Chapter 51 The Third Princess
"Yan'er, come here." Xia Haiyan just lifted up the sleeves of his robe and was about to go to the hall in person, but was stopped by an old voice.

Xia Haiyan looked back to see the person who came, and asked suspiciously: "Father, do you want to interrogate yourself?"

Xia Heng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, had a serious face, the official hat on his head was neatly worn, and the official robes around his body were neatly tidied up. It could be seen that he was a serious person.

"Yan'er, leave this case to my father, don't worry about it." Xia Heng coughed lightly, and pulled Xia Haiyan into the inner hall.

Xia Haiyan was even more puzzled, "Can the father tell the child why?"

Xia Heng thought for a while, then murmured: "Anle County will mainly become the third prince's concubine."

If Yun Changyi only had the false name of the county lord, Xia Haiyan could be tried as she wanted, but once she was the third concubine, it would be complicated.

The prince and concubine must not be stained. Gu Jinnian's mother, Concubine De's natal family is very powerful, and Xia Haiyan can't afford to offend so many people for the life of a maid.

Therefore, this case can only be suppressed.

Cracks began to appear on his stern face, and Xia Haiyan's clear eyebrows and eyes flashed doubts, doubts about himself, and immediately, he smiled wryly, "Father forgot the few words written on the plaque hanging in the courtroom. Big letters?"

Xia Heng sighed, and said helplessly: "Yan'er, you have been an official for a long time from Youzhou to Jinling. There are some things that my father thinks you should understand."

"Father, you don't need to say anything, the child understands everything." After Xia Haiyan let out a few breaths, he walked away silently.

At this time, he thought of Zhao Wuyong making troubles in Feng's house, what Feng Xihe had said to him when he pointed out Feng Xihe's plan.

There are many things that cannot be dealt with on the bright side.Back then, after he was transferred back from Youzhou, he rejected Emperor Changde's special invitation to not serve as the chief counselor of Baijiantang behind him, but chose to become a member of the Ministry of Punishment, in order to bring all unjust cases to justice.

However, later he gradually understood the various interests and the mediation of various forces.Although, he has seen through these things long ago, but every time he faces them, he still has a lot of resentment.

I think his Xia family is also a hairpin family with a history of a hundred years, but now, it has completely lost its former vigor.

He was at a loss, frowning, and walked out of the gate of the Ministry of Justice in a daze. He swung his fist and hit a pillar so hard that the red paint on the pillar fell off to the ground.

However, when he looked up, he saw a slim young girl wandering outside the door.The veil is lightly covered, covering the morning mist, and the girl is like a quiet epiphyllum, quietly blooming.

"Miss Feng, you don't have to wait any longer. The County Lord Anle and Mrs. Yun will probably go back soon." He collected his expression and said solemnly: "I think this matter originally originated from your inner house struggle. So, it should have no effect on you."

Feng Xihe was stunned for a while, and then asked: "Master Xia was frowning just because of this incident?"

She heard that Gu Jinnian knelt in front of Concubine De's palace for several days in order to rescue Yun Changyi. Concubine De couldn't bear it, so she agreed to let him marry Yun Changyi.

Gu Jinnian's deep affection for Yun Changyi was beyond her expectations.It's a pity that Gu Jinnian's fate was also miserable in his previous life.

Yun Changyi sneaked into the Third Prince's Mansion and leaked everything about Gu Jinnian to Gu Jincheng. After Gu Jinnian lost power, she fell into Gu Jincheng's arms without hesitation.

But she designed to make Gu Jinnian mistakenly think that she fell into Gu Shiyin's hands. For her sake, Gu Jinnian went against Gu Shiyin with the remnants of his soldiers beyond his control, and was captured in the end.

Even though Feng Xihe later went to steal the White Elephant Talisman, Gu Jincheng took the White Elephant Talisman as his own, and after he brought Gu Jin out of the Jiuqu Linglong Pagoda, he was imprisoned for life.

Yun Changyi will only make good use of everyone who is useful to her, and will not cherish the sincerity of others.

Of course Xia Haiyan would not tell Feng Xihe that just now he had accumulated years of emotional outbursts.

"May Miss Feng be free today, and go to Tianxiang Tea House with me?" After a while, Xia Haiyan asked quickly.

Feng Xihe was slightly taken aback, and then she agreed, and went to Tianxiang Teahouse with Xia Haiyan.

A certain guard couldn't help making a note for both of them. On the third day of July, Miss Feng and Xia Shilang had a private meeting at Tianxiang Tea House.

When they arrived at Tianxiang Tea House, they found a private room and sat down. Looking to the side, there was a busy street.

However, although Xia Haiyan asked her to come, Xia Haiyan didn't speak for a long time, but pressed his lips tightly, looked at the teacup in front of him, and said nothing.Refreshments on the table were never touched either.

Feng Xihe looked at it, then took out a note from his sleeve and gave it to him.

"Lord Xia, maybe you can take a look at this. The Lord Anle signed a contract with me. In order to compensate for the loss of my mansion, he must either pay 100 million taels, or become a concubine for the third prince."

"According to the third prince's deep affection for her and her skills, even if she becomes a concubine, it will only be for a while. In the future, they will definitely try every means to make her a concubine."

