Wish Junshou and Tianqi

"Boom-boom-boom"

The door was knocked three times, Song Yanqing lowered his eyes to the door, his long eyelashes drew a shadow, he ignored it, because even if he said it, Chu Shou would naturally come in.

"If there's no one else, I'm going to come in..." Chu Shou gently pushed open the door, poked her head in and looked around, and saw the back of the person sitting at the round table. She stepped in and closed it tightly again. door.

Holding a dry cloth towel in her hand, she tiptoed towards Song Yanqing.

She leaned against the table, gently wrapped his black hair with a cloth towel, rubbed it carefully, and said softly: "The people from the state capital are here, don't be angry..."

Song Yan listened to the word "angry", raised his eyes, and thought, did he see Luo Qi angry at her?It seems that, rather than being angry, it seems that it is more of a sore heart, more uncomfortable than a stress attack.

Chu Shou continued: "Don't be angry, Your Majesty is the king of a country, and he has his own judgment. Although I was also very angry when I first heard the news, I agreed to investigate secretly, and now..."

After Song Yanqing heard the word "Your Majesty", he couldn't listen to anything, but Chu Shou whispered in his ear like a little monk chanting scriptures.

"This time it's all exposed. I just heard it, and I wondered if His Majesty did it on purpose. We have all checked the government. Now we have to investigate it openly. I don't know how they will check and make up for it. Take it together Let us see the confession, how will we check..."

Song Yanqing raised his hand suddenly, grabbed Chu Shou's slender wrist, turned around and raised his eyes, and looked at her fixedly: "You really don't know what I'm thinking?"

Chu Shou looked at his brows, trying not to look at the red corners of his eyes. He had a pair of beautiful eyes, as black as glass, with trembling eyelashes, and he never dared to look at him.

"I'm not the roundworm in your stomach, how do I know..." Chu Shou tried to pull out his hand, but he grabbed it tightly, and the two of them tugged, and finally Chu Shou was defeated.

"Don't you know why I'm angry? Huh?" Song Yanqing looked up at Chu Shou, and continued to ask, with a muffled nasal voice, and his words were a little lonely, "You took his two umbrellas away."

umbrella?
Chu Shou turned her eyes to think, she remembered the touch of green that she saw when she looked up today, indeed, this matched, and the bamboo bone umbrella with the letter sent by the little internal official when she returned to Beijing, there is a reason for that. Two.

In this way, it's no wonder that Luo Qiyuan knew her before she knew him.

Seeing her thinking, Song Yanqing gently pulled her wrist, frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "Don't think about him."

Chu Shou lowered his eyes to look at him, saw that his eyes were hazy, and felt clear in his heart, he raised his hand to caress his forehead. Sure enough, as soon as autumn came, he became sicker than himself, but he was given medicine early in the morning. Well, why...

"Okay, don't want to think about it, why don't you rest for a while..."

Song Yanqing tightly grasped her wrist again, opened and closed her lips, and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Mu Huashu who suddenly broke into the room. Seeing the two being intimate, she froze for a moment, looked embarrassed, and said : "My lord! It's time to go to the state capital."

"Yes, yes, let's go first."

Song Yanqing's face was a little displeased, his eyes became clear, and he only held onto Zhu Shou's hand.

Shen Yike was released as promised, yes, he was released.

The government put him in prison on the grounds that he had not received a report from above, and ignored everything such as procuratorate badges and censor titles. Lord Yushi transformed into a prisoner who ate bran and swallowed vegetables in the dark.

Peng Kangsheng, the general who led the troops at the foot of the mountain that day, was very polite to him. He prepared a carriage overnight and sent him to the government office, but once he arrived at the government office, let alone beauties, he didn't even have the face of the magistrate. See you...

Song Yanqing and Mu Huashufang went around the mansion in a big circle, and there was no plan left, but they missed one place, the floor was covered with straw poles, and the prison was filled with a rotten smell, so Shen Yike was sitting in the deepest place. A prison cell, smiling and chatting with the prisoner next door.

Song Yanqing went into the cell and was familiar with the road. After all, he had stayed in the dungeon of the Metropolitan Procuratorate a lot. When he saw Shen Yike, he couldn't help laughing, and the corner of his mouth was slightly hooked into a snicker.

Shen Yike raised his eyebrows, tidied up his sleeves, and was about to get up and go out with them, but Song Yanqing politely refused him because "the time is not ripe". He was not angry, and sat up again, but his temples protruded. Jumping suddenly: Don't be angry, don't be angry, if I am mad, who will be happy...

Several people went downstairs, and Wei Qingxuan, the magistrate of Qingzhou who was standing in front of the door with his hands behind his back, greeted him immediately.

Around thirty, with a thin and handsome face, a slender figure, thick eyebrows and big eyes, there is a black mole the size of a grain of rice on the lower left corner of the mouth, and a mole hidden in the eyebrow, one is not white.

