"You demon king of the world!" King Qin yelled, "Quickly ask King Pingding for your crime!"
But Xin Wen just couldn't speak, even if his fingertips were trembling, he didn't dare to touch Bai Jiu, his face became whiter and paler with anger after being carried so embarrassingly.
"What crime are you asking for?" Bai Jiu said with a smile: "Your Majesty is obedient, he is a rare obedient person in the capital." After saying that, he let go of his hand, and smiled to see Xin Wen slipping on the ground like this, "King Qin has such an obedient son, Don't disappoint the Holy One."
King Qin agreed repeatedly.
When returning home, Xin Yi wanted to thank him, but as soon as Bai Jiu got into the car, he rubbed his forehead and said to him, "I'll take a short rest." After saying that, he put a pillow on Xin Yi's lap, closed his eyes and fell asleep. Xin Yi breathed lightly, seeing that Bai Jiu was facing him, the hostility between his brows was still a little bit lingering.
When the carriage began to sway and move forward, Bai Jiu suddenly grabbed Xin Yi's hand accurately, squeezed his fingertips lightly, and placed his fingers on his forehead. Xin Yi's dimples twirled slightly, his fingertips moved gently, and his ear tips were feverish. Bai Jiu's expression gradually relaxed during his movements. Xin Yi rubbed and rubbed, only to realize that his dimples were deep. Fortunately, Bai Jiu closed his eyes. He wanted to hide it, but he couldn't hold it back. He could only let himself be silent. giggle.
He was smiling, and Bai Jiu said, "What are you laughing at?"
Xin Yi hummed lightly, and said, "I feel comfortable."
"It's so easy to coax." Bai Jiu half-opened his narrow eyes, looked at him and said, "Xin Wen used to be the little overlord in Beijing, but now he is the only heir in the capital, so he is no longer a valuable thing. Since they call you a little Yama, there is no need to be too polite to people."
"Of course you're welcome." Xin Yi twitched the corners of his lips when he said this, and said, "I'm afraid the adults will always clean up the mess."
Bai Jiu turned over, faced the inside, and said, "It's nothing, just walk sideways."
Xin Yi paused slightly, and then gradually smiled. But the smile stopped in his eyes, a little dark, changed the subject, and said: "He experienced this, I'm afraid I still caused trouble for the adults."
"This matter was not intentional, it was probably a temporary idea." Bai Jiu paused, "Don't worry too much."
Xin Yi had something on his mind, the two of them walked back to the mansion without saying anything more.
When taking a bath and undressing at night, Xin Yi folded the robe neatly, and when he turned over the collar, he saw the word "Jing Yuan" lightly and lightly embroidered on it. He thought about it for a long time, but he didn't remember where he heard these two words, so he gave up and rested.
The next day when Xin Yi got up, he heard a puppy humming softly in the yard, so he went to the door to have a look. Elder Qu was feeding a black puppy, the little guy was very energetic, when he saw him show up, he immediately ran to his feet to have fun. Xin Yi squatted down in surprise, touched the little guy's head, and asked, "Does Elder Qu also like keeping dogs?"
Elder Qu just smiled and said: "This is not raised by this old slave, this is the favorite of my son."
After talking about it like this, Xin Yi understood who gave it to him, picked up the dog and said, "Then can you name it, my lord?"
"Just wait for Shizi to give one."
Xin Yi hugged the dog for a while, and said: "Then call it Chi Chi." He laughed for a while before saying: "From now on, going out hunting with Chi Ye will be awesome."
Elder Qu also laughed, and the two of them were chatting when Bai Jiu, who was wearing a silk shirt with a deep border, caught his eye. After Elder Qu stepped back, Xin Yi's dimples sank, and he said first, "Good morning, my lord."
Bai Jiu hummed and reached out her hand. Xin Yi thought that he was going to touch the dog, so he sent the little guy in his arms over, unexpectedly the adult's hand passed over the little dog, and landed on his cheek, saying: "It looks better, I will rub some medicine today." Xin Yi was still a bit dazed, he had already collected his hands and entered the room, "Breakfast."
Qu Lao answered as usual and went to tidy up, only Xin Yi's ears were burning by the door. After cleaning their hands, the two had breakfast on the couch. Bai Jiu served him rice porridge, and Xin Yi thanked him. After eating for a long time, he didn't know why Bai Jiu came so early today. He could only think wildly in his mind, and suddenly remembered the word Jingyuan on his collar last night. He looked up at Bai Jiuzheng's downcast eyes and concentrated on eating, coughed lightly, and tentatively asked in a low voice, "Jingyuan?"
