Ximen Qing guessed what his father meant almost immediately. His father had made up his mind to help Chen Jingji, but he was afraid of hurting him, so he kicked him out of the house.
I feel a little uncomfortable.Since the old man doesn't want him to be implicated, can he just watch his father go to prison or be sent to a white-haired man by... a black-haired man!How could Dad not understand his heart at all?
With a wry smile, Ximen Qing is not in a hurry now.Before, he didn't understand his father's determination, and he had some fluke thoughts, but now he understands that all he can do is to find a way to keep his father and Chen Jingji.
It's not impossible to do this at all.
Ximen Qing stood up from the ground, and sat comfortably on the chair next to him, "Father, let's clean up Jingji tonight, look at him, he probably hasn't eaten well or slept well these days, It really hurt him."
Ximenda stared, "You are no longer a member of the Ximen family, nor are you my son. You don't need to take care of our Ximen family's affairs."
Ximen Qing smiled helplessly, "Father, I'll go to Gao Yanei in a while, I guess if he is willing to help with this matter, it shouldn't be a big deal. You'd better take good care of Chen Jingji."
"This..." Ximenda looked at Ximen Qing suspiciously. He only knew that Ximen Qing went to the post station every day recently, but he didn't know the relationship between Ximen Qing and Gao Kan.
In his opinion, Gao Yanei should not even want to talk to such little people as them, so how could he help them.
"Is it really possible? Don't be too embarrassing..." Ximenda hesitated for a long time before saying this.After all, who has the hope of living and is unwilling to wait for death, besides, he hasn't seen his grandson born yet, so even if he dies, he can't close his eyes.
Naturally, Ximen Qing wanted to comfort his father, and when his father finally gave up on the idea just now, he went out, called Dai'an as he walked out, and asked what was going on, and the request letter Where is the letter from Captain Yang to help?
Dai'an said that he had never seen Duwei Yang at all, and that the letter was still with him, and then handed the letter to Ximen Qing.
Knowing that the letter was a disaster, Ximen Qing quickly tore the letter into pieces, and only then did he hear what Dai'an said about the rest.
But in fact, Dai'an didn't know what was going on, and only said that it seemed to be related to the matter of Lin Chong, the instructor of the Forbidden Army.When he said this, Ximen Qing remembered the news Gao Kan had received before, that Lin Chong broke into the Baihu Hall with a knife, which was a serious crime of treason.
But how did Captain Yang get involved?Is it really related to Lin Chong, or something else?
Ximenqing now has too little information to make a judgment, but one thing is certain, since this matter is related to Lin Chong, it must be Gao Qiu Gao Taiwei.
If Ximen Qing had three points to save himself just now, now he has five points after such an analysis. If he wants to intercede with Taiwei Gao, what is more direct and effective than starting with Gao Kan.
But thinking of Gao Kan's attitude yesterday, Ximen Qing was a little worried.Drinking friends like Gao Kan are the most unreliable, he may not take himself seriously.
If it was someone else, it might be okay to give him some gold and silver, but Gao Kan probably has no idea what silver is, so how could he help himself because of silver.
Without giving money, Ximen Qing only thought of female sex, but this female sex...
While Ximen Qing was thinking, he went out, and was about to take the sedan chair to the post station, when he saw a woman next to her poking her head, looking carefully, it was Yingchun or someone else.
In an instant, Ximen Qing thought about what happened yesterday, and Gao Kan seemed to like Li Ping'er very much.
Pausing in his tracks, Ximen Qing hesitated for a second, then turned and walked towards Yingchun.
Seeing Ximen Qing coming over, Yingchun was the first to explain: "I saw that the officials were very noisy here, so I came out to take a look. Just now I saw a few large carts approaching, and the drivers spoke with a Beijing accent, but the people who went to the capital came back? "
After Yingchun said this, Ximenqing understood one thing, that is how his father knew that Chen Jingji was here.It turned out that there was such a big commotion outside just now that even Yingchun was alarmed, it's no wonder my father didn't notice it.
After glaring at Dai'an, Dai'an also knew that he hadn't handled this matter well, so he immediately stood aside with his head shrunk.
Ximen Qing did not pursue the right or wrong of this matter, he said to Yingchun: "The person who went to Beijing has come back, I was going to tell your wife about this matter, this matter is very bad !"
"What's wrong?" Yingchun asked anxiously.
Ximen Qing asked, "Where's your wife?"
Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Yingchun ran back home quickly, and said that Li Ping'er was waiting for Ximen Qing at home and asked Ximen Qing to go.
Ximen Qing followed Yingchun into the Huafu, and came to the hall in a short while.
In the hall, Li Ping'er was walking back and forth in a hurry, when he saw Ximen Qing, he immediately said: "Officer, what happened, but the matter of begging for help can't be done?"
Ximen Qing didn't speak immediately, but looked at Li Ping'er deeply, as if he wanted to engrave Li Ping'er in his mind.
After what happened yesterday, Li Ping'er originally resented Ximen Qing a little bit, but when he was roasted by such a strong gaze, those thoughts were immediately reduced to ashes, leaving only a heart full of shyness and a touch of sweetness.
At this moment, Ximen Qing suddenly hugged Li Ping'er tightly, as if Li Ping'er would disappear if he let go.
Li Ping'er's breath was filled with the faint scent of soap from Ximen Qing's body, and his face turned red instantly, struggling to get out of Ximen Qing's embrace.
"Don't move. This may be the last time I hug you. From now on..." Ximen Qing's voice was very low, with a kind of deep pain.
Li Ping'er was frightened by Ximen Qing like this, and stopped struggling, and asked in a low voice: "Officer, what happened?"
Ximen Qing bowed his head and kissed Li Ping'er lightly, then let go of Li Ping'er, "Don't worry about it, I will handle it alone if there is anything wrong, and I will never let you be wronged." After finishing speaking, he quickly Step out.
How could Li Ping'er let Ximen Qing leave like this? She grabbed Ximen Qing's hand, tears streaming down her face, "Officer, what's going on, are you trying to kill me?"
Ximen Qing wanted to break free from Li Ping'er's hand, but Li Ping'er hugged Ximen Qing's waist from behind, crying uncontrollably.
Ximen Qing let out a long sigh, then turned around to wipe Li Ping'er's tears, and said, "Dai'an just came back this morning, saying that Yang Duwei's family and my in-laws, Chen's family, were all implicated, and now they are all in jail. , if it doesn't work out, even I...
However, since I said I want to help the lady, I will definitely help.I know Gao Yanei, so I will ask him now, even if I die, I will still ask for his help. "
With that said, Ximen Qing pulled Li Ping'er's hand away, and wanted to go outside.
Ximen Qing's words were nonsensical, Li Ping'er was only thinking about Hua Zixu's matter, and naturally thought that Yang Duwei and the Chen family were implicated and imprisoned for helping him, and now Ximen Qing said that there would be Her life was in danger, she was both moved and guilty.
If she had known this earlier, she would rather...
"Officer, that Gao Yameni seems to be very difficult to get along with." Li Ping'er said worriedly.
"Hey!" Ximen Qing sighed, but immediately said worriedly to Li Ping'er: "By the way, no matter if I succeed or fail, don't go to me. Also, if I really, really come out What's the matter, you leave Qinghe County immediately, don't be seen by Gao Yanei, otherwise..."
Li Ping'er felt that Gao Kan looked at her strangely yesterday, as if he wanted to eat her, but now she turned pale when she heard Ximen Qing's words, "But, but that Gao Yanei treated me..."
"Don't worry, I will do my best to protect you." After saying that, Ximen Qing wanted to go out.
This time Li Ping'er didn't stop him, because her mind was in a mess with all kinds of thoughts flying, she was at a loss and didn't know what to do.
Ximen Qing walked slowly, but watched Li Ping'er's reaction out of the corner of his eyes.This Li Ping'er looks pretty good, normally, he would definitely play with her, but now compared with his own father's life, she is far from enough.
