Chapter 125: You're Moved Too Early
The fire in the backyard was already very big, and the people of the entire Qingyuan Houfu were busy fighting the fire.
Qingyuan waited for Zheng Qingcheng to be in a hurry, so he ran to put out the fire in person.
Seeing this, Chen Xiao also ran up and pretended to help, and knocked over all the water carried by many subordinates along the way, and the buckets were damaged a lot.
This is over, there are few buckets that can be used, and this fetching water is even more troublesome.
After running to the scene, Chen Xiao rushed to the front line, threw the burning tables and chairs and wood away, and landed in those places that had not yet burned.
And so, these places were burned.
The fire finally got bigger and bigger with the help of Chen Xiao, and it took half an hour to extinguish.
However, at this time, nearly a dozen houses in Qingyuan Houfu had been burned to almost all ashes.
That's it, Chen Xiao also spoke: "Fortunately, I worked hard to fight the fire, otherwise the entire Qingyuan Houfu would be gone." ”
Everyone around them stared at Chen Xiao, as if asking: Are you serious? If it weren't for you, this fire might not have existed......
Qing Yuanhou looked at Chen Xiao angrily, he was sure that this fire was put by Chen Xiao, but there was no evidence.
Therefore, he couldn't do anything, he could only glare at Chen Xiao angrily.
Chen Xiao glanced at Qing Yuanhou and said with a smile: "Don't look at me with grateful eyes, this is what I should do." ”
Qing Yuanhou took a deep breath, trying not to explode, but said a word lightly: "Get out of ......"
"What a ......"
Chen Xiao left Qingyuan Houfu satisfied.
On the way back, Chen Xiao was in a happy mood, don't mention it.
Now, the people who went to the assassin organization to issue a mission to kill Chen Xiao basically took revenge.
There is only one, and that is that Zhiduoqi has not yet retaliated.
Zhiduo Seven, Chen Xiao is basically sure that he is the Seven Princes.
He doesn't have the power, and he doesn't have the ability to arrest the Seven Princes.
After thinking about it, there is a plan.
So, Chen Xiao went back to the doctor, wrapped some cloth around his right arm, and pretended to be injured.
Then he went into the palace.
Outside the imperial study of the palace, Chen Xiao said that he wanted to see His Majesty, but who knew that the eunuch told Chen Xiao that His Majesty had gone to the palace to study.
Gongxue is a school in the palace, which is specially provided for the princes and princesses in the palace, and some royal children to study.
The emperor has many children, and among them, several of them are already quite capable, so naturally they don't need to go to the palace to study.
But, the rest is basically enough.
Including the five princes, the six princes, the seven princes, the eight princesses, and the dragon and nine spirits.
There are also some other princesses and princes, as well as the little princes and county lords of the royal palaces, and so on.
These are all close members of the royal family, and they have to study in the palace.
Chen Xiao was led by the little eunuch, and it didn't take long for him to arrive at the palace.
Gong Xue is like a small school, and there is only one classroom, twenty or thirty people, and everyone sits together.
Scholars or Taifu often teach here.
At this moment, in the palace school, more than 20 young people were sitting, listening to a scholar teaching them some things in the Four Books and Five Classics.
After Chen Xiao came, he saw the emperor at a glance, and he was sitting behind the students and watching.
Chen Xiao approached slowly, and then went to the emperor's side and whispered, "Your Majesty ...... the minister."
The emperor sighed and said, "What's the matter?" ”
Chen Xiao shook his head: "It's nothing......"
The emperor didn't look at him carefully, so he didn't find the bandaging of Chen Xiao's arm?
The emperor nodded: "Come, sit down, and watch them go to class." ”
Chen Xiao nodded, then sat on a stool next to him, and looked at it, Long Jiuling was also listening to the class, but this stupid girl didn't seem to be able to listen to it, and she dozed off a little, which made Chen Xiao a little unbearable.
The emperor also sighed: "Look at Jiu'er, you're going to fall asleep......"
Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Yes......"
After looking at it for a while, he suddenly remembered what he was here for, Chen Xiao came back to his senses, looked at the emperor, and then looked at his bandaged arm, thinking to himself, Your Majesty, you glanced at me......
