Chapter 407: Departure for Zongzhou
The night was dark, and Song Yuanxi came back from the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Recently, he presided over the trial of Nan Rongran's case and arrested a large number of his comrades.
On the desk, most of the list has been marked with black lines, and only one name remains, which is still retained steadily.
Gu Haoqing.
Gu Hao's ancestor was the founding of the country, and he was a good man who was famous in the imperial court.
Without solid evidence, there is no way to start.
And he is also Nan Rongran's biggest reliance after escaping from Kyoto.
Jiang Wanxiu looked at the list, smiled lightly and said, "This person is cunning and cunning, I'm afraid that he would have destroyed the correspondence and account books with Nan Rongran a long time ago." ”
"Tomorrow I'm going to Zongzhou." Song Yuanxi said in a deep voice.
Jiang Wanxiu smiled, "I just rescued the driver, but the Huangting side was generous and allowed me to take leave." ”
Song Yuanxi looked at her, this little woman was actually planning to go with him.
But that's fine, he doesn't want to be separated from her anyway.
Half a month later, Zongju.
"Hey, why is Zongzhou so lively today, aren't we coming over in a low-key manner? Could it be that the prefect of Zongzhou already knows, so he welcomes it? An Shuhui lifted the curtain and looked out curiously.
Zongju is a very prosperous city.
At this time, the street was clean and tidy, and there were officials on both sides to maintain order, pulling red silk and satin, and putting up lights.
What's even more exaggerated is that there are a few graceful women carrying flower baskets at the gate of the city, throwing flower petals from time to time, which looks like they are welcoming some big person.
Mo Zixuan followed her gaze and shook his head, "It shouldn't be to greet us, or to know that we are coming, who doesn't know that the prince has always disliked these false courtesies, and the prefect of Zongzhou put on such a big battle, aren't you afraid that the prince won't like it." ”
Between questions and answers, both of them looked at the pair of beautiful people on the main seat, waiting for their opinions.
Red clothes and white dresses are playing against each other, beautiful as a picture.
"I just heard the people outside talking about what kind of general......" Jiang Wanxiu carried a white child and put it on the chessboard, her eyebrows and eyes were slightly curved,
"It's none of our business."
Song Yuanxi slowly put away the sunspots, and said lazily: "The emperor summoned the two departments of holly dragon and tiger to enter Beijing, and went from Jiangdong to Kyoto, just passing through Zongzhou. ”
"Oh, it's a military right!" An Shuhui reacted, and suddenly became a little excited, "If it's the Dragon and Tiger Army, then we will run into the clansmen of the Shizi family, and if it is the Holly Army, we will meet the people of the county lord's family." What a coincidence. ”
Ye Qingling, who was sitting opposite An Shuhui, pursed his lips and smiled, "I received a letter from my cousin the day before yesterday, near Zongzhou, according to the footsteps, if there is no accident, it is time to arrive in Zongzhou today." ”
The emperor summoned the holly and the dragon and tiger into Beijing.
The general of the Dragon and Tiger Army is the son of Ye Gongzi, Ye Shaohui.
The old man of the Ye family is a first-class general, one brother died on the battlefield, and one sister married the younger sister of Song Yuanxi's father.
Counting it up, Jiang Wanxiu also wants to call Ye Shilin a cousin.
However, the status of the prince is noble, and Ye Shilin does not dare to shout at his cousin in front of the son.
Under the guise of touring the mountains and rivers, they came to investigate Gu Haoqing's criminal evidence.
While a few people were talking, suddenly two officials stopped the carriage and scolded, "Get out of the way!" Go to the side, not allowed to enter. ”
"The door is open, why don't you let people in." An Shuhui lifted the curtain of the car and said unhappily.
When the official saw that this woman was like the daughter of an official family, he hurriedly changed his face, "This young lady forgives me, you blocked the way of the Patriotic Army, and the Patriotic Army will arrive immediately, please go to the side first, and wait for the Patriotic Army to pass before leaving." ”
"It's really the Patriotic Army, but this score is too big, why are others not allowed to enter the city when the Patriotic Army comes? What kind of rule is this? ”
An Shuhui said unhappily: "We have all arrived at the city gate, you let me in, hasn't the Patriotic Army not come yet?" ”
The official said, "That's not good! I see that you are also a lady from the official family, but this time it is General Ye, do you dare to provoke General Ye? ”
Ye Qingling couldn't help but be embarrassed, Jiang Wanxiu was also a gentleman, and was trying to let An Shuhui act in a low-key manner, but he entered the city one after another, and there was no need to fight, so he heard a voice full of anger scolding.