There was no response from the other side, and Xin Yi silently lowered his head and sipped his porridge without even moving his eyelids. After touching it for a while, I heard the opposite said slowly: "What are you doing?"
Xin Yi laughed, and said: "Jing means Su Ye. Yuan means deep. Respecting Yuan, respecting Yuan, respecting Su Boyuan, this word is good."
Bai Jiu handed him the white egg that was peeled off from his hand, wiped his hands with a veil, smiled with downcast eyes, and said, "You solved it well, but it was not my master's original intention." He put the veil aside, lightly Dao: "Respect, be cautious. Yuan, be silent. Be careful in your actions and words. It is to ask me to be respectful and silent, and be loyal to the emperor as a minister."
The case was quiet.
Xin Yi didn't know who Bai Jiu's master was, and there was no such statement in Jingdu. If Bai Jiu hadn't mentioned it now, he wouldn't have known that Bai Jiu also had a master. It's just that these four words of prudence and silence are not like praises for the teacher, but more like warning words.
"Even so..." Xin Yi pinched the egg he had peeled, took a bite and said, "I prefer Jingsu Boyuan. You can tell it's calling you when you hear it, and you like it when you read it."
Bai Jiu snorted and said, "Read it and listen."
"Jing Yuan." The person on the opposite side didn't seem to hear, Xin Yi thought his voice was too low, so he slightly raised his voice, and called again: "Jing Yuan."
Bai Jiu blew on the tea and said, "How do you read it?"
"Oh, that's alright."
"That's what it's called."
Xin Yi was startled, and immediately said: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate, my lord and—"
Bai Jiu put the teacup away, watched him repeat: "That's how it is called."
Xin Yi was speechless, and his face blushed again under his gaze. When I buried my head in eating, my chest was a little tight, and I thought to myself: It's good to call it that... just call it that.
However, he said that what he experienced last night has not been resolved, and Xie Jingsheng went to Dali Temple early this morning. When the horse arrived at the door, he saw He Anchang getting out of the car. Xie Jingsheng twirled his whip, turned the horse's head and came in front of He Anchang.
"You sober up quickly." Xie Jingsheng smiled on the horseback, and raised his chin to He Anchang, "Do you still know who I am?"
He Anchang's official uniform is dignified today, even buttoning it is meticulous, but his face is paler than usual, hearing him like this, he just glanced at him coldly, and stepped forward to go in.
"Hey." Xie Jingsheng twitched his horsewhip, and the horse leisurely straddled He Anchang in front of him. He raised his eyebrows and said, "You are so good at turning your face and denying people. It's amazing to wake up from a dream and leave the past. "
He Anchang's eyes fell on his face, and he said indifferently: "Since you know this, why bother. The old man is like this, so I regret it."
Xie Jingsheng laughed out loud when he heard the words, and said: "Hello, you are very good. I can't tell, He Anchang, you can say such heartless words freely." He leaned over from the horse, and blew flirtatiously at He Anchang's eyebrows , said: "It's a pity that the old people in the past are beautiful and picturesque, and they are both fickle and romantic." After finishing speaking, without waiting for He Anchang to reply, he got off his horse, threw the reins to the waiting people, stepped into the door, and turned his head to the people and said: " Please, Master He."
He Anchang looked cold and followed without saying a word.
The two were led to the main hall, where Dali Temple Minister Zuo Kaizhi was already waiting on the steps. This person is over forty years old, the real heaven is full and the ground is round, and his eyes are tiger eyes.
Xie Jingsheng first cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Master Zuo, don't come here without any harm." Zuo Kaizhi only gave him a cold snort, and turned to He Anchang, which was quite polite. Xie Jingsheng didn't take it seriously, shrugging his shoulders as if he couldn't see it. He was often humiliated by Zuo Kaizhi in the capital before, but now that he has become a feudal official, it doesn't matter much.
He Anchang is also very polite, because he and Zuo Kaizhi are both upright people, and they have a lot of admiration for their work style, so naturally they will not be so bad in handling cases now that they are stalemate.
Zuo Kaizhi didn't have many courtesies, he went straight to the point, first led the two to the morgue to see the corpse. After seeing the corpse, He An asked, "Has anyone seen the corpse?"
Zuo Kaizhi shook his head when he heard the words, and said: "After all, he is a fifth-rank experience, and the He family doesn't want to pass through his hands with a dead body."
