Xiao Qinghuan

Chapter 85

The light armor rubbed against each other, and Shenweiying quietly disappeared into the alley, and appeared near the official post a moment later.

There was still light on in the Dizi room on the second floor of the official post, and the figure of the man was projected on the oiled paper window, stretched and deformed.The man in the room sat upright, seemingly unaware of the undercurrent surging outside.

Although Shenweiying wants to take people, it can't take them with great fanfare.Wei Shen was about to bring his personal guards into the door, but was stopped by Jiang Ying.

With Jiang Ying's horizontal sword in hand, he said coldly, "Surround the back door."

He Liuyun's affairs were of great importance, so it was understandable for Jiang Ying to follow, and after all, he was Jiang Xiaohan's confidant, so even Wei Shen wanted to give him some face.

According to Wei Shen's words, he ordered [-] soldiers from the Divine Guard Battalion to surround the posthouse, and then Jiang Ying put away his sword and stepped back half a step behind him.

He Liuyun is an official appointed by the imperial court, if he wants to get it, Wei Shen has to go there in person to barely qualify for his status.

It was getting late, and there was only a night watchman left in the lobby of the official post. Seeing Wei Shen coming in aggressively, he couldn't help being startled.The people in the official post were always seen by officials who came and went, and when they saw the light armor on Wei Shen's body, they knew that he was not easy to mess with, so they didn't dare to come up to stop him.

Wei Shen squinted his eyes to identify the situation going downstairs, leaving two personal guards guarding the lobby, and took Jiang Ying upstairs.

Sandalwood was burning in He Liuyun's house, and he was sitting on the futon with his eyes closed, reciting scriptures.When Wei Shen pushed the door and entered, He Liuyun had just finished reading half of the Diamond Sutra, and opened his eyes to look at Wei Shen.

Jiang Ying glanced around calmly, and saw that He Liuyun was the only one in the room, and the entourage who followed He Liuyun before had disappeared.

He Liuyun didn't seem to be surprised by this scene, but slowly wrapped the string of nanmu beads back around his wrist.

"Commander Wei." He Liuyun said, "I'm here late at night, what's the matter?"

Wei Shen didn't intend to talk to him too much, he just said, "Master Jiang is here to invite you."

He Liuyun wasn't panicked, on the contrary, he was a little calm.He lifted the censer on the desk beside him, crushed out the burning incense in it little by little, and then stood up and took off the cloak on the hanger.

"Then please." He Liuyun said.

For He Liuyun, this scene was something he had expected.He left the handle of Shengci just to lure Jiang Xiaohan into the bait.He has been an official for many years, and he has never dealt with anyone. He knows Jiang Xiaohan, and the other party naturally understands him. If he doesn't show any traces, the other party may not be hooked.

But that's okay too.He Liuyun thought, it's just an ancestral hall, and when Ning Zheng becomes a great treasure in the future, he will have as much as he wants.

When it comes to court affairs, it's nothing more than to see who loses less, and whoever wins.

Jiang Xiaohan cut the long candle wicks short with silver scissors, and the originally dark flames lit up again. He carefully cut the candle wicks in several places in the hall one by one, and then took a cloth towel to wipe his hands.

There was the sound of heavy boots stomping on the ground outside, and Jiang Xiaohan knew it well—it was brought back by someone.

Now that the matter was over, Jiang Xiaohan felt very calm. He put the cloth towel back on the candlestick, turned and walked towards the courtroom.

He Liuyun is a member of the third rank, and it stands to reason that if he is to be convicted, he will have to have at least three interrogations, so even though he is in the courtroom, he is not panicked, and even stands in the courtroom ostentatiously, asking Jiang Xiaohan to move a chair for him.

"Show Master He a seat." Jiang Xiaohan raised his hand.

Soldiers from the Divine Guard Battalion moved a high stool and placed it in the hall. He Liuyun brushed off his sleeves, and Shi Shiran sat down.

He Liuyun smiled and said, "Master Jiang invited me here today, is there something important?"

Jiang Xiaohan looked calm, and tapped on the table with his fingers: "Actually, it's not a big deal. I called my lord here to ask, can my lord know about the living shrines in the suburbs of Anqing Mansion?"

He Liuyun originally thought that Jiang Xiaohan was going to show him off, but he didn't want him to seriously put on a show, so he couldn't help but find it funny.

