Prostitution

It can be said that after Xu Jingyun took over Dali Temple, he devoted himself to his responsibilities, and none of the unresolved cases during the prince's reign was settled, among which the case of He Pingzhang was the most difficult.

But the strange thing is that with the resignation of the prince, He Pingzhang has never been seen again, and no news about him can be found even in the world.

If He Pingzhang washes his hands in the golden basin, it will probably only become an unsolved case.

The young emperor had a leisurely life. He went to court every morning, listened to the watch, and only asked about the progress of the criminal case, and even the people's livelihood.

Sit on the dragon chair for the king, and protect the prudence of the minister, the world is peaceful, rivers, seas, and Yan are all happy.

Xu Jingyun felt vaguely uneasy about slurring his words, but that was all. After all, there was nothing wrong with the harmony between the monarch and his ministers in the court.

However, recently, it was rumored that a group of people attacked the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice at night, but Qu Tongyin did not say anything to him about it.He didn't like the fact that wind is rain, so he asked Qu Tongyin about it.

Now he has become a frequent visitor to Qu Mansion, staying overnight every three or two days.He could feel that the family respected Mr. Qu, as if he was... his son-in-law?There is no politeness at the dinner table, and there is no shyness in conversation, just like... a family.

Xu Jingyun secretly rejoiced.

After dinner, the two were enjoying the cool air in the flower pavilion, chatting casually about trivial matters.

Suddenly hearing a clear cough, Qu Lao walked over waddlingly with his hands behind his back.

The two stood up at the same time.

"father."

"Qu..." Xu Jingyun opened his mouth slightly to salute.

Elder Qu coughed again, shook his hand, and smiled at him, "What is it, you can also be called Daddy."

The two looked at each other, Qu Tongyin burst out laughing, Xu Jingyun's face was on fire with embarrassment, he hesitated for a while, and obediently called Dad in a low voice.

Elder Qu couldn't help nodding his head in satisfaction, pointing to the seat to signal the two of them to sit down.

Apparently Qu always came with something on his mind, and he got to the point after a while.

"Someone broke into the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice at night before. Is this matter settled?"

Qu Tongyin didn't answer immediately, and Xu Jingyun paid attention silently with his ears pricked up.

Elder Qu went on to say, "I heard from Eunuch Zhao that Commander Xiao Hexiao has been missing for some time without any reason. The subordinates have lost their backbone and are in a mess. The emperor is busy with state affairs. One of you is in charge of the Ministry of Punishment and the other is in charge of Dali Temple. Is it possible that the Ministry of Rites must be in charge?" The adults from the Ministry of Finance went to Commander Xiao?"

The two looked at each other, both lowered their heads at the same time, speechless.

"You can find people slowly," Mr. Qu said with a slightly serious expression, "The security of the palace must not be messed up."

"Yes, tomorrow I will ask the emperor to choose Luke to lead the imperial army first. He has been the left guard for many years, so he must be able to take on this important task." Qu Tongyin has already made up his mind.

Mr. Qu thought for a moment, nodded in agreement, chatted a few more trivial words, and left to leave the two of them alone.

"It's true, why didn't you tell me?" Xu Jingyun asked first after they were silent for a while.

"A few little thieves robbed the prison without any plan and no rules. There is nothing to lose. It doesn't matter if you don't mention it. The martial law will be strengthened in the future." Qu Tongyin said calmly.

Instead, he looked at Xu Jingyun seriously, a hint of cunning flashed in his dark pupils, "Say, how about pushing this to Xiao He?"

Xu Jingyun was surprised at first, this approach violated his upright character, but then he thought about it, Xiao He was not a traitor, but he did a good job of bullying others with his power, so he thought, "I think...it is feasible, but it should not harm others. His life?"

"At most, the whole country is wanted, and his official career is ruined. As for his life, it depends on whether he is smart enough. Who knows what he did, and disappeared for no reason. It's very suspicious, isn't it? Besides, he killed Mr. Wen miserably, we It can also be regarded as a fake public benefit, to avenge Mr. Wen."

Xu Jingyun had to accept this reason.

In the morning of the next day, Qu Tongyin took care of the matter.

Sure enough, Long Yan was furious, and the wanted list was like snowflakes floating everywhere in a blink of an eye.

When things go well, the mood is naturally good, and it is naturally worth celebrating.

Free in the afternoon, the two went on a long journey to Diancui Building for a short ride.

Although the hot summer is hot, outside the windows of the pavilions, there are willows on the river bank, and the boats on the river are sparkling with golden light. The scenery is unique and pleasing to the eye.

The carriage stops.

Xu Jingyun stopped outside the building, looking around, as if looking for something.

Qu Tongyin followed him for a look, and there was a crowd of people, not a single familiar face.

"Meet someone you know?" He couldn't help asking under the sun, but he didn't leave in a hurry.

"Perhaps I made a mistake." Xu Jingyun shook his head to himself.

Qu Tongyin asked casually, "Who is it?"

"Do you still remember that I once handed over a suspect to your criminal department, and he escaped during the intercourse." Xu Jingyun answered seriously.

Qu Tongyin was taken aback, "You have a good memory, I have long forgotten what he looks like."

"He Pingzhang's case has not made any progress. If it's him, maybe we can make a breakthrough by asking him."

"You are rushing to the doctor in a hurry. He is a street gangster. How can He Pingzhang know him?"

Qu Tongyin was blinded by the sun, his brows were deeply frowned, and his hands couldn't block the light.

"What you said is true." Xu Jingyun quickly agreed with his point of view when he saw him feeling so uncomfortable, and only pulled him towards the shadowy place.

The homonym of the song was secretly smug, it was too easy to divert Xu Jingyun's attention.

"Hello, both of you."

It would be better not to have this indifferent greeting, the owner of the voice is the boss of Diancui Louwen, with an expression that strangers should not see close but far away.

"Old rules, a pot of Tieguanyin." Qu Tongyin pretended not to see it, and went upstairs.

"The downstairs is very empty, why go upstairs, just sit here, the view is good." Wen Qu ran out of the counter, eagerly waving his hands to beckon people over.

Qu Tongyin was surprised, the boss's behavior today was very suspicious, there must be something shady upstairs.

Thinking of this, he didn't care about Wen Qu jumping on the other side, and walked up the stairs in three steps at a time.

Sure enough, the second floor, which had a sweeping view, was actually separated from the teahouse by a screen.Two hazy figures on the screen were looking at him, the unexpected guest.

Qu Tongyin suddenly realized, could it be...

He went around, poked his face into the screen and looked behind, and was immediately stunned.

It was Yuan Cheng and Wen Gongzi.

Mr. Wen was dressed in plain silk, with loose long hair. The bluish-gray headband casually brushed the hair on both sides of his temples and tied it behind his head. A few strands of hair hung down in front of his forehead, barely covering his face.

He was horrified that for some reason, Mr. Wen had obviously damaged his left eye, and the light glance from his only eye gave him a chill on his back.

Also shocked in place was Xu Jingyun, who looked at Wen Wuyu without blinking, but couldn't utter half a word with his lips moving.

"It's not that I didn't stop them, they rushed up by themselves..."

Finally someone broke the inexplicable embarrassment, Wen Qu, who had chased upstairs, explained in a weak voice.

Yuan Cheng raised his chin, meaning that he could back down.

"Long time no see."

Wen Wuyu didn't know why the two of them looked at him like this, out of courtesy, he greeted him first.
