It was supposed to be a beautiful sunny day, but for some reason, it suddenly became gloomy. The wind blows past the storeroom of Tingwei's yamen, making it a bit chilly.
Jiang Xuanjin looked at Liu Yunlie coldly, watched him organize hundreds of yamen, and watched him write the warrant and walk out aggressively.
He and Liu Yunlie met during the Battle of King Qin eight years ago, and they can be called life-and-death friends. This person is upright, and it is easy to be used as a knife - just like now, Li Fengxing's few words can make him so angry that he even shouted his words.
If it were someone else, Jiang Xuanjin would be able to use his status as the emperor to suppress him. But identity is useless to Liu Yunlie, even if the emperor is here today, he will definitely go to Jiangfu.
Qingsi was in the Inkstone Washing Pool, if he caught her, a confrontation today would be unavoidable.
Thinking too much in his heart, Jiang Xuanjin didn't speak all the way. When they arrived at Moju, Liu Yunlie and Li Fengxing couldn't wait to rush in, but they retreated before taking two steps.
"Huh? Why are there so many people?" Someone blinked at them, walked out step by step, and asked in confusion, "Is there something wrong?"
Jiang Xuanjin paused, looked up, and saw Bai Zhuji, dressed in soft satin, with black eyebrows and cheeks, and smiling, blocking the door very dignifiedly.
When Li Fengxing saw her complexion, Liu Yunlie bowed his hands to her politely: "Madam Jun is well, I'll come here to run an errand, if you bother me, please ask Madam Haihan."
His eyes lit up slightly, and Jiang Xuanjin glanced sideways at Chengxu, who understood and backed away quietly.
This is a great opportunity, as long as Bai Zhuji can delay this group of people for a while, she can send Qingsi away before she is caught. In this way, he can save a lot of trouble in the future, and he can also fight against the army.
Survival from nowhere. Touched, Jiang Xuanjin looked up at Bai Zhuji, wanting to give her an encouraging look and ask her to block the door.
However, Bai Zhuji, who was still blocking the door, met his gaze, and ran towards him with a smile!
"Your Majesty!" she called softly.
Jiang Xuanjin's face froze, watching her move the door away, shaking his head at her again and again.
Don't come over, just keep standing at the door!
Completely ignoring his eyes and movements, she ran up to him and asked with great concern: "What's wrong with your neck? Is it uncomfortable? Do you want me to rub it?"
Jiang Xuanjin: "..."
The yacha followed Liu Yunlie and filed in from the door, Li Fengxing looked back at him, smiled and cupped his hands at him, then walked in with his sleeves swaying.
Jiang Xuanjin had a headache, he reached out and rubbed his forehead, looked at the person in front of him and said, "Why don't you understand what I mean?"
"Huh?" Huaiyu was bewildered, "What do you mean?"
"I shook my head to tell you not to come over and hold them back, why are you running faster than anyone else?" He was a little annoyed.
Huaiyu's eyes widened: "As soon as I saw you, I just wanted to run to your side. Who cares about what you mean by shaking your head?"
This love story is spoken with confidence.
Jiang Xuanjin choked, gritted his teeth and looked at her, not knowing whether to be angry or laugh.
"Do you want to eat sweet soup?" She said, "The kitchen brought some over just now, I'll keep it for you."
Saying that, he took his hand regardless and walked towards the main building.
The yamen servants had already begun to search around the Moju, and the place they saw was a mess, Jiang Xuanjin looked at it with an uneasy expression. The person in front seemed to see nothing, pushed him to sit down in the room, and fed him the sweet soup.
"come."
Frowning and glanced, he muffled: "It's too sweet, don't drink it."
Li Huaiyu looked at him in amazement: "You don't even like sweet drinks? Then why does your mouth taste so sweet?"
"..."
How could she say such shameless words so naturally! Jiang Xuanjin was about to die of anger, staring at her, so angry that she forgot for a moment that people were being searched outside, and just wanted to sew her mouth shut with thread!
Huaiyu looked at him with a smile in his eyes for a while, then leaned into his ear and whispered: "Do you know that you are blushing?"
"Shut up."
"It's so red that it's so beautiful, like a sunset glow flying over the top of a snow-capped mountain."
"I tell you to shut up!"
The louder he growled, the more shy and guilty he appeared.
Huaiyu giggled, kissed him on the side of the face, then sat back to his seat, took the sweet soup and drank it by himself, staring at him while drinking, as if thinking about the difference between the sweet soup and his lips. sweeter.
Jiang Xuanjin cursed in a low voice, stretched out her hand to prop her brow bone to cover her eyes, her face was hot for a while.
Not long after, the rummaging outside gradually subsided. Liu Yunlie came into the main room, stood still in front of him and looked at him with frowns.
What should come is still coming, Jiang Xuanjin raised her eyes, already thinking about how to explain Qingsi's matter to him.
However, Liu Yunlie was silent for a while, and what he said was: "This official is reckless, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Um? Jiang Xuanjin was taken aback, and swept behind him, only to see that Li Fengxing's face was ashen, and he didn't say a word. If he caught Qingsi, he would definitely open his mouth to run, but he didn't, it means...
