"The prince has arrived!"

When the shouting sounded, the originally quiet courtyard suddenly became chaotic, and a group of maids and old mothers knelt down to greet them, and reported the news, so that they were in a panic.

"Lord Wan'an!"

"Knock on the prince!"

……

Hongqing didn't pay attention to the subordinates who knelt down at the gate of the courtyard to greet them, and walked inward with a gloomy face, and just arrived at the front yard hall, he saw Qinglian leading a group of subordinates to hurry forward, and they greeted each other one after another.

In the crowd, a young man in a brown robe lowered his head almost to his chest, cowering and not daring to raise his head, but Hongqing recognized this person at a glance, who else could there be besides the words.

"Excuse me!"

Hongqing's mood was not very good, and when he saw that Neyan came from his own house, he was even more angry, but he didn't have a seizure on the spot, he just whispered in a cold voice, and then, regardless of how everyone thanked him, he raised his feet and walked to the backyard.

"Sister, sister, you have to help your brother, or ......"

Seeing that Hongqing's voice was wrong, Qinglian's face immediately turned white, and he couldn't care about much, so he hurriedly got up, and was about to chase Hongqing, but before she could take a step, he saw that Neyan was already grunting and jumping, and his face was extremely anxious and rushed to Qinglian's side, grabbed Qinglian's arm, and pleaded pitifully.

"Let it go!"

Qinglian was really angry and anxious, no side, today a brother suddenly ran over, saying that he was falsely accused, and asked Qinglian to help find Hongqingguan to say one or two, but Qinglian did not agree, only said that he would ask the details first and then decide, just since the conversation was not over, Hongqing had already arrived, and when he saw that Hongqing's face was wrong, with Qinglian's IQ, he would not notice that there was something wrong with the situation, and he was in a hurry to find Hongqing to explain one or two, and how could he have the time to listen to the words and plead, and he was angry, and he couldn't care about saving face for his brother, and shook his hand, After scolding angrily, he left a group of people who were at a loss and hurried to the backyard.

"Sister, sister, alas......"

Ne Yan didn't hold Qinglian, his eyes suddenly turned red, he called a few times, and he didn't see Qinglian turn around, so he couldn't help but be a little panicked, stomped his feet hard, and sighed, but he didn't dare to leave, but he didn't dare to go into the backyard again, just like an ant on a hot pot, turning back and forth in the front hall.

"Lord Wang, please use tea."

Fang and his entourage entered the hall in the backyard, and saw Hongqing sitting on the Taishi chair with a gloomy face, Qinglian's footsteps couldn't help but pause, but he didn't rush forward, but first waved his hand to hold back all the maids who followed him, and then poured a bowl of herbal tea with his own hands, held it with both hands, and walked in front of Hongqing, and said softly.

"Hmm."

Among the four ladies, Hongqing's favorite is Qinglian, and thinking that she is pregnant, Hongqing is not good to show her face, so she sighed softly, reached out and took the tea bowl, but did not drink it, but put it on a few beside her.

"Is the prince worried about the matter of the concubine and brother?"

Looking at Hongqing's slightly soothing face, Qinglian bit her red lip lightly and asked tentatively.

"What do you think about that?"

Hongqing did not directly answer Qinglian's question, but glanced at him indifferently, and asked in a cold voice.

"The prince's opinion is the concubine's opinion."

As soon as she heard Hongqing's question, Qinglian's heart sank, no side, she had been close to her brother since she was a child, although she had never promised to help in person, but in her heart she was actually planning to find an opportunity to talk to Hongqingguan, but she didn't expect Hongqing to arrive so quickly, and her attitude was so cold, she didn't dare to say that she would say it at this time, so she could only bite her lip and answer vaguely.

"Well, well, you go and call the words."

The relationship between Qinglian and his brother is good, this point, Hongqing knew it early on, and it is clear that Qinglian seems to have no opinion, but in fact he still wants to say a thing or two for his brother, but this is just such a mouth, Hongqing is not easy to open, there is no side, this is not only related to the future of Ne Yan himself, once there is a slight mistake in the handling, Hongqing himself has to eat the bullet chapter, if it is a big trouble, the old man will inevitably have opinions in his heart, and this, obviously, is not a good thing, because of this, Hongqing couldn't easily give Qinglian a promise, and after a little groaning, he decided to ask the words before making a decision.

"Yes."

Hearing Hongqing's instructions, Qinglian's already heavy heart suddenly sank a little more, there is no other, if Hongqing is willing to help, just a matter of one sentence, why do you need to summon Neyan to ask, it is to inquire, it means that Neyan is afraid that it will be sad to pass this pass, as soon as he thinks of this, Qinglian's eyes should be red, and tears almost came out of his eyes, but he didn't dare to disobey Hongqing's wishes, so he could only respond to the promise in a trembling voice, and lowered his head and went out.

