"Yes, I obey my orders." Meng Tan looked at the faint smile on Zhong Zhiling's face and couldn't help but laugh too.
"Your Majesty, are you here?" Jiang Bairen saw Zhong Zhiling coming in and rushed forward to greet him. He bowed and said in salute, "Jiang Bairen, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, has met the prince and respectfully invites you to Jin'an."
"Get up," Zhong Zhiling nodded and entered the main hall. He looked at the room, which had no windows and was much higher than the ordinary room. For a long time, he looked at a row of pictures hanging on the wall. Whips and other execution tools, nodded, and then said to Jiang Boren slowly, "What? I am the king here today? According to the law, shouldn't the Ministry of Punishment be the chief judge for such a serious crime? ?Why don’t you see anyone from the Ministry of Punishment?”
"Your Majesty, Long Live the Lord has said it, let alone others. This crime will be tried by you, Your Majesty, with full authority," Jiang Boren said hurriedly, adding at the same time, "Regardless of life or death."
"Okay, bring this person up." Zhong Zhiling said calmly, turning around and sitting on the Taishi chair.
"Yes, I obey my orders." Jiang Bairen bowed and said, while he was so busy that he sent someone down to take care of them.
"Your Majesty, please have some tea." Jiang Bairen diligently brought the tea up.
Zhong Zhiling looked at the lingering and stretched tea leaves in the cup, and looked at Jiang Bairen with his lips curled up: "Is this Taiping Houkui originally a top-quality tea, or is Commander Jiang's skill in cooking tea superb? This is the first time that I have met a tea cooker. Better than Mr. Zhao."
"Your Majesty made a ridiculous compliment, and my subordinates made a fool of themselves." Jiang Bairen hurriedly apologized with a smile.
Zhong Zhiling gathered the tea, then brought it to her mouth and took a sip. She raised her head and looked at Jiang Bairen: "Since Long Live Lord allows this king to have full jurisdiction over the trial, please ask Commander Jiang to recuse himself."
"This..." Jiang Boren suddenly looked embarrassed. He never expected that Zhong Zhiling would have such a request.
"I will personally report the results of the trial to Lord Long Live. Okay, please step aside." Zhong Zhiling put down the tea cup and waved to Jiang Boren.
"Yes, I will retire first." Jiang Bairen had no choice but to bow and agree. When he turned around, he saw that Xu Chengjin had been escorted up. He immediately ordered people to keep Xu Chengjin behind, and then he retreated with a group of royal guards. .
"Cousin, we meet again," Zhong Zhiling looked at the haggard man kneeling on the ground, who was already thin and disfigured, and said calmly, while walking slowly over, "Cousin, remember the last time we met, we were three Fourteen years ago."
"Old Seven! Old Seven! You have to save me!" Xu Chengjin, who was originally like a puddle of mud, became excited as soon as he saw clearly who was standing in front of him, and moved his hands and feet towards Zhong Zhiling. Climbing over, the harsh sound of handcuffs and shackles rubbing against the floor tiles echoed in the room for a while. The man who had suffered so many heavenly sins spent a lot of effort and finally crawled to Zhong Zhiling. He firmly grasped Zhong Zhiling's hem with both hands. He raised his head and looked at the five-clawed dragon on his body, and said anxiously, "Old Qi! You have to save me! You have to save my cousin!"
"Cousin?" Zhong Zhiling raised his lips sarcastically, as if he had heard a joke. He lowered his head and looked at Xu Chengjin's haggard and excited face, and said slowly, "How about cousin?" Remember, thirty-four years ago, when my cousin was about to leave Beijing, how did he ask for help from his cousin? What did his cousin say that time? And then... what did he do?"
"I..." Xu Chengjin seemed to have been hit in the head. His lips were trembling. He obviously had something to say, but as soon as he met Zhong Zhiling's gloomy eyes, he couldn't say it again. He silently He lowered his head and watched Zhong Zhiling turn around to leave. He was so busy that he grabbed Zhong Zhiling's hem again and said hoarsely, "Old Qi! What can I do at that time? I know you and Siyao Lang I love my concubine, but, but the emperor has fallen in love with her! What can I do? The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers! The whole world belongs to the emperor, he wants Siyao, what can I do? Dare you stop me? Could it be that if it happened to you and Siyao, I would... have to bear the king's wrath and be buried with the Xu family?!"
