Chapter 192: Xu'er makes a move
The matter between Xiao Shaobei and Zhong Debo is now in an uproar, although Zhong Debo's reputation is now ruined, and many people scoff at them, but gradually other voices have come out.
Yan Zheng insisted that everything in his Yan Mansion was done by Xiao Shaobei, not only including Xiao Shaobei who broke Yan Jinzhong's leg before, but also planted Yan Jinzhong's stupidity and other things in the mansion on the head of the Dingbei Hou Mansion.
There were a lot of rumors against the Dingbei Hou Mansion that spread around, Ji Yanning naturally did not allow the situation to be biased in favor of the words, and arranged for people to spread unfavorable words in the Zuixiang Building.
The emperor handed over the matter to Rong Che to deal with, and asked Li Xiaoyun to assist in the investigation, but he just wanted them to find out how Xiao Shaobei framed the Yan family.
Ji Yanning knew that Xiao Shaobei did this, in addition to finding out what happened back then for her, but also to divert other eyes and prevent Yan Zheng from being aware of her existence.
She sighed lightly and rubbed her forehead with her hand, only to feel a headache, and it was not easy to completely eradicate the signs.
But she had to do it, and there was no way back.
Now it's just a small sign, and after the sign, there are Lijun Wang, Su Ningxue, and Rong Liang, each of these people is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Her strength is still too weak now.
An Shi saw that Ji Yanning was not in high interest in the past two days, and proposed to go out for a walk or pray for blessings, but Ji Yanning politely refused because she was unwell, as long as she didn't fall down for a day, her heart couldn't get up.
"Miss. Ji Jiu walked in from outside the courtyard and bowed to Ji Yanning, "Young Master Ying said he wanted to see you." ”
Ji Yanning, who was thinking about countermeasures in the study, raised his head in surprise when he heard this: "Xu'er, isn't he in the county lord's mansion?"
Ji Jiu reported truthfully: "Young Master Ying is in the Ji family's house. ”
The Ji house he said was the house where Yuan Jiaojiao lived when she first came to Chang'an, and it was the courtyard house under the name of Baochang Ji, and Ji Yanning and Ji Lang would hardly go anywhere, so ordinary people would not have thought that they would hide Ying Wenxu's little servant Ah Ren there.
Ji Yanning listened to Ji Jiu's words and asked him to prepare the carriage, while he went back to the room to change into more inconspicuous clothes.
Although the people of Yanzheng and Yanfu are now under the control of the Criminal Department and the patrol battalion, and they are confined to the mansion, Ji Yanning is still a little worried, Ying Wenxu came out of the county lord like this, if he is recognized, it is not good for Yanxu.
The carriage slowly walked in the direction of Ji Mansion, and after arriving at the gate of Ji Mansion, Ji Yanning got off the carriage directly and walked inside.
Ying Wenxu saw Ji Yanning walk in, stepped forward and said, "Little aunt." ”
Ji Yanning put down the cloak and hat on his body, looked at Ying Wenxu, and asked, "Why did you come out?" Didn't you let you stay in the county lord's mansion, but what happened?"
Ying Wenxu said: "I heard about Marquis Xiao and Yan Zheng, and I was a little relieved that my little aunt was a little relieved, so I came out." I've already told her on the county lord's side, and she just told me to be cautious, just don't reveal my identity, and it won't restrict my freedom. ”
Not only that, but the county lord also arranged two guards with good martial arts for him.
Ji Yanning said: "You don't have to worry about Shaobei and Yanzheng, he will be fine." ”
Although the emperor wants to cut off Xiao Shaobei's marquis, the hundred officials may not necessarily agree, not to mention that now that Dayan is eyeing the Great Wei, if he cuts the title of the Marquis of Dingbei at this time, isn't it equivalent to leaving the north without a backbone?
But not cutting the title does not mean not cutting the power in his hands.
Ying Wenxu said: "The emperor is biased, Marquis Xiao will definitely not be happy, maybe I can help." ”
Ji Yanning looked at him and said uneasily: "If Yan Zheng finds out your traces, I'm afraid that he won't let you go easily, how can you help?"
Ying Wenxu said: "Little aunt, don't forget, my identity on the surface is that I am a member of the Yan family. ”
Although Yan Zheng claimed that Yan Xu was dead, his current identity was that he was the eldest son of the Yan family.
After listening to Ying Wenxu's words, Ji Yanning immediately understood what he meant: "You mean, you want to stand up and restore Yanxu's identity?"
Ying Wenxu nodded: "The reason why Yan Zheng bit Xiao Shaobei is not precisely because he wants to push all the things of Yanfu on him? If I stand up at this time and admit these things for Yanfu, Yan Zheng will naturally have no reason to pester Xiao Shaobei anymore." ”
Ji Yanning frowned, listened to his words, and thought deeply.
She was still worried: "But if Yan Zheng saw you, how could he let you go so easily?"
If Ying Wenxu came out to help Xiao Shaobei, Yan Zheng would definitely know that his son, who had been raised for more than 20 years, would have known his background and would spare no effort to kill.
