If Haixi had no ghosts in his heart, he would naturally be frank at this time, but no one else knew whether anyone had died in this room, and he couldn't be clearer, but Chonglan was a businessman, how did she know? Could it be that she really saw something?

Haixi looked at her suspiciously, couldn't help but take a few steps back, and then said angrily: "Cheap. What nonsense are you talking about, what kind of madness is this! Don't think I'll let you go! ”

Chonglan looked at him steadily, and suddenly giggled, and the laughter echoed in the empty and lonely room, as if there were more than a dozen women laughing at the same time: "Lord Hai is a sage who reads the book of sages, I don't know if I believe that there are ghosts in the world?" She put her slender fingers on his arm: "Get out of the way, don't get in the way of my sister talking to me." ”

Haixi really felt a chill down her spine when she said it, and subconsciously dodged a few steps, and only after dodging away did she realize what she had done, with annoyance on her face, she grabbed her away: "Get out!" What nonsense are you bitch! ”

Chonglan ignored him, but made a gesture of listening, and answered a few times from time to time, comforting: "I know that my sister is miserable, there is no place to complain if there is a wrong, there is a debtor who is wronged, who killed my sister, my sister will go to him." ”

Haixi seemed to be poured down by a basin of ice water, and his whole body was cold, he was naturally not the kind of fool who was fooled lightly, but he couldn't remember the number of women who had died in this dark room, who was talking to Chonglan? Is it Cuiwei who was beaten to death? Or Yun Niang, who was humiliated and hanged herself?

His body stiffened, and he shouted inwardly: "Slut, shut up!" ”

Chonglan ignored him, still whispering to the wall, and his originally soft facial features became very blurry and dark. At this time, even if he is a hungry ghost, he can't be interested, not to mention that Haixi can't be a person. Dao, his complexion changed greatly, and finally he couldn't help but snatch the door and walk out quickly, scolding 'Crazy, crazy!' ’

The housekeeper greeted him from afar, but he didn't see the surprise on Haixi's face, and thought that he had finally got his wish, so he hurriedly came up to invite him: "Master, you"

Heixi let out a low shout, 'Get out! Then he kicked it over and strode away.

Chonglan muttered to himself in the dark room for half an hour, making sure that no one was watching, then slowly closed his mouth, slowly walked to the side and poured himself a glass of water. Fortunately, she talks a lot on weekdays, and she reads a lot of books about gods and ghosts, so she said it for half an hour without repeating it.

She sat back down after drinking the water, thinking of what she had just said to herself, she felt uncomfortable, this method could hide Haixi for a while, but when he came back to his senses, he was afraid that it would be over, and now he could only hope that the steward and Jiang You she stayed here could find out that something was wrong as soon as possible

Jiang You has no time to think about her now, he was entangled by Xue Yuan all night last night, and his whole body was sore this morning, so he could only lie on the pillow and hum, but he didn't expect that his head was just half raised, and he was heavily pressed down.

Xue Yuan suddenly turned over and pressed on her, pressing her 'oops', his head was buried in the soft pillow, he covered her, his ten fingers interlocked with her, and asked with a chuckle: "Does the emperor feel deflated?" ”

Jiang You's back was pressed against him, and he had to reluctantly raise his head: "When did I get angry, it's because you haven't been yin or yang recently!" ”

Xue Yuan reached into her bedrobe and stroked her cream-like skin: "I didn't expect that I tried so hard last night and still didn't let the emperor dissipate, it was my dereliction of duty, why don't we do it again?" ”

Jiang You despised his behavior of being cheap and obedient, so he twisted his body and broke away, and said with a haha: "Palm print is dedicated to my duties, I am very satisfied, no need haha." ”

After she finished speaking, she wanted to get dressed and get up, but she didn't expect the soreness on her body to come suddenly, making her fall into his arms again, and he naturally took her in his arms: "The emperor is still not satisfied?" ”

Jiang You sighed: "Don't make trouble, I still have business." ”

Xue Yuan's face sank slightly, but he still let go of his hand, Jiang You was able to get out, washed up in a hurry, and stepped out of the bedroom door with a sore back, while sighing that the emperor is really not good, he has to take care of court affairs externally, and he has to satisfy his daughter-in-law internally, I don't know if my father was also so bitter at the beginning? Hey, definitely not, the queen mother is so virtuous, she definitely won't want to charm your heart like a palm print.

