"Well, I'll keep my lesson in mind and I won't do it again. Thank you, Steward Liu." Qu Yong stood up and bowed.

"Let's go." After that, Liu Qi got up and moved slowly to the front yard, while Qu Yong was walking towards the backyard residence wrapped in wet clothes, with a strange expression on his pale face.

"Hey, Qu Yong, why did you come back? If we don't come back, we will report to the government." Back in the backyard room, several servants who lived with him surrounded him and asked warmly.

"I, I didn't pay attention when I was walking, and I accidentally fell into the puddle." Qu Yong chuckled twice, and wanted to raise the corners of his mouth, but found that his face was frozen.

Wu Quan, the foreman, saw that his lips were turning white from the cold, and said, "Everyone, don't chat with him yet. Qu Yong, go take a hot bath and change into dry clothes, or you will suffer from the cold."

"That's right." Everyone said in unison, and then dispersed.

Qu Yong opened his closet, took a set of clean clothes and walked to the bathroom.When he finished taking a shower and walked into the room, he happened to meet Wu Quan, the foreman, walking towards him holding a bowl of hot noodles.

Seeing Qu Yong coming back, Wu Quan immediately called out: "Butler Liu asked the cook to bring it to you. I met you halfway and brought it for you. Eat it while it's hot."

Qu Yong took the face and quickly thanked him: "Thank you Angkor."

"You're welcome!" Wu Quan laughed heartily twice, and patted Qu Yong on the shoulder: "We are all brothers, we should rest early, and we will be on duty tomorrow."

After Wu Quan finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave, but Qu Yong hesitated for a while, and called out to him: "Angkor, wait."

"What's the matter? Are you in trouble?" Wu Quan turned his head and asked with concern.

Qu Yong scratched his head with one hand, and said embarrassedly: "My daughter will be one year old in the future...I want to ask for a shift...Go back to accompany my wife and daughter..."

"Hey, I thought you were in some serious trouble. It turns out that you just need to transfer shifts. Of course it's okay." Qu Yong usually has an honest and friendly appearance. No matter who asks him for help, he is willing to help. But this honest man likes to bear it by himself when he encounters difficulties, "Xiao Zhou will be free in the mansion in the future, so let him be on duty for you. Anyway, you have helped him so many times before, and he will help you all the time." You should go back, you should go back and spend time with your wife and daughter."

"Thank you Angkor, thank you Angkor." Qu Yong thanked repeatedly.

After bidding farewell to Wu Quan, Qu Yong returned to the room with the noodles in his hands. Most of the people living with him had already fallen asleep, leaving only two candles.Qu Yong walked to his bed lightly, and put the noodles on the small table beside the bed.

His stomach was already rumbling with hunger, but he didn't put down his chopsticks right away, his lower lip, which had regained blood color, was bitten hard by his upper teeth, and he was very preoccupied.

In the dim candlelight, Qu Yong suddenly clenched his fists.

Chapter 14 Encountering a Princess

On the fifteenth day, Xia Qingshu arrested Zhou and Zhao's sons and servants, but Xia Qingshu was not the presiding judge of this case.The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies has great authority and high status, but it manages the military affairs of the DPRK and China. Naturally, a professional yamen is more suitable and reliable for hearing and judging cases.Besides, Xia Qingshu herself was also involved in the incident, she was one of the witnesses that day, let alone be the presiding judge.

Therefore, Xia Qingshu decided to transfer this matter to Yingtianfu Yamen for further trial.Yin Hong Hewang of Yingtian Mansion is Xia Qingshu's father, Yongding Hou, an old friend of Xia Yan. He is upright, an upright official, and not afraid of powerful people.

On the side of Emperor Hongsu, Xia Qingshu had also submitted a letter to the emperor. The memorial was sent to the emperor in person, without going through the cabinet.The emperor was furious when he heard this, and urgently ordered Yin Honghewang of Xuanying Tianfu to enter the palace, and ordered him to strictly investigate.

When the news spread to the people in the capital, it exploded immediately.

Early in the morning, there were people laughing and chatting in the tea shop. Several men in coarse cloth and thick clothes gathered at a table, chatting in full swing.

"I heard that His Majesty the Emperor doesn't like to summon Zhao Ge anymore these days." The man who spoke suddenly lowered his voice: "I think the Zhao family is in danger this time."

"I don't think so. How deep is the water in the officialdom, and the officials protect each other. The Zhao family master lit the firecracker stand, hurt people but didn't kill them, and the crimes are lightly punished..."

The four people sitting around the tea table on the other side of the tea shop were also talking about this matter.

"Have you heard? Zhao Ge went to the general's residence the day before yesterday, but General Xia avoided him."

"Now that Mr. Zhou and Zhao are making such a big commotion, Zhao Ge's old visit to General Xia must be to get away with his grandson. General Xia's disappearance is probably to avoid suspicion."

"I heard that these two people were not very harmonious in the court before. Mr. Zhao Ge attended General Xia's book before the holy car. Could it be that General Xia didn't see him on purpose?"

"Yeah, I've heard about that too."

"It seems that the old lady of the Zhao family was seriously ill the day before yesterday and wanted to see her grandson, so old Zhao Ge came forward."

"Really?"

"Yes, I have a relative who works in Zhao's residence. He said that Mrs. Zhao was worried because her grandson was imprisoned, and she couldn't sleep all night. She had a heart disease and wanted to go to prison to see her grandson."

"Visiting the prison is not in the way of official business."

"That's right, but General Xia avoided Mr. Zhao Ge because he obviously didn't want Mrs. Zhao to meet Mr. Zhao."
