He shouted "Family Law" very powerfully, but Jiang Xuanjin frowned when he heard it.
"Lord Bai." He said, "My Madam's move is intended to kill someone."
Where human life is involved, how can family law handle it
Bai Dezhong pretended not to hear what he said, and scolded angrily: "Hit me hard, let her know how big a mistake I have made!"
"Yes!" The house slaves agreed, took a stick and stood behind Bai Mengshi.
Bai Mengshi panicked: "Master, I haven't pleaded guilty yet, how can you beat me directly!"
Bai De looked at her with a charming expression, frowned slightly, and shook his head slightly.
The two have been husband and wife for decades, and they have a good understanding, and Bai Mengshi understood when he saw his eyes - he wanted to deal with himself first, so as to prevent Ziyang Jun from sending her to the Yamen.
Looking at the stick as thick as a baby's wrist, Bai Mengshi choked up and shook his head. Even if Bai Dezhong wanted to save her, she didn't want to be punished!
Jiang Xuanjin next to him looked at these two people coldly, thought for a while, and took a step back, as if he really didn't care about it, just waiting to see how strong the Bai family's family law is.
Bai Dezhong glanced at it from the corner of his eye, heaved a sigh of relief, and then said sharply: "What are you still doing in a daze? No one should save effort for the family law of twenty sticks!"
As soon as the house servant heard this, the two immediately stepped forward and pressed Bai Mengshi to the ground, and one of them held the stick, raised it high and then let it fall hard!
With a sound of "bang", Bai Mengshi didn't care about her manners, and immediately screamed: "Ah—"
Bai Dezhong listened to her coldly, and asked her, "Do you know you're wrong?"
After receiving two sticks, Bai Mengshi couldn't bear to struggle, and cried: "I am, I am fascinated by ghosts for a while... ah!"
"Obsessed by ghosts?" Bai Dezhong slapped the case hard, got up and said angrily, "As the mistress, you actually did something to murder the lives of people in the mansion, this is more than just obsessed by ghosts!"
"Ah!" Bai Mengshi wailed, her face was pale, and her expression became crazy, "I'm wrong! I'm wrong! Stop it..."
Not at all soft-hearted, Bai Dezhong flicked his sleeves and said to the slave: "Hit hard!"
The house slave was startled. Immediately, the blow became heavier, causing Bai Mengshi to cry bitterly: "Don't hit... don't hit..."
Jiang Xuanjin watched quietly, the sound of the stick hitting the flesh was muffled and loud, perhaps with the same force as it hit Bai Zhuji before.
After the twenty sticks were beaten, Bai Mengshi had no strength to shout, his face was pale, his head was covered with cold sweat, and he was extremely embarrassed.
Bai Dezhong's anger subsided slightly, thinking that it was an excuse to fight like this, so he turned his head and wanted to say something nice to Ziyang Jun.
As a result, Lingxiu hurried in from the door before she could speak.
"Master, Your Majesty!" She cried and knelt down as soon as she entered the door, screaming, "Miss, Miss is dying—"
With a shock in his heart, Bai Dezhong got up in disbelief and took two steps towards her: "What did you say?!"
Lingxiu sobbed and covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face: "Go and have a look!"
Suddenly raising his head to look in the direction outside the door, Bai De raised his foot and rushed towards the south courtyard. Stumbling in a panic, he almost fell on the door.
Seeing the excited appearance of Bai Yushi in front of him, Chengxu coughed lightly, and reminded his indifferent master in a low voice: "You should be sad at any rate."
Even if you know it's fake, you still have to pretend, right
Jiang Xuanjin regained consciousness, lowered her head and thought about it seriously, then tried her best to lower her eyebrows, dimmed her eyes, and showed a sad expression.
Chengxu: "..."
Fortunately, Bai Yushi was in no mood to look back, this pretending was too fake.
Compared with him, Miss Bai Si's acting skills in the South Courtyard are simply superb! Look at the blue face, trembling half-open eyes, pale and chapped lips, no matter from which angle you look at it, you are a perfect "dying" person.
Trembling, Bai De stepped into the main room, stood by the bed and looked down at her.
"Pearl..."
"Father, are you here?" After coughing twice, she smiled weakly at him, "Finally, I can leave with peace of mind when you come..."
"What nonsense!" Bai De sternly yelled, shaking his head and said, "You will be fine!"
"The doctor girl said I had 'a bit of blood', and that thing was very poisonous, and it couldn't be cured." With tears in her eyes, the tears were full of pain, she raised her hand towards him, and then lowered it weakly.
"It's all my fault. I would have confessed to Bai Mengshi's crime if I knew it, and I wouldn't let her bear the grudge so far and insist on taking my life..."
As he spoke, he coughed twice, and spat out blood "Wow".
Bai Dezhong's heart was shocked.
Hearing someone tell that Zhuji had been poisoned was completely different from seeing her in person. Just now, Lord Ziyang was so aggressive that he wanted to arrest Bai Mengshi for questioning, but his first reaction was to think: a husband and wife who have been married for decades can't just send Bai Mengshi to prison like this. Zhuji is not dead yet, maybe this matter can be suppressed.
