Although it was night, the rule of the officials of the Wind Country was still clear, and as long as there was an urgent case, they could beat the drum late at night. It's just that few people dare to do this on weekdays. If the adults conclude that you are not an emergency, the anger that has been tossed and raised in the night will inevitably be sprinkled on you.

But Cheng Dazhi doesn't have to be afraid, there is his own master standing behind him, and someone is supporting him.

"What's the matter?" The gate of the government office was closed, and what came out was an inquiring errand boy, presumably staying in the government office for vigil.

"Cheng Dazhi, the commander of the guards in King Chen's mansion, has an important case to report. Bothering the brothers to spread the word? ”

"Huh?" The little official glanced at Cheng Dazhi, and then looked at King Chen and the crown prince by the light of the lanterns on the road......

Frightened, he hurriedly opened the door of the mansion, knelt down and asked Andao: "The little one has seen the two highnesses." Your Highness, please. ”

Because King Ling went directly to Cai Sheng's mansion yesterday and did not enter from the mansion, this little official did not know King Ling.

"Ai Ji, you go back to Lord Cai's house first, you should not be involved in this matter of ascending to the court." The prince commanded.

As he spoke, he glanced at Rong Yunxi. These words are obviously also aimed at King Chen.

"Yunxi, you also go back with Caixi. The king has taken care of the matter and will be back later. ”

"Yes." Rong Yunxi responded.

Seeing this, King Ling said, "Since it was the eldest brother and the third brother who sent these people to the official mansion and were tried by Lord Cai, I have no use here, and I will go back." ”

As he spoke, he nodded to King Chen and King Ling, and followed Rong Yunxi to the gate of Cai's mansion.

The crown prince glanced at King Chen: "Third brother, I hope Lord Cai can try the case faster, otherwise your head will ......"

The prince pointed to the top of King Chen's head, and then to the green willow branch that escaped from the wall: "It's the same color as it." ”

"Borrowing the words of the eldest brother, I think it is full of vitality and good." Chen Wang Lang smiled and strode into the mansion.

Cai Sheng heard someone beating and shouting at night, so he hurriedly put on the official boots of the government and went to the yamen.

Under his governance, Huai'an Mansion has been smooth and the people are happy, and no one has beaten the drum of reporting the case at night for three years. Last time, it was the widow of the Pan family who was killed, and her stupid girl, who was ruined, ran naked and crazy to report the case. That was three years ago.

Thinking about the situation of that day now, I feel very uncomfortable.

Although he dealt with it in time, he arrested the butcher of the house next door and sentenced him to death. But one was not careful, and the stupid girl, right next to her mother's corpse, committed suicide by hitting the wall......

"Hey......" Cai Sheng sighed.

His purpose as an official is to let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the family is harmonious and beautiful. But it was in his second year in office that something like this happened. Although this incident was not caused by him, it was still inseparable from his poor education of the people.

"My lord, the person who came to report the case is Cheng Dazhi, the commander of the guards in the palace of His Royal Highness King Chen. Commander Cheng led five people who were tied to their hands and feet with iron chains, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness King Chen also followed. Seems like a big deal. ”

"Did you ask someone to call the master bookkeeper? Prepare for ascension. Cai Sheng said.

"It's been called."

Cai Sheng and the officials hurried to the mansion, entered through the back door of the public hall, and arrived at the hall.

I saw a burly middle-aged man standing under the hall, and behind him were five people who were escorted and dressed in reckless clothes. The crown prince and King Chen stood aside, both standing with their hands in their hands, their faces calm.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, please take a seat." Cai Sheng gave way, where did he dare to sit? Naturally, he wanted to give up this position to the prince.

The prince waved his hand and said, "This palace is just responsible for sending these people over, and when the adults open the court to try it, this palace is going to go outside to avoid it." ”

"This ......," Cai Sheng was puzzled, "What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince need to avoid?" ”

"Hehe......" said the prince, "my lord, just ask, and you will understand." ”

"Big brother, I don't think you should avoid it. Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with the eldest brother. The younger brother can trust the eldest brother. King Chen smiled.

The prince smiled and said no more.

The chief bookkeeper was busy coming, and the four night watchmen were ready. Singing: "Mighty ......"

The prince didn't dare to sit, but Cai Sheng didn't dare to sit either, and asked King Chen: "His Royal Highness King Chen?" ”

"This king is just here to listen, and he won't be able to try the case. Lord Cai, try the case, don't let it go. King Chen said.

Cai Sheng had to smile awkwardly, but he didn't dare to sit down. However, Yue Huai took the same way, and he also came down to the hall, wandering around in front of these people, looking at them.

The crown prince smiled at King Chen: "Third brother, people, this palace has already helped you twist it over." There are still some things in the courtyard of the main palace, so go back first. You are here to accompany Lord Cai to try the case. ”

"Lord Cai, the trial is impartial." The prince commanded Cai Sheng again.

