It is said that if someone in the court commits an accident, he will directly take the people involved away, which will not affect the progress of the early dynasty at all, but as soon as he heard that this matter involved Xiang Yeqi, Bo Zhaoxu directly stopped the early dynasty and hurried over.

Hearing Bo Zhaoxu calling himself through the courtyard wall, Lord Xie had goosebumps all over his body, and finally walked in hard......

"Minister, minister."

Lord Xie stepped forward with his family member Mrs. Xie, and it was as difficult as sitting on pins and needles.

He was afraid that the atmosphere was too stiff, so he looked around - he saw the peacock that had been sent out coldly, and now it was being choked by the neck by Bo Zhaoxu's men, and it was still fluttering and struggling.

Lord Xie was sure that it was this peacock that frightened the county lord of the Chang Dynasty, and he blamed himself infinitely, but he couldn't help but divert the topic: "What's wrong with the laurel tree in the queen's palace?" Okay, why did you dig it out and lean against the corner. If it blooms in a few months, it should look even better. ”

The silence of no one answering, which proves how boring and inappropriate the topic Xie is looking for.

"Lord Xie thinks that no one in the palace has anything to do, so he will choose such a day to dig out the roots of the tree and put the pestle in the corner of the wall as decoration?"

sneering at Ye Yan, she only felt that what Master Xie said was really a little ridiculous.

Xiang Yeqi asked, "If Lord Xie thinks that my punishment of Ling Qianjin is too harsh and dissatisfied with me, you can settle this account with me, why should you be angry with the unarmed county lord of the Chang Dynasty?" She was the victim of Miss Xie's nonsense, but you still want to use such a method, which is really vicious. ”

The more Lord Xie listened, the more confused he became, why was he angry with Wu Zixi? What victims? What made him extremely vicious?

What the hell did he do?

However, the instinct of being a courtier for many years still made Lord Xie feel serious, and he didn't have to blame Yeqi and Bo Zhaoxu, he himself honestly knelt in front of the two of them, and timidly defended himself: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, the old minister has been conscientious for many years, although he has done something great, but he has never done anything sorry for the court, let alone anything that harms the county lord!" ”

"Nan Chen."

Bo Zhaoxu's eyes were fierce, and he couldn't deny it: "Go and carry the evidence." ”

"Yes."

Nan Chen responded.

It is said to be evidence, but in fact, it is just a wooden block cut in advance by the Chinese guards on the laurel tree, and there are hundreds of needles inserted in this wooden block, which is only less than one percent of the silver needles in the entire laurel tree.

Nan Chen presented this object to Lord Xie's eyes, waiting for him to confess his guilt.

However, Master Xie, who was confused, was still confused, so he scratched his head in confusion and said, "What is so special about this tree and this needle?" ”

"Master Xie, do you want to say that the peacock gift was not given by you? There are 10,000 hidden needles in the tail feathers of this peacock, and if you are not careful, it is enough to take the lives of everyone around the county lord. ”

Xiang Yeqi still held the gift list written by Mrs. Xie in the palace, and the name and surname of the Xie Mansion in the capital were written on the paper, could there be any mistake?

Master Xie blinked in confusion, and after a long time, asked, "No, it didn't hurt anyone, right?" It's the first time I've seen this thing, and I really don't understand what danger it is, it's the minister's sin......"

Bo Zhaoxu frowned: "Only my queen was frightened. ”

Lord Xie didn't know whether to be happy or worried for a while, if he didn't hurt anyone, it meant that he wouldn't be guilty of a death penalty, but he just looked at Bo Zhaoxu's face...... It's enough to slash yourself a thousand times.

Good guy, Xiang Yeqi was just slightly frightened, Bo Zhaoxu's face was already ugly like this, if something really happened, wouldn't it be a good death for him?

Thinking of this, Lord Xie shuddered coldly: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, this is really the first time that the old minister has seen this foreign thing, I thought it was a strange bird for viewing and playing, but I didn't know that this thing still carries a needle!" The sin is really the sin of the old minister, the old minister is willing to admit punishment, and only asks His Majesty to let go of the old minister's family! ”

……

If it was someone else, maybe it would really be because of Lord Xie's sincerity and let this matter be stopped, and he would no longer care about it.

After all, Lord Xie is just a little ignorant.

But this is only limited to people who have never seen a peacock before, and he doesn't know much about this peacock, but he also knows that there are no poisonous needles in the tail feathers of the peacock.

This is man-made.

But......

Master Xie really didn't seem to know that there were hidden needles in this peacock, otherwise he wouldn't dare to casually say anything about his acceptance of punishment even if he had a few lives.

Xiang Yeqi quietly tugged Bo Zhaoxu's sleeve and said in a low voice: "Look at this Lord Xie's tone, I'm afraid there is something hidden in this matter, if he is not prepared at all, it is impossible to do this." ”

That's tens of thousands of poisonous needles, as long as no one is fortified, no matter how many people here, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be spared, if Lord Xie is really determined to do this, then he must be fully prepared, either generously confess his guilt and go to the execution ground with his daughter, or arrange for someone else to rob the prison and escape from the capital with his daughter, or give up Xie Xi and escape with Mrs. Xie alone.

