The emperor always wants to give me marriage

Xia Zhi seemed to have a mouthful of Coptis chinensis in his mouth, he gritted his molars and said, "You're clearly taking revenge on your own interests."

"How dare a humble minister." Lin Fang laughed happily, with a playful look on his face.Playing with him this time, is to lightly expose the previous matter, thinking that Xia Zhi will not get angry with him again.

Xia Zhi got up from the bed in embarrassment, patted his clothes, and heard a rush of footsteps outside, and the guard rushed in to report that he had been found.

"Go, go and have a look." Xia Zhi was overjoyed, and hurried out the door, but the more he walked into the small garden, the more he felt that the atmosphere was not right.There were sharp cries in the distance, and a group of people formed a circle, blocking his sight.

"What's going on?" Lin Fang looked serious, and walked over first. The crowd spread to both sides, and his eyes dimmed immediately. He turned around subconsciously, and raised his hand to cover Xia Zhi's eyes.

Xia Zhi's footsteps paused slightly, but he pushed him away forcefully and walked over directly.When he saw the girl in Zhou Shi'an's arms, he couldn't help gasping, as if his chest was hit hard by a stone, and he was so stuffy that he couldn't breathe.

"Your Majesty." Lin Fang hurried forward and raised his hand to support his arm.

Zhou Shi'an knelt on the ground, hunched over, holding Sister Tong tightly with both hands, sobbing and crying out of breath, his whole body trembling.

Xia Zhi stared helplessly at the man who was still dripping water all over his body, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. If the inhuman Mei Concubine who was tortured in the death row back then gave him a strong stimulus, seeing such a flowery concubine at this time The little girl like jade was covered with cuts and bruises, lying on the ground without a sound, so he told him to grit his teeth and his mind was shocked.

This man-eating world is really like an ant, and his life is like a mustard.

The onlookers didn't dare to make the slightest sound, but their eyes were fixed on Sister Tong. Xia Zhi clenched his fists and squeezed out a few words: "Tell them to back off!"

As soon as the order was given, the servants and guards onlookers dispersed immediately, and the surrounding air fell into a dead silence, only Zhou Shi'an's sobbing sound hit his eardrums.Xia Zhi only felt chills all over his body, a deep sense of powerlessness made him panic, and great sadness welled up in his chest.He had personally promised Zhou Shi'an that he would find Sister Tong for him, but unexpectedly, what he found was a cold corpse.He raised his fingers stiffly, trying to take off his clothes, but was stopped by Lin Fang.

Lin put it on his arm, and then waved to the side. Qing Lan immediately handed over a clean cloak, Xia Zhi took it in his hand, and walked slowly towards Zhou Shi'an.He squatted beside Zhou Shi'an, and wanted to say something comforting, but when he opened his mouth, he realized that his throat was severely constricted, and the tip of his nose was sore, he didn't even say a word, he could only cover Sister Tong with the cloak.

"Your Majesty," Zhou Shi'an clenched his blue-gray cloak tightly with his fingertips, looked up at Xia Zhi, his eyes were scarlet, he hiccupped and choked up, "Your Majesty...Sister Tong... Gone……"

Xia Zhi almost cried together with him, and hurriedly bit the tip of his tongue, forcefully letting the pain force the tears back into his eyes.He raised his hand and patted Zhou Shi'an's shoulder lightly, and said solemnly, "I promise you to seek justice for Sister Tong."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Ding Guohou's voice coming from a distance: "Your Majesty, this old minister is guilty, this old minister is guilty—"

Ding Guohou came trotting with his waist bowed and shame on his face, and even tripped over a pebble on the ground, staggering and almost falling.Behind him were two servants, one on the left and the other on the right, holding a thin middle-aged man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, thin as a piece of paper, he was thrown to the ground by the servants, curled up into a ball and trembling.

Marquis Dingguo kicked him hard, and said in tears: "Your Majesty, this old minister has just learned about this matter. This slave took advantage of the prestige of the Marquis Manor to do evil outside, and even forcibly robbed the women of the people, and sank to the bottom of the lake after being defiled. It’s really not as good as a beast. The old minister captured him with his own hands, and I asked the emperor to decide. The old minister was not strict in discipline and was responsible for negligence, so I ask the emperor to come down.”

He knelt on the ground with a "plop", not only pushing the crime of harming others onto others, but also begging to apologise, completely blocking Xia Zhi's words.

Zhou Shi'an hugged Sister Tong tightly, rolled up his sleeves and wiped his nose fiercely, and complained excitedly: "You lied, you were the one who killed Sister Tong...you bastard... Your Majesty, I beg you to help Tong." Sister is the master, you must..."

"Zhou Shi'an." Xia Zhi interrupted him suddenly, and gave him a warning look, Zhou Shi'an shut his mouth in a huff, but the expression of displeasure was clearly on his face.

Sister Tong was fished out of the lake in the center of the small garden. The criss-cross marks on her arms and legs showed how much humiliation she had suffered. The body is also soft, and it didn't take long before he was killed.

Xia Zhi couldn't help thinking that maybe it was because he suddenly brought people to search the mansion that he forced Dingguohou to jump over the wall and kill him directly.

