"The two highnesses, the people under your command have invited Lord Xiao here!"

Xue Luping didn't give him face twice because Zhou Wenbin had already given him face, so his subordinates didn't inform Zhou Wenbin who was sitting on it after he brought it in.

But Zhou Wenbin didn't mind, he just thought that it would be good to handle this case clearly, although the scenery of Yangzhou in September was infinite, but he really felt that this Xue Governor's Mansion was too disgusting, which made him a little dislike this place.

It would be nice to send an elegant man to serve here!

The middle-aged man standing behind Xue Luping, looking carefully, his hands were constantly sweating, rubbing against his official uniform, and he was still doing this action from the moment he entered the door.

It's just that Xue Luping's kung fu with a word, the originally smooth official uniform was wrinkled by those two hands!

"The lower officials are stationed in Yangzhou Salt and Iron Division, and Xiao Ye is the envoy of the Salt and Iron Division, see His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the King, Lord Qincha!"

After Xiao Ye finished speaking, he glanced at Zhao Benliu, who was kneeling on the ground, and secretly scolded in his heart, thinking in his heart, if it weren't for your blindness, how could I come here to accompany you to be tried.

Looking at the current situation, I don't know what to do, he has been here for more than five years, but he didn't come up with such a thing.

Xiao Ye thinks that he has handled the salt transportation well enough, but as soon as this kind of mistake comes out, when the case is solved, let alone his black gauze hat, I am afraid that he will not even be able to save his life!

Li Yuanhuan looked at Xiao Ye, who had just entered the lobby, with a subtle smile, nodded to him, and said, "You stand aside first, this king and the crown prince are still waiting for the prisoner to reply!" ”

Xiao Ye hurriedly stepped aside, for fear of asking himself now, will he be comfortable for a while!

The expression on Li Yuanqing's face was not as stretched as that of His Royal Highness the Offering King, but his expression was becoming more and more solemn now!

He knew that if the case was solved by his prince's younger brother, it might be true that the East Palace would change hands sooner or later, as the ministers of the court and the central government said.

And even if his younger brother, who is usually like a spring breeze, really doesn't fight, he is afraid that his father will be blown by the pillow wind, he is very afraid!

Because the ugly faces of the emperors of the past dynasties have been instilled in his brain since he was a child, although the tiger is poisonous and does not eat children, it is not said that the tiger is hungry and will not eat his brother.

"You explain what the king asked you just now!"

Li Yuanqing now wants to take the initiative, he must first pry Zhao Benliu's mouth open, so that he can win first!

Zhao Benliu saw the hungry wolf-like prince, and his heart was even more afraid, and he said tremblingly: "My batch of fruits can't be sent to the capital, so I'm ready to send them to Jizhou, I can't watch my goods go bad!" ”

"But I heard that you personally said that you sent it to the big man in Beijing at the gate of the city that day, I don't know which one you sent it to, the Chai family, the Wang family, or my Li family?"

Zhao Benliu seemed to be gagged by a white-flour steamed bun that had just come out of the steamer, and he couldn't say a word, he didn't know how to answer the words of this prince, he just kept looking at Li Yuanqing's eyes!

At this time, Li Yuanhuan picked up the conversation again, shook the folding fan in his hand, and said: "You don't dare to take the waterway because there are officers and soldiers stationed at each dock stall, but how can you think that you can get out of Yangzhou City?" Or have you always walked this route and no one has ever checked your car! ”

After Li Yuanhuan finished speaking, Xue Luping next to him almost knelt down, this Yangzhou is his home, from murder and arson, to neighborhood disputes, as long as it is the boundary of Yangzhou, it has something to do with him, the prefect.

This time, the case came to him again, and just when he was still thinking about how to answer, Zhou Wenbin couldn't bear it, and he asked Xiao Ye, who was watching the play on the side: "Lord Xiao's salt and iron envoy has never found the slightest trace of illegal salt, and you haven't even seen a sack of salt?" ”

Xiao Ye replied respectfully: "Lord Hui, Xia Guan really knows nothing, except for our official's salt farm, even the people are drying salt in their own wells, Xia Guan has never seen it, let alone pulling dozens of bags of salt on the road, if it weren't for the arrest of this group of people, Xia Guan estimates that it will be difficult to see in this life!" ”

After Zhou Wenbin listened to the words, he didn't know what was wrong, he clenched the shocking piece of wood in his hand, Li Yuanhuan and Li Yuanqing's martial arts are not bad, and he immediately discovered the changes in this Qincha lord, Li Yuanhuan subconsciously inquired.

"Lord Zhou, what are you?"

"Back to His Royal Highness, the minister is just a little recurrent for a while, His Royal Highness Xie cares, the minister is fine!"

Zhao Benliu didn't expect that the questions of the two princes would be on the point, and he didn't know how to answer, so he decided not to speak.

Because except for the mirage, the rest of the people in Jingguo can't abuse lynching and torture into tricks, even if you are the prince.

Li Yuanhuan saw that he couldn't ask anything if he asked any more, he looked at the sky outside and it was not early, so he got up and said: "Third brother, Lord Zhou, this king is not too early to see the time, it is better to choose a day for a second trial, this king should know and know, if you two still have questions, please continue, this king will take the first step!" ”

After finishing speaking, he smiled at everyone, and without waiting for a few people present to respond to him, he walked out of the yamen in three or two steps.

Li Yuanqing also seemed to have thought of something, and said to Zhou Wenbin: "It's better to take this prisoner into custody first, and the palace also has something to do!" ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was even more domineering, he didn't look at these people at all, and asked the entourage waiting at the door to lead the horse over and ride it south!

Zhou Wenbin was not very comfortable because Xiao Ye was difficult to see these four words in this life, so he dealt with two sentences casually and left with his entourage.

