Chapter 32 The couple has fun
"Bang——"
Xiao Jingfan couldn't hold back and slapped the book desk.
The late emperor felt ashamed of Chongdehou and intended to treat Chongdehou's descendants kindly. However, the Chongde Marquis Mansion had a small population and bad luck, and in the end there was only an orphan girl left.
The late emperor felt that You Shaoqing would be a good husband because of his true talents and good looks, so he specially granted marriage to you.
Actually...
Xiao Jingfan winked into the darkness, and after a while, a guard in golden clothes came in from the outside and said a few words in his ear.
The voice was so low that no one else heard a word.
Then, Xiao Jingfan seemed to have gotten some news. He grabbed the paperweight and threw it at Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple. At the same time, he ordered angrily: "Zhou Yuande, please tell Princess Mingxia to enter the palace!"
"My slave obeys the order!"
The paperweight flew towards him, and Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple did not dare to hide. He was hit in the head by the paperweight, and soon a big swelling formed.
He didn't dare to cry out in pain, his face was frightened and confused.
What did Jin Yiwei say to His Majesty? Why did Your Majesty suddenly look at him with a look that wanted to cut him alive?
Is it because he didn't show his loyalty well or because he didn't shoot the dragon's fart correctly?
Also, it's already dark, why would he announce his wife's entry into the palace?
His heart was pounding, and his mind kept thinking about the recent violations of laws and disciplines he had done.
Marquis Wen Zhao and Academician Cao looked at each other.
What kind of taboo did You Shaoqing violate against His Majesty? He actually threw things and hit people.
Chu Liuzheng also had the same doubts.
[If I remember correctly, Princess Mingxia is the wife of the scumbag, right? Suddenly summoning the mistress into the palace, could it be that the Jin Yiwei also found out that Zuo Shaoqing was a scumbag who cheated on his feelings? 】
[Strange, why is it not in the system? Doesn’t what Jin Yiwei whispers to the tyrant count as gossip? 】
Xiao Jingfan: "..."
Jin Yiwei just moved his mouth but didn't say anything. He wouldn't tell this woman.
Princess Mingxia arrived very quickly and was led into the Wenhua Hall by Zhou Yuande. "My wife pays homage to your Majesty. May your Majesty be safe."
Thinking that it was because of the late emperor that the only bloodline in the Chongde Marquis Mansion was entrusted to such a cruel person, Xiao Jingfan couldn't help but feel guilty for his deceased father. His tone was much gentler than usual, and he raised his hand and said: "I will give you a seat without any courtesy."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Princess Mingxia stood up as instructed. Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple also wanted to stand up, but Xiao Jingfan glanced at her and immediately knelt down again.
Princess Mingxia glanced at her husband, as if wondering why he was still kneeling.
Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple was troubled and couldn't tell her, so he just shook his head gently at her and told her to leave it alone.
Princess Mingxia had no choice but to suppress her doubts for the time being and looked at Xiao Jingfan, "I wonder why your Majesty summoned your wife to the palace in such a hurry?"
The eunuch who called her was in such a hurry that she didn't even have time to change into the princess's uniform.
Xiao Jingfan did not answer, but shouted coldly: "You Shaoyun."
Being called by Xiao Jingfan's name and surname, Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple couldn't help but trembled and said hurriedly: "I am here."
Xiao Jingfan stared at him coldly and said in a deep voice: "Did you say it yourself, or did I say it for you?"
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." You Shaoyun was sweating on his forehead and his eyes were spinning wildly, "I don't know what your Majesty is talking about. Please make it clear."
"What a clue." Xiao Jingfan sneered, his eyes as cold as a knife.
You Shaoyun was so frightened that his heart trembled. He gritted his teeth and said cruelly, "Three days ago, I felt sorry for the orphans and widowed mothers who were helpless. I was moved by compassion and commuted the sentence of the prisoner who should have been cut in half to a prison sentence. Because of his own selfishness, I am a young minister of Dali Temple and I ask your Majesty to punish me for my selfish interests."
