wife and king

"That's right." Xu Songming's complexion was also extremely ugly, and a white line was drawn on his tightly pursed lips, "A certain person has sent someone to investigate the family of Shangshu of the Ministry of War and its distant relatives, and found that the so-called Ji Fuxin is actually just a member of their family." Distant relatives, both of his parents were lost, about ten years ago, Fang went to the home of the Minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and died unexpectedly seven years ago, because the household registration did not belong to the Minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs, so a certain person has not been able to find out this person until many years ago A few days ago, the prince ordered someone to investigate the family of Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and someone found out. But the strange thing is that Ji Fuxin's household registration does not record his death."

"Huh?" Le Zi frowned, "Then how did you find out that this person is dead?"

Xu Songming tightened his face, and said seriously: "At that time, I asked my neighbors about Ji Fu's heart, but I found out about it from an old man. Later, I asked many people to confirm it in private, and I was convinced of it."

"Could it be that someone is making random rumors?" Le Ziyou's face was not quite right.

"No, I have confirmed it in many ways, and I have also found the servant in Shangshu's mansion, and I am sure that the news is accurate."

Snapped!Le Zi slapped the table with his palm, the veins on the back of his hand were throbbing, and the blue blood vessels were clearly visible. He almost angrily squeezed out words from between his lips and teeth: "Then who is he! Could it be that he used someone else's identity to sneak into the A spy in the prince's mansion? If that's the case..." He stopped talking suddenly, his eyes widened. He couldn't imagine that if that person had such thoughts, then Yan Cangling...

"No way!" Le Ziyou jumped up, "We have to deal with him first!"

"Hey, don't worry." After all, Xu Songming was a little more stable, pulled him back, and analyzed, "You have wronged him. He didn't reveal his identity from the beginning to the end. We are here Random guesses, after all, will not be accurate."

"Then what should we do!" Le Ziyou pulled her hand back impatiently, "Mu Qing has already raised his head to rescue the Minister of the Ministry of War, if he has nothing to do with the Minister of the Ministry of War, wouldn't Mu Qing's actions be useless!"

Xu Songming pondered for a while, then calmly said: "You can't say that. The Minister of the Ministry of War has served for many years, and he must have a lot of connections. The prince rescued him, and he will definitely get a lot of benefits from him. This is also beneficial to the prince's grand plan. When Wang Bin arrived, the prince had the heart to save the Minister of the Ministry of War, but he was concerned about his own life and the interests behind him, so he didn't agree on the spot. Later, the prince said that he planned to hang himself Wang Bin, when the time is right, lure Wang Bin to come so that he can take the initiative. Otherwise, if he agreed at that time, he would be easily controlled by Wang Bin. Moreover," Xu Songming analyzed word by word, "the prince said that the benefactor in the mansion will definitely It was the son who rescued Wang Bin back then. The prince recognized the person accurately. If he was not completely sure, he would never make such an assertion. Combined with the fact that a certain benefactor has not been able to find out the whereabouts of the benefactor before, we might as well guess that this benefactor is really related to the Minister of the Ministry of War. The connection, but it is not recorded in the household registration, plus many coincidences, it has caused misunderstandings to everyone."

Le Ziyou's heart settled down because of Xu Songming's words, but his brows were still furrowed: "Then according to what you said, what should we do now. Hey," he clapped his palms, scratched his ears and said, "I'm useless! I can make wild guesses, Zhong Liang, I can't come up with any ideas, what you say we should do is up to you!"

Xu Songming stroked his chin, pondered for a long time, and then continued after a long while: "We have to wait. If this benefactor has other intentions, he will definitely do something during the absence of the prince. If not, he is really an innocent person. He will definitely We will keep our own place, so we don't have to worry about it. As for the prince, a certain suggestion is still hidden from him. After all, it is because of his benefactor that he has the heart to save the Minister of the Ministry of War. If you are affected, you will be tied up in doing things, and there will be trouble."

"That's true," Le Ziyou nodded approvingly, "Since that's the case, since Mu Qing is not here for a few days, we will guard the palace and secretly send someone to monitor that person in case he has any evil intentions. Although he is Mu Qing Qing's benefactor, but we are now in a special period, after all, we must be more careful with strangers."

