The first work of the imperial prison

The sun is shining outside the window, and the breeze is blowing willows.

In the room, the Cai family stands tall, with sonorous words, and plain hairpins in green dresses, without any bright colors, but burning fiercely, which makes people feel very dazzling, like the burning wildfire, with endless vitality, wherever it burns, there will be Light.

She is not standing here alone, someone is always with her, her journey is never alone.

Compared with her tenacity, her lonely courage, other people's self-righteous rules and love, it seems very funny.

The Wang family was born in a famous family, and she was born with everything. She grew up smoothly, and married her husband's childhood sweetheart, but in the end they seemed to be in harmony with each other, and they never had a heart-to-heart relationship.

You think you are beyond free and can do whatever you want, but true freedom is the fulfillment and recognition of each other, and it is the world that allows you to roam, not to set up a framework to lock you up and say that you are free here.

You think that you can do whatever you want and be deviant, but these rights are also given to you by others. Once others take them back, not only will you have nothing, but you may also be made public and pursued, and your world will collapse.

You feel that you are superior and others are serving you, and you are not even worthy of touching your clothes. In fact, you are also a victim under the throne of others. It is a pity that the people who serve you have accepted their fate and will not be unwilling. You are arrogant Arrogant, can't even see through this truth, deceives himself, and doesn't want to admit it.

You feel that your life is full of flowers and bustling everywhere, while others are pitiful and lonely, but you never thought, how can people be afraid of losing in the future when they have such enthusiasm and richness, and their hearts are full and full?But where would you be without the blooming flowers?Can an old and unbeatable heart still ignite the love and bloom for life?

Wang knows that her heart will always be lonely and empty, no matter now or in the future, no one has ever truly warmed it, and it will never be filled.

"Rules... How people want to live depends on themselves..."

Wang's tears streamed down her eyes, she no longer dared to meet Cai's eyes, and knelt down holding up the corner of her skirt: "I...I know the confidant of that 'noble man', about forty years old, with a square face, under the right ear He has a mole, the old Hou Ye has seen him, and the son has seen him, his name seems to be... Deng Sheng. The person who Shi Xueming saw back then should also be him."

Ye Baiting asked: "If we meet again, may Madam recognize him?"

"can."

"What about the portrait?"

"Should be able to help describe."

"Besides this, do you know anything else?"

"The place where the old Marquis hides things," Wang said with downcast eyes, and she was very calm. Instead of the aristocratic demeanor that she had deliberately put on in the past, she was quiet and beautiful, with a different temperament. "He likes the number three, he In the study room, Jin Yiwei can check anything related to this... I am not talented, so that's all I know."

"Thank you."

Ye Baiting nodded slightly to Jin Yiwei who was standing beside him, and Wang was invited to help draw portraits.

"Until now, Master Hou still doesn't want to talk about it?"

"You've all lied to this point, what else can I say?" The old master snorted coldly, "The one sitting on the dragon chair is not the real man at all, a born princess who was grounded." It’s nothing more than a bastard, the fake dragon is in Ziwei, the real dragon dives into the sea, cause and effect are reversed, God’s will is intolerable, sooner or later the rules will be clear, and the real dragon will return to its place, then we will be the ancestors—"

The more he talked, the more excited he became, and the louder his voice became, as if he had talked a lot, and the louder he said it, the more it was true, and others had to believe it.

With a "pop", he suddenly stopped, his mouth was covered with blood, and two front teeth fell out.

After a closer look, it turned out that it was hit by a small stone.

Ye Baiting followed Xiaoshi's direction and saw Qiu Yiqing's face.

He seems to be very angry, very very angry, it's all on his face, and everyone can see it.

Qiu Yiqing was not only very angry, but also stood up straight away, and didn't want to hear the next words: "Come here—serve the old master to go to the torture room. If you don't want to talk here, just talk to the torture tools!"

The torture chamber of Fusi in Beizhen is a secretive existence outside, and no one dares to talk about it, let alone experience it personally?

