After I wear the book, I use the food to attract the attention of the big guys

"Hey, you don't know what we found out recently."

Bai Yan gestured with an exaggerated expression, even Xie Niannian was aroused curiosity.

"The account book of military pay brought back by the Zhenbei Army did not match that of the court. We followed the clues and found the Duke's mansion.

Ning Guogong dared to do this kind of thing under Chi Qing's nose, didn't he think he had lived too long? "

"This morning, the old man bit him to death and refused to admit it, so Chi Qing had the ability to arrest him. Hey, the last one who dared to provoke Chi Qing like this, the grass on his grave was three meters high."

Xie Niannian frowned, the reason was different from the one in the book.

Gu Chen in the book directly used the power of the Tianshu Division to forge evidence that the Duke's government had privately fabricated jade seals, and sentenced their entire family to exile.

"General Zhenbei returns to Fengjing once every three years. Logically speaking, he shouldn't come back this year. Is it because of the war on the frontier?"

After gulping down the last mutton soup, Bai Yan stood up and said goodbye: "Isn't that right, of course you will be rewarded if you win the battle."

The Dukes of Ning have committed crimes for two successive generations. Is there really something wrong with Duke Ning, or does someone want him to die?

Holding back his doubts, Xie Niannian couldn't even read the scriptures anymore, and just wanted to wait for Chi Qing to come back and ask her carefully.

But the meal still has to be cooked, and eating is the biggest thing in the world.

Xie Niannian shaved off the bones of the fresh lake fish caught on ice, cut them into thin slices, and stewed them in a large pot with sauerkraut.

Put the pancake on the side of the pan and cook it, and then you can eat it with the soup of pickled cabbage and fish with the soft flatbread.

The fish fillets are tender and thornless, and the soup is hot and sour, which is perfect for dinner.

When Chi Qing Shi Shiran stepped into the restaurant, he saw Xie Niannian staring at her with wide open eyes like a vigilant rabbit.

Not to mention that as soon as she was seated, Xie Niannian gave her three pieces of fish and half a cake.The superimposed shadows who are growing their bodies are not treated like this.

Chi Qing didn't move, she raised her eyelids and looked at the person who was trying to be courteous in front of her: "Did you do something bad?"

"How is it possible!" Xie Niannian immediately denied, she is so honest, she can be said to be the most honest of all.

She conveniently picked up a chopstick of fish meat for Die Ying: "Eat quickly, I can ask something after I finish eating."

"You can ask now, too."

"No! The fish with pickled cabbage won't taste good when it's cold!"

Chi Qing has nothing to say, Xie Niannian's pursuit of food is reflected in all aspects, including but not limited to the control of cooking methods, ingredients, and time.

Xie Niannian stared at her as she obediently finished her bowl, and after making sure she was full, he moved over to be next to her.

Looking at this posture, Duoying understood instantly, Xie Niannian took the initiative to put away the bowls and chopsticks before opening his mouth, slipped away in three steps at a time, and closed the door intimately.

After I don't know how many times I felt that this child is really sensible, Xie Niannian took Chi Qing's hand and put it in his own.

"So, the Duke's Mansion really committed a crime?"

Feeling the constant heat coming from Xie Niannian, Chi Qing's expression became much gentler: "You are so hot, just to ask this?"

"Well, there are all personal and material evidence. 20 taels of silver with the official seal were found in the secret room of the Duke's Mansion, which is equivalent to a season's tax in Cangzhou Mansion."

Xie Niannian let out a sigh of relief, she had never seen so much money, and how magnificent the warehouse was piled up.

"Mr. Ning Guo is so stupid?" She couldn't believe it, after all, she was an old man in the court, how could she be so openly corrupt.

Chi Qing sneered and said: "Zhao Zhuozhi has been investigating corruption in recent years, and the Duke's Mansion may have lost a lot of income. Those sons of his family are not very promising, and they are not as capable as He Shu."

"It's still as extravagant as before. Sooner or later, I will have to sit and eat."

Now Xie Niannian understood. Seeing that her hand was heating up, she continued to cover it with another hand: "So he was in a hurry, but he took such a big risk."

"Someone probably guarantied him, saying that he would never be found out." Chi Qing tilted his head slightly, as if remembering something funny: "He asked to confront Gu Chen in court, and I'll let him talk about it tomorrow."

Gu Chen, it's Gu Chen again.

Xie Niannian tightened her grip on Chi Qing's hand, she felt complicated when she heard the name.

On the one hand, she almost killed Chi Qing, and she couldn't forgive her no matter what. On the other hand, she was Chi Qing's senior sister, and Chi's father was indeed sorry for her.

