The Imperial Study.

Jiang Ming frowned all the way from the Four Princes' Mansion to the imperial study, thinking about how to talk to the emperor about the bounty, and besides, Gonggong Gui had been in the imperial study for a long time, and there was still no movement inside.

"Your Majesty, Lord Jiang is asking to see you outside!" "Gonggong Gui walked in from outside, walked to the emperor's side and whispered.

The emperor didn't raise his head when he heard this, and slowly spoke: "He is not handling cases in the Criminal Department at this time, what are you doing here?"

"This, Lord Jiang said that there is something important to tell the emperor, and the servants don't know what Lord Jiang wants to tell him!"

The Emperor raised his head from the fold, squinted his eyes, and said, "Let him in!"

"Yes!" Grandpa Gui walked down.

But after a while, Jiang Ming walked in, bowed and bowed, and said respectfully: "Minister Jiang Ming knocks to see the emperor!"

The Emperor raised his head still and his voice came out, asking, "What made you come to me in such a hurry?"

"Your Majesty, the ministers......" Jiang Ming said hesitantly, that is, after talking for a long time, he still didn't explain what he was coming for.

The emperor listened to it for a long time, but he didn't hear a reason, so he couldn't help frowning and looking up at Jiang Ming who was kneeling on the ground, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you want to tell me?"

"Minister, minister is for ......" for the emperor's increase in your bounty!

"Huh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Ming, who was spitting, and said coldly: "If you don't say it again, I will hang your head outside the noon gate!"

"Yes, it was the fourth princess who said that she could help with the case, but there were conditions. Jiang Ming was so frightened that his body trembled violently, and he said it quickly.

When the emperor heard this, his eyes showed a touch of contemplation, and he slowly put down the brush in his hand, thinking of Mu Qingyan, the princess of King's Landing, the woman who could lose the color of the world as long as she stood quietly and smiled slightly.

It's just that no matter how the sharpness in her eyes is hidden in her calm and waveless eyes, the wind and bones in her bones can still be easily perceived, not intentionally but invisibly.

Such a woman with a sharper momentum than a man, there have been two in the Daduan Dynasty, one is Mu Qingyan's mother-in-law Ye Xin, and the other is Mu Qingyan herself.

"On what terms?"

The princess said that the bounty was a little less, and that she was not interested in it. Jiang Ming risked death to say.

"Then did she say how much she wanted?" the emperor frowned, but he was surprised, no one had ever dared to bargain with him as an emperor like this.

"The emperor atoned for his sins, and the ministers ...... The fourth prince said to let the emperor watch it. Jiang Ming spoke, and his head was even lower to stick to the ground.

"Looking at it, that is, the bounty does not meet their wishes, so Mu Qingyan will not help with the case?" the emperor frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Is this what the fourth prince means, the minister doesn't know!" Jiang Ming trembled, this presiding judge of the Criminal Department is really difficult to do, can he resign now and return to his hometown?

"I don't know, I don't know if I'm guessing?" the Emperor's face was dark, and his eyes showed King's Landing's face that was forever contemptuous of the world.

"The minister just conveyed the meaning of the fourth prince, the minister really doesn't know, please forgive the emperor!" Jiang Ming said with certainty at this time.

"What do the four princes and princesses mean the more the better?"

"There is such an ingredient in it...... Jiang Ming didn't dare to mess around, and said boldly.

Not surprisingly, the emperor let out a low roar and said, "Damn thing, bastard thing!!"

The emperor was furious, would he punish him too? Jiang Ming was afraid to death at this time, and he didn't dare to say anything as if he was lying on the ground as a transparent person.

In the imperial study, the silence is frightening.

However, there are always accidents happening, and Jiang Ming couldn't help but let out a fart to break the silence of the imperial study.

"Puff~"

A foul smell slowly diffused in the air, and the emperor couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose with his hands, and said, "Bastard, what kind of fart stinks?"

"The minister should die, the minister has a stomach, the minister didn't mean it, the emperor forgives the crime!" Jiang Ming's face was like a pig's liver, and he was about to drip blood, this is a big crime to lose his honor in front of the emperor!

"Get out!"

"Yes, yes!!" Jiang Ming really rolled out of the ground.

