Xu Qi'an took out the prepared secret letter and put it on the table.

Su Su couldn't wait to unfold it, reading it several times, and the tears in her eyes seemed to be getting thicker and thicker, but she couldn't fall any way.

Tears are a strong emotional color, but they are not real.

How could a ghost cry, yes, she couldn't even cry for her family.

"I, how could my father get into trouble with so many enemies? This, this doesn't make sense. Su Su said sadly.

"The case of the Su family is extraordinary. Li Miaozhen patted the paper maid's shoulder and said with relief:

"We came to the capital, investigating your family's case is one of the purposes, don't worry, I will find out the case for you. ”

Xu Qi'an arched his hand, "Then there will be Lao Feiyan Woman, waiting for good news." ”

Li Miaozhen immediately turned her head, her face was disgusted, and she glared at him fiercely.

Of course, she just said it casually, to cheer up Su Su, how can this kind of thing rely on her alone. Xu Qi'an must be in charge.

This person just can't see her in the limelight.

"There is a silver ........ Xu Gongzi is gone. Li Miaozhen pouted.

"I promised you, it's just," Xu Qi'an looked embarrassed and said:

"I thought it was a small case, a matter of convenience, but, but I didn't expect it to be so deeply involved. Besides, I'm no longer a silver gong, and the investigation of the case is blocked everywhere, I'm afraid it will ......."

Su Su's face changed slightly: "Do you want to regret it?"

Xu Qi'an shook his head and said in a deep voice: "No, you have to add a year limit." ”

Zhong Li and Li Miaozhen didn't react for a while, but Su Su understood, lowered his head shyly, and said softly: "Many, how long?"

Xu Qi'an sold Guan Zi and said: "Let's talk about it later." ”

He didn't expect Su Su to really agree, so he just said that he was just talking about it and teasing the glamorous female ghost.

..........

As he was talking, Lao Zhang, the porter, shouted in the courtyard, with a little panic: "Da Lang, Da Lang, the people from the government are here........

Li Miaozhen heard this, his eyebrows twisted, grabbed the flying sword on the table, and pushed the door out.

Xu Qi'an went out with her, and happened to see a group of people entering the mansion strongly, led by a middle-aged man wearing the armor of the commander of the forbidden army, followed by more than a dozen stubborn armor soldiers.

In addition, he was accompanied by several watchmen, Yinluo Li Yuchun, Tongluo Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao.

The commander of the forbidden army, who was originally imposing, swept his eyes sharply in the inner courtyard, Chu Caiwei and Zhong Li of Si Tianjian, Li Miaozhen and Chu Yuanzhen of the Heavenly and Human Sects.........

His gaze softened quietly.

Xu Qi'an and Li Yuchun touched their eyes slightly, so they moved away without much communication.

The commander of the forbidden army pressed the handle of the knife with one hand and said in a loud voice: "Xu Qi'an, at the behest of His Majesty, I came to inquire about the robbery of the princess, please cooperate." ”

Emperor Yuan Jing is very attentive to the princess, even at this sensitive moment, he still sent someone to investigate me, which is enough to show that he attaches great importance to the princess...........

You have to deal with it well, otherwise, it is likely to break the current peace, and if Emperor Yuan Jing knows that I am "privately" hiding the princess, I will definitely not give up..........

Xu Qi'an bowed his head silently, and his tone was calm: "What does the general want to ask?"

The commander of the forbidden army said in a deep voice: "I am tired of Gongzi Xu to gather everyone in the house, and besides, this place is not a place to speak, so I will enter the hall to talk." ”

Xu Qi'an immediately asked the porter Lao Zhang to gather the servants of the house, and he took the commander of the forbidden army and Li Yuchun, as well as Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao, into the inner hall.

Because the servants were all gathered in the compound, no one served tea, Xu Qi'an sat on the main seat, looking at the commander of the forbidden army with an expressionless face.