The old Hou Ye was frightened in an instant. He never expected that he would not have the slightest preferential treatment as the honor of the Hou Ye. He was going to use some words to waste time and time, but it seemed that he ran out of time. Knowing who to send it to, in the end, she cast her eyes of hatred on Mrs. Cai: "Bitch—it's all you bitch! Sangmen star! I shouldn't have let my second brother marry you at that time. You beat him to death, which is a disaster for him I am satisfied with my home now!"

Mrs. Cai was not afraid at all, and met his eyes with dark eyes: "The Hou Mansion, is it really my husband's home? He seems to have never been recognized by you since he was a child, right? If I remember correctly, his name is still not in your Marquis. According to the family tree of the government, are you guilty of saying this?"

The bitch didn't even know what was wrong, and dared to ask him back!

The blue veins on the forehead of the old Hou Ye were angry: "You killed someone, don't you feel guilty!"

"What do you mean I killed someone, who did I kill?"

"If it weren't for your scheming and snake-like tactics, the third brother wouldn't have to die at all, and Xu Kai wouldn't have to die either!"

"Oh," Cai almost laughed, "I've lived for more than 20 years, and I think I have some knowledge, but I've never seen a master like your Hou Mansion, who confuses right and wrong, and uses strong words. I used Ying Yutong, but He is sensual and flirtatious, ignoring etiquette. He was taught by your Marquis Mansion. He was brought up by your father and elder brother. What has it to do with me? The one who killed him was the son. Did I force him to do it with a knife? You kneel and lick 'Gentleman', did I help you find it? Did I force you to have a secret, and did I force you to kill people to silence them? Your Marquis mansion is heartless, has forgotten its ancestors, and treats its family members like other people's dogs, with indifference and cruelty. Did I teach it all! You still have to be ashamed!"

The old Hou Ye lost his front teeth, and his voice was shrill: "What kind of a good person are you? Don't think that I don't know what you did back then!"

"So what if I know? I don't regret anything I've done, including killing people."

Cai's eyes are clear, her heart is honest, she is really not afraid of anything, and she has nothing to say to others.

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Old Hou Ye still wanted to talk, but Jin Yiwei couldn't take it anymore, even with blood on his hands, he covered his mouth and pulled him out.

The hall was finally quiet.

Qiu Yiqing looked at Shizi: "What about you, do you want to tell me?"

The son obviously hesitated, he didn't want to say it, but Jin Yiwei already knew a lot, so what's the point of him saying a little more, can he let him go out with all his tail?Keep your mouth shut, maybe you can think of a way?

Don't understand this kind of expression too much, and simply didn't ask: "Come on, I'm afraid the son is greedy, and I really want to taste the taste of Beizhen Fusi torture room."

"Yes!"

Jin Yiwei came over immediately and escorted Shizi out.

The torture room will ask this kind of private matter the most, don't ask, right?Separate, attack both sides at the same time, properly mention your son (father), and say that if he recruited, his sentence will be reduced because of this, are you in a hurry?

There are doorways inside and out, there is always one who can't help it!

Fusi in Beizhen today was not insignificant, he was solemn and solemn inside and out, and he was very cautious in his busy schedule.

Ye Baiting quietly raised his hand, and asked Qiu Xunqing with his eyes - today's case is very important, will the emperor know about it?

Qiu Yiqing nodded.

After thinking about it, Ye Baiting knew why the questioning was made public today and it was not kept secret.

When the matter of 'Qianlong' is unknown to everyone, it is a secret, and if it is known, there is no need to keep it a secret.Now that the regime is relatively stable, others are always in the dark, and you don't move. Isn't it giving the other party a chance to develop secretly?If you don't want to scare the snake, you may not be able to achieve the effect. The Hou's mansion was confiscated. Could that 'Qianlong' not know, can he not be vigilant?Maybe the cleanup plan has already started, so it's better to come here in the open.

Just let the world know that some people are coveting the throne, some people want to secretly rebel, whoever of you wants to follow, think about your own head, the parents and relatives behind you, and the consequences of punishing the nine clans, you may be able to bear it.