He is very sympathetic, but he has something he loves more.
Seeing that he was about to walk out the door, Ximen Qing frowned slightly. Did he make a mistake in his calculation?If it was an ordinary woman, if she sacrificed so much for her, she would have to stop herself, unless, unless Li Ping'er didn't have any affection for her.
is it possible?Ximen Qing's brows turned cold, could it be that he hunted geese all day long, and was slapped in the eye by a geese today, and Li Ping'er and himself were just playing tricks on the occasion?
If that's the case, don't blame him for being ungrateful.Dad must be saved, no matter what method is used and what price is paid!
Just when Ximen Qing's thoughts changed slightly, Li Ping'er suddenly shouted: "Officer, I'll go with you." After saying that, Li Ping'er followed.
All the expressions on Ximen Qing's face disappeared immediately, and all were replaced by worry, and he turned around and said, "What are you going to do, you don't know that Gao Yanei treats you..."
Li Ping'er bowed profusely, her face full of relief after accepting her fate, "The officials may not know that my family used to be a big family in the capital, but because of some incidents, I had to escape from the capital.
Back then when I married Hua Zixu, it was entirely because the eunuch Hua forced me to say something, and I wanted to be blessed.
Now, since Gao Yanei has pity on me, why not do it.Gao Yanei and Hua Zixu are the same, they are both people I don't like, and it's the same to marry anyone, not to mention Gao Yanei can help me with the officials. "
Speaking of this, Li Ping'er smiled sweetly, "Perhaps following Gao Yanei, I don't have to live this kind of worrying life anymore. Officer, I'm tired, so let's do this, and I've tasted a marriage with Hua Zixu.
As for the relationship between officials and people, I am not blessed. In my next life, I only hope to meet officials first. "
"My lady..." Ximen Qing called out affectionately.
Li Ping'er smiled back, as if she really wanted to open up, and walked outside Ximen Qing.
In the post station, Gao Kan also just got up, while drinking the hangover soup, while holding his head to look outside, he didn't know what he was thinking.
Mustache stood aside, looking outside anxiously. He knew who Gao Kan was waiting for, and he only hoped that Ximen Qing would come quickly, otherwise it would be him again.
In the mustache praying to God, Gao Kan put the tea bowl on the table with a snap and asked, "What time is it?"
"It's almost noon, are you hungry? I'll go and prepare lunch for you." Knowing that Gao Kan was going to lose his temper, Xiao Huzi quickly found a reason and rushed out.
When Ximen Qing came with Li Ping'er, he happened to see Xiao Huzi rushing out in a hurry, and hurriedly asked him where Gao Kan was.
Mustache had never noticed that Ximen Qing looked so pleasing to the eye, and immediately pointed out the direction for Ximen Qing, and then went to prepare lunch with a smile. Now, it should be sunny after the rain.
Ximen Qing and Li Ping'er came to the living room, facing Gao Kan, but Gao Kan's face didn't look so good.
"But a headache?" Ximen Qing asked with concern as Gao Kan supported his head.
Gao Kan didn't speak, just looked at Li Ping'er.
Li Ping'er was forced by Gao Kan's gaze and wanted to back away, but when she thought of the purpose of her coming, she bowed Yingying and saluted Gao Kan, "Yesterday my concubine was rude in the yamen, and today I am here to apologize."
Gao Kan still didn't speak, which made Li Ping'er a little embarrassed, neither stood up nor stayed, his face was flushed.
Ximen Qing was also a little uncertain about what Gao Kan meant. Didn't he like Li Ping'er yesterday, why did he have no reaction when he saw Li Ping'er now?
Li Ping'er couldn't be allowed to stay like this forever, Ximen Qing stretched out his hand to support Li Ping'er, and then said to Gao Kan: "Why, are you unhappy that Mrs. Li came to see you?"
Gao Kan glanced at the two of them for a few moments, then suddenly smiled with a bland smile and said, "I'm happy, how can I be unhappy." As he spoke, he grabbed Li Ping'er's hand and put it in his arms, He hugged Li Ping'er in his arms.
Li Ping'er exclaimed, but after realizing what happened, she didn't struggle, but blushed.
Seeing Gao Kan's reaction, Ximen Qing breathed a sigh of relief. He thought his guess was wrong just now, "Ms. Li has something to ask you, and I brought her here just now. Don't bully her."
Ximen Qing spoke half-truths and half-false words.
"Oh? Is that so? I have something to ask? But I'm not very happy today. If it makes me happy, I can talk about anything." As he said that, Gao Kan started to play tricks on Li Ping'er.
Li Ping'er had expected this to happen, and she was not a young girl, so she didn't panic too much, but realized that Ximen Qing was still watching, and it made her very ashamed to see her like this, so she looked up at Ximen Qing. She glanced beggingly, hoping that he could leave here.
Ximen Qing actually saw everything when he was having fun with his friends before, so he didn't feel too embarrassed, but since Li Ping'er didn't want him to see it, he naturally didn't want to stay here, so he said to Gao Kan: "I'm going to the kitchen to see what delicious food is prepared today."
After speaking, he was about to turn around and leave.
"Wait." Gao Kan suddenly said, "Brother, why should you be taboo about this? I'm about to ask my brother for some tips. Wouldn't it be nice for us to play together?"
As he said that, he had almost peeled Li Ping'er.
Li Ping'er was so ashamed that her whole body turned red, she lay in his arms as if she was dead.
It's not that Ximen Qing hasn't played with friends before, but he always feels weird when facing Li Ping'er and Gao Kan.He wanted to leave, but Gao Kan didn't want him to leave at all, Ximen Qing really felt inexplicably inappropriate to stay together.
Gao Kan saw Ximen Qing's eyelids drooping and not moving, and he didn't care about Ximen Qing, so he started to move, and it seemed to show something, he made it very loudly.
Ximen Qing had never seen any battle before, his eyes were on his nose, his nose was on his mouth, and he sat on the side as if he was asleep.He was already drunk, and he was worried and anxious all morning. At some point, he actually fell asleep.
When he opened his eyes again, the sun was already in the west, the hall was empty, and he was the only one left.
Standing up and stretching, he came outside and saw Mustache passing by, so he hurriedly asked Gao Kan where he was.
Mustache had a big bruise on his face, and with a wry smile told Ximen Qing that Gao Kan was practicing in the back.
Ximen Qing wanted to ask what happened to the scar on Mustache's face, but he was afraid that it would be unsightly if he poked his scar, so he walked towards the back after a few words of concern.
There is a large open space behind the post station. I didn't know what it was used for, but since Da Gaokan came, it has become Gaokan's territory. He often plays here, such as now.
The sun in early summer was already a little warmer, and Gao Kan struggled to hold the ball with his knees, but maybe people really have talent, and Gao Kan really has no talent in playing ball, so he weighed the ball twice It fell off, weighed twice and fell off.
Gao Kan was unexpectedly persistent today, picking up the ball when it dropped, and then continued, picking it up again after dropping it, and continuing.I don't know how long he has been doing this, the collar of his clothes, the back, etc. are already wet.
Ximen Qing stood by and watched him work hard, and did not step forward to disturb him.
Gao Kan also seemed to have not noticed Ximen Qing, and continued with his actions just now.I don't know how long it took, and suddenly, the ball broke away from Gao Kan's control and flew towards Ximen Qing.
Ximen Qing was also unequivocal, he jumped high, tapped his foot, and the ball seemed to stick to him obediently.
Ximen Qing became playful, bent over, raised his legs, and did several difficult tricks before returning the ball to Gao Kan.
Gao Kan caught the ball and didn't continue kicking it. Instead, he spun the ball with his hands and said to Ximen Qing with a downcast face, "I want to take that little lady just now as a concubine, and she agrees."
Ximen Qing had expected this to happen a long time ago, and as Li Ping'er said, it was even better for her to follow Gao Kan than to follow Hua Zixu, so he nodded, "It's as long as you are happy."
