"That's right! Something happened to Xia Jingying! Zhao Shanqian looked nervous and clapped his hands helplessly.

Liu Yan asked nervously, "What's wrong?" ”

"Dead ......" Zhao Shanqian said during Ai Ai, "Dead!" ”

"Dead?" Liu Yan was also a little surprised, "When did it happen?" Why so suddenly? ”

"In the morning, when the official was delivering food to Xia Jingying, he found that he had hanged himself in his study! After inspection, the time of death should have been around the second watch last night! ”

Liu Yan lowered his head and thought, the sun shone obliquely on the snow that had not yet melted, and the light was dazzling on his face even paler, Xia Jingying died suddenly, this is not a good sign, as soon as he dies, the position of the head of the household department will be vacant immediately, and then King Ning will definitely try his best to arrange people to fill it, this time the emperor may not listen to his own opinion again, after all, Xia Jingying was recommended by himself, and now he is not only involved in the forced expropriation of the people's fertile land, but also makes the treasury deficit case full of complaints, Xia Jingying's sudden death is small, but now how can he find a suitable person to take this position?

"Your Highness......"

Zhao Shanqian screamed a few times, Liu Yan came back to his senses, stepped into the middle hall thoughtfully, and then sat on the first seat with a stunned expression. Zhao Shanqian stood aside and looked at the prince suspiciously, not daring to disturb again.

Liu Yan's mind at the moment turned a thousand times, and after thinking about it, Xia Jingying died like this, and just took over the case, anyway, there is no proof of death, isn't it very easy to determine this crime, and then deal with this case without fear of burning himself, leaving his son who is in a nest, forgive him and do nothing, so a smile suddenly appeared on his face, "Death is death, why make a fuss." ”

Zhao Shanqian looked at the crown prince puzzled, unable to see through what he was thinking at the moment, "Your Highness? That...... The case should be ...... How to dispose of it? ”

Liu Yan said with a look of victory in his hand: "If you play the Holy Lord, you will say that this case is a big matter and it is difficult to decide, so please ask the Holy Lord to decide." When the time comes, Hongu will personally come forward to deal with the matter. ”

Yesterday was an apocalyptic scene, but today there are already signs of a lively New Year, although the sun has just climbed the eaves, but you can already feel the warmth of the coming spring. In the courtyard of Lu Mansion, the snow on a few thin peach trees was shining by the sun, and the snow on the small garden incense path was also a foot thick, Lu Zuo leaned on the chaise longue under the eaves, half a ray of light reflected on his pale cheeks, and his eyes were slightly closed with a comfortable face, enjoying a moment of tranquility. Suddenly, Lu Zuo felt a warmth on his body, and when he opened his eyes, Jing Ruo was holding a large coat and carefully covering his body, his eyes were full of love.

Jing Ruo smiled and whispered, "After all, it still disturbed your good time." It's extremely cold when the snow melts, so you have to worry about the wind chill! ”

Lu Zuowan smiled, "It's okay!" ”

"Looks like you're in a good mood today!"

Lu Zuo smiled and said, "It's still seen by you." While speaking, Lu Zuo saw that Lao Pan ordered a few people to come into the courtyard with brooms, so he shouted, "Lao Pan, what are you doing with brooms this morning?" Isn't it to sweep the snow? ”

Lao Pan stood in the courtyard, hurriedly stopped the work in his hand, and said to Lu Zuozuo: "Say hello to the master!" Exactly! The snow fell very heavily last night, and we have to sweep the snow away quickly, otherwise the snow will melt away, and the cold in the yard will be too heavy, but I'm afraid that you won't be able to stand it, master. ”

Lu Zuo laughed and waved his hand, "You don't have to. Last night's heavy snow was rare, and God worked hard to make this night's heavy snow, so there is more than a foot of snow today, which is very precious! Wouldn't it be a tyrannical thing to just sweep it away? You don't have to sweep it, just watch it slowly melt away, it's interesting. ”

Old Pan Leng was there, he didn't understand what the old man said, he looked at the old man with a questioning face, and then turned his eyes to Mrs. for help, "This ...... Madame, look at ......"

Jing Jingruo smiled slightly, "Since the master said so, let's do it!" You also add a few clothes, it's weird cold in the yard! ”

Lao Pan nodded, and then beckoned his subordinates to take the broom and quickly retreat.

After seeing that everyone was leaving, Jing Ruo turned his head and asked Lu Zuo with a smile, "What the prime minister just said seems to have another meaning?" ”

Lu Zuo smiled and leaned back in the chair, looking relieved, "Jingruo, you guessed right again!" ”

"What's the matter?"

"Haha...... That's right! You guessed it right, Madame! Lu Zuo seemed to be still enjoying the warm moment at this time, lying on the recliner with his eyes closed, drinking and singing, "The old man is on the other side, and he can't forget it......

Seeing his smug look, Jing Jingruo smiled: "Look at you!" ”

"Master, Master......" Yin Ji ran to the gate of the courtyard, stood under the dripping eaves opposite, and shouted through the patio, "Fan Gongzi asks to see!" ”

Lu Zuo stopped the beat, opened his eyes, pointed to the eaves above Yin Ji's head, and said to Jing Ruo with a smile: "Jing Ruo looks, the magpies on the roof are chirping, this is a happy event coming!" ”

Jing Jingruo smiled slightly, and went back to the house. Leaving only Yin Ji, who was unknown, stood under the eaves, he looked at the roof, scratched his head and muttered, "This ...... Where did the magpie come from? Why didn't I see it? ”

"Old Pan ......," Lu Zuo said, "Let Fan Gongzi wait for me in the study!" ”

After Lu Zuo got dressed, he walked to the study in the snow, and saw that Yin Ji was serving tea to Fan Gongzi, so he coughed lightly. Fan Enyu looked up and saw that it was Mr. Lu, and quickly got up from the chair, and was about to give a salute, when Lu Zuo waved his hand to signal that there was no need to say: "Fan Gongzi doesn't have to be formal, he came here, just like he came from home!" ”

Fan Enyu also made a gesture of invitation, "Mr. Lu, you also sit down and talk!" ”

Lu Zuo sat down unhurriedly, and when he saw Fan Enyu smiling, he also smiled: "Things are going well?" ”

After all, Fan Enyu couldn't restrain his excitement, and clapped his hands and praised: "Mr. is really amazing!" ”

Lu Zuo waved his hand, "This has to rely on Fan Gongzi's full help to be able to get twice the result with half the effort!" ”

"Let's talk about it first!" Fan Enyu said, "Since the matter has been completed, I am here to say goodbye to Mr. today, and if you don't go back to Lanzhou, it will be too late!" ”

"Sure you want to go!" Lu Zuo felt a little regretful, "Why don't you stay in the capital and spend this year with Lu?" On Lord Lingzun's side, Brother Fool can help speak, presumably Lord Zun Ling Zun will give Brother Fool this thin face! ”

"This ......" Fan Enyu hesitated slightly, thinking about it or forgetting it, "It's still not troublesome sir, this catastrophe broke through in the capital, and he still stayed here for the New Year, it was too ostentatious, and it was not easy to explain it to his father, but this matter had to be troublesome for Mr. to explain it clearly on his father's side." ”

"Fan Gongzi, don't worry, I have already said it to Ling Zun. Also, the Criminal Department and Jingzhao Mansion have also asked people to take care of it, and if you want to go back now, Jingzhao Mansion will not embarrass you! ”
