I was a salted fish in ancient times

After hearing Xiao Shan's words, Xie Zhui was silent for a while.

Regarding Xiao Shan's title, he thought of many possibilities, but he never thought that this title was created by Xiao Shan himself.

But thinking about it, this is really something Xiao Shan can do.The strange thing is that although he never thought about this possibility, when Xiao Shan said it, he felt that he was not surprised at all.

It seems that no matter what surprising things Xiao Shan does, it is normal.

No, there is still one thing Xiao Shan does that makes people feel abnormal, that is, he has thoughts about the throne.

It's a strange but interesting situation. Obviously normal things are abnormal for Xiao Shan, and obviously abnormal things are extremely normal for Xiao Shan.

Not knowing which point hit him, Xie Zhui suddenly laughed.He bent the corners of his eyes, a smile filled his face, and his usually stern face softened, making people who saw it feel like there was starlight falling inside.

Xiao Shan looked at him, and also became happy.

***

There are two things Xiao Yi faces as an adult, one is to go out of the palace to build a mansion, and the other is to establish a concubine.

These are two happy events related to his life. Concubine Shu has been choosing candidates recently, and she just wants to choose the most suitable person for Xiao Yi.

Although marriage is based on the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, Concubine Shu is more open-minded and asked Xiao Yi's opinion on what kind of person she wants to be a concubine in the future.

Xiao Yi didn't hide his thoughts from his mother, he only said that he wanted to find someone with similar interests and feelings.

Xiao Yi likes reciting poems and painting, and his poems and paintings are sought after by others. He naturally hopes that the future princess can have a common language with him, and it will be easier for the two to get along.

His request seemed simple, but it made Concubine Shu very worried.

Women in this world can reach the level of Xiao Yi's poetry and painting, one word: less.

Xiao Yi mentioned this request, but he brushed off many people.

Concubine Shu was anxious, she was afraid that with Xiao Yi's condition, she would be single in the future.

When Concubine Shu was full of sorrow, Xiao Yi's words quickly reached the emperor's ears.

After the emperor heard about it, he went to sit in Concubine Shu's palace. He smiled at Concubine Shu and said, "There is no one who can live a perfect life. Xiao Yi is talented and talented. These are his advantages. But how can you marry a wife?" You can compare the advantages, but if you use these conditions to discuss the matter of marrying a wife, it would seem too lonely. To marry a wife, you must first be virtuous and considerate. Xiao Yi, let him not take his heart too seriously."

Concubine Shu naturally said yes repeatedly.

After the news spread, Xiao Yi never expressed any opinion on the marriage.

Seeing his appearance, Concubine Shu suppressed her thoughts and slowly picked candidates for his concubine.Concubine Shu's idea is that although this candidate may not meet Xiao Yi's requirements, at least he must be satisfied.

After hearing this, Xiao Rong sneered at the Ministry of Justice. He had a lot to say in his heart, but he couldn't find anyone to say it.The officials of the Ministry of Punishment avoided him and Xiao Shan like snakes and scorpions. He was not his confidant, and he couldn't say anything about it. Even if it was mentioned, others would not dare to listen.

Let's talk to his father-in-law Gu Guang, Gu Guang will only make him bear it, until he is full of anger, he will never talk about other men with his wife when he returns to the palace.

Xiao Rong couldn't hold back his words, and finally couldn't help poking Xiao Shan who was lying on the table sleeping, and then he whispered: "Third brother, do you think fourth brother is too arrogant? There are only a few well-known talented women in the capital who come and go, do you think the fourth brother has someone in mind?"

The family background of a famous talented woman is also top-notch, no matter what the purpose of marrying Xiao Yi is, it will be a great help.

Xiao Shan opened his eyes and glanced at him and said slowly: "Brother, I don't know if the fourth brother has someone in mind, but it's very immoral for you, as a prince, to talk about other women at will."

If it gets out, it will always hurt the reputation of those women.

Xiao Rong gave him a blank look: "There is no one else here, so I just told you that you treat the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain."

Apart from other things, he would not do such things as destroying people's reputation, and he still has this bit of character.

If he really fell in love with someone and wanted to bring him into the mansion, then he would come in a fair manner.

Xiao Shan had a different view from him, and he didn't want to say anything more about this matter, so he said lazily: "Father and Concubine Shu have to worry about the fourth brother's affairs, we as brothers just wait for the wedding wine .”

