After the investigation by the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Criminal Department, Yang Longxing was not guilty of homicide, but was only involved in improper work style and corrupt conduct, and was removed from his post and dismissed.

At the end of July, a few days before the end of the "service order", he spent half of his net worth to donate the "service order", returned to the court, and made a second-grade household secretary.

It was reviewed by Gu Qingxuan, the emperor personally approved, and many people in the court pleaded for him to intercede and sponsor.

After going around in circles, although he was not reinstated, he was only demoted by one level, and he was still his big official.

After he was removed, the position of the right secretary was vacant, and the imperial history platform recommended Dong Yehong, the original secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and after some court discussions, Chen Jingxing agreed to promote Dong Yehong to the right secretary in charge of the three departments of soldiers, industry and punishment.

The left Si Cheng is Du Wanwei, and the right Si Cheng is Dong Yehong, so far, the two Si Cheng who are in charge of the six departments have been replaced by people who make Sangu satisfied.

Yin Jiheng vigorously implemented the new policy of governing business, which needed to be based on the household department, and there was no one in the household department before, and the newly established "Zhenye Division" had little effect, and most of the heavy burden was still counting on the political affairs hall.

Now it is really suitable to put Yang Longxing in the household department, after all, the most difficult errand has to be borne by the most shameless person.

Gu Qingxuan let Yin Jiheng see this benefit, and only then did he pass his level and save Yang Longxing. But in fact, Yang Longxing is under the control of Sangu, which means that the household department is also under their control.

Regarding Yang Longxing's reinstatement, Yin Qixiu was the most difficult to accept.

In his opinion, Luo Hongge's case was not investigated at all, and just when he was full of ambition and ready to investigate deeply, Yin Jiheng and Gu Qingxuan waved their hands and asked him to terminate the case, only convicting Qin Hongmo of suicide.

They don't care what the truth of the case is, they just need to use the case for their own benefit, maybe they know the truth of the case best, so they know best at which step the investigation should end.

Yin Qixiu felt that he, the squire of the Criminal Department, was completely a puppet.

No, he was not willing to give in.

……

The four teams of the Criminal Department went to the Imperial Historical Terrace, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Rites, and the Imperial Forest Barracks respectively, and handed over the same summons order to the four members of the Gu family.

Gu Qingxuan was the first to go outside the official office of the Criminal Department, and did not go in directly, until Gu Qingning, Gu Qinghuan, and Gu Qingfeng came, and he asked them to wait.

After receiving the summons order from the Criminal Department to inquire about the case, Sangu had already guessed that the fact that they went to Luo Hongge that day was suspected by the Criminal Department. And Gu Qingfeng still didn't know why, when he came here and saw that they were all there, he asked strangely: "Father, why did the Criminal Department summon us for trial? Could it be related to Luo Hongge's case?"

Gu Qingxuan pulled his children aside and said, "Come to think of it, who let us appear in Luo Hongge that day? Anyway, the matter has come to this point, you must remember one thing, we must not admit that we have been to Luo Hongge, otherwise whether it has anything to do with the murder or not, it will invite disaster, Yang Longxing is the best example. ”

The three children all understood, Gu Qingning and Gu Qinghuan were curious about who would prove them, and Gu Qingfeng was a little annoyed, he didn't expect that he would be greedy for fun that day, and he would also leave such a hidden danger, and sure enough, the officialdom was sinister and could not be taken lightly.

"But, father, who are we waiting for?" Gu Qingfeng asked.

Listening to the sound of carriages getting closer and closer on the official road, Gu Qingxuan smiled, "Here, let's go, let's go to the trial first." ”

So the four members of the Gu family no longer stayed outside the official office of the Criminal Department, but walked to the lobby with the Judicial Department.

At this time, he was sitting upright in the criminal trial hall, setting up his position, holding a staff on the left and right, ready to start the trial.

When you enter the criminal trial hall after receiving a summons order, there is no distinction between high and low official ranks, and only the chief judge is the supreme judge in this court, even the innocent people should abide by this rule.

Yin Qixiu looked at the Gu family who were not shocked, his eyes met Gu Qinghuan, and he felt complicated in his heart, he clearly realized that this might be a very clear watershed, and from now on, they would no longer be close friends.

But he had to.

The four members of the Gu family went to the hall and prepared to salute according to the rules, but before they knelt down, they heard the sound of gongs from outside, five times, which was the order of Shangguan to enter the ministry to inspect.

Everyone turned around and watched Prime Minister Yin Jiheng walk in from the outside, with a group of subordinates beside him, and the battle was huge and formal.

When the others saw this, they hurriedly greeted each other with official salutes, Yin Qixiu in the hall was a little stunned, and also guessed why Yin Jiheng was here, and couldn't help glaring at Gu Qingxuan.

