Marshal, your vest is off

Chapter 20 It turns out to be a defense
Qi Diaolie and his group are just like bandits, and they dare to cause trouble.

The last time he was in the court, he didn't know about the affairs of the household department. When he found out, he realized how dangerous he was in the court.

Bai Xiuyuan looked at him in a panic and couldn't choose what to say with cold eyes. It's really hard to imagine how this person became Minister of the Ministry of Punishment?
"Have you thought about what to do about the Cheng family?"

"This, this..." Master Li was speechless, with a troubled expression on his face.

"My lord, you boasted at the beginning, saying that you would definitely help the Cheng family get back the subsidy, but now you haven't seen a single copper penny." Bai Xiuyuan said aggressively.

Mr. Li's fat face turned red, as if he had been slapped several times.

He had never imagined that this case would be so complicated and even involve a killer.

Reminiscing that when he returned home two days ago, he still complained about killing chickens with a sledgehammer, and asking the Ministry of Criminal Justice to investigate this kind of matter is simply useless.

He wished he could crawl into the ground.

Mr. Li quickly wiped his sweat and said: "Mr. Bai, this is all Xiaguan's fault. I shouldn't have said those words in the first place. Please forgive me, Mr. Bai. I, I don't dare to praise Haikou anymore. Please help Mr. Bai."

Although Bai Xiuyuan is a commoner, he still has the Fourth Prince standing behind him. If he can help, he will have many more helpers and he will not be alone.

In the end, whether or not he can keep his black gauze hat depends entirely on Bai Xiuyuan.

"This is strange. I came here to ask for justice. Why did you ask me for help? I remember that you don't want help." Bai Xiuyuan said in a cool tone.

Mr. Li heard that he was fair on the left and right on the right. It seems that it is impossible not to give an explanation today.

"Okay, tell me what you want me to do."

Bai Xiuyuan looked at him and sneered, "Sir, what do I want from you? I'm just a commoner. If I want justice from you, I must give it to you." It doesn’t matter, but if you humiliate Marshal Cheng, don’t say whether the Emperor, Prince and General will agree, I, Bai, will be the first one not to agree.”

Mr. Li understood what he meant now, a trace of struggle flashed across his greasy face, he quickly settled down, and said through gritted teeth: "In this case, then I will go to Marshal Cheng's spirit and kneel and kowtow in person Apologize, to atone for previous mistakes."

"Very well, let's go." Bai Xiuyuan turned around and said.

"What? You want me to go now?!" Master Li asked in disbelief.

Bai Xiuyuan turned his head, glanced at him coldly, and said, "Do you have any objections, sir?"

"No, no."

"If you don't, let's go."

Master Li breathed a sigh of relief. At that moment, he felt as if he was in an ice cellar.

Following Bai Xiuyuan to the Cheng family, Mr. Li, who was still wearing official robes, was let in without any hindrance.

With so many Imperial Guards guarding here, Mr. Li's heart grew more and more regretful.

If he hadn't taken advantage of the situation, there wouldn't be so many things happening now.

Today is Cheng Yue's last day of mourning, and everyone is here.

Seeing Mr. Li come in, Qi Diaolie and others were about to have a fit, but were stopped by Bai Xiuyuan's look.

Mr. Li was so frightened that his legs almost gave out. When he saw them being stopped by Bai Xiuyuan, his heart was in his throat and he immediately relaxed.

Cheng Qing looked at the Minister of Punishment at a loss and sighed slightly.

Master Li first bowed to Zhao Wuyuan and Master Cheng.

Cheng Qing and Cheng Yuehou saluted Mr. Li.

Zhao Wuyuan showed the prince's majesty to Mr. Li and said: "Since you are here, just do what you have to do." "Yes, yes."

Mr. Li regretted once again. He just took the case directly. Why did he have to talk so much nonsense?
In front of everyone, all face was gone.

Master Li gritted his teeth and was about to kneel on the futon when a clear female voice suddenly stopped him.

"Master Li."

Everyone who was feeling refreshed looked at the source of the sound with dissatisfaction. When they saw it was Cheng Qing, they were all stunned.

Cheng Qing walked over and blessed Master Li.

Master Li looked at her with complicated eyes. Everyone was dissatisfied with him because of what happened before and wanted to punish him. But as the biological sister of Marshal Cheng Yue, why did she stop him from kneeling down to atone for his sins?
Cheng Qing looked at the imperial edict in his hand and asked, "Master Li, can you let Cheng Qing take a look at the imperial edict in your hand?"

Master Li was a little hesitant, but he still gave it to her. It didn't matter if he took a look at the imperial edict.

"Thank you sir."

After receiving the imperial decree, Cheng Qing rolled it out to take a look, and surprise appeared on his face immediately.

"The Emperor actually gives you one month to solve the case?"

Master Li smiled bitterly and nodded, saying: "Miss Cheng, I really know that I was wrong. I will do my best to investigate the subsidy case. It was my fault in the court, and I have already regretted it." .”

Cheng Qing's black eyes turned slightly, and he said to Zhao Wuyuan: "Fourth Prince, since Mr. Li has realized his mistake, I think kneeling will save you."

Hearing this, Bai Xiuyuan was the first to frown. When did she learn to be soft-hearted?

Master Li was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Cheng Qing say again: "Just bow and apologize to the generals whom he despised before."

Master Li: "..."

Bai Xiuyuan raised his brows, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and there was a smile in his peach blossom eyes.

That's right, she was more interested in protecting her shortcomings than not suffering any losses.

Hearing this, Zhao Wuyuan looked at Cheng Qing with admiration. He nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Li, just do what Miss Cheng said."

"Yes, yes." The four princes have already spoken, how dare Mr. Li disobey?

Walking in front of the generals, Mr. Li bowed deeply and said sincerely: "Generals, it was the fault of my subordinates before, I can't help it."

All the anger they had felt before was vented at this moment, and Qi Diaolie and others finally felt comfortable both physically and mentally.

Qi Diaolie patted Mr. Li on the shoulder, his hand was so strong that he almost knocked the person to the ground. His tone was much better, and he said: "Isn't it right to have done this a long time ago? Since Mr. Li has apologized, then we will all Accepted. Now you won’t want us to get involved in this case?”

Mr. Li wiped his sweat and said: "This matter still depends on you, how can I dare to hinder you? If the general has nothing to do, I will go back to sort out this case and wait for the generals to arrive."

"Go."

"Farewell, goodbye."

Watching Mr. Li go out, Cheng Qing glanced at Bai Xiuyuan, wanting to ask him to follow him.

Bai Xiuyuan received the sight and silently retreated.

Fortunately, this guy is still so smart... Wait, how could he understand what she meant so quickly?
Cheng Qing's hands and feet suddenly became cold. Could she have been exposed?

With shock in his heart, he looked at the figure that was leaving like a thunderbolt.

　Thank you everyone for voting, I love you and good night~
