Chapter 43: The speed of confession

As he spoke, Chu Tingxiao set his eyes on the two snow wolves in the cage who were lazily lying on their stomachs, and their eyes were full of murderous intent.

Xiao Yan stood silently aside, his phoenix eyes sank a little, the sweetness in his mouth disappeared, and he was bitter again.

When he was thinking about how to save the lives of the two snow wolves, Chu Yi curled the corners of his lips and comforted his father:

"In fact, when Yongning stood in front of Qianqian, he had a feeling in his heart that the wolf would not hurt himself, so he was so brave. Father, you see, Yongning is not fine, so don't blame the two wolves, they just want to eat a piece of roast meat. ”

Chu Tingxiao's killing intent dissipated a little, then turned around and asked, "What happened to that crazy beast?" ”

"Your Majesty, the one who was stabbed in the heart by Cen Duwei has already lost his breath."

Chu Tingxiao hesitated for a moment, and finally said coldly in front of Chu Yi: "Peel it and cramp it, crush the bones and scatter ashes." ”

To his relief, Liuliu didn't show any frightened expression, and it seemed that this snow wolf didn't have any shadow on her.

"Whew-"

Erlang in the cage yawned suddenly, and then continued to close his eyes to recuperate, completely without the consciousness that his "third brother" was finished.

Maybe it's not its third brother, Chu Yi held his forehead and couldn't help but glance at Xiao Yan.

What kind of wolf is he, how can he look more and more like a dog.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yan was also looking at her with a complicated look.

Chu Yi's ears are hot, don't look over.

"Fortunately, your two wolves didn't hurt Liuliu and the county lord of Yongjia," Chu Tingxiao walked in front of the snow wolf, his voice was cold and mellow, and Da Lang looked at him with a confused expression, "If you really have a spirit, you should know that it was Liuliu who saved your life." ”

"How's the cage inspected?"

Zhang Desheng presented a thumb-thick iron rope and said: "Your Majesty, this cage is made of fine iron, and it is locked with iron chains, only the captain on duty in the wolf garden has the key, and the cage before is indeed locked, but it is ......"

"Just what?" Chu Tingxiao looked at the iron cable, narrowed his eyes, and his voice became colder and colder, "The matter of the guards in the Wolf Park is in charge of the Yulin Army, and the captain on duty today is ...... Cen Xiao? ”

"In order to protect the princess county lord, Cen Duwei was injured by the snow wolf and has been carried to the hospital."

Zhang Desheng glanced at Xiao Yan and continued: "It's just that Gongzi Yan gave this broken iron cable to the slave just now, and the slave saw that there were many cracks on the iron cable, so the slave guessed that the iron cable may be in disrepair, or it may be corroded by rainwater, and the cracks are small, and you won't find it if you don't check it carefully, once the iron cage is hit, the iron cable will break, so after the three wolves smell the food, they can rush out of the cage without any resistance." ”

"So, it was the Yulin Army who neglected to check the iron cable, and the snow wolf himself went crazy and crashed into the cage?" Chu Ting said, the afterglow swept over Yi Concubine's weak face, and a sharp light flashed in her dark and deep eyes.

"Yes......" Zhang Desheng replied cautiously.

Chu Tingxiao looked around: "The supervision is not effective, Cen Xiao, the left captain of the Yulin Army, will be fined for one year, thinking that he was injured by a wolf when he saved people, and allowed him to go back to the house to heal his injuries and meditate on his own mistakes." In addition, the other guards who are on duty in the wolf park today ...... Expelled me from the Yulin Army, and all of them will be held accountable in prison! ”

"Your Majesty spares your life, Your Majesty spares your lifeβ€”"

Hearing the emperor's words, the guards of the Wolf Garden knelt down one by one, wailing and begging for mercy.

Chu Tingxiao said coldly: "I don't want your life, but if you act like this, you should be punished." ”

Chu Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Yi Concubine who was hiding in the corner.