As soon as he stroked his sleeve, Jiang Xuanjin's expression became serious instantly, and he said in a cold voice: "Liu Tingwei has always acted prudently, so how could he be so reckless?"
The tone was both ironic and slightly angry, and the emotions were perfectly controlled.
Li Huaiyu, who was drinking sweet soup next to him, glanced at him appreciatively.
Liu Yunlie was a little embarrassed, bent even lower, and said bravely: "I listen to people's words, and rashly come to the Junshang's mansion to take someone without verification, it is really inappropriate."
If you hold someone, you still have room to speak, but if you don't hold someone, it's a crime. Just now he heard what Li Fengxing said so swearingly, but Ziyang Jun didn't open his mouth to explain, he thought it was a sure thing, but he never thought that it was a fluke.
Thinking of this, Liu Yunlie looked back at Li Fengxing angrily.
Li Fengxing was very wronged, he cupped his hands and said: "The Qingsi was indeed in the hands of the king before, but I don't know where the king hid it."
"Do you have evidence?" Liu Yunlie frowned.
"This... the lower official never lied."
What's the use of empty talk? Tingwei Yamen has always been a place where evidence speaks! Liu Yunlie withdrew his gaze, already very dissatisfied with Li Fengxing in his heart, but right now he had to admit his mistake to Lord Ziyang.
"This matter is Yun Lie's fault." He sighed, "I hope that your lord has a lot."
Jiang Xuanjin snorted coldly, and seemed to be difficult to coax. No matter how Liu Yunlie apologized, he was indifferent.
In the end, Liu Yunlie could only say: "When I go back, I will send all the orphaned Buddhist scriptures in the mansion."
"Okay." He responded quite quickly.
Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, Liu Yunlie quickly took the opportunity and said: "Then the official will resign first."
"My lord, go slowly." Jiang Xuanjin nodded, picked up the people next to her, and sent them to the door together.
Looking at the backs of the group of people walking fast, Huaiyu couldn't help sighing, "It's a good thing they walked fast, otherwise what if they all stayed and drank sweet soup?"
Jiang Xuanjin tilted her head, stared at her for a while and asked, "Where's the person?"
"Who?" She pretended to be stupid.
Turning around to face her, Jiang Xuanjin narrowed his eyes and said, "Except for me in this yard, you are the only one who can make them obey and let go of Qingsi."
"You said Qingsi." Huaiyu was stunned, and then said to Lingxiu who was behind her, "Please bring her back."
please come back What is this saying? Jiang Xuanjin was very puzzled and waited to ask again, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of some blue spots on her neck.
Slightly taken aback, he stretched out his hand and wanted to push her skirts that were tightly packed up.
"What are you doing?" Huaiyu was startled. Immediately raised her hand to cover it, but Jiang Xuanjin's movements were very nimble. One hand clamped both of her hands, pulled towards him, and the other hand quickly stretched out to her neck.
The cyan and purple fingerprints lay across her neck, which was very dazzling.
"What's going on?" He scowled.
Li Huaiyu struggled a few times, and said pitifully, "Standing is so tiring, my feet hurt!"
Holding her in his arms, he frowned: "Say!"
Putting her arms around his neck, Huaiyu said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, I didn't pay attention when I went to persuade Qingsi earlier, she crossed the line and was caught by her."
"Nonsense!" Jiang Xuanjin stepped up and walked into the house, "Didn't I tell you not to cross the line?"
"It's not a loss!" She said as if claiming credit, "I convinced her. Not only did she not kill me, but she felt ashamed of me, and she wouldn't run away when the chain was loosened."
How can this be? Jiang Xuanjin shook his head. Once Qingsi is let go, she will definitely escape, so this fool will believe that she will really stay because of guilt.
After entering the room to find a place to sit down, he placed her on his lap, and then went to check her injury carefully.
Rubbing in his arms, Huaiyu asked happily: "I have done you such a favor, what do you reward me for?"
"You are not helping." Jiang Xuanjin shook his head indifferently.
Huaiyu stared: "What is that?"
Stretching out his hand to caress the marks on her neck, he said coldly, "It's worth it."
He was so courageous that he provoked Qingsi, and almost gave up his own life. This is such a big mistake, and it would be an advantage for her to pay her off so easily!
Huaiyu drooped her brows, clutching the hem of his clothes with her small hands, looking aggrieved.
He pretended not to notice, took the ointment from Yufeng, and applied it to her indifferently. The slender fingers wiped her neck down and down, which was a little cold and soft.
Huaiyu's body trembled, and he subconsciously swallowed his saliva. So Jiang Xuanjin's finger pressing on her throat clearly felt the movement of the finger, and a wave of ups and downs rolled into the depths of the skirt from top to bottom.
His movement of applying the medicine suddenly froze.
"Miss, someone is here!" Lingxiu, who had gone out to invite someone, came back and called out clearly.
Huaiyu was startled, and wanted to get up quickly, but as soon as her feet hit the ground, her waist was grabbed and pushed back by the people behind her.
"Don't move." He scolded in a low voice, his voice a little hoarse. With a close hand, he hugged her back into his arms and pressed her tightly.
Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, Huai Yu glanced at him: "Didn't you say you need to behave? How can you still look decent when you meet people like this?"
