Although Yang Rui has been out of the palace many times before, she rarely eats outside, mainly because she is the emperor, even if she does not prevent people outside from poisoning her, she must prevent eating bad things and causing physical discomfort. Once you get used to the soup and food in the palace and eat something outside, you may feel fresh and delicious, but your body will easily lose it.

Han Jian also understood this, especially knowing that Yang Rui was not in good health on weekdays and couldn't eat those cold things.

Before they had a seat, the kitchen had already begun to prepare.

By the time it was almost ready, there was already an empty table upstairs. Although Han Jian didn't go upstairs to see it in person, he also knew that it was the shopkeeper who spent money to let the regular customers upstairs leave first in order not to be derelict in his duties, so that Han Jian and Yang Rui could go upstairs earlier instead of waiting downstairs.

"You sit here on weekdays when you're fine?"

As soon as he sat down, Yang Rui felt that the scenery of the window seat was very good, and he could see the beautiful scenery of Luoyang City when he looked out, so he couldn't help asking.

Han Jian wanted to say that he often came over when he came out with Yang Xi, but when the words came to his lips, he was afraid of causing Yang Rui to miss him, so he just smiled slightly and nodded.

"It's a nice place." Yang Rui looked at the sunset outside the window and said with a smile, "There is no such good place to enjoy the scenery in the palace." ”

Han Jianxin said that there are countless pavilions and pavilions in the palace, and that is called really enjoying the scenery. Now in such a place outside the palace, no matter how good the scenery is, it is not as good as in the palace. But Yang Rui grew up in the palace, and she was too familiar with everything in the palace, and the affairs outside were new to her. When Yang Rui said such words, he could also feel that Yang Rui was tired of life in the palace.

Han Jian nodded and said, "Then there is time, go out and walk more." ”

"Hmm."

Yang Rui nodded, but his mood was not good after all. The interior of the house was still noisy, a little out of place with the tranquility outside the window. It's as if on one side is a bustling secular place, and on the other side is a paradise away from the hustle and bustle.

Yang Rui has been staring out the window. Han Jian knew that Yang Rui was more yearning for a life away from the hustle and bustle. But he also knew that even if there was him in the beautiful world that Yang Rui weaved, there should not be so many women around him. This is probably also the reason why Yang Rui is often a little lonely.

For dinner, the two of them didn't eat quickly, and it had been more than half an hour since they finished eating. Han Jian was about to send Yang Rui back to the palace, but he didn't wait to go downstairs. Then I heard a noise in the street. Han Jian couldn't stop, and after a while, the guards had already come in and explained the situation outside.

“…… Someone went to the street and killed two passers-by, and the villains have been taken down. ”

Han Jian frowned, the street outside Qingxu Yashe has always been managed by the government, even the local security guards dare not come over to intervene, how can there suddenly be a villain killing people on the street? Could it be related to Yang Rui's exit from the palace?

"It's not peaceful outside, so let's go up first. I'll wait until things are clarified. Han Jian said to Yang Rui.

"Afraid of what?" Yang Rui smiled slightly, "I'm used to seeing life and death, are you still afraid that a bad guy won't succeed?" Or do you think that bad guy has a chance to commit murder? ”

Han Jian knew that Yang Rui had extraordinary courage, and as an emperor, she was different from ordinary women. He had no choice but to respond.

When they went to Qingxu Yashe together, they saw many people watching, and a very young man in his twenties was pressed to the ground. Although the light was dim, he couldn't see his face clearly, but he could also make out the indomitability on his face. Even if someone holds it down. Still struggling.

"Young boy." Seeing Han Jian coming, the guards who helped subdue the young man hurriedly saluted.

"What's going on?" Han Jian glanced at the young man who was pressed to the ground, and always felt that something was wrong, so he asked in detail.

"Back to the young son, he committed murder on the street, and both of them died. Should it be handed over to the Imperial Governor's Office for investigation? The guard asked.

In the eyes of the guards. This is just an ordinary trivial matter, as long as it does not endanger the safety of the Eastern King and the Emperor, the ordinary case only needs to be handed over to the Tingwei Mansion. But Han Jian still wondered why someone would be so blatant in the street.

