Chapter 130 Give the Empress Dowager a handle

Luo Yu began to think about it, and after a while he said again: "Queen Mother, I do have a good idea."

"Oh? What ideas do you have?" The Queen Mother was a little surprised.

"The memorial admonishing the hundreds of families to gather under Jixia was sent by Prime Minister Han Shen. In this case, the queen mother might as well let this Jiang Yu'er persuade the families of the hundreds of families first. If he can't do it, the queen mother will have nothing to lose.

The reason is to convict Jiang Yuer and Prime Minister Han Shen together? In this case, the courtiers will naturally have nothing to say."

"This is... a good idea." The Queen Mother's eyes lit up. After all, you need a reason to punish Han Shen: "However, I want to think about it again, so you should step aside first."

"OK."

Luo Yu stopped trying to persuade him and immediately withdrew.

Just as Luo Yu exited the hall, a palace maid's voice sounded at the door.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, Duke Di is asking for an audience!"

"Duke Dee?"

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment. It was already dusk at this time. According to common sense, it was impossible for Judge Dee to visit him at this time, unless there was something particularly urgent.

Could it be that the place where Yinghuo Shouxin came has been found?

The Queen Mother's heart tightened, and she immediately said: "Please invite Mr. Di."



After a while.

Judge Dee, wearing black court clothes, walked in.

As soon as he came in, he bowed to the Queen Mother and said, "My lord, pay my respects to the Queen Mother."

"Mr. Di and I have known each other since childhood. There are no outsiders in Ganquan Palace now. Mr. Di... why bother with such false courtesy?" The Queen Mother motioned to Mr. Di to get up.

Duke Dee nodded and stood up, with an expression of sadness and self-blame on his face: "I came here specifically to apologize to the Queen Mother this time."

"Excuse me? What is Mr. Dee's crime?"

"Five days ago, I sent the legacy gold flag 'Yan Yu' out of the capital to find the place where Yinghuo Shouxin came, and just now a flying pigeon sent a message, Yan Yu... has been loyal to the country."

"What?" The Queen Mother suddenly stood up: "A golden flag died? I know this Yan Yu is a martial artist in the Fourth Realm. It stands to reason that even people from the Fifth Realm would find it extremely difficult to kill him. Moreover, Night Detective

Si still has his own power outside, who can kill Yan Yu?"

"According to the judgment of the person who sent the message, the other party is probably a wizard from the Southern Region!" Duke Dee replied.

"The Wizard of the Southern Territory?!" The Queen Mother was shocked again: "How is this possible? How could the Wizard of the Southern Territory appear in my area of ​​Great Qin?"

Judge Di was silent for a moment and told Jiang Erlang that he had discovered that the wizard from the Southern Region had appeared in Baishi Village.

The Queen Mother listened to Duke Dee's report carefully, and her face became increasingly unhappy.

After reporting what happened, Duke Di knelt down again: "Actually, it has been ten days since this incident happened. I have been secretly investigating, but I didn't find it. Now, let this southern wizard be in the big city."

I am guilty of causing chaos, please punish me!"

There was a hint of sadness on the Queen Mother's face: "When Judge Dee apologizes for the second time...is he blaming me for being ruthless?"

"I...don't dare!" Duke Di gritted his teeth.

The Queen Mother shook her head: "Please invite Mr. Di. In fact, no one can connect the appearance of the wizard in the southern region with the arrival of Yinghuo Shouxin. Now is the time when the country is about to survive. Mr. Di...

…You must help me, okay?”

"I will do my best." Judge Dee stood up.

"Okay, I trust Mr. Di. I wonder what Mr. Di can do next? If the wizard from the southern region really gets the 'Sky Stone' from Yinghuo Shouxin, then I am afraid that our Great Qin will be destroyed.

!”

"I am willing to go there in person!"

"No." The Queen Mother shook her head: "Now that public opinion is spreading in the capital, I'm afraid there will be chaos. No matter what, we must stabilize the situation in the capital first. I can't do without you now."

"In that case, I...recommend someone to handle this case!"

"Oh? Who does Mr. Di want to recommend? It can't be Ji Ruxue, right? Mr. Di should know Ji Ruxue's identity. If it is something else, Ji Ruxue will naturally have no problem, but this matter..."

"I understand." Duke Di nodded: "The person I recommend is not Ji Ruxue, but the newly promoted Yinqi of the Night Detective Division - Jiang Erlang!"

"Jiang Erlang?" The Queen Mother said thoughtfully: "Is it the Jiang Erlang who handled the case of Marquis Lexin in Ruyifang last time that Mr. Di was talking about?"

"Exactly! This Jiang Erlang solved several cases in Huai'an County, and even found the disaster relief money that was robbed in just one day. I have tested him. This man has a sharp mind and great wisdom. But

You are worthy of this responsibility!" Duke Dee replied seriously.

