Bet?

Zong Xiu looked at Cheng Yanjin suspiciously, what kind of bet?

Just when Zong Xiu was puzzled, Cheng Yanjin had already pointed to Yin Dao of Jingzhao Mansion who was kneeling on the ground.

"Your Majesty, Meng Xianglin slandered my virtuous brother for assassinating Cui Xianwen, and now the bad handsome has personally confirmed that the assassination has nothing to do with my virtuous brother, so ...... the bet they made before"

Li Shimin's face was gloomy, and after thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Yin Mengxianglin of Jingzhao Mansion was sluggish, and he was in an important position to supervise the security of Gyeonggi, and he neglected his duties, causing Cui Xianwen, the permanent attendant, to be assassinated; After the incident, he did not make every effort to investigate the case, and slandered Honglu Siqing, which has constituted two crimes of dereliction of duty and framing, and should be severely punished! However, reciting his past achievements, he was beaten with thirty court sticks, demoted to three levels, and exiled to Lingnan to set an example. ”

Finished.

It's completely over.

With Li Shimin's golden mouth, Meng Xianglin knew that his career in this life had come to an end.

However, the Son of Heaven's oracle has been issued, what else can Meng Xianglin do, kneeling on the ground in despair: "Thank you, Lord Longen." ”

The era of imperial power is like this, even if the emperor wants to kill you, you have to thank you, after all, it is the emperor! If you lose your courtesy, the punishment is even greater.

Outside the hall, two Jin Wuwei had already walked in, one on the left and one on the right, setting up Meng Xianglin.

After all, Li Shimin just said: first beat the thirty court sticks.

Even if you are demoted and exiled, you will still be beaten with a stick in the Thirty Court.

Seeing that the two Jin Wuwei were about to leave with Meng Xianglin on their feet, Zong Xiu suddenly shouted: "Wait! ”

In Li Shimin's puzzled eyes, the two Jin Wuwei who were holding Meng Xianglin also stopped and watched Zong Xiu come over.

"Honglu Siqing, what do you want?" Meng Xianglin's heart was not good.

"Hey, you don't know what I want to do? We've made a bet! ”

Zong Xiu said as he approached Meng Xianglin.

"Didn't you shout just now to punish my Nine Clans? Don't worry, I won't punish you for the nine clans, Lao Tzu has to use the soles of your shoes to lift your face today. ”

Zong Xiu really took off his shoes, and took the deerskin boots to Meng Xianglin's face.

'Smack! ’

In the stunned expressions of Li Shimin and Manchao Wenwu, Zong Xiu really did it.

"Zong Xiu, you dare to insult me like this!"

Meng Xianglin shouted loudly, he wanted to struggle, but he was grabbed by his arm by the two Jin Wuwei and couldn't move.

Zong Xiu sneered: "If you don't let you go out, don't think about going out." Damn, you dare to frame me, why can't I insult you! ”

'Smack'

'Smack'

Once, again, again.

Zong Xiu was wearing deerskin boots, and Meng Xianglin's face was a wild whip.

The two Jin Wuwei who were holding Meng Xianglin were also embarrassed, after all, it was Honglu Siqing who beat people, and the saint didn't speak, so they didn't dare to stop him.

"Makes you talk a lot of!"

"Let you slander me!"

"It's not good to be a bully!"

“……”

Zong Xiu beat and scolded at the same time, and those civil and military officials all looked at Meng Xianglin's face.

"Enough! Zong Aiqing, stop! ”

Seeing that Meng Xianglin's mouth was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and a few teeth were spit out, Li Shimin finally spoke.

Cheng Yanjin walked over and grabbed Zong Xiu, who was still going to fight, and said with a smile: "Boy, you have to be forgiving and forgiving, look at your sweaty beating, take a break." ”

“……”

The Manchu Dynasty looked at Cheng Yanjin speechlessly, how did this old goblin speak?

