Chapter 309 Joint Acting ([-]) One more

After hearing Erlong's introduction, Guo Zheng and Lin Zhidong hurriedly saluted the old monk, but Tang Lisheng stood there stiffly like a wooden man, lost in thought.

Ever since the old monk decided to return to the capital, rumors have spread in the capital. This is also the intention of the emperor. No matter who still has ulterior motives in his heart, the return of the old monk is the best recognition for the current emperor!

The old monk is the one with the highest seniority in the royal family. Although some awards will not be announced to the world until he arrives in the capital, his status has already been placed there.

Both Guo Zheng, Lin Zhidong, and Tang Lisheng knew that the old monk was with Prince Xiang and would return to Beijing after the flood. Who would have thought that they would see this old ancestor in Lishan County.

The old monk was naturally arranged to sit at the top, Guo Zheng and Lin Zhidong didn't even dare to sit down, Qin Wubing said whatever he wanted, so the two reluctantly sat down, but only sat on the edge of the chair.

Feng Ming, Erlong and little Mo Xiaosi were all standing at the door, Qin Wubing was definitely not willing to stand by himself, not crossing Erlong's legs was already showing respect to the old monk.

Tang Lisheng was the only one standing in the room, how embarrassing!
The old monk looked Tang Lisheng up and down and asked, "Who are you?"

Tang Lisheng came to his senses at this moment, knelt down and kowtowed, shouting: "Greetings to our ancestors!"

The old monk got up and kicked: "Who is your ancestor? Appoint a eunuch as a foster father. Does it have any face to be your ancestor?"

Tang Lisheng was kicked to the ground, looked at the old monk in fear, and was even more confused.

Qin Wubing hurriedly got up, first pulled the old monk back to the chair to finish, persuaded: "Seventh Uncle, don't be angry, he can't speak, I just asked him a lot of questions, he also hesitated for a long time, maybe he is not good at words."

After all, Qin Wubing didn't wait for the old monk to ask a question, turned around and helped Tang Lisheng up again, and persuaded him: "Be careful with what you say, and think about it for a while, who is my seventh uncle? !"

Tang Lisheng stood there trembling all over, he didn't listen to what Qin Wubing said, he just wanted to leave, the sooner the better.

But when he just clenched his fists and wanted to say that there was still something to do at home, the old monk spoke again:

"I heard that you ordered someone to kill your father-in-law a few days ago?"

Tang Lisheng didn't catch his breath, and just slumped down on the ground.

"I forgot about your lack of bones, I don't need to help you up!" Qin Wubing muttered, this time he didn't go to help you.

"I'm asking you something!" the old monk roared.

Tang Lisheng quickly got up and knelt down, and said in a trembling voice, "I'm wronged, I'm wronged!"

"Who wronged you?" the old monk leaned forward and asked.

"He!" Tang Lisheng pointed at Qin Wubing without thinking.

The old monk got up and kicked again without saying a word, and then scolded: "He didn't fart, you said it was him? Didn't what I said just now be human? Don't you understand?"

The old monk became more and more angry and kicked his feet twice. Then he gave up, sat back on the chair, and said, "Come on, let's start again! Your father-in-law was killed by you, right?"

Qin Wubing scratched his forehead, this is the imperial power, this is the class, the old monk kicked Tang Lisheng, just like Tang Lisheng kicked his own servant, no one can argue, of course, if Tang Lisheng is strong, unbearable humiliation, commit suicide If he dies, the old monk is afraid that he will bear some infamy, but it is only infamy.

But Tang Lisheng has no bones!Even if he has grown bones, he will not recognize Qi Xi as his father for his official career, and serve him closely for many years!Therefore, his position today was hard-won, how could he lose it so easily?

Tang Lisheng tremblingly knelt down again, before he could think of an answer, the old monk said again: "After thinking about it, I am so old, if I really hurt myself when I kicked you, your sin is not small, don't If you continue to be an official, I can let your whole family enter the palace... just like your adoptive father!"

Tang Lisheng almost lost his breath, his strength seemed to be taken away, and he collapsed limply on the ground.

"Erlong, pick him up!" The old monk shouted.

Erlong stepped forward to pick up Tang Lisheng, knelt down on the ground again, and the old monk leaned forward and asked, "Look at how scared you are, who would believe you if you didn't do it?"

Tang Lisheng hurriedly waved his hands, the old monk stood up again, Tang Lisheng blurted out: "Yes, yes!"

"What is it?" The old monk asked Tang Lisheng close to his face.

Tang Lisheng hesitated for a long time, his face turned red, but he didn't say a word.

"No illness, tell him why he killed Hu Qian! If you explain clearly, he will come into the palace with peace of mind."

"Seventh Uncle said it simply. For such a big matter as entering the palace, he still needs to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Besides, he even dared to kill his own father-in-law. I don't feel at ease with Seventh Uncle by his side."

"Bringing him into the palace is to save him. He can understand that it's too late to be grateful to me! How could he feel resentment towards me?"

"I don't understand Seventh Uncle's words."

"It's not easy. Hu Qian is a first-rank official, and he is a good backer. He will kill his father-in-law when he loses his mind. It's the same as wielding a knife from the palace! How could he be willing to do it himself?"

"I understand, there must be someone behind him!"

"That's right! He thought that after the death of a eunuch, he found a new backer, and he could get promoted and make a fortune by doing what they said. He didn't think that the eldest princess would be killed so easily? An abandoned son, still here Self-satisfied! What do you think I am here for? Can these stupid things escape the eyes of the emperor?"

Tang Lisheng's complexion was no longer what a human should have, it was as pale as paper!

Qin Wubing looked at him and shook his head repeatedly, saying:

"Just now, I thought Uncle Qi was joking, but now that I think about it, letting you enter the palace after being knocked out really saved your life, only Uncle Qi can protect you, otherwise, you wouldn't be able to live in the capital!"

Tang Lisheng already felt that it was difficult to breathe. He was gasping for breath with great effort, and the sweat kept dripping on the ground, but he couldn't turn his head. He just kept asking himself: 'What should I do?What should I do? '

Guo Zheng and Lin Zhidong were stunned for a long time. None of them would have thought that Qin Wubing and the emperor's seventh grandfather could act together in such a play.
