Chapter 354

A man is sitting on a chair with a tea cup in his hand. He looks relaxed and complacent. He is wearing a gorgeous dress, embroidered with a symbol of the royal family, and hung with a green jade pendant around his waist, which shows his extraordinary identity.

The killer in black knelt down in front of him, pulled off the veil on his face, bowed his head respectfully and said, "second prince, the matter has been settled. The Duke of Meng has gone to the Xiao family. It is inevitable that the two families of Xiao Meng will form a feud."

The second prince hooked the corner of his lips, picked his eyebrows and looked at the man in black. He slowly put down the tea cup in his hand: "it's very good. It's good to tell King Jingkang that it's time to get ready."

"Yes, I do."

After the man in black left, the second prince stood up and said to the bodyguard behind him, "you must keep an eye on the Meng and Xiao families. If you have any action, report it to the king immediately. Do you know?"

"I understand. Would you like to ask the Lord if you want to add fire? Just one leg, I'm afraid it's not enough to make Xiao and Meng really feud. "

"Hum..."

The second prince sneered: "don't worry. Meng zhantang is a famous protector. If this can't arouse the hatred between him and the Xiao family, it's not impossible to kill Meng heting directly."

……

On the court hall, civil and military officials worship the men on the Dragon chair one after another.

Meng zhantang and Xiao Hong were among them, and they reported to the emperor one after another.

Some people say that the Yamen below the capital do nothing and forcibly rob people's women from time to time.

Some people say that the drought in the north of the capital makes the people miserable.

Some people also say that the border war is tight and more troops need to be sent to reinforce it.

Listen to one by one, one by one have to deal with things immediately, the emperor subconsciously frowned, eyes full of distress.

When everyone had the chance to say what he thought was the most important thing, Meng zhantang took a thousand steps and bowed to the emperor respectfully.

"When I begin to play the emperor, the eldest son of the old minister's family has recently been broken a leg, so the evidence shows that it was the third son of the Xiao family. However, marquis Xiao refuses to admit it. Even the old minister who wants to confront the third son of the Xiao family face-to-face is refused, and he asks the emperor to make the decision for the old minister."

The emperor took a deep breath, first slightly stunned, then helplessly shook his head: "Xiao Hou, is this really true?"

Originally, it was common for officials above the court to blame each other, but at this time it was very important. Meng zhantang's eldest son was broken and had to mediate, otherwise it might turn into an internal struggle in the court.

Naturally, all the people in the court were loyal to the emperor, but as a marquis, Xiao Hong naturally had many people supporting him.

The same is true of the Meng family. The emperor knows all these things, but he can't stop them. As long as they are loyal to the imperial court, they will go.

It's inevitable for officials to form gangs. Xiao Hong is in a high position, and Meng zhantang is the Duke of Teng. If they have a grudge, they can't be underestimated.

If it's just a second grade official who wants to talk about he Xiaohong, the emperor will take charge of all the officials, and the Xiao family will deal with everything.

Xiao Hongzhen was determined to bow to the emperor and said, "I tell the emperor that the Duke of the state of Meng is just making a promise. The dog has just returned from Yangzhou, and even the servants of the Xiao family can't fight. How can he break the leg of the eldest son of the Meng family?"

"It's just nonsense. Besides, even the eldest son of Duke Meng has never seen with his own eyes that it was the dog who did it. He clearly wanted to plant it deliberately."

Meng zhantang didn't let him. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Hong. His eyes were full of disdain: "how can Xiao Hou say that he is also a genuine product? Does your son have to make such a thing in front of the emperor?"

Xiao Hong looked coldly at Meng zhantang: "the Duke of Meng should stop making trouble without reason. I'm afraid you know better than anyone why your eldest son's leg was broken."

"Blame this matter on my son for no reason. I'm afraid you don't have to tell me. The emperor knows very well."

The emperor frowned and watched the quarrel between them become more and more fierce. He quickly stopped them and said, "well, since the two love ministers have different opinions, it's up to the criminal division to find out."

"In the end, the right and wrong, will naturally give two love Qing an account."

Xiao Hong clasped his fist and said, "I'm willing to listen to the emperor's arrangement. I'm not afraid of the devil's call."

Seeing this, Meng zhantang agreed: "according to the emperor's words, the criminal division will find out everything. The black can't be white, and the white can't be black. However, no matter who does it, I hope it can be done by the old minister himself. Please give me your permission."

The emperor closed his eyes thoughtfully and took a deep breath: "the Duke of Meng doesn't need to worry. Once he has eyes, he will give you an explanation."

"If you have something to play, you have nothing to retreat."

After the emperor left, the civil and military officials left the court one after another.

Officials in twos and threes gathered to discuss the affairs of Xiao and Meng.

Some believe that it was the three sons of the Xiao family, while others hold an attitude of disbelief.

Over the years, the two families have been in peace, and it is impossible for them to suddenly surge in contradictions, even breaking Meng heting's leg in the end.

When Xiao Hong left the palace, he knew very well that even if there was a prison department involved, the Meng family would not stop.

He couldn't have known better what Meng zhantang was like.

Nevertheless, Xiao Hong was not afraid. No matter what his official position was, he was just a false name.

He did not believe that Meng zhantang would really have a grudge with the Xiao family because of this.

That will only be the shame of the Meng family, and the final result will be fruitless.

There are three sons in the Meng family. They are all arrogant and domineering. As the elder brother, Meng heting's legs are broken, so they will not give up.

When Xiao Hong came back to Xiao's house, he heard that the shop where Xiao put the rent was smashed.

He didn't expect that the Meng family's action was so fast, but what made him frustrated was that no one was willing to stand up and prove that all this was done by the Meng family.

As one of the best family fights in the capital, naturally no one would like to be involved, and more people choose to turn a blind eye.

Once involved in their own, they can not afford small households.

Xiao Hong threw the tea cup directly in his study, and his eyes were full of resentment: "it's really unreasonable. Meng zhantang really has the courage to provoke me."

Bai came forward and comforted: "master, what should we do now? Those tenants whose shops have been smashed can't ignore it. "

Xiao Hong stood with a negative hand, half squinting his eyes and said coldly, "all the losses are borne by the Xiao family. They can't bear such losses. If not, no one will rent our shop in the future."

"But if the Meng family does this, I must report it to the emperor. I want to see what storm he can bring out."
