after a long time, Princess Shao'an went to the front of the court and said, "when they went to the front of the court, they frowned first."

The old eunuch took a look at the expression of emperor Yuanjing and knew that his Majesty was displeased. The princess and Xu Tongluo went to the back of the secluded rockery, and then the princess came out with red eyes.

It's really fascinating.

"From the facts." The old eunuch glared.

"Yes... Because Princess Lin'an came out with a knife. As soon as Xu Tongluo saw it, he hid behind the rockery. Or a servant told her royal highness, Xu Gong hiding in a rockery. The little eunuch explained quickly, trembling and afraid to hide.

The old eunuch immediately looked at Yuanjing emperor and saw that Li Guang in his Majesty's eyes had converged. He was immediately relieved and said, "go on."

"Then Mr. Xu went into the hall with the princess, and the slave was driven out. His highness and Mr. Xu talked in the hall for two quarters of an hour. I don't know what I'm talking about. " The little eunuch finally expressed his grievance:

"the slave is not dereliction of duty, it's just that Lord Xu's attitude is too tough."

Finish saying, he uses canthus remaining light, carefully aimed eye Yuan Jing emperor.

To his disappointment, Emperor Jingdi didn't have any expression, so the little eunuch had to continue: "then Lord Xu took the slave and Princess Lin'an to see the body of empress Fu.

"In the process, master Xu wanted to touch the body of empress Fu. The slave tried his best to stop him, but he didn't succeed and got a kick from him."

Otherwise, the little devil is difficult to deal with. The little eunuch firmly remembers his foot and waits to give Xu Qian some eyedrops at this time.

Sure enough, the emperor frowned.

The old eunuch, who had been with him for decades, asked instead of the master, "how did you test it?"

"It's just that I've been touching it for a long time." The little eunuch replied.

He didn't dare exaggerate, because if emperor Jing of Yuan Dynasty was angry, he just had to check with someone and ask Xu Qi'an. The lie would be broken immediately. The little eunuch would not dare to commit the crime of deceiving the king.

The old eunuch asked, "and then?"

"And then... Left." The little eunuch said, "but Lord Xu and Princess Lin'an said that there is something strange about Fu Fei's death."

"Something else?" At last, emperor yuan Jingdi opened his mouth again, sitting upright, leaning forward slightly and staring at the little eunuch.

"Mr. Xu said that the normal way to fall from a building is to face down instead of back down, but Princess Fu did die back down. It's very likely that someone pushed it down. "

The little eunuch gave the analysis of Xu Bai's whoring to Emperor Yuanjing.

The emperor of Yuan Jing squinted, looked up at the ceiling, pondered for a long time, and said:

"step back."

The little eunuch retired.

The old eunuch flattered and said with a smile, "this Xu Qi'an really deserves his reputation. SANFA Department has been investigating for many days and has no idea what to do. When he comes, he immediately finds the clue. The time to solve the case is just around the corner. "

Emperor Jing of the Yuan Dynasty snorted coldly: "it's not that San FA Si can't handle a case, it's just that he doesn't want to. However, Xu qian does have some skills. "

He is still satisfied.

After a pause, Emperor Jing of the Yuan Dynasty said, "pass on my oral instructions, let the cabinet draft an imperial edict, and restart the appointment of Xu Qi'an."

The old eunuch was ordered to withdraw from his bedroom. Instead of going to the cabinet immediately, he found the little eunuch who supervised Xu Qi'an's handling of the case and gave him a slap.

"Godfather?"

The little eunuch covered his face wrongly.

"When are you still playing games with me? Do you think your majesty can't hear it? Do you know that you just walked through the gate of hell The old eunuch spoke sternly:

"Your Majesty is upset about the affair of Fu Fei. At this time, you are playing small eyes in front of your majesty. It's just a matter of great fortune that you didn't have an accident today.

