I Became the Older Brother of the Heroine in an Abusive Novel

Xue Yan sat obliquely in the carriage, propped his face impatiently, put his other hand on his knee, and tapped his fingers one after another.

There have been rumors in the court recently that the fifth prince suddenly got the favor of the emperor and entered the Ministry of Punishment at a young age.

How much honor is that?

Some people said that it was because Emperor Qingping doted on Concubine Shu and favored the Jun family, others said that Xue Yan had some tricks secretly, and some said that it was because other princes frequently caused troubles that the emperor noticed him.

Regardless of the reason, in short, everyone knows that Xue Yan has had great luck.

But Xue Yan felt annoyed.

In the past, Emperor Qingping hated him and wished that there would be no one like him in the palace. On the contrary, he was happy and quiet, and it was not difficult to plan and arrange by himself.On the contrary, this time, the fate of his evil star was solved in front of Emperor Qingping, and he suddenly seemed to be sick, and became his own father overnight.

Xue Yan never knew that having a real father was such a troublesome thing.

Not only did he have to be summoned to talk one after another, but he was also found a useless position in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and there were trivial chores for him to do every day.

It was as if he had been given a great honor and favor, with a trusting and loving appearance, which attracted the attention of everyone in the court, those who came forward to flatter and probe, were like gangrene on the tarsal bone, and could not be chased away.

It also caused Dongchang to test several times, and taught him to spend a lot of effort to show his sincerity before appeasing them.

However, Xue Yan was able to handle these things.There was only one thing, like a flame falling into a dry pyre, which ignited all the things that irritated him.

Xue Yan pulled out the hidden compartment on the carriage irritably, and took out a thin book from inside.

"Du E Sutra".

He opened the scripture book with one hand and read it boredly.

The thing that upset him the most was Jun Huailang's departure.

As if leaving no trace at all, when he returned to Mingluan Palace, he even emptied the luggage in the east hall.The huge side hall was heavily locked, as if no one had ever lived in it.

That person disappeared from his world without a sound, and it was just when he vaguely understood what kind of feelings he had for the other party.

The boy who just fell in love was at the time when his anger was at its peak, but his red thread was cut off suddenly, and his restless heart was locked in a cage abruptly.

That heart was bumping left and right in the iron fence all day long, which made him feel bad every day.

But today, another boring case fell into his hands.

Emperor Qingping seemed to intend to give him a chance to show his skills, so that he could show it to all the officials in the court and Emperor Qingping himself.And the officials of the Ministry of Punishment also wanted to flatter their horses. If there were any lucrative cases, they would be handed over to him, so that they could sell him some favors.

Although Xue Yan didn't want to appreciate it, the official was still considered his superior, and he had to do the assigned tasks.

The official asked him to recover the son of a household official who had embezzled a huge sum of money.

That kid was the official's legitimate son, and after his father fell from the horse, the Ministry of Punishment ransacked his home as usual.Unexpectedly, the account book of the house search did not match the number, and there was a shortfall of more than 1 taels of silver.

It turned out that this boy absconded with his father's stolen money and hid in a concubine's house.After being investigated by the court, he fled out of the city with his concubine, wife and children, hoping to hide his name with money and live a happy life.

In Xue Yan's view, this kind of problem can be solved by sending someone to arrest him and torture him, but the Minister of Criminal Affairs insisted on letting Xue Yan handle it.

Although the original intention of the Minister of Criminal Justice was to sell Xue Yan a favor, let him capture the kid back without any effort, confiscate the stolen money, and keep some of it after plucking the feathers.

But how could he have imagined that Xue Yan didn't care about this little money at all.

Therefore, this flattery was slapped on the hoof.

Xue Yan waited boredly. After a while, a soldier came to report that he had caught someone and asked if he could withdraw the team.

Xue Yan raised his hand, signaling that he wanted to get off the car.

"Here's the interrogation." He said lightly.

In the past two days, he received information that the son's concubine was a young lady whom he had just bought out in a brothel a month ago.Long before redeeming her, the two of them had made an oath to each other, that they must be king.For the sake of this woman, this young master was beaten up by his father at home, and he insisted on not letting him marry him.

And when his father had an accident, he immediately went to find her with money and wanted to elope with that woman.If his wife hadn't brought the child to the door, he wouldn't have brought these three with him.

At this time, when the team is closed, only his family can be captured, and the bank note must be hidden with the woman in the brothel.

If this son-in-law treats her with more love than Jin Jian, if he doesn't talk about life and death, it will be more troublesome.

Xue Yan was too lazy to waste time on such a mess.

After getting his order, Jin Bao, who was waiting outside, quickly set up a footstool for him, and opened the curtain to ask him to get out of the car.Xue Yan got out of the car and walked straight to the post house without looking sideways.

The idlers and others have been driven to the corner by the soldiers, and Xue Yan has already vacated most of the huge lobby of the post house, which is spacious and quiet.

Only the cries of the women and children who were taken down were left.

Jin Bao stepped forward quickly and moved a chair for him.Xue Yan turned around, flicked his cloak, and sat down on the chair.

"Search." He said lightly.

Immediately, several soldiers stepped forward and searched those people up and down, including all the luggage they brought with them.

However, there were only a few pieces of money, and there was no huge amount of money that this young master took away.

The brothel girl was beside her, sobbing and crying: "The official wants to search, and he needs to give some reasons. The little girl's body and the package are all the little girl's own money. Whatever the official wants to search, I will also give the little girl." That's right!"

As she spoke, she delicately wiped her tears away.

