The four of them put away the shocked expressions on their faces and saluted Xiao Mubai in the distance. Xia Chu had already walked towards him with a smile: "I told Mr. Jie that I played chess with you and Pass a round.”
Jie Ji Ming's face turned red and he was extremely embarrassed. Xia Chu had indeed made it clear early on, but he just didn't believe it.
At this time, Xie Jiming no longer dared to look down upon the young Marquis, and was truly convinced of him.
Therefore, Xie Jiming bowed respectfully to Xia Chu: "It's true that it's not the young Marquis who bullied the official, it's the lower official who is self-sufficient because of his age and underestimated the young Marquis."
Xiao Mubai looked at Xie Jiming sympathetically, and he had heard a little bit about Xie Jiming.
He was born as the number one scholar in Jinke and now serves as minister of the Ministry of Industry. He is rumored to be upright and outspoken.
Such a self-righteous and arrogant person fell into the hands of Xia Chu tonight, and I am afraid he will suffer a big blow.
"Can you leave?" Xiao Mubai asked Xia Chu with a smile.
Xia Chu nodded and called Bingwen together.
When Bingwen saw Xiao Mubai coming to pick him up in person, he responded knowingly. He would stay here for a while and let Xia Chu follow Xiao Mubai back to the inn.
Xia Chu nodded, turned around and walked back side by side with Xiao Mubai. After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and looked back, saying to Jie Jiming: "Master Jie, I really like playing chess with you. Remember if my hands are itchy." Find me."
Jie Jiming's face turned red, his veins twitched, and his heart trembled. He quickly bowed to him, but did not dare to speak to him again.
"Look, you're scaring people. Let's go quickly." Xiao Mubai pulled him, and Xia Chu turned around and followed him away.
Everyone thought that Xia Chu was joking, but little did they know that Xia Chu meant what he said...
"Did you deliberately hit him?" Xiao Mubai looked at the two figures overlapping in the moonlight, with a touch of fiery red figures bouncing back and forth around their footsteps, which was particularly cute.
"That's right. Jie Jiming is too arrogant and will not be convinced unless he is relegated to the dust." Xia Chu was in a good mood tonight. At this time, he was chasing Xiao Mubai's shadow like a child, enjoying himself. Huh.
"You're not afraid of being hammered too hard, and you'll never recover from it." Xiao Mubai pinched his brows as he watched Xia Chu become more playful, and his body swung from side to side in a very cooperative manner, making him chase and trample more and more happily.
"If you can't bear this little setback, how can you achieve great things in the future?" Xia Chu didn't care.
"In the past, it was okay to beat him, but now he is having a hard time in the court." After Xiao Mubai left the capital, he initially paid attention to Bingwen, and Bingwen took good care of the four sons. Naturally, he He even took a liking to a few of them.
In addition, he knew the affairs of the DPRK better than Xia Chu.
Of course Xie Jiming would not tell others about being ostracized, and he would not complain to Bingwen or Kong Changhui about his broken teeth and blood.
After Xia Chu heard this, Fang stopped playing around and looked up at Xiao Mubai in confusion.
Now, Prince Yu's Mansion has just been completed.
The people from the Ministry of Industry settled the accounts and found that after the renovation of such a large palace, the income was not as much as that of a third-grade palace in the past.
Naturally, everyone's focus was on understanding Ji Ming. If such an incompetent Bodhisattva hadn't been here, how could they have ended up with such dismal profits.
"Did you know that Jie Jiming was suspended from his job today?" Xiao Mubai asked Xia Chu.
"What's going on?" How did Xia Chu know about this? It seems that Bingwen didn't know either, otherwise he should have told him long ago.
"The documents haven't come out yet, but Cui Xuhong, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, should put it forward tomorrow morning." Xiao Mubai had no intention of getting involved in this matter.
Since Xie Jiming is from Xia Chu, he will naturally not let it go.
"Reason?" Xia Chu knew that Xie Jiming's temperament would naturally offend many people, but there must be a reason to remove the fourth-grade minister.
"Our Prince Yu just moved into Prince Yu's Mansion today, and a piece of the building collapsed. Who do you think will take the blame for this?" Xiao Mubai sneered.
Xia Chu nodded, but changed the topic and told Xiao Mubai a few things that could cure him of ice poison.
Xiao Mubai was puzzled at first. With Xia Chu's character, it was impossible for him to just let go.
Then he was shocked by what Xia Chu said about Diandian being able to completely remove his ice poison. He looked at Diandian with a strange look.
And when Diandian heard that he was going to gouge out his heart, he naturally became furious again.
Xiao Mubai reluctantly sent Xia Chu back to his room with joy in his heart. He was thinking that since Xia Chu was busy helping himself and Raven refine the antidote recently, he would go there tomorrow morning and take care of him. Xie Jiming's matter has been resolved.
The reason why Xiao Zimu took a rest first was because although he was staying at the inn, he still had to go to court in the morning.
But Xiao Mubai doesn't need it.
Therefore, after Xiao Mubai saw Xiao Zimu go to the room, he went to look for Xia Chu alone.
Early the next morning, after Xiao Zimu got up and took Xin Ya out, he found Xiao Mubai sitting on the carriage inviting him to accompany him. He asked in confusion: "Is the second brother also going to court today?"
"Yeah, I won't wait for you to come together." Xiao Mubai responded and gave way.
He made an impromptu decision last night to come to the morning court today. He got up too early and didn't get enough rest. After saying this, he closed his eyes and rested his mind.
Xiao Zimu saw that he didn't want to say anything, so he didn't say any more.
Although the two of them walked together all the way, they never exchanged a word.
After entering the court, the emperor was very surprised to see Xiao Mubai coming, but he had no intention of listening to the court officials. He just wanted to hear what Xiao Mubai planned to say when he came to the morning court.
Xiao Mubai, on the other hand, half-closed his eyes absentmindedly, not caring much about what other people said, just waiting for a moment to deal with the matter he wanted to solve.
Finally, at the end, Xiao Yanjun came out and said that the corner of the building in Prince Yu's mansion had collapsed, and the person responsible in the Ministry of Works should be held accountable.
When the emperor heard this, he shouted: "Where is Mr. Cui?"
Unexpectedly, the emperor's words remained silent for a long time.
All the ministers looked at each other in confusion. The Zuo Shilang was naturally Xie Ji Ming. He kept silent anyway. Cui Xuhong just pointed at his nose and told him last night that the emperor would dismiss him from the position of Shilang this morning. How could he come out to speak for him now? .
Upon seeing this, Fang Bolun, the right servant, stood up and replied: "To report to the emperor, Mr. Cui may have gotten up late and hasn't come yet."
The emperor snorted coldly: "He is quite a good official."
Only then did Xiao Mubai realize that Cui Xuhong had not come. After he arrived, he had been standing at the front without looking back at all.
Therefore, I just discovered it.
Xiao Mubai frowned, it seemed that Chao Bai had already arrived.
Seeing the emperor's cold face, Fang Bolun quickly defended: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Mr. Cui investigated clearly the collapse of His Royal Highness Prince Yu's residence yesterday. He was preparing to report back this morning. He probably fell ill suddenly. That’s why I couldn’t come.”