Seeing Jiang Ming obey like this, the emperor's eyes sank, and he said, "The bounty has been increased to 100,000 taels of gold." ”

"Obey the order!"

Jiang Ming listened, rolled faster, and finally put down a big stone in his heart without worrying.

When the emperor was the only one left in the imperial study, a dragon guard flashed.

"Master, there is a secret fold. Long Wei knelt on the ground, his hands folded.

After the emperor reached out and took the secret fold and opened it, his expression suddenly changed, and he asked in a deep voice, "Why did he come to Daduan Dynasty at this time?"

Chu Jin actually came to the Daduan Dynasty for what reason? It was worth letting him take such a risk and appear in the Daduan Dynasty when the situation in the Chu Dynasty was unstable?

"Have you found out what you are here for?" the Emperor asked, frowning deeply.

"Back to the master, I haven't found it for the time being, and my subordinates have only found his footprints. ”

The Emperor looked at the dragon guard kneeling below and said, "Continue to keep an eye on the investigation. ”

"Yes!"

Long Wei disappeared in the blink of an eye, just like when he came.

The emperor looked at the secret fold in his hand, and there were countless questions in his heart......

And, at present, in addition to the princess of Chu and Chu Xun, the prince of Chu, there is now another prince of Chu in the Daduan Dynasty, which is too weird!

Thinking around, there are so many bad things in the past two days, first of all, the ministers of the court and the court are panicked and don't know who is next, and now the prince of Chu has a secret entry that makes people feel even more worried in their hearts, and then the bastard of King's Landing actually united with his daughter-in-law to pit his royal brother's silver, which really him off!

However, he could only swallow his anger in his stomach, and the guy in King's Landing said that the price was not enough and he would not help with the case, that would be absolutely not done.

It's hateful!!

At this moment, the emperor gritted his teeth in annoyance, the group of people who ate dry rice in the Criminal Department, if they had the ability, how could they let King's Landing and Mu Qingyan partner to pit his silver......

Four Princes' Mansions.

"The princess's approach is to make an example of the chickens and monkeys, and once and again warn the women in the backyard who are about to move, calm, ruthless and not afraid at all. Shao Dong looked at Zhang Qing and said.

"Well, the princess has always been sophisticated in trouble, and many practices are unheard of and unseen. When it's time to be soft, she will never hurt, and when it's time to be ruthless, she is more ruthless than anyone else. However, it is not enough to say that she is ruthless, the refugees outside the City God Temple were all treated by herself, and the epidemic was brought under control, and she would personally teach the refugees to do simple ways to prevent and treat illness, and she would even provide the refugees with clothes, food and medicinal materials as her life, all of which cost a lot of money!" Zhang Qing said, these are all found by An Yi.

At that time, Mu Qingyan was not a princess, she did everything when she was in the dark, she thought that others didn't know, but in fact, everything was moving under the master's eyelids.

Probably because of this reason, the master's eyes when he looked at the princess seemed to have more emotions in it.

When Shao Dong heard this, he was surprised, Mu Qingyan bargained with her master, and her face was in pain. Not at all such a generous person!

However, Mu Qingyan's reaction was really surprising to him, it was rare for a woman who had just reached the end of her life to have the courage to fight against her master.

Good marriages are all strong alliances, at the beginning, when he heard that his master wanted the infamous Mu Qingyan to be the fourth princess, he was really worried that Mu Qingyan would make the four princes' mansions miserable.

Now it seems that he is thinking too much!

"It is our blessing to have such a princess. Shao Dong said with relief.

Zhang Qing listened and said: "But the princess is a little elusive, and her temper is not nothing, it's just ...... Anyway, don't mess with her. Otherwise, the consequences will be quite serious!" he swore by his experience.

Hearing this, Shao Dong frowned and said, "The princess seems to have left the mansion just now, is this okay?

Just now, a servant came to pass on to him, and the princess took two maids to ask for a carriage and went out.

"The princess said it in front of her master, and besides, the princess's skills are estimated to be difficult for you to get any benefits. "Thinking of the fact that he was injured, I really feel ashamed, at that time, the princess was not as energetic as she is now.

