"grown ups."

"grown ups--"

The tentative whispers made Xie Jinbai feel an uncontrollable surge of disgust in his heart.

In these years, apart from the increasingly powerful power in his hands, Xiao Jiu's suspicion has also become more and more serious.

He sent Ping An, who had been by his side since childhood, to read the imperial decree, and deliberately ordered Yu Zhuo, who had always been at odds with him, to keep an eye on him.

Are these temptations just for fear that his death will not be clean enough, so that he can escape from the dungeon by feigning death?

Ji Yunqing, Ji Yunqing.

In this world, is there anyone you can really trust?

"My lord, my lord..."

The voice in the ear is too annoying.

Since they don't even allow him to die, then let's scare them!

Xie Jinbai opened his eyes suddenly, and glanced over impatiently with sharp eyes.

At this glance, he was stunned.

"Gongming?"

All his life, Xie Jinbai was able to remain calm when encountering any frightening things. This time, seeing this Xiao Gongming and Xiao Zishu who had been with him since he was a child and even died because of him once, he was really surprised.

Could it be that this is what people call the image of returning light?

Xie Jinbai is too strong to drink, and he is drunk when he touches a glass. Even if he accidentally eats dishes that are seasoned with wine, his face will turn red and he needs a short nap to get rid of the alcohol.

In the past, when socializing, Xiao Zishu would secretly replace Xie Jinbai's cup with tea.

At today's banquet, there was a dish of drunken shrimp. When Xiao Zishu noticed it, Xie Jinbai had already moved his chopsticks.

Xie Jinbai's face was flushed just now, and he closed his eyes and rested on his elbows. Outsiders only thought that Xie Jinbai was angry with Meng Lang, the son of Mr. Tang who proposed to marry him in public. Only Xiao Zishu knew that his master was suffering from alcoholism and needed to go back to rest as soon as possible.

In the past, when Xie Jinbai closed his eyes and took a nap to sober up, Xiao Zishu would never dare to disturb her.

But this time the situation was really special, Xiao Zishu had to remonstrate in a low voice, "Master, our task of patrolling Chun'an this time is mainly to solve the flood problem in Chun'an under the order of the emperor. Tang Shimao is the prefect of Chun'an, And I heard that Tang Shimao is only the eldest son of the direct line. If Young Master Tang is really beaten up, Tang Shimao will not let it go. Tang Xiaotang offended the master, and death is not a pity, but it is really inappropriate to quarrel with Tang Shimao at the moment. Please also master Think twice, and spare that Tang Xiaotang's life."

Xie Jinbai thought to himself, it's really interesting this time around.

Gongming's temperament of cherishing words like gold has become a chatterbox.

What little Mr. Tang, when did he know what little Mr. Tang, but he knew a little Mr. Tang.

Xiao Zishu's voice was low, and Xie Jinbai felt drowsy when he heard it, his whole body seemed to be floating in mid-air, his body was light, and his mind was in a daze, thinking that this person's dying is not painful, it's just annoying, it's okay He didn't pay attention to what the other party said at all.

Xiao Zishu bent down and talked with Xie Jinbai's ear. Tang Shimao didn't know what Xiao Zishu said, but he guessed that he was pleading for his useless son.

Tang Shimao took the opportunity to get up from behind the hollow carved short table, he walked to the center of the Yinghui Terrace, bent over and cupped his hands, and bowed to Xie Jinbai to the end, "Master Xie, the dog is ignorant, and will be strictly controlled from now on. Please, Mr. Xie, look at it in the face of old people." Come on, let me spare the dog this time."

In fact, even if what Xiao Zishu said at this time was not pleading for his son Xiaotang, Tang Shimao couldn't care less.

Under the responsibilities of the attendants, the voice of Xiaotang lying on the bench became weaker and weaker.

No matter how ineffective this evil is, it is also the blood of their Tang family, and Xiaoyu only left him this one seedling during his lifetime, even if he risked his future, he couldn't let his son have an accident under his nose!

The officials present drank tea one by one, and even looked down at the patterns of their own robes and costumes, pretending to be dumb.

Among the dozen or so people, none of them was willing to stand up and say a word for Tang Shimao, Tang Xiaotang and his son.

Tang Shimao was a high-ranking official on weekdays. He never refused to attend their banquets, and never gave gifts during festivals. He even returned the gifts they sent to the door. The most important thing is that although Xie Jinbai, the inspector, is only at the seventh rank, he is really a big celebrity in front of the imperial court.

I heard that the emperor would not refuse to comply with all the requests made by Mr. Xie. If he offended Mr. Xie, he would lose his official position at least, and his whole family would be sent to the frontiers at worst.

After ten years of hard work, I don't know how many hardships and hardships I have to go through all the way, before I can be admitted to the imperial court and become an official.

How could the officials present intercede for Tang Shimao, Tang Xiaotang and his son at the risk of losing their official positions and even their lives?

Not to mention, this young master Tang didn't know if he had just had some flower wine in some Qingguan, and suddenly came here, not only boldly professed his love to Xie Jinbai, but also said that he wanted Xie Jinbai to marry him as his wife, it was like going to heaven!

Xie Jinbai did not express his opinion for a long time, and a group of colleagues pretended to be deaf and dumb. Tang Shimao felt a deep sense of powerlessness and despair.

His eyes were red, he gritted his teeth, and knelt on the ground, "I beg my lord Xie to ignore the fault of the villain and spare the dog this time!"

Tang Shimao has completely let go of his old face.

As long as this evil obstacle can be safe this time, even if he loses his official position, he will admit it. After all, he will live up to the friendship his mother had for him during her lifetime.

Whether it was Tang Shimao or the former Xiao Zishu, when they were talking to Xie Jinbai, they all lowered their heads. The officials present were afraid that they would get into trouble if they were not careful, and they almost pressed their heads directly on their chests.At this time, as long as someone looked up, they would easily catch the real shock in the eyes of the young inspector who always had a coquettish smile on his lips.

Being short, Xie Jinbai did something so stupid that he would never do it in his lifetime——

He pinched his thigh hard.

"Thank you, my lord, for avoiding the dog!"

Tang Shimao's head hit the blue brick ground heavily.

"Father! Don't, Father—please, don't!"

Tang Xiaotang just passed out from the pain.

He opened his eyes in a daze, and what he saw was the scene where his back was always straight on weekdays, except for his father, who would never bend down easily when he knelt down to worship the world, and knelt down to plead for him.

Tang Xiaotang's eyes widened and he yelled hoarsely.

The hoarse voice of the young man brought Xie Jinbai back to his senses.

"stop!"

The two attendants stopped their hands when they heard the sound.

Xie Jinbai got up and left the seat.

He walked quickly to the bench where Tang Xiaotang was lying on his stomach, and raised his face with his left hand.
