"Ministry of Rites?" Zhen Shiyuan was stunned for a moment, looked up at her, and said, "The people from the Ministry of Rites went to the yamen of the Criminal Department?" ”

"yes!" Qiao Ran nodded and said, "When I went, there were already a lot of carriages at the gate of the Yamen of the Criminal Department, and I saw that the marks on the carriages seemed to be from the Ministry of Rites. ”

Zhen Shiyuan pondered for a while when he heard this, and said: "Xu is because this matter is related to Tubo and affects the alliance between the two countries, and it is not impossible for the Ministry of Rites to insist on getting involved. ”

"I know!" The girl hesitated and said, "I just think the Ministry of Rites seems to be too positive about this matter." ”

Zhen Shiyuan let out an "oh", and glanced at her with a subtle look in his eyes: "Don't think nonsense, there are far more discords between those yamen and yamen, and even between adults and individuals, than you think, maybe it's just to fight for a breath of leisure." ”

"I see." Qiao Ran let out an "oh" and said to Zhen Shiyuan, "Speaking of which, I did see people from the Criminal Department arguing with those adults from the Ministry of Rites for the sake of a small official of the Criminal Department......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard Zhen Shiyuan snort coldly, he put down the pen in his hand, hugged his arms, and squinted at her: "I know that you are uneasy and kind to say some nonsense for no reason, say it, who do you want to ask?" ”

Is it necessary to go around in circles with their friendship? Let's get straight to the point.

The girl pursed her lips and smiled, "It's a little official named Zhao Ruyi." ”

"Him!" Unexpectedly, as soon as the words came out, Zhen Shiyuan rolled his eyelids and blurted out, "I thought you were going to ask something amazing, it turned out to be Zhao Ruyi." ”

Qiao Ran smiled and asked him, "Is there anything wrong with this person?" ”

"Not really." Zhen Shiyuan said, "It's just that the criminal committed the crime." By the way, do you think this Zhao Ruyi looks a little strange from the appearance? ”

Qiao Ran was stunned, remembering Zhao Ruyi's pale and abnormal face that had not seen the sun for a long time, nodded, and said, "It's a little weird." ”

Zhen Shiyuan slurped, and said, "He has been tortured by the palace." ”

No wonder he always felt that Zhao Ruyi was a little feminine when he spoke, but Xu was not a palace punishment that he received at a young age or that he was not punished for a long time, so his voice was not as sharp and abnormal as that of ordinary palace people.

"Don't look at him now that he is just a small official, I think that the Zhao family was a good upstart in Chang'an City back then, but later he committed a crime, the mastermind was beheaded, and the heirs of the family were exiled, or Zhou Dong came out and wanted to keep him in the Criminal Department, I don't know what happened in between, you know that I haven't been back to Chang'an for many years." Zhen Shiyuan said, couldn't help sighing, looking at the girl in front of him, his heart was full of emotion, "I originally thought that I wouldn't have this opportunity in my life, so naturally I didn't pay much attention to it." ”

I only know that in the end, Zhao Ruyi was tortured by the palace, and then he was left in the criminal department as a small official, obviously he is a small official in the criminal department who is doing very well, and now he has taken off his status as a lowly and entered the official body, which is obviously much better than his family members who were exiled and beheaded.

When Qiao Ran heard this, she couldn't help but be curious: "Then what did his family commit that made such a serious crime?" ”

Originally, it was just a casual question, but unexpectedly, Zhen Shiyuan's expression suddenly became solemn, and after a while, he said lightly: "It's just a scapegoat pushed out." ”

Looking at Zhen Shiyuan's expression, he was obviously not ready to elaborate on this matter. Qiao Ran snorted and didn't continue to ask.

"I saw that there was an adult who seemed to have been targeting that Zhao Ruyi," the girl thought for a while and said, "That adult is not only not young, but also has a high position, why should he put down his body to target such a small official?" ”

Zhen Shiyuan said: "You said the adults of the Ministry of Rites...... Uh, is that adult's surname Zhu? ”

Qiao Ran nodded and said, "Yes, it's surnamed Zhu." ”

Zhen Shiyuan snorted softly when he heard this: "The only daughter surnamed Zhu had a marriage contract with this Zhao Ruyi back then, and the Zhao family was imprisoned, and His Majesty had not yet decided, so he hurriedly dissolved the marriage contract and wanted to draw a line with the Zhao family." ”

Qiao Ran couldn't help but be shocked when she heard this, and said, "Although this practice is human nature, it is too powerful!" In this case, how can this Lord Zhu be embarrassed to embarrass Zhao Ruyi? ”

"What kind of good person are you when you are Zhao Ruyi?" Zhen Shiyuan sneered, and then said, "The surname Zhu is unjust, and Zhao Ruyi is not a good person. After being punished by the palace and left in the criminal department, one day, Miss Zhu, who had a marriage contract with him back then, went to the outside of the city, but met a gangster and was drugged, although he escaped desperately, he was a little delirious," Speaking of this, Zhen Shiyuan raised his eyebrows at her and said, "It is the medicine used to control the prostitutes who refuse to take soft in the Qinglou, you know." ”

Qiao Ran grabbed a handful of pine nuts from the plate on the table and asked, "And then?" ”

"Then the drugged Miss Zhu behaved very boldly, and many people saw it and avoided it." Zhen Shiyuan sighed as he spoke, and said, "Of course, maybe some people don't want to avoid it, but in front of everyone, they always want to be faced." ”

You don't see that the so-called well-dressed beasts are all human-like in front of people.

