The first work of the imperial prison

Brother-in-law Shizhou brought great news that He Yiming was suspected of murder and might be the murderer.

But he didn't know much about it, that is, on the official road not far from Beijing, there was a special quarrel, the two parties were He's servants, and Yu Lianhai, a civil servant who had left Beijing and returned to his hometown.The words were spoken by Yu Lianhai, but this person was very timid and cowardly, he dared not say anything no matter how he asked, his stare frightened him so much that he had diarrhea, and he couldn't go back to Beijing with him, so he could only call The doctor prescribed medicine and stayed outside the city for one night.

Shizhou misses his wife very much, so he left a few people outside to take care of him, and took the twins to Beijing first...

"Kill someone?" Ye Baiting was a little surprised, "He Yiming even killed someone?"

Shi Zhou snorted, "What can't this kind of beast do?"

Qiu Yiqing nodded: "I will deal with it."

"Then I'll leave this person to you, and he should be able to come tomorrow morning." After Shizhou finished speaking, he looked around and lowered his voice a little, "Your smell of 'Heavenly Wisps of Blue Heart' seems to be the same as the grandson surnamed He. Know."

Sky blue heart?

Ye Baiting paused, isn't this one of the important medicinal materials that Qiu Yiqing told him to detoxify his body?

Shi Zhou: "When I was investigating some things... Anyway, I heard a little bit, but I'm not sure. You can use the reason to ask the answer to take a look."

The words were vague, Ye Baiting didn't know, but Qiu Yiqing understood instantly, and said in a low voice, "Thank you."

The two drank another bowl of wine, and Shizhou began to chase people away: "Okay, this business is over, and the wine is almost drunk, why don't you leave, are you really waiting for my dinner? My wife is not here today. null."

Qiu Suiqing: ...

Ye Baiting shouldn't know her brother-in-law too well, she got up and walked towards the door.

"Which door do you take, lest your sister scold me less often? Let her see, I can't make it through the night?" Shizhou eyelids kept glancing at the window, "Go through the window!"

Ye Baiting rolled his eyes, this is the third floor, you want me to go through the window?

"Isn't there a commanding officer here?" Shizhou looked at Qiu Yiqing critically, "You can't make light work if you don't bring someone, right? My brother is only a few pounds?"

Ye Baiting: ...

Shizhou was quite righteous, and proudly took out a dozen banknotes, all of which were in large denominations, and handed them to Ye Baiting: "I'm in a hurry today, I'm not prepared, so spend it casually first, don't worry, your sister loves you the most, I will not be angry with you, let's go! Go!"

Ye Baiting took the banknote, and Qiu Yiqing grabbed his waist, and jumped out along the window, and landed on the ground.

As soon as his feet hit the ground, he saw the hidden weapon shot at the upper of Qiu Xunqing's shoe—a salt-and-pepper peanut.

Ye Baiting turned around and saw that Shizhou was looking at Qiu Yiqing with a bad expression, and he put his palm to his throat, making a murderous gesture of wiping his throat.

Because Qiu Yiqing still put his arms around his waist and didn't let go.

Ye Baiting: ...

In order to avoid a murder on the street, he immediately stretched out his hand and pushed Qiu Xunqing away.

Only then was Shi Zhou satisfied, and he waved at him, meaning, let's go, hurry up, don't let your sister see!

Ye Baiting: ...

After leaving the area of ​​Zhuzhi Building and walking into a long alley, he took Qiu Yiqing's hand and looked at the injury on the back of his hand: "Does it hurt?"

The wound was neither deep nor long, and the bleeding had stopped long ago, but it was a bit scary to look at. Qiu Yiqing looked down at Xiao Wu and frowned: "It doesn't hurt."

Ye Baiting smelled too strong the smell of alcohol: "Where's your head, is it uncomfortable?"

Qiu Suqing bullied him and trapped him by the wall: "Do you love me?"

Ye Baiting frowned: "Are you drunk?"

"Today's wine is really not enough. I heard that there is a day when men will be forced to drink," Qiu Yiqing breathed on Ye Baiting's neck, "When will Ah Ting give me this chance?"

One day, men will be drunk...

It seems that there is a big day, and the newcomer in the red robe wants to drink more... This dog man really knows how to think!

