Chapter 21

"Besides, although those Diao people are rumored to have killed those women, Zhang Chi's son has just turned fifteen years old, not to mention that he is mentally immature, how can he have the ability to kill several people in a row! This case is still to be verified! Zhang Jincheng said with a cold face.

The sound is not small.

Ning Changyuan snorted coldly, he sat with his arms folded, his eyes gathered on the rockery in the distance, and said with a disdainful expression: "Ability, there have been few murderous cases of teenage children in the past and now!" ”

Taishi Xinhe listened to Ning Yuan's words with great interest, his image is proportional to his character, his complexion is bronze, his figure is magnificent, and his thick eyebrows are rebellious and upward like a sword.

She glanced at Song Zizhen's expression out of the corner of her eyes, this person was playing with the cup meaningfully, seemingly paying attention to the wine in the cup, but he was waiting for the three of them to compete for a result.

Taishi Xinhe had to admire his leisure and patience, and obviously grasped the news that Zhang Qu was taken in by Dali Siqing, but he didn't do it directly.

But thinking about it, he also found the people of the three divisions in the name of inviting a few old friends to catch up, and since it was a reminiscence, he couldn't mention anything else.

She always forgets one thing, Song Zizhen's surface is laid with an image that is not involved in government politics.

"That's what Lord Ning said!" Tai Shi Xinhe stood up and said, her voice was clear and loud, she still couldn't change the habitual movements when she pretended to be a man for four years, and put her hands behind her back, "There are many cases of ten-year-old children committing adultery, and fifteen-year-old children are even worse!" People often forgive those who sin for a seemingly moral reason, because people often say, 'He's still a child'! I don't know how ridiculous this reason is. ”

The surrounding mixed open flowers will lose their taste after a long time, Tai Shi Xinhe got up, like a rose sitting on the ground, suddenly blooming, so that Ning Chang, who had never been moved by his posture, lost his mind for a while.

Song Zizhen was not surprised that she would say such a thing, and she had been in the state of a bystander, and her leisurely movements were like flowing water.

At this time, the most ugly faces were lowered, and a trace of embarrassment also appeared on Cui Yan's face

Tai Shi Xinhe said again: "The young son stole the fruit at the age of eight, and people said that he was still young, so he was forgiven, and the young man killed people at the age of fifteen, should we also say - he is still a child, let him be forgiven without punishment?" ”

After her words, Zhang Jiancheng had nothing to say about a person who had been in the officialdom for decades, and it was difficult to teach Xin He a direct lesson because of King Yun's face.

A smile suddenly appeared next to Ning Changchang's cold face, for some reason, this woman named He Xin was really different from those people he had seen. He had seen more beautiful women than her, but most of the women were the same, conservative and unassertive.

Today's one has broken the prejudice against women in his heart.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Cui Yu stood up and saluted King Yun and said: "Lord Zhang has no other meaning, what he wants to express is that the victims in Langzhou have the possibility of being killed by others, as the secretary of Dali Temple, it is natural for him to have more speculation and suspicions, and I hope that His Royal Highness will not be as serious as this girl thinks." Cui Qian bowed, "As for this case, the emperor has his own idea, and he has already issued an order to allow Qi Shenzhu, who has passed the palace examination, to investigate this matter, no matter what the result is, our three divisions will definitely not interfere." ”

Most of the words added by Cui Yu later were used to persuade Zhang Jincheng.

Song Zizhen said in a tone that had nothing to do with himself: "This king invited a few people to come over to talk about the past, is it to discuss these court matters?" He seemed to show displeasure, "Lord Zhang and Lord Cui also watched this king grow up when they were young, and this king is regarded as an elder, and Lord Ning also had a relationship before he was promoted to the imperial doctor, and what's more, this king's confidante actually followed to discuss such a court matter, which really ruined the atmosphere that should have been!" ”

Seeing Song Zizhen's displeasure, several adults quickly eased the stiffness on their faces and smiled, in fact, everyone knew in their hearts that Song Zizhen deliberately asked them to come over to find out the situation.

But people call it reminiscing, and others don't dare to say anything more.

Taishi Xinhe saw that Song Zizhen pretended to be annoyed, but continued: "The little woman also heard that the boy from Langzhou had escaped, if she came to the capital to join Lord Zhang, or Master Cui, she still hopes that the two of you will enforce the law impartially." ”

These words angered the anxious Zhang Jiancheng, who always felt that this girl knew some secrets that should not be known, and Cui Yan, who was at a loss, was a slightly calmer person, and said: "Although Cui is old, he is not confused. If Zhang Qu comes to the capital, we will naturally cooperate with Qi Shen to take Zhang Qu down, and we don't need the girl to remind us. ”

Taishi Xinhe smiled lightly and said, "Redeem the little girl and say more." Then he bowed and withdrew.

Being light and unstained is the only opinion that Ning Changchang has on this woman at the moment.

However, who is she after appreciation?

The small banquet itself has changed its taste, and Taishi Xinhe retired first, so Song Zizhen has nothing to look forward to. He chatted with a few other adults about the past family affairs, chatted about how he met Ning Changchang back then, and after taking out the past things to make fun of it, the whole banquet was completely over.

