Forensic lady champion husband

Chapter 64

Once things are going smoothly, there will naturally be flattering people around. Li Xian is quite self-reliant, unlike some people who are so brazen and clever that even Yan Ziqin is embarrassed for them.

"Who is your master?" Yan Ziqin asked casually.

Li Xian said with a smile: "The master of the servant girl is known to the Zuo Ban of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Liang Shimin said: "Oh, isn't that the highest official position in the Ministry of Internal Affairs? You are an apprentice that everyone in the left class knows, why do you come to Zhifang to do these chores?"

Li Xian looked ashamed, and said: "Oh, it's not because the servants are stupid, they made mistakes in front of the master, and they were punished here, not to mention... staying in the Ministry of Internal Affairs is hard to be distinguished after all. To be a cabinet minister in the Ministry of Internal Affairs is worse than a high official in the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Yan Ziqin has been in the capital for a long time, and he also knows the common saying in the palace. It turns out that the eunuch organization in the Song Dynasty is divided into the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The former is called the Front Province, and the latter is called the Back Province. Especially decent.The chief of the cabinet refers to a middle-level eunuch, and the high-ranking official refers to a high-level eunuch. Although Li Xian in front of him is alert and well-behaved, he is too young and has only a short period of time in the palace.

Liang Shimin shook his head and said with a smile: "This is not acceptable. The Ministry of Internal Affairs makes mistakes. If you enter the palace and make mistakes in front of the ladies, it will not be as simple as punishing you to clean the house."

Li Xian scratched his head, and said innocently: "If you have a way, you lose your horse. How can you know that it is not a blessing? The servants are punished, but they are lucky enough to meet Mr. Yan and Mr. Liang. Isn't it considered a blessing?"

After saying this, he seemed to know that he had made a slip of the tongue, and said in panic: "It's getting late, which prevents the officials from resting, and the servants will leave."

Liang Shimin also left with his arms folded, and returned to his room. Li Xian passed by the corridor several times. He saw that Liang Shimin had blown out the lamp early, but Yan Ziqin's window was always lit. The candle was almost burnt out, so he came in to change it. .

Yan Ziqin was very surprised, and said: "The nobleman is still not resting?"

Li Xian replied respectfully: "Adults don't sleep, and slaves can't sleep either. They are wearing the body of a crime, so don't dare to neglect."

Yan Ziqin smiled and said, "I've wronged you." As he said, he put the letter paper in his hand into a Zhusi Lan envelope, and dripped a wax seal on the seal, "Tomorrow, send it to the Empress Dowager of the Hall of Compassion."

This is what Quyuan told him. Report every move to the queen mother, gain the trust of the queen mother, and get twice the result with half the effort in the officialdom.

Li Xian was so flattered that he didn't dare to accept it, and said: "My lord, this... this letter is too important, how can this slave and servant dare not accept this important task!"

Yan Ziqin stuffed the letter into his hand, and said: "Tomorrow, I will go to the head of the Hall of Compassion, Mr. Zhou Huai, Eunuch Zhou. He will pass it on for him. Don't be afraid."

Li Xian also wanted to enter the inner court to see and see, not to mention the Empress Dowager's Hall of Compassion and Ning, I am afraid that even the Emperor's Hall of Funing could not compare there, so he obediently agreed.

That night, Mingshu was also in a daze, and had countless nightmares, sat up in shock, and subconsciously touched Yan Ziqin beside her.

empty……

Wiping off his cold sweat, he remembered that he was not at home.

Asking Chunxiu to fetch water to wipe her face, Mingshu told her about the dream just now, "I dreamed that my house was on fire, the fire was so big that even the pool water in the garden turned into spirits and burned together. People were helping to put it out, I wanted to save it, but I didn't break in several times."

While twisting the veil, Chunxiu asked, "You mean the Qu family?"

Mingshu nodded and propped her forehead, as if she hadn't recovered from the nightmare.

Chunxiu said: "I said, we don't have a pool here. Don't panic, lady, dreams are always reversed. I'll go and look up the dream book."

As he spoke, he took out an old yellow booklet from the shelf, muttering "Fire... put out the fire" in his mouth, and flipped through the pages in his hand.

