In an instant, the princes and princesses turned their heads and looked at the eldest princess. Princess Lin'an, who was holding Emperor Yuanjing's arm, couldn't help but look over.

The crown prince swept away the eldest princess.

At the same time, a thought came to their hearts: Huaiqing wanted to promote his own people.

There are two ways for the prince and the princess to expand their power, one is to win over the courtiers and make them their supporters. Two: Promote henchmen.

The former was because Emperor Yuan Jing had a strong desire to control, and the emperor was perfect, and the rest of the princes, including the crown prince, did not dare to blatantly form a party.

The latter is their usual method.

But it also depends on the timing, and the princes and princesses feel that this is not a good time, because the task is too difficult.

Emperor Yuan Jing squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Who is the candidate for Huaiqing?"

The eldest princess replied: "Xu Qi'an, the gong of the yamen." ”

The second princess suddenly realized, "Ah", and said innocently: "On the day of worshipping the ancestors, the gong that showed great admiration for her sister? ”

This is a vicious word!

In front of Emperor Yuan Jing, he secretly poked and poked the eldest princess.

You must know that the eldest princess has not yet married, although Emperor Yuan Jing has been obsessed with cultivation in recent years, and he does not like to take care of the marriage of his son and daughter. But what's the matter with the princess always attracting bees and butterflies.

The eldest princess continued: "Father should have heard of this person, he is the nephew of Xu Pingzhi, who was implicated in the tax and silver case. ”

Emperor Yuan Jing finally became interested: "I remember, there is such a person, and he also refined fake silver. If it weren't for the inconvenience of the preservation of the fake silver and the huge amount of salt, I would have let Si Tianjian refine it in large quantities. ”

The material of fake silver is salt, and salt is too expensive, after listening to the advice of the warlock of Si Tianjian, Emperor Yuan Jing dispelled the idea of mass production of fake silver.

Not only that, when this person was on duty in Changle County, he performed well and repeatedly solved murder cases. The eldest princess added a fire.

Emperor Yuan Jing smiled: "In that case, you don't have to do it." ”

The eldest princess bowed her head and was convinced: "Father Emperor Mingjian, just yesterday, the gong Xu Qi'an clashed with a silver gong in the yamen, and he was seriously injured with a knife. and if he commits any of the following offences, he shall be cut off according to the law.

Now that people are locked up in the dungeon, their sons can ask their father to allow him to atone for his sins. ”

The eldest princess did not explain the reason for the conflict, and did not defend Xu Qi'an, because she knew that none of this was important.

The father doesn't care who is right and who is wrong, the father only cares about who is useful and who can do things.

Sure enough, Emperor Yuan Jing didn't even hesitate and think, and said: "Okay, since Huaiqing intercedes for him, I will allow him to make up for his mistakes and cooperate in handling the case, if I can't catch the real culprit who destroyed the Taizu Temple within half a month, I will directly behead him." ”

"Father Xie. ”

....

The princes and princesses left the study and joined their respective guards, and the eldest princess took her sword from the head of the guard.

The second princess grabbed the arm of her brother, His Royal Highness the Prince, and whispered, "Oh, Huaiqing gave me the first step." ”

The prince shook his head: "It's not necessarily a good thing, even Wei Yuan finds this case tricky, Huaiqing is just taking an idle move." That gong can really solve the case, which is an unexpected joy. If it doesn't work, Huaiqing will not lose, and it will be cut in half. ”

"Hmph, Huaiqing's heart is so dark. The second princess wrinkled her small nose and asked, "Brother, what's going on in the Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple?"

As he walked, the prince looked around and said in a low voice: "This case is not simple, otherwise Wei Yuan would not be full of sorrow. I'm afraid that only my father knows the secret. ”

Of course, I will know in the future .... He silently added in his heart, and at the same time, the woman's dust-like face appeared in his mind, and his heart was full of resentment.

"Lin'an!"

The eldest princess suddenly shouted, calling out to the brother and sister.

