Ruan Qiqi took Luo Yuanhang's case, as well as Zhou Shangshu's sentence: This is what Prince Qin meant, left the Criminal Department, and went straight to King Qin's mansion.

In the study, King Qin was there, Jin Zhuoyan was there, Gu Yuyan Gu Liu and Li Wenshan were also there, Ruan Seventeen swept around, Tuan Tuan saluted, and asked casually, "What about Xiao Lu?" ”

"In the Warm Pavilion." Gu Liu immediately answered, his eyebrows and eyes were smiling, "Go find him!" ”

Li Wenshan smiled and patted Gu Liu lightly, signaling him to stop talking.

"He's going to have to wait a while, if you're in a hurry, go to the warm pavilion......" Jin Cunyan didn't finish his words, but was interrupted by Ruan Qiqi, "I'm not looking for him, just ask, I'll look for the prince." ”

"What about Luo Yuanhang's case?" King Qin also smiled, looked at Ruan Seventeen and asked.

"Well, how do you interrogate?" Ruan Seventeen didn't need to let go, picked a chair, and sat next to Li Wenshan.

"How are you going to interrogate?" King Qin asked rhetorically.

"That Pan Zhi, whose person?" Ruan Qiqi didn't answer King Qin's words, looked at Jin Zhuoyan and asked.

"You have to ask Lao Guo about this." Kim clumsy said.

"Lao Guo is also in the Warm Pavilion, why don't I accompany you?" Gu Liu stretched out his head and smiled.

Li Wenshan raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "Let's get down to business." ”

"If I don't go, I'm not in a hurry." Ruan Qiqi glanced at Gu Liu, looked at King Qin, and continued: "Pan Zhi's shape, I have seen it, those things on the state, nine times out of ten, are true, but whether the silver went into Luo Yuanhang's private pocket, it is difficult to say, the disadvantages of the place, you have traveled in Weifu back then, you must have seen it clearly, at least the north and south of the river, it can be regarded as a fester, but this root is above." ”

Ruan Qiqi poked his fingers upward, "Over the years, these decades, this rule has been like this almost since the time of the first emperor, if the magistrate wants to evaluate the outstanding, there are two things that must not be there, one is to report worries, and the other is to ask for money." If you have both, then you don't even have to think about it, it must be down, in this place, you can barely hold on without worrying, you don't need money, this day is sad.

But the rules set by Taizu, but whenever Qin sends out of Beijing, what he sees and hears along the way, must be written into a log, reported every three days, sent to the Ministry of Officials, and returned to the various states and counties to evaluate the local officials.

All kinds of deductions in the local area, such as those done by Luo Yuanhang, have been officialdom rules for decades, but they have become more and more intense, so that the state taxes are getting smaller and smaller year by year, and the income cannot make ends meet. In my opinion, at least not at this point. ”

"The disadvantages of the court are far more than what you said." Jin Zhuoyan glanced at King Qin, whose face was very ugly.

King Qin pointed at Li Wenshan, "Li Wu went to various states and counties to inspect the field for a few years ago, and in the past two years, he has been sorting out what he has seen and those things in the court over the years, you have time to talk to him more." ”

"Okay." Ruan Qiqi readily agreed, this brother-in-law is rare and understandable, alas, the two sons and two daughters of the Li family, the eldest is good, the old and the young...... Xiaoliu is okay, that ......

Thinking of that, Ruan Qiqi moved uncomfortably, sat up, and looked more upright, "Let's talk about other drawbacks, just look at the stall in front of you, how to check, there must be a charter, this is not a trivial matter." ”

"First, first find out if there is a murder case in Luo Yuanhang's hands, if so, how many; second, to find out the occupation of Yanshi Mountain and the scourge of people's livelihood; Third, find out how much ink he is greedy. King Qin pondered for a moment, and Ruan Seventeen said.

"Okay, that's all. I'm fine. Ruan Qiqi simply agreed.

"That old lady of the Chen family came to your house?" Hearing him say that he was fine, Jin asked in a hurry.

