Chapter 26 Brother Ce has gone to Northern Xinjiang
The person who spoke was none other than Chen Yikang, the Minister of Punishment.
He glared: "Xiang Yu, I would like to ask, why is the adopted daughter of the Qi family involved in the relationship with Zuodu Yushi?"
"You just rely on your son's one-sided words and dare to declare it in front of the Holy Father without any evidence. I am not convinced that people who have nothing to do with it are involved."
Chen Qiushui, the imperial censor of Zuodu, is his son. This is not something that anyone can arrange at will!
Yu Xiang's expression did not change. He made a pilgrimage and saluted: "I only mentioned the most likely scenario and did not mean to take it seriously. Why is Chen Shangshu so angry?"
The moment the words came out of his mouth, he had already thought of an escape route for himself.
Chen Yikang and Chen Qiu Shui, father and son, were officials in the same dynasty. Chen Yikang had a short-term personality. He originally thought that it would be inappropriate to say that Ling Yutong and Chen Qiu Shui were colluding in front of Chen Yikang, but when he thought about it carefully, wasn't this a perfect way to divert attention?
Opportunity?
He couldn't produce any evidence, but his empty words could still stir up anxiety for a period of time. Just like in the case of the Qi family, the key evidence was all false. The Holy Spirit still did not order Qi Song's body to be returned to court, and the entire Qi family was still under control.
As long as you look away, who will pay attention to Yu Nanxun.
Even though he was an evil boy, he couldn't let him lead the door of his prime minister's palace astray!
Sure enough, Chen Yikang was irritated, and he sneered directly: "Obviously your son is very capable, but he wants to involve an outsider and throw dirty water on my son's head."
"Your Majesty, it is clear that my son Qiu Shui has been serving as the censor of Zuodu for so many years. When has he ever made any mistakes in official affairs? It must be that he listened to this metaphor and refused to punish his eldest son."
"I have also heard about the adopted daughter of the Qi family. She is a weak girl, and her appearance is somewhat similar to the eldest daughter of the Qi family. The Qi family was in chaos at the time, so it is reasonable that the wrong person was taken into custody. It is not worthy of doubt."
Yu Xiang frowned: "The imperial guards in the palace have been strictly trained, how could they make the wrong bet? Could it be that Chen Shangshu doesn't trust..."
Seeing the two people talking more and more fiercely, the corners of his forehead twitched.
"That's enough! You two are both important ministers, what's the point of making noise in the palace?"
"This matter will be discussed later. I have called you here today because I have something to say. The border battlefield is currently led by the Marquis of Annan. Qi Songjin's two lieutenants are already on the way back to Beijing. Chen Aiqing, please send someone to wait at the pass.
When he saw the person, he was taken to the Criminal Department and handed over to Yan Shilang for interrogation."
Chen Yikang nodded immediately: "Yes, Your Majesty."
The Holy Lord narrowed his eyes and said: "As well as the family situation of these two lieutenants, we need to find out everything. I want to know whether this letter was self-directed or staged, or whether it was maliciously framed!"
Chen Yikang accepted the order and left. When Yu Xiang saw that the emperor had no intention of leaving him alone, he also left.
After the palace became quiet, Father Happy came forward and whispered a few words.
The Holy Master's eyes darkened, and the order he was about to issue was stuck in his throat. He snorted coldly: "The Turkic leader, wasn't he still provocative a few days ago and wanted our Zhou Dynasty to look good? Why is there no movement at all?"
"That's all, it's just Xiaoxiao."
…
Qi Yan's movements were as skillful as if he had done them thousands of times. As soon as the powder was sprinkled on him, he fell down and looked at Ling Yutong.
"There's news from the carriage. Let's go out tonight."
It was already evening. Qi Yan spread out a picture in front of her and whispered: "This is the palace patrol picture I made recently. As soon as it gets dark, we will set off and leave the palace directly. There will be someone there."
Meet us."
"good."
Ling Yutong did not hesitate, she knew that Qi Yan had made complete preparations.
She held the picture and memorized everything on it, and then the sky turned dark.
Lai Che and the others were stunned in the palace. Ling Yutong looked at the surrounding environment with vigilance. He and Qi Yan kept dodging all the way and took a small path out of the palace gate.
The people who supported them outside the palace were Qi Yun and Qi Zekai!
Surprise flashed across Ling Yutong's eyes. She stepped forward and held Qi Yun's hand. The sisters' eyes turned red the moment they met.
