Qi Wenyan only returned to his room in the official residence late at night.

Dali Temple is located on the yamen in the city. Usually, it only uses one or two courts and several wing rooms to investigate cases. The place is very large and there are many idle courtyards and rooms. He then chose a yard nearby to live in.

There are many people in the Dali Temple, from the Dali Temple ministers to the lower-level yamen runners and officials. However, except for a few yamen servants who were on duty on the night, most of them are married or unmarried...

If you have a tiled tiles at home, you will not stay here at night.

No other reason—

In the Dali Temple Yamen, countless cases have been confirmed throughout the year, and over the years, countless prisoners have been killed, which is really unlucky.

Even the prisoners locked in the dark prison often couldn't stand it. They cried and howled in the middle of the night, which was really heartbreaking.

Logically speaking, even if Qi Wenyan, a new civil servant who was born in the Jinshi period, became the prison officer...

People who read a lot of sages should be more afraid of ghosts and gods.

But he doesn't!

Since returning to Beijing to perform his duties and entered Dali Temple, he has accompanied him and his master and servant stayed in this courtyard.

You should say that he was homeless because he was disagreeing with the Qi family of the Changning Marquis' Mansion. Last year, when he was promoted to Shaoqing of Dali Temple by the emperor for his contribution to handling the case, he gave him a house, but he didn't even look at it, so he continued to live in the yamen.

Qi Zhengyu was still very upset about this matter.

Originally, he was a child of the Qi family and had not yet married, so he should have lived at home. After the emperor gave him a reward, he had some idea of ​​warning the Qi family, which was equivalent to standing up for him in disguise. This made Qi Zhengyu feel a little frightened.

As a result, the house was given away, but he still refused to move in?

Qi Zhengyu felt that this evil was deliberately against him and embarrassed him, and reminded the people in the capital at all times-

He Qi Zhengyu has no character and is also harsh on his concubine's son.

But with the emperor on it, he vomited blood even if he was so angry...

I can't even ask this concubine to go back and scold her, so I'm so frustrated.

On Qi Wenyan's side, he completely ignored the father in his family who was so angry that he was about to get rid of his hair, and lived in the yamen, making him feel more and more comfortable.

Sometimes it suddenly rises in the middle of the night, and I ask the yamen runners who are on duty at night to go to the prison for overtime to examine the prisoners and so on.

It is definitely a strange flower in the officialdom within the capital.

When the two of the God-Masters and servants came back, even the only old servant in charge of cleaning in the yard went to bed.

Qi Wenyan did not have the pretentious habit of being arrogant, extravagant and despicable, and he drew a well in the yard and took a shower and changed his clothes.

His personal companion put all the clothes he had changed into a wooden basin and left them for the old servant to clean tomorrow. Then he went to the kitchen to bring him food.

Dali Temple has its own kitchen, mainly serving lunch for everyone.

There are few people who will eat here for breakfast and dinner. In addition, the chef is used to this Shaoqing of Dali Temple who goes out early and comes back late and doesn't eat properly. Now he leaves food for their master and servant every night. Sometimes he even cooks two side dishes alone and flatters.

It was late that night and there were no outsiders present. Qi Wenyan gave a wink and signaled his in-person to sit down and eat together.

This relative was a few years older than him. He had followed him since he was very young. Before, he went to work outside, and sometimes he was sleeping in the open for a bad meal...

The friendship between the master and the servant is deep, but it is a bit of a relationship that is both servant and friend.

Their personal followers were not afraid, and the master and servant ate silently, and the etiquette and rules of "don't speak" at the dinner table were well followed.

It was not until he finished his meal and cleaned up the dishes and asked: "The things in the palace in the daytime are a bit strange. If it was just a simple theft, it would be too coincidental. However, the young master of the Yang family has only been in the capital for more than a month, and he stayed in the Marquis' Mansion most of the time. He rarely went out and wandered around. I have never heard of offending anyone, let alone... he was still in the palace."

Qi Wenyan got up to cleanse his hands, and his face always had a cold expression as always: "It's not a grudge, but only an old grudge. What a place in the palace, even if the hand is owed... He stole mine, it's safer than stealing a young man who entered the palace for the first time. If this newcomer doesn't understand the rules and starts to make trouble in the palace on the spot, things will be a big deal."

The girl Qi Huan went to report this "theft case" to him, with a cautious mind and prepared for any incidents.

But he was not that simple girl. From the very beginning, he decided that something was wrong with this matter.

I followed me silently for a while and didn't respond again.

The tray that was packed was put aside for the time being, and then the brewed strong tea was waiting.

Qi Wenyan washed his hands, turned around and walked over to take the tea soup from his hand and rinse his mouth.

The follower said again: "This matter looks very strange!"

It's not like being targeted at Changning's Marquis' Mansion, otherwise the target of attacking Qi Yuanming, and it's impossible that Yang Qingyun, who is related to the Qi family, would be just Yang Qingyun.

"Since it's not about the Qi family, it's nothing more than just for the sister-in-law or the parents' home behind her." Qi Wenyan said.

"Then..." He followed the words and expressions, "Master, do you want to ask about this?"

He refused to ask about the Qi family's affairs except for the big house Qi Wenjing. Now if it is trouble for Yang's parents...

It seemed that he had no reason to find trouble.

"The matter was in the palace, and I was not able to do anything. Even if it was a stolen case, it was not my turn to intervene in dealing with it." Unexpectedly, Qi Wenyan's attitude towards this matter was completely beyond his material.

