Chapter 189: The Grape Incident

The emperor also got the news after nightfall, but he didn't have any words, he didn't take any measures, first, for fear of waking up the queen mother, and secondly, it could be regarded as acquiescence. What he didn't allow Ling'er to do, Wen Jingye helped her because she doted on the children, which can be regarded as... Right.

Ling'er couldn't sleep at night, not knowing if everything was going well tonight, and writhed in Ah Jue's arms.

"Why can't you sleep?" Ah Jue was woken up by her writhing around.

"A little worried." Ling'er looked at Ah Jue's big face close at hand.

"Don't worry, my father never does anything that can't be done, he must have calculated it." Ah Jue hugged Ling'er into his arms and said, "Sleep, you will get up early tomorrow, your swordsmanship is getting worse than mine." ”

"You and Zuo Zuo are both materials for sword practice, so I can't do it. Can't you realize it at all! Ling'er pouted and pushed Ah Jue, and the guy fell asleep again.

Early the next morning, Master Murong still arrived at that point, but he didn't seem to have any energy today, and his eyes were still a little swollen.

"Master, did you cry last night?" Zuo Zuo asked in a milky voice.

"Why can the master cry, I slept late last night and drank too much tea." Master Murong waved his hand.

"Master, it's easy to lose sleep when you drink tea in the middle of the night." Ling'er didn't sleep well last night, and she was a little unenergetic.

"Hey, I'm old, I'm old, I can't be old, I didn't drink some tea before, really!" Murong Qingyang complained to himself, still taking Ling'er and them to squat and stride.

"Master, last night, Ah Ke?" Ling'er didn't ask, Ah Jue asked first, in fact, Ling'er was going to ask when there weren't too many people, this was preempted by Ah Jue, Ah Jue was also anxious, Ah Ke was related to Ling'er's worried Mengmeng, the key place to start is Wenfu, and the people who took it out were also the family members of Wenfu.

"Well, give me the grapes, I'll just say." Shi Gong became like a child, and suddenly remembered that he had been dedicated last night, and he came to ask for grapes in the morning.

"What grapes?" Zuo Zuo also looked curious.

"It's different from the grapes in our Imperial City, it will be available after breakfast in a while, and after you go home later today, the Qi Mansion should send it." Ling'er happily nodded Xiao Azuo's little nose.

"Really? Yes! Eat a little in the morning, and then you can eat a little more when you get home! Is it tasty? "Zuo Zuo can't wait.

"Delicious, sweet." Ah Jue also looked at the appearance of the snack on the left and left, and stepped forward and nodded his nose.

"Your Majesty and His Royal Highness always love to bully Ah Zuo!" Xiao Zuo'er stood up and rubbed his nose, it was so itchy.

"Hahaha."

"Why didn't you see the master today?" Ling'er looked left and right for a while, but didn't see the Grand Commander.

"The emperor got up early and sent him to the forbidden army camp to select soldiers, and he went out of the city early in the morning, and the emperor knew about last night's incident, and said that he would go to the forbidden army camp to select twenty people, fill the family, enjoy the treatment of the forbidden army, do the work of the family, and wait for those people to come back before the next step." Murong Qingyang said very vaguely, and he didn't want Zuo Zuo to know about it before he said it. In fact, Zuo'er is very sensible, and when he goes home, he hardly says what he hears and sees in the palace, and he never talks much, Qi Hai and Zhang Xuelan should have educated Zuo Zuo, no matter what he hears and sees in the palace, he is not allowed to say anything when he goes out of the palace.

"I see, do you have to train for a while?" Ling'er also understood.

"That's right, the palace is handed over to the deputy commander today, Che'er will come back later, and there will be a special person to go to the training, there is no need for Che'er." Murong Qingyang continued to explain.

"Thank you for your hard work." Ling'er was also a little discouraged, her promise touched so many people, so eventful.

"Why didn't you say it, I was in Wenfu last night." After Murong Qingyang finished speaking, he deliberately snorted again.

"That's right, then thank you, Master, let's eat more grapes later." Ling'er said with a smile, her eyes smiling into one word.

"Little girl with no conscience, it wasn't your master who told the emperor, the emperor didn't need him to say it if he wanted to know." Murong Qingyang thought that Ling'er wanted to make trouble with Niu Che.

"How can there be, I didn't mean that, Shigong will also have the heart of a villain!" Ling'er pursed her lips and twisted her face to look at her master.

