Ji Xiaotang lowered his eyes and nodded slightly.⊥,

"...As long as it's not now, Ayou, we need to wait for a better opportunity."

Seeing Ji Xiaotang like this, Qi Younian felt hot again and his body no longer stiff. He smiled and nodded: "Yes."

Things settled like this.

"It's getting late, Xiaotang is going back before dawn tomorrow." Qin Zhen stood up and said at this time.

Qi Younian and Ji Xiaotang met for a while, and they discussed all the major issues. There was still a lot of things to say between the two. However, both of them also knew that this place was not a place to stay for a long time.

"So, after returning to the capital, we will see you again." Qi Younian reluctantly.

Ji Xiaotang nodded.

"I still have to thank the fourth brother." Qi Younian saluted Qin Zhen again.

Qi Younian received his gift with a smile.

"Ayou grew up~ He is the mainstay of my great Qin Dynasty."

The three of them said a few words, and Qin Zhen took Ji Xiaotang away from the front door first. Qi Younian waited until their carriage disappeared at the end of the street before turning to the back of the Land Temple.

Outside the back door of the Land Temple is Cheng Dazhong.

"General." Cheng Dazhong knew the purpose of Qi Younian coming here. It was obvious that Qi Younian's face was not as happy as he expected, so he asked with concern.

Qi Younian waved his hand and told Cheng Dazhong not to ask.

"Go back." The two of them didn't ride horses, but just strode away from the Land Temple, and soon disappeared into the night.

Ji Xiaotang ran all night and returned to Yanhua Hall before dawn. After taking off her big clothes and walking into the bedroom, Ji Xiaotang showed fatigue and sat on the brocade mattress.

"County Lord..." Madam Cheng brought in a bowl of bird's nest porridge, "The county lord is tired, and after eating this and then sleeping, you can rest better."

Madam Cheng was a little worried about Ji Xiaotang. Ji Xiaotang had experienced many things from Qingyuan to the capital. But this was the first time that Madam Cheng saw such a tired look on Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang didn't feel tired, but was in her heart. She was not interested in eating at this moment, but when she looked at Madam Cheng, Jin'er and Xiu'er, she thought that Master Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er were always thinking about her, so she forced herself to take the cover bowl and slowly ate a bowl of bird's nest.

In any case, tomorrow is a new beginning. She needs to face more things.

...

The next day, Ji Xiaotang sat with Old Lady Ji in Xuanhua Hall. Not only Mrs. Ji, Mrs. Ji Er and others were there, but Yao brought Zhou Nianhong to come over and talk to Old Lady Ji.

While talking about family matters, the women asked the servant to inquire about the news.

Qi Younian has entered Beijing and has been welcomed by the people of the capital.

Xinhuatang naturally learned the news, and there was still a little servant who was fine to watch the fun and came back to say that he would listen to the masters of each hospital.

Master Ji and Master Ji Er both went to court, and today is a grand dynasty meeting. Qi Younian will appear at the court.

Not only Mrs. Ji, but also Mrs. Ji Er, wanted to know about Qi Younian, but Mrs. Ji, Mrs. Yang and Ji Xiaolian, were also very eager.

After three months of recapturing Shuzhong, in the eyes of these people who do not understand military affairs, Qi Younian has regarded him as a god-like existence.

When Daqin had such a general led his troops, they were not worried that the barbarians in the north would come and destroy their families.

A little girl kept passing messages from the front, just saying where Qi Younian was and who brought some people. Everyone was new and excited when they heard it.

However, all of this shocked them even more than the news brought back by Master Ji, Master Ji Er and Ji Xiaomu.

"...General Qi asked for an order in front of the palace. Do not add officials or rewards. Just thoroughly investigate the fraud case of the scientific investigation that year, and restore Han Kerang and the wronged sons to their innocence." Master Ji did not take off his court uniform. "≤, sitting while Mrs. Ji started, touched his beard, and told everyone the news.

"Who is Han Kejang?" Mrs. Ji asked.

Before Master Ji could answer, Ji Xiaolian had asked the second question.

"How come he asked for grace not to marry Princess Changning, but to investigate the case for this person named Han!"

Like the female family members of the Ji family, from princes and nobles to ordinary people in the capital, they were very much looking forward to Qi Younian's return and paid attention to his every move. His achievements were only one aspect, and people were still burning with a blazing gossip fire.

I don’t know when the news that Qi Younian would marry Princess Changning for military merits was already heard.

"Han Keran was originally a famous scholar in Shu, but was swept away by the rebels. Now he has abandoned the secret and turned to the light. In the battle between Shu, thanks to him and Mr. Qi, the Xiaomao of Qi, who cooperated with him inside and outside." Ji Xiaomu said, talking about this matter quite relish.

"The little marquis is not an ordinary man. I want to investigate the old case for Han Kerang, instead of having a love affair with his children, and asking for a princess. This move must be great." Master Ji touched his beard and shook his head to comment. "This move not only shows that he values ​​righteousness and promises, but also wins the hearts of scholars all over the world."

"What will he do if he is a general, please win the hearts of the people in the world?" Ji Xiaolian said sharply.

