you got on my tail

Heidan finished speaking very carefully, pulled Bai Xuehe's sleeve and hid in a corner, deliberately avoiding Wei Lan to see.

Bai Xuehe was dragged away by the child, so he had to simply wave goodbye to Wei Lan. Xiaopang walked to the corner with Bai Xuehe in his hand, and raised his round face reluctantly.

"What's the matter?" Bai Xuehe gently brushed away the broken hair on his forehead, and saw the child puffed up again, "What happened when you saw Yu Yan?"

After Bai Xuehe asked, seeing Hei Dan was even more aggrieved, and felt that he was too hasty in this matter, and he should take care of the child first, so he said: "Who offended my Xiao Hei, I'll beat him up!"

"I saw Yu Yan, but she didn't wear white balls, and she didn't look like she used to..." Heidan explained slowly, drawing a circle on Bai Xuehe's palm with her little finger, "But she is a monster, all monsters, I I can feel the breath..."

"You mean..." Bai Xuehe didn't understand their monster system, but he did understand what Heidan said: Yu Yan deliberately changed into a different appearance, pretending that he didn't know them.

So he put it another way and asked, "What has become of Yu Yan?"

"I didn't see clearly either, she was sitting in the sedan chair." Heitan twisted her fingers, raised her head and said affirmatively, "But I must have felt her breath! Bai Xuehe, do you think she will be the same as Ah Li? Doing bad things, so you dare not see me..."

Although Heidan is stupid, he still cares about his friends. Even after a long time, he has been brooding over A Li's matter, so Bai Xuehe could only pat him on the head and comfort him: "No, foxes under the sun There are so many demons, maybe you misjudged them, Yu Yan is so good with you, how can you do bad things."

"No, no, I've never made a mistake..." Heidan was silent for a while, and had no choice but to say in frustration: "Maybe, there are not many monsters in the valley, maybe I remembered them."

"You are the most obedient." Bai Xuehe pulled him into the room, "The capital is so big, and there are many monsters of all kinds. Don't misunderstand, and be careful of being bullied by big monsters."

"Yeah." Heidan nodded, with a bit of sadness on his usually carefree face, but he didn't tell Bai Xuehe anything.

Late at night, General Xu's Mansion.

Xu Yan sat in the mansion and frowned, and kicked over the footwashing water brought by the maid.

"Get out!" Xu Yan yelled in a low voice like a trapped animal with a strong smell of alcohol. The servant girl backed away with tears, and a young woman came behind the screen. It is loosely held behind the head, the hills and valleys on the chest are snow-white, and the makeup on the face is exquisite.

"You are... Pei'er?" Xu Yan raised his drunken eyes to look at his young and beautiful concubine's room, and his heavy heart eased a little. A beautiful woman named Pei'er came and sat beside him, and then sneaked into the room. in his arms.

When the Empress Dowager Xu was not in power, she arranged for the young Xu Yan to marry the princess of the Wang family of Pingnan County as his wife. After the death of the king of Pingnan County, Xu Yan gradually became the number one general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the princess was left out in the cold.He is a real family from all over the world, and has taken in countless concubines, Pei'er is just one of the many concubines he left in the capital, not to mention the name, he can't even remember the appearance of this Pei'er.

"Your Majesty has not killed the Second Young Master, our affairs will have a turnaround, and there will definitely be a turnaround in the future..." Pei'er had a soft voice, and she slowly lay in Xu Yan's arms, and breathed softly in his ear, Xu Yan Originally distraught, but the moment he saw Peier, he suddenly felt intoxicated like an aphrodisiac/drug, and then he didn't have time to think about it, so he slapped someone into his account.

As the ears and temples rubbed together, the smell of alcohol flooded into Xu Yan's brain, and his words were a little bit upbeat, and he didn't know what happened in the past.

His voice was very soft, almost raving: "Girl, what's your name?"

"I don't have a name..." Pei'er was sweating profusely, her soft voice was crying, "I live alone in the desert..."

"Then let me call you Yuyan." Xu Yan put her arms around her and looked into the distance drunkenly, as if seeing the woman in white who had guided him in the lost desert many years ago, "I met you, this is Aventure .”

"Yes..." Pei'er raised her eyes and stared at him closely, her brown eyes gradually faded to a clear blue-blue color, her eyes flickered, it was the alluring white fox in the past.

"It's me, Mr. Xiang, I've been looking for you for 30 years." Yu Yan smiled, and pressed against Xu Yan's strong chest, "There will definitely be a turning point, and I've been helping you."

After Xu Yan fell into a deep sleep, Yu Yan reluctantly got up from the couch. She changed into a close-fitting black robe and avoided the guards until Xu Gao was imprisoned in Jinyiwei Prison. Xu Gao originally returned to Dali Temple for questioning, but Dali Temple did not Setting up prisons can only temporarily place human traffickers in imperial prisons.

Yu Yan took out the silver tael from her sleeve, and flashed the badge of Xu Mansion, the hesitant Jin Yiwei in front of the door winked at each other, and let her in anyway.

"Sister-in-law?!" Although Xu Gao knew that Pei'er was just a concubine, but now that Xu Yan was living in the capital, this person was obviously here on behalf of Xu Yan.

