"Your Majesty asked me not to destroy the friendship between the two countries. I was wondering when Ming Qi was able to tolerate You Yan like this?"

Chu Shou narrowed his eyes, raised his hand to pour Luo Qi a full cup of tea, and gently pushed it in front of him.

Luo Qi chuckled, took a sip from his teacup, and said to her, "The reason for this is beyond what a mere hostage from another country can say."

Chu Shou curled his lips and nodded, raised his head and drank the warm tea, and said softly: "Really? I am the number one leader of You Yan as His Royal Highness."

Luo Qi stared at her eyes for a moment, then raised his head and laughed out loud. To put it mildly, he was the son of Prince Xing, but to put it mildly, he was a pawn, which was just You Yan's bargaining chip to show his loyalty.

Sanqian walked in from the outside, walked around the chessboard, walked up to Chu Shou, leaned over and whispered.

After hearing this, Chu Shou smiled at Luo Qi and said, "Your Highness, please go back, we have guests."

Luo Qi turned his eyes, turned his head and looked outside the door, there was a person standing outside, it was Wei Qingxuan.

He slightly pursed his lips, nodded, got up and threw the chess piece in his hand back into the chess pavilion, straightened his robe, bowed in vain, and walked outside.

Passing by Wei Qingxuan, he glanced at him lightly, his eyes a bit sullen, Wei Qingxuan immediately lowered his head, not daring to look at Luo Qi.

After Luo Qi was escorted away by the soldiers, he breathed a sigh of relief, and walked slowly into the house with her under the guidance of Sanqian.

He bowed and stood on one side, and saw Chu Shou sitting in front of the chessboard, wearing the same green clothes as before, without any emotion in his eyes, but with a cold face, which made people dare not approach him.

"I gave you a few days, Mr. Wei, can you think about it?"

Chu Shou's voice jingled like fingers pressing the tight strings in Wei Qingxuan's heart, before he could say any more, he knelt down straight, his trembling lips could not utter a word.

At this time, a person came out from the shadow behind him, wearing a black robe, covering his face, with a slender figure, and a token pinned to his waist with the word "Xuanji" engraved on it. He gently placed a stack of letters in his hand In front of Chu Shou, he silently retreated to the back.

Chu Shou didn't open the letter, but just looked straight in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "Privately mining copper mines, using power for personal gain, enriching one's own pockets, killing court officials... treason and collaborating with the enemy? Which crime is Mr. Wei going to plead guilty to?"

"Your officer... have nothing to say."

After Wei Qingxuan finished speaking, he raised his hand and kowtowed respectfully to Chu Shou, as if death was at home.

Chu Shou slightly raised his eyebrows, as if Wei Qingxuan's quick confession was within her expectation.

"When I went to the state capital that day, I met an old farmer who said that the representative of the village was coming to ask for money from the government. He was coughing like hell, so I sent someone to check along this line. It turned out that the people in the old village Suffering from a cough, I had no money to buy medicine, so I took the money and went to Jiuzhaitang in the west of the city, and bought a lot of medicine, I looked at the prescription, and it was the medicine that miners often drink, guess what?"

Chu Shou looked at Wei Qingxuan with a smile, and continued: "I sent people all the way to Houqiu Village. Seeing Mr. Wei, your personal guards prevented the whole village from entering. It turns out that the siege of the bandits at the foot of Nanshan Mountain was just a cover. Supply for one village.”

"You have been an official for many years. You have been a high-spirited and upright person, and your reputation has spread far and wide. Even the Dali Temple Minister from Kyoto respects you very much. You are promoted everywhere. You have many opportunities to be promoted to Beijing, but you have traveled around. Take a step into Kyoto."

"That's the end of the story. I won't pursue it if there are too many. I'm really afraid that if I continue to investigate, it will really damage the friendship between the two countries."

After Chu Shou finished speaking, he picked up the letter on the table, marked it, and threw all the documents for interrogation in front of Wei Qingxuan.

"Privately mining copper mines, using power for personal gain, and hiring murderers to kill court officials. Mr. Wei, you have earned the name of a corrupt official. Are you guilty of the three crimes?"

Wei Qingxuan trembled slightly, fell on the ground, did not raise his head for a long time, only heard a trill, and said sadly: "I plead guilty."

After hearing this, Chu Shou sneered, and said in a deep voice, "You should admit it. Abandon the car to protect the handsome man. If you don't take care of everything, how can you protect the person behind you?"

"As for how much the Metropolitan Procuratorate can find out? Will the case be closed? Let Mr. Wei ask for blessings."

