Chapter 743: The Fish That Slipped Through the Net
Pu Yangxuan didn't speak, stepped forward, grabbed the back of the child's neck like a little chicken, and lifted the person up.
A touch of silver light fell into her eyes, Xue Jinyi felt wrong, and looked at it-
In the hands of children, there is also a dagger!
Just now, she was still crying and shouting hungry, poor little child, at this time, a pair of clear eyes burst out of deep hatred, staring at Xue Jinyi, as if the next moment would turn into a bloody mouth and swallow her alive!
Xue Jinyi was shocked, no one would be defensive against such a poor and young child, and the person who instigated him to do this series of things can be seen how vicious and bad he is!
The child was a little out of breath, waving his legs and feet in Pu Yangxuan's hands, struggling.
"Let go of me, let go of me! Don't you even spare the little ones, you are all beasts, beasts! ”
The dagger in his hand slashed back and forth, but it could only cut through the void air, causing the exclamations of those next to him.
Why does a little child have such a deep hatred?
The king of Chu and the princess have always been kind and treat ordinary people very well, how can there be such hatred?
Xue Jinyi looked at the eyes of the people around her, and knew that this matter was to be investigated clearly here, so as not to spread any rumors from hearsay in the future.
Puyang Xuan neatly snatched the dagger from the child's hand and threw it to the people around him, and on the other side, the people of the palace had already held the person who had done it before.
He handed over the child to the others, and then came to Xue Jinyi and asked softly, "Ah Jin, are you okay?" ”
Xue Jinyi smiled briskly: "Our Ah Xuan is so skilled, so there will be no trouble." ”
Pu Yangxuan reached out and pressed her shoulder, then slowly slid down her arm, and finally held her hands, gently rubbing them, this small movement made her mind completely calm.
"Okay, I'm really fine." Xue Jinyi smiled at him, "Find out what they are from, whether they are instructed by others." ”
Pu Yangxuan looked at her, and after a short while, he let go of a hand, and then turned his steps and stood side by side with Xue Jinyi.
Xue Jinyi turned her face slightly, glanced at the man next to her, and smiled knowingly.
Then, she looked at the two people who were being detained, one big and one small.
Order in the shed was quickly restored after this sudden "assassination", and most of the people were stopped outside the shed, watching the situation inside cautiously and nervously, and the few beggars who were making trouble were also detained.
After Xue Jinyi glanced around, her eyes finally fixed on two people, one big and one small.
The people of the palace wiped their faces with wet towels and pushed their loose hair behind their ears so that they could see their faces clearly.
The adults buried their heads in fear, as if they were eager to find a crack in the ground to get into, so that the king and his wife of Chu could see themselves clearly.
Xue Jinyi could only see a messy head like a bird's nest dangling in front of her eyes, and she couldn't see what that person looked like.
Immediately, a hand reached over and grabbed the man's chin, forcing him to raise his head and face Xue Jinyi and Pu Yangxuan.
Xue Jinyi took a closer look and recognized the person's identity, "Chen Jiao? ”
Seeing that he was recognized, Chen Jiao simply didn't dodge and scolded: "Xue Jinyi, you are an extremely vicious woman!" Sure enough, it is the most poisonous woman's heart, and it is not wrong at all, a woman like you should go down to the underworld and suffer from tongue pulling and roasting and frying...... Never turn over! ”
This kind of insult, among the ones Xue Jinyi has heard, is not among the top ten most vicious.
She smiled lightly, "So, you are avenging the Sun family?" ”
Chen Jiao was just about to speak, when he instantly felt the resentful gaze piercing his body like a needle, making him tremble and squint in horror.
These eyes came from outside the shed.
Who else can there be in the "Sun family" in the mouth of Princess Chu?
If you want to avenge the Sun family, what kind of good goods can you be?
Chen Jiao's brain spun fast, and he scolded: "I was originally a school scholar, and my future is infinite, but I was ruined because of you!" If you seek revenge from the Sun family, you will take revenge, why should you implicate the innocent me! Mistreating me to such an extent that the imperial court loses a usable talent, what are your intentions! ”
Xue Jinyi said: "The Sun family gathered in front of the Weiguo Mansion to make trouble and was severely punished. And you abandoned your wife and fled. Afterwards, in order to avoid being implicated, he wrote a letter of resignation when he went home, and cleared up his relationship with the Sun family, but it was really 'husband and wife were originally birds in the same forest, and they flew separately when disaster came'! ”
There was a disdainful boo from the crowd.
"It's just his own selfishness! What a shameless man, who relied on the Sun family to soar at the beginning, but now he turns his face and doesn't recognize people faster than anyone else? ! ”
"Hehe, when His Royal Highness the King of Chu was impeached and slandered, Princess Chu didn't want to reconcile with the King of Chu for self-protection, and left His Royal Highness the King of Chu alone, right?"
"That's it, how dare such a shameless person claim to be an available talent in the imperial court, it's really shameless!"
In the midst of the discussion, Chen Jiao's face became more and more ugly.
Xue Jinyi continued: "In the process of investigating the matter of the Sun family, I found that you passed the exam. The fame is true, but according to the election practice of previous years, it takes about three years to get the official appointment of the ministry. But what about you, in less than half a year, you will be appointed as the school secretary. May I ask you, how did you come to this official position? ”
Chen Jiao's breath stagnated, and then he shouted strongly: "Of course, I have both ability and political integrity, and I am trusted by the officials!" ”
"Huh?" Xue Jinyi looked surprised, "The champion Lang of the year has not been appointed, you can actually take the lead as a top three-class jinshi?" ”
Chen Jiao's figure shook a few times, and he was speechless for a while.
The crowd booed again.
This answer doesn't need Chen Jiao to explain it himself, and it is very clear.
Chen Jiao relied on the backer of the Sun family to get such an official position as "School Shulang", although he was of low grade but had a bright future.
"If you don't say it, then I'll say it for you." Although everyone already knew the answer, Xue Jinyi had to make it clear in public, "According to the investigation of Dali Temple, the Sun family bribed officials of the Ministry of Officials back then, which stuffed you into the list of selections. Excuse me, will a person who needs to rely on his wife's family and rely on bribes to get an official position be a available talent in the imperial court? ”
"It's not!" The onlookers replied in unison.
If someone hadn't grabbed him next to him, Chen Jiao would have almost stopped on the ground.
His face was as pale as paper, and his voice trembled as he argued, "I, I'm not...... You're in a desperate posture, and I'm here to protect my young children from misfortune! As he spoke, he looked at the child beside him with teary eyes, looking like a loving father.
Pu Yangxuan took the child's dagger and shook it, "This is how you love children?" When you push your child out, pretend to be pitiful, and gain sympathy, are you actually trying to kill people when they are defenseless? ”
