Chapter 20 Detection

Although Taishi Xinhe was angry with Song Zizhen, the few people he wanted to meet today were very critical to the case that Qi Shen was handling in Langzhou.

When she appeared in the courtyard, the others were already sitting and chatting.

"The little woman, He Xin, has seen His Royal Highness the Cloud King and several adults." Taishi Xinhe didn't dare to look at Song Zizhen's expression, so he saluted and walked straight to his seat.

Ning Changchang frowned, as if he was not very satisfied with the appearance of the woman, and got up and said: "Your Royal Highness King Yun, since you have only invited people from our three divisions, I believe that it is not just as simple as recounting the past, I don't know this girl...... Isn't it convenient to listen to us men talk about such boring things? ”

Ning Changyuan is the youngest of the adults in the three divisions, and he has a baby face, even if he is thirty-three years old, he doesn't look older than Song Zizhen.

He had just been promoted to the position of Imperial Doctor last year, and when he spoke, his voice was loud, and his sword eyebrows and sharp eyes made him look full of righteousness.

"Dare to ask this Lord Ning?" Xin He asked unhurriedly.

Ning Changyuan turned to look at her: "Exactly." ”

The low table was not only full of good wine and food, but also freshly ripe grapes, Taishi Xinhe took an empty plate and peeled a small bunch of grapes on the plate, and said: "Lord Ning only spent five years to sit on the post of imperial historian, which is all due to your wisdom in the Jiangzhou Wushi case, which is to be discovered by the imperial court and won the trust of the emperor." The little woman has always admired you, and now that she can see the deity, it is really extraordinary. ”

If she really admires it, she doesn't even raise her head when she says a word to the person she admires, thinking that Ning Changyuan, who she admires, is actually not as good as the grapes in her hands?

What a joke.

Song Zizhen pursed his lips and smiled lightly on the side, and the iron-faced Lord Ning encountered the bold Taishi Xinhe for a long time, and it was inevitable that there would be a good show.

"You're- know a lot!" Ning Changyuan's tone became a little stiffer, and others could hear some subtle changes.

Zhang Jincheng sat upright, his appearance was peaceful, and he politely played a round: "Lord Ning, since His Royal Highness King Yun didn't say anything, this woman must have her usefulness, so we don't have to say much." ”

The slightly tense atmosphere in the field was slightly suppressed by Zhang Jincheng's words, and the fragrance of flowers overflowing around was freely emitted under the shallow cool breeze, which made people always feel better.

Song Zizhen put away the smile on his face on the main seat, and said, "Don't be nervous, this king invites you to come to chat casually, don't hurt the peace." ”

Taishi Xinhe couldn't help but feel nervous when she heard Song Zizhen's voice, she kept her head down and ate the food on her table, trying to forget that there was still such a person as Song Zizhen in the field.

After peeling all the grapes on a plate, she took a spoon and put them in her mouth one by one, pretending that nothing had happened.

"I heard that there was a big case in Langzhou recently, and the county ordered Zhang Chi to have a 15-year-old son who robbed a woman, and even killed several people." Song Zizhen didn't stare at anyone when he said this, as if he was really just chatting.

It's just that Zhang Jiancheng's reaction was quite obvious, and when Song Zizhen just mentioned this, the peace that Zhang Jiancheng had suppressed before disappeared immediately, and the dishes sent to his mouth were immediately put down.

He bowed down and walked in front of Song Zizhen, and said with a pale face: "Your Highness, although Zhang Chi is my nephew, but he is far away in Langzhou, I can't keep an eye on him all the time, this matter ......" He paused for a moment, "This matter really has nothing to do with the old minister, and please ask His Royal Highness King Yun to know it." ”

Tai Shi Xinhe secretly laughed sarcastically, it didn't matter originally, but now he dares to harbor criminals like Zhang Qu, it's a different matter.

