Chapter 459

Fu Jiuqu is now an idler, so it's not surprising that he came to visit his old colleagues and left after a while.

The people in the Huangcheng Division didn't say much, and sent them to the door respectfully.

The two walked ahead, and Cai Qi chased after them sullenly.

"Chonglou, do you have something to hide from me?"

Fu Jiuqu asked him, "What do you think is the matter?"

Cai Qi looked at him reproachfully, then turned back to look in the direction of Huang Chengsi, and lowered his voice.

"Last night, the inner palace guards were dispatched and arrested people. You don't know, do you?"

Fu Jiuqu asked back: "So what?"

Cai Qi hesitated for a moment, staring at his deep black eyes, still a little unwilling to give up, "I want to ask you something from the bottom of my heart. You tell me the truth."

Fu Jiuqu raised his chin, "Say."

Cai Qi glanced at Xin Yi, and said in an uncomfortable voice, "You, me, and Xingyuan, the three of us are brothers, are we really going to die?"

In Cai Qi's heart, their conflict was only for a woman.

Not worth it, not worth it.

He tried to persuade Zhang Xun and Fu Jiuqu, but no one could persuade them. The two of them were like old enemies.Thinking of the friendship between the three of them in the past, Cai Qi felt as uncomfortable as scratching his heart, his eyes were full of hope.

But Fu Jiuqu smiled: "Yes, never die."

Cai Qi: ...

He heaved a long sigh.

"That's all, I won't get involved in your affairs..."

"Zijin." Fu Jiuqu called to him suddenly, his voice was warm, but his laughter was cold, "You think I'm the kind of person who doesn't understand the truth, and wants to drive out sworn brothers and kill them all for my own selfishness?"

Cai Qi laughed awkwardly, "It's not like..."

Fu Jiuqu: "Then you should understand that what Zhang Xingyuan committed is far more than that."

After finishing speaking, he held Xin Yi's hand, turned around and left.

"Heavy building..."

Cai Qi was startled, looked at Fu Jiuqu's back, and let out a long sigh.

"It would be great if people don't grow up..."

·
Xin Yi went to Xiangluan Pavilion, but there was no one there, and the red lacquered door was closed tightly.

She didn't see Zhou Yiliu, but was invited by Hongyun from Kunning Hall.

Seeing her face, Hong Yun was slightly surprised, but soon regained his composure.

"I don't know what happened. Before dawn today, the official family sent someone to carry the little princess to the Kunning Hall, saying that she would be handed over to our saint to be raised. That week, the lady was still in confinement, and the official family imprisoned her in the cold palace. , I don't know what happened..."

Xin Yi smiled peacefully, and said as if nothing had happened:

"I was ordered by the official family to see a doctor for Mrs. Zhou. I don't want to expect such an accident to happen overnight."

"Isn't it?" Hong Yun still had that arrogant temperament, her nose almost turned up to the sky, and she was very dissatisfied with her words.

"Our sages don't specialize in picking up filthy things. If they say they can be raised, they will be raised. The officials never care about the feelings of the sages."

Xin Yi just smiled and was inconvenient to speak.

There must be no woman who can treat her husband and children born to other people calmly, and she will be somewhat uncomfortable in her heart.

In Funing Palace, Empress Cao was sitting on the side of the shaker, holding a small leather drum to tease the little princess, with a loving smile on her face, the little princess twitched the corners of her mouth, smiling very cutely.

Xin Yi blessed himself and saluted, "My wife has seen a saint."

Empress Cao glanced at her, put down the small leather drum, and signaled Hong Yun and the palace servants to go down.

"The princess sit down and talk."

Xin Yi lowered his head: "My wife dare not."

Empress Cao laughed, "You were not so particular in front of me before."

Xin Yi raised his head slowly, his eyes met a pair of smiling eyes.

"Thank you saint."

She sat upright on the twig prepared by Empress Cao, and checked the little princess' condition with her hands.

In the past two days, the little princess has recovered, and she breathed a sigh of relief after having her pulse checked.

"Young master is very good, the saint can spend less time thinking."

Empress Cao nodded with a smile, and looked at her, "Look at your pretty appearance, even better than before. Prince Guangling is a blessed man."

Xin Yi was a little embarrassed by the praise, and was moved: "Sage, don't praise me. How have you been these two years?"

The morning sun shone through the elm window, and the light was long and soft.

Empress Cao sighed thoughtfully, "I think it should be good."

Xin Yi said: "The gentleness of the sage is the blessing of the people of the Great Song Dynasty."

Empress Cao looked at her for a moment, "You are still so understanding and don't argue with others."

After a pause, she smiled lightly, "Miss Zhou harmed you like that, but you are willing to ignore the past..."

Xin Yi couldn't figure out whether there was any complaint in her words, so she smiled slightly.

"A doctor's parents' heart, no matter who it is, if I can save it, I will definitely save it."

Empress Cao's expression faded, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips.

"Unfortunately, the disease can be cured, but the heart cannot be cured."

Xin Yi smiled slightly.

"The saint sent me here, not only to see the little princess, right?"

Empress Cao said: "The flowers in my garden are blooming just right, follow me out for a walk."

The weather today is fine and beautiful, and the flowers are full of purples and reds hidden among the emerald green leaves. The night dew on the flower branches has not yet dispersed, and they condense into crystal water droplets. Under the care of Chuyang, they are blooming in full bloom.

