61. Distraction
Gu Chichi hooked his lips and laughed, Li Xiangdong wanted to get out, he didn't have to wait, his eyes turned to a wall, and he was about to think of a facility to expose Li Xiangdong's lies, but he couldn't help but see the silver beads that bounced to the ground, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Whose beads are on the ground?" ”
Everyone's eyes turned to the ground, and their expressions suddenly changed: "The silver bead has changed color." Although the color of the transformation is very light and light, it is enough to show that the tea has doubts, mockery, disdain, and glaring gaze, and turned to Li Xiangdong again, it is really clever, only put the medicine into a teacup, if the tea is drunk, others can not find any clues......
Gu Chichi, it's you who hurt me again! Li Xiangdong was heartbroken, and the liver fire flickered in his eyes, and he couldn't wait to break Gu Chichi's body to pieces.
Gu Chichi met Li Xiangdong's glare, and smiled faintly, as if to say: "You asked for it, no wonder I am." When Yinzhu first arrived on the ground, he didn't encounter the tea, but after a few turns, he actually rolled into the tea, saving Gu Chi Chi the time to think about it again......
"I lost the silver beads." After waiting for a long time, no one claimed the silver beads, and Du Fangxiang's greedy heart came up again.
This silver bead is not an ordinary silver bead, it should be a decoration on the mouth, the semi-oval petal shape is the bottom, the silver bead is embedded in the center, and it is tattooed with delicate markings.
"Sister Aroma, this silver bead is of excellent color, why didn't I know you could afford this ornament?" If Du You didn't get angry, she would have known that this silver bead was unclaimed, and she would have asked for it, how could she let Du Fangxiang's little hooves take the lead, hmph, what she couldn't get, she didn't want to get.
Du Fangxiang sobbed quietly: "Yinzhu is the dowry given to me by the concubine, I have been kept in a very close place, and my sister has naturally never seen ......"
Knowing that Du Fangxiang was lying, Du You was heartbroken, Du Fangxiang has always been articulate, and she is not her opponent, if she continues to promise, she will definitely make a fool of herself.
Taking a few deep breaths, if Du You made up his mind: let her be complacent first, and then block her when she goes back, then he will inevitably grab the silver bead.
Gu Chichi smiled faintly, and the greedy Du Fangxiang recognized the silver bead, and her work had nothing to do with herself, she just saw what she dropped on the ground and gave a hint......
Looking sideways, facing Ouyang Shaoxian's bottomless and perceptible gaze, Gu Chichi was stunned for a moment, and then looked at him without hinginging: he didn't frame slander others, he just let Yinzhu tell the truth about his work, and he was at ease with people and things, of course he wouldn't be afraid of Ouyang Shaoxian's sharp eyes......
"Li Zhuangyuan, what else do you say?" Unexpectedly, he used drugs to control Du Fangxiang to do bad things, a high-ranking official glanced at Li Xiangdong coldly, he looked elegant and eye-catching, but he was so inferior in his bones, he was pretentious, and the poor students were uneducated.
Li Xiangdong quickly calmed down, nodded, and kept chanting stubbornly: "Who have touched that cup of tea......
"You're questioning me?" The man who checked the tea glared angrily at Li Xiangdong: "I have no grievances with you, why do you want to do it, not to mention, in front of the public, how can I be a fake ......"
Li Xiangdong waved his hand: "I don't mean you." ”
The man was stunned for a moment, and then feedback: "You question, that little gentleman ......"
"People are people who have lost their hair, and they have been using the temple as their home for many years, what's the use of stealing the Fire Dragon Ball?" Before the little one could make a statement, everyone had already opened their mouths.
"That is, the Fire Dragon Ball is gone, but people want to take their lives to resist, and their lives are gone, what is the use of him asking for Fire Dragon Balls......"
"If you want to avoid your obligations, you can't wronged people......
Li Xiangdong smiled brightly: "You have misunderstood, the cup of tea I am talking about does not refer to this cup, but to the cup in Princess Du's room, Princess Du once said that she drank a cup of tea after entering the room and fell asleep, I think you all heard it." ”
Li Xiangdong's gaze swept lightly on everyone's faces: "I don't know which room Princess Du lives in, let alone go over to get something, therefore, if you want to harm Princess Du, there should be someone else, he can act in the tea in Princess Du's room without knowing it, and naturally he can also take medicine in this cup of tea......"
