The courtyard suddenly became quiet. Si Jingyun's face turned red with embarrassment when he saw this scene. Except for her and her cousin, all the girls in the courtyard could be regarded as Wu Zhongxian's female relatives.
Si Jingyun felt a little at a loss when she thought about this. She only came because she heard that His Majesty had an order to send Wu Zhongxian to Minshan, so she came to take care of the follow-up work of the Jianghu Department.
However, Si Jingyun was not tired of Wu Zhongxian calling him here. The latter's ability to invite him undoubtedly recognized that he was a trustworthy confidant.
But Haitang's bold move still frightened Si Jingyun. As a young girl waiting to be married, even though she had been in court for a long time, she had never seen such a scene before.
Wu Zhongxian smiled and caressed Haitang's hair, and said softly: "The reason why I only took Mo Jianqi with me this time is that besides the fact that she is originally from Minshan, there is also His Majesty's unspoken purpose."
In fact, from the moment His Majesty sent Mo Jianqi to Wu Zhongxian with the decree, he had already seen the unspoken thoughts of the Empress.
Since the empress wants to restart the Jianghu Division and regain control of the various sects and sects in the Jianghu, she cannot just stay in the capital or go out to see. And such a task can only be carried out by Wu Zhongxian among the people around the empress.
to complete.
In any case, Mo Jianqi is also a descendant of Minshan Jianlu. Just by virtue of his status in the Minshan realm, he has invisibly reduced the difficulty of Wu Zhongxian's task.
Of course, these are all Wu Zhongxian's own speculations, and there is no guarantee that the empress may have been very interested and assigned Wu Zhongxian to go on the mission with the idea that Mo Jianqi's relationship would not be used in vain.
Also, if Wu Zhongxian, as the new Jianghu Chief, leads the re-established Jianghu Sizhen to make a name for himself in Minshan, then the empress will have the confidence to argue with those veteran ministers in the court.
"Now that the Jianghu Division's reconstruction work is on the right track, I can rest assured that you and Chen Pi are watching over me in the capital." Wu Zhongxian comforted Haitang and gently stirred the latter's hair.
"Jinglan, the Jianghu Department has Chen Pi and Haitang in charge. Those young men can't cause any big trouble, but you still need to take care of them in the court." Wu Zhongxian turned to look at Si Jinglan and said with a smile.
Chen Pi and Haitang, two second-grade warriors, can be said to be among the best even in the capital. However, Jianghu Division still has to cooperate with the Six Divisions. In this regard, these two are not as good as those who were born as Ministers of the Household Division.
Si Lan was shocked.
Si Jinglan nodded, and said with a somewhat worried look: "I'm afraid His Majesty's transfer of you out of the capital this time is not as simple as it seems. The Jianghu Department has just embarked on the reconstruction work, and the manpower is not fully equipped. Now it is necessary to monitor
The distance between Minshan and Minshan is too great."
This is not in line with common sense. Si Jinglan did not say these words. Firstly, she was afraid of causing unnecessary worries to the girls present. Secondly, Wu Zhongxian was a close confidant of the Empress. His Majesty personally issued the edict. No matter what, Wu Zhongxian had to carry it out without reason.
.
"With the help of the Secret Service, I think this trip should not be a big problem." Wu Zhongxian said, and then sighed and said: "Actually, I don't know what your Majesty's intention is, but the troops will cover up the water and the earth."
, now we can only take one step and see what happens." 81Zw.????m
"I know."
A loud voice sounded from behind the women, and the person who spoke was the previously taciturn Mo Jianqi.
The girls all cast their gazes over, feeling that everyone's attention made Mo Jianqi a little embarrassed, but still said firmly: "I think this matter has something to do with me."
Si Qianyun broke away from her cousin's arms and said with a sudden realization: "If you are just guessing here, you might as well ask the real owner."
Wu Zhongxian was also stunned when he heard this. It was extremely rare for the young man to say something valuable. Indeed, as Si Qianyun said, since Mo Jianqi escaped from the Criminal Department, he had not asked what happened to this woman.
The main reason was that the empress's decree was too hasty and Wu Zhongxian was unable to take everything into consideration. According to the principle that the person who untied the bell must also tie the bell, Wu Zhongxian asked: "Before Sword Seven, you were sent to the prison of the Ministry of Justice.
What happened after that?"
When Mo Jianqi heard Wu Zhongxian's affectionate name, he felt a little uncomfortable, but he still said slowly: "They sent me to a prison full of prisoners, and the guards who guarded me were basically a bunch of weaklings.
, if I wasn’t afraid that I would implicate you after escaping from prison, I would have escaped from it long ago.”
Wu Zhongxian looked at Mo Jianqi, who was getting more and more excited as he talked, and felt that his head started to hurt again...
Escape from prison really fits this girl's character, but this is the capital of Qin! He escaped from prison at the feet of the empress, and he escaped directly from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
If this girl really does this, then the first mission the Empress gives Jianghu Division will not be to explore Minshan Mountain, but probably to go to Minshan Mountain to arrest this girl...
As Wu Zhongxian looked at Mo Jianqi, the latter was stunned for a moment and then glanced aside, quite guilty.
This made Wu Zhongxian secretly laugh in his heart: "This girl must have been frightened by Ying Zhao, so she has been squatting in the Ministry of Justice until now."
"Then, those people from the Criminal Department didn't interrogate you? After all, you were a ruthless person who killed the county envoy on the street." Wu Zhongxian finally asked without exposing Mo Jianqi.
"I did ask, but they were all insignificant things, such as where I came from, who else is in my family, etc. As for the fact that I kidnapped and killed the dog officer, I didn't mention a word." Mo Jian
Qi held his chin and said after thinking for a moment.
"Tell me, does His Majesty think that as a descendant of Minshan Jianlu, His Majesty suspects that there is some rebel organization behind me, so he sent you to Minshan to investigate?" Mo Jianqi gave his guess.
.
Wu Zhongxian and Si Jinglan shook their heads at the same time. Not to mention that Mo Jianqi did not hide his whereabouts all the way, and even left his name behind after robbing and killing court officials on the street, but any rebel organization with some brains would not do this.
Do.
Unless the hawk under King Chen Liu saw his master being captured and jumped over the wall in a hurry, he would do this. But Mo Jianqi's background was very clean and had nothing to do with King Chen Liu and his gang.
This made Wu Zhongxian stunned. It shouldn't be! This doesn't look like the empress's style of doing things. Doesn't she usually grab other people's pigtails first and then assimilate them step by step?
And this is different from what the empress said to Wu Zhongxian before. Opening her mouth and keeping silent is the law of the Qin Dynasty. She can't wait to sacrifice this girl Mo Jianqi to the sky with a sword right away.
"Think more carefully about whether you missed those details," Si Jinglan asked from the side.
Si Jinglan was very familiar with the process of interrogating prisoners by the Ministry of Justice. A gangster like Mo Jianqi who suddenly appeared in the capital would never be let go so easily.
