Chapter 36
Chapter 36
Xie Linxi stayed with Qi Jingyuan in the palace for three days, and they didn't even leave the palace for these three days.
Outside, rumors about what happened on the Empress Dowager's birthday were widely circulated. It was probably because there were too many refugees outside the city. Officials didn't often go outside the city, so they couldn't get in touch with these people. Ordinary people could see the lives of those refugees.
These scenes are easy for ordinary people to substitute themselves. If one day they are reduced to such a situation, what will their lives be like?This is still in the capital, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, how many bones are unknown in places farther from the capital.
But the household department obviously has money, but all the money was used to build the Shenglin Terrace for the Queen Mother.
If you don't repair the Holy Lin Tower, then the silver can be used where it should be used...
There are some things that cannot be associated, and the more you associate, the more unbalanced you feel.
The Queen Mother is superior, but now an actor dares to criticize her.She is powerful and powerful, and is the most valuable woman in the world, but she can't stop everyone's mouths in the world.
The queen mother's reputation was greatly affected, and even the He family who gave porridge to refugees was implicated.
Some people said that He Yun was a hypocrite. Knowing that the Queen Mother spent so much money, the He family hypocritically took out a little money to give away the porridge.If the He family is really sincere, they should use the amount for the construction of Shenglin Tower, this is the best way.
As for whether the He family has such a large family business, they don't care.
At this time, in the eyes of some people, not even a house in the He family should exist.A house is sold, and I don't know how much money I can exchange for it.
He Yun has always been an upright official, and he has offended many people over the years. Naturally, someone fished in troubled waters in this incident.
On the day Xie Linxi left the palace, some people gathered in front of He Guogong's mansion, saying that they wanted He Guogong to give justice to the disaster victims outside.
Xie Linxi looked at them coldly.
Honest and selfless people always seem to be vulnerable.
He Yun was like this, and so was Qi Jingyuan.
He Yun was injured at the border, and he was a fair official, but when these people were provoked a little, they forgot his contribution, and only thought he was a disgusting person.
Not to mention Qi Jingyuan, no matter what he did, some people would be suspicious.
It's nothing more than that they are fair enough, their character is upright enough, and they do a lot of things for the public rather than for selfishness.It's just that the more this is the case, the harsher this world is to them.
It is often said that no one is perfect, but some people wish they were perfect.
If some courtiers did the same thing, they would carry this person behind their backs. If Qi Jingyuan did it, it would be heinous.It's as if his face says that I have ulterior motives and that I'm a bad person.Thinking of this, Xie Linxi's face turned cold.
Back when they were just monarchs and ministers, he was thinking that it would be great if Qi Jingyuan could think more about himself.At least live happily and comfortably. Now that Qi Jingyuan has changed, he is happy in his heart, but feels more distressed about his situation.
Seeing the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but think that He Yun's today is Qi Jingyuan's past.
Thinking of this, Xie Linxi lowered his eyes slightly, then he walked slowly towards the crowd and said, "The Heavenly Prison Division handles the case."
A light and fluffy sentence, because of the word "Tian Ji Si", instantly silenced the noisy crowd.Someone's legs went limp suddenly and fell to the ground.
Most of the people around here are afraid of the Heavenly Prisoner, thinking that there is a gloomy hell, and if they enter, they will be punished by the [-]th floor of hell, such as pulling out their tongues and digging out their eyes and so on.
So now that the people from the Prison Division came, they immediately wanted to avoid it.
But looking at this romantic and noble man in front of them, they didn't leave.Some bold ones stepped forward and said, "Are you from the Heavenly Prisoner?"
Xie Linxi raised her eyebrows and glanced at him, but said nothing.
The man became more courageous, cupped his hands and said, "We don't have any other purpose to gather here, just to let the Duke give an explanation to the disaster victims outside the city."
"What explanation do you want?" Xie Linxi said in a flat tone: "In what capacity do you want to ask He Guogong for an explanation? The family of the deceased? Jing Zhaoyin? The Ministry of Punishment? Dali Temple? Heavenly Prison Division? The Emperor?"
The person who spoke became more cautious as he questioned, and he said, "We just heard that..."
"I heard? There is no evidence. Are you chasing rumors? Or do you want to charge He Guogong with unnecessary charges?" Xie Linxi sneered and said: "Who gave you the courage, He Guogong killed the enemy at the border back then You were still breastfeeding when you were here. Now tell me, who sent you here."
"there is no one……"
"No one, you are lying to ghosts." Xie Linxi did not say this sentence.
It was He Shan who came out of He Guogong's mansion. He stood there, with the air of a nobleman in the capital, and said: "You have no official documents, and you are not officials. No one is behind you to encourage you. How dare you come here to make trouble?"
"What Mr. He said is, how about I bring these troublemakers to the prison department for interrogation." Xie Linxi said coolly.
There was cold sweat on the forehead of the person who walked out, and the rest wanted to take the opportunity to slip away. He hurriedly said: "No, we just heard from other people that He Guogong will seek justice for the victims, so we discussed to come together, thinking about people." There is so much power. We believe in He Guogong, so we will leave right now and not disturb your lord's handling of the case."
After saying this, he turned around and slipped away, and the rest of the people scattered in all directions.
