Since the Ministry of Industry pulled up the wall, the courtyard of Zong Xiu's house is more than four miles from east to west and three miles from north to south, which can be described as unprecedented.

The only fly in the ointment is that he has not built a house, and he now lives in a house sent by Yan Chengcheng. However, the original courtyard wall has been demolished, and it is easy to wander around with the golden tiger.

Yi responded affectionately, bent down and picked up the golden tiger that was fluttering at his feet to go to the backyard.

It's said to be a backyard, but it's actually a wasteland, and the courtyard wall was not made a floor, and there were weeds and trees everywhere, but Jin Hu liked it.

Without him, the wilderness is bigger.

After Zong Xiu ate something, he picked up a pen to write and draw, and these days he has already thought about what business to do in the future.

Furniture!

The seats, benches, cabinets, and beds in the Tang Dynasty were extremely uncomfortable, and Zong Xiuxian was bored, so he painted the sofas, chairs, hanging baskets, entrances, shoe cabinets and so on in later generations, but they have not been officially made public.

After drawing another pattern, Zong Xiu put down the pen with satisfaction, and was about to dry the ink when he heard a knock on the door outside.

"Bang Bang"

"Bang Bang"

The knock on the door was thick and urgent, and a dull voice sounded at the same time: "Is Honglu Siqing here?" His Majesty has a will, and Zhao Honglu Temple Qing quickly entered the palace. ”

"Into the palace?"

Zong Xiu frowned slightly, after he became the secretary of Honglu Temple, he hadn't been to the court much, what did Lao Li ask him to do in the palace?

Although I couldn't figure it out, I still walked out of the house and opened the courtyard door.

The person who came was a Jin Wuwei wearing bright light armor, followed by eight or nine guards.

Seeing this situation, Zong Xiu was suspicious: "I don't know why Your Majesty asked me to enter the palace?" ”

"I don't know about this little one."

"Is there a decree?" Zong Xiu asked again.

Jin Wuwei shook his head: "The small one is just a message from His Majesty, but there is no holy decree." But Your Majesty said, if the Hou Ye doesn't go, let us carry you over. ”

Zong Xiu: "......"

Carry it over?

I'm afraid that this Jin Wuwei doesn't want to offend him, so he uses the word 'lift'.

Zong Xiu sighed: "That's okay, wait for me to clean up." ”

Saying that, Zong Xiu was about to close the door, but Jin Wuwei stepped forward to block the door and said: "Master Hou, Your Majesty said, you just need to enter the palace, and you don't have to clean up anything." ”

"Forehead ......"

The more this is the case, the more frightened Zong Xiu becomes.

What's the situation?

He was sent to the palace not to let the eunuch pass the decree, but instead sent a team of Jin Wuwei over.

Come on, just come, it's like a thief, and you look like you're afraid that he's running away.

Don't......

Zong Xiu suddenly thought of a possibility. Just as he was about to ask, he saw Yi Chengqing walking back with the golden tiger. When she saw Jin Wuwei blocking the door, her face changed slightly.

"Childe, why is that?"

When he said this, Yi Qingqing's right hand had already touched the belt around his waist.

There is a soft sword hidden there!

Seeing this, how dare Zong Xiu go back to pack his things, in case Jin Wuwei doesn't know each other again, Yi will definitely fight with Jin Wuwei.

Not to mention who loses and who wins, as long as you start to do it, this matter cannot be explained.

Zong Xiu hurriedly said: "It's okay, Your Majesty called me into the palace." Girl, you take Jinhu back to the room first, you don't have to wait for me to eat at night. ”

After speaking, Zong Xiu said to Jin Wuwei, who was blocking the door: "Didn't you enter the palace?" Let's go, what are you doing? ”

"Yes, Master Hou, please get in the car!"

Jin Wuwei made a salute, pointed to the carriage parked at the door and asked Zong Xiu to go up.

