Chapter 41 Transition
By noon, when Zhou Ji and Fan Xian went to the street again, the leaflets all over the floor had already been collected in the inspection institute by the flowing water of Tianhe Road.
No one dared to detain the leaflets. Although the common people seldom dealt with the Overwatch Council, no one was willing to gamble with their wealth and life because of the vicious reputation of this yard.
The eunuch's response was also very quick. On the same day, he asked for an order to start the autumn school exams ahead of schedule, gathered scholars and scholars for supervision, and within half a day, the situation in Kyoto was under control.
Although there were still people on the street who would discuss the contents of the leaflet, there was a big gap compared to the raging public opinion that Fan Xian had expected.
Walking to the Liujing River, the two leaned against the fence and looked at the still bustling streets around, Fan Xian smiled wryly.
Zhou Ji poured a glass of fruit wine, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Since Chen Pingping promised to help you drive away Li Yunrui, she will definitely do it, don't think so much."
"Xiang Lin once warned me not to trust Chen Pingping, and to stay as far away from him as possible, saying that he is cunning, changeable, ruthless and ruthless." Fan Xian shook his head, and said in a deep voice, "Father also repeatedly told me to stay away from Chen Pingping, not to be with Chen Pingping. What is his relationship with?"
"But after getting along these days, I vaguely feel that his concern for me is not false." Fan Xian smiled wryly, "I just don't understand why he has to do this."
"Didn't I say it? Your mother is the white moonlight in his heart. As the ultimate licking fan, she loves the house and the crow, and it is understandable to care about you in every possible way." Zhou Ji sneered, "Only one thing is right."
"You are not Ye Qingmei after all, you still have to be vigilant towards Chen Pingping, he is buried very deep"
While speaking, a round figure hurriedly ran from a distance, and said anxiously: "Master Fan, it's not good, something happened in the palace."
Fan Xian frowned and said, "What happened?"
"Just now, Your Majesty Xuanyuan went to the palace to inquire about the Eldest Princess colluding with the Northern Qi Dynasty and betraying Yan Bingyun. I didn't expect the Eldest Princess to bite back, saying that Your Excellency met Yan Bingyun when he entered Beijing." Wang Qinian wiped the thin sweat from his forehead , I thought it took me a long time to find them, and said anxiously, "I want to blame this matter on the adults."
Fan Xian recalled the carriage he had seen on the way back to Beijing. Although the other party sat in the carriage and did not show his face, he barely saw him, so he explained: "At that time, I just passed by and didn't see each other, but I did met."
"If you just met him, then there is no problem, as long as you don't know that he is going to Beiqi."
Wang Qinian heaved a sigh of relief, a familiar smile appeared on his face, but after he finished speaking, seeing Fan Xian's somewhat embarrassed expression, the smile on his face froze halfway.
"This is a top secret!" Wang Qinian said helplessly with his eyes wide open, "You know he's going to the Northern Qi Dynasty, and now he's been arrested again. As long as the eldest princess doesn't plead guilty, even if you jump into the Liujing River, you won't be able to clear it up." gone."
Seeing Wang Qinian's anxious and angry appearance, Zhou Ji laughed beside him and said, "What did Chen Pingping say?"
Wang Qinian finally came to his senses, pulled Fan Xian away, and said anxiously, "The dean sent a message to let you go and meet him."
Fan Xian also realized the seriousness of the matter, bid farewell to Zhou Ji, and hurried towards the Inspection Institute.
Zhou Ji vaguely remembered that Li Yunrui was kicked out of Kyoto at this point in time. Although he found that many things had deviated from the original work in his memory since he came to this world, Fan Xian met Yan Bingyun. What happened before Ji came, it stands to reason that it would not have any impact.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ji stopped worrying about Li Yunrui, at least after Chen Pingping knew that Li Yunrui was determined to kill Fan Xian, she would definitely not keep her in the capital.
Fan Xian had already left, and Zhou Ji was a bit dull for a while. He was very relieved to leave the sword box with Wuzhu. Although Fan Xian had prepared a guest room for him, he still decided to return to the rouge shop in the south of the city.
