Chapter 39 The death of the envoy, advance and retreat together
Qingli brought Si Zhi Lin Zhou and Duan Cheng Zhu Bi to Jingzhao Mansion. The reason why he brought these two people was because they were both taciturn and capable people. It was taboo to talk too much when handling such an important case. man of.
Qingli can be regarded as the No. [-] legend in this capital city. He was a young man who became a supervising army as the number one scholar. He has repeatedly made outstanding achievements in the front line and has long been sought after by many young people.Many people in the government office of Jingzhao Mansion also recognized him.
As soon as he saw Qingli coming, Zhang He, the arrester of the Jingzhao government office, greeted him, his face full of excitement. This is Lord Yan who has been rumored to be like a god in the past year, "Master Yan? Why did you come here? What's the matter? Go inside first, it's windy outside."
"Well, it seems that there is something to do, just take me to see Lord Yin of Jingzhao Mansion." Qing Li smiled at Zhang He, he was a kind person to him, and he was always willing to reciprocate kindness.
"Okay, those adults please, I'll take you there right away." Zhang He said with a foolish smile and led the three of them into the mansion.
The Jingzhao government office is magnificent, simple and grand, passing through the front yard, you will arrive at the office of the officials.
"Li Sihu, the lord of Dali Temple is here, and he said he is looking for our lord Fu Yin." Zhang He raised his voice and shouted at a young man with a strong bookish look who was holding a few books.
When the man turned around, he was actually a handsome Confucian scholar. When he saw Qingli, he was stunned for a moment, then he understood, and said with a smile, "I'll take a few of you to find Mr. Fu Yin."
The four of them walked together, and the name of the sihu was Li Yanli. After talking with each other, I realized that this person was also an examinee in the same class as Qingli, who was awarded Jinshi by the imperial court and assigned to this Jingzhao mansion as a sihu.
"Last year, I witnessed Lord Yan's three-year success all the way, and then went to the border to make contributions. Now he has returned triumphantly and has been promoted to a noble. It is really gratifying." Li Yanli said with a smile, "Master Yan is a role model for my generation."
"Don't dare to do it, Mr. Li has over-rewarded." Qing Li smiled and evaded.
"This is Lord Fu Yin's study, and Prince Mu is also in it." Li Yanli took several people to a study, stopped, and knocked on the door, "My lord, Dali Temple Yan is here to visit."
"Please come in, Mr. Yan!"
The voice of Fu Yin came.
"Master Yan, please come in first, the next official will leave first."
Li Yanli smiled.
"Lord Li, go slowly." Qingli replied with a smile, pushed open the door, and led Lin Zhou and Zhu Bi in.
Yin Yelan of the Jingzhao Mansion stood up when he saw Qingli. The two were both fourth-rank officials, so naturally they didn't need to salute. promising."
"Your Excellency Ye is too much." Qingli replied politely, "Your Excellency Ye is a good official worthy of praise."
"Prince Mu." Qing Li turned to greet Yun Qi.
"En." Yun Qi responded lightly, with a gentle tone, "Qingli, sit down first."
"Yes, yes, sir, sit down first, let's talk about this case." Ye Lan greeted.
"Thank you, Lord Ye." Qingli also sat down.
It was announced that the maid was serving tea, and the conversation officially began.
"Let's talk about the murder of the envoy." Ye Lan spoke first.
"This morning, the maid Kui Xin knocked on the door of the Qiang Yue envoy Yuan Ji's room at the same time as usual, but there was no response. The Kui Xin called outside the door for a long time, but there was no movement inside. Kui Xin felt that something was wrong. Yuan Ji always got up early, so he opened the door and walked in, but saw Yuan Ji lying on the bed, motionless, with the quilt tightly covering his chin."
Ye Lan paused for a moment before continuing, "Seeing that Yuan Ji's face was pale, Kui Xin felt that something was wrong, so she reached out and pushed Yuan Ji. Who would have imagined that Yuan Ji's head rolled off as soon as she stretched out her hand so lightly?" , There was blood all over the pillow and the quilt.”
"The little girl was so frightened that she fell down on the ground and yelled, which attracted the guards. Fortunately, the commander of the guards on duty today is smart, so he immediately reported it and sealed off the post house, not letting a fly fly out."
"How did you get involved with Prince Mu?" Qingli glanced at Yunqi and asked, he was more concerned about this.
Yun Qi picked up the teacup, and bent the corners of his lips almost imperceptibly.
"This," Ye Lan looked at Yun Qi, and said, "It was just for this purpose that Prince Mu was invited here. As soon as the emperor gave the order, I took people from Jingzhao Mansion to the scene. The place has long been blocked. After Kui Xin came out, no one went in, there was no trace of fighting inside, it was clean, but the people under him found this under the bed."
Ye Lan stretched out her hand, and a jade plaque hung down.
Qingli was taken aback, "This is impossible!" The jade plaque was Yun Qi's jade plaque, it was given by the emperor himself in the year Yun Qi rescued him, and it was the only one in the world.