Li Shimin waved his hand again, and after letting the two Jin Wuwei escort Meng Xianglin down, he said, "Cui Aiqing." ”

"The minister is here."

Cui Renshi, who had been standing in the queue wiping his tears, walked out with red eyes.

He is Cui Xianwen's uncle, and he also recommended Cui Xianwen to the court. Now that Cui Xianwen is dead, Cui Renshi is naturally sad.

Li Shimin sighed: "Cui Aiqing, the deceased has passed away, and the mourning is smooth." Now that Cui Xianwen is dead, I will grant you three months off and bring him back to Boling's homeland for burial. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Cui Renshi wiped his tears again, thanked him, and turned around and walked out of the hall.

"Dong Aiqing."

"The minister is here."

Li Shimin took a deep breath and said to Dong Xuancheng: "No matter what method you use, I will see the real murderer arrested within ten days!" ”

The short Dong Xuancheng had a sad face, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "The minister must do his best." ”

Li Shimin also knew Dong Xuancheng's difficulties, after all, the murderer was not only good at swordsmanship, but also good at disguise and illusion, and now he didn't even leave any clues, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to find out in ten days.

But he doesn't care!

As long as the murderer is not arrested and brought to justice one day, Li Shimin will not be able to sleep and eat.

A master with superb swordsmanship and good at disguise and illusion lurks in Chang'an, who can rest assured?

Li Shimin rubbed his temples and beckoned to the eunuch next to him.

The eunuch had served Li Shimin for many years, and of course he understood what the emperor meant, so he immediately dragged his voice in a sharp voice and said, "Retire from the dynasty." ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty."

In the congratulatory sound of the hundred officials, Li Shimin left the hall.

Zong Xiu was about to leave, but was pulled by Cheng Yanjin.

"Brother, what's the hurry, wait for me."

"What's the matter, brother?" Zong Xiu said curiously.

Cheng Yanjin smiled, didn't speak, and waited until the hundred officials were almost gone, then he took Zong Xiu's arm and walked out, saying as he walked: "How do you think Cui Xianwen died?" ”

Zong Xiu rolled his eyes: "Didn't Dong Xuancheng say it, he was assassinated by a master, and he still sealed his throat with a sword." ”

Cheng Yanjin cast a meaningful look: "I'm asking who is responsible for this." ”

“…… I didn't do it, you ask me, I ask who to go? ”

Zong Xiu said angrily.

"Haha, huh? Then do you know why we didn't speak for you just now? ”

Cheng Yanjin sneered.

Zong Xiu pursed her lips and pretended to be angry: "Tribulation sees the truth, brother, I can see it, you treat me as an outsider." ”

"Go, go, look for a fight!"

Cheng Yanjin raised his hand and was about to fight.

Zong Xiu dodged with a smile: "Yes, even if I say the wrong thing, it will not be successful." ”

"That's pretty much it." Cheng bit the golden urn and said angrily.

Zong Xiu then asked: "By the way, when I first went to the palace, you didn't say a word, but because Your Majesty ordered it in advance?" ”

Cheng Yanjin glanced at Zong Xiu deeply, and then said, "I found that I can't see through you." ”

Without waiting for Zong Xiu to speak, Cheng Biting Jin said faintly: "Should you say that you are bold, or do you hide deeply?" ”

"Forehead ......"

Zong Xiu 'chuckled' in his heart, could it be that Cheng Yanjin saw something?

Really!

As soon as this thought arose, Cheng Yanjin had already lowered his voice: "You let you do that case in Chang'an County." ”

"What!"

Zong Xiu exclaimed in surprise, and Jin Wuwei, who was on duty next to him, looked over one after another.

"What's all the fuss? If Your Majesty wanted to cure you, he would have put you in jail. Cheng Yanjin pulled Zong Xiu's arm, and at the same time shouted to Jin Wuwei next to him: "What do you see, haven't you seen whispering?" ”
