Chapter 62: Jade is not a weapon
The huge flower hall is as silent as night, and occasionally a cool breeze blows, but it can't blow away the gloom hovering in everyone's hearts.
Ji Chaoge's jaw tightened, staring at the white jade Guanyin in the wooden box with starry eyes, and asked in a dumb voice for a long time: "Where did this thing come from?" ”
"The little guy at the post station stole it out of Li Huaijin's room." Ying Qingshan's face was solemn, and he glanced at Zhao Xinyue as he spoke.
See what she does? Zhao Xinyue looked dazed, turned her head and saw Ji Qingqing crying with red eyes, and couldn't help but wonder: "What are you crying about?" ”
Isn't it just a white jade Guanyin, is it already rare to the point of making people cry? When did Nanyang become so poor? How did she not know?!
Hearing this, Ji Qingqing's mood finally collapsed, and she threw herself into Zhao Xinyue's arms and cried. "Sister-in-law, my father's tomb has been dug up."
"What?" Zhao Xinyue looked stunned, patted her on the back and comforted, "Don't think nonsense, who dares to disturb the old prince's resting place in Nanyang?" ”
If it weren't for the white jade Guanyin in front of her, Ji Qingqing would have the same thoughts as her. However, at this moment, facts speak louder than words, and she cannot be allowed not to be sad.
"Brother, you must avenge your father and kill those damned thieves." Ji Qingqing cried breathlessly, and her red eyes were full of monstrous hatred.
This is the first time Zhao Xinyue has seen Ji Qingqing show this kind of expression, this little girl has always been obedient as a sheep in front of her, and at this moment she showed her teeth and grinned, which made her feel worthy of Ji Chaoge's own sister.
"What's wrong with you? How do you know that the old prince's resting place has been moved? Zhao Xinyue was very surprised, and immediately keenly noticed that Ji Chaoge's eyes looking at Baiyu Guanyin were full of sadness, and they instantly guessed the key. This white jade Guanyin won't be the burial object of the old prince, right?! ”
Ji Chaoge raised his eyes to look at her, and nodded sadly, "That's right, my father has been worshipping Buddha all his life, and this white jade Guanyin was carved by me and put into my father's coffin myself." Now this thing is here, and it can be seen that ......"
Before he finished speaking, he couldn't say any more, Zhao Xinyue clenched his hand distressedly, and sighed: "Ji Jue, mourn." Now is not the time to grieve, the first priority is to find out where things come from and who is behind them. ”
How much bear heart leopard gall did this person eat, and he dared to dig up the coffin of the former king of Nanyang on the boundary of Nanyang, this is the rhythm of wanting the whole family to be buried together?
"Your Highness is right, this thing was searched from Li Huaijin's bedroom, and the last general thought that he should be arrested and tortured first, and then ask where this thing came from." Ying Qingshan said with hatred, the old prince was as kind to his family as a mountain, and treated him like a parent. Now that the old prince's burial objects have been dug up, he knows better than anything else what this means.
Zhao Xinyue raised her eyebrows suspiciously, and said strangely: "The source is to be investigated, but why do you want to arrest Li Huaijin?" He also tortured, why didn't he directly put the other party in prison and behead him after the autumn?
Sure enough, he knew that she would help Li Huaijin speak. Ying Qingshan looked at her with a clear face, and asked loudly: "Did the princess not hear clearly or did she deliberately not want to hear clearly?" The little guy at the post station had already made it clear that he had stolen this thing from Li Huaijin's bedroom. ”
Just now she called her His Royal Highness, but now she calls her Princess? This is to remind her to remember her identity, in addition to being the eldest princess of the royal family, she is also the princess of Nanyang Wang Ji Chaoge?
Zhao Xinyue felt ridiculous, what did she say, she used him to remind her of this? "Ji Jue, without further ado, immediately send someone to the post station to confront Li Huaijin face to face, and ask where this thing came from, so that you can find out the thief behind the scenes."
thought that she would help Li Huaijin speak, but unexpectedly, she didn't have half a word to plead, and all she said was good for him. Ji Chaoge's unhappy heart was comforted, and he clenched her hand harder and harder, "Ying Qingshan, you take the city guards to the inn to confront Li Huaijin face to face, and you are bound to ask where this white jade Guanyin came from." ”
Ordered him to take the city protector with him, which was a tacit consent to the use of force if necessary? Ying Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Zhao Xinyue gratefully, respectfully packed the white jade Guanyin in a wooden box, got up and strode away.
Seeing Ying Qingshan's back walking away, Zhao Xinyue frowned secretly, Ying Qingshan, as Ji Chaoge's right-hand man, shouldered the safety of the entire Nanyang City. But this person is a reckless man with exposed emotions, which really makes her feel a little relieved.
"What are you looking at?" After the meal, Ji Chaoge drank another bowl of awakening soup, and he specially ordered someone to add a few analgesic and refreshing herbs to the soup, and after drinking it, the headache really improved a lot.
Zhao Xinyue didn't look back, and said lightly: "I'm looking at Ying Qingshan." ”
"What's wrong with him?"
"There's nothing wrong with that, but it's not a good thing to be too emotional." Zhao Xinyue sighed and turned her head to look at him with blazing eyes. "Ji Jue, the imperial brother has made up his mind to cut the domain, Nanyang and Jingyang must bear the brunt, can you think of a countermeasure in your heart?"
