Chapter 47 Young Master! Huai Xuan: "Chi Lin, don't force me...
———————
Yan Siqing knew that Jian Wuliang's purpose was not to use her to solve the Red Flame Ghost Fire Case, but to use her to resolve the impeachment case on Prince Yan's side. In his opinion, the impeachment case was related to love and romance, and her confession was very important. It was just the confession that could stir up trouble in the court and resolve the embarrassing situation he and the Dali Temple were in before the emperor.
This is a more efficient trade and worth the scam.
Where are there so many clear skies in this world?
Jian Shaoqing, who is famous all over the world, is a symbol.
She was a little distracted, thinking about her childhood when she followed Xu Junyan across mountains and rivers to handle various cases for the common people. But the older she got, the more she saw that her uncle, who was more capable, was promoted more and more, and his hair turned white because of certain cases involving the court. She also realized that no matter how hard they tried, they would never be able to get to the bottom of the truth behind the extermination of the family in Chang'an.
So, this is the world.
But now she was at least certain that she could not get any useful information about the Red Flame Will-O-Wisp serial case from Jian Wuliang.
In that case, I won’t keep you company anymore.
This man is so powerful, yet he has a decent and mellow edge that is hard to fault.
The people in the Dali Temple were unwilling to accept this, but the person in front of them had Jiang Hui behind him. They had inherent privileges in handling cases in the past, and even if they could enter the residences of ministers and nobles, they would still be powerful. However, this might not be the case when dealing with the royal family, so they could only endure it.
They also looked at Jian Wuliang.
Just let it go?
It seems that they don't have the final say.
"Do you need help?" Ruoqin and others have arrived. They have more people and stronger force.
The people from the Dali Temple were a little weakened when they faced these brave warriors who came from the battlefield.
A moment of silence.
Jian Wuliang saw the situation clearly, which was in line with the essence - if you can't afford to provoke someone, you can't fight him, and if you can't afford to provoke someone, you can't beat him, so just raise your hand.
"retreat."
They retreated, leaving the corpse behind, and Jian Wuliang also looked at Yan Siqing deeply.
Turn around and go out.
Even if he was defeated by Yan Siqing, he had no intention of handing over the case information to her - that is, he had no intention of letting her get involved.
This is what surprised Yan Siqing.
She originally thought that... Prince Yan's deduction and arrangement were based on his calculations of the Dali Temple's predicament, and that he wanted to use this case to undermine the Dali Temple's advantage.
Now it seems that Jian Wuliang always remembers that he is the emperor's man. No matter how difficult the situation is, he only wants to use her and is unwilling to let her help.
Yan Siqing watched as the severed hand on the ground was cleaned up, leaving the room quiet. But he saw the people from the Dali Temple retreat, and the old monk arrived at the right time.
They brought us ginger soup and some other things, and also lit some incense to get rid of the odor.
The White Horse Temple has its status. It is a follower of Buddha, able to see the world clearly but not to interfere.
The old monk said nothing, made the arrangements, and then politely left.
Yan Siqing drank ginger soup, then closed the door and changed her clothes, not caring about the suspicions of the princess or the young master outside.
As soon as the door closed, Xiaoyun packed up her damp clothes and whispered, "Actually, I thought that Master Jian, while certainly unhappy after being defeated by you, would have bowed his head and asked for help given his situation. It could have been considered cooperation at most. I didn't expect him not to."
Yan Siqing: "A proud person should have dignity."
She didn't care too much, leaning against the window and watching the wind and rain outside seem to be starting to subside. "Besides, his situation isn't that bad."
"If all else fails, there's still one last solution."
What?
Xiaoyun was surprised.
outside the house.
The Dali Temple officials who carried the corpse were arranged by Jiang Hui.
"It's not like we don't have somewhere to go. Let's go to my room."
Jian Wuliang looked at Jiang Hui and said, "Your Highness didn't even enter the room where Young Master Yan was."
There is a hidden meaning.
He knew that Yan Siqing was a woman, and a married woman at that, so it was reasonable for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to avoid suspicion.
Jiang Hui: "Master Jian has misunderstood. Am I not with my cousin Xie Ajiu? Naturally, he gave us a house. Or is it that Master Jian despises me as a mere warrior, too rough and rude? That's okay, my cousin is not like that."
Jian Wuliang: “….”