Gao Kan looked up at Ximen Qing, then quickly lowered his head, "I will help her rescue Hua Zixu."
"Ah."
"Your in-laws, and Captain Yang, I have already written to my father."
Ximen Qing's face was filled with joy, he was content with only asking Gao Kan to ask Gao Taiwei to release Chen Jingji, but he didn't expect Gao Kan to do this, it seems that his busy day was finally not in vain.
Seeing that Ximen Qing was so happy, Gao Kan said again: "However, sometimes my father won't listen to me, but don't worry, I will never let my father implicate you."
Gao Kan was different from Li Ping'er, as soon as he heard Li Ping'er's words, and then asked Mustache, he knew that Yang Duwei was implicated because he wanted to teach Lin Chong a lesson, which made him a little panicked.
He didn't know how Ximen Qing looked at this matter, whether he would blame him, especially when he robbed Ximen Qing's people just now, and did that kind of thing in front of his face.
"This matter is my fault." Gao Kan hesitated for a while, but said it out.
Ximen Qing immediately guessed what he meant, but he never blamed Gao Kan, this matter can only be said to be a coincidence.
Besides, Ximen Qing really didn't have any hope for Gao Kan before.In his opinion, except for his father, no one in this world would treat him unconditionally, and Gao Kan's behavior now far exceeded his expectations.
Patting Gao Kan's shoulder, Ximen Qing said, "Good brother."
Gao Kan heard Ximen Qing call him this way, and it was really rainy. He patted the takraw ball with his hand, and said with a smile: "Let's practice the ball!"
"Okay." Ximen Qing smiled back.
After playing golf with Gao Kan for half a day, Ximen Qing declined dinner and returned home.
When passing by the door of Hua Zixu's house, Ximen Qing glanced over there, and saw that the door over there was closed, so he quickly averted his eyes and entered his own house.
In the main hall, Ximenda sat on the main seat, sitting upright, looking outside, not knowing what he was thinking.
His underhand, Chen Jingji, changed into azure-colored clothes, making him even more pink and jade-crafted, just like the little boy next to the Taishang Laojun, but his expression was uneasy, which was very incongruous.
On Ximenda's right, Sister Ximen sat there obediently. At such a young age, she seemed to sense something unusual in the air, and she didn't cry at all.
This is what Ximen Qing saw as soon as he entered the door, which warmed his heart.With his usual smile on his face, he moved closer to Ximenda's side and teased, "Father, I'm already hungry, what's for dinner?"
With Ximen Qing's smile, the atmosphere in the room immediately changed, as if a fish had finally met water.
Ximenda shouted: "Stand up, no one is doing right. What's going on?"
"Father, don't worry, Gao Yanei said that he has written a letter to Gao Taiwei to intercede, so it should be nothing serious."
Although Ximenda had expected this result just now, he was still overjoyed when he heard it from Ximenqing himself, so he hurriedly asked Laibao to prepare the meal.
During the meal, Ximenda took great care of Chen Jingji, and even Ximenqing and Sister Ximen came behind, which shows Chen Jingji's position in Ximenda's heart.
After eating, several people sat in the living room drinking tea. Ximenda patted Chen Jingji's hand and said, "I'm sorry for you. You can stay here first, and tell me if you need anything."
Chen Jingji also knew that he was finally safe at this time, and nodded gratefully. If Ximenda didn't allow it, he would kneel down for him almost immediately.
Ximenda pulled Sister Ximen over again, and said to Chen Jingji, "Sister is still young, so you have to wait."
Chen Jingji knew that he was talking about his marriage with Sister Ximen, so he couldn't help but look at Sister Ximen, but seeing that she was still a child who didn't understand anything, he immediately lost interest.But now that he was under the roof, he didn't dare to say anything, but he only responded to Ximenda's words.
After a while, Ximenda mentioned Ximenqing for some reason, and said to Chen Jingji: "You must not learn from him, you are a good boy, and studying hard in the future is better than him who only knows how to have fun all day long."
Ximen Qing was not angry when he heard his father say this about him, and just sat there drinking tea with a smile, which provoked Ximenda to teach him another lesson.
Chen Jingji took a sneak peek at Ximen Qing, and saw that his jade crown and belt were as bright as the bright moon, and he was simply sitting there, the focus of everyone's attention.
In fact, Ximen Qing is only a few years older than him, but he is completely different from him.
Looking back on these days, he felt that the world was collapsing, but this person in front of him solved it with ease. This person is definitely not as useless as Ximenda said.
Ximen Qing was listening to his father's irrelevant lectures when he felt that someone was looking at him. He looked in the direction of his gaze, and saw Chen Jingji looking at him curiously, so he returned a kind smile, but he didn't expect Chen Jingji immediately lowered his head and stopped looking at him, which made Ximenqing very depressed.
He is not a scourge, why should he be so afraid of him!
Ximenda spoke for a long time before letting everyone go back to their rooms to rest.
Ximen Qing rested, but Gao Kan was walking back and forth restlessly at this time. He promised to keep Ximen Qing and his relatives, but in fact he had no idea.
In the eyes of outsiders, his father loved him very much, as if Lin Chong and the others were dealt with because of him, but it was not the case.The last time he went to complain to his father, what his father said implied that these people would be dealt with sooner or later, and his matter was just a sham.
If that was the case, he was really not sure if his father would listen to him.
After walking around again, he said irritably, "How do you think my father can listen to me?"
In the hall, apart from Gao Kan, there is a mustache, and mustache can't even think of himself as a dead person.
After hearing Gao Kan's words, he secretly groaned, but he couldn't help answering. After thinking for a while, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Yanei, if you can do something to make the Taiwei happy, then what request do you have?" , Can the Taiwei agree!"
"Happy thing?" Gao Kan glared at him, "Just tell me what to do."
"This." The mustache said flatteringly: "The emperor was very shocked by the massacre of the county magistrate, so he sent Du Chuan to investigate the matter thoroughly, but you see, Du Chuan has been here for half a month, but he hasn't found anything.
If you can find out the matter in Yamen and show your face in front of the emperor, the Taiwei will still be unhappy. "
"Investigate the case? It seems very interesting." Gao Kan's eyes lit up, "By the way, ask my brother to investigate together. When the emperor is happy, maybe he will let my brother go to Beijing to be an official."
Although Xiao Huzi thinks that Gao Kan is a bit too whimsical, but he will not poke Gao Kan, "You are so right, Ya Nei, when the Ximen official comes to Beijing, you can have a long relationship with him gone."
"Great." Gao Kan clenched a fist with one hand and slammed the palm of the other, "I can introduce my brother to my father at that time. My brother is so good at football and can do everything. My father will definitely like him .”
The more he thought about it, the better he felt, Gao Kan wished he could tell Ximen Qing the news right away, but it was the little beard who said that it was already late and the officials of Ximen must have fallen asleep, so he held back and didn't go out.
However, he lay on the bed so excited that he didn't fall asleep for a long time. It was not until the middle of the night that he fell asleep with a smile on his face. This night must have been a good dream.
The next day, Ximen Qing reported to the post station as usual, Gao Kan immediately told him about the matter, and promised that as long as they solved the case, he would definitely ask his father to give Ximen Qing an official position.
Ximenqing was also very happy when he heard that there was an official job, but he didn't expect that this time it would be a blessing in disguise.After thinking for a while, he agreed.
After all, if he breaks the case, it means his time has come. If he doesn't break it, he won't lose anything, so why not do it.
Seeing that Ximen Qing agreed, Gao Kan was overjoyed, and immediately ordered Mustache to call Du Chuan. He and Ximen Qing wanted to inquire about the details of the case.
Ximen Qing is no better than Gao Kan, he has his own considerations, and knows that if he asks Du Chuan like this, it is equivalent to taking the credit of Du Chuan. Du Chuan may not dare to resent Gao Kan, but he will be in trouble.
