let go of my skin fairy

Chapter 101 Little Bronze Banner, Dare to Slander the Empress Dowager

……

Only when you enter the capital can you truly feel the prosperity of the capital of a country.

The buildings of this era are generally not high, mostly three or four floors, but the streets are still spacious enough for two carriages to drive side by side.

However, there are too many large and small vendors in the capital, each occupying both sides of the road, with all kinds of street stalls, hawking non-stop.

In addition, there are many signboards hanging at the entrance of the shops, which makes the roads over-occupied and the middle looks a bit crowded.

Both Jiang Chaoge and Ji Ruxue rode on horseback, so they wouldn't be crowded by pedestrians, and they enjoyed the prosperous beauty of the capital like a horse on a horse.

"Erlang, the Night Detective Division is ahead."

Hearing Ji Ruxue's words, Jiang Chaoge looked towards a yamen in front.

Compared with the night reconnaissance department in Huai'an County, the gate of the night reconnaissance department in Beijing is much, much grander.

The open space left in front of the gate alone has a radius of five feet, and with the addition of two huge gate beasts and the tall mansion gate, it looks extremely majestic.

At the gate, four black-clothed night watchmen personally guarded it.

Jiang Chaoge couldn't help sighing in his heart, it was worthy of being a yamen under the direct control of the imperial power, the aura alone was not comparable to that of an ordinary yamen.

The two horses stopped at the gate of the yamen.

Ji Ruxue took out a token from her waist and threw it out.

A black-clothed night watchman at the gate took a look, and immediately said respectfully, "I've met Miss Ji."

"This is Jiangtongqi from Huai'an County." Ji Ruxue introduced to the other party: "Where is Mr. Di now? I was ordered to bring Jiangtongqi to an audience."

"Di Gong is in the Four Beast Pavilion, let me guide Miss Ji and Jiang Tongqi."

"No, I'll just take him there."

"Ok!"

The night watchman in black stepped back.

Ji Ruxue got off the horse with Jiang Chaoge, and walked towards the night investigation department.

Go inside the door.

Jiang Chaoge discovered that the night investigation department seems to occupy a very large area, including pavilions, pavilions, mountains, rocks and waterside pavilions, all of which are surprisingly elegantly decorated.

Ji Ruxue seemed to be very familiar with the layout here, and brought him to an attic after a while.

In the east, west, north, and south directions of this attic, there are four giant beasts carved respectively. Jiang Chaoge recognized them at a glance, and they were the four divine beasts.

"Remember what I told you." Ji Ruxue stopped.

"Okay." Jiang Chaoge nodded.

What Ji Ruxue told him to keep in mind was actually just one sentence: Mr. Di is the most upright person in the world. When talking with Mr. Di, you can only be reasonable, not affectionate!

……

"Miss Ji is here, Di Gonggong is waiting on the third floor."

The night watchman at the gate of the pavilion immediately said respectfully after seeing Ji Ruxue.

He didn't stop him, and just gave way to the passage.

"it is good."

Ji Ruxue nodded lightly, and led Jiang Chaoge straight up to the third floor.

Soon, they arrived at the door of a house.

"Ji Ruxue, bring Tongqi Jiang Erlang from Huai'an County, please see Duke Di."

"Come in."

Pushed the door and walked in.

There was only one person sitting in it.

Jiang Chaoge didn't need to identify himself, he knew that this was Duke Di.

In front of him, Mr. Di was wearing a black official uniform, but his hair was not done in any way, it was just casually draped over his shoulders, and there was no crown on it.

He is about 40 years old, with long eyebrows and fine eyes, white and elegant, and naturally reveals a casual and elegant temperament.

This is in stark contrast to the image of Night Detective Si Dowufu.

If it is not certain that the other party is Di Gong, Jiang Chaoge would rather believe that the other party is a civil servant.

"Ji Ruxue, Jiang Erlang, have seen Duke Di!"

"Okay, we're all on our own, so there's no need to be too polite. We've worked hard all the way. Let's sit down and have a cup of tea first."

"it is good."

The two sat down.