Ye Baiting pushed him: "Don't pretend to be crazy if you're not drunk, walk well."

But Qiu Yiqing understood something, and his lips and teeth lingered on Xiao Wuzuo's neck for a moment, then let him go: "Okay, listen to you, let's go back and continue."

Keep on fucking!Ye Baiting kept a distance from this man vigilantly.

Qiu Yiqing was very relaxed: "Brother-in-law... seems to be related to the prince of the Western Regions?"

Ye Baiting: "Don't you know him?"

Chou Xunqing was very strict: "Just met a few times, fought a few times, and is familiar with the opponent's schemes, so it's not considered a deep acquaintance."

Ye Baiting thought for a while, but there was nothing to hide, and her brother-in-law didn't seem to hide it deliberately, so she said, "Then do you know that my brother-in-law has a caravan?"

Qiu Yiqing saw it before: "I have heard it a little bit."

Ye Baiting: "My brother-in-law's family is in business, and the caravan has been passed down from generation to generation. At first, they only sold tea, and later added silk. The road starts from Bashu, Yunnan and Guizhou, and ends in the desert in the west. He followed his family here when he was very young. It is not an exaggeration to say that he grew up on horseback..."

"I heard from my sister about the prince of the Western Regions. It is a small country, far away from Dazhao. In this generation, it seems that there is a problem with the inheritance. There is no son to inherit the throne, so I searched up the family tree and married along the way. My princess somehow found my brother-in-law and said that he is the person with the closest blood. How could my brother-in-law believe it casually? He took his family tree and looked up. A great-grandmother was indeed an orphan who returned with the caravan. At that time, I lost my memory and forgot my identity..."

Ye Baiting sighed: "That's how it is. They begged my brother-in-law to go and inherit the throne. My brother-in-law doesn't like their three melons and two dates. The place is not big, the weather is not good, and the food and use are not as good as Dazhao's, but there is more gold. , Fu, what's the use, just don't go, these people have nothing to do, and they are eyeing the twins again... But they are just begging and dare not make trouble."

Qiu Yiqing was thoughtful: "So that's the case."

When the two returned to Beizhen Fusi, a table of noodles had already been delivered. Although the elder sister did not make it herself, it was not bad.

Ye Baiting was hooked so greedy: "My brother-in-law sent someone to send it?"

Qiu Yiqing nodded: "He is bribing you."

Ye Baiting turned to look at him, the corners of his lips curled up: "Did you see it?"

Qiu Xunqing: "You are very skillful in picking up his bank notes."

"Did he like my sister back then, and my sister didn't want to marry so soon, so he often asked me to help create conditions—" Ye Baiting pulled Qiu Yiqing to sit by the table, "I didn't do what he begged me before, Later, my sister nodded and made an engagement with him, and obviously liked to play with him, so I only accepted "bribes" occasionally, but it didn't work too often, I would get angry if he abducted my sister."

Qiu Xunqing gave him cloth bowls and chopsticks: "The two circles seem to be a little different, how did you get married? Hmm...can you tell me?"

Ye Baiting picked up a chopstick of winter bamboo shoots: "It's nothing inconvenient. My father was an official in the past. He met a mountain bandit and was rescued by my brother-in-law's father. My father couldn't repay him, so he taught his subordinates how to read and read, and gave advice. Accounting skills and structure, although this uncle is a reckless man, he is very loyal and thinks that saving people is a matter of convenience. On the contrary, he has made great contributions to being a teacher and has been secretly protecting each other. During the three years my father was an official there, they got along very well. Very good. My father said that he is rough and fine, and he appreciates it very much. The children's tutoring must not be wrong. My brother-in-law met when he was five or six years old. He said that he looks good and has a good heart. Set up this marriage for my sister."

"The family status of the two families... I can't talk about the family status. My family doesn't pay much attention to this. My father marries a daughter, and I only hope that she can live a happy life in the future, and live a happy and happy life. It is enough for the two children to be able to do good things by themselves, if they have the right temper. They don’t have to be officials or the people, and those who are officials are not necessarily good, and those who serve the people are not necessarily bad, right? His only worry It's also a problem of the circle of life, the two children grow up in different environments, the life they are used to, and the friends they make are also different, so I don't know if it will be difficult to get along."

