Chapter 708: Old Acquaintances and Old Grievances

Xie Xiang cried out, Xiao Ying smiled, and did not speak harshly.

“…… Then wait for the result from Lou Xiang's side. Feng Ge said lightly, as if he didn't want to look at Xie Xiang again. Xie Xiang's heart tightened, and at this time he finally had some aftertaste.

It turned out that I had misunderstood.

It turned out that Sheffield was self-inflicted from beginning to end.

From beginning to end, Feng Ge didn't look at her much.

It's unacceptable, but it's true. Xie Xiang felt a sense of pathos in his heart.

He has been up and down in officialdom for many years, and he thinks he is a little lucky. But since Emperor Geng pointed out Xie Fei to Feng Ye, everything seems to have changed. All the luck of the Xie family seemed to be scattered overnight.

He simply took one wrong step. Step by step, step by step, step by step.

thought that her daughter would have a good home, but in the end she pushed her daughter into the fire pit. thought that relying on the shallow old relationship between his daughter and Feng Ge, he could make the young emperor open up to the Xie family, but he didn't want to be self-defeating.

Not only did he fail to make Feng Ge open to the Xie family, but he also offended Queen Changning even more. Now Lou Baiyun is going to Xie's house...... Although there is certainly nothing to be found.

No matter how stupid he is, he will not put all his belongings in the treasury of his home.

But the emperor planted the seeds of doubt in his heart, and where would the Xie family go in the future.

There is also the old case of Emperor Geng's 20th year that Lou Baiyun mentioned several times......

The Xie family had a dry mouth and felt hairy in their hearts. He felt that he should continue to express his heart to Feng Ge. Even swears by gambling curses...... As long as Feng Ge can believe him, it is nothing to lose face.

He looked up cautiously, and was met by the young queen's smiling gaze. It seemed that she knew everything he was thinking.

Xie Xiang's heart trembled violently, his voice trembled a little and he said goodbye, and then walked out of the palace with weak hands and feet.

It wasn't until he stood outside the hall and was blown by the cold wind that the fear in Xie Xiang's heart came to his heart.

Changning ...... How could there be such a trembling look.

In the past, Xie Xiang was still his daughter's evaluation of Changning was too subjective, but now he finally understands. Changning met Xie Fei several times before and after, but he really didn't have the same knowledge as Xie Fei. If Changning really didn't plan to let Xie Fei go. I'm afraid my daughter will be gone. Xie Xiang exhaled softly, and fear then hit him instantly.

He regretted it.

He was wrong. He shouldn't have ...... You should not be greedy and end up on the road of no return.

Xilai looked at Xie Xiang from afar, and he had a feeling that something would definitely happen to the Xie family today, and something big would happen.

He used to often see Xie Xiang in and out of Emperor Geng's bedroom. During the reign of Emperor Geng, he relied heavily on this flattering Xie Xiang. It may be that the person is old, and he is sick and in a bad mood.

At this time, listen to something good, even if you know that the other party is open-mouthed, and many words are exaggerated, but Emperor Geng still likes to listen.

So Xie Xiang seemed to have his head tilted back even when he walked in those years. They are not as good as dogs before him. Xilai remembers that once, Xie Xiang entered the palace. He stepped aside with the tea tray, and he didn't know if Emperor Geng was in a bad mood that day, Xie Xiang seemed to be reprimanded.

When passing by him, the surname Xie suddenly became difficult.

Flipped the tea tray in his hand.

Then without saying a word, he greeted a few more feet.

He is cheap, and he has long been used to beating and scolding.

And with his status at the time, he could only bear it silently. The surnamed Xie hit him, and it seemed that he was finally angry. Walk away proudly. Afterwards, he was punished by the chief chamberlain for several more hours.

It was winter, too, and he remembered the snowflakes that night. The snow was falling heavier and heavier, and he knelt there and did not dare to move. Eventually, the snow enveloped him into a snowman.

Although he was lucky not to die, he fell into a foot disease, and every time it snowed on a cloudy day, his leg hurt badly. It's all feng shui in turn, happy to think, God is honest and does not deceive people.

Xilai smiled, and then slowly stepped forward.

Xie Xiang naturally knew that this happy father-in-law, he was a popular man in front of the new emperor, and he didn't know where to get into the eyes of the new emperor. Xie Xiang and the former chief chamberlain have a very close relationship. He often enters the palace and moves around a lot, so he is naturally familiar with some of the palace attendants.

In terms of the chief waiter, he has always been generous.

As for this new chamberlain, Xie Xiang is not familiar with it at all. Recently, he had almost no chance to enter the palace, and seeing that happy father-in-law walking towards him, Xie Xiang calmed down, thinking that the world was as black as a crow.

The Chadian saints naturally want to take advantage of the opportunity to get more oil and water. It is said that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, who knows that one day the emperor will be unhappy, and the position of the chief of the chamberlain will change hands.