"Well, what you said is not bad. For the current plan, that's the only way. After all, he is still the benefactor of the prince, and we can't move around at will."

"Ah."

The two looked at each other and nodded one after another.

So in the next few days, Xu Songming secretly sent a lot of hidden guards to lurk near Chaolin Pavilion, watching Ji Fuxin's every move.He also asked the servant who served Ji Fuxin to inform him all the time, and if there was anything wrong, he would notify him first.

But after many days of observation, Ji Fu's heart is very peaceful, except for going out for a walk every day, he just lays on the bed, opens his mouth and stretches his hands, and there is nothing wrong with it.And Ji Fuxin's hand also gradually recovered, and under Doctor Wang's careful care, he was able to hold some lighter objects. For this reason, Doctor Wang was all smiles.

Doctor Wang proposed to let Ji Fuxin learn to walk and see, but Ji Fuxin yawned and refused on the excuse of laziness.This made Dr. Wang dumbfounded, but he was blaming Yan Cangling for turning a good person into a lazy person who didn't care about childbirth.

Day by day, when I thought I could wait for Yan Cangling's return in peace, an unexpected visitor came to Fangcheng, causing everyone in the palace to explode.

Early this morning, Le Ziyou and Xu Songming were in the study, checking the letters from Yan Cangling. It turned out that Yan Cangling had already arrived at the place of exile - near Nanzhou after many days of traveling, and would start robbing people in just a few days.After receiving the news of safety, the two felt as if they had taken a reassurance. The heart that had been hanging for many days slowly fell, but before they fell to the bottom, they heard the servants rushing over, and the people came before they said: "Report—Miss Qingbo is in a hurry to see me!"

Xu Songming and Le Ziyou looked at each other, their eyelids twitched, and their heartbeat suddenly accelerated for no reason, and they immediately waved: "Please!"

Under the leadership of the servants, Qingbo entered the study.She, who usually pays attention to her appearance, was so flustered that she didn't even comb her hair in a steady bun, her hairpin was crooked, and her face was flustered.

Qingbo glanced at her eyes, and after seeing that the servant had closed the door, she immediately took a step forward, made a slight bow, and tried to smooth out the panting voice from rushing over: "My lords, please come inside to talk, my slave Something to say."

"Please." Xu Songming and Le Ziyou winked, spread their right hands flat, and signaled Qingbo to enter the study.

Once in the room, Qingbo took the water from Le Ziyou, poured it down in disregard of etiquette, wiped the water stains on his lips, ignored the chair and said: "I just heard the news that the imperial court's supervisory censor is Come to Fangcheng, and you will arrive in Fangcheng in a short time."

"What!" Le Ziyou said in astonishment, "Didn't the Supervising Censor come here a few months ago? How could he still come!"

"I don't know what's going on," Qingbo rolled up the silk in her hand, forgetting her usual composure, "I just learned this news by accident from a benefactor, and I dare not delay , I have come to inform you.”

Xu Songming touched his chin, his eyebrows twisted into sword flowers: "Who is coming, it will take about a few days to arrive in Fangcheng."

Qingbo shook her head: "I haven't listened carefully yet, so I'll let you guys know and make preparations, and I'll send someone to investigate after I return later."

"Well," Xu Songming turned to Le Ziyou and said, "A certain person will also send someone to find out the news later."

"Okay," Le Ziyou nodded, "Then I'll make preparations first. If the inspector censor really arrives, I'll pretend to be Mu Qing and deal with it." Then he said to Qingbo, "I have to trouble Miss Qingbo for dressing up. Helped."

Qingbo hesitated for a moment, and looked at Le Ziyou with a little hesitation: "It's okay, but I don't know if I should say something."

"You said."

"I heard that Mr. Le can imitate a human voice, but although the appearance of this human voice can be imitated, the temperament cannot be imitated." Qingbo bit her lower lip lightly with her white teeth, "You may as well speak bluntly, and I hope Mr. Le will not be offended. You Even pretending to be a lord, after all, it's a little less imposing. If you have little contact, you're not afraid, but if you have too much contact... the eyes of the supervisory censor are sharp. If it's not good, you will show your feet... …" She didn't dare to say any more, raised her eyes slightly to look at him, and then pulled her eyelids down again.

