With Liu Changqing's official position, he could not investigate Xia Ping unless Xiao Yuan gave him special authorization.

Therefore, he could only organize all the booklets at hand and rush back to the capital to report his life.

A few days later, the Qin Palace held a meeting with the main hall.

A series of records of this case have been placed on Xiao Yuan's Wang case, and Liu Changqing is also making detailed reports below.

After he finished speaking, Xiao Yuan had almost finished reading it. Then he put down the bamboo slips and couldn't help saying, "In order not to destroy his innocence, Hu Qingqing wanted to show his ambitions by death. What a chaste and virtuous woman!"

Hearing this, Shangguan Wenruo stood up and bowed and said, "King, although Gou Ju did not kill and set fire, this matter is worse than these! Just imagine, if Li Erzhu had not sued the capital, would the Gou family be really lawless? You know, that is the wife of our Qin army soldiers. Our soldiers fought on the battlefield. How many children died for the country, but their family still cannot be protected by the country."

"You are right!" Xiao Yuan immediately said: "This matter must be captured! Even if the Gou family has not been destroyed, I will kill the whole family!"

"As for Gou Ju, parades and shows the streets, and five horses dismember the body! From then on, Qin Law added another one, "Raising the wife of a soldier, the crime of being extremely evil! He was sentenced to death!"

"I, Wang Yingming." Shangguan Wenruo said quickly.

Xiao Yuan said again: "In addition, I have such ambition to Hu Qingqing, a weak woman. I sincerely admire him and envisioned the king's edict and appointed him as the fifth-rank Zhenlie Lady."

This is the only folk woman who has been granted a title at present, which was very, very rare at that time.

When the ministers heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.

This court discussion mainly talked about some things about Ningyang, and Liu Changqing's report was also clear, and even more importantly, the death of the governor of Ningyang County.

But Xiao Yuan seemed to deliberately avoid it and never mentioned Xia Ping's name.

Is the king hiding the senior general in a vague way? Liu Changqing was thinking a lot, but he didn't think that Xiao Yuan didn't see the problem. This can only be said that the king did it on purpose.

After going to court, Xiao Yuan returned to the palace study and did two things.

The first thing was to write a letter by hand, praising Xia Ping, saying that he had made contributions to intercepting Fang, and he praised him in the letter.

The second thing was to call Liang Yuan and say to him: "The Duwei Camp immediately sent a large number of elite troops to lurk in Ningyang and secretly investigate Xia Ping."

When the latter heard this, he was shocked at first, and then quickly bent down and bowed: "I accept the order!"

Next, after giving some memorials and at dinner time, Xiao Yuan also went to Gu Xue's place.

The couple had dinner at the same table. During this period, Gu Xue also said with great interest: "Husband, I have also heard about Ningyang. The wife of that soldier is named Hu Qingqing, right?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Xiao Yuan nodded.

"Mrs. Zhenlie, I want to meet you." Gu Xue said with a smile.

"This is fine, what are you doing when you see him?" Xiao Yuan was puzzled.

As a result, Gu Xue was unhappy: "What, I just want to make friends, but the princess can't make friends? Such a woman must be strong and kind."

"..." Xiao Yuan was speechless and then said, "Okay, okay, it's up to you. I will go to Longyou in two days. You can send a message to Ningyang."

"Oh." Gu Xue replied, "You are leaving again."

"Chuanjiangyan is about to be repaired, I have to go and see it." Xiao Yuan said and picked up some more dishes for her.

A few days later, Ningyang and Long'an County.

In an ordinary house, Hu Qingqing was carefully tidying up his armor for Li Erzhu.

She stood in front of him, with scars on her forehead. After tidying up, she also hugged her husband's waist and her eyes were slightly red.

Li Erzhu comforted him gently and said, "Okay, I have to rush back to the Qinzhou military camp."

"Husband, I'll wait for you to come back."

"If I go to the battlefield again, I haven't returned for three years, I'll promise you to remarry."

"Let you say this! Let you say this!" Hu Qingqing's tears fell down and she began to beat Li Erzhu hard.

"Okay, okay, don't say, don't say."

This is a very loving couple.

Just as the couple said goodbye, a shout suddenly came from outside the house:

"Two pillars! Two pillars--"

"Ah? This seems to be the voice of the magistrate Wang." Li Erzhu was stunned for a moment, and Hu Qingqing hurriedly wiped his tears, and the couple went out to welcome him.

The visitor was indeed Wang Shao, wearing the county magistrate's uniform, and there were several guards following him, one of whom was carrying a tray.

After meeting and showing the salute, Li Erzhu also clasped his fists and said, "This time, it's thanks to Lord Wang to deal with him secretly. Otherwise, my husband and wife may be harmed by a traitor."

"Hey?" Wang Shao waved his hand and smiled: "I am a small county magistrate, how could I defeat the county magistrate? These are all the soldiers who are thought of by the king."

"Yes, the status of the Great King is still willing to stand up for me, a small intern. Here, the king's grace will be remembered forever." Li Erzhu said sincerely.

"Wang Endan, needless to say, and this county has some serious business when it comes to this time."

After Wang Shao finished speaking, he also stretched out his hand slightly: "Please ask Wang Zhao."

"No!" The guard responded and immediately brought the tray respectfully over.

Wang Shao picked up the silk book above, spread it out, and coughed slightly: "Hu Qingqing answered the order."

Ah!?When they saw Wang Zhao, the couple were shocked and hurriedly knelt down.

"The King's Decree."

Wang Shao began to read:

"Now there is a family daughter, Hu, who is not afraid of power, loyal, kind, respectful and frugal, and is often praised for her beauty. She is lonely and specially appointed as the king's edict, and is the fifth-rank Zhenlie Lady..."

When the couple finished reading, they were stunned.

Seeing this, Wang Shao closed the edict and said with a smile: "Don't you accept the edict?"

"Ah? A folk girl, folk girl..." Hu Qingqing looked at a loss.

After Li Erzhu reacted, he pulled her to kowtow again and shouted loudly: "Kow to Wang En--"

Wang Shao handed the edict to Hu Qingqing and said with a smile: "Mrs. Zhenlie, get up quickly. From now on, there will be a fifth-rank lady in Long'an County. This is the first in Qin."

"Ah? Lord Wang, I, I..." Hu Qingqing was even more panicked, and her face turned red.

Li Erzhu also nervously held Hu Qingqing's little hand, but he didn't know what to say.

Seeing that his husband and wife were like this, Wang Shao didn't say anything more, but smiled and said, "In addition, I just received a letter from Shangguan, saying that the princess had an order to give Mrs. Zhenlie a time, take some time to go to the capital."

"What? King...the princess..." Hu Qingqing opened her mouth wide.

"Oh, the Empress wants to see her wife, this is a good thing." Wang Shao explained.

"But me, but I..."