"Really? Shigong was originally a villain, and he was not a saint. "Master is also playing a petty role today.

"Master, my horse is squatting, how about I go through Chapter 9 first?" Ah Jue stepped forward to be a peacemaker.

"Well, the two most perceptive apprentices for the teacher, one A Jue, and the other Zuo Zuo." Murong Qingyang looked at this and that, and then deliberately glanced at Ling'er, and Ling'er laughed out loud when she was amused by this little old man.

After dinner, Ah Jue and Zuo Zuo studied in the school palace together, Ling'er studied "University" with Master Mo today, and did not go to the emperor and the queen mother last night and this morning to say hello, Ling'er was a little afraid of the past.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."Master Mo called Ling'er a few times, but she didn't hear it, and this guy was distracted again.

"Huh? I'm sorry Master..."Ling'er felt a little absent-minded, she didn't have a good rest last night, and she was really sleepy after eating a full meal after playing swordsmanship in the morning.

"Your Majesty, if you learn like this, you really won't be able to catch up with Your Highness, yesterday the minister saw Wang Rufeng, and he kept praising His Highness." Taishi shook his head.

"Really? That's good. I am a little tired today, and I want to rest early after approving the recital, can the master be accommodating? Ling'er was completely weak.

"The minister will retreat first." Master Mo reluctantly picked up the book and walked out.

Ling'er didn't want to go to the emperor, so she didn't know what to say. And so the day passed in chaos.

On the morning of the second day, Shigong came over with swollen eyes again.

"Master, did you drink tea again last night?" Ah Jue looked at his funny appearance and couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"Hey! Your father is a chatter! Murong Qingyang shook his head!

"It looks like the master didn't sleep well last night." Ah Jue smiled at Zuozuo.

"Your Highness, I didn't receive grapes at home yesterday...... I also bragged to my father, mother, and brother for a long time, and it turned out... No. Zuozuo looked unhappy and pouted.

"Really? I'll ask you today. Ling'er glanced at Ah Jue, and said to Zuo Zuo.

"What do you see me doing? I guess it's not finished yet! Ah Jue looked at her cautious eyes and didn't believe her family.

"I'm afraid that the eldest lady will be a moth." Ling'er said it bluntly.

"Ling'er, the words in the empress's mouth must have a basis, you can't talk nonsense, you can't say anything out of thin air!" Shigong was also a little unhappy to see her talking about the eldest lady like that, and he met the eldest lady several times in the Wenfu in the past two days, and he was the same as Wen Jingye, thinking that she was not such a person.

"Yes, Zuo Zuo, my sister will ask you in the morning, okay?" Ling'er smiled and touched his little head.

"Ling'er, the master went out of the city yesterday and didn't tell you in advance." Niu Che was a little embarrassed to see Ling'er today, he didn't do a good job of Ling'er's explanation, and he was infamous for complaining behind his back.

"I knew it yesterday, and the apprentice believed in the master." Ling'er returned Niu Che with a big smile.

"......" Niu Che didn't answer, and began to practice with Ling'er.

In the morning, Wen Jingye came to Ling'er to resume his life.

"Your Majesty, the grapes have been distributed. There are officials above the third grade in the imperial city, and they are not divided according to rank, because it is unfair, and they are divided according to the head. Wen Jingye handed the detailed report to Ling'er.

"When practicing swordsmanship this morning, the second son of the Qi family said that his family had not received grapes until this morning, and it was said that his family had two copies, and Lord Qi Hai and Lord Qi Dai should both share one share. Do you have that on this table? Ling'er flipped through the pages of the report, and when she turned to the third page, she saw Qi Hai's name, and on the fifth page, Qi Dai's name was on it. Ling'er held the two pages between her fingers and said to Wen Jingye, "Father, come forward and take a look." ”

Wen Jingye didn't know why, Zou frowned and hurriedly said: "No, it was all arranged yesterday, and it was all sent out before dark." ”

"Look, this is Lord Qi Hai's name, and this person sent it. This is the name of Lord Qi Dai, and it was sent by this person. Ling'er pointed carefully.

"These two people send different levels, although they are the same family, the minister also asked two people to send them separately, and the minister will ask what the problem is." Wen Jingye kept frowning.

"Who are these two fathers, and where are they now?" Ling'er felt that it was unlikely that Wen Jingye would do this, but she doubted Mrs. Wen in her heart and wanted to take this opportunity to rectify the lawless lady. Prepare for a trial in the Imperial Study.