"It's the prince and his concubines who supervise you. It's all about private things. You can't have every bit of prejudice and opinion, or you will be talking to the nobles. "

His majesty will judge for himself what Xu Qi'an has done. The little eunuch instills his private goods, that is, the family members of the emperor zhibeak.

The little eunuch bowed his head and said, "my son knows."

The old eunuch snorted: "Lord Xu drove you out for your own good. I really heard what I shouldn't have heard. The day of closing the case is when your head falls to the ground."

The little eunuch was stunned at first. A few seconds later, he figured it out. His face turned pale and a cold sweat came out behind him.

The hatred for Xu Qi'an's foot is gone.

......

dusk.

Xu Qi'an is sitting on the horse's back, his beloved little mare "daddada" is trotting. He is squinting, facing the orange sun, and humming briskly:

"walking is the way of the world; carrying the flag against the wind, not whoring or being a good official, people have you in their hearts..."Little mare daddada went into the alley of jiaofangsi.

Entering the entrance of the lane, Xu Qi'an turned over and dismounted, threw the reins to the young man in green who was guarding the entrance of the lane, and threw a piece of broken silver by the way.

The gate of Yingmei Pavilion is closed, but it's closed?

Xu Qi'an looked at the afterglow in the West and said that at this time, the Department of Jiaofang should be open.

"Pa Pa Pa......"

he looked up and knocked on the gate of Yingmei Pavilion. Soon after the door opened, the young man in Qing Yi stammered: "you, you are...

when the gate opened, the young man in Qing Yi was stunned and stammered when he saw Xu Qian "I'm a senior official of your wife." Xu Qian picked the tip of his brow.

"Ghosts

The young man in green screamed and ran away. His two legs were walking fast. Then he found that he was standing still, and his back collar was caught by Xu Qi'an.

"I'm still alive," he said Xu Qi'an raised his other hand, slapped him two hands that didn't hurt, but were loud, and asked:

"is my official's slap warm?"

With the hot touch, the young man in green believes that Xu Qi'an is alive. He just wonders how he has changed and is wearing a mink hat.

"You've come back. Lady Fu Xiang has been washing her face with tears day by day. She's so depressed that she's reduced a lot." The young man in green hastened to brush his favor for his master.

Although very curious about the reason why Xu Qian came back from death, he did not dare to ask.

"I'll inform her immediately that you're back."

"You tell her you're a guest and ask her if she can come out with the wine." Xu Qian Road.

The young man in green rushed into the deep yard, stood in the yard outside the bedroom of Fuxiang, and cried: "lady, there are guests coming. I ask if you can go out to accompany me with wine."

Fu Xiang didn't answer. A servant girl yelled in the room: "the lady is not well. She doesn't drink with her. Who told you to open the door? Dog paws want it or not

Xu Qi'an coughed, "Lady Fu Xiang doesn't accompany her guests, so I'll go."

There was a sudden stillness in the room, and then came the trembling voice of Fu Xiang: "Xu Lang?"

His voice changed so much that Fu Xiang couldn't confirm it for a moment.

Xu Qian said with a smile, "it's me."

The sound of ping-pong came from the room. It seemed that something had been knocked over, followed by the cry of the servant girl: "lady, slow down..."

the next moment, the door opened, wearing a long white dress, bare snow-white feet, black hair and free floating fragrance, rudely pushed the door open and rushed out.

One person stands under the eaves and the other in the courtyard. The picture seems to be frozen.

Xu Qian said helplessly: "it's cold outside. Go back to the house."

Fu Xiang just wailed and rushed to his arms, crying bitterly.

...

"that's how it happened. I didn't die, but I benefited a lot from it."

Xu Qi'an is sitting at the table, drinking the good wine of Jiaofang Sili, explaining to Fuxiang the whole process of his rebirth.

Fu Xiang sits beside the bed, with a forked skirt, revealing a long leg like a white python. There is a bruise on the white skin of the leg. The maid helps to apply the ointment.

I ran too fast just now. I was hit.

