Kunshan's death
The next morning, Chai Heng's team took He Wenqian back to Weicheng.
There was no rush and no mission along the way, so everyone felt much more relaxed. Chai Heng had already sent a message back with the situation here, but he was a little worried, afraid that he would be punished for his own self-assertion.
Yue Qinghai left on his own after the hostage exchange, and Luo Jin ignored him. This man is a villain in the novel, and his martial arts are very strong and difficult to deal with. It is not easy to control him with his past. But she knew that she could only control him for a while, and it would not last long.
In the novel, Yue Qinghai lost his family in a famine when he was young and was adopted by a kind-hearted farmer couple. However, he killed his adoptive parents when he was twelve years old. Later, he escaped to the military camp and served as a soldier under the general. He had a high talent for martial arts and was invincible on the battlefield, and was highly valued by the general.
However, when the general's eldest daughter, who had become a concubine at the time, came home to visit her parents, he suddenly became beastly and did a beastly thing to her. The general was so angry that he hunted him all over the city and issued a bounty order. However, in order to protect his daughter's reputation, the reason for the bounty was written as murder and robbery.
After Yue Qinghai escaped from the military camp, he lived in seclusion for a long time. He practiced martial arts diligently and his martial arts improved by leaps and bounds. When he came out again, he had changed his name and his appearance had changed a lot. No one would associate him with the fugitive Han Erniu anymore. After
that, he followed the righteous people in the martial arts world to do some good things to punish evil and eliminate evil, and gradually accumulated fame.
At the present time of the plot, Yue Qinghai is still a good person in everyone's heart. He is currently relatively low-key and is not considered a treacherous and evil person.
In the novel, he only revealed his evil true face in the later period and went on a killing spree. In the early period, he was basically just a soy sauce role and did not really do anything against the will of heaven and earth.
And the noble concubine who was defiled by him that year was the biological mother of the sixth prince.
Yue Qinghai always thought that the Sixth Prince was his son, and Luo Jin guessed that he assassinated the Crown Prince to pave the way for his own son.
However, in the novel, the Crown Prince was not captured, and there was no plot about the assassination of the Crown Prince.
The protagonist of the novel is He Xiao, who only fought with the Western Abyss Kingdom a few times in the early stage of the novel, and during this period, he also explained some plots of the Western Abyss Kingdom. But in the later stage, the map was changed, and He Yuan soon went to fight with the Hanyuan Kingdom. People from the Western Abyss Kingdom never appeared again, and Luo Jin only knew about the plots related to He Xiao's several major battles.
The novel mainly tells about the story of Yeyuan Country where the heroine Feng Lingruo lives. Unfortunately, Luo Jin was not born in Yeyuan Country, so these plots and knowledge are of no use to her.
She just hopes that Yue Qinghai will continue to wander in Xiyuan and not come to Dongyuan. It would be better if he was killed by He Xiao earlier, so that many innocent people can be saved.
Although she didn't want Jiang Mo to die in her heart, she knew too little and there was really nothing she could do to help.
...
The convoy rested several times along the way. When they encountered a prosperous town, Chai Heng allowed the guards to buy some specialties to bring back to their families. The guards were naturally happy. Everyone bought something and put it on the carriage to take back.
When passing by a jewelry store, Luo Jin bought a step-shake for the princess. It was made of a special kind of local red jade with naturally formed phoenix patterns on it, which was very special. But the price was also very special, almost one thousand taels, and Luo Jin gritted her teeth and bought it after feeling distressed for a long time.
Although she thought the princess might not like it, she still wanted to give it to her.
It took almost half a month for the convoy to finally return to Weicheng.
Chai Heng went to see the emperor and asked someone to send Luo Jin back to Lihua Palace.
"A gift for me?" Chai Jing took the hairpin with a smile, took off the hairpin in her hair in front of the mirror, and replaced it with the new one given by Luo Jin, "It's really beautiful, you have good taste!"
She took out a large stack of banknotes, "My second brother asked me to give it to you."
Luo Jin's eyes lit up immediately, he took it and counted, "Five thousand taels, this... is so much?"
"I said it's a reward, this is not a lot, my brother told me about you in his letter," Chai Jing suddenly reached out and took Luo Jin's arm, her eyes sparkling, "Luckily you are here." "
Hehe... I didn't do anything."
[I was so unlucky along the way, I almost died several times... Woohoo...]
[Next time you go out, you have to check the almanac, no matter if it's accurate or not.]
[Luckily you're alive, five thousand taels is enough for retirement hehe...]
[Retire, retire! Chai Jing
asked Luo Jin to go back and rest, and went to Chaoqian Hall.
Chai Heng was still talking to the emperor in the hall, and the chief eunuch Wei Gonggong was guarding the door. Chai Jing saw that her elder brother, Crown Prince Chai Qi, was also waiting at the door, so she ran over quickly.
"Brother!" Chai Jing pulled Chai Qi's clothes and twisted them gently, "Did you bring me any gifts when you went out to play?"
Chai Qi sighed and said, "Going out to play? Do you think I have time to play? Look at my big dark circles!"
Chai Jing moved closer to take a closer look, "Really... By the way, my father said that you went to investigate the corruption case. It's not easy to investigate, right?"
"Of course it's not easy to investigate. Those corrupt officials have been in the area for more than ten years and have considerable power. Some of them even wanted to assassinate me... Fortunately, nothing happened. I just came back after closing the case." Chai Qi yawned, his face full of fatigue. "I didn't sleep well in the carriage. I went to the palace right after getting off the carriage. I haven't taken a shower for several days."
