Chapter 1, Birth Encounter
What's more, isn't the New Year just about being happy, and it doesn't matter if you relax a bit.
Light yellow sky lanterns floated up into the sky little by little, appearing extraordinarily bright in the dim night sky.Beautiful but not dazzling, sky lanterns were put up one by one, Junli and others looked up, and with a "pop", a firework bloomed, as if receiving some signal, the fireworks in the night sky were in full bloom.
"It's so beautiful..." Everyone murmured unconsciously as they looked at the bright night sky.
"Group leader, what wish did you write on the sky lantern?" Tao Ran asked Junli curiously after admiring the fireworks for a while.
"It won't work if you say it!" Jun Li shook her head, no matter how much Tao Ran begged herself, she gritted her teeth and refused to say it.
"Okay." Tao Ran pursed her lips, "I promise, I hope my family will have a safe life, and I can find a good husband."
"Hehe, Sister Taoran's heart has sprouted~" Ting Yu laughed when he heard this.
Tao Ran glanced at Ting Yu angrily, "Still talking about me, I don't believe you didn't make such a wish." As they spoke, the two made a mess.
Jun Li watched the crowd frolicking not far away, with a happy smile: No matter how long this day lasts, your company makes me no longer lonely.
Sky lanterns float leisurely in mid-air, and lines of smooth and freehand scripts are listed on one of them: first, I wish you eternal peace; second, I wish you a good fate in this life;
————————————————————
Nights in the capital are often noisy and festive on the occasion of the New Year. According to the usual practice, the emperor will send people to give vegetables to the ministers at this time every year.
The eunuchs in the palace were dressed in yellow shirts, and they rode in pairs of five to their destination.
Every family is watching the new year, and the streets are lonely.Bright lanterns are hung all over the branches, sighing that there is no night in the capital.When it was obviously peaceful, a shocking change happened suddenly.
The deadly knife flashed, and the inner prisoner hadn't seen the murderer clearly, and his soul had returned to hell.The corpse fell limply to the ground, and the screams were drowned out by the noise of firecrackers and fireworks.The street returned to calm in just a few minutes, only a drop of blood flowed quietly, proclaiming the unrest of the night
☆, homicide
The palace man who gave food died outside the palace on New Year's Eve, and the emperor was furious.
Jun Li hurried to the gate of the main courtyard, saw Emperor Liang's servant waving his hands quietly to him, and saw the silence of the palace people around him, so he knew that the emperor was really angry this time.
Jun Li pushed the door open and walked in, seeing Meng Zhi kneeling on the ground.This time the incident happened just outside the moat, within the jurisdiction of Meng Zhi, it seems that the emperor took all his anger on him.
"Greetings to Your Majesty." Jun Li bowed slowly.
"Come on, Ah Li should have heard about this case, right?" Emperor Liang was a little annoyed. On New Year's Eve, at the feet of the emperor, such a murder case happened, it was a slap in the face for him!What's more, being able to kill five people at the emperor's feet without being discovered, the culprit behind it cannot be underestimated. Emperor Liang was shocked and angry.
"A Li came here just for this matter. Everyone in the criminal department is on standby. They will definitely investigate and find out the truth, and catch the real culprit." Jun Li's tone was gentle, but with unquestionable confidence and firmness.
"Okay! I believe in you." Emperor Liang nodded, and turned to Meng Zhi, "As the leader of the imperial army, such a murder happened within your jurisdiction. Meng Zhi, you are ineffective in governing and neglecting your duties. .Also, you have to assist Princess Anhe to catch the culprit within [-] days and redeem the crime."
"The minister leads the order."
————————————————————
When Jun Li returned to her mansion, she changed into her regular clothes and went to Mei Changsu's mansion.
"What do you think of this murder case?" Jun Li sipped a cup of tea and said slowly, as if it wasn't her who was ordered to solve the case within [-] days.
"I heard that Commander Meng was fined twenty court sticks?" Mei Changsu didn't answer but started another topic.
"Yes, Your Majesty is really a cold-blooded and ruthless person." Jun Li thought of Emperor Liang's punishment of Meng Zhi, and snorted softly.
"Five people have died now. I'm afraid that there will be more cases in the future. I guess the murderer is targeting the identities of those people."
Jun Li's eyes lit up, and she obviously thought of this link, "Aiming at their identities? What's the use of them dying? To anger the emperor?...It's to shake Meng Zhi's trust in front of the emperor!"
Mei Changsu glanced at Jun Li unexpectedly, he didn't expect his thoughts to be so in tune with Jun Li, "That's right, I'm afraid they want to use this to weaken the emperor's trust in Brother Meng, so as to weaken the power of the imperial army, so as to control the emperor. purpose of the city."
Jun Li continued, "Wanting to control the imperial city is naturally what the people in the center of power want to do. King Yu? No! It's the prince! Marquis of Ningguo Xie Yu, the patrol battalion in his hands should not be underestimated."
"That's right, but... I always feel that things won't be so simple." Mei Changsu frowned. From what he knew about Xie Yu, he wouldn't act so hastily. The eldest brother will definitely strengthen the defense, and it will not be so simple if he wants to succeed.
Jun Li pondered for a moment, and after a while, he didn't know what to think of, "After Commander Meng was sentenced, I left the imperial city, and happened to see King Yu rushing into the palace, probably to intercede for Commander Meng."
As if on the last link, Mei Changsu Mao said suddenly, "That's right, Your Majesty is the most suspicious. If King Yu defends Brother Meng so much, His Majesty will definitely think that they have a deep friendship. suspected."
Mei Changsu looked up at Junli, "I'm going to visit Prince Yu's Mansion now."
Jun Li understood, "I came here this time to discuss the murder case with Brother Su. Now that I have the result, I won't bother you anymore, so I'm leaving."
The author has something to say: During the Chinese New Year, a group of Jiang Zuomeng gathered to eat dumplings.
Mei Changsu: Since the gang leader is 'delicate and frail', there is already a plate of delicious dumplings in front of him.
Fei Liu: Looking at the plate in front of him, he very rudely grabbed a bigger and more plate.
Others couldn't grab Fei Liu, and they were even more lonely. They used all kinds of physical skills to grab the dumplings, because the dumplings they snatched were more delicious?
"Pa-ta" Feiliu spat out a copper coin, and before Feiliu could react, everyone stretched out their hands to touch Xiao Feiliu's furry head, which they had wanted to touch for a long time.
Fei Liu's eyes widened, and he stared at Mei Changsu pitifully. Mei Changsu couldn't help laughing, "Those who get the copper coins are blessed, that's why everyone touches Fei Liu to be blessed."
Fei Liu tilted his head, trying to think about it: I didn't get any copper coins before, and Lin Chen always touched his head...
☆、Secret talk late at night
Mei Changsu originally wanted to talk about Prince Yu's mansion, but he had other thoughts when he walked halfway: Now that King Yu has pleaded with Meng Zhi, and now he is clearly a counselor for King Yu, no matter what he does, he will be regarded as King Yu for Meng Zhi Sincere activities.
This murder case is now jointly investigated by Jun Li and Meng Zhi. With Xie Yu's ability, he will definitely not leave any clues on the scene. Emperor Liang will definitely not believe it. The reason is to investigate Zhuo Dingfeng in depth...
For the first time, Mei Changsu felt powerless. With no physical or personal evidence, the case was almost impossible to move forward.
"Li Gang, ask Tong Lu to contact everyone in the gang, carefully watch Zhuo Dingfeng's actions, secretly arrange for the masters of the gang to lie in ambush under Xie Yu's mansion, watch the sentry carefully, and tell me immediately if there is any action."
"Yes."
————————————————————
Meng Zhi is now in the Ministry of Punishment, and carefully read the autopsy certificate written by Wu Zuo: There was a fatal wound on the neck, he was killed with a single sword, and the technique was clean and neat, and the rest of the wounds were all caused by falling off the horse.
Meng Zhi looked at the report and sighed inwardly. The murderer was highly skilled in martial arts, but no useful clues were left at the scene. The crime happened on New Year's Eve, and there were no witnesses at all. How should we investigate this?
Meng Zhi let out a long breath, and saw Jun Li reclined on the chair, reading a book leisurely.
"Princess, are you not in a hurry? Your Majesty, the stipulated time is only thirty days."
Jun Li glanced miserably at Meng Zhi, "You've been busy all day and you haven't found anything. It's useless to be anxious, not to mention that I believe my subordinates will give me a satisfactory answer."
