Jie a husband is too arrogant

Chapter 93
Su Jiu explained a few more words to Hu Dapao, then turned back and walked back. Ji Yuxian was leaning against the iron railing, only lowering his eyes to think about something. When he heard footsteps, he raised his head, held Su Jiu's slightly cool hand, and asked said, "How?"

Su Jiu shook her head, "It was indeed Cannon who killed Bai Laosan!"

The knife is in Cannon's hand, no matter whether it was Bai Laosan who bumped into him himself or not, he was indeed the murderer. The Bai family members all watched, and there are all the witnesses and material evidences, the crime of murder cannot be escaped!
In Daliang Law, those who commit murder without reason shall be executed according to the law!

Ji Yuxian's eyes flickered, and he took her hand and walked out, "Let's go out and talk!"

After leaving the dungeon, Ji Yuxian asked, "The last time the security guard had an accident, was it Nangong Shu who came to rescue you?"

Su Jiu nodded, "It's him!"

"How did you know each other? How is your friendship?" Ji Yuxian asked quietly.

Su Jiu looked at him suspiciously, should she ask Nan Gongshu to save Da Pao?
Nangong Shu is an upright person with strict military discipline. Last time his subordinate Mo Zhang made a mistake and he refused to accommodate her. Will he help her save Da Pao?

Cannons really kill people after all!

Su Jiu knew that it was impossible for Nangongshu to help her, but she still gave a rough account of how she met Nangongshu.

Ji Yuxian nodded lightly, stroking her eyebrows, and said with a comforting smile, "I've thought about it, this matter is not a dead end, at least I can save Hu Dapao from capital punishment."

"What can you do?" Su Jiu asked eagerly.

"At this time, there is an opportunity. The Qiang people outside Yanyun Pass in Beimo invaded Youzhou with [-] cavalry. The battle report has entered Beijing yesterday. Beimo is the sideline guarded by the Nangong family. They all know very well that this time they will definitely lead the troops to repel the enemy in person. You go to him now and ask him to bring Hu Dapao with him when he sends troops. I will go to Lin Fuyin now and ask him to be raised to ask questions today, Hu Dapao Killed someone, but after all, it was the Bai family who made trouble first, I will try my best to let Lin Fu Yin sentence Hu Dapao to be sent to the army, and go to Beimo to defend the city with Nan Gongshu to fight against the enemy."

Su Jiu was thinking about Ji Yuxian's words, her eyes gradually cleared up, and she said excitedly, "You want Da Pao to join the army?"

Ji Yuxian nodded, "In this way, Dapao will be spared the death penalty. Secondly, he joined Nangongshu's command. For your sake, he should take care of Dapao. As for whether Hu Dapao is dead or alive on the battlefield, it is a blessing or a curse. , It depends on his own creation!"

"Okay, okay!" Su Jiu nodded again and again, suddenly cheerful in her heart, "I'm going to Nangong Mansion to see Nangong Shu."

This is almost the best way to solve the current deadlock!
"Go, I'll go see Lin Fuyin too!" Ji Yuxian leaned over and kissed Su Jiu's forehead lightly, and said in a low voice, "Don't panic, I will explain the matter in detail when we arrive at Nangong Mansion. This request is not too much. Will agree!"

Su Jiu felt a lot more at ease in her heart. She raised her head and looked at the man with burning eyes, her eyes were clear, "Ji Yuxian, thank you very much!"

Ji Yuxian smiled lightly, "It's my husband's responsibility to relieve my wife's worries."

Su Jiu pursed her lips with a smile, "Then I'll go first!"

After finishing speaking, he turned and walked towards the carriage, Er Mao immediately raised his whip and led Su Jiu away.

Ji Yuxian watched the carriage disappear before walking towards the government office.

When Su Jiu arrived at Nangong Mansion, she begged to see Nan Gongshu. The guard at the gate said that Nangong Shu had entered the palace and was not in the mansion.

Su Jiu was anxious and planned to wait outside the gate of the mansion for Nan Gongshu to come back.

At this time, Nangong Bi was coming back from the outside, and when she saw Su Jiu, she shouted in surprise, "Su Jiu, why are you here?"

Su Jiu turned her head when she heard the sound, and immediately said with a smile, "Miss Nangong!"

Nangong Bi happily said, "I went to the tavern to look for you twice and you were not there. I didn't expect you to be at our door. Do we have a good understanding, and you know I'm looking for you?"

Su Jiu raised her eyebrows, "What do you need from me?"

