"Huh." Princess Changle slammed the tea cup in her hand on the table, with a crisp sound, and the excited people shuddered: "This princess just watched that this case had dragged on for too long, so she came to take a look for the emperor." As for the questioning of the case, I still have to work hard. ”

She hooked the corners of her lips, and looked at Li Congyao with a faint look: "I heard that Duan Wang Ye is the chief judge of this case, this princess wants to hear what you think." ”

Princess Changle raised the tail note very high, and her voice seemed to be full of expectation, but her eyes were clearly full of calculations. However, the man behind the right case still hung his head slightly and looked at the file in his hand. For a long time, turn a page.

The smile on Princess Changle's cheeks trembled, and her eyebrows were uncontrollably raised. She retracted her fingers and grabbed the teacup on the table in her hand. When he was about to fall to the ground, he heard a faint sigh from a noble man like a kaolin flower.

The next moment, Li Congyao raised his eyes, and a pair of narrow phoenix eyes on his pale face were clear and cold, but they were as beautiful as a jade tree: "This king is just a bystander. Judging from the file, the person who is most familiar with this case is Jun Qinglan. Let's talk about it by Jun Qinglan. ”

Father Jun always lowered his head, and when he suddenly heard this name, his body couldn't help but tremble, and he looked towards a quiet corner under the court. All eyes in the court converged on that place.

Jun Qinglan is there, not far from Daddy Jun. Quiet, silent.

The wind rolled up the corners of her clothes slightly, but she flattened them with her hands. Only waist-length green silk fluttered in the wind, as if forming a pale black halo around the body, with a kind of loneliness that could not be poured in, as if no one could insert it into it, let alone touch the secret of the person's heart.

"Jun Qinglan?" Princess Changle sighed lightly, with a little disdain in her eyebrows: "You really have some ability." But in just a few days, can you actually ask Duanwang to maintain it so far? This princess has never heard that at the foot of this Tianzi in Yanjing City, there can be an outsider who moves into Duanwang's Mansion to live. This princess really underestimated you. ”

How unbearable is it that things have been rumored?

Jun Qinglan lowered her eyes slightly: "The humble position is just a lowly little person. ”

Li Congyao raised his eyebrows, is this an explanation? Because of her low status, she can't help herself? Is he accusing her of forcible hostage?

It's kind of interesting.

Princess Changle snorted lightly: "You must not forget the agreement with this princess." ”

She slowly poked out a finger and said, "Today is June 25." ”

In a month's time, if Jun's father's case is not cleared up, Jun Qinglan will be willing to become Princess Changle's concubine. June 25 was 10 days before the end of the month.

"I have never forgotten my humble duty." Jun Qinglan said: "I have been working hard. ”

Princess Changle glanced at her and slowly opened her eyes: "King Duan, the newcomer certificate in Cui Tai's case is very important. It is you who guarantee that this man will come in, and if anything fails, you will have to bear it with all your might. ”

Li Congyao nodded: "Yes." ”

Jun Qinglan half-narrowed her eyes, Li Congyao actually defended her again. Why?

"Go ahead." Li Congyao only glanced at her lightly, and then buried his head in the file again.

Jun Qinglan took a breath and raised her head for the first time since entering the lobby. Qing Leng looked straight at the scholar: "Please repeat your name and the purpose of coming to Dali Temple." Be sure to be detailed, and don't miss a single detail. ”

The scholar tilted his head, but his lips were tightly pursed, and there was no fear in his eyes, but there was no intention to speak.

"Please trust me." Jun Qinglan looked at him, her eyes were cold but profound: "I am, Jinyi Wei is Jun Qinglan." ”

The woman's body is slender and tall, and she looks weak and thin. Honey-colored face tensed, not smiling. The solemn complexion is easy to make people ignore her originally soft facial features, and in such a dark place as Dali Temple, she stands there alone. The whole body seems to be infected with indescribable loneliness and indifference.

However, for some reason, such a person looks at people...... Inexplicable peace of mind.

"I ......." The scholar looked into her eyes and opened his mouth: "Can I believe you?" ”

Jun Qinglan lightly opened her lips and slowly spit out one word: "Yes." ”

"Xiaosheng's name is Ning Chu Zilan, and he is a tribute student who took the examination in Lingnan County. Due to the wind and cold caused by the long journey, and the inability to adapt to the water and soil of Yanjing, he fell ill and missed the examination date. In despair, he made a living by selling calligraphy and paintings on the streets, hoping to earn enough money to return to Lingnan as soon as possible. ”

Ning Chu's voice paused, as if he remembered the down-and-out past, and a little melancholy was added to his eyebrows.

I didn't do much, but I closed my eyes hard. When he opened it again, his eyes were already full of vitality. In a trance, it makes people feel as bright as a star, and there is a trace of warmth that makes people feel incomprehensible.