"The next official, Wei Qingxuan, governor of Qingzhou, has met the princess, the lord of the capital, and the lord of the censor."

Song Yanqing changed into a black silver robe with black gauze, her hair still tied high on the back of her neck, white jade bamboo knotted hairpin, straight back, wide shoulders and narrow waist, dark and cold eyes, lightly nodded, and then He said lightly, "My lord, please get up."

Wei Qingxuan got up, took a few steps back as a gesture of invitation, and said: "I don't know how many nobles came to Qingzhou. It is really a long way to welcome them. The state government has prepared a banquet, and I invite the princess and all the adults to move."

Song Yanqing nodded lightly, without saying a word, strode out of the inn threshold with his hands behind his back, followed by Mu Huashu, dressed in white and with black hair, plain and elegant.

Chu Shou was still standing on the steps of the stairs, dressed in a light jade-colored sarong gown, her black hair was gently tied by a white jade bamboo hairpin, she was leaning halfway forward on the handrail of the stairs, her wide sleeves hung down, and her palm rested on her shoulders. Cheeks, staring at Wei Qingxuan with round eyes.

Wei Qingxuan turned around, noticed her, and said with a smile: "Princess? Please?"

"I heard that Mr. Wei entered the Imperial Academy when he was only about [-] years old. He successively served as officials in Liangzhou and Jingzhou. Now he has floated to Qingzhou. He became a magistrate at a young age. There must be something extraordinary about him."

Wei Qingxuan listened, nodded and smiled, cupped his hands in worship and said modestly: "The princess is absurd, the next official is just inheriting the shadow of the predecessors, doing the job well, and luck is better."

Chu Shou got up with a smile, walked down the railing, gathered his sleeves and robes in front of Wei Qingxuan, and then read: "This princess has always believed that things depend on human effort. That's all..."

"What does Master Wei think?"

She stared fixedly at the person in front of her, her eyes were dim, making it hard for people to see what she was thinking.

"The princess is a descendant of the Wu family in Youzhou. The princess's insight into fortune is naturally deeper than ordinary people. I dare not act like nonsense." Wei Qingxuan bowed his hands again, lowering his head even lower. Hearing Chu Shou's sneer, and seeing the jade-colored robe flashing past his eyes, he straightened up after a while, looked at Chu Shou's back from afar, turned his head and said coldly to the people beside him, "The one in the prison has settled down now." ?”

"Returning to my lord, I have already released it to arrange a place to sleep. I have apologized repeatedly, and there is nothing wrong with it."

Wei Qingxuan squinted his eyes and thought for a while, nodded and turned his eyes, and continued to order: "Tell everyone to take care of it, don't show me any tails to add to the chaos!"

"Yes! Your lord!"

@
Due to the arrival of the princess, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the son of Xing Wang, and the minister of Honglu Temple, the prefecture hosted a banquet of the highest standard. The banquet was complete, but there was no sign of haste.

Wei Qingxuan got up from the banquet, holding the wine glass in his hand, and apologized repeatedly to Shen Yike who was "wrongly arrested" and put in the cage of the government office: "The official has been busy with the Qingzhou Copper Mine these two days, and he has nothing to lose. Lack of skills, since the subordinates do not know who they are, they actually imprisoned Mr. Shen in prison. It is really a misjudgment of duty by a subordinate official, please forgive me, Mr. Shen!"

His words were sincere and his attitude was sincere, and he asked someone to give Shen Yike a few thick ginseng as an apology at the banquet.

When Zhan Yingshao of Honglu Temple heard that there was such a coincidence, he felt sorry for Shen Yike from the bottom of his heart, and raised his glass, and said indiscriminately: "Yo? Master Shen is troubled."

After finishing speaking, he drank it all in one gulp, Shen Yike held up the wine glass, respecting left and right, only smiled gently, and drank a few glasses in succession.

"Ah?"

Chu Shou covered his mouth with a sneer on the seat, and then raised his voice, "Master Wei is so busy with business, he hasn't seen any progress on the Qingzhou Copper Mine."

"Returning to the princess, it's because I didn't complete the trip, but instead caused Mr. Wei trouble, and missed the time for Mr. Wei to investigate the case."

Song Yanqing was rubbing the wine glass in his hand, listening to what he was saying, but he seemed to be condescending, but he lowered his eyes and did not give Wei Qingxuan a straight look, his voice was deep, and the black gauze and silver robe seemed a little more domineering and sinister.

"Hey, Du Yushi's words made this princess unable to sit still. Didn't the state government hold a banquet here today and miss the time to investigate the copper mine?" On Qingxuan's body, he said faintly: "Then the princess should also make amends to Mr. Wei."

Wei Qingxuan cupped his hands in obeisance, as if he had a well-thought-out plan, he said with a smile: "Please trouble the princess to think about it, I am concerned about the copper mine, but this matter has been found out, it is the bandit in Linglongzhai who secretly exploited the copper mine..."