Qi Yun stroked her hair distressedly and whispered: "How come we, Yutong, have lost so much weight?"
In her memory, Yutong was beautiful and weak, and she had always been the little girl she wanted to protect. But if something unexpected happened, the little girl she once had would grow up and be able to protect her.
Ling Yutong shook his head and smiled sincerely. "I'm so happy to see my eldest sister."
However, time did not allow them to delay, and the group of four people quickly arrived at the inn closest to the palace. There was an ordinary carriage parked in the backyard of the inn, which was the one transported from Junshantun.
It was also the one that Brother Ce rode in.
Ling Yutong's heart tightened. She smelled a very faint smell of blood as soon as she entered the carriage. She looked around and saw that the interior of the carriage was very clean and must have been tidied up.
"Brother Ce...will he know that we found this carriage?"
"I definitely will, come and see this." Qi Yan whispered.
The three of them gathered around him. What Qi Yan was looking at was a white dot behind the carriage curtain. The small white dot looked like a stain, but when he looked closer, he saw that the dot was very round.
Qi Zekai's eyes widened when he saw it: "Isn't this the way father taught us to record information? It's round and white..."
He immediately looked at Qi Yan: "Fourth brother, you also remember, right?"
Qi Yan nodded silently: "Yes, father took any object as an example, clicked round white dots in a certain order, and pieced them together to form a short message. This method is mostly used when it is necessary to hide.
"
"Without further delay, let's search in different areas, find all the white spots on the carriage, and gather information!"
As soon as Qi Yun finished speaking, several people quickly got busy.
Ling Yutong was shocked by this method and searched extra carefully. In the end, they found a total of twelve white spots, and Qi Yan integrated the information.
After a while, a word came out of Qi Yan's mouth.
"I went to Northern Xinjiang to look for my father and help."
Ling Yutong's pupils shrank! Brother Ce went to Northern Xinjiang? Looking for his father, she understood, looking for help...
"Hou An Nan?"
Today's border is divided into Southern Xinjiang and Northern Xinjiang. The home of this war with the Turks is Northern Xinjiang. It has been stationed by General Qi all year round, and now it has been replaced by Annan Hou. Before the Qi family had trouble, Annan Hou had been stationed in Southern Xinjiang. Over there
The peace had been settled for many years, and Marquis Annan was very old. His Majesty's arrangement was intended to allow him to enjoy his old age.
The fact that Annan Hou went to northern Xinjiang this time was enough to surprise her. The grudge between Annan Hou and the Holy Emperor can be traced back to when the Holy Emperor was still a prince. At that time, Annan Hou supported other princes and was very different from the Holy Emperor at that time. Later, Annan Hou
The prince who followed him was beheaded by the Holy Emperor himself. There was chaos in southern Xinjiang, and the Marquis of Annan invited him to go to war.
Later, when the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, Annan Hou also injured his leg bone on the battlefield in southern Xinjiang. In order to show his virtuousness, the Holy Emperor Huairen let go of the rival prince's old tribe, and Annan Hou was able to survive.
From then on, the Holy Emperor became the lord of the world, and the Marquis of Annan spent his days in southern Xinjiang after the peace, without interfering with each other.
With the current situation of the Qi family, no one would help the Qi family without any scruples. Brother Ce went to find Marquis Anan. Is it because he valued the old grudge between him and the Holy Emperor?
Ling Yutong was shocked and confused.
Qi Yan whispered: "Second brother knows that our family is in great need of a helper now. This is feasible, but it is better to do it secretly than openly."
"No matter what, if the second brother can leave us a message, he will definitely be safe for the time being." Qi Zekai said.
Qi Yun sighed lowly: "I'm afraid that if he goes to Northern Xinjiang, it won't be easy to find help. We have to find a way to help him."
Several people discussed it again, and finally decided that Qi Yan and Ling Yutong would keep an eye on the goings-on in the palace, while Qi Yun and Qi Zekai would take care of the family elders, and the other would secretly visit the war in Northern Xinjiang.
The night had fallen, and Qi Yan said in a deep voice: "It's time for Yutong and I to return to the palace. Sister, third brother, you should take care of yourself when you are out there."
Their respective figures disappeared into the night.
After entering the palace, Ling Yutong heard very light footsteps, looked back warily, and froze on the spot.
The footsteps she heard were those of a cat?
This cat has white fur all over its body and a pair of black eyes that seem to glow at night.
She hesitated for a moment: "Where did this cat come from?"
