Recently, the three divisions, together with the remnants of the divine palace that they unraveled out along the way, have purged the Great Zhou court or the clan forces that may be related to it again.

He Xiangshan had already been ordered by the emperor to thoroughly investigate the case, and He Lingjiang, as a person who was not related to the division, also got Yuan Buxi's promise to follow up.

Therefore, during this period of time, both father and daughter were busy, and from time to time they had to run to Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, and it was rare to see the two of them at home.

The case of the illegal sale of iron in the north has been clarified, and the relevant culprits have also been arrested.

Except for one Lu Liulang who participated, everyone in the Lu clan did not know about it, and the people of the Lu clan in Fanyang had already been released from prison, and the Lu Shaofu eunuch and his family in Yingdu were naturally released.

As for the Yang family, they were also punished accordingly according to the law.

Shao Zhan, the Qing of Dali Temple, exhaled slowly, the case involving the Divine Palace at hand was complicated, and now it was finally a one.

"Shizi, He Qi Niangzi, this time the two of them went to the north to collect evidence and thoroughly investigated the case, which is really hard. Now that the case has been closed, I don't think it's too early, so why don't I be the host, how about inviting a few people to have dinner together? ”

"Shao Siqing is a treat to the east, how can it not be justified?" Zhou Yun, the secretary of the Criminal Department, said with a smile, and then looked at Pei Yu and He Xiangshan, "Shizi, He Zhongcheng, how is it?" ”

If they are a few old men, it will be forgotten, officialdom is a common thing. But Ling Jiang is a little lady after all, and she may not be willing to join them.

He Xiangshan looked at He Lingjiang, and saw that she nodded almost invisibly, and then responded: "Naturally, I will go with Lingjiang." ”

Pei You also followed with his head: "I'll join you." ”

So, after a few people dealt with the matter at hand, they went out of Dali Temple together and got into the carriage.

Although the Great Zhou Dynasty did not allow officials to set up brothels privately, it did not prohibit officials from prostituting.

If it is an ordinary entertainment, many officials of the DPRK and China go to the elegant brothel, even if they don't do side things, it is good to listen to small songs and watch the songs and dances of beauties.

Now He Qi Niangzi is not an ordinary little lady, but after all, she is a girl, and the grandfather of the family is still standing here, if they dare to go to the brothel, He Xiangshan is afraid that he will not pounce on them and tear them apart.

Shao Zhan consciously led a few people to a restaurant near Dali Temple.

"The food in this restaurant is good, a few people should try it." After that, he recommended a few special dishes for several people.

There is food, and naturally there is wine.

A few people talked and laughed, talking about interesting stories and anecdotes in the court, and it was already a few cups.

He Xiangshan saw that He Lingjiang had already taken a few drinks by himself, opened his mouth and swallowed back the words.

This kid is really free and generous, facing Shao Zhan and Zhou Yun, the two old foxes of officialdom, he speaks and laughs freely, and he has never had any sense of restraint, how can he look like a young lady?

Well, let her go, fortunately the drink is not too strong, and it doesn't hurt to have a few drinks.

Shao Zhan, who was on the side, saw Pei You just bowing his head and drinking tea, and personally poured a glass of wine for him: "Why don't you drink two cups of the prince?" The autumn dew of this house is a must, the taste is mellow and sweet, but it is not easy to be intoxicating......"

"Come on, come on, I'll give you a cup of toast." As he spoke, he raised his glass.

Pei You looked at the rippling wine glass, but he didn't refuse, picked up the wine glass and gestured slightly in the direction of Shao Zhan, and drank it all, Ruyu's cheeks flushed slightly red.

Seeing this, Zhou Yun also got up and said, "I also salute the prince." ”

This prince of Zhenbei is difficult to get from Yingdu, but his prestige in the north has spread throughout the Great Zhou, who doesn't know this son who has made military exploits at a young age and has excellent swordsmanship?

What's more, his father, King Zhenbei, is the only king with a different surname in the Great Zhou Dynasty now, and he has a heavy army.

Pei You didn't refuse, and also raised his glass and drank it all.

The first two colleagues did this, He Xiangshan was naturally not a special case, he was about to raise a glass, but saw that Pei You had already poured a cup for himself, stood up and saluted him: "Then I will toast He Zhongcheng with a glass." ”

"This ......," He Xiangshan was surprised.

Pei You rarely smiled: "This time I went to the Northland, He Qi Niangzi helped me a lot, He Zhongcheng is the father who raised her and taught her, so he naturally deserves Pei You's respect." With that, he had another glass of wine in his stomach.

He Xiangshan had no choice but to drink, he put down the wine glass, and turned his head sideways to see his daughter staring at Pei You with a calm face, not knowing what he was thinking.

His heart jumped suddenly, this kid from the Pei family was obviously a little different from Ling Jiang when he was in Linchuan before, especially when he turned back to Linchuan from Yingdu in a rage and came to question Ling Jiang's safety, he hadn't forgotten it.

Later, when he came to Yingdu, although Pei You often investigated cases with Ling Jiang, the relationship between the two seemed to be not far away, just like ordinary colleagues.

In front of everyone in Yingdu, there are even fewer of them, but they are only shallow and faint.

He only thought that he had misunderstood Pei You's mind at the beginning, but now that he looked, I'm afraid it wasn't that he misunderstood, but that Pei You, a kid, knew how to restrain his thoughts.

Otherwise, why don't you respect Shao Zhan and Zhou Yun, but respect him He Xiangshan and treat him very respectfully?

He didn't think that he, the head of the He family in the imperial history, would let the prince of Zhenbei, who had always been arrogant, lean over him.

He Xiangshan looked at it coldly, since he entered Yingdu, Jiang and Pei Yu rarely stood side by side in front of him, and now the two of them are sitting side by side around the table, and the two young people who are equally brilliant in terms of ability and appearance are really close to each other.

He couldn't help but feel that his eyes hurt a little, and he couldn't help but stroke his forehead.

In another place, Pei You had already poured wine, and he wanted to congratulate Ling Jiang again. After all, even the father of He Qi Niangzi, who helped him a lot, was respected, and it would be too strange for him to throw the person aside.

He was just about to raise his glass, when he saw He Lingjiang take a chopstick and press it on top of his wine cup: "Although the wine is good, it also has stamina." The prince's heart, He Qixin received it, it is better not to drink more. ”

Pei You suddenly had a smile in his eyes, like a gentle wind: "He Qi Niangzi is right, I almost forgot that I didn't drink well, so it's better to drink less." ”

After that, he had already put down the wine glass and took another teacup: "Then I will replace the wine with tea." ”

He Xiangshan on the side looked at the warm smile on his face, the corners of his forehead jumped, and he felt that his eyes hurt even more.

Pei You, this guy, is really uneasy and kind.

To tell the truth, just looking at the two young people in front of them, they are naturally a good match, but it is absolutely impossible for Jiang and this Zhenbei prince with heavy troops in his hands.

He was worried that Jiang would not have any intention of marrying a child, but if he compared it with Pei You, who she might look down on, he would rather this child be less merciless and cold in the affairs of men and women.

He Xiangshan's eyes narrowed slightly, he turned the wine glass in his hand, and then asked with a smile: "Now that the case of illegal sale of ironware is over, I don't know when the prince plans to return to the north?" ”