Quickly reaching out to stop Gao Kan, he said: "Why should we alarm the imperial envoy, if we solve the case through him, who will get the credit then?"
Gao Kan didn't have any ideas at first, so he naturally felt that what Ximen Qing said made sense, "Then what should we do?"
Ximen Qing thought for a while, "Hu Ming from the county government office is not bad, why don't you find an excuse to transfer him here. With him, our chances of solving the case will be much higher."
Gao Kan nodded again and again, then turned to the mustache and said, "Did you hear me, don't hurry up."
Mustache and mustache trembled twice, and quickly responded, why is it always him who is unlucky when running errands? It's really bad luck.
Gao Kan wanted to transfer Hu Ming, no one dared to stop him, no one even dared to ask him the reason for the transfer, but the imperial envoy obediently let him go with just a word from the mustache.
Hu Ming heard that Gao Yanei wanted to see him, but he was a little nervous.Gao Yanei's reputation is not very good, he beat and scolded his servants at least, and even killed him at worst. He didn't know why this Gao Yanei wanted to see him suddenly.
As soon as he entered the hall, Hu Ming didn't dare to look up, so he kowtowed to Gao Kan.
Gao Kan said impatiently: "Get up." Then he asked Ximen Qing what to do.
Ximen Qing stood up, helped Hu Ming up, and then said: "Don't worry about Hu, Gao Yanei just wants you to help him investigate the case of the county family.
Gao Yanei is a person who can distinguish between right and wrong, as long as you help us solve the case, it will definitely benefit you." Then he turned his head and said to Gao Kan, "Gao Yanei, isn't it? "
Gao Kan was used to Ximen Qing calling him good brother, but he was not used to hearing him call himself Gao Ya Nei suddenly, but he also knew that Ximen Qing must have his intentions, so he just hummed a few words in displeasure. In response to Ximen Qing's words.
Only then did Hu Ming understand why Gao Yanei called him here.
These days he has been under Du Chuan's subordinates a lot, and what is Du Chuan, he is not the same as his grandson in front of Gao Kan, so he immediately senses that this is an opportunity, a chance to go straight to the top.
"Yamei, senior official, I will definitely do my best."
Ximen Qing nodded in satisfaction when he saw Hu Ming being so upbeat, and then asked, "How is the investigation going on with that case now?"
As soon as he heard about the case, Gao Kan immediately looked at Hu Ming.
Hu Ming didn't have much fear this time, and immediately told what he knew.
In fact, the progress was similar to the last time when Hu Ming met Ximen Qing, and there were no clues at all.
Du Chuan has already determined that it is a monster, and wants to invite Taoist priests and mages to expel the monster, but the manager of Chang Ya Nei insists that the young master of their family was killed by someone, and Du Chuan must find out the truth and avenge Chang Ya Nei.
Originally a manager of the Chang family, Du Chuan, an imperial envoy, didn't care about his opinion at all, but the bad thing is that the Chang family is from the line of Cai Jingcai's grand master. Now Cai Jing and Gao Qiu are very peaceful on the surface, but one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. The factions between the two continued to fight.
Du Chuan was afraid that the Chang family would interfere with it, so he was a little jealous of the Chang family, so the case was not closed until now.
Of course, these are all gossips that Hu Ming heard, and he doesn't know if they are accurate.
Ximen Qing asked Gao Kan carefully, this matter is related to his father, he should know best.
Gao Kan's expression was inexplicable, he had only met Cai Jing a few times, and he only had this person in his memory, as for the others, he really didn't know.
Ximenqing took a look and knew that this was Liu Adou who couldn't afford to support him, so it was not difficult for him, so he turned around and asked Hu Ming to continue talking.
This time, Hu Ming also understood that this matter seemed to be Gao Kan's idea, but Ximen Qing might be the one who was really in charge, so he knew everything Ximen Qing said, and said everything he said.
Among the 36 members of Zhixian’s family, except for Su Yanei who was hacked alive and Chang Ya Nei who was lit with sky lanterns, the other 34 members had no injuries at all. Wu Zuo also had his autopsy to prove that they did not die of poisoning.
"So the cause of their death has not been found yet?" Ximen Qing frowned.
Hu Ming nodded, and after speaking, he added, "There is no trace of outsiders going there at all."
Ximenqing's eyes were dark, and he asked the people next door to the magistrate if they heard anything or saw anything that night. Hu Ming replied that he only heard one or two shouts, but they disappeared soon, and those people didn't care.
Now Ximen Qing didn't know what to ask.It is definitely not possible to judge this kind of case based on common sense, and it may be okay to win by surprise.
"Assuming that the murderer is a person, do you think it is one person, several people, or a group of people?" Ximen Qing asked.
"There should be more than one person. No matter how you look at it, this is not something that one person can do." Hu Ming hesitated and guessed.
Gao Kan also nodded.
Ximen Qing shook his head lightly, "I think the murderer is only one person, and it's a vendetta, and the targets are Su Yanei and Chang Yanei."
After finishing speaking, he continued without waiting for the two to ask, "I have an idea now, let's see who the murderer is."
When Gao Kan and Hu Ming heard that Ximen Qing had an idea so quickly, they couldn't believe it, but after they heard his plan, they were all excited, as if they had seen the murderer caught.
That night, when Ximen Qing returned home, the servant had already returned from Han Bo's place in peace. He told Ximen Qing that Dongfang Bubai was staying there well, and it was said that he had never left.
Ximen Qing was not too surprised after hearing this. He has more important things to do now.
On the second day, news came out from the county government that the magistrate's family had not actually been wiped out.The person who died at that time was not Su Yanei, but his distant cousin who was very similar to Su Yanei. As for Su Yanei, he went to Guangdong for some business and did not come back until today.
When Su Yanei knew that his family had been killed, he was naturally very angry and vowed to tear the body of the person who killed his whole family into pieces, so he set up a scene at Wanliupo in the south of the city and invited the murderer to come and fight for life and death.
If that person is a brave man, come, if that person is a coward, then he will spare that person's life.
After all, living in this world is just a waste of food for such a softie.He killed that person but made that person perfect and dirty his hands. It would be better to let that person live in a humble way, to be spurned by the world, and to remember him as a coward without courage for the rest of his life.
Banditry was rampant in the Song Dynasty. These bandits did not respect the law, but they paid great attention to reputation and morality. If the murderer was really a person of the Tao, but dared to do it, he would definitely be cast aside by the people of the Tao.
Su Ya'nei grasped this point and set up the situation.
Such explosive news caused an uproar as soon as it came out. The people were discussing it after dinner, some agreed and some disapproved.
Sure enough, they saw Su Ya Nei standing on the slope from a distance, as if he was waiting for someone.
Su Ya'nei is really not dead, Su Ya'nei is really a hero, the murderer probably wouldn't dare to come.
These mixed with everyone's slander against the murderer flew out as if they had grown wings. In less than three days, even people in Lin County knew about it, and some people even came to see if the murderer would come. , Qinghe County became lively again in an instant.
Wanliupo is named Wanliupo because there are many willow trees here, who planted these willows, but now the thick ones are as thick as a bucket, and the thin ones are as thick as an arm, and the willows are layered and lush.
In the middle of Wanliu Slope, that is, at the highest point of the slope, there is strangely no willow tree. Standing here, one can have a panoramic view of the surrounding scenery, which is also the most conspicuous.
At this time, there was only one person standing here. From the looks of it, it was Su Ya Nei who survived the disaster.
On the east side of Wanliupo, under a willow tree with dense branches and leaves, Gao Kan looked anxiously at the side of the soil slope, and after finding that there was still nothing unusual there, he turned around and asked with some uncertainty: "Why don't you come? Could it be that he found out that this was a trap, so he didn't dare to come?"
"He will definitely come. Maybe, he just got the news and is already on his way." Ximen Qing said firmly.
