There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 175 Su Xian: Please call me "Su Wenxue"!
In the big tent, after a burst of uproar, everyone basically accepted the fact that "Su Xian pried open the secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom".

These words came from the mouth of Princess Lanling.

Very high reliability.

There is no need for the princess to joke about this!

So, Su Xian really made another great contribution? !
Suddenly, everyone present looked sideways at Su Xian with different expressions.

But most of them are surprised, envious and appreciative.

Of course there are also looks of jealousy, annoyance, etc.

Wang Sima smiled and twirled his gray beard, thinking: "This boy is indeed extraordinary, I really have a good eye!"

Wang You, the chief secretary and other subordinate officials nodded repeatedly and said to themselves:
"Su Jijiu made two great achievements a few days ago, and today he made another great contribution. I don't know how the princess will reward him... Hey, I'm really envious!"

Zhou Ji's eyes widened, his expression dull and unbelievable.

Originally, he had warned Su Xian that it was best to keep a low profile when he first arrived to avoid causing trouble.

But Su Xian didn't hear it. He was extremely high-profile and came up with some kind of "confinement method" a few days ago...

Just now, when the literary officer launched an attack, he felt angry and regretful.

What makes Su Xian angry is that he doesn't listen to the old man's words.

What I regret is that I didn’t hold him back and let him go to the sea...

However, the reversal came too quickly.

Her Royal Highness the Princess actually announced in person that the secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom had confessed!
And it’s all thanks to Su Xian’s “method of confinement”…

So I messed around, but I was wrong?Am I underestimating Su Jijiu?I was too cautious...Zhou Ji's office was in a mess, and his entire outlook on life and values ​​were being reconstructed.

In the middle of the big tent.

The protagonist, Su Xian, who was attracting attention from everyone, finally let out a long sigh of relief.

After holding back for many days, I finally made a splash today.

Thinking that in the past few days, everyone from the princess to the subordinate officials had never mentioned his "confinement method", as if everyone had collectively forgotten about it, Su Xian kept holding a breath in his heart. .

But he knew that before the result came out, it would only be disgusting to mention this matter, so he forcibly resisted not mentioning it.

Little did he know that today, his "method of confinement" was not only successful, but also came out of the mouth of Princess Lanling...

call!
Su Xian seemed to be able to hear his own breathing.

He wanted to smile, but he felt that it was too proud in front of everyone, so he held it back.

"impossible!"

"impossible!"

"This is impossible!"

"It's impossible!"

"It's all fake and an illusion..."

"..."

At this time, the literary officer's crazy words sounded in the big tent, which seemed very abrupt.

Everyone followed the reputation.

Behind the big tent, the literary officer's face was distorted and terrified, and he backed away while shouting loudly, as if he was facing a prehistoric beast that only wanted to eat people.

What is he doing?
A question arose in everyone's mind.

Is the literary officer's reaction too extreme?

"You must have remembered that he made a bet with Su Jijiu a few days ago." Zhou Ji's office suddenly remembered this incident.

"Oh I got it……"

"..."

But Wang Sima immediately said suspiciously:
"Even if he loses the bet, he will only be demoted from a literary official to a sacrificial wine official. Ups and downs in officialdom are common, and he shouldn't react like this."

"Wang Sima's words make sense."

"..."

The crowd agrees.

Then she stared at him strangely.

At this time, Princess Lanling, who was sitting high on the handsome chair, spoke loudly:
"Do you think that the secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom is dead?"

When everyone heard this, their expressions were stunned.

This was nonsense and they didn't understand it.

But the literary officer's complexion suddenly changed, his rounded eyes were full of disbelief and horror, he stepped back three steps, and finally sat down on the ground.

When everyone saw this, the suspicion on their faces became even stronger.

Why do literary officials do this?
What does the princess mean by that sentence?
What kind of riddle are they playing between them?
"Humph!"

Princess Lanling's cold snort came from above. Everyone immediately stood up straight and their whispers stopped abruptly.

The princess's red lips parted slightly, and she was about to expose the ugly face of the literary officer herself, but at this moment, a personal guard outside the tent reported: "The third arresting head of the prison department, Nangong Kui, has arrived."

"come in."

Princess Lanling immediately gave up the idea of ​​speaking in person.

After a while, Nangong Kui entered the tent. After receiving the courtesy, he turned his head and glanced at the literary officer who was lying on the ground, with cold eyes.

The literary officer was startled and did not dare to look at him.

"You're here just in time for the third arrest. Whatever you found out, you can tell it in public now." The princess ordered, with a smile on her lips, ready to watch the show.