The sublimes did not speak, but looked at each other: Li Xiangdong said something,
"The tea in Princess Du's room, this king has ordered someone to get it." Just when everyone wanted to abandon their doubts about Li Xiangdong and think about who did the work after all, the king of Luoyang led people over, followed by a large group of people.
"Princess, are you alright?" In the crowd, a little maid went straight to Du Fangxiang, her eyes were anxious, thinking that she was the only maid beside her.
"The fire dragon ball was given to Xiangguo Temple by the emperor, although it has been recovered, and the host master is also charitable, and I don't want to make a big deal about it, but as courtiers, we must solve problems for the emperor and find out the person who dared to steal."
The solemn gaze of the king of Luoyang examined the high-ranking officials and nobles: "If this matter is not investigated, the bandits will definitely be honorable, and they may not be able to do it again on the Fire Dragon Ball, this time they are lucky, and the Fire Dragon Ball is recovered, in case they are not lucky again, they will suffer the loss of the Fire Dragon Ball, and they will die more than one or two ......."
"Yes, yes...... The prince of Luoyang said politely...... "Someone patted the horse's ass."
"That's right, the work must be investigated, the truth must be clarified, and the daring bandit must be found!" It's not about it, hang it high, the king of Luoyang can check it if he wants to, and the work of correction has nothing to do with him.
The king of Luoyang turned his gaze to Du Shangshu: "Du Shangshu, this is the tea served from Princess Du Fangxiang's room, from the time the guards entered the door here, there were people from Shangshu Palace following, and the people who brought the tea were also people from Shangshu Palace, and this king definitely didn't take action......
"The prince's status is noble, how can he slander the little girl, and he knows his lowly position." Du Shangshu cheered: "I don't know what the prince can find in the tea?" ”
The king of Luoyang frowned slightly: "It's strange to say, the tea is very normal, and there is no trace of passive action......"
Gu Chi hooked his lips, the tea was originally normal, and they probably found out the doubt......
"Could it be that the cup in question has been drunk by the little girl?" The truth, in public, only a cup of tea with questionable examples have been found, this statement is very convincing.
"Don't break this rough." King Luoyang's gaze turned to the people of Shangshu Palace: "Who is the person who usually works hard for Princess Du's diet and daily life?" ”
Du Shangshu pointed to the little maid who looked at Du Fangxiang: "It's her, Xiaoying!" ”
Du Fangxiang was shocked in her heart, and she had to do something with Xiaoying at work......
"Xiaoying, are you an insider about this job?" Du Shangshu's tone was serious and cold, and Xiaoying fell to the ground in fright: "Please check it out, I don't know about it, I really don't know about it......"
Du Shangshu glanced at Xiaoying coldly, meaning something: "Xiaoying, all the work, no matter how well it is covered, no matter how ambushed, in the end, the truth will always be clear, the matter of the Fire Dragon Ball is not trivial, you have to think carefully about it...... "If the work continues to make trouble, it will only be impossible to block it, and the involvement will become more and more extensive, so it is necessary to find a scapegoat and handle the work as soon as possible."
Xiaoying's heart fluttered, she had been in Shangshu Palace for so many years, and she could naturally hear Du Shangshu's meaning clearly: The master wanted to make himself guilty, but he really didn't do anything......
“…… Xiaoying, why don't you speak, do you have a ghost in your heart? Du Shangshu's tone was serious, looking at Xiaoying's eyes, with seduction and coercion, as if to say: "If you take the initiative to admit your evil deeds, I can consider punishing you lightly, but if you act arbitrarily and do not admit guilt, I will let your family members go to your funeral ......"
Du Fangxiang's expression turned pale, and she questioned Xiaoying at work, will she be involved again?
Her eyes flashed, and Du Fangxiang cried loudly: "Xiaoying, I usually treat you well, why do you link me?" Three months ago, you also deliberately pushed me into the pond in order to drown me for negligence......"
