The happy life of a prodigal

Old guy, if I remember correctly, you said you had something to talk to me about, right?

How come we met, except for cursing and 'you', I can't say anything.

Fortunately, you are still the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, a dignified heavenly official, it is really embarrassing to say it. "

"you......."

The old man's face turned red, and he felt that he was holding his breath in his chest. He couldn't swallow it, and he couldn't spit it out.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xiu smiled with great interest and said, "I said...don't be so mad.

This is in your house, and you can't rely on others if you are mad. "

"call......"

The old man's eyes seemed to spew fire, looked at Fang Xiu, took several deep breaths, and then forced himself to calm down.

As a first-rank member of the imperial court, he is a minister of the Ministry of Rites, with a high position and authority.

In the entire capital, except for the three princes and the three elders, whoever met him was not respectful and cautious, and they were afraid of speaking loudly.

Even if King Ning and King Kang saw him, they had done enough courtesy.

I ignored Fang Xiu just now, just to put on airs and put him under psychological pressure.

Let him know that what he is facing is a heavenly official.

Didn't expect...

This guy doesn't play cards according to common sense at all, and he doesn't have even the slightest awe of himself.

It never occurred to him that in front of himself, the Minister of Rituals, a mere fifth-rank general, he would dare to speak like that.

Just now I heard the guard beside me talk about this person's experience and character.

Suffering from a 'brain disease' who doesn't know whether it's true or false, he acts arrogantly and has great courage. Except when facing His Majesty, he has restrained himself.

The others didn't show any face at all, even King Ning and King Kang had suffered from him before.

Chapter 2 Rebellion!

Although he was prepared, he didn't expect it.

This person is so audacious to such an extent!

After the old man calmed down, he looked at Fang Xiu with a pair of deep eyes, and said, "Since you want to arrest Yang Ming and bring him to justice, do you have documents from the court?"

I have to say that this old man's mentality is really stable enough.

If ordinary people are scolded like this, they might jump over the wall... No matter how bad it is, they may lose their minds and continue to quarrel with Fang Xiu, or continue to scold each other.

But people can adjust their mentality in a short period of time, and pretend to be nonchalant, which is really admirable...

Since he didn't continue to entangle in this matter, Fang Xiu didn't bother to do so.

He looked at the old man and said, "There are no documents."

The old man said with a blank face, "Since there are no documents, what qualifications do you have, and what right do you have to go to the Minister's Mansion to get someone?"

Fang Xiu didn't answer his question directly, and said flatly: "It's just to cooperate with the investigation...

Yang Ming colluded with the thugs in the capital to oppress the people. This reason should be enough for him to cooperate with the investigation, right? "

"In collusion with hooligans?"

The old man looked calm and composed, and asked: "Is there any evidence?"

Fang Xiu smiled and said: "The tens of thousands of people outside Shangshu's mansion are the best evidence!"

The old man shook his head and said, "How does this old man know whether those common people were bewitched by you, or took advantage of you, and deliberately opposed Yang Ming?"

Hearing this, Fang Xiu showed disdain on his face, looked at the old man, and said: "The dignified secretary of the Ministry of Rites, a first-rank official in the imperial court, can he only talk nonsense with his eyes open?

There are so many people outside, in the entire Chu country, who else can respond to them except His Majesty?

If it weren't for those rascals who oppressed too much, who would want to do these thankless things in front of your Shangshu's mansion in the scorching heat? "

The old man looked indifferent, and said: "The old man never said that those rascals did not oppress the people.

It's just that rogues oppress the people, what does it have to do with this old man, what should you go to the government office of the capital, what should you do in the old man's Shangshufu? "

Fang Xiu looked at the old man and asked back: "As an official of the imperial court, shouldn't he solve problems for the common people? I really don't know how you got the position of minister of the Ministry of Rites, and you can tell what it has to do with you. You treat the common people like nothing." if!

Moreover, as I said just now, it was your son Yang Ming who colluded with the rascals, so arresting people naturally means finding out the mastermind behind the scenes! "

Hearing this, the old man frowned slightly, and said impatiently: "These things, I don't want to get entangled with you.

Since there is no official document from the imperial court, these are just your one-sided remarks, but it is not because of this matter that the old man came to you..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Fang Xiu: "Okay, since you don't want to admit that Yang Ming colluded with the bastard.

Then, for the fact that he sent someone to assassinate Her Highness the Princess, do you still want to protect him? "

Hearing these words, the old man's expression changed for the first time.

Assassinating Her Royal Highness, this is the death penalty for the Zhu Jiu Clan!

Anyone who touches it has no room for maneuver.

If Yang Ming really did this, the heritage accumulated by the Yang family over the years would be reduced to ashes in an instant.

Even if I am the Minister of Rites, I am afraid that there will be no good end at that time.

This matter, whether it is true or not, must never be admitted!

"shut up!"

The old man stood up from the grand teacher's chair suddenly, slammed the table, and said angrily: "You are spitting blood!"

