Chapter 169: Defiant

Ba Jitian was a little stunned for an instant. He didn't expect that Gongsun Xuanji would actually be drinking in this mansion.
Before coming to Fenghua Street, Ba Jitian had heard of what happened in Fenghua Street. Whether it was Chen Xinglie who came to the door, or Mrs. Nan was scattered, both Mrs. Nan and Barutu were hung up...
These things are clear to Ba Jitian.
Even Gongsun Xuanji stood up to speak for Barutu and was eventually taken into the mansion, and Ba Jitian had already been informed.
However, Ba Jitian didn't know that Gongsun Xuanji would actually stay in the mansion to drink, and he hadn't left yet. After all, at dusk, when Zhen Yingxiong used Gongsun Xuanji's bullock cart to take Barutu to the door of Ba Jitian's house, the entire Ba family was already messed up.
Although the Ba family is a family of officials, they can only rely on the servants and family members in the family to detect news. They are far less skilled than the group of imperial spies under Qin Wannian's hands.
"Master Gongsun!"
Ba Jitian walked to the door and said, "Why is the Tai Fu here?"
Gongsun Xuanji didn’t pay attention to Ba Jitian immediately, instead he poured wine to Chen Xinglie until the glass was full, then slowly put down the jug, turned his head to look at the door, and said,
Why can’t the old man be here? Could it be that this world is your Ba Jitian world, even the old man’s affairs, you have to take care of it?"
Ba Jitian's eyes froze, his expression became very complicated, and he said, "Don't dare to go down to the official."
Gongsun Xuanji gently shook his glass, and said, "What's there not to dare you? When you were at the door just now, didn't you keep saying, "Are you a Shangshu, Guanju Yipin? The old man thinks you are really powerful." The old man has been an official for decades, and now he is the Taifu, and he ranks among the three men. He is considered one of the three largest officials in the Datong dynasty, but none of them can compare to yours."
Ba Jitian didn't continue this topic, he pondered for a moment, and asked, "The Tai Fu also supports Chen Xinglie?"
Gongsun Xuanji looked righteous, even with a bit of reprimand in his tone, saying: "The old man does not support anyone. The old man always upholds justice and is not right to people. Whoever makes sense, whoever has reason, will support whoever is right."
Ba Jitian moved his lips, but said nothing.
Gongsun Xuanji squinted his eyes and said, "Ba Shangshu feels wronged, so he doesn't say anything?"
Ba Jitian frowned and said, "The official's tutoring is not strict. The nephew of the family borrowed from the Chen family's house, which is the official's loss. However, Chen Xinglie killed the official's nephew Barutu, and the murder would cost his life. "
Gongsun Xuanji said: "Taking without telling it is stealing! In the great dynasty, killing one or two thieves is not a major event. Ba Shangshu doesn't have to go to the door in person, just let someone go to the Yamen and sue Gongzi Chen Once it happens, the court will naturally preside over justice for you."
Ba Jitian heard that Gongsun Xuanji called Chen Xinglie Chen Gongzi, and recognized that he was sitting on the side and drinking with the gold medal spy. He couldn't help but sneered, "Don’t you know that the royal spy’s admiral Qin Wannian? , Have you been supporting Chen Xinglie? If the official goes to the yamen to file a complaint, as long as Qin Wannian goes to say hello, Chen Xinglie will naturally get away with it."
"Shut up!" Gongsun Xuanji was furious and rebuked: "Don't forget, you are a high-ranking official of the imperial court, and you are a first-class official. With such an identity, it is absolutely rebellious to say such words that do not believe in the imperial court!"
Ba Jitian walked directly into the banquet hall and said coldly: "Enough! This officer respects you for being old and knowledgeable, so that you are called the Taifu. The Taifu is nothing but teaching and teaching to the Prince. You have no real power. Don’t take yourself too seriously. Today’s matter, hum!"
Gongsun Xuanji asked, "What are you going to do?"
Ba Jitian came to the left and sat down, staring at Chen Xinglie, then grabbed a pair of chopsticks, snapped one off, and said, "Chen Xinglie, you have to die! As for Qin Wannian..."
Snapped!
Ba Jitian broke another chopstick and said, "The steed dog slapped the official, and the official will return it ten times and one hundred times."
Gongsun Xuanji said, "Does Ba Shangshu have this ability?"
Ba Jitian dropped the broken chopsticks in his hand, patted the sawdust in his palm, and said: "The Taifu thinks that the world of this great dynasty is the world of your majesty or the world of the queen dowager?"
Gongsun Xuanji stood up violently and said, "Of course it is your Majesty!"
But as soon as this remark came out, Gongsun Xuanji felt very unconvincing again, and could not help but shook his head and sighed, and sat down.
"Ha ha……"
Ba Jitian sneered at the corners of his mouth, "Tao Fu really is a sensible person."
Ba Jitian's face has been swollen high, making his unsightly appearance even more ugly. Now he has a sneer, and his face is distorted, and he looks completely unhuman.
More like a demon!
Chen Xinglie suddenly remembered the old witch dowager who had not officially met.
In my memory, the real face of the old witch is much uglier than the pig-headed face of Ba Jitian now.
"Are you Chen Xinglie?"
Ba Jitian stared at Chen Xinglie, as if he had only now remembered that the person involved in this matter today is this Chen Xinglie. It also seemed that he had never seen Chen Xinglie until now that he found such a person sitting in the banquet hall.
This is clearly intentional.
Deliberately put on a posture that did not put Chen Xinglie in his eyes.
Deliberately arrogant.
In this way, to set off Ba Jitian's own nobility and arrogance.
Unfortunately, the face is swollen.
Some are too arrogant.
However, Ba Jitian is also a high-ranking official in the DPRK. He has been an official for many years, and he has the majesty of a superior, coupled with his extraordinary posture, but also put the word arrogant into a bit.
However, Chen Xinglie didn't bother to speak at all.
There is no point in talking about such bureaucrats.
As for rhetoric and sophistry, Chen Xinglie has no interest at all.
Just at this time.
Footsteps sounded outside the banquet hall.
Zhen Haojie walked over with Ah Chou.
The two stood at the door.
A Chou looked at the hall timidly, and finally fixed his gaze on Ba Jitian. After looking at Ba Jitian's face, the little girl gradually frowned, as if very uncomfortable.
"Come here."
Chen Xinglie beckoned and his voice was kind.
A Chou lowered her head and walked over, not daring to raise her head, unwilling to let others see her strange face clearly, but quietly looked at Ba Jitian, and kept biting her little lip.
Chen Xinglie asked: "Uncomfortable?"
A Chou nodded and said softly, "As long as he sees that his face is half as large and half as small, it is extremely uncomfortable."
Obsessive-compulsive disorder?
Unexpectedly, the supreme true dragon A Chou, who will be famous in the future, turned out to be a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Chen Xinglie suddenly found it interesting.
"A Ugly boy, it will not be uncomfortable soon."
Chen Xinglie put down his wine glass, stood up, and stared condescendingly at Ba Jitian who was sitting across from the table, slapped his hand...
Snapped!