The crown prince and the second princess turned around together, and Princess Lin'an replied fiercely: "What are you doing!"

took advantage of the situation and hugged the arms of the prince's brother.

The eldest lord presided over the sword and said, "It's nothing...."

In the expressions of the brother and sister relaxed at the same time, a sword suddenly slapped on the buttocks of the second princess.

In the severe pain, the second princess turned pale at first, and only after a few seconds did she cry out "wow", pointing at the eldest princess and screaming: "Huaiqing, this palace is going to kill you." ”

The royal brothers and sisters, hypocritically, came to persuade and act as peacemakers.

The prince grimaced and said in a deep voice, "Huaiqing, you are too much. ”

"It's just to test Lin'an's martial arts, if Lin'an is not convinced, you can also take the school to the same palace. The eldest princess turned around, and the green silk "brush" unfolded, smart and beautiful.

The second princess looked at her back and cried and shouted, "I want to sue, go to my father to sue." ”

The prince said helplessly: "Another day, how can my father have the heart to take care of you now." ”

If there is a conflict or brawl between the princes, Emperor Yuan Jing will definitely be in charge, and he will be strictly controlled and punished heavily.

When the princesses fight with each other, everyone will have an attitude of calming things down.

The main reason is that most of the princes have practiced martial arts, and there will be damage when they fight. Among the princesses, the eldest princess practiced martial arts, and if the other princesses fought, they would slap them elegantly, and they would be angry, and they would grab their hair and bite people.

If it damages the royal face, it is unwilling to go online, and it is usually solved in private.

Princess Lin'an gritted her little silver teeth and cursed in pieces: "You wait for me, I'm going to grab all your things." ”

.....

The next day, early in the morning.

Wei Yuan, who had just finished meditating, received an edict from the palace.

"Your Majesty has sent a message to the servants, Duke Wei, go to the dungeon and ask for the gong. "The little eunuch who conveyed the oracle had a humble attitude:

"Your Majesty didn't eat a few bites this morning, and his mind is very heavy, hoping that Duke Wei will solve the case as soon as possible. ”

Sending someone to send the eunuch away, Wei Yuan smiled.

Yang Yan, who came over to accompany his father-in-law to breakfast, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems that there is no need for father-in-law to save him." ”

Nangong Qianrou let out a "heh", laughed at Yang Yan for being a stupid person who practiced martial arts and practiced his brain, and said:

"Why do you think my father-in-law said that to the eldest princess last night?"

Yang Yan thought about it, and reacted in hindsight.

Yesterday, the eldest princess sent someone to investigate the beginning and end of the conflict between Xu Qi'an and Zhu Chengzhu, and she thought that she was more concerned about him.

The father-in-law deliberately hinted at the eldest princess last night, and out of the tacit understanding of smart people, the eldest princess took the opportunity to recommend Xu Qi'an to His Majesty and let him make meritorious contributions.

In this way, Xu Qi'an can get rid of the crime justifiably, and no one can say anything.

Yang Yan had long expected that his father-in-law would save Xu Qi'an, put him in the dungeon, and sentenced him to be beheaded in half after seven days, all for the people in the yamen to see.

The greater the power, the less you can do what you want.

He frowned: "But if Xu Qi'an doesn't solve the case after half a month?"

Wei Yuan smiled: "Then he can only die, and then enter the rivers and lakes." Xu Qi'an, the number one, switched from open chess to dark chess. ”

The father-in-law actually thinks so highly of him.... Nangong Qianrou and Yang Yan straightened their faces.

Wei Yuan seemed to remember something, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Send someone to inform Li Yuchun that Your Majesty has specially allowed Qi'an to make meritorious contributions to the crime, and he Li Yuchun will be reinstated." ”

After a pause, Wei Yuan's expression seemed to be smiling: "Be grand." ”

.....

Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao, under the leadership of the jailer, came to the dungeon with a happy face and took their colleagues out of prison.

At this time, Xu Qi'an was pouring out his swollen bladder, leaning against the wall with one hand and his brother with the other, he was startled by the colleagues and jailers who suddenly rushed in, and his little hands shook....

