Chapter 70, What is the sin?
Qi Qing'er's eyebrows quickly glanced at the two officials who rushed out. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
This outfit should be a person from the Criminal Department who is above the fourth grade, and it is not their turn to chase Diao Min on the street.
Inadvertently, he looked at the middle-aged man who was forcibly held down again.
He is dark-skinned, and when he is a peasant, he shouts forgiveness and other words, and it does not look like a Beijing accent.
How could a foreigner like him get into trouble with the officials in the capital?
Qi Qing'er didn't have time to think about it, so she hurriedly walked to Ling'er and helped her up, "But where is the injury?" ”
Ling'er Shuiling's eyes immediately blinked and smiled, "It's okay!" ”
At this time, when the two officials saw Gao Jingwen, they glanced at her outfit again, and the rest of Qi Qing'er, Ling'er and others, and then hugged their hands and saluted, "Princess Wan'an." After that, there was no intention of staying longer, and the two of them carried the middle-aged man and walked towards the North Market outside the Wutai Palace.
Qi Qing'er always felt that it was not very appropriate when she looked at it.
The middle-aged man had no power to restrain the chicken, and he didn't see what he had robbed, and he looked bitter, estimating that he was not yet forty years old, and his back had begun to bend down, thinking that it must be caused by facing the loess all year round.
What crime can such a poor peasant commit when he comes to the capital in a hurry?
After Qi Qing'er stabilized Ling'er, she was about to take down the two officials to ask, and when she raised her eyes, Gao Jingwen had already blocked their way with her hands on her waist.
"What crime did this person commit, and he actually bothered the squire of the Criminal Department to intercept him here with his subordinates!" Gao Jingwen has always been sympathetic to the people, otherwise two years ago, she would have chosen to die, and she would not marry Yue Guo to protect the people's safety.
Among the two officials, there is one who wears a black veil and a long sword on his waist, and he thinks that he is the squire of the criminal department in the mouth of the princess.
I saw him with one hand in front of the middle-aged man, a little worried, and said: "The princess is a daughter, this person is just a person on the street, and the minister is afraid that speaking out will pollute the princess's ears." ”
Qi Qing'er followed the voice and looked at the eyes of this waiter, and turned around, afraid that he would not be able to make up any charges for a while, so he deliberately quibbled.
I even felt that this waiter's behavior was suspicious.
He seems to be reluctant to meet the princess here.
Qi Qing'er patted Ling'er on the shoulder, asked her to wait by the sedan chair, and turned around and walked behind the princess, "What is the charge, the princess will ask, and the truth will be!" ”
Gao Jingwen moved her feet and looked at the squire in front of her more firmly.
He glanced down at the middle-aged man behind him, his eyebrows trembled slightly, his eyes turned around again, and Fang said: "This is a matter of the previous dynasty, I am afraid that the princess will not ......."
"It's just Diao Min who stole property a few days ago, when did Sister Jingwen care so much about such people's livelihood and business!"
Before the person arrives, the voice arrives first.
Qi Qing'er, Gao Jingwen and the others all rushed towards King Ling, who came over.
He held one hand in front of his abdomen, his steps were slightly urgent, and after a while, he walked up to him, looking at Gao Jingwen and smiling.
Then he glanced at Qi Qing'er with eyes hiding cold arrows.
Since the end of the martial arts competition in Wutai Palace, everyone has dispersed, why did King Ling come out for no reason?
Qi Qing'er looked at the middle-aged man who was being pressed lightly, and secretly thought to herself, letting King Ling's gaze sweep over her with a falling piece.
Gao Jingwen saw that the person who came was King Ling, and her eyebrows and eyes that were a little happy just now hung up again.
Such an older brother, she would rather not be good.
Gao Jingwen cleared her throat and was about to speak, but was interrupted by King Ling.
"As a squire of the Criminal Department, you can't stand the prisoners in the Ministry. What are you doing here, why don't you hurry up and bring people back! ”
King Ling's fingers tightened in his sleeves, and Gao Jingwen took his eyes off the waiter, and hurriedly said this, his tone was full of orders.
