Chapter 228 Song Xu, those things
"Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet?" Jiang Xi was confused, "How could we receive invitations to the Palace Banquet?"
"Didn't I tell you?" Song Xu stood with his hands behind his back, smiling faintly, and invisibly a sage, "I am the Yinqing Guanglu doctor of Dayun, from the third rank."
Jiang Xi looked at Song Xuqiang silently pretending to be calm, but he wished he could write his face full of you asking, why don’t you ask? I’ll tell you if you ask.
She thought for a while: "Well, I think it's good."
Then he asked Ji Xing to leave the mansion, and Song Xu couldn't wait for her to turn back.
"Why didn't she ask me where the scattered official rank came from?" Song Xu lay resentful on the stone table in the yard, breathing heavily.
"Hello take the opportunity to tell her the glorious deeds of your youth?"
Song Xu hadn't noticed where the voice came from, and raised his eyebrows proudly: "Of course! I, Song Xu, back then...uh."
Song Xu turned around stiffly, Lou Chen stood behind him with a medicine basket, looking at him quietly.
"But what?"
Song Xu was like a chicken strangled: "No... nothing!"
"You are popular in the flowers, were countless prostitutes willing to pay for you to ask for poetry?" Lou Chen thought seriously, "That's really interesting."
"I'm not! I don't!"
"Haha." Lou Chen turned around and entered the house.
Song Xu was anxious and was about to go up to explain, and he had just taken a few steps.
"Hey, she is unhappy or unhappy? Did she say she care? She is jealous?"
Just thinking about it, Song Xu was like he was injected with chicken blood, and he was so excited that he slammed his whole body.
No! You have to chase after me and ask!
On the other hand, Song Xu followed Lou Chen with a stern face. On the other hand, Jiang Xi left the Song Mansion and headed straight to the Ministry of Justice.
In the past half a month, Ye Zheng has been in the Ministry of Justice in order to investigate the case, and there is not even a maid serving him. Jiang Xi hasn't seen him for a few days and feels that he has lost weight again.
"I'm afraid I forgot to eat again, right? I'll bring it to you."
Ji Xing put the food box brought by Jiang Xi on the table.
Ye Zheng raised his haggard face from a pile of files: "Have breakfast been over?"
"Lunch time is over?" Jiang Xi picked up Zhang Kong's chair and sat down. "If you stayed in the cold and heat, you are really afraid that one day I will come to see you and you will die suddenly in this small room!"
The conditions of the Ministry of Justice were really not very good. Even though the Minister of Justice specially prepared a good room for him in order to take care of the King of Wei, it was so simple that it was extremely simple.
"It's not as exaggerated as you said. I'm just too addicted to it." Ye Zheng said, and opened the food box brought by Ji Xing. "This taste is very similar to the food you made by Afu!"
Ye Zheng tried Afu's craftsmanship several times in the Yushan courtyard, and he has been thinking about it since then.
If I hadn't thought that Ah Fu was Jiang Jiu's beloved maid, I would have probably wanted to leave.
Jiang Xi's face was not blushing, his heart was not beating: "Well, this is a restaurant I found in Chang'an that tastes very similar to Ah Fu. I specially ordered the chef to cook your favorite dishes. They tasted good, right?"
"It's really good!" Ye Zheng took a sip of chicken soup, his whole body became warm, and his exhausted spirit improved a lot. He also had the energy to ask where Jiang Xi's restaurant was. He wanted to take the cook back to the royal palace.
Jiang Xigu talked about him around the topic: "How is the case investigated?"
Ye Zheng quickly forgot about the food and entered a state of grimness and grimness.
He shook his head and sat down: "There is still no progress. In the past half month, there is no clue except for the bodies of eight missing girls being found."
Now eight, three, and all the bodies of the missing eleven girls have been found. In addition to Xianling's death, there are already twelve victims in this case.
All kinds of strange talks about this case in Chang'an City are also rampant. From the court to the people, all the attentions of the Ministry of Justice were concentrated on the Ministry of Justice. As one of the leaders of this case, the pressure on Ye Zheng can be imagined.
He is not like the Minister of Justice, because he is in his position and does his job. In fact, as the emperor's parent-child, it is very easy for him to get out of this case.
But, he didn't want to.
Ye Zheng could dream of those tender and pale faces day and night, as if he was crying and begging him to give him justice.
Ye Zheng rubbed his tired face and said, "The person behind him is like a ghost. During this period, we have almost turned the entire Chang'an City, but there is still no trace at all. I even think that the murderer threw out the bodies of these eleven innocent girls, not negligence, but provocation. He is mocking our incompetence. Let us see, even if he stays in Chang'an City with a swagger, no one can find him!"
Ye Zheng's indignant tone made Jiang Xi silent.
Although she has not had much contact with Ye Zheng, who has investigated the case in the past half month, she is also investigating the case through Jiang clan's human-handed and eyewitness in Chang'an, and has found nothing with Ye Zheng.
She knew Ye Zheng very well that powerlessness.
"Where is the King of Qi?"
Ye Zheng shook his head: "My second brother is busy at the Ministry of War all day. Once I used the excuse of holding a banquet for the Prince of Wei's Mansion to invite him over. He agreed and sent someone to say that the day of the banquet would be busy and that he would not give me any chance to contact him. I would not be able to investigate too much for others."
