What kind of bad thoughts can Mr. Xiao have?

Chapter 14
Dingyuanhoufu.

"Master Hou, the young master of the General's Mansion has left through the back door. Our people have already followed."

The steward came to report out of breath.

"Jiang Hong won't let us follow, but Ben Hou guessed that he is going to Huang'en Temple. Fei Ge wrote to tell the monk to play by ear."

"Yes."

Jiang Hong flicked the eyeliner behind him all the way, he really felt that he was not free to do anything in the capital.

It's such a simple thing for an older brother to visit his younger sister, and he has to turn around and shake off his tail before he can get out of the city.

When he arrived at the gate of Huang'en Temple, he could not explain his identity to the monk guarding the gate and rode up the mountain, so he walked up the steps to the main gate like ordinary pilgrims.

After entering the door, he realized that he didn't know where the meditation room was, so he casually grabbed a monk who was sweeping the floor next to him.

"Excuse me, little master, how to get to the meditation room?"

"The Zen room? Donor, the Zen room is not open to outsiders. You can only worship the Buddha in the front hall."

The monk took a look at Jiang Hong's plain clothes, but didn't tell him directly.

Jiang Hong had no choice but to say: "I was sent by the General's Mansion to deliver some things to Princess Jiarou, but my guide was in a hurry, and there were too many people in the temple and I couldn't find it, so I asked the little master for directions."

"That's how it is. Please come with me, the benefactor."

The monk stood the broom beside the wall, and chanted the Buddha's name to signal Jiang Hong to follow.

Jiang Hong didn't like the fact that the monks in Huang'en Temple wanted to order food from others, so he didn't think deeply about the monk's trust in him without even looking at the token, and took him directly to the meditation room.

The monk led him all the way to the residence of Princess Jiarou, and kindly accepted the two baskets he was carrying.

But after Jiang Hong saw the hidden guard hidden among the tree shadows from a distance, he declined the monk who wanted to ask him which servant he was, and went straight to the heavily guarded courtyard.

Strictly speaking, this small meditation room is a forbidden area designated by Huang'en Temple for the royal family to rest and worship Buddha, and ordinary monks can't come here.

With this reasonable reason to guide Jiang Hong, the monks who shouldn't be wandering in this area did not attract the attention of the hidden guards who were monitoring the idlers.

Wei Huai'en was not really here, so there were naturally fewer guards and palace people, and monks who were familiar with royal etiquette saw some clues.

"Shui Jing? Why are you?"

Jiang Hong was startled when he saw Shui Jing wearing Wei Huai'en's dress. "What about your Highness?"

"Little General Jiang, Shui Jing is polite." Shui Jing asked him to sit first.

"Shui Jing is a female official, so you can't reveal the master's whereabouts. The little general can ask General Jiang, and I hope the little general will not publicize that His Highness is not in Huang'en Temple."

"Is Jiarou not here?"

Jiang Hong was a little dejected. He rode his horse, dodged left and right to hide the eyeliner behind him, and went up the mountain with the two heavy baskets of the general's wife. step on the chair.

"It's a pity that I ran all the way here to deliver these for my mother. You can order some of the contents and deliver them to your master yourself, and I won't run away anymore."

"Don't worry, little general, His Highness has been thinking about Madam."

Shui Jing called a few palace servants to come in and carried the two baskets down, and after Jiang Hong finished drinking two pots of tea, he politely sent him out of the courtyard gate.

The white pigeon flew into Dingyuan Hou's mansion, and the housekeeper hurriedly sent it to Yan Weiguang's study after deciphering the ciphertext.

"The number of people is wrong?"

After Yan Weiguang took a closer look, he crushed the secret letter into a roll, walked to the incense burner, threw it in and burned it to ashes.

"This is not right. Call twenty dead men and go to Huang'en Temple to find out the truth tonight."

"Yes, I'll do it when I'm young."

"Tell them there's no need to hurt anyone, but show them Jiarou's portrait. It's best to scare her back from the mountain."

"Yes."

Today's court meeting, the prince was unable to attend the court due to illness.So in the afternoon, Wei Huai'en learned that Xuan Yusi, especially Xiao Qi, had been ruthlessly participated in a book by Yushitai.

"Hahaha, say it again, what happened to the Mingzhou government order?"

Wei Huai'en just woke up from his afternoon nap, leaning against the big pillow on the bed and trembling with laughter.

The servant Xu who came to report the letter looked a little serious. He was an old man next to Wei Huai'en, but today he also pressed the corners of his mouth, trying to recount in a calm and unwavering voice:
"The Mingzhou government ordered to dedicate the only daughter to Deputy Envoy Xiao. Yu Shitai used this as an excuse to participate in Xuanyu Division's eunuch shamelessly. Official face..."

"Okay, okay, I didn't go to court today, so don't say what Yushitai scolds me later. Tell me about the Mingzhou government decree, what happened to him?"

"This……"

Xu Neishi looked embarrassed. "I don't know, but since it's Xuan Yusi's lawsuit, why not ask Deputy Envoy Xiao personally, Your Highness?"

"Come on, you go down."

After Wei Huai'en waited for servant Xu to go out, he stretched his waist and got out of bed with his hair in his hair.

There were enough ice creams in the East Palace, but she was always hot, and she just put a layer of gauze on her breast-length skirt and looked at the official documents of the past few days on the small case on the beauty's couch in the bedroom.

Before you know it, it's time to hold the lamp.

"Master, Xiao Qi begs to see you."

