Emperor Yongle glanced at Bai Hanyan inquiringly, as if he understood something, but he didn't break it, just teased: "I didn't expect Duan Aiqing to care so much about this little official, and he actually maintained it everywhere." ”

Duan Changge chuckled and was silent.

After a pause, the emperor suddenly shouted at Bai Hanyan, who had been looking down behind him: "Raise your head!" ”

Emperor Yongle shouted violently, which made Bai Hanyan startled, and he couldn't figure out the emperor's thoughts, so he had to kneel on the ground with a weak robe and kowtow.

Duan Changge was also shocked in his heart, but his face was as usual, he knew that the emperor's joy and anger had always been impermanent, and he didn't know what kind of temptation it would be this time, according to the fluctuation in his heart, he observed the emperor's expression coldly.

"Han Aiqing, I'm curious, on the Jinluan Palace that day, I just said casually, why are you so concerned about Lin Zhifan's case?"

Bai Hanyan's heart moved slightly, she really didn't care much about the scene of the day, she just wanted to seize any opportunity to find out her father's unjust case, in the eyes of others, maybe she was young and eager to show herself in front of the saint, but the emperor's mind was so deep, how could he not doubt it.

After a few turns in her heart, Bai Hanyan slowly raised her head from the ground, her face was still timid, and she said slowly: "Weichen just wants to share the emperor's worries and find out ......"

"I don't want to listen to lies, don't prevaricate with lies, I want to know your true purpose."

The last two words Yongle Emperor deliberately put it seriously, as if it meant something, Bai Hanyan's heart jumped violently, and he raised his head in horror, only to see the sun shadow in the imperial study in a trance, and the face of the slender old man on the dragon chair was as straight as that of Judge Yama, staring at her like two torches, and the mixed anger made people shudder.

Bai Hanyan hurriedly lowered her head, no longer half a point to act, she really trembled, as the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, Emperor Longwei is really terrifying and terrifying, she pursed her lips and hesitated, Bai Hanyan exhaled slightly, calmed down and raised her eyes to Emperor Yongle's gaze, and said word by word: "Lin Zhifan is Weichen's father-killing enemy, so when Weichen heard His Majesty's mention, he would stand up desperately, and Weichen wanted to know who killed him." ”

In this sentence, Bai Hanyan said every word sonorously, but he told the truth.

Duan Changge stared at her out of the corner of his eyes, although he was smiling, his face was a little cloudy under the flow of sunlight.

Emperor Yongle was a little surprised, his eyes narrowed, and his silent gaze slowly swept over Bai Hanyan's face: "Lin Zhifan is a thousand households in Jinyi, and the court is the third grade, how can he kill your father, does he have any special identity?" ”

Bai Hanyan was not in a hurry or impatient, knowing that Emperor Yongle would definitely suspect it, he raised his eyes and looked clear at the moment, and said: "Many years ago, Lin Zhifan was only a Jinyi Wei Ti ride, Weichen's family lived in the capital, the family was just ordinary people, although the days were not rich but also healthy, one day his father and mother came home from the market, unfortunately met Jin Yiwei on a mission, the high horse iron rode through the market and walked like a line to the official road, but the people on the set fled in all directions, in the chaos, his father unfortunately died under Lin Zhifan's iron horse, leaving only his mother alone, Looking at the back of the brocade guard who was angry in fresh clothes, he wanted to cry without tears! The reason why Wechen wants to be an official is also to find him an explanation, but unfortunately, I only blame Wechen for being young at the time, and when Wechen became an adult, Lin Zhifan also died tragically. Now, Wechen didn't think about Lin Zhifan's Wechen, but when he heard His Majesty mention it, Wechen couldn't help but want to know who the enemy died in that day, find his bones, and bury him next to his father's grave to end this injustice. ”

Emperor Yongle was silent when he heard this, his brows were frowning very high, Bai Hanyan peeked at his expression, and saw that his eyebrows were solemn as if he was groaning, and he knew that he had already believed the story he said, this matter was not fake, Jinyi Wei had always been arrogant, and she had really seen this matter! So, this time, she didn't tell a lie.

After a while, the emperor sighed slightly and said: "Jinyiwei is carrying out major events related to the fortunes of the country, and his behavior is inevitably frivolous, which is really my negligence. ”

Bai Hanyan knelt down and kowtowed, and said: "Weichen is frightened, he doesn't dare to accuse Jinyiwei, he only blames his father for his thin life." ”

Emperor Yongle waved his hand to signal her to get up, rubbed his eyebrows, and looked at Duan Changge on the side with a smile on his face, his phoenix eyes were calm, but he always lowered his eyes calmly.

Emperor Yongle sighed and said: "Indeed, I have selfish intentions, when Lin Zhifan had an accident, it was when the former household servant Bai Jing hung the corruption and taxation incident, I was really sad, but I wanted to give him a chance, so I summoned the brocade guard to bring the white mirror to see, I wanted to ask him alone, but when Lin Zhifan found him, the white mirror hung himself and knew that he had no face, and committed suicide under the hanging plaque of the mirror at home, and the ten million taels of tax silver also disappeared with his death. What's more, for some reason, Lin Zhifan left the White Mansion and never came back. After the investigation, there was no result, and the case was shelved for five years......"

Emperor Yongle paused, his expression was a little sluggish on top of the dragon case, and it was difficult to hide his fatigue, Bai Hanyan lowered his head and lowered his eyes on the side, and tightened his fingers, she knew that her father's unjust case was a beginning from now on!

