"Prince Huang, please."

Han Jian said, stepping into Qingxu Yashe first, and Huang Lie followed behind, fearing that he would slow down and would not realize that he was coming in with the King of Dong.

When they arrived at the second floor, Sima Yi, Ruan Ping and others had not returned yet. Apart from the scattered tables of guests upstairs, there was only Yang Xi, an acquaintance. Yang Xi sat in the old position, holding a book alone, looking in a single figure.

"I finally saw a familiar person." Yang Xi and Han Jian said with some emotion after meeting, "I found that you seem to have something to do, only me. Even if you want to help my sister continue to investigate the case, my sister doesn't allow me to interfere anymore, but I ask my third brother to help her. Alas! Maybe my sister still thinks I'm useless."

The empress asked the third prince Yang Yu to help investigate the case? It seems that the empress is balancing the possible rifts between the two princes. This time, Yang Xi supervised the entry of summer grain into the warehouse, which involved a shocking case. Yang Xi was very popular. At this time, the empress asked Yang Yu to do some aftermath work. On the one hand, she wanted Yang Yu to participate in this matter, so that Yang Xi would not be too eye-catching.

Once Yang Xi's position as a prince is a foregone conclusion, Yang Xi will be at the forefront. In the face of power struggle, Yang Yu and his followers behind the scenes may be able to do something.

"Okay, do you think I've been busy all morning? Actually, I've been traveling in the city for the whole morning. I just finished the case and I'm so tired. I'm going out for a walk and relax. Another thing is that your uncle handed me an invitation and said that he would invite us to have a banquet in the mansion, and you'll have a share."

After hearing this, Yang Xi's expression changed slightly and said, "You mean... my uncle, Prince Yanning?"

"Well. Don't you want to go?" Han Jian said, and the three of them had already sat down. As soon as they sat down, Huang Lie stood up again. He was beaten with a board and almost didn't dare to do it. Finally, he sat down carefully, with a strange sitting posture.

At this time, the friend had already served the refreshments. As the meal was approaching, Han Jian calculated that Sima Jie and Ruan Ping should come back almost.

Yang Xi said: "It's not that I don't want to go, it's... My uncle acts strangely and used to visit his place. He always gives me and my third brother some weird things... so that every time I mention my uncle in the future, I feel vomiting..."

Han Jian looked at Yang Xi's expression and thought to himself that what Prince Yanning ate for Yang Xi could make him have such a big psychological shadow?

"Maybe everyone has different eating habits. What food does Yanning Prince use to entertain you?" Han Jian asked.

"It's just some... I can't say, they just fly in the sky, run on the ground, and some bugs... It seems disgusting, fishy, ​​and some tastes weird... Uncle Emperor always urges me and my third brother to eat... Oh, I feel uncomfortable all over when I think about it."

Han Jian smiled and found that the Yanning Prince was just treating them with some mountain delicacies that were basically unseen in the palace.

"It's fine if you don't want to go, but it's best to go there. After all, it's a kind invitation from the Prince of Yanning. If you don't go, it's a bit unreasonable in terms of affection." Han Jian gave Yang Xi a choice, you can't go. But "it's best to go", which actually means that you can't go.

Yang Xi thought for a while and said, "Then I will say. I know the banquet is too late. I will eat it outside first. The emperor probably won't force me to eat those things."

Han Jian smiled and it seemed that Yang Xi had a psychological shadow. However, since the Prince of Yanning invited them in a formal way this time, the banquet should be very formal and would not bring out the birds and beasts to entertain them. Yang Xi's worries should be redundant.

As he was talking, Sima Jie and Ruan Ping came late. Ruan Ping had been visiting his uncles and brothers from the same school these two days, as if he was to heal the trauma of the failure of the exam by interpersonal communication. Sima Jie didn't know how to comfort people. After the two came back, one was happy and the other was dejected, Sima Jie might have deceived Ruan Ping on the road. Among the three old friends, Ruan Ping had been bullied since childhood.

"Hey, Mr. Huang? Come out? Are you... okay?" Sima Lian came over and looked at Huang Lie, asking in a strange tone.

Huang Lie scratched his head and smiled, "It should be fine. I heard that the one I beat him to death... Mr. Li was involved in a big case. He seemed to be an important criminal. I killed him... I was practicing the way for heaven, yes, it was practicing the way for heaven. The yamen did not punish me, but just beat me a few steps, saying it was a small punishment and a big warning, so I let me out. Hehe, my life is so great."

Huang Lie was intoxicated by himself feeling good. Han Jian didn't expect Huang Lie to be released so soon. Logically speaking, Huang Lie's case of killing Lie Wei should have been heard. Even if Li Wei is a traitor, Huang Lie should not have just made a few tricks to kill someone. Huang Lie was released so quickly, which shows that the empress has been under pressure from the Southern Prince's Mansion. This pressure may not be direct pressure, but may come from indirect. Most likely, the confidants of the Southern Prince's Mansion in Luoyang have launched a rescue operation, or it may be that they are about to break up with the Northern Prince's Party. The empress's release of Huang Lie is a long dream.

