"Go to Magnolia to get the medicine. You don't have to come here these days." Bai Guo turned over a page and glanced twice to confirm the content, then walked back to the window and sat on the chair.
Ansuke saluted, his voice was weak, "Thank you, Master."
An Mo, who was next to him, stepped forward to support An Jie. After seeing that Ging Guo inside was not talking, he led An Mo out of the inn.
Bright red blood stains bloomed on the thick snow, and Anmo's hand holding Ansuke was already wet and sticky.
Ansuke's face was pale but full of doubts: "I haven't found anyone yet, how did he know someone had slipped through the cracks?"
An Mo glanced at the street where few people came out and said, "He is surrounding Magistrate Cao's mansion."
If Magistrate Cao committed suicide, he would not really leave the whole family behind, so there might be some left behind. The most likely thing is the list.
Ansuke stopped and looked at Anmo beside him, suddenly feeling sad, "Does he think I spend too long in front of the master?!"
Their secret guards were responsible for checking people, and if someone slipped through the net, it would be him who was the leader who would be punished.
So last night Anjie confirmed almost as soon as Pang Yang opened his mouth that Pang Yang was going to clean up the people who slipped through the net. After all, except for those who threatened his master and needed to be dealt with, he would never be too far away from his master. of.
And it was at that time that he took the initiative to accept the punishment and knelt at the door to apologize.
Twelve can be said to be implicated by him.
But he didn't expect that he would be tricked by a mad dog!
An Mo helped the person and continued walking forward, "Maybe he discovered something himself and went to verify it last night."
Ansuke bared his teeth, and when he thought of the cold eyes that were tight on him last night, he instinctively thought that was the first answer.
This mad dog can't chew any bones lately and won't let others get close.
It was as if others had the same eye problems as him.
After Bai Guo read a few pages of the book, there was a knock on the closed door. Ge Yin took a careful look at Bai Guo. Seeing that Bai Guo didn't care, he stepped forward and opened the door. As expected, it was Pang Yang outside, but he also brought a bowl. Hot noodle soup.
Ge Yin was stunned for a moment, and then quickly took it. She looked up to say thank you and saw that the eyes were already glued to the princess behind her.
Ge Yin paused and kicked the door shut.
The kicked-in door didn't make as little movement as when it was closed. Bai Guo looked over, and Ge Yin put the noodles in his hands on the table obediently, "Princess, General Chi Zhong sent it here, use some." .”
Bai Guo looked at Ge Yin's face with an appreciative gaze. Seeing nothing, he stood up and sat at the table. During this movement, his eyes glanced at the closed door.
You can vaguely see a figure standing at the door without leaving.
Ging Guo picked up the chopsticks.
Ge Yin was overjoyed and admired Pang Yang even more when he saw the ginkgo eating.
My princess has always cared little about food and rarely uses snacks, but now she just finished eating porridge and ate noodles again!
At the door, the figure saluted and then retreated to his room.
Bai Guo reported the secret suicide of the three county magistrates back to Kyoto in a few days. There were endless quarrels in the court, and they all asked the emperor for orders to severely punish Princess Kangle.
Xuan Xian sat majestically on the dragon chair, listening to the quarrels of the people below without any intention of speaking.
The prince stood quietly aside and said nothing.
However, the more King Dingxi listened, the darker his face became. Especially after these people chattered for half an hour, he could no longer endure it. "Nonsense! What a rude thing! I have never heard such remarks before!"
When King Dingxi spoke up, all the civil servants who had been quarreling shut their mouths, but some still spoke: "Princess Kangle's action will cost several lives! If such cruel behavior continues to be allowed..."
"Cruel?!" King Dingxi's face turned even darker. "I kill hundreds or even thousands of people every day on the battlefield. Do you still want me to die as an apology?!"
The civil servant who opened his mouth immediately defended himself unconvinced: "Your Highness is serving the country and the people, but Princess Kangle is doing it for her own selfish interests! How can this be confused! Wen Chen
I know that His Highness King Dingxi is on good terms with Princess Kangle, but His Highness King Dingxi cannot openly protect her in this court! Where is this kind of justice? ! What's the use of being a humble minister? ! "
King Dingxi looked back angrily: "You said that this king followed the law and violated the law?! I have a relationship with Princess Kangle, and it is also a matter of money! Can I protect Princess Kangle just because of this matter?! I am just I’ve never heard of someone else listening to their nonsense while a knife is held to their neck!”
King Dingxi's voice can command the soldiers and boost their morale on a terrifying battlefield. These angry words made half of the people in the court have their ears ringing, and even the remaining half of the people in the court. They all covered their ears and took a few steps back, their expressions extremely painful.
Among them, a small number of ministers lowered their hands as they had expected and allowed their ears to regain hearing. Among them, Prince Gong's actions were the most leisurely.
The prince's movements were the most noble and elegant. Even with such movements, it still made people feel that he was listening carefully to King Dingxi's words. It could even be seen from his clear eyes that he was thinking about these words.
The Ninth Prince Xuan Liangcai, who has yet to be crowned a king and has no achievements to speak of, can only feel like there are stars in his eyes and a constant ringing in his ears.
The movements of the Tenth Prince Xuan Hongyi and the Thirteenth Prince Xuan Yuansi were slightly slower than the Prince Gong and the Crown Prince in front, but they were also faster than the others, so there was no big problem.
