Chapter 533

In an instant, the Princes and Princesses turned their heads and looked at Princess Royal. Princess Lin An, who was hugging the Yuanjing Emperor's arm, could not help but look over.

The Crown Prince swept a glance at Princess Royal.

A thought appeared in their minds at the same time: Huaiqing wanted to promote her own people again.

There were two ways for the Princes and Princesses to expand their power. One was to rope in the courtiers and let them become their own supporters. Two was to promote confidants.

The former was because the Yuanjing Emperor had a strong desire to control and his Emperor's schemes were at the point of perfection, so the rest of the Princes, including the Crown Prince, did not dare to blatantly form a clique.

The latter was their usual method.

But it also depended on the timing. The Princes and Princesses felt that it was not a good timing at the moment because the task was too difficult.

The Yuanjing Emperor narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Who does Huaiqing have in mind?"

Princess Royal replied, "The gong of the night watchman's yamen, Xu Qi 'an."

The Second Princess was suddenly enlightened and said with an innocent face, "Is it the gong that showed great admiration for Older Sister on the day of the ancestral worship? Older Sister was still talking and laughing with him. "

These words were vicious!

In front of the Yuanjing Emperor, she secretly stabbed at Princess Royal.

One must know that Princess Royal was not married, even though the Yuanjing Emperor was obsessed with cultivation these few years and did not care about the marriage of his sons and daughters. But how could a dignified Princess attract bees and butterflies all the time.

Princess Royal continued, "Imperial Father should have heard of this person. He is the nephew of the Imperial Blade Guard Baihu Xu Pingzhi who was implicated in the tax case."

The Yuanjing Emperor finally became interested, "Zhen remembered that there was such a person who refined fake silver. If it was not for the inconvenience of storing fake silver and the huge consumption of salt, Zhen would have let the Celestial Commissioner to mass produce it. "

The material of fake silver was salt and salt was too expensive. After listening to the Celestial Commissioner's report, the Yuanjing Emperor dismissed the idea of mass producing fake silver.

"Not only that, when this person was on duty in Chang Le County, his performance was outstanding and he repeatedly solved murder cases." Princess Royal added fuel to the fire.

"Not only that, when this person was on duty in Chang Le County, his performance was outstanding and he repeatedly solved murder cases." Princess Royal added fuel.

The Eldest Princess lowered her head and was sincerely convinced. "Father, please understand. Just yesterday, Copper Gong Xu Qi 'an had a conflict with a Silver Gong in the yamen. Xu Qi' an was severely injured. According to the law, one should be chopped off at the waist.

"Now that he is locked up in the dungeon, I can ask Imperial Father to allow him to atone for his crimes."

The Eldest Princess did not explain the reason for the conflict, nor did she defend Xu Qi 'an, because she knew that none of this was important.

Imperial Father doesn't care who is right or wrong. Imperial Father only cares about who is useful and capable.

Sure enough, Emperor Yuan Jing didn't even hesitate or think. He nodded and said, "Well, since Huai Qing pleaded for him, I will allow him to make up for his mistakes and cooperate with us in handling the case. If we can't catch the real culprit who destroyed Tai Zu Temple within half a month, I will directly kill him."

Sure enough, the Yuanjing Emperor did not hesitate and nodded, "Good. Since Huaiqing is pleading for him, I will allow him to make up for his mistake and cooperate with the case. If the real culprit who destroyed the Taizu Temple cannot be caught in half a month, I will execute him."

"Thank you, Imperial Father."

The Princes and Princesses left the Imperial Study and met with their respective guards. Princess Royal took her sword from the Imperial Guard.

Second Princess held her brother's arm and whispered, "Oh, Huaiqing is one step ahead of us."

The Crown Prince shook his head, "It may not be a good thing. Even Wei Yuan feels that this case is tricky. Huaiqing is just a chess piece. If the Copper Gong can really solve the case, it is a pleasant surprise. If it fails, Huaiqing will not suffer any loss. He will be executed anyway. "

"Humph. Huaiqing's heart is really black." Second Princess wrinkled her nose and asked, "Older Brother, what is going on with Yong Zhen Shan He Temple?"

