066, cold sweat (below)
There are ear chambers on both sides of the lobby, which are places where the guards rest on weekdays, and things like torture rods are also placed in them. When Mrs. Xiaohuan came in, she thought that only Cheng Xiaoyang was sitting alone here, but she didn't expect that there were other people in the ear room. At this moment, I saw the young man walking out with a black face, followed by Huwa and Pan Gu.
Shaowu received the news yesterday morning, but he wanted to preside over the state sacrifice during the day, and at night he wanted to set up a banquet in the palace to reward the ministers, and he couldn't get out of his body at all. Huwa's prediction was good, and Shao Wu immediately guessed that he was back, and rushed here as fast as he could.
The tiger baby traveled alone after the meeting in Baichuan City, and now nearly three years have passed, and there has been news of him back to Ba Muru on the Ba Yuan, but it seems to have disappeared in the last year or so, because he lives in seclusion in Cuizhen Village. Shao Wu must be eager to know Huwa's experience over the years, where he has been, and what people and things he has encountered.
Yang Hanling has already come to the Bamuro Country, and of course Shaowu knows that Huwa has not only broken through Dacheng cultivation, but is already a master of the Seven Realms. Huwa had a promise to Hou Di that if she cultivated to Dacheng one day, she would pass on the Jinghua recipe to the Baguo clan, first of all, to Shaowu.
If it weren't for his own brother, such a high-ranking person came to the country of Bamuro, and with such a relationship, the monarch should come in person, let alone a tiger baby. The tiger baby is now the famous tiger of Bayuan, is a stronger arm of Shaowu, Shaowu heard the news of his return, so happy that he couldn't even sleep, and he came overnight, and he arrived at noon today.
The return of the tiger baby to the country was a great joy, but it coincided with the changes in Yeliang City, which really made Shaowu a little troublesome.
His own brother, Hu Waben, could not have held the shelf of a master and asked Shaowu to leave the capital and come to see him in person, he wanted to see Shaowu and go directly to the capital. But when she caught up with the matter of Yeliang City, Huwa also understood that she had to come in person. This not only involves the origin of Wufuqiu and the Serpentine Clan, but also the most important thing. The fate is also from the Serpentine Clan.
The matter of being born in the snake clan, no one has said it, it is the tiger baby himself who sees it, he has quietly told Shaowu, otherwise, Shaowu may not be clear until now.
Of course, the brothers were happy to see each other in the City Lord's Mansion, and before they had time to say too much, Mrs. Xiaohuan came. Shao Wu told Xiaoyang not to divulge the news of their presence, and retreated into the ear room with Huwa and Pan Gu. Let Xiaoyang talk alone with Mrs. Xiaohuan outside.
Of course, Madame Xiaohuan didn't know that there were other people in the ear room, and she didn't even notice that the guards around her had changed. Of course, Shaowu was in person to prevent accidents, and the monarch's personal guards replaced Xiaoyang's personal guards, and secretly laid two magic circles around the lobby and the city lord's mansion, but outsiders could not see the traces.
And the words that his wife said, no matter how low the voice was, the three uncles in the ear room could all hear it, and Xiaoyang had already broken out in a cold sweat. Not to mention Xiaoyang himself, even the tiger baby secretly pinched a cold sweat for this nephew!
Seeing Xiaoyang take the initiative to kneel down and ask for guilt. His expression was very frightened, and Shaowu's expression eased a little, and he stretched out his hand to help Xiaoyang up and said, "I have already understood, you have nothing to do with this matter." It's just that the in-laws clan is involved. And I can also see that things have come to this point, you want to protect Xiaohuan and be less implicated, at least you don't want to see her and Ding Gong Zhu be punished for the same crime.
Even I don't know what to say about you. If you are a ruthless and unrighteous person, I will not value it, so I don't blame you. But you should be clear. People can be selfish, but they can't be vicious and sinister, and they can't be aware of who is who or who they are, just because of the difference between the thoughts when they encounter something.
Xiaohuan sent a message to Ding Gongzhu, relayed the poison plan and begged you to do that, she is indeed confused, but it does not only mean that she is confused. Because of the right and wrong, she doesn't understand, and no one needs to teach it anymore. It is true that she has not been involved in this matter before, and she begged you today, and there has been no consequence, so there is still room for mercy on her men.
But since she listened to Ding Gongzhu's words and begged you to do that kind of thing, you must distinguish between right and wrong. ”
Xiaoyang lowered his head and said: "Of course my nephew knows right from wrong, Fang Cai is just ......" How about Fang Cai, he couldn't say it anymore, anyway, several elders had already heard it.
Shao Wu spoke again: "I have already told me to wait when you speak, so there is nothing wrong with what you just did, after all, it is just a whisper at home." ...... Your lady didn't know that we were here, but she secretly offered poison to Ding Gong and wanted to kill people, so she must have frightened you, right? I see that you forcibly held back her and did not have a seizure, and ordered someone to take her back to the inner house for house arrest, do you want to ask me what to do with her?"
Xiaoyang: "I really want to ask the lord for instructions - how should Xiaoyang deal with himself?"
