Duan Shengyi's purpose was very simple, she just wanted Xiao He to stay away from Mu Churan and Duan Heng.

I don't know why, Duan Shengyi felt that the person in front of him was not simple from the first time he saw Xiao He, not to mention that Duan Heng, a prince with such a noble status, actually revolved around him all day long, even Mu Churan, who has always been picky about people, appreciated him, and even ignored the opposition of the ministers, he was promoted by leapfrogging, so that Mu Churan directly did the Ministry of Rites from the minister of the secretary, no, this can no longer be regarded as appreciation, the two of them are so close that they are in the same room to approve the folds, and Mu Churan was even injured in order to save him......

Doesn't that explain anything? Duan Shengyi's heart trembled suddenly.

Far from the reason why she thought too much about it, the relationship between the two of them was by no means a simple relationship between monarchs and ministers.

Xiao He would not do a good job, but he had to come up with a reason to postpone the marriage, which man in this world would give up such a step to ascend to the sky to guard power and glory and wealth?

This Xiao He probably doesn't like women at all, so he seduced his brother and Mu Churan. But he knew how to attract them and trapped the two of them around.

Duan Shengyi was standing beside Mu Qingjuan, watching Xiao He being taken away, he couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart, just because Xiao He burned the royal ancestral hall, whether he was intentional or unintentional, even if Mu Churan was partial this time, Xiao He would not be able to escape punishment.

What's more, so many people have smelled the smell of this fire oil, and he will be even more inescapable, the lower his official position is, the fewer opportunities he has to contact Mu Churan and Duan Heng.

"The crime of burning the ancestral hall is heinous, are you sure that Brother Xiao He will be fine?" Obviously, he was fascinated by himself for a while, and sent someone to frame Xiao He, but seeing that Xiao He had an accident and was taken away by Jinyiwei, he was faintly uneasy in his heart, Duan Shengyi in front of him, what was his intention.

"Rest assured, princess, Lord Xiao is now the emperor's right-hand man, an important person used to weigh the forces of all parties, even if he makes a big mistake, the emperor will not easily punish him for serious crimes."

Duan Shengyi's face still had that gentle smile, but in the eyes of Mu Qingwan here and now, it looked a little weird.

"No, I sent someone to burn the ancestral hall, I should go to the imperial brother to admit my mistake......" Mu Qingwan saw that Xiao He was taken away, and he couldn't care so much.

After all, she is a princess, Mu Churan's own sister, even if she admits this crime, at most she will be confined and punished, Mu Churan will not really attack her after all, but Xiao He is different......

"Lord Xiao, you are a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, the second grade of the official residence, the grade or power is higher than that of the lower officials, if our Jinyiwei arrested you by mistake today, please don't mind Lord Xiao, the lower officials are just acting according to the rules and conducting routine interrogations of Lord Xiao."

Jinyiwei is worthy of being an organization that has been mixed with officialdom for a long time, no matter what he says or does, it is a royal organization that has lasted for so many years in the Yin Kingdom. Even if someone is arrested, they are all salutes first and then soldiers.

Xiao He was noncommittal, smiled indifferently, and nodded at the Jinyi guard above.

Cheng Qianqiu in front of him can be regarded as young and promising, only twenty-four years old, he has already achieved the position of the commander-in-chief of Jinyiwei, and the natural heroism between his eyebrows cannot be concealed.

After all, there is no evidence in Cheng Qianqiu's hands to prove that it was Xiao He who set the fire, Xiao He's crime has not been decided, so Xiao He cannot be tried as a prisoner, Xiao He sits in the position where Jinyiwei sits on weekdays, the current state of the two people, there is no meaning of interrogation, but it is like a general conversation.

"If there is anything you want to ask, you must know everything below." Xiao He looked at Cheng Qianqiu's eyes seriously, if he dragged it out like this, maybe he would be able to find out the source of this matter.

"Why did Lord Xiao appear in the Royal Ancestral Hall?"

"After the early dynasty, a little eunuch stopped me at the gate of the main hall, saying that the emperor had something important to look for me and asked me to go with him. I didn't know it, it was a royal ancestral hall. As for the little eunuch, many ministers saw him coming to me, and it should not be difficult to find a witness on this point. ”

Xiao He calmly stated what had just happened, under the effect of the fire oil, the fire in the ancestral hall was too fierce, and he was inevitably burned on his body.

Just now, I supported my wrist and rolled out of the window, but the wooden window had already burned, so I burned such a large piece fiercely, and there was still a faint pain.

Cheng Qianqiu gave her a simple bandage, which was interesting enough.

"But Lord Xiao, although there are ministers who can prove that there were little eunuchs who went to inform the emperor of the emperor's will after the early dynasty, it can't prove everything you said later."

Xiao He in front of him made him a little confused, whether he was too scheming and good at hiding himself, or whether he really looked at these things too lightly, so he had such an indifferent expression.

