Chapter 163: Dali Temple Investigates the Case
Qi Yan's carriage stopped smoothly at the door of the Yuanhong Book Bureau.
She stepped out of the car, and the little full moon followed.
The master and servant walked into the bookstore, and as soon as they entered, Xiao Lin walked over with a serious expression: "Boss, you are finally here!" ”
"Is something wrong?" Qi Yan saw that his expression was not the same as before, and asked.
"The official has come to search for books." Kobayashi replied.
"Searching for books?" Qi Yan said.
Xiao Lin nodded: "The person is inside."
When Qi Yan heard this, he walked into his bookstore, but there were many officers and soldiers in the store, looking through the shelves.
Officers and men cannot be expected to cherish books like talented scholars, and one book after another is flipped over, spread out on the ground, and everywhere.
Seeing this, Qi Yan couldn't help frowning, but her face did not show displeasure, she looked at an official and soldier standing on the side.
At first glance, the man was the leader of this group of officers and soldiers.
Zhou Bin stood beside the man, saw Qi Yan coming, and said to Qi Yan: "Boss, you are here, let me introduce you, this is Lord Yang of Dali Temple." ”
"Hello Lord Yang." Qi Yan walked over.
"You're the boss of Far Red Books?" That Lord Yang looked at Qi Yan.
Qi Yan smiled, the other party was looking at her, and she was also looking at the other party.
This Lord Yang is about thirty years old, has two mustaches, and looks kind.
"Hello Lord Yang." Qi Yan saluted and asked with a smile, "I don't know what's wrong with my bookstore?" Thank you for being so excited. ”
"Someone reported that there are banned books in your bookstore." Lord Yang spread his hands and said, "I was also ordered to search. If so, you'll have to go with me to the yamen, but if not...... Everyone was happy. ”
"What forbidden books?" Qi Yan said, and couldn't help but look at Zhou Bin.
Zhou Bin told her about the spring palace map before.
Zhou Bin coughed and looked at Lord Yang, and said, "Lord Yang, you haven't said that you came to check the banned books, what kind of forbidden books are they?" ”
"Didn't I say it all along?" Lord Yang asked in surprise.
Zhou Bin: "You didn't say ......"
"Oh, that's what I forgot." I saw Lord Yang pat his head and say, "That book is called "Dragon Blood Hate"......"
As he spoke, he looked at Qi Yan with a calm gaze: "Boss Qi, do you know this book?" ”
Qi Yan's face did not change: "I have heard of "Dragon Blood Hate", but I don't have any "Dragon Blood Hate" ...... here."
When the words fell, only one officer and soldier were heard shouting loudly.
"Found it! My lord, I found it! ”
Qi Yan: "......"
"Bring it!" Lord Yang waved his hand, and the officer and soldier hurriedly handed a book to Lord Yang's hand. 、
I saw a half-new and not old "Dragon Whisker Hate" appear in front of everyone, and Lord Yang flipped through it casually and closed the book.
"It's a banned book, that's right." As he spoke, he looked at Qi Yan, "Boss Qi, you're going to come with me." ”
"No way!" Qi Yan didn't speak yet, but the full moon opened his mouth, and the little maid blocked in front of Qi Yan, "Someone must have framed our young lady!" Okay, what are we doing with banned books in the store! ”
"That's up to Boss Qi." Lord Yang looked at Qi Yan, "Boss Qi, come with me." ”
Qi Yan thought about it slightly, and didn't know what he thought, so he nodded painfully.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Seeing her so cooperative, Lord Yang was in a good mood, and he didn't use shackles on her, so he took Qi Yan away.
"Young lady!" Full Moon watched Qi Yan being taken away, and jumped to her feet in a hurry.
Qi Yan was very calm and said: "The clear person is self-purifying, I will be fine, rest assured." ”
…………
…………
Where can I rest assured of a full moon?! The forbidden book was found in their bookstore, and Qi Yan was taken away by Dali Temple......
"What should I do?" Xiao Lin spun around in place, "Otherwise, I'll go talk to Boss Ran!" Let's see if he can do it?!!
