At the gate of Anhua City, Li Chongjiu sent two carriages into the city, and after the prince of Qi Wang Heng completely left, he saw the brother-in-law who was still frowning beside him, and he was angry. [No pop-ups.]

As soon as he raised his hand, Du Xinran's gaze looked over, and the eyes of the young man in front of him were cold and arrogant. Li Chongjiu has understood this gaze many times, and he has summed up what he means: he will not resist his brother-in-law, but he will never give in because of force.

It didn't work, scolding him, he had ten sentences waiting there, and this brother-in-law was very principled, and he couldn't find fault with him.

But sometimes just because you can't pick out isn't that doesn't mean you're right.

Just like this thing today.

His brother-in-law is not ordinary stubborn in terms of human sophistication.

"Alas~" Li Chongjiu sighed heavily, and put down his raised palm, "You go back to rest tonight, starting tomorrow, you go to the Imperial City Military Department to report, and I will find you another job with a relationship." This is not for you. ”

"Unreasonable. ”

When Li Chongjiu turned around and was about to leave, the words of his brother-in-law suddenly came from behind him. He turned around and looked at Du Xinran, unhappy in his heart, but looking at his determined appearance, he wanted to hear what the other party wanted to say.

The young guard took his brother-in-law's silence as a tacit acquiescence and glanced at the direction in which the carriage was going: "They were originally friends of Prince Heng of the Qi Palace, and the tokens of the Qi Palace, which I showed me, are only an ambiguous proof, and there is no way to prove that these people are guests of the Qi Palace, so there is a possibility of doing something wrong." ”

"That kind of letter was originally written by the palace to facilitate the entry and exit of his subordinates, and it is normal for the content to be very vague. Li Chongjiu was very familiar with the three doorway functions of Anhuamen, and directly refuted his brother-in-law's words, "If you are on duty in the middle doorway, you will see a lot of such last tokens in one day." ”

"But they didn't tell the truth next," Du Xinran was still unconvinced, standing in place and confronting his brother-in-law, not falling behind in the slightest, "They said they came from Xijing, but from their carriage and clothing, it is obvious that it is the style of Julu County!"

"Words and deeds do not match, deeds are suspicious, is it wrong for me to detain them?!"

Du Xinran was very unconvinced by this, and the tone of his question was very cold and hard, and his brother-in-law was silent for a moment.

"It's been carefully observed, but did you notice some omissions in your inferences?"

After Li Chongjiu was silent, the temperament of the whole person changed, and the divine light that came out of his eyes was straight to Du Xinran, which made him feel a little flustered.

"You only saw the vague tokens and carriage costumes they took out, but did you ever think that they could indeed come from Xijing, make a detour to Julu halfway, and finally come to Shen'an City?"

Du Xinran bowed his head silently, he really didn't take this into account.

"Yes, you're doing it right, but if you don't do it right, it means you didn't do it wrong. The bearded strong man was kind to his brother-in-law, "For the sake of safety, you are right to detain them, but you didn't expect them to claim to be from the Qi Palace!"

Li Chongjiu hated that iron could not become steel, and taught Du Xinran bitterly.

"It's not been a day or two since you came to Shen'an City, what is the status of the Qi Palace, don't you know if you don't know? Even if his behavior is a little suspicious, won't you fake your words and delay it, and secretly invite the people of the Qi Palace?"

"Okay, look at you, coldly and directly let Heng Gongzi wait here, and wait for half an hour, fortunately it is Heng Gongzi who is generous, if you change to other princes and nobles, he can point at your nose and scold you if you are a little neglectful?"

"If you've been through this kind of battle, do you have to take it on the spot and throw it into prison according to your temper?"

"Do you want a future, do you want your life?" Li Chongjiu asked Du Xinran, "Huh?!"

Du Xinran had already realized the flaws in his thinking, but he felt aggrieved about this matter: "I asked someone to go to the Qi Palace......

"Huh?" Li Chongjiu was a little unconvinced, but thinking that Du Xinran never lied, so there must be a secret in it, and his anger dropped by three points in an instant, "Then how could that deputy chief Wang run directly to find me?"

"I don't know, I asked Xiao Wang to change his clothes and go to the Qi Palace's Mansion to ask people," Du Xinran looked at the brothers on night duty and confirmed, "But he hasn't come back yet." ”

"Haven't come back yet?"

Li Chongjiu repeated, his face suddenly changed, and he pulled his brother-in-law to ride a horse and rushed to the Qi Palace.

Halfway through, I saw Xiao Wang, the guard who went to inform the palace, on the side of the road, drunk and unconscious.

When Xiao Wang fell to the ground drunk, his head was facing the direction of Anhuamen, and it was obvious that he had fallen on the way back from the palace. Li Chongjiu knows Xiao Wang's character, he has a gentle temperament, and he doesn't like to drink much, let alone get drunk when he is on a mission.

This must be the person who reported the news with a wine R after knowing that his son-in-law was detained outside the door, and ran over and directly pulled himself to release him, so as to put himself in a weak position, and let himself owe the other party a personal favor.

"This guy!" Li Chongjiu suddenly remembered the look in his eyes before leaving, and his teeth itched with hatred, "It's really a scum!"

……

Xu Bojian is a slut, this is recognized in the royal management circle, but being called scum is the first time he has been crowned on his head.

But Xu Bojian didn't know that he already had a new name, and at this time, he had just welcomed Xu Heng and his party into the Qi Palace.

After entering the Anhua Gate, go straight to the north, walk through to the Xingping Street opposite the Yanping Gate in the west and the Yanxing Gate in the east, turn to the east, cross the Zhuque Street behind the Mingde Gate and then go four streets, turn to the north, and enter Wanghou Lane.

The two carriages traveled for a long time among the various luxurious mansions, and when they came to a humble portal in the deepest part, they stopped.

Inconspicuous is only inconspicuous compared to the mansions along the road. The door of the three bays is tall and mighty, the pillars of the two carved dragons and phoenixes are precious and gorgeous, the decoration of pouring gold and gilt silver is majestic and magnificent, and there is a big plaque on the door that splashes ink, and the three big characters of "Qi Wangfu" are written on it. This kind of mansion will be a first-class high-ranking mansion in an ordinary place, but it is not enough to see it when it is placed here in Wanghou Street, Shen'an City, Huangjing.

But no one cared about this, at this time the gate of the palace was already open, and the lights inside were bright, and five retainers with different postures were standing in front of the door, waiting for the return of their young master.

Seeing the familiar scene and the familiar people, Xu Heng felt emotional and moved in his heart, hugged Shangguan Tingxue, lifted the curtain of the carriage, leaned in, and said to the woman in Tsing Yi who happened to open her eyes: "Get off, I'm home." ”
