Chapter 11: Hostility

After finishing speaking, Zhao Shuo suddenly threw the river map on the case to Chen Jing: "Chen Jing, what else do you have to argue with now?" ”

His voice was not loud, but his tone was full of determination and murderous intent, which made everyone present shudder, and subconsciously held their breath.

Chen Jing was so frightened by Zhao Shuo's thunderous anger that he trembled, knocked his forehead with a bang, and said in a trembling voice: "The lower official is confused for a while, I hope His Royal Highness will forgive his sins." ”

Xu was this kowtow that made Zhao Shuo impatient, and he ordered in a cold voice: "Come, take this person down, and wait for the fate!" ”

Lin Congze saw that Chen Jing had been taken down, and stepped forward to help Song Zhiyu up in a few steps, "Lord Song, get up quickly." ”

After that, he ordered someone to untie the shackles on Song Zhiyu's hands and feet.

At this time, Zhao Shuo also happened to step down from the main seat.

Song Zhiyu saw Zhao Shuo's figure, hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said, "See Your Highness." ”

The hall fell silent for an instant, but Zhao Shuo didn't hear a response.

After a few breaths, he glanced sideways slightly, and saw that Qian Xiting was still standing, staring straight at Zhao Shuo with his eyes, and Song Zhiyu, who was frightened, shuddered and hurriedly pulled the corner of her skirt.

As if he had reacted suddenly, Xiting was slightly blessed, lowered his eyes and said indifferently: "See Your Highness." ”

Zhao Shuo's gaze was fixed on her, and Xuan frowned without a trace, although Qian Xiting lowered his head, he could clearly feel a hostility emanating from her.

Feeling her hostility, Zhao Shuo couldn't help but look at her a little more, and his black eyes like a cold pool watched quietly.

Seeing that Zhao Shuo was silent, everyone also beat a drum in their hearts, not knowing what he meant? Obviously, Song Zhiyu has been proven innocent, why didn't he get up? You can even feel a slight anger in his eyes.

But because of their identity, they didn't dare to say much, and just waited quietly for Zhao Shuo to speak.

After being silent for a long time, he opened his mouth and said lightly: "No courtesy." ”

Seeing that Zhao Shuo had spoken, Lin Congze hurriedly helped Song Zhiyu up and explained: "Lord Song, in fact, Your Highness and I have long known that the flood disaster that day was not caused by your dereliction of duty, but there are some things that are not easy to say clearly, so you have to suffer some grievances first. ”

As Lin Congze's words fell, Qian Xiting suddenly raised his eyes to look at Zhao Shuo, his clear and bright eyes were like a small flame with a small flame: "Knowing that there is a grievance, but he is still arrested and imprisoned as a criminal, so can a lowly person with grievances only be at the mercy of others?" ”

It turned out that this was the reason why she was hostile to him.

In the world of Qianxi Pavilion, it has always been black and white, right and wrong, so she can't understand why she knows that Song Zhiyu is wronged, but she still lets the county government arrest people from her Song Mansion, obviously not guilty, but she has to be punished.

On the other hand, she also disagrees with Zhao Shuo's current approach, of course, this is also mixed with distress for Song Zhiyu's humiliation in prison, implying a desire to seek justice for Song Zhiyu.

But her question, regardless of identity, startled Song Zhiyu.

He hurriedly scolded softly, signaling Qian Xiting to pay attention to his identity: "Ting'er! ”

This reprimand also made Xi Ting react, she took a deep breath, changed Fang Cai's sharp expression, raised her head and smiled at Zhao Shuo and said, "Fang Cai is the unintentional words of the courtier, I hope His Royal Highness will atone for his sins." ”

"His Royal Highness was ordered by the imperial court to come down for disaster relief this time, in order to find out the cause of the flood, it was just to let Lord Song go in and walk, and even the skin was not broken to find out the people behind the scenes, this kind of strategy is really beyond the reach of ordinary people, and the courtiers are willing to obey."

Such sarcastic words were said in front of Zhao Shuo, and everyone looked at Xiting in shock when they heard the words, and secretly sweated for her, "Qian Niangzi ......"

Xiting turned his head and blessed everyone slightly, showing his heart to receive their kindness, and then nodded to Zhao Shuo, and then said: "Also, now for His Royal Highness, this flood relief is a major matter related to the community, and the reputation of Lord Song, a small water official, is nothing, and the courtiers should be grateful to His Highness." ”

Zhao Shuo naturally heard that her gratitude was not sincere, and he also understood the implication of these words, even if the analysis and prediction she had made in the hall about the flood disaster before had aroused his favor.

But after all, he is also a prince of a dynasty, and in the face of such irony, whether it is out of himself or the majesty of the royal family, he cannot ignore it.

Zhao Shuo's eyes became dark, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he seemed to smile and said, "Oh, Qian Niangzi is not convinced by this king?" ”

He seemed to be joking, but the chill in his eyes was terrifying, as if as long as Qian Xiting dared to say one more word, he would immediately kill her.

Song Zhiyu saw it in his eyes, his heart shrank, and he quickly knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness atoned for her sins, little girl, she didn't mean it." ”

Lu Mingxian and Zhang Ping also felt Zhao Shuo's murderous aura, and unconsciously helped Song Zhiyu to intercede, and said one after another: "Yes, Your Highness, Mrs. Qian is still young, and it is inevitable that she will be impulsive and reckless when encountering people, so I hope Your Highness will not care." ”

Zhao Shuo turned a deaf ear, lowered his eyes and looked at Song Zhiyu who was kneeling on the ground to plead, and instead turned his gaze to Xiting, stared at her quietly, squinted and asked, "Qian Niangzi, is that so?" ”

The tone was so light that I couldn't hear his emotions.

Xiting was forced by the chill emanating from his eyes to involuntarily take half a step back, and the small hand hanging by his side clenched into a fist slightly, forcing himself to composure.

When Zhao Shuo looked at Song Zhiyu just now, it seemed casual, but it was obviously specially for her to see, this was actually a naked threat.

Xiting lowered his eyes and looked at Song Zhiyu, who was kneeling on the ground, trembling, closed his eyes, and suddenly knelt on the ground: "Your Highness forgives your sins, Fang Cai is a courtier's daughter lost her words for a while, and she has no intention of offending, I hope Your Highness will calm down." ”

Lin Congze hurriedly rounded the field, looked at Zhao Shuo and said with a smile: "Your Highness, the minister thinks that this Qian lady should be too worried about Lord Song, so she is anxious for a while." ”

Zhao Shuo didn't say a word, quietly stared at the Xiting who was kneeling at his feet, seeing that her body was trembling slightly, and somehow, the tip of her heart seemed to have been inexplicably stabbed by something, and she was faintly a little stuffy.

After a long time, he said lightly: "Since Lord Lin intercedes for you, I will circle you once." ”

"Your Highness."

Xiting hurriedly thanked her, but before she could get up, she heard Zhao Shuo say coldly: "Ye Xing." ”

With that, he turned and stepped out the door.

Lin Congze hurriedly followed his footsteps, and when he came to his side, he looked back at Xiting who had just stood up, and muttered in a low voice: "It turns out that she is Qian Niangzi." ”

Zhao Shuo paused slightly, and looked at Lin Congze with some puzzlement.
