When passing by Duke Zhao's residence in Beijing, the prince ordered someone to stop the car and said, "Okay, you can go back."
Yan Ling jumped off the painting, smiled and thanked: "Thank you, Your Highness, for seeing me off."
The prince rolled his eyes and leaned out of the car window: "Just be proud of yourself! Just take it for the sake of what you have suffered today."
Yan Ling laughed: "Your Highness is kind."
After watching the prince's carriage drive away, Yan Ling turned around and returned to his home.
As soon as he stepped into the mansion, the smile on his face disappeared, and he was completely different from the shameless young man just now.
"Invite some strong men to come over." He ordered.
"Yes." The guard clasped his fists.
Xue Yi and the others entered the small hall and were about to salute when they asked Yan Ling to hold them up.
"You guys don't need to be polite."
Luckily for Xue Yi, he had already guessed his identity. Ji Sanniang and his sister were really in a state of ups and downs today. They were desperate in the morning and had no choice but to take risks. Now they have become guests of the Duke and the Marquis. They have not yet adjusted to this mentality.
So, not only were they not caught when they collided with the Holy Driver, but they were also encouraged by the Crown Prince himself. Is this all true? Why did it happen like this!
The brother and sister were still dazed, but Xue Yi had already presented the prince's reward: "My lord, the grace of saving my life today will be unforgettable. We should not have received these gold and silver, so I will give them back."
Yan Ling waved his hand: "These are all trivial matters. Since I took action today, I cannot return without success. Let's talk about your affairs first! You want to save that sworn brother, right?"
Xue Yi nodded, but heard Ji Sanniang ask: "Brother Xue, just now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked, I originally wanted to mention this matter, why didn't you let me say it? Second Young Master Yan has already helped us a lot, and this matter is again
It's so complicated, wouldn't it offend those people if he were to come forward?"
Xue Yi said in a dull voice: "This is not our credit. Claiming it like this is a last resort. How can we admit it shamelessly?"
"But……"
Yan Ling said with a smile: "You were right not to say it at the time. Although the prince was somewhat...in the rumors, he actually has a simple character. If you had told him, he would have revealed the matter directly and even brought it to His Majesty's side. In this way,
Oh no."
Ji Sanniang was even more puzzled: "If we make trouble in front of His Majesty, wouldn't we be able to get rid of those corrupt officials? Why is it not good?"
It was Xue Yi who answered. He sighed and said: "Ji Sanmei, things are not that simple. In today's world, it is normal for government officials to protect each other. This is true from top to bottom, and many dignitaries are involved. If you are serious
If we continue to investigate, we may not know which royal relatives will be implicated... What can your Majesty do?"
He said this euphemistically, but what he really meant was that His Majesty was not willing to break this balance, because he had tacitly approved of it.
Ji Sanniang was angry when she heard this: "According to what Brother Xue said, it's actually rotten from the bottom up?"
The second brother Hu who had been silent said: "Third sister, don't embarrass Brother Xue. Think about it, he is a good headhunter, why would he resign and go home? It's not ostracizing. You may not pay attention to it on weekdays.
, every time after drinking, our eldest brother also sighs and sighs. Although he wants to help justice, all he sees is injustice, and he is really powerless."
Ji Sanniang was stunned, and finally turned her expectant eyes to Yan Ling: "Second Young Master Yan, can my eldest brother still be saved?"
Yan Ling smiled: "Don't worry, Miss Ji, it's very simple to save Ke Baantou."
"Will this implicate the Second Young Master Yan? Even His Majesty doesn't want to care about it, so you..."
Yan Ling said: "I said, it's easy to save him, as long as they don't move their interest chain. I don't need to personally come forward for this matter. I only need to send someone from the East Palace to go to the Yamen, and your brother will meet him soon.
fine."
Based on his face in front of the prince, asking the East Palace to send someone to convey a message was just a matter of words.
Ji Sanniang finally felt at ease: "It would be great if I could save my eldest brother..."
Despite this, those words just now had an impact on her, and she always felt uncomfortable.
After finishing the matter, Xue Yi and others quickly left.
Before leaving, Yan Ling asked them: "What are your plans for the future?"
Ji Sanniang said: "Brother probably won't be able to do this headhunting job. Maybe we will go back to our hometown. It depends on what eldest brother decides."
Xue Yi was silent for a moment and then replied: "Xue hasn't thought about it yet. He may return to his hometown to support his mother after being away from home for a long time."
Yan Ling said: "I really can't do anything about the capital matter, but if you are willing to go to Guanzhong, I can write you a letter of recommendation. You can either join the army, or you can continue to do your job, at least you don't have to bury your skills.
"
When the others responded, Ji Sanniang was surprised: "Can I do it too?"
Yan Ling nodded and said: "Have you met Miss Xu San today? She has such a pair of brothers and sisters who are good at tracking. I am very envious, but it is a pity that I do not have such capable people. If Miss Ji
If you are willing, I can’t ask for it.”
Although Ji Sanniang is capable, she has never been able to surrender because she is a woman. Unexpectedly, Yan Ling said this, and she blurted out: "No wonder everyone says that Duke Zhao is benevolent and righteous. I met the second master of Yan today, and I know
The rumors are true."
She was already moved and went to see Xue Yi and her adopted brother again and again.
The second brother Hu also said that the three brothers and sisters have always advanced and retreated together. When the eldest brother is released from prison, they will go wherever they want.
Xue Yi hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Thank you for your kindness, sir, I will think about it again."
Yan Ling knew that he was using excuses, but he didn't care. Xue Yi was originally from the public sector. He had seen the darkness and filth, and it was normal for him to have concerns. He just made this suggestion out of love for the hero, and he wouldn't do it if the other party didn't want to.
Force.
Before leaving, Xue Yi took out the knife from his back and said: "Sir, you bought this that day, and you only have the opportunity to present it today."
Yan Ling waved her hand with a smile: "This is indeed a good knife, but I use a sword, so you can't use it if you give it to me. Don't worry about the ten thousand taels. It won't be long before they personally take care of it."
When the money is returned, not only will it be worth a penny, but there will also be a lot of interest added."
Xue Yi thought about it for a while, then didn't insist. He just said: "I won't say thank you for the great kindness. I will repay you someday if I am destined to do so."
After that, the three of them said goodbye and left.
Watching them go out, Yan Ji couldn't help but say: "Sir, this Xue Captou is too ungrateful, isn't he? He's still not willing to write a letter of recommendation yourself."
Yan Ling didn't take it seriously: "He will need it sooner or later."
"Huh?" Yan Ji was surprised, looked around and lowered his voice, "Have you thought of a way to deal with him?"
Yan Ling couldn't help but hit him and scolded him: "What are you talking about? With his temperament, can he fail like this? The world is filthy, and the clearer he is, the less he can tolerate it."
