Chapter 1179 The Queen Who "Runs Away from Home"

As the old saying goes, when your husband is away for a while, it is a peaceful and peaceful life.

What I mean is that when my slutty husband is not around, I, as a wife, can enjoy a leisurely and comfortable life.

So today Xia Fengxiang felt a lot more comfortable, which was rare. However, from the time he woke up in the morning until now, he felt empty.

But today was a rare day as Su Chang'an and Galjianpi were not around, so there was no one to make him angry early in the morning, and Xia Fengxiang felt comfortable.

There was no morning court today, nor was there a small court meeting, so it was rare that Xia Fengxiang planned to review memorials in Lingqi Pavilion instead of going to the Imperial Study.

Even if a minister had important matters to attend to, Xia Fengxiang still instructed Feng Chun to bring the person here.

only

It was okay at the beginning.

But time passed.

For some reason, Xia Fengxiang felt inexplicably irritated when looking at the memorial.

In particular, the memorial in hand is a letter of greeting, sent from Danzhou, the southernmost seaside. It just says that the weather is good and the harvest is good, and it is a greeting to Your Majesty.

Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes, looking a little annoyed, although he still responded with an "I know" and something like the weather in Beijing is also very good.

But just after finishing writing, Xia Fengxiang habitually said: "Su Changan, you..."

Just as he opened his mouth, Xia Fengxiang raised his eyes and looked to the side.

Usually that jerk just sits here fiddling with his own stuff, and never seriously reviews the memorials sent to him. I even help him read most of them.

But right now, it's empty.

Aunt Sun, who was standing by, saw His Majesty like this and smiled gently. She had been muttering that the Queen was not here today and she could finally relax.

But this is the case now.

Xia Fengxiang frowned for no reason and looked up at Xun Xia: "When did the queen leave?"

Xuan Xia immediately replied: "Your Majesty, he left an hour ago. I think he should be in Cui's house now."

Xia Fengxiang said "Oh", it's only been an hour? Shouldn't it have been several hours?

Then he picked up another memorial, which was from the Censorate, impeaching Bai Gui, who had just been transferred from Wannian County to join the Jingzhao Prefecture's military service.

Xia Fengxiang frowned as he read the memorial that described what Bai Gui had done.

It was about a man named Bai Gui who colluded with gangsters and allowed them to do evil in Wannian County, which was under his jurisdiction. Even the gangsters' sects would pay tribute to him, which was called paying taxes but was actually a show of filial piety.

Moreover, his son also joined a gang called Wanghai Gang in Wannian County to learn martial arts.

This time he was transferred to the capital. In recent days, there have been many fights among gangsters in the capital. He had a rough understanding of some of the cases, which were all because the troublemakers were from the Wanghai Gang.

It was also clearly written in the memorial that the Wanghai Gang intended to expand its strength due to Bai Gui's transfer to the capital, and took advantage of the fact that many people from the martial arts world came to the capital to recruit gang disciples back to Wannian County to expand the gang's influence.

At the same time, the memorial also listed the time and place of Bai Gui's interactions with the Wanghai Gang.

After reading it, Xia Fengxiang took a cinnabar pen and wrote "Cha San", then closed the letter and looked at Feng Chun.

Feng Chun understood what he meant and hurried forward to take the letter with both hands.

Xia Fengxiang said, "Dali Temple Dugu Ruyuan."

Feng Chun immediately bowed respectfully, and when he turned around, a smart young eunuch outside the courtyard hurried forward, took the letter and ran away like the wind.

The matter was not a big deal to Xia Fengxiang. Not all officials of Daxia were clean. Even if they seemed to be working hard to move forward, there were many dirty people behind the scenes.

However, if it turns out to be true, it would be a big deal for Xia Fengxiang, and he would then wait for the result in person.

Otherwise, if Xia Fengxiang were to spend all his time and energy on such things, he would have been exhausted to death long ago.

He picked up another folded paper.

But he hadn't looked at it yet, Xia Fengxiang frowned.

Normally at this time, that mean guy would come up to me and ask, "What's going on? Is there a case?"

But today it's a bit quiet.

Xia Fengxiang looked at Aunt Sun and said, "Aunt, maybe I remembered it wrongly. Su Changan has been gone for several hours."

