Just when Yan Li and Qi Tanying met alone, there were still people talking about this case.

Xingqingfang, Suzaku Street

In an inconspicuous small house at the end of the street, in a dimly lit chamber, a middle-aged man of medium stature and a square face had a sad face, "Your Highness, the Holy Lord has ordered Wu Han, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, to secretly re-investigate the case of the collapse of Jiaozhi Palace. ”

The young man sitting opposite him had half of his face hidden in the darkness, "What is my father-in-law afraid of, he didn't find out about us back then, but now he can?" ”

"But..."

"Unless my father-in-law didn't wipe the traces clean back then."

Hearing this, a cold sweat broke out on the middle-aged man's forehead, "Your Highness, although all the people who participated in the exchange of wood back then are dead, Kechen always feels a little uneasy. ”

"Don't be suspicious, the collapse of the Jiaozhi Hall was caused by the purchasing official Liu Heng's greed for personal gain, and it has nothing to do with the main hall and his father-in-law." The young man warned him.

"What Your Highness said, what Your Highness said." The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly.

Although the mouth responds like this, the heart is still difficult to calm down.

His gaze fell on the young man's face, and he asked an unrelated question, "Will His Highness go to Tangshan Palace to escape the summer this year?" ”

The young man spat out two words: "Don't go." ”

Since the Tangshan Palace was built, he has rarely gone to the palace to escape the summer. Fortunately, he had a legitimate reason not to go, except for a few brothers who had complained about it for so many years, even his father didn't say anything.

In addition to not liking the humidity and rain of Tangshan, I am also afraid that the palace where I live will collapse like the Jiaozhi Hall one day, so if I can't go, I won't go, and even if I go, I will try my best to leave as soon as possible.

Who would have thought that the Tangshan Palace, built with that batch of problematic wood, would have lasted for ten years.

Since Dali Temple has begun to investigate the case of the year, according to his father's suspicious temperament, he should not go to Tangshan Palace this year to escape the summer.

Thinking of this, he glanced at the middle-aged man, "Keep an eye on Dali Temple, don't let them really find out something." ”

The middle-aged man responded, and the young man added, "If necessary, you can ask my imperial brother to help." ”

The middle-aged man understood his intentions after only a little thought. It's also a good idea to divert the troubles from the east.

"Your Highness is wise!"

All he answered was the laughter of a young man.

------------------------

After Yan Li came out of Jiang's house, he returned to Dali Temple with a bruise, red and swollen face. As soon as he appeared, he instantly attracted the onlookers of his colleagues.

Seeing him like this, Wu Han frowned and asked, "How did you get it?" ”

Yan Li smiled slightly embarrassedly, "Xia Guan took the matchmaker to Jiang's house to propose marriage, and there was a collision with Jiang Sangongzi. ”

"Go to Jiang's house to propose?"

"To be precise, it is to propose to the girl Qi who lives in the Jiang family."

Wu Han glanced at him coldly after hearing this, "Let you find a reason to get close to the Qi family, you actually came up with such a method." ”

After speaking, he put the case file in his hand on the table, and made a soft sound, "The girl's family has a noble reputation, don't act like this in the future." ”

Yan Li said, "Thank you Shizi for reminding me." However, the lower official did not pretend to marry for the purpose of investigating the case, but sincerely wanted to marry Miss Qi as his wife. ”

Wu Han's eyes darkened, and the words of reprimand came to his mouth and swallowed again, and asked, "Can you go to Jiang's house today to get useful clues?" ”

"Not yet."

Wu Han's brows furrowed, the Holy Authority ordered him to find the timber ledger within half a month and find out the real culprit behind the scenes, but now four days have passed without the slightest progress, but the subordinate officials have no enterprising spirit, and they still have the heart to propose marriage.

Yan Li knew that he was not doing his job well, and he didn't dare to delay any longer, so he led people to continue to track down the whereabouts of the wood ledger.

They checked the places that Qi Heming frequented most before his death, the residences of his good colleagues and friends, and also searched Qi's house back and forth several times, but still nothing was gained.

In desperation, Yan Li invited Qi Tanying to the Juxian Teahouse where they had seen each other before.

Qi Tanying didn't want to go to the appointment, since Yan Li was beaten by Jiang Zhenyu last time, everyone in the Jiang Mansion knew about his door-to-door marriage, and Jiang Zhenyu's astonishing remarks made her talk about it.

Especially Mrs. Jiang, as soon as Yan Li left, she called Mrs. Jiang over and reprimanded her.

The meaning in and out of the words is that Qi Tanying is unruly, so that she will have less contact with the Jiang family girl in the future, so as not to bring her granddaughter badly.

Mrs. Jiang was naturally angry again, and even blamed Qi Tanying for having too close a relationship with Jiang Zhenyu.

Qi Tanying was also speechless, she had never been alone with Jiang Zhenyu, on weekdays, Jiang Zhenyu came to the long room to tease Ah Yan, and her two cousins were also present.

Is this also called over-intimacy?

What made her even more angry was that Yan Li came to the door to ask for marriage and everyone knew, and Second Mrs. Jiang even congratulated her in front of Mrs. Qi on finding a good son-in-law.

So when she saw Yan Li again, Qi Tanying didn't have a smile on her face.

Yan Li saw that she was unhappy, poured a cup of tea and gently pushed it in front of her, "This is the new summer tea from Juxian Teahouse, it tastes good, Miss Qi try it." ”

Qi Tanying glanced at him and urged: "Tea is free, if Lord Yan has any questions, just ask." ”

"Recently, the heat is unbearable, and drinking this summer tea can make people calm down." Yan Li got up and walked to Qi Tanying with tea, and bowed down with a smile, "A few days ago, I rashly came to the door to ask for marriage, which was a lot of offense, and this cup of tea should be regarded as Yan's reparation for Miss Qi." ”

Stretching out her hand not to hit the smiling person, Qi Tanying took the tea and took a small sip, and then put the teacup on the table.

"I've drunk the tea, now Lord Yan can get to the point, right?"

Yan Li smiled and bowed his head.

When he asked, "Did Ling Zun really leave no clues about the account book back then?" When this question was asked, Qi Tanying didn't want to answer it anymore.

He had asked similar questions countless times, and each time she answered no. The father went suddenly, and even if he had the intention to leave something, he would not leave it to a six-year-old child.

"You have carefully searched the things left by my father back then, and if you are afraid that something will be missed, I am willing to let you verify it again."

Dali Temple investigated the case, Qi Tanying was very cooperative, and hoped that this matter would pass quickly and not affect their lives again.

Yan Li changed a question, "Are the only things you brought out from the Qi Mansion those boxes, and are there any other things?" ”

"Of course it's only that..." Qi Tanying was about to answer without thinking about it, and was suddenly stunned after just saying a few words.

On that day, they took away more than a few boxes of calligraphy, paintings, and articles from Qi's house, as well as her sandalwood box containing gadgets.

Yan Li kept holding on to the relics left by her father, and the sandalwood box was hers, so she didn't mention it.

Qi Tanying told Yan Li about this, Yan Li's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he grabbed Qi Tanying's wrist, "Follow me." ”

Qi Tanying didn't expect him to have such a move, and immediately shook off his hand after reacting, glaring at him angrily.

Yan Li chuckled in his heart, he seemed to have offended her again.
