217 Good brother, for a lifetime!
"Hey, which one didn't drag the twenty-five or eighty-thousand- The opening is abrupt, and it is called a smooth slip when we plant our princess. Now that you're okay, you don't speak, what about pretending to be loyal and good generals here? ”
In the hall of Dali Temple, Qin Chai, who had just gone to the prison where Shen Ge and several people were imprisoned, couldn't help but complain.
If it weren't for the master's refusal, he would have rushed in and beaten them madly with a sack until they screamed!
"There are quite a few people on my side who have opened their mouths, and the one who can be identified is the one who helped spread the word. That Li Juren is related to the Chu family, but the connection is quite weak, and it is not so easy to pull people into the water. ”
Twilight clasped his hands to his chest, and he interrogated mainly about some of the minions they had caught today, as well as the nails they had found a few days ago.
These people speak easily, and they don't have much to offer.
However, Sun Qingzhi, who was responsible for interrogating the women in the princess's mansion, gained a lot, and said concisely:
"The crown prince, the four princes, the Xie family, the general's mansion, and some famous families. But two of them are so tricky that even they don't know who they're sending the message to. ”
According to the two women, although they are not from the same place, they are also raised by grandmothers.
And they didn't send messages a few times after they were sent to the princess's mansion, and when they sent them, they hid the news in a place and waited for the person who connected them to pick it up regularly.
As for who the main family really is, they don't know.
Qi Xiao, who heard this, darkened his peach blossom eyes, and it was a coincidence that he was able to find these two nails.
It's really that his status in the princess's mansion was too low before, so the two of them subconsciously ignored him when they eavesdropped.
In fact, if others watched the actions of the two of them, they might not think about it in detail, but would attribute it to the curiosity of the maid.
But he was different, the baptism of blood on the battlefield and the misfortune of his father and brother were telling him that any detail could be useful to him.
Sure enough, there is a lot of secret behind these two people.
It's just that he still can't help but be curious, how did she pick out a certain phoenix who has been raising her spirits since she came to Dali Temple and has started to eat after raising her gods?
However, seeing Qi Xiao looking at him, Feng Xi's first reaction was:
"If you want to eat, let Qin chase them and bring them to you, it is impossible to give you the things in the bowl of this palace!"
Qi Xiao: "......"
Looking at the leftover chicken bones in Feng Xi's bowl and the peeled orange peel that he didn't want, Qi Xiao really wanted to tell her that if you just give it to me, I won't eat it!
But in view of the crazy criticism that Little Phoenix can see him as a beautiful sister, he still asked very patiently:
"How did you pick out those fine works?"
Feng Xi tilted her head:
"Hongu said that it was based on the intuition of a madman, do you believe it?"
"Faith."
Seeing that Qi Xiao nodded without hesitation, Feng Xi was rarely moved that there were such fools in the world and said:
"In fact, they have malicious intent towards this palace, and this palace is particularly sensitive to this kind of malice, so it is better to believe it than to believe it."
Thinking that when she was still eating and waiting to die in the last days, the malice around her was too much and too obvious.
As the saying goes, women who can live in the last days, especially women with good faces, are all dangerous people.
And a madman like her is especially dangerous.
Feng Xi said it lightly, but Qi Xiao, who also had this intuition, knew that she must not rather believe it, but she really knew.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh, how could he forget that his little phoenix was a flying immortal outside the sky......
She knew more than he did, and there were some things she just didn't want to say.
"And what are you going to do with these details?"
Walking to Feng Xi's side, Qi Xiao wiped the grease from the corners of the girl's lips with a handkerchief, and the tone of the question was extremely gentle.
However, this gentleness turned into helplessness in the next second, because he heard Feng Xi say:
"Is there a possibility that you think for yourself that it is far faster and more reliable than asking Hongu?"
“…… You really trust me. ”
Stretched out his hand and patted Qi Xiao's shoulder, Feng Xi, who didn't understand the bitterness in Qi Xiao's words at all, said sincerely:
"Good brother, for a lifetime!"
Qi Xiao: "......"
Fortunately, Qi Xiao had long been accustomed to Feng Xi's out-of-tune, so he immediately picked up his peach blossom eyes, and responded with a smile on his lips:
"Well, good brother, a quilt."
And when Feng Xi and Qi Xiaoji reached a consensus on the same duck, there was an errand outside the yamen of Dali Temple who came to report quickly:
"His Royal Highness Zhaoming, Lord Shaoqing, the secretary of the Criminal Department and the member of the Criminal Department ask to see him."
"Xie Shangshu and Xie Dagongzi? Didn't the two of them go to the south to supervise the case of King Zhou's enclosure? ”
Qin Chai looked back at his master in some surprise, as if he was wondering if he was mistaken.
And the Xie Shangshu and Xie eldest son in his mouth are none other than the orphan of Xie Laoguo's brother, Xie Bin, who is now accepted by him as the son of the Xie family, and Xie Yao, the son of Xie Bin.
At the same time, these two are also Xie Wanyin's father and brother, and Feng Xi's uncle and eldest brother.
Just half a year ago, a cousin of Emperor Shengde, King Zhou Jun, enclosed land in the south to resist taxes, causing a lot of turmoil.
The DPRK and China first sent troops to suppress it, and then the Ministry of Punishment came forward to plan a follow-up investigation and accountability, and this Xie Shangshu personally asked for orders to go, and by the way, he took his eldest son out to see the world.
It stands to reason that the situation in the south is stable at the beginning, and the two of them should have some time before returning to Beijing, why did they suddenly come to Dali Temple today?
"Invite them in."
Qi Xiao didn't take Qin to chase after him, but directly asked the messenger to invite someone to go.
Qin Chai didn't understand why the Xie family's father and son returned, would he not know?
After all, Xie Bin is a book, and he is backed by the big tree of the Guogong Mansion, so if he doesn't know the news in Beijing, he must know something.
Now that his emperor's father-in-law is sick, and the court and China are fighting against each other, although their father and son can avoid some disasters when they are outside at the moment, they will also miss a lot of opportunities to gain a foothold.
Once the DPRK and China succeed in ascending to the throne, they may not be able to come back to their current status.
Officialdom is like a battlefield, and it is a good strategy to protect oneself with wisdom, but isn't it possible to advance bravely?
It's a little phoenix on the side......
"Would you like to see both of them? If I'm not mistaken, they probably didn't just come for ......."
His family and the Xie family's big house also have some friendship, and it is impossible for him not to see each other, but if the little phoenix doesn't want to see him, he naturally wants to help her stop people.
However, Qi Xiao's word "I" had not yet been spoken, and the father and son of the Xie family, who were supposed to enter with the pace of the errand service, had already entered the lobby like a storm.
And beside them, there is also a weak willow supporting the wind, making Qi Xiao and Feng Xi extremely familiar figures, who else can there be besides the second lady of the Xie family, Xie Wanyin?
looked at Xie Wanyin's family, and then looked at Qi Xiao beside him, Feng Xi, who got the plot of the original book in a second, instantly blessed his heart, and whispered to Qi Xiao with side eyes:
"See, your father-in-law and eldest brother of the original book have come to the door, and it's still too late for you to want to reconcile with Xie Wanyin. But let's talk ugly ahead, you can do it in the Green Palace, but you can't help but do the work of the princess's mansion~"
Qi Xiao: "......"
At this moment, he felt that what he wanted to do was not work, but ......
