Chapter Eighty-Eight: Invitation to Return to Southern Xinjiang
Bai Wushuang was holding a bowl of fragrant oolong tea, with no extra expression on his face except for solemnity, and his eyes were half-lowered, unable to see the emotions under his eyes.
"Now you know what the situation is in the court, the king of southern Xinjiang and the emperor are now strung together, bent on putting us to death, and your suspicion still exists."
Chi Jingyu turned his head to look at Bai Wushuang's face, his eyes a little helpless.
He naturally knew that the two above regarded them as a thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh, and wanted to get rid of them and prevent future troubles.
Soon, his eyes turned pale, and the corners of his mouth hooked an arc that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.
Since they can create such "evidence", then we can naturally make real evidence, and there will always be evidence left in correspondence, there will always be witnesses to see it, and there will definitely be some careless guy who leaves out the burned confetti...... Aren't there a few people in the Criminal Department? ”
When Bai Wushuang heard this, he naturally smiled, like a spirited fox.
"Worthy of being my man, pretty."
Saying that, Bai Wushuang put down his teacup and walked to the back hall, "I'm going to ask someone to handle this matter." ”
Then the people in the Criminal Department received a large amount of evidence, including testimonies from villagers near the post house, as well as unburned notes from the post house flower hall, on which there were terrifying words.
The villagers dressed in linen stood at the bottom of the stage in an orderly manner, some of them bowed their heads weakly, and their shoulders trembled badly because of fear.
"Grass people, grass people's sentences are true, there is no lie."
Chi Jingyu was naturally present, and the one sitting in the hall was the Dali Siqing of Zheng Sanpin, whose slightly bloated body was breaking out in a cold sweat.
"Tell me word for word what you saw that day, and if anything is not true, I will ask you."
After speaking, Chi Jingyu turned around and smiled at Dali Siqing, who was sitting in the hall, with a look neither humble nor arrogant.
"It's all up to Dali Temple to decide."
Dali Siqing's face was also a false smile, and he waved his hand, indicating that it was okay.
"You...... Say what you know, as the general wills. ”
The villager nodded slightly, and without the slightest pause, he told the story.
"On that day, when the grass people came home from the harvest and walked in the fields very close to the post house, I saw a pigeon flying out of the south window, but the grass people did not see clearly that it was the south window, and when they looked at the appearance of the pigeon, they knew that it was not a suckling pigeon, but a carrier pigeon, and there were things tied to their feet."
"Later, there was another incident, and the grass people came to report to the official......"
Before the villagers could finish their words, they were interrupted by the guards rushing in from outside.
"Report, there is a new situation, and I found a note in the garden of the post house that was not burned."
As soon as this sentence came out, Dali Siqing's face changed many times, he naturally knew the inside story, and the planting was about to be completed, but who knew that now so much evidence has jumped out one after another.
Chi Jingyu looked at Dali Siqing, who was surprised, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, with a sense of mockery.
"Then why are you still stunned! Hurry up and bring it up! ”
The guard was also stunned by his coercion, and presented the note before he could figure out what was going on.
The small piece of paper with the burnt yellow edge clearly written on it was the words "Planting Tianxuan".
"Who is so bold to frame my Tianxuan's general, no, I have to report this matter to the emperor immediately!"
Dali Siqing looked at the note and knew that the matter could not be hidden, so he slammed the table and stood up, covering his heart with anger on his fleshy face.
Chi Jingyu didn't expose him, his thick eyebrows furrowed, and a worried look hung on his face.
"General Chi, you don't have to worry about this matter, I will go to tell the emperor immediately, and I will definitely be able to return your innocence!"
Dali Siqing symbolically comforted him, and then rushed to the palace in a blazing manner.
Chi Jingyu looked at the hurried back, the corners of his mouth hooked up with a touch of sarcasm, and then he leisurely returned to his general's mansion.
"The matter is settled, the emperor should introduce a new substitute for the dead ghost to replace this matter, and then it will be over."
Bai Wushuang glanced at the smug Chi Jingyu, there was not much emotion on her face, and the faint smile on the corner of her mouth betrayed her current mood.
Chi Jingyu picked up a piece of peach blossom cake and stuffed it into her mouth, "You are proud, you are still smiling so happily for such a trivial matter...... Let's try the freshly made peach blossom cake. ”
The two were playing in the General's Mansion, but the palace was a mess.
Yun Wangtian listened to Dali Siqing's narration, and his heart was also shocked.
If this matter spreads, it will definitely damage his majesty, and now I am afraid that Chi Jingyu will know about it, and his eyebrows are furrowed fiercely.
"It's really not enough to succeed, more than enough to fail, such a little thing can't be completed, what's the use of raising you!"
The stern shouting made the people standing below shudder fiercely, and hurriedly called the mistake.
"A bunch of useless waste, quickly push out the dead ghosts, and quickly close this case...... What are you doing in a daze! ”
There was another sound of angry rebuke and broken porcelain in the imperial study, and then several ministers came out of it in a cold sweat.
