Wait for him to come back?

Meng Qing's mind was in a fog.

"What does Taifu mean? Where are you going?"

The man caressed a strand of hair on the girl's temple, and said calmly: "The hurricane is raging in the land of Sanwu. The emperor wants to send an official to supervise the inspection. I propose to the emperor that I invite you to go."

A hurricane in the land of the Three Wus?Meng Qing's mind was running fast. There was indeed a hurricane in the land of Sanwu back then, but it was Jiang Anqing who went to the end, not Xiao Yan.

Now that he is Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and concurrently the Grand Tutor, he is naturally going to inspect.

It's just that the mountains are high and the water is far away. It seems that he will be away for a long time.

Meng Qing felt relieved and said, "When will Tai Tuo leave?"

"Three days later."

"Three days, are you in such a hurry?"

"The people in the land of the Three Wus can't wait."

Meng Qing nodded her head symbolically, and Xiao Yan stared at her coolly and meaningfully.

"Did you know that Shen Hanzhang was arranged by the emperor to work in Dali Temple after the palace examination?"

Hearing those three familiar words, Meng Qing's eyes shrank suddenly.

"Shen, Shen Hanzhang went to Dali Temple...Of course I know."

"Oh?"

Xiao Yan's eyes were stained with a smile that was not a smile.

Meng Qing sneered, "Why did the Taifu mention him? Qingqing sees the Taifu in her heart now."

"Little liar," he combed the girl's soft black hair, "if I come back and find out that His Highness has something to do with him, don't blame me for being cruel."

Meng Qing's crisp voice came, "Teacher, in your eyes, is this the kind of person I am? I'm a person who goes from side to side, from Qin to Chu..."

Xiao Yan raised his sword eyebrows, admiring the girl's face with great interest, the black pupils in the distance, the nose and lips, the pink face and the peach cheeks, it seems that it is indeed harmless to humans and animals, but how do you know what kind of girl is hiding there? Femme fatale.

But even so, he still couldn't help liking such a little girl who approached him proactively and purposefully.

He clearly knew that she was approaching him for the sake of the throne, but he just wanted to lock her tightly by his side and not allow others to approach him.

He said: "I naturally believe in His Highness, even if His Highness abandons me, I will still be loyal to His Highness."

I bother!

Meng Qing really admired his ability to tell lies with his eyes open. Could it be that he was not the one who forced the palace in the last life, but Xiao Yan who was taken away?

At this moment, the two of them really matched each other, both of them were good at deceiving each other with their disguises, but in reality they were not the same.

She tentatively asked: "If you come back and find out that I have something to do with Shen Hanzhang, what will you do to him?"

After asking these words, Xiao Yan's expression immediately sank, in the dim environment of the carriage, he looked like a ghost, gloomy and deep.

"Of course I killed him. But don't worry, Your Highness. I love Your Highness, so I'm not willing to ask His Highness to die with him. I will imprison you, Your Highness, and tell you to live or die."

After hearing this, Meng Qing gasped.

She didn't dare to underestimate Xiao Yan's strength. In the whole Yujing, he looked weak and cold and lonely on the surface, but in fact the whole Yujing was under his control. It was a breeze for him to imprison her.

The corners of Meng Qing's mouth trembled, forcing a smile.

"Don't worry, Taifu, Qingqing will be in Yujing, waiting for Taifu's return."

Hearing the satisfactory answer, the gloom in the corners of Xiao Yan's eyes also quietly disappeared.

He said: "It's getting late, Your Highness should hurry back to the palace, the carriage is about to leave the palace gate."

"Alright, take care, Taifu."

"Ah."

Meng Qing's palm left Xiao Yan, took the hat, got up and walked out, and jumped off the carriage tremblingly.

She stood on the green brick floor in a daze, and Xiao Yan opened the curtain to look at her.

"What are you doing in a daze, go back to the palace quickly."

Meng Qing raised her head, her lips turned pale.

She put on her hat, lowered her head and left slowly towards the opposite side of the carriage.

……

Dali Temple.

The clouds are moving slowly, and the sky is full of sunshine.

Just as Gu Huaian came out of the palace, other officials from Dali Temple surrounded him.

"My lord, what does the emperor say, who do you plan to appoint to go to Yizhou?"

"Yes, the plank road case in Yizhou is so important, it is necessary to select an experienced and capable person among the six directors."

Gu Huaian stopped, and looked at the officials under him with some confusion.

He said: "Wu Cheng, member of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Feng Qin, supervisor and censor, and Shen Hanzhang, director of Dali Temple."

"Shen Hanzhang?"

"How could it be him……"

"Can he do it? Leave such an important case to him..."

Gu Huaian took a deep breath and said: "He is the top three in the imperial examination. The emperor attaches great importance to him. It is unexpected to appoint him."

"But he's just a baby, he hasn't taken over any cases, how should he deal with it?"

"Isn't the Ministry of Punishment and the supervisory censor going there together?" Gu Huaian glanced at these people.

The few directors in Dali Temple, except for Shen Hanzhang, all of them think highly of themselves, and they all feel that they are not inferior to Shen Hanzhang, and express their dissatisfaction one after another.

But he still has doubts about why Shen Hanzhang was finally arranged in Dali Temple.

I always feel that someone is behind the scenes.

Furthermore, he was sent to Yizhou to investigate the case just a few days after he took office, which is really strange.

Sitting in this position for a long time, Gu Huaian had to think a lot. In the hot weather, he couldn't stand the heat, so he went straight to the inner hall.

These directors looked at Gu Huai'an's back and talked a lot.

"I heard that Shen Hanzhang was able to enter our Dali Temple through a special way."

"Why do you say that, isn't he the top three in the imperial examination?"

"It's true that he was the top three in the imperial examination, but at first the emperor didn't want him to be the director of Dali Temple."

"Have you heard of the Chunwei fraud case that was raging a while ago?"

"You mean..."

"That's right, I heard that the little Diji has testified for him in person, but think about the surname of the little Diji's concubine..."

"My surname is Gu."

"It seems that the Gu family intends to cultivate it. You and I who have no background or background may only be able to stay in this straight position for the rest of our lives!"

Gu Huaian summoned Shen Hanzhang to the inner hall of Dali Temple.

The furnishings in the hall are monotonous, the brown-red tables and chairs are neat and orderly, and the landscape screen separates the inside and outside.

He sat on the armchair and took a sip of tea, raised his eyelids and looked at Shen Hanzhang. He was still the same as when he was in the Ministry of Criminal Justice. calm and gentle.

The teacup was lightly placed on the corner of the desk by him, and he said: "You should know what the officer called you to do."

Shen Hanzhang lowered his eyebrows, "The lower officials don't know."

Gu Huaian chuckled and said, "The emperor intends to appoint you to Yizhou to try the case."

"Yizhou?"

"That's right, the famous Yizhou plank road case."

Shen Hanzhang frowned lightly.

He had heard about this case before, but he didn't expect it to end up on his head.