With a muffled snort, he said, "I have the final say."
Who did you learn this domineering and arrogant look from? Huaiyu still wanted to tease him, but she leaned back against something, and she froze, her words choked in her throat.
The room suddenly fell silent, and the faces of both of them suddenly turned a little red.
Qingsi followed Lingxiu and stepped into the main house with her eyebrows lowered. She wanted to salute her master, but when she raised her eyes to see the situation in the room, she was stunned.
Two people hugged each other on the soft couch, one turned his head to the left, and the other turned his head to the right, with strange expressions on their faces, and their bodies were still tightly pressed together.
What does it mean? Qingsi frowned, stopped saluting, and just stood and looked at them.
Li Huaiyu coughed lightly, smiled and said to her: "I told the king that you can't run away, but he still doesn't believe it."
Qingsi looked at Mr. Ziyang, her eyes were still unfriendly, but she stood obediently without any other movements.
Jiang Xuanjin turned to look at her: "Have you figured it out?"
Qingsi nodded coldly.
"Why?" Jiang Xuanjin was very puzzled. This was a completely unbelievable thing. After all, this person would rather die than take his life before.
Qingsi glanced at him, then turned her head to look at Li Huaiyu, her eyes softened immediately.
Huaiyu smiled and explained to him: "This girl is kind by nature. You just have to talk to her, how could she not listen? You locked her up earlier and didn't tell her that you wanted to reverse the case for Danyang, and you didn't tell her that you didn't want to. Will kill her, can she not be hostile to you? I explained to her and told her that you are a good person, she believed it, and naturally figured it out!"
Qingsi, who is like a murder tool, is kind in nature? Jiang Xuanjin sneered.
Is Jiang Xuanjin, who helps the evildoers and abuses right and wrong, a good person? Qingsi also sneered.
Caught in the middle of the two sneers, one after the other, he rushed forward. Huaiyu paused, and asked dissatisfied: "Is there something wrong with what I said?"
"No." The two replied in unison.
"That's good." After clapping her hands, Huaiyu looked at Jiang Xuanjin and said, "Since she won't run away or kill you, and is willing to tell you what you want to know, can you leave her alone and let her take a bath and eat?" Have a good night's sleep?"
As soon as these words came out, Cheng Xu next to him was startled: "Madam, no!"
"how?"
"This Qingsi's martial arts skills are extremely high. It would be too dangerous to let her roam around Mojuli without being imprisoned!"
"Who said she was going to wander around?" Huaiyu said, "With such a weak body, it is natural to find a room to recuperate. If you are worried, I will not take the handcuffs."
After a pause, he blinked at the person hugging him again: "Are you okay?"
Soft tone, with a little coquettish.
Jiang Xuanjin said coldly: "Do you think talking like this is useful?"
Chengxu nodded repeatedly, how could such a prudent master of his family be fascinated by women and agree to such a dangerous thing? Even though Qingsi looks very docile in front of her, who knows if she wants everyone to relax their guard. Then look for a chance to assassinate Jun Shang? With His Majesty's wisdom and prudence, he must...
"Handshackles and shackles are not allowed, take advantage of the time, take her down to find a side room, bathe and change clothes and feed some food."
"...?" Before he could finish his thoughts, Chengxu was hit by his master's words and froze in place.
"What?" Seeing that he didn't respond, Jiang Xuanjin turned his head, "Didn't you hear?"
"Listen... I heard it."
"Go ahead and do it when you hear it." He said, "Wait for someone to tidy up before asking questions."
"yes."
Looking at Chengxu's shocked expression, Huaiyu covered her mouth and laughed, her eyes became crescent moons. What is she saying? The beauty trick is really useful, but Lu Jingxing still doesn't believe it!
Everyone in the room withdrew, Li Huaiyu turned around and climbed onto Jiang Xuanjin's body, winking and said: "Do you think that what we said and did just now is just one word?"
"What word?"
"A beauty is a disaster!" She patted her thigh and said, "Jun Ziyang smiled for the beauty, and he wanted to let her let go of the assassin regardless of his own safety—if this gets out, wouldn't I become a Daji Baosi?"
Looking at her carefully, Jiang Xuanjin shook her head: "You think too much."
"Um?"
"Several generations of bewitching girls have been the color of the country. Call it a beauty, and you." After a pause, he said, "It can only be regarded as a disaster."
Huaiyu was stunned. After realizing that he was laughing at her for not being "beautiful" enough, he immediately pinched his chin through gritted teeth, and said viciously: "That's just right, you are a beauty, and I am a disaster. Let's get together It's still a beauty and a disaster!"
After finishing speaking, she hugged him and "get together" with him very hard.
Jiang Xuanjin was a little out of breath from being strangled by her, lightly patted her on the back and said: "Let go, I don't want to die."
"Don't let go!" Huaiyu played a rogue.
There was a smile on the corner of his mouth that he didn't even notice, Jiang Xuanjin let her hug her, after dawdling for a while, he got up, hung her on his body, and took her to the desk together.
Huaiyu grabbed him and looked back: "What are you doing?"
"What else can I do?" Taking out a stack of things, Jiang Xuanjin said, "Return favors for others."
