Chapter Seventy-One: A Boring Trial
Chen Xilie's words were very loud, which attracted the attention of the people around him. "Words * love * first * hair e?small say ?w?w?w?w?.?1?x?i?a?o?s?h?u?o?.
In the face of so many eyes, Rao is Luo Xi is cheeky and black-hearted can't help but feel worried, and now he is forced to a desperate place by Chen Xilie, and he has nothing to gain by meditating hard.
"Don't forget, Benxiang is the main exam of this subject, and now these candidates are uncertain about their life and death, it is reasonable for Benxiang to take a look at them!"
"If Lord Luo is unwilling to ascend to the court, then let Ben Xiang see them, so secretive, Ben Xiang has reason to suspect that you, Luo Xixiao, lynched them!"
Luo Xizao was still silent, and this time, the good opinion of the people around him that had just risen was fleeting.
"This ...... Did he really carry out the punishment?"
"I told you he's a cool official, you don't believe it!"
"I really know people and faces, but I don't know my heart!"
……
Luo Xizao was anxious in his heart, and when he heard these whispered rumors, he was even more atmospheric: "If it is really the people, it is impossible to know it, a bunch of fools, only worthy of being swayed by others!"
It's useless to say more, Chen Xilie has forced him into a corner, and the prime minister is also the prime minister, not something that he can compete with!
It is estimated that this situation will not be able to support it today, but fortunately, yesterday's group of soft egg scholars did not have much backbone, and they were not punished, so they said everything when they were scared, but what they said was not what they wanted.
I was going to concoct it again, but now it seems that I can't count on it!
"Since Xiangye has an order, how dare the subordinate disobey?" Luo Xizao looked at Chen Xilie and said coldly: "It's just that Xiangye is present, how can there be any reason for the subordinate official to preside over the trial? ”
Chen Xilie couldn't get into the trap, and said with a faint smile: "This is Jingzhao Mansion, of course such a big case should be tried by Lord Yin of the Mansion!"
Luo Xizao was startled, and when he was silent, Chen Xilie passed him and strode in.
Xiao Jiong was not in the front yard, in order to avoid Chen Xilie, he deliberately ran to the pavilion in the backyard to enjoy the snow, saying that it was a pavilion, but it was actually as warm as spring, surrounded by hot springs, and the dragon in the hollow copper pillar was tumbling.
A pot of wine, a few plates of delicacies, but also comfortable.
"Brother Xiao is very elegant!" Chen Xilie walked up.
Xiao Jiong frowned and put down the wine cup.
"Why? Don't you invite me for a drink?" Chen Xilie said with a smile, pointing to the flask.
Xiao Jiong was silent for a moment, took a new wine cup, and poured a glass for it.
Chen Xilie sat down, took the wine cup, and drank it all.
"Good wine!"
Xiao Jiong was still silent and didn't look at him.
"I know that Brother Xiao is noble, and it is not my wish to attach Li Linfu to the song, but now the saint is wise, Brother Xiao ......"
The corners of Xiao Jiong's mouth twitched slightly, and he said with a smile: "Chen Xiang only has one mouth left now?"
Chen Xilie was speechless, looked directly at him, and suddenly smiled: "It's me who is in the picture!"
"Then let's put it bluntly, the number of Enke admissions this time will be twice as many as in previous years, if it is ......"
"Is this your opinion or the sacred?" Xiao Jiong was slightly startled, and immediately interrupted him: "Have you done the master?"
Chen Xilie smiled: "What the Holy Lord wants is only the result, as long as the purges are purged, those who should be suppressed are suppressed, no matter who takes over, the country will always be his." ”
"As for whether I can call the shots, I will go to Xu Xiang's place, and my kindness will be passed on immediately! Whether it is him or me, there is no way to independently contend with Li Linfu, and in the current situation, Xu Xiang can't eat such a large piece of fat......"
"Oh?" Xiao Jiong picked up the wine cup unhurriedly, and said with a smile: "You must know that it was Xu Fan who ruined your big thing a few days ago!"
"How can there be an eternal enemy in officialdom?" Chen Xilie replied lightly.
Xiao Jiong was silent for a long time, his eyes were fixed, he stared at Chen Xilie and asked, "What did you use to convince Xu Fan?"
Chen Xilie breathed a sigh of relief, but he was not in a hurry, picked up the wine cup, poured himself a glass of wine, looked at the clear wine floating in the glass, and smiled slightly: "Do you think that my position as prime minister has really fallen from the world?"
Tilt your head and drink it all.
Xiao Jiong fell silent, and Chen Xilie did not urge him, allowing the breeze to blow through the mist in this cold early spring.
"I want thirty percent!" Xiao Jiong suddenly spoke.
Chen Xilie smiled and said bluntly: "Can you eat it? Do you dare to eat it? Brother Xiao, I am so sincere, don't try it again!"
"Then how much are you going to pay?" Xiao Jiong took retreat as the way to advance.
"I can only give you one percent at most! You can't let me shout for nothing, right?" Chen Xilie said lightly.
"I want one and a half percent!" Xiao Jiong was extremely tough: "Otherwise, there is no difference between only giving one percent and getting nothing, I can't make this trip to troubled waters!"
Chen Xilie laughed in his heart: "No wonder this kid can only follow Li Linfu for so many years, and he has no brains at all!
"That's it, let this kid go and make trouble with Li Linfu, and you can buy more time!"