Up to now, she has counted all the things that Xiaoying has done to her one by one, trying to make people believe that Xiaoying really wants to harm Du Fangxiang and strive to push the Fire Dragon Ball on Xiaoying:
"Princess...... A slave is not intentional...... It's really not intentional...... "Xiaoying is like an ant on a hot pot, anxious to turn around: those jobs are indeed because of Du Youlan's temptation, and he deliberately designed Du Fangxiang, but the matter of Fire Dragon Ball really has nothing to do with him.
"In this way, Xiaoying admits that she helped others plot against the princess." Du Shangshu's eyes were shining with coldness, and his tone was extremely cold and had no temperature: This slave is considered interesting.
"Xiaoying, you really did the work, I treat you like a sister in a row, why do you link me?" Du Fangxiang cried poignantly, pretending to cry to win mercy, which has long been commonplace for her.
Du Fangxiang had long known that Xiaoying was Du Youruo's person, so she didn't expose it, because she was very inquired about Xiaoying's methods, when Xiaoying designed her, she could always pretend to be injured in the net, but in fact, there was nothing.
If she removes Xiaoying, if Du You will definitely send her another enemy, she will spend a lot of time to inquire about the enemy, extravagant energy, it is better to keep a Xiaoying who knows the roots, and when the link is linked, it can still be used by her......
"This ...... This ......" Xiaoying's eyes turned sharply, thinking about how to handle it, and after a while, she gritted her teeth and was ruthless: "Master spares his life, it was Li Zhuangyuan who instigated the slave to do this, he said that if I don't listen to him, he will kill me......"
Du Shangshu clearly wanted Xiaoying to take on all the obligations, if she didn't bear it, there would be no good situation, therefore, she was excited and pushed the work to Li Xiangdong, she found out as a coerced person, and she was also a victim, and the punishment should not be too heavy.
The tea from Li Xiangdong was taken into action, and the pilgrims who lived in Xiangguo Temple knew it, and Xiaoying slandered Li Xiangdong, and no one would suspect it.
"If you talk nonsense, I won't break you down." Li Xiangdong yelled and pounced on Xiaoying, but was forcibly pulled away by the guards, he couldn't imagine that after a turn of work, the culprit who stole the Dragon Ball actually caused him.
Xiaoying was cautious and timidly commented: "I didn't break you down before, if my colleagues didn't call you Li Zhuangyuan, I wouldn't know that you were the new champion Li Xiangdong......"
"No wonder he helped Princess Du speak, originally because he was afraid that the theft he did would be exposed...... one person mocked.
"That is, if you want to cover it up, or the prince of Luoyang is wise, and find out the work......" another person joked.
"Lord Wang, you believe me." Li Xiangdong begged to look at the king of Luoyang: "The person who stole the dragon ball is not me, it is Du Fangxiang, she said that she wants to show me the fire dragon ball left by her mother, I don't know that it is the ...... on the stolen Buddha statue"
In the past, Li Xiangdong didn't tell the truth in a row, that is, he was afraid that his work would involve him and affect his career, so he would have thought that Du Fangxiang would not know the kindness and righteousness, and put all the mistakes on him, so he would not be a substitute for the dead.
Du Fangxiang wiped the corners of her eyes with a silk handkerchief: "When did I say these words to you?" Li Zhuangyuan can refrain from his obligation, showing that you controlled me with drugs, and you want to exercise my way to get the Fire Dragon Ball, I am a victim, a husband of the bearded eyebrows, if you dare to do it, you must dare to be a ......"
Li Xiangdong is a noble person, his status is not low, and he is a concubine who is oppressed every day, which can be said to be different from heaven and earth, his family will definitely settle this matter for him, he will not be punished too heavily, and it is a good way to push the work on him.
Li Xiangdong also knew that explaining the truth at this time would only intensify the doubts of others, but he couldn't control it so much, the fire dragon ball was stolen by Du Fangxiang, why should he bear the obligation, even if the king of Luoyang punished him, he would have to pull Du Fangxiang as a backing.
What's more, Du Fangxiang is the concubine of Shangshu Palace, and the king of Luoyang will not punish them heavily even if he sees Du Shangshu's affection.
