Naturally not, Xie Jingan, no matter before or after crossing, had never seen such a dignified person, who looked like a dog on the surface, but actually had a black heart inside.

Xie Jing'an looked at his face, and felt slanderous in his heart for a while, before he smiled and said, "What Master Liu said is that it's really not easy to build a house in such a cold weather, and it's snowing so thickly, so it should be postponed." Yes, it is only feasible to extend it for a year or so, but it is not too long to extend it for a few years. After all, the houses of the people in Xishui Village have been collapsed by the heavy snow. If they cannot repair the houses before the spring, they will have to Where are they going to live? Besides, the tens of thousands of acres of land need to be taken care of by them. As their master, Mr. Liu can't let those fields go to waste, can he?"

Liu Qin's face froze when he asked Xie Jingan to speak, and the complacency in his heart dropped a lot. He was about to open his mouth to say something, but he heard someone already said: "It's just some dry fields. It sounds like a lot, but every year There is not much food to be produced, and it is not enough for me to pay for my makeup and face for a month, let alone dozens of big houses. It is a loss-making business, so it is better to let it go to waste, my father said yes? "

The one who spoke was the fourth young lady of the big house of the Liu family. She was not very old, but she looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, and she was also very beautiful. But as soon as he opened his mouth, his coquettish appearance made this love go away seven or eight points.

Liu Qin was like this, he froze his face and strangled his daughter to death, he hurriedly scolded, then stood up and bowed to Xie Jingan to make amends: "Your Highness, forgive me, this child is spoiled by her mother, I don't know The sky is high and the earth is thick, so I offended His Highness with words, and I hope His Highness will forgive her this time because of her young age." As he spoke, he winked desperately to make Fourth Miss stand up and apologize.

Seeing her father like this, Miss Si realized that she had said something wrong, but the youngest daughter felt a bit embarrassed by making an apology like this, and she stopped talking for a moment before she blushed He whispered: "Your Highness, forgive me, it was the young girl who offended His Highness recklessly, and please Your Highness consider that this is her first offence, so don't argue with her."

"Arguing? What are you arguing about?" Xie Jingan picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea, then smiled in surprise and said, "As a feudal lord, how can I really be arguing with a child?"

Seeing what Xie Jingan said, Liu Qin thought that this article had been turned over, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard him say indifferently: "It's just that this king doesn't care about it, but it doesn't mean that my brothers are so good. Sex, child, you still have to take care of it, otherwise if you spoil it, you will bring trouble to the family sooner or later, Mr. Liu said, right?"

Liu Qin's face that had just cooled down caused Xie Jingan to heat up again when he said this, and he gave the fourth young lady who was aggrieved and unwilling, and said with a sneer: "What your highness said is that you are just a parent, how can you not feel sorry for your own children?" Yes, I wanted to be stricter in the past, but her mother was kind-hearted, so it dragged on until now, spoiling her, but don't worry, Your Highness, I will strictly discipline her after I go back, and I will definitely discipline her well. , no longer cause trouble for the family."

Miss Liu Si just looked at Xie Jingan with grievances, but when she heard this, she immediately turned into a face of complaint, but Xie Jingan just pretended not to see it, and said with a smile: "This king just said it casually, why did Master Liu take it seriously?" Disciplining children is a matter of Master Liu’s inner house, Master Liu does it according to his own temperament, there is no need to report to this king, otherwise in the eyes of others, they will think that this king is forcing Master Liu to rectify the inner house.”

Liu Qin felt more and more hot as if his skin was about to burn, he cupped his hands repeatedly and said: "The matter taught by His Highness is indeed a family matter, and has nothing to do with others."

Xie Jingan smiled lightly, as if he didn't understand the irony in his words.

However, Liu Qin seemed to be in the middle of the conversation, and before he finished speaking, he said with emotion again: "Speaking of which, your highness is the only fan of Mozhou, so-and-so hasn't been to Chang'an for many years, so-and-so vaguely remembers that the last time he went to Chang'an was some When my great-uncle celebrated his [-]th birthday, Chang'an was extremely bustling and bustling. I don't know how the prosperity has become over the past few years. I still remember seeing His Highness the Crown Prince at the birthday banquet when he was just a handsome young man. , Now that His Highness is married to the Crown Princess, what kind of aura should it be? Your Highness is the prince's brother, and he has not been in the feudal clan for a long time. He must know His Highness very well. Why don't His Highness tell someone about what the Crown Prince is like now? appearance, so that someone can have an impression, and pray for the prince day and night."

This is bringing out the crown prince to suppress him, Xie Jingan smiled slightly, not annoyed, and followed his words: "The crown prince is two years younger than this king, and he is eighteen years old. He looks the same as when he was a child, but he is taller. He has grown up, he is more imposing, and people are busier than before. As the crown prince, he has to meet many important officials in the court every day. Because this king has no interest in court affairs, he doesn't know much about it, but It is vaguely heard that they are the Ministers of the Ministry of Households, or the Ministers of the Ministry of Officials, in short, they are all senior officials of the second and third ranks, like the fourth and fifth ranks, but this king has never heard of it."

