Prime Minister Chasing Her Husband

Xie Xuan went out in person, saw Li Zhiyuan getting off the prison car, looked at him aggrievedly, wished he could rush over to hug him, so as to comfort him.But at this time, he could only exchange a glance with Li Heng, and then notify someone to come and settle him down.He personally sent Li Heng and Li Zhiyuan to the two "luxury" cells.

The two rooms were not together, so Xie Xuan naturally sent Li Heng there first. "Some time ago, a fire broke out in the Dali Temple cell, and a lot of it was burned here. Now these two are still good. Uncle Li, please be patient. My child will definitely find out the facts and give you justice."

"These are already very good, don't need to be so troublesome, this matter is my negligence, and the emperor deserves punishment. It was Mr. Li who interceded and was imprisoned under your command. You can still have such conditions. Don't worry, I can bear it." It's just that Xiao Yuan has never seen such a big battle. He was born in rich clothes and well-fed, and has never suffered such grievances. I'm afraid he will lose his temper."

"It doesn't matter. I'll watch over Xiaoyuan. Don't worry, Uncle Li. You can stay here for now. If the charcoal fire isn't enough, ask someone to add more. I'll send some food over later." Xie Xuan said. Then he went to the other side to see Li Zhiyuan.

The prison was gloomy and cold, and Li Zhiyuan was sitting by the bed to warm himself by the fire.Xie Xuan went to sit beside him, hugged him with one arm, before he could speak, he heard Li Zhiyuan say: "Why are your hands colder than mine, come here and warm them."

Xie Xuan held Li Zhiyuan's hand in his backhand, and said to him: "Don't be afraid, it's just here temporarily."

Li Zhiyuan pretended to be relaxed and said: "I'm not afraid. Isn't this Dali Temple? What should I be afraid of where you and Brother Li are? Anyway, I didn't do anything. Is it possible that Mr. Xie wants to torture you?"

"No seriousness." Xie Xuan touched his face, knowing that he was pretending to be forced, and couldn't bear to expose him, "I dare not beat you up, but I will always ask you a question when you come in, and then you just talk about yourself. That’s what you know. But Xiaoyuan, the Temple Ministry is the most responsible for the sacrifice, you..."

"What are you, don't worry, I really didn't do this thing. If someone is deliberately trying to harm the emperor, how can I, a newly appointed young man, stop me? Besides, if there is something wrong with our things, then we have to If you continue to ask questions one after another, you will be punished for the crime of negligence. After all, my ambition is not here. If I lose my official position this time, at most, I will not be in the officialdom. If I plan for the worst, I will end up messing around in your house Wait until you die, you are a fourth-rank Beijing official, and with the business in Mingde Square, you can't afford to support me." Li Zhiyuan shook Xie Xuan's hand, then blinked and asked him: " Thank you, sir, may I ask if I can eat rice in your home for two years?"

Li Zhiyuan's appearance made Xie Xuan feel very distressed. His monkey still wanted to comfort her at this time. Thinking about when he was imprisoned in his last life, he suddenly understood why Li Zhiyuan was so sad. It's almost painful right now.

"Thank you Xuan."

"Ah."

"In case, I'm just saying in case, if this matter becomes serious, Long Yan will be furious, and blame him, can you save my father first? The sacrifice is mainly a matter of our ancestral hall."

"Don't think about it." Xie Xuan immediately blackened his face and said sternly, "Longyan is furious. What is angry is that someone wanted to kill the king and accidentally injured the queen. You are just careless in employing people and letting traitors get in. It's okay, at most It is a crime of negligence. Since the emperor can lock you up in Dali Temple, it means that the emperor believes that we can find out the truth and return your innocence. The emperor believes in us, and you have to believe it. Don't think about it, live well, I am now Go out to investigate the case, and come to accompany you later. Let someone buy pastries, and you can eat more later. "

Coming out of the prison, Xie Xuan led a team directly to the high priest's other courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing. Two guards stood at the door, and after seeing the documents Xie Xuan took out, they consciously stepped aside.Someone at the door sent a message to the backyard, and after a while, an old steward came to see Xie Xuan.

"I've seen my lord, but I don't know why my lord brought such a large army here today?" The old man saluted Xie Xuan tremblingly.

"Your master committed a crime, and is now being detained in Dali Temple. I just came here today to ask questions as usual. Are you in charge of the house?"

"Exactly." The old man replied, "My lord, I am the housekeeper of the house. How dare I ask what crime my master committed to be sent to Dali Temple?"

"What you committed is confidential, you don't need to know, you just need to remember that you can answer honestly the questions I ask you." After finishing speaking, he unfolded the search documents with the official seal and put them in front of the housekeeper, "The emperor personally decreed that this case should be in charge of the Dali Temple. This is a document with the official seal of the secretary of the Dali Temple. This official can use this document to search this other courtyard, and no one can stop it."