Nangong Bi shook her head and said coquettishly, "No, I was looking for you to play with! By the way, you really didn't come to look for me, did you?"

"I'm here to find your brother, General Nangong!" Su Jiu said truthfully.

Nangong Bi pursed her lips in disappointment, "I thought you were looking for me, but it turned out that you were looking for my brother. Since you are looking for my brother, what are you doing standing here, go in!"

"The guard said your brother has entered the palace, so I'll wait here!"

Nangong Bixiu raised her eyebrows and snorted coldly, "Did they not let you in? Come, come with me!"

As she spoke, she dragged Su Jiu's clothes and walked towards the gate. When she reached the gate, she paused and said coldly to the guards on the left and right, "See clearly, this is Mr. Su, a good friend of my brother and I. No one is allowed to stop him again! Delicious hospitality, if there is a slight negligence, this lady will break his legs!"

The two guards immediately lowered their heads, "Yes, I obey!"

Nangong Bi raised her eyebrows and smiled, and led Su Jiu into the mansion.Nangong has been a minister for generations, the mansion is solemn and magnificent, and there is also a martial arts training ground. Nangong Bi took Su Jiu around, chatting non-stop all the way. Su Jiu had something on his mind, so he didn't have the heart to watch it. He only hoped that Nangong Shu would come back as soon as possible. .

It took nearly an hour before the guards came to report that Nangong Shu had returned home.

Su Jiu hurriedly greeted them out.

When Nangongshu saw Su Jiu, surprise flashed across his stern face, "Master Su, do you need me?"

Su Jiu nodded, "I do have something to ask General Nangong."

"Let's talk in the flower hall!" Nan Gongshu led Su Jiu into the front hall.

After entering, Su Jiu told the people about Hu Dapao's murder, and hoped that Nangong Shu could take Dapao to Beimo to fight against the enemy.

Nangong Shu smiled lightly, "How does Mr. Su know that I will personally lead the army?"

Su Jiu was stunned, she couldn't tell that it was Ji Yuxian who told her, she rolled her eyes, and immediately said, "General Nangong is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, brave and good at fighting, he will do everything personally, he will naturally lead the army himself, did I guess wrong?"

Nangong Shu's eyebrows were deep, and he said with a light smile, "Young Master Su is much more eloquent than when he first arrived in Shengjing!"

Su Jiu's face was slightly embarrassed, and she said solemnly, "To tell you the truth, General Nangong, Hu Dapao is my brother, who is closer than relatives. This time, he was forced to kill someone at the door, and he lost his hand on impulse. I don't want him to die. , That's why I came to ask the general!"

Nangong Shu nodded lightly, "I have seen Hu Dapao. Although he is rough and tough, he is not a vicious person."

Nangong Bi had been listening from the sidelines, and at this time Fang said, "Brother, since you also said that he is not a vicious person, then help Su Jiu, you have seen how the Bai family is tyrannical, the cannon is still for the people It's over!"

Nangong Shu's eyebrows were like swords, and he pursed his lips into a smile, "I didn't say I wouldn't help!"

Su Jiu's eyes lit up immediately, "You agreed?"

"En!" Nan Gongshu nodded slowly, "I am entering the palace today, and I am indeed asking for orders to lead troops to Beimo. I will gather troops and horses in the afternoon and set off early tomorrow morning. But Hu Dapao is a prisoner in the army, so he can only start as a soldier. I will not take special care of him, swords are like eyes on the battlefield, life and death are but a blink of an eye, do you really want him to join the army with me?"

"Yes!" Su Jiu's voice was firm, "Although Da Pao killed someone for a reason, he killed someone after all. Even if I try my best to keep him alive, he will be exiled or imprisoned in death row forever, instead of living in a dark prison. I think Da Pao is more willing to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy!"

"Okay! If that's the case, I promise you to take Hu Dapao to Beimo and try my best to keep his life safe!" Nan Gongshu promised.

Su Jiu got up, gave Nangong Shu a deep bow, and said gratefully, "General Nangong can bring the cannon to the army, I am already grateful, the general does not need to take care of it, since the cannon is on the battlefield, it is the same as all soldiers, life and death! Whether it is life or death, Da Pao and I have no complaints or regrets!"

Nangong Shu stood up, with clear eyes, nodded with a smile.

Su Jiu thanked again, came out from the General's Mansion, and went straight to the Escort Bureau.

Chang Huan was also waiting in the escort agency when he heard the news.

Qiao An didn't come back to his hometown, and Su Jiu wasn't there. The two of them didn't know what was going on outside, and they were running around in a hurry.