Maybe other people don't know who this 'noble man' is, but Ye Baiting can guess that this is the third prince.In the original novel, she has been lurking in the dark and developed insignificantly. It will take at least three or four years to appear. Once she appears, she will cause trouble with great momentum, directly threatening the status of the current emperor, and finally even succeeded in rebelling...

This character shouldn't have appeared so early, could it be the butterfly effect brought about by his hard work?

If this is the case, does it mean that some things are not static, the result can be changed artificially, and Emperor Yu'an and Qiu Yiqing can not die?

It's a pity that he swallowed dates at the time and didn't read many novels. How and when Emperor Yu'an and Qiu Yiqing died, he completely forgot.But it doesn't matter, their fate is in their own hands, as long as they walk firmly on the road under their feet, there will be no problems!

When Ye Baiting was thinking about it, Qiu Xunqing had already finished talking with Lu Shi, and locked him up temporarily. Lu Shi also cooperated quite well, saying that he must think about the details that he forgot, and hope that Jin Yiwei will finish copying it. The government, everything related to the case is clear, and she can be released home.

Next, it is the arrangement for Cai.

Qiu Yiqing pondered for a moment, and said: "The Hou's Mansion intends to rebel, the crime is unforgivable, Jin Yiwei has already formed a team, and we are going to search the Hou's Mansion, this envoy can give you a privilege, allowing you to clean up the things Ying Puxin left behind, just But his calligraphy, calligraphy and paintings cannot be property or jewelry."

Cai raised her skirt and knelt down: "Thank you Commander, I have nothing else to ask for, but I hope to get back my husband's belongings."

Hatred and green jaws: "But this envoy also has a request."

Cai: "Commander, please speak."

"The name Ye Qingyu, have you ever heard your husband mention it?"

"It seems familiar..." Cai was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered the news of Jin Yiwei's visit to the mansion on the day Ying Yutong died, "Is it because of this that you and Mr. Ye came to the house that day?"

Ye Baiting looked at Qiu Yiqing: "To be honest, Ye Qingyu is my father's name."

Cai's ears were reddish, and she was a little ashamed. She didn't know what Jin Yiwei came to the house for, and no one else said it clearly at the time, and she was even subconsciously wary of vigilance. If she had known that Jin Yiwei was serious and responsible in investigating the case, and would not let go of all the details easily, she actually didn't need to do so.

It's just that these words are meaningless. In this case, she is very grateful to Qiu Yiqing and Ye Baiting for their efforts. She has seen their hard work and is very willing to repay them.

"But I don't remember clearly. I should have received a few letters. My husband mentioned this name in the letter. If the letter is not in the capital, I can go back to Linqing to look for it. That is our real home. There are more thing."

"Thank you." Qiu Yiqing pointed to the direction outside the door, "Then go to the Hou Mansion first?"

Cai smiled and said, "Okay."

When the few people walked out, Ye Baiting was a little worried, tugged at Qiu Yiqing's sleeve, and pointed to the location of the execution room behind the door, the secret over there is very important, why don't you follow the trial?

Qiu Yiqing grabbed his hand and whispered in his ear: "Be safe and don't be impatient."

Asking now, the attitude of others is likely to be the same as before the court just now, not cooperating, not confessing, and going through a round of punishment first.They knew it was hurting, and it wasn't Jin Yiwei who should be anxious, they would be eager to beg Jin Yiwei to tell the truth.

Ye Baiting: ...

OK.You guys know better about interrogation, so come by yourself, I won't ask.

Without talking all the way, the three of them soon arrived at the Hou's Mansion.

Jin Yiwei moved very quickly. As soon as the confession was received in the hall, a team formed outside. Now the entire Hou Mansion has been surrounded, no one can enter, no one can exit, and the atmosphere is solemn and solemn.

All the servants in the mansion have been isolated and guarded. Occasionally, there will be some disturbing small disturbances, but no major disturbances will occur.

