The next day, after Liang Qiuwu finished his usual exercise on weekdays, he went to Xie An's room to wake him up.

And what she felt a little surprised was that for some reason, Xie An, who was used to sleeping lazily on weekdays, was already dressed today.

"Yo, dance!" Xie An, who was lying on the couch, said hello to Liang Qiuwu.

Looking at the layers of folds on Xie An's clothes, Liang Qiuwu said in surprise, "An, why are your clothes so wrinkled?" Didn't you take off your clothes when you rested yesterday? ”

Xie An was stunned, then looked at the clothes on his body, and said, "Uh, this...... I forgot about it last night......"

"You!" Liang Qiu Wu shook his head angrily, took out a set of cotton red brocade clothes from the wardrobe, and served Xie An to change clothes, after all, the clothes on the man's body are related to the face of the women in his family.

During the period of changing Xie An's clothes, he may have noticed that Xie An was yawning constantly, Liang Qiuwu asked curiously, "Didn't you rest last night?" ”

"Yes......" Enjoying the service of the beauty, Xie An deliberately showed a little evil smile, and said with a grin, "Maybe you and Yi Yi were too pampered with me a few days ago, last night, I was very lonely, ......" As he spoke, he raised his right hand and walked provocatively around Liang Qiu Wu's waist.

Even if it was Liang Qiuwu, a heroine who terrified the enemy on the battlefield, she also faded her mask in front of her husband, and under Xie An's caresses, her cheeks unconsciously appeared a little crimson.

"Ann, don't make a fuss...... My grandfather said that before we got married, you and I really shouldn't be like that, relying on jokes...... Bear with me, okay? The day of the wedding on the 4th of February. Not a few days...... Why don't I have Yi accompany you tonight? ”

Seeing that Liang Qiuwu's eyes showed a bit of loneliness and guilt for no reason, Xie An realized that he was joking too much, after all, Liang Qiuwu was a fairly orthodox woman, as a wife, but she couldn't satisfy her husband, she was also quite guilty.

But there is no way, after all, Liang Qiugong is right. She and Xie An have not yet officially married, and sleeping on the same bed all night will indeed attract criticism from outsiders, and even watch jokes.

Seeing this, Xie An hurriedly explained. "Hurry, aren't you? I'm kidding you! - I just thought about this case a little too much last night......"

"Really?"

"Ah, it's true! - Last night, I found the breakthrough point in this case! ”

"Breaking point?" Sorting out Xie An's clothes, Liang Qiuwu wondered, "You said this yesterday, isn't the breakthrough point the other group of assassins?" - How? Do you know the identities of the Assassins? ”

"How can it be so easy?" Xie An sighed in discouragement and said with a frown. "At first, I did suspect that the Dongling Assassins were responsible, but in that case, it didn't make sense...... The Dongling Assassins were loyal to the crown prince Li Wei as much as the Assassins of the Dangerous Tower. If Yu He and several other ministers were killed by Dongling assassins, how could the crown prince Li Wei be so panicked? So much so that he did not hesitate to give up the position of the secretary of the criminal department that he had coveted for a long time to me, and also to win over me? ”

"What do you mean...... Another wave of Assassins. Not the East Ridge Assassins? - Huh? In this way, doesn't it say. There are three groups of assassins lurking in the capital of Jijing? ”

"Perhaps," Xie An shook his head and frowned, "The most direct way to figure out this matter is nothing more than to find the traces of the other group of assassins, but you have also seen that those people are veterans and experienced, and there have been no clues left at the scene of the crime that will reveal their identities, so it is really not easy to catch those people!" - For this reason, I can only find a breakthrough from other places, for example, the two adults Zhang Ji, the waiter of the Chinese book, and Cai Jin, the waiter of the door...... Mai, we'll take a trip to the morgue of the Weiwei Temple later, and I think we'll be able to find the clues we missed yesterday on the corpses of those two adults......"

"Hmm......" Looking at Xie An's thoughtful appearance, Liang Qiuwu unconsciously showed a somewhat inexplicable smile.

Maybe he noticed Liang Qiuwu's gaze, Xie An let out a sigh and said angrily, "[Ah, I've grown up and become reliable!] I said dance, please, don't show that expression? You know, we're the same age, and every time you look at me like that, I feel weird......"

