don't show

Zhu Jin showed her a kind smile, looked at Zhang Jing, Lin Xiu and the others, his expression returned to calm, and said: "Your Majesty has an order to bring all the people who caused this chaos into the palace for trial. , Third Young Master, Mr. Lin, come with our family."

Zhang Jing was silent, and Lin Xiu didn't say anything.

Zhu Jin took two steps forward, and said to Zhao Lingjun very politely: "Miss Zhao, don't worry, Your Majesty just asked Mr. Lin a few words."

Zhao Lingjun nodded slightly, and let go of Lin Xiu's hand.

A priest behind Zhu Jin waved his sleeves, and everyone rose from the ground and flew towards the palace.

Xue Ning'er looked at the woman in front of her, feeling sour in her heart.

Never before had she longed for power like at this moment.

If she can't even protect the person she likes, what's the use of her practicing so hard?

She wanted to say thank you to Zhao Lingjun, but found that she was not even qualified to say thank you.

They are a family, Zhao Lingjun made a move for him, it is only right and proper, so what is she?

Zhao Lingjun turned around and saw Xue Ning'er too.

She saw the unwillingness and loss in the woman's eyes, and seemed to think of something, she was silent for a moment, and said, "Sorry."

Xue Ning'er wiped her eyes and said, "Needless to say I'm sorry, who saved your life?"

She just sighed in her heart, if she had been born a year earlier, in Zhao's family, named Zhao Ning'er, she would have been able to stand beside Lin Xiu just now...

……

After Lin Xiu and others were brought into the palace by Zhu Jin, the pretty widow was sent to a side hall, while Lin Xiu, Zhang Jing, Zhang Huai, Wu Wenyuan, and Liu Qingfeng were taken to the imperial study.

Emperor Xia sat behind the case and read the excerpts, as if he didn't see them at all.

When Wu Wenyuan and Liu Qingfeng met the emperor for the first time, they immediately knelt down after entering the palace.

Zhang Huai was frightened and fell to his knees.

In fact, he could have been free, but the development of the matter was completely beyond his expectation, and his legs were already so weak that he could not stand still.

Zhang Jing and Lin Xiu stood on both sides.

Zhang Jing's expression was calm as usual, and Lin Xiu's mind was not here at all.

He didn't expect Zhao Lingjun to show up. He purposely made such a big commotion outside. Naturally, he wanted to let the Emperor Dog know that his secret agents were not just for nothing. There was a commotion in the East City, and he would definitely investigate and report as soon as possible. go up.

He didn't wait for Zhu Jin first, but Zhao Lingjun instead.

It was no surprise that Zhao Lingjun would help him. After all, they were husband and wife in name, and it would be strange not to help him. What surprised him was that Zhao Lingjun was really a high-level man...

How could there be such a big gap between people, the speed of her normal practice, even if he cheated, he couldn't keep up...

Everyone had their own thoughts, and there was silence in the imperial study room.

At a certain moment, a sound of wind suddenly came from Lin Xiu's ear.

A wind blew from outside the hall, shaking Lin Xiu's clothes, and a figure came against the wind and landed on the hall.

It was a middle-aged man. The moment this middle-aged man appeared, Emperor Xia finally put down the memorial, walked out of the imperial case quickly, and said, "Why did my brother come in person, Zhu Jin, give me a seat quickly."

The middle-aged man said with a smile: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be too polite. This rebellious son has caused disasters, and even His Majesty was alarmed. I will take him back to the mansion and discipline him well."

Emperor Xia smiled and said: "It's normal for young people to make mistakes, just a little admonishment is fine, brother don't be too harsh on him."

The middle-aged man said: "I'll take this rebellious son back now, and I won't disturb Your Majesty."

Emperor Xia said: "Go, send my regards to Ding Guogong on my behalf."

The middle-aged man waved his sleeves, and there was a gust of wind, which swept up Zhang Jing, flew out of the hall, and disappeared into the sky.

Xia Huang looked at the direction where the two disappeared, and the smile on his face gradually froze. After a long time, his expression returned to the ancient well, and he looked at Lin Xiu and the others.

Sensing the sight of the Son of Heaven, Wu Wenyuan lowered his head deeply, his whole body trembling.

Liu Qingfeng's back was also drenched in cold sweat.

Zhang Huai trembled even more, Zhang Jing was taken away, what should he do?

Emperor Xia looked at Lin Xiu and asked, "Are you convicted?"

Lin Xiu said honestly, "I am guilty."

Emperor Xia asked: "Tell me, what should you do?"

Lin Xiudao: "I'm the son of an earl. I shouldn't offend my subordinates and embarrass the first-class sons of the government. He robs the women of the people. I should pretend that I didn't see it. I have caused trouble for Your Majesty. Please punish me alone. That's good, let Master Wu and Master Liu go, they all act in accordance with the law and are loyal to the court and His Majesty..."

