Chapter 63: The Comer Is Not Good
In the entire hall of the East Palace, a needle drop could be heard, and Wen Qin looked at the old man with white hair and beard in front of him in disbelief.
"Why, uncle? Why do you want to kill Ah Dong? - Ah Dong is also a member of my Wen family! ββIs this Lee Seung's idea? Uncle is trying to protect Li Cheng, right? β
The old man frowned when he heard this, and scolded in a deep voice, "Presumptuous! ββHis Royal Highness Li Cheng is the fifth prince, how can you point fingers? ββWhy don't you quickly apologize to His Royal Highness Li Cheng and admit his mistake?! β
The old man's surname is Wen, his name is Song, he is the uncle of Wen Qin and Wen Dong, and he is also one of the elders in the Wen family.
"This, Elder Wen ......" Fifth Prince Li Cheng coughed and said, "Lord Wen must be a newly bereaved brother, and he is in pain, so he is rude to His Royal Highness and the prince's brother...... There are extenuating circumstances, there are extenuating circumstances......" After speaking, he glanced tentatively at the crown prince Li Wei.
Prince Li Wei nodded to him secretly, and said to Wen Song, "My brother has a point......
Wen Song showed a little shame on his face when he heard this, and said to the two highnesses, "The family education is not strict, so the two highnesses laughed......
"Where, Where, ......"
Looking at Wen Song with cold eyes, the crown prince Li Wei, and the fifth prince Li Cheng saluted, and the anger in Wen Qin's eyes became more and more intense.
Perhaps noticing this, Wen Song turned his head and scolded angrily, "Son, with such a vicious look, you still want to devour people?!" β
Asked by this, Wen Qin's face froze, and he hurriedly lowered his head, arched his hand and said respectfully, "Wen Qin doesn't dare to ......"
Seeing this, the anger on Wen Song's face receded a little, and he looked at Wen Qin for a while, and said in a deep voice, "Ziyuan, this is what you should do as the head of my Wen family...... Clean up the portal! The Ziyuan in his mouth is Wen Qin's expression.
Clean up portal ......
"Not bad!" Under Wen Qin's strange look, Wen Song sat down at the table, looked at Wen Qin and said, "Ziyuan, tell me, over the years, how many opportunities has my Wen family given Zi Shi to reform himself?" But how did the son of a son do it? That son of a scumbag keeps saying that he wants to sever relations with my Wen family, how can it be reasonable! ββIt seems that this kind of literary family is not filial to the descendants, what is the use of keeping him?! - Tell me about it! The Zi Shi in his mouth refers to Wen Qin's younger brother, Wen Dong Wen Zi She.
"I ......" Wen Qin opened his mouth, speechless.
If Xie An was here at this time, he would never have thought that Wen Qin, who was usually so dignified, was so embarrassed now, sweating like pulp, and he couldn't speak.
Probably guessing that Wen Qin might not be convinced, Wen Song sighed slightly and continued, "Ziyuan, Uncle Mo Dao is ruthless, when your two brothers were young, your uncle treated your two brothers as his own...... The elders of the family all said, among the younger generation of my Wen family, your two brothers can be called the best among their generations...... But the elders never thought that Zi Shi would eat inside and out, and call him a brother and brother with the Eighth Emperor Li Xian, don't you know, over the years, Zi Shi has secretly instigated the younger generation of my Wen family to switch to the Eighth Prince Li Xian, but have you done anything? As the head of the family, you turn a deaf ear to this and are indifferent! β
"I ......"
"Ziyuan, think about the support and care of Concubine Chen and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for my Wen family over the years, when my Wen family was in trouble, who broke the siege? Isn't it Concubine Chen? ββEven in recent years, you and that Xun Zheng Xiaoer of Weiwei Temple have been fighting openly and secretly, isn't it Concubine Chen who secretly helps you? ββAs a man, you must understand Entu Bao, since my Wen family has recognized the loyalty of Concubine Chen and His Royal Highness the Prince, how can they be in the morning? ββTell the old man, Wen Dong Wenzi is involved, the blame is self-inflicted, and there is more than enough to die! β
"......" Wen Qin raised his head in shock and looked at Wen Song in disbelief.
"Say!" slapped the table, Wen Song scolded angrily.
Looking at Wen Song dumbfounded, a trace of pain flashed in Wen Qin's eyes, and he lowered his head.
