Chapter 54 Anping: This question is too difficult (please follow up)

When Qi Ping walked out of the Yamen, he saw the carriage of the Prince's Mansion parked outside. He hurriedly clasped his fists and raised his hands: "Princess, here comes the humble duty."

This is a bit strange to say.

"Come closer and speak." A crisp voice came from the carriage.

The guards let him go, and Qi Ping came to the car. He saw the curtains lifted, revealing Anping's delicate features.

Under the firelight, her skin was a warm red without any blemishes. She was wearing a gorgeous palace dress and looked a bit like a doll.

If we say that at the river banquet, there was still a bit of heroic spirit, now she is only charming.

At this moment, Anping was looking at him with a smile:

"My princess, I heard from people in the Zhenfu Division that you passed the test today? It seems to be unusual."

Qi Ping lowered his gaze: "Yes. There were some twists and turns during the period."

"Tell me and listen." Anping urged. Seeing that he was about to speak, he suddenly interrupted: "Tell me as we walk. I'll take you back to the inn first."

So good? Qi Ping was surprised and pretended to get on the carriage, which shocked Anping:

"What are you doing?"

"Get in the car. Didn't the princess say that she wanted to send her humble servant off for a ride?" Qi Ping pretended to be confused.

Anping said angrily: "You will be punished if you follow me on foot."

...I knew it, so Qi Ping pretended to be pitiful and nodded in agreement.

Anping's personality is very different from that of the eldest princess, so they need to use different skills to get along with each other.

The wheels were rolling, but the speed was not very fast. Qi Ping walked a few steps quickly and was able to keep pace. Under Anping's order, he told her the process of the assessment.

Anping leaned against the carriage and listened intently. When he heard that Hong Qianhu misunderstood Qi Ping and played word games, he was filled with indignation.

Hearing that Qi Ping scored a perfect score, Hong Lu and other Jin Yi were dumbfounded and beamed with joy.

It's like being completely immersed in the story.

After listening to this paragraph, he was still not satisfied, so he asked Qi Ping why he was arrested, which led to the inn murder case.

Qi Ping narrated it again. The incident was full of twists and turns, but he also added some artistic touches to it, which made Anping marvel and marvel.

When she arrived at the inn, she had just finished telling the story. She still wanted to finish it, but she also knew that it was late. She glanced at the inn sign and said with a smile:

"You live here, I've made a note of it, and I'll hang out with you when I have time."

"Ah... I'll change my place of residence in a few days." Qi Ping was embarrassed.

"I don't care, I'll come and ask if I want to find you anyway." The female boss said.

Qi Ping sighed, okay, let's talk to the shopkeeper then... Suddenly, he thought of something and said: "I have been thinking about a small object recently. I wonder if Your Highness is interested."

"What is it? Bring it to me." Anping's eyes lit up.

During this time, the checkers game she played last time had spread among the powerful people in the Beijing circle and was highly praised, and she also became famous.

"Wait a moment." Qi Ping turned around and entered the inn. After a while, he returned with a strange cross object made of building blocks in his hand:

"This object is called Luban Lock. It is a toy that tests intelligence in school. It is relatively simple to disassemble, but it takes some effort to put it back together."

Yes, Luban Lock. This was something he made out of boredom while on the road. This kind of toy has not yet appeared in this world.

I made two, one for Qi Shu to play with, and the remaining one for Anping.

The princess likes interesting things, so this is her reward for coming to help tonight.

"Testing intelligence in school?" Anping took it, played with it, and said confidently: "I can do this."

Haha, don’t raise the flag so early... Qi Ping smiled and said nothing, respectfully sent the carriage away, turned around, and greeted his sister and the filial son:

"Go back to the house!"

The first day in Kyoto was really "wonderful".

…

…

Inside the carriage.

Anping leaned on the soft cushion and carefully picked up the exquisitely constructed Luban lock with the help of the light from the magic weapon above his head.

Not long after, there was a "click" and it was successfully dismantled and scattered into many wooden pieces.

"That's it? A test of intelligence in school?" Anping smiled, but suddenly felt that it was nothing more than that.

"Well, the next step is to restore it."

…

In the inner city, the Zhenfusi Yamen is brightly lit.

After the Hou Yamen, there is another independent gray building called "Chao Prison".

At this moment, from the depths of this dungeon, which frightened the civil and military officials of the entire court, screams could be heard one after another.

Mo Xiaoqiong walked slowly along the wide and gloomy corridor. On both sides, the ghost fire fixed on the wall swayed, reflecting his shadow like an evil ghost that chooses people to eat.

"Pah! Pah! Pah!"

"ah--"

The sound of whipping and screams are like the eternal notes of this realm. The prison does not see sunlight all year round. Living here, the concept of time will also be blurred.

"Master Qianhu!" When Mo Xiaoqiong came outside a cell, Jin Yi, who was on duty here, stood up hurriedly.

"He still doesn't cooperate?" Mo Xiaoqiong asked.

Jin Yi nodded: "According to your instructions, we cut off his food and water and tried to intimidate him, but the other party is confident. If we don't punish him, I'm afraid..."

Mo Xiaoqiong interrupted him: "Open the door."

Jin Yi took out the key and opened the iron door behind him. Inside, there was a dark, small secret room, with a thin man with a mustache huddled in the corner.

Hearing the sound, Hun He stood up and raised his hand to block the firelight outside.

"Wang Xian, you should have heard my name, don't force me, otherwise, you will regret coming to this world." Mo Xiaoqiong said calmly.

The prisoner named Wang Xian showed fear at first, then suppressed it again and sneered:

"Others are afraid of you, Mo Xiaoqiong, but I am not. You detained me without evidence. According to the laws of the Great Liang Dynasty, I will be released for a maximum of three days."

"Or, you, Mo Qianhu, want to be tortured? Haha, I want to remind you that I am a viscount, and there are many nobles behind me. If you dare to torture these nobles for no reason, even your master will not be able to handle it!"

"Bang." The iron door closed, blocking the other party's yelling and cursing.

Mo Xiaoqiong's face was as dark as water, and Jin Yi next to him asked tentatively: "Sir, do you want to use water torture?"

Not all torture will leave scars.

"Let's talk." Mo Xiaoqiong shook his head and walked away, feeling very unhappy. The other party's situation was special, and torture was of little significance. In other words, it was a last resort.

This gave him a huge headache.

Thinking about this, he returned along the corridor. Suddenly, he saw someone in Jinyi escorting someone in.

"Newcomer? Which family?" he asked.

Na Jinyi said: "Your Excellency, please give it to the chief steward of Xu Shisheng's mansion."

Mo Xiaoqiong was stunned for a moment and asked what had happened. When he learned that the other party had falsely accused Qi Ping and was arrested instead, he couldn't help laughing out loud:

"Something interesting."

He glanced down at the big steward who had incontinence of urine and his legs were paralyzed. His smile widened and he said, "Leave it to me. I happen to be in a bad mood and I need someone to relieve my anger."

Several Jinyi people suddenly showed expressions of pity.

The chief steward of the Xu Mansion had a pale face and was horrified.

…

The whole night was silent, and the next morning, it was early morning.

In the prince's palace, when the personal maid knocked on the door of the princess's house, she was startled when she saw Anping sitting on the bed with two dark circles under his eyes and a haggard expression:

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Anping, who had not slept all night, looked over blankly. In front of him was a Luban lock that had been dismantled into parts. He hesitated to speak, but suddenly, with a sad face:
Chapter completed!
