Ulan city at the end of the grassland
Nangong Jingnu was looking at the so-called evidence, but she didn't want the tea cup to shatter inexplicably, and the hot water flooded the table.
She pinched a thick stack of paper, looked at the broken teacup and fell into contemplation.
She has been restless since the night, and the broken tea cup made her feel worse.
Nangong Jingnu originally wanted to pass Guan Tiansi to test the fortune, but after thinking about it, she let go of the idea.
Nangong Jingnv: "Get up, maybe this tea cup has been around for a long time, you should clean up the book case first, and ask the Inner Court Division to send a new set tomorrow, and replace all the old ones."
Qiu Ju heaved a sigh of relief and immediately complied.
Nangong Jingnu sat down on the chair again, and carefully read the material in her hand again.
Xie An said these two things vividly and the evidence is conclusive, but Nangong Jingnu didn't believe a word of it.
Qi Yan's private residence, Nangong Jingnu, is known, and the other party also said that it was a gift from an old friend. Since it was a gift, it must be a willing one, so why is it corrupted and bribed
Furthermore, in the ninth year of Jingjia, Qi Yan won Huiyuan, and after that, the palace tried to try to be a tanhua and was accused of getting married. When the two got married at the end of the year, Qi Yan had no official position at all, and then moved to Princess Zhen Zhen. government.
Nangong Jingnu sneered: How could she not understand? Xie An just learned that Qi Yan was ordered to meet Yuan, and rushed to curry favor in advance before the palace exam. Now Xie An is in prison and bites him, trying to make a big deal out of it and save his life.
Long before the two got married, Nangong Jingnu had seen Qi Yan on the street. She remembered that the other party ran out of the study in a hurry that day and bumped into her second sister. Now it seems that she should have gone to the study to sell characters.
Qi Yan is an orphan, and needs money for food, clothing, housing, and transportation in the capital. If it's like what Xie An said, why should Qi Yan go to practice herself? With fame and fame, do you still need to be a businessman
As for the hundreds of antique calligraphy and paintings, they can be big or small.
Qi Yan Xiwen knew that Mo Nangong Jingnu knew, but maybe Xie An left things in the house by himself, intending to bury the involvement.
There are also ten thousand taels of silver notes, which Nangong Jingnv even thinks is nonsense. Judging from the accounts, the Concubine's House had been built at that time, and Qi Yan had also moved out.
Nangong Jingnu moved half of the things in the treasury of the princess' mansion to the concubine's mansion. There are several large boxes of real gold and silver, not to mention the treasures bestowed by the royal family. Ten thousand taels is just a drop in the ocean in front of these things.
Will Qi Yan be short of money? Even if there is an urgent need, just say it to yourself, why bother to seek distance
Nangong Jingnu became angrier the more she looked at it, and wished to find someone to arrest Xie An and whip him a few times in person.
But when she got angry, Nangong Jingnv did not lose her calm because of it: framing the court officials was a serious crime, and Xie An would not be so stupid even if he went to the doctor in an emergency.
But right now, Xie An can't be delayed.
Nangong Jingnu has carefully reviewed Xie An's confession. There are more than 30 officials in Guangjing who have private contacts with Xie An, and there are hundreds of officials from other places... It's rare that Xie An can make these as small as a hundred taels. I remember the accounts clearly, it seems that it is not unreasonable for the Xie family to be rich for so many years.
The case involved is so extensive that it will take one to two years to obtain evidence at the earliest. Some places have to go back and forth for the first half of the year. It is unrealistic to work so hard to convict a businessman.
Nangong Jingnu understood it: Xie An himself knew that this confession was true and false, and it would be difficult to verify even if it was a three-challenge trial, and he became the first plaintiff to use the court's laws to save his life. It seemed that he wanted to Drag him to Nangong and look back to Beijing, so as to save his life.
With a "bang", Nangong Jingnu took pictures of the table, she was angry that she would be restrained by a merchant, and that so many courtiers colluded with the merchant in disregard of the law.
Nangong Jingnu came to the window, and the guard not far from the window immediately ran over and knelt in front of the window: "What are your orders?"
Nangong Jingnv: "I look at the night in this palace, you all step back."
Guard: "Yes!"
The night was as cool as water, and you could vaguely see the slowly fluttering black clouds, and the moon appeared and disappeared.
Nangong Jingnu sighed softly: It would be great if Qi Yan was by her side, at least she could let him come up with ideas.
The pool of water in the courtroom is really too deep. She has lived in the inner court for a long time and can't see anything. If it weren't for Xie An's incident, she would have thought that the court was so peaceful.
Luobei Prairie.
In the dark night, a staggering figure was walking forward, a horse followed behind her.
Jin Huanwu was very guilty, and several times he asked Qi Yan to sit on the horse, but he was rejected.
Qi Yan's left arm hangs by her side, and the front of her shirt is stained red with blood. Holding a fire book in his right hand, he was looking for something on the ground.