Xie Rong was stunned, his handsome face turned blue and red, and he didn't even want to look at the corpse.
"Everything is up to my cousin. Sir Jane, please come this way."
Even if he wanted to escape the marriage, he should not have fled to Chang'an. Why did he have to get involved in the affairs of "Master Yan" because of the intelligence information from home and the fear that Prince Yan's scandal would affect his family's foundation?
Damn it, I can’t get rid of it.
The problem is that he hasn't done anything yet.
Jiang Hui is vicious!
——————
The wind and rain blew for a while, the wind died down, but the rain was still there.
It was impossible to exit the White Horse Temple area as it was getting dark, so we had no choice but to spend the night inside.
Naturally, they had to continue walking inside, but Princess Huaixuan suggested that they go together.
She is the elder and a princess, and there is only the plank road, so there is no point in refusing.
Jiang Hui's eyes were complicated, and no one knew what he was avoiding. Later, he walked beside Princess Huaixuan several times, asking questions and appearing to be very concerned about his elder.
Princess Huaixuan changed her expression several times and asked him to go away. The man went away and came back after a while.
He asked her what she wanted to eat in the evening, and as her nephew, he could go to the mountains to catch some pheasants.
Huai Xuan: "Chi Lin, don't force me to incite you."
Yan Siqing was hanging at the back, holding an umbrella. He heard the noise from this side several times and seemed to be thinking about something. But when he looked ahead, he saw that Jian Wuliang had already walked to the front and disappeared soon.
She frowned slightly.
————
By the time a large group of people finally arrived at the White Horse Temple, it was already evening and the sky had become darker. A highly respected master came to greet them and arranged rooms for them in a timely manner.
"We've had a lot of guests lately, so there aren't many rooms left in the living room. So... Mr. Yan, is it okay for you to stay in Jingyin Courtyard?"
Jiang Hui and other royal family members have established residences and do not need any arrangements. Obviously, they will not live with Yan Siqing.
This is even better. Jiang Hui also knows that the two should not be too close to each other, as it will cause gossip. As for safety, just transfer all the troops to Jingyinyuan.
He thought it was fine, but he still noticed something was wrong because...
He stared at Jian Wuliang who had returned at some point.
"I wonder where Master Jian lives?"
Jian Wuliang smiled: "Your Highness, are you worried that I will also live in Jingyinyuan?"
Host: "Lord Jian lives in Fanxinyuan."
Yan Siqing tilted his head and saw carriages entering and exiting the small door beside the main gate of the White Horse Temple. There were many traces of repeated trampling, which showed that some places inside were being repaired or built, and a large amount of bricks and stones needed to be transported.
But the host refused to mention it, which may be related to the above meaning, or it may be confidential.
It’s true.
Jane Wuliang's retreat.
Yan Siqing had some guesses in her mind, but after repeated speculations, she said nothing - Jian Wuliang came to her house to defraud her, and she fought back. This was one thing, but to truly resist the other party's power was another matter.
After all, she is just like you in words.
She remained silent, as if she had no objection to the arrangement.
That's all I'll let it go.
Jian Wuliang stared at her with a slight smile on his lips.
But suddenly Jiang Hui said calmly, "What about those corpses?"
Jian Wuliang's eyes flickered, and he turned to look at Jiang Hui and saluted: "What is your intention, Your Highness?"
Jiang Hui smiled, "If the case can't be solved and the real culprit can't be caught, it will naturally be caused by ghosts and gods. We will come to the White Horse Temple to offer sacrifices to exterminate the evil and calm the people. This is Master Jian's last resort, and it is also a method that the court can accept."
"Then it is inevitable that all the corpses will be transported to the White Horse Temple to exorcise the evil spirits and suppress them."
"The case cannot be solved, but Master Jian is a professional when it comes to transporting corpses."
Because Yan Siqing had revealed earlier that the body of the male prostitute was used to deceive her.
Everyone habitually thought that Jian Wuliang came to the White Horse Temple for this purpose.
But I didn't know...he was really transporting corpses.
However, Jiang Hui was able to notice this not because Jian Wuliang and the people from the Dali Temple revealed any flaws, but simply because he understood the methods of these officials from various departments.
Xiaoyun looked at Yan Siqing subtly, thinking that the young lady had seen it early on - this must be the last resort she mentioned.
Moreover, in this way, the corpses would stay with Yan Siqing. If anything went wrong and involved her, she would have to deal with it herself.