She is not a roundworm in Lord Xie's stomach, and she definitely has no way of knowing what Lord Xie's choice is, but she will definitely not be unprepared to use this method to assassinate the county lord of the Chang Dynasty, and she is still in the dark, waiting to be arrested, and wants to prove her innocence.

Isn't that ridiculous?

Bo Zhaoxu nodded to indicate that he knew, and then asked Lord Xie: "Lord Xie, where did you find this thing?" ”

"Yes...... It is a gambling house under the name of the Xie family. ”

Master Xie didn't dare to take a breath, and his voice was only the size of a mosquito and a fly: "Actually, the minister had already gotten this thing, and he originally thought that he would raise it in the mansion for a few months, just in time for the birth of the little prince, and he could do a hundred days ceremony, but he never thought that the little girl was confused, and she actually did such a thing, so she simply used it to make amends to the county lord." ”

"How long ago?" Ask Nightshade.

"It's been almost a month. Lao Chen has not been able to find any suitable gifts at that time and sent them to the county lord for 100 days, just happened to meet a Hu businessman in the gambling house to take this thing as a mortgage, Lao Chen saw the novelty of this thing, so he directly spent a lot of money to buy this thing, raised it in his own house! ”

Lord Xie's speech became smaller and smaller, and the confidence to generously confess his sins was gone.

Xiang Yeqi had already adapted to the sound of the sound at the lowest level, but Lord Xie suddenly remembered something, and defended himself: "If Niangniang really doesn't believe it, you can ask the servants in the house, this thing has indeed been in the house for some days!" Although the minister felt sorry for the little girl, he also knew that she had done something wrong, and she should be responsible for what she had done, and she would definitely not want to take someone's life because of such a trivial matter! ”

Looking at it like this, Master Xie is quite reasonable.

Xiang Yeqi and Bo Zhaoxu glanced at each other, and the two of them sensed the suspiciousness in Master Xie's words almost at the same time.

This peacock was bought by Master Xie from a merchant of Hu State.

Xiang Yeyan pondered for a moment and asked, "When Lord Xie traded with the merchant of the Hu Kingdom who sold you this thing, did you think that the merchant of the Hu Kingdom was suspicious?" ”

"I can't think of anything for a while......"

Lord Xie scratched his head in embarrassment, was stabbed by Mrs. Xie, and muttered a few more words in private, before he remembered that there was something wrong.

"The minister remembered that the Hu merchant had put on a big show, saying that this thing was very rare, unless he met a particularly eye-catching master, and he had to gamble on him, otherwise he would never cut this love! But the minister only opened a fairly sparse and ordinary price, and the Hu merchant sold this thing to the minister, and there was no big trouble. But Lao Chen took it as a cover for him to ask for a high price, so he didn't take it too seriously. ”

"I know, Master Xie will take Madame back first."

After saying to the night, Lord Xie finally got up tremblingly and left with his wife, and glanced at the peacock very worriedly.

But it hurt him!

"Ye Yan also thinks there is something wrong with this gambling house?" Bo Zhaoxu asked indifferently.

Xiang Yeqi nodded, and patiently considered: "Yes, Lord Xie's posture of wanting to find gifts for the county lord of the Chang Dynasty is too ostentatious, I'm afraid that someone did these tricks and feet in order to do what he liked, and specially borrowed Lord Xie's hand to send this thing to the county lord of the Chang Dynasty...... I really can't think of a second person in this world who could do such a thing. ”

Self-proclaimed words.

Gu Yanchao probably wanted to explore the reality of Hua Guo, the county lord of the Chang Dynasty, and decided that Xiang Yeqi was most likely looking for someone to fake Wu Zixi, and wanted to find someone to remove this "eye-catching" fake thing.

It's hard for him to think about that.

"Today's Hu people are becoming more and more rampant in Beijing, and this gambling house should also have something to check. The matter was handed over to Nan Chen to investigate. ”

Bo Zhaoxu glanced at Nan Chen and entrusted this responsibility to Nan Chen.

At the end, Xiang Ye's gaze was on Zhaohua's face, who had always been silent.

"Zhaohua girl, I thought about it just now, it's really too dangerous for you to pretend to be the county lord of the Changchao Dynasty, if you are really worried...... Shall I find someone else to do for you? ”

Xiang Yeqi was a little worried about Zhaohua's wrist, although Zhaohua had just agreed to this, but from such a dangerous side, Zhaohua inevitably wanted to change her mind.

Instead of embarrassing people, it is better for her to give Zhaohua a step.

Zhaohua's gaze was even more firm than Fang Cai, she glanced at the little prince in her arms, and said calmly: "The slave maid thought about it, the nickname of the little prince is named after the county lord's title, Changchao." ”

"That's a good name, it's more than enough to be a big name." Xiang Yeqi nodded in agreement, "Zhaohua, you have already seen today's events, don't embarrass yourself." It's dangerous and it's normal for you to have concerns, but I still hope you can put your own thoughts first. ”
