Within two days, there was indeed news from the DPRK and China.

The incident of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites embezzling the money from Emperor Mo's Qianqiu banquet was already a hot topic. Two days ago, the Ministry of Criminal Justice suddenly found out the clues and found out where the stolen money went. It turned out to be a mansion purchased by a court official.

His Majesty immediately ordered that the mansion be confiscated and brought to justice.

The Ministry of Punishment immediately sent officers and soldiers to move. Because of the sudden action, it went smoothly. Not only did they confiscate an astonishing amount of gold and silver antiques from the house, they also confiscated a brothel woman from the house.

For some reason, after His Majesty learned of this, he didn't care about how much money was hidden in the house, but was very interested in the woman, and immediately sent someone to investigate the owner of the house and the woman's life experience.

Unexpectedly, the officials of the Ministry of Punishment found out that the house belonged to this woman, but this woman was redeemed by Chen Ti from the Ministry of Rites.

And Chen Ti was the official who first discovered the clues that day and reported Ji You's corruption.

This result was beyond the expectation of anyone in the court.

For some reason, the emperor was extremely dissatisfied with the result, lost his temper with the officials of the Ministry of Punishment, and then ordered Chen Ti to be severely punished, with no mercy.

Redempting a brothel girl is not a crime, and Chen Ti cannot be convicted, but it can be proved that the house and the gold and silver money in the house are all owned by Chen Ti.

In recent years, officials in the Southern Jing Dynasty rarely have clean hands. This amount of stolen money is nothing to them. However, the laws of the Jing Dynasty clearly stipulate that once an official is arrested, he must follow the law. sentencing.

Within a few days, Chen Ti was convicted, and all the officials in the court were very nervous about it for a while.

-

The peach blossoms in Pang's mansion were just in full bloom, and the garden was full of excitement.

But in Pang Shao's courtyard, it was a piece of clean and elegant fresh green.

It was a green calyx plum that was a tribute from Shexian County, Huizhou. Because the late emperor liked it, it would be sent to the harem of Jing Dynasty every year since decades ago.

Due to the difference in water and soil, transportation is difficult, so no more than a hundred plants can be sent to the palace every year.This year, only a few trees were planted outside the palace of the Empress Dowager, but in Pang Shao's courtyard, the entire courtyard was planted like a cloud of mist.

Tea was being boiled on the stove in front of Pang Shao. An official sat down respectfully and bowed his head, while another knelt down in front of him trembling, not daring to lift his head.

It was the official of the criminal department who went to Jiang Suizhou's mansion to investigate the case that day.

Pang Shao lifted the teapot, glanced in slowly, and asked in a low voice amidst the dense heat, "What did Prince Jing tell you?"

The official cried tremblingly: "Big Situ Mingjian! The villain questioned His Royal Highness Prince Jing according to Shangfeng's instructions. All His Highness Prince Jing's confessions are recorded in the book. The villain has absolutely nothing to say!"

Pang Shao smiled lightly.

"And what about the house?" he asked.

The official hurriedly said, "It's the little concubine in Prince Jing's mansion who said it!"

Pang Shao paused and put the lid back on the teapot.

"He told you?" Pang Shao's expression was a little strange.

The official shook his head and said: "No! I overheard it... The concubine was complaining to his maid, saying that His Highness Prince Jing was raising a foreign family outside, and even bought a house for the foreign family in Changlefang... Xiaguan Thinking about it, it is so important at this time, I have to tell His Majesty, this is...!"

He was so frightened that his voice trembled, but Pang Shao smiled lightly.

"Why is Master Zhang nervous? I'm just asking." He said.

The official was trembling and speechless.

Pang Shao smiled lightly: "Okay, my tea is ready, so I won't leave Mr. Zhang, please go back."

The official got up from the ground in embarrassment.

He was about to bow to thank him, but Pang Shao said again: "However, Mr. Zhang."

The official quickly responded: "Da Situ?"

Pang Shao lifted the teapot from the small clay stove, and the flame in the stove jumped up and down, glowing hot red.

"People, if you do something wrong, you must pay the price." Pang Shao said without raising his eyes, pouring tea slowly.

"If you don't take the initiative to pay this price, you can't blame others for taking it twice."

After speaking, he put down the teapot and looked up at the official with a half-smile.

The official was taken aback for a moment, and then bowed again and again: "Thank you, Da Situ, thank you, Da Situ!"

Pang Shao picked up the teacup with one hand, and waved it lazily with the other.

The official stepped back.

Pang Shao took a sip of hot tea, smiled lightly and praised: "The Longjing in Jiangnan is indeed clearer than the one in Yecheng."

As he spoke, he picked up the teapot and said to the officials beside him, "You want to try it too?"

That official was the one responsible for confiscating and counting the stolen money in Chen Ti's mansion this time.

How dare he ask Pang Shao to pour tea for him, he hastily took the teapot with both hands, and extinguished the stove for Pang Shao.

"Da Situ, did you just let him go?" the official asked.

Pang Shao hummed.

"So what if you don't let him go? It's not his fault." Pang Shao smiled lightly, with a gentle and tolerant expression.

But the officials next to him knew what Pang Shao meant.

Some of their members of the Pang party were people who had provoked Pang Shao.Pang Shao took advantage of them, saved their lives, and included them in his party. These people had to work harder for Pang Shao and give Pang Shao double benefits.

For Pang Shao, keeping him is more profitable than killing him.

The official laughed when he heard the words, and praised Pang Shao's words: "The Great Situ has always been lenient and wise."

Pang Shao smiled lightly and remained silent.

Then the official asked again: "Then...then Mr. Chen?"

Pang Shao looked at him.

Seeing that the official was filled with righteous indignation, he said: "It must be Prince Jing who has a grudge against Mr. Chen, that's why he made such a trick! Situ, we can't just let Prince Jing succeed like this?"

