The case of Qingxu Hall is not difficult to investigate, the case is now clear, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the case can be closed, but the difficulty is how to write the confession in the dossier and how to prepare the folds, so as not to provoke Emperor Yong'an to be angry, and then implicate the innocent.

Han Changdui held the jade tube Zihao, and after thinking about it, he still couldn't drop a word for a long time, but the ink dripped onto the paper, spreading a dark and shallow ink spot.

It's a good book, but it's useless.

There was a heavy sound of footsteps outside, Han Changdui condensed, unhurriedly put away the defaced fold, cleaned the jade tube Zishabu, hung it on the wenge wood pen holder, took a book on the desk, and opened it casually.

The door creaked open, and the sun's shadow was bright and dim, the color was faint, and the thin wind was mixed with the smell of dust.

Han Changwan looked up at the person who came, and said with a light expression: "The time for the palace test is on the list, just three days later." ”

Zhang Yan suddenly felt like being struck by lightning, his whole body stiffened, and his face was like a withered cry: "Below, below is wronged!" ”

Han Changdui said expressionlessly, "You can leave today." ”

As if he didn't understand, Zhang Yan repeated: "You can go," his face changed in shock, and his voice suddenly sharpened: "Yes, what kind of go!" ”

Han Changdui tapped his fingers and tapped the book case twice: "If you don't have the courage to participate in the palace exam in three days, you can go to the dungeon of the Internal Guard Division to live for a few days." ”

Zhang Yan finally came back to his senses, and under the great sorrow and joy, his face showed a look like a smile and crying, the corners of his lips twitched, he hugged his head for a long time, squatted on the ground all of a sudden, and cried: "Adi, Adi!" Brother I'm sorry for you, Adi! ”

Han Changwan rubbed his eyebrows, and yelled impatiently: "He Zhenfu! ”

He Zhenfu pushed the door in response.

Han Changdui said: "Drag it out and throw it outside, it's too noisy!" ”

"Ahh Zhang Yan's crying stopped abruptly.

He Zhenfu stiffened his face, held back a smile, and dragged Zhang Yan out.

The remnants of the dusk sun were like melting gold, and they splashed the entire sky in small pieces but magnificently.

The sky was full of glow, and the golden light of the afterglow flowed lonely from the streets to the alleys, the light gradually dimmed, the clouds were blown away by the wind, and the blue sky was empty.

After Zhang Yan came out of the Internal Security Division, he didn't have time to freshen up and change his clothes, so he went straight to the Han Palace, which was located in the Sixteen Princes' Mansion.

It is said that the seven-rank officials in front of the prime minister's door, the eyes of the concierge of the prince's mansion are all on the top of his head, and he can't even look down on the five or six-grade officials who are waiting for leisure, let alone Zhang Yan's white body.

Yes, it's still a very down-and-out white body.

The porter looked out from the crack in the door, and swept Zhang Yan up and down with contempt, and saw that he was full of messy hair, his beard was unkempt, his eye sockets were blue and a little sunken, and there were no patches on his clothes, but the color was washed and white, and they were all messy folds, and he looked poor.

The porter said disdainfully: "Get out, get out of here!" Where did the flower come from, don't look at the place if you want to eat, this is the Han Wangfu, is it the place where you want to eat? So saying, he was about to close the door.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Zhang Yan hurriedly pressed against the door with his hand, his face pressed against the crack of the door, and his face was full of sweat in a hurry: "Little brother, little brother, I, I'm here to find my sister, my sister's name is Zhang Di." ”

The porter was obviously stunned for a moment, and frowned: "Zhang Di, I haven't heard of it!" ”

As he spoke, with a "bang", the door closed heavily, almost hitting the tip of Zhang Yan's nose.

Zhang Yan knew that the door of the Han Wang's Mansion was difficult to enter, even if he was already a tribute, it was not that a person like him could enter and exit at will, but Zhang Di was still in the Han Wang's Mansion, and he had to see her no matter what, and ask her what she thought.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Open the door, open the door quickly, below is the current Kegongshi, ask to see His Royal Highness the King of Han!"

"Open the door, the king of Han forcibly robbed the people's daughter, and the sister under was robbed into the house by the king of Han!"

