Lost Charm

Chapter 34 The Ministry of Punishment

The news about the Fusi of Shangbei Town from the Ministry of Punishment quickly reached the ears of the emperor. At that time, the emperor was discussing political affairs with the cabinet. After hearing this, he looked at Chi Dashi with a look of anticipation, and said, "Does Aiqing know about this?"

Master Chi couldn't figure out the emperor's attitude, so he could only answer along the way: "I have heard a little about the emperor's words."

The emperor smiled and said: "Aiqing can be said to be the victim of the bad thing before. According to what Aiqing saw, how should we deal with this matter?"

Master Chi's back was covered in sweat immediately. Although he had a high position and authority, it was an unspoken rule of the imperial court not to intervene in embroidery affairs. What does the emperor mean by this?

"Ai Qing only comes through channels."

Now that the emperor said so, Master Chi gritted his teeth and said, "In my opinion, this matter should be handled by the Ministry of Punishment."

"Why do you say that?" The emperor became interested and asked.

"Since the pleadings have been handed over to the Ministry of Punishment, it should be tried by the Ministry of Punishment, so that the hearts of the people will be lenient. I heard that Xu Zongqi is a son of the countryside, not from a family of officials. If Xiu Yi investigates, I may be suspected of covering up , it would be best to leave it to the Ministry of Criminal Justice.”

The emperor smiled meaningfully, and was silent for a while before opening his mouth: "What Ai Qing said is absolutely true, then pass on an order to wrong General Xu to sit in the Criminal Department for a few days."

Bachelor Chi's heart skipped a beat, wronged?The emperor said that he wanted to wrong Xu Qin. Could it be that the emperor knew that Xu Qin was innocent and was just... testing himself?He sneaked a trembling glance at the emperor, the other party took a sip of tea, but didn't say anything more on this topic, changed the topic, and talked about political affairs again.

Could it be that he chose the wrong side?

The emperor wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die. The emperor personally ordered his ministers to be imprisoned, even if they embroidered clothes.It is impossible for Xu Qin not to panic, but when he saw the unconcealed uneasiness between Yu Chijiong's brows, he suddenly felt a strange emotion, feeling that no matter how hard it was, he would have to endure it, and he couldn't let Yuchijiong feel the slightest panic. Worry.

In his impression, Yu Chijiong should be full of vigor and high spirits, not frowning like this.

Thinking of this, Xu Qin's heart suddenly calmed down, and his face became calm. He even began to think about how to comfort Yu Chijiong.

However, Meng Yingming smelled something amiss—it was Eunuch Shen who came to send Xu Qin to the Ministry of Punishment, and the other party was very polite, and he didn't seem to escort the prisoner at all.He poured a cup of tea for Eunuch Shen, and handed it along with a bag of silver.

Eunuch Shen smiled even wider, put the silver in his arms, and said: "Let's say something more, the emperor himself said that he has wronged President Xu, so don't worry too much, Fushi Beizhen, the emperor knows in his heart. It's on."

"May I ask Eunuch Shen, what is the emperor's intention for this move?" After all, Yu Chijiong was also a smart person, so he also secretly stuffed Eunuch Shen with a small bag of money.

"Holy will is unpredictable, our family only knows that it is the idea of ​​the Chi family." Eunuch Shen pretended not to care, he is also an old man in the palace, how could he not know about the matter of the Chi family?

Yu Chijiong thanked without changing his face, but Eunuch Shen did not miss the disgust in the other party's eyes.

Seeing that both Meng Yingming and Yu Chijiong had given money to Eunuch Shen, Xu Qin hurriedly searched his pockets imitating the example. Unfortunately, he was new to the officialdom and was not familiar with these things, so he could only find out the broken pieces from the bag. Silver, and the heavy weight of the two cannot be compared.He stared at the pieces of silver in distress. If it's not enough now, does the father-in-law know whether to take it or not?

