Jingzhao Mansion.
The dignitaries outside the mansion have all gone home.
We all have big families, big positions, and high authority, so we can just watch the excitement, and it’s not a big deal, so there’s no need to wait here like this!
But after they left, the shopkeeper of the small tea shop still couldn't get a rest, because there were still a group of these important people's entourage sitting in the room.
In front of the big shots, these people are nodding and bowing slaves, but in the eyes of the shopkeeper, they are real big shots.
"Haa~"
A man yawned, "Are we just waiting like this?"
The person on the side smiled and said: "Otherwise? Why don't you go into the palace and ask?"
"That won't work, I still have a sweetheart in Fenghe Pavilion!"
"Hey, I heard that the Ningbing girl in Fenghe Pavilion is very popular recently? Have you exchanged information with her?"
"This girl Ning Bing is indeed good, but how come she suddenly became the number one in Fenghe Pavilion, overshadowing so many oirans from other families?"
"You don't understand this, right? It's not because there is such a big thing in Sishui Prefecture, and everyone wants to know it for themselves. After all this going back and forth, it's become a boom!"
A group of men would go off topic while chatting, and they would always go off in the same direction.
It's always been about talking about two things and keeping the truth straight.
Fortunately, there were serious people present, who were paying attention to the movements outside Jingzhao Mansion. In their field of vision, a figure riding a horse from the direction of Miyagi appeared.
"I'm coming!"
Only then did everyone break away from their excitement and look sideways.
I saw the man who was obviously dressed as a palace servant reining in his horse at the entrance of Jingzhao Mansion, and then hurriedly entered.
In the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion, Han Xueming, who was destined to be sleepless tonight, was leaning against a brazier with his staff, chatting about the direction of the night and drying off the pain, blood and tears of the past.
"Sir, what do you think the outcome of tonight will be?"
"It's hard to say! Mr. Xia is responsible for the truth, and Mr. British is responsible for the power, but this world, especially this court, has never been a place where just being reasonable can lead to action!"
"Behind Young Master Xia, isn't there also Concubine De?"
"Empress De Fei." Han Xueming sighed, "Concubine De has a good reputation, but how many people in the outer court recognize her name? Concubine Shu is recognized as domineering, but not so many people are shy. Go higher. If the British public can be defeated this time, maybe someone with real ability will dare to vote."
Speaking of this, Han Xueming was suddenly stunned, and then said with emotion: "I still underestimated this Mr. Xia. If he had thought of this at that moment, his future would be limitless."
The staff member was stunned. He was obviously the one making the plans, but why did he feel like his brain couldn't keep up with his master's? "Sir, what do you mean?"
Han Xueming was waiting for an explanation when the guard outside the door hurried over, "Sir, there is someone in the palace again!"
Han Xueming didn't care to say anything more and stood up immediately. As soon as he walked to the door, Jin Zhong also walked in.
Han Xueming smiled and complimented: "Eunuch Jin, your Majesty really thinks highly of you!"
Jin Zhong smiled at him and nodded, then his face turned serious, "Your Majesty orally."
Han Xueming quickly bowed his waist and raised his hands to show respect.
"Captain Zhou Zhenwei of Jingzhao Prefecture took bribes, violated the law, and harmed Zhongliang. He was ordered to be immediately deprived of his official position, imprisoned, and handed over to the competent authorities for deliberation and punishment. The innocent man was immediately released."
Did the British public really suffer a loss?
Surprised in his heart, Han Xueming shouted, "I accept the holy edict!"
After reciting the oral instructions, Jin Zhong also regained his smile and said, "Master Han, let's leave now. We can't keep that person waiting any longer."
"Eunuch Jin, please come this way."
The prison was filled with rancid odor and filth.
Only Xia Jingyun's cell was cleaned cleanly by the jailer, and there were good wine and food beside it.
Xia Jingyun was sitting calmly and calmly.
In fact, I was quite panicked.
If he succeeds in this step, it goes without saying that he will successfully break the situation, but if he fails, it will really make the already poor situation worse.
The key to the problem is that he has never seen the emperor who stands at the center of the world's power.
I just had some chats with my sister in Sishui Prefecture, and later made some deductions with Su Yuanshang, who had met the emperor.
But there is always a lack of practical and clear perception. Without this thing, it is very likely to make wrong judgments.
Even if we look at the power structure, the direction of the government, His Majesty’s age, and all aspects, there is a 98% chance that His Majesty will take over his sword, there is still the slightest possibility that His Majesty will lose his heart. Crazy?
Counting the time, you should have seen the outcome by now, right?
No matter what, someone from the palace should come and let him go. It was just a question of whether to invite him out or to lead him out.
There was a sound of footsteps, and soon there was the sound of chains being opened. Xia Jingyun quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be more airy and calm.
"Mr. Xia?"
Jin Zhong stood in front of the cell door, smiling apologetically, "Tonight's cause has been found out. It was Zhou Zhenwei, the captain of Jingzhao Prefecture, who corrupted the law and harmed Zhongliang. Your Majesty has ordered that he be deprived of his official position and handed over to a judge for questioning."