As soon as they saw Su Jiu approaching, the two rushed forward immediately,

"Big boss!"

"Boss!"

Su Jiu said quickly, "The government office will soon ask the case. The bodyguards who were injured by the Bai family yesterday and today will go to the government office to testify against Da Pao if they can get up!"

It proved that the Bai family came to provoke and wounded people with knives, and Hu Dapao was just resisting in self-defense!

Ah Shu looked anxious, "Yes, I'll let them prepare to go together right away, so that the cannon can be cleared of the murder charge?"

Su Jiu shook her head slowly, killing people is killing people, she is just trying to get Lin Fu Yin to convict Da Pao of exile into the army.

"The cannon still has to die?" Ah Shu asked in surprise.

"No, let's try our best to let Mr. Fuyin sentence Da Pao to exile and exile into the army. It happens that Nan Gongshu will lead his troops to Beimo tomorrow. Da Pao joins the army and joins him. Let's go to Beimo together!"

After hearing Su Jiu's words, Ah Shu and Chang Huan were shocked.

Distributed to the army?

This is already a heavy punishment in normal times. Most people who can't stand the long journey and the bitter cold where they are assigned will die on the way.

But this time, it was an opportunity for Da Pao to survive.

After a while, Ah Shu nodded, "Da Pao has always respected General Nangong, he must be happy, but from now on, we brothers will be separated. Can Da Pao come back after going to the battlefield?"

"Don't talk about being discouraged!" Chang Huan gritted his teeth, "Da Pao will definitely come back!" "Now as long as Da Pao can live!" Su Jiu sighed and said, "Let's not talk about this for now, bring people and me Go to the government office!"

"Yes!"

A Shu and Chang Huan responded and went to prepare the carriage.

When they brought the injured bodyguard to the government office, the Bai family also arrived, looking at each other with hatred, wishing to rush up and bite each other to death.

At this time, only the officials in the hall of the government office shouted "mighty", and Lin Fuyin was going to be promoted to question the case.

"Bring the accused!"

"Bring the murderer Hu Dapao!"

The order was passed down one after another, and soon Boss Bai led people into the lobby, Hu Dapao was also brought up with shackles, and Su Jiu and others followed.

The Yacha stopped Su Jiu and the others from entering, "No entry without a pass!"

Su Jiu stood at the door, shouting that she was wronged.

Upon hearing this, Lin Fuyin asked the messenger, "Who is calling for injustice at the door?"

The messenger stepped forward and replied, "It's the family member of the prisoner Hu Dapao, named Su Jiu!"

"Su Jiu?" Fu Yin Lin rolled his eyes, "Let her in quickly!"

"Yes!" The messenger went down to deliver the message.

As soon as Su Jiu brought people into the hall, Lin Fu Yin almost came down to greet him, and said happily as if seeing an old friend, "It turns out that it is really Mr. Su. I haven't seen you for a long time. How have you been?"

All the yamen servants and Master Bo stared blankly at their lords.

Su Jiu said calmly, "My lord, we are the defendants today, let's try the case, Your lord!"

This is the second time they have gone to court, and they are all defendants!
"Oh, oh!" Lin Fuyin nodded again and again, sitting upright behind the court case, and slapped the gavel, "Bai Boss, you said that Hu Dapao killed someone, how and why he killed, let me tell you one by one! "

Boss Bai stepped forward immediately, and told how Su Jiu beat Bai Sanjin yesterday, and how Hu Dapao killed Bai Laoer today, and then mourned a few tears, as if he was really bullied.

Qinglong Escort, as the defendant, naturally also has the right to defend itself. Hu Dapao first confessed to his murder, and then said sonorously and painfully that Bai Sanjin brought people to the door to kill people yesterday, and today Bai Laoer brought people to find fault. Forced to resist, he shot and killed Bai Er Er by mistake.

Ah Shu and several bodyguards testified for Ah Shu one after another. Su Jiu also brought several bodyguards who were injured by the Bai family, all of whom could testify that Hu Dapao was telling the truth.

Although there was a life in this case, it was very simple. There were all witnesses and material evidence. Hu Dapao explained the murder very clearly, so there was no need for investigation at all.

Although Hu Dapao killed someone, the Bai family came to provoke and hurt him first, so he was also partly responsible.In the end, Hu Dapao was sentenced to be dispatched to the army, the Qinglong Bodyguard Bureau compensated the burial expenses of Bai's third son of the Bai family, and the Bai family compensated the bodyguards of the Qinglong Bodyguard Bureau for the expenses of seeing the wounded.

