It was almost noon when Qi Xiao returned to the Tong Guild Hall, and he wanted to see Tang Ling as soon as he got home, but when he arrived at the Tong Guild Hall, he still made the coachman turn around and go back to the side entrance of Yangxi Zhai.

When Yang Xizhai's attendants knew that Qi Xiao came back, they hurried away, serving Qi Xiao to take a shower and have lunch.

"Master, we have a visitor."

Qi Xiao stepped into the inner courtyard of Yangxi Zhai and asked, "At this time? Who?"

"Young Master Tang."

Qi Xiao couldn't help laughing, he waved his hand to signal the guards to leave the inner courtyard, and his pace involuntarily became faster.

In the side hall, Tang Ling was holding a scroll in one hand and a teacup in the other, waiting quietly, just like in Huaxi other courtyard.

Sunlight poured in from the wide-open window, covering Tang Ling with a light halo, blurring his outline, and the quieter he was, the more unreal he became.

When he first met Tang Ling, the moment he raised his eyes, what Qi Xiao saw was a cold and noble young man, his eyes were clean and innocent, as if he didn't look down on him at all, which made Qi Xiao want to bully him.

Now... Qi Xiao was still full of hostility when he came back, but it dissipated the moment he saw Tang Ling, his brows relaxed, and he was overjoyed.

Qi Xiao's footsteps were too soft for Tang Ling to hear. He didn't raise his head until everyone was in front of him, covering most of the sunlight, and looked at Qi Xiao with a gentle smile.

"came back."

Tang Ling put down the teacup and scroll together, stood up and faced Qi Xiao.

"Wait for a long time?"

"You didn't come back all night, so I came to look for you."

Tang Ling smiled and approached Qi Xiao in two steps.

Qi Xiao took half a step back: "I stayed in the prison of Dali Temple overnight, and my body smelled of blood."

Tang Ling smiled, leaned close to Qi Xiao and almost pressed into his arms, raised her hand to stroke his cheek lightly, and said softly, "I have been by my father's side for ten years, so I am not so delicate."

Looking at Tang Ling's gentle smile, Qi Xiao almost forgot that the person in front of him had fought with Lu Fang on the banks of the Taihua River for several months, and had seen mountains of corpses and seas of blood, how could he be afraid of the bloody smell on Qi Xiao's body.

Qi Xiao couldn't help but lowered his head slightly to kiss Tang Ling, put his arms around his waist, and hugged him tightly.

"Why don't you wait for me in your own yard? What if I just pass by?"

Tang Ling leaned against Qi Xiao's neck and smiled, "Do you still remember the last time you didn't come home overnight? It was just a few days ago.

How can you come to see me if you don't clean up? "

Qi Xiao lightly bit Tang Ling's neck: "Since you know me so well, you'll just wait for me in Huaxi Bieyuan. Why do you come here? You want to see me so anxiously?"

Tang Ling avoided Qi Xiao's "smart teeth", held his face in her hands, stared into his eyes, opened her mouth, her voice was as soft as a faint breeze: "Yes, I want to see you."

Qi Xiao hugged the person in his arms tighter: "Don't worry about me."

Originally, Tang Ling wasn't too worried, Qi Xiao was no less thoughtful than him, and investigating the case would not be a problem for him.

Although this case is said to be a "flying disaster", in Qi Xiao's hands, it may be possible to clear the clouds and reveal the truth.

But Qi Xiao checked too quickly. Yesterday, the Wudu Prefecture took criminals in Dongshi, and this morning, the Gyeonggi Metropolitan Government seized several gambling shops in the city, and locked the criminals and sent them to the Gyeonggi Metropolitan Government. String together, that scene is simply a parade.

There is no need for Xing Luowei to investigate anything, everyone in Yuanjing already knows about it.

Such a vigorous and resolute action might lead to trouble, and it was impossible for Tang Ling not to worry about it.

Luo Yu of Dali Temple was murdered in his mansion, such a case was definitely not the work of some bandits, it must be related to other things, the more the investigation, the more implicated.

If Qi Xiao hadn't been involved in it, Tang Ling would have enjoyed watching such a good show, which was even more lively than the Mid-Autumn Festival fair.