"What are you doing to eat, even get a carriage away, General Ye will arrive immediately, let him see the carriage blocking the middle of the road, what kind of system!"
"Lord Prefect, I think there seems to be a daughter of an official family in this carriage," the official explained weakly......
Tao Ziyou snorted and kicked on the carriage, "Useless guy, quick, pull the carriage away for me." What an official daughter! ”
He saw that this car was simple and did not have the logo of a wealthy family, so he naturally despised a little bit.
Even if she is the daughter of an official eunuch, she must be just a petty official with sesame mung beans.
"How dare you kick the carriage!" An Shuhui's eyes widened as if she had seen a ghost.
In her lifetime, she actually saw someone dare to kick the carriage of the prince.
Tao Ziyou sneered, and kicked it up again, "What is a broken carriage, get out of the way!" ”
Jiang Wanxiu's face was cold, and she persuaded her with good words, she could still think about it.
But he dared to kick the carriage of the prince, and he thought about it.
"What do you want to do if I don't get out of the way?" Jiang Wanxiu's thin lips were raised and she said coldly.
This woman's beauty is captivating, like a touch of light, rendering the morning light a little brighter.
Tao Ziyou just saw her through the half of the curtain raised, his eyes were straight, and he thought that General Ye has always been a good beauty, if he saw this girl, he would definitely like it.
"Take it for me!" Tao Ziyou said immediately.
Bang la blah.
A group of officers and soldiers surrounded the carriage and couldn't get through.
"What crime have I committed, and you want to take me?" Jiang Wanxiu raised her eyebrows, and An Shuhui next to her was already incredibly stunned.
Tao Ziyou pointed at Jiang Wanxiu and sneered, "You blocked the city gate, this official now suspects that you are an assassin and wants to take the opportunity to assassinate General Ye." Someone, arrest this group of assassins for me. ”
"Say that I am an assassin without any evidence, the law of the southern kingdom clearly states that the government must have conclusive evidence to take people, and then issue an arrest warrant, as the prefect of the dignified Zongzhou, don't you even know the laws of the southern kingdom?" Jiang Wanxiu said coldly,
"Which law says that only high-ranking officials and nobles can walk on the official road at the gate of the city, and ordinary people can't walk."
Ordinary people, this is a trap.
Sure enough, when Tao Ziyou heard her say that she was an ordinary person, he was more confident, and he jumped into the pit in stride, laughing wildly and laughing, "In Zongzhou, this official is the law, do you think you can walk sideways after reading the law for a few days?" The official has arrested you today, and even an ordinary person dares to stand in the way. Someone, arrest her! ”
Jiang Wanxiu waited for his words, a playful smile appeared on her lips, and she was about to speak, when she heard the sound of rolling horses' hooves behind her.
"Tao Ziyou, what are you doing?" An imposing voice shouted.
"General Ye, welcome General Ye!" Tao Ziyou hurriedly stepped forward and said to the heroic general who was riding on the horse, "General Ye, there are untouchables blocking your way, and the lower officials are getting them away." ”
Ye Shilin glanced at the carriage condescendingly, and said unhappily, "Not yet." ”
He has always liked pomp and circumstance, and Tao Ziyou did what he liked to make such a big battle, but now he is being blocked, and he doesn't like it in his heart.
General Ye has spoken, and everyone is still stunned for what to do. Arrest. Tao Ziyouhu fake tiger Wei shouted.
As soon as the words fell, a long sword suddenly swished in the carriage directly on Tao Ziyou's neck, Lin Ze held a sharp blade, stood on the car, and looked at Tao Ziyou coldly, "Who do you want to catch?" ”
"Bold, he actually attacked the imperial court officials, come on, take it for me!" Tao Ziyou's face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly shouted.