Then let the two companies draw their own bets.

Boss Bai was naturally dissatisfied, knelt on the ground, and said in pain, "My lord, my third brother was mutilated to death, my third sister has been seriously injured and has not yet woken up, my Bai family is almost ruined, Hu Dapao is only sentenced to exile for murder, Qinglong The Escort is unharmed, what is the justice?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was only a plop, and a bodyguard from the Qinglong Bodyguard Bureau who had been hacked to testify fell to the ground, struggled a few times while covering his wound, kicked his legs, and immediately stopped moving.

Everyone was dumbfounded, and the whole hall was silent.

Su Jiu immediately said, "My lord, this bodyguard was injured by Bai Sanjin, and now he died of serious injuries, so it is naturally considered Bai Sanjin's murder. The murderer pays for his life. Do you want to sentence Bai Sanjin to death?"

Boss Bai's eyes widened suddenly, and he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Lin Fuyin patted the gavel, "Young Master Su is right! But now that Bai Sanjin is in a coma, he will not be sent to death row for the time being. In addition, the Qinglong Escort also died, so there is no need to compensate the Bai family for burial. It's too late, the Qinglong Escort Bureau will take him down for burial. This case is over, no further discussion, let's go!"

Lin Fu Yin stood up as he spoke, smiled gently at Su Jiu, and led the master and others out through the side door.

Boss Bai wanted to cry out for injustice, but no one listened any more, and fell to the ground dejectedly.

Without even looking at him, Su Jiu, A Shu and others carried the bodyguard who "died suddenly" out of the lobby.

The bodyguard who was "seriously injured" immediately sat up as soon as he got into the carriage, and said with a smile, "Master Jiu, do you pretend to be a kid?"

Su Jiu smiled and said, "The response is good. What's your name? Is it the bodyguard?"

"Little Feng Quan! He is the third-class bodyguard in the bodyguard bureau!" The man replied seriously.

"From today onwards, you will be promoted to second class, do your best!" Su Jiu said.

Road.

"Yes, thank you Jiuye!"

Sending people to send these injured bodyguards back to the bodyguard bureau, Su Jiu took Ah Shu and Chang Huan to visit Da Pao in the prison.

When the sentence of exile was finally pronounced, Hu Dapao was really relieved, at least he didn't have to die!

After Su Jiu and the others came, they told Nangong Shu to send troops to Mobei tomorrow and asked Hu Dapao to join the army. Hu Dapao jumped up happily and said excitedly,

"I can follow General Nangong!"

A Shu said to Chang Huan, "Look at him killing people and making a surprise, how can there be any reason?"

Hu Dapao ignored Ah Shu's ridicule, and grabbed Su Jiu's wrist, "Master, is what you said true?"

Su Jiu nodded, "It's true! Otherwise, why would you be sentenced to exile. However, the journey to Mobei is far away, and you must suffer a lot when you follow the army in shackles. In addition, when you go to Mobei and go to the battlefield, your sword has no eyes. Be careful yourself!"

"I know, I'm not afraid of hardship!" Hu Dapao said indifferently, and then frowned, "I just want to leave the head of the house and the bodyguard bureau. I don't know when I will come back after this trip. You should also take care of yourself!"

"Don't worry!" Ah Shu patted Hu Dapao's chest, "We are all in Shengjing, we have prepared wine and are waiting for you to come back!"

Hu Dapao's eyes were red, and he nodded heavily, "Okay, I will definitely come back!"

When Su Jiu and the others came out of the prison, it was already dark, outside the government office, Ji's carriage parked quietly across the street.

"A Shu's bodyguard bureau, Chang Huan returns to the restaurant, and tomorrow morning, we will go out of the city to see Da Pao off!" Su Jiu confessed.

The two agreed, although Hu Dapao didn't have to die, but when he thought of the separation tomorrow, his heart felt indescribably heavy.

It seems that since entering Shengjing, the separation between them has become more and more!

So far, there is no other way.

After the two left, Su Jiu also walked towards Ji's carriage.

As soon as she got into the carriage, the warm fragrance filled her, and half of Su Jiu's exhaustion disappeared.

Ji Yuxian hugged her into his arms, poured tea on Su Jiu's dry lips, and said softly, "The matter is over, don't worry anymore!"

Su Jiu closed her eyes and leaned against Ji Yuxian's arms, feeling extremely relaxed and at ease. No matter what happened outside, she had to support and solve it. Only in this world, she could lie in his arms unscrupulously. It's easy and fun.

