"Report to the emperor, Mother Cen has already brought it here."

Previously, half of the courtiers had their backs to the gate of the palace. Under the pretense of having nothing to do with them, now they heard the endless sighs and praises from the palace, so they all turned around to find out.Unexpectedly, where the eyes gather, there is a group of dignified and solemn appearance.

She is not like some people? She is full of money, and she is not like that old ignorant vulgar woman who loses her heart and fears when she comes up.Her movements of pulling clothes are skillful and natural, and her eyes are calm like a strategist who has been trained in the battlefield.Chaotang is just another game field she has not set foot in yet.Almost no one? Doubt, she is not really Cen Zhongyu.Even Cen Zhuo couldn't help but be drawn into the role she presented, suspecting that the mother back then was galloping around the Jiangnan shopping mall with such a posture.

What happened? So far, the play still has to go on.Cen Zhu was allowed to stand up, greeted this "cheap mother", bowed respectfully, "Mother~"

The man said "huh" and stretched out his hand naturally. Cen Zhu was about to suffocate, but he still pretended to take it calmly and helped her walk to the center of the hall.

"Minister? Lady Cen Li pays homage to His Majesty."

"Sister Cen Li?" Li Pinghong silently read her self-proclaim, and suddenly a lot of doubts arose in his heart.But the current situation does not allow him to study it carefully, so he nodded and asked her to stand up, and asked the servant to repeat the ins and outs of this matter, and asked her to verify her identity.

Cen Zhu was a little uneasy and evasive throughout the whole process, because he didn't listen to what she said and let the matter sink.

She kept her composure, glanced at Cen Zhu, and said in a tone of clear teaching but deep love for her son, "You son is reckless, and you are shocked to the court by such a trivial matter. I have disturbed the hearing of the Heavenly Family, and I would like to apologize to His Majesty and all your lords on behalf of the dogs. I also hope that the Holy One will forgive her because she is still young and impulsive."

His tone was similar to that of Cen Zhu, so he must have checked it beforehand.But when this proposal was put forward by her, it was inexplicably more convincing than what the dog said.It seems that the mother and son of the Cen family really want to calm things down.Shen Xi sighed, the matter is over? So far, what's the point?

At this time, Fu Minzheng stood up with a smile on his face and said: "Old Madam Cen? You are serious. This matter was not instigated by Mr. Cen from the beginning to the end. Mr. Cen was just an instinctive counterattack to defend himself. That's all, what's the crime if it's self-defense? Please see clearly."

"That's right. Could it be that you are slandering others? Are you not allowed to defend yourself? Madam Cen? That's too tolerant. People? Everyone? You've been bullied. There's no reason not to fight back." There are people among the generals? Cen Zhu spoke.

"Infantry Commander Yamen? Before you speak, you should first understand how to write the word 'bully'!" Lan Lie suddenly widened his eyes, and Lei Sheng said: "If you don't know, go back and ask your family's Feng Hua? Ji Admiral Feng, censor? Prosecuting and impeaching is a natural authority, how can you be allowed here? This is confusing the public!"

Seeing that the quarrel was about to start again, Li Pinghong patted the table and said, "Okay, don't make any noise. Since this matter has become a public case, let's handle it according to the procedures of the public case, Mr. Wang? Please bring out the case of Cen Zhongyu's old case." Let’s take out the deed monogram to identify it!”

"Promise." Wang Zhongxu, the Minister of the Household Department who was named, came out from the front row and faced the crowd. "In order to prevent everyone from feeling that this humble minister is unfair, I sealed Cen Zhongyu's deed letter half a month ago and handed it over temporarily. It will be kept in Dali Temple, and Master Qingyue of Dali Temple please show me the deed." Yue Haiyu had already prepared a wooden box, and asked someone to bring it to the hall, "Before it opens, please Mrs. Cen, write it in hand Monograms? Compare."

Cen Zhu held his breath, and saw Mrs. Li calmly wrote the four words "Zhushan Zhongyu" on the rice paper provided by the servant, with complicated strokes and twists and turns.Wang Zhongxu made a point immediately. He opened the box to compare, the trend of the strokes, the succession and transformation, and even the length?

Wang Zhongxu smiled knowingly, "Thank you, Mrs. Cen?" He turned around and returned to Li Pinghong, and presented the old and new monograms to the imperial court.After seeing it, Li Pinghong also nodded slightly, and confirmed: "It's me? No doubt."

Everyone whispered to each other, conveying the final result of the case.

"Zhao Chen, do you have something to say?"

Zhao Chen knelt down and kowtowed expressionlessly, "I have nothing to say." In fact, from the moment "Cen Zhongyu" stepped into the hall, he knew that he was bound to lose.

But he went on to stand up and said: "But I still want to tell you, Cen Zhu is this person? He is smooth and scheming, and he has repeatedly used his family wealth to invite him to be favored. Within two years, he has been promoted several levels, and even has many people inside and outside the court. There are injustices. Now, she is acting as a high-ranking official in the admonishment court with her inexperienced resources. She has no merit in the country and no benefit to the court. Please be aware of the details and stay away from such treacherous villains? Don't be deceived by her words! If you die, You must also speak for the Holy One."