"Miss Qingbo is right. I might as well say it bluntly, Bo Jin. After all, your momentum is a bit weaker. Hey, wait," Xu Songming raised his hand and said, "Is it the prince's intention to pretend to be someone else?"

Le Zi's eyeballs rolled around, flickering, under Xu Songming's urging, Fang faltered and said: "This is what the benefactor meant. Mu Qing listened to him and asked me to do it."

"What does that young master mean?" Xu Songming raised his eyebrows, "Did the prince ask anything else?"

"He said, if something really happens during his absence, let me discuss it with my benefactor and obey his words. And this pretending to be him was proposed by the benefactor."

After hearing this, Xu Songming frowned: "How could this be? The prince is not a careless person, how could he so easily hand over the affairs of the palace to a stranger, no matter how deep the kindness is, it is not so right."

"Who knows about Mu Qing, but he was dazzled by that young master," Le Ziyou waved his hand snortingly, "When young master asks me to listen to him, Mu Qing agrees without even thinking about it..."

"Wait, you said you want to listen to the young master, did you mention it?" Xu Songming interrupted.

"That's right," Le Zi Youhu asked, "Any questions?"

"Yes, of course, hahaha," Xu Songming laughed loudly, patted Le Ziyou on the shoulder, and nodded at him, "The prince is testing that young master."

"Huh?" Le Zi was stunned.

"This method was proposed by the young master. The prince followed his wishes and asked you to do it. It is a plan for the future. If the young master really has no ill intentions towards the prince and helps the palace escape, it is enough to show that this young master is Standing on the prince's side. If the young master really does something in the chaos, we can take him down and confront him when the prince returns. Therefore, I deeply think that we have to find the young master and have a look at him for our matter today. What will he do to test whether he is sincerely helping the prince, or repaying his kindness with revenge."

"Very good," Le Zi took the palm of his hand, "Then let's go and ask this young man who made Mu Qing admire him, and see what amazing things he can do!"

Afterwards, the three of them entered the Chaolin Pavilion and asked Ji Fuxin about his handling of the supervisory censor.

"Yeah?" Ji Fuxin tilted his head when he saw them, and looked at the two men and one woman in front of him with doubts in his eyes.He has seen Le Ziyou and Xu Songming before, but he has never seen this woman.

Xu Songming took a step forward, cupped his hands and explained to Ji Fuxin: "This is Miss Qingbo, the old bustard of Pinfang Pavilion..."

"Ah!" Ji Fuxin yelled suddenly, subconsciously put his elbows on the bed, and stepped back, his doubtful eyes were immediately stained with a layer of sadness, the change was so fast that Qingbo couldn't react in time.

"Young master, don't be afraid, I don't mean anything malicious." Qingbo pulled out a stiff smile, and stepped forward to try to appease Ji Fuxin, but he yelled again, pulled up the quilt and covered his head, I don't know why he was so scared What.

It was fine just now, but it suddenly changed, which stunned the three people who were trying to communicate with Ji Fuxin. In desperation, Le Ziyou had no choice but to call Dr. Wang over to show Ji Fuxin what was going on. .

As soon as Dr. Wang arrived, seeing Ji Fu's heart had changed back to the original, he was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and stared the three of them back a few steps guiltily, and Fang twirled his beard to feel Ji Fu's pulse.I didn't want to look at it for a long time, but I didn't see anything wrong, which made Doctor Wang even more angry. He shook his beard and said that the young master is a little afraid of life. If the three of you show up together, he is naturally afraid. In addition, there is a shadow on Pinfang Pavilion, and you still let Qing Bo came in, it was to make the young master uncomfortable, and the crackling was to teach the three of them a lesson.The three of them had no choice but to discuss for a while, and decided that the prudent Xu Songming would communicate with Ji Fuxin alone, while Le Ziyou and Qingbo waited outside.

When the door slammed shut, Ji Fu Xinfang poked his head out cautiously. When he saw Xu Songming, he let out a yell, and wanted to put on the quilt again, but when Xu Songming delivered it, his movements stopped suddenly.

"My lord, you don't have to worry anymore, this one doesn't mean anything malicious, you can restrain yourself a little bit." There was something in these words, which seemed to comfort Ji Fuxin, but actually contained a deep meaning.