Fang Xiu looked at the old man, smiled, and said: "Whether it is bloody or not, as long as you go to the capital government office, you will know for yourself."

The old man stretched out a hand, pointed at Fang Xiu, and said coldly: "Without the imperial documents, no matter what, the old man would not let you take Yang Ming away today."

Fang Xiu looked at the old man and asked, "Really?"

The old man said: "You can try..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Fang Xiu take out a golden plaque from his pocket, on which was engraved a five-clawed golden dragon, lifelike.

In an instant, his mind went blank.

"This gold medal, I wonder if Lord Shang Shu recognizes it?"

Fang Xiu held the gold medal and said calmly.

The old man's pupils contracted slightly, and after a while, as if he had lost all his strength, he nodded.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu's expression suddenly became serious. He straightened his face and said coldly, "Since we know each other, why don't you be polite?"

Hearing this, the old man frowned tightly, gritted his teeth, and saluted towards the gold medal.

At this moment, he just feels hopeless...

In any case, he never thought that such a precious gold medal would be in the hands of such a kid.

Suddenly, countless thoughts flashed through my mind.

Could it be... His Majesty ordered this matter?

If that's the case, nothing matters.

As long as His Majesty makes a move, any first-rank official, minister of the Ministry of Rites, or head of the six departments, all of these will be wiped out in an instant.

only......

He didn't understand, why did His Majesty do this?

Could it be that there was some movement in Prince Ning's mansion, and His Majesty noticed it?

Fang Xiu watched his expression change rapidly several times in a short period of time, shook his head, and said, "Stop thinking about it, let Yang Ming come out and come with us. When we arrive at the capital, everything will be known!"

Hearing this, the old man opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

He just turned around and looked at the servant beside him, and ordered: "Let him come over..."

After saying this, he seemed to be ten years older, and he seemed to have lost all his strength.

If it wasn't for a burst of breath, I'm afraid he would collapse to the ground immediately.

After a while, Yang Ming walked into the courtyard.

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, his eyes fixed on Fang Xiu, and he clenched his left hand tightly.

From his gaze, the word 'hate' can be clearly seen.

Fang Xiu can be sure...

If his father wasn't here, I'm afraid this guy would rush over and bite his neck.

Fang Xiu could still understand Yang Ming's performance.

After all, he chopped off someone's arm...

If he pretended to be generous and saw himself as if he had seen a good friend who hadn't seen him for many years, that would be scary.

But facing such a person who was obviously overwhelmed by anger, it was not enough for Fang Xiu to take it to heart.

In fact, even if he is the former, it is meaningless.

As long as the crime of assassinating the princess is proven, the entire Yang family in the capital will disappear, let alone a little Yang Ming.

"Rebel!"

As soon as the old man saw Yang Ming, an angry look appeared on his face, and he said sharply, "Kneel down!"

Yang Ming obviously did not expect that his father would scold him so much in front of Fang Xiu and others.

He was startled for a moment, then showed resentment, looked at the old man, and said stubbornly: "I am not wrong, why should I kneel!"

Chapter 2 Different Fireworks

"you!"

The old man stretched out a hand and pointed at Yang Ming, his body trembling uncontrollably, as if he was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Fang Xiu watched the family conflict between the father and son play out in front of him, shook his head, and said, "We'll talk about these things when he comes back from the Kyoto government...if he can come back."

After finishing speaking, he turned his gaze to Yang Ming and said, "Come with me!"

Yang Ming glared at Fang Xiu, obviously not understanding what happened: "Why should I go with you!"

Fang Xiu looked at him expressionlessly, and said calmly: "You sent someone to assassinate Her Royal Highness, shouldn't you go back to the Kyoto government office for investigation?"

"Assassinate Her Highness the Princess?"

Yang Ming was slightly taken aback, with a puzzled look on his face, and said, "I have never met Her Royal Highness, why did I assassinate her?"

"Who knows what you think?"

Fang Xiu looked at Yang Ming and said, "No matter what you think, there are all witnesses and evidence, and you can't escape."

Although Yang Ming hated the other party deeply, he still had reason left.

No one knows better than him how serious the crime of murdering the princess is.

Therefore, no matter what, it cannot be admitted!

What's more, he did not send anyone to assassinate Her Royal Highness...

"You are slander!"

Yang Ming's eyes seemed to burst into flames, looked at Fang Xiu, and said loudly: "I never thought of assassinating Her Royal Highness, how could I do such a thing, you want to use this to suppress me!"

Fang Xiu shook his head and said, "Whether it is slander or not, you will know everything when you arrive in the capital government..."

Yang Mingdao: "Do you have documents from the imperial court? Why do you want me to go to the capital government office with you? I didn't commit any crime!"

Seeing this, Fang Xiu showed a helpless look on his face, and looked at the old man not far away.

The old man frowned, as if lost in thought.

After a while, he raised his head, looked at Yang Ming, and said, "Go with General Fang, remember, you can't admit to anything you haven't done.

As a father, I will go to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to make decisions for you. "
