After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

Chapter 355 This is all too coincidental

The driver freed his hands and lowered the curtain to cover the inside of the carriage tightly, saying, "It's windy outside, so it's better to lower the curtain. You two should sit tight inside."

The carriage sped up suddenly.

Yuan Qing lifted up the corner of his robe and tied Yaya tightly to his body. He stood up and squatted in the carriage, trying to keep his body as low as possible.

Yaya also held her breath and stayed quietly in her arms.

Yuan Qing listened to the noise outside, and when the time was right, he pulled down the curtain, threw it on the coachman, and kicked him off the carriage.

She pushed off the shaft with one foot, jumped onto the horse, and turned around to cut the connection between the horse and the carriage.

The carriage collapsed the moment it hit the ground, shocking passers-by.

A woman stared blankly at the broken carriage.

Yuan Qing reined in the horse and got off carrying Yaya.

Yaya stroked her chest, her eyes filled with unconcealable excitement.

"Is it fun?" Yuan Qing asked her.

Yaya took a few breaths to calm down, "It's fun!"

The driver had just emerged from behind the curtain, rubbing his buttocks and cursing.

Yuan Qing picked him up and threw him into the middle of the road. "It seems that the fall didn't hurt you at all. How can you still have the energy to curse?"

The driver rolled his eyes, and immediately pretended to be unable to move, then fell to the ground and screamed, "It hurts so much!"

Yuan Qing just stood there, folding his arms and watching him act.

The people who were watching the fun have gathered around and are pointing and talking about the scene.

"I saw it clearly just now. It was this young man who kicked the man to the ground. It would be strange if his bones were not broken after falling from such a high place!"

"They really don't treat us civilians as human beings. They beat us up and kill us whenever they want. This is under the rule of the emperor, but these people can commit crimes in the streets. It's really unfair! Just because you are rich and powerful, you can do whatever you want?"

Yuan Qing hid Yaya behind him and stared at the woman who was adding fuel to the fire.

"Are you finished?"

Everyone was stunned.

"After you finish talking, it's my turn to speak."

Yuan Qing signaled to An San who was hiding in the crowd, and An San stretched out his hand to push the woman out.

The woman was at a loss for what to do and stood there in panic, "I..."

"If I remember correctly, this sister-in-law should be the one who beat the drum and cried out for justice outside the government office a few days ago?" Yuan Qing walked over and grabbed her wrist, revealing the gold bracelet inside. "But didn't your daughter just die a few days ago? How come you still have the heart to go shopping in the city?"

The woman had not expected this situation and she panicked. She struggled with her arms to hide the bracelet.

Yuan Qing let her go, and suddenly thought of something, and asked sharply: "Where is your man?"

The woman avoided his gaze and just said, "I don't know."

Yuan Qing took Yaya by the hand and was about to leave.

But the woman knelt down, hugged her legs and said, "You can't leave. I absolutely can't let you leave today!"

Yuan Qing lowered his eyes, "Let go!"

"I can't let you go!" the woman cried, "If you leave, we will have no way to survive!"

Yuan Qing repeated: "Let go!"

The woman was stunned by the cold shout. Yuan Qing took the opportunity to pull out his legs, picked up Yaya and mounted the horse.

The woman reacted quickly and stood in front of the horse.

Yuan Qing hurriedly reined in his horse and angrily said, "Are you going to die?!"

“Even if I have to sacrifice my life, I can’t let you go!” The woman looked mentally disturbed. She shook her head frantically, her face full of tears. “If you leave, they won’t let us go!”

"The Imperial Army is investigating the case. Outsiders please keep out of the way!"

There was a loud shout from behind, and the people heard it and hurriedly made way.

The leader Yuan Yi led a team of imperial guards and walked into the crowd.

He pulled the woman away, asked the people behind him to help watch, walked over to Yuan Qing and whispered in his ear: "Something happened at the Dali Temple!"

Yuan Qing's expression was startled. "What?"

"I didn't have time to take a closer look, but I heard it wasn't very good."

Yuan Qing held the reins, bent down and looked at Yaya, "Why don't you follow this brother first? I have to rush back to the Dali Temple to discuss something with your brother Jiang."

Yaya didn't make a fuss this time and was carried off the horse by Yuan Yi. She nodded and said, "I will follow this big brother well."

Yuan Qing rubbed her head, clamped his legs lightly around the horse's belly, and headed straight towards the Dali Temple.

