Xiao Tingchen smiled and arched his hand, "Back to the emperor, the minister rested in the small courtyard on Yanxing Street last night, and Miss Su slept with the minister, so she could testify for the minister." ”

After speaking, Yu Guang saw Rong Zheng's falling hands clenched into fists.

His smile became more and more innocent, "Your Majesty, did something happen last night?" Prime Minister Rong cried so much, didn't Mrs. Rong go to the west? ”

"You-"

Prime Minister Rong was so angry that he covered his heart, trembling all over, and pointed at Xiao Tingchen speechless for a long time.

Rong Zheng said coldly: "Why does King Yong pretend to be confused? Last night, you broke into the Rong Mansion and tried to kill me, but the murder attempt failed, so you set fire to the Rong Mansion in a fit of shame. At the feet of the Son of Heaven, you intend to murder the court officials, and the crime is unforgivable! ”

Xiao Tingchen raised his eyebrows, "Lord Rong doesn't believe me, doesn't he believe in Xiaojiu either?" Do you have to summon her to the palace to testify for me, so that Lord Rong will believe me? By the way, Xiaojiu was too tired last night, and I'm afraid I haven't stayed at this hour. ”

Rong Zheng's face became even more ugly.

What does it mean to be too tired last night?

What did they do last night, and Sister Su hasn't been able to stay yet?!

He stared at Xiao Tingchen, and the other party smiled.

In his opinion, it is clear that the dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.

But it doesn't matter, he still has a backhand.

He solemnly bowed his hand to the emperor, "Your Majesty, last night the assassin broke into the Rong Mansion, and the guard cut off his left arm. A knife mark from top to bottom is about five or six inches long. Please ask the emperor for permission to let King Yong strip and check. ”

The emperor was so shrewd that he had long known these things.

He looked at Xiao Tingchen, the other party's expression was indifferent, and he didn't seem afraid to examine the wound.

He put down the cinnabar pen and became a little interested, "What did Huai Jin say?" ”

Xiao Tingchen was indifferent, "If the minister's left arm does not have the wound in Lord Rong's mouth, then can I ask the Holy Lord to sentence Lord Rong for framing the court officials?" ”

Rong Zheng had a bad premonition in his heart.

But the emperor was already happy.

Xiao Tingchen neatly took off his robe and inner lining.

He stood shirtless in the imperial study.

Broad shoulders and narrow waist, strong waistline.

The bulging muscles were as hard as iron, but there were countless scars on the front and back of the chest.

There are old wounds, and more are new wounds left on the battlefield of Yan Kingdom.

There aren't a few pieces of skin intact!

As for the left arm, a knife wound spread from the big arm to the lower arm, eight or nine inches long, which was even more hideous and terrifying than the wound in Rong Zheng's mouth!

Rong Zheng was stunned.

Xiao Tingchen knelt down, his voice heavy and sad:

"Most of these injuries were left during the battle on the battlefield of Yan Kingdom. The minister did not hesitate to suffer and spare his life, he just wanted to protect this family and country. But now Prime Minister Rong's father and son slander Weichen like this, the minister is really heartbroken! ”

The face is distorted.

I've seen pretentiousness, but I've never seen anyone pretend to this point!

After Xiao Tingchen returned home last night, he must have scratched himself with a knife, and the wound was so terrifying!

What a ruthless man!

The emperor was satisfied.

His knuckles tapped on the dragon case, and he said casually: "Rongxiang, what else do you two have to say?" ”

Prime Minister Rong didn't dare to cry.

He swallowed and looked at his son.

Rong Zheng immediately made a decision, and knelt beside Xiao Tingchen in his robe, "Back to the emperor, it is about the minister who was dazzled last night." The damage caused to His Royal Highness King Yong today, the minister is willing to bear it! ”

The emperor was secretive, "I degraded you to Dali Temple as an official, can you be convinced?" ”

Rong Zheng kowtowed, "Surrender to oral mouth." ”

Leaving the imperial study, Rong Zheng and Xiao Tingchen stood side by side under the eaves.

The man in white has a cold face.

