I wish for a long time

Ye Jiu never expected that it would be Fugu Restaurant.

Even if he had been there that day, there was nothing unusual on the surface.

She looked at the complete set of furnaces in the dark room, and sighed, "Mo Ru, please inform Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice that this case is about to be closed."

Xiao Lanfeng ordered someone to carry the things out, and then said: "The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment has always been hostile to Mr. Guo. I am afraid that in the next few days, the streets of the capital will be flooded with blood again."

Ye Jiuhuan looked around: "Even if there is no festival, His Majesty will not let him off lightly if it's just for common people's grievances."

She suddenly thought of something, "Mo Ru, what kind of person is Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment?"

Xiao Lanfeng pursed his lips, "Master Zhang is stern, and usually not soft-hearted, he is known as an iron face."

Ye Jiu heard the words and thought to himself, if he guessed correctly, the Qi family's case was tried by Dali Temple and reexamined by the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

If it is said that the Ministry of Criminal Justice enforces the law impartially and uses strict methods, then Brother Qi...

"Xiao Jiu?"

Ye Jiu was taken aback by being called, and looked up at Xiao Lanfeng blankly, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Lanfeng was inexplicable: "I still want to ask you what's wrong, why are you standing here stupidly when everyone is gone?"

Ye Jiu came to his senses, and quickly said, "Oh, I'm thinking about Fugu Restaurant, what are you going to do with these people?"

Xiao Lanfeng thought for a while, "This matter is due to the collusion between the shopkeeper and the Minister of the Household Department. Except for those craftsmen, no one else knows about it. These people's lives can be saved, but the restaurant will definitely be closed."

Ye Jiu nodded, "Then, I want to keep someone."

Xiao Lanfeng groaned, "Who?"

"His cook."

……

When Ye Jiu returned to the mansion, he saw Bai Jian, whom he hadn't seen for many days, and Nan Yuan, who had disappeared for a long time.

"Son!"

Nan Yuan was obviously tanned, and Ye Jiu was stunned for a moment before realizing who the little black man in front of him was.

"Jin'er is back."

Seeing Ye Jiu, Baijian smiled.

Ye Jiu cupped his hands, "Long time no see Uncle Bai."

Nan Yuan pouted, "I haven't seen you for a while, okay?"

"Nanyuan, don't be rude."

It wasn't until the deep voice sounded that Ye Jiu realized that there was still a person standing beside Nan Yuan.

The dark brown robe with a black belt, from the momentum to the words, except for the appearance, it is the second white room.

"Bei Xiao met the young master."

Ye Jiu suddenly realized that it was Si Tong's big brother, Bei Xiao.

Since she got it out of Dongfei's mouth, among the four links, Beixiao is the longest, good at housekeeping layout, Dongfei is second, good at searching and inquiring, Xi Ning is the third, good at assassination and unannounced visits, only Nanyuan and Xiao Bengdou are alone. , but it turned out to be the best at martial arts.

Among the four, the north and south are in the light, and the east and west are in the dark. They are Bai Jian's most powerful subordinates in these years.

Seeing Nan Yuan's deflated appearance, Ye Jiu felt relieved for no reason, she waved her hand indifferently, "It's okay, it's okay."

"Uncle Bai, where have you all gone, and you ran away without knowing it."

Bai Jian smiled and sipped his tea, "I'm not looking for a congratulatory gift for you."

Ye Jiu regained his energy when he heard it, the gift surprise or something, it's so delicious!

"Beixiao."

Bei Xiao's handsome face didn't fluctuate much, she nodded and shook off the package on her shoulders.

Ye Jiu watched helplessly as the glittering gold, silver and agate beads "boomed" into a few blue books lying quietly.

Pink Dream woke up, and her heart was broken.

"That's it?"

Bai Jian raised his chin, "Open it and have a look."

Ye Jiu was a little puzzled, took it as he said, and only glanced at it a few times, but he was not feeling well.

