Chapter 71
"My lord, I came here today to plead guilty." Seeing Ji Gongdan sitting down, the Southwest Hou slid off the chair and fell to his knees:
"I heard people say that my bastard committed a major crime in Chang'an County. He pushed up the Longmen embankment and flooded the people of the seven counties. I have no way to teach my son, so I came here to plead guilty."

"But this is just such a son. I hope that the king will take all the blame for the sake of my face and put all the blame on my body. I hope that my son will pay his debts to my father. I will use my old minister's life to quell the anger of the court. I have no way to teach my son. It's all because I didn't educate well, and all the blame is on the minister, and the old minister should be punished if he wants to be punished."

"The old minister's life was cut off. That child is a filial man. He has been running around for 80 years. All the tired old ministers have seen it in his eyes and hurt his heart. The fault is not caused by the old minister. His life is about to run out. How could he Made a big mistake?" The voice of the Southwest Hou was sincere, and he kowtowed to the ground, praying continuously:
"He is a good boy! I also asked the young master to release Guan Shan. The old minister is willing to bear all the crimes, even if he cut him to pieces."

Hearing this, Ji Gongdan remained silent for a long time, and then looked at the silent Princess Nanxi who looked like a sculpture: "This is Princess Nanxi, the daughter of today's son, who came to investigate the affairs of Guanlongmendi by the order of the emperor. , Panyang Lake and other major cases."

"The old minister pays homage to the princess, and asks the princess to see that the old minister has guarded the southwest for the court for 80 years, and asks me to take the blame for that evil person, spare my son's life, and save my direct lineage of the Southwest Marquis. The old minister Please!" Southwest Hou's forehead touched the ground, blood spattered, and he fell directly at Princess Nanxi's feet.

"Old Hou Ye, please get up quickly, don't do this!" Princess Nanxi hurriedly stepped forward to support the Southwest Hou.

"If you don't agree, the old minister won't get up." Southwest Hou's voice was full of solemnity and stirring.

"This..." Princess Nanxi's scalp tingled when she heard the words, and her eyes turned to Ji Gongdan.

Facing Princess Nanxi's gaze, Ji Gongdan pondered for a while and said, "Guan Zhen can still be trusted."

He was implying that the loss of Zhenlongshi had nothing to do with the young master.

Young Lord Hou wants to steal the Dragon Town Stone, so it is impossible to dig up the Longmen Embankment himself.

"It's actually not difficult to release the young master, or even eliminate the guilt of the young master. As long as the prince pays the compensation in place, and then puts the crime on Wang Gaoqiu, everything will be easy to say, you can Shut everyone's mouths. There is only one person who is afraid that he will not let go, and if I report it to the king of men, even if I want to cover it up, I'm afraid I won't be able to cover it up."

"I know." Southwest Marquis raised his head, "The person the princess is talking about is Huo Taixian, the son of Huo Jia, the official servant."

"Leave this person to me, the old man will definitely tell him to let go."

"If you can tell Huo Taixian to let go, this matter can be calmed down easily." Princess Nanxi nodded.

"The old minister wants to have a banquet for the officials of Chang'an County at Longmendi, so as to calm down all the troubles of Longmendi. I wonder if the princess and His Highness will honor it?" Southwest Hou looked at Ji Gongdan and Princess Nanxi.

Princess Nanxi shook her head when she heard the words: "It's not suitable for me to come forward, Master Hou will take care of it himself."

Ji Gongdan over there shook his head: "I have just made a breakthrough in my cultivation, and I have gone through a series of battles, and I am about to retreat to stabilize my realm. You can come to me after you have settled this matter."

"Farewell, my lord." The Southwest Marquis was overjoyed when he heard the words.

"Come here, take the young master out of the prison and hand it over to the Southwest Marquis to take him back for good discipline." Princess Nanxi ordered.

"Thank you, princess." The Southwest Marquis thanked repeatedly.

