Rebirth of the Splendid Phoenix

Chapter 51
"I see who dares to do it!"

Xie Jinhua stood in front of Qin Zheng with cold eyes, making people afraid to look directly at him for a moment.

"Hua'er, it's not your turn to make decisions in this family, so hurry up and tie him up!"

Xie Jinhua suddenly picked up the brocade box on the table, gently opened it with bare hands, and there were piles of hairpins and rings inside, shining brightly, and the girl's face reflected like a full moon Usually exudes a beautiful moonlight: "This is an object bestowed by His Majesty, whoever is not afraid of being bumped into it and fell, then just come up, it is only a crime of damaging the imperial bestowed object, how to punish it? Let me think about it, yes How about decapitation? Or distribution, or execution of the nine clans"

With Xie Jinyao's words, none of the servants behind Huang and Xie Jinyao dared to move.

The experience of working in the Shangshu Mansion is not bad, so he is naturally more aware of how frightening the crime is if he damages the imperial gifts.

Speaking of Dali, even if you are disrespectful to His Majesty, even if you don't punish the nine clans, you will still be beheaded. No one does not cherish their lives.

"What are you all doing in a daze, even if the imperial gift is really destroyed, it's the second sister who broke it herself, and it has nothing to do with you, why don't you go up and get someone!"

Xie Jinyao looked at the jewels in Xie Jinhua's hands, her eyes almost popped out.

Why did she get reprimanded, and what Xie Jinhua got was a generous reward.

Today she must make Xie Jin's painting look good.

Xie Jinyao yelled loudly, but no one dared to move forward. She took two steps by herself, but no one around followed her, and she stopped in embarrassment for a moment.

If the imperial gift is really destroyed, if Xie Jinhua really beats him up, she won't be able to keep the servant who did it, even if it is her, it will not be good.

Xie Jinyao still remembered the cold and disgusted eyes that the emperor gave her at Princess Yong'an's place.

So just now she just pretended to move forward, planning to make the servant bear the crime of destroying the imperial gift.

"Mother, look at these damned slaves, what use are they for!"

The scene froze for a while, Huang Shi and Xie Jinyao came aggressively, but none of the servants behind them dared to move, the muscles on Huang's cheeks twitched, and he glanced at the servants behind him: "What's the matter? She has lost her mind because of a slave, if she accidentally damages something that His Majesty bestowed, it would be a great sin."

So what if it is really damaged?Huang has a way to make everyone in the room push all the mistakes on Xie Jinhua's head with one voice.

Cheng Momo behind took a look at Huang's cold and stern face, heard the subtext in her words, hesitated for a while, and beckoned a few strong women to walk towards Xie Jinhua: "Second miss, don't you To embarrass the old slaves, even if the imperial gift is destroyed, it depends on whether it can be passed on."

Xie Jinyao at the side rolled his eyes when he heard what he said, and the anger disappeared from his face.

"Second sister, if you have no personal relationship with this kid, how could you protect him like this for no reason? For the sake of the Xie family's face, it's better to let the mother deal with him. In that case, the reputation of the elder sister can be preserved. Don't force it. They are rough on my sister."

Xie Jinyao said sarcastic remarks on the side.

It's not like saying how much she hates Qin Zheng.

But who asked Xie Jinhua to protect Qin Zheng?
Who made Qin Zheng give her such a shame when he went out yesterday?

It must have been instructed by Xie Jinhua.

Xie Jinyao made a plan for today, even if Xie Jinhua is not allowed to get skinned, she must suffer a lot.

"What's my reputation?"

Listening to Xie Jinyao's sarcastic remarks, Xie Jinhua did not get angry as Xie Jinyao imagined, but calmed down the expression on her face, and even drew a little smile on the corner of her lips, and walked slowly towards Xie Jinyao: "My dear sister, please speak clearly. .”

Xie Jinyao suddenly felt a little frightened. Xie Jinhua's attitude made her even more frightened, and she couldn't help but take two steps back. She didn't forget that Xie Jinhua was the one who could kill wolves among wolves: "You What are you doing? I'm not talking empty words, let me tell you, you have an affair with that slave, and I have evidence!"

As he spoke, Xie Jinyao took out a long wooden box from his sleeve and held it up in the air: "I found this in that slave's room, do you want to know what's inside?"

"That'smine!"

The voice pressed from between his teeth, Qin Zheng, who has been standing behind Xie Jinhua calmly since just now, saw the wooden box in Xie Jinyao's hand, his complexion changed drastically, his eyes became ruthless, and his body moved, already Like a flash of lightning, it came to Xie Jinyao's side, and the five fingers of one hand were clawed towards the wooden box in Xie Jinyao's hand.