Xie Xiang tried to put on a smiling face, but the expression on his face was a little difficult to argue.

Xie Xiang was slightly stunned, and he didn't understand how he offended this happy father-in-law. He stepped forward and saluted respectfully, don't look at them all eunuchs, but they are arrogant. No matter how arrogant he was, he could always smash a crack with silver.

But Xilai didn't say a word, just looked at Xie Xiang coldly.

"Xie Xiangke knows who the minion is?"

"Father-in-law, now the chief attendant in the palace. Now in the entire capital, I'm afraid there is no one who doesn't know his father-in-law. ”

Xilai smiled. "I'm an old acquaintance with adults......

A sentence of old knowledge, straight to mention Xie Xiang with a puzzled face. "Old Knowledge...... Forgive the officials for being stupid. Father-in-law Xi used to ...... such a conversation, and Xie Xiang has long been used to it.

Who hasn't gone from stranger to familiar.

With such an opening remark, he believes that this happy father-in-law will soon show his face.

"In the past, Xie Xiang walked around the minion, always with his head held high. Naturally, I don't know a small chamberlain. ”

"Xigong is serious. Xia Guan used to walk around the palace a lot, but it was not at that time that he formed a fate with Gonggong Xi. People are getting older, and their memory is really poor. I didn't think about it for a while, but I hope my father-in-law will mention it. ”

Xie Xiang's doubts grew in his heart.

He really had no impression of this.

Could it be that there was something else that happened between him and Xilai that he didn't know? "The leg of the slave is the problem that fell at that time. Xie is so prestigious...... For those of us who are slaves, we really beat and scold. With a look from Lord Xie, the housekeeper can hear the strings and know the elegance. You don't have to pay attention to each other, just do things properly. The more Xilai said, the more solemn the expression on Xie Xiang's face became.

He really doesn't remember.

He went to the palace, and there were little chamberlains who had offended him, and he didn't need to take care of it.

There are people who flatter him and get things done for him.

These are also unwritten rules, taking people's money and eliminating disasters from people, which is similar to buying and selling.

Could it be that this Laixi has also experienced something like that? If that's really the case...... Xie Xiang's legs trembled a little.

That Xie family is really a house leak, and it is raining, and God is going to die Xie family.

"Could it be that when the lower officials don't know...... Someone pretended to be an official and had a disagreement with his father-in-law? ”

Xilai sneered in his heart.

Some people never know to wake up? When encountering problems, they habitually prevaricate. In his name?

"No one pretends. My lord is really a noble man who forgets things...... Twenty years of Emperor Geng...... Winter ......"

Xilai slowly opened his mouth, and Xie Xiang sighed in his heart. The words of Emperor Geng's twenty years made him feel furious. He wanted to escape, but he couldn't.

I can only try my best to listen to the words of Xilai in my ears with a numb scalp. Happily, in the winter of the twentieth year of Emperor Geng, the evening of the first snow.

He and Xie Xiang had a "fate". He said he was so innocent that he didn't even know what he was doing wrong. was slapped a few times. This was not enough, and after the man left, the chief chamberlain punished him again indiscriminately. That's when his leg disease fell.

With Xilai's words, Xie Xiang gradually recalled something in his mind.

Emperor Geng scolded him that day, and the scolding was very ugly.

He said that he was just a dog, barking and biting anyone who should listen to his master. In fact, Emperor Geng didn't say anything like this. It's just that at that time, he was a close minister of Emperor Geng, and Emperor Geng was polite to him most of the time.

All of a sudden, it was difficult, and it wasn't his fault.

He was completely enraged.

was scolded and he was in a bad mood. When he left the palace, he seemed to see a small chamberlain dodging from afar.

The waiter was very disciplined. But he hated the word rules the most at that time.

So he found an excuse and slapped the little chamberlain a few times. Emperor Geng was angry with him, and he was angry with a little chamberlain he didn't know.

The little chamberlain kept his head down, and he didn't even notice the waiter's appearance.

Don't...... The little chamberlain that night was this happy father-in-law. Thinking of this possibility, Xie Xiangmeng took a breath of cold air. "Xiaguan, Xiaguan was unintentional that day......" "Intentionally or unintentionally, it's not interesting to pursue it now." The minion just wanted to tell Master Xie...... Heaven is a good reincarnation. After saying this, he smiled and turned sideways, making way for Xie Xiang like he did that night.

Xie Xiang couldn't move this time no matter what.

"Hello father-in-law...... What does the father-in-law want? As long as the public is open, the lower officials must do the proper work for the public officials. Just ask for your father-in-law, and raise your noble hand. ”

Xilai stepped forward to do what Xie Xiang already knew.

He's here to collect debts. Just when the Xie family was in decline, Xilai, a eunuch, added fuel to the fire.

