Chapter 9, Three Foot White Silk

Outside the Dali Temple.

More than a dozen royal cavalry led the way, followed by a four-car sedan, accompanied by two guards on horseback. Both sides of the street were spies disguised as peddlers.

"The third prince is here!" One person yelled loudly.

Not long after, Dali Temple was bustling with people, a middle-aged man came out, he was the director of the four departments of Dali Temple - Han Shang.

Han Shang wore a dark official uniform and wore a weapon on his waist. His expression was as calm as an ancient well, and a look of disgust flashed in his eyes.

"See Your Highness" everyone knelt down and saluted.

"Excuse me, get up quickly, get up quickly." The third prince walked out of the sedan chair with a happy smile, and glanced at the people in front of him. It was a pity that he didn't see the person in his heart, and he couldn't help feeling sad.

The third prince continued to move forward.

Han Shang frowned, took a step forward, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the late emperor has ordered that the royal children are not allowed to enter Dali Temple. I hope His Highness will not make it difficult for us."

The third prince stopped in his tracks, stared blankly at Dali Temple, and explained: "Lord Han misunderstood, I didn't want to enter Dali Temple. I just heard that Miss Mengjue is back, so I came here to meet you."

Han Shang was calm and composed: "Your Highness, Huang Mengjue is the leader of the eighth team of the Fourth Division, and is now interrogating the suspect."

"Master Han, Mengjue returned to Beijing because he solved the case?" The third prince smiled and his voice gradually deepened.

"Your Highness does not know that Wen Chengfeng, the son of Wen Xuehan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was murdered yesterday, and Meng Jue is now in charge of this case." Han Shang said sincerely.

"There is such a thing? But I have come here, why not let Mengjue come out, I will meet and talk." The third prince's tone was pleading.

Han Shang hesitated for a moment, "It depends on Mengjue's opinion."

At this moment, Jiang Wangsheng walked out leisurely, playing with the jade flute.

He said to the third prince: "Your Highness, Huang Mengjue asked me to bring you a message. She said that she has something to do and cannot see you."

The smiling third prince's expression suddenly fell.

Han Shang turned to look at him, "Did Meng Jue let you out?"

"Yes, after the trial is over, I'm leaving." Jiang Wangsheng stepped forward and patted Han Shang, "The food in your Dali Temple is really not good, so fire the cook as soon as possible."

"Mr. Jiang's words, Han will think about it." Han Shang said coldly.

The third prince was stunned, "Young Master Jiang, are you Jiang Wangsheng?"

"Is my name so famous?" Jiang Wangsheng scratched his head in doubt.

The third prince asked: "Brother Jiang, has this case ever been solved?"

Han Shang was the first to say: "Since Mr. Jiang came out, he must have been cleared of suspicion. The perpetrator should be Shi Mingyue's master and servant who fled. Don't worry, Your Highness, the Sixth Office has sent people north to arrest the murderer."

The third prince was overjoyed: "In this case, can I see Mengjue?"

Han Shang smiled faintly, "Your Highness, Mengjue is only my subordinate. I have no right to order her after work. Your Highness should visit Master Huang, so the chances of meeting are higher."

"This statement makes sense, let's go, go to Huangfu."

The third prince led his troops to leave.

Han Shang put away his smile and asked with a stern face, "You really didn't kill Wen Chengfeng?"

"He's worthy too?"

Jiang Wangsheng left a word and went home in style.

Jiangfu Gate
Shi Chenyang reminded: "Master Jiang asked you to go to the study"

After Wang Sheng entered the study, Jiang Kongliu was concentrating on reading, with someone standing beside him.

Jiang Wanqiu was at the bottom, as if nothing had happened.

"I'm back," Jiang Kongliu said while reading.

"Ah."

"Wen Chengfeng, did you kill him?"

"No."

Jiang Kongliu put down the book and thought for a while, "That's good. After all, he is a minister. You can hit him, but you must not kill him."

"Have you seen Huang Mengjue?"

Jiang Wangsheng nodded

"What do you think of her?"

Jiang Wangsheng hesitated for a while, "From the rumors, she is quite interesting."

Jiang Wanqiu reminded in a low voice: "Shangshu Huang Yingjun and our father are best friends."

"Oh, father, you and Mr. Huang belong to the same party." Jiang Wangsheng suddenly realized.

Jiang Kongliu patted the book, "What kind of party? Everyone is a courtier. I have said repeatedly, if it is not conducive to unity, don't say it!"

"Yes yes yes, I understand, I understand."

Jiang Kongliu pointed to the person beside him, and introduced: "Wu Qi, my most trusted adviser."

"Hello, Uncle Wu."

"Second Young Master, how are you?" Since Wang Sheng entered, he looked up and down, but he couldn't tell the depth.

After a while, Jiang Kongliu couldn't help but said, "Actually, our family has a marriage contract with Huang Mengjue."

"Retire! You must retire!" Jiang Wangsheng stopped drinking without hesitation.

Jiang Wanqiu nodded secretly and gave him a thumbs up.

Jiang Kong rolled his eyes at him, "Why such a big reaction?"

He got up and shook his sleeves, "Our family and the Huang family are family friends. Your grandfather has known each other since his generation, and made a marriage contract. Unexpectedly, all the boys were born, and it has continued in your generation."

"I still remember that before your grandfather died, he held my hand and told me that the only regret in his life was that he did not become in-laws with the Huang family."

Jiang Kongliu recalled the past with a melancholy expression.

Jiang Wangsheng stepped back tactically, "Really?"