After Di Gong poured two cups of tea for the two of them, he said directly: "I have received Miss Ji's letter, and I have arranged for someone to investigate the matter of the southern region wizards' invasion of the Central Plains.

I heard that the Southern Region wizard in Baishi Village was beheaded by Jiang Tongqi?This surprised me quite a bit, Jiang Tongqi should not have entered Wufu yet, right? "

When Jiang Chaoge heard this, he naturally said the speech he had prepared.

After listening to Mr. Di, he looked at Jiang Chaoge thoughtfully: "Fight at close quarters, seize the upper hand...Jiang Tongqi's mind is really good."

After finishing speaking, there was no intention to go any further.

Instead, he began to talk about the affairs of the Lexinhou Mansion: "The young master 'Ying Jin' who has just received the title of the Lexinhou Mansion has arrived in the capital two days ago. I heard from Miss Ji that Jiang Tongqi is good at guessing and handling cases. Why don't you just guess what this young master will do when he arrives in the capital?"

Is this testing me?

Jiang Chaoge's thoughts turned.

According to normal people's way of thinking, after the young master Yingjin arrived in the capital, he would definitely meet the young emperor immediately and state his father's "grievances".

However, the young emperor is not in the capital at all, and is still on his way to the capital.

Therefore, it is impossible for Ying Jin to see the young emperor.

Furthermore, it is unlikely that Ying Jin will go directly to see the young emperor. First, the young emperor is not really in power; second, this matter involves the night investigation department, and the night investigation department is in the sole power of the emperor. Ying Jin will not be so stupid Report directly to Young Emperor.

In this way, what Ying Jin can do is actually very easy to judge.

Jiang Chaoge thought for a while, and then said: "I guess the first thing this young master should do after he comes to Beijing is to meet the 'Siche Shuzhang' of the Ying clan. The reason is also very simple. He needs to create momentum. And the Ying clan is naturally his support, and then he should ask Si Che to call a clan gathering."

"Is it gone?" Duke Di asked again.

"Nothing."

"Why do you guess that he only saw the four chariots, but not the emperor and queen mother?"

"Why did Mr. Di ask knowingly?"

"Oh?" Di Gong seemed to have looked at Jiang Chaoge in surprise, and then laughed: "Hahaha, very few people talk to me in such a tone."

After Jiang Chaoge thought about it, he felt that he should show some respect to the bannerman of the night reconnaissance department.

So, he added a sycophant: "With Di Gong's wisdom, he is in charge of the overall situation. Since this question was asked to test me, he should have sent someone in advance to find out the meeting place of the Ying clan's relatives, right?"

"You don't need to flatter me, just say it directly, why should I go to find out where the Ying family members meet?" Di Gong narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Because the Ye Detective Division is in the sole hands of the imperial power, but it must pay attention to the law in doing things. If Ying Jin really uses the power of the clan to put pressure on the court, even Di Gong will find it a little troublesome."

"What's the trouble?"

"If the Ying family members have a unified concept, the queen mother will give in because of the balance. The two are in power, whichever is less important. If she orders the night investigation department to be punished, the court will not be disturbed, but if all the Ying family members are offended, That's different, so, when it really comes to that time, even if we get the evidence against Ying Gafly, the matter will not be settled."

"Bold, you, a small bronze flag, dare to slander the current queen mother?!" Di Gong finally couldn't sit still.

Jiang Chaoge didn't panic at all.

Because, Ji Ruxue told him that this Mr. Di was only reasonable, not affectionate.

As long as Ji Ruxue didn't lie to him...

So, at this time, this Duke Di was pretending to be angry, and he was still testing him on purpose.

It just depends on whether he, Jiang, is strong enough!

Jiang Chaoge sneered softly: "Although the bronze banner of the Night Detective Division is small, it can also monitor officials and suppress evil spirits. As for slandering the Queen Mother, I think this matter can be viewed from two aspects.

If you know that the queen mother will make mistakes, but because you avoid imperial power, dare not speak out, dare not correct mistakes in advance, and sit back and watch the queen mother make mistakes, that is real disloyalty!

My loyalty lies not in words, but in deeds.Now that I know that the queen mother will make mistakes, what I have to do is to prevent her from making this mistake, or let her have no chance to make this mistake.

