23. Go to jail

Zhao Yan didn't look at Qingtong, looked away, and naturally changed the topic: "What to eat?" ”

"Wang's baked cakes." Qingtong said.

The two didn't have any more in-depth communication, so they sat down with Wang's family on the street, ate the porridge, and then went to Ouchi together.

As soon as I entered the Hanlin Academy, the atmosphere was solemn, and it was depressed compared to the other days. Only Yan Qing greeted him and asked in a low voice, "I heard that Miss Feng had an accident?" ”

Zhao Yan nodded, just looking accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, took the book, and said nothing else. Yan Qing turned his head to look at Qing Tong again and asked, "Zhou Rui, what did they do?" ”

Qingtong was silent, Yan Qing took a deep breath to herself, twisted her eyebrows for a moment, and didn't ask.

Here, looking at Zhou Rui and the others from afar, it was as if nothing had happened. I don't laugh much, but I still dress neatly, have an extraordinary demeanor, and do what I do.

Zhao Yan took the book out of Qingtong's hand, replaced it with another one for her, and said, "Don't look at it, you can't kill him." ”

Qingtong didn't pay attention to it, and saw Li Houde slowly walking towards this side. walked up to Qingtong, cleared his throat a little, and said, "Lord Qing, take a step to speak." ”

Qingtong didn't say a word, pressed the book in his hand and got up, and followed Li Houde to the courtyard. It was only when he walked to the corner of the secluded wall that Li Houde stopped and didn't say anything for a long time.

Qingtong didn't have any emotion or expression, but her tone was very cold: "If you have anything, just say it directly." ”

Li Houde laughed dryly twice, and suddenly said: "In the evening, Yu was dispersed in office, and I invited you to have a drink." ”

"No need." Qingtong said: "I want to come Brother Li to know, I can't wait for that time." ”

Li Houde smiled dryly, "I'll invite you to dinner at noon." ”

"You don't have to, if you feel guilty in your heart, you shouldn't be wrong to me." Qingtong said that he went away, leaving Li Houde alone to stand in place in embarrassment. No matter how you say it, Li Houde is afraid that he has never done such a bad thing. did it on Naxing's head, and afterwards he was naturally full of fear. Even if Zhou Rui can keep him, what if a thunderbolt strikes him one day?

Qing Tong returned to the hall, sat next to Zhao Yan, and whispered: "As you said, I'm afraid I'm going to go to prison." ”

"What do you want me to do?" Zhao Yan was very calm.

Qingtong said: "Thinking about Fa'er to reveal the news to the Zhou family, at my wedding banquet, there are people from Luan Weisi." ”

Hearing the words "Luan Weisi", Zhao Yan suddenly became less calm. He turned his head to look at the green pupils, and his eyes were surprised, but they disappeared in a moment.

Qing Tong didn't care about his face, and only said, "Since you know who the person behind me is, you should understand this." ”

"But I didn't expect you to be so important to him." Zhao Yan said.

Qing Tong smiled, as if laughing at herself.

After saying that, it was just noon before the time came, and Qing Tong was taken by the people of the Criminal Department and put in prison.

Zhao Yan said according to Qingtong, as if he had no intention of spreading the news. The news will naturally reach Zhou Rui's ears if you pass it on to me and I pass it on to you. Zhou Rui reported his father Zhou Qingxiu again, and Zhou Qingxiu froze the moment he got the news.

Before you get the newsβ€”

After Zhou Qingxiu learned that Zhou Rui had committed something, he took the initiative to find the Feng family first. At that time, Feng Zhiwen, the master of the Feng family, was angry, and wanted to beat Feng Yu to death to prevent future troubles and save his only remaining face. After Zhou Qingxiu's persuasion and promise made Zhou Rui accept Feng Yu, he gave up.

Feng Yu's matter is spread outside, and the common people may not be able to guess the end of the matter, but in the official eunuch's house, the truth is not so difficult to know. Everyone knows it, but with Feng Zhiwen's temperament, he will never be the enemy of the Zhou family. The Zhou family first showed goodwill, and was willing to accept Feng Yu, and it was impossible for him to be hostile to the Zhou family because of such a girl. But there must be someone who has to pay the price for the loss of face of the Feng family, and this person is naturally the Qing Tong who Feng Zhiwen originally held a grudge in his heart.

Qingtong is now only cultivating from the sixth grade, with no power or power, and he is alone in the capital, and Gu Guokun behind him plays less than half a role. Moreover, King Yi, who has an old relationship with him, never asks about the affairs of the court, and it is impossible for him to get involved in such things. Taking down Qingtong, and even making his whole family pay for it, Feng Zhiwen is imperative.

Such a small role, like a thorn in the flesh, will be shoveled in minutes. Calming the hatred in your heart is a matter of moving your fingers.

The two families discussed well, and there was no big Zhou Zhang, so Zhou Qingxiu found someone from the Criminal Department and took Qingtong.

When Qing Tong was imprisoned, Feng Zhiwen used his own family to go directly to Qing's house to tie up Gong Qiu and Qing Yan. He doesn't care about others, these two people will definitely take down and hate together. When Qingtong is convicted, it is not difficult for the people in the family to be sold into slavery.

When a group of people rushed straight to the door, Gong Qiu and Qing Yan were both taking a nap. The green courtyard was in front, and there was a sound first, which woke up Gong Qiu. With a bad premonition, she picked up her sword and went to the courtyard of Qingran, and saw that the little one had been tied up.

