Neighboring school old enemy bows to me

Qiao Yue and the current crown prince are just acquaintances, after all, he is an old man related to the former crown prince, and he always knows how to avoid suspicion.

But for some unknown purpose, the prince has always been eager to win over Qiao Yue.

It's just that Qiao Yue was neither humble nor overbearing, neither hot nor cold, and he also cut off further thoughts.

This time, he took a superficial approach to send the invitation, but he didn't expect to actually invite people over.

In the past, he couldn't be invited to private banquets in the Eastern Palace—Qiao Yue always shied away by saying that he had a mission.

It is inconvenient for the crown prince to ask about Jin Yiwei's mission, so he can only let him go.

Seeing Qiao Yue's attendance, the Crown Prince sitting at the top had an inexplicable smile on his lips: "There is no case for Qianhu today? How dare you condescend to come to the banquet in this Palace? Or is it that Qianhu also has a mission to come here?" of?"

Jin Yiwei was notorious in the court, and when the prince said this, all the officials present looked at Qiao Yue with a bit of fear and wariness.

"Your Highness is joking." Qiao Yue smiled heartily, and saluted respectfully: "I took the time to come here today to give Your Highness a great gift."

"Great gift?" The crown prince raised the corners of his lips noncommittally: "Is that so? It's too much trouble for Qianhu."

After half a round of drinking, the prince walked down the high platform to drink with everyone, walked slowly to Qiao Yue's side and said, "Thousands of households have come here, do you have something to say to me?"

Qiao Yue nodded, straight to the point and whispered: "Please move your Highness, I have something important to tell you."

A few thoughts flashed in the prince's mind, he smiled and perfunctory some words to the officials present, and left his seat with Qiao Yue.

After entering the inner room, the prince sat down behind the case, and looked at Qiao Yue with a scrutinizing gaze: "Thousand households have something to say, just say it."

Qiao Yue didn't know how to eloquently draw it out, just passing by the intersection of Jixian Street, he snatched a few poems written by Guozijian.Just in time to use.

"This is a poem written by the students of the Imperial College, and it refers directly to a small case that happened recently." Qiao Yue presented it to the prince, "This case is very simple, but it involves the mother of the Imperial College student, and Jin Yiwei found out that this student It is inextricably related to his mother and an old case in the capital, I thought it over and over again, and didn't dare to make a rash decision, so I came here to inform His Highness."

Guozijian's poems are very appealing. After reading it hastily, the prince couldn't help sitting up: "Forcibly occupying a private house? An old case? What exactly is this?"

Qiao Yue said without evasion: "This matter is still Jin Yiwei's fault, His Highness also knows - Jin Yiwei often goes to the private sector to check and deal with housing estates, and expropriating a house in the capital is not a big deal - it just so happens that this person happens to be the former Ministry of Industry Xu Xian's wife, Xu Xian left a letter of death, which roughly tells the old story of the construction of Jing'an Hall."

The prince frowned immediately: "Where is that woman?"

Qiao Yue replied: "Still in prison."

The prince didn't speak, but a coldness flashed in his eyes.

Jing'an Hall is a bureau supervised by His Majesty. Qiao Yue found out that someone had left evidence and killed them to destroy the evidence, so why did he report it to him.

He didn't want to go into this muddy water.

Qiao Yue saw what the prince was thinking, and said with a smile: "In the past, it would be just to kill him, but his son is in the Imperial College, and there are many scholars who have made friends with him. Now they are posting the case everywhere, denouncing Jin Yiwei - His Highness also knows, This group of scholars has always been ignorant of the heights of heaven and earth. I heard that the evidence is still in the hands of the Xu family. If Xu's mother is really killed, this group of scholars will be angered. How should the old case end?"

The prince showed a faint smile: "This matter is indeed difficult, but this case has nothing to do with me, right? Why did Qianhu come to me?"

This case was set up by the emperor in order to get rid of the former prince. Although he took advantage of this case and picked up the position of the East Palace for nothing, he never joined hands with his father.

"Isn't it irrelevant?" Qiao Yue said with a slight smile, "Perhaps it's because I'm worrying too much. After all, if the old incident broke out and all the officials learned the truth and knew that the former crown prince was wronged, it might damage His Highness's reputation."

Above the court, who is the beneficiary and who is most likely to be the framer.