After receiving the criminal department's summons order, Gu Qingxuan sent someone to send the summons to the political hall adjacent to the Yushitai, Yin Jiheng understood at a glance that Gu Qingxuan was tantamount to saying to him, "Take care of your son."

Gu Qingxuan needed him to come forward to stop Yin Qixiu, he could only come, but he couldn't dissuade him on the surface, so he came to the Criminal Department with great fanfare on the pretext of inspecting the daily affairs of the six official offices to interrupt this interrogation.

At the same time that Yin Qixiu glared at Gu Qingxuan, Yin Jiheng was also glaring at him quietly, and when he entered the lobby, the inspectors of the Political Affairs Hall announced the inspection of the various departments of the Criminal Department, Yin Jiheng saw the Gu family and said with a smile: "Ah, today is really a coincidence, why is it so neat? The whole family has come to the Criminal Department to drink tea? Gu Zhongcheng?"

Gu Qingxuan also laughed hypocritically with him, and said, "Ling Lang, oh, Lord Lang of the Criminal Department has been invited, and the lower official has to come." ”

Yin Qixiu stood there stiffly, looking at this group of people indignantly, and was glared back by Yin Jiheng with a cold look.

Yin Jiheng patted Gu Qingxuan's shoulder enthusiastically: "Gu Zhongcheng, it's okay to come to the Criminal Department, just don't go to the wrong place." ”

The implication of the threat was obvious, Gu Qingxuan only didn't realize it, and said: "The official is busy, so I don't have time to hang out." Don't disturb the prime minister's inspection, and the lower officials are waiting for the prime minister at the imperial history platform. ”

Gu Qinghuan said to Yin Qi in the hall: "Lord Shilang, since the Prime Minister has come to make a tour, this trial will come to an end today, right?

Yin Qixiu glanced at them coldly, looked directly at Yin Jiheng, and did not speak.

Yin Jiheng waved his hand: "You go by yourself." ”

The four members of the Gu family bowed their heads in unison and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister." ”

After the Gu family left, Yin Qixiu dispersed the rest of the criminal department in the hall, and the subordinates of the political affairs hall were patrolling outside, and only Yin Jiheng and him were left in the hall.

Yin Jiheng approached him, anger appeared on his face, and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Yin Qixiu took out his squire seal and opened it in front of him, "I will hand over the seal and resign!"

Yin Jiheng was angry, and greeted him with a slap: "Bastard!"

Yin Qixiu had no fear, and said straightly: "Father, are you the prime minister, or is he Gu Qingxuan the prime minister! Why are you protecting him everywhere? The Gu family is ambitious! Unscrupulous means! Father, why do you have to tolerate them!"

He was impassioned, Yin Jiheng was not so angry, patted the red palm print on his face, regretted that he was heavy, and said calmly: "You know that their wolf ambitions are unscrupulous, I'm afraid you don't know......"

Yin Qixiu was a little stunned, the fire in his heart was suddenly cut off by Yin Jiheng, and he couldn't react: "Father......"

Yin Jiheng casually closed the lid of the box with the seal of the waiter on the case, and looked at Yin Qixiu up close: "It's useless for you to deal with people like them." Can't you be a little patient, you fool, or do you want to spoil your father's big things?"

Yin Qi cultivated: "No, father, the child just wants to do what my criminal department servant should do, handle the case impartially, and now there is evidence to prove that the Gu family is related to Luo Hongge's case, I don't want to bend the law for personal gain and pretend not to know ......."

"Qi Xiu, you should understand that now is not the time to be able to do what you want, and the justice you insist on has to be let go. Now that your father needs to take care of the family, you can't do anything with them, let alone have evidence to prove that they are suspicious, even if you see them kill someone, you have to pretend not to know. He said bluntly.

Yin Qixiu was shocked: "Father, this is too much, isn't it?"

"It's not too much, it's not too much for the Yin family! The Gu family is a knife in the hands of his father, do you understand? What they are doing now is beneficial to themselves and even more beneficial to our Yin family, otherwise how can I tolerate him?" Yin Jiheng was a little angry, his eyes were full of hatred, this was hatred for the Gu family, and it was hatred that had been hidden for a long time under the hypocritical appearance.

Yin Qixiu understood Yin Jiheng's forbearance, and he was silent.

Yin Jiheng looked at his son, as if to calm his heart, and said the truth, "When we are unprofitable, it will be time for you to do whatever you want, son, understand? Bear with it! ”

Yin Qixiu didn't feel relieved because of this, he looked at Yin Jiheng and said indifferently: "If this knife is used, will it hurt us?"

Yin Jiheng smiled contemptuously, full of confidence, "Impossible, my father will never give it a chance to return to the blade." ”

……

On the day when Luo Hongge lifted the blockade, the people from the Criminal Department went to the scene of the case to finish up, and Yin Qixiu also went.