The huge slamming of the door and the hoarse shouting immediately attracted many people who were hurrying over, and they all came over and pointed at Zhang Yan, who was flushed.

Originally, he dared to smash the door of the Han Wang's mansion was already a good man, and now he dares to shake out the matter of the Han King robbing the people's daughters, which is to knock on the door to find death.

Although the King of Han is lustful, it is common to rob people's daughters, he even dares to rob the female prisoners who are pushed to the execution ground, and who else he does not dare to do, but he does what he does, but he will never allow others to say.

Once, when someone passed by the door of the Han Wang's Mansion, he said "bah" to the closed gate, and the Han King listened to it, and he actually went down in person, and slapped the person with a crooked eye.

Everyone looked at Zhang Yan who was slamming the door, and couldn't help sighing, a good and dignified Lang Jun, who looks quite thoughtful, why is his brain not very good, doesn't he know the truth that the people don't fight with the officials, and he doesn't know how this tribute was admitted!

Zhang Yan ignored the discussions of the people around him, and only slammed the door frantically, slapping his palms red and swollen, from numbness to pain.

He shouted with a dry mouth, a hoarse voice, and no strength to slam the door again, so he simply sat down against the door of the Han Wang's Mansion and wailed.

"Where is the reason of heaven, the king of Han robbed the people's daughter!"

"Adi, brother is sorry for you!"

He thought that after the death of his parents, only he and Zhang Di depended on each other, and lived a difficult life, thinking that he had entered Beijing, obtained the Gongshi, and ordered the Jinshi on the palace test, and since then he has cleared the clouds and fog to see the day, but the day has not been seen, but Zhang Di is gone.

He couldn't help but feel sad from his heart, crying with true affection and tears.

Everyone in the audience was sad when they heard it, and the listeners wept, feeling that King Han was really not a thing, but no one dared to say it.

Someone couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward, stood at the bottom of the steps, lowered his voice and pointed at Zhang Yan: "Xiao Langjun, it's useless for you to cry here, it's better to go to Jingzhao Mansion." ”

Zhang Yan looked up blankly: "Jingzhao Mansion? Go and shout injustice, how dare the governor of Jingzhao Mansion manage His Royal Highness the King of Han! ”

The man shook his head: "Xiao Langjun, you don't know this, Lord Shaoyin of Jingzhao Mansion is the cousin of His Royal Highness the King of Han, he has always been soft-skinned and easy to speak, you go and beg him, maybe there is a chance to turn around, and you can get your sister out." ”

Zhang Yan wiped a handful of tears: "Really? ”

The man nodded: "What a lie to you!" ”

Zhang Yan stood up, sat cross-legged on the ground for a long time, his legs were numb, he knocked on his legs, and was about to go down the steps, when he heard someone in the crowd suddenly mutter: "It's useless to ask for it, King Han robbed the girl, never overnight, and took it when he grabbed it." ”

As soon as Zhang Yan heard this, his face suddenly turned dry, and his face was even more ugly than when he was caught in the internal security department, and he didn't care about looking for Shaoyin from Jingzhao Mansion, so he turned his head and threw himself on the door, crying almost out of breath.

"You compensate my sister, compensate my sister, I, I killed you, kill you, Adi, Adi!"

Someone stabbed the man and muttered to the man, complaining: "What are you talking about this, look at the little Langjun crying." ”

The man said disapprovingly: "I'm telling the truth, it's not cost-effective to offend the King of Han and get a broken flower and a willow." It's better to think about it, how to earn a name for my sister, and become a relative of King Han in the future, where can I not go sideways. ”

"You?" The man's eyes widened, and he shook his head in disagreement for a while.

Behind the closed door of the mansion, Xie Mengxia crossed his waist, frowned, and listened to the endless sound of banging on the door and crying, he pursed his lips: "After patting for so long, doesn't his hand hurt?" ”

Zhiyun grinned: "Your Highness, the little one blew him away?" ”

"Boom away? Let him ruin the reputation of this king everywhere? Xie Mengxia's voice suddenly sharpened, and he said with a glare.