As they walked, the Crown Prince looked around and whispered, "This case is not simple. Otherwise Wei Yuan would not have such a worried expression. One fear that only Imperial Father would know the secret. "

Of course, I will know in the future … He silently added a sentence in his heart. At the same time, the image of the Imperial Tutor appeared in his mind and his heart was filled with resentment.

"Lin An!"

Princess Royal suddenly shouted and stopped the siblings.

The Crown Prince and Second Princess turned back at the same time. Princess Lin An fiercely replied, "What!"

She took the opportunity to hug the Crown Prince's Older Brother's arm.

Princess Royal walked over with her sword and said, "Nothing …"

As the siblings relaxed at the same time, a sword suddenly hit the Second Princess's perky buttocks.

In the severe pain, the Second Princess first turned pale and cried out a few seconds later. She pointed at Princess Royal and screamed, "Huaiqing, Bengong will kill you."

The Imperial brothers and sisters hypocritically came over to persuade and act as the peacemaker.

The Crown Prince put on a straight face and said in a deep voice, "Huaiqing, you are too much."

"It is only to test Lin An's martial arts skills. If Lin An is not convinced, you can also test Bengong." Princess Royal turned around gracefully and her black hair spread out with a 'shua' sound, making her look smart and beautiful.

Second Princess looked at her back view and cried out, "I want to complain. Go to Imperial Father to complain."

The Crown Prince helplessly said, "Another day. Imperial Father does not have the mood to bother with you now."

If there was a conflict or fight between the Princes, the Yuanjing Emperor would definitely take care of it. Moreover, he would be strict and heavily punished.

When there was a fight between the Imperial Daughters, everyone would have an attitude of keeping the peace.

The main thing was that most of the Princes were trained in martial arts and there would be injuries in a fight. Among the few Imperial Daughters, only Princess Royal trained in martial arts. If the other Imperial Daughters were to fight, they would be slapped in a refined manner. If they were impatient, they would grab their hair and bite.

If it damaged the Imperial family's face, they would not be willing to go to court and would usually settle it in private.

Princess Lin An gritted her little silver teeth and cursed, "You wait for me. I want to snatch all your things."

…

The next morning.

Wei Yuan, who had just finished his meditation, received an oral order from the Palace.

"This servant has brought His Majesty's oral order. Duke Wei, go to the dungeon to invite the gong." The little eunuch who conveyed the oral order had a humble attitude.

"His Majesty did not eat much this morning and his thoughts are heavy. He hopes that Duke Wei can solve the case as soon as possible."

Sending people to send the eunuch away, Wei Yuan revealed a smile.

Yang Yan, who came over to accompany his Yifu for breakfast, was relieved and said, "It seems that Yifu does not need to trouble to save him."

Nangong Qianrou snorted and ridiculed Yang Yan as a rash fool who had trained his brain silly and said,

"Why do you think Yifu said those words to Princess Royal last night?"

Yang Yan thought about it and reacted in hindsight.

Yesterday Princess Royal sent people to investigate the conflict between Xu Qi 'an and Zhu Chengzhu. It seemed that he was more concerned about him.

Yifu deliberately hinted to Princess Royal last night and out of a tacit understanding between smart people, Princess Royal took the opportunity to recommend Xu Qi 'an to His Majesty and let him atone for his crimes with meritorious service.

In this way, Xu Qi 'an could be justifiably exonerated and no one could say anything.

Yang Yan had long expected that his Yifu would save Xu Qi 'an. Sending him to the dungeon and sentencing him to be executed in seven days was all a show for the yamen.

The more power one had, the more one could not do as he pleased.

He frowned and said, "But what if Xu Qi 'an does not solve the case in half a month?"

Wei Yuan smiled and said, "Then he can only die and enter Jianghu. Xu Qi 'an has changed from an open chess piece to a hidden chess piece. "

"Yifu actually thinks so highly of him …" Nangong Qianrou and Yang Yan's expressions became serious.

Wei Yuan seemed to have thought of something and said with a smile, "Send someone to inform Li Yuchun that His Majesty has specially approved Xu Qi 'an to atone for his crimes. Li Yuchun will be reinstated."