Cai's memory has recovered, so don't remember your own things too clearly. Her husband's belongings, paper, cloth, worn, used, are sorted and organized in an orderly manner. Among them, letters are the most frequently read, and some have already been turned over. Raw edges.

When she lost her memory, she didn't even remember herself. When she saw these things, she only had a sense of familiarity and strangeness, and occasionally a little bit of jealousy. Now that she is awake and looking at it again, she feels a little ashamed. son……

Cai's face was a little red: "There shouldn't be any here, it's just what he said to tease me indiscriminately, please wait a moment, Commander."

She found another box, and there were still some letters in it. Compared with love poems and complaints, these are much more serious, and they are really talking about things.After flipping through for a while, she found one of them, unfolded it, read it, and handed it to Qiu Xunqing: "It seems that more are not here, and the only one I can find is this one."

Qiu Yiqing stood beside Ye Baiting: "Let's watch together."

I finished reading a letter very quickly. This is Ying Puxin's home letter. My own affairs account for most of it. I don't mention "Ye Qingyu" many times. I just write it out with admiration as an old friend. , Let Cai know that he has such a friend, and he is very happy.

To Ye Baiting, the greatest value of this letter is a single line - Ye Qingyu seems to be protecting something.

The letter didn't say anything specifically, it might be a person, it might be an object, or it might be some kind of morality and persistence. In short, Ying Puxin admired this matter very much.

Protect……

It's hard for Ye Baiting not to think about the case his father encountered because of these two words?His silence, his death, are all because of wanting to protect someone?

But he didn't know, his father didn't tell anyone.

Qiu Xunqing put away the letter paper again, cast slightly red eyes at Shang Xiaowu, and said: "The amount involved in your father's case was not too large at the time, and if you are convicted of a crime, you will usually be imprisoned and sentenced. It will not affect the family."

Ye Baiting knew that Qiu Yiqing was reminding him of the real problem of this matter.No matter what his father did at that time, why he made such a decision, he should have considered it very carefully. He could die alone, and he didn't want to affect his family, but there was an accident in the middle, and He Yiming jumped out too suddenly. The evidence for the trial was too critical, and the father was caught off guard. The speed after that was too fast, and the father could not react at all. He might not even know what happened to the outside world. How did it happen? Heartbroken, he followed him away, and his son was also imprisoned.

If it wasn't for He Yiming, his father might not have died at all, his mother would be fine, and he wouldn't have to struggle hard in the imperial prison.

Qiu Yiqing looked at Mrs. Cai: "If possible, I would like to ask you to do me a favor. Go back to Linqing and sort out all the things left by your husband and 'Ye Qingyu'. This envoy will send people to follow you , keep you safe."

Mrs. Cai shook her head lightly: "It's not necessary, I planned to go back, my husband and I have always lived in Linqing, not in the capital, but..."

The Hou Mansion has been stolen, can she leave?

Qiu Yiqing saw the confusion in her eyes: "The Hou's mansion intends to rebel, and the matter is of great importance. However, the emperor's benevolence has already passed down a decree. After being investigated by Jin Yiwei, those who did not participate in the rebellion can be reduced in crime if they have made meritorious deeds. You and you The husband's things have been inspected by Jin Yiwei, and if there is no problem, they can be taken away, it may take a long time, you need to cooperate."

Cai immediately thought that the case was so serious that even if the irrelevant female relatives were let go, she would definitely have to monitor and observe for a while to determine whether she was really innocent and there was no follow-up suspicion. , if I can help you a little bit, it will be a blessing for me."

After saying a few more words and explaining the matter clearly, Qiu Yiqing and Ye Baiting left the second room yard.

Finally, there is something in the father's case. Ye Baiting has a special premonition that this time his work will not be in vain. He will definitely find something more important. He Yiming...he will definitely figure out what's going on!

But more clues are still unknown, and it is useless to think too much. He tried his best to adjust his emotions and focus on his eyes.

"That 'noble man'..."

