Clan House

"Maybe," Song Jingxin replied vaguely, "It's getting late, let's go back first."

Song Yi looked at the sky: "The sun at noon, why is it so late, the prince still has something to do in the afternoon?"

"Ah, there is something..." Song Jingxin laughed awkwardly, "I forgot to tell my uncle the emperor, ashamed."

"Since that's the case, let's go back together. The king took the prince's carriage to go out. The prince will not let the king walk back to the mansion, right?"

"Then." Song Jingxin nodded, calling the servants to pack up and return home.

Seeing Song Jingxin turned around to leave, Song Yi took a diagonal step to stop him: "Won't the crown prince take the thief?"

"Ah, that's right," Song Jingxin patted his head, "I'm confused, thank you Emperor Uncle for reminding me."

Song Jingxin ordered the beautiful boy to be arrested, bound with a rope and gagged.In his heart, he planned to send him to Prince Jin's mansion for interrogation by his sister, but he wanted to send King Chu back to his mansion, so he had to escort him on the road together.Song Yi said that there were so many people outside, it would be embarrassing for others to see, so he asked Song Jingxin to tie him up and throw him into the carriage.

As a result, the already not spacious carriage was even more crowded.Song Jingxin glanced at Gu Lingmiao, then at the beautiful young man, wishing he could kick the two of them out of the car one by one.

"It's true that there are too many people, and I can only feel sorry for Lingmiao," Song Yi gave Gu Lingmiao a wink, "Don't follow along, go rent a car and go back to the palace."

Gu Lingmiao got out of the car knowingly. Not only was the carriage spacious, but Song Jingxin's heart was also spacious.After all, prisoners are not qualified to sit, and the beautiful boy was tied up and fell sideways on the spot where Gu Lingmiao had squatted before.

The boy was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and his body was taller and stronger than the men in Daluo.Now she is tied into rice dumplings, her mouth is stuffed with a cloth ball, her cheeks are flushed, and she looks very aggrieved.Seeing him humming and whining about to say something, Song Yi got annoyed by the noise, and pulled the cloth ball out of his mouth.

"I didn't steal anything, I didn't steal anything, that bead was given to me by your concubine Luo!"

Song Jingxin was startled, and was about to be scolded, but Song Yi said: "Just now I was the queen, now I'm the princess again, you have to remember what you said if you make up nonsense!"

"Really, really! She came out of the palace, she is so beautiful, she is either a queen or a princess!" The beautiful boy was aggrieved, "She didn't tell me who she was, I didn't lie!"

"They came out of the palace." Song Yi raised his eyebrows, looking at Song Jingxin, "Who did the crown prince give this bead to?"

Seeing Song Jingxin bowed his head and said nothing, Song Yi continued to ask the handsome young man, "Which palace are you talking about?"

"Jin..." The handsome young man didn't speak Chinese well, he bit the words hard, and reconfirmed, "Jin, Wangfu."

Song Yi was thoughtful: "You gave it to the King of Jin, so the maids in the Prince Jin's mansion stole the property?"

"I remember, last month I did send a few pearls to the King of Jin," Song Jingxin said hastily, "Don't ask the emperor's uncle, this thief, I will send it directly to the King of Jin later."

"I'm wronged! I didn't steal it, I didn't steal it, I'm wronged..." The beautiful boy kept crying, maybe he knew how to cry out wronged after watching too many dramas.

"You didn't steal it, did the bead jump onto you out of thin air?" Song Yi sneered.

"It was given to me by the queen... the princess, not stolen!" the beautiful boy cried.

"How do you know that you didn't make up a person randomly," Song Yi said, "What is the name of the queen and concubine you mentioned, and what does it look like?"

"Uncle Huang, don't listen to his nonsense, he is trying to slander the reputation of the concubine's family for nothing." Song Jingxin grabbed the beautiful boy by the collar, trying to gag him again.

Song Yi pulled the cloth ball behind his back. "This person just yelled out in the downtown area. You need to ask clearly before you can return the housewife to Qingming."

"She didn't say her name, but she likes to wear a green jacket and a gold hairpin on her head, the kind that shakes when she walks." Said the beautiful young man, seeing Song Yi and the two still looking at him coldly, suddenly felt blessed, "Mouth, there is a mole under the mouth, and there is also a mole on the shoulder!"

"Adultery," Song Yi raised his eyelids to look at Song Jingxin, and sneered, "Which side concubine of Prince Jin's residence has a mole under her mouth?"

"This... I don't know..." Song Jingxin said awkwardly.

"It's okay, just ask."

The carriage stopped slowly, only to hear Huang Xi calling "Your Highness" outside.

Song Yi lifted the curtain of the car, saw that the guards of the palace had surrounded the car, straightened his clothes and wanted to get out of the car. "My king has arrived, I troubled the crown prince to send him all the way, and this man was taken away by my king."

"What, this..." Song Jingxin got out of the carriage and saw a circle of guards in the palace, led by Gu Lingmiao who had just left. "Uncle Huang, you plot against me...why do you do that!"

"The matter involving adultery is the responsibility of the clan's family." Song Yi saw Song Jingxin's aggrieved face, and smiled apologetically, "I am only afraid that the crown prince will protect my brother, and I am worried that the crown prince will make a mistake. The crown prince will go back to the palace." , This king will definitely examine this matter carefully and carefully, and will definitely give an explanation to His Royal Highness Jin Wang."

The prince left in anger, and his back looked very lonely.Song Yi's conscience was slightly uneasy, but after the guards turned the beautiful boy into the mansion, they turned their attention back.

"It was an accident that the crown prince saw him today." Gu Lingmiao helped Song Yi across the threshold, and Song Yi gave her an appreciative glance, "Thanks to your cleverness, you came back to call someone. If the crown prince insists on taking him back to the East Palace, this king will not be able to defeat him." .”

