"Meet Mr. Zeng!!"
Liu Ju greeted him seriously, but Zeng Shutang didn't smile at all.
Even if he hadn't entered the mansion, he could still guess what the scene was like in the mansion! !
Looking at Liu Ju whose expression remained unchanged, Zeng Shutang's old face was as gloomy as an iron pot, "I'm asking you a question!!!"
Liu Ju was silent for a moment and said in a faint tone: "I don't want to die~"
Hearing Liu Ju's words, Zeng Shutang was stunned. Then he remembered that the prefect of Shuntian Mansion in front of him almost died in the hands of that little beast.
"Master Liu is afraid of the Champion!! Do you think that I can't do anything to you???"
When Liu Ju heard Zeng Shutang's words, she raised her hand and said, "I don't dare! Your Excellency is the Prime Minister of the Cabinet. Naturally, there are many ways to deal with Your Excellency. But if you offend Master Zeng, your Excellency will at least have a life left. But if you fall to the champion In Hou's hands, I'm afraid that none of Xiaguan's family will be spared! Xiaguan doesn't dare to gamble!! "
Hearing this, Zeng Shutang felt the veins on his forehead throbbing.
"That little beast, how dare he!!!"
There was no fluctuation in Liu Ju's eyes. As for whether Jia Qi dared or not, he had already experienced it himself.
If he hadn't changed his story so quickly, he would probably be a corpse by now.
"If you don't believe it, you can go to the Champion House and try it~~"
Zeng Shutang narrowed his eyes, "Are you threatening me??"
Liu Ju shook her head slightly, "I don't dare!! I just told the truth!"
"Let me take that person inside with me~~"
Zeng Shutang clenched his fist and secretly resented that the little prefect of the fourth rank in front of him took advantage of that little beast and dared to pretend to be pretentious with him, and then he shouted coldly.
"Please forgive me, my lord, I don't dare to do this!!"
Hearing this, Zeng Shutang's expression became a little cold.
"Are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?? Magistrate Liu, the champion will not always be surrounded by the Holy Family. This world still doesn't believe in Jia!! You are trying to kill yourself!!"
Liu Ju didn't listen to Zeng Shutang's arrogant nonsense here. It was true that the surname in this world was not Jia, but that didn't mean that Jia Chu didn't dare to kill him. Even after killing Jiang Wenzheng, he didn't see what the emperor would do to him. He didn't want that. Use your own neck to test whether Jia Qi's knife is fast and whether it can cut off your own head with one blow.
"Zeng Zaifu, the lives of Xiaguan and his family are all in my hands. I don't dare to risk my family's life in a fight with you. Dare you, the champion? Your Excellency, it's better not to force Xianguan. Leave them here." , you can do whatever you want with it, even if it is thrown into a mass grave to be fed to dogs, your subordinates will never interfere!!"
Zeng Shutang waved his hand, and the servants of the Zeng Mansion rushed out from the nearby corridor with shadows behind the wall, surrounding Liu Ju.
"What if I let you take them away!!" Seeing these people, Liu Ju was not afraid to smile.
"Zeng Zaifu, don't scare me, they don't dare to lift a finger, not even you!! Not everyone is a champion. In Dakang, there is only one champion!!"
After saying this, Liu Ju straightened his official hat, stretched out his clothes, turned around and said to those around him: "I am Liu Ju, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture in the capital. I am a fourth-rank official. I am standing here today. Don’t dodge or dodge, all heroes and heroes, if there is something you can’t stand, feel free to do it!!”
"Let's see if my head is easy to get, see if the emperor will kill you nine tribes, and see if Mr. Zeng can protect you!" ! 「
After saying that, Liu Ju put her hands behind her back and stood motionless.
Look at the wealthy slaves around, look at me, I look at you, no one dares to step forward, Zeng Shutang is their master, but this matter is really as Liu Ju said, if something happens to him in Zeng Mansion Son, no one can protect them. Beating the fourth-rank officials of the imperial court is a slap in the face of the imperial court. If Zeng Shutang had done it himself, it might be justified, and the emperor would have turned a blind eye. But they, killing the nine tribes They are all light, and it is very likely that the ten tribes will be killed.
"hehe!!"
Liu Ju smiled, with a hint of self-deprecation in her smile. She didn't know whether she was laughing at these people who didn't dare to take action, or whether she didn't dare to do it before laughing. If the person in front of her was Jia Qi, she would have moved her head by now. ! !
Sighing, he cupped his hands towards Zeng Shutang, "Since you are kind to me, I will thank you in advance and take my leave!!"
"stop!!"
Although Zeng Shutang did not dare to take action, he would not put such a person in his house.
"Xu Er, Li San, you carry this person and take him to Shuntian Mansion for Magistrate Liu. Whoever this person loves will want it!!"
Hearing Zeng Shutang's words, Liu Jumin narrowed his eyes, but he didn't say much. He had already delivered the person, and the task was completed. As for what the other party wanted, let them do it. It was no longer his business.
"As you wish~~"
Zeng Shutang waved his hand and dispersed the crowd of servants who gathered around him. Looking at the impoverished prefect in front of him, he said coldly: "I have a message for Prefect Liu, sometimes death is not terrible!! I would like to advise the prefect. Sir, this is not how the officialdom goes~~"
...
