The wind and snow stopped overnight, and there was a thick layer of white between the heavens and the earth, and the long street was quiet, and the stubborn armor soldiers added a bit of solemnity to the silence.

The Jingzhao Mansion was crowded with onlookers, whispering, gradually buzzing, and the son of the family, who was usually high, became a prisoner at the bottom of the stairs at this moment, kneeling in a row.

It was another strange trial, only to hear Lord Fu Yin talk endlessly, but none of the children of the family in the hall made a sound, just stared at Xiao Jiong with his head raised and his eyes were cold.

The vendor standing on the side did not have the slightest sense of existence as the bitter master, and the couple snuggled together, their eyes dodging, and their bodies trembled.

"Take a look at your confessions, and if it's okay, sign and draw it!" Xiao Jiong waved his hand, and a row of officials walked over with the confession that came out of nowhere.

The children of the family took a look at the humiliating thing, looked up at Xiao Jiong again, and most of them just sneered, and then picked up the red pen and signed it.

Now that you have been humiliated once, there is no need to do it again.

Xiao Jiong took back one confession after another, read it carefully, and then nodded with satisfaction: "Bring the prisoner back, and the sentence will be announced in three days!"

The officials escorted everyone away, but after all, some people couldn't help it, turned around and sneered at Xiao Jiong: "I want to congratulate Lord Xiao on his promotion and fortune!"

Xiao Jiong smiled faintly and said: "The thunder, rain and dew are all gentlemen, and now they are saints, and the ministers are only honest and do everything!"

"Humph!"

The prisoner was taken away, and it was naturally not the prison of Jingzhao Mansion that he returned.

Looking at the prisoner cars surrounded by Yu Linwei on the long street and their own children with their eyes closed in the cars, the tall buildings on both sides of the long street were filled with extremely angry eyes at this moment.

"Father, just take the eldest brother back!"

"Nonsense!"

"Father, what are you still hesitating about? Emperor Lao'er, he's crazy!"

"Shut up!"

……

"Dad, do you want the third brother to be so humiliated?"

"Otherwise, what do you want?"

"This ...... It's not as good as ......."

"What do you think! Now that the world is peaceful and prosperous, who will come with you?"

"But this time the emperor crossed the line......!

"Where's it? Can you see that there's a Jiangmen inside, and there's a Seven Sect and Five Surnames?"

……

"That's not right! Didn't you say that the Cui family and the Wang family didn't run away either? Why didn't you see anyone?"

"Hehe! I thought he was so tough, but I didn't expect him to be a bully and afraid of hardness!"

……

"In this way, the saint's move is just to beat?" Li Linfu stepped on the snow in the courtyard of the right prime minister's mansion, looking at the pine full of snow, his eyes were full of doubts.

Qian Yi followed behind and shook his head: "The saint knows how to advance and retreat at the age of seven, how can he do this childish method with such fanfare?"

"That's a backhand!"

"There must be! I just don't know where it will be......"

Li Linfu suddenly laughed: "Speaking of which, over the years, whenever I thought I knew the Holy Lord very well, he would always give me many surprises!"

The courtyard was silent, and a gust of wind rolled up a few snows.

Chen Xilie was not in the house, and went out early in the morning.

The students who were beaten last night are now gathering in a courtyard next to the flower house to recuperate.

As soon as you enter, the yard is filled with the smell of medicinal herbs.

Chen Xilie's face did not change, and he walked in quickly.

Chen ...... Old...... Xiangye!" In the corridor, a student who was breathing outside the house saw Chen Xilie, standing up tremblingly on crutches.

"Don't move!" Chen Xilie frowned, and said slightly angrily: "Hurt your muscles and bones for a hundred days, when will you be able to get better if you toss so much?"

"Phase...... Xiangye, student...... I ......"

"Needless to say, take care of your injuries!"

The students who heard the movement pushed the door one after another.

"Chen Xiang?"

"Lord Zuoxiang!"

"You...... Why are you here?"

Seeing that everyone had come out, Chen Xilie's brows furrowed even deeper: "Look at the good things you have done!"

The sudden indifference cooled the fiery hearts of the students.

"A dignified tribute, a pillar of the country!" Chen Xilie raised his eyebrows and reprimanded: "You actually learned from the market and the streets were rude, where did the teachings of the saints go?"

The students lowered their heads one after another, and their hearts were sad.

Originally, even if it was a "guilty body", now that there is such a thing, the only trace of hope left in my heart for this year's imperial examination is gone, and how to overcome the current difficulties is an urgent matter, after all, those people are all wealthy families......

The students who were confined to this courtyard to recuperate from their injuries did not know what was happening outside, and at the moment they were only immersed in hesitation and fear of the future.

"What are you still standing outside?" Seeing this, Chen Xilie's eyes sank slightly, and he scolded: "Isn't the injury serious enough?"

"Get back to the house!"

"Big ...... Your Excellency, Your ...... Don't be angry!"

"We, this ...... Let's go back to the house!"

There were a lot of students, and most of them were injured, and naturally one room could not be lived, and at this moment, Chen Xilie scolded a few words, and the students who had just rushed out had no choice but to go back to the house.

