"Your Majesty, it is indeed possible that the minister neglected to supervise and let the gangsters mix in with the refugees, but the truth of what the minister said about the disaster in Langjiang can be sent to investigate both sides of the Langjiang River in person, and that Sun Shutong is definitely not a traitorous person in Li Shangshu's mouth, and the minister dares to guarantee with his life!"

Ji Changge fell to his knees and raised his voice with anger.

Mu Churan picked up the paperweight on the case and threw it at him, "My treasury, how can you afford your life?" The jade paperweight was in the middle of Ji Changge's forehead, and the blood flowed like an infusion, half of his face was dyed red, and Ji Changge's eyebrows were not wrinkled, nor did he say a word.

The other ministers all leaned over and said, "Your Majesty is angry." ”

Xiao He's heart hurts, she is not worth it for Ji Changge. Compared with Li Zhaoting, he is too immature. Who doesn't know that Pan Keyan is his protégé of Master Li, naturally he is a nostril puffer, they are clearly prepared, and they are not afraid of Ji Changge's accusation.

Mu Churan looked at Ji Changge, bleeding all over his face, but he still didn't change his color. Even if he has a warm blood, he doesn't know how to advance or retreat, he is too upright, and his edge is exposed, even if he is a good sword, it is also a sword that is not easy to use at this time, and he is a waste of himself.

"Someone! Ji Changge committed the following crimes, framed Zhongliang, disturbed the security of Gyeonggi, and was first imprisoned in the prison, and punished for several crimes, Rong Zhen thought carefully about how to punish him. With a wave of his hand, Mu Churan came up to the palace with a sword to get people.

Xiao He really couldn't bear it anymore, she was just about to get up, but she saw Duan Heng in front of her and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, even if Lord Ji is wrong, he is only concerned about the people's situation and has a little negligence, and I hope Your Majesty will be lenient." ”

Mu Churan reprimanded Duan Heng without thinking about it, and scolded him for ignoring the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, being reckless and righteous, and punishing him for three months. Finally, he said that there would be more intercessors who would be guilty of the same sin as him.

Xiao He watched the guards escort the bleeding Ji Changge out of the hall, his heart was unbearable, but he was helpless.

When he went down, Duan Heng was also punished to kneel on the Qinzheng Palace. Xiao He walked up to him and sighed, "This is not like your ordinary person." Duan Heng looked up at her, and a casual smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, "If I don't come out to intercede for Brother Ji, then I'm afraid it's you who is kneeling here at this time." ”

It turned out that he was actually blocking in front of him to fill Mu Churan's anger, and she said abruptly: "Why are you bothering? ”

Out of the Qinzheng Palace, Xiao He found a little eunuch to deliver a message to the imperial hospital and asked Xue Liangan to go to the prison to heal Ji Changge's injuries.

That night, Xue Liangan asked someone to bring back the news to the Xiao Mansion, and Ji Changge's injury was no longer serious, so she could rest assured. It's just that the emperor has ordered that no one should enter the prison to visit.

It stands to reason that even if Mu Churan killed Ji Changge, Xiao He should clap his hands and applaud, and the crime of fainting for him is just another addition, but if she sees Ji Changge asking for his life for the people but ending up in a prisoner, she regrets it. The thought of his face covered in blood and being taken away made her heart ache.

"Hongzhu, you might have prepared some drugs for me, which can make people fall asleep for a while?" Xiao He said to Hongzhu. Hongzhu lowered her head and groaned, and said to Xiao He, "Is Childe going to be used in food or something else?" ”

"The food is too slow to be medicated, is there anything faster?" Xiao He had already made up her mind, she wanted to visit the prison at night and meet with Ji Changge.

In the middle of the night, after she changed into her night clothes, she took the medicinal powder prepared for her by Hongzhu, sneaked into the prison under the cover of night, put down the guard's medicinal powder all the way, and came to the cell where Ji Changge was held.

He had already heard the change and got up to look, and saw Xiao He uncovering his mask and revealing his true face, "Brother Ji." ”

"Brother Xiao, who are you?" Ji Changge was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Changge is grateful for your heart to save you, but it is absolutely impossible to escape from prison without permission." ”

"Brother Ji, don't worry, I'm not here to rob the prison, it's just that the emperor ordered that no one should come to visit the prison, so I didn't make this decision." Xiao He smiled indifferently, his eyes fell on his prison uniform, and his smile became bitter.

Xiao Hecai asked him in detail who handled the evidence and account books of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and who knew about it, to see which link leaked the rumors. Not to mention overturning the case for him, Mu Churan did not bite Ji Changge's crime to death, and he has not yet been punished, so it can be serious. If someone slanders Mu Churan at this time, it is also possible that Ji Changge's head will fall to the ground.

Thinking of this, Xiao He couldn't help but press on Ji Changge's hand holding the bar, "Brother Ji, Xiao He will definitely try to clear your grievances for you." "Before she acts before the faint king starts to kill, she doesn't want to see another generation of loyal ministers splashed with blood.

Ji Changge's heart was hot, and he persuaded: "It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, the palace is heavily patrolled and guarded, if someone finds out...... Changge can't bear to bother you. Xiao He pulled up the mask, only revealing a pair of dark eyes, bowed slightly at him, and walked out of the cell lightly.