After much thought, he realized that it was only the incident three days ago that could arouse His Majesty's anger. At that time, the princess knew about this and she even advised him.
Your Majesty has always believed that the law should be merciless. I think that by summoning the princess into the palace, your Majesty is reminding him and giving him an opportunity to be frank and lenient.
Your Majesty still protects him.
Thinking of this, You Shaoyun calmed down and secretly glanced at Marquis Wen Zhao for help.
Previously, Mrs. Wen Zhaohou's natal nephew forcibly occupied people's fields and was sued to Shuntian Prefecture. The Shuntian Prefecture officials ignored it and then sued Dali Temple. When You Shaoyun knew about it, he helped suppress the matter.
If you accept someone's favor, you will naturally have to repay it. Besides, it was just a move of compassion, and the worst possible thing was to catch the prisoner and chop him in half, which was not a big deal.
Marquis Wen Zhao spoke up to help and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, everyone has compassion. You Shaoqing is still young, so it is inevitable to feel pity for orphans and widowers. Please forgive him this time for the sake of his hard work in the past." .”
Academician Cao was very optimistic about the young man You Shaoyun. When he saw this, he also helped him: "You Shaoqing has an innocent heart. Although he is not merciful, he is pitiful. Please show mercy to your majesty."
[It is better to believe that a scumbag has a pure heart than to believe that I am Qin Shihuang. 】
Chu Liuzheng rolled his eyes secretly in his heart, always feeling that something was wrong.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
[Although it is possible for a scumbag to do good deeds, but... I'd better check it out. 】
Xiao Jingfan raised his eyebrows slightly and put the three ministers aside for the time being. He lowered his eyes and gently fiddled with the tea bowl with the tea lid.
The three of them were worried. What did His Majesty mean by not saying a word?
Chu Liuzheng found it quickly.
[Ah, this... You is so tough-headed that he dares to lie in front of the tyrant. 】
[It was clear that he received two thousand taels of snowflake silver from the prisoner’s family before the sentence of halving was commuted to imprisonment. The serious crime of bending the law for personal gain and abusing power became a small act of compassion in his mouth, and he really knew how to put gold on his face. 】
Xiao Jingfan put the tea bowl on the desk and looked at You Shaoyun as if he were looking at a dead person.
You Shaoyun's heart trembled at the sight of him, and the hands hidden in his sleeves clenched into fists, still feeling a little lucky.
He did only tell half of it, but he did a good job of concealing those things, and his tail had been swept away long ago. Even if Jin Yiwei had suspicions, he would never be able to find out the inside story.
He comforted himself over and over again, don't panic, just hold on!
Don't scare yourself, just get through it and you'll be fine! !
If he could hear Chu Liuzheng's inner voice, he might not be able to remain stable.
[Sure enough, this guy surnamed You is so proficient in taking bribes, and he has done more than once to change his sentence by accepting bribes. 】
[This guy is very good at exploiting loopholes in the law. He just makes some vague statements in his confession, making it easy for people to find no mistakes. Last month alone, I made a profit of 5,700 taels from this. Ordinary people can't make so much money in their lifetime, right? 】
[Last month, last month, last month, last month... I'm going! It happened every month for a year in a row. Because it was done discreetly and it was finished well every time, no one even noticed. This must add up to a small hundred thousand taels, tsk tsk, how greedy! 】
[Let me see if this scumbag has any other dirty information...]
【Um? 】
【Hiss——】
Chu Liuzheng took a breath of air in his heart and couldn't help but cast his eyes on Princess Mingxia who was sitting upright.
【Grass! This...I...these two are having a great time! 】
Xiao Jingfan pricked up his ears and prepared to listen carefully.
But the voice in my heart suddenly disappeared.
He looked at Chu Liuzheng, "How are you spending your time?"