"Why?" Holding the saber, Hu Ming also had some doubts about Ximen Qing's plan.
I feel a little uncomfortable.Since the old man doesn't want him to be implicated, can he just watch his father go to prison or be sent to a white-haired man by... a black-haired man!How could Dad not understand his heart at all?
With a wry smile, Ximen Qing is not in a hurry now.Before, he didn't understand his father's determination, and he had some fluke thoughts, but now he understands that all he can do is to find a way to keep his father and Chen Jingji.
It's not impossible to do this at all.
Ximen Qing stood up from the ground, and sat comfortably on the chair next to him, "Father, let's clean up Jingji tonight, look at him, he probably hasn't eaten well or slept well these days, It really hurt him."
Ximenda stared, "You are no longer a member of the Ximen family, nor are you my son. You don't need to take care of our Ximen family's affairs."
Ximen Qing smiled helplessly, "Father, I'll go to Gao Yanei in a while, I guess if he is willing to help with this matter, it shouldn't be a big deal. You'd better take good care of Chen Jingji."
"This..." Ximenda looked at Ximen Qing suspiciously. He only knew that Ximen Qing went to the post station every day recently, but he didn't know the relationship between Ximen Qing and Gao Kan.
In his opinion, Gao Yanei should not even want to talk to such little people as them, so how could he help them.
"Is it really possible? Don't be too embarrassing..." Ximenda hesitated for a long time before saying this.After all, who has the hope of living and is unwilling to wait for death, besides, he hasn't seen his grandson born yet, so even if he dies, he can't close his eyes.
Naturally, Ximen Qing wanted to comfort his father, and when his father finally gave up on the idea just now, he went out, called Dai'an as he walked out, and asked what was going on, and the request letter Where is the letter from Captain Yang to help?
Dai'an said that he had never seen Duwei Yang at all, and that the letter was still with him, and then handed the letter to Ximen Qing.
Knowing that the letter was a disaster, Ximen Qing quickly tore the letter into pieces, and only then did he hear what Dai'an said about the rest.
But in fact, Dai'an didn't know what was going on, and only said that it seemed to be related to the matter of Lin Chong, the instructor of the Forbidden Army.When he said this, Ximen Qing remembered the news Gao Kan had received before, that Lin Chong broke into the Baihu Hall with a knife, which was a serious crime of treason.
But how did Captain Yang get involved?Is it really related to Lin Chong, or something else?
Ximenqing now has too little information to make a judgment, but one thing is certain, since this matter is related to Lin Chong, it must be Gao Qiu Gao Taiwei.
If Ximen Qing had three points to save himself just now, now he has five points after such an analysis. If he wants to intercede with Taiwei Gao, what is more direct and effective than starting with Gao Kan.
But thinking of Gao Kan's attitude yesterday, Ximen Qing was a little worried.Drinking friends like Gao Kan are the most unreliable, he may not take himself seriously.
If it was someone else, it might be okay to give him some gold and silver, but Gao Kan probably has no idea what silver is, so how could he help himself because of silver.
Without giving money, Ximen Qing only thought of female sex, but this female sex...
While Ximen Qing was thinking, he went out, and was about to take the sedan chair to the post station, when he saw a woman next to her poking her head, looking carefully, it was Yingchun or someone else.
In an instant, Ximen Qing thought about what happened yesterday, and Gao Kan seemed to like Li Ping'er very much.
Pausing in his tracks, Ximen Qing hesitated for a second, then turned and walked towards Yingchun.
Seeing Ximen Qing coming over, Yingchun was the first to explain: "I saw that the officials were very noisy here, so I came out to take a look. Just now I saw a few large carts approaching, and the drivers spoke with a Beijing accent, but the people who went to the capital came back? "
After Yingchun said this, Ximenqing understood one thing, that is how his father knew that Chen Jingji was here.It turned out that there was such a big commotion outside just now that even Yingchun was alarmed, it's no wonder my father didn't notice it.
After glaring at Dai'an, Dai'an also knew that he hadn't handled this matter well, so he immediately stood aside with his head shrunk.
Ximen Qing did not pursue the right or wrong of this matter, he said to Yingchun: "The person who went to Beijing has come back, I was going to tell your wife about this matter, this matter is very bad !"
"What's wrong?" Yingchun asked anxiously.
Ximen Qing asked, "Where's your wife?"
Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Yingchun ran back home quickly, and said that Li Ping'er was waiting for Ximen Qing at home and asked Ximen Qing to go.
Ximen Qing followed Yingchun into the Huafu, and came to the hall in a short while.
In the hall, Li Ping'er was walking back and forth in a hurry, when he saw Ximen Qing, he immediately said: "Officer, what happened, but the matter of begging for help can't be done?"
Ximen Qing didn't speak immediately, but looked at Li Ping'er deeply, as if he wanted to engrave Li Ping'er in his mind.
After what happened yesterday, Li Ping'er originally resented Ximen Qing a little bit, but when he was roasted by such a strong gaze, those thoughts were immediately reduced to ashes, leaving only a heart full of shyness and a touch of sweetness.
At this moment, Ximen Qing suddenly hugged Li Ping'er tightly, as if Li Ping'er would disappear if he let go.
Li Ping'er's breath was filled with the faint scent of soap from Ximen Qing's body, and his face turned red instantly, struggling to get out of Ximen Qing's embrace.
"Don't move. This may be the last time I hug you. From now on..." Ximen Qing's voice was very low, with a kind of deep pain.
Li Ping'er was frightened by Ximen Qing like this, and stopped struggling, and asked in a low voice: "Officer, what happened?"
Ximen Qing bowed his head and kissed Li Ping'er lightly, then let go of Li Ping'er, "Don't worry about it, I will handle it alone if there is anything wrong, and I will never let you be wronged." After finishing speaking, he quickly Step out.
How could Li Ping'er let Ximen Qing leave like this? She grabbed Ximen Qing's hand, tears streaming down her face, "Officer, what's going on, are you trying to kill me?"
Ximen Qing wanted to break free from Li Ping'er's hand, but Li Ping'er hugged Ximen Qing's waist from behind, crying uncontrollably.
Ximen Qing let out a long sigh, then turned around to wipe Li Ping'er's tears, and said, "Dai'an just came back this morning, saying that Yang Duwei's family and my in-laws, Chen's family, were all implicated, and now they are all in jail. , if it doesn't work out, even I...
However, since I said I want to help the lady, I will definitely help.I know Gao Yanei, so I will ask him now, even if I die, I will still ask for his help. "
With that said, Ximen Qing pulled Li Ping'er's hand away, and wanted to go outside.
Ximen Qing's words were nonsensical, Li Ping'er was only thinking about Hua Zixu's matter, and naturally thought that Yang Duwei and the Chen family were implicated and imprisoned for helping him, and now Ximen Qing said that there would be Her life was in danger, she was both moved and guilty.
If she had known this earlier, she would rather...
"Officer, that Gao Yameni seems to be very difficult to get along with." Li Ping'er said worriedly.
"Hey!" Ximen Qing sighed, but immediately said worriedly to Li Ping'er: "By the way, no matter if I succeed or fail, don't go to me. Also, if I really, really come out What's the matter, you leave Qinghe County immediately, don't be seen by Gao Yanei, otherwise..."
Li Ping'er felt that Gao Kan looked at her strangely yesterday, as if he wanted to eat her, but now she turned pale when she heard Ximen Qing's words, "But, but that Gao Yanei treated me..."
"Don't worry, I will do my best to protect you." After saying that, Ximen Qing wanted to go out.
This time Li Ping'er didn't stop him, because her mind was in a mess with all kinds of thoughts flying, she was at a loss and didn't know what to do.
Ximen Qing walked slowly, but watched Li Ping'er's reaction out of the corner of his eyes.This Li Ping'er looks pretty good, normally, he would definitely play with her, but now compared with his own father's life, she is far from enough.
He is very sympathetic, but he has something he loves more.