However, seeing the black blood on the ground and seeing Zhuji's painful appearance, Bai De's eyes turned red.
Meng Shuqin was so cruel that he wanted to poison his daughter to death. How could he protect such a femme fatale woman? How could he cover up!
"Don't be sad..." The person on the bed was still pulling the corners of his mouth to comfort him, "Anyway, I'm just a fool who doesn't understand the rules, and I will die when I die, and I can go underground to ask my mother if she is doing well."
The last words made Bai De tremble heavily.
Zhuji's mother was a very gentle woman, and she was also the only woman he had ever really touched when he was young. He promised to take good care of her but failed to do it, and he promised to take good care of Zhuji, but he also failed to do it.
For a moment, Bai Dezhong only felt guilty, his fists were clenched tightly, and his heart was full of desolation.
Seeing that he was in a good mood, Li Huaiyu struggled to make an end—she moved her head, bowed heavily to Bai De, then suddenly closed her eyes and passed out.
"Zhuji!" His eyes were red, Bai De took a deep breath, and choked up a sob as he grabbed the strings of the bed.
Miss Bai Si's appearance was so miserable that everyone in the room couldn't help but sigh. The soft-hearted little maid even burst into tears immediately.
The atmosphere in the room was suddenly solemn, Jiang Xuanjin looked around, thought for a while, closed his eyes and lowered his head, trying to blend into the sad atmosphere.
Li Huaiyu on the bed closed his eyes and listened to the crying, secretly gritted his teeth.
Jiang Xuanjin, that bastard, last time she was made to listen to Mian Shou and the palace people cry in Feiyun Palace, and this time he let her lie here and listen to the Bai family's mourning, in case her luck was ruined, She has to settle the score with him!
The crying continued for a while, and Bai Dezhong's voice finally sounded hoarsely beside the bed: "Come here."
"master?"
"Tie up Meng Shuqin." He said in a deep voice, "Come with me and go to the Yamen of the capital."
The butler was taken aback and looked at him in surprise: "This..."
"Go!" Bai De raised his head again, and his face instantly aged a lot, "Your Majesty is right, the matter of murdering people's lives cannot be dealt with by the family law, and can only be handed over to the king's law."
Seeing Bai Dezhong's sudden firmness, Jiang Xuanjin finally relaxed his brows, and let him leave with the housekeeper and slaves without following.
Originally, he thought that if Bai Zhuji couldn't make Bai De regain his consciousness, he would personally tie up Bai Mengshi and escort him to the yamen. But now, Jiang Xuanjin felt that he could save this trip and just wait for the news here.
After driving out the idlers and others, Jiang Xuanjin sat by the bed: "Open your eyes."
Huaiyu obediently opened her eyelids, moved her body with a smile, and wanted to lie on his lap.
He raised his hand to block it, his eyes were cold: "Don't think about it!"
"What's the matter?" Huaiyu looked up at him puzzled, "How did I offend you again? It was fine before, but in a blink of an eye it became so indifferent."
Push her head back on the pillow. Jiang Xuanjin remembered her action of leaving Lu Jingxing's arms in front of him, and said coldly, "Since you know how to avoid suspicion, you should avoid everyone."
What? Li Huaiyu was in a daze for a while, tilting her head and thinking, when did she avoid suspicion in front of others? The word avoidance has never appeared in her life!
Jiang Xuanjin didn't explain much, and said in a low voice: "I've let people know about the yamen, you don't have to worry about the rest, just rest."
After saying this, get up and leave.
Sensing something was wrong, Huaiyu reached out and grabbed his clothes: "Where are you going?"
"Where else can I go?" He said coldly, "Deal with business."
Jiang Xuanjin is a person who assists the government under the decree of the former emperor. He has not been in court for a few days, and the paperwork has piled up.
Huaiyu patted the strings of the bed: "Isn't it okay to come here? I can still rub your shoulders!"
Glancing at her sideways, he said angrily, "No more pain in your hands? Still rubbing your shoulders?"
"It hurts, but it's much better than yesterday. I can move." She squeezed her hands and opened them again. She smiled flatteringly at him, "Even if you can't rub your shoulders well, I can peel an orange for you."
Who cares? Jiang Xuanjin stretched out his hand, wanting to tear away her hand that was holding the hem of his clothes.
However, as soon as his fingers touched, the man loosened his clothes and quickly grabbed him with his backhand. Palms pressed together, fingers squeezed into his fingers one by one, clasping firmly.
"Why are you acting like a child?" She shook his hand and teased, "I was angry and refused to explain clearly, so I made up my mind not to play with me? Gui Geng?"
Jiang Xuanjin looked at her unhappily, her jaw was tensed, and her thin lips were lightly pursed.
He was so angry for no reason, Li Huaiyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, winked at him, and said softly, "I'll peel the oranges for you, please forgive me, okay?"
The voice was soft, a little bit wronged, and a little doting, as if a little husband who had made a mistake was coaxing his little lady.
Jiang Xuanjin: "..."
He doesn't eat this set!