But what's interesting is that when Li Yuanhuan got up, everyone present had their own ideas, but in comparison, Liu Xiao, who had just returned to the county government, had more ideas at the moment!

"Xi Yuanxiu, what are you two doing!"

As soon as Liu Xiao entered the yamen, he didn't wait to say what happened in Yangzhou, and he was shocked by the scene in his eyes.

It was originally a wasteland in the courtyard, and there was a fountain that swayed wantonly, and the whole yard seemed to have been washed with water, and it was exceptionally clean.

Because the county government was flooded, those cute little things went to rest on other trees today.

Xi Yuanxiu was bored in a daze, sitting on the roof and counting the ducks in the next yard, when he saw Liu Xiao coming back, he laughed and said, "Master Liu, a surprise for you!" ”

"I don't think it's too pleasantly surprised, I just want to know what happened now? Changed to fish farming in the yamen? ”

Although Liu Xiao was a little fatter, he was quite flexible, and he also went up along the ladder that Xi Yuanxiu climbed when he went to the house, and sat on the roof with his butt, almost breaking the tiles on it!

Xi Yuanxiu actually gnawed on the radish that could only be eaten in the palace at this time, and threw the remaining half directly to Liu Xiao, saying: "At noon, Xu Lai came back with a basket of white radish, saying that he picked it up outside, and there was still it in the kitchen, so I wanted to eat it myself!" ”

Because the emperor loved to eat white radish, he used this white and large delicious vegetable as a royal dish in the palace, so it is difficult for ordinary people to eat it now.

Liu Xiao took a big bite of radish in his mouth, and before he could swallow it, he began to mumble: "I didn't ask you this, I mean where did the water in this yard come from?" ”

"Oh, you said this, I asked Xu Lai how high his kung fu is now, and he said that he is a little higher than the average person!"

"I'll ask you about water again, it's not his martial arts!"

"Yes, and then I casually said that the well at home was not deep enough, and then he stabbed a sword at the open space where we didn't grow vegetables before, and that's it!"

Liu Xiao bared his teeth and asked with some surprise: "How deep is this?" ”

"Judging by this amount of water, it is more than twenty zhang!"

"He's really..."Liu Xiao swallowed a mouthful of radish and continued: "It's a little taller than the average person!" So where did the others go? ”

"I'll tell him to find someone to pull some stones, or you idiot really want to make a fountain in this yamen!"

Just when the two of them grabbed the half radish on the roof and looked at the fountain, there was a young man in blue standing outside the door, Xi Yuanxiu took a closer look, it was the little guard beside Li Yuanhuan!

I didn't see him in Yangzhou Mansion, so I didn't think about going back here again.

Xi Yuanxiu was in a good mood at this time, and when he saw Bian Ying standing at the door, he didn't deliberately snub him, and greeted him loudly: "That little doll with a tight face that night, come up and sit for a while!" ”

Bian Ying didn't like his way of calling himself very much, but he also learned from Li Yuanhuan that this person was definitely a good person, because His Royal Highness Xianwang thought he was good.

So he did not shirk his name, nodded, tied his horse to the stone lion that was left in the doorway, and leaped to the top of the wall, and then a little more on the wall, and after a few steps, he came to the side of them.

Xi Yuanxiu looked at Bian Ying who was standing in front of him, and couldn't help but praise: "Your light skill is a bit of the shadow of Mr. Bian!" ”

"You still know my father!"

"There are several sides, but although your side family is not a big family in the capital, you won't go to work as an errand for others!"

"It's a long story, ...... year"

"Then it goes without saying!"

Bian Ying, who was about to speak, was interrupted by Xi Yuanxiu lightly, but Ben Ying was not annoyed, he knew that this person had a little disgust for that Chang'an City.

"Lord Xi can see at a glance the kung fu of my family, it seems that Lord Xi is not only the champion of literature back then, but also has quite attainments in martial arts, can you ask for a lesson or two!"

After Bian Ying said this, he made a gesture of arching his hand and motioned for two tricks.

"He can't climb such a high roof, it's harder than me!"

Liu Xiao looked at Xi Yuanxiu with contempt, finished eating the radish, swallowed it, and said to Bian Ying.

However, this martial idiot didn't seem to believe it, but felt that Xi Yuanxiu felt that he was too small and disdained to do anything with him.

So he decisively pulled out the knife and decided to force Xi Yuanxiu to compete with him.

Xi Yuanxiu, who was wiping the mud stains on his shoes, heard the sound of pulling a knife behind his back and felt that something was wrong.

Bian Ying made a Tibetan knife pose and said, "Lord Xi, please give me advice!" ”

However, as soon as he finished saying that, he felt that he should keep this action.

Because his intuition told him that he would die if he moved for half a minute, he looked around with his peripheral vision, but he didn't even see the person who was breathing, he knew that it was definitely not Xi Yuanxiu in front of him.

Bian Ying is quite calm on the surface now, but she has been shocked in her heart!

He has only seen three people who can make him dare not blink his eyes hard, one is Zhang Yong, the father-in-law of tea-making by the emperor's side, and the other is the Marquis of Anding, who now lives in the water town south of the Yangtze River and has great military achievements, and the one he saw when he went to the south with King Xian, the emperor's younger brother, Li Hui, the king of Pingnan.

Except for these three people, no one has put so much pressure on him, but it is also because he has been in the temple all the year round, and he has not walked in the rivers and lakes for a few years, and he has only seen these three masters.

But these three are also the top masters in the world!

Liu Xiao looked at Bian Ying, who was fixed there, and asked Xi Yuanxiu: "What's wrong with this kid?" ”

"Needless to say, the one who drilled the well is back!"