"In the end, this Miss Zhu ran into Zhao Ruyi, I heard that many people saw Zhao Ruyi resisting desperately, but I didn't expect that it was still not as good as Miss Zhu who took medicine." Zhen Shiyuan coughed twice and said, "Don't you think it's incredible?" ”

Qiao Ran ate pine nuts for a moment, and couldn't help nodding: "Yes, I thought you said the opposite of Miss Zhu and Zhao Ruyi, and this Zhao Ruyi was punished by the palace, what can you do to Miss Zhu?" ”

Zhen Shiyuan's expression became more and more subtle, and he glanced at her, his expression was slightly embarrassed: "There are also eunuchs in the previous dynasty who married wives in high positions, there are other ways...... This, you don't know much, in short, Miss Zhu is gone. ”

Qiao Ran said: "First there is Yu Shihuan and that Yingge whipping or something, and then there are other ways for Zhao Ruyi and that Miss Zhu, you Chang'an magnates are quite good at playing." ”

Zhen Shiyuan did not forget to explain: "Most people are also not big, just a few black sheep." ”

"Then since such a big thing has happened, after Zhao Ruyi is a criminal again, how can Lord Zhu let him go?" Qiao Ran was puzzled, and then asked, "Don't talk about it, this matter of ruining Miss Zhu's innocence will be sent to the yamen!" ”

Zhen Shiyuan said: "There are many people who saw that it was this Miss Zhu who took the initiative, and Zhao Ruyi had only been punished by the palace at that time, and it was difficult to even walk, everyone felt that Zhao Ruyi was the one who was bullied." ”

This point depends on the fact that Xiaohua came to Dali Temple before, and he Dali Temple officials avoided it. Some men, such as their Dali Temple, are also very reserved, and naturally they will be bullied by women.

"Although I was not in the capital at the time, I heard that there was a lot of trouble, and the Speculation Hall even set up a ring for a few days, which triggered a debate that men are forced or not, and women are forced to be forced."

Qiao Ran was silent for a moment and said, "Speculation Hall...... Yes...... Times. ”

"In short, this matter is very troublesome, and there is proof of Zhao Ruyi's physical disability, which proves that he can't break free from Miss Zhu, as for Miss Zhu's murder, it is the relationship between those gangsters, naturally it has nothing to do with Zhao Ruyi, and he is also a victim of the whole thing." Zhen Shi said from afar, "So even if Lord Zhu doesn't want to let him go, he has to let him go." ”

"And I heard that Miss Zhu already had a new marriage contract when the accident happened, and the new fiancé's family background is also first-class and outstanding, for Lord Zhu, it is a golden beetle son-in-law. When such a thing happens, which golden beetle son-in-law is willing to be a green turtle? Moreover, everyone saw Miss Zhu's arrogance that day, although they knew that it was because of the drug, but in private, there were still many people who said that Miss Zhu was such a temperament, and they even turned out the previous divorce of the Zhu family. In short, the reputation of the Zhu family was stinky for a while, and it couldn't stink anymore. Zhen Shiyuan sighed with emotion, this can be regarded as retribution.

"I didn't want to have anything to do with the Zhao family, but now I have a relationship." Qiao Ran rubbed her chin and said while eating pine nuts, "It's okay if the two of them are really in love, but seeing that Miss Zhu has a new fiancé so soon, I'm afraid this love is the same as nothing." And at this time, Zhao Ruyi is not a complete man, will Lord Zhu marry Miss Zhu to Zhao Ruyi? ”

Zhen Shiyuan said: "Naturally not." Not long after, Miss Zhu 'died of illness', and it was rumored that she was forced to say that she was afraid of disgrace for her parents, so she committed suicide. In short, on the second day of 'death', this Miss Zhu went out of the funeral, and after that, the Zhu family did not mention the matter again, and everyone quickly put this matter behind. ”

After all, the new things in Chang'an City are always one after another, and no matter how bizarre things are, they have been lively for a while, and not many people mention them anymore.

"One of these two parties is unkind and the other is unjust, and they are not good people." Zhen Shiyuan did not forget to tell her after summing up, "You stay away from these two people." ”

Qiao Ran nodded, ate a few pine nuts, and asked Zhen Shiyuan, who was sitting in a chair with his arms folded in a daze: "Lord Zhen, what are you doing?" ”

Zhen Shiyuan glanced at her and said, "There is no progress in the matter at hand, so there is nothing to do." ”

"The case in which Xie Yi was involved...... Didn't you find any suspicious people there? And the family of the little guy who died suddenly has not received any news? Qiao Ran asked.

