In recent days, the wind in Huichuan County has been turbulent. The people actually didn't know what was going on, but the sudden arrival of soldiers and horses and holy chariots made them extremely nervous and panicked.
Nowadays, when people are queuing up to buy rice, they see that the guard of honor of Prince Zhongshun is escorted by soldiers and horses into the city. Thinking that this prince was once the supervisor in charge of the construction of the imperial mausoleum, the people all have it in their hearts. guess.
Eighty percent of this prince was also dragged down by the matter of the imperial mausoleum.
For the sake of an imperial tomb, how many lives were lost in it!
There are also those who are well-informed, or who happened to have been to the capital just before Pang Xiao came to Huichuan County. Knowing the message from the capital at that time, they discussed it in secret and said insightfully: "What do you know? It's impossible to say that the prince is supervised by the imperial mausoleum. The errand is deliberately arranged by someone with a heart!"
Pang Xiao didn't care about this at all, and came to the government office amid the chatter of the crowd. Shi Shiran got off the carriage, and accompanied Xiong Jinshui and Ma Cheng to the back office courtyard.
Li Qitian was watching the report from the capital at this time.
"Reporting to the Holy Master, Prince Zhongshun brought it here."
Li Qitian's gaze stagnated when he read the report, and he calmly put down the report, "Let him come in."
"According to the order."
Not long after, Pang Xiao, who was wearing a silver-white cloud brocade sleeve robe and a jade belt around his waist, entered the door with the "accompaniment" of eight guards.
Li Qitian was sitting in the first place, squinting slightly and looking at Pang Xiao, the man strode closer like a Lanzhi Yushu, and Li Qitian's heart became more and more panicked because he was young and handsome.
"My minister sees the saint." Pang Xiao respectfully saluted.
Li Qitian didn't answer, his scrutiny changed to scrutiny.
It seems that Pang Xiao's time in Danfu County was much more nourishing than he was.
While he was working hard for the country, Pang Xiao was enjoying it with ease, and in the end, he stole his treasure without any effort!
The anger that could have been suppressed suddenly ignited, and Li Qitian suddenly slapped the table and scolded: "Pang Zhixi! You know the crime!"
Pang Xiao bowed respectfully on his forehead: "Sacred Lord, calm down."
"Quiet your anger? You lied and used me like this, and let me calm down!"
"The minister does not understand the meaning of the sage. If the minister is wrong, ask the sage to make it clear."
Li Qitian's chest rose and fell violently, and he laughed in anger: "Since you want me to express it, I will express it to you! Where are you hiding the treasure? Tell me, and I can save trouble."
Pang Xiao stood up in a daze, and he couldn't even care about the rules of not being able to look directly at Tianyan, and said in shock, "The holy man said treasure? Is it the treasure from the Yan Dynasty?"
This guy is still pretending!
"Otherwise!" Li Qitian got up angrily, strode in front of Pang Xiao, and said condescendingly, "I treat you as a brother and treat you well, but you have repeatedly violated the ban. This time, I knew that Da Zhou needed this batch of treasures. You have to hide it in private, how can you be worthy of your sworn sworn relationship back then when you act like this!"
Pang Xiao seemed to be a little angry with Li Qitian's roar, his sword brows clenched tightly, and a vertical line was squeezed out between his brows.
"Why did the sage say this! This minister has always been aiming to recuperate in Danfu County, and he has never stepped out of Danfu at all, so how can he know about the treasure!
"The sage said that the treasure was hidden by a small minister, where did you hear the nonsense? As a minister, now that the family has been wiped out, the food town is enough for the minister, so why should the minister hide the treasure
"Besides, the treasure of the Yan Dynasty must not be a small amount. If the minister moved the treasure, how could he not disturb others? Who the hell told the sage about this? Someone must have framed it!"
The more Pang Xiao argued, the louder his voice became, and he almost roared in the end.
Li Qitian knew that Pang Xiao looked rough, but he was actually very cautious, shouting in front of him was something that would never have happened.
And the reason why he is so angry, does it mean that he has been wronged
Li Qitian became suspicious of Lu Heng's words.
Lu Heng's every move that day was still clearly in front of him. Li Qitian thought back carefully and found that Lu Heng seemed to be too calm at the time.
Compared with the gaffe of Pang Xiao now, the performance of the two of them is actually the appearance of Pang Xiao, which makes Li Qitian more convinced.
However, Li Qitian was more willing to believe what Lu Heng said.
"You still have to make excuses! I have been thinking of brotherhood for many years, and I refused to directly order you to be arrested. I only asked you to come and ask you in person. You still refuse to tell the truth! Do you want me to open a court trial? You, or you will be willing to tell the truth if you hand you over to the Three Judicial Justices!"
"Then the sage will hand over the minister to the three justices!"
Pang Xiao stalked his neck and said with injuries, "I am loyal to the Sage, and I still remember the love of fighting together in the past. Although I serve the Sage as the master, I still regard the Sage as a big brother in my heart. I didn't expect that the Sage would believe other people's nonsense. Nonsense, accusing the minister without any basis! Why should you admit what the minister has not done! What treasure did you ask the minister to hand over, and the minister did not hide it at all, so what would you give it to!"
"Okay. Good. You didn't hide, you were wronged." Li Qitian turned around with a sneer, strode back to the table, and took a seat, his hand with the jade finger clenched into a fist, "You refuse to tell the truth for a while, I I will ask you to go to the Three Judicial Justices!"
"Go and go!" Pang Xiao actually stood up, blushing and said, "It's just inexplicable, the sage is still the eldest brother, so he suspects that he is the younger brother? Even if it is to be convicted, there is still some evidence, which is good. , there is nothing, forcing the minister to confess his guilt, and the treasured minister has never seen it, how can he confess his guilt
"You!" Li Qitian was furious and slammed the table hard, "Do you still have the emperor in your eyes!"
"If you weren't the emperor, I would have beaten you up a long time ago! Look at yourself as a big brother!"
"Presumptuous! Come on, take this guy who has committed the following crimes to me, reward him with 20 boards, and teach him what rules are!"
The guards standing in and out of the house have been frightened for a long time. They have followed Li Qitian for many years, and this is the first time they have seen a courtier dare to quarrel with the sage.
They all felt embarrassed in their hearts, and Prince Ren Zhongshun didn't say anything wrong. These days, the Holy One has really lost his head because of the treasure. I just don't know if I hit the prince's board at this time, will the saint regret it when he looks back
If the prince hates them, will he want to report the revenge of the board in the future
Several guards went back and forth, came forward and pressed Pang Xiao's arm and went out.
Pang Xiao was still angrily shouting: "The Holy Master has wronged a loyal minister! The sin of a minister will be condemned without any basis and evidence, and the loyal minister will be punished for no reason, and the minister will not be convinced!"
Li Qitian saw that Pang Xiao was still clamoring in the yard. Didn't everyone know about it, he couldn't help but get more angry: "Then hit you until you are convinced! Hit me! Hit me hard!"