She felt that she didn't want to leave this man more and more!
She resisted this kind of change, and enjoyed this feeling extremely, indulged in it, and fell into it again and again.

Ji Yuxian didn't know what was going on in the girl's mind, he only thought that she was tired, so he caressed her brows and eyes with his fingers, bowed his head and kissed her forehead, and hugged her tightly in his arms.

The carriage drove slowly on the long street, the horse's hooves clattered on the bluestone slabs, and with the silence of the spring night, it gradually moved forward.

It was night, in Lianbo Garden, after the third watch, the man walked into Xie Ying's bedroom on time.

With last night, the two of them are like fish in water this night, dripping and enjoying themselves, and they will only rest when the sky is about to dawn.

The woman fell asleep with spring on her lips, and the man got up, dressed and left.

A night of spring dreams without a trace.

Before dawn, Su Jiu had already woken up, and left the Ji Mansion to send the cannon outside the city gate to accompany the army to Beimo.

At the time of Mao, Nan Gongshu ordered soldiers on the city gate, and there were hundreds of thousands of troops standing under the city gate, full of vigor and majesty, like a dark tide spreading under the city gate, with rustling banners, majestic and majestic.

Nan Gongshu was dressed in a black robe and silver armor. In the faint morning light, his facial features were deep and his bones were strong.

"Drive out the barbarians, protect our great beams and thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and allow no foreign enemies to trample on them. Anyone who invades will be punished!"

All the armies under the city drink together, swallowing mountains and rivers with anger,
"kill!"

"kill!"

In the darkness before dawn, the army stood in front of the city gate like a majestic beast, defending the people of Daliang and the capital. The mighty soldiers standing in the center of the army looked so small, like a drop in the ocean, but they stood there again. Together, they form a mighty, inviolable force.

In a country, strong soldiers and horses are an important feature of a prosperous and prosperous age. Only when the soldiers and horses are strong, foreign enemies dare not attack, the people can be safe, and the country can last forever!

Su Jiu and the others listened to the shocking shouts of killing at the gate of the city, and felt their blood boil, wishing they could follow along to kill the enemy.

The eunuchs and ministers sent by the palace recited the imperial decree, named Nangong Shu as the chief general, gave tiger charms, and enjoyed wine!

After Nangong thanked you,

After receiving the imperial decree and the tiger talisman, he picked up the wine bowl with one hand, threw it with his head up, threw the wine bowl to the ground forcefully, then jumped down towards the gate of the city, sat down on the horse and neighed with his head up, and rushed out like a thunderbolt.

The [-] troops lined up on both sides, and waited for Nangong Shuqi to rush over before they came to the door one after another. Like a tsunami, they followed behind him and roared away.

It would take at least an hour for the [-] troops to leave the city gate. Hu Dapao followed at the end, and Su Jiu and the others happened to go up to see them off.

Chang Huan specially brought wine and meat to fill Da Pao on the road!

Several people circled the city and sat on the ground, just like sitting and eating together in Yuhu Mountain before.

Hu Dapao chewed on the meat, and said with a smile, "There is wine and meat, why is it like a death row prisoner seeing off before leaving?"

"You damn nonsense, eat enough, go to the battlefield and kill a few more enemies!" Ashu laughed foolishly.

"Well, I will definitely kill all those barbarians!"

Hu Dapao took a sip of his wine and said solemnly, "I'm not afraid at all of going to the battlefield, but I just don't want to be separated from you, and Mr. An is not here. I wonder if I will see you again in this life?"

"You fucking don't pretend to be timid, if you dare not come back," Ah Shu's voice suddenly choked up, and he slapped the shackles on Cannon's neck forcefully, "I will definitely go to the battlefield to beat you!"

Hu Dapao chuckled, "Tell Mr. An for me to drink again when he comes back. I hope he can go to high school! Also, after I leave, you take care of the big boss, the escort agency and the restaurant. Don't be reckless like me. stir up trouble!"

Chang Huan hollowed out the middle of a cake and put it directly on his head, "Don't worry!"

Su Jiu smiled, "Don't be afraid of causing trouble, at worst, we will all be exiled to the army, and we will go to the battlefield to kill the enemy together!"

Everyone grinned and laughed, dispelling the faint sorrow.

After eating and drinking enough, Hu Dapao turned his head and saw that the last troops of the army had already set off. He got up and said, "Everyone, take care, don't worry about it, Dapao will definitely come back alive!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Su Jiu and the others to say goodbye, he turned his head and left, striding behind the long line, his tall and straight back trembling slightly in the morning mist.

