"The minister thinks that the nonsense written above must be directed by Mrs. Xie against the minister, and this kind of behavior is really shameless, and Your Majesty should punish it severely." Ji Yuanxun hooked his head, and Ji Qiang, who was written on the resignation letter, had already touched his bottom line, and Ji Yuanxun asked the emperor to punish him severely, and he didn't leave any affection for Mrs. Xie.

Mrs. Xie bowed his head and said, "Ask Your Majesty to learn from it." ”

The two of them knelt on the ground, the emperor knocked on the armrest, as if he was thinking, and after a while, there was a commotion outside the door, it was Concubine Yun who was about to come in at the door, and the eunuch was blocking outside, and after a while, there was no sound, and it should have been taken away by the guards.

The emperor knocked down his index finger and pondered: "This matter, I am afraid that you will not look good in the court, so I summoned you overnight to understand, Mrs. Xie, what you said in your resignation is extreme, I have heard of this matter, I think you inquired wrongly, and I don't know the truth of the matter, Song Guogong, Mrs. Xie This matter is stopped, don't mention it again, you are all pillars of the court, don't have to fight-for-tat, get up." ”

The emperor gave a step, and Taifu Xie in the palace took a step first, got up and bowed, and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”

Song Guogong stood up unwillingly, saluted and said, "Obey the order." ”

The two of them were not fools, and they knew that they would not be able to end up if they continued to make trouble, so they both took a step back, but Ji Yuanxun looked at Xie Yu's eyes with hidden ruthlessness.

The matter was temporarily extinguished, Song Guogong Xie Taifu left the hall before and after, the emperor stroked his brows and asked the old eunuch beside him: "Do you think this matter is over?" ”

"Slaves don't know"

"Really?"

The emperor left the hall with his hands behind his back, he planned to find Concubine Yun, but was told by the old eunuch that Concubine Yun could not enter the council hall, so she guarded the road, and at this time she had already gotten into Taifu Xie's carriage and left.

"Really?" The Emperor said again the words he had just uttered in the Council Hall, and then said angrily, "It's just nonsense. ”

Concubine Yun, who was already sitting in the carriage, didn't know the emperor's attitude towards her now, she looked at Xie Yu with an expressionless face, and said aggrievedly: "Dad~"

"Smack"

The sound echoed in the carriage, and the carriage drove into the avenue leaving the palace, and Concubine Yun, who was sitting in the carriage, covered her red face, her face full of incredulity.

At home, Xie Yu never beat him, and he also beat her brother who was not yet a weapon, and whipped her with a stick, why did he do it to her at this time.

Xie Yu glared at him, and said angrily: "Idiot, if it weren't for you, how could I make enemies in the court." ”

"Why do you want to deal with a new princess, 400,000, you really can eat, if there is anything wrong with this matter, our family's decades of hard work will be ruined."

"I ...... I naturally have my reasons. Concubine Yun lowered her head and remembered what Concubine Jing had said to her a few days ago.

"I heard that the new princess once saw a woman cheating with a man at a banquet in the county lord's mansion, although I don't know who it is, but it is also a disgraceful thing to think about."

Cheating.

Isn't it herself who cheated with the county lord in the county lord's mansion? But this kind of thing, how could Concubine Yun say it.

Xie Yu's voice was fierce: "If I hadn't inadvertently heard the conversation between you and the maidservant, how would I know that you had done such a thing, but what is the point of the 400,000, although I don't know why you want to deal with the Ji family's daughter, but you use the power we hide in the Praetorian Guard, it is the biggest mistake, I don't care who you need to deal with, but if these forces go wrong, not only us, but half of the heads of the court will have to be lost." ”

"I was wrong, Dad, I was wrong to use the Janissaries' pawns to kill people, but I handled it seamlessly, and there will be no problems." Concubine Yun said silently

Xie Yu said: "Resign, just to put the emperor's eyes on this matter, later, you must deal with Ji Qiang justifiably, I don't want anything to go wrong during the period, and also, the matter of the pond gully, you need to use it carefully, and you must not catch fire." ”

Concubine Yun nodded, and the carriage stopped at the gate that was about to leave the palace, and Concubine Yun walked out of it, and the carriage crossed the gate and headed out into the night.

Princess's House.

Xia Jinnian looked at Ji Qiang and said: "The matter of the pond gully, there was a lot of trouble in the capital back then, at that time, the eighth brother was stationed in the frontier for three years, and then returned to Beijing to resume his life, ten years ago, the eighth brother was relegated to the frontier because he accidentally injured a concubine who was favored by the emperor, he has always wanted to come back, in fact, the accidental injury was not him, but someone framed him." ”

"For this reason, he spent three years in the frontier, and then on the way back to Beijing to recover his life, he brought some gold, silver and jewelry accumulated in the frontier over the years."

"In that place on the frontier, although the Japanese are vicious, they all carry a lot of money, and the jewels of the eighth brother are all taken off on their heads one by one."

"But just when he was passing through the pond with gold, silver and jewelry, the masked thief killed the eighth brother, and his jewelry was also swept away, and the elder brother died, His Majesty Long Yan was furious, and used tens of thousands of troops to investigate for a whole year without success, if you hadn't mentioned it in the letter, I would have forgotten about it."

"However, what is your intention in asking me to investigate the matter of the pond?" Xia Jinnian stared at Ji Qiang curiously, "How did you know about this?"

Ji Qiang didn't answer his question, but got up and walked to the cabinet, opening the dark compartment inside, in addition to some poison, there was also a fragment of jade.

"This jade ......" Xia Jinnian followed her and picked up the piece of remnant jade, "I have seen such a style of jade in the seized vassals. ”

"This is what I said in the lotus, the jewelry store in the warehouse of the water, inside, there is also a section of my father used when he went to the battlefield of the red tassel, I asked, seven years ago, the day of the ravine, my father also happened to go to Beijing to restore his life, in other words, the goods in the jewelry shop are likely to be related to the incident that year, and some people want to blame my father for this matter, their goal has never been 400,000 taels of silver, but to put the Song State Mansion to death." There was a wave of anger in Ji Qiang's eyes, "If it weren't for Leng Xiang's sharp eyes, I wouldn't have found this red tassel, and there are two days, that is, when the jewelry shop returns 400,000 taels of silver, I need you to do me a favor." ”

"I won't ignore this matter, but it's too big, I can't believe your words, I need to go to that warehouse to take a look and confirm it." Xia Jinnian realized the seriousness of the matter, but saw that Ji Qiang had already taken out civilian clothes from the cabinet, quickly put them on, and said, "Since this is the case, it is difficult to wait any longer, it is better to go now." ”

Xia Jinnian nodded, opened the room and walked out, Ji Qiang followed behind him, guided a path that avoided most people, and out of the princess's mansion, Xia Jinnian whistled, only to see a carriage speeding over.