"Yes, the villain talks too much. If the adult wants to search, just search. If the adult has a problem, the villain will know everything." The old housekeeper was terrified.

"Come on, search this mansion for me, and find out everything that looks like a pill." Xie Xuan ordered the entourage brought to him, and a group of people took orders to act quickly.After finishing speaking, he said to the butler: "Take out the roster of the mansion, and by the way, call me all the people in the mansion, whether they are masters or servants."

The butler took orders, and some people came to the main hall one after another. The butler presented this booklet and said, "Return to your lord, this is the roster of the mansion. Except for the high priest, there are only 15 domestic slaves left in the mansion. A servant, two gardeners, four cooks, four servant girls, and the villain are all here, please take a look."

Xie Xuan took the roster, flipped through it one by one, and asked: "The high priest has been out of this other courtyard for two years, has the personnel on this roster changed?"

"My lord, the servants, and the cook were all brought over from the old mansion. Only the four maids were newly bought when the mansion was built. They have been serving in the mansion for two years. There has been no change in personnel during this time."

"There has never been a mistress in this other courtyard? When I was in the old mansion, I heard from my wife that your master is not a womanizer. Why, is he not here today?"

"My lord has clearly noticed that when the master moved out in the past, it was indeed for the lady in the suburbs of Beijing, but that lady left in less than half a year, and there has been no female steward in this room since then, all the big and small affairs were watched by villains. Let the priest decide. Even if you occasionally bring some people back, they won’t be able to stay for a few days, and you won’t be able to be the master of this house.”

"Then when was the last time your lord brought someone back?" Xie Xuan asked while looking through the roster.

"The most recent time. My lord brought a woman back four days ago, stayed for three days, and left this morning." The butler thought for a while and replied.

"This morning? Butler, do you know who that woman is? When she left, did she say where she was going, and did she say whether she would come back?"

"Returning to my lord, that woman seems to be Li Yuan's oiran. The master asked us to call her Miss Chunxiao. The girl was very handsome. She was brought back by the lord after having a banquet a few days ago. I don't know who introduced her. Miss Chunxiao When I left today, I said that the master only booked for a few days, so I have to go back."

"Okay." Xie Xuan thought for a moment, then recalled a few people and followed him to Liyuan.

It is not the first time Xie Xuan has come to Li Garden on Liudi Street, but when he came here a few years ago, it was not called this name. At that time, the whole area was still under the name of Lu Tan's uncle, and it was the largest garden in Kyoto. The land of wind and moon.But everything is damaged, once the Ninghou Mansion is killed, this lot has become someone else's cup of tea overnight.

It was still early at this time, and there were only a few young masters who had just sobered up to go out. There were no visitors, and there were only a few guards at the door.

Xie Xuan didn't get off his horse, he pulled the reins with one hand and a search warrant with the other, and said, "Dali Temple has been ordered to investigate the case, and ask your stewards to bring Miss Chunxiao out."

Seeing this, several people looked left and right, hesitated for a moment, and then one of them had to go in to report. From time to time, a woman who still had a charm came out of the door. She had just packed her clothes, but the top button of her collar was unbuttoned, and her hair was in a bun. Dispersed, he made a blessing in front of Xie Xuan's horse, and said: "I don't know if your lord is coming, but I'm far away to welcome you. This Liyuan has always been a well-behaved business, and the taxes that should be paid are quite a lot. I don't know how to alarm you." My lord, let my lord bring this group of people over to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, I'm frightening this slave."

"Old mother, I don't ask whether the business in your shop is in order, and I don't care whether the taxes are paid in full. I only ask you, the girl Chunxiao who returned home with the high priest a few days ago is from your garden?"

"Yes, yes." The woman said, "Don't dare to lie, it's true. A few days ago, the high priest and some friends came to this garden to have tea. Chunxiao knew how to win people's hearts and please the adults, so the adults gave some money. Yin, took the girl back. It is also because the priest has a high position, and the servant is willing to let Chunxiao pass by for a few days, and that little girl is the tabletop in the slave garden."

Xie Xuan didn't listen to her chatter, and said again: "I want to ask you, is Chun Xiao back today? I asked you to bring him out, why didn't you bring him?"

"Responding to my lord, Chunxiao has not returned. The high priest gave money for ten days, and Chunxiao has only passed four days. Besides, when the days are full, the garden will send sedan chairs to pick them up. The sedan chairs in our garden Husband doesn't go to work until after noon, where can someone pick her up at this hour."

"You mean she's not in this garden?" Xie Xuan asked her sharply. Just as he was about to get angry and asked to be searched, a person came up behind him and whispered a few words in his ear. After thinking for a moment, he looked behind him. Humane said, "Come here, seal up Liyuan, and take this mother back to Dali Temple. The rest of the people are not allowed to go out and wait to be punished."

The woman's legs were so frightened that she twisted and said: "My lord, my lord, this slave is innocent, my lord, you can't lock this slave, my lord."
