Chapter 002: Surging
After An Lan returned to the Fengzhu Palace, she was about to go to the incense room, but the maid came over and said, "Sir, Lan Zhangshi has been waiting in the hall for a long time. ”
In the Changxiang Palace, in addition to the Seven Great Incense Palaces, there is also an extremely special institution - the Criminal Court.
The Criminal Court is responsible for finding out the truth and covering up the truth.
If the Great Incense Master is responsible for the glamorous side of the Changxiang Palace, then the Criminal Court is specifically responsible for solving all the filthy and filthy things in the Changxiang Palace.
Originally, the Punishment Court was born under the will of the Great Incense Master of the Heavenly Pivot Temple, and the Great Incense Master personally designated the rules to make it strong. Since then, every person in charge of the Criminal Court has come from the will of the Tianshu Palace, and the other six halls have not thought of getting involved in this position, but they have never really succeeded, so the biggest difference between the Tianshu Hall and the other six halls lies in this.
The current head of the Criminal Court is Lan Indigo, who is ordered by An Lan.
An Lan took the new roster presented by Lan Indigo, and after a few glances, she said: "Isn't this the list set some time ago, since it is the people in your courtyard, you can just look at their errands and arrange them, and you don't need to report to me." ”
Lan Indigo lowered her head and responded: "Yes." ”
An Lan closed the roster and put it aside, but saw that Lan Di hadn't left yet, so she asked, "Is there anything else?"
Lan Indigo raised her face, and her eyes unexpectedly showed a little hesitation.
Although the head of the criminal court is a woman and not very old, she is meticulous and does not lack the ability to kill and decide. Therefore, she has been valued by An Lan year by year, so at this time, she showed such a look in front of An Lan, but An Lan was silent for a moment before saying, "Say it." ”
Lan Indigo lowered her eyes: "The incense envoy is hiding something. ”
An Lan didn't speak, Lan Di didn't dare to raise her face to look at her expression, waited for a while, and saw that An Lan didn't ask or reprimand and stop, so she continued: "On the day Mr. went to Jingfu, the incense envoy also left the incense hall and went to see a person, that person...... It's Situ Jing. ”
The high priest of Xianggu in southern Xinjiang, surnamed Situ, is named Mirror.
An Lan was still silent, she didn't ask Lan Yi for evidence to prove that what she said was true, nor did she ask Bai Yan why she went to see Situ Jing.
Lan Indigo didn't continue to speak, but just stood there with her head down, her back straight.
After a long time, An Lan spoke: "When did Situ Jing enter Chang'an?"
"At least a month, his whereabouts have been uncertain, and his subordinates only received the exact news this morning, and it is thanks to the Zhenxiang envoy that Situ Jing was found by us. ”
"At least a month in the city, that's more than a month. ”
"It should be. ”
"I see. An Lan bowed slightly, "Since you have found his whereabouts, then pay attention to it." ”
Lan Indigo responded, but when she raised her face, she saw An Lan turn around, and couldn't help but speak again: "Sir!"
An Lan stood still and turned her head to look at her inquiringly.
Lan Indigo hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Can subordinates secretly supervise the incense envoy?"
An Lan raised her eyebrows slightly: "If I say no, you really won't stare at him?"
Lan Indigo lowered her face: "As long as Mr. commands." ”
An Lan pondered for a moment and smiled: "Whatever you want, if you have the ability to keep an eye on him, that is also your ability." ”
If there is no incense envoy, the affairs of the county lord of Yuyao should be the sole responsibility of the criminal court. But now, not only is there one more incense envoy, but the incense order in his hand can also make the criminal court. It is expected that some people will be dissatisfied with the division and change of power. Besides, she also wanted to know how that person would deal with these inconveniences next.
Before Lan Indigo withdrew, An Lan asked, "Lan Zhangshi, aren't you afraid of him?"
Bai Yan sat in the position of the incense envoy, and the reason why those opposing voices did not make waves was not only because it was her decision, but also because those people were still a little afraid of that face.
