When Xiao Jingxian and the little fat man retired one after another, the emperor looked at the Beiyan Guoshu in his hand that was returned by Xiao Jingxian, and couldn't help but sigh softly, then rubbed his temples, and suddenly couldn't help but feel a little funny.

Li Yiming, Yue Qianqiu, Zhen Rong...... Maybe add Xiao Qingqing's daughter Xiao Jingjing, who claimed that she didn't know where to pick it up, these four little guys who are similar in age are all confused.

Among them, Li Yiming and Xiao Jingjing can be regarded as being well protected before, and Yue Qianqiu, who has a big grin and heartless grandfather, is actually the most pitiful Zhen Rong, who has always been trapped in his own life.

But now Zhen Rong has become a fragrant gluttony in Beiyan, Xiao Changjun, the king of Lanling County, who is the incarnation of Yue Xiaosi, wants to keep people as his righteous son, and the Emperor of Beiyan is even more whimsical, and he insists that he is the son of Xiao Jingxian, the king of Jin, and wants Zhen Rong to inherit the throne of the king of Jin. I really don't know what kind of expression Yue Xiaosi has at this time, and how he didn't try to send the letter back in advance.

Is it because it's too late to make an emergency, or is someone snooping on a flaw? With that kid's cunning, the latter shouldn't be possible. You must know that before Yue Xiaosi took the initiative to tell them, no one would have thought that Da Wu would have such a wise and brave person.

There were thousands of thoughts in his heart, and it was not until Chen Wuliang's voice came from outside that the emperor came back to his senses: "What's the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, the eldest princess of Dongyang came to report the good news, saying that the eldest princess had added another grandson. The eldest princess went out last night, but she didn't catch up, but Yan Xu just came back at this time, just in time to be her father. ”

Faced with such a news, the emperor frowned, and said with a smile: "At the beginning, his mother was worried every day that he would not be able to marry a daughter-in-law if he was messing around, but what was the result?" Accepted a good apprentice, and the daughter-in-law immediately had it, and within a few years of marriage, the sons were one after another, and now he is the father of three sons, and the people have become a lot more stable, his mother should always rest assured, right? ”

Remembering that the eldest princess of Dongyang had roughly explained Yan Xu's whereabouts and purpose before, although the emperor wanted to know the specific situation very much, but in the end he still did not act so anxious, and after a little silence, he ordered: "Go to the inner library to pick a few gold, silver and jade suitable for children, and then choose a few horses, add some other things, and send them to the eldest princess's mansion, not to say that it is a reward, just say that it is a congratulatory gift from me." ”

Chen Wuliang, who was outside the door, heard that the emperor was just sending something, but he didn't mention that he would immediately summon Yan Xu, and he didn't know if the emperor was really in a hurry or not, he hesitated for a moment, and finally asked: "If the mother and son are safe and there is no major incident, can the emperor summon Yan Xu?" ”

"There is no need to specifically order, Ah Xu is also a measured person now, and when he thinks of it, he will naturally enter the palace to ask for a meeting."

When the emperor said so, Chen Wuliang naturally knew what to do. Leaving the Vertical Arch Temple, he immediately went to the Inner Library.

He very carefully selected a pair of longevity locks with rich and evergreen patterns, a pair of small gold bracelets engraved with five blessings, and a mutton fat jade plate, which was given to the newborn child. Ten palace silks, a pair of golden hairpins, and a pair of double-strand swords, this is for Su Shiqi. As for the eldest princess of Dongyang and Yan Xu, although the emperor's reward was not calculated, he did not plan to save for the emperor this time, so he added another big hat, a string of pearls, and a set of four treasures of the study......

He even brought Yue Qianqiu a bow, a bag of arrows, and a pair of daggers by the way. As for the problem that Yue Qianqiu is not good at archery, he directly ignored it. Anyway, the emperor said that it was a gift, not a reward, and it was feasible to transfer it to other people.

The four treasures of the golden and jade toys and the bow and arrow dagger do not occupy much space, but it is impossible to carry ten palace silks on their shoulders, so when Chen Wuliang left the palace, he took two small yellow doors and a car. He was a frequent visitor, and as soon as he arrived at the door, someone pulled his leg and reported it, and at the same time opened the middle door.

When he dismounted at the second gate wearing a black hooded cloak, he saw Yan Xu and Yue Qianqiu greet him.

After greeting each other, Yan Xu preemptively explained: "My mother was a little unwell, so she didn't come out." ”

Chen Wuliang knew how important the existence of the eldest princess of Dongyang was to the emperor, and at the same time he was startled, he hurriedly asked, "The eldest princess is uncomfortable?" What are the symptoms, and does it matter? Have you ever sent someone to the Imperial Doctor's Office to ask for a royal doctor? ”

I had just heard the eldest princess of Dongyang confide in her heartfelt words, but now Yan Xu and Yue Qianqiu's mood had not calmed down, and seeing Chen Wuliang's eager appearance again, they realized more and more the deep meaning of what the eldest princess of Dongyang had just said.