How could it be so coincidental, Liu Cheng didn't come to change shifts with Cen Xiao today, and the other guards in the Wolf Park were all imprisoned, and Liu Cheng just escaped the catastrophe-

Yi Concubine...... There must be a problem.

Suddenly, there was a shout in the distance: "Your Majesty, outsiders dare not approach the iron cage, it is the ministers who neglect to inspect and cause a big disaster, and it has nothing to do with others, and I hope Your Majesty will not blame others!" ”

"Cen Xiao!?"

Fu Qianqian shouted in surprise.

Chu Yi raised his eyebrows, and saw Cen Xiao limping in front of Chu Tingxiao, kneeling down with a "poof".

The young man's face turned pale, wiped a handful of tears, and said loudly: "The minister almost killed the princess and county lord, and also made the palace maid Cui'er lose her life...... Minister, the sin deserves death! ”

Chu Yi looked at Cen Xiao's freshly bandaged leg and didn't know what to say.

Should she say Cen Xiao is stupid, or upright?

Zhang Desheng said that the cracks on the iron cable cannot be found without looking carefully, and there are so many Yulin troops on duty in the wolf park every day, and he and Liu Cheng are also on duty in turn, why should he be in front?

What's more, he killed the wolf desperately, which was a credit, and when he said so, his sin was greater than the merit, because Cui'er died.

"Father, Gonggong Zhang also said that the iron cable may have been corroded by the rain, or it may have been in disrepair, and it just rained a few days ago, and it is understandable that the guards were overlooked for a while, and I hope that my father will forgive Captain Cen Duwei." Chu Yi said.

Fu Qianqian came back to her senses and looked at Cen Xiao with embarrassment.

The young man who was still arrogant and proud and looked down on women before had become a criminal on his knees in less than half an hour.

However, he was a little responsible, he killed the crazy wolf alone at the critical moment, and now he took the initiative to stand up and take the blame on himself, Fu Qianqian thought, and the dissatisfaction with Cen Xiao in his heart dissipated a lot.

"Uncle, after all, Cen Duwei has a meritorious role in killing wolves, and he is also injured......" She also interceded for Cen Xiao with Chu Yi.

Chu Tingxiao's eyes were dark, this time, he didn't listen to Chu Yi's words, and said: "Since you said that your crime deserves death, then you will go to the edict to receive the punishment yourself, and the punishment will not be used, just ...... Dismissal. ”

"Father."

"Uncle ......"

Before Chu Yi and Fu Qianqian could say anything, Cen Xiao simply kowtowed: "The minister confesses!" ”

Chu Yi: "......"

The speed of her plea can't keep up with the speed of Cen Xiao's confession.

Never mind.

Cen Xiao was still injured, and after confessing his guilt, he was pulled down under Fu Qianqian's guilty gaze.

Before leaving, he bowed deeply to Chu Yi, bowed to the courtier, and his voice was loud: "Princess, the minister is indeed wrong, the minister should not be prejudiced against the princess, let alone despise women." ”

He looked at Fu Qianqian again and said seriously: "The county lord of Yongjia does not have to feel guilty for the ministers, the ministers are not effective in supervision, this is the punishment that should be received; The county lord doesn't have to blame himself, in the face of wild beasts, anyone will be afraid, presumably there will be a next time, and the county lord will not let the princess stand in front of you again. ”

"Thank you." Fu Qianqian's eyes turned red again, and she gently bowed her head.

Chu Tingxiao nodded secretly, still maintaining a serious expression on his face.

"Thanks to Gongzi Yan for appearing in time to protect the two of you." When Cen Xiao left, Chu Tingxiao withdrew his gaze and looked at Xiao Yan.

His voice softened: "Xiao Yan, you have a meritorious escort, what reward do you want?" ”

Xiao Yan lowered his eyes and said, "The foreign minister has nothing else to ask for. ”