"Go, I'll let people keep an eye on it, I'll go back as soon as she goes out, Maomao and her mother don't know about it. I waited at the second gate and sent her back. Ruan Qiqi's answer was a little vague.

"How did that Madame Hu die?" Li Wenshan frowned and asked.

"Hey." Ruan Qiqi laughed dryly, raised his hand and patted Li Wenshan on the shoulder twice, "You are a real person, do you need to ask?" It's not a bowl of poison or a white silk, nine times out of ten it's white silk, clean. ”

"The old lady's hand? It's ruthless enough, his daughter-in-law's life, tsk! Gu Liu pursed his lips and sighed, "What about the state of the government?" Withdrawn? ”

"No," Ruan Qiqi looked at King Qin, "Lao Guo said that the case of the Chen family, I want to talk to him before withdrawing, I asked him to ask him, he said don't withdraw for the time being, let me leave a few words in the Chen family, maybe I can use it in the future, I will hang the case in the government first." ”

"Brother Yan, and Maomao are all right, right?" Li Wenshan thought about what Tang Jiarui said when he came to visit Ruan's mansion yesterday, and looked at Ruan Qiqi and asked with concern.

"What's the matter with them? Oh yes, yes, yes! Ruan Qiqi asked as soon as he said a word, and remembered that he was still talking about inviting a doctor yesterday, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

The corners of Jin Clumsy's mouth were about to turn into eight figures, and he looked at Ruan Seventeen, "Before the matter started, you hid the person, Mao Mao didn't wake up from sleep, and the cloak covered his head, not to mention, you also piled half a sedan chair sachet in the warm sedan chair, what can happen?" I'm strange, in the past few days, you have invited the doctors in this city, please come to the mansion and let them see what? ”

"There are subordinates in my house, and subordinates are also people, right?" Ruan Qiqi glared at Jin Cunyan and glared back at him.

"Hah!" Jin Cunyan's eyebrows flew, and a snort was meant to smack his face.

"Yesterday, your sister-in-law came back from your house and said that Maomao couldn't cry anymore, what's the matter?" Li Wenshan naturally understood that his two nephews had at least nothing to do with being scared, so he asked directly.

"This," Ruan Qiqi scratched his head a little, "That day, I asked Mao Mao to be obedient and not to cry, you know, Brother Yan has been rare since he was a child, he can never cry without crying, Mao Mao is crying when he says crying, but female babies are always different from men." Fortunately, these two children are very sensible, so I told Maomao not to cry and promised her to ride the horse three times. ”

"You were robbed by your daughter, right?" Gu Liu is familiar with Brother Yan and Mao Mao, and he understands as soon as he hears it, he has admired his ability to seize every opportunity at all, and he has admired it I don't know how many times.

"How old is Maomao, look at what you said!" Ruan Qiqi refuted it in one mouthful, "It can't be considered peaceful these days, I didn't dare to take her out of the house, it's okay, Mao Mao is sensible, so I will cry for a while." Ruan Qiqi looked at Li Wenshan and explained.

"If you want to ride a horse, you don't need to go outside, the back garden of Dingfu is the racecourse." King Qin said with a smile.

"That's right!" Ruan Qiqi's eyes lit up, "Why didn't I think of this, it's just right, let Mao Mao learn to ride a horse with her eighth aunt, it would be better if she could learn some kung fu, Mrs. Zhao's gun is not worse than her archery skills, you have to hurry, while their Ding family still has no rules...... I'm leaving, I'll send Maomao over first. ”

Ruan Qiqi stood up and was about to leave, Jin Shuyan stretched out a folding fan against his waist, "Listen to what you mean, do you still have the idea of sending your family Maomao to the Bai family to learn kung fu?" ”

"It's been a long time since I stopped fighting, the Bai family's kung fu is passed on to both men and women, but it doesn't pass on foreign surnames." Ruan Seventeen was simply there.

