Your Majesty the Empress, I am really not a traitor!

Even though it is just a title of "Gong", it is quite different from those kings, but you must know that in Daxia, those who can be called "King" are members of the royal family.

In other words, as a member of the non-royal family, becoming the Duke of An is already the highest reward.

As for money?Will he be short of money?You know, in order to ensure the food supply in the disaster-stricken areas before, the money used by the Daxia army to collect food was paid in advance from him.He had quite a lot of money, and his father also left him a rather generous sum of money back then.

Tsk, what is there to reward?

However, it may not be a good thing for His Majesty to refuse like this. For Xia Yuxiao, not wanting anything is the biggest price, she knows this very well.

But the problem is that you have already sealed the salary to the highest level, what else can you ask for?

Could it be possible that Xia Yuxiao should give him the seat of emperor?

This seems ridiculous.

"If your majesty really wants to give the minister some rewards, then I hope that your majesty can pass on the name of the minister in the future."

After much deliberation, Qin Ji could only come up with such a reward.

It was impossible for him to ask Xia Yuxiao for soldiers, Xia Yuxiao might give it to him, but after giving it away, the relationship between the two of them, which was finally a little bit relaxed, might disappear again.

It's better to give a false reward.Xia Yuxiao can still leave her name in history. This is also a great honor as a courtier, and it will not threaten Xia Yuxiao's dominance.

What a perfect decision, he himself admired himself.

"Well, I'll think about it."

Xia Yuxiao agreed.

This is really not difficult to achieve, it just needs a word from her, and it is easy to let him be famous in history, let him enter the Taimiao, the Gongcheng Hall in the side hall of the Taimiao just needs to reserve a place for him in the future.

Although it is a bit outrageous for the courtiers to personally ask the emperor to share the Taimiao, but this is already considered an acceptable condition for Xia Yuxiao.Otherwise, if this guy really moved out of some national righteousness and asked her for some troops, it would be really difficult for her to handle.

........................

At this time, in Daxia Tai'an City, Lingyan led the soldiers and knocked on the door of a compound.

A servant opened the door and saw a girl standing in front of him, and smiled frivolously: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Lingyan bowed her hands and saluted: "Excuse me, Lingyan, the guards of Duke Anguo's mansion, were ordered by Duke An to come to your mansion to search today. This is a document issued by the prime minister."

"What? The guards of An Guogong's mansion? These days, the guards dare to come here to play wild? Girl, open your eyes and see, what are the three words above?"

"Murong Mansion, what's wrong?"

"If you know, let's go. Don't scare people with the knife in your hand. There are many people who come to our master's door with a knife to scare people. No one dares to do it. The little girl's house, your master has to respect you!" Our master three points..."

"brush."

Before the servant finished speaking, a cold light flashed, and a human head fell to the ground.

"I'm going to do it, what are you going to do?"

Lingyan looked coldly at the head whose eyes were still closed, then wiped off the blood on the knife: "Search carefully, nothing can be left behind."

"Yes!"

Chapter 23 Arrested and brought to justice

The order in Lingyan's hand was naturally not issued by Qin Ji himself.

In fact, Qin Ji didn't know about this at all. The reason why she was able to enter the Murong Mansion with the document bearing Qin Ji's seal was because Qin Ji had already sealed the seal for her and Qin Siyue. Blank document, once you need to use it, just write the content directly.

This seemingly absurd action contains trust in her sister and her bodyguard, and Qin Siyue and Lingyan have indeed lived up to such trust. Facing the problems of the Murong Mansion, Qin Siyue decisively chose to submit to the Murong Mansion. The prime minister and General Bai verified the matter, and then obtained the prime minister's signature, filled in the contents with Qin Ji's blank document, and then began to thoroughly investigate the Murong Mansion.

Apparently, Murongli from the Murong Mansion was very angry about this thorough investigation.

"Do you have His Majesty's authorization? Who asked you to check!?"

Looking at the soldiers who were rummaging through boxes and boxes in their own homes, Mu Rongli jumped to accuse them.Now that his home has been tossed and turned by these soldiers, his wife and children have been affected. Under such circumstances, he can't bear it any longer.

"Your Majesty is currently visiting the Weixi Empire and cannot handle domestic affairs." Lingyan said, directing a few soldiers to search the floor carefully.

"Since that's the case, what crime should you have for trespassing on my private house?!"

"Mr. Murong, you'd better think it over before you speak," Lingyan replied with a smile, "Before your majesty left, you entrusted the prime minister to take care of the affairs of the court. What I got was the prime minister's personal certificate, and my family's The young master's seal is here, and among the three princes, two have agreed, you don't want to go against their wishes, do you?"

"You...Since this is the case, I can't argue with you, but you have to tell me, what are you looking for!?"

Murong Li, who knew that he really couldn't fight against the other party, didn't get angry and could only question him.

"According to the investigation by the Duke of Anguo, Murong Li and his son Murong Cheng, the arsenal of the Great Xia, secretly hid armor, smuggled weapons, and were suspected of communicating with foreign enemies. I hereby conduct a thorough investigation. I think what I have said is clear enough. , Lord Arsenal."

After saying this, Lingyan no longer looked at the earthy Wu Kuling's face, but looked at the Murong family's deep house compound.

According to the judgment given by my young lady, there are nine out of ten Murong family collusion with external forces.But Qin Siyue didn't know what role the Murong family played in this link.