Seeing Meng Zhi's pale face, Jun Li said with some distaste, "Commander Meng doesn't seem to be in very good health, it's better to take good care of his injuries, don't fall down before the case is solved, it will be very difficult for me." Do it. Come here first today, Commander Meng, go back and rest."
Meng Zhi wanted to say that he could still persevere, but seeing Jun Li's displeased face, he silently swallowed the words, "In this way, I will leave first."
Jun Li nodded, watching Meng Zhi leave.
"Hongxuan, what did you find out?"
"Princess, the murderer's martial arts are strong, at least comparable to An Liu. I'm afraid it's rare in the capital. The subordinates received the news that Mei Changsu sent someone from his gang to silently monitor Ning Guohou's mansion. The subordinates suspected that the murderer had acquaintance with Ning Guohou. A good subordinate of Zhuo Dingfeng."
"Really..." Jun Li was not surprised, this conclusion was discussed with Mei Changsu yesterday. "Whatever Commander Meng wants to do, you should try your best to cooperate, and you should listen to him in this case, you know?"
"My subordinate understands."
————————————————————
Not long after Meng Zhi returned home, Mei Changsu took Fei Liu to visit secretly.
"Brother Meng, are your injuries alright?" Mei Changsu asked worriedly after Mrs. Meng closed the door carefully.
"It's just a minor injury, it's nothing to worry about, why don't I go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice today?" Meng Zhi waved his hand.
"I heard that Prince Yu entered the palace to intercede for you?"
"Isn't it? I don't have much friendship with him, but this time he is very considerate, but after he left, His Majesty seemed even angrier."
"Sure enough, Brother Meng, think about it, once you have an accident, a prince will intercede for you. Isn't this a personal relationship? What is it? I'm afraid His Majesty already has some doubts about you."
Hearing this, Meng Zhi shuddered, but there was anger burning in his heart, "I have been loyal to him for decades, and it is because of this that he wants to suspect me..."
Mei Changsu sneered, "After all these years, haven't you seen the true face of your master? Will he take any affection into account?"
Meng Zhi remembered what Emperor Liang had done to the person in front of him, "Yes, I was stunned, but Your Majesty asked me to solve the case within [-] days, and I stayed in the Ministry of Criminal Justice for a day without a clue, what should I do? good?"
Mei Changsu shook his head, "You can't solve this case. It has been concluded that the person behind the scenes must be Xie Yu. Since he has done what he is, he won't leave any clues."
"Is this the end of the case?" Meng Zhi felt a little unwilling.
"That's the only way, even if you find clues, you can't solve the case." Mei Changsu looked at Meng Zhi with reason in his eyes, and said calmly, "You are the commander of His Majesty's Imperial Guard. You are skilled in martial arts, but if you solve this case, His Majesty will fear you. The best way is to ask His Majesty to resign from the position of Grand Commander as soon as the one-month deadline is over, so as to protect yourself."
Meng Zhi had a look of embarrassment on his face, "I'm fine, it's just that the criminal department..."
Mei Changsu thought of something, chuckled, "Jun Li is much smarter than you, don't worry, she won't interfere."
☆, Zhuo Qingyao
When Jun Li saw Meng Zhi the next day, he found that he was no longer doing everything personally like yesterday, but was doing superficial and perfunctory things, so he knew that Mei Changsu had already told Meng Zhi what was at stake.
So Junli drank tea and read books every day, his whole body was so idle that his bones were crisp.Why don't you go out and visit friends?To be honest, Jun Li's age and position are really embarrassing. Those who are older than her are not as high as her. Others can't save face and get close to her, and Jun Li doesn't want to waste time chatting with them; those who are younger than her are mostly in awe. Timid, after all, she was in the same position as their parents.
After going back and forth, Jun Li didn't have the heart to make any friends, anyway, she had too many things to spare and couldn't spare time.It's just that I didn't expect that after so many years, I would be free, and I couldn't find a friend to talk to.She had no choice but to stay in the Ministry of Criminal Justice and continue to be a lady of the family who never left her home.
"An Yi, has anything major happened recently?" Jun Li asked a little irritably, looking like a dead fish.Sure enough, something was wrong when I was free, and Jun Li was a little speechless to herself. It turns out that my essence is a workaholic...
"None." An Yi replied lightly, "However, April is Xiao Jingrui's birthday."
Hearing this news, Jun Li finally regained some energy, "Well, I didn't expect that little dumpling to grow up so big. It's a pity, I think he is the best of Xie's parents, I hope he won't collapse that day... ..." Jun Li murmured, looking a little lonely, isn't it always like this these past few years?For their own purposes, they have to hurt others unnecessarily.
————————————————————
Mei Changsu posted a message inviting Xiao Jingrui, Yan Yujin, Xie Bi and others to have a gathering.
Just after the new year, all the teenagers pretended to be reserved, holding back for such a long time, when they saw the post, they all shouted in their hearts, and went to the appointment excitedly.
"Fei Liu is one year older. This little face is a sign. In the next year, if you say that your eldest brother will be the first, you will be able to be the second." Yan Yujin teased Fei Liu with a smile, "I will take you out in a few days. What are you doing here so bored?"
Xiao Jingrui always liked to talk to Yan Yujin, and hearing what he said was not serious, he hurriedly said, "Brother Su, you still don't know the nature of Yujin. Are you afraid that what you took out was Feiliu, and you brought it back as 'Merry'?"
Xie Bishun continued to laugh at Yujin, "'Merry'? I'm afraid it has become 'dirty'."
"What are you talking about? You're clearly jealous of my chic and suave appearance." Yujin glanced at them, raised his chin, and looked arrogant.
"Yan Yujin, your skin is itchy, aren't you, looking for a beating!" Xiao Jingrui didn't talk nonsense, he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to start a beating.
Mei Changsu watched them fight, "It's been a while since I saw you fighting each other, let me see your progress today."
Yan Yujin's martial arts are not bad, but he is a nobleman after all, so he is not very refined after all. On the contrary, Xiao Jingrui's set of swordsmanship is smooth and flowing, which is quite tasteful.
"Jingrui's sword technique is quite exquisite." Mei Changsu praised.
Xiao Jingrui was wiping his sweat, blushing a little at Mei Changsu's admiration, and hurriedly said modestly, "I only know superficially, Brother Su, but I know that my eldest brother from the Zhuo family, Zhuo Qingyao, is known for his superb swordsmanship."
"The reputation of Hero Zhuo has been rumored in Jianghu for a long time. Will they return to Pingzuo this time after the first lunar month?" Mei Changsu blew on his teacup, and the rising mist softened his entire face.
Xiao Jingrui shook his head, with a joyful smile on his face, "Sister Qi is pregnant, brother Yanghe Qingyao will stay with her, and he probably won't leave until mid-April."
"Congratulations, you kid is going to be an uncle, or is it an uncle?" Yujin patted Xiao Jingrui on the shoulder.
"Brother Su, do you know the reason why they didn't leave until mid-April?" Yujin said while winking.
"Huh? Could it be that there are some important days in April?" Mei Changsu guessed when he saw Yan Yujin's condition.
Jing Rui glared at Yujin, and said with some embarrassment, "It's just that everyone wants to get together more..."
"Brother Su, you can tell by Jing Rui's expression that April may have something to do with Jing Rui."
Mei Changsu raised his eyebrows, and he knew what they were talking about, "Is it Jingrui's birthday? When is it?"
"April [-]th, Brother Su must come to join in the fun." Seeing that Mei Changsu had guessed it, Yujin added quickly.
"Speaking of which, I don't know Yujin's birthday yet. Why don't Yujin tell me?"
"The seventh day of the seventh month, brother Su, my mother said that people born on this day value affection the most. I think he only values affection for girls." Jing Rui had a chance to fight back, and answered Mei Changsu first.
Yujin was not ashamed of it, and looked at Mei Changsu with sparkling eyes, "Brother Su, will you come for my birthday?"
Seeing Mei Changsu nodding, he added brazenly, "Brother Su's congratulations will not be less, right?"
"Yan Yujin, you have a thick skin. No one would come to ask for a birthday gift." Xiao Jingrui couldn't understand him, and choked.
"Brother Su is different from the others, so Brother Su won't blame me, right?" Yu Jin grinned, out of shape.