The king of Luoyang ignored Li Xiangdong and looked sideways at Du Shangshu: "Du Shangshu, this matter involves two people from Shangshu Palace, one of them is your Ling Yuan, the work will be handled by Shangshu, this king believes that Shangshu will be able to handle the work fairly and fairly, so that the people will be convinced." ”
"Thank you for your love, your humble duties will inevitably recuperate and complete the work." Du Shangshu snickered: This is a good time to perform, and I must not miss it.
Straightening up the family, Du Shangshu looked at Li Xiangdong, Du Fangxiang, and Xiaoying, and said sharply: "Li Xiangdong, as an eight-rank court official, actually greedily stole the fire dragon ball of Xiangguo Temple, and defended the law and beheaded according to the law, but he presided over the charity of the master and no longer investigated the matter, Li Xiangdong was dismissed from his official position, and was repatriated to his hometown of Yangzhou, and he was permanently not allowed to appoint ......."
Gu Chichi smiled faintly, which means that Li Xiangdong can only be a civilian for a lifetime, and he can no longer enter the capital, and he can't be an official......
"Lord Shangshu, I didn't steal the Fire Dragon Ball, I really didn't steal it." Li Xiangdong's eyes were red and he shouted hoarsely, if the guards didn't pull him deadly, it was expected that he would pounce and grab Du Shangshu's collar and yell:
Permanently not appointed, how can they be so self-conscious, they have worked themselves, but they end up as promised, reluctantly, how can they be reluctant......
Du Fangxiang rubbed her ears: Originally from Yangzhou, Li Xiangdong was not a nobleman in the capital, but a poor man in Yangzhou......
Ignoring Li Xiangdong's whistling commentary, Du Shangshu went on to sentence: "The maid Xiaoying, although she was coerced by Li Xiangdong, and the drug was a last resort, but if she committed the following crimes, she designed the master, that is, she was sentenced to death, dragged back to Shangshu Palace, and killed with a cane." "This is Xiangguo Temple, the Buddha is committed to charity, purifying all sentient beings, and there is no reason to kill people here.
Xiaoying only felt a bang, and her brain was suddenly vacant, and it wasn't until the guards drove her out that she gave feedback: "Master, spare your life...... Spare your life...... Work has nothing to do with slavery...... It really has nothing to do with slaves...... "Xiaoying struggled with death, crying hoarsely: "Master...... The slave confessed his guilt for the sake of the entire Shangshu Palace......"
Du Shangshu's eyes flashed unnaturally, I was afraid that Xiaoying would say something that would damage the reputation of Shangshu Palace, and commanded sharply: "Diao Nu, dare to quibble, come on, shut her mouth!" ”
Du Fangxiang collapsed to the ground, trembling continuously, oh my God, the cane died, what a cruel punishment it was, fortunately, he was clever and pushed the work away, otherwise, wouldn't it be himself who fell into this kind of situation......
"Du Fangxiang was designed, and he just stole the fire dragon ball without decomposition, but the theft of the dragon ball annoyed the Buddha, the capital punishment can be avoided, the living crime is unforgivable, and he will be beaten fifty boards, and he will think about it for three months behind closed doors!"
"Daughter, joy to be punished!" Compared with Li Xiangdong and Xiaoying's punishment, she is already much lighter.
Du Fangxiang's knowledge of current affairs, Du Shangshu is very pleased, he is a judge, he naturally has to treat everyone equally, he can't have a direction, his punishment for her is light, if she makes a lot of noise unwillingly, he will have to increase her punishment.
"Lord Wang, can you still write freely about the judgment of the humble position?" Xiaoying did not simply intervene in the theft of the Dragon Ball, but it was a fact that she committed the following crime, and sentenced her to death with a cane, and she was not convicted, otherwise, one day some minions would also learn from her, and they would be coerced to death by their masters, and the entire capital would be consolidated.
The king of Luoyang nodded: "Du Shangshu's interrogation, this king is very freehand." ”
"Du Shangshu, you are unfair, and you have not investigated the truth of your work." Li Xiangdong was still shouting: "It was your daughter Du Fangxiang who stole the Fire Dragon Ball, and she had a lot of obligations, but you only beat her fifty times, but let me, an innocent person, bear all the charges, just because she is your daughter, am I just an outsider......
