The King's Favor [Rebirth]

Chapter 39

In this world, where there is prosperity, there is chaos.

East Street in Beijing is such a place.It is very out of harmony with the luxurious capital. Most of the people living here are from ordinary backgrounds, no one is an official, and there is no money in their pockets.They do some small business by themselves or work in restaurants and shops, and more people rent houses here.

When Xie Linxi came here, he didn't bring many people with him, and none of the people he brought was wearing official uniforms. When the half-grown child was in a panic, he would definitely hide when he saw so many people from the Prison Division.

If you scare people away, it will take more time to inquire again.

Xie Linxi had already sent someone to find out. The only child in the Zuo family who could be called the upper half was Zuo Min, an eight-year-old bastard, Zuo Ran.This bastard is usually in poor health, rarely appears in front of outsiders, and is easily ignored by others.

It is very difficult for a half-grown child to walk from Jinzhou to the capital. He was terrified because he witnessed the murder of his relatives, and he certainly would not trust people easily.This road to the capital must be half begging and half hungry.

Because refugees from Wan'an kept flocking to the capital during this period, he took the opportunity to mix in so as not to be noticed.

But no one knows how many hardships he has gone through during this period. After all, refugees will eat people when they are extremely hungry. It is very difficult for an eight-year-old child to overcome all these.

The possibility of Zuo Ran's death is not ruled out, the possibility of him being captured by the people behind the scenes is not ruled out, and the possibility that those people will deliberately send him to Beijing safely in order to let him frame Qi Jingyuan is not ruled out.

It is unrealistic to find a specific person with so much fanfare among so many refugees. The key is that every move of the prisoner is watched by someone.This was especially true for the people behind the extermination of the Zuo family. Those people must also be looking for this child.

Therefore, Xie Linxi did not do this, he focused on the group of people who entered the city recently.

Zuo Ran, no matter how he got to the capital, he will always enter the city.

He proceeded, and the one he wanted to contact the most must be He Guogong's mansion, even if he knew it was dangerous.It is inevitable to send people to watch He Guogong's mansion, and the prison secretary is very good at doing this kind of thing.

In addition to this method of sitting on a tree and waiting for rabbits, Xie Linxi is more likely to find people to inquire about news with the beggars in the city. These people are running back and forth in the city, and the news is naturally very well-informed.

Zuo Ran has no money and no power, so if he wants to live in the capital, he must deal with this group of people.

There is an extra little beggar in the city. This matter can be hidden from those officials, but it cannot be hidden from the original beggar.

Xie Linxi asked people to inquire for a long time, and finally received definite news recently, saying that a beggar came to the city recently, and he lived on the East Street.

After Xie Linxi received the news, he didn't go to East Street immediately. Instead, he held back and endured for a few days. After hearing that people were on East Street for several consecutive days and further narrowing down the area, he decided to act.

At the destination, Xie Linxi waved his hand, and the people behind him dispersed in twos.

It is small and dirty, with an unknown stench all around, and a few beggars huddled in a grass hut, which is a good place for Tibetans.People with eyelids quickly shrank their heads when they saw this scene, for fear that something troublesome would come to them.

Xie Linxi walked in the sewage without changing his face. He looked around, and it was easy for a half-grown child to see.

But everywhere he looked, he didn't see such a person.

Xie Linxi was not worried that the person who gave him the news would lie to him, unless the person was dying.

The people he brought quickly gathered towards him, and many people shook their heads silently, indicating that no one was found.

Xie Linxi narrowed his eyes, and Cheng Shuai, who was closest to him, said in a low voice: "My lord, will someone get the news in advance and take him away?"

"No." Xie Linxi said lightly, he didn't let anyone intervene in this matter, even Cheng Shuai and others didn't know what to do until they arrived at the place, even if there was someone else's eyeliner for the Heavenly Prison Secretary, he would not get the news.

"My lord, what should we do now? Can we expand the scope of the search?" Cheng Shuai whispered worriedly.

No matter how careful they were, they would definitely not be able to hide the fact that the people from the Prison Division had appeared on the East Street. If they couldn't catch them today, they wouldn't be able to catch them tomorrow.

When Xie Linxi was about to re-examine, he suddenly heard someone shouting not far away: "You two stop."

Cheng Shuai listened carefully and hurriedly said: "My lord, it's the voice of the royal family..." He must have discovered something.

Xie Linxi hurriedly walked towards the sound, an alley away.

