Chapter 421 There's Something Fishy about It

However, these businesswomen's thoughts were doomed to fail. Young master green-clad had already stepped down from the pavilion, made a salute to Qin Mengxiu and the others, and said to Su Mianyue, "Young master, please don't disturb your ladies' gracefulness. After all, this is a sacred place of buddhism."

Su Mianyue had the heart to refute a few words. It could be seen that the man in green had already walked out of the bamboo forest. He could only sigh and shake his head. In a low voice, he said, "It's a pity that such a good opportunity is wasted."

The man in green heard Su Mianyue's words, but his footsteps did not stop. Su Mianyue looked like he was struggling to catch up with her. From time to time, he looked back at the smiling beauty and almost fell to the ground several times. After he could not see her clearly, he ran out of the bamboo forest regretfully. But the man in the green shirt was nowhere to be seen.

At this moment, Changsheng was coming over with the food box. Seeing that Su Mianyue had just come out to speak, he was stopped by Su Mianyue's eyes and scolded unhappily, "Why are you so slow? The young master had a stomach full of cold wind inside. If you had come earlier, the young master would have been able to use flowers to curry favor with a beautiful woman. If the young master could not marry back to the young madam, you would have waited for her to scold you."

Changsheng wiped off a completely non-existent sweat and immediately bent down to nod in cooperation with the apology. The master and servant went back the same way.

After making sure that no one was hiding around, Su Mianyue said in a low voice: "There's something wrong with the identity of the person you saw. He came out of the formation. I suspect that this Guangji Temple is a bit fishy, but our people can't investigate now. We can only discuss it after we go out. You find a chance to tell our people to be careful and not to reveal anything."

"Yes." Changsheng immediately bowed and said yes.

"All right, stop acting. There's no one around here. Go back and rest." Su Mianyue said a word and slowed down, but his brows never relaxed.

The national defense temple is located near Capital City, covering an entire mountain area. If this is the base of a certain prince, and the use of good men and women to amass wealth and store food, it is undoubtedly a knife hanging on Ji Xun's head.

Su Mianyue paused and turned back to look at the direction of the back mountain. With the land area of Guangji Temple, even an army of tens of thousands of men and horses was not a problem. If they were to attack Capital City, Ji Xun would not even have time to prepare.

Su Mianyue, who had a heavy heart, decided to stay put for the time being. She didn't know much about the formation. If she couldn't get out of the bamboo forest formation, she would be alarmed. Now, she had to be careful not to reveal anything and inform Ji Xun of this discovery as soon as possible.

Ji Xun, whom Su Mianyue had thought about several times, had just ordered to take back the iron and steel certificate that had been passed down from generation to generation by Prince Pingyang. No matter how much Prince Pingyang complained, Ji Xun still refused to change his mind, but it also showed that as long as the royal family of Pingyang did not participate in the rebellion and did not violate the national law, they could inherit the throne of Prince Pingyang for generations, and all the systems remained the same.

But no matter what Ji Xun said, no one believed him.

The red book and iron certificate was the biggest reliance of the Pingyang royal family. Without this protection umbrella, Ji Xun could find a crime to keep the Pingyang royal family in peace. Sometimes, the so-called crime of treason is not an additional crime.

In the sound of Prince Pingyang crying, scolding and begging for mercy, Ji Xun ordered people to temporarily place him in a remote place in the palace and send secret guards to protect him.

In fact, it was also a disguised surveillance of the king of Pingyao, so that he did not have a chance to cause trouble, and the imperial edict was also summoned out. The entire Imperial Capital knew about the mistakes of the king of Pingyao, but no one dared to talk too much about it.

As for the soldiers brought by the king of Pingyang, after the investigation, Ji Xun killed all the soldiers who were truly loyal to the palace of pingyang, and the remaining number was less than one-third, which was undoubtedly a warning to all the vassals.

Anyone who dares to act recklessly because they have the military power in their hands will never be in a situation like Prince Pingyang's.

The injured prince of Yongkang had arrived in the capital city and was temporarily treated by the imperial physician because of his serious injury.

Ji Xun ordered that no one be allowed to ask for permission to visit. Before Prince Yongkang's injuries could recover, Ji Xun's banquet with the kings would be put to a temporary end.

"Prime Minister Zuo, I have never asked you about your family's personal affairs, but Prime Minister Zuo, as an important official, should take care of himself. The rumors about your family should be settled as soon as possible. Don't let the people see your family's jokes." After dealing with Prince Pingyang, Ji Xun looked up at Prime Minister Zuo. Although his voice was calm, Prime Minister Zuo was sweating.

Prime Minister Zuo knew why Yuan Zijing was in trouble, including the rumors after Yuan Zijing's accident. Prime Minister Zuo also made people say that Su Mianyue was not allowed to let others enter the palace to compete for favor and killed Yuan Zijing. Now, hearing ji xun ask, he was not sure if Su Mianyue knew what the left Prime Minister's Mansion did.

However, ji xun only glanced at Prime Minister Zuo and then lowered his head to review the transcripts, ignoring Prime Minister Zuo's worries.

The right side sneered, "I've heard a lot of versions of the original, but I don't know which one is real or fake. I've heard people say that Prime Minister Zuo's daughter is a bold and unrestrained person. The truth is very strange. There are a lot of impeachments from the imperial court for trivial matters. Why is it that the Prime Minister Zuo family is still so impeachable? Isn't it because the imperial court is sick?"

"Have you ever heard the wise man's words?" The left was equal to the right in a cold voice.

"It's true that rumors stop at the wise, but what happened to the daughter in Zhengyang House..." The right half opened his mouth mercilessly and was interrupted by Prime Minister Zuo before he could finish.

"Shut up!" Zuo xiang yelled angrily. He didn't know whether he was ashamed of Yuan Zijing or angry. He pointed to his right and shouted, "Right, are you trying to force his daughter to death?"

"What does Prime Minister Zuo mean by that?" The right side looked at the left side in confusion and said, "When the incident happened that day, he was in the palace. Even if he was invited to go to Zhengyang House, he would not be able to do anything."

"Wei zhengqing!" Prime Minister Zuo shouted, shaking as if he could faint at any moment.

"Well, this is not the place where you quarrel." Ji Xun opened his mouth slowly and waved his big hand, "The two aiqing want to discuss the inside story of Zhengyang House. Go outside the palace and argue. I'm sure the people like to hear it."

"Your highness, the crown prince, please forgive us." The left and right of them clasped hands in Ji Xun's direction.

"Kneel down." Ji Xun did not lift his head to give an order. As the two of them were about to leave, he told the eunuch beside them, "The dishes in Zhengyang House are quite good. Go and order some special dishes for them."

The little eunuch hurried away, but Prime Minister Zuo's face broke out in cold sweat after hearing this. Could he make a sound to stop the little eunuch from going out of the palace?

Or did he have time to stop what his men were about to do?

After glancing at Prime Minister Zuo, who looked extremely pale, he snorted, "Prime Minister Zuo has been an official for so many years and is one of the three princes. When did he become so timid?"

After saying this, he took a step to the right and walked away. Walking with Prime Minister Zuo would affect his good mood.

At this time, Prime Minister Zuo had no time to quarrel with the right. Now, he only hoped that the people under him could do things more smoothly and not leave any clues. When he thought of this, he quickly walked to the palace gate and crossed the right side without even hearing a word from the right side.