"Don't alarm the Tingwei Mansion yet." Han Jian said and stepped forward. At this time, the young man who was pressed to the ground also tried to squint at the person who spoke as he came.

"Why do you kill?" Han Jian lowered his body slightly and asked.

The young man sneered: "Kill and kill, and ask why?" If the eldest husband dies sooner or later, what is there to fear about death? ”

"Not afraid of death? That cut off his head! Han Jian replied.

"Yes!" As soon as the guards heard this, they immediately gave orders. This was an order given by the King of the East in front of the emperor, and they were not allowed to doubt or disobey it.

But the young man was a little unexpected, and was about to be pressed, and the long knife was already on top of his head, so he shouted: "Why abuse lynching? ”

"At this point, do you know what an abusive lynching is? You kill people in the street, isn't that the case? Han Jian returned to Yang Rui's side and said with a grim expression.

The young man relented a little and said, "I kill people...... It's because there are grievances, and the government doesn't care, so they have to do it themselves. ”

Han Jian nodded and glanced at Yang Rui, who seemed to be in a trance and didn't seem to care much about the things in front of him. Han Jian knew that Yang Rui at this time was either thinking of Yang Yu or Yang Xi.

"Take him inside for questioning." Han Jian said a word, and then greeted Yang Rui, and the two returned to the upstairs of Qingxu Yashe together.

At this time, there were no more guests left in the Qingxu House. Even if there are guests, they don't dare to stay after the commotion outside.

By the time Han Jian and Yang Rui returned upstairs, the entire second floor was empty.

Han Jian and Yang Rui returned to the table that had been cleaned up and sat down, and at this time, the shopkeeper had already personally brought tea up, and an ordinary window seat seemed to have become a public court.

"What's your name?" Han Jian looked at the young man who was pressed to the ground and knelt on the ground, and just committed murder in the street, and asked.

Han ...... Han Qi. ”

"Han Qi?" Han Jian smiled, he actually had the same surname as himself, "You said that you committed murder on the street because you have grievances that cannot be reclaimed, what is going on?" ”

Han Qi snorted and said, "I didn't kill people, I killed two beasts, why do you need to kill animals?" ”

"It's not a small tone." Han Jian glanced at the Tingwei Mansion who had just been transferred, and said, "What is the identity of the deceased?" ”

“…… One of the deceased was a wealthy man in the city, named Hu Santong. The other person was the butler of the Hu family. Name Hu Yi. Now the people of the Hu family have come to identify the body. The headcatcher replied respectfully.

Han Qiben was a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and he looked proud, but when he heard that even the head catcher spoke so respectfully, he knew that it was a big man.

"Brother Yang, what do you think?" Han Jian asked Yang Rui.

Yang Rui sighed lightly and said, "Such a trivial matter is still handed over to the Tingwei Mansion." What do you do to take care of him? ”

When Han Qi heard this, killing people by himself was a trivial matter, as if these two big people didn't want to pay attention to it. Dengshi's heart was on fire, and he said angrily: "My wife was robbed, and even my father was beaten to the point of only one breath, what happened to me killing them?" is in cahoots with the people of the government, and there is no good person in the official! ”

Han Jianxin said that this is a murder for love?

Han Jian looked at the catcher again and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The head catcher obviously looked a little evasive, and said, "I don't know......"

In the end, Han Jian is observant of people, since he can't even avoid catching heads. That should be the young man's words are not false.

But at this time, the person who came to identify the body of the Hu family had been escorted up by the yacha of the Tingwei Mansion. It was a fierce-looking woman in her forties and another loyal old man in her forties and fifties.

“…… Okay, your surname is Han, you killed a thousand knives, and you actually dared to kill our master! Let the official master cut you with a thousand knives! As soon as the woman came up, she scolded loudly, and even shouted there a little arrogantly, and Han Jian didn't understand much after yelling for a long time, but he understood her last sentence, "...... None of the people with the surname Han are things......"

As soon as he said this, he spoke. The guards present all looked at Han Jian, meaning that they should fix this shrew's rudeness?

