Although the facts of the case were clarified, the results were not made public.

The emperor who didn't deal with government affairs very much finally became restless, and he called Liang Qing and Xu Shi over.

He doesn't care about the death of a little maid, and he doesn't care if the son of a courtier is imprisoned for a crime. The problem is that Xu Shi is his target, and the third princess, Xiao Yue, is still under house arrest in the harem by the queen mother, waiting to get married. day.

Xu Shi seemed to have aged ten years overnight, with a hunched back, and when he saw the emperor, he knelt down with a plop.

The emperor looked at Liang Qing.

Liang Qing's attitude is very firm, the death penalty is inevitable, but the living penalty is inevitable.

The emperor wanted to keep Xu Heng, but it was for a marriage.At this point, Liang Qing couldn't back down anymore.

At this time, Liang Qing's great confidence as a powerful minister was revealed. The emperor wanted to suppress this matter, so he couldn't rely on his own power. He could only find Liang Qing and persuade Liang Qing to let Xu Heng go.

Liang Qing could only back down: "I can only save Mr. Xu's life. According to the law of this dynasty, the murderer will be expelled from the capital."

The emperor simply stood up and said, "Xu Shi, can't you say a word?"

Xu Shi shook his head, Liang Qing is not a fool, why did he spend so much effort to find out, and pretend nothing happened?

Xu Shi kowtowed, and said: "Your Majesty, time is running out, Rong Chen should go to the cell to see the dog again."

The emperor was sullen and said nothing, so Xu Shi didn't say anything more, got up and left.

The emperor turned his gaze to Liang Qing, Liang Qing's expression was still indifferent, as usual, with a sickly paleness.

If a doctor dared to speak, he would definitely tell Liang Qing that it would be difficult for him to continue like this for a long time.

"I need an explanation," the emperor asked.

Liang Qing didn't want to tear his face apart at the moment when the emperor held him accountable, so he said, "Your Majesty, I am your subject."

The emperor's expression softened a little, at least Liang Qing still remembered her identity.

Liang Qingdao: "Recently, grain was being harvested in the south of the Yangtze River. I heard that some counties were plagued by insects. The Ministry of Households is raising money for disaster relief. I can help."

The country of Yue has experienced many years of war, and the treasury is empty. It is more difficult than anything else to come up with money.The Ministry of Household Affairs is also worried about this matter recently, and has been looking for the emperor several times, but the emperor can't think of a way, so he can't open his imperial treasury, right?

Although Liang Qing is not a relative of the emperor, but as a minister of power in South Vietnam, he has collected a large amount of money. Liang Qing himself can't remember the large amount of checks in the bank.

When Liang Qing said this, the emperor's expression changed immediately, and he said: "Aiqing is serious?"

Liang Qing nodded: "Of course, I will go to the Minister of the Household Department tomorrow."

The emperor stopped being angry immediately, with a smile on his face, and even asked Liang Qing to deal with Xu Heng at will without asking his opinion.

Liang Qingdao: "It's a pity that the marriage of the third princess..."

"That's okay, I'll explain to the Queen Mother when I get back." The emperor waved his hand and said, "In a few days it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Ai Qing must come."

Liang Qing said: "I remember it."

Inside the Dali Temple.

Xu Heng was imprisoned in Dali Temple, which was strictly guarded and where Liang Qing's forces were located.Before Xu Shi went in, he was stopped by the guards, saying that he was not allowed to visit the prisoner without the permission of Dali Temple Secretary.

This was originally Liang Qing's order, worried that Xu Heng would be robbed, but Xu Shi was stopped instead.

Xu Shi said angrily: "I am Xu Shi from the cabinet!"

Xiao Bing is very dedicated: "The father-in-law said that without a waist card, you are not allowed to enter."

"Wait a minute." A tall man dressed as a guard came over, holding a badge in his hand, "My lord asked me to bring Mr. Xu Ge in."

Xu Shi stared at him with wide eyes, Xiao Chengyan pulled him into the door and went downstairs. When he reached a quiet place, Xu Shicai came back to his senses and said, "My son, you, why are you here? Why do you have a badge?"

"It was stolen." Xiao Chengyan looked calm and indifferent, "Go on your own, I will wait for you for half an hour at most."

It was said that it was half an hour later, when Xu Shi returned to the shadow where the two separated, Xiao Chengyan stood there as expected.

Xu Shi was still willing to come to see him, not because he couldn't get out, but because he had something to explain.

As soon as they met, Xu Shi suddenly knelt down, Xiao Chengyan was startled, he quickly grabbed the other's arm, and lifted him up.

But Xu Shi struggled with all his strength and refused to get up, saying: "My son, I know that you have a noble character and are not filthy with others. But the old man has one important thing to ask you. Dog... dog Xu Heng, stubborn, but The old man's only heir, if the son can, save his life."

"If there is a need in the future, the son can tell the old man as much as possible."

In the dark corner, Xiao Chengyan's eyes were dark.In his previous life, he had encountered someone asking him to help him take care of important people in his life, as if begging for mercy would make the person he entrusted sacrifice his life to save.

Of course Xiao Chengyan was not.

He has an extraordinary indifference to everyone's fate.

