Wicked documents

Xi Ran intends to take sides, but unfortunately, his efforts are doomed to be in vain, Xiao Bai doesn't want to solve the problem, not at all.

Earlier, Xiaobai put forward the suggestion of "explanation", but the emperor didn't seem to express any objection to it, so he misinterpreted the other party's attitude as acquiescence.According to his own will, he said slowly, "You knew everything I did today, Xi Ran, it was you who pampered me."

The shirk of responsibility was done so cleanly and shamelessly, if anyone else heard it, they would all be dumbfounded.However, Xi Ran is not someone else.

Xi Ran had to admit that what Xiao Bai said was indeed the truth after a lot of unraveling in her heart.At least, a large part of it is true.

He didn't speak harshly at first, but now he can't even continue the minimum denunciation, Xi Ran looked at him quietly, his tone was so light that it was close to a sigh, "You are not embarrassing me, but you are embarrassing yourself."

As a matter of fact, many people's personalities hide some elements of being soft and not hard. If others offer good advice, they are generally willing to listen to two or three sentences, even if they may not implement these suggestions meticulously in the end, but At least in terms of attitude it should be friendly.

It's just that the drama of rehabilitating one's mistakes doesn't seem to be suitable for General Bai, especially when Xi Ran looks at him with such eyes - how should I describe it, there is softness in those ice-like eyes, soft almost sad.There was a small stone table between them, and the dishes on it were carefully prepared by Xi Ran.And the way he looked at him seemed to tolerate a child who got into trouble.

Being tolerated by others shouldn't be considered a bad thing in any way.However, this person should not be Xi Ran.It's not that Xiaobai didn't manage to control his emotions, but he still couldn't suppress the anger rising in his heart.

The porcelain cup that holds the wine is extremely thin, but the hand holding it has been honed and full of strength, like an iron tongs.When Xiao Bai was under the unspeakable anger, the wine glass couldn't bear the pressure at all, and broke into a pile of porcelain pieces abruptly.

The person who crushed the wine glass must have looked indifferent, and threw the fragments to his feet with a flick of his hand.

As for Xi Ran who was sitting opposite, he still didn't even raise his eyelids. The monsters are born with supernatural powers. If this scene was staged among humans, it would indeed be a bit terrifying, but in front of him, it wasn't even the lowest threat.As for someone's bleeding palm that was cut by a shard on the spot, Xi Ran also attributed it to his own fault, and decided to turn a blind eye.

Xi Ran said in a deep voice, "Hand over the new vein and all the iron ore mined earlier to the imperial court."

This is undoubtedly the best way to solve the predicament at present, and it is also a key step.In fact, it is not difficult to think of this point at all, but Xiaobai himself will never say this, and Xiran will speak out on his behalf if he really has nothing to do.It's just a matter of fact, it's somewhat embarrassing for the majestic emperor to indulge to such an extent, so Xi Ran's dull tone has already embedded a ray of anger.

When it comes to the degree of anger, it is really difficult to compare the two people present who is better.Although he was treated with good wine and good food, Xiaobai was very aggrieved by drinking this pot of jade. Perhaps his thoughts were really a bit ignorant, but he just couldn't control such thoughts—— Xi Ran treats him so well, but she just hopes that he will be obedient and obedient, right?In Xiran's mind, he is still just a baizi who was brought up easily, just a sacrifice he accidentally rescued.

Whether it is good or bad is good or bad, Xiaobai doesn't care about it at all, "That's impossible, I can't do it."

This is not a question of whether it can be done or not, but that it has no choice but to do it.Xi Ran frowned and narrowed her eyes, "Do you think you can keep this vein of mine?"

This question really hit the nail on the head, even Xiao Bai, who was stunned, couldn't deceive himself. "Even if I hand over the mine, what can I do? Can the court let me go?"

Of course, the veins are still in place, and it is not difficult to carry out the handover.However, the ore mined in the early stage no longer exists, and after being tempered in the furnace into swords, guns, swords and halberds, they are all invisible.

Xiran really wanted to acquit Xiaobai on the spot, but the impact of this matter was too great, and she wanted to protect it, so there must be a limit when she actually does it.Speaking of it, this may be the difference between a wise ruler and a faint ruler. "Since it is already something that cannot be kept, you should hand it over first."

Xiaobai stopped talking, took two steps back from the edge of the table, knelt down on one knee, and performed a common ceremony for a general to meet the emperor. "Please punish the emperor."

Whether it is wording or understanding, it is really impeccable and there is nothing wrong with it, but the problem lies in Xiaobai's attitude-knowing what the problem is, but he never mentions the word "new vein" and is determined. Will not take the initiative to hand over.

