But why didn't Wu Jianhui tell the emperor and his aunt about such a trivial matter in private? Do you have to make a fuss in the court? He clearly looks like he wants to put Huang Siyuan to death?
That's not okay. Huang Siyuan is loyal and conscientious, but his temper is a bit blunt.
The old emperor estimated that Huang Siyuan might have offended Wu Jianhui somewhere.
That's why Wu Jianhui had to use the topic to his advantage. At this time, she deliberately went to court to help her, the emperor, find an excuse to prevent the matter from looking too ugly.
The old emperor moved his body and was about to speak.
He glanced at Di Ying, who seemed to have been dozing off, with his head still a little bit there.
Frowning slightly, she nodded and said, "Di Ying, tell me what you think?"
Di Ying: "..."
After straightening the wat board, he slowly walked out of the queue and reluctantly bowed and said "yes".
This attitude made the old emperor happy.
I felt that it was neither emotional nor reasonable for me to ask Di Ying to talk about this matter.
But didn’t he, Di Ying, always talk about the laws of the country?
The old emperor couldn't help but said to Di Ying: "I know it has nothing to do with you, but you are a new official in Dali Temple and it is your first time to enter the early dynasty. Since it is related to the law, let me tell you your opinion."
"yes."
Di Ying responded again, then raised his eyelids and glanced at His Majesty.
At this glance, the old emperor understood.
That clearly means: This is what you asked me to say, don't blame me if you say it wrong?
The old emperor smiled and nodded slightly.
I sighed in my heart: Sure enough, Di Ying is still a new official, and he still doesn’t understand himself? I have an extremely broad mind.
When Di Ying saw His Majesty nodding, he straightened his back in a blink of an eye, his expression became serious, and his pair of phoenix eyes, which were originally somewhat dim, immediately became bright and bright.
This made the old emperor's heart suddenly thump.
Before she could figure it out, she saw Di Ying walking to Wu Jianhui's side, and then started asking questions repeatedly.
"I dare to ask Mr. Zuo Shilang, what kind of items were stolen from your courtyard? How much is it worth? Why didn't you report it to the Jingzhao government office first according to the regulations?
Nearly thirty thieves broke into your house at night. Isn't that a robbery but a robbery? Why do you shy away from the important and only dare to talk about theft?
Is it because you are close to His Majesty that you report directly to His Majesty? Another question: How can a pigeon fly in a snowstorm overnight? How exactly did you learn about the theft?
You swore that the city gates had been opened privately...
Could it be that? You just asked to open the city gate? Or did one of your servants in another courtyard open the city gate and give you a message?
In front of His Majesty, please state the details truthfully. "
Wu Jianhui's eyes widened when he was asked, and he immediately scolded angrily: "Hey, little Di Ying, don't talk nonsense and throw dirty water on me!"
Di Ying was spat in the face and immediately refused to comply. She grabbed Wu Jianhui's sleeve and yelled at His Majesty.
"Your Majesty, look, Wei Chen is an official in the same palace as Mr. Zuo Shilang, and he actually dares to humiliate Wei Chen in front of you. You have to make the decision for Wei Chen!"
The old emperor stroked his forehead.
This Di Ying...
Both inside and outside her words, she was accused of partiality and the Wu family's arrogance, and she was asked to make the decision. What decision would she make? Want to give Wu Jianhui a beating?
What's the difference between that and slapping herself in the face?
But Wu Jianhui is indeed a little... arrogant.
The old emperor was still having a headache when he saw Wu Jianhui push Di Ying away with his backhand.
The push was a little too hard, and Di Ying pushed her to the ground.
After pushing him, he pointed at Di Ying's nose and yelled: "You little boy with a yellow mouth, if you dare to make trouble with the superior officer and disturb the situation without any ability, I will beat you to death!"
Di Ying rolled over and got up, craning her neck and threw herself in front of Wu Jianhui's face. She gritted her teeth and said, "You say I have no ability? Are you saying that His Majesty is blind?"
Wu Jianhui just thought "Yeah" when he heard the first sentence, but choked back when he heard the second sentence.
Pushing Di Ying's face away, he apologized to His Majesty and said, "I haven't rested all night. I'm a little confused. I lost my etiquette in the court. Please forgive me."
After saying that, he endured it, but finally he couldn't hold it back, so he continued: "Di Ying's son questioned Wei Chen in the palace, and Wei Chen was so angry that he was so angry. Please forgive me."
When the old emperor heard this, he glanced at Wu Jianhui.
He said calmly: "Since you feel that I have improperly employed people and that Di Ying is young and incompetent, then let Di Ying investigate the cases in your other hospital. You, and all your people, just need to Cooperate without any obstruction, do you understand?"
Wu Jianhui: "..."
He could hear the displeasure and warning in His Majesty's voice, and knew what would happen to him if he continued to disobey. He quickly bowed his head in agreement, stood up and stood aside.
After standing for a while, until His Majesty announced his resignation, Wu Jianhui did not react: How did things go astray?
I can only secretly be annoyed that I am too eager to capture Huang Siyuan.
That Huang Siyuan was too annoying, always causing trouble for everyone in his house. Wasn't it just the shop boy who beat up a few people? Isn't it just that little thing? You have to hold on to it to the death.
The Jingzhao government office doesn't care about it, but Huang Siyuan has a lot to do.
"Hey! Mr. Zuo Shilang, you haven't left yet? Are you still waiting for your resignation? Let's leave now? Let's go to your villa to have a look. By the way, Mr. Zuo Shilang, you haven't told me yet Sir, what items were robbed from your courtyard? How many items were there? How much are they worth?"
Before Wu Jianhui could figure it out, he heard these strange words coming from behind, said by Di Ying.
Wu Jianhui immediately became angry and wanted to throw down his sleeves and leave.
Then I heard Di Ying say in an authentic official voice: "Master Zuo Shilang, don't blame me for not reminding you~~Your Majesty personally handed over the case of your other hospital to me~~~"
As Di Ying spoke, her tone became higher and higher.
This made Wu Jianhui, who had failed to file a complaint and might be discovered to have filed a false report, even more furious after hearing the words Zuo Shilang said.
In fact, because there were too many Wu adults in the court, the titles were naturally commensurate with official positions, and Wu Jianhui was used to hearing them.
I usually sound quite proud and even more complacent.
Think about it, from the sixth rank, the fifth rank... to the current fourth rank, this Zuo Shilang is proof of his hard work, and he is proud of himself.
However, I don't know what happened now. When these three words came out of Di Ying's mouth, Wu Jianhui just felt a shame, an inexplicable and huge sense of shame.
He turned around on the spot, glared at Di Ying, and was about to curse.
But all he saw was Di Ying raising her eyebrows at him.
Wu Jianhui: "..."
It took a lot of effort for him to swallow back the curse words that were about to burst out of his mouth.
He grinded his back molars and warned: "Di Ying, don't use chicken feathers as arrows. You can investigate this case, but it must depend on my mood. You must understand that you should say what you should say, and what should not be said. Don’t say anything, do you understand?”
