Chapter Twenty-Nine: You Can't Be Too Pityful
By the time they came out of the laughing spring breeze, it was already approaching dusk.
After hearing that the people were leaving, Bai Limo watched his prince run for Zhan Xinglan and his face was haggard, and he couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
"Lord Wang, you haven't slept all night, it's better to go back to the palace as soon as possible to rest."
"There is one more important thing that has not been done, and if it is not done, I am afraid that this king will not be able to sleep."
Fu Xuanlin regained his fierce color.
With just one look, Baili Mo understood it.
"My subordinates understand."
In the capital, the news of Fu Xuanlin's rescue of Zhan Xinglan is well known.
Ke Wanning was so angry that she smashed it in her boudoir.
What silver filigree carved glazed cup, Hetian jade Ruyi, ice cream flower celadon...... All kinds of priceless treasures were smashed to pieces by her.
"Go and call me Xi Li'er!"
"Yes, the maid will go."
The little maid stood in the corner trembling, and she looked at the mess all over the place, and there was nowhere to put her feet.
Once upon a time, there was a seven or eight-year-old little maid who inadvertently touched the jade hairpin smashed by Ke Wanning with her foot, and all ten of her toenails were pulled out the next day.
The blood-drenched scene was horrible.
In Ke Wanning's world, people with low status are dirty.
Even if she didn't want something, she couldn't touch these cheap skins with her feet.
"Go! Don't touch my stuff! ”
Ke Wanning's chest rose and fell, and she smashed another piece of jade pendant out.
"The lady is angry, the lady is angry, the servant is going."
The little maid had no choice but to kneel, her hands and knees on the ground, her feet in the air, and she knelt down from the sharp pieces of broken porcelain and jade.
Ke Wanning looked at her and shed tears in pain, but she didn't have any sympathy.
"Kneel so slowly, are you a waste!"
The little maid had to kneel faster.
It wasn't until she knelt out of the door that she barely stood up with the door, and ran outside without caring about the injuries on her body.
After a while, a small guy hurried in.
"Lady, please be a princess."
"I see."
Ke Wanning stood up, swept away the pile of garbage in front of her with her feet, and then strode out of the boudoir.
At this time, in the front hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, a bloody storm with no swords, guns and halberds was slowly unfolding.
A wisp of sandalwood swirls around a room.
Fu Xuanlin sat upright on the seat, his eyes swept the incense burner on his side, and he sighed secretly in his heart.
Just a bottle of turtle and crane prolonging purple gold incense burner is already a million gold, and it is conceivable that this Ke Xiang is also spending money on a fair day.
It is said that Ke Xiang loves his daughter like his life, and he does not hesitate to spend gold and silver to decorate Ke Wanning's boudoir, but he didn't expect him to be so willing to spend money on himself.
Ke Jingfeng stood at the center end and looked at the confession, and said with a stiff smile:
"Your Royal Highness, what do you mean by this?"
"Ke Xianggong is a smart person, the lady of the Ming Guogong family was abducted last night, and the streets and alleys know about it, presumably even if the Jingzhao Mansion does not interrogate more, the Ming Guogong will investigate it to the end."
"Just a confession can't prove that the little girl did it."
Fu Xuanlin couldn't help but sneer when he saw that he was still dying.
"Okay, this king still wants to save some face for Ke Xianggong, since Ke Xianggong wants other evidence, then this king will give you evidence."
As soon as the words fell, Baili Mo took out a piece of rice paper from his arms and offered it to Ke Jingfeng.
"This is a copy of the Jin Wanyu Jewelry Company's trading catalogue copied by the king, which records in detail that Ke Niangzi once bought a light amethyst hairpin and a bracelet at the Jin Wanyu Jewelry Store. And this king happened to be at the back door of the Ming State Mansion and found this crystal stone. ”
"There are so many daughters and nobles in the capital, and the crystal stone hairpin is not only available to the little girl. His Royal Highness King Ling is still young, so the matter of handling the case should be handled by Jingzhao Mansion. ”
Ke Jingfeng smiled dumbly, folded the rice paper and threw it to Bailimo.