Han Xueming nodded and said: "In response to this matter, our Jingzhao Mansion will also have official documents and announcements later, and we will definitely clear Mr. Xia's innocence."
Xia Jingyun sighed slightly. As expected, the investigation only focused on the captain and did not involve the Lu family.
But he is not stupid. If it involves the Lu family, it is not a matter that the small Jingzhao Mansion can solve.
It is impossible for the center to invent a purpose even if you think about it.
At most, some exchanges and games were conducted under the water.
take it easy!
This game finally got off to a good start. Next, it depends on whether I can get a piece of meat from His Majesty's body that he cut off from the Lu family.
Thinking of this, he stood up and bowed respectfully to the two of them, with a sincere expression on his face, "I have been wronged tonight, and I am filled with grief and anger. It is inevitable that I have been a little willful and caused trouble to you two adults. Please forgive me."
Jin Zhong said with a smile: "Young Master Xia is serious. Your Majesty is aware of your grievances."
As soon as this signal was given, Han Xueming naturally did not dare to make excuses, and said with a smile: "It is indeed as my father-in-law said, speaking of such a scum in our Jingzhao Mansion, it is my turn, Jingzhao Yin, to apologize to Mr. Xia."
Xia Jingyun smiled and said: "If we want to talk, there is no need to stand in this prison. I will serve wine at Mingyu Tower another day and apologize to you two."
"Yes, yes, let's go out first."
With that said, the three of them walked out together.
Not long after, the shackled Captain Zhou was ruthlessly pushed by his former men into the cell where Xia Jingyun had just been sitting.
Outside Jingzhao Mansion, Su Yuanshang, Bai Yunbian and others were sitting on the carriage, staring at the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.
When something like this happened, and it was at a wine party organized by him, Wang Ruoshui had no choice but to wait.
At first, he felt somewhat depressed.
This is the current situation of Concubine De's family in the outer court. Any captain of Jingzhao Prefecture would dare to arrest Concubine De's sworn brother directly without losing face, let alone people like them.
If someone else hugs someone else's thigh, they will be promoted and rich, and show off their power. If you hug Concubine De's thigh, you will hug someone who is lonely!
If he hadn't still had some sense of shame, and Xia Jingyun had just helped him resolve a catastrophe, after what happened tonight, maybe he would have thought about changing the family.
After sitting there with a gloomy look on his face for a while, he watched people coming from the palace and went straight into the Jingzhao Mansion. He wondered whether Concubine De had persuaded His Majesty or to rescue him.
No matter what, the empress is still kind and worthy of this virtue.
But not long after, the chamberlain actually left, alone!
He was stunned when he saw the third son of the Lu family leaving too.
But Mr. Xia didn't come out!
He confusedly asked Mr. Su, who looked very powerful and calm, but the other person shook his head and asked them to wait and see with a solemn expression.
About an hour later, while he was dozing off, he was woken up again by the movement in the carriage.
He looked out through the curtains and saw a chamberlain riding a horse towards Jingzhao Mansion.
"It turned out to be a dream!"
He turned around and fell asleep again, but he heard Su Yuanshang laughing with relief, "It's done! It's really done!"
Wang Ruoshui rubbed his sleepy eyes with a confused look on his face, "Mr. Su, what happened?"
Su Yuanshang looked at Chen Fugui who was wrapped in clothes and squatting at the wall with the guards beside the white clouds outside the carriage, "Brother Chen, get up and get ready to greet the young master."
Wang Ruoshui blinked and suddenly slapped himself.
hiss!
It hurts so much, it’s not a dream!
As soon as he stopped, he found that everyone around him looked at him with a strange look.
Bai Yunbian asked doubtfully: "You seem sad to hear this news?"
In front of the gate of Jingzhao Mansion, Jin Zhong said with a smile: "Mr. Xia, at three o'clock tomorrow, my servant will come to pick you up at Jiang'an Marquis Mansion. Don't forget it."
Xia Jingyun nodded, "Don't worry, father-in-law, I won't let him run away in vain this time."
Everyone smiled slightly, and Han Xueming smiled and said: "Mr. Xia, it's late at night, I will send a few guards to escort you back to your house."
Xia Jingyun shook his head, "No, I have someone to pick up."
As he spoke, he pointed not far away. Under the weak light of the carriage lantern, there were several waiting figures standing.
Xia Jingyun said goodbye to the two of them and walked over.
Bai Yunbian pulled him to check. Xia Jingyun smiled, but looked at Su Yuanshang and nodded, "Don't worry, it's okay. Everything is as planned."
Bai Yunbian immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly asked: "What's the plan?"
Xia Jingyun hugged his shoulders and whispered: "The plan to divide the meat."
"Let's go, everyone. It's cold and bitter. I've been tired of waiting. Go back home and warm up a few bottles of wine. Let's talk about the road ahead."
This weekend, I will try to write another chapter
