Chapter 51: I Believe in Her
Kyoto Yamen.
Xu Yan and Jiang Qizheng muttered something solemnly, and when they raised their eyes and saw someone coming in outside, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty."
Jiang Xuanjin bowed, his eyes fell on the person kneeling in front of the hall, and frowned slightly.
"What's going on?"
When he was tied up and sent away, he was still dignified, but now that he looks at it, his face is covered with blood.
Xu Yan said helplessly: "He hit it himself, if it weren't for Master Jiang pulling fast, I'm afraid he would have hit his head and died." β
"It's a fierce temperament." Finding a chair next to him and sitting down, Jiang Xuanjin brushed his robe and asked, "Can you ask about the origin?" β
"From the moment he entered the yamen, this man refused to say a word."
With a slightly dull look, Jiang Xuanjin glanced at Chengxu next to him, who understood and stepped forward to search his body.
The person who was originally motionless was touched by the void and suddenly struggled. However, the rope tied his hands and feet strongly, and no matter how much he struggled, the sleeve pockets and the contents of his arms were still clean.
A bunch of bits and pieces, he took a look at it, only picked up Ming Pei and handed it to his master.
"Sun Qing?" Pinching Ming Pei and looking at the words on it, Jiang Xuanjin was a little puzzled. Just as he wanted Xu Yan to check, Jiang Yan came over.
"Uncle!" Hurriedly shouted and ran in, and when he saw that there were still outsiders, Jiang Yan took his steps and changed his words abruptly, "Your Majesty!" β
Jiang Xuanjin looked at him: "What are you doing here at this hour?" β
Jiang Yan arched his hand and said: "On the order of Lord Tingwei, I will bring the assassin who assassinated the emperor to the Tingwei Yamen for review. β
Xu Yan next to him was very puzzled: "This official has not yet submitted this case, why did the Tingwei Mansion come to mention people?" β
"It's hard for the Tingwei Mansion to know about such a big movement." After looking at his uncle and seeing that he was fine, Jiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and continued, "Lord Liu is very worried about the safety of the king, why don't you go with the lower officials?" β
"There's no hurry." After thinking for a while, Jiang Xuanjin asked him first, "Do you know this person in front of the hall?" β
Following his gaze, Jiang Yan frowned: "This face is full of blood, who can see what it looks like?" β
"What about this?" He handed Ming Pei over.
Jiang Yan looked at it and said, "I seem to have heard this name somewhere." β
When the people on the ground heard this, they froze, and tried to bury their faces. However, the next person grabbed him by the chin, pulled the handkerchief, and wiped away the blood on his face with two or three strokes.
"Ah, I remember." Seeing his appearance, Jiang Yan exclaimed, "Isn't this Lord Sun, the stable who guards the horse farm?" β
Captain of the Stables? Xu Yan frowned and stepped forward: "Is Lord Zuo Jian sure?" β
"Sure!" Jiang Yan nodded, "A few days ago, five good horses entered the Tingwei Mansion, and Lord Sun personally sent them and met with me. β
Sun Qing's face was ugly, and he stared at Jiang Yan with open eyes, his eyes full of resentment.
"No wonder it looks familiar." Jiang Xuanjin's face sank, "It's really a person in the court." β
If the ordinary rivers and lakes were reckless in this coffin and stabbing the king, it would be just a subordinate officer who was still a 600-year-old stable captain and a servant!
"Send it to the Imperial Governor's Mansion." Xu Yan shook his head, "This matter is no longer within the jurisdiction of the Kyoto Yamen. β
Jiang Yan waved his hand and asked the yacha behind him to take people away, Jiang Xuanjin watched Sun Qing being taken out, followed by also got up, and said goodbye to Xu Yan and the others.
"Uncle, have you offended this person?" Sitting in the carriage, Jiang Yan couldn't help but ask.
Jiang Xuanjin bowed his head: "It's a festival." β
In the woods, Sun Qing said that because he wanted to protect "that beast", he would let him die together.
There is no need to ask who that brute is, the person Sun Qing hates the most is Danyang, otherwise he would not risk being killed and go to the street to stop the eldest princess's guardian team.
But how did this person know that he was going to the White Dragon Temple today? Where did you get the ability to gather so many martial arts people?
Puzzled in his heart, Jiang Xuanjin followed Jiang Yan into the Taiwei Mansion.