"I can't beat you, I can't beat you, look at the sword!" Xiao Jingrui saw that Yan Yujin couldn't talk about it, so he immediately used force.Xie Bi and the others tried to persuade them to fight, but they didn't want them to make a fuss. They had long forgotten the original intention of trying to persuade them to fight, and they joined the battle and started fighting in full swing.
☆、Change death row
Days passed, and apart from the rumors of a long-haired monster, the palace was peaceful inside and outside.
Meng Zhi listened to Mei Changsu's advice and became more careful about the defense of the palace. In just ten days, two cases were caught.Often shocked, the fan case personnel came in from the outside and pretended to be the inner prisoner. Hearing this news, Emperor Liang reprimanded the queen.The other six houses are still in peace.
Mei Changsu learned from Xiao Jingrui that Zhuo Qingyao would stay here until mid-April, so he secretly sent experts to follow him, hoping to find any clues.Zhuo Qingyao is also very cautious, when he feels someone is following him, he doesn't dare to act rashly.In this way, it seems that the past few days have been a peaceful and prosperous world.
"Princess, He Wenxin's sentence is coming." Xiao Liu came to report.
"Huh? Has King Yu arranged for someone to replace him?" Jun Li lazily responded.
"Everyone has been replaced. He Wenxin has been taken out by his father and placed in another hospital."
"Send the clues to Xie Yu, be careful, and don't let them get caught by the Ministry of Criminal Justice." Jun Li looked at Xiao Liu, and said word by word, "The Ministry of Criminal Justice has no knowledge of this matter, it's all a vain attempt to hide it from the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Crossing the sea, the Ministry of Criminal Justice immediately sent people to investigate after discovering that the death row prisoner had been replaced, but the money did not dare to act rashly without finding any clues. Do you know?"
"This subordinate understands." Xiao Liu made a bad smile, this is to ask the prince and Yuwanggou to bite the dog.
So the day of the execution was a farce. When the judge was about to issue a decapitation order, Xie Yu raised his voice to stop, "My lord, are you sure the identity of the culprit is correct?"
The judge had already been bribed by King Yu, so he gritted his teeth and refused to change his words, but since Marquis Ning Guo questioned it, the Ministry of Criminal Justice couldn't execute the sentence hastily.
During the stalemate, several carriages rushed to the execution ground, and Jun Li got off the leading carriage. Seeing the expected situation, she pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What happened?"
After the people from the Criminal Department informed the matter, Jun Li smiled hypocritically and bowed to Xie Yu, "Thank you, Lord Hou, for maintaining order for me. I have led everyone in the Criminal Department to find out that it is not He Wenxin who is currently in the execution ground."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar. Jun Li was very happy to see the scene he had caused, and clapped his hands lightly, "Bring people down."
A man was dragged out from the rear carriage, and his face seemed to be that of He Wenxin!
Naturally, He Jingzhong would not admit that that was his son, and only said that it was the one on the scene.
Seeing that they refused to admit it, Jun Li sighed, "I wanted to save some face for Mr. Minister, but if you don't admit it, some people will admit what they have done." As he spoke, he pulled a few more people from the carriage. The head, and the relative who took the place of the dead ghost.
On behalf of the relatives of the dead ghost, they rushed to the stage and cried a few times, and the people on the stage immediately shouted, "I am not a death row prisoner! I don't want to die..."
Now that everything is clear, Uncle Wen Yuan was so angry that he immediately went to the palace to complain to the king. Jun Li asked people to monitor the situation and went to the court with Uncle Wen Yuan.
The emperor was furious when he heard this absurd thing, and soon dealt with the case of changing the death row: He Jingzhong was dismissed and demoted to the governor of Yuezhou.The judge Qi Min ignored the king's law, abused his power, was dismissed and sentenced to exile.The people in the Ministry of Punishment did not do enough to supervise, but rescued them in time, and fined them with one month's salary as an example.
The many officials involved in this case were demoted and punished, and Yu Wang was so angry that he jumped to his feet, gnashing his teeth at Xie Yu, hating him to the bone.
The prince seized this opportunity and wanted to send people to the bureaucracy, but Yu Wang refused to give up an inch, and lost a confidant general, how could he let the prince's manpower be placed in his department.
On the contrary, in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Jun Li pulled out all the people who had been intruded by the crown prince and King Yu, and inadvertently mentioned to Emperor Liang that Prince Jing had done a good job in handling the land invasion case. Called, asked a few words, and found a talent, so he was assigned to the Ministry of punishment to fill the vacancy.
This time the crown prince and Yu Wang fought, it can be said that both sides suffered losses.
☆, explosion
"This year is really an eventful year." Jun Li held a piece of paper in his hand and turned his head to look out of the window and sighed, his eyes were full of interest, "This King Yu has indeed done great things, this hand is really beautiful."
The □□ stored in the private artillery room exploded unexpectedly, involving nearly [-] households, causing heavy casualties.
"What's going on now?"
"Less say more than 150 people died. The Jingzhao Yamen is counting the exact number. The casualties are close to [-]. The fire was barely suppressed and did not continue to spread. Prince Jing heard the news and led his troops to maintain order at the scene and distribute supplies." The officials of the Ministry of Punishment knelt respectfully. On the ground, answer word by word.
"Is there no decree yet?" Junli heard Prince Jing's eyes move slightly, and soon returned to calm.
"Not yet, it seems that I want to suppress it for the prince."
"Suppress it? Yu Wang disregarded the lives of the people, just to make things worse, so that the prince can never turn over again, how could he lightly expose it?" Jun Li sneered when he heard this, his eyes were filled with disgust, "The prince and Yu Wang are really Your Majesty's child is equally vicious."
The officials kneeling below wished they could plug their ears. This is not something a petty official like me can hear!
"Go down, let the people from the Ministry of Punishment also go to rescue the disaster, and assist King Jing." Jun Li saw the cold sweat dripping from his subordinates, and finally let go, "Do you know what to say and what not to say?"
"This subordinate understands." The man nodded his head hurriedly, he didn't even bother to wipe off his sweat, he bowed and left.
Jun Li thought for a while by herself, then covered the darkness in her eyes, this was something she couldn't control, and couldn't control.
It's about the three princes. On the surface, he is a lonely and pure minister, to avoid Emperor Liang's suspicion. This kind of thing can be avoided as soon as possible. Someone will do it.
Jun Li can avoid it, but Mei Changsu can't watch so many people lose their lives for nothing.
As soon as Mei Changsu heard about it, he immediately sent someone to thoroughly investigate Yu Wang. No one could make such a big disturbance without leaving any traces.
"Fei Liu, do you want to go out with Brother Su?" Mei Changsu was unsteady, and finally decided to go out and have a look.
Fei Liu nodded happily, and put Mei Changsu's mink fur coat on him.
Walking to the destination, Mei Changsu heard the smell of burning from a distance, recalling the fire that burned everything in him many years ago, his hands slowly tightened, and veins popped out.
"Brother Su?" Fei Liu was the most sensitive to emotions, and when he realized something was wrong, he hurriedly looked at Mei Changsu.
"Brother Su is fine, I just remembered some bad things." Mei Changsu stroked his head soothingly, but no smile appeared on his pale face.
"Mr. Su is here? Mr. Su's news is really well-informed." Prince Jing was supervising the soldiers' dispersal of supplies. He looked back at Mei Changsu and went back to help the injured people.
Mei Changsu watched the bandaged but still bleeding people line up orderly to receive food, military doctors and supplies tents lined up neatly by the road, and sighed, "His Royal Highness Prince Jing has worked hard."
"The prince was impeached for corruption a few days ago, and then the private gun room he managed exploded again. Does Mr. Su think this is a coincidence?" Prince Jing looked straight at Mei Changsu, "Prince Yu, in order to hit the prince harder, Doing such a cruel and inhumane thing, I wonder if Mr. Su participated in it?"
Mei Changsu knew that it was understandable for Prince Jing to be suspicious, after all, in his mind, he was just a strategist who studied treacherous schemes.But anger rose uncontrollably in his heart, how could he, how could he speculate like this? !
"Although I am an unscrupulous person, I can't do such a heartless thing!" Mei Changsu forced himself to endure, but still couldn't bear the pain in his heart, and uttered this sentence.
☆, kiss
Hearing Mei Changsu's angry voice, King Jing also knew that he had wronged him. Looking at Mei Changsu's pale face, Xiao Jingyan couldn't express the apology in his heart, so he could only remain silent.