"Favour? For whom?" Li Huaiyu looked curious.
When her body froze, Jiang Xuanjin reached out to support her waist. Look her in the eyes and ask, "Can you put something in your head?"
What I said, I forgot in a blink of an eye
Huaiyu was at a loss.
So angry that she didn't want to hug her anymore, Jiang Xuanjin put her in the chair next to her, turned her head and picked up a pen to start writing.
His calligraphy is excellent, and when he writes, he holds his sleeves in one hand and holds a pen in his hand, with an elegant demeanor and full of talent. Huaiyu stared lewdly at the side for a while, then quickly jumped up to grind the ink for him, peeking at what he wrote by the way.
Jiang Xuanjin didn't avoid her, but let her watch.
"This..." Huaiyu was amazed after he understood what was written in the brochure, "I told you before, didn't you still believe it?"
Jiang Xuanjin gave her a white look: "If you don't believe me, I won't investigate?"
"But you checked too quickly, this matter should be quite troublesome!"
"The witnesses are in the death row, what's the trouble?" Jiang Xuanjin raised his pen and ink, his eyes deep.
Huaiyu hesitated and said: "But recently everyone knows that you are at odds with him, if you play at this time, will people think that you are avenging personal revenge?"
The hand holding the brush paused, Jiang Xuanjin turned her head, and asked her very strangely: "Aren't I avenging my personal revenge?"
Li Huaiyu: "..."
It's over. She felt that the upright and upright Lord Ziyang was beginning to be led astray by her.
The incident of Xu Xian's imprisonment caused an uproar in the court. In the early court, Li Huailin was furious, and Li Fengxing took the opportunity to speak out, denouncing the pillars of the country for being reduced to moths of the country, and then mentioning the drought in Jiangxi, starving thousands of miles to say the crime of corrupt officials. Sonorous and powerful.
Li Huailin nodded again and again, turned his head to the lower right and asked, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Jiang Xuanjin went out calmly and presented a memorial to the emperor.
"The case of General Xu's corruption is full of doubts, and there are no witnesses. It can still be retried after pressure. The case reported by the humble minister can be resolved immediately."
As soon as Li Huailin heard it, he quickly asked someone to bring up the booklet, opened it and read it carefully, and closed his eyes when he closed it.
"Li Aiqing." He asked, "If according to your opinion, Xu Xian is charged with the crime, what punishment should be given?"
Li Fengxing was curious about what booklet Ziyang Lord handed over, and when he heard the emperor asked him, he hurriedly answered, "I treat the people like ants, eat their fat and make themselves fat. No matter how much credit they have made in the past, such a minister should be exiled. He will never be allowed to return to Beijing."
"Oh?" Li Huailin nodded, "That's fair, so let's do it this way, someone—"
"Here!" The imperial guards came out.
"Pick off the black yarn from Prime Minister Shi Lifeng!" He shouted coldly.
"yes!"
Li Fengxing was taken aback, his hands were pushed behind his back, his head felt cold, and he quickly shouted: "Your Majesty! How innocent is this humble minister? How innocent is this humble minister!"
Jiang Xuanjin turned her head and looked at him calmly: "Meng Hengyuan, a drug dealer in prison, accused you of taking 100,000 snowflakes of silver from him. You were corrupt and broke the law. To save his life, you did not hesitate to turn black and white to deceive His Majesty. You are innocent."
"In the sixth year of Daxing, Jiangxi was also hit by a drought. The imperial court allocated 500,000 taels of relief money. You encouraged the envoys at the time to embezzle 200,000 taels of silver, causing starvation and starvation for thousands of miles, and people living in dire straits.
"Most of the merchants in the capital are asked for money by you, and those who don't obey will make things difficult for them to pay tribute. As a courtier, you treat the people like ants and feed on their fat to enrich yourself. This is three crimes."
"These three crimes are listed on the memorial, and the evidence has been submitted to the Tingwei Yamen. If Mr. Li feels wronged, he should try to prove his innocence."
Li Fengxing was dumbfounded as he watched Jiang Xuanjin finish his sentence with wide eyes. He thought Meng Hengyuan's case was over, so why was he still caught by the tail
If he only grabs that one, Li Fengxing will consider himself unlucky, after all, Meng Hengyuan's stick is really unstoppable. But how could Jiang Xuanjin know about the six years of Daxing and the merchants in Beijing and China? How could he know!
Standing in front of him, Jiang Xuanjin seemed to guess what he was thinking, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Liu Tingwei has a good saying: There is no impenetrable wall in this world. As long as something happened, someone will always know. "
Liu Yunlie, who was standing opposite him, took a deep look at Li Fengxing when he heard the words.
The imperial guards grabbed him, intending to drag him out. Li Fengxing's face turned pale, and he shouted with a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged! You must not listen to Lord Ziyang's one-sided words! I have been wronged!"
The shrill voice spread from the entrance of the court hall to the palace gate.
Li Huailin didn't pay attention to him, but lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "The files from now on will be handed over to Liu Aiqing for storage."
Liu Yunlie bowed his hands in response.
When the court was underway, everyone was discussing this matter, Liu Yunlie caught up with Jiang Xuanjin, and said rather puzzledly: "Why didn't you let me finish the trial, but directly reported to His Majesty?"