Zhiyun lowered his head and muttered disapprerovingly: "Anyway, I don't have a good reputation." ”

"What do you say? Say it again! Xie Mengxia laughed angrily, and waved his hand with disgust: "Take Adi to the corner gate to see him." ”

Zheyun opened his mouth, didn't say anything, and sighed in his heart, His Royal Highness was really moved, he had never been like this before, he could open up the net and let a girl with no name and no point come out to meet someone.

Zhang Yan got the words of the Han Palace, and went around the back alley nervously, and waited for half an hour, and the short and narrow corner door "creaked" and opened a crack.

Two old and cloudy eyes were revealed at the crack in the door, and Zhang Yan was looked up and down, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Is it Zhang Yan?" ”

Zhang Yan hurriedly walked over and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, it's down." ”

The man said impatiently, "Wait! After saying that, the door closed with a "bang".

Zhang Yan touched the tip of his nose, waited for a moment of effort, the door opened half a door, and a mother-in-law with a cold face came out, Zhang Di followed behind her with her head down, and Zhang Di was followed by two mothers-in-law, with a bad complexion, with big shoulders and a round waist.

"Adi!" When Zhang Yan saw Zhang Di, he was overjoyed and rushed over at once.

Zhang Di paused, stopped on the inside of the threshold, raised her head and looked at Zhang Yan, her face was full of panic, and her voice was thin: "Brother." ”

The mother-in-law who was walking at the forefront stopped Zhang Yan, pointed to the threshold under her feet, and said expressionlessly: "Zhang Langjun is a foreign man, just stand here and talk." ”

Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment, looking at Zhang Di who was separated by a door, although she was still combing the girl's bun, she was no longer dressed like when she was at home.

Zhang Di would not have worn this kind of silver-red shirt skirt before, the material was too light, it would be torn if she did a little rough work, the color was too bright, her skin was slightly dark, she couldn't hold it down, and the sleeves were too big, and it was too much of a hindrance when she was working.

Zhang Yan's gaze moved up and landed on Zhang Di's face, her skin was still slightly dark, but in just a few days, it was not so rough, thinking that it was good to raise it in the Han Wang's Mansion, with a golden hairpin in her bun, he could only see the golden light eyes, what was the red and white next to her, he couldn't recognize it.

He opened his mouth, his face full of bitterness, such a rich person, is it still that auntie?

Zhang Di was also full of bitterness, and cried out again sadly: "Brother." ”

Zhang Yan sighed, moved half a step forward, stood close to the threshold, pulled the corners of his mouth, and showed a smile that was more ugly than crying: "Adi, you, are you okay?" ”

Zhang Di hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Brother, are you okay?" ”

"Brother is fine, it was the envoy of the Internal Security Division who personally released my brother," Zhang Yan nodded heavily, too late to gossip, and asked: "Adi, three days later, the temple test, my brother will definitely be able to order a jinshi, and when the time comes, I will be released as an official, Adi, let's leave the Han Palace, my brother wants to show you a good Langjun, is it okay to be a good lady." ”

Zhang Di pursed her lips, subconsciously turned her head to look at the two mothers-in-law who were attached to her, her face flashed with fleeting horror, and she shook her head as if crying and laughing: "Brother, you, don't say it, I, I'm already a person from the King of Han, I don't, I can't go, no, no, I don't want to go, I don't want to go." ”

Zhang Yan's eyes darkened suddenly, and he felt remorseful: "Yes, it's my brother who is useless, it's my brother who mistook you, and my brother is sorry for you!" ”

Zhang Di's tears fell one by one, she bit her lower lip and didn't dare to cry, she held back her tears for a long time, and shook her head: "Brother, no, I was willing, you, don't blame yourself, you have a good future, I, I'm happy for you." ”

Seeing Zhang Di crying, the mother-in-law guarding the door suddenly sank, and said coldly: "What are you crying for, bad luck, is Your Highness not good to you?" ”

Zhang Di was frightened, quickly wiped away her tears, and replied in a thin voice: "Yes, the slave is wrong." ”

Zhang Yan's breathing stagnated, looking at Zhang Di's cautious appearance, his heart was full of cold pain, although their brothers and sisters had a hard time in the past, but Zhang Di had a good time, when did he do this!

