She pondered for a long time before saying seriously, "This is the only time. There won't be a next time."

Xie Heng sat opposite to her, his sword-like eyebrows slightly raised, "What are you saying?"

This young man still had an expression of 'it's none of my business', and his face was filled with grievance.

Wen Jiu gently held his hands under his sleeves, and stayed silent for a moment.

Although Xie Heng treated her quite well, he did not forget how shocking his thunderous methods were when he became the Regent in his previous life.

The sound of carriages being sold could be heard as they passed through the long street.

Xie Heng's gaze stayed on her and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed: Could it be that the scene just now disgusted the Miss Wen?

This really wasn't something that could be recovered in a short period of time.

Wen Jiu thought for a while, then said: "Yang Qin is the daughter of the Royal Elder, and she has died in the Duke Palaces. Even though there were a lot of people who came to the birthday banquet, it was not as if they didn't suspect their eldest brother. "Such a great show …"

She paused for a moment, trying her best to be tactful. "It's better if I don't have to worry about it in the future."

After Xie Heng heard this, a bad feeling arose in his heart. He asked softly: "Are you so sure that this matter was done by me?"

"Could he still be a Third Brother?"

Wen Jiu asked.

Third Young Master had not appeared during these few days, so it was hard to say whether or not he was still in Dijing. If this matter was to be blamed on him, it would be too unfair.

Xie Heng lowered his eyes and remained silent.

The carriage fell into silence.

Wen Jiu said with a stern expression: "Elder brother is a great man who stands at the top of the world. Even if it is only the shrewdness of the city, we should still use it on the grand occasion of the imperial court.

These Shangguan daughters were mostly spoiled until their heads were dizzy, regardless of whether they were right or wrong, it all depended on their status.

Wen Jiu had always been outside of the main branch in his previous life, so he didn't interact much with this kind of people. However, he knew that these women's schemes and methods weren't inferior to men in the slightest.

She softened her voice and said, "Eldest Brother, you mustn't let this dark thoughts of mine haunt you for a hundred steps and ruin your character."

In his previous life, Xie Heng's reputation was not good. Even though his battle achievements were outstanding, his curses were praised even higher.

In the past, she was an outsider, so it naturally didn't matter.

But now, it was completely different. Wen Jiu thought that his life would be smoother, even if he could only make some small changes.

Xie Heng looked at her, his eyes shining without a trace of darkness.

Wen Jiu felt a lot more comfortable after saying these words, but he was afraid that if he said too much, it would displease Xie Heng and his expression couldn't help but become a little tense.

The teenager smirked and replied with a low voice, "Okay."

Wen Jiu heaved a sigh of relief.

It made sense just like that?

Her elder brother was rather easy to talk to.

Outside the carriage, a group of blue guard s that were secretly following the carriage discussed in disbelief, "Has our Young Master been taught a lesson by the Young Madame?"

"It seems that maybe, that's it?"

"I see that young master's lesson has been quite comfortable …"

Before the last rune left his mouth, a shadow flew out from the carriage and struck the mouth of the blue guard who was speaking the last sentence. Everyone flipped a few times in the air under the eaves and laid in the darkness, not daring to make a sound.

Young Master is also good to Miss Wen.

They'd better hide.

The next morning.

"I beg the emperor to uphold justice for this old official!"

As the group of officials entered the Conference Hall, before everyone could stand properly, the Minister of Industry, Yang Jiancheng, had already strode forward and directly knelt in the middle of the hall. "This old one's girls have always been pure self-love, yet yesterday, they were beaten to death as scumbags in Wang Yichang's residence! This must have been deliberately set up by someone! I ask that, on the account that this old subject has worked so hard for the sake of Great Yan for the greater half of his life, the Emperor repay my son's innocence! "

Wang Yichang also stepped forward: "Your Majesty... This subject is also a victim! "

The two officials kneeled in front of the palace, the officials chimed in, "This matter can't be blamed on Chief Minister. People were coming and going at the birthday banquet, who would have thought that such a thing would happen!?"

"Clearly, someone is deliberately framing us!"

There was a huge commotion in front of them.

The young official at the end of the list spoke in a low voice, "A few years ago, the's favorite student had gone missing on his way to check out the Yun State Dam. Yesterday, Minister Yang's young miss died at the head assistant's house, there are many coincidences here."

Hearing this person speak, the old official gave him a hard look. The young official immediately shut his mouth, but the surrounding group of officials who were about to step forward to speak hesitated and did not step forward again.

All of the ministers kneeling by Xie Heng's side turned around as though they were looking at something, and the young official standing at the end nodded at him.

The corners of the young man's lips curled up as he stood by the side of the wailing ministers without batting an eyelid.

There were too many civil servants in the Great Yan, other than that, the way in which people cried and argued was first-rate in terms of martial arts.

Zhao Yi sat on the dragon throne, feeling a headache coming on, and waved his hand: "This matter shall be referred to Shuntian Hall, Ministry of Punishments, Supreme Court, and the Three Temples for questioning. As long as all three of your beloved officials have asked them about this, before the matter is brought to light, none of them will be required to discuss it anymore!"

Zhao Yi's case was filled with debts belonging to both Yang Jiancheng and Wang Yichang. In just one night, the faces of the two humerus ministers had been torn, causing the entire imperial court to be in turmoil.

Yang Shoufei knelt in front of the Old Emperor and cried all night. As soon as she went to the morning assembly, there was a huge commotion below. If things continued like this, there would be no difference between the Conference Hall and the market.

Yang Jiancheng and Wang Yichang still wanted to speak.

The Old Emperor opened his mouth and interrupted them: "Is there anything else the various officials need to discuss?"

Yang Jiancheng and Wang Yichang were not on good terms so both of them entered the pavilion at the same time. It was just that Wang Yichang had become the head assistant long ago, so the two of them had maintained their skills on the surface for the past few years.

Now, even this layer of tranquility was about to be torn apart.

Old Emperor was clearly not willing to bring up the matter of Yang Qin again, but if he were to stand out and interrupt them when they were sleeping, Yang Jiancheng would definitely hold a grudge against him in the future.

Before anyone could stand up, the young man from the Scarlet official robe walked over, "This subject, Xie Heng, wants to play."

Old Emperor's eyelids jumped, "Fellow Xie, please speak your mind."

This youth was not someone who was easy to deal with.

Everyone held their breath, as the entire Conference Hall was completely silent.

Xie Heng stood in the middle of the hall and frowned: "If this subject has Ministry of Revenue, I will deduct my salary!"

Without waiting for Old Emperor to speak.

The Ministry of Revenue Elder Li Qing was shocked, and immediately jumped out, "General Xie, where did these words come from? Your salary has been fully paid! "

Zhao Yi frowned and asked: "Does Fellow Xie have any proof?"

Xie Heng said: "Minister Yang's daughter is able to buy a shop with just a few tens of thousands of gold. It can be seen that her salary from Ministry of Revenue is extremely generous, but when I am here, why is it not even enough for me to support my family?"
