It's not Xu Xingmu's style to fall into another trap.
If Liang Xiaozhi admitted his mistake and was willing to take responsibility for all his actions, Xu Xingmu would naturally not say anything more.
Even willing to turn enemies into friends.
After all, the other party is the son of Wu Linghou, a high-ranking figure among the younger generation of the Great Xia Dynasty. If he can make friends with him, he will have another top-level connection in the circle.
In the future, it will be much smoother when walking in officialdom.
Why not?
But the problem is, when he saw Liang Xiao's unruly attitude when he turned around, he knew that the resentment in the other party's heart would never go away, and the prodigal son could not look back after all.
Even if he showed weakness and left today, he would still come to his door sooner or later.
Xu Xingmu had no time to contend with it.
Therefore, while several big bosses are here, Xu Xingmu must resolve the grudge between the two at once to avoid future troubles.
Liang Xiao turned around and looked at Xu Xingmu coldly, "Don't bully others too much! Do you really think that this young master is afraid of you?"
"Little Marquis, we in the Hanlin Academy are all scholars. We are the most reasonable and will never bully others. Don't worry about this."
Wang Zhihuan raised his hand to signal everyone to step back.
As Xu Xingmu's immediate boss, he did his best to stand up for him.
Especially Jiang Boyang and Xu Meng, two powerful competitors, were watching from the sidelines. He had to show his defense and tell them with practical actions that he could protect Xu Fenglin!
"However, we will not be bullied by others in vain."
Wang Zhihuan looked old, but his eyes were as cold as daggers. Liang Xiao did not dare to look at him.
In particular, this old bachelor had a kind of righteousness that could only be cultivated by a pure scholar. He was frank and fearless, which made Liang Xiao feel ashamed and frustrated.
Power and oppression don't seem to work on this old man.
If he insists on confronting Wang Zhihuan, he will definitely lose.
He could only bite the bullet and sneer, "What? If the younger one doesn't come out now, why don't we let the older one come out and take the lead?"
Wang Zhihuan glared, a little displeased, "Little Marquis, don't use aggressive tactics and use your words anymore! Let's make things clear. How will today's matter be resolved? Should we keep it private or report it to the police? The imperial court, please ask the three judicial departments to jointly review?"
"Just try! Think I'm afraid of you!"
Liang Xiao was finally aroused, "You want to play, right? I will play with you to the end!"
Wang Zhihuan sneered, "I don't want to play, I just want to seek justice for the weak!"
Seeing that Liang Xiao had a straight face and said nothing, Wang Zhihuan didn't care. He folded his hands and said to himself, "I already know the cause and process of the matter clearly. I won't go into details here. It will be written into the file in the future. . Today I will only list the four crimes of the young marquis for your judgment..."
He polished his words, signaled Lin Qing to record them, and then said solemnly, "Little Marquis, you violated the laws of Daxia by violating the laws of Daxia by violating the women of the people in the street. This is a crime. Later, the soldiers from the Marquis Mansion were summoned to gather a crowd to injure others. There was a chaos of swordsmen and soldiers in the long street. This was a second crime. You were already a guilty person and were detained by the Dongcheng Military and Horse Division to await interrogation by the Ministry of Punishment. However, you were forcibly taken out by Sea Dog, the father-in-law of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The whole process The Ministry of War has not carried out any procedures, so this move is no different from a prison break... For the third crime, you and Hai Gouzi and the Qinhuai people, the right minister of the Ministry of War, will suffer together; as for the fourth crime, Eunuch Jin has the most say, he saw you with his own eyes Driving into the palace and passing all the way is a crime of disrespect! It is suspected of contempt for the imperial power!"
Having said this, Wang Zhihuan sighed softly, "Little Marquis, if you take these four crimes together, you are guaranteed to be imprisoned for more than thirty years. If you are not lucky, it is possible to be exiled to the border."
Eunuch Jin also followed and sighed, "Oh, thirty years! Our family doesn't know if we can live for thirty years! The laws of our Daxia Dynasty are indeed strict enough. What a pity, Wu Ling He only has such a son..."
Jiang Bowang, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, could not stand anymore and intervened to join in the fun, "Don't worry, little Marquis, in this trial of the three divisions, I will urge the Ministry of Punishment to handle the case impartially and will never give you an extra sentence... If you are worried... , on the day of the trial, I can also invite the entire city to observe the trial, and open the trial to ensure that no one operates behind closed doors! It will be absolutely fair and just!"
Thank you so much! ...Liang Xiao glanced at Jiang Bowang, who was looking upright, and the idea of relying on his own power to turn right and wrong collapsed instantly!
His face turned pale, he stumbled back half a step, and suddenly pointed at Xu Xingmu and shouted, "You are bluffing me! He also took action at the end of the long street, slapped this young master several times, and injured more than a dozen soldiers of the Marquis Mansion. , even if he has to go to jail, he still has a share!"
Wang Zhihuan shook his head, "The nature of the attack is different. You took the initiative to hurt others, while Feng Lin was forced to defend himself. Even if it causes trouble to His Majesty, it will still be your fault."
Liang Xiao's expression changed, and the panic in his heart could no longer be calmed down.
He vaguely felt that he seemed to have really gone big this time!
Those rotten scholars in the Hanlin Academy look gentle and weak, but if you really fight them, it's like kicking an iron plate. The other party is unscathed, but you are hurt half to death!