He couldn't help but pull Zhang Di's hand: "Adi, let's go, let's not be wronged!" ”

Zhang Di withdrew her hand as if she was hot, and shook her head again and again in horror: "No, no, brother, Adi is not bitter, Your Highness, Your Highness is good to Adi, Adi will not leave!" ”

When the mother-in-law standing at the door heard Zhang Di's words, her face finally improved, and she said in a stiff tone: "Zhang Langjun, Adi's lady is a serious concubine on the royal spectrum, whether to leave or stay, His Royal Highness the King of Han has the final say!" Alright, that's all for today! She took a deep breath, and without waiting for Zhang Yan to speak, she turned around and walked into the door, covering the door, and snorted coldly through the crack in the door: "The Han Wangfu is extremely rich, His Royal Highness the King of Han is the most noble person in the world, your sister is a broken household, and she is still wronged!" ”

After speaking, with a "bang", the door closed tightly again, and Zhang Di's low sobbing sound came from behind the door, but no matter how vigorously Zhang Yan slammed the door and shouted, no one came to open the door for him.

Zhang Yan walked back in despair.

In the early summer, it gets darker and later, and the colors in the sky dissipate very slowly, and the shadow of the sun only leaves a faint trace, but there is still a gold-melting light in the distant sky, inlaid the clouds with a dazzling gold edge.

Zhang Yan walked aimlessly, and unconsciously, he walked through the winding alley where Zhang Di once set up a food stall, and someone familiar greeted him.

"Zhang Langjun, how is it, have you passed the exam?" Zhang Yan's soul wandered out of the world, but he subconsciously let out a "hmm" and continued to walk forward.

He thought that he was in front of the Han Wang's Mansion just now, and the man pointed out his words, his heart was shocked, and he suddenly came back to his senses.

That's right, go to Jingzhao Mansion and find Lord Shaoyin, he has to save Zhang Di from this fire pit cage no matter what.

After the dusk drums had completely fallen, it was also dark, and the dim moonlight shone in the courtyard, and the shadows of the mottled and messy trees were horizontal on the blue brick floor.

Han Changdui finished taking care of the official affairs of the Internal Health Department that had been backlogged for several days, returned to the mansion and used the evening food, and instructed Jin Yu to bring Qi Minghui and a few people who lived in the inner house.

Now that he already knew that Yao Qi's identity was suspicious, and that there were shocking secrets hidden in the witch Gu case back then, it was impossible to allow these people to stay in the capital.

Although killing them was the best thing to do, Han Changdui was not a murderer, and when there were other ways available, he would not choose to let his hands be stained with the blood of innocent people.

Qi Minghui and the four of them walked into the front hall nervously, and after living in the Han Mansion for a few days, the more they lived, the more bottomless they became, and they all understood that Han Changwan would not raise them for nothing.

Han Changdui sat expressionlessly, slowly looking at the four people with his eyes, especially a few deep glances.

Qi Minghui's heart chuckled, even if the Han Mansion was so good, they would not agree to be a concubine again!

She took a step forward and made a preemptive strike: "The people's daughters and others thank Lord Han for saving their lives, the people's daughters have been bothering in the house for many days, and they really don't want to go, tomorrow, the people's daughters plan to leave." ”

Han Changwan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Leave, where are you in my Han Mansion?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Chen Ayuan jumped up, his apricot eyes widened: "You are unreasonable, and it is not us who are willing to come, it is clear that you caught us!" Now we're leaving, you still don't let you, what do you want? ”

"Ah Yuan, don't talk nonsense!" Qi Minghui couldn't say it well, so he hurriedly stopped Chen Ayuan, and Han Changdui made a smile: "My lord, Ah Yuan is young, and he offended the adult without holding back his mouth, and I ask the adult to forgive me." ”

Han Changwan smiled and said: "Twenty-seven or eight is still young, do you think this official is stupid!" ”

Qi Minghui simply stopped talking, and said dryly: "How can Lord Han let the people leave, to put it bluntly, the women and others will do it." ”

"Finally someone who understands." Han Changwan nodded slightly, and said lightly: "The last time you left the capital, where did you want to go in the end?" ”

Qi Minghui thought about it for a while, and said bluntly: "The people are going to Fengshan County, Longsu County, which is under the jurisdiction of Lianzhou, the hometown of the people's daughter. ”

Han Changdu's expression remained unchanged, he pondered in his heart for a moment, and thought: "Okay, this official will open and close the road guide for you, and arrange someone to escort you all the way to Fengshan County, settle the household registration, and buy a farm house for you." ”

As soon as they heard this, Qi Minghui's faces suddenly changed.

Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief.

Qi Minghui was so anxious that even his voice was a little louder: "Lord Han, the people are going to take Ah Qi, oh, Qingqian together, and they will never leave her as a concubine!" ”

Han Changdui glanced at Qing Qian faintly, his eyes were as cold as ice, as if he had hidden a knife, and there was no warmth at all.

Qing Qian's face turned pale suddenly, and her body shook slightly, how much Han Changdui hated her, she knew it, he would never treat her as a concubine in this situation, even if he wanted to keep her, it was just to torture her.

Qi Minghui was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, the corners of his lips twitched, and he didn't dare to speak casually anymore.

Han Changdui retracted his gaze and sneered: "A femme fatale, what is the official doing here, is it too long?" ”

Qingqian's body shook even more, and he only felt ashamed and annoyed, gritting his teeth so that he didn't cry.

Han Changwan didn't even look at it clearly, and continued to say expressionlessly: "This official has arranged all the back roads for you, there is only one request, the four of you, you must not leave Fengshan County for half a step from now on!" He paused slightly, and then said fiercely to Qingqian: "You, never call the name Chen Aqi!" ”

Qi Minghui's faces changed, and they looked at each other for a long time.

One didn't expect Han Changwan to put them under house arrest in one place, and the other didn't expect him to be so taboo about this name.

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

But I didn't think of it, I still had to come up with an idea.

Qi Minghui was obviously the backbone of the four people, and she said calmly: "The stakes are very high, and the people and women will discuss one or two." ”

Han Changwan nodded.

Qi Minghui and the four of them stood together, lowering their voices and whispering.

Han Changdui had no intention of eavesdropping, no matter how they discussed, there was only one choice, if he didn't agree, he would only have blood on his hands.

The four of them quickly made a decision, Qi Minghui's expression was obviously relaxed, and he smiled slightly: "Thank you for your success, the people are willing to obey the orders of the adults." ”

Han Changwei also breathed a sigh of relief, and threatened again: "This official will order the local governor to watch you." ”

Qi Minghui smiled disappreliantly: "If you can have a peaceful birthday, the people and girls will not break their promises." ”

After deciding the matter, Han Changdui called Meng Suijiao in, wrote down the names and origins of Qi Minghui and the four of them on a piece of paper, and instructed him to go to Leng Linjiang overnight, handle the road guide and household registration of these four people, and personally ordered a team of guards, with his handwritten letter, to escort these four people south.

After taking care of the affairs of Qi Minghui and the four people, he completely cleared up the potential crisis around Yao Qi.

Han Changdu's whole body relaxed, his head rested on his arms, and he leaned lazily on the Hu bed, his eyes slightly closed, and his face looked tired.

Jin Yu brought a bowl of bird's nest into the door, and when he saw Han Changdu's appearance, he felt a little distressed, gently put the bowl on the bookcase, and said in a low voice: "Shizi, there is no business tonight, use bird's nest, just rest early." ”

Han Changdui still closed his eyes: "Did you send it to the guest room?" ”

Jin Yuhan said with a smile: "I sent it, rest assured, the Liu family watched Miss Ah Ji use the bird's nest and turned off the lights before leaving." ”

Han Changdui heard that Jin Yu's voice was wrong, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that he was excited, and he was still implicitly cunning, frowning slightly: "What kind of expression do you have?" ”

Jin Yu hurriedly restrained his smile and said seriously: "It's nothing, it's nothing, the villain just thinks that Miss Ah Qi is good, it would be better if she could live in the mansion for a long time." ”

Han Changdui did not doubt that he was there, and said lightly: "She is from Jingzhao Mansion, sooner or later she will have to return to Jingzhao Mansion, what is the matter if she always lives in our mansion?" If the name is not right, Yungui will not agree. ”