Xiao Rong snorted coldly, thinking of having a wedding wine, who would be in the mood for a wedding wine if there was one more competitor.

Xiao Shan could guess the thoughts in his heart, and he felt that Xiao Rong's thoughts were too backward.They are princes, and they have been rivals from birth, this is destined.

It's just that some people understand their own abilities early on, so they don't have that kind of thought. Some people can't see it, and they want to fight for that position.

Xiao Rong sat back in his seat, looking sullen.He looked at the files on the table with a look of impatience.

In the two days when he first joined the criminal department, he endured the unhappiness in his heart and carefully read the two files.To be honest, some of the dossiers were quite disgusting to look at, not to mention the case-solving aspects, but mainly about the murder methods and the handwriting of the author, he didn't want to eat for a few days after reading it.

He originally wanted to use this matter to disgust Xiao Shan, but Xie Zhui brought Xiao Shan lunch every day. After eating, Xiao Shan was full of energy, could read the file carefully for a long time, and asked him some questions from time to time.

Xiao Shan's behavior made him disgusted.

Gradually, Xiao Rong didn't want to use this method of hurting both sides anymore, he didn't have that kind of thought, and he was too tired.So he and Xiao Shan either flipped through the files or were in a daze silently in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and their lives were quite tormented.

Sometimes Xiao Rong was really bored and went to officials such as Minister of Punishment and Minister of Justice to ask if there was anything he needed help with.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice had a smiling face, and only said that he would help after reading the dossier and understanding the details, and that this was the process.

Xiao Rong only felt that he was not on duty in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but lived in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

If he had known this earlier, he might as well not have taken this position.

Seeing Xiao Rong's gloomy face, Xiao Shan also felt uncomfortable. He slept on the table in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, his hands and feet were numb and his whole body was numb, and he didn't know when the days of mutual torture would end.

Things quickly turned around.

That afternoon, after Xiao Shan finished the lunch brought by Xie Zhui, the emperor ordered Chang Ning to pass him and Xiao Rong into the palace.

The two glanced at each other, both feeling that something was wrong.

After receiving the oral order, when the two walked out slowly, Xiao Shan elbowed Xiao Rong and said in an unusually low voice without moving his lips: "Brother, do you think the emperor summoned us at this time to investigate?" What have we learned in the Ministry of Criminal Justice? Aren't we going to be a gangster when we go there?"

"Don't have a crow's mouth." Xiao Rong's face was very ugly: "Maybe Father hasn't seen us for a long time and missed us."

Xiao Shanya was sour, he squinted at Xiao Rong: "Do you believe this?"

Xiao Rong: "..." He naturally doesn't believe it, but what can he do if he doesn't believe it, he wants to use this to comfort himself, can't he?

If it is really taken by the emperor, it is obviously the rhythm of being scolded.

Thinking of the consequences of angering the emperor, Xiao Rong's heart ached.

"Brother, did the officials from the Ministry of Punishment sue us?" Xiao Shan whispered again after taking two steps.

Xiao Rong is self-willed, and he doesn't listen to other people's advice at all.Hearing what Xiao Shan said at this time, I felt that the officials of the Ministry of Punishment who greeted them with a smile were all wearing a mask.

He hated in his heart, these people must dislike them and speak ill of them to the emperor.

It's just unreasonable, it's so pissed off.

"Otherwise, we'll see Father later, let's act first." Xiao Shan made another crooked idea there.

He has a thick skin, but he doesn't want to be pointed and scolded by the emperor every day. After all, he is a man with a king, and he has been like this, and he has no dignity at all.

"How do you act first? Why did they do something wrong to us?" Xiao Rong glanced at him, his eyes full of suspicion.

He felt that Xiao Shan had never had a good idea in his head, but he also wanted to fight at this time.

Xiao Shan said confidently: "Brother, they are sorry for putting us here and ignoring us. As long as you don't tear down the stage when you see Father, the rest is up to me."

Xiao Rong snorted, thinking that you can perform well, but it is definitely not possible if you don't tear down the stage.He is not as thick-skinned as Xiao Shan, and he still has to maintain his face in front of the emperor.

The two entered the palace to meet the emperor with their own thoughts.