Fuxiang's mood is very complicated now. She has not only the joy of recovery, but also the sadness and palpitations that are hard to hide. Her heart is always empty.

"As long as I think of Xu Lang's death, my heart will be empty."

"It's OK. You'll feel better later."

When the sun sets completely, a line of servant girls send in the table full of delicious food, flying in the sky, swimming in the water, climbing on the ground.

Two people sat at the table drinking, topic casual, no theme.

"In fact, many scholars in the capital admire Xu Lang very much. Yesterday, my servant girl heard the news that you were killed in your duty from the staff of Jiaofang. Those scholars said with a sigh that the future of Dafeng poetry would be the end of Xu Ning banquet."

"In fact, I did write a poem that day when I faced thousands of rebels, fighting alone and exhausted." Xu Qi'an is holding his glass.

Fu Xiang's wonderful eyes are shining, her face is full of bright smile, and she looks forward to it: "I want to hear Xu Lang's new work."

I always feel that when Wen Chao Gong is a bit ashamed... I'm really an upright man... Xu Qi'an said so in his heart, but when it's time to pretend to be forced, he's not vague.

He was silent for a few seconds, let his temperament become quiet, slowly said:

"young chivalrous, make five all male. "The liver is heavy, the heart is heavy, and the hair is the same."

Fuxiang looked at him, beautiful eyes rippling water, charming and blurred.

I savor this word in my heart. Although it is incomplete, I can see him face thousands of rebels and look back to death.She became more and more obsessed with this man.

"Don't patronize in a daze, I tell you it has a purpose." Xu Qi'an hit the table with his fingers.

"Purpose?"

Floating fragrance, return to mind, return with blank eyes.

"Help me to publicize these glorious deeds. The Department of Jiaofang is the best one to publicize them."

Governor Zhang didn't add his words to the memorial. He was so confused. So that the officialdom and scholars in the capital have not read his excellent works up to now.

How anxious they have to be.

"... oh."

At the end of the dinner, the maid cooked the hot water and was ready to serve Mr. Xu.

"You step back." Xu Qi'an sent the servant girl away, leaving Fuxiang alone in the house.

After Fuxiang steps into the bath bucket in gauze, Xu Qian pulls off her mink cap.

A big naked marinated egg.

"Poof..."

Fuxiang couldn't help laughing, lying on the edge of the bath bucket, shaking with laughter.

What's funny? Although I've become bald, I've become stronger too... Xu Qi'an stares at her.

It is estimated that his hair will grow back in half a year.

....

Fu Xiang's chest is not a chest. When Xu Qi'an put his head on the pillow, it became a brain cushion wave.

If Xu Qian turns over again, it's called facial cleanser.

After the bath, the two lay on the bed, talking. Fuxiang was a little stuffy, and his breathing was not smooth. He pushed his big bald head open.

"Poof!"

Xu Qian ejected an air engine and extinguished the candle.

The next day, in the Huakui lady's service, put on the clothes, Xu Qian bid farewell to the reluctant but deep black eye floating fragrance.

The servant girls in Yingmei Pavilion, looking at Xu Qi'an's back, cross the discharge door and whisper:

"Mr. Xu is too powerful. I think the bed in the lady's room should be changed."

"Yes, it rings as soon as it sits. It's almost broken up. It's really hard work."

"Go and boil the water, lady, and take a bath. In addition, prepare some loquat cream, your voice is hoarse. "

Leaving Yingmei Pavilion, it's chilly in spring. The cold current that comes to Xu Qian's face cheers him up. He goes to the stable.

Suddenly, the foot stepped on a hard pimple, looked down, is a purse.

After stepping into the realm of alchemy, has he directly upgraded to picking up a purse?... Xu Qi'an was a little pleased, and naturally bent down to pick it up, intending to take it into his arms.

He suddenly froze.

this purse as like as two peas on his waist, stitched fine, embroidered with a pine and cypress, and is stitched out by a thread of thread.