In Xiao He's heart, he is indeed not in a hurry. How to deal with officials above the fourth grade is to be decided by the emperor himself, not that he can say it as a leader of the Jinyi Guard, what Xiao He wants to know more is who wants to frame him and what is the purpose.

That's right, from the moment the little eunuch appeared, Xiao He knew that this was a trap for someone to harm him, but Xiao He didn't directly kill the little eunuch, just wanted to know how many people secretly wanted to kill her.

The longer the case drags on and is not handled, the more likely it is that the black hand behind the scenes will show his feet and act again.

"That's right, no one can prove me, then ask the commander of the Jinyi Guard to find out the truth of the matter and return my innocence." Xiao He smiled lightly, the people of Jinyiwei are not stupid, they can arrive at the scene so quickly, someone must have reported the news, it seems that they have to continue to drag on......

"Become an adult!" Mu Qingwan hurriedly broke in, she really regretted it, she really shouldn't have listened to Duan Shengyi's words in a daze, until she was stopped by Duan Shengyi when she wanted to go to the imperial brother just now, Mu Qingwan realized that she was being used by her, and then she reacted.

"Your Highness the Princess." The expression of the brocade guard in front of him changed instantly, and he respectfully walked in front of Mu Qingwan and saluted.

"I'll take a look at Brother Xiao He, if you have any questions, just continue to ask." Mu Qingwan couldn't say it directly in front of Xiao He, she sent someone to set this fire, so she could only help Xiao He when Cheng Qianqiu interrogated.

Xiao He picked up the teacup in his hand and looked at the two people in front of him, Cheng Qianqiu's eyes stared at Mu Qingwan in front of him in a daze, he probably hadn't seen her for a few months.

Xiao He took a sip gently, well, the tea leaves here in Cheng Qianqiu have no aroma, too, a group of military generals, where does the leisure come from to taste tea every day.

Xiao He glanced at it with his spare eyes, and smiled shallowly, he could see the affection in Cheng Qianqiu's eyes, the kind of friendship between men and women, Xiao He couldn't have seen more.

is different from the seriousness when he handled the case just now, his kind of liking for Mu Qingjuan makes others see that he absolutely can't ignore his mind.

The matter is so big, even Princess Qingwan is here, it seems that this matter is getting more and more interesting.

Although Cheng Qianqiu's eyes never left Mu Qingwan, at the same time, the questions in his mouth never relaxed, but from beginning to end, they were all routine questions, and he did not deliberately make things difficult for Xiao He.

Xiao He suddenly began to have a little admiration for the man in front of him, and everyone in the government and the opposition knew that Xiao He was Mu Qingwan's future concubine.

This Qianqiu is fond of Mu Qingjuan, but he didn't deliberately make Xiao He the slightest trouble in the process of investigation, he is indeed a good official who does things impartially, no wonder he will be sharp and aggressive in anti-corruption and anti-corruption, offending countless officials in the DPRK, it seems that he is also a chess piece used by Mu Churan to weigh the power of all parties in the DPRK.

"Lord Xiao, I just saw your coat, although I can smell the smell of fire oil all over your body from a distance, but there is no fire oil left on you, if you sprinkle fire oil, your body will be more or less stained with a little bit, the moment the fire ignites, the clothes on Xiao He's body are absolutely impossible to burn only between the sleeves, from this point of view, your suspicion has indeed been reduced a lot, but ......"

"Ahem!" Mu Qingwan coughed heavily, "But what?" Since the fire oil was not spilled by Brother Xiao He, then this fire must not be put by Brother Xiao He, so you should release it quickly!

Mu Qingwan is not bad-hearted, even very simple and kind, but after all, she is a princess, she has been spoiled too much since she was a child, she has no sense of proportion in her speech, and she has always blindly followed her own logic to do things. That's why Xiao He is reluctant to get close to her.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, the matter has not been investigated clearly, and Lord Xiao cannot leave for the time being." Cheng Qianqiu asked for most of the day, but there was no way to prove Xiao He's innocence, and there was no way to say that this fire was set by Xiao He. He really has no way to accommodate Mu Qingwan in this kind of thing.

After all, it is a business matter, if you blindly follow Mu Qingwan's wishes, you will go against your original intention of being an official.

Xiao He was full of smiles, but comforted Cheng Qianqiu, "Just ask, Lord Cheng, I've already said it, I know everything." ”

Mu Qingwan was a little angry, and when she heard Xiao He speak, she sat down again.

"May I ask who has Lord Xiao been with recently?"

The arson prisoner stayed at the fire scene, and his body was burned with heavy wounds, seeing that Xiao He in front of him had no motive for arson at all, and there was nothing like the behavior of a prisoner, but he was the only one at the scene.

It's really like someone has designed it and fallen into a trap.

Can...... What if I arrived a little late?