Seeing that he was about to walk out the door, Ximen Qing frowned slightly. Did he make a mistake in his calculation?If it was an ordinary woman, if she sacrificed so much for her, she would have to stop herself, unless, unless Li Ping'er didn't have any affection for her.
is it possible?Ximen Qing's brows turned cold, could it be that he hunted geese all day long, and was slapped in the eye by a geese today, and Li Ping'er and himself were just playing tricks on the occasion?
If that's the case, don't blame him for being ungrateful.Dad must be saved, no matter what method is used and what price is paid!
Just when Ximen Qing's thoughts changed slightly, Li Ping'er suddenly shouted: "Officer, I'll go with you." After saying that, Li Ping'er followed.
All the expressions on Ximen Qing's face disappeared immediately, and all were replaced by worry, and he turned around and said, "What are you going to do, you don't know that Gao Yanei treats you..."
Li Ping'er bowed profusely, her face full of relief after accepting her fate, "The officials may not know that my family used to be a big family in the capital, but because of some incidents, I had to escape from the capital.
Back then when I married Hua Zixu, it was entirely because the eunuch Hua forced me to say something, and I wanted to be blessed.
Now, since Gao Yanei has pity on me, why not do it.Gao Yanei and Hua Zixu are the same, they are both people I don't like, and it's the same to marry anyone, not to mention Gao Yanei can help me with the officials. "
Speaking of this, Li Ping'er smiled sweetly, "Perhaps following Gao Yanei, I don't have to live this kind of worrying life anymore. Officer, I'm tired, so let's do this, and I've tasted a marriage with Hua Zixu.
As for the relationship between officials and people, I am not blessed. In my next life, I only hope to meet officials first. "
"My lady..." Ximen Qing called out affectionately.
Li Ping'er smiled back, as if she really wanted to open up, and walked outside Ximen Qing.
In the post station, Gao Kan also just got up, while drinking the hangover soup, while holding his head to look outside, he didn't know what he was thinking.
Mustache stood aside, looking outside anxiously. He knew who Gao Kan was waiting for, and he only hoped that Ximen Qing would come quickly, otherwise it would be him again.
In the mustache praying to God, Gao Kan put the tea bowl on the table with a snap and asked, "What time is it?"
"It's almost noon, are you hungry? I'll go and prepare lunch for you." Knowing that Gao Kan was going to lose his temper, Xiao Huzi quickly found a reason and rushed out.
When Ximen Qing came with Li Ping'er, he happened to see Xiao Huzi rushing out in a hurry, and hurriedly asked him where Gao Kan was.
Mustache had never noticed that Ximen Qing looked so pleasing to the eye, and immediately pointed out the direction for Ximen Qing, and then went to prepare lunch with a smile. Now, it should be sunny after the rain.
Ximen Qing and Li Ping'er came to the living room, facing Gao Kan, but Gao Kan's face didn't look so good.
"But a headache?" Ximen Qing asked with concern as Gao Kan supported his head.
Gao Kan didn't speak, just looked at Li Ping'er.
Li Ping'er was forced by Gao Kan's gaze and wanted to back away, but when she thought of the purpose of her coming, she bowed Yingying and saluted Gao Kan, "Yesterday my concubine was rude in the yamen, and today I am here to apologize."
Gao Kan still didn't speak, which made Li Ping'er a little embarrassed, neither stood up nor stayed, his face was flushed.
Ximen Qing was also a little uncertain about what Gao Kan meant. Didn't he like Li Ping'er yesterday, why did he have no reaction when he saw Li Ping'er now?
Li Ping'er couldn't be allowed to stay like this forever, Ximen Qing stretched out his hand to support Li Ping'er, and then said to Gao Kan: "Why, are you unhappy that Mrs. Li came to see you?"
Gao Kan glanced at the two of them for a few moments, then suddenly smiled with a bland smile and said, "I'm happy, how can I be unhappy." As he spoke, he grabbed Li Ping'er's hand and put it in his arms, He hugged Li Ping'er in his arms.
Li Ping'er exclaimed, but after realizing what happened, she didn't struggle, but blushed.
Seeing Gao Kan's reaction, Ximen Qing breathed a sigh of relief. He thought his guess was wrong just now, "Ms. Li has something to ask you, and I brought her here just now. Don't bully her."
Ximen Qing spoke half-truths and half-false words.
"Oh? Is that so? I have something to ask? But I'm not very happy today. If it makes me happy, I can talk about anything." As he said that, Gao Kan started to play tricks on Li Ping'er.
Li Ping'er had expected this to happen, and she was not a young girl, so she didn't panic too much, but realized that Ximen Qing was still watching, and it made her very ashamed to see her like this, so she looked up at Ximen Qing. She glanced beggingly, hoping that he could leave here.
Ximen Qing actually saw everything when he was having fun with his friends before, so he didn't feel too embarrassed, but since Li Ping'er didn't want him to see it, he naturally didn't want to stay here, so he said to Gao Kan: "I'm going to the kitchen to see what delicious food is prepared today."
After speaking, he was about to turn around and leave.
"Wait." Gao Kan suddenly said, "Brother, why should you be taboo about this? I'm about to ask my brother for some tips. Wouldn't it be nice for us to play together?"
As he said that, he had almost peeled Li Ping'er.
Li Ping'er was so ashamed that her whole body turned red, she lay in his arms as if she was dead.
It's not that Ximen Qing hasn't played with friends before, but he always feels weird when facing Li Ping'er and Gao Kan.He wanted to leave, but Gao Kan didn't want him to leave at all, Ximen Qing really felt inexplicably inappropriate to stay together.
Gao Kan saw Ximen Qing's eyelids drooping and not moving, and he didn't care about Ximen Qing, so he started to move, and it seemed to show something, he made it very loudly.
Ximen Qing had never seen any battle before, his eyes were on his nose, his nose was on his mouth, and he sat on the side as if he was asleep.He was already drunk, and he was worried and anxious all morning. At some point, he actually fell asleep.
When he opened his eyes again, the sun was already in the west, the hall was empty, and he was the only one left.
Standing up and stretching, he came outside and saw Mustache passing by, so he hurriedly asked Gao Kan where he was.
Mustache had a big bruise on his face, and with a wry smile told Ximen Qing that Gao Kan was practicing in the back.
Ximen Qing wanted to ask what happened to the scar on Mustache's face, but he was afraid that it would be unsightly if he poked his scar, so he walked towards the back after a few words of concern.
There is a large open space behind the post station. I didn't know what it was used for, but since Da Gaokan came, it has become Gaokan's territory. He often plays here, such as now.
The sun in early summer was already a little warmer, and Gao Kan struggled to hold the ball with his knees, but maybe people really have talent, and Gao Kan really has no talent in playing ball, so he weighed the ball twice It fell off, weighed twice and fell off.
Gao Kan was unexpectedly persistent today, picking up the ball when it dropped, and then continued, picking it up again after dropping it, and continuing.I don't know how long he has been doing this, the collar of his clothes, the back, etc. are already wet.
Ximen Qing stood by and watched him work hard, and did not step forward to disturb him.
Gao Kan also seemed to have not noticed Ximen Qing, and continued with his actions just now.I don't know how long it took, and suddenly, the ball broke away from Gao Kan's control and flew towards Ximen Qing.
Ximen Qing was also unequivocal, he jumped high, tapped his foot, and the ball seemed to stick to him obediently.
Ximen Qing became playful, bent over, raised his legs, and did several difficult tricks before returning the ball to Gao Kan.
Gao Kan caught the ball and didn't continue kicking it. Instead, he spun the ball with his hands and said to Ximen Qing with a downcast face, "I want to take that little lady just now as a concubine, and she agrees."
Ximen Qing had expected this to happen a long time ago, and as Li Ping'er said, it was even better for her to follow Gao Kan than to follow Hua Zixu, so he nodded, "It's as long as you are happy."