Didn't Duke Di do the same?You know what choice the queen mother will make, so you have to find out the meeting place of Yingjin and others in advance, so as to prevent the clan and the queen mother from making this mistake together, don't you? "

"..."

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock at the door.

Then, a well-trained man in a black night watch suit walked in. This man had eagle-like eyes and a small silver flag was embroidered on the neckline.

His eyes were on the people in the room, his expression was calm, but he didn't say a word.

Di Gong waved his hand: "Say it directly."

"Yes, Mr. Di, Yinglin has already sent invitations to the clans of the Ying clan, agreeing to hold a banquet in the 'Ruyifang' in three days, and Yingjin will also go there together at that time."

"Okay, I see." Duke Di nodded.

The visitor backed out.

Jiang Chaoge laughed.

Ji Ruxue also laughed.

Finally, Mr. Di didn't hold back, and burst out with a poof: "Hahaha... Good you Jiang Erlang, I didn't quite believe what Ruxue described you in a letter a few days ago, but now I believe it. Wake up, after Ruxue came to my Night Investigation Department, she has never personally recommended anyone, you are the first one!"

At this point, Jiang Chaoge knew that Di Gong's first test should have passed perfectly.

It's just that what he didn't expect was...

The meeting place chosen by Yinglin and Yingjin will be——Ruyifang! ! !

The place that Jiang Chaoge agreed with that 'Fairy of the Capital' in the world of white mist was also Ruyifang, and from the point of view of time, it also coincided.

Coincidence?
Why is the meeting place of the Ying clan's clan set at Ruyifang?
If it was really the Jingcheng Fairy who was behind this matter, then the identity of this Jingcheng Fairy is a bit extraordinary, to be able to influence the decision of Ying's clan?

Or, she is Yinglin?
was thinking...

Di Gong stopped laughing.

His gaze also became serious: "Okay, now that we know the location of the meeting of Ying's clan, next, Jiang Tongqi will tell you, if you handle it, what is your plan?"

"If I were to handle it, I would take two routes, one light and one dark." Jiang Chaoge said slowly.

"Go on!"

"The bright line is very simple. You only need to let a ghost 'accidentally' escape into Ruyifang, and the Night Detective Division can surround Ruyifang in an open and aboveboard manner."

"Well, that's a good idea, so your secret line is to arrange some more people in Ruyi Workshop in advance to understand their plans and layouts, so as to know the enemy and know the enemy, so that you can fight a hundred battles without losing anything?"

"No, no, this is too troublesome." Jiang Chaoge shook his head.

"Trouble? What's your hidden clue?" Duke Di looked at Jiang Chaoge in surprise.

"There is no need to understand their plans and arrangements. My secret line is that I plan to use this escaped ghost to create a case, which can just be blamed on Le Xinhou's mansion, so that this ghost can testify against Le Xinhou's mansion. For example, revealing a case that was committed by the Lexinhou Mansion before, in this way, the Ying clan members will naturally avoid suspicion, and it is impossible to join forces with Ying Jin again!"

"I……"

Di Gong's mouth opened, but he didn't speak for a long time.

Ji Ruxue also looked at Jiang Chaoge in surprise.

Jiang Chaoge opened his mouth and explained: "Since the Lexinhou's Mansion is related to the Mohists, there must be some real cases over the years. What Mr. Di is worried about is that the evidence of the cases is insufficient, but if I can find out in three days What about enough evidence? The ghost is just an introduction, and the case is true, so why worry about Mr. Di?"

"..."

Di Gong was silent for a while.

Ji Ruxue turned her head to one side, neither approving nor opposing.

After a long while, Mr. Di looked at Jiang Chaoge again: "My Night Investigation Division handles the case according to the law. It is too difficult to obtain evidence from Le Xinhou's residence in three days."

"It's quite difficult, but why not try?" Jiang Chaoge nodded and said, "If you can't get it, Duke Di can make other arrangements. With Duke Di's wisdom, there should be other safe arrangements, right?"

"..." Di Gong.

"Erlang, don't talk nonsense." Ji Ruxue said at this moment.

