The carriage stopped near Jing's house, Jing Tianlie got off the carriage, Bai Qiulian opened the curtain and waved goodbye.
Jing Tianlie got on his mount and led a dozen soldiers to the gate of the mansion.
The soldiers knocked on the door. When the servant opened the door and saw Jing Tianlie coming back, he immediately reported to Sun.
Bai Qiulian sat on the carriage and watched Jing Tianlie enter the house from a distance, then reluctantly went back.
Jing Tianlie entered the mansion, and the whole house was filled with joy, because the gloom of Jing Heng's dismissal from office was swept away.
When Mrs. Sun saw Jing Tianlie, she said happily: "Master, why didn't you tell me in advance when you came back?"
"Go and call the young master! He has been hiding in the study all day long!"
The servant immediately entered the study room in the backyard, and Jing Heng quickly ran out happily.
"Dad, you are finally back, that dead eunuch..."
Jing Heng came up and wanted to complain, but was stopped by Jing Tianlie's cold eyes.
"You bastard, I'll deal with you later!"
Jing Tianlie's first sentence was to curse, which made Jing Heng swallow the words back in his throat.
Sun gave Jing Heng a look, and Jing Heng immediately lowered his head and backed away.
Jing Tianlie went into the house and took off his armor, then entered the backyard and met his old mother Xu first.
Jing Tianlie was a filial son, everyone said so.
Outside the door, the imperial doctor from the Imperial Hospital came and said that he was here to treat Mrs. Xu. Sun said, "The old lady is in good health. What kind of disease are you seeing?"
The imperial doctor looked confused and didn't want to ask more questions, so he had to leave the mansion.
After greeting the old lady, Jing Tianlie sat in the main hall, Sun sat next to him, and Jing Heng stood in the middle. All the servants in the family stood and greeted Jing Tianlie together.
After the etiquette was completed, Sun asked everyone to step aside, leaving only Jing Heng standing in the middle.
Jing Heng lowered his head, waiting for Jing Tianlie to scold him.
"A good minister of the Ministry of Revenue is lost in your hands, and so many shortcomings are found out. Where do you want me, Jing Tianlie, to put my face?"
Jing Tianlie started to curse.
Jing Heng lowered his head and defended: "Those losses were not all caused by my hands."
The household department was previously managed by others, and most of the deficits occurred in the past. Jing Heng is right to say so.
Jing Tianlie was furious: "Then why did you lose the household department?"
Jing Heng argued: "It's all the fault of the eunuch Long Chengen who died. The accounts I did were fine, but he invented a new accounting method and turned the household department upside down."
When Mrs. Sun saw Jing Tianlie scolding him fiercely, she defended him: "Sir, Heng'er can't be entirely blamed for this. He just stepped in and the accounts were done as usual. It's all the fault of Long Chengen's meddling."
Jing Tianlie said dissatisfied: "A loving mother often loses her son, because you indulged him. When he was a child, he said that practicing martial arts was too tiring, so you didn't let him practice martial arts. He said that studying was too hard, and you didn't let him study."
"Now look what you have become! What a waste!"
Jing Heng was used to being scolded and was not interested in these words.
He also heard that Jing Tianlie was getting angry.
Jing Heng said: "Dad, as long as we kill that Long Chengen, everything will be normal."
"The Ministry of Accounts now has a lot of money. As long as we regain control of the Ministry of Accounts, we can make as much money as we want."
Jingtian Liedanfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and Jing Heng was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head.
"Okay, sir, everyone is happy to have you back. Let's go have dinner."
Mrs. Sun winked, and Jing Heng quickly walked out in despair.
"It's just you who condone it."
Jing Tianlie got up dissatisfied and went to the courtyard where he was eating.
Mrs. Sun later ordered her servants to prepare a study room for Jing Tianlie and change the bedding in the bedroom.
A middle-aged woman with buck teeth came over. This person was Sun's personal maid Pomegranate.
"Madam, I just came back from the carriage with Bai Qiulian. They started from the entrance of the palace and went all the way to the outside."
