Inscription of Different Cases

The next day, Han Lang was going to the capital for business, and He Yijiu followed.He said that Anping didn't have much business recently, and he couldn't make a lot of money even leading a group of minions to fight around. He happened to go to the capital to see if the God of Wealth passed by.

The two set off in the morning, and just arrived at the gate of the capital at this moment, when they saw a man who looked like a servant waiting there with a sedan chair ready, he bowed to the two of them and said, "Master Han, Mr. He, my master invites you two Let's talk about it in the palace."

"Your master?" Han Lang asked puzzled, wondering if it was Yao Xinlian again?In the end, the little servant said politely: "It's His Royal Highness Zhao Wang."

The two looked at each other, and He Yijiu mouthed: "I really found it."

Han Lang was also quite speechless, feeling that he was really like a rabbit being watched by an eagle, with nowhere to hide, and he didn't know how many eyeliners those people had planted around him.But there is no other way now, the servant has already opened the car curtain, and is waiting for him to go in.Finally He Yijiu came up and whispered to Han Lang, "No problem, let's go."

This is a dark sedan chair that can seat four people. When the curtain is put on, the inside cannot be seen clearly from the outside, but the street view can be viewed at will from inside.But with the idea of ​​"getting on a thief ship", the two naturally didn't bother to enjoy the scenery.Only the sound of the noisy market outside gradually subsided, leaving only the sound of wind and the crisp footsteps of bearers on the stone pavement.The two knew that they had left the place where ordinary people lived, and were walking towards the residence of dignitaries.

What kind of character is this King Zhao?Neither Han Lang nor He Yijiu were from the court, so they knew nothing about him.Han Lang only vaguely remembered that this Zhao Wang was the younger brother of the current Holy Majesty, that is, the second prince, and he had a deep relationship with the Holy Majesty, and was deeply trusted by the Holy Majesty.In addition, Yao Xinlian is the daughter of this King Zhao, and if she can raise such a lively and smart girl, I think this King Zhao will not be too harsh and difficult to get along with...

Various thoughts were running around in Han Lang's mind, and he didn't talk to He Yijiu along the way, looking preoccupied.As for He Yijiu, he has never been a muffled person like Han Lang, and he has already started talking to the boy at this moment.The little servant was flattered by him, and immediately said proudly: "My master is a big man in the court, and the door is always crowded with people. Those officials, no matter how high they are, have to come to worship him .”

After all, he looked sideways at the two of them, as if he wanted to know how much face his master had to specially invite him.

"I heard that your master is at odds with King Xian?" He Yijiu pretended to ask casually.

The boy answered more happily than expected, pretending to be mysterious and said: "You can't talk about this matter, but...it's no secret, and everyone in Beijing knows it. His Royal Highness does not do business, he only loves flowers, birds, fish and insects, swimming Playing in the mountains and rivers, I often don’t stay in Beijing all year round. A few years ago on the Lantern Festival, the Holy Majesty hosted a banquet in the palace. His Highness the Xianwang and my master had a dispute at the banquet, which made the Holy Majesty unhappy. And this matter will spread throughout the capital."

As he was talking, the sedan chair had already stopped, and the servant hurriedly jumped down to ask the two people to get off the sedan chair.Just as Han Lang stood firm on the ground, he saw only the middle three doors of the majestic red lacquer gates of King Zhao's Mansion were open, and there were a few people standing on both sides presenting greeting cards, stretching their necks to look at the sedan chair they had just stopped.Seeing the young man leading the two of them inward, there was some commotion in the crowd. The servants shouted the orders from the master at the same time, and gathered around to put the invitation into the young man's hands.

The little servant was obviously not surprised, and just said: "His Royal Highness Zhao Wang has a distinguished guest, please wait a little longer." After finishing speaking, he waved a few servants to stop the crowd, and he walked in the front to lead the crowd. On the way, Han Lang and He Yijiu were brought straight into the front hall of King Zhao's Mansion.

As soon as the two of them sat down, the servant girl brought tea and retreated with the servant.Han Lang looked at the layout of the house, and found that this place was not as luxurious as Yunhai Villa, so he couldn't help feeling a little fond of this King Zhao.At this time there was some movement in the garden behind, the two of them looked sideways, and saw Yao Xinlian in a strong outfit, holding a long sword and practicing martial arts in the courtyard.The glazed tiles on the roof are shining brightly, the flowers and trees in the courtyard are full of fragrance, and the woman's graceful sword posture also makes people feel pleasing to the eye.

It's just that after watching for a long time, He Yijiu started to frown, stretched out a hand and knocked on the back of Han Lang's head, pretending to be angry and said: "What are you looking at, do you look good at me? Her soul has been hooked by her."