However, after half a stick of incense, Lingxiu brought a large plate of oranges, took advantage of the situation to carry a large pile of paperwork, and placed them by the bed in the main room.
Li Huaiyuzai washed his hands carefully twice, took an orange, peeled it, and handed it to him one by one. Jiang Xuanjin sat on the strings of her bed, looked at the document in her hand and said, "It hasn't been peeled clean."
Lingxiu was stunned, thinking why the orange hasn't been peeled clean yet? Not a bit of skin left.
But Li Huaiyu understood, didn't say anything, peeled off the stems from the orange petals with a good temper, and then fed it to him.
Jiang Xuanjin opened his mouth and bit, his face softened a little.
Taking advantage of the emptiness, the corners of his eyes twitched.
Is this still the master of his family who is so lofty as if he doesn't eat the fireworks of the world? ah! This is clearly a little girl who wants to be loved and coaxed! She is fine in front of others, but why does she look like this when she meets the Fourth Miss of the Bai family!
What's even more frightening is that Fourth Miss didn't think it was strange, and she almost held him in her palm with her attitude of letting him go!
Chengxu wanted to bang his head against the wall to see if he was dreaming.
When Huaiyu was peeling the fourth orange, Yufeng from outside came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the capital yamen has been promoted, Ting Weizheng Xu Yan recognized 'a little blood', and interrogated Bai Mengshi. Because of the family law, Meng's health was exhausted, and he passed out directly in the hall."
After closing the document, Jiang Xuanjin raised his eyes and asked, "How did Master Xu deal with it?"
"Temporarily detain Bai Mengshi from the yamen, and then order people to investigate the source of the poison first." Yufeng said, "Why the forbidden medicine appeared outside the palace seems to have aroused Master Xu's interest."
Jiang Xuanjin didn't have any special reaction, nodded and continued to read the documents. Huaiyu next to her was holding an orange, but her mood was a bit complicated.
This person is too smart, he wanted to investigate Meng Hengyuan, but he started with Bai Mengshi. After dragging Bai De back into the water, he stood on the shore without getting his shoes wet.
You can guess what will happen next—if Xu Yan wants to investigate, someone will definitely bring evidence of Meng Hengyuan's trading of prohibited drugs to his door, and then Meng Hengyuan will be convicted, and Bai Mengshi will also be convicted of "murder of human life".
Kill two birds with one stone!
As expected of Mr. Ziyang, such a scheming city, no wonder he was able to swindle her to death in the trap, and let her not even notice it.
Unable to eat the oranges handed over to him, Jiang Xuanjin tilted his head in doubt: "What?"
Suddenly regaining consciousness, Huaiyu looked down and saw that he almost crushed the orange, and the juice flowed down to his wrist.
Quickly let go, she smiled and said: "It's okay." Then she opened her sleeve to wipe the orange juice on her wrist.
However, as soon as the sleeve was pulled away, she found something extra on her wrist.
"Huh?" Seeing the familiar agarwood wood Buddha beads, a flash of light flashed across his arms and eyes.
"What is this?" She asked knowingly, smiling with gleaming white teeth.
Jiang Xuanjin paused, and his face turned serious. Shen Sheng said: "If you accidentally drop it on your place, return it to me."
"Is there any reason to go back for what was given away?" Huaiyu grinned, took off the prayer beads and took a closer look.
The top-quality agarwood, ten beads are black and glowing. Each bead seems to be engraved with words.
"Shi, quit, endure, wish... what do you mean?" she muttered.
Jiang Xuanjin looked at her with disgust: "The ten paramitas of Buddhism, how can a person like you who has no roots of wisdom understand it."
Unconvinced, she puffed her mouth, and put the beads in her hand: "What's the matter if you don't understand? Anyway, it's mine, you don't want to take it back!"
With this appearance, he looked like a market bully.
Shaking his head, Jiang Xuanjin sighed, and really didn't try to grab it again.
This Buddhist bead has been hidden by him since he was a child, and he will not give it to anyone easily. But... Now that I have given it all, as long as that person cherishes it, he doesn't have to rush to take it back.
Let's just... treat it as a good deed, he thought.
Bai Meng was imprisoned, and Meng Hengyuan was also imprisoned soon. The father and daughter were both detained in the Yamen awaiting trial. Bai Dezhong didn't intercede with Xu Yan, and went into the palace to seek medicine for Zhuji after finishing what he should do.
As a result, Li Huaiyu, who was "poisoned", raised the quality of herbal meals to a new level, eating and sleeping well every day, and being accompanied by Mr. Ziyang. The injury healed quickly.
After five days, Li Huaiyu was finally able to lie down and rest.
When Jiang Xuanjin went out, she and Lingxiu were left in the south courtyard. This girl Lingxiu talked a lot, sitting on the edge of the bed while giving her medicine and chattering endlessly.
"Miss, it's great to meet you, you don't know, it's been quite lively outside recently, everyone is talking about you and your lord."
Huaiyu ate an orange and smiled: "One is Lord Ziyang who is admired and loved by all officials, and the other is Miss Si who is stupid and despised by others for many years. These two are going to get married. If I am an outsider, I will also discuss it!"