"Presumptuous!" Li Pinghong was furious, and jumped up against the case: "Do you mean that I don't know my loyalty and traitors, and I don't know right from wrong?! What a tough Zhao Yushi? Come here?!"

This time even Shen Xi's head grew bigger, and he knelt down to plead for mercy, "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhao? It's just a moment of impatience and unscrupulous words, and there is no malice towards your majesty. Please be merciful! Forgive him this time!"

The censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate also pleaded for Zhao Chen one after another.

Cen Zhu was about to die of anger, she really didn't understand why Zhao Chen was always targeting herself.What kind of smooth nature, scheming, and giving people a big hat at every turn? When did the procuratorate become a gathering place for shrews to beat the street.It simply tarnished the foundation laid hard by the previous generation.Hmph, I knew I shouldn't have saved him in the first place, let him die in front of Huafeng Gate, lest he bark like a mad dog here.

When she watched coldly, Mrs. Li also shook her head slightly, not letting her help the enemy again.This relieved her somewhat.Thinking to himself, Zhao Chen is finished this time.

Li Pinghong seemed to hold back his anger, but he looked at the censors with unprecedented alienation and disgust.We all know that this is not a good sign.

"I originally thought that you would forgive you again and again out of publicity and sincerity. Unexpectedly, you have become so narrow-minded. You have never changed your mind after repeated admonitions. You have retaliated against Shangfeng and reckless again and again. It is really hard to forgive you. Someone?! Take off his crown and clothes, I will be expelled from the court, and I will not return to Beijing without my order from now on. Retire from the court!"

Since the rumors were heard in Shangkai today, there has never been a censor who was directly demoted from the capital because of his crimes.All the censors? I wanted to persuade them again, but the emperor didn't give them a chance, and directly announced the decision to "retire from the court".Shen Xi was in a hurry, and went straight to the capital Yushi Lan Lie. He wanted to beg him to intercede, but he said blankly: "This is his own choice, and he can't blame anyone." Obviously he didn't want to do this for this. Waiting for things to waste the king's patience and tolerance, "You also take care of yourself, there are more important things to do!"

After going down to court, Cen Zhu walked down the steps with Mrs. Li's hand without complacency.Jiang Yiting, Fu Minzheng, Zheng Julian and others all came to see him.Cen Zhu greeted them, and after introducing them, he suddenly saw two guards in front escorting Zhao Chen down.She asked Jiang Yiting to take care of "mother", and then ran over quickly by herself. "Stay here, guards, I want to have a few words with Mr. Zhao."

"Master Zhao?! I will see you off early."

"Hmph, villain? Success!"

Cen Zhu was not angry, on the contrary, he said with emotion: "Master Zhao, I am actually quite curious. Cui Jiasanlang has no grievances with you, why do you insist on putting him to death?!"

Zhao Chen's pupils shrank, which was an instinctive defensive reaction.

"What do you want to say?"

"I didn't say anything, I just wanted to ask Mr. Zhao? Don't you feel ashamed of your conscience for forcing to death a young man who is indifferent to the world?"

Zhao Chen stopped talking for a while, but he couldn't refute.

"Lord Cen? This statement is wrong," Shen Xi walked over the steps, "The death of Cui Moxian cannot be prevented by human power. Even if Master Zhao had a dispute with Cui Sanlang, it is not right. Yes, just like this time! It’s just out of publicity, and I didn’t expect such a consequence. Lord Cen? So why? Do you have to be aggressive?!”

Cen Zhu sneered, "Really? It turns out that everyone, the procuratorate, justified themselves like this? Out of public interest? Ha, what a joke, who knows what kind of heart you have hidden in private? Just open your mouth and say something to yourself. It's in my own interest, so what's the point of saying black and white? Other people's life and death have nothing to do with me? As long as I do my best, I'll be fine. If you feel wronged or wronged You deserve it! Who told me that I am a member of the Metropolitan Procuratorate?! Who told you that you are not perfect? ​​As long as you have loopholes, don’t blame me for cheating. Anyway, no one in this world? Dare to slit my mouth! You say Isn’t that right, Mr. Shen?”

"Master Cen, I don't understand what you said. Since you have already won, why bother to make sarcastic remarks. Don't forget, you are also a member of the Metropolitan Procuratorate!"

"That's right, I almost forgot, now there are people who are not from the Procuratorate! What a pity! Mr. Zhao, in fact, I am very sorry for you! The death of Cui Moxian, Obviously Mr. Shen also has a role, but look at the people at home now, how neatly they are dressed in official uniforms! Look again...why is it that you are unlucky every time?"

Zhao Chen stared and said: "You don't need to drive us apart!"

Cen Zhu laughed? Laughed? He was noncommittal, "I still remember that in front of Huafeng Gate, Mr. Zhao was beaten so miserable! I heard people say that Mr. Shen and many censors were there at that time. "At the banquet! How difficult would it be for the procuratorate to stop this incident on the bald man's head? Why are you the only one? Did you get beaten?"