Gong Qiu twisted his eyebrows: "Who are you?" Where did you get the courage to trespass into private houses? At the feet of the Son of Heaven, is there any royal law? ”

There's not much nonsense about the people who come, and if they come up, they will arrest her.

Fortunately, Gong Qiu is not a weak woman from ordinary people, so she raised her sword and greeted her. After a few times, the comer injured several people, all of whom were not Gong Qiu's opponents.

Seeing that the momentum was not good, the leader pulled Qing Yan over, put a knife on his neck, stared at Gong Qiu and said, "If you move again, I will kill him." ”

Gong Qiu sneered: "It's not my son, what if you kill it?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he stabbed the man in the wrist with a sword without any delay. When the other party's knife fell, she pulled Qing Yan over very quickly, took a few steps back, and said in a condensed voice: "Take another step forward, don't blame me for not leaving a single mouth!" ”

The comer injured several people, and after fighting for so long, he knew that he was not Gong Qiu's opponent. exchanged glances, and had to dodge and withdraw. As soon as the people left, Gong Qiu rushed to the subordinate who was hiding outside the courtyard: "He Sheng, you go out to inquire about what happened, and the others closed all the two doors of the gate and plugged in the door bolt." ”

The people in the family were still frightened and did not come back to their senses, and when they saw that Gong Qiu was so calm, they all eased up slightly. He Sheng hurriedly went out to inquire about the matter, and the others went to close the door and bolt it.

Qing Yan was still stunned in Gong Qiu's hands, looking stupid. The blade of the man's knife just now accidentally touched the flesh between his neck, and it was bleeding.

Gong Qiu helped him untie him, without saying a word, he carried him to his room, took the medicine powder out and put it on him, and then let him wrap it in a white cloth, and then asked lightly without surprise or joy: "Does it hurt?" ”

Qing Yan suppressed the horror, and didn't dare to cry, nodded subconsciously, and shook his head again.

Gong Qiu said: "A manly man, I can endure the pain." ”

Qing Yan was originally afraid of Gong Qiu, but he was scared again, but he didn't dare to speak at this time, so he sat still. I was sitting for a while, when I heard someone outside the door, "Madam, can I go in for a while?" ”

Gong Qiu didn't look out, and said, "Come in." ”

The words fell, and He Mama and He Biqing came in outside the door. She asked Gong Qiu for peace a little uneasily, and hurriedly went over to look at Qing Yan, and said distressedly: "But surprised? ”

Qing Yan shook his head and leaned into her arms, just not crying.

Mother He patted him on the back, "Don't be afraid, my mother is here." ”

Gong Qiu didn't feel anything about this kind of warm drama, and only said: "It's no big deal, just take it back and coax it." Take this medicine and take it again in the evening, don't touch the water. ”

"Huh." Mother He turned around, took the medicine with trembling hands, and said for a while, "Thank you, Mrs." ”

Gong Qiu didn't say anything, so he let them out.

After waiting in the courtyard for a while, He Sheng came back with news: "Madam, the master has been taken to prison by the Criminal Department. ”

"Is it because of the matter of the Feng family's girl?" Gong Qiu said very calmly.

He Sheng nodded: "That's right, those people just now were sent by the Feng family." ”

Gong Qiu stopped talking, and then said, "Take care of the door wall and wait for the master to come back." ”

"Yes." He Sheng answered, his heart uneasy.

said that the Zhou family and the Feng family had done something, which was to relieve the hatred of the Feng family. Who thought that before the hour came, Zhou Qingxiu heard the news that "someone from Luan Weisi went to the Qingtong Wedding Banquet". He stiffened his face and asked, "Is this true?" ”

"That's right, there was a man in white at the wedding banquet yesterday, with a charm around his waist, which was Luan Weisi's."

Zhou Qingxiu screwed his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that he was careless and made the wrong move. It was originally to not offend the family, but I am afraid that I will offend even more terrible people.

In this way, I was uneasy, and I found several doorman strategists to discuss, so I had to make a test first. If the judgment is correct, then he has to temporarily turn his face, find a scapegoat, and then push the Feng family out.

After the discussion was completed, Zhou Qingxiu went to the Wende Hall to ask for a meeting with the emperor.

After entering the Wende Palace, he gave a big salute first, and then said: "Your Majesty, the minister has encountered something today, and I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Xu Jing raised his eyes and looked at him, dropped the fold in his hand, and said, "Say it." ”

Zhou Qingxiu clasped his hands in front of him and bowed his waist slightly: "I heard that Qing Tong, the champion of the dynasty, committed the act of raping and insulting the woman of a good family, and has been taken to prison by the Criminal Department. "Zhou Qingxiu's so-called temptation is just a temptation of the emperor. Luan Weisi represents the emperor, if there is really a person from Luan Weisi at the Qingtong wedding banquet, then Qingtong must be the emperor's person. I can't be sure now, so I have to try.

When Xu Jing heard this, his eyes froze, and Xingyuan didn't know what to do, and he didn't tell him in time when such a big thing happened. He didn't delay, and said to the chief eunuch next to him: "Feng Zuo, call Li Xingwu." ”

The chief eunuch Feng Zuo received the order and hurriedly went to the criminal department.

Zhou Qingxiu saw that Xu Jing directly asked Li Xingwu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, to come over, and he was even more sure in his heart. He lowered his head and thought secretly, Xu Jing naturally had his own thoughts in his heart.

After waiting for a while, Li Xingwu entered the hall and saluted, and then heard Xu Jing ask: "Qingtong of Hanlin Academy, what did you do?" ”
