Chapter 259 Confiscation of the White House (1)
Following the order after order from Prince Ping's Mansion, notices were issued one after another.The people in the closed city also noticed that the closed city seems to be a little different.

On this day, Ouyang Ye came back to report. The case of Mrs. Bai's murder had reached a stalemate. There were no witnesses, and the physical evidence was not complete enough.Under such circumstances, it seems that the case can only be closed in this way or become an unsolved case.

This result was already expected by Yuan Xi. Naturally, Baishi, an old fox, would not leave traces so easily. This time, thanks to the presence of Ouyang Ye and the things he gave him, It will put this Shiraishi in a dangerous situation.However, according to Ouyang Ye, the fact that the account books were only found is not enough, and from the mouths of the servants of his mansion, nothing can be found out.Therefore, the matter of the account book is extremely difficult.

Yuan Xi looked at the group of veterans kneeling in front of him, they were all protecting Baishi, a gleam flashed in Yuan Xi's eyes, unexpectedly, just a little probing, turned out the foundation of Baishi!

"My lords, get up first, and this king will think about it again. After all, this matter is related to the taxation of my sealed city, and the interests of the people in my sealed city. The meaning of my lords, this king understands. How is Bai Xiang? This king also understands a little bit. This king will not wrong an upright official, but he will never condone a corrupt official! You all step down."

All the adults looked at each other, said no more, and stepped back one after another.

Ouyang Ye retreated to the door, Yuan Xi shouted: "Lord Ouyang stay!"

Ouyang Ye paused, turned around, and said respectfully, "My lord! What else do you want?"

"I heard that Madam Ouyang is from the Fu family?"

"Exactly, my wife is the eldest daughter of the Fu family."

"Well, but Mr. Fu Yan's granddaughter?"

Ouyang Ye was startled. Mr. Fu Yan used to be the teacher of the emperor and the current emperor's benefactor, but he only taught for two years. At that time, the emperor was just an inconspicuous prince.Later, Mr. Fu realized that there were going to be great changes in Beijing, and he didn't want to do something against his will, so he resigned early and returned to his hometown.Unexpectedly, after so many years, His Royal Highness Prince Ping still remembers this matter?After all, Mr. Fu is not considered to be the emperor's serious teacher, and the emperor did not ascend the throne until three years after he left the capital.

Ouyang Ye's heart was turbulent at this time, thinking, what kind of intentions is this King Ping having?How strong is it?Now that Mr. Fu is mentioned suddenly, is he thinking about it?

Seeing that he was a little nervous, Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Your Majesty Ouyang, don't be nervous. I just asked casually. How is Mr. Fu's health now?"

"Go back to your lord, Fu Lao's body is quite strong!"

"My lord heard that Mr. Fu married only one wife in his life, and had only one son, named Fu Ning. Lord Ouyang, I heard that you, father-in-law, are very talented and well-educated!"

"Returning to the lord, my father-in-law is indeed very knowledgeable, I am ashamed of myself! In the past, when I encountered some puzzles in my studies, I would often ask him for advice."

"He is a descendant of Mr. Fu! He is really talented! I just don't know why he is willing to be a small county magistrate?"

"Returning to the lord, the father-in-law of the minister, like the humble minister, does not like flattery and is not good at socializing, so he has not been promoted."

Yuan Xi nodded, "Well, it's all right. This king has nothing else to do. Just step back."

"Yes." Ouyang Ye took a peek at King Ping who was standing sideways behind the desk, seeing that there was no expression of joy or anger on his face, he felt a little apprehensive, and retreated carefully.

Yuan Xi walked to the window, stood there for a long time, and then said lightly: "Come out."

Wushang should land on the ground, "Master!"

"Wuji has arrived at the pro-barracks?"

"Yes! Now we have started training."

"Have you done everything you ordered?"

"Return to the master, everything is ready. I am waiting for your order."

Yuan Xi nodded, "Okay! Let's do it tomorrow! In a few days, the king will visit the outskirts of the closed city. Naturally, he will bring a large number of officials with him. Please disclose the news to Ouyang Ye. Remember, don't reveal it. trace."

"Yes! Don't worry, master! This subordinate will definitely handle it well." After speaking, he jumped onto the beam again, and the study was completely silent!
In Wenhua Courtyard, Jingyi is practicing calligraphy at the desk.Liu Xing'er lifted the curtain and came in and said, "Sister Haitang is here too? Just in time, shopkeeper Su is here and is waiting to answer the princess in the front hall." After speaking, she cast a playful look at Haitang.

Jingyi heard the words, put down the pen, and said: "Oh? Su Hua is back? It's just right, Haitang and I will go and have a look."

When they arrived at the front hall, they saw Su Hua standing there in a dusty suit, with a layer of beard stubble growing on his chin.

"Greetings to the princess!" Su Hua knelt down and bowed.

"Okay, don't be polite. There are no outsiders here, so you don't have to be polite."

"His Royal Highness, Princess Xie." After finishing speaking, Su Hua got up, stood aside, took out a seemingly thick letter from his arms, and handed it to Haitang.

When Haitang approached to receive the letter, she looked at him affectionately, her lips moved slightly, but she didn't say anything.Turning around, he presented the things to Jingyi.

Jingyi opened it and glanced at it briefly: "Su Hua, you did a good job this time! These days, I will take a good rest in the mansion for a few days. Haitang, you don't want to come to Wenhua Academy these days. I will let you Nanny He and Si Hua took care of it. It's my fault that you and your husband have been separated for such a long time! You don't need to serve here, go back and have a good rest. Su Hua, come here again tomorrow morning, I have something to do Tell you to do it."

"Yes! Little one will leave." After Su Hua finished speaking, he glanced at Haitang, then turned around and left.

"Haitang, I didn't say that you don't need to serve here. Go now! I know you love your husband-in-law!" Jingyi joked.

Haitang blushed when she heard this, "Princess, why do you like to tease slaves so much!" After speaking, she saluted and went back to the small courtyard that the concubine gave to their family to live in.

Jingyi watched Haitang retreat, and the smile on her face gradually receded.Picking up the letter in his hand again, he read it carefully.

After an unknown amount of time, Si Hua said: "Princess, it's time for lunch. The prince is already waiting in the flower hall."

"Yuanxi is here too? Doesn't he know I'm in the front hall?"

"My lord went directly from the study to the Wenhua Academy. Knowing that you were not there, I went directly to the flower hall to wait for you."

"Understood. Let's go to the flower hall."

After entering the flower hall, lunch is already set.Yuan Xi took her hand and said, "I'm about to order someone to look for you in the front hall. The food is getting cold. Eat quickly."

Jingyi shook her head, "I can't eat it!"

"What's wrong? Not feeling well?"

Jing Yi glanced at Yuan Xi with a sad face, and then ordered: "You all retreat." After everyone retreated, Jing Yi winked at Si Hua again, and a group of people waited to guard the door of the flower hall outside.
