Chapter 158: Chapter 158: Poems

After a short silence, the officials in the court inevitably started to discuss. The tax silver case has been investigated to this point, and the whole story is well known.

Zhou Baihu, the former Jinwu Guard who fled, was the culprit who colluded with the demon clan and smuggled gunpowder into the imperial city.

As for whether he was the culprit, everyone has their own opinions. Anyway, the bigwigs in the court rarely have low IQs. Therefore, Wei Yuan's words were like a boulder smashing into the temple, causing an uproar.

Although Wei Yuan, the old eunuch with no family left, is annoying, he is also a respectable opponent. His words are still very valuable.

Someone is going to be finished... This is the unanimous inner thought of the bigwigs in the court.

The Minister of Rites changed color, his gray beard trembled, his pupils froze instantly, and stared straight at Wei Yuan.

This old man's Qi cultivation skills have always been praised, and he rarely loses his composure like this.

Emperor Yuan Jing said in a deep voice: "Announce!"

.....

Xu Qi'an sat in the driving seat, lifted the curtain and looked at Zhou Chixiong. This guy was still in a coma. In order to prevent this person from committing suicide, Xu Qi'an asked Chu Caiwei for a large dose of drugs.

The reason why Xu Qi'an chose Yunlu Academy to take over this person instead of collecting him into the Earth Book Fragment was that he had two concerns: First, this person was in the Refining Spirit Realm, and his rank was higher than his, so he didn't dare to take the risk.

Second, the existence of the Earth Book Fragment was a secret and could not be shown to others openly. He couldn't enter the Golden Palace and take out the Earth Book Fragment in front of the emperor and the ministers in the court.

Of course, if there was no other way, he would still choose to use the Earth Book, but now he had enough connections to do things, so he tried not to use the Earth Book.

"Brother Song, Brother Yang Qianhuan, which disciple of Lord Jianzheng is he?" While waiting for the news in the court, Xu Qi'an chatted with Brother Song.

Senior Brother Song's dark circles are rare in the world. In his previous life, he would definitely be considered a fan of group sex, but Song Qing is a science and engineering man who is not interested in women.

He only sees humans and animals, not women.

"He is my and Caiwei's senior brother, and the third disciple of the teacher." Song Qing took a few steps closer to him and whispered, "My senior brother has a problem with his brain."

Can the disciple of the supervisor have a normal brain? Xu Qi'an expressed his doubts about this, put his hands behind his back, and imitated Yang Qianhuan's standing posture.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Song Qing nodded repeatedly: "He always likes to turn his back to people, and he doesn't talk properly. His brothers are very annoyed with him, but he himself is not ashamed, but complacent."

"Why is this?" Xu Qi'an thought of the short moment he spent with Yang Qianhuan that night in the Jiaofang Division.

"He said that he had to turn his back to all living beings to show his master's style." Song Qing said.

Is he cosplaying the Emperor Wu Shi... Xu Qi'an was very uncomfortable with a mouthful of grudges stuck in his throat.

This is not Chuunibyou. Chuunibyou is a cognitive deviation and a problem with the nature of thinking. This is the King of Force, because pretending to be forceful is to take the initiative, not a cognitive problem.

Xu Qiyan thought for a while and said, "Brother Song, please tell him a message for me."

"You say."

Xu Qiyan lowered his voice: "Holding the bright moon and picking the stars, there is no one like me in the world."

Arrogant!

Yang Yan and Jiang Luzhong's ears moved, and they heard it and turned their heads subconsciously.

For a warrior, hearing such a sentence is like a gangster seeing another gangster showing off. It is easy to arouse a desire to win.

The last time Xu Qiyan sang "Sword in hand, ask who is the hero in the world" in the Star Observatory, Nangong Qianrou sneered, and this is the reason.

Senior Brother Yang will definitely like this crazy talk, but if he talks nonsense everywhere... he will be beaten... it's good to be beaten, I've long been fed up with his attitude... Song Qing nodded happily: "I will definitely bring him here."

As he spoke, an eunuch led a line of soldiers out, looked around at the gate of the palace, and said loudly:

"Where is the night watchman?"

Jiang Luzhong bowed and said: "Here!"

After everyone took out their waist badges and gold medals to prove their identities, the eunuch nodded and said: "Follow me into the palace, His Majesty summons you."

Yang Yan immediately lifted the curtain of the carriage and held Zhou Chixiong by his neck. "Who is this?" On the way into the palace, the eunuch asked curiously.