After Ji Changge sent Xiao He out, he brought the hand that he had just held down in front of him, and he was distracted, could it be because Brother Xiao's hand was white and jade, and it was as slender as a woman's soft wattle, which made him feel a little restless. Now that Brother Meng Xiao is willing to sacrifice himself to save him, this kind of friendship should be remembered in his heart, how can he be disturbed by other thoughts, and he really shouldn't think about it.

Xiao He stayed awake all night, thinking about how to help Ji Changge get rid of his crimes, and thinking about how to deal with Li Zhaoting and Lin En, but it was a pity that he had just entered the officialdom and was weak. Only then did she realize that she had to climb higher and get closer to the dragon chair, not only to protect what she wanted to protect, but also to have a better chance of fulfilling her long-cherished wish.

Thinking like this, she turned over and got up from the couch, and Hongzhu was also awakened, "Childe, get up so early?" ”

She went straight to the front of the case, grinding the pen and writing quickly, while instructing Hongzhu: "Help me send this letter out as soon as possible and give it to your brother." Hongzhu didn't ask much, so she answered.

Early in the morning, someone from the palace came to announce Xiao He, saying that he was summoned by the emperor.

Xiao He pursed his lips, maybe it was a good opportunity, so he changed his clothes and entered the palace.

Mu Churan was waiting for her in the imperial study. After Xiao He entered, Mu Churan waved his hand and retreated the others, and even Gonggong Liu asked him to wait outside. Xiao He was slightly suspicious in his heart, but he could only make a solemn appearance.

"Aiqing is not good friends with that Ji Changge, why didn't he mention him to intercede yesterday? Do you also think that he is guilty? Mu Churan dug a big hole in this question, Xiao He still maintained the posture just now, did not raise his head, and replied: "The minister believes that His Majesty will be able to distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and the sacred heart will determine right and wrong, and the minister does not need to say much." ”

Since he loves to hear good things, then she only says good things.

"I don't know when you learned this kung fu, why don't you answer my question directly?" Mu Churan asked.

Xiao He stood up straight and replied: "This is simple, Your Majesty has appointed a credible person to be a messenger, and he will check it out in person, and he will not be bewitched by others if he doesn't make a noise along the way, and he will definitely be able to find out." ”

"Hmph," Mu Churan sneered, "Isn't this exactly Ji Changge's idea?" You are not partial to him, why do you use his words to prevaricate me? ”

Xiao He also smiled: "The minister just said what he thought in his heart, and he didn't favor anyone. Li Lin and the two Shangshu lords are also people admired by the ministers, but there must be some local people who use the name of Beijing to do unrighteous things privately. For example, that Sun Shutong is the eye of His Majesty's personal order, and he was originally a person with a high Zhiqing Festival, how did he become a corrupt and corrupt person when he got below. It can't be that His Majesty is wrong, it must be three people who become tigers, and the truth is also fake, and the fake is also true. ”

Her words were openly and secretly referring to Sang scolding Huai, how could Mu Churan not hear it, but seeing her standing in front of the case, turning the white jade wrench on her thumb from time to time, her heart moved, and she changed her words.

"Does Aiqing have a table?"

Xiao He was stunned when he asked this, Mu Churan did he have a problem with his brain, and the topic changed illogically, but he could only answer: "The minister has never had a word." According to the customs of Da Yin, when a man performs the crown ceremony, he is given the word by his father or the elder of the family, and there is also a precedent for the famous family of the scholar family to be given the word by the emperor.

Xiao He couldn't guess what he was thinking.

"Mo Shangren is like jade, and the gentleman is unparalleled in the world. I give Aiqing a word, how about calling Moyu? Mu Churan's eyes were like torches, staring at Xiao He's cheeks slightly hot. The man is too feminine to use this expression, is this faint gentleman made up his mind to ......

It's a pity that he is not a real man, otherwise it would be easier to assassinate him on the dragon bed. Xiao He secretly scolded Mu Churan in his heart, but his face did not show the slightest abnormality, and he replied loudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the word." ”

"I remember that Sun Shutong is not the leader of the current department, and he is not in the same period as you, so how did you know?" Mu Churan's face changed like turning a book.

Xiao He replied: "In the affairs of the court, the ministers naturally pay more attention, and they take Lord Shangshu as the head of the horse, hoping that everything can be divided between the king's worries, so it is not difficult to spend more time on these small things, and it is not difficult to check some news." ”

"It seems that Aiqing is loyal and sincere." Mu Churan couldn't find anything wrong with her, so he beckoned, "You come forward to speak." ”

Xiao He was vigilant in his heart, but he still took two steps forward.

"Closer." Mu Churan continued to beckon.

Xiao He was almost on the edge of his dragon chair, and he still wanted to get closer.

Mu Churan suddenly reached out and grabbed Xiao He's wrist, pulling her to the point where she almost fell into his arms. Xiao He secretly worked hard and confronted Mu Churan.

"Aiqing asked the imperial doctor to treat the guilty minister yesterday, should I explain it to me?"

He looked at Xiao He's eyes, which were as bright as a pair of stars in the night sky when they looked closely.

Xiao He frowned slightly, yesterday she was concerned about it, forgetting that this was his territory, and there were his eyeliner everywhere, so he grabbed the handle. Thinking back to yesterday, her eyes suddenly lit up, and there was still some medicine powder left in Hongzhu.

She put her other hand into her arms, and said slowly: "It's time to give Your Majesty an explanation, Your Majesty, please look at this thing." While pinching the medicinal powder in the palm of his hand, he blew it towards Mu Churan.
