When Ban Yanxiu was sending off guests in an official tone, Jian Xubai walked into the inner room while pulling the collar of the plate: "But a daddy has made a mistake, you go to the study to get a post by yourself, and send it to Jingzhao Mansion, Ban Yanxiu naturally understands, why do you have to call me back?" ”

Song Yixiao, who was sitting on the soft couch, was looking down at an idle book, put down the scroll when he heard the words, and was about to speak, when he raised his eyes, he saw that he was wearing a beam crown on his head, an official robe and a jade belt, and he rushed over before he could change his clothes - especially this will be late autumn, but there are clear sweat marks on this person's placket, who believes that he is not in a hurry?

"Since you want to be duplicitous, let's clean it up and come back!" She couldn't cry or laugh in her heart, but she knew that if she was exposed, Jian Xubai would be annoyed and angry, and thought about it: "I haven't dealt with the government, thinking it's safer to wait for you to come back?" ”

"That's just as well." Jian Xubai happily accepted his wife's euphemistic compliment, sat down with her across the small table, and asked, "The people on the road haven't made it clear, what's going on?" ”

"The case itself is simple: my father's son-in-law has someone outside, bullying his wife and young son, and my father is a little ruthless for his daughter, and he was sued by the Fu family." Song Yixiao flipped up the tea set on the table, poured him a cup of tea, and said casually, "But I just agreed to let Mother Zhao take Qiaoqin back to have a look, and the chief steward came over to tell the cause and effect, and it was clearer than the person who came to report the news from the You family, especially mentioning that I was sold by my stepmother Liu to my bustard's mother, but it was unusual!" ”

Jian Xubai took the tea and was about to drink it, but when he heard the words, he put it down again, and frowned: "What did he say?" ”

"What else can I say?" Song Yi smiled and pulled his sideburns, and said with a chuckle, "It's nothing more than a hint that this case is not simple, but he knows the inside story by coincidence, and he has a way to help." However, the list he gave me before asked me to bother, so I agreed to it quickly! ”

"In that case, then there is no need for anyone to find out about that list." Jian Xubai took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Whoever intercedes, let's wait for the New Year to discuss!" ”

Song Yi smiled knowingly: "I think so too." ”

- Originally, Jian Xubai was very tired of the big steward, and now he still wants to take advantage of the fire to rob, Jian Xubai will do what they want!

However, she still reminded, "The chief steward doesn't look like a stupid person, why do you still say such things?" ”

"What's so strange about that?" Jian Xubai said in a cold tone, "The decline of Changxing is imminent, and she is rushing to prepare the manpower before the marriage of the third brother, and when the time comes, it can be said that because the third brother is also married, the manpower left by the grandfather is divided, and others have nothing to say; If I wait for them to get married and then call someone over, how can the outside not think that it is the third brother who is bullying me by virtue of the power of the lord? ”

On this eye joint, Song Yixiao withheld the list and refused to give it, isn't the chief steward in a hurry?

Jian Xubai rolled up his sleeves, squinted his eyes and said, "I haven't thought about making trouble with the third brother on this matter, I don't want him to do it first!" ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at his wife and said thoughtfully, "What happened back then, could my mother-in-law leave a handle?" Although the third brother has a bad relationship with me, to be honest, he has always been strict in his work, and if he doesn't get any evidence, even if he suspects it, he won't act rashly. ”

“…… Probably not. Song Yixiao knew that he still thought that the Liu family's sale of women back then was Wei Mengying or the Wei family, but she didn't want to tell the truth, and shook her head after pondering for a while, "The whole story is unfounded, Zhao's mother and his wife have always been loyal, although the bustard's mother is an outsider, but she received a heavy gift afterwards and gained a good reputation, so it is impossible to easily retort?" ”

"Just because you've always been faithful doesn't mean you'll always be faithful!" Jian Xubai put the tea bowl on the table, "That Fu Junchang and his ancestors have never been slaves for you, the only thing this person has to do with you is that he married your grandmother sister-how do you say he knows about you?" ”

Song Yixiao smiled bitterly in her heart, the situation that Jian said in vain, after the chief steward spoke, she thought of it.

