When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 697: Uncle, Are You Too Kind?
The teahouse was unusually quiet at this moment.

No matter whether it was the merchants and common people in the lobby, or the students playing chess upstairs, no one dared to speak loudly.

Even the Dali Temple officials just now did not make them so nervous.

After all, officials from the Dali Temple arrested officials, while the Ministry of Justice was in charge of civilians.

Although Peng Ying and Meng Da had doubts in their hearts, the expressions on their faces remained relaxed.

If you behave uprightly and have not violated any law or discipline, why should you be afraid of the Ministry of Justice?
If anyone told them that the Ministry of Justice wanted to arrest them, they would definitely laugh out loud.

The Ministry of Justice arrested them?

It's simply a horror of slipping the world!

In this year's imperial examination, although they were not the top, they were ranked second and third, which was a top grade! Their future prospects were limitless. Not to mention the officials of the Ministry of Justice, even if the Minister of Justice came, he would have to be friendly!
Therefore, Peng Ying and Meng Da were not nervous at all. Instead, they raised their eyes and looked at the pair of officials from the Ministry of Justice with interest.

They wanted to know what the officials from the Ministry of Justice were going to do.

Unexpectedly, the official from the Ministry of Justice looked around, then climbed the stairs and walked quickly towards Peng Ying Mengda.

Looking at these serious-looking officials, Meng Da suddenly felt something was wrong. An idea popped into his mind that even he himself didn't believe: Could it be that the Ministry of Justice really came for them?
Meng Da looked at Peng Ying with worry and said, "Yongnian, why don't you and I go back to the private room first? I feel a little uneasy and I'm afraid that the person who comes here has bad intentions."

"Hahaha, Zijing, you worry too much. Who are you and I? We are top-notch! The smartest people in this teahouse! I think these officials have heard of our reputation, and it happened that they encountered difficulties in handling the case, and the clues were interrupted in the teahouse, so they wanted to ask us what clues we have found." Peng Ying said confidently, and his confident look seemed full of confidence.

After looking at Peng Ying's expression and thinking about what Peng Ying said, Meng Da's thoughts began to waver.

That makes sense. Isn't there a possibility that the other party came to them to inquire about the case?
Thinking of this, Meng Da felt a lot more at ease.

Seeing the official from the Ministry of Justice approaching, Peng Ying and Meng Da were about to show themselves, but they heard the official from the Ministry of Justice coldly ask, "You are Peng Ying, right?"

"Yes, I am Peng Ying, Peng Yongnian." Peng Ying frowned slightly, wondering why their tone was so strange.
"I'm looking for you, take you away!"

As the words fell, the warriors standing next to the official made their move. The warriors were so fast that before Peng Ying could react, two pairs of rough and powerful hands firmly grasped both of Peng Ying's shoulders.

Meng Da's eyes widened, his face full of confusion. What's going on? What on earth is going on? !
The relaxed expression on Peng Ying's face froze in an instant, and anger instantly surged into his heart. He shouted loudly: "What are you doing! Do you know who I am? I ranked second in the imperial examination! I am a pillar of the country! Let me go!"

"According to investigation, you are involved in cheating in the imperial examination. Come with us. If you are innocent, we will let you go."

"What imperial examination fraud? Impossible, impossible! You guys are slandering me. It makes me so angry! It makes me so angry!"

Not only Peng Ying, but even Meng Da was terrified. He originally thought that he would be locked up for a few days at most, but in the blink of an eye, the charge became cheating in the imperial examination. If this is confirmed, it will be a big deal. Ten Peng Yings will not be enough to sentence him.

No, no, we have to go! If this affects me, it will be a disaster!
Meng Da swallowed and began to back down.

Just as Meng Da was about to leave, a warrior pressed his shoulder and the official said coldly, "You must be Meng Da, come with us."

what?
No? Why do I have to go there too?

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, there must be a misunderstanding!"

The official was too lazy to pay attention to Meng Da and waved his hand, signaling the officials to leave.

The tea drinkers looked at each other and whispered, "This is incredible! This is incredible."