Xun Xia, who was standing by, was stunned.

Aunt Sun smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, what time is it now, Madam?"

“Oh no!”

But before Aunt Sun could finish her words, Ku Yue fell from the sky and landed in the yard with the cat in her arms.

As soon as she stood on the ground, Ku Yue threw the cat aside and looked at Xia Fengxiang: "Oh no, that person! She is so big, and she is gone!"

Xia Fengxiang looked at Kuyue as if he didn't understand: "Speak slowly, what's missing? And aren't you two with Su Changan? Where's he?"

Ku Yue looked at Xia Fengxiang with a confused look on her face: "After leaving me two taels of silver, she ran away from home!"

As he spoke, he took out a tael of silver, some change, and some copper coins, and said, "The rest will be used to buy oil cakes and milk tea."

Xia Fengxiang looked at Kuyue, who had a bitter face, and was a little confused, "Ah?"

…

The Jingzhao Prefecture government had not just one court, but three locations.

The largest seat above the hall is where only the Jingzhao prefect can sit, and the slightly smaller one is where only the Jingzhao prefect's junior prefect can sit during interrogations.

Usually, the three courts hold a trial above the hall. Occasionally, if it is a serious crime, it needs to be interrogated individually, which is where the Shaoyin is.

On weekdays, most of the minor cases that do not require the intervention of the Jingzhao Prefecture Governor or the Junior Governor are tried in this third court.

Those who came forward to interrogate were usually officials from Jingzhao Prefecture such as the Silu Canjunshi or the Liucao Canjunshi.

at the moment

It was another case of gangsters fighting in the streets of Fangshi.

Those who came to join in the fun were all shocked. There were many gangsters from the capital, but there were also many cases of people being caught fighting here.

Either the fight started because of women, or because some women flirted with other female heroes.

At the front of the court, a middle-aged man with a goatee was sitting there, looking down at the young man who was tied up in the court.

"Master Bai, it's almost time." A lawyer leaned close to the middle-aged man's ear and whispered a reminder.

The middle-aged man, Bai Gui, the military officer of Jingzhao Prefecture, heard this and hummed. He then looked at the young man below and said, "Don't worry. This kid is stubborn. If we don't find a witness, he won't confess. Let's not force him to confess!"

The tied-up young man looked at Bai Gui, smiled contemptuously, and simply closed his eyes.

Bai Gui saw this and twitched his lips. I will lock your scapula later and make you kneel down and beg me!

The lawyer at the side brought tea and flattered him with a playful smile.

Bai Gui was very satisfied when he saw it.

In fact, Bai Gui has been in power for about a month.

In the past, when Yang Meishan was around, although Bai Gui seemed to be a higher official, Yang Meishan came from a better family. Even if his family was impoverished, it was still nobler than his who was nothing.

But I didn't expect Yang Meishan to be so stupid as to do such a thing.

Without Yangmei Mountain, he naturally came to the fore.

The prefect went to inspect other prefectures and counties, while Shao Yin Yang Guofu was raising military funds in Yan. He was the highest-ranking military officer.

Moreover, that gang's business has now expanded to the capital. Not only will he receive more filial piety, but his son's status will also be higher. Sooner or later, he will swallow up that gang and move up to a higher level.

Beautiful!

beautiful!

"Make way! Make way!"

But just when Bai Gui was feeling smug, Ke Xia pulled Su Changan in from the crowd watching the excitement outside.

Seeing that it was this little girl, Bai Gui couldn't help but frown.

But he also laughed. Are you really that stupid? I let you go, but you came to me?

Looking again, he saw that a girl was brought over, and Bai Gui was even more amused by this little girl.

Ke Xia looked at Bai Gui and immediately said, "Sir, I brought a witness here. She can prove that my senior brother went to save that girl!"

The young man looked at Ke Xia, his originally calm expression turned anxious, "Why are you back?"

Ke Xia looked at his fifth senior brother and said, "I'm here to save you. This girl saw the scene."

Senior Brother Yu Jin of Tianzhige frowned, "Leave now! Take this girl with you!"

But Xia ignored him and reached out to help untie his senior brother.

Bang!

The gavel was banged!

Bai Gui looked at Ke Xia and said, "How dare you! I didn't say anything in the court, and you dared to untie the prisoner without permission!?"
