CHAPTER XXIV
The atmosphere in the room was very eerie.
A woman with loose hair knelt at the foot of the hall, and at the head sat a number of people in court clothes.
I looked carefully, Lin Xiangji of the Guangwen Pavilion was sitting at the end of the left-hand side, and in front of her was a man in a scarlet court dress, with two beards and a very majestic look, his eye sockets were sunken, and there was a bit of shrewdness between his eyebrows.
I squinted seriously, my cuffs were pulled hard, and when I looked back, I saw Qin Yangshu sitting on his right hand and gesturing at me.
"Why are you so late?"
Sneakily squatting to Qin Yangshu's side, she turned around, blocked my figure, and said softly: "Everyone is almost here, I thought you had been called in a long time ago." β
I scratched my head and asked, "What do you mean to go in?" β
Qin Yangshu showed a surprised look and said strangely: "What, didn't I call you?" I heard that the members of the Ministry of Labor came in person, and this time they may not want to protect the little son of the Feng family, and the relevant responsible persons have been called to the back room for a small meeting. β
As she spoke, she looked up vigilantly around the corner, and said in a low voice: "Lin Xiangji just came out of the back room, and she can't see anything on her face, she will call you in a while, but don't worry, there is an old body, and he will definitely protect you." β
I hugged Qin Yangshu's thigh gratefully.
After only talking for a while, I heard the whispers all over the world and fell silent.
The sacrificial wine took the lead in stepping out of the back room, and it was the head of each ministry that rushed into the ground behind him, and Qin Liruo walked last.
I haven't seen him for a long time, he has lost a lot of weight, and the bones of his hands hanging down from the sleeves are distinct, which makes me feel guilty.
Feng Dan's also implicated him.
Qin Liruo stood still in the chair in front of me, and immediately sat down, his moon-white robe was spotless, but he secretly handed me a note through the gap in the back of the chair.
"Be careful."
I couldn't understand the meaning of the note, and I was about to ask him, but the familiar voice of the sacrificial wine sounded.
"Assistant Teacher of the Arithmetic Department, Fu Yazi is here?"
"Eh, yes, yes."
Like a shallot seedling in the field, I stood up with a "whoosh" and said yes repeatedly.
The sacrificial wine looked at me with a very irritated look, and I could feel the eyes of the whole room "Boom-" on me, and my heart was a little apprehensive.
The man in court clothes beside Lin Xiangji was very dissatisfied, and put down the cocked Erlang leg hard, making a shocking sound in the silence of the hall.
The sacrificial wine glanced in the direction of this person with concern, and before he could say anything, Qin Yangshu beside me cleared his throat vigorously.
"Ahem, ahemβ"
β......β
The man in court clothes and the sacrificial wine looked at her at the same time, and Qin Yangshu said unhurriedly: "My throat is uncomfortable." β
The sacrificial wine nodded, and hurriedly instructed the attendant to pour tea before turning his gaze to me.
This time, his gaze was not irritable, but became complex and deep, and his gaze wandered on the faces of Qin Yangshu and the man in court clothes, and his expression was unknown.
There was silence in the room for a moment.
I stood in the middle of the room, surrounded by the principals with their own concerns.
They drank tea and blew on their faces one by one, as if this was a tea party, and they smacked their lips in one gulp.
Actually, I wasn't thirsty, I just felt that they were all sitting, but I was the only one who was very uncomfortable.
"Hmm... The tea is almost gone, what do you say about the dog? β
The man in court clothes put down the teacup, leaned on the back of the chair very relaxedly, his high bulging belly was particularly prominent, his hands were lazily placed on the handle, and his index finger was bent and beaten unhurriedly.
I frowned, and secretly matched the number in my heart, it turned out that this person was Feng Dan's father, the upstart of the imperial court - Feng Yuanyang.
The sacrificial wine glanced at me again, secretly looked at Qin Yangshu, who was indifferent, and thought about it: "This matter... The person responsible cannot be let go..."
"Huh? Why is this tea cold? β
Although everyone in the audience was drinking tea calmly, they all pricked up their ears to listen to the conversation between the two of them, but Qin Yangshu suddenly interrupted the words of the sacrificial wine as if he hadn't heard it.
Feng Yuanyang looked at Qin Yangshu and frowned unhappily.
"What's the matter," Qin Yangshu called the attendant in, and said a little arrogantly: "Why did this tea cool after being held for a while, what kind of tea cup did you choose for me?" β
The attendant cowered and bowed blindly to admit his mistake.
"Okay, Dr. Qin, this tea is cold, just change it, why bother with anger."
The sacrificial wine hurriedly came out to play the round, waved his hand, and asked the attendant to go down first.
The attendant was about to retreat if he was amnesty, but Qin Yangshu refused.
"The adult said this, but the old body didn't agree, the tea in this broken teacup is cold, why isn't it strange?"
"Dr. Qin, don't be unreasonable, what does this tea have to do with the tea cup when it is cold, but the weather is getting colder and the tea itself is cold, why blame the tea cup?"
Qin Yangshu stopped talking, and only squinted at the sacrificial wine with an embarrassed look.
I also reacted when I wanted to come to the sacrificial wine, Qin Yangshu was using this to express, what does Feng Dan's mistake have to do with me, why do you want to talk about the person responsible?