After a pause, Wei Yuan said with a faint smile, "Make it grand."

…

Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao were led by the jailer to the dungeon with faces full of joy to receive their colleague.

At this time, Xu Qi 'an was in the middle of emptying his bladder. He had one hand on the wall and the other on his brother. He was startled by the sudden rush of his colleague and the jailer, and his little hands trembled …

"Damn it …" Xu Qi 'an cursed and wiped his hands on his prison uniform.

"Ning Yan, Ning Yan, you don't have to die!" When the jailer took out the key to open the door, Song Tingfeng laughed and said,

"His Majesty has allowed you to atone for your crimes with good deeds."

"His Majesty?"

Xu Qi 'an was stunned. His first thought was, "Damn, the number one is His Majesty?!"

He then denied his own guess and calmly patted Song Tingfeng's shoulder. He said in a deep voice, "What happened?"

Song Tingfeng was in a hurry to share his joy and didn't realize that he had been plotted against. He told Xu Qi 'an in detail what happened.

"There was an explosion in the Sampo … The Mountain River Temple of Yongzhen collapsed …" Xu Qi 'an's pupils contracted. He instantly thought of the strange cry for help he heard when he worshiped the ancestors.

In other words, his previous guess was correct.

The cry for help wasn't directed at him. He only heard the cry for help due to some special reason.

So, who was the cry for help from the Sampo directed at?

"Where is the divine sword enshrined in the temple?" Xu Qi 'an asked after pondering for a long time.

Song Tingfeng shook his head, indicating that he didn't know much. He said, "Because of you, the boss was dismissed. After you were locked up in the dungeon, he ran to the Noble Spirit Building, cursed the yamen, and slapped Duke Wei's face in public …"

"This is indeed something Brother Chun would do …" Xu Qi 'an was a little touched.

After retrieving his uniform, waist token, and saber from the jailer, Xu Qi 'an was relieved when he was told that his cousin had taken away the small jade mirror.

As expected, Wei Yuan didn't want to kill him. Even without His Majesty's special pardon, Father Wei would probably find a reasonable reason to save him.

After leaving the dungeon, the two walked out of the yamen. When they were near the gate, they suddenly heard the sound of gongs.

Li Yuchun was escorted into the yamen by several gongs. The leader of the gongs was beating an ordinary gong as he shouted, "Let's go!

"Official Li Yinluo is reinstated …"

The officials and the night watchmen all came out to watch, pointing at Li Yuchun.

Brother Chun's face was red, and he walked quickly with his head down.

Not far away, the three little brothers looked at each other. Xu Qi 'an suggested, "Congratulations on the boss's reinstatement. Let's not disturb him."

"We can't afford to lose face …" Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao nodded. The three of them reached an agreement.

"Brother Chun was tricked by Wei Yuan. Yesterday you slapped him in the face in public, and today he slapped you in the face with gongs and drums …" Xu Qi 'an decided not to offend Wei Yuan so easily in the future.

People who had lost a good chicken were usually narrow-minded.

Xu Qi 'an's body stank, and he was in a hurry to go home to report the good news. Without stopping at the yamen, he rode his beloved filly and rushed home.

After more than half an hour, he arrived at the Xu Mansion.

The gatekeeper, Old Zhang, almost cried tears of joy. Xu Qi 'an threw the reins to him and entered the courtyard, planning to report the good news to his family first.

At this time, the family had already eaten breakfast. Second Uncle went on duty, leaving Xu Xinnian alone at home to chat with his mother in the back hall.

Seeing that Xu Qi 'an had returned, his aunt's beautiful eyes brightened. She immediately suppressed her joy and gave her nephew a habitual expression of disdain.

Xu Xinnian was pleasantly surprised. "Princess Royal made her move so quickly?"

Xu Qi 'an was startled. He suddenly sorted out his thoughts. No wonder the Yuanjing Emperor knew a small fry like him. This didn't make sense.

It was Princess Royal who recommended him in front of the Yuanjing Emperor … Hmm, he couldn't rule out the possibility that Wei Yuan had seized the opportunity to create an opportunity for him to redeem himself.

