"Okay! Pass the order, give him a heavy responsibility of fifty boards, and then put him in a water prison!" Liao Gonggong said sharply, and then said to Zhou Shaobai with a smile, "Zhou Gongzi, what do you think?"

Zhou Shaobai frowned slightly, and said in his heart: This person is really a few points faster than turning a book, he must be a sweet-mouthed sword-colored man. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

However, being able to admit it so simply in front of so many people is by no means idle.

Next to him, Yu Zaiyuan was giving him a look, Zhou Shaobai saw it, his heart was bright, and he thought: Although this eunuch looks respectful at the moment, if he makes slander in front of the emperor in the future, although I don't care, but this person now knows that Yu Weng has an old relationship with me, and if he is angry with him, it will never be good.

So he made up his mind, accepted it when he saw it, and said: "I have heard that ordinary people will be exposed to ten boards, and thirty boards will be killed. Fifty boards, even if you are a person in the rivers and lakes, I am afraid it will be difficult to get through. But after all, he was rude first, and whether he wanted to be punished like this had to listen to what Miss Mu had to say. ”

After speaking, he looked at Mu Ningzhi.

How could Mu Ningzhi not know his intentions, and said: "That person brought me here, and he only acted on orders, if he was severely punished for this, it would be unfair." However, I hate him for using incense as a kind of indiscriminate means, and the felony can be avoided, and the light blame cannot be escaped. Father-in-law Liao, since he is your person, please act as appropriate. ”

Zhou Shaobai continued: "That's right, if Duke Liao handles it impartially, the emperor will definitely be very pleased." ”

Father-in-law Liao secretly said in his heart, our family has seen the emperor many more days than the two of you!

But he still had a smile on his face and said, "Okay, our family will deal with it impartially." Then the two of you, today's matter is over. You are all celebrities in front of the emperor, and our family has also served the emperor for many years. ”

Zhou Shaobai smiled slightly: "Not bad." ”

He secretly despised it in his heart, found a scapegoat, and the matter was over.

"Hahaha! Zhou Gongzi is really a disciple of the Immortal Family, open-minded, our family really admires it. By the way, since you have an old relationship with Lord Yu, you might as well talk about it here, and our family will go and dispose of that bold Adong and retire. ”

Gonggong Liao saluted a few people, then looked at Yu Zaiyuan, smiled meaningfully, and then walked away.

Yu Zaiyuan watched him walk away, and then said to the two: "It turns out that it is rumored that it is Zhou Shaobai and this girl who have made the rescue work! I have a reluctant request, and I also ask the two of you to come with me." ”

So, Zhou Shaobai and Mu Ningzhi were invited to a lake pavilion in the garden.

Surrounded by water here, the lake scenery is quiet and beautiful, except for a group of egrets swimming on the lake, no one else snoops, Yu Zaiyuan looked around for a long time, and then smiled bitterly: "Oh, Zhou Gongzi, you are too sharp, offended the cautious eunuch." ”

Zhou Shaobai smiled and said: "It's okay, Miss Mu and I have saved the car before, how can the emperor embarrass us for these trivial things?"

"Zhou Gongzi, what you think is too simple. That Gonggong Liao is in front of the emperor every day, if he wants to be unfavorable to you, just chew his tongue in front of the emperor from time to time......" Yu Zaiyuan was worried and couldn't help shaking his head.

Zhou Shaobai smiled and said: "What about chewing the root of the tongue? I am a disciple of cultivating immortals, it's a big deal to go back to the mountain, what can he do to me?"

"This ......" Yu Zaiyuan was stunned when he heard it, and he didn't know how to answer.

"So Yu Weng doesn't have to worry about me. Zhou Shaobai smiled and waved his hand.

"By the way, your ......" Yu Zaiyuan glanced at Mu Ningzhi, and stopped talking.

Zhou Shaobai understood, and hurriedly said: "Yu Weng is worried about the demonic matter, rest assured, I got the soul suppression stone given by the monk of Kongming Temple, and now I am sane and unharmed for the time being." ”

Yu Zaiyuan was overjoyed when he heard this: "This is very good! Zhou Gongzi is really auspicious!"

Zhou Shaobai thanked him and asked, "Yu Weng, I wanted to say goodbye to you at that time, but who knew that your servant said that you had something to go out, but I didn't want to come to the capital." ”

Yu Zaiyuan sighed: "The world is unpredictable. At that time, I suddenly received a letter that my old friend Shen Jingyu in the capital was going to die, so how could I sit still? So I hurried to the capital, but I still didn't see him for the last time, alas...... I think that when I was a young man with fresh clothes and angry horses, I laughed into the orchid restaurant, and those scenes are vivid, but now one is dying and old, and the other has been separated forever. ”

Mu Ningzhi sighed when he heard this, and said: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are common things in the world, Yu Weng doesn't have to be so sad. ”

Yu Zaiyuan smiled: "What the girl said is true. ”

He looked at Mu Ningzhi and praised: "When I was young, I liked to travel in the mountains and rivers, and I traveled all over the country, and I can be regarded as having some knowledge, but I have never seen such an unearthly character as Miss Mu. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Zhou Shaobai again and said with a smile: "Zhou Gongzi and Miss Mu are really talented and beautiful, a pair made by nature." ”

When Mu Ning heard this, two red clouds appeared on her face, and she was about to speak, but Zhou Shaobai next to her also blushed and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Yu Weng, don't misunderstand, she is my uncle!"

Yu Zaiyuan was stunned, only to see Mu Ningzhi also nodding, and then he laughed self-deprecatingly: "Oh, my old man is old, full of nonsense, don't laugh at the two." ”

Zhou Shaobai smiled, covered up his embarrassment, and asked, "Yu Weng, why did you appear here with this father-in-law Liao?"

Yu Zaiyuan said: "After I arrived in the capital, I rushed to my friend's house non-stop. When I arrived at his house, I saw that his house was being mourned, alas, I suddenly felt a chill in my heart, knowing that I was a step too late. ”

"Si Ren has passed away, and I am sad and sad, and I attended his funeral. After visiting several old friends in the capital, he planned to go back to Qingyang. But his brother came forward to keep me, saying that he had something important to discuss. So for the next few days, I stayed in the capital until his brother came to me. His brother's name is Shen Jingxian, and he is a great Confucian in the world, and he also has a deep relationship with me. That day, Shen Jingxian asked me to go to a deserted place, and after we met, I said something that shocked me very much. What he said was that soon, the capital would be turned upside down, and the emperor would be in power. ”

Zhou Shaobai and Mu Ning's hearts moved, only to hear Yu Zaiyuan say again: "When I heard this, I was naturally very surprised. Shen Jingxian once served as the emperor's teacher, and he always insisted on writing to the queen mother to ask the emperor to let the emperor govern in person, and was later dismissed by the eunuch party for a reason. After going into the wilderness, he built a academy in Yuyuantan on the outskirts of the capital, which he named Yuyuan Academy. Many literati who advocated the emperor's pro-government came here, and these people often created public opinion in the capital, which made the eunuch party resentful, and it was called the Yuyuan party. I have frequent contacts with the Shen brothers, so I am naturally regarded as a member of the Yuyuan Party. At that time, the eunuch party was plotting a hunt against the Yuyuan party, and I got the news in advance, knowing that I and the Shen brothers were among them, so I quickly informed them. ”
