The Return of the Demon

Chapter 121: Bad Luck

"What a bastard, what a loser... Look at what he did?"

"He took a prostitute to the streets and made a scene in Tianfulou. It's outrageous!"

Emperor Xuan's face turned pale.

Eunuch Quan and Nie Liang lowered their heads, not daring to breathe.

"It seems that I love him too much. This bastard took a prostitute to the streets. Doesn't he feel ashamed?"

However, when he looked down at the words on the rice paper, his face eased a lot.

On the rice paper were the four sentences Ning Chen said in Tianfulou.

"This kid is really talented and can write masterpieces...These words should be given to the court officials, so that all the beloved ministers can encourage each other."

"But look at this bastard, he actually used this masterpiece to scold people. It's outrageous...For a prostitute, he called scholars beasts. It really pissed me off!"

Eunuch Quan and Nie Liang looked at each other quietly.

They are the ones who know His Majesty best. Don't think His Majesty is furious now, it's just because he is disappointed with his son... In fact, Ning Chen will not be in any serious trouble.

If His Majesty is really angry, he won't be so angry and curse... Just one word can kill people and make blood flow.

At this moment, a little eunuch walked in on tiptoe.

"What's the matter?"

Emperor Xuan was angry, and he shouted, frightening the little eunuch to kneel on the ground, trembling with fear and trepidation: "Your Majesty, the Minister of War, Lord Luo, and the Minister of Revenue, Lord Zhang, want to see you."

"Let them in!"

"Yes!"

The little eunuch went out, and Nie Liang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I have another thing to report."

Emperor Xuan waved his hand, signaling him to wait, because the Minister of War and the Minister of Revenue had already come in.

"Your Majesty!"

The two knelt down in front of the dragon case.

"My two beloved ministers, stand up and talk!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The two stood up to thank him.

Emperor Xuan said, "What do you two ministers want to see me for?"

"Your Majesty, I want to report the Supervisory Department's Yin Yi Ning Chen, who beat my son innocently and knocked out his teeth. Please help me."

After the Minister of War finished speaking, the Minister of Revenue immediately said, "Your Majesty, I also want to report the Supervisory Department's Yin Yi Ning Chen. He committed a crime for no reason and kicked my son down the stairs, causing his head to bleed and he is bedridden!"

Emperor Xuan was stunned at first, and then furious.

"When did it happen?"

"Your Majesty, around noon today, at Tianfulou...My son happened to see Ning Yin Yi eating with a prostitute at Tianfulou. He just looked at her a few more times, and was beaten up by Ning Chen. Please help me."

Emperor Xuan's face was ashen.

He turned his head to look at Nie Liang.

Nie Liang's body trembled slightly, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, what I just wanted to say is exactly this matter!"

Ning Chen, don't blame me for not helping you... It's really that his father has reported to the emperor, I can't help, you just pray for the best... Nie Liang thought.

Emperor Xuan snorted coldly!

Nie Liang's forehead was sweating, but he still said bravely: "Your Majesty, my subordinates reported that the matter is a little different from what the two adults said."

"It was the son of the two adults who teased Miss Yudie first... Ning Yinyi was angry and took action, a small punishment and a big warning."

The Minister of War and the Minister of Revenue looked at Nie Liang at the same time, glaring at him.

"Commander Nie's words are biased. My son has been studying the books of sages since he was young. It is impossible for him to flirt with women."

"That's right. My son is gentle, polite, and knows the rules... It is absolutely impossible for him to flirt with women."

"Your Majesty, even if what Lord Geng said is true... Ning Chen is a silver-clad official of the Supervisory Department. How can he wander around with a prostitute? It is simply a disgrace to the civilized world. What's wrong with my son saying a few words to him?"

"Ning Chen is barbaric and rude. He committed a crime without reason. It is simply unforgivable. I beg Your Majesty to punish him severely."

Nie Liang smiled bitterly in his heart. In terms of speaking, he could not beat these two people at all.

Although he despised what the two said in his heart, he didn't know how to refute it?

The key is that Ning Chen really beat people.

"Your Majesty, Ning Chen not only beat my son, but also called scholars beasts. It is extremely arrogant. Please order a severe punishment."

Emperor Xuan had a gloomy face.

"Don't worry, my two beloved ministers. I will definitely give you an explanation."

"Nie Liang?"

"I am here."

Emperor Xuan said with a stern face: "Bring your men and bring Ning Chen to me immediately... I will punish him severely this time."

Nie Liang's heart trembled. Ning Chen was going to be in trouble this time.

Although His Majesty favored Ning Chen very much, he could not be too partial to him. He still had to consider the face of the ministers in the court.

Ning Chen's life would not be in danger, but he would not be able to escape a beating.

"Yes, I will obey your order!"

After saluting, Nie Liang left the imperial study.

But on the way, he met a guard who hurried over, and the two talked for a few words.

Nie Liang looked anxious and hurried back to the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, I just received news that someone assassinated Ning Chen in the street."

"What?"

Emperor Xuan stood up from the dragon throne in a somewhat unmannerly manner, and asked anxiously, "How is Ning Chen?"

"Your Majesty, Ning Yinyi was brave and good at fighting. He fought desperately and repelled the assassin...but he was also injured."

Emperor Xuan's face suddenly changed, "Ning Chen was injured? Is the injury serious?"

"I don't know! It is said that the assassins of Ning Yinyi were all experts. I dare to guess that Ning Yinyi should be seriously injured."

The Emperor Xuan's face became calm instead, and he sat down slowly.

But everyone felt a terrifying murderous aura spreading from the Emperor Xuan.

Eunuch Quan hurriedly lowered his head, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes... At this time, His Majesty was really angry, and it was the most terrifying time.

Anyone who dared to offend His Majesty at this time would surely die.

"Nie Liang, where is Ning Chen?"

"In the Supervisory Office!"

"Take the imperial physician from the palace and go to the Supervisory Office immediately... What's the situation? Report to me immediately."

"Yes!"

Nie Liang did not dare to delay and hurriedly took the order and left.

The Emperor Xuan's eyes moved and fell on the Minister of War and the Minister of Revenue, and asked lightly: "Is Ning Chen's assassination related to you two?"

The two were so scared that they knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with me, please understand!"

"Your Majesty, calm down. This matter was definitely not done by me. Please understand!"

The Emperor Xuan looked at the two with an expressionless face.

The two trembled all over, and cold sweat flowed down their foreheads.

"Of course I have to understand... Under the feet of the emperor, someone has been assassinating my ministers one after another. This is a provocation to me."

"No matter who it is? As long as I find out, I will definitely kill all his nine clans."

"I hope this matter has nothing to do with the two of you... You can leave first!"

The backs of the two were soaked with cold sweat. They hurriedly thanked the emperor and retreated in embarrassment.

After leaving the imperial study, the two looked terrified... It was really unlucky. If they had known that they would encounter such a thing, they would never come to complain to the emperor.

However, Ning Chen had a conflict with their son at noon, and encountered an assassination in the afternoon... No wonder His Majesty suspected them?

At this moment, the two of them did not dare to think about asking His Majesty to severely punish Ning Chen... They just wanted to find out the truth as soon as possible and clear their suspicion.

Because being suspected by His Majesty is a life-threatening matter.
