"Don't try to confuse the public with your lies here and deliberately inflame the people's hearts!" Ji Dong immediately ordered: "Since he has confessed to the crime - come here and put him in jail to wait for the trial!
"yes!"
Two government officials came forward to drag the man up, but the man raised his head and laughed loudly, saying in a strong voice: "In the name of a virtuous and benevolent king, in fact he allows corrupt officials to run rampant and does everything to exploit the common people! The so-called political achievements are only superficial.
scenery,
In fact, it’s all a fool’s errand! It’s just a combination of deeds and collusion. It’s so ridiculous and pathetic!… The riots by the victims of the disaster in Lingzhou are just the beginning. People like me are everywhere! If the people’s hearts are lost, God will punish them…”
Xu Mingyi looked at the other party quite unexpectedly.
——Did you put honey on your mouth? Why are you so good at talking all of a sudden?
Until the person was taken away, his voice could still be vaguely heard.
The expressions of the people were all different.
I thought it was just a girl from the Xu family who was framed. Listen to the grudges and calculations between the little girls——
But as she listened, Miss Xu suddenly caught the flower picker.
After the flower picker was caught, he started talking about the current imperial court and the Holy Land...
If you continue to listen to this excitement, will the sky collapse?
"Did you hear it? The Lingzhou riot...is it real or fake?"
"Why haven't you heard anything?"
"Is there really going to be chaos outside?"
"Don't talk nonsense..."
"This is the capital city. With old general Xu in charge, no matter how chaotic it is, it won't cause chaos on us!"
"That's true. We are protected by Xu Jiajun..."
Someone whispered: "Stop talking like this, or you may get into trouble..."
Everyone secretly exchanged glances and silently closed their mouths.
These remarks are nothing, but why don't these words exist alone? The flower picker just now scolded His Majesty for his hypocrisy and immorality...
These words should never be discussed in public.
Everyone tacitly agreed not to mention those words, looked at the girl in the hall, and praised her.
"Thanks to Miss Xu today..."
"Yes, Miss Xu's eyes are so sharp that she can see through the flower picker's disguise at a glance!"
"As expected of General Xu's granddaughter..."
"Now the city can finally be clean and stable..."
Seeing that he had left the hall, the people left the yamen while discussing.
"Speaking of which, that little girl named Zhan harmed no one, but she chose Miss Xu. Isn't she asking for her own death... Who has seen Miss Xu suffer in these years?"
Xu Mingyi, who never suffered a loss, was in the courtroom at this time. Together with Wu Chao, he bowed to Ji Dong and resigned.
Facing the two young men, Ji Dong stood up, cupped his hands and said, "What happened today is thanks to Miss Xu and Wu Shisun? I would like to thank you both."
The people's affairs? They are his affairs. This is the right thing to say to him.
"Lord Ji, your words are serious——"
The two people in the hall said in unison.
After the words fell, both of them were a little startled. Then they turned to look at each other, with a faint smile in their eyes.
Ji Dong coughed lightly.
In front of him? What is this for?
The two of them saluted and said "goodbye" again, then turned around together and left the Yamen side by side.
Not far from the Yamen? Under a willow tree, Wu Chao slowed down.
"What's wrong?" Xu Mingyi looked at him.
Wu Chao said nothing, but stretched out a hand.
The young man's fingers were slender and beautiful, and there was something lying quietly in his palm with clear lines.
It's a black and green ink jade finger.
"Where did this come from?" Xu Mingyi raised his head and asked.
Or is it because he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child? His hands have always been clean? He never likes to wear and use these complicated things, so this ring ring will never be his.
"It fell from the flower picker's hand when I was fighting with him."
"...?" Xu Mingyi couldn't help but be stunned.
Are things that come from thieves okay?
Looking at the stolen goods, she couldn't help but ask: "Do you recognize this thing?"
Apart from that, she couldn't think of any other reason for Wu Chao to do this.
Sure enough, the young man nodded.
"Is this something from my Wu family? Although outsiders can't tell the difference, I recognized it at a glance."
At that time, he didn't have time to think too much. In order to prevent the thief from having ulterior motives to use this thing to drag him into the Dingnan Palace, he took it back easily.
Xu Mingyi was surprised.
"Since it belongs to the Wu family? How could it be in the hands of this person?"
Stolen?
I'm afraid the other party doesn't have the ability to reach into Prince Dingnan's palace.
Something that Wu Chao could recognize at a glance must be somewhat special? Something like this? It stands to reason that the other party would be even less likely to succeed easily.
Wu Chao shook his head and said, "I couldn't figure it out for the moment, so I decided to ask this person in person."
"Now that I have just been taken into custody, I think I still need to interrogate and give a confession. If I go there at this time, it will attract too much attention." Xu Mingyi subconsciously glanced back in the direction of the Yamen and suggested: "It is better to go later."
The man said he was bold, but he was very afraid of death. At least he didn't have to worry about committing suicide out of fear of crime.
"Well, that's exactly what I planned."
The reason why he spoke to her now was because he subconsciously wanted to tell her things - now he seemed to be used to telling her everything, but he didn't know whether this habit was good or bad.
"It's almost noon." Looking up at the sun above his head, Wu Chao put away his thumb, put his hands behind his hands and suggested: "After all, we need to eat, why don't I invite Miss Xu to the Zhuangyuan Building?"
Xu Mingyi had been hungry for a long time, and when he heard the words Zhuangyuanlou, he felt like his glutton was aroused.
So he smiled and said: "Okay, but it's up to me to fulfill my duties as a landlord——"
She had received so much care from him when she went to Ningyang, and everything could not have been arranged more properly. Now that he has come to the capital, it is naturally her turn to spend money on him.
And she forgot who told her before - it is said that the most common thing her biological mother said before she was alive was: If you like someone, you have to spend money for him.
Now she seems to be vaguely aware of her mother's happiness.
Wu Chao smiled and cooperated without refusing.
When the two were about to leave, a young boy suddenly walked over quickly, panting.
"Sir, I finally found you!"
I heard that the young master was sending his wife back to the capital this time, but last night the prince brought his wife back, but there was no trace of the young master. He waited all night and didn’t come back, so he asked people to go out of the city to look for him for a long time - but he searched all over.
, or I learned from the onlookers that his young master is in the Yamen!
Wu Chao recognized him and asked, "What's wrong?"
The young master who stayed out all night and had not entered the house since he entered the city turned around and asked him what was wrong.
The young man suppressed his thoughts of complaining and said with a smile: "It was the madam who ordered me to come here to find the young master and return home."
Wu Chao nodded.
That seems to be nothing important.
"I know, you tell mother and I'll go back after lunch."
Boy: "...?"
Then...what does the young master think he is here to do?
Isn’t he just here to invite the young master back home for lunch?