Hearing Chi Qing's statement, isn't she the one who led Duke Ning to embezzle military pay?

"Why tomorrow? Hang him so that he can say the wrong thing nervously?"

"No." The smile in Chi Qing's eyes became more obvious, and he squeezed Xie Niannian's hand instead: "Because I'm going home for dinner."

This reason, coupled with the beauty's flowery smile, is simply setting fire to Xie Niannian's heart.

The fire burned all the way to his face, Xie Niannian turned his face away, and said awkwardly: "You are not in a hurry, and you are not afraid that Gu Chen will find an opportunity to get rid of the relationship."

Chi Qing looked indifferent, instead playing with Xie Niannian's fingers leisurely.

"If she is not well prepared, she will not take it easily. Forging evidence and instigating people's hearts, she is the best learned among us."

"As for why she took action against the Duke's mansion, Duke Ning committed a lot of corruption during the reign of the late Emperor, and it was all blamed on the Chen family."

Xie Niannian didn't bother to care about this person's childish behavior, and sorted things out on his own.

"She killed you for the convenience of seizing power? And for revenge?"

"There are too many benefits, and it can also be used as a certificate of honor to join the side of the virtuous king."

Hearing this, Xie Niannian frowned: "She lured Ning Guogong into corruption"

"Use me as a pawn, so that the Duke's Mansion has no place to stand up."

Get in touch with Zhao Zhuozhi's elder brother, gain trust, and use his influence to make arrangements.

Assassinate Chi Qing, provoke border wars, and station troops in Xuanzhou, forcing Zhao Zhuozhi to be overwhelmed.

Even if all the above things are unsuccessful, Chi Qing and Zhenbei Army who have returned to Beijing can help her find out the crimes against the Duke's Mansion.

As long as she can get away, she will always find a way to achieve her goal.Such an interlocking chain is definitely not an overnight plan.

Being slapped hard on the shoulder, Chi Qing looked inexplicably at the person in front of him who suddenly became serious.

"No, how can we be so passive!"

Xie Niannian felt a sense of crisis that Gu Chen could retreat in such a turbulent way.What if she still refuses to give up and continues to assassinate Chi Qing?

She seemed to understand now why Chi Qing had to work overtime to investigate some time ago.

People who originally only thought about story books and delicious food were now full of worry, which Chi Qing didn't want to see.So she took Xie Niannian and put it against her forehead.

"Relax, trust me. And you just need to think about what to eat tomorrow morning."

Seeing that Xie Niannian remained unmoved and still looked worried, Chi Qing turned to rub her face again: "Bring breakfast tomorrow, and I'll sneak you into the courtroom to see if the two of you can confront each other?"

Xie Niannian, who was originally drooping, straightened his back when he heard that there was melon to eat.Like a watered cabbage, it is alive again.

"Then I want to eat pot sticker dumplings."

"It's up to you."

Xie Niannian woke up early to make potstickers dumplings.

The dumplings are filled with seasoned fillings, and they come into close contact with the unheated oil first. After the sound of "sizzling", I took a bath in the water.

In the end, the bottom was fried until golden, Xie Niannian ignored Chi Qing's dissuasion, and ate it after blowing it a few times, it was so hot that she stuck out her tongue.Still refused to vomit, and tried to cool down with a hand fan.

Chi Qing couldn't laugh or cry.

An opaque screen was erected above Tianshu Division's courtroom, and the sound could be heard, but the picture could not be seen.

Xie Niannian hugged her potstickers and sat on the small chair behind the screen, taking one bite at a time.

Kacha Kacha, the sound of teeth crushing the bottom of the dumpling, it is fragrant and crisp.

After a while, all the staff arrived, and they were seated late.

Before she could open her mouth, Ning Guogong was the first to say: "It's Gu Chen! She promised me to make fake accounts for me in the court, to smooth out the hole in the military salary, and then she will split up with me afterwards!"

Gu Chen, who was standing upright on the opposite side, was not annoyed, but instead smiled gently at Duke Ning: "I have never met Mr. Duke."

"But the voice in the sedan chair is clearly the same as yours!" Ning Guogong was annoyed after being refuted by her. He also took out a few letters and a jade pendant that were placed close to him, and asked the guards beside him to show them to Chi Qing.

Chi Qing, who was sitting on the top, propped his head, casually flipped through a few pages with one hand, and handed it to Gu Chen.

Her expression was still indifferent, and she didn't even change her sitting posture, which made Ning Guogong, who was secretly looking at her, feel uneasy.

Didn't it mean that Chi Qing and Gu Chen were at odds?Such a good opportunity to suppress the opponent, why can she still sit still?

However, Gu Chen chuckled lightly after reading the letter, which just confirmed his uneasiness.

