249 Invite me to tea
Xu Yong had a smile in his eyes, but his face was calm. He put down his raised hand, and said: "The prince has already completed the formalities for Ling Zun's donation to the official, this is a document, you take the time to hand in the things that should be handed over in the past two days, and fill in the things that should be filled in and return them to me, at the end of the year at the latest, Ling Zun has not run away when he enters the yamen." ”
Yuan Ziyi originally thought that this document was just a donation regulation, because Song Che and Xu Ying had never mentioned it to her before this. Suddenly, I heard that the formalities had been completed, and now all I had left was to fill out the form and hand in the things, and the face that was about to turn the sky turned back suddenly changed again.
"It's really done?" She took the paperwork and flipped through it, still in disbelief.
"Absolutely."
Xu Yong nodded with his hand.
There was really no problem with the paperwork, just explain that all the things were handed over within three days. Yuan Ziyi's anger calmed down a little, although he still felt that it was hateful and indebted to him to fool her about taking shares, but at least he was really looking for her to have something to do instead of being idle and panicking.
Forget it, for the sake of donating officials is a great joy and not suitable for killing, she spared him this time.
"Thank you then." She said.
"Since you thank me, why don't you invite me to a cup of tea?" Xu Yong hit the snake with the stick.
Yuan Ziyi is about to vomit blood again! He's really embarrassed to bear this thank you?! It's not his credit!
"I didn't bring any money today! Sometime! She said, looking at the sky.
"That's right." Xu Yong nodded, "I brought the money, I'll ask you." ”
Yuan Ziyi glared at him.
He smiled, and suddenly turned over and got on the horse: "Teasing you." "Stupid girl.
As he spoke, he rode up to the street.
Yuan Ziyi immediately bent down and picked up a stone and was about to throw it over, he suddenly turned his horse's head and walked back, glanced at her up and down a few times with interest, and finally landed on her fist holding the stone, and said: "By the way, I have been in the house for the past few days when you said about the partnership to open a shop, and you can come to the door to withdraw money when you are free." ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for her to reply, turned around and left.
Yuan Ziyi was so angry that he threw the stone in his hand, but unfortunately he didn't lose it.
Xu Ying: When they arrived in Haijin this way, it was already westerly. The place where I stayed was a post house in the guard. On the way, Su Jin was accompanied, which saved a lot of inconvenience, so she did not change men's clothes, and she lived with Su Jin in the inn. Song Che was next door, and the rest of the people arranged their own arrangements.
The officer who committed the crime this time, Fan Cheng, was originally a tyrant under the jurisdiction of Haijin, but this time he was arrested for a life lawsuit, and he has not yet been convicted. The Fan family still has a certain amount of power. Even when he was in prison, he still asked someone to send the news to the prince, expressing his sincerity in wanting to atone for his crimes.
The first thing Song Che has to do is to go to the guard to investigate this Fan Cheng's crimes, and the second is to go to the prison to meet this Fan Cheng.
There are not many things, but the reasoning can be done in a day.
So that night, Song Che talked to the military attaches who came to meet him, and Xu Ying took Su Jin to roast the fire in the room. It just so happened that when the lamp was turned on, snow particles began to fall again, and gradually turned into snow flakes, then snow blocks, and soon the trees outside the window were covered with a thin layer of snow. Su Jinxun's shopkeeper asked for an incense burner, lit agarwood incense, and put a few refreshments. It's also a different flavor to sit like this.
The next morning, when she was still asleep, Xu Ying was woken up by the laughter downstairs, got up and went to the corridor to take a look, only to see that the snowflakes in the sky had not stopped, and the entire courtyard had been covered with snow half a foot deep, and Shang Hu and the others were rolling snowballs in the yard as kicks. After a while, several male guards around Xu Ying: Chen Yan, Xu Ke, and Luo Quan also joined in, and divided into two teams to improvise a game.
Su Jin was busy finishing the room, waiting for Xu Ying to finish washing. Seeing that she was very interested in downstairs, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Stay for a while, the prince will go out to do errands, and the little one can accompany the princess to walk around the city." ”
"What's there to do in town?" As he was talking, Song Che's voice came from outside the door. "There are low slopes on all sides, so it's better to go for a walk in the mountains!"
He was clothed in a big hat and entered the threshold accompanied by Shang Hu and them. Shang Hu was still unsatisfied, and he was still smiling and patting the snow on his sleeves.
Xu Ying has no opinion, as long as it is not too far, it can be done anywhere. Although she wanted to have fun, she couldn't hold Song Che back.
After breakfast, Song Che took Shanghu and them away, and Xu Ying also led Su Jin and Chen Yan to the small hill behind the post house.
There are no big mountains in the boundary where the Haijin Guard is located, and there are some small hills about ten zhang high around it, because of the defense of the camp, there are no very tall and dense trees, most of them are pine fir and the like, but there are many shrubs under the trees, according to the hundred households sent to be guides in the guard, there are often many rabbits hidden in such low bushes.
Xu Ying changed into a plain brocade suit, looking heroic, and the guide was trembling, for fear of an accident.
She really didn't have any worries about safety, one was that the mountains were short, the second was the camp boundary, the third was that she had a team of more than a dozen people around her to catch rabbits, and there was a village just a mile away, which was like walking around in the backyard of the palace.