What kind of attitude is this, simply arrogant......... The commander of the forbidden army glanced at him, also with a straight face, and said:

"Your Majesty has heard the mission mention of the robbery of the princess. But there are still some details unknown, please tell the truth. ”

Seeing Xu Qi'an nodding, the commander of the forbidden army continued: "According to the description of the maid sent back to the Huai Palace, after the princess was taken captive, Xu Gongzi caught up with the four leaders of the barbarians, can there be such a thing?"

Xu Qi'an replied truthfully: "Yes." ”

The commander of the forbidden army asked, "What happened later?"

"Later, I naturally fled, does the general think that I am a six-rank martial artist, and my ability is comparable to four four-rank powerhouses? Even if I have a magic book given by Confucianism, I can't do it, right? Xu Qi'an said in a rhetorical tone.

In this regard, the commander of the forbidden army did not refute it, and it was regarded as acquiescence, but he did not fully believe it, squinted his eyes, and asked:

"Since you know that you are not an opponent, why does Lord Xu want to catch up?"

Xu Qi'an's face was as usual: "I didn't know at the time that there was still a fourth-grade powerhouse waiting for the rabbit." The reason why he caught up was just to do his duty as a courtier, to see if there was a chance to save the princess, and when he saw that he couldn't do anything, he naturally gave up. ”

Do your duty as a courtier? The entire court, you are the most unworthy of a son......... The commander of the forbidden army was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly showed a meaningful smile:

"It seems that no one has ever told you that the princess is still alive, right? According to the maidservant's description, the "princess" had died at the hands of the snake demon Hongling at that time, how did Lord Xu know that the princess was still alive?"

When Xu Qi'an arrived, the fake princess was already dead.

The mission reported that the princess had been taken captive and whose whereabouts were unknown, and that was because they had not seen it. And Xu Qi'an clearly saw this scene at that time, it stands to reason that in his understanding, the princess is dead.

Now, Xu Qi'an is not surprised that the princess is not dead, what does this mean?

Facing the question of the commander of the forbidden army, Xu Qi'an also showed a meaningful smile: "It seems that no one has ever told you, I don't know that it is a fake princess." ”

The commander of the forbidden army frowned.

Xu Qi'an smiled confidently: "At that time, Que Yongxiu abandoned the mission and fled alone, he not only carried the "princess" on his back, but also let the guards flee with the maidservants.

"Hehe, Que Yongxiu is not a good person, if I can't see the real princess mixed in the maidservant, then I will be in vain in the name of the first god to catch?"

The commander of the forbidden army was stunned, he was powerless to refute Xu Qi'an's words, and even felt that it should be like this.

If the fake princess can hide Xu Qi'an, then he is not a legendary god hunt.

At this time, a forbidden soldier walked to the door of the inner hall and said respectfully: "Commander, the inspection has been completed." ”

The commander of the forbidden army immediately stood up and said, "Farewell." ”

He didn't look at Li Yuchun and the others, and left with them.

In the inner hall, only former colleagues remained, and the four people who had deep feelings in the past couldn't find a topic for a while, and they were silent with each other.

After a long time, Li Yuchun got up, Xu Qi'an hurriedly got up, Brother Chun walked up to him, examined it, stretched out his hand to smooth the folds on his chest for him, and said lightly:

"If your clothes have pleats, they don't look decent, and you have to remember to deal with these little things. ”

After speaking, he whispered: "Very well done, I am proud of you." ”

"Boss........" Xu Qi'an's eyes were hot.

Li Yuchun waved his hand and looked at Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao.

"Ning Yan, you should leave Beijing as soon as possible. ”

Song Tingfeng opened his arms, hugged him, and whispered in his ear, "Your Majesty will not let you go." ”

Zhu Guangxiao said in a sullen voice: "If you leave the capital, don't come back, our brothers may never see each other again." But it's good, it's better than not dead. ”

Xu Qi'an grinned and said with a smile: "I won't leave for the time being, I will have time to listen to music in the future, and I will treat you." ”

He sent the three of them out of the inner hall, and as soon as they reached the door, they saw Zhong Li leaning against the wall, carefully moving over, looking left and right along the way, guarding against possible dangers.