"Xiaosheng is not very good at business, but Xiaosheng never regrets the experience he had. It is precisely because of this past that Xiaosheng found the most important person in this life. ”

He hooked the corners of his lips, and even his voice added a little tenderness: "We swore that we would be loyal to each other in this life, and we would be together even if we went through hardships and dangers." On that day, we had raised enough money and were ready to return to Lingnan. Unfortunately, something happened on the way that delayed me, and I didn't leave the city until almost curfew. Outside Yanjing City, there is no one within a radius of several miles. My lady is a delicate and frail daughter, who can't stand the bitter cold of eating and sleeping in the open. So, Xiao Sheng continued to hurry with her, and finally came to Yizhuang. Thanks to Daddy Jun's kindness, he took us in and waited until we were repaired before we went back on the road. That day is very important to Xiaosheng and Niangzi, so Xiaosheng remembers clearly, when we met Daddy Jun was on the tenth day of June. ”

"Do you remember what time you arrived at Yizhuang?"

"Hey." Ning Chu said firmly: "When Father Jun let us enter the door, he was taking incense candles to incense the tablets in Yizhuang. That's what he does, he says, every day. ”

Jun Qinglan nodded: "Every day, the yin qi between heaven and earth is the strongest, and it is also the time when yin and yang meet. Every day, my father would incense the souls of the dead when he was a child. The gate of Yanjing City is closed at the end of each day. It takes about half an hour to arrive at Yizhuang from Nandemen, so you should have arrived at Yizhuang at the beginning of the year, why did you delay it until the time of the fast child? In terms of timing, there seems to be some discrepancies. ”

Ning Chu's eyes flashed slightly: "No." Xiaosheng's lady is a delicate daughter, and she is almost exhausted from running at night. Plus...... There was something wrong before leaving the city, so I walked a little slower. ”

Jun Qinglan's eyes stared at Ning Chu for a moment. She was absolutely not mistaken, when she mentioned his mother-in-law, Ning Chu's eyes were clearly a little apprehensive and gloomy. There was a secret hidden there, and he didn't tell the truth!

"When you arrived at Yizhuang, did you see anyone beside you?"

"Except for Daddy Jun, no."

"If you want to be careful, don't be in a hurry to answer."

"Xiaosheng can't be mistaken. It was late that day, and we didn't see half a figure on our trip from Yanjing, let alone in a place like Yizhuang? There's no hiding people there. Xiao Sheng can conclude that during our stay in Yizhuang, there will be no more people around. ”

"Yes." Jun Qinglan groaned slightly. So, where was Choi Tae at that time?

"You entered Yizhuang when you were in Hai, and you didn't leave until you were ugly. There are about two hours in between, what are you doing during those two hours? ”

"Daddy Jun prepared a meal for us, and it took some time to eat. In addition, my wife needs to rest after a long journey, so she has been delayed for a long time. ”

"Since you need to rest, why don't you just stay overnight in Yizhuang? You also said just now that your lady is a young lady, and she is not suitable for the life of eating and sleeping in the open. Why do you still insist on rushing in the middle of the night? ”

"This ......." Ning Chu's voice paused before he said, "I've rested enough, Xiaosheng and Niangzi don't like to disturb others, let alone stay overnight in their house." So...... So he left overnight. ”

Jun Qinglan half-squinted, and never spoke for a long time. The bright and cold eyes stared at Ning Chu for a moment. Ning Chu always maintained a posture of hanging his head slightly. He originally had a pair of sword eyebrows and starry eyes, such a posture and angle made people unable to see the look in his eyes, and he didn't seem so spiritual.

"Where are you and your wife now? Why did you never return to Lingnan after all these days? ”

"When we went to Tongxian, my wife had a chronic illness, so Xiaosheng temporarily rented a house to settle down. Thinking of waiting until the lady recovered from her illness before going on the road, she never thought that she heard the news that Daddy Jun was in prison, so she hurried to testify for him and clear his name. ”

Jun Qinglan pursed her lips and didn't make a sound, and only after a long time did she look at Daddy Jun: "Is everything he said true?" ”

"Yes." Daddy Jun lowered his head and refused to make eye contact with her, he didn't want her to see the anxiety and uneasiness in his eyes.

"Why didn't you ever mention to me that you had seen them on the 10th day of June?"

"I thought ......." Daddy Jun said: "It's just a small thing, and it's not enough to worry about. Moreover, Cui Gongzi was embarrassed at the time and didn't want to meet others. So I hid him in your room. ”

"I ...... Approximately understood. Jun Qinglan took a breath and raised her head: "You can retreat." ”

"What?"

Everyone was taken aback and looked sideways at Jun Qinglan. Even Li Congyao raised his head in horror, and his eyes were indifferent and dustless, staring at Jun Qinglan's cheeks, for a moment.

"You've got the case clear?" Princess Changle glared, and her voice was slightly sharp: "Who is it?" Who killed Choi Tae? Say it quickly! ”

Jun Qinglan glanced at Princess Changle, her voice was suddenly so sharp, a little strange.

Princess Changle made eye contact with her, her body suddenly trembled, and her eyes seemed to be a little tired. He put one hand on his forehead and sat down slowly: "The emperor suddenly called this princess to do this to supervise the imperial history, and the case can be closed as soon as possible." ”

This is a reasonable explanation.

Jun Qinglan half-lowered her eyes and said, "There are some concepts in my heart, but ...... Some details still need to be worked out. Please Siqing-sama temporarily dismiss the irrelevant personnel. ”