"I'm disappointed in you. ”

When he came to the back garden, he was alone in a trance, when he was caught off guard by the voice that impressed him.

Sure enough, here she is.

But how should he face her with this result?

Yin Qixiu turned around and looked at her sharp eyes timidly: "I'm sorry, I'm helpless...... But I'm not going to give up, sooner or later, sooner or later I'll tear off their masks and reveal the truths that are hidden by them......"

She walked up to him, looked at his evasive and secretly determined eyes at this time, and asked herself, should I believe him?

She is no longer the eldest lady who only shouts and asks questions at the door, she has also learned to be patient, she has a deeper plan, which happens to coincide with what he said.

"Squire-sama, are you here for me?"

Suddenly there was a smile, and the previous quality was suspected to be that there was no trace of water, and he didn't care about it.

Torture, interrogation, torture, extortion of confessions...... He is an expert, but at this moment, the roles are reversed, and he will not answer such a simple question from the person in front of him.

"Miss Qingzhi ......"

For today's meeting, the most beautiful girl in her school put on charming makeup, swayed the lazy falling ponytail with silver silk and jade beads, a brocade long skirt, draped in sara and silk, stood in front of him, with a moving demeanor, and slowly raised her hand to touch his lips with her green fingers: "I am not Qingzhi." ”

"I don't have that name, it's my ...... I said to lie to you"

He was stunned, his gaze froze with her movements, "Then who are you?"

"Yuan Xin!"

Fang Gu walked out of the pavilion, looked at the two people who were intimate and ambiguous here, and called out "very uninterestingly" to interrupt the contact between the two.

Yin Qixiu was startled for a moment, and because of his upbringing, he subconsciously took a step back, his eyes still fluttering on Lu Yuansi.

Fang Gu shook her fan, twisted her amorous waist, paced here, and smiled at Yin Qixiu half-flatteringly, "Isn't Lord Yin here for work?

Yin Qixiu was weak-hearted, tilted his head, and said with a straight face: "This official is here to take testimony from this girl, so that he can accept the case." ”

Fang Gu has seen how much Fengyue has happened, how can his careful thinking escape her eyes, she deliberately nudged Lu Yuansi, and said strangely: "You girl, don't hinder the adult's case, we still count on reopening sooner." Don't think crookedly, this Lord Yin is a serious official, and he can't be your benefactor, so you better go and pack up and wait for a good price tomorrow. ”

Lu Yuansi shook his face, biting his lip with tears, stubborn and pitiful.

Fang Gu smiled at Yin Qixiu again: "Lord Yin, don't mind, this girl has just entered the pavilion, she is not sensible, she can't look at people, don't listen to her nonsense." ”

Yin Qixiu looked at Lu Yuansi, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, and he didn't give up. He still remembered her spicy and savage appearance that night, and felt even more sorry for her to be so wronged, so he struggled in his heart, looked at Aunt Fang, took out a stack of silver tickets from the cuff of his official uniform, and stuffed it to her: "I'm not a person who often comes to your pastime, I don't know the price in your pavilion, but this silver should be enough in exchange for me and this girl to be alone for a while, right?"

Seeing that Qian's eyes were open, Fang Gu held the silver ticket tightly, smiled, and nodded: "Of course, of course! ”

Fang Gu leaned into Lu Yuansi's ear and whispered: "You have to serve well, this is the prime minister's son, a four-grade official, coax him, and sell it in." ”

She was so interested at this time that she retreated, "Don't worry, Aunt Fang, I won't talk nonsense to the outside world, if your subordinates ask, I will say that you have left, you just have fun here......"

Yin Qixiu was a little ashamed, he really didn't like these things, and he wouldn't deal with people like Fang Gu.

After Aunt Fang left, there were only two of them left in the courtyard, but there would be others coming and going at this time, so he asked her, "Miss Yuanxin, is there a place to talk?"

Lu Yuansi, who was facing away from him, bit her lower lip, suppressed the shame that she couldn't bear, turned her head, and smiled again, grabbed the corner of the cuffs of his official uniform, and pulled him forward.

When she walked to a room, she glanced back at him, opened the door, and walked in, as if she were in her own boudoir, familiar with everything in this room, but not with herself in this room.

Closing the door, the light in the room was dim, the candle lamp was lit, the two were opposite each other in the candlelight, the borneol in the golden furnace burned incense, and he suddenly didn't know the geometry of the world.

She couldn't let him ask more, she couldn't say more, words were the easiest to revue, she had to make a desperate bet and tempt him with the deadliest thing.

Without allowing him to hesitate for a moment, she boldly threw herself into Yin Qixiu's arms, wrapped around him, and stood on tiptoe to kiss him on the lips.