After hearing this, Ji Fu's body trembled slightly, and he slowly pulled the quilt away. His eyes were like deep sea whirlpools, which made people involuntarily be sucked in.

"Cough..." Xu Songming tilted his head and coughed, put one hand behind his back, and said straight to the point, "Benefactor, we might as well say it bluntly, the palace is facing a difficulty now, and according to the instructions of the prince, we need to ask your opinion. It's like this..." He intentionally distorted Yan Cangling's meaning, wanting to see what kind of weird reaction Ji Fuxin would have, but he didn't want to, Ji Fuxin was indifferent from the beginning to the end, his expression was as usual, and there was no disturbance in his eyes after listening. It's like listening to the soft chirping of birds.

"All in all," Xu Songming said, "the supervisory censor was supposed to supervise the impeachment of all officials, but because the emperor was suspicious, the supervisory censor took on the role of supervisory prince. Whenever he arrived in a town, he would go first. Investigate the character of the prince, and then monitor the local officials. Now the prince is not in the city, if the monitoring censor finds out about this, the prince will be in great trouble. Above, I don’t know what good strategy the young master can have."

Ji Fuxin lowered his eyelids deeply, as if in deep thought, he folded his fingers together, then slowly unraveled them in the order of overlapping, and then intertwined his fingers again.He repeated this movement for a long time, until Xu Songming became impatient. He raised his head, looked directly at Xu Songming, and asked without answering, "Do you believe me?"

Suddenly asked such a sentence, Xu Songming was a little startled, paused for a moment, Fang nodded and said: "I believe."

"Then do as I say." Ji Fu made up his mind.

A few days later, the red sun hung high in the sky, thousands of bright lights made it hard to keep eyes open, and the ground was also steamed with dull heat.A carriage was approaching from far to near, the horse pulling the cart was panting heavily under the pressure of the scorching sun, its ears were drooping, and its four legs were listlessly moving forward.The people in the carriage were also hot and restless, their wide robe sleeves were unceremoniously rolled up to their upper arms, their hems were also lifted up, and they straddled their legs carelessly, holding a wooden fan that they did not know where to get. Fanning lazily.

"Pfft! Let me come all the way here to monitor Yan Wang, bah, monitor the fart! It's almost like killing me on purpose!" The person in the carriage was the supervisor who went to Fangcheng, named Li Jie.Li Jie is a well-deserved villain, he only gained his status by flattery and flattery, he has nothing to do in the palace, only a flattering mouth can get him on the stage.He coaxed the emperor into great joy, and was highly valued by the emperor. Relying on the emperor's favor, his temper became more and more arrogant and domineering.And because he impeaches hundreds of officials, he has great authority, and all officials are afraid of him. Therefore, he often takes bribes in the name of supervision and travels around half of the Huan Dynasty. Every time he patrols, he can earn a lot If he meets an honest and honest official who refuses to bribe, he will, after returning to Beijing, open his mouth and deduct the crime of "corruption" from the official, so that the official will never be able to stand up again.Li Jie's character can be seen at a glance.

The carriage was moving slowly, stuffy and windless, Li Jie was so hot that he picked up a few teapots and poured it into his mouth, but before the sip of tea entered his stomach, he heard a burst of shouts coming from both sides of the road, The sound of rumbling footsteps followed, like thousands of troops approaching in an instant.The horse was frightened, neighed and raised its front legs, shaking the carriage, the teapot in Li Jie's hand was thrown out by the huge shock, and smashed into pieces inside the carriage with a bang.

"Bah! Who disturbed Lao Tzu's carriage!" Li Jie's enthusiasm rushed to the top of his head. He lifted the curtain of the window and looked with his head, ho!Almost jumped out of fear.

Outside the carriage, there was a circle of big men with strong backs and strong waists. Each big man held a shining big knife in his hand. When the scorching sun hit, the big knife body reflected silver light, like the light of death entering the eyeballs. It brought a piercing chill.

It was obviously a summer day in a steamer, but Li Jie was forced by the cold light to feel chills on his back and dripping with cold sweat. He gritted his teeth and hurriedly put down the curtain, leaning forward and urging the driver: "Hurry up, hurry up, drive over!" , hurry up!"