She didn't go through the main gate. After she climbed down the wall, she found that there were many officials standing in the yard.

"What are you..."

They all turned their heads away awkwardly.

What should they say about this? They can't just say they are just here to watch the fun, right?

Yuan Qing didn't bother to argue with them. He walked towards Jiang Qisheng's yard and ran into the anxious-looking servant boy.

"Master Gong, you are back!"

"Take me to find your young master!"

Jiang Qisheng sat at the table, his clothes were neat and tidy, and he looked much calmer, but there was a hint of death in his eyes.

The pen in his hand broke, and the splinter from the broken end pierced his palm, but he didn't feel it at all.

Yuan Qing felt a sinking feeling in his heart when he saw this.

The most worrying situation finally happened.

The noise from outside continued to come in: "How can you be a judge if you close the case so hastily? You might as well hang yourself on a beam as soon as possible!"

The servant boy hurried to close the windows and doors.

"What's the point of closing the door?" Yuan Qing stood by the window. "I can't hear it with my ears, but I can still hear it clearly in my heart and mind."

Jiang Qisheng raised his head in a daze.

Yuan Qing asked the book boy: "Why didn't you inform me?"

The servant boy said anxiously, "I went there, but after calling for a long time, I didn't see Miss Gong Er. I only saw a mute servant. I gave her a few simple instructions and she came back."

Yuan Qing found it a little strange.

My second sister would never leave home easily. If she was not at home, something must have happened that she was particularly concerned about.

Yuan Qing opened the door and walked out, followed by his servant.

"Master Gong, where are you going?"

"Let's go meet this 'sufferer'." Yuan Qing said, "No matter what, the matter must be resolved."

Dali Temple Minister Tang Heyi was invited into the palace a long time ago and has not come out until now.

Tang He entered the palace and Lu Zhao left Beijing secretly. If he had been caught like that, there would be almost no one in the entire Dali Temple who could speak for Jiang Qisheng.

There is no need to say much about the others.

Some people, like Chen Xingwei, watch the show behind closed doors, while others stay out of it to protect themselves. There are not many people left who can do anything.

It was all too much of a coincidence.

Is he here just for Jiang Qisheng?

Whose interests did he block?

"Master Jiang did not make a random judgment. All the evidence is clearly listed here. You and your wife also signed your names on that day. If you don't believe me, you can come forward and check it out!"

Yu Shen's voice clearly entered Yuan Qing's ears.

Yuan Qing pressed his shoulder, and his eyes immediately fell on the middle-aged man who was lying drunk on the ground like a puddle of mud.

"Are you Shi Dani's father?"

The middle-aged man raised his drunken eyes, wiped his face with his dirty hands, and muttered, "Who are you?"

"I am an official from the Dali Temple." Yuan Qing looked at him, "You can ask me any questions you have and I will help you answer them."

The middle-aged man burped, lay on the ground, turned his upper body, and rubbed his palms on his clothes again and again.

"I don't believe what you say. It's said that officials protect each other..." He pointed at the thing in Yu Shen's hand, "I can't read, how do I know if it's a fake you made to fool me?"

After saying this, he lay on the ground, looking as if he was going to stay at the gate of Dali Temple and not leave.

Yuan Qing ordered someone to bring a table and chairs, and served a bowl of fragrant steamed meat.

It has bright color, attractive aroma and looks delicious.

The middle-aged man's eyes widened at the aroma and his stomach growled.

Yuan Qing picked up a piece of meat and shook it in front of him, "Smell it, does it smell good?"

The middle-aged man's face froze and he continued to lie on the ground and act like a scoundrel.

Yuan Qing deliberately moved the meat in front of his eyes. A drop of fragrant broth fell underneath and seemed about to drip down.

The middle-aged man couldn't take his eyes off it once he set his eyes on it. He opened his mouth subconsciously, hoping that the drop of broth would fall accurately into his mouth.

At the moment when the broth was about to fall, Yuan Qing moved his hand away, and the broth dripped onto the ground.

When the middle-aged man was feeling sorry for the wasted broth, she called out, "Ah Huang!"

Ah Huang is a dog raised by Lu Zhao, and he is extremely smart.

As soon as it heard someone calling its name, it immediately ran out the door, sat obediently on the steps, and wagged its tail at Yuan Qing.

The skinny and powerful tail kept whipping the middle-aged man's face, and soon several red marks appeared.