With one hand, he secretly hit the big acupuncture point on Xie Jinyao's body.

"A Zheng!"

Xie Jinhua screamed out in surprise, trying to stop Qin Zheng's impulse, but there was nothing to stop him.

Xie Jinyao and even everyone present could not have imagined that the young man who was guarded by Xie Jinhua had such skills. Not only was he a weakness that could be dealt with by them, but he was also a beast with fangs. Seeing Xie Jinyao's face was full of panic color.

The moment the wooden box in the palm was about to change hands, a figure in Tsing Yi suddenly appeared beside the two of them.

The opponent swiped the folding fan away with one hand, blocking Qin Zheng's hand that was secretly pointing at Xie Jinyao's acupuncture point, and held Qin Zheng's hand that was grabbing the wooden box with the other.

"It's a terrible thing to be so vicious at a young age."

The scholar in Tsing Yi was obviously smiling, but there was no smile in his eyes.

Qin Zheng pointed secretly just now, if it is true, Xie Jinyao will be completely paralyzed within a few days.

This kind of method is more ruthless than killing people.

The bones of Qin Zheng's wrist held by the scribes creaked. It was the sound of the bones being squeezed by gravity. If this force continued, the bones in the boy's wrist would completely shatter.

Cold sweat broke out on Qin Zheng's forehead, facing the sudden arrival of a middle-aged scribe, he sneered, "What does it have to do with you!"

With a flip of the wrist, the wrist that was obviously held tight came out of the middle-aged scribe's hand like a boneless one, and he slammed his palm hard at the opponent's heart veins.

"Huh." With a sound, the middle-aged scribe was also surprised by Qin Zheng's movement, but his body moved back three feet flatly, just missing Qin Zheng's menacing palm.

Seeing that the moves are old, Qin Zheng's move will be useless.

He made a wrong step, his wrist trembled slightly, and another round of energy was completed in an instant, and the second palm, which was more terrifying than the previous palm, fell towards the heart of the young scribe.

The scribe in Tsing Yi made another wrong step, Qin Zheng's palm flashed by the slightest, but in the next moment, his face changed: "What a vicious boy."

A silver needle on the chest was enough to pierce the clothes and penetrate the skin, and the body was already numb.

Qin Zheng's killing move has always been this silver needle held between his fingers, with a highly poisonous silver needle.

Qin Zheng didn't take the words of the scribe in Tsing Yi at all, and took advantage of his illness to kill him. In his eyes, since fighting is a battle of life and death, there is no moral justice at all. The opponent attacked from the bottom. This middle-aged literati has extremely high martial arts skills. If he was older and could deal with it with confidence, now, in just one or two strokes, he would know that he is not the opponent's opponent.

Although he didn't mind killing people, he wouldn't kill people for no reason, but he didn't ignore the kind, caring and worried eyes that the other party looked at Xie Jinyao when he just appeared.

Xie Jinyao is Xie Jinhua's enemy, and having a person with extraordinary martial arts around Xie Jinyao is the biggest threat to Xie Jinhua.

A few tricks of rabbit ups and downs, Qin Zheng's methods, ruthlessness, agility towards the enemy, and tolerance for pain are all reflected. If he saw it in the past, the Tsing Yi scholar might appreciate him even more, but it is because of this When, at this moment, encounter.

If such an existence harbors malice towards Xie Jinyao, Xie Jinyao is not an opponent at all.

The scribe in Tsing Yi and Qin Zheng had similar emotions at that moment. He sealed the veins in his heart with one hand to prevent the poison from spreading, and with the folding fan in one hand, he blocked Qin Zheng's offensive. The other hand was like an orchid flower. Flicked over, and pointed towards the Achilles heel of Qin Zheng's body.

One side of Qin Zheng's body avoided the fatal spot, but the flesh and blood on his shoulder was still pierced.

That arm was hurt only yesterday.

Even when Qin Zheng was intact, he would not be an opponent of the Tsing Yi scholar, let alone now.

Seeing the constant attacks by the scribes in Tsing Yi, Qin Zheng saw blood on his body.

A jewelry box was suddenly thrown at the two of them.

"Stop it all!"

The things in the jewelry box were scattered all over the place, and the ring pendant jingled and fell to the ground, which was exactly what Xie Jinyao threatened everyone with as a gift from the emperor.

Xie Jinhua just threw it out.

For a while, even the scribes in Tsing Yi stopped in shock.