Qiu Xunqing served Xiao Wuzuo a bowl of soup: "So my sister disagreed at first?"

Ye Baiting: "Well, the resistance was very fierce, but fate is really hard to tell. She met my brother-in-law when she was three years old, but she forgot about it at the time. When she grew up, she felt like a stranger. After asking about the news She also said that my brother-in-law was tough and powerful, so she didn't like it even more, and wanted to run away from home to protest, but she met my brother-in-law just after leaving the house. My brother-in-law fell in love with her at first sight, and the two competed in various ways. , and finally...it was done."

Ye Baishao didn't like Shizhou, and she didn't agree to meet her face to face. Shizhou didn't like her fiancée very much at that time, but since she was young, she was often teased about it, and she got used to it. She was somewhat looking forward to it. When people inquired about him, he also asked people to inquire about Ye Baishao, and secretly asked someone to draw a portrait and send it back. Fiancee, can you not be moved?

Knowing that others didn't like him, he wanted to fight for it. After making sufficient preparations at home, he directly grabbed a gift from a motorcade and went to Ye's house.

Ye Baishao intends to 'run away from home', when she meets Shizhou, she doesn't know him, but he knows her, the beauty in the painting is standing in front of her, Shizhou fell in love at first sight, she made up her mind to behave well, not to let her fiancée He flew away, so he pretended to ask for directions, and came over to talk to Ye Baishao. Ye Baishao was just a bit irritable, not impolite, but still very friendly to strangers. He pointed the way and chatted a few words by the way, and found it a bit coincidental. The two people went in the same direction, so they walked together for a while.

Of course, Ye Baishao is not so easy to deceive, she has a lot of thoughts, and soon found out that something was wrong, so she wanted to deal with this dog man, and teach him how powerful she is... Later, Shizhou suffered a little loss, and also embraced the beauty. .

As for the routine in the middle, you lied to me or I lied to you, you lied to me or I lied to you, back and forth, it was impossible to figure it out.

"...Then my sister got married. I went to see her off. I couldn't cry. My brother-in-law coaxed me to say that we would see each other every year. He also kept his word. He always arranged the time long in advance and sent a special team to pick me up. Come here Look at my sister, or inform us early, take my sister home to visit relatives, I have never... never lost my sister, but I have an extra family."

Ye Baiting lowered his eyes slightly, feeling warm in his heart.After coming here for so long, the more I get along with my sister, the clearer the past of the original body, sometimes the images just pop up in my mind without having to recall carefully, those nostalgia and longings fused into this body...he has no way to push it away .He seems to have become this person, he is this person.

"Well, sister and wife are good, you mustn't be really angry with him."

"it is good."

The meal was finished quickly, Qiu Xunqing looked at the sky outside, and didn't leave at all, and asked his subordinates to bring over the official documents to be done, took up a corner of the warm pavilion, and went on business on the spot.

Ye Baiting was not idle either, she dug out a pile of books, spread them out on the small table on the kang, crossed her legs, and flipped through them one by one.

The two of them didn't talk much, but the atmosphere was not awkward. There was a kind of harmony and tranquility in the room. It seemed that the heart was at home and the years were quiet.

I don't know how long it has passed, Qiu Yiqing closed the last page of the official document, walked over and saw the book spread out on the small table: "Ghosts and strange tales?"

Ye Baiting looked at it without raising his head: "Well, prepare a gift for my nephew."

Qiu Yiqing's fingertips slid across the pages of the story of a lonely soul in the wilderness: "Are you preparing this as a gift for the children?"

Ye Baiting sighed: "No way, they just like this."

"At this age, do you like ghost stories?"

"Blame me," Ye Baiting rubbed his nose, "the two of them have been full of energy since they were young, and since they can climb up, they can walk. The grown-ups have a headache, and they dare to catch bugs everywhere when they can walk. They also divide labor and cooperate, pretending to be each other. If I don’t fight in the sky, I will go to the house to expose the tiles. As long as my sister is not there, she is basically disobedient and can’t be coaxed. The children are still young, and it’s useless to reason with them. I will..."

"Tell ghost stories to scare them?"

"...Well." Ye Baiting sighed, "At first, I made up a very scary ghost, saying that the ghost would come and arrest them if they were disobedient. They were afraid at first, but after listening to it, they got used to it and were not afraid anymore. I can only tell about more powerful ghosts...then the two kids felt that nothing else was interesting and not exciting enough, so they pestered me to tell ghost stories when they saw me."