"This lady. Don't speak so politely? He killed your master as a Han Qi, why did he implicate all the people surnamed Han? Han Jian said with a smile.

Yang Rui on the side looked a little relieved, but said with a smile: "But what she said is not wrong." ”

This was said with a joking meaning, but the woman looked at the two of them sitting upright as usual. The two boys who also look very young, but they seem to be on top.

“…… The woman who kills a thousand knives ...... can't speak well at all. Just scolding there.

At this time, Yun Shangming, the Shaofu of the Tingwei Mansion, had already come, a middle-aged official in his forties, and he was personally appointed by Yang Rui. This is also a "cool official" specially recruited from the local government in order to maintain the stability of Luoyang after the Li Yu case.

In troubled times, it should be re-enacted. Yang Rui also hopes to use cool officials to temporarily suppress the current chaos in Luoyang City.

Yun Shangming looked at it as a very conservative official, and after coming up, he bowed head-on, and said: "The courtier's young mansion, Yunling, please give His Majesty Xià and His Royal Highness the East King." ”

As a result, there was no sound upstairs, and the woman who was still scolding was silent.

"Yun Shaofu. What's going on? Han Jian looked at Yun Shangming, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked.

"Minister...... I occasionally heard it before, saying that there were people in the capital who did not agree. It may breed murder and do not want to ...... But it was this gangster who dared to commit murder in the street. ”

Yun Shangming was very vague when he answered the question, mainly because Luoyang is now stable, but he, the Shaofu of the Tingwei Mansion, doesn't seem to have done much. And if he said that he didn't know anything about the murder this time, he might be held accountable by the East King. He also knew that he was appointed by the emperor to serve as a lieutenant of the Imperial Palace, and he had not passed through the Dongwang Mansion. As a courtier, he naturally knows the importance of taking sides.

When he said this, he originally wanted to put aside the relationship, but Han Jian had already clearly noticed that he had something to do with the matter.

"What the hell is going on?" Han Jian asked sharply.

Yun Shangming was vague and didn't know how to answer, Han Jian had no choice but not to listen to him, and turned to look at Han Qi and said, "You say." ”

"This ...... It must be His Royal Highness the East King, the villain has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, and offended His Royal Highness the East King. But please ask His Royal Highness the East King to call the shots for the villain? As he spoke, Han Qi snorted and cried, as if he had found someone to support him.

“…… The villain and his cousin are childhood sweethearts, the two have no guesses, they have made a marriage contract since they were young, they never thought that their cousin was seventeen years old, and the villain was about to marry his cousin, but he learned that his cousin had been snatched away, and his father was beaten. The villain is not popular, but this is ...... Invite the people of the Hu family to seek justice, so I ......"

The story sounded smooth, but Han Jian still sensed that something was wrong.

Originally, it was none of his business, he didn't care. But from the beginning, he expected that Yiqiē's conspiracy was aimed at him and Yang Rui. In other words, the street murder in front of him is just a play in front of him and Yang Rui. Han Jian knew very well that there were not so many coincidences in the world, since this Han Qi could kill people on the street. also took advantage of the fact that he came with Yang Rui, which showed that he had been prepared. Today, he and Yang Rui went out of the palace, and few people knew about it, and he and Yang Rui temporarily decided to come to Qingxu Yashe, and they didn't even know about the few guards around him.

This Han Qi, how could he be so in such a hurry to kill people outside the Qingxu Yashe. It just happened to be found out by him and Yang Rui?

Han Jian squinted at Han Qi, and it seemed that Han Qi's surname was also the key. The murderer has no other surname, but has the same surname as him, and as soon as the woman came up and scolded, she scolded with the surname Han. It seems that every qiē is explaining that someone did it on purpose, and let the surnamed Han deliberately do this, attract the attention of the king of the east, and save him once. Or even appreciate the person's talent and keep it around for use.

It seemed ridiculous, and Han Jian also felt that what he was thinking in his heart was too conspiracy theory. It is also questionable whether there are people who have the ability and means to do so.