Second uncle?

At the same time, Xu Qi'an saw a young man wearing a Confucian shirt in the direction of the stable. The young man had red lips, white teeth, eyes like stars, and beautiful facial features. He perfectly inherited his mother's good genes.

I didn't expect that... Xu Qi said with ease.

That handsome young man's eyes have been floating on the ground, finally floating to Xu Qi'an, and then, he was silly.

Xu Qi'an drew his mouth and raised his hand to say hello: "good morning."

... Xu Erlang looked at him and his lips moved: "good morning..."

the brothers looked at each other in silence. A moment later, Xu Qian took the initiative to break the awkward atmosphere, walked over and returned the purse to Erlang:

"be careful, fortunately I found the purse."

Xu Erlang calmly took over and nodded: "thank you, brother."

The two brothers couldn't find a topic for a while, so they had to walk to the stable side by side, bring their horses and walk out of the Department.

At this time, it was just daybreak, and there were few pedestrians except vendors and peddlers.

"Yesterday with my classmates..."

"yesterday with my colleagues..."

the two brothers spoke in unison.

Xu Qi'an looked back at jiaofangsi Hutong, squinted at the little brother and said, "where are the classmates?"

Xu new year visual front, light way: "colleagues?"

There's no conversation between the brothers again.

Xu Qian remembers that when he came back from prison, Xu Xinnian died socially because of his "long night" and pretended to be in a coma in shame.

Now, I was caught by him on the spot, but I didn't change my face.

It's not that I'm growing up alone, and Erlang's face is much thicker... Well, maybe he died too many times in front of me, and he got used to it when he died... When Xu Qi'an saw a tangerine seller on the roadside, he quickly reined in his horse: "wait a minute."

Xu new year then reined, puzzled.

Xu Qi'an bought a kilo of green tangerine and asked Xu Erlang to dismount. While peeling and wiping his clothes, he said:

"the girls of Jiaofang department have too much fat and powder. If you cover it with green tangerine juice, no woman with a bright nose can smell it."Xu Erlang took the opportunity to open the tongue attribute and said with a sneer: "it's a pity that big brother is active and doesn't go to school."

Xu Qi'an looked at him, "the second uncle taught me."

Xu new year did not seem to say anything, head down, seriously with green orange juice daub clothes.

After that, Xu Qi'an handed the green orange to Xu Xinnian and said, "I'm going to the palace to handle the case. You take the orange home."

Erlang frowned and said, "handling a case? What are you going to do

"I heard about the case of Fu Fei. The emperor left it to me." Xu Qian explained.

"What are you involved in this bullshit case?"

Yunlu academy has a special information channel. What happened in the capital can't be hidden from the Academy.

"I can't get rid of it."

Xu new year sneered: "you let your father give you a muggy stick, and then take healing as the reason, the case will naturally be put off. Besides, this case is bound to be difficult to investigate. "

Erlang is really suitable for officialdom. The degree of abdominal blackness has reached the standard..... Xu Qi'an said with a smile: "in fact, it's best to investigate the cases in the palace."

Because there are so many experts in the palace, which is the home of emperor Jingdi of Yuan Dynasty, those fancy systems can't get involved. Fu Fei's case is probably the most "normal" case he has ever handled since he came to this world.

Xu new year nodded, looked at the green orange: "green orange sour and astringent, no one at home will eat."

"Don't waste it. Give it to Ling Yin."

"Good idea."

...

Dali temple.

At the grand yamen gate, Xu Qi'an sat on horseback and looked at the three gilded characters of "Dali Temple".

Dali temple is in charge of the trial of criminal and prison cases, which is equivalent to the Supreme People's Court of Xu Qi'an's previous life. Together with the Supreme Court and the Ministry of punishment, they are called the three law departments.

Usually, in case of major cases, the emperor would ask the three law departments to hear the case together with the watchmen. It can be seen from this that Wei Yuan, who was also in charge of the watchman's Yamen and the duchayuan, was so powerful.