Next to him, the young master's wife and two children also cried. For a moment, it was very miserable, as if he was using his power to oppress women and children.

Xue Yan knew that these people had made up their minds and felt that they dared not do anything.

After all, the corrupt official has already been sent to prison to ransack his home, waiting to be executed by Qiu Hou, and his family members have not been implicated, even if the officials handling the case come, they cannot be moved.

The bank note couldn't be found, and the officials didn't have any evidence. Who knows if the money was spent or lost?Nature can't do anything to them.

But they didn't know that the person in front of them was Xue Yan.

The most important thing is that the six relatives do not recognize and are not afraid of anything.

He just raised his eyelids lightly and glanced at Brother Young Master.

"Where is it?" he asked.

That young master was really lucky, he hesitated and said: "What are you asking? The villain doesn't know."

If the money is handed over, even if the imperial court does not want his life, how can he survive?Besides, the woman followed him out of the brothel to live with him, how could she suffer so much...

But Xue Yan slowly looked away, raised his chin, and gestured towards the brothel girl.

"Come on," he said. "Break off her finger and ask again."

The people in the post house were all merchants and ordinary people who came and went. At this time, they didn't dare to show their anger, and when they heard that the high-ranking officials wanted to torture them on the spot, they trembled in fright for a while.

A soldier stepped forward.

They have followed Xue Yanyue for more than a year, so they can understand this master's order thoroughly.The soldier stepped forward and first pressed the brothel woman's wrist on the table, and then another soldier stepped forward and drew out a shiny dagger.

The two turned their heads, waiting for Xue Yan's next order.

Sure enough, the woman struggled violently and cried, shaking like chaff in front of the dagger.Brother Young Master's face also became extremely ugly, his legs were trembling, and he was already a little speechless.

Xue Yan turned his head to look at him.

"Ask one more time, and just chop one off. I don't know if her hands are strong enough for you to remember the truth." He said lightly. "If you want to force me to ask No. 11 times, then her life will stay here today."

The young master was so frightened that he almost fell to his knees, and hurriedly shouted: "You use lynching in public like this, is there any law for you!"

"Wang Fa?" Xue Yan smiled lazily.

Jin Bao, who was standing by the side, is now best at observing words and demeanor and fighting against others.He glanced at his master's expression, a proud and sarcastic smile suddenly appeared on his face, and said contemptuously: "Wang Fa? Do you know which master is in front of you, so you dare to talk about Wang Fa?"

Together with the eunuch's unique sharp voice, everyone present trembled.

How many men can be served by eunuchs in the whole world?

The young master's legs went limp, and he fell to his knees immediately.

He knew that the person in front of him today must be the prince of the palace.Today, not to mention chopping off a few fingers of his concubine, even killing their family, no one dared to say a word.

Then, he heard Xue Yan say lazily: "You don't want to make a move yet, do you want me to rush you?"

The dagger fell suddenly.

The woman's cry suddenly became sharper.

"Husband! Husband, save me!" she cried. "Just tell him, tell him!"

The dagger that fell halfway, rubbed against her fingers and stopped.

"I don't want to hear more nonsense." Xue Yan raised his hand, curled his fingers, and rested them lazily on the side of his face.

The young master who was kneeling on the ground trembled and said: "I have... already sent my boy to the north overnight, and now it should be in Wangping Village in the northern suburb of Chang'an."

Xue Yan looked sideways, and glanced at the soldier captain standing beside him.

"Listen clearly?" he asked.

The captain saluted immediately.

Xue Yan turned his gaze back, and ordered lightly: "Tie them up, and after finding the bank notes, return to the Ministry of Punishment."

The captain should be, leading the soldiers to tie up several people in an orderly manner, one group escorted several people back to the city, and the other group went north to find the bank notes.

Xue Yan got up slowly.

Jin Bao hurriedly stepped forward, moved the chair that was in the way for him, and made way for him: "Master, should we go back to the Ministry of Punishment or to the palace."

Xue Yan said: "Go back to the palace."

Jin Bao let out a hey quickly, turned around and was about to put the chair beside him.

Immediately afterwards, a blue figure standing on the stairs slammed into Jin Bao's eyes.

After staying with that Bodhisattva for several months, how can Jin Bao not know who it is?

He raised his head cautiously, and sure enough, His Royal Highness was standing on the stairs, seeing all the scenes just now.

Jin Bao's heart skipped a beat.

This... the master's cruel, domineering, domineering, ready to take people's fingers and lives, isn't it suitable for Bodhisattvas to see?

He only hated himself for being dull, why he didn't feel the Buddha's light on the Bodhisattva when he was so close.

After entering the treasure, he realized later, and smiled flatteringly at Jun Huailang.

And just at this moment, Xue Yan who walked to the door realized that Jin Bao hadn't followed, and turned around impatiently.

"If you haven't gotten out yet, are you dead inside?" He turned his head and asked coldly.

Jin Bao's heart skipped a beat.

Master, when did you scold me badly, why did you pick this moment!

Sure enough, he turned his head cautiously, and saw that the master didn't move.

He and His Royal Highness looked at each other.

The master looked straight at His Royal Highness with eyes full of laziness, impatience and hostility just now, how could there be that arrogant and cold look just now?On the contrary, it was full of surprise and uneasiness that could not be concealed.

Although he still stood up straight, with no expression on his face, he always looked like a student who had done something wrong and was caught by his master.

It looks like a wolf that used to be arrogant, its majestic wolf ears, and a proud wolf tail are drooping down.