She could only sort out her roughly clear context, and then send someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion.As for what kind of results the prime minister can get based on these information, that is not something she considers.

Lingyan came here to carry out the order to conduct a thorough investigation of the Murong Mansion. Although this arsenal commander has not yet reached the level of Jiuqing in terms of official position, his importance is self-evident. He is in charge of Daxia weapons. The manufacture, storage, and deployment of equipment, and almost all the weapons and armor used on the battlefield in Daxia have to go through his hands.

But now, it is found that he has a high probability of hiding armor.

Once it is verified to be true, then, basically, death is not far away.

The reason why Qin Siyue thoroughly investigated the case so quickly was because she found through multiple screenings that quite a lot of armor was embezzled from the hands of the arsenal order, and the direction of embezzlement was Luhai County on the east coast.

Luhai County has the most protruding coastline of the empire, and it is also an important city for the empire to defend against enemies from the sea.

Of course, Luhai County is also one of the excellent port cities for defending against the enemy. When foreign ships enter Daxia, they will almost always choose this excellent seaport to settle and supply. It is very common to see foreigners there.

But now, a large number of "gaps" in weapons and armor suddenly appeared in Luhai County, and a large number of weapons were being allocated urgently, but his brother did not know about this allocation.

Thinking of the importance of Luhai County, Qin Siyue immediately asked for a thorough investigation.

While arguing with Murongli, Lingyan supervised the soldiers' search. It wasn't the first time these soldiers had done this kind of work, and they were familiar with the search.

"You don't have His Majesty's authorization, you are rebelling! Your Majesty didn't say anything, it's your turn..."

"Duke An has His Majesty's jade seal, but he can temporarily act as His Majesty's seal. I wonder if Sir Murong has any objections? Are you saying that His Majesty's jade seal is useless?"

Lingyan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and she came to Murongli's study with graceful steps. At this time, several soldiers were searching through boxes and boxes.

Seeing Lingyan coming in, they immediately stood up straight.

"Did you find anything?"

"Report, nothing!"

After receiving the replies from the soldiers, Lingyan's face did not fluctuate. She stepped to Murongli's chair, then sat on the chair and looked around.

Such rude behavior made the servants of the Murong family almost want to fight, but seeing these heavily armed soldiers, everyone chose to endure it.

I can't bear it.

Lingyan raised her head and looked at the whole room thoughtfully.

She doesn't know the usual habits of Master Murong, but she knows the habits of her young master. He would not put important documents in the bedroom or living room, let alone find a special warehouse to store them.

Instead, they will dig out a closet in the study.

I don't know if there are any similarities between Mr. Murong and his young master, but it is certain that important things are kept in the study.

Lingyan stood up, glanced at the commander of the arsenal, then picked up the spear of the soldier beside him, and poked the ceiling of the study with the barrel of the gun.

Under the detection of her spell, she could clearly feel Murongli's heartbeat speeding up.

"Pry the ceiling off."

she ordered.

Murongli watched helplessly as the soldiers climbed up the ladders and pried open the ceiling.

A small cabinet appeared between the ceiling and the roof.

Lingyan looked at the pale face of the other party, she no longer needed to give orders, the soldiers under her had already pried open the cabinet, and then, a few pieces of paper appeared inside.

"My lord, I found these."

The soldiers carefully took out the paper and put it in front of Lingyan.

Lingyan looked at the content above:

"Suburb, tree 17, left, Li's tomb. 105.

Beijiao Daying, Shu 51, right, the old ice cellar. 400. "

Lingyan stared at the words on it, then sneered, and received it in her arms.

She didn't understand.

But, it doesn't matter if she didn't figure it out, these things can be handled by her own lady, anyway, Qin Siyue will definitely figure it out, the young master said, this is her specialty.

"Take Mr. Murong to prison for a few days, I'm afraid it won't be over for a while."

With one order, Murongli and his family members were all taken away regardless of the angry shouts of Murong's family members. He shouted countless times, but he still couldn't see the emperor's edict. The only one who arrested him was An Guogong. It's just a bodyguard.

Chapter 24 talks

For Qin Siyue, Lingyan is indeed an indescribable character in her opinion.

You can say that she is a servant, but her status is usually equal to that of your elder brother; if you say that she is your sister-in-law, from a rational point of view, it is really not easy for two people to get married.

Tsk, this leads to a problem - she doesn't know how to direct Lingyan.

Usually Lingyan is under the command of Qin Ji, Qin Siyue has never directly ordered the other party, but now, Qin Ji has given her the command of Lingyan, which makes her at a loss, no matter how to order her, she feels awkward .

"Miss, this is the clue I got from the Murong Mansion this time."

Lingyan handed the paper to Qin Siyue.

"Thank you." Qin Siyue tied up her long hair, then took the few pieces of paper, carefully looked at the writing on them, "Have you recruited that guy Murongli?"

"In a short period of time, he probably won't be able to recruit. This is a matter of his own life." Lingyan said.

How could he be able to recruit? The possession of armor is enough to be punished. If other charges are added to this, others will not be able to save it if they want to. A few deaths are not enough.

Rather than being honestly recruited and then killed, it is better to grit your teeth and hold on now, maybe there is still a glimmer of life.

"Then we can only wait for us to dig out some evidence ourselves."

Qin Siyue smiled, then picked up the paper in her hand and looked at the words on it.