Wen ...... Wen Dong Wen Zi wade, blame ...... The blame is self-inflicted, and there is more than enough death...... Yu Gu ......"
"Teachable!" Wen Song nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, stroked his gray beard with his right hand, and said, "Ziyuan, if you don't want Zi Yuan to die in vain, then implement this matter on the Eighth Emperor Li Xian, and ask him to carry this black cauldron...... As long as the eighth prince Li Xian can be eliminated, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be one step closer to the throne...... Do you know what to do? β
Wen Qin opened his mouth, nodded silently, and said in a low voice, "Wen Qin...... Got it! β
"Excellent! - That Shaoqing Xie An of the Great Prison Temple is just a yellow-haired boy who has not dried up, there is nothing to be afraid of, as long as Xiao Qiu'er insists that the murderer of his father is Li Xian, the evidence is conclusive, even if Xie An has great ability, it is difficult to retract Li Xian's confession! - By the way, you will go to see Xu Zhi, Xu Shangshu, and Chu Xichu University Scholars later, and join forces to put pressure on Na Xie An, and ask him to postpone the case...... That kid is probably here to pay attention to procrastination, and he must not be allowed to succeed! ββ I can't avoid a lot of dreams at night, and I will convict that Li Xian early! ββGot it? β
Wen Qin...... Got it! β
"Good, go ahead!"
Raising his head and glancing at Wen Song, Wen Qin arched his hand, and was about to turn around to leave, when he suddenly saw Wen Song's eyebrows furrowed, and said unhappily, "Stop!" - I haven't met with the two highnesses yet! β
"......" Wen Qin stopped according to his words, turned around and arched his hands towards the crown prince Li Wei and the fifth prince Li Cheng, without saying a word, turned around and left the East Palace.
From beginning to end, Jin Ling'er had been leaning on the pillars of the main hall on the side to watch coldly, and just as Wen Qin turned around, she seemed to notice something and smiled faintly.
Because she noticed that although Wen Qin seemed to be submissive, the forbearant anger in his eyes when he turned his back made people feel cold.
As if noticing Jin Ling'er's inexplicable whisper, Wen Song turned his head and said unhappily, "Why are you laughing?" β
"Hey!" Jin Ling'er pursed her lips and said meaningfully, "Elder Wen, if you force your nephew like this, once your nephew's heart is full of anger, you will be in big trouble......
Wen Song smiled faintly when he heard this, and said indifferently, "There are still some possibilities to say Zi She's words, but Zi Yuan doesn't dare...... From childhood to adulthood, Ziyuan has been well-behaved, and has never done the slightest transgression, and it is precisely because of this that people like the old man who are about to die dare to hand over my great literary family to him! -- The reason for this is that it is incomprehensible to settle down in such a cold door! β
"......" Jin Ling'er's eyes narrowed slightly when she heard this, and a little displeasure arose in her heart.
When the young rabbit is in a hurry, there is still an eagle, not to mention your nephew who holds the power of 20,000 Northern Army?
Once that Wen Qin is in trouble, you will be the first to die!
Old Puff!
Wen Song obviously couldn't guess that Jin Ling'er was secretly cursing him in his heart at the moment, and turned his head to the crown prince Li Wei and said, "Your Royal Highness the prince, the old man sent someone to visit the imperial dining room a few days ago, and learned that His Majesty's food consumption is getting worse and worse...... Your Highness should prepare early! β
"Hmm......" Prince Li Wei nodded when he heard this, then clasped his fists and said gratefully, "This time, thank you Elder Wen for helping my brother relieve the siege......"
"Where, where," Wen Song waved his hand and said lightly, "It seems that Wen Dong is such an unfilial descendant, the elders of my Wen family have long wanted to clean up the portal, this time, that son of a son has finally helped the two highnesses a little, and it is not in vain that my Wen family will raise him Chengren......"
This old horseman is ruthless and ruthless, and he doesn't even let go of his own people...... Jin Ling'er, who was listening, only frowned, she used to yearn for a beautiful family, but now she is extremely disdainful of her.
"By the way, His Royal Highness the Prince," as if thinking of something, Wen Song asked puzzledly, "The old man heard that the Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple has fought against the two Highnesses many times, why don't you eradicate them?" β
"......" as if she had heard something angry, Jin Ling'er's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and she disappeared in a flash.
