In the Zuoqing Office of Dali Temple, the doctor had already bandaged Qin Xiao's wound.
Su Yu, the minister of Dali Temple, and other officials were all present in the hall. Most of them looked excited, but the expression of a mature and prudent person like Su Yu was obviously much more serious.
"Everyone should disperse first." Su Yu waved her hand: "Let Qin Shaoqing be quiet for a while."
No one dared to disobey, so they surrendered to Qin Xiao.
If the previous respect for Qin Xiao was due to fear of the saint behind Qin Xiao, today's salute shows true respect for Qin Xiao from the bottom of his heart.
On this day, everyone felt that the Tang Dynasty seemed to be shining again.
"You did something wrong." Su Yu sighed: "It's okay if you kill him with one knife, but you actually cut him dozens of times when he was unable to fight back. You are young and energetic, and this unnecessary action...
It will definitely cause trouble."
Qin Xiao smiled and said: "Thirty-six knives, the official gave him thirty-six knives."
"Can you still laugh?" Su Yu glared at him, as if he was treating a child who had done something wrong, and reprimanded: "You killed him with one knife. That was a mistake in the competition, but if you slashed him one more time, that was intentional.
Killing people, you are a smart person, but you don’t understand this little bit of truth?”
Qin Xiao nodded and said: "I understand. It's just that Xianguan didn't kill him just to kill him. Xiaguan just wanted to let the people know that if they were insulted or even killed by foreign enemies, someone would definitely seek justice for them. Yuan Gai Wushuang was trapped and killed.
If he kills thirty-six people, I will chop him thirty-six times.”
"Childish." Su Yu blew his beard: "That beast is the prince of Bohai. How can he kill him at will? If you can defeat him, you can make the people of Bohai lose face. Why do you have to kill people?"
Qin Xiao sighed and said: "My lord, to be honest, Yuan Gai Wushuang's martial arts is superior to mine. If I want to defeat him, I can only seize one chance, and I must kill him with one blow, otherwise I will die today."
"
Su Yu seemed confused but was actually shrewd. He knew that what Qin Xiao said was true. He pondered for a moment and then said: "The palace will definitely ask about this matter. You have to think of a way to deal with it. But you are fighting for the dignity of the Tang Dynasty.
Now the people in Kyoto regard you as a hero of the Tang Dynasty. Even if someone wants to take the opportunity to punish you, they must consider the people's sentiments." He pondered for a moment and then said: "Until the saint's decree comes down, you will stay in Dali Temple honestly.
Don’t go anywhere. The Bohai Mission will definitely not give up. If they want to come, I’ll just hold them back. Listen carefully, don’t cause trouble again at this time."
Although Su Yu looked stern, Qin Xiao had a warm heart. After all, this old guy was still protecting himself. He usually drank tea to stay healthy, but when something really happened, he could help.
Today's battle has made the depression in his heart disappear. As for what the palace will do next, Qin Xiao is really not too worried.
He knew that the saint regarded him as the auxiliary star of the Seven Kills. It was precisely because of this confidence that he knew that even if someone wanted to take the opportunity to attack, he would just punish him with some small punishment. The saint would never be able to cut off the auxiliary star and chop off his head.
.
As long as he saves his life, Qin Xiao doesn't care at all, even if he is dismissed from office.
Killing Yuan Gai Wushuang would establish prestige for the Tang Dynasty, combat the arrogance of the Bohai people, and punish Yuan Gai Wushuang for his indiscriminate killing of innocent people. The most important thing is that the Bohai Mission wanted to remove She Yue and even Chang Ning from the Tang Dynasty.
The hope of taking away the princess was completely shattered.
"Sir, there is something very strange. Can you send someone to check it out?" Qin Xiao said softly: "Before I went on stage, another person also came on stage to compete. His martial arts was obviously better than Yuan Gai Wushuang. It stands to reason.
Said, that person can defeat Yuan Gai Wushuang without me taking the stage, but...!"
