Dafeng's Night Squad

114 Chapter 107-atonement (1)

Instantly, the princes and princesses all turned their heads and looked at the eldest Princess. The princess of Lin an who was hugging Emperor Yuan jing’s arm also could not help but look over.

The Crown Prince glanced at the eldest Princess.

The same thought appeared in their minds at the same time:Huaiqing wanted to promote his own people again.

There were two ways for the princes and princesses to expand their forces.He wanted to win over the officials and make them his supporters. 2. Promote trusted aides.

The former was because Emperor Yuan jing had a strong desire to control and was very good at scheming. The other princes, including the Crown Prince, did not dare to openly form a faction.

The latter was their usual method.

However, it also depended on the timing. The princes and princesses felt that this was not a good time, because the task was too difficult.

Emperor Yuan jing squinted his eyes and smiled,”who do you have in mind?”

“The night watchman is the Yamen’s gong, Xu Qi ‘an,” the eldest Princess replied.

The second Princess was suddenly enlightened. ah! she exclaimed and said innocently, “”Is it the gong that appeared to admire big sister on the day of the ancestral worship? Elder sister was still talking and laughing with him.”

These words were vicious!

In front of Emperor Yuan jing, he secretly tricked the eldest Princess.

The eldest Princess was not married yet. Even though Emperor Yuan jing had been obsessed with cultivation these years and did not like to care about the marriage of his sons and daughters, the eldest Princess was still not married. But why did the princess always attract so many girls?

“Father, you should have heard of this man. He is the nephew of the Imperial saber guard Centurion, Xu Pingzhi, who was involved in the tax case,” the eldest Princess continued.

Emperor Yuan jing’s interest was finally piqued,”I remember that there was such a person who refined fake silver.” If it wasn’t for the inconvenience of keeping fake silver and the huge consumption of salt, I would have asked the Directorate of Celestials to make it in large quantities.”

The fake silver was made of salt, which was too expensive. After hearing the report from the Directorate of Celestials, Emperor Yuan jing gave up the idea of mass-producing the fake silver.

not only that, when this person was on duty in Changle County, his performance was excellent and he solved many murder cases. The eldest Princess added fuel to the fire.

“In that case, you don’t have to do anything unnecessary,” Emperor Yuan jing said with a smile.

The eldest Princess lowered her head and was sincerely convinced. father is wise. Just yesterday, Xu Qi ‘an, the copper Gong, had a conflict with a silver Gong from the Yamen. He was severely injured with one strike. According to the law, those who went against their superiors should be cut at the waist.

Now that he’s locked up in the dungeon, your son can ask Imperial father to allow him to atone for his crimes.”

The eldest Princess did not explain the reason for the conflict, nor did she defend Xu Qi ‘an, because she knew that none of this was important.

His Imperial father didn’t care who was right or wrong. He only cared about who was useful and who could do things.

As expected, Emperor Yuan jing nodded without hesitation and said, “”Alright, since huaiqing has pleaded for him, I’ll allow him to atone for his mistakes and assist in the investigation. If we can’t catch the real culprit who destroyed the Taizu temple within half a month, I’ll behead him directly.”

“Thank you, Father.”

....

The princes and princesses left the Royal study and met up with their guards. The eldest Princess took her sword from the guard Captain.

The second Princess held the arm of her brother, the Crown Prince, and whispered, “”Aiya, huaiqing beat me to it.”

The Crown Prince shook his head. it might not be a good thing. Even Wei Yuan finds this case tricky. Huaiqing is just making a casual move. It was an unexpected surprise that the gong could really solve the case. If it doesn’t work, huaiqing won’t suffer any losses, but he’ll be cut in half.”

“Hmph, huaiqing’s heart is so black.” The second Princess wrinkled her small nose and asked, “”Brother, what’s going on with the mountain river temple in Yongzhen?”

As they walked, the Crown Prince looked around and said in a low voice, “”This case isn’t simple, or Wei Yuan wouldn’t be so worried. I’m afraid only father knows the secret.”

‘Of course, I’ll know in the future ...’ He added in his heart. At the same time, the state preceptor’s pure face appeared in his mind, and his heart was full of resentment.

“Lin an!”

The eldest Princess suddenly shouted, stopping the siblings.

The Crown Prince and second Princess turned their heads together. The princess of Lin an replied fiercely,”What are you doing!”

She took the opportunity to hug her Crown Prince brother’s arm tightly.

“It’s nothing ...” The eldest eunuch walked over with his sword in hand.

As the siblings relaxed at the same time, he suddenly whipped the second princess’s perky butt with his sword.

In the pain, the second princess’s face first turned white, and after a few seconds, she burst into tears. She pointed at the eldest Princess and screamed,”Huaiqing, I’m going to kill you.”

The brothers and sisters of the royal family came over to persuade him hypocritically, acting as the peacemakers.

“Huaiqing, you’ve gone too far,” the Crown Prince said in a low voice with a straight face.

“It is only to test Lin ‘an’s martial arts. If Lin’ an is not convinced, you can also test bengong.” The eldest Princess turned around, her black hair spreading out with a “shua” sound. She was agile and beautiful.

The second Princess looked at her back and cried, “”I’m going to complain to my father,”

another day, ” the Crown Prince said helplessly. father doesn’t have the mood to deal with you now.

If there were any conflicts or fights between the princes, Emperor Yuan jing would definitely intervene and punish them severely.

When the princesses fought, everyone would try to keep the peace.

The main reason was that most of the princes had practiced martial arts, so they would be injured if they fought. Among the princesses, only the eldest Princess practiced martial arts. If the other princesses fought, the more elegant ones would slap them, but if they were impatient, they would grab their hair and bite.

If it damaged the royal family’s face, they would not be willing to go up the line and would usually resolve it in private.

Princess Lin an gritted her little silver teeth and muttered a curse,”Just you wait, I’m going to snatch all your things.”

.....

The next morning.

Wei Yuan, who had just finished his meditation, received a verbal order from the palace.
