Qingzhou trip

Split the firewood, and boil half a pot of hot water.Sprinkling a handful of rice in his hand, the clear soup with little water was aroused and Didi sighed.Xie Penglai stared at the rice jar that was about to bottom out, and simply poured in the last bit of round rice grains that covered the bottom.

Sit in front of the stove and light the fire, blow on it, and sparks flutter in the air.After blowing twice, the tongue of fire shook his waist and stood at attention quietly.She pinched a broken cattail fan to fan the wind, and the raccoon cat, which was hiding by the stove, jumped straight away in the cold.

"Sparse firewood is cold——" Looking up at the snow that has not stopped, Xie Penglai continued, "The snow is white in the evening." Looking at the cat again, "Can you answer the following two sentences?"

After being ignored, she continued to shake the cattail fan, "Scattered raccoon clothes, a few grains of broken sorghum. Wait, there is still a while." After finishing speaking, she picked up a book with the other hand and began to read.

After Yun Bailu returned to Sand Sea, Xie Penglai gradually couldn't make ends meet.After Zhao Yifang dragged her around and ate, Xie Penglai had very little money left.Coupled with the fact that Kong Xian, who has a big belly, comes to the tooth festival from time to time, Xie Penglai has almost reached the point where he can't get rid of the pot.There are still two days to wait for next month's salary. In these two days, let's eat porridge like Fan Xiwen, who is famous all over the world.

After talking with King Jin, Xie Penglai felt much more at ease.Although the northern food in the Wangfu is delicious, but the sorghum porridge I eat is reassuring.After the porridge was cooked, she first served a small bowl for the raccoon cat to cool down, and she also brought a bowl to sit in front of the stove to drink slowly.But her eyes never forget to stare at the book in her hand——During the renovation of Shahai Academy, she and Yun Bailu were the only ones who could borrow books.

Resting for a bath today, she hadn't gone to the palace to give lectures for several days, and it was rare for her to spend a day peacefully reading in the courtyard.As for the arsonist who was being chased, Xie Penglai hoped that this person would be smart and escape quickly while she was busy these days.Not for anything else, just because he used the fire-lacquered copper gourd that Lu Jinfang's subordinates must have.

After finding out that the arson suspect used this thing, she searched the city for people, even if it was just to make a noise, she had to make enough appearances for everyone, especially Zhao Yifang to see.On the other hand, after working hard, Yue Niang went out of the city to report to Lu Jinfang that someone under her might have escaped and made trouble.You must know that Lu Jinhua and the others have always only sought out Beixia people to rob, and it is absolutely impossible for them to push their ideas into the sea of ​​sand.

The county magistrate of Shahai has two accounts in his hand, one is clear to the court and the common people, and the other only needs to be checked with Lu Jinhua.

After eating a bowl of porridge, she warmed up a bit, and she greeted Li Huamao, "Your ones are getting cold, eat quickly." Picking up the pages of the book with her fingertips, Xie Penglai leaned back against the earthen wall, remembering that her thick new clothes were still warm. King Jin had someone bring it to him, and he sat up straight again in distress, reaching out his hand to wipe off the dust on it.

That day King Jin sent someone to deliver half of the house's food and clothing, but Xie Penglai refused repeatedly in fear, and finally only accepted the clothes.Being a person depends on it, and keeping out the cold depends on it.

While patting the ashes, Yun Bailu had already pushed open the door of the courtyard and stepped in quickly. There was still steam in a pot, and without a word, he took a bowl and was about to serve it for himself.After lifting the lid of the pot, she was dumbfounded, "That's all?" Before Xie Penglai could answer, she hastily filled half a bowl and started drinking it, "I've been so busy today that I haven't eaten yet, but I'm hungry .”

After we finished eating, we got down to business, "When Prince Jin and I went to Flower Lane, we met a suspicious-looking Uighur. I didn't expect it to be Liu Qinsang's good friend."

Xie Penglai immediately closed the book and stood up, "Where is the person?"

"They're all in Washeri, crying and begging His Highness to bypass her elder brother." Yun Bailu said while busy serving the second bowl, ignoring Xie Penglai's face change, "What else do you ask?"

"What else? I hid my lover in the house for ten days, just to avoid being searched and arrested in the city. It is said that this person played the "Xi Liang Opera" that night, because I don't know why the government wanted to arrest the performer, and I was shocked I had no choice but to hide." Yun Bailu raised his face from the mouth of the bowl, "King Jin said, it's up to you to ask about this matter."

Xie Penglai pondered for a moment, "I should be responsible."

"It's not a matter of taking responsibility or not, my teacher Xie." Yun Bailu wiped his mouth, "I still don't understand? Our King Jin just detained him in Washe but not in the county government. Why is that? Aren’t you trying to save face as the magistrate of yours? Could it be that you’re going to make a fuss and let people know that you haven’t caught a single fly after ten days of searching, and that she’s the suspect if she just caught a fly in the flower alley?”

These words made Xie Penglai even more ashamed. She did send people to search Huaxiang, but the people from the county government came to report that Liu Qinsang's room just slipped by the door. The face of a popular trickster.

