"Lord Wang, there must be some misunderstanding in this. Rao'er has always been gentle and virtuous, and this kind of sinister thing will definitely not be done by her. ”

Seeing his daughter kneeling on the ground at the moment, his face turned blue with fright, Jiang Ge didn't know how distressed he was, so he hurriedly pleaded with Situ Huoqing.

"Elder Jiang Ge, this king knows that you love your daughter very much, but you dare to know what impact such a thing will have on the palace, if this king can't find out the truth, how will he be the master of the palace in the future? This is a family affair of the palace, so please ask Jiang Ge Lao not to interfere. Situ Huoqing's voice was cold without a trace of warmth, and there was endless majesty in his indifference and alienation.

Jiang Ge Lao originally wanted to intercede for his daughter, but Situ Huoqing said, "This is a family matter", so he blocked his mouth. is the so-called water spilled by the daughter who got married. Even if Jiang Ge Lao wanted to protect his daughter, he couldn't overstep his duty regardless of the occasion.

At that moment, Jiang Ge Lao sighed in his heart, and secretly prayed that his daughter would survive this catastrophe.

"Lord, it's all bad for concubines, it's the concubines who listened to Zhihua's fallacy, saying that Miss Shui tried to seduce the prince with beauty, which is not good for the prince, after all, Miss Shui has a great relationship with His Royal Highness the Prince, and the concubine is afraid that the prince will be hurt, so she was provoked by Zhihua, and after listening to Zhihua's proposal, she instructed Steward Wen to do these things."

In just a short time, Jiang Mengrao has already understood that if she does not lower her figure and confess her guilt in the current situation, then she will be confessed by others at that time, then there is a possibility that the prince will kill her in anger, so she thought of putting all the responsibility on Zhihua's head.

"Yes, lord, the cheap maid can testify, it is indeed Zhihua who came to complain to the princess, and said a lot of bad things about Miss Shui in front of the princess, and we and the princess listened to the slander of the girl in Zhihua, so we will do such a foolish thing." Aunt He said crying at this time.

"Lord, the cheap maid knows that she is wrong, and the cheap maid is also concerned about the prince, and she is afraid that the prince will be hurt, so she will do such a foolish thing, the cheap maid knows that she deserves to die for her sins, and she also asks the prince to forgive the cheap maid." Aunt Yao then took the pear blossom with the rain.

"Lord, it's all the cheap maids who have been blinded by lard, and they say that the princess is not, but in fact, it is a trick that Zhihua gave to the princess, and the princess is also a victim. The prince must forgive the! Aunt Xin saw that everyone had put the blame on Zhihua, she was not stupid, so she quickly changed her previous rhetoric.

Steward Wen glanced at Jiang Mengrao and stammered: "Lord, the old slave deserves death, the old slave is loyal to the prince, but he did something wrong, and asked the prince to spare the old slave." ”

Listening to the crying and begging for mercy of several people, Situ Huoqing only felt that his brain was buzzing, and at this moment, the truth slapped one to death, and these people were like flies in his ears.

"Where is the painting?" At this moment, Situ Huoqing's voice was as cold as if it came from hell.

The subordinates all glanced at each other, but did not see the shadow of Zhihua. Situ Huoqing's cold eyes swept over, making sure that Zhihua was indeed not here.

"Lord Wang, just now Zhihua was standing next to the slave and maid, and he slipped away at some point." A girl said resignedly.

"The Zhihua was found by this king, even if it was three feet into the ground, it had to be pulled to this king!" Situ Huoqing said angrily.

At this moment, he could clearly see on his face that the thick anger had turned into a substantial black cloud. Today is his big day, but he didn't expect to be messed up by these messy things. If he doesn't solve the matter in the backyard today, how can he stand in front of other officials in the future.

Situ Huoqing gave an order, and immediately someone hurried away. About half a stick of incense, those people went and returned. Situ Huoqing didn't see Zhihua, and his voice suddenly became even colder.

"What about people?"

"Back to the prince, I know that the painting has hanged himself in his house." One of the subordinates said boldly.

"Suicide in fear of sin? Interesting and interesting. Situ Huoqing obviously had a shallow smile on his face, but in the eyes of everyone, he couldn't help but shudder.

"Heh, Zhihua, Zhihua, do you think this king can let you go? Think you'll get away with it? Situ Huoqing seemed to mutter.

The next moment, his eyes flashed with a touch of fierceness, and he said angrily: "Whip the corpse of Zhihua a hundred times, and then throw it to the mass grave to feed the dogs!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone gasped. The sun was blazing right now, but they felt a chill spread from the soles of their feet to their whole bodies.

"It's the prince!" The two guards quickly left after receiving the order.

"Lord Wang, spare your life, the little one is completely acting according to Steward Wen's orders. Steward Wen let the small one poison the fish in the whole pond, and if the small one didn't do it, Steward Wen would dismiss the small one. Ask the prince to be merciful! ”

"Lord Wang, the little one was also coerced by Steward Wen, the little one was doing things in the kitchen, and it was Steward Wen who asked the little one to kill those cows, sheep, chickens and ducks. The fire in the ancestral hall was put by Steward Wen himself......"

For a while, two subordinates seemed to be unable to stand the cold atmosphere under them anymore, and finally took the initiative to kneel down and beg Situ Huoqing for mercy.

Situ Huoqing condescendingly glanced at the two subordinates who kept kowtowing, the corners of his lips outlined a cold arc, and said slowly: "Come on, drag these two people down to this king, how can they kill those koi, cows, sheep, chickens and ducks, and solve them in the same way for this king." ”

"Hiss......" gasps sounded all around.

