Chapter 17 Peaks and Loops

Guards rushed in from outside the courtyard, and in the blink of an eye, they surrounded Hua Xiyan.

Where had the people present seen such a battle, they couldn't help but feel a little flustered, but they didn't dare to say anything, they just looked at it with a look of horror.

The smile on Hua Xiyan's lips was sarcastic, but there was no panic.

Zhao Lao's words were not exaggerated at all, according to Shengtian's emphasis on civil officials, Hua Xiyan's broken golden chopsticks constituted a great crime of disrespect. Who is not cautious when greeting in history, Hua Xiyan's situation is really unprecedented.

Looking at the faces of Zhao Lao and Guo Yan Tieqing, people knew that something was definitely bad this time.

The people present have already begun to look at Hua Xiyan with resentful eyes, this golden toad has an extremely profound meaning in it, and now that this golden chopsticks are broken, doesn't it mean that their career is about to end? I have been studying hard for decades, just to one day the sword is sharp, and now I am broken by this Huaxi smoke, how can I not be angry?

Thinking like this, some people have long been ready to move, eager to step forward and take down the woman who has stained their careers like those guards.

"Take it!" Zhao Lao snorted and panted, obviously angry, and after a while, he yelled again.

"Wait!" Yang Jincheng crossed his hand, and a folding fan was already in front of Hua Xiyan, stopping a group of guards, turning his head to look at Zhao Laodao, his voice was a little hurried, "Does Zhao Lao want to figure things out before making a decision?" ”

Zhao Lao sneered, and the goatee curled: "Fang Cai and Yun Shilang all took this golden chopstick, and there was nothing wrong with it, but it broke in the hands of this woman." The texture of this golden chopsticks is extremely soft, what is this woman's mind is obvious, what is there to figure out! ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Lao took a breath, and then said indignantly: "Just now the old man said that a woman can't be on the stage, and now that this has happened, how can the old man explain to the saint!" ”

Zhao Qingru on the side was already dumbfounded by the current situation, looking at Zhao Lao, who was almost fainting, and said: "Grandfather ......"

"Shut up!" Zhao Lao turned his head and yelled at Zhao Qingru, "It's all your idea, now you can't escape it!" ”

Zhao Lao has always loved Zhao Qingru very much, and it is rare to be so harsh, for a while, Zhao Qingru's red lips snorted, and his face was replaced with a look of grievance, and tears accumulated in his eyes, and he was about to surge out.

Sun Muyang walked up to Zhao Qingru and gently wrapped his arms around her, wanting to say something for her, but seeing that Zhao Lao was still angry, he couldn't say anything because of his majesty.

Zhao Qingru buried his face in Sun Muyang's arms, and couldn't help but tremble violently, obviously looking extremely scared.

"Put this woman in the prefect's prison! Take the old man to make a decision after the saint! Zhao Lao waved his hand and convicted Hua Xiyan of the crime.

"Old Zhao, isn't it inappropriate to act so hastily?" Yun Wei also stepped forward, frowned almost invisibly, and spoke in a clear voice, with worry hidden in his voice.

Hua Xiyan looked at Zhao Lao with bright eyes, and there was no trace of panic in his calm eyes, as if the person who was about to become a prisoner was not her.

This Zhao Lao is a good minister of the emperor, but he is also a well-known antique, and his adherence to etiquette and law has reached a heinous level. It is said that twenty years ago, the emperor was very fortunate to have a Wanyi, at the emperor's birthday banquet, that Wanyi proudly brought a phoenix with wings that can only be worn by a concubine, and was seen by this Zhao Lao, shouting discord and etiquette, and begging the emperor to condemn this woman who does not know the severity. The emperor had no choice but to demote Na Wanyi to the lowest level of women. Since then, regardless of the harem, everyone is in danger, cautious in words and deeds, for fear that an inattentive offend this old antique and cause unnecessary trouble.

The little concubine is still like this, not to mention that the civil official will try such a major sect related to the fortune of the country! Such an old-fashioned person, Hua Xiyan felt that it was already a great deal of affection for not killing her on the spot.

"Put her in jail first! Retrial after the fact! Zhao Lao glared at Hua Xiyan, and his eyes were eager to eat her alive.

"Just because these chopsticks are broken, Zhao Lao is going to arrest me and put me in prison?"

This voice is not in a hurry, there is a kind of seductive posture, hearing it in the ears is as light and pleasant as a zither flowing by, but in the ears of Zhao Lao, who is angry, it has become a ghost quibble.

"That's not enough?" Old Zhao's eyes were cracked, and he banged on the table and shouted.

Hua Xiyan didn't seem to see Zhao Lao's anger, and said casually again: "What if I say, there is something wrong with this golden chopsticks?" ”

Zhao Lao was stunned, as if he didn't understand what Hua Xiyan was talking about, and after a while, he sneered again: "What nonsense!" ”

Governor Sun snorted disdainfully: "Miss Hua doesn't go to prison, why bother to say such ridiculous remarks!" All these things were prepared by my Sun family personally, what else could be wrong? ”

Hua Xiyan slowly turned up, and the Xiangfei-colored skirt flew out of a beautiful arc. It is obviously a very light color, but in the eyes of the Sun family, it is red and thrilling, in full swing.

"If the light is strong, it will shine, and if it is protected from light, it will be red; Fall the hand, throw it silently; The body is slow and no elastic, shallow and soft, and it is said to be 'ten thousand feet'. Hua Xiyan slowly opened his mouth and said in a clear voice, "The light of this golden chopsticks is too shallow, and it is obviously insufficient. If you don't believe it, you can compare it with the hollow flying phoenix golden step on a Miss Xie's head, a thousand feet are still like this, how many are you? ”

When everyone heard this, they all turned their eyes to Xie Rou, only to see that the candlelight on the hibiscus Guiyun bun was shining, and the long pendant on the step was dazzling, and it was a little dazzling, and its luster was obviously not comparable to the two truncated chopsticks on the jade platform.

Hua Xiyan had already said this, and the people present were more shrewd, obviously understanding all the meanings, and they were all silent at once, and did not speak.

Zhao Lao had also recovered from the initial incomprehension, and glanced at the people of the Sun family who were pale on the side, and his face was a little darker.

"Since this golden chopsticks are not real gold, then even if they are broken, it is understandable, and everyone really wronged Miss Hua." Yang Jinrong opened his mouth and said, his voice was loud enough for everyone to understand.

If it weren't for the golden chopsticks, the so-called "golden toad and laurel" would no longer exist, and the so-called crime of "committing chaos" would be even more nonsense.

"In that case, then this matter is over, and then the salute will be continued!" Elder Zhao waved his hand, and the sound of etiquette and music slowly sounded again.

"Is it a little unreasonable for Zhao Lao to abuse his power like this?" Hua Xiyan spoke, and Qing Ling's voice successfully blocked the sound of ritual music.

"Hua Xiyan, what do you mean?"

Hua Xiyan's quiet eyes looked at Zhao Qingru with a hopeless look, as if she wanted to see the fear and disguise hidden in her heart through her eyes, and slowly spoke: "I mean ......"

"What Miss Hua means is that those who commit rebellion will be imprisoned, but those who bully the king can get away with it, which is really unfair!"

When everyone heard this, they all turned their heads to look in the direction where the voice came from, and saw a very neatly dressed woman at the gate of the courtyard with a smile on her face and striding over.
