The reborn prince can't be pushed down

Chapter 152 Arbitration

This chaos caused countless people in the imperial capital to watch, and the streets were full of people.

Lu Ji didn't dare to ask someone to put shackles on Xiao Jingtian's mother and son, so the group walked to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion under the watchful eyes of the people on both sides.

To Lu Ji's surprise, Luo Feng, the deputy general who followed Xiao Jingtian for the longest time, led a group of soldiers and lined up at the gate of the government office.

"What's the meaning of this, Vice Admiral Luo?"

Lu Ji who stood at the front frowned, he brought out only a dozen Shuntian Mansion servants, how could they compare with well-trained soldiers, not to mention that Luo Feng brought about a hundred people.It was so dark that it surrounded the gate of Shuntian Mansion Yamen.

Luo Feng took a step forward, "The last general came to welcome the general back to the military department, and deal with important matters in the army!"

He spoke in an undeniable tone, wearing black armor exuding an aura of intimacy, and a scar from the corner of his left eye winding to the corner of his mouth, adding a bit of ruthlessness.

Lu Ji is a person who has experienced a narrow escape, he didn't back down at all, he just said indifferently: "If General Xiao has something to do, he can leave."

Luo Feng and the subordinates behind him breathed a sigh of relief, but Xiao Jingtian looked at him suspiciously.

But Lu Ji continued: "Old Mrs. Xiao, who I want to interrogate, does not matter whether General Xiao is there or not."

Xiao Jingtian squinted his eyes at Lu Ji, "You are more courageous than your father."

After hearing what he said, Lu Ji was noncommittal, but just confronted Luo Feng, refusing to back down in the slightest.

When Luo Feng heard this, he immediately became angry, and he pulled out his sword "swipe" and pointed at Lu Ji, "Don't toast or eat fine wine!"

At this moment, a pair of imperial guards rushed out from the streets on both sides, and quickly blocked Lu Ji, forcing Luo Feng to retreat a little.

Zuo Ming slowly walked in front of Luo Feng, "Shuntian Mansion is an important place in the capital, and Deputy General Luo is so defiant, who gave you the courage?"

Seeing Zuo Ming appear, Xiao Jingtian raised his hand to stop Luo Feng, signaling him not to act rashly.He walked up to Zuo Ming, "Where is she?"

The commanders of the Imperial Army were dispatched, and Ning Yuezhao must have known about it. Xiao Jingtian had a bad premonition that today's incident might not end so easily.

Zuo Ming naturally knew who Xiao Jingtian was talking about, he rarely smiled, "The general will know when he enters Shuntian Mansion."

Xiao Jingtian's heart shuddered, and he said to Luo Feng: "Take people back, they will be dealt with here."

Luo Feng said worriedly: "General!"

Xiao Jingtian waved his hand and said impatiently: "Go back!"

Luo Feng had no choice but to lead his people away from the front of the government office.

Lu Ji flicked his sleeves and stepped into the gate of the government office first.

Xiao Jingtian was a step behind, and said earnestly to Lin's language: "Mother, son, I beg you, don't mess around anymore."

Lin was still under arrest with a cloth stuffed in her mouth. Although she was stupid, she also knew that the situation in front of her seemed to be unfavorable to them, so she nodded obediently.

Xiao Jingtian breathed a sigh of relief, before he entered the lobby, Zuo Ming ordered the imperial guards to separate Xiao Jingtian from the people behind.

Xiao Jingtian turned around and looked at Zuo Ming with a cold face, "What does Commander Zuo mean?"

Zuo Ming blocked him with his sleeves, and said: "Don't you want to see her? Just ask the general to move to the back hall first."

Xiao Jingtian glanced at Mrs. Lin, only to see Mrs. Lin shaking her head at him.

Lu Ji, who was already sitting in the high hall, said in a loud voice: "General Xiao, this has always been the case in the government office. To prevent collusion, you must come one by one. The general should go to the back hall to avoid it first."

Xiao Jingtian clenched his hands into fists, but the situation was stronger than others, so he could only walk to the back hall with a cold face.

"Ascension!" Lu Ji slapped the gavel, and the interrogation officially began.

"Mighty!" Two rows of yamen servants lined up in parallel hit the ground with water and fire sticks, and the sound was loud.

At this time, Lin's restraint had been loosened, and the cloth in his mouth was also taken out.With a lift of her neck, she strode to the center of the courtroom, standing upright without kneeling.

"I am the wife of the late great general, and she is also a person with a mandate. Just you, a little Shuntian governor, are not qualified to make me kneel!"

Lin was as insolent as ever, which made Xiao Jingtian's eyes twitch involuntarily when he just stepped into the back hall.

The back hall of the government office is not spacious, but because of the arrival of Ning Yuezhao and Jiang Nian, the tables and chairs have been set up and tea is served.

"What exactly do you want?"

Seeing the two drinking tea calmly, Xiao Jing asked in a cold voice, his teeth itching from the weather.

Ning Yuezhao put the teacup heavily on the high-leg table at hand, and said in a somewhat displeased voice, "General Xiao's words are interesting, you want to protect your mother, can my mother let your mother insult you?" Slander?"

Xiao Jingtian clenched his fists and Yuan Xi, who was standing beside Ning Yuezhao, took half a step forward with a bad look on his face.

Xiao Jingtian glanced at Yuan Xi, took a deep breath and said, "My mother is old and has been ill recently, so she can't help talking nonsense. Your Majesty has a lot, so don't bother with her, a woman in a deep house."

Jiang Nian also put down the teacup, gently held Ning Yuezhao's hand, and said calmly, "General Xiao is so confident, I believe that Lu Ji will give Mrs. Xiao justice."