"Not only that, but also about the Meng family." Lingxiu said, "Although we all know that the lord sent the Bai Meng family to the yamen, but they said that this is the king's venting his anger for you!"
This statement is a bit absurd, Huaiyu chuckled: "Does this statement think too much of me, or too much of Ziyang Lord? Our Lord is a remarkable figure, notoriously unkind and businesslike. It has nothing to do with me if he doesn't like the Meng family."
"Inhumane?" Lingxiu was stunned for a moment, remembering the appearance of Jun Shang guarding the young lady's bed a few days ago, she shook her head and said, "He is quite emotional."
"Silly girl. How can you only look at the surface when looking at people?" She shook her head, "Do you know that this emotional person in your mouth killed the apprentice you taught for four years with your own hands?"
"Huh?" Lingxiu stood up in fright.
Huaiyu lifted her chin triumphantly: "Don't you know? That's the real him."
When Jiang Xuanjin taught her etiquette before, Li Huaiyu never took it seriously, causing him to put on a straight face when he saw her. If it wasn't for her identity, she thought, this person would definitely beat her up.
But no matter what, the two of them had four years of mentorship. When she was in a good mood, she would give him some gadgets. When he was in a good mood, he would also teach her how to write calligraphy—even though she hadn't learned it in four years, and the writing became more and more ugly.
The results of it? With such affection, didn't he kill her just because he said he would kill her
Get rid of his uncle's heavy feelings!
Seeing that her young lady's complexion was a little bit bad, Lingxiu hurriedly said: "Your maidservant just said it casually."
Realizing that her face was tense, Huaiyu quickly eased her expression, and said with a smile: "Don't talk about it, you can send a letter to the Lu Mansion for me."
"Okay." Lingxiu obediently took a pen and paper without asking why, and watched her young lady scribble, she couldn't read. I just felt that my lady's ink marks looked different, so I couldn't help but praise her: "Miss is really good at writing!"
After a pause, Huaiyu patted her head with complicated eyes: "It would be great if the person who taught me calligraphy heard what you said."
Jiang Xuanjin never thought that she wrote well, or in other words, she didn't think she was "writing" at all.
After writing a letter, Huaiyu carefully sealed it and asked Lingxiu to take it out.
Jiang Xuanjin used Bai Mengshi to drag Meng Hengyuan into the water, killing two birds with one stone, but she felt that this incident might kill three birds with one stone.
Looking at the Buddhist beads on his wrist, Huaiyu reached out to touch it, his eyes darkened.
…
Jiang Xuanjin left the mansion early in the morning and came back in the evening, and her expression was very bad when she entered the house.
"What's wrong?" Li Huaiyu looked at him curiously and asked, "What happened?"
"Meng Hengyuan bought and sold banned drugs in private, and all the storage places have been found. The evidence is convincing, and he should have been convicted today." Jiang Xuanjin flipped up his robe and sat down beside the bed, quite displeased, "But someone in the court actually protected him."
Collusion between government and businessmen has existed since ancient times, and Li Huaiyu doesn't find it strange. Just ask: "Who is protecting it? Is the official older than you?"
Glancing at her, Jiang Xuanjin said, "Prime Minister Chang Shi, please obey me."
This person is not as senior as him, but the tricky thing is that he happened to be checking him recently. If Li Fengxing was also involved in this case, the situation would be much more complicated.
"Li Changshi, I heard about it!" Huaiyu quickly raised his hand and said, "He is not a good person, he has done a lot of evil!"
Seeing her appearance of complaining, Jiang Xuanjin laughed back angrily: "Where did I hear this rumor? Li Changshi has been an official for many years. Although he has not achieved much, he is still a loyal minister."
"Loyal minister?" Li Huaiyu disapproved, "Who's loyal minister would accept bribes and favor merchants who committed crimes?"
Jiang Xuanjin was taken aback, and frowned at her: "How do you know that he accepted bribes?"
Nonsense, she blocked Li Fengxing's promotion time and time again because this man was too greedy, pretending to be an upright official, but accepting a lot of gold, silver and antiques, using his power for personal gain, is not a good thing at all.
However, this cannot be said to Jiang Xuanjin. Huaiyu smiled, and pulled someone out as a shield: "Shopkeeper Lu said."
Jiang Xuanjin glanced at her: "Do you believe anything Lu Jingxing says?"
"He doesn't need to lie to me, does he?" Huaiyu pouted, "Besides, someone who is a businessman must know more about these behind-the-scenes transactions than you, the emperor who is locked in the court."
As soon as the words fell, the breath of the person next to him became cold again.
I didn't know the reason for Jiang Xuanjin's sudden anger before, it was because she didn't react. But this time, Li Huaiyu reacted very quickly, noticed something was wrong, and immediately made amends:
"However, shopkeeper Lu will be able to know some of these news, which is still far behind Jun Shang's daily management and caring for the world!"
Jiang Xuanjin looked at her coldly.
Huaiyu smirked.
"Even if you put the evidence of Li Fengxing taking bribes in front of me, I can't move him now." He said, "This person is of more important use to me. So now that he is involved, I can neither Meng Hengyuan's case has been submitted, but Meng Hengyuan cannot be directly convicted."