"Your Majesty, they are all my lieutenants, who have been following me, let me go to the trial and then reply to Your Majesty." Wen Jingye is also the second monk.

"No, my father should avoid suspicion at this time, little knife, you come! I will write you two names, and you will go to the Guogong Mansion to bring them to them! Ling'er took out a piece of paper and wrote the names of the two people.

"Father, don't be nervous, the child believes you, maybe there is some misunderstanding in the middle, maybe something is wrong." Ling'er tried to make herself appear as soft as possible. "Little Taoxin, you go and call Qi Hai and Qi Dai into the palace."

"Your Majesty, the minister will investigate, and he will not shield anyone." Wen Jingye felt that Ling'er didn't believe him either.

"Father, the child believes in you. It's just that it's not a matter that the Wen family has been criticized like this, and the child wants to find out who the culprit is today! Ling'er's implication was that today he was going to find out the person behind the troublemaker. She wanted to protect the Wen family, and she couldn't let such an atmosphere grow. This is not good for the Wen family and the Qi family.

"Those are all people who were born and died with the minister, how could the minister not believe it because of a box of grapes!" Wen Jingye sat on the bench, a little angry, a little worried, and finally sighed.

"The child wants to protect you, Jue'er, and the eldest brother in Northern Xinjiang." Ling'er also said what was in her heart: "Yesterday, my father saved Ling'er in the name of ruthlessness and trustlessness, which is unforgettable. By the way, I heard my master say, everything went well last night, and my father also donated generously, I will ask everyone to give these to my father in a while, how can I call my father out of this money, and the next family in the Wenfu still lives on your money. ”

"This is voluntary, Your Majesty doesn't have to ...... anymore" Wen Jingye was about to refuse, but was interrupted by Ling'er.

"Father, this is a royal gift, don't shirk it again!" Ling'er waved her hand and asked him not to say it again, Ling'er's own small warehouse has always been managed by Xiao Taoxin herself, and she went to Qi Mansion, and she had to wait until she came back to get the money.

"Yes, then the minister will thank Your Majesty for the reward." Wen Jingye knelt down and thanked him.

"Father doesn't have to be polite!" Ling'er was busy helping Wen Jingye up. The two sat down and chatted for a while, and after a while, the two lieutenants came, along with Qi Hai and Qi Dai.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty is well! "All four of them were brought in together.

"Get up, give me a seat." Ling'er smiled, everyone didn't know what was going on.

"Lord Qi Hai, did you receive any grapes from the Imperial Gift yesterday?" Ling'er got straight to the point.

"No, minister." Qi Hai stood up and replied.

"Lord Qi, the lieutenant general named Aqidai over there is said to have sent grapes to your house yesterday, are you sure you haven't seen him?" Ling'er pointed to one of the lieutenants.

"No." Qi Hai stood in front of the chair, hunched over.

"Archiedai, I read what is written in this report, you set off to deliver grapes to Lord Qi's house at noon yesterday, why haven't you delivered them until now?" Ling'er turned her face to look at Archie.

"The minister sent twenty families yesterday, of which he went to five families, and the rest were sent by three of the minister's subordinates, and Lord Qi should have sent it to one of the three people." Archie replied unhurriedly.

"Little knife, you take the token out of the palace again, go and come back quickly! Get all three! Ling'er thought for a while, turned her face and asked the person who gave Qi Dai grapes: "Did you send Qi Dai to Lord Qi Dai's mansion yourself?" ”

"The minister's share was handed over to Archie, because it was a family, and the minister felt that he didn't have to run twice." The lieutenant bowed his head in embarrassment. Because Wen Jingye asked them to send it twice, and they played another set underneath.

Wen Jingye didn't speak, and let out a long sigh.

"Little Knife, take a few people, and get me all the three people that Archie Dai said! Archie, tell Knife where are those three people? Ling'er pointed with a finger.

"Father-in-law, those three people are resting in their own mansions, and one is in the ......" Archie Dai told Xiao Daozi a detailed address, and wrote it on a piece of paper for fear that he would forget, so Xiao Daozi hurriedly took people away.

The morning passed like this, Ah Jue had already come from school, came in to see so many people inside, and looked at them one by one before coming to Ling'er's side.

"So many people came to eat at noon today." Ah Jue pointed to the door with a curious expression and asked Ling'er in a low voice.