"Go ahead!" Full Moon also hurried out, "I'm going to find someone too!" ”
Xiao Lin not only stopped, but asked, "Who are you going to?" ”
"The one who can save my young lady!"
…………
…………
At this time, Qi Yan didn't know that her maid was already anxious, but she was fine, and walked beside Lord Yang unhurriedly.
Although Dali Temple did not tie her hands and feet with iron chains to Qi Yan, it was impossible for her to swagger down the street.
The two escorted Qi Yan's arms and buckled behind them.
Qi Yan did not have the consciousness of being "taken down" at all, and faced the people who were talking, did not squint, and walked frankly.
"Wait!" At this time, two people dressed as scholars walked in front of him, and when they saw Qi Yan like this, they not only stopped Lord Yang.
"Young Master Luo?" Lord Yang recognized the person who was in the way.
It was Luo Zai, and he was followed by Xie Yiyi.
"Lord Yang......" Luo Zai looked at the escorted Qi Yan behind Lord Yang and asked, "What's going on?" ”
"Do you know Boss Qi?" Lord Yang asked rhetorically.
"Acquaintance." Luo Zai said, "She is a good friend of mine. ”
Lord Yang said, "Then do you know about her private collection of forbidden books?" ”
"Forbidden books?" Luo Zai was stunned for a moment, and his eyes widened: "You mean "Dragon Blood Hate"!" ”
"Yes." Lord Yang said, "How do you know that the book is "Dragon Blood Hate"? ”
"I ......"
"Now when it comes to banned books, apart from "Dragon Blood Hate", what else can make Dali Temple dispatch?" Xie Yiyi suddenly interrupted Luo Zai and spoke.
Luo Zai was dumbfounded and speechless for a long time.
Lord Yang looked at Luo Zai and said, "I still have business to do, so I won't tell you more." ”
After speaking, he glanced at the officers and soldiers under his command and left with a group of people.
"Wait!" Luo Zai came back to his senses, "This matter has nothing to do with Qi Yan!" This thing ......"
Luo Zai said, walked in front of Lord Yang, stretched out his hands, and looked, "You catch me".
"This is ......," Lord Yang was puzzled.
Mo said that Lord Yang was puzzled, and even Qi Yan was confused.
"I put the "Dragon Whisker Hate" in Qiyan's store into it!" Luo Zai said.
A word startled a thousand waves, and Lord Yang looked at Luo Zai in shock: "What did you say?" ”
"You let Qi Yan go." Luo Zai said, "I put the book. ”
Qi Yan couldn't help but interject and asked, "When did you put it?" ”
"It's that day......" Luo Zai said, "Anyway, you don't know! ”
Qi Yan: "......"
"Let Qi Yan go." Luo Zai said to Lord Yang, "This matter has nothing to do with her. ”
Lord Yang touched his beard and said, "It doesn't matter, it's not you who have the final say, it's not me who has the final say, let's go, come back to the yamen with me, Dali Temple will find out about this matter." ”
Luo Zai was a little anxious: "I admit it all, have you said it all, it has nothing to do with Qi Yan...... You let people go! ”
"I also said it, I don't count if I say it, and it doesn't count if you say it." Lord Yang waved his hand at the officers and soldiers, and immediately the two of them took down Luo Zai.
So, Qi Yan and Luo Zai entered Dali Temple together.
…………
…………
"I'm sorry to bother you." Luo Zai said to Qi Yan.
Qi Yan was escorted side by side with him, she turned her head to look at Luo Zai, and couldn't help asking, "When did you put the book in the bookstore?" ”
"It's the day after the fire, I'll go to the store to take a look,......" Luo Zai said, very ashamed, "I blame me, where did I put it, do you still remember that day I invited you to dinner and said that I had something to tell you?" ”
Qi Yan nodded.
When I went to dinner that day, I also met Liang Wenxuan and Zhou Yanqing. also because he met Liang Wenxuan, Luo Zai only cared about being angry with Liang Wenxuan and forgot to talk about things.
"What I want to tell you is this, I originally asked you to hide the book, but as a result, I forgot about it......"