"This is the account book for receiving and distributing grain in the affected counties?!"

Bai Jian smiled and said nothing, Ye Jiu quickly opened several other books, covering almost all the counties that were seriously affected by the disaster this time, and even one was the county magistrate's record of "donation" to the state capital.

Ye Jiu felt that his hand weighed a thousand catties.

When these books are handed over, from the household department to the local government, all the officials in this line will have to change their blood.

The way she looked at Bai Jian changed.

It seems that Uncle Bai had expected this situation from the very beginning, so before the local government got the news, he acted preemptively and got the evidence of their fraud first.

"Uncle Bai, you are too dark."

Ye Jiu couldn't laugh or cry, "Those county magistrates probably won't be able to sleep peacefully every day."

Bai Jian smiled kindly, "Since it's a gift to Jin'er, it shouldn't be small."

Ye Jiu looked back at Bei Xiao and Nan Yuan, "What did you two do?"

Nan Yuan laughed foolishly, Bei Xiao only nodded slightly.

"Good job!"

Seeing Ye Jiu put away the account book, Bai Jian said again: "I heard that the Minister of the Household Department has been imprisoned, is there any change in Beijing?"

Ye Jiu frowned slightly, "The case of Minister of the Household Department is basically over, but the brother-in-law behind her has not moved."

Baijian thought for a moment, "Jin'er is talking about the Chu family."

Ye Jiu nodded, "Someone once sent a killer to destroy the evidence, I suspect it was Uncle Chu."

Bai Jian stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and then slowly said: "Your Uncle Chu was the prefect of Yingzhou in the early years, and after the case of King Cheng's treason and meritorious prosecution, he entered Beijing and became an official in Beijing, and then he was promoted all the way to Taiwei. "

Ye Jiu didn't know why, "Prince Cheng's rebellion? What does it have to do with this matter?"

There was a pause during the day, and the voice suddenly sank: "You were lost by captives, which is precisely the time when King Cheng plotted against you."

Ye Jiu was taken aback. She only knew that Lin Shijin's whereabouts were unknown back then, but she didn't know that it was related to King Cheng's conspiracy.

"Who is King Cheng?"

"The younger brother of the late emperor, Chu Huai."

He paused for a moment, "Your Uncle Chu's report is not only related to the destruction of the mansion, but also related to your father's death in Lingnan."

Ye Jiu felt that she had stepped on a big thunder, she was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.

She vaguely remembered that at that time, Uncle Bai had said that before General Lin's defeat in Lingnan, it happened to be Jin'er's birthday. At that time, news of victory came frequently, but then he was suddenly defeated for no reason.

"The matter of King Cheng's treason has something to do with General Lin...my father?"

Bai Jian knew that she had thought of those things, and shook her head, "The matter of King Cheng involves the royal family. Due to the royal face, it has not been made public, so now it can only be a guess."

Ye Jiu frowned, this matter seemed to be over, but also seemed to have just begun.

"Based on this, your Uncle Chu is regarded as a half-benefactor of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, and he has taken good care of the Marquis Mansion all these years. It can be said that if it weren't for the former emperor, the Chu family, and the old generals, the Marquis Mansion might not have been able to last for so many years. "

Ye Jiu was completely silent when he heard the words.

The Chu family was gracious to the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and even helped her in the matter of attacking the prince, so there was no need for him to deliberately block her way at this time.

Although he and Guo Wenxin are related by marriage, the blacksmith is just a springboard after all. Even if he is killed, there will be only one less witness, and Guo Wenxin will be very cold.

In that case, who would be the one to intervene?

Ye Jiu only felt his brain buzzing, and his face was a little ugly, "I'll check it out again."

……

bamboo garden.

Qi Shaoan came out of the study and saw the bedroom door was open, she was overjoyed, she didn't expect Ajiu to come back so early.

"Ajiu?"

Qi Shaoan walked into the room and called softly, but no one answered.

"Ah... Lianqing?"

