Royal study.

"My son sees my father."

As soon as Xiao Jie entered the door, he bowed down to Xiao Ji respectfully.

Xiao Ji didn't seem to hear Xiao Jie's voice, and continued to review his memorial with his head down.

Xiao Jie didn't dare to do anything wrong, he straightened his back and knelt on the ground obediently, but he was a little speechless in his heart, couldn't this cheap old man use another move, every time he hoped to use this move of silent killing to calm himself down.

The imperial study room was so quiet that there was only the rustle of flipping through the memorials, and the atmosphere was somewhat dignified.

"Didn't you be seriously injured in an assassination? Why don't you stay in your Qi Palace to recuperate."

The atmosphere was already here, Xiao Ji finally closed the memorial and put down the imperial brush in his hand, but he didn't let Xiao Jie calm down, he just asked calmly.

Let's just kneel, anyway, since the martial strength reached 100, Xiao Jie's physical fitness has also reached the peak, he can kneel for five hours at a stretch, without exerting himself, his waist is not sore, and his legs are not painful.

"I dare not lie to my father. Although my son was assassinated, he was not injured." Naturally, Xiao Jie would not be so stupid as to lie at such a time.

"Oh, really? Then besides pretending to be injured, what else did you deceive me about?" Xiao Ji's tone was still very calm.

Xiao Jie pretended to be injured and Xiao Ji saw everything that happened these days, and he naturally guessed in his heart that Xiao Jie pretended to be injured in order to disturb the hearts of the royal party, make them chaotic and alienated, which would greatly facilitate their defeat in the future.

Although Xiao Jie gave him such a big surprise, Xiao Ji was more or less concerned when he was happy.

Just like what he told Lian Yi, he found that he couldn't see through this son more and more. He didn't like the feeling of being out of his control, even if the other party was his own son.

Therefore, he felt that it was necessary to beat Xiao Jie to prevent him from getting carried away.

Xiao Jie shook his head: "I dare not lie to my father about anything."

"Then tell me, you clearly possess martial arts, but why do you keep pretending to be so weak?" Xiao Ji didn't get angry, he also wanted to hear his son's explanation.

"Father misunderstood, my son didn't always know martial arts, it was when I went to Qifeng Manor a few days ago, I met a white-haired old man, said that my son was born with amazing bones, he was a unique martial arts genius, So he passed on his life's skills to his son."

Fortunately, I have watched many martial arts movies in my previous life, and Xiao Jie can do this kind of plot without opening his mouth.

Xiao Ji seemed a little dubious: "Is this really true?"

"It's absolutely true!" Xiao Jie was afraid that Xiao Ji wouldn't believe it, so after a little thought, he came up with a more convincing evidence, "Father, think about it carefully, if my son knows martial arts early, why should my father send someone to help me?" Kill that river dragon."

Xiao Ji was expressionless, but he no longer doubted Xiao Jie's words in his heart. After all, as he said, if he had such martial arts, he could kill Jianglong himself and hand over the body to Henan Yin or Luoyang Ling, and there would be no trouble at all. To Yuqian.

It's just that Xiao Ji's purpose today is to beat Xiao Jie. He explained the fact that his martial arts are hidden, but Xiao Ji still has a killer in his hand.

Xiao Ji opened the drawer and took out the innermost report, which had Qilinwei's mark on it.

"See for yourself."

Xiao Ji threw the report in front of Xiao Jie.

Xiao Jie picked up the report in front of him, read it briefly, and was slightly taken aback for an instant.

It was clearly written in the report that it was Pang Hu who killed Zhu Chang, the magistrate of Chenggao County, first, and Xiao Jie sent people to collect evidence later.

"My son is guilty, he should not have deceived his father."

When Xiao Jie chooses to admit cowardice, he admits cowardly.

"Then you admit that you have deceived the emperor?" Xiao Ji's face was expressionless, and his tone was flat.

Xiao Jie's face was solemn: "My son deserves death for his crime."

Xiao Ji's attitude made Xiao Ji very satisfied. His original intention was to beat Xiao Jie to stop him from wandering, not to really want to punish Xiao Jie's crime.

After all, when it comes to dealing with the royal party, he and himself are completely of one mind.

What's more, the evidence of Zhu Chang's crime itself is solid, and that Pang Hu's killing him can be regarded as doing justice for the heavens. As long as he follows Xiao Jie and no longer uses martial arts to violate the ban, Xiao Ji will not pursue this matter any more.

Xiao Ji got up, walked in front of Xiao Jie, took the memorial in his hand, and lit it directly on the candle beside him.

Xiao Jie understood what he meant, and the matter was over.

"It's the first time to enter Jianglong, and now it's the second time. You should know what is meant by three things." Xiao Ji remained expressionless, and did not forget to hit Xiao Jie again.

Xiao Jie said in a submissive tone: "I understand, I promise that there will be no next time."

Xiao Ji also stopped embarrassing him: "You can live at peace."

Xiao Jie secretly breathed a sigh of relief, although he would not feel tired kneeling for a long time with his current body, but no one would like to kneel all the time.

"Is there any clue about the assassin?"

As soon as Xiao Jie got up, Xiao Ji asked his first question.

Xiao Jie shook his head: "My son is still investigating?"

Xiao Ji frowned: "Do you believe it was done by the royal party?"

Xiao Jie smiled slightly: "Father, it may be the work of the royal party."

Xiao Ji naturally understands what Xiao Jie means. It seems that he still wants to use this assassination as a fuss to deal with the royal party.

"I won't ask too much about what you want to do, but I hope that you can take the initiative to inform me in advance. I don't want to be kept in the dark about everything, and I don't want others to be the gunmen."

"I understand, but I dare not." Xiao Jie's face was full of meekness that a son and a courtier should have.

Xiao Ji's low profile made Xiao Ji very satisfied, but he frowned immediately: "But now you are no longer the presiding officer of the Liangzhou generals smuggling salt and iron case, how else can you intervene in this case?"

Xiao Jie also had a showdown: "This is the reason why I came to see my father today. I hope that my father will appoint my father-in-law, Su Jing, the Secretary of the Imperial College, as the curator and servant of the imperial censor."

"Administrative secretary and servant censor?"

Xiao Ji couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

The joint trial of the three divisions is jointly conducted by the three departments of the Criminal Ministry, Yushitai and Dali Temple. Both the Criminal Ministry and Dali Temple sent their chief officials, namely the Minister of the Criminal Ministry and the Minister of Dali Temple, to participate in the trial, but Yushitai was an exception. With a false title, he has no real power, and he only asks about the work of Yushitai, so in fact Yushitai is in the hands of Yushi Zhongcheng, and naturally Yushi Zhongcheng participates in the joint trial of the three divisions.

Therefore, Xiao Ji couldn't figure out what was the point of Xiao Jie's appointment of his father-in-law at the imperial censor platform at this time to serve as the curator of the imperial censor?

Xiao Jie didn't dare to betray the situation, but just told Xiao Ji that before the Liangzhou generals were escorted to Beijing, the royal party must make moves, and Yushitai must also undergo major changes.

Although Xiao Ji said he was dubious, but seeing his son was so sure, he decided to give it a try according to what he said, and sat still to catch him, waiting to watch the play with peace of mind.