King Dingxi looked at this scene and regained some of his anger, but then he snorted coldly when he saw the pained look on the face of the civil servant he was scolding.
He just didn't like the nagging side of these people, but these people couldn't bear his beating, so he didn't expect that this trick would be effective all year round.
King Dingxi did not look at the civil servant again, and turned to salute Xuan Xian, who was in charge, and continued: "I think it is derelict for a county magistrate to not make decisions for the people but to only think about how to steal money. What's more, he is still talking to him now. The merchants colluded to seek wealth and murder! Not only did they knowingly violate the national law, but they did not hesitate to put Princess Kangle into crisis just to hide the truth! Which one of these things can be passed safely after being explained clearly?! "
Wen Chen almost vomited out his blood, and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, please don't distort the facts! What we are arguing about is Princess Kangle's crime of not handing over these people to the magistrate for investigation, but directly killing them privately!"
King Dingxi sneered, "Crime? Princess Kangle was actually put to a knife on her neck in Yining Prefecture. The presence or absence of the prefecture is of no use! The king also reasonably suspects that these people formed a clique to plot for personal gain. Where is Princess Kangle!"
Wen Chen's nose was almost crooked with anger. At this moment, Prince Gong saluted Xuan Xian on the throne above him, and then he said unhurriedly: "Wei Chen feels that what King Dingxi said is true, but it does not mean that he is happy. The princess overstepped her authority and beheaded the imperial officials. Otherwise, if things go on like this, some people will inevitably follow suit and kill first and then report later. Why use Dali Temple?"
The Minister of Dali Temple glanced at Prince Gong, but did not speak.
Xuan Xian's expression did not change at all after Prince Gong finished speaking. He said "hmm" and then looked at the prince standing in front of him, "What do you think, prince?"
At this time, the prince bowed respectfully and said: "Back to the emperor, I think the most urgent thing about this matter is to transfer the new county magistrate to make the people in several counties feel at ease. Then we will investigate the matter. To find out the truth, check the prefecture, Tongxuan, several county magistrates, Princess Kangle, etc. In the end, no matter who is at fault in this matter, this matter should be widely publicized as a warning."
Xuan Xian said "hmm" again, then looked at the Ninth Prince Xuan Liangcai and asked, "What about you?"
The Ninth Prince Xuan Liangcai trembled when he was suddenly called, and then he answered bravely among the courtiers: "I agree with what the prince said."
The whole court was inexplicably quiet.
"Yes." Xuan Xian remained calm, and then his eyes fell on the tenth prince Xuan Hongyi. This time, the tenth prince Xuan Hongyi saluted without Xuanxian opening his mouth, and at the same time said loudly: "My dear minister I agree with what the prince said."
Compared with the previous ones, the tenth prince has not yet held any official position, so he is called son-in-law.
However, compared with the Ninth Prince who seemed to be caught for endorsing the letter, the Tenth Prince said this with great confidence, which shows that he really thinks so in his heart.
.
Xuan Xian nodded, and finally looked at the Thirteenth Prince Xuan Yuansi.
Xuan Yuansi also saluted respectfully, and then said: "I feel that what the prince and brother said is true. If we don't find out clearly, Princess Kangle will be discussed all the time. In this case, the truth will be exposed to the world, and this will also prevent If someone follows suit, everyone in the court will be in danger."
Xuan Xian looked at all the court officials at this time, "The governor of Yining Prefecture and the general magistrate are awaiting investigation. Please send me the list of candidates for the county magistrate and the list of candidates to investigate this matter before noon."
Noon...
Everyone's eyelids twitched.
When did they quarrel?
Su Qing shouted in a high voice: "Retreat!"
After everyone bowed and respectfully sent Xuan Xian away, they stood up one after another. Among them, King Dingxi was the first to leave with a long stride, his back arrogant.
Prince Gong smiled and made a "please" gesture to the prince. The prince nodded and walked out first.
The smile on Prince Gong's face seemed extremely gentle.
At this time, the ministers behind them left one after another.
When Xuan Yuansi returned to the imperial study, he saw Chang Ziming coming out. .
"I have met His Highness Thirteenth Highness." Chang Ziming bowed with his hands raised, and every move he made was attractive and attractive.
Xuan Yuansi nodded, paused and asked, "Master Chang, are you going to Yining Prefecture?"
Chang Ziming smiled politely, without being arrogant or arrogant, and said, "Yes, I will temporarily serve as the general judge of Yining Prefecture until the matter is investigated."
Xuan Yuansi smiled and said, "I saw my father Zhao Chang coming here a few days ago. I guess it has already been decided. But does Lord Chang know who will be the governor of the state?"
Chang Ziming still smiled and said, "It's His Highness Ninth Prince."
Xuan Yuansi laughed as he expected, "It seems Princess Kangle doesn't have anything to worry about."
Chang Ziming's warm eyes did not change at all, "Princess Kangle should not have worried about anything."
Xuan Yuansi was stunned on the spot.
Yining Prefecture.
"The guys in the caravan sent back news that Zhang Dong's family is willing to donate their old mansion to the princess for free. They also said that you can contact him if you have anything in the future."
Bai Guo had just read the news about the handling of several stores, and nodded when he heard this, "Send the news to Pang Yan and sort it out."
