Chapter 91 What did you commit?

Song Jiuxi was shocked: "Did you steal my mille-feuille?"

Yan Shubai: "..." Is this the point?

Song Jiuxi pursed her lips and looked cold. Last night, Yan Shubai said that he had two pieces left and would give them to her today.

Unexpectedly, Yan Shubai ate it himself?

Song Jiuxi felt a little angry, but thinking that Yan Shubai came to save her yesterday and became poisonous because of it, Song Jiuxi felt that it was unreasonable to be angry about this.

She changed the topic: "Where are those bandits you arrested yesterday?"

Yan Shubai sighed and said in a low mood: "They are all locked up in Xiao Yiwei's barracks."

"Oh, can I go and have a look?"

Yan Shubai raised his eyelids, glanced at her and said, "We'll wait until your injury heals."

"My injury is not serious, look..." Song Jiuxi's face turned pale in pain, and her face wrinkled up like a bitter melon.

Yan Shubai was not angry. He looked miserable and tired. He moved to the bed and said, "Sleep with me for a while."

Song Jiuxi was surprised that the topic had ended here, but looking at Yan Shubai's face, it was really not good. The face that always smiled at her was now pale and transparent, weak and sickly.

Song Jiuxi was silent for a while and then lay down.

Yan Shubai hugged her waist sideways and whispered, "Xixi, I'm too sleepy."

Song Jiuxi suddenly turned her head to look at him. How did Yan Shubai know her nickname?

Only her mother would call her that, no one else knew her nickname, and no one would call her that now.

But Yan Shubai had already fallen into a deep sleep, and Song Jiuxi had questions in his mind but couldn't ask them.

Song Jiuxi yawned and fell asleep soon after.

When Song Jiuxi woke up again, it was already dark and they had slept all day. Yan Shubai continued to sleep, and Song Jiuxi got up on her own. When she opened the door, she saw Luo Feng and Fang Long.

Standing by the door, one on the left and one on the right.

"master."

"lady."

Song Jiuxi asked: "What time is it?"

Fang Long said: "It's three o'clock in the morning."

Song Jiuxi nodded, and then Luo Feng asked: "Is the general not awake yet?"

Song Jiuxi shook his head: "No, what happened?"

Luo Feng hesitated for a moment, then said: "Madam, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Su Mingxuan, has been waiting for the master for three hours."

"What is he doing here?" Song Jiuxi wondered.

Luo Feng said: "I guess he came here because of the two thousand bandits."

Song Jiuxi frowned. Jin Yiwei didn't interfere before this happened, but now they did after it happened.

At this time, there was a sound in the room. Song Jiuxi went in and saw Yan Shubai waking up. He frowned and asked, "What happened?"

"Su Mingxuan is here."

After hearing this, Yan Shubai didn't show any surprise on his face. He just got up and put on a coat, coughed twice sickly, and then sat in the wheelchair.

Song Jiuxi pushed Yan Shubai toward the main hall of Zhuangzi, with Fang Long and Luo Feng behind.

In the main hall, Su Mingxuan was sitting on a chair, with his back straight and his face cold and solemn. Behind him were two guards in uniform, who also had cold faces.

When Yan Shubai entered the door, a gust of wind suddenly blew. He turned his face to the side, lowered his head and coughed suppressedly.

Su Mingxuan stood up, cupped his fists and saluted: "General Ming."

Yan Shubai waved his hand, and it took him a while to calm down. They walked in, and Song Jiuxi glanced at Su Mingxuan. Su Mingxuan's eyes were cold and sharp, like an eagle's.

Sensing Song Jiuxi's gaze, Su Mingxuan looked over quickly, his eyes like daggers.

Song Jiuxi looked directly at him, her clear eyes as cold as snow, and Su Mingxuan's fingers clasped the embroidered spring knife at his waist.

"Commander Su." Yan Shubai looked at him with a cold voice.

Su Mingxuan looked away, but there was surprise in his eyes. The martial arts of the woman in front of him might not be as good as his.

Song Jiuxi also looked away. She came because she wanted to hear about those bandits.

"General Ming, Xu Xu, who was captured by the Owl Guards yesterday, is the prisoner that our Jinyi Guards sent out to arrest. General Ming, please hand over the person to my Jinyi Guards, and I will escort him to the imperial prison."

