Forensic lady champion husband

Chapter 58

One word is said, two words are clear.Both Yan Ziqin and his father-in-law are the king's salary, loyal to the king, but the "king" in their hearts is different. One is the number one scholar in the Tiansheng period who was single-handedly promoted by the emperor, and the other is the humerus minister who has assisted the queen mother to listen to the government for many years.

Quyuan's eyes are sharp, how can he not see through the meaning of his son-in-law, in fact, he does not understand that the world belongs to the emperor after all, but he is already the guest of the empress dowager, if the empress dowager didn't take the initiative to delegate power, even if he wanted to switch to the emperor, He will not be trusted, not to mention the risk of being hated by the Queen Mother's followers.

At that time, he chose to marry his daughter to Yan Ziqin also because of political considerations. Yan Ziqin's family background was completely clean and did not involve factional interests at all. In the future, he will definitely be a capable minister under the emperor. The light has been completely whitewashed, and now he is helping Yan Ziqin privately without telling the queen mother, and helping him is helping the emperor, and Yan Ziqin will naturally speak well for the Qu family in front of the emperor in the future.

Now, rectifying Ding's family is the consensus between the queen mother and the emperor, isn't it a good opportunity for him to kill two birds with one stone?
Thinking of this, Qu Yuanshi smiled in relief, and said: "The reward of eating the emperor, the matter of loyalty to the emperor? Very good, but you are weak and weak, even if you have the fearlessness of a newborn calf, it is difficult to resist the strong beam. Think Are you looking for someone to help?"

Yan Ziqin was speechless, it was still too difficult to find a reliable confidant who could compete with the Ding family.

When Qu Yuan got up, Ming Shu rushed to help him, but he stopped him with a wave.Slowly walking to the window, looking at the bleak winter scenery that seemed familiar outside the window, Qu Yuanshi said in a low voice: "Your patriarch Yan Shu is still sitting on the bench in Yingtian Mansion. It has been more than a year, and the empress dowager's anger should have dissipated." .”

A year ago, Yan Shu blatantly opposed Qu Zhang and offended the Queen Mother who supported Qu Zhang. He made a big fuss about the fact that Yan Shu used a wat board to injure a late attendant in Yuqing Palace, and demoted him to the prefect of Xuanzhou, and later turned him into an official. Yingtian Zhifu.

Before being relegated, Yan Shu was the minister of punishment, and based on the public opinion at the time, it was very likely that he would take over as Shenzhizhengshi, the deputy prime minister known by the world.In fact, before that, he was also one of the ministers who strongly supported the Queen Mother to listen to the government behind the curtain and opposed Ding Wei's abuse of power. Who would have imagined that he would commit "lost mind" and angered the Queen Mother, and was expelled from Beijing.

The trouble should end it.Qu Yuan thought, it's time for Yan Shu to return to Beijing.

But after the Quyuan incident left, Yan Ziqin taught Wang Anshi a lesson.It's hard to find time to take care of him these days, and Yan Ziqin feels very guilty. Just in time, Wang Yi wrote, saying that Ding You's period has passed, and he will move his family to Jinling, the new place of office. At that time, Wang Anshi can be entrusted to someone Reliable people, take them back to Jinling, and reunite with their parents.

Back in the room, seeing Ming Shu still looking at the iron coupon of the alchemy book, Yan Ziqin couldn't help laughing and said, "Yesterday I was quite restrained in front of my uncle, why are you holding this 'iron plate' and staring at it endlessly today? "

Mingshu closed the brocade box, stood up and walked to Yan Ziqin's side, saying, "Be more reserved in front of uncle, but not in front of you."

Yan Ziqin opened the cabinet for storing clothes, and said: "Then you can be less reserved." Then, he turned around and grabbed her skirt, his eyes darkened, and whispered in her ear: "Be less reserved... You know."