Lan Indigo raised her eyes: "I am Mr. Feng, you are the Lord." ”
The criminal court is in charge, and only one person is the master in his life.
If the great incense master of the incense hall is replaced, the head of the criminal court must be replaced.
……
As soon as Jing Xiao returned home, he was pulled aside by Wu Xing, who was waiting for him, and said anxiously and helplessly: "My brother, you can be regarded as back, the second master is looking for you, go quickly." ”
Jing Xiao walked briskly in the direction of Jing Zhong's courtyard: "I also want to find the second uncle." ”
Wu Xing saw that his expression was different, so he lowered his voice: "Brother Xiao'er has seen Master An Daxiang?"
Jing Xiao nodded slightly, and Wu Xing hurriedly asked, "Then what did Master An Daxiang say......?" The one who parked in Liyuan, how should I arrange it?"
Jing Xiao frowned: "I didn't say this." ”
Wu Xing was stunned: "I didn't say this, so what do you say?"
Jing Xiao didn't answer, his face was gloomy, his steps quickened, and Wu Xing hurriedly caught up: "Brother Xiao, it's so easy to see that nobleman, if you don't talk about it, what else can you say, this is a big deal......"
Jing Xiao suddenly stopped his steps and turned his head to look at Wu Xing, his eyes clearly showing warning. He is the master, and Wu Xing, even if he is a person next to his second uncle, he is also a slave, and there is no slave who chases the master so much.
Wu Xing couldn't help but stop when he looked at him, his face stiffened, and he said, "The second master is waiting for you." ”
Jing Xiao snorted coldly before walking forward again.
Wu Xing deliberately took two steps behind, looked at his back, and sneered in his heart: It's just a hairy boy, and his body and bones are not solid, so he put up the master's money! If the noble man in the Xiangdian really values you, will the position of Jingfu be taken away by our second master?
After Jing Xiao entered the study, he saw that in addition to his second uncle, his eldest and third uncles were also in the study, and several people did not speak, it was unusually quiet, so quiet that the sound of him pushing the door sounded several times louder than usual.
Jing Zhong glanced at Jing Xiao, and without waiting for him to salute, he spoke: "Mr. An just doesn't want to take care of this matter, so he has to take care of it." ”
Jing Xiao was stunned and looked at his father inquiringly.
Jing Ming nestled aside and coughed heavily a few times before telling the matter of the marriage contract of the lord of Yuyao County. Not long after Jing Xiao went to Changxiang Palace, the grandmother beside the county lord of Yuyao came over with a few guards, took out the marriage book, and added a thick layer of frost to Jingfu.
After Jing Xiao listened, he was stunned for a while before saying, "This ...... Is it true?"
Jing Zhong sneered: "Even if it's true, the eldest prince is no longer here, even if they take out the old lady's documents, the Jing Mansion can't be regarded as breaking the contract." ”
Jing Xiao's face suddenly appeared in his mind, so he said stiffly: "But, I seem to ...... I saw the sixth uncle!"
A shocking word!
There was a deathly silence in the study for a moment before someone spoke: "You mean the eldest prince?"
Jing Yan Gongzi is the son of Jing Gong who was nearly sixty years old, so although he is not very old, he has a very high seniority. For example, Jing Zhong, who is more than ten years older than Jing Yan, has to call Jing Yan the sixth uncle. Maybe it was because everyone felt awkward in this way, and later everyone in the Jing Mansion changed their words to call him the eldest prince.
Jing Zhong forcibly suppressed the tension in his heart, but he couldn't hide the panic in his tone: "Where did you see it?"
Jing Xiao said: "In the incense hall." ”
The study was dead quiet again.
After Jing Ming coughed, he followed up and asked, "Brother Xiao'er, are you sure it's the eldest prince?"
Jing Xiao didn't answer right away, but hesitated for a while before he hesitated a little and said, "I, I...... Up in the air. ”
