Shangshu of the Criminal Department knelt on the ground, and said in a dumb throat: "The minister has read the booklet, and feels that the article above is very strange, and then look closely, the minister was shocked to sweat, Your Majesty, please see, after the old weapons of the Ministry of War are eliminated, all kinds of copper and iron can be recycled, but the account is only scrapped and disposed of, and the recovered copper and iron are not known, and there are also large expenditures for the resettlement of the household, but as far as Weichen knows, the cost of the year is far lower than the stop, and the personal placement alone is less than half of the ......"

With the detailed statement of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, the monarch of Xiqi recruited the officials of the four ministries to transfer out the files for careful auditing, and it turned out that he found out a large amount of money of embezzlement, which involved the root of the four ministries, and then transferred the resumes of the people who were found out, and there were more or less shadows of the Duan family behind them.

Xiqi Guojun is on the verge of anger at the moment, these years he deliberately indulged the prince and Ye Heng to fight, and actually inadvertently fattened the Duan family, now if you really want to investigate thoroughly, it will definitely hurt your muscles and arteries, because Ye Zhen is still on the front line, if you do it now, there will be turmoil in the four departments, once there is a problem with the grain, grass and weapons, it will inevitably affect the front line, and he can't take Ye Zhen to take this risk.

Xiqi Guojun made a decision immediately, and sent down the relevant officials heavily, but did not hurt the Duan family's muscles and bones, the assassin's matter was suspicious, and Ye Heng was still not allowed to leave the palace, but he handed over the investigation of the case to Ye Jinhua. He can't say that this son is close, but after all, he is bloodline, and he has a little more trust than others.

This is the end of the farce.

Ye Heng was still detained in Luoyan Courtyard, it was getting late, Su Qianqian was going back to the house after going down, Ye Heng sent her to the gate of the palace, and said lightly: "Tomorrow when you enter the palace, remember to dig a jar of rice wine under the old tree in my courtyard and bring it." ”

Although Su Qianqian felt different, she did not object.

He is imprisoned in the palace, and it is normal for him to want to eat something from home.

The next afternoon, she carried the wine dug out by Changyi into the palace.

The breath of autumn swept the entire courtyard, the cold wind struck, the yellow leaves were all over the ground, the withered remnants of the soldiers finished their last struggle, and fell silently, without the green leaves, the sky of the falling swallow courtyard was covered straight down, and when he stretched out his hand, it seemed to be able to touch the clouds that rolled up when he was comfortable.

Ye Heng baked the rice wine brought by Su Qianqian in a small charcoal stove, which was just the right temperature, several crabs were obediently placed in the tray, the red claws were tightly harvested, the crab-eating utensils were neatly placed on both sides, and the rest was the sauce saucer with small oil stars, exuding a vague aroma.

Su Qianqian said with a smile: "Your yard has to be suitable for raising for a long time, and when the days come here, it seems to have stopped, and even the crabs look more delicious than elsewhere." ”

Ye Heng raised his eyes to look at her, and his eyes were as far away as a deep pool: "The princess likes such days? ”

Su Qianqian stretched her waist, took a deep breath again, and said: "If this is not a palace, but a clean place with mountains and rivers, it will be impeccable." ”

As she spoke, her expression was yearning.

Ye Heng took in everything, but he didn't say anything, raised his hand to take a crab, didn't move the delicate utensils, and began to take the meat with his bare hands, while saying slowly: "The tribute below, Your Majesty will give it, and you are very blessed." ”

Su Qianqian held her little face, but she was not half happy: "Duan Shilang had a fuss that day, but he didn't have the slightest intention of pushing the boat back to you, he wanted to use this to gag you?" Or is it here to comfort you? ”

There were seven or eight points of resentment in his words, and Ye Heng was in a good mood when he heard it, and the movements in his hands were much neater: "He can't lock me up." ”

Su Qianqian naturally knew it, but she was a little at a loss about the unknown future in her heart, and she didn't know how to say it, so she set her eyes on Ye Heng's hand.

A fat crab was passed by his fingers, that is, the meat returned to the meat, the shell returned to the shell, and then looked at his hand, only the four fingertips were stained with oil stars, and other places, refreshing as ever, Su Qianqian's face was full of envy.

Ye Heng noticed her gaze, so he took the saucer: "Give." ”

She suddenly came back to her senses, and hurriedly shook her head and refused: "No, no, no, resolutely don't eat." ”

There is a price to pay for eating him.