Unexpectedly, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "You... want to care?"

Qi Wenyan said: "No matter whether it is the eldest sister-in-law's business or the affairs of her mother's family... She has raised the whole house of Changning Hou Mansion for more than twenty years. Let's not talk about the ones next to her, but as far as the elder brother is concerned, no matter whether the husband and wife are in love, the elder sister-in-law has any matter at this moment, and it is the elder brother who should spare no effort to bear it for her."

But the troubles of the Yang family or the Yang family actually caused the palace.

I think Yang didn't expect Qi Wenjing at all.

Now that his brother cannot protect her...

Someone has to take on this matter for her.

No matter what Yang has concealed the Qi family over the years, it is a fact that she has truly won the entire Qi family for 20 years of prosperity and prosperity.

Although Qi Wenyan personally, his favor from Yang can be regarded as the least in the entire Qi family, he will be repaid with all his grudges and taste them. This is the bottom line of being a human being. He cannot be used as an excuse for a person who is "he is originally a cold person" to erase it with peace of mind.

What's more—

It was not just for Yang, but also for Qi Wenjing.

What his brother once gave him was not just a small favor!

Since he is beyond his ability, he should pay his respects to protect his wife and daughter.

Qi Wenyan said: "Starting tomorrow, I will ask people to keep an eye on the news about the Qi family, especially the brother and sister-in-law. If there is any special news, I will immediately report it to me."

He naturally understood the meaning of his brotherhood between him and Qi Wenjing. Seeing that he had made up his mind, he no longer questioned: "Yes, my subordinates will go down and make arrangements immediately."

Qi Wenyan remembered something temporarily, but also gave an additional reminder: "Oh, and that girl, she is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so I'll keep an eye on it."

This is not a good thing.

But at this moment, he said it from the cold-hearted and cold-hearted Master Qi San, but he didn't hear the slightest malice, but instead...

How much comfort is there for my family to grow up? Even pride?!

The follower felt that he must be too sleepy and misunderstood. He shouted and quickly took the pallet back.

On the Qi family, Yang Qingyun was unable to get rid of the little-moist Qi Yuanchen. After talking to Yang, he tried several times but still couldn't save his robe.

He could take off his robe and get out.

Yang also has some clothes from Qi Wenjing here, which can be replaced for him to respond to emergency...

But it was late at night, and even my nephew would not be appropriate to change her clothes and go out with her.

In the end, it was really impossible, so Yang Qingyun could only take the child away, take him back to the front yard, and sleep with his arms around him.

This is just a small episode and it is not harmful.

After that, the two people in the mansion couldn't help but become nervous again in tacit understanding and silently, waiting for the final results after the palace examination.

Qi Huan is still not obsessed with this matter. In her opinion, as long as Yang Qingyun's title of Jinshi is stable, it will be equivalent to achieving the ultimate goal. No matter which one ranks, there will be officials anyway.

As for the tricks in the officialdom, she was not the director, and she didn't have the energy to worry about it. Instead, she paid attention to the movements in the palace to prevent the Jade Pendant from going after the incident.

As a result, the incident seemed to be just a temporary theft case, and then it was sank to the sea and nothing happened again.

However, Yang's side was obviously different from her. During this period, she specially asked the cook to make some side dishes that Qi Wenjing liked, invited him to come in person, and asked him to find a relationship as much as possible, and to find an errand position in the capital no matter what, she would also ask Yang Qingyun to find an errand position in the capital.

Qi Wenjing originally regarded Yang Qingyun as his nephew, and Yang made this request to him for the first time, so he naturally agreed without saying anything.

When he asked him to clear the relationship, the relationship he had was limited, so he naturally thought of his third brother for a moment.

The next day I went to talk about this matter with Qi Wenyan.

This time he went there with confidence, not because he wanted to repay kindness.

Before, Qi Wenyan said that he could have an errand for Qi Yuanxu, but he refused without thinking because he knew that Qi Yuanxu was not qualified enough, so he asked Qi Wenyan to do this by relying on the other party's favor and face in the officialdom to buy errands.

But this time Yang Qingyun is not.

He had already passed the Jinshi exam based on his ability, so the court should have arranged serious errands for him.

Yang did not ask for anything that must be a fat man, or he ordered Shujishi to steal the big errands like this, but he was worried that he would go out to be less than twenty years old and wanted to stay in the capital as much as possible.

Anyway, the same grade of errands are actually quite good at spreading. He doesn't want to go, and there are always people who are rushing to go.

This matter does not cost Qi Wenyan any favors.

Qi Wenjing came over and said sincerely: "Your sister-in-law is very strong. If it were not for the last resort, she would not even speak to me. She would be particularly soft-hearted just to these children. Yun'er's child is only nineteen this year, so she would definitely be worried. And..."

At this point, he couldn't help but sigh: "You should know that in the early years, her brother was left outside when he was out of office, and she would inevitably have this knot in her heart. I also asked Yun'er, and he was willing to stay in the capital. His elder brother was not always at home, so he was convenient for taking care of his family. Anyway, he didn't expect to rely on his salary to support his family, and there was no need to worry too much about his position. If you have colleagues in the Ministry of Personnel and Hanlin who can speak, please say hello to us."

As he said that, he took a stack of silver notes from his sleeve and put them on the table and pushed them to Qi Wenyan.
