Chapter 9: The Wicked Minister

I had a good night's sleep, so much so that Ning Chaoyang woke up the next day and suddenly didn't know where he was.

In the distance, noisy chickens are crowing, the aunt next door is arguing with the vegetable seller, the wheelbarrow is running over the stone slab at the door, and the water that has been washed is splashed on the ground and flows out all the way.

The brilliant spring light pierced through the noise and fell right in the palm of her hand.

Such a small and noisy movement, Ning Chaoyang had not heard it for a long time.

She leaned against the head of the bed and thought for a while before getting up to wash up and sit down at the table.

On the small square table, there is a clear porridge that is still warm, and a dish of wild vegetables is placed in front of the porridge bowl, which is bright in color and fragrant.

It's never something she'll eat.

- But it's coming.

Happily curling the corners of her lips, she sat down with her clothes folded, picked up the chopsticks and put them on the table, and was eager to try the wild vegetable.

"Your Excellency!" The coachman hurriedly ran to the door and gave her hands, "There is a commotion outside the palace gate, Lord Cheng has sent a message to you to hurry over and have a look." ”

The chopsticks paused half an inch away from the wild vegetables, and Ning Chaoyang raised his eyes dissatisfiedly: "I'll talk about it when I'm done eating." ”

I wanted to pick up the vegetables again, but the coachman was so anxious that he shook his head: "No, Lord Qin and Master Hua are not here today, if you don't go over, Lord Cheng is in danger." ”

What is close at hand, but you can't eat it.

The corners of his mouth slowly straightened, and Ning Chaoyang put down his chopsticks and got up.

Not far from the palace gate, there have been two circles of people in front of Yongding Fang, brocade clothes and officials, arguing endlessly.

"What kind of evidence and material evidence are there, Zhang Yongan has been following the emperor for many years, and if he is convicted, he will be convicted, I think you are clearly taking revenge for personal gain!" The tall Zhonglang raised his eyebrows angrily, and the whip in his hand almost hit Cheng Youxue on the opposite side with one finger.

Cheng Youxue turned her head sideways and frowned: "The case has been concluded, and the seal of the Son of Heaven has been stamped on the file, so I have a clear conscience in Fengling Pavilion." ”

"Since you have a clear conscience, why did you stop me from entering the palace?"

Nonsense, the eldest princess can only go back to the palace for dinner one day a month, and these people are picking the days to make trouble, how can she not stop her.

Cheng Youxue opened his mouth to speak, but Zhao Langjiang listened impatiently, and the long whip hit the ground, splashing three inches of dust: "Get out of the way!" ”

The heavy and loud sound sounded terrifying, and Cheng Youxue couldn't help but shrink his shoulders.

When the other side saw her reaction, he immediately became even more arrogant: "Yo, scared? ”

He took two steps closer and snorted: "With this little guts, what kind of official should you be, why don't you go back with me to be a petite?" I will be ready to treat you. ”

There was laughter all around, and Zhao Langjiang also laughed, raising his hand to grab her.

A hand came from behind and put Cheng Youxue's shoulder before him.

In the next moment, Cheng Youxue was taken back half a step, and someone was out of position and kicked Zhao Langjiang's chest violently.

Bang –

The strength was so strong that Zhao Lang was defenseless, his body shrank back uncontrollably, his hands and feet stretched forward, and the whole person rose into the air, and the ridicule on his face suddenly turned into stunned.

The slow scene sped up suddenly, and he fell out on his stomach like a ball of cotton wool, and after the loud noise, the dust was half a foot away.

"Your Excellency!" The people around hurriedly gathered around.

Cheng Youxue raised her eyes in surprise, and saw a person standing in front of her with her sleeves brushed.

"Yo." She smiled in the tone of the lieutenant general, "Flew out?" ”

Zhao Lang coughed a few times and brushed the guards away, annoyed: "Ning Chaoyang! ”

It's her again!