"Your Highness does not need to report the misappropriation of military funds to the military department. The bigger the disturbance, the better."
"Why? It stands to reason that the military department should be notified if military funds are embezzled. Aren't you afraid that I will be included in a book?"
"The ministers are all staring at the Crown Prince and King Yu, so who pays attention to what His Highness is doing? If there is no trouble like this, who will notice how much His Highness has done for this incident?"
"Mr. Su is really good at planning." Xiao Jingyan snorted coldly, he was not a person who used his good deeds to win people's hearts.
"Everything you do has its usefulness. If Su can't make the best use of what His Highness has done, Su will be a counselor for nothing." Mei Changsu's tone was sharp and his anger was not calmed down.
The two broke up unhappy. Although they had reached a consensus, Prince Jing and Mei Changsu were at opposite ends of the basic attitude towards this matter.
The case of the bombing of the private cannon house has clear clues, and the police cannot excuse the prince.A few days later, Emperor Liang made a decree: the prince moved to Guijia Palace, and he was not allowed to intervene in court affairs. Nearly [-] officials, large and small, involved in the case were punished to varying degrees.
On the contrary, King Jing resettled the victims in time and won several compliments from Emperor Liang.
————————————————————
Da Chu sent people to marry, and Jing Ning was the only princess of the right age.It seems that Jing Ning's marriage is inevitable, but Jing Ning already has a sweetheart in his heart, and he is unwilling to live or die.
Emperor Liang was troubled by his wayward little daughter, so he had no choice but to ask Junli to enter the palace to relieve her.
"Get out! I don't want to eat! Get out! I don't want to see you!" As soon as Jing Ning saw someone coming, he immediately saw things thrown from the table, forcing the visitor to stand at the door. "I don't want to marry! I want to see Grandma Tai, Grandma Tai will definitely not let me marry so far away, I don't want to marry!"
Jun Li waved a snow-white feather fan, looked at Princess Jingning's madness in the room, sneered, and waved for the guards to tie the princess up.
"Presumptuous, I'm a princess, how can you treat me like this! Let me go! Let me go!" Jing Ning didn't expect that they would do it to him, struggling desperately, how could he beat several adults.
Seeing that Jing Ning had stopped, Jun Li stepped into the house. "Princess Jingning? Look at you, don't you look like a princess now? You're just like a street shrew!"
Jun Li pretended not to see Jing Ning's unwilling, desperate, and angry eyes, and pressed her fan handle against her chin, raised her head slightly, and looked directly into her eyes, "I don't want to marry? You know what you said How ridiculous? As a princess, don't you know that even if you don't get married this time, your marriage is destined not to be your own decision. "
"I know, but I'm not reconciled. Why must I be the one who gets married?" Jing Ning said in a tearful voice.
"Then who do you want? The four princesses of the clan are all disabled and cannot marry outsiders. As for Princess Mingjue of Li Wang's family, she has already been engaged to the Nangong family. It is impossible for His Majesty to offend Li Wang and the Nangong family just because of you." Yes." Jun Li's light words shattered Jing Ning's hopes.
"What about you? You are also the princess!" Jing Ning's eyes were red, and she looked at Jun Li with a ferocious face.
"Me? This princess is in charge of the Ministry of Punishment. I am an important minister in the court. I want to marry out? What's more, my father and elder brother are all heroes who died for the country. It is even more impossible for your majesty to disappoint the military officials of the court for you, a mere princess." Heart." Jun Li looked at Jing Ning, his eyes were calm and unwavering, this time he came here only at the order of Emperor Liang, to persuade Princess Jing Ning to marry outside, as for the method, it doesn't matter, does it?
Jing Ning was stunned for a while, and finally buried his face in his hands and wept.
Seeing that the princess had already figured it out, Jun Li didn't stay soon.Back in the mansion, for some reason, thinking of Jing Ning crying again, he sighed slowly.
Without ability, you can only be at the mercy of others.Jing Ning is the best example. If you hadn't taken power early, I'm afraid you will be the one who made the marriage this time. Jun Li, remember that if you are not ruthless, others will be more ruthless to you.
The author has something to say: I am too lazy to write an article, and now the manuscript is zero.It is estimated that this article will be delayed... -_-||
☆, faith
The crown prince was banned, and King Jing's superficial strength was not enough to compete with King Yu. It can be said that King Yu is proud of his spring breeze, and his grace and power in the court are getting stronger. There are even rumors that His Highness Yuwang will soon become His Highness the Crown Prince.
Jun Li just smiled at these rumors. Emperor Liang would not allow his son to climb on top of his head. These rumors are just rumors and cannot become true.
"My lord, Miaoyinfang has started to recruit Hongxiu." Anbu likes to gossip when he has nothing to do. After finding out that Mei Changsu sent someone to recruit Hongxiu, he immediately came to report, "Master, why do you think Qin Banruo is helping?" King Yu has achieved great success, isn't she going to restore the country?"
Jun Li glanced at him meaningfully, "Have you never heard a saying that men conquer the world and women conquer men. King Yu can't control Qin Banruo, that woman has great ambitions, but it's a pity that she doesn't have the wisdom to match her ambitions. Let's not do it this time, since Miaoyin Pavilion is doing it, let them do it."
"Yes." An Qi rolled his eyes, a little regretful that he could not continue to listen to gossip, and bowed and backed away.
"Princess, it's time for you to take your medicine." Ting Yu knew that the matter was settled when she saw the person quit, and hurried in with the medicine that had been heated several times.
Looking at the dark medicine, Jun Li frowned fiercely, "Is this thing edible?"
"Princess, you have been drinking since childhood, why are you still so afraid of taking medicine?" Ting Yu felt helpless, the older the princess, the more self-willed, in the past few years drinking medicine did not need coaxing, now it is too difficult to let her take a sip of medicine Yes, if no one is watching, she will definitely not drink.
"Ting Yu, it's not that I don't drink it, it's just that drinking this medicine is useless." Jun Li lowered her eyelids and said slowly and softly.
Grief appeared in Ting Yu's eyes, and he quickly forced himself to be "Princess, you can live longer if you drink the medicine. You can see Mr. Su's revenge, see him get married, have children, and live happily ever after. This is not what you have always been. A wish from the past?"
"Listen to the rain, I'm so tired. I hope he has a good life, but I also hope that he has a bad life. I think he will be alone all his life, and I don't want any woman to approach him, and I secretly tell myself that this is wrong. Brother deserves the best." Jun Li covered her face to hide all the ferocity on her face, she didn't want anyone to see her embarrassed and ugly side now.
"Princess, forgive Ting Yu for saying something disrespectful. Ting Yu doesn't understand why you are not with him. Since you like him, why aren't you together?" Ting Yu has served Junli since she was a child, and knows what she has done for him.
"Ting Yu, I can't tell whether I love him or not. For me, my feelings for him are far more complicated than love. He is my belief in living and the only one I have endured for so many years. Support, I don't know what kind of person he is in your eyes, but in my eyes, in my world, he is the best, so dazzling that I can't touch it, I can only look at it from a distance, holding everything together Come before his eyes." Jun Li's eyes were slightly red, revealing the most paranoid and humble side of her heart.
That's right, in Jun Li's eyes, she is not worthy of Lin Shu at all, because that is her belief.
Princess!Ting Yu didn't know how to answer, and felt aching in his heart, "Princess, you deserve the best in Ting Yu's heart."
After speaking, she rushed out the door, afraid that if she continued to speak, she would not be able to help but cry.
Ting Yu didn't tell others what she said. Many years later, she was married and had children, and she still couldn't help crying when she thought of what the old master said on that bright afternoon.
It's a pity that things are different and people are different, leaving memories in vain
☆, birthday
Time passed in a hurry, and Xiao Jingrui's birthday came in a blink of an eye.Since Mei Changsu and Miss Gong Yu from Miaoyinfang were going to come this time, Xiao Jingrui did not invite the friends who were drinking and meat from previous years, but invited a few serious ones such as Xia Dong and Meng Zhi.
"Miss Gong Yu is here, please come in quickly." Xiao Jingrui greeted the guests at the door, and when he saw Yan Yujin coming in with a woman wearing a fence, he quickly stood up and smiled.
"Why does the birthday star only welcome Miss Gong Yu? Didn't he see me?" Yujin glared at Xiao Jingrui, twisted his neck and said stubbornly.
