The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 207

[Chapter 207 The traitor!]

Although he was prepared, he did not expect it.

This person is so bold!

After the old man calmed down, he looked at Fang Xiu with a pair of deep eyes and said, “Since you want to arrest Yang Ming and bring him to justice, do you have the documents from the court?”

I have to say that this old man’s mentality is really stable.

If an ordinary person is scolded like this, he may jump over the wall in a hurry, or he may lose his mind and continue to quarrel or scold Fang Xiu.

But he was able to adjust his mentality in a short period of time and pretend to be nonchalant. It’s really admirable

that since he doesn’t continue to struggle with this matter, Fang Xiu is too lazy to do so.

He looked at the old man and said: “There is no document.”

The old man said expressionlessly: “Since there is no document, what qualifications do you have and what authority do you have to go to the Shangshu Mansion to get people?”

Fang Xiu did not answer his question directly and said lightly. He said: “He is just cooperating with the investigation.

Yang Ming colluded with the gangsters in the capital to oppress the people. This reason should be enough for him to cooperate with the investigation, right?”

“Colluded with the gangsters?”

The old man looked calm and composed. With a look like that, he asked: “Is there any evidence?”

Fang Xiu smiled and said, “The thousands of people outside Shangshu’s Mansion are the best evidence!”

The old man shook his head and said, “How do I know? Are those people being bewitched by you, or taking advantage of you, and deliberately going against Yang Ming?” When

Fang Xiu heard this, he looked at the old man with disdain, and said: “The dignified Minister of Rites, the first rank of the imperial court ?

Sir, are you just talking nonsense with your eyes open?

There are so many people out there, in the whole Chu country, who can respond to them at once,

if those rogue gangsters are not bullying them too much, who would be willing to do it in the hot summer? , come to your Shangshu Mansion to do these thankless things?”

The old man looked unconcerned and said: “I never said that those rogues did not bully the people,

they just bullied the people .

What does it have to do with it? What should you do in the Kyoto government office and my minister’s residence?”

Fang Xiu looked at the old man and asked: “As an official of the imperial court, shouldn’t you be able to solve problems for the people? I really don’t know how you are doing this. With the position of Minister of Rites, you can actually say such things as disregarding the common people!

Moreover, as I said just now, your son Yang Ming is colluding with gangsters. Naturally, the mastermind behind the scenes must be found out when he is arrested. Envoy!”

When the old man heard this, he frowned slightly and said impatiently: “I don’t want to get involved with you on these matters.

Since there is no document from the court, these are just your words. It’s not because I came to you. “This matter.”

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Fang Xiu: “Well, since you are unwilling to admit that Yang Ming colluded with the thugs,

then you still have to protect him when he sent someone to assassinate the princess .

“?”

After hearing these words, the old man’s expression changed for the first time.

Assassinating Her Royal Highness the Princess is a capital crime for the Nine Tribes!

There is no room for maneuver if anyone touches it.

If Yang Ming really did this, the foundation accumulated by the Yang family over the years would be reduced to ashes in an instant.

Even for myself, the Minister of Rites, I am afraid that there will be no good end for me.

This matter, whether it is true or not, must not be admitted!

“Shut up!”

The old man suddenly stood up from the Grand Master’s chair, slammed the table, and said angrily: “You are slandering others!”

Fang Xiu looked at the old man, smiled, and said: “Are you slandering others, as long as We’ll find out when we get to the Kyoto government office.”

The old man stretched out his hand, pointed at Fang Xiu, and said coldly: “Without the court documents, I won’t be able to let you take Yang Ming away today no matter what.”

Fang Xiu looked at it .

He looked at the old man and asked, “Really?”

The old man said, “You can try it.”

Before he finished speaking, he saw Fang Xiu take out a golden sign from his arms, with a five-clawed golden dragon carved on it. Lifelike.

For a moment, his mind went blank.

“I wonder if Master Shangshu recognizes this gold medal?”

Fang Xiu said calmly, holding the gold medal.

The old man’s pupils shrank slightly, and after a moment, as if he had lost all his strength, he nodded.

When Fang Xiu saw this, his expression suddenly became serious. He straightened

his face and said coldly: “Since we know each other, why don’t you salute?” When the old man heard this, he frowned tightly, gritted his teeth, and saluted to the gold medal. .

At this moment, he just felt hopeless.

No matter what, he never thought that such a precious gold medal would be in the hands of such a boy.

Suddenly, countless thoughts flashed through my mind.

Could it be that this matter was ordered by His Majesty?

If that were the case, nothing would matter.

As long as His Majesty takes action, the first-rank official, the Minister of Rites, and the head of the six departments will all disappear in an instant.

It’s just that

he doesn’t understand, why would His Majesty do this?

Could it be that there was some movement in Prince Ning’s Mansion and His Majesty noticed it?

Fang Xiu watched his expression change rapidly several times in a short period of time. He shook his head and said, “Stop thinking nonsense. Let Yang Ming come out and come with us. When we get to the Kyoto government office, everything will be clear to us!”

The old man said

Hearing this, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end nothing came out.

He just turned around and looked at the servant next to him and ordered: “Let him come over.”

After saying this, he seemed to have aged ten years again, and his whole person seemed to have lost all his strength.

If it wasn’t for the air that held him up, he would have collapsed to the ground immediately.

After a while, Yang Ming walked into the courtyard.

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, his eyes were fixed on Fang Xiu, and he clenched his left hand tightly.

From his eyes, you can clearly see the word ‘hatred’.

Fang Xiu was sure that

if his father hadn’t been here, this guy would have rushed over and bit his neck.

Fang Xiu could still understand Yang Ming’s performance.

After all, if he cuts off someone’s arm

because he is pretending to be generous, and seeing him is like seeing a good friend he hasn’t seen for many years, that would be scary.

But facing such a person who was obviously driven away by anger, it was not enough for Fang Xiu to take it to heart.

In fact, even if he is the former, it is meaningless.

As long as the crime of assassinating the princess is proven, the entire Yang family in the capital will disappear, not to mention the little Yang Ming.

“You traitor!”

As soon as the old man saw Yang Ming, an angry look appeared on his face and he said sternly: “Kneel down!”

Yang Ming obviously did not expect that his father would scold him like this in front of Fang Xiu and others.

He was startled for a moment, then showed resentment on his face, looked at the old man, and said stubbornly: “I’m not wrong, why should I kneel down!”