Then, she stared at Li Yuchun with wide eyes and took a look.

Xu Qi'an clearly saw that Brother Chun had goosebumps on the back of his neck, and then, as if he had encountered something terrible, he instinctively jumped back and flew up at the same time.

Bang!

Zhong Li was kicked out and rolled into the distance.

Li Yuchun opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, didn't dare to look at Zhong Li, and hid his face and left.

Xu Qi'an rushed over and helped Senior Sister Zhong up, she cried and asked aggrievedly: "Why did he beat me........"

“.........”

Xu Qi'an also opened his mouth, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he touched her head pityingly: "There is something wrong with him, and when I see him in the future, I will avoid him." ”

............

The commander of the forbidden army left the Xu Mansion with his subordinates and rode out of the road for a while, only then did he slow down and ask, "How is the situation in the Xu Mansion?"

The subordinate replied: "There have been no new servants who have entered the government recently, and there is no trace of disguise, everyone's identity has been asked clearly, and you can go back to check the identity of the household registration of the government office and the Changle County government."

"In addition, we briefly searched the Xu Mansion and found no unknown woman. ”

It seems that he really has nothing to do with the princess.......... The commander of the forbidden army commanded:

"During this time, send someone to keep an eye on the Xu Mansion, pay attention to everyone who enters and exits the Mansion, and report immediately if there is a new person who enters the Mansion. ”

The subordinate nodded yes, and then asked, "Does Xu Qi'an need to send someone to keep an eye on him?"

The commander of the forbidden army said angrily: "You are staring at a six-rank martial artist?"

“.........”

After returning to the palace, the commander of the forbidden army reported the matter truthfully, but Emperor Yuan Jing did not respond, neither gave the order to continue the investigation, nor did he say that he would stop there.

...........

The afternoon sun is slightly hot, and the green leaves reveal a colorful halo in the glow of the scorching sun.

The aunt decided to make sour plum soup for everyone to drink, and won unanimous praise from Xu Lingyin, Lina, and Chu Caiwei.

Xu Qi'an pushed open the door of Erlang's study, Xu Erlang was playing against Chu Yuanzhen, drinking and playing while chatting.

Tuk Tuk ....... Xu Bai knocked on the table twice, attracting the attention of the two, and said in a deep voice:

"Erlang, I remember that there is an official position that records every word and deed in the emperor's court, no matter how big or small, it must be recorded. ”

Chu Yuanzhen smiled and said, "It's Julang." ”

Xu Qi'an immediately nodded: "Yes, yes, it's Julang, well, it's from the Hanlin Academy, right?"

Xu Erlang raised his chin and said: "The Hanlin Academy is responsible for the revision of history books, and the living notes are one of the important bases for the revision of history. ”

Xu Qi'an asked, "Can you get in touch?"

Xu Erlang hesitated a little and nodded: "It's a little difficult, but it's okay." ”

Xu Qi'an whispered: "I want all the living notes since Emperor Yuanjing ascended the throne." ”

........ Xu Erlang refused: "It's ridiculous, the living notes can't be brought out, and besides, it can't be copied in a grand manner." ”

Xu Qi'an shook his head: "I didn't let anyone copy it, let alone let you take it out, write it down with your brain, and then recite it to me." The eight-grade self-cultivation realm has long been forgotten. ”

Xu Erlang's face turned white: "That's also very tiring, the living note is too long........."

Xu Qi'an patted the little brother's shoulder: "Didn't you make eye contact with Miss Wang, the eldest brother will teach you a trick after a while: Edo Forty-Eight Hands." ”

.............

The next day, Xu Qi'an rode his beloved little mare to a restaurant, asked for a private room, ordered wine and food, and waited slowly.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Mr. Chen of the Criminal Department and Dali Sicheng came to the appointment one after another.