And Qin Zheng looked at Xie Jinhua even more, his eyes were full of worry.

That imperial gift, whoever destroys it will cause big trouble, just now the servants behind Mrs Huang were afraid of this, but it doesn't mean that Xie Jinhua should not be concerned about this.

Too many people present would tell about Xie Jinhua's destruction of the imperial gift.

Qin Zheng's gaze turned cold for a moment, and he glanced at the people around him, with a hidden murderous intent in his eyes.

Unless everyone can no longer open their mouths.

Finally, his eyes fell on the scribe in blue, his brows were slightly frowned.

It is actually not difficult to kill other people present, but the biggest stumbling block is this person.

Why hasn't the poison on the silver needle exploded yet?

The scribe in Tsing Yi happened to meet Qin Zheng's eyes, and wanted to laugh angrily for a moment: "Boy, take back your eyes, you want to kill me, practice for another ten years."

"As for this, I am the ancestor who used poison, and I will use the axe!"

The scribe in Tsing Yi threw the silver needle in front of Qin Zheng and laughed mockingly.

Qin Zheng was not irritated by the other party's contemptuous eyes, but just lowered his head, his eyes were full of regret.

After all, he still can't get home.

"Sister, you dropped the imperial gift. I saw it for real just now, no, everyone present saw it for real. Sister, you dropped the imperial gift. How disrespectful."

"It was stupid to think that you had an affair with a slave before, but now my sister knows it, and she can be even more stupid."

As he spoke, Xie Jinyao casually threw the box in his hand that was blocked by the scribes in Tsing Yi and was not taken away by Qin Zheng on the ground: "This thing is useless, sister will wait for His Majesty to punish you for your disrespect. "

Seeing Xie Jinyao's performance, the scribe in Tsing Yi frowned slightly, his eyes were a little puzzled, and there was a trace of disgust that he didn't even notice, because of the attitude that was completely opposite to the woman in his heart.

Xie Jinhua didn't react to Xie Jinyao's words, because her attention was all on the wooden box that fell on the ground and broke open.

The things in that box were scattered all over the floor, and there were messy things inside, including a porcelain bottle with a broken corner, bits and pieces of broken porcelain that couldn't be seen from the original shape, two white handkerchiefs, one faulty, and one Inkstone, a piece of paper with writing on it.

Also, a single lotus-shaped earring.

It was the earring that Xie Jinhua wore when he fell into the water in Prince Rui's mansion that day, and was thrown away later.

Some of those things Xie Jinhua still remembered, and some Xie Jinhua had long forgotten, but Qin Zheng put them all in boxes carefully.

The bottom of my heart was heavy for a moment, Xie Jinhua's gaze was fixed there, unable to move for a long time.

Something was constantly fermenting in her heart, making her eyes inexplicably sour.

Qin Zheng's body stiffened, he clenched his hands tightly, his complexion turned scary pale for a moment.

Xie Jinyao looked at Xie Jinhua's dazed look, thinking she was frightened, couldn't help laughing out loud, even walked over, reached out and picked up the piece of paper with writing on it, unfolded it: "Look inside What did you write? My sister’s boudoir name, and this name, it should be the name of this servant, the two names put together, it really makes people think that they don’t understand the personal relationship in it.”

Xie Jinyao was smiling happily when a pair of white brocade shoes studded with pearls stopped in front of her, looking up at Xie Jinhua with a sarcastic smile.

"Those who are clear see clear, and those who are turbid see turbidity. The third sister really never knows what progress is."

A slap slammed onto Xie Jinyao's face. Under Xie Jinyao's astonished and angry eyes, Xie Jinhua gently rubbed his fingertips.

"Sister seems to have forgotten that I was only praised by His Majesty as a model of ladies in the capital yesterday. If you want to make the Xie family a laughing stock of everyone, you can publicize my so-called personal relationship."

"Of course, if you don't dare, I can also go and walk around the homes of those young ladies and gentlemen who I saved to help Xie Jiayang make a name for himself."

"Also, I have received quite a few invitations from the mansion today, and I think there should be some later, and Your Majesty, I heard that the guards who performed bravely yesterday are being rewarded, although Ah Zheng and I do not have positions However, the bodyguards in the palace also showed their faces in front of His Majesty, and if His Majesty happened to remember and wanted to inquire about me and A Zheng, mother should be able to find someone who can talk."

"However, third sister, I really didn't expect that the evidence in your mouth is just a piece of paper for teaching writing, some scrap metal, and someone's handkerchief. For these things, you mobilize people. Your heart is really good. The most important thing is to hone and hone it, in the future no one will marry a woman like this kind of woman who can't even catch the wind and shadow."

