Xu Miao looked at the scarred man with gloomy eyes, and a murderous intent suddenly rose in his heart.
The temperament he exuded at this moment was completely different from that in the court and in the Xu Mansion.
At this moment, Xu Miao was like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark. Just one word or one action could make people shudder!
In fact, this might be what he really is like.
"Young Master...what did the old man say?"
Suddenly, a white-haired old man who sat next to Xu Miao spoke in a deep voice.
"The old man already knows that you guys did it, and he wants you to clean up your mess right away."
Xu Miao's gaze was still directed at the scarred man, his expression intimidating without even being angry.
"Does the elder want us to kill Xia Yun?"
The white-haired old man guessed Xu Miao's words and asked tentatively.
However, this time, Xu Miao did not give an answer. Instead, the man in the black robe in the lobby spoke again.
"No, this is the capital, not Zhili. The people from the Supervisory Office are keeping a close eye on us. They have spies everywhere. And Xiao Yan has already taken Xia Yun to the Ninth Prince's Palace this morning."
"If we do it ourselves again, those people will definitely take the opportunity to attack us, which will also be disadvantageous to us."
The man in black robe first rejected the white-haired old man's proposal to kill, and then made an analysis.
"Then what should we do? It's not right to kill him, and it's not right not to kill him. We can't just sit here and watch the show, right?!"
As soon as the black-robed man finished speaking, the python-robed man could no longer control his temper and uttered words of dissatisfaction.
In fact, this was also the voice of other people present.
In just a few breaths, the atmosphere in the lobby became extremely strange again, and as quiet as death.
"Killing someone is just a matter of a knife. If we want to kill Xia Yun, we don't need to do it ourselves."
After a while, a slow voice came out from the mouth of the man in black robe.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present focused their attention.
Including the young cabinet minister Xu Miao, there was a flickering light in the eyes of everyone.
"Doesn't Xiao Yan want to protect Xia Yun? But he shouldn't forget that he is not the only palace in the capital."
The man in black robe continued to speak, his voice revealing an extremely cold and sinister tone.
Hearing this, everyone present was stunned at first, but soon everyone understood what the man in black robe was referring to.
Xu Miao, who was sitting in the first seat, was silent for a while, then suddenly nodded.
"Then let them do it."
Xu Miao spoke in a deep voice.
At this point, everyone in the room nodded in agreement.
……
"Brother Xia, you really have a great alcohol tolerance. Come, let me toast you three more glasses!"
In Fenglai Inn, Chen Ming had drunk so much that he lost himself in thought and felt dizzy.
It was nine o'clock in the evening.
Since it is the capital city, not only are the streets brightly lit, but there are more pedestrians coming and going than during the day.
Xia Yun and Chen Ming were sitting at a table facing the street, with several wine jars on the table.
"Brother Chen, you'd better drink less."
Looking at Chen Ming who was drinking heavily, Xia Yun showed a bitter smile on his face.
He didn't expect the other party to be so drunk.
As for himself, although he drank several jars of wine, he was not drunk at all.
Not only that, there wasn't even a trace of blush on Xia Yun's face.
Such a huge amount shocked the innkeeper.
"It's a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar... Brother Xia, it's not easy for you to come to the capital... You must drink to your heart's content today!"
Chen Ming began to stutter and his voice was intermittent, which was completely different from his usual upright image.
Seeing this, Xia Yun could only smile bitterly and shook his head.
But at this moment, Xia Yun's eyes drifted across the street and suddenly saw two familiar figures.
Is it them?
Xia Yun, who was always calm, now had a look of surprise in his eyes.
Just because those two familiar figures were not others.
It was the female businessman and her female follower who had bought a lot of grain from him in Dai County!
He vaguely remembered that the female businessman's surname seemed to be Xiao.
same moment.
The two empresses also saw Xia Yun on the street, and their eyes met at this moment.
"Miss, she saw us."
After leaving the palace, the female official called the empress "Miss", although her expression remained normal.
But in fact, the female official's heart was beating like a newborn deer.
She clearly remembered what Xia Yun did to her in the car when they were in Dai County.
Thinking of this, the female official felt a sense of shyness or anticipation in her heart.
"past."
After seeing Xia Yun, the empress remained quite calm both in expression and in heart.
After all, she wished she could throw the guy in front of her directly into the Sky Prison.
"Hey, Miss Xiao, I didn't expect to meet you here!"
When Xia Yun saw the two girls coming over, he didn't hesitate and immediately took the initiative to greet them.
"This is the capital city. I live here. Why did Lord Xia come to the capital city?"
The empress forced a smile on her face.
When she came to Xia Yun, the empress noticed that there was another person at the table besides Xia Yun.
At first glance, the man was drunk and didn't notice her presence at all.
"Miss."
Suddenly, a call came from the female official's mouth, the voice was very low and close to the empress's ear.
Hearing this, the empress raised her eyebrows, not understanding what the female official meant.
But she soon discovered that the female official was looking at another person at the table, as if she was signaling something to her with her eyes.
The empress then took a closer look at the other person at the table.
After a moment, the empress suddenly understood everything.
It turned out that the drunken guy at the table was Chen Ming, the Censor of the Metropolitan Censorate!
Moreover, not long ago he promoted this guy in the court, from the fourth-rank Censor to the third-rank.
Why is this guy here?
The empress felt a little embarrassed for a moment, fearing that Chen Ming would recognize her.
Fortunately, after a few breaths, Chen Ming, who was already drunk, did not recognize her identity at all.
Xia Yun, who was standing by, noticed that something was wrong with Miss Xiao, but did not ask any more questions.
"Please sit down, Miss Xiao. It's tiring to stand."
Xia Yun chuckled.
After hearing this, the empress sat down opposite Xia Yun.
"Master Xia hasn't answered my question yet. Why did you come to the capital?"
In order to better conceal her identity, the empress repeated the previous question.
"I am here because I am going to Beijing to report on my duties."
Xia Yun explained.
"I see."
The empress showed a look of sudden enlightenment on her face.
"Speaking of which, it is a blessing to meet Miss Xiao again today. I wonder if Miss Xiao can drink?"
Xia Yun continued.
"A drink or two won't hurt."
The empress nodded.
Although she looks slim and frail, she can actually drink quite a lot.
