At dawn, a light rain suddenly began.

The spring rain is as precious as oil, and a light rain fills the sky all over Kyoto, and the people of the city open their doors as always, but no one knows that a major case in Kyoto is going on in secret.

The three directors of the Dali Temple interrogation were all poisoned and died overnight, not to mention that the ordinary people in Kyoto, even many civil and military ministers in the court did not know anything about such things.

Of course, Qin Xiao, who was in the Ministry of War, didn't know anything about this.

Qin Xiao ate and slept soundly, woke up early in the morning, and even took time to practice.

He has already done what he has to do, and he has stabbed out the ugly matter of embezzlement of military expenses by Xue Ke, and there is really no way to participate in the next thing, with his identity and status.

"Qin Ling, early!" Fei Qiji's voice came from the side.

Qin Xiao turned his head to look over, and saw that Fei Qiji had obviously just gotten up, and said with a smile: "Fei Lingzhi is early, did you sleep well last night?" ”

"Not good." Fei Qiji shook his head, walked over and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid that such a major event happened in the military department has already spread in Kyoto. Fei's family is in Kyoto, and naturally knows about it, yesterday Dali Temple came to the Treasury Department to take Han away, and we didn't return all night, and the family was afraid that they were frightened and couldn't sleep all night. ”

Han Tian was taken away by the people of Dali Temple from the military department, and Qin Xiao knew that the palace was not indifferent after all.

It's just that he also knows in his heart that this case was not directly handed over to the Criminal Department, but was taken over by Dali Temple, and the palace still has reservations about this case, and he doesn't want to really investigate it with great fanfare, which makes him a little disappointed, but he is helpless.

Standing under the porch, looking at the drizzle outside, the fragrance of the spring rain and the buds on the trees diffused in the air, but it also made Qin Xiao's heart feel peaceful.

Originally, the four officials of the Treasury Department could not leave the yamen of the military department, and they could only eat and drink in the yamen, and there was a special place to eat, but Qin Xiao and the other two officials had a bit of an unpleasant quarrel yesterday, and Qin Xiao simply stopped going to the dining place to be with the two of them.

Qin Xiao's conditions for making friends are very simple, as long as he falls in love and appreciates the other party's character, no matter what the other party's background is, Qin Xiao will be honest with each other, but if he doesn't look down on the other party, even if the other party is the king of heaven, Qin Xiao will not move forward.

People who make themselves uncomfortable, Qin Xiao has always excluded the other party from his list of friends.

"Fei Lingzhi doesn't have to worry too much." Qin Xiao smiled: "This matter has nothing to do with your C-word library, if you really want to be held responsible, it will not be your turn." ”

"That being said, we are all from the Treasury Department." Fei Qiji was worried, and said in a low voice: "In the last Fan Butang case, many of the officials involved in it also suffered unjustified disasters, and there were no eggs under the nest, and the Han chief was really going to be convicted, and the imperial court always had to pull a few people out from the treasury department to make up for people, so as to deter the hundreds of officials in the court and the central government, and to explain to the people of the world." A few of us may be ......! He shook his head with a wry smile, sighed, and didn't continue.

At this time, a small official sent him over early, but Qin Xiao ordered someone to arrange it like this yesterday.

Fei Qiji shook his head and said, "Thank you, but I still can't eat it in the morning." ”

"If you can't eat, go in and have a cup of tea." Since he entered the Ministry of War, there are few people who have caught Qin Xiao's eye, but this Fei Qiji is a generous person, and Qin Xiao has a good impression of him.

Fei Qiji hesitated, did not refuse, and entered the house.

So yesterday, Qin Xiao ordered today's breakfast to be delivered directly to his room.

There are a lot of houses in the Treasury Department, after all, it is a seven-rank order official, and it is naturally not difficult to arrange a room for solitude in the Treasury Department.

"Fei Ling, have breakfast together?" Qin Xiao asked people to put breakfast in the room, and then invited.

"No, absolutely not." Fei Qiji's expression tightened, and he swore an oath: "Since I have managed the C-Treasury, I have seen every shield that enters and exits with my own eyes, and I will never let a defective product enter the C-shaped warehouse. ”

Qin Xiao sighed: "Now it seems that only the Jiazi library has such a. Leaning forward slightly, he leaned closer and said: "Fei Ling, you are an old man in the military department, who do you say can have such a great ability to send the remnant knife into the Jiazi library?" ”

Fei Qiji shook his head, kept his mouth shut, and just drank a cup of tea.

Breakfast was a bowl of hot ravioli, two pancakes, a little pickles and a bowl of soy milk.

Qin Xiao poured a cup of tea for Fei Qiji, and he was not polite, picked up the wontons, took a few bites, the hot wontons warmed his body, put down the dishes and chopsticks, picked up the soy milk and drank a big sip, Fei Qiji saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Qin Lingzhi is really young and vigorous, if I can have your good appetite, I can gain weight in a few days." ”

"Fei Ling, so far, whether it is a blessing or a curse is not for us to decide." Qin Xiao put down the bowl and said with a smile: "Don't be punished by the imperial court at that time, but you are hungry and your body is broken." After making sure that there was no one around, he asked in a low voice: "Fei Ling, you don't have anything to worry about in the C-word library?" ”

Fei Qiji glanced out of the door, then sighed lightly and said in a low voice: "Actually, what you said is not wrong, there are very few people who have the ability to manipulate this matter behind the scenes, and those who have the courage to do this can be counted on one hand." ”

"Fei Ling, do you think this will have something to do with the prime minister or even the princess?" Qin Xiao lowered his voice and said.

