Chapter 137: It's not a horse master
As soon as she entered the door, she received Fang Xu's dismount, Mrs. Shao's face was extremely bad, if her eyes could kill, Fang Xu was afraid that she would have been cut by a thousand knives.
Mrs. Shao twitched the corners of her mouth and pulled out an extremely ugly smile, "Mrs. Yongcheng Hou said that she laughed, we didn't receive the letter in time, otherwise how could we make you wait so long?" ”
"Really?" Fang Xu hooked his lips and stroked the edge of the lamp with his fingertips, "I didn't expect Xicheng to be so big, it would take two days to send a message." ”
The smile on Mrs. Shao's face cracked, and she stared at Fang Xu deadly.
"Enough talking, it's time to get down to business." Fang Xu got up, looked at the prefect with a smile, and said softly, "Since even the family has arrived, what are you waiting for?" ”
When the prefect heard this, he coughed lightly twice, fell on the table in shock, and raised his voice, "Both sides are here, and they will be promoted!" ”
Hearing the officers and soldiers inside shouting might, the people stood on tiptoe one by one, for fear of missing a moment of classic.
Before the prefect could speak, Bai Ji knelt down, knelt straight in the center, and cried in his throat according to what his wife taught, "Lord Qingtian, please be the master of our house!" ”
"Our son-in-law was wronged for no reason, and now he is in low spirits and almost missed the imperial examination!" Bai Ji cried a handful of snot and tears, and said in a trembling voice, "There is only one man left in Houfu now, if something happens to him, how will our wife live!" ”
Mrs. Shao had personally experienced this kind of scene, and immediately turned white and froze in place.
Fang Xu pulled out the handkerchief unhurriedly, wiping his non-existent tears, pretending to be angry, "Bai Ji, what are you messing about?" Don't hurry up yet! ”
"Madam, let the slave and maid speak!" Bai Ji pointed at Mrs. Shao, with a look of hatred, "The Shao family wants to harm the Houfu family, and the slave maid is full of hatred and has nowhere to tell, so I have to vomit today!" ”
"You talk nonsense!" Mrs. Shao's face turned pale, and she raised her voice, "We just saw Xie Li's fraud with our own eyes, and we reported it to the official for the sake of fairness!" ”
"See for yourself?" Fang Xu sniffed, his eyes were slightly red, and he asked knowingly, "But what did Shao Jiazi see?" ”
"Naturally!" Mrs. Shao snorted coldly and shouted in a loud voice, "If you don't see it with your own eyes, how can you just dirty your hands?" ”
"Oh." Fang Xu suddenly turned his head to look at the prefect who looked confused, and pretended not to understand, "Lord Prefect, Master Horse...... Can I also participate in the imperial examination and become an official in the court? ”
Mrs. Shao was stunned for a moment, her body froze in place, and then she remembered what she had said.
The prefect's expression became more and more gloomy, staring at Mrs. Shao, silent.
Mrs. Shao's face turned pale, her steps unconsciously retreated, and she muttered, "No...... Our family Zhi'er hasn't become a horse master yet......"
The prefect snorted coldly, his face showing disdain, "According to what you say, if the master of the horse considers fame before marriage, it is not considered a violation of the law of the country?" ”
"It's a shame that your master Shao is an official in the court, such a simple truth, do you still need others to teach it!"
The prefect picked up the shocking wood, slammed it on the table, and said loudly, "Now that the fraud is unknown, the Shao family knows the law and violates the law, which is a certainty!" ”
When Mrs. Shao heard this, her knees weakened, she knelt on the bluestone ground, and said in a loud voice, "Lord Prefect, we ......."
"Now that the matter has come to this, what else does Mrs. Shao have to say?" Fang Xu pinched the handkerchief, bit his lower lip lightly, and stood softly and weakly, his voice mixed with choked throats, "Knowing the law and breaking the law plus spreading rumors, the Shao family is afraid that they will not be able to save it." ”
Madame Shao's pupils vibrated and she muttered, "No... No way...... No, it won't! ”
"Why can't it?" Fang Xu wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, stood beside her, and whispered, "I have a way to save your Shao family, are you willing to give it a try?" ”
Mrs. Shao glared at her, gritted her teeth and said, "You black-hearted poisonous woman, what kind of heart can you have?" If you hadn't just provoked it... How could I ......?"
"Whatever you want." Fang Xu shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and his tone was easy-going, "Either your family gives up the position of the master of the horse, or your family gives up the official position and son." ”
Fang Xu looked at her with a playful look in his eyes and a smile, "Which is more important, choose for yourself." ”
Mrs. Shao's heart was beating extremely fast, and she wanted to pretend to be calm, but the rapid breathing still betrayed her state of mind.
The prefect looked at her coldly, and said in an unkind tone, "Shao Zhu, this official only asks you one thing, Shao Yunzhi, as the future master of the horse, deliberately challenged the law of Dayan, is this matter true or false?" ”
"Fake!" Mrs. Shao gasped for breath, her chest rising and falling violently, "My son Yunzhi... Don't marry a princess...... It's not a colt. ”
Mrs. Shao closed her eyes, remorseful in her heart, and silently shed tears.
She shouldn't have messed with Yongcheng Houfu.
Fang Xu raised his eyebrows, quietly hooked the corners of his mouth, and showed a victor's smile.
"Then the official asks you again, Shao Yunzhi saw Xie Li cheating and bribing the examiner with his own eyes, is it true or false?" The prefect had a cold face and said in a deep voice, "If you hide the facts, the whole family will not be able to escape the disaster!" ”
Where did Mrs. Shao dare to lie now, and immediately shook her head and said, "Xu is... Maybe my son was wrong...... Right! It's a mistake! ”
How could the prefect not understand her thoughts?
"Mrs. Hou, what do you think?" The prefect looked at Fang Xu with a deep meaning in his eyes.
Fang Xu naturally understood his expression, but he just let himself see that Master Shao was still serving in the court, and he had to be forgiving and forgiving.
"Since you can't be sure, you shouldn't put your lips together, spread rumors indiscriminately, and cause trouble." Fang Xu waved his hand, with a generous face, "That's it, I don't ask for anything else, it's just that your Shao family hurt my son's heart, and it's not too much to write an apology letter and stick it at the entrance of Dongshi Street, right?" ”
Mrs. Shao's old face was hot, and she muttered, "It's not too much... ...... as it should be"
Seeing that there was no movement inside, the people felt bored and dispersed one after another.
Fang Xu came out of the official mansion with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and his steps were brisker.
Doing two things in a row, she is not proud now.
"Fang Xu!" Mrs. Shao caught up from behind, her face was pale, but when she called her name, she was forceful, "You did it on purpose!" Why can't you see our Shao family? ”
When Fang Xu heard this, he couldn't help but sneer, "I said Shao Zhu, don't take yourself too seriously. ”
"Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, you prefer to go to the tiger mountains, there is no lower limit for your family to die, you don't need me to take action, you will play to death for yourself."
Fang Xu looked disdainful and said softly, "How can a pug be able to defeat a tiger?" ”
When the words fell, Fang Xu stopped looking at her, and got into the carriage instead, "Go home." ”
"Yes." The coachman waved his whip and walked away, kicking up a layer of light dust and making Mrs. Shao's face confused.
After a pillar of incense, the carriage stopped steadily in front of the Houfu.
Ye Ming was wandering at the door, and when he saw his carriage, he hurriedly greeted him, his face flustered, "Madam...... Miss, she entered the palace alone! ”