After the incident of the last return to the court, Liu Yunlie saw him again, and his expression was a little strange. Today is no exception, since he entered the door, Liu Yunlie's brows have not been loosened.
"You have always been cautious when traveling, but today you were ambushed?"
Jiang Xuanjin glanced at him: "Isn't the adult the person who should be judged first?" β
Liu Yunlie lowered his eyes, his gaze fell on the person kneeling downward, and his tone was very unkind: "Who is kneeling?" What did you do? β
Fang Cai was still struggling hard, but now he was actually honest, Sun Qing lowered his head and replied 1510: "Sun Qing, the captain of the Xiaguan Taistable, was escorted here because of the attempted assassination of Ziyang Jun. β
This tone is still reasonable, and it seems that he doesn't feel that he is wrong at all.
Liu Yunlie reprimanded when he filmed the case: "It's just bold and lawless!" Why don't you go into the details? β
Reluctantly looked at Jiang Xuanjin next to him, Sun Qing said: "Ziyang Jun is biased to defend the eldest princess of Danyang, I can't look past it, I want to kill her." I thought it was foolproof, but who knew that I had fallen for the king's plan. β
Jiang Xuanjin raised his eyes: "Benjun's plan? β
"The king's means, the lower officials admire." Sun Qing sneered, "First let people release the news that they were going to the White Dragon Temple to lure me to take the bait, and then they didn't hesitate to risk their lives to lure me into the urn, and finally the city protector Huang Que was behind, and he directly wiped me out." β
"The only thing I regret now is why I didn't take advantage of the chaos to kill you at that time!"
"Presumptuous!" Liu Yunlie shouted angrily, "In front of this official, you should also spit out such arrogant words?" β
Sun Qing knelt down and sat down, looking fearless: "Anyway, if you are caught, it will be a death, what else do I dare not say?" β
Jiang Xuanjin listened calmly, without any anger, and only asked, "Where did you hear the news that Benjun was going to the White Dragon Temple?" β
Looking at him with a strange expression, Sun Qing said, "You know it in your own heart, why do you still ask me?" β
"If you ask, you will answer!" Liu Yunlie drank lowly.
Sun Qing snorted coldly: "I heard it on the street." β
This kind of posture is clearly unwilling to tell the truth and prevaricate at will. Jiang Xuanjin turned his head, looked at Liu Yunlie and asked, "The board in your mansion's yacha is planning to hide it as a biography?" β
Liu Yunlie frowned: "This is the fight?" β
"If you dare to talk nonsense in court, shouldn't you be beaten?" Jiang Xuanjin shook his head, "You don't have to be too ruthless, just clear your throat with twenty boards." β
Sun Qing stiffened his neck, with an expression of unyielding expression.
However, the boards fell down hard one by one, and it hurt much more than he imagined. By the time he reached the tenth, it was already skin and flesh, Sun Qing wailed again and again, and hurriedly shouted: "I move, I move!" β
The board stopped, he took a breath, and said with a cold sweat on his face: "I have many brothers under him, and they are all over Kyoto on weekdays, and the news that the king is going to Bailong Temple today was heard by someone in the teahouse near Jiangfu. β
Jiang Xuanjin frowned: "What the people in the teahouse said, you actually believed it?" β
Sun Qing gritted his teeth: "I didn't believe it at first, I only let people guard at the gate of Jiangfu, I didn't expect you to come out, you really went to the north of the city, can this be fake?" β
"Do you see the face of the person who spoke?"
"Who's going to care about those?" replied casually, Sun Qing pondered twice, and felt that something was not right, "Isn't it the news you released?" Why do you still ask? β
Jiang Xuanjin was silent.
Liu Yunlie heard the key, looked at him with a little surprise and said, "Could it be that someone deliberately leaked the news?" β
The person next to him did not deny it, a pair of ink eyes were cold and cold.
With a serious expression, Liu Yunlie said: "Your Majesty, even if you and I are not in the same way, the lower officials still have to remind you that the people around you should be guarded against." β
"Be careful, sir." Jiang Xuanjin was displeased, "A gentleman should not speak of discord." β
"Is this a discord?" Liu Yunlie sneered, "This is a fact. β
Sun Qing couldn't ask anything useful in his mouth, and the person above was really annoying to talk, Jiang Xuanjin turned his head with a calm face, and said to Jiang Yan beside him: "You can stare at it." β
After saying that, he got up and walked out.
"Ziyang-kun!" Liu Yunlie couldn't help but call him, "Leave without listening to the interrogation?" β
"Tired."