Qi Yan: "......"
How big Luo Gongzi is with a big heart, he can even forget this matter.
"Hey......" Luo Zai said, "I'm sorry, Qi Yan, I've bothered you." ”
"I'm nothing." Qi Yan said, "Just don't mess with the bookstore's business." ”
"It's going to be fine!" Luo Zai said, "I do things alone, and I do it alone!" Absolutely you won't have anything to do with the bookstore! ”
Qi Yan sighed.
…………
…………
After Luo Zai and Qi Yan were brought into Dali Temple, Dali Temple immediately began to review the case, and a copy of "Dragon Blood Hate" made Dali Temple pay so much attention to it, which was unexpected by Luo Zai.
He thought it was just a book, and at most he would be fined a few dollars, and he would be in a cell for a few more days, and the result was ......
Things seemed to be more serious than he thought.
As soon as they arrived at Dali Temple, he and Qi Yan were taken to different rooms for interrogation.
Lord Yang was only the one in charge of arresting him, and the person who interrogated him was another person.
This person is Lord Shaoqing of Dali Temple, called Ren Yuanyang, Ren Shaoqing's age is similar to Luo Zaiqiyan, and his handsome face seems to be frozen by the wind and snow, without the slightest expression.
Luo Zai has always been very arrogant, and after being asked a few questions by Ren Shaoqing in a row, he finally couldn't hold on.
However, he still insisted: "This matter has nothing to do with Qi Yan......
"She's the owner of the bookstore, and you hid the book in her bookstore, you dare to say that this has nothing to do with her?"
Luo Zai was about to vomit when asked, this Ren Shaoqing, I don't know what's going on, a question, can go back and forth, and ask it one hundred and eighty times!
Luo Zai entered Dali Temple, didn't drink a sip of water, and answered the question for an hour in a daze, and now his throat is about to smoke.
"It really has nothing to do with her." Luo Zai leaned on the table, "I've said it 10,000 times......"
"Sit up straight!" Ren Shaoqing said, turning the whip in his hand.
Luo Zai was speechless, so he could only straighten his waist again, and scolded Ren Yuanyang in his heart.
This young lady has quirks!
The board he made was straight and straight, and no one else was allowed to hunch over his chest, and if he dared to bend over and hunchback, he would whip it over! Make sure your waist is straight and loose!
Luo Zai is admitted.
I could only sit up numb and say over and over again, "That day, I picked up this book at the gate of the academy...... I heard that it was a banned book, and I wanted to see why it was banned, and well, I knew I shouldn't have so much curiosity, but I just opened it...... And then half watched! I don't know what's forbidden...... Isn't it just ordinary martial arts? ”
Luo Zai still doesn't know what is forbidden in this book.
"I didn't finish it." Luo Zai pursed his lips and said dryly, "So, I took the book to the Yuanhong Book Bureau, I thought about reading the content behind, and I processed the book after reading it!" Results ......"
Luo Zai licked his dry flaky lips: "As a result, I forgot about it......"
Ren Shaoqing: "How could you forget?" ”
"But I just forgot!" Luo Zai was also speechless, "I met Liang Wenxuan that day, and he was angry with me, so I forgot about this family......
Luo Zai's throat was almost smoking, and he said hoarsely: "In short, this matter has nothing to do with Qi Yan, she doesn't know anything, you let her go." ”
"As far as we know, this shop is not only hers, but also a small portion of yours, right?"
Luo Zai nodded numbly: "Yes, it's my part, but I haven't asked much, it's all Qi Yan who is running it." ”
"Why did you open a store with her?" Ren Shaoqing asked again.
Luo Zai: "Can you let me drink saliva and ask again?" ”
"I can't." Ren Shaoqing refused very simply.
Luo Zai: "......"
"Answer." Ren Shaoqing said, and moved the whip in his hand again.
Luo Zai swallowed his dry throat, as if he had swallowed a mouthful of yellow sand, "Okay, I said...... I didn't want to open a store with Qi Yan at the beginning, you can also see, she is a woman! How can there be a girl in Beijing who does business...... However, she was extra insistent that I was not short of that money, and in the end, in short, I gave some money, but most of the shops were all Qiyan, and I was only a small part...... Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with her, and it's not easy for her to do business, so you let her go......"