"I'm sorry, but Erlang is impatient, and Mr. Di should have a safe arrangement." Jiang Chaoge nodded.

Di Gong took a deep look at Jiang Chaoge, then picked up the scroll in front of him again, as if talking to himself: "Recently, more people have entered the capital.

I heard that several sects from Jianghu have come over, and many people from Taoist sects have also come, and there seems to be one named Feng Lingzi among them.

Alas, the wind and rain are precarious. By the way, Erlang and Ruxue have worked hard on this journey. After going to the Wen Borrowing Office to handle the transfer order, they can rest for two days. "

Feng Lingzi, the old prostitute, also came to the capital?
Jiang Chaoge keenly grasped the key points in Di Gong's words.

So he stood up and said goodbye.

"Mr. Xie Di."

……

Out of the Four Beasts Pavilion.

Jiang Chaoge thought of a problem, he has no place to live in the capital.

You can't stay in the hotel all the time, can you?
Just as she was thinking, Ji Ruxue said, "Erlang, there is no mansion in the capital, so you can live with me."

Huh?Jiang Chaoge gave Ji Ruxue a serious look.

No way?
He thought that his relationship with Ji Ruxue hadn't reached this level...at least, it hadn't reached it yet, and the two of them had slept by the bonfire at most.

Ji Ruxue seemed to see the doubts in Jiang Chaoge's heart: "My house is quite big."

"How big?"

"Erlang will know it when he sees it."

"Ok."

So, the two went out of the Night Investigation Department together.

Ji Ruxue took him to the inner city for a while.

Jiang Chaoge could already see the walls of the Daqin Palace, which made him guess...Ji Ruxue won't live in the palace, right?

Before she had time to think about it, Ji Ruxue stopped: "It's here."

"arrive?"

Jiang Chaoge looked to the right side.

It really is a...huge mansion.

You don't even need to go in, you can see that this mansion is really big.

Because, at the entrance of the mansion, there is a carved gold plaque with four big characters written on it - Great Zhou Palace.

The two gate beasts are extremely majestic, and there are four guards in golden armor at the gate.

For a moment, something suddenly came to his mind...

Ji Ruxue, surnamed Ji! ! !
……

"Her Royal Highness, return home!"

The four guards standing in front of the Great Zhou Palace, immediately opened their mouths when they saw Ji Ruxue.

Princess?

Jiang Chaoge finally officially confirmed that Ji Ruxue was really a member of the royal family of the Great Zhou.

"En." Ji Ruxue just nodded, without explaining too much about this matter, she led Jiang Chaoge directly into the gate of the palace.

And after entering inside...

Only then did Jiang Chaoge realize that the Great Zhou Palace is much bigger than the Night Detective Division.

Not just big.

The decorated utensils are extravagant to the extreme.

Snow-white Hetian jade can be seen everywhere, as well as various gold ornaments and bronze wares.

However, there were very few people walking in the mansion. It seemed that there were only some gardeners pruning flowers and plants, and guards in golden armor who patrolled from time to time, and there was not even a servant who came to say hello.

Jiang Chaoge was a little curious: "Why does the Great Zhou Palace...seem a little empty?"

"Because, I am the only one left in the orthodoxy of the Great Zhou royal family." Ji Ruxue replied calmly.

"..."

Ji Ruxue is the only one left?
Does that mean that Ji Ruxue owns the entire Great Zhou Palace alone?
So rich... a rich woman!

If someone marries her, will he be able to get all the treasures of the Great Zhou royal family?
Fortunately, Jiang Chaoge is not interested in money now. If in his previous life, with such a rich woman by his side, who would be able to resist?

Ji Ruxue seemed to have seen Jiang Chaoge's thoughts, and continued: "Actually, I seldom come here. I only come to live here when I return to the capital. To put it bluntly...forget it, let's not talk about it."

Seeing that Ji Ruxue didn't intend to continue, Jiang Chaoge naturally didn't want to ask any more questions, but nodded thoughtfully, and followed Ji Ruxue to walk in the palace.

All the way to the inner courtyard.

Finally, two maids came out to welcome them.

One is wearing a green dress and the other is wearing a blue dress. They are both pretty and extraordinary, as bright as a flower.