With a wave of his sleeve, he didn't look back, Jiang Yan looked at it, and said to Liu Yunlie: "Xiaguan listens for you, and when you go back later, you will give him again." β
The little young master of the Jiang family is much easier to convince than that Ziyang Jun, Liu Yunlie thought about it, and didn't care about the person who went away, and analyzed the case for the little young master wholeheartedly.
And intentionally or unintentionally, he told Jiang Yan all his previous suspicions about Bai SixiΗo JiΔ.
Jiang Yan was already worried, and Liu Yunlie was alarmist, and when he went back at night, he rushed to Moju with an anxious face.
"Uncle!"
Taking advantage of the vain desire to stop, he waved his hand and pushed it away, broke into the main house and hurriedly raised his eyes and said, "I heard Lord Liu say ......"
Halfway through his words, he choked on the scene in front of him.
Jiang Xuanjin was half-leaning on the bed, looking lazy and disheveled. Bai Zhuji snuggled beside him, holding his arm with both hands, the green silk was scattered, and her posture was charming, and she looked at him in astonishment, and her apricot eyes were full of puzzlement.
With a red face, Jiang Yan turned around on the spot and reached out to cover his eyes.
"It's getting more and more unruly." Jiang Xuanjin said coldly.
Tense, Jiang Yan said in a trembling voice: "It's because the situation is urgent, so my nephew will collide like this." β
"Is the sky going to fall or is the earth going to fall?" Jiang Xuanjin got up with his clothes and walked out with him, "If you have something to say, don't disturb your little aunt's rest." β
Jiang Yan responded, followed his steps, and couldn't help but glance back when he went out.
Bai Zhuji obediently sat on the bed with a pillow on her face, her face full of confusion. He looks innocent, but he really looks like a demagogic vixen.
Meeting the gaze of this young master Jiang, Li Huaiyu was very inexplicable.
She didn't care about Jiang Yan before, and she was magnanimous, so he didn't appreciate it, why did he still look at her like this?
Watching them go in the direction of the side hall, Li Huaiyu thought about it, quietly climbed out of the window next to him, and bowed his head to go around the wall of the side hall.
"Say it." Sitting down on the chair, Jiang Xuanjin opened his mouth.
Jiang Yan looked left and right, and saw that Chengxu and Yufeng had retreated, so he said with confidence: "Uncle, have you ever suspected Aunt Xiao about this assassination?" β
Li Huaiyu was shocked when he heard this, and his heart hung up.
Jiang Xuanjin asked, "Why do you doubt her?" β
"You have no reason, how can you go to the White Dragon Temple? I heard the porter say, today is the little aunt who will go first, and you will follow. Your past whereabouts have never been revealed, how come you went to the same place with her and became known? β
"It's just a coincidence."
"That's a coincidence!" Jiang Yan frowned, "Don't be too partial to the little aunt." β
"She has no reason to hurt me." Jiang Xuanjin said lightly, "I believe her." β
The tone was smooth and gentle, but the words that came out were loud.
Huaiyu raised her eyebrows, sat down slowly against the wall behind her, and raised her eyes to look at the sunset on the horizon.
Believe her? This guy is really ...... I don't know where I got my confidence, and I'm not afraid that this heel will fall on her, and she will be so painful that she can't get up.
Jiang Yan was annoyed: "My nephew doesn't have to say that the little aunt wants to harm you, but you should also look at things fairly, if she is suspicious, she is suspicious, blindly protect, what if she is wrong?" β
Wrong protection? Jiang Xuanjin chuckled: "Then I'll admit my mistake." β
Jiang Yan was stunned, anxious and angry: "What do you admit to be wrong?" If it's really wrong, she should admit it! Uncle, you used to teach your nephew that if you talk about reason in advance and then talk about your relatives, why can't you do it yourself now? β
Holding his eyebrows and pondering for a moment, Jiang Xuanjin said: "People's moods will inevitably change due to different circumstances. β
In the past, he was pure-hearted and had few desires, there was only right and wrong in the world and the world, and there was no need to separate relatives and distance from each other, and once despised people in the red dust, feeling that they were too easy to compromise for selfishness, and they were really not strong-minded.
Now, however, he felt that in addition to the things of the world that were right and wrong, there was also something about Bai Zhuji.