He Anchang frowned, but seeing Xie Jingsheng raised his hand to move around the neck of the corpse, he couldn't help asking, "What are you doing?"
Xie Jingsheng only put his five fingers on He Jin's neck, compared it and said: "Earlier, Jing Wei said that this person was strangled to half-death and then pushed into the water and drowned. Pressed and died. If ordinary people do this, I am afraid they will only press the back of the head instead of the neck."
"If the incident happened suddenly, it would be expected that the prisoner would act in a panic." Zuo Kaizhi paced aside, and said, "However, a mere clan mansion has the experience of dealing with certain matters such as the clan's famous attack, so how capable is it?" Will it attract people to attack at the palace banquet?"
"That's why it should have happened suddenly." He Anchang thought: "During the palace banquet, the guards of the capital are more strict than before. If there is resentment for a long time, we shouldn't pick this opportunity. Besides." He said here After a pause, he happened to meet Xie Jingsheng's eyes, and said expressionlessly: "As soon as this case comes out, it seems that the intention is to divert trouble."
The emperor's attitude last night was obvious to all. If Zuo Wing and Bai Jiu hadn't tried their best to investigate this matter clearly, Xin Yi would not be able to escape the scapegoat. If this case was not committed by the leftist party or the Baijiu party, then the intention of the incident will be intriguing. It is precisely because the case intends to take the blame on others that it is even more frightening. Zhang Taiyan and Bai Jiu are at the moment when they are fighting each other, the biggest reason why they don't want to turn against each other because of this matter is because they are afraid that someone will add fuel to the flames and try to make a profit. No one wants to carry this dirty water. He and Xie Jingsheng had to participate in the case at the same time to prove the innocence of all parties and to supervise the other party's methods.
"Although Mr. He is right." Xie Jingsheng smiled, touched the tip of his nose and said: "But I have a different opinion."
Although Zuo Kaizhi disapproved of his debauchery and ruthless behavior, he would never stop him from speaking out and discussing the case because of this. Even if he didn't give a good face, he said: "Please thank you for your advice."
Xie Jingsheng dared not dare to laugh repeatedly and said: "If someone takes the risk and chooses to commit crimes when the wind is tight, it is not impossible. Although this person is just a promise, he often walks in the palace, and the nobles in the palace People have met each other a lot. Besides, my big and small royal bloodlines, don't they have to go through his hand to seize the throne? If I were a clan member, and he caught him as a shady trick, I would do my best to let this People will never open their mouths. As for this family mansion, there are authentic people who help each other. Even if they die, they can't make waves. But after all, it's an official, and there must be someone who is easy to be manipulated into a sheep, so it's easier to wave your hand Get away."
Zuo Kaizhi stopped, and said with heavy brows: "This statement is not bad, although it cannot be determined that it was done by the clan relatives, but it has wiped out the five ranks."
"I don't know if there is any sealed case scroll in Dali Temple that Dali handled before his death. I will look it up later." He Anchang said.
Zuo Kaizhi immediately said: "Please, both of you, the scroll has been placed in the inner hall."
He Anchang flipped through the scrolls one by one, but Xie Jingsheng didn't go with him, he just found an excuse and disappeared. Seeing that he was about to go out, Zuo Kaizhi snorted again, and Xie Jingsheng went without explaining.
Although this scroll is not a long story, it is more complex and numerous. He An often soaked in the inner hall until the evening without taking a break, and finally pulled out the scrolls aside, wrote a few words on the paper with a pen, and only after the candles burning aside were extinguished did he stop.
It was still dark when Xie Jingsheng came back, he took a few scrolls between his hands and entered the inner hall, before he sat down on his seat, he saw He Anchang falling asleep lying on the table.
The scrolls were neatly stacked, but the person was sleeping with a dazed look on his face.
Xie Jingsheng looked at it for a while, then smiled suddenly, with an evil look on his lips. He picked up the brush he had put down, dipped it in the ink, and stroked for a while on the jade-like face, and finally drew a half-opened hibiscus in the corner of his eye. It's just that other people's paintings are Zhuo Qinglian and not demonic, but this one is full of demons from the corner of the eye. Xie Jingsheng gave He Anchang a guilty brow when he finished his pen, and sat on his desk with his knees on his back to stare at him, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that he was painting well.
The more you look at it, the more you feel.
This He Anchang is wrong.
Cold and close to the monster, how come the more you look at it, the more charming it is!