Liang Qiuwu sneered when she heard this, then straightened Xie An's clothes, couldn't help leaning up, touched Xie An's forehead lightly, and said softly, "Speaking of which, the concubine really has to thank that woman, she has become a little manly...... Do it well, don't live up to the concubine and her expectations of you! ——When this case is over, the concubine will propose to the eldest grandson's family on behalf of her husband......"

"Huh?" Xie An was stunned, and subconsciously said, "Wu, you ...... What did you just say? ”

Glancing up at Xie An, Liang Qiuwu's eyes showed a little imperceptible loneliness, and she said in a low voice, "The concubine just said that when this case is over, the concubine will ...... to the eldest grandson's family for you" However, before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Xie An.

"No, no, that's not what you said......"

"......" Liang Qiuwu was stunned, looked at Xie An puzzled, and wondered, "That's what the concubine said......

"No, that's not right!" Xie An shook his head, then smiled and said, "Wu Fang just said...... Husband? ”

Looking at Xie An's evil smile, Liang Qiuwu opened his mouth, his cheeks flew a little crimson, and he said, "Yes...... yes, why all the fuss......"

"Because I'm flattered! - How can Xie someone be able to make [Yan Hu Ji] call his husband a gentleman, this is enough to envy the world! - Good daughter-in-law, let the husband reminisce? ”

Listening to Xie An's **-like tone, Liang Qiuwu suddenly blushed, raised his little hand, gently slapped Xie An's shoulder in embarrassment, bit his lip, and said in a low voice, "Don't be poor...... Let's go to the front hall for dinner first, and when we're done eating, we will go to Weiwei Temple to check the bodies of the two adults and see if there are any clues missing...... Your Majesty is ...... to you Well, I have high hopes for my husband! ”

Seeing that Liang Qiuwu called himself again, Xie An only felt that he couldn't say how comfortable he was, so he pretended to clasp his fists and saluted, and said in a deep voice, "The last general." Obey the orders of General Liang Qiu! ”

"Still messing around...... You can't pick up your shoulders, you can't lift your hands, you can't even lift the treasure knife on your concubine's body, what kind of general are you? Liang Qiuwu hammered Xie An angrily and funny.

"Hey, hey, you didn't say that about your husband, did you?"

"You, it's really ......" Looking at Xie An's exaggerated expression, Liang Qiuwu shook his head helplessly, and then couldn't help but chuckle out loud, I have to say. She is always serious on weekdays, but when she occasionally smiles, there is an indescribable contrast charm.

After a fun episode between the young couple, Xie An and Liang Qiuwu went to the front hall to eat together, although the food prepared by Yi Yi was still so rich and delicious. But because Xie Anxin had been thinking about what he had thought of last night, he didn't have time to savor it.

Half an hour later, Xie An danced with Liang Qiu, and the four guards Fei Guo, Su Xin, Li Jing, and Qi Hao, who were resting in the Donggong Mansion yesterday, were about to ride towards the Weiwei Temple, but as soon as they left the mansion, they saw the carriage of the Weiwei Temple Qing Xunzheng coming from afar.

"This hour. What is Brother Xun doing in Donggong Mansion? Didn't you say that it was good to meet at Weiwei Temple? Muttering, Xie An, who was puzzled, led his horse to meet him.

At this time, Xun Zheng, the guard in the carriage, had obviously learned from the horseman who was driving that Xie An and the others were waiting not far in front of the Donggong Mansion, so he waited for the carriage to stop. And he walked out of it.

Seeing this, Xie An stepped forward and said with a smile, "Brother Xun is here just in time. Last night, the younger brother thought of something and was about to go to the Weiwei Temple to verify it...... "However. Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xun Zheng.

"Brother, General Wu, Zhengyangmen is out of the basket!"

Zhengyangmen?

Isn't that where the palace gate is?

Xie An was stunned, glanced at Liang Qiuwu, who was also puzzled, and said strangely, "It can't be, a few more corpses have been found, right?" ”

"No, no," Xun Zheng shook his head, then lowered his voice, frowned, and said, "It's much more serious than that!" In the early morning of this day, hundreds of scholars from the Qintianjian of the Hanlin Academy, the Yutang Bureau, and the Longtu Pavilion, together with thousands of scholars and Confucian scholars in the capital of Hebei, gathered in the square in front of Zhengyang Gate, staged a sit-in protest, and were excited, demanding that the imperial court release the eighth prince Li Xian, and apologize to the eighth prince for the court's groundless suspicion that the eighth prince Li Xian had murdered the ministers...... At present, Na Wenqin has led the northern army to surround Zhengyangmen Square and negotiate with those scholars...... My brother just received an edict from His Majesty, and His Majesty asked me to wait to solve this matter first! - Brother, this matter is very important, and it cannot be delayed! ”

......Seeing the nervous look on Xun Zheng's face, Xie An nodded slowly, and temporarily stopped his plan to go to Weiwei Temple, and the group turned around and headed towards Zhengyang Gate.