It's just that she really can't bear to criticize Zhao's mother and his wife, so she will euphemistically: "Maybe the person behind the scenes deliberately let him talk nonsense, so as to test me?" However, I can confirm that there is no physical evidence in this matter, just because Fu Junchang is a person who has never seen me, he still wants to overturn the case for the Liu family? ”

He also said, "Although Liu's sale of me is fake, the harshness she has treated me in the nearly a year since she passed the door is true!" After I was taken away by the bustard mother, Liu's henchmen deliberately delayed the time so that I could not find it, which is also true. If the Liu family has some kindness to me, he may not be able to plant it back then, and he can completely push that Wu's mother out as a scapegoat! ”

She is telling the truth - after all, this flaw in this planting, Jian Xubai said casually when he was eleven years old, and the reason why Liu Zhenxi, the secretary of the criminal department at that time, could not defend himself, was mainly because after the Wei family traced the Liu family, they scolded Song Yixiao and deducted it at every turn, which can be described as a disadvantage.

With such a stepmother, who would believe that she is virtuous?

Why does the Liu family say that she is virtuous?!

And Wu's mother returned to the Song Mansion after a few hours to report the news, which confirmed the notoriety of the Liu family - although Mrs. Pang did not mean to find her granddaughter after hearing the news, and also acquiesced in the Liu family's announcement of Song Yixiao's death, but she was her own grandmother, and she was not at home at that time, and only one sentence of "being deceived by her stepdaughter-in-law" could shift most of the responsibility to the Liu family.

That's why the Liu family is speechless, and if he doesn't die, he won't succeed.

Jian Xubai pondered for a while and said, "In this case, even if the third brother has any evidence, it doesn't matter." ”

- Since the Liu family is originally a harsh stepmother, even if the truth is revealed, Wei Mengying's mother and daughter are not completely unreasonable: there is no relative in the entire Song family who treats Song Yixiao as flesh and blood, and the mother-in-law is not allowed to try to find a way out for her daughter?

But if you really pinch that step, Song Yixiao's reputation is almost the same.

Jian Xubai doesn't want his wife to fall into such an embarrassing situation, and it will be his face that he loses like that, okay?

So he said, "The third brother probably thinks that he is still a princess, and in the way of the imperial uncle and the imperial aunt, it is not good for us to make a fuss about the name of Changxing." But there are more ways to find trouble in this world, and there are still courtesies, so we should always pay homage to him! ”

So the couple seriously discussed for more than an hour, about how to deal with Jian Yiyu - but in the evening, they received a message from Jingzhao Mansion through the back door: "The mastermind behind this case is suspected to be Qiu Shangshu!" ”

"Qiu Shangshu?" Song Yixiao thought for a while before finding a little memory, "My mother seems to have said that he is the nephew of the Queen Mother, our cousin, but he is not a good person to get close to, so I have nothing to do with it - I only said that he has a strict temperament, so he has a grudge against us?" ”

Jian Xubai's face turned pale, and he said after a while: "Xue Pei's knee bones are what that old thing made people break a little bit!" ”

"Why?!" Song Yixiao was taken aback.

"Because I didn't happen to be there at the time—the old thing sent someone to deal with me!" Jian Xubai sneered and said, "As a result, Xue Pei refused to tell my whereabouts, and those people ...... in order to extract a confession."

Speaking of this, he was silent for a while, and replied, "This involves the inside story of our capture five years ago: why did you say goodbye to the old man after the Duke of Dao Ji returned to the court?" ”

Song Yixiao didn't expect that it was just her father who beat her son-in-law, and he pulled out such a big thing, and his heart beat a little faster for a while, and he calmed down before he said: "Outside it is said that it is because Ji Guogong is old......

"That's just to read the face of the Su family after the founding hero, and give him a decent face!" Jian Xu's white phoenix eyes were full of ridicule, "You say that King Zhao is only twelve years old this year, how did his ambition, or the ambition of the Su family, be exposed?" ”

Seeing Song Yixiao shaking his head blankly, he smiled sarcastically, "It started when we were captured!" ”

"That's not Cousin Ji......" Song Yi was halfway through the joke, and when she saw that her husband couldn't help sneering, she immediately stopped.