Xu Qin succeeded in teasing Yu Chijiong's lips, while Meng Yingming gave him a look of foolishness, and Eunuch Shen received the money from the governor and Qianhu, and immediately knew that Xu Qin was closely guarded by these two people, so he Selling favors to Xu Qin: "Our family is waiting outside first, please Yuchi Qianhu seize the opportunity to ask Xu Zongqi for important matters."

"Jong thanked Eunuch Shen first here, it won't be long, just give him a word or two." Yuchi Jiong accepted the favor.

"Forgive our family for talking too much, who is my brother?"

"Eunuch Shen didn't know that Jong had met Xu Zongqi before he won the championship. It was fortunate that Xu Zongqi rescued him at that time. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was Jiong's savior. This reunion is very exciting. Fate, I have made obeisance to President Xu recently." Yu Chijiong suddenly revealed this matter, further implying that he has a very close relationship with Xu Qin, and more importantly, Eunuch Shen also knows what the obeisance to the embroidered clothes is. mean.

Eunuch Shen's face remained unchanged, but his heart was turbulent. No wonder there were rumors of male pets, they were a couple at all!He thought for a while, and quickly came up with a countermeasure, adjusted his mentality, and said: "Please rest assured Yuchi Qianhu, our family will definitely give some advice to the Ministry of Punishment."

"Thank you, Eunuch Shen." Yu Chi smiled and watched Meng Yingming and Eunuch Shen leave the room.

Here Xu Qin couldn't help but blushed, and his ears were also red. He never thought that Yu Chijiong would talk about this in front of him, and he hadn't figured out what to do.

Seeing Xu Qin's flushed face, Yu Chijiong understood, and said in a low voice, "Ji Hai, do you know?"

Xu Qin didn't dare to look at Yu Chijiong, looked at the floor and hesitated, "Qu, Master Qu... I mentioned it to me."

Yuchi Jiongjun's face froze slightly, he originally planned to take his time, Xu Qin and his monster adoptive father lived an isolated life in the mountains and forests, so he must have never heard of this.But Qu Moao revealed everything, the child must have been terrified, Yu Chijiong was secretly annoyed at what Master did to spoil him, and there was a trace of bitterness in his heart—Xu Qin didn't even look at himself now, he must be trying to avoid him. Femme fatale?

"Sorry, Xu Qin, I scared you, you don't have to take it to heart." Yu Chijiong said softly, the faint tone concealed the desolation in his heart.

Xu Qin froze on the spot, raised his eyes subconsciously, and saw Yu Chijiong staring at him seriously, his black silk eyes were gentle, no different from usual.But because of this, his chest was so stuffy and painful, as if a huge rock had been pressed down on his heart, making him unable to breathe.

He doesn't like this look.

Yu Chijiong no longer called him Ji Hai, but privately called him Xu Qin.

He doesn't want to be like this.

After finally getting used to the closeness of the other party, now it is going back to the original alienation.

he does not want.

Yuchi Jiong saw Xu Qin muttering something to himself blankly, but couldn't hear what he said, so he had no choice but to ask: "What's wrong?"

Xu Qin opened his mouth, tried a few times before recovering his voice, and said, "I don't want it."

Once the words are spoken, the rest will be smooth, Xu Qin continued: "I have already regarded you as a brother, you can't just be inappropriate if you don't want to be like this."

Yuchi Jiong's heart tightened, and he cautiously said in a hoarse voice: "Xu Qin, do you know what you're talking about?"

Xu Qin said seriously: "I know. I don't know if I like you, but Master Qu said yes, so you can't just run away like this."

It turned out that the master was not here to do bad things but to assist. He used his toes to guess that the master had fooled Xu Qin, and this kid was stupidly fooled.Yuchi Jiong was so happy that his voice trembled unconsciously, and said, "Ji Hai...I'm so happy."

It doesn't matter if he is happy or not, as long as Xu Qin approves him to stay by his side, he doesn't believe that he can abduct him.

