Chapter Seventy-One: Xuan Xuan Lou
The murder of the envoys of the Ziyu Kingdom was eventually stalled due to the lack of evidence.
After leaving the court, many officials surrounded Shi Zheng sympathetically.
"Master Shi, it's really hard for you, the obvious evidence is in front of you, Your Majesty is actually ...... Huh. ”
"That's right, Lord Shi, even if the adults have something to order, we are all on the side of the adults......"
"yes, yes......"
……
Surrounded by gossip, or some people who are usually unwilling to pay attention, Shi Zheng reluctantly controlled his mind and said with a smile: "Then thank you very much." ”
If it weren't for the fact that His Majesty expressed great dissatisfaction with his behavior of wanting to forcibly tie up the county lord of Qingyang to go to Dali Temple this morning, he would not be willing to pay attention to these people who are usually only worthy of looking at him.
Most of these officials are petty officials who are big sesame, and when it comes to the incident, they are the ones who run the fastest. After Shi Zheng patiently staggered away from them, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a sneer.
*********
Xuan Xuan Building
“…… Suddenly, the county lord gave an order, and the black-clothed knight raised the rope and strangled the man's neck, and the man struggled desperately, and the county lord saw that it was not good, and immediately stabbed the knife into his hips, so he had those scars on his body......"
Speaking of the highlights, the storyteller's face was sad, and his words were full of sighs for the dead man.
One of the spectators was dissatisfied with his sudden stop, straightened up and exclaimed, "Then tell me what kind of grudge the county lord has against that man!" ”
"Yes, yes!" Quite a few agreed.
Seeing that he had hung his appetite, the storyteller stroked his beard, and his face was full of unfathomability, "I will naturally tell you this, but you have to pay for the tea and wine first......
As soon as the words fell, a little boy walked in front of the visitors with a small basin, and the visitors were not stingy, they took out copper plates from their pockets, and more generously put the silver directly.
"You'd say it quickly......"
There was a commotion at the banquet, and the storyteller was urging him to continue. The storyteller patted Xingmu with satisfaction, "The point is here, why did the princess murder that person, this is a long story......
He also wanted to sell a pass, but a lot of guards suddenly rushed in outside the door, each wearing a knife at his waist and wearing brocade clothes, looking like Rong Jinwei.
Seeing this battle, the steward of Xuanxuan Building hurriedly came out to play a round, "I don't know what important things you adults have, we have a lot of locations in Xuanxuanlou, please drink tea haha." ”
He kept accompanying the smiling face, and flatteringly led the leader of the guards to go inside, but his hand was thrown away.
"Rong Jinwei is doing business." Liu Xian took out Rong Jinwei's token from his arms, "Evacuate unrelated people, otherwise they will obstruct official affairs and be arrested in the name of complicity!"
Liu Xian himself is five big and three thick, under the glance of this majestic face, most of the spectators were frightened and ran to the door, and many of them who wanted to see the excitement were still looking at the door, wanting to see what was going on.
The storyteller hunched his back, not even packing his things, and wanted to squeeze out of the crowd, but was grabbed by a sharp-eyed guard.
Touching Liu Xian's knife-like gaze, Mr. Storyteller was frightened, but he just hooked his head and didn't speak.
The steward didn't know what to do, so he tried his best to persuade on the side, "My lord, I don't know what mistake we have made in Xuanxuanlou, you can scare our guests away in this battle......
Liu Xian pursed his lips, saw a few manuscripts on the desk, and stepped forward to read them carefully.
The storyteller's eyes were confused, and the beads of sweat on his forehead were getting bigger and bigger, and he wanted to escape, but the eyes of the guard who had captured him were firmly on him. And Liu Xian, who was only one meter away from him, glanced at him in disbelief after reading the manuscript.
This sight became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the storyteller had no more strength, and sat on the ground, crying bitterly, "Not my idea...... It's really not my ......."
He said intermittently, but Liu Xian walked up to him and lifted him into the air with one hand, a little manic: "It's not you, who is it, say!" ”
He hadn't had such a gaffe in years.
In fact, he has been controlling his temper all these years, but today he can't bear it. It was hard for him to imagine what the county lord would be discredited if he was one step too late. Will the prince let them go again?
Luckily, none of this happened. While breathing a sigh of relief, Liu Xian clenched the manuscript with one hand, but threw the storyteller down with the other.
He threw it in a peculiar way, and it didn't hurt his head, so the storyteller only suffered a little flesh and skin.
The storyteller thought that his life was in danger today, so he rolled on the ground twice without caring about the pain, and immediately crawled to Liu Xian, grabbing the corner of his clothes, "My lord, I said, I said everything!" Please spare your life! The small ones are not intentional, they are all forced by someone to be small so that the kid will do this! ”
When the onlookers saw the reversal of the plot, they were temporarily frightened, and they all watched intently what was happening in the building.
The steward was also shocked and didn't know what Mr. Storyteller had done, he had been busy in the backyard before, so he didn't know what Shicai had done, but seeing that even Rong Jinwei had come forward, he didn't dare to plead again.
"Two days ago, the little one was still at home and took it seriously......
"Getting to the point!"
"Yes, yes!" The storyteller was afraid of the bright big knives in front of him, and almost flashed his tongue, "Suddenly someone broke through the window, gave those manuscripts to the small one, and asked the little one to talk about this paragraph in the Xuan Xuan Building today...... The little one is completely forced......"
Liu Xian frowned, "Who is it?" ”
"The man was masked, and the little one couldn't see his face...... Listening to the sound is like a middle-aged person, the little one really only knows these ......"
The storyteller had a handful of snot and tears, and what he said above was both true and false, but there was one thing he told the truth, he really didn't know the man's body. But the most important thing that day was that the man gave him a hundred taels of silver, so he knew what the consequences would be after this story came out, but he still responded in a daze.
Liu Xian has been in office for so many years, and it can be seen that the storyteller is just a small chess piece in this matter.
He hid all the manuscripts in his bosom and walked to the door, and just when they thought the matter was over, he suddenly said to his men:
"Seal the Xuan Xuan Building, and wait for the fall."
"Yes!" Rong Jinwei received the order, the windows and small doors were quickly sealed, and the junior in the small courtyard was also kicked out, all looking at each other, not knowing what happened.
The steward can't sit still anymore, if this Xuanxuan Building is gone, his good days as a steward will come to an end. Not to mention...... He thought about it for a while, and strode up to Liu Xian, "My lord, this is opened by General Humen's brother-in-law's house, even if you don't look at the monk's face, you have to look at the Buddha's face." ”
