(At the beginning of the third volume, we really enter the big world. The Taixue Palace, the Great Yi Sect, and demons and ghosts will all appear in this volume.)
After listening to Su Hong's suggestion, Princess Ruyang did not hesitate and headed to the nearest government office in the border area as quickly as possible.
When the officials knew that the old man was Tang Xin, they were all shocked, and then they wanted to arrest Ruyang and send him to Jingwuhou Mansion to gain a favor.
But when Ruyang revealed his identity as Princess Ruyang, these people looked at Princess Ruyang with fear in their eyes.
To be able to make Tang Xin look like this, this woman is so vicious...
There were no accidents. The results of the exchange between Su Hong and Princess Ruyang were flawless. Everything seemed to be what really happened.
Tang Xin was corrupt and perverted the law, and devoured twenty thousand taels of silver from the imperial court. If not, why did Tang Xin go to the border alone?
Once the matter was defined, Tang Xin had no right to quibble, because he could not even speak. He had to admit almost any crime that was placed on him.
No one will worry about this mute Coptis.
Because he went directly to the border without approval, even the steward of Marquis Jingwu was unreasonable and there was no accident.
When Tang Xin was imprisoned in a cell, his whole body and muscles were destroyed, and he was invaded by the Yin Qi of the cell. His old body could not hold up in less than three days and died suddenly.
Within prison.
…
…
Su Hong said goodbye to Hong Ze, explained the affairs of the general department, and hurried back to Kyoto with Princess Ruyang.
official way.
Two horses, one black and one white, ran forward at extremely fast speeds.
The raised dust directly dragged two long tracks. Along the way, Su Hong and Princess Ruyang rarely stayed. When they were hungry, they ate dry food.
Unless the two horses can't stand it anymore, they will stop and rest for a while, and then continue on their way.
The original trip of more than ten days was shortened by nearly half.
They are racing against time to get back before the news of Tang Xin's death reaches Kyoto.
Su Hong and Princess Ruyang knew very well that if they came back late, the news of Tang Xin's death would spread back to Kyoto, which would immediately cause an uproar.
With Marquis Jingwu's methods, they will definitely be sealed outside the city gate and not allowed to enter. The lightest punishment will be to abolish their own cultivation, and the most serious one will be that they must die.
No matter whether it is the lightest or the most serious punishment, Su Hong cannot accept it.
He had to take advantage of the time when no one had reacted, and report the approval of Tang Xin's conviction at the border directly to the imperial court, so that he could be righteous and justified, and put an end to Marquis Jingwu's idea of abolishing his own cultivation.
"Hush!"
"Hush!"
When the two horses were about to enter Kyoto, the gatekeepers stopped them.
"It is not allowed to ride horses in Kyoto, but you two still look down and lead the horses for a walk..."
"Be bold!"
Su Hong looked at the gatekeeper, scolded him directly, used the flying yaksha to create an illusion, slightly confused him, and then spoke with awe-inspiring aura.
This sound was so majestic that even though the gatekeepers had experienced hundreds of battles, they were slightly stunned and took half a step back.
After taking half a step out, all the gate guards were stunned.
Their leader would only be so 'discourteous' in front of Marquis Jingwu. How could his leader be so impolite in front of a junior who is less than 20 years old?
For a moment, they couldn't help but take a second look.
It was just okay not to look at it, but when they looked at it, they were all shocked. But at this time, Su Hong continued to speak.
"I am the Young Marquis of Jingwu, and this is the Princess of Ruyang next to me. I am riding into Beijing today to meet the emperor and report important military information. If you block it and delay this important event, can you bear the crime?
, why don’t you get out of the way quickly and let us two in!”….
"Get out of the way!" Princess Ruyang also shouted sweetly.
"Little Marquis, Princess, please!" The guard guard gave way to the passage. Su Hong no longer hesitated. The two of them glanced at each other and rode straight to the palace.
"Look, who are those men and women? They are actually riding horses directly in Kyoto. How brave they are."
"Yeah, why didn't the officers and soldiers arrest them..."
"Stupid, these two people must be dignitaries of the imperial court, otherwise you would think~"
"Wait a minute, those two people look so familiar, I think I've seen them before somewhere..."
"..."
Su Hong and Princess Ruyang filtered out the surrounding sounds, and within half a day, they appeared in the palace.
…
…
Jingwuhou Mansion.
Back garden.
The eldest lady is sitting under the pavilion, surrounded by lotus flowers and snow lotuses in bud, hiding like a shy girl.
On both sides were two little maids. One of the maids was squatting. Next to her was a stove of coals. Whenever the temperature in the stove was not enough, she would throw a small piece of coals into it to get rid of the chill.
The other maid, holding cakes in her hands, stood quietly beside the eldest lady.
The eldest lady was drinking tea and eating small cakes. The day was quite pleasant. At this moment, she saw a young man coming in a hurry, and her expression couldn't help but change.
"Madam." The young man came to the eldest lady and bowed slightly.
"What's important?" The eldest lady frowned, with an ominous premonition.
"Letter from the border, saying, saying..." The young man stopped mid-sentence, and glanced at the eldest lady, wondering whether he should continue speaking.
"Go on." The eldest lady swallowed the cake in her mouth and said.
"Butler Tang, he's dead——"
After the young man finished speaking, he felt a coldness suddenly hit him around him. Looking at it, he saw a look of anger on the face of the eldest lady. For a moment, he was trembling and did not dare to speak.
"Tang Xin, he's dead. Tang Xin is actually dead. How did he die? How did he die? Tell me!"
When the young man heard this, he immediately knelt down and said, "I also heard from hearsay that it seems that the young master did it. Butler Tang looked so miserable when he died, and he died in a cell in the end. No one took care of his funeral arrangements."
…”
"Hmph, that bastard is really getting more and more aggressive, and now he doesn't take the affairs of the Marquis Mansion seriously at all!"
The eldest lady spoke coldly, but suddenly said, "Tingqi, is the Marquis in the house?"
When a maid next to her heard this, she quickly knelt down and said, "Master Hou has been staying in the study since he returned to the mansion three days ago and has never come out."
"Oh?" The eldest lady was stunned for a moment, but she didn't care. Then she stood up and said, "Come on, follow me to the study!"
"Slave, please obey."
…
…
"What? Hong'er killed Tang Xin. It's not good. If the Marquis knows about this, Hong'er will be destroyed. I can't just sit back and do nothing. If he calls me 'Second Mother', I have the obligation to stop him."
Be hurt.”
The second lady was only the first lady to know the news, but she also had trouble sleeping and eating, so she said to the maid next to her.
