Prime Minister Chasing Her Husband

The little envoy knelt on the ground, trembling slightly, seemed very nervous, lowered his head and did not look at Xie Xuan, and said straightly: "My lord, my lord is clearly aware, my lord, my lord, I don't know what crime I have committed." His voice was trembling when he spoke. , as if greatly frightened.

"I don't know what crime I committed?" Xie Xuan sneered, got up, picked up the book on the table, walked to the little envoy, squatted in front of him, put the book in front of the little envoy, and said softly: "The Ministry of Rites works , You should be literate, come, read it."

The little envoy was shocked when he read the contents of the book, but he could only pretend to be calm and read according to the book: "People in southern Xinjiang are proud of piercing their ears... On the day a man is born, he is wrapped in a cashmere blanket. First, take ice from the cellar, put it on the earlobe, and when it is extremely cold, use a silver needle to pierce the ear, the child will cry, and the ceremony will be completed. After that..."

"Okay, that's it after reading this." Xie Xuan went back, took out the roster, and said: "Wang Wenxiao, from Xiangtan, this year's candidates have ten parents and brothers at home. I have two matters I don’t know. Firstly, you are from Xiangtan. It is stated in the document that you have never been to Kyoto, but this accent is indeed a pure Kyoto flavor. How did you learn such a proficient accent in half a month after entering Beijing? Secondly, the Ministry of Rites counts as helpers , a total of 120 five people, only you have traces of ear piercing. Wang Wenxiao, I would like to know where your native place is?"

"The grown-ups don't know. Although the villain's family is in Xiangtan, my father paid a lot of money to teach a gentleman from Kyoto in the early years. Therefore, the adult is careful about the accent, but I really misunderstood the villain. Besides, the ear piercing... ..The ear piercing was done by my brother when I was young, and it is just a coincidence with what is said in the adult book."

"Coincidence, what a coincidence. Since the people of Daqi were born, they have parents who have been taught to receive body hair and skin, and ear piercing is a ritual that only women can do. There is such a coincidence. I don't know, if I am now Send people to Xiangtan, can you still find your home, and the ten members of your family!" Xie Xuan didn't know what to do, but he finally found a direction to try, and at this moment, he just looked at this The little envoy's knowledge is profound, if he is really someone from the city, Xie Xuan may not be able to interrogate him today. "When the list was released, you deliberately entered the Ministry of Rites. You must have known that the grand ceremony was coming, and wanted to take this opportunity to poison and assassinate the emperor, right? Tell me, who sent you here, and how long have you been in the capital?"

"My lord, I am wronged. The villain's mother is from southern Xinjiang. The villain's ears were pierced when he was a child, but..."

"There is nothing but. People in southern Xinjiang are not allowed to be officials. You have committed a crime. Wang Wenxiao, today I am standing in front of you with these books and files, don't you understand? What you did It has already been discovered, no matter who you are employed by or what tasks you have in the future, it is over here. The only thing you can do now is to confess and tell who the traitor who wants to murder the emperor is. The matter of poisoning, Offending the dragon's face and damaging the dragon's body is a capital crime that cannot be escaped. However, you are in Dali Temple, and there are many ways to make your life worse than death. If you have the courage not to do so, we will follow the ancient books. Try the methods in the book to extract confessions one by one."

The little envoy lowered his head for a while, then suddenly raised his head to stare at Xie Xuan and laughed, that smile was so ferocious that it made people shudder. "The shameless people of Daqi have only used this method to subdue people's hearts since ancient times. I, the people of southern Xinjiang, would rather die than surrender. Your Daqi emperor will always be taken care of. Daqi will not be safe, hahahaha."

Hearing this, Xie Xuan felt inappropriate. Thinking that this might be a dead soldier sent by Nanjiang, he immediately said to the people around him, "Quick, Fangfang."

The person behind him immediately stepped forward, but was still a step too late, "My lord, he bit his tongue and committed suicide."

