Recently, Yu Linwei has been closely watching every move of the Su family.

After they collected the information from the inquiries, they handed it over to Xiao Xixi.

Xiao Xixi opened the booklet and looked at the information about the Su family recorded in it.

Two days ago, the Su family suddenly dismissed a group of servants.

The reason for the Su family to the outside world is that these servants are too old and can no longer serve the Su family. The love of the Su family in the past years has not only returned them the deed of betrayal, but also sent them a batch of money so that they can Go home to retire.

The number of this batch of servants is about twenty, both men and women, and they are indeed relatively old.

The booklet records the names and ages of these servants, but I don't know the specifics, and further investigation is required.

Due to the large number and the fact that these servants scattered after leaving the Su family, it would take a lot of time to find out all their details.

At present, Yu Linwei is still under investigation, and Xiao Xixi can only wait for their results.

At the same time, a post envoy rode a fast horse and rushed into Shengjing City at a very fast speed.

He rushed to the gate of the palace in one breath, took out the letter in his arms and put it in the hands of the guards in front of the palace.

"Urgent report! Quickly present it to the emperor!"

The imperial guard did not dare to delay, and hurried to the imperial study.

The secret letter was placed on the desk by Eunuch Chang's hand.

Luo Qinghan put down the unfinished memorial in his hand, picked up the sealed letter, first looked at the opening of the envelope, made sure there was no sign of being unsealed, and then opened it.

There was only a thin piece of letter paper inside.

Luo Qinghan's face sank instantly after reading the contents of the letter.

Seeing this, Eunuch Chang, who was standing beside him, felt a little nervous. What happened?

Soon he knew.

This letter was sent from Raohe County, which is the only place to go from Shengjing City to Fengyang County.

The letter stated that Li Qingyan, the newly appointed censor, was unfortunately encountered by mountain bandits while passing through this place.

As for Li Qingyan himself, he fell into the cliff together with the carriage.

Under the cliff is the turbulent river.

When the magistrate of Raohe County learned of this, he had sent someone to salvage the river, but only the wreckage of the carriage was recovered, and Li Qingyan was not found.

Judging from the situation at the scene, Li Qingyan should have more luck than luck.

Even though he was already mentally prepared, Luo Qinghan was still very angry when he really knew the news.

In the early morning of the next day, Luo Qinghan was furious in front of the civil and military officials.

"A dignified official of the imperial court will encounter mountain bandits in broad daylight. Did those mountain bandits eat the guts of bears and leopards?!"

Everyone in the courtroom was silent and did not dare to make a sound.

Luo Qinghan's eyes swept over these people.

He knew very well that the so-called mountain bandits were just a cover.

The reason is that some people don't want to see tax reform go smoothly.

The people behind the scenes are clearly going at Li Qingyan, but they are actually protesting to the emperor?

As for the person behind the scenes, you can guess without even thinking about it, and it must be inseparable from the family.

How many of these officials in the court are on the side of the aristocratic family?

How many were insiders or even accomplices of Li Qingyan's murder?

Luo Qinghan angrily flicked his sleeves and left.

Usually, when he encounters such major events, he will call the ministers to the imperial study room to discuss how to solve the current trouble after the court.

But today, he didn't even look at the cabinet ministers, and after leaving the council hall, he sat in the dragon carriage.

"Go to Yunxiu Palace."

...

In Yunxiu Palace, Xiao Xixi was looking at the little grapes on the grape trellis.

Those clusters of small flowers are gone, replaced by clusters of green grapes.

The grapes are very small because they are not yet ripe.

They must be sour just by looking at them.

Xiao Xixi silently hopes that they will ripen soon, so that she can eat sweet and sour grapes earlier.

Zhezhi walked over quickly: "Niangniang, the emperor is here."

Xiao Xixi is very surprised, doesn't the emperor work in the imperial study at this time on weekdays? Why did you suddenly come here today?

With his workaholic personality, he won't skip work unless the sky is broken.

She was about to go out to meet her when the emperor came to the backyard first.

As soon as Xiao Xixi saw his cold face, he instantly understood.

This is angry again!

Xiao Xixi pulled him to sit under the grape trellis, turned her head and instructed Baoqin.

"Bring the ice bean paste."

"Here."

Soon, two bowls of freshly chilled mung bean paste were brought to the emperor and concubine.

The bean paste is also added with lily and longan meat, which is sweet and refreshing.

Xiao Xixi: "Come on, have some iced bean paste and get angry."

Luo Qing said with a cold face, "I won't eat it."

Xiao Xixi coaxed: "This is very sweet, you can taste it."

She scooped up the bean paste with a silver spoon and brought it to his mouth.

Luo Qinghan was still indifferent as the whole world owed him money, but his thin lips opened slightly to catch the mung bean paste she fed.

The cold bean paste flows into the stomach along the esophagus, and the sweet taste remains in the mouth.

The anger that was still surging just now dissipated a little.

Xiao Xixi looked at him with a smile: "Is it delicious?"

Luo Qinghan didn't speak.

He directly dragged the person into his arms, leaned over and pressed it, and kissed her lips fiercely.

Xiao Xixi was taken aback.

She instinctively wanted to step back, but he held her tighter.

The kiss was very intense, as if to vent all the emotions accumulated in the chest.

Xiao Xixi felt that her lips were bitten, blood spilled out, and was quickly licked clean by the other party.

A fishy and sweet taste filled the mouths of the two of them.

At this time, the weather was already very warm, and both of them were wearing thin clothes.

Xiao Xixi could clearly feel how hot the arms around her waist were.

The heat penetrated into her body through the thin clothes, as if it would melt her whole body.

Silent early summer morning, sunny and breezy.

The two people under the grape trellis were tightly entangled.

Like vines wrapped around a wooden frame.

No one can separate them.

a long time.

The kiss is over.

Luo Qinghan stepped back a little, but still hugged her waist with both hands, and didn't mean to let go.

He looked down at Xiao Xixi's lips.

The lips were red and swollen from the kiss, and there was a small wound on it, and a small drop of blood slowly emerged from the wound.

He raised his right hand and brushed his fingertips hard against her lips.

The blood was wiped with a scarlet trace, which dyed her lips beautifully.

There is a decadent beauty that blooms to the extreme and is about to wither.

Xiao Xixi couldn't help frowning because of the slight tingling from the wound on her lips.

"Kiss is so cruel, are you going to eat me in one bite?"