Ren Shaoqing's face was expressionless: "Qi Yan is the owner of the store, there is an extra banned book in the store, will she not know?" ”
Luo Zai inhaled and inhaled again, suppressing the anger that was rising from his rubbing: "I secretly put the book, where did Qi Yan know?" ”
"You also said that this is her bookstore!" Ren Shaoqing insisted.
"Is there something wrong with you?" Luo Zai was really angry, "I'll tell you! I've put up with you for a long time! I've said it 10,000 times, and this matter has nothing to do with Qi Yan! Are you deaf! ”
If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to clear up Qi Yan's relationship, Luo Zai would have been angry a long time ago! He endured it again and again, answering the questions in every detail, but he honestly confessed, and he still held on to Qi Yan over there!
Where can Luo Zai's temper be endured, and he slapped the table fiercely: "The surname is Ren!" Something is coming at Lao Tzu! Lao Tzu does things by himself! You're fucking less involved in innocent people! ”
Ren Shaoqing looked at Luo Zai in front of him, and his expression still did not change.
"Sit down." As he spoke, his voice unchanged as before.
Most of Luo Zai's anger was extinguished at that time, not because he was afraid of Ren Shaoqing, but because he was bored.
Luo Zai is a person who is strong when he is strong, and you are even more horizontal to him! If you are lukewarm, not meat or vegetarian, he will not be able to get angry, just like a quarrel meets a mute, and a fight hits cotton......
And Ren Shaoqing is the dumb man, the ball of cotton.
"You said Qi Yan is okay, how can I trust you?"
"How do I know how you want to believe me......" Luo Zai sat down with a broken face, "I have said everything I should say!" I don't know, how are you going to trust me...... Isn't that your thing? ”
Luo Zai broke the jar and broke it: "It doesn't matter if you believe it, or if I don't believe it, anyway, I'm telling the truth...... You hurriedly let Qi Yan go. ”
Ren Shaoqing stopped talking, stared at Luo Zai for a while, and stood up.
"Where are you going?" Seeing this, Luo Zai hurriedly got up and asked.
"Sit down." Ren Yuanyang turned around and said coldly.
"You're going to judge Qi Yan, right?" Luo Zai didn't sit down, and asked a step forward, "Qi Yan is a girl!" You can't torture her like you torture me! This has nothing to do with her! She's innocent......"
Ren Shaoqing couldn't hear the latter words clearly, because he had already walked out of the room.
…………
…………
Qi Yan's room was not far from Luo Zai.
This room, at first glance, is used for interrogating prisoners, cramped and depressing.
Qi Yan sat on the chair inside, but she was not frightened by this room, she looked around, looked at the simple furnishings in the room, and did not let go of the walls.
No way, she's so boring.
After coming to Dali Temple, Lord Yang brought her into this room and left.
After that, no one came back.
Qi Yan stayed for more than an hour, and it was really boring to not find something to do.
"Squeak......" The sound of pushing the door interrupted Qi Yan's distraction.
When I looked up, it was a thin official standing in the doorway.
The sunlight just shone into the room, and the man stood in the backlight, unable to see his face clearly, but his voice was very good, although there were no ups and downs, but his voice was clear and clean: "Qi Yan? ”
"It's me." Qi Yan stood up.
"You can go." Ren Yuanyang said.
"What?" Qi Yan was stunned.
"Let's go." Ren Yuanyang said, turned sideways, and signaled that Qi Yan could leave.
Qi Yan stood up and walked to the door, she finally saw Ren Yuanyang's face clearly, and for some reason, an indescribable sense of familiarity flashed by.
"Walk slowly." Ren Yuanyang was very polite to Qi Yan.
"Your Excellency." Qi Yan stood beside him, frowned, and said suspiciously, "We, have we seen ......?"
"I haven't seen you." Ren Yuanyang replied expressionlessly.
