Pretending to be jealous in the arms of Dali Temple

Chapter 28
Half an hour later, Miao Hong returned to Tongshan Mansion, but Su Jizhi was not in the room.

He wanted Su Jizhi to fulfill his promise to drink, and only then did he know that Su Jizhi immediately went to Beijing to report the case to the emperor.

Royal study.

After listening to Su Jizhi's report, Emperor Daqi Xiao Zongrui's face was ashen.

"It's really the prince who lied! I feel that what happened back then is strange."

The 45-year-old man was dressed in a yellow robe, with sharp eyes and irrepressible anger.

"The reason why I reduced the strength of the Weiyuan Army is because the military discipline was loose, and the prince had no responsibility for the battle at Shimen Bridge."

Su Jizhi lowered his eyes halfway, and walked on the horse for half an hour, Su Jizhi felt hot all over his body.

The emperor was angry, and the cloud turned into sunshine: "Su Aiqing, after all, you are the person I am most proud of, and you helped me again this time."

"This is the matter of the minister, and I will do my best."

"You still remember hating me?"

"Don't dare, the subject is the subject, the emperor is the sky, how can the subject remember to hate the sky?"

Xiao Zongrui couldn't understand Su Jizhi.

I haven't seen him for two months, Su Jizhi has grown dark and thin, his brows are furrowed, and his whole body exudes hostility.

"I still reserve the position of Minister of Dali Temple for you. Come back from Tongshan Mansion."

Xiao Zongrui lowered his head, he was compromising with Su Jizhi, "Just pretend it never happened when you proposed to abolish the Zhu Jiu Clan."

Su Jizhi raised his head, his eyes were blurry: "Your Majesty, when I was demoted to Tongshan Mansion, it was because I had different political views from the Emperor, and now I still have the same idea."

When Su Jizhi thought of Wanyan, his heart ached.

If it wasn't for the emperor's casual words, Wan Yan would have lived an innocent life.

What kills the Nine Clans?

Painter Xue dripped a drop of ink by mistake, what does it have to do with Wan Yan?
Xiao Zongrui was taken aback, "Su Jizhi, you are bold, relying on me to appreciate you, do you think I dare not punish you?"

Xiao Zongrui still wanted to scare Su Jizhi, when he thought that he had been demoted to Tongshan Mansion, he slapped the table angrily: "You... are bold!"

The emperor really didn't want to let him go far.

Picking up the teacup on the table and putting it into his mouth, Xiao Zongrui was so angry that he threw the teacup on the ground and got angry at the eunuch: "What kind of shit, you want to scald me to death?"

The eunuch was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe out, he stepped forward obediently, picked up the teacup and ran out.

When passing by Su Jizhi's side, he still winked his eyes, thinking to Master Su, let the emperor save face.

Isn't it better to go back to the capital than to stay in Tongshan Mansion?

Su Jizhi didn't say anything, he was like this, even if he was exiled, he still advocated the abolition of Zhujiu Clan.

Xiao Zongrui stared at Su Jizhi for a long time, as if he wanted to cut him off with his eyes.

But Su Jizhi lowered his head, completely unmoved, and ignored him at all.

Xiao Zongrui softened: "Tell me, what should I do so that you can come back?"

Su Jizhi raised his head, even if the emperor said so much, he still didn't want to back down.

He said slowly: "Your majesty, I know that your majesty prefers to be the Minister of Dali Temple. Dali Temple is in charge of hearing criminal cases. If you are arrogant and cautious in your words and deeds in front of the emperor, I am afraid that personal factors will be involved in the trial process. May I ask the emperor, how can there be any fairness to the dead?"

"I didn't let you know that you broke the law, but I didn't agree with your proposal. How could I be wrong? You contradicted me in front of all the ministers in the court, where do you let me put my face?"

Su Jizhi wanted to say that this was not a matter of face, but a matter of nature.

What did Wanyan do wrong again?
Because of Xue An's fault, she became an official prostitute because of Xue An's fault?
At this moment, Su Jizhi feels more and more that the punishment of punishing the Jiuzu must be abolished.

"Your Majesty, it will be more than a year before I was demoted to Tongshan Mansion. I would like to respect the emperor's will. The most important thing at the moment is not where I am, but the batch of gold and silver treasures captured by Liang Jun. The emperor must deal with them as soon as possible."

"The crown prince is acting recklessly, Su Aiqing, look, my own son treats me like this, who do you think I can trust?"

Su Jizhi's eyes were heavy and he didn't speak.

