Chapter 17: The Man Is Gone

If you were to marry me as a concubine, would you be willing? Somehow, after Jiuhuang said that sentence, such a sentence suddenly popped out of Zhao Xuan's mind. This made him think about it for himself, and it was a big shock.

Glancing at Jiuhuang sitting opposite him, Zhao Xuan said, "It's good that the county lord remembers this favor." ”

When the carriage drove outside the Xu Mansion, Jiuhuang did not get off the carriage as in the past, but ordered the carriage to drive to the side door, and then entered the Xu Mansion through the side door for a long time.

Jiuhuang got off the carriage one step ahead of Zhao Xuan, and the housekeeper had already learned of Jiuhuang's order, and after the two ordered the carriage, the housekeeper led Zhao Xuan to the front hall of Xu's mansion.

"Miss, that person has been locked up in the firewood room of the Xu Mansion."

Jiuhuang heard the housekeeper's words and knew that the person he was talking about was Xu Liang, the prefect of Jiangnan who Zhao Xuan ordered someone to send to the Xu Mansion and framed his father-in-law for greedy ink.

Jiuhuang nodded at the housekeeper, and then said, "Madame, how is it?" ”

Ever since Xu Yang was exiled to the border by the emperor's decree, the Ling family had fainted in bed and could not afford to collapse.

The original ruddy face had aged a lot in just a few days, and every time Jiuhuang saw Ling's appearance, his heart was pantothenic.

The housekeeper heard Jiuhuang's question and said, "Madame is still the same as before, she has not eaten a little food.

Hearing the butler's answer, Jiuhuang could only sigh. The Ling family is like this, maybe only by letting his father-in-law wash away the charges on his body as soon as possible can he make the Ling family better.

"It's okay, I'll go see Madame later."

"Have someone bring that person into the antechamber."

Jiuhuang said to the butler.

When the housekeeper heard Jiuhuang's words, he immediately ordered the little servant in the mansion to bring Xu Liang, who was locked in the firewood room, to the front hall.

Not long after, Xu Liang was taken to the front hall by the little guy in the house.

Xu Liang looked at Jiuhuang sitting on the top and Zhao Xuan on the side, although he didn't know who the woman and man above were, but in his father's mouth, and for so many years, he had been inquiring into the Xu Mansion in the capital, and he also knew that he was now in the mansion of Xu Yang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

I heard that Xu Yang had no children and no daughters in his life, and only accepted the widow of the Marquis of Prospect Prefecture as a righteous daughter, this woman was personally named the county lord by the current Queen Mother, and she had a prominent record in the recovery of Batu, and the emperor gave her the title of King Jing and gave her the fief Jingzhou.

Xu Liang also inquired about the portrait of the Nine Phoenixes, so when he saw the Nine Phoenixes on the high seat, Xu Liang knew that the person in front of him was the only woman who had been named the prince since the founding of the Celestial Empire.

Although Jiuhuang Xu Liang knew, Zhao Xuan, who was sitting next to Jiuhuang, Xu Liang didn't know at all.

"Who are you who dare to arrest this official, do you know who this official is?"

Although Xu Yang already knew that the person sitting in front of him was Jiuhuang, he guessed in his heart whether Jiuhuang's purpose in arresting him was that he already knew that Xu Yang's greed for ink was his own ghost; But before Xu Liang could clearly hear the purpose of Jiuhuang's arrest of him, he felt that it was necessary for him to pretend that he didn't know anything.

Jiuhuang has been looking at Xu Liang since he was brought into the front hall by the little girl, and he did not let go of the moment of shock in Xu Liang's eyes when he saw her.

"Who are you? Isn't it just a prefect in Jiangnan! ”

Jiuhuang said disdainfully, judging from Xu Liang's performance, Jiuhuang knew that Xu Liang must know his identity.

"Hmph, I even know that this official is the prefect of Jiangnan, and you still dare to arrest this official, do you know that arresting the imperial court official is a crime to exterminate the nine clans?"

Xu Liang thought that after he said this, even if Jiuhuang didn't shoot, the man sitting next to her should also be afraid.

Although the man is very handsome, as a man, he looks better than a woman, such a person should be the favorite of the sons of those families.

"The prefect, a small five-grade prefect, also dares to say in front of this prince to exterminate the nine clans, do you want to kill my father and kill the emperor? What a big guts, Xu Liang. ”

Zhao Xuan looked at Xu Liang, from his eyes, Zhao Xuan knew that he must know the identity of Jiuhuang, but he pretended not to know here, it seemed that he knew what he was arresting him for.

Xu Liang originally thought that Zhao Xuan was just a son-in-law who seemed to be a certain family at most.

But Zhao Xuan's words made him tremble with fright.

This prince? The man sitting next to Jiuhuang turned out to be the current prince? Xu Liang felt that his back suddenly became cold, and his neck didn't seem to be on his head anymore.

Although Jiuhuang got the will of Emperor Zhao Yun and agreed to overturn the case for Xu Yang; But it has not been found out who is behind the framing of Xu Yang's greed for ink, and I am worried that the mastermind behind the scenes will know what they will do after the case is overturned, so Jiuhuang is now more careful.

Coming out of the palace, Jiuhuang sat at the palace gate and waited for her carriage to go towards the Xu Mansion.

In the carriage, Jiuhuang glanced at Zhao Xuan, who entered her carriage at some point, and said, "Did the third prince not rest well last night or was he too tired to help the emperor deal with state affairs, so he got into the wrong carriage?"

