Fu Song

Chapter 198 Who Did It?

Xiao Cheng felt like a monkey now.

Sitting in the courtyard at the back of Daxiangguo Temple, he played Go pretendingly with Luo Gang on the opposite side.

Just look at the way Luo Gang is biting his lip hard, you can know that he is trying hard not to let himself laugh out loud.

"Laugh if you want to, why are you working so hard?" Xiao Cheng said angrily.

Luo Gang picked up a chess piece between his two fingers, hit it on the board with a snap, and said: "No, I want to maintain my demeanor, and I can't let people see the joke. The third sister is also in it!"

Xiao Cheng sighed.

In the meditation room not far from here, there are now several families of female relatives gathered, and the target of their observation is naturally Xiao Cheng, a freshly released Juren.

Xiao Cheng was already well-known in Bianliang, and his knowledge has also been praised by many great scholars. In addition, he has made great achievements in going to the Northwest this time. Seeing that the Jinshi examination in September is coming, A Jinshi is in his hands.

Plus his surname is Xiao.

Right now, Xiao Yu is the Minister of Finance of the country, and it can be said that he is very powerful.

Although Xiao Cheng is not the biological son of Mrs. Han, she was brought up by Mrs. Han herself, so it is no different from her own.More importantly, after Xiao Cheng became a Jinshi, most of the lintels of the Xiao family will be in charge of Xiao Cheng in the future.

What a handsome son-in-law!

Those in Bianliang who feel qualified to marry the Xiao family, of course, cannot let go of such a good opportunity.Even those with a higher lintel than the Xiao family, or some extremely noble families, are quite optimistic about Xiao Cheng.

So Xiao Cheng became distressed.

Under Mrs. Han's persecution, he had to attend various gatherings with different names.

The protagonist of the party, of course, is Mrs. Han and the eldest ladies and female relatives of each family. He is just a supporting role to protect his mother and sister to attend the party, but in fact, it is he who everyone wants to see.

If Xiao Cheng was a little bored and didn't want to go, Mrs. Han's eyes would turn red, she would burst into tears, and she would say what if your mother was here, even though she wasn't his mother, so what.
As a result, Xiao Cheng naturally couldn't bear it anymore, so he could only coax Mrs. Han with a smile, and then readily agreed to arrange with Mrs. Han.

Xiao Cheng never expected to be in charge of his own marriage, this is totally impossible.

And this point, Jiang Yingxue is also very clear.

Xiao Cheng only hopes that the wives who will come in in the future will firstly be virtuous enough, and secondly smart enough.

Otherwise, with Jiang Yingxue's intelligence and ability, I'm afraid she can play the opponent above the applause.

"The girl from the Hu family is the most beautiful among the girls today!" Luo Gang dropped another sunspot with a bang, and Luo Gang said in a low voice: "I've already asked for you, the little girl from the Hu family, Qin Chess, calligraphy and painting, know everything, especially good at flute, poetry and prose is also quite good. One year younger than you, temper is also very gentle. Just one point, not born of a big lady."

Xiao Cheng responded with a snort, and said coldly, "I wasn't born by an aunt either."

"That's not what I meant!" Luo Gang said sarcastically, "Actually, you are no different from the eldest lady, right? Leaving aside this point, I think Miss Hu is pretty good."

Xiao Cheng sighed, the feeling of being picked and picked by others is really bad.

Luo Gang misunderstood his meaning, and said in a low voice: "You don't want to make Jiang Yingxue the main wife, do you? I advise you to stop thinking about it. If you really dare to do this, your father will turn against you, Da Han The lady will not answer, she is from the Han family in Xinyang, and she attaches great importance to this aspect. Although Jiang Yingxue has a county head, how much is the title of a county head worth in your family? Let me tell you , you might as well agree to this little lady Hu, she has a good temper and is easy to manage, marry into the family, and then take Jiang Yingxue as a concubine, with Jiang Yingxue's wrist, she will surely make Miss Hu happy."

Xiao Cheng stared at him for a long while, then suddenly said: "Yuting, are you already thinking about how to deal with my little sister? Otherwise, why are you saying the same thing!"

Luo Gang smiled: "Don't blame me, since I got engaged to my little sister, I have never been to this brothel and tile house again. And with my little sister's ability, you think I can find her palm ?”

Xiao Cheng said: "You can regret the marriage!"