The coachman was also frightened by the momentum of these big men. After hearing this, he raised the whip in his hand with trembling hands. Unexpectedly, the momentum of the whip had not yet fallen, only to see the cold light pass, and in the blink of an eye, a fresh The live horse's head rolled down to the ground, and the blood from the severed head spurted out high, staining the groom's eyes red, and the horse's body tilted to the ground, causing the entire carriage to rattle and shake.

A pair of big hands suddenly grabbed the carriage, with such great strength that it stabilized the shaking carriage. When Li Jie poked his head out, he happened to see the bloody scene of the severed horse's head. He screamed in shock, but the next moment he saw The big man approaching him screamed loudly and was frightened back.

This big man was tall and majestic, with a ferocious face, scattered scars, a face full of sternness, his eyes were stern, and there was a killing intent coming from his body.Li Jie had never seen such a fight before, his teeth were chattering, his feet softened all of a sudden, he sat down on the carriage, and said with trembling fingers: "You..." Before the word "you" fell, he heard the big man "Huh?!" in displeasure, he retracted his finger again in fright, for fear that the big man would break his finger, "What are you trying to do! Let me tell you, I am an official of the imperial court, if you harm me Your life, the Holy One will not be able to bypass you!"

"Your Majesty?!" The big man's voice was as heavy as a mountain, and the exit was full of majesty. The lines of his face loosened, and he laughed loudly, the voice was so loud that the ground shook, "What kind of shit is he, um Say it!" With a big hand, he dragged the thin Li Jie out of the carriage, and lifted a big man off the ground, "What is the Holy One! Tell me!"

Li Jie was so frightened by this big man that he dared to use his identity to suppress others. His throat was choked by the grabbed collar, and he had difficulty breathing. : "My lord...no, my lord...not a thing, not a thing."

"Hahahaha, good one is not a thing, I like to hear that!" The big man was in a happy mood, threw Li Jie to the ground, turned around and glanced at his companions, and laughed loudly with everyone, "The Holy One is not a thing, the Holy One is not Things! You said that!"

"Cough, cough, yes, yes, old... No, no, I said it, I said it." Li Jie held his neck and panted heavily. In order to save his life at the critical moment, he pretended to be his grandson, flatteringly He laughed and said, "My lord, you have a lot of money, and I don't have much money, so just let me go."

"No money?!" The big man bent down and faced Li Jie who was lying on the ground. The sun was shining, and his tall figure almost shrouded Li Jie in his shadow. "I'm here to grab money. You don't have money, so take your life!" With a swipe, the blood-stained knife in his hand slashed across Li Jie's neck——

"Ahhh! I'm rich and I'm rich, the good man spares the life of the good man, spares the life of the good man," Li Jie closed his eyes in fright, listening to the wind of the knife whizzing across his cheeks, his cold sweat was frightened back, be careful Opening a slit in his eyes, seeing the blood on the knife, his face turned pale with shock, and he closed his eyes.

"Have money? Hand it over!" The big man put the knife on his shoulder with one hand, and stretched out his other big palm towards Li Jie.

Li Jie has sharp eyes, and secretly glanced at the big man's hand, trying to see the big man's identity from the big man's hand, but the big man also noticed his small movements, clenched his hand into a fist, and punched Li Jie's eyes with one punch Suddenly, his eyes swelled into a lump: "Are you looking for death! Can you see me too!"

Li Jie was so painful that he folded his eyes and rolled on the ground. He was so frightened that he was so scared that he didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly took out the banknote from his arms and presented it with both hands.

After receiving the banknote from the lower hand, the big man frowned, threw the banknote viciously on the ground, and stepped on it like rubbish, and when he moved his foot away, the banknote actually melted Made ashes!

"With this little money, you want to fool me?! I see that you are living too long!" The big man spat, waved one hand, and slashed at Li Jie's neck with his big knife angrily.

"Ahhh!" Li Jie screamed loudly, wet his pants in no time, lay down on the ground and kowtowed to the big man, "The good man spares his life, the good man spares his life, the villain has no money, this is the only tael left. "

"You!" The big man took a step forward, and wanted to take the knife again, but when he was pressed by his side with both hands, he stopped.
