Chapter 159: His Crime Deserves Punishment (1st Update)
Half an hour ago.
There was a black shadow jumping quickly on the eaves, and finally landed on the wall of the Jin Palace.
The moment his toes touched the wall, a thick murderous aura suddenly rippled around him, and the man hurriedly said, "It's me." β
The murderous aura retreated silently, as if it had never existed. Ling Qi heard the voice, stepped out of the house, saw the face of the person who came, and said suspiciously, "Monkey? Didn't the master say that you should take someone to protect Master Su? β
Although everyone now knows that Su Jin is a girl, they still habitually call Master Su, as if they feel more cordial.
"Where's the master?" The monkey seemed to be in a hurry, and he raised his feet and rushed into the house, "I have something to see him!" β
"The master has just been summoned into the palace by His Majesty, saying that there is something important to discuss."
"It's over!" When the monkey heard this, he immediately became anxious, and stomped his feet on the spot, "There was a sudden mess on Lord Su's side, and Mrs. Su sent her away!" β
"Huh?" Ling Qi's first reaction was that Liu Xiaofen disagreed and disagreed with the marriage between the master and Su Jin, so he hurriedly spoke, "You hurry up and chase it back?" If you don't succeed, it's okay to let adults live in our house! β
"That's not it!" The monkey waved his hand and walked towards the palace gate again, "Madame has dismissed everyone, I am going to find the master, something big must happen!" β
Inside the Hall of Diligence.
Xiao Yan added another bowl of tea in his hand, watched Xiao Hai drink tea, blocked the big yawn with his wide sleeves, and said softly, "Brother Huang is not in good health these days, if you are sleepy, you can rest." β
"It's okay," Xiao Hai smiled, "It's been a long time since the two of us have spoken like this, and I miss such a warm atmosphere." β
Xiao Yan smiled faintly and lowered his eyes.
The brothers, friends, and brothers in this temple are all illusions, but they are all testing each other's words.
said that it was a heart-to-heart talk, Xiao Hai actually kept beating him, and just now said that he planned to give him Yuandi to govern after he got married.
If it is said to be governance, it is to imply that he will pack up and live there in the future.
Yuandi is remote, the environment is harsh, and the land is barren, and he is afraid that he will leave the political center.
Not to mention that it is not good for the great cause, it is too inconvenient for Su Jin.
How could a weak person like her endure such a hard life? His wife should naturally be loved in the palm of her hand, how can she let her blow such a fierce border wind?
He blew open the tea stalk and looked out the window at the beginning of the day, but he was a little distracted.
It's time for Jin'er to wake up now, right? I wonder what she'll eat this morning, will she sleep until the sun rises?
I will supervise her more in the future, and I can indulge it occasionally, but it is still not good for my health to continue like this for a long time.
Xiao Hai found that Xiao Yan didn't drink the tea, and raised his eyes to look at it suspiciously, but saw that the corners of his lips were looking out the window with a faint smile, and he sneered in his heart.
Xiao Yan is probably still thinking about his fiancΓ©e, right?
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen your fiancΓ©e either," Xiao Hai refilled another glass for himself, "It turns out that I remember that Dong Niangniang seems to have set you Miss Yang?" β
He shook his head, "If it weren't for your insistence, I wouldn't have allowed it." β
Xiao Yan's brows suddenly furrowed.
It is no accident that Xiao Hai mentioned this matter at this time, but he was afraid that he had no deep meaning.
"However, after all, she is the daughter of Xiao Portal, but I am afraid that there will always be some unknown absurd things," Xiao Hai smiled meaningfully, "I'm just afraid that she is not worthy of you, and before she enters the door, you had better think about it again." β
"Brother Huang......" Xiao Yan put down the cup, but before he could say anything, he saw a little eunuch turn around.
"Your Majesty, Lord Meng is back."
Xiao Yan could only be silent.
"Xuan!" Xiao Hai glanced at Xiao Yan, looking a little proud.
However, when Meng Fan came in, Xiao Hai saw the frustration on his face, and his pride immediately turned gloomy.
"How?" He was a little reluctant, leaned over and asked, "Have you caught it?" β
"Your Majesty, the people have run away." Meng Fan's identity is difficult in these words, "but ......"
He secretly glanced at Xiao Yan, who was already frowning on the side, "The Liu family has cut itself. β
Xiao Yan got up.
Liu's! And which Liu's!
"Brother Huang, I just learned something." Xiao Hai saw that he had changed color, so he simply made his words clear, "Master Meng, you can tell me carefully." β
"Yes!" Meng Fan turned his face and said to Xiao Yan, "Your Highness, Su Jin not only deceived Your Majesty by faking her death, but also used her daughter as an official in the court, this matter is bad, but Your Majesty is tolerant, but let Wei Chen take her back, who knew that she actually absconded in fear of crime, and she really ignored Your Majesty's kindness......"
What he was saying, Xiao Yan didn't listen to a word, and looked at Xiao Hai with cold eyes.
Xiao Hai was drinking tea with his head down, when he suddenly felt cold all over his body, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that Xiao Yan's eyes were not good.
He felt a pang in his heart, "Xiao Yan, what are you going to do?" β
"Your Highness! Pay attention to who you are! Meng Fan also spoke at the right time, and the tail note rose, which made the guards at the door immediately alert.
"Don't be rude to Your Majesty!"
This sound full of calculations instantly broke the tense atmosphere in the hall, Xiao Yan lowered his eyes, and said for a long time.
