There are more and more people in front of the palace in the north of the town, and the street can't be crowded to watch from the upper floors of the restaurant not far away.

Although the people did not dare to argue with the officials, Zhong Zhuoyu stood at the top of public opinion, and the confidence in his heart was much more.

Xiao Zhiqing was about to have a seizure, and his hand pointing at Zhong Zhiyu was pressed down, the skin was cold, and the force was neither light nor heavy, but it was accurately pressed on the place where he was hit by the scabbard of the star scissors before, and the pain made his hand tremble.

"Bold!" Xiao Zhiqing withdrew his hand, turned his head and scolded, but saw that the person who came was Xiao Li's father-in-law next to the emperor.

Xiao Li's father-in-law was just passing a decree to come back with the army, but when he saw that Xiao Zhiqing took out the holy decree, he knew in his heart that something had happened to the emperor.

In this situation, it is really inconvenient for me, the person who represents the emperor, to speak out, but as a person close to the emperor, I naturally know a little or two of the emperor's thoughts, and I saw that Xiao Zhiqing was too presumptuous, so he came forward.

"I've seen Lord Xiao." Xiao Li's father-in-law said with a smile, and gave Xiao Zhiqing a solid salute.

Xiao Zhiqing didn't dare to stand it, so he hurriedly eased his face and turned sideways, and gave Xiao Li's father-in-law a half-salute, and confessed again and again: "It's Xiao who has no form and mistakenly speaks ill of his father-in-law, Xiao feels guilty in his heart, and he really can't stand this gift from his father-in-law." ”

"Lord Xiao is polite, he is just a minion below, why should Lord Xiao be treated like this."

"What did the father-in-law say, who in the court didn't know that the emperor valued Father-in-law Xiao Li very much, and Father-in-law Xiao Li had a bright future in the future."

The smile on Xiao Li's father-in-law remained unchanged, but his eyes were like a water and a dark tale, and he said meaningfully: "Lord Xiao is so polite to a slave who has no rank, how can he be so rude to the county lord?" ”

Zhong Yuyu raised his eyebrows, saw Xiao Zhiqing's suddenly changed face, and sneered: "Doesn't this make it clear that you look down on me as a county lord!" ”

"Don't provoke the county lord, the minister believes that Xiao Li's father-in-law has his own judgment in his heart."

Xiao Zhiqing will give Xiao Li's father-in-law face like this, but because he really has a bad attitude, and Xiao Li's father-in-law is the emperor's person, if he tells the emperor about this, no matter whether he does this well or not, the impression in the emperor's heart must be bad.

So Xiao Zhiqing tried to remedy it and said politely to Zhong Zhiyu: "Everyone is doing things, why should the county lord be embarrassed, no matter who comes today and says anything, this He Yu must enter my Dali Temple." ”

"Really?"

Someone in the crowd retorted, and although the voice was soft, it was unusually clear in this place where everyone was silent.

Everyone looked at the source of the sound, only to see Liu Chengxuan helping Liu Zhiyin to walk slowly, squeezing his eyes at Qin Bairui with a smug face: "I'll bring you rescuers!" ”

"Lord Liu!"

Xiao Zhiqing's attitude was more respectful than just now, and he immediately stepped forward and gave Liu Zhiyin a big salute: "Why is Lord Liu here?" ”

"If I don't come, I won't be able to see you bullying the county lord like this!"

This was said seriously, Xiao Zhiqing hurriedly retorted when he heard it: "What is Lord Liu, what are you talking about, you are just doing things impartially, how can you bully me?" ”

Liu Zhiyin pointed to the officials of Dali Temple, who were still facing each other with the Tianzi saber, and said bitterly: "This is not called bullying? The bones of the king of Zhenbei are not cold, and you point knives at his daughters and brothers? ”

“……”

Xiao Zhiqing turned his head, looked at his subordinates who were still stupid and clinging to weapons, and scolded a group of people who had no eyesight, and asked them to withdraw quickly.

"Lord Liu, the lower officials are really anxious to do things, but the lower officials are also ordered to arrest the Qin criminals, and the county lord does not cooperate, so the lower officials can only make this decision."

Liu Zhiyin's gaze turned to Zhong Zhiyu next to him, as if he wanted her to speak.

