General Zhenguo, Xu Qiuchao, returned to Beijing.

Compared with the Qin family, this matter is really not worth mentioning, like a drop of dew falling into the vast ocean, although it has set off a few ripples, it can't raise the slightest wind and waves.

But Xia Sheng heard the news early the next morning.

It was Wang Er who was in charge of delivering the message, and by the way, he sent a mountain of invitations to Xia Sheng.

The origin of these invitations almost includes the mansions with names and surnames in the entire Luoyang City, there are wealthy families, there are princes and dignitaries, and naturally there are dozens of sects.

Xia Sheng didn't even look at it, so he handed the large stack of invitations to Ning Zheng's hand, and then asked Wang Er, "Then when can I see General Xu?"

With a gentle smile on his face, Wang Er said: "General Xu just returned to Beijing last night, he must have entered the palace to face the saint first, it is said that he has not returned to the house at this time, and the dignitaries and dignitaries in Luoyang City are also waiting in line, according to General Xu's temperament, although he does not like to form gangs, but the necessary entertainment still has to go, so on the side of Xia Gongzi, I am afraid that he will have to wait until two days after tomorrow at the earliest." ”

Xia Sheng nodded, and did not express any dissatisfaction with this.

If it had been a few days ago, he wouldn't have been so calm, but now it's different.

With Qin Yan winning the crown in the clan competition and being designated as the future successor of Shantang, Qin Siye entered the Luoyang General Hall, and was in charge of various affairs, the Qin family's attitude towards Xia Sheng has undergone earth-shaking changes, and now with the strong support of Shantang, Xia Sheng is no longer so eager to get help from the Xu family.

After all, in the matter of inquiring about the news, in the whole world, Shantang dares to say second, and no one dares to say first.

Moreover, compared with the Guohou Mansion in Xujia Town, the Qin family has a huge advantage in finding Daddy Xia.

For example, early this morning. In addition to receiving a lot of invitations from Wang Er, Xia Sheng also got good news from Shantang.

As early as nearly half a month ago, Xia Sheng heard from Wei Xianfeng that according to the information he gave, Shantang had captured three demon clan spies who had infiltrated the territory of the Dajin Dynasty, but unfortunately they were intercepted by the people of the Ruling Division on the way back to Beijing.

So Xia Sheng has always hoped to use the relationship between Shantang and the Adjudication Division. Let him personally go to the black prison of the Adjudication Division, so as to confirm whether the three demon clan spies have anything to do with his father's disappearance, but Wei Xianfeng has been prevaricating for various reasons.

There was no news of the matter.

But he never thought about it, but overnight, news had already come from Shantang's side, saying that the Adjudication Division had agreed to the matter, and at the latest this afternoon, Xia Sheng would be able to go to the Adjudication Division!

For Shantang's high efficiency, Xia Sheng seemed very satisfied. From this point of view, the benefits of this clan meeting were indeed much more than he imagined.

Sure enough, just after noon, Bi Qingwen took the carriage of the Adjudication Division to Yefu and asked to see Xia Sheng.

Qin Yan naturally couldn't come in person, because as early as today, when the sky was slightly bright, she went into the palace to thank her. He hadn't come back yet, so Shantang arranged for Bi Qingwen to take Xia Sheng to the Adjudication Division.

Speaking of which. After the clan comparison, Bi Qingwen's current identity has now risen with the tide, although he is still a minor deacon in his position, he has been officially transferred from the Yangcheng branch to the main hall, and now who in the entire Luoyang City does not know that he is a close confidant of the eldest lady of the Qin family?

Even in and out of the major royal palaces. Those in charge have to smile at each other.

Where have you ever seen a little deacon in the Church be treated like this?

However, Bi Qingwen has always been a smart person, he knows that he can have today because of the eldest lady, if Qin Yan falls one day. Then his fate may not be much better.

And who is Qin Yan's backer?

No, Bi Qingwen knows better than anyone that the reason why Qin Yan was able to make a splash in the clan competition and win the crown was because of Xia Sheng and Xia Gongzi!

So when it comes to Xia Sheng, Bi Qingwen doesn't dare to slack off.

After receiving the news from the clan, Bi Qingwen didn't even have time to eat lunch, so he rushed to the adjudication department as soon as possible, and after grinding with the other party for a long time, a carriage came and drove directly to the gate of the Weining Marquis Mansion and made a special trip to pick up Xia Sheng.

Xia Sheng saw Bi Qingwen's diligence in his eyes, but he didn't say it immediately, until he got into the carriage, and then he said quietly: "You have a heart." ”

Bi Qingwen laughed, and said continuously: "Why should Xia Gongzi be so polite to me, but when I get to the Adjudication Division later, I may not be able to accompany Xia Gongzi in, they have a lot of rules there, and I will wait outside the door when the time comes, so as not to cause trouble." ”

Xia Sheng nodded, and suddenly said again: "By the way, these days, you help me find out Meng Qi's whereabouts again, although the county lord of Pingnan said that she was rescued, but I still can't rest assured, as soon as there is news, report to me immediately." ”

Bi Qingwen nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Master Xia, I will do my best to do my best to handle this matter." ”

"Hmm......" Xia Sheng pondered for a moment, and then asked again: "Regarding the Adjudication Division, I heard that there have been some accidents recently, have you ever heard of them?"

Bi Qingwen replied without thinking: "I heard that it seems that their flag envoy was ambushed on the way to escort Pingnanhou into Beijing, and his whereabouts are still unknown, and the only one who escaped back to Beijing...... The martial king named Cao was already executed last night and beheaded on the spot. ”

Hearing this, Xia Sheng's heart suddenly tightened, but he didn't ask more, just nodded lightly: "I see." ”

And it was during this conversation between the two that the carriage had quietly driven into the mule and horse alley, and when it passed through the alley, it came to Gate Street, where the adjudication division was located.

If you really want to be serious, in fact, the Weining Marquis Mansion is not far from the Adjudication Division, and the two mansions are both east of Luoyang City, and it is only a quarter of an hour's drive at most.

At the same time, there are also the yamen of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, but it is farther and more prosperous than the Zhakou Street where the adjudication department is located.

After all, neither the business nor the ordinary residents would choose to be so close to the adjudication department, so as not to get into bad luck.

This is also why the rent of the shops on Zhakou Street is more than ten times lower than that in other parts of Luoyang City, but it is still rarely interested.

The moment the carriage drove into Gate Street, Xia Sheng could clearly feel that the neighborhood had suddenly become much more desolate, it was really hard to imagine that there was such a place in the bustling capital of Luoyang.

The carriage stopped in front of the gate of the Adjudication Division, and there was already a person waiting there, it was a small official of the Adjudication Division, although it was not as evil as people thought, hideous and terrifying, but his face was indeed a little pale and thin, and there was no expression on his face, as if he was wearing a mask.

Xia Sheng got out of the car, and at first glance, he saw the stone tablet mentioned by Emperor Gaozong's imperial pen.

There is no plaque on the lintel of the adjudication division, and the three big characters of the adjudication division cannot be seen, because this stone tablet is the biggest symbol of the adjudication division for hundreds of years.

It also proclaims to the world the terrible privileges they hold in their hands.

All major events in the world cannot be decided. (To be continued.) )