"You said you learned that your cousin was snatched away, but why weren't you around when you snatched it?" Han Jian asked.

“…… Villain...... The villain went to join the army......" Han Qi replied hesitantly, as if he didn't want to say it.

The middle-aged man next to the woman mustered up the courage to step forward and said, "This ...... Master Guan, this surname is Han...... It's a deserter. According to the code of my Great Wei. Deserters are to be beheaded. ”

Han Qi hurriedly explained: "...... The villain is not a deserter, not a deserter. The villain just knew that the old father in the family was critically ill. That's when I came back...... The villain is the only son in the family, and it was the general who saw the villain as pitiful and let the villain return to his hometown. Please also ask Your Highness to take a clear look at ......"

As he spoke, Han Qi kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Han Jian frowned again.

Originally, he thought that this Han Qi was deliberately arranged to come over to act, and since such a person was such a person, it was impossible to assassinate him and Yang Rui. The purpose of coming to act was nothing more than to save his life and keep him by his side. But if this Han Qi is a deserter, then the matter seems to make no sense.

A deserter, even if he is saved, is ultimately useless. Even if you arrange a background for him, he won't use such an identity to come out and fool around!

Han Jianxin said. Could it be that I think too much, this is a very ordinary case of revenge for love?

“…… Alright, leave it to the Tingwei Mansion. Han Jian said, "If there is a result of the case, remember to send a file to the Dongwang Mansion, and don't rush to execute the prisoner first." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Haoyun Shangming breathed a sigh of relief and watched Han Jian and Yang Rui leave. As soon as the person left, naturally Han Qi couldn't run, and was escorted to the direction of Tingwei's Mansion.

On the way back to the palace, Yang Rui said with some interest: "Why are you nosy and want to ask about the murder case?" ”

Han Jian sighed: "I'm afraid that things are not so simple. ”

Han Jian talked about his previous doubts, including those he was worried about.

Yang Rui also nodded and said, "It sounds a little reasonable. But it may also be a coincidence, today you and I went to the house to eat, how can others know? ”

Han Jian smiled and said, "Others may not know, but there will always be people who know." The most feared person in the world. But after thinking about it, if what I am worried about is true, then the appearance of this Han Qi still doesn't figure out what his purpose is? An ordinary kid, nameless and powerless, what can he do? ”

"Then you will find out if there is such a person tomorrow?" Yang Rui replied with a smile.

Han Jian nodded, it seemed that even if this Han Qi's appearance was not a conspiracy, he couldn't sit idly by. Otherwise, I am afraid that there will be one more unjust soul in this world. Originally, Han Qi had already seized the opportunity to present the grievances to his Eastern King and the Emperor, but he still wanted to "die in vain", so it was really a bit wronged.

……

……

Han Jian stayed in the palace overnight, and when it was dawn the next day, he had to get up and leave the palace.

Yang Rui seemed to have a lot of depression in his heart, and on the bed, he was very obsessed with him, as if he wanted to use this way to explain himself.

Han Jian is not a person who does not understand the amorous feelings, and in the face of Yang Rui's enthusiasm, he will naturally not ignore it. It wasn't until the second half of the night that Han Jian fell asleep, so when he left the palace, Han Jian's spirit was not very good.

After leaving the palace, Han Jian got on the horse, and at this time the guards had already handed over the battle report from the north last night to Han Jian, Han Jian first asked if there was any urgent military affairs, and then he was a little relieved and took all the battle reports into his arms.

"Young boy, do you want to go back to the East Palace?" The guard asked.

"Let's go to the Tingwei's Mansion and have a look." Han Jian remembered what happened to Han Qi and said.

The guards immediately led the way. The group rode together in front of the Tingwei Mansion, but at this time, the Tingwei Mansion had not yet opened.

After the guards went up to call the door and showed their intentions, the people from the Tingwei Mansion hurriedly opened the door to greet them.

At this time, Yun Shangming, the Shaofu of the Tingwei Mansion, had already returned to the mansion, and there were only a few officials on duty watching the entire Tingwei Mansion. These officials and officials on duty themselves have nothing to do, or they are "gambling on pleasure". Either that, or just napping. Hearing that the East King was coming, they were all a little panicked.

