Chapter 157: Sophistry

Nangong Yi stopped talking, but there was a faint uneasiness in his eyes.

Such an expression, in the eyes of King Qin, made it even more obvious that he was a thief, so he began to interrogate the housekeeper kneeling under the hall more and more carefully.

"Say, what the hell is going on?!"

The butler craned his neck, hesitating, and didn't seem to intend to speak.

King Qin was furious for a moment, slapped the table fiercely, and said, "Someone! Hold this slave down, and beat him with seventy boards until he speaks! ――”

Seventy boards, and there are still unabated, won't they be beaten to death?

The housekeeper was completely panicked at this time, and began to knock on the ground desperately, "The prince spares his life, the villain said...... The villains all said......"

Nangong Yi, who was sitting at the bottom, looked at King Qin, who was determined to win, and straightened the corners of his mouth slightly.

Here, the housekeeper began to tremble and opened his mouth, "The villain is responsible for taking care of this Zhuangzi, because the location of this Zhuangzi is relatively partial, and there is no one from the Lin family on weekdays, so the villain sometimes takes on some private work, and asks the merchants to settle in the outer courtyard and collect some accommodation fees......"

Speaking of this, the housekeeper paused, subconsciously glanced at Li Dong, who was also kneeling beside him, and then continued, "But those who are passing by in business only live in the outer courtyard, and as for the inner courtyard, outsiders are never allowed to enter. But Li Dong and Uncle Li are different. The villain didn't know Uncle Li Dong, one day, he suddenly found the villain, said that he wanted to stay here for a few nights, and asked if he could be accommodating, so they could live in the inner courtyard, because the price was really high, so ......"

"You don't give me more nonsense? When have I ever looked for you? ――!! ”

Li Dong next to him had red eyes, and he was about to pounce on him and fight hard, but he was pulled away by the people brought by Nangong Yi.

"Uncle Li Dong, how can you say such a thing? You came to me and told me to come out of a side room in the inner courtyard, and I would not have been, but you gave me two gold bars......," said the butler, turning to turn it over. Sure enough, he took out two gold bars with the words Qin Wangfu engraved on the bottom from the bag!

Everyone was stunned!

King Qin also looked incredulous.

The situation took a turn for the worse, and even he, who had been through a hundred battles, couldn't react for a while.

Then. Nangong Yicai, who had been silent, said lightly, "Present the gold bar." ”

Immediately, someone handed him the gold bar in the butler's hand, and after looking at it twice, he presented the gold bar to King Qin, who was in shock, and said. "Lord, take a look, is this from the palace?"

Daye has implemented a unified coinage system, but the most circulated in the market is still silver tickets and copper coins, gold is not a general equivalent, so at the same time in circulation, the emperor also allowed princes and nobles to engrave words on gold as a symbol of status.

What King Qin never expected was that it was the original status symbol. Now it has become a driving force for ruining the reputation of the palace.

Looking coldly at the gold bar engraved with the words of King Qin's Mansion in front of him, King Qin's face changed suddenly, he raised his eyebrows, and shouted to the person kneeling in the hall, "Bold slave!" Say, who's behind you?! ”

"The prince spares his life, the slave is wronged, ......", the housekeeper kowtowed again, and the blood stayed down his forehead, and he didn't care about wiping it. Lord Wang, everything the slave said is true, and there is no lie. When Uncle Li negotiated a side room with the minions, he didn't say who would live here......"

Speaking of which. His gaze fell on Nangong Yi, who was sitting nearby, and instantly kowtowed to him frantically as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, "General Nangong, it's a slave who deserves to die, and he brought outsiders into Zhuangzi without permission." But the minions really don't have half a lie......"

"Lord Wang, do you see this?"

Nangong Yi was a little hesitant and looked at King Qin.

King Qin raised his eyebrows, "Someone!" Escort this daring minion down and give me a heavy blow! ――”

"Wait!"

At this moment, Lin Qiong appeared at the door. In addition to a group of scholars, there were several storytellers who came with him, but these people only stood at the door, quietly watching, and did not make any unusual moves.

Seeing this, Nangong Yi restrained his eyes, sat quietly and stopped talking. Well, this time, he can really sit and watch the play with peace of mind.

"The prince is here today, why didn't he report in advance, and he would clean up Zhuangzi in the next place......"

Lin Qiong said as she walked to the middle of the lobby.

His spirit seems to be good, but he can't look closely. Otherwise, he would find that he still had a deep look of exhaustion and sleepiness in his eyes.

"Master Lin, you're just in time!" , King Qin had a calm face, "Your slave has made such a big mistake, you come to tell this king, how to solve today's matter?!" ”

didn't mention the reluctance of Princess Qin, and put all the responsibility on the Lin family.

Lin Qiong sneered in her heart, but she made a look of surprise on her face, "The princess lives in the inner mansion of the palace, how could she come to our family's Zhuangzi?" This must be investigated! ”

Then, he fell on the butler who was kneeling on the ground, and said coldly, "Uncle Ban, what the hell is going on?" How do you take care of Zhuangzi?! ”

Uncle Ban instantly understood, and repeated the matter of Li Dong's contact with him.

