After dressing as a sick and weak villain

Chapter 13 Evidence

He didn't see any similar figure until he walked to the living room opposite the bedroom of Chuxie.

That person has no skill, so he must not be a guard.Could it be that he was just a handyman, staying in a courtyard that he couldn't see.

What was even more frustrating was that Jiang Yanchi realized that he couldn't remember the figure of that person last night.

The height, outline, and eyes... are all blurred.

I only vaguely remember the slender and fair neck and the deep collarbone.

Just as he was thinking about it, the steward said: "Lord Chu is awake, I heard that His Highness is here and is ordering people to prepare breakfast."

"My lord, why do you only wake up at three o'clock today?"

"Yesterday at Yinshi, an urgent letter was delivered to the Chu Mansion at night, disturbing the cleanliness. That's why I got up late today."

Just as he was talking, Chu Xie had just washed and dressed, and came face to face from the opposite bedroom with the stove still in his arms.

He looked a little bad.

Chu Xie first drank a cup of hot tea brought by his servants to warm his stomach.Then he turned his head and glanced at the little prince beside him.

"Come to see me early in the morning. Is there something urgent?" Chu Xie asked.

Jiang Yan didn't dare to say anything more, he just clasped his fists in salute to him: "Chu's palm print. It's time to go to court today."

Chu Xie smiled coldly: "There's no rush." ​​After eating breakfast slowly, he got into the sedan chair and took Jiang Yanchi to Miyagi.

On the way, I asked a few more questions: "Do you have any contacts with the minister of the official department?" Jiang Yanchi was shocked when he heard it, and hurriedly replied, "Shangshu Xue is an upright person, and he has advised many outstanding opinions in the court" and so on.

Chu Xie said nothing with a cold face, and added: "Stop talking."

"Yes."

In the next few days, officials from all walks of life who were involved in the incident of returning the gold to the gambling house were worried, seeing that the conflicts not only did not subside, but also became more acute.

On the face of it, it is not difficult to understand.

It was nothing more than someone poking a big hole in the money bag under Chu Zhangyin's hand - the gold return gambling shop in the imperial capital was quickly seized.

Everyone knew that the big boss of this gambling house was Chu Zhangyin, no one had ever dared to cause trouble there, let alone make trouble, so it was right to sell Chu Xie's face and let him make some small money and be happy.For this reason, there are quite a few petty officials who entrust others to give gifts, but deliberately come to the gambling shop to give some money, clear up the relationship with the lower levels, and buy a small shady official in front of them.

People in the imperial city of Dongdu are used to being dumb and blind.

Unexpectedly, the official minister's bones suddenly hardened, and he dared to poke the hornet's nest.

The surname of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is Xue, and his sons are all very promising. They are not ministers but also lieutenants outside.But what is more worth mentioning is his second daughter.

His second daughter married the eldest grandson of Zhen Guohou on the frontier.

She is the daughter-in-law of the grandson of Xu's family who holds half of the military power in the Great Wei Dynasty.

Therefore, this move by the Minister of the Ministry of Officials may also be a blow to Chu Xie by the Xu family.

But Chu Xie is arrogant by nature and acts ruthlessly.Where is the kind of person who can die after being beaten.The business in the gambling house is not only a superficial business, but also smuggled salt, which is the big profit.

More than half of Chu Xie's ten thousand family wealth came from this way, and he had to manage it every year.Cutting off his source of income in this way does not completely ignite the firecracker.

It would be strange if he didn't bite the opponent until he saw blood.

No, the casino was investigated the day before.

The next day, Xue Shangshu's eldest son, Xue Nanjin, was imprisoned for dereliction of duty. He was not polite, and directly dragged him to Zhao Prison and beat him to death.He also threw the blood-stained tunic at the door of Xue's mansion, directly laid old man Xue on the bed in anger, and summoned two or three imperial doctors to take care of him overnight.

As a result, all the ministers in the court have been silent these days.

As always, Chu Xie always came late and put on a lot of face.

A few days later, the ban on Jinhuan Casino was lifted, and no one dared to question the regulations.