It's the easiest thing to do.

The former prince was abolished, and the biggest beneficiary was naturally his "current prince."

If the Dong Chuang incident happens, even if the crown prince has thousands of mouths, he will not be able to tell the dirty water on his body.

Moreover, this matter is related to His Majesty, if the Crown Prince forcibly distances himself from it, he will expose His Majesty's shortcomings and direct the disaster to the Emperor.

If you don't say a word, then such a big scapegoat will be carried by the emperor. Wherever you go, others will think that the former prince was framed by him...

The prince figured out the joints, and broke out in a cold sweat.

Qiao Yue said casually again: "Your Majesty acted out of love for his son that day. Now that the incident happened suddenly, if His Highness can step forward to suppress it for His Majesty, it is also because of the love between father and son."

Your Majesty succeeded in seizing the throne, and set up a plan to abolish his nephew, isn't it just to establish his own son?Now that the matter of the past has not been handled well, it is also a logical duty for the prince to take care of the father.

These few words penetrated into the prince's heart, he made up his mind, raised his eyes and said: "What should we do in the eyes of thousands of households?"

Qiao Yue clenched his fist lightly: "Let people go quietly. They have disappeared for so many years, and they certainly don't want to hold on to what happened back then. If they silence them at this time, the situation will easily get out of control."

"That's fine. On the surface, it's just that we didn't find out about this matter. It's just that Jin Yiwei caught the wrong person." The prince suddenly smiled: "If you release a thousand households from the imperial prison, you still need to inform this outsider?"

Qiao Yue cupped his hands, with a worried expression on his face, and said: "I dare not bother Your Highness, the prison is not covered by the Qiao family alone, people are not caught by the minister, and the minister is not easy to intervene."

The prince thought of the source of this matter, and said irritably: "Who caused this trouble? The emperor himself said that day that the innocent people are no longer involved in this case. Why is it that after so many days, someone has uncovered this old case again?"

Qiao Yue said with a smile: "I was not there at the time. I only knew that Li Zongqi had arrested him. He was very attentive to this case. I wanted to mediate this matter with him secretly, but Li Zongqi didn't know why, but he kept it under wraps." If you don't let me go...the minister has no choice but to disturb His Highness."

Hearing these words, Pang Ying's back felt chills, and she couldn't help raising her eyes to look at Qiao Yue a few more times.

Li Xiao went to trouble the Xu family just to save his breath, but Qiao Yue deliberately kept the matter hidden.

The prince has always been suspicious.

A simple case in the mind of a suspicious person will naturally look different.

Why did Li Xiao go to the Xu family to find fault?Why did they happen to find the events of the year?

Why did you hold him back and force the students to make a big fuss about it?

The Jing'an Hall is an old case, no one wants to bring it up again, and it has been peaceful for so many years.

Then it happened to be found out at this moment, did the Li family want to use this as a trick for the introduction?

This was a trivial matter, but Qiao Yue said it with a smile in a few words, and the Li family obviously became a hidden danger for the prince.

At this moment, the prince probably already has some precautions and suspicions towards the Li family.

While Pang Ying was in a state of confusion, Qiao Yue had exchanged cups with the crown prince and had a lot of thoughtful words.

"Brother Yue." The crown prince patted Qiao Yue on the shoulder, and changed his address: "This time, it's thanks to you. In fact, it's been many years since that happened. Who doesn't know how to turn big things into small things? You go Calm down and appease, Bengong is at ease."

Qiao Yue walked out of the palace gate with a smile, the moonlight was clear, streaming on his cloak, he looked a little alienated: "I know how to measure."

"Since Father has made a decree not to pursue it anymore, no matter when, I will not bring up the old matter again." The prince's tone changed subtly: "But the evidence held by the Xu family..."

"I understand." Qiao Yue's voice was slightly hoarse: "I... will handle it well."

The moment he stepped into the Eastern Palace, he should have known that he was here to make a deal.

What he wanted was to settle the matter and make the prince suspicious of the Li family by the way, but what he wanted to hand over were clues and hopes to counter the case.

At this time, Li Xiao paced in the prison and said angrily: "Let her go?! She has a serious case, why should we let her go!"

Originally, he just wanted to cause a little trouble for the Xu family, but behind the scenes, old things were involved!

