After Ciyun Temple was burned down by a fire, Li Bin really panicked.
Zhang Xiu didn't accept this official policy at all, so he asked the monk to kill him with magic, but he burned the temple to the ground, and to this day no one is alive and no corpses are seen.
Encountering this kind of greaseless meat, Li Bin felt that his hope of rescuing his son became increasingly slim.
The butler saw that his master was not thinking about food and tea, and was frowning for most of the day. He came up with an idea and said: "Sir, what do you think we can ask Prime Minister Pang to write a letter in front of the emperor to remove Zhang Xiu, a scourge, from Jinhua Mansion?"
"As soon as Zhang Xiu leaves, the young master's matter can be settled in a vague manner."
Li Bin sighed slightly and said: "When I was in the capital, I had dealings with King Liang, the current Holy Emperor. This man is headstrong and self-willed, but also very arrogant. He wishes that the whole world would be in his hands."
"He likes to see infighting among the courtiers. Only when the courtiers are at odds will it be easier for him to control the court. If my cousin writes a letter, he will not only ignore it, but will definitely reward Zhang Xiu lavishly."
As he spoke, he sighed again and comforted himself: "Fortunately, Jie'er and Zhang Mi are very strict with their mouths and have not let up until now. We still have a chance to rescue them."
While the two were talking, a servant suddenly came in and reported: "Sir, the government office has posted a notice that Zhang Xiu wants to interrogate the young master at night! He also said that he will bring in two innocent souls who died tragically to confront the young master in court!"
Li Bin was stunned when he heard this, and then he slapped the table and said angrily: "It's ridiculous, I have never heard of such a sensational thing in the 300 years since the founding of the Xia Dynasty! Quick, send someone to ask the censor, the two governors of Jiangnan, no matter what No matter what, we can’t let Zhang Xiuye interrogate Jie’er!”
While Li Bin felt guilty, Zhang Xiu's plan to interrogate ghosts at night quickly spread throughout the city.
The people of Jinhua were already accustomed to the behavior of Master Qingtian, but they still found it very strange to interrogate ghosts.
They all gathered together and agreed to go to the Yamen together in the evening to watch Zhang Xiu's trial.
In the blink of an eye, it was evening, and before it was time to go to court for questioning, Li Bin hurried to Houya with two officials.
Seeing Zhang Xiu who was eating, one of the officials with a mustache came forward with anger, pointed at Zhang Xiu and said: "Prefect Zhang, how could you do such a ridiculous thing! The government office represents the majesty of the imperial court. , how could you do such a ridiculous thing as interrogating ghosts at night!"
"If you don't take down that notice, I will have to inform you, Your Majesty!"
Zhang Xiu glanced at the master beside him and asked, "Who is this person? What rank is he?"
The master forced a smile and said: "Back to the master, this is Mr. Ma, the censor of Jiangnan Road. He is an official of the sixth rank."
Zhang Xiu curled his lips disdainfully: "How dare you, a mere sixth-grade official, be so rude to me? Come on, get out of here!"
"you you……"
Ma Yushi was so angry that his hands were shaking. Although he had a low official position, his duty was to supervise officials. Which official in Jiangnan Province dared not to smile at him.
It was the first time that Zhang Xiu had met an official who wanted to throw him out without even saying a word.
Another official coughed slightly and said, "I am Li Qing, the governor of Jiangnan. I am a second-rank official. I wonder if you can let me say a few words."
Zhang Xiu showed a kind smile: "Please tell me, everyone in the imperial court is talented and speaks well. I like to listen to you speak the most!"
Governor Li's eyes twitched slightly as he said, "Before I speak, can you put away the stick in your hand..."
Zhang Xiu swung the golden cudgel in his hand twice and said, "Oh, this cudgel was given to me by the Queen Mother. It is used to knock out the emperor and slander the ministers."
Governor Li took a deep breath, feeling that the hero would not suffer the immediate consequences, and chose to shut his mouth honestly.
Zhang Xiu glanced at the three people who were looking for trouble. He leaned forward slightly and put his hands on the table: "I want to interrogate ghosts at night. Who is in favor and who is against it?"
"I……"
Li Bin opened his mouth to speak, but when he saw Zhang Xiu's eyes aimed at his forehead, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat and looked at his cousin Governor Li angrily.
Governor Li sighed helplessly, raised his hands to Zhang Xiu and said, "Prefect Zhang, the trial of ghosts at night is unprecedented. Yushi Ma and I must serve as jury members. I hope you will forgive me."
Zhang Xiu smiled and said: "It's just a small matter. Anyway, you are not the only one on the jury."
Governor Li was stunned when he saw Master Xuantian walking out of the room with the eldest princess. He glanced coldly at the people in the room and said to Zhang Xiu: "The magic weapon for summoning souls has been prepared, and the trial can begin. "
"National Preceptor...eldest princess..."
Li Bin's face suddenly became even more ugly.
It's okay to say that the eldest princess is just a girl who doesn't understand anything, but if the master of the imperial family summons the ghost himself, if the ghost of Eunuch Qiurong is really brought to the court for confrontation, even though her cousin, the governor, has also learned magic, You may not be able to stop her...
Looking at Li Bin, whose hands were trembling slightly in his sleeves, Zhang Xiu reached out and put his hands on his shoulders, with a smile on his face: "Brother Li, please be patient. Zijie and I are Jinshi in the same field, and we were even closer when we were hunting in Xishan." He has formed a life-and-death friendship! As long as Zijie doesn't kill anyone, the Imperial Master and I will definitely clear his name!"
Li Bin was so angry that his face turned blue: "..."
A life-and-death friendship, does it mean the kind of friendship where you almost shot my son to death with an arrow?
This should be called a life-and-death feud!
And whether Zijie is innocent or not, don’t I, the father, know?
At this time, Governor Li saluted Xuantian and shouted respectfully: "Sister."
Xuantian's face changed slightly, nodded slightly, followed Zhang Xiu, and several people came to the lobby and took their seats.
Three squads of government officials lined up, and the mighty sound followed.
The gate of the Yamen was opened, and people poured in to watch. In the solemn atmosphere, the people saw the plaque hanging in the lobby at a glance, and saw four bright characters written on the plaque -
Make money!
Zhang Xiu was stunned and shouted: "Come here, bring the criminals Li Zijie and Zhang Mi to the court!"
Soon, the official led the two disheveled people to the lobby.
At this time, the two of them had long lost their previous radiant appearance, and looked haggard, with two big dark circles on their faces. They looked as if they had not slept well for a long time.
When Li Bin saw his son's miserable condition, he couldn't help but feel distressed, and said in a low voice: "Jie'er, don't be afraid. Later you will insist that you did not kill anyone. As long as your uncle is here, these lonely ghosts will not be able to enter this lobby." !”
Li Zijie nodded in agreement, then raised his face and met Zhang Xiu's smiling face. He suddenly shivered and said with tears in his eyes: "Dad, do you know how I have been spending these days..."
Li Bin said distressedly: "Did he torture you again?"
As Li Zijie spoke, two lines of hot tears could not help but flow out: "That's not true. Zhang Xiu, a bastard, actually gave me a half-foot-thick book of arithmetic problems. He wouldn't let me sleep until I could finish them. I couldn't answer those questions. I can’t do any of them, I can’t do any of them!!”
Li Bin was stunned. Looking at his son who was about to have a mental breakdown in front of him, he doubted life for a while: "@#￥%￥#@..."
My son... why don't I have another son while I'm still young?