Can't get up and down, and both sides are in a dilemma, this is the most annoying thing.
"What use can he be?" Huaiyu said, "With his ordinary qualifications, he can be replaced by anyone."
"If you can get his official position, can you still get his confession?" Jiang Xuanjin was a little annoyed, "You don't know anything at all, don't make up your mind."
These words were a bit hurtful, and Jiang Xuanjin felt a little regretful almost the moment he said them. However, it was too late to take it back, he pursed his lips, and glanced at the person on the bed with a guilty conscience.
Li Huaiyu suddenly became quiet, his eyes drooped, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and the smile on his face was completely suppressed.
This kind of appearance is actually like a serious lady, but for some reason, he feels his heart tightening, and it's normal to want to hear her chirping.
After coughing twice, he asked her with erratic eyes: "Have you taken your medicine?"
Huaiyu nodded, but said nothing.
"...how about dinner?"
She nodded and remained silent.
Jiang Xuanjin was silent, frowning and thinking for a while, then took an orange from the side, peeled it petal by petal, peeled off the stem, and handed it to her lips.
Li Huaiyu was startled, looked up at him, and saw him pursing his lips and lowering his eyes, and said in a muffled voice, "It's quite sweet."
The anger he had finally feigned almost failed, Huaiyu gritted his teeth, thinking that this person can't keep a dead face? Why are you so cute all of a sudden? Anti-molesting her
Opening her mouth angrily, she took the orange petals away from his hand, she bit them into her mouth angrily, and said inarticulately: "Anyway, I don't know anything, so what are you in a hurry for, forget it!"
Jiang Xuanjin pursed her lips, pondered for a while, and said, "Li Fengxing wrote a statement, testifying that Prime Minister Sima was invited by Princess Danyang at the time of his death."
Huaiyu was taken aback for a moment, almost biting his lips: "What?"
"Do you know Princess Danyang?" he asked.
Nodding blankly, Huaiyu wanted to laugh again, but couldn't laugh anymore: "In the whole Northern Wei Dynasty, who wouldn't know her?"
Not paying attention to her expression, Jiang Xuanjin lowered his eyes and said: "This eldest princess, because of the conclusive evidence of 'murdering Prime Minister Sima Xu', died of the poisoned wine given by the emperor. I sent the poisoned wine. At that time, I thought … She deserved what she deserved.”
"But after she died, I found a lot of things that were wrong. After a little investigation, it became even more wrong. Sima Xu's death seems to have another secret, and the princess's crime seems to have another hidden secret."
He spoke very seriously, as if he was telling an uninformed person about his troubles, his brows were slightly frowned, and his eyes were full of doubts.
"A few days ago, two high-ranking ministers filed a lawsuit against Li Feng, claiming that Li Feng had forged a confession. He was not present that day, so he could not prove that Prime Minister Sima was invited to leave by the eldest princess. So I am collecting more evidence recently, and I want to see Let's see if Li Fengxing is lying."
"...These are the things you don't know."
Li Huaiyu looked at him with absent-minded eyes, and after hearing his last word, turbulent waves arose in his heart and mind.
What's the meaning? Jiang Xuanjin was checking whether she had been wronged? Why check? Wasn't he the one who killed her? Didn't he start arranging the palace banquet and plant Sima Xu's death on her step by step? Why are you saying these things now
At first reaction, Huaiyu felt that he was lying. However, he didn't need to say these words. She is Bai Zhuji, the fourth young lady of the Bai family, not Li Huaiyu, the eldest princess of Danyang, in front of him. He has no reason to lie to her!
So. What he said is true? The embarrassment about Li Fengxing was because he was afraid that if he was involved in Meng Hengyuan's case, it would be much more complicated to investigate other cases? Did he really sense something was wrong, so he wanted to give her justice
Jiang Xuanjin...wasn't she the murderer behind her back
The pupils shrunk slightly, Huaiyu opened his eyes wide, and forgot to even breathe for a while.
"What's wrong?" Seeing her reaction, Jiang Xuanjin's jaw tightened slightly, "You don't believe it?"
"No... I believe it." Taking a breath, Li Huaiyu responded to him, forced a smile, "You told me everything so generously, and you don't worry about me revealing your secret, how can I not believe it?"
Jiang Xuanjin felt that her reaction was a bit strange, but thinking about it, she must have been frightened by his words, so she didn't think much about it. After all, she is a girl who grew up in the boudoir, so she has never heard of these important court affairs.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Xuanjin said, "You must not reveal a word to others about what I told you. Especially Lu Jingxing."
The last six words were a bit fierce, Huaiyu lowered her head and hugged his waist, with a smile in her voice: "Don't worry, you and I will get married next month. You are my wife, and the rest are outsiders. Of course I listen to you."
She hugged her waist, and the soft fragrance of medicine rushed into his arms. Jiang Xuanjin froze and stared at her: "I'm getting married next month, and I'm not married yet, how decent are you hugging me?"
"What is decency?" she said, "I've never heard of it."
After speaking, she hugged him even tighter.