He is different from other sons, he was born in a splendid background, with the support of his family shade and Empress Dowager Rong, he served as a palace scholar in the court, just waiting to inherit his father's position in the future.

Now he was thrown by the emperor to Dali Temple to deal with the prison case, and he dealt with cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, and there was no help for his connections.

The Rong family was also burned by Xiao Tingchen......

He hated this man so much!

He had a cold face, "Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and they are talking about King Yong." ”

Xiao Tingchen was happy, "Thank you for the compliment." ”

Rong Zheng said again: "Flowers are not red for a hundred days, people are not good for a thousand days, there are many families in Chang'an, and there are very few who can stand tall for hundreds of years." My Rong family is one of them. ”

"Oh."

Xiao Tingchen took out a thin cigarette pipe and lit it slowly.

"Xiao Tingchen, the power of the family is far beyond your imagination. If you offend the Rong family, it won't end well-"

"Hoo ......"

Xiao Tingchen spat out a puff of smoke rings at him.

Rong Zheng took a few steps back and raised his hand to disperse the smoke, "Xiao Tingchen?!" ”

"I don't know if the flowers are red or not, and I don't know what the consequences of offending the Rong family will be. But Rong Zheng, you shouldn't hurt Su Xiaojiu. ”

The winter sun fell into the man's curved peach blossom eyes, looking affectionate and gentle.

He slowly exhaled a puff of smoke ring, "You said that the Rong family has been standing for hundreds of years, so I prefer it to fall into my hands." You said that the power of the family is far beyond my imagination, then, I prefer the family that holds the power in Chang'an City to fall. Power and power are concentrated in the hands of the only person in the world, which is called real power. ”

He laughed and left.

Rong Zheng stared at his back, trembling slightly.

He has been reading poetry and strategizing since he was a child, and he has never thought of such shocking remarks!

For hundreds of years, the Great Qi family has stood against the royal family, maintaining a fragile but strong balance.

Xiao Tingchen wants the family to fall?

Xiao Tingchen wants power to be concentrated in the hands of the emperor alone?!

He sneered sarcastically, "It's really unashamed......"

Xiao Tingchen stepped out of the palace and rode his horse to Ganlu Street with his entourage.

The winter wind whistled past his ears, and the man's side face was rare and cold.

Since the death of the chief priest, he has gradually sketched a world in his heart.

That's the world he wants to build.

But......

The man's lips suddenly curled gently.

Drunk and lying on the knees of beauty, awake to the power of the world.

Before establishing that world, he wanted to marry his beauty.

Lu Guo Mansion.

Su Jiu was still sitting on the big chair.

Almond tea is already halfway drunk, and it is very warm and hot.

She raised her eyes and saw that the aunts and servants in the second and third rooms were all beaten by the frost and looked for teeth, and even Lu Zhenzhen and Lu Xiangxiang were punched and kicked by her, trembling and crying in the corner.

The old Duchess was even more exaggerated, sitting on the ground beating her chest and feet, crying at the top of her voice, scolding Lu Guogong for being unfilial, scolding Su Min for being a loser and a living dead, and scolding Su Jiu for being a shameless little slut.

The neighbors are all dignitaries.

A group of noble ladies who were not afraid of things came in to see the excitement, and they gently helped the old Duchess to her feet and helped to accuse, "Miss Su, on this cold day, you let your grandmother sit on the ground and cry, what if you freeze your body?" ”

"That's it! Miss Su, you are a junior, you should listen obediently when the elders speak, you can't refute half a word, how dare you order the maid to do something to the elders?! ”

The old duchess cried and complained, "You don't know, her father owes hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to Qianzhuang, but this dead girl wants to use my own money and coffin book to pay off the debt!" It's going to be damned, this dead girl is going to be damned! ”

When the group of noble ladies heard this, they hurriedly followed the denunciation and threw down the Su wine.

Under the eaves, the girl in the green coat and skirt took a sip of almond tea slowly, and suddenly laughed.

I saw a baby give Rong Zheng (zheng) the nickname Rong Ji, it's so funny,
