When leaving the palace, the Qining Street was still full of lights, but the crowds had receded, and only the horseshoes could be heard rolling around with the wheels, making it more peaceful and comfortable.

Ministers and family members left the palace one after another. Since the king of Nan'an and the princess of Southern Chu had left the banquet, Su Luo hadn't seen them return to the banquet.

There were two groups of foreign envoys living in the palace, and Concubine Rong Gui had just given birth, so the old father naturally had to stay in the palace.

He was worried that Su Luo would return home alone, so he invited the Wang family to give him a ride.

Lord Wang and several other ministers were invited to the Imperial Study Room. Wang Xu was younger than him, so he should have sent her home. Unexpectedly, there was another person with him.

From the Sipingdu lawsuit chief, Wang Zhu.

Wang Zhu is the old son of Lord Wang Bin, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, that is, the uncle of Miss Wang Xu. He is only [-] years old this year. He and her second brother are in the same batch of Jinshi.

Su Luo was not stupid, so she naturally saw her old father's thoughts.

Wang Zhu is not stupid, he also understands his old father's thoughts.

The two of them knew it well, and they sat in the car obediently without speaking.

Wang Xu was held back by Su Luo when she was at the banquet, but the relationship between her and her little uncle was not in a friendly way——

Both of them grew up spoiled by the family, and when they started troubles, one was more violent than the other, and their temperaments were also fiercer than the other. Wang Zhu restrained himself a bit when he entered the officialdom, and the little girl was just being praised by others. At that time, her temperament was unavoidable, especially in front of people close to her. She had a lot of fun with her little uncle along the way, and she was fair. It stopped after being drunk by her little uncle.

Maybe it's because she thinks that she doesn't like these two people. Instead of her future little aunt being punished by her little uncle, it's better to let two people she hates get together and hurt each other, so she is very happy to see the two people's affairs become.

When Su Luo got out of the car, his eyes met with Wang Zhu's for a moment, and the meaning of each other became clear.

She didn't go back to the mansion until the carriage of the palace was far away. The housekeeper rushed to welcome her back, and said a few words about the king's boss lightly on the way.

"A year ago, a water seller discovered that a family of three in Tonghua Lane in the south of the city had been murdered, and Mr. Xiao Wang arrested the thieves within three days."

"He solved a lot of criminal cases at a young age."

"The official voice in the hearts of the people is also good."

"This time, someone from the peace mission group that came with Nanchu was involved in it, intending to misbehave with the princess. After being discovered, the dog jumped over the wall and injured several people's names. When I came out, I also hurt many businessmen in Daliang. After Jingzhao Yamen arrested them, it was difficult to deal with them. After they were handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Mr. Xiao Wang came forward to resolve them. No more disputes arose. His case record reads: Well, you are also a celebrity in front of His Majesty!"

"Not only that, but in the past two years he was busy sorting out the files of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and asked him to find out some old cases. The records in those cases were all slaves. His lord Xiao Wang cleared those people's grievances, please tell your majesty Eliminate the slave status of their descendants, there are more than 30 people!"

"The future is limitless."

Su Luo listened to the butler's praise and didn't say a word. She didn't speak until he finished his last sentence, and then she said, "Do people often die at the feet of the Son of Heaven?"

The housekeeper was taken aback, then laughed, "Miss doesn't know that she doesn't go out often, how can there be no vicious person in the world? These people are pushed into a hurry, how can they care about the foot of the emperor, the important place of the imperial city?

It is at the feet of the Son of Heaven that there are many troubles like this. If you change to some remote places, a county magistrate can turn these big things into small ones, and look at peace all year round. "

Su Luo sighed and didn't know what he was thinking.

The housekeeper hurriedly said, "Look at this old slave's mouth, the words of the Shangyuan Festival scare the girl, right?

Don't worry, girl, even if our Imperial Army Commander's Mansion is quietly moved away, it won't hurt the girl in the slightest. Don't worry, girl, the master will be back tomorrow morning. "

After the steward finished speaking, Su Luo was led out of the house by Yun Jin. The back door was dark and her feet were unstable. She supported the wall and accidentally scratched her palm a little.