"It's what a servant should do," Gu Lingmiao asked, "How should I deal with this person?"

"According to the rules and regulations, take him to the clan mansion for trial." Song Yi said.

Song Yi thought that Princess Jin was recuperating her body, so she sent Cheng Gongyue to the Prince Jin's mansion to investigate.Cheng Gongyue was cautious and never confronted King Jin directly, but only inquired about the news around Princess Jin.Princess Jin was naive and ignorant, and she didn't even know about human relations. Cheng Gongyue made some indirect remarks about the affairs in the room, and she knew the identity of King Jin.

The fate of Jin Wang and his wife is also a strange thing.The two married each other, and after the wedding, there was blood on the towel.Because Princess Jin was young when she got married, she was very ignorant about the relationship between men and women.The king of Jin also specially asked the nanny to speak vaguely, so that the princess had only a half-knowledge about Dun Lun, and she naively thought that all husbands and wives in the world were just like the king of Jin.The female family members of the clan will not chat about obscene things during small talk.Cheng Gongyue asked a few questions on the basis of her son's heir, and actually confirmed her guess on this kind of naive concubine.

In this way, Song Yi confirmed the identity of Jin Wang's woman, and all that was missing was evidence to reveal the matter.

The interrogation of the Hu Renmei boy went smoothly, and Song Yi already had a desired result, so he only ordered his subordinates to interrogate according to the requirements.

The person who committed adultery with the barbarians was Li Shi, the side concubine of Prince Jin's mansion. This side concubine was in charge of several shops in the mansion.That pearl was originally given by the crown prince to the king of Jin to make the concubine happy. There were eight in total. The concubine was generous and gave one to each of the three side concubines.When Mrs. Li obtained the Nanzhu, she was in love with the Hu people, so she presented the pearl as a token to him, which led to the current lawsuit.

Song Yi sent someone to watch Li's affair for a long time, but he never expected to alarm the prince by accident.Even if Song Yi succeeded in taking the Hu people away, with Song Jingxin's friendship for the King of Jin, he would definitely visit the Prince Jin's mansion immediately to discuss countermeasures.Fortunately, the two of them didn't know that the king of Chu was suspicious of the identity of the king of Jin, so they just guarded Mrs. Li to avoid revealing any secrets in Song Yi's hands.

Song Yi went to Jin Wang's mansion to ask for someone twice, but failed.He decided to stand still for now. Li Shi is an important witness, and he needs to take it into his own hands.

Emperor Xuanqing was obsessed with cultivating immortals and hadn't held the Qianqiu Festival for two years.In the seventh year of Xuanqing, the most favored jade beauty recently became pregnant. Emperor Xuanqing was overjoyed and promoted her to Zhaoyi.Therefore, this year's Qianqiu Festival is extraordinarily grand, except for the Queen Mother who is still recovering from illness in Beihai, all clan relatives and noble relatives are indispensable.The three side concubines of Prince Jin's Mansion were all of high rank, but Mrs. Li had a sudden illness and was unable to attend.

During the banquet, the singing and dancing were mediocre, and just when the emperor was drowsy, the sound of exotic music suddenly sounded.Emperor Xuanqing raised his eyes when he heard the sound, and saw a slender orchid dressed in a purple gauze dress, holding a pipa in her arms, with her face half hidden.Orchid spun on the dance floor with her bare feet, the toes brought up waves, and the falling flowers turned into a belt, making her seem to come out of the flower tree out of thin air.The dance girl's pupils were as bright as water, although she could not see her true face, Emperor Xuanqing already felt a throbbing.He hooked his fingers, and saw the dancing girl spinning and getting closer to the singing.

After the song, Emperor Xuanqing already had a beauty in his arms, and stretched out his hand to take off the beauty's veil.

"Hold on, Your Majesty..." The beauty held the emperor's hand with bright eyes.

Ever since the barbarian appeared, Song Jingxin secretly thought it was bad.Although he had never seen the barbarian woman before, he had seen the dancers and music performers on the stage.

The orchid was so pitiful, she whispered in Emperor Xuanqing's arms for a long time.In the end, Emperor Xuanqing couldn't bear the woman's crying, and looked at the prince: "The prince captured their people?"

Before Song Jingxin could reply, Song Yi stood up, "It's none of the prince's business, the clan's house handled the case and arrested a member of their dance troupe."

Emperor Xuanqing thought that he hadn't had too much to drink, and asked, "The Clan Mansion, what are you doing arresting civilians?"

"That young man was handsome, and he seduced his clan's wife to have an affair with Li Shi, the side concubine of the Jin Palace." Song Yi said loudly, "There is physical evidence, Li Shi gave him a Nanzhu, which has the seal of Da Nei on it."

Song Yi intentionally raised his voice, causing an uproar among the clan members present.Emperor Xuanqing only felt his cheeks burning hot, and resisted not ordering the king of Chu to be forked out.The emperor looked at King Jin dissatisfied, and the usual kindness was gone in his eyes.Song Jingshi sighed, pulled the princess away from the table, and knelt down to plead guilty.

"My son is not strict in running the family," Song Jingshi looked at the emperor with a pleading look on his face, "but today is the emperor's Christmas, so let's talk about such family ugliness later."

"Your Highness is right," Song Yi said, "However, please ask the King of Jin to hand over the Li family to the clan mansion as soon as possible. It is not easy for me to arrest people in the inner house of the king's mansion."

"This..." Song Jingshi looked at the emperor with a look of embarrassment on his face, "I'd better leave the matter of my son's back house to my son's own."

"Give it to the King of Chu!" Emperor Xuanqing yelled angrily, "The clan's mansion will come to pick you up tomorrow, so don't say any more!"