Emperor Yuanjing only used him to check and balance the civil and military officials.

Similarly, we can see how lucky Xu Qi'an was. He just joined the watchman and was appreciated by Wei Yuan. From a Changle county to Kwai Tai, it becomes a character that can walk sideways in Beijing.

"Go to find the Minister of Dali temple and let him come out to see me." Xu Qi'an showed his gold medal and said to the Yamen guard at the yamen gate:

"if he doesn't come out, I will go to the Imperial Palace and complain to your majesty, saying that he deliberately makes trouble and obstructs the handling of the case."

The Yamen officer rushed in.

A quarter of an hour later, the Minister of Dali temple came out with two young ministers and a group of officials of Dali temple.

"Mr. Xu, if you lose something, welcome it far away. If you lose something, welcome it far away." The Minister of Dali temple came out laughing.

Xu Qi'an was on horseback and warmly welcomed him: "Oh, how did you disturb Mr. Pei to come out in person? I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed."

When Xu Qi'an asked the Minister of Dali temple to come out to meet him, he wanted to make him look ugly and cut his face. One of the nine ministers went out of the yamen gate to meet a small Gong in person. He lost face..... Everyone has a holiday. How can we not make good use of the opportunity to wear shoes.

"It should be, it should be."

The Minister of Dali Temple led Xu Qi'an to go inside and said, "Lord Xu came back just in time. Fu Fei's case belongs to you. But I'd like to remind Mr. Xu that this case is dangerous. Don't go deep into it. "

This is schadenfreude.

The case of Fu Fei offended the crown prince party. It can't offend emperor Jing of Yuan Dynasty.

At least I'll get a viscount in exchange for offending the old emperor..... Xu Qi'an said with a smile:

"it's OK, it's OK. Before you get into it, you must take away those old people who are in the way of eyes. Anyway, with the gold medal in hand, the power to cut first and then play is not in vain. "

The Minister of Dali Temple squinted, "Mr. Xu is really a joker."

"Is Mr. Xu here for the prince?"

"Exactly."

......

Xu Qi'an met the prince in the "cell". In fact, the so-called cell is a clean and tidy room. The layout is not luxurious, but the sparrow is small and has five dirty parts.

The prince is claustrophobic in the room. He can't leave until the case is found out.

It's worthy of being the prince. Prison is different from ordinary people... Xu Qi said with ease.

When the official who closed the door retreated, he hugged his fist and said, "I've met your Highness Prince Xu Qian in my humble position."

"You're here to try this palace, aren't you? My father asked you to take charge of this case?" The prince sat at the table, looking at Xu Qi'an.

"Three law department prevaricate, do not want to intervene in this matter, only to find me this hob meat, anyway, I have offended enough people." Xu Qi'an shrugged, sat down at the table and poured himself a glass of water.

All his actions are in the eyes of the prince.

"Your Highness, please give a detailed description of the day."

The prince nodded slightly, spoke for a moment, and said slowly: "when the Japanese palace finished its lunch at the residence of the imperial concubine, and the snow had not yet melted, I took the bodyguard back to the east palace. On the way back, I met a maid beside the imperial concubine Fu. The maid said that imperial concubine Fu invited us to have a talk."I followed her to Qingfeng hall, which is the bedroom of Fu Fei. After entering the Qingfeng hall, the palace maid led me to the attic and asked me to wait in the outer hall, saying that Fu Fei was changing.

"I was very thirsty after drinking too much wine, so I drank the tea on the table to quench my thirst, and somehow I fell asleep.

"Then I was awakened by the scream. Unexpectedly, fufei fell from the building and died, and my palace became the biggest suspect."

Xu Qian asked without any expression: "at that time, there were no maids in the attic?"

"There's no outside hall. I don't know inside."

"And the maid in waiting?"

"Missing."

