Xia Fengjing in the eighth year of Yuanxi

The most unspeakable person in the court has returned.

When she came, there was still the chill of a blade, and when she stepped into the Zichen Palace dressed in black, the ministers who had been whispering were immediately as quiet as chickens.

Without him, Chi Qing had only been back for three days, and Tianshusi had been reorganized.

Several personnel transfer orders were issued in one day, and some people in the six departments of Tianshu Division were grounded, relegated or even dismissed.

The old case that had been archived recently was brought out by her for re-examination, which made all relevant officials panic.

The last time the Tianshu Division made such a big move was when the empress had just ascended the throne and Chi Qing had just taken office as the director of the Tianshu Division.

The latest news is that a criminal minister who was originally sentenced to exile by acting chief Gu Chen was sentenced to death by her.

All the ministers began to miss Gu Chen who was always smiling and easy to talk to.

But at any rate, until the end of the court meeting, that person had been standing quietly under the imperial steps, and everyone could only see her casual and lazy standing posture, and the famous long knife called "Eternal Ancient" behind her.

After the eunuch stretched his voice and said "Back to court" loudly, someone let out a long breath, probably for a while, and the sound was particularly obvious in the quiet Zichen Palace.

"Zhao Aiqing, what's the matter?" The empress glanced at her phoenix eyes, not angry, but the officials who sighed in fright quickly shook their heads and denied: "No, no!"

"Since that's the case, step back, Chi Qing, you stay."

After the empress got up and turned to the screen, the twelve pearls and jade on the crown collided with each other, and the sound was clear and crisp.

The official named by the empress wiped the cold sweat off his forehead in a hurry.

Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The layout of the palace is simple, at first glance it looks like an ordinary family's study, the palace is filled with a faint fragrance of winter plums, which makes people feel more refreshed after smelling it.

The Empress of the Dayue Dynasty, Zhao Zhuoqu, was looking at a topographic map at her desk at the moment.

"The plan and personnel for the investigation of the Lin Mansion are all decided by me, but Lin Jinyan is obviously prepared for a long time. The private soldiers and secret guards kept in the Lin Mansion far exceed the regulations. The spies in the Tianshu Division who are in touch with the Lin Mansion have to be dealt with." Check again."

"Lin Jinyan stationed troops in Bailu Mountain, opened up a school field, and attracted wild animals to run away and hurt people.

I searched for a long time but couldn't find the place where his troops were stationed, but I accidentally caught a few private soldiers who had fled, so I asked where he was. "

"However, the schoolyard is obviously less regulated, and most of the personnel are bandits who should have been pardoned and returned home after the bandits were suppressed a few years ago.

The personnel of the main private army and the area where it is located are still unknown, and rash actions may scare the snake. At that time, he only needs to push all the charges to the bandit leader, and then he can cut off his tail to survive. " Chi Qing stood beside Zhao Zhuoqu, lowering her eyes and said slowly.

After hearing this, Zhao Zhuoqu pondered for a moment, and when he spoke again, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and he was even more fierce: "He is so bold, there are always people who don't understand the reason why the human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant."

"The enemy is dark and we are clear. This matter needs a long-term plan. I have to think about it." Zhao Zhuoqu waved his hand, signaling Chi Qing to go back first.When Chi Qing walked to the door, she suddenly remembered something and stopped her: "Wait."

Chi Qing turned around to look at her, saw Zhao Zhuoju's gossiping face, his eyes were obviously full of excitement, but his voice was extremely low: "I heard that you are eating rice at a little girl's house?"

Chi Qing: ""

But at this moment, in the mouth of the Empress, the little girl who was "eating rice" - Xie Niannian was sitting on the steps in the yard, idly playing with the pear flower hairpin in her hand.

One month after Chi Qing left, she felt sleepy and unaccustomed to doing anything.The newly recruited kitchen helper is not too slow in his knife skills.

The employees in the store also have family members, so they eat dinner by themselves every time, and there is no one watching carefully with their heads propped up when cooking.

Bored and wanted to make maltose, she had to move the materials by herself, boil the glutinous rice porridge in the big pot by herself, and when the syrup was boiled at the end, she sat alone in front of the pot, and when the golden syrup was filled into the jar, the sky was already dawning.

The sound of yelling and selling was faintly heard on the street, and the fireworks of Wanjia were steaming. You can see it from the window. Xie Niannian stirred up a ball of golden and viscous maltose with two chopsticks, and pulled it into a milky white twist.

She tore off a piece and put it in her mouth, tasted the maltose aroma like a long stream of water, but suddenly her nose was sour, and she almost shed tears.

After staying up all night, not wanting to sleep, the first thought she tasted was that the sweetness was just right, Chi Qing should like it.

Recalling the scene at that time, Xie Niannian pulled out the sharp middle blade of the hairpin with force, and the cold light on the blade was overwhelming.

