"I … … I have never seen such a shameless person!"
Following this righteous and angry rebuke, everyone's gazes turned back to Qin Hui.
The eyes of everyone in the marquis fu were filled with bewilderment as if they had grasped onto a life-saving straw. They seemed to have heard a turning point in the matter from Eldest Miss's words.
And the expressions of the imperial envoy guards were a bit strange. They had all heard the imperial envoy's rebuke. The guards were all experienced civil servants. Basically, when Qin daren pouted, they knew what kind of shit he was spitting out … … Qin daren clearly wanted to use this as a pretext to make a fuss and push the blame away. He wanted to draw a clear line between himself and the demon's attack and directly let Marquis Jingan fu take the blame.
After all, when the imperial envoy was fishing in the canal, he inexplicably provoked a great demon that had cultivated into a spirit and was chased away in such a sorry state. He fled all the way to Ming Zhou and was even beaten up and hung on a flagpole when he entered the marquis fu. If this matter was spread to the court, he would end up with the evaluation of creating trouble out of nothing and being unable to take on important responsibilities. To be able to turn a small matter into a small matter and attribute it all to Marquis Jingan fu's scheme, that would be very good.
— — Therefore, even though they felt that this matter was somewhat shameless, but in the ups and downs of the officialdom, the principle was that it was better to kill friends than to kill oneself. Although Miss Zhao was beautiful, compared to their own black gauze hat, she was not worth mentioning … … they were all members of the imperial envoy guards and could be considered to be one with honor and disgrace. If Qin daren pushed the blame away, everyone would be spared from the crime of incompetence and provoking the demon. Wouldn't that be perfect?
So they heard it, but they hesitated and pretended not to hear it. In any case, Qin daren's rank was the highest. Since he had decided, everyone could only comply.
So at this very moment, after Miss Zhao heard the steward's whisper, her aura immediately surged and she angrily rebuked. It was clear that she had grasped some sort of key point. The hearts of the imperial envoy guards began to beat a retreat and their gazes became erratic.
Hu Shouxin sighed softly and took two steps back. Standing in the darkness, no one could clearly see his expression.
At this time, Qin Hui's heart also thumped. He faintly felt that something was not right. However, he had cultivated his face to perfection. Without a change in expression, he coldly said, "Does Miss Zhao want to add the crime of insulting the imperial envoy?"
Miss Zhao coldly said, "Lord Qin, you are distorting the truth, creating something out of nothing, and wantonly framing the loyal. You disregard the law of the country and His Majesty as if they are nothing. How can such a treacherous official be fit to be an imperial envoy and patrol on behalf of the heavens?"
Qin Hui shook her sleeves. "Hysterical. What a joke."
Zhao Feihuang had a cold expression and ignored the imperial envoy's disdain, slowly saying: "The demons that attacked the marquis fu tonight have nothing to do with the Marquis of Jingan fu, but it has a lot to do with Imperial Envoy daren!
Just now, my steward reported something. He said that when he was commanding the rescue of your subordinates, he once heard a sir collapse and shout, 'Why is that monster here again?' — Sir, I don't understand. How do you explain the word 'again'?
Could it be that you've seen this monster before? "
Qin Hui said coldly, "Who doesn't know how to fabricate facts?
Whoever heard it, stand out. Whoever you heard it from, shout them out and confront them face to face. How about it? "
Zhao Feihuang faintly sneered: "Imperial Envoy daren is so powerful. I think that even if you identify the witnesses, they wouldn't dare to speak the truth.
But it's fine. In order to protect ourselves, the marquis fu has eyes and ears in Mingzhou. Imperial Envoy daren arrived yesterday, but we didn't discover any signs of imperial envoys entering the city. May I ask, how did Imperial Envoy daren get here? "
Qin Hui snorted: "Why should this official answer your question?
I am the imperial envoy. Only I have the right to ask you questions. You don't have the right to ask me questions! "
The harsher the imperial envoy daren's voice was, the calmer the smile on Miss Zhao's face became: "Then I won't ask and will speak directly.
Yesterday morning, the guards at the gate revealed that two disheveled and disheveled knights had entered the city on horseback, shouting that they had urgent documents. However, the two who had barged in did not go to the Mingzhou government office or the headquarters of the military headquarters. Instead, they went straight to the Loyalty Tower. Could it be that the imperial court had a transfer order for Commander Hu?
Immediately after, the rangers of the Zhongyi Tower went out in all directions. With the south gate of Mingzhou as the center, they fanned out in search. Yesterday, in twos and threes, the rangers escorted a few battered and exhausted friends back to the Zhongyi Tower. It is said that these people's appearances are somewhat similar to those of the imperial envoys … "
Speaking to this point, her expression was cold. She cupped her hands and said, "Imperial Envoy daren is truly deeply entrusted by the Emperor. You work diligently. Not only do you not make a show of ostentation, you have taken great pains to use such an ingenious method to secretly enter the city just to give me a surprise attack. Truly admirable."
The imperial envoy snorted coldly and didn't say anything.
