People always think I'm a broken sleeve

Su Bian is not a person who likes to have a hot face and a cold butt.

Although he couldn't figure it out, Xuan Yue, who used to pester him every day and made him a guest at Xuanfu, suddenly changed his temper, but he didn't intend to find out why.

Su Bian was indeed a little curious about why Xuanyue suddenly changed his sex, whether it was because of the wild hunt that day, and what happened to the wild hunt that day... Although curious, but also

Just curious.

Originally thinking that Xuanyue had saved his life, because of reason, he should also come to pay his respects.But since Xuan Yue is gone, that's all.

The friendship has come, but the other party doesn't appreciate it, so it has nothing to do with him.

After Su Bian returned to the mansion, he no longer had the idea of ​​visiting Xuanfu.

The next day when he went to court, just like before, Xuanyue still hadn't appeared, and he seemed to have disappeared.

As usual, Su Bian gave Xie Daochen a slight nod as a greeting, and then looked away.When he retracted his gaze, the corner of his eye inadvertently glanced at Qiu Qingxi's side face.

Probably stayed in the Taiqing Court for half a month... Oh no, it should be because of being tortured for half a month by those cases solved by the Taiqing Court. Looking at Qiu Qingxi now, he feels more and more pleasing to the eye

some.Even though Qiu Qingxi's expression and attitude towards him were as cold and sharp as ever.

However, I don't know if it's because Qiu Qingxi returned to the Taiqing Academy and faced those piles of files, I always feel that Qiu Qingxi's face today seems to be more serious than before.

A little gloomy and indifferent.

Soon, up court.

Just like before, after Shunde, the chief executive standing next to the Emperor Jin, finished saying "play if you have something to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do", all the courtiers under the court began to stand out and present the papers.

Report affairs.But because the fortunes of the country are now prosperous, prosperous, and there are no disasters or disasters, basically there is nothing to talk about.

The first emperor has paved all the roads for Emperor Jin. Whether it is the state of Jin, the ministers, or the country, Emperor Jin does not need to worry about it.Just sit on this dragon chair.

After Shunde finished speaking, Emperor Jin was about to retreat.Anyway, he didn't expect anything to happen.

It’s okay anyway, in fact, fundamentally speaking, there’s no need to go to court at all... But Ji Yixiao doesn’t allow it, if you don’t go to court, don’t even think about eating, Jin Emperor has to do it every day

Aggrieved and honest, he went up to the court, not daring to fall down even once.

The Emperor Jin was waiting to go to court, when Qiu Qingxi suddenly bowed and stepped out.Not only that, but he seemed to be holding a dossier in his hand.

The appearance of that file seemed familiar to Su Bian.If I remember correctly, it seems to be the one that An Heqing spread out on his desk yesterday.The case recorded in it seems to be something eight years ago

The case of extermination.

However, why did Qiu Qingxi bring this dossier here?

Although the extermination case is rare, compared with the many extermination cases in the Taiqing Court, it is not a serious case.In short, it is by no means to the extent that it is necessary to bring it to the court.

Unless, this case is related to a certain minister in the court.

Then, Qiu Qingxi's deep voice sounded in the huge Qianqing Palace, saying: "I have something to play."

Unexpectedly, Qiu Qingxi was going to perform, and the Jin Emperor, who was still waiting for his next court, was really taken aback.Emperor Jin was stunned for a moment, and then he came back to his senses for a while, and then he said: "Quick play."

After Qiu Qingxi thanked the emperor lightly, he continued: "Yesterday, when I was reviewing the files in the Taiqing Court, I found a serious case of extermination with many doubts.

It was too strange, so Weichen reviewed the case carefully.After carefully looking at it three times, Wei Chen found that something was wrong with this case. "

The big case of extermination?

Emperor Jin, who had been dozing off just now, became interested all of a sudden. Sitting on the dragon chair, Emperor Jin straightened up, looked at Qiu Qingxi who was bowing under the court hall with bright eyes, and said curiously: "Qiu Aiqing

What did you find? "

Qiu Qingxi raised his hand, and presented the file that he had been holding all along.

Shunde, who was standing beside Emperor Jin, stepped forward to take it, and then handed it over to Emperor Jin.

Emperor Jin got the dossier, and immediately opened the dossier without even thinking about it.As soon as I opened the file, I was so disgusted by the dense text inside that I almost spit it out. ——Because approved

Too many excerpts and copying too many Four Books and Five Classics.

Emperor Jin endured the rising and churning nausea, carefully looked at the cases recorded in the dossier, and then...read and looked again.

Well... I really don't understand.

Emperor Jin closed the file again in silence, then turned his gaze back to Qiu Qingxi, and asked, "I finished reading it, so what did Qiu Aiqing find?"

Qiu Qingxi replied unhurriedly: "Has the emperor ever discovered that although the prisoner voluntarily confessed, the testimony recorded by the master book is very strange. The prisoner confessed to the murder, but

No mention of process at all.When mentioning why he wanted to kill Chi Yuanwai, it was just a hasty sentence because he had a feud with Chi Yuanwai before, nothing else. "

Not only Qiu Qingxi, Su Bian also saw this.However, because I didn't want to be entangled in the trivial matters in Taiqing's courtyard, I didn't go into it.

