Chapter 149: War of Words
After leaving the prison of the Criminal Department, Nalan Mingzhu knew that it was already dark outside, and he had been in the prison for so long, and he had not seen the sun all day long, if it wasn't for the guards who sent three meals on time every day, he wouldn't even be able to tell the difference between day and night in the prison.
"My lord, the lower official came in a hurry, and he didn't have time to inform the adult's family, why don't you bathe and change your clothes here first, go to get rid of the bad luck on your body, and wait for the lower official to send someone to inform you, and then send a carriage and horse to pick up the adult?" Shangshu of the Criminal Department said respectfully to Nalan Mingzhu, and helped the other party out of the prison of the Criminal Department.
Although this adult has just been released from prison, his hair is scattered, covered with dirt, and he was deprived of his official position by the emperor and became a grass citizen, but no one dares to underestimate this adult, not only because this adult has the evidence of countless court officials, but more importantly, he can get rid of the crime of embezzlement and bribery, and he can retreat from the cusp of rebellion, this adult is still the emperor's cousin.
"No, it's been a long time since I've breathed fresh air outside, and I've forgotten what the night sky looks like. You don't have to bother, I'm just a common person now, I can walk back by myself, just by the way, to enjoy the night sky of the capital. Nalan Mingzhu said lightly, looking indifferent and desireless, looking like he had been hit hard. Those who understand know that this is a master, and those who don't understand still think that this is a flower child.
In fact, Nalan Mingzhu also wanted to take a bath and change clothes, and after staying in the prison for so long, he didn't even take a bath, and his body was dirty and itchy. However, just now God sent a message and did not let him wash it. Let him go out like this, and not only that, but also let him walk home by himself, saying that the more people who see it, the better. In this way, when the matter reaches the ears of the emperor, he will be able to win the emperor's sympathy, and maybe he will be reinstated. When he heard this, he felt that God's words also made sense, so he did so. The prisons are all in. Is there anything more humiliating than that? Now, the last thing he is afraid of is being embarrassed.
What's more, what he admires God now is the five-body throw, which is worthy of God, and he can even come up with such a dangerous trick as 'putting death to death and then living', and he can succeed, and only God dares to do this in this world. Therefore, he is now obedient to God, no matter what God asks him to do, he will not hesitate to do it.
"Adult ......"
The criminal department still wants to keep it. Nalan Mingzhu waved his hand, and then walked outside along the long corridor in front of the prison of the Criminal Department, dragging his heavy body.
He had walked this road many times, and no one was more familiar with it than him, and even with his eyes closed, he could get out. It's just that when he used to walk this road, he was still wearing an official uniform. He was the master here, and now, he was a cloth coat that had just been released from prison. Despite being acquitted, there is a gap in identity. But it's embarrassing. It's only been a long time since he went from a powerful minister with a heavy army to an old man in his twilight years. Fate is impermanent, and creation makes people.
Out of the criminal department, the front of him was cheerful, but it was on the official road in front. At this time, it was full of people, looking at the official uniforms they were wearing, they were either ministers of the dynasty or feudal officials, and their identities were prominent.
"Your Excellency, you have suffered. ”
"Lord Nalan Mingzhu, why did you come out like this? Lord Wang didn't prepare any clothes for you? ”
"My lord, Xiaguan's carriage is nearby, and I will take you home. ”
After seeing Nalan Mingzhu, these people stepped forward and bent down to salute and greet each other, still shouting one by one, and their attitudes were extremely respectful.
Nalan Mingzhu stopped, glanced up, bowed his hand to everyone present, and said lightly, "The old man is a grass people, all the adults are the pillars of the imperial court, how dare the old man bother the adults? With that, he walked through the crowd, ignored anyone, and left straight away.
Seeing this scene, the rest of the officials looked at each other, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do for a while. You must know that they used to be people who followed Nalan Mingzhu, but Lord Mingzhu was the first to look forward, and finally looked forward to Nalan Mingzhu, ready to celebrate, and then showed their strength and fought fiercely with Suo Etu and his gang. But he didn't expect Lord Nalan Mingzhu to look so down, as if he was already disheartened with Yiqiē.
"My lord, what's going on, it's not like you're leaving us alone, is it?" someone asked, puzzled.
"Yes, we read books every day to defend the adults, and it took a lot of effort to rescue the adults, and the adults should be happy. You don't really decide to be a, do you?"
"The emperor has now dismissed the official position of the adult, that is because the emperor is angry, and after a while, the emperor is angry, and he will naturally be reinstated for the adult. ”
Everyone was talking, they were all full of confusion about Lord Ouyang Mingzhu and their own future, and they didn't know what to do next after losing their leader. Left foot first, or right foot first?