"Of course it's true." Jiang Kongliu pointed to Jiang Wanqiu, and said, "Originally, I hoped that Wan Qiu would complete the marriage contract with her, but"

Jiang Wanqiu took over the words: "However, you were born just now, and the marriage contract didn't specify who it was. I heard that she was going to Dali Temple, so I hurried to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to avoid suspicion."

Jiang Wangsheng:? ? ?

Jiang Wangsheng was almost incoherent, "Didn't Huang Huang Shangshu find several marriages for her? He must have forgotten about it, and the melon that has been twisted is not sweet. Let's let it go."

Jiang Kongliu said: "We thought you were plagued by a serious illness and were trapped in Shu for the rest of your life. Later, your master wrote a letter claiming that your illness was cured, and that's why you were allowed to enter Beijing."

Jiang Wangsheng:? ? ?

"Co-author, is this why you let me enter Beijing?"

"Yes." Jiang Kongliu nodded.

Good guy, one ring after another, are you trying to trick me?
Wu Qi narrowed his eyes, and couldn't help admiring Mr. Shi Lang.

"No need!" Jiang Wangsheng waved his hand.

"What? Don't like her?" Jiang Kongliu paced back and forth, "Your martial arts are better than hers, and you have a marriage contract, and you are the future commander of the Xuanjia Army. I think you are the most suitable."

"But she is not suitable for me!"

Jiang Kongliu persuaded: "Emotions don't happen overnight, they need to be cultivated slowly. Besides, Huang Mengjue doesn't know that she has a marriage contract."

"It's not for you to get married immediately. I told Uncle Huang that if any of you have the choice of getting married, this agreement will be abandoned."

"That's good." Jiang Wangsheng heaved a sigh of relief.

Wu Qi said with a smile: "If the second son can marry Miss Huang, it will be a good talk, and it will be beneficial to both of us."

"Hehe, can our majesty be so relieved that a minister and a servant will marry Qin and Jin?"

Jiang Kongliu smiled confidently: "I don't need to bother you, the old general and the old prime minister will come forward to mediate. In the future, we will find a way to let you two get in touch more."

Jiang Wangsheng asked Jiang Wanqiu for help.

Jiang Wanqiu chooses Mingzhe to protect himself.

"But."

"Okay, this matter is settled here, there is no need to discuss it again."

Jiang Wangsheng hesitated to speak.

"Master, Huang Mengjue, the daughter of Huang Yingjun Shangshu, asks to see you."

Jiang Kongliu yelled, "Please!"

Wang Sheng pulled Jiang Wanqiu and was about to leave when Jiang Kongliu said slowly, "Sheng'er, you stay."

Jiang Wanqiu was overjoyed, "Father, my son is leaving!"

Jiang Kongliu signaled Wu Qi to retreat behind the screen.

Not long after, led by the maid, Huang Mengjue strode into the study.

"Meet Uncle Jiang."

"Mengjue, long time no see, your style is better than before."

"Uncle, it's absurd." Huang Mengjue moved his eyes and landed on Jiang Wangsheng who was beside him with a face full of disdain.

"Mengjue, you came here this time because of Wen Chengfeng's case." Jiang Kongliu asked.

"Exactly. Dali Temple swept the northern border six times, and Shi Mingyue was never seen." Huang Mengjue paused, glanced at Jiang Kongliu, and said, "I hope Mr. Jiang can recall the details, whether there is any clue of her escape. "

Jiang Wangsheng snorted, "Don't you people in Dali Temple know how to turn your mind?"

Jiang Kongliu coughed hard.

"How do you say that?" Huang Mengjue was puzzled.

"How did those two people who broke into the palace escape? They went to Nantang! Take the waterway! Go back to Beili!"

Jiang Wangsheng rolled his eyes, "Do you remember eating but not beating? I can't imagine how many people you have let go all these years?"

"Also. Who said she went to Beili?"

Huang Mengjue frowned and replied: "According to reports from my people, she met with the Palace Master of Chaotian Palace before she left and claimed that she was going to Beili."

"She said to go to Beili, so she really went to Beili? What if he still stays in Tianwang City?"

Jiang Kongliu said in a deep voice, "Sheng'er, speak well!"

"The people in your group are quite simple. I personally suggest that they go into business, so they will definitely not be short-changed." Jiang Wangsheng sneered.

Huang Mengjue sighed, "I see, thank you Mr. Jiang for your cooperation."

Seeing that she was about to leave, Jiang Kongliu hurriedly said, "Meng Jue, why don't you let Sheng'er handle the case with you?"

"what?"

"Anyway, you have nothing to do these days."

"There are so many girls waiting for me in Chaotian Palace." Seeing Jiang Kongliu's fierce eyes, Jiang Wangsheng stopped talking.

Huang Mengjue was delighted: "Thank you, Mr. Jiang."

In the harem, the birth mother of the third prince, Concubine Hui, is in the hall.

"Young lady, His Highness the Third Highness went to Dali Temple to look for Huang Mengjue again."

Concubine Hui held the teacup tightly, "I really don't know what kind of magical power this little girl of the Huang family has, but she has made Mu Chuan obsessed with her for two years."

"He hit a wall again?"

"Yes, the Third Highness went to Dali Temple, and was deceived to go to Huang Shangshu's residence. But some people said that Huang Mengjue went to the Minister of War's residence."

"It's really embarrassing for the royal family." Concubine Hui snorted coldly.

"Your Majesty, Huang Mengjue has repeatedly rejected His Highness the Third Highness"

"Indeed, a little official woman dares to turn a blind eye to the prince." Concubine Hui's anger gradually grew, her eyes were cold and stern.

She ordered someone to bring a wooden box and put a piece of golden silk and white silk in it.

"You go and give this thing to Huang Mengjue, I hope she won't be ungrateful." Concubine Hui said casually.