Jiang Xuanjin opened her hands slightly, and sighed helplessly.
"You want to know if Danyang was wronged, why don't you just ask the people around her?" She leaned into his arms and said, "Isn't that faster than starting with Li Fengxing?"
Mentioning this, Jiang Xuanjin said: "You think I haven't thought about it? But the people around her are so tight-lipped that they can't ask."
The reason why he grabbed Qingsi and didn't send it to the yamen was because he wanted to ask about Danyang. But with Qingsi's stubborn temper, no matter how much he asks, she refuses to speak. What can I do
"Can't ask? Then cheat!" Li Huaiyu stood up and asked him with a smile, "Do you want me to teach you how to cheat?"
Seeing the sinister smile on her face, Jiang Xuanjin found it very funny. Then he asked, "What's your opinion, Miss Fourth?"
Lying, cheating, and cheating seem to be the things this Fourth Miss Bai is best at. As soon as she spoke, her eyes were shining.
"Isn't it easy to talk about people? You can catch someone who knows the matter and lock her up. You don't need to ask anything, just lock her up for a few days. When the person is exhausted physically and mentally, and the consciousness is blurred, then find someone to pretend to be the one who went to rescue her, and take the opportunity to rescue her." Routine, can you still get it out?"
As she spoke, she gestured: "Pretend to be a little bit more authentic, and someone will take her out of your territory, so that she will think that she has really escaped. In this way, she will speak with confidence."
I was just asking casually, but I didn't expect that she really had a way, and it sounded pretty good? Jiang Xuanjin was silent, his eyes moved slightly.
Lu Jingxing received the letter from the White House, looked at it a few times, and ordered his servants to go to work.
Huaiyu wanted to take advantage of Meng Hengyuan's matter to tear Li Fengxing's skin off. This is a good idea. It just so happens that Han Xiao and Yun Lanqing are both holding their breath. Let them contribute to this matter, they must be happy .
There is no need for him to play.
I yawned. Shopkeeper Lu lazily lay down on the rocking chair, rocking the Nanyang jade bone fan again and again, intending to sleep soundly like this.
However, not long after, another letter came.
He stretched out his hand to open it sleepily, glanced at it a few times, regained his energy, sat up straight and read all the letter, the expression on his face was not sure whether it was happy or unhappy.
Holding the letter paper, he got up and went to the north courtyard.
There are ten wing rooms side by side in this courtyard. There is a wide open space in front of the house, with wooden figures, weapon racks and archery targets standing. If it is not in his mansion, others will definitely think it is a martial arts gym.
After going to the door of the first wing, Lu Jingxing knocked on the door.
"My lord?" The person who opened the door saw him, slightly surprised, and immediately asked, "Is there another chance to save Miss Qingsi?"
Lu Jingxing smiled lowly, "You're really smart."
The man stepped out of the door, his heroic eyebrows reflected in the moonlight, his eyes were full of seriousness: "Go and wake up the others first."
After finishing speaking, he turned and walked to the corridor. Every time he passed a door, he clasped his hands and knocked, and with one click, the doors of a row of wing rooms opened one after another.
After a while, all ten men stood in front of Lu Jingxing in an orderly manner.
Looking at these ten people, Lu Jingxing was very emotional. These people used to be the heads of the Feiyun Palace, with silk and satin, jade crowns and gold hairpins, they all look like monsters. Unexpectedly, now that they have changed into clean and neat clothes, they are so heroic. It is difficult to connect them with their previous appearance.
"My lord, please tell me." Standing at the front, Jiuwu bowed his hands to him.
Lu Jingxing came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "Qingsi may leave Jiangfu in a few days, and then I have to trouble everyone to take action."
"Okay." Just Wu nodded without even thinking about it, "How to do it, please give me your instructions."
As the night was getting dark, Lu Jingxing lit a lamp and told them Li Huaiyu's plan, and discussed in detail the rescue and retreat routes.
When he finished speaking, Lu Jingxing looked at the ten people and suddenly wanted to tell them that Danyang was still alive.
Some of these ten people were saved by Danyang, some liked Danyang's way of doing things and voluntarily defected, and some even had trouble with their families. So I ran to Feiyun Palace to eat and drink.
No matter how they came to Feiyun Palace, they have all played for Danyang for several years under the name of face head. Danyang treats them very well, and their feelings for her are naturally very deep. To a certain extent, they all They are Danyang's relatives.
If they knew she was still alive, they would be very happy, and the hatred in their eyes would fade a lot.
However... Lu Jingxing sighed. He can't say that this matter is too big, if one more person knows about it, Danyang will be more dangerous, so let's keep it a secret for now.
Just as Wu and the others didn't notice Lu Jingxing's complicated mood, knowing that they had another chance to save Qingsi girl, they were all in a good mood, and after sending Lu Jingxing away, they fought each other in the yard again.
"When Miss Qingsi comes out, let's go and kill the Jiang thief." Someone said in a low voice while practicing.
Glancing at him, Wu shook his head: "Qing Xian, you are just too impatient. How can Jiang Xuanjin be killed so easily?"
Qing Xian said unconvinced: "How do you know if you don't try it?"