"However, she would rather raise 100 million taels than agree to the second clause."

Xia Haiyan opened it to take a look, frowning tightly, he pondered and said: "You mean, the Anle County Princess didn't want to marry the third prince, but today, she was designated as the third prince's concubine because she was desperate?"

Feng Xihe nodded slightly, "Yes, at least not in her own name."

"Then what exactly does Anle County Lord want?" Xia Haiyan fell into deep thought. In the past, he was not interested in that overpowering beauty, so he didn't pay much attention to her affairs.

However, after this incident, he also thought of the rumors in Jinling City, saying that on the day Feng Xihe got married, she was tricked into the wilderness. Gu Jinnian broke up.

It seems that he needs to take care of this county head in the future.

Seeing his expression, Feng Xihe understood his doubts, she interrupted his thoughts, and said: "Master Xia, actually, I think it would be good for Master Shangshu to take over this case. Because at the beginning, it really belonged to me and my wife." A personal grievance between the Anle county masters."

"Your character is not suitable to be involved in my affairs with her."

The suspicion between Xia Haiyan's eyebrows became heavier, "You agreed to come here with me just to say these things?"

"It's not just that. I'm actually..." Feng Xihe hesitated for a while, his eyes were moist, and he opened his lips silently, "I know that Mrs. Xia has traveled all over the world, has seen a lot, and can gain insight into others in the fastest time. unknown news."

"So, I would like to ask you to help me find two relatives."

Her eldest brother and sister-in-law have not heard from each other for several months. After all, she doesn't know people from other places in Ningguo, and she doesn't want to leak the news. Finding them in the vast crowd is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

Xia Haiyan's eyes darkened slightly, staring at her cheeks, he felt that every time he saw her, she gave him a different feeling.

It was the same this time. I thought that although she was calm and calm, she was just a selfish woman who would not cherish the relationship between sisters and brothers. She never thought that there were people in this world who she cared about.

"Okay." His thin lips parted, and he readily agreed.

"And..." After a while, Feng Xi opened his mouth, but he didn't continue after thinking about it.In fact, she still wanted him to spy on someone, but she later felt that it was better to wait for the elder brother to come back first.

"Is there anything else I can do to help you?"

"No more." Immediately afterwards, Feng Xihe quietly sipped his tea and observed the pedestrians on the street.

Xia Haiyan was a little confused about what could make her hesitate.

However, his mind was in a trance, she covered her face with a veil, slightly narrowed her eyes, and looked sideways at him, giving him a sense of elegance and detachment, like a woman he had met in Youzhou.

That woman is from Riyue Mountain, she is both talented in sex and art, she is also calm and calm, and he is also impressed by him.Unfortunately……

"Master Xia, what are you thinking?" Feng Xihe noticed that his eyes did not look away, and he couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.

"No, I just think you look like an old friend." Xia Haiyan turned her eyes away and said in a low voice, "Apart from your family members, do you have anyone else you care about?"

"Others?" Feng Xihe thought about it carefully for a while, and then replied affirmatively: "There used to be, but now there is no more."

In her previous life, she could sacrifice everything for Gu Jincheng, but in the end it was a lesson of blood and tears.As for the young man who had made an agreement with her in Riyue Mountain, she doubted whether it was an illusory phantom.

Xia Haiyan was silent for a moment, and then, after the two of them talked casually, he left.

After Xia Haiyan left, Yuanying came in from the outside and told Feng Xihe about Gu Jinnian and Yun Xiaomei's visit to the prison just now.

Feng Xihe's eyes brightened, he put down the teacup in his hand, and exhaled quietly: "My lady, the life given to Steward Feng is long enough."

Yuanying rolled his eyes and understood what she meant, so he didn't ask any more questions, turned around and left.

An hour later, news came out from the jail of the Criminal Ministry that Feng Zhong had died.

After an autopsy, it was found that there was no trauma other than a small hole in the heart.

Feng Xihe and Mrs. Feng came to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Feng Xihe said to Xia Heng: "Feng Steward is from the government of our country. Even if he made a mistake, he can't just die for no reason. This lady must ...to investigate thoroughly!"

Xia Heng had a headache. He planned to release all three of them after two days.However, once Feng Zhong died, things went wrong again and had to be re-arranged.

In the cell, Feng Ruolan was disgraced after staying there for a few days.

"You damn ghost, why did you abandon me!" She ignored the contemptuous gazes of others, and wanted to rush over and cry bitterly on Feng Zhong's corpse.

However, Yun Changyi grabbed her, stared at her, and whispered to her, "Don't make any more trouble!"

Afterwards, Yun Changyi looked at Feng Xihe questioningly, "Xihe, our mother and daughter have already fallen to this point, what are you going to do to force people to go too far? Feng Steward died, and the one who benefited the most should not is it you?"

"Big cousin is wrong." Feng Xihe glanced at Xia Heng meaningfully, "Originally, this case has been solved, and this lady has also proved her innocence. Even if Steward Feng dies, what good will it do me? ? Unless, you have another ulterior secret."

"In my opinion, the big cousin and aunt should be the ones who benefit. If both Yinzhu and Feng Butler know your ulterior secrets, and you kill people to silence them now, you won't have any troubles."