Chen Xilie frowned again, thought about it, and had to push the doors into the room one room after another, and began to comfort the wounded.

On the opposite side of the courtyard, in the east wing, Hua Jiu Guo Jiade looked at the window and smiled: "I knew that I should find a big room to accommodate these people, and it would save our Zuo Xiangda from embarrassment." ”

"What's there to embarrass him?" The eighth child of the Hua family was sitting at the low table and feasting, when he heard this, he raised his head and said in an urn voice: "It's too late to laugh at such a big bargain for nothing!"

"Starling, you don't understand this!" Hua Jiu turned around with a smile: "Our Lord Zuo Xiang finally came across such an opportunity, I don't know how many drafts I played along the way before I came here, and I asked for warmth and warmth, and I wanted to promote and suppress first, I played so many tricks, and I was about to enter the house to uncover the mystery, this is good, the house is not big enough, it can't fit so many people, we can't let our Lord Zuo Xiang just talk about it room by room, right?"

Thinking that after Chen Xilie finished his condolences in this room, he announced in front of several students that they would not only not be held accountable but could continue to participate in the scientific examination, and then this room first boiled, Chen Xilie went to the next room with a look of care and condolences first, and then announced the news with a smile, and then walked to the next room amid the cheers of everyone......

The eighth child of the Hua family couldn't help but shudder, and pointed at Hua Laojiu: "You kid did it on purpose, right?"

"Don't talk nonsense, okay?" Hua Laojiu said with an innocent face: "How can I be so powerful, and I can still count every move of Lord Zuo Xiang?"

"Besides......" Hua Laojiu smiled very happily: "Am I so bored?"

"When it comes to power and scheming, Chen Xilie, an old pedant, is still much worse!" Opposite the eighth elder of the Hua family, the middle-aged scribe Fu Su said.

"Second brother, don't be so serious, right?"

“……”

For the people of the flower house, this situation is rare and relaxed now, and the things that should be done are done, and they sit and watch the clouds roll up, which is quite a bit of a sense of detachment from jumping out of the Three Realms and not in the Five Elements.

And for the rest, the rest can only be unstoppable speculation.

Last night, I pushed the glass and changed the lamp, although it was a literary meeting, but I didn't drink less wine, and it wasn't until the afternoon that Xu Fan woke up from a headache.

After drinking the decanting soup prepared by Uncle Xu, Xu Fan regained some clarity.

"Master, Mr. Shi has been waiting outside for a long time!"

"What's going on again?" asked Xu Fan as he changed his clothes.

"Last night, the Holy Lord sent people to arrest more than a dozen children of the family, saying that they were arson with slaves, and this morning Jingzhao Mansion opened a court to try the case, and the confession has been drawn!"

There is no accident, Xu Fan's brows are tightly locked, and when the change is completed, the doubts between his eyebrows still cannot be dissipated.

Out of the inner room, Shi Nanting had been waiting outside for a long time.

"Xiangye!" Shi Nanting bowed.

Xu Fan nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "Continue to do what you need to do, you can find time to contact those few young people who were not bad last night!"

"Does Chen Xiang need a response there?" Shi Nanting asked.

Xu Fan thought for a while, nodded and said, "Go ahead!"

"But ......," Shi Nanting said hesitantly, "In this situation, the Holy Lord obviously has a backhand...... It's better to look at your subordinates than not...... Or at least secretly send someone over there......"

"The Holy One is watching, or many things are wrong, but who can guarantee that doing nothing will be right?"

"Yes...... Xiangye's safety ......"

Xu Fan shook his head slightly: "The Holy Lord still has high hopes for me now, and it is natural that I can't do anything, if I lose my sacred heart, it will be a really big problem!"

"Okay!"

After Shi Nanting left, Xu Fan leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes, the pain caused by the hangover in his mind still did not dissipate.

"What about the stinky boys?" asked Xu Fan with his eyes closed.

"Stay at home!" Xu Bo put down the tea in his hand and went around to the back to massage Xu Fan's head.

"It's rare! It's rare for them to be so peaceful!"

"What!" Xu Bo smiled: "They are all trapped by love!"

"Oh?" Xu Fan was a little interested and asked, "Which girl?"

For a few disciples, Xu Fan really regards them as his own, they are all fatherless and motherless children, how can he, who is a teacher, not worry about lifelong events?

"You know the eldest one, the second one has been hidden for a long time, and I didn't know who it was until last night!"

"Last night?"

"That's good!" Uncle Xu nodded and replied, "It's the daughter of the doctor last night." ”

"Wouldn't it?" Xu Fan was slightly stunned: "Love at first sight?"

"How is it possible!" Xu Bo smiled: "I guess I already fell in love with someone when I was in Yuzhang!"

"Liang Jianzhong, this person ......," Xu Fan wanted to speak and stopped.

Uncle Xu carefully glanced at Xu Fan's face, and said thoughtfully: "It's all a matter for young people, why don't you let their young people solve it themselves?"

Xu Fan was silent.

"If it......" Uncle Xu smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid these boys won't be obedient!"

"Call them over!" Xu Fan said lightly.