Han Lang turned his face and wanted to scold him, "Aren't you watching too?" But after thinking about it carefully, He Yijiu's words were interesting, so he couldn't help laughing: "Yes, yes, you are the prettiest. There are many manners."

He Yijiu took advantage of the opportunity to pinch the softest piece of flesh on his buttocks, leaned into his ear and whispered, "No matter how good-looking you are, I can't compare to you, especially when you look like I made water out of you here, it's just... ..."

Han Lang was in a hurry, if it wasn't because he was still in someone else's house, he would have fought He Yijiu immediately.He Yijiu was amused, and lowered his voice to deliberately say obscene words to embarrass him. Han Lang's ears were reddened by the words, but he saw a servant passing by outside, so he couldn't do anything.Later, he had an idea, pretended to bend over to pick up something, and then pinched He Yijiu's life forcefully. Before the other party could cry out in pain, Han Lang quickly covered He Yijiu's mouth with his eyes, and directly The scream was stuffed back into the throat.

So King Zhao saw this scene when he came in. He Yijiu sat aside with a sluggish expression, while Han Lang bowed politely to him with a spring breeze on his face: "Caomin Han Lang has seen His Royal Highness Zhao Wang."

He Yijiu also stood up with his legs crossed and bowed, "Caomin He Yijiu, I have met His Royal Highness King Zhao."

"You two don't need to be too polite, just sit down." King Zhao said with a smile.

The three of them sat down separately, and Han Lang had time to look at King Zhao's face.I saw that this person had a kind face, about fifty years old, with a round face, splayed eyebrows, and a smile in his eyes, but he didn't smile deeply like the virtuous king Yao Qi.He was wearing a black silk gown with plain attire, which made him look like an ordinary court official, not eye-catching.

When he opened his mouth, his tone was very peaceful: "To be honest, since my daughter had a relationship with Mr. Han in Anping a few months ago, she often mentioned to me that even Yu Shaoqing from Dali Temple has been full of praise for Mr. Han recently. .Nowadays, there are young talents like Mr. Han who are not self-interested and upright. This king admires him so much, but he has no chance to get acquainted. Hearing that the two came to the capital, this king invited them to talk about it for a while. , If there is any disturbance, I am really sorry."

"Where is it?" Han Lang responded hastily, "Thanks to my lord's wrong love, this junior is really terrified."

Seeing his polite manner, King Zhao nodded repeatedly.As for the silent person next to him, he was dressed vulgarly and was not the focus of his conversation today, so he didn't pay attention.After the two of them were courteous, King Zhao cut straight to the point and said, "May I ask you, did you meet a man who called himself Yao Qi in Anping a few months ago?"

Han Lang hesitated for a moment: "I have indeed seen it, but this person should be..."

King Zhao said, "It's the virtuous king, that is, the Seventh Prince."

Han Lang was a little nervous at once, thinking that it was impossible for King Zhao to bring the topic here for no reason.Only then did He Yijiu open his mouth and said: "I heard that my lord and the virtuous king are at odds, and Ling Qianjin has also hinted at us in every possible way. She really wants us to help deal with the virtuous king?"

Zhao Wang looked slightly stunned, Han Lang felt that the words were really abrupt, so he hurriedly stepped on He Yijiu's foot to remind him not to say a few words.But Zhao Wang was not angry, after a while he smiled and said: "Young Master He is worthy of being a man in the rivers and lakes, so speak quickly."

"I'm overwhelmed." He Yijiu said with a fake smile.

"Actually, Mr. He is right. I did have this consideration when I invited the two of you." King Zhao took a sip of tea calmly and continued, "It's not about dealing with anything, but King Xian often goes out. Outside, his whereabouts are uncertain, which is really tricky. I heard that he and Mr. Han have met, and I seem to appreciate it. I just want to trouble you two. If you know his movements, please tell me in time."

He Yijiu narrowed his eyes slightly, seeing that Han Lang wanted to speak, he immediately took the lead and said, "To put it bluntly, let us monitor the virtuous king?"

Zhao Wang frowned slightly, he already felt that this person was hostile to him.That's right, He Yijiu is not a humble gentleman like Han Lang, who has been walking around the rivers and lakes all year round, and after all, he has some gangster air.If he takes a step back, he must take a step forward, and he doesn't understand any manners.However, King Zhao had some complaints in his heart, but he still kept his demeanor, and he felt that He Yijiu did it on purpose, trying to annoy himself and give up the idea of ​​cooperating with them.

He Yijiu really thought so, but he underestimated Zhao Wang's ability. This man has been struggling in the palace for decades, and he has been trained so well. How can he be so foolish?He only heard Zhao Wang change the subject, and said: "You two don't need to worry about anything, this is just a trivial matter. Mr. Han is fair and admirable, but it is inevitable to cause trouble in the process of investigating the case. This king is somewhat capable in the court. From now on, if Master Han needs anything, this king will help him with all his strength."