"Welcome if you are far away, welcome if you are far away, Mr. Yan, please come in quickly." Jing Rui cupped his hands and said
Light yellow sky lanterns floated up into the sky little by little, appearing extraordinarily bright in the dim night sky.Beautiful but not dazzling, sky lanterns were put up one by one, Junli and others looked up, and with a "pop", a firework bloomed, as if receiving some signal, the fireworks in the night sky were in full bloom.
"It's so beautiful..." Everyone murmured unconsciously as they looked at the bright night sky.
"Group leader, what wish did you write on the sky lantern?" Tao Ran asked Junli curiously after admiring the fireworks for a while.
"It won't work if you say it!" Jun Li shook her head, no matter how much Tao Ran begged herself, she gritted her teeth and refused to say it.
"Okay." Tao Ran pursed her lips, "I promise, I hope my family will have a safe life, and I can find a good husband."
"Hehe, Sister Taoran's heart has sprouted~" Ting Yu laughed when he heard this.
Tao Ran glanced at Ting Yu angrily, "Still talking about me, I don't believe you didn't make such a wish." As they spoke, the two made a mess.
Jun Li watched the crowd frolicking not far away, with a happy smile: No matter how long this day lasts, your company makes me no longer lonely.
Sky lanterns float leisurely in mid-air, and lines of smooth and freehand scripts are listed on one of them: first, I wish you eternal peace; second, I wish you a good fate in this life;
————————————————————
Nights in the capital are often noisy and festive on the occasion of the New Year. According to the usual practice, the emperor will send people to give vegetables to the ministers at this time every year.
The eunuchs in the palace were dressed in yellow shirts, and they rode in pairs of five to their destination.
Every family is watching the new year, and the streets are lonely.Bright lanterns are hung all over the branches, sighing that there is no night in the capital.When it was obviously peaceful, a shocking change happened suddenly.
The deadly knife flashed, and the inner prisoner hadn't seen the murderer clearly, and his soul had returned to hell.The corpse fell limply to the ground, and the screams were drowned out by the noise of firecrackers and fireworks.The street returned to calm in just a few minutes, only a drop of blood flowed quietly, proclaiming the unrest of the night
☆, homicide
The palace man who gave food died outside the palace on New Year's Eve, and the emperor was furious.
Jun Li hurried to the gate of the main courtyard, saw Emperor Liang's servant waving his hands quietly to him, and saw the silence of the palace people around him, so he knew that the emperor was really angry this time.
Jun Li pushed the door open and walked in, seeing Meng Zhi kneeling on the ground.This time the incident happened just outside the moat, within the jurisdiction of Meng Zhi, it seems that the emperor took all his anger on him.
"Greetings to Your Majesty." Jun Li bowed slowly.
"Come on, Ah Li should have heard about this case, right?" Emperor Liang was a little annoyed. On New Year's Eve, at the feet of the emperor, such a murder case happened, it was a slap in the face for him!What's more, being able to kill five people at the emperor's feet without being discovered, the culprit behind it cannot be underestimated. Emperor Liang was shocked and angry.
"A Li came here just for this matter. Everyone in the criminal department is on standby. They will definitely investigate and find out the truth, and catch the real culprit." Jun Li's tone was gentle, but with unquestionable confidence and firmness.
"Okay! I believe in you." Emperor Liang nodded, and turned to Meng Zhi, "As the leader of the imperial army, such a murder happened within your jurisdiction. Meng Zhi, you are ineffective in governing and neglecting your duties. .Also, you have to assist Princess Anhe to catch the culprit within [-] days and redeem the crime."
"The minister leads the order."
————————————————————
When Jun Li returned to her mansion, she changed into her regular clothes and went to Mei Changsu's mansion.
"What do you think of this murder case?" Jun Li sipped a cup of tea and said slowly, as if it wasn't her who was ordered to solve the case within [-] days.
"I heard that Commander Meng was fined twenty court sticks?" Mei Changsu didn't answer but started another topic.
"Yes, Your Majesty is really a cold-blooded and ruthless person." Jun Li thought of Emperor Liang's punishment of Meng Zhi, and snorted softly.
"Five people have died now. I'm afraid that there will be more cases in the future. I guess the murderer is targeting the identities of those people."
Jun Li's eyes lit up, and she obviously thought of this link, "Aiming at their identities? What's the use of them dying? To anger the emperor?...It's to shake Meng Zhi's trust in front of the emperor!"
Mei Changsu glanced at Jun Li unexpectedly, he didn't expect his thoughts to be so in tune with Jun Li, "That's right, I'm afraid they want to use this to weaken the emperor's trust in Brother Meng, so as to weaken the power of the imperial army, so as to control the emperor. purpose of the city."
Jun Li continued, "Wanting to control the imperial city is naturally what the people in the center of power want to do. King Yu? No! It's the prince! Marquis of Ningguo Xie Yu, the patrol battalion in his hands should not be underestimated."
"That's right, but... I always feel that things won't be so simple." Mei Changsu frowned. From what he knew about Xie Yu, he wouldn't act so hastily. The eldest brother will definitely strengthen the defense, and it will not be so simple if he wants to succeed.
Jun Li pondered for a moment, and after a while, he didn't know what to think of, "After Commander Meng was sentenced, I left the imperial city, and happened to see King Yu rushing into the palace, probably to intercede for Commander Meng."
As if on the last link, Mei Changsu Mao said suddenly, "That's right, Your Majesty is the most suspicious. If King Yu defends Brother Meng so much, His Majesty will definitely think that they have a deep friendship. suspected."
Mei Changsu looked up at Junli, "I'm going to visit Prince Yu's Mansion now."
Jun Li understood, "I came here this time to discuss the murder case with Brother Su. Now that I have the result, I won't bother you anymore, so I'm leaving."
The author has something to say: During the Chinese New Year, a group of Jiang Zuomeng gathered to eat dumplings.
Mei Changsu: Since the gang leader is 'delicate and frail', there is already a plate of delicious dumplings in front of him.
Fei Liu: Looking at the plate in front of him, he very rudely grabbed a bigger and more plate.
Others couldn't grab Fei Liu, and they were even more lonely. They used all kinds of physical skills to grab the dumplings, because the dumplings they snatched were more delicious?
"Pa-ta" Feiliu spat out a copper coin, and before Feiliu could react, everyone stretched out their hands to touch Xiao Feiliu's furry head, which they had wanted to touch for a long time.
Fei Liu's eyes widened, and he stared at Mei Changsu pitifully. Mei Changsu couldn't help laughing, "Those who get the copper coins are blessed, that's why everyone touches Fei Liu to be blessed."
Fei Liu tilted his head, trying to think about it: I didn't get any copper coins before, and Lin Chen always touched his head...
☆、Secret talk late at night
Mei Changsu originally wanted to talk about Prince Yu's mansion, but he had other thoughts when he walked halfway: Now that King Yu has pleaded with Meng Zhi, and now he is clearly a counselor for King Yu, no matter what he does, he will be regarded as King Yu for Meng Zhi Sincere activities.
This murder case is now jointly investigated by Jun Li and Meng Zhi. With Xie Yu's ability, he will definitely not leave any clues on the scene. Emperor Liang will definitely not believe it. The reason is to investigate Zhuo Dingfeng in depth...
For the first time, Mei Changsu felt powerless. With no physical or personal evidence, the case was almost impossible to move forward.
"Li Gang, ask Tong Lu to contact everyone in the gang, carefully watch Zhuo Dingfeng's actions, secretly arrange for the masters of the gang to lie in ambush under Xie Yu's mansion, watch the sentry carefully, and tell me immediately if there is any action."
"Yes."
————————————————————
Meng Zhi is now in the Ministry of Punishment, and carefully read the autopsy certificate written by Wu Zuo: There was a fatal wound on the neck, he was killed with a single sword, and the technique was clean and neat, and the rest of the wounds were all caused by falling off the horse.
Meng Zhi looked at the report and sighed inwardly. The murderer was highly skilled in martial arts, but no useful clues were left at the scene. The crime happened on New Year's Eve, and there were no witnesses at all. How should we investigate this?
Meng Zhi let out a long breath, and saw Jun Li reclined on the chair, reading a book leisurely.
"Princess, are you not in a hurry? Your Majesty, the stipulated time is only thirty days."
Jun Li glanced miserably at Meng Zhi, "You've been busy all day and you haven't found anything. It's useless to be anxious, not to mention that I believe my subordinates will give me a satisfactory answer."