"I found it!" Chunxiu cried out in surprise. She grew up with Mingshu and could read a few words. She glanced at the words in the book and suddenly fell silent.

"What is it written in, bring it to me to have a look." Seeing that she had a different expression, Ming Shu took the booklet by force, looked carefully, and also had a worried expression on her face.

Fire extinguishing - fierce, the dreamer's family will die and his wealth will be scattered, the patient will be dying, and the lawsuit will be in prison.

Chunxiu hurriedly pointed to the next line, and said, "Lady, look at this, isn't this a good word?"

Burning house - the main source of wealth is prosperous.

"Besides, the fire didn't catch you, it should be fine." Chunxiu was still reassuring her.

Mingshu nodded, asked her to put away the booklet, went back to the bed and lay down, said: "Chunxiu, take more quilts, and rest on the purple bamboo couch in the house tonight." She was a little flustered, no Dare to sleep alone.

Chunxiu responded, and deliberately left a lamp, and covered it with a gauze cover, so that the light could disperse the night without being too dazzling.

Lying on the bed, Mingshu unconsciously crossed her fingers, thinking that it would be good if Yan Ziqin was here, but she didn't know what he was doing now.

After tossing and tossing for half a night, when I woke up the next day, it was already high in the sun.

Mingshu was woken up by the voices outside the door, endured a headache and called out Chunxiu, Chunxiu came in from the door, and hurriedly closed the door, lest the cold wind would blow into the room.

"Why is there so much noise outside?" Maybe it's because of sleeping last night, the pain in the forehead suddenly hurts, and even speaking a word affects the painful nerves.

Chunxiu looked flustered, and tried to calm down and said, "Oh, it's nothing, the servants are just gathering together to gossip."

Who would believe it?Mingshu was speechless, and Chunxiu also knew that her acting skills were too bad, so she could only sit beside her own wife and said, "Let me tell you, don't let your imagination run wild!"

She still remembers the nightmare last night!
Ming Shu said, "Tell me about it."

Chunxiu said: "The decree to convict the Duke of Jin has come down."

Mingshu stared at Chunxiu suspiciously, and said, "Only this?"

Chunxiu nodded and said, "Isn't this a big deal?"

Mingshu suddenly felt that her headache was relieved a lot, she put on her clothes and got up, and said casually, "I've thought of such a day for a long time, otherwise, what do you think your uncle is busy with when you don't go home these days?"

Chunxiu pointed at her fingers and whispered, "I don't want to ask more about the masters..."

Mingshu said: "Help me up quickly, and arrange the food and drink to cleanse the dust. Your uncle will be back soon."

In the evening, Yan Ziqin really came back. He just met his face, but seeing him with a livid expression, he just nodded slightly when he saw Ming Shu, and walked into the room without saying a word.

Du He and Luo Qiyu also came back together.Both of them lost a lot of weight. Du He's right arm was still tied with a bandage. Mingshu was startled when he saw it, and asked, "You...these few days..."

The surrounding atmosphere was too chilling, and even with her, he couldn't complete his words.

Du He made a "shh" gesture, and Mingshu covered her mouth very transparently, but saw that Du He was followed by a person, but it was Xu Hang with a gray face, who was supported by Xu An.

Why did uncle get involved in this matter?Yan Ziqin had just returned from the confiscated Duke of Jin's mansion, did he deliberately go around to the west of the city to pick up his uncle?
However, because of Du He's reminder, Ming Shu remained silent. When they arrived at the main hall, seeing Yan Ziqin motion for his uncle to sit down first, and then sat down, Ming Shu, Du He and the others sat sideways with great insight.

What's wrong with Yan Ziqin?Ming Shu was puzzled, he seemed to have a heart knot with his uncle, so he kept suppressing his anger.

Everyone was waiting for Yan Ziqin to speak, but Xu Hang spoke first.

"Now that things have come to an end, what can we do? Can we still take your uncle's life?"

What?Terrible?Mingshu realized that things were really serious, and then looked at Du and Luo Qiyu, looking at their noses and their hearts, pretending that they were not there.

"I can't take your life, and you can't be guilty of death." Yan Ziqin's voice was as calm as before, but it was indescribably cold, "I just didn't expect that the person who helped the Ding family hide the old warehouse and hindered me everywhere It's my dear uncle!"