Gao Kan looked up at Ximen Qing, then quickly lowered his head, "I will help her rescue Hua Zixu."
"Ah."
"Your in-laws, and Captain Yang, I have already written to my father."
Ximen Qing's face was filled with joy, he was content with only asking Gao Kan to ask Gao Taiwei to release Chen Jingji, but he didn't expect Gao Kan to do this, it seems that his busy day was finally not in vain.
Seeing that Ximen Qing was so happy, Gao Kan said again: "However, sometimes my father won't listen to me, but don't worry, I will never let my father implicate you."
Gao Kan was different from Li Ping'er, as soon as he heard Li Ping'er's words, and then asked Mustache, he knew that Yang Duwei was implicated because he wanted to teach Lin Chong a lesson, which made him a little panicked.
He didn't know how Ximen Qing looked at this matter, whether he would blame him, especially when he robbed Ximen Qing's people just now, and did that kind of thing in front of his face.
"This matter is my fault." Gao Kan hesitated for a while, but said it out.
Ximen Qing immediately guessed what he meant, but he never blamed Gao Kan, this matter can only be said to be a coincidence.
Besides, Ximen Qing really didn't have any hope for Gao Kan before.In his opinion, except for his father, no one in this world would treat him unconditionally, and Gao Kan's behavior now far exceeded his expectations.
Patting Gao Kan's shoulder, Ximen Qing said, "Good brother."
Gao Kan heard Ximen Qing call him this way, and it was really rainy. He patted the takraw ball with his hand, and said with a smile: "Let's practice the ball!"
"Okay." Ximen Qing smiled back.
After playing golf with Gao Kan for half a day, Ximen Qing declined dinner and returned home.
When passing by the door of Hua Zixu's house, Ximen Qing glanced over there, and saw that the door over there was closed, so he quickly averted his eyes and entered his own house.
In the main hall, Ximenda sat on the main seat, sitting upright, looking outside, not knowing what he was thinking.
His underhand, Chen Jingji, changed into azure-colored clothes, making him even more pink and jade-crafted, just like the little boy next to the Taishang Laojun, but his expression was uneasy, which was very incongruous.
On Ximenda's right, Sister Ximen sat there obediently. At such a young age, she seemed to sense something unusual in the air, and she didn't cry at all.
This is what Ximen Qing saw as soon as he entered the door, which warmed his heart.With his usual smile on his face, he moved closer to Ximenda's side and teased, "Father, I'm already hungry, what's for dinner?"
With Ximen Qing's smile, the atmosphere in the room immediately changed, as if a fish had finally met water.
Ximenda shouted: "Stand up, no one is doing right. What's going on?"
"Father, don't worry, Gao Yanei said that he has written a letter to Gao Taiwei to intercede, so it should be nothing serious."
Although Ximenda had expected this result just now, he was still overjoyed when he heard it from Ximenqing himself, so he hurriedly asked Laibao to prepare the meal.
During the meal, Ximenda took great care of Chen Jingji, and even Ximenqing and Sister Ximen came behind, which shows Chen Jingji's position in Ximenda's heart.
After eating, several people sat in the living room drinking tea. Ximenda patted Chen Jingji's hand and said, "I'm sorry for you. You can stay here first, and tell me if you need anything."
Chen Jingji also knew that he was finally safe at this time, and nodded gratefully. If Ximenda didn't allow it, he would kneel down for him almost immediately.
Ximenda pulled Sister Ximen over again, and said to Chen Jingji, "Sister is still young, so you have to wait."
Chen Jingji knew that he was talking about his marriage with Sister Ximen, so he couldn't help but look at Sister Ximen, but seeing that she was still a child who didn't understand anything, he immediately lost interest.But now that he was under the roof, he didn't dare to say anything, but he only responded to Ximenda's words.
After a while, Ximenda mentioned Ximenqing for some reason, and said to Chen Jingji: "You must not learn from him, you are a good boy, and studying hard in the future is better than him who only knows how to have fun all day long."
Ximen Qing was not angry when he heard his father say this about him, and just sat there drinking tea with a smile, which provoked Ximenda to teach him another lesson.
Chen Jingji took a sneak peek at Ximen Qing, and saw that his jade crown and belt were as bright as the bright moon, and he was simply sitting there, the focus of everyone's attention.
In fact, Ximen Qing is only a few years older than him, but he is completely different from him.
Looking back on these days, he felt that the world was collapsing, but this person in front of him solved it with ease. This person is definitely not as useless as Ximenda said.
Ximen Qing was listening to his father's irrelevant lectures when he felt that someone was looking at him. He looked in the direction of his gaze, and saw Chen Jingji looking at him curiously, so he returned a kind smile, but he didn't expect Chen Jingji immediately lowered his head and stopped looking at him, which made Ximenqing very depressed.
He is not a scourge, why should he be so afraid of him!
Ximenda spoke for a long time before letting everyone go back to their rooms to rest.
Ximen Qing rested, but Gao Kan was walking back and forth restlessly at this time. He promised to keep Ximen Qing and his relatives, but in fact he had no idea.
In the eyes of outsiders, his father loved him very much, as if Lin Chong and the others were dealt with because of him, but it was not the case.The last time he went to complain to his father, what his father said implied that these people would be dealt with sooner or later, and his matter was just a sham.
If that was the case, he was really not sure if his father would listen to him.
After walking around again, he said irritably, "How do you think my father can listen to me?"
In the hall, apart from Gao Kan, there is a mustache, and mustache can't even think of himself as a dead person.
After hearing Gao Kan's words, he secretly groaned, but he couldn't help answering. After thinking for a while, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Yanei, if you can do something to make the Taiwei happy, then what request do you have?" , Can the Taiwei agree!"
"Happy thing?" Gao Kan glared at him, "Just tell me what to do."
"This." The mustache said flatteringly: "The emperor was very shocked by the massacre of the county magistrate, so he sent Du Chuan to investigate the matter thoroughly, but you see, Du Chuan has been here for half a month, but he hasn't found anything.
If you can find out the matter in Yamen and show your face in front of the emperor, the Taiwei will still be unhappy. "
"Investigate the case? It seems very interesting." Gao Kan's eyes lit up, "By the way, ask my brother to investigate together. When the emperor is happy, maybe he will let my brother go to Beijing to be an official."
Although Xiao Huzi thinks that Gao Kan is a bit too whimsical, but he will not poke Gao Kan, "You are so right, Ya Nei, when the Ximen official comes to Beijing, you can have a long relationship with him gone."
"Great." Gao Kan clenched a fist with one hand and slammed the palm of the other, "I can introduce my brother to my father at that time. My brother is so good at football and can do everything. My father will definitely like him .”
The more he thought about it, the better he felt, Gao Kan wished he could tell Ximen Qing the news right away, but it was the little beard who said that it was already late and the officials of Ximen must have fallen asleep, so he held back and didn't go out.
However, he lay on the bed so excited that he didn't fall asleep for a long time. It was not until the middle of the night that he fell asleep with a smile on his face. This night must have been a good dream.
The next day, Ximen Qing reported to the post station as usual, Gao Kan immediately told him about the matter, and promised that as long as they solved the case, he would definitely ask his father to give Ximen Qing an official position.
Ximenqing was also very happy when he heard that there was an official job, but he didn't expect that this time it would be a blessing in disguise.After thinking for a while, he agreed.
After all, if he breaks the case, it means his time has come. If he doesn't break it, he won't lose anything, so why not do it.
Seeing that Ximen Qing agreed, Gao Kan was overjoyed, and immediately ordered Mustache to call Du Chuan. He and Ximen Qing wanted to inquire about the details of the case.
Ximen Qing is no better than Gao Kan, he has his own considerations, and knows that if he asks Du Chuan like this, it is equivalent to taking the credit of Du Chuan. Du Chuan may not dare to resent Gao Kan, but he will be in trouble.