Song Che was also very relieved.
The rest of the people went to look for rabbits and pheasants, and Su Jin and Chen Yan led Xu Ying to walk in the snow, for people like Xu Ying who have lived in Beijing for a long time, the scenery is still good, at least better than being bored in the post house.
Su Jin took the gourd and brought ginger jujube tea with her, and handed it to her who was standing in the snow looking at the vista.
Xu Ying took it, tilted her neck, and suddenly found a snow-stained footprint on the trunk in front of her......
A sip of tea choked in her throat, and she immediately choked on the spicy heat of ginger and coughed.
Su Jin hurriedly handed a handkerchief and stroked his back, and waited until he finally recovered his strength, and then looked at the tree, there was indeed a footprint.
There are villages all over here, and it is not uncommon for people to come to the mountains, but it is clearly early in the morning, they are the first to enter the mountains, and even the snow on the ground is complete, how can they leave a footprint on the trees? Of course, the people who can climb the tree are kung fu people, and these footprints are one or two feet above the ground, and the ordinary sergeants in the camp are probably not yet capable of this, right?
In order to avoid being mistaken, she took a closer look and concluded that the footprints were correct.
She always felt a little strange.
"What's wrong?" Su Jin walked over.
She took another sip of ginger tea and pointed to the tree: "You go and ask our people to see if any of them left these footprints?" ”
Su Jin was also stunned when he saw the seal, and immediately turned around to inform Chen Yan. Chen Yan whistled here, and the people who went to look for prey came back from all directions one after another, carrying chickens and rabbits.
When Chen Yan finished speaking, everyone shook their heads like rattles: "Don't say that the little ones don't have such good light skills, even if they do, they are all focused on catching prey, and they don't have the mind to go up the tree." ”
And it makes sense.
But what's the point?
The footprints were still wet, and the snow on the soles of his feet had not melted, so it was evident that the man had not been passing by for a long time. But seeing that the snow on the tree has not moved much, it can be judged that he does have excellent light skills, and if a person can have such good light skills, other above skills must not be too bad. She looked at it with a frown, and said, "Which of you goes up and measures the size of the footprint, or finds a way to extend it." ”
If it's the best person in the tun, if not, you can also take it for a case.
Su Jin and their guards rarely expressed their opinions, but they couldn't help but be in awe when they heard her analyze this, and indeed they thought so in their hearts. Immediately, someone went up and tore off the lining of the robe and printed it on the footprints, and broke some turpentine to draw a clear outline.
The guards have all practiced scouting, and it is a piece of cake for rubbing and forensics.
"Let's go back to the inn." She shoved the lining cloth to Su Jin.
Song Che took Fan Cheng's crime in the guard, this was what the prince wanted, he didn't care, and while he was waiting, he inspected the barracks by the way. After having dinner at noon and resting for a while, Fan Cheng was brought over.
Fan Cheng is forty-two years old, and the prisoner's eyes are still full of anger.
But under the forced gaze of Song Che, who was sitting majestically at the top, he couldn't help but bend his waist.
"I heard that you have something to bring to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Song Che was holding the tea, and his eyes didn't fall on him much of the time.
Fan Cheng stole at him and said, "The lower official has something to give to His Royal Highness the Prince, but dare to ask His Royal Highness, has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince promised to make a small contribution?" ”
Although he had never seen this prince before, he also knew that he relied on the emperor's favor to do this thing, and he was not afraid of him, if the prince didn't want to get this thing, he wouldn't pay attention to him at all, since he also sent him Song Che over, it can be seen that he attaches great importance to it, so Song Che wants to take that thing from his hand is not so light.
Song Che looked at this guy behind the teacup, and there was fire in his eyes.
If he had been in the past, where would he have allowed him to have a second word? It's been a long time coming. But what he is doing now is a long-standing mystery case, even if he can teach this surnamed Fan a lesson with one punch, it is a great loss not to get the clues in his hands.
He put the cup down, got up and said, "I only have this day in Haijin, if you don't hand it over before dinner, then you will never have a chance to hand it in again in your life!" I have never seen anyone who can blackmail the imperial court in this way. He coldly shook his eye and slashed at him.
Fan Cheng knew that it was not a lie, and he was a little nervous.
Someone at the door of the hall waved at Song Che, it was Haijin's commander Pang Sheng. Song Che paused and walked over.
Pang Sheng gave a deep salute again, and then said: "I just found out that Fan Cheng has an outer room living in Jinyun Lane in the north of the city, this woman is very popular with him, what the adults are looking for, maybe go to Jinyun Lane to ask." ”
In fact, they didn't know what Song Che wanted when he came to Fan Cheng, and Fan Cheng himself never confided half a word, but it would never be wrong to pat the sycophants of this prince.
Song Che didn't speak here, but Shang Hu walked in again: "Master, the princess is here." ”
Xu Ying came back from the mountain, she stayed in the post house and didn't go anywhere, the footprints always hovered in her heart, but it was normal everywhere in the camp, and Chen Yan and they had visited it, and the defense was also very thorough, and she felt that she was a little too suspicious.
After hearing that the guard house was only half a mile away from the post house, she found this place after resting and sleeping. (To be continued.) )