On the verge of death, Qi Yan, who was on the verge of death, burst out with unprecedented power, stuck the wolf's mouth with a longbow to avoid the end of her throat being bitten, and then took the opportunity to stab the wolf with a dagger, and blood sprayed her full. His face was covered, and his left arm was also bitten by a wolf.
In the end, the wolf fell on Qi Yan's body out of breath. Qi Yan let the wolf's corpse lie on the ground and gasped for a long time, and finally recovered a little strength before pushing the wolf's corpse away.
She was trembling all over, trying several times before barely getting up from the ground. After the catastrophe, she did not have the slightest joy, but an unspeakable disappointment and sadness.
The horse was incompetent, missed the target one after another, and did not count the number of arrows... If his father was still alive, he would be very disappointed in himself, right
Although Qi Yan wore the identity of Wei people, she never forgot her identity for a moment, but tonight's performance was very different from what she imagined.
It's not that the requirements are too high, but that after going around for more than ten years, Qi Yan suddenly found that his former talent was disappearing little by little.
Qi Yan didn't blame Jin Huanwu, but was full of guilt about her new mount. It was she who overestimated herself that made Jin Huanwu hurt.
But Qi Yan didn't have the strength to explain, so he could only grieve Jin Huanwu for a while.
Her father once told her: the wolf's teeth and claws are poisonous, and if they are not disposed of in time, they will go crazy.
However, there is a kind of grass with blue leaves near the wolf's den, which can be smashed and applied to the wound to detoxify the wolf.
Hurry up to find that kind of grass and treat the wounds for yourself and Jin Huanwu.
After using nine of the ten fire books he brought, Qi Yan finally found the wolf's den, and with a low roar, eight green eyes floated from the dark hole.
The chill went straight to the top of her head, and Qi Yan never expected this result...
I have no strength, there are actually four wolves in the wolf den!
However, the wolf in the wolf's den did not rush out, Qi Yan dared to look inward with the fire stick.
A female wolf bared its teeth and let out a low roar, and hunched over to block Qi Yan's sight.
Unable to tell what it was like in her heart, Qi Yan retreated to Jinhuanwu's side, unpacked and left only a little dry food, threw all the edible things into the hole, and then bit the fire zhezi in his mouth and changed his grip. Dagger, squat down and rummage through the herbs to detoxify wolf poison.
From the cave came the whimpering of the cub eating, and the female wolf's low growl disappeared, but she still kept her green eyes open, watching Qi Yan's every move.
Got it! Qi Yan saw a large piece of grass with bluish edges, pulled a dozen of them in one breath, retreated to Jinhuanwu, got on his horse, and left the wolf's den.
When they came to an open area, Qi Yan dismounted and stuffed the herbs into his mouth to chew, put the herbs on his arms and sprinkled some powder from Qiantong, cut a piece of cloth and wrapped it up. Then he got up and applied the herbs to Jinhuanwu, and the remaining few were fed to Jinhuanwu to eat.
After doing all this, Qi Yan patted Jin Huanwu on the neck and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well."
Jin Huanwu looked at Qi Yan with those wet eyes, snorted and rubbed Qi Yan's cheek.
People and horses are in the same mood, and there is no need to explain too much.
Qi Yan took dry food and water and sat on the ground. After recovering a little, she changed into clean clothes. She found that her inner clothes were also soaked with wolf blood, but that was all.
After five days and five nights, Qi Yan finally arrived at the northernmost point of the grassland: Wulan City.
The terrain of Wulan City is remote, and Nangong Rang believes that there is no need to repair the city, so the former style of the grassland has been maintained.
Qi Yan held the reins with one hand, her upper body bent into a bow shape, her body swaying as the horse moved.
Jinhuanwu was the first to smell the human scent and reminded Qi Yan, the latter immediately sat up straight and cheered up and looked into the distance, a large tent - Wulan City finally arrived!
Qi Yan took off the water bag, wiped the last bit of water on her face, wiped off the stains on her face with her cuff, and walked towards the tent with her horse belly.
Halfway through the journey, he was stopped by a team of prairie warriors.
Qi Yan: "I am the imperial envoy to welcome Concubine Yagui back to the palace, I would like to ask you to lead the way."
The person on the opposite side said to his companion in prairie dialect: "The princess has explained that if there is a Wei country person with yellow eyes, take her to see her."
Qi Yan heard it clearly, and the other party called Jiya a "princess" instead of a "concubine".
The prairie came to Qi Yan's side, took the reins from her hand, tied it to his saddle, and ran towards the tent, all the way to the outside of the tent.
"Princess, the Wei people you mentioned is here."
There was a cry of a baby in the big tent, Ji Ya: "Take him down to rest first, and treat him well."
Qi Yan glanced into the tent, but unfortunately the door screen blocked her view.
There are also furniture similar to screens in the grasslands, but the placement and function are completely different from those in the Wei Kingdom.
The screens on the grasslands are generally placed at the entrance of the tents, which are used to store saddles and weapons, so that it is convenient to fight at any time.
Qi Yan's heart was full of alarms, why did the baby cry in Ji Ya's tent
