There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 443 The princess is invited
Li Youqing had a strange look on her face and glanced down at Su Xian's lower body. She kept thinking, but she finally felt that she was indebted. After everyone's heated discussion was over, she said:
"Actually, the merits achieved by Su Jianyi are not enough just by relying on the title of Marquis of Founding County and those rewards. If we add the request of 'equal wife', it can finally be completed."

Su Xian, who looked calm, changed his expression after hearing this. This was a happy situation for everyone. He thanked without any hesitation: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Wang Sima and others looked at each other for a while, and then complimented in unison: "The princess is wise!"

Su Xian took the opportunity to smile and said:

"Princess, everyone, I have decided to marry Liu Huixiang five days later, that is, on August [-]th. I hope you will appreciate it then!"

Wang Sima and others laughed and said: "We must not miss Su Shenyi's wedding!"

Li Youqing also smiled and nodded, but said to himself: "I just don't know if that tofu Xishi knows that Su Zhenyi is already... an eunuch, eh, you blame me for this..."

Just as she was blaming herself, she saw Su Xian bowing to her and said, "Your Highness, now that the crisis in Youzhou has been resolved, and the official's wedding is approaching, I boldly ask for leave for ten days and ask the princess for permission."

Li Youqing naturally had no objections. The flooding in the Yellow River seemed serious, but once the grain and grass allocated by the court arrived, there would be no big problem, so she nodded and approved Su Xian's "marriage leave."

"..."

The banquet has now progressed, everyone has received generous rewards, and everyone is very happy about Su Xian's affairs. People are changing cups and drinking, and their faces are red.

When the lanterns first came on, the crowd gradually dispersed.

Su Xian will stay at the camp tonight.

Mainly because there are still some things that need to be explained.

Su Xian washed his face with cold water, temporarily suppressed the surge of alcohol, and dealt with most of the chores like a sharp knife, leaving only one thing left -

Arrange the Nalan brothers and sisters.

At this time, it was dark.

As the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, the moon hanging in the night sky became more and more round, spreading its radiance and stars, and with a cool night wind blowing on his face, Su Xian immediately sobered up more than half of his wine.

He was walking quickly across the camp, rushing to the west side of the camp, where Nangong Kui was stationed, followed by Yan Dashan and Yang Zhilan on the left and right behind him.

In a dungeon hung with all kinds of scary instruments of torture, and with dark red dried blood stains all over the floor, Su Xian met Nangong Kui. He had a cold face and was well-dressed, which made him look eerie and terrifying in this environment.

Opposite Nangong Kui are the Nalan brothers and sisters. Nalan Jie, who is dressed in a neat Confucian shirt, faces Nangong Kui directly, while Nalan Yan, who is embarrassed, hides behind his brother.

Both sides seemed to be arguing about something.

Su Xian came over abruptly, Nangong Kui's stern expression changed, and she bowed to him, "Su Ziyi."

Nalanjie seemed to have seen a savior, but after a moment of excitement, his expression turned gloomy. He bowed to Su Xian and said, "Brother Su, you are here."

Nalanyan snorted secretly, and her tense face relaxed slightly. She would rather get along with Su Xian, a bastard, than stay with a dangerous ice cube like Nangong Kui for a moment longer.

"What are you doing?" Su Xian asked.

"Brother Su, the situation is like this..."

As Nalan Jie explained, Su Xian gradually understood that after they returned to Yingzhou, Nangong Kui took over the detention and interrogation of the Nalan brothers and sisters.

The Nalan brothers and sisters want to continue the treatment they have received along the way, that is, through the tens of thousands of taels of gold, they can get the two brothers and sisters generous treatment, good wine, good food, good living conditions, etc.

But Nangong Kui always had a gloomy face and accepted death. Although he would not use torture on the Nalan brothers and sisters, he would never agree to such excessive demands.

Nalanjie argued with him for a long time, explaining all the truth, but Nangong Kui's face was always gloomy, and the three words were "disagree"!
"Brother Su, look at this..."

Nalanjie hesitated, hoping that Su Xian could deal with Nangong Kui and continue the agreement they made on the road. After all, they spent tens of thousands of taels of gold, which was not a small amount.

However, he also knew that Nangong Kui was the third arrester of the Daliang Prison Department. He was arrogant and might not be able to listen to Su Xian. This was why he was happy when he first met Su Xian, but then his expression turned gloomy.

"Three arrests, I proposed that they spend money to enjoy the meal delivery, and I also ordered people to accept the gold." Su Xian was originally here to handle this matter, and turned to look at Nangong Kui.

"The tens of thousands of taels of gold were not spent much on the road. I have asked them to transfer the remaining gold to the Prison Department. I hope this agreement can continue."

"..."

Su Xian's tone sounded very rude.

Nalanjie's heart was beating wildly, and he thought, would Su Xian be kicked out if he talked to the prison chief's third arrester like this?
Nalanyan also thought of this, hiding behind her brother and winking.

However, the next moment, the Nalan brothers and sisters were shocked to see Nangong Kui, a big ice cube with a gloomy face, nodding to Su Xian and saying, "Okay!"

Su Xian glanced at the Nalan brothers and sisters, and before they could recover from the shock, he looked at Nangong Kui and said, "Third Catcher, I have one more thing to discuss with you. Let's go to the account and discuss it in detail."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Xian turned around and left the dungeon.

Nangong Kui made simple arrangements and followed. After a while, the two sat opposite each other in a tent.

"Three arrests, Qiu Dianjun must have told you about the case." Su Xian said with a smile.

"The case of the Liao princess using a golden sheep-head hairpin to murder the little pavilion leader." Nangong Kui nodded, indicating that he already knew.

"In this case, I hope that the three arresting heads can be convicted and closed as soon as possible without delay."

Su Xian pointed out his intention directly.

Nangong Kui was not a fool. She raised her eyes and looked at Su Xian intently, her eyes burning. There must be something fishy about Su Xian's intervention in this case.

Su Xian smiled and said: "Three arrests, do you still remember that you owe me three things, let this case be considered the first one. I have no other requirements, I just hope that the case will be concluded as soon as possible."

Nangong Kui lowered his eyes, the burning in his eyes disappeared, and nodded: "Please rest assured, Su Chenyi, the case will be concluded within one day."

Su Xian rubbed his hands and smiled and said: "Okay, I'll wait for the good news about the three arrests. Are the three arrests curious about why I intervened in this case?"

Nangong Kui nodded.

Su Xian said:
"Actually, it's nothing. After all, the Nalan brothers and sisters are royal relatives of the Liao Kingdom and have special status. Maybe they will be released back to the Liao Kingdom in two days."

"It is difficult for you and me to interfere in the game between big countries. But the case of the murder of the little cabinet leader must be settled as soon as possible, otherwise His Majesty will pursue the case afterwards, and I am afraid that the princess will be implicated."

Nangong Kui nodded slowly and thought: "It turns out that Su Consultation is for Princess Lanling. That's right. After all, he is an official of the Princess Mansion..."

After leaving Nangong Kui's place and walking across the camp back to his sleeping tent, Su Xian stretched himself, feeling drunk, and yawned and said:

"It's getting late, it's time to rest..."

But at this moment, Qiu Dianjun suddenly appeared outside the sleeping tent and said with a slightly strange expression: "Has Su Council gone to bed? The princess invites you."