"Let's rescue Qingsi girl first." Ji Wu shook his head, "I didn't get such a good time last time. Don't be too optimistic this time."
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Before working for the eldest princess, she also broke into Gaomen's mansion, and was imprisoned in the sky prison, but there is really no place comparable to the guards of Moju in Jiangfu. It is so difficult to save people secretly, let alone go directly to assassinate Ziyang Jun
Thinking about the plan this time, Wu felt that there was nothing wrong with it, but he was inexplicably worried, always feeling as if something was going to happen.
Five days later, his premonition became reality.
Some thieves broke into the Jiangfu and took away a maid covered in blood—they didn't need to inquire about this news, as they could hear people talking about it when they walked around the Jiangfu.
"Just now, I happened to pass by the south courtyard wall. Oh, I was so scared to death, don't be some robbers who rob people?"
"Who can snatch someone from Jiangfu? Seeing that there is no movement in Jiangfu, it's really embarrassing, why don't you look for it?"
"What's the situation? That maid looked really scary, and her clothes were stained red with blood."
Those who surpassed these arguments, Wu led the people and chased them forward.
I don't know how Master Lu did it, Moju is heavily guarded, and he actually managed to get Jiang Xuanjin to bring Miss Qingsi out.
It is much easier to be outside than in Moju. As long as it is successfully intercepted, it will not be difficult to rescue people.
Seeing the shadows of a group of people in the distance, Wu's eyes lit up, and he immediately rushed forward. Ten people came out with their swords together, and there was a sound of clashing iron spears, which made the people in front look back in shock.
"who!"
Who will answer such a stupid question? Just Wu stared at the dying man in their hands, and stepped forward without saying a word. The ten people cooperated tacitly, quickly broke through their obstacles, and took the person over.
"Miss Qingsi? Are you okay?" Jiuwu asked anxiously while guarding against the swords around him.
The person in his arms paused, slowly raised his head and wiped away the hair on his face, and said to him with a smile: "Qingsi is doing very well in Moju." After a pause, he added another address: "Lord Wu."
As soon as his pupils shrank, Wu quickly let go of him, and the horizontal sword stabbed.
Taking advantage of his weakness to dodge his move, he sighed: "I wanted to catch a small fish, but I didn't expect you to bite the hook. If my master sees you, he must be very happy."
As soon as these words came out, the group of guards who pretended to retreat surrounded them again and blocked all ten of them.
Just Wu's face paled instantly.
white house.
Huaiyu was teasing Jiang Xuanjin: "I say a word, can you repeat the first word of that sentence?"
Jiang Xuanjin was indifferent: "Are you in a hurry?"
"Aren't you in a hurry? I've been lying in bed for so many days, and nothing happened." She flattened her mouth aggrievedly, and said, "You play with me! This is so simple, it depends on how fast you react. .”
Turning over a page of the document, Jiang Xuanjin said angrily, "Say it."
Huaiyu grinned and said, "I am the most beautiful girl in the entire Northern Wei Dynasty!"
Jiang Xuanjin: "...?"
"What do you mean by that expression?" Huaiyu stared angrily, "I asked you to repeat the first word, but didn't ask you to admit it!"
Whether you want him to admit it or not, it's quite shameless to say this, okay? With a complicated look at her, Jiang Xuanjin repeated: "Me."
"That's it, answer quickly." Huaiyu laughed and said quickly, "Spring sunshine?"
"spring."
"Autumn fruit?"
"Autumn."
"The person you like?"
"you."
He uttered the words quickly, and only after he finished speaking did he feel that something was wrong. Jiang Xuanjin looked up and saw the person on the bed hugging the quilt and laughing together.
"The person you like is me." She smiled and said, "Remember what I said!"
Realizing that she was deceived again, the veins on Jiang Xuanjin's forehead twitched, and said slightly annoyed: "Shameless!"
Hearing these two words, Li Huaiyu not only didn't get angry, but laughed even more happily, rolling around, and almost fell off the bed.
When Chengxu came in, he saw Fourth Miss Bai hugging the quilt and having fun, while his master was sitting on a chair far away from the bed, he didn't know if he was angry or something, his ears were slightly red.
"Master." Without time to study what happened between the two, Chengxu whispered, "I really caught someone, but there is still more than one."
"Huh?" Jiang Xuanjin raised his eyes.
Chengxu whispered a few words close to his ear, the voice was so low that Huaiyu couldn't hear it even though he had grown ears. After listening, Jiang Xuanjin stood up in a "swipe".
"What's the matter?" she asked quickly.
After giving Chengxu a few instructions, Jiang Xuanjin walked to the bedside and said in a very good mood: "You have done me a favor, but do you have anything you want?"
He was still sullen just now, but suddenly he was so happy, and wanted to give her something? Huaiyu was very surprised and didn't answer his question, but instead asked: "Did the idea I gave you earlier work?"
"It's half done," he said.
Huaiyu was anxious: "Can you speak directly? What do you mean by half?"
Seeing that she was very curious, Jiang Xuanjin explained: "Didn't you teach me to talk to others? I thought about it, and the words of the person I caught are really difficult to talk to. Instead of trying to trick her, it is better to use her to trick others. So I used her as bait to catch the fish that I lost last time."