The crown prince Li Wei didn't pay attention to Jin Ling'er's strange appearance, shook his head when he heard this, frowned and said, "Then Xie An...... It can be said that raising tigers is a problem, even the prince didn't expect that a scholar in Xiaojiufu would climb to such a high position in just over a year...... On the fourth day of the next month, this son will officially marry Liang Qiu Wu, the daughter of the Liang Qiu family, and besides, as far as the prince knows, this son and the demon girl of the eldest grandson family seem to have a marriage date, and I heard that Lu Song, the prince of the southern country, also highly respects him...... Wen Lao, don't underestimate that kid, behind that kid, but I'm the third of the five giants in Jijing! β
Regarding Xie An's matter, in fact, Jin Ling'er is not very clear, and now listening to the explanation of the crown prince Li Wei, she can't help but feel a little surprised in her heart.
The little thief...... Isn't it just the confidant of Li Shou, the Nine Emperor Princes and King of Anping? I can't imagine that there is such a prominent force in Jijing?
Liang Qiuwu has heard of that woman, who is the demon girl of the eldest grandson's family?
Attract bees and butterflies everywhere and hook up with women...... The old lady still misses it at night...... Phew!
The abominable thief ...... - meanwhile, the Great Prison Temple - "Ahh While discussing Li Xian's case with his eldest grandson Xiangyu in the office room, Xie An involuntarily sneezed a few times.
Looking at Xie An's embarrassed appearance, the eldest grandson Xiangyu chuckled and said jokingly, "Oh, hey, whose daughter is Jijing, who is missing the amorous lang of the slave family?" β
I don't know why, since the last time Xie An called those wine girls a few times in front of Liang Qiuwu and the eldest grandson Xiangyu in Baihualou, the eldest grandson Xiangyu has been suspicious of Xie An, but it's no wonder who called Xie An liked to go to that kind of place the most before.
"Nothing! What nonsense? ββDon't you understand the cold? Didn't you have a cold and sneeze a while ago? β
The eldest grandson Xiangyu blushed slightly when he heard this, and said coquettishly, "Whose fault is that?" - Who told you to want to be in that kind of place...... Poor slave family weak female stream, powerless to resist ......"
Seeing that the eldest grandson Xiangyu deliberately showed an aggrieved look, Xie Anxin was angry and funny, and said helplessly, "Who is it?" - Hey, Grandma, you have to speak with your conscience...... Ahh β
Just when Xie An was sneezing repeatedly, [Shadow Snake] Gou Gong and [Wealth Ghost] Qian Xi pushed the door and walked in, seeing Xie An sneezing again and again, Gou Gong hurriedly said to show his loyalty, "My lord, aren't these people working hard and tired of handling cases?" Why don't you mix a few tonic medicines to nourish your body for adults? β
Xie An was stunned when he heard this, and said in surprise, "You still prepare tonics?" β
Gou Gong smiled and said, "Don't you think that your lordship will only play some poisons?" Hehe, in fact, the lowly position had thought about taking the entrance examination to the Tai Hospital before, but unfortunately the threshold of the Tai Hospital is too high, and it seems that it is difficult for such a lowly person to climb high......
Xie An was only dumbfounded when he heard it, and suddenly, his heart moved, and he summoned Gou Gong, whispered a few words in his ear, and then asked later, "This...... Will it? β
Gou Gong smiled, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, my lord, this matter will be handed over to the lowly position, this is a good trick for the lowly position!" ββUnexpectedly, adults are also among my peers! β
"Really? ββIt's not a lie, is it? β
"How dare you be humble?"
The two looked at each other and smiled tacitly.
Watching from the sidelines, the eldest grandson Xiangyu shook her head secretly, although she had never heard it, but looking at the unbearable smiles on Xie An and Gou Gong's faces, the eldest grandson Xiangyu could guess a little bit, and said sarcastically, "A raccoon dog!" -- What kind of crooked idea do you want to harm a woman from a good family? β
Xie An realized that there was still the existence of the eldest grandson Xiangyu in the house, and immediately turned on a straight face and said seriously, "What is this called?" -- This official is discussing a confidential matter with his subordinates...... Ahem, that ...... You've just seen my prison in the Great Prison Temple, right? How is it? ββZhou Yi arranged an errand for you, right? Are you satisfied? β
"Lord Qiqi, I am very satisfied...... No, no, no, thank you for cultivating! Gou Gong bowed respectfully.