"With Mr. Dee's comments like this, I really want to meet him." The Queen Mother smiled.

Judge Dee naturally understood what the Queen Mother meant.

After all, this matter is related to the rise and fall of the country. If a silver flag wants to shoulder such an important task, it still needs to be seen by the Queen Mother before she can decide.

So, he immediately replied: "A silver flag, if the Queen Mother can see it in person, she will definitely be grateful!"

"Haha, the Night Detective Department is directly under the imperial power and is independent of the six departments. But now that Your Majesty is not in charge, I can only do more work." After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she looked at Mr. Di seriously: "My Majesty

To this day, I still remember how Qi'er ascended to the throne in the first place. Without Duke Di, my mother and son would not be sitting in the court today."

"I will swear allegiance to Your Majesty and the Queen Mother to the death!"

"Alas, you are still... too polite. There are no outsiders here." The Queen Mother sighed: "That's all, Xuanjiang Erlang enters the palace."

"Yes." Judge Dee took a step back.



The Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Liang Wan'er, who was wearing a green dress, came as a guest today with two boxes of exquisite snacks.

Ji Ruxue naturally would not forget Erlang, so she invited Erlang to taste it together, which made Liang Wan'er's face not very pretty.

Jiang Chaoge (Jiang Erlang) ate a few more pieces in front of Liang Wan'er.

“This snack tastes really good!”

"Of course, these are Yongfangzhai's snacks. I managed to get two boxes with great difficulty. You should eat less. I prepared these for Sister Ji."

Liang Wan'er was heartbroken and pulled the snack in front of Ji Ruxue with one hand.

Ji Ruxue smiled and pushed the snack back to Jiang Chaoge: "If Erlang likes to eat, just eat more. It doesn't matter."

"Hmph!" Liang Waner turned her head to one side: "You are a vulgar martial artist. I don't know what Sister Ji sees in you. She even let you live in the palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Jiang Chaoge ignored Liang Wan'er and just tasted the snacks on his own.

Ji Ruxue also picked up a piece of snack and took a bite: "Gong Di has entered the palace. Can Erlang guess the reason why Duke Di has entered the palace this time?"

"I can't guess." Jiang Chaoge shook his head.

"I heard something happened to Jinqi Yanyu..." Ji Ruxue said again.

Did something happen? Jiang Chaoge was stunned for a moment, and then he understood: "So, when Di Gong enters the palace this time, he wants to recommend someone to replace Jin Qi Yanyu?"

Ji Ruxue did not answer Jiang Chaoge's question, but continued: "Duke Di and the Queen Mother have known each other since childhood. If Erlang has the opportunity to meet the Queen Mother, he should be more respectful."

Did Duke Dee and the Queen Mother know each other since childhood? Are they childhood sweethearts?

Jiang Chaoge gave Ji Ruxue a serious look... Does this mean he wants to tell me that Mr. Di is the Queen Mother's son? But why do you want to tell me this all of a sudden?

"What are Sister Ji talking about? He is a small copper flag and a vulgar warrior, how can the Queen Mother summon him?" Liang Waner blinked at the side.

"It's the silver flag!" Jiang Chaoge corrected.

"Okay, okay, it's a silver flag, but so what?" Liang Waner rolled her eyes at Jiang Chaoge: "Will the Queen Mother summon a silver flag? Let alone a silver flag, even a gold flag is difficult to see the Queen Mother.

, However, Mr. Jiang is different. He was summoned by the Queen Mother as soon as he entered the capital. You didn’t know that, right?"

"I don't know, when?"

"As you wish, you were there that day." Liang Wan'er squinted her eyes and smiled: "We both entered the capital from Huai'an County, so you arrived earlier than Mr. Jiang, right?"

"It seems that Miss Wan'er really likes my brother Jiang Yu'er. Unfortunately, Jiang Yu'er has Cai Wenji by his side, and I heard that he has won the favor of the third princess." Jiang Chaoge replied: "By the way, I am today

In the afternoon, I saw Jiang Yuer and the third princess entering the Prime Minister's Mansion together."

"You...what are you talking about? Mr. Jiang and the third princess went to the Prime Minister's Mansion together?" Liang Waner obviously didn't know about this.

"Yes, Miss Wan'er, think about it, this Jiang Yu'er has no friendship with Lord Xiangguo, why would he meet with the third princess at this time?"

"Why...why?"

"That's stupid, this is obviously asking Mr. Xiangguo to act as a matchmaker between the two of them!"

"That's nonsense, how is it possible?" Liang Waner didn't believe it.

Jiang Chaoge spread his hands: "You may not believe it, but my guesses are always accurate. Miss Wan'er should know, right?"

"..." Liang Wan'er stopped talking.

She had to admit that Jiang Erlang was really a 'good guesser'.