"Yes." Cai Sheng had no choice but to respond respectfully.

But my heart is already beating a drum. I thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so evasive, this case, could it be that it was a little involved with His Royal Highness the Prince?

The prisoners sent by the chief of the guards in the palace of His Royal Highness King Chen, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, should be avoided...... Could it be that these people were sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

"Huh? Big Brother ......"

King Chen called the prince, but the prince had already strode out of the palace.

King Chen smiled and didn't embarrass him. Since he wants to avoid suspicion, it doesn't hurt to fulfill him. Anyway, the prince has other ways to find out.

"Your Highness...... This ......" Cai Sheng looked at King Chen.

"It's okay, my lord, you just have to judge impartially." King Chen.

After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the court to the prince on the other side of the Cai Mansion and shouted, "Big brother, wait for me......"

"Hey...... Your Highness...... The palace ......" Cai Sheng chased him out and stopped when he chased to the door.

Shaking his head, he sighed secretly in his heart, and went to try the case himself.

"This is something related to the life of the third brother, why should the third brother avoid suspicion?"

"I didn't mean to avoid suspicion, isn't this afraid that you'll be bored when you go back alone, big brother?" King Chen said with a smile.

"Huh...... Why should the third brother be so cautious? Actually, it's not necessary. The crown prince ignored King Chen's jokes.

He's the third brother, and the city is very deep. In the ten sentences, I can't find a serious sentence. You can only figure out what he means by what he does. And sometimes, even from what he did, he couldn't figure out why.

Cai's West House, in front of a willow forest outside the stream.

Rong Yunxi looked at the trickling stream, and said lightly for a while: "Brother Ling, I think...... Miss Cai is very good, and she is the best person to be your princess. ”

"Xi'er!" King Ling stepped forward and forcibly pulled her body over, "I have already explained to you, I came to refuse her!" I knew that as long as the teacher was in the court for a day, you would not be able to go with me. But...... You have to trust me. ”

Of course she knew that he was here to reject Cai Miaorong.

It was also for their agreement.

But now that things are wrong, he came to keep the contract, and she didn't dare to respond.

Rong Yunxi hung his head, not daring to look at him.

Because she knew she couldn't be indifferent to him. When she has her back to him, she can speak calmly and indifferently, but when she is facing him, she can't.

When he said he was going to come back together, she knew he had to stop her and say something. So he only said that his stomach was uncomfortable, and he took Lu Caixi all the way away.

Brother Ling did see that she didn't want to talk, but somehow, she still blew the bone whistle. Three long and three short, that's their code.

This bone whistle was made by him from the finger bones of the wolf he killed.

He said, Xi'er, I will always protect you. I want you to know that where I am, it's safe.

Oh, yes...... It was safe to have him in the place.

But what about when he's gone?

The bone whistle sounded for a while, and Rong Yunxi couldn't bear it after all, so she came out to meet him.

His first words were: "Xi'er, if you believe me, I will never marry a wife." I'm here to refuse Miss Cai's family. ”

"Xi'er, you look at me." King Ling grabbed her shoulders and ordered.

Rong Yunxi didn't look up, but didn't look around: "Your Highness, if there is nothing else, the concubine should go back." lest my Highness misunderstand. ”

King Ling looked at her for a long time, and his hands slowly drooped, a little depressed......

"Xi'er, you hate me, hate me, don't you?"

How could I hate you? How can I blame you? Why?

But Rong Yunxi didn't ask.

"Xi'er, I know that on the day of the wedding, I was late. I know you blame me for not robbing relatives in the street, ruining your reputation and embarrassing you...... I regret it. ”

It turned out that he was talking about this.

What he said could only make her feel more sorry for him and feel more sorry for him, how could she resentful him and hate him?

Rong Yunxi wanted to say calm words, and wanted to persuade him to marry Miss Cai's family again. But she couldn't say it.

"Xi'er, I said, when you are seventeen years old, you ......"

"Second brother!" Suddenly, in the stream, someone was walking on a low bridge.

It's King Chen and the crown prince.

The prince was in front, looking like he was watching a good show. King Chen was behind, and he waved to them as if he was fine.

"Second brother, what are you waiting for us to do? Thankfully, we came back early, otherwise we would have waited until an hour later. King Chen smiled.

"Hehe......" The prince couldn't help it, turned around and said, "Third brother, I have to say, your tolerance is really strong!" I'm so scared for you, are you still here to make amends? Do I mean you're kind, or are you stupid? ”

Of course, the third child is not stupid, so it makes people feel not only ridiculous, but also hateful.

Your second brother is planning to cuckold you, in order to win him over, you are such a. Third brother, you can really be open-minded! If one day your second brother can send troops for you in exchange for possessing your princess, do you want to help them cheat?

"His Royal Highness the Prince......" Rong Yunxi saluted the prince.
