The Prequel of Baolian Lantern Konghouyin

"I've also thought about this," Cun Xin nodded and said, "Since He is so kind-hearted, Ao Qi will never take in her son again. I just sent someone to deliver a letter to Ao Xiang—only she can read In the case of uncle and nephew, Ao Qiong has been brought up on behalf of Lord Qiantang." Seeing Yang Jian smiling, Cun Xin agreed with Zhong Kui, and turned to leave.Here Zhong Kui also wanted to resign. Seeing Yang Jian raised his hand and suppressed it, knowing that he still had something to say, he stood at the bottom of the steps with his hands down and listened quietly.

"I heard that you recently trained troops in Fengdu Valley and killed three Jingjue captains in a row?"

"Yes." Zhong Kui said with great emotion, "If it weren't for their vegetarian meals, how could the evil spirits in the blood pond have escaped so easily? Before I followed your order to reorganize the army, the number of ghost soldiers reported by them was 820. Unexpectedly, only less than 5000 people actually showed up for the first drill in Daying, including the old, weak, sick, and disabled! I have a little "otherwise" on my face, these few elite captains Just quarreled with me in public, saying that it was cold and freezing, sent people out to hunt and cut firewood, and said that there are ten temples of hell kings in the underworld, and the heavens only care about them when they are full!" He was extremely angry, He straightened his back and said angrily with his boxing column, "I threw out the roster and asked them to roll my name one by one according to the head. It was only halfway through when the ghost leader who led the team came back, and I They were ordered to stop them outside the camp, and they were asked one by one why they were sent. Unexpectedly, two hundred of them went to receive military equipment, one hundred went to patrol the mountains, and there were fifty or so who left without authorization after midnight in the morning. They went to various halls to find relatives and friends! Needless to say, these three captains either didn’t even know about their errands, or they deliberately lied to me, and the other 400 people were all vacant. , all went into the stomachs of these bastards..."

"Zhengnan," Yang Jian saw that he was furious, poured a bowl of tea himself, and handed it into Zhong Kui's hands. Seeing him calm down, he patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "There is nothing wrong with rectifying the army discipline, Fengdu A place like this is bad, there are no rules, and something big will happen. It’s just that you can’t imagine that Fengdu Valley is the place where the defense of the underworld is the most important. These soldiers face the most vicious ghosts in the entire Nine Nether and Eighteen Hells every day. It is also the most tyrannical and filthy hostility in the underworld, and it is not easy to stay there for many years."

Zhong Kui was taken aback, lowered his head and thought for a while, his disapproval lessened, and he was about to speak when he heard Yang Jian say slowly: "Military law is ruthless, and I'm not a womanizer, but strict military law can only cure the symptoms, but you have to think carefully about it." Think about how to stop the source of the chaos, and get to the bottom of it.” He looked at Zhong Kui gently and said, “You kill people as soon as you take office, and you kill the elite captain who is only half a level behind you. Please obey this order, but it will inevitably attract material criticism, so I still want to reprimand you in terms of face."

Zhong Kui was thoughtful at first, but as soon as Yang Jian's words came out, he already understood most of them, and then he clasped his fists and smiled and said, "The reprimand is for others to see, I don't care. You're right, I'll go back right away, so I can sort things out." Tiao Chen comes up to show the second master!"

Yang Jian smiled approvingly and said something else, only to hear the Caotou God stationed outside the hall say loudly: "Third Princess, Zhenjun is still talking to Judge Zhong..." followed by Cun Xin's voice: " It's okay, I will wait here with the Prince of Qiantang."

Yang Jian stepped forward and opened the door of the palace, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is just right, I am about to send someone to invite you."

Cun Xin just sent Ao Qi into the hall and left.For some reason, she didn't feel close to the prince, but felt that he was too respectful and polite, and besides his humility, there was an indescribable indifference and forbearance.In the side hall, Ao Qi saw the detailed case, and knew that Zhong Kui pretended to be Lord Qiantang and told the whole story from He's mouth, but he just sat quietly in the chair from the beginning to the end, without saying a word. He spoke calmly, as if the whole matter had nothing to do with him.After Cun Xin finished speaking, Ao Qi stood up slowly, bowed to her and said, "Thank you princess for your trouble, and finally my father was wronged."

Cun Xin hurriedly returned the courtesy and said: "It all depends on your father's careful arrangements during his lifetime. The judicial gods arranged it properly, but I didn't help much." Bad heart, you must not blame her."

"What the princess said is what the princess said." Ao Qi said word by word with still such a calm expression, "Sister Xiang is just looking after her widow mother and younger brother for the sake of her father and king. She has always been a chivalrous hero. Unexpectedly, Sister Xiang will definitely not stand idly by." He sighed, "It is always my fault of virtue and filial piety when I was young, which will attract God's punishment - even the He family, I dare not hold resentment in my heart."

Hearing him say "no complaints", Cun Xin couldn't help but feel a little relieved.But Ao Qi's words are too "open and aboveboard" anyway, and it is too unreasonable, but Cun Xin and Ao Qi have no deep friendship in the past, but they don't want to point it out at this moment.

"Why are you in a daze? The water is almost boiled dry." Yang Jian's voice sounded behind him, and Cun Xin woke up from the daze. He saw white smoke coming from the tea stove in front of him, and hurriedly turned off the fire. He went to lift the pot with his hand, but was scalded by the hot handle, retracted his hand like a spring, and put it to his lips to cover it.

Yang Jian frowned, took her hand to look at it, twisted his thumb, smoothed the blisters, and sighed: "What are you thinking, so engrossed?"

"Ao Qi... told you?"

Hearing this, Yang Jian nodded, washed the teapot again, lit the stove again, and put a new pot of water on it.

"Then... did you answer him?"

Xiansheng Zhenjun raised his eyes, saw Longnu's cautious expression, wanted to laugh in his heart, but held back, he only raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you want me to say?"

Cun Xin lowered her head, and said, "I don't know." Her slender fingers rubbed the embroidered belt on her knees, and after a while she said, "Ao Qi is Ao Qiong's elder brother. You can't stop other people's brothers from taking their young brothers home to live with them. But I always feel that Ao Qi..."

"The heart has the danger of mountains and rivers, and the chest has the strictness of the city." Yang Jian said lightly.

Cun Xin suddenly raised her head, but saw him staring at the tea stove in front of her calmly, and hurriedly said: "Then can't you think of a way to send Ao Qiong to Dongting?"

Yang Jian didn't answer.As soon as the water boiled, he picked up the teapot, slowly washed the tea, brewed it, sealed it, divided the cups, took another cup and handed it to Cun Xinfang and said, "You're right, I really have no reason to stop my brother from taking my brother away."

"Then Ao Qi will..."

"Don't worry," Yang Jian took a cup of tea and sniffed it under his nose. "Although Ao Qi's scheming is deep, his integrity is not bad." He took a sip and said, "What's more, we'll settle the case." , the question is only about the facts. As for the human nature behind the facts, one has to find out."

Hearing what he said, although Cun Xin didn't understand, she wasn't as worried as before, she just said flatly: "I just feel sorry for Ao Xiang, she is usually so smart, but she was deceived by a little mortal He." Yang Jian smiled, but didn't answer, turning the teacup in his hand with a rather contented expression.

Inside the Muyuan Palace in Qiantang, the candles were burning with spirit flags and candles. Ao Qi sat opposite to a person, and suddenly sighed: "Who saves the candle moth, the silkworm cocoon wraps itself." Jawhead said: "It all depends on uncle's foresight." The two looked at each other and smiled, and said nothing.

The author has something to say: To be a human being, it is better not to be too smart.