Miss Zhao continued: "The Empire is founded on martial prowess. The mighty army that has been through hundreds of battles is the best in the world. The military system of the six armies is extremely perfect. It is because of this that I discovered something very strange.
Unexpectedly, the fine horses that the esteemed officials rode here belonged to Thriving Martial Manor. The horses' hooves were branded with the seal of Thriving Martial Manor's prefectural army. It should be known that Thriving Martial Manor was quite far from Mingzhou City. Why would the esteemed imperial envoy disembark from the faster and more comfortable canal at Thriving Martial Manor and even borrow the military horses of the local garrison instead?
And why are you in such a sorry state all the way here?
What is the reason? The more I think about it, the more curious and worried I am. "
Qin Hui's expression was already somewhat unsightly.
Zhao Feihuang smiled faintly, but her smile was incomparably cold: "I have long hair and short knowledge. I don't understand the imperial envoy's intentions. I thought that you met with some mishap on the way, so I was worried and wanted to contribute to the imperial envoy. Thus, I sent capable men to the south to investigate. They followed the canal all the way down and split into three groups. The first group followed a section of Thriving Martial Manor's canal to investigate, specifically asking the farmers on both sides if anything strange had happened on the canal that day. The second group visited the relay stations along the way to ask if there were any nobles who had stayed there. The third group headed directly to Thriving Martial Manor to inquire if there were any signs that the manor had deployed troops!"
"And in the evening, the first group of men and horses returned, bringing with them important information. Imperial Envoy, you fled down the canal in a panic near Thriving Martial Manor. When the wind and clouds surged on the Heavenly River, your ship was forcibly broken and you all fled in a sorry state. All of this was clearly seen by the farmers nearby!
When I received the news, I thought that you, Imperial Envoy, had encountered a plot to assassinate you and didn't know what to say. I didn't expect that you had provoked a demon yourself!
And now, you're still so brazen and shameless, wanting to push this black pot onto the Marquis fu's head. You're simply shameless to the extreme! "
When she said this, her gaze was already as sharp as a knife. She looked at Lord Qin and said sternly: "This is the heavenly law that protects the loyal and upright. This chess piece that I casually placed became the proof of the Marquis fu's innocence!
The remaining two groups of men and horses will return within a few days. Whether this demon was provoked by Imperial Envoy or arranged by Marquis Jingan fu, when the time comes, the evidence will be irrefutable and the answer will be clear!
Lord Qin, you don't cultivate virtue and act recklessly. How can the empire's laws tolerate you!
When the time comes, I will definitely report this matter to the higher-ups and accuse you of abusing your power, framing the loyal and upright, neglecting your duties, and acting recklessly in deceiving the monarch! "
These words seemed to chisel into Qin Hui's heart. His expression changed slightly: "Zhao Feihuang, you …"
"Shut up!
Shameless treacherous official! "
Zhao Feihuang shouted sternly, "The Marquis fu's entire family is loyal and brave. My father and brother sacrificed their lives for this calamity. Although Zhao Feihuang is a woman, I don't dare to disgrace my ancestors!
Today, Qin Hui, you framed the Marquis fu and insulted my Zhao family's reputation. You are the Marquis fu's mortal enemy. Even if I become a malicious spirit, I will definitely return from the underworld to attack you!
Whatever methods you have, just use them. For the sake of protecting the country, the Marquis fu's men have all died. If one more Zhao Feihuang dies, it doesn't mean much. You have a way to silence people, you have a way to deceive the monarch, do you have a way to block the mouths of the people in the world? "
She turned around, raised her arm and called out loudly: "Everyone in the Marquis fu, listen to my orders. You are nominally the stewards and servants of the Marquis fu, but in reality, you are all my uncles, aunts, elders, and brothers. If the Marquis fu cannot avoid this calamity, please leave as soon as possible. Only remember one thing, you must spread the truth of this matter. Spread the truth of my Zhao family's injustice and the truth of this matter. Even if the injustice can't be cleared in a short period of time, but in ten or a hundred years, when this treacherous official is made to kneel on the subway and receive eternal infamy, all the bad things he has done, all the people he has wronged, will definitely receive the final redress!"
When she finished speaking, her eyes revealed a look of hatred. She pointed at Qin Hui and said loudly: "Two days ago, when this person was taking a boat north on the canal, he did not cultivate virtue, he was unrestrained, he defiled and played with fish. He was deranged and disgusting to the extreme. He unintentionally angered a great demon of the water clan that was passing by. Not only did he not feel ashamed, he also did not apologize. He even used his status as an imperial envoy to oppress people, to the extent that the demon was angered and its false dignity collapsed!
This person was chased to the shore in a sorry state. He ran all the way and entered Mingzhou City in a panic. Under the protection of Master Hu's wings, his fear lessened and his arrogance returned. During the day in the Marquis fu, he acted tyrannically and demanded bribes. He bullied the elderly, women, and children of the Marquis fu. At night, that demon chased after him to seek revenge. He was actually deranged and tried to push the blame onto the Marquis fu.
