Chapter 192: The Palace (1)
When the housekeeper ran out, Shen Ji asked on the side: "What should Your Highness do?" ”
He Mian'er didn't turn her head, just stared at the door, and said, "Wait for the prefect to arrive." ”
Xu Yunqing looked at He Mian'er beside him in some surprise, he had never seen her like this, and there was a strange power in her calm eyes.
The prefect was probably in this Golden Valley Garden, and soon came here with the rest of the people. The man in charge of opening the way arrogantly kicked open the door of the box.
"My lord, these are the few people." The housekeeper immediately pointed at He Mian'er and a few people.
The prefect was thin and majestic, and he looked a little official, so he only said coldly: "Arrest it." ”
As soon as these words came out, the man who was in charge of opening the way rushed forward.
"Who dare?!"
He Mian'er pulled out the Shang Fang sword given by the new emperor, and even if the sword was in the dark, it was still shining.
only said loudly, "This sword is given by the current emperor, and it can behead the emperor at the top and punish the ministers at the bottom." ”
After all, it was to strafe the people present: "Seeing this sword is like seeing the Son of Heaven coming, I have a look, who dares to step forward to cut this sword today?" ”
These words calmed down the people who wanted to come forward, and they looked at each other for a while, all of them hesitated, not knowing what to do.
The prefect snorted coldly, and said with disdain: "Where did the hairy boy come from, the hair on his body has not grown, so he dares to use a broken sword to intimidate the prefect, but it is better to go home and look in the mirror and come out again." ”
After that, he waved his big hand and said, "Catch that hairy boy first." ”
Among the people, Yingzi has always practiced martial arts, and the rest are men, and only He Mian'er is the shortest.
But the prefect saw at a glance that He Mian'er was the leader of everyone, and he wanted to capture the thief and capture the king first, and it was best to tie He Mian'er up.
When a few people heard the government's order, they stepped forward quickly, looking at the kid's weakness, it should be easier to catch.
Unexpectedly, just after taking two steps, I saw the figure of the person on the side of the kid move slightly, and between drawing the knife, I only heard a few bells, and the swords in the hands of several people were cut into severed heads.
Several people looked at the weapons in each other's hands in amazement, and they all knew that if this person wanted a few lives, they were afraid that they would not be able to survive just now.
At the moment, I was so scared that I was sweating, and I didn't dare to go any further.
It was Xu Yunqing who made the shot, and there was no doubt about it.
Seeing this, He Mian'er said sharply to the prefect: "You are the prefect, and you are the parent official of the people, but you are like a murderer, and you are a waste of people's lives." ”
Then he stretched out his hand and pointed at the man, "Eiko, tie him up." ”
When the prefect heard this, he was a little panicked, and immediately opened his mouth to reprimand angrily:
"Who are you? I am the prefect of Luoyang Mansion, a dignified court official, and an official of the fourth grade, you dare to tie me up, are you eating the guts of an ambitious leopard? ”
Eiko didn't care about his nonsense at all, and only a few dodges came to him, and pointed a sword at his neck.
The prefect immediately trembled with some fear: "You.... You..."Out of fear, you insult and rebuke, but you dare not say it again.
He Mian'er squinted at him and said, "I am Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the Great Xiao Guotang, and I am on patrol on behalf of today's saints, I wonder if I am qualified to let people tie you up as a four-grade official?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the prefect immediately wilted.
He had just heard that the eldest princess was traveling on behalf of the saint a few days ago, but after all, Her Royal Highness was a woman, how could she come to a place like Jingu Garden for men's enjoyment.
How could he connect the person in front of him with Her Royal Highness the eldest princess?
He Mian'er saw that he was finally no longer hard-mouthed, so Yingzi pressed the prefect and walked all the way to the official mansion.
There are more and more people watching the excitement along the way, after all, everyone knows that the person in front of him who is pressed and doesn't dare to say a word is the one of the tyrants of Luoyang Mansion - Lord Prefect.
The group walked mightily towards the yamen of the official mansion.
There was only one clerk in charge of the paperwork, and when he saw so many people coming in, he was so frightened that he went back to report without looking back.
He Mian'er saw that there were more and more onlookers, and now she said to Shen Ji:
"Trouble Mr. Shen to call the other people in charge of the Yamen of Luoyang City to come out, collect the evidence of this person's evil deeds tonight, and wait until tomorrow, and hand them over to the capital for His Majesty to dispose of."
Shen Ji nodded slightly, and arched his hand: "Listen to orders"
He Mian'er immediately inserted the Shang Fang sword in her hand back into the scabbard and gave it to Shen Jidao: "Tonight, this sword will be held by you, and Yingzi will also be at your disposal." ”
Shen Ji immediately stood up straight, solemnly took the sword, and said, "I will not fail in my mission." ”
He Mian'er got up and walked out.
Since she wants to inspect these nineteen provinces on behalf of the new emperor, she can't show up too much, but she should always keep a low profile.
In this way, these evildoers can be caught off guard.
She deliberately wanted to cultivate Shen Ji in her heart, hoping that he would be able to take charge of himself as soon as possible and become her real right-hand man.
That being the case, it needs to be experienced.
She needs it, and Shen Ji needs it too. That's why she handed over tonight's matter to Shen Ji to deal with.
She trusted Shen Ji to give her a satisfactory answer.
He Mian'er squeezed out of the crowd while it was still unclear. Xu Yunqing immediately followed.
The two of them walked farther and farther away with the crowd on their backs, but He Mian'er secretly regretted it in her heart.
If she had known that there was such a heinous crime in this Golden Valley Garden, she should have saved the woman today.
I don't know if the woman is alive or dead at this moment.
The woman's suppressed cry, the secret cry, the desperate and frightened cry of the woman who was almost executed tonight, all echoed in her mind.
This guilt haunted her and made her regret it in her heart.
Xu Yunqing has been following her closely, and the two of them are getting more and more remote, but they have walked in front of a huge palace.
He Mian'er stopped and looked up at the huge city gate. It was dark and oppressive, and no voice was heard.
In this palace, there is such a strong air pressure rushing to the face, like a sense of oppression, which makes people a little breathless.
It wasn't even a quiet place, but a terrible silence.
It was as if there had been no living people in this place for many years, and not even a bird or insect could be heard.
He Mian'er realized that she was a little scared, and she stepped back, hitting Xu Yunqing's chest.
"Don't be afraid." Xu Yunqing only took her hand and comforted.
It was probably the warmth of Xu Yunqing's palm, which made He Mian'er feel that in his chest, the heart that was beating violently because of fear calmed down again.
"Where is this?"
He Mian'er looked at the black city gate in surprise and asked.
Xu Yunqing clenched her hand for a moment, and looked up at the heavy iron city gate, which seemed to have not been opened for decades.
There were no stars in the sky tonight, only a bright moon hanging in the sky, but it was not as bright and noble as the bright moon.
On the contrary, it was the faint light that added a touch of loneliness and loneliness to this huge palace.
