On the street, behind a majestic guard of honor, followed by laughing children, candy and copper coins were thrown up, raindrops fell on the road, and excited children rushed over like arrows, leaning over and rejoicing......

"This ...... This is the idea you came up with?" A carriage followed far behind, and Lu Hao, who was in the carriage, lowered the curtain and looked at Wang Ce with a look of surprise.

"What are you kidding!" Wang Ce said categorically: "I just asked someone to contact a guest of Chen Xilie's house, I will come up with this kind of sassy idea, just kidding!"

"Really?" Lu Hao looked at him suspiciously: "It's really not you who used money to open the way in such a simple and crude style?"

"Is this the point?" Wang Ce said sharply: "The focus today is to fish out the eldest brother, okay? really, what do you want!"

"Why are you so excited......

"It's Jingzhao Mansion in front!"

The prime minister's guard of honor stopped in front of the Jingzhao Mansion, Chen Xilie was wearing court clothes, his face was solemn, and his afterglow swept the surroundings, and the people looked sideways.

Suppressing the gloom in his heart, the awe-inspiring gazes of the people gave him some confidence again, and after cleaning up his feelings, his eyes became sharp again.

"Knock!"

In the palace, Yin Xiaojiong of Jingzhao Mansion had naturally already received the news of Chen Xilie's arrival.

In the living room, Xiao Jiong was drinking tea leisurely.

Luo Xizao, who was walking briskly outside the door, frowned slightly, and slowed down his steps.

"Your Excellency!"

Xiao Jiong glanced up at him, nodded slightly, and continued to drink tea.

Luo Xizao was impatient, but secretly sneered in his heart: "Tell you to pretend!

Xiao Jiong and Luo Xixiao are both Li Linfu's people, Jingzhao Mansion is in charge of the security of the capital, and in the case that the army cannot move lightly, whether it is in force or administrative execution, Jingzhao Mansion has an irreplaceable role.

The position of Jingzhao Mansion Yin has always been difficult to do, even if he is a capable minister, he will not be able to do it for a long time without roots and bottomlessness, but Xiao Jiong has been able to sit firmly in Jingzhao Yin for so many years, in addition to Li Linfu's support and his own ability, the Xiao family is also a famous family.

In terms of qualifications, Xiao Jiong is not much worse than Chen Xilie, in terms of heritage, Chen Xilie is even more out of reach, and in this matter, the Xiao family did not participate, and now in this situation, there is a code in his hand but there is no need to rush to bet, Xiao Jiong's life is naturally moisturized.

As for Luo Xizao, he felt that with Li Linfu's support, he didn't have to care about this "left minister" who was almost abolished, but Luo Xizao was suddenly promoted after all, and suddenly had to face the prime minister of the current dynasty, although it was just an embroidered pillow, it was also the prime minister, and more than a year ago, it was a day that he couldn't think of.

It's like a rich man in the countryside who suddenly walked into the banquet of a famous family, and it is inevitable that he will be cramped and apprehensive.

It's just that Luo Xizao can break out of the name of "cool official", and he has a fierce spirit in his heart.

"What about the Prime Minister? It's not like I haven't seen it!"

Thinking about it like this, I can hold my breath.

Soon, the porter trotted all the way in.

"My lord, Chen Xiang is here!"

"Oh. Xiao Jiong put down the teacup and said lightly: "Then I should go to greet it!"

Seeing Xiao Jiong get up, Luo Xixiao couldn't sit anymore, so he also got up and followed behind and walked towards the gate of the front yard.

"Chen Xiang, Happy New Year!" inside the gate, Xiao Jiong hugged his fists from afar, and said.

"Lord Xiao is good!" Chen Xilie replied coldly, since he had decided to be tough, he naturally wouldn't say more to them at this moment.

In Chen Xilie's eyes, there is not much difference between the two people in front of him, they are just Li Linfu's lackeys. It's just that as the prime minister, he has to fight shirtless with the two dogs of the second minister, and when he thinks about it, he feels sad in his heart, but he is more and more determined to do a good job in this scene, otherwise his disadvantages will never be recoverable.

"On the first day of the new year, Chen Xiang didn't go to visit friends, how could he have time to come to the yamen of Xiaguan?" Xiao Jiong smiled.

Chen Xilie looked at him and said lightly: "Isn't Lord Xiao also on duty at the Yamen!"

"Hehe, Xiaguan also wants to be idle, but the holy order is difficult to disobey, there is such a big case, how can Xiaguan, Jing Zhaoyin, still have the heart to celebrate the New Year?" Xiao Jiong smiled helplessly.

Chen Xilie's eyes sank slightly, and he said coldly: "Your Lord Xiao has lost the interest of the New Year, will those students who are thousands of miles away from home and travel far away have the interest of the New Year?"

Xiao Jiong was slightly flustered, and said continuously: "Why did Chen Xiang say this?"

"Hmph!" Chen Xilie snorted coldly and reprimanded: "Those poor students are all tributes recommended by various states and counties, and the dynasty treats scholars with courtesy, so there is a grand event of the imperial examination that has not been seen in a thousand years, and they are all saints and disciples, but now they have fallen into the hands of cool officials and barbarians, and they have been humiliated.

"This ......"

Of course, this is not easy to reply, Xiao Jiong is also a scholar, if Chen Xilie's heart-wrenching words are not received well, and they are transmitted to Shilin, it will be detrimental to his reputation!