So Xie Penglai, who turned a blind eye, responded vaguely.But at this moment, everyone was brought up, and she had to meet in person. "I'll go to Huaxiang first." After she finished speaking, she went straight to Huaxiang, and Yun Bailu shouted from behind, "I won't go, Yue—" Yueniang didn't wait for her, but she still wanted to go to Yueniang's place .

Liu Qinsang opened his throat and the lingering sound lingered for three days, and when he plucked the strings, he washed the hearts of the guests and made people feel that the stars were sinking and the moon was hidden.But when her pear blossoms were raining, the two strong men, five and six in a row, were all moved. They secretly turned to Jin Wang, who had a watery face, and waited for her to deal with her, only hoping that it would be lighter.

Jin Wang only asked Yun Bailu to call Xie County Magistrate to deal with the matter.When Xie Penglai's figure appeared in front of the door, the corners of King Jin's eyes twitched, and then he just nodded and pointed at the pair of mandarin ducks and said, "Xie County magistrate will come to interrogate."

However, Xie Penglai took out the booklet brought out from the county government, "The population of Huaxiang is recorded in the booklet, and the next official has been checked by people outside." Looking at the Uighur with a serious face, he asked the name of the place where he lived. match.He also brought a Qiang flute and ordered him to play "Xiliang Opera", which was exactly the same as the flute sound on the night of the Rewarding God Festival.

The Yamen servant came to report that the residence of the Uighur was searched several times, but nothing suspicious was found.

Xie Penglai then asked King Jin, "I'm afraid it's because of cowardice that I dared not come forward to admit the matter earlier. There may be other people who set the fire. I suggest that these two people... according to the law of my court, I will stick three times." , to serve as an example to others." Her eyes fell on King Jin's white fingers, she squeezed the jade peacock on her waist with a little force, thought for a while, then raised her head and smiled sassyly at Xie Penglai, "Xie County Magistrate judged It's fair, let's do it like this." She looked at Liu Qinsang pitifully, "Miss Liu is weak, I don't know..."

"Although I delayed the official affairs of the yamen, it was not intentional, and it was my first offence. I can get rid of these three sticks first, and change my sentence to half a day in prison." Xie Penglai felt a smile in King Jin's eyes, "Your Highness...do you think?"

"Then let's do it this way." Zhao Yifang looked at Liu Qinsang, "Although you and I make friends with each other with the qin, the laws of the country are like mountains, and this king cannot favor one's own interests." Penglai, "There is the magistrate of Laoxie."

Even though the smile was still on her face, Xie Penglai had already sensed that Zhao Yifang was angry, his eyes seemed to see through her with uncertain depths, and seemed to be looking at her hesitantly.

Zhao Yifang didn't look back at her when she left Washe, but she tripped over the threshold when she was walking in a hurry, and was held up by Ren Wu when she almost fell, but she didn't stop because of this.After getting on the horse, she whipped and shouted angrily, "Let's go!"

The horse's horse hoofed hurriedly and led her to the mansion.After passing through an alley, she reined in her horse and rushed back to Huaxiang. Xie Penglai was escorting people back to the county government office, and she was stunned when she saw Zhao Yifang kill and return to the carbine.

"Get on the horse." Zhao Yifang signaled Ren Liu to lead the horse for Xie Penglai.

Xie Penglai took the whip hesitantly, mounted the horse and followed Zhao Yifang, "Your Highness, where are you going?"

Zhao Yifang didn't speak, but whipped Xie Penglai's mount, "Let's go!"

The sea of ​​sand is too small, and the horseshoes have not yet run hot and arrived at the gate of the palace.After Zhao Yifang got off her horse, she walked quickly into the mansion, Xie Penglai could only shut up and follow, but her heart was beating all the time.When the two walked through the corridor one after the other, Zhao Yifang suddenly turned her head and bumped into Xie Penglai.Xie Penglai was about to help her when he saw King Jin's eyes were red.Her heart suddenly panicked, "Your Highness?"

"Why didn't you think of changing the prison when you were in charge of me?" Zhao Yifang stared at Xie Penglai, the nerd was stunned, "It's because I didn't expect it well, Your Highness, please punish me."

"It won't wait until today to punish the crime." Zhao Yifang kicked the pillars of the corridor fiercely, and then grinned from the pain. She endured it again and again, and finally cursed, "Xie Penglai, you don't care if you don't like me or you are afraid of me." , but you can’t fool me—a few days ago you sealed off the city to check how tight the people were, and the northwest wind at the city gate did not drink less. Why, the suspect is right in front of you, but you let it go without knowing it. My lord It’s true that it’s convenient for you, but you—”

She could have held back these words, sitting on the Diaoyutai like she did in Beijing, watching the opponent's way before making a decision.But the opposite was Xie Penglai, the more she couldn't see clearly, the more anxious she got angry, "You always have to explain your intentions to me before you are sentenced, why are you still climbing up?"

She was still very angry, angry that she only kept her clothes and returned other things, angry that she hadn't come to the mansion for a few days.

"Also, even if I say that you don't need to teach these days, are you really leaving the students aside?" Zhao Yifang's prestige began to fall apart when Xie Penglai appeared, "Xie Penglai—" Her lips trembled After a few pauses, he suppressed the rest of his words, "Forget it, you and I don't want to have any confidantes on the same road, and we have traveled through the three states. You should still be my king, just a playful person who was expelled from the capital, and you have been ignorant for a few years. Go back again."