There was no need to diminish his dignity in the slightest, as long as she was implicated, it would also be beneficial to the case.
Jian Wuliang was not embarrassed by being exposed. He remained cunning and cold, and said slowly, "Then Your Highness, will you arrange for Master Yan to stay with you?"
He would never confront Jiang Hui head-on in the past, but now he has confronted him several times, only because he has grasped one thing - all the things mentioned by prisoners like Lin An point to one thing.
Since Jiang Hui cared about Yan Siqing extremely much, he did not just take the latter to Chang'an to resolve the matter of King Yan to "use" him.
After a little speculation, Jian Wuliang understood a little bit. He had tried it before and now he was more certain.
That's the weakness.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is invincible on the battlefield.
He smiled and tickled Jiang Hui.
Jiang Hui: "Aunt Huaixuan is in the White Horse Temple. If there are any bodies suspected to be caused by ghosts and monsters, they are also in the White Horse Temple. As a backup, this prince has decided to go in and guard it personally."
"Lord Jian is busy investigating the case. Although he has been investigating without any results, he is really busy and cannot be with me. I understand." Jian Wuliang: "....."
Xie Rong felt that Jian Wuliang had too little contact with his cousin. The latter's cunning nature was fully demonstrated within the royal family and on the battlefield, but he rarely entered the court to argue with these officials.
Now you know he has a bad mouth.
Hahaha.
He was laughing, but also curious about the reaction of Master Yan, who had always been schemed by Lord Jian.
Looking back.
Everyone's face turned dark.
Just because.
"cousin!!"
"Mother!"
A sweet voice was heard, and the noble lady in pink and white, escorted by the guards, flew towards Jiang Hui like a butterfly, calling out "Princess Huaixuan".
Princess Huaixuan was over forty years old, so naturally she had offspring. Her only daughter, Princess Huimin, was also favored, and everyone knew that she loved Prince Yan.
Royal women were never bound by worldly constraints in their pursuit of love, and could even directly petition the gods for marriage.
There's nothing surprising about this.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has quite a few cousins, too many to count.
This is even more commonplace.
But Ruoqin and the others secretly felt that something was wrong, and when their hearts skipped a beat, they subconsciously looked somewhere.
Jiang Hui's face also darkened, as if he had seen a red-eyed beast and was afraid of not being able to catch up. He quickly jumped onto the steep waterfall pier and looked away anxiously.
His face suddenly turned darker.
On the other side, Yan Siqing had already accepted the idea of living in Jingyinyuan and knew that she would have to live with a group of corpses. She had no resistance in her heart, so she was chatting with Xiaoyun about the climate in the mountains where the White Horse Temple was located and the bustling pilgrims. It was just a casual chat, but she smelled a fragrance and looked up.
"Mr. Yan, what's your name?"
"I admire a gentleman like you who is both talented and handsome the most."
The mother and daughter are each busy in their own areas, and their goals are quite clear.
Princess Huaixuan even frankly told the White Horse Temple's abbot, "Please arrange a wing room for this young master. Let him live in the Qingxin Courtyard where I usually stay."
"Just now, my nephew and Master Jian were talking about a lot of things. Don't pay attention to it."
"The case is their business, and the body is their business too. After all, it's their duty and filial piety."
"I need to rest now."
"Come, Master Yan, follow me. I want to have a long chat with you about the cases at the post station. I heard there was also a theft of the precious jade? How interesting..."
Even Jian Wuliang, the judge of hell, and Jiang Hui, the ruthless warrior on the battlefield, did not expect such a plot.
Jian Wuliang: “….”
His carefully planned trick was broken just like that.
Yan Siqing was also stunned, and he was hesitant to speak in front of the emperor's sister who had a terrible reputation and was the concubine of the princess.
She felt that these members of the Jiang royal family were indeed more difficult to deal with than the other.
But she never thought that Prince Yan and his son were not the most difficult to deal with.
The real difficulty is this princess who is born with a love for beauty and loves to keep male lovers for her own enjoyment.
-----------------------
The author has something to say: There are no people with truly pure virtues in this book. Most people who can get into officialdom are not too pure. Jian Wuliang is a representative of this. He can get things done, but he can also seek benefits for himself and use tricks for life and death. This includes the heroine. He will use it when necessary and abandon it when necessary, and make calm decisions based on the situation.
