you got on my tail

The eunuch nodded and backed away, a young man dressed as a royal guard walked in quickly, he knelt down in front of Fu Jiying with very light steps, and presented a package with lowered eyebrows.

Fu Jiying opened a corner, and the strong smell immediately permeated. He frowned and took a step back, whispering: "What is this?"

"Tobacco leaves produced outside the Great Wall." Jin Yiwei Xu Lin replied quickly, "There is still a letter, nothing else."

Fu Jiying nodded, took the letter and flipped through it. There were only a few sentences in it, only saying that the tobacco leaves were pure, nothing else.

Fu Jiying smiled and said, "It's nothing, he gave it to Xuehe, so you can take it."

"Your Majesty?" Xu Lin raised his head with a puzzled look on his face, "Isn't this General Xun surnamed Luo...?"

"He is Luo Cangxia's son, I know." Fu Jiying nodded, motioned Xu Lin to stand up, and then said with a smile: "How is he doing outside the Great Wall? Under Xu Yan, does he have a lot of anger?"

"General Xu is still the same, but General Xun has a good temper, his mouth is sullen, and he does things very decently." Xu Yan is proud of his merits, and sending Xun Luo to be his deputy is considered a promotion and a demotion, so even though he was a former abolished Xu Lin, the prince's son, still praised objectively, "Kung Fu is also good, and the soldiers in the army listen to him very much."

"He is a general who is neither arrogant nor impetuous. It seems that I have chosen the right person." Fu Jiying said: "The north of the Great Wall is tight, and in a few battles, he will make a name for himself outside the Great Wall."

"But master, he is Luo Cangxia's son after all, would he come to your side with ulterior motives?" Xu Lin thought about it, and then said: "I heard that you asked him to join Jinyiwei for the first time, but he refused."

"Yes, but I am thirsty for talent, and he agreed." Fu Jiying replied with a smile: "You mean that he refused the first time just to make me not suspicious?"

"I don't know either." Xu Lin was a little puzzled, "It's just that we can find out, so why should he do this?"

"Luo Cangxia was so upright back then, that's why she was used by the abolished prince." Fu Jiying thought about it, and then said: "Go to the outside of the Great Wall and arrest him secretly, and then release some rumors, so everyone must know that he is talented because of his background." caught."

Xu Lin is Wei Lan's apprentice, only ten years old, and he doesn't understand many things. He looked up at this moment, his expression was very puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask.

"I said before that Xun Luo is a general." Fu Jiying patted Xu Lin's shoulder in a good mood, raised his head and said, "I want him to give up his heart."

……

After Lan Ziqing entered the capital, Bai Xuehe went to the prison in the county seat, invited the two young masters from the Liu Mansion, and visited Ruan Jin who had previously pretended to be the prefect of Lu Mansion.

After being imprisoned for so long, the two young masters of the Liu family all had disheveled hair and pale faces. Liu Linghong's expression was not as arrogant as before, but when Bai Xuehe came, he deliberately leaned against the wall, but he couldn't help but gouged out one time.

"Master Bai." Liu Lingze stopped Bai Xuehe, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Thank you, Lord Bai, for returning our innocence. I have caused you trouble."

After finishing speaking, he pulled Liu Linghong who was beside him, motioning for him to say something too.

"That's all." Bai Xuehe shook his hand, Liu Linghong had a bad temper and was not afraid of death, he didn't want to hear any bad words, so he said: "Young Master Liu just go back and serve the old general, don't worry about other things."

"Thank you, sir." Liu Lingze nodded, and pulled his brother to leave.

Bai Xuehe reached out and knocked on the wall, and said in a low voice, "Slow down."

The young master of the Liu family turned around with a puzzled look on his face.

"Second Master Liu, you are a smart person." Bai Xuehe smiled and said, "I want to visit Old General Xia Liu, is that okay?"

"Of course." Liu Lingze replied quickly.

After saying this, Liu Linghong, who was not praised, burst into an unknown fire again, his joints creaked, and Bai Xuehe was so happy that he walked away without hiding his smile.

Ruan Jin was not so happy.

Ruan Jin had stayed in the sky prison, and he knew many things well. Now he is a felon involved in many things, and many eyes are staring at him, knowing that Jin Yiwei cannot execute him.

Fu Jiying was indifferent and cruel, but after all, he was the new emperor who had only been on the throne for a few years, but Xu Yan held the military power and had deep roots. If Ruan Jin was punished, the people in the court would definitely use this to stir up trouble.

But Jin Yiwei has its own methods. For example, on the first day Ruan Jin came in, he was locked on an iron frame that was neither high nor low, making him unable to squat down or stand upright.

No beating or scolding, just locked up like this for two days, Ruan Jin, who is used to being pampered, could no longer hold on, leaning against the wall like a dead pig.

Not only that, Jin Yiwei didn't let him rest, just as Ruan Jin closed his eyelids, someone threw firecrackers in, while Ruan Jin avoided the firecrackers, he also had to take care of the iron chains, which was more miserable than being beaten.

Bai Xuehe looked outside for a while, then said to Wei Lan, "What did he say?"

"No." Wei Lan shook her head, "I'm very stubborn, but I have other ways, isn't this underestimating us?"

