Chapter 377: Punishment
The strength in Xia Chengdao's hand gradually increased, and Mingru's face turned red and turned blue.
"I'm not going to say it." Mingru reluctantly provoked a helpless laugh, and reached out to break off Xia Chengdao's fingers that were clutching his neck one by one, "Since it is a husband and wife, there must be trust that should be there." ”
"This sentence is returned to you." Xia Chengdao smiled.
Mingru's pupils were dyed with a bit of deep meaning.
Xiahou Mansion was built quickly under the capital of Xia Huaiqing. This scale is more than double the size of the original mansion, and it is not inferior to other buildings in the capital.
Although the emperor was far away in the palace, he could still hear the sound of a small fight, and his eyes were lowered and he was silent.
"Your Majesty, is what Xiahou Ye is doing is too rampant?" The eunuch was a little confused about his face.
"It's crazy, but what does this have to do with me?" The emperor replied nonchalantly, "Xia Huaiqing just came down from the cusp of the wave not long ago, and now he can't wait to climb up." ”
The buildings and mansions in the capital are divided into three, six and nine, and some high-ranking officials live in the most luxurious ones, and some officials and businessmen who are not up to the bottom are the second.
Originally, Xia Huaiqing was barely able to climb to the position of a high-ranking official, but as soon as he was demoted, he could only linger in the middle.
The treatment of the mansion that the emperor resettled him was obviously much worse than before. Although the accessories are readily available, the degree of luxury is not comparable to before.
For this matter, Xia Huaiqing secretly thought about it for a long time in his heart. Now that Xiahou's Mansion has been burned, his opportunity to create brilliance again will naturally come.
Eight or nine are not far from ten, Xia Huaiqing's heart must be secretly happy, and he has forgotten the eternal truth of the tree's great wind.
The eunuch could understand the emperor's meaning, and replied lightly and withdrew.
The people who died in the fire in Xiahou Mansion have been properly settled, and Ming Urarao is reluctant to give up his children, so he has to obediently hand over the urn.
After everything was calmed down, the limelight of Xiahou Mansion became more prosperous, and Xia Chengdao accepted many concubines in a row.
Xia Zhiqiu always had secret contact with Xia Chengdao in private, and rented an inn to live alone, and lived freely.
These things fell into Xia Zhixue's ears without any mistakes.
However, it didn't arouse a big reaction, Xia Zhixue said in a steady tone: "Xia Zhiqiu is just when she is recuperating, when will she make a comeback without a long eye." ”
Xia Xingyu stood aside and asked at the right time: "Do you need your subordinates to prepare in advance?" ”
"There's nothing to prepare." Xia Zhixue shook her head, with a cunning look in her eyes, "What should be done, Ouyang Huaiyu should have done it." ”
In the palace, Ouyang Huaiyu swaggered into the emperor's imperial study with a token.
The emperor was having a headache for today's affairs, so he lifted his eyelids and looked at Ouyang Huaiyu, and said casually: "Nineteen is here." ”
"Well, participate in the Imperial Brother." Ouyang Huaiyu saluted, but the person unceremoniously found a chair and sat down, "Brother Huang, what's the matter with a headache?" ”
"Xia Huaiqing's mansion rebuilt by the old fox has aroused the dissatisfaction of a large number of people, and now every time I look at a performance, one of the three must be talking about this matter."
The emperor held his head, his face a little depressed.
The reason why he didn't deal with it before was that he thought that those ministers would make stumbling blocks in private, in short, this kind of thing is not uncommon.
Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, a group of ministers stumbled in Xia Huaiqing, firstly, the purpose of punishment was achieved, and secondly, there was no need to lose face, which was also very convenient. 29GG
But here lies in the problem, this matter is not as simple as I thought, and the development is somewhat beyond expectations.
Ouyang Huaiyu knew what the emperor was thinking, and he did think that this path was very good before, but now when he saw the effect, his mind was definitely greatly reduced.
"Is the royal brother ready to make a move now?" Ouyang Huaiyu asked, "If this matter continues to develop like this, it will be difficult to control it in the future." ”
The emperor wrung his eyebrows.
He sat on the dragon chair, and every move he made could be seen clearly by the people below, all of them were punishing Xia Huaiqing for such a trivial matter, and it was inevitable that he would end up with a bad tone.
However, it is not possible to deal with this matter without dealing with it.
After a long silence, the emperor squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Look at it for a while." ”
"Okay, then listen to the royal brother." Ouyang Huaiyu responded.
The emperor glanced down at the fold, but found that he couldn't read anything in the face of the words, so he simply closed the fold.
He was facing Ouyang Huaiyu, and his tone was considerate: "Nineteen came to find me today, there should be some things." ”
Ouyang Huaiyu was still worried about how to speak at first, but now when he heard the emperor speak first, he said bluntly: "As expected by the imperial brother, there is indeed such a thing. ”
"Tell me about it."
"Xia Zhiqiu has been too happy in the past few days, she and Xia Chengdao have hooked up in private, and they are squandering the money of Xiahou Mansion, and they have a backer behind them in the capital, and they have done a lot of things."
Ouyang Huaiyu was stunned.
What he said was not adding oil and vinegar, it was completely true.
Xia Zhiqiu has begun to be uneasy in recent days, and she will be seen in the restaurants in the capital every night, and she will not be the same every day.
She is now backed by Xiahou Mansion, and her actions are extremely generous, but her style of acting is becoming more and more extravagant, and from time to time she scolds the families of some petty officials, and she raises her status stiffly.
Because she has a disguise when she goes out, those family members are not very able to recognize who this guy is, only a few sharp-eyed people secretly speculate in their hearts.
These things are not big, of course, they can't reach the ears of the emperor.
The emperor looked surprised, and immediately understood: "Xia Zhiqiu should indeed take action to punish her, let her live happily for too long before." ”
"Indeed." Ouyang Huaiyu nodded, "The arson incident is enough to put her in prison, and with the current crime of seven, seven, eight, and eight, it is considered light to divide the corpse of five horses." ”
How excessive what Xia Zhiqiu did was, this is very clear to anyone with a discerning eye.
In front of Ouyang Huaiyu, the emperor issued a holy decree and ordered a group of officers and soldiers to arrest Xia Zhiqiu first.
Xia Zhiqiu didn't know that her situation was already dangerous, and she was wandering slowly on the street alone, and the disdain on her face was increasing day by day.
Her hands and feet were suddenly controlled, Xia Zhiqiu's eyes were sharp, and she shouted: "Who is it?" Even the eldest lady of my Xiahou Mansion dares to tie up! ”
If this identity is taken out, it is enough to overwhelm a vote, but in the face of the Praetorian Guard, it can only be obediently submitted.
"We are the emperor's people." The commander of the Praetorian Guard looked at Xia Zhiqiu, who had been controlled, he took out the fold from his sleeve and read it to her, "We didn't wronged a good person. ”
