If it were someone else who made Long Yan furious, don't even think about escaping unscathed.

But Fu Jiuqu was Zhao Zhen's nephew. His bones were broken and his tendons were connected. Just by saying "uncle", Zhao Zhen couldn't be cruel to Fu Jiuqu.

What's more, from the perspective of the whole incident, although Fu Jiuqu used some small tricks, the result of the incident was considered to have satisfied Zhao Zhen's heart.

Once he came to Shouzhou, the Lu family was flourishing and capable people came out in large numbers. Zhao Zhen cherished his talents and was reluctant to be implicated in a case.

Secondly, Lu Gongbai committed the crime because Zhang Lujin's "Xiangnu" was controlled by others. One mistake caused eternal hatred, and his evil deeds were not as bad as those of the other principal criminals.

In his heart, Zhao Zhen did not want Lu Gongbai to implicate the entire Lu family. Fu Jiuqu was able to cleverly use Lu Gongbai's private seal to send people deep into the den of thieves to obtain evidence that Zhang Lu and others colluded with Shouzhou officials. By the way, he gave the credit to

Under the name of Lu Gongbai. In the end, Lu Gongbai was dismissed and the rest of the Lu family was preserved. It can be said that Zhao Zhen took matters into his own mind.

Zhao Zhen was very angry that Fu Jiuqu had lied to him.

He thought the matter was true, and in anger he thought of demoting Zhang Yaozhuo. At the same time, he had no objection to Fu Jiuqu's recommendation of the Lu family.

No emperor wants to be kept in the dark and be played like a monkey.

Zhao Zhen pointed at Fu Jiuqu's nose and scolded him for committing the crime of deceiving the emperor.

But in the end, after scolding him, Zhao Zhen swallowed the matter back...

Everything has become a fact, the order has been issued, and it is impossible to change it overnight. Moreover, even if Fu Jiuqu remained silent, Zhao Zhen understood that his purpose in doing so was to improve his reputation as a wise king.

There are some things that Fu Jiuqu can do, but Zhao Zhen cannot.

In this way, even if things come to light, the official will still be a good emperor who is upright, wise, and innocent.

As for Fu Jiuqu, he didn't care about the public opinion.

…

"Then where did you go last night?" Xin Yi frowned suspiciously when he saw Fu Jiuqu enjoying tea leisurely by himself, obviously tired but sitting upright and elegant.

"You can't just be scolded by the officials for one night, right?"

Fu Jiuqu glanced at her and chuckled.

"Went to the Imperial City Division."

Xin Yi: "For the case of Prince Dali?"

This time Fu Jiuqu hummed and didn't hide anything anymore.

"After inspection, we believe that Duan Yun died of white lead powder poisoning."

"Lead powder poisoning?"

Xin Yi was slightly surprised, and then saw Fu Jiuqu looking towards her with a faint expression.

"The Kaifeng Prefecture also found several jars of grease containing lead powder from Duan Yun's residence."

Xin Yi almost jumped up from his chair as soon as he heard the can of grease, "My home? Good color grease?"

Seeing the knot between her brows, Fu Jiuqu slowly picked up the teapot on the table and said, "Kaifeng Mansion may send someone to thoroughly inspect the pharmacy in a while. If you ask any questions, just answer them truthfully. Don't be afraid."

Xin Yi looked at him, "Why do I think there is something wrong with this matter? Is there someone deliberately targeting me? Mr. Lu from Kaifeng Mansion, won't take me to visit Kaifeng Mansion Prison again like Zhang Yaozhuo, right?

"

Fu Jiuqu chuckled and shook his head when he heard her funny words.

"No, just don't worry."

Xin Yi was confused again, "Why is Ninth Brother so sure?"

Fu Jiuqu looked at her for a moment and smiled slightly, "Master Lu owes me a favor."

Xin Yi's heart sank.

It is said that the Shouzhou spice case was handled by the Imperial City Department, and Lu Gongbai was eventually dismissed from his post as general judge, and is still unemployed at home. It would be nice if the Lu family did not hold grudges against Fu Jiuqu, but how could they hold grudges?

Then, it could only be that as she expected, Fu Jiuqu reached out to give the Lu family a hand in the face of the huge crisis of the Lu family capsizing.

"Don't think too much." Fu Jiuqu said, "As a person who is engaged in serious business, Kaifeng Mansion will not doubt you."

Xin Yi lazily said: "That's not necessarily true. In the eyes of outsiders, there might be another version of this matter. For example, Zhang Xun divorced his wife and wanted to marry the prince of Dali. I, the ugly wife, was jealous and resentful.

