Chapter 146 Killing Three Birds with One Stone



Xiao Shizhong was getting a little impatient waiting at the door. He just went in to pick up someone, and didn't tell Xia Changqing too much about the identity of the little eunuch. It was reasonable to take him away and beat him up first...

Just as he was about to go in to find out what was going on, Xing Bang came out with a smile on his face: "It's really Lord Xiao, please come in!"

"you…"

Having said that, Xing Bang turned around and went back to the room. Xiao Shizhong, very confused, quickly followed him.

"Your Highness, why are you here?"

After entering the house, Xiao Shizhong was even more surprised than Xia Changqing just now. It was really like seeing a ghost...

"Uncle, it's really you. Reporting me? You are really evil!"

"Your Highness, it's not what you think. How could your uncle possibly harm you?"

Xiao Shizhong was immediately panicked. If the Queen knew about this, she would definitely scold him severely. It was too ridiculous to tell anyone about this.

"The facts are before my eyes. What else is there to explain? You are a dignified Minister of War, but you put aside your official duties and brought Xia Changqing to watch me make a fool of myself, right?"

"Your Highness, I really didn't know you were here. I thought you were the only one here..."

Xiao Shizhong hurriedly explained and didn't care about anything else. What kind of report was it? He just came to arrest Xing Bang.

Liu Jing was a little confused. He had drunk a lot of wine and his brain was not working so well.

"Master Xiao, we were just talking, why did you suddenly do this? It seems like we have no grudges against each other, right?"

"this…"

Xiao Shizhong didn't know how to explain it for a moment.

"Yes, uncle, you know what's going on with the little guy, why are you bothering him?

Besides, you have spent most of the day here at the Jiaofangsi..."

Liu Jing directly pointed out Xiao Shizhong's predicament.

"Your Highness, I drank two more cups...I am now seeing things."

Xiao Shizhong knew that this would not end well, and it was impossible for him to take the Xing Bang away from his nephew, so he simply took a step back. Even if his nephew took advantage of his seniority, he believed that he would not make things difficult for him.

Liu Jing thought that he should just let it go, and was about to ask Xiao Shizhong to leave...

Xing Bang spoke first, "Your Highness, since Lord Xia has come with such a large force, and there are more than one or two officials here, as a prince, you should enforce the law impartially and help His Majesty relieve his worries when you see such a thing."

"Moreover, Sixth Prince, you are here to do your duty according to the decree of His Majesty. You just came here to secretly visit the Jiaofang Bureau. The Minister of Rites is also aware of it. I didn't expect to find that some officials were so corrupt..."

Now that the fight has come to a head, we can't just let it go. You, Xiao Shizhong, must suffer.

Xing Bang's words were very clear, and Liu Jing could understand such a simple truth. Everyone present could understand the deeper meaning. In a word, Liu Jing should do his job impartially, and it would also be beneficial. His Majesty would praise him when he knew it, and the Queen would be even happier when she knew it. Our Sixth Prince is finally doing his job properly.

He was so selfless and caring about the country, but he actually attacked his own uncle...

There are naturally no taboos in using the Xing Bang. I believe Liu Xian would be happy if he knew about it. He must be very happy to see the internal fighting among Empress Xiao's people and the collapse of their own accord.

This is definitely a good thing to kill two birds with one stone...

If it can punish and intimidate the father and son of the Xiao family, the Queen can say it is a self-torture tactic, and it can also please the Emperor, so why not do it!

When Xiao Shizhong left angrily, Xing Bang thought that he would not let it go. He did not expect that the person was from Shuntian Prefecture. So he took advantage of the situation and let Xiao Shizhong shoot himself in the foot.

People cannot just talk without practicing, they must take actual actions to prove that they are completely trustworthy and that their methods are sophisticated. Then Liu Xian and Empress Xiao will value them more.

Xiao Shizhong hated Xing Bang so much that his teeth itched, but he had no way to express his pain. Xing Bang was just a secret visit under the pretext of being a legitimate person, and he was his own nephew. He was helpless...

Liu Jing was not interested in these things at first, but there was nothing wrong with what the little Korean said. For the sake of his mother, he could also show off his reputation. He had never done anything decent.

With this in mind, Liu Jing decided to listen to Xing Bang and have his way. Uncle, I'm sorry, but I can't take your life anyway.

"Master Xia, according to the laws of Dayao, how should officials be punished for coming to the Jiaofangsi for entertainment under such circumstances?"

"Your Highness, according to the law, the court should be beaten with forty sticks..."

Xia Changqing's lips trembled as he spoke, and he would never come in the daytime again.

Xiao Shizhong's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. It seemed that he was going to be humiliated. He kept cursing Xing Bang in his heart...

Liu Jing looked to Xing Bang for help in uncertainty, and Xing Bang whispered in his ear.

"Is this... okay? Isn't it a bit..."

"Everything depends on your highness's decision!"

Xing Bang was really speechless. Who are you asking, you idiot?

Liu Jing made up his mind and said immediately: "Xia Changqing, take your men to arrest all the officials of the Jiaofangsi and have them wait at the gate. Then send two people with loud voices to beat the gong to attract more people nearby..."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Xia Changqing secretly exclaimed that this method was cruel enough. Fortunately, he was not involved, otherwise it would be very embarrassing. At the same time, he began to murmur in his heart, even the Sixth Prince obeyed his orders, how could he be called an ordinary eunuch?

However, he now understood that the powerful Lord Xiao was tricked by a eunuch. One can imagine how powerful this eunuch is. He must not mess with him in the future...

Xiao Shizhong could only glare at Xing Bang fiercely. Everything had been explained, and it was no use pleading with his nephew. He really couldn't understand why the Queen and the Sixth Prince trusted this little eunuch so much.

I could actually listen to him and let my dear uncle's face be rubbed on the ground...

It's fucking weird!

Huh? No!

Xiao Shizhong suddenly realized something and hurriedly said to Liu Jing: "Your Highness, I am just passing by and doing my routine work. You have to take care of your uncle." He thought of denying it. Others could not do anything about it. You, the Sixth Prince, should at least give your uncle some face, right?

"this…"

"Your Highness, now that the matter has been decided, we cannot abandon it halfway. If you release the uncle, it will be unfair and you will be criticized. I believe that many officials here know what happened to Lord Xiao, and these two maids are also witnesses. Even if they come before His Majesty, they will not be able to deny it..."

"Cuihong, Qingmei, you can't lie in front of His Highness. Can you testify?"

The two girls nodded decisively...

Sure enough, not stupid at all!

Xing Bang smiled knowingly and thought, let's see how you, Xiao Shizhong, can get away. Just enjoy the beating in the court under the watchful eyes of everyone.

"Uncle, at this point, I can no longer protect you..."

What Xing Bang said were all hard truths, so Liu Jing naturally wouldn't refute anything.

"Um, Eunuch Xing, can Xiao have a word with you alone..."

Xiao Shizhong had no choice but to give in. The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it.
