Xue Luping, who was untied by the Marquis of Anding, leaned against the wall, and was stunned, thinking back to Xiao Ye lying on the ground, maybe he couldn't have imagined that the salt and iron envoy who seemed to be derelict in his duties every day actually put his energy on other things.

Maybe it's more that he didn't think that this person who had been drinking with him many times was just there, watching him fall in front of him.

He suddenly had the feeling of collecting corpses in the suburbs of Yangzhou that year, but he was sad but couldn't cry.

The sound of a shuffling foot came from outside the cell.

"My lord, but you are thinking about what will happen after returning to Chang'an?"

Xi Yuanxiu also learned from Xue Luping's appearance an hour ago, pulled a bench, dusted it casually, and sat on it looking at each other.

Xue Luping raised his eyelids vigorously, trying to keep himself refreshed, he looked at the young man in front of him, who was still young, and was silent for a while before he spoke.

"No, I just think you're a person, hey, I don't know what to say, well, after the famous family, yes, after the famous family!"

After speaking, Xue Luping squeezed out a wry smile.

The word after the famous family, used here, I don't know if it is to say that Xi Yuanxiu's deduction ability is like his father, or that he is scheming, and he is as calm as a mountain.

After all, Xi Yuanxiu won this game.

Xue Luping lost a mess this time, and the matter of privately offering the royal mansion waist card is already a certainty.

Hiring a murderer to murder an official of the court is a capital crime.

accepted 100,000 taels of silver tickets, intending to harm Prince Yizi, and over the years, he was responsible for shielding the people of his subordinates, but I was afraid that even the ancestral grave of Liangzhou's hometown would be dug away.

Xi Yuanxiu shook his head with a smile, then crossed Erlang's legs, rubbed his boots, and said slowly: "Actually, I still have a lot of things I want to ask my lord?" ”

When Xue Luping heard his words, he was also interested, and slowly rubbed to the entrance of the cell.

"If you have such a calculation, what else do you have to ask?"

"It's not a big deal." Xi Yuanxiu stared at Xue Luping's eyes and asked, "For so many years, hasn't the mirage found out about these things that adults have done?" ”

Xue Luping lowered his head and muttered: "I also thought about it, but the incomprehensible thing, Qingyang and Yangzhou, almost never heard of any officials being arrested by the mirage, and then I didn't take it to heart, just because there were not enough people in the palace!" ”

After Xue Luping finished speaking, he looked at Xi Yuanxiu's solemn expression, he only thought that Xi Yuanxiu was afraid that the mirage would come to the door, and he didn't think about it.

"Lord Xi, after today, I'm afraid Yangzhou will have to be replaced from top to bottom, I'm down, I'm afraid that these people under my hands will not end well, if it weren't for Lord Xi being demoted, I really thought that you were sent by His Majesty to target my Yangzhou Mansion."

The solemnity on Xi Yuanxiu's face gradually faded, revealing his neat eight teeth, and smiling at Xue Luping.

"If Your Majesty intends to let me come here, it will inevitably be too far-sighted, how can it be considered good together with this private salt case, if it is already good, how can I let this Yangzhou become what it is now!"

After Xi Yuanxiu finished speaking, both of them fell into deep thought, and Xi Yuanxiu felt as if he had missed something again.

"I don't know," said Wang Shichang, who was in the cell behind Xi Yuanxiu, "I don't know why Marquis Anding came with the prince today!" ”

Xi Yuanxiu turned his back and said: "Naturally, I wrote a handwritten letter to Hou Ye, but I don't know why you, Wang Darttou, would admit it so happily!" ”

Wang Shichang, who was sealed in the acupoint, smiled lightly: "Since the Hou Ye has arrived, then naturally he can't leave, do you think he will listen to my reckless words, or will he believe the Qincha sent here by the court!" ”

Chivalry is forbidden by martial arts, so the chivalrous guests in Jingguo are not as high-spirited as imagined.

Jingguo did not hold a position of martial arts practitioners, and their status was low, even if you were a famous dart bureau leader, you could not compare to the officials of a small county government.

These reasons are very simple, but Xi Yuanxiu feels that it is not so simple.

"Brother Xiu'er, Master Hou has gone to Guangxing Building, and told you to go over with him, come out quickly, are you used to this place where birds don't!"

Listening to Liu Xiao yelling outside the prison, Xi Yuanxiu responded, got up from the bench, and left.

In the empty cell, only Xue Luping, Wang Shichang and A Qu were left, and they knew that when they went out of this door again, it was time to go to the capital.

......

......

Today's incident happened too quickly and urgently from beginning to end.

From Zhou Wenbin's entry into Yangzhou Mansion, to the scuffle in front of the prison gate, the arrival of the Yangzhou army, the arrival of Anding Hou, Xue Luping and Wang Shichang successively surrendered to the law, and Xiao Ye committed suicide.

These things that seem to be like grandmothers' footwraps only happen in one hour.

The mighty dart game has been cleared, and this royal dart game, which has only shown the tip of the iceberg, has been taken over by the tiger guard.

The rest of the dart masters who had uneven kung fu also scattered the macaques, and snatched up the valuable things in the dart game before the tiger guard took over.

The crown prince and the king rushed to various parts of Yangzhou non-stop to check Xue Luping's property, as well as officials headed by Xue Luping or protected by Xue Luping.

Zhou Wenbin placed Zhao Benliu, who lived in Guangxing Building, as well as Cao Cheng and Jia Daya and others, in Yangzhou Post Station, and was not imprisoned in Yangzhou Mansion because he was afraid of another incident.

After all, these people are in prison together, and who knows what new things will come up with.

On the way to Guangxing Building, Xi Yuanxiu began to plan his return to Chang'an.

However, he knew that he was in a hurry, because the newly appointed prefect of Yangzhou in the court, the salt and iron envoys of the Salt and Iron Division, and the officials from various places all needed to wait for some time.

He also needs An Dinghou to add a few strokes to himself in the documents sent to Chang'an, otherwise his return to Chang'an will be tantamount to ascending to the sky.

However, the Chichao people from all over the country can finally gather in Chang'an this time, so that he will be much easier to investigate the cases of the year than in the previous years.

Liu Xiao kept peeking at the 100,000 taels of silver tickets in Xi Yuanxiu's arms, but he didn't know that Xi Yuanxiu had a plan.

In this way, the two of them returned to Guangxing Building unhurriedly.

Passing through the small two in the building, the two soon arrived at Andinghou's room.

The door was ajar, and as soon as the two of them went upstairs, they saw Xu Lai and An Dinghou in the house having a discussion.

There was a plate of osmanthus cake on the table, and at the top of the cake, there was a carefully placed osmanthus flower.

And above this osmanthus flower, a thick hand and a fair-skinned and slender hand are competing with each other.

The surging energy blew several people around them scattered, but the osmanthus flower was intact, which shows the control of the internal breath of both parties.

"Compared with when I was in Chang'an, I have made some progress!"

"Hou Ye praises falsely, Hou Ye has some meaning of sailing against the current!"

After the two finished speaking, they took the trick together, only to see that the osmanthus flower was sandwiched between Andinghou's fingers, but it didn't match his rough hand.

A tiger guard saw Xi Yuanxiu and the others walking towards the room, and said respectfully to Anding Hou: "Master Hou, the person has arrived!" ”
