Towards the room.

When Xu Jian entered, he saw Shan Shen at a glance.

Master Shan stayed up all night, waiting for the court, he was really tired, sitting with his hands on his chest and napping.

There are not many seats indoors, and it was not Shan Shen's turn to sit, but everyone knew that Shuntianfu had been handling cases day and night recently, so no one was arguing with him.

An Yibo also arrived, glanced at Shan Shen a few times, and then at Xu Jian.

"I heard that you also stayed in the yamen until dawn?" An Yibo asked in a low voice, and when he saw Xu Jian's head, he said again, "It's better to be a young man, and you can bear it all night." ”

Xu Jian replied: "There will be a lack of it, not to mention that Master Shan has been boiling it since a few days ago." ”

"The case in the suburbs hasn't progressed yet?" An Yibo muttered and asked, but he didn't pay much attention, and only said to Xu Jian, "I heard that Mrs. Xu moved back to the house?" ”

"Yes." Xu Jian responded.

Xu Yi and Liu Huan have already settled down.

moved the night before yesterday, Xu Jian went over to look at it and said hello.

I couldn't be free yesterday, I didn't go home at night, and I didn't go to the backyard when I just went back to change my court clothes.

He didn't mean to avoid it, it was just a coincidence.

An Yibo looked at Xu Jian twice.

He couldn't tell what Xu Jian's attitude was towards his biological mother.

For Liu Jing, needless to say, An Yibo will see it in his eyes and will not look away.

For Mrs. Xu, I thought it was probably no better than Liu Jing, but looking at it recently, it seems to be very different.

When Mrs. Xu went to the yamen of Dali Temple to say goodbye to Liu Xun, Xu Jian accompanied her, and then went to Shuntian Mansion to settle the book of harmony.

If there is no trace of affection, with Xu Jian's temperament, it is impossible to do so, not to mention, Mrs. Xu has moved back to the Fuguo Mansion.

"It's okay," An Yibo pondered, "It's a good thing that there are people in the inner courtyard to help, my wife said, she will discuss with Mrs. Xu, so that you don't always have time in the yamen." ”

Xu Jian said: "It's hard work for Uncle and Uncle." ”

An Yibo took a reassuring pill.

is willing to let Mrs. Xu interfere in the marriage, which shows that the relationship between the two parties is quite relaxed.

That's fine.

Xu Mang is such an only daughter, and it is okay to go around and go home.

The hour was almost up, and seeing that the civil and military officials were about to line up to go to court, Xu Jian went over and woke Shan Shen up.

Shan Shen was drowsy and dazed, so he hurriedly wiped his face and cheered up.

Seeing that he woke up, a group of people around him asked about Sidao Hutong.

"I heard that the one who died was Doheng?"

"Killed? Does the murderer have a clue? ”

"Still pointing to him for breaking the case of Chen Mi Hutong, why did he die?"

Shan Shen's last bit of hesitation also disappeared, and he replied simply: "Say it for a while, say it for a while." ”

Soon, when the Shangshan Master plays, everyone will know.

Shan Shen was very happy, holding the fold, and told the current known situation one by one.

Xu Jian stood, his eyes raised, and he looked at the saint on the throne.

The saint sat up straight, his right arm resting on the armrest, and his expression was solemn.

Xu Jian only glanced at it twice before retracting his gaze, and did not look at the others again, especially King Jin.

He had speculated on King Jin's head before, and in all fairness, he was very curious about King Jin's current expression, but he couldn't look at it.

That's not easy to mess with.

In other words, King Jin was very defensive.

even made Xu Jian feel that there was a gaze on the front side that fell on him as if out of nowhere.

It's not obvious, it can even be said to be very hidden, if it weren't for Xu Jian's extra keen eyes on others, it would be difficult for him to detect it.

On that side, King Jin, King Xian, and even Prince Ping are all possible.

Shan Shen finished speaking.

The saint asked two questions, and then did not continue.

Other matters were played one by one, and Xu Jian still felt the scrutinizing gaze.

Thinking that it was time to react, he raised his eyes and looked back.

At that time, King Jin and King Xian were talking in a low voice, and the two of them looked faint, and their faces did not have any clues.

In order to facilitate communication with King Xian, King Jin, who was standing in front, leaned back slightly, lowered his head, and deflected half of his face, so he looked at Xu Jian with four eyes.

The eyes met, but it was extraordinarily natural.

King Xu is King Jin's gaze fell on the ground, and King Xian also glanced at Xu Jian.

Xu Jian lowered his eyes again, very respectful.

He was inclined to King Jin, but he couldn't completely reject King Xian.

I have to say that the glance just now, no matter which prince it is, the posture and eyes are just right.