Originally, Xie An just asked so casually, but now seeing Gou Gong so happy, he was also a little interested, nodded and said, "In that case, don't let down the trust of this official in you!" By the way, what about Dibu and Mofei? β
"Yes, sir! - Lord Qiqi, among the four of my brothers, the third is not very interested in this kind of thing, and now, he has gone to Jijing for the adults to inquire about the news, as for the eldest brother, what is this......"
"What's going on?" Xie An's eyes showed a little surprise.
"Well, that's the case......" It may be that he has newly recognized Xie An, and he is still a little unfamiliar with him, Gou Gong didn't dare to hide it, and said truthfully, "Just now in the big prison, there are several death row inmates who criticize and insult the new cell boss of my brother and others, so the eldest brother is reasoning with those people......"
"With your fists?" Xie An asked amusedly.
"Uh, ...... with your fists," Gou Gong nodded curtly.
To Gou Gong's surprise, Xie An said disapprerovantly when he heard this, "In this way, well, it's okay, teach the official a good lesson to those guys in the prison!" β
Gou Gong was stunned and asked in surprise, "Aren't you to blame?" β
"Blame?" Xie An chuckled, pouted and said, "If it is according to the official's intentions, I really want to ask the Criminal Department to behead those death row inmates immediately, do you know how many prison guards in my prison temple have been injured by those death row inmates...... It's really ...... to be able to commit murder with chains Alas! β
Hearing Xie An's words, Gou Gong seemed to be reassured for a moment, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, my lord, my eldest brother will definitely clean up those unruly guys and obey them!" β
"That's good," Xie An nodded, and then admonished, "Go back and tell Di Bu, but all the thorns who stir up trouble in the prison will teach the official a hard lesson, by the way, try not to cause trouble!" -- Those death row prisoners have all been filed in the Criminal Department, and many of them will be sent to the Criminal Department to be punished according to the law in the autumn of this year, and they are all outlaws who have given up their surnames, and if one of them is not beaten to death by Di Bu, I will have to explain this matter in writing to the Criminal Department when I go back to my Great Prison Temple, and the procedures will be troublesome! β
"Yes! Obedience! β
Next to her, the eldest grandson Xiangyu saw that Xie An was only chatting with Gou Gong about the official affairs in the Great Prison Temple, and snubbed her, pouted, a little surprised, got up, and said sullenly, "The slave family went back first, anyway, no one will take care of the slave ......family if they stay here."
As soon as Xie An heard it, he knew that this little girl was angry, and hurriedly coaxed, "How is it possible!" ββSister Xiangyu, who made your aunt and grandmother angry? Tell your husband, and your husband will be angry for you! β
"No shame!" The eldest grandson Xiangyu glanced at Xie An angrily, and then, as if she had thought of something, she said, "By the way, there is something that the slave family needs to inform you...... The slave family discussed with the family last night, and the slave family is so unclear with you, unlike words, grandfather means that the two of us will get married early...... The slave family thinks that the third day of the first month of next month is quite good, what do you think? As she spoke, she blinked as if she had a deep meaning.
"First ...... Three? Looking at the eldest grandson Xiangyu and opening his mouth, Xie An vaguely felt that he was being calculated.
Good guy, knowing that she is going to marry Wu on the fourth day of February, this woman wants to marry her on the third day of February, with ill intentions...... Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Xie An said curtly, "This...... A bit of a rush, right? β
Eldest Sun Xiangyu's eyes sank when he heard this, and he said with some taste, "I know that your heart is more towards Sister Wu!" -- It's the fourth day of February! β
Xie An shrank his head in disdain, and then was stunned in his heart, and said strangely, "That's ...... Isn't that a conflict? β
"......" The eldest grandson Xiangyu looked at Xie An angrily, and said weakly, "Okay, you want to ask the slave family and Sister Wu to marry into your Xie family, right?" - This is my father's last bottom line, why don't you talk to him? β
"Uh, this...... Forget it! Xie An scratched his head in embarrassment.
In all fairness, Xie An is still a little afraid of Changsun Jing, the father of Changsun Xiangyu, not that he is afraid of the future father-in-law, but this future father-in-law is too upright and stubborn, and belongs to the type of show talent who meets soldiers and is unreasonable, so Xie An is unwilling to touch the mold!