In the face of Ke Jingfeng's ridicule, Fu Xuanlin was not annoyed, but laughed more openly than him.
Ke Xiang didn't understand pearl jewelry, so he naturally didn't know how precious this light amethyst stone was, and he didn't know that Ke Niangzi bought all the light amethyst stones on the second day of Jin Wanyu's listing. In other words, except for Ke Niangzi, there is no second person in the whole capital who has this crystal stone. ”
Ke Jingfeng's smile froze on his face in an instant.
In the next second, Ke Wanning walked in.
As soon as she saw His Royal Highness King Ling, she couldn't help but feel empty, changed her previous appearance of showing her teeth and claws, and saluted him respectfully.
"Your Royal Highness King Ling, why are you here?"
"If this king doesn't come again, what Ke Niangzi has done will make Ke Xianggong's innocence become the laughing stock of the world."
Ke Wanning didn't dare to look at his eyes, and kept hanging his head.
"What His Royal Highness King Ling said, Wan Ning can't understand."
Fu Xuanlin looked at the father and daughter quite playfully.
Neither of them could muster a brain, and if it weren't for the protection of the prince, they probably wouldn't be alive today.
"Don't understand? Then the king had no choice but to go to His Majesty and tell him how Ke Niangzi bought Ding Wei and Pingsi, and how they kidnapped the daughter of the Duke of Jieseming. If Your Majesty hears that Ke Xiang's daughter is so vicious, I don't know how he will feel about Ke Xiang. ”
Fu Xuanlin turned his face cold, became angry, and got up.
Suddenly, Ke Jingfeng knelt down in front of him and stopped him.
"His Royal Highness King Ling is slow, she is an old man and a daughter, even if she is lawless. This matter must not be told to His Majesty, if His Royal Highness King Ling raises his noble hand, the old man is willing to serve His Royal Highness. ”
Although Ke Jingfeng is a little stupid, he can still distinguish the pros and cons.
If you settle it privately, you will just lose your face at home.
If His Majesty knew, he would definitely be punished for his lack of discipline and poor governance of his family, and his old face would be thrown into the whole cold country.
Once his reputation is notorious, it may be difficult for him to keep his position as a public minister.
Fu Xuanlin ignored Ke Jingfeng, but stared at Ke Wanning deadly, "What about Mrs. Ke?" ”
Ke Wanning saw Ke Jingfeng kneeling down, and her mentality also collapsed.
Tears fell down, and as soon as his legs went limp, he knelt down.
"I admit it, I instructed those two blacksmiths to tie up Zhan Xinglan, I was jealous that she hated her, and I listened to Xi Li'er's instigation for a while."
Ke Wanning cried as she crawled to Fu Xuanlin's feet and looked up at him, her hands tightly pulling Fu Xuanlin's robe.
"His Royal Highness King Ling, I will go to apologize to Zhan Xinglan and make amends to her, please don't tell Your Majesty."
Fu Xuanlin stared at her, thinking of the picture of Zhan Xinglan lying on the pile of dry grass with pale face and messy hair, and there was a nameless fire burning in his heart.
"Okay, since Mrs. Ke has confessed to everything, then I will draw a pledge as evidence."
Fu Xuanlin stretched out his left hand, and Baili Mo immediately put the pre-prepared confession in his hand.
"Draw, draw?"
Ke Wanning burst into tears, her hand loosened Fu Xuanlin's robe, and the whole person obviously dodged back.
"This king is not a person who is difficult for a strong man, if Ke Niangzi is unwilling, then this king will leave first."
"Wait!"
Ke Jingfeng can understand that King Ling is not here to ask about the guilt, but to pinch their father and daughter.
"Wanning, let's draw a charge."
Ke Wanning looked at Ke Jingfeng in disbelief, unable to believe her ears.
"Father?"
Ke Jingfeng was furious, and only hated that his daughter had left traces of her work, so that King Ling had caught the handle.
"You have done such a despicable thing, and His Royal Highness King Ling has been gracious for not letting you go to prison, is it possible that you want the entire Ke clan to pay the price for the stupid thing you have done? Your eldest brother is about to die, you have to think about him. ”
"Okay, I'll draw it."