The sky was bright, and Ning Chaoyang stood against the light, his eyebrows were like frost, and his eyes were sneering.

She took two slow steps forward, and a dark shadow crept up the man's face.

"What's wrong?" Ask questions kindly.

Zhao Langjiang subconsciously wanted to shrink back, turned his head sideways and found that there were more than 20 guards behind him, so he immediately stood up with his chest covered: "You and I are both four products, you actually beat people on the street, it is too much of a deception!" ”

That's right.

Ning Chaoyang nodded: "Then why don't you call back?" ”

“……”

provoked to this point, if he can endure it anymore, he will be the king!

Zhao Lang poured his anger into the heavenly spirit, and rushed forward with a loud shout.

Ning Chaoyang stood still and didn't move, waiting for the person to get close before turning his head sideways, dodging his windy long whip, and then turned back, swept under his legs, and put the person back to the ground.

"That's it." She followed his tone again, "What kind of lieutenant general?" ”

Zhao Lang's face turned red, and he raised his hand to fight, but Ning Chaoyang grabbed his wrists, tied him tightly with a long whip a few times, and tied him behind his back with a pull.

"What are you doing in a daze!" He was angry and in pain, and immediately roared, "Give it to me!" ”

The more than 20 guards behind him who were stunned came back to their senses and drew their swords out of their sheaths one after another.

Ning Chaoyang stepped on the knot and slowly straightened up, revealing a dark and heavy armor behind him.

Boom Boom.

More than 50 city defense guards came in array, its speed was like the wind, moving like thunder, and it arrived in front of Yongding Fang in the blink of an eye.

"Your Excellency." The leader bowed at her side.

Ning Chaoyang nodded.

Looking at the guards on the other side, the unsheathed knives were all put back.

"You!" General Zhao Lang was still unconvinced, "If you have the ability, kill me, I don't believe that there is no justice at all in front of the gate of the imperial city and at the feet of the Son of Heaven!" ”

"Justice?"

Ning Chaoyang half-squatted down in his robe, and nodded with a smile, "Okay, now let's talk about justice." ”

"Zhang Yongan has served in the forbidden area for many years, and he doesn't think about the matter of loyalty to the king, but he has formed a gang in a vain attempt to cover the eyes and ears of the saint, what crime should he be guilty of?"

"What crime should he be guilty of poisoning the things given by the emperor and murdering the courtiers?"

Zhao Langjiang frowned: "Don't tell me this, he is the emperor, how can he be put on death row by you?" ”

"The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, what kind of thing is he?"

Angry, Zhao Lang said angrily: "He is willing to pay for his life to kill you, a wicked minister, in my opinion, he is loyal, filial, benevolent and righteous, but you, who lead the benevolent monarch, but you are the claws of others, helping to abuse the tiger, you should be put on death row!" ”

Losing his patience, Ning Chaoyang got up with a cold face and bowed slightly towards the city defense guards behind him.

Jingwei understood, and the dark and heavy armor suddenly rushed past her.

"Let go of me, I am the Zhonglang general of the Holy Lord, how dare you drag!"

"Let go—"

The struggles and cries grew away from each other, and slowly they were no longer heard.

Calm was restored in front of Yongding Fang.

Ning Chaoyang flicked his sleeves and was about to leave, but suddenly heard a voice say: "Lord Ning is too domineering to act like this. ”

With a slight frown, she stopped.

Shen Yanming stood in the crowd in his usual clothes, gentle and elegant, with sighs in his eyes.

He said: "When Xi Bian Que saw Cai Huangong, he couldn't accept the four persuasions and retreated, but now Zhonglang will only open his mouth once, and the adults will drag people away." If this matter is really reported to the emperor, I am afraid that the adults will not take care of it. ”

The wind rose on the royal street, blowing her scarlet official robe.

The corners of the robe flew up, and the flags in front of the street shops hunted together.
