The mourning family disagrees, Xuanzhi, if you like that person, just marry her back to the house and be a side concubine. That's also the identity of being able to get on the royal jade butterfly, how many people can't ask for it" The Queen Mother was originally a little happy when she saw Xiao Qinglang, but when she heard his intention, she suddenly felt a little unhappy in her heart.

In fact, before today, the Queen Mother had also heard of Xu Chu's legendary stories. In addition, the emperor and the queen mentioned it from time to time, so she also had a good impression of the woman.

But no matter how much favor she has, she can't stop her from feeling that a lowly autopsy woman is not worthy of her adopted son. Even if he is just an adopted son, he has grown up in front of him since he was a child, and he is the prince raised by Jin Zunyu.

What's more, listening to King Jing'an's intentions, he didn't want the woman to give up the errand of the yamen after passing through the door. In other words, after she marries into the Jing'an Palace, she will show up and even mingle with corpses all day long.

This matter is something that the Queen Mother, who has always respected the rules, cannot agree with.

Xiao Qinglang saw that the queen was angry, if it weren't for the fact that he felt sorry for him running around all the year round, he was afraid that he would have a seizure in the court. He sighed in his heart, and his face took on a little sadness.

At this moment, the palace people who were waiting in the Queen Mother's palace came up with tea, and when they placed the tea on the coffee table next to Xiao Qinglang, they suddenly lost their hands and dropped the whole cup of tea to the ground. The orange tea instantly spread on Xiao Qinglang's clothes, mixed with a little stretching of tea leaves, making Xiao Qinglang look a little embarrassed.

The Queen Mother was anxious, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, is Xuanzhi injured?" ”

Xiao Qinglang smiled bitterly and shook his head, looked at the trembling palace maid on the ground and said, "It's not in the way, and the queen mother doesn't have to blame others, it's Xuanzhi who didn't catch the teacup just now." ”

When he said this, it made the Queen Mother more and more anxious. This adopted son of her own family, others don't know, but she knows it very well, although her skills are not as good as some masters in the palace, but she is not a powerless person.

The cup of tea just now, if the palace maid inadvertently fell down, according to his vigilance and temperament, it should be easy to dodge.

Thinking of this, she had a little worry on her face, "Xuanzhi, I heard the emperor say that you went outside to investigate the case this time, and you also rushed to find Doctor Chu halfway?" But hurt? ”

Xiao Qinglang sighed and said, "The queen mother doesn't have to worry about her son, since she joined the Three Law Divisions, her sons have been prepared for the danger of dying at any time." There is only one way, as long as the imperial brother allows me to serve in the Three Law Divisions for one day, I will let the imperial brother rule Qingming."

"Bah, bah, don't talk nonsense." When the Queen Mother saw that he suddenly said something depressing, she hurriedly waved her hand to signal him to stop.

Xiao Qinglang smiled when he saw this, "The queen mother has such a sad expression, her son has been working in the Three Law Division for several years, and the danger he encounters is not as simple as poisoning and assassination. If it weren't for God's love, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to say these words to the queen mother at this time. ”

"In fact, Erchen has never said to anyone, as early as the trip to Yunnan to cut the domain, Erchen regarded every day as the last day. It is precisely because of this that the sons and daughters have repeatedly refused the marriage of the queen mother and the royal brother. Since Erchen has chosen the road of prison, it is natural that he should not delay a woman's life any longer. What's more, if you want the world to be just in prison, you must be iron-faced and selfless, and you must not let any family be bound by love. Xiao Qinglang looked at the Queen Mother's frowning expression and said softly, "But Erchen met Xu Chu." ”

"This time the investigation of the case, the process is dangerous, and the cruelty of the murderer is what Erchen has seen since he became sensible, and even made Erchen afraid. Under such circumstances, Xu Chu is willing to walk with his sons, fearless in life and death, how can his sons not be grateful? ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly got up and knelt on the ground, kowtowed heavily and said, "The queen mother is from a big family, so she naturally knows how dangerous the position of her sons is. How many times in the past have sons and daughters escaped death, and how many times will they be on the verge of despair in the future, so sons and daughters courted their mothers to fulfill their wishes in marriage. ”

"Since Erchen's life is not destined to go well, why can't he seek a smooth relationship in emotional matters? Even if Erchen encounters an accident one day, he still will not leave regrets. ”

He said it sadly, and even a little hasty, which made the Queen Mother's heart throb.

Harem women are not allowed to interfere in politics, not to mention that she also knows that the emperor, who is a parent, needs such a loyal brother to help him. So she couldn't say anything to get him to resign from the position of the Three Law Divisions, let alone so.

The Queen Mother looked at the adopted son who was as handsome as the moon in front of the person kneeling on the ground, exuding inexplicable sorrow all over her body, and all the lust and guilt suddenly became helpless and distressed.

It may be that she is old and will always think of the past.