Downward.

The saint left, and the courtiers in the Jinluan Hall also walked out one after another.

Xu Jian lagged behind, and his steps were not in a hurry.

Then, a hand fell on Xu Jian's shoulder and patted it lightly.

Xu Jian looked at the owner of the hand and said, "Lord Wang." ”

"You kid is very keen," King Jin smiled, "I just mentioned you to the eighth brother, and you came to see it." ”

Xu Jian didn't show any clue on his face: "I always feel that someone is watching." ”

"Yes, when I mentioned you, I naturally looked at you twice," King Jin said bluntly, not hiding it at all, "It is worthy of being born in martial arts." ”

After experiencing the battlefield of risk and fighting, you can be extra alert to the eyes of others.

"I heard that you went to the East Palace two days ago? What is the condition of His Highness? King Jin's voice was very low.

Xu Jian didn't answer positively: "The prince cares about His Highness very much? ”

"How can you not care?" King Jin sighed, "He has always been close to me, and he should teach him some lessons when he did something wrong this time, but he is still worried about it." Not only me, but the eighth brother also remembered it, and we just talked about it. ”

Xu Jian said: "The prince cares about His Royal Highness, why don't you mention it to the saint, and you also go to the East Palace to see him?" ”

"That's not good," King Jin rejected Xu Jian's suggestion, "He is grounded, and he deserves to be locked up by the Holy Lord for a while." You supervise the case, you should look for him if you have something, I and the eighth brother are different from you, if we want to see him, we will go to see him, what is he forbidden? ”

"You're right," Xu Jian responded, and said, "Your Highness is in good spirits, almost the same as usual, he was reading a book when the minister went in, and he regretted the matter of Chen Mi Hutong." ”

"Okay, you don't have to say good things for him," King Jin Yile had a smile on his face, "He can really calm down and read more books, and this grounding can be regarded as a chance for him to grow." The saint values him, and it would be too worrying for him to be so disobedient all the time. ”

Xu Jian also smiled.

The two of them walked out of the main hall together and walked down the long staircase.

King Jin pressed down his steps, and his eyes fell on Xu Jian's legs: "Your injury, alas! Your Highness is really ......"

"It is appropriate for the minister to protect His Highness," Xu Jian's tone was very flat, and he did not reveal any emotion, "The minister's injury cannot be said to be completely fine, but there is no problem with daily travel." ”

"Where is the daily travel without delay, it will be fine?" King Jin shook his head and sighed with emotion, "How many more doctors will be asked to break it?" Or ask some folk masters, maybe there will be a cure. ”

"The imperial doctors have done their best," Xu Jian said, "The masters outside are also inquiring one after another, and there is nothing to gain now." ”

"I just think it's a pity," King Jin said, "There is a shortage of generals in the imperial court, and the saint also mentioned to me in private, after your grandfather died of illness, I thought that you would be able to go up for a few more years, but this road did not work." ”

Xu Jian sighed: "The minister also feels a pity, but he can't be forced." ”

"What? That's it? King Jin glanced at Xu Jian, "Don't blame me for speaking rudely, you feel that your daily life has no impact now, and when you become a relative, you can't eat your legs, and you can't even hold your daughter-in-law." ”

Xu Jian was stunned.

Rao is sentence by sentence to understand the intention behind King Jin's words, and deal with it cautiously, he didn't expect that King Jin would suddenly come to such a sentence.

This is not a matter of coarseness, but that he has very little to do with the King of Jin, and the other party should not have talked about this, but he mentioned the little county lord so abruptly......

Seeing that Xu Jian didn't say anything, King Jin laughed again.

In the end, he was a young man who was not married, and he was teased by him like this, and he hadn't come back to his senses, and even, King Jin saw that Xu Jian's neck was slightly reddened behind his ears.

"I'll inquire too," King Jin didn't laugh any longer, "If there's a doctor who is good at treating injuries, I'll have someone look for you." ”

Xu Jian hurriedly said: "How can you trouble the prince......

"It's not troublesome," King Jin said as he walked, "His Royal Highness has a direct personality, and there is actually something awkward inside, your leg was injured because of him, and he didn't say it, but I could see that he was also worried about it."

You were ordered to accompany him to observe the government, and I think the meaning of the Holy One is also to let you be able to assist him more in the future.

If your leg injury can be healed well, Your Highness can rest assured, and you can save such a thorn in the middle, and it will be uncomfortable one day.

Healing is an important matter, and you don't push too much. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Jian said to himself: "It is better to be respectful than to obey his fate." ”

King Jin nodded.

The two walked out of the palace gate from the square.