Han Jian said to Huang Lie: "Although Li Wei is dead and his gangsters have almost been cut off, there will be someone asking you for revenge. Be careful these days, it is best not to go out and walk around casually."

When Huang Lie heard this, he was surprised and said, "That means he can only be bored in the villa of the Nanwang Mansion? I, wouldn't he be bored with a bird egg? I also want to go to the banquet of the prince with a few."

Sima Yi sat down and said with a smile: "The prince of Yanning who invited the banquet was not the one who invited the banquet. You didn't receive the invitation. You thought you could go there casually?"

Sima Yi was very proud of his words because he was invited by name at this banquet. Now, Sima Yi, as Han Jian's right-hand assistant, has appeared in the eyes of court officials many times and has become famous.

Huang Lie heard what Sima Zhi said and sighed: "Oh, then I'll just come out with a bird egg in the Nanwang Mansion..."

...

...

Seeing the dusk, Han Jian looked at the sky and should have been invited by Sima Jie and Yang Xi to the Prince of Yanning.

In the afternoon, Han Jian met Mrs. Luo in the name of asking about the bookstore and explained some things. Han Jian now has nothing to do, so he doesn't have to go there anymore, because he is the only one left in the entire warehouse department. He will not have any business before the new warehouse department leadership team is established. And the establishment of the warehouse leadership team is so "technical" that it is obviously not suitable for him as a layman.

Han Jian's instructions to Mrs. Luo were roughly related to the Western King. The main reason was to ask Mrs. Luo to summarize the actions of the Western King and his followers one by one. He wanted to know why the Northern King Party has been so fierce recently, while the Western King Party can completely get out of the matter.

With the help of Wen'er, Han Jian sorted out his clothes, and Sima Jie was dressed in casual clothes and a sword to prepare to set off.

"You don't look like you are attending a banquet." Han Jian looked at Sima Yi and said.

"What if he doesn't matter, I'm destined to be a hero in the future. Have you ever seen a hero wearing grand clothes to attend a banquet? It's best to wear coarse old clothes, which is the style of a ranger."

Han Jian coughed, thinking that Sima Yi was right, it was a fallacy. This time, the Prince of Yanning mainly invited him and Yang Xi. As for Sima Yi, after all, he was just a guest, and it doesn't matter how he dressed.

"Young Master Yang is here right away. Are the gifts ready?" Han Jian asked casually.

"What gift?" Sima Yi looked puzzled.

"We just went to the banquet for the Prince of Yanning. Do you think this is reasonable?" Han Jian glanced at Sima Jie. Sima Jie was the eldest son of Sima, Jiangdu, and was born in a wealthy family. However, he had no intention of continuing to develop his aristocratic temperament at all. He was determined to be a ranger, and he didn't even care about the basic human relationships and worldly styles.

"Prepare some gifts and ask Butler Li to prepare, go quickly." Han Jian said.

Sima Jie reluctantly went out to arrange it, and soon came back with a gift box. In order to cope with the daily gift exchanges, the Dongwangfu Villa also had many ready-made gifts. Sima Jie just brought a gift box back to charge the numbers.

Just at this moment, it was reported that Yang Xi had come.

"Okay, let's go."

Han Jian didn't open it to see what was inside the gift box. I thought I would have gone through the motions of giving gifts, and the Prince of Yanning would not open it to see it. If Han Jian knew what was inside, he would definitely have fallen on Sima's face.

When they met with Yang Xi, they took a few guards to the Yanning County Prince's Mansion. Unlike ordinary officials, they didn't know how to ride sedan chairs and carriages, and they were used to walking. Fortunately, the inner city of Luoyang City is not big, and the places they want to go are basically gathered within a few streets.

On the way, Yang Xi said, "According to Brother Han, you said to my sister that we were going to the Emperor's Uncle. My sister nodded and agreed, but told us not to go back too late. Also, I heard that the Emperor took Tang Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue to see her sister yesterday and said that she wanted to cure Tang Shangshu, but my sister just asked Tang Shangshu to resign and stayed at the post, and was fined several months of salary."

Han Jian also received the same news earlier that Tang Sheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was not only not implicated in this case, but also not even punished for his dereliction of duty. The seemingly "destroying relatives for justice" move by the Prince of Yanning is actually very clever. On the one hand, he shows that he is clear in public and private affairs and values ​​laws, and also allows the queen to take into account both face and sell favors. In this way, there are steps on both sides.

As for the Minister of Revenue Tang Sheng, Han Jian realized that this person was definitely not a good person. He could protect himself while the entire yamen was being attacked. Even with the support of the Yanning Prince, he had enough means to make Han Jian use his strength to find out the slightest evidence of the crime. In reality, the situation where everyone was drunk and I was awake alone basically would not happen, especially in the officialdom. Han Jian thought about it, does this mean that the corruption case is also related to the Yanning Prince?

If this is true, what is the Yanning Prince’s plan?