"Are you talking about the young man who suddenly became ill?" Everyone in Kyoto pays great attention to the arena competition from top to bottom, and Su Yu is certainly no exception.
Qin Xiao asked: "Do you think he is sick?"
"After he took the stage, he was sure of victory, but suddenly stopped and was kicked off the stage by Yuan Gai Wushuang." Su Yu stroked his beard and said, "If it hadn't been for a sudden illness, this would never have happened."
Qin Xiao frowned and said, "Do you know who he is?"
"I don't know." Su Yu shook his head and said, "It's strange to say that all the young heroes on stage have their own names, but this person is strange and no one knows him."
"Can this person be found?"
Su Yu wondered: "Why are you looking for him? After he left, he disappeared."
"This official always feels that something is very strange." Qin Xiao said: "With his strength, if he is really sick, he will definitely know whether he can go on stage. When he took action, his body skills were very agile, and he didn't look like someone who was going to be sick at all.
"
Su Yu said: "We have already lost anyway. It doesn't matter whether you know who he is. What you are worried about now is yourself, and you don't have to worry about other things."
At this moment, the sound of footsteps was heard, and Feixin, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, hurried over and said with cupped hands: "Sir, someone from the Kyoto Prefecture came to the door and said they wanted to take Master Qin for questioning. Yun Shaoqing is dealing with it.
"
"Kyoto Prefecture?" Su Yu was a little surprised.
Qin Xiao said with a smile: "I thought someone from the Criminal Department would be sent here."
"You dare to go to Dali Temple to ask for someone even if you go to Kyoto Prefecture." Su Yu sneered and ordered: "Tell them that Qin Shaoqing is recovering from his injuries and cannot be questioned. Unless they have a decree from the palace, please go back.
.”
"They don't have the decree from the palace, but they have the order from Zhongshu Sheng." Fei Xin's face was solemn: "It was the order from the Prime Minister, and Mr. Yin Xia of Kyoto Prefecture personally came to visit."
Su Yu looked a little ugly, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "How many people are here?"
"Master Xia only brought two officers here."
"Let him come here and see with his own eyes whether Qin Shaoqing's injury can go to Kyoto Mansion?" Su Yu snorted coldly: "If you have anything to ask, come here and ask."
Su Yu is the minister of Dali Temple and one of the nine ministers of the empire. Naturally, he will not take the governor of Kyoto seriously.
Fei Xin hurriedly retreated, and Su Yu asked Qin Xiao: "Why do you think the Prime Minister didn't ask the Ministry of Punishment to come to you?"
"The Ministry of Punishment and our Dali Temple are already at loggerheads. If the Ministry of Punishment comes to visit, the Prime Minister is worried that I will fight with them." Qin Xiao smiled and said: "After all, I dared to kill the Prince of Bohai with one knife. How can the Blood King of Hell from the Punishment Ministry be able to do it?"
What will happen to me? The Prime Minister is worried that the matter will get too big and the situation cannot be dealt with."
Su Yu said with a smile: "You are right. When the Ministry of Punishment comes to arrest people, Dali Temple will definitely not give in. Once the commotion breaks out, people all over the capital know about it, and chaos may indeed occur. The Prime Minister is going to give the Bohai people
An explanation, you can't kill Prince Bohai, the court will be indifferent."
Xia Yanzhi, the governor of Kyoto, came to Zuo Qing's office, holding a small box in his hand. As soon as he entered the door, he put the box on the table and said with cupped hands: "Master Qin stepped forward to win glory for the country. It is really impressive."
I admire you. How is your injury? I have brought you a wonderful healing medicine, which is most effective for wounds of the flesh. Please accept it, Your Majesty."
He was smiling and very polite.
For many years, the Kyoto Prefecture has always followed the lead of the Ministry of Punishment. Lu Junzhong said one thing, but Xia Yanzhi did not dare to say the other. With the Ministry of Punishment as its backer, the Kyoto Prefecture did not pay attention to Dali Temple for a time.
