Kowloon wins

Chapter 438

"Don't worry, with Master here, nothing will happen, let's go, let's go to the clan mansion together."

Facing Hong Qing's puzzled eyes, Old Sixteen didn't explain much, but just patted his chest carelessly and made a bold promise.

"Brother Qing, don't worry, Brother Sixteen is right, let's go together."

Old fifteen also smiled ambiguously, coordinating with old sixteen and shouting, and put on an appearance of selling out to the end.

Well, what are these two boys doing!

Hong Qing and the fifteenth brother did not have a friendship for a day or two, but a friendship of nearly ten years. I have never heard of the friendship between the sixteenth and Prince Zhuang. If not, the sixteenth brother He wouldn't be beaten into a bedridden state at the clan's mansion. Seeing how confident these two young brothers are, the doubts in his heart inevitably deepened. Just looking at the two young brothers She refused to say it clearly, but Hong Qing didn't want to force her to ask, she had no choice but to shrug her shoulders indifferently, and let the two younger brothers walk towards the clan's mansion surrounded by her.

The Zongren Mansion was originally on the edge of Tiananmen Square, and it was just across the square. At this time, there were no people at the gate of the yamen, but the next door and the many yamen on the opposite side were full of officials, big and small, one by one. Looking at the direction of the clan's mansion with a strange expression, nothing else, this is Hong Qing's first time to receive punishment at the clan's mansion, it's really rare, the big guy must live a good life.

"Brother Qing, you and Brother Fifteen are waiting here, so I'll go in and get things done right now."

As soon as Fang arrived at the gate of the clan's mansion, the old sixteen immediately left Hong Qing behind, made an expansive confession, and then hurriedly walked into the yamen.

This kid is so carefree everywhere!

Not to mention, Hong Qing was really afraid of the clan mansion, since the old sixteen said so, Hong Qing was happy to wait for a while, even though she didn't have much hope in her heart, she just saved a little Just in case of luck.

"Brother Qing, don't panic. Hey, let me tell you a secret. The old sixteenth will be adopted by Prince Zhuang soon. The imperial decree will be issued in a few days. If he comes out, Prince Zhuang will have to show some face no matter what. Don't worry. alright."

After all, Old Fifteen couldn't bear to see Hong Qing's nervousness, so he moved closer to Hong Qing's ear, and muttered in a low voice.

Eh, there is still such a thing?Damn it, Mr. Ganqing has planned it long ago. Is this just to scare us?
Hearing what Old Fifteen said, Hong Qing's tense heartstrings were naturally a little loose, but when he thought of Prince Zhuang's stern and selfless face, he couldn't help but feel a little bit drummed in his heart, nothing else, is this a matter of public torture? However, the pain of flesh and blood is still a trivial matter. Hong Qing's hard training in martial arts since childhood was not in vain. It definitely doesn't matter much, but I'm afraid I'm going to lose all my face just because of it.

"Qing Baylor, please!"

As soon as the old sixteen left, he didn't see him back, but a squad leader came out of the yamen with two yamen servants, without any nonsense, he just waved his hand at Hong Qing blankly and said please.

Damn, old sixteen is unreliable in his work, well, even his shadow is gone, fuck me!
Seeing that all the people from the clan's mansion had come forward, but the old sixteenth was gone forever, Hong Qing couldn't help muttering in her heart, but no matter how much she muttered, this yamen had to be entered With no other choice, Hong Qing could only take a deep breath, force herself to suppress her throbbing heartbeat, and walked slowly into the yamen.

"Ascension!"

The posture of trial in the yamen has already been set up, dozens of yamen servants are holding water and fire sticks, standing in two rows, as for the copywriting office in the middle of the lobby, it is still empty, but Hong Qing didn't wait long, and then He knelt down in the hall, but when he heard a shout from the back hall, Prince Zhuang, who was in neat court attire, slowly turned out from the back hall.

"mighty……"

As soon as Prince Zhuang arrived, the servants who were neatly lined up in the hall immediately moved after hearing the order, shouting prestige, while hitting the ground with water and fire sticks in their hands, amidst the neat sound, a murderous aura suddenly rose.

"Who is kneeling in the hall?"

Prince Zhuang sat down expressionlessly, and immediately picked up the gavel placed in the corner of the copywriting, slapped it hard, and let out a majestic sip.

"Dorobeile Hongqing kowtowed to Prince Zhuang."

Hong Qing did not miss the trial of the case, but when it was his turn to be interrogated, even though his mind was calm, his face could not help turning slightly pale, but luckily, he had cultivated his energy deeply enough, so he did not reveal too much strangeness. It was just a peaceful response from the voice line.

"What did you do? Tell me!"

Old Sixteen's guarantee ticket was obviously not very reliable, so Prince Zhuang didn't give Hong Qing any good looks at all, he slapped the gavel again, and drank again harshly.

"mighty……"

Following Prince Zhuang's cessation of drinking, all the yamen servants shouted again, the sound was like thunder, and a huge pressure instantly pressed towards Hong Qing like a mountain.

Grandma is a bear, whether it's a blessing or a curse, if it's a disaster, you can't avoid it, so just do what you like!