The two of them were dressed in civilian clothes, very sneaky, as if they were afraid of being recognized, and made a simple disguise.

"Lord Xu is a taboo person now, and you have to be careful when meeting you in private. Dali Temple Cheng had a smile on his face and was eating and drinking leisurely.

Mr. Chen's face was serious, and he got straight to the point: "What are you looking for us?"

Xu Qi'an poured wine for the two of them and said with a smile:

"I'm worried about the two of you, I want to investigate an old case, the owner is named Su Hang, a Jinshi of Joan of Arc for 29 years. In the 14th year of Yuanjing, for unknown reasons, he was demoted to Jiangzhou as the prefect, and the following year, he was beheaded for bribery and corruption.

"This person used to be one of the princes, his status is not low, the Criminal Department and Dali Temple must have his file, I want to take a look. ”

Dali Temple Cheng frowned: "I haven't heard of this person, why did Lord Xu suddenly investigate an old case more than 20 years ago?"

Xu Qi'an explained casually: "Don't hide it, this eldest daughter of Su Hang is my concubine." ”

After saying this, he saw Chen Zhutou and Dali Sicheng's faces change violently.

“？？？”

Dali Temple swallowed his saliva: "The person who died in the 14th year of Yuanjing, he, his eldest daughter is your concubine?"

Chen Zhutou didn't speak, but looked at Xu Qi'an's eyes, as if to say: Hello?

Eh, Su Su's real age can indeed be my mother......... Xu Qi'an reacted and smiled indifferently:

"Just kidding, it's actually his eldest daughter's daughter, my concubine. Because of an accident, the eldest daughter happened to be not at home, so she escaped. ”

Dali Temple Cheng nodded: "This matter is easy to do, three days later, at the same time, meet here." I brought you the dossier, but you can't take it with you, and when I'm done, I'll take it back. ”

Chen Zhutou said: "Me too. ”

Xu Qi'an breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you both." ”

As he spoke, he took out two silver tickets worth one hundred taels.

Dali Temple didn't answer, and laughed at himself: "I just said that Lord Zheng has recalled my conscience, you don't want to defile me again." Eating your banquet is considered a reward. ”

Chen Zhutou: "Me too. ”

Are you Zhang Yide........ Xu Qi'an complained in his heart, raised his wine glass, and smiled to sign.

Having eaten and drunk, he straddled the back of the little mare and followed the rhythm of the ups and downs, and went to the teeth.

There is also a great beauty waiting for her to settle.

............

After lunch, the princess returned to the inn sullenly and sat down at the dresser without saying a word.

She suspected that she had been abandoned, and the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Sect had been gone for four days, and there was no news. And that stinky man seemed to have forgotten all about her.

Never came to her again.

There was still enough money for her to live in this inn for ten years, but she had no support in her heart, and she could no longer find a sense of security.

Especially after breakfast today, the princess disguised herself as an ordinary woman, and walked around the city alone and went to the theater.

The theater is always interesting, lively, and there are good shows to watch.

She took out five copper plates and went in to watch a play, which was about a daughter from a wealthy family who fell in love with a poor and sour talent, but because the door was not right, the family did not agree, so the two eloped.

The first life was sweet and happy, the scholar studied hard for fame, the rich daughter learned to do embroidery, the spoon was hand-adjusted, and the small life was poor, but it was still passable.

But gradually, as the money brought by the rich daughters was spent, the scholars only knew how to read, and their lives became stretched.

So the rich lady was abandoned by the scholar and kicked out of the house.

She walked alone on the street, and finally chose to commit suicide by throwing herself into the river.

Seeing the end, the princess burst into tears, feeling that she was the poor rich daughter.

was deceived out of the house by clever words, and then abandoned tragically.

"Xu Qi'an, who has suffered a thousand cuts, must have forgotten me, thinking that I am a burden........" The princess sat in front of the dresser, crying silently.

Just then, there was a knock on the door of the guest room.