"How is it possible?" Luo Gang said angrily, "You still look down on me, don't you? I have worked very hard. I will definitely marry my younger sister and go home."

Xiao Cheng spread his hands: "Yes, since you have a tendency to be abused, then it's up to you."

"Zifeiyu, how do you know the joy of fish?" Luo Gang shook his head and said.

Or maybe their Luo family has this tradition. Anyway, why doesn't Luo Gang's father, Luo Song, even have a concubine?The three sons in the family were all born by Mrs. Luo alone.

But this is also very good, for the little girl, Luo Gang is indeed a good choice.

Know the roots.

Of course, more importantly, this guy is easy to handle!

"You're finished!" Putting down a white piece in his hand, Xiao Cheng looked at Luo Gang with a smile. "Your dragon was slaughtered by me, ah, it's a vast expanse of whiteness, but it's really clean."

Luo Gang looked down at the chessboard in front of him, wasn't it a vast expanse of whiteness?He was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Well, it's fine if it's over, I'm going to talk to the third sister, but you are here singing the wind and playing the moon, waiting for the identification of those three aunts and six wives! Stay away!"

Xiao Cheng was furious: "You dare to leave?"

"Why not?" Luo Gang crossed his waist and said, "Third Sister agreed with me. Don't follow, or Mrs. Han will definitely not look good on you."

Xiao Cheng was immediately discouraged.

There are two tigresses in the family, one big and one small, he can't afford to mess with them.

Luo Gang looked at Xiao Cheng, who had always been arrogant, now looking like a woman who failed in the exam, and immediately gloated, flicked his sleeves, and walked out with his hands behind his back.

At this time, Wei Wu ran in from the outside in a flash.

Seeing Wei Wu, Xiao Cheng's heart couldn't help sinking. Because of his pair of iron feet, Wei Wu rarely appeared in front of outsiders. Even if he did, he would cover it up, but now he has no scruples , Just like this, he walked a few steps away in front of himself, and sure enough, there were bursts of exclamations from the meditation room behind.

Those women, have they ever seen a person with a pair of iron feet?

"What's the matter?" Xiao Cheng hurried up to meet him, and when he walked behind a flower tree, he just used the tree to block the sight from behind.

"My lord, I just received the news." Wei Wu's voice trembled a little: "The frontier officers escorted by Cui Jin were attacked in Shanyang County. Those files and evidence were all destroyed."

Xiao Cheng's face suddenly turned pale, "The news is reliable?"

But immediately he knew that he asked a nonsense question: "When will the news from the government come back?"

"The news is that the caravan sent people to rush back all the way without sleep. It should be much faster than the speed of the government's courier or the spies of the Imperial City Department. But at most it will take half a day!" Wei Wudao .

"Did father know?" Xiao Cheng asked.

"The bachelor has been informed, butler Xu, please go back immediately!" Wei Wu said.

Xiao Cheng nodded, turned around and called Li Xin who was in the corner of the yard: "Go and tell the big lady that there is something urgent to deal with at home, I'll go back first, and let the big lady and the third sister go home quickly, don't Zhang Yang, let’s talk when we find a chance, understand?”

"Yes, Erlang." Li Xin nodded repeatedly.

"Let's go!" Xiao Cheng raised his chin and strode out with Wei Wu.

Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Cheng with cold eyes, as if he wanted to swallow Xiao Cheng in one gulp, and Xiao Cheng looked at his father without showing any weakness.

"My lord, there can be no more hesitation now." Xiao Cheng said loudly: "Earlier, King Jing's allies were widely reprimanded, which is already a signal. The reason why you escaped this catastrophe is because Now it's the time of war on Hebei Road, and the government cannot do without you as the treasurer. In addition, the elder brother has made great achievements in the northwest. This time, the matter is even bigger. If you don't take the initiative to cut it, then you will definitely not be able to keep your position as the third envoy. "

"Do you believe that King Jing did such a thing?" Xiao Yu said angrily.

"It doesn't matter who did it." Xiao Cheng sighed: "The problem is, the officials will think who did it."

"I'm going to make a deal, but it's not about cutting off with King Jing, but calling for grievances for King Jing. Would the officials not be able to see such an obvious plan of framing?" Xiao Yu snorted coldly.

"My lord!" Xiao Cheng shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that the officials have long been preconceived. If you go to Zhezi to defend the king of Jing, you will only catch up with yourself, so that the green hills will remain, and you will not be afraid of no firewood! The old rules and they have done it the last time. I have cut off with King Jing, and among the important officials of the court, you are the only one who is still standing up. My lord, the chance is running out."