"Brother Huang, what are you going to do with Su Jin?"
Xiao Hai looked at him, and a strange smile rose on the corner of his lips.
"He should be punished for his crimes."
At this moment, Meng Fan also quietly raised his eyes to see Xiao Yan's expression, however, to their surprise, Xiao Yan's face did not have the anger they wanted to see, but was silent and indifferent, and the eyes that were still full of ice just now were unwavering.
Meng Fan frowned.
According to the master's statement, at this time, Xiao Yan should be desperate to rebel for Su Jin, and then they can logically pry Xiao Nanhao to fight with him, both lose, and they will benefit.
But now, this look is really different from what he expected.
"That being the case," Xiao Yan lowered his head, "the younger brother is also responsible. β
"You do." Xiao Hai saw that he softened, squinted his eyes and said, "You can't know people, which has led to today's situation, and I will indeed punish you!" β
He pinched his beard, and there was a look in his eyes that others couldn't understand. "Punish you for a year, and think about it behind closed doors for three months."
Meng Fan chuckled in his heart, raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Hai in disbelief.
Why is His Majesty's punishment so light? The crime of sending it to the door like this should naturally be cut directly by Xiao Yan.
Xiao Hai seemed to be tired, closed his eyes and became drowsy.
"Yes." And Xiao Yan still looked unwavering, bowed and saluted, turned around and retreated.
Meng Fan gritted his teeth, suppressed the doubts and unwillingness in his heart, and had to bow down.
Xiao Yan's steps were very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he left Meng Fan behind, walked outside the palace without looking back, and met a monkey waiting anxiously at the gate of the palace.
"Master!" The monkey's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly caught up, "Master Su, she ......"
"I see." Xiao Yan said coldly, his indifferent appearance made the monkey stunned, "No need to say any more, go home." β
The monkey opened his mouth and watched Xiao Yan board the carriage and sit down, thinking that he might not understand the current situation, so he hurried up and lowered his voice, "Master, now that Lord Su is in critical condition, Da Wei has posted wanted notices everywhere, even if she runs, she will be arrested in just a few days..."
Xiao Yan raised his eyes, and there was a bit of ridicule in his eyes, "So what?" Do you think I should put aside my identity and protect her at all costs? β
This rhetorical question made the monkey unable to say anything.
Master, what do you mean?
He wants to abandon Master Su?
Xiao Yan closed his eyes, "Back home, this king is tired." β
The monkey gritted its teeth and could only retreat silently.
The carriage finally quieted down, and slowly moved on the road of Dawei.
The streets gradually became more and more populous, and the cries of hawking, laughter, and greetings were as usual and the people were not plunged into despair and silence by a fire in the early morning at the Mansion, for for them it was only a distant gossip that could be talked about after dinner.
Such a cheerful voice was carried by the wind into the ears of the silent man in the carriage, and he slowly opened his eyes.
Xiao Yan seemed to be looking at something, but he didn't seem to be looking at anything, and his face was as cold as ice and frost that he had always maintained and rejected people thousands of miles away.
But no one could see it, and in his wide cuffs, the green tendons of his tightly clenched fists bulged, and his fingertips were white and bloodless.
ββ
"Your Excellency!" The attendants of the Criminal Department were a little unable to get down, and turned their heads to look at Meng Fan, "We never have to torture such a child!" β
"What, the people in the Criminal Department should pay attention to kindness?" Meng Fan suddenly wrinkled his eyebrows, "Didn't I understand enough what I said?" This girl is Lu Jun's adopted daughter, she knows everything, if you can't do it, you will be the one who will be whipped for a while! β
"This ....." The jailer looked at Lu Ruyi, who was tied up, and really didn't know how to use this whip soaked in chili pepper water on a child who was not yet ten years old.
"That's it." Xiao Nanhao also felt unbearable, and waved his hand, "After all, she is still a child, what can you know, put her in prison, wait for Lu Jun to be arrested, and then attack him." β
Meng Fan's eyes were dissatisfied.
The girl in the Guogong Mansion has been silent for so long, and now she has fainted, His Majesty Xiao Yan punished lightly, he has nothing to do, Xiao Ze is protected by the Queen Mother, and only Lu Yan can do it, but the person is not in Xuanjing, finally this girl can have some value, even she is not allowed to move at the moment, can't she only watch dryly?
"Your Highness, this child calls Su Jin his mother, maybe he knows some other secrets, if he doesn't torture her, some fish have escaped, what should I do?"
He leaned closer and lowered his voice, "Don't you want to know about Su Jin?" β
Xiao Nanhao's eyes were scorching, staring at Lu Ruyi, who had just been knocked unconscious because of resistance, and his heart fluctuated.
The news he just got that Su Jin was not only alive, but actually ...... Still a woman!
Xiao Nanhao couldn't believe it.
For so many years, the person who has been following him submissively, and can even play with himself to applause, is actually a woman?
For some reason, he was shocked, angry, and even a little joyful.
Xiao Nanhao didn't know what he was happy about, and he felt that this joy appeared inexplicably, but more than he wanted to know why he was happy, he couldn't wait to hear all the news about Su Jin.
But......
He frowned again.
To torture such a weak child, he always felt very cruel.
"There's no hurry." Xiao Nanhao still opened his mouth, "This child is too young, choose a clean and quiet cell, don't frighten her." β
Meng Fan narrowed his eyes, and suddenly had a plan in his heart.