Ye Zheng's statement was obscure, but Jiang Xi understood that Ye Zheng was afraid that if he investigated King Qi, it would be heard by Emperor Jing Yuan, and then he would be using the investigation case to suppress his brother.
The prince's dispute is a big taboo.
No matter how much Ye Zheng doesn't care, he can't be the first person to break the balance of all princes.
"We will be at the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet soon. How about taking this opportunity to test the King of Qi?"
Jiang Xi's proposal made Ye Zheng's eyes lit up: "Yes! Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet! Everyone will attend at that time. No matter how unscrupulous my good second brother is, he can't push the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet! How many days will the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet be there?"
"It's the day after tomorrow."
Ye Zheng thought for a while: "Well, why don't Jiulang, you go with me... After all, Aji has an awkward identity and is difficult to display in the palace. You are the only person I can trust."
Jiang Xi didn't even think about it and responded in one go.
"Okay! I'll arrange the others..."
"This is not necessary. I will enter the palace with my uncle at the time."
Ye Zheng racked his brains and thought for a long time, but he couldn't remember who Jiang Xi's uncle was.
"Mr. Song Xu."
"Ah yes, your uncle is Mr. Song Xu, I forgot..." Ye Zheng slapped his forehead and his tone suddenly changed, "Mr. Song Xu! Yes, yes, he has a third-rank civil servant on him and has a dispersed rank! Why did I forget it? So Mr. Song Xu will attend when he is going to?"
Jiang Xi looked at Ye Zheng with a look of waiting to watch the show.
"What's wrong? My uncle really has any great achievements in Chang'an?" She was really curious.
"It's not just great achievements. Your uncle was in Chang'an, but he was a person who could stir up the storm with Chulei, the Marquis of Yongcheng! What he did back then is still talked about! And unlike the Marquis of Yongcheng, your uncle has a very good reputation among literati and is a recognized true celebrity. He does not admire power and is free and free. When His Majesty recruited him to serve in the court with his high-ranking officials, he was better. He hid directly in the best brothel in Pingkangfang and drank all day and day without paying for alcohol. How many prostitutes are waiting to give him money, and they hope that he can write poems, and that prostitute can be worth a hundred times the price! There are still many literati who are still hoping to become a person like your uncle Song Xu!"
"The Song Xu you mentioned is really the same person as the Song Xu I know?"
"Of course."
“…incredible.”
Ye Zheng couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard Jiang Xi muttering, and his mood became a little lighter.
"It's better if you enter the palace with your uncle. Mr. Song Xu's reputation is here, so my second brother will be restrained no matter how hard it is." Ye Zheng hugged his arm and smiled sarcastically.
He knew all the thoughts of the second brother. He wanted to keep a good reputation among literati, so he naturally did not dare to offend Song Xu. Another Mr. Sanxi was famous. In this way, no matter how much he hated Jiang Xi, he would not be able to do too much, and it would be a guarantee for Jiang Xi.
While the two were talking, Mu Yan came in and said that someone came from the palace, and His Majesty told the King of Wei to enter the palace.
Seeing that Ye Zheng was used to it, Jiang Xi asked, "Have you often entered the palace recently?"
"The case has not made any progress in the past half month. Every few days Your Majesty will call me into the palace and beat me up. I am used to it. But it was five days before, and today it was only three days. It seems that Your Majesty has a bad temper today."
Ye Zheng calmly analyzed that he was probably used to Emperor Jing Yuan's attitude towards him, and Jiang Xi didn't want to say anything, so he stood up and said goodbye, saying that he would go to find Qi Wu.
After saving Qi Wu, Jiang Xi left him in the Song Mansion for less than a day of cultivation. Qi Wu hurriedly said he wanted to find a job. He was just a good-looking foundation. He had been hungry for three days and beat and scolded him. After a long time of cultivation, he was lively and jumped around, so Jiang Xi did not stop him.
But she thought that Qi Wu was really a naughty person, so she asked him to make a living and didn't know what trouble she caused. She happened to be with Ye Zheng at that time, so Ye Zheng arranged to do odd jobs in the Ministry of Justice.
Qi Wugan's work is all rough and tiring. He has no official position after all, but he works in the Ministry of Justice, one of the six ministries, and many people are still flocking to him. So Ye Zheng's help is really a timely help.
"Your friend has done a good job recently and is very good at it. His Shangguan told me that he wanted to promote him to the Ministry of Justice. You happened to talk to him, depending on whether he would like to."
"good."
Ye Zheng went out to the palace, and Jiang Xi found Qi Wu's place and told him about this.
"I'm here to go out and go around the world, why do I have to become a person in the government..."
Qi Wu murmured to himself, which made Jiang Xi laugh.
"If you want to stay, stay, stay, and if you don't want to stay, don't stay."
Seeing that Qi Wu was still confused, Jiang Xi simply brought up this topic and asked Qi Wu about the evil deeds of sucking people's blood in public and secretly.
Qi Wu said that his family is a bit famous in the world, but he has never heard of similar evil skills.
Jiang Xi had no choice but to give up.