Ke Wanning propped herself on the ground, staggered to her feet, and walked to the table.
She stretched out her right thumb, dipped it in ink, and pressed it on top of the confession.
"It's none of your business here, go down."
Fu Xuanlin didn't even want to look at her more, so he picked up the confession and handed it to Bailimo.
"Yes."
Ke Wanning was frightened and regretted it to the extreme.
She left the front hall with a sob, and happened to see Xi Li'er, who was standing not far away and was arrested by the guards of the Lingwang Mansion.
"Slut! It's all because of you! ”
Ke Wanning was angry, and rushed towards Xi Li'er with a slap.
Xi Li'er's cheeks were fanned out with five finger prints.
She turned her head to look at Ke Wanning, whose eyes were red, and immediately squeezed out two or two tears from her eyes.
"Ke Niangzi, I ......"
Without waiting for Xi Li'er to finish speaking, Ke Wanning slapped her again.
"Slut! You're the one who hurt me! ”
Fu Xuanlin glanced at Baili Mo when he heard the movement, and Bai Li Mo understood and walked out of the front hall with his head bowed.
When the two guards saw Bailimo, they hurriedly said: "Baili Dianjun, this woman is sneaking around outside the door, and we will arrest her." ”
"Well, well done." Baili Mo answered and looked at Ke Wanning.
"Ke Niangzi, my prince knows that Ke Niangzi and Xi Niangzi have something to say, so he simply handed it over to Ke Niangzi, I believe that Ke Niangzi has suffered a loss, and she will not easily spare the culprit."
Ke Wanning's eyes were full of resentment, and she looked at Xi Li'er viciously.
"That's nature!"
Bai Limo said to the two guards: "Give this Xi Niangzi to Ke Niangzi." ”
"Yes!"
Xi Li'er listened to the conversation between them, and then suddenly realized that the Ke family had already formed a group with King Ling.
She was firmly restrained by the Xiangfu Nursing Hospital, and reluctantly followed Ke Wanning to the backyard.
At this time, in the front hall, Fu Xuanlin had already helped Ke Jingfeng up.
"When the king's legs healed, Ke Xianggong visited him several times, and the king was very moved. This king has long been close, but unfortunately Ke Xianggong seems to have always been obedient to the prince. ”
Ke Jingfeng sat on the chair and clutched the armrest of the chair tightly.
"Your Royal Highness is serious, the old man is not actually towards the prince, but the prince is the prince of the country, and the old man is just doing his duty."
"Ke Xianggong has been able to dominate the court for many years, and he must know how to act in the future without the need for this king."
Fu Xuanlin said meaningfully.
Ke Jingfeng smiled bitterly, he had been crisscrossing the temples for many years, but finally fell into the hands of an inconspicuous prince.
This King Ling acts neatly and neatly, and he is not chaotic in case of danger, he can endure for many years and turn over once, which is indeed much stronger than the prince.
Maybe it's a good opportunity to assist King Ling.
Ke Jingfeng didn't dare to say anything else, he was very experienced in the technique of leaving and right sources.
"King Ling's palace enters the court, if there is a place to find the old man, just open his mouth, the old man will do his best."
"Yesterday, Mrs. Ke sent the king a list of officials and detailed books of disasters in Hebei Province over the years, I don't know ......."
"The old man immediately sent someone to send all these to King Ling's Mansion."
Ke Jingfeng was courteous, but he felt a little bitter in his heart.
He originally wanted Wanning's hand to hand over these things to King Ling, which was regarded as letting King Ling accept his kindness, but now he was pinched by King Ling, this little prince is really not to be underestimated.
"Then there will be a prince of Lao Ke, and the hour will not be early, and this king will take his leave."
Fu Xuanlin hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, got up and strode out of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The sky was slightly dark, Ke Jingfeng watched Fu Xuanlin's back gradually drift away, and he was in a trance for a while, he was exactly the same as Emperor Jing when he was young.
When the carriage of Lingwangfu drove away, a small servant ran over in a panic and said with an embarrassed face:
"Xianggong, the lady will make a fuss, and Mrs. Xi is about to be beaten to death."