The case was quickly closed, and the ghost who had been substituted for death did not know what kind of crime he had committed, and a large number of comforting goods were sent to the general's mansion, and several guards carried boxes, large and small, to fill the front yard.
"This time the emperor has lost face, he will definitely find an opportunity to get it back from you, you have to be low-key these days, remember not to be in the limelight again."
Bai Wushuang looked at the dazzling items written on the exquisite gift list, and his eyes suddenly became a little cold, and he had a little more consideration.
"I know, I'll be careful, and so will you."
Bai Wushuang looked at Chi Jingyu's cold face, and immediately smiled, his smile was like a flower in April.
"You're still worried about me, just worry about yourself......"
"The emperor has suffered this loss, if we don't do something, he will definitely not give up!"
After speaking, Bai Wushuang took Chi Jingyu's hand and prepared to go to the direction of the city gate.
The two of them gave porridge to the victims in the name of the emperor, and the people in the city suddenly appreciated the emperor a lot, seeing such a scene, Yun Wangtian did not make further moves against the two of them.
A place for soup kitchen.
With dry and yellow hair, shabby and dirty clothes, and a pair of blank and confused eyes, Bai Wushuang was a little uncomfortable to see, and his speech was no longer imposing, and he spoke softly.
"Let's drink porridge, the weather has been cold recently, drink porridge to warm up your body."
A large stream of heat spread in the soup kitchen, which made people look a little unreal.
Chi Jingyu looked at Wushuang who was giving porridge, and her expression slowly softened, she always looked confident on weekdays, he had never seen such a sympathetic and painful expression, which made people feel uncomfortable.
His eyes were slightly constricted, even if he was wearing a very plain dress, Bai Wushuang still stood out in the crowd, and his face was also dyed with a faint warmth by the sun.
Looking at the bleak outside of the city, it can't be compared with the prosperity inside the city, and the people inside laugh and play all day long, singing and dancing, completely ignorant of the suffering of the world, and the chaos of the war in the frontier.
The flames were in full swing, how many people had nowhere to return to their homes and died, and they fled with their children and daughters, and finally arrived at the foot of the capital, but what stopped them was such a ridiculous and ridiculous reason that they could not disturb the order of the capital.
Chi Jingyu looked at the chaotic crowd, his hands clenched into fists, tightened little by little, the joints turned blue and white, he pulled up his sleeves and picked up a big pot of porridge and put it not far from Bai Wushuang, and shouted when he opened his throat.
"You can also get porridge here, come one by one, don't squeeze! There's something for everyone! ”
When the homeless people heard this voice, they all looked over there, and I don't know who said that it was General Tianxuan, and the crowd slowly became less restless, and went to the front of the shed one by one to receive porridge.
Bai Wushuang looked at Chi Jingyu with a patient expression, and knew that he felt uncomfortable, obviously he was a general, but he didn't protect his family and defend the country, looking at the refugees, he was naturally uncomfortable in his heart.
The porridge was almost finished, Bai Wushuang looked at the refugees who were no longer lifeless, and felt a little relieved, he was sitting by the city wall to take a cold, and then looked at Chi Jingyu where he was busy sweating, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Suddenly, there was a jerk on her shoulder, and Bai Wushuang immediately turned around and grabbed the man's wrist.
"Don't come unharmed! Saint! ”
The king of southern Xinjiang looked at her vigilantly, with an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, which made her feel a little infiltrated under this blue sky and white sun.
"It's the king of southern Xinjiang! I thought it was a gangster, why, the king of southern Xinjiang greeted him so silently? ”
The king of Nanjiang didn't care about her tone, and the smile on his face became friendly, but it always carried a sense of disobedience.
"I was supposed to go out of the city to have a look today, but I heard that General Tianxuan received the emperor's order to come to the city to give porridge, so the king came to take a look, but I didn't expect you to be there."
Having said that, the king of southern Xinjiang never glanced at Chi Jingyu, and came directly to Bai Wushuang, with a clear meaning.
"Bai Wushuang, you follow Chi Jingyu to run up and down all day long, living in fear, where is the environment in southern Xinjiang comfortable......"
The king of Nanjiang pointed to the mottled mud marks on the corners of his skirt, and his expression was full of mockery.
He didn't wait for Bai Wushuang to answer, he just talked about himself and didn't mean to ask her to answer at all.
"I promise, as long as you go back to southern Xinjiang, your life will be more comfortable than here, no one will do anything to you, at least there, except for me, no one dares to touch you!"
"I promise you in the name of the king of Southern Xinjiang, you Bai Wushuang will not become the saint of Southern Xinjiang, you just return to Southern Xinjiang, after all, we are married!"
The eyes of the king of southern Xinjiang were filled with an unclear light, as deep as unmelted ink, unable to see through or guess.
A little smile appeared on Bai Wushuang's lowered face, like a sneer.
"I'm afraid I can't let the king of Southern Xinjiang get his wish, you can just treat those things as a joke! After all, your status in southern Xinjiang is not small, the women who are more beautiful than me are like the hair on the cow's body, there are too many to count, and all the women in southern Xinjiang are smart, and I am not the only one who is rare. ”