Zhen Shiyuan shook his head: "No!" ”

Therefore, there is nothing to do, so I can help in the next few days, and then help ...... helped her close the case, and when Zhen Shiyuan thought about it, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Qiao Ran was silent: Maybe this is luck!

When the file was turned to the next value, Qiao Ran got up and walked out.

The sky outside the door was dim, and the rain still did not stop, Qiao Ran held an umbrella and went out of the yamen with Tang Zhongyuan one after the other.

Because they brought a pack of walnut crisp back, they were welcomed by Pei Qingqing unprecedentedly, and the little girl was excited, and after hearing that the canteen of Dali Temple had received the "Nanji Shop", the excitement reached its peak.

A little bit of food is so happy! Hongdou hummed two sentences of "It's really useless" and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner, Tang Zhongyuan stood in place for a while, and followed to the kitchen.

Qiao Ran glanced at Tang Zhongyuan, who was following, and couldn't help but smile.

Pei Qingqing, who was happily grabbing walnut crisp to eat, saw this and hurriedly asked, "Miss Qiao, what are you laughing at?" ”

"It's nothing, just smile." Qiao Ran reached out and rubbed the small ball above her head, sat on the small stool next to the round table, and watched the rain outside.

After eating quietly for a while, Pei Qingqing blinked, looked at Qiao Ran, and asked, "Miss Qiao, are you thinking about things?" What do you think? Zhang Jie? ”

He asked...... Qiao Ran only felt a choke in her throat, paused, and said, "I was thinking that we can go to Xie's house to visit Xie Chengze tomorrow." ”

"It turned out that it wasn't Zhang Xie who was thinking, it was Xie Chengze." The little girl frowned, indicating that it was wrong for her to do this, "Half-heartedness is not good, you are responsible for our Zhang Jie." ”

There is already a Li Zhao who doesn't know when he will come out, how can there be another Xie Chengze?

"Miss Qiao, of course you have to choose the best husband when you choose a husband, our Zhang Xie official position is the largest, and the position is the same as the third grade!" Pei Qingqing chattered.

Although the promotion of the Heavenly Master is not the same as the promotion of officialdom, the position is there, the third-grade Heavenly Master is the third-grade, and those third-grade officials in the officialdom are not all the same age as that Lord Zhen? I'm almost ready to be Miss Qiao's father. When these two people become famous, they will marry Miss Qiao, and Miss Qiao will become an old girl, how can this work?

"Also, our family Zhang Xie doesn't have any other messy relatives, needless to say about the Li family, and the Xie family has a lot of them! Zhang Xie only has one relative, I like you, and I won't bully you like those people in the book. Pei Qingqing said while eating.

Qiao Ran, who heard the story in the book from nowhere, couldn't laugh or cry, and said busily: "I'm not thinking about this. ”

I don't know why Pei Qingqing is always worried about her and Zhang Xie at a young age.

"What I think is that when we go to Xie's house to visit Xie Chengze tomorrow, don't forget to bring gifts." Qiao Ran touched her little head and reminded her, "Don't forget your gift." ”

Pei Qingqing nodded hurriedly, but her eyes rolled, and she suddenly said, "Let Zhang Xie go with him!" ”

The Xie family's dim sum is also very delicious, she will be busy eating dim sum at that time, and she is optimistic about the future daughter-in-law's heavy responsibility or let Zhang Xie complete it herself.

Qiao Ran responded with a hello, and then said: "Then go to the Heavenly Master Dao early tomorrow morning to find Zhang Jie, and the yamen will not go." ”

"Miss Qiao is not going to the yamen?" Tang Zhongyuan, who walked in with a plate of fish, heard this sentence and asked hurriedly.

"No, you can help me take a leave." Qiao Ran said, "We're going out to visit people tomorrow. ”

"Are you going to read the book of Qiao?" Tang Zhongyuan asked casually.

Qiao Ran shook her head: "No, I went to see Xie Chengze." ”

Tang Zhongyuan sighed, he didn't have a deep friendship with Lord Xiao Xie, so naturally there was no need to go. Putting the fish on the table, Tang Zhongyuan turned around and went out to the kitchen to serve food, and at this moment, a thunder outside tore through the sky, and the thunder rolled in.

At this moment, a picture flashed in front of his eyes.

When he was in Jinling, it was also such a rainy day, he saw Qiao Shu wearing a middle coat and running to find Miss Qiao, thin and small, and he had already run away after coming to the capital for less than a year.

Looking at these half-grown children, he always gave birth to a feeling that he was "old", and shook his head with emotion, but Tang Zhongyuan's feet suddenly froze, and then he turned his head and asked Qiao Ran: "Miss Qiao, have you seen Qiao Shu taking a bath?" ”

What the? The two people in the room were dumbfounded, and the screams of red beans also sounded at this time: "Tang Zhongyuan, what do you want to do?" ”
