The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 182
Cao Lang immediately interrupted him, and asked in a cold voice: "Lord Fang, our family asked you that hundreds of people died unexpectedly, and you still said it was a trivial matter? At the foot of the emperor, in the first benevolent area, can you really do something like this? Can you afford it?"

When Fang Maochun came, he only heard that it was Xie Xi who summoned him. The person who summoned him didn't say what it was. He thought it was Xie Xi, the absurd prince, who was living here and was waiting for his rescue, so he deliberately put on a show.

According to Cao Lang, he suddenly woke up, turned his head to look, and noticed the dead bodies strewn about in the medicine field, as well as the disgusting smell.

Cold sweat broke out on Fang Maochun's forehead. If it was a murder of hundreds of people, not to mention that I, a small Jingzhao government official, would not be able to bear it even if I went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple.

Shili Town is also the boundary of Jingzhao Mansion, and if such a murder case happened, the charge of ineffective jurisdiction would be confirmed.

If there was room for cover-ups in normal times, now that Dongchang had stepped in, he could only deal with it with all his energy.

When he was flustered, he wanted to explain to Cao Lang, Xie Xi walked over from the side, and said sharply, "Master Fang, you are really great! My king reported the case to you, and you actually delayed it until now." Come on, could it be that this king's status is not enough, please don't move this great Buddha of yours?"

Fang Maochun suddenly remembered that there was still Xie Xi present here, and he only cared about talking to Cao Lang, ignoring the prince of the dynasty, which was not a small crime, and immediately his legs became weak, his hands shook, and he said: "On the way to the official Something was delayed, so I arrived later, please forgive me, my lord."

As he spoke, he fell to his knees with a plop, and kowtowed to Xie Xi repeatedly for mercy.

Xie Xi changed his usual hippie smile, and said in a stern voice: "This capital city has become a den of bandits! Look here, in broad daylight, there are hundreds of lives. Fortunately, this king is fine. If something happens, you will be punished by the nine clans." It's not enough to pay for my life!"

Xie Xi's words were confusing and unceremonious.Fang Maochun was scared out of his wits, and said with a pale face: "This official is negligent! This official is negligent! Your Highness, please hold your hand high and let this official die!"

"It's not that the king let you live, it's you who left a life for yourself!"

Xie Xi suddenly lowered his voice, and said, "What do you think should be done if something like this happened in your Jingzhao Mansion's jurisdiction?"

Fang Maochun didn't understand what Xie Xi meant, so he wanted to be filial to him?
But Cao Lang was by his side, every move here must have spread to the emperor in a blink of an eye.

Even if you want to blackmail yourself, you should find a place where no one is around. Xie Xi is too bold and reckless!
Fang Maochun looked up at Cao Lang, trying to get some clues from his expression.

Cao Lang had a narrow smile in his eyes, which made Fang Maochun even more flustered.

Fang Maochun also knew that he was a disciple of Lu Zhiyuan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and Cao Lang was the godson of Eunuch Cao, the supervisor of ceremonies.

On weekdays, the cabinet and the supervisor of ceremonies were tit-for-tat, and he belonged to Lu Shangshu's party, so Cao Lang naturally wanted to seize this opportunity to make use of it.

Fang Maochun felt that it was extremely unlucky, he must have forgotten to burn incense when he went out today, not only angered Xie Xi, but also encountered the evil star Cao Lang.

He scolded Xie Xi bloody in his heart, but he also had to admit that what happened here in Shili Town was really appalling. Fortunately, he rushed over today, and asked the court when he turned around. too passive.

When things got to this point, Fang Maochun made up his mind in an instant.Xie Xi is just an idle vassal who has nothing to do with his own future, so he doesn't need to pay too much attention to it.

The most important thing is not to offend the evil star Cao Lang.

Fang Maochun said to Cao Lang with a smile: "Little Eunuch Cao, what happened on the ground in Jingzhao Mansion, the lower officials are duty-bound, but when you come here, Eunuch, the lower officials should be the only ones to look after you."

Cao Lang glanced sideways at Xie Xi, and said with a smile: "Lord Fang, what you said is wrong, our family is just a servant girl, and I usually serve by His Majesty's side, and I am not good at investigating and solving cases." .There is His Highness King Dun here, you should talk to him, or, you should write a report and submit it to the Ministry of Punishment?"

Xie Xi has never had any contact with the Six Departments and Nine Ministers, even if he is asked to investigate, no one will pay attention to him in the future; the Ministry of Punishment lacks an official, and it is still a mess. Cao Lang said this, nothing more than a run on Fang Maochun to express his position.

Fang Maochun cursed "eunuch" in his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, how can you bother Your Majesty with such mundane matters? I have little knowledge, so I may delay the time to solve the case. Please, Mr. Cao, take charge of the overall situation. Don't give up."

"Master Fang said so, then our family has no choice but to seriously refuse."

A smug smile appeared on the corner of Cao Lang's mouth, he leaned over and said to Xie Xi: "Dongchang handles the case, please take your people to avoid it, Your Highness."

Xie Xi snorted coldly, but did not answer Cao Lang, and said coldly: "Fang Maochun, I have written it down!"

After Xie Xi finished speaking, he glanced at Lin Zisu, his eyes were unclear, and he said loudly: "Commander Wu, take back the camp and return to Beijing!"

Hearing Xie Xi's call, a short and chubby Forbidden Army leader immediately ordered the Forbidden Army who was still busy in the medicine field to regroup immediately.

Only then did Xie Xi say to Cao Lang: "Cao Lang, today, for the sake of my father, I don't want to accuse you of any serious crime of disrespect. I will leave it to you, but... I have a request."

Cao Lang leaned forward and asked: "Your Highness has any orders, just tell them, and the servants will definitely obey."

Xie Xi pouted at Lin Zisu right away, Lin Zisu didn't expect that Xie Xi could understand what he meant.

She pointed to the old man Wang who had been kneeling on the ground for a long time, and said with a smile: "This old man has lost his son and is alone in this ten-mile town. I think he is pitiful, so I want to take him back to the capital. The lack of some servants who are rough envoys can be regarded as finding a place for him to live in."

After Cao Lang heard Lin Zisu's words, a smile suddenly broke out on his indifferent face.There was a little alienation in the long and narrow eyes, and a little sternness.

"It's easy to say, even if His Highness doesn't say it, our family will let you take him away for the sake of the Conning House."

The sound was neither too fast nor too slow, but it made one's scalp tingle, especially beside the pile of dead people, mixed with a trace of cold wind, as if it came from the ground.

Fang Maochun didn't dare to say much, but just bowed his head respectfully and sent Xie Xi away.

Hearing the sound of cars and horses going away, Fang Maochun couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, but suddenly he heard Cao Lang's cold voice saying: "Heiba, go to the town and find out who is that old man they took away?" origin."