It was clear that Chi Qing left without saying goodbye, and walked away freely, leaving himself here saddened, but still thinking about asking her to eat candy.

"Tuktuk." There was a knock on the door outside the small courtyard.

Xie Niannian put away his thoughts, put away the blade in the hairpin, inserted the hairpin in the bun, and went to open the door.She invited Mrs. Wu to have tea.

Since the opening of the Red Furnace Restaurant, Xie Niannian also took the time to find Sister Wu and inform her.Not long after it opened, she even specially came to the Red Furnace Hall to support Xie Niannian.

"Girl, I haven't seen you for half a month, why are you getting thinner?" Mrs. Wu asked about Xie Niannian's body as soon as she sat down.

Xie Niannian poured her a cup of jasmine tea. The tea was chilled in the well, and some mint leaves were added to make it cool and refreshing in summer.She also sat down herself, and said casually, "It's probably because it's hot and I don't have much appetite."

Mrs. Wu looked around the yard and asked hesitantly, "Your friend, did you say when you will be back?"

She also knew that Xie Niannian had a very good friend, the person Shangsi accompanied Xie Niannian to watch the fireworks that day.

The day she came to the Red Furnace Pavilion, she had seen her from a distance, her figure was as tall as a bamboo, and she was more beautiful than any girl she had ever seen.

When Xie Niannian heard it, he lowered the corner of his mouth, took out a piece of orange candy he made himself from his pocket, threw it into his mouth and bit it into a crunching sound: "She didn't say anything."

Seeing this, Mrs. Wu took a sip of tea and sighed, "My daughter, you don't look like you lost a friend, but rather like you lost a lover."

Xie Niannian chewed the sweet and sour orange candy: "Sister-in-law Wu, stop teasing me."

"Think about it carefully, how can there be any friends worthy of your concern?" Mrs. Wu kindly comforted her: "You said she didn't keep anything, how can there be such a friend? I didn't even give you a contact method, I'm afraid it's not a lie The son of a rich family with human feelings."

It is true that he did not leave any contact information, but the land deed, education and means of settling down are enough for him to live easily in Xuanzhou City for the rest of his life.

Aunt Wu looked at Xie Niannian who was already in a low mood, and she was so distracted when she said that, she didn't know what to think.She quickly changed the subject: "Your location is really good, didn't you choose it for a long time?"

"She picked it with me." Xie Niannian replied subconsciously.

"Then you manage the store by yourself, and you have to pay the rent every month. It's very hard. Be kind to yourself."

Xie Niannian was still in a daze: "No, she bought this shop as a gift for me, so she doesn't have to pay the rent."

"" Mrs. Wu was silent, she couldn't continue talking today.

She finished her tea in two or three sips, chatted a few more words, and then got up to say goodbye to Xie Niannian. Before she left, she held Niannian's hand to persuade: "Girl, listen to my advice, you are not like this." Ways, even friends don’t deal with it like this. Let’s put your mind to it earlier.”

Xie Niannian agreed casually and sent Aunt Wu away.What he thought was that Chi Qing never meant to lie to himself.

There is no one who will light a lamp for himself in the silent night, hug himself in his arms and softly comfort him, endure the noise for a while to watch fireworks with him, and walk across the Qingshi Long Street in the hazy drizzle go home by yourself.

She took off the pear flower hairpin on her head, caressed the lifelike petals carefully, and pulled out a self-deprecating smile, thinking that she was planted on this moon that is so far away.

Xie Niannian suddenly clenched the hairpin in his hand, and secretly made a decision that he had never dared to think about before - she was going to find Chi Qing, which was an confession to herself.

To find someone, one must have a place, an identity.But Xie Niannian only knew that Chi Qing was returning to Beijing to return to his life, and his identity was all guesswork by himself.

Chi Qing is very skilled and knows the affairs of officials very well, how can ordinary people care about these things.She should have been born in the court, and might even have a decent status.

However, Xie Niannian went through his memories before he passed through the book, but he couldn't find any plot about Chi Qing from the book, not even her name appeared.

If she hadn't compared it with her original body's memory repeatedly when she first transmigrated, she would have wondered if this was the novel she read.

If a person like Chi Qing who is almost a fairy and has no appearance has any connection with the court, why doesn't he appear in the book?

Could it be that he guessed wrong, Chi Qing is actually not that high and powerful, or is he just a hidden guard, shadow or something?Of course, there is another possibility.

Back then, I hadn't finished reading that book.The author said that there are two more chapters to finish, but he died suddenly before seeing the end.Could it be that in the last two chapters, the author can send a character from the sky?

Xie Niannian had a headache thinking about it alone, suddenly another person who might know about Chaotang, Zhou Ci, flashed into his mind.

The next day, Wenyuan Academy.