Jiang Wanxiu said slowly, "Governor Zongzhou, if you say another word, I don't dare to guarantee that your head is still on your neck." ”
"General Ye, help!" Tao Ziyou shivered and hurriedly shouted.
Ye Shilin's face sank, someone actually committed murder in front of him, the other party didn't put himself in his eyes at all, he felt embarrassed, and shouted angrily, "A bold thief, you dare to hold the court officials hostage, and you will be arrested immediately." ”
"The prefect of Zongzhou arrested people for no reason, and General Ye was a second-class general of the dynasty, but he was indiscriminate, regardless of the reason, regarded the people as thieves, and blessed this kind of dog official who cares about people's lives."
Jiang Wanxiu said lightly, "It seems that the rumored General Ye is not as famous as meeting." ”
Ye Shilin's face became even more gloomy, "Come on, arrest these thieves for me!" Seeing that the conflict was about to break out, Ye Qingling said helplessly,
"Cousin, cousin-in-law, they are all a family, and my cousin doesn't know the situation, so don't make any misunderstandings." The quiet female voice from the carriage made Ye Shilin's gloomy face just now stunned, and he looked at the woman in purple next to him, "Yao'er, is this Ling'er's voice?" ”
"It's a bit like, Sister Ling'er, is that you?" The woman in purple hurriedly shouted at the carriage.
This woman in purple is not very old, she is not yet in time, she is wearing a luxurious purple skirt, she looks good-looking, and there are one or two shadows of Ye Qingling between her eyebrows and eyes, but compared to Ye Qingling's dignified and gentle, she is more green.
Ye Qingling walked out of the carriage and said with a smile, "I didn't expect to meet my cousin and sister Yao'er here, Brother Shilin, and Shizi are also here." ”
As soon as he heard the word Shizi, Ye Shilin's face changed, and he turned over and dismounted.
Ye Yao'er's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly dismounted.
"Shilin has seen Shizi." Ye Shilin walked to the carriage and said with his fists clenched.
The mermaids in the carriage rushed out.
First Mo Zixuan and An Shuhui, and then Song Yuanxi, who was dressed in red, glanced at Ye Shilin lightly, "General Ye doesn't have to be polite. ”
The tone is detached, but it is already very face-saving for the Ye family.
If it were someone else, they might not get out of the car and see each other.
Ye Shilin was about to say something to Song Yuanxi, when he saw Song Yuanxi turn around and stretch out his hand, it turned out that there were still people in the carriage who had not come down.
A jade carving-like hand fell on Song Yuanxi's palm, and in the raised curtain, a stunning face was revealed.
The facial features are delicate and can't pick out the slightest flaw, the eyes are bright and the teeth are bright, and the beauty is incomprehensible.
Ye Shilin has known Ye Qingling since he was a child, and he has long been accustomed to her beauty and dignity, and after reading all the flowers, he has never seen a woman who can compete with her in beauty.
But the moment she saw Jiang Wanxiu, she was amazed.
This woman has an unforgettable face that is easy to fall in love with at first sight.
"Who is this......?" Ye Shilin was surprised.
Ye Qingling smiled and introduced, "This is the princess of the world, the daughter of the servant of the ministry." ”
"It turned out to be the princess, Shilin was abrupt, and I had seen the princess." Ye Shilin said with a smile.
Jiang Wanxiu said coldly, "General Ye is polite. ”
This voice is the woman who spoke just now.
Ye Shilin immediately recognized it, and for some reason, when he learned that those words were said by such a beauty, he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
"The princess? What a princess! Ye Yao'er was originally smiling, but when she saw Song Yuanxi actually helping Jiang Wanxiu get out of the carriage, her face instantly became ugly, "My cousin doesn't have a princess, this woman, it doesn't count!" ”
Ye Shilin scolded unhappily, "Yao'er, what nonsense are you talking about, the princess is here, why don't you come and see your cousin and sister-in-law soon." ”
"Yao'er has seen the cousin of the prince, but I don't recognize this cousin!"
Ye Yao'er glared at Jiang Wanxiu with hostility, and said, "At the beginning, my cousin's life and death were unknown, so you were going to remarry the third prince and let my cousin lose face in front of the whole world, what kind of person is my cousin, how can I want a woman like you." ”
