It's easy to be a villain, but hard to be a princess

Just as she was about to step over Chu Muqing, her knees knelt for too long and suddenly ached. Han Zixiao's feet softened and she sat on him. Chu Muqing opened her eyes. Han Zixiao yelled that something was wrong. Roll over on your side, lying on your side with your back to him.

After a long time, Chu Muqing said lightly, "Cover the quilt."

"Oh." Han Zixiao slowly squirmed into the quilt and found that the quilt was not very warm. Could it be that he just fell asleep?

"Han Zixiao." Chu Muqing called his name.

Han Zixiao responded, "Yes, what is your order?"

"If you are unfaithful to this king and bump into others outside, this king will kill you."

Han Zixiao's heart trembled. Although Chu Muqing said this in a calm tone, Han Zixiao felt murderous. He said, "No, how dare I be disloyal to the prince."

"Then you'd better remember what you said today."

Han Zixiao was lying with his back facing him, only feeling the chill on his back.

On the second day, Han Zixiao came down from court, and personally went to the imperial study to report to Chu Ruihong about the corruption of Wei Haotian, a doctor in the Ministry of Punishment.Chu Ruihong dispatched ten people from the Ministry of Punishment to assist Han Zixiao in arresting corrupt officials.

In order to avoid alarming the enemy, the matter was carried out in secret.

Han Zixiao and Liu Qinghe came to ambush around the Wei mansion early in the morning, waiting for the briber to appear.

All of them were in casual clothes and ambushed around the Wei mansion, waiting for an opportunity to strike whenever a suspicious person came to the door.Han Zixiao and Liu Qinghe waited from dawn until the sun rose in mid-air, but they didn't see any movement at the gate of Wei Mansion.

People from the Ministry of Punishment pretended to be ordinary people and walked back and forth at the gate of Wei Mansion, but no one appeared.The gate of Wei Mansion was closed tightly, and no one came out of it, let alone entered.

Liu Qinghe said: "Master Han, in your opinion, what is the situation?"

Han Zixiao's eyes were deep, "Then Wei Haotian usually pretends to be poor, but he doesn't want to reveal his wealth. I'm afraid he is corrupt and very low-key."

Liu Qinghe thought thoughtfully: "Could it be that he has another mansion dedicated to storing stolen money?"

"He usually dresses plainly. If there are two mansions, it will inevitably arouse suspicion. Given his temperament, this is unlikely."

Liu Qinghe nodded approvingly, "No matter what, Wei Haotian's corruption is true. The people who control the criminal department are here. They will arrest him later and ask the emperor for instructions to ransack the house. I don't believe that the stolen money can't be copied."

Han Zixiao smiled, "This is a good way."

Liu Qinghe looked at the sky, "We'll go in and arrest people if the briber hasn't shown up."

Han Zixiao nodded, and looked at the Wei Mansion again. In his sight, someone was pushing a cart from the street not far away. There were vegetables and fruits on the cart, and a man was accompanying him.

The trolley transporting vegetables and fruits made a detour beside Wei's mansion, and pushed it towards the back door. The more Han Zixiao looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong. The person pushing the trolley was wearing coarse linen clothes, and the accompanying people were dressed decently. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a vegetable seller.

"Could it be that the stolen money was sent in through the back door!" Han Zixiao said suddenly.

Upon hearing this, Liu Qinghe followed Han Zixiao's gaze, "You mean that cart?"

The cart circled around the back of the house and disappeared from sight. Han Zixiao turned his head and exchanged glances with Liu Qinghe, "What's the reason for a food delivery guy to be clean and decent?"

Liu Qinghe understood, "The reason is that he doesn't specialize in delivering food."

Han Zixiao winked at the people behind him, and the soldiers divided into two groups to surround the back door of Wei Mansion from both sides.

As soon as the food deliverer pushed the cart into the back door, the servant of the Wei Mansion hurried over to close the door. Han Zixiao drew out the knife from his waist and blocked the scabbard in the crack of the door. The person who closed the door saw With a sword, he quickly took a few steps back.

With a bang, the door was kicked open, and everyone in the backyard was dumbfounded.

Han Zixiao stood at the door holding his sword, behind him were Liu Qinghe and ten people sent by the Ministry of Punishment.Wei Haotian, a doctor in the Ministry of Justice, was taken aback by the situation outside, and even trembled when he spoke, "Han, Mr. Han, you..."

Han Zixiao stepped into the door, "An anonymous person reported Wei Haotian, a doctor in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, that Mr. Wei was corrupt and perverted the law. This officer came here to ask for evidence."

Wei Haotian's face was earthy, but he still put on the appearance of an upright official, "My lord Han may have misunderstood something. If an official is corrupt and perverts the law, he must have accumulated a lot of money. How can he even wear old clothes?"

Han Zixiao said: "Lord Wei's simplicity is obvious to all, and I don't believe that Lord Wei will be corrupt, but since someone has reported to Yushitai, I, as Yushi Zhongcheng, must perform my duties."

Wei Haotian laughed uglier than crying, "Master Han said so."

The person who delivered the food said: "Since the adults have something to do, the younger ones will take their leave first."

Just as the delivery man was about to leave, Han Zixiao stretched out the sword in his hand, "There is a good show here, why don't you watch it more?"

The man was calm, "To tell you the truth, the young one has to deliver food to the next family, so he can't stay for long."

Han Zixiao hooked the corners of his lips, "It's better to send it to the official's house at the next household."