The delicate and sensitive skin behind the ear was itchy by his hot breathing, Ming Shu gave a smirk, and said softly: "Hehe, okay, I'm afraid you can't stand it!" As she said, she stood on a chair and said condescendingly Looking at his meaningful smile, his hands turned against each other, and he unbuttoned the collar of his round-neck robe teasingly.

The mood was just right, and the feeling of spring was getting stronger. Just as Mingshu wanted to kiss him domineeringly, Yan Ziqin suddenly turned his back on him, slowly rolled up his neckline, and said in a very gentlemanly way: "Forget it, there are still important things to do."

Listening to his serious and calm tone, it seemed that he was not the one who encouraged Mingshu to tease him just now.

Mingshu, who was left on the sidelines, widened her eyes in disbelief, pointed at Yan Ziqin, and shouted, "The surname is Yan, what kind of argument is that!"

Saying that, she jumped off the chair, hugged him from behind, and scratched his waist and eyes, which made Yan Ziqin smile with tears in his eyes, and begged for mercy three times before Mingshu was willing to let him go.

Pulling up Yan Ziqin who was still out of breath from laughing while sitting on the ground, Ming Shu pouted and asked, "Quickly tell me, what's your business, if you don't agree with me, you will be punished!"

Yan Ziqin waved his hand with a smile, pointed at the open cabinet, and said, "From tomorrow onwards, I will live in the yamen. I came back today to prepare some clothes and say goodbye to you."

Mingshu was surprised and said, "Why did you tell me such a big thing now!"

Yan Ziqin said: "The affairs of Ding's family are so complicated, can it be done if we don't keep an eye on them at the yamen? Originally, we should stay at the yamen tonight and let Xu An come back to pack his luggage, but on second thought, I'd better meet you in person It's better to say. Don't stand around stupidly, come and help me prepare together, I don't know where to put the clothes at home."

Mingshu paused step by step, moved to the cabinet like a walking dead, and asked as she walked, "Is there any danger in the yamen?"

Yan Ziqin was bending over to look for something. Hearing what she said, he reached out and rubbed her head.For convenience, his cuffs were rolled up high, revealing his well-defined forearms. His slender fingers were so powerful, but at this moment they caressed Ming Shu's cheeks extremely gently, pinching the flesh on her face.

"There are so many people guarding the yamen, the walls are like iron walls, how can there be any danger?" Yan Ziqin laughed.

Mingshu helped him fold his clothes in his luggage, and said in a low voice: "Anyway, you must be careful. If it's convenient, I'll go back and see you. Du He and Mrs. Luo are gone, I'm worried about you... "

In the middle of speaking, Yan Ziqin's fingers blocked her lips, preventing her from continuing.

"If you talk about it, it's not just cursing me, but also cursing those two people." He said.

Mingshu said pleasantly, "Could it be that you found them?"

Yan Ziqin nodded, and said softly, "The news is still uncertain, but they should be in Ding Wei's mansion."

Ming Shu said: "Then save them quickly! Isn't the Duke of Jin's mansion surrounded by your people, just broke in."

Yan Ziqin helplessly looked at the young lady who was filled with righteous indignation, and couldn't laugh or cry: "The decree of condemnation has not yet been issued from the palace. Now we can only control the Ding family. Breaking and entering is illegal. If it is really done, it will be punished instead Ding Wei's remnant crimes found an opportunity to read a book in the early court, saying that I 'insulted the official', wouldn't it be a waste of success?"

"In any case, we should take it step by step. The Zhang Lin you mentioned to me yesterday also approached me today and said that he is willing to provide some clues." Yan Ziqin said.

Mingshu thought for a while, and said, "It's not just a clue, we must let him explain clearly the matter of framing Yuan Yicun, the eldest brother of the Yuan family..."

The two negotiated until the second watch, and seeing that they couldn't finish cleaning up, they had to ask Chunxiu to come over to help. They didn't go to bed until the third watch, and they had to get up again just after the fifth watch, saying that they wanted to go to Jingzhao Mansion to prepare the files in advance.