Pomegranate whispered.
Sun's expression immediately changed, and she cursed: "You bitch, you don't want to be shy, your daughter can get married, and she still hooks up with other people's men!"
"I still want to marry my daughter to my son. What a dream! If a mother is immoral, she will give birth to a little bitch!"
"Then Li Junjun is also a loser. He can't control his own woman stealing a man!"
Li Junjun is Bai Qiulian's cuckold husband.
Seeing that Mrs. Sun was scolding too loudly, Shiliu hurriedly said, "Madam, the master is here."
Sun was very angry, but she didn't dare to let Jing Tianlie hear it, so she had to swallow her anger.
....
The news of Jing Tianlie's sudden return to the court spread quickly throughout the capital, and everyone had a premonition that a storm was coming.
One is a general, and the other is a genius eunuch. Everyone is waiting to see who will win.
....
Qiuxing Hall.
Long Chen wrote a letter and sealed it carefully.
"Send it to Sifanglou and hand it over to Hong Qi."
Zhang Qian took the letter and quietly left the palace.
Xuan Yi and Qing Yue were with Long Chen in the room, and they were also worried about Long Chen's safety.
"I heard that the assassination in Hubu was secretly ordered by Jing Heng."
When Xuan Yi talked about the previous assassination, his tone was solemn.
Qingyue also said: "According to that man's appearance and methods, he looks a lot like Squid under Jing Tianlie."
They knew a little bit about the assassins of the Jing family, but it was useless to know.
The so-called catching thieves and stolen goods means that if you didn't catch the cuttlefish, even if you knew it was Jing Heng who ordered it, you couldn't do anything to him.
"If we haven't caught anyone, we won't talk about what happened last time."
"Jing Tianlie is back today, I guess it's time for Bai Qiulian to take action tomorrow."
"Forget it, go to sleep."
Long Chen hung his coat and clothes on the rack, while Xuan Yi and Qing Yue had already gotten into bed.
"Here, in the middle!"
Xuan Yi pointed to the middle seat enthusiastically.
Long Chen lay in the middle very cooperatively.
There is a hot kang underneath, and there are young beauties on both sides. This winter is not cold at all.
"What are you doing? Holding me so tightly?"
Xuan Yi and Qing Yue hugged Long Chen tightly with their four jade hands, and their four jade legs were like old vines wrapped around a tree.
Long Chen felt like he couldn't breathe.
"The princess said, let us protect you and hug you tightly even when you sleep. We will do what the princess tells you."
As she said that, Qingyue's hands tightened a little more.
"I feel like I've already died in your clutches before Jing Tianlie takes action."
Long Chen's hands and feet were hugged, like a rice dumpling.
"What nonsense are you talking about? We are here to protect you."
Xuanyi chuckled.
Long Chen said: "Without your protection like this, you are like loaches now. If an assassin comes, you still have to put on your clothes. I would have died long ago."
Not to mention, the skin of both of them is smooth, soft and slippery.
"Stop talking and sleep well."
Qingyue didn't care so much, she hugged her tightly and wouldn't let go.
When Long Chen was sleeping in a daze, Zhang Qian came in from outside.
Seeing Long Chen hugging him from left to right, Zhang Qian felt like she had no place of her own.
"Damn Sedum."
Zhang Qian cursed.
If Jing Tianlie hadn't caused trouble, Xuan Yi and Qing Yue would have stayed vigil at the princess's place, and no one would have fought against them for Long Chen.
After getting hot water and washing up, Zhang Qian had no choice but to sleep next to Qingyue.
Early the next morning, Xiang Ning knocked on the door outside.
Zhang Qian heard the sound, put on her clothes and got up, and asked through the door: "What's going on?"
Xiang Ning said: "The Secretary of the Metropolitan Procuratorate came to send a message, asking Mr. Long to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to cooperate in the investigation of General Shui Han's case."
Zhang Qian frowned and cursed in a deep voice: "Is it finally here?"