The man smiled awkwardly, "Okay, whatever the adults want, I'll bring you the little ones."

Han Zixiao withdrew the sword in his hand, walked to the cart full of vegetables, and used the sword to lift the vegetables and radishes covering the surface, revealing a wooden box hidden underneath, and lifted the lid of the wooden box, and there were white flowers inside. The silver is very dazzling under the sun, judging by the weight, at least 500 taels.Han Zixiao raised the corners of his lips, and said to the delivery man, "Then how about sending me a cart of identical dishes?"

Seeing that Han Zixiao had seen through it, Wei Haotian pointed to the food delivery person and said, "You actually planted the blame on this official, what is your plan?"

The face of the food delivery person was pale, "My lord, I don't know anything."

"I still said I don't know, this dish was delivered by you, and there is money hidden in it, isn't it a frame-up?!"

Seeing Wei Haotian jumping over the wall in a hurry, Han Zixiao felt relieved, "Master Wei, if we have something to say, we should go to the court."

After all, the people from the Ministry of Punishment immediately stepped forward to put Wei Haotian in shackles and took him away.

Afterwards, Liu Qinghe said: "It's Mr. Han who is careful and found out that the food delivery was wrong early on, so this case can be closed."

Han Zixiao said: "Anyway, I have to live up to going to the brothel that night..." I wanted to say that at least I have to live up to the hour when I went to the brothel and came back to kneel that night.But thinking about the family ugliness that should not be publicized, I still didn't go on.

Liu Qinghe said, "What does Lord Han want to say?"

Han Zixiao coughed dryly, and changed his words, "Anyway, I have to be worthy of the money spent in the brothel that night."

"That's right, Mr. Han spent a lot of silver taels that night, and Liu didn't spend any money, so he feels very ashamed."

"Master Liu is out."

Han Zixiao's generosity is generous, but this month's monthly money is almost used up, and he will only have silver taels next month.After entering the palace, Chu Muqing only gave him 30 taels of silver every month, and spent 25 taels in the brothel that day, and it was gone when he was done spending.In hindsight, I really shouldn't have been generous that night.

I don't know if there is a reward from the emperor for solving a corruption case.

Liu Qinghe and Han Zixiao said as they walked: "In two days' time there will be a martial arts competition. Mr. Han is very skilled, you can go up and have a try."

Han Zixiao laughed lightly, "I heard that all the military officers in the court are very good at martial arts, so it's better not to lose face with Han's little kung fu."

"Although you can't compare with those military officers, Mr. Han's skills are among the top among our civil servants."

Han Zixiao just smiled and said nothing, many of the civil servants in the imperial court had no martial arts at all.Here, his flamboyant fists and embroidered legs can indeed be put on the stage.

The martial arts competition of the imperial court has been going on for hundreds of years. Emperor Qiwu loves martial arts, so he holds the martial arts competition in the palace every year. All officials can participate, and the winner can get 300 taels of gold. Many military officials are because of the martial arts competition. Winning the emperor's fancy, his official career has been on the rise ever since.

For this martial arts competition, Han Zixiao was only able to attend the regent princess and sit on the emperor's left side with Chu Muqing.On the right is King Mausoleum.

The people in the arena changed from batch to batch. Some people came onto the stage in glory, but were carried off with a bruised nose and face.

Han Zixiao was sitting on the table eating melon seeds while watching a good show, and knocked all the melon seeds on the table before he knew it, and there was a huge pile of melon seed shells in front of him.

After knocking the melon seeds, Han Zixiao peeled the oranges and ate them.This is Han Zixiao's habit. When watching a good show, you must eat while watching it. I always feel that just watching and not eating is less interesting.

The martial arts competition was halfway through, and he basically wiped out everything on the table.Chu Muqing looked at the melon seed shells and peels on the table, and then at Han Zixiao.

Han Zixiao was about to touch the last tangerine on the plate, but when Chu Muqing saw it, he could only lower his head and silently pick his nails, Chu Muqing said to the maid behind him, "Come here and clean it up."

The maid behind her took away the shells and peels of the melon seeds on the table, and brought a plate of tangerines and a stack of melon seeds.Chu Muqing looked at Han Zixiao and said, "I can't eat any more. If I eat too many snacks, I won't be able to eat dinner anymore." The tone seemed to be teaching a child who always likes to eat snacks.

"Yes." Han Zixiao replied.

Looking at his appearance, Chu Muqing couldn't help but smile slowly on her lips, and her eyes continued to fall on the ring.

Han Zixiao watched the martial arts competition in the ring, and always subconsciously touched food, and it was very uncomfortable to watch a good show without eating.

A big guy with a bare chest and back in the ring won three games in a row, and that man was none other than the mighty general Wu Zecheng.

Suddenly, a black figure flipped and landed on the ring. His feet landed so forcefully that even the ring shook. This person was none other than King Ling.

Wu Zecheng saw that he was the king of the mausoleum, and quickly cupped his fists, "I have seen the prince."

The King of Ling said coldly: "You have won three games in a row, and your martial arts are really good. I don't know how to compare with this king?"

Wu Zecheng was very embarrassed, "This..."

"Why, don't you dare?"

Sitting on the dragon chair, Chu Ruihong couldn't see King Ling's arrogance, and said: "Who dare not? Wu Aiqing, you should be proud of being able to compete with King Ling."

Wu Zecheng cupped his hands to Cui Ruihong, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Wu Zecheng turned around and clasped his fists at King Ling, "My lord, I've offended you."