Jiang You sighed that his daughter-in-law was difficult, and hurriedly went to the main hall to report the situation one by one, but after listening, he found that Haixi did not make any moves, and couldn't help frowning slightly, Haixi's patience was better than she imagined, and there was no action when the catastrophe was coming, she thought about it and asked: "Is there any movement over there in Haizhifu?" ”

The people below shook their heads: "If you go back to the prison army, we will keep an eye on it in turn, only to see that the steward of Haifu went out and came back again, but he didn't have anything in his hands, and he didn't bring anyone back, but he just came and went in a carriage." ”

Jiang You was stunned, no movement at this time was more strange than there was movement, she shook her head, tilted her head and asked, "What about the heavy boss?" Did you leave Yangzhou? ”

The people below thought for a while: "I didn't follow the heavy boss when I saw him get on the boat yesterday, but somehow, the boat stopped on the dock for a night, and returned to the boat this morning, and the heavy boss got off the boat, and I didn't know what was going on, so I didn't dare to make my own decisions." ”

Jiang You didn't know what to think, his face changed slightly, he got up, and heard someone report outside the eaves: "Prison army, someone outside the courtyard asked to see him, saying that he was the shopkeeper under the boss." ”

Jiang You didn't hesitate to let people in, and the shopkeeper arrived at the main hall in a blink of an eye, and without saying a word, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Ask the prison army to save our host!" ”

Jiang You's heart sank a little, but he still reluctantly settled down and said, "What happened, you can tell me about it." ”

The shopkeeper straightened up and said calmly: "The supervisor made an appointment with our owner to leave Yangzhou yesterday, but the owner also dealt with the matter of rice and grain in Yangzhou, so he told me that after the people who took her to the ship yesterday escorted her on the boat, half of them will return to stay in Yangzhou to help me, but I waited all night last night and didn't see anyone coming, the owner is a meticulous person, and there will never be such a big fork in the matter, I sent someone to the ship to ask, they are also vague, I am afraid that something has happened to the owner!" ”

Jiang You paced back and forth in the main hall with the corners of his forehead, and said in a deep voice: "In the realm of Yangzhou, only Haixi has the ability and the reason to do this, but I am afraid that the Chonglan people are in his hands now." ”

The shopkeeper also changed his face: "He, he is the prefect, if it is really him, how can we save the owner?" ”

Jiang You thought for a while: "There are many concubines in Haixi Mansion, it can be seen that she is a womanizer, Chonglan should be fine now, I'm afraid" She saw the shopkeeper's somewhat pale face, and exhaled softly: "Today's plan can only find a reason, search the mansion!" ”

She originally thought that Haixi would at least find someone to move up and down on the matter of grain and grass, running around, no matter how bad it was, she would have to think of ways to stop the court from sending food, even if it was more meaningful to send someone to assassinate her than to take Chonglan away, she really didn't expect Haixi to dare to take Chonglan out of anger when it was a dangerous time, she really overestimated him.

It was important to save people, and she didn't bother to do any more officialdom articles, so she took two groups of people to act separately, one group quietly sneaked into Haifu to ensure that Chonglan was safe, and the other followed her and blatantly surrounded Haifu.

Jiang You rode a horse and stood in front of the gate of Haifu, and the steward of Haifu turned pale in shock when he saw such a big battle: "Do you know where this is?!" How dare you be so rude! ”

Jiang You took a few steps forward, and said with a smile: "This official has something to discuss with the Hai Governor's Mansion, and you still don't let you go?" ”

The steward didn't dare to argue with her, so he took a few steps back in shock, and heard Haixi's voice from the mansion at this time: "You dare to be so lawless!" blatantly besieged the official's mansion, is it to rebel or not?! ”

Of course, Jiang You had no interest in rebelling against herself, she turned over and dismounted, showed him the gauze wrapped around her shoulder, and said coldly: "This official was assassinated last night, some people say that the assassin entered your Haifu all the way, and this official specially came to investigate, and I hope that the Hai Governor's Mansion will make it convenient." ”

Haixi did the kidnapping, but he really didn't dare to do anything murderous, so angry that he almost vomited blood: "Ridiculous! It's nonsense! This official has no grievances with you, why did he send someone to assassinate you?! ”