When he was in a hurry, he saw the banter coming out of his eyes, and he knew that he was being teased. Su Qianqian was very dissatisfied: "You still have the heart to tease me." ”

"How's teasing?" Ye Heng put the plate in front of her, and his voice was gentle, "The crab is fat, let's talk about it after eating." ”

"If you know I'm full of questions, you should know that I'm impatient." Su Qianqian picked up the crab, but she had no appetite, turned her head and said angrily, she didn't want the words to fall, Ye Heng was already quick, and took the first step to send the crab meat into her mouth, for a while, her lips and teeth were fragrant, and the deliciousness of the crab was mixed with the salty fragrance of the sauce, and the tip of the tongue should be stuffed in an instant.

That anger also dissipated with it.

Ye Heng's dark eyes had a hint of a smile, and since he met her, his person seemed to have softened, but his voice was still unwavering: "What do you want to know?" ”

Su Qianqian swallowed the crab meat hard, and couldn't wait to say, "What's the matter with that witness, is the evidence related to you?" There is also the book of the Criminal Department, which must not be able to get out of it, otherwise how could it be so coincidental to know that even the file was found so quickly......"

Ye Heng squinted at her, and his narrow eyes flashed with a ray of appreciation: "Every question you asked was to the point." ”

Seeing that he was about to speak, Su Qianqian hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Wait, wait first, let me guess again." ”

After receiving Ye Heng's signal, Su Qianqian put down her chopsticks and snapped her fingers one by one: "After learning that His Majesty was assassinated, Duan Lang's original plan must not have been like this, but the crown princess came to tell the truth, so you figured out the key." So, you will plan and send the bait up, Duan Lang bit the hook, and got carried away, think about it, there can be a chance to put the opponent to death, who is not moved, especially this opponent is extremely difficult. ”

Ye Heng approvingly: "That assassin was placed by the prince's faction, they originally wanted to take the opportunity of the assassination of the saint to cut the stolen goods, betting on His Majesty's trust in me, but I didn't know that His Majesty had already suspected it. ”

"What about the witnesses, I originally thought it was arranged by Duan Lang in advance, but the booklet quickly dispelled my thoughts, but if it is your person, the time is wrong, because before that, they have already decided to marry you."

Seeing her confused, Ye Heng's long eyes condensed slightly, and he replied lightly: "That's the fine work they caught personally." ”

Hearing this, the chaos in Su Qianqian's mind was suddenly unraveled, revealing a look of sudden realization, and couldn't help but say: "I understand, you deliberately let the witness reveal his flaws, leading Duan Lang to arrest people, and then the witness pretended to be tortured and confessed the booklet." ”

Seeing Ye Heng nodding, Su Qianqian continued: "No matter how true their evidence is, they will still be weak in the end, worried about being exposed by you, but if it is real criminal evidence, there will be no such concerns." ”

After that, Su Qianqian couldn't help but exclaim: "You have pinched everyone's minds correctly." Even the Shangshu of the Criminal Department has been controlled by the Duan family for many years, and his eagerness to return to power is also pinched. ”

Ye Heng shook his head, took another crab, and then said lightly: "The Shangshu of the Criminal Department is cautious, and it took a lot of effort to persuade him. ”

Su Qianqian didn't say much, in her heart, the man in front of her was omnipotent.

She only clapped her hands and smiled: "I heard that the Duan family's training of men is like a camp of tigers and wolves, and Duan Lang's framing behavior is disgusted by His Majesty, and it will be difficult to do anything in the future." ”

Yeheng's heart may not be, but it does not appear on the face.

Su Qianqian didn't notice it, she only thought of the face of the Xiqi monarch in the palace yesterday, and couldn't help laughing, and said curiously: "Are there any of those officials who were dismissed or demoted by His Majesty yesterday?" ”

Ye Heng shook his head slowly, and said, "How many of his own people have pulled out?" ”

Su Qianqian was not surprised: "This matter is related to the four ministries, and it is widely implicated, even if Your Majesty wants to make a big move, it will not be at this time, because Prince Zhen is still in Xixi, and Your Majesty does not dare to take this risk." But if you don't move, I'm afraid that this will happen again. ”

Yeheng glanced at her approvingly and said, "What do you know?" ”

Su Qianqian put her finger to her lips and nodded, and said: "I made a bold guess, Your Majesty's original idea should be to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, so that you and the prince will lose both, weaken your power, and then close them one by one, yesterday's result, he was obviously not very satisfied." ”

"If you don't move, you have to pay the price." When he said this, Ye Heng's eyes sank, and there was a strong killing intent.

Su Qianqian remembered the promise that Ye Heng made to herself in the autumn hunting woods that day, and her heart couldn't help but soften, if there was a slight mistake today, she might also become the soul of others.

Duan Lang touched his rebellion, no wonder Ye Heng would use this method.

Su Qianqian looked at Ye Heng's condensed eyebrows, but her wavering heart was more stable.
