Another flower-picking thief appeared in the capital, and this time Du Ziheng didn't give the thief another chance.
A large net with a magnet turned the man into a fish and threw him in the snow, where he froze for a day and a night before he was carried back to Dali Temple.
After a severe interrogation, I also learned that this matter had nothing to do with Su Lei.
I originally wanted to release him, but I received a banquet from Xiao Muting that day, and the venue was set at the most famous Spring Festival Restaurant in the capital.
As soon as he entered the door, he smiled and patted the snow on his body: "How could His Highness, King Chen, be so elegant and treat me, a small official, to a meal?"
"I see you've worked hard, so I'm here to reward you. Why don't you give me some credit?" Xiao Muting stretched out her hand to the other side, motioning for him to come and sit down.
After Du Ziheng hung his cloak on the hanger on the side, he strode over. After sitting down, he directly picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it down in one gulp. Then he raised his eyebrows with satisfaction and exclaimed: "Good wine."
"The arrest went smoothly this time, didn't you get any more trouble?" Xiao Muting sipped his lips lightly and poured him another glass.
Du Ziheng looked at him: "Your Highness, King Chen, can you just tell me what you have to say? I'm afraid of you."
"It's not easy for you to still be scared." Xiao Muting chuckled again.
"Why aren't you afraid? You always don't care about such trivial matters. Could it be that you are so concerned this time because this person is Princess Chen's brother?" Du Ziheng asked with a slight frown.
Xiao Muting looked up at him and nodded lightly: "It's true."
"Your Highness, King Chen, the state has national laws and families have family rules. This prince has broken the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people. You don't really want your official to lose his official hat, do you?" Du Ziheng was a little puzzled.
In his impression, Xiao Muting is not a person who abuses his power, and he has always been calm and never participated in these small cases. He also has great supernatural powers, and nothing can be hidden from him.
The arrest of this flower-picking thief this time wasn't the clue he sent to provide him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to ambush him so smoothly. Naturally, he wouldn't have known about Su Lei's affairs that had nothing to do with the case.
Seeing his confused and confused look, Xiao Muting smiled again.
"It's not as complicated as you think. I'm just asking you to do a small favor." Xiao Muting raised the cup in his hand.
Du Ziheng wanted to get a glass, but something didn't feel right when he thought about it, so he took a long breath and said, "Your Highness, please make it clear, otherwise I will choke on this wine."
Xiao Muting raised his eyebrows again, put down the cup, and then said: "Su Lei is the eldest son of Su Wenbin and the nominal brother of this princess. However, he has never let the princess feel the warmth of this brother.
I don’t know if Du Shaoqing has ever heard of the treatment the princess received when she was at her mother’s house before she left the cabinet. I think he also played a part in it.”
Du Ziheng rolled his eyes and nodded with understanding.
"I have actually heard that Princess Chen suffered a lot when she was in the Su Mansion due to her stupidity."
"So, I don't want him to just walk out of Dali Temple in one step and one step at a time. I have to make him understand the consequences of speaking out." Xiao Muting picked up the cup and took a sip.
Du Ziheng then raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "I guess this kid really understands now."
"You just know how to do it. This kind of person just forgets about food and not about fighting. If he can't live a comfortable life for a few days, he will forget it again. If it happens again, it will not only implicate his humble Su family, but also
It will also cause the princess to worry, and I don’t want to see those people in Su’s mansion who don’t know their own abilities anymore. If they go to the mansion to make noise, I might just kill them.” Xiao Muting raised his eyes and looked at him.
Du Ziheng laughed out loud again: "It turns out that His Royal Highness, King Chen, is also afraid of people. Not to mention, everyone in the Su family has a loud voice. Mrs. Su, who has always considered herself dignified, will really start to act violently."
Come on, it’s really quite interesting.”
"I just want to seek justice for the princess." Xiao Muting raised his glass to him again.
Xiao Muting's character of retribution is indeed true.
However, he still asked: "What kind of intensity? Just leave your breath?"
After Xiao Muting drank the wine, he smiled coldly: "What would you do if I said that I wouldn't even give him this breath?"
Du Ziheng was stunned and immediately said: "No, Dali Temple always handles cases fairly. It will not let a bad person go, nor will it wrongly accuse a good person. If he really died in Dali Temple, he would really have something to do."
"Is he a good person?" Xiao Muting raised an eyebrow at him again.
The meaning couldn't be more obvious, it was to let him think carefully before answering.
Du Ziheng swallowed his throat and curled his lips: "Of course he is not a good person, but with his few actions, he really can't do anything big. He is quite good at bragging, but he is very courageous.
But it’s very small.”
"Hmph! This time I can brag that I am close friends with the flower picker. Next time I can brag that I can go to heaven and earth. If he brags even louder, he can even become king and emperor. People like this are enough to give you a headache.
You know, this is the capital, an important place for the royal family, aren't people like this really a hidden danger? Then you think you have less to worry about." Xiao Muting picked up the vegetables, put them in his mouth and started chewing.
Du Ziheng puffed up his cheeks again and let out a light "tsk": "It's true, I don't know who learned all this kid's problems. He really doesn't have Su Wenbin's cautious style. He blows and whistles every day. Look,
It's quite annoying, he's so familiar with it, he's just like someone who dares to call everyone his brother, and he's just as heartless."
"He is not careless, but he has someone to rely on, and this person is his father Su Wenbin." Xiao Muting raised an eyebrow at him.
Du Ziheng immediately poured wine for him, wanting to hear what was going on.
But Xiao Muting shook his head: "It's good that you don't know. The less you know about this kind of thing, the better. Don't cause trouble for yourself and your family. And your whole family is not old enough to compete, so you should do it first."
Let’s get down to the business at hand.”
Du Ziheng still raised his wine glass: "Thank you for your kindness, your highness. I will bear in mind your highness's teachings. I will take care of this matter and your highness will be satisfied."
The next afternoon, people from the Su Mansion came to pick up the released Su Lei, but he was carried out of Dali Temple. At this time, he looked bad, with a sick look on his face, and his legs were disabled. He would never be able to do anything again in this life.
Can't stand up anymore.
When Mrs. Su saw Su Lei being carried back, she burst into tears and immediately ran to Su Wenbin to ask him to find treatment. But when Su Wenbin saw Su Lei's injuries, he shook his head feebly: "The hamstrings are all broken."
A section of it was cut off, and I can't even try to reattach it. In this life, I can only do this, it's useless."
