Dazzling

Recently, the Third Division, together with the Buyuan Division, followed the remnants of the shrine that they found out, and eliminated the great Zhou court or family forces that may be related to them.

He Xiangshan had already received the emperor's order to investigate the case thoroughly. As a member of the Buyuan Division, He Lingjiang also received Yuan Buqing's permission to follow up.

Therefore, both father and daughter were busy during this period, running to Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment from time to time, and it was rare to see them at home.

The case of the private sale of ironware in Beidi has been investigated, and the relevant criminals have been arrested. After review by the Third Division and Pei You, the case was finally closed.

Except for one Lu Liulang who was involved, no one in the Lu family knew about this matter. Fan Yang's Lu family members had been released from prison, and naturally the family of the Lu family in Yingdu had also been released.

As for Yang, he was also punished accordingly according to the law.

Shao Zhan, the minister of Dali Temple, exhaled slowly. There were numerous cases involving the shrine at hand, and now one was finally settled.

"Your Majesty, Madam He Qi, you two went to the Northland to collect evidence this time and thoroughly investigated the case. It's really hard for you. Now that the case has been closed, I think it's getting late. Why don't you let me be the host? Please ask me.

How about having dinner together?"

"How can it be wrong for Shao Si Qing to entertain guests?" Zhou Yun, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, said with a smile, and then looked at Pei You and He Xiangshan, "Your Majesty, He Zhongcheng, how do you do?"

Forget it if they are just a few big men, official entertainment is a common thing. But Ling Jiang is a young lady after all, so she may not be willing to go with them.

He Xiangshan looked at He Lingjiang and saw her nodding almost invisible, and then responded: "Of course it's better, I'll go with Ling Jiang."

Pei You also nodded: "I will join everyone."

So, after the few people dealt with the matters at hand, they left Dali Temple together and got on the carriage.

Although the Zhou Dynasty did not allow officials of the DPRK and central government to set up private brothels, it did not prohibit officials from having prostitutes.

For ordinary entertainment, many officials from the DPRK and the Central Government would go to the elegant brothel. Even if they did not do other things, it would be good to listen to the songs and watch the beauties singing and dancing.

Now, even though Lady He Qi is an unusual little lady, she is still a girl after all. Her grandfather is still standing here. If they dare to go to the brothel, He Xiangshan will probably pounce on them and tear them to pieces.

Shao Zhan consciously led a few people to a restaurant near Dali Temple.

"The food in this restaurant is pretty good. You guys should give it a try." After that, he recommended a few special dishes to a few of them.

There are dishes and of course wine.

A few people were chatting and laughing, talking about anecdotes from the public and the court, and had already finished several drinks.

Seeing that He Lingjiang was already drinking a few drinks, He Xiangshan opened his mouth and swallowed the words.

This child is really free and easy. Facing the two old foxes in officialdom, Shao Zhan and Zhou Yun, she speaks and laughs freely without any sense of restraint. How can she look like a young lady?

Forget it, let her go. Fortunately, the drink is not too strong, so it doesn't hurt to have a few drinks.

On the other hand, Shao Zhan saw that Pei You was just lowering his head to drink tea and poured a glass of wine for him himself: "Why don't you drink two cups, Your Majesty? The Qiulu Bai of this family is outstanding. It tastes mellow and sweet but is not easily intoxicating..."

"Come, come, let me offer you a drink, Your Majesty." As he said this, he raised his glass.

Pei You looked at the rippling wine glass, but did not refuse. He picked up the wine glass and gestured in the direction of Shao Zhan, then drank it in one gulp, with a slight blush on his jade cheeks.

Seeing this, Zhou Yun also stood up and said: "I also offer a drink to the prince."

It is rare for this Prince of Zhenbei to come to the capital of Ying, but his reputation in the North has spread throughout the entire Zhou Dynasty. Who doesn't know this son who has made military exploits at a young age and has outstanding swordsmanship?

What's more, his father, King Zhenbei, is the only king with a different surname in the Zhou Dynasty, and he has a lot of troops.

Pei You did not refuse, but also drank from his glass.

The first two colleagues had done this, and He Xiangshan was naturally not an exception. He was about to raise a glass, but saw that Pei You had already poured a glass for himself, stood up and saluted him: "Then I will congratulate Zhongcheng with a glass.

"

"This..." He Xiangshan was surprised.

Pei You rarely smiled: "This time I went to Beidi, Mrs. He Qi helped me a lot. He Zhongcheng is the father who raised her and taught her, so he deserves Pei You's respect." After that, he drank another glass of wine.

Belly.

He Xiangshan had no choice but to drink as well. He put down the glass and turned his head to see his daughter staring at Pei You calmly, wondering what she was thinking.

His heart skipped a beat. This boy from the Pei family had obviously had a different opinion of Ling Jiang when he was in Linchuan, especially when he returned to Linchuan from Yingdu with great momentum and came to question Ling Jiang's safety.

He hasn't forgotten it yet.

Later, when he arrived in Yingdu, although Pei You often investigated cases with Ling Jiang, the relationship between the two seemed not far or close, just like ordinary colleagues.

In front of everyone in Yingdu, there was even less talk, just a faint one.

He only thought that he had misunderstood Pei You's thoughts at first, but now it seems that it was not him who misunderstood, but Pei You, the boy, who knew how to restrain his thoughts.

Otherwise, why should we not respect Shao Zhan and Zhou Yun, but respect him and He Xiangshan and treat him with great respect?

He didn't think that he, the censor Zhongcheng, the head of the He family, would let the always aloof Prince Zhenbei bow down to him.

He Xiangshan looked away coldly. Since entering the capital of Ying, Jiang and Pei You have rarely been side by side in front of him. Now they are sitting side by side around the table. In terms of ability and appearance, these two young men are equally outstanding. They really complement each other.

Gotta be tight.

He couldn't help but feel that his eyes hurt, and he couldn't help but stroke his forehead.

Elsewhere, Pei You had already poured the wine and was about to congratulate Lingjiang again. After all, even the father of Lady He Qi, who had helped him a lot, had also congratulated him. It would be too strange for him to throw the person aside.

Just as he was about to raise his glass, He Lingjiang took a serving chopstick and placed it on his wine cup: "Although the wine is good, it also has stamina. He Qixin understands the prince's wishes. It's better not to have more."

Drink well.”

Pei You's eyes suddenly filled with smiles, like the wind on a clear day: "Mrs. He Qi is right, I almost forgot that I am not a good drinker. It is better to drink less."

After saying that, he put down the wine glass and took another tea cup: "Then I will replace the wine with tea."

He Xiangshan on the side looked at the warm smile on his face, his forehead twitched, and he felt that his eyes hurt even more.

Pei You is really uneasy and well-intentioned.

To be honest, just looking at the two young men in front of them, they are perfectly matched, but it is absolutely impossible for Ling Jiang and the Prince of Zhenbei, who has a lot of troops.

He was originally worried that Jiang would not care about the marriage of his children, but compared with the fact that she might like Pei You, he would rather the child be more indifferent and indifferent in matters between men and women.

He Xiangshan narrowed his eyes slightly, twirled the wine glass in his hand, and then asked with a smile: "Now that the case of private iron sales is over, I wonder when the prince plans to return to the north?"
