After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

Since ancient times, there have been special envoys personally protected by the Dragon Scale Guards. No matter how high their official rank, any official they meet must kneel and salute.

Anyone who dares to defy the special envoy is tantamount to defying the supreme imperial power.

The crime of exiling the entire family to a remote frontier was considered a minor one.

Chang Sun Shang knelt down hurriedly upon seeing the situation, and the others followed him.

Although they didn't know who was coming, since Chang Sun Shang had bowed his head, what reason did they have not to bow their heads?

"Except Lord Changsun and City Lord Mo, everyone else please stand." Yuan Qing said calmly.

Her goal this time was Chang Sun Shang and Mo Si. She wanted to get rid of these two biggest cancers. The rest were just a group of rabble.

Just leave it to Wen Beixu to handle it afterwards, there is no need for her to do it herself.

Yuan Qing signaled, and four Dragon Scale Guards pinned Chang Sun Shang and Mo Si to the ground.

Chang Sun Shang immediately struggled and cried out in grievance: "I am a second-rank official in the court. Why did the envoy humiliate me for no reason?"

"Do Lord Changsun and City Lord Mo recognize this?" Yuan Qing took out a booklet.

When Chang Sun Shang and Mo Si saw clearly what was in her hand, their pupils shrank sharply.

How come the account book is in this kid's hands?

Yuan Qing pursed his lips and deliberately showed one page of the account book to Changsun Shang, "Master Changsun, please take a good look at it. This records all the events since you arrived in North City two years ago.

Secret prostitution, the sale of official titles and human beings, the acceptance of bribes in the name of the court, the embezzlement of treasury funds, the private establishment of gambling houses... every single thing was recorded in detail. "

"For no reason?" She slowly squatted in front of Changsun Shang, her dark eyes deep, "Master Changsun is so bold, you must have stayed in North City for too long and forgot who gave you this glory?

Or, Master Changsun wants to sit on it himself..."

Upon hearing this, Chang Sun Shang struggled hard, his teeth chattering, his face full of hatred, "You villain, you slandered me for no reason, I don't accept it! I want to see His Majesty!"

Mo Si, who was standing aside, had no other reaction except for the previous shock and remained quiet throughout the whole process.

Yuan Qing turned his gaze to him again, "City Lord Mo, are you waiting for Knight Kuang?"

Mo Si looked up in surprise.

Yuan Qing continued: "Bring the person up."

Officers and soldiers came in from the door one after another, escorting several people.

Most of these people were dug out by the previous man. They were all close confidants of Mo Si who had followed him for many years and knew a lot of his secrets.

Only a few witnesses who were not too important appeared here. As for the rest of the more important ones, she had already sent people to protect them to prevent them from being killed by the remaining forces of Mo Si.

We were able to catch them all in one fell swoop thanks to Lu Mu.

"Does City Lord Mo recognize these people?"

Mo Si stared at those people viciously but still didn't say a word.

Yuan Qing blocked his view and said, "If you don't say anything, does that mean you know each other?"

She threw the book in her hand to Wen Beixu and said, "I'll give it to you."

Wen Beixu flipped through a few pages at random, anger boiling over.

What a loyal and patriotic Chang Sun Shang is! He serves his country and his people!

He had been leading troops outside for many years, but he had no idea that his eldest grandson was so ambitious!

“If there is no problem, put them in jail first and don’t let them escape.

Especially Mo Si, he has been doing business in North City for many years and has a lot of connections. "

An hour and a half had passed, and Yuan Yi might have reached his limit, so she had to fight quickly and decisively.

Wen Beixu said solemnly: "Don't worry, my lord. I will keep a close watch on him."

After thinking about it, Yuan Qing was still a little worried.

However, since the matter has been handed over to Wen Beixu, she has no reason to interfere in it.

After all, her responsibility was only to assist in the investigation, not to interrogate.

Witnesses, physical evidence, and victim testimonies are all ready. If nothing goes wrong, the case can be closed in about a month.