Zhao Chen didn't speak this time, but turned to look at Shen Xi.

The latter smiled meaningfully and said, "Master Cen is not at the scene, but he remembers the details carefully!"

"Of course, after all, the capital is famous!" She was still smiling, but she learned a lot from her good friend Fu Minzheng's exasperating smile, Mianhu, Zhao and Chen. ?Knowing that she did it on purpose, but ?can't do anything?

"Master Zhao? Even though we will no longer be officials in the same dynasty, there is a heartfelt thing that Cen really wants to tell you!"

She leaned closer, "This person? Heren? Ah, after all, there is a layer of belly between them. Who knows what is under that skin. Although you and I can be regarded as different, but people? Family and you, It may not be the same conspiracy! After all, you are a piece of shining gold, and you can stand up for yourself at a critical moment. I am jealous! If there is no such thing, I really want to be with you Make friends! With you leading the charge, let me provide you with food and drink for the rest of your life!"

Seeing that she was about to post her as brother and brother, Zhao Chen flicked his sleeves in disgust, and asked the guards to take him away immediately after saying "Summer insects can't speak ice", never wanting to see that rampant look again!

Cen Zhu was still not angry, but instead said heartlessly: "Hey, Mr. Zhao? Are you leaving now? Won't you come to my house for a meal?"

Looking back to see if Shen Xi was still there, he smiled and said, "Yo, Lord Shen, haven't you left yet? I didn't reserve a seat for you!"

Shen Xi smiled? Smiled?, "Master Cen? You are really amazing! You can provoke Master Zhao with just a few words? Just walk away!"

"Don't dare! In terms of lip service, I'm still a bit inferior to Mr. Shen!" Cen Zhu achieved his goal, and turned around to leave.

"But, you made a mistake! It is absolutely impossible for you to provoke my relationship with Mr. Zhao!"

"Really? Could it be that you two are broken sleeves?"

Shen Xi's eyes widened in surprise, but he laughed first, "That's not true."

"Then don't talk about it too much! My brother is still clear about it! This man's heart can't be guaranteed! What's more, there's me!"

Shen Xi shrugged and stopped arguing.But he had a playful look on his face: "Master Cen? You are hiding something really deep. I didn't expect that you are a member of the East Palace?"

Cen Zhu was about to leave, but stopped when he heard the words, and when he turned around, he saw Shen Xi scrutinizing her for a long time with an expression that made people feel uncomfortable but couldn't tell why, as if he could hold her What kind of handle? Like a handle, showing disdain on his face.

Cen Zhu went up a few steps, strolled leisurely to his ear, whispered in a whisper that could only be heard by the two of them, and said with a gentle smile: "You're wrong! Actually, the servant of the East Palace belongs to me?! We have been to Wushan Yunyu several times! In the mandarin duck tent, under the East Palace, even the sweat is fragrant! One day, you should also enjoy this ecstasy! It is much better than Yingying Yanyan in Avon Court !"

"Bang!" There was a sound, and when all the officials heard the sound, Cen Zhu had already fallen down the steps.Many people didn't realize it, and when they came back to their senses, they gathered around one after another,

"Master Cen? Are you alright?"

"This Shen Xi is too lawless, how dare he attack Shangfeng in front of Shuo Hua Palace! It's the opposite!"

Who would have thought that Cen Zhu was not angry at all, he covered the half of his face that was dripping with tears, and looked at the person on the steps sarcastically, as if she was the one who benefited from the punch just now, and was facing the vulnerable enemy ?Perform?Teasing and mocking!

What about you? Isn't it?A small chess piece, still there? Showing a sense of superiority in front of me!Indirect proof, people really can't be too confident!Otherwise, even leprosy? I want to eat swan meat!hiss~

"My lords? Be safe and don't be impatient. Please make room for me. I'm going to the imperial court to discuss the matter. Which lord? Would you like to testify for Cen?"

"Me! I am willing!" This Cen Zhu is a celebrity in front of him today? He is also the son of the richest man with a wealth of money. Many people?It's a pity that she usually doesn't like to make friends with officials, and she can't make friends even with a lantern, but now she took the initiative to offer an olive branch, and many winking officials were eager to respond.What's more, with what happened in the early court today, the court's inclination is already obvious. Compared with Shen Xi and Cen Zhuo, they are obviously on the losing side, and the suspicion of retaliation is very high. There is no need to make trade-offs, and you can directly choose to stand in line.

Many censors who heard the news also gathered together and asked what happened to Shen Xi?It's quite a bit of hate that iron can't make steel. "Attacking an important official in the court for no reason, and at such a critical juncture, the next offender will be sent to prison for questioning." Maybe the result will be worse than Zhao Chen.They didn't understand why Shen Xi, who was the most calm in the procuratorate, would be so reckless and give someone a reason for nothing.This has just lost one general, and then lost another in a blink of an eye, which department can bear it.

Unexpectedly, Shen Xi's fists were clenched white, and he only said lightly: "Shameless, I'm not too light to strike. My lords? Don't worry about me. I will bear all the consequences myself."