Xiran glanced at Xiaobai condescendingly, and was too lazy to say another word, so she sneered back.

----

Under the influence of Lou Tianyao's deliberate publicity and charm, it only took the shortest time for General Bai to monopolize and privately mine the iron ore to spread to all the monster families. Unanimous conclusion - this ignorant Bai nationality really cannot stay, the next big court meeting is the best opportunity, the emperor must personally rule and take that guy's humble life.

Meishu's treasured sword is not old, and as the planner of this matter, he is second to none in terms of mobility and speed, but Meishu still did not expect that the emperor would still be the first to strike in such a short period of time.

Of course, the emperor had promised not to favoritism before, and he would definitely not let it go easily.It is a felony to mine iron ore privately, even if it is a monster and a powerful person, it is impossible to get away with this crime.Therefore, it is not only necessary to punish Xiaobai, but also to allow all parties to recognize the result of the punishment.

Do you really want to obey the courtiers' opinion and behead Xiaobai in public?This result really touched the only selfishness of the emperor.In any case, the kid's life must be spared—even though the kindness of that day completely fed the dogs, the emperor who was mad by anger was still spending time and money planning for this purpose in the end.

If you can't kill, there are roughly two types of punishments that can be taken, one is exile, and the other is imprisonment.

To be fair, as long as the sentence is severe enough, both kinds of trials can be called heavy sentences.

After thinking about it, Xiran quickly gave up "exile".

If the place of exile is too close, under the eyelids that he can control, the sentence is too light, and it will definitely not be able to stop everyone's mouth; but if the place of exile is too far and too bitter, even Xiaobai's body can survive , but it gave the gangsters countless opportunities, and there was no guarantee that Xiaobai could reach the place of exile safe and sound, and he was afraid that he would become a cold corpse on the way.

I chose imprisonment, but the place still needs to be carefully selected.Finally, Xi Ran chose "Sand Castle".Originally, the prison had no official name, but the word Sandcastle was slowly passed down from word to mouth.As the name suggests, Sand Fortress, the simple two words already reveal a strong taste of desolation.

Desolation alone is not enough, what really scares the criminals is the extremely harsh natural environment here.

Sandcastle is located in the hinterland of the desert, where there is absolutely no grass and no growth, and it is inevitable to be short of food and drink.

The only source of water in the sandcastle is a hidden well, but the underground river that supplies the water is not abundant and intermittent, often lasting ten days and a half months, even if there is water in the well, half of it is mixed with sand , the amount of water is still very small.In order to survive for a long time, the mortals imprisoned in the sand castle can only store as much water as possible while there is water, and this part of water storage is completely saved by all means.

As for the diet, the sandcastle will be provided once a month, and there is no doubt that it must be some coarse grains that are difficult to swallow.Fortunately, the desert is dry and things are not easy to perish, but the portion is too small. In order to last until the next month, a part of the rations must be deducted from the teeth every day.

The road to the sandcastle is far away, starting from the nearest town, even ordinary monsters need to travel for more than a full day with their extraordinary foot strength.

But if they were prisoners, they would naturally be banned from demon power.Therefore, the sand castle needs no guards at all, and the long distance and terrible nature are the most dedicated jailers.To be honest, even if the prisoner wants to escape, it’s no big deal. No one cares and cares about whether he will continue to be imprisoned in the sandcastle or get lost in the desert to die.

But this time the prisoner sent to the sandcastle was even more special. A humble Baizi didn't even need to confine the demon power specially.

It was the emperor himself who made the decision to imprison Xiaobai in the sandcastle, and Xi Ran didn't pretend to be someone else, so he went there in person and served as the escort officer once.

At the same time, there was also a Bai tribe who transported ore to the imperial city with Xiaobai before. Xiran also had a certain impression of this guy named A Lan, who should have been rescued by him when he rescued Xiaobai many years ago. One of nine children.Although they have all been saved, people are always biased, and it is impossible for Xiran to treat everyone equally, and only Xiaobai can receive his sincere hospitality.Although A Lan did not enter the palace, he did enter the imperial city after all. The emperor made a judgment, so he was also guilty of the same crime.

Among the many prisons, Xiran finally chose the sand castle, and there is another most important reason - the sand castle is under the jurisdiction of the Lou family, and the daily maintenance is also in charge of the fox family.

Keeping people here just proved the emperor's impartial attitude.

When Chuchu heard that the emperor did not kill the sinner on the spot, but let him live, Meishu was furious.But then the news came back that Xi Ran did not imprison him in the dungeon of the palace, but sent him directly to the sandcastle managed by the Fox clan thousands of miles away.Meishu was surprised, but no matter how big the fire was, she couldn't let it out.