"Impressive order!"

Nangong Kui turned around, he was tall, with a handsome but feminine face, sharp eyes, like the king of hell living in the world!

The direction he was facing was the literary official lying on the ground.

Only then did everyone, including Su Xian, finally realize that this literary official had committed something serious and had alerted the three arrests of the Prison Department...

"Are you willing to confess? You colluded with the subordinates of the Prison Department to plot to poison the secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom, and then planned to use Her Highness the Princess to frame Su Jijiu?"

Nangong Kui's majestic and cold voice echoed in the big tent.

After hearing this, all the officials and generals were in an uproar... This man was so vicious that he not only murdered the secret envoy of Liao Kingdom, but also wanted to use the princess to eradicate Su Jijiu?
No matter from which aspect, he committed the crime of decapitation...

Everyone was in an uproar for a while, and then stopped suddenly at the same time, waiting for the development of the situation.

The same goes for Su Xian.

He now hates the literary official and hopes that he will die immediately.

But it's better to keep your mouth shut at times like this.

"No! No! This is a false accusation... I didn't, I didn't..." The literary officer made a desperate struggle.

Nangong Kui's face didn't change, she looked outside the tent and shouted loudly: "Bring someone to witness the evidence!"

Everyone looked outside the tent together.

The literary officer who was slumped on the ground turned his head away in horror.

The Consultative Military Officer always hid behind the subordinate officials, minimizing his own presence.

At this time, the situation is already very clear, and he will not lend a helping hand, otherwise it will only drag him down...

Soon, a subordinate official with his head lowered and staggering was trapped in a chain as thick as his thumb and escorted into the big tent by two soldiers.

There was a neatly dressed servant behind him, holding a tray with a small porcelain vase in his hand, and he also came to enter the account.

"Do you recognize him?"

Nangong Kui pointed at the chained subordinate.

The literary officer was immediately speechless, with a look of horror on his face.

Nangong Kui pointed to the small porcelain bottle on the tray and said, "This is the poison that you and he conspired to poison the Liao envoy. You gave it to him with your own hands."

"Injustice! No..."

Nangong Kui's expression changed and he said coldly: "You had two secret meetings with him, both of which were under my supervision. I know every move, word and deed you make!"

"..."

The literary officer opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say a word, his face was ashen.

Nangong Kui said solemnly: "Do you want to recruit me or not? Do you want to try all kinds of torture from me, or do you want to be imprisoned? You can choose one!"

"..."

The literary officer finally confessed on the spot.

He confessed to his criminal behavior and confessed his crime on the spot.

Princess Lanling looked livid and said slowly: "The evidence in this case is conclusive and there is no need to discuss it further. Three arrests. According to our Daliang law, how should we convict this case?"

"Report to Her Royal Highness, behead according to the law!"

"Then push it out and chop it!"

"Yes!"

"..."

Two personal guards carried the gray-faced literary officer out of the tent.

Soon, the soldiers came back and reported:
"The criminal has been beheaded!"

"..."

The soldiers had already exited the big tent, but there was silence in the tent.

Everyone is digesting this matter.

Wang Sima and other subordinate officials were filled with emotion. After all, they had assisted Her Royal Highness the Princess for so many years together with the Literary Officer, but they did not expect that he would end up like this...

Of course, it was all his own fault and no one else was to blame.

The counselor's heart was beating fast. Just now, he thought he was going to die this time... But fortunately, he did not participate in the plot to poison the Liao envoy, so he saved a small life.

Su Xian was filled with emotion in his heart. This time he made another great contribution and eliminated the literary official. It was a great victory!

Zhou Ji's mood was mixed and happy at the same time. He smiled bitterly for a while. Seeing that no one in the big tent made a sound, he suddenly had a thought in his mind and went out to bow to the princess:

"I wonder if Her Royal Highness the Princess and all of you still remember the bet between Su Jijiu and Literature? Now, Su Jijiu has won. Logically, their official positions should be reversed."

"..."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Princess Lanling who was sitting on the handsome chair.

Princess Lanling smiled and said:

"Of course I still remember it. It seems that I am the guarantor of this bet!"

She looked at Su Xian with approval and said with a smile:
"Starting from today, Su Xian is promoted to the position of Literature! The original Literature Officer should have been demoted to the position of Jijiu, but... so the position of Jijiu will be vacant for the time being!"

"..."

As soon as the princess finished speaking, everyone immediately bowed and said: "Your Highness the Princess is wise!"

Su Xian worshiped alone: ​​"Thank you, Your Highness, Princess!"