Seeing this posture, Hong Qing thought to herself that she would not be able to escape this catastrophe, and she let go of her heart. Then she knelt up straight, and replied calmly: "If you go back to Prince Zhuang, the boy didn't ask for an order. I did visit Thirteenth Uncle privately, and I dare not hide it."

"Well, what is the purpose of your private interview with Brother Thirteen? Tell me!"

Prince Zhuang seemed very satisfied with Hong Qing's attitude of admitting his mistakes calmly, and he didn't hit the gavel again, but asked in a slightly slower tone.

"So that Prince Zhuang knew that the boy was close to the thirteenth uncle, and he was locked up for some reason. The boy couldn't bear this kind of living crime, so he went to visit him a few times in private, and the boy practiced martial arts since childhood. I am also very interested in the art of war, but I have not made much progress due to the guidance of an unknown teacher, so I will take this opportunity to ask Uncle Thirteen for more advice, other than these two, I have no other intentions."

Having decided that she cannot escape punishment, Hong Qing simply stated the "reason" for the private visit.

"Oh? It's that simple? Why did Naer recommend the thirteenth elder brother to go to Japan? He has ulterior motives, huh?"

Prince Zhuang obviously didn't believe Hong Qing's words, but when he raised his eyebrows, he pointed out the flaws in Hong Qing's words with a cold voice.

"Prince Huizhuang said that the boy's move is only out of public interest and has no other intentions. It is probably because Uncle Thirteen is indeed the best candidate to conquer Dongying. Let him command the army and he will be able to win a complete victory. Other than that, others It may be possible to win if you take command, but it may be a miserable victory, which is really not a blessing for the community."

In the matter of sponsoring the old thirteen, Hongqing certainly has a lot of selfishness in her heart, but those secrets are not for outsiders, and since they cannot be brought to the court, Hongqing can only bite the bullet The old general Shisan praised him very much.

"Is this true?"

Prince Zhuang's expression remained the same, and he asked again in a flat voice.

"That's the truth. It's not because the kid is exaggerating. If Prince Zhuang doesn't believe it, he will know the truth after Nan Haizi's martial arts performance in three days."

In order to ensure that the old thirteen can successfully win the post, Hongqing made a lot of preparations in private. Not only did he give the general information and data of the new firearms to the old thirteen, but he also gave Sun Mingcheng and others The outline of the naval battle that was summarized was also given to Lao Shisan. As far as Lao Shisan's comprehension and martial arts were concerned, a few days of preparation was enough to deal with the old man's assessment and the pickiness of the officials. What is lacking, at this moment, when answering Prince Zhuang's question, he is very confident.

"Well, since you have pleaded guilty, the king will have to deal with it according to the law. Please don't blame Qing Belle on this one."

Prince Zhuang didn't ask any further questions, but stretched out his hand to stroke the long beard on his chest, and spoke slowly.

"Yes, kid understands."

Anyway, they are going to be beaten, and they will lose face. As for how many times they will be hit, Hong Qing doesn't bother to pay attention to so many, and with the preparation in mind, it is very easy to answer.

"That's good, Qingbeile, listen to the sentence!" Prince Zhuang's face was serious, he picked up the gavel and slapped it again, and delivered the sentence majesticly: "The thirteen elder brothers who were arrested for private visits without permission are guilty of sitting together. If you can realize your crime and repent, this king will sentence you to thirty boards, can you accept the sentence?"

Grandma is such an idiot, she still can't escape this board in the end!
Upon hearing the verdict, Hong Qing immediately muttered in her heart, but she didn't raise a defense, but respectfully kowtowed and said, "Boy accept the verdict."

"Well, that's good. You can promote talents for the country, and you can also supervise the manufacture of guns and cannons. You have made great contributions to the community. This king has to reward you for this. However, if you have done it first, you will not be rewarded. Now, the merits and demerits are equalized, and the two are cleared up, so let's go!"

Just when Hong Qing thought that her little butt could no longer be kept, she saw Prince Zhuang stretching out her hand to stroke the long beard on her chest, with a playful smile on the corner of her mouth, and adding said a word.

"what……"

Hong Qing never expected that Prince Zhuang would do such a trick, and she was immediately dumbfounded.

"Why? I'm not convinced, huh?"

Seeing Hong Qing dumbfounded on the spot, the smile on the corner of Prince Zhuang's mouth suddenly became stronger, he raised his brows, and asked in a feigned displeasure.

"The boy accepts the sentence, the boy resigns!"

It is a good thing not to be beaten, no one in the world is willing to ask for a beating, and Hong Qing is no exception, once she came to her senses, she quickly kowtowed, got up and was about to retreat.

"Hahaha……"

Before Hong Qing could stand up straight, a burst of maniacal laughter had already sounded from the back hall, and immediately saw Old Sixteen rushing out triumphantly, pointing at Hong Qing, laughing so hard that he fell down like this. Noisily, the solemn atmosphere in the hall suddenly dissipated, and all the yamen servants in the hall couldn't help laughing, even Prince Zhuang, who had always been strict, couldn't stop laughing until Hong Qing Embarrassed, at the end, I simply laughed too...