"How good the uncle and aunt of the Xu family are." Li Wenshan answered, in the past few days, the female relatives of the family can't say a few words, so they have to admire the majesty of the Xu family's aunt. Almost everyone in his family has the mind to learn a few tricks.

Ruan Qiqi laughed dryly, "Her kung fu is too stable, and she can't use it, and she has to learn this kung fu to use it and watch it." I'll go first, I'll go to your place for dinner in the evening, and we'll have a good talk. Ruan Seventeen Tuan said goodbye, made an appointment with Li Wenshan for dinner, and strode away.

"Why is it too stable to see it? Isn't practicing kung fu to be stable? Gu Liuyi didn't hold Ruan Seventeen, looked back at Jin Zhuoyan and asked.

"Mrs. Jiang is a kung fu practiced on a sea boat, the head of the sea is to stand firm, you think about the boatman, how do they stand, Mrs. Zhao's kung fu pays attention to flexible footwork."

Jin Zhuoyan said more tactfully and implicitly, but Gu Liu understood as soon as he heard it, his two eyebrows flew up, and he patted the armrest of the chair while laughing, "I have to tell Uncle Xu about this, I dare to dislike Uncle Xu's kung fu is not good-looking, and I can't be cheap." ”

In the warm pavilion not far from the study, Li Xia was listening intently to Lu Yi's words, "If I get the letter, I will go to Bai Qiao, tomorrow the prince will go to the Yijun Mansion on behalf of the Son of Heaven to worship, whether he wants to go to the Yijun Mansion to check first, and tomorrow the Yijun Mansion will be armed, should he also arrange it." ”

Lu Yi paused, "Bai Qiao said, he invited the emperor, and also asked the prince, whether it was a house clearance, the emperor said according to the rules, the prince also said let him arrange according to the rules, as for tomorrow Yijun Wangfu defense, said that the emperor lost his temper, said that it was his son's house, not a den of thieves." The emperor had already said so, and Bai Qiao did not ask the prince to show him again.

As for the inventory of the house, Bai Qiao said that it was better for him not to investigate, first, the inventory is for the purpose of arranging, and it is useless to leave after the investigation, and second, if he goes to investigate, if anything happens, the responsibility for the unfavorable investigation will have to be on his head. There are things that do no harm, and he does not commit them. ”

"That's right." Guo Sheng nodded in agreement.

"What time will the prince arrive at the Yijun Palace?" Li Xia asked after a moment of silence.

"The looking back time measured by Qin Tianlin is the third quarter of the first month, which should be around the third quarter of the first month." Before Lu Yi's words were finished, Chengying's voice came from outside, "General, there is an important letter." ”

"You go check it out." Li Xia motioned to Lu Yi.

Lu Yi hurriedly walked out of the warm pavilion, and came back in a moment, frowning slightly: "It's a letter from the fifth master, saying that the prince sent someone to tell him that he should come to him before the beginning of tomorrow, and the three of them will go over together to see off the second master." ”

Li Xia's eyes narrowed slightly and relaxed, and called the fifth child over to go to the Yijun Palace, is this worried that something like the death of the second child will happen again?

Was this Jiang Yanshi's idea, or did the prince mean it?

"The crown prince sacrifices on behalf of the Son of Heaven, we can't rush ahead of him." Li Xia said very slowly, it was disrespectful in the front, and he could only be in the back. "Several ministers must follow the example of accompanying the Son of Heaven and accompany the prince to the Yijun Palace, and the six departments will be one night late."

"Does the princess really think there will be anything wrong with tomorrow's sacrifice? After all, it was the Yijun Palace. Lu Yi frowned.

The second prince and the crown prince have been mortal enemies for decades.

"Hmm." Li Xia hummed absentmindedly.

Tomorrow's Yijun Wangfu is an excellent place. is conducive to killing, and there are impeccable scapegoats, and by the way, you can also clear up the remnants of the old and second line, such as Ji Xianghou Mingli......