I saw the king's family and another si ya of heaven were interrogating two people, one of them was fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed plainly, and looked like a scholar, and the other was eight or nine years old, blinking his eyes ignorantly, dressed as a schoolboy.

The fifteen or sixteen-year-old man was explaining to the royal family without humility: "He is my book boy, named Wang Yi."

Seeing the two of them, Xie Linxi raised his eyebrows, stepped forward and said, "What's going on?"

Seeing him, the royal subordinate hurriedly said: "Commander, these two people look strange, and they want to run away when they see us. I think this little one looks like the person we are looking for, so I came here to question you."

Xie Linxi hummed and looked at the two of them.

The scholar was taken aback when he saw Xie Linxi, and said: "Master Xie."

This little scholar is none other than Wang Chong.

His father, Wang Yu, was the servant of the Ministry of Industry who was framed by Zuo Min for seeing blood in Lintai.

Xie Linxi nodded slightly towards Wang Chong, then looked at the little book boy beside him and said, "Is this person your book boy?"

Wang Chong pursed his lips and said, "Yes."

Because of his father, he had a very good impression of Xie Linxi, and he always regarded him as a good person in his heart, and he was not as afraid as others, so he said: "Master Xie is investigating the case? My mother and I rent here for a long time. , I have a better understanding of the people and things around me, if Sir Xie needs anything, I can also help."

Xie Linxi looked at Wang Chong and said, "You live here now?"

Wang Chong nodded naturally, Xie Linxi hummed and said, "It's nothing, you guys go back."

Seeing that he didn't intend to help, Wang Chong saluted and left with the little book boy.

Cheng Shuai looked at Xie Linxi anxiously, thinking that this little book boy is the only one worthy of the title so far, so why not bring him back for interrogation...

Xie Linxi didn't look at Cheng Shuai. After Wang Chong took the little book boy for a few steps, he suddenly called out casually: "Zuo Ran..."

The little book boy turned his head in disbelief.

Turning around, his body froze, and the ignorance in his eyes turned into fear.

He pushed Wang Chong with his small hands, trying to push him away.

Wang Chong stared blankly at Zuo Ran, with various expressions flashing across his face. Before Xie Linxi came, he said in a trembling voice: "Your name is Zuo Ran, so are you related to Zuo Min, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment?"

Zuo Ran didn't know why Wang Chong asked such a question, he lowered his head and pursed his lips and said, "He...he...he is my father."

"Father?" Wang Chong's face suddenly became ugly, he muttered these two words like chewing, with a sneer on his calm face.

Zuo Min is the enemy of his royal family, but he has been raising the son of the enemy these days.He even lied to his savior for the sake of the enemy's son, how ridiculous.

Zuo Ran looked at Wang Chong, panicked for some reason.

He wanted to step forward to grab Wang Chong's hand, but Wang Chong took a step back.

The obvious avoidance made Zuo Ran stunned, and he stood there blankly, at a loss.

Xie Linxi stepped forward, and the other heavenly prison officials had already surrounded Wang Chong and Zuo Ran, and there was no possibility of them escaping.

Of course, the two of them would not be able to escape if they had no force, no manpower.

Xie Linxi asked Cheng Shuai to take Zuo Ran away, and Zuo Ran looked back at Wang Chong.

When a person encounters a desperate situation, anyone who treats him with a little bit of kindness will be remembered in his heart for a lifetime.Not only was Wang Chong kind to him, but he also took him in and treated him like a younger brother.

Zuo Ran actually wanted to say goodbye to Wang Chong, but he knew that Wang Chong didn't want to talk to him at all after experiencing the warmth and coldness of human relationships.

When Xie Linxi turned to leave, Wang Chong called him.

When Xie Linxi turned his head, Wang Chong hesitated and said, "Caomin knows that Commander Xie is a good person. Just now, he just wanted to go back and clarify the matter first. He didn't mean to help him hide it."

He picked up this little beggar who was fainting from hunger in front of the door, named him Wang Yi, and asked him to be his book boy, actually his younger brother.He knew that Wang Yi had a grudge, but he didn't ask.

Even if he met Xie Linxi, he still respected Wang Yi, and would not send someone directly just because he believed in Xie Linxi.

Fate likes to play tricks on people very much, but the person he picked up was the son of the enemy.

Xie Linxi hummed and said: "I know, it's getting late, and it's time for Mr. Wang to go back, so as not to worry the hall."