Although the master and apprentice had always known that the eldest princess of Dongyang was very powerful, they were still greatly frightened when they learned that the person was actually above the Wude Division and the Chief Arrest Division of the Criminal Department, and the emperor had only quietly established the Xuanlong Division in the past ten years. Especially Yan Xu, when he found that his mother had a full ability to arrest himself who ran away from home back then, not to mention his guilt.

In the end, his mother still let herself go around Jinling for so many years, and she had been holding on to it before he lost it......

As for the eldest princess of Dongyang, she had already seen Queen Beiyan, and she had traveled to Jinling with others back then, like a close friend in the boudoir, and she could often receive letters sent in the name of her close friend in the past ten years, and only learned the inside story last year, so this year she followed the newly received letter and asked Yan Xu to take Liu Fangyuan and Dai Zhanning all the way to the past, which is another matter.

Therefore, I just found out that the eldest princess of Dongyang seemed to be a little tired and excessive for days, even if there was a message from outside that it was sent from the palace, Yan Xu still forcibly placed her in the main room of his Yanshui Pavilion to rest.

"My mother is just a little tired, plus I have suffered a little wind, so it's good to rest for two days, it's not a big deal. But there is Lao Chen's father-in-law, you will run in person......" Yan Xu was about to be polite again, but suddenly felt Yue Qianqiu's elbow bump over quietly, and immediately came back to his senses, and hurriedly smiled, "By the way, listen to Qianqiu, Emperor Beiyan actually said that Zhen Rong is the son of King Jin?" ”

Speaking of this, Chen Wuliang looked at Yue Qianqiu, and seeing that his face was full of disapproval, he sighed and said: "The emperor summoned the king of Jin, and the king of Jin insisted that this was too funny, and did not admit it, His Royal Highness also spoke for the king of Jin, and the result was naturally that the emperor was gentle and appeased, and even if Beiyan really had any traps, it was in vain." It's just ......"

Yue Qianqiu saw Chen Wuliang pause, and was about to ask, but suddenly remembered that it was rude to hang such a head and face in the palace at the door to speak, so he hurriedly coughed heavily and said: "Look at the memory of Master and me, you are kind enough to send something, we are talking to you at the door in this cold day, please come in!" ”

Yan Xu reacted very quickly, and immediately smiled dryly: "That's right, that's right, I'm really dizzy, I'm really sorry." Father-in-law Chen, please ......"

Chen Wuliang naturally didn't care about this, and the master and apprentice had already apologized embarrassedly, so he naturally smiled and said that it was okay. When he followed the two of them to the princess's mansion to receive the frequent guests, Shui Yuntian, who came from the inner treasury of the palace, divided the gifts for everyone, and ordered the little yellow door who came with him to put the palace silk and the like into the palace to the people of the princess's mansion, and only brought in the gold and jade toys and weapons.

Seeing Yan Xu's thousand thanks, Yue Qianqiu also opened his mouth and said that he wanted Yan Xu to enter the palace in person to thank him, where did he not understand that this was an excuse for being an apprentice to be a master's manufacture to enter the palace, so as not to be suspected by outsiders, he immediately understood that the emperor had just sent things with great fanfare but there was another reason, and he had to explain with a smile the details of the emperor's summoning of Xiao Jingxian.

There is no doubt that he was guarding the door of the Vertical Arch Hall before, and he was the only one who heard everything except for the emperor, Xiao Jingxian and Li Yiming who were there at that time. And at this moment, he omitted the emperor's plan to even once stuff Cheng Qianqian to Xiao Jingxian, and instead deliberately exaggerated the proposal of King Li Yiming to send Cheng Qianqian to certain sects to learn martial arts.

Yan Xu didn't care about the little fat man's emotional problems, but he was a little emotional that the little fat man who was once tyrannical and impulsive was now a bit of a prince, at least he didn't kill an innocent girl because of his weak will.

And Yue Qianqiu was not surprised that Xiao Jingxian refused to admit it, but was relieved, after all, he didn't think that Zhen Rong would be Xiao Jingxian's son, so he was afraid that Xiao Jingxian would lose his mind and admit it. He had personally experienced the battle of Xuanwu Ze, and he suddenly asked: "Gonggong Chen, I haven't had time to inquire, I don't know what is happening to the Cheng clan in Yangzhou?" ”

At the mention of this, the smile on Chen Wuliang's face gradually faded. He seemed to be considering whether to speak, or how to speak, but under Yue Qianqiu's direct gaze, he finally said truthfully: "There is no Yangzhou Cheng anymore." On the night after the Cheng girl encountered the unsuccessful robbery on the edge of Xuanwuze, a fire burned the Cheng family to the ground, and it is said that no one escaped. It's a pity that the Cheng family has a lot of books, and they have all been burned. ”

lamenting the destruction of the book collection, not lamenting the death of the family, it is not his original words, but the attitude of the emperor at that time. It can be seen how angry the emperor is that someone is calculating the life events of King Li Yiming. Even if Ye Guanghan and Zhao Qingya can know that it is not a big secret, but they have been watching the development of the situation without saying anything, and the emperor has been restrained for too long.