But Feng Yuanyang didn't do it, and looked at the sacrificial wine unhappily, his eyes were very dissatisfied.
A dense layer of sweat appeared on the forehead of the sacrificial wine, and he turned his gaze to the woman kneeling in the hall.
"Let's bring Li Yu up first."
It sounded familiar, and I was thinking back to where I had heard it, when the woman with her loose hair had been carried in by the attendant.
The attendant did not pity the jade, and with a vigorous blow, the woman fell to the ground.
Lin Xiangji, who was on the left, quietly opened her eyes.
"Li Yu misbehaved, and he seduces students to behave in the Guozijian, which is really despicable." The sacrificial wine said lightly: "Immediately retired, recorded merit, and never hired." β
"No βββ!!"
The woman suddenly raised her head and shouted heartbreakingly, "I didn't!" β
"Smack-" The sound of the tea cup falling on the table was very crisp, Feng Yuanyang jumped his foot and pointed at the woman and scolded angrily: "You hooves are so cheap, you still don't admit your mistake obediently!" β
Tears fell from her cheeks and hit her parched and pale lips, and her clothes looked a little tattered from the fall. But Li Yu raised her head and looked at Feng Yuanyang, she couldn't care so much.
"Uncle, you know..."
"Shut up, it's okay to have a relationship with me in front of so many adults, phew! You deserve it too! β
Feng Yuanyang took a sip hard, and the spit sprayed on Li Yu's face, she lowered her head with a desperate expression.
And I recognized it the moment she looked up.
Isn't this the woman who lives with Brother Ge Xing?
"Dr. Lin, Dr. Lin, please be fair, don't you know best whether Feng Dan and I are seduced by me or are like-minded!"
Lin Xiangji looked away deeply, completely ignoring Li Yu who was kneeling in front of her.
Li Yu shook Lin Xiangji's legs in despair, delusionally thinking that she would say justice for herself.
"It's not that I don't dare to take responsibility, but I can't bear this stigma!" Li Yu brushed away the hair covering his eyes, and his expression was quite intense: "What about Feng Dan?!" Tell him to come out and confront me! β
"Feng Dan! Feng Dan! Li Yu got up on his own, as if he was crazy and wandering around the house shouting Feng Dan's name.
The sacrificial wine turned her head, and the attendants behind her rushed up and pushed her to the ground.
Li Yu resisted vigorously, and several strong attendants couldn't hold it down.
I stayed aside, Li Yu and Feng Dan were all hearsay, and I didn't know who to believe for a while.
While Li Yu was struggling, a jade pendant fell from her underwear.
The jade pendant rolled several times and finally stopped at my feet.
"Jade Jade Buddha," I picked it up and muttered, "Isn't this Feng Dan's treasure?" β
The tightness of this jade Feng Dan baby, except for showing off when showing off his identity on weekdays, most of the time he wears it closely, and I have only seen it once.
It is said that this jade is the ancestral heirloom of the Feng family, from Feng Yuanyang's grandfather to his father, and now to his precious son.
Feng Yuanyang's face turned black all of a sudden, and he snatched it back, clenched it hard in his palm, and scolded in his mouth: "Sin. Obstruct! β
"Assistant Teacher Fu... Assistant Teacher Fu help me! Li Yu saw that I recognized this jade and hurriedly asked me for help: "This jade is Feng Dan's love object for me, and the two of us have made a private agreement for life. Lead! β
Feng Yuanyang didn't speak, but his cheekbones shook up and down, and the green tendons in his temples burst out, and he was very angry at a glance.
"You dare to steal my Feng family's jade pendant, it's really a good means!"
For a long time, Feng Yuanyang actually held back such a sentence, and even the sacrificial wine looked at him with some surprise.
Li Yu's face turned pale, and he forgot to struggle for a while, and was firmly pressed to the ground by the attendant.
Sweat and tears stuck to her face, mixed with dust and mud, her fists were clenched, her eyes were red, and she seemed to hold back her tears: "I just want to see Feng Dan, just one side." β
"I don't think there's any need for that!" Feng Yuanyang waved his hand, turned to face the sacrificial wine and said, "The sacrificial wine lord has already decided this matter just now, and I don't think everyone has any objections, or just do it!" β
The inquiring eyes of the sacrificial wine looked at the heads of the various departments one by one, and when he saw that everyone was silent, he cleared his throat: "Then let's leave it at that, everyone is tired today, let's disperse early." β
Li Yu's face was tightly clamped to the ground, but she stopped crying.
She was laughing, laughing loudly, laughing wildly, and she didn't care about the big open mouth that was dripping saliva on the ground.
"So that's how I ruined my reputation?"
"Send me back to my hometown and live with infamy on my back? Isn't this forcing me to die? β
Li Yu tried hard to raise her head, her neck was red as if it were bloodshot, and she shouted at us: "If I die, every one of you here will be an executioner!" You've got my blood on your hands! β
At this moment, Li Yu looked like a ghost, suddenly frowning, suddenly smiling, suddenly looking like contemplation, crazy, and mentally abnormal.
A cool breeze blowing in from nowhere, combined with the sight of the eye, gave me goosebumps.
"So, that's it?"
Somehow, I opened my mouth as if I couldn't control myself: "What about Feng Dan, what is his punishment?" β