At this time, in the front lobby, Lu Ji laughed when he heard the words, "Old Madam Xiao speaks clearly and thinks quickly, she doesn't seem to be sick! You don't need to kneel, but I'm just listening to the matter of Feng Teahouse today, but It’s better to be clear.”

Lin said nonchalantly: "Old man's illness is always good and sometimes bad, just now he became dizzy for some reason, and now he can't remember what he said."

When it comes to nonsense, no one is Lin's opponent, Xiao Jingtian in the back hall couldn't help but calm down, and when he looked at Jiang Nian again, his eyes were a little provocative.

Jiang Nian smiled indifferently, and the best show was yet to come.

Lu Ji's face darkened, and he patted the gavel, "Since Mrs. Xiao can't remember clearly, I'll send a certificate to remind Mrs. Xiao."

"Bring the shopkeeper of Tingfeng Tea House!"

As soon as Lu Ji finished speaking, a yamen servant came up with Qian Yang.

"Grassmen see Mr. Fu Yin!"

Qian Yang knelt down in the lobby, in stark contrast to the arrogant Lin.

"Treasurer Qian, tell me about the situation at that time, and remind Mrs. Xiao."

"Yes." Qian Yang knelt straight, "Today Mrs. Xiao and General Xiao came to the private room of the shop, but before the storytelling started, there was a dispute in the private room. Why is the villain It's not clear, when everyone noticed the strange situation in Yajian, Mrs. Xiao had already started insulting the former emperor and the current emperor, such disrespectful words, I dare not repeat them!"

Lu Ji glanced at the arrogant Lin, and continued to ask Qian Yang, "Old Madam Xiao claimed to be unwell, so was there anything unusual about her coming to the teahouse today?"

Qian Yang shook his head, "It's not abnormal. When Mrs. Xiao came to the teahouse, she was in the same state as she is now. But General Xiao tried to buy the villain with 1 taels of silver after the little one sent someone to report to the official, so that the villain said Mrs. Xiao said those nonsense because she was in a daze."

"Bah!" Lin spat at Qian Yang in the hall, "What nonsense, did someone see what you said? Pay back 1 taels of silver. My son is an upright official. Where can I get 1 taels of silver? Are you Think about money like crazy!"

Lu Ji slapped the gavel, and said sharply: "Old Madam Xiao, this is the Shuntian government office, please watch your words and deeds!"

Qian Yang took out his handkerchief, and calmly wiped the saliva off his cheeks, "At that time, all the guests in the teahouse heard what you said, as long as the adults send a few random people, they can confirm it."

Originally, when the Shuntian government government tried the case, the people could stand outside the fence and watch, but today, due to special circumstances, the imperial guards stood outside the door, so no one listened.

Lin's heart was also a little weak, but she was the master who disturbed three points unreasonably, and immediately covered her head and said: "Oh, why is my head hurting so much!"

After speaking, she fell to the ground, covered her head and moaned, "Shuntian Mansion is going to kill people, thanks to my old general who threw his head and blood for the great prosperity of the country, and even lost his life, now you people bully me alone Widow, is there any justice left..."

Lu Ji watched her pretending to be sick, her acting skills were so poor that she couldn't bear to look directly at her, but she still acted very seriously.

Xiao Jingtian, who was in the back hall, stretched out his hand and pressed his forehead, feeling mixed emotions.The happy thing is that Mrs. Lin is not too confused, and she didn't speak out in the court anymore; the worry is that Mrs. Lin is so nonsense, the traces of pretending to be sick are too obvious.

Jiang Qingnian laughed, "General Xiao, Mrs. Xiao seems to be really ill!"

Xiao Jingtian said absent-mindedly: "I have already said that my mother is talking nonsense because of her illness."

Ning Yuezhao looked at him coldly, "Since Mrs. Xiao is seriously ill, Yuan Xi, go to the imperial hospital to pass on Fu Liao. This is my favor to the late general's widow!"

Who didn't know that Fu Liao was Ning Yuezhao's confidant, Xiao Jingtian's nerves tensed up again.

"Your Majesty, my mother has an old problem. She has already been seen by a regular doctor. It is inappropriate to change someone rashly."

"Looking at the old lady's appearance, the doctor that General Xiao hired before must not be very good. Fu Liao's medical skills are obvious to all. If he treats the old lady, he will definitely cure her illness!"

Xiao Jing gritted his teeth because of the weather, and couldn't help but look forward again.

Lu Ji wanted someone to help Mrs. Lin up, but as soon as the yamen servants approached her, she would bite and beat others without hesitation.

Ordinary people really can't do anything about this kind of person who is completely desperate.

Lu Ji snorted coldly, "The Shuntian Mansion does not care about raising you. Even a woman can't control you. From now on, you will still guard the safety of the people in the imperial capital. Please help me and stabilize you, otherwise you won't come to work tomorrow Already!"

The yamen servant was still concerned about Lin's identity before, but now that the lord let him go, he endured being scratched a few times by her, and forced him to hold him down.

Xiao Jingtian couldn't bear it now, and wanted to rush to the lobby, but Jiang Nian got up from the chair in a flash, and quickly moved in front of Xiao Jingtian, blocking his way.

"You want to stop me?" Xiao Jingtian's voice was a little cold, but also a little domineering.

With one hand behind his back, Jiang Nian stretched out the other slowly, and said indifferently: "I have heard that General Xiao is the number one warrior in Daxing, and Gu happened to have practiced a few kung fu skills, so if you don't think so today, let's ask the general for some advice! "
