As soon as the three of them entered the main hall, a maid came up to pour tea and give eight snacks.

Shen Zhongkun looked at Xiao Xiao, "I don't have hospitality, you are the third time you have come to my house, I actually invited you to drink a bowl of tea, you can taste the small pastries on my house, it is no worse than Guan Yuanzheng's house." ”

Xiao Xiao listened to Shen Zhongkun's outspokenness, and couldn't help but glance at Liu Ziqian with a little uneasiness, only to see that he was leisurely sipping tea with a teacup, and he understood that this Liu Ziqian was Shen Zhongkun's henchman, and he went to Guan Yuanzheng's mansion with Shen Zhongkun to steal the evidence, I'm afraid Liu Ziqian would have known about it for a long time.

Xiao Xiao took a piece of lotus seed osmanthus soup, took a small bite, and sure enough, it dissolved in the mouth, sweet and refreshing, refreshing but not greasy. "Since that's the case, you should eat openly in the mansion and then go to Guan Yuanzheng's mansion to steal."

Although Liu Ziqian already knew these things, after all, it was the first time he met Xiao Xiao, and she was a daughter, so he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Xiao Xiao speak so unscrupulously, and looked at Xiao Xiao carefully with his head sideways, and it was very appropriate to describe her with words like "Alluring the country and the city", but she was bold and free, especially the delicate sword at her waist, which divided her into two completely different people from other women.

Where did this woman come from, where is she going, who is she, what is she going to do, questions about Xiao Xiao are like invisible hooks, unconsciously hooking everyone who sees her, making people can't help but think about her, even if this kind of longing and pondering has nothing to do with Fengyue.

Shen Zhongkun walked up to Xiao Xiao and looked at her with a gentle face, "You left in such a hurry yesterday, I thought you would come to see me again for a while, but today I came to know that the Imperial Court of the Dao Dynasty executed Guan Yuanzheng's family?" ”

Xiao Xiao put down the pastry in her hand and nodded, "I heard it, and I know that the Tao is what you ask for." I'm still confused, and I don't know if what I said yesterday is right, but I'm still very grateful to you for listening to those words yesterday and pleading with the Holy One. ”

"Your words are very right, I couldn't sleep all night last day and thought about it for a long time, our legislation is used to connecting the nine clans, and we like to behead all over the house, but in fact, everyone is a separate individual, those who do wrong things must be punished, and those who harbor and know should also be punished, but they should not be punished for their crimes, the rewards should be clear, the punishments should also be clear, and the punishments and faults should be unified. This is not a human favor, but a system. ”

Xiao Xiao looked at Shen Zhongkun with appreciation, he is really an emperor's talent, such a far-sighted and far-sighted strategy, in such a feudal era, you can have the legal concept of modern people, everyone is an independent individual, this is the most basic **. If such a person were to be the emperor, there would be no more tragic cases of beheading.

Liu Ziqian got up and said, "This incident is very involved, and there are a total of 132 criminal evidence of buying official positions in that roster, and these people will be punished one after another." Although the prince tried to get rid of corrupt officials for my Great Zhou, he also made a lot of enemies, and he was afraid that there would be people with ulterior motives who would be unfavorable to the prince, so he asked the prince to be careful. ”

Shen Zhongkun smiled coldly, "The hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, how can I not guard against them and wait for the opportunity to take revenge?" Although I begged the emperor not to implicate the innocent, it was also me who exposed all the evidence of Guan Yuanzheng and his comrades, so they only have resentment towards me and will not be grateful. But if they want to get into me, it's not good for me, they don't have that ability. ”

A few people were talking, and a subordinate entered the hall and knelt on one knee, "His Royal Highness Prince Qiqi, King Yonghuai is here." ”

Xiao Xiao thought about it for a long time before remembering that this King Yonghuai was none other than Ruthless, and when she thought of this, infinite sorrow flowed in her heart, yes, Ruthless canonized King Yonghuai, King Yonghuai is ruthless, and Ruthless's real name is Shen Zhongxuan. Since when did he start to become strangers?

