Chapter 25: Rivalry

"Yes, Prime Minister."

Steward Chen waved his hand, and those family members pressed him to plan to go to the official mansion.

Bangs kept struggling, although he looked thin, his strength was still quite strong, he bit the hand that grabbed his family, broke free, and knelt on the ground with a plop, kept kowtowing, pointing to his mouth and screaming "Ahh......hh

Looking very anxious, Su Yexi endured the pain in her arm, beat her spirits, and said

"Father, I think this person seems to have something to say, I see that he is dressed like a beggar, sneaking into the Prime Minister's Mansion in the middle of the night, I don't know if it is for wealth or what, it is better for my father to interrogate and make plans."

Seeing this, Aunt Gu on the side felt faintly uneasy, she didn't arrange a thief, where did this thief come from? She looked at Su Yexi and smiled at her, like a spring breeze in March, it seemed to be as gentle as the moon, but it was actually cold and biting.

Gu Qingwei looked away, her eyebrows furrowed, no matter what, no matter what purpose this beggar has, he can't live!

Her beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of cruelty, and she said miserably

"Xiangye, just like the eldest lady said, this thief sneaked into the prime minister's mansion in the middle of the night, not to seek wealth, I am afraid that he is also a flower thief, otherwise this thief will not go anywhere else, how can he appear in the concubine's incense garden, and run to hurt the eldest lady?

"Although the concubine and the eldest lady are not insulted by this thief, but for the reputation of the prime minister's mansion and the reputation of the eldest lady, the prime minister wants the government to directly execute this person, otherwise, when he explains, if it is nonsense, it will be spread, how can this be good?"

Su Yexi's face was pale, his face was sad, and his eyebrows and eyes were a little cold.

It is worthy of Gu Qingwei, the old fox!

She must have expected that Liu Hai would be unfavorable to her, and she was eager to get rid of him, originally it was just a crime of stealing, and the crime was not death, but now it is good, insulting the innocence of the official lady has really become a real capital crime!

"Ahem."

Su Yexi coughed a few times, and her tone was soft

"Father, Aunt Gu's words are reasonable, but Aunt Gu also said that Ye Xi and Aunt Gu have not suffered any damage to their innocence, my father is a first-class official in the court, and he is trusted by the emperor, relying on cleanliness and integrity, and when I encounter this today, I can't waste people's lives for my own selfishness, and it will damage my father's reputation if it is passed on, I hope my father will think twice."

"Besides, this person is just a dumb person, and he can't speak at all, so my aunt is afraid that she is too worried."

Gu Qingwei was stunned for a moment, looking at the thief, it seemed that she hadn't heard him from beginning to end, she glanced at Chen Qiming, Chen Qiming understood, his expression was grim, and he asked at Liu Hai

"What's your name? What is the purpose of infiltrating the Prime Minister's Mansion? Say"

"Ahhh......h

Bangs only made an ah-ah-ah sound in his mouth, pointing at Gu Qingwei with his finger, everyone was puzzled, Gu Qingwei's face sank, and she scolded angrily with a cold face: "What are you pointing at me?" You're sick! ”

Bangs was yelled at by her, quieted down, her head was lowered, the whole person trembled, and she seemed to be very scared, this scene made others think that Gu Qingwei had a ghost, the corners of Su Yexi's mouth rose slightly, she really didn't find the wrong person, this bangs is really good at acting, and she doesn't lose Gu Qingwei at all!

Su Zhengnan's sword eyebrows furrowed deeply, as if he was thinking about the seriousness of this matter, seeing that Su Zhengnan seemed to be moved, Gu Qingwei gritted her teeth with hatred in her heart: "What the eldest lady said is not right, although this thief really can't speak, but who said that he will have an accomplice, otherwise how dare a dumb person blatantly sneak into the Prime Minister's Mansion, the reputation of the Prime Minister is heavy, but if this thief is easily spared, it will not only hurt the reputation of the Prime Minister, but also the reputation of the eldest lady, the reputation of the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, if this matter spreads, Wouldn't it make outsiders laugh! ”

Su Yexi glanced at her coldly, not wanting to talk to her more, looking at Su Zhengnan, his eyes were clear, and he said righteously

"Father, the daughter doesn't want to say anything, everything the daughter says is for the sake of the father, the father has always been fair and selfless, and the official is honest, not only the emperor trusts the father, but even the people of Fenglin City also admire and respect the father's personality very much.

However, the more the father is reused by the emperor, it is inevitable that he will not be jealous of others, I don't know how many people in this court are staring at his father, if this matter is caught by someone and impeached to the emperor, the emperor will definitely be furious, disappointed in his father, and his father will also be ridiculed by the world.

Moreover, the father has always been a role model for his daughters, and the third sister is the most popular with the father, precisely because the third sister has been by her father's side all the year round and learned the fine traditions of her father, so she can be so good.

If my father really doesn't care about the indiscriminate and cares about people's lives, as the so-called people are the same, does my aunt want my father to gamble with his own future and the future of the prime minister's house? The daughter said that, and hoped that her father would think twice. ”

As soon as these words came out, the surroundings were extremely quiet, although Su Zhengnan was silent on his face, he was already shocked to the extreme, he couldn't help but take a closer look at his daughter, is this her daughter-in-law? How can he be a different person, he used to be submissive, he had no ink on his chest, and he had nothing else but a face that captivated the country and the city, how could he say so much today.