Zhong Zhuyu neatly took off the burden on his back just now, and picked up the spiritual seat of the king of Zhenbei from it, with a sad face: "My father fought on the battlefield for the sake of Dayu, and the horse leather shrouded him, and now Lord Xiao has come up and wants to take people for no reason, how can we be willing?" What's more, He Yu was seriously injured and comatose at this time, what could he do if he went to Dali Temple? ”

"Lord Xiao, look at what you have bullied other little girls!" Qin Bairui clutched his chest and shouted with a painful face: "How can you bear to face such a little girl with a sword? ”

"This ......"

Xiao Zhiqing wanted to scold, but Xiao Li's father-in-law and Liu Zhiyin were there, so he couldn't scold.

So everyone saw him, "This... This... This one was speechless.

"Look, Lord Xiao is at a loss!" Qin Bairui closed his palms with a malicious smile in his eyes.

"Oh~ It turns out that Lord Xiao still knows how to lose!" Zhong Zhiyu echoed him.

The two sang and harmonized, making Xiao Zhiqing's face flushed.

Liu Zhiyin pretended to be invisible, and said to him earnestly: "Since He Yudu is seriously injured and unconscious, why do you still want to arrest him?" ”

"This is what the emperor meant......"

"The emperor means that you Dali Temple will ask him to ask questions, to explore the truth, people can't wake up and ask something, if I were you, I would report the matter to the emperor first, and then make a decision."

This is to make it clear that He Yu must be protected.

Xiao Zhiqing was sweating on his back, his hands were clenched into fists, and his nails were so deep that they sank into the flesh.

After a long time, he smiled and said, "It's Xiao who is reckless, I hope the county lord won't be surprised." ”

Saying that, he saluted Liu Zhiyin and Xiao Li's father-in-law again, and called the people from Dali Temple to leave, looking at the direction, they went directly to the palace.

Liu Zhiyin looked at his back and shook his head.

It's still too tender, and it's too high-spirited to take on big responsibilities.

The troublemakers left, and the coffin of King Zhenbei was finally put into the mourning hall that had been prepared a long time ago, and Zhong Zhuoyu respectfully put away the spiritual position card that he had carried all the way, and bowed deeply with Qin Bairui.

Liu Zhiyin was still supported by Liu Chengxuan, standing behind Zhong Zhiyu, raising his head and looking at the spiritual seat of the king of Zhenbei, with a face full of nostalgia.

"I've been a colleague with your dad for decades."

When Zhong Xiyu saw that he began to speak, he turned sideways, gave him the main seat, stood aside, bowed slightly, and listened attentively with a full face.

"The emperor has a lot of courtiers around him, but he trusts the three of us the most."

"I came up for the merit test, but I was the champion back then!" Liu Zhiyin recalled that year, and laughed: "Later, Yongnian made great achievements in the war, rose higher and higher, and went to the court, and we gradually became acquainted." And because they are all grass people, I can't get used to the appearance of Zhang Guanhai entering the court with a relationship when he was a teenager, and we also made a stumbling block for him. ”

Qin Bairui quietly explained to Zhong Shuyu on the side: "Zhang Guanhai is the current prime minister. ”

Liu Zhiyin didn't care about their whispers, and continued to say to himself: "Later, I found out that although Zhang Guanhai was young, he knew the subtleties and thought about them thoroughly, and he did have a few brushes, so he let go of his prejudices. ”

"The three of us, one civilian, one martial and one powerful minister, are more and more relied on by the emperor, as if we have the power to lead hundreds of officials, but we don't want your father to go first."

Speaking of this, Liu Zhiyin sighed for a long time, as if he had spit out the turbidity of half his life, and his heart was melancholy: "The emperor often said that in troubled times, it is the luck of being the emperor to get the king of the north, and Dayu must not live without him." ”

Zhong Zhiyu's eyes flashed with light, and he bowed to Liu Zhiyin sincerely: "Thank you Lord Liu for mentioning it." ”

Liu Zhiyin shook his head and walked out with Liu Chengxuan, not answering Zhong Zhuyu, but kept muttering: "Dayu can't live without the king of Zhenbei......"

Seeing that he was about to leave, Zhong Yuyu hurriedly raised his voice and asked, "Lord Liu, I don't know why the emperor suddenly changed his mind and wanted to condemn the Zhong family?" ”

Liu Zhiyin didn't look back, just looked up at the sky with a slight feeling, and said: "The world is impermanent, sometimes, people die when they die, and those who are alive have to continue to live." ”

Zhong Zhiyu also raised his head, and the wind in his eyes surged.

"What are you looking at?" Qin Bairui also stretched his neck to look at the sky, and wondered: "There are no birds in the sky, and there are few clouds, what is there to see." ”

“……”

Zhong Zhiyu said that he didn't want to pay attention to him.
