As he raised his head, he was facing Wang Xiaolai's caring face.

"Small, little Laizi." Suizhu shouted.

Wang Xiaolai said yes, and then asked what was wrong.

Suizhu was about to answer, but before he could speak, Shen Xiping walked over with the assassin with a hammer in one hand and a hand in the other, and behind him, Cui Jincan, who was pleading.

When he came to him, Shen Xiping, who didn't have a good cloth on his body, threw the assassin to the ground and said, "Your Highness, my lord, the last general is fortunate to have taken down this bastard." ”

Wang Xiaolai turned around, reached out and tore off the mask on the assassin's mouth, and was startled at first: "It's you!" ”

Then, Wang Xiaolai looked angry: "It turned out to be you bastard." ”

What's the matter, why Wang Xiaolai is so excited, it's very simple, because this assassin is the person who rushed into the cabin that day and captured Wang Xiaolai and Suizhu, that is, Cheng Jinde's guy.

Cui Jincan was also taken aback when he saw Cheng Jinde, that day on the boat, he just thought that he had seen the wrong person and recognized the wrong person, but when he looked at it today, not only did he not see it wrong, but he really saw it, the one who wanted to kill Sui Zhu was Cheng Jinde, no, it should be said that it was the master behind Cheng Jinde, Li Zhengxian.

"General Cheng, how could it be you? (Silla)" Choi Jinchan exclaimed.

Cheng Jinde raised his head slightly, and then smiled: "Master Cui, why can't it be me?" (Silla)"

Shen Xiping kicked over, and directly kicked Cheng Jinde's ribs several times, and then rushed angrily: "In front of Lao Tzu, don't say these bird words." ”

Cheng Jinde was in pain, and couldn't help but let out a low cry, and Cui Jincan's face on the side was not too good-looking.

What's the matter, Shen Xiping scolded Cui Jincan this time.

Wang Xiaolai squatted on the ground and squinted at Cheng Jinde: "Okay, you, your Highness Suizhu has come twice and three times, there is a kind of you." ”

Cheng Jinde grinned: "But it still didn't work." ”

It's all over, Cheng Jinde dared to provoke Wang Xiaolai, but Wang Xiaolai was angry.

It's like you've been abused by someone else, and that person is still dancing in the spring and mocking you, if it's you, are you angry?

Wang Xiaolai nodded and sneered: "Okay, it didn't work, did you, Lao Shen, lend me your prism hammer." ”

When Shen Xiping heard this, he handed over the prism hammer with one hand, Wang Xiaolai caught it with both hands, stood up, raised it above his head, and aimed at Cheng Jinde who was lying on the ground.

"My lord, be merciful!" Cui Jincan shouted loudly.

It's just that Wang Xiaolai cares about you, the prism hammer is whirring with the wind, from high down, and it falls with a bang.

Cheng Jinde was lying on the ground like a dead dog, there was no room to dodge and avoid, and he was hit on his left arm by Wang Xiaolai with a hammer, and he heard a dull sound of bone cracking, and then saw that Cheng Jinde's entire left arm had turned into a blurred mass of flesh and blood.

"Boom!"

With a muffled snort, Cheng Jinde gritted his teeth and held on, his entire left arm was crippled by Wang Xiaolai's beating, but even so, the sharp pain that pierced his heart still didn't make him admit it.

Wang Xiaolai laboriously lifted the prism hammer, and this time, it was Cheng Jinde's head that was aimed at.

Cui Jincan had already knelt under Wang Xiaolai's reluctance, begging for mercy: "My lord, General Cheng just obeyed orders, and it was His Royal Highness who wanted to harm the princess, and I ask you to forgive General Cheng's life." ”

Wang Xiao glanced at Shen Xiping next to him, the latter understood, walked towards Cui Jincan, and when he came to him, he grabbed Cui Jincan by the collar and was about to throw it outside.

And Wang Xiaolai also aimed the prism hammer at Cheng Jinde's head and smashed it down, if he was hit this time, Cheng Jinde would become a corpse even if his head was iron.

"Little Laizi, wait."

Behind his body, Suizhu's words made Wang Xiaolai have to listen, and stopped the movements in his hand, Wang Xiaolai turned his head and looked at Suizhu, his face was full of surprise: "Suizhu, what's wrong?" ”

Suizhu let go of Dongxiang in his arms, stood up, and said, "If you kill him, there will be no proof of death in front of the king of Silla." ”

Hearing this, Wang Xiaolai couldn't help frowning, what's the matter, listening to the meaning of Suizhu's words, do you want to confront the king of Silla?