"Wanted criminal, Zhou Chixiong." Xu Qian'an replied.

"Why are you still wearing a sack? Let me see." The eunuch seemed very interested and came

over.

Jiang Luzhong blocked him and shook his head, saying, "No one is allowed to contact the prisoner before seeing His Majesty."

The eunuch frowned, scanned everyone's faces, and said in a deep voice, "Before seeing His Majesty, you need to verify his identity. How do we know if this person is a sinister person who disguised himself as Zhou Chixiong and sneaked into the palace to assassinate His

Majesty.

"Of course, we are not saying that you are accomplices, but even the wisest man can mak mistakes. It is possible that you were deceived."

Jiang Luzhong still shook his head.

"What do you mean?" The eunuch stopped, squinted his eyes, and examined everyone: "We now suspect this person's identity and need to verify his identity."

The line of soldiers stopped and stared at Jiang Luzhong and others solemnly.

These words were well-reasoned and there was nothing wrong with them. It was just that they were brought up at this time, which made things sensitive all of a sudden.

Xu Qiyan knew a lot of ways to kill people silently, and I believe that the two Jinluo knew more. As warriors, they were mostly unable to stop it, because warriors were good at violent

output.

And if Zhou Chixiong died, who would take the blame for the silent death in a coma? It certainly wouldn't be the eunuch in front of him.

Because the identity of the other criminal belongs to the normal process.

This eunuch has a faction... Most likely he is from the party of the Minister of Rites... Sure enough, if I came alone without the two Jinluo, the great scholar Zhang Shen, and the

brothers and sisters of the Sitianjian... I might have fallen on the eve of victory.

Thinking of this, Xu Qiyan smiled and said, "Eunuch, when I see His Majesty later, I will say: Eunuch tried to kill Zhou Chixiong to silence him."

"Son! "The eunuch was furious, "You dare to slander our family, come, arrest him."

"Eunuch..." Xu Qi'an said loudly: "Think about it carefully, if there is a conflict here, His Majesty is not a fool, and the officials in the court are not fools either. Have you considered the consequences?"

The eunuch sneered: "Yellow-haired boy, have you thought about the consequences?"

Xu Qi'an pressed the knife with one hand, walked over, and whispered in the eunuch's ear: "Don't be arrogant with a desperate man like me, it's not worth it, eunuch, you are doing things for others, just do your best. You are not a core member of the Wang Party, don't make

mistakes."

The face of the eunuch in his early thirties changed for a moment, and he said sharply: "I won't argue with you."

Arriving outside the Jinluan Palace, the eunuch went to report, and soon, Emperor Yuan Jing summoned Xu Qi'an and his party to enter the palace.

Stepping over the exaggerated knee-high threshold, Xu Qi'an entered the main hall of the imperial palace and met these people who stood at the pinnacle of power in Dafeng again.

Especially the majestic middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe and sitting on the dragon

throne.

The officials in the court slightly turned sideways and looked at the gate of the Jinluan Palace, watching Xu Qi'an and his party come in.

Still a little nervous... The core of the power stage of Dafeng... Xu Qi'an exhaled a long breath

and suppressed those little uneasiness.

Wei Yuan's gentle eyes fell on Xu Qi'an's face and nodded slightly.

Xu Qi'an was no longer afraid. He took Zhou Baihu from Jiang Jinluo, took off the sack, and

clamped his neck, forcing him to raise his face in a coma:

"Your Majesty, this is the wanted criminal of the court, former Jinwu Guard Captain Zhou

Chixiong."

There was a lot of discussion.

The face of the Minister of Rites slowly turned pale.

Xu Qiyan tapped several acupuncture points of Zhou Chixiong with his fingers. "Hmm~" Captain Zhou slowly opened his eyes amidst the painful groan.

Then he was stunned.

In front of him was Emperor Yuan Jing, who was high on the throne, and on both sides were

the officials of the court. Above his head was the magnificent "Golden Palace Plaque", and under his feet were shining crystal diamonds.

Maybe it was because of the wrong way to open his eyes... Captain Zhou closed his eyes again. "Pah!" Xu Qiyan slapped him and sneered, "Sun thief, you are back home in glory." Zhou Chixiong, whose hands and feet were numb, was thrown to the ground. He did not stand up, but crouched down, crying tremblingly, "I deserve to die, I deserve to die." After the Yunzhou stronghold was breached, Zhou Chixiong was knocked unconscious and sent to the capital on a fire-feathered beast. He was unconscious all the way. He was fed water several times on the way, but no food.