Qi Yan felt even more that he had seen him somewhere. I just can't remember it for a while......
Or, has it been seen in a previous life?
Qi Yan wondered in her heart, if she had really seen it in her previous life, she would not be impressed......
"Let's go." After Ren Yuanyang finished speaking, he took the lead and asked a messenger to send Qi Yan out of Dali Temple.
"My lord, please stay!" Qi Yan caught up with Ren Yuanyang.
Ren Yuanyang looked back at her: "Anything else?" ”
Qi Yan said: "I can go, then...... What about Luo Gongzi? ”
"Luo Zai?"
"Yes!" Qi Yan nodded, "Is he okay?" ”
"It's none of your business." After Ren Yuanyang finished speaking, he left without looking back.
Qi Yan looked at the other party's back, and felt even more familiar.
…………
…………
When Qi Yan walked out of the marble, the full moon was waiting for her at the gate of Dali Temple.
"Young lady, you're finally out!" Full Moon hurriedly greeted him, pulling Qi Yan to look up and down, left and right, "Are you okay?" How about their backs to you, right? ”
The little maid was very nervous.
Qi Yan comforted her and said, "I'm fine." ”
"Are you really okay?"
"It's really fine." Qi Yan said, looking at the Dali Temple behind him, "I just don't know what will happen to Luo Gongzi......"
"I saw Gongzi Xie and that Gongzi Liang, they took one of them into Dali Temple." Full Moon said, "With them, I believe that Luo Gongzi will be fine." ”
"Xie Yiyi and Liang Wenxuan went in?" Qi Yan asked.
"Yes! I saw it with my own eyes. Full Moon said, "The person they brought looks like a lot of style, and the Dali Temple Yacha can respect each other!" ”
"Really?" Qi Yan wondered in his heart, who Xie Yiyi invited with Liang Wenxuan.
"But ......," Qi Yan said, "If Liang Wenxuan helps, Luo Zai will be fine." ”
"Then the young lady, don't worry about Master Luo." Full Moon Road.
"But......" Qi Yan looked at the full moon, "how did you know I would come out?" ”
"I don't know." Full Moon paused and said, "I don't have any more hair, so I can only wait here and see if I can find a chance to go in...... As a result, before I could go in, the young lady came out! The young lady is the auspicious person! ”
Qi Yan raised his hand and rubbed her head.
"Young lady, let's go." Full Moon said.
"There's no hurry." Qi Yan said, "Wait a little longer. ”
"What are you waiting for?"
"Let's see if Luo Zai can be released."
…………
…………
Qi Yan waited from noon to afternoon, and didn't wait to come out, but saw Xie Yiyi and Liang Wenxuan coming out, as well as ...... The two of them followed by a man in a brocade robe.
Seeing that person, Qi Yan froze in place for a moment, and for a while it seemed like going back in time, and she returned to her previous life.
…………
…………
Qi Yan remembered clearly who handed her the knife when she was bent on revenge on the Xie family.
The Sixth Prince, Xiao Cheng!
He kept Qi Yan, who was dressed as a man, by his side, and at that time, the Xie family had one less crazy young lady, and Yu Jing had one more Qi Zhangshi with clear eyebrows.
He is a celebrity around the Six Princes, and everyone doesn't know what he does specifically, only that the Six Princes like to take him with them.
Qi Yan is the one who is in charge, others don't know what she does, she knows best.
Money laundering, bookkeeping......
The things she has been doing for the six princes are these shady things. also because of the power of the six princes, she suppressed the Zhifeng Ye Mao Xie family.
But in the end, she was still handed over by the six princes as a bargaining chip.
…………
…………
Qi Yan never thought that he would see Xiao Cheng again.
In this life, she learned the lessons of her previous life and didn't want to seek skin with the tiger again, so naturally she never thought that she would face Xiao Cheng so one day and was caught off guard.
"Qi Yan?" When Xie Yiyi saw Qi Yan, he couldn't help but step forward, "Why are you here?" ”
Qi Yan looked tight, and his expression looked the same as usual: "I'm waiting for you here." ”
"Wait for us?"