The emperor kept staring at the students in class, but did not look at Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao couldn't hold his breath, and deliberately gasped and said, "Hiss...... Ha~"
Hearing Chen Xiao's slightly painful voice, the emperor finally turned his head in confusion and saw Chen Xiao's pretending to be injured arm, and was stunned for a moment:
"Huh? What's going on with your arm? ”
Chen Xiao's face was painful, and then he smiled: "It's okay, Your Majesty, I don't have any problem here, it's very good......... Hiss...... Ha... Ah.........h
"What's not that for? What's going on? The Emperor was a little worried.
Chen Xiao said: "Alas...... I was bought to kill me, maybe I was strict in law enforcement and offended some people. ”
The emperor's face changed: "What? Buy homicide to kill you? You are a court magistrate, a magistrate of the government who administers the criminal law, and no one dares to buy and kill you? ”
Chen Xiao looked at the emperor and thought, is it so unbelievable?
The emperor said, "Have you found the murderer?" ”
Chen Xiao said: "There are quite a few, I checked a few, and I also arrested, and now there is another one, the minister thought about it for a long time, and couldn't find out who it was, so I entered the palace and wanted to ask Your Majesty." ”
"You can ask the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department to help you with the investigation of the case, how can I help you investigate?" The emperor was speechless.
But he said, "Tell me!" ”
Chen Xiao nodded and took out the assassination contract: "Your Majesty, this is an agreement signed by someone who wants to kill me and an assassin organization, that person is called Zhi Duoqi, the minister really can't figure it out, who is Zhi Duoqi?" ”
The emperor looked at it, frowned, and said, "This...... It's really hard to investigate, this name seems to be fake, right? ”
Chen Xiao nodded: "Alas, in short, I must catch this person." ”
The emperor nodded: "Well, that's natural, and it must be severely punished." ”
Chen Xiao nodded.
The conversation between the two was quiet and did not affect the students.
It's just that at this time, Chen Xiao suddenly looked at the Seven Princes among those students and shouted loudly:
"Zhiduo Seven?"
The next moment, the Seventh Prince suddenly stood up: "Here!" ”
For a moment, everyone was silent.
The Seventh Prince looked left and right, and then saw the emperor and Chen Xiao in the back, and then saw the piece of paper in Chen Xiao's hand.
Suddenly, he thought of something and sat down at once.
Everyone was a little confused, but the emperor's face became gloomy.
He took a deep breath and said, "Seven! ”
The Seventh Prince hurriedly got up, came over and bowed his head and said, "Father, the emperor ......"
"You...... When did you change your name to Chiduo Seven? The Emperor asked.
The Seventh Prince bowed his head and said, "I...... Erchen ......"
He muttered that he couldn't speak, and the emperor said, "You still dare to buy murder?" Or kill the court officials? ”
The seventh prince snapped and knelt on the ground: "Father, the son knows that he is wrong, the son is confused for a while, and the lard is ...... heart"
The emperor was angry and said, "Is it really you? Brute, as a prince, you actually spent money to buy murder officials? You...... Come on, drag him out, and give me twenty boards! ”
Chen Xiao said: "Your Majesty, will there be too many boards in the 20th National Congress......
The emperor said, "Many? Hmph, if he wasn't the prince, he would be killed for this crime! ”
Chen Xiao said: "That...... Why don't you let the minister do it himself......"
The emperor glanced at Chen Xiao and thought to himself that Chen Xiao was so distressed by the Seventh Prince today?
Said that he fought too much, and said that he fought in person? Your right hand is wounded, and you can only hit it lightly?
"Okay then, you fight it yourself!"
So the Seventh Prince went outside and lay on his stomach, Chen Xiao took the wooden stick with his left hand, and then held it with his right hand.
The Seventh Prince was moved: "Lord Chen, I bought to kill you, and you still think about me, I am so moved...... Thank you~"
Chen Xiao smiled, held the stick tightly with his right hand and said, "You moved too early......
Immediately, his right hand slammed into the buttocks of the Seventh Prince with a stick.
"Ah~~~~~h