"That's all." Xie Xuan waved his hand and exited the interrogation room with the file. The man was dead, but he found it anyway. The file that should be written has to be written, and he can go to Jing Wenhao tomorrow.Xie Xuan returned to his place full of doubts. The dossier had already been written, and Li Yong took him into the palace overnight, while he himself was in the room with the book in a trance.Who knows that things are not going well for him now, and it is a person who has such an ability. Even Li Yong's secret clues can't handle the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, but this person can accurately know what he needs, and can give him a gift in the open day. Come to Dali Temple.It must be known that because Dali Temple often locks up some serious criminals, the guards are really strict.Xie Xuan was at a loss, and his doubts had grown stronger in the past few days, so he could only report to the dungeon with the clues from the past few days.

"Why are you here again? Seeing your trial in the afternoon, I thought it would be very late." Li Zhiyuan had already gone to bed at this time, let alone a bed in other cells, it would be a blessing to have a haystack to settle down in, and the only one left The next two rooms were specially prepared by Xie Xuan.Although the bed was not soft, it was really a bed, not a haystack, and the mattress on it was made by Xie Xuan to spare in his room.There is also a charcoal stove next to it, which is always burning. Next to the stove is a small basin filled with unused smokeless charcoal, all of which were just prepared today.

"It's already three quarters of the clock, and the guards on duty at night have changed shifts, isn't it too late?" Xie Xuan went to Li Zhiyuan and sat down, took off his outer shirt, thinking about the coldness of the dungeon in the afternoon, which made people feel extra Some charcoal fires and a cloak were also sent, but it seems that they are completely useless now.

"Okay, take off your clothes as soon as you come in. Is it possible that Mr. Xie wants to use public property for private use, and use power for personal gain, and torture me to extract a confession at this time?" Li Zhiyuan joked at him mischievously. position out.

"Where did you learn these stupid words? You haven't been disciplined for a few days, and every day it changes, you become more and more indifferent, and you have forgotten all the rules." Xie Xuan, who originally wanted to go to the dungeon to read the file, saw Li Zhiyuan After the little space vacated for him, he immediately threw those things aside, took off his shoes and went to bed, holding him in his arms.

"Of course I have to follow the rules with my brother. If you want to be a brother, I won't stop you. Besides, it's because of you that I can learn these stupid words. I don't know who discovered that I like to watch the market. The picture book of Zhongqing love love, don't stop me, bought me a wall of picture books in the other courtyard on the second day, and then paid a deposit in the Ruilan clubhouse, and the monthly catalog was delivered to me on time Choose. According to me, you have bad intentions, and you used to want me to read more unscrupulous books, for fear that I would not find that you like me..."

Li Zhiyuan's words made Xie Xuan choked up, their lips and tongues intertwined, and on the small bed in the dungeon, the two embraced tighter and tighter.The dungeon is made of blue bricks, with only a one-foot-square window and an iron door, not to mention solid and soundproof.Because it is a "luxury" prison, the people who were locked here in the past were all important criminals. One prisoner has a noble status, and ordinary ordinary people would be sentenced to death if they murdered and set fire. They would definitely not be able to enter such a prison. To live in such a cell, one must be an official of the fourth grade or above. The forest gap was burned down here in the past.Secondly, the crimes committed must be serious crimes. If a general high official commits an ordinary crime, the relationship between all parties has been cleared before the yamen examines it. How can they live in these places.Therefore, the cells of Dali Temple, especially the dungeon on this floor, can almost be regarded as the royal cleaning place, and the degree of guarding inside is self-evident. Another batch was changed, and the number of personnel doubled. Every quarter of an hour, several guards would walk past the door.

In such an environment, the two hugged each other, Xie Xuan was still a little rational at the beginning, and after the initial violent kiss, he forcibly separated the distance between the two, panting heavily when they were separated.However, Li Zhiyuan was very playful, and felt that such an environment had the thrill of having an affair.Thinking that his father was in the not-too-distant compartment, and with the patrolling guards every quarter of an hour, his affairs with Xie Xuan could be discovered at any time, and he didn't kiss Xie Xuan too violently, but kissed Xie Xuan with both arms. Standing on the top of Xie Xuan's head, he propped up his body slightly, stared at Xie Xuan with all his attention, his eyes were all on him, then smiled evilly, lowered his head and kissed Xie Xuan's lips lightly, then left, and then Slowly leaned down, kissed again, and left before Xie Xuan wanted to go deeper. After so many repetitions, Xie Xuan finally couldn't hold back, turned over with one movement and pressed the person underneath.