Thinking of this, Chen Xilie nodded "reluctantly" and replied: "Okay!"
After talking, Xiao Jiong quickly entered the role, and as soon as he heard Chen Xilieti, he immediately started the trial, and without saying a word, he got up and walked towards the front yard.
He doesn't care about the life or death of these students in front of him, anyway, there is no Xiao family, but if these people can't take the exam, this year's Enke is very likely to be canceled, so Chen Xilie's promise that he finally gave will become a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water.
With motivation, it's natural to get things done very quickly.
When the catchers brought Xu Chen and his students to the hall, Xiao Jiong, who had changed into an official uniform, sat upright with a solemn face.
Xu Chen walked into the hall, followed by a group of students, as if he were doing it. Of course, a table of banquets can't achieve such an effect, but Xu Chen is an official after all, and he is still a five-grade official, a height that even if these students are admitted to the Jinshi and struggle all their lives, they may not be able to reach it.
There is this huge gap, not to mention a good table table, it is a moldy nest, and the effect is the same.
Xiao Jiong had never seen Xu Chen, but compared to the apprehension of the rest of the students, the young man who didn't look big at first had a calm face.
There was some novelty, so naturally I took a few more glances at Xu Chen.
However, it was naturally impossible for Chen Xilie, who was prepared, not to recognize him, and as soon as Xu Chen entered the door, he blurted out: "You are Xu Chen, right?"
Xu Chen looked to the left, and when he saw this person wearing a purple robe, he asked, "Who are you?"
Xiao Jiong didn't know what Chen Xilie meant, but since he had formed an alliance, he naturally wanted to help a little at this moment, after all, as the prime minister of the court, in such a public occasion, how could there be a reason to report his family, it was too cheap!
"This is the prime minister of the current dynasty, and he is the main examiner of the current department ordered by the Holy Lord, and he is worried about your situation, so he has come to observe this case. ”
As soon as these words came out, a group of students behind Xu Chen were suddenly overjoyed, and they stared at Chen Xilie with burning eyes, in their simple cognition, the Prime Minister personally observed, which naturally meant that they were valued, and with the intervention of the prime minister, this street brawl case, which was not much of a big one, would naturally not be resolved.
If you try it, you can still take the test!
Chan Xilie enjoyed the awe-inspiring, expectant gaze that he hadn't enjoyed in a while.
In this piece of adoring gaze, Xu Chen's calmness seemed a little cold.
"Alas......" sighed slightly in his heart, Chen Xilie still smiled when he heard this: "Brother Zhiyuan really accepted a good student!"
Hearing this, Xiao Jiong frowned slightly, and was relieved: "I see!"
Then he was puzzled: "No, Xu Fan's student size is also a five-grade festival envoy, how could it be Chen Xilie's turn to sell this favor?"
"No, how could this person be involved in this case? How dare Luo Xizao arrest him? How could he be arrested?"
Xiao Jiong had never seen Xu Chen, but he had heard about the big things that Xu Xiang's disciples did when they entered the city, and of course the bloody scene at Mingde Gate couldn't hide from the parents and officials of Chang'an City, and even in the competition between the emperor and the crown prince later, he vaguely heard that there was a shadow of Xu Xiang's disciples.
Besides, this person is a military general, and the three hundred guards beside him can crush the elite of the Qi family head-on, Xiao Jiong doesn't believe that he can hold such a character just by relying on the three classes of officials under him.
No, you can't even provoke with the courage.
If it wasn't caught by his own people, then it must be Luo Xizao! But Luo Xizao alone definitely doesn't have such energy, so it can only be ......
Could it be that the right minister is already preparing for an all-out war against Xu Fan, or is it that the gang behind him intends to make things difficult for Xu Fan in this matter?
If this is the case, even if you add Chen Xilie, it will not be useless, then is it too stupid for me to rashly agree to form an alliance with him?
After only a moment, Xiao Jiong felt remorseful, but after all, he had been in and out of the sea for many years, and it was impossible to turn his face immediately.
"Let's see what happens!"
With this in mind, he did not rush to excuse these students, but turned to look at Luo Xizao, who was sitting on the other side, and said, "Lord Luo, you can tell me about the case!"
Luo Xixiao didn't know that Xiao Jiong's mentality changed drastically in such an instant, and he was shocked when he heard that Chen Xilie wanted Xiao Jiong to preside over the trial.
Xiao Jiong, like Wang Jie, has a lot of independence in Li Linfu's camp, especially Xiao Jiong was born in a wealthy family, and he came up from the bottom step by step, and he already has his own team.
And in this matter, the Xiao family, as a family force, naturally has its own demands, and it is normal to have other ideas.
It may not be a betrayal of Li Linfu, but in this matter, Xiao Jiong made a different choice, and Luo Xixiao was not surprised at all.
For this reason, when Chen Xilie walked into Jingzhao Mansion with confidence, and Xiao Jiong really appeared in the lobby again, Luo Xizheng had completely lost confidence in him.
Coupled with Chen Xilie and the group of ordinary people watching outside the open gate, Luo Xixiao was no longer ready to spend his energy on this group of scholars who didn't know much of the insider's story.
Left and right are just concocting a confession, and they can't take such a big risk, and they can't think of other ways.
After making up his mind with such an idea, Luo Xizao didn't have much enthusiasm, and he didn't even fight back, but just recounted the case very officially.
Bland, unremarkable.