His Majesty sent Qi Xiao to cooperate with Pei Hao to handle the case. On the surface, he intended to train Qi Xiao, and also showed His Majesty's attitude that this case must be investigated and will not be tolerated.

The people behind the scenes must try to obstruct and find a scapegoat to close the case. Cao Weishan is caught in the middle. He has been neutral for many years. After coming out, his official career was ruined, so he could only hug Pei Hao's thigh tightly.

As the Minister of Dali Temple, Pei Hao's reputation of loyalty is known throughout the court, and he has offended countless people.

His Majesty secretly has another meaning, which is to support Cao Weishan and Pei Hao, and let Qi Xiao be a favor by the way. As long as he completes this case, he will save Cao Weishan and Pei Hao, and the ministers in the court who do not like to form a party will also be at ease. Taking a high look at him, in the capital city of Yuan, and in the court hall, His Highness Ninth Prince Qi Xiao is no longer an unknown person.

This is to push Qi Xiao to the forefront.

Ever since the hunt in Baiyan Mountain, Qi Xiao has never been hiding. When the fifth and seventh princes met, he made jokes and made jokes.

The investigation of Luo Yu's case was even more straightforward, without the slightest intention of procrastinating. He went in and out of the Capital Protector's Mansion and Dali Temple, and set off fireworks in the Luo Mansion in the middle of the night.

It is to let people see that Qi Xiao is not afraid of disturbing the water.

The more capable he was, the more he was in the limelight, the more he suppressed the other three, and he didn't even give him the chance to try and win him over. Such arrogance left no room for himself at all.

Seeing Tang Ling's gloomy expression, Qi Xiao comforted him: "This case can only be cut quickly, if it drags on for a long time, maybe someone else will get involved.

I didn't care about it, and did it blatantly, just let them think I was a careless person.

A fledgling is not afraid of tigers. When they want to teach me a lesson, I just accept it. "

Tang Ling looked at Qi Xiao, trying to twitch her brows and suppress her uneasiness, but the more Qi Xiao understood everything, the more he couldn't help feeling distressed and worried.

For Qi Xiao to act like this, he must have his own plan.

For Bai Liu?But what is the relationship between Qi Xiao and Bai Liu?

Tang Ling couldn't guess, so she murmured and asked, "Qi Xiao, what exactly do you want?"

Qi Xiao smiled, his eyes were full of cunning and evil, and he leaned into Tang Ling's ear and whispered: "I want you."

Tang Ling seemed to have been scalded by Qi Xiao's words, and instantly turned red, burning with flames.

Qi Xiao pulled him up and took him straight back to his room, only then did Tang Ling realize that there was no one in the inner courtyard, even Baixiqiao and Zong Sheng were missing.

Closing the door, he held Tang Ling between his arms: "Wait for me in the room from now on."

Tang Ling is not a guest, so she shouldn't be waiting in the side hall.

Tang Ling leaned back against the closed door, blocked by Qi Xiao and had nowhere to escape, her heartbeat was as fast as the drums of a battle before the battle, urging him hard and hard to breathe.

Qi Xiao looked down at Tang Ling, his throat was tight, and he said after a while, "Tang Ling, I want you."

Tang Ling looked at Qi Xiao, his eyes reflected a person, all the brilliance was absorbed in a person, nothing else.

Tang Ling's mind went blank, she could only stare at him blankly, as if she was about to burn herself under his gaze.

Qi Xiao kissed him lightly: "Are you okay?"

Tang Ling reached out her hand to hook Qi Xiao's neck by accident, leaning forward to respond to his kiss.

it is good.

Qi Xiao smiled and led Tang Ling inside, but there were footsteps approaching outside.

Qi Xiao frowned slightly, and there was a resentment in his heart, whoever dared to disturb him would have to break his legs.

"My lord, His Majesty summoned me."

When the personal guard entered the inner courtyard and saw that Qi Xiao was not in the side hall, he did not dare to leave after taking two steps to the side room. Announcement in the hallway.

Seeing Qi Xiao's brows furrowed with anger, Tang Ling couldn't help laughing out loud, touching his cheek to comfort him gently: "Change into clean clothes, go quickly."

