Cheng Ruhai pondered for a moment, although everything was inferred before the case was clarified, but the stakes were very high, and he still had to report to the emperor.

"I'll leave the matter in prison to you," Cheng Ruhai looked at Li Xu, "If there is any emergency, you can use manpower first, and then inform me later." ”

Li Xu bowed down.

Cheng Ruhai knew that the emperor had summoned Li Xu, and he was afraid that he would be entrusted with important tasks to Li Xu in the future, and he was really reluctant to have such a capable subordinate.

Cheng Ruhai said: "Whether it is Huijing, Song Chengxuan, or the Marquis of Anyi, we can't fully believe that we are protégés of the Son of Heaven, and we must be careful in everything, the emperor is still counting on us, and we can't be ashamed of the emperor's grace." ”

Li Xu said: "The subordinates remembered. He said goodbye and withdrew.

Cheng Ruhai immediately sat down and began to play some twists and turns.

……

Li Xu came out of Cheng Ruhai's house.

"Master Li," an official immediately stepped forward, "someone from your house has come to deliver food." ”

Li Xu walked out of the yamen and saw Miss Li's carriage and horse parked aside.

"Eldest sister." Li Xu bowed.

Miss Li said: "Look at the two days have lost weight, you can't just take care of official business, but also pay attention to your body, I heard that the food in the yamen is not very good, so I asked the cook to make some for you, how about it?" Can you go home tonight? ”

Li Xu has been living in the criminal department for several days, and this morning he sent the little maid back to get clean clothes, and when Miss Li heard about this situation, she asked her to make some food and come to visit Li Xu.

Li Xu said: "I'm afraid it will be a few days, is the eldest sister ready to leave the capital?" ”

"Don't go," Miss Li smiled, "I'll talk about it in a few days." "Shen Congrong has already left for the capital, and the second master is bound to meet General Shen.

"One more thing to tell you."

Li Xu was about to send Miss Li away, but he heard such a sentence.

He looked up just in time to see a person coming out of the carriage, the woman had a round bun, a hairpin on her head, a blue dress, and a gray squirrel cloak on the outside, and saw a kind smile on Li Xu's face.

"Mother." Li Xu couldn't help but be surprised, seeing that the Chinese New Year was coming, and the family was so busy, he never thought that his mother would come to the capital.

Li Xu walked a few steps quickly and helped Mrs. Li get out of the carriage.

Mrs. Li stared at her son, only to see him in an official uniform, her eyes couldn't help but light up a little, and then she was even more distressed when she saw that he was a little emaciated: "Sure enough, as your eldest sister said, you have lost a lot of weight, son, you have to take care of yourself outside, so that your mother can feel at ease." ”

After Mrs. Li said this, she couldn't help coughing.

Li Xu said: "Mother, is this an old disease? ”

Mrs. Li nodded, her eyes full of comfort: "It's okay, it's much better, thanks to the medicine stone sent by the Kong family, my illness can be considered stable." ”

"You shouldn't be so tired when you're sick."

As soon as Li Xu's voice fell, Miss Li also said: "Before I came to Beijing, I persuaded my aunt, and I thought that my aunt would not come, but I didn't expect that my aunt was still relieved of the ninth brother." ”

"Not exactly," Mrs. Li said gently, "it just so happens that Jiurou is here, and I went to Kyori to see the disease." ”

Miss Li couldn't help but purse her lips and smile: "Auntie is right, you don't feel sorry for the ninth brother, you have something to do." ”

Mrs. Li deliberately looked at Miss Li with a straight face: "It's all mothers, and they're still so naughty," Speaking of this, she looked at her son carefully, "Don't be too tired, mother is waiting for you at home." ”

Li Xu responded.

Mrs. Li took Miss Li's hand: "Let's go, let's go back and talk." ”

Li Xu helped Mrs. Li get into the car, watched the carriage gradually move away, and then turned around and walked back to the yamen.

"Xu'er's case is going to be fine, right?" Mrs. Li asked Miss Li.

Miss Li said: "This case involves a lot, but the ninth brother is so smart, my aunt can rest assured." Having said this, there was inevitably a little worry in his eyes.

Mrs. Li clenched her handkerchief slightly, this is why she came to Beijing, the lord said that when there is a big case, those dignitaries and dignitaries will not come out, and the things that are not good will be pushed to those officials who have no family background, she is afraid that Jiulang will be too laborious, although she can not help much, at least she can take care of Jiulang.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Li muttered, "Jiulang has become a family, and if I find a wife who can take care of him, I will be able to feel at ease." ”

Miss Li also smiled and said yes.

When she arrived at Li's house, Mrs. Li was just about to get out of the car when she saw someone coming forward.

Miss Yu San was stunned when she saw Mrs. Li: "Mrs. You're in Beijing, I'm ...... I'm waiting for the second grandmother here. ”

Miss Yusan's face turned crimson, but she immediately reacted and squatted down to salute.

The more Mrs. Li looked at it, the more happy she felt: "I heard that Miss Yu San also came to Beijing, but I didn't expect to meet so soon, it seems that I won't be bored in Beijing." ”

Miss Yu San said: "The second grandmother bought a yard next to it, I saw a carriage coming, so I stepped forward to check ......"

Mrs. Li smiled: "I know," said to see Miss Li, "Didn't the Kong family buy a house in Beijing?" How do you want to buy a yard again? ”

Miss Li said: "The old house has been empty for too long, so I asked a craftsman to repair it, because I had to change the tiles, and the yard was a mess, so I simply moved out to live, and I also thought that I would take care of Jiulang, and it would be better to live closer, so I rented the yard next to it."

In the past few days, the family has been busy, and my aunt is here, and I happen to come to talk to my aunt every day, which can be regarded as a quiet. ”

The three of them walked into the courtyard as they spoke.

While Mrs. Li was changing her clothes and freshening up, Miss Li looked at Miss Yu San: "Are you in a hurry?" ”

"It's nothing," Miss Yu San said, "I'm just here to talk to the second grandmother, I see that the Kong family has a lot of people...... The end of the year is approaching, I have heard about several thefts, and the second grandmother should be careful. ”

"There are also many thefts at the feet of the Son of Heaven?" Mrs. Li changed her clothes and walked out of the separation, just in time to hear Miss Yusan's words.

Miss Yu San got up: "Every time there is a big case, Shuntianfu is busy, and those thieves will come out to make trouble, so you have to be careful." ”

Mrs. Li bowed: "It's still Miss Yu San's thoughtfulness," she said and sat down to take a sip of tea, "You guys come over for a few days first, you know more than me, what's going on with the case handled by Xu'er?" Talk to me about it. ”

Miss Li nodded.

……

Anyi Marquis Mansion.

Xu Qinghuan sat in the courtyard of Qingling Dao Chang and looked at the pills refined on the table, which on the surface looked exactly the same as those taken from the Zhang family.

Mr. Liao didn't expect that Daoist Qingling would make progress so quickly: "It's okay now, and I will be a little more sure of treating the eldest lady." ”

"I'm going to try again," Qingling said, "This kind of thing is not trivial, and if you get it wrong, you may harm the eldest lady." ”

Mr. Liao looked at the recipe for making pills in his hand, and slowly frowned: "Some of these medicines seem to have been said by that person, could it be so coincidental...... and that man...... The pill that is refined is the same? ”