Han Lang thought in his heart: This is the exchange condition.This Zhao Wang is really shrewd, knowing that he is dedicated to investigating the case, he will definitely not refuse.Thinking back to what He Yijiu had mentioned to him back then, if he didn't have a big person as his backer, he might have been crushed to death like a bug.But who knows if he is a bug in the eyes of King Zhao?

He Yijiu turned his face and gave Han Lang a questioning look.The latter nodded secretly. Today, there is no way out. Although he can also give up the Baochangba case and let it go, he cannot do it.

He Yijiu seemed to sigh slightly, but didn't say anything.Han Lang gratefully pinched the back of his hand, but he grasped it instead.Zhao Wang noticed these small actions of the two of them, but he continued to drink tea with a calm expression, as if he didn't care.After a short while, Han Lang got up and bowed to King Zhao and said, "Thank you for your appreciation, the grassroots should do their best."

Zhao Wang stroked his beard with a smile on his face, and said three "good" words in a row.At the moment, the servants are ordered to keep two people for lunch.Han Lang couldn't refuse, so he could only agree.

At the dinner table, Zhao Wang said a lot of compliments, Han Lang could only nod his head mechanically, he didn't know how to eat, and just ate the food He Yijiu gave him in a daze.Seeing that the two of them behaved intimately, like brothers and sisters, Zhao Wang couldn't help but deepen his gaze.It wasn't until the meal was over and the cups and bowls were taken away that he leisurely brought up the business.

"Master Han has always wanted to know the truth about the Baochangba case, right?"

Han Lang nodded hastily and said, "I hope my lord can give me more advice."

"Since Mr. Han has agreed to help, then I can speak more openly." Zhao Wang paused, "Chen Biao has been charged with a lot of crimes. He set up a salt farm privately and colluded with people from the rivers and lakes to buy and sell people. Although the people involved have also been arrested according to the law However, the whereabouts of the illicit salt smelted is unknown. Chen Bi confessed that he had exchanged silver, but the amount was wrong. Yunhai Villa also bribed him with a huge amount of property, and it is also unknown where the money was sent. Dali Temple is investigating , but found that Chen Biao died in prison, and the clue was directly broken here."

"Chen Biao is dead?" Han Lang was shocked.

King Zhao nodded: "Suicide."

"This... All in all, there used to be a batch of private salt, plus a lot of valuable silver taels missing? Who would need these things..."

"This is the biggest doubt. Chen Biao has dealt with many people, including the virtuous king. But the sage has no doubts in the virtuous king, and does not think he will be involved." Zhao Wang slightly sighed, "I am not Doubt the King Xian, but he is a son of the clan after all, clearing up the suspicion as soon as possible will not cause turmoil in the court."

Han Lang nodded his head to express his understanding. At this moment, King Zhao turned to He Yijiu and said, "Young Master He, according to my observation, the fundamental purpose of King Xian's contact with you is you. Do you know what's going on?"

Han Lang couldn't help but said to He Yijiu: "It seems to be true, King Xian often asks me about you."

He Yijiu shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "I don't know, maybe I think I can fight, so I want to be a guard."

King Zhao and Han Lang didn't quite believe it, but after thinking about it carefully, they felt that He Yijiu, a prodigal son, had no idea where he could arouse the interest of King Xian.In the end, it was King Zhao who changed the subject, looked Han Lang up and down a few times, and said with an inscrutable smile: "Speaking of which, Mr. Han, my little girl has been thinking about you since I met you a few times. Let me see, for example, choose an auspicious day , let’s do this marriage.”

He Yijiu's jaw almost fell to the ground, Han Lang also jumped up with a frightened sound, without even caring about etiquette, he shook his head repeatedly and said, "Your Excellency Zhao Wang, there must be some misunderstanding in this, I am just friends with Princess Yao relationship, and the disparity in status, it's really..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a woman outside shouting loudly: "What are you talking about!"

The next moment, Yao Xinlian rushed in with a sword in her hand, and the two maids at the door refused to stop her: "He doesn't like me, so I said forget it, why did you bring it up again!"

When King Zhao saw her coming, he straightened his face and said, "Take back the sword! The girl's family is so reckless all day long, how decent is she!"

He Yijiu simply got up to add fuel and jealousy: "This is absolutely impossible. Mr. Han already has a sweetheart, and the two are in love. It's time to talk about marriage. It's better not to delay Princess Yao's lifelong event."

King Zhao was besieged by them one by one from the left and one from the right. Although Yao Xinlian withdrew his sword, he still showed no reluctance.There is no way, he pondered for a while before saying: "Never mind, never mind, as you said, life-long affairs should not be hasty, let's talk about it slowly, talk about it slowly."