Yan Shubai said calmly: "I'm afraid Xu Xu will die as soon as he enters the imperial prison."

Su Mingxuan frowned and pressed his hand on the knife: "What does General Ming mean? The Jinyi Guards are acting under the orders of the Emperor. If Xu Xu is innocent, we will let him go. But if he is not innocent, he will naturally have to accept the "Dayan Laws and Orders"

"Punishment."

Yan Shubai smiled: "Who in the capital doesn't know that once you go to the imperial prison, you will lose a layer of your skin. But we have to talk about the order of things. I caught Xu Xu, and he is in my hands. Su

If the commander wants, then take your Jinyiwei and come to my Xiaoyiwei's military camp to ask for someone."

Su Mingxuan's voice suddenly turned cold: "General Ming doesn't want to let him go?"

"I don't want to." Yan Shubai smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes.

Su Mingxuan tightened his grip on the handle of the knife, and his whole body suddenly rose with an aura of awe.

"Commander Su wants to draw his sword in front of me? Then you have to think about it." Yan Shubai's words were half true and half false, and his tone was incomprehensible, but there was an icy chill in his peach blossom eyes.

Su Mingxuan's cold eyes moved, he snorted coldly and turned around to leave. "Let's go."

The two Jinyi guards behind him immediately followed, and the three of them quickly disappeared.

Song Jiuxi asked: "What case did Xu Xu commit?"

Yan Shubai looked at Luo Feng next to him, and Luo Feng took out a piece of paper and handed it to Yan Shubai. Yan Shubai opened it, and Song Jiuxi also looked over.

This is a petition to redress a grievance, and it was Xu Xu who wrote it.

Xu Xu explained what happened in the article. It turned out that he was the Juren in the autumn palace last year. He was supposed to show off his talents in the spring palace at the beginning of this year, but unexpectedly he was blocked by the local nobles and missed the spring palace.

, and was hunted down by them.

The Haoyouxiang eunuch mentioned in Xu's preface is the Xiao family of Yongping Prefecture. This Xiao family is also the natal line of Princess Duan. However, this branch is a common line, but it has a close relationship with the direct line in the capital.

.

As a scholar born into a poor family, Xu Xu got into trouble with the Xiao family in Yongping Prefecture because Xu Xu's sister got married at the beginning of this year. On the day of her wedding, she was kidnapped by Xiao Chengru, a descendant of the Xiao family.

Xu Xu's sister was disgraced and hanged in the Xiao family room that night.

In order to cover up this scandal, the Xiao family threw Xu Xu's sister into a mass grave and killed Xu Xu's sister's new husband and his family.

How could Xu Xu, a proud scholar, endure such humiliation? He sued all the way from the county government office to the state government government office.

But in order to protect Xiao Chengru, a dandy, and to cover up his reputation, the Xiao family went all out, so that no one dared to respond to Xu Xu's appeal for grievances.

From the county government office to Yongping Prefecture, to the Yincha Division, and to the Du Division, no one responded to Xu Xu's complaint.

In anger, Xu Xu went straight to the capital in the name of Chunwei. Unexpectedly, he was chased by the Xiao family all the way. Those people brutally killed his younger brother and father, but his mother, who was not at home, escaped.

Xu Xu was filled with anger and was forced to take his mother to surrender to this bandit.

It was also because of Xu Xu's cleverness that this bandit was able to evade the pursuit of the government and reach the emperor's feet.

In order to use this branch of bandits to protect himself, Xu Xu submitted this grievance document to Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment.

Song Jiuxi understood and followed Xu Xu's original plan to use Princess Yongjia to make the matter bigger. When someone from the court came, he used Princess Yongjia as a threat to force the Sanfa Department to thoroughly investigate the Xu family's grievances.

Song Jiuxi suddenly frowned again. How did Chang Shenhui know Xu Xu's purpose? And he promised to redress his grievances?

Song Jiuxi intuitively felt that this was not simple, and Xu Xu was just a weak scholar. Could he really be able to allow a group of two thousand bandits to escape heavy pursuit and suppression and come to the feet of the emperor?