Xu Hang stood up, spread his arms, sighed, and smiled instead of anger, "Yes, I did help the Ding family transfer assets and earned some unreasonable money. I shouldn't say anything, and if it's not good for you, I'll be alone. Not even a word!"

"Do you think that I have worked hard all my life for myself? Think about it with your head on the gold list. Our Xu family is not rich. When my uncle came to the capital, he also suffered a lot. The son-in-law is no different from the son-in-law. I don’t have a son, and the gold and silver fields left in the future will not all be yours! Carrying the four characters of justice and integrity on your shoulders all day long can’t be eaten, and the whole family needs to be together For Yuanyuan to live happily, it must rely on money!"

"Uncle is not for you, but to help us win!"

After some generous speeches, Xu Hang's chest was still heaving. For the first time, everyone discovered that Xu Hang, who has always been amiable and smiling, although somewhat philistine, has such an impulsive side.

Xu Hang put his hands on Yan Ziqin's shoulders, but his passionate emotions did not affect Yan Ziqin at all. Yan Ziqin moved his uncle's hand away and asked softly, "What kind of anger does uncle want to fight?"

Xu Hang was taken aback for a moment, and Yan Ziqin continued, "Is it a noble spirit with a clear conscience, or is it a collusion and collusion?"

Xu Hang lowered his hands and sighed: "The way is different, so we don't conspire with each other."

Yan Ziqin said: "Ding said that he was demoted to Leizhou, and the assets that were transferred should be recovered as much as possible. I hope that uncle will do his best to cooperate. Being a junior will not embarrass uncle."

As he said that, he asked Xu An to take Xu Hang to the guest room to rest. Xu Hang squinted at Xu An and said in a deep voice, "Oh, what a loyal slave, do you still remember whose house you left from?"

Xu An's face was troubled. He was Xu Hang's servant, but now he became the steward of Yan Ziqin's family, so he naturally wanted to listen to the new master.

Xu Hang snorted coldly and walked away.

After he left, Ming Shu dared to take a big breath, seeing that Yan Ziqin was still frowning, she persuaded him to go back to the room first, helped him wash his face with hot water, and made some calming medicinal tea for him to drink, saying : "Since you are home today, let's take it easy and don't always worry about things in court."

After settling him down, Mingshu walked along the corridor to Du He and Luo Qiyu, and Chunxiu followed beside him holding the lamp.

Along the way, I saw the crescent moon hanging in the sky, sprinkled with deserted silver light, the night was so cold and silent, even though Chunxiu was by my side, it seemed as if I was walking alone.Mingshu suddenly understood her mother.She always felt that her mother was too tough and suspicious, but in her muddled childhood, was her mother also like this, carrying unknown pressure through cold night after night?
When the men are ups and downs in the court, the hearts of the wives are also ups and downs. If you are not tough and insensitive, how can you perceive the changes in the wind direction and give your family the most timely protection?
Just like her, she still doesn't know anything about Xu Hang's affairs. Although it's not her fault, she just doesn't want to be reconciled and always feels that she should be smarter. When it's too big, shouldn't she communicate with Yan Ziqin?For another example, should she decipher something from Du He's behavior, instead of following the hall stupidly and becoming the last person among all the people to understand what happened.

When I came to Du He's room, there was a small hall outside. Eighteen kinds of weapons were displayed in the hall, and the bookshelves were also filled with books about swordsman and swordsman. At first glance, it was Du He's residence.

Luo Qiyu was helping him change the dressing, and saw a scratch on his forearm. The wound was not deep, but it looked very scary because of the flesh and blood.

"Does it matter?" Ming Shu sat down and asked.

Du He shook his head and said, "What is this? Even if it cost a thousand knives, the young master wouldn't cry out that it hurts... Ah! What are you doing!"

He let out a cry of pain, because Luo Qiyu pinched his wound hard.

"I think you deserve a thousand knives, show off!" Luo Qiyu said disgustedly, but her hands of applying the medicine didn't stop.

Mingshu snickered and said, "Finally someone can cure you!"

Du He said with a bitter face, "Do you still want to know about Xu Hang? If you want to hear from me, don't run on me."