After finally arriving in the capital, Xu Qiyan felt that he was in good condition, so he simply

kept him unconscious and drugged him again.

Emperor Yuan Jing looked serious and looked down at him: "Zhou Chixiong, who instructed you to collude with the demon tribe and smuggle gunpowder?"

Zhou Chixiong lay on the ground and kept saying: "I deserve to die..."

Emperor Yuan Jing no longer looked at this ant, but stared at Zhang Shen beside Xu Qiyan, and

said gently: "Mr. Zhang, thank you for your trouble."

Zhang Shen snorted coldly, and did not respond to the emperor directly. He stepped out, put

his hands behind his back, and said: "A gentleman should be honest, and so should a common man."

The invisible breeze blew across the entire Jinluan Palace. In an instant, the word "honesty" occupied the minds of everyone in the palace.

"Who instructed you to collude with the demon clan and smuggle gunpowder?"

"Yes, it was... Li Yulang, the Minister of Rites." Zhou Chixiong burst into tears.

In an instant, the Jinluan Palace exploded. The ministers completely lost their ability to

control their expressions and were in turmoil.

An attendant stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this is absurd. Zhou Chixiong is slandering..."

Song Qing interrupted coldly: "Captain Zhou did not lie."

Chu Caiwei repeated like a repeater: "No lie."

The Qi-watching technique cannot observe ministers above the fourth rank, but it can

measure Zhou Chixiong.

The Minister of Rites looked pale.

There was no point in making excuses. When Zhou Chixiong was caught, he had already lost. Unless he knew about this in advance and killed him halfway.

"Li Yulang, what do you have to say? "Emperor Yuan Jing said.

The Minister of Rites took a deep breath and restrained his dejected look: "I am innocent."

He seemed to be struggling to death, but he did not even have any extra words of defense,

only three pale words.

Wei Yuan immediately said: "Your Majesty, please let me interrogate this beast and replace out

his accomplices."

The Minister of Punishment followed and challenged Wei Yuan: "Your Majesty, this case should be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for handling." Emperor Yuan Jing did not answer, but silently looked down at the officials in the court,

causing the officials to stop discussing and bow their heads slightly.

After a long time, Emperor Yuan Jing said loudly: "This case will be handed over to the

Ministry of Punishment for handling."

After the court was dismissed, the Minister of Rites, who was stripped of his official robes and

hat, was escorted out of the palace.

"Stay!"

The Minister of Rites, who was as disappointed as death, turned his head, and the people of

the Ministry of Justice and others around him also turned their heads. They saw the small

bronze gong of the night watchman's office chasing after them. The people of the Ministry of Justice stepped forward to stop them.

Xu Qian'an did not force it. He stopped and looked at the Minister of Justice and the Minister

of Rites, and said lightly: "I heard about what happened in the court a few days ago from Duke

Wei. If you Wang Dang had settled things earlier, there would not be today." This scene was watched by many officials, and they couldn't help but stop and watch.

In the distance, Wei Yuan stopped by the carriage and looked over this side.

Yang Yan whispered: "Foster father, do you want to call him back?" Wei Yuan shook his head: "It is inevitable that he has resentment in his heart. If he doesn't

vent it now, when will he? You keep an eye on him, don't let him intensify the conflict."

At this point, he smiled gently: "I also want to see what he says. "

Sun Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice narrowed his eyes and said disdainfully: "You little

brat, you are speaking nonsense here."

Xu Qiyan was not angry at all, and said: "Do the two ministers know that I am quite talented

in poetry? I dare not speak nonsense, I just want to give a poem to Sun Shangshu and Li

Shangshu.

"The name of the poem is "Sangpo Case-Gift to Sun Shangshu""

Give a poem?!

The ministers around were stunned at first, and then they became excited. They didn't mind

joining in the fun, and they didn't care about Sun Shangshu's face. They all rushed over. "Let's go and listen." Wei Yuan's eyes lit up and strode over.

Sun Shangshu's face changed, and he remembered Xu Qiyan's reputation and his poems. A

strong sense of uneasiness surged in his heart.

Xu Qiyan said loudly:

"Everyone raises a son hoping that he will be smart, but I was misled by my intelligence."

"I only hope that the child will be stupid and rude, and will be a minister without any

disaster."