"He knows in his heart that I am a member of the Ying family, but other people don't know, as long as he testifies to his words, based on what he did to Xiao Shaobei and the reputation of the Earl's Mansion, his position as earl is estimated to be lost, and what identity and power can he use to deal with me at that time?" Ying Wenxu said.
Ji Yanning looked down: "What I'm worried about is that he will tell the emperor about this matter, and your situation will not be optimistic at that time." ”
The reason why Yan Zheng has been hiding this secret is because he is afraid that the emperor will blame him after he finds out, but if he is really forced by Ying Wenxu, who knows what crazy moves he will make?
She didn't want Xu'er to be in such danger.
Ji Yanning's power is too weak now, and it is a little difficult to deal with just a sign, if he is facing Shang Rongling at this time, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.
"Harbouring a rebel is a great sin of raiding the house, and he will not. Ying Wenxu said.
Ji Yanning said: "He won't make it public, but it doesn't mean that he won't say it directly to the emperor." ”
It would be easy for the emperor to quietly dispose of a person.
Ying Wenxu pondered for a moment, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes: "Then don't let him see the emperor." ”
Ji Yanning was slightly stunned, and finally nodded.
After summing it up, Ji Yanning took people directly to the Xuan Palace.
Rong Che is now the chief judge of this case, and there are many things to investigate, thinking that Li Xiaoyun must have been ordered by the emperor to detain some crimes on Xiao Shaobei's head, he naturally wants to see some, and when he returns to the mansion, it is already past dinner time, and the sky is a little dark.
He rolled over and dismounted, untied his cloak, and handed it to the guards beside him.
The housekeeper stepped forward and said, "Lord Wang, Miss Ji has been waiting for the prince in the mansion for a long time. ”
Rong Che raised his eyebrows slightly, and was a little surprised when he heard the news that Ji Yanning had come to his palace.
However, thinking that she might have come to intercede for Xiao Shaobei, her eyes that had just lit up became dark.
Rong Che just hummed, and then stepped into the palace and walked towards the main hall.
Ji Yanning knew that Rong Che would be very busy recently, but he didn't expect him to be busy until this time before coming back, he had already picked a late time to come over, but he still waited for him for almost an hour.
But she's always been calm, and it's okay to wait a while.
When Rong Che stepped into the main hall, he saw Ji Yanning at a glance, and she had only been seen for a few days, and she seemed to have lost a little weight.
Ji Yanning and Ying Wenxu stood up and saluted Rong Che: "Lord Wang." ”
Rong Che didn't expect Ying Wenxu to come over, the last time he saw him, he was still pretending to be a stupid person in the palace, and now it seems that there is no stupidity on his body, wearing a moon-white dress, like a well-looking son of a family.
He bowed his head slightly and said, "No need to be polite. ”
Rong Che stepped forward, sat directly on the main seat, raised his eyes and looked at Ji Yanning, his gaze was indifferent: "Miss Ji, is this going to come over to plead with Marquis Xiao? ”
Ji Yanning said: "The prince misunderstood, I just watched the prince's hard work in investigating the case, and I sent a shortcut to the prince." ”
Rong Che listened to her words, glanced at Ying Wenxu again, and soon he had a rough idea in his heart of what Ji Yanning was going to do, and his eyes became deeper: "You want to use him to save Xiao Shaobei?"
Ji Yanning didn't answer and acquiesced to his questioning.
Ying Wenxu remembered that the relationship between Rong Che and Ji Yanning was still very good before, but for some reason the atmosphere seemed to be a little stiff today.
He got up and said to Rong Che, "I am willing to expose the evil deeds in the mansion." ”
Rong Che was cold to Ji Yanning because she only thought about Xiao Shaobei in her heart, but for Ying Wenxu, he had no reason to show face to him, Ying Wenxu had lived in his mansion before, and he was somewhat sympathetic to Ying Wenxu's experience.
"Yan Zheng has been secretly sending people to find you before, aren't you afraid of him if you expose him like this?" asked Rong Che.
Ying Wenxu's eyes were full of hatred, and he said, "I would rather knock him down with my own hands than to hide." ”
Rong Che nodded thoughtfully, he was now more sure that Yan Zheng and Yan Xu were not the business of the two fathers and sons.
He turned his head to look at Ji Yanning: "Miss Ji has already sent someone over, you can go back." ”
Ji Yanning looked at Rong Che: "I want you to guarantee his safety." ”
Rong Che nodded: "This king will protect the witnesses, this does not need to be reminded by Miss Ji." ”
Ji Yanning solemnly saluted Rong Che: "Thank you." ”
What Rong Che was holding in her hands was the future of Xu'er and Shaobei, and she had to be cautious.
Seeing Ji Yanning's departing back disappear from view, Rong Che turned his head to look at Ying Wenxu, but met Ying Wenxu's puzzled look.
"Does the prince like Sister Ning?" asked Ying Wenxu cautiously.
He looked at Ji Yanning's eyes as he left, as if he couldn't wait to chase after him, Ying Wenxu felt that he was still very discerning.
Rong Che snorted lightly, not admitting or denying it.
Ying Wenxu seemed to understand "oh".
"What, you also want to persuade this king to stay away from Ji Yanning?" Rong Che raised his eyebrows, his tone a little sarcastic.