Seeing Meng Zhi's pale face, Jun Li said with some distaste, "Commander Meng doesn't seem to be in very good health, it's better to take good care of his injuries, don't fall down before the case is solved, it will be very difficult for me." Do it. Come here first today, Commander Meng, go back and rest."
Meng Zhi wanted to say that he could still persevere, but seeing Jun Li's displeased face, he silently swallowed the words, "In this way, I will leave first."
Jun Li nodded, watching Meng Zhi leave.
"Hongxuan, what did you find out?"
"Princess, the murderer's martial arts are strong, at least comparable to An Liu. I'm afraid it's rare in the capital. The subordinates received the news that Mei Changsu sent someone from his gang to silently monitor Ning Guohou's mansion. The subordinates suspected that the murderer had acquaintance with Ning Guohou. A good subordinate of Zhuo Dingfeng."
"Really..." Jun Li was not surprised, this conclusion was discussed with Mei Changsu yesterday. "Whatever Commander Meng wants to do, you should try your best to cooperate, and you should listen to him in this case, you know?"
"My subordinate understands."
————————————————————
Not long after Meng Zhi returned home, Mei Changsu took Fei Liu to visit secretly.
"Brother Meng, are your injuries alright?" Mei Changsu asked worriedly after Mrs. Meng closed the door carefully.
"It's just a minor injury, it's nothing to worry about, why don't I go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice today?" Meng Zhi waved his hand.
"I heard that Prince Yu entered the palace to intercede for you?"
"Isn't it? I don't have much friendship with him, but this time he is very considerate, but after he left, His Majesty seemed even angrier."
"Sure enough, Brother Meng, think about it, once you have an accident, a prince will intercede for you. Isn't this a personal relationship? What is it? I'm afraid His Majesty already has some doubts about you."
Hearing this, Meng Zhi shuddered, but there was anger burning in his heart, "I have been loyal to him for decades, and it is because of this that he wants to suspect me..."
Mei Changsu sneered, "After all these years, haven't you seen the true face of your master? Will he take any affection into account?"
Meng Zhi remembered what Emperor Liang had done to the person in front of him, "Yes, I was stunned, but Your Majesty asked me to solve the case within [-] days, and I stayed in the Ministry of Criminal Justice for a day without a clue, what should I do? good?"
Mei Changsu shook his head, "You can't solve this case. It has been concluded that the person behind the scenes must be Xie Yu. Since he has done what he is, he won't leave any clues."
"Is this the end of the case?" Meng Zhi felt a little unwilling.
"That's the only way, even if you find clues, you can't solve the case." Mei Changsu looked at Meng Zhi with reason in his eyes, and said calmly, "You are the commander of His Majesty's Imperial Guard. You are skilled in martial arts, but if you solve this case, His Majesty will fear you. The best way is to ask His Majesty to resign from the position of Grand Commander as soon as the one-month deadline is over, so as to protect yourself."
Meng Zhi had a look of embarrassment on his face, "I'm fine, it's just that the criminal department..."
Mei Changsu thought of something, chuckled, "Jun Li is much smarter than you, don't worry, she won't interfere."
☆, Zhuo Qingyao
When Jun Li saw Meng Zhi the next day, he found that he was no longer doing everything personally like yesterday, but was doing superficial and perfunctory things, so he knew that Mei Changsu had already told Meng Zhi what was at stake.
So Junli drank tea and read books every day, his whole body was so idle that his bones were crisp.Why don't you go out and visit friends?To be honest, Jun Li's age and position are really embarrassing. Those who are older than her are not as high as her. Others can't save face and get close to her, and Jun Li doesn't want to waste time chatting with them; those who are younger than her are mostly in awe. Timid, after all, she was in the same position as their parents.
After going back and forth, Jun Li didn't have the heart to make any friends, anyway, she had too many things to spare and couldn't spare time.It's just that I didn't expect that after so many years, I would be free, and I couldn't find a friend to talk to.She had no choice but to stay in the Ministry of Criminal Justice and continue to be a lady of the family who never left her home.
"An Yi, has anything major happened recently?" Jun Li asked a little irritably, looking like a dead fish.Sure enough, something was wrong when I was free, and Jun Li was a little speechless to herself. It turns out that my essence is a workaholic...
"None." An Yi replied lightly, "However, April is Xiao Jingrui's birthday."
Hearing this news, Jun Li finally regained some energy, "Well, I didn't expect that little dumpling to grow up so big. It's a pity, I think he is the best of Xie's parents, I hope he won't collapse that day... ..." Jun Li murmured, looking a little lonely, isn't it always like this these past few years?For their own purposes, they have to hurt others unnecessarily.
————————————————————
Mei Changsu posted a message inviting Xiao Jingrui, Yan Yujin, Xie Bi and others to have a gathering.
Just after the new year, all the teenagers pretended to be reserved, holding back for such a long time, when they saw the post, they all shouted in their hearts, and went to the appointment excitedly.
"Fei Liu is one year older. This little face is a sign. In the next year, if you say that your eldest brother will be the first, you will be able to be the second." Yan Yujin teased Fei Liu with a smile, "I will take you out in a few days. What are you doing here so bored?"
Xiao Jingrui always liked to talk to Yan Yujin, and hearing what he said was not serious, he hurriedly said, "Brother Su, you still don't know the nature of Yujin. Are you afraid that what you took out was Feiliu, and you brought it back as 'Merry'?"
Xie Bishun continued to laugh at Yujin, "'Merry'? I'm afraid it has become 'dirty'."
"What are you talking about? You're clearly jealous of my chic and suave appearance." Yujin glanced at them, raised his chin, and looked arrogant.
"Yan Yujin, your skin is itchy, aren't you, looking for a beating!" Xiao Jingrui didn't talk nonsense, he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to start a beating.
Mei Changsu watched them fight, "It's been a while since I saw you fighting each other, let me see your progress today."
Yan Yujin's martial arts are not bad, but he is a nobleman after all, so he is not very refined after all. On the contrary, Xiao Jingrui's set of swordsmanship is smooth and flowing, which is quite tasteful.
"Jingrui's sword technique is quite exquisite." Mei Changsu praised.
Xiao Jingrui was wiping his sweat, blushing a little at Mei Changsu's admiration, and hurriedly said modestly, "I only know superficially, Brother Su, but I know that my eldest brother from the Zhuo family, Zhuo Qingyao, is known for his superb swordsmanship."
"The reputation of Hero Zhuo has been rumored in Jianghu for a long time. Will they return to Pingzuo this time after the first lunar month?" Mei Changsu blew on his teacup, and the rising mist softened his entire face.
Xiao Jingrui shook his head, with a joyful smile on his face, "Sister Qi is pregnant, brother Yanghe Qingyao will stay with her, and he probably won't leave until mid-April."
"Congratulations, you kid is going to be an uncle, or is it an uncle?" Yujin patted Xiao Jingrui on the shoulder.
"Brother Su, do you know the reason why they didn't leave until mid-April?" Yujin said while winking.
"Huh? Could it be that there are some important days in April?" Mei Changsu guessed when he saw Yan Yujin's condition.
Jing Rui glared at Yujin, and said with some embarrassment, "It's just that everyone wants to get together more..."
"Brother Su, you can tell by Jing Rui's expression that April may have something to do with Jing Rui."
Mei Changsu raised his eyebrows, and he knew what they were talking about, "Is it Jingrui's birthday? When is it?"
"April [-]th, Brother Su must come to join in the fun." Seeing that Mei Changsu had guessed it, Yujin added quickly.
"Speaking of which, I don't know Yujin's birthday yet. Why don't Yujin tell me?"
"The seventh day of the seventh month, brother Su, my mother said that people born on this day value affection the most. I think he only values affection for girls." Jing Rui had a chance to fight back, and answered Mei Changsu first.
Yujin was not ashamed of it, and looked at Mei Changsu with sparkling eyes, "Brother Su, will you come for my birthday?"
Seeing Mei Changsu nodding, he added brazenly, "Brother Su's congratulations will not be less, right?"
"Yan Yujin, you have a thick skin. No one would come to ask for a birthday gift." Xiao Jingrui couldn't understand him, and choked.
"Brother Su is different from the others, so Brother Su won't blame me, right?" Yu Jin grinned, out of shape.