She seemed to be obsessively enjoying the delicious taste of the grapes, and always looked at the flowers and plants around her, and whispered to tease when she heard some strange bird chirping nearby, as if she had really only come to eat and enjoy.

Although Ning Changchang also paid attention to what Zhang Jiancheng said, he also did not forget to stare at Taishi Xinhe, not the ladies in Chang'an City, and it was rare to hear of such a person as He Xin on the rivers and lakes, who could become a guest in the Yunwang Mansion, what is her origin?

Song Zizhen looked at Zhang Jiancheng's nervous appearance, and said comfortingly: "What are you talking about, Lord Zhang, you are the founding father, an impartial deacon, of course this king knows." ”

Zhang Jiancheng pinched a cold sweat and got up to thank His Royal Highness King Yun, Song Zizhen said politely, who knows what he has in mind? A hint of gloom flashed in Zhang Jincheng's eyes, but the people who had seen a lot of people in the big scene adjusted naturally and quickly, and they couldn't see anything wrong in an instant.

Taishi Xinhe caught a glimpse of Zhang Jiancheng diagonally opposite, who was really a bit cunning and cunning.

and Ning Changchang on the other side, nothing on the table moved, except for a little tea when King Yun was polite.

When everyone drank politely, he excused himself on the grounds that he was not in good health and could not drink.

Cui Yan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, said very little, and almost didn't say anything from beginning to end, but Tai Shi Xinhe could feel the strange eyes staring at him from time to time, and most of them were also suspicious of her identity.

"The little woman heard that Master Cui is from Jiangnan, but I don't know where the adult is from Jiangnan?" Tai Shi Xinhe turned his head to the side and asked.

"It's just a remote place in the south of the Yangtze River, don't mention it." Cui Que saw her and asked this question, "What, Miss He is also from Jiangnan?" ”

Tai Shi Xinhe asked rhetorically: "Do you listen to my accent?" She smiled and added, "I heard that Jiangnan is a good place, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the little woman admires it so much that she really wants to go and see it." ”

Song Zizhen inadvertently swept over Taishi Xinhe, a smile flashed on her face, her accent was a serious Chang'an accent, so asking, limiting her identity to Chang'an City, even if there are curious people who want to check, they can start with Chang'an City first and delay some time.

She deliberately revealed some false news as a cover-up, and her mind was very tight.

The five people chatted, and two of them were stuffy and didn't talk much, except for some questions that they would only comment on when it was their turn to answer, Taishi Xinhe pondered for a while Ning Changchang, this person is proud of himself, it is not surprising, and Lord Cui on the side will always subconsciously look at Zhang Jiancheng when he speaks, because he is afraid that if he talks too much, there will be too many loopholes.

"Speaking of the Langzhou case, it spread to Chang'an City so quickly, and it is said that it has caused serious public anger." Taishi Xinhe intentionally or unintentionally brought up this topic again, "Your Excellency, why didn't the emperor send Lord Zhang of Dali Temple to go, if you were to go, the anger of the people outside should have been resolved long ago." I don't know what the emperor thinks, is it possible that he is worried that Lord Zhang, who has always been upright, will show favoritism! ”

What he said made Zhang Jincheng feel uncomfortable.

Obviously, his face had changed, and he put down his chopsticks heavily, and said, "Even if the girl is taking advantage of the majesty of His Royal Highness King Yun, she can't talk nonsense. Zhang Chi and I are uncles and nephews, and I can be impartial, but the emperor is sympathetic and doesn't want to embarrass being a courtier. If the girl's statement reaches the emperor, I am afraid that you will not be able to bear the charge of framing the emperor! ”

Is it to frame the emperor, Lord Zhang himself has no number.

The reason why Taishi Xinhe dared to say this, of course, was that he expected Zhang Jiancheng to do nothing with her, even if he was in a high position, if the emperor didn't want to continue to use him, he would always have a mistake and be caught by the emperor, and then use the excuse to play, what is the possibility of degrading Yuanjiang?