"Hey......"

Looking at Qing Lian's back full of wordless sorrow, Hongqing's heart immediately rolled over for a while, and there was a lot of impulse to stop Qing Lian and comfort him, but at the end, Hongqing still didn't do it, just sighed helplessly.

"Xiaguan knocks to see the prince!"

Not long after Qinglian went, he was already accompanied by the panicked Yan from outside, this time Hongqing sat on the top with a solemn face, and he didn't dare to lose his courtesy, so he hurriedly walked a few steps, grabbed the front, and it was a big gift to worship in a proper manner.

"Excuse me."

Looking at Ne Yan's face that was pale with panic, Hongqing couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart, but his face was still flat, and there was no slightest sense of emotion in his voice, and he put on a businesslike attitude.

"Thank you, Lord Longen."

Although he is not very old, he has been in the officialdom for eight years, and his ability to observe his face and color will not be too bad, just looking at Hongqing's posture, his heart suddenly became half cold, and the corners of his mouth twitched, as if he was saying something to forgive, but at the bottom, he still didn't dare to open that mouth, so he just thanked him honestly and stood aside with his hands down.

"Anyway, is it true that Tang Yao, the prefect of Hangzhou, and others impeached Er, huh?"

Neyan was very honest, but Hongqing did not indulge in this, raised his eyebrows, and asked in a cold voice.

"This ......, I ......"

As soon as he heard Hongqing ask about this matter so bluntly, Neyan suddenly panicked a little, and stammered that he couldn't come up with a reason, but his eyes were unconsciously aimed at Qinglian who was standing next to Hongqing, and his heart was full of pleading, but Qinglian didn't say anything, Neyan suddenly couldn't stand, and fell to his knees.

"Huh?"

Rao is words were already trembling pitifully, but Hongqing didn't have the slightest sense of forgiveness, and snorted coldly.

"The prince is angry, the prince is angry, the lower officials, the lower officials are really confused for a while, but, but it is not the lower officials who do this alone, this is the practice of the department, the lower officials are just acting according to the old routine, and the lower officials are ......"

was forced by Hongqing like this, but he didn't dare to be silent anymore, and his kneeling body trembled suddenly, and he stammered the truth.

"Hmph, what a convention, since you have done evil things, you should know what the evil consequences are, and go back to listen to the ginseng!"

Without waiting for Neyan to finish speaking, Hongqing waved his hand impatiently, and ruthlessly gave the order to expel the guest.

"Ah......, lord, the lower official, the lower official is wronged, the lower official ......"

As soon as he heard Hongqing's words, even if he was dumbfounded, he hurriedly wailed and forged, and refused to leave, no side, the matter of asking for bribes can be big or small, if it is really done according to the law, it is still light to be swept away, and if it is not good, it will have to be sent to serve in front of the army, and the consequences are not something that Ne Yan can afford.

"Get out!"

As soon as Ne Yan cried like this, Hongqing suddenly became angry, slapped a few times, and broke off his throat with a loud voice.

"Ah, the lower officials will get out, this will get out......"

Hongqing's body was full of anger, and when he had such an attack, even if he was scared and trembled, how could he dare to say more, and he rushed out of the hall with a rolling belt, and went far away in despair.

"Lord, the concubine is ......"

Seeing Hongqing angry like this, Qinglian couldn't stand still, and knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes, waiting to say a thing or two, but he didn't know where to start, so he was left with only sobbing.

"Lian'er get up, this matter has nothing to do with you."

Looking at the crying Qinglian, Hongqing was upset, but she still gently reached out and hugged Qinglian to her knees.

"Woo woo woo ......"

Feeling Hongqing's concern, the grievances in Qinglian's heart could no longer be suppressed, and he fell on Hongqing's chest and cried loudly, crying so much that Hongqing couldn't help but be a little in a hurry.

"Okay, don't cry, don't cry, this matter, it's actually for this king, it seems to be a rectifier, but in fact, it's going to slap this king in the face."

Hongqing gently patted Qinglian's back and explained helplessly.

"Ah, that's ......"

Hearing Hongqing's words, it seemed that there was a hint of rescuing him, Qinglian couldn't care about crying, raised his head, looked at Hongqing with teary eyes, and tentatively asked half of the words with a look of anticipation.

"Whoever makes a mistake must bear the consequences, and this is justice, and no one is exempt!"

Hongqing didn't intend to give Qing Lian a chance to intercede, as soon as he waved his hand, he already made a judgment in an unquestionable tone, and as soon as this remark came out, the light of hope that had just flashed in Qing Lian's eyes suddenly dimmed again, and he lowered his head and stopped talking......