Zhang Jiancheng and Cui Que did not like to go all the way, so they walked in front when they left.

Ning Chang stayed in the Yunwang Mansion for a while, and Song Zizhen knew that he had a question to ask, so he said, "Say it." ”

"I heard that a few days ago, there was a male guest from the rivers and lakes in King Yun's mansion, today's Miss He won't be found by His Royal Highness King Yun to clarify her notoriety, right?" Ning Chang didn't beat around the bush and asked straight.

"Yes, I can also tell Lord Ning that the male guest is the one who brought out the top three in the palace exam." Song Zizhen said easily, "We met by chance in Jinxiu Building, he was originally from the Qi family to Chang'an City to play, but this king sold his favor and asked him to come to stay for a few nights." Maybe he wasn't used to living here, and he left not long after. ”

Ning Changchang basically believed in this explanation, at least the previous part was investigated by himself.

But I don't know why, the news given by Song Zizhen always makes him half-convinced, and he can't say that he completely believes it or doesn't believe it at all.

Ning Changyuan's expression was rigid, and he said: "I heard that Xue Xiang, the talented woman in the court capital, has always been by King Yun's side, it seems that the rumors are not credible." ”

Song Zizhen smiled without explaining, passed him and ordered some maids to come over and clean up the venue, and added as he left: "It's a good thing for Lord Ning to have a curiosity to investigate the case, but you don't need to know too much about the life of this king." ”

……

Ning Chang's eyes were like mist, and he walked away after a slight pause in his footsteps.

It's just that the courtyard is still some distance from the main gate, and when he walked along the way, he had a new insight into the Yunwang Mansion, and sure enough, the courtyards in the other mansions were built more beautiful than his mansions, and there were pavilions and pavilions.

In the pavilion not far away, Tai Shi Xinhe stood waiting for someone to come.

Ning Yuan glanced at her, thinking that Taishi Xinhe just happened to be standing here enjoying the scenery, so he didn't even bother to say hello and prepare to pass by.

"Lord Ning, you are rude." Tai Shi Xinhe saw that he had already walked a few steps away, so he spoke up.

"Miss He's words are wrong, Ning's position is currently above you." Song Zizhen was always serious when he spoke, and he didn't have the slightest joking tone, even if he stood still, he didn't bother to turn around.

However, Tai Shi Xinhe had already guessed that face owed him eight hundred taels of gold.

"I have my back to you, and you should at least call me before I can salute you."

"I didn't expect such a coincidence to meet Miss He enjoying the scenery here." Ning long-term cooperation of tightness, coldly added.

Taishi Xinhe raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said, "How can it be interesting to talk to Lord Ning while enjoying the scenery, but the little woman is waiting for Lord Ning here." ”

He turned around, stared at Taishi Xinhe with a pair of eyes, and looked at it for a while, the woman's eyes were shallow, except for a charming face, there was nothing special, but for some reason, in Ning Changyuan's eyes, her face was a cunning and treacherous look.

The girl laughed, and Ning's speech was neither vivid nor interesting. In terms of talking interestingly, His Royal Highness the Cloud King, the girl should go to him. "Ning Chang is angry.

Taishi Xinhe's height was a little shorter next to this eight-foot-long man, so she saved herself from joking anymore and said, "I just heard that several adults have different opinions, I wonder if Lord Ning also suspects that there is something wrong with Lord Zhang?" ”

Ning Changchang's face turned pale.

Apparently there are opinions and even more doubts about the topic raised by Taishi Xinhe.

"Why do you care so much about the Langzhou case?" Ning Chang turned back to the route, staring at Taishi Xinhe with a pair of sharp eyes full of murderous insight, "Why do you want to say the word 'also', why do you know so much about court politics as a woman, who are you?" ”

A series of problems suddenly overwhelming.

Ning Chang's eyes were like thousands of miles of tidal waves sweeping in, wanting to drown the fragile life on the river beach.

"Since adults are so curious, I tell you how boring it is, you can check it yourself." Tai Shi Xinhe raised his eyes and chuckled, "But adults can't always be prejudiced against women, and women can't be as curious about the world as you are?" Can't you care about court affairs? ”

As soon as he said this, Ning Changchang actually reflected on it, although he said coldly on his mouth: "Even if you are the King of Yun behind you, Ning still dares to investigate." But I have to admit in my heart that I am indeed a little oversensitive.

Just because she was different from other women, he decided that this person had bad intentions and was indeed a little hasty.

"Don't hide it from adults, the little girl is a nameless country girl, and her life is simple and stable, but in the past two years, external and internal troubles have more or less affected us villagers. In order to survive, the little woman had to come out to find a backer, but you also know that although His Royal Highness King Yun is good, he is a suave son after all, I am afraid that I will be abandoned when the time comes. If you can stand on your own, it will be different. Taishi Xinhe talked eloquently, and knew it with emotion and reason.

Who is Ke Ning Changchang, the famous iron-masked man in Chang'an, this kind of touching words is something that only Taishi Xinhe can say.