Qiu Xunqing: "A Ting never told me a story."

Ye Baiting: "You want to hear it?"

Qiu Yiqing: "...um."

Ye Baiting looked at the book in his hand, and suddenly wanted to try the effect of this ghost story: "Okay, then sit down."

He really told a story to Qiu Yiqing, and then found it boring, because this person is not afraid of anything! He is also full of logic and has decryption skills. He just put a hook, and the suspense just started to build, this person put Guess what happened next...

What else is there to talk about?

Ye Baiting threw the book away: "This one doesn't seem to work."

Qiu Xunqing picked up a book scattered in the corner of the kang: "You can talk about this, I probably don't know it well."

Ye Baiting saw that this was not a serious ghost story at all, but an evocative story about a scholar in a wild temple meeting a vixen.

"You want me to tell the child this?" I deliberately picked it out because it is inappropriate!How old are his twin cubs!

"They're not right, I'm right."

Seeing that the man had a straight face and acted like a wolf with a big tail, Ye Baiting understood: "You did it on purpose? Just want to hear this?"

Qiu Yiqing looked over, with deep eyebrows: "Did Ting Ting not dare?"

Ye Baiting just laughed: "I'm not thinking of the commander, I'm afraid you'll hear it... you won't be able to bear it."

Qiu Yiqing: "You can try."

I don't know why, but when Ye Baiting is in love, he always has a strange desire to win, of course he won't admit defeat at this time, he really picks up the book and talks!

In the end...no one lost, and no one won.

The scholar in the wild temple is a young man, no matter how tough a gentleman is, he can't match the most primitive desires in his heart. It's overwhelming...

A lingering kiss can always heat up an ambiguous night.

Ye Baiting couldn't help breathing, and put his hand on Qiu Yiqing's chest: "You tonight..."

Qiu Yiqing pulled his hand away and held him tightly in his arms, his heart beating involuntarily: "I just sleep here."

Ye Baiting: "I forgot to ask you before, but does it work?"

Chou Yiqing didn't say yes, nor said no: "...Need to try again."

"Did you do it on purpose? Trick me?"

"Would Ting Ting be willing?"

"Forget it, just go to sleep, I'm a little sleepy, and I'll settle accounts with you later."

"it is good."

I didn't walk a lot today, but my mood was ups and downs and I was very excited. Ye Baiting was really sleepy and soon fell asleep. Qiu Yiqing hugged the person in his arms and sighed slowly.

Forget it, it will be a long time in the future, there is always a chance.

……

After waking up from sleep, Ye Baiting was full of energy, waiting for the surprise her brother-in-law would bring him.

Qiu Yiqing was about to send someone to Zhuzhilou to hand over, but he didn't expect his brother-in-law's work efficiency to improve, so he sent him directly to Beizhen Fusi.

Ye Baiting didn't even go out the gate, so he went directly to the main hall with Qiu Yiqing, and saw the man standing in front of the hall.He is not tall, but also very thin, with small eyes and a high nose bridge. He is neither good-looking nor ugly, but shy. He looks too timid, and his temperament has lost several points. He looks very shy. Young people in their twenties already have the frustration of middle-aged people.

Qiu Xunqing: "What's your name?"

The man's gestures of speaking and saluting are also very restrained: "The villain's surname is Yu, Yu Lianhai."

"Why are you here, you know?"

"Know, know."

"Say."

"Yes, the villain left Beijing the day before yesterday, and had an argument with someone at the restaurant where he was resting on the official road..."

"who?"

"Doctor of the Ministry of Justice, He Yiming is the servant of Lord He." Yu Lianhai said that he felt wronged, "The restaurant is so big and there are so many tables, and it's not that they can't sit down. , I don’t want to let it go, I was not in a good mood at the time, my attitude was a little hard, they got angry, pointed at my nose and asked me to give way, shouting and killing, I just... just bald and said they Follow the example, what the master is, what the servants are, everyone is a murderer, and then... was detained."

Ye Baiting listened to Xin Qi: "You were not detained by the He family, but by someone else?"

"That's right," Yu Lianhai quietly looked around, "Where's the master who detained me, why isn't he here?"