Wu Wenyuan and Liu Qingfeng were grateful in their hearts, Liu Qingfeng said: "Your Majesty, I also participated in this matter, and I am willing to accept the punishment!"

Wu Wenyuan also felt bloody in his heart, and said in a trembling voice: "This humble minister is also willing to receive punishment..."

Emperor Xia was silent for a moment, then said lightly: "You two acted impartially, what's wrong with you?"

He looked at Wu Wenyuan and asked, "What's your name and what is your official position?"

Wu Wenyuan said: "Return to Your Majesty, my humble minister Wu Wenyuan lives in Dongcheng Order."

Emperor Xia looked at Liu Qingfeng again, and asked, "What about you?"

Liu Qingfeng said: "Return to Your Majesty, Liu Qingfeng, the head of the Ministry of Officials."

Xia Huang nodded, and then said: "Wu Wenyuan, the order of the East City, is not afraid of power, and he is dedicated to his duties. Now he is promoted to the Kyoto Order, in charge of the people's livelihood in the four cities, and a third-class loyal and brave uncle, as a reward. Liu Qingfeng, the head of the Cleaning Department, enforces justice , was promoted to Qing Licheng, and was added to the third class An Huabo..."

Wu Wenyuan and Liu Qingfeng were both stunned. Didn't they say that they should be punished? Why did they get promoted instead?

Zhang Huai was also taken aback.

Isn't An Huabo his father? Could it be that His Majesty has forgotten that Da Xia already has an An Huabo.

The titles of dignitaries will not be repeated. There will be no third-class Anhuabo if there is one first-class Anhuabo. Unless the first-class Anhuabo dies and there is no one to inherit the title, this title will be vacant and can be added to others. others.

To say something unlucky, even if his father passed away unexpectedly, the new An Huabo should be him.

His Majesty seems to have a bad memory, but Zhang Huai didn't dare to remind him.

At this moment, Emperor Xia waved his hand and said, "Let the others go, Lin Xiu stays."

The three of them were confused. His Majesty brought them into the palace and said that he would interrogate them himself, but he didn't interrogate them at all. He somehow promoted them and let them go. Your heart is unpredictable...

However, after the three of them walked out of the imperial study and came to the square in front of the hall, Zhu Jin said to Wu Wenyuan and Liu Qingfeng, "You two adults will wait here and leave the palace with Mr. Lin later."

After that, he looked at Zhang Huai indifferently, and said, "You, come with me..."

Inside the imperial study.

Emperor Xia looked at Lin Xiu, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you planning me again this time?"

Lin Xiu said innocently: "This time it's really not..."

He will admit that he did it, and he didn't do it, and he can't let others label him.

He looked at Emperor Xia and said: "Your Majesty's words made me very sad. The Zhang family is the largest family in Daxia. The father of the minister is just a small first-class uncle. I will go to work when I am impatient. Offending the Zhang family like this is not to save the future empress..."

Emperor Xia looked into his eyes, was silent for a moment, and said, "I blamed you."

Lin Xiu hit the iron while the iron was hot, and said: "Your Majesty has always been very clear about rewards and punishments. Lord Wu and Lord Liu have both rewarded you. My minister..."

In order to save his woman, offend the top wealthy family in Daxia, don't order anything, this time it's really a big loss.

Xia Huang said angrily: "You have forced me to reward you so much, and you still want to reward me, do you think I am your cash cow!"

Lin Xiudao: "I don't want money. Your Majesty can give my father a title or something. He's just a small first-class uncle. I can't offend anyone. It's not convenient to do things for your majesty. Besides, you If two lords are rewarded, but the ministers are not rewarded, the common people will say that His Majesty's rewards and punishments are unfair..."

Emperor Xia sneered and said, "You will think of me."

Lin Xiudao: "It's my duty to share your majesty's worries."

Xia Huang thought for a while and said: "This time I accept your love, I will give him a three-year wait at most. Your father has been promoted too fast in the past year. If you want to be promoted later, it will depend on your ability."

Lin Xiu looked at him and asked, "What's your skill?"

Xia Huangdao: "If you can be promoted to the upper realm of the earth rank, I will give him the title of Duke directly. If you can be promoted to the heaven rank, why not give him a second-class Duke?"

Lin Xiu thought for a while and asked, "What if it's the upper realm of heaven?"

Emperor Xia sneered and said, "I will give you a hereditary first-class prince in the upper realm of heaven. Your father, you, your son, and your grandson are all first-class princes in Great Xia."

Lin Xiu asked again: "Then what if the minister has the highest rank?"

Emperor Xia glanced at him, and said: "What is the Spring and Autumn Dream, if you can set foot on the supreme, and you still use me to seal it, then, it is not I who seal you, but you who seal me..."