Xiao Qi obviously came over in a hurry after taking a bath again. Hearing his movement, Wei Huai'en loosened his sore neck from lying on the desk for too long, raised his head and waved to him.

"Why is Deputy Envoy Xiao so early today? How about that girl, why didn't you bring it to me?"

When Xiao Qi heard this, he thought that she felt that she had too much power, so he knelt down and explained:
"Master, the slave rejected the Mingzhou government order at that time. The old thief was caught by the slave because he colluded with bandits to rob the passing caravan, so he came up with this stupid trick."

"Oh? Since Deputy Envoy Xiao didn't have one, how did this matter get to Yushitai's ears? Since the Mingzhou government decree broke the law, how can you blame you, Xuan Yu?"

Xiao Qi didn't wear an official uniform, but only a black cape, and a blue robe with narrow sleeves. He didn't have the chill and publicity he met last time, he looked like an ordinary scholar.

Wei Huaien sat on the edge of the couch, lightly tapped the footrest with his bare toes, and leaned forward slightly to talk to him.

Xiao Qi was careful, needless to say he wanted to get close to Wei Huai'en.

As for Wei Huai'en, when listening to reports from the confidantes of other palace people, he would not even let go of what he was doing specifically for them, but as long as Xiao Qi came, she would unknowingly want to get closer to him.

"Because, behind the Mingzhou government order is the Marquis of Dingyuan."

Xiao Qi lowered his voice a little, knelt up a little bit and clasped his hands together and whispered in her ear.

"The servant found out from the secret letter in the house of the government order that the only son of the old butler of his family has been in charge of dealing with the bandits, but was mistakenly killed by the government army when the imperial court issued an order to suppress the bandits last year.

So the slave made the old housekeeper become Xuan Yusi's eyeliner by taking advantage of this incident.When there is something that can implicate Ding Yuanhou, it will not be too late to reveal it. "

As soon as Xiao Qi finished speaking, he was pushed hard by Wei Huai'en, who caught off guard and sat on his kneeling legs.

The phoenix eyes that were narrowed because of talking about conspiracies and tricks widened incredulously, but facing Wei Huai'en's burning eyes, he quickly leaned over to plead guilty.

"Master calm down, slave..." What's wrong?Where is he wrong?I have to figure it out quickly!

"...Slaves shouldn't make arbitrary claims, please punish the master."

Xiao Qi actually couldn't think of what was wrong with him, but he spoke so sincerely that Wei Huai'en punched the cotton, and he had nowhere to exert force.

"Bandits in Mingzhou are rampant and have been suppressed for a long time, do you know?"

Thinking that he was all doing it to catch Ding Yuanhou's braid and also for her order, Wei Huai'en sighed and spoke in a deep voice.

"Slave, I have heard a little bit."

Xiao Qi didn't dare to look up.He spent most of his life in the imperial palace. Even if he had the opportunity to serve in the Xuan Yu Division, making up for the big and small things in the court and the field, he couldn't really put his state of mind into the chaos in a few months. In the urgent report.

A few figures, plus a few words, are scattered in the large units in the court that cost tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. It is too small to mention, but it is the suffering of the people of Mingzhou for more than ten years.

Wei Huai'en couldn't see that he continued to feed tigers because of the conspiracy of several big shots.What's more, in order to make his revenge more straightforward, he allowed Yushitai to demote Xuan Yusi, who had been erected with great difficulty, to be worthless.

"Damn the government order of Mingzhou, it is indeed useful to keep him. But what are the people of Mingzhou? What about the caravans?

Xiao Qi, don't turn a blind eye to the rotten sores you found just because you put a long line to catch big fish.I can wait, because no matter what, I am the prince, and I am Wei Huai'en, and I live in luxury and wealth.

But what about the people who support the entire kingdom?If you let them suffer for one more day, you don't know how many people will be desperate and sell their sons and daughters.

The Xuan Yu Division was not established just for the benefit of the adults in the temple, but was born to keep them vigilant at all times, not daring to lie to others, and keeping their eyes clean, do you understand? "

Wei Huaien raised his toes and kicked him on the shoulder to get him up.

"You're doing a great job, every single day is exceeding my expectations."

She patted the place where she pushed him hard just now, but she didn't know that the combination of grace and power she thought actually made his chest hot with excitement.

"The bandits are going to be suppressed, but you can temporarily let the Mingzhou government order sit for a while. The money is touching, let the old housekeeper keep an eye on it, and when the limelight passes, the letters between them will definitely be intercepted by the Marquis of Dingyuan."

Xiao Qi saw that Wei Huai'en sat back in front of the small case again, and knew that she was no longer angry at his mistake, so he stood up and consciously walked over to grind ink for her.

But small cases are crowded, and it is barely enough to review official documents. If you want to write notes, you can't use them.Wei Huai'en only wrote a few words and felt that his writing power was not enough.

She and Wei Huaide's handwriting is of the same vein, but often because of her troubled mood, she is not as high-spirited as her brother's handwriting. It is okay to write a few words, but once the text becomes longer, she has to stand in front of the book case to make the handwriting not show off.

So she put her pen down and put her arms around Xiao Qi's neck: "Take me to the study, and I won't punish you this time."

Xiao Qi almost forgot how to breathe, he stretched out his hands stiffly to support her knees and lower back, and hugged her upright and horizontally, like holding up a cloud.

　Xiao Qi:
　　Wynn: Actually, I'm just too lazy to put on my shoes