When it comes to cutting the domain, Ji Chaoge inevitably thinks of Li Huaijin, and when he thinks of Li Huaijin, he thinks that his father's funeral objects were actually found in his house. Thinking like this, Ji Chaoge's eyes were gloomy, his jaw was tight, but he didn't speak.
"Don't think about it, the Duwei Mansion is very close to the post station, and it's not too late to wait for Ying Qingshan to come back and make a conclusion." Zhao Xinyue was smart and didn't help Li Huaijin say half a word, she knew that if she didn't help at the moment, she would help.
At this moment, Ji Chaoge is angry, if she exonerates Li Huaijin without any evidence, it will only attract the crazy disgust of Ji Chaoge and Ji Qingqing. Rather than end up with an inferior one, it is better to be patient and wait for Ying Qingshan to come back, she knows Li Huaijin very well, and such a thing as digging people's graves will definitely not be done by him.
Ji Chaoge pursed her lips and nodded with a gloomy look in her eyes. "Okay, I'll wait with you."
Why did it become waiting with her? If it weren't for the fact that the situation didn't allow it, Zhao Xinyue really wanted to have a few words with him. But at this moment, Ji Chaoge is sad, his father's grave has been dug up, and the treasure carved by himself for his father has been dug up and sold, and no one can stand it.
"Don't be sad, wait to catch the thief who robbed the tomb, and use his head to comfort the old prince's spirit in the sky." Zhao Xinyue is really not very good at comforting others, the only thing she can think of is to slaughter the tomb robber and use his head to pay tribute to the old prince.
Ji Chaoge pursed her thin lips and nodded unwillingly, not knowing what she had said. I only felt that someone was talking in my ear, someone warmed his hand with my hand, and interlocked his fingers to make him feel at ease.
Half an hour later, Ying Qingshan returned to the flower hall wearing armor, and as soon as he came in, he knelt on one knee and pleaded guilty to Ji Chaoge: "The last general is incompetent, and he only found out that things flowed from Ruyi Zhai, but I don't know who is behind the scenes." ”
"Ruyi Zhai?" Ji Chaoge finally came back to his senses, his pupils were flat, and he asked in a cold voice: "Isn't that your wife's mother's property?" ”
Ying Qingshan lowered his head and lowered his eyes, and his voice was hoarse, "Yes." ”
"You mean, Li Huaijin bought the old prince's funeral goods from your wife's mother's store?" Zhao Xinyue touched her chin and asked, "Why did this thing appear in your wife's maiden shop when it was placed in the coffin of the old prince?" ”
She is very strange, with the relationship between Ying Qingshan and Ji Chaoge, Mrs. Ying Qingshan's maiden family should also be friendly with the palace, how can she openly sell the old prince's funeral goods? If she is not mistaken, there should be two possibilities, one is that the people of Ruyizhai do not know the origin of this white jade Guanyin; Second, some people deliberately used Ruyi Zhai to separate the feelings of Ying Qingshan and Ji Chaoge.
No matter which one it is, it is not a good thing for Ji Chaoge and them. Zhao Xinyue's eyes were slightly raised, and she gave Bai Sakura a look, and Bai Sakura immediately retreated quietly, and ordered someone to send the news back to Dream Tower.
As for Li Huaijin's side, although Zhao Xinyue didn't know what role he played in it, with her understanding of him, he would definitely not suffer.
Ying Qingshan bowed his head in shame, "I don't know." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Xinyue didn't ask, only turned her head to look at Ji Chaoge, "Ji Jue, what should we do next?" ”
"Check, even if Nanyang is turned upside down, it must be investigated." Ji Chaoge's eyes were gloomy, and his handsome face was black.
Ying Qingshan nodded, this matter is bound to come to light, no matter who is behind the scenes, he will be broken into pieces. "The last general is willing to wait for the prince to send him, and he will never give up."
"Whew!" Zhao Xinyue couldn't hold back her laughter, met Ji Chaoge's inquiring eyes, and sneered: "A man who can't even handle the backyard well, do you dare to reuse it?" ”
"What does the princess mean by that?" Ying Qingshan's face darkened, he asked himself if he had ever offended her, why did she always target him? "How about the backyard of the last general, what does it have to do with smearing the prince's liver and brain?"
"What does it matter? It seems that the forty military sticks have not been implemented, and Captain Ying still has no number in his heart. Ying Qingshan, have you ever heard a sentence, how can you sweep the world if you don't sweep a house? You can't even handle the backyard of your own home, how can people feel at ease that important things are entrusted to you? Don't be in a hurry to quibble, I don't doubt your loyalty to the prince, but have you ever thought that if the people in your house today order not incense but poisonous incense that kills people, the prince will still have his life? If something happens to the prince, who will be responsible? Are you, can you afford it? ”
The words were loud, and it was said that Qingshan's face was full of desolation, and he asked dejectedly for a long time: "Dare to ask the princess what she is doing?" ”
Now he dares to ask her what she did, is it possible that he still thinks that she is embarrassing him? Zhao Xinyue glanced at him in disappointment, turned her head to Ji Chaoge and said, "Ji Jue, jade is not a weapon, he is your subordinate, or you should come." ”
Jade can't be cut? Ji Chaoge realized in an instant, and cast an appreciative look at her, "Qingshan, from this moment on, you will transfer the affairs in your hands to the deputy general, and when you will deal with the affairs of the back house, you will come to this king to get back the seal of the captain." ”
"What?!" Ying Qingshan was stunned and looked at him in disbelief. "For this little thing, the prince wants to remove the last general?"