Shao Dong listened, raised his eyebrows, thoughtfully, and said, "When I was away, so many things happened. I am really surprised that the princess is so powerful!"

"Well, a lot of things happened when you weren't there. There is also Zhang Heng's injury, and Anyi's hands were all healed by the princess, but the young master of Baili said that he was not saved. ”

"It's so powerful, it's a terrible thing to be an enemy. "With the nature of the master, in the face of such a person, he will either surrender or kill to prevent future troubles.

Then, is Mu Qingyan's existence the love of the master, or is it really emotional?

Shao Dong's eyes became deeper and deeper, and he had the impression that the master was a person who broke off his love, and he had seen a woman who was several times more beautiful than the princess, and the master could also swing his sword and slash without hesitation. Mu Qingyan, he really didn't know what to think about this......

Now it seems that the master's attitude towards the princess is still conniving. "Mu Qingyan is a special existence in the Four Princes' Mansion, Zhang Qing is absolutely sure that the master is now pampering Mu Qingyan.

"Well, the master's vision has always been very poisonous, and Mu Qingyan is really very suitable to be the fourth princess, but such a woman will probably attract the eyes of many men, especially those who are ambitious. In this case, it will bring endless trouble to the master, and it is not a good thing to say. ”

Shao Dong can say with certainty that he has been traveling south and north for so many years, and he is doing things that specialize in managing people's hearts. Many times, he can have a rough idea of something just by looking at it. This is an intuition that only a person who has experienced enough can have, and his intuition has always been accurate enough.

It is precisely because of this that the master will rest assured that the entire Four Kings Mansion will be handed over to him to take care of.

There is also the incident of this chrysanthemum maid, Mu Qingyan doesn't seem to be surprised at all, and her expression seems to be mentally prepared.

Could it be that Mu Qingyan forced Lan Zhuju and the three generals' mansions to her maids to bring them to the Four Princes' Mansions, not because she couldn't refuse, but because she had already had an idea, and it was used to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys?

Why? Because the women in the backyard of the Four Princes' Mansion were either sent by the emperor or stuffed into it by the queen mother, and more often than the powerful and powerful families of the General's Mansion were sent by them, so Lan Zhuju became Mu Qingyan's pawn......

Thinking about it like this, Shao Dong's heart jumped suddenly, this plan, this mind, this scheming...... It's not easy!!

Zhang Qing listened, was silent for a while, and said meaningfully: "However, only such a resourceful and capable woman is worthy of the master, worthy of standing by the master's side, and can go further hand in hand with the master." ”

Shao Dong didn't speak when he heard it, Zhang Qing was right, if it weren't for a woman like Mu Qingyan, no one would be worthy of the master at all, but he was worried that the master would have too many emotions that he shouldn't have in the face of Mu Qingyan.

He was afraid, worried that these emotions would cause his master to make a wrong judgment......

"Since the master agrees with the person, then we should respect the master's mother, and we must listen to what she says. Shao Dong took a deep breath and said.

Of course, Zhang Qing understood what Shao Dong said, Shao Dong was a cunning and shrewd person, and his eyes were also very accurate, when he was in the yard, Shao Dong had already patted Mu Qingyan's ass. That proves that Shao Dong recognizes Mu Qingyan, but he still has hidden worries in his heart.

"Well, we've been aware of this for a long time!" Zhang Qing said.

......

Mu Qingyan sat in the carriage, leisurely flipping through the books, looking very pleasant.

"Miss, let's come out like this, will the prince settle accounts after the autumn?" Yan'er asked with some concern, sitting there also fidgeting.

According to past experience, what did the young lady do wrong, the fourth prince would not have had a seizure at that time, several times, the fourth prince appeared in the Summer Palace at night, and she and Luan'er were scared half to death......

So, you really can't blame her for thinking so!

Hearing this, Mu Qingyan raised her head and said, "He is a fart after the autumn, and I haven't settled accounts with him yet!"

King's Landing, this bastard, actually calculated her, fortunately, she was mentally prepared, and she had prepared three sets of plans in her heart, otherwise, she really didn't know how to deal with it.

