The big guy? Jiao Niang couldn't help frowning two green daisies, "What kind of big guy?"

"That's it—" The old man was about to say, but the old lady coughed lightly, interrupted him, pushed him aside, and said, "Guest officer, don't listen to his nonsense, how do we little people know anything." ”

The old man smacked his lips, and the old lady glared at him fiercely, and then he closed his mouth.

But speaking of which, the daughter of Mr. Zhang's family is a good person and always helps the poor. The old lady said again.

The old man pouted, and couldn't help but interject: "She is atoning for her father's sins." ”

"Why are you talking so much, it's not enough to go to the back to see if it's enough. The old lady was afraid that trouble would come out of her mouth, so she sent him away.

The old man was not convinced, and his mouth was broken, so he went to the back.

Out of the noodle stall, Chu Cicada glanced at both sides and whispered to Jiao Niang: "Master, the people who followed us are gone." ”

Jiao Niang raised her eyes to look, and sure enough, without the surveillance of those two people, she was still wondering, at this time, two people in strong clothes came to meet her, arching their hands towards Jiao Niang, "The people who followed the side concubine Niangniang have been solved by their subordinates, and Niangniang is as free as she wants." ”

Jiao Niang knew that this was the person arranged by Yingche, and nodded, "Where is the prince?" she asked.

The guard replied, "The prince has returned safely." ”

Jiao Niang's heart was relieved, and her tense heart seemed to be a big stone falling to the ground, and she couldn't help but smile on her face.

At this time, there is no leisure to go shopping again, and I will rush back without stopping.

"Your Highness, why did you come back?" After three days of not returning, Yingche's chin was obviously more blue, and when Jiao Niang saw him, she ran to hug him, and his stubble was stuck on her face, tickling.

Ying Che cupped her face and kissed her, "Do you miss this king?"

Jiao Niang looked at him and nodded heavily, she opened a pair of beautiful eyes, tears couldn't fall, and it was pitiful to look at it, "I think, Jiao Niang really misses His Royal Highness." ”

Wang Zhan stood aside and said to Ying Che with a smile: "The side concubine Niangniang has been thinking about the prince for the past few days, and she can't eat or sleep. ”

"Really?" Ying Che Meiyu smiled, her somewhat haggard face was a little more radiant, and Jiao Niang said "um" lightly, leaning on his shoulder obediently. Ying Che smiled lightly, hugged Jiao Niang to the bed to sit and talk.

Wang Zhan naturally told Ying Che about the events of the past few days before, and there was no need for Jiao Niang to repeat this, she only told him what she had heard at the noodle shop.

"Your Highness, who will be the big man above you?"

Ying Che snorted slightly, "Who else could it be?"

Jiao Niang had already guessed before, but she was not sure enough, looked at Ying Che, and guessed: "Prince?"

Ying Che took a look at her, she was not sure, she didn't deny it, Jiao Niang knew that she had guessed correctly, and at the same time realized the trickiness of this matter.

Originally, the prince and Ying Che were hostile, but if they investigated deeply, involving the prince, I was afraid that Ying Che's situation would be very dangerous.

Her hand couldn't help but tighten, Yingche noticed it, and stroked her back to show comfort, "It's okay, this king will protect you." ”

Jiao Niang looked at him wordlessly, and a little ripple appeared in her heart, as if there was an inexplicable feeling surging.

It's just that for a moment, she was suppressed again. Jiao Niang didn't say anything more, just nodded.

According to the previous life, Ying Che returned to Beijing safely, so although it was dangerous, it was fine, and Jiao Niang was so comforted.

The next day, before dawn, there was a knock on the door, and Ying Che was always alert and immediately opened his eyes. He watched the Jiao Niang in his arms also be woken up by a knock on the door, and first asked people to wait outside, and then got up when he coaxed the Jiao Niang to sleep.

"What's the matter?" Ying Che called the man to the study.

Dauntless was obviously in a state of running around all night, his hair was messy, and his eyes were dark, "Your Highness, Tan Haoran's entire family has been wiped out." ”

As soon as Ying Che's fingers touched the teacup, he suddenly stopped, and looked at Fearless in shock, "Really?"

Dauntless nodded, affirming, "A family of seventeen people, no one survived, not even his pregnant wife—" Dauntless really couldn't go on.

It wasn't an ordinary killer at all, it was more like a robber, killing, burning and looting, his wife was eight or nine months pregnant, and she was about to give birth, and her pants were also ripped off, and her lower body was full of blood.

Fearless clenched the knife hard, and said angrily: "It must have been sent by Zhang Yan to do it!"

Who else could he be, they had just met Tan Haoran on the front foot, and the whole family was wiped out on the back foot, and their whereabouts must have been discovered, so Tan Haoran's family would suffer this catastrophe.

Ying Che slammed his fist into the table, one corner of the table cracked, and the table top shifted to the right.

Wang Zhan was shocked, he rarely saw Ying Che so angry, and hurriedly said: "The prince is angry." ”

Ying Che glanced at him and said angrily: "Calm your anger? How do you let this king calm his anger? This Zhang Yan, he is killing chickens and making an example of monkeys." I want to warn this king that today he dares to kill a county order, and tomorrow he is not afraid to kill another prince!"

Wang Zhan was not shocked, and stumbled: "He-he doesn't dare, right?"

Ying Che snorted: "He has the support of the prince, why don't you dare?"

"Tai-prince?" Wang Zhan's face turned pale, he really didn't expect that the prince would be involved. Wang Zhan has always been cautious, and he has always disagreed with the rivalry between King Rui and the crown prince.

Even if the crown prince is incapable, he is a son-in-law, with the support of the Wei Chi family behind him, and the support of most of the courtiers, he is easily unshaken.

Now the saint is still there, and he has a lot of faith in the prince, so it's okay. But to put it mildly, when one day the saint is gone, can the prince let go of the prince who fought with him in the past?

But the prince has always been stubborn, and it is useless for him to say anything.

"Lord, according to the slave, the saint just sent the prince to verify the accounts, and we don't care about anything else. ”

Ying Che shot him coldly in the face, Wang Zhan shrank his neck in fright, and Ying Che asked, "Did Zhang Yan say when the banquet will be held?"

Wang Zhan said: "Three days later." ”

The corners of Ying Che's mouth curved upward, "Okay, then the king will be invited to a party, and after verifying the accounts in the next few days, we will return to Beijing." ”

Wang Zhan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, smiled lightly, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, the slave will go and prepare for returning to Beijing in a few days." ”

Ying Che waved him down, and when he left, he took out a blue-covered account book, which Tan Haoran handed to him when he met Tan Haoran before.

This is one of the real disaster relief accounts, a total of four, respectively by Chongyang Taishou Zhang Yan, Tong Ju Zheng Qian, Luchuan County Commander Xu Shihai and Wengcheng Zhizhou Xie Qizuo, all four of them are the prince's people, but in fact, no one believes anyone, including the prince.

In this way, each person keeps an account, just for one person to be the only one, to make false accounts from the middle, and also to facilitate reconciliation in the future.

And now the book in Yingche's hand is owned by the county order of Luchuan County, he and Tan Haoran are classmates and friends, and they have a close relationship, Xu Shihai has been disturbed in conscience since he participated in this matter, until a few months ago, he really couldn't escape the pressure of conscience condemnation and committed suicide.

And before he died, he handed over this account to Tan Haoran.