After a long time, Emperor Yongle spoke: "Above the court, the peaceful and prosperous scene, in fact, there is an undercurrent, I want to know the truth of some things, Han Tuiguan, this matter is not trivial, I ask you again, Lin Zhifan's case, do you really want to investigate?" ”

"I really want to check." Bai Hanyan took a step forward, said without hesitation, and was shocked to find that the low-hanging fingertips touched a wisp of coolness, it was Duan Changge's fingers, Bai Hanyan retracted his hand, raised his head lightly, and his eyes squinted at Duan Changge on the side, bumping into his unfathomable deep pupils, his heart was empty, and he looked away in a little panic.

"Okay." Emperor Yongle raised his head, smiled as if appreciative, and said, "I am waiting for your answer." ”

Out of the palace gate, Bai Hanyan and Duan Changge walked side by side, the sunlight fell on the ground, and the two shadows were entangled.

Bai Hanyan slowed down and wanted to stay away from him, but Duan Changge wanted to be closer to her, never an inch away from her.

Bai Hanyan stopped, raised his eyes to look at Duan Changge, bitter in his heart, pursed his lips and asked, "Lord Duan, but there is something you want to ask me?" ”

Duan Changge didn't speak, nor did he move. If Fang Cai's face was just cloudy, then he really couldn't find a trace of sunshine at this moment. His face was gloomy and expressionless, and even the curvature of the corners of his eyebrows and the long eyelashes could not hide the daunting chill under his eyes.

Duan Changge ......" Bai Hanyan pursed his lips.

"Han Yan, I hope one day you can tell me the truth." Duan Changge's voice was soft and cold, without the slightest emotion in it.

Bai Hanyan knew that he would have such emotions, from the moment she said those words or stepped into the capital, she knew that one day he would definitely doubt her.

"I'm telling the truth." Bai Hanyan slowly lowered his gaze, but Duan Changge suddenly turned his head to meet her gaze, and Bai Hanyan's heart trembled.

"I don't ask now, it doesn't mean that I don't doubt it, Han Yan, I'm waiting for the day when you take the initiative to tell me."

"What if...... There is not a day going on. Bai Hanyan looked at him, wanted to make a smile, hooked the corners of his lips, but gave up.

"Then don't let me find out, Han Yan, you'd better not let me down."

Duan Changge was still smiling, but his eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth curved hard, but he couldn't find half a minute of warmth, and he flicked his sleeves and left first.

Duanfu.

Bai Hanyan raised his head, looked at the two big characters with vermilion and gold, frowned slightly, Duan Changge stood at the door, and immediately a small servant slowly opened the door, and a middle-aged man about forty years old dressed as a housekeeper bowed to Duan Changge, and said, "General Duan is back." ”

Duan Changge waved his hand and said, "Duan Fu, clean up the two rooms, I'm tired and need to rest." ”

Duan Fu nodded hurriedly, and said, "General Duan, there are guests visiting, and now the hall is waiting." ”

Duan Changge paused when he entered the door, glanced at Bai Hanyan behind him, and said with a smile: "Oh, the movement is quite fast." ”

Bai Hanyan understood the deep meaning of his words at the moment, and sneered, with a holy decree, Ji Bangyue's movements were really fast.

The person who came was Wang Xi of the hundred households of Jinyi Wei, and Bai Hanyan knew him, and he was the one who took care of Lingji's brothers and sisters.

He saw Bai Hanyan and Duan Changge coming from the door side by side, and hurriedly got up to salute, and said, "Xiaguan participates in Lord Duan, Han Tuiguan." ”

Duan Changge waved his hand, slowly walked to the high chair in the hall, sat down with a shallow body, and said, "Brought something?" ”

Wang Xi held a green book of fire paint files in his hand, and there was a flying knife on it. Wang Xi stretched out his arms slightly to Bai Hanyan and said, "This is the file of Lin Qianhu's case back then, and it is the same evidence. ”

"Only these two?" Bai Hanyan walked over and took the green book file and the flying knife.

Wang Xi smiled and said: "Lin Qianhu's disappearance is strange and there are almost no clues, and the adults at that time almost used all their strength, but in the end they still found nothing. ”

Wang Xi glanced at Bai Hanyan and smiled even deeper: "So Xia Guan is even more curious, how Han Tuiguan will investigate the case that has been shelved for five years." I'm afraid it won't be too easy. ”

Bai Hanyan tilted his head and smiled, and said, "Don't worry about Wang Baihu, Han Yan will definitely do his best to investigate." ”

The corners of Wang Xi's mouth hooked a trace of ridicule: "Han Tuiguan, in fact, some things will not come to a conclusion if you don't do your best, just like the rebel Lingmiao brothers and sisters, who are still locked up in the edict prison." ”

Bai Hanyan's body trembled, she had been busy with Lin Zhifan's affairs in the past few days, and she actually put them aside, Lian'er was afraid that she had arrived in Beijing at the moment, and she didn't know where to stay, she should go and see it when she had time.

"The next official retired." Wang Xi saluted Duan Changge and got up to leave.

Bai Hanyan put his mind down, glanced at Duan Changge, and saw that his face had not changed, and he didn't know how he would plan to rescue Ling Ji.

Tightening the case file in his palm, Bai Hanyan also gave Duan Changge a salute and said, "Xiaguan ......"

Duan Changge glanced at her, and Bai Hanyan said in silence: "I'll go back and read Lin Zhifan's case file first." ”

Duan Changge retracted his gaze and waved his hand, and the housekeeper stepped forward to greet Bai Hanyan and said, "Lord Han, please." ”

Bai Hanyan nodded, got up and left with the housekeeper.