"Cousin Ji is just a false name! But he's not entirely responsible. Jian Xubai narrowed his eyes and said lightly, "After all, among the few people, he is the best to use the city government - in fact, the culprit who caused us to be captured is Ji Guogong!" ”

Otherwise, "the so-called knowing son is more than the parents, and the so-called son is worried about the mother!" The people who were captured at the beginning, in addition to Xue Pei, me, Cousin Ji, and several others, their parents were all in the hall, and they knew that we were young and ignorant, and they allowed us to join the army, how could they not be prepared? ”

Jian Xubai sneered, "Let's just say that I myself, not only do I have Ji Su, who is familiar with martial arts, to serve me left and right, but I am nominally a pro-soldier, but in fact I am serving my daily life." My mother even sent dozens of elite guards to temporarily transfer to the army to protect me. In order to ensure my safety, these people can forcibly bring me back to the imperial capital without my permission! In this case, how do we act privately? ”

And he said, "As for stealing out of the camp, it's even more ridiculous!" The barracks are heavy, and the guards are all over the place, how can you come and go at will?! If it really comes to that point, Darui will already be in danger, and what is there to talk about deterring the four yi! If the boss hadn't deliberately manipulated us, and the patrol soldiers hadn't found out, the people who protected us would have tied us back a long time ago! ”

After he said this, Song Yixiao suddenly realized: "Ji Guogong is doing this for His Royal Highness King Zhao?" ”

"Not bad!" Jian Xubai sneered, "Everyone in the government and the opposition knows that the emperor's uncle was established because the imperial body was not safe. Although it has dragged on all these years, it is a fact that the spirit is getting worse and worse! ”

The more this is the case, the more unlikely it is for Emperor Xianjia to be easy to save, and the more he has to support the prince - after all, the prince is only twenty-four years old this year! At this age, for ordinary people, as long as they are not mediocre, they are enough to support the portal, but for the king of a country, whether it is qualifications or prestige, they are still immature!

After all, the prince is just outstanding, not to the point of being amazing.

Therefore, King Zhao, who has the identity of a concubine in the middle palace and has a powerful foreign family, has no chance at all!

"But when the prince ascends the throne, in addition to being canonized by the East Palace and inheriting the ancestral inheritance step by step, it is not without other paths."

For example, "Soldiers are coming to the city, another day!" ”

The problem is that Emperor Xianjia's health is not good, but his control over the government and the opposition is not bad!

Although the Duke of Ji has a deep-rooted power in the military, if he wants to force the palace during the reign of Emperor Xianjia, there is not much hope at all!

"Six years ago, on the eve of the army's expedition, the imperial uncle fainted once in the harem, although it did not alarm the outer court at that time, but the imperial aunt, as the queen of the main palace, knew it."

Queen Su knew about it and had her own way to inform the Su family.

It just so happened that the army needed a commander with enough power and seniority, and Ji Guogong deservedly got this position - so the Su family thought of a way: drag!

Drag out the time of the crusade against Wu Huan, until Emperor Xianjia dies, or he can't see things!

Then kill Wu Huan, wave the army to return to the court, take the momentum of the army, come to the city, cooperate with Queen Su, abandon the prince, and support King Zhao!

Jian Xubai sneered and said: "Although this method is not bad, there is one biggest problem, that is, Wuhuan is a small country, no matter how stubborn it is, in front of our army, it is just in vain!" There is no reason to deceive the imperial uncle at all! ”

"So Ji Guogong hit you with the idea?" Song Yixiao understood, "Originally, he was appointed as the commander, but he was worried that the children of the powerful people who accompanied the army would not be obedient, since there was such a worry in the front, and then came the news that you were greedy for merit and caused a big disaster, the imperial capital naturally would not suspect it!" ”

Seeing Jian Xu's white face covered with frost, she muttered, "But what does this have to do with our cousin?" ”