Su Jiu, Ah Shu, Chang Huan and the three stood up, no one spoke, they just watched silently the figure of Hu Dapao in shackles following at the end of the army, gradually drifting away, and finally turned into a blurred shadow and merged into the army, which could no longer be seen clearly up!

The sun gradually rose, and the morning light was thousands of miles away. The brigade walking on the official road had turned into a winding black line. There were more pedestrians entering the city, carrying burdens and pushing wooden carts, and the official road gradually became lively.

Su Jiu and the others turned back to the city.

On the second day after Hu Dapao left, Qiao An returned to Shengjing.

The four of them sat together for dinner at night, and when they talked about this matter, Joan sighed softly, with worries about the cannon hidden in his brows.

Then he comforted himself and said, "Da Pao has always admired General Nangong, and this time he was able to follow the general to join the army and kill the enemy. It's a wish. We should be happy for him!"

"Yes! Happy!" Ah Shu picked up the wine cup and took a big sip.

Speaking of the Bai family, he couldn't help feeling resentful again, Chang Huan said, "I've inquired, Bai Sanjin hasn't woken up yet, Boss Bai is also angry and sick, and now the military officers of the Bai family are in a mess!"

"One day when I get angry, I will come to pick their martial arts school, so that they will no longer have a foothold in Shengjing!" A Shu said bitterly.

Who would have thought that from the day they ate in the tavern on Xieyang Street, they would have formed an indissoluble bond with the Bai family.

A lot of things start from humble beginnings, and they always have to go through a vigorous experience to end.

After talking about the Bai family, Qiao An said, "Is there anything going on in the restaurant these days?"

Su Jiu said with a smile, "It's okay, Chang Huan has been watching here all the time, Chang Huan can read the account book now!"

"Really?" Qiao An smiled comfortingly, nodded and said hello again and again.

"There are five days left for the scientific examination. Mr. An doesn't need to take care of the affairs of the restaurant anymore. I bought another yard with a clean surrounding, just for you to study!" Su Jiu said.

Qiao An felt warm in his heart, knowing that he and Su Jiu didn't need to say words of gratitude, so he just nodded heavily, "Okay!"

In the early morning of the next day, Su Jiu took Qiao An to look at the yard. There are two entrances. There is a fish pond in the backyard, a rockery gazebo, and a few pear trees in the yard. They are in full bloom. With the breeze sweeping away, the falling leaves are colorful and fragrant. People, although they are not as magnificent as the mansion gate compound, but they have a quiet and elegant beauty, which is suitable for a scholar like Qiao An.

"I've inquired about it, and there are some nobles' gardens in the city around them. There are not many people living there, so they are very clean." Su Jiu stood in the pavilion, turned her head and smiled.

Qiao An stepped forward and stood side by side with Su Jiu, looked at the clusters of pears, and said in a low voice, "Master Jiu, if it weren't for you, I might have died without knowing where I was being fed by wild wolves, your great kindness , I only say a word of gratitude once, and I will never forget it in this life!"

Su Jiu turned her head and smiled brightly, "I wish Mrs. Anya high school!"

Qiao An nodded solemnly, "I will definitely live up to Master Jiu's expectations!"

The five days passed in a blink of an eye, and on the ninth day of February, students from all over the world entered the Tribute Academy one after another for three rounds of nine-day general examinations.

Su Jiu and Ashu Changhuan came to send Qiao An into the examination room together.

Qiao An waved goodbye to the three of them with a grain bag on his back, and entered the Gongyuan after being searched by the guards outside the gate.

During these nine days, everyone who took part in the scientific examination ate, drank, and ate in a single room. Day and night were reversed, black and white were indistinguishable, and when they came out, they were dead, crazy, or whatever.

Even when Qiao An came out, his face was pale, his hair was disheveled, and he was in a mess, but he was in good spirits. Seeing Su Jiu and the others smiled slowly.

Su Jiusan and the others didn't ask him how he wrote the answer sheet, they took Qiao An home, let him take a bath and changed clothes, and prepared wine and food to calm him down.

It was indeed shocking. I have seen and experienced in this closed nine days, and I am afraid that what I have experienced is similar to what I have experienced in this lifetime.

On the day when the rankings were released, Shengjing was crowded with people, crowded and noisy, and there were many people crying or laughing on the street, and people were not surprised.

Chang Huan and Su Jiu huddled in the crowd, looking for Qiao An's name.