At least, so far, she has never seen Jiang Erlang guess wrong.

Although there was no basis for this matter, she still felt a little sad in her heart.

Jiang Chaoge looked at Liang Wan'er, then at Ji Ruxue, and after thinking for a while, he added: "If my guess is right, Jiang Yu'er will soon be supported by the Prime Minister and officially enter the court. Then, Jiang Yu'er will

Yu'er and the third princess are likely to travel together and make their relationship public."

"I don't believe it!" Liang Waner gritted her teeth: "What can you, a vulgar warrior, know about court?"

"How about making a bet?"

"Okay, what do you want to bet on?"

"If I win, you will be my maid for three months, how about that?"

"This..." Liang Waner hesitated, but still said stubbornly: "Then what if you lose?"

"You set the conditions."

"Okay, then I want you to be my servant for three months... you can be beaten and scolded at will. And... you have to find a way to transfer my cousin back to the capital."

"Haha, I didn't expect that Miss Wan'er is still a person who thinks about the family? Well, I promise you, if I lose, I will let Liang Pingan go to Beijing."

"make a deal!"

"..."

The two were chatting.

An announcement came from the door of the small courtyard.

"Your Highness the Princess, the Queen Mother has summoned Jiang Yinqi!"

"Is it him?" Liang Waner's little mouth suddenly opened wide: "Are you sure you heard correctly? The Queen Mother summoned not Sister Ji, but this martial artist?"

"This slave can hear you clearly. The eunuch who delivered the message is right outside the door."

"Ah?" Liang Wan'er couldn't believe it.

Jiang Chaoge seemed to understand. He looked at Ji Ruxue: "Miss Ji, then I'm going to see the Queen Mother."

"Well, go ahead." Ji Ruxue nodded: "Erlang just needs to remember what I just said to you."

"Okay, I understand." Jiang Chaoge nodded.

The meaning is so obvious!

Let him be loyal to the Queen Mother!

Jiang Chaoge thought in his heart and already had an idea. He decided to give the Queen Mother a "handle".



Two quarters of an hour later.

In the main hall of Ganquan Palace.

Jiang Chaoge walked in cautiously.

In the palace, there were only the Queen Mother, Duke Di, and two maids.

So, Jiang Chaoge lowered his head and paid his courtesy to the Queen Mother: "Your Majesty, Jiang Erlang, Yinqi of the Night Detective Division, has met the Queen Mother and met Duke Di."

"Yes, the person recommended by Duke Di is indeed of extraordinary bearing." The Queen Mother looked at Jiang Chaoge seriously and nodded: "Jiang Yinqi, please get up."

"Thank you, Queen Mother, and thank you, Duke Di." Jiang Chaoge stood up.

The Queen Mother said: "I am calling you here this time because I want you to investigate a case. Jin Qi Yanyu was originally responsible for this case, but he has already served the country with all his loyalty. Do you have the guts to take on this case?"

?”

"I swear to be loyal to the Queen Mother and to Your Majesty to the death." Jiang Chaoge immediately replied.

"Then please let Mr. Di and Jiang Yinqi talk."

"good."

Judge Dee nodded and told what happened.

Jiang Chaoge understood it after listening to it.

He was actually asked to find the ‘Sky Stone’ that Yinghuo Shouxin had descended from, and it also involved the wizards of the Southern Territory. It could be said that a ‘thousand-pound burden’ was placed on him.

Seeing Jiang Chaoge's silence, the Queen Mother asked again: "I heard that Jiang Yinqi once killed a wizard from the Southern Region in Baishi Village on his way to Beijing?"

"Yes."

Jiang Chaoge nodded and told the story of killing the wizard from the Southern Region in Baishi Village.

After listening to this, the Queen Mother's expression gradually became soothed: "Jiang Yinqi is indeed the pillar of our Great Qin. No wonder Guild Di personally recommended it. Since you are already familiar with the methods of the wizards in the Southern Region, I will leave this case to you to investigate."

, please Jiang Yinqi must get the 'Sky Stone', you should understand that this matter is related to the national destiny of my country, Great Qin!"

"I understand, it's just..." Jiang Chaoge hesitated.

"Just what?" asked the Queen Mother.

"To be honest with the Queen Mother, my father was framed by an adulterer a year ago. He is now in prison and will be executed soon... As a son of a human being, I am currently in a state of confusion and it is really difficult to concentrate on handling the case...

"

When Jiang Chaoge said this, he stopped talking and just glanced at the Queen Mother secretly.

The Queen Mother's expression froze obviously, and she looked... a little angry, but in fact, the corners of her mouth moved inadvertently.

Making conditions at this time?

How is this different from blackmail?

If it were in the past, the Queen Mother would definitely scold him directly.

But this time, the Queen Mother was not angry. Not only was she not angry, but she was very happy, because only a person with a "handle" could control it better.