Although, knowing that the few maids given by the General's Mansion are not fuel-efficient lamps, they are still very easy to use, and those tiger-like women in the backyard will restrain a lot this time, at least, they will not bother her in the short term.

During this time, she has to do a lot of things, hehe......

"Miss, you're talking foul again, Mama Qiu is going to hit your palm again!" Luan'er reminded very inappropriately.

"......" Mu Qingyan looked at Luan'er and said, "Now, can only the three of us not say such terrifying things?"

Luan'er replied: "Miss, plus the coachman, there should be four people here." ”

Who is going to tell you about arithmetic!!

Mu Qingyan was silent for a while, gritted her teeth and said, "Xiao Luan'er, your young lady has never read, don't take it too seriously!"

Luan'er immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Miss, how much bounty do you think Lord Jiang will ask the emperor for?"

Yan'er was also very curious and said, "Yes, Lord Jiang seems to attach great importance to this case, and he has personally asked for it." ”

"Jiang Ming, this person, will not tell the emperor how much, the focus is on the words of the prince of our family. And of course this matter is important, if you think about a court official who was killed for no reason, and the murderer has not been found for a long time, will there be other big officials who will be assassinated next?" Mu Qingyan said lightly, and the book in his hand also turned another page.

Besides, who is Xiao Ping? Xiao Ping is Xiao Guifei's own brother, the third master of Xiao Hou's Mansion, even if he is not a member of the imperial court, how can Xiao Guifei let Xiao Ping die in vain.

It's just that she didn't expect that someone would dare to kill Xiao Ping, so she had to wonder what Xiao Ping had done to kill Xiao Ping despite all the dangers that might be wanted by the whole country?

Thinking of this, a chill surged in Mu Qingyan's heart, this person's approach is worth exploring......

"It's hard to say, I don't know why the murderer killed Xiao Ping, according to the time of death that Jiang Ming said, and it was chosen during the marriage of the fourth prince and the young lady. Is it possible that the murderer knew Xiao Parallel's whereabouts, and any escape route was planned in advance, so he was not caught?" Luan'er thought for a while and said what she thought in her heart.

Yan'er also said: "Could it be that someone from Lin Xiangguo's Mansion did it?" After all, the current situation of Lin Xiangguo's Mansion has a lot to do with Xiao Ying, so in a fit of anger, he wanted to vent and kill Xiao Ping to vent his anger. ”

When Mu Qingyan heard this, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she said: "The direction you are considering is possible, but it is absolutely impossible to be Lin Xiangguo's Mansion, because Lin Xiangguo's Mansion is now in a mess, where can I pay attention to other things when I have time." It's just that Luan'er said yes, the murderer must have known Xiao Ping's whereabouts, or rather, the murderer had been following Xiao Ping for a long time. ”

"Such a person's mind is too strong, he has already figured out how to kill people, needless to say, he has also figured out how to make people not find the murder weapon so that they can't guess the murderer. Yan'er couldn't help but shudder when she thought about it, feeling like the murderer had killed not a human but a fish.

"It is precisely because of this that Jiang Ming wants to come to your young lady, and your young lady can make money, otherwise, you two will wait to eat white porridge together!" Mu Qingyan lowered her head and looked at the book intently, this medical skill was found by her mother from the dowry, and there were many very interesting insights and some medicinal materials and medicinal properties that she had not seen.

I really didn't expect that Ye Xin left many unique books, all of which were very interesting books, and the content in them opened her eyes to see that there are so many beautiful and mysterious places in this world.

If you have the opportunity, you must travel to the places mentioned in the books, so that you can count yourself as not living in vain in this world.

"But...... Miss, do you really want to take on this case?" Luan Er looked at Mu Qingyan with some concern, if she took this case, would she cause death?

"Look at the price, if you are satisfied with the price, everything will be easy to do!" Mu Qingyan said lightly, not worried at all.

"That murderer is so cruel, if he knew that Miss was going to conduct an autopsy, would he come to assassinate him in order not to reveal his identity?" Luan'er still couldn't help but express the hidden worries in her heart.

"When I am a wealthy man, hehe, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless!" Mu Qingyan's voice carried a touch of coldness, and said, "You two should be more careful in the future. ”

"Yes, we will!" Luan'er and Yan'er replied in unison.