As Wei Qingxuan spoke, he glanced at Luo Qi who was sitting on the side eating and drinking seriously, and relayed: "As for whether it was smuggled to Youyan, it is still open to discussion."

"Since it was bandit rebellion, can Mr. Wei have evidence to present?" Chu Shou raised his eyes, imitating the appearance of the queen mother when she went to court, with a deep voice and a very high-pitched voice.

Wei Qingxuan left the seat, walked to the center, clasped his hands together, and said, "The bandits were originally miners from Nanshan Mining. Later, the copper mine suffered a disaster. Some miners were dissatisfied with the government's handling, so they brought the rest up the mountain. Became a bandit."

"Materials are scarce on the mountain, and they can only rely on looting and robbing houses to survive. Unfortunately, due to the advantage of the terrain, they have repeatedly failed to organize many operations to encircle and suppress the mountain bandits, which has led to them being so rampant. Every night, they sneak into the abandoned copper mine and mine. , the villagers near the mine have all seen bandits with their own eyes, and they can all prove it.”

"We even found their copper smelting cave near the mine. Although the equipment inside is simple, there are some details in it. After comparison by the police, it can also be used as evidence that bandits mine copper mines without permission."

"In addition, how they transported the copper to the crossroads of the two countries was also made clear. They only arrested a man who delivered the copper through the local bodyguard bureau. He recruited them all before there was any interrogation. He said to himself Obtain the copper materials from bandits, then pretend to be a wine merchant, put the copper materials into the wine jar, and then make a mechanism to hide the copper materials in it, and then invite the bodyguard bureau to send the darts, so that the copper materials can be transported jar by jar Delivered to the gate, and then..."

Luo Qi smiled when he heard the drooping eyes, shook his wine glass and said: "Your Majesty Wei, don't worry about it, Chen explained it."

Wei Qingxuan saluted Luo Qi, and continued: "This walker is just doing things for others. He only needs to escort the copper to the wharf at the pass, and someone from Youyan will naturally come to approach him, and he doesn't need his help. Therefore, It has not been investigated to Youyan."

Then, he took out the testimony signed by the walker from his sleeve, and handed it to Sanqian, who was standing behind his back, and she presented it to Chu Shou.

Chu Shou took the testimony, opened it, glanced at it and then closed it, and gently put it on the side of the table according to her wishes, "This witness will not die violently in prison, right?"

Before Wei Qingxuan could react, he replied directly: "This ex-husband failed to endure the hardships of the prison. After signing the signature, he was imprisoned for a few days and then died of illness."

Chu Shou nodded, lowered his head and straightened his robe, raised his brows, pretending to be puzzled, and said, "Master Wei's list... it's quite reasonable..."

"However—the envoy You Yan came here on purpose. Your Majesty ordered me to take into account the friendship between the two countries when investigating the case. I'm afraid that the bandit and You Yan colluded with each other that you said can't be said..."

Chu Shou said, pretending to be aggrieved, and then innocently asked: "Master Wei, take a look, how can the description of the case be changed so that everyone can be happy?"

Wei Qingxuan was stopped by the question, he faltered and said in a daze: "This... this..."

He really didn't expect Chu Shou to make such a playful request in public, and he didn't know how to answer it for a while.

Chu Shou said "Huh?", pretending to exclaim, and continued to blame: "Master Wei is so good at making up, why can't he even think of such a way? At that time, the princess will not be able to complete the tasks ordered by His Majesty. As well as the relationship between the two countries, Mr. Wei is also responsible as the prefect."

After Song Yan listened, he nodded and lowered his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and he secretly smiled.

It was only then that Zhan Yingshao realized that Chu Shou's words contained profound meaning. Wasn't she implying that Wei Qingxuan was making up a story about the copper mine exploration, and that the testimony with the signature was also a fake, so she passed it on without a closer look? Throwing it over again, accusing Wei Qingxuan of being prevaricate in a circle, no matter what he said, he also shut up when he thought so, as the minister of Honglu Temple, he just received foreign envoys well, all of this, If you don't listen or don't listen, you can chant sutras like a bastard.

"If you want to persuade the envoys, you must first convince us. Mr. Wei is empty-handed. Why don't you take us to investigate the smuggled copper mine in person? First, give His Majesty an explanation. I will give you an explanation."

Luo Qi straightened up, wrapped in a cloak, answered the words softly, and smiled gently at Wei Qingxuan.

Chu Shou and Song Yanqing looked at each other without showing any traces, and nodded slightly at Wei Qingxuan who was showing embarrassment, but before Wei Qingxuan responded, he said in a deep voice: "That's good, but today we have to have a banquet, tomorrow... Tomorrow, I will bother Mr. Wei, and accompany us for another trip."