Jiang You continued to provoke him, and sneered at him: "Who knows if it was because I exposed your reselling of disaster relief food yesterday and let you take revenge?" If the sea prefect didn't do anything wrong, why did he stop it in every possible way?! ”

Haixi was furious: "This official said that if he didn't kill you, he didn't kill you, I am a dignified four-grade member, if you search the house, what face will I have to survive in the world!" ”

As he spoke, he thought of Chonglan, he only arrested Chonglan yesterday, and today 'Zhang Donglan' is going to forcibly enter the house to search, is it intentional? If he really came here for Chonglan, then he couldn't say it, and he would definitely destroy the flowers with his hands.

Jiang You looked at him with a flickering look in his eyes, and opened his mouth to say, "What is Lord Hai so afraid of?" Could it be that there is really something inappropriate in the house? For example, food for disaster relief? ”

Haixi's heart was a little relieved, it turned out that he was here for food, he wanted to think about it, but he still straightened his back and said loudly: "It's just unreasonable!" If it was really the people sent by the official, there would be no reason to hide them in the mansion! I think you are dissatisfied with the official's opposition yesterday, so you deliberately retaliated today, and the official will never agree to your search in the house! ”

Jiang You thought of Chonglan, whose life and death were unknown, his heart tightened, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense with him anymore, but said: "The human and material evidence is there, the official doesn't want to say more to you, if you insist on refusing to let go, the official has the right to do it, and the assassination of Qin Cha is a conspiracy, and you can weigh the consequences yourself!" ”

Haixi's face changed suddenly, she is a Qincha, and she has the emperor's order, although the rank is not as good, but in terms of status, she is indeed higher than her own local official, he raised his voice and said: "You are powerful!" ”

Jiang You saw that his expression was frightened, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense, so he directly ordered his subordinates to show their knives and guns, and rushed in with them.

She didn't talk much nonsense, she directly ordered someone to search for people, there were many women hidden in the backyard of Haifu, and for a while, these women were all shocked, looking at Jiang You with a panicked face, and afraid that she would accidentally provoke Haixi, so she stood far away.

Jiang You sent everyone out, and after a while, there was still no search, Haixi's heart was a little relieved, his dark room was built to punish those women who disobeyed discipline, it was very secret, and it was difficult for ordinary people to notice, he turned his head sideways and saw Jiang You's face was calm, and said with a sneer: "Didn't the prison army keep saying that I harbored assassins, how about now?" Are you looking for anything? ”

Jiang You glanced at him lightly and did not speak. Seeing that she was not panicked, Haixi was a little impatient in her heart, and shouted in a deep voice: "You have no royal law, not only framing the official for embezzling disaster relief food, but also framing the official for sending someone to assassinate you, if you can't find anything today, I will definitely let you be ruined and imprisoned!" ”

Jiang You looked at the distance and didn't reply, although her face was calm, but her heart was also very impatient, she couldn't search endlessly, at this time, she couldn't help but start to miss Xue Yuan, the people in Dongchang are familiar with these things, and they will definitely be able to find people.

She looked left and right, and saw the woman with a red mark on her neck standing timidly in the verandah, and when she saw her, she quickly shrank back. With a thought in her mind, she walked over and said softly, "What's your name?" Is there anyone else in the house? ”

The woman looked at Haixi with a gloomy face in panic, and she didn't dare to make a sound, Jiang You looked at the red mark on her neck, and said to herself: "When I was in Jinling, I was also in charge of the affairs of the homeless, and at that time, an old man among the homeless people told me that her daughter was lost and there was a red mark on her neck. ”

When she said this, she suddenly paused, and saw the woman stunned, with sad thoughts in her eyes, she continued: "At that time, the old man was crying, and he couldn't persuade him, and he couldn't persuade him, and he pity the parents of the world, and the whereabouts of his daughter who was pregnant for ten months is unknown, how can there be anything that is not uncomfortable? ”

Haixi shouted in a deep voice: "What kind of thoughts do you have in mind to bewitch my concubine with nonsense!" ”

He said that he was about to order someone to tear the woman down, Jiang You sighed: "I think that it is really a great tragedy in life that the children are still alive in the world, but they seem to be thousands of miles away, and they can't serve their mothers. ”