What's interesting is that Mr. Xue woke up again within two days. Hearing that Mr. Xue's life was safe in prison, he insisted on knocking on the gambling house and sealed it up for the second time.

This time Chu Xie was completely upset.

That same night, Mr. Xue's plea was heard from Zhao Prison.

He was sentenced to beheading and executed seven days later.

The city is full of apprehension.

Many people knelt at the gate of Lenggong and began to kowtow to beg His Highness the Crown Prince to uphold justice.

Jiang Yan Chiqing's face was pale, and he heard that the people outside the door couldn't afford to kneel, but he himself was just a bug in Chu Xie's hand now.

Even though he knew that his loyal minister had been killed, he did not dare to act rashly to save him.

When Chu Xie sneaked into the cold palace in the middle of the night on the fifth day, he felt that Jiang Yanchi was preoccupied.

He imitated what Xu Chunmu did in the original text, and handed him a small box of firecrackers made of gunpowder.

With a slight pull, a firework will fly above the head, bursting into a beautiful little firework.

In the original text, Xu Chunmu sent the whistle.

It's a pity that Xu Chunmu has strong weapons and sensitive ears.But Chu Xie was different, with such a broken body, he couldn't hear even the big trumpet, let alone the whistle.

And there is also some intention to send fireworks.

If you want the fireworks to be seen, you can only set them off at night.

In this way, if you do things during the day and work at night, the two characters will basically not collide.

Chu. Extremely smart. Xie.

Holding the firing cannon in his hand, Jiang Yanchi took a deep look at Chu Xie: "Do you really think that I can bring down Chu Xie?"

Of course, you are the main character.

Why did the little prince start to doubt himself.

Jiang Yan couldn't hear the answer for a long time, and his heart sank inch by inch.

Turned around, but heard the sound of strings.

I saw Chu Xie sitting in front of the desk with his old piano in his arms, and the moonlight poured down on him, dyeing his sleeves like pear blossoms.

"Host." The system's voice appeared out of date, "The character design is wrong, Xu Chunmu can't play the piano!"

"Whispering." Chu Xie paused, "Could it be possible for me to dance swords and swords in front of the protagonist, and have a magnificent mobilization meeting?! Which sword can I hold with my arm, and fly out to kill the protagonist?" What if I hacked to death?"

"...Ah this."

Chu Xie: "You can go up if you want, and get off the assembly line if you can't!"

The system goes offline angrily.

When binding the protagonist, he got some character skill rewards, and Chu Xie played the piano wonderfully.

The night was silent, and the sound of silk and bamboo, which could not be heard before, came from the cold palace, like crying and crying, which was touching.

Jiang Yanchi saw that pair of slender hands plucking the strings, as delicate as jade, with evenly placed phalanges.

So lovely.

The song "Xiaoya Konggu" is a long-lost melody of the Great Wei Dynasty. It never occurred to me that Xu's family had been soldiers for generations and guarded the border for a hundred years, yet they could produce such elegant descendants.

Before I knew it, my heart also became quiet.

"Unexpectedly, you can do this." After the song was over, Jiang Yanchi walked to the desk, knelt on his knees, and imitated him by plucking the strings twice, "It sounds so good."

"Silk and bamboo are pleasant to the ear, but they can calm people's hearts. Your Highness, I will teach you."

He pulled the prince's hands over and put his fingers on the strings that should fall, and put his hands on the back of the man's hand. While pressing down, he said: "Pick this one first, then this one...then, this one... You move the right hand to pluck the strings, and my left hand cooperates. Try it?"

Jiang Yanchi can play the piano.

But at the moment, he was clumsy and confused.

The fingers are also confused.

The clumsy appearance attracted the man to chuckle, but without any sarcasm, he gently pressed down his hand again: "It's okay, take your time."

Then he raised his eyes and stared at himself very patiently.

"Learning piano is the same, and so are others. Take your time. I believe His Highness, you can do it."

Obviously the hand has stopped.

But the strings in my heart were suddenly plucked.

Under the moonlight, the man's neck was slender and fair, and he was so close that he could smell the faint fragrance of medicinal herbs on his body.