What Miss wants to do will never be easily changed, and besides, Miss should not have any problems if she is so capable, as long as they protect themselves well, it will be the greatest support for Miss.

After solving the doubts between the two, Mu Qingyan continued to look at the medical book in her hand, but in a moment, she finished reading a medical book that was thick enough to be used as a pillow.

Luan'er and Yan'er looked at the medical book that was put aside in surprise, and then looked at the young lady who had closed her eyes and recuperated, and they were very surprised in their hearts, the speed of the young lady's reading seemed to be getting faster and faster.

The large number of books left by the lady have been almost read by the young lady, and this is not the point after reading it, the point is that their young lady still has a super memory, and she can not forget it after reading it.

I wondered why they knew, because one day the two of them were going to help Miss sort out the books, and because there were too many of them, they couldn't start if they messed up, and Miss actually glanced at it and helped solve the problem.

It's so powerful, from then on, they admired Miss even more!

The carriage walked very slowly, because Mu Qingyan said that today was purely a walk out of the house, and there was no clear destination.

Therefore, the carriage has always been stop-and-go, and Mu Qingyan will ask the coachman to stop wherever she wants to drive, and then get out of the car to take a walk.

Suddenly, a white fox jumped through the window of the carriage, breaking the peace in the carriage.

Mu Qingyan, who had her eyes closed, didn't move her eyelids, and the silver needle in her hand flew out and was firmly inserted in the fox's way.

Under the eyes of Luan'er and Yan'er, the white fox dodged the attack of the silver needle with a very strange jumping arc, and then stared at Mu Qingyan vigilantly with a pair of smart red eyes.

Mu Qingyan opened her eyes and looked at this agile little beast, her eyes couldn't help but feel cold, if she was not mistaken, this white fox is a very rare golden-eyed white fox of the ancient fox clan, how could something that can be called a divine object come here?

Because, among the books left by her mother, there is a book called Beast Strange Records, which describes the existence of this white fox, and the biggest feature of this ancient spiritual white fox is that pair of eyes, which usually look like other ordinary white foxes but are not all red, but as long as they think about things, their eyes will turn golden.

Moreover, the blood of this white fox can prolong life, and it is for this reason that this white fox is about to become extinct by humans.

"Who told you to run in here?"

The white fox looked at Mu Qingyan's unkind expression, suddenly trembled, hid behind Yan'er, and then raised his pitiful eyes to look at Yan'er.

Where could Yan'er stand such a cute little animal, and then, looking at Mu Qingyan, said: "Miss, why don't we take it in, it may be lost, and we will send it back when its owner finds it, okay?"

"Not good!" Mu Qingyan looked at the white fox and gave her a grimace when Yan'er couldn't see it, and it exploded in an instant.

Damn little brute, you know who's going to help it!

Ran to her carriage, and dared to work against her, tired of it!

"Miss......" Yan'er felt the soft little thing behind her, and her heart softened instantly.

At this time, a noisy sound was remembered outside the carriage.

"Why didn't you disappear when you saw someone running here?"

The voice is a bunch of men, and the voice is very rough and has a bit of a killing flavor.

As soon as these voices came out, the white fox straightened up vigilantly for an instant, and stared straight out of the carriage window with a pair of eyes.

When she arrived here, Mu Qingyan immediately understood that this little beast was chased and killed by hunters, and then she couldn't escape and hid in the carriage.

Mu Qingyan looked at the white fox with a vigilant expression like a person, her eyes flashed, she suddenly smiled, and said slowly: "Do you want to be hunted in the future?"

Luan Er and Yan'er looked at their young lady, their expressions at the moment were very similar to those of the uncle who abducted children, and they couldn't help but stare at the little fox with their whole hearts.

Why is the young lady talking to a little fox like this?

Also, what the young lady said meant that the little fox came in because he was hunted down.

The little white fox tilted his head from behind Yan'er and looked at Mu Qingyan, his eyes rolling, as if to verify whether what Mu Qingyan said was true.

"Stop!"

The carriage suddenly came to a halt, and the people in the carriage couldn't help but tip forward.