"The prisoner who committed the murder in the street yesterday, but here?" Han Jian came directly to the main hall of the Tingwei Mansion and asked.

“…… At! A man who looked like a steward answered.

"Bring it here, and the king will interrogate it himself."

The steward obviously didn't expect the king of the east to come and ask nothing, and directly wanted to interrogate the prisoner. Just at a loss, the guard had already gone to the cell himself.

Regarding the structure of the Tingwei Mansion, Han Jian and the guards around him are very familiar with it. Han Jian can also be regarded as a "frequent visitor" of the Tingwei Mansion.

Waiting for others to be escorted up, Han Jian saw Han Qi's appearance covered in bruises. I knew it wasn't that simple.

"What's going on?" Han Jian said.

"This ......" the man in charge still didn't answer, he didn't know how to answer.

Han Jian sat in the main hall and said with a smile: "Could it be that he committed murder on the street, so many people watched, and he still refused to admit it?" ”

"I didn't ...... No. The steward knelt on the ground, as if he had done something wrong," it was Shaofu...... Ordered people to fight. I don't know why. ”

"Oh." Han Jian nodded and said. "Do you know what happened to Han Qi before?"

"I've heard a little." The steward's reply.

"Then tell the king what you have heard a little. If you have half a word to hide, I will cut you with a thousand knives! Han Jian sneered.

The steward was so shocked that he quickly told him what he knew.

It turned out that Han Qi was just a tenant outside Luoyang City, but he made a private agreement with one of his cousins for life. However, he was forgiven by his family and made up for their marriage. It's just that the imperial court is conscripted, and this Han Qi went north with the army.

Although Han Qi's cousin was married to Han Qi's wife, she was still snatched away by the Hu family. Han Qi's father and the people in the clan wanted to seek justice through the guò government, but the people of the Hu family got through the government. made people beat Han Qi's father for the crime of disturbing the court. Han Qi's father was injured and sick, and he saw that there was no way to live. Han Qi heard about the incident at home in the army, so he sued and asked for leave, and when he returned home, he didn't want to, but he couldn't help it. That's when the murderous heart was moved.

Han Jian nodded slightly after listening to what the steward said. A qiē seems to be a logical order.

But Han Jian still has some puzzlement. Although Han Qi is the only son in the family, since he is in the army, how can he come back from leave? This is somewhat unreasonable.

Moreover, Han Qi was with Su Tingxia's army, others didn't know, he was very clear about the situation in Su Tingxia's army in the previous months, and the problem of desertion was very strict. Saying anything about asking for leave, most of it is rhetoric, in the end, Han Qi is still a deserter.

However, one thing is the same thing, at that time, Su Tingxia's army was short of food, and there were not a few people who starved to death in the army, so Han Qi fled home in order to survive, which is also reasonable. And he killed for the sake of his wife being snatched away, and even if he was guilty, he would not be guilty of death.

"The official mansion you are talking about, but the Tingwei Mansion?" Han Jian asked.

"Positive...... Precisely. ”

Han Jian sneered, and said in his heart that this Hu family really has a lot of ways, and they can actually get through such a joint as Tingwei Mansion. The Tingwei Mansion is the main yamen responsible for the security of the entire Gyeonggi City, and even if there is a way, it must have cost a lot of money. Otherwise, how could the Tingwei Mansion be the master of a rich family? The Hu family itself does not have the background of the official government, that is to say, it is not an official family, and it is impossible to have any friendship with the imperial court. And Yun Shangming himself was also requisitioned from the local government, and it seems that he can't start from anywhere else except for silver.

"Send a few people to raid the Hu family." Han Jian said, "As for Han Qi's ...... Cousin, also brought here. ”

Han Jian said, getting up, this time is almost sunrise. Day by day, he himself felt a little tired.

He thought to himself, could it be that he had to do something for heaven today?

But it was Han Qi, because he was beaten and only had half a life left, even if he knew that someone was supporting him, he was still a little dying and lying there, and there was no movement for a long time. (To be continued......)