Xie Jinhua's words came unhurriedly, but Huang's words that wanted to shout out were swallowed back.

She looked at the second daughter who grew up with her, but became a stranger overnight, and said word by word: "Hua'er, you are much smarter than before, mother can't do anything to you, but, Just now you personally destroyed the imperial gift, even mother can't help you get over it."

"It's good to teach my mother to know that the imperial gifts are kept in the cabinet. Just now, the box was sent by someone from Cheng Engong's mansion, and I accidentally forgot it just now. The tired mother and third sister are worried."

Xie Jinyao's eyes widened, and she pointed at Xie Jinhua: "You"

The words in the mouth can't say anything except you.

Her chest kept rising and falling, her heart fire kept rising, and she was about to faint.

The scribe in Tsing Yi, who was always watching, tightened his face, stepped forward to support Xie Jinyao, and entered the other party's body with aura.

Xie Jinyao's bruised complexion returned to normal, but she slapped the green-clothed scholar's hand fiercely, with disgust in her eyes: "What are you, you dare to touch me!"

The scribe in Tsing Yi changed his expression.

Xie Jinyao didn't want to stay in this place for even a moment longer, so she turned around and ran out.

"Mother, don't forget that the third sister is still under confinement. If you still ignore it, be careful that your majesty will remember the good deeds that the third sister has done."

Xie Jinhua smiled at Huang Shi, saying so.

"Hua'er, you can do it for yourself. You did too much for a slave of humble background. Even if Yao'er is not in her early years today, there will be someone else sooner or later. Let's go!"

Mrs. Huang smiled stiffly, left those words behind and walked towards the door first.

In an instant, there were not many people left in the room.

"Does Mr. Zheng still want to keep tea?"

Xie Jinhua looked at the only outsider left in the room, and said with a smile on his face.

Although the corners of his lips were hooked, there was a clear unwelcome expression in his eyes.

She guessed the identity of the other party, it should be the guest Xie Shangshu stayed in the mansion, but she didn't expect that the other party had some connection with Xie Jinyao.

Qin Zheng saw Mr. Zheng's concern for Xie Jinyao at first glance, how could Xie Jinhua not see it.

Such a high skill, suddenly appeared in the mansion, caring for Xie Jinyao, Xie Jinhua was wary of the heart of the person in front of him.

If the other party really helps Xie Jinyao in the future, he has to guard against him.

Mr. Zheng looked at Xie Jinhua with exceptional focus, and Qin Zheng looked at him warily, ready to strike when he was in trouble.

"Has anyone ever told you that you look like a human being?"

With some nostalgia in his eyes, Mr. Zheng looked at Xie Jinhua's extremely beautiful face, and was a little absent-minded.

"I guess it looks a little like my father."

Xie Jinyao said lightly.

The light in Mr. Zheng's eyes turned cold in an instant, and he sneered: "There are indeed some similarities, they are both so eloquent and thoughtful."

Turned around and left, but when he reached the door, Mr. Zheng suddenly stopped in his tracks: "I gave you a shock today, and I can answer one thing for you in the future. If you think of something you want me to do for you, you can go to Qianqiuyuan in the north of the city. Find me."

When Xie Jinhua confronted Huang Shi and Xie Jinyao, the cold and confident color in her eyebrows and eyes was almost the same as that woman back then.

Just for the similar eyebrows.

Xie Jinhua frowned, wondering why that Mr. Zheng went crazy suddenly, turned his head, but saw Qin Zheng carefully collecting the scattered things on the ground.

His movements were very gentle, as if he was afraid of breaking something, but because of Xie Jinyao's movements just now, most of the things inside were scratched.

The young man's lips were tightly pursed, and he held the broken inkstone with his fingers, his finger bones were white.

Xie Jinhua walked over slowly, knelt down, and gently pulled out the inkstone from the young man's hand, as if it were in a box, while saying to himself: "If you don't get rid of the old ones, you won't get the new ones. You will have many more in the future." Really good stuff, don't go for that."

"It's not scrap metal."

Qin Zheng suddenly made a sound.

Xie Jinhua looked up.

There was a stubbornness in the boy's eyes that no one could shake: "These are my treasures, and I will never have them again."

So, they are not broken metal, the memory of being with you is my most precious thing.

"Fool, I just lied to them by saying that."

Xie Jinhua blinked her eyes and suddenly smiled.

So, stop looking at me like you're about to cry, okay?