"Sorry, Miss Xie." Xie Peng cupped his hands in salute, frowning: "Men went to Fengjing to visit friends the day before yesterday, and he won't be back until two months later."

Xie Niannian felt that the small calculations in his heart were scattered all over the place, and the light in his eyes dimmed instantly.

Seeing this, Xie Pengju comforted, "Is there something urgent, Miss? If possible, I can help."

"I want to ask Mr. Zhou about someone." Xie Niannian shook his head lightly. Xie Pengju hadn't entered an official yet, so he wouldn't know about it even if he was asked.

"Why don't you wait two more months, girl?"

Wait two more months.Xie Niannian didn't know if her enthusiasm could last until that time, she thought for a while, she raised her head, her eyes were as bright as the morning light: "Don't wait, I'll go to Fengjing to visit him."

Xie Pengju was taken aback for a moment, as if he didn't understand why Xie Niannian was in such a hurry, but he still patiently wrote down the place where Zhou Ci lived temporarily, and handed it to Xie Niannian: "Miss, be careful on the road."

In the next few days, Xie Niannian closed the store and made a special trip back to Lihua Village to find Village Chief Xie.

Long time no see, the old man is still ruddy and in good health. "Thank you, Grandpa." Xie Niannian greeted with a smile, and then went straight to the topic: "I have something urgent to go to the capital. If you are free, can you help take care of my house?"

"I used to look after your house for you, so you're welcome." The old man agreed without thinking.

After dealing with the real estate in Lihua Village, Xie Niannian returned to Xuanzhou City, gave his subordinates a two-month long vacation, and paid wages as usual.She found Mrs. Wu and said goodbye to her.

"Are you going to the capital?" Mrs. Wu was so shocked that she even took away the jujube cake from her hand.

"Yes, I'm going to look for her." Xie Niannian replied generously.

"Looking for her? Girl, I'm afraid you've been fascinated. Why did you think about these things in the first place?"

Xie Niannian smiled, without any reluctance: "I know. But if I don't go, I will feel regretful when I think about it later. Even if there is no result this time, I am willing to go to the appointment for my sincerity."

Seeing that she couldn't persuade herself, Mrs. Wu had no choice but to tell her a few words, and promised to help Xie Niannian take care of the shop when she had time.

The Red Furnace Restaurant, which was booming in Xuanzhou City, suddenly closed its doors, and all the foodies lamented the lack of a good place to go, but they didn't know that the proprietress had already gone straight to the capital in a carriage.

It was already early autumn when I arrived in Beijing.

When Xie Niannian left the capital, the peach blossoms in the city were in full bloom, like a hazy sea of ​​clouds.

But at that time, Xie Niannian was not in the mood to appreciate it, and all he could think about was staying away from the vicious female supporting role who made trouble every day.

Now that she revisited the old place, when the phoenix trees were covered with gold, she could stop and appreciate a little.

It was getting late, Xie Niannian was holding a glutinous rice dumpling, looking for a place to stay while eating.

The soft and glutinous glutinous rice balls are mixed with bacon shreds, which are very salty and very filling, which is very popular with her.

She had only taken a few bites when she heard a commotion behind her, followed by a young girl's crisp yelling: "Get out of the way!"

Xie Niannian subconsciously dodged to the side due to the reaction he had practiced with Chi Qing's moves, his elbow was still hit squarely, and it hurt.

The half of the unfinished glutinous rice dumpling fell out of his hand and rolled around in the mud on the ground.

Before Xie Niannian had time to feel sorry for his glutinous rice dumplings, he saw a commoner man running wildly on the street, not only hitting Xie Niannian, but also smashing the porcelain pots and small stalls by the roadside, leaving the ground in a mess.

Behind him was a short figure, but his speed was extremely fast. He ignored the obstacles on the road and chased after him.

"Om—" The sound of the sword resounded through the street, and that person stepped on someone's bullock cart and jumped up. The sword light formed a semicircle behind her, and then went directly towards the man in front.

After the scream, a sword hit his left shoulder directly, almost nailing him to the ground.

The people around were all pale from the fright of the accident, and had long been hiding away.

At this moment, there was only a petite girl and a man lying on the ground who could not move in the middle of the long street.

The girl looked young, perhaps only twelve or thirteen years old, with some baby fat on her small face, which made her look even more cute.

But in the scene just now, no one who saw her would think that she was an ordinary little girl.

Not long after, a group of panting yamen servants came running from behind.

One of them hadn't even breathed yet, so he tremblingly stepped forward and bowed to the little girl: "My lord, this person is what our Criminal Department wants to investigate, look"

The girl frowned, looking very proud: "Our Tianshu Division wants this person, if you have anything to do, please talk to the director."

"This this"

Xie Niannian, who watched the whole process from the sidelines, thought to himself: Hehe, Tianshusi, you are still so crazy.