The woman was stunned and shed tears, but Haixi's muscles were bruised, and she couldn't hide the panic in her eyes, and said loudly: "You are all dead, why don't you drag people down quickly!" ”

The woman grabbed Jiang You in a panic and said sharply, "No! I'm not going! I didn't enter the house as a concubine of my own free will, I was deceived by someone! Please save me, help me! ”

Jiang You said in a relaxed voice: "Then do you know that there are any other Tibetan places in Haifu?" ”

A small pond was dug in the backyard of the post house, attracting shallow living water, among which there were koi carp, and the weeping willows were planted by the pond, Xue Yuan stood under the willows, and threw fish food into the pond water for a while, and his hair was tied with a jade belt at will, and he was blown a little loose by the Hui wind in April, and his posture was elegant, and the description was gorgeous, like an immortal who had just waded into the water.

Cheng Bei's eyes were a little straight, and after a while, he handed over the fish food, looked at the pool again, and said with a smile: "Don't feed too much, this is all a group of greedy things, and I don't know how to stop when I'm full, and it's over until I'm dead." ”

Xue Yuan simply stopped, walked slowly along the edge of the pond, and said: "It is said that fireworks go down to Yangzhou in March, and the weather is good today, but unfortunately there is no interest recently, otherwise it is good to go out for a walk." ”

Cheng Bei joked: "When the matter here is over, you can take the emperor out for a walk, she likes to be lively in the past." After he finished speaking, he was also a little awkward, it turned out that the overseer was busy with the rounds, and the emperor was idle in the palace, but now he suddenly fell one by one, no matter how he said it, he felt weird.

Xue Yuan shook his head slowly, looking at the silky ripples on the surface of the Qingbi Lake, with a hint of sadness between his eyebrows: "It's because she had nothing to do at the beginning, so she likes to be lively, and now she has something to do, of course she has no time to hang out." ”

Cheng Bei vaguely guessed his thoughts, he didn't dare to intervene in this kind of matter, so he could only huff his waist and carefully accompany him, and at this time, he saw a figure hurriedly walking in, and he didn't even report it.

Jiang You walked straight over, there seemed to be anger in his eyes, and he suddenly stopped, stopped three feet in front of him, pursed his lips and said: "Chonglan has found out, I took advantage of this reason to search his main house, other courtyards, and granges, not only found out the roster of women he ordered people to collect, but also found out the accounts of his contacts with people over the years, as well as the accounts of corruption. ”

Xue Yuan saw her menacing, and couldn't help but squint slightly: "The emperor got what he wanted, and the minister is here to congratulate the emperor first." ”

Jiang You had a cold face: "I looked at his accounts, most of his embezzlement over the years has been paid to Dongchang, from the supervising eunuchs on Jiangnan Road to the eunuchs under your hands, none of them have been left behind!" What do you want to say?! ”

Xue Yuan lowered his eyes, and his expression was very careless: "In the officialdom, it is normal for courtesies to be exchanged, and the ministers can only let themselves not accept it, can they still cut off the wealth of their subordinates?" He raised his eyes slightly to look at her: "The emperor wants to rely on this crime of ruling the minister?!" ”

Jiang You has a soft temperament that eats soft rather than hard, this look fell on her eyes like a provocation, and her fire came up: "Do you think I don't dare?!" ”

Xue Yuan tilted his head and looked at her with a smile: "How does the emperor want to deal with the crimes of his ministers?" ”

Jiang You's face froze, let's not say that she was angry for a while, even if she ordered to arrest someone, who would dare to listen to her?

The two of them had never blushed in one place, and a rare quarrel made everyone frightened and silenced, and the courtyard was a little silent for a while, and only the wind could hear the rustling of willows.

He reached out and wanted to pat her on the shoulder, but she dodged it sideways, and his face stiffened slightly: "Since the emperor is almost done, let's go back to Jinling, and we should almost think about returning to Beijing." ”

Jiang You sneered: "Because Jingli is now your own world?" When I go back, you'll be even better."

Before she finished speaking, he stretched out a finger as white as jade against her lips, and he smiled slightly: "The emperor is wrong, do you really think that only Jingli is the world of ministers?" ”