It can be seen that some words are still too early to say.

Seeing that she was still giggling, Yun Jin said helplessly, "What's so funny?"

Su Luo followed Yunjin to the entrance of the alley, and repeated what the butler said, "But what he said is not bad, with the jade makeup, this injury can be healed in the blink of an eye, as if it hadn't been injured."

"Heal quickly and not without pain."

Yunjin led the people aimlessly, and she couldn't think of any places worth seeing in the capital, so she only walked towards the bright place. After a few turns, the two walked on Qining Street. The lanterns have not been withdrawn, and the deceptive red is still everywhere.

Su Luo was a little absent-minded, she vaguely saw the meaning of chaos under the undercurrent of surging flowers.

She has never seen one or two of Chaotang Yungui, and she has never been involved in the harem battle, only in today's night banquet, knowing that Southern Chu will not let it go, and Western Jin is also eyeing.

They were only afraid of Daliang's elite soldiers and the restraint behind them, so they didn't act hastily.

Xi Rong had just fought a battle with the Western Jin Dynasty, and the southern border is full of poisonous miasma, it is difficult for outsiders to enter, and it is also difficult for them to get out. The neighbors of these beams, only the transparent people of Dong Rong exist, but according to the plot of the original book , Dongrong is obviously the fuse that started the war in Kyushu

"What are you thinking?" Yun Jin suddenly said, "I'm about to hit a tree."

"Ah?" Su Luo came back to her senses, her eyes were open, how could there be any trees?

Seeing the unhappiness in Yunjin's eyes, she shook her head, "It's nothing, I just didn't expect to see Lianxiang here."

Yun Jin's tone could not hear praise or criticism, "Dogs that bite people never bark."

"By the way, I heard you said that the prince went to the Northwest Camp, did something happen there, and the New Year's Eve still has to rush there?"

"It's just a routine business, after all, Dongrong doesn't call it."

Su Luo was relieved to hear that she didn't ignore Dong Rong's meaning, and after a few sentences, the topic somehow returned to Lianxiang.

Yun Jin said: "Accordingly, Lianxiang is still a slave, and now she has fled to the capital, and she has to get the old case overturned. A beating is inevitable. This case involves officials above rank seven, and in the end it will be handled by the capital. After all, Mr. Xiao Wang offended Cai Tongquan, the head of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs when he dealt with the Southern Chu Mission, if he is determined to fight with Wang Zhu, it is not impossible to fight."

Su Luo nodded, "It seems that the matter of Lianxiang may not be a foregone conclusion."

"It's a foregone conclusion. Wang Zhu must know about her arrival in the capital. Otherwise, she is an orphan girl. How can she escape all the investigations? I'm afraid Wang Zhu confessed to the matter before the emperor, otherwise he never Sipin, if you want to turn over ordinary old cases, it’s fine, if it involves court officials, even if he is the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, he will have to spend some time explaining it, and the investigation is still limited everywhere.”

Su Luo looked surprised, "You figured it out after such a short time?"

Yun Jin didn't hold anything too high, "I asked people to watch Wang Zhu's case investigation in the past two years, and I could vaguely see something strange. For example, among the five people killed in the Southern Chu Mission, three of them were from Daliang. I found out that they were gifts from merchants in Xianzhou, and it is common for slaves to buy and sell gifts, but generally speaking, most of the relatives and missions are exclusive. These three people can actually take care of the daily life of the princess. I was a little suspicious, so I asked someone to investigate. Thanks to Mr. Huang, not only did we find out who the merchants were who gave away the servants, but also their recent activities. Coincidentally, they all went to a place called Feng County in Xianzhou."

"Feng County?"

"Yes, Feng County is remote, and most of them are hunters, and those merchants have some fur goods.

But I didn't know the connection at the time, and now I understand after seeing Lianxiang, I'm afraid she fled to Feng County to avoid the pursuit of officers and soldiers, it was a coincidence that she met these businessmen, and I don't know how she persuaded them , I mixed among a group of servants, and entered Beijing through the Southern Chu mission. "

"But what does this have to do with Wang Zhu?"