Half a moment later, when Xie An and his entourage rushed to Zhengyangmen, Zhengyangmen was already overcrowded, thousands of scholars and literati wearing Confucian shirts sat quietly on the snow in front of the palace gate, silently protesting, among them, hundreds of people were still wearing the official uniforms of the Hanlin Academy, and there were many high-ranking officials with three grades and three grades.

What made Xie An frown even more was that at this moment, in front of Zhengyang Gate, not only those literati, but also thousands of people gathered around, and I don't know what these people thought, they actually joined the ranks of scribes and protested to the imperial court.

Even, during Xie An's arrival at Zhengyangmen, a steady stream of people rushed to Zhengyangmen on the streets of Jijing to join the ranks of the Shilin Confucian scholars, making this team protesting to the imperial court stronger and stronger.

Rao is Xie An, when he saw such a scene, he couldn't help but be shocked, frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" Isn't Hanlin Yuan the power of the crown prince? ”

Perhaps guessing what Xie Anxin was thinking, Xun Zheng shook his head and said in a low voice, "The elder brother knows what the elder brother is thinking, and the elder brother thinks that the young master of the prince and the head of the palace."

Chu Xi, a scholar of the auxiliary university, is the prince's person, so he thinks that the Hanlin Academy is the prince's power? - Brother misunderstood, Hanlin Academy, from the very beginning, it was the power of the Eighth Prince Li Xian! No, it should be said that all the scholars in the world admire the Eighth Prince Li Xian! ——His Royal Highness Li Xian's prestige among the Confucian scholars in Shilin is far higher than that of Duke Yin, not to mention Chu Xi, the first assistant university scholar of the palace, that old guy, just cares about his false title of prince and young master, except for him, the whole Hanlin Academy is the head of His Royal Highness Li Xian! ”

"It's even more famous than Duke Yin?" Xie Anxin was shocked, and after thinking about it carefully, he frowned and said, "What does the elder brother mean, is this matter made up by the Eighth Emperor Li Xian?" ”

"Ten of you!" Xun Zheng raised his sleeve to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead and looked left and right. whispered, "Either His Royal Highness Li Xian himself instructed it, or the people under his command who instigated it...... This is a counterattack against the crown prince for framing His Royal Highness Li Xian! ”

"Fight back?" Xie An was stunned, looked up, and suddenly saw Wen Qin, the Qing of Guanglu Temple, who led many guards of the Northern Army, and to his surprise, Wen Qin, who had always been arrogant in his impression, faced with such a scene now, there was a faint fear of not daring to cross the thunder pond by half a step.

"There are thousands of guards of the Northern Army here. Why didn't Mr. Wen do anything? - Isn't it over arresting all the troublemakers? Xie An asked in surprise.

"Wen Qin doesn't dare!" Xun Zheng shook his head, then sighed, and said in a low voice, "In all fairness, if it's an old brother." I don't dare to ......."

Xie An was puzzled when he heard this, and said suspiciously, "Brother is one of the Nine Emperors, and he is afraid of those scribes? ”

"Brother doesn't understand how powerful it is!" Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Xun Zheng shook his head and said, "I hope that the scribes in the capital are the best scribes in the world. His articles are spread all over the world! - Don't look at these people who can't pick up their shoulders or hands, but the pen in their hands can be very tight, if you offend them. They wrote you a few essays and spread your notoriety everywhere, which is really ruined in a lifetime, and you can't wash it away by jumping into the Yellow River! - That's right. [Warriors are strong, honest and uninsulting; The scholar is weak. Don't be deceived! ——These Confucian scholars can not only make you famous for eternity, but also make you stinking for thousands of years! - Don't offend easily......"

Xie An was stunned when he heard this, and said strangely, "But they are forcing the palace and the court to compromise, should they just let them go?" ”

"In my brother's opinion?"

