Xiao Shaobei took Duan Wuflaw to the study.

He still had a lot of injuries on his body and looked like he was in a mess, but he didn't care and didn't mind.

"What are you asking me to do for you?" Duan Wufang asked.

Xiao Shaobei picked up the pen and paper and said to Duan Wufang: "Help me bring a letter to Ji Yanning, tonight's incident will definitely not be hidden from her, I'm afraid she will worry." ”

He had a fight with Yan Zheng, and he was afraid that the Imperial Inspectorate would get up in the middle of the night to write a recital to impeach them, not to mention that the patrol battalion and others would be watching him in secret.

If he sent someone out to deliver the letter at this time, he was afraid that Ji Yanning would be exposed.

Ji Yanning's status is not high, and Liufu does not have much prestige, and under the power of Yanfu, she naturally can't protect her.

When Duan Wufang heard Xiao Shaobei's words, he was angry: "You still have the heart to care about Ji Yanning's worries about you! You still want to think about your own situation!"

Xiao Shaobei said: "I have already thought very clearly. What's more, it's not me who doesn't take advantage of this matter, and it's supposed to be a sign of how to explain it. ”

Duan Wufang knew where Xiao Shaobei could listen to his words now, he was silent, and did not get angry with him anymore, but walked forward, intending to see what Xiao Shaobei wrote.

Xiao Shaobei was just about to pick up the pen when he found Duan Wuflaw standing beside him, his hand paused, and he turned his head to look at Duan Wuflaw.

"What, I can't see it?" Duan raised his eyebrows flawlessly.

Xiao Shaobei said: "Private matters." ”

Duan Wufeng snorted coldly: "Then you still let me send the letter, so you are not afraid that I will peek?"

Xiao Shaobei said: "I can trust you as a person." ”

Duan Wufang was almost angry with him: "If you really trust me, you won't hide so many things from me! It's just because you have no choice now!"

He regarded Xiao Shaobei as a brother, but since the death of the old marquis, Xiao Shaobei was wary of him everywhere as if he had changed into a different person.

A brother for so many years is no better than Ji Yanning who has only known each other for a few months!

Xiao Shaobei said: "There are some things that I can't involve you. ”

He was well aware of his current situation, but he was alone and had nothing to fear.

Duan Wufang is different, he has a great future, and he can't affect his career because of these things.

"You already knew that the death of the old marquis had something to do with the emperor?" Duan Wufang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Xiao Shaobei.

Xiao Shaobei wanted to ask him how he knew, but after thinking about it, Duan Wufeng was the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and this case was taken over by Dali Temple, so he naturally received the order from above.

He smiled bitterly and said, "yes, how could you not know?"

The emperor wanted to exterminate the Dingbei Hou Mansion, and his father knew it for a long time, but he hid for so many years, and finally fell into the emperor's calculations.

Duan Wufang's eyes moved, and he stopped talking.

"Are you planning to fight against the emperor?" Duan Wufang asked.

Xiao Shaobei said: "How do you want me to answer?"

He didn't answer his question head-on, Duan Wufang didn't know what he thought in his heart, but by doing so, he was undoubtedly provoking anger.

"Stop. Duan Wuflaw looked at him and said, "The reason why the emperor is jealous of your father is only because of the affairs of the Knowles family, these things still can't involve you, a junior, if you can settle down, maybe the emperor's family will not pursue it again." ”

Xiao Shaobei sneered: "Anfen? How can it be counted as Anfen? My father has been in the north for many years, guarding the border of the Great Wei, isn't it Anfen!"

Duan Wufang's expression was solemn: "What do you want?"

Xiao Shaobei said: "This matter has nothing to do with you, and you don't have to get involved." ”

When he had said this, he took up his pen and wrote it on the letterhead.

Xiao Shaobei didn't know what Ji Yanning would do after he learned the news that Su Ningxue had divided her five horses and even buried her in five places, he couldn't think of better words or euphemistically told her now, so he could only write down the results of the interrogation according to the truth.

In addition to writing about the bones, he also explained that tonight's incident should not be worried about her, and he would handle it properly.

Duan Wuflaw saw his solemn appearance, and he couldn't say any words of persuasion for a while.

He knows very well that Xiao Shaobei is a person, he used to have a gentle personality, but he is a man of all words, and now he will not easily change his position.

But as a friend, Duan Wufang would never just see Xiao Shaobei in danger and ignore him.

Xiao Shaobei wrote the letter, dried it gently, put it in the envelope, and handed it to Duan Wufang.

Duan Wufang glanced at him helplessly and put the letter away.

Xiao Shaobei said: "I may be stared at these days, and I will return to Northern Xinjiang in a few days, the only thing I am worried about is Ji Yanning, if I can, I don't ask you to help her, I just hope that sometimes I won't embarrass her." ”

Duan Wufang's eyes sank slightly, and he sneered: "If she doesn't cause trouble, how can I embarrass her? You care about her so much, why don't you take her to Northern Xinjiang?"

It's good to be able to get rid of Rong Che's thoughts.

Xiao Shaobei said: "It's not time yet. ”

Duan Wufang didn't answer him again, he understood that for Ji Yanning, Xiao Shaobei really trusted him unconditionally.

