Fantasy: Starting Out as a Gigolo, Born a Confucian Sage

Chapter 176

Lord Zuo Xiang stepped down from the carriage and looked around. Everyone bowed their heads and dared not look at him.

Whether it was the nobles such as the King of Changle, or the surrounding common people and students, they all bowed their heads.

That kind of awe from the heart was definitely not because of Lord Zuo Xiang's power.

Even Shen Wuming put away the amused expression on his face, and looked towards the door solemnly.

After Lord Zuo Xiang looked around, his eyes fell on He Wenguang, without any expression.

But He Wenguang felt as if he was stared at by a prehistoric beast, and felt a chill in his heart.

His body couldn't help trembling, and his calves even cramped. He swallowed his saliva and bowed.

"Greetings, Lord Zuo Xiang!"

He Wenguang bowed deeply, a full ninety degrees, and dared not be disrespectful.

Before he saw Lord Zuo Xiang, he was still looking forward to it, maybe he could go further with the help of King Wei.

At that time, he would enter the three provinces, or serve as the minister of the six ministries, and after a few years, he would ascend to the position of prime minister.

But when he really faced the Left Prime Minister, he felt like a gnat facing the sky, and he was at a loss.

"No need to be polite!"

The Left Prime Minister's voice was gentle, making people feel like they were bathed in spring breeze, but He Wenguang did not dare to relax and looked up with awe.

"What is the matter with this case? Come to me truthfully."

The Left Prime Minister did not force him, but just asked softly, but He Wenguang's body trembled.

The corners of his mouth twitched, and he struggled in his heart.

But it was only a moment later that he made a decision, took a deep breath, and came to me truthfully.

"It's His Royal Highness the King of Wei!"

He Wenguang did not play dumb, "Yesterday I got the news from His Royal Highness the King of Wei, and asked me to arrange someone to wait in Xianghe Street today."

"As long as Shen Wuming hurts the people around Princess Jiaxing, I will take him down."

"Then he will be thrown into prison for the crime of assassinating the envoy, and arrange for the death squad to take the opportunity to assassinate him."

If it were someone else, even if it was Pei Deben, the living king of hell, He Wenguang would have to deal with him.

But the left prime minister... no one dared!

The left prime minister's expression remained unchanged, he just nodded lightly, "As a senior official of the court, you should know what this crime is?"

"Being an official dereliction of duty, taking human lives lightly, forcing confessions, killing innocent people... the crime is unforgivable."

He Wenguang knew everything and took a deep breath, "According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, he should be sentenced to beheading and his property should be confiscated."

"Three clans will be exiled a thousand miles away!"

This is his ending, the ending he personally pronounced.

The left prime minister nodded, then looked at Sima Daozhang on the side, "Take him away."

"Yes, sir!"

Sima Daozhang personally took action, took the shackles from his subordinates, and buckled them on He Wenguang.

Escort him away.

The left prime minister then walked into the yamen, looked around, and nodded to Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.

"Meet the left prime minister!"

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva put his hands together and bowed slightly, obviously respecting the left prime minister to the extreme.

"Since you are in Luoyang, you can spend a few more days here. If you can give a lecture, that would be great."

The Left Prime Minister said slowly, "If you need any help from the court, you can tell the Buddhist Records Office."

"I know!" Samantabhadra smiled compassionately, without any arrogance in front of He Wenguang.

The Left Prime Minister nodded, without saying much, but looked at Shen Wuming.

"Hello, Lord Left Prime Minister."

Shen Wuming took a deep breath and saluted respectfully. He also knew the majesty of this Lord Left Prime Minister.

An old minister of three dynasties, the first person under the emperor.

Even his influence in the court and the country surpassed that of the emperor and the previous emperor, and he could live up to the expectations of all living beings.

"Lord Shen, I have heard of you, and I have read your policy papers, which are very good."

The Left Prime Minister said slowly, "I will let the Dali Temple and the Zongzheng Temple investigate this case together."

"I will give you an explanation."

"Prepare well for the exam, and don't let down His Majesty's kindness. The court needs young people like you."

Shen Wuming bowed and said, "I will follow the teachings of the Left Prime Minister!"

"I'm leaving."

The Left Prime Minister said, walked slowly outside, got on the carriage, and disappeared at the end of the road.

He didn't say a few words throughout the whole process, but he easily resolved the whole thing.

The surrounding Tai students also dispersed spontaneously, and the troublemaker Changle Wang and others did not dare to say much.

As for the instigator He Wenguang, he did not evade at all, and told the conspiracy behind it one by one.

He obediently entered the cell of the Dali Temple.

Shen Wuming felt that this was like a dream, and the result was better than he expected.

But this process...

It was too fake.

"As expected of you, Lord Zuo Xiang."

Yang Yuanqing sighed, "Did you see He Wenguang's expression? He didn't even dare to tell a lie."

Shen Wuming smiled bitterly and suddenly felt a little ashamed.

Although he had the upper hand throughout the whole process, and at the beginning he still had a condescending fishing mentality.

But compared with Lord Zuo Xiang at this time, he looked like a clown.

Whatever means, they all seemed so powerless at this time. On the contrary, Lord Zuo Xiang made light of heavy tasks, and those who are good at fighting have no great achievements.

"Let's go, and welcome you."

King Changle walked in, "Let's have a drink, we have to report to Zongzheng Temple later."

Shen Wuming nodded, then looked at Samantabhadra Bodhisattva on the side, "Can you have a drink together, Bodhisattva?"

Although he didn't know how he became a Buddhist, but in times of crisis, people reached out to help.

There must be an answer after all.

But Samantabhadra Bodhisattva just smiled and shook his head, "I won't join in the fun."

"After the Buddhist son is done, I will visit you again. I'll take my leave now."

For Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, the purpose of this trip has been achieved. It's good that the Buddhist son is fine.

And he also made a familiar face.

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva led his people away, but there were still a few students here, and Shen Wuming invited them.

Wang Zhongshu, Fang Daoyuan and others did not refuse, and the group came to Lijing Tower.

King Changle waved his hand and directly asked Lijing Tower to clear the place and specially entertain them.

As for Sima Daozhang, he was escorting He Wenguang to the Dali Temple at this time, so he didn't come.

The wine was mixed, it was so lively.

As for the banquet, these sons of the rich and powerful kept competing in drinking, but they all refused Shen Wuming.

Drinking with him, that would be uncomfortable.

They reflected on it for a long time when they went back last time, and finally came to the conclusion that it was Shen Wuming who cheated.

Relying on the sixth realm of cultivation to crush them is not counted at all, and there is no fun at all.

On the contrary, Wang Zhongshu and Fang Daoyuan seemed to be particularly interested in Shen Wuming, especially the articles he published in the official newspaper.

"When I first saw those articles, I knew that Brother Haggard must be a great talent for the country."

Fang Daoyuan was quite emotional, "I have been studying the river system and hope to dredge the water veins."

"But after twenty years of studying hard, I am far less than one tenth of Brother Haggard."
