Seeing the servant approaching step by step with bared fangs and claws, Cui Sheng became a little panicked. After all, it was he who slept with the man's third concubine.
The old Regent remained silent. Not only was it embarrassing to be beaten, but it also hurt!
However, Xing Bang had no intention of intervening, and Cui Sheng didn't dare to bring it up openly.
In a hurry, "Wu Jingzhi, the matter between you and me can be settled in any way."
"But if you disturb the prince, I will fight you."
As he spoke, he raised his fist with a lack of confidence...
"etc!"
Hearing this, Wu Jingzhi became a little confused. He wondered if the prince was really here, so he quickly called the servants.
Afterwards, I walked past Wu Jingzhi and saw someone vaguely visible through a half-wall screen.
He took two quick steps, leaned over to take a look, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly pulled back.
Pointing at the servants, he said, "All of you, get out first. No one is allowed to come in without my order."
Xie Jinlian is a witness, so Wu Jingzhi naturally wouldn't let her go.
After the servant closed the door and left, Wu Jingzhi walked quickly to Xing Bang, trembling a little, thinking that the nonsense he had just said must have been heard.
I never expected that the Regent was actually in the Jiaofangsi in broad daylight.
It seems like he is really discussing something with Cui Sheng.
Not good!
Wu Jingzhi fell to his knees with a thud, "Your humble servant Wu Jingzhi, kowtows to His Majesty, Your Highness!"
Xing Bang waved his hand, "If you have anything to say, please get up and say it."
At this time, Cui Sheng also came over.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Wu Jingzhi stood up in response, trembling slightly with a guilty conscience.
"Your Majesty, I didn't know you were here. Please forgive me!"
Xing Bang smiled slightly, "Just now outside the door, didn't Cui Yuan say that I was here?"
Wu Jingzhi's face tightened. "Damn you, this humble minister. I really didn't expect that the prince was really here. I thought..."
"What did you think? You thought that I should come at night, right?"
"No, no, that's not what I meant. I..."
Wu Jingzhi waved his hands quickly, but he couldn't explain himself clearly after hesitating for a while. It was not appropriate to come at night, and he wouldn't dare to say anything more even if he had a hundred times the courage.
"Well, Lord Wu, there's no need to make a fuss. I don't have the same hobby as you do. I just had nothing to do and came to see what the Jiaofangsi looks like in broad daylight."
Xing Bang naturally wouldn't tell his real purpose, the best reason he had was to come over for an inspection.
"I know my crime. It was all because of my recklessness. Please punish me, Your Majesty."
Wu Jingzhi had nothing more to say and could not care about anything else. As long as the old prince was not angry, that was enough.
Compared with his own future, let alone a bitch, even his wife and mother are insignificant.
"Well, ignorance is not a crime. I am not the kind of unreasonable person."
Xing Bang waved his hands, "But, why are you mobilizing so many troops to fight Cui Sheng to the death?"
"Your Majesty, it's nothing serious, just a small matter, why bother with your concern."
Wu Jingzhi regained his composure and naturally gained some sense of propriety.
"As the saying goes, family disgrace should not be made public. You came here with your third concubine in such a swagger, wanting to bite Cui Sheng to death. How can this be a small matter?"
"As officials in the same court, we should still be harmonious. Since I have encountered you, I will give you justice."
"Well, call your third concubine over here and have a good talk with her about what's going on."
"I will settle this dispute for you here today to avoid any more trouble."
Soon, Wu Jing called Xie Jinlian over.
Xing Bang took a look and realized that it was no wonder that the two were jealous of each other. Xie Jinlian, who was kneeling with her head slightly lowered, looked like a coquettish woman.
Moreover, she is quite pretty.
Xing Bang continued, "Of course, don't worry, I will never favor anyone and will convince everyone with reason."
"Yes, Your Majesty is wise!"
Wu Jingzhi and Cui Sheng flattered him at the same time.
Xing Bang turned to look at Wu Jingzhi, "Sir Wu, since you are the plaintiff, then you should first tell me what happened."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Wu Jingzhi was not afraid at all because he felt he was right and felt wronged.
"Your Highness, this beast Cui Sheng actually had an affair with my third concubine!"
Hearing this, Cui Sheng's old face turned red, but he did not refute anything.
Xing Bang smiled knowingly. It seemed that he was right. He really hadn't paid attention to these things recently.
From this, he had an idea. In the future, he decided to strengthen the scope of supervisory responsibilities of the East and West factories.
Moreover, he must personally establish an absolutely loyal intelligence network.
Rumors like these must be comprehensive, even down to the details like which concubine these officials sleep with at night.
Xing Bang knew his limits, and immediately asked Wu Jingzhi, "This, I understood it just now."
"I heard from Lord Wu that it has been more than a year. I am very curious, why did you only discover it today?"
Hearing this, Wu Jingzhi coughed lightly, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
However, it's just a little embarrassing, not much. How much face can he have if he can bring his concubine to the scene to ask for an explanation?
"That's right, my lord!"
"I don't know where Cui Sheng got this batch of filthy things from. Now it seems to have spread among those rich ladies secretly, and they are very popular."
"I heard that the price of one is as high as 100,000 taels. Your Majesty, this matter is very serious. You must pay attention to it!"