Ming Shu rolled his eyes at him, and said: "Oh, Enniang was the eldest before, but Engong called shortly, and changed his face after a few days of seeing each other! If you don't tell me, you will have Mrs. Luo."

Du He said: "Forget it, let me tell it, she didn't see the most exciting part. Xu Hang secretly worked for the Ding family, you should know this! We escaped last night and captured Xu Hang , forced him to take us to Ding’s study and stole the account books, of course, not all, but only a small part related to him, but it was finally the place where the evidence was hidden. Early this morning, your good husband took The imperial army ransacked the house and almost took us as members of the Ding family, but fortunately with Xu Hang as a shield, we were able to prove our innocence."

Mingshu turned her head and glanced at Luo Qiyu, seeing her nodding, she knew that Du He's words were not exaggerated.

Mingshu said: "Then what's the matter with your injury?"

Du He said with a smile: "The Ding family found out that we are not our own, so of course we have to take revenge, a little injury, it's okay!"

Luo Qiyu said: "Small injuries, you have no serious injuries, even if you are beaten to death, you won't cry out."

Du He said: "That's it, you know me very well!"

The two of them were "flirtatious" on their own, but Ming Shu frowned and said softly, "What do you think my husband will do to Uncle Xu Hang?"

Du He said: "Being Gong is so upright, he must do whatever he wants."

Mingshu shook her head, ignoring the two people's confusion, and advised them to rest earlier. The embarrassed Du He blushed, and said, "Why don't you rest earlier, I won't be with her..." She didn't realize it until halfway through the conversation. Shu didn't let him and Luo Qiyu do anything, it was because he was being affectionate, so he drew back his arm and bandaged his head.

Ming Shu returned to the room with a confused heart, because she knew that Yan Ziqin was in a dilemma at the moment.

If the net is opened, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at him in Chaozhong, waiting to find out his mistakes, expecting to kill his budding opponent.

If the face is ruthless, but Xu Hang is his own uncle after all, he will hurt everything, and he can see his heart and face towards Yan Ziqin. Although there is unavoidable attachment, blood is thicker than water after all.

Pushing open the door and entering the room, he saw Yan Ziqin lying down with all his clothes on, facing the wall.Although he couldn't see his face, Mingshu knew that he must have his eyes open, staring blankly at the blank wall, thinking about what was in his heart.

This is a tacit understanding, some people will never have it in their lifetime, and some people are like returning from old friends when they first meet.

Lie gently on his back, put his arms around his waist, buried his head in his warm neck, and the messy hair that jumped out of the bun tickled her.

She felt Yan Ziqin turn his head slightly in her direction, lowering his eyes to look at her.

"Would you like to have a chat?" Mingshu's hand rubbed against his body, the comfortable body temperature passed from under the clothes to her palm, feeling very safe.

"...Mmm." Yan Ziqin responded softly, reminding Ming Shu of a purring kitten.

"Uncle's matter is tricky, right?" Ming Shu said.

Yan Ziqin didn't speak, but held Ming Shu's hand tightly, making her palm ache slightly.

"My father has also experienced this kind of thing." After a long time, Ming Shu said slowly, "That was five years ago, my father was just promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and our family has a distant relative in Yichuan. He was famous in the village, took a tax collection job, but often filled his own pockets, was exposed by the county magistrate, and sent to Beijing to await trial."

"Daddy is the Secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. He is in charge of this case. How should he judge? At that time, hundreds of pairs of eyes were staring at him, and the deadliest pair was the eyes of the Queen Mother. Using his banner to run amok in the village is also a great loss of reputation. People in the world are very easy to deceive. As long as there is a dishonorable thing, what they remember is not the person who did something wrong, but everything related to him. Especially the one with the highest position and authority, no matter what kind of person that person is, he will be generalized and become a heinous person."

"After all, what they like is watching the show, not what the truth is like."

Yan Ziqin's voice was hoarse, and he asked, "So, what did father-in-law do?"

Seeing that he answered the conversation, Mingshu also raised her mood and said with a smile, "What would you do if it were you?"

Yan Ziqin said: "It would be great if I could let that relative make up for it...don't say anything about it."

Mingshu tightened her arms, rubbed his tight back from her cheek, and said with a smile, "Sure enough, my husband is the smartest!"