On the second day, the brawl between Dingbei Hou and Zhongdebo had already raged in Chang'an.

After all, last night's movement was so big, it's hard to think about it.

The imperial history of the Imperial Procuratorate really wrote an impeachment chapter overnight, impeaching both the Marquis of Dingbei and Zhongdebo.

Yan Zheng was beaten by Xiao Shaobei and couldn't get out of bed, so naturally he couldn't go to the court, but Xiao Shaobei took his bruised face to the court without any scruples.

Seeing Xiao Shaobei's face, the courtiers couldn't help but gasp, this was too tragic.

The emperor was furious: "Xiao Shaobei, you are guilty!"

Xiao Shaobei's eyes were indifferent, he stepped out of the queue, bowed his head and said: "Weichen is guilty, Weichen shouldn't be impulsive and start to make a statement, he should wait for the patrol battalion to come and take him down." ”

"Presumptuous! No matter how you say it, you are also a knight, how can you let the patrol battalion say that you will be detained!" the emperor's eyes sank.

Xiao Shaobei said: "But Yan Zheng, who is holding the position of earl, took his soldiers to surround Weichen's Hou Mansion, and threatened to teach Weichen a lesson, if the patrol battalion can't take him down, and Weichen can't fight back, then wouldn't he be slaughtered?"

The emperor looked at him coldly: "Let him be slaughtered?" Are you a marquis, can you only use your fists to solve things?"

Xiao Shaobei said: "Weichen is just a reckless general, and he really can't think of any way." ”

"Reckless general?" the emperor sneered and said, "I see that you have a lot of calculations!"

Xiao Shaobei bowed his head: "If the emperor really thinks so, Weichen has nothing to refute, and the minister is willing to accept the guilt." It's just that Yan Zheng led troops to besiege the Hou Mansion and insulted the minister's parents, but the minister only regretted that he didn't kill him, and he was ashamed of his parents and was a son of man in vain. ”

He knelt down and bowed his head to confess.

When Baiguan saw him like this, he felt a little unbearable.

Hu Yong, who has rarely spoken out in the court since accepting bribes, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that there must be a reason for Uncle Yan to lead the troops. ”

"I think there is a reason why Master Hu accepted bribes in the first place. Xiao Shaobei said.

Hu Yong was choked by him like this, his face was a little embarrassed, but he still said: "Say one thing and one thing, this official is doing right, Xiao Hou doesn't have to be so sarcastic." Zhongdebo has always been rigorous and loyal, and this is definitely because there is a reason for this, how can Xiao Hou explain the detention of the three lieutenant generals of Zhongdebo Mansion?"

Xiao Shaobei said: "The matter of the three lieutenant generals is still to be explained by Li Duwei, and the death of his lieutenant general is on the head of Benhou, but there is no such reason! Master Hu said that he is rigorous in his words and deeds, and he is loyal, is he talking nonsense with his eyes open?"

"You!" Hu Yong said, "I'm just telling the truth!"

The corners of Xiao Shaobei's lips hooked up a sarcastic arc: "Who doesn't know the filth in Yanfu in Chang'an City now? The chaos in the back house and the connivance of cholera in the concubine and mother are against human morality! His concubine has already fornicated with others before she has decided to marry, which is immoral." Such a person, I feel unlucky, how can I ask for trouble!"

"It's just something out of nowhere, and it can't be true!" Hu Yong said, "How can Xiao Hou listen to these rumors in the market?"

The affairs of the Yan family are well known, and originally Yan Zheng should also be a man with his tail between his legs, but he actually made this scene, and the emperor was depressed.

"Enough!" the Emperor scolded.

Hu Yong and Xiao Shaobei both quieted down.

Rong Che stood aside, and Yu Guang looked at Xiao Shaobei who was kneeling on the ground, and then stood up.

"Brother Huang, the younger brother thinks that this matter should be investigated and then it is not too late to make a conclusion. Rong Che said, "Only when the truth is found out can we judge who is right and who is wrong." ”

Zuo Prime Minister Murong Kai also stepped forward and said: "Weichen thinks that His Royal Highness King Xuan is reasonable, even if it is wrong for Dingbei Hou and Zhongdebo to lead troops to fight, but it is necessary to figure out the cause and effect." ”

Other ministers seconded the motion.

The emperor took a deep breath and asked, "Who do you think Aiqing should be assigned to investigate this case?"

As soon as these words came out, the hundred officials were quiet for a while.

Dali Siqing and the Criminal Department Shangshu did not speak, standing in their positions and standing still.

This errand is not so easy to receive, not only because of Xiao Shaobei's identity, but also because it is not too difficult to determine who is who, just like a quarrel in the neighborhood, it is impossible to say whether it is right or wrong, because there are many mistakes in the dispute between the two sides.

However, these two people may not lose their power because of this case, who wants to take on such a drudgery?

The emperor glanced at the hundred officials, snorted coldly, and finally his gaze fell on Rong Che's body.

"This matter will be left to King Xuan. The Emperor spoke, "The Criminal Department and the Patrol Battalion will assist in the investigation." ”

Rong Che stepped forward and saluted, "Brother Chen." ”
