Chapter 176: Scandal

"Do you know who it is?" The emperor asked softly.

"Not yet, there are too many people, all crowded at the gate, and the minions can't go in to find out!"

The emperor squinted his eyes and was silent for a moment, then glanced at the Jinxiang Marquis beside him, who became a little nervous, and he suddenly realized that he was likely to be used by the Jinxiang Marquis, and his heart immediately became angry. The emperor whispered a few words in Shi Gonggong's ear, then turned back into the carriage, and did not look at the Marquis of Jinxiang, as if he had been followed by an insignificant stranger.

Marquis Jinxiang has been by the emperor's side since he was a child, so he can't see the hidden anger under the emperor's calm appearance. On the one hand, he was worried that the emperor would find out that he had calculated, and on the other hand, he was worried about the situation in the small courtyard, and he was sweating profusely for a while, he stood next to the emperor's carriage with his head down, thinking in his heart how to go to the small courtyard to check it quietly, or simply find some excuse for the emperor to leave here quickly. With the emperor here, he didn't dare to make any moves, and he didn't even dare to open his mouth to tell the little servants around him to inquire about the news, so he could only glance at the crowd at the entrance of the small courtyard from time to time.

Every move of the Marquis of Jinxiang here was clearly seen by the emperor in the carriage, the Marquis of Jinxiang understood the emperor, but the emperor knew the Marquis of Jinxiang better. The emperor concluded that the identity of the people in the small courtyard must be extraordinary, and they may also have something to do with the Marquis of Jinxiang. He deliberately led the emperor out of the palace today, just to ask the emperor to come here to watch a good show, but it seems that this drama was not performed according to the arrangement of Jinxianghou.

After a while, just when the Marquis of Jinxiang was about to lose patience and wanted to quietly leave the small courtyard to check the situation, he saw Shi Gonggong leading a team of officers and soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to pass by him and go in the direction of the small courtyard. Marquis Jin Xiang couldn't bear it anymore at this time, so he ran over with Gonggong Shi and stopped Gonggong Shi in front of the door of the small courtyard.

The emperor saw Marquis Jinxiang leaving in a panic through the car window, and he forgot to report to the emperor. The emperor was even more convinced of his guess, and he had even guessed who the two men who were caught and raped in the small courtyard were.

"Gonggong Shi, it's just a trivial matter, is it necessary to make such a big move? Invite all the people from the Five Cities Terracotta Division! Let's let Ben Hou come forward to calm down this matter, the province will affect the emperor's mood! Marquis Jinxiang smiled very flatteringly and treated Shi Gong fairly.

"Marquis Jinxiang, this is the emperor's will!" Shi Gonggong glanced at Marquis Jinxiang expressionlessly, and then gave a gesture to the officers and soldiers behind him, and the officers and soldiers quickly stepped forward to disperse the crowd.

Some of the people watching the bustle at the gate of the small courtyard had already seen these officers and soldiers, and instantly made way for the officers and soldiers to enter the small courtyard smoothly. The owner of the small courtyard was still a little nervous at first when he saw that he had attracted a team of officers and soldiers, but an official at the head said to him: "You are the owner of this house, someone reported to the official, saying that someone here broke into the house and was caught by the master, what about the people?" ”

The owner of the small courtyard was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what the official meant, so he pointed to the location of the firewood room with his finger, and then watched as these officers and soldiers took away the two men who were living in their own homes.

Shi Gonggong stood in the crowd and glanced at the two people who were captured, and he was shocked for a moment and didn't know how to react, he glanced at the Jinxiang Marquis beside him, and snorted coldly: "Jinxiang Marquis, please take care of yourself, the slave still has to go to the emperor to return to his life, so he will leave first!" ”

After Gonggong Shi left, the crowd gathered in front of the small courtyard also dispersed, only the Marquis of Jinxiang stood there in a daze, and he couldn't understand why it was not Rong Guogong and his eldest son who appeared here, but the eldest son of the Four Princes and the Marquis of Jinxiang, and so many people saw that they were captured by the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and the faces of the Four Princes' Mansion and their Jinxiang Marquis were all gone. The most important thing is that today, in order to make the emperor completely disgusted with Rong Guogong, he personally led the emperor here, originally wanting to cover up the scandal of the four princes and his son, but now not only can he not hide it, but it will make the emperor even more angry. This time it was really a matter of stealing chickens and rice, and Marquis Jinxiang had already foreseen that they would bear the emperor's huge wrath.

Gonggong Shi got into the carriage and made the matter clear to the emperor, so he held his breath and didn't dare to say anything more.

"You said that Marquis Jinxiang once asked people to go to Rongguo Mansion to find Jia Daishan to deliver a letter?" The emperor closed his eyes, and his voice was as piercing as the thirty-nine heavens.

"Yes! Rong Guogong went out after receiving the letter, and now he should be in the camp in the western suburbs. ”

"You go and let someone pass the decree, let Jia Daishan enter the palace and see me quickly!"

Gonggong Shi and Liu Cheng, who were waiting outside the carriage, relayed the emperor's message, and Liu Chengcheng turned over and got on the horse and went straight to the camp in the western suburbs.

In the imperial study in the palace, Jia Daishan saluted the emperor, but he waited for a long time and did not get a response from the emperor.

"Jia Daishan, I ask you, do you know that there was a royal scandal in a small courtyard in the capital today."

Jia Daishan raised his eyes and glanced at the emperor, and instinctively asked, "What scandal?" Yes! No, Wechen doesn't know! Weichen went to the camp in the western suburbs early in the morning and came back after getting the emperor's will. ”

The emperor stared at Jia Daishan for a long time, and then asked, "I heard that Marquis Jinxiang sent you a letter early this morning?" ”

"Back to the emperor, this is indeed the case! Speaking of which, Weichen has not understood the meaning of the letter of the Marquis of Jinxiang until now. ”

"Oh? What did he write in his letter? ”

Marquis Jinxiang only wrote an address on the letter, and then said that there was a Qinglou woman living there, and that place was bought by Weichen's eldest son to house the Qinglou woman. Although Weichen's son is gentle, he also knows how to be measured, and he likes beauty and likes beautiful women, and he buys beautiful maids to serve at home, rarely patronizes the Qinglou, and will not do anything to set up a private house. But since the Marquis of Jinxiang made a special trip to write to inform him, Weichen called his eldest son to ask. Who knew that it wasn't like that at all, Wechen's eldest son was invited to go to Xiaoyao Building a few days ago, and just happened to meet a Qinglou woman who was abused, Wechen's eldest son has always been pitiful and cherished, so he rescued the woman and paid to redeem her. But the Qinglou woman was sent back to her hometown by Wei Chen's eldest son that day, how could she still appear in that small courtyard? Wechen was anxious to go to the camp in the western suburbs, so he put this matter down first, and Wechen also thought that he would come back from the camp in the western suburbs in a few days, so he went to Jinxianghou to ask him clearly! ”