"I can't beat you, I can't beat you, look at the sword!" Xiao Jingrui saw that Yan Yujin couldn't talk about it, so he immediately used force.Xie Bi and the others tried to persuade them to fight, but they didn't want them to make a fuss. They had long forgotten the original intention of trying to persuade them to fight, and they joined the battle and started fighting in full swing.
☆、Change death row
Days passed, and apart from the rumors of a long-haired monster, the palace was peaceful inside and outside.
Meng Zhi listened to Mei Changsu's advice and became more careful about the defense of the palace. In just ten days, two cases were caught.Often shocked, the fan case personnel came in from the outside and pretended to be the inner prisoner. Hearing this news, Emperor Liang reprimanded the queen.The other six houses are still in peace.
Mei Changsu learned from Xiao Jingrui that Zhuo Qingyao would stay here until mid-April, so he secretly sent experts to follow him, hoping to find any clues.Zhuo Qingyao is also very cautious, when he feels someone is following him, he doesn't dare to act rashly.In this way, it seems that the past few days have been a peaceful and prosperous world.
"Princess, He Wenxin's sentence is coming." Xiao Liu came to report.
"Huh? Has King Yu arranged for someone to replace him?" Jun Li lazily responded.
"Everyone has been replaced. He Wenxin has been taken out by his father and placed in another hospital."
"Send the clues to Xie Yu, be careful, and don't let them get caught by the Ministry of Criminal Justice." Jun Li looked at Xiao Liu, and said word by word, "The Ministry of Criminal Justice has no knowledge of this matter, it's all a vain attempt to hide it from the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Crossing the sea, the Ministry of Criminal Justice immediately sent people to investigate after discovering that the death row prisoner had been replaced, but the money did not dare to act rashly without finding any clues. Do you know?"
"This subordinate understands." Xiao Liu made a bad smile, this is to ask the prince and Yuwanggou to bite the dog.
So the day of the execution was a farce. When the judge was about to issue a decapitation order, Xie Yu raised his voice to stop, "My lord, are you sure the identity of the culprit is correct?"
The judge had already been bribed by King Yu, so he gritted his teeth and refused to change his words, but since Marquis Ning Guo questioned it, the Ministry of Criminal Justice couldn't execute the sentence hastily.
During the stalemate, several carriages rushed to the execution ground, and Jun Li got off the leading carriage. Seeing the expected situation, she pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What happened?"
After the people from the Criminal Department informed the matter, Jun Li smiled hypocritically and bowed to Xie Yu, "Thank you, Lord Hou, for maintaining order for me. I have led everyone in the Criminal Department to find out that it is not He Wenxin who is currently in the execution ground."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar. Jun Li was very happy to see the scene he had caused, and clapped his hands lightly, "Bring people down."
A man was dragged out from the rear carriage, and his face seemed to be that of He Wenxin!
Naturally, He Jingzhong would not admit that that was his son, and only said that it was the one on the scene.
Seeing that they refused to admit it, Jun Li sighed, "I wanted to save some face for Mr. Minister, but if you don't admit it, some people will admit what they have done." As he spoke, he pulled a few more people from the carriage. The head, and the relative who took the place of the dead ghost.
On behalf of the relatives of the dead ghost, they rushed to the stage and cried a few times, and the people on the stage immediately shouted, "I am not a death row prisoner! I don't want to die..."
Now that everything is clear, Uncle Wen Yuan was so angry that he immediately went to the palace to complain to the king. Jun Li asked people to monitor the situation and went to the court with Uncle Wen Yuan.
The emperor was furious when he heard this absurd thing, and soon dealt with the case of changing the death row: He Jingzhong was dismissed and demoted to the governor of Yuezhou.The judge Qi Min ignored the king's law, abused his power, was dismissed and sentenced to exile.The people in the Ministry of Punishment did not do enough to supervise, but rescued them in time, and fined them with one month's salary as an example.
The many officials involved in this case were demoted and punished, and Yu Wang was so angry that he jumped to his feet, gnashing his teeth at Xie Yu, hating him to the bone.
The prince seized this opportunity and wanted to send people to the bureaucracy, but Yu Wang refused to give up an inch, and lost a confidant general, how could he let the prince's manpower be placed in his department.
On the contrary, in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Jun Li pulled out all the people who had been intruded by the crown prince and King Yu, and inadvertently mentioned to Emperor Liang that Prince Jing had done a good job in handling the land invasion case. Called, asked a few words, and found a talent, so he was assigned to the Ministry of punishment to fill the vacancy.
This time the crown prince and Yu Wang fought, it can be said that both sides suffered losses.
☆, explosion
"This year is really an eventful year." Jun Li held a piece of paper in his hand and turned his head to look out of the window and sighed, his eyes were full of interest, "This King Yu has indeed done great things, this hand is really beautiful."
The □□ stored in the private artillery room exploded unexpectedly, involving nearly [-] households, causing heavy casualties.
"What's going on now?"
"Less say more than 150 people died. The Jingzhao Yamen is counting the exact number. The casualties are close to [-]. The fire was barely suppressed and did not continue to spread. Prince Jing heard the news and led his troops to maintain order at the scene and distribute supplies." The officials of the Ministry of Punishment knelt respectfully. On the ground, answer word by word.
"Is there no decree yet?" Junli heard Prince Jing's eyes move slightly, and soon returned to calm.
"Not yet, it seems that I want to suppress it for the prince."
"Suppress it? Yu Wang disregarded the lives of the people, just to make things worse, so that the prince can never turn over again, how could he lightly expose it?" Jun Li sneered when he heard this, his eyes were filled with disgust, "The prince and Yu Wang are really Your Majesty's child is equally vicious."
The officials kneeling below wished they could plug their ears. This is not something a petty official like me can hear!
"Go down, let the people from the Ministry of Punishment also go to rescue the disaster, and assist King Jing." Jun Li saw the cold sweat dripping from his subordinates, and finally let go, "Do you know what to say and what not to say?"
"This subordinate understands." The man nodded his head hurriedly, he didn't even bother to wipe off his sweat, he bowed and left.
Jun Li thought for a while by herself, then covered the darkness in her eyes, this was something she couldn't control, and couldn't control.
It's about the three princes. On the surface, he is a lonely and pure minister, to avoid Emperor Liang's suspicion. This kind of thing can be avoided as soon as possible. Someone will do it.
Jun Li can avoid it, but Mei Changsu can't watch so many people lose their lives for nothing.
As soon as Mei Changsu heard about it, he immediately sent someone to thoroughly investigate Yu Wang. No one could make such a big disturbance without leaving any traces.
"Fei Liu, do you want to go out with Brother Su?" Mei Changsu was unsteady, and finally decided to go out and have a look.
Fei Liu nodded happily, and put Mei Changsu's mink fur coat on him.
Walking to the destination, Mei Changsu heard the smell of burning from a distance, recalling the fire that burned everything in him many years ago, his hands slowly tightened, and veins popped out.
"Brother Su?" Fei Liu was the most sensitive to emotions, and when he realized something was wrong, he hurriedly looked at Mei Changsu.
"Brother Su is fine, I just remembered some bad things." Mei Changsu stroked his head soothingly, but no smile appeared on his pale face.
"Mr. Su is here? Mr. Su's news is really well-informed." Prince Jing was supervising the soldiers' dispersal of supplies. He looked back at Mei Changsu and went back to help the injured people.
Mei Changsu watched the bandaged but still bleeding people line up orderly to receive food, military doctors and supplies tents lined up neatly by the road, and sighed, "His Royal Highness Prince Jing has worked hard."
"The prince was impeached for corruption a few days ago, and then the private gun room he managed exploded again. Does Mr. Su think this is a coincidence?" Prince Jing looked straight at Mei Changsu, "Prince Yu, in order to hit the prince harder, Doing such a cruel and inhumane thing, I wonder if Mr. Su participated in it?"
Mei Changsu knew that it was understandable for Prince Jing to be suspicious, after all, in his mind, he was just a strategist who studied treacherous schemes.But anger rose uncontrollably in his heart, how could he, how could he speculate like this? !
"Although I am an unscrupulous person, I can't do such a heartless thing!" Mei Changsu forced himself to endure, but still couldn't bear the pain in his heart, and uttered this sentence.
☆, kiss
Hearing Mei Changsu's angry voice, King Jing also knew that he had wronged him. Looking at Mei Changsu's pale face, Xiao Jingyan couldn't express the apology in his heart, so he could only remain silent.
"Your Highness does not need to report the misappropriation of military funds to the military department. The bigger the disturbance, the better."
