"Don't worry, with the master here, it will be fine, let's go, let's go to the Zongren Mansion together."

Facing Hongqing's puzzled eyes, Lao Sixteen didn't explain much, just patted his chest with a big grin, and made a promise with pride.

"Brother Qing'er don't worry, Brother Sixteen is right, let's go, let's go together."

Lao Fifteen also laughed very ****, and cooperated with Lao Sixteen to pull his throat, posing as if he would sell Guan Zi to the end.

Gotcha, what are these two boys doing!

Hongqing and the old fifteen brothers are not a friendship of one or two days, but nearly ten years of harmony, I really haven't heard of the old sixteen and Prince Zhuang can have a good relationship, otherwise, the old sixteen would not have been beaten in the Zongren Mansion to be bedridden, at this time seeing that the little brothers are extremely confident, the doubts in my heart can't help but be a little deeper, but seeing that the little brothers are unwilling to say it clearly, Hongqing is not easy to ask, helpless, so he can only shrug his shoulders indifferently, Let the little brothers huddle around and walk towards the Zongren Mansion.

Zongren's Mansion is on the side of Tiananmen Square, and it will be on the ground when it crosses the square diagonally, at this time, there is no one at the yamen, but there are many officials standing outside the yamen next door and opposite, all of them looking strangely in the direction of Zongrenfu.

"Brother Qing, you and Brother Fifteen are waiting here, and the master will go in first to take care of it."

As soon as Fang arrived at the gate of the Zongren Mansion, the old sixteen immediately left Hongqing, gave a big explanation, and immediately walked towards the yamen.

This kid is so arrogant everywhere!

Not to mention, Hongqing is really a little afraid of the Zongren Mansion, since the old sixteen said so, Hongqing is happy to wait for a while, even if he doesn't have much hope in his heart, it's just a fluke.

"Brother Qing, don't panic, hey, tell you a secret, the sixteenth is going to be passed on to Prince Zhuang, the holy decree will be issued in a few days, with him out of the horse, Prince Zhuang has to give some face, rest assured."

Old Fifteen couldn't bear to see Hongqing's nervousness, so he leaned into Hongqing's ear and muttered in a low voice.

Ah, there is still such a thing? I'll take it, the old man who dares to love has already calculated it, is this just to scare us?

As soon as he heard the old fifteen say this, Hongqing's tense heartstrings were slightly loosened, but when he thought of Prince Zhuang's iron-faced selflessness, he couldn't help but have some drums in his heart, no side, this is a matter of being punished in public, the pain of flesh and skin is still a trivial matter, Hongqing's martial arts practiced since childhood are not in vain, once the "Wuyi Heart Sutra" that is close to Dacheng is enough, it is not very difficult to survive dozens of boards, even if there is an injury, it is definitely not heavy, but I am afraid that I will lose my face.

"Harubaelor, please!"

As soon as the old sixteen went, he didn't come back, but a team leader came out of the yamen with two officials, and there was no nonsense, just waved his hand at Hongqing with an expressionless face and said goodbye.

Damn, this kid is unreliable, yes, even the shadow is gone, I'll take it!

Seeing that the people in the Zongren Mansion had already come forward, but the old sixteen was gone, Hongqing couldn't help muttering in his heart, but no matter how much he muttered, this yamen had to enter, there was no way, Hongqing could only take a deep breath, force himself to suppress the heartbeat, and slowly walked into the yamen.

"Ascension!"

The posture of the trial in the yamen has long been discharged, dozens of officials are holding water and fire sticks, standing in two lines, as for the copywriting office in the middle of the lobby, it is still empty, but Hongqing did not wait long, so he knelt in the hall, but when he heard a shout in the back hall, Prince Zhuang, who was dressed in neat court clothes, had slowly turned out of the back hall.

"Wei ...... Wu ......"

As soon as Prince Zhuang arrived, the officials who were neatly arranged in the hall immediately heard the order, and while exhaling the might, they hit the ground with the water and fire sticks in their hands.

"Who is kneeling in the hall?"

Prince Zhuang sat down expressionlessly, picked up the shocking wood placed in the corner of the copy, slapped it heavily, and broke his throat majestically.

"Dorobel Hongqing knocks on Prince Zhuang."

The case, Hongqing was not tried, but when it was his turn to be tried, even if his heart was calm, his face couldn't help but be slightly pale, but fortunately, the kung fu of nourishing qi was deep enough, but he didn't show too much abnormality, so he just responded calmly.

"What have you committed? Speak! ”

The old sixteen's package ticket was obviously not very reliable, and Prince Zhuang didn't give Hongqing a good face at all, and slapped the shocked wood again, and drank it again.

"Wei ...... Wu ......"

As Prince Zhuang stopped drinking, the officials shouted again, and the sound was like thunder, and a huge pressure instantly forced Hongqing like a mountain.

Grandma is a bear, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, and love is good!

