Xia Qingtong won't comfort people, but she can understand, really can.

She seems to understand a little bit of how the later tyrant Ming Yue came about.

Her movements were a little abrupt, Ming Yue looked at Xia Qingtong in his arms, his body was petite, just as high as his chest.

She's so petite, so soft.

He slowly raised his hand and gently hugged her back.

At this moment, the two of them didn't say anything, but they were worth a thousand words.

While he was still moving, there was a sound of footsteps outside. Ming Yue let go of his hand, and Xia Qingtong withdrew from his arms.

"Your Highness. Qihu is back. ”

The unfamiliar name made Xia Qingtong glance at Ming Yue, but found that Ming Yue's expression had completely changed at this moment.

Soon the one named Qihu came in, the guard was dressed up, and his facial features were completely unrecognizable.

"Your Highness." After Qihu came in, he knelt on one knee and was about to speak, when he saw Xia Qingtong standing aside, he stopped again.

"Defenseless. Tell the story. ”

Qihu's expression remained unchanged, but there were turbulent waves in his heart. His Royal Highness has always been cold and cold, when will he bring a woman by his side?

Although this woman is dressed as a man, as a secret guard, he can see the identity of the other party at a glance.

It was enough to surprise him that His Highness brought a woman, and what was even more shocking was that His Highness trusted this woman so much.

In the time he was away from Beijing, it seemed that a lot of things had happened.

"Your Highness." Since Ming Yue didn't mind, he naturally had nothing to dodge, so he took out a stack of letters from his arms and presented them: "Fortunately, I don't lose my life." ”

"Okay." Ming Yue took the stack of envelopes: "Good job." ”

"It's the duty of subordinates." After Qihu finished speaking, he took out two more account books: "Your Highness, this is what you want to know, the salt mine account book, they thought it was burned, but their subordinates had already taken it away before they burned it." ”

"You've worked hard. Go and rest. Taking over the account book in the other party's hand, Ming Yue knew that with these two things, whether it was Zheng Xing's father and son, or the Yin family in the capital, don't want to break away.

After Qihu left, Xia Qingtong looked at the things in his hand with sparkling eyes: "The account book of the salt mine? This is amazing. ”

"yes."

Ming Yue flipped it over casually and sneered.

"These people have a really big appetite."

Xia Qingtong leaned over and took a look, and was shocked by the numbers on it.

"It's-"

So Zhuang Yushi reported before, and the silver taels he said were less?

Ming Yue put these things away, and looked at Xia Qingtong again: "The matter is settled, and we can go back to Beijing with this." ”

"Really?"

Xia Qingtong didn't come out for a long time, but these two experiences were really exciting.

She admits that her little heart can't stand such stimulation. Not to mention that she was on the mountain that day, just the one just now was enough for her to be scared.

"You go back and rest first."

Ming Yue didn't miss the tiredness in her eyes, for a little girl like her who was pampered in the boudoir, all the experiences today were too exciting.

"Okay." Xia Qingtong is indeed tired, but: "What about you?" You don't rest? ”

"I'll let them take care of the rest."

Although the evidence is there, he can't just go back to the capital, he still has important things to arrange.

"Yes."

The successive assassinations in the past two days made Xia Qingtong understand Ming Yue's situation. Some things must be well arranged.

………

Although Chen Dong is sleek, he is a little opportunistic and afraid. But you can't be stupid to be a servant of the ministry. Not to mention that there is also Li Liang, the squire of the criminal department, by his side.

The two left Mingyue's courtyard and discussed.

This must have been done by Zheng Xing, who was involved in the salt mine and was afraid of being exposed. simply didn't do anything and didn't stop attacking Ming Yue.

When he left Beijing, Chen Dong got an appointment from Emperor Qingren. Can be done cheaply.

He transferred the general soldiers of Lucheng, and together with the general soldiers of Lucheng, he led the troops to surround Zheng Xing's Taishou Mansion.

All the cadres of the Taishou Mansion were detained.

When Zheng Xing heard Chen Dong's words, he almost didn't pee.

"The next night official is wronged. If you give me a hundred guts, I won't dare to assassinate Your Highness. ”

Involved in the salt mine, it is said that the sky is corrupt and dirty, and there are people above it.

But assassinating the prince is a big crime of the Nine Clans. How could he admit it?

"The lower official is wronged. The lower officials have been wronged—"

No matter how much he was wronged, Chen Dong didn't pay attention to it, and Ming Yue didn't know if he could survive.

If he can't catch the murderer, I'm afraid that he will die after he goes back with Li Liang.

It's just that they just detained Zheng Xing and his party, and were thinking about how to deal with it when they returned to Beijing, when Ming Yue came.

"Your Highness?"

"Six, Your Highness Six?"

The two pillars of the building, their eyes were as wide as copper bells. After looking at each other, they looked at Ming Yue together: "Are you okay?" ”

"What? Do you want me to have something? ”

"The lower officials don't dare." The two adults were frightened and fell to the ground together: "Fortunately, Your Highness is fine." This is His Royal Highness's auspicious nature, and he has the blessing of the emperor. ”

Blessed by the Emperor? It's better to say that Xia Qingtong saved his life, which is correct.

"Sixth Highness, the lower officials have detained the murderer Zheng Xing's family in the mansion. How to deal with it is still up to His Highness to decide. ”

Ming Yue looked at them, and suddenly hooked his lips and smiled: "Who told you that the person who wanted to kill me was Zheng Xing's?" ”

Chen Dong and Li Liang had a chill on their backs: "This-"

"Zheng Xing is not so bold. But if someone does, you don't want to know who it is. ”

Chen and Li slammed their heads on the ground, they didn't dare to raise their heads, and their faces turned pale.

None of them were stupid, Ming Yue's words made them tremble.

"I don't know."

"If this murderer dares to come and kill me, he will dare to kill you—"

Seeing the fear in the eyes of the two, Ming Yue smiled: "What? Do you think you don't dare? I can return to Beijing safely, but not with the two adults. ”

Chen and Li, who were frightened by Ming Yue's words, began to tremble, and bowed down again: "Please ask Your Highness for help." ”

"It's not hard for me to save you—"

Ming Yue suddenly bent down and looked at the two: "I have a plan, not only to save the lives of the two of you." It can also allow you to be rewarded after returning to the capital. But there's one condition—"

Chen Dong and Li Liang glanced at each other, raised their heads together, and looked at Ming Yue with firm eyes.

"The lower officials are willing to drive for His Highness, and he will never give up."

Ming Yue looked at the two of them with satisfaction, hooked the corners of his lips, and smiled very happily.

………………

Xia Qingtong slept until noon the next day. When I woke up, I found that I was not in another courtyard, but in the post station in Lucheng.

Needless to say, Ming Yue must have brought her over.

It's just that I didn't expect her to sleep so deeply.

Sakura heard her voice and walked in quickly.

"The girl is awake? Get ready and you're ready to go. ”

"Go?" Xia Qingtong looked outside: "Where are you going?" ”
