In the Ciyuan Palace, the sound of the piano is insignificant, and a piece of music echoes in the hall, and the palace attendants all know that this is the Empress Dowager's favorite song. And only Xie Shi, who was leaning on the back of the chair, knew that this song was played when she got married, and after listening to it for decades, it was second to listen to it at every turn, and what she wanted was that state of mind.

"According to the ministers and other parties, most of them are rumors, such as this strange trick, the ministers and others personally entered Jiankang City, visited thousands of people, some said to see, some said to hear, but no one can cite the real thing, the words are exaggerated, but it is not credible." When the man in the temple said this, he raised his head and peeked at it.

"Go on." It was not Xie Shi himself who spoke, but a middle-aged female official in front of her seat, who quickly lowered his head and answered, and took out a handful of paper from his sleeve.

"There are a few things that are true, before the siege of the Tartars, the people in the palace had ordered the people attached to the city to move into the city, in order to prevent those houses from being used by the enemy, so they sent soldiers to tear them down, and this matter has the testimony of the current general judge Zhang Shixun and others, this is one of them."

"Because of the people who moved in too much, they could only sleep in the streets and alleys, when the weather was still cold, and the hungry people were frozen, it was the old house to discuss with the scholars, borrowing the school palace for a purpose, during which the students also entered the curtain to help defend the city, and the ministers had the testimony of the scholars and dozens of students, which was the second."

No need to listen to it anymore, Xie Shi can already think of the result, she closed her eyes and shook her head, she thought that so many crimes, even if most of them are false, there are always one or two things that are true, with that kid's merits, even if he is smaller than himself, he can suppress it, and it is not a big matter of betraying the lord and treason, but who would have thought that after some investigation, it would be such a result.

Is this fault? It's a merit at all, a detail like this, will it be written in the military newspaper, she finally understood why the kid had so much confidence that day, and she was still faintly worried.

Today's recital, there are only Chen Wenlong, the admonition of that day, and another minister who was ordered to investigate, in order to show fairness, this person was personally selected by her to ensure that it is not any one of the people.

"As for the last one, after the minister's visit, the siege of the city for several months, he has never stayed in the city's smoke street willow lane, for this reason, the minister also specially asked some witnesses, what is the appearance of the person, no one answered accurately, so the minister is sure."

Xie Shi smiled dumbly, the officials were scheming, that was an unspoken rule, although the law was not allowed, who was really convicted for this? Don't say no, even if you do, you can't get on the stage, no courtier will attack your colleagues for this, then you will touch the bottom line.

At this moment, she suddenly heard the originally smooth piano sound break for a while, although the musician immediately continued it, but she had listened to this piece for decades, and almost every turn was clear in her heart, such a mistake, others may not be able to hear it, how could it escape her ears, Xie Shi glanced at the bead curtain behind him, revealing a thoughtful expression.

"Therefore, the ministers and subordinates finally came to the conclusion that the matter added by Liu Zhige should be untrue, and this is a confession testimony obtained by the ministers during the investigation, both officials and ordinary people and ordinary soldiers, and the white bodies used by the ministers and others during the visit, and the testimony is credible, and I hereby respectfully request the Empress Dowager to read it."

After that, he presented the things in his hand, and the female officer in front of the seat came to pick it up, Xie Shi opened his eyes and looked at the paper in front of him, which seemed to be thickly covered with handprints, and she picked up one of the ones casually, and the words were so small that she was dizzy.

"Chen Wenlong, according to what you said, you also heard Taige's words just now, what do you think of such a result? Do you want to read these testimonies? Xie Shi glanced at the other person in the hall, standing tall and calm.

"The minister is the official, the news is the minister's own duty, and the investigation and verification is someone else's business, and the minister has no objection to this result." Chen Wenlong raised the board and said respectfully.

is worthy of being the champion, the result is very ideal, Xie's mood is also a lot better, and his eyes are a little appreciative, such a direct minister is also needed by the imperial court. She waved her hand disappreciatively, and the female officer immediately understood, and the two of them bowed and both withdrew.

"Have you arrived?" After a while, Xie's voice rang out again.

"The saint has arrived, so let him come." The middle-aged female officer bowed down and replied softly.

A man dressed in the guard's uniform came forward to salute, and it was evident that he had come after a special cleaning, and there were still undried water stains on his forehead, and when he finished the salute, the female officer immediately asked him to get up and answer.

"The ministers followed them into Jiankang, followed all the way, all their actions were recorded, who they met, what they talked about, and there were also inquiries afterwards, this is the report of the ministers, and I ask the saint to take a look." The man also took out a stack of papers, which was thicker than the one just now, and the female officer took it and put it on the case, glancing at Xie's expression.

"Tell me the result." Seeing that she didn't realize that she didn't say anything, the female officer turned her head and said something downward.

"Yes, according to the minister's view, this Mrs. Liu has a very good reputation among the people, he personally led the troops to guard the West Gate at that time, and fought bloody battles with the Tartars several times, and he deserves to be called the first soldier, and some colleagues are also praised, and those military exploits are inappropriate." The man spoke cautiously, and although there was evidence, there was room between his words.

"As for the rumors, the investigation of the imperial history is also very detailed, the minister has nothing to say, the minister is the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, and the affairs of the court are not the beak of the ministers, only the saint can judge." The man bowed and said, the female officer peeked at it, only to see Xie Shi nodding slowly, and she seemed to be relieved.

"Go down, you know the rules, don't talk nonsense." Before ordering the man to withdraw, the female officer reminded him in a tone that only the two of them could hear clearly.