Chapter 170

In the imperial study room, Lin Xiu asked Emperor Xia, "Your Majesty, this time I have completely offended the Zhang family for Your Majesty's sake. Will they take revenge on me, poison me, assassinate me, or secretly attack my family..."

Emperor Xia said: "Put your heart back in your stomach. From today onwards, no one will dare to attack you and your family. Your wife is so powerful. Tonight, many people may not even be able to sleep."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and said, "Go away, I still have something important to do."

Lin Xiu knew that the pretty widow was still waiting for him to comfort her, so she cupped her fists, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, leave."

As soon as he walked out, Zhu Jin walked in, Xia Huang asked: "Zhao Lingjun really awakened for the sixth time?"

Zhu Jin nodded and said: "I saw with my own eyes that Zhang Jing's two ground-level guards were only one step away from the upper level of the ground level, but they couldn't even stand up in front of her. To be powerful, you need to be at the upper level of the earth to achieve this..."

Emperor Xia breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "She is trying to establish her prestige. No one is afraid of a 19-year-old upper class, not to mention she has a powerful master. Who will dare to mess with the Zhao family and the Lin family in the future... "

Zhu Jin said with a smile: "Although there are people with outstanding talents in various countries, none of them can match her. From this point of view, I, Daxia, have already made a reservation in advance for the next top spot on the Tianjiao list."

Xia Huangdao: "Don't be too happy too early, Da Luo and Dayou are also Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Although we have one Zhao Lingjun, there is only one Zhao Lingjun. If there is only one leader on the Tianjiao list, we will be on the list later. No one, it will also become a joke."

Zhu Jindao: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. At present, the number of Tianjiao in the next Tianjiao list will not be less than in previous years..."

Emperor Xia waved his hand, stopped mentioning the matter, and asked, "Where is Madam?"

Zhu Jindao: "According to your request, it is arranged in the side hall."

Emperor Xia looked down at the clothes on his body and sighed softly. Although he had to come to this step sooner or later, it was earlier than he expected. In this way, he would no longer have the pleasure of going out of the palace.

Thinking of the culprit of this matter, Emperor Xia's expression darkened, and he said: "Strictly investigate Anhuahou's family, arrest all who may or may not be arrested, and kill all who may or may not be killed. No one will be tolerated!"

Knowing that His Majesty was really angry, Zhu Jin bowed and said, "Observe the order..."

Although the son of Marquis Anhua was the one who started the incident, the center of the storm was Zhang Jing from the Zhang family, who had already been taken away just now.

Looking at the sky outside the hall, Emperor Xia said slowly: "Zhang family, what a Zhang family..."

……

Lin Xiu walked out of the imperial study and saw Wu Wenyuan and Liu Qingfeng were still waiting for him on the square in front of him.

Wu Wenyuan still seems to be dreaming. From a small Dongcheng order to the Kyoto order in charge of the entire royal capital and people's livelihood, the power in his hands is not just four times bigger.

In this short period of time, he has changed from a small official who can be bullied by anyone to an important minister in the court.

What's more, His Majesty even awarded him a title, even if it was only a third-class uncle, but he jumped from a commoner to a powerful person in one fell swoop, which is what many officials dream of.

In Daxia, being an official is nothing, being a powerful person is the real master.

He even wondered if smoke was rising from the Zhang family's ancestral grave.

Liu Qingfeng was in the same mood as him.

Qinglicheng is the second in command of the Qinglisi. When the Lord Langzhong is away, he can perform the duties of the Qinglisi Langzhong. In addition to the official position, he also has a title, and even the Langzhong does not have a title.

Seeing Lin Xiu coming out, the two hurried forward.

Lin Xiu cupped his hands to the two, and said with a smile, "Congratulations to the two adults for being promoted to the ranks."

Wu Wenyuan said hastily: "It's all thanks to the young master."

At this moment, he is glad that he knows people with his eyes, but if he hesitates today, I am afraid that such a good thing will not happen to him at all.

As for the matter of the pretty widow, he didn't ask a single word in a sensible way.

However, thinking of the Zhang family, Wu Wenyuan still showed worry, and said, "Mr. Lin, do you think the Zhang family will take revenge on us?"

Lin Xiu patted the two of them on the shoulders, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, His Majesty has added officials and ranks to you because of this level of consideration. If the Zhang family retaliates against you, wouldn't it just hit His Majesty in the face?"

Only then did Wu Wenyuan feel relieved.

Liu Qingfeng looked at Lin Xiu and asked, "Master Lin, what will happen to Zhang Huai?"

Lin Xiu smiled and said, "His father's title is already yours. What do you think will happen to him? Before long, you will be able to visit their father and son's grave."

Although the dog emperor couldn't do anything to the people in Dingguo's mansion, but a mere An Huabo, if he really wanted to kill, no one could stop him.

When the three of them walked out from the palace gate, many people surrounded them on the street in front of the palace gate.