He froze physically and mentally for a moment, looking at her crimson, cute and shy appearance, his mind was suddenly scattered, and his reason was still struggling, and he pressed against her shoulder: "No...... I can't do that...... You're misunderstanding......"

She pressed her cheek against his hot face, slender and flexible fingers slid all the way down his neck, probed into the neckline of his official uniform, felt his thunderous heartbeat, pressed hard, and the hot palm was close to his sweaty skin, "Shh~~ Don't talk......"

It was like a heart that was held in the palm of her hand, and he was already blurred, and his breath became very heavy, very hot, and he breathed deeply.

She tried again, awkwardly kissing him on the lips, and he couldn't respond to himself, clinging to each other, latching on her lower lip, sucking greedily, savoring her sweet taste.

This time she untied her clothes in front of him, her smooth jade body was close to his broad chest, and the official dress and skirt fell to the ground, she was entangled with him, and her soft flesh was warm and fragrant, like brocade surrounded by silk cotton.

The feeling of biting the heart and lungs occupies the heart, wet and soft, itchy and painful, and under the body is a flickering flame, which ignites at one point, erupts out, and burns the whole world.

Her eyes were shining, shining with moist water, and her pupils were like ink clouds, cascading and curling, more provoking lust than her nimble and bold fingers, making his heart feel as if it was soaked in water, and the river was tumbling, wave after wave, but he still felt and thirsty, and the impulse in his body only looked for a place to go, and he searched for an exit until he fell into a fragrant ......

Helpless, devastating, and letting the flames burn everything.

Don't live, don't die, in this world, a thousand turns, want to die.

She gave up everything, and with the movements and words she had just learned, she teased him, igniting the most mundane and uncontrollable flames of the two bodies, colliding violently, rubbing and entangled, and when the fire rushed into her, she burst into tears......

It turns out that it really hurts......

It hurts......

Unwilling to admit defeat, there was no way to retreat, she could only move forward, tighter, faster, the pain was worn away, turned into a bone-eating torrent, flowing and colliding between the limbs and bones, tearing her heart and ravaging her body.

But it's so painful......

It's hard to resist.

She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to act anymore, or she hadn't pretended for a long time, but with a desire, it didn't stop, it was hate, it was desire, and it was the despair of ending up together.

After the torrent had receded, he kissed her cheeks, dried her tears, caressed her trembling body, and in the darkness, his eyes were as bright as stars, so gentle, so joyful, so cherished......

She didn't dare to look at him, she was afraid to appreciate the true tenderness of this man, she knew that she had succeeded, but she had also failed.

Her gaze, she couldn't bear it, she could only escape, tears dried up, pulled out a coquettish smile, his hand was like a warm cloud, swimming in his strong body, shrinking downward, like a small fish sliding into his arms, the tip of his wet tongue touched his chest, every time, it was like a lightning strike on his heart, swallowing, biting, lust rushed up, spread all over the body......

Again, a second time, a third time......

Tireless, forgetful, upside down and sinking.

Later, late at night, in the morning and dusk, half-asleep and half-awake, Yin Qixiu hugged her from behind, his chin rested on her shoulder, the two pressed tightly together, and looked out the window together at night, dawn.

"Aren't you going to go to court?"

"If I don't go, I'm not going anywhere. ”

"But I want to get out of here......"

"Okay, I'll take you away. ”

"Where are you taking me?"

"Go home. ”

She chuckled in his arms: "Take me back, aren't you afraid of making that prime minister's father angry to death?"

"Then don't go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, go back to my Squire's Mansion. I should have started a family a long time ago, but there was a lack of a hostess in the Shilang Mansion, so I still lived at home, and now with you, I can have my own small home. ”

With his back to him, he couldn't see the tears in her eyes, and she only smiled bitterly, "Are you stupid? Can I be your lady? How is it possible? ”

He wrenched her shoulders, pressed her under him, wrapped his arms around her, and let her face him: "You are mine, you remember, I want to take you home, pick a good day to marry you, I want to raise you at home, give you a worry-free life, all you have to do is wait for me to go back at home every day, strip naked, and lie down ......"

She gagged his mouth with her lips to stop him from rambling.

When the day dawned, the man woke up, the impulse on the couch was not brought to the ground, she pretended not to hear anything, and he would not say it again.

Yin Qixiu went to find Aunt Fang, ransomed her, and drove her in a carriage to the Shilang Mansion, which he had barely opened, and let her stay.

She didn't ask about her status or status, she just stayed quietly, waiting for him to come back every day in the house, then undressed and lay down......

Day after day, watching him become more and more obsessed with himself......

Later, after a lingering, he hugged her and said in her ear, "I will take you to my father, and we will get married." ”

And she said, "Let me go to the Punishment Department." ”