"Literary officer, from the sixth level, compared to the sacrifice wine, you are equivalent to two levels in a row! But compared to your merits, it is still a little weak."

As soon as Princess Lanling finished speaking, she waved to Dong Xue, who was standing by her side.

Dongxue immediately stepped forward, took out a scroll, unfolded it and read aloud...

She was thinking of other rewards for Su Xian.

There are 300 taels of gold, 1 taels of silver, hundreds of pieces of silk and satin, and thousands of acres of fertile land!
After a while, Dongxue finished reading.

Everyone nodded slowly. These rewards plus two ranks of promotion can be worth Su Xian's credit.

Su Xian himself fell into ecstasy.

Only a few days ago, he received a huge reward. Although the item has not yet arrived from God's Capital, it will be sooner or later.

Including today's rewards, Su Xian would have 800 taels of gold, 7000 taels of silver, more than a thousand bolts of silk and satin, and a thousand acres of fertile land...

What a huge fortune this is!

Sure enough, it was right to hug Princess Lanling's thigh instead. He got so many rewards for a little contribution... Su Xian silently praised his decision.

If you had followed Tang Ju, you would still be worried about money!

"Thank you, Your Highness Princess, for the reward!"

Thank you Su Xian.

Princess Lanling nodded with a smile.

……

"Su Wenxue!"

"Congratulations to Su Wenxue for being promoted to two levels in a row, congratulations!"

"..."

Wang Sima, Wang You, the chief secretary, Zhou Ji's office, and even the generals who consulted on the military affairs, and of course the generals in the big tent, all came forward to congratulate Su Xian and congratulate him again and again.

Su Xian grinned back, busy but also happy.

Su literature?Hey, I haven't heard enough about the name Su Jijiu, now it's Su Wenxue... Su Xian secretly complained, but he was very happy in his heart.

After a while, the congratulations ended, and everyone returned to their respective positions to stand still.

Princess Lanling sat high on the handsome chair and glanced around at the people below. Her charming face burst into a charming smile and said slowly:
"The mouth of the secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom has been opened. I am happy today and have decided to have a banquet for all the ministers. It is also a tail-burning banquet for Su Wenxu!"

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness!" Everyone was happy.

"But before that, there is one more thing that needs to be dealt with." Princess Lanling added.

"..."

At this moment, a guard outside the tent reported:
"Your Highness, Princess Qi, the scouts sent to Youzhou last night have returned to camp!"

Princess Lanling smiled and said: "It's just in time, please come in quickly."

After a while, a dusty man dressed as a commoner entered the tent. When he saw Princess Lanling, he bowed his head and said:
"Your Highness Princess, we have indeed found traces of Liao people in the mountains bordering Fanyang County and Yizhou in Youzhou!"

"My subordinates have made careful inquiries and have determined that it is indeed the hiding place of [-] Liao troops!"

"My subordinates were extremely careful and never alerted anyone!"

"..."

When everyone including Su Xian heard this, they suddenly understood.

It turns out that the princess sent a scout last night to explore the location told by the Liao envoy.

And then there's that location.

Among the mountains bordering Fanyang County and Yizhou in Youzhou... People who are familiar with the surrounding terrain can't help but be surprised, because it is indeed an excellent hiding place. If the exact location is not known in advance, it may take a long time. It will take time to discover the clues.

"You have done a good job, and I will reward you greatly. You have worked hard all night, so go down and rest first." The princess smiled.

"Yes, thank you, Your Royal Highness."

"..."

After the dusty scouts exited the tent, Princess Lanling scanned the crowd and asked:

"The [-] Liao troops who sneaked into our Daliang territory have been found. Do you have a good plan for what to do next?"

As soon as the princess finished speaking, the military consultant immediately came out to pay homage:

"Your Highness Princess Qi, I believe that the army should be dispatched immediately to Fanyang County in Youzhou to defeat the [-] Liao army with lightning speed and avoid future troubles forever!"

Wang Sima then came out to pay homage:

"The official believes that the urgent task now is not to send troops to defeat the [-] Liao army, but to secretly find out how they sneaked into our country in Daliang!"

"I think there must be a big problem here! We must find out the 'chain' hidden in it!"

"If this matter can be dealt with properly, the princess's party in Youzhou has achieved its goal and can return to Shendu as soon as possible."

"..."

Ps. There are a lot of things going on recently, including demolition and nucleic acid testing. Demolition means moving... When I think of so many things to clean up and some of them have to be thrown away, I get a headache... It’s hard to calm down. Over time, it may become [-] updates per day.