Mu Qingyan's gaze changed from the blandness just now, and instead looked at the little white fox very coldly, and said, "Now nod, I am your master, shake your head, and I will hand you over to the people outside." ”

A set of two conditions, democracy of your own choosing.

"Woo woo...... The little white fox barked weakly at Mu Qingyan twice, as if to say how can you treat small animals so cruelly.

"One, two......" Mu Qingyan raised three fingers, but no matter how pitiful the little white fox complained with her pitiful eyes, she coldly signaled that she would throw it out after the three fingers were finished.

"The people inside come out ......"

At this time, a raging sound came from outside the carriage.

The little white fox jumped on Mu Qingyan's shoulder without hesitation, looking very well-behaved.

Mu Qingyan looked at it, the corners of her mouth moved slightly, and said: "Hey, don't pretend, I know that you have to recognize the master, I am your real master, and now you think you can deceive me? Believe it or not?"

The little white fox listened, and finally stared at Mu Qingyan with very serious eyes, as if to say how could Mu Qingyan know so much?

Mu Qingyan didn't care what it thought, stretched out her index finger, and said, "Bit!"

Luan'er and Yan'er listened to it in their ears and saw it in their eyes, and looked at Mu Qingyan very incomprehensibly, why did they put their fingers to the little white fox's mouth and let them bite?

Next, the little white fox really opened its mouth, bit Mu Qingyan's index finger and sucked it, and then those red eyes turned golden.

Mu Qingyan was very satisfied when she saw this, because this proved that the little white fox already belonged to her.

In the future, the little white fox has her blood in her body, no matter to the ends of the earth, the little white fox can find her, I heard, this is called the blood sword, she and the little white fox will have telepathy.

I don't know if it's true? It's fucking amazing, of course, she believes it, after all, the soul has done everything, and this little bit is nothing.

"Okay, let's go out with your master and I to see who's in the way." Mu Qingyan got up and walked out.

Luan'er and Yan'er stood on the side of the carriage door and changed the curtain.

When she walked out of the carriage, Mu Qingyan saw a bunch of men with animal traps around the carriage, and their expressions were very unkind.

"What do you want to do?" Mu Qingyan didn't expect that the carriage would come out of the woods outside the city wall.

"This young lady, you are mistaken. We didn't want to do anything, we were just catching the white fox. In the process of catching it just now, it seems to have jumped into your carriage, can you please return the white fox to me?"

A handsome man at the head looked at Mu Qingyan, and then looked at the white fox on Mu Qingyan's shoulder, and said politely, but ignoring his eyes would make people feel better.

Luan'er and Yan'er glanced at each other, and they both stepped forward to block the pair of peeping eyes.

"Who are you?" Mu Qingyan touched the little white fox on her shoulder with her hand, and said lightly.

"In Xia Lin Tingsheng, I don't know the girl's name?" Lin Tingsheng looked at Mu Qingyan, who was like a fairy, and said.

The surname is Lin! Wouldn't it be someone from Lin Xiangguo's Mansion again?

"What does Lin Xiangguo's Mansion have to do with you?" Mu Qingyan's voice became more and more cold.

When Lin Tingsheng heard this, he was surprised, he didn't expect that the woman in front of him would know that he was from Lin Xiangguo's mansion.

"Could it be that Miss also has a friendship with Xiangguo Mansion?" Lin Tingsheng looked at Mu Qingyan and thought to himself that if he really had a friendship, how could he not know such an outstanding woman.

"It's not good, and it's going to get worse in the future. Because, this white fox you are going to catch is my pet. Mu Qingyan replied neatly.

The people in Lin Xiangguo's Mansion are really annoying!

Lin Tingsheng listened, looked at Mu Qingyan tightly with a pair of eyes, frowned, and said, "I don't care what you had with Xiangguo Mansion before, but you must return this white fox to me today." ”

This white fox is a matter of the Lin family's entire family turnaround, and it must not be missed.

Even if it's a robbery, he has to snatch it back!

"Yours, stop telling jokes, when did my pet become yours?" Mu Qingyan said coldly.

Sure enough, what kind of family raises what kind of people, no wonder the more you look at it, the more disgusted you become.

It's them, Mu Rin is going to be sent to the border land!

"Then don't blame me for being rude......"