After all, Xiao Jiong is different from Luo Xizao, although he is also a member of Li Linfu's camp, he is a member of Li Linfu's side, and he is a child of a big family with a deep background, and he is only a political team with a lot of independence, and the two sides are more like a cooperative relationship.

If this is for Li Linfu's business, it will damage his own foundation, of course, the gains outweigh the losses, not to mention such a trivial matter at the moment, in fact, it is nothing, at least so far there has not been a price that can make Xiao Jiong forget his death.

It's just that Luo Xixiao is different, he is just a rattan attached to Li Linfu's big tree, or not a thick one, no matter what considerations, Luo Xixiao has to go down with Li Linfu firmly.

Naturally, now is the time to stand up and fight back!

"Li Xiang's words are not right!" Luo Xizao, who was originally standing behind Xiao Jiong, jumped out, held his head high, looked directly at Chen Xilie, and said solemnly: "These scholars who make trouble are not innocent people! The Holy Lord ordered the officials to find out the masterminds of yesterday's brawl, and these scholars were all involved in yesterday's brawl and were the suspects who were brought back to the palace!"

"Hehe, that's a coincidence!" Chen Xilie smiled and said coldly: "You have a holy life, and you also have a holy life!"

As he spoke, he pulled out a roll of bright yellow brocade from his sleeve, but it was the holy decree he had just received in the morning.

"Two, take the order!"

"Huh?" Luo Xizao looked stunned, but in his heart he wondered if there was some new will from above.

Xiao Jiong frowned deeply, but he had already scolded in his heart: "Damn! This is holding a yellow cloth as a tiger skin! Chen Xilie, you old fox is too much of a thing! I shouldn't have come out to greet him if I knew it!"

Looking around, there is a group of Chang'an people in the distance, there are men, women and children, there are many children, and there are naturally many parents of the children.

Xiao Jiong is not as stupid as Luo Xizao, he dares to pack the ticket, the holy decree in Chen Xilie's hand is definitely not passed on to them, this trick is just to make the emperor's power suppress them in the public, and they don't need to think about it to know that Chen Xilie must have a follow-up move.

"This ......" hesitated for a moment, Xiao Jiong spoke: "Since it is a holy decree, it should be burned incense and set up a case, and it should be cautious after bathing and changing clothes, Chen Xiang will wait a little, and the lower official will ......."

In any case, let's disrupt the other party's arrangement first!

"No need! The situation is in power, and it is expected that the Holy One will not be to blame!" Saying that, Chen Xilie unfolded the holy decree in public, and said loudly: "Holy Message: The left servant of the Shangshu shoots, and Chen Xilie, the bachelor of the Hongwen Pavilion, leads the Tianbao for the seventh year of the Enke examination......

I have to say that Chen Xilie's recitation level is still quite good, the words are correct and round, and his voice is loud enough.

After all, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, some people have experienced similar scenes, not to mention this kind of opportunity to be fortunate enough to watch an official receive an order, that is, every day when the emperor worships heaven at the Temple of Heaven, there will also be a will.

Therefore, as soon as they saw Chen Xilie's formation, many people who reacted quickly had already knelt down, and gradually they all understood.

There was no impatience, but there was some snickering, even the little head of the naughty boy next to him was pressed down by his parents, kneeling on the ground, respectful.

Seeing the people around him like this, Xiao Jiong couldn't help but kneel down helplessly.

In the Tang Dynasty, when the emperor received ministers, he didn't need to bow down, and even at the court meeting, the monarchs and ministers were relatively easy-going, but now that he was outside, and in front of so many people, he didn't want to be overwhelmed by the bullet seal of the imperial history platform, so Xiao Jiong could only kneel honestly.

Even if it's just a fox kneeling......

Sure enough, as Xiao Jiong expected, the holy decree was not given to them, Luo Xixiao had just reacted, and then he was annoyed and angry, but after Xiao Jiong stood up, he glared at Chen Xilie fiercely, and snorted coldly: "Chen Xiang has something to do at will, and the lower officials will not accompany him!"

After saying that, he turned around and left, anyway, he was not in a hurry!

Chen Xilie didn't care, but sighed in his heart: "If Xiao Jiong is gone, it will be much easier to deal with this redneck left!"

"You, take Benxiang to see the tributes, if Benxiang finds out that you have killed them, Benxiang will skin you!"

Chen Xilie looked at Luo Xizao, his tone was cold, and his attitude was arrogant, as if he was instructing the servants in the family.

Luo Xizao's face suddenly turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "No! No one can see the suspect until the case is cleared!"

"You little Facao, do you dare to commit a crime?" said Chen Xilie angrily.

"Although the lower official is a Fa Cao, he can't get into the eyes of the prime minister, but the holy order of the lower official is to handle the Qin case, if the prime minister wants to interfere, then step on the corpse of the lower official!"

As he spoke, Luo Xizao opened his arms and blocked in front of the gate of the mansion.

Around, the people who had already gotten up were shocked when they saw this scene!

"This lord is so bold, even the prime minister dares to stop ......."

"What a good official who is not afraid of power!"

"What do you know? He is Luo Xixi, the cool official mentioned in the 'Jigang Luo Net'! I don't know how many good people's blood is stained on his hands!"

"How do you know if these are true or false? Hearsay is better than seeing is believing!"

……

There was a lot of discussion, and when it was spread to the carriage in the rear, Lu Hao couldn't help frowning: "Is this Chen Xilie capable of this?"

"Damn, did we choose the wrong person?"