"Master Xu."

Chu Xie was stunned for several seconds before realizing that the little prince was calling him. After saying 'um', I heard an extremely faint "thank you".

"You don't need to thank me." Chu Xie responded softly.

"Actually, in the past two years, I really... Others think that I am so lucky to be selected by Chu Xie to fly on a branch and become a phoenix. But, but..."

My mother is dead.

Killed by Chu Xie with a bottle of Hedinghong.

Such heavy words were finally choked in his throat and could not be said.

This is the price of wearing this Eastern Palace Feather Crown.

Chu Xie thought, could it be that the incident of the gold return gambling house made him too distressed, and he was so entangled.

Wen Sheng persuaded: "Your Highness, don't be too entangled. You don't have to rush to stand in line. There may be some turning points in this matter."

It wasn't until Jiang Yanchi realized that he was talking about buying officials from gambling houses.

"What else can there be?"

Mentioning this matter, Jiang Yanchi sighed, "Now it's a foregone conclusion. Three days later, the second son of the Xue family will be beheaded. When he dies, the whole court will be extremely disappointed with me...you... "

You too, right.

will be very disappointed with me.

The second half of the sentence was left unsaid.

Chu Xie had some plans in mind, and raised his hand presumptuously to rub His Highness the Crown Prince's head: "I said there will be a turning point, and there will be."

After saying this, Chu Xie left the cold palace.

I didn't come back for the next two days.

Until the third night, the night before Second Master Xue was about to be beheaded, Jiang Yanchi had a vague premonition that that person would definitely come over tonight.

But there are still many important officials kneeling outside tonight, and there may be a lot of Chu Xie's eyeliner inside.

If possible, Jiang Yanshen hoped that he would not come tonight and not get involved in this matter.

The case of Jin Huan Casino is closed when it is closed.

Don't be self-defeating, but be targeted by Chu Xie.

His body is weak, and he always speaks in a soft voice. He probably can't imagine how cruel the punishment in this world can be.If a flaw is revealed, he will not be able to withstand Chu Xie's repeated tortures.

But he still came.

The man was still wearing a soft leather mask, and sneaked in through the gap in the wall at the back door in the middle of the night. After he came in, he patched up the bricks one by one. He checked to make sure that no one was following him. After taking two steps, he was slapped by the little prince. Pulled into the shadow under the pear tree.

"It's very time now. How dare you come over here." Jiang Yanchi covered his mouth to keep him silent, lowered his voice and spoke next to his ear, his warm breath sprayed on his ear, which made him feel angry. It was blushing, "How many eyes are staring at the cold palace now, you go first."

"Well!"

Chu Xie pointed to the covered mouth.

Jiang Yanchi hesitated for a moment, then let go.

Then he saw Chu Xie take out a few account books and contact letters from his sleeve rustlingly, and handed them to him.

"what is this."

Before he finished speaking, seeing Chu Xie's seal and inscription on the letter, as well as a series of astonishing numbers on the book, his expression suddenly changed.

Chu Xie was pressed against the tree, and his back was scorchingly painful from the rough tree trunk, which almost knocked his sick bones apart.

Those hands were still clasping his shoulders tightly, pinching his arm with his nails: "Where did you steal these things? You don't want to die!"

This is Chu Xie's correspondence and accounts of smuggling salt.

If it weren't for Chu Xie's cronies, they would definitely not be able to get these.

Is this person a fool?

In order to weaken Chu Xie's power, in order to allow himself to hold the imperial power, did he really want his life?

"Don't go back to Chuxie's place. I'll prepare a carriage and some money for you. You can run away overnight. I'll find someone to escort you to the north. The matter of returning the gold to the gambling house is now full of troubles. This account and this The letter is lost, and Chu Xie will soon follow the clues that it was you who betrayed him, without further ado, leave tonight!"

Jiang Yanchi's voice was full of anxiety and depression, and now he was constantly thinking about the news that the second son of the Xue family, who had offended Chu Xie, was beaten to death overnight in Zhao Prison.

Holding those letters in your hand is like holding a piece of red-hot coal.

I wish the man had never stolen it.