According to his temperament in the past, in order to seek justice, he would let the Tingwei Yamen give the result before playing. After all, with his position in the emperor's heart, the emperor believed whatever he said. In order to prevent "one word and one word", Jiang Xuanjin seldom directly convicts anyone.
Today the sun came out from the west.
Looking ahead, Jiang Xuanjin said as he walked: "A person like Li Fengxing can speak eloquently with his mouth. Instead of giving him a chance to cover up his criminal evidence, it is better to convict him first and seal up his mansion. Do other things slowly and get twice the result with half the effort.”
This kind of behavior... Liu Yunlie frowned, took a deep look at him and said, "You have changed a lot recently."
"Huh?" Jiang Xuanjin was puzzled, "Why did you say that?"
"It's too domineering and overbearing." It's very much like the former princess Danyang.
Liu Yunlie didn't dare to say the second half of the sentence, but the doubts in his heart became more and more serious.
Jiang Xuanjin shook his head, he didn't want to argue with him on this matter, he just said: "Remember to send the lonely copy to my house earlier."
The back, as delicate as a jade pine, turned around and went out of the palace gate.
Liu Yunlie stood there watching with a complicated expression, and after thinking about it, he decided to go to Tingwei Yamen to check the evidence of Li Fengxing's case.
The dignified prime minister, Chang Shi, was suddenly imprisoned in an early court, and Li's mansion was sealed up in an instant, which undoubtedly made many officials panic. Not only fearing the seriousness of the crime of corruption, but also fearing the weight of Lord Ziyang's words.
The reason why Li Fengxing dared to provoke Jiang Xuanjin many times before was because he felt that with his fair and self-restraining temperament, even if he offended him, he would not avenge his personal revenge publicly, but would only argue with him—this is the demeanor that a gentleman should have, and it is also the most important thing for a villain. A good loophole.
You gentleman must be polite, understand the law, and behave frankly, but villains don't. As long as it can achieve the purpose. The villain does everything he can. In the dispute between a gentleman and a villain, the villain has always had the upper hand. Even if the literati always write something like "the gentleman is open and honest, and the villain is more concerned", it will not change the fact that the villain in the world is more proud.
However, he did not expect that Jiang Xuanjin would not want this kind of demeanor, no longer dealing with him head-on, but silently collected evidence of his corruption, and once he reported it, it would directly make him fall into the sky.
It was simply caught off guard and helpless!
Standing in the prison, Li Fengxing's face was full of grief, but what he still couldn't figure out was—how did Jiang Xuanjin know about his previous crimes
Qingsi stood quietly in Moju's main house, her hands and feet were still in shackles, but she had changed into a maid's dress, and her messy hair was also combed into a bun.
"What else do you know?" Jiang Xuanjin looked at her deeply and asked.
I thought this person was using tricks to win Bai Zhuji's sympathy, and he had evil intentions. However, regarding Li Fengxing's incident, she actually took the initiative to provide him with a crime, and today, it seems that those things are useful, Li Fengxing's panic, proved that those things really happened.
only. He hadn't even heard the slightest bit of wind before.
"What else do you want to know?" Qingsi asked indifferently.
Concentrating, Jiang Xuanjin said: "I want to know too much, why don't you tell me first, why do you know Li Fengxing so well?"
Qingsi paused, and from the corner of her eye she secretly looked at the person on the soft couch next to her.
Li Huaiyu was holding a cup of melon seeds, and was clicking like a squirrel, with a relaxed expression and a happy mood, as if he didn't pay attention to what they were talking about.
So Qingsi said bluntly: "Your Majesty should know that the Eldest Princess likes to travel outside the palace."
When mentioning this matter, Jiang Xuanjin sneered: "That's called a gangster."
Qingsi pretended not to hear, and continued: "During the sixth year of Daxing, she met many refugees on the streets of Jingdu. After asking, she found out that they were people who had left their homes due to the drought in Jiangxi. The food funds for disaster relief in Jiangxi have been distributed, but there are still refugees All over the place, His Highness was naturally angry and asked why, and some people sued Chijieshi and Li Fengxing."
There is no direct evidence for the refugee's dictation. Even if the eldest princess knew that Li Fengxing was deceiving others, she would have nothing to do with him. only after that. She began to target Li Fengxing, and often troubled him elsewhere, which resulted in him being unable to increase his annual salary no matter how many political achievements he had.
That's why Li Fengxing hated the eldest princess.
Jiang Xuanjin was a little stunned when he heard that: "The merchants in Beijing..."
"Treasurer Lu is a close friend of the eldest princess. He was a businessman in Beijing. He has seen all the affairs in the officialdom, and he has lost several opportunities to pay tribute because of not taking bribes." Qingsi said, "He knows what Li Fengxing has done better than anyone else. It's just...he can't sue."
As a businessman, even if you are the richest man in the world, you are no match for the black yarn on your head. Strictly follow, he must take all his wealth and half his life. Lu Jingxing would not do this kind of loss-making business. If he didn't tell, the eldest princess would naturally not drag him into the water, and could only find other ways to help them solve it.
Jiang Xuanjin listened in silence, her brows gradually furrowed.