Qi Shao'an walked around the Bogu shelf, only to find that Lian Qing was standing by the closet, arranging something.

"Who told you to do this?"

Qi Shao'an walked over quickly, seeing Lian Qing holding a pile of clothes in her arms, raised her brows, and her voice was a bit cold.

Lian Qing was startled immediately, her clothes almost fell to the ground, "Young...Young Madam..."

Qi Shao'an glanced at her frightened expression, and his eyes fell on the cabinet, seeing that Lian Qing only turned Ye Jiu's outer clothes, and did not touch the underwear inside, he was relieved.

"The young master's clothes don't need to be tidied up by others, didn't Wei Yu tell you about this?"

Qi Shao stood quietly in front of Lianqing, his face seemed to be covered with a thin layer of frost, his dark eyes had no flat smile at this moment, it was so cold that it was daunting.

Lian Qing choked up for a moment, not knowing what to say, "I... I... Sister Wei Yu did... indeed said..."

"Then why are you still here?"

Qi Shaoan frowned slightly, Ajiu's personal belongings were all in the closet, if Lian Qing really found them out, the consequences would be disastrous.

Thinking of this, Qi Shao'an's expression became even more unkind.

Lianqing suddenly knelt down on the ground with a "plop", holding a few outer robes in her arms, she cried out anxiously, "Young madam, this servant is also confused for a moment, please young madam, please spare this servant."

After saying that, Lianqing quickly kowtowed, Qi Shaoan was neither reprimanded nor punished, her head was a little swollen.

"Shao...An'an?"

Ye Jiu stood in front of the ancient bookshelf, looking at the scene beside the bed, he couldn't react for a while.

Her mind was full of what Uncle Bai said just now, and she didn't realize that something was wrong in the room until she walked in.

"What's the matter, what did Lian Qing do wrong?"

Ye Jiu was a little puzzled, her Shao'er was not a harsh person, but now she let the little maid kneel on the ground, she wondered for a moment how did Lian Qing provoke Shao'er.

"Master, I beg the young master to say something nice for the servant, and tell the young lady not to drive the servant away. The servant knows it's wrong... I know it's wrong..."

Seeing Ye Jiulai, Lian Qing quickly took two steps on her knees, grabbed Ye Jiu's hem, and cried and begged.

Ye Jiu looked down at the girl's crying eyes and nose, and looked at Qi Shao'an with some embarrassment, "An'an, this..."

Qi Shao'an saw Lian Qing's wronged appearance, no matter how he looked at it, he was making things difficult for her.

Especially seeing Ye Jiu looking at him, Qi Shaoan felt sad, turned his head and sat by the bed, pursed his lips and said nothing.

Ye Jiu choked for a moment, and had no choice but to pull Lian Qing who was pulling him up first, "Why did Young Madam drive you away?"

Lian Qing wiped the tears on her face, and sobbed, "It was the servant who saw that the young master and young lady's wardrobes were left unattended, so she embroidered a fresh and insect-repelling sachet on her own initiative, but forgot Miss Wei Yu's instructions, Slaves deserve to die."

Ye Jiu looked at Lian Qing and was about to cry again, so he hurriedly asked, "Xiao Yu?"

"Sister Weiyu said that the servants are not allowed to touch the master's wardrobe."

Ye Jiu saw that Qi Shao'an turned his back and didn't even look this way, so he wanted to dismiss Lian Qing quickly, "Oh, it's such a big deal, you just don't want to do it again next time, Young Madam won't drive you away."

Lian Qing stared at her watery eyes, "Is what the young master said true?"

Ye Jiu nodded, "Really, put down your clothes and go out."

Seeing that Ye Jiu's expression didn't look like a fake, Lian Qing happily put the clothes on the couch, and went out again wiping her tears.

Ye Jiu looked at the messy clothes and the half-open cabinet door, and sighed softly. She walked lightly to the bed and poked her head over, "Are you angry?"

Qi Shaoan turned her face away and ignored her, with her head slightly lowered and her lips pursed slightly.