Before returning to the seat, Xie Shi didn't know what he was thinking, and looked at the two handfuls of paper on the case with a slight distraction. After a moment, she picked up the handpiece that the man had brought her, perhaps knowing her habits, and the words on it were written in large letters.

She flipped through the lines at a glance, occasionally stopping at some paragraphs, and the thick stack was about to finish, and she seemed to see something of interest, and picked up the last piece of paper and put it in front of her.

"Huh?" The female officer suddenly heard a soft sound, turned her head with some curiosity, and found that the corners of the empress dowager's mouth rose slightly, and a hint of a smile appeared, and she couldn't help but be surprised, how long has it been since she had seen it.

Xie Shi stood up with the piece of paper, and seeing the direction she wanted to go, the female officer immediately took a few steps forward and hurriedly opened the bead curtain behind her. Stepping on the rhythm of the song, Xie walked to the piano seat and stood there looking at the woman who was stroking the qin, with a smile on her face, not knowing whether she was appreciating the music or the people.

"Your piano skills have improved again, and it seems that this trip to Jiangdong has gained a lot." When the music was finished, before the woman got up to salute, she nodded and said.

The woman stepped forward with some trepidation, knowing in her heart that she didn't play this song well, the more she went to the back, the more distracted she became, there was more than one mistake or omission, it was impossible for Xie Shi not to hear it, so it seemed to mean something else.

Xie Shi waved his hand to the back, and when the female official saw this, she led the palace people out and gave the entire inner room to the two of them.

"Sit, tired from standing." Xie Shi walked to the back seat and lay down horizontally, she had been sitting for a long time just now, and she was indeed a little tired.

The woman said "um", but did not sit down according to her words, but turned behind Xie Shi and gently helped her rub her shoulder, Xie Shi also closed her eyes, she didn't know if her piano skills had improved, this skill was really improving.

"You've seen him in Jiankang? A few times. Just when the woman thought she was about to fall asleep, she heard this sentence coldly.

"The slave is collecting wind in the city, he is the chief official in the city, and he has met occasionally, but he has no deep friendship." The woman kept her hands in her hand and whispered.

"Oh, the piano music helps, and the hospital detects the flaws, all of them are nothing? The gang of killers in the Imperial City Division are deceiving the old body? Xie Shi suddenly opened his eyes and lifted the paper in his hand, and the woman took it and looked at it, her face was shocked, and her body was shaky.

"The slave is guilty, please punish the Empress Dowager." The woman did not dare to refute, so she walked up to her and prostrated herself to plead guilty.

"The old man asked you, he has entered your house several times, how many hours before and after, have you done anything?" Xie Shi sat down, stared into the woman's eyes and asked, his tone becoming a little harsh.

"No, he came only to listen to the music, there is a slave's maid as a witness, the slave has never been alone with him, if the saint still does not believe, you can invite the female official in the palace to come, and you will know it at a check." The woman raised her head and replied calmly, Xie Shi looked at it for a long time, and finally nodded.

"Arise, you are trustworthy, and if you say no, that is it. It's just that why I haven't heard you mention it since I came back, and now he's about to get married, how can this be good? ”

Xie put on a smiling face, pulled her up and sat beside him, patted her hand and said.

"The slave has no selfish feelings with him." The woman bowed her head and said.

"No?"

"Don't dare to deceive the saint, he once personally told the slave that he would not dare to have fellowship with a woman like a slave." Thinking of the situation that day, the woman still remembered it vividly, and two red clouds flew up on her face unconsciously.

"Oh, that's still called no personal feelings?" Xie watched her expression change playfully, and quipped, which made the woman even more frightened.

"Whether there is or not, forget about him." After teasing for a while, seeing that she was at a loss and in tears, Xie Shi sighed and said.

On the seaside of Ninghai County, Liu Yu had just separated from Hu Sansheng, and the latter did not agree to his suggestion, nor did he refuse on the spot, but only said that he would go back and consider it, Liu Yu understood his thoughts very well, and did not force it, and when he left, he sat on a big stone by himself, stretched out his feet and looked at the scenery there.

"She's fine." The sound of footsteps came into his ears, and Liu Yu didn't need to look back to know who was coming, he supported his body with his hands, tilted his head and said.

"It's good, but it's broken, and there's no sound." The pheasant slave sat down beside him and handed over an object, and Liu Yu looked at it and saw that it was the kidney X that he had sent.

"No power, little thing." I just pressed it and knew what was going on, and the pheasant slave didn't know what electricity was, but she knew that this thing was the same as a microphone, and it had to rely on it to use.

"What is a 'bridesmaid'? How long will I be a bridesmaid? The pheasant slave continued.

"Even if you accompany the bride, you also know that there is something wrong with her, I am afraid that she will be cranky, and you can feel at ease when you look at it." Liu Yu replied casually, he was not worried that Jing Niang would commit suicide, but he was afraid that the pheasant slave would be bored and find something for her to do.

"Well, you're about to get married, have you ever thought about your sister?"

The pheasant slave's words made him stunned, how long had he not dreamed? Those tragic events, he subconsciously didn't want to recall. Every time I think about it, it's like being torn open by life, and it hurts bloodily.

"Naturally, she is in my heart, and she is there." Liu Yu stretched out his finger and pointed into the distance and said.

The pheasant slave raised her head and saw that where the sea and the sky met, a round of red sun was slowly falling, the afterglow was sprinkled on the sea, and the large clouds were dyed golden, smiling brightly in the sky, she imagined what it looked like in that photo, and couldn't help but be stupid.