"Why are you here, are you all ready for dinner?" Ling'er glanced at the hourglass, indeed.

"It's not too early to get out of school today." Ah Jue comes over every day after school.

"Then let's eat first, little Taoxin, you go to the library to get some silver for Wen Guogong." Ling'er suddenly thought again.

"The servant will go and order the food to be brought first, and then go to the Curry." Little Momshin also retreated.

"What money are you going to give to your father?" Ah Jue asked puzzled.

"My father's payment for me last night." Ling'er looked at so many people, and it was not easy to elaborate and prevaricate.

"I'll be away for a while, what's going on?" Ah Jue pointed to the group of people below.

"The Qi family didn't receive the grapes, you see that this report shows that they were sent in two batches yesterday, and the person just now said that they were sent in batches." Ling'er shook her head.

"And there is such a thing, in the hands of Grandpa Guo, as an errand and a big deal? The royal gift also dares..."Ah Jue pointed at them and was about to scold.

"Ah Jue!" Ling'er interrupted him: "Don't be rude! ”

Ah Jue was stunned on the spot, blinked, and was silent.

"Let's eat first! Wait for the knife to come back and ask again. Ling'er looked at the meals that were being delivered one after another at the door and said loudly.

After a while, everyone had a working meal in front of them, and everyone was eating silently.

"Father, this is your favorite bamboo shoot." Ah Jue handed the bamboo shoots on his plate to Yang Hao and pointed to Wen Guogong. Yang Hao glanced at Ling'er, Ling'er didn't make a sound, and he sent it over.

"Minister, thank Your Highness for the reward!" Wen Guogong took it with both hands and stood up to thank him.

"Let people get more." Ling'er looked at him with a smile: "Little Taoxin, go to the imperial dining room to get some more, and ask Yang Hao to try it and serve it again." ”

Little Momoxin hurriedly ran out.

When he rinsed his mouth after eating, Xiaodaozi hurriedly ran in, knelt on the ground, and cried and said: "Your Majesty, Xiaodaozi is incompetent, when the minister went to the house of those three people, they all died violently at home......"

After saying that, Archie's mouthwash cup scared off the floor. Wen Guogong also frowned, but Ah Jue choked on mouthwash and coughed.

"It seems that some people don't want us to know the truth of this matter, and the nature of this matter has changed, so let's not talk about it! The criminal department is still obedient! Ling'er clenched her fists.

"Chen Qihai listens to the order." Qi Haihai knelt down.

"Let's look it up! Who withheld the two portions of grapes from your family's royal gift? Ling'er pointed to the two people at the door again: "Those two are suspects, take them away." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has a reluctant request." Qi Hai didn't stand up, he bowed his head and knelt there: "The minister thinks, if necessary, he will also want Wen Guogong..."

"Presumptuous! Did the Wenguo Guild send you those two grapes! "Ah Jue is a person who protects his shortcomings, and he can't say that the person closest to him is not good!

"Ah Jue! Shut up! Wen Guogong is old, and he can also appear in court for questioning as long as he is suitable. The rest of the time is spent at home. Ling'er glanced at Wen Guogong.

"Your Majesty, the minister's rule is not strict, and he is willing to follow the deputy general to live in the criminal department, and those who are clear will be cleared!" Wen Guogong also stepped forward and knelt down.

"I have already said that Wen Guogong will go home to rest, and if necessary, Qi Shangshu will let you appear in court to question!" Ling'er can't ask Wen Guogong to go to the prison of the Criminal Department, so where will Ah Jue's face go.

"The ministers obey." Qi Hai kowtowed with Wen Jingye and retreated. The two lieutenants were taken away by Qi Hai. Now there are Qi Dai who doesn't know whether he should leave or stay in the house, and Ah Jue, who is red-eyed.

"Qi Shilang, did your family really not receive grapes yesterday?" Ah Jue suddenly turned his face and asked him.

"Back to Your Highness, yes!" Qi Dai was also very helpless, he didn't want to stay, and he didn't dare to leave.

"If you don't feel at ease, go to the criminal department for me!" Ling'er looked at Ah Jue.

"I'm not going, I have to avoid suspicion!" Jue turned his head.

"Qi Shilang will also go to the Criminal Department to help Qi Shangshu try this case." Ling'er saw that he was not sitting or standing, it was awkward, and it was awkward to look at.

"Yes!" Qi Dai withdrew as if he had been amnestied.