"Are you kidding me?" Xie Xuan propped his hands beside him, staring at him panting, his eyes were greedy and hot, as if he wanted to tear people to pieces.

Li Zhiyuan grabbed Xie Xuan's skirt, smiled back at him, and didn't speak.

There was an evil fire in Xie Xuan's heart, and it was about to burst out, when suddenly someone knocked on the iron door outside. "Master Xie, Master Li is back. He said that he has something important to discuss and let you go over there." His people were outside, and the envoy's words were like a basin of cold water, splashing Xie Xuan soberly. The red person really couldn't bear to leave, but he had to get up and tidy himself up.Before leaving, he kissed Li Zhiyuan's forehead, and said: "Take a good rest, today's case has been concluded, if you are lucky, you can return home tomorrow."

The watchman outside had already sounded the bell for the third watch, and Li Yong had entered the palace at the time of Xu. Now that he had something important to discuss, Xie Xuan knew that it should be a "distinguished guest" from Dali Temple.Jing Wenhao was sitting on the grand master's chair in Li Yong's room.

"My humble minister sees the emperor." Xie Xuan knelt down and saluted.

"Forget it, get up. I have already read the documents you asked Li Yong to bring into the palace. It is not easy to find out the traitor in one day. Although it is a dead one, it is better than not explaining. Don't worry, I will be back in two days." It was decreed that this matter has been investigated and Dali Temple released people, but after all, it was a mistake made by the Ministry of Rites. If you want to stop it, you have to find a way. You said to me that day that you only wanted to protect that kid from the Li family. , but today I am not going to embarrass you, the person in charge is Li Zhiyuan and his father, with so many officials in the court and military officials staring at me, Xie Xuan, the Ministry of Rites must give me an explanation." The Ministry of Rites is in charge of the grand ceremony, and the Ministry of Rites is The ancestral hall was in charge of handling fine incense sticks, and it was a foregone conclusion that one of Li Zhiyuan and Li Heng would be dismissed.

"Your majesty, let me think about it again." Xie Xuan looked gloomy.

"Okay, you think about it. By the way, I just went to see Concubine Zhen in the prison. She confessed some things, and I will let Li Yong tell you the details later. I just promised her to keep her family safe. You can arrange it and find a time." , to deal with this matter. By the way, when you come to the palace tomorrow, Prime Minister Tao is going to mention the matter of abolishing the regent. Prime Minister Tao is a good person, but he is always a bit pedantic. He will definitely say that I am radical in the imperial study tomorrow. I block it, so as not to hurt the heart of the old courtier, and he will go back to the mountains in a bad mood."

"The minister obeys the order."

"There is one more thing. After tomorrow, Li Yong's people are almost done investigating in Hualiu Hutong. Once the regent minister is abolished, they will definitely find a chance to do it. I decided to take the empress to live in the palace in the outer suburbs during this spare time. If there is anything to do, send Anzi to send a letter."

"I know." Xie Xuan replied, "Your Majesty, I still have something to report."

"Speaking bluntly."

"I think this assassination is different. Firstly, although the girl Chunxiao who poisoned the high priest is hiding in Liyuan, she doesn't seem to be from Yiwang's faction. Second, Yiwang's faction has long had the intention to hide soldiers, so they started this kind of attack." Thoughtful people, I am afraid that they will not do it when all the preparations are not in place, so the timing of assassinating the emperor is not right. I think that this wave of Nanjiang people and King Yi are not in the same group, and there may be other people in Beijing who have different ideas .”

"Li Yong has mentioned what you said, and I have thought about it, but the world is so big, you know that it is not easy to find a person with evil intentions, that one is called Chun Xiao, hurry up and find it. The queen prepared some antidote for you Priest, I have arranged for someone to give him medicine on time, and he may not be sober after the medicine is used up, in short, you should pay attention to it, don't worry, I will definitely reward you when you are done with this work."

"The emperor appreciates it, and I should devote myself to it."