Master Ji frowned slightly and looked at Ji Xiaolian with a stern look.

Ji Xiaolian subconsciously leaned towards Mrs. Ji, pursed her lips and stopped talking.

"After General Qi, Prince An immediately agreed." Master Ji Er spoke at this time.

Master Ji nodded, not knowing whether it was to confirm Mr. Ji's words or something else.

Although Ji Xiaolian was glared by Master Ji, she only remembered one thing in her heart. Seeing that Master Ji's expression calmed down, she couldn't help but ask again.

"Then, the marriage between the little marquis and the princess?"

"You are a girl, but you are a little knowledgeable and short-sighted. Why should you worry about this kind of thing? The little marquis has such achievements and has won praise, and you are still worried that you won't marry a princess to enter the house!" Master Ji smiled while touching his beard.

"Oh, so that's it. I'm still crying this time." Ji Xiaolian seemed to be relieved, but her eyes fell on Ji Xiaotang's face intentionally or unintentionally.

Ji Xiaotang looked back at Ji Xiaolian with a faint expression.

Ji Xiaolian's eyes flashed, and she quickly withdrew her gaze and stopped looking at Ji Xiaotang.

"Did the emperor and the empress agree?" asked Mrs. Ji Er.

"The Empress Dowager and His Majesty have issued an order, and King An is responsible, General Qi assists in thoroughly investigating the old case of that year." Mr. Ji Er replied, "For this matter, the Empress Dowager and His Majesty specially postponed the selection of female officials by one month."

Master Ji shook his head and refused to speak.

"It seems that the emperor and the empress attach great importance to this matter." Mrs. Ji said.

"After a while, I'm afraid the court will be in peace." Master Ji narrowed his eyes slightly and sighed.

As he was talking, a servant came in to report that it was the mansion of Yang Ge Lao who beat someone to pass the message and asked Master Ji to go through the mansion for something.

Just now, several cabinet masters were left behind. Yang Ge Lao beat someone and sent a message, and he must have returned to the cabinet master's mansion.

At this time, Master Yang Ge looked for Master Ji, thinking that he was going to thoroughly investigate the old case. Master Ji did not dare to neglect, so he stood up and said goodbye to Mrs. Ji and went all the way.

Master Ji left, Mrs. Ji also stood up, everyone said goodbye and left Xuanhua Hall.

Seeing that Master Ji Er was worried, Ji Xiaotang was about to ask for details, so she followed Master Ji Er to the study room of Jinghuatang.

After sitting down, the servant brought tea and retreated.

Ji Xiaotang asked Master Ji Er: "Why are Daddy so depressed?"

"Today, Ayou counts Han Kejang's achievements in detail. The emperor and the empress wanted to reward Han Kejang, but Han Kejang refused." Otherwise, everyone should call him Lord Han at this moment.

"Why?"

"Han Kerang said that if he did not investigate the old case, he could not restore his innocence. He could not be so at ease to be this official."

Han Kerang was indeed worried about the past and lost his life in his previous life.∮,

Master Ji Er talked about the story in detail.

It turned out that Qi Younian filed a military order and demanded grace. The emperor and the empress were still very happy and were looking forward to Qi Younian asking for a marriage to Changning, but Qi Younian insisted on investigating the old case.

There was nothing on Queen Mother Han's face, but Emperor Longqing changed color slightly.

The emperor and the empress tried to persuade Qi Younian to give up this request. Many years have passed, and the case is as strong as a mountain, so it is useless to file it again. The empress also promised Han Ke that a high-ranking official would be generous.

"The Empress Dowager and Your Majesty are unwilling to investigate this case." Ji Xiaotang's eyes were deep.

"Yes."

But Han Kerang refused to accept the official position, and as long as he proved his innocence, Qi Younian also firmly sought favors, and Qin Zhen then stepped forward to discuss...

"The emperor and the empress had to agree, but limited the deadline to one month." If the truth cannot be found in this month, no one will be allowed to mention this matter again from now on.

"Only one month?" Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but open his eyes wide.

Such a major old case may not be able to find out the truth even if it is investigated for one or half a year. But now, Empress Dowager Han and Emperor Longqing have only given one month.

This is clearly not allowing Qin Zhen and Qi Younian to investigate the case.

"The emperor and the empress also have their own difficulties. The matters back then were too involved. At this time, we will investigate again. After all, the government and the country were shaking up and down." Master Ji Er sighed.

This is also true. In the current situation, the calmness of the court and the opposition will definitely have an impact on the situation in the Qin Dynasty. However...

"Even if it is shocking, it is better than tolerating evil spirits. Getting rid of the old and new, the Qin Dynasty needs some new atmosphere." Not to mention let innocent people suffer the grievances, and those who are guilty and deceive the world and steal the reputation are punished as they deserve.

Those people are like cancers from the court. The sooner they are removed, the better, rather than letting them continue to grow for stability.

"Fortunately, we have started the investigation secretly..." Master Ji Er said again, and he found out some clues so that everything would not start from scratch.

"But now that the investigation has moved from the dark to the open, I don't know what kind of resistance will be encountered."

And things were just as Ji Xiaotang expected.
