Chapter 543
Shangguan Jin froze when he heard Hu Qiao's words, and was a little surprised that Si Mian attached so much importance to Shangguan Ning.

Although Ning'er is now the Princess of the Holy Majesty, but Si Mian is a noble person and does not admire the powerful. Even when she meets the Empress and Empress Dowager, she is as calm as water, and it can only be called not rude. The little princess with a different surname and no real power is so considerate!

It is understandable for Shangguan Jin to think this way. Although Si Mian has not been an official in the court for a long time, he is highly valued by the emperor. There is a saying in the court that "the imperial minister is a high mountain, and the national teacher is a flowing water", which means that the royal envoy He and the national teacher are now the most valued people by the emperor, and they are bosom friends in the mountains and rivers.

It is strange to say that these two dignitaries who are highly regarded by the emperor have the same problem, that is, they act alone and do not have contact with anyone other than official duties.

How many people have tried their best to get close to two people, but in the end they all returned in vain, and even touched their noses. After a long time, everyone automatically blocked these two people knowingly.

Anyway, everyone's well water does not violate the river water, and it's good to live in peace.

A group of people followed Hu Qiao all the way to the main hall, and every three or four steps on both sides of the road stood a guard with a government stick in his hand, standing there with a serious face and not looking sideways.

Outside the gate, people in twos and threes want to squeeze in to watch the excitement, but they are all afraid of getting into trouble. Everyone looks at each other, dare not look at each other, and their faces are full of confusion.

Shangguan Ning had never been to the lobby in his previous life, so he didn't know what the lobby looked like, so when he came in, he was curious about everything around him.

The lobby is very empty, except for a two-foot-wide camphorwood table in front of it and the "Mirror Hanging High" plaque hanging above the table, there are no other objects in front of us.

There were six high-back listening chairs on each side of the lobby. Looking at the nondescript appearance of the chairs in the hall, Shangguan Ning guessed that these chairs were newly placed today, and they were naturally prepared for a few people including herself. of.

On the innermost side of the lobby, there was a wooden frame that was half the height of a person, with many strange things hanging on it. Although Shangguan Ning couldn't name her, she knew that they were probably instruments of torture.

On the right side of the wooden frame, there was a huge bronze guillotine with intricate patterns engraved on it. Shangguan Ning had seen those patterns on the tree called "soul-suppressing patterns", and they were naturally to appease the prisoners who died under the guillotine. Revenant.

"General Shangguan, please sit down."

Hu Qiao looked very winkingly. Although when he greeted him before, he always said that he was rushing to greet Shangguan Ning, but now he still arranged Shangguan Jin to be the main seat.

The adults in his family deliberately confessed to themselves that they should be respectful to Shangguan Ning and not be neglected in the slightest, but they should be careful not to make people have the slightest suspicion.

Hu Qiao thought that this request from his lord was too much, and it was easy to say, but the few in front of him were a general with a heavy army, a princess who was personally appointed by the emperor, and the remaining two were a former emperor. One of the first-rank madams granted by the imperial pen is the first-rank madam bestowed by the emperor today, and any one of them is a person who can make Qingyun city tremble three times by stomping his feet.

Hu Qiao felt that this task was really tricky, much more difficult than handling cases and arresting criminals.

Fortunately, today, these few people's minds are all on the case that is about to start trial, and no one pays special attention to the so-called status.

"My lord, my lord said that everything is ready, please rest assured, my lord."

While the others were not paying attention, Hu Qiao lowered his voice and said this next to Shangguan Ning.