Moreover, for the eldest grandson Xiangyu, Xie Anxin also felt a little guilty, after all, with the beauty and wisdom of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, she could have married a better husband, such as marrying Li Xianhou as a princess or even a queen, but unfortunately, she chose to marry Xie An, which was already quite aggrieved, and she couldn't even get the title of a main room.
Now that the eldest grandson's family wants Xie An to marry the eldest grandson Xiangyu on the fourth day of the next lunar month, most of them don't want to be a joke for Ji Jing.
Seeing that Xie An didn't mean to object, the eldest grandson Xiangyu said again, "Later, you will tell Sister Wu that the slave family is in her Eastern Army barracks, doesn't there still have a dowry of eight million taels?" β
Before Xie An could speak, Qian Xi, the rich ghost over there, shouted, looked at the eldest grandson Xiangyu with bright eyes, and stammered, "Eight...... Eight...... Eight million taels? Saying that, he ran to the eldest grandson Xiangyu in a few steps, nodded his head, rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "The housemother is above, worshiped by the villain, the villain is called Qian Xi, and he is the best at managing property...... What is the mother's will? The housewife? The housewife? β
Rao is eldest grandson Xiangyu is very wise, and he is also a little inexplicable at this time, looking at Qian Xi in front of him with a smile.
Probably noticing the awkwardness of the atmosphere in the room, Gou Gong coughed and scolded in a low voice, "Fourth, you're tired of living, aren't you?" - Come over to me! β
"No!" Qian Xi shook his head again and again, although he was quite afraid of Gou Gong, but the eldest grandson Xiangyu's huge sum of eight million taels had already hooked his soul, where would he pay attention to Gou Gong's words, this made Gou Gong grit his teeth angrily.
"Qian Xi...... Right? Brother An, when did you recruit a new subordinate? It's interesting! The eldest grandson Xiangyu chuckled, looked at Qian Xi and suddenly asked, "Someone has 3,600 mu of land, and each mu needs to pay rent and silver ten taels per year, and hires 200 tenants, each of whom is ten yuan, asking, how does it cost a year?" β
Under Xie An's breathtaking gaze, Qian Xi's eyes lit up with the abacus in his hand, and after estimating more than ten breaths, he licked his lips and said, "Thirty-six thousand seven hundred and thirty taels!" β
Boy...... This Qian Xi is also quite capable!
Xie An looked at Qian Xi in surprise.
"Interesting...... eldest grandson Xiangyu chuckled, looked back at Xie An and said, "Brother An, you, a subordinate, how many days do you lend to the slave family?" -- Speaking of which, the slave family really lacks a person to take care of the marriage for the slave family! β
Seeing that the eldest grandson Xiangyu seemed to be intent on presiding over the marriage, Qian Xi looked back at Xie An with a happy face, and pleaded repeatedly, "My lord, my lord? β
Looking at Qian Xi's happy expression, Xie Anxin secretly shook his head.
Alas, this is called self-inflicted iniquity, and not living...... Thinking of this, Xie An looked at Qian Xi and nodded, and said as if he had a deep meaning, "Do it yourself!" β
......Seeing Xie An's agreement, Qian Xi should have been overjoyed, but listening to Xie An's words, he faintly felt that there was something bad to do, and he turned his head to look at his own housewife as if he was aware of it, only to see that the fairy-like woman was obviously giggling kindly, but for some reason, Qian Xi vaguely felt a chill on his back.
And at this moment, an official of the Great Prison Temple hurriedly rushed out of the door, bowed to Xie An and said, "Lord Shaoqing, Lord Qingwen of Guanglu Temple, Lord Xu, Master of the Ministry of Officials, and Lord Chu of the Palace Pavilion University ask to see ......."
Xie An was stunned when he heard this, frowned and said, "At this time, what are they doing here?" β
I saw that the official lowered his head and said, "Lord Shaoqing, three adults, please reopen the hall and continue the trial of the case of the drunken murder of the eighth prince Li Xian's master and servant!" β
Renew the trial of the case of the eight princes Li Xian's master and servant who committed murder while drunk?
Li Xian is still in the hospital, how can this be tried?
Glancing at the eldest grandson Xiangyu, Xie An frowned slightly, instinctively feeling that the three of them came together this time, most of them were not good.
(To be continued)