"Even if I cut it, no one will believe it." Xiao Yu looked at his son: "For decades, your father's character has long been known to people. To advance."

"So what? You can't let someone catch you with such a long tail, can you? You can't let the officials lose face at all, can you? My lord, you can cut it up, and I will share it with His Royal Highness King Jing." Powerful. Let him know your last resort, and at the same time let him understand that right now, there is no other way to go except to give in." Xiao Cheng said. "Father, you only have half a day. Tonight at the latest, the people from the Imperial City Division will bring the news back to Bianliang."

Reluctantly persuading his father, Xiao Cheng rushed to King Jing's Mansion without stopping. When he was walking to the magnificent palace of King Jing's Mansion, Xiao Cheng couldn't help but sigh.

If this matter was really done by King Jing's subordinates, then there is only one word to describe it: stupid.

If this thing was done by King Jing's opponent, then Xiao Cheng can only describe the opponent's trick with extreme admiration.

It can be said that this strategy immediately took King Jing into the abyss.

Is it the counselor named Zhao Yuan next to King Chu?
Xiao Cheng has been paying attention to this person for a while, the king of Chu broke free from the most unfavorable predicament, and all the effective strategies came from this person.

The end is a powerful character.

In the future, I must pay attention to this person with [-] points of energy.

In this world, there are really too many people who are hiding dragons and crouching tigers.

Having a Zhang Yuan by the elder brother's side made Xiao Cheng very amazed. No matter what his intentions were hiding by his side, as long as he could be used by the elder brother, that would be a good thing.

And this Zhao Yuan cannot be underestimated at all!

I'm afraid that all of these people have learned the dragon slaying technique.They don't necessarily have the ability to govern the world, but they are comparable to each other in the ability to govern the world.

The officialdom in Bianliang was shaken again.

Xiao Yu, the third division envoy, impeached Jing Wang Zhao Zhe secretly.

In everyone's eyes, this was a sign that Zhao Zhe had completely lost hope.Because Xiao Yu, envoy of the Third Division, was Zhao Zhe's most staunch supporter, but this time, even Xiao Yu also abandoned King Jing Zhao Zhe.

No one laughed at Xiao Yu, because those who refused to abandon Zhao Zhe now either went to the northwest to eat sand, or went to the south to smell miasma.Xiao Yu's ability to persevere until now is already commendable.

That night, several fast horses drove into Bianliang.

The next day, even more sensational news spread in Bianliang.

Zhao Zhe, the King of Jing, actually sent people in Shanyang County to intercept and kill the criminals who were sent to Beijing, and these criminals were originally the witnesses to testify against his conspiracy.

Now that a person is completely dead, naturally he cannot speak.

"I definitely didn't do it! I'm not so stupid!" This was the reply Xiao Cheng got in Jingwang Mansion.King Jing had become thinner for a while, and now his face was even paler.

You can only enter the palace to explain to the officials, but whether the officials believe it or not is another matter.

Chu Wangfu, Chu Wang Zhao Jing also looked at his number one counselor Zhao Yuan with a blank face. Zhao Yuan was stroking his beard vigorously, and he also looked distressed.

"Didn't Mr. do this?" Zhao Jing asked.

"Without the permission of the prince, how dare I do such a thing? Besides, only the prince can mobilize the dead soldiers kept in the mansion. Without your order, they will not go out." Zhao Yuan said.

"You said, did the second brother do it?" Zhao Jing thought for a while, and then said: "Improbable, even I know it can't be done, what a shrewd person the second child is, how can he do such a stupid thing?" Things?"

Zhao Yuan couldn't help but looked at Zhao Jing with a bit of a smile, is this a self-admission that he is not as good as King Jing Zhao Zhe?

"My lord, no matter who did it, for you, there are only advantages and no disadvantages."

"I don't know who did it, I'm always a little uneasy!" Zhao Jing shook his head.

At this time, Zhao Yuan realized his thoughts clearly, and said after pondering for a while: "My lord, there are actually only a handful of people who have the motivation and ability to do this. Trion did it."

Zhao Jing was stunned for a while, his mouth was wide open enough to fit a fist into: "How is this possible? Cui Jin is seriously injured, and if she doesn't lie on the bed for a year or so, she will definitely not be able to get up."
