Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 182 A way out

Cao Lang immediately interrupted him and asked coldly: "Master Fang, let's ask you, hundreds of people died unexpectedly, and you still say it's a trivial matter? At the feet of the emperor, in the most virtuous area, if something like this happened, can you really do it?

Can you afford it?”

When Fang Maochun came, he only heard that it was Xie Xi who had summoned him. The person who summoned him didn't say what the matter was. He thought that Xie Xi, the ridiculous prince, was suffering here and was waiting for him to rescue him, so he deliberately staged it.

After Cao Lang said that he suddenly woke up, turned around to look, and noticed the dead bodies scattered in the medicine field, as well as the disgusting stench.

Cold sweat suddenly broke out on Fang Maochun's forehead. If this was a murder case involving hundreds of people, let alone a small Jingzhao governor, he would not be able to take the responsibility even if he went to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple.

Shili Town is also the territory of Jingzhao Mansion. If such a murder case occurs, the charge of incompetent jurisdiction will be confirmed.

In normal times, there would still be room for cover, but now that Dongchang has intervened, he has to concentrate on dealing with it.

When he was panicking and wanted to explain to Cao Lang, Xie Xi came over from the side and said sternly: "Master Fang, you are really a big deal! I reported the case to you, but you delayed it until now.

Come on, is it possible that I, the king, do not have enough status to move this great Buddha of yours?"

Fang Maochun immediately remembered that Xie Xi was present here. He only talked to Cao Lang and ignored the prince of the dynasty. That was a big sin. His legs became weak immediately, his hands shook wildly, and he said: "On the way to Xiaguan

I was delayed because of something, so I arrived a little late. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

As he spoke, he fell to his knees with a plop, kowtowed to Xie Xi repeatedly and begged for mercy.

Xie Xi changed his usual playful smile and said with a stern tone: "This capital has become a bandit den! Look here, in broad daylight, hundreds of lives are lost. Fortunately, nothing happened to me. If something happened, the Nine Clans would punish you."

It’s not enough to pay for your life!”

She pointed at Old Man Wang, who had been kneeling on the ground for a long time, and said with a smile: "This old man has lost his son and is helpless in this ten-mile town. I see how pitiful he is, so I want to take him back to the capital. It happens to be my home."

We are short of some servants who can help him, so let’s find him a place to stay.”

Fang Maochun secretly cursed "eunuch" in his heart, and gritted his teeth and said: "Your Highness Tianhuang, how can I trouble Your Highness with such mundane matters? I have little knowledge and may delay the time of solving the case. Please ask Mr. Cao to take charge of the overall situation.

Never refuse.”

Fang Maochun smiled at Cao Lang and said: "Little Eunuch Cao, something like this happened on the ground of Jingzhao Mansion. It is my duty as a subordinate. However, when I arrive here, I will act as my leader."

Xie Xi snorted coldly, but did not answer Cao Lang. He said coldly: "Fang Maochun, I have written it down!"

When the matter reached this point, Fang Maochun made up his mind instantly. Xie Xi was just an idle vassal king and had nothing to do with his own future. He didn't need to pay too much attention to it.

After Xie Xi finished speaking, he glanced at Lin Zisu, with unclear meaning in his eyes, and said loudly: "Commander Wu, close the camp and return to Beijing!"

He scolded Xie Xi in his heart, but he had to admit that what happened here in Shili Town was really appalling. Fortunately, he rushed over today and asked the court when he came back.

Too passive.

Fang Maochun also knew that he was a disciple of Lu Zhiyuan, the Minister of Household Affairs, and that Cao Lang was the godson of Cao Gonggong, the Supervisor of Rites.

Xie Xi immediately nuzzled at Lin Zisu. Lin Zisu didn't expect that Xie Xi could understand what he meant.

A proud smile appeared on the corner of Cao Lang's mouth, he leaned over and said to Xie Xi: "Dongchang is handling the case, please take your people to avoid it."

Even if he wanted to blackmail himself, he should find a place where no one was around. This would be too bold for Xie Xi!

Fang Maochun raised his head and glanced at Cao Lang, trying to see some clues from his expression.

After hearing Lin Zisu's words, Cao Lang's indifferent face suddenly broke into a smile. There was a little alienation in his narrow eyes, but also a little coldness.

Cao Lang glanced sideways at Xie Xi and said with a smile: "Master Fang, what you said is wrong. We are just slaves. We usually serve His Majesty, but we are not good at investigating and solving crimes."

.His Royal Highness Prince Dun is here, you should talk to him, or you should write a report and submit it to the Ministry of Punishments?"

Xie Xi has never had any contact with the Six Ministers and Nine Ministers. Even if he were asked to investigate, no one would pay attention to him. The Ministry of Punishments is still in a mess now that there is a lack of officials. What Cao Lang said is nothing more than trying to squeeze Fang Maochun to express his position.

Fang Maochun felt that he was extremely unlucky. He must have forgotten to burn incense when he went out today. Not only did he offend Xie Xi, he also met the evil star Cao Lang.

Xie Xi suddenly lowered his voice and said: "If something like this happens in your jurisdiction of Jingzhao Mansion, what do you think we should do?"

Cao Lang had a narrow smile in his eyes, which made Fang Maochun even more panicked.

Fang Maochun didn't understand why. Did he want to be filial to Xie Xi?

But Cao Lang was by his side, and every move here would definitely be reported to the emperor in the blink of an eye.

"Master Fang said so, so our family has no choice but to take it seriously and refuse to allow it."

The most important thing is not to mess with the evil star Cao Lang.

On weekdays, the cabinet is in tit-for-tat with the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and since he belongs to Lu Shangshu's party, Cao Lang naturally wants to seize this opportunity to exploit the situation.

Xie Xi then said to Cao Lang: "Cao Lang, for the sake of my father's sake, my king will not care about you today. The crime of disrespect will be left to you. However... I have a request."

A short and fat leader of the Forbidden Army heard Xie Xi's cry and immediately ordered the Forbidden Army who were still busy in the medicine field to organize their troops immediately.

Xie Xi's words were confusing and rude. Fang Maochun was frightened and said with an earthy face: "I have neglected my duty! I have neglected my duty! Your Highness, please show your noble hand and give up your official position to find a way out!"

"It's not that I let you live, it's that you leave a way for yourself!"

Cao Lang leaned forward and asked, "If your highness has any orders, just tell me and I will definitely obey them."

"It's easy to talk, even if His Highness doesn't say anything, our family will let you take the person away for the sake of the Conning family."

The sound was neither fast nor slow, but it made people's scalp numb when they heard it, especially next to the pile of dead people. It was mixed with a hint of cold wind, as if it was coming from underground.

Fang Maochun did not dare to say much, but lowered his head and respectfully sent Xie Xi off.

Hearing the sound of carriages and horses going away, Fang Maochun couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly he heard Cao Lang's cold voice saying: "Black Bat, go to the town and find out who the old man they took away is."

origin."