"And, this is the real thing." Ye Lan looked at Yun Qi.Intuitively, he didn't believe that Chu Yunqi would do such a thing, and he also felt that there was no need for him to do such a thing. He had just returned from victory and was made a prince. He had a very good relationship with Yan Xiang's son-in-law. It's not impossible, why bother to do such a thing at this moment when he just gained power.However, the evidence only pointed to him, what's more, Chu Yunqi's martial arts were extremely high, and it was not impossible to kill Yuan Ji with one move and make him powerless to resist.
"How is that possible? Why did Yun Qi do this?" Qingli frowned, "It is precisely because all the evidence points to Yun Qi, which precisely shows that Yun Qi was framed, and it is precisely because Prince Mu is now in a good mood that someone will Framed."
Why doesn't Ye Lan know this truth? However, he is just a little Jing Zhaoyin. There is no evidence for this matter. If he gets to the bottom of it, the consequences are definitely not something he can bear.
"Qingli, calm down." Yun Qi said softly, but there was an unstoppable smile in his eyes, his Ah Li really cared about him very much.
Qingli calmed down, sure enough, as soon as something unfavorable to Yunqi was involved, he couldn't control himself.
"Then, how will Lord Ye plan to arrange Prince Mu during this time?" Qingli forced a smile.
"Well, according to what I mean, it is best for Prince Mu not to leave the palace these days, so as not to be maliciously slandered by others." Ye Lan hesitated. The prince has nothing to do with it, and it's not good for my career. "It's best to be accompanied by people from Dali Temple or Jingzhao Mansion when you go out."
"You think this is good. If Prince Mu doesn't dislike it, why don't you come to my prime minister's mansion these days, so that you won't attract criticism, or do you say that my lord can't trust my father?" Qingli stared at Ye Lan In the eyes of the earth, this is the most appropriate way, and can use the influence of his father to prevent someone from framing Yunqi again.
"Here, as long as Prince Mu agrees, what's your opinion?" Ye Lan smiled shyly, a joke, even the emperor can trust the prime minister, how dare he say that he can't.
"It's so good," Qingli turned to Yunqi and asked, "Prince Mu, what do you think?"
"This king has no objection." Yun Qi put down the teacup he was holding all the time, showing a smile.
"Then it's settled. Prince Mu will move here tonight." Qingli finally smiled and said to Chu Yunqi.
"Okay, Lord Ye, Qingli will take my leave first, I have to go to the post house to see." After Qingli said, he turned to Yunqi, "Will Prince Mu accompany you?"
Yun Qi stood up and said with a slight smile, "It's an honor."
"You two go back first and report the situation to Mr. Zhang." Qingli turned and said to Linzhou and Zhu Bi.
"Yes." The two replied. Although they did not speak from the beginning to the end, they could still capture important information from the conversation between the three and report it systematically.
***********************************
The two walked side by side on the road, Qingli turned his head away, "Yunqi, that jade tablet..."
"I didn't pay attention to the jade pendant. I left it in the study after my father gave it to me. It was only today that I realized that the jade plaque was gone." Yun Qi replied lightly.
"You really are. It's good for you to throw away things that others care about so much for so many years." Qingli laughed.
"Aren't you the same?" Yun Qi looked at Qingli seriously, his eyes sparkling, "When I heard that Jiayuguan was lost, I immediately asked for my life to go to the side. You can enjoy the glory and wealth in the capital, but you are not the same. Care about those."
"Can this be the same?" Qingli blushed a little, "You just don't care, I did it because..."
"Because of what?" Yun Qi asked
.
"Because, you are much more important than those." Qing Li also looked into Yunqi's eyes, "You are more important than all of them." I was just comparing the two, whichever is less.
"Let's go, hurry up to the post house, it will be dark later." Qingli urged, and then he raised his foot and walked forward first.
Looking at Qingli's fleeing back, Yun Qi smiled softly and contentedly.
Qingli walked ahead and hurried towards the posthouse, not only because what he said just now made him a little shy, but also because Yunqi really couldn't afford to wait for this case.
If someone really wants to harm Yunqi, it cannot be prevented. If it is as expected, news of the envoy's tragic death in the post will spread in the early morning of tomorrow. The common people remember that Yunqi defeated Qiang Yue and returned them peace and stability. He would not believe that Yun Qi killed the envoy.
However, Qiang Yue will definitely not let go of this opportunity, and will definitely take the opportunity to put pressure on Da Chu. It doesn't matter whether the murderer is Yun Qi or not. The important thing is that they can take the opportunity to suppress Da Chu. At least he could use moral grounds to criticize Yun Qi, and the imperial court may be under pressure, which may be unfavorable to Yun Qi.
What's more, if the two countries are going to war, with Yunqi as the source, the people will definitely blame him.
Isn’t that how people are, when he brings peace to the people, the people will respect him like a god, but if he brings war and makes the people displaced, everyone in the world will cast aside him, the people only care about whether there will be peace, and for the sake of This peace, who was sacrificed and how many people were sacrificed, they don't care.
When Qing Xin felt cold, it really was the coldness of the world.
However, there will always be someone who loves another human being, right?
Qingli turned to look at Yunqi, you have already been sacrificed once, this time, let's resist together, shall we?
