The story of Princess Xiatang's counterattack

Chapter 539 Take a look, isn't my son clever?
Chapter 539 Take a look, isn't my son clever?
Xia Houqi thought for a while after speaking, "This is the most important thing, he has done a lot of burning, killing and looting."

Xia Houqi knelt on the ground and told what Huo Yantao had done.

Because Huo Yantao's uncle works in the court, although he is not a high-ranking official, Jiangzhou is a small county, and it is far away from the capital. Even a county magistrate is a great existence in Jiangzhou, let alone the nephew of a Beijing official?

Therefore, Huo Yantao had the relationship with Huo Qiguang, and the county magistrate highly regarded him as a guest of honor. Whenever he saw Huo Yantao, he always greeted him with a smile, and wanted to give him a copy of any good things.

This has laid a solid foundation for Huo Yantao to cause disasters in the village. No matter what he does, he does not have to take responsibility, and the county magistrate will automatically and consciously find reasons for him.

It is not easy for people to sue officials, let alone relatives of senior officials, Huo Yantao is treated like a relative of the emperor in Jiangzhou.

If such a product is put in the pile of people, can it be good?
It's like letting a wolf into a herd of sheep.

If the eldest girls and daughter-in-laws in the ten miles and eight towns of Jiangzhou are beautiful, they will not be immune to his misfortune.

It is pleasing to the eye on the street, and they are taken home directly, regardless of whether they are married or not, and who is in the family.

What's more, when faced with someone who refused to obey him, he directly took off his clothes and went parading in the street. There was once a fierce girl who refused to obey him to the death, so he came up with this method. After the girl's fiance heard about it, he ran to Huo Yantao's house to argue.

But not only was he humiliated by Huo Jiading, he was tied up and put on a red shirt, and was hit to death by a cow.

The girl was also defiled in the end and was killed in Huo's house.

Huo Yantao's various evil deeds are countless, Xia Houqi only told what he knew after investigation, and there are countless other things that may be forgotten.

Xia Houqi spoke dryly, and after reporting Huo Yantao's crimes, he continued, "Father, this person has been killed several times, and he has insulted women countless times. If such a disaster is left in Jiangzhou, I'm afraid it will happen in the future." More people have suffered."

"My son also heard about this person when he was playing, so he kept an eye out for people to investigate for a while, and it turned out that what this person did was as rumored. You also know that my son has always been jealous. Hearing this Can things be tolerated?"

Xia Houqi's expression now is exactly the same as when he first heard it, "That's why Erchen went to Jiangzhou on a starry night. I thought there was a reason to get there, but this person can't get through if he doesn't cause trouble for a day, so he directly bumped into Erchen's hand." Li, if the minister doesn't do it, he will be sorry for him!"

After listening to what Xia Houqi said, Xia Houzan understood what was going on, and he said that the youngest son was out of tune, and he was not a fool.

When he looked at Xia Houqi again, his tone softened a lot, "Get up first."

Xia Houqi grinned happily, "Thank you, father."

When he stood up, he hissed a bit, his knees hurt after kneeling for a long time.

Xia Houzan looked at Xia Houqi who was grinning below, and sighed helplessly, "Since the dispatch is clear, why didn't you report it to me first? Don't you know that doing so will make people tongue-tied?"

Xiahou Qi chuckled, "Father, you take care of everything every day, and I can handle such small things, so why bother you."

"Furthermore, let me tell you about this matter, and you have to call officials at various levels to ask. It's not that my son's words are ugly. You know better than my son that officials and officials protect each other. Once the matter is exposed, they will definitely turn it into a big deal. Small, small things become small, and then they will be vigilant, and it will be too difficult to catch them."

Xia Houqi shrugged indifferently, "Anyway, my ministers are always shocking the world and killing people. They will only think that my temper is grumpy and unreasonable. Maybe they can give you a note to complain."

"Hey," Xia Houqi stretched his neck forward, "Look, isn't my son clever?"

"Smart ass!" Xia Houzan glared at him angrily, and couldn't get straight for a while.

Although the words were not good, it was obvious that the alarm had been lifted, and Xia Houzan had believed Xia Houqi's words.

"Look at you, why are you so angry, by the way," Xia Houqi lowered his head, and took out a booklet from his pocket, "They have all played the book, and if they come and go without being indecent, the minister also played them a book , the above is a summary of Huo Yantao's deeds after the investigation by my son, as well as the personnel who protected Huo Yantao and concealed his crimes, take a look."

Zhou Quande hurried down to take the booklet, handed it to Xia Houzan with both hands, "Long live."

Xia Houzan opened it and took a look, and it was indeed the record about the Huo Yantao incident.

Seeing that he had nothing to do, Xia Houqi smacked his lips, "Father, you are busy, and my son is leaving?"

"Go away." Xia Houzan didn't even lift his head.

"Okay!" Xiahou Qi said happily and ran away.

Only then did Xia Houzan raise his head, looked at his back running out of the hall impatiently, shook his head and said with a smile, "Monkey bastard."

Xiahouxian invited Lu Qin and Chu Yanfu to a banquet that night, and today the play of Xiahouqi was played, and the emperor would be furious.

"Go back and thank uncle for me," Xia Houjian said to Chu Yanfu with a smile.

"San Lang is polite, come, let's drink." Sometimes not taking credit is also a means of retreat.

"Success, I'll keep this in mind." Xia Houxian was quite satisfied with Chu Yanfu's attitude.

Lu Qin held it aside and said that he and Chu Yanfu's family had already negotiated, that both would be prosperous, and that no matter who was in power, they had to support each other.

Of course, it would be good if the two families fell into Lord Duan's eyes together.

To be appreciated by future princes, what awaits them is boundless wealth and glory.

The three of them drank until very late before going back home.

Xia Houxian sat in his sedan chair, his head was dizzy, but his heart could not stop being happy.

If he was not mistaken, Ming'er's father would scold Xia Houqi's son in the hall, this little brother who was honored and favored by his mother's family, would fall into trouble.

This recognition made Xia Hou feel unstoppable joy, even in his dream it was a happy event.

On the second day, Xia Houjian stood on the Jinluan Hall full of energy, and sang along with the eunuchs, "The emperor is here!"

The hall was full of civil and military ministers, kneeling on their knees with their robes lifted, shouting long live.

"Everyone is flat." Xia Houzan's majestic voice sounded. After all the ministers stood up, they should have something to play and nothing to retreat.

But today Xia Houzan disrupted the rhythm and asked Zhou Quande to promulgate the imperial edict as soon as he came up.

All the ministers knelt down to obey orders again, the more they listened, the more frightened they became.

Xia Houxian, who had a smile on his lips, seemed to have a smile on his lips. How could this happen?
Did the emperor make a mistake? !
He was also shocked by Chu Nian, the censor of Zuodu, who obviously played Xia Houqi himself, so why were the names of the victims all punished?

Has the emperor protected Xia Houqi to this extent?
Of course, this is not over yet, following Zhou Quande's chorus, "Chu Nian, the censor of Zuodu, will be fined for one year, and Xiahou Qi, the king of Rui, will be rewarded..." Completely draws a successful conclusion to this punishment. .

Chu Nian knelt on the ground and broke out in cold sweat, and Xia Houlian was not much better.

what is the problem?

Who will explain it to them!