"It is said to be what it is, Third Prince." Qiu Yiqing said it directly.

Ye Baiting: "Where did this person... come from?"

Qiu Yiqing pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "In the early years, the Tartars harassed the border, and there were often wars. The late emperor took the noble concubine out of the palace more than once, and most of them went south, and the route was relatively random. I heard that there was a lucky beauty on the way, so maybe they stayed... ...Dragon species, for some unknown reasons, actively or passively hid, no one knows. It may also be purely fabricated, and people with ulterior motives stand behind the scenes, with the purpose of causing disaster."

Ye Baiting recalled what Old Master Hou said before his front teeth were knocked out: "The eldest princess is..."

Qiu Yiqing paused for a moment before saying: "In this dynasty there is only one eldest princess, titled Pingle, who is the real aunt of today's emperor. The eldest princess' husband died early, and she was framed by the concubine. The late emperor disliked her, and she was punished and banned from the royal temple. .”

"temple?"

"Well," Qiu Yiqing said in a low voice, "a place, Imakami spent his childhood in that temple."

Ye Baiting was taken aback for a moment, that is to say, other people's accusations were not groundless, at least for a long time, the eldest princess and the emperor lived in the same place: "The eldest princess now..."

"The industry has passed away."

The voice of hatred and suspicion is slightly dark: "Princess Pingle offended the concubine and was hated by the late emperor. Today, she was born to a court lady and has no kinship. She was always ill when she was a child. The late emperor also disliked that temple. In the early years, it was owned by everyone The existence that people ignore. Later, all the sons of the first emperor died, and the country had no successor. He took Jinshang out of the temple. People with factional disputes were dissatisfied with criticizing him. Ba Dao, his heart can be punished!"

He didn't talk a lot, and he didn't talk very deeply. Ye Baiting didn't know what the situation was like many years ago, but these are definitely royal secrets, so it's inconvenient for outsiders to tell...

The two walked very slowly, Ye Baiting was thinking about a lot of things, Qiu Xunqing didn't know what he was thinking about, and his mind was a little distracted, he didn't know who went where, stepped on something, and made a soft 'click'.

Ye Baiting looked at Qiu Yiqing subconsciously, and Qiu Yiqing immediately extended his hand to him: "Be careful——"

Before the words were finished, the feet were empty, and the two fell down.

Ye Baiting only felt his waist tighten, the back of his head was firmly protected by big hands, and his whole body was forced to be buried tightly in Qiu Yiqing's chest. When his eyes dimmed, he fell into a space.

It was very dark, without any light, it didn't seem too deep, and it didn't hurt too much... Even if someone put him at the bottom, he couldn't hurt.

He groped, wanting to touch Qiu Yiqing's face, but he didn't know where to place it, and touched the other's lips, which were soft and slightly cool.

He paused for a moment, not daring to move again: "Did you... fell? Is there any pain?"

Qiu Xunqing pressed his hand, moved her lips, and said in a low voice, "I'm fine, be good."

It's hard to behave in this kind of environment, Ye Baiting couldn't help touching the side with the other hand: "It seems that there is no soil, but it is quite clean and slippery... Is there a mat? Or is it silk?"

This space is a bit strange, there is no peculiar smell, and there is a little fragrance when you smell it carefully. It is the smell of being washed and exposed to the sun. The space is dark, but the breathing is not affected. It seems that there is a flowing wind, and there are obviously many pores. The top of the head is very low, not to mention standing up, even sitting up. The head has to be tilted, but the left and right sides are not narrow, and the boundary cannot be touched, and it is OK to roll sideways.

It took a lot of effort to sit up, but of course Ye Baiting didn't move, and he didn't get off of Qiu Yiqing: "Where is this...?"

It's like a small secret room, but it's not quite the same as the general function of a secret room. It has a lot more privacy and ambiguity. It seems that it is more appropriate to roll around in your arms... Something is wrong, very wrong!

Just as he was thinking, Qiu Yiqing's deep voice came to his ears: "Did you forget where this is?"

