Chapter 427: Defenseless

Liu Jin stood in front of the Ministry of Rites, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.

Tang Ning is a broom star, and the statement that he killed the household servant and put the criminal department servant into the prison has long been spread all over the Jingshi, but this is actually a little exaggerated, the household servant and the criminal department waiter are found to have problems themselves, damn it, catch it, blame yourself, and blame others.

But the Ministry of Rites is different.

As soon as Tang Ning entered the Ministry of Rites, there was a fraud case in the Ministry of Rites, and the host and guest Langzhong suddenly fell seriously ill, if Liu Jin still didn't know that he did something in it, in order to get the position of the marriage envoy, it would be better to resign and return to his hometown, so as not to be swallowed in the officialdom.

The Ministry of Rites is the territory of the Tang family, Tang Ning and Tang Shangshu have a common enmity, he can't fight Tang Shangshu, so he has to be angry with them, this is probably the truth------ Liu Jin is not afraid of the legend of the broom star, he is afraid of Tang Ning's means.

Countless examples prove that the people he targets do not end well.

He was pacing in the ancestral hall, and the three Langzhong had taken a long leave like him, and now he was the only one who came, so if Tang Ning still wanted to continue to stir up trouble and retaliate in the Ministry of Rites, wouldn't he bear the brunt?

He looked anxious, thought for a long time, and strode out of the ancestral hall and walked towards the yafang where Liu Feng, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, was.

When he walked up the steps in front of the porch, he felt that a certain green brick on the steps under his feet was a little loose, Liu Jin thought about it, and moved the green brick outward a few more points with a slight force under his feet.

He has just arrived at the Ministry of Rites, and he has to ask for leave again, so he will not approve it, so he should make sufficient preparations first, if he breaks his foot when he goes down the steps, he can only lie at home to recuperate, and he will not be unsympathetic if he wants to come to Lord Shilang.

He knocked on the door and walked into the yafang, Liu Feng of the Ministry of Rites looked at him and asked, "Liu Langzhong is sick?" You came back just in time, several of you have taken leave these days, and the affairs of the Ministry of Rites are piling up, if you don't come back, the official will go to visit your home. ”

Liu Jin stepped in and said embarrassedly: "Lord Shilang, Xiaguan, Xiaguan came this time, in fact, he wanted to take another month off......

"What?" Liu Feng looked at him, frowned, and said: "What the hell is going on with the few of you, you just took such a long leave, and now you want to ask again, this official sees that you are in good spirits, and you don't look like you are seriously ill at all, if you can't say a reason today, this official will not agree." ”

Lord Shilang is also considered his own person, Liu Jin said with a bitter face: "Lord Shilang, you should also know that Tang Ning has returned to the Ministry of Rites, and the lower officials are really worried about staying here, and they don't know when they will spoil his poisonous hands, so they want to go home first to avoid the limelight, and then come back when he leaves the Ministry of Rites......"

"Ridiculous!" Liu Feng stood up and asked, "Do you also believe that the broom star is false?" ”

Liu Jin said: "I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of just in case." ”

Liu Feng walked out of the yafang and said, "Don't worry, after today, he won't come to the Ministry of Rites again." ”

Liu Jin was stunned and asked, "He's leaving?" ”

Liu Feng nodded and said: "Although he has not been in the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites for a long time, this time he has been an envoy for half a year, and he does not need to stay in the Ministry of Rites for more, he came today to pack up his things." ”

"That's good." Liu Jin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then the lower official will not ask for leave." ”

"Would you believe such a ridiculous thing?" Liu Feng walked out of the yamen, glanced at him, and said, "Outsiders also rumored that he specializes in serving as a waiter, he has been in the Ministry of Rites for so long, why hasn't this official done anything at all?" ”

Liu Jin hurriedly complimented: "Lord Shilang has his own immortal protection, just a broom star, how can he be an adult's opponent?" ”

Liu Feng waved his hand and said, "You go back and get busy, this official still has some things to do with Lord Shangshu." ”

He walked down the stairs and stepped on a green brick on the stairs.

A small half of the green brick hung outside, and it happened to be stepped on by him, and it was directly warped.

Liu Feng only felt empty under his feet, and then stumbled, his body was unstable, and the whole person fell forward.

