Your Majesty, Madam, she is not a human being

Chapter 36 West City Investigation
After Huo Qingluan and Song Jiyang had breakfast, Song Jiyang looked at the drawing paper on the table and frowned.

"What's wrong?" Huo Qingluan picked up the drawing paper and looked at it, then put it back to its original position.

Song Jiyang shook his head and said with a slightly solemn tone, "The official errands on West Street have increased four times compared to last night. Under such circumstances, it is easy to cause riots."

Huo Qingluan nodded in agreement, but... "Even so, does this have anything to do with us?"

Song Jiyang raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but shake his head: "Of course it has nothing to do with us. But... our Majesty is going to be worried."

"You are right." Huo Qingluan felt heavy as he thought of the dozen women who had just left this morning.

Whether they can escape the clutches of the devil really depends on whether their lives are tough enough.

"Don't worry. The queen's hands are not that long yet." Song Jiyang gently stroked her hair and comforted her.

Huo Qingluan raised his head and glared at him with resentment: "If you touch it again, you'll be bald."

Song Jiyang was slightly startled, then burst into laughter.

……

When Emperor Song received the news, it was the end of the morning dynasty.

In the Jinluan Hall, hundreds of civil and military officials lined up on both sides. Emperor Song sat on the throne, his face clouded.The ministers all lowered their heads, not even daring to take a breath.

"What? Should I ask you questions one by one?" After a moment, he slapped the imperial case in front of him and roared angrily, making the ministers tremble in fright, "Are they all mute?"

Everyone was silent, not daring to speak.

"Call me the governor of Zhongdu and the captain of the garrison! Let's see what they want to do?" After Emperor Song roared angrily, he turned his anger towards the two ministers standing on the left side.

In fact, without Emperor Song's orders, the governor of Zhongdu and the garrison captain were already guarding the palace.

Just because both of them are fifth-grade officials, they are not allowed to enter without an edict.

Only then did he see Emperor Song's face for a long time.

Upon hearing the call, the two of them rushed to the Jinluan Palace.

The two of them walked to the royal platform and knelt down to salute.

"Long live my emperor, long live the emperor."

"Get back on your feet." Emperor Song said coldly, and then pointed to the chair in the middle, "You two tell me clearly, what happened? Why did you mobilize officials to go to the West Market, there are still so many people, what is your intention? ?”

The governor of Zhongdu and the garrison captain looked at each other, bowed their heads and answered.

"I am informing my emperor that it is not that I want to mobilize troops, but that there is an emergency in the West City." Fu Yin explained the reason respectfully, and then explained, "Yesterday, several thieves suddenly appeared at the Taibao's house in the West City. They not only robbed property, but also They even killed many guards in the Taibao Mansion. In order to maintain public order and capture prisoners, Wei Chen ordered the mobilization of officers and soldiers to arrest the thieves. As for why there was an emergency in the West City, Wei Chen just received the news last night. The details The reason is currently unknown.”

"Oh? There is such a thing?" Emperor Song was very surprised, "Then you quickly send someone to find out the reason."

"According to the order."

……

When Huo Qingluan and Song Jiyang returned to the house, the official was preparing to inspect the yard.

I saw Song Jiyang and Huo Qingluan walking out of the car.

The leading official bowed to Song Jiyang with his fists clasped in his hands: "See the regent, I am being ordered to investigate the matter of the Taibao. I wonder what you are here for?"

Song Jiyang glanced at him indifferently, "This house belongs to me. No matter what mission you have, you'd better get rid of it immediately. Otherwise, I will definitely hold you accountable."

The leading officer was stunned. The order they received when they arrived was to conduct a thorough search of the entire West City.If one part is missed, the consequences will be disastrous, so it cannot be removed under any circumstances.

"This..." The official looked at Song Jiyang in embarrassment.Song Jiyang narrowed his eyes and stared at him dangerously, "Is it possible that you don't understand what I'm saying?"

The officer's forehead was sweating. He naturally understood it, but he didn't dare to disobey the order.

Seeing his hesitation, Huo Qingluan suddenly stepped forward, stretched out his arm to hold Song Jiyang's arm, and said delicately: "Your Majesty, these people are court officials, how can they make decisions without authorization and refuse to investigate? Besides, we are good citizens. You haven’t done anything bad at all, so why are you afraid of them investigating?”

The officer's mouth twitched, who is this woman?
Does she think he has a long life?
Go check the Regent's house. Even if he has dozens of lives, it won't be enough to compensate him.

"Luan'er is right. If you insist on investigating, I will never stop you. But I have mysophobia. If this place gets dirty, I'm afraid..." Although he tried his best to control his temper, the words "I have mysophobia" "But it spread to the ears of every official.

Suddenly, the faces of all the officials changed, and they all showed expressions of fear.

The leading officer quickly waved his hand and ordered his subordinates: "Everyone, stand down!"

"Yes!" The officials received the order and evacuated the house one after another.

The chief officer looked at Song Jiyang and cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I will take my leave first."

"Wait a minute." Song Jiyang called him, looked into his eyes, and said slowly: "You should know that I don't have much patience. If you don't check today, you won't have the chance to check in a few days."

"Yes. I understand." The chief official nodded, turned and left.

After all the officials left, Song Jiyang took Huo Qingluan and walked directly into the courtyard.

"You really acted like one." Song Jiyang smiled and glanced at her playfully.

"I'm going to change clothes. Go back to your regent's palace." Ignoring his teasing, she opened the door and went into the house to change clothes.

Song Jiyang touched the tip of his nose, turned around and walked out, "I will leave now. After you change your clothes, remember to find me at the Prince Regent's Mansion. I will be waiting for you at the Prince's Mansion."

"I know." Huo Qingluan's lazy voice sounded.

Song Jiyang smiled and left immediately.

……

"Brother Lin, why don't we really check that courtyard?" On a road in the West City, an official asked the official walking at the front hesitantly, "If you let the adults know that we haven't finished checking, I'm afraid... …”

The official known as Brother Lin stopped, turned around and glared at him fiercely, scolding: "Are you stupid? That yard belongs to the Regent. Do you dare to check?"

The official trembled with fright, "But...but the regent shouldn't live there."

Brother Lin rolled his eyes, "How do I know? Regardless of whether you live or not, we don't have the right to investigate. It's better to just run your own errands. In addition, don't talk nonsense, just tell the truth that the investigation is over. If you get into trouble, It’s definitely us people who suffer, you know?”

"Yes, yes, thank you, Brother Lin, for reminding me. I will remember it." The official nodded hurriedly.

Brother Lin sighed, shook his head and moved on.

"Brother Lin, who is that girl just now? Why does the regent love her so much?"

"I don't know her...and I can't see her face clearly. She must be some beauty that the regent keeps in the mansion."

The official almost nodded, "I also think that the relationship between the two seems to be extremely close. It's just that the rumors say that the regent doesn't like anyone. It seems that the rumors are false."

"Who says it's not? Can such words be said nonsense?" Brother Lin raised his hand and hit him on the head, "Go to work quickly. Don't think nonsense."

"Oh, Brother Lin hurts me so much."

Brother Lin snorted, quickened his pace and left.