Xiao Chengyan said: "Master Xu doesn't need to be so polite, please get up and talk first."

Xu Shidao: "My son, please promise me."

Xiao Chengyan said: "Okay."

Xu Shi just got up, took a deep look at Xiao Chengyan, then went upstairs and left here.

Liang Qing would never have thought that in the end, Xu Shi, whom he and the emperor had tried their best to win over, would choose Xiao Chengyan in the end.

After the case is settled, Aqiu's family members who were guarded in Dali Temple will also be released back.After Liang Qing finished her work, she came out from the back door and happened to meet them.

Aqiu's parents suddenly lost their daughter, and after being imprisoned for so many days, their spirits were sluggish, and the brother and sister-in-law behind were in a trance, and seemed to have suffered a lot.

The four saluted with force, and the old father said: "Thank you, Mr. Xie, for giving justice to the grassroots."

After finishing speaking, he stared at Liang Qing again, and suddenly said: "Are you the Duke of Zhen? Cao Min sent his daughter Aqiu to the Duke of Zhen's mansion. He met him once, and still has an impression of him."

It's really that Liang Qing's appearance is too outstanding, it's hard to forget.

Liang Qing lowered her eyes: "It's me, what's wrong?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man kneeling behind suddenly stood up, "It turned out to be you! You bought Aqiu, but instead of taking her into the house, you sent her back. You people in the government are all wolf-hearted only--"

He is Ah Qiu's elder brother, Ah Song. Before he finished speaking, Ah Song suddenly became violent, but it was about an emergency moment, and he instantly locked his eyes on Liang Qing, the only disabled person in the audience and the weakest force value. He rushed over in an instant.

Liang Qing didn't have the habit of letting all the guards surround him to protect him, and the incident happened in an instant, so suddenly, everyone didn't react for a while, and Liang Qing couldn't push the wheelchair away, and someone grabbed his clothes.

Liang Qing squeezed the handle of the chair tightly, and looked down to see the madness and hatred in the other party's eyes.

But at the next moment, a black shadow flashed by and kicked Ah Song out.

Ah Song's body was like an unstoppable stone, and it hit the stone lamp heavily. After smashing the stone lamp, it fell to the ground with a bang, which showed how much strength was used in that kick.

The guards on the side were stunned, and all turned their surprised eyes to the tall man who suddenly appeared.

Liang Qing still maintained the posture of tugging at the hem of his clothes. He raised his head and saw the figure blocking the sun in front of him. From the side face to the chin, there was an icy breath.

Liang Qing was the first to recover, and said to the guards beside him, "Are you still arresting him?"

The guard hurriedly looked away, and picked up Ah Song who was lying on the ground and couldn't get up.And Xiao Chengyan also half-kneeled on the ground, saying: "Your Excellency is frightened."

"It doesn't matter." The thing happened too fast, Liang Qing took two deep breaths in shock, thanks to Xiao Chengyan's timely appearance, Liang Qing didn't dare to imagine what would happen next.

His legs were so inconvenient.

When she regained her composure, Liang Qing recollected Ah Song's extremely resentful eyes and words when he rushed over.Aqiu fell to this point because he was abandoned by the Duke's mansion, as if he was the source of disaster for their family.

But this is unfair. Ah Song knew that Xu Heng had evil intentions for his sister, but still married his sister to him in order to gain power. Their parents even tacitly turned a blind eye to everything.

They don't want justice, but just want the benefit of Aqiu's marriage.

On the contrary, Liang Qing was blamed for letting them offend the powerful, and even lost their money and their daughter's life.

It's not that Liang Qing can't figure this out, it's just that no one cares about the truth he found, and he feels a little bit chilled.

People from Dali Temple took Aqiu's family down, Liang Qing took a look and sighed, "Don't they want justice?"

Xing Yuan, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, said: "My lord, ordinary people, justice is difficult for them. They think more about how to live better."

Xing Yuan said, "However, there has never been a rule that a woman who comes to the house to be a personal maid will be accepted into the house of a dignitary. That trickster is clearly looking at your good words, and is also annoyed at not being able to get a bride price from Miss Aqiu. I want to blackmail you for compensation."

Xing Yuan has been an official in the court for seven years, and he has handled hundreds of cases instead of a thousand. He is experienced and has sharper eyes and a clearer mind than Liang Qing, who just passed through and lives in modern times.

Liang Qing said: "It's because I didn't think through it thoroughly."

He turned his head to look at Xiao Chengyan, who had been silent all the time, and said, "It's all thanks to you."

Xiao Chengyan's expression was indifferent, his face was calm, and he only answered a word "um" quite coldly.

The guards of the Duke's Mansion escorted Liang Qing back to the mansion, and Xiao Chengyan followed the carriage.

He once wandered in the world, and met many evil people, even more hateful than the villains in the court, without any sense of propriety, justice and shame.So Xiao Chengyan didn't sympathize with what happened to Ah Qiu's family.

It's just that under his indifferent appearance at the moment, his mind is not so calm.

The hand hanging by his side was slightly bent, and the slight numbness in his feet seemed to be still there from the force of kicking someone just now, which shows how strong he was just now.

He had to admit that the moment Liang Qing was dragged down, he got nervous.