But will the king of Silla call the shots for Suizhu?

"Shen Xiping, put Master Cui down." With the bead road.

"Suizhu, listen to me."

As if he was afraid that Suizhu would be soft-hearted, Wang Xiaolai stepped forward and wanted to remind Suizhu, but before the words could be spoken, he was blocked by Suizhu first.

"Xiao Laizi, you don't need to persuade me, what to do, I know it in my heart."

Hearing this, Wang Xiaolai was dumbfounded, and he didn't know what to say.

···

Far away in the imperial palace and the imperial study in Daxing City, Suiyang, the empress's face seemed to have just fallen a layer of frost.

Right under the hall, kneeling was Lu Yiping, the head of the household.

The latter's entire back was wet at this time, and he lowered his head, not to mention speaking, but to take a breath, he was extremely cautious.

"Lu Yiping, why don't you speak?"

After walking back and forth four or five times, the empress suddenly stopped, looked back at Lu Yiping, and said with a calm face.

Hearing this, Lu Yiping slammed his head to the ground four or five times, then raised his head and wept bloodily: "Your Majesty, the old minister is guilty." ”

The empress snorted, turned around and took the account book on the dragon book case, and fell on Lu Yiping's face: "Since I ascended the throne, I have been talking day and night, thinking about it all the time, not thinking about how to be thrifty, you are good, you have embezzled four million silver money from the treasury in the past two years, this is not counting before I ascended the throne, Lu Yiping, you have read so many sage books in vain!" ”

Lu Yiping also knew in his heart that this time, he was planted, and if he knew this, he adjusted the time for the construction of his back garden to be postponed, why did he hit the empress's knife on the cusp?

"Your Majesty, listen to me."

The empress was furious: "What else do you have to explain? ”

"Your Majesty, the old minister is loyal to the country, although it is not a waste of sleep and food, but he has never done anything to damage the court, the silver money used to build the back garden is all accumulated by the old minister over the years, plus the gift of the king of Guangling a few days ago, this dares to start construction, Your Majesty, the emperor and the queen of heaven, enough to prove that the old minister is white, Your Majesty."

"Then how do you explain the loss of these four million silver coins?"

How does Lu Yiping know how to explain? Or that he had no way to explain it at all, so he could only keep kowtowing and begging for mercy: "Your Majesty, the old minister really doesn't know." ‘

The empress didn't mention how annoyed she was at this time, she took several deep breaths, exhaled, and said, "Someone." ”

Two guards walked in outside the door: "Your Majesty." ”

The empress looked at Lu Yiping.

The latter's entire face had turned pale and bloodless.

"Lu Yiping, the secretary of the household department, failed to picket, resulting in a loss of four million silver dollars in the treasury, and he should have been executed, but remembering that he had worked hard for Sui Yang for 20 years, he was exempted from the death penalty."

When Lu Yiping heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and arched his hands in a fiasco: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, thank Your Majesty." ”

"However, the law is like a mountain, Lu Yiping's capital crime can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, come, Lu Yiping will be imprisoned by the elbow, removed from all positions, and placed in the court lieutenant, and I will find out the situation in the future, and then convict."

The two guards clenched their fists when they heard this: "Obey." ”

With that, he escorted Lu Yiping down.

The latter is grateful, no matter what, this fate is saved, and that's it, better than anything else.

After Lu Yiping was taken down, the empress rubbed her brows, took a deep breath, and suddenly felt that her heart was complicated, and on her shoulders, as if she had a burden of thousands of catties, she couldn't breathe, if it wasn't for the emperor, that is, her brother, who had just improved during the year of his reign, made Sui Yang, who had just improved, look like this, how could the empress become a sewing and tinker as soon as she came to power.

"Your Majesty."

At this time, Narcissus came over with a cup of tea and shouted softly.

The empress looked up when she heard the sound and sighed.

"It's you, Narcissus."

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much, although Lu Yiping said that he embezzled four million silver coins, and his crime should be punished, but this matter is not without any benefits."

The Empress looked up at Narcissus.

Just listen to Narcissus: "The Qingzhou Party has always been stubborn in the court, they have been holding together to resist Your Majesty, and now the important people among them are being caught by Your Majesty with such a handle, Weichen thinks, no matter what, they will always have to live in peace for a while." ”