Your Majesty has his own discretion, since he specifically asked not to spoil the friendship between the two countries, the courtiers should naturally follow His Majesty's lead, and only clean up the local officialdom. As for collaborating with the enemy and treason, she doesn't want to Check it out further...

Wei Qingxuan can't be convicted yet, and when the envoy Youyan arrives tomorrow, he will naturally have to rely on him to welcome him.

After Wei Qingxuan left, Ah Shui put away the letters scattered on the ground, and Chu Shou raised his hand, motioning for her to pass it to Xuanji standing behind him, and said, "Xuanji, pass it to the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

Before Xuanji picked it up, he said in a deep voice: "They entered the mine that day, and it seems that they have already found out, only a few details are missing, so there is no need to submit it."

His voice was hoarse and a little numb.

Chu Shou turned to look at him, with the veil covering his face, no sadness or joy, "Go and see him again! It's been a long time since we saw him last time, don't you miss him?"

Xuanji seems to have lowered his head, deep in thought, Chu Shou always asked him to see, who exactly is he going to see... let him think, and who is he thinking about.

Soon, Song Yanqing received another letter from someone who didn't know who sent it. What was recorded on it was mediocre, and it was enough to convict Wei Qingxuan of abusing his private power. It was just the affair with You Yan, but he didn't mention it. and half a point.

Wei Qingxuan hired villagers beside the mine to mine copper ore privately, and then transported it to the pass, but the profit was not included in his own account books.

"It's this kind of letter again. It has been handed over several times before. It seems to be a mysterious order from His Majesty's subordinates..."

Shen Yike shook his head, and said sourly: "Your Majesty has many helpers, and it seems that we are not the only ones, but we are the most notorious one..."

Song Yan looked at the letters on the table and asked in a deep voice, without raising his eyes, and ignored Shen Yike's complaints, "Have you found out where the money was sent?"

"There is no money at all. He used the money in the state treasury to support the mining and transportation of copper mines, and sent the copper materials directly to Youyan. There was no profit during the period. He paid for the copper materials himself. You Yan is a native of the country, so painstakingly trying to empty out Ming Qi and subsidize You Yan, it is terribly frightening to think about it." Shen Yike sat at the side, looking at the details he had found recently, he couldn't help hissing, and shook his head.

Then he took out an account book, held it up and said: "This is a fake account, and I don't know how the higher up reviews it every year. If I go to the state treasury now, I'm afraid it will become an empty shell."

"However... the envoy You Yan will arrive tomorrow. He will only stop in Qingzhou for one night before going to Kyoto. Let's make a quick decision."

Song Yanqing shared the paperwork on the table, exhaled lightly, and asked: "I'm afraid they are going to come to trouble, this time I came here to seek an explanation for the copper mine and show their loyalty."

"A Zhi, your body has not recovered yet, drink some tonic soup, I made it specially for you."

Mu Huashu held a bowl of rich tonic soup, gently placed it in front of Song Yanqing's desk, and asked softly.

Seeing this, Shen Yike straightened his face, sat up straight from the chair, and looked at Song Yanqing's face closely, with a little caution.

Song Yanqing lowered his eyes, tightened his hands, suppressed his emotions, and said coldly: "Office, take it off."

Mu Huashu's figure was stagnant, and the hand holding the small bowl was hanging in the air. He didn't know what to do for a while. Although Song Yanqing was indifferent in the past, it was just a matter of his personality. It's very good.

"Hua Shu, he's already healed, you don't have to worry about him anymore, I'll drink if he doesn't drink."

Shen Yike got up and took a few steps forward, took the bowl of soup and medicine, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, looked at Song Yanqing and Mu Huashu, but didn't say anything.

Mu Huashu clenched the corner of his clothes tightly, his eyes were a little moist, and asked Song Yanqing: "Ah Zhi, you blame me... You told her about that, didn't you?"

The corner of Song Yanqing's mouth twitched into a faint smile, turned sideways to face her, and said coldly: "Master Ruomu thinks about these all day long, why don't you take a leave of absence and go back to rest for a few days."

"She killed you half your life and caused you to walk through the gate of hell. Now she pretends to have amnesia and can't remember it. Have you forgotten the pain at that time?"

Shen Yi listened harshly, the more he listened, the more something was wrong, he wanted to reach out to stop him, but he didn't know what to do.

"enough."

Song Yanqing interrupted her, with sullen eyes in his eyes, "Lord Mu takes good care of himself. Now that the case of the copper mine has not been clarified, don't forget your identity as the censor."