The squire and his subordinates didn't even say a word.
With King Ling's approval, he immediately took the middle-aged man away, and disappeared from the street in the blink of an eye.
This move made Qi Qing'er even more suspicious.
Cao Xian, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is a henchman of King Ling, and the squire of the Criminal Department must also regard King Ling as the master.
And King Ling suddenly appeared at this time to relieve the siege for a small squire of the criminal department.
There is something else going on.
However, now that the middle-aged man had been taken away, Qi Qing'er glanced at King Ling. If she can grasp King Ling's handle now, she will be relieved to treat him, so that every time she sees him, she will always be splashed with cold water.
Qi Qingren secretly thought to himself that King Ling had always regarded her as a thorn in his side, and one day he would hold on to her. Qi Qing'er thought about it and glanced at King Ling again, maybe letting King Ling fall was a way out.
Gao Jingwen didn't have time to talk to the squire again, and her mind was led by King Ling.
"His Royal Highness King Ling, all the people in this Wutai Hall are gone, why are you still staying here." Gao Jingwen's face stiffened, and King Ling raised his eyebrows lightly.
"My father asked me to check which ones were in the top ten in this competition, so I delayed for a while. Go back now! King Ling spoke coldly, and without waiting for Gao Jingwen to respond, he walked away.
In the past few days from Thorn Prefecture to returning to Beijing, Qi Qing'er was used to seeing King Ling's indifferent attitude, but he was also used to it.
Tugged Gao Jingwen on her head, and said busily: "The princess is tired after a day's work, so it's better to go back and rest." ”
Qi Qing'er fell down on the balcony and stood for a long time, which made his son feel physically exhausted and wanted to go back.
Gao Jingwen walked forward with her feet kicking her feet and said, "Gao Junyang! What kind of attitude did he have just now, I haven't seen him for two years, and he is really becoming more and more unsightly! ”
Qi Qing'er was silent, and reached out to let Ling'er come over and help her.
Fang got into the sedan chair behind the princess.
When she arrived at the house, Qi Qing'er only ate two bites casually and then rested.
Returned to the warm pavilion alone, separated all the maids who served closely, only let Ling'er come in and add new carbon, warmed up her body by the charcoal basin, and fell asleep.
The body is not as good as before, Qi Qing'er must be careful.
Before he arrived, the candle flame had already been extinguished in Qi Qing'er's warm pavilion, leaving a gray and black place.
She lay quietly, her eyes closed, but she did not sleep.
The word King Qi couldn't help but climb into his heart, she asked for help, and he did it, leaving no traces.
But why he didn't appear in Wutai Hall from the beginning to the end made her puzzled.
Turned over, facing the curtain door of the warm pavilion.
Fifteen years ago, Qi Qing'er never got an explanation from her mother for the fornication case that Father-in-law Zhang said. At that time, he was young and ignorant, but now that he is an adult, he naturally does not need to be explained by others, and Qi Qing'er also understands.
Close your eyes and think about it.
?? 's father was accused of fornicating with the harem concubines, and he thought that he was the queen Yang Yiji, the biological mother of King Qi. As the princess said, King Qi's mother committed a taboo in the palace, also fifteen years ago.
This made her suddenly think that a few days ago, she and the princess got lost in the palace and walked to the cold palace by mistake, and the two neatly dressed women appeared in Qi Qing'er's mind again.
She inexplicably felt that maybe what she saw that day was not an illusion, maybe King Qi's mother was still in the cold palace, not crazy or stupid.
It's just these, does King Qi know?
Qi Qing'er tossed and turned, and it was even more difficult to sleep.
Maybe she should ask King Qi, and maybe she can find some clues to overturn the case.
In addition, Qi Qing'er was also very curious, how did King Qi give such an ugly and stupid-looking Lu Qian the official position of the capital.
Lifting the futon, Qi Qing'er slowly got out of bed.
put on a fur coat, stood outside the door of the warm pavilion, and looked around.
That day, King Qi visited Qi Qing'er at night, and the maidservant who broke in happened to pass in front of the corridor. Qi Qing'er didn't think about it, and directly called her into the warm pavilion.