The next moment, someone dragged away the two subordinates who were kneeling on the ground. After Situ Huoqing gave the order just now, the two of them were already frightened, until they were dragged out of the way, and the two who came back to their senses frantically shouted for mercy, and after a while, everything was calm again.

When Steward Wen saw this, he was immediately frightened and incontinent, and the people present only saw that water stains were constantly dripping from his crotch. At this moment, his lips trembled, and he couldn't even speak.

"Lord Wang, spare your life...... Plentiful...... Hell......"

Situ Huoqing glanced at Steward Wen with disdain, then turned around and walked into the hall, looking at the water condensation, with a hint of invisible guilt in his eyes.

"Miss Shui, what do you think should be done with the rest of the people?"

Shui Ningyan didn't expect Situ Huoqing to ask her for her opinion at this time. She frowned slightly, and couldn't help but speak: "At this time, it is inconvenient for me to express my opinion on the prince's family affairs. Everything is naturally decided by the prince. ”

Situ Huoqing smiled faintly and said, "But Miss Shui will soon be the mistress of this Qingwang Mansion, and it is not abrupt for this king to ask you." ”

Shui Ningyan's face was calm and said: "The prince said that he laughed, the two of us have not worshiped heaven, how can I be the master of the Qingwang Mansion?" ”

Situ Huoqing pretended to be dumbfounded and said with a smile: "Hey, Miss Shui's slightest suspicion is that this king failed to let you and me worship the church, so she is angry with this king." ”

As soon as these words came out, Shui Ning was so angry that he almost bit off his tongue, and he suddenly scolded Situ Huoqing countless times in his heart. This Situ Huoqing really has a brain problem, and at this time, he didn't forget to ask for a bargain with her and make an ambiguous affair in front of everyone.

"In that case, let's worship the church again tomorrow, as the so-called good things are grinding." When Situ Huoqing spoke, he didn't forget to send an autumn wave to the condensing smoke.

Shui Ningyan was suddenly so frightened that she hurriedly lowered her head, and said secretly in her heart: Forget it, Situ Huoqing, this man can be described as a clever tongue, no matter what she says, she will be surrounded by this man's words, so let him sing the double reed alone.

At the moment, Shui Ningyan was too lazy to deal with this man, and at the same time she was thinking in her heart, Situ Huoqing said that she would hold a worship ceremony tomorrow, so she would be safe for the time being. Thinking of this, her tense heartstrings relaxed temporarily.

Situ Huoqing saw the changing look on Shui Ningyan's face without a trace, and a look of inscrutable flashed in his deep eyes in the next moment.

Situ Huoqing turned around and saw Jiang Mengrao, Aunt He, Aunt Yao, Aunt Xin, and the housekeeper kneeling on the ground, all with their heads down, staring at him from the corners of their eyes, and their eyes were full of hope for survival.

"Lord Wang, you spare the concubine, the concubine is also impulsive, and she knows the way of painting the little hooves, and the concubine is also chaotic because she cares!"

"Yes, the prince, the and the princess's sister are all because they care about the prince and are afraid that the prince will be hurt, so they will do something wrong for a while."

"Lord Wang, for the sake of the old slave's contribution to the palace for many years, let the old slave be spared."

……

Seeing that Situ Huoqing's mood seemed to be much more relaxed than before, Jiang Mengrao was stunned for a while. Aunt He, Aunt Yao, Aunt Xin, and Steward Wen set off a new round of begging for mercy.

"Come on, drag Steward Wen down to this king, remove him from the position of steward of Qingwang Mansion, and punish him with eighty rods."

As soon as these words came out, Steward Wen was so frightened that his body suddenly collapsed to the ground, and it was within his expectation that he would be removed from the position of steward, but the rod was eighty, and he still had his life after eighty rods? Even if he saves his life, he will not be paralyzed for the rest of his life?

"Lord Wang, old slave...... Hmm...... "Before the housekeeper continued to plead, someone came up and blocked his mouth with a sweat towel and dragged him down.

Jiang Mengrao, Aunt He, Aunt Yao, and Aunt Xin saw this, and their bodies were so frightened for a while that their bodies seemed to tremble, so far, none of the people punished by the prince have survived, and the prince has always been ruthless, and seeing that he was about to be punished on their heads, a heart was suddenly so nervous that it was about to jump out of his throat.

For a while, the four of them felt as if they had been waiting for Situ Huoqing's sentence for a thousand years. Situ Huoqing's eyes coldly swept over the four people who were kneeling, and then said indifferently: "Aunt He, Aunt Yao, and Aunt Xin will be expelled from the palace from today onwards, and they will not be allowed to set foot in the palace in the future." As for the princess, Aunt Jiang Wei. ”

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Mengrao and the three aunts were suddenly frightened. Seeing that Jiang Ge Lao just wanted to intercede, Situ Huoqing said coldly: "If someone pleads, this king will punish him again." ”

Jiang Ge's old face suddenly turned red. Situ Huoqing stretched out his hand and rubbed his aching temples, and said lazily: "I didn't expect you to see a joke when I came today, and I ask for your forgiveness for the inconsiderate hospitality." ”

When all the officials heard this, they naturally said a few polite words. Today, a series of these things happened in the palace, and after watching the excitement, they naturally couldn't stay any longer, so they each found an excuse and left in a hurry. As for what happened in the palace today, they naturally didn't dare to say it.