He thought that Xu Yan had already decided to abandon his pawns to protect the commander in chief, but he didn't expect that there was still a chance of life, so he hastily trembled and flattered him: "But elder brother asked you to come?"

"Of course." Yu Yan was very happy to hear this address, her peach blossom eyes slanted, she raised her orchid fingers and took out a bamboo tube from her narrow sleeve, Xu Gao opened the bamboo tube knowingly, and took out the note paper inside.

"Tomorrow, Lan Ziqing will go to the interrogation. If he wants to survive, he will deny it to death and ask Bai Xuehe to enter the Xingshan Coal Mine in person..." Xu Gao looked at the words inside in disbelief, full of doubts in his heart, when he looked up again, Yu Yan has disappeared.

……

The note was not written by Xu Yan, but was printed with movable type blocks. Xu Gao had no information about Xu Gao in prison, and it is not known whether Xu Yan did it out of caution, or someone colluded with Pei Er to forge it deliberately.

On the second day, Xu Gao's house was ransacked. Sure enough, someone informed Xu Gao to go to the hearing. Xu Gao let go of his anxiety and believed the contents of the letter.

Xu was in order to appease the Queen Mother, Fu Jiying didn't kill Xu Gaochu immediately, but the procedure of confiscating his family and sending him to prison was quite a bit less.

Bai Xuehe was sitting in the atrium of Xu Gao's mansion, dressed in a vermilion official gown, her eyes were like lacquer under the black gauze, and her skin was white.

Xu Gao was pressed out, and he was kneeling on the cold ground in prison uniform. Under his messy hair, there was a face that was very similar to Xu Yan, but it was not as powerful as Xu Yan. On the contrary, he was a little vain, but there was a faint expression in his expression. some excitement.

Xu Yan was arrogant, and so was Xu Gao who had received some hints. Although he knew Bai Xuehe's reputation as the emperor's lackey, he looked down on this alluring official in front of him from the bottom of his heart.

Bai Xuehe looked at Xu Gao and grinned, wondering if it wasn't for the empress dowager's sake, this person's dead body was already lying in Caishikou, and now Jin Yiwei is raiding his home, why is he still smiling like a mother.

In any case, the spirit of the Xu family is worth learning.

"Mr. Xu, I want to ask you the first question." Bai Xuehe casually flipped through a few pages, "I heard that the coal mine has been fully mined, and I sent someone to open it, so why did you pretend to be a mine accident? "

Although he has never been to the coal mine himself, since Lan Ziqing's people have sent the case file, there are dead people in the coal mine except for some necessary tools, so there is nothing unusual about it.

After being imprisoned for such a long time, Xu Gao should have understood the current situation even though Xu Yan was a big bully. Since there was no conclusive statement, Bai Xuehe tried this, hoping to get some words out.

"Where am I going to fake a mine accident!" Xu Gao spat out bloodshot old phlegm. These days he was frightened, and his spirit was tense. Appeared, so he said coldly: "Master Bai, I, Xu Gao, am also called a member of the staff, so naturally I can't handle everything! What about secretly changing the magistrate, faking a mine accident, isn't it all yours? Except Ruan Jin died Apart from the mark you deduced by yourself before, what else can prove that this matter is related to my Xu family?"

"Stubborn." Bai Xuehe shook his head, turned to look at the accompanying Jin Yiwei, then grinned and said, "Mr. Xu, you are forcing me to execute the sentence."

"Why did Mr. Bai execute the punishment? What's wrong with what he said?" Before Bai Xuehe could speak, footsteps could be heard in front of the door. Lan Ziqing stood in front of the door in Dali Temple official uniform, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Dali Zhou Luling, major cases need to be tried by the three judiciary, why neither I nor the Metropolitan Procuratorate know about this matter, and you alone preside over the trial?"

Bai Xuehe rolled his eyes, he really didn't know when Lan Ziqing would understand that the emperor was much bigger than Dazhou Lawling.

"I didn't try the case." Although he was dissatisfied, he still wanted to face it, Bai Xuehe held back his anger, cupped his hands to the sky and said with a smile: "Right now, we are just ransacking your house, could it be that even the Holy Majesty ordered you to fight against Dali Temple?" Can't we negotiate?"

"Since it's ransacking the house, why use your Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment?" Lan Ziqing said in a very strong tone, "Since Mr. Bai ransacked the house, just ask the accountant to copy the accounts. I also brought the documents here at Dali Temple. Please continue, Mr. Bai. "

"Continue." If there is no trial at this moment, Xu Gao will not go anywhere else, Bai Xuehe is determined to give Lan Ziqing a bad impression, he turns around and leaves the account book on the table, then turns around and says: "Okay, then this matter Then hand it over to Lord Lan, and ask Master Lan to report back to His Majesty."

Lan Ziqing remained expressionless, and waved to the secretary, who came tremblingly, smiled wryly at Bai Xuehe, and sat on the seat respectfully.

"Lord Bai!" Seeing Bai Xuehe getting up and about to leave, Xu Gao finally mustered up his courage, stood up suddenly and shouted, "The Xu family is not a powerful bully, but the generals cannot die for nothing! You want my Xu family to plead guilty , unless I personally go to the Xingshan Coal Mine and find out that my Xu family forged the ironclad evidence of the mine disaster!"