It was the time when the mourning period was over and everyone in the capital gathered together.

If the issue in North City is not resolved before then, with so many princes gathering in the capital and joining forces from both inside and outside, who knows what might happen.

What I am most worried about now is the people hiding outside.

In order to return to Beijing smoothly, we have to ask our brothers in the dark to be more careful.

Yuan Qing had already revealed his identity, so he naturally could not continue to live in the inn with a lower security level, so he packed his bags and moved into the luxurious post house overnight.

But she waited until midnight and Yuan Yi still didn't come back.

I hope something has happened.

Just as he was about to leave, Yuan Yi stumbled in, "Master..."

Yuan Qing immediately dragged him to the bed and said, "I'll go get a doctor for you."

Yuan Yi hurriedly grabbed her and said, "No, I'm just a little tired. I just need to rest for a night."

After saying this, he fell asleep.

Yuan Qing gently lifted his collar and took a quick look at other parts of his body.

There were no obvious external injuries, just a few bruises.

This Kuang Ce was too cruel!

Since he said no, let's wait one night and see how things go tomorrow.

"Someone come here." Yuan Qing shouted to the outside of the door, "Prepare a basin of cold water and add some ice cubes."

"Yes." The maid outside the door responded.

In a short period of time, using cold water is most effective in removing blood stasis.

Yuan Qing lowered the bed curtain to cover Yuan Yi's figure.

Soon the maid brought the water and asked considerately, "Does the master need my servant to serve you?"

Yuan Qing said hurriedly: "No, I can do it myself, you can go out."

The little maid smiled.

This was the first time she had seen such a shy big shot in the capital.

Yuan Qing has no mood to appreciate beauty now. If the bruises on his body don't disappear in time, he might not be able to get out of bed tomorrow.

She carefully removed his upper body clothing, turned around, wet the cloth, and rubbed it on the little guard's wound.

Repeat this process several times to help blood flow and remove blood stasis, then apply the medicine.

But what about below?

Yuan Qing stared at the person in the darkness worriedly.

She couldn't just pick it up with her hands, that would be too embarrassing.

After much thought, she came up with a compromise.

Untie the trouser legs and roll them up to the knees.

Yuan Qing took the oil lamp and took a closer look. He saw a purple and black area on the front of his calf. It could no longer be described as a minor injury.

She felt both guilty and angry.

Knowing that Kuang Ce would not hold back on his strength, why did they let him go alone? It would have been better to send a few more people to help him.

This naive guy, if he can't win, he won't just run away. He can just walk around in circles, right? It's better to walk around the North City with him than to be injured all over.

He cursed Kuang Ce harshly in his heart, but his hands did not stop.

Her hands were sore from massaging, so she threw the cloth back into the basin and picked up the bottle to apply medicine on him.

After applying it, Yuan Qing lay down beside the bed and took a nap.

The medicine is sticky and cannot be rubbed off by other things, otherwise the efficacy of the medicine will be lost. Not only will half a night's hard work be wasted, but it will also have no effect.

She just sat and waited.

Yuan Yi also lay on the bed with his clothes open all night.

He was awakened by the cold.

The morning mist filled the room, bringing with it the cool morning breeze, blowing against Yuan Yi's open chest, making him shiver with cold.

He sat up slowly, and the dried white medicine residue fell to the ground with his movement.

He broke off a piece from his body and put it to his nose to sniff it, "Is this... medicine?"

Yuan Qing, who was lying on the edge of the bed, grumbled when he heard the noise, then turned his head and fell asleep again.

Only then did Yuan Yi notice the person beside the bed.

He didn't care about his messy appearance and got out of bed to pick the person up.

He pulled the quilt to the ground, and Yuan Qing lay in his arms. Feeling the warmth, she rubbed her cheek against his chest a few times and fell into a deeper sleep.

As the soft hair brushed past him, Yuan Yi's arms suddenly tensed up.
