Chapter 173: The Situation

The rules of "Baixiao" are too impersonal. But it is precisely because of this almost ruthless rule that "Baixiao" has its current status in the rivers and lakes.

Ou Shiqiu's words made Xuanyuan Hao understand "Baixiao" more and understand Fengmingtang.

Feng Mingtang, as a force in the rivers and lakes, is involved in many fields, and is a thorn in the side of the imperial court. But fortunately, over the years, Fengmingtang has been keeping to itself, and has a chivalrous reputation in the rivers and lakes, and the Great Qi has been in constant war for more than 100 years since the founding of the country, so it has been sitting idly by and ignoring the dominance of Fengmingtang.

Now that the border war has stopped, Daqi is the stage of recuperation.

In fact, with the current national conditions of Daqi, it is not a good time to deal with Fengmingtang. However, since Fengmingtang changed its new hall master, its style of acting has changed greatly, and the chivalry of the rivers and lakes has disappeared in just three years.

Now not only does the imperial court want to eradicate it, but there are also many gangs in the rivers and lakes who want to crusade against Fengmingtang.

At this time, it was a good time to eradicate Fengming Hall in one fell swoop.

"Since you have come to this king, this king will not hide it from you. The imperial court has indeed had the idea of moving Fengmingtang recently, and the roster in the Fengmingtang organization has also been presented to his father and emperor in two copies. ”

"Already two rosters?" It was precisely because Ou Shi received the news that he wanted Xuanyuan Hao to help. It's just that he still didn't expect that the imperial court would move so quickly this time.

"Yes. But don't worry about it yet. Xuanyuan Hao said in a deep voice, "I haven't eradicated the mind of 'Baixiao' father yet. ”

Xuanyuan Hao said this, and Ou Shiqiu already understood. He arched his hand and said, "Thank you." ”

……

After sending Ou Shiqiu away, Xuanyuan Hao did not return to Zhuxin Courtyard.

In the Qinwu Courtyard, Steward Zhang and Master Ding were waiting for Xuanyuan Hao in the house.

Seeing Xuanyuan Hao coming, the two got up to greet each other, "Lord Wang." ”

"You may be seated. Steward Zhang, how is the spring exam going? Xuanyuan Hao asked.

"Returning to the prince. As the prince expected, in the spring examination room today, there was really someone making trouble..."Manager Zhang said slowly.

During the Lantern Festival, a woman committed suicide by throwing herself into the river. But the woman had a lot to do with the scholar he liked to buy lanterns. Xuanyuan Hao noticed that something was wrong.

He ordered an investigation into the matter.

The results of the survey are indeed very promising. The person who persecuted the woman was not the son of an ordinary family, but the son of Liu Qiu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry. Liu He.

People say that loving mothers have many defeated children, but Liu He lost his mother at a young age, and later although Liu Qiu married a stepwife, his stepwife also gave birth to two sons and a daughter for him. But Liu Qiu is the eldest son who dotes on him the most. Liu He. For more than ten years, Liu He has lived up to his father's doting on him and has become a well-known gentleman in the capital.

Liu He has done it many times to snatch a woman from a good family as a concubine. He is only in his early twenties, and there are more than ten concubines in the family. This peasant girl who makes a living by selling lanterns and kites. is the twelfth woman Liu He fancies.

It's just that this woman is different from the woman Liu He snatched in the past. This woman already has a beloved, who is the scholar Chen Ziduo that day.

“… Speaking of which, it's also that Chen Ziduo's life is not good. Lord Wang, his subordinates investigated and learned that this is not the first time that Chen Ziduo has gone to Beijing to take the exam. He came to the autumn exam three years ago, and that year he was sent out of the examination room by the invigilator because he had diarrhea and did not finish the exam, and his name naturally fell to Sun Shan. His acquaintance with Miss Alain also began three years ago.

It's a pity that Chen Ziduo had to return to his hometown because of something at home. As he left, he promised Miss Alain that he would come and propose marriage to Miss Alain in three years. Now three years have passed, and Chen Ziduo has come by appointment. I didn't expect to meet Liu He, a scoundrel again. Forcibly seized and forced Miss Alan to death!

It's a pity, it's a pity! Chen Ziduo had already given a dowry to the Alan girl, and they originally planned that Chen Ziduo would be married after the spring exam. Now, it is eternally separated! ”

Steward Zhang sighed very much, in addition to feeling sorry for Chen Ziduo, he also thought of his fate more than ten years ago. At that time, he had no hope of scientific research and wanted to commit suicide by throwing himself into the river. Fortunately, the prince and Ding Yi saved him, and he has a happy life with his wife and daughter today.

"Time is also fate." Ding Yi said angrily, "It's because you and other weak scholars are powerless that you will let that bully bully." If it is a martial art of Xi. How can you lose your beloved woman if you beat the bully! ”

Ding Yi was also indignant about the fate of the woman and the scholar, but he was more resentful of the scholar's lack of anger!

"Where is the Lifter now? Master Ding? Xuanyuan Hao asked.

"The Ministry of Industry Shangshu really colluded with the invigilator and accused him of cheating. Threw him out of the exam room. That Liu He also bullied that person outside the examination room. The subordinates brought the man back. It's being locked up in the next room. Ding Yi said angrily.

"Let's go, Master Ding. Take the king to see him. ”

In the next room, Chen Ziduo was lying lifeless on the ground. Da Sheng and the second child were guarding outside the house.

"Subordinates, see the prince." Da Sheng and the second child arched their hands, and greeted Ding Yi and Steward Zhang behind Xuanyuan Hao, "Master, steward." ”

"Open the door." Ding Yidao.

"Yes. Master. ”

When he opened the door, Chen Ziduo didn't even raise his eyelids. Steward Zhang hurriedly walked over, "Lao Ding, why did you tie people's hands and feet!" The prince is asking you to invite someone, not to kidnap someone! ”

Ding Yi snorted disdainfully, "If he is willing to come with me honestly, I will tie him up!" If you are cowardly, you will only seek death at every turn! ”

Chen Ziduo's eyes did not have a trace of desire to survive~ hope. Alain died unjustly, not only could he not help her avenge her, but also caused her to be seriously injured by the rumors and bad words of those people after she died.

What is he still alive for, if he dies early, he can meet Alan in the underworld as soon as possible.

Steward Zhang was busy untying Chen Ziduo, but after loosening the tie, Chen Ziduo still lay motionless on the cold and hard floor. Seeing this, Xuanyuan Hao said coldly, "You just give up revenge?"

A glimmer of light flashed in Chen Ziduo's godless eyes, but it quickly disappeared without a trace. He laughed self-deprecatingly, "What else can be done." There is no hope for scientific research, and I don't even have the opportunity to see the saint today. They protect each other, so how can I avenge Alain? ”

It turned out that Chen Ziduo did not report the case to Jing Zhaoyin, but actually wanted to sue the emperor in front of the emperor. Xuanyuan Hao's eyes flashed slightly, "You have never really worked hard, but you can't get over this small difficulty in front of you." Of course you can't get revenge! I'm afraid you don't have any sincerity for Miss Alain. ”

"You talk nonsense!" Chen Ziduo jumped up from the ground, "My sincerity to Alan can be seen by the sun and the moon!" There is absolutely not a trace of adulteration! But Liu He's father is Liu Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, how can I fight him! ”

"You haven't tried, how do you know it's useless. Since you know that Miss Alan died unjustly, why didn't you report it to Jing Zhaoyin's mansion? ”

"Jing Zhaoyin? Oh, how can they help me as an ordinary person!? (To be continued.) )