Xu Qin saw that Yu Chijiong's eyes were filled with unbelief, and he said unhappily: "I still understand these things. When the adoptive father sold the chickens in the vegetable market, a hunter paid double the price, and the adoptive father refused. Later, the adoptive father refused. My father said that the man wanted to please me and live with me."

Yu Chijiong was dumbfounded by Xu Qin's words, but he still coaxed: "Does Ji Hai know what brother wants you to do?"

Xu Qin answered naturally, "Live your life."

"Well, that's right." Yu Chijiu praised against his will, and turned the topic back to the business, "You must be careful in everything at the Criminal Department, even if you are tortured, you must grit your teeth and don't admit it, otherwise you will never come out again. "

"I know."

"Don't worry, I will rescue you as soon as possible." Yu Chijiong took Xu Qin's hand, and passed his own warmth to the other party.

"I will resist." Xu Qin said seriously.

Yuchi Jiong stared at Xu Qin for a while, and then he was reluctant to let him go: "Okay, let's go."

He personally sent people out of Beizhen Fusi, watching Xu Qin's figure getting farther and farther away, the warmth in his eyes gradually faded, and in the end there was only ice-like coldness left.

It doesn't matter if you attack him, but if you dare to attack his Ji Hai, don't blame him for being rude.

It was already night when College Student Chi returned from the palace, and just as he entered the house, the housekeeper had already told him that Third Young Master had broken his right leg.

"It's fine, why is it like this?"

"No, master. The third young master fell down from... the bed during his afternoon nap and accidentally injured his leg. After seeing it, the doctor said that he can just rest."

Can this also break a leg?Master Chi's face twisted, thinking that Chi's mansion was really unlucky these days.

"Serve the third young master well, I'm going to the study, you don't have to follow me."

Master Chi walked quickly to the study room, intending to write a memorial for what he had just thought of on the way back home, but when the oil lamp was turned on, a very familiar figure was sitting in his seat, looking at him expressionlessly.

"Unfilial son, what is this for!" Chi Dashi was so frightened that his heartbeat almost stopped, and he couldn't help but curse.

That person is none other than Yuchi Jiong.Rarely, he didn't address the three characters "unfilial son", reminding the other party that his surname is Yuchi, but instead said: "This time it's just the right foot, next time it's the left leg."

The implication in the words, Master Chi gasped, and cursed angrily, "That's your own brother! For the sake of a male favorite, you actually attacked your relatives!"

Yu Chijiong smiled instead of anger: "Xu Qin is my savior, if it wasn't for him, I would have died before I got the crown! Master Chi is so majestic, he fully demonstrated the 'revenge for kindness'."

Don't think that he can't see through the little slack in Chi Daxue's heart, so he just wants to use Xu Qin to force him to recognize his ancestors and return to his clan?As long as he comes back, Xu Qin can leave the Ministry of Punishment. As long as the Grand Scholar says a word, the Ministry of Punishment dare not let him go?

Master Chi was not confused, but he only recognized his son.But has he ever thought that the Chi family has already produced a bachelor, so the emperor will allow the Chi family to have a thousand more households, a family with both civil and military skills?

Wei Chijiong could see this clearly, but the Grand Scholar couldn't.

"It's the national teacher who made you go! I asked the mage to calculate it. You don't have the so-called restraining your wife's life at all. You are all about those people!"

Yu Chijiong didn't believe his nonsense at all, instead he said: "Eunuch Shen took Xu Qin away."

Master Chi stared at him with wide eyes. Eunuch Shen is a celebrity in front of the emperor, so there is no reason to send him off.

Yu Chijiong stood up, walked out of the study past Master Chi, and made another knife: "Regarding this matter, Xiuyi has never received any news."

Master Chi's body went limp, and he fell to the ground, allowing Yu Chijiong to disappear into the night.

This incident came suddenly, and he was just sailing with the current. He embroidered clothes to monitor the officials and the royal family, and there was basically no secret that could not be found out. The one above them.