Shao Wu sighed, sat down and said, "You are the city lord, just do what the city lord should do, and the same is true for the family master." After saying this, Shao Wu paused, and then explained, "I think I personally ordered you to inherit the title and reward of Senior Brother Dajun, and when I appointed you as the Cangshi of Washing Wind City, it coincided with the national war, and I didn't have time to pay attention to you anymore.
You should know what I think of you and what I hope of you. All the tribes in the country are very cautious about the matter of in-laws, because they are inextricably linked, and even form an alliance that harms the glory and the common advances and retreats. If it was a woman you had made friends with earlier and had a heart to belong to, if not, it was just an alliance of marriages, how could you be confused and casual?
You only heard of Ding Gongzhu and his clan at the beginning, but you didn't know anything about it, and you never met that little ring. Ding Gongzhu came to the door to ask for relatives, and the uncle in your clan will cling to the promise, and you don't care. For the Ding Gong clan, this is to take advantage of the chaos and use you to cling to the clan, and you don't realize it.
I won't talk about you back then. Because at that time, I am afraid you could not have thought of so much, but you should learn a lesson in the future. ”
Shaowu taught Xiaoyang a lesson, saying that he was too confused in his marriage with the Ding Gong clan, and the uncle in the clan was too short-sighted and uninformed. The marriage between the various tribal forces in the country is often to form an alliance of interests that advance and retreat together, and we must not only look at the two people who are married, but also see each other's purpose and relationship clearly, especially to understand the roots of each other.
The Ding Gong clan is a famous family in Xifeng City, but Xiaoyang only heard of its name, and he didn't know the details at all, and he didn't think carefully about the various implications that might occur, so the uncle in the clan agreed to the marriage, which was very confusing. Shaowu said this from the perspective of the monarch, but he did not blame Xiaoyang deeply.
At that time, Xiaoyang was just an ordinary peasant in the village, and he probably didn't have too many extravagant hopes and ideas for the future, so how could he understand this? Suddenly, before he could react to the wealth, he could marry a beautiful woman from a famous family, which was a good thing he never dreamed of, and the uncle in the clan wished to be able to climb the Ding Gong clan, so he got married in a daze.
Xiaoyang, who had just left the village, was of course not Xiaoyang, who had served as a warehouse master, entered the school palace, and became the lord of the city today, and people always need a process of growth. Besides, even if they married without understanding the situation back then, who would have thought that Ding Gong's family would be involved in such a thing today, and Xiaohuan would do this?
The tiger baby and Pan Gu next to him didn't interject, their expressions were slightly speechless, anyway, Shaowu was talking about Xiaoyang, and their respective situations were different from Xiaoyang, who fell in love with whose woman, who knew it in their own hearts.
Xiao Yang's forehead was sweating all the time, and he said in a low voice: "The minister has no intention of returning to protect himself, he just wants to ask the lord what to do?"
Shaowu: "Of course you didn't follow the personal protection, otherwise I wouldn't have spoken to you like this." You have ordered the soldiers to take down the person who went to the city of Washing Wind to report the news, and you have done a good job. Now the matter is beyond the jurisdiction of Yeliang City, and you have handled it properly when you report to the country overnight. In that case, I decree in my capacity as the monarch that you will continue to be in charge of the case. ”
Huwa looked at Xiaoyang from the side, and secretly sighed that there was indeed nothing improper in the city lord's disposal, let alone selfish plans and ideas. Maybe he didn't want to, maybe he didn't dare, but whether he didn't want to or didn't dare, at least he didn't go wrong,
But if the designator is not a tiger baby, and the monarch does not know the inside story, and suddenly encounters such a thing, what will the city lord of Xiaoyang do? However, there are many situations that cannot be assumed, let alone assumed maliciously. Now that the tiger baby has arrived and the monarch has arrived, it is impossible for Xiaoyang to give Ding Gongzhu a chance to escape responsibility.
The presence of the elder, this is actually a kind of protection, so that the younger generations who are valued and cultivated can avoid making big mistakes at critical moments. Xiao Yang said in a dumb voice: "Lord, this matter involves my in-law clan, Xiaoyang asks to avoid suspicion." ”
Shao Wu shook his head and said: "If you take this case, you have to try it, and don't figure out what I and Master Peng Keng's thoughts, we won't tell you how to try it, and you will still handle it yourself." ”
Pan Gu finally couldn't help but speak: "There are some things, let's try not to let Xiaoyang do it himself, it's better to avoid it." ”
Shao Wu nodded slightly: "What the junior brother said is also right, the relevant people will be brought to the court at that time, Xiaoyang is ordered by the monarch, how it should be tried, and this matter must be thoroughly investigated, and there can be no ambiguity." But after the trial, how to punish will be judged by Lord Lizheng. ”
Shaowu's meaning is very simple, he authorizes Xiaoyang to continue to preside over the trial, but he will not tell Xiaoyang - what result he and Huwa want? And Xiaoyang's task is to find out the truth in public and figure out who has done what. As for the final verdict, the punishment for all those involved in the case will be left to Master Lee.
Xiaoyang hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you Lord Kuanren, when will Lord Lizheng come?"
Shaowu: "Lord Lizheng is still in the national capital, and he will arrive at that time, but he will not participate in the questioning beforehand." ...... Now that you have sent your troops to intercept the messenger, have you already found some results?" (To be continued......