Especially that damn Wang Zhihuan, he was like a red-hot iron plate, not only hard, but also hot!
Liang Xiao couldn't bear it at all. He had nothing to say, so he could only retreat and lean on a crooked tree to breathe heavily to relieve his uneasiness.
"After all, a child cannot withstand a blow."
Wang Zhihuan's face was full of boredom, as if he was not satisfied yet. He waved his hand and said, "Little Marquis, why don't you let the adults in the family do it? I'm afraid you won't be able to handle this matter, and lest anyone say that there are so many of us bullying this person." child."
Liang Xiao also wanted to go back and shake people. It would be best for his father to come over and kill all the people present!
But his legs are weak! I can't walk on the road at all!
When he thought that he was about to face more than thirty years in prison, and might even be exiled to the border, his body couldn't stop trembling.
His back was soaked with cold sweat, and his face was full of panic. Where was the little Marquis' majestic appearance?
At the helpless moment, a tall, tall, red-faced man strode in from outside the palace.
Holding a heavy knife in his left hand and a black token in his right hand, he quickly crossed the corridor in the courtyard and came to the crooked-neck tree.
"Guan Hong!"
Liang Xiao suddenly saw a familiar red face in front of him. He was surprised at first, and then overjoyed. He rushed over like a savior, "Did my father ask you to come?"
Guan Hong nodded, "The Marquis asked the last general to take you back... I thought you were being tried in the Military and Horse Department, so I hurried over, but I didn't expect that Eunuch Hai had already brought you out. After asking about it, he said that you were going to Kunci again. Palace, I have no choice but to follow here. After several twists and turns, it was delayed for some time, which made you feel wronged. "
"It's good to come! It's good to come!"
Liang Xiao rarely cursed. He glanced at the black token in Guan Hong's hand, and his scattered courage gradually regained his strength. "The black slaughter token has been handed over to you! Guan Hong, this time, you can be regarded as a blessing to this young master." Come back!"
The expressions of Wang Zhihuan and others finally changed.
Black massacre order!
It was a symbol of the military power and rights granted to Wu Linghou by Emperor Ming Long personally when he was granted the title of Youzhu Kingdom of Daxia.
It is said that with this order in hand, the eight thousand dead soldiers of the Marquis Palace and the twenty thousand elite armor of the Imperial City can be mobilized at any time!
When I saw the order, I still saw the Ming Dragon Emperor.
In other words, everyone present must kneel down.
"Wu Linghou is so unreasonable. In order to protect his son, he sacrificed the Black Massacre Order so casually! I must go to His Majesty to consult him!"
Xu Meng, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, was the most sensitive to tokens of military power. He darkened his face on the spot and was very unhappy.
Liang Xiao laughed wildly, "It's up to you to participate or not, my father is not afraid of this! Don't say so much, just kneel down in front of me! Otherwise, I will punish you for the crime of disrespect first, and then adjust The soldiers will crush your mansion, and then..."
"Little Marquis, be careful what you say!"
Seeing that he was getting more and more outrageous, Guan Hong hurriedly reminded him.
The Black Slaughter Order was originally a legacy from the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Although it was granted by Emperor Ming Long personally, it was justifiable.
But it always makes people feel a little uncomfortable to have such a powerful military power in the hands of Wu Linghou, who has a high position and has always been suspected of having high achievements.
Civil and military officials have repeatedly suggested to Emperor Minglong to withdraw the Black Slaughter Order to avoid the occurrence of more heresies in the future.
However, Emperor Minglong was still embarrassed to speak to Wu Linghou due to their personal friendship.
I only typed a few words inadvertently, warning Wu Linghou to take out the black slaughtering order and play with it, and hide it at home to avoid misunderstanding.
So going out with the order today has already violated a taboo.
If the young Marquis continues to talk nonsense and reaches His Majesty, he will really bring countless troubles to the Marquis.
Liang Xiao didn't care, and stretched out his hand to take the black slaughter order. At the same time, he felt moved in his heart, "My father has been calling me a traitor all day long. He said that if I get into trouble again, he will never care about my life or death, and will even kill me." Break my legs yourself! Haha, you know he just said it casually! He is a precious son like me, how dare he let anything happen to me?"
He was feeling proud in his heart, but his outstretched hand fell into the air.
Guan Hong withdrew her right hand holding the order, looked at Liang Xiao who looked surprised, and said with a cold expression, "Little Marquis, I can't give you this token."
"Um?"
Liang Xiao's expression changed, "What do you mean?"
Guan Hong did not reply, but suddenly said to Xu Meng and others who were about to kneel down, "Sir, the Marquis said, you don't have to kneel down when you receive an order... The Marquis asked me to bring out the Black Slaughter Order this time, We are not here to protest, but to fulfill our duties as a father.”
Xu Meng let out a heavy snort when he heard the words, and raised his thick eyebrows slightly, "What the hell is Wu Linghou doing?"
Wang Zhihuan seemed to have figured out Wu Linghou's thoughts. He narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Master Hou understands righteousness."
Liang Xiao almost went crazy, the ups and downs of emotions were surging back and forth in his heart, making his face turn green and white for a while, "Guan Hong, don't joke with me, bring me the token!"
"The Marquis knows that the general cannot control you, so he asked the general to bring out the token."
Guan Hong raised the token high, faced Liang Xiao, looked solemn, and shouted, "You! Kneel down!"