Li Huaiyu was stunned when he heard this, and his heart sank suddenly.
"Just now I took the opportunity to say that this fish is quite big." Jiang Xuanjin said, "It is also half of your credit."
Huaiyu: "..." She really doesn't want half of the credit.
She wanted to create an opportunity for Lu Jingxing and the others to save Qingsi, but by accident, they actually hurt them? Slightly clenched his fists, Li Huaiyu smiled angrily, is this Lord Ziyang born to be incompatible with her? Otherwise, why did he use the hole she dug to bury her instead
"I want to meet someone who can make you so happy." Containing her anger, Huaiyu put on a look of jealousy, "Didn't you ask me if there is anything I want? Then I want to watch the excitement with you!"
Jiang Xuanjin paused, then frowned: "What's so exciting about this?"
"I don't care!" Huaiyu pretended, "We are a couple who are about to get married, I can't 'know nothing'! From today on, I will know everything you are interested in!"
This arrogant and unreasonable appearance is both hateful and cute. Jiang Xuanjin felt a headache: "You are a girl. Why do you meddle in these things?"
"Who says I'm meddling?" Huaiyu said solemnly with his hips akimbo, "I want to meddle with you!"
"..."
Say a few shameless words, do you think he will soften his heart? Jiang Xuanjin turned around indifferently.
Half an hour later, he carried Bai Zhuji into the carriage.
No, it's not that he is soft-hearted, it's that this person is too noisy, he wants to go alone, she hugs his waist and doesn't let go, she is acting coquettish and pretending to be pitiful, even crying to Yufeng that he crossed the river and demolished the bridge, Rabbit dead dog cooking...
Not to mention what happened when the river demolished the bridge, to be able to call myself a dog is really going all out. If he doesn't take her with him, he seems to be the number one heartbreaker in the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Forget it, Jiang Xuanjin thought, it's not a serious business for mere female family members, so it doesn't hurt to bring them along.
Therefore, Li Huaiyu pretended to be a fool, enjoying Lord Ziyang's embrace all the way, and then was placed behind the screen of the main building. I saw those who were arrested.
As soon as she saw Jiwu, her heart was shocked, and when she saw the neat nine people behind her, Li Huaiyu's eyes went dark, so she didn't faint directly.
How did these people get caught? How could it be caught! Isn't it time to leave Kyoto
Jiang Xuanjin sat on the main seat, and was silent for a while before speaking: "Everyone, are you all safe?"
Just Wu Ke didn't bother to greet him, so he said in a cold voice: "If you want to kill or cut, it's up to you!"
These people, more or less, have had problems with this Lord Ziyang. Lord Ziyang disliked them, and felt that it was absurd for the eldest princess to keep them in the palace. They also disliked Lord Ziyang, thinking that this person was too strict.
In the past, Danyang was there, but Lord Ziyang couldn't do anything to them. Now that Danyang is gone, and they fall into this person's hands again, what good end can they have
The first ten people below are all ready to go to Huangquan to accompany the eldest princess.
However, Jiang Xuanjin didn't want to kill or cut, despite their glaring eyes, his face was calm: "You just need to answer this gentleman's question, and then you can leave here."
Just Wu couldn't believe it, he frowned and said, "What kind of tricks are you playing?"
How could you let them go so easily
"Before questioning. Why don't you listen to my question first and see if you can answer it." Jiang Xuanjin said.
Just Wu frowned: "You say."
Jiang Xuanjin got up, glanced at the ten people in the room, and asked in a deep voice, "Where was Danyang at the time when Sima Xu died?"
Is this what you are asking? Everyone was a little surprised, looked at each other, and fell silent again.
When the eldest princess was questioned, it was because she could not prove that she was not present when the crime happened. She was not there, but she could not say where she had been. Besides, even if you say it, no one will believe it.
"What? Really can't answer?" Jiang Xuanjin frowned impatiently after waiting for a while without hearing a sound.
In the silence, Qing Xian said: "People are dead, why do you ask this?"
Jiang Xuanjin didn't hide anything: "Of course I want to know if Sima Xu was killed by the eldest princess."
"Of course not!" Qing Xian retorted angrily, "Why did she kill Prime Minister Sima! Prime Minister Sima is a good man!"
"Oh?" Jiang Xuanjin looked sideways at him, "Then do you know where she was?"
Qingxian choked, and subconsciously glanced at Jiwu, who looked at Jiang Xuanjin for a while, and said coldly: "Answered, are you really going to let us go?"
"nature."
"Well, I'll tell you." Wu said, "The eldest princess was not at the banquet at the time. She was not in Fulu Palace either, she was..."
bang—
Suddenly there was a loud noise, so frightened that Jiuwu swallowed back the words he was about to say. Everyone was startled, Qiqi Xunsheng looked sideways.
The huge pear-wood double-embroidered screen fell down for some reason, shaking the whole room. Behind the screen is a little girl sitting on a chair. She seemed to be frightened too, blinked blankly, and then smirked at them:
"hey-hey!"
