The small Qinxiang building with green tiles and wooden walls was overcrowded, but there were only two people sitting on the main couch in the living room, one was Cao Lao Taijun wearing a Xuanhuang robe, and the other was Tang Mei, the sixth lady who was enshrined today.

Tang Mei has already put on the Zhengerpin County officiating robe made by the Imperial City Garment Bureau overnight, the purple satin embroidered golden phoenix robe is dignified and beautiful, with Tang Mei's high-nosed and deep-eyed face, and plump and round figure, making her exude nobility.

There is also a phoenix crown with trembling flowers and trembling jewels on her head, which is even more expensive.

However, the phoenix crown is temporary, and the eunuch will take it back after the ceremony. It is said that this was the emperor's idea to lend the queen's phoenix crown to Tang Mei to wear once.

The women were gathered together, and the old ladies and aunts were kind and kind; The ladies and aunts are dignified and magnificent; Only the ladies are colorful, like a group of light pink butterflies, suddenly laughing in the house, and suddenly chasing in the yard, so lively. Tang Yan also followed the girls around, playing and playing, and was as happy as Jia Baoyu. And Tang Yuan couldn't keep up with the footsteps of the big children, and followed behind anxiously.

Since the founding of the dynasty, only Tang Mei has been the only one who has directly sealed the second grade of the three gate valve county lords. In the face of such an honor, Tang Mei couldn't hide a trace of pride on her face. But the women were chattering, and some discordant voices actually got into Su Bei's ears, for example, Tang Qiu said: Why does the emperor take care of her so much? If you want me to say, she must have been taken in by the emperor.

In the face of such gossip, Su Bottle didn't take it to heart. In the final analysis, the fault is not Tang Mei, but the jealousy of those women.

Listening to the eunuch that the situation of Su Bottle did not meet the regulations, Tang Kuan stuffed silver into the eunuch's hand. Zhang Dali, the eunuch of the Inner Chamberlain Province, said, it is better to stay like this for the time being, and let the celebrant Li Quanfu return to the palace quickly and ask for the holy will.

Li Quanfu accepted the silver and quickly returned to the palace to ask for the emperor's opinion. Emperor Zhao Tian thought about it and said, I heard that Tang Mei didn't like this son-in-law, and she hasn't had a round house yet. In this case, I will make the decision and let Tang Mei choose a good son-in-law again. No matter the prince or the general, as long as she likes it, I can point it to her. At that time, I will also hold a grand wedding for her, and let her sit around the city and parade the streets, with beautiful scenery.

The eunuch went to the palace to do something, and everyone thought that this thing could be done, and many people who usually didn't meet and couldn't speak also came to congratulate Su Bottle. After the congratulations, they gathered around Su Bottle and did not disperse for a long time. But when Li Quanfu came back and conveyed the holy will, only Lin Tong and Zhang Hu were left by Su Bei's side.

With such a rapid and obvious change, even Lin Tong felt embarrassed and couldn't help scratching his head. And Zhang Hu glared angrily, and scolded the street with a dry mouth.

Although Su Bei's side has become cold, Qinxiang Xiaozhuli is still lively, and Tang Kuan has to kill cattle and sheep to celebrate. But Mrs. Cao said that Concubine Fan's bones are not cold, so we will do a happy event not far away, and we always feel uncomfortable, so it is better to move to the Hou Mansion to do it. Tang Kuan said that what the old lady said was extremely true. So a group of people rushed to Ninghou's Mansion with a smile.

Su Bottle did not go to the Hou Mansion, but sat in the snail house. Quietly, alone, it is inevitable to lose in my heart. Suddenly, hearing the sound of footsteps, Su Bei cheered up and saw that it was Zhen Ping'er coming.

The beautiful maid Wanfu said: "Why don't you go to the Hou Mansion?" Miss, oh no, it was the county lord who asked the slave maid to invite the uncle over. ”

Su Bottle smiled bitterly: "I think it's better to forget it." Emperor Chrysostom has annulled this marriage, and I have nothing to do with Miss Six. ”

The maidservant said: "It was the county lord who invited you, and others won't say anything." ”

Su Bottle said: "But in what capacity should I go?" I don't think it's better to be embarrassed. ”

The banquet lasted until the time came, and everyone at the banquet was still discussing the title of the county lord. I really didn't expect the emperor to be so favored, and even let the Tang family choose the title by themselves. Concubine Kong said that since she is the lord of Dacheng, it is better to use the word "Chang'an".

Chang'an is the nest of the Tang family, and it is also the only big city in Longyou. But Mrs. Cao said, this Chang'an county lord has only been used by the sister of Tang Yu, the ancestor of the Tang family, and that sister has carried a knife in battle, so that Mei'er is on the same level as her, and she feels a little inappropriate.

Later, Tang Ning made the decision and named the lord of Erpin County the word "Hexi", which was also to express to the imperial court the determination of the Tang family to regain the lost territory in Hexi.

Although it was for the Tang family to choose, they did not have the right to decide, they just recommended the word "Hexi" to the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites was very likely to send the excerpt to the emperor to make the final decision. So it's not certain yet.

What title Tang Mei obtained, Su Bottle didn't care, but felt that it was redundant for him to stay in Miss Six's house. I also heard that the Tang family is considering building the county lord's mansion. However, the Tang family's economy was tight and they could not build a large number of buildings, so some people proposed that the governor's mansion should be changed to the county lord's mansion. It was also emphasized that it used to be the county lord's mansion.

