A tragic death in his previous life! Reborn to marry a stupid king and seize your kingdom

She looked around and found that most of the students in the academy had left. It was quiet around them, and they were the only ones left.

Nangong Li quietly turned around, glanced at Jiang Fengqing, and then turned his head to the other side, insisting: "I won't get up if I can't speak up."

"Huh? You have quite a temper."

She took a deep breath, bent down again, and tightened her strength, trying to pull Nangong Li up from the ground, but he was like an iron bull, too heavy to pull her up at all.

Instead, Nangong Li fluttered her arms with a smile and played with Jiang Fengqing, thinking she was playing with him.

Jiang Fengqing suddenly let go of her hand, with a slight anger on her face, and warned: "If you don't get up again, I will leave."

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around neatly and walked towards the gate of the academy.

Nangong Li was startled. Now he was really anxious. He quickly got up from the ground and shouted: "Sister Fengqing?"

Jiang Fengqing didn't respond, but walked further and further away.

He shouted again: "Sister Fengqing!"

Looking at Jiang Fengqing's back, Nangong Li stood up straight with a smile on her lips, glanced at the fruit core she had eaten on the ground, and asked loudly: "Sister Fengqing, don't you want to give me a hairpin?" , will you reward me for identifying the imperial sister’s hairpin?”

Jiang Fengqing paused, looked back at him, and said with a half-smile, "This silver hairpin is a bit small. I will give you a more beautiful one another day."

After that, she left without looking back.

Nangong Li was left alone looking at her back in trance.

The remaining light of the evening sun spreads faintly between the red bricks and green tiles of the shop roofs on both sides of the road. The spring wind brings the dryness of summer and makes the leaves rustle.

In the busy city, both sides of the road are lined with various stalls, and the sounds of vendors selling, bargaining, singing, and hammering iron tools come and go.

The charcoal fire crackled in the stove and smoke rose in the tea shed.

The streets were bustling with people, including people carrying burdens on their way, officials' girls going out in carriages, and stalls offering fortune-telling and fortune-telling. People are coming and going, so lively.

The most prosperous section of the market is to the north, facing Ancheng's tallest restaurant, Moon Viewing Tower, and the largest gambling house, Dice House.

A man of extraordinary appearance led three guards and walked slowly over from the south side of the street.

This man is wearing a Tianshui blue robe with fine silver patterns and cloud brocade. The cuffs are embroidered with gold threads and auspicious clouds. He has a slender figure, a straight back, and a smooth walking posture.

Her black hair was tied up high by a long hollowed-out gilt crown, with two long white hair ribbons tied to the crown, floating in the wind, making her look even colder.

His skin was too pale as porcelain, a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows flew into a few strands of black hair under the temples, the ends of his eyes were raised, but his silver pupils were dull and silent, as if he was a sculpture and not like a real person.

The people on the street gradually closed their mouths, and the vendors who were shouting and hawking stopped shouting. Everyone stopped, their eyes followed the man, and they took the initiative to give way.

When the four people walked over, someone in the crowd on both sides of the market had a sharp gaze and knew who the man was at a glance. He introduced to the people around him: "That man is the legendary Gong Liangmin, the Minister of Personnel." The people next to him He was even more excited and breathed quickly, "I have long heard that Gong Liangmin is handsome, but I didn't expect that he is so otherworldly and graceful. After seeing him today, I really will die without regrets."

"What are you so excited about?"

The other person rolled his eyes at him and snorted coldly: "This Master Shangshu is not a good person. As long as he holds a black iron waist plate, if you fall into his eyes, I'm afraid your house will be confiscated and your clan will be exterminated!"

The person who spoke first in the crowd nodded in agreement, "The Gongliang family has been loyal to the Nangong family of the Northern Kingdom for generations. He is the Heavenly Official of the Northern Kingdom - Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and the national advisor of the Northern Kingdom, Gong Liangmin. Even the current emperor can Pulling down the horse truly explains what it means to have power over the ruling party."

Gong Liangmin walked unhurriedly towards the gambling house in front, not affected by the words of the people around him at all. The three guards behind him also had expressionless faces.

Wherever these three people went, people on both sides of the street didn't even dare to breathe a word, and they all just gasped and booed.

When he walked to the door of the gambling house, Gong Liangmin paused slightly. He looked up and saw that the entire gambling house was built at the end of the market. There was a huge dice as high as a person at the door, commonly known as the 'dice house'.

The door of the dice shop is very wide and grand, and also very special. The left and right doors are each made in the shape of half a copper coin. When closed tightly, it becomes a complete golden copper coin. Only the lower right side leaves a small opening for people to enter and exit. Door.

Before I even entered the door, I could already hear the shouts of people inside the gambling house; the cheers of the winner, and the sound of dice shaking and rolling in the dice cup.

Gong Liangmin glanced sideways, and one of the guards behind him walked up the steps very naturally, lifted the door curtain and stood waiting respectfully.

He walked up the steps with a frown, lowered his head slightly, and walked into the gambling house. The guard waited for the two guards who were accompanying him to walk in before lowering the door curtain.

The entire gambling house was extremely dark, filled with a layer of smoke, and the noises of excitement or disappointment from people could be heard endlessly.

Each gambling table was surrounded by people, and everyone was blushing. Even men who had no money to gamble would rather watch others gamble than leave the gambling room.

Gong Liangmin glanced at Hu Xianyu, who was sitting at the table in the corner. He saw that his whole body was stiff, and he kept looking back at the two strong men behind him. His fingertips were rubbing back and forth on his knees, and his expression was visibly nervous. .

His deep and cruel eyes narrowed slightly, with a trace of imperceptible boredom flashing across his eyes. Just as he was about to walk that way, someone suddenly walked over.

The waiter in the gambling house looked flustered and bowed to Gong Liangmin. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and cautiously asked, "Master Shangshu, why are you here today?"

Before Gong Liangmin started to speak, he heard the young man glance back and say humbly: "Master Shangshu, these people are so anxious that they don't come over to salute you. Your Excellency has a lot, so I will forgive you." Let them..."

"It doesn't matter."

The young man breathed a sigh of relief and asked flatteringly: "Is it possible that Master Shangshu also wants to gamble a few times to satisfy his addiction? Then please come here and I will personally arrange it for you."

He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a contemptuous curve, looked at the boy sideways, and asked with a smile: "Is there anyone in this gambling house who dares to bet with me?"

"Uh..." The boy was silenced and his heart beat like a drum. If he didn't want something to happen to this gambling shop, even if he had the courage, he wouldn't dare to come and block the way of the Minister of Civil Affairs.

The boy stood stagnant, with an expression that looked worse than crying. Whenever Gong Liangmin appeared, nothing good would happen. It seemed that today it was his turn to suffer disaster for the gambling house. (End of chapter)
