Start practicing from marrying a disfigured princess

Chapter 211: First behead and then play, royal power chartered

The young man named Zhou Xin didn't take it seriously, and said casually: "Don't worry, my lord, the imperial envoy can't find anything."

Seeing him like this, the Tongzhi of Chanzhou frowned even tighter, and said, "Even if you didn't leave any evidence when you killed people, as long as the imperial envoy finds that the cargo ship at the port has something to do with the Yamen, he will immediately suspect me. .

At that time, if he catches me and sends me to the capital, no matter how powerful your priest is, he will not be able to save me. "

Zhou Xin looked at him, and said, "Your Excellency is a fifth-rank acquaintance, but the imperial envoy is only a fourth-rank. Without evidence, where does he have the power to send your excellency to the capital?"

Upon hearing the words, the Tongzhi of Chanzhou opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

Before he could speak, he heard hurried footsteps coming from the door.

follow closely.

An officer walked in quickly, with an anxious expression on his face, and said, "My lord, something has happened!"

Chanzhou Tongzhi's heart sank, and he hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

The officer said: "The guards of the imperial envoy suddenly arrived at the gate of the yamen, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. They looked menacing. When they asked them what they were going to do, they didn't say anything. They only said that they had followed the orders of the imperial envoy."

When Tongzhi of Chanzhou heard this, his heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

but.

After a short period of panic, he quickly calmed down again, waved his hands, and pretended to be calm and said: "I know, you go back."

"Yes, my lord!"

The guard saluted and left quickly.

After a while.

There were only the two of them left in the house.

Chanzhou Tongzhi turned his head to look at Zhou Xin, and said in a deep voice, "You leave through the back door, remember, no matter what happens, don't conflict with that imperial envoy."

now.

Zhou Xin also realized the seriousness of the problem, nodded slightly, and said, "Okay."

Then, turn around and leave the house.

He came to the back door with ease, stopped, let go of Yuanshen, and found that there was no one guarding the door.

"Blocking the yamen, but only closing the main entrance, you really are a dandy, it's ridiculous!"

Zhou Xin sneered and left the Yamen quickly without any hesitation.

What he didn't notice was.

Just around the corner.

A pair of deep eyes were staring at him intently, without blinking.

at the same time.

In the lobby of the yamen.

Ren Pingsheng met the Tongzhi of Chanzhou who came belatedly.

"The lower official has seen the imperial envoy."

Tongzhi of Chanzhou stood where he was and saluted.

Ren Pingsheng waved his hand, signaling that he doesn't need to be polite.

The Tongzhi of Chanzhou was not hypocritical. After getting up, he asked neither humble nor overbearing: "Did you find out the cause of death of the previous three magistrates? Is it related to the Chanzhou Yamen?"

The implication is that since you have sent someone to block the Yamen, you should give a suitable reason.

This suitable reason, at the very least, must be that the murderer who killed the three magistrates was hidden in the yamen.

Otherwise, you are making a lot of trouble out of nothing, arrogant and domineering.

After hearing this, Ren Pingsheng raised his eyes to look at him, smiled, and said: "Master Tongzhi guessed right, I have indeed found some clues in this yamen...

Master Tongzhi guess again, who is related to this case in the yamen? "

Chanzhou Tongzhi said expressionlessly: "The imperial envoy has such a big battle, maybe he thinks that the subordinate is the murderer who killed the three magistrates."

The voice fell.

Ren Pingsheng raised his eyebrows, and said: "I never thought that Master Tongzhi would be able to pinch and count... Your guess is right, the one I suspect is you."

Chanzhou Tongzhi heard the words, his face turned cold, and he said every word: "Although the lower official is from a humble background, unlike the imperial envoy who is the descendant of the prince, but he is also the imperial court to enter the imperial court. Know.

Your Excellency can doubt the subordinate official, and you can also impeach the subordinate official to the Holy One, but you cannot detain the subordinate official without any evidence..."

The voice just fell.

Suddenly there was a sound of breaking wind in the room.

Before Tongzhi of Chanzhou realized what happened, he felt a chill on his neck.

Reaching out to touch subconsciously, he found that his fingertips were covered with blood.

"you you……"

Chanzhou Tongzhi stared wide-eyed, opened his mouth slightly, and looked at Ren Pingsheng in disbelief.

In any case, he didn't think of it.

The imperial envoy in front of him dared to do something to himself without the slightest evidence, and even used a weapon.

Although it was only a shallow wound, it was not life-threatening.

But such an outrageous behavior still shocked him greatly.

the other side.