This is a satire that his family is only a fourth-rank official, so don't think that hugging the prince's leg is self-satisfied. Liu Qin understood the meaning hidden in King Shun's words, and was so angry that he almost gritted his teeth, and was about to say some more sex When Feng spoke, he saw the curtain hanging in the flower hall was suddenly lifted from the outside, and a man with thin cheeks walked in who had just passed by.

Liu Qin was yelling that the words he wanted to say but didn't say were stuck in his throat and he couldn't get up and down. Without the gentleness just now, the eyes that looked at him were as cold as knives, which pierced his whole body, and he shivered involuntarily.

Liu Qinneng managed the Liu family in an orderly manner in Mozhou, and it continued to grow. Naturally, he is not a fool. Now that he saw Xie Jingan's expression, he knew that he was not good. He slightly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and was about to get up and ask questions , I heard Xie Jingan look at him coldly and suddenly said: "Liu Qin, are you guilty?"

guilty?Liu Qin only felt as if a thunder was exploding beside his ears. He was so frightened that he trembled more and more, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead in just a moment. Although he is not a good person, he also abides by the law and has never done anything harmful to nature. If His Highness does not believe it, he can ask the city guard of Mozhou or other officials of Mozhou. In the past many years in Mozhou, there is no one better than them It’s more proof of a certain person.”

"Master Liu is talking too much to deceive himself and others, so are you taking these lies seriously?" Xie Jingan sneered: "Master Liu, don't think that this king has wronged you. Since this king says you are guilty, it is natural to check clearly. Don't be impatient, Mr. Liu, I will bring personal and material evidence to confront Mr. Liu later."

As he spoke, he waved his hands and told Jiang Zheng: "Please invite Master Liu's family down and lock them up in the wing room for the time being. They are not allowed to move or speak. When General Lin returns, I will interrogate him again."

The guard in the flower hall was already ready to move, but now that he got Xie Jingan's order, he immediately pulled out the knife from his waist and rushed forward like a wolf. Although the Liu family members were frightened by this scene and collapsed to the ground, but Liu The man from the family refused to catch him without a fight, and he had to go through a few strokes with the guards before he was pinned down on the ground. The two guards held his arms one by one on the left and the other on the right, making him unable to move.

The flower hall was really chaotic for a while, and Liu Zheng snatched a guard's shoulder knife, wanting to rush forward to control Xie Jing'an so as to gain a chance to breathe, but it's a pity that Jiang Zheng's guards were always by his side, so he rushed forward a little distance away, He was kicked out by Jiang Zheng so hard that he lay on the ground for a long time without breathing, and was soon held up by the guard with a knife.

Hearing the terrified cries of his wife and daughter, and the tragic scene of his eldest son being crushed to the ground, Liu Qin's outspoken lips trembled, and he looked at Xie Jing'an with resentment in his eyes, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "I, Liu The family has been loyal and good for generations, you took us into prison indiscriminately, His Royal Highness will definitely seek justice for us, just wait, wait until His Royal Highness receives my letter, and see how the Holy Majesty will punish you, for me! The family washes away the grievances."

Liu Qin wanted to yell loudly, but Xie Jingan listened impatiently, he waved his hand to ask someone to put a veil on his mouth, and pushed him down.

The whole family of the Liu family was escorted away, Xie Jingan's heart that had been collapsing immediately relaxed, and his upright sitting posture also relaxed by two points, but Director Qin was not as relaxed as he was, with a sad face, hesitating for a moment, and said after deliberation: " Your Highness, I think that Liu Qin is not alarmist. Since he said those words, he must have written a letter to the crown prince. Now that the snow is hard to travel, the person sent by the Liu family must not have gone far. Do you want your Highness to send someone to recover that letter?"

"What are you doing chasing after that letter?" Xie Jingan said, "It's not that this king wronged him. With definite evidence of the crime in hand, even if the crown prince came to this king in person, this king would not be accommodating. Besides, The Liu family's evil deeds are obvious, if the crown prince knows what he has done and it's too late to get rid of him, how can he speak for him?"

"That's what I said," Mr. Qin said, "it's just that the Liu family has worked for the prince for many years, and has always looked forward to the prince's leadership. If His Highness sends someone to intervene when His Highness is collecting evidence of the Liu family's crimes, I'm afraid His Highness will fall short. This is a big family, and those shady properties under their names are all over the states and counties. His Highness wants to investigate one by one, at least it will take a few months. By then, the letter from the Liu family has already reached the crown prince. Add oil and vinegar to His Majesty's imperial case and add His Highness a copy, Your Highness can say, I'm afraid that the life of Concubine Hui and the princess will be difficult."

This is true, Xie Jingan sighed a little. If he had to say what he was most dissatisfied with, it was the traffic in ancient times. No matter what he did, the time spent was always measured in months, just like the case handled by Wei Changshi. It's been two months, and I don't know if I can finish it and go back to Mozhou before the New Year's Eve.

Xie Jingan felt disgusted in his heart every day, pondered for a moment, got up and said: "Forget it, although this king has a clear conscience, it is better to have one thing more than one thing less, but it's fine to recover the letter. It doesn't matter if others think that this king is guilty, send someone It’s enough for someone to catch up and give that person some time in the middle. The king will write a letter now, and it must be delivered to the crown prince one step ahead of the Liu family’s letter. I think the crown prince knows what the Liu family has done over the years. In any case, I will not blame this king for something that hurts nature and reason."