Xiao Zongrui sat down on the chair wearily, and softened his tone: "If you don't come back, I will reserve the position of Minister of Dali Temple for you. When you figure it out, when will you come back."

Su Jizhi said quietly and coldly, "Whether or not I will come back depends entirely on the emperor."

Xiao Zongrui's eyes widened. He even had a moment of impulsiveness. It is not impossible to abolish the Zhu Jiu Clan, but now he agrees, it is so embarrassing. How will he face the ministers in the future?
"no!"

"The minister will not return!"

"What else? What else do you want? This time you have made great achievements in solving the case, and I will fully satisfy you."

Su Jizhi raised the corner of his mouth, he knew the emperor too well.

If Su Jizhi made the request now, the emperor must think that Su Jizhi has selfish intentions.

He would definitely use this as an exchange to let Su Jizhi return to Dali Temple.

But this is also the only chance to change Wanyan's fate.

Su Ji took a step forward: "I want a girl from the Jiaofang Division."

"Oh?" Xiao Zongrui's eyes lit up.

It turns out that Su Jizhi also has weaknesses.

"I agree, you also promise me to return to Dali Temple, and admit that you have committed crimes in the early court, and I will not blame the past."

Su Jizhi sighed from the bottom of his heart, he did not misread the emperor at all.

Seeing that Su Jizhi raised his face again, Xiao Zongrui simply acted like a rascal.

"Su Jizhi, I will definitely know who the girl you want. In this case, I will tell you, either you go back to Dali Temple, or you redeem her with 1 taels of silver, otherwise, don't even think about it."

Su Jizhi's heart sank into the abyss.

Before noon.

Su Jizhi sat coldly on the porch, waiting for the imperial guards to deliver the horse.

The summer heat had worn him down.

There is even 1 taels of silver in his heart.

From a distance, he saw the commanders of the Imperial Guard hurriedly walking into the military plane.

Presumably the emperor has ordered the imperial guards to leave immediately.

Those things in Wuliang Mountain have long kept the emperor awake at night.

Su Jizhi looked at the setting sun that was about to set, feeling indescribably depressed in his heart.

He was wrong!
Just now he shouldn't have asked to redeem Wanyan's body.

The heart is full of rage.

Su Jizhi had never been so disappointed in himself.

Not only because of Wanyan, but also because of the case.

He had already given the emperor the map of Wuliang Mountain, and the case of Shimen Bridge that he had been thinking about had also been settled.

But what about the middle?

The head of the driving department was sentenced to death for the unwarranted crime of defeat.

Li Dai took the charge of unfavorable guards and was dealt with by military law.

Zhang Guan was murdered because he knew the inside story, so he was lucky to save his life.

There is also the sergeant of the Weiyuan Army who died innocently and transported treasures to Wuliang Mountain.

How many people have given their lives because of rights, because of gold and silver.

What about Wei Zhengwu?

Can you think of it?

He finally took all the blame for the prince.

Because the prince has the support of the queen's mother family, the emperor doesn't want to declare war now. He already knows the truth, so he only has to figure it out slowly.

As for the case, the emperor informed Su Jizhi: Wei Zhengwu was stabbed to death by a flower guest because of jealousy, and Zhang Guan and Tang Hongqiu were beheaded.

The emperor doesn't care about the truth, what he wants is the batch of gold and silver treasures hidden by the crown prince.

Su Jizhi led the horse and walked up Fumen Avenue.

This is the most prosperous section of the street in Beijing.

Crossing the second alley of Fumen Street is the Dali Temple where Su Jizhi once worked.

Su Jizhi stopped in his tracks.

He saw the mottled warning mottos on the outer wall of Dali Temple.

Su Jizhi clearly remembered that the court painter named Xue An had been painting for a long time.

Unexpectedly, he was Wan Yan's father.

Before Su Jizhi's eyes, there was a picture of the old man hunched over, holding the drawing board, going up and down the wooden ladder.

The sun is gradually setting in the west, and the air is filled with the human smoke of cooking.

The sweet smell of sweet-scented osmanthus cake floats from afar.

Wan Yan said that the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in Tongshan government office is not good.

Su Jizhi turned her head away, tried to smell the scent, and looked for a stall selling osmanthus cake.

When a piece of soft and sweet osmanthus cake was put into Su Ji's hand, he thought of the scene of Wan Yan staring at the osmanthus cake with an intoxicated face that morning.

The young girl is impressive and always tugs at his heartstrings.

But 1 taels, what should he do?