"Damn..."Xu Qi'an scolded and wiped his hands on his prison uniform.

"Ning Yan, Ning Yan, you don't have to die!" Waiting for the jailer to take out the key to open the door, Song Tingfeng laughed and said:

"Your Majesty allows you to make up for your mistakes and make meritorious contributions for your crimes. ”

Your Majesty?

Xu Qi'an was stunned for a moment, and his first thought was:, No. 1 is Your Majesty?!

He then denied his guess, patted Song Tingfeng on the shoulder quietly, and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter?"

Song Tingfeng was in a hurry to share the joy, and he didn't realize that he was plotted, so he told Xu Qi'an in detail what happened.

There was an explosion in Sambo .... The Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple collapsed..... Xu Qi'an's pupils contracted, and he instantly thought of the strange cry for help he heard when he worshiped his ancestors.

That said, the previous guess was not wrong.

The cry for help wasn't directed at him, he just heard the cry for help because of some special purpose.

So, who is the cry for help coming from Samberry?

"What about the divine sword enshrined in the temple?" Xu Qi'an asked after pondering for a long time.

Song Tingfeng shook his head, indicating that he didn't know much, and said: "Because of your business, the leader was dismissed, and after you were locked in the dungeon, he ran downstairs, scolded the yamen, and slapped Duke Wei in the face in public..."

This is indeed something that Brother Chun can do... Xu Qi'an was a little moved in his heart.

Retrieving his uniform, waist tag, and saber from the prison chief, Xu Qi'an, who was told that the jade mirror had been taken away by his cousin, breathed a sigh of relief.

As expected, Wei Yuan didn't want to kill him. Even if there is no amnesty from His Majesty, Father Wei will definitely save him with a reasonable reason.

Out of the dungeon, the two walked towards the outside of the yamen, and when they approached the gate, they suddenly heard a gong ringing.

Li Yuchun was escorted into the yamen by several gong arches, and the leading gong struck an ordinary gong while shouting:

"Li Yinluo official reinstated...."

The officials and watchmen came out one after another to watch, pointing at Li Yuchun.

Brother Chun's face was red, and he lowered his head and walked quickly.

Not far away, the three little brothers looked at each other, and Xu Qi'an proposed: "The head official has been reinstated, which is gratifying, let's not bother." ”

Can't afford to lose this man.... Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao nodded, and the three of them agreed.

Brother Chun was rectified by Wei Yuan, yesterday you slapped him in the face in public, and today he beat the gong and drum to hit you in the face.... Xu Qi'an decided in his heart that he would not easily offend Wei Yuan in the future.

People who have lost a good chicken usually don't have a lot of energy.

Xu Qi'an was stinky, and he was in a hurry to go home to report the good news, so he didn't stop at Yamen, rode his beloved little mare, and rushed home.

After more than half an hour, I returned to Xu's house.

The porter Lao Zhang almost cried with joy, Xu Qi'an threw the reins of the horse to him and entered the courtyard, intending to report the good news to his family first.

At this point, the family had already had breakfast, and the second uncle was on duty, leaving Xu Xu at home alone in the New Year, talking to his mother in the back hall.

Seeing Xu Qi'an coming back, the aunt's beautiful eyes lit up, and she immediately suppressed her joy and gave her nephew a habitual disgusted expression.

Xu Xinnian was pleasantly surprised: "The eldest princess made a move so quickly?"

Xu Qi'an was stunned, and suddenly sorted out his thoughts, no wonder Emperor Yuan Jing would know that he was a little person, this was not reasonable.

It was the eldest princess who recommended herself in front of Emperor Yuanjing.... Well, it is not excluded that Wei Yuan seized the opportunity and created an opportunity for him to redeem his merits.