Quickly reaching out to stop Gao Kan, he said: "Why should we alarm the imperial envoy, if we solve the case through him, who will get the credit then?"
Gao Kan didn't have any ideas at first, so he naturally felt that what Ximen Qing said made sense, "Then what should we do?"
Ximen Qing thought for a while, "Hu Ming from the county government office is not bad, why don't you find an excuse to transfer him here. With him, our chances of solving the case will be much higher."
Gao Kan nodded again and again, then turned to the mustache and said, "Did you hear me, don't hurry up."
Mustache and mustache trembled twice, and quickly responded, why is it always him who is unlucky when running errands? It's really bad luck.
Gao Kan wanted to transfer Hu Ming, no one dared to stop him, no one even dared to ask him the reason for the transfer, but the imperial envoy obediently let him go with just a word from the mustache.
Hu Ming heard that Gao Yanei wanted to see him, but he was a little nervous.Gao Yanei's reputation is not very good, he beat and scolded his servants at least, and even killed him at worst. He didn't know why this Gao Yanei wanted to see him suddenly.
As soon as he entered the hall, Hu Ming didn't dare to look up, so he kowtowed to Gao Kan.
Gao Kan said impatiently: "Get up." Then he asked Ximen Qing what to do.
Ximen Qing stood up, helped Hu Ming up, and then said: "Don't worry about Hu, Gao Yanei just wants you to help him investigate the case of the county family.
Gao Yanei is a person who can distinguish between right and wrong, as long as you help us solve the case, it will definitely benefit you." Then he turned his head and said to Gao Kan, "Gao Yanei, isn't it? "
Gao Kan was used to Ximen Qing calling him good brother, but he was not used to hearing him call himself Gao Ya Nei suddenly, but he also knew that Ximen Qing must have his intentions, so he just hummed a few words in displeasure. In response to Ximen Qing's words.
Only then did Hu Ming understand why Gao Yanei called him here.
These days he has been under Du Chuan's subordinates a lot, and what is Du Chuan, he is not the same as his grandson in front of Gao Kan, so he immediately senses that this is an opportunity, a chance to go straight to the top.
"Yamei, senior official, I will definitely do my best."
Ximen Qing nodded in satisfaction when he saw Hu Ming being so upbeat, and then asked, "How is the investigation going on with that case now?"
As soon as he heard about the case, Gao Kan immediately looked at Hu Ming.
Hu Ming didn't have much fear this time, and immediately told what he knew.
In fact, the progress was similar to the last time when Hu Ming met Ximen Qing, and there were no clues at all.
Du Chuan has already determined that it is a monster, and wants to invite Taoist priests and mages to expel the monster, but the manager of Chang Ya Nei insists that the young master of their family was killed by someone, and Du Chuan must find out the truth and avenge Chang Ya Nei.
Originally a manager of the Chang family, Du Chuan, an imperial envoy, didn't care about his opinion at all, but the bad thing is that the Chang family is from the line of Cai Jingcai's grand master. Now Cai Jing and Gao Qiu are very peaceful on the surface, but one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. The factions between the two continued to fight.
Du Chuan was afraid that the Chang family would interfere with it, so he was a little jealous of the Chang family, so the case was not closed until now.
Of course, these are all gossips that Hu Ming heard, and he doesn't know if they are accurate.
Ximen Qing asked Gao Kan carefully, this matter is related to his father, he should know best.
Gao Kan's expression was inexplicable, he had only met Cai Jing a few times, and he only had this person in his memory, as for the others, he really didn't know.
Ximenqing took a look and knew that this was Liu Adou who couldn't afford to support him, so it was not difficult for him, so he turned around and asked Hu Ming to continue talking.
This time, Hu Ming also understood that this matter seemed to be Gao Kan's idea, but Ximen Qing might be the one who was really in charge, so he knew everything Ximen Qing said, and said everything he said.
Among the 36 members of Zhixian’s family, except for Su Yanei who was hacked alive and Chang Ya Nei who was lit with sky lanterns, the other 34 members had no injuries at all. Wu Zuo also had his autopsy to prove that they did not die of poisoning.
"So the cause of their death has not been found yet?" Ximen Qing frowned.
Hu Ming nodded, and after speaking, he added, "There is no trace of outsiders going there at all."
Ximenqing's eyes were dark, and he asked the people next door to the magistrate if they heard anything or saw anything that night. Hu Ming replied that he only heard one or two shouts, but they disappeared soon, and those people didn't care.
Now Ximen Qing didn't know what to ask.It is definitely not possible to judge this kind of case based on common sense, and it may be okay to win by surprise.
"Assuming that the murderer is a person, do you think it is one person, several people, or a group of people?" Ximen Qing asked.
"There should be more than one person. No matter how you look at it, this is not something that one person can do." Hu Ming hesitated and guessed.
Gao Kan also nodded.
Ximen Qing shook his head lightly, "I think the murderer is only one person, and it's a vendetta, and the targets are Su Yanei and Chang Yanei."
After finishing speaking, he continued without waiting for the two to ask, "I have an idea now, let's see who the murderer is."
When Gao Kan and Hu Ming heard that Ximen Qing had an idea so quickly, they couldn't believe it, but after they heard his plan, they were all excited, as if they had seen the murderer caught.
That night, when Ximen Qing returned home, the servant had already returned from Han Bo's place in peace. He told Ximen Qing that Dongfang Bubai was staying there well, and it was said that he had never left.
Ximen Qing was not too surprised after hearing this. He has more important things to do now.
On the second day, news came out from the county government that the magistrate's family had not actually been wiped out.The person who died at that time was not Su Yanei, but his distant cousin who was very similar to Su Yanei. As for Su Yanei, he went to Guangdong for some business and did not come back until today.
When Su Yanei knew that his family had been killed, he was naturally very angry and vowed to tear the body of the person who killed his whole family into pieces, so he set up a scene at Wanliupo in the south of the city and invited the murderer to come and fight for life and death.
If that person is a brave man, come, if that person is a coward, then he will spare that person's life.
After all, living in this world is just a waste of food for such a softie.He killed that person but made that person perfect and dirty his hands. It would be better to let that person live in a humble way, to be spurned by the world, and to remember him as a coward without courage for the rest of his life.
Banditry was rampant in the Song Dynasty. These bandits did not respect the law, but they paid great attention to reputation and morality. If the murderer was really a person of the Tao, but dared to do it, he would definitely be cast aside by the people of the Tao.
Su Ya'nei grasped this point and set up the situation.
Such explosive news caused an uproar as soon as it came out. The people were discussing it after dinner, some agreed and some disapproved.
Sure enough, they saw Su Ya Nei standing on the slope from a distance, as if he was waiting for someone.
Su Ya'nei is really not dead, Su Ya'nei is really a hero, the murderer probably wouldn't dare to come.
These mixed with everyone's slander against the murderer flew out as if they had grown wings. In less than three days, even people in Lin County knew about it, and some people even came to see if the murderer would come. , Qinghe County became lively again in an instant.
Wanliupo is named Wanliupo because there are many willow trees here, who planted these willows, but now the thick ones are as thick as a bucket, and the thin ones are as thick as an arm, and the willows are layered and lush.
In the middle of Wanliu Slope, that is, at the highest point of the slope, there is strangely no willow tree. Standing here, one can have a panoramic view of the surrounding scenery, which is also the most conspicuous.
At this time, there was only one person standing here. From the looks of it, it was Su Ya Nei who survived the disaster.
On the east side of Wanliupo, under a willow tree with dense branches and leaves, Gao Kan looked anxiously at the side of the soil slope, and after finding that there was still nothing unusual there, he turned around and asked with some uncertainty: "Why don't you come? Could it be that he found out that this was a trap, so he didn't dare to come?"
"He will definitely come. Maybe, he just got the news and is already on his way." Ximen Qing said firmly.
"Why?" Holding the saber, Hu Ming also had some doubts about Ximen Qing's plan.
