Second minister and thief

In the front yard, they saw Xiao Huangmen who came to proclaim the decree, and Yushi Zhongcheng who was distraught.

The old man couldn't believe that his favorite student who came to visit him yesterday was gone like this, he staggered towards the steps with the support of two servants, and accidentally bumped into Xiao Cen who had just come down.

Xiao Cen hastily helped him, but he firmly grasped his wrist, "General Xiao!!! After being loyal, a pillar of talent, how can a thief... destroy... destroy Already!!!"

He was greatly stimulated, and his words were inevitably not very pleasant to listen to, he faintly seemed to risk his life, Xiao Cen's face turned green and white, and he couldn't get off the stage, so he had to keep whispering to comfort him.

But Chu Linqiu, who was about to be pointed at his nose and scolded, had an even more frightening expression. There was a dangerous aura in his eyes, as if he was about to erupt completely in the next moment.No one around him dared to look at him, only Xiao Cen deftly escaped from Mr. Zhou's restraint, grabbed his wrist tightly, and shook his head imperceptibly, which made him calm down a little.

It's just that he paused, but the words he said were still frozen like ice, making people feel cold all over his body, "I'm afraid Mr. Zhou is confused, where are the thieves? Why didn't I see it?"

"The thief is...it is..." Master Zhou suddenly raised his head, his eyes were intertwined with Chu Linqiu's coincidence, but he was startled by his terrifying eyes, that " You" can't be said at all.

Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat stalemate, Xiao Cen had no choice but to come up to smooth things over again. He dragged Chu Linqiu to the little yellow gate and asked him to receive the order first, while he went back to support the old man and comforted him in a low voice.In fact, he didn't need to be like this, it's just because Mr. Zhou is old with his grandfather, he is honest and upright, he is a model of Confucian scholars in the world, so it is not good to leave him alone.Although Xiao Cen believes that some ideas and practices of the old man are really out of date, and it is very easy for people to fall into a dilemma.

Just at this time, Xiao Huangmen who came from the palace saw the chaos in the courtyard, and deliberately said loudly, "The Commander of the Xuanwu Guards, Master Chu, and the Governor of the Criminal Court, Master Lu, listen to the order!"

Even though Chu Linqiu had a look of hesitation on his face, he had no choice but to lift his hem and knelt down towards the hard brick.

"The sage told me that I am deeply saddened to hear that my four lovers have suffered such misfortune. If the truth is not known, I will feel uneasy. I am ordering the Criminal Court to conduct a thorough investigation of this matter, with Xuanwuwei assisting me within a [-]-day deadline. Day. The two lovers are of one heart and one mind, so that we can live up to my wishes. I respect you! Lord Chu and Lord Lu, accept the order."

This brief verbal instruction once again pushed Chu Linqiu to the forefront.All of a sudden, all eyes were on him.

Everyone knew that according to Chu Linqiu's domineering and domineering style, if he was involved in this case, within five days, there would be nothing to do with the court.

There is one more thing that everyone didn't dare to think deeply about, that is, the sage might use Chu Linqiu's hand to completely turn the Court of Justice into... the second Xuanwu Guard!

Also shocked, apart from everyone in the Li family and the principals of the trial court, there was also Xiao Cen who was stunned.He never imagined that the sage's respect and trust in Chu Linqiu had reached such a point. Instead of pursuing Xuanwu Wei's negligence, he directly involved him in this matter.This decision was tantamount to a blatant slap in the face of Governor Lu, and made some people even more chilling.

Just as he was thinking about this, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a slow figure approaching Chu Linqiu quietly.Before he had time to think about it, he blurted out "be careful".

Chu Linqiu only had time to raise his head when he felt a strong wind coming from behind his ears. He subconsciously turned to the side to hide, only to see that it was Mr. Zhou who pounced towards him at some point.Because he dodged in time, Master Zhou threw forward uncontrollably, and he was about to fall to the ground.

Thinking about his old bone, Chu Linqiu sighed silently at last, grabbed it casually, and pulled Master Zhou onto himself.And he fell back uncontrollably, forcibly bearing the weight of a person.

"Uh..." He only felt a tightness in his chest, a burst of sweetness in his throat, and he closed his eyes for a long time before recovering.At the same time, the old injury in the back was under pressure, and the pain was unbearable.This made him, who had always been forbearing, couldn't help but let out a low cry.

"Nine Merchants!!!"

Shocked, Xiao Cen actually did something that seemed extremely irrational to outsiders.He pushed Lord Zhou away fiercely, but then gently helped Chu Linqiu up, and lowered his head to check his condition, and asked carefully, "How do you feel?"