As soon as Chen Wuliang's words came out, Yue Qianqiu, who was already mentally prepared, couldn't help but gasp, and asked with a numb scalp: "No one escaped?" Not even a subordinate? Isn't there a process home to do an autopsy? Is there any other trauma before the person is burned or choked to death, this should be easy to find, right? ”

"Jiugongzi, what you said is right, this unprecedented big case, whether it is the Yangzhou Mansion or the Jiangdu County Government, all of them have dispatched the most capable people to check, it is said that all the corpses have no sharp weapon wounds, and no poison has been found in the bodies of those who were choked to death by smoke, but it is said that the master of the family closed the door to celebrate a happy event with wine, and even the family set up seven or eight tables."

Speaking of this, Chen Wuliang said in an accentuated tone: "Moreover, on that day, Master Cheng bought out all the cellared old wine of the two old shops, because it was only a few days after his daughter went to Beijing to visit relatives, everyone said that his daughter was probably climbing the high branch, so he was crazy with joy." If you look at it this way, I'm afraid that that night, the Cheng family will all get drunk, and then someone will set a fire and burn the Cheng family and their belongings clean. ”

Yue Qianqiu is not a person who is so fraternistic as a hypocrisy, and he is not familiar with Cheng Qianqian, so naturally he doesn't really care about the life or death of the Cheng family, and he didn't expect that a certain scumbag father would be wiped out before. However, this kind of cruel behavior that was all over the house aroused his strong disgust.

Especially thinking that when he was in Xuanwuze, Yue Ying and Du Bailou were there, even if Yue Ying had been in Jinling these days and had not left, Du Bailou had never been seen, with the sensitivity of this one, how could he not have thought that the Cheng family might have a problem?

Yan Xu didn't care about the Cheng family at all, but when he heard this heinous tragedy, he couldn't help but shoot the case and said, "Didn't anyone escape?" Even if there is no living mouth, could it be that there are no clues in this case? ”

"In addition to Miss Cheng, the Cheng family's men, women, and children plus their subordinates, a total of eighty-two, the result just reported is that the Cheng family moved out of the corpse also has eighty-two, and now it is being compared with men and women according to age, but I'm afraid there is really no life. As for clues...... Chen Wuliang paused for a moment, sighed and said, "I think it's better for you to ask the eldest princess, this case is the eldest princess personally presiding over the investigation." ”

It turns out that the eldest princess of Dongyang has known about this for a long time? That's good, she didn't ask just now, she just didn't say it! In this way, the eldest princess of Dongyang was not there last night, but I am afraid it was also because of this incident?

Yue Qianqiu and Yan Xu exchanged a look, and before Yue Qianqiu could speak, Yan Xu suddenly said loudly: "Gonggong Chen, I'll go into the palace with you." ”

Yan Xu thought that he should have reported everything to his mother, and he should also go to the palace to tell the emperor's uncle about those discoveries, after all, Liu Fangyuan and Dai Zhanning are still missing, so they made a decision quickly at this time.

And Yue Qianqiu also stood up and said, "Master, you go, I'll go home in a while." You have returned safely, the master is very happy, and the big and small pairs should also come back to see their father and younger brother. ”

Chen Wuliang was going to see the eldest princess of Dongyang in person, but Yan Xu repeatedly said that it was no big deal, and he wanted to follow him into the palace, so he finally followed Yan Xu's wishes. And Yue Qianqiu sent them to the second gate, and then summoned a girl at the door, and instructed her to tell the eldest princess of Dongyang and Mrs. Su Shiqi inside to go home by herself, and immediately hurriedly went to the stable to take out Snow White and left.

When the eldest princess of Dongyang got the news that the master and apprentice had all run away, she just pondered for a moment, and immediately said to Sang Zi, who came to report: "Quick, send someone to inform Chen Wuliang, let him leave Ah Xu alone, go and stop Qianqiu, that kid is definitely going to see Xiao Qingqing!" If anything happens...... I'd rather hurt Xiao Qingqing than let Qianqiu lose a single hair! ”

Although she also thinks that many of the carrier pigeons released by her son have been intercepted and killed, and it is difficult to return, Liu Fangyuan and Dai Zhanning are still missing, which is likely to be related to Xiao Qingqing, and the fire of the Cheng family in Yangzhou is also likely to be inseparable from this Red Moon Palace master, but when people have already thrown themselves into the net in the palm of their hands, she does not intend to stimulate Xiao Qingqing to go crazy.

But in contrast, the more Qianqiu is more important, and Xiao Qingqing is crazy than Yan Xu or the old lady is crazy!

And after Sang Zi was stunned and immediately rushed forward to interrogate, even if she had not slept all night before, she was very tired from spirit to body at this time, the eldest princess of Dongyang still supported herself and sat up, and then got out of bed with the railing.

She has never had a very strong desire for power, and she has never thought of being a woman who controls the world, but that woman, and Xiao Qingqing, who has been standing behind that woman like a shadow, she is unwilling to lose to them!