Ren Pingsheng, on the other hand, looked calm, and slowly stood up from the chair, walked in front of him, and said calmly: "I wanted to save you some dignity, but I didn't expect you not to...

To tell you the truth, I am an imperial envoy personally sent by His Majesty, who will be killed first and played later, with the imperial power to grant permission. You, a small fifth-rank acquaintance, may still be regarded as a person in this city of Chanzhou.

But in the eyes of this official, it is no different from rotten fish and rotten shrimp. Even if there is no reason, if I kill you, I will kill you.

After killing you, you will be scolded at the court, if you don't kill, the people in the court will also scold me, so whether to kill you or not depends only on your mood. "

When Chanzhou Tongzhi heard the words, his eyes showed anger, and he glared at Ren Pingsheng, wanting to say something, but thinking of what happened just now, he chose to remain silent.

Seeing him like this, Ren Pingsheng smiled and said, "I really thought you were upright and upright, but I didn't expect you were just pretending."

"..."

Chanzhou Tongzhi showed an angry face, but still did not speak.

Ren Pingsheng was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, waved his hand, and said casually: "In the past few days, you should think about it carefully, whether you should confess to this officer, or go straight to death.

If you confess, I will save your life. If you insist on going your own way, I will kill you. "

Chanzhou Tongzhi was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help but asked: "The lower official didn't make any mistakes, so even if your lord kills the lower official, how can he make a difference?"

Ren Pingsheng said: "For the sake of power, you killed the three prefects of Chanzhou. Does this mean you didn't make a mistake?"

The Tongzhi of Chanzhou was startled again, and said in a deep voice: "The lower official has never done this, my lord, don't convict the lower official out of thin air."

Ren Pingsheng said: "Whether you killed the prefect, you know it in your heart, as for the so-called conviction out of thin air, after you are killed, the evidence will naturally be there...

Furthermore, even if there is no evidence, I will kill you to vent my anger. I just said it, and it is nothing more than a few words of scolding. "

This this……

No matter what the relationship is today, I can't escape a dead word?
Chanzhou Tongzhi didn't expect Ren Pingsheng to be so shameless, he was stunned and speechless.

It took a long time to calm down, and he gritted his teeth and said, "When I get angry, blood is spattered for five steps. Although the official is a literati, he also has the power of a sixth-grade Confucian scholar. Even if he dies, he will not give in easily!"

Seeing him like this, Ren Pingsheng not only didn't get angry, but raised his eyebrows, he was quite excited: "I have never fought Confucian scholars before. If you want to splatter five steps with blood, I don't mind."

Hearing this, Tongzhi of Chanzhou couldn't help but recall the amazing knife just now, and fell silent.

He was clear.

His own strength simply couldn't compete with this young imperial envoy.

Ren Pingsheng looked at him, and asked with a smile, "Why didn't you want to splatter five steps with blood?"

Tongzhi of Chanzhou gritted his teeth and endured it.

Ren Pingsheng waited for a long time, seeing that he had no intention of making a move, he shook his head and said, "Don't dare to make a move, why bother talking nonsense..."

After finishing speaking, she seemed too lazy to bother with him anymore, stood up and left the room.

Chanzhou Tongzhi stood where he was, staring at his back, eyes full of anger and resentment, but there was nothing he could do about him.

the other side.

After Ren Pingsheng left the yamen, he summoned Li Yong and asked, "What's unusual after the yamen was sealed off?"

Li Yongdao: "A young man left through the back door, and the humble official has sent people to follow according to the order of the son."

Ren Pingsheng nodded slightly, and warned: "Send a few more people to watch the Tongzhi of Chanzhou, carefully observe every word and deed, record carefully, and don't be careless."

Li Yong replied: "I understand the humble job!"

Ren Pingsheng reached out and patted him on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement, then turned and left.

…………

the other side.

An inn, a room somewhere.

Qiu'er was looking at her young lady excitedly, and asked curiously: "Miss, how is your son...?"

Mu Rou was slightly taken aback, her expression became a little strange, she hesitated for a while before she said, "I...I don't remember."

"Can not remember?"

Qiu'er was a little confused, and said, "Miss, didn't you stay in Shizi's room last night?"

Mu Rou nodded: "Yes."

Qiu'er said: "Then why don't you remember?"

Mu Ju said: "I fell asleep last night."

Qiu'er: "..."

Mu Rou recalled everything that happened last night, a faint blush appeared on her pretty face, she lowered her voice and said, "But I know, Mr. Ren didn't do anything while I was asleep."

When Qiu'er heard this, her expression became a little strange.