But Pang Shao shook his head, sighed, and looked up at the cloudy green calyx plum outside the window.

"Your Majesty has issued an imperial decree, how dare I disobey it?"

He sighed lightly, as if seeing a flying bird die in front of him, understatement.

"It's a pity for that child Chen Ti."

The officials next to him quickly shut up, not daring to speak any more.

Who is the one who counts in the court today?Even with eyes closed, he knew that it was not His Majesty, but a huge man.

There is no imperial decree that cannot be changed by ordinary people, only imperial decrees that ordinary people do not want to change.

The official came here this time for Chen Ti's case.After a few tentative sentences, he roughly understood.

Pang Shaoben never put Chen Ti in his eyes, and only regarded him as a dog that he could command at will.These two times, Chen Ti took it upon himself to go beyond him to curry favor with the Holy Majesty. He had violated Pang Shao's taboo, and was found to have hidden such a large amount of gold and silver that Pang Shao didn't know about. Nor will his life be spared.

The official sighed inwardly.

It was Chen Ti who was blindfolded by greed and couldn't understand his life.

In today's court, who is not begging for life under the hands of Da Da?What good could come of doing small tricks behind his back?

So, this gives the officials a clear idea of ​​what to do.

Naturally, he stomped on Chen Ti before his death to make Pang Shao happy, and then in the process of sending the gold and silver antiques to the national treasury, he tried to find a way to take away [-]-[-]% and send them to Pang Daren's house.

The official thought about it secretly.

Then I heard Pang Shao next to me suddenly sigh with emotion.

"I just didn't expect that this defeated dog in the cage was still thinking about how to bite people."

The officials were puzzled.

Pang Shao didn't mean to explain to him, and drank his tea with lowered eyes, hiding the stern look in his eyes.

"Very interesting."

-

Although Jiang Suizhou was not by Pang Shao's side, he knew how much Pang Shao hated him.

Although Chen Ti was not a high-ranking official, who in the court did not know that he was a distant relative of Pang Shao and a member of Pang Shao?Even if Pang Shao didn't take him seriously, he still had his own little plans, but by disposing of Chen Ti, he was blatantly slapping Pang Shao in the face.

It was a harmless and extremely insulting cold knife.

However, this did not prevent Jiang Suizhou from being happy.

He had already disliked Chen Ti, but this time he saved Ji You and got rid of Chen Ti. For him, it was a good result of killing two birds with one stone.

As for how Pang Shao will hate him...

Anyway, even if he didn't do anything, Pang Shao would not let him go, so why not just fight with him and let him get no favors.

Ever since he got the news, Jiang Suizhou was in a very good mood, as soon as he sat down in front of Huo Wujiu's bed, Huo Wujiu noticed it.

"How are you today?" Jiang Suizhou asked.

Huo Wujiu's complexion is still ugly, but his expression is calm.The veins on the back of his hand were clearly visible, but he was still able to pay attention, so he looked at Jiang Suizhou a few more times.

Jiang Suizhou saw his scrutiny, and looked at Huo Wujiu with bright eyes, just waiting for him to ask himself.

After all, looking at the whole world right now, there are very few people who can really talk to him, let alone share his joy.

But Huo Wujiu is one of them.

But Huo Wujiu paused, looked away, and said in a low voice, "It's fine."

Didn't say anything else.

Jiang Suizhou felt that his breath was suddenly held in his throat, and he couldn't get up or down, it was very uncomfortable.

He was a little dazed for a moment.

Why don't you ask!Huo Wujiu, why didn't he ask!

Unknown, Huo Wujiu, who glanced at him, secretly curled his lips in his heart.

This Prince Jing already wanted to write "I have something nice to tell you" on his face, just waiting for him to ask, but instead it made him want to tease him.

Huo Wujiu looked indifferent, as if he didn't notice Jiang Suizhou's abnormality at all.

I saw Jiang Suizhou took the book from Meng Qianshan, but turned it upside down, hesitated to speak, but couldn't turn the book.

Those bright black eyes glanced at Huo Wujiu several times.

She actually softened his teasing thoughts.

He paused, but still asked, "What's wrong?"

Sure enough, those eyes lit up immediately.

Huo Wujiu felt that those legs that hurt so much that he wanted to kill him were far away from him.

Seeing Prince Jing's reserved expression, he forced a look of indifference, but he couldn't hide his ostentatious expression, quite like a cat looking for tricks.

"This king saved Ji You," he said.

Huo Wujiu nodded: "It's a good thing."

Then Jiang Suizhou continued to say: "Chen Ti beheaded."

Huo Wujiu hummed, thought for a moment, and connected the two things together: "Winning water to the east?"

Jiang Suizhou nodded.

He just stared at Huo Wujiu steadfastly, as if he was waiting for someone to praise him.Huo Wujiu paused, but still couldn't help boasting: "It's a clever plan."

But Jiang Suizhou repeated: "It's Chen Ti."

Huo Wujiu was a little puzzled for a moment: "What happened to him?"

Seeing Prince Jing looking at him with a sense of reason, he blurted out: "Chen Ti, you forgot? The one who gave you the post about the flower feast wanted to humiliate you."

As he said that, Jiang Suizhou smiled slightly: "This king led the disaster to his head."

Huo Wujiu was stunned for a moment.

Only then did he realize that Prince Jing was so happy to tell him this matter not because he saved the life of the Minister of Rites, but because...

He wanted to tell himself that he had avenged himself.

The author has something to say: Huo Wujiu: Thank you for the invitation, although I know he doesn't like me, but I actually started to be crazy.

Wei Kai: He doesn't love you.

Huo Wujiu: I know, hehe.

Wei Kai:?
