After a cup of tea, the servants led Wu Yi into the hall. After Wu Yi entered the hall to give the salute, Xia Tong said as if he had seen a savior: "Brother Wu, let's talk about it, whether Li Yun and Fan Enyu know each other!" Xia Tong secretly winked at Wu Yi as he spoke. Wu Yi didn't reply, but just bowed respectfully to Xia Tong

"Silence!" Zhao Shanqian motioned to Xia Tong not to speak, and then asked Wu Yi, "Wu Yi, you don't need to know anything else, the official only asks you, what is the relationship between Li Yun and you?" ”

"Li Gongzi is an old friend under him, and he is also a classmate and friend who studies together!"

Zhao Shanqian nodded, "Hmm...... So what is the relationship between Li Yun and Fan Enyu? Do they know each other? ”

Wu Yi turned his head and glanced at Xia Tong, who hurriedly took the opportunity to blink and purse his lips without being discovered. Wu Yi then continued to reply: "Whether Li Yun and Fan Enyu know each other, the grass people don't know. ”

Xia Tong was on the spot in an instant, like five thunderbolts, and the whole person was paralyzed on the ground, motionless.

At this time, Fan Enyu also stood up and said, "My lord, if I met Li Yun, how could I still fight?" Xia Tong's conspiracy is really ridiculous, these are just his villain's heart to spend the belly of a gentleman, in this case, their father and son colluded, and the design of the pit to harm me is full of human and material evidence. I hope that the adults will give me justice. ”

Zhao Shanqian scratched his head and frowned when he heard this, it stands to reason that he is the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion and has the right to convict in court, but the one kneeling in the hall is the son of the Shangshu of the Household Department of the Dynasty, and their family is still a celebrity in front of the prince, if Xia Tong is convicted, then it will inevitably affect Xia Jingying, after all, without his nod, Xia Tong will not be able to get it. Zhao Shanqian gritted his teeth, slapped the shocked wood, and said sharply: "This case implicates the officials of the current dynasty, and this official needs to be reported to the court for trial." Without waiting for the subordinates to justify, he called out to the officer, "Come! The suspect Xia Tong was detained first. When the case is not concluded, the other sufferers must wait at home for the summons at any time, otherwise they will be punished as criminals! ”

After the trial of this case, it was already early afternoon, and in the afternoon of the same day, the news began to go viral in the capital, and everyone in the streets and alleys talked about it. When Xia Jingying returned home, when he learned about this incident, he even took the case, but after Shaoqing calmed down, he hurriedly got on the horse and went to the prince's mansion.

In the prince's mansion, Zhao Shanqian had already reported to the prince in the study. Liu Yan was also furious when he heard the news, what he didn't expect was that the situation would progress in this direction, and Xia Jingying would also be implicated in this case. The prince was so angry that he stomped his feet, and when he heard the housekeeper come to report that Xia Jingying asked to see him, he shouted: "There is still a face, let him come in!" ”

After a while, Xia Jingying came to the study with a sad face, and saw the prince's back in front of the bookcase, looking at the plaque in the middle hall. Xia Jingying hurriedly knelt on the ground, wept bitterly and said, "Your Highness...... Your Highness...... Please also ask Your Highness to save the lower official......"

Liu Yan snorted coldly and sneered: "Xia Shangshu is so capable, I don't dare!" ”

Xia Jingying hurriedly paused and bowed again, "I've tormented the lower official, I hope Your Royal Highness will see that the lower official is still loyal to you, hurry up and save the lower official!" ”

Liu Yan turned around, walked to Xia Jingying angrily, pointed at him and said, "Xia Jingying, Xia Jingying!" You are usually cautious in everything, how can you be so ignorant of the rules, and dare to automatically seal the user department. I said at the beginning that you would lose at the hands of your precious son sooner or later. ”

"Xia Guan understands, he was also confused for a while, and he was confused by the dog, things were originally seamless, but now something has gone wrong......"

"What's wrong?"

"The dog said at the time that the land in the southern suburbs was a treasure of feng shui and asked me to buy it, but where did I have so much money, so he thought of a soft and hard plan, the soft plan is the temptation, and the hard plan is coercion, so that I can move the user department to achieve this. At that time, where did I agree, the dog was also slapped by me, and then he said that this land was bought, and when the time came, it was dedicated to Your Highness, so the lower official hesitated, and then thought about Your Highness, you have the grace of reinvention to me, and the dog said that a person named Li Yun is the landlord's own family, I think this matter was originally seamless will be agreed, who would have thought that Li Yun would betray us! ”

Liu Yan was stunned for a moment, and glanced back at Zhao Shanqian who was standing behind him, and he also looked at Liu Yan suspiciously. Liu Yan continued: "So this person named Li Yun is the key to this case? ”

Zhao Shanqian said: "Exactly! It was Li Yuanwai who identified Xia Gongzi, and then Li Yun confirmed it. ”

"Who is this man? Have you found out? ”

Xia Jingying hurriedly replied: "Li Yun is not only the son of a wealthy merchant in the capital, he is also the grandson-in-law of Yan Ziqi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. ”

Liu Yan was stunned, "Li Yun's background is quite deep!" This Yan Lao Shangshu has been in the dynasty for decades, and he has been conscientiously and deeply appreciated by the emperor, and your matter is becoming more and more complicated now. ”

As soon as Xia Jingying heard that the prince's tone seemed to have no room for maneuver, he became even more anxious, "Your Highness...... For the sake of the subordinates' loyal service to you, you will be saved no matter what! ”

Liu Yan sighed and patted Xia Jingying's shoulder gently, his eyes were also a little confused, but he still comforted him and said, "This matter will be handled by this palace!" This palace will deal with the emperor, with my current strength, it is not difficult to ask for a favor for you, or change the sentence separately! Then he instructed Zhao Shanqian, "Shanqian! You can postpone this matter for a while, you don't have to rush to announce the verdict, and wait for the palace to clarify to the emperor before making a decision! ”

Xia Jingying bowed his head again, as if he had found a great savior, with tears in his eyes, "Your Highness Xie......"

"Now go back! Remember, don't come to me until it's done. If there is any situation, this palace will send someone to inform you as soon as possible! Liu Yan knows that now is a sensitive period, if Xia Jingying is really implicated, and when he comes to him again, it is inevitable that he will talk long and short, if it is passed into the ears of the emperor's grandfather, it will not be good.

Watching Xia Jingying's back disappear into the courtyard, Liu Yan gritted his teeth and squinted slightly, looking at the courtyard and thinking for a long time. The cold wind was howling in the courtyard, and the flowers on a few plum trees were fluttering and falling with the wind, making the courtyard more and more depressed, until Zhao Shanqian gently called twice, and Liu Yan came back to his senses.

Zhao Shanqian bowed and said: "Your Highness, then the lower official will do what you instructed, there is nothing to do, the lower official will leave first!" ”

Liu Yan nodded thoughtfully, he had a lot of thoughts in his heart at the moment, Xia Jingying must be saved, but how to tell the emperor? Although he made a package ticket with Xia Jingying just now, where is the matter so simple, but if he is not rescued, he will definitely be dismissed and investigated, and maybe he will implicate himself and himself? Just as Zhao Shanqian's left foot stepped out of the door, Liu Yan hurriedly said, "Slow! ”