However, before he could finish his words, King Qin blew up.

"This bold minion is clearly talking nonsense, do you Lin family want to cover up?! Or is this matter planned by the Lin family at all?! ”

Quickly exchanged glances with Nangong Yi, Lin Qiong's face sank instantly, and he said lightly, "Lord Wang, your status is not bad, such a thing happened in the inner house, and it is understandable to be angry." But our housekeeper has already made the ins and outs of this matter very clear just now, and in such a situation, you still have to splash this dirty water on our Lin family...... Isn't this a bit inappropriate? ”

"Wrong?! How could the princess be so dignified in your house, what is this not framed? What's wrong?! ”

A spark burst out of King Qin's eyes, and if he could, he might kill Lin Qiong directly.

Hearing this, Lin Qiong suddenly laughed, "The prince concluded that he was framed just because the princess appeared in my house, is it too arbitrary?" At this point, he looked around, with a playful meaning in his eyes. His expression became a little unspeakable, "After all, the matter between the princess and the housekeeper was discovered by the county lord of Qingyun himself. If it weren't for the county lord of Qingyun. We didn't know that the princess had come and stayed in this village...... If this is the case, where did the theory of being framed come from? ”

King Qin's face was pale, and he was speechless with anger.

But Lin Qiong continued as if he didn't notice his anger. "Our steward has made it clear what happened to this matter. For his behavior of inviting people in for accommodation without permission, we will naturally punish him severely. But this is not the same thing as the princess being framed, but they are two different things that have nothing to do with each other! ”

"It's bloody! I don't know this housekeeper at all, how can I contact him to come to stay?! ”

Li Dong is also not a fuel-efficient lamp.

He knew that if he couldn't turn over this time, he would never be able to turn over again.

Lin Qiong sneered, "Of course you don't know each other!" So far, even if he is a fool, in order to save his life. I won't admit it! ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room became more and more strange.

Judging from the current shape, whether it is the truth or the evidence, it is the Lin family that has the upper hand. In fact, there is nothing strange about this, after all, it is a fact that Princess Qin and the housekeeper cheated on each other, and they were discovered by their own daughter Qingyun County Lord, no matter how you say it, it can't be pressed on the head of the Lin family, right?

Just like Lin Qiong said, if the county lord of Qingyun did not appear. If such a scene is broken, they may not know it at all, and this ugly thing will not be exposed!

And the county lord of Qingyun, for no reason, went to someone else's Zhuangzi in the sky. What is it that doesn't come prepared? And in the inner house of the high-ranking family, there is always an inexplicable relationship, perhaps, this matter is simply the nest inside the Qin Wangfu!

King Qin also knew that the situation was getting worse and worse, as long as there was a slight omission. According to those people brought by Lin Qiong, they will spread the news of today's events throughout Kyoto. It's not that he's afraid of this group of sour scholars, it's just that such an ugly thing happened in the inner house, even if he wiped out all these people, he couldn't hold his breath. Moreover, isn't Nangong Yi still staring at the side?!

Thinking of this, his eyes flashed, he looked at Nangong Yi, aware of his gaze, Nangong Yi smiled slightly, and said in a leisurely tone, "Actually, it is very simple to solve this matter, since both of you have their own opinions, isn't it clear to ask Princess Qin?" ”

There was no contempt or mockery in his smile, but in King Qin's eyes, it was still very dazzling, and his fists couldn't help but clench in his wide sleeves.

Nangong Yi's words were obviously full of extreme malice, but now that things have evolved like this, if you want to solve it, the only way to solve it seems to be that the only way can only be for Princess Qin to come out and make it clear. Can...... Can you get her to come out and make it clear?! Did she say it clearly?

Li Dong showed a look of despair on his face, and the joints of his clenched fists turned faintly white.

What he never expected was that the strategy he thought was brilliant for Princess Qin would be used on his own body by someone backhanded! The other party is still a noble princess!

If he can't turn over this time, even if he has nine lives, it won't be enough to die.

At this moment, Nangong Yi looked at King Qin and said lightly, "Lord Wang, now it seems that this is just a family matter of the palace, do we need to avoid it?" ”

King Qin clenched his fists, his face turned pale, but his forehead burst out with green tendons.

There is no doubt that this matter was framed, and the mastermind behind the other party may be in this room. But all kinds of signs are very unfavorable to the Qin Palace-it is the princess of Qin who does the unruly thing, and the person who breaks this reluctance is not an outsider, but his own daughter Qingyun County Lord, no matter how you look at it, it is like a fight between the women of the inner house, is this matter really going to end in this way?

Just when King Qin was having a hard time choosing, a clear and beautiful figure walked in from outside. When he walked into the hall, Tingting stood up, and then said with a smile, "Father, this is a completely impossible thing, why do you bother to talk to them?" ”