But...why did Qiu Qingxi bring this up in court today?

After Qiu Qingxi finished asking, Emperor Jin was silent for two seconds.

Well... because I didn't find it.But Emperor Jin would not admit it.

Emperor Jin cleared his throat, pretending to be deep, and said with a dry smile, not blushing and heartbeating: "Of course I found out! Ahaha, I can tell at a glance that the testimony here is not quite right

Hahaha..."

Ji Yixiao, who stood at the forefront of the line, glanced at Emperor Jin who was sitting on the dragon chair with a dry smile, but did not expose the lie of Emperor Jin.

Qiu Qingxi continued: "So, I conclude that the person in the case who went to the Yamen to plead guilty is by no means the real criminal. It's just a scapegoat brought by the real criminal."

Emperor Jin opened his mouth in shock.

Qiu Qingxi lowered his head, so he didn't see Jin Emperor's dumbfounded expression.Then, I heard Qiu Qingxi say again: "It is recorded in the file that the woman next to Chi Yuanwai's mansion saw it with her own eyes.

murderer.Said that the murderer was wearing luxurious clothes, and his status must be either rich or noble. "

Emperor Jin was very curious now, he hurriedly asked: "Then who is the real murderer?"

At this time, Qiu Qingxi suddenly laughed coldly.

Qiu Qingxi seldom laughed, or in other words, never laughed.In court, he always kept a straight face, as if everyone he saw owed him 500 taels of silver.

So this was the first time that the courtiers present saw Qiu Qingxi smile.

Qiu Qingxi has a delicate appearance, with red lips and white teeth.The appearance is not ugly, it can even be called pleasing to the eye.If it wasn't for keeping a straight face every day, as if someone owed him money

, I am afraid that the matchmaker has already leveled the gate of the Qiu Mansion.

Qiu Qingxi looked pretty good, logically speaking, when he laughed, it should make people feel fascinated.But it's probably because Qiu Qingxi's stern face was so deeply rooted in people before, that now

He suddenly burst out laughing, causing all the ministers present to touch his hairy arms in horror.

Qiu Qingxi's laughter, like a gust of dark wind, blew past the backs of all the ministers, making people feel horrified.

Qiu Qingxi smiled lightly, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes.

Qiu Qingxi said: "Unfortunately, eight years ago, I happened to pass by Huai'an. Although I didn't witness the scene where Chi Yuanwai was killed, I do know who the real murderer is."

Emperor Jin was so curious that when he heard it, he subconsciously asked, "Who is it?"

Only then did the Emperor Jin end his words, and the courtiers accompanied the Emperor Jin to listen for a long time, but the courtiers who hadn't heard one important point finally couldn't bear it anymore.They got up early to go to court, and they didn't come here to listen to nonsense.

The first person to speak was Kong Fuxin, Yin of Shuntian Prefecture.

Kong Fuxin glanced at Qiu Qingxi, frowned, and said with an unhappy expression: "Master Qiu, this is the Qianqing Palace in the Forbidden City, not Mr. Qiu's Taiqing Court. Mr. Qiu tried the case, I'm afraid it's a mistake.

ground.Furthermore, even if there are many doubts in the case, Mr. Qiu should discuss it with Mr. Jiuqing instead of the emperor.The emperor has a lot of things to do every day, so he doesn't have time to chat with Mr. Qiu about the family extermination case

. "

Kong Fu interrupted abruptly, and the atmosphere in the court suddenly condensed.The air seemed to be stagnant.

Because the atmosphere was too heavy, Emperor Jin's sentence, "Actually, I have too much time to spare, I don't have any so-called daily affairs" could not be uttered.

In the court, although the civil servants and the military officials disliked each other and often fought each other in the court hall, the courtiers in the two factions were united tightly.Even among civil servants or

It was internal strife among the military officers, but it would never make things too big.

However, although Qiu Qingxi belongs to the civil servants, he actually does not belong to the civil servants.

Because Qiu Qingxi was too upright, he said what he said, and he didn't stand for any faction.Whether it is a civil official or a military official, as long as he commits a crime, even the current emperor can still catch it.

Kong Fu's words fell to the ground, and the other courtiers followed suit.

"Lord Qiu, report the case to the emperor after the court. This is the Qianqing Palace, not the place to handle cases."

"Yes, that is. Let's talk about it later."

"This matter in Taiqing's courtyard should be discussed by Master Jiuqing..."

"Lord Qiu has only left the palace for half a month, how come he even forgot the court rules?"

All the ministers spoke one sentence at a time, and Qiu Qingxi slowly lowered his face.

Seeing that Qiu Qingxi was silenced by them, all the ministers couldn't help laughing secretly.In the past, when they flattered Qiu Qingxi, Qiu Qingxi never gave them a good face,

They didn't know how much they suffered from Qiu Qingxi.

Now that he finally got revenge, all the ministers couldn't help but feel relieved.Sneaking in his heart, but his face remained calm, but the slightly upturned corners of his mouth showed a hint of gloating

suspect.