Ruthlessly came to the palace, and saw that Xiao Xiao was really in the prince's mansion, his heart was sour as if he had knocked over a vinegar bottle, and he couldn't wait to immediately take Xiao Xiao's hand and lead her out of the prince's mansion.

But the prince smiled, asked to sit down ruthlessly, and ordered someone to watch the tea.

"Why did Xuan come to my house to meet today?" Shen Zhongkun smiled.

"I'm here to find Xiao Xiao." ruthless and does not sell with Shen Zhongkun.

Shen Zhongkun smiled slightly, "Xuan came to find Xiao Xiao, and I found it as soon as I looked for it, do you know that there is someone in Lu Dao who has been waiting for you in my mansion for a night?" ”

After saying that, Ruthless and Xiao Xiao were stunned.

Shen Zhongkun clapped his hands, and after a while, a woman walked out of the apse Yingying, enchanting and charming, her eyes were like peach blossoms and spring, the corners of her mouth were like spring breeze, her waist was slender, and her steps were graceful.

As soon as Xiao Xiao saw Shu Wan'er's face, it became difficult to look at her, and she turned her head sideways and deliberately didn't look at Shu Wan'er and ruthless.

Shu Wan'er walked in front of Ruthless, and after saluting Ruthless, she said softly, "Lord Wang, this is what you left down yesterday, I have been waiting for you here, and I want to return it to you in person." ”

The sachet in Shu Wan'er's hand was being embroidered clumsily by Xiao Xiao in advance, Xiao Xiao looked at the sachet that was not exquisite, and her heart was half cold, ruthless, what do you really have with her, otherwise how could the things you carry with her be there? You really don't pay attention to me, otherwise what I embroidered for you is gone, how could you not notice? If you notice it and don't look for it in the first place, then it's even more dispensable to me.

Ruthless saw the sachet in Shu Wan'er's hand, but he was surprised, quickly took it, and asked, "Why is this sachet in your hand?" ”

Shu Wan'er blushed, lowered her head and didn't dare to look at the ruthless, and said again, "That's it...... It was ...... last night."

These words are even more of Xiao Xiao's thoughts, last night, what did they do last night?

At this time, Shen Zhongkun coughed lightly, "Wan'er, you go down." We still have politics to talk about. ”

Shu Wan'er saluted everyone one by one, retreated to the apse, and reluctantly glanced at her before leaving.

Xiao Xiao couldn't sit still anymore, got up and arched his hand, "Xiao Xiao still has something to do, so I'll leave first." After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back. I only heard the ruthlessness behind him and said, "Ruthless also say goodbye." Then he chased after him.

Xiao Xiao walked all the way forward, ignoring the ruthlessness at all, and after leaving the prince's mansion, he ruthlessly grabbed Xiao Xiao's arm, "Xiao Xiao, what's wrong with you?" ”

Xiao Xiao shook off the ruthlessness with all her might, her tone was full of anger and disgust, "Don't pull and pull with me." ”

"You're angry that my sachet will be in that Shuwan'er's hand, aren't you?"

Seeing that Xiao Xiao was silent, he continued ruthlessly, "I don't know how Lu Dao's sachet is with her, I returned to the palace yesterday and heard that you were invited to the prince's mansion, but I didn't see you, and I came back and you haven't returned to the mansion yet, so I started looking for you everywhere, and I ...... with you at night There was a slight argument. When I got back to the house, I didn't sleep all night, I didn't untie my clothes and I didn't notice that the sachet was missing, I went to your door early, and when I heard the finch say that you were gone, I came out to look for you again, and I didn't have time to bother with anything else, so I didn't know that the sachet was lost until she returned it to me. Don't be angry. ”

Xiao Xiao stopped, looked back at Ruthless, sneered, and asked sarcastically, "You really don't know how Lu Dao was lost?" ”
