Chapter 22 Xuan County Magistrate

"This kind of opportunity is rare in the future." After Nan Yi finished speaking, the two returned to the camp together. If it wasn't for Feng Yici who wanted to maintain his personality well, he would definitely teach Xu Jingtang a lesson.

The last person who made him jealous was severely beaten, and he probably recovered from his injuries.

"Your Highness, how did you find out that the third prince likes me?" Feng Yici didn't know how to answer. He could clearly feel Xu Jingtang's hostility because of Nanyi, and today it was even more sarcastic. I'm not in good health, and even a woman can't protect me.

What an obvious intention.

"It turns out that he came to the enemy's country to be a hostage because he likes me." Seeing Feng Yici's delay in answering, Nan continued.

Back then, I wondered why he was willing to come to the enemy country to be a hostage, but now I know the answer, and I don't know how Xu Jingtang fell in love with him.

"Do you have any feelings for him?"

"No, it's just a defeated general, and I can't catch my eyes." Nan Yi replied very simply, she really didn't like Xu Jingtang, on the battlefield there was only killing, no emotion.

"Then what about me?" It was the same question as last night, Feng Yici especially wanted to know Nan Yi's current intentions, did he already have himself in his heart?
Nan Yi really wanted to avoid this question, but there was a trace of expectation in his eyes, so he could only laugh it off, Feng Yici felt disappointed in an instant, just like touching his heart last night, is this question really difficult to answer?
"Come here, prepare lunch." Feng Yici ordered his servants, he knew that Nan Yi was not full, and the reason why he came back was because Xu Jingtang's implication was unpleasant, and Nan Yi couldn't dismiss it because he was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable .

The atmosphere in the room was a bit frozen. Nan Yi sat on the stool and sipped tea. Her attitude last night had already expressed her heart. Today he asked again, how can a girl say love first? !
The food was quickly served on the table, and when the two were eating, no one spoke, until the maid removed the finished food, Feng Yici said slowly:

"I will keep waiting." Waiting for Nan Yi to fall in love with herself, waiting for her to say the words of loving herself, waiting for her to fully accept herself.

Will always wait until this day.

"What about you? Do you love me?" Nan Yi asked him.

"What do you think?" The love poems at the poetry meeting are not enough to show it?Doesn't she remember the time she got along with when she was young?
"I don't know." Nan Yi's memory of her childhood is very vague. If no one mentions it, she probably won't recall it again, and she doesn't remember Feng Yi's words, let alone what the love poems in the poetry club mean.

Feng Yici did not respond, maybe the love he expressed was not obvious enough for her to feel it, otherwise how could she not know, leaning against the fire, unless the fire is not hot, would she not feel it?
"General, Your Majesty said that we are going back to Beijing tomorrow." Fu Min stood outside the door and said, he did not dare to go in, for fear of ruining the intimacy between the two of them again.

"I see!"

In the early morning of the second day, I went back to Beijing and brought a lot of wild game. Feng Yici quickly fell asleep after a busy day, and Nan Yi went to the military camp. When Xu Shinian learned that she had returned to Beijing, he waited for her in the military camp one day.

"Lieutenant Xu, are your injuries healed?" Nan Yi asked as he watched him practice his sword.

"Healed! It's just that the murderer hasn't been found yet! Whenever I mention it, I get angry!" Xu Shinian stopped, poured a bowl of tea, and gulped it down.

"How could your father have an illegitimate child? Why is he like a dandelion?"

"General Nan's words are really euphemistic. My father's illegitimate children... are many." Xu Shinian was too embarrassed to talk about it. After all, this is not a very honorable thing.

"Very... a lot? Then I'm not exaggerating at all." The prime minister had three sons, the eldest son and the second son died at the hands of women, and they spent years in brothels with a bad reputation.

Robbing the women of the people caused public outrage. After His Majesty blamed them, they all died. The Prime Minister was very dissatisfied because of this, but there was nothing he could do.

The remaining Xu Shinian, although his mother's status is low, is now the only one left in the prime minister's mansion. His father entrusts him with great responsibility. For the sake of his mother's well-being, he obeys his father's arrangement in everything and never dares to resist.

"I know three of them, and they have been killed privately by the eldest lady. She is cruel and merciless. She has no son, and she can't see others have one."

"Then Jiang Jianzhi, do you know?" Xu Shinian shook his head and said:

"I only learned that Mr. Jiang was his illegitimate son when my father escorted him to Dali Temple. He didn't take my father's surname. I'm afraid that if the eldest lady finds out, I will die."

"How about the soldiers in the west of the city?"

"It is guarded by the forbidden army, and no one can approach it. I heard that it has surrendered and is used by His Majesty."

"Impossible." Nan Yi never believed that they would surrender. Now they are afraid that they are waiting for the news of their master's trial. Even if the situation is unfavorable, they will fight to the death.

How could the prime minister turn the soldiers in his hands into useless soldiers?Maybe this is his last hole card.

"Arraignment will be held tomorrow." Xu Shinian was still looking forward to the result. If he was convicted, he would be able to be himself completely without being threatened by the prime minister.

Nan Yi looked at the stars in the sky. The enemy of the previous life is about to come to a conclusion. This game of chess is coming to an end soon. It is time to prepare for the second game. This time, winning or losing will become unknown.

On the second day, Feng Yici went to Dali Temple to interrogate the prime minister, sat on a high place, looked at the kneeling people below, and began to defend himself:

"Your Highness, it is absolutely unjust for me to cheat in the examination for personal gain. The prime minister's seal of the answer to the test question is definitely not from the minister's seal! It must have been printed by someone with a heart after it was lost!"

"Prime Minister, the witnesses and the material evidence are all ready, don't argue anymore, let's draw a charge as soon as possible." Feng Yici also wanted to understand the case quickly, so as not to have long nights and dreams.

"Your Highness, the minister was really wronged, the county magistrate can testify! You must give the minister a chance to prove your innocence, right?!"

"Xuan county magistrate sees you!" Feng Yici gave an order, and soon brought him into the hall, only to see him knelt down and said:

"Join Your Highness the Prince."

"The prime minister said that you can testify for him that the prime minister's seal was lost."

"That's true. The prime minister reported the case a few days ago, saying that the prime minister's seal was lost. It took me a lot of effort to get it back. It was stolen by an old woman in the prime minister's mansion! It was sold to a pawnshop. If the owner of the pawnshop didn't know the seal , come to report the case, I don’t know when I will find it!”

The county magistrate's confession actually matched what the prime minister said in the hall that day. He just wanted to clear up his grievances. Even if the crime of favoritism and fraud in the imperial examination could be cleared, the crime of treason would definitely not.

"County magistrate, is what you said true? If you dare to deceive me, you will definitely not be allowed to leave this Dali Temple alive!"

"How dare I deceive Your Highness, everything is true! If Your Highness doesn't believe it, you can summon the old woman from the prime minister's mansion and the owner of the pawn shop to confront this minister!" The county magistrate's tone was very firm.