Upon hearing this, Chai Jing immediately let go of his hand, took two steps back, and covered his nose.
Chai Qi: "..."
At this time, Eunuch Wei came over, "Your Majesty, please summon His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Princess to the palace!"
Chai Jing and Chai Qi followed Eunuch Wei into the Chaoqian Palace.
Chai Jing saw Chai Heng standing aside and winked at him, asking him about the result of his mission in Shacheng. After all, he was her dearest brother, so she was very concerned about Chai Heng's affairs.
Chai Heng nodded gently, indicating that she didn't need to worry, and Chai Jing was relieved.
"I heard from Heng'er about the exchange of the crown prince. He did a good job and was decisive, much like I did when I was young. If it were me who made the decision, I would definitely choose to exchange General He. Whether it was for the sake of winning people's hearts or out of sincerity, Heng'er's move really pleased me! He deserves a reward!"
Chai Jing took the opportunity to speak up, "Second brother also captured Liu Shu of the Seven Realms Hall! The number one figure in the Seven Realms Hall! Although he confessed nothing, his apprentice surrendered on the first day and revealed a lot of information about the Seven Realms Hall. It was also a great achievement, father!"
"Reward!" The emperor slammed the table, "A heavy reward! Hmm... let me think about what to reward?"
"How about making him a king?" Chai Jing suggested with a smile.
"Qi'er did a good job this time. There are many officials involved in this corruption case. It is rare that you can handle all of them without missing a single one. You deserve a reward." The emperor suddenly changed the subject, "What is the reward?"
"It is my son's job, no reward is needed." Chai Qi bowed.
"That's true... Then I will reward you by letting you go home and rest for three days. Go! Take a good bath, you already smell..."
"Thank you, father!" Chai Qi turned around and left.
Chai Jing scratched her head and exchanged glances with Chai Heng.
The prince handled such a big case and was only rewarded with three days of rest. How could he have the nerve to ask for a title of king for such a small achievement?
Obviously, this is what the emperor meant by suddenly changing the subject. These two people are not ignorant people, and of course they will not mention the title of king again.
"By the way, I have already had Qi Deguang's house in Weicheng confiscated. He was indeed extremely greedy. There were countless treasures in his house, a total of 700,000 taels of silver! I have already collected them all into the national treasury." The emperor turned to Chai Heng, "Heng'er, you have made a contribution this time, so I will give you Qi Deguang's house as a reward. The house is very big, and the interior is very beautiful. The back garden is bigger than my garden."
Although Chai Heng was not very satisfied, he had no choice but to do so. He bowed and said, "Thank you, father!"
Chai Jing smiled and said, "Father, what about me? I will be rewarded too, right? Can you give me a big house too? I'm tired of living in the palace..."
The emperor rolled his eyes at her, "What contribution have you made? You come here to ask for a reward?"
"I... I helped my father save the baby in Qin Huaying's belly!" Chai Jing felt a little guilty.
Sure enough, the emperor said disdainfully, "How dare you mention such a small matter? Go wherever you want!"
Chai Jing refused to do it, "Father is partial to me! I haven't made any great achievements because my father never gave me the opportunity! I have no place to use my skills! If you give me the corruption case, I can find out!"
The emperor snorted, "Okay, I'll give you something to do, so that you don't have nothing to do all day and cause trouble everywhere."
Chai Jing was surprised and said, " What is it? Is it an investigation or an assassination? It would be best if it is a difficult problem that several people can't solve. Leave it to me and I will do it! Let father see my skills!"
The emperor couldn't help laughing, "You...Okay, I will now appoint you as the music envoy of the Yu Music House, responsible for all matters of the music house. The 18th of next month is the 70th birthday of the Queen Mother, and the music house can't go wrong."
Chai Jing frowned, "What's there to manage in the music house? It's a waste of talent..."
"I say you have high aspirations but low skills! Just take care of the music house first! If you do a good job, I will consider giving you a more important job."
Chai Jing had no choice but to nod, "Okay, let's go to the music house first... By the way, since I am the music envoy, can I decide on the deputy envoy?"
"Sure, you decide."
"Thank you, father!"
...
Luo Jin had just hidden the money when she heard Nanny Zhao calling her, saying that the princess was looking for her. Luo Jin didn't delay and immediately went into the princess' bedroom.
"This princess just asked for an official position for you," Chai Jing said with a stern face, "You must work hard and don't let this princess down!"
Luo Jin was delighted when he heard the word "official position", "I...I'm an official? Really? Do I have a position? What rank?"
"A position...Yes, definitely. It's the ninth rank, if I remember correctly."
[Is it so easy to have a position? ]
[I took the civil service exam for several years in my previous life and failed. I didn't expect to get it here! ]
[I got it! Great! ]
Chai Jing didn't understand what she was saying, but she knew that she seemed very happy.
"Then Your Highness, what exactly do I do?" Luo Jin asked.
Chai Jing discovered early on that Luo Jin was not used to calling herself "slave" like other palace maids. She had never cared about it before, and she would care even less in the future.
She put on a serious look, "You will be a female official in the future, and you don't have to call yourself 'slave'. In front of this princess... no, this official, you can just call yourself 'distinguished official'."
Luo Jin was stunned, "This... official? Is the princess going to be an official too?"
Chai Jing raised her chin proudly, "Yes, I am now the music envoy of Yu Music House! You are my subordinate, the deputy music envoy!"
Luo Jin's face changed slightly.
[Yu Music House! Chen Changmo is the musician of Yu Music House! ]
[Is this evil fate about to begin? ]
[No, I must not let the princess fall in love with that scumbag Chen Changmo! 】