"The princess is back, and I have seen Jiang Tongqi."

The two maids bowed to Ji Ruxue and Jiang Chaoge gracefully.

Ji Ruxue explained to Jiang Chaoge: "The one in the green dress is called Ping'er, and the one in the blue dress is called Meng'er. If Erlang needs anything, just tell them."

"Okay." Jiang Chaoge nodded, and then said, "How do you know me?"

"Because, when Her Royal Highness the Princess came back from Huai'an a few days ago, she sent a letter to us, saying that Jiang Tongqi would return to live in the Palace with Her Royal Highness." Ping'er replied.

"I see." Jiang Chaoge understood.

"Jiang Tongqi, please come with Ping'er, your guest room has been packed."

"Thanks."

Follow Ping'er to a small courtyard.

Jiang Chaoge has seen the "guest room" of this era. What kind of guest room is this? It's just a small independent courtyard in the mansion.

There is a mountain in the courtyard, although it is a rockery, it is majestic and majestic. Moreover, in this independent small courtyard, there is even a small pool.

Chrysanthemums are planted around, and fish swim in the pond.

The palace is different!

"Jiang Tongqi, the bathing things are ready, do you need Ping'er to serve you?"

"No, I'll wash it myself."

"Ok."

Ping'er didn't insist, turned and left.

……

Ping'er was sent away.

A figure flew over from the courtyard next door.

Ji Ruxue has already changed into a new set of clothes, instead of wearing her black and white long dress, she changed into a set of clothes that clearly belonged to Da Zhou.

The neckline is embroidered with black birds, and the overall color is mainly red and white.

The long skirt was on her body, gorgeous and noble, she was completely dressed like a princess.

Jiang Chaoge looked at it for a while before he came back to his senses: "Miss Ji, you are really a fairy who fell into the mortal world."

Ji Ruxue glanced back at him: "Mr. Di didn't answer, but the meaning is to see if you can get the evidence from Le Xinhou's residence within three days. What are your plans next?"

"I want a dossier of Le Xinhou's residence."

"Well, the dossier of Le Xinhou's mansion, I can help you go to the night investigation department to transfer it, what else do you want?"

"I also want a set of clothes that match Her Royal Highness?"

"..."

Ji Ruxue flew back again.

Then, it never flew over again.

Jiang Chaoge did it on purpose, of course, the dossier of the Le Xinhou Mansion is of little use to him... it's just a show.

In this situation, I want to get the evidence of Le Xinhou's residence within three days.

There is only one way...

Go to hell!
There is an old saying that goes well, if you want to be unknown, you have to do it already.

Any evil committed in the underworld will be recorded in the underworld, and will be judged fairly after death.

Jiang Chaoge has the status of a Japanese tour envoy, with Po Meng on his head, who can freely enter and leave the underworld, which is a very big reliance for him now.

No further thought.

Immediately he called out the boys and girls.

"Meet the master!" Ah Shan and Ah Shui said together.

"Go to Siche Shuchang's Mansion and Lexinhou's Mansion to see what Yinglin and Yingjin are doing now, and remember to come back immediately if you are in danger," Jiang Chaoge ordered.

Le Xinhou's mansion is in the capital, and it also has a mansion.

"Yes, master!" Ah Shan and Ah Shui left quickly.

He didn't even ask who Yinglin and Yingjin were.

From this point of view...these two are also experienced veterans, and the former wizard of the Southern Region should have used them to inquire about news.

Jiang Chaoge felt relieved, since he is an experienced veteran, there is a high probability that there will not be any great danger, at least he can come back alive, right?
Mind a move.

A soul escaped from his body.

Jiang Chaoge now has a total of five souls.

Jiang Yu'er was coming by boat from Huai'an all the way to the capital.

Mo Su is currently practicing with his master Mo Ling on Mount Shennong.

Kong Xiang is still on his way to the Western Regions.

The soul in front of him has always been merged with Jiang Erlang's soul, in case of emergency.

The soul escapes.

Holding the jade talisman of the Japanese tour envoy in his hand, he headed towards the underworld.

(much later, sorry!)
