Kong Changhui's expression changed, and he stood up from his chair with a loud sound in shock. He was thinking that tomorrow there would be a three-chamber trial. Why did Xiao Yanjun come to Dali Temple now
Before he could walk down the hall, Xiao Yanjun was already outside the door.
He glanced at the officer who was Tong Bing. Although there was a smile on his face, his tone was quite cold: "Didn't I tell you not to pass the message? What should I do if it disturbs Mr. Kong's handling of the case?"
Kong Changhui hurriedly walked down the hall to salute. He signaled the guards to retreat with his eyes, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Prince Yu's words are serious. It should be communicated so that the lower officials can go to meet you outside the temple. "
Xiao Yanjun did not embarrass the officer. He turned to look at Kong Changhui with a half-smile on his face: "So, I am wrong?"
Kong Changhui showed a frightened expression on his face, and quickly gave another salute: "How is it possible? Prince Yu is so considerate of the subordinate, but the subordinate did not greet him, which is rude and disrespectful."
Xiao Yanjun didn't know whether he was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, or he was attracted by the kneeling man in the hall. He walked over, looked up and down, and sneered: "Is this torture?"
Kong Changhui quickly stepped forward to defend himself: "No, no, that's all after being captured..."
But Kong Changhui looked at the miserable appearance of the man, and then took a peek at Xiao Yanjun's face. Seeing that he had an expression on his face that said you were lying, his voice became quieter and quieter...
Fortunately, Xiao Yanjun did not continue to ask questions, but asked calmly: "How is the case going?"
Kong Changhui asked Guan Xi to serve tea, and replied: "Isn't this under review? I will need more guidance from Prince Yu tomorrow."
Xiao Yanjun sneered: "I will be here to listen tomorrow. I think Master Kong will do his own justice, but I hope I won't need my advice."
Kong Changhui smiled compensatingly: "I'll do my best, I'll do my best..."
Xiao Yanjun raised his eyebrows and glanced at him: "Let's go."
Kong Changhui looked startled: "Where, where are you going?"
Xiao Yanjun frowned slightly: "Of course I want to go and see our little marquis of Xiao country."
Kong Changhui's expression changed, and he was unsure of his purpose of coming. He happened to see Guan Xi serving tea, so he thought of keeping him for a while, so that Guan Xi could report a message first.
As soon as he thought of this, he winked at Guan Xi, took the tea cup and held it up with both hands: "Prince Yu, drink a cup of hot tea first, moisten your throat, and then I will take you there."
Xiao Yanjun looked disgusted, and Si Nan immediately stepped forward and stopped him: "Our prince is not used to drinking the crude tea you have here."
Kong Changhui looked shy, his raised hand froze, and he pulled it back: "Yes, yes."
Xiao Yanjun's face showed a trace of impatience, and Si Nan continued: "Hurry up, Master Kong?"
Kong Changhui couldn't refuse, so he could only put down the tea cup and walked to the front to lead the way.
Xiao Yanjun walked to the door of the stone chamber and saw Guan Xi standing outside the door. He sneered and taunted Kong Changhui in front of him: "So the reason why Mr. Kong took small steps was to spread the news?"
Kong Changhui stiffened, turned around and smiled awkwardly: "Prince Yu, you misunderstood."
Xiao Yanjun stepped forward, curved the corner of his mouth, and said happily: "It's okay if you misunderstand. I just want to see the panic of the little Marquis."
Kong Changhui's heart sank. Xiao Yanjun came here with bad intentions and was clearly targeting Xia Chu.
While he was thinking about who to inform, Xia Chu's disdainful snort came from inside: "Even if I have to disappoint Prince Yu, I'm doing pretty well."
When Xiao Yanjun heard this, the corners of his curled mouth dropped instantly, he turned around and walked into the stone room with a flourish of his sleeves.
After entering, I took a closer look and saw Xia Chu leaning on the thick bedding. There was a stove crackling beside the stone bed. There were scattered books that had been read around the bedside. There was still warm wine on the table and a lot of side dishes. The table is full, and there are many kinds of tea and preserved fruit snacks on the small table next to it.
Xiao Yanjun gritted his teeth, he was really enjoying himself!
He grabbed Kong Changhui who was outside the door, pulled him in, held up his collar and scolded him: "Are all the prisoners in prison now treated so well?"
Xiao Yanjun originally thought that even if Xia Chu was handed over to the Yushitai, Feng Zhen would not dare to treat him harshly. He might as well be a favor and show his magnanimity. No matter what, he would die in the end and let him live in peace for two days.
But Xiao Yanjun didn't expect that Kong Changhui would dare to serve him like this blatantly.
Kong Changhui could only bounce his feet and reply: "This is not yet a conviction. At most, he is just a suspect."
"Why are Prince Yu so angry? Mr. Kong is a third-rank minister of Dali Temple after all. You are grabbing his official uniform like this, and you are not afraid of losing your dignity if it is reported to the emperor." Xia Chu's tone was full of ridicule. meaning.
Xiao Yanjun glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw him turning the bracelet on his wrist, looking at him with a sneer expression, a sneer on his lips, and the fire in his heart suddenly burned up.
He boasted that he had always had good self-control over the years, but the young man lying on the bed could always easily make him lose control of his emotions and become furious.
At this moment, he just wanted to slap Xia Chu's disgusted face into the stone wall.
Xiao Yanjun managed to suppress his surging anger, gritted his teeth, let go of his hand, and patted Kong Changhui's collar hard on the wrinkles caused by his tugging.
With a cold smile on his lips, he looked up at Kong Changhui, who was coughing after being slapped, and asked, "Suspect? Has the person who was kneeling in the hall just now been convicted?"
Kong Changhui was stunned for a moment, then replied: "No, I haven't finished the trial yet."
Xiao Yanjun snorted coldly: "Since there is no such thing, then he is just a suspect at most. He was beaten to pieces by you, but the real owner is living happily in this room. Is this how Mr. Kong handles cases?"
Kong Changhui waved his hands repeatedly: "That's different, not to mention that man, he wasn't beaten by a lower official..."
Xiao Yanjun waved him away and then ordered: "Assemble the torture device."
Kong Changhui was unwilling to move, so he knelt down with a plop and begged: "Your Majesty, can you please..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Xia Chu scolding in a deep voice: "Get up."
Kong Changhui opened his mouth and turned to look at Xia Chu, only to see his face was solemn and his eyes were full of coldness, and he looked at him with a sharper look.
Kong Changhui had never seen Xia Chu speak so harshly before, so he gritted his teeth and could only stand up.
"Go." Xiao Yanjun ordered Si Nan.
Kong Changhui watched Si Nan accept the order and retreat, feeling extremely anxious in his heart. He kept thinking about who could stop him, but after much thought, no one could restrain the identity of Prince Xiao Yanjun...
Your Majesty!
Kong Changhui's eyes suddenly lit up. His Highness Prince Mo had come to see him two days ago and asked him to arrange a secret meeting with Xia Chu. His Highness Prince Mo would definitely be able to stop Prince Yu!
As soon as he thought about this, he silently retreated to Guan Xi and was about to give instructions, but he heard Xia Chu cough lightly and looked up. There was a warning in his eyes and he shook his head slightly at him.