Wang Chong responded, lifted his feet and left, walked a few steps, but still couldn't help asking: "What... what will happen to him?" The news of Zuo's family being exterminated was spread all over the street, so he naturally heard about it. , his mother cried and said that it was the heavens that had eyes, and that it was the heavens who were avenging their royal family.

He didn't take it seriously, but he never thought that he and the Zuo family still had such a fate.

Xie Linxi glanced at Wang Chong and said, "It's just a half-grown child, so I won't do anything to him."

Wang Chong snorted, knowing that Zuo Ran was not in danger of his life.

Xie Linxi was not interested in how Zuo Ran and Wang Chong got mixed up. It was rare for him to be patient enough to say a few more words with Wang Chong. When he reached this point, he turned and left.

Zuo Ran was taken to the Heavenly Prison Division. Many people trembled when they heard the name of the Heavenly Prison Division. It seemed that there was a man-eating ghost in it.

But Zuo Ran, an eight-year-old child, is not afraid, he can even be said to be very calm.

Also, people who crawled out of the dead and have not gone mad can often no longer be called human beings.

Xie Linxi saw Zuo Ran alone, there was no one around, and he didn't scare a person who was not afraid of death, he said very bluntly: "You are the only survivor of the Zuo family, what happened to you in Jinzhou? What's up?"

Zuo Ran looked at him quietly, then smiled strangely, and said coldly in a childish voice: "I know you, you are Xie Linxi, the regent's man. The regent sent someone to kill someone, and wants you to be a good person here ?"

Xie Linxi didn't even wrinkle his brows for this statement, he said: "You say you are someone sent by the prince, do you have evidence?"

Zuo Ran was so calm, either because he was confident, or because he didn't want to die.

Xie Linxi thinks it should be the first one.

Zuo Ran looked at him and said nothing.

Xie Linxi saw the situation and understood that he had something in his hand, and it was something that was very unfavorable to Qi Jingyuan.

Zuo Ran didn't believe him, and it was useless for him to ask more.

Being able to get this information is due to Zuo Ran being too young. No matter how deep his scheming is in front of Xie Linxi, there are loopholes to be found. If he is a few years older, it will be hard to tell.

Xie Linxi didn't do anything to Zuo Ran, nor did he let him stay in the Heavenly Prison Division, but took him directly to the palace.

When he went, Qi Jingyuan had already returned from the palace.

Probably in a bad mood, Jin Yidu wandered back and forth at the second door, his face obviously looked better when he saw Xie Linxi, but when he saw Xie Linxi carrying a half-grown child in his hand, his face became obviously stiff.

Xie Linxi didn't explain, just threw Zuo Ran to him and said, "Wash him up and get him something to eat."

Jin agreed and took the man away.

Zuo Ran knew that he couldn't run away, and didn't even think about running away, so he was taken away by Jin Yi honestly.

He was actually a bit at a loss in his heart, he thought he would be punished in the Heavenly Prison Division, but unexpectedly he was taken to the palace...

They must want to numb themselves and get what they want, Zuo Ran thought as he lowered his head.

At this time, Xie Linxi had long forgotten about Zuo Ran.

After throwing him to Jin Yi, he went directly to Qi Jingyuan's bedroom.

After entering, he saw Qi Jingyuan sitting there lazily, with a calm expression and fire in his eyes.

Xie Linxi closed the door, walked over and sat beside him, grabbed his hand and said: "Where is the queen mother angry with the prince?"

Qi Jingyuan snorted coldly and said, "Guess what she told me."

Xie Linxi thought about it seriously and said, "Is it about the Pear Blossom Class?"

Ziyi of the Pear Blossom Class woke up early, and the Pear Blossom Class has been under house arrest in Jinghua Palace.The Empress Dowager ignored these people when she sealed it a year ago, and when she opened the seal, the Empress Dowager always found these people distasteful, and from time to time she brought a message for Qi Jingyuan to give an explanation.

Qi Jingyuan has been suppressed by the fact that he has not found out who is behind the scenes.

The Queen Mother knew that he did it on purpose, but there was nothing she could do about it. She was the one who said there was an instigator at the beginning, and now it is reasonable for Qi Jingyuan to investigate the instigator.

Xie Linxi thought about it, and this was the only thing that could annoy Qi Jingyuan to the Queen Mother.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Qi Jingyuan shook his head with a sneer.

Xie Linxi was a little surprised, he thought for a while, Qi Jingyuan called the little emperor over at that time.But he really couldn't think of what the queen mother did to make Qi Jingyuan so unhappy.

So he said: "I can't guess."

