Empress is a sick beauty

When Ling Xi rushed to the front yard, the guards of the Ministry of Punishment had already surrounded the entrance of the General's Mansion. The leader was wearing a purple court uniform and a black gauze hat, and was negotiating with the housekeeper.

"Your Majesty is Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. I came here this time to receive an anonymous report that someone saw you fugitive imperial convict hiding in the General's Mansion. My Majesty is also following orders to handle the case." The man took out a search token from his pocket, "The officer has already asked for instructions from above, and after the search, he will definitely apologize to General Ling."

As soon as he was about to step forward, Ling Jie stopped him by taking a step, "This is General Ling's son, right? Don't bother me. After the search, I will leave immediately."

"Who gave you the guts to search the general's mansion?" Ling Jie said angrily, "No one today? You are not allowed to enter the house to search!"

Zhang Yuanwailang glanced at him and smiled, "Naturally, the lower officials don't dare to make decisions on their own. It's just that the case of haunting in the capital has made people panic. Master Shangshu ordered the lower officials to investigate urgently. If Mr. Ling insists on stopping the lower officials, the lower officials It's not easy to explain to your lord when the official returns, and it's not easy to explain to the emperor if you don't find out the case. The emperor will definitely hold him accountable, and I'm afraid the general won't be able to bear it when the time comes."

Ling Jie stared, "Are you threatening me?"

"Don't you dare?" Zhang Yuanwailang had a three-point smile on his face since he entered the door. He looked like he was scrambling on the court hall. The old fox who was used to him couldn't show his real happiness or anger.

"My lord." Afraid that Ling Jie would suffer a secret loss, Ling Xi stepped forward a few steps, cupped his hands and said, "My lord insists on searching the general's mansion. Could it be that he thinks that there are some criminals hiding in the general's mansion?"

Zhang Yuanwailang paused when he heard the sound, and looked back and forth at Ling Xi, "The young master is the nephew that General Ling has found, right? Hearing about it is worse than seeing it once, and he is indeed a great talent. What does the young master say? The lower officials are just following orders, and there is no disrespect to General Ling."

Now that the Ministry of Criminal Justice has secret reports and search warrants in hand, if they are not allowed to go in and search today, it will be unclear.

Ling Xi grabbed Ling Jie's arm and pulled him back, "My lord, please go ahead."

Zhang Yuanwailang bowed down and said, "Thank you for your compassion, my lord, come! Every house has been thoroughly searched."

With an order, the guards filed in, and the servants of the general's mansion were gathered in the middle of the courtyard, in groups of three or four, watching their noses, noses, and hearts.

Ling Jie struggled with his hands and arms, and muttered softly, "What are you doing? Promise him, just in case?..."

"Be safe and don't be impatient." Ling Jie winked at him.

At this time, the guards who went to search in several ways turned back one after another, but none of them found the shadow of the prisoner.

Ling Jie looked at Ling Xi in astonishment, he couldn't get any response, and he didn't dare to ask what at this time, so he could only hold back his doubts.

Zhang Yuanwailang's face darkened slightly, and after the last group of guards reported back, he threw off his sleeves and bowed to Ling Xi and the two of them.

"I have offended the two young masters, and the next official will come to the door to report the crime in another day."

"It doesn't matter." Ling Xi smiled, "It's good that you didn't delay your errand. Are you sure you have searched thoroughly? After leaving this door, there is no second chance."

"Naturally, we found it clearly." Zhang Yuanwailang saluted again, and immediately called the guards to leave quickly.

After all the people from the punishment department had left, Ling Jie finally couldn't help but grabbed Ling Xi and asked, "Where is she?"

Ling Xi pointed to the servants in the courtyard, and saw a young servant coming out with his head bowed, and then slowly raised his head when he came up to him, it was none other than Fu Rong.

"Thank you two young masters for saving me."

Ling Jie looked at Fu Rong, speechless for a long time, and finally stumbled out a few words, "You, you actually hid her here?"