Royal Palace
Listening to the people who came to report, Liu Xie nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad, doing things is just like fighting a war. If you don't move, you must be as steady as a mountain. Once you start, you must strike with the force of thunder and catch the opponent off guard!"

Liu Chan swallowed his saliva, his heart hanging in his throat, "Brother Huanghuang, is it not good to do this?"

"Don't worry, Adou. I have my own considerations. I will make sure those lunatics who dared to shoot Military Advisor Pang and insult the emperor's uncle behind his back to see what the emperor's wrath is!"

"But is it really okay to hide it from Father?"

"Hehe, don't I want to give my uncle a surprise? Adou, don't worry, there's no need to persuade me anymore. I have my own plans in mind!" Liu Chan always felt that Liu Xie's words lacked confidence.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, Prince Yan has entered the palace."

Following the reminder from the palace servant, Liu Chan saw that his brother, the emperor, who was furious a second ago, calmed down the next second. His calm state did not last long, and he became nervous again. He was so nervous that he kept drinking water, but he had to pretend to be calm.

Liu Chan suddenly realized that this was what his third uncle meant by dying for dignity would lead to suffering?

Before Liu Chan could think about it, a roar woke him up.

"Ah-dou-"

Liu Chan shuddered suddenly, and the fear of being dominated by shoes surfaced again, but
Liu Chan looked at Liu Xie's hand covering his buttocks in surprise, and asked in confusion: "Brother Huang, what's wrong with you?"

"I? Haha, nothing, nothing, I just feel a little itchy and want to scratch it." Liu Xie laughed.

"So that's how it is." Liu Chan shrank behind Liu Xie.

Liu Xie was shocked, and the smile he had managed to squeeze out froze on his face. No, Ah Dou, how could you hide behind me? Aren't you asking me to face the wrath of the emperor's uncle alone? !

Although he thought so in his heart, Liu Xie did not pull Liu Chan out after all. He looked at Liu Bei and said, "Uncle, why are you angry? Is there any misunderstanding?"

"Misunderstanding? Your Majesty, please make way for me. This guy is really too bold!"

"Ah? What's so audacious?"

"It's all this guy's fault for misleading others with incomplete information!"

"Incomplete news? What incomplete news?"

As Liu Xie asked, Liu Bei suppressed his anger and explained. It turned out that Liu Chan, who had been to the fairyland, told Zhang Shao that gunpowder could fly, which gave Zhang Shao the idea of ​​tying gunpowder to a chair and flying with the help of gunpowder.

Liu Xie was shocked. The emperor's uncle was talking about Zhang Shao, but actually he was talking about him!

Liu Xie hurriedly told Liu Bei everything he had done. Liu Bei felt mixed emotions, feeling helplessly amused but also somewhat relieved.

After all, Liu Xie was venting his anger for him and Pang Tong, he was just too impulsive.

Liu Bei told Liu Xie about Zhang Ren's affairs in detail. Liu Xie was stunned. This was how things really worked.

"Your Majesty, the crime of Xianxiang Fengchu's death is mine, not Zhang Ren's."

"But uncle, the Dali Temple found out that Zhang Ren was indeed trying to help his friend find a way out."

"Then follow the law, but don't go too far. That's human nature."

"Then cut your salary and give him a minor punishment. By the way, uncle, what about Peng Ying? Did he scold you? Is there any injustice?"

"Peng Ying did scold me. This is what happened."

"what?!"

Seeing that Liu Xie was getting angry again, Liu Bei hurriedly stopped him, "Your Majesty, calm down. Peng Ying is a man of great talent. He ranked second in this year's imperial examination. The affairs of the fairyland are the affairs of the fairyland after all. Nothing has happened yet. Maybe there will be a turning point!"

Liu Xie thought to himself: Uncle, you are too kind, aren't you? If I were him, I would definitely chop this guy into pieces!

Liu Bei sighed: Your Majesty is good in everything except for people like me. You don't care much about outsiders. Alas.

Liu Chan was worried: Father and brother have talked. Are they done?