However, things are different now. Although the Dali Temple today is not completely reborn, due to the existence of Qin Xiao, it has become a troublesome yamen even for the Ministry of Punishment. Naturally, the Kyoto Prefecture does not have the strength to show off its prestige in front of the Dali Temple.
"Excuse me, Mr. Xia, I'm thinking about you." Qin Xiao said, "My arm has just been wrapped, so it's inconvenient for me to return the gift. Mr. Xia, please don't be offended."
"Where is it?" Xia Yanzhi saluted Su Yu again and said, "Sir, Your Excellency has shown his great power. This is not only the glory of your Dali Temple, but also the glory of our entire Tang Dynasty."
Su Yu smiled, raised her hand and said: "Master Xia, please sit down!"
"I won't sit down anymore, I won't sit down anymore." Xia Yanzhi waved his hand and said: "To be honest, I came to visit you today. In addition to delivering medicine to the Lord, I also received an order from Zhongshu Province to ask the Lord to come and sit down. By the way,
A few simple questions."
"Are you going to arrest?" Su Yu's face turned into confusion.
"Absolutely not." Xia Yanzhi said immediately: "Even if I take off the official's head, the official would not dare to arrest the prince. The prince is our hero of the Tang Dynasty. If anyone embarrasses the prince, wouldn't it be against the great Tang Dynasty?
Tang Zuo? Sir, you also know that the Zhongshu Province is the central government office of the imperial court. The orders issued from there are personally ordered by the Prime Minister. Even if the official has ten heads, he will not dare to disobey the order. Really, the official
The only thing I want to do is to ask your lordship to come over and have a seat, and also to ask your lordship and your lordship to understand the difficulties of this subordinate."
Su Yu snorted coldly and said: "Mr.
Mr. Xia’s reputation is at stake.”
"Who says it's not?" Xia Yanzhi said distressedly: "If I let the subordinates choose, even if they go home to farm, they will not get involved in such things." After a pause, he said: "Sir, Sir, other subordinates
Officials dare not say it, but when Sir Alex arrives at the Yamen of Kyoto, he will be treated like a distinguished guest by his subordinates. To say something that shouldn’t be said, Zhongshu Province does this, in fact, to take care of the Bohai people’s face. The Bohai people insist that Sir Sir
If the imperial court did not show any signs of murdering their prince, greater conflicts would inevitably occur in the future. The Duke went to Kyoto Prefecture, which meant that the imperial court was indeed serious about the death of Yuan Gai Wushuang, but the Duke was killed by mistake.
Yuan Gai Wushuang, everyone can testify, then no one can convict the prince, and Kyoto Prefecture does not have this ability. The prince will stay in Kyoto Prefecture for a day or two, and the saint will come back immediately, safe and sound.
Could it be that because of a mere Prince of Bohai, the saint would still convict the lord?"
Qin Xiao smiled and said: "Master Xia's words do make some sense."
"This is just a showmanship." Xia Yanzhi felt relieved after hearing Qin Xiao's calm tone: "If the lord doesn't come over, it will be difficult for the imperial court to advance or retreat on the Bohai people's side, and someone will also slap a protest order on the lord.
I sincerely say that this is not necessary." Facing Su Yu, he said respectfully: "Sir, please tell me if this is the case."
Su Yu thought for a moment, looked at Qin Xiao and asked, "What do you mean?"
"If the saint wants to punish me, it will be useless for me to flee to the ends of the earth." Qin Xiao stood up: "If the saint thinks that I am innocent, I will be safe and sound wherever I am. Sir, what Sir Xia said is absolutely true, why should I
Charged with resisting an order? Go to Kyoto Prefecture and sit there for two days, just in time to take a break. Maybe you can have tea with Mr. Xia and wait for the saint's decree."
"There is tea, there is tea." Xia Yanzhi breathed a sigh of relief, "There is everything. As long as the Lord opens his mouth, Kyoto Prefecture will serve him with all his strength."