Looking at the back of Southwest Hou walking out, Princess Nanxi sighed quietly: "Why didn't Uncle Wang go?"

"I understand Huo Taixian's temperament. He is a master of softness and toughness. In order to embark on the road of painter, he even gave up his title. How can such a temper give in? In order to force Huo Taixian, the Southwest Hou will definitely use both soft and hard tactics at that time. , who do you think I should help?" Ji Gongdan smiled wryly:

"Why don't you go?"

"Young Master can't die! So Huo Taixian has to give in. If the Southwest Marquis threatens the lives of those [-] fishermen, uncle will say whether I should do it or not?" Princess Nanxi smiled wryly.

"I heard that the Southwest Marquis has locked up all the fishermen." Princess Nanxi sighed.

"Have you heard the news?" Ji Gongdan looked at Princess Nanxi in surprise.

"I have the rubbings of the map of Jiangshan Sheji, what is there in the world that can be hidden from my eyes and ears?" Princess Nanxi sighed.

"I don't know how Huo Taixian will choose?" Ji Gongdan looked worried.

"The Southwest Hou is anxious, maybe he will kill him." Princess Nanxi said.

"No!" Ji Gongdan shook his head: "If Huo Taixian is killed, even the Southwest Marquis will not be able to cover this cover. He is a smart man! He must know that I will never allow Huo Taixian dead."

Chang'an City

Song's yard

After sending Wen Quan away, Huo Taixian sat on the stool, silently feeling the circulation of the five thunder scrolls in his body, comprehending the artistic conception of Lei Ting, and constantly increasing his own heritage.

He was pondering the sentence that Wen Quan had inadvertently said earlier: "Wang Gaoqiu has something to do with Da Nei?"

"Wang Gaoqiu! Da Nei!" Huo Taixian thought in his mind,

"Life!" Huo Taixian sighed quietly

Huo Taixian was still feeling emotional, when suddenly he heard the sound of hurried footsteps, Zhang San and Li Si came together, looked at Bai Ling in the house through the gate, and Huo Taixian who was sitting in the yard thinking and thinking, all of them looked serious :
"grown ups!"

Zhang San and Li Si stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

"Why are you here?" Huo Taixian looked at the two of them.

"Southwest Houguan Town is here." Li Si's voice became serious.

Huo Taixian looked serious when he heard the words, and Zhang Sandao said: "Guan Town wants peace, and we have obtained the acquiescence of our master and Princess Nanxi. They set up camp on the Longmen embankment and said that they would invite all the bureaucrats and dignitaries in Chang'an to come tonight. Go to the banquet."

"This is an invitation card for you." Zhang San said, and put the invitation card on the ground.

Huo Taixian sat in the room, looked at the invitation card in his hand, frowned in thought, and said after a long time:
"There is no good wine in wine, and there is no good banquet in banquets. I am afraid that those who come are not good and those who come will not come."

"Our brothers are old and young, and we cannot bear the power of the Southwest Marquis. My lord, you...or forget it, an egg cannot touch a rock."

Li Sidao: "Master asked us to send you a post from the Southwest Marquis. The Master means that he wants you to go and explain clearly in person. He will personally mediate the conflict between the Southwest Marquis and you."

"I'm not going! There's nothing to reconcile, as long as I insist on not letting go, can they still turn black and white?" Huo Taixian tore off the post casually, and it was still on the table.

"You have to go." Li Si looked at Huo Taixian: "If you don't go, those [-] fishermen will not survive. The people who saw the young master digging the dam will not survive."

"He dares! This is Chang'an City, where the three counties of the Son of Heaven are located! Does the county magistrate allow him to mess around?" Huo Taixian's pupils shrank, and he was furious when he heard this.

"Hey, what is more important than the death of 10 people or the chaos of the world and the death of hundreds of millions of people?" Zhang San looked at Huo Taixian.

Huo Taixian was silent when he heard the words, and took a deep breath after a long time: "Alright, I'd like to see what kind of moth the Southwest Hou is playing."