Will Danyang care about the sufferings of the people? Will there be good and evil? She has been targeting Li Fengxing, not because of willfulness, but because Li Fengxing himself is not a good person? It was different from what he knew.
The good guy he always thought of is now a bad guy, so what about the bad guy he always thought of? Could it be that he is really a good person
He seemed to vaguely know the answer, but he wasn't sure, and his whole body couldn't help becoming anxious.
Li Huaiyu, who was knocking on melon seeds, stopped suddenly. After looking at him twice, he got off the soft couch and ran to his side bouncingly, stretching out his fist straight to him.
"What?" He frowned.
With a grin, Huaiyu turned his fists open, and there was a pile of peeled melon seeds lying in his palm.
Jiang Xuanjin was startled.
After twisting one and stuffing it to him, Huaiyu smiled and said, "Do you want to taste it?"
He chewed it in his mouth, and there was a clear smell of herbal tea. He frowned, but he gave her an angry look: "I kowtowed for a long time, and it was all for me?"
"En!" Nodding vigorously, Huaiyu stuffed the melon seeds into his mouth one by one, and then asked, "Do you know why?"
Why else? It is expected that she will say something like "I like you" and "I want to give you all the delicious melon seeds". Jiang Xuanjin squinted at her, disgusted.
However, the man came close to his ear and said with a smile: "You look so good when you are serious! I want to kiss you, but I am too embarrassed in front of people, so I kiss the melon seeds, and the melon seeds will not kiss you again." kiss you!"
The chewing movement froze suddenly, and Jiang Xuanjin paused. She swallowed the melon seeds in her mouth and neither spit nor spit them out, she could only raise her eyes and stare fixedly at her, a smear of red crept up on her neck.
"Hahaha—" Seeing his reaction, Huaiyu laughed loudly, leaning forward and backward while leaning on the desk.
Qingsi raised her head in shock, and saw her Highness smiling heartily on one side, and Lord Ziyang on the other side blushing with annoyance, the atmosphere in the room was harmonious and ambiguous, it seemed redundant to anyone beside her.
Aren't these two people incompatible before
Since the day Ziyangjun became an official, he didn't like to see the eldest princess very much. At first, the eldest princess liked to talk to him, but after finding out that he was not friendly, the two became enemies. The princess even died at the hands of Lord Ziyang.
But what's going on now? It's all for His Highness to use the dead body to revive the soul, but why even Lord Ziyang seems to be a different person, even blushing and becoming angry from embarrassment
Blinking and blinking again, Qingsi shook her head in shock.
"You go out first." Huaiyu laughed enough, turned to her and said, "I asked Lingxiu to boil medicine for you. You should rest after drinking."
"Yes." She lowered her head and retracted her expression, and retreated like a sleepwalking with blue hair.
Jiang Xuanjin looked at Qingsi's back, slightly puzzled: "How did you convince her?"
Huaiyu paused, noticing that he was suspicious, she quickly turned her head and blinked innocently: "That's how I persuaded you, someone was there at the time, you can ask someone. I don't know why she listened to me , Xu felt guilty for almost killing me, after all, I am as beautiful as a flower, as beautiful as a jade, and as beautiful as a fairy..."
"Enough." Jiang Xuanjin interrupted her, rubbing her eyebrows in disbelief.
Huaiyu took his hand with a smile: "Are you free now? Come with me to see flowers?"
"No." He shook his head, "There will be guests coming later."
guest? Huaiyu didn't understand, but he didn't ask any more questions, just said "I'll see by myself", and then ran out and squatted in the corner to watch.
Half an hour later, someone wearing a dark black cloak and a hat covering his entire head sneaked into the main building of Moju, stayed for an hour, and left with a bag of things.
Huaiyu frowned. Curious like a cat scratching my heart.
At night, when they went to bed, they still hugged each other shamelessly, but the person beside him seemed preoccupied and didn't pay much attention to her.
Huaiyu pouted unhappily: "I've only been married for a few days, and I fell out of favor?"
Jiang Xuanjin regained consciousness, and asked blankly: "What fell out of favor?"
"You don't pay any attention to me!" Huaiyu leaned on his chest and looked at him eagerly and said, "I'm going back tomorrow, and you don't ask me about the rules of the Bai family?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuanjin glanced at her: "Do you know the rules of the Bai family?"
"Uh..." Realizing that he didn't know much about this, Huaiyu crawled back onto his pillow resentfully, "Just pretend I didn't say anything."
Reaching out to take her back into his arms, Jiang Xuanjin closed his eyes and said, "Tomorrow, just follow me."
Why don't you follow him? It's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree! Thinking of the group of difficult aunts in the Bai family, Huaiyu pouted. She still remembers the accounts on the day of the wedding, so let's see how they justify themselves when they go back this time.
Going back home is an important matter, and none of the Jiang family dared to neglect it. They prepared the carriage and gifts for them early in the morning. Jiang Shen pulled Jiang Xuanjin with tears in his eyes and said, "This journey is extremely difficult and difficult. Third brother You must take care!"
He said it as if he was going up the knife mountain and down the oil pan.
Jiang Xuanjin looked at him expressionlessly and said, "The selection of an official is coming soon, so take care of yourself, second brother."
