Crossing the wasteland: Farming and peasant girls can't be provoked

Chapter 144
Xiao Yilin and the others arrived in the capital two days later in the afternoon.From the window of the carriage, Jing Yi saw the majestic city gate of the capital in the distance, and the ancient and strong city wall, giving people a sense of history.

The capital city of Huizhou Prefecture also has city gates and city walls, but compared with the gates and walls of the capital city, the city gates and walls are a bit worse, at least the height of Huizhou Prefecture cannot be compared.

The return of Xiao Yilin and his party to Beijing caused quite a commotion.Because Xiao Yilin and the others not only rode tall horses and wore armor, they were very heroic, they also escorted two prison carts back to Beijing.The uninformed common people knew at a glance that this was a key criminal of the imperial court.

Those who knew the situation learned that Liu Zhengde and Zhao Kui were escorted to Beijing. Some gloated and prepared to watch the excitement, while others felt anxious and helpless.

Just like Xiao Yimao, Liu Zhengde and Zhao Kui had already been escorted to Beijing, no matter how bold he was, he would not dare to do anything blatantly in the capital, and could only watch Liu Zhengde and Zhao Kui being taken to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

And Xiao Yimao had already made the worst plan, and arranged to buy people from the Ministry of Justice in advance.

But Xiao Chenghan had guarded against this for a long time. Even though Liu Zhengde and Zhao Kui were imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the guards guarding Liu Zhengde and Zhao Kui in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice were all forbidden soldiers sent by Xiao Chenghan himself.

Xiao Chenghan has ordered Cao Zexian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, and Chu Minghai, Minister of Dali Temple, to jointly try the case of corruption of ink by Jiangzhou government officials.Follow up no matter who is involved.

Cao Zexian and Chu Minghai were summoned by the emperor together. After they came out of the Zichen Hall, Cao Zexian looked around and pulled Chu Minghai and said in a low voice, "Brother Bo Hong, the emperor is afraid that he will kill people this time."

Chu Minghai said: "Brother Huiyuan, we eat the emperor's salary and loyalty to the emperor. Since the emperor wants to do it, we can't shrink back. We have to examine it carefully, and we can't let things go carelessly.

You think, since this case was handled by King Jing at first, he must have tried it very clearly and obtained the evidence, otherwise he would not have escorted a governor to Beijing with such great fanfare.

I think the reason why the emperor asked us to try again is to avoid suspicion for Prince Jing.After all, it involves a lot, and it is very likely that a certain prince and the family behind him will be involved. "

Cao Zexian's eyes widened when he heard the words, "You mean Liu Zhengde is behind a certain prince?"

Chu Minghai nodded and said: "That's probably the case. So we have to be prepared. You didn't see that the guards of Liu Zhengde and Zhao Kui in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice were all sent by the emperor himself. This is to prevent some high-ranking people from secretly Buy the jailer to kill and silence.

And you should also be able to see the emperor's love for Prince Jing, we also have to see the situation clearly.The prince who was involved in it probably had a secret attack on Prince Jing. "

Cao Ze first listened to Chu Minghai's analysis and nodded, "The emperor is going to seek justice for Prince Jing through the corruption case of officials in the Jiangzhou government this time. We must be careful in every way, and we must not follow other people's ways. And the trial must be fast. , close the case as soon as possible to avoid complications."

Chu Minghai said: "I also agree with Brother Huiyuan's idea. If the case is delayed by one day, there will be more variables. If there is a mistake at that time, both of us will be implicated. So we have to try it as soon as possible. Close the case as soon as possible. We must also ensure that Liu Zhengde lived in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice until the case was closed."

Cao Zexian said: "I really have to beat my subordinates, tell them to be honest, and don't take any money. I'm afraid that some money will be life-saving. Anyway, I follow the emperor's intention. Never mind."

Chu Minghai nodded, "That's right, you must follow the emperor's will."

After Xiao Yilin handed over the prisoner to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he sent Jing Yi back to Prince Jing's mansion first, and let Xiao Quanzhou take good care of him.He did not hesitate to enter the palace with Xiao Yiyan.

Jing Yi entered Prince Jing's mansion and observed without any trace.Prince Jing's Mansion in the capital is much larger and more luxurious than the Prince Jing's Mansion in Huizhou.After all, this is the capital, and the mansions of the princes are all regulated. I think the mansions of all the princes and princes in the capital are about the same size.

Jing Yi found that many of the buildings and facilities in Prince Jing's Mansion were very new, probably repaired by Xiao Yilin after he returned to the capital last time.

This is the first time for Xiao Quanzhou to see Dr. Chu, whom his father often said in his letters, who saved his lord. Xiao Quanzhou secretly admired him. His lord is already very handsome. No less.

I don't know why God is so eccentric, let a person have such a handsome appearance, not to mention give him a smart mind.

This doctor Chu has excellent medical skills at a young age, and has created many new objects. He also tried to grow winter wheat successfully, creating a precedent for planting two crops a year.It has brought great news to the people of the world.

Xiao Quanzhou felt that the future of Dr. Chu was limitless.

Xiao Quanzhou was very respectful to Jing Yi, "Dr. Chu, after the prince returned to Beijing, he ordered people to repair the Lan Ting Xuan, which was prepared for you to live in after entering Beijing. Since I received the news of your departure, I have ordered everyone to pack it up. Now, you can follow me back to Lan Tingxuan to rest for a while. I will let you know when the prince comes back."

Jing Yi's journey was really tiring. If she didn't have supernatural powers, she often uses them to comb her body. She still doesn't know if she can persevere.

Jing Yi said: "The butler Lao Xiao is here."

Xiao Quanzhou smiled and said: "The Chief Manager Xiao in Huizhou is my father, and my father often mentions you in his letters. You don't have to be polite to me, just tell me if you need anything."

Jing Yi said with a smile: "Huizhou Mansion cannot do without Director Xiao, otherwise he will return to Beijing with us."

Xiao Quanzhou led Jing Yi into Lan Ting Xuan.Jing Yi found that the courtyard was very large, with pavilions, verandahs, and small gardens, which were well arranged.

Xiao Quanzhou said to the girls in the yard: "You are so good at serving, so don't neglect Dr. Chu. If Dr. Chu has any needs, please report them to me immediately if you can't decide."

Then Xiao Quanzhou led Jing Yi into the main hall, "Doctor Chu, you are staying here at Lan Ting Xuan, if you need anything, just tell the girls. I have had hot water prepared for you, and you must be tired from the journey." , take a hot bath first and then take a rest. When the prince returns to the mansion, I will ask someone to call you."

Jing Yi nodded, "Thank you, Housekeeper Xiao. It's fine if I have someone here, and you can go and do your work."

After Jing Yi sent Butler Xiao away, she took her change of clothes and went into the bathroom.In the bathroom, there was a bathtub made of white marble several square meters in size, which was filled with hot water.At this time, the water mist in the bathroom is like a fairyland.

Jing Yi was overjoyed when he saw such a big bathtub, it must be very cool to take a bath here.

Jing Yi said to the little maid who followed: "I don't need you to serve me here, you go down."

Jing Yi doesn't want others to find out that she is a daughter.Besides, she wasn't used to people watching her take a bath.

The two little maids retreated after hearing the words.

Jing Yi quickly took off her clothes, tested the temperature of the water with her hands, and then entered the bath from the side with steps.

Jing Yi sat in the bathtub with her whole body, the hot water wrapped her body, a burst of comfort spread all over her body, Jing Yi let out a comfortable breath.The journey is tiring, but now taking a hot bath like this is as happy as a fairy.