Her white hands held the thin letter paper, and when it was loosened a little, the paper scattered all over the ground with the wind, and everyone could see the content on it.

The correct regular script is spread all over the whole paper, and there is a red seal underneath, and the delicate cloud pattern surrounds the Big Dipper, which seems quite plausible at first glance.

"There are so many ventriloquists in Beijing, so why is it so difficult to hear something familiar?" Gu Chen calmly replied, "As for this letter"

"It is indeed similar to me, and I am also very surprised. But anyone who knows me well knows that my strokes will always be longer unconsciously."

Gu Chen looked back at Chi Qing sideways, his smile still undiminished: "Are you right, Ah Qing?"

"really."

Chi Qing lazily replied this sentence without saying much, only his eyes fell on the ground, as if he was listening very carefully.

She did listen carefully.It's just that they are not listening to the nonsense in front of them, but the sound of eating food behind the screen.

The sound is smooth and non-stop, which means that Xie Nian Nian is eating well.

As the quarrel in front became more intense, the voice behind gradually slowed down, which meant that Xie Niannian thought it was very interesting, and subconsciously stopped his movements.

Covering the curve of Chi Qing's mouth with her propped hand, she can imagine what Xie Niannian looks like now.

It must be like the fluffy hamster I saw when I was a child, holding the wheat grains in my hand, with round eyes open, taking a bite and stopping.

Ning Guogong didn't know what Chi Qing was thinking, he was in a mess now, and his face was blushing.

"But how do you explain this private seal!"

Everyone in the Tianshu Division who was listening had different expressions, and Gu Chen frowned slightly, showing concern: "Does the Lord know what you are talking about? This is not my private seal, but belongs to the previous Secretary of the Ministry of Military Affairs. .”

"The six divisions of the Tianshu Division have their own private seals, but they are only used internally and are strictly prohibited from being circulated. Important documents between the divisions are burned after reading."

"My lord is not a member of the Tianshu Division, so how can he know what the private seal of the Ministry of Military Affairs is like?"

She spoke clearly and softly, but at this moment it turned into a spike and pressed against Ning Guogong's throat, making him speechless.The coldness lingers around his body like a gangrene, and wearing a cloak is still like falling into an ice cave.

Gu Chen's expression turned cold, and the previous gentleness no longer existed: "Mr. Ning, privately spying on Tianshu's secrets is a more serious crime."

"Or, you already know that your crime is unforgivable, and you want to drag Tianshu into the water?"

When Xie Niannian, who was hiding behind the screen, heard this, he even forgot to eat the fried dumplings in his hand.

Gu Chen is really cunning, how can Ning Guogong quibble with this cauldron being withheld?

He also couldn't explain the issue of the imprint, after all, when the first emperor was in power, Tianshu was just a decoration for these aristocrats.

The abilities of the two are not at the same level at all. As Chi Qing said, the outcome is already set.

Ning Guogong then backed away, pointing at Gu Chen speechless: "You, you!"

"Besides, Tianshu Division's job is to supervise all officials." Gu Chen met Ning Guogong's gaze, and said in a deep voice: "What makes you think that you can cooperate with Tianshu Division?"

"Could it be that you have done this kind of thing before?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ning Guogong drew out his saber and was about to stab Gu Chen.

He has been completely picked out of his mind now, and he doesn't even think about where he is.

Gu Chen stood still, and before the sword approached her, a silver light flashed by. With a sound of "Bang Dang", the saber fell to the ground, and a deep and long scar appeared on Duke Ning Guo's hand.

"Ning Guogong." Chi Qing finally spoke, and she tapped her knuckles lightly on the table, but it seemed to be on Ning Guogong's heart: "What I said today will be presented to His Majesty, and before the judgment is made, please stay in the Tianshu Division for a while." .”

"It's okay, let's go."

After everyone leaned over and said "yes", they escorted Ning Guogong, who was pale and pale, and left the lobby.

After everyone had left, Xie Niannian poked his head out and tiptoed to Chi Qing who was still sitting lazily with his head propped up.

"What are you thinking? How can you catch Gu Chen?"

Xie Niannian followed Chi Qing's gaze and found that she was looking at the clear sky outside the window.

"After the beginning of spring, the wild geese flying south will return."

Xie Niannian didn't understand how Chi Qing would suddenly get involved with Dayan. Does it have anything to do with Gu Chen?

"Do you want to eat wild game?"

Chi Qing turned her eyes back to Xie Niannian's face, raised her hand and gently wiped off a little oil stain on the corner of her mouth.

"I'm thinking, I'm going to hunt a wild goose myself so that I can propose marriage to you."