In the Champion House, after Jia Chu sent Miaoyu back to Wutong Garden, he came to the main hall. At the moment, Cai Luan was alone, sitting quietly at the table, waiting for Jia Chu.
As soon as she saw Jia Qi, she stood up and greeted him.
It was already the zenith of the moon, and it was getting late. When he came back, he went to Xichun's yard and looked over at Daiyu, but the lights were out.
"Still not asleep yet??"
Cai Luan heard Jia Qi's words and shook her head with a smile.
"Those people don't know what's going on outside, but I know. If I didn't see you with my own eyes, I wouldn't be able to sleep anywhere. Hey, that girl didn't go to bed either!! She said she was waiting for you to come back! ! "
Saying that, Cai Luan pursed her lips and gestured towards the inner room.
Jia Qi looked inside and couldn't help but smile and shake his head, but there was a little girl with a rouge mark on her eyebrows, lying on the table and nodding!
"This silly girl!!"
Then Cai Luan picked up the pile of papers on the table and brought it to Jia Xi, "This is evidence of the things Zeng Shutang does on weekdays!!"
When Jia Qi heard Cai Luan's words, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. Cai Luan was really fast this time and didn't need to give orders himself and got the matter done in advance.
"Tell me!! What reward do you want??"
Cai Luan raised her eyebrows. Originally, this matter was just her responsibility, but she didn't expect that Jia Qi would reward her, which made her a little happy for a while.
After thinking about it, she lay down in Jia Qi's ear and whispered: "I want to be on top today!"
...
"Your Majesty, it's already the third watch. It's time to rest. You should pay more attention to the dragon body!!"
In the Daming Palace, Emperor Mingkang gently rubbed the center of his eyebrows, feeling tired. There were a lot of things going on today. Originally, there were a lot of secrets presented by the cabinet. Who would have thought that Jia Chu would do something like this again? thing.
"Liu Ju really sent people to Zeng Shutang??" Dai Quan nodded lightly.
"Hey~~ Sent it!!"
Thinking of what Jia Qi said, Dai Quan couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. He thought that only Jia Qi could do this to give a father to the current cabinet minister.
"Are you ready to pay tribute?"
After hearing this, Emperor Mingkang also became more energetic. Compared with those Zhu Pi, he also liked to hear such anecdotes.
Seeing that his master seemed to be interested, Dai Quan did not dare to hide anything, and said quickly: "Back to the emperor, no!! After Mr. Zeng Ge returned, he happened to meet the prefect Liu Ju, and he asked Master Liu to take him away. Yeah!! But Mr. Liu refused, and finally Mr. Zeng sent someone to send the Japanese man to Shuntian Mansion!! "
After hearing this, Emperor Mingkang picked up the ginseng tea at hand and took a sip.
After a long while, he couldn't help but said: "Dai Quan, do you think I'm too tolerant towards Jia Chu? Now he kills even the fourth- and fifth-grade officials of the imperial court at will! How can I do that?"
It feels like the surname in this world is not Chu, but Jia! ! "
When Dai Quan suddenly heard this, he was frightened. Even the sleepiness that had just arisen was frightened away.
He secretly raised his head and glanced at Emperor Mingkang, only to find that Emperor Mingkang didn't seem to be talking to him, but more like talking to himself.
He also murmured in his heart, is Emperor Mingkang planning to deal with Jia Qi? ?
Although everything seems to be fine in Dakang now, there are actually quite a lot of problems. Let’s not talk about distant problems. Just talk about the several foreign countries that have come to visit us recently. How many of them are sincere? Aren’t you planning to come to Dakang to find out whether Dakang’s army is that strong?
There is also the compatibility of the monarch and his subjects who are now forced to become a rope. This is not a compatibility between the monarch and his ministers, but due to helplessness. It is still based on the two princes and Jia Shuang. If there is a problem with these three people, it is estimated that this wonderful thing will happen. The balance will be broken instantly.
The same is true for the Supreme Emperor. His old man is in good health. If he really wants to go to court, the victory or defeat will depend on the strength of Emperor Mingkang alone and the things in his hands. Less than 20%.
So now is not a good time to deal with Jia Qi.
Once something happens to Jia Qi, the situation he managed with great difficulty will return to what it was before. The ministers are disobeying the government, the emperor interferes in the government affairs at will, and the mob outside, all of which are disturbing. An extremely troublesome problem.
Even if you want to be cooked by a running dog, the cunning rabbit must die! !
Just as numerous thoughts were flying in Dai Quan's mind, Emperor Mingkang sighed softly.
Dai Quan could think of that, but how could he not think that now is really not the time to kill the hero, or that it is not a good choice to kill the hero at any time.
"Dai Quan, tomorrow morning you go to Champion Hou's Mansion to deliver the edict and say it's my wish. Champion Hou is lawless and will be fined half a year's salary and face the wall for a month!!"
"Your Majesty, those Tibetan people will come to Beijing soon~~"
"Then let the people of Tubo come to the wall~~"