There is almost no need to look for it, No. 3 on the list says, Qiao An, Leling, Xuzhou.

No.3 in Yijia, Su Jiu and Chang Huan were so overjoyed that they almost rushed all the way into Qiao An's yard to announce the good news to him.

No matter how calm Qiao An was, he couldn't help showing excitement at this moment. The three of them were happy when Dashu rushed in and shouted, "Master An has won! He has won!"

The crowd laughed in unison!

At this time, the Ji Mansion was also full of celebrations, and there was an endless stream of congratulators.

The second son of the Ji family, Jize, is No.1 in the exam and will be the first in high school!

The second wife was happy to worship Buddha and ancestors, crying and laughing for a while, almost crazy with joy!
Jize was very calm, greeted a few waves of elders in the family, and went back to his room to read a book.

Ji Yuxian socialized for a while, let Yu Lao stay, and went back to the main courtyard alone.

He knew that Qiao An was also on the list, and he was in the top three of the first class. Su Jiu would definitely celebrate for Qiao An today. He would not come back for dinner at night, and maybe he would come back drunk. Ji Yuxian frowned and ordered The nurse made hangover soup and prepared it.

When Su Jiu returned home at night, he was indeed smelled of alcohol. The nanny brought Su Jiu the hangover soup and said in a low voice, "Miss, last night our Dongxue in Xifengyuan fell into the lake and drowned. It was only discovered this morning. Mr. Yu took someone to check it out, and said that Dongxue went out to take a pee and slipped into the lotus lake at night. He probably choked his throat, so he didn't even shout! There was no one in Dongxue's family. It was a death contract signed, so Mr. Yu had someone prepare a thin coffin and carried it out of the city to be buried in a random grave!"

Su Jiu held the hangover soup in his hand, and narrowed his eyes slowly, Dongxue?In the middle of the night Xiaojie fell into the water and died?

The nanny continued, "There is one more thing. The son of Qin Nanny's family who was in the washhouse two days ago suddenly became rich. The clothes were hidden in the bag, and there was a strong wind on the way. Her feet were unsteady and she fell to the ground. She fainted. The clothes in the bag were scattered and scraped on her face, and she was suffocated to death. Do you think this is strange? ?”

But Su Jiu was suspicious when she heard it. Dongxue, Mother Qin... one was from Qifengyuan, the other was from Huanxiyuan.

She suddenly remembered that on the day Qifengyuan was on fire, the maid in Huanxiyuan once brought her a cloak, vaguely saying that Mother Qin had asked her to bring it.

Could it be that the fire in Qifengyuan had something to do with Dongxue and Mother Qin?
Ji Yuxian said that he would avenge her, but he has already acted?

Dong Xue and Nanny Qin are in two places in the mansion, and they don't have much contact with each other at ordinary times, how can they plan to harm her?There must be someone instigating behind the scenes, who is behind the scenes?
Did Ji Yuxian already know the people behind the scenes to prevent her from doing it?
Su Jiu guessed wildly, originally wanted to ask Ji Yuxian, but after thinking about it for a while, she couldn't hold back. Since Ji Yuxian won't let her intervene, then she will continue to act as if she doesn't know anything.

After the general examination comes the palace examination. Qiao An gets up in the morning and goes to the capital to face the saint, and leaves the palace at dusk. .

After coming out, Chang Huan was more excited than Qiao An, and kept asking what the palace was like, what the emperor looked like, and whether he was fierce or not?

Joan smiled and answered him one by one.

Qiao An announced the list three days later, and Qiao An was still No.3, winning the No. [-] prize!
Zhuangyuanlang is the second son of Jifu!
Among the top three of this year's No. [-] Scholar, No. [-], and Tanhua, except for No. [-], Jize and Qiao An are still young. The emperor is very happy, and he is delighted that Liang Guo's talents are young and promising. He specially bestows the three of them to parade through the streets together to inspire the world , also rushing to the recent downturn due to the war
During the parade, the three of them wore black gauze hats with golden flowers and wings, and big red robes, and they rode horses with golden saddles and red manes.
On this day, all the streets in Shengjing were empty, and the streets were crowded with people. Men, women, old and children all came out to watch the fun, and spontaneously beat gongs and drums to celebrate the three of them!

Su Jiu, Changhuan, and Ah Shu squeezed into the crowd, looking forward with her head.

The sound of gongs and drums was getting closer, and one could already see the officials wearing red clothes leading the way in front, holding a big sign saying "Quiet", and Jize behind was the first one, riding on a high horse, handsome and handsome.

