Chapter 57 Dali Temple, Qiao Xiya
"Long live the guilty minister Qiao Qinglin, long live my lord, long live, long live, long live!" Qiao Qinglin's beard was unshaven, and his face was haggard and he knelt down and kowtowed at the door of the hall.
"Qiao Qing replied before approaching," Mo Junchen's voice softened.
"Yes." Qiao Qinglin got up, walked forward with a slightly staggering step, and knelt beside Qiao Xiya, "Long live!" ”。
"You have a good daughter." Mo Junchen raised his hand to block what Qiao Qinglin wanted to say, "She has clarified the case and cleared your grievances." I intend to title you as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and Miss Qiao as the Cheng of Dali Temple, are you willing to accept it? ”
"Minister......" Qiao Qinglin looked at Qiao Xiya beside him, then looked up at Mo Junchen, and gritted his teeth, "Thank you, Lord Longen!" ”
~~
"Sir! You're back! Qiao Qinglin returned to the house, and Qiao San was the first to greet him.
"It's back, it's back." Qiao Qinglin patted Qiao San's hand, "Are you okay at home?" ”
"Okay, good, it's just bitter girl." Qiao San's eyes were slightly red.
"Everything?" Qiao Xiya looked at Qiao San.
"Don't worry, girl, you're all in the dark." Qiao San nodded.
"Xia He, go get some water, let the master wash well." Qiao Xiya helped Qiao Qinglin to sit down in the main hall.
"There's no hurry. You go out first, I have something to ask the girl. Qiao Qinglin sat down in his robe, his face sinking like water.
Seeing that Qiao Qinglin's face was not good, Chunling glanced at Qiao Xiya with some concern: "Girl......"
"Go buy some jujube flower cake and come back, let the master taste it." Qiao Xiya shook her head slightly, sent Chunling away with a smile, and then turned her head to Qiao Qinglin and said, "Father wants to ask, you might as well go and ask secretly." ”
Qiao Qinglin didn't know what kind of medicine Qiao Xiya was selling in the gourd, but it looked like Qiao Xiya was going to say something terrible to herself, so Qiao Qinglin had to nod and agree, and followed Qiao Xiya into the secret passage.
At the door of the secret passage, Qiao Xiya turned her head to Qiao San who followed and said, "Trouble Qiao Sanye to guard the door, but if you trespass, you will tie it up first."
"Rest assured, girl." Qiao San nodded in response, and casually closed the door of the secret passage.
Seeing that only her father was in front of her, Qiao Xiya couldn't hold back any longer, knelt at Qiao Qinglin's feet, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes: "My daughter is incompetent, she can't keep the house, please atone for her father!"
"Get up, get up and speak." Seeing Qiao Xiya's pear blossoms bringing rain, Qiao Qinglin felt pity, he pulled Qiao Xiya up, stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on her face, "It's Daddy who has affected you." ”
"Father come with me." Qiao Xiya helped Qiao Qinglin and walked in along the dark passage. Through the second secret door, Qiao Xiya pushed open the secret room hidden directly below the garden of Qiao's mansion.
Closing the door of the secret room, Qiao Xiya put the pearls and scales brought back from Huizhou and the portraits found in Wu Minchu's house, including the jade lion that was found from the peach baggage, in front of Qiao Qinglin.
"You met them?" Qiao Qinglin looked at the two pearls the size of the bowl and exuded a soft shimmer, and grabbed Qiao Xiya's hands with a nervous expression.
Qiao Xiya nodded, and clearly told Qiao Qinglin about everything that happened in Huizhou and Huimeng County.
"Daddy, my daughter knows that Lord Wu is forced to be helpless, not the real murderer, but the real murderer ......"
"The real murderer is in Jin'an City, above the court." Qiao Qinglin coldly interrupted Qiao Xiya's words.
"Daddy knows who it is?" Qiao Xiya's eyes widened.
"There is no evidence." These four words seemed to absorb Qiao Qinglin's strength, and Qiao Qinglin's eyes suddenly lost all their brilliance.
"Don't worry, Daddy, he can't hide it." Qiao Xiya wiped a handful of tears, and in her eyes was a perseverance that Qiao Qinglin had never seen.
"The emperor really didn't misunderstand you." Qiao Qinglin smiled with tears in his eyes.
"What?" Qiao Xiya didn't understand Qiao Qinglin's words.
"Before you came back, the emperor went to Dongyun Pavilion." Qiao Qinglin looked at Qiao Xiya, his eyes were full of pity, "He said that the encounters between you and Prince Hao in Huimeng County and Huizhou confirmed my previous secret letter, and he said that you will definitely find out the real culprit behind the scenes and return my innocence." But he also made a deal with me. ”
"Deal?" The dignified son of heaven made a deal with a subordinate prisoner, and Qiao Xiya felt a little incredible.
"He said he would do his best to save our family's lives, but you have to go to Dali Temple to serve until you find evidence to prove the real culprit."
Qiao Qinglin's words made Qiao Xiya fall into deep thought. Although she didn't know who the real culprit was, her intuition told her that this was a very difficult person to deal with, not only in a high position, but also ruthless.
"Where did this jade lion come from?" Qiao Qinglin's eyes fell on the jade lion that almost sent Qiao Xiya's mother and daughter to prison.
Qiao Xiya took the jade lion in her hand and told him what happened at home after Qiao Qinglin was taken away by Yu Xialiang.
"Zhao Mingchen, I know, others are not bad, but they are cowardly and afraid of things, and they married a mother-in-law who sees money, you say he is dead?"
"Yes." Qiao Xiya nodded, "The prince said that Zhao Mingchen's family was all killed by gangsters in one night, and all the belongings in the house were looted. ”
"That means that the other jade lion is now missing."
"Yes." Qiao Xiya nodded gloomily.
"Alas......" Qiao Qinglin sighed, "It's also his own fault." It's just a pity that he broke this clue. What about your mother? ”
"Mother took Wanzhu and Mu Liu back to Xianyang's hometown." When Qiao Xiya mentioned her mother, she felt a warmth in her heart.
"Let's go get her back in two days." Qiao Qinglin stroked Qiao Xiya's hair, "It's time for our family to reunite." ”
"Yes." Qiao Xiya smiled and nodded, and helped Qiao Qinglin to walk out, "Father has been resting for the past few days, and in the afternoon, I asked Xia He and Qiao San to go to the market to buy a few rough girls and mothers-in-law." ”
"Okay, okay." Qiao Qinglin looked at Qiao Xiya with relief, "My daughter is becoming more and more like a housewife." ”
Pushing open the secret door, Qiao San took a step forward and arched his hand: "Master, girl, Lord Hao is here."
Qiao Xiya and Qiao Qinglin glanced at each other, and Qiao Qinglin groaned slightly: "You go to greet the prince on behalf of your father, and you will come to change your clothes for your father."
"Yes." Qiao Xiya answered, walked to the courtyard, and walked towards the main hall of the front hall with Xia He, who was guarding the courtyard.
Before arriving at the front hall, Qiao Xiya saw more than a dozen family members standing in the courtyard of the front hall, and Mo Haoning was looking at the few bamboo clumps by the wall that had withered and yellowed due to no one taking care of them with interest behind his back.
Qiao Xiya walked a few steps quickly to the front, and was deeply blessed: "The little girl has seen Prince Hao, and the prince is safe."
"Mistress Joe excuses me." Mo Haoning smiled and helped, "What? The newly appointed Dali Temple? Miss Qiao doesn't seem to be able to adapt to her new identity. Looking at Qiao Xiya's stunned expression, Mo Haoning couldn't help but quip.
