Chapter 222: The Scarlet King's Warning
Old lady Su was depressed for a while, and she turned her back on it.
Su Mingtang and Xing hurriedly asked their subordinates to carry Old Lady Su back, but fortunately, before Xing invited a doctor to see Su Xiruo's illness, someone rushed to Su Xiruo's courtyard to invite the doctor to Old Lady Su's side.
When Su Mingtang hurried to the front yard, Scarlet King Ling Xiaotian had already been waiting in the living room for a long time.
"Lord Scarlet." Su Mingtang stepped forward and saluted.
Ling Xiaotian's fingertips rubbed the edge of the tea cup and crossed his feet. Leisurely appearance: "Lord Su is busy with family affairs, but this king is disturbing." ”
Recently, the Scarlet King has shown his head and feet in the court, how dare Su Mingtang hold it up, and he has been guilty again and again.
The Scarlet King's eyebrows rose, and a smile appeared in the peach blossom eyes, "Su Sanye's case is decided, and this king will come to inform you for a while, so that you can be prepared." ”
Su Mingtang's face was pale, what kind of preparation, is it preparing to collect the corpse?
"When was the case decided?" He remembered that when he quietly asked someone to inquire the day before yesterday, he hadn't heard that the case was going to be finalized, so why did it take only one day to make a decision?
"It's set for today." The corners of the Scarlet King's lips rose. There was a hint of coldness in his smile, "The case is decided, but some things can't be understood by beheading the criminal." ”
The ghost face stood behind Ling Xiaotian, and the hideous mask covered the helpless look on his face: It was indeed a case decided today, and it was after hearing that Su Baitong was calculated by his stepmother and was about to marry the stupid little marquis of the Anqing Hou Mansion.
After the Scarlet King got the news. Immediately, he brought the fold into the palace, and it didn't take half an hour. The emperor circled the case.
Hearing the words of the Scarlet Prince, Su Mingtang couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Scarlet Prince, what do you mean by this?" ”
In the case of smuggling military rations, only Su Sanye was involved in the Su Mansion, but the Scarlet Lord clearly had another meaning in what he said just now. On the history of the drawing.
The scarlet prince put down the teacup, "Lord Su must have heard about it, the emperor recently handed over an errand to this king, to investigate and deal with the case of corruption of officials in the court, before Lord Su often went to the criminal department to inquire because of the third brother's affairs, and now although the case is decided, but this king has found out that there are officials of the criminal department who have taken bribes privately, and someone confessed that Lord Su wanted to bribe officials to exonerate your third brother before......"
The cold sweat on Su Mingtang's body broke out all of a sudden.
Officials privately collect some money to do things for each other, which is nothing in normal times. Why is it now in the mouth of the scarlet prince that it has become a crime to help the prisoner get rid of the crime?
He can't afford it.
Su Mingtang only felt that his throat was dry and his throat was on fire, and he swallowed his saliva with difficulty, "Lord Scarlet, I went to the Criminal Department before Xia Guan just to inquire about the news of the third brother, because my father is old, and he is worried about it, and he has no intention of getting rid of the crime!" ”
"If you don't want to get away with it, why should you bribe with money?"
Su Mingtang didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
This kind of thing has long been an unwritten rule in the DPRK and China, and the various ministries have communicated with each other, and they always have to take out money to get things done.
The scarlet prince stood up, "This king's words have come to this point, I hope that Lord Su has a good idea in his heart, and the imperial doctor of the court has also intervened in this matter, and there are not a few officials who have been impeached recently." ”
Su Mingtang's eyes widened in surprise.
Since he has been an official in the court. has always been cautious, never took the initiative to offend anyone, and did not lean towards any faction, but I didn't expect to taste the taste of impeachment one day.
At this time, the scarlet prince had already turned around and walked outside the door, and suddenly he stopped, and said as if he remembered something: "By the way, the emperor also sent this king to help Miss Su find a suitable shop, since it has come today, then please Miss Su and this king work hard, there are two shops in the east of the city, this king looks good, take her to see it today." ”
Su Mingtang was puzzled: "This ...... I'm afraid it's inconvenient, right? ”
The Scarlet King sneered, "What's inconvenient? ”
Su Mingtang choked.
Even if he was ordered by the emperor, in the final analysis, Su Baitong was still a girl who had not left the boudoir, how could he follow the scarlet prince to go out of the house.
"Mrs. Zun can invite the little marquis of the Marquis Mansion of Anqing to accompany the young ladies of the Su Mansion to play pottery bell ball, why is it inconvenient for the king to invite Miss Su to go out to see the shop?"
If Su Mingtang was just embarrassed just now, now it has become terrifying.
"Wang ...... How do you know about this, my lord? ”
Ling Xiaotian's smile stretched, "Master Su has forgotten, this is Kyoto, and at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there is no secret that can be hidden." ”
Su Mingtang felt that all the hair on his head was going to stand up.
Mrs. An Qinghou went back with her stupid son, didn't Xing tell her not to preach it everywhere?
"Who else does Lord Su want to blame now?" The Scarlet Prince seemed to have seen through his thoughts a long time ago, "The people of the Anqing Marquis Mansion are happy now, their little Marquis is about to get married, no matter who carries it into the door, anyway, they have to do this family business." ”
Su Mingtang's expression froze on his face, if Su Mansion didn't agree to this family affair, presumably Anqing Houfu would spread Su Xiruo's affairs all over the world, and if Su Xiru didn't talk about marrying in the future, even those saliva could drown her.
Ling Xiaotian had already left the living room at this time.
Su Mingtang was busy calling someone to pass a message to Su Baitong.
After a while, Huixiang came, but Su Baitong was missing.
"The slave has seen His Royal Highness the Scarlet King." Because she had seen it many times before, Hui Xiang didn't feel particularly nervous when she faced Ling Xiaotian, "Our young lady will go back and freshen up, and please wait for a while." ”
Ling Xiaotian didn't react, Su Mingtang's face showed displeasure, he couldn't wait to send this ancestor away quickly.
"Grind and rub, what it looks like!" He reprimanded.
Huixiang lowered her head, a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes, and replied: "Miss cut her hair in the front hall just now, and as a result, she cut off a strand of hair, and it would be rude to come out with it, so I will go back and freshen up first." ”
Ling Xiaotian's mind suddenly appeared in Su Baitong's scattered hair, withering like a falling flower, as if a fire was exploding in his chest.
Su Mingtang saw that the usual smile on the face of the scarlet prince was gone, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of cold chills.
He couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.
"Master Su is really a good family style." Ling Xiaotian sneered, "Since Lord Su feels that Miss Su is in the mansion and is an eyesore, it is better for this king to call the shots and remove her from your genealogy." ”
It is a great shame to be removed from the family tree, and you will not be able to raise your head wherever you go in the future.
But at the moment, Su Baitong's matter is exactly the opposite.
If she is really removed from the Su Mansion genealogy, people will only laugh at Su Fu's vision for being too high, and her stepmother can't tolerate the eldest daughter in the front room, and even those who have been summoned by the emperor will be removed......
In the future, he will also become the laughing stock of officials in the DPRK.
Seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, Ling Xiaotian flicked his sleeves and went out of the mansion first, but he dropped a sentence: "It seems that Master Su is not completely confused, you can do it yourself."
