Chapter 159: The Tiger

"Prime Minister Xiao has arrived!"

Xu Jing had just given the order to leave, when a voice came from not far away.

saw a richly decorated carriage slowly approaching and stopped not far from Xu Jing.

"Isn't this person already unconscious? How can you still be so alive now? ”

Xu Jing watched Xiao Daoling slowly walk down from the carriage and muttered secretly.

"Your Majesty, do you want to get up?"

Gonggong Cao cautiously asked Xu Jing.

"Wait, I'd like to see what this old puppet is going to do."

Xu Jing waved his hand and sneered at Xiao Daoling, who was constantly approaching.

"Chen Xiao Daoling greets Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live! ”

I saw Xiao Daoling kneeling in front of Xu Jing's carriage and said loudly.

"When will Prime Minister Xiao wake up? Why didn't you give me a word in advance? ”

Xu Jing walked down slowly, looked at Xiao Daoling with a sneer and asked.

Xiao Daoling's face did not change, and he said calmly: "The minister knows that His Majesty's affairs are busy, so he does not dare to disturb and wait until his body recovers before he comes to see His Majesty." ”

Xu Jing turned his head and stared at Gonggong Cao without a look.

But this look is enough to make Gonggong Cao's heart split!

What does Xu Jing's look mean, Gonggong Cao is not too stupid to understand.

He immediately fell to his knees and shouted, "Your Majesty is clear! Jin Yiwei did not know about Prime Minister Xiao's recovery, and it was definitely not a slave who deliberately concealed it. Please also Your Majesty to be clear! ”

"Why should Cao Gong be afraid? The revival of Prime Minister Xiao is a matter of great joy, how can I punish you? Just leave it to light. ”

Xu Jing said that he would take over the matter, but Gonggong Cao became more and more afraid in his heart.

This is clearly that Xu Jing wants to save enough face for him in front of people, and then double the punishment after people!

Gonggong Cao was so frightened that his face was close to the ground, and his whole body trembled.

Xu Jing looked back at Xiao Daoling and sneered: "I don't know when Prime Minister Xiao has just recovered, why did he come here?" ”

Xiao Daoling raised his head and looked directly at Xu Jing: "The minister is here, in order to persuade Your Majesty, don't act recklessly, chill the hearts of the world's scholars!" ”

Xu Jing, who had expected it, sneered and asked: "I don't know what Prime Minister Xiao said, I have chilled the hearts of the world's scholars, where did such a big hat come from?" ”

"Now that all the people are here, Prime Minister Xiao must be cautious in his words and deeds."

Xiao Daoling has the so-called world's scholars as the backing, is it possible that he Xu Jing does not have his own backing?

Yes! The people in front of him are Xu Jing's biggest backing!

is the world's subordinate soldiers, no matter how sharp the penmanship is? After all, it is difficult to defeat the mouth of all the people in the world!

With such a large base of supporters, why should Xu Jing be afraid of the scholars that Xiao Daoling said?

"The minister's words have been considered, and the minister asks His Majesty to take back his order!"

Xiao Daoling's face did not change, and he shouted.

"Oh? Prime Minister Xiao still has to come up with a reasonable explanation, otherwise, how can I break my word before the people? ”

Xu Jing sneered, completely ignored what Xiao Daoling said, and continued to ask.

"Your Majesty alluded to the presence of thousands of people in connection with the death of five hundred young men and women. Is there any evidence? ”

Xiao didn't change his face and continued to ask.

"The file in my hand is the greatest evidence! These people, without exception, are involved in it. Cut it according to the law! ”

Xu Jing sneered, raised the file in his hand and said.

"Your Majesty is wrong, the answer in Your Majesty's hands can only prove that everyone present, everyone is related to prostitution, but it can't prove that you are killing people!"

Xiao Daoling shook his head and vetoed the file in Xu Jing's hand.

"What? So far, do you still have to quibble? If Prime Minister Xiao can't come up with a reasonable answer, I will arrest Prime Minister Xiao as written. ”

Xu Jing stared at Xiao Daoling expressionlessly and said.

At the same time, Xu Jing was also a little more uneasy in his heart.

I'm afraid that this file was meant to set up a situation from the beginning to make Xu Jing angry.

Indeed, everything written in it is true, but it lacks many key corroborations.

As Xiao Daoling said, the files in Xu Jing's hands can only prove that these officials and old bustards were involved in this matter, but they cannot directly prove that they participated in the killing.

"Your Majesty, you keep saying that these people are involved in the killing. But you may not have real evidence. If you are afraid, you should not kill hastily. ”

Otherwise, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will definitely be panicked and unable to sleep and eat. Presumably, Your Majesty doesn't want the Manchu Dynasty to be as sincere and fearful as Hongjing once was, right? ”

Xiao Daoling sneered again and again, and was sure that Xu Jing could not come up with key evidence to suppress Xu Jing.

even threatened Xu Jing with the old things of the Great Qianhongjing Dynasty.

Hongjing was hundreds of years away from Xu Jing, and the emperor of that dynasty believed in Jinyiwei and wantonly pampered the eunuchs.

As a result, the bureaucrats everywhere in the world are eunuchs or Jinyiwei's cronies, which makes the people of the government and the opposition panic.

Emperor Hongjing died in the assassination.

"I have my own measure in what I do. Even if you didn't participate in the murder, you still can't escape from abducting and selling underage girls and forcing them to become prostitutes, right? ”

Xu Jing calmed down, suppressed the anger in his heart, and looked at Xiao Daoling coldly.

"Your Majesty misunderstood, those Chang Ji were not abducted and trafficked, but voluntarily committed, and there was no coercion!"

"These are the deeds of sale he signed when he entered the building, if Your Majesty doesn't believe it, just look at it."

Xiao Daoling was fearless, and motioned to the servant with his eyes to carry a huge wooden box in front of Xu Jing.

"Check it out."

Xu Jing's brows furrowed, only to feel that he was almost wrong in this matter, and he was completely caught in Xiao Daoling's calculations.

Gonggong Cao went to check at Xu Jing's request.

As Xiao Daoling said, this box is full of the deeds of sale of some young women and boys.

Gonggong Cao counted carefully, and there were indeed 480 of them, which completely matched the number of dead in the file.

"Your Majesty, it is indeed a deed of sale."

Gonggong Cao walked back quickly and whispered in Xu Jing's ear.

"It's that there is a deed of sale, and there are still dead people in the house. The matter must not be left alone. ”

Xu Jing snorted coldly, even if there was no evidence, he didn't intend to let this matter go.

"Your Majesty can naturally order someone to investigate. As long as His Majesty is willing, how to do it is His Majesty's personal preference. ”

"But these court officials and innocent people cannot be killed! If Rang Er and the others die in vain, how will His Majesty face all living beings in the future? ”

Xiao Daoling sneered, ignoring Xu Jing's forcible investigation, but forcing Xu Jing to release him.

"So, Prime Minister Xiao thinks I've done something wrong?"

Xu Jing sneered and stared at Xiao Daoling and asked.

"Don't dare, Your Majesty is the king of a country, how could the Ninety-Five Venerable do wrong? The minister just advised His Majesty to think twice before acting, and not to do everything as he pleased. ”

"It takes conclusive evidence to convict."

Xiao Dao's face did not change, and his expression was extremely calm.

Even Xu Jing couldn't find the slightest fault in Xiao Daoling's words.

"Let go!"

Xu Jing closed his eyes and whispered.

"Your Majesty, no!"

Father-in-law Cao's face was pale, he knew that once Xu Jing was released, he would undoubtedly silently say to the world that he had done something wrong!