Ye Baiting: "Do you know why others detain you?"

Yu Lianhai: "Maybe I said that He Yiming killed someone? The master asked me and told me to talk about it, but I was just in a hurry and said it casually. There is no evidence... The man The master was a little bit reluctant and refused to let me go. Just at this time, I had diarrhea, and I was lucky to escape, but the master who I had diarrhea did not let me go, and found someone to guard me for a day. Su, you brought me here today..."

Ye Baiting understood, it was at the restaurant beside the official road outside Beijing, Yu Lianhai stopped to eat, so did the servants of He's family, brother-in-law took the children to refresh and sat down together.Yu Lianhai had a quarrel with the servants of He's family. The brother-in-law heard that something was wrong, so he protected Yu Lianhai once and detained him. He didn't let him go anywhere, and he didn't leave Beijing. Arrived at Beizhen Fusi lobby.

Brother-in-law is not a casual person, it is impossible for others to feel that something is wrong with a casual sentence, and if he insists on causing trouble, he will be like this, he must have noticed some details.

"You quarreled with the servants of the He family. What did you say? Tell me clearly."

Yu Lianhai was startled: "The villain just said everything."

Ye Baiting looked at him: "Repeat all the conversations between you."

"This... okay, let me think about it," Yu Lianhai recalled slowly, speaking slowly, "I ordered a bowl of noodles at that time, and before I had eaten two bites, the servants of the He family came in, a group of seven or eight One, talking while walking, seems to be out of Beijing to buy things, and everyone has different opinions on the price. One said that the owner has always been low-key, and they don’t behave well. The other said that it’s okay to be low-key in the capital. The Patriarch is not a low-key person in his bones, if he wants to satisfy the Patriarch, they have to pay attention to the purchases and services, and know what the boss means..."

"There are a lot of seats in the hall, it's not that there are no big tables. They took a fancy to my seat and insisted on letting me go. If I were more polite, I would be fine, but when they came up, they said I was ugly, looked at my clothes, and said you A small clerk dares to delay the affairs of adults, can he afford to deal with problems?"

"I'm really not a character, just a small clerk. I can't even get on the errands in the capital, so I can only go out. I feel uncomfortable in my heart. They still bully me like this, so I don't let it go, saying that my face has not yet come. After eating, they rolled up their sleeves and wanted to beat me. I was afraid, and said without choice, saying that their Patriarch He Yiming is not a good person, and he has killed people..."

Ye Baiting: "Who did he kill?"

Yu Lianhai shrank his neck: "No, no one, I made it up."

"fake?"

"I just said that casually, and I really didn't intend to cause trouble," Yu Lianhai knelt down and kowtowed, "Although the status of a civil servant is not very promising, he is still a job. I am in a hurry to take over the post. I really don't want to cause any trouble. Let the two adults let me go, huh? It’s really just a little quarrel, if it doesn’t work, I can kowtow to Master He to admit my mistake!”

Ye Baiting raised his eyes slightly: "Do you think you are wrong?"

Yu Lianhai clenched his fingers tightly and did not speak.

"Then why admit your mistake?"

"Isn't this...the situation is stronger than people?" Yu Lianhai licked his lips, his voice was slightly astringent, "Others are officials in the capital, high-ranking big shots, I have no skills, so I have to admit that you are not afraid of anything, Jin Yiwei, I No, there are still young and old in my family, my mother is getting old, my wife is pregnant, and there is a younger sister who hasn't said goodbye yet..."

After listening to some of his rambling words, Ye Baiting also saw something: "The person He Yiming killed was your relatives and friends?"

Yu Lianhai's eyes were fixed, and he looked at Ye Baiting in disbelief: "You, how do you know..."

Ye Baiting made a decisive decision: "You should think about it. The Commander of Jin Yiwei personally handles the case. It's a rare opportunity. After this time, there will be no next time. Do you want to talk about it or not?"

Yu Lianhai gritted his teeth, his eyelids trembling rapidly.

Qiu Suqing said in a deep voice: "I still don't want to cooperate in the envoy's hall, but you suspect that you have been linked with this person's death?"

"no!"

Yu Lianhai knocked his head to the ground: "It's my friend...my friend Yu Wenzhang died at the hands of He Yiming!"