"Yes, yes, this case is urgent now, and there are still many details that need to be clarified. I just need you to help me."

Shen Yike echoed Mu Huashu, interrupting her vigorously, trying to pull her away.

But she stubbornly looked at Song Yanqing's cold face, shook off Shen Yike's hand on her arm, and continued: "Now you are injured to save her, what about her? Drinking tea and playing chess in the room, did she ever care about you?!"

Song Yanqing stared at the front calmly, unable to see joy or sorrow in her eyes, and said sharply: "Come here, Mrs. Mu was injured during the investigation and needs to rest. Arrange her to return to Beijing immediately."

A few black-clothed dark guards walked in outside the door, walked up to Mu Huashu, and respectfully said, "Please, Master Mu."

Mu Huashu's tearful eyes stared at Song Yanqing for a few times, but he closed his mouth tightly, and didn't say anything more. She was not worth it for him, but what she got was such treatment...

Song Yanqing...is that love?
After Mu Huashu went out, Shen Yike secretly looked at Song Yanqing's face, and tentatively persuaded: "She is also worthless for you, and she is a little emotional, so don't get angry with her. She also ran before you when you were injured. After that, I will guard you every day..."

"how?"

Shen Yike was taken aback by his question, and asked Song Yanqing, "Huh?" in doubt.

"With the kindness of the Mu family, what should I do?"

When he left Hanyuan and took over the 48th floor, it was to pay off his debts. The Mu family personally sent him to Youbei when he was alone. He will never forget their kindness to him.

This is what he got in exchange for three years, guarding the 48th floor, protecting the rest of the people on the 48th floor, and taking them over as much as possible, this is his promise to the late Mu Louzhu.

For three years, he could have been obediently hiding in the cold garden and not caring about world affairs, but in order to repay this kindness, he had already given up three years.

"Do you want me to try my best to be a loving couple with her? This is not a kind of torture for her. "

Rather than fooling each other, he prefers everything to be clear from the beginning, so that he is responsible to everyone.

Shen Yi scratched his head harshly, thinking that he had worked diligently and conscientiously in the past three years, and worked hard to complete the tasks assigned by His Majesty, but he had caused a bad reputation. He really only thought that Song Yanqing could only investigate cases and knew nothing about these feelings. ...Unexpectedly, he knew Mu Huashu's feelings for him.

"Yes, she will understand too."

Sure enough, at noon the next day, You Yan's envoys arrived in Qingzhou.

It was You Yan's ritual officer and the second son of Queen You Yan who came. Now You Yan's Crown Prince Luo Xu, whose name is Changzuo, is seventeen years old, just at the beginning of maturity.

There is not much difference between Ming Qi and You Yan's customs, but there are obvious differences, so in his eyes even Qingzhou is novelty everywhere.

You Yan and Ming Qi are used to having their hair tied, and at this age, they are graceful and graceful, and they are full of youthful spirit when they tie their hair.

Luo Xu knew that in Ming Qi he had his own elder brother named Luo Qi, and Luo Qi hugged him when he was a child, but he couldn't remember his elder brother's face.

So before meeting Luo Qi, he was nervous and afraid. The nurse next to him mentioned Luo Qi to him very rarely. He only knew that his brother was sent to be a proton for the sake of the peace of the two countries, but the proton lives. It was also something he didn't dare to think about, and life would not be comfortable if he thought about it.

So when Wang proposed to send someone to Ming Qi to "redress grievances", he took the lead in standing up and wanted to meet the elder brother who had been separated since childhood, and told him that he missed him very much.

As for the etiquette officer, his name is Qi He, he is well-known in the whole world as a tricky person, he has a deep study of some etiquette laws, but he has a very weird temper, stubborn and stubborn.

As soon as he heard Ming Qi say about You Yan secretly digging their copper mine, he spat towards the side of the road, out of breath, nonsense!It's all nonsense!
You Mingqi Copper Mine is lost, what's the matter with us, Youyan?
So he volunteered in front of the palace, and with his identity as a ceremonial officer, he added a lot, and this task naturally fell on him.

They were delayed on the road because of Qihe. When they passed by Jiangnan, they saw the gentleness of light rain beating plantains. When they walked up, they happened to catch up with the parade to celebrate the harvest.

It was fine at first, but Qi He saw that the villagers' costumes for the celebration and the various ceremonies were inappropriate, and rushed forward to argue with them about life and death. How could the villagers give him a good face?
They rushed forward and taught him a good lesson. Seeing this, Luo Xu walked silently from South Street to North Street without saying a word...

"I really don't know him..."