After hesitating for a while, she moved closer to Mu Rou, and said in a mosquito-like voice: "The more this is the case, the more attention Miss must take."

Puzzled in Mu Rou's eyes, she asked, "Why?"

Qiu'er said: "Because I heard from others that a man can't restrain himself when facing the person he loves. The prince didn't take advantage of the danger last night, which shows that the prince's feelings for the young lady have not reached the point where it will come naturally. I didn't refuse, maybe it's just because I have a good impression of the young lady."

Mu Rou was slightly taken aback: "Is that so?"

Qiu'er said affirmatively, "Of course!"

Mu Rou was in a daze for a few seconds, then suddenly thought of something, turned to look at her, and asked, "How does Sister Qiu'er know this?"

Qiu'er dodged her eyes for a moment and said, "I heard what others said."

The guilty conscience is so obvious that it can be seen at a glance.

Mu Rou asked: "Who did you listen to?"

If she remembers correctly.

Whether in the Shizi Mansion of the capital, or in this city of Chanzhou.

Qiu'er has never had any contact with any man.

By herself, she definitely didn't dare to speak with such certainty.

"Listen to sister Taoer."

After Qiu'er finished speaking, she immediately changed the subject: "Miss, what do you think of the plum wine last night, do you want me to buy some more?"

Mu Rou didn't answer, but just looked at her with scrutiny.

Seeing that she really couldn't hide it anymore, Qiu'er gritted her teeth and finally told the truth: "This is what the servants read from the book."

"Book?"

Mu Rou was startled.

What book talks about all this nonsense?
Just when he was wondering.

Qiu'er confessed again: "It's the books that I bought from Mo Yun Zhai."

"I see……"

Mu Rou's face reveals a sudden look.

Soon thinking about the contents of those books, her delicate face flushed instantly, and she whispered: "Didn't I say that those books cannot be read."

Qiu'er blushed and said in a low voice: "Miss won't let me watch it, and I'll watch it myself when no one is around."

Mu Rouqiao blushed even more, and said, "Why have I ever read such a book alone?"

Qiu'er said: "Just before leaving for Chanzhou, Miss looked at it for a while at the desk, and then she carried it with her, and put it in her parcel. Otherwise, even if the slaves wanted to read it, they wouldn't be able to see it."

Feeling her face burning hot, Mu Rou retorted: "I was afraid that those books would be discovered by others if they were left in the mansion, which would damage the majesty of the Shizi Mansion, so I just took them with me... As for what you said, I read it for a while. , I just flipped through a few pages to see if it was those books."

Qiu'er didn't believe her lady's words, she looked a bit dissatisfied, but she didn't say anything, just kept silent.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Mu Rou said, "Put those books there now, sister Qiu'er take them out and burn them."

Qiu'er was slightly taken aback, and said, "Such a good book, why burn it?"

what a good book.

It's clearly... unsightly.

Mu Rou thought so in her heart, but she didn't say so, she just said: "Burn it."

Seeing that her young lady was so determined, Qiu'er couldn't say anything more.

After finding those books, they were about to burn them in the stove in the backyard, but before they went out, they heard footsteps outside the house.

Followed by a familiar magnetic voice.

"Is Miss Mu here?"

It's the prince!
Qiu'er's eyes lit up, and there was joy in her eyes, and she hurriedly agreed: "Yes, my son, please come in."

The voice just fell.

After realizing it, I still held those books in my arms.

Just as I was about to find a place to hide, the door slowly opened.

"It's over! These books must not be seen by the prince!"

Qiu'er looked at the opened door, her nervous breathing stopped for a moment.

She hugged the books in her arms tightly, fearing that something might go wrong, she stood there, motionless.

After a few breaths.

Ren Pingsheng stepped into the room, saw Qiu'er standing at the door, holding a few books in his arms, looking like a sculpture, and asked curiously: "Miss Qiu'er, who is this?"

Qiu'er was nervous, and even her voice trembled a little: "No, it's nothing..."

With that said, he lowered his head and walked out.

"What's going on here? It's mysterious..."

Ren Pingsheng looked at Qiu'er, thinking so in his heart, but didn't say anything, he took the initiative to sideways to make way for her.

The two passed by.

Because too nervous.

Qiu'er's hands and feet were a little numb, she staggered and almost fell to the ground, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh..."

aside.

Ren Pingsheng had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and reached out to support her.

Almost at the same time.

The few books in Qiu'er's hand fell to the ground because she couldn't hold them firmly.

Coincidentally.

There was a breeze blowing outside the door.

Flipping the pages of the book reveals its contents.