But in the current situation, he can only swallow his anger, and the top priority is to appease Xilai. At least don't let Xilai stumble on him behind his back.

"Master Xie misunderstood, the slave really just stepped forward to say hello. Is Lord Xie going out of the palace? The minions sent someone to guide Master Xie...... I believe it won't be too long for the minions to see Master Xie again. Xilai said respectfully, and recruited a little eunuch to step forward and ask him to lead the way for Xie Xiang.

Then he bowed slightly, and then walked away without shaking his head.

Xie Xiangqi trembled. Xilai was almost cursing him.

Xie Xiangben wanted to vent his anger on the little eunuch as he had done in the past, but he raised his hand and suddenly remembered the night of Emperor Geng's twentieth winter.

He only slapped the chamberlain a few times, but he made such a mortal enemy for himself.

He put down his hand hatefully, and coldly reprimanded the little eunuch for leading the way. The little eunuch shrunk his neck and obediently led the way.

Happy to see Feng Ge and Xiao Ying.

In the winter of Emperor Geng's twentieth year, he vaguely listened to Emperor Geng's words of Xie Xiang that night.

“…… Your Majesty, Mother. The minions didn't mean to hide it, but it was really a rehash of the old thing, and I am afraid it would be another turmoil. The expression on the young emperor's face remained unchanged, as if he had thought of it a long time ago, and Xilai sighed lightly, and then slowly spoke.

At that time, he occasionally went in and out of Emperor Geng's dormitory.

The surname Xie beat him that night, in fact, he didn't hate the surname Xie very much, in the happy view, although the surname Xie is the prime minister, and the life is not as good as a dog.

The dog wagged its tail at its master. The dog listens only to his master. Unlike the surname Xie, the master hides it here, and the benefactor coaxes it all and eats it all.

That day, the first emperor was furious and reprimanded Xie Xiang for not doing things well. The first emperor seemed to secretly ask Xie Xiang to do something, but Xie Xiang not only failed to do it, but also caused public resentment. As for what it is, the minions really don't know. Today, Lou Xiang brought up the old case of Emperor Geng for 20 years. The slave remembered these old things, and it was after that that that there were rumors among the people. It is said that it was because of Lord Xie's dereliction of duty, so that the victims were born. It is also said that in one place, hundreds of victims froze to death in one night.

As for whether it is true or not. In the end, there is no definite number. ”

Xiao Ying frowned slightly.

"You mean, the first emperor knew?"

"Naturally. There are courtiers on the fold. The first emperor should have ordered a thorough investigation. But the first emperor gently lifted it. only reprimanded Diao Min in the court. ”

Some people reported that Xie Xiang was corrupt and perverted the law, and even disregarded people's lives. However, it is nonsense that Emperor Geng directly reprimanded him in the early dynasty, not only that, but Emperor Geng seems to blame those people for this.

"Afterwards, no one mentioned it again?"

"Back to my mother. Uninhabited...... Who dares to mention it. The first emperor expressed it very clearly in the palace. He didn't want to look down, as for whether Xie Xiang had really done those things...... Did you really die? How many died? Where to die? It's always been a mystery. The 20-year-old case of Emperor Geng mentioned by Lou Xiang is this case. ”

Hundreds of people.

Starve? Freeze to death? I don't know the place, I don't know the specific number of people, there is no antecedent, no consequence. Only Emperor Geng in the palace said a word to the people.

Xiao Ying really couldn't understand, how could such a thing happen?

Even if Emperor Geng relied on Xie Xiang, such a big case, he should send someone to investigate it to reassure the people.

But Emperor Geng exposed it so lightly, and also issued a gag order. It is strictly forbidden to mention it again.

Today, Lou Baiyun brings up the old things again, I am afraid that it is a temptation, but also because he is really angry in his heart.

After the matter was over, Xilai retired. He didn't mention his old grudge against Xie Xiang. He thought that this was very good, so he let the surnamed Xie always think about it, knowing that there was someone who didn't want to look for his bad luck all the time.

Xiao Ying and Feng Ge returned to the Sakura Song Academy.

After washing, Feng Ge personally wiped Xiao Ying's half-dried hair.

In the bronze mirror, the girl's pretty face was slightly red, and behind the girl, the man wiped the girl's hair seriously.

It's not like the emperor and queen, but like an ordinary couple.

Xiao Ying liked this feeling very much, and they were in love with each other, as if they were already old husbands and wives.

"Emperor Geng's 20-year-old case...... There is something strange about this case. If someone is really dead, it should be investigated, and if Emperor Geng really has the heart to protect the surname Xie, he can find someone to take the blame for him. How could Emperor Geng directly reprimand the word 'Diao Min' in the early dynasty. ”

"This gag order should be very harsh. So the case was just a flash in the pan. If it weren't for Lou Baiyun's rehashing of the old matter, I'm afraid many people wouldn't remember it. ”