"How about I pull Lian Qing back and scold her again?"

Ye Jiu sat across from Qi Shaoan, leaning down close to her cheek, Qi Shaoan snorted softly, and turned away directly.

Ye Jiu thought for a while, "Oh~ that's why you're angry with me."

She sneaked a look at Qi Shaoan's expression, seeing that she didn't turn her head again, she thought she guessed it right.

"Angry at me for not turning to you?"

Qi Shao'an pushed Ye Jiu's shoulder away when he heard the words, and said in a bad tone, "How can I be so stingy."

Ye Jiu was caught off guard by the push, she froze for a moment, then smiled helplessly, "Then why are you so angry?"

Qi Shao'an lowered his head, and said in a muffled voice, "Do you also think that I am making trouble for no reason and berating my servants harshly?"

Ye Jiu was amused when she heard the words, she took Qi Shao'an's hand, "Shao'er, why do you think so?"

Qi Shaoan faced the pile of robes, her eyes drifted, "Lian Qing has been crying like that, if she doesn't know, she thinks something is wrong with me..."

Seeing her aggrieved look, Ye Jiu was about to laugh in his heart, but he tried his best to hold back, "Even if she passed away crying, I will only believe you."

Hearing this, Qi Shaoan looked up at her, and murmured, "I didn't say drive her away..."

Ye Jiu nodded: "Yes."

Seeing her stiff face, Qi Shaoan knew that she was holding back her laughter, and immediately burst into outrage, "You're still laughing! You know that if she finds out something that shouldn't be found out, you'll have to pay back those bra straps and panties." have to!"

She picked up the pillow and patted it, Ye Jiu quickly hugged her head, "Ah, yes, yes, Shao'er is right, I didn't think carefully."

Qi Shaoan was so angry that her chest kept heaving, Ye Jiu grabbed her by the waist and fell down on the bed.

Qi Shaoan was caught off guard, and was firmly pressed down by Ye Jiu, "Ye Jiu, don't fool around."

Ye Jiu saw her serious face, with anger in the seriousness and shyness in the anger, how could she be so pretty.

"Ma'am, you have the final say on house matters, so why are you relying on me again?"

Ye Jiu's phoenix eyes were slightly squinted, and the corners of his lips curled up in a nice curve, with a little charm.

Qi Shaoan was startled, turned his head away, and muttered in a low voice: "It's nothing to do with you everywhere."

Ye Jiu felt that his back was extremely heavy now, and every mouthful was full of black pot.

"Shao'er, the conscience of heaven and earth, your husband and I are busy with the case, so I don't have time to look at flowers and plants."

Qi Shao'an looked at Ye Jiu's innocent face, and just about to speak, she felt her waist loosen. She lowered her head, and she saw a little paw pulling her belt.

"Ye Jiu!"

Ye Jiu smiled embarrassedly, "Uh, it's easy..."

Qi Shaoan glared at her, "Then tell me, who was the girl that night?"

Ye Jiu was stunned for a moment, "What? At night?"

Seeing Qi Shaoan squinting at him, Ye Jiu finally remembered, "Oh, you said Xi Ning, she is Uncle Bai's subordinate, and she came to help me investigate the case."

She looked at Qi Shaoan's dubious eyes, and added, "Same as Dongfei."

Qi Shaoan lowered his eyes, "Then someone will give you a sachet...Ye Jiu!"

Qi Shaoan was talking, and the belt of Xiaoyi was also untied, she was so angry that she slapped Ye Jiu, "Be serious!"

Ye Jiu nodded again and again, and opened the brocade cloth with his fingers, a touch of lake blue came into view.

"I only love the bag you gave me."

Qi Shao'an pursed her lips, and turned her head, "Who knows if you'll love new things... ah..."

Feeling the fullness of his palm, Ye Jiu bent his lips and smiled, before kissing that thin lip, he said softly:

"I only love you."

The author has something to say: there is no fa to say, it depends on fate, sigh.