"Why? It stands to reason that the military department should be notified if military funds are embezzled. Aren't you afraid that I will be included in a book?"
"The ministers are all staring at the Crown Prince and King Yu, so who pays attention to what His Highness is doing? If there is no trouble like this, who will notice how much His Highness has done for this incident?"
"Mr. Su is really good at planning." Xiao Jingyan snorted coldly, he was not a person who used his good deeds to win people's hearts.
"Everything you do has its usefulness. If Su can't make the best use of what His Highness has done, Su will be a counselor for nothing." Mei Changsu's tone was sharp and his anger was not calmed down.
The two broke up unhappy. Although they had reached a consensus, Prince Jing and Mei Changsu were at opposite ends of the basic attitude towards this matter.
The case of the bombing of the private cannon house has clear clues, and the police cannot excuse the prince.A few days later, Emperor Liang made a decree: the prince moved to Guijia Palace, and he was not allowed to intervene in court affairs. Nearly [-] officials, large and small, involved in the case were punished to varying degrees.
On the contrary, King Jing resettled the victims in time and won several compliments from Emperor Liang.
————————————————————
Da Chu sent people to marry, and Jing Ning was the only princess of the right age.It seems that Jing Ning's marriage is inevitable, but Jing Ning already has a sweetheart in his heart, and he is unwilling to live or die.
Emperor Liang was troubled by his wayward little daughter, so he had no choice but to ask Junli to enter the palace to relieve her.
"Get out! I don't want to eat! Get out! I don't want to see you!" As soon as Jing Ning saw someone coming, he immediately saw things thrown from the table, forcing the visitor to stand at the door. "I don't want to marry! I want to see Grandma Tai, Grandma Tai will definitely not let me marry so far away, I don't want to marry!"
Jun Li waved a snow-white feather fan, looked at Princess Jingning's madness in the room, sneered, and waved for the guards to tie the princess up.
"Presumptuous, I'm a princess, how can you treat me like this! Let me go! Let me go!" Jing Ning didn't expect that they would do it to him, struggling desperately, how could he beat several adults.
Seeing that Jing Ning had stopped, Jun Li stepped into the house. "Princess Jingning? Look at you, don't you look like a princess now? You're just like a street shrew!"
Jun Li pretended not to see Jing Ning's unwilling, desperate, and angry eyes, and pressed her fan handle against her chin, raised her head slightly, and looked directly into her eyes, "I don't want to marry? You know what you said How ridiculous? As a princess, don't you know that even if you don't get married this time, your marriage is destined not to be your own decision. "
"I know, but I'm not reconciled. Why must I be the one who gets married?" Jing Ning said in a tearful voice.
"Then who do you want? The four princesses of the clan are all disabled and cannot marry outsiders. As for Princess Mingjue of Li Wang's family, she has already been engaged to the Nangong family. It is impossible for His Majesty to offend Li Wang and the Nangong family just because of you." Yes." Jun Li's light words shattered Jing Ning's hopes.
"What about you? You are also the princess!" Jing Ning's eyes were red, and she looked at Jun Li with a ferocious face.
"Me? This princess is in charge of the Ministry of Punishment. I am an important minister in the court. I want to marry out? What's more, my father and elder brother are all heroes who died for the country. It is even more impossible for your majesty to disappoint the military officials of the court for you, a mere princess." Heart." Jun Li looked at Jing Ning, his eyes were calm and unwavering, this time he came here only at the order of Emperor Liang, to persuade Princess Jing Ning to marry outside, as for the method, it doesn't matter, does it?
Jing Ning was stunned for a while, and finally buried his face in his hands and wept.
Seeing that the princess had already figured it out, Jun Li didn't stay soon.Back in the mansion, for some reason, thinking of Jing Ning crying again, he sighed slowly.
Without ability, you can only be at the mercy of others.Jing Ning is the best example. If you hadn't taken power early, I'm afraid you will be the one who made the marriage this time. Jun Li, remember that if you are not ruthless, others will be more ruthless to you.
The author has something to say: I am too lazy to write an article, and now the manuscript is zero.It is estimated that this article will be delayed... -_-||
☆, faith
The crown prince was banned, and King Jing's superficial strength was not enough to compete with King Yu. It can be said that King Yu is proud of his spring breeze, and his grace and power in the court are getting stronger. There are even rumors that His Highness Yuwang will soon become His Highness the Crown Prince.
Jun Li just smiled at these rumors. Emperor Liang would not allow his son to climb on top of his head. These rumors are just rumors and cannot become true.
"My lord, Miaoyinfang has started to recruit Hongxiu." Anbu likes to gossip when he has nothing to do. After finding out that Mei Changsu sent someone to recruit Hongxiu, he immediately came to report, "Master, why do you think Qin Banruo is helping?" King Yu has achieved great success, isn't she going to restore the country?"
Jun Li glanced at him meaningfully, "Have you never heard a saying that men conquer the world and women conquer men. King Yu can't control Qin Banruo, that woman has great ambitions, but it's a pity that she doesn't have the wisdom to match her ambitions. Let's not do it this time, since Miaoyin Pavilion is doing it, let them do it."
"Yes." An Qi rolled his eyes, a little regretful that he could not continue to listen to gossip, and bowed and backed away.
"Princess, it's time for you to take your medicine." Ting Yu knew that the matter was settled when she saw the person quit, and hurried in with the medicine that had been heated several times.
Looking at the dark medicine, Jun Li frowned fiercely, "Is this thing edible?"
"Princess, you have been drinking since childhood, why are you still so afraid of taking medicine?" Ting Yu felt helpless, the older the princess, the more self-willed, in the past few years drinking medicine did not need coaxing, now it is too difficult to let her take a sip of medicine Yes, if no one is watching, she will definitely not drink.
"Ting Yu, it's not that I don't drink it, it's just that drinking this medicine is useless." Jun Li lowered her eyelids and said slowly and softly.
Grief appeared in Ting Yu's eyes, and he quickly forced himself to be "Princess, you can live longer if you drink the medicine. You can see Mr. Su's revenge, see him get married, have children, and live happily ever after. This is not what you have always been. A wish from the past?"
"Listen to the rain, I'm so tired. I hope he has a good life, but I also hope that he has a bad life. I think he will be alone all his life, and I don't want any woman to approach him, and I secretly tell myself that this is wrong. Brother deserves the best." Jun Li covered her face to hide all the ferocity on her face, she didn't want anyone to see her embarrassed and ugly side now.
"Princess, forgive Ting Yu for saying something disrespectful. Ting Yu doesn't understand why you are not with him. Since you like him, why aren't you together?" Ting Yu has served Junli since she was a child, and knows what she has done for him.
"Ting Yu, I can't tell whether I love him or not. For me, my feelings for him are far more complicated than love. He is my belief in living and the only one I have endured for so many years. Support, I don't know what kind of person he is in your eyes, but in my eyes, in my world, he is the best, so dazzling that I can't touch it, I can only look at it from a distance, holding everything together Come before his eyes." Jun Li's eyes were slightly red, revealing the most paranoid and humble side of her heart.
That's right, in Jun Li's eyes, she is not worthy of Lin Shu at all, because that is her belief.
Princess!Ting Yu didn't know how to answer, and felt aching in his heart, "Princess, you deserve the best in Ting Yu's heart."
After speaking, she rushed out the door, afraid that if she continued to speak, she would not be able to help but cry.
Ting Yu didn't tell others what she said. Many years later, she was married and had children, and she still couldn't help crying when she thought of what the old master said on that bright afternoon.
It's a pity that things are different and people are different, leaving memories in vain
☆, birthday
Time passed in a hurry, and Xiao Jingrui's birthday came in a blink of an eye.Since Mei Changsu and Miss Gong Yu from Miaoyinfang were going to come this time, Xiao Jingrui did not invite the friends who were drinking and meat from previous years, but invited a few serious ones such as Xia Dong and Meng Zhi.
"Miss Gong Yu is here, please come in quickly." Xiao Jingrui greeted the guests at the door, and when he saw Yan Yujin coming in with a woman wearing a fence, he quickly stood up and smiled.
"Why does the birthday star only welcome Miss Gong Yu? Didn't he see me?" Yujin glared at Xiao Jingrui, twisted his neck and said stubbornly.
"Welcome if you are far away, welcome if you are far away, Mr. Yan, please come in quickly." Jing Rui cupped his hands and said