He felt with all his heart that these two orphans and widows hiding in the capital would definitely not be able to escape from his grasp!

Who knew that Nie Zhenfu would personally come over and ask him to release him? !

"You know that he has a big case behind him, and you dare to provoke him? Isn't this making the prince unhappy!"

Li Xiao stared: "It's because we knew there was a case behind him that we silenced him!"

"You only know how to silence!" Nie Zhenfu scolded coldly: "He may be the one who wants to win the championship, but you still go to provoke him. Now many scholars in the Imperial College are writing poems and essays. Everyone knows about it! You still don't want to let him go." People, are you planning to kill someone, let His Majesty know about it!"

It's too late to cover up the case, if this gang of ignorant scholar bastards are really offended, I'm afraid it will be a big mess.

"Not only do you have to release him, but you also need to make an apology respectfully!" Nie Zhen caressed, "He has a land deed, and you arrested him indiscriminately, shouldn't you apologize?"

Aunt Xu was released by Jin Yiwei respectfully and escorted home, and got 100 taels of silver as an apology.

Everyone in the Guozijian didn't know the inside story, and they all held their heads up and felt happy, thinking that Jin Yiwei was afraid of their essays.

He Zhiyang was also very proud, and said to Yu Chacha carelessly: "I'll send you a few essays, don't you think so?"

Yu Chacha was speechless, and couldn't help laughing: "No... Brother Yang, do you really think that this matter was resolved because of your sour articles? Why did we care about reputation? It was our Qianhu who went to find the prince, so we sent him away. let go."

He Zhiyang was stunned for a moment: "Looking for the prince?"

He thought that this matter was just Qiao Yue's words, so why did it even happen to the prince.

"That's right! You don't know it yet. If you go to prison with a case on your back, you will definitely die." Yu Chacha said in a low voice, "The commanding officer said that we will silence him. We, Qianhu and the commanding officer, will stand firm. He was fined to kneel all night... If someone else would have recognized him, right? In the end, our Qianhu actually went to find the prince secretly, and jumped over the commander to act... Tsk tsk, I really can't see what our Qianhu picture is?"

What is he drawing?

He Zhiyang didn't know either, but a ridiculous thought suddenly flashed in his mind.

He shook his head, drove away his sentimental thoughts, and said in a daze: "Then... will there be any trouble if he goes to find the prince?"

"Naturally, it's all right. This is Qianhu's stepping stone to His Highness the Crown Prince. When the Prince knows about it, he will support him even more."

Yu Chacha lowered his voice and said, "It's just that we Qianhu have always avoided the prince, but this time, I can't understand it even more."

He Zhiyang lowered his head and dealt with Yu Chacha confusedly.

Why did Qiao Yue do something that would do all harm but no benefit...

He doesn't want to, and shouldn't be involved in the vortex of the prince.

Even if he didn't know what Qiao Yue was planning, at least he contributed to it.

He Zhiyang's long eyelashes trembled, and he suddenly remembered the call to action hanging on the screen wall.

Those cursing, insinuating, and ironic words were posted on the street, hitting the eyes of all kinds of people.

Some people sneered, some cursed coldly.

He Zhiyang suddenly felt wronged for Qiao Yue.

Yes, he never thought Jin Yiwei was a kind person, but as far as this matter was concerned, Qiao Yue really helped them.

He Zhiyang thought silently, what he said still counted.

From now on, he will definitely not have any interaction with Qiao Yue, he will never be self-aware, and he will never bother Qiao Yue again...

But he also didn't want Qiao Yue to be reviled by irrelevant people and misunderstood by the people in the capital.

What Qiao Yue did was to lick blood with the tip of a knife. If there are too many curses, what if they become true?

The sky is already dark, thick clouds are rolling, and the mountains and rain are about to come.

He Zhiyang was tumbling in his own emotions, he didn't hear Yu Chacha's perplexed questioning, and ran out in big strides, panting to the screen wall, to expose the crooked poems posted by his classmates alone.

The cold wind whizzed past, and a lot of paper was immediately blown up, floating on the road and blown by the wind.

He Zhiyang cursed secretly, and helplessly squatted down to pick it up.

The black boots stopped in front of him, stepping on the paper he was about to pick up.

He Zhiyang looked up, and happened to meet Qiao Yue's dark and heavy gaze.