Fei Qiji's spirit tightened again, and he hesitated for a moment before he said in a low voice: "The prime minister and the princess will definitely not do such a thing." In fact, both the court and the Chinese government know that the princess and the country are not in harmony, and both sides want to grasp each other's handles, so no matter what these two nobles do, they will not do what they want, but be careful everywhere. Ton by ton, sighed lightly: "It's just that the people around them .....!" As if he felt that he had finally said something he shouldn't have said, he shook his head and didn't continue.

"That person was able to connect the three divisions of the yamen, and he didn't leak any news, his ability is really good." Qin Xiao sighed: "With all due respect, even the ministers of our military department may not be able to have such skills. ”

"Shh Fei Qiji pointed at the corner of his mouth and said in a low voice: "Qin Ling, it's okay if you talk to me about this, when you go out, you must be cautious." Not only must the errand be done well, but the most important thing is to control your mouth, and the trouble will come out of your mouth, and if you say a wrong word, you are afraid that even your head will be gone. ”

Qin Xiao smiled: "If it was someone else, I wouldn't say it." When I first arrived, I felt that Fei Ling's officials were kind and kind, so I talked nonsense. ”

"We're trapped in the yamen, and we won't wait until Dali Temple finishes this case before we leave, right?" Qin Xiao said helplessly.

Fei Qiji also said helplessly: "Wait, if you really want to be able to walk out of the yamen alive, even if you wait for three or five months, it doesn't hurt." ”

Qin Xiao knew that Fei Qiji was most worried about being implicated in this case, but he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, if this case really just found out a group of people who cut off their heads and blamed them in the end, would he be one of them, right?

Qin Xiao knew that Fei Qiji was calm and cautious, and it was already good to be able to say these few words.

"Over there in Dali Temple, can you really find out who is behind it?" Qin Xiao was silent for a moment, and finally asked.

Fei Qiji smiled faintly and said in a low voice: "The palace asked Dali Temple to investigate this case, which already shows that the sage does not want the person behind him to surface, but this case still has to be handled, after all, it is greedy for military spending, which is not trivial, if it cannot be punished severely, this court will be in chaos." ”

After his martial arts cultivation entered the Zhongtian Realm, he could clearly feel that his body was very different from before, especially after each practice, his body was full of breath, and the energy of the whole person was indescribably strong.

It's just that the officials of the military department are not allowed to carry weapons in and out of the yamen, although Qin Xiao is in charge of countless knives and guns in the armor library, but he can't wear a knife on his body, otherwise he has a knife on his body, and he has nothing to do, so he can practice knife skills.

With a little trick, the little master aunt asked the Blood Demon Ancestor Zheng Qianqiu to teach Qin Xiao the housekeeping skill Tianhuo Absolute Sword.

Dou Wei did not order the officials of the military department to leave the yamen, so the upper and lower officials could only continue to wait in the yamen.

Not only the military department, but also the people from the other departments and yamen on Suzaku Street also stayed at home, but the wide Suzaku Street was empty all day long, and it was rare to see a single figure.

Qin Xiao simply closed the door in the morning to practice.

Qin Xiao thought that if he didn't advance in his sword technique, he would retreat, if he didn't practice it all year round, not only would his sword technique regress greatly, but also let down the little aunt's hard work, thinking about finding an opportunity to get a knife and practice secretly.

Before the meal arrived at noon, he suddenly heard a knock on the door outside, Qin Xiao got up, went over to open the door, and saw a small official holding a small box in his hand, and when he saw Qin Xiao, he hurriedly said: "Qin Ling, someone sent a box to the yamen just now, handed it to the guard, and named to hand over this box to you!" ”

Qin Xiao was a little strange, took the box, and asked, "Who sent it?" ”

The Blood Demon Ancestor is the king of the swords, and after getting his personal transmission of the sword technique, Qin Xiao's comprehension of the sword technique is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary swordsmen, but although he has a first glimpse of the door of the Blood Demon Ancestor's sword technique, it is really an extremely long process to truly and fully comprehend the mystery of the Heavenly Fire Absolute Sword, and even to reach the realm of the Blood Demon Ancestor.

Qin Xiao also knew that martial arts were all the way, and he really couldn't be lazy, so whenever he had free time, he would practice the [Taigu Yi Qi Technique], but after coming to Kyoto, he never had the opportunity to practice his sword well.

When he entered the city of Kyoto, the weapons he carried with him were confiscated, and he only brought fish intestines to pierce into the city, which was completely different from the knife, not suitable for knife practice, and the Tang Dynasty implemented the knife hunting order, although the common people were not allowed to hide weapons privately, that is, the officials of the court, that is, they could not hide weapons privately, once they were investigated, it was the crime of rebellion.

"The man said it was a woman surnamed Gu who sent it." The little official said, "Other than that, the man didn't say anything else, handed the box to the guards and left immediately." ”

Qin Xiao was stunned, the only woman with the surname Gu was Qiu Niang, could it really be that Qiu Niang sent someone to send a box to herself?

It's just that why did Qiu Niang suddenly send a box?

He didn't say much, took the box back to the house, after opening the box, his face changed slightly, only to see that the box was a lock of green silk, a letterhead in it, picked it up and opened it, only to see a line of words written on it: "Xuanpingfang Tsing Yi Building set up a banquet, the banquet is held at the time of the unitary, no one comes, never see you again." ”
