After the Longyou Military Report was presented to the Que court, Ni Ruoshui, a scholar of the Zhongshu House, was ordered by the emperor to announce the decree in front of the court, and the family of Wang Haibin was beneficial, and his widow Wang Xun was renamed Wang Zhonghei and raised in the palace. The other generals are according to their military merits, and the rewards are different, among which the commoner Lu Zheng has made extraordinary contributions in it, and there is also the recommendation of the protector of the capital of Anbei, and he is specially promoted to the post of the governor of the capital of Anbei.

Ni Ruoshui read about the defeat of Tubo in the Xuanzheng Hall of the Que Court, and the high-ranking officials and nobles in the entire hall were in high spirits, and the matter of Tubo's offense was finally settled in front of him. However, when they heard that the Feng'an army had killed Wang Haibin in the battle, they were all a little shocked, and the courtiers lamented that the Tang Dynasty had lost a good general, and a large number of Zai Fu nobles such as Yao Chong were also wet with tears.

However, Wang Haibin is not only a brave general, but also a loyal minister, which Xuanzong knows, and his son Wang Zhonghei is only eight years old and was named the doctor of Chaosan.

At this time, outside the Mingde Gate of Chang'an City, a carriage slowly drove to the city gate, and it was Xue Ne and Lu Zheng who came down. Lu Zheng was dressed lightly and simply, with a full body robe, and a crown and a broad belt, because this time he was going to meet the saint, so he had to dress properly, and he didn't dare to lose his honor in front of the palace. And Xue Ne just wore civilian clothes and put the official clothes in a box, so that he would not be too conspicuous and ostentatious, and he could also see Chang'an City, which he hadn't seen for a long time.

After the two entered the city, Lu Zheng was a little surprised, it was really Chang'an City, this square and city were so neat, carved with green tiles, and the eaves were connected.

Lu Zheng and Xue Ne walked, along the way Xue Ne seemed to be preoccupied, but on the other hand, Lu Zheng was in good spirits, this first time he entered Chang'an, he saw many rich gentry and nobles dressed in gorgeous clothes on the street, as well as canopy horses coming in turn.

At this time, Xue Ne was thinking about what he should say when he met the saint, and he was also responsible for Wang Haibin's death, but Yu Shitai did not mention this matter, only the bereavement and the reward, but if the saint asked about it, he also knew everything.

Er Xue Ne said to Lu Zheng: "Wait a while, we will see the saint, and everything will be done according to my eyes." ”

Lu Zheng nodded, but still asked curiously, "Will the Holy Lord ask about Wang Haibin's matter?" ”

"Even if you can't, you have to be prepared, although General Wang Haibin said that he died without retreating, but the saint has always been suspicious, so try to be careful so as not to be slandered."

Xue Ne's words are already clear, and Lu Zheng also knows that you can't speak casually in the palace, not only to speak according to the facts, but also to know how to advance and retreat.

Just as Lu Zheng was watching on the street, the Jin Wuwei sergeant in front was blocking the scene, Lu Zheng was about to probe to look, but was stopped by Xue Ne, Xue Ne said: "Jin Wuwei is checking people, it is on the orders of the emperor, we had better not watch." ”

"But there seems to be someone in front of me who is aggrieved." Lu Zheng looked directly at Xue Ne and said.

Xue Ne and Lu Zheng were ready to bypass the besieging crowd, and when Lu Zheng passed by, he saw a sergeant reprimanding the thief pointed out by the owner of the hotel, and the people around him all sighed that in the Langlang Universe in the land of Gyeonggi, there was actually someone stealing, and she was still a woman who seemed to be good-looking.

However, under the reprimand of Sergeant Jin Wuwei, this person also defended: "This military master is mistaken, I am a maid in Yao Xiang's mansion, this is not that the eldest lady is sick, I came out to buy medicine, and on the way, I saw this shopkeeper and said that I was a thief, and I hope that the military master will investigate clearly." ”

Lu Zheng felt strange after hearing this, so he stood up and saw this maid wearing an emerald blue embroidered dress, with a golden hairpin on her head, and her face was beautiful, she was by no means an ordinary woman, and this woman said that she was a maid in Yao Chong's mansion, which was more reminiscent.

Xue Ne was also a little surprised at this time, thinking that I was afraid that this woman was lying, if it was really the maid in Yao Chong's mansion, then wouldn't these soldiers of Jin Wuwei be a big deal.

However, Lu Zheng looked at the arrogant shopkeeper, and this person insisted that it was this maid who stole the silver taels on the counter of this store, and proved that this woman did this theft after entering the store.

Lu Zheng observed carefully for a while at this time, and found that this woman lacked confidence, and the woman said: "Actually, I came into the store to see if there is any second young master of my family inside." ”

At this time, the shopkeeper said: "You are obviously quibbling, you went to the counter and took the silver taels you just paid, I saw it with my own eyes, and you still want to deny it." ”

At this time, someone in the crowd spoke up again, saying: "It's the shopkeeper who is lying, I also saw that this woman didn't take the silver taels on the counter, someone else took it a long time ago, you are framing." ”

And in an instant, there was a human: "It's not the shopkeeper who is lying, it's this maid who is denying." ”

In short, everyone chattered, and after a little thought about it, Lu Zheng wanted to intervene in this matter, but was stopped by Xue Ne, who said: "What are you going to do, do you want to fight unevenly?" Have you forgotten what we're here for? ”

"But this servant girl was framed, and the shopkeeper obviously has a ghost."

Lu Zheng said, glanced at Xue Ne again, and Xue Ne said again: "Even if you are justified in this Gyeonggi land, don't be too aggressive, after all, you don't know the power behind this shopkeeper at all." If this woman is really a maid in Prime Minister Yao's mansion, she will naturally be able to resolve the situation. If this woman is not from Yao Xiang's mansion and steals silver taels, she will naturally have a place to return. ”

Lu Zheng could understand Xue Ne's words, so he walked out of the crowd, and at this time, a carriage outside the crowd rushed over to eat, attracting the attention of the crowd, and then the nobleman in the carriage opened the curtain of the carriage, showed his face, and said to the crowd: "The girl in the dress is the maid in my house, how could she steal your silver taels." ”

The person who spoke was Yao Chong's second son, Yao Yi, and the people around him all whispered when they saw it: "It turns out that it is really the maid in the prime minister's mansion, and it really didn't deceive people." ”

At this time, Yao Yi jumped out of the carriage and walked to the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper saw that Yao Yi was coming, this Yao Xiang's second son is a well-known gentleman, he would never dare to provoke, so he immediately quibbled to all the onlookers: "Since the second son has said so, it may be that I am dizzy and misguided, so I will no longer pursue it." ”

Yao Yi didn't just say: "Jumpsuit, get in the car." ”

And the dressie girl was a little indignant, and she was not ready to let the black-hearted shopkeeper go, so she stepped forward to tear the shopkeeper's shirt, and then heard Yao Yi say: "Dressie, there is no need to find trouble with the shopkeeper, let's go home." ”

When the dressing girl saw the second son say this, she also calmed her anger, it was originally a deliberate act of the shopkeeper, and this time she did not punish this sanctimonious villain, it was really hateful.

Lianyi and Yao Yi got into the carriage together, Lu Zheng watched the carriage gradually leave, and at this time the people around him also dispersed, Lu Zheng saw that Xue Ne had walked a long way, but he didn't remind himself, so he hurriedly caught up.

When Lu Zheng caught up, he was already out of breath, and said to Xue Ne: "Xue Ne, wait for me, didn't you see it just now, it was the second son of Yao Chong, the prime minister of the dynasty, who settled the matter." ”