Xie An thought for a while, waved his hand and said, "Arrest the mastermind and deal with it strictly, and the rest will naturally disperse!" ”

"My brother knew that my brother would say that, but this must not be!" Xun Zheng sighed, shook his head and said, "Among the Wensheng Confucian scholars, there are the most hard bones, their hearts are arrogant, and they are arrogant...... Brother thinks that killing a few Confucian scholars will be over? If you kill them, you will fulfill their reputation, and at that time, the killed Confucian scholars will be written into praise for the world, but the elder brother will leave a stench for ten thousand years! - Why does your brother think His Majesty wants me to wait to appease? ”

"Can't be killed?"

"Can't be killed!" Xun Zheng shook his head.

Looking at Xun Zheng's nervous expression, Xie An frowned slightly.

Good guy, the eighth prince Li Xian is not a good stubble, and he has forced the court to such a dilemma without moving......

Suddenly, Xie An saw an acquaintance in the corner in the distance, it was the guard and staff member of the Eighth Prince Li Xian, Ji Hong.

I saw that Ji Hong was leaning on a stone pillar on Guang'an outside Zhengyang Gate, wrapping his arms and looking at the movement on Guang'an faintly.

Obviously, this person is most likely the mastermind who led the matter of forcing the palace.

Frowning, Xie An pouted in the direction of Ji Hong, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Xun, do you recognize that person?" ”

As if he guessed what Xie Anxin was thinking, Xun Zheng said in a low voice, "This person's brother has investigated, surnamed Ji Minghong, a person from Daliang, before joining the command of His Royal Highness Li Xian, he is a famous swordsman in Daliang, good at making a thin sword, the sword is as fast as thunder, known as [Fast Sword Ji Hong], it is a behind-the-scenes hero who helped His Royal Highness Li Xian calm the instability in Jiangnan, it is said that his strategy to enter the body used five grains of rice to analyze the forces of all parties in Jiangnan to His Royal Highness Li Xian, therefore, the person next to His Royal Highness Li Xian called this person [Wumi Shi], is a talent with both civil and military skills, It is also the most relied on right-hand man by His Royal Highness Li Xian's side! - Does my brother recognize this person? ”

"I don't recognize it, but I've had a few faces...... Dance, brother, you wait here, I'll meet him! With that, Xie An glanced at Fei Guo, and the two walked quietly in the direction of Ji Hong.

Although when Jin Ling'er attacked Li Xian the night before, Ji Hong's coping was quite embarrassing, but as Fei Guo said, this person's martial arts skills are good, and before Xie An and Fei Guo approached, Ji Hong had already noticed it, turned around, and looked at Xie An step by step towards him with a smile.

"Mr. Ji, long time no see!" Walking in front of Ji Hong, Xie An chuckled and hugged his fists.

Glancing at Xie An beside Xie An, Ji Hong showed a little smile on his face, and arched his hand and said, "I actually asked Lord Xie to go forward to salute." Ji is ashamed to be a ......"

"Where, if Mr. Ji hadn't recovered the money bag stolen by the thief for the official a few days ago, I'm afraid the official would have gone bankrupt......"

"Huh!" Ji Hong chuckled lightly and said, "Master Xie doesn't need to be polite, it's just a little thing, besides, ......" Speaking of this, he glanced at Xie An, and his eyes showed a little strange color. said lightly, "If Ji Hong knew Lord Xie that day, and knew that Lord Xie snatched love with a knife and snatched the woman of my lord's heart, I'm afraid Ji would only stand by and watch at that time!" - Perhaps. Maybe I'll be gloating on the sidelines......"

Seeing Ji Hong mention the eldest grandson Xiangyu, Xie Anxin was a little embarrassed, after all, after asking Liang Qiu Wu, he knew that the eldest grandson Xiangyu had a marriage contract with Li Xian when he was young, not to mention whether the eldest grandson Xiangyu nodded at that time, but at least. His father, Changsun Jing, the squire of the military department, approved of this marriage, otherwise, why would the eldest grandson's family stand on Li Xian's side?

From this point of view, Xie An took advantage of Li Xian's absence in Jijing. snatched the heart of the eldest grandson Xiangyu and snatched love with a knife, which is indeed not the work of a gentleman.

Of course, Xie An was not a gentleman in the first place. asked him to choose between the eldest grandson Xiangyu and the gentleman, no matter how many times. Xie Andu will only choose the eldest grandson Xiangyu, after all, a beautiful and intelligent woman like the eldest grandson Xiangyu has not met in a hundred years, so don't you have to strike first? Who would be stupid enough to give up such a beauty to someone else?