The cleanliness of the past was restored in front of the door, He Shan looked at Xie Linxi and said solemnly: "Thank you, Commander, for making the rescue."
Xie Linxi said: "Young Master He is polite." He passed by here by accident, if he hadn't thought of Qi Jingyuan's situation, he would not have said a word for the He family at all.
But He Shan didn't know about this, and this didn't prevent Xie Linxi from receiving this thank you.
He Shan said politely: "Commander Xie, come to the house and have a cup of hot tea." Originally, as soon as the incident happened, he wanted to run out and scold the people in front of the door, but He Yun didn't agree with him to come forward, saying that it could not be done. Things are going to go from bad to worse.
He Shan knew that he was taking care of the queen mother and little emperor in the palace, but it felt really aggrieved.
Fortunately, when he couldn't help coming, he just heard Xie Linxi's questioning voice.Those words really touched his heart, and now he felt as comfortable as if he had taken a hot bath in the cold weather.
Xie Linxi didn't want to get too involved with the He family at all, he said politely: "I still have business to do, next time. I have an idea for these people, that Ziyi has a very good reputation in the capital, so make friends with him There are plenty of people out there, and there must be some who are not afraid of power. Why don't you follow this clue, Mr. He?"
He Shan nodded and thanked him after hearing this.He knew that the relationship between the two parties was complicated, and it was not easy to do much to persuade him to stay, so he said that next time he would definitely go to He Guogong's mansion for tea, and then watched him leave.
Xie Linxi walked naturally, and it was not without other plans for him to do this.
Now Qi Jingyuan is plotting other things, but he still respected He Yun in the past.Although Xie Linxi has never been involved in these matters, but in the eyes of others, it must be Qi Jingyuan's intention to rescue the He family today.
On the other hand, it will also make people feel relieved, at least they will feel that Qi Jingyuan treats He Yun the same, and it certainly has no other meaning to the current situation.
Although a lie is something that can be broken at the first poke, it can last for as long as it lasts, and only the person involved understands the specific situation.
As for talking too much to point the way for He Shan, the He family will pay more attention to these matters in the future, and will pay less attention to him and Qi Jingyuan.
Killing two birds with one stone, if you don't do it, you will be sorry for yourself.
Xie Linxi was in a good mood all the way, and the good mood lasted until he went to see Song An.
He suppressed all his emotions, at least on the surface, he was no different from the cold-hearted Xie Linxi in the past.
Song An doesn't have a house in the capital, so he lives here with Qin Nian.
Qin Nian has several houses in the capital. This is a three-entry house. It is not very big compared to those high-ranking officials, but it is definitely enough.
Qin Nian did not live here, without a master, Song An lived quite calmly.
When Xie Linxi arrived, Song An was playing with the birds.
Seeing Xie Linxi, he said with joy on his face: "Brother Xie, but is there a letter from the lord asking me to go back to Jinzhou?" He is a hard worker, he can't enjoy the luxury and luxury of the capital, and he always thinks about the broken land of Jinzhou in his heart.
That was the place he supported with one hand, and there are still many problems, but he still wants to manage it well and make it his own pride.
Xie Linxi said angrily: "What are you thinking? You don't want to leave the capital until the Zuo family's affairs are investigated clearly."
"How long will it take? Didn't I tell you everything?" Song An said a little unhappy: "People were killed in Jinzhou, but it has nothing to do with me."
"No matter what, the new year must be over." Xie Linxi ignored his complaints and said directly: "According to calculations, it's only a few days, and when the seal is sealed, it will pass in the blink of an eye."
Song An rolled his eyes and said, "It's easy for you to say."
His wife and son are both in Jinzhou, so spending the New Year in this capital alone is nothing, without even a warm pillow.
Xie Linxi knew what he was thinking just by looking at his expression.
Xie Linxi felt a little proud in his heart, he thought to himself, he has someone to accompany him this year, he doesn't lack any things like warm tents and pillows.
Perhaps because of this, his mood improved a lot, and Song An was particularly pleasing to the eye.
Being able to be with the person you like, feeling happy with each other, and seeing other people can't help but feel more sympathy, this is the eternal truth.
When Xie Linxi thought of Qi Jingyuan, his heart became sweet, and he said: "Don't complain, I came today on the order of the prince, and asked you if there is anything suspicious about the extermination of the Zuo family."
"You have also seen the current situation in the capital. There are some things that the prince is inconvenient to ask." Xie Linxi said softly. If you ask too many questions, other people's attention will be on Song An.
If you keep your eyes on it for a long time, maybe something will happen.
So it's best not to ask, now that there is something about the queen mother to divert attention, Xie Linxi took the opportunity to come to see Song An.
When people die, especially when so many people die, there will always be some clues left behind.
Song An was also aware of Qi Jingyuan's situation, and he was very indignant.
In Song An's eyes, Qi Jingyuan, the regent, has already done a good job, and some people are still dissatisfied, and they don't know what those people are thinking every day, are they just pretending to be grass.
Words of indignation cannot be said in the boundary of the capital, because the walls have ears.
Song An asked Xie Linxi to sit down and drink tea, and then took the opportunity of tasting tea, he whispered: "There is nothing else, the incident happened suddenly, when I returned to Beijing, the prince asked me to pay more attention to the corpse. I went to take a look, Those corpses with missing arms and legs should be missing half a child."