Poisoning and murdering the prince..."

Fu Jiuqu shook his head and laughed, and Xin Yi specially added.

"At first glance, does it sound reasonable, with logic and motivation perfectly integrated?"

"You." Fu Jiuqu slowly grabbed her hand, lowered his head and pecked the back of her hand, with a smile in his eyes, showing a somewhat scattered tiredness.

"What are you afraid of? Brother Ninth is here. If you really go to Kaifeng Prison, I will naturally send someone to bring you food..."

Xin Yi was moved by the first sentence, but almost got up and hit someone with the second sentence.

Fu Jiuqu's joke is not funny at all, because he will leave Bianjing soon, and Xin Yi still doesn't know how the eldest princess wants to insert her into the army of the Southern Expedition.

When the case of the Crown Prince came upon her again, her whole heart felt like it was soaked in ice water, sinking heavily and feeling uncomfortable.

"Xiao Shiyi, what's the matter with you?" Fu Jiuqu noticed her depressed mood, suddenly smiled, held up her chin with his fingers, and looked at her deeply, "Why do you think Brother Jiu kept his eyelids open and didn't go to sleep, and ran away so fast?

Come here? Do you really want to take a bite of porridge?"

Xin Yi's eyelids flickered slightly, and her heart suddenly became soft.

"Isn't it?"

"fool."

Fu Jiuqu chuckled, and there seemed to be a power to confuse people in that lazy tone.

"I'm here to support my little Eleven."

Xin Yi's eyes swayed from side to side, not daring to look directly into Fu Jiuqu's burning eyes.

His hands were poisonous, his eyes were poisonous, his skin was burning every inch of his body, and his cold heart seemed to be nestled next to the stove, warmed to the heart.

"Fu Jiuqu..."

Before she could call out, a kiss fell on her eyelids.

Lightly, like butterfly wings passing by, Xin Yi's heart was in confusion, and the skin on his body suddenly condensed into small pimples. He closed his eyes tightly in panic and waited quietly...

However, there were soft breaths on his face, jade fingers caressing his chin, and Fu Jiuqu's low smile on his head, but the kiss did not come again.

Xin Yi opened his eyes in embarrassment and stared at him in embarrassment. A short distance away, Prince Guangling's gaze was long and distant, like a person in a painting.

No matter how many times I have seen this face, it is still as breathtakingly beautiful as the first time I saw it.

"Wait until I finish breakfast and wash up before I hurt you."

Fu Jiuqu had a smile in his voice and a touch of teasing in his gentle eyes. He made Xin Yi's face turn red. He gave him a low scolding, pushed him on his shoulder, stood up and served him a meal.

"Eat quickly."

Fu Jiuqu smiled again: "Eleventh sister, there is no need to be so anxious."

Xin Yi: "..."

~

In less than half an hour, someone came from Kaifeng Mansion.

Still two old acquaintances.

——Zeng Qinda, Master Zeng, and He Zuo He Ren, who had dealt with each other since the beginning of the Xinyi time travel.

As the saying goes, Zhang Yaozhuo fell when the tree fell and the monkeys dispersed. Unexpectedly, the old team when he was in charge of Kaifeng Mansion were still in office.

When Master Zeng saw Prince Guangling sitting next to Xin Yi, his face briefly froze, but he soon returned to his charming smile. He stepped forward to salute Fu Jiuqu and said hello to Xin Yi. He was even more kind to Xin Yi.

"How are you doing, little lady?"

When Xin Yi was imprisoned in Kaifeng Mansion, Lord Zeng had also introduced her to Zhang Yaozhuo's mother, which was a great help. Although it was because of Fu Jiuqu, Xin Yi still remembered this incident and went to Zeng in a dignified manner.

Chinda returned the greeting.

"Thanks to Master Zeng, everything is fine with me."

Zeng Qinda smiled awkwardly, "Then I'm probably here at the wrong time. To be honest, I am the one who brought trouble to the little lady."

In the past, in the hands of Zhang Yaozhuo, Zeng Qinda was able to maneuver both sides and defeat him in every possible way. Now that Zhang Yaozhuo has fallen, he knows how to keep his official position.

Therefore, this sentence is not so much a trouble for Xinyi, but a greeting from one of our own people.

And I haven’t forgotten to handle the case...

Xin Yi glanced at Prince Guangling, who looked calm, and said with a smile: "Master Zeng, are you here because of Prince Duan's case?"

Zeng Qinda laughed twice and said, "Young lady is smart."

After saying that, he turned his head and frowned.