"I know." He Liuyun said, "It's just my lord, the Shengci Temple is just—"

"It turns out that your lord knows." Jiang Xiaohan suddenly interrupted him: "I have been an official in the same dynasty as your lord for many years, but I don't want your lord to be so confused. After all, it is just an ancestral hall for offering, why is your lord so anxious To destroy the corpse."

He Liuyun was taken aback: "What?"

Jiang Xiaohan didn't speak, he sat on the high platform, from He Liuyun's point of view, he could only see Jiang Xiaohan looking down at him, his beautiful peach eyes were full of indifference, and he didn't take him seriously at all.

— This is the step.

He Liuyun thought angrily, the Great Court Meeting is also a matter of discussion, he seems to be always left behind by Jiang Xiaohan, and he can only look up to him for many years.

Maybe the disdain in Jiang Xiaohan's eyes was too obvious, He Liuyun couldn't help standing up: "What ruin—"

In the middle of his speech, he was suddenly interrupted by a loud shout from outside.

"Jiang Xiaohan—!"

The sound of hurried footsteps rushed in from outside, and Jiang Ying grabbed his shoulder before the person approached.The scabbard grazed against the light armor, making a teeth-stinging sound.

"Let me go." Xie Jue pulled hard, he was so strong that Jiang Ying was caught off guard and almost let go.

But Jiang Ying was born as a shadow guard after all, Xie Jue, a half-grown boy, could not beat him. He pulled the scabbard away, then clasped Xie Jue's shoulder and held his hand instead.

"Don't be rude." Jiang Ying frowned.

"Damn!" Xie Jue couldn't get rid of Jiang Ying, so he could only stare at Jiang Xiaohan with a pair of red eyes: "My father and brother had an accident, why didn't you tell me."

Jiang Xiaohan frowned slightly, he naturally wouldn't ask such a stupid question as to who told you this, He Liuyun is still here, he couldn't lose his momentum no matter what, and let He Liuyun see the joke.

"You're tired." Jiang Xiaohan waved his hand, signaling Jiang Ying to let him go: "Go and rest for a while."

"Jiang Xiaohan, don't fool me with this sentence. My father and brother have fought for the country for many years, why should he be imprisoned!" Xie Jue threw Jiang Ying away and stared at him fiercely: "I know everything ——If you had said earlier, at least I could go back to Beijing to meet the Holy Majesty and intercede for my father and brother."

As Xie Jue said, he took out a tattered letter from his bosom, gritted his teeth and asked, "I just went to the official post, you withhold this letter, and spend me doing something every day for the past few days." No, just to keep me from knowing about it, right?"

Jiang Xiaohan looked down at him, indifferent.

Xie Jue was completely irritated by his attitude, and he threw the letter on the ground: "Jiang Mingyuan, I have always regarded you as a friend, and you are doing such a thing now."

"What's the use of you going back?" Jiang Xiaohan finally said, he hid his tightly clenched hands under the table, and said lightly: "Go back to die, or you have to kneel down on the long street, hoping that His Majesty loves you, Can Xie Yongming be spared the crime of resisting and disobeying for a moment of soft-heartedness?"

"Jiang Xiaohan, do you have a heart?" Xie Jue trembled angrily: "My father and brother have such a big accident, I am a son and a brother, even if I die, I have to go back and intercede for my father. My father was wronged, if Your Majesty If you are really so stupid, that family will die together!"

"Then someone pointed at the spine and called the whole family a traitor." Jiang Xiaohan said.

Xie Jue was out of breath: "Jiang Xiaohan, you—"

Seeing this scene, He Liuyun almost clapped his hands and laughed.

Jiang Xiaohan's mistake was that he was too kind to Xie Jue, thinking he could protect him, but in the end he was going to be pointed at his nose and scolded for being heartless.

Xie Jue gritted his teeth and said word by word, "Jiang Xiaohan, I want to go back to Beijing."

"Impossible." Jiang Xiaohan said without hesitation, "Without my order, you can never leave Pingjiang City."

"Don't think that I don't have something against you." Xie Jue sneered, pointed at him and said, "Jiang Xiaohan, I just heard from the brothers at the official post that you dare to kill two hundred lives without blinking an eye. "

Wei Shen suddenly felt bad, and it was too late to stop him.

"You still want them to do it at dawn! People only run around when they are awake, and only when they are dead will they look miserable, right?" Xie Jue yelled, "Jiang Xiaohan, you are so cruel--!"