In the end, everyone was made a little unhappy. With Zhao Wang's identity, it was impossible for him to lower his airs and apologize to Han Lang.And judging by his reaction, it seems that he has a well-thought-out plan for this marriage.Han Lang and He Yijiu were even more distressed, and they couldn't tell the truth directly in front of King Zhao. In the end, Han Lang made some excuses dryly, and He Yijiu looked gloomy, as if he was very angry.

This jealousy lasted until the two of them left King Zhao's Mansion and traveled halfway across the capital to find an ordinary inn to stay in, and then they broke out in one breath.

At this time, it was dark outside and it was already night.The lights in the inn cabin were flickering, and after dinner, Han Lang crossed his legs to recuperate his internal energy as usual, while He Yijiu wandered around the room not knowing what to do.The two of them didn't talk much, and when they were about to go to bed, Han Lang got up and started packing the official documents for tomorrow, while He Yijiu ran downstairs and asked Xiao Er to bring hot water for them to wash.

"In the end, I got under King Zhao's command," Han Lang folded the official document and put it in his backpack, sighing, "Father reminded me to keep my duty and stay away from the temple. It's too difficult to do."

He Yijiu was filled with jealousy, and said dissatisfied: "I told you not to interfere, don't interfere, if you don't care, someone will take care of it, but you don't listen. At the same time, you want to clear up your grievances and protect yourself. Everything in the world will let you Take it?"

Han Lang smiled helplessly, he was not stupid, it could be heard that He Yijiu was losing his temper about other things.Whether Baochangba's case will be investigated or not, the two have discussed countless times before, and they have already reached a conclusion.He Yijiu also promised that no matter what choice Han Lang made, he would be with him, so there was absolutely no need for the other party to come out to make trouble at this time.Presumably this person is in a bad mood, he must be worrying about the marriage that King Zhao suddenly proposed.

Han Lang couldn't help thinking that what he did today was really ugly.Rejecting Zhao Wang's kindness and embarrassing Yao Xinlian, let's not mention these things for now, hurting He Yijiu's heart is what makes him feel guilty the most.The relationship between the two is a foregone conclusion, but I can't show this feeling to others, and I have to hide it, and it seems so reluctant to even refuse the marriage.But what can I do?He Yijiu is used to being carefree and carefree, no one cares about what he does, but himself... Sigh.

He could only find a way to compensate He Yijiu first.

At this moment He Yijiu was already lying down, Han Lang took off his outer robe, folded his quilt and stuffed it aside, and took the initiative to get into He Yijiu's bed.It's early summer, and it would definitely be hot for the two of them to squeeze into the bed, but Han Lang curled up next to He Yijiu in a well-mannered manner, put one hand on his belly button, and stroked it soothingly.

He Yijiu knew that he was guilty and came to please himself, and the jealousy in his heart disappeared by [-]% to [-]% in an instant.Immediately, he grabbed Han Lang's fidgeting hand, pulled him in front of him and asked, "How many times has Yao Xinlian pursued you?"

Han Lang's expression froze slightly, and he answered honestly, "Several times."

"Did you expect it from the beginning?"

Han Lang's lips moved, like a whisper: "I...not."

"Don't lie to me," He Yijiu tapped him on the forehead, "I brought you in after all, you didn't like men before, and you never thought of being with men, did you? "

This time Han Langli was much more upright, and said with a slack in his neck, "But I like you."

He Yijiu's heart melted immediately, he held Han Lang's head, and kissed him enough first.The two bodies overlapped in one place, and the quilt was also kicked away, He Yijiu let go of his hand after some lingering, licked Han Lang's slightly swollen lips, and said with a smile: "I'm pretty good today. "

Han Lang's face was slightly embarrassing: "I just feel that I can't confess to others, and I feel a little sorry for you."

"Yeah," He Yijiu took the opportunity to slap his ass, "I haven't taken the initiative to admit my mistake."

"Actually, it's not like I haven't said it before." Han Lang touched his nose in embarrassment, "When I first met Yao Xinlian, I pulled you and said that you were my sweetheart."

He Yijiu really forgot about this, and only remembered it when Han Lang mentioned it, he rolled his eyes, and smiled secretly: "You were so scared by the girl that you couldn't choose what to say, you're useless. "

Han Lang's face turned red: "Fart! At that time, I had a little affection for you, just a little bit, and I didn't know it myself."

He Yijiu was amused by his stupid look of wanting to talk about love but didn't know how to say it. With a big wave of his hand, he pulled him into his arms and said, "Oh, why did I pick up such an idiot like you."

Han Lang hadn't had time to say anything, when suddenly his body was heavy, and He Yijiu was already on top of him, leaning against his face and said happily, "We haven't had a good time, today is our chance."
