Chapter 175
I... know how to slap the face
After the bandits were successfully suppressed, the officials tortured the bandits severely. They were not tough, and they quickly confessed to the prefect.
The magistrate also knew that the matter was exposed and chose to commit suicide. After Xie Xun found him, his body became stiff.
"I'm afraid a prefect wouldn't be so courageous."
Xie Xun nodded: "I think so too. I'm afraid the person behind him has a lot of background."
But all clues were interrupted.
"I also searched in his room. There were traces of burned paper on the floor. I'm afraid it's a profit-making account book, maybe a correspondence with that person."
Totally destroyed.
I will never forget to do this before I die.
In the early morning, he reported the matter to the court. As expected, Emperor Geng had no intention of scolding Duke Wei.
The emperor was furious.
That person must be found.
Naturally, the matter of the fifth princess was forgotten.
Cui Yun's voice was as cold as pearls falling from a plate.
"You can escape the first day of the new year, but I'm afraid you can't escape the fifth day."
Xie Xun disagreed and felt a little helpless: "One step at a time, we'll talk about it after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year."
"These days, I'm afraid the officials won't be able to take care of me."
When the carriage stopped at the Xianju Restaurant, Xie Xun jumped out of the carriage and said, "You are always tense. If the string is tightened, it will inevitably break. You should relax appropriately."
"The wine in this semi-idle house is good, but the Seventh Prince has brought a lot of good wine here, so why don't we come and taste it together. I'm afraid you and I will have to come and go frequently in the future."
When I stay with Xie Xun, they are both smart people, and they are indeed easy to talk to.
If he refuses again, it will be meaningless.
He followed and got off the carriage.
The two of them headed towards the private room.
Ji Huo raised his eyes and said with a strange look, "Hey, it's a rare visitor."
They came on horseback and naturally arrived first.
The desk was filled with jars of wine and several side dishes.
Ji He also followed the strange yin and yang.
If we count, Ji Huo is close to Xie Xun, but he is closer to Cui Yun.
"If I tell you not to come, will Xie Xun be more proud than me?"
Xie Xun just smiled gently: "Marquis Cui and I hit it off right away, didn't we?"
Cui Yun entered the table with a calm expression.
"I heard from my father that the emperor intends to promise the fifth princess to you." Ji Huo asked happily.
Xie Xun smiled helplessly: "Don't mention this matter."
"Why didn't you mention it? I specially gave you a move. This time you were hit in the abdomen. The injury was not serious, but I heard that you also lost a lot of blood at that time."
Ji Huo winked and said, "Why don't you go to the emperor while the injury is not healed and tell him that that part of the body is injured as well, so you can't live happily together as a couple, and you can't delay the fifth princess. If you bribe the imperial doctor in the palace, there's no need to worry about the big deal.
?”
No matter how bad the emperor is, he can't delay his biological daughter.
Xie Xun: "..."
Ji Hele: "No one will dare to promise his daughter to him again."
"Why not? Once Xie Xun has a girl he wants to marry, then he can be cured. This is a good thing. Is it possible that the emperor will punish her?"
This sentence made Ji He suddenly enlightened.
Then they started shouting: "I think so!"
"Then Mr. Wei has been cured. If he can cure it, you can too."
Ji Huo put his hand on Xie Xun's shoulder: "Brother, at this critical moment, why do you have to worry about your face anymore!"
Xie Xun shook it off.
The smile in his mouth faded.
"Don't think I don't know how much you have in mind."
"Why, because Marquis Cui has a girl he likes, you want me to destroy my reputation so that the girls in Shengjing can only see you."
Ji Huo coughed a few times after his thoughts were exposed.
Several people were talking, but Cui Yun remained silent and leaned on the chair.
Xie Xun asked: "Why don't you drink?"
Cui Yun: "I don't drink well."
Ji Huo understood. He picked up a jar of wine and placed it heavily in front of Cui Yun.
"your."
I can’t drink you to death!
He also expected Cui Yun to get drunk and go crazy!!
He wanted everyone in Shengjing to come and see Cui Yun's drunken gaffe!
Ji He: Idiot.
He has seen Cui Yun's desperate attitude when drinking. If Cui Yun wants to drink, he will definitely knock Ji Huo down!
Cui Yun chuckled, distant yet solemn.
"No."
The more he behaved like this, the more excited Ji Huo became. He waved his hand boldly and said, "How about I drink two bottles and you drink one? It's up to you, come or not! Don't be such a coward. If you're a man, just accept it."
!”
Xie Xun:……
He didn't believe that Cui Yun would suffer at the hands of Ji Huo. He was stunned that he didn't stop her.
Seeing this, Ji He turned his head and looked at him: "Prince Xie, do you want to make a bet?"
"How about a bet on who will lose?"
Xie Xun said gently: "I will suppress Ji Huo."
"What a coincidence, I'm also crushing on Ji Huo."
Ji Huo:......
what happened!!!
Who are you looking down on?
He was angered.
"Open your dog eyes and see clearly!" He stood up, picked up the wine jar, and raised his head to drink.
Cui Yun leaned on the chair and watched silently.
Ji Huo drank a jar of wine and turned around to hug the second jar. He was originally a playboy, and he usually walked around in fireworks and willow alleys, so he naturally developed a good drinker.
After drinking the second bottle, he looked at Cui Yun provocatively.
Cui Yun: "Your Majesty, why should you embarrass me?"
Ji Huo: "If you're a man, just drink!"
Cui Yun was not offended at all.
"I have something to do later, so I can't drink."
"Okay! I understand."
"I have three altars and you have one! Are you coming?"
Cui Yun frowned, as if he wanted to move, but quickly declined.
Ji Huo understood again.
"Definitely! Four for me and one for you! Don't go too far!"
Cui Yun reluctantly nodded.
Seeing this, Ji Huo picked up two jars of wine without saying a word and drank it down.
Then, he burped.
"No, I'm so scared. Let me go to the toilet first. You wait until I come back before you drink. Otherwise, I'm afraid those two people will protect you."
Leaving these words behind, he left the private room.
Cui Yun finally took action.
He uncorked the wine, held it up with one hand and tilted it, pouring a full bowl of rich wine. He also poured a bowl of tea for Xie Xun.
"Prince Xie's injury has not healed yet, so it's better to drink less. Eight years ago, my father and brother defended Chicheng, but the good city ahead was destroyed. Cui, I respect you to take back the city."
The wine flowed down the tip of his tongue, and Cui Yun drank it with an elegant yet graceful posture.
Then, he stood up.
"I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave."
Ji He was speechless. You just set Ji Huo up like this?
Four jars of wine!!!
Xie Xun: "Marquis Cui, walk slowly."
Cui Yun went straight back to his house. As soon as he got off the carriage, he saw servants moving things back and forth.
He had a guess.
Cui Xuan is going back to the Earl of Yongchang Mansion. She and Qiao Si are busy counting the items to be sent. This is actually not simple. These items must satisfy the corresponding recipients. For everyone in the Earl of Yongchang Mansion,
Personal preference, the Earl of Yongchang's Mansion has more people and more side branches, which is the master's method.
Cui Yun's eyes turned and landed on Shen Hua, who was lowering his head and kicking stones, waiting to set off.
He took a few steps closer.
Shen Hua was suppressed by a shadow, and she raised her eyes. She heard the man ask in a low voice: "Can you run a house?"
Shen Hua was a little awake and spoke in a dull voice.
She told the truth honestly.
"I... know how to slap faces."