Qi Jingyuan smiled like that, a little cold and ironic in his smile, he said: "Brother Wushuang, who is so smart, can't guess it. It can be seen that the Queen Mother's idea is really different from ordinary people."

Xie Linxi's heart skipped a beat when he heard Wushuang's elder brother's call, and he said solemnly: "My lord, please advise."

Qi Jingyuan glanced at him and said quietly: "The queen mother wants to tell this king about marriage as the elder sister-in-law, saying that this king is not young, and there is no princess or anything around him, and the emperor's brother will be uneasy in the underground."

Xie Linxi's face changed instantly, and the warmth on his face disappeared. He was like a sharp sword unsheathed, showing his sharpness. He said: "The empress dowager thinks so far."

Then he thought again, Qi Jingyuan's failure to marry meant he had no heirs, and it was too late for the queen mother to be happy, so he didn't know what it meant to say such words at this time.

His eyes were on Qi Jingyuan, and he continued with a smile on his eyes: "Of course the king refused, so the queen mother expressed great regret. She said that the emperor is weak and weak. She dreamed that the emperor gave her a dream. It is said that it is to make a marriage for the emperor, and the little emperor's health will improve."

Xie Linxi looked shocked, he said: "The queen mother wants the emperor to marry?"

Qi Jingyuan nodded dispensably.

Xie Linxi sneered, he shook his head and said: "It's really absurd, the emperor's body is so weak, how can he get married? After such a toss, the emperor can bear it?"

This really makes people doubt whether the queen mother loves the emperor or wants to torture people to death.

Qi Jingyuan sighed, "Yes."

Xie Linxi really couldn't figure out what the Queen Mother was thinking, so he looked at Qi Jingyuan and said, "Where is your lord?"

Qi Jingyuan said: "My lord? This matter depends on the emperor. What's the use of my lord talking more."

In the previous life, it was a year after the Empress Dowager wanted to marry the little emperor. At that time, Qi Jingyuan vetoed it without even thinking about it.

Because of this, the Empress Dowager had been arguing with Qi Jingyuan for a long time, and spread the word that the little emperor would be healthy if he married a wife, but the regent refused to let him go, because he deliberately wanted the little emperor to decline...

Just like this sawing and sawing, it took another year to force the little emperor to get married.

For the little emperor's big wedding, he prepared with all his heart and followed the ancestral system, procrastinating and tossing for nearly a year before the little emperor got married.

He was only thinking of the little emperor, and he didn't take those rumors and things to heart, but there were too many such things, and they would all become his crimes in the future.Everything was remembered by someone with a heart, and they were written one by one, waiting for the time to attack him.

Xie Linxi heard from Qi Jingyuan's tone that he would not interfere in this matter, so he was slightly taken aback.

Qi Jingyuan didn't look at him, but lowered his head and played with his hands and said, "It depends on the emperor in the final analysis. If he is not willing, no one can force him. If he doesn't want to anger the Queen Mother, he will only admit it. Can't help him. Wushuang, you think this king did it on purpose..."

Because he wanted that position, he purposely saw the little emperor fall into such a situation.

Qi Jingyuan is not afraid of what the world thinks, but he is afraid that if Xie Linxi looks at him with strange eyes, he will go crazy.

Xie Linxi held Qi Jingyuan's cold hand with his backhand and said calmly: "If the emperor comes to Wang Ye and says that he disagrees with the marriage, will Wang Ye help him?"

Qi Jingyuan half-closed his eyes and said, "If he tells this king, this king will naturally help him." Even if the result of doing so is that the road he wants to take will be more tortuous, he admits it.

Only this time, he won't take the initiative to take everything on himself.

He wanted to see what Qi Yu would do without him.

Xie Linxi smiled, and said: "My lord's heart is still too soft. Since ancient times, the royal family has been so ruthless, and how many brothers and fathers have become enemies. At this time, my lord still thinks about the emperor, so what is my lord worried about?"

Only then did Qi Jingyuan raise his head.

Xie Linxi looked at him quietly, compared to Qi Jingyuan, Xie Linxi knew that her heart was cold.

Whether it's the queen mother or the little emperor, he can stand by and watch whoever lives or dies.

Qi Jingyuan smiled, and the smile spread on Jisheng's face.

He was thinking in his mind that in his previous life he blocked all the swords for Qi Yu, but in the end he got nothing.

In this life, he only wants this person in front of him. He has got it, but he is not satisfied. He wants to be with Xie Linxi for the rest of his life, even if he dies, he will be in a coffin.