Well, no.
On the other side, Chen Pingping waved Wang Qinian to step down, sat on the long couch and waved to Fan Xian, "I sent someone from Xinyang to have a taste of the tea before the rain."
Fan Xian didn't have the heart to drink tea, so he sat beside Chen Pingping and took a casual sip. The hot tea turned into a fragrance with a slight bitterness, which calmed his anxious heart a lot.
"Wang Qinian told me on the way that Li Yunrui planned to use me as a shield this time. I was behind the scenes this time and thought I wouldn't be involved, but I didn't expect to be involved anyway." Putting down his teacup, Fan Xian Shen He said: "I also understand the current situation. Unless His Majesty hears Li Yunrui and Zhuang Mohan's secret agents with his own ears, he will not be able to produce ironclad evidence to prove that she colluded with Bei Qi."
"I'm afraid it will be difficult to drive her away this time." Fan Xian sighed softly, picked up the teapot and filled a cup for Chen Pingping, and said sincerely: "But I still have to thank you, I haven't done my best, let's find another chance next time. "
Chen Pingping took the tea from Fan Xian calmly, and said quietly, "The Eldest Princess lost."
"Losing?" Fan Xian looked surprised. The matter of collusion between the eldest princess and Bei Qi had reached a stalemate. How could he lose without evidence?
"Did you know?" Chen Pingping smiled slightly, and explained: "Even if there is solid evidence, even if His Majesty knows that she colluded with Bei Qi and betrayed Yan Bingyun, she will not be kicked out of the capital."
"Why!" Fan Xian has always considered the power struggles of feudal dynasties with modern thinking, but he didn't know that ancient laws were used to restrict common people, not imperial power.
Seeing Fan Xian's perplexed look, Chen Pingping couldn't help but think back to Ye Qingmei back then. She was so innocent back then, thinking that the law could restrain the imperial power, so she was backlashed by the imperial power, leading to tragedy.
Sighed lightly, Chen Pingping continued: "After all, Li Yunrui is the eldest princess. Although she is not a blood relative, she is also a member of the royal family. No matter how serious the crime is, she will be reprimanded."
Fan Xian smiled wryly, feeling frustrated, and muttered, "So all I did was in vain?"
"I promised you that I would help you drive her out of the capital." The smile on Chen Pingping's face gradually faded, and Fan Xian's heart shuddered at the cold and gloomy look in his eyes, and he immediately remembered what Lin Xiang said to him.
"I will definitely do what I promised." Chen Pingping said in a flat tone, "I will make the most of the situation before driving today and wait for her to say that. As long as she says that you have met Yan Bingyun once, it will be over." committed a taboo."
"The fact that you met Yan Bingyun was only known to a few supervisors in the inspection institute. It is a top secret, but it was known to the Eldest Princess." Chen Pingping said in a deep voice, "She touched His Majesty's Ni Lin. "
"You mean?" Fan Xian widened his eyes and said in surprise.
"There are traitors in the inspection institute." Chen Pingping seemed to be talking about something unimportant, and continued: "The inspection institute is directly under the jurisdiction of your majesty, and her intervention in the inspection institute is to test the monarchy, which is why your majesty decided to drive her back to the fief." reason."
"Then what should we do now?" Fan Xian calmed down a little, frowning.
"Find out the traitor and eradicate future troubles." Chen Pingping said in a deep voice.
"This person hides so deeply, he must be a high-ranking and powerful person, and he knows everything about the inspection institute very well. If he did something in the court, he might startle the snake." Fan Xian hesitated for a moment, and looked at Chen Pingping.
Chen Pingping chuckled and said, "You want Zhou Ji to help?"
Fan Xian scratched his head, feeling a little inappropriate. Zhou Ji had helped him too much during this time, and now it would be too much to ask him to ask the senior management of the Inspection Institute.
Chen Pingping shook her head and chuckled, and said kindly: "I have made a complete plan, as long as I have you is enough."