Yun Jin stopped suddenly, looked at Su Luo without blinking, and said, "Just now I mentioned that Lord Xiao Wang offended Cai Tongquan because of the Southern Chu Mission, you didn't look surprised at all, think about this Lord Xiao Wang Someone has already told you all about your deeds, right?"

It's not too early, it was only half an hour ago, Su Luo thought to herself.Seeing her reaction, Yun Jin snorted coldly, and said in an unhappy tone, "If it's something else, it's fine. When it comes to Nan Chu's matter, he can't be careless. Nan Chu was defeated, and all the records of the prisoners were in his hands. This time the Southern Chu Mission killed people, he will definitely use the name of protection to find out all the members of the Southern Chu Mission. If it is as I guessed, Lianxiang entered Beijing through the Southern Chu Mission. Then it must not hide from his eyes.

Unless there is a hand behind Lianxiang that I don't know, this is the only way for an orphan to come to the palace alone. "

Su Luo never doubted Yun Jin's conjecture, but was even more surprised by her attention to Wang Zhu, "Does Mr. Wang Zhu have a problem with you? It seems that you don't like him very much."

She asked in a cautious tone, but Yunjin's complexion was even worse, and she smiled angrily, "Why, is he so attractive?"

"That's not true." Su Luo habitually said, "It's just that I didn't expect you to be able to investigate any doubts in the case so thoroughly."

Yun Jin looked at her deeply, her expression didn't feel relieved, instead she had Gu Heiyun's overpowering threat, she almost gritted her teeth, and squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth, "I didn't know, you are becoming more and more capable of pretending to be stupid now. !"

Su Luo consciously sighed, but in fact, she just pursed her lips. How should I say this?

Her second elder brother taught her to be humble at home, and that difficult Aunt Qiao was not easy to get along with, and everyone in the house would inevitably avoid her when they saw her, so they seemed to be at peace with her. , she occasionally bumped into Aunt Qiao waiting for people from outside the house to come in, and her second brother only wanted her to pretend not to know.

She thought that she was the only rebel in the whitewashed peace, but she had also developed such a problem unknowingly. Now that she was in front of Yun Jin, she realized that her intentions were covered.

"At first, I thought it was my father and Mr. Wang. It was something that hadn't been filmed, but I didn't expect you to know about it."

Yun Jin asked, "So you know now, and you've met him, what do you think?"

"I think he is very nice, but the two of us are not suitable."

Su Luo felt like a primary school student who was called by the dean to give a lecture. He paused and continued, "He also thinks it's inappropriate. This matter should not be possible."

Yun Jin's pupils shrank slightly, as if she was examining the truth of this sentence, and she said after a while, "The Zheng family should be back soon."

Seeing her appearance, Su Luo read out the four characters bluntly, but still followed her words and asked, "The Zheng family, Zheng Junqing, why is he going back to Beijing all of a sudden?"

"Before you knew Rong Guifei, who was the only noble concubine in the palace?"

Su Luo still knows about Zheng Junqing's aunt, Concubine Zheng, but Concubine Rong was promoted to Concubine because she was pregnant with a dragon heir. After the empress left, she was in charge of the harem. With such power in the harem, the previous dynasty had to be more cautious. This is why the Zheng family avoided military power by treating Uncle Zheng's leg disease.

But since he decided to eliminate His Majesty's grudge, why did he come back when Concubine Rong gave birth?

Yun Jin took a look at the sky, turned around and started to walk back, Su Luo trotted two steps to keep up, she curled her lips and continued, "Concubine Zheng has no children under her knees, but she has a good relationship with the former empress, the crown prince gave birth to the eldest son , the position of the Eastern Palace is not up to others to covet, I'm afraid it's our Majesty."

Su Luo shuddered suddenly, "You mean Rui?"

Su Luo stopped her mouth in time, but Yun Jin showed a bit of madness in her panicked eyes.

"Tell me, when the world is in chaos, will those who hold military power be able to say the same thing?"
