Lost Charm

Chapter 33

"After the soul is released, they will wake up?" Yu Chijiong asked.

"Yes, come now?" Qu Moao was very sure of this.

"Of course it's best to have the master look at it, so I'll trouble the master." Yu Chijiong was worrying about how to persuade Qu Mo Ao to help, and it would be best if the other party took the initiative to ask.

At this moment, Qu Moao paused, as if remembering something, and said, "Zi Xi, you just said that Master Chi was captured?"

"That's right."

"Where did you find it?"

"The newly entered Tanhua Wei Jian's house, I have already committed suicide."

Qu Moao pondered for a while, and decided to hand over the hot potato to Sun Lie: "Go to the palace immediately and throw something to Sun Lie, and tell him to make it grand so that the stone can be broken. This matter involves important cabinet ministers and Hanlin officials. Bachelor, I’m afraid it’s not that simple. If you hand it over to the owner of a tea shop, you’re afraid you’ll get into trouble, and Sun Lie will act in the name of the national teacher, at least he can stop other people’s mouths.”

He Tong interjected at this moment: "It's that old fox who doesn't want to talk to you, and insists on us looking for you."

Qu Moao snorted coldly when he heard this, his cold voice was full of mockery: "He must take care of this matter, tell him 'he has disappeared', tell him to drink less and not be so lazy, and hurry up."

Yu Chijiong didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Qu Moao's gourd, but he might as well be an errand messenger, the most urgent thing now is for Chi's father and son to wake up, put the rest first, and investigate later.

"Tell Sun Lie that after the matter is completed, present all those stones to the emperor, and don't keep them privately." Qu Moao pointed out: "A mere Tanhua would never make such an exquisite chess piece, there must be someone behind him to help. He ended it on his own for no reason, then someone must have forced him to death. As for entering the palace, Zixi and Xu Qin can do it, and it’s safer for Vice He Qianhu to keep an eye on the Wei residence.”

"Xiao Qinqin can come with me, and the two of us will inspect the Wei Mansion again." He Tong said immediately.

"No, Xu Qin is the son of an old friend. Only when he is in Sun Lie can he do things quickly. It's a pity that it's not safe for him to become an official alone, otherwise Zixi can join you." Qu Moao is the one who knows Sun Lie best among them. What I said should be right.

The three said goodbye to Qu Moao, and then went their separate ways.

Just as Qu Moao expected, when he heard that Xu Qin had come to the Fangxun Pavilion, before Yu Chijiong's chair was warmed up, he saw a fiery figure appearing in the distance.Sun Lie was still reeking of alcohol, but when he heard Qu Moao's words "he has disappeared", those charming eyes burst out with complex emotions such as ecstasy, loneliness and sadness, but soon returned to the original look.

"Since your master said so, I will help you this time." Sun Lie took the box of stones, opened it for a look, then turned his head to the boy behind him and said, "Please ask the imperial doctor to go to the emperor to get blood. It is said that the matter of Chi Dashi is already in sight, and a drop of dragon blood with the most yang energy is needed to break the situation."

Xu Qin and Yu Chijiong couldn't help but look at each other in blank dismay, do they need to be so grand?

"Okay, Ji Hai and Zixi go back first, no one else can be present for the next thing." Sun Lie gave the guest order with a smile.

Anyway, the goal has been achieved, Yu Chijiong didn't care about Sun Lie's pretending to be a ghost, and handed Wei Jian's suicide note to the other party, implying that after he presented the letter and the stone to the emperor, he left with Xu Qin.

Three hours later, news came from Chi's residence, and the Chi family's father and son woke up.

Master Chi heard that the emperor offered blood to help, and regardless of his weakness, he immediately went to the palace to thank the emperor for his kindness, and staged a scene of deep affection between the emperor and his subjects, which was loved by the people of the time.

However, people in the capital only talk about happy events and not trivial matters. Wei Jian attempted to murder a senior scholar, and then committed suicide in fear of crime, which aroused Long Yan's fury. The method of using the non-mountain soul stone, right now they only know the method of cracking the soul stone, but they don't know how to apply Ruguhun, so it is not appropriate to punish them at this moment.The emperor thought about it and found it reasonable, so he temporarily let the Wei clan members go, and ordered Sun Lie to lead the underworld to find out the method to use as soon as possible.

Yu Chijiong is really suffering. On the one hand, he wants to investigate the unknown monster who has shown favor to Xu Qin, and on the other hand, he wants to catch the person behind Wei Jian. Now, the usage of a soul stone is suppressed from above. Qian Jiguang is recuperating due to injury. With the few of them left, three heads and six arms are not enough.

The matter of Wei Jian finally announced his death from a sudden illness to the outside world. The emperor cherished his talent and specially announced that members of the Wei clan would go to Beijing to take care of his funeral.But to deceive the people, you can't hide it from all the officials. Of course they don't know the most secret thing, but when they heard that it was Wei Jian who murdered Master Chi, they were all in disbelief, and they all believed that this was an overt conspiracy by Xiu Yi to attack them.

Xu Qin couldn't care about what the officials thought, he was busy with Yu Chijiong, training swords at dawn, investigating cases and approving entry applications during the day, and endorsing books at night, he didn't even have time to pay attention to the prayer beads on his wrist.

However, just because you ignore some things doesn't mean they won't come to you. Just when Xu Qin almost forgot about the Chi Mansion incident, an old woman knocked on the door of the Criminal Department.

"Embroidered clothes for personal gain, indulged male favorites to harm the officials of the court, the real grievances are not shallow, Caomin Wang is willing to be Dou'e, in exchange for his life in June Feishuang, just to see the blue sky."

