"My lord, after going to Beijing to report on your work this time, you are also going to the court, how happy are you."

Xiaoxiao sat outside the carriage, driving horses with Zheng Yi, and teased Zhang Cassia Ming when she had nothing to do.

Since the money cult was broken, various places have also begun to strengthen their precautions, and now in addition to not being able to find the mastermind behind the scenes, basically the dens that should be destroyed have been destroyed.

The imperial court decreed that Jin Zhang Cassia Ming was the squire of the second-grade criminal department, in charge of the large and small crimes in Beijing, and gave Yongning Mansion as a place to work and live, which was regarded as the first glory in Beijing.

"If you go to the capital to work, will you meet someone from Shenlongmen?" Wang Chen asked excitedly.

But Uncle Wang, who was sitting on the side, was very dissatisfied, "What do you think about the Shenlongmen, is that the place where you can go if you want to?" ”

Wang Chen, who was so frightened by Uncle Wang that he didn't dare to speak out, had no choice but to pout and bow his head.

Cassia also looked strange, how could Uncle Wang, who had always loved Wang Chen, suddenly change when he mentioned Shenlongmen.

However, this is Uncle Wang's business, and as a junior, it is not good to ask too much.

In the evening, everyone sat around the fire to warm up and rest, when the sound of birds woke Xiaoxiao.

When he opened his eyes and found that Zheng Yi was gone, he got up to look for him and found that he was flying a pigeon to pass the book.

"Zheng Yi, what are you doing?"

Xiaoxiao approached step by step, looking at him suspiciously, hoping that the other party could give an answer.

"I'm delivering a message of peace to the prince."

"Whose peace are you saying?"

In the face of Xiaoxiao's step-by-step questioning, Zheng Yi swallowed his saliva nervously.

"Yours."

Xiaoxiao stopped approaching, "Are you spying on me?" ”

This sentence made Zheng Yi panic, walked all the way to the front, and repeatedly said negative.

"What I say next, you must believe it, in fact, you are the long-lost daughter of the prince, Lord He."

Xiaoxiao, who heard the news, froze in place, looked at him in disbelief, repeating what she had just heard.

"Then why did he never tell me?"

"That's because it didn't get to the right time."

Xiaoxiao ran away in a panic, I don't know how long she ran, and when she saw Cassia, she rushed up and hugged him.

Cassia didn't know what was going on, but saw the figure in the distance, Zheng Yi catching up.

may have seen Xiaoxiao with adults, so he was relieved to leave.

Looking at Xiaoxiao, who was crying in her arms, she couldn't help but touch her head, "It's okay, everything will pass." ”

After saying this, Xiaoxiao hugged her tighter, "My lord, it turns out that the second prince is my father, but why didn't he tell me." ”

Hearing this, he immediately recalled the night when he fought with Zheng Yi that day, in fact, that night, he knew that Xiaoxiao was the lord of He.

However, I haven't been involved, I just want to wait for a suitable time to talk about it, but I didn't think it would be now.

"The second prince is in a high position, many people regard him as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh, you are his only daughter, he does this, but he doesn't want you to be hurt."

felt that such a remark had a little effect on Xiaoxiao, so he analyzed it.

"Do you know the distribution of power in the court?"

She shook her head, gradually parting from the adult's arms, and listened intently.

It turned out that Shenlongmen directly served the emperor, and now the second prince is responsible for leading troops to fight, holding military power and having his own army.

There are also some old ministers who spontaneously form a team to compete with the second prince, because most of them are the old courtiers of the emperor, and even the emperor has to worry about three points.

The old ministers in the court can't get used to the second prince, and the second prince is the emperor's uncle and holds military power.

Therefore, the emperor founded the Shenlongmen in an attempt to weaken the second prince and curb the spread of the power of the old ministers.

"You said, if it were you, would you let others know where your child is, the second prince has taken great pains to protect you."

Xiaoxiao stood in place, stunned to listen to the adult's analysis, and felt that the court was in chaos.

He began to slowly retract his tears and swallow the sobs.

After enlightening Xiaoxiao, he took her back to the team, Zheng Yi saw that she was fine, and leaned against the trunk of the tree with peace of mind.

However, Xiaoxiao didn't lose her temper, and sat next to Zheng Yi as usual.

He looked at Cassia from afar, and the determined look in his eyes showed that he had been enlightened.

Only then did he dare to muster up the courage to speak to Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you." ”

"Forget it, you are also on a mission, I don't blame you, but you are not allowed to hide anything about me in the future."

Seeing that Xiaoxiao didn't blame herself, she nodded violently, for fear of hesitating.

"Then tell me, my father, what kind of person he is."

The two chatted like this all night.

There was nothing to say all the way, and I arrived at the capital safely, and the prosperity of the capital was really incomparable with the small county.

Wang Chen and Xiaoxiao were full of praise for the new gadgets in the capital along the way, just like children.

Qin Yu used to be a master in the capital, and he added a little more familiarity to everything in the capital.

But Uncle Wang looked at the capital and seemed to be full of emotion, especially when he looked at Wang Chen's elated appearance, his face was full of sadness.

Several people came all the way to an inn, ready to settle down, and then enter the palace tomorrow to report on their work.

"I heard that the new squire of the Criminal Department is about to enter Beijing, and the emperor has built a Yongning Mansion for him to deal with large and small criminal cases."

The sound of discussion at the next table reached the ears of Cassia Ming's group, and Wang Chen and Xiaoxiao were very happy.

I didn't expect that all the things I did had spread to the capital.

But the rest of the people didn't seem to be very happy, and Xiaoxiao asked curiously, "My lord, why do you look so worried?" ”

Cassia pursed his lips and took out the tea leaves floating in the quilt, "A Beijing official can make the people know about his work, I'm afraid that something will happen in the future." ”

Qin Yu continued the conversation, "Sometimes, it's not good to have a reputation that is too prosperous, let's keep a low profile, and now here, it's not as good as being in the county seat." ”

As long as they ate, the people at the next table talked about it.

Speaking of the case in Guanqing County, and also about the money teaching, this boast, Zhang Cianming almost couldn't eat.

I left the dining table early and went back to my room to rest.

And right in the shadows, there was a man watching them......

"My lord, Zhang Cianming and others have entered Beijing."

In the middle sat a middle-aged man with gray hair, holding a puppy in his arms, leisurely stroking its fur.

"Zhang Cianming, destroy my plan, I will let you die without a place to bury."

After speaking, the dog in his arms suddenly screamed, struggling as if trying to escape from his palm, but was grabbed by the dead and couldn't break free.