How shameless!
Everyone, please bear in mind that this is the truth! "
Seventy percent of what she said was false, but this level of nonsense would not make Qin Hui overly suspicious. He would think in his heart: "F * ck, this little bitch actually guessed the main truth by accident", and not "why does this woman know everything that happened on the boat". At this moment, although Qin Hui had a vague feeling that something was wrong, he was not in the mood to think about it carefully, because …
F * ck!
He was so angry, so angry, so angry!
The amount of information contained in these words, the twists of the plot, the heavy taste, the gimmick, the human nature, and the reversal were so much more explosive than the original version. It was obvious that the speed of transmission was fast and the lethality was great. Anyway, when Qin Hui heard the words, he almost blacked out and was about to explode in anger.
F * ck!
What do you mean I defiled and played with fish!
How defiled!
Ah!?
For a moment, he was dizzy and did not know what to do. He felt that everyone's eyes were on his lower body. For a scholar with a sense of honor, this was simply a great humiliation. Moreover, with Lord Qin's personality, if this kind of rumor spread out, it would be a stain on his life!
His future in the officialdom was over!
He roared, "Zhao Feihuang, don't slander me, I …"
"You're the one who slandered me!"
Zhao Feihuang said harshly, "Tomorrow morning, I'll go to the yamen in Mingzhou and announce your conspiracy and face to the world. If His Excellency can't impeach you, then I'll go to the capital and defend myself in front of the palace. I'll kill myself on the jade steps and seek justice for my father and brother, and for my family's reputation. You shameless treacherous official!
Treacherous official!
I … I … "
When the agitated young mistress Zhao said this, her face turned pale. She painfully clutched her chest and fell powerlessly into Xu Qingluan's arms like a swan with broken wings.
Xu Qingluan's face was pale with fright. She cried out, "Eldest Mistress!
Eldest Mistress! "
After Zhao Feihuang's explanation, the people of the Marquis' manor already understood the truth of the matter. They all looked at the imperial envoy with eyes full of hatred. If it weren't for the fact that they were wary of the imperial power that the other party represented, those with violent tempers would have already rushed forward and killed this bastard who wanted to harm the Marquis' manor. At this moment, young mistress Zhao fainting again was the last straw that broke the camel's back. It was like a spark that set the prairie ablaze, completely igniting the people's anger.
The people of the Marquis' manor silently surrounded, blocking the eldest young mistress and closing in on the imperial envoy guards. Even though most of them didn't know martial arts, the anger in their eyes and that silent aura were enough to shake the hearts of the imperial envoy guards who had ulterior motives.
Qin Hui gazed at young mistress Zhao who had suddenly fainted. She was first stunned, then she was so angry that she couldn't even speak — — motherf * * * er, every time she finished saying what she wanted to say and took the advantage and initiative before fainting. The timing of your fainting was too accurate!
This little slut!
Even though he gritted his teeth, an open conspiracy was an open conspiracy. Even though the imperial envoy clearly knew that Zhao Feihuang was pretending to faint again, at this moment, no matter what he said or did, it was useless and had no value.
The people of Marquis Jingan fu no longer cared about what he said or did. Even if he pointed out the truth, no one would believe him. Even if he had a way to prove that Zhao Feihuang was faking fainting, these people would definitely not allow him to take one step closer to Zhao Feihuang!
At this moment, it was as if Young Mistress Zhao had interrupted Qin Daren's skills and used a series of moves that could swallow mountains and rivers. Just as he was reinvigorating himself and planning to get back at her, he discovered that the other party had taken advantage of him and immediately decisively chose to go offline — — speaking logically, the imperial envoy felt as if his fist had landed on cotton. The sullenness in his heart couldn't be described with words.
But very quickly, he discovered that the problem he was facing now was not this. Instead, it was the angry people around him and the storm that would soon arrive. Young Mistress Zhao's counterattack would definitely be fiercer than imagined.
It would be enough … … to kill in one blow.
After his anger subsided and his mind calmed down, he finally thought of the serious consequences of this matter. Fear and coldness engulfed his entire body. Involuntarily, he wanted to turn his head and ask Hu Shouxin for help.
But when he thought of this person's suspicious position and actions, he immediately rejected this suggestion.
No, he couldn't rely on him … … perhaps this was originally a conspiracy … …
Since they had already shed all pretenses of cordiality, then … …
He raised his head and looked at the people of the marquis fu, letting out a mocking sneer: "It's no use, I am the imperial envoy. His Majesty only listens to me!
Your Marquis Jingan fu will soon be executed to the third generation!
All the glory bestowed upon you will be taken back!
You won't be able to escape, your Eldest Miss also won't be able to escape, no one will be able to escape. This is the law of the imperial court!
This is the law of the land!
What, you don't accept this!
What are you looking at!
Why aren't you scramming back to wait for death! "
Ah, come, continue to be angry!
And be driven by anger and put it into action!
Come!
Come and attack!
Come and attack the imperial envoy!