Bai Xuehe pushed the door and walked in, motioning for two people to separate Ruan Jin from the iron frame. Ruan Jin quickly collapsed to the ground, and after a while, he crawled to Bai Xuehe's feet, raising his bloodshot eyes.

"My lord, I was wronged." Ruan Jin shook his head, his breath was no longer smooth, and his body smelled bad, "My lord..."

Bai Xuehe took two steps back and looked down at him. Ruan Jin was only wearing pants, and his upper body was full of fat. Except for his big arms and round waist, he didn't look like he had passed the martial arts exam at all.

"I advise you to admit it." Bai Xuehe lowered his head and said, "It's better to live than die."

"Tell me about the people behind it." Wei Lan also said, "It's up to the adults to tell the truth every now and then. Don't think that Jin Yiwei is just a fake."

Ruan Jin hesitated to speak, a glimmer of life flashed in his stubble-covered eyes, and he remained silent for a while, continuing to lie down like a dead pig, grunting and panting heavily.

Wei Lan was so angry that Bai Xuehe pulled his sleeve and motioned him to go out with him.

It was already late at night outside the prison, with no stars and no moon, Bai Xuehe was wearing a white shirt, and his figure was thin.

"Ruan Jin can tell my story easily, he is not a cautious person." Bai Xuehe shook his head, twisted his fingers together like a child, and then raised his finger to point at the stars, "But he didn't confess anything, obviously he wasn't going to be his master. die."

Wei Lan asked: "What's going on?"

"Ruan Jin has no relatives. The reason why he was able to pretend to be Lu Yongning is probably because he has no relatives and no reason." Wei Lan added, "This time something happened to him, and those wives and concubines are scattered. There is nothing to threaten."

"Because he thinks this person can still save him." Bai Xuehe shook his head, "Let's discuss it later, but why is there no news about Lan Ziqing?"

Wei Lan scratched her head in embarrassment, "He will be fine, don't worry, my lord."

"Anyway, take care of Ruan Jin." Bai Xuehe ordered, "Even if he dies, he can't be taken away."

The matter became more and more complicated, Bai Xuehe leaned against the wall and took a puff of the cigarette, but a little bit of pain relief ointment got into his throat, and he still felt a little tingling.

This is a good sign, Bai Xuehe happily knocked off the cigarette ash, feeling that he is not far from quitting this thing.

When they returned to the mansion, the servants of Liu's mansion were standing at the door with a car driver. Bai Xuehe went to Liu's house with them, and found Liu Lingze was welcoming him at the door, Wei Lan was talking to Heidan with a smile on his face, the children were dancing, and the two were very happy look.

"Xiao Hei." Bai Xuehe waved his hand and pulled Heidan to his side, Liu Lingze said politely: "I think the young master is bored by himself, so I brought him here with Master Wei, Your Excellency won't mind."

Bai Xuehe nodded, and entered the living room with the servants of the Liu family. Although Liu Lingze was displeased, he followed behind without saying a word.

After a while, Old General Liu appeared, but he startled Heitan who had been following him all the time. The former high-spirited old general had white hair and was holding a puppy in his hand. The maid behind him followed with a handkerchief, and from time to time Wipe off the cold sweat and drool for him.

"Who are you?" Liu Yan raised his head, his eyes were cloudy, and then he tightly protected the dog in his arms, "Don't snatch my dog!"

Liu Yan's voice sounded like a child's, Wei Lan couldn't help laughing, Bai Xuehe poured a glass of wine for Liu Yan and brought it to his face, Liu Yan didn't answer it, and turned to look at his son, he looked like the black egg that he didn't dare to eat when he got the candied haws earlier .

Liu Lingze nodded, Liu Yan stretched out his right hand to take the wine, and Bai Xuehe noticed that there was a big scar on his left hand.

"My father is unconscious." Liu Lingze replied in a low voice, "The last time I ran into the kitchen, I was severely burned."

Liu Yan wields a sword in his left hand, and once his hand is useless, he will almost never be able to practice martial arts.

It seemed that Liu Yan was really crazy, Bai Xuehe put down the wine, ate a few mouthfuls of food and said, "Since General Liu is inconvenient, I'd better go back."

Liu Yan didn't talk at all, Liu Lingze was very embarrassed, but he could only nod his head, after a few words of pleasantries, he got up and ordered someone to send Wei Lan and Bai Xuehe out of the mansion.

"It seems that General Liu is really useless." After leaving the door, Wei Lan stopped in front of Bai Xuehe, "I was a little suspicious before..."

Before Wei Lan finished speaking, there was the sound of a car driving from afar, and some officers and soldiers shouted: "Master Wei, stay a step!"

"Official sedan chair?" Wei Lan raised her head, and the official sedan chair in front of her also stopped.

Someone came down from the official sedan chair, revealing Zhang Baiyu's delicate face and crimson skirt, holding a bright yellow imperial decree in his hand.

Wei Lan felt that her eyes were about to fall out, "Lan Ziqing?"

Bai Xuehe raised his head just now, although he was the one who gave Lan Ziqing the title of official, he was still shocked when he saw this uniform.

Fu Jiying did make him an official, and even gave him his own.
