Chapter 133 Fighting the Eunuch
Imperial Palace, Qiyun Hall!
Concubine Hu was wearing makeup, but after hearing someone from her parents' home say that the referee Chen Xiao had arrested her father, Concubine Hu was immediately angry.
"Promoter Chen Xiao? Humph, it's the boy who almost got married to the Ninth Princess when she left the palace? On the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, he shone brightly!"
"Empress, it's him!" He spoke with the eunuch beside Concubine Hu.
"I know, a mere sixth-rank official dares to capture my father? Humph, in this way, you go and pass the imperial edicts of this palace to let him release him!" said Concubine Hu.
The eunuch bowed and said, "Yes..."
...
On the other hand, Chen Xiao was waiting for the Ministry of Justice to reply.
After the case was filed with the Ministry of Justice, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice was shocked.
He quickly took it to the Minister of Justice, and the Minister of Justice was stunned after reading it.
"This Chen Xiao, he... is really brave. He arrested Concubine Hu's father and made him confess?" said the Minister of Justice in shock.
The Left Minister wiped his cold sweat: "Not only did he be imprisoned, he was sentenced to beheading. How can we reply to him?"
"Reply? That's the royal relatives. The royal relatives are the most difficult to deal with. Alas... this is really a hot potato..." The Minister of Justice was quite troubled.
The left assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice also said: "Yes, in theory, the emperor violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people, but sometimes the royal relatives can be exempted from the crime because of the emperor's words..."
The Minister of Justice shook his head and said, "It's not easy to deal with. If you say you're going to kill me again, then... it's certain that you offend Concubine Hu. If you don't do it well, Your Majesty will be dissatisfied with it..."
Left Minister of Justice of the Ministry of Justice: "But if you don't kill, everyone will confess their guilt. It's really a crime..."
The two looked at each other, so worried.
"Or, this matter must be delayed. Concubine Hu probably knows what to do if she sees?" said the Minister of Justice.
The Left Minister nodded: "Good solution, drag it first and see what they do..."
Government office!
Chen Xiao was waiting for news from the Ministry of Justice and the Hu family.
As he guessed, the news from the Ministry of Justice had not arrived yet, and the man from Concubine Hu, who was in the palace, came.
"Where are you proclaimers? Where? Our family passed on the imperial concubine's orders and let him come out..." A eunuch's voice sounded.
Chen Xiao sighed when he was in charge of the crime hall.
Then, an eunuch came in and said to Chen Xiao: "Officer Chen, our family passed on the imperial concubine's orders!"
Chen Xiao stood up and said, "Tell me!"
"What's your attitude? Come down and listen to the orders!" the eunuch said sharply.
Chen Xiao sneered: "Don't kneel down, if you want to say it, just say it, and if you don't say it, just reply!"
"You... OK, you are just a sixth-rank official, and you are quite arrogant. Do you dare to treat the imperial concubine's orders like this?" The eunuch was immediately unhappy.
Chen Xiao said indifferently: "How can you do to me?"
"Bold, Chen Xiao, aren't you afraid of the imperial concubine blamed him?" the eunuch said angrily.
Chen Xiao frowned: "When you come to this forensic management, how dare you disrespect me?"
"Hmph, what do you think you are? So what if we don't respect you? Who do you think you are? Do you think you are really the prince consort? Humph~" the eunuch said disdainfully.
Chen Xiao showed a sneer and said, "Come on, drag this guy who is disrespectful to me and beat ten boards!"
"You dare!" the eunuch glared at Chen Xiao and said, "Our family is the eunuch next to the concubine in the palace. Do you dare to touch me and try?"
The next moment...
He was dragged out and beaten up with a hard board!
Looking at the eunuch lying on the ground screaming, Chen Xiao said disdainfully: "I beat Concubine Hu's father, but I still dare not hit you? Do you think you are Concubine Hu's mother?"
"You...you little beast, you're dead...you dare to hit me...you're done..."
The eunuch tried hard to get up from the ground, but forgot to say the imperial concubine's order, and limped and left.
Seeing this, Zhou Banto said to Chen Xiao: "Sir, this... he is an eunuch in the palace after all, will something happen?"
"I'm not afraid, he is disrespectful to me in the yamen. What's wrong with beating him?" Chen Xiao said with confidence.
"By the way, the case file of the Ministry of Justice has not been released yet?" Chen Xiao asked.
Zhou Bantou smiled bitterly: "Those people probably have a headache. Among the many officials, few of these royal relatives want to provoke. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so rampant!"
Chen Xiao nodded and said, "That's right, it doesn't matter. Anyway, that Hu Tianyou must die!"
"Sir, you cannot forcibly behead. He is a royal relative and must be approved by the Ministry of Justice or Dali Temple!" Zhou Bantou reminded.
Chen Xiao nodded: "I'm not that stupid. After all, I'm not a little person, so I won't be too impulsive!"
Zhou Bantuo felt more at ease, and then looked at the sky. It was getting late, so he said:
"Go and see Lao Li!"
Chen Xiao took out a hundred taels of silver and said, "Go and buy some supplements and send them!"
Zhou Bantou hesitated for a moment, but Yinzi said, "Thank you, sir..."
Chen Xiao didn't say anything.
...
In the palace!
Qiyun Hall!
The eunuch added fuel to the imperial concubine and said, "Empress, Chen Xiao's eyes are not like you. He ignored your order and said I am nothing, saying that he beat your father, let alone beat me... He also said..."
"Enough!"
Concubine Hu suddenly stood up and said angrily: "What a Chen Xiao, this palace concubine, who is also respectful in this harem. He dared not take me seriously? It's so damn!"
Concubine Hu is nearly forty years old and looks about thirty years old. She is really good-looking. When she becomes fierce at this moment, she is also a bit imposing and scary.
"Don't take this palace seriously, hum, I don't believe it, you don't take Your Majesty seriously."
Concubine Hu said as she stood up and said to the eunuch: "Let's go, follow me to see Your Majesty!"
Imperial Study Room!
The emperor was drinking tea.
Every morning, I have to deal with some things in the morning, review the memorials at noon, and discuss matters with some ministers in the afternoon.
It is rare that in the evening, when the sun is about to set, he can have the leisure and elegant taste of drinking tea and resting.
At this time, an eunuch came in: "Your Majesty, Concubine Hu is here, bringing you pastries..."
The emperor nodded: "Let her come in!"
Not long after, Concubine Hu walked in and said, "I have seen Your Majesty..."
"kindness……"
"Your Majesty, I'm going to ask for a pastry, please try it!" As she said that, she took out a piece to feed the emperor.
The emperor took a bite, nodded, and Concubine Hu smiled.
"Your Majesty, you're not busy now!"
The emperor said: "It's rare to have a rest..."
Concubine Hu hesitated and said, "Then... I will chat with Your Majesty... By the way, Your Majesty, I have something at home. I want to... I want to talk to Your Majesty..."
"Yeah, if you have something to do, you might as well say it!" the emperor spoke.
Concubine Hu said: "That's my father..."
"Your Majesty..." An eunuch came in: "Your Majesty, the adjudicator Chen Xiao is here, bringing wine, wanting to see Your Majesty..."
The emperor raised his eyelids: "Let him come in!"