A figure strode up beside him, his movements were a little faster than Wei Shen's.The ending of Xie Jue's second half of the sentence was scattered in the wind, and he fell down limply, and was caught upright.

"Little General Xie is drunk." Guan Zhong put Xie Jue's arm on his shoulders calmly, as if he wasn't the one who knocked him unconscious just now: "I'll take him back first."

When Xie Jue fell down, he bumped into Jiang Xiaohan's desk. The desk shook three times, and the teacup on it was wobbly, and finally fell on its side. The lid of the cup rolled several times, and the herbal tea inside poured out. Come out, sprinkle Jiang Xiaohan all over the edge of the table.

Jiang Xiaohan seemed unaware.

Wei Shen suddenly noticed that his face had become extremely ugly, Jiang Xiaohan's gaze passed Xie Jue, also He Liuyun, and fell outside.

Wei Shen turned around following his gaze suspiciously, only to realize that there was someone standing at the door at some point.

——Yan Qing.

Tonight's Pingjiang government office is too chaotic, Jiang Xiaohan thought.He didn't even know when Yan Qing came, how long he stood there, and how much he heard.

Jiang Xiaohan looked at Yan Qing, feeling suddenly at a loss.

—what on earth is he going to do?

His heartbeat was beating like a drum, and his eardrums were pulsating crazily with the heartbeat, and he couldn't hear anything clearly for a while.

Yan Qing seemed to notice that Jiang Xiaohan was looking over, he lowered his eyes slightly, and took a step forward to avoid Jiang Xiaohan's gaze: "Are you busy?"

Jiang Xiaohan's mind was blank, and he nodded instinctively: "Yeah."

Yan Qing's eyes swept over He Liuyun, as if he didn't intend to discredit him here, so he said softly, "I'll wait for you at the door."

Yan Qing turned around while talking, walked out without stopping, turned right along the door, and disappeared behind the door.

Jiang Xiaohan felt as if something soft and warm was being taken out of his heart along with Yan Qing's steps, and his heart became cold for a moment.

Jiang Ying knew the relationship between Yan Qing and him, so she couldn't help looking at Jiang Xiaohan worriedly.

I saw Jiang Xiaohan lowered his eyes, unconsciously grabbed something with his right hand, and twirled it again.

But between breaths, Jiang Xiaohan withdrew from the feeling of being at a loss, and looked at He Liuyun again.

"Master He privately built a living ancestral hall for His Royal Highness, and when he learned that I found out, he wanted to destroy the evidence of the crime, so that more than [-] people inside were buried in the sea of ​​fire with the ancestral hall, and none of them survived. It's a pity that they were rushed to the place in time before the evidence could be destroyed. The divine guard camp stopped it." Jiang Xiaohan's gentle fireworks were completely buried by the extermination, and the whole person was very indifferent: "And Mr. He knew that the crime was inevitable, so he committed suicide in fear of crime."

He Liuyun's pupils suddenly shrank.

He never thought that Jiang Xiaohan would have the guts to force him to die.

"This Pingjiang government office is full of adults. I bumped in and committed crimes in the hands of adults. I was conceited, but I will lose if I lose anyway." He Liuyun regained the relaxed look just now, and finally A little unwillingness leaked from the corners of his brows and eyes: "Why did your lord suddenly want to put me to death?"

Jiang Xiaohan didn't answer, but just picked up a booklet from the desk and spread it on the table—it was the military record that Luo Suifeng copied for him.

He Liuyun couldn't help but took two steps forward and pressed the book one by one. The sword in Jiang Ying's hand was about to be unsheathed, but Jiang Xiaohan stopped him.

He Liuyun flipped back in disbelief, until he confirmed that the contents of this book were exactly the same as the one in his hand, then let go of his hand dejectedly.

"Master Jiang really has hands and eyes." He Liuyun suddenly laughed out loud, "It seems that the whole world will depend on Master Jiang in the future."

"Your Majesty has no choice but to rely on me." Jiang Xiaohan said indifferently, "Master He still doesn't know how to be loyal to the emperor."

"Loyalty?" He Liuyun seemed to have heard something interesting. He couldn't help laughing. After a long time, he said, "Master Jiang has been an official for more than ten years. Why is he still so naive? Loyalty, what is a monarch? Naturally, sitting The one on the high platform of Zichen Palace is the king."