Now the people of the Tiantian Dynasty, who doesn't know who doesn't know, since the third prince Zhao Xuan returned from recovering the border, the emperor Zhao Yun has a heart to cultivate him, and all major affairs in the court will be handed over to Zhao Xuan to deal with, and even let him learn to deal with court affairs with the cabinet.

Looking at the slightly tired look on Zhao Xuan's face, Jiuhuang said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Although Zhao Xuan closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, he had already woken up when Jiuhuang got into the carriage, but he didn't open his eyes.

Now that he heard Jiuhuang's words, Zhao Xuan opened his eyes that were pretending to sleep, and Zhao Xuan, who had just woken up, looked at Jiuhuang with misty eyes, and said in a slightly lazy voice: "Isn't this prince's exhaustion because of you, the county lord?"

The flirtatious tone of Zhao Xuan's words made Jiuhuang frown, and wanted to let Zhao Xuan get off his carriage, but because of her father-in-law, it was indeed thanks to Zhao Xuan's help that she was able to find evidence to overturn the case for her father-in-law.

Zhao Xuan looked at Jiuhuang's face, although he was angry, he was not as hypocritical as other women, and the interest in Zhao Xuan's eyes became more and more interesting.

Although he had little contact with Jiuhuang, Zhao Xuan seemed to have figured out Jiuhuang's emotions and knew that some jokes could be stopped.

Glancing at Jiuhuang's face again, the smile on Zhao Xuan's face was even stronger, and then he only heard him say: "Xu Liang, I have already asked someone to bring it to the Xu Mansion, you will interrogate it as soon as possible, and I will send a few more people over, so as not to let the mastermind behind the scenes get the news and kill people."

Sure enough, Jiuhuang heard Zhao Xuan mention Xu Yang, and the anger that Zhao Xuan was angry with with his flirtatious words just now disappeared.

"Thank you to the three princes for wanting to help, this favor Jiuhuang remembers in his heart, if he has any need for Jiuhuang in the future, Jiuhuang will definitely do his best to help."

"The Prince? The prince forgave the sin, and the subordinate officials had no eyes and failed to recognize the prince's honorable identity. ”

For Xu Liang's behavior, Zhao Xuan just snorted coldly, and then glanced at Jiuhuang, and after eye contact with Jiuhuang, Zhao Xuan said to Xu Liang again: "Say, who instructed you to frame Lord Xu Liang Xu?" ”

Xu Liang, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly heard Zhao Xuan's question, and was shocked, as he expected, Jiuhuang and this prince arrested him from Jiangnan to Shangjing, in order to ask him about Xu Yang.

Thinking about what happened to his father, the position of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu should have been his father's, and it was because of Xu Yang's father that his father was reduced to Jiangnan and became the son-in-law of a merchant household, and he didn't know how much money he spent to buy the current position of the Jiangnan prefect, all of this was because of Xu Yang's father and the Xu family.

Why should Xu Yang be a celebrity next to the emperor, and why should Xu Yang enjoy the good reputation of the loyal ministers of the Xu Mansion for generations, and he Xu Liang is just a small prefect?

Xu conscience has too much unwillingness, and hatred for Xu Mansion to the core. So after hearing Zhao Xuan's question, Xu Liang said in a trembling voice: "Xiaguan doesn't know what the prince said, what Xu Yang and what instructed, Xiaguan doesn't know this, Xiaguan is just a small prefect in Jiangnan." ”

Xu Liang's answer should have been expected by Jiuhuang and the others, and he glanced at Zhao Xuan, and Jiuhuang said loudly: "You don't have to hide it anymore, I know that you know my identity, I also know that you are the Xu family, and I know the contradictions between your father and my grandfather, but why do you want to frame my father?" ”

Because he was Xu Yang's relative, Jiuhuang was actually unwilling to do anything to Xu Liang to hurt him.

She knew that Xu Yang and his wife had no sons and half daughters because of her over the years, and she also knew the regret in the hearts of Xu Yang and his wife.

They are afraid that after they grow old in the future, the Xu family will have no heirs, so they will have no shame to face the ancestors of the Xu family.

Although Xu Liang is a descendant of the Xu family, he is always the backstage of the Xu family.

When Xu Liang heard Jiuhuang's words, his body was shocked. The matter between him and Xu Fu, in addition to his dead father and himself, his only son knows, and even his wife doesn't know, how did Jiuhuang know?

"The county lord of Jiuhuang laughed, Xiaguan is just a small prefect in the south of the Yangtze River, how can it be related to the Shangshu Mansion of the second grade of the official residence?"

Hearing Xu Liang's words, Jiuhuang said, "What benefits did the people behind you give you?" I can do you even greater good. ”

When Xu Liang heard Jiuhuang's words, he couldn't help but say in his heart: What I want is for your Xu family to be wiped out, such a good relationship, can your Xu family give it to me?

Thinking about that person's identity and his commitment to himself, Xu Liang felt in his heart that the day when he would return to Shangjing would not be too far away.

At this time, in the Taishi Mansion, the secret guard cautiously entered the study, looked at Yang Jin, who was closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, and didn't know whether to wake him up or wait for him to wake up.

"What's the matter?"

When the dark guard was still struggling in his heart, Yang Jin's words sounded in his ears, and when the dark guard heard the words, he looked up and saw that Yang Jin had woken up.

"Taishi, Xu Liang is gone? I don't know who took him away. ”

After the dark guard finished speaking, he was waiting for Yang Jin's anger.