There was a small flower bed under the corridor, which was enclosed with bricks and stones, and Liu Feng planted it from the porch, hitting his head on the edge of the flower garden, and he was bleeding in an instant.

Tang Ning walked out of the host and guest division, holding in his arms the time he had put in the yamen when he was in the Ministry of Rites, and was about to come over and leave after saying a word to Liu Shilang, seeing Liu Feng stepping on the air and falling, lying on the ground holding his head and snorting, he was also stunned in place.

Liu Jin ran out of the yamen, looked at the scene in front of him, and after being stunned, he immediately said loudly: "Liu Shilang is injured, come here, come quickly!" ”

The doctor who heard the news finally helped Liu Feng stop the bleeding, and Liu Jin looked at him and asked, "How is Lord Shilang's injury?" ”

The doctor looked at him and said, "There is no fear for my life, but Lord Squire happened to hit the corner of a green brick, even if it is good, I am afraid that I will have to leave a scar in the future......"

Thinking of the green brick, Liu Jin felt weak in his heart for a while, and said: "It's good if there's no big thing, it's good if there's no big thing......"

Liu Jin came out of the room and saw many people standing in the courtyard looking and talking in a whisper.

"That person is really the nemesis of Shilang, fortunately, Liu Shilang's life is big, if he moves an inch to the side and hits the sharp corner of the green brick, I'm afraid he will be dead now!"

"He, where is he a broom star, it is clearly Hades......"

"It's terrible, it's impossible to prevent it!"

……

"Ahem!" Liu Jin coughed, and everyone immediately stopped talking.

Liu Jin calmly pointed to the stairs where the waiter of the Ministry of Rites fell, and said, "Let people repair and repair it there, so that no one will fall down again, and in addition, throw the brick that hurt Liu Shilang farther away......"

……

After saying goodbye to the Ministry of Rites, Tang Ning could stay at home for a few more days before going to the Ministry of War to report.

The home and the princess's mansion are under construction, and Zhao Man announced that he would build a garden in the backyard, so that even if there is a big disturbance in the back, no one will suspect it.

The county lord of Anyang took them out for a walk today, and even Tang Yaoyao ran to join in the fun, it seemed that it was really the bracelet he gave by mistake that played a role, and since then, she has never mentioned Li Tianlan and Zhao Man.

Twice Tang Ning went to look for her and found that she was actually watching "The Legend of the West Chamber" and "The Peony Pavilion" again, and she was actually taking notes while watching, Tang Ning wanted to see what she was remembering, but she was ruthlessly driven out.

He was alone at home with nothing to do, just sitting next to Xiaoxiao and watching her read.

In addition to practicing, Xiaoxiao will take at least an hour out to read every day, she is different from the playful Fang Xinyue, she is very calm, serious in her work, and can persist for a long time, but in Tang Ning's view, books must be read, but when it is time to play, she can't be ambiguous, she didn't have a happy childhood, and now she can make up for as much as she can, she and Fang Xinyue are still and moving, just complementing each other.

Tang Ning and Xiaoxiao sat in the pavilion, and Lao Zheng sat in the courtyard, teaching Nan to read and write, and occasionally glanced at this side.

I don't know how long later, the old beggar came out of the corner, looked at Lao Zheng, and asked, "Pig killer, why do you always look at my apprentice?" ”

Lao Zheng turned his head, looked at him and asked, "Is there one?" ”

The old beggar said, "Don't try to deny it, the old man has been staring at you for a long time." ”

Lao Zheng looked over again and said, "The little girl is surprised by her bones and talented, it is really rare to see a good seedling of martial arts." ”

"You really want to rob the old man's precious apprentice!" The old beggar narrowed his eyes and threatened: "I warn you, Xiaoxiao is the old man's apprentice, you want to pass on your pig-killing skills, go to the apprentice yourself, and don't beat my precious apprentice's idea, otherwise, don't blame the old man for being polite......"

Lao Zheng shook his head and said, "You misunderstood, I didn't want to accept the little girl as an apprentice." ”

When the old beggar heard this, his brows furrowed even more, and he said, "What do you mean by this, my apprentice is talented and intelligent, and it happens once in a hundred years, you don't want to accept her as an apprentice?" ”

Lao Zheng was silent for a moment, looked at him, and asked, "Are you sick?" ”