But that night, Yan Ziqin and Ming Shu were discussing at home, while Du He and Luo Qiyu shivered all night in Ding's vegetable cellar.

The day before yesterday in the Qiyu Pavilion, the two were about to go back, but they were suddenly knocked out. When they woke up, it was pitch black, and they didn't know where they were. It has a softness that is almost rotten, and the ceiling is so low that people can't straighten their backs.

As soon as Du He woke up, he found that he couldn't see his fingers. He exclaimed, "Ah! I'm blind?!"

A soft but cold hand covered his mouth, hissed: "Don't bark."

Luo Qiyu?Why is he stuck with this woman again!

"Where is this?" Du He calmed down and asked in a breathy voice.

Luo Qiyu remained silent for a long time, it seemed that it took a lot of courage and determination to speak: "This is the Duke of Jin's mansion?"

Du He sneered, "Don't tease me, it's just such a broken place, what kind of duke's mansion, it's almost like a hell!"

Luo Qiyu rolled her eyes, but in the darkness, Du He had no chance to appreciate it, she said: "How better can the dungeon's cellar be?"

Du He nodded, suddenly woke up, and said, "When did you wake up?"

Luo Qiyu murmured: "I just woke up not long ago."

Du He said: "Then how are you sure that this is the Duke of Jin's mansion? You don't know what his cellar looks like, do you?"

Luo Qiyu was speechless, paused for a while, and then said: "Well, I lied to you just now, I woke up a long time ago, and was taken by Ding Wei to question me, and now I am sent back to be locked up with you."

"Question? What does he want to ask you?" An ominous premonition arose in Du He's heart, but he was unwilling to admit that his conjecture was the truth.

It's a pity that Luo Qiyu's words shattered his last fantasy.

Luo Qiyu pondered for a long time before she said: "Duke Jin ordered me to tell him about Lord Yan's recent situation... I know it's not righteous, not to mention Lord Yan is very guarded, and I didn't get any useful clues, so Duke Jin is very angry , decided to arrest us..."

Du He said desperately: "Arrested as a hostage?"

Luo Qiyu nodded, but suddenly remembered that Du He couldn't see it, so she could only say dryly: "That's right."

Although it was pitch black all around, Du He still felt dark before his eyes, fell down on the straw pile, and said with a wry smile: "I knew there was no white rice to eat in this world, and there must be nothing good for a beautiful woman like you pestering me. spy!"

Luo Qiyu said displeased: "I didn't become a spy voluntarily. What's more, when I met you, the Duke of Jin didn't order me to keep an eye on Mr. Yan. How can you be confused!"

Du He sarcastically said, "I hear you, are you still sincere to me? Then you should make it clear, why do you listen to the old villain Ding Wei?"

Luo Qiyu's voice became low and seemed very sad, "The madam passed on my contract of sale to him. He said that as long as I follow his instructions, I can get my contract of sale and regain my freedom."

Only when I am free can I be with you.This is what Luo Qiyu wanted to say but couldn't say.

Neither of them knew what to say to keep the conversation going.During the two days, people occasionally came to deliver food and water, but they always threw things down with iron hooks through a small transom the size of a fist.Du He tried all kinds of excuses, such as convenience, cold and sickness, vomiting and diarrhea, just to go out, but the guards were more vigilant, and every time they took them out, they only took one of them, and they had to cover their eyes , handcuffed hands and feet, did not give them any hope of escape, and did not say a word to them.

However, in the few words that the guards talked with each other, Du He still analyzed one thing - the Duke of Jin's mansion was surrounded by Yan Ziqin's leaders.He fought back the urge to laugh wildly.

Yan Ziqin surrounded the Duke of Jin's mansion, shouldn't he also do something, to cooperate with the inside and outside?That's enough for friends!