"Xi'er is right, she is worthy of being my good granddaughter, and she really has the style of her grandmother back then."

A hoarse but majestic voice came, and the old lady walked over, followed by Zhihua and Aunt Zhuang.

When she saw the injury on Su Yexi's arm, she looked worried, and her heart rose to her throat:

"Xi'er, I heard that Zhihua said that you were injured, and my grandmother was very worried, so I came over immediately, are you okay?"

Su Yexi beat her spirits and smiled with relief: "Let my grandmother worry, Xi'er is fine, Imperial Doctor Liu has already given medicine to her daughter." ”

The old lady calmed down and nodded, she looked at Gu Qingwei, her face sank, and she said coldly

"You are still an elder, and you have been an old man in this house for more than ten years, how can you know that there are not as many as a little girl, Zhengnan has always been fair and honest, clean and honest, how can you still instigate the grass to take people's lives.

Today's emperor rules the world with benevolence and filial piety, if it weren't for the fact that Zhengnan has a daughter like Xi'er who understands reason and understands the general situation, and really does this kind of thing of carelessness for his own selfishness, he is sorry for the emperor's trust, and he is unkind, do you want Zhengnan to bear this unkind crime, Aunt Gu is a person who is a pillow in Zhengnan, why don't you even understand this truth? ”

Gu Qingwei's face was red and white when the old lady said it, and she had no face to face others, she showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, and her tone was unwilling

"Yes, the old lady is right, it's Qingwei's."

Su Zhengnan's expression was solemn, and he waved his hand, and his tone was majestic

"That's it, don't report to the official first, and wait until the prime minister asks clearly."

"Yes, Prime Minister."

Chen Qiming made a look, and those family members let go of their hands.

Gu Qingwei clenched the silk handkerchief in her hand, smiled bitterly on her face, and was very unwilling in her heart, revealing a trace of viciousness in her eyes!

Su Zhengnan looked at the bangs, his eyes were sharp, and he said coldly

"It doesn't matter if you can't speak, can you write?"

Bangs knelt on the ground, raised his head slightly and glanced at him, he was so frightened that he immediately lowered his head, his whole body trembled, and he nodded in fear.

Su Zhengnan understood, ordered Chen Qiming to take a piece of paper and a pen, put them in front of him, and said coldly

"Whatever the Prime Minister asks you, you write on it."

"I ask you, what's your name?"

Liu Hai took the pen, wrote his name on the paper with trembling hands, and looked at Su Zhengnan with a pair of frightened eyes.

"Bangs?"

Su Zhengnan silently read it again and asked again

"What is the purpose of your infiltration into the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"Seeking Wealth"

"Then why did you hurt someone?"

"When I was about to escape, I happened to be bumped into by this girl, so I was so frightened that I cut her with a dagger."

"Is there an accomplice?"

"No, it's just me, I already know it's wrong, don't report it to the official, I don't want to go to jail, I still have a sister I need to take care of, please."

After writing these words, the bangs kept kowtowing, and the man didn't flick his tears when he had tears, he actually cried, which made people feel a little pitiful.

Su Zhengnan nodded silently and said coldly

"Since you are afraid of reporting to the official, you shouldn't do this kind of thing of roosters and dogs, if you don't punish you, everyone is like you, how can the prime minister manage this huge prime minister's mansion?"

When Liu Hai heard this, his face was frightened, he kept kowtowing his head, and blood came out, Su Zhengnan was not moved in the slightest, waved his hand, and said coldly

"Steward Chen took him down and reported to the official."

"Yes, Prime Minister."

When Su Yexi saw this scene, she sneered in her heart, and there was a little sarcasm in her eyes, worthy of being her good father, worthy of Su Zhengnan, for her own fame and reputation, she had no sympathy and compassion at all, no wonder, in the last life her mother died, and he had no sense of sadness, including the inhuman abuse she suffered in the palace, and she didn't see him come forward to say a word for her!

"Steward Chen, wait."

Chen Qiming was about to wait for the bangs to go down, Su Yexi called him in time, Chen Qiming had to stop, if it was before, he only listened to Aunt Gu's orders and ignored this eldest lady, but now that the prime minister and the old lady are here, he has to respect her in front of them.

Chen Qiming bowed his waist and said with a smile

"I wonder what else the eldest lady commands?"

Su Yexi ignored him, Chen Qiming smiled awkwardly, a trace of resentment crossed his eyes, Su Yexi looked at Su Zhengnan and said

"Father, my daughter still has something to ask about this bangs, and I hope my father will answer."

Su Zhengnan nodded and said

"Ask whatever you want."

Su Yexi walked up to the bangs, her eyes shimmered lightly, and she said softly

"Bangs, look up."

Hearing the voice, Liu Hai silently raised his head and looked at Su Yexi, those eyes, as if there was some magic power, were deeply inhaled......

"Bangs, let me ask you, the Prime Minister's Mansion is strictly guarded, how did you get in?"

Bangs thought for a moment and wrote

"Over the wall."

Su Yexi sneered: "Over the wall? That wall is at least five meters high, even I, the prime minister's house, who knows some fists and kicks, is difficult to climb over, you are short, and you don't know martial arts, how did you turn over! ”

Bangs shook his body, held the pen, and refused to put down the pen on the paper, Su Yexi said sharply

"Bangs, you have to think clearly, I'm saving you, if you don't tell the truth, then let you be arrested and put into the government, once you go in, but it's hard to come out, you have to think clearly!"