Missing ah... Xu Qi'an's eyes flashed sharp light, his arms on the table, staring at the Prince: "how does his highness know that the palace maid is missing?"

For a moment, the prince was shocked by the sharp momentum of the small gong.

"Although the palace is in prison, it has its own way to inquire about things outside." The prince is cold face, light way.

He was annoyed by his momentary shock.

Contact prince to see his calm performance, Xu Qi'an believed his words.

"Does Princess Fu usually meet with the prince?" Xu Qian asked.

"Of course not."

The prince denied that, as the eastern palace, he could not and should not have any private contact with the emperor's concubines.

"Then why did Princess Fu send someone to invite the prince, and the prince went to the appointment without even thinking about it?" Xu Qian hit the nail on the head.

"My palace... Drank too much wine at that time and was not thoughtful." The prince's face was a little unnatural.

Bah, it's not greedy.

In fact, the prince's psychology, as a man, Xu Qi'an is very clear. Fu Fei is a beautiful woman with good appearance and temperament. The prince may not have no reverie in the past.

It happened that I drank too much wine on that day, but it was also the wine of invigorating yang and tonifying kidney... People who had been slightly drunk knew that people were very floating in that state. I dare to do what I don't dare to think about.

If you don't dare to say something, you can blurt it out as soon as you touch it.

It happened that Princess Fu invited her, but she didn't even invite her. Her mind moved and she passed away...

"it sounds like someone is setting up a set for her royal highness." Xu Qian analyzed.

"It's natural that someone framed this palace. Lord Xu thinks so." The prince breathed a sigh of relief.

"No, it can't be so subjective. I've just explained one possibility, and there's another. " Xu Qi'an once again propped up the table and leaned over the prince, saying: "that day, his highness drank too much wine, and his heart was like a horse. He couldn't help thinking of Fu Fei, who had been coveting for a long time. Anyway, your majesty is addicted to the cultivation of Taoism, not close to women. His royal highness then color from the heart, evil to the edge of life, turned to the breeze hall, in an attempt to defile Fu Fei.

"Unexpectedly, imperial concubine zhenlie was unyielding and refused to obey. In the dispute, you pushed her down to the attic and accidentally fell to death. Then you send someone to get rid of one of the maids secretly and fake that you are being framed. "

"Nonsense

His royal highness patted the table and was furious: "Xu Qi'an, you dare to slander our palace, you dare to frame our palace."

"Don't worry, your highness. It's just a humble guess. The truth remains to be verified." Xu Qian's smiling compliment.

Tut, the prince's palace is not deep enough. Do you care too much about the location? How will this level become emperor in the future?

The prince and Lin'an are not the most intelligent people. Xu Qian became more and more suspicious that emperor Jing of the Yuan Dynasty made the eldest son of the common people the crown prince, which had a different purpose.

After the prince calmed down, Xu Qi'an asked again, "has the magician of the heavenly supervisor ever come to see his highness?"

"This matter involves our palace, fufei and Dafeng. Do you think our father is a warlock who believes in Si Tianjian?" The prince asked with a sneer.

Xu Qi'an nodded. After spending so long in the capital, he could see some ways.

Although Si Tianjian had to rely on the royal family and the dynasty, this can be seen from the fact that Chu Caiwei's promotion to liupin required the "approval" of the people in the capital.

However, the supervision of Yipin is too strong, so sitianjian is not a mere vassal, and it is more like a cooperative relationship with Dafeng.

The case of emperor Jingyuan may not be involved. And Si Tian Jian may not be willing to intervene in this kind of affairs.

"I still need to check the health of his Highness the prince. I hope his highness will cooperate."

Xu Qi'an seized the prince's hand and checked his wrists, arms, and then his neck... There were no claw marks and scratches.

"I will find out the truth as soon as possible. If the crown prince is wronged, you will be innocent." Xu Qi'an gets up and hugs his fist.

"Wait!"

His royal highness called him and said in a deep voice, "are you too close to Lin'an?"