Yi looked at it with a worried face, and after Zong Xiu got into the carriage, he turned around and waved his hand: "Don't worry, I'll go back as soon as I go, maybe I'll have dinner in the palace in the evening, and if it's late, I won't come back." Rest assured, you will definitely arrive home tomorrow. ”

In Yi Chengqing's reluctant eyes, the leading Jin Wuwei turned over and got on his horse, and the accompanying guards also drove the carriage, and those who got on the horse got on the horse, escorting the carriage to the palace.

When Zong Xiu arrived at the Lin De Palace, he saw that the atmosphere in the hall was extremely strange.

Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair with a solemn expression, and the major princes and the six Shangshu below were all there, especially the Jingzhao Mansion Mansion Yin was really trembling and kneeling on the ground, not daring to raise his head.

"Chen Honglu Siqing has seen Your Majesty."

Zong Xiu sang a promise, and was about to go to Wenchen's side, when Li Shimin suddenly burst out: "Zong Xiu, you are guilty!" ”

"What do you mean by that, Your Majesty? The minister has been recuperating at home recently, what is the crime? Zong Xiu pretended to be frightened.

Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know why I passed you into the palace today?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty's words, the minister doesn't know."

"Then do you know that a shocking murder happened in Chang'an City recently!"

Li Shimin's voice became louder and louder, and finally he shouted directly.

Zong Xiu tilted his head, pretended to recall, and quickly said: "But the case of the murder of the urban gentry in Chang'an? When the minister heard about it, he was planning to publish it in the newspapers and magazines, so that everyone could pay attention to the prevention of theft and thieves. ”

Seeing Zong Xiu pretending to be confused, Li Shimin blew his beard angrily and stared.

After Li Tang established the country, the royal family supervised the world with internal guards, and there were some things that others didn't know, could he not know?

Li Shimin said angrily: "It's just a squire, if you die, you will die, I asked for another thing!" ”

Seeing this scene, Zong Xiu confirmed: Damn, the scar-faced guard really made a move, it seems that Cui Xianwen is really dead! Damn, now only the death of the eldest son of the Cui family can cause the old Li Longyan to be furious.

Although Cui Xianwen's death was planned by him, Zong Xiu would never be stupid enough to admit it, and said at the moment: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know." You also know that the minister lives far away, and the news is not very well-informed, why don't you order it? ”

"You ......"

Li Shimin was so angry, he received the wind, but he didn't expect Zong Xiu to admit it, and immediately shouted: "Let me ask you, have you had a holiday with Cui Xianwen recently?" ”

"Cui Xianwen? The minister has always had a holiday with him, and he changed the minister's pen and ink in the last autumn exam. However, Lord Chen doesn't remember the villain, forgive him, and hasn't paid attention to him recently. ”

Although Zong Xiu arrogantly admitted that he had a grudge against Cui Xianwen, he praised himself in his words.

Li Shimin suddenly pointed to Jingzhao Mansion Yin, who was kneeling on the ground, and said: "Early this morning, Jingzhao Mansion Yin received a report that Cui Xianwen died at home, and there was the body of the guard next to him, does this matter have anything to do with you?" ”

"What? Choi Hyun Moon is dead? Your Majesty, do you think Cui Xianwen's death has something to do with the minister? ”

Zong Xiu was shocked at first, and then cried out: "Wronged! Your Majesty, you have wronged your minister. The minister and Cui Xianwen have a holiday, but he has always been embarrassed by Weichen, and Weichen has never provoked him. ”

"Your Majesty, how can you think that the minister killed him?"

"You forgot, last time he stole the minister's pen and ink, which caused you to be furious. It is in this Lin De Hall that you hand over the right to dispose of him to Wei Chen. If Weichen wanted him to die, he could have killed him at that time. Why wait for the assassination to be done afterwards? ”

In front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, Zong Xiu became more and more aggrieved, and in the end, he shouted: "Even if the minister wants to assassinate him, he must have that ability." In the Manchu Dynasty, my family background is meager, not to mention the killer, even the family guards are idlers from the village, no one has the ability, which one can do the assassination. ”

Next to him, Chu Suiliang, Fang Xuanling, and Kong Yingda were also the personal experience of the Lin De Hall last time, and they would listen to Zong Xiu's complaints, and they couldn't help but plead.