She didn't know anything about the second princess Hou family, the last time, three years ago, when the twenty-fourth year of Zhiping, first the prince died, and then this pair of twins, at that time, this pair of twins was still extremely picky in choosing relatives, and they had not yet decided on a marriage.

She remembered that Hou Mingli seemed to be attached to the prince at that time, and later was caught in a big case, and it seemed that in the twenty-sixth year of Zhiping, the Hou family was scattered, and she had never even heard of this Hou family.

This time, after she married into the Second Prince's Mansion, she has been silent as if there is no such person, such a silent person, when she wants to speak out one day, most of them are big things, the so-called blockbuster.

"That ......" Lu Yi's voice was very soft, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he swallowed it back.

Li Xia's head and neck drooped slightly, thinking about it, as if he hadn't heard Lu Yi's words.

Lu Yi stopped talking, and looked at Li Xia with worried eyes.

Li Xia raised his hand and pressed two fingers between his eyebrows.

Lu Yi turned his face away, her thoughtfulness made him feel distressed and uncomfortable.

Alas, the prince is right, it would be good if people didn't grow up, seeing her like this now, he always remembered that when she was a child, two fat little arms lying on the table, had to hold the chopsticks that were the same as others, but they grew up in her hands, how to look at how to worry about them, black and shiny eyes rolled around, extremely serious, and even a little distressed to measure to measure, choosing the dishes they wanted to eat.

He really hoped that she would be like when she was a child for the rest of her life, and her biggest worry was that she couldn't figure out which dish to eat.

"You can't take any chances." Li Xia put down his hand and looked at Guo Sheng, "How many people are available in the Yijun Palace?" ”

"Seventeen. Two ......"

"Needless to say." Li Xia interrupted Guo Sheng's words, "Get up and keep an eye on all the places you can keep an eye on, and see if there are any strangers entering and leaving the Yijun Mansion tonight." ”

"Yes." Guo Sheng owes himself and agrees.

"Tomorrow morning dynasty must be exempted, the prince Chen Chen arrived around the third quarter, Chen Zheng must go, followed by the six departments, the Privy Council, etc., everywhere must be stared at, not together, definitely one after another, the Privy Council is second only to the door of the book, it should be after the prince, a quarter of an hour is enough, well, Chen Zheng is a moment, you and Jin Zhuoyan take people to Yijun Wangfu first, it is best to meet Bai Jingning when you enter the door, after entering, from the gate to the mourning hall, search out a strong crossbow distance, to search carefully, search a good place, It's a good place. Li Xia then ordered.

"Isn't it a little ......" The two words arrogant, Lu Yi didn't say it.

"The second child just died on Potai Mountain, and the prince just escaped death, so you have to be careful. The Hou family is a weak woman, and she is too sad, and the palace must be lax. We can only be careful ourselves. Go and go to Pacho and tell him these words first. Li Xia replied to Lu Yi's words, and then commanded.

Lu Yi responded, looked at Li Xia and asked, "Then tomorrow the prince will go over in person?" ”

"Well, there must be a lot of people going to worship tomorrow, it's impossible not to meet people, the stand-in can be seen from a distance, and when he speaks, he must not be able to hide it, it really makes people see that he is blocked on the road......" Li Xia didn't say anything after that.

If you go to the stand-in tomorrow, the stand-in will be recognized, and then someone will deliberately block the road, it will be an avalanche-like disaster, enough to waste all your efforts.

"Go ahead and prepare, it's up to you tomorrow." Li Xia looked at Guo Sheng and solemnly confessed.

"Don't worry, princess." Guo Sheng owed, arched his hand with Lu Yi, and hurriedly went out to make arrangements, the safety of the prince this trip was all on him.

"You and Bai Qiao only said that the current Yijun Wangfu is only afraid of being like a sieve, and you will bring more people over tomorrow, and there is no need to say anything else, and it would be better if you could say that Bai Qiao would take people to inspect the Yijun Wangfu around the beginning of the year."

Li Xia then instructed Lu Yi, and Lu Yi answered and withdrew.