"The most dangerous place is the safest place. Sometimes this principle still works." Ling Xi turned to Furong and said, "Miss Furong, now? Shouldn't you tell us the truth?"

Fu Rong nodded heavily, and followed the two of them back to the front hall, explaining everything about the Qin Mansion and the haunting in the capital.

According to what she said, Miss Qin's affair with Chang Gong was framed by someone, and the real murderer? In fact, it was Miss Qin's husband-in-law, that is, the man who entered the Qin family a year ago.As a maid serving Miss Qin, Fu Rong happened to witness the son-in-law of Qin's family killing Miss Qin, but she accidentally exposed her whereabouts.Originally, Furong should have died too, but she was so fatal that she was thrown into the river with a knife and survived.

But when she came back and wanted to expose the man's conspiracy, the Qin family had long since fallen into power, the case was hastily closed, and there was no way to redress her grievances, so she came up with a haunting method to bring the matter before people's eyes again.

After the two listened, they looked at each other, and Ling Jie stroked his palms and said, "According to this, Wai Lang, member of the criminal department must have colluded with that man, so he hurriedly helped him cover it up. Do you have any other evidence? certificate?"

Fu Rong sighed, "If I have it, I will file a lawsuit. I am a witness, but if I fall into the hands of the criminals, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to testify."

Ling Xi nodded, and what Fu Rong said made sense, and now he can only have other people to intervene in the case, so as to have a chance to investigate clearly, so that the Ministry of Criminal Justice had to retry the case.

"Miss Furong, you stay in the mansion for the time being, and just dress up as a servant, let us think about it again." Ling Xi glanced in Ling Jie's direction, "At least wait until the second uncle comes back."

Fu Rong immediately knelt down in front of the two of them and kowtowed, "Thank you, my lord!"

"Please get up quickly." Ling Jie stepped forward and helped him up, "Miss, don't worry, we will definitely help you get justice."

Seeing the two people's eyes meeting, Ling Xi suddenly felt that she was standing? This was a bit redundant, and then she lowered her head, covered her lips and coughed twice.

Just at this time, the steward came back to report that someone from Prince Yi's mansion had come.As soon as Ling Xi heard it, she suddenly felt that this tricky matter had some clues, so she asked the housekeeper to welcome him in quickly.

Lin Han entered the door and saluted respectfully. The people accompanying him carried a wooden box. The lid was lifted, and there were three or five small boxes and a stack of books inside.

"I've met Mr. Ling! This subordinate is here to deliver medicinal materials and books for His Highness."

The medicinal materials and books in the General's Mansion were almost piling up into mountains, but His Royal Highness King Yi still sent people to send some of them every now and then.The people in the general's mansion are no longer surprised by this, and even Ling Jie already thinks it's a perfectly normal thing.

Ling Xi nodded and said, "Thank you Your Highness for me."

"You are His Royal Highness's close friend. These are all things you can do with your hands. You don't need to see them." Lin Han thought for a while, and then said, "If you are really sorry, why don't you say thank you in person someday."

"I remember." He should thank you face to face.

Lin Han settled everything that King Yi ordered, and still stood there without moving, hesitating for a moment before asking, "The subordinate just saw the people from the Ministry of Punishment leave, but something happened?"

Ling Xi wanted to bring up this matter, but now that Lin Han took the initiative to ask, it was easier for him to push the boat along, "The Ministry of Punishment is here to search for the criminals. If Guard Lin sees it? Your Highness, please give me a word, my lord." Pay attention to the fact that the capital is haunted."

Lin Han immediately bowed, "Young Master, don't worry, your subordinates will definitely bring the words to you."

Seeing the people from Prince Yi's mansion leave, Ling Xi secretly paid her own words? King Yi should understand.Now that the second uncle is not in the mansion, the only person in the capital who can be trusted is King Yi.

