Chapter 68

Xie Yiying was very calm when he analyzed the murder methods, and when he left, he glanced at the second shopkeeper of the pawnshop, thinking about how such an idiot made Old Man Ye pick, and as a result, he had a nightmare when he came back at night.

The hanging corpse in the dream had a blue face, no matter how to dodge, it was facing himself with a straight face, and Xie Yiying woke up at the last moment.

The moonlight outside the window was clear, and Qingmei was on duty tonight, lying on a small couch outside her bed.

At this moment, when he heard the voice on the bed, he immediately put on a coat and walked over, lifted the curtain next to the bed, and looked at Xie Yiying's face: "What's wrong with Madam?" ”

"It's fine." This kind of thing doesn't need to be said, but it makes Qingmei afraid.

Qingmei didn't ask any more, only lit two candles at the bedside: "Slave maid, go and boil some water for you to drink." ”

"Don't bother," Xie Yiying eased her nerves, then shook Qingmei's hand, and noticed that she was wearing less and even her palms were cold, "It's still cold at night, you should also wear thicker, go back quickly, I just had a dream, nothing matters." You don't have to worry about it at night, just cover the quilt. ”

Qingmei looked at the person carefully again, and confirmed that she was really fine, so she nodded in response, blew out the freshly lit lamp, and then went back to the couch. It's just that he didn't fall asleep immediately, and after waiting for a while, he heard the sound of Xie Yiying lying down, so he put his mind at ease.

Although he had already laid down, it was only after half an hour that he fell asleep, and when he woke up the next day, it was already daylight.

Xie Yiying rolled around on the bed with the quilt, because last night's dream was still a little uncomfortable, and complained softly: "It would be nice if Zhou Jin was here." ”

You can't talk about people during the day.

"What do you want me to do?" Zhou Jin walked in.

Xie Yiying was stunned for a while, and for a long time, he could see the golden eyelashes under the sun, and then he sat up and threw himself into his arms from the bed.

"Why are you here!"

Zhou Jin opened his arms and caught the person steadily, and he was instantly filled with the fragrance of thanks.

"Ordered to investigate the case."

It was only said that it was official business, and he never mentioned that he did not delay even an hour on the road, even at night, he was hurrying on the horse, just because he was worried about his little wife who was far away here, not to mention that he learned that the river was intercepted.

Xie Yiying didn't care at all, he stayed in Zhou Jin's arms and shook his head and was satisfied, no matter why he came, as long as he came.

In front of outsiders, he is a shrewd businessman who kills decisively, only to be in his arms, and then turns back into a lazy naughty child.

After getting tired of him for a while, Fang went to wash and change clothes, and also saw that people had been dusty all the way, although he saw that he should have tidied up his clothes before, his face was still tired.

After the two of them were cleaned up, they sat down to eat together, although Zhou Jin had the emperor's order, he saw Xie Yiying at this moment, so he was not in a hurry at this time. While eating, the two briefly explained their recent events to each other.

Although they both spoke lightly, both of them could hear that during this time, life in Beijing and Yangzhou was not easy.

Xie Yiying heard the subtlety of Zhou Jin's words, and bit his chopsticks and sneered: "The case of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Investigation? Didn't your dad know that you stabbed this out? ”

Zhou Jin slapped her hand away and asked her to sit upright, and slowly took a chopstick lettuce for someone: "Wei Wu took the source several times and sent it to the prince. The crown prince was eager to find some trouble with the third emperor brother, so he naturally rounded things up again, and stabbed his father with a rod. ”

Emperor Lao Tzu has also been worried recently, why did he just enter a household book, and there was an accident here again? What's more, he knew that the two people standing behind them were his own sons. It's a coincidence, does anyone believe it? This is the battle for the heir, and the two Shangshu are just taken out as shields.

As soon as he moved, he moved to the position of Shangshu, and the two sons played quite big, why, was the emperor dead when I was the emperor?

Anger is angry, and it has to be done. Shangshu's case was not easy to investigate, so after thinking about it, he sent Zhou Jin out.

Xie Yiying squeaked and bit the lettuce, thinking to himself, this old man must have felt that the youngest son was also an eyesore in front of him, so it was better to find a reason to send it out.

She didn't think about anything deeper, and she had never been very sensitive in terms of government and politics.

And these, Zhou Jin has always deliberately not taught her.

If he could, Zhou Jin wanted to keep Xie Yiying in captivity, so he would be a kitten curled up in his arms, not knowing the changes in the mountains and rivers, but only knowing that the present world was stable.

However, that's not thank you.

Xie Yiying is too free by nature, she wants five-flowered horses, daughters, and longing for Tianshan Snow and Luzhou Yue, Zhou Jin can't keep her by her side, for fear of breaking the child's wings, and she doesn't dare to let her fly too far, for fear that she won't be there when she looks back.

For the first time, he had a place to call home, because there was gratitude reflected in it.

It's never easier to let go than to be confined.

These feelings, where does Xie Yiying know.

"So you are here to investigate the fact that Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials killed that Xiucai in Yangzhou City three years ago in order to cover up the fraud in the imperial examination? So this ...... It shouldn't be difficult. ”

All the reasons for the matter, including the detailed process, have been clarified in the previous six places, so it is naturally not difficult in this regard. The difficulty is that Yangzhou is the territory of the Ministry of Shangshu, he is a native of Yangzhou, and he was promoted all the way from the Yangzhou prefect. Yangzhou is a place with intricate roots, and if you want to check the affairs of the Ministry of Officials from here, the water can be very deep.

Officials from all over Yangzhou heard that His Royal Highness the Four Princes had come to visit the palace on the orders of the emperor. The face is all done, "Oh, Your Highness is coming to miss the distance, why didn't Your Highness explain it earlier, and the lower officials should arrange for Your Highness to pick up the wind and wash the dust in advance." The appearance is ignorant and enthusiastic. But in private, he had already received the news that Zhou Jin was coming, and knew what he was here for.

Do you want to keep the official book? There is no need to hesitate.

At the moment when they got the news, the net against Zhou Jin had been fully laid, and the relevant people were wiped out one by one, and all checkpoints were never opened, they wanted to seal Zhou Jin here, so that he could watch it, but he was helpless.

What about the prince? On our turf, we still have to play by our rules.

Zhou Jin only pretended not to know, and interacted with people.

Some people looked at it from a distance, and secretly sighed in their hearts: The appearance of this fourth prince is very good, but unfortunately, his life is not good.

It wasn't until the dinner in the evening that Zhou Jin pretended to be a little drunk in front of everyone, and as soon as he stepped into the house, his eyes were immediately clear.

"Is that peasant woman in Xiaoge Village protected?"

"Your Highness, rest assured, you have been sent to a safe place." Geng Ming hurriedly followed behind Zhou Jin.

Zhou Jin pushed open the door of the study and was about to continue to arrange follow-up things with him, but his eyes lit up, he stepped on the threshold under his feet, and his figure retreated. Geng Ming also immediately noticed that there was something wrong in the house, pulled out a long sword from his waist, and stabbed forward with a momentum like a rainbow.

Inside, there were two black-clad assassins waiting there.

Seeing that he was recognized, he didn't hesitate at all, and rushed straight up.

Geng Ming stood in front of Zhou Jin, and Zhou Jin did not doubt his kung fu.

In his mind, what immediately came to his mind was:

Thank you!

The study has been sent, how can it leak through the inner room. And at this moment, Xie Yiying was there, defenseless. xh:.74.240.212