"Li Zhuangyuan, the work has been made very clear, Aroma's theft of the Fire Dragon Ball was controlled by you under your druggedness, and I can't help it." Du Shangshu's face is ugly, he is an official and judged, and he is very jealous of others saying that he is unfair.
"Li Zhuangyuan, you may not struggle anymore and confess your guilt obediently." The person who checked the teacup was disdainful: "Although Princess Du Wu is a princess of Shangshu Palace, she grew up in Shangshu Palace since she was a child, what kind of magic weapon has not been seen, although the fire dragon ball is rare, but it is the Buddha's thing, and the matter of moving the Buddha is naturally known!" ”
The implication is that Li Xiangdong was born in a poor family, greedy and does not know the rules, only he dares to risk the danger of being punished by God to move the Buddha.
What the? Du Fangxiang is actually a lowly princess, and she pretends to be a noble concubine to deceive herself, she is really shameless to arrive home, and she is better than Qinglou: "Du Shangshu, you have all been deceived by Du Fangxiang, the truth of the work is ...... Hmmm......"
Before Li Xiangdong finished speaking, his mouth was blocked, but he wanted to annotate it clearly, he struggled to death, shook his head continuously, and his cold eyes fell on Du Fangxiang, if his eyes could kill, it was expected that Du Fangxiang would have died thousands of times.
People who are sick and struggling, the nobles of the Gaomen have seen a lot, and there is no extra feedback, Du Shangshu sighed softly, waved his hand, and Li Xiangdong was dragged out.
The king of Luoyang looked around: "The work is over, but the teaching should be remembered deeply, and when the night is late, go back and rest." ”
Everyone dispersed in groups, and Gu Chi also returned to the courtyard to rest, but for some reason, she always thought that someone was following her behind her, but when she looked back, it was empty, and she didn't see half of her face: Isn't it because she is too careful......
The queen mother is weak and used to going to bed early, Ma Guifei is pregnant and sleeps early, Zhang Guifei doesn't know if she sleeps, and it is true that the light in the room is weak.
Gu Chi Chi returned to his room, after freshening up, he lay on the bed, the fire dragon ball incident not only brought down Li Xiangdong, but also damaged the reputation of Shangshu Palace, it can be said that the harvest is not small, but let Li Xiangdong return to Yangzhou unscathed, it is too cheap for him, and the sin he suffered in the world is a hundred times heavier than him......
After a tiring day and a late night, Gu Chi thought about work and soon fell asleep.
"Boom!" In a trance, a muffled sound woke Gu Chichi, she thought that the maid on duty at night had knocked over something inappropriately, so she didn't pay attention, turned over and reminded: "Be careful......"
A black figure came into his eyes, Gu Chichi's misty mind instantly recovered, sat up suddenly, and said, "Who are you, why will you find it in my room?" ”
Except for his eyes, the man in black was covered in black, and when he looked at it from afar, he looked like a monster from hell.
The man in black smiled coldly, his eyes shining coldly: "I don't know if Eldest Princess Gu has ever heard of the flower thief?" ”
At this time, Gu Chi Chi did not save the ink silk, scattered behind him at will, his beautiful big eyes were dark, shining with a deep light, and his beautiful little face was even more dusty under the light of the weak candlelight, and the man in black couldn't help but feel a wave of excitement.
After recovering from the recovery, the black-clothed people cursed angrily: Damn, I can't help but lose my mind, no wonder the old leader values her so much, she really has the blood to seduce people, but, after tonight, she is a half-old MILF that everyone despises, marrying into the royal family of Zhenguo, dreaming......
Gu Chichi's anxious eyes looked out of the door, and the man in black smiled coldly: "Those stupid uncles and maids were all knocked unconscious by me, and the rest of them were also taken by me, so don't expect someone to save you......"
Gu Chichi was shocked in his heart, but his face was as if nothing happened: "Why don't you dare to show your true face, is it faceless?" ”
Gu Chichi's stimulation, the man in black trickled unmoved, and smiled coldly: "Gu Chichi, the next morning, there is no face to see people, but it is you!" After taking a few quick steps, his tall body rushed straight towards Gu Chichi.