That person was none other than Wei Jian's cook, Aunt Wang.

Her pleadings pointed directly at Yu Chijiong for allowing his male favorite Xu Qin to force Wei Jian to death. Although logically speaking, there were many mistakes and omissions, but the Ministry of Punishment fell into deep thought when it saw one of the above sentences.

Xu Qin had met Wei Jian before.

A male pet with embroidered clothes would actually have dinner with a Hanlin scholar?If there is a problem, there must be a problem. Thinking about the matter of Chi Dashi's coma, the eyes of the officials of the criminal department flashed with excitement, check!This matter must be investigated!

When Chi Sanshao heard about it, he felt that the incident was not big enough, so he took the initiative to intervene, saying that Xu Qin was not related to them at all, which meant to admit that Xu Qin was a male favourite.The Ministry of Punishment determined that Chi Sanshao's move must have been instructed by Chi Dashi, and he wanted to please him, so he immediately found people to surround Yuchi's mansion.

This day Xu Qin had just stepped out of Yuchi's mansion, and the officials of the Ministry of Punishment immediately stopped him.

"The servant of the Ministry of Punishment actually visited Yuchi's mansion. Is this going to change?" Yuchi Jiong turned to protect Xu Qin behind him. The third-rank official didn't stay well with the torturer. He blocked the door early in the morning. It was obvious that he was coming. Those who are not good.

Although the servant of the Ministry of Justice was being ridiculed, the smile on his face remained undiminished, he explained the ins and outs, and finally said: "...For this reason, I would like to invite Xu Qin to the Ministry of Justice to assist in the investigation."

His words were very polite, but his behavior was not polite at all. It could be seen that they had to take Xu Qin away.

The smile on Xu Qin's face disappeared, and he looked at the servant of the Ministry of Punishment with a bit of coldness in his eyes. He has already been labeled as an embroidered clothes. Life.

If the beating is successful, then the examiner who presided over the imperial examination this year's hand-picked Wei Jian will lose face, and Wei Jian's reputation before his death can be wiped away, and even Xiuyi and Chi Dashi can be hit, which can be said to kill four birds with one stone. got it.

Yu Chijiong believed his words only when he had a brain hole, and said coldly, "When did the Ministry of Punishment arrest people randomly based on one-sided words?"

Xu Qin didn't speak, he secretly glanced at Yu Chijiong, this feeling of being stalked...not bad, it warms his heart.

The servant of the Ministry of Punishment remained unchanged, and replied: "It's not that Xu Qin is a criminal, but just assisting in the investigation."

In Yu Chijiong's eyes, Xu Qin's entry into the Ministry of Punishment is equivalent to sending a sheep into the mouth of a tiger, and this is definitely not to assist in the investigation, but to go directly to the prison, so he never let go: "Can't you see the embroidered clothes on his body? The Ministry of Punishment can actually Arbitrarily imprisoning Xiuyi?"

Disdain flashed in the eyes of the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, and he said: "The body of a male favorite is actually in the ranks of embroidered clothes. I will definitely report this to the emperor."

With a wave of his cuffs, the surrounding subordinates immediately knew how to surround Yu Chijiong and Xu Qin. Since they couldn't say anything, they had no choice but to use force.

"Bastard!" Yu Chijiong couldn't help yelling at him, even if he was a third-rank official, he wouldn't pay attention to him.If a mere servant of the Ministry of Punishment dared to do this, someone must have given him courage.

"Yuchi Qianhu, pay attention to your words!" The servant of the Ministry of punishment has never been scolded like this before.

Yu Chijiong sneered, he was protecting Xu Qin, what can he do with him?He decisively pretended to attack the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, those subordinates naturally retreated to protect, Yu Chijiong took the opportunity to grab Xu Qin's hand, broke out and fled.

"What are you doing standing there! Still not catching up?"

Yu Chijiong and Xu Qin matched their lip-synchs while running, and smiled knowingly, and sure enough they were together—there is no place for torture, only the Beizhen Fusi of Xiuyi Concentration Camp.

Those from the Ministry of Justice couldn't catch up with the two of them, so they could only watch them hide in Beizhen Fusi, and the cooked duck flew away like this, all of them were bearded and staring with anger.

"This matter will not be left as it is." The minister of the criminal department lowered his face after hearing the report from his subordinates, "Since you don't drink as a respect for your crime, then you can only eat fine wine."

And in Beizhen Fusi, Yu Chijiong's face was not much better, he led Xu Qin straight to Meng Yingming, and asked at the first sentence: "Why didn't you receive the message before?"

Meng Yingming frowned after hearing the whole story. Recently, not only the underworld, but even the ordinary embroidered clothes have been too busy. Before that, Zhu Yan appeared in the human world, implying that there will be a war in Daliang. When the battle report came, the emperor secretly ordered Beizhen Fusi to send people to the front to collect military information.There are fewer subordinates, and he still has to take care of Qian Jiguang. It's no wonder Meng Yingming is free.

"This matter is indeed suspected of dereliction of duty. Don't worry, President Xu, I will definitely give you an explanation." Meng Yingming made a promise to Xu Qin. After all, this is not the matter of Xu Qin alone. It is clearly through Xu Qin. Pick something for the embroidered clothes.

In the Fangxun Pavilion in the Forbidden City, it was rare for Sun Lie not to drink today. He stood in the pavilion and let the strong wind blow his red sleeves. He absently touched the cocked hairs on Ning Baihu's head, and murmured: " ...Look, it's windy."

Ning Baihu yelled twice and looked at Sun Lie half understanding.

Sun Lie was amused by Ning Baihu, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was clearly a wry smile.
