Chapter 172: Give the King Justice Back
"What did you say?" Ziyue clenched her palms tightly, grinding the back socket and squeezing out these words.
Tong Yuqing curled the corners of her lips, and swept towards Ah Jing, who was moving a little step and wanted to quit. "Ah Jing, did you hear what I said just now?"
Ah Jing's body trembled, and her voice was so small that she could barely hear it. "Listen, hear clearly."
"Then you tell her."
Ah Jing looked embarrassed, "This ...... Slave ......"
Tong Yuqing raised her eyebrows, "Huh? Inconvenience? ”
"Did your brain get eaten by a dog?" Ah Jing lowered her head, and her voice was as small as just now.
Tong Yuqing stared at Ah Jing coldly, "Be louder, I can't hear it." ”
Ah Jing gritted her teeth and shouted at Ziyue: "Did your brain be eaten by a dog!" ”
"Tong Yuqing!" Ziyue slapped on the table, and there was a bloody palm print on the table. "You dare to scold me?"
Tong Yuqing's gaze moved to Ziyue's palm that was eager to buckle the table out of a few holes, and then skimmed the bloody palm print under the palm, and laughed wildly: "Don't scold you, I'll beat you!" ”
Ziyue's eyes suddenly became sharp, and she slapped a palm towards Tong Yuqing at a very fast speed. Her movements were too fast, Tong Yuqing didn't have time to dodge, and she didn't seem to want to dodge at all, so she just stood there with a meaningful smile.
"Ziyue!"
Zhuyun, who rushed over, screamed, and Ziyue's movements immediately stopped. Tong Yuqing put away the smile on her lips, took a step back, and watched Ziyue put back the silver needle that was clamped between her fingertips.
Rao is Tong Yuqing had already taken precautions, but at this moment he still had palpitations and was afraid for a while. She calculated that Ziyue was going to do it, but she didn't expect Ziyue to want to kill herself in front of Ah Jing.
If she hadn't been close, she probably wouldn't have found the silver needle.
If Zhuyun hadn't arrived, I'm afraid that silver needle would have pierced into her eye.
If it weren't for the fact that she had long been accustomed to Zhuyun coming over at this hour every day, I'm afraid she wouldn't dare to bet on this game.
……
"Ziyue, are you going to rebel!"
Zhuyun didn't know where the momentum came from, so he hurriedly walked up to Tong Yuqing in three or two steps, and protected her behind him without a trace. Zhuyun's cool gaze looked back and forth on Ziyue's body, "The prince asked Ziyue to come over to see the princess, he didn't say that you should come over to be presumptuous!" ”
How could Ziyue fall into battle, looking up at a hideous face covered with blood, and pointing at the wound on his head with the one he had just withdrawn, "Is this also my presumptuousness?" Who is presumptuous about my head injury! ”
"Then you mean, I'm presumptuous?" Tong Yuqing's low voice spit out leisurely, lazy and arrogant, and it was so hateful that people's teeth itched.
Ziyue's face was even more ugly, the blood beads were still dripping down, and when she looked down, she saw that the clothes on her chest were already sticky and bloody.
Zhuyun frowned, "You go back and clean the wound first, and come over tomorrow to see the princess." ”
"When is it your turn to speak in this house?" Ziyue glared at her with a look, and Zhuyun was speechless.
"Then what do you mean, it's up to you to decide what you want in this house now?"
Tong Yuqing is still in that tone, and it is still so angry that her teeth are itching.
Ziyue clenched her two fists tightly, her lower lip that she bit hard was already pale, her face was as black as ink, and her eyes were already scarlet.
"I'm not going to leave it at that!"
Dropping this sentence, Ziyue walked out over the bamboo clouds. When she passed by Tong Yuqing's side, she glared at her menacingly, and when she passed by Ah Jing's side, her footsteps stopped, and she snorted contemptuously.
Ah Jing's face turned whiter with fright, her body trembled, and her head wanted to be buried in her chest.
"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and clean up here."
Zhuyun looked at the pool of blood on the ground in disgust, and commanded Ah Jing. Ah Jing was about to pick up the pieces of the teacup, but just squatted down, she was stopped by Tong Yuqing.
"Ah Jing, you go to rest and ask others to come in and clean up."
Ah Jing was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously went to look at Zhuyun. Tong Yuqing was a little displeased, "I can't call you anymore?" ”
"Slaves don't dare!"
Ah Jingcheng was terrified, and he didn't dare to look up at Zhuyun again, so he retreated directly.
Zhuyun snorted coldly: "A girl slave, why are you so spoiled?" ”
Tong Yuqing pursed her lips and said nothing, her eyes were placed in the distance as Ah Jing left.
Ah Jing had just gone out, and someone came in to clean up all the traces. In a few moments, the blood-stained area had been wiped clean.
Tong Yuqing had already returned to the bed and lay leisurely, with Zhuyun waiting by her side, her eyebrows were always tightened.
Zhuyun wanted to open his mouth several times, but every time the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back. After a few hesitations, he didn't say anything, turned around and went out.
As soon as he walked out of the house, Zhuyun called a little girl. "You go to the study and see if the prince is back."