He knew Yi Wang's ability and patience, and thought that the other party was busy every day, so he could spare time to pay attention to the case of the Qin family.Unexpectedly? Within three days, King Yi secretly sent someone to take Furong away.Although Ling Jie was reluctant to part with him, could he consider the long-term? He had to agree with King Yi to take him away.

On the fourth day after Fu Rong left the General's Mansion, something happened in the Ministry of Criminal Justice. For some reason, the case of the Qin Mansion was rediscovered.Opening a public trial, one case after another, can no longer be covered up.

"My lord, there is news, good news!" Ah Jiu happily ran into the door, and reported when he came up, "Wai Lang, a member of the Criminal Department, was imprisoned, and that son-in-law of the Qin family was also arrested and executed soon. The uncle of the Qin family is really not a thing, and Miss Qin found out that he hooked up with the maids of the family, and instead beat him up, murdered him, and murdered him, so beheading him is an advantage."

Ling Xi put down the brush, secretly thinking that the case was handled so quickly?

"Where's Miss Furong?"

Ah Jiu pointed to the outside, "Miss Furong, she has been sent back by King Yi, and given to Master Ling Jie in the name of the maid of Prince Yi's residence."

Ling Xi couldn't help being surprised that he even knew about this relationship.

"Also, the guards of King Yi's Mansion came to deliver the books just now, just in time for you to take a nap, so they didn't come in to disturb you." Ah Jiu took out the book hidden behind him, "It's strange to say Oh, His Royal Highness King Yi always brings a stack, why only one copy today?"

One?

Ling Xi took the book and flipped through a few pages at random, but it was just an ordinary book of poetry.

What about King Yi? Will someone give away one? The passage of this poem?

He flipped through it again, and he saw something different. There was an obvious crease at the corner of the middle page.After he restored it according to the creases, the corners just pressed on a line of poetry.

Even if it is too late to return, it will not disappoint the king.

Ling Xi stared at Shiwen in a daze for a moment, her heart moved slightly.

He is also very lucky. The first friend he made after recovering from a serious illness is such a person who values ​​love and righteousness.

"Young master?" Ah Jiu's eyes widened, seeing his young master smiling lightly at the book, he couldn't help being even more surprised, "Young master, what's the matter? Is it a good thing?"

Ling Xi closed the Book of Songs, looked up and said, "It is indeed a good thing."

He purposely didn't say the whole thing, and Ah Jiu scratched his ears and scratched his head, trying to find out more about it.While the master and servant were joking, Ling Jie hurried in, holding a stack of books in his hand, put them on the table, found a chair and sat down.

"There will be an imperial examination in two days, so hurry up and make up for it."

Ling Xi looked at him blankly, "What? Yushi?"

"Well, you don't know at first glance." Ling Jie was sitting upright, and said solemnly, "It means that Qingfeng Academy has exams every two years, and the emperor will personally come to the exam. The head of the exam There is a reward for the first place, but there is a penalty for the last place, the specific reward and punishment depends on the mood of the emperor."

Ling Xi suddenly realized that there are still such rules. He always thought that only the top three in the imperial examination would be tested by the emperor himself.

Ling Jie picked up a book, "How long have you been in the academy, you have to make up for it, don't blame me for not reminding you. If you come in the last place, it's not ashamed. It's simple, your body can't hold it It's still the same thing. My father may not be able to come back until after the imperial examination, and if something happens to you by then, he will have to beat me up again."

No, he won't be the last one, Ling Xi smiled, he still has some confidence in this point.

"Don't worry, I won't hold you back." Ling Xi lowered her head to serve tea, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, "However, you should pay attention, so as not to fall into the land of tenderness and stumble."

"Hey, you!" Ling Jie stood up abruptly, completely red from ears to neck, "Take care of yourself, don't wait for His Royal Highness King Yi to come, you will know how to go out and play, enjoy yourself and think about it The bottom one?."

Ling Xi coughed lightly, feeling guilty for some reason, and hurriedly took a sip of clear tea.

Obviously, clearly, he was just making fun of him and Fu Rong, why does he always mention King Yi?