Nalan Mingzhu walked not long when suddenly a carriage stopped beside him, so brutal and rough that the horse almost hit him. If it had been before, he would have been whipped and sent to prison with his chariot and horses, including the owner of the carriage, but this time, he followed God's teachings, kept a low profile, and kept a low profile, and the gloom flashed on his face, replaced by calm.
"I said who called Hanako to ask for food on the street so late, it turned out to be Lord Nalan Mingzhu. A voice came from inside the carriage, and then the curtain of the window was lifted, revealing a human face, whose eyes were full of sarcasm and schadenfreude.
Nalan Mingzhu's heart sank, it was really a narrow road, and he didn't expect to meet Suo Etu here.
Yes, sitting in the carriage is none other than the Minister of Parliament, the hereditary first-class duke, the uncle of Empress Xiaochengren, the grandfather of the current crown prince, Suo Etu, and the rival of Nalan Mingzhu's life.
"It turned out to be Lord Soetuso, and the Lord hasn't rested yet? Be careful that it's dark, and the car overturns in the gutter. Although Nalan Mingzhu gritted his teeth angrily, he still looked calm on the surface.
"Haha, my carriage is big and spacious, even if it encounters a gutter, it will rush directly over and will not overturn. But you, Lord Mingzhu, have already turned over in a ditch, and it's still a stinky ditch. Suo Etu scoffed.
"Yes, the old man did fall into the stinky ditch, but when a person walks by the river, how can he not get his shoes wet? I believe that the next one is Master Suo, so Master Suo should be careful. ”
"Yo, it's all called Hanako, or is this tone? Do you still think you're standing in the main hall of Xiangguo?"
"No, it's not Lord Suo, you alone have the final say, but Mingzhu really wants to thank Master Suo, if it weren't for Lord Suo, Mingzhu wouldn't have left the prison so soon. ”
"What?me?" Suo Etu was stunned after hearing Nalan Mingzhu's words, since the other party was impeached, he has not been less booked, and every article listed on the fold is a capital crime, especially when someone impeached Nalan Mingzhu for rebellion, he was the first to stand up and cite relevant evidence. Therefore, if you want to say that the person who hates Nalan Mingzhu the most, it must be him Suo Etu, how can he save the other party? Just kidding, absolutely joking. "Mingzhu, have you been in the prison of the Criminal Department for too long and are you crazy?"
Nalan Mingzhu didn't say a word, just took a mouthful of old phlegm and spit it out the car window. Suo Etu also worked as a guard, and his eyes were quick, so he lowered the curtain directly, and when he opened it again, he saw that the phlegm was right on the curtain. Suo Etu's eyes immediately widened, and if he hadn't reacted quickly, that mouthful of phlegm would have spat on his face.
"Pearl, you ......"
"I'm a madman, Lord Suo won't be like a madman, right?" Nalan Mingzhu said with a laugh, then coughed, and then grabbed his mouth and rushed towards Suo Etu, who was startled and lowered the curtain again. Nalan Mingzhu smiled when she saw it, "Suo Etu, you are also afraid. ”
After Suo Etu heard this, he immediately lifted the curtain and said to Nalan Mingzhu, "Mingzhu, it seems that the prison of the Criminal Department has changed you a lot, you used to be above the main hall, relying on your three-inch incorruptible tongue, and you didn't fight against me, but I didn't expect you to only spit now, it's really heart-wrenching." After speaking, he also coughed and spit at Nalan Mingzhu.
How could Nalan Mingzhu show weakness, and after dodging, he immediately spit out again.
In winter, the temperature is low, you wear a lot, and you quarrel like this, obviously you can't show it, not to mention that you are already in your fifties, and it is not good to wrestle on the street with your hands, and spitting has become the best method of attack. Just imagine, the saliva spit out quickly solidified when it encountered cold air, turning into a lethal hidden weapon, hitting the face and snapping, not only will it produce a certain amount of attack damage to the opponent's **, but also have a certain attack effect on the opponent's spirit, which is definitely the best attack weapon in winter.
Nalan Mingzhu and Suo Etu vomited for a long time, and in the end, both of them were tired, and their voices became hoarse when they spitted out their mouths, and when they coughed again, what they coughed up was not saliva, but blood. I didn't expect to spit on it, it was more tiring than having a war of saliva above the court, you must know that in front of the emperor before, even if you quarreled for an hour or two, you would not feel any tiredness, and the more noisy you are, the more energetic you are.
"Suo Etu, in the past, we had a war of words in front of the main hall and the emperor, but now we are fighting a war of words in the market. ”
"Yes, for so long, you have come and gone, and you have not been able to distinguish a winner or loser. I'm out of saliva today, so let's fight another day. ”
"Okay, I'll wait for you. ”
Suo Etu left in the carriage, and Nalan Mingzhu slowly walked home, as if nothing had happened.
The master has made a move, and this is the case.
The process is thrilling, and the end is calm. (To be continued.) )