Ye Baiting: "Hou Mansion."

Oh, Hou Mansion, they have secret passages, so it's normal to have a secret room?But is this secret room so powerful, Jin Yiwei didn't notice it before?

Qiu Yiqing: "What is the Hou Mansion good at?"

"Of course it's cheating..."

Before finishing the two words, Ye Baiting knew what Qiu Xunqing said. This Hou's mansion is really stinking. Apart from those messy rules and daring to rebel, the most common thing people do is cheating. The whole Hou's mansion After being played with by them, why is it impossible to set up a place dedicated to flirting?

This secret room... should be self-contained, not connected to the secret passage, and it is specially used for this kind of thing!No wonder they were so ambiguous, they couldn't do anything other than fuck around!

Some words are not clear, but they can still be pretended. Once said, the atmosphere changes rapidly, and the surrounding area heats up rapidly.

Ye Baiting struggled to the side in shock: "Let's see if there is any mechanism, open it..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard another click, as if his foot had stepped on something.

Qiu Yiqing hugged him: "The only mechanism that can be opened inside has been destroyed by you."

Ye Baiting: ...

Isn't it just waiting for people outside to find out and come to rescue!

He can wait, the case is over, and all the clues and information are advancing in an orderly manner, he and Qiu Yiqing will leave for a while, nothing major will happen, and the search order of the Hou Mansion has already been issued, Jin Yiwei will be with the imperial guards soon Together, it shouldn't take too long to search the entire Hou Mansion and find this secret room.

But this secret room is not right!

It's so dark, so dark, when he can't see anything, his other senses are more clear. He can feel Qiu Yiqing's temperature, his breath, his smell... I think Qiu Yiqing's feelings are not much different from his!

I can't sit upright here, I can't do anything else, I can't even stare at my eyes, the quieter I feel, the longer I feel, some thoughts don't need to be deliberately raised, and I start to move around...

Ye Baiting began to think, how to pass this difficult time, what can quickly extinguish this ambiguous feeling, cry or laugh?

"Shall we tell a joke?"

"How is your considering?"

The two spoke at the same time, but Ye Baiting didn't realize it for a moment: "Thinking about it...how is it?"

How did you think about it?

Qiu Suqing's breath bullied him: "There is something that you haven't answered to me."

"which one?"

Ye Baiting swallowed his saliva, and suddenly remembered that not long ago, he took two sips of wine to tease Qingqing, directly punctured the window paper, called him Brother Qing, and said that he had to think about it, after all, there were some things he didn't understand .

Then now...

He was a little nervous, and shrank back: "I haven't thought about it yet..."

"But I can't wait."

Qiu Yiqing kissed her.

Maybe the darkness will magnify the ambition in people's hearts. Maybe it's because of waiting for too long, but finally couldn't help it. He was not gentle, and kissed very urgently, very hard. Live, can't leave, can't hide.

"Don't..."

He wanted to stop the other party, but because he opened his mouth to speak, he was kissed more fiercely and deeper.

The small space, ambiguous atmosphere and sound, the secret room is not very deep, Ye Baiting can hear the footsteps of people walking on the ground, as well as faint, purposely lowered voices.

He was very disturbed, this sense of crisis that might be discovered in the next moment... was a bit irritating, both he and the hostile youth were a little unstable, and their emotions were very out of control.

Ye Baiting originally wanted to beg for mercy, can a real man bend and stretch, without shame, he called out to his brother with a trembling voice: "Qing... brother, I'm a little scared, let's... next time, okay?"

What answered him was a sudden pause, and even crazier, unstoppable kisses.

"Speak again, I'll take care of you here."

Chou Yiqing's voice was slightly hoarse, but his tone was very fierce, as was his movement. Ye Baiting couldn't see his eyes, but he could imagine that it must be a hotter temperature than before.

It was like wildfire burning, like huge waves hitting the shore, like a ferocious beast that had locked itself in a forbidden place for a long time, finally couldn't restrain it, and opened the cage.