Looking at the old man kneeling in front of him, he wished he could chop off his head right now to seek justice for sister Tong.But a dignified Marquis, he can't move, and he can't move.

Lin Fang was watching him from the side, even if he didn't say a word, the restraint revealed in his eyes made him unable to ignore it.Lin Fang was reminding him not to make things big.It is against common sense to bring guards into the Hou's mansion just to find a commoner. If there is another incident, things will develop in an unpredictable direction.

Xia Zhi secretly clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and suddenly realized that he was different from before.In the past, he was also considered a little angry youth, who liked to fight against injustices, but now he started to think about how to survive in this era of intrigue.

The Lin family is a big tree, and now its root system has been rooted in the soil, and one hair can move the whole body. If a Dingguohou is cut down today, thousands of Dingguohous will rise up tomorrow.He is an enemy of the Lin family, which is equivalent to a mayfly shaking a tree.

"My lord, how do you deal with this matter?" Xia Zhi closed his eyes and asked with a sigh.

Lin Fangdao: "If a slave kills someone, he should be beheaded immediately to show the public. The Marquis of Dingguo is not strict in discipline, and he should be fined for three years, and the girl should be buried generously."

The corner of Xia Zhi's mouth twitched into a sneer, three years of fine?Human life is really worthless.He said in a hoarse voice, "As you say."

"The old minister kowtowed to thank the emperor." Ding Guohou kowtowed, and then asked the servant to drag him down for burial.

"No need!" Zhou Shi'an stood up holding Sister Tong, his blood-red eyes fixed on Ding Guohou's face, and there was a sharp ruthlessness on his face, and he gritted his teeth, "One day, I will kill you with my own hands. You old thief!"

Hou Dingguo was panting heavily, staring at him with gloomy eyes, but because of Xia Zhi's presence, he swallowed his bad breath back, and looked at the female corpse in his arms with contempt.

This scene really disgusted Xia Zhi, he swung his sleeves abruptly, turned around and left, Yang Zhenting led the guards closely behind him, and walked out of the gate of the Hou Mansion, Xia Zhi stopped abruptly, and looked behind him——

Zhou Shian hugged his elder sister and walked towards the door step by step. He was walking very hard, the veins on his neck were bulging, his arms were trembling constantly, his legs were also trembling, his body was shaking several times, and he was almost about to fall. The person in his arms was thrown down, but he hugged him tightly again.

"Let me do it." Yang Zhenting couldn't stand it anymore, and stretched out his hands towards him.

Zhou Shi'an looked up at him, sniffed his nose sadly, and said with red eyes, "Thank you, General, I want to take her home personally." Looking at Xia Zhi who was standing aside in a blink of an eye, there was another tinge in his voice. Crying, "Can't the emperor make the decision for Sister Tong?"

Xia Zhi pursed his lips, feeling extremely ashamed at this moment.

From the beginning to the end, he felt that he was not like an emperor, and he never asked himself to be a good emperor. All he wanted was to save his life.

But others are different. They really regard him as the emperor, and if they have a grievance, they pin their hopes of redressing the grievance on him.This heavy sustenance weighed on his shoulders, but also on his chest.

"Come here, I have something to say to you."

Xia Zhi beckoned, and Zhou Shi'an walked towards him, still refusing to let go of Sister Tong.

Lin Fang dealt with the diabolical slave in the mansion, and when he hurried out, he saw Xia Zhi standing with that kid, the person whom he had disliked before, is admirable today.

It was Xia Zhi who impressed him even more. He was really surprised that he was able to hold his breath today and didn't break face with Marquis Dingguo face to face.At this moment, Xia Zhi put his hands behind his back, and spoke to Zhou Shi'an calmly, the calmness revealed in his expression made him slightly startled.

Lin Fang narrowed his eyes and asked, "What are they talking about?"

Yang Zhenting clasped his arms around his chest, shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Lin Fang said: "I've been busy with things recently, if you have time, take care of this kid a little bit, don't let him be harmed."

Yang Zhenting turned to look at him in surprise.

Lin Fangdao: "Lin Anbei is an old fox who will take revenge. Today the emperor brought people to search the house. He will definitely put this shame on Zhou Shi'an. He may not be able to do evil things. You need to worry about it."

Yang Zhenting clenched the sword in his hand and nodded solemnly.

Zhou Shi'an was escorted by Yang Zhenting, while Lin Fang accompanied Xia Zhi back to the palace. When the two got into the carriage, Lin Fang went straight to the point and said, "What did the emperor just say to him?"

Xia Zhi frowned slightly and looked at him, instead of answering his words, he asked, "Lin Fang, are you willing to part with the Lin family?"

Lin Fang's expression froze, and then he realized what he said, and said with a smile: "What is there to be reluctant about? The minister has already stated that he will do his best and die."

"Even if you are against the Lin family?"

"Even if you are against the Lin family."

"Okay!" A smile slowly appeared on Xia Zhi's face, he stretched out his hand to hold his wrist, and asked solemnly, "I want to be a good emperor, would Ai Qing help me?"
