Bingwen looked at Xia Chu, and then at Su Qian'an, who was also confused. The two of them were pushed towards the study by Xia Chu for no reason.
Xia Chu pushed the two of them into the study, said hello at the door and went to find Kong Changhui.
When Kong Changhui returned to Mingxiang Garden, Shi Zhongfei had already told him that the young marquis was in the backyard. Kong Changhui had called Jiao Shi to inquire and found out that they were still talking. He was planning to wait for Xia Chu to go over and visit him when he was free. Unexpectedly, Xia Chu came to find him personally.
He opened the door and hurriedly saluted, then turned sideways to let Xia Chu enter the room.
Kong Changhui poured him a cup of tea and reported before he could speak: "Pang Weiguang is doing well on death row now. Wei Chen has arranged for someone to take care of him, and he is well fed and cared for. Don't worry, young master."
Xia Chu's hand holding the tea cup froze, and she looked at him and laughed: "You are really good at guessing your intentions now. It seems that Jing Qibin didn't teach you anything real."
Kong Changhui looked stunned, thinking that Xia Chu had nothing else to do with him except this matter. Could it be that he had guessed wrong
Kong Changhui couldn't think of it for a moment, so he simply stopped thinking about it and said truthfully according to what he was thinking: "It's not because it's the young master's business that Wei Chen takes it to heart."
Xia Chu took a sip of tea and said, "You are more likely to be an official than Jie Ji Ming."
Kong Changhui looked humble: "The talents of Jie Da are better than me."
Xia Chu put down the teacup in his hand and smiled: "In the way of being an official, talent and learning are one thing, and doing things is another."
The more Kong Changhui thought about it, the more he felt that this was not a good thing to hear. Did Xia Chu mean that he was not as talented as Xie Jiming, but he was smoother than Xie Jiming in dealing with things
"I'm praising you for being able to do both. Don't think twice. Xie Ji Ming has a lot of talent, but his temper is too stubborn." Xia Chu saw his embarrassed expression and smiled and motioned for him to sit down. He was originally worried that if Kong Changhui was promoted to the position of Minister of Dali Temple in the near future, it would be too fast.
After all, the cases accepted by Dali Temple are different from those of the Ministry of Punishment. The lowest ranking cases in Dali Temple are all cases of the third rank. If Kong Changhui cannot adapt, he may be harmed by promoting him.
Kong Changhui sat down, felt a little relieved after hearing what he said, and then sighed: "I am afraid that Mr. Jie just wants to be a famous Qing minister."
"Is there anything different about Jing Qibin these two days?" Xia Chu changed the topic and asked about his immediate superior.
"Master Jing has transferred a few people in the past two days. It seems that he is keeping an eye on who in turn." After Kong Changhui mentioned this, he did remember one thing. He didn't know the specific incident, but those people were not on duty without transfer orders. He noticed it and told Xia Chu when he asked.
A smile appeared on Xia Chu's lips. Jing Qibin was really curious.
Kong Changhui didn't know what his smile meant, so he immediately asked directly: "Do you need Weichen to help the young master check it out?"
Xia Chu shook his head: "No need, just give me the list of those people who will be transferred out."
Kong Changhui recalled it carefully, then walked to the desk and silently presented it to Xia Chu.
Xia Chu folded the paper and put it away: "In death row, you must arrange for someone to take good care of you."
Kong Changhui said quickly: "Wei Chen personally takes care of me every day."
Xia Chu waved his hand: "You can't do it, you have to find someone reliable to take your place."
"Ah?" Kong Changhui blinked, not knowing why.
"It won't be long before you are no longer in the Criminal Department. Let's make arrangements for one." Xia Chu walked towards the door and just turned back to him. After finishing speaking, he opened the door and walked out without waiting for his answer.
When Xia Chu returned to the study again, Bingwen had almost finished explaining to Su Qian'an.
Xia Chu said to Su Qian'an: "Let's go, I think Yin Xiang will be impatient to go to Yixiang Tower."
Bingwen spat at Xia Chu: "I'm going to meet Li Xinlan."
Xia Chu clicked his tongue: "I didn't say you went to Yixiang Tower to see Miss Xianli..."
Bingwen's mouth twitched as if he had toothache. Xia Chu smiled and waved to Su Qian'an and then left the study, leaving Bingwen chattering in the room.
Xia Chu returned to the Hou Mansion, so that Su Qian'an no longer had to be with him recently, so he could spend more time with Bingwen and the others or spend more time with Qianle.
Su Qian'an's protest was ineffective, so she had to retreat and walk towards Su Yuan.
When Xia Chu returned to Yunqiyuan, he saw Han Sa standing outside the courtyard with a bruised nose and swollen face from afar. He walked over and patted his shoulder with a sad expression.
Han Sa snorted twice: "Master, if you really feel sorry for me, just withdraw this order."
Xia Chu's eyes lit up, and she turned to face him and said, "That makes sense."
Upon hearing this, Han Sa's expression turned from sadness to joy, her originally swollen eyes opened wide with all her might, and she looked at Xia Chu expectantly.
"But I don't feel sorry for you. I just feel that your daily injuries have not diminished, which means that you have not made any progress these days." Xia Chu had a look of regret on his face and shook his head after speaking. He walked away with a graceful step.
Han Sa's face was stunned, and his chest was trembling, and he wanted to spit out a mouthful of blood...
"Master, the prince is in a really good mood today." Han Sa said through gritted teeth towards his back.
Xia Chu stopped and looked back, looking at his green and yellow face and laughing: "So?"
A smile appeared at the corner of Han Sa's mouth, but this face really didn't look good now. When he smiled, it looked even more charming: "Master, you'll know when you get in."
Xia Chu frowned. Seeing the door approaching, she didn't bother to talk to him and walked straight into the room.
The raven guarding the door saw him coming back, so he walked towards his room without him having to speak. Xia Chu looked at his back and was stunned, but the door suddenly opened from the inside.
Xiao Mubai had a cold face, and stretched out his hand to pull him in with hidden anger.
Xia Chu saw his slender eyebrows furrowed, and his long and straight eyelashes cast a dark blue shadow on his frosty side face. The slender figure was straight and sharp, and although his aura was suppressed, a domineering and cold aura enveloped the surroundings.
Xia Chu finally knew what Han Sa meant by what he said before entering the house.
It seems that Xiao Mubai's mood is really, really, really bad. No wonder Han Sa was outside the courtyard just now, smiling so sinisterly that it made people look at him.
Xia Chu felt guilty and decided to take a preemptive strike. He walked directly to the table and sat down. He asked with an unhappy face and feigned anger: "When did you put the secret guard next to me?"
Xiao Mubai slapped his hand on the table and leaned over to stare at him. His eyes were filled with anger and he was so cold and stern: "If I hadn't put Jiang Yan by your side, you would have gotten into him today." That’s a whip, isn’t it?”