Jiang Shen: "..."
After watching the quarrel between the Jiang family brothers amusedly, Huaiyu stretched out his hand and pulled Jiang Xuanjin into the carriage, and set foot on the way back to the door.
Didn't have a good rest last night, Jiang Xuanjin was a little sleepy, leaned on the carriage with his eyes closed, and was shaken so much that he almost hit the wall next to him.
Huaiyu was amused by the sight, she stretched out her hand and hooked his neck around, letting him rest on her lap.
"Somewhat familiar." He murmured.
Huaiyu patted his body with a smile: "Isn't it a little familiar? When we first met, you also lay on my lap to rest like this."
The corner of his mouth twitched, Jiang Xuanjin opened a pair of dark eyes, and looked at her silently.
"Okay." Huaiyu corrected his words and restored the facts: "I forced you into my arms."
With a soft snort, Jiang Xuanjin said, "Misbehavior."
"Why did I misbehave?" Huaiyu objected, "Didn't I love you back then?"
"It's clear that we just met."
"What's the matter when we just met?" She said, "When I saw you, I thought you looked like my future husband, so I started to feel distressed in advance, can't I?"
Strong words! Jiang Xuanjin shook her head and slowly closed her eyes, feeling confused in her heart.
Why on earth was this person pestering him from the beginning
The carriage swayed slowly for an hour before arriving at Baifu. Before getting off the carriage, Li Huaiyu was ready to continue to face the cold faces of those people.
However, after getting off the car, she saw a group of flowers at the gate of Baifu—a group of people, all smiling like flowers.
Headed by Bai Liang, a group of members of the Bai family swept away the previous meanness, and saw them laughing and saluting, which made Li Huaiyu look at the plaque at the door twice more in disbelief.
It's the White House, right
"De Zhong is already waiting in the main hall." Mrs. Bai Liang came up to meet him, and said kindly, "Go in quickly!"
After glancing at her, Li Huaiyu grabbed Jiang Xuanjin's sleeve and followed him inside.
Red silk is hung everywhere in the White Mansion, there is dust-washing tea at the entrance, and the servants and maids salute and shout "Hello, young master" after walking two steps, the atmosphere is quite harmonious.
Huaiyu looked left and right, let out a soft "hey", and muttered softly, "Have you changed your mind?"
Jiang Xuanjin didn't say a word, walked into the main hall with her, and bowed to Bai De first.
I haven't seen him for two days, and Bai Dezhong seems to be haggard again, but his back is still as straight as a board, and there is no mistake in his demeanor. After returning the gift with Jiang Xuanjin, he first asked her: "Have you followed the rules?"
Li Huaiyu said without hesitation: "I've kept it! I'll show my filial piety and show my courtesy, and everyone in the Jiang family will unanimously appreciate it!"
Jiang Xuanjin glanced at her, despising this kind of lie that came out of her mouth very much.
Bai Dezhong's eyes were full of worry, and he looked at him again and asked, "Is the little girl still being considerate?"
Jiang Xuanjin calmed down and replied: "Thoughtful and well-proportioned, everyone in the whole house admires it."
As soon as the words came out, the people next to him glanced at him, and the contempt in their eyes was stronger than his just now.
Jiang Xuanjin gritted her teeth secretly, wondering if she didn't want to worry the elders, who would say something about such a scene that violates conscience
Bai De nodded emphatically, he finally seemed relieved, asked some more questions, and then waved his hand to pass on the meal to the servant. The members of the Bai family sat at the table one by one, without any moths coming out, and finished their lunch smoothly.
After the meal, Jiang Xuanjin went to talk to his uncles, while Li Huaiyu was surrounded by Bai Liang and others to the gazebo.
"Look. Married girls are different, their eyebrows and eyes are opened." Bai Liu made fun of her when she came up.
Li Huaiyu looked at her expressionlessly.
Smiling and laughing, unable to stop laughing, Mrs. Bai Liu coughed lightly, and looked at Mrs. Bai Liang next to her. Bai Liang pursed her lips, lowered her eyebrows and said pleasantly: "We are all one family, and any misunderstandings before have been resolved..."
"Who went with you?" Huaiyu raised an eyebrow and asked, "Am I such a magnanimous person?"
Bai Liang choked, and said in embarrassment: "If you are still angry, then we all apologize to you. We were impulsive on the wedding day, and we didn't do it right. We elders were all wrong."
"That's right." Bai Liu said in a low voice, "Didn't Your Majesty let us into your natal banquet later?"
Jiang Xuanjin didn't let them into her natal table? Huaiyu was taken aback for a moment, then blinked. She didn't know about it, no one had mentioned it to her, and she was so happy to see Huai Lin, and she didn't know whether the Bai family had gone or where they were sitting.
However, Mrs. Bai Liang didn't continue to talk about this, but pinched the handkerchief and murmured: "After all, we are also elders. Can you really argue with the elders?"
"What are you fussing about? Zhuji won't be so ignorant." An aunt next to her opened her mouth and answered for her, leaving no room for her.
Li Huaiyu yawned when he sang in unison.
"Is there something you want to ask me?" She asked impatiently.
