A cold cry resounded throughout the hall, Fu Hong's eyes swept coldly, and Xu Lin immediately shut up.

No matter how big an official he is, the wrath of the Son of Heaven is not something he can bear.

"Who else could this be Duan Ning?" Fu Hong pointed to the person kneeling on the ground, and his angry voice resounded throughout the hall, "Now that the human and material evidence is there, it's time to fulfill the promise." ”

"Your Majesty!" Bao Qisun roared weakly.

"The two adults are both seniors who have been in the officialdom for many years, and they haven't understood this rule for so many years, right?"

At this time, Sinan stepped forward with a smile, and his crisp and pleasant voice was slow, "I am willing to gamble and lose, what is important is integrity, I believe that the two adults have been in the officialdom for so many years, and they don't need me to remind a little woman, right?" ”

As soon as Sinan's words came out, Bao Qisun and Xu Lin's faces suddenly became darker than the bottom of the pot, it was difficult to see the extreme, is the meaning of these words still unclear, the implication is that if you don't pay the price, you will rely on the old and sell the old, not only to lose your own face, but also to lose the face of the court!

Bao Qisun and Xu Lin secretly gritted their teeth, their faces darkened a degree, and finally Xu Lin relieved his mouth first, and said with difficulty: "Okay, Master Bao and I are willing to admit to taking over the post of prime minister, and there are ...... The official position was demoted by three levels. ”

Xu Lin almost gritted his teeth and said this, the former was fine, but the demotion was ......

God knows how difficult it is to be promoted to an official position, how much credit it takes, how much sycophants it takes, and how many years it takes to get it.

As soon as Xu Lin's words came out, the hall instantly quieted down, but those seemingly innocent eyes never left the two of them, these eyes were either ridiculed or sarcastic, in short, they fell into the ground.

Officialdom is like this, the wall falls down and everyone pushes it.

Bao Qisun was also unwilling, this investigation was carried out by him with Xu Lin from beginning to end, they knew each other well, this Si Nan must have done something, but he couldn't find a flaw.

Xu Lin secretly pinched Bao Qisun's hand, signaling him not to be impulsive, and at the same time bowed deeply to Fu Hong, and said humbly: "Your Majesty, this matter is that the minister has not thought it through, the minister is willing to accept the punishment, and the minister is willing to demote himself to three levels, so the minister will retire first!" ”

If there is a hole in the ground here, Xu Lin can't get into it and never come out again, he has been an official for so many years, and it is the first time he has lost such an adult, and he was tricked by a little girl, and it is a shame to say it!

After speaking, Xu Lin and Bao Qisun were about to leave, but before they could take two steps, they heard Sinan's voice coming from behind.

"What are the two adults in a hurry to leave?" Sinan's light voice sounded from behind, the voice was a little interesting and provocative, and said coldly: "These are just two of them, have the adults forgotten anything, ah?" ”

The two of them paused, Xu Lin subconsciously clenched his fists, if it wasn't for the court, he really wanted to go up and beat Sinan.

He turned around slowly, his voice hoarse and difficult: "I don't know what else is going on?" ”

"Do you really don't know, or do you pretend not to know?" Sinan had something to say, but Fu Hong didn't stop her, but let her say: "Have the two adults forgotten the promise just now, if Duan Ning and I are really two people, we have to apologize to the Duan family for what we said." ”

Humiliation, in addition to humiliation or humiliation, Xu Lin has never felt so humiliated in his life, he was actually in front of the Chinese military officials, being endangered by a little girl and a half!

"Sinan, don't deceive people too much!" Bao Qisun finally couldn't help it, took a step forward, pointed at Sinan with a red face and scolded: "How can we be regarded as seniors, this is how we treat seniors?" Have a little respect! ”

"Master Bao!"

Xu Lin hated Tie Cheng and looked at him, and sure enough, he responded to that sentence - not afraid of god-like opponents, but afraid of pig-like teammates.

"Master Xu, don't stop me, I'm going to teach her how to be a person today!"

Saying that, Bao Qisun tore Xu Lin's hand away, strode forward and said: "I just suspected the Duan family and the joint deception, and I didn't say anything that they must have done it, and for this matter, Lord Xu and I spent a lot of money to hire killers to infiltrate the Duan family, and we didn't find Duan Ning at all!" ……”

"Bao Qisun!"

"Shut up!"

Xu Lin and Fu Hong drank hard before and after to make Bao Qisun calm down a little, he covered his mouth suddenly, and suddenly felt five thunders bang - he ...... What did he say!?

"Your Majesty, Your Minister...... I don't mean that, I ......."

Bao Qisun still wanted to quibble about something, but when he saw the emperor on the seat frowning slightly and his eyes cold, he was so frightened that he couldn't say anything.

"The guy who has not achieved enough things and has more than enough failures!" Xu Lin secretly gritted his teeth and said, glared at Bao Qisun fiercely, and then stepped forward and bowed, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this matter is all planned by Lord Bao, and it has nothing to do with the ministers, please also ask the emperor to learn clearly!" ”

Now he doesn't want to care about this pig-like teammate anymore, so he simply straightens out the relationship and protects himself.