The two walked casually, the girl was far behind, it was more convenient than talking in the room, and it would not fall into other people's ears.

"Last night, the officials were furious and punished Mrs. Zhou, and sent Zhang Shu straight to Dali Temple Prison. Did you and the county king know about this?"

Xin Yi hesitated, "I know. To be honest, the minister's wife entered the palace today just to inquire about something."

She was so outspoken that Empress Cao gave her a friendly smile.

Whatever the person you like is good, she looks at Xin Yi very gentle.

"Two people criticize each other, wishing they could peel each other's skins and weeds..."

Xin Yi said bluntly: "Dog bites dog, mouth hair."

Empress Cao was startled, and smiled softly: "What do you think the officials will do with it?"

Xin Yi really couldn't guess this, and it was exactly what he was worried about.

Everyone said that Zhao Zhen was kind and weak, but this emperor had his own set of principles in dealing with affairs, and he was not easily influenced by others.

Empress Cao smiled slightly, "In the eyes of the officials, there are four kinds of people. One is relatives, the other is people who are useful, the third is people who hate but can't do anything about it. The fourth is ordinary people. Zhang Shuzhi was not sheltered back then, but progressive The deputy envoy of the Infantry Division and the direct bachelor of the Privy Council all drink from the officials, so you must know why."

Xin Yi nodded and remained silent.

Empress Cao looked at her quietly, "Zhang Xun must be the third type of person."

Xin Yi was startled, "Why?"

Empress Cao looked at the wild geese passing by in the distant sky, "The royal family's face is bigger than the sky, and the officials probably won't let the little princess be poked in the back."

Xin Yi looked at her, his eyes locked tightly, and he didn't speak for a long time.

When things got to this point, people were already in prison, so she couldn't control them anymore.

After bidding farewell to Empress Cao, I saw Fu Jiuqu waiting outside when I came out of Funing Palace.

Looking at his quiet back, Xin Yi felt inexplicably relieved.

"Ninth Brother! Are you so fast?"

Fu Jiuqu turned his head and held her hand, "Let's go back."

Xin Yi smiled and asked, "Have you seen the official family?"

Fu Jiuqu met her gaze, and said in a calm voice, "I didn't go to the official."

Xin Yi looked at him in surprise, frowning slightly, "Then what did you do?"

Fu Jiuqu raised his hand, stroked her drooping temple hair slowly, and smiled casually.

"Dali Temple Prison."

Xin Yi exclaimed, "Have you found any news?"

Fu Jiuqu looked at her tenderly and said, "Zhang Xingyuan has a halo around him, so my life is saved."

·
No one knew what Zhang Xingyuan, who was pleading guilty in front of Xuande Gate, had confessed to Zhao Zhen.

During the interrogation, Zhao Zhen did not allow any officials to participate.

Even the people in the prison of Dali Temple only knew that Zhao Zhen was still furious before meeting Zhang Xun, and he wanted to kill him quickly. After seeing him, his expression calmed down. Mrs. Zhou was under confinement and even refused to listen to her explanation.

The most guessed in the palace was that Zhang Xun had an affair with Mrs. Zhou, which aroused the wrath of the officials.

But Zhao Zhen is not so qualitative.

Two days later, there was a decree.

"Zhang Xunde, a direct scholar of the Privy Council, has done something wrong. He indulged his family members to cause trouble, disregarded the law and discipline, harmed the people, took advantage of the situation, and was unbecoming. He should be sent to prison for questioning. Instruct Dali Temple to try and make a decision."

When Xin Yi got the news, he was a little aggrieved.

"Before, Dali Temple was not allowed to participate in the questioning of the case. What else can be judged now? The answers that Dali Temple can get from Zhang Xun are nothing more than the ones that the government acquiesced. Become a connivance of family members to commit murder?"

Fu Jiuqu raised the teacup coldly and took a sip.

"Capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped. Let's wait and see how to deal with it."

Xin Yi calmed down, "In my opinion, the crux of the problem lies in what Zhang Xun said to the officials that night, and what made the officials ignore the past?"

Fu Jiuqu smiled, "Who said that officials don't care about past suspicions? I don't think he can get out of Dali Prison."

Xin Yi's pupils shrank slightly, feeling a little relieved.

Zhang Xun was originally a general, and he was criticized for being promoted too quickly. In the past, because he was sophisticated, he had a group of well-connected cronies to help him. When the incident happened last time, the group of civil servants, Mr. Chen and Mr. Xiao, naturally He will not help him again, and Zhao Zhen's attitude is also ambiguous, which does not prevent Dali Temple from sentencing him.

Soon, things became much clearer.

Rumors spread from Dali Temple that Zhang Xun had already laid down a form in prison and was sentenced to five years in prison before being sent to Cangzhou.

Five years in prison plus exile, at least Zhao Zhen has no plans to let him out of the prison right now.It's not that he doesn't tire of it, and it's not entirely out of concern, but that he has left his life with ulterior motives.

"I don't want him to have a good time, and I don't want him to die. What exactly is the official plan?"

Zhou Yiliu was imprisoned in the cold palace, and Zhang Xun was punished like this. Xin Yi felt that this round was actually won very well.

But this set of beautiful combination punches has a feeling that it only hits cotton.

I won, but I didn't feel refreshed.

 Xin Yi: Not happy, not happy, although I won, but not very happy...

  Fu Jiuqu: What's the rush, isn't there me?I will let you...

  Xin Yi:? ? ?