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Honglu Siqing is indeed not suspicious, if he wants Cui Xianwen to die, why wait until now?" ”

Chu Suiliang also said: "Last time, Cui Xianwen secretly changed the pen and ink of Honglu Siqing, and was punished by His Majesty, as long as Honglu Siqing said to kill, Cui Xianwen's head will fall to the ground." And there is only one maid in the Honglu Temple's mansion, although there are some industries, but there has been no nursery. The Cui Mansion is heavily guarded, and it is by no means something that ordinary dealers can sneak into. ”

Kong Yingda even said directly: "I believe in the character of Honglu Siqing, and I believe in the virtue of the 'Tianwen Sect'." The assassination of the dark flower is a villain's act, and it is definitely not Zong Xiu's doing. ”

Cui Xianwen is the eldest son of the Cui family, and the purpose of his entry into the dynasty is also clear to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty - the Cui family wants to get a piece of the pie in the power center of the Tang Dynasty.

Especially during Cui Xianwen's tenure, he acted in a high-profile manner, and he was more or less disliked by the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs.

And Zong Xiu is different, not to mention his many miraculous achievements, he has never been proud of his achievements, and he is not even in the court, he is dedicated to doing business, and he never fights with them for power, which makes many Chang'an dignitaries quite satisfied. So although Zong Xiu is not popular, he is not bad.

They saw that Fang Xuanling, Chu Suiliang, and Kong Yingda all came out to plead, and they didn't care about saying two more good words.

Anyway, saying good things is a matter of touching the skin of the mouth, and you don't need money, you can not only sell a favor of the 'Tianwen Sect', but also show that you are humane, why not.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Confucius said is reasonable. Although Honglu Siqing is young, his moral conduct can withstand scrutiny, and this matter must have nothing to do with him. ”

"Reconsideration."

"Reconsideration."

“……”

After the three of them pleaded, a bunch of people came out of Hula to help say good things. And Cheng Yanjin, Li Shiji, Wei Zheng, and Chai Shao, who have always been good friends with Zong Xiu, stood in the queue one by one, without saying a word.

Seeing that dozens of people were helping Zong Xiu speak, Li Shimin was panting for breath, and the Jingzhao Mansion Mansion Yin, who was kneeling on the ground, turned even pale.

Really.

Just when the ministers were discussing, Li Shimin slapped the dragon case violently and shouted: "What kind of system is the noisy above Jinluan!" Did I ask you? ”

"Your Majesty forgives you."

The ministers instantly knelt on the ground.

Li Shimin stared at Zong Xiu and shouted: "If this matter is not your doing, why are you the most suspicious of the excerpt handed over by Yin of Jingzhao Mansion!" ”

"What? Am I the most suspicious? "Zong

Xiu was instantly unhappy, and quickly ran to the side of Jingzhao Mansion Mansion Yin, who was kneeling on the ground, and said loudly: "Lord Meng, what enmity do I have with you, why did you slander people's innocence out of thin air and wronged me in front of Your Majesty?" If you don't make it clear today, even in front of Your Majesty, I will lift your face with the sole of your shoe. ”

Above the main hall, Zong Xiu jumped and jumped angrily, and Yin of Jingzhao Mansion said even more tremblingly: "Honglu Siqing, this mansion is only suspicious. ”

"Doubt? If you suspect you, tell Your Majesty that I am the most suspicious? Damn, just because I had a holiday with Cui Xianwen, you doubt me? ”

Zong Xiu directly pointed at Jingzhao Mansion Yin's face and nose and scolded: "Just based on your suspicions, Lao Tzu will become a suspect?" Do you know that you can't joke in front of the saint, you may kill Lao Tzu with a word! ”