Seeing this posture, Hongqing thought that he couldn't escape this catastrophe, and as soon as his heart was crossed, he simply let go, so he knelt up straight, and replied calmly: "If you return to Prince Zhuang, the kid has visited Uncle Thirteen privately without asking for a decree, and he has indeed been, and he dare not hide it." ”

"Well, what is the matter with your private visit to the Thirteenth Elder Brother? Speak! ”

Prince Zhuang seemed to be very satisfied with Hongqing's attitude of admitting his mistake calmly, and he didn't shoot anymore, but asked in a slightly slower tone.

"So that Prince Zhuang learned that the boy and the thirteenth uncle and even the relatives, he was circled for some reason, and the boy couldn't bear to suffer such a living crime, so he went to visit a few times in private, and then the boy has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he is also quite interested in the art of war, and he is suffering from the guidance of the unknown teacher, and the progress is not much, so he took the opportunity to ask the thirteenth uncle for more benefits, except for these two articles, there is no other intention."

Since it was determined that he could not escape punishment, Hongqing simply generously stated the "reason" for the private visit.

"Oh? It's as simple as that? Why did Naer recommend the Thirteenth Elder Brother to go on an expedition to Dongying, but he had ulterior motives, huh? ”

Prince Zhuang obviously didn't believe Hongqing's words, but when he saw that his eyebrows were raised, his voice coldly pointed out the flaws in Hongqing's words.

"If you return to Prince Zhuang, the kid's move is only out of public intentions, and there is nothing else, because the thirteenth uncle is indeed the only candidate for the expedition to the east, and he will command the armies, and he should be able to win a complete victory.

In the matter of sponsoring the old thirteen, Hongqing certainly has a lot of selfishness, but those secrets are not enough for outsiders, since they can't be brought to the court, Hongqing can only praise the old thirteen very much.

"Is that true?"

Prince Zhuang's face was still flat, and his voice was flat and asked again.

"That's the case, it's not that the kid is exaggerating, if Prince Zhuang doesn't believe it, he will know the bottom line of Nanhaizi's martial arts three days later."

In order to ensure that the old thirteen can successfully win the handsome position, Hongqing has made a lot of preparations in private, not only handed over the general information and data of the new firearms to the old thirteen, but also gave the outline of the naval battle summarized by Sun Mingcheng and others on their trip to Dongying to the old thirteen, as far as the old thirteen's understanding and martial strategy are concerned, a few days of preparation are enough to deal with the assessment of the old man and the pickiness of the ministers.

"Well, since you have confessed your guilt, this king must be dealt with according to the law, and this one, please blame Qing Bellemo."

Prince Zhuang didn't ask any further questions, but reached out and stroked the long beard on his chest, and spoke slowly.

"Yes, boy understands."

Anyway, they are all going to be beaten by the board, and the face has been lost, as for how many hits, Hongqing is too lazy to pay attention to so much, and when he is prepared in his heart, he will answer very neatly.

"Well, Sunny Baylor listens!" Prince Zhuang's face was solemn, he picked up the shocking wood and patted it again, and gave a solemn verdict: "Without a request, he privately visited the thirteenth elder brother who was circled, and the crime should be sat together, Nian Er can know the crime and change his ways, and this king will sentence you to thirty boards, can you accept the sentence?" ”

Grandma is a bear, and she still can't escape this board at the bottom!

As soon as he heard this verdict, Hongqing immediately muttered in his heart, but he didn't raise a defense, but kowtowed respectfully and said, "The kid accepts the verdict." ”

"Well, that's good, you can be virtuous for the country, and you can supervise the manufacture of muskets and artillery, and Yu Sheji also has great merit, this one, this king also has to be rewarded, however, there is a first, this reward will not be given, the merits and demerits are offset, the two are clear, and then go away!"

Just when Hongqing thought that his little buttocks could not be saved, he saw Prince Zhuang reach out and brush the long beard on his chest, the corners of his mouth were raised, revealing a playful smile, and he added another sentence unhurriedly.

"Ah......h

Hongqing didn't expect Prince Zhuang to come to such a hand at all, so he was dumbfounded.

"What? But you're not convinced, huh? ”

Seeing Hongqing stunned on the spot, the smile on the corner of Prince Zhuang's mouth suddenly became a little thicker, his eyebrows raised, and he pretended to be displeased and asked.

"The kid obeys the sentence, the kid retires!"

It's naturally a good thing not to be beaten, no one in the world is willing to beg for a beating, Hongqing is no exception, as soon as he came to his senses, he hurriedly kowtowed, got up and was about to retreat.

"Hahaha......"

Without waiting for Hongqing to stand up straight, a burst of wild laughter had already sounded from the entrance of the back hall, and then he saw the old sixteen triumphantly rushing out of the inside, pointing at Hongqing, laughing straight down, he made such a fuss, the solemn atmosphere in the hall suddenly disappeared, and the officials in the hall couldn't help laughing, even the strict Prince Zhuang also laughed non-stop, laughing so embarrassed that Hongqing was embarrassed, and at the end, he simply laughed aloud......