Xie An, who has always been thick-skinned, doesn't feel how ashamed the woman who has taken away the eighth prince Li Xian's longing will be, this is called first-come, first-served!

"Mr. Ji said this funny, as the so-called [My Fair Lady, Gentleman is good], although this official is not a gentleman, but when he sees a beautiful woman, how can he give it to others? - Snatching love with a knife? Hey, the official didn't use means to force it, and Mr. also saw it on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, and she did it voluntarily......"

"......" Seeing Xie An's calm expression and not ashamed at all, Ji Hong frowned slightly and said sarcastically, "Before entering Jijing, Ji also heard of Lord Xie, and knew that Lord Xie could speak well, and when I saw it today, it was better than being famous!" - I don't know what Master Xie has to say? ”

Seeing that Ji Hong spoke straightforwardly, Xie An didn't want to beat around the bush anymore, and nodded towards the overcrowded scene of Guang'an in front of Zhengyang Gate, and said lightly, "If nothing else, this is Mr. Ji's doing, right?" - It's spectacular! ”

"Spectacular? Hey, if Master Xie had been to Jiangnan, he wouldn't have said that......" As he spoke, the corners of Ji Hong's mouth raised a little inexplicable sneer, and he said lightly, "Come and don't be rude!" - When my lord first returned to Jijing, he was treated like the prince of the East Palace, sending assassins to harm my lord and not saying anything, and even framing my lord for trumped-up charges. ——I heard that there is a calligraphy and painting in Lord Xie's study, which is from his mother...... Cough, it is written by Miss Yushou of the eldest grandson, and the book [The grace of a meal must be repaid, and the grievances of the eyes must be repaid], so thinking about it, Lord Xie can probably understand today's events! ”

Xie An frowned when he heard this, and said unhappily, "Mr. Ji, is this trying to force the palace?" ”

"No, no, no," shaking his finger, Ji Hong said lightly, "It's too much to say that it's forcing the palace, Ji just thinks that the world is righteous, bright and bright, how can there be such a thing as perennial dark clouds covering the sun?" - My lord has suffered such an injustice for no reason, and naturally he wants to seek justice! ”

Glancing at Ji Hong deeply, Xie An frowned and said, "If His Royal Highness Li Xian is really innocent, the imperial court will be fair to His Highness, but it is not the best policy to do something like Mr....... Before it caused a catastrophe, Mr. still quickly persuaded the countless scholars and Confucian students here to be wonderful! ”

Ji Hong chuckled softly when he heard this, and after glancing at Xie An, he said sarcastically, "I'm just waiting for the prince of the East Palace, what does it have to do with Lord Xie?" Why did Lord Xie want to relieve the siege of the prince of the East Palace? Oh, by the way, Lord Xie has joined forces with the East Palace Prince right now, right? ——[Acting for the Ministry of Criminal Affairs], Xie An, Lord Xie! ”

"......" Listening to the thick sarcasm in Ji Hong's mouth, Xie An's eyebrows were furrowed, he was really a little displeased, and after taking a deep look at Ji Hong, he said in a low voice, "Mr. Ji needs to prevent himself from being burned!" ”

Ji Hong chuckled lightly and said lightly, "Forgive Ji for being stupid, I don't know the meaning of Xie Shangshu's words!" ”

"Then the official will be clearer," taking a step closer, Xie An raised his head, looked directly at Ji Hong, who was a head taller than him, and said coldly, "This official is not the person of the crown prince Li Wei, but he also doesn't want to give Xiangyu to your lord, so if Mr. Ji thinks that this official plans to make any friends with your lord, His Royal Highness Li Xian, then Mr. Ji is wrong!" - This official is not a gentleman, and he doesn't care about any false name, let alone a reputation after thousands of years, whether it is a good name or a bad name, this official doesn't care, if these people continue to make trouble like this, this official will call Weiwei Temple and Da Prison Temple to be punished strictly, at that time, Mr. Ji, please remember that those Confucian students who died unjustly in prison were killed by Mr. Ji! ”

Glancing at Xie An deeply, a hint of color flashed in Ji Hong's eyes, and he suddenly chuckled and said, "Xie Shangshu is at his own convenience!" ”

Shh This guy doesn't get oil and salt, so it's not easy to fool...... Damn it!

Xie An secretly gritted his teeth fiercely.