After entering the Qianming Palace, please An salute, Xiao Sheng made the two of them equal, and the first thing he said was: "You two have been in the Ministry of Punishment for a while, how do you feel?"

Is this to ask for guilt?

Xiao Rong and Xiao Shan looked at each other secretly, Xiao Rong pouted his lips, meaning that Xiao Shan should play.

Xiao Shan coughed and said honestly, "Father, don't you feel well?"

Xiao Sheng's face was originally calm, but he immediately cramped when he said these words.

Xiao Sheng narrowed his eyes and said, "What do you mean?"

Xiao Shandao: "Returning to the words of my father, my ministers and elder brother went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, those people gave us all the old files, and didn't tell the ministers anything else, they only said that they would understand the Ministry of Criminal Justice after reading them. The process of handling the case is over. Father, you know that my elder brother and I are really not people who can sit still, but we have carefully studied the next file these days. We stumbled through the study of Liu Xue 20 years ago for power. The wife killing case, and the plague case caused by Zhang Yuntou's rats entering the neighbor's house 15 years ago. The details of the case, the modus operandi, and how it was discovered... The two sons and ministers are all aware of the rest... The two sons and ministers have not yet studied thoroughly. "

Xiao Sheng frowned, looked at Xiao Rong and said, "Is that so?"

Xiao Rong pursed his lips, it was the same result, but some words came out of Xiao Shan's mouth, they seemed to be very proud of reading the two dossiers for so many days.

If Xiao Shan could answer his doubts now, he would say the last sentence, which is nothing more than a statement similar to repeated defeats and repeated defeats.

Xiao Rong said with a face of shame: "Father, what the third younger brother said is that I blame Erchen for being too stupid, and I was a little slow in reading the files."

In fact, Xiao Sheng didn't believe that the two of them would really read the dossier carefully, so he asked about the situation of the two dossiers with a calm face.

This is a question that Xiao Rong and Xiao Shan are good at, and the two answered each other fluently.

Seeing the situation, Xiao Sheng thought that the two of them really put their heart into it, but the officials from the Ministry of Punishment didn't care, so he said with a bad face: "Chang An, immediately go to the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment to see me."

He had to ask Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment what was going on.

Xiao Shan saw that something was wrong, the emperor didn't seem to want to inspect them.

In the next second, Xiao Sheng opened his mouth to confirm his idea.

Xiao Sheng said: "I originally wanted to tell you about Autumn Hunting, but now I am in a good mood."

"Autumn Hunting?" Xiao Shan and Xiao Rong said in unison, their voices were very surprised.Wouldn't it be too early for them to start?The officials of the Ministry of Punishments did not sue them, but they did sue them. I am afraid that they will not be able to get along in the Ministry of Punishment in the future.

Seeing their expressions, Xiao Sheng was quite puzzled: "Why, you don't want to go."

"No." The two spoke at the same time, and then Xiao Shan said with a bitter face: "My son thought that the father wanted to test our achievements in the Ministry of Justice these days, and I was always worried. I didn't expect it to be for the autumn hunting. thing."

"What are you afraid of? It's not your fault that you have learned so little. I will mention this to the officials of the Ministry of Punishment." Xiao Sheng said.

Xiao Shan responded dryly, thinking that this is not a matter at all.

But after thinking about it, he soon became stiff again.

There is nothing wrong with what he said, it is the truth.Those people in the Ministry of Criminal Justice had always been adhering to the mentality that more things are worse than less things, so they released him and Xiao Rong.

Let them read the dossier and say that they will know the process after reading it.

He didn't exaggerate what he said, the only thing he concealed... It doesn't mean that he concealed it, but he didn't mention the two people who were in a daze in the Ministry of punishment these days.

Xiao Rong's face was blue and white at the side, he felt that he was harmed by Xiao Shan.

After a while, the minister of the Ministry of punishment came to listen to the emperor's questioning, and he must know that they were suing.Not to mention whether they would guess them in front of the emperor, as long as these officials knew the consequences of this matter, he wanted to bite Xiao Shan.

Civil and military officials have opposing sides as well as one faction. What they do today will definitely spread to the six departments. No matter which department he goes to take turns at that time, those officials will not bother to talk to him, let alone use it for himself.

Who wants to stay with a prince who can sue?

Xiao Shan had a good plan, and with one sentence, he blocked his way in Liubu.

It was good for him to testify to Xiao Shan in a foolish way.