According to Su Bian's disposition, in such occasions, he would definitely stand on the sidelines and ignore them.

But before thinking that Qiu Qingxi had helped him out of the siege before, and he really didn't want to waste any more time here, so he said, "Master Kong, why are you interrupting in such a hurry?

Mr. Qiu hadn't finished speaking, Mr. Kong knew it after listening.As for discussing with the official...it was the official who asked Mr. Qiu to report to the emperor, and Mr. Kong does not need to worry about this official.Furthermore, Mr. Qiu is not

For those who don't know the reason, Mr. Qiu will bring up this case in the court, so he has his own reasons. "

When Su Bian spoke, the Emperor Jin, who was sitting on the dragon chair, jumped in quickly and said, "Thank you Qiu Aiqing for thinking about me, but I don't take care of everything every day. In fact, I...have a lot of time...

"

After Emperor Jin finished speaking, Ji Yixiao, who was standing at the front, suddenly asked slowly, "...Really?"

Ji Yixiao opened his mouth unprepared, and Emperor Jin's body trembled immediately, without even thinking about it, he said: "No! Absolutely not! I was just joking. I am so busy every day, aha

what……"

Emperor Jin laughed dryly, and under Ji Yixiao's 'calm' gaze, his voice became lower and lower.

—Sorry, he doesn't talk nonsense anymore.

Emperor Jin changed his words, but he still couldn't make Kong Fuxin's expression ease a little.

Kong Fuxin glanced at Su Bian who suddenly spoke for Qiu Qingxi for some reason, his face turned cold.After he twitched the corner of his mouth, he was speechless.

Not only Kong Fuxin, but even Qiu Qingxi was taken aback.He turned his eyes to Su Bian, and his eyes suddenly became extremely complicated. ——He didn't forget what kind of attitude he used before

treat each other.

Qiu Qingxi stared at Su Bian in a daze, Su Bian didn't lift his eyes, and reminded with a blank expression: "Master Qiu finished?"

Only then did Qiu Qingxi come back to his senses.He glanced at Su Bian with complicated and incomprehensible eyes, and after looking away, he continued to speak unhurriedly: "Eight years ago, there was a drought in Huai'an County.

, It has not rained once for three years, and the farmland has no harvest.The people dare not speak out.Except for the slightly rich Chi Yuan, the rest of the people in Huai'an County can't afford to wear anything at all.

What a great dress.And the woman's testimony in the dossier stated that it was a man in luxurious clothes who committed the murder, so the murderer could not be from the same county.It wouldn't be the one who went to the Yamen to voluntarily confess

criminal. "

Emperor Jin stared at Qiu Qingxi without blinking, for fear of missing a word.He hurriedly asked, "Who is that?"

The corners of Qiu Qingxi's lips curled up slightly, with an expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.He chuckled again, and said: "It just so happened that before Chi Yuanwai was killed, Mr. Guo Wei...arrived in Huai'an County. And the one who died right before Chi Yuanwai

On the second day, Lord Guowei just happened to...leave Huai'an County. "

For the word "happening", Qiu Qingxi slightly accentuated the words.

Luxuriously dressed people, scapegoats, as soon as Chi Yuanwai died, Xuanyue left Huai'an County 'Zhengqi'... No one would believe it was a coincidence.

Moreover, everyone in the court knows that Xuan Yue's temperament is uncertain, he was smiling one second, and you might lose the black hat on your head the next second.If we talk about delays due to external factors

In order to offend Xuanyue, Xuanyue wiped out his family, in fact... it is possible.

Also, Xuanyue served as the admiral of Xuzhou before becoming a lieutenant of the country.And Huai'an County is the county seat under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou.If Xuanyue went to Huai'an County eight years ago, then

It is also possible.

For a while, the expressions of the important ministers in the court became subtle.No one in the court spoke, and the temperature in Qianqing Palace seemed to drop by five degrees all of a sudden.

Chang Huai, who had been silent all this time, smiled, stared at Qiu Qingxi with a gloomy face, and said, "These are just the words of Lord Qiu, can Lord Qiu produce evidence?"

Feng Cheng followed suit, "That's right, it's groundless, who knows if it's true or not?"

Qiu Qingxi knew that Chang Huai would say that, so he was not surprised. He said without changing his expression, "Master Chang sent someone to Huai'an County to check and find out."

Chang Huai didn't know how much wind and rain he had gone through, how could he be troubled by Qiu Qingxi.His voice was cold, and he replied casually: "Master Qiu has been away from Beijing for half a month, and I am afraid that everything has been prepared long ago."

It's ready.Even if the official sends someone to Huai'an County, I'm afraid they will just return without a problem. "

For the past half month, Qiu Qingxi paid homage in front of his parents' graves, and never went to other places.But it was misinterpreted by Chang Huai as a conspiracy. He quietly prepared evidence and criminals, and waited to send someone to come

go with.

Qiu Qing calmed down, "You—"

Sitting on the dragon chair, Emperor Jin looked at Qiu Qingxi and Chang Huai, not knowing what to do. He looked at Su Bian with a troubled face, and asked for help: "Zhuang Aiqing thinks... what should I do?"