This person behaves without rules, and it is really difficult to judge her by right and wrong. For example, this time in the White Dragon Temple, do you want to doubt her? She honestly told him that he had leaked the news and went out, and there was no malice at all, what did she suspect of her?
Jiang Xuanjin shook his head, hooked his lips and wanted to smile, sensing his nephew's stunned gaze, he pursed his lips and lowered his eyes: "When you grow up, you may be able to understand a thing or two." β
"Nephew would rather never understand!" Jiang Yan said with some negative anger, "My nephew only knows that you seem to be bewitched by a goblin now!" β
Listening calmly, Jiang Xuanjin raised his eyes to look at him and asked kindly, "Is it time to renegotiate your marriage with the Bai family's second xiΗo jiΔ?" β
His face froze, and the corners of Jiang Yan's mouth twitched.
Didn't you say that you would want to put off this marriage for him? Now that Bai Si XiΗo JiΔ has entered Moju, why does he still marry Bai Si XiΗo JiΔ?
"No one has mentioned it now, and my father hasn't remembered it yet." Jiang Xuanjin groaned, "Why don't you mention it for you tomorrow?" β
ββ¦β¦ Need not. Taking a deep breath, Jiang Yan swallowed all the anger of Fang Cai into his stomach, and said in his throat, "My nephew is still young. β
"You're small, Bai ErxiΗo jiΔ is not small." Jiang Xuanjin shook his head and said, "You can't let people wait too long." β
Jiang Yan gritted his teeth in anger, this is a threat! It's clear that he's threatening! But he was threatened by this if he survived.
Choose between tolerating a suspicious but not convicted little aunt, or marrying Bai ErxiΗo jiΔ? Then he must choose the former!
Suppressing the anger in a reluctant voice, Jiang Yan lowered his head: "My nephew knows his mistake...... The nephew is just worried about the uncle. If the uncle is not happy, then the nephew will not talk about it. β
Jiang Xuanjin bowed his head in satisfaction, got up and "sent" him out of the door.
The little young master's face was full of worry and unwillingness, and when he went out, he couldn't help but pull the doorstring and said: "The authorities are confused, the bystanders are clear, uncle think twice!" β
"My own business, I know it myself." Jiang Xuanjin said.
Jiang Yan watched with complicated eyes as the Moju gate closed in front of him, and stood in place for a while.
Lord Liu still expects him to wake up the uncle? Looking at the uncle's current appearance, I'm afraid it's useless for the old lady! How did someone who was so wise and sharp become like this?
No, he has to find someone to help, if Lord Liu is telling the truth, then he should really guard against this little aunt.
Turning his head and turning around, Jiang Yan walked towards Jiang Chong's yard.
Li Huaiyu shrank to the bed in the main room before Jiang Xuanjin came back, looking at the patterns on the quilt in a daze.
Jiang Yan sensed that something was wrong, and she was as wary as Jiang Xuanjin, but she didn't even want to doubt her?
In fact, it doesn't hurt to suspect her, come and question her, she has prepared a series of lies, which she intends to use to win his trust.
However, there is no need, she doesn't have to do anything, Jiang Xuanjin stood in front of her very firmly, and also blocked other people's doubts for her.
Reaching out to cover his eyes, Huaiyu let out a low laugh.
In the past, Ziyang Jun had always stood opposite her, and he would refute whatever she said, and he was tense, wishing that she would go to Huangquan earlier, so that she could be honest and honest in the government and the opposition.
But now......
The door was pushed open, and Jiang Xuanjin stepped in and returned to her.
Huaiyu tilted her head to look at him, and reached out to hug him.
Now, this person is protecting her with sincerity.
"Why did you go for so long?" She laughed, "Is something wrong?" β
Jiang Xuanjin naturally raised her hand to support her dangling body, and said calmly: "No, Yan'er has just been appointed as the left supervisor of the court captain, and there are many trivial matters, so come and ask my opinion." β
Such an imposing accusation has become a trivial matter in his mouth.
Her fingers couldn't help but tighten slightly, she buried her head in his arms, and rubbed it gently.
"How?" Sensing that something was wrong with her, Jiang Xuanjin lowered her eyes and looked down, "Fang is so good, but suddenly he is not happy?" β
"How could I be upset?" She has a hard mouth.
Jiang Xuanjin stretched out his hand, pinched her chin and looked directly into her eyes: "Tell the truth." β
The tip of his heart trembled, Li Huaiyu calmed down, pinched his chin with a smile and his backhand, and said angrily: "How can the girl's thoughts be so easy to say?" It's too complicated! Instead of asking me why I'm upset, you should think of something to make me happy. β
"How are you going to be happy?" He frowned.