Several people looked at each other with unnatural expressions. It was Bai Liu who spoke first: "You are well married. You are married to Mr. Ziyang. He is the most powerful person in the court. I heard that he sent the Prime Minister Changshi to prison with a single sentence yesterday. He is the most trusted person of the emperor." it's him."
"Yeah, the others are useless, but his words are worth a thousand gold!"
After praising people for a long time, after a long circle, Bailiang finally said: "Among the juniors in our family, Fusheng and Qilin have reached the age of starting a family. But they don't have any official positions, and it's not nice for a matchmaker to say that they are a matchmaker." You are Mrs. Jun, go and talk to Lord Ziyang for your two older brothers, and ask him to seek two official positions."
The tone was so relaxed, as if an official position was in a steamed stuffed bun shop.
Li Huaiyu thought it was funny: "It's not easy to get an official position? The imperial court will soon select an official. Go and apply for a name. Will you get it if you take the test?"
Bai Liang frowned: "Where are your two older brothers qualified for the official examination? If they can pass the examination, we won't beg you."
"It's useless to beg me." Huaiyu spread her hands. "Mr. Ziyang is famous for being upright and respectful in the imperial court. You let him do this kind of thing of using power for personal gain?"
Wei Wei was a little annoyed, Bai Liang said: "Everything can be accommodated, he is also the son-in-law of our Bai Mansion, what's the matter with finding an official position for his family? It's just a matter of letting him go!"
"Whatever he can do with a word, he must do it for you?" After digging his ears, Huaiyu smiled, "Don't you think highly of yourself? Did you help him or save him? Fate? Is it possible that because of relatives, you can shamelessly ask others?"
These words were so straightforward that they couldn't sit still for a while, so Bai Liang slapped the table in a rage: "Bai Zhuji, so many of us beg you in a low voice, and you still put your nose on your face?"
After touching his nose and then his face, Li Huaiyu leaned against the railing and smiled: "Yes, what can you do to me?"
The arrogant tone made everyone in the gazebo anxious. Bai Liu opened his mouth and said: "Don't think that you can sit back and relax by marrying Mr. Ziyang. What nasty things have you done yourself, and you still don't know in your heart? If you are in a hurry, you will tear your face, we are not good, so don't think about it! "
This is a bit inexplicable. Huaiyu lowered his head and thought for a long time: "What have I done?"
With a sneer, Bai Liang said, "How did you get the thirty-six loads of dowry on the day you got married? Do you really think no one knows?"
The person who gave the dowry was careful and asked the people from the Bai Mansion to carry it, but the servants of the Bai Mansion were not without eyes and mouths, and they would definitely say something when they saw something.
Huaiyu paused, took a deep look at the group of people, then stood up and patted her skirt.
"Let's go," she said.
Everyone didn't understand, so Bai Liu frowned and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Where else can I go, go to my father, don't you want to talk about my dowry?" Huaiyu raised her eyebrows, "What's the point of talking here? Just go and judge in front of the head of the family."
These people who were aggressive just now, when they heard this, they immediately turned off, dawdling, and no one was willing to move.
There are also twelve loads of dowry, which are hidden in Bailiang's yard...
Looking at them coldly, Huaiyu shook her head secretly, thinking that it was Bai Zhuji's bad luck for eight lifetimes to have such a group of relatives.
I have said it, and the scaring is over. Li Huaiyu thought this matter could be turned around like this, right
However, it turned out that she was too naive.
In the afternoon, we set off to return to Jiangfu. Jiang Xuanjin and her were saying goodbye to Bai Dezhong by the side of the car. Seeing that they were about to get in the car and leave, Bai Liang suddenly came up to Jiang Xuanjin and said, "Your Majesty, you must take a closer look at Zhuji, my lord." You are rushing to get her! Shopkeeper Lu even added thirty-six loads of dowry to her, I'm afraid you will treat her badly!"
These words resounded carelessly at the gate of the Bai Mansion, and the surroundings became silent for a moment.
Lu Jingxing, the richest businessman in Kyoto, added a dowry to Bai Zhuji, the fourth young lady who married next door, and added thirty-six loads of dowry. What's the situation
Bai Dezhong immediately scolded Bai Liang to back down, Li Huaiyu also sullen, turned to look at her with dark eyes.
Bai Liang smiled so proudly that he didn't even care about being yelled at by Bai Dezhong in public. He just stood on tiptoe holding his handkerchief, and looked at Jiang Xuanjin beside the car with an expression of watching the show.
It was impossible for Jiang Xuanjin not to hear such a loud voice. As the king, what would he think of this lady who had a dowry from another man
Are you annoyed? Still ashamed? Everyone was a little curious.
Sensing the burning gaze behind her, Jiang Xuanjin slowly turned around, her black eyes glanced at Bai Liang, and then looked at the angry person next to her.
Li Huaiyu was also looking at him, there was no panic in his eyes, only anxiety, as if he was afraid that he would be fooled by others, and he was clasping his hands and wanted to open his mouth to explain to him.
However, before the words came out, he stretched out his hand and pressed them back into his throat.
The slender fingers pressed her lips and stroked them lightly. The man in front of him softened his eyes, looked into her eyes seriously and sincerely and said:
"I'll be nice to her."