Cheng Zirui has just returned from the palace and has a bunch of affairs on his hands. Luo Heng had already helped him pick out the urgent and important ones first, and put them aside neatly.
He took a random book of folds, only to flip it through twice and throw it away.
"Tell me, what's the situation with Xu Shilang?"
Speaking of this Xu Shilang, it is the minister who openly confronted Cheng Zirui. I don't know if it was the queen and the crown prince's party that promised him any benefits, or if he suddenly had a sense of responsibility and mission because he had always been wise and protected himself, and he actually took the lead in inciting public opinion in the place with the most people in Beijing, trying to reverse the situation.
Although the crown prince is now at the end of his crossbow, no matter how much he tosses, he can't turn over the waves. But after he made such a fuss, there were still opposing voices among the people.
"As far as the news that his subordinates and others have probed and returned, this Xu Shilang is not simple. He had a concubine and was the daughter of a wealthy merchant in Jiangzhong. said that she was a concubine, but the status of the woman in the house was higher than that of the wife. And after the woman entered the door, Xu Shilang's official career soared, and in just three years, he was promoted from Xiaoxiao Liupin to the current position of Shilang. The wealthy merchant in Jiangzhong almost became an imperial businessman last year because of his connections. Just because he is a squire, where does he have the ability to let a Jiangzhong businessman compete for the imperial businessman, I am afraid there is other help. ”
Cheng Zirui narrowed his eyes slightly, "That's all?" ”
Luo Heng lowered his head and didn't speak, and the news that his subordinates found out was indeed only that. It's not that the people in his hands don't do things wholeheartedly, but that this Xu Shilang is too good at hiding his ambitions, and many things are obviously traceable but he can't find flaws, so people can't grasp the handle.
Cheng Zirui pondered for a moment, and suddenly opened his eyes. "Everyone in the court said that Xu Shilang was a fool, but this king looks at him, he is a really smart person."
Luo Heng frowned, not understanding what he meant. "What does the prince mean by this?"
"The court is like a pool of deep water, where is there a person who is truly wise and wise. Xu Shilang dared to stand out at this time, not because he was loyal to his father, but because he had always worked hard for the queen and the prince. Now the queen and crown prince are no longer good, he knows that sooner or later this king will find out about his head, so even if he offends this king, he must pretend to be a loyal minister in front of the people. ”
The coldness between Cheng Zirui's eyebrows grew.
"Those who kill kings and seize the throne are reviled by thousands of people, but loyal ministers are celebrities and admired through the ages. You see, who dares to stand up among the ministers of the court and the central government now, he is the only one who has such courage. He put himself on the cusp of the sword, and was surrounded and protected by the people, so that he could save his life. If there is a **** life in danger, then everyone in the world will know that this is the hand of this king, and it will confirm the crime of killing the king and seizing the throne. ”
Cheng Zirui set his eyes on Luo Heng again. "This king wants to sit on the world justifiably, and it's really hard to do it to him."
Luo Heng tightened the sword in his hand, "It's like Jin Lifu of the Li Kingdom, because his name is not right, so the position of the lord of the country has not been stable." But my lord, what should we do now? ”
Water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat, at this time, it is not enough to have the ability to be an emperor, you must have the ability to convince the people.
Cheng Zirui's lips pursed into a tight line, and he was silent for a moment before he spoke: "As long as it is something that has been done, there will definitely be traces." asked someone to investigate again, and he must be made public about his collusion with the crown prince. ”
Speaking of this, Cheng Zirui suddenly stopped, his gaze jumped from Luo Heng, and fell on the table behind him, and in a trance, he seemed to see Tong Yuqing sitting there and painting himself again......
After a long time, he woke up from that scene, looked at Luo Heng, who had been waiting for him, and said in a deep voice: "Give the king justice." ”
Luo Heng was ordered to retreat, and as soon as he stepped out of the study, he saw a little girl stopped by the guard in front of him.
"Who?"
"The slave maid is from the princess's courtyard."
Luo Heng was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Tong Yuqing had already been sent to the palace by the Xu family, and she was even more comfortable as the nominal princess. Luo Heng's face was even more ugly, and his tone was naturally even more stiff and cold.
"Why are there so many things?"
The little girl suddenly became excited, and blurted out: "Sister Zhuyun asked the slave maid to come over and see if the prince has returned." ”
"What does it have to do with Zhuyun whether the prince has come back or not?"
The little girl was asked stupidly by Luo Heng, the prince is really unwilling to go back to the house, but is the fight between the princess and Ziyue counted?
"But ......" Seeing that Luo Heng's face was darker, the little girl was aggrieved and a little scared. But the princess had a fight with Miss Ziyue. ”
Luo Heng was stunned for a moment and grabbed the little girl's arm. "What did you say?"
This cold person was grabbed by the arm and asked viciously, and the little girl was immediately frightened stupid. Luo Heng raised his voice and asked again, "What did you say?" ”
"Luo Heng."
Hearing this low voice, Luo Heng could only let go of his hand, and when he turned around, Cheng Zirui had already walked over.
"What?"
The little girl was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and shouted in a trembling voice, "Lord Wang." ”
"You just said, who fought with whom?" Cheng Zirui skipped Luo Heng and stopped at the little girl.