"Don't be too optimistic. Something happened …" Xu Qi 'an looked at his aunt and paused. "Let's talk later … Ah, I'm ashamed that I've made aunt worried these two days. I heard that aunt didn't sleep the whole night because of me. "

When his aunt heard this, she exploded. She fiercely glared at her blabbermouth son and raised her snow-white and sharp chin. "Hmph ~ ~"

Xu Xinnian continued, "Father went to the Celestial Commissioner yesterday to ask the warlocks in white to plead for leniency, but he received bad news."

He hesitated for a moment. "The Supervisor is sick."

"What?" Xu Qi 'an questioned. "The Supervisor is sick?"

A level one warlock was sick!

Moreover, it was a warlock of the cultivation system that started with saving lives and healing the injured.

The old detective, Xu Qi 'an, immediately thought about whether it had something to do with Sampo's mutation. It was impossible for the Supervisor to lock himself in the Eight Trigrams Platform to watch the world and catch a cold.

"I don't know the specific situation," Xu Xinnian said. "I'll go to the Imperial Blade Guards' camp to find father and reassure him."

His mother, who had been complaining to her cousin all day, was so worried that she couldn't sleep the whole night. One could imagine how upset his father was.

"Okay!" Xu Qi 'an said. "I'll go see Lingyue and Lingyin first. I have something to do later, so I have to go back to the yamen."

The matter of Sampo could be discussed later. There was no need to rush.

"By the way, I left the mirror in the study. Big Brother, you can go get it yourself. The monk you asked me to find has already left. He said he had found a clue about Junior Brother, "Xu Xinnian said.

'I knew it. How could Number One be the Emperor? Number One doesn't know anything about this … Father Wei and Princess Royal are more reliable.'

Xu Qi 'an came to the backyard and saw Xu Lingyin sitting dejectedly under the eaves. She was just a little girl.

No one played with her, and no one was in the mood to care about her.

The stupid child knew that something had happened to her big brother. She was unhappy and went to play with the goslings. She hung her head and scribbled on the ground with a branch.

"Hey, whose family is this stupid kid from?" Xu Qi 'an, who was standing nearby, said with a smile.

Xu Lingyin suddenly raised her head and looked at him blankly. A few seconds later, her little face was filled with a bright smile.

"Big Brother!"

She suddenly stood up and ran with her short legs. She opened her arms and threw herself at Xu Qi 'an.

Xu Qi 'an also went up to meet her. As Xu Lingyin smiled, he turned around and hugged his sister behind him.

Xu Lingyin, who missed, looked back blankly.

"Huhuhu … Big Brother …"

Xu Lingyue hugged Xu Qi 'an's waist tightly and buried her soft body in her cousin's arms. She cried loudly.

His sister's waist was slender. Her hair exuded a delicate fragrance. There was also a faint smell of rouge and powder on her body.

Xu Qi 'an stroked her back and comforted her, "It's okay. Big Brother is back."

Xu Lingyue didn't care. She twisted her waist and cried even harder.

Xu Lingyue was already very sad when her big brother was locked up in the Ministry of Justice. But that time, it was a conflict with the yamen. After all, it was a personal grudge.

And this time, the night watchman who came to the mansion said that her big brother would be cut in half at the waist in seven days at the market.

The nature was completely different.

Of course, Xu Lingyue was so attentive because her relationship with her cousin had improved by leaps and bounds.

"Ah, it's good to have a sister in this era. Soft and cute." Xu Qi 'an hugged his sister's delicate body and sighed.

In his previous life, he didn't have a sister, but he had a cousin who didn't know how to act coquettishly. She didn't know how to cry and show her weakness. She only knew how to sneer at you.

"Big Brother, Big Brother …" Xu Lingyin jumped twice and said happily, "I'm going to tell Mother. She definitely doesn't know that you're back."

Xu Qi 'an wanted to tell her that he walked in through the door and didn't climb over the wall. After thinking about it, he felt that there was no need to explain.

He nodded, "Go!"

"Right," he stopped Xu Lingyin and said, "You're so happy. Is it because you can eat three bowls of rice tonight?"

Xu Lingyin was shocked. She didn't expect her big brother to know what she was thinking.

She ran away in fear.