Regardless of the selfishness hidden behind the emperor's back, the practice itself is impeccable.Under the other conditions of the monarch and ministers, no one dared to question the selfishness behind the emperor, and they could only praise "My emperor is wise"!

Now that the verdict of the culprit has been handed down, the subsequent agenda of the Great Court Council has naturally become extremely peaceful and smooth, and the remaining minor matters are almost settled without too much in-depth discussion.The most important one is the seizure of the Fenggoushan Autonomous Mining Area.

In order to continue to maintain the image of being wise and fair, the emperor decided that this task would be composed of half of the troops from the imperial army and the fox army.

Since ancient times, sequestration has been a coveted job, but Fenggoushan is different. After all, the establishment of this autonomous mining area is too short, and it is impossible to accumulate any extraordinary wealth.As for the lead-fire-suo iron ore that caused this incident, it is absolutely forbidden to smelt it without permission, so no matter how many iron ores are found, it is impossible to put even a piece of iron ore in your pocket. It's boring.

However, hard work does not mean that it is worthless. In fact, when the search team found the secret warehouse hidden in the tunnel of Fenghook Mountain after a lot of hard work, they were shocked by the things hidden inside.

Neat wooden frames, on which are various weapons in different categories, and the cold light from the swords can almost arouse the skin to tremble.

Not only are close-quarters weapons like swords, bundles of neatly stacked bundles in the corners are clearly three-edged arrows with black stems and yellow feathers.There are also some scattered parts that can't be seen in the whole picture for the time being, making people suspect that when these things are combined, they will not become some kind of sharp siege equipment in the end, right?

The little commander of the imperial army had received a secret order from the emperor before he left, and he himself could be said to be flexible. Seeing the posture in the warehouse, he quickly waved his hand, and the subordinates under his command rushed in immediately, guarding every corner of the warehouse. corner.

The leader of the fox family was a young man named Lou Ming from the Lou family. His companion started to move without saying hello, and he immediately became upset, "What does this mean?"

The little commander spoke impeccably, "These things are very important, they must be carefully counted and reported to the emperor. In order to avoid causing panic, it is best for anyone not to disclose the situation here before the emperor gives an order. Captain Lou, what do you think?"

Lou Ming lost his temper when he called out "Captain Lou", and he had to admit that the other party's words did have some truth.Compared with the Forbidden Army, Lou Ming's biggest difference is that he didn't get more orders or authorization from the patriarch of the family before. The deadly weapons in this house are beyond his ability to handle.

Besides, Lou Ming was thinking that even if the patriarch had orders, it was absolutely impossible to violate the emperor's will, and there was no need for him to confront the imperial army at this juncture.

Lou Ming replied in a polite manner, "I will trouble the brothers in the Imperial Army for the count, and I will take people to look elsewhere, so don't miss anything."

Being able to become an imperial army, its ability is beyond doubt.Moreover, considering the extreme sensitivity of this mission, Xiran had to think carefully when choosing candidates. Everyone who went to Fenghook Mountain was the elite of the elite.

Counting from the discovery of the secret warehouse, it only took half a day to make statistics, and then reported the rather shocking data to the emperor.

The little commander's brow was sweating, it was obvious that he was extremely sincere and frightened.Others would earn a lot of "benefits" for themselves when they went to search, but I was the only one who was involved in a huge trouble.

The staggering number of various weapons hidden in the underground tunnels of Fenggou Mountain, let alone his little commander, even if it was replaced by his immediate superior, the President of the Imperial Army, would not be fair. "Your Majesty, this..."

Xi Ran waved her hand to prevent the other party from continuing, as if as long as she didn't speak, there would be no problem.Why doesn't he know that his actions are a bit naive, but when the severity of the problem exceeds a certain limit, he will inevitably want to escape one or two. "You don't have to worry about this matter, I will handle it myself."

Regardless of whether it is definitely better than continuing to manage, if the little commander is granted an amnesty, he will step down after saluting.

"Wait a minute." Xi Ran stopped the person again, and told him in an unnecessary manner, "This matter is not trivial, please keep it secret. Even if the president leads it, you can't say too much."

According to common sense, no matter what kind of mission the Forbidden Army subordinates are involved in, they must report the situation to the immediate superior, the President.Because of this order from the emperor, the little commander doesn't have to worry about it anymore.Blessed to the heart, the little commander immediately came to his senses and said, "Everyone who participated in this operation, my subordinates will give clear instructions one by one. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