"Lord Xu, how can this be!" Bao Qisun looked at Xu Lin angrily and accused: "We did this together, how can Lord Xu pick up everything now, where is this putting me!" ”

Xu Lin was really speechless, he simply chose not to look at Bao Qisun, he really regrets it in his heart now, why was he blind in the first place and found this kind of person as a teammate? !

"Your Majesty, the minister guarantees with his own life, this matter really has nothing to do with me, please Emperor Mingjian!"

Fu Hong looked at the two of them with heavy eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and the other ministers were more in a state of watching jokes, you must know that these two are absolutely powerful bigwig-level figures in the court, and they usually pressed them in the officialdom, and some people have long looked at them unpleasantly, and now the two are quarreling, and they are in their hearts.

"Enough, don't make any noise!" As soon as Fu Hong slapped the table, he was angry, and the hall was as quiet as a chicken in an instant, and everyone didn't even dare to breathe.

Fu Hong's face was even worse, his voice was gloomy, and he said coldly: "No matter who did the matter of sending a killer to infiltrate the National Teacher's Mansion, but this matter is inseparable from the two of us, and no one wants to catch a glimpse of it!" ”

The atmosphere in the court is gloomy, Fu Hong has been in a strange mood for a long time, if this matter is out of someone else, it is fine, but it is Duan Qirui's family, you must know that his head has always been good, and the position of national teacher is not in vain, not only mastering many military secrets of the Great Liang State, but also Fu Hong's right-hand man at a critical time. It's good that Duan Qirui is not here now, if he is there, he will definitely be angry, and then he will ...... It's not easy to do.

is a comparison between the two, of course Fu Hong selected Duan Qirui, if he wants to calm the anger in his heart, he must severely punish the two.

"Come on, the will!" Fu Hong snorted, looked at the two people who were kneeling on the ground trembling with sharp and serious eyes, and said decisively: "Spread my will, Bao Qisun and Xu Lin, for the official impropriety, sneaked into the National Teacher's Mansion without authorization, slandered others, did not repent, should have been severely punished, but Nian had made meritorious service for Daliang, opened the net, the official was demoted to three ranks, fined Yu Lu for one year, suspended at home, without my permission, not allowed to go to the court!" ”

As soon as Fu Hong's words fell, a sound of gasping suddenly sounded above the hall, which ...... It's too ruthless.

The official rank was demoted by three levels, not to mention the fine, and he was suspended, and he could only come back with the permission of the emperor, what is the difference between this and being demoted back to his hometown.

You must know that the change of generation in the court is even faster, and the officials behind them are desperately crawling forward, and they refuse to ask for leave even when they are sick, unless they are really capable of extraordinary ability, otherwise once suspended, it is almost impossible for the emperor to think of this person again.

Even if it was possible to come back, what could it do?

Xu Lin and Bao Qisun were stunned for a long time, and only reacted after a while, but even if they were unwilling in their hearts, what could they do, this is a holy decree, if they don't accept it, they will resist the decree and not obey it, and they will be a dead end.

In just one morning, the humerus ministers of the imperial court, who were originally high, have now become so gray that many officials have not reacted.

Everyone has a consideration in their hearts, Xu Lin and Bao Qisun sent people to infiltrate Duan's mansion, and the emperor was angry and punished the two of them so heavily, which shows the weight of Duan Qirui in the emperor's heart.

But scheming people will find that Fu Hong did not punish the two of them only in front of Duan Qirui, before that, Fu Hong knew in his heart that the two were disrespectful to the Duan family, but he was not very angry at the time, so why should he be severely punished now?

The reason for this is very intriguing......

Above the main hall, the officials had their own concerns, only Sinan looked at the two with interest, and just as they were about to get up and leave, she slowly opened her mouth.

"The two adults stay, and the courtiers still have something to say." Sinan stepped forward slowly, ignoring the angry and resentful expressions of the two, and went straight to Fu Hong and bowed respectfully.

"Your Majesty, the night before the courtiers went to the Void Realm, several killers sneaked into Si's house and wanted to kill me."

Sinan's voice paused, she glanced at it quietly, Bao Qisun's face was not very good, and sweat kept breaking out on his pale face.

She silently hooked the corners of her lips and continued: "This person is extremely ruthless, and his moves are all aimed at my life, but fortunately, I also had guards by my side at that time, so I was not injured, and the courtiers captured the leader of the killer alive, and also wanted the emperor to call the shots and arrest the person who wanted to put me to death." ”

"That's for sure." Fu Hong glanced at Xu Lin and Bao Qisun, and his voice was full of majesty: "Bring someone up!" ”

"Yes." Sinan smiled, and turned around to tell the eunuch who was talking in the palace.

At this time, Bao Qisun was already sweating, his head was hanging down, his hands were constantly rubbing, and he was so nervous that he didn't even dare to look at him.

Xu Lin glanced at him, there was no half wave in his heart, a person like him deserved it!