Qi Xiao was so angry that his teeth itch, the criminal should be arrested and tried, he has done everything he should do, Cao Weishan and Pei Hao should report the case to His Majesty, why is there still his business? !

"Go."

Tang Ling smiled, but he seemed nothing at all.

"Then wait for me to come back."

"……it is good."

***

Qi Xiao hurriedly changed his clothes and entered the palace, Cao Weishan and Pei Hao were nowhere to be seen in the Chengming Palace, His Majesty summoned Qi Xiao alone.

"My son sees my father."

"Well, get up and talk."

Qi Xiao stood respectfully and straight, with countless annoyances in his heart, but on the surface he was very well-behaved.

"Do you know why I called you here?"

His Majesty looked at his son whom he had not seen for many years, his gloomy eyes were mixed with inquiry, he had many children, most of them could not get any kind of favor, Qi Xiao was really inconspicuous when he was young, he could not remember Qi Xiao's appearance when he was young What does it look like.

He had been released for many years, and when he came back suddenly, he couldn't recognize this son even more.

"Father wants to ask about Luo Yu's case?"

"Then tell me and listen."

"At midnight on the tenth day of the eighth lunar month, a fire broke out in the mansion of Dali Temple Minister Luo Yu. After the fire was extinguished, Luo Yu's body was found. The servants said that bandits had sneaked into the mansion to steal treasure, killed Lord Luo, and fled with arson.

After the incident, the Wucheng Guards locked down the gates, and the Gyeonggi Metropolitan Government searched for the suspects. After dark, the Wudu Prefecture entered the city to assist in the arrest of the perpetrator..."

His Majesty glanced at Qi Xiao: "You don't need to read the report to me.

Tell me what you found. "

"..." Qi Xiao sneaked a glance at His Majesty, but couldn't see any color of happiness or anger.

After the case was found out, Qi Xiao did not express any opinion on Cao Weishan and Pei Hao's memorandum. With Pei Hao's temperament, he must be outspoken. Cao Weishan was too busy saving his life to hide anything, let alone Chi Yue as an eyeliner, Your Majesty What can I not know?Now come to ask him what to do?

"Father, the Wudu Mansion got two thugs in Dongshi yesterday, but the confession conflicted with the servants of the Luo Mansion. Mr. Cao and Mr. Pei followed the clues, and caught the man who secretly sent letters to the servants of the Luo Mansion that night. The scribes and the jailers who wanted to kill people were found to be entrusted by Changming Company in the city.

This morning, the Gyeonggi Metropolitan Government has inspected the store and its associated gambling houses.

Li Chang, the proprietor of the Changming Company, knows that there is nothing to quibble about, and he has confessed everything. He has private affairs with the Ministry of Finance, and has been using gambling shops to put seals on behalf of the Ministry of Accounts all the year round, making profits from it. He took the risk of killing Mr. Luo because he was afraid of being implicated in the corruption case of the Ministry of Accounting. . "

His Majesty looked at Qi Xiao, and said after a while, "You don't take credit for yourself at all."

"My father ordered my son to assist Mr. Pei in investigating the case. I dare not slack off. It's just that I have no experience in investigating cases. I can only learn from Mr. Pei's side and dare not take credit for it."

"Don't dare to take the credit?" The emperor showed a smile on his face, seeming to be satisfied, but at the same time annoyed, "Is Tiance Camp using it fairly smoothly?"

Qi Xiao lowered his head slightly, holding out the jade plaque of Tiance Camp with both hands: "I dare not overstep."

"The case has not been investigated yet, so let's keep it."

The emperor picked up an unread memorial and continued, "The Changming Company is the boss's private property, why don't you dare say it?"

Li Chang is the elder concubine's elder brother, so naturally he works for the eldest prince. If he finds out the Changming company name, he finds out the name of the elder prince. But without evidence, who would dare to accuse the elder prince of crimes?

Qi Xiao was silent for a moment, and said: "There is no evidence to go back to the father."

After checking here, the case should be closed.

After cleaning the household department, the eldest prince has no power to rely on, so he can't kill all his sons, can he?

After approving one memorial, the emperor flipped through the next one, and said to Qi Xiao, "Continue to investigate the case of military pay."

"...My son leads the order."