Although his son also suffered setbacks when he was young, as the crown prince, he has many people to protect him. And King Qi sits in the border all the year round, but he also has a mother concubine when he was a child. Only Xiao Qinglang has never felt his mother's love since he was a child, even

Thinking of this, the seriousness she barely maintained collapsed with a bang. After being silent for a long time, she spoke, "The mourning family knows, but Xu Chu is now an official of the imperial court, and his identity is different, whether he wants to give you a marriage depends on the emperor's intentions." ”

Although he didn't directly agree, he was relieved.

Xiao Qinglang saw that the Queen Mother was tired, and he felt a little unbearable, but in the end, he could only kowtow respectfully and kneel.

It wasn't until the emperor came to find the Queen Mother to talk about this matter, and he didn't encounter the Queen Mother's reproach at all, that he knew that Xiao Qinglang had used a bitter trick. In the end, he could only give the Queen Mother a lot of precious medicinal materials and objects under the instructions of the Queen Mother.

Of course, that's all for later.

Let's say that after returning to the Three Law Division, Xiao Qinglang first summoned Tang Qiaozheng and Sikong Han and others to come.

"The last person you saw before Dong Ruiyang's death that you tracked down yesterday, do you have an eyebrow?"

"Lord Wang, the lower officials went to Furong Zhai to inquire according to what Master Tang said, but Furong Zhai said that there were no small servants who came to the prison to deliver food yesterday. So when the Dong family sent someone to deliver the silver, they were also very surprised. Seeing Xiao Qinglang's question, Sikong Han hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "In addition, the lower official took someone to personally check the guys in Furong Zhai, and there were no patients with joint pain and paralysis in bed. ”

"Did someone order a meal yesterday?"

"According to the information that Lord Xu checked the remaining rice residues in Dong Ruiyang's stomach, Xia Guan checked the meals that were ordered and taken away before Furong Zhai noon, and found that only the Hou Guohou sent someone to order a similar meal."

"Protector?" Xiao Qinglang's expression froze, and his pupils suddenly contracted. This news really came as a surprise to him.

Not to mention him, even Xu Chu was a little stunned.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Qinglang asked again, "Is there any news from the medical hall?" ”

Sikong Han shook his head, "I haven't noticed anything wrong yet. It's just that Xia Guan secretly asked the doctor of the Protector's Mansion, and learned that the Protector Marquis had suffered a lot of pain due to the early years of the battle in the frontier, so many recipes would put the turtle. ”

In other words, the most suspicious person at the moment has become the protector.

Xiao Qinglang secretly thought in his heart that the wife of the Protector Mansion had indeed been troubled by Concubine Dong Guifei back then. Moreover, it seems that Aunt Hong, who is next to the Marquis of the Protector, is from the Dong family

Maybe there is something to do with this, it seems that he will have to meet the protector later.

After a long silence, Xiao Qinglang replied and asked, "What's the news over there in Zhou Ji?" ”

Sikong Han replied, "The master who made dim sum has been brought back to the Criminal Department, and the lower officials sent someone to search his residence, and found two ingots of official silver and a piece of silk wrapped in official silver. Xia Guan asked people to find the embroidery lady to check, the silk cloth is not for ordinary people to use, it should be a tribute from the palace"

As soon as the word official silver came out, the hall was already solemn. If it involves officials from the DPRK and China at this time, then the matter will be big.

In the past, Xiao Qinglang was not without danger, and there were naturally times when people who were officials in the court killed them. However, there has never been a time when it has been so blatant, or even left such a big flaw.

But anyone with a little brains should know that it is necessary to make complete preparations for Xiao Qinglang's attack, and even if he does not succeed, he must not be able to see the clues.

But now there is an official silver matter

Official silver is different from ordinary silver, and most of it is used by local taxes to enter the national treasury. The official silver must be engraved with the words of the official silver logo, and the people, officials, private individuals, and organizations are not allowed to mint and use the official silver without permission, otherwise they will be convicted of treason like the people involved in the copper mine case.

Most of the official silver is used for military salaries, official salaries, palace use, and disaster relief, and once it is allocated to the national treasury, it needs to be melted once to refine new silver ingots, which is the so-called "fire consumption". Any official silver that has not been burned out cannot be circulated in the market, let alone in the hands of an ordinary dim sum chef.

And the silk silk that pulled the palace made the stone in everyone's hearts even heavier. This matter seems to be full of loopholes and evidence, but it is biased and suspicious, which makes people jealous.

Xiao Qinglang took the official silver and silk silk handed over by Sikong Han, and after a little inspection, he buckled it on the desk, "The official salary of the Great Zhou Dynasty is issued once every six months, and the day before yesterday was the time when the official silver was issued, and many families have never had time to consume the official silver in one day. Even if it has been re-cast, most of them are helped by a special silversmith. Send people to the offices of various officials to inquire, and if there are those who have not been smelted, they must count the amount of official silver in person. If there is a casting, the silversmith must hand over the accounts, and the two items will be checked"