The sedan chair was arranged aside, and the prince of Jin didn't say anything more, and bowed down to the sedan chair.

Xu Jian watched the sedan chair leave, his eyes gloomy.

Shenchen waited aside, and when he saw Xu Jian coming over, he whispered to him: "That room is arranged, and the person has just woken up." ”

Xu Jian nodded.

In Shenchen's mouth, the person who just woke up was Su Chang.

Wang Qi took Dao Heng away from the shop, and Su Chang's heart was full of emotions.

It wasn't his business, but he just felt cold, especially since yesterday evening, when he heard that a corpse had been found in Sidao Hutong.

Su Chang asked people to inquire, and sure enough, everyone outside said that it was Dao Heng who died.

In this way, Su Chang didn't dare to stay in his shop at all.

Thinking of the post he received during the day, he hurried to the banquet.

The banquet was organized by a chamber of commerce in the capital, and the members were all foreign merchants, and Su Chang was doing business in Beijing, so he had to deal with them on weekdays.

The banquet was set up in a restaurant on West Street, not far away, crowded and lively.

On the table, some have seen it a few times, and some have joined newly, and Su Chang found some sense of security in it.

During the banquet, someone who was well-informed talked about Dao Heng's case, and he could say a few words no matter how he decided.

Su Chang was shocked when he heard this, and he drank vigorously.

After that, he got drunk.

When he opened his eyes again, he was tied up in a room, with strips of cloth stuffed in his mouth, unable to move.

Su Chang instantly cried in fright.

As the table said, Dao Heng was also tied up and gagged, exactly the same as he is now.

The windows were nailed to the boards, and he could not see the light of day, nor did he know the hour, so he could only shiver in the room.

Until, he heard footsteps.

Xu Jian went straight back to the Guogong Mansion.

The Guogong Mansion is a big place, and he doesn't know if he is unaware, and he doesn't have to worry about whether he will be followed.

After entering the idle room and walking outside the ear room, Xu Jian sat down.

The entrance to the ear chamber was hung with a curtain, and the view inside and outside was blocked, and Su Chang could only hear voices but not see people.

"Su Chang, right," Xu Jian said slowly, "Don't be afraid of this, if I want to kill you, I will do it a long time ago, and I won't keep you until now." ”

Su Chang whined a few times.

He didn't believe it, but he couldn't help but take a bit of luck.

"Who was the man who killed Daoheng? Who is the eunuch who met you in Chenmi Hutong? You are a businessman and have no ability to make waves in the capital, so you can only be Su Yi, who does Su Yi do business with? ”

Su Chang's cold sweat rushed up again.

Don't look at this person asking three questions in a row, but being able to ask these shows that the other party knows a lot.

knew that he knew about Dao Heng's death, knew that he had met with a eunuch in Chenmi Hutong, and knew that he was just a chess piece in Su Yi's hand.

Footsteps started again, and someone entered the ear chamber and walked behind him.

Su Chang couldn't turn his head to take a look, but he couldn't move, his back was to the entrance, and he couldn't see the appearance of the person coming.

Soon, a strip of pitch-black cloth fell on his face, encircled his eyes, blinded his vision, and the strip of cloth in his mouth was ripped out.

Subconsciously, Su Chang wanted to shout for help.

It's just that he has been blocked by the strip of cloth for too long, his mouth is very uncomfortable, and it is dry, and he can't make a high sound.

"I'm not interested in killing you, unless you seek your own death."

Xu Jian, who was outside, opened his mouth again, and Su Chang was so excited that he didn't dare to scream.

"I know what you think, Dao Heng and you are not in the same group, you only listen to Su Yi, it is his business that Dao Heng was killed by his master, and his master will not go beyond his authority to kill you, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to Su Yi."

"Do you know how many years Dow Heng has been with his master? For more than ten years, from the Taixing period to Yongjia, there are merits, hard work, such a good general, kill if you say kill, why? ”

"Because Dao Heng was exposed, he was stared at by Shuntianfu, stared at by the garrison yamen, and everywhere was waiting to catch Dao Heng and receive the merit. is a good general and an old minister, and it is also a dead end for his master. ”

"You can't leave it behind."

"What if he knew and you were exposed? Will he keep you alive? Kill you first, and then give Su Yi some benefits, he can always explain the past, or is it that you Lord Su Yi are affectionate, knowing that you can't use this chess piece anymore, does he still want to keep you and let others follow the vine? ”

Every sentence was like a boulder smashing into Su Chang's heart, and the splash spread out, becoming an unstoppable sweat on his body.

For a moment, his whole body felt as if he had been fished out of water.

Who is this man?

Why know so much?

Is he really alive?

Su Chang's lips moved: "I, I ......"