That night, Tang Mei ate wine, was half drunk and half awake, and was helped home by the maids. In the second half of the night, the wine came up, she was drunk in Qinxiang Xiaozhu, lying on the window and beckoning Su Bottle to come to Xiaozhu, saying that she wanted to talk about family law to Su Bottle.

But soon the window closed again, and it is estimated that she was dragged back by Mama Wang's group.

There was nothing to say that night, and the next day, Su Bei rode a mule to work as usual. At that time, Tang Mei hadn't woken up yet, and saw Wang Jin'er, who had a high ponytail on her head, yawning and boiling water in the yard. Seeing Su Bottle, Wang Jin'er greeted with a big grin, and Su Bottle responded.

At this time, two mothers-in-law from the inner house passed by the door of Miss Six's house. said that they are mothers-in-law, but in fact, they are not very old, and they are all women who have been used by Grandpa Guo. crossed her head, with the status of a concubine. As they passed by the gate, they were talking when they heard a man say, "The little fox in my house was injured a few days ago, and he won't be able to go home for half a day, and I have to take care of it, otherwise I won't survive." Another person screamed: Who can be cruel to the little fox? This person lacks virtue and has no eyes to give birth to children.

As soon as she heard this, Wang Jin'er's slender eyes widened, blinked, stuck out her tongue and walked away.

Thinking that Wang Jin'er's big girl was quite cute, Su Bei left with a secret smile, came to the yamen of the criminal department, and went directly to see Xue Pang.

Xue Pang stood at the window, turned his back to Su Bottle and said, "Your Majesty has already given instructions on Huang Sanlang's matter, so it has to be done." But as far as I know, Wu Senjun was not involved in the case. And Ximen Kan, although he participated in the case, Huang Bingxuan forcibly took over the case and did not let Ximen Kan interfere again. ”

It seems that Ximen Kan and Wu Senjun have joined forces and have already dealt with Xue Pang, Su Bottle said: "Understood." ”

Xue Pang didn't turn around, but asked, "What do you understand?" ”

Su Bei said: "This unjust case was caused by Huang Bingxuan, the servant of the Criminal Department. Now, the case should be concluded quickly, and the wrongs should be brought to justice. At the same time, Huang Bingxuan was taken out of prison, and after further trial, he was convicted of a new crime. ”

Xue Pang turned around: "It's still more reassuring for you to do things." But it's not your turn to hear the case. Now you can put this case down, I have transferred the case to Jingzhao Mansion, and I will personally supervise their handling of the case. ”

Xue Pang sat down, there were two stacks of documents on the case in front of him, on the left hand side were some unsolved cases with no clues, and on the right hand side were some cases with clear clues just waiting to get people. He raised his right hand, took out two sets of files at random, looked at the title, and handed it to Su Bottle.

"These two cases are also related to Huang Bingxuan, and one can be done well."

Su Bottle took the file, and Xue Pang sat on his back in the chair: "Qi Yu's gang, the crime is extremely heinous, you have solved such a big case, I have written your merits in the file." I believe that Lord Shangshu will definitely see it, and even if he can't see it, I will mention it in front of him. In addition, I am also going to ask the emperor to carry out a comprehensive settlement throughout the country. If the emperor decrees the investigation, maybe I can promote you to be the temporary chief and go everywhere to supervise the execution. ”

Su Bottle thanked him and took the file to leave.

In the yamen of the Criminal Department, Su Bei did not have an office, so he could only sit in the office hall and find a place to look through the files. Mei Ran didn't know many words, but she also craned her neck to read.

These are two very simple cases, and it can even be said that you can just arrest people as they are. This is too simple, Su Bottle smiled, and set off with Mei Ran.

I don't know which link went wrong, the first group of suspects has left Luoyang. I went to the Fang Bureau and the county to check the road guides, and found that they had fled without permission and did not apply for road guides. So Su Bottle took Mei Ran to Pingkangfang again, preparing to arrest the second group of suspects.

On the east side of Pingkangfang, between the criss-crossing alleys, Su Bottlemei is wearing civilian clothes. This time, they didn't go to the Fang Bureau, because Su Bottle suspected that the disappearance of the first group of suspects might be related to the Fang Bureau.

"These old cases are all directed at Huang Bingxuan. During the period when this guy was a waiter, I really don't know how many cases he suppressed. However, those who can find him to suppress the case are not ordinary people. And just now we were a little careless in Jingxingfang, and those officials were grinding and delaying for two quarters of an hour before they were assembled. And two quarters of an hour is enough to get the news to the suspect. And those neighbors, I think are also suspicious. Maybe they lied. Those people didn't leave half a month ago at all, but just left. ”

Su Bottle hugged his shoulders and stared at a small two-story wooden building not far away. It was a small building that was bought here after the redemption of a famous man. She had no other skills to support herself, so she continued to entertain guests in this small building. But her business is not very good, Su Bottle has been observing for an hour, and there is not a single customer.

"Do you suspect that someone in the Workshop is tipping off?" Mei Ran asked.

"Can't be careless." After saying a word, Su Wei walked towards the alley north of the small wooden building: "Let's do it ourselves this time." ”

Feeling that there was no one in the small building, Su Bottlemei ran through the wall and entered, the door was open, they rushed to the second floor, and saw a gorgeously dressed woman lying on the ground, with blood under her, and the blood had coagulated.

Su Bottle squatted down, saw that she was dead, turned the corpse over, and on the originally handsome face of the servant, the corpse scar did not fade when pressed, and the cornea was cloudy.

"Died yesterday."