Qi Yan said: "The full moon said, you went in with Liang Gongzi, I think, you went to see Luo Zai." How is he? ”
Xie Yiyi raised his forehead: "I can eat and sleep, but now I am sleeping." ”
Qi Yan couldn't help but laugh.
Xie Yiyi said: "Don't worry, although he will learn some lessons, he will not be imprisoned." ”
"That's good." Qi Yan said, not only looking at Xiao Cheng.
He is the same as in his previous life, he is not very old, he is not tall, and he still has a youthful atmosphere on his bright and beautiful little face, smiling like a spring breeze.
"I forgot to introduce you." Xie Yiyi looked at the young man beside him, and said to Qi Yan, "This is Xiao Cheng." ”
Qi Yan saw that Xie Yiyi didn't tell Xiao Cheng's identity, and he pretended not to know: "Xiao Gongzi." ”
"Sister Qi." Xiao Cheng squinted and smiled, looking innocent and harmless, "Hello." ”
"Hello." Qi Yan bowed slightly, if it weren't for the ruthlessness of the six princes in his previous life, Qi Yan would probably have been deceived by the sunny young man in front of him.
"Luo Zai is fine, I'm relieved." Qi Yan said, "That's okay, I'll leave first." ”
"Wait a minute." Xie Yiyi shouted to Qi Yan.
"Is there anything else?" Qi Yan asked.
"Actually, it's fine." Xie Yiyi smiled helplessly and said, "It's Luo Zai, he asked me to help him apologize to you." Say, this matter implicates you, and he is sorry. ”
"It's okay." Qi Yan said, "Anyway, I'm fine, and the bookstore is fine, you let Luo Zai relax." ”
"Okay." Xie Yiyi said with a smile.
Qi Yan waved at her, said goodbye and left.
…………
…………
Qi Yan left Dali Temple and returned to Yuanhong Bookstore.
"Boss! You're back?! When Xiao Lin saw Qi Yan, he hurriedly walked out, "Great! Boss Ran, that's right! You'll be fine! ”
Qi Yan paused: "Boss Ran? ”
"yes!" Kobayashi said, "As soon as you are taken away! I'm going to inform Boss Ran! At that time, Boss Ran was also very anxious, and immediately went out to find someone to help you! However, later, Boss Ran came back after a while and said let me rest assured, you will be fine. ”
"How did he know?" Qi Yan asked rhetorically.
"I don't know." Xiao Lin scratched the back of his head and said, "Anyway, Boss Ran reassured me and said, you will definitely come back!" ”
Qi Yan heard what he said, thoughtfully.
Zhou Bin walked out at this time and said, "Anyway, the boss is fine." ”
"Yes! Oh, yes! Full Moon followed and said, "The young lady is fine!" We're all happy! ”
Qi Yan bowed: "Okay, everyone is busy." ”
"Yes! Kindness! ”
…………
…………
After staying in the bookstore for a long time, the sun set, and Qi Yan returned to Xie Mansion with the full moon.
"It's a really tiring day...... I'm finally back......" Little Full Moon stood at the door of Xie Mansion and let out a long sigh.
Qi Yan looked at the little girl who sighed for a long time and couldn't help laughing.
I'm really tired today, I was found by Xie Xianxian in the morning, and I went to the bookstore and Dali Temple to check the banned books...... At the end of the day, it really makes people sigh for a long time.
"Young lady, let's go in." Full Moon said and helped Qi Yan get out of the carriage.
"Okay." Qi Yan bowed his head.
The two walked into the Xie Mansion and were about to go to Lingchun Courtyard to rest.
Unexpectedly, someone blocked Qi Yan's way with a big sting.
"Young lady, are you back?" The person who blocked Qi Yan was not a bystander, but the mother-in-law who was waiting by Xie Xianxian's side.
It seems to be surnamed Cao......
This Mrs. Cao had been serving by Mrs. Xie's side before, and she had a very good relationship with Aunt Liu.
When Mrs. Xie left Xie's mansion, she took Aunt Liu away, but left this Cao Pozi to Xie Xianxian.