"Don't be optimistic too early, something happened..."Xu Qi'an glanced at his aunt and paused: "Let's talk later.... Hey, it's been a shame to worry my aunt for the past two days. According to the old story, my aunt stayed up all night for me. ”

When the aunt heard this, she fried the pot, and slashed at her open-mouthed son, and her snow-white and sharp chin was raised: "Hmph~"

Xu Xinnian continued: "Father went to Si Tianjian yesterday to ask the white-clothed warlocks to intercede, but he learned bad news. ”

He hesitated: "The prison is sick." ”

"What?" Xu Qi'an questioned, "Is the prison sick?"

A warlock, I'm sick!

He is also a warlock who started with a practice system that saved lives and helped the wounded.

The old detective Xu Qi'an immediately started to think about whether it would be related to Sangbo's mutation. It is impossible for the supervisor to lock himself in the gossip platform, watch the world, watch and watch, and give the wind a cold.

"The specifics are unknown. Xu Xinnian said: "I'll go to the sword guard camp to find my father and calm his heart." ”

My mother, who was humming and chirping at her cousin all day long, didn't sleep all night, so you can imagine how uncomfortable my father was.

"Okay!" Xu Qi'an said: "I'll go see Lingyue and Lingyin first, there will be something to do later, and I have to go back to the yamen." ”

Sangbo's matter, let's talk about it later, don't rush for a while.

"By the way, I left that mirror in the study, go back and get it yourself. The monk you asked me to find has already left, saying that he has a clue from his junior brother. Xu Xinnian said.

I'll just say, how can No. 1 be the emperor, No. 1 doesn't know about this at all.... It's still my father Wei and the eldest princess who are reliable.

Xu Qi'an came to the backyard and saw Xu Lingyin sitting under the eaves dejectedly, a small one.

No one was playing with her, and no one was in the mood to talk to her.

The stupid child also knew that something had happened to the eldest brother, and was not happy to play with the little goose, so he hung his head and scribbled on the ground with a branch.

"Hey, whose stupid kid is this? Xu Qi'an stopped not far away and said with a smile.

Xu Lingyin raised his head violently and looked at him stunned, and after a few seconds, his little face was filled with a bright smile.

"Big brother!"

She got up, walked on her short legs, spread her hands, and pounced on Xu Qi'an.

Xu Qi'an also greeted him, and in Xu Lingyin's smiling expression, he made a mistake and hugged his sister behind him.

Xu Lingyin, who was empty, turned his head blankly.

"Woooooooo Big brother...."

Xu Lingyue hugged Xu Qi'an's waist with both hands, buried her soft body in her cousin's arms, and cried a lot.

My sister's waist is full of hands, there is a faint fragrance between the hairs, and there is a faint smell of rouge gouache on her body.

Xu Qi comforted her back and comforted: "It's okay, the eldest brother is back." ”

Xu Lingyue didn't care, twisted her waist, and cried harder.

The last time the eldest brother was imprisoned in the yamen of the criminal department, Xu Lingyue was already very sad, but that time it was a conflict with the yamen, and it was a personal grudge after all.

And this time, the watchman who came to the house to summon the news said that the eldest brother would be cut in half in the vegetable market in seven days.

The nature is completely different.

Of course, Xu Lingyue is so attentive, and it has something to do with the rapid development of her relationship with her cousin during this time.

"Ah, it's still a sister of this era, soft and cute. Xu Qi'an hugged the girl's delicate body and sighed in his heart.

In his previous life, he didn't have a sister, but he had a cousin who didn't know how to be coquettish and cute, and didn't know how to cry and chirp to show weakness, so he would only sneer at you with disdain: Heh, bad pen.

"Big brother, big brother..."Xu Lingyin jumped on the spot twice, and said happily: "I'm going to tell my mother, my mother definitely doesn't know that you're back." ”

Xu Qi'an wanted to tell her that he walked in through the door, not over the wall. After thinking about it, I felt that there was no need to explain.

Nodding: "Go ahead!"

"By the way," he called out to Xu Lingyin again, "Are you so happy, is it because you can eat three bowls of rice at night?"

Xu Lingyin was taken aback, she didn't expect her eldest brother to know her thoughts, eldest brother is really powerful.

She ran away in fear.