"It's simple, I'm happy to be with you." Huaiyu blinked, "Of course, if you bathe with me later, then I will be even happier." β
Choked and coughed, Jiang Xuanjin thought he had heard it wrong: "What? β
"Bathing!" Li Huaiyu said calmly, "The water in the bath room is ready, the bath is so big, you and I can accommodate it together." β
As soon as the roots of her ears turned red, Jiang Xuanjin lifted the quilt on the bed and put it on her head, and her tone was slightly angry: "What kind of system!" β
Innocently taking down the quilt, Huaiyu blinked: "Anyway, no one sees it, what kind of body do you want?" β
"Nope." He refused without thinking about it.
Such a debaucherous thing, how can the children of the Jiang family do it? Hugging her every day is already a break in his rules, and he still wants to take a bath together?
Seeing his annoyed and somewhat ashamed appearance, Li Huaiyu licked his lips, bullied him and kissed him, tossing and grinding, and his fingers were interlocked.
Jiang Xuanjin stiffened and frowned, wanting to push her away, but this person snorted softly, like a little milk cat, and reluctantly entangled.
"Don't do this." Between entanglements, he gritted his teeth and said, "I won't agree to anything!" β
Kissing his ear, Huaiyu chuckled, and his tone was like a fairy of a yΓ²u huΓ² scholar: "Try it~"
"Don't."
"What do you want~"
"Be serious!"
It's all husband and wife, what are you serious? Huaiyu got out of bed, grabbed his hand and walked to the window.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Xuanjin was puzzled.
Pushing open the window and looking, she pulled him: "Roll out." β
Flip window? Jiang Xuanjin frowned: "If you don't leave the door, why are you crazy?" β
"Don't you feel tired of walking through the front door every day?"
"You live every day, don't you feel tired?" Jiang Xuanjin said angrily, "Don't mess around! β
Huaiyu puffed out his mouth, and when he saw his appearance of being willing to die, his eyes rolled, and he climbed onto the windowsill by himself with his skirt.
"Hey!" Jiang Xuanjin stretched out his hand to pull her back, but the person moved very fast, jumped out in a jump, and landed steadily on the path outside.
Jiang Xuanjin's face darkened, and a pair of eyes looked at her with disgust.
"You want to say that I have no body and no manners?" Muttering, Huaiyu turned around, "You're really ......"
Before she could finish speaking, she squatted down with a "whoosh" and clutched her ankles in pain.
Jiang Xuanjin was about to teach her a lesson, when she saw her action, her eyes tightened, and without thinking about it, she jumped out with one hand on the windowsill, half-knelt in front of her and asked, "Stuck again?" β
Looking up with bared teeth, Huaiyu saw him, and he couldn't help but break his skills, and laughed proudly.
Fooled.
Reaching out and pinching her ankle, which was fine at all, Jiang Xuanjin gritted her teeth: "Lying? β
"No, Fang Cai felt a little painful, but as soon as you came out, it didn't hurt anymore!"
Sling the bull! Jiang Xuanjin got up and wanted to leave.
"Hey!" Huaiyu hurriedly grabbed him and dragged him in the other direction, "Come out, don't lose your temper, come with me!" β
ββ¦β¦β
The bath room was filled with mist, splendid clothes hung on the screen, and the bright red peony pressed the blue and amber cloud embroidery.
Jiang Xuanjin sat in the bath with a pale face, watching the person in the distance swim towards him.
"Stop." He whispered, "You're three feet away from me." β
Li Huaiyu smiled, wiped his face and said, "I'm not ashamed, what are you ashamed of?" β
Jiang Xuanjin gritted his teeth: "You have time to copy the Jiang family's family rules." β
"That kind of thing, what are you copying it for? Not practical at all. Huaiyu pouted, "What 'no lie, no lewdness', it's simply annihilating human desires, if you really do it, you will suffer." β
"How can we suffer from doing what is right...... What are you doing? β
In the blink of an eye, he swam to his side, and Huaiyu reached over and touched his shoulder very angrily.
Jiang Xuanjin was shocked: "Didn't you say that you wouldn't get closer?" β
Wrapped around his body, Huaiyu smiled meaningfully and hooked his neck, blocked him in the corner of the bath, and said in a low voice: "I just said that you will suffer." β