Thirty feet away, the second place behind him is a man in his forties, with a beard and a proud face.

Qiao An is at the back of the list. Qiao An's appearance is Zhou Zhengjunya, and today he is more energetic, with a modest smile and approachable approach.

"Look, Master An! Master An!" Ah Shu jumped up excitedly and shouted loudly.

Reflecting the sun, Su Jiu's eyes were also full of excited smiles, as happy as if she got what she wanted.

"It would be great if the cannon was here!" Chang Huan suddenly frowned with a smile.

Now the cannon has been gone for almost a month, and I don't know what happened?

Su Jiu went to Nangong Mansion to inquire about it once, and only said that Nangongshu had arrived in the city with the soldiers and horses, and only said that there was no other news.

The smile on Ah Shu's face froze, and he raised his hand to pat Chang Huan on the shoulder, "Be happy on this day of great joy, and don't upset the boss!"

Chang Huan quickly glanced at Su Jiu, and immediately grinned and said, "Yes, today is Grandpa An's big day, and it's also a big day for our Fulong Gang, so we should be happy!"

After saying that, he immediately jumped up again, waving at Joan.

Joan naturally saw the three of them, and turned back with a deep smile.

Three days later, there will be an entrance examination banquet, and the emperor will set up an entrance examination banquet in the palace to specially invite these new scholars.

It happened to be the Empress Dowager's birthday on that day, so a banquet was held in front of the palace and in the back palace to celebrate.

The day before the enthronement banquet, the concubine in the palace went to greet the empress dowager and sat chatting together.

The empress is the mother of the eldest prince Yuwang, and below are seated the second prince Zhaowang's mother Xianguifei, the third prince Ruiwang's mother Rongguifei, and other favored women in the palace.

Empress Dowager Xiao was wearing a purple tang color embroidered Six Happiness armrest pattern, the neckline and cuffs were rolled with auspicious cloud patterns with gold thread, her hair was half white, and she wore a gold-encrusted jade phoenix hairpin.

Concubine Xian's phoenix eyes are bright and beautiful, and she is well maintained. She can't tell that she is forty years old at all, and she smiles, "Congratulate the Queen Mother first. Today, the concubine has to catch up with the first one, so that tomorrow there will be too many people. Forget it and put it aside!"

The queen next to her was holding tea and secretly glanced at Concubine Xian, showing disdain for Concubine Xian's exquisite appearance, she lowered her eyebrows and drank tea.

Empress Dowager Xiao smiled gently, "If you make such a fuss, Aijia forgets that no one can forget you!"

Several concubines sitting below echoed and laughed.

"Yesterday, the emperor told the concubine to come to you to ask An Shao to talk, so as not to disturb the queen mother to rest. The concubine also said that the queen mother likes to be lively, but I didn't expect to be rejected. The concubine is so sad!" Mouth made sad.

All the other concubines laughed, but the queen's hand holding the teacup was slightly pale. The emperor had eaten in her palace yesterday, and after the meal he said he would go to the imperial study to review the memorials.
"Look! The Ai family didn't say anything, so why did they dislike her?" Empress Dowager Xiao shook her head and laughed.

"The imperial concubine is obviously acting like a baby with you, the queen mother!" Yu Zhaoyi smiled softly.

Concubine Rong brought the tea at this time, handed it to Empress Dowager Xiao with both hands, and said softly, "Empress Dowager, it has been raining and humid recently, you didn't sleep well last night, this concubine specially added some red sage root to the tea today, try it!"

Concubine Rong's face was clear and beautiful, her temperament was gentle and serene, as soon as she opened her mouth, it seemed that the entire impetuous Funing Palace fell silent.

"Okay! Ai's family didn't sleep well last night, and you stayed with Ai's family for half the night. Didn't I let you have a good rest today?"

"I won't be able to sleep even if I go back, so why not come and serve the Queen Mother." Concubine Rong said with a dignified smile.

"Good boy!" Empress Dowager Xiao looked at Concubine Rong's eyes becoming softer, took a sip from the tea cup, nodded lightly, and asked, "Where is Lie'er? Why haven't you seen him for the past two days?"

"Yesterday, Lie'er entered the palace to pay her respects. She was supposed to come to Funing Palace, but she was called to the Imperial Study by the emperor on the way, probably because she had something to explain." Concubine Rong said flatly.

Empress Dowager Xiao smiled gratifiedly, "Lie'er is intelligent, his father likes him, and it would be a good thing to let him practice more!"

Concubine Rong nodded, "Yes, this concubine thinks so too!"
