The cicadas in midsummer perched on the plane tree and chirped non-stop, the little eunuch was working hard with the felt, and the little palace maid who was stealing snacks on the side looked curiously at the door of the hall not far away, and saw a blue-clothed eunuch hurriedly walking into the inner hall, and couldn't help but stretch his neck a little.

"Hurry up, look at something, be careful that your eyeballs are gouged out. The little eunuch frightened.

The little palace maid was not afraid at all, and nodded in the direction of Shouren Palace: "Did you see the blue-clothed eunuch just now, it was a person from the front hall, you said that you came in such a hurry, is there anything important?"

"You're still talking nonsense, don't you think your life is too long?" the little eunuch raised the bamboo pole in his hand and made a silent motion.

The palace maid smashed her mouth, nodded carelessly, and suddenly frowned, and hummed in a suppressed voice: "I want to be Gong, you wait for me for a while." Then he put a handful of dates in his hand in the eunuch's arms without saying anything, and ran in the direction of Shouren Palace.

Compared with other places, Shouren Palace is obviously much quieter, but the surrounding cicadas have long been driven away, the old lady in the inner hall heard the sound outside the curtain, glanced at the graceful woman on the rattan chair, put down the fan in her hand, walked out lightly, and after a while, she turned back and whispered in the woman's ear: "Queen Mother, people are coming." ”

Queen Mother Wei, although she is in her forties, but she is very well maintained, she still looks like she is in her early thirties, she slowly opened a pair of phoenix eyes, sharp and lazy, slightly bowed.

After a while, the blue-clothed eunuch came to him with broken steps and knelt down and said, "Knock on the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is blessed with Jin'an." ”

Wei Shi lazily closed his eyes and lay down, and the blue-clothed eunuch glanced at the old woman beside him, and then continued: "In the hall today, there is only one important matter, Liao Weizhang impeached more than 30 ministers, saying that their extravagance and waste at this juncture made the people feel cold, which led to the refugees making trouble, the emperor was furious, scolded the ministers, not only fined each of them 100 gold, but also ordered the household department to complete the harvest of the land within three days, this donation of land is already a certainty. ”

After the blue-clothed eunuch finished speaking, he respectfully waited for the above to speak, and after a while, he heard the old lady say, "I know, go down", he got up, took a string of jasper beads from the little palace maid next to him, put it in his arms, and kowtowed, and then bowed and retreated.

After a long time, Wei Shi opened his eyes slightly, stroked the hair on his chest, and said lazily: "Zifu, it seems that this emperor of the Mourning family is going to be restless again." ”

The one who is called Zifu is the grandmother who has been with the Wei family for more than 20 years, although she has silver and white hair, but people look at it without ambiguity, and her spirit is very strong.

The old slave understands that the queen mother and the emperor have always had a deep relationship between mother and son, so they naturally support the emperor. Zifu asked the little palace maid on the side to present pen, ink and paper.

Wei smiled slightly: "It's not in vain that you have followed me for so many years, but you still know me best." She raised her wrist lightly and dropped four small characters on the paper.

Zifu ordered the palace maid to remove the pen and ink paper, and he carefully folded the written paper, and when he saw Wei's head, he turned around and went to the inner room.

In the blue sky, the sun hung brightly, and a white shadow swished up the sky, passing over the glazed bricks and tiles, but it didn't wait to fly out of this high wall, like an arrow that had missed the string, and fell with a whizz.

"You can't fly as fast as my slingshot. The silver bell-like sound of excitement muttered quietly, and a few cooes came from the dark alley, and after a while, the white shadow swished up into the air again, and the speed was so fast that it was impossible to see a trace in the blink of an eye.

In the outer hall of Shouren Palace, the little eunuch had already finished eating a handful of dates and was muttering something.

"Come on, come on, what are you muttering, don't I just go out of a compliment, just a moment of work, you will count me?" The little palace maid stretched out her hand: "Where are my dates?"

The little eunuch opened his mouth, and there was a piece of red date skin stuck to his teeth, "Who told you to go for so long, Mama said that this cicada has to be rushed by the two of us together, and I will do the work alone, you are very relaxed." You deserve to have a bad stomach, you know how to eat and eat in a day, I will finish eating for you, and it will save you from diarrhea again. ”

The little palace maid pouted unhappily, "I'll finish eating after eating, I'll go to the kitchen to get it when I get it, hum!"

Liao Weizhang has been in a good mood since the early dynasty, he can be regarded as a group of colleagues who don't see the right eyes to be dumbfounded today, and the emperor also ordered the household department to register the field register of the ministers to donate within three days, and also stipulated that people below the word field do not take the word field, and the word field, so that the minister is also saved from the barren field to fill the number.

The carriage stopped with a "hoo", the entourage opened the curtain, Liao Weizhang jumped off the horse, and the uncle Wu and Dou Guan in front also got off the carriage, and the three of them invited each other, and Dou Guan led them into the inner courtyard of Dali Temple.

"Today, Zi Ning fought a loud battle, I see that those who are deflated are like turtle grandchildren, and they don't dare to say a word more. "Uncle Wu is rough and heroic, and he speaks very heartily.

After the three of them sat down, Liao Weizhang twisted his eyebrows, "These are trivial matters, and the investigation of the disaster relief case is the most important."

Last night, I went back and thought about it, we might as well divide the troops into three routes, one person in charge of the household inspection department, one person in charge of the investigation department, and one person in charge of interrogating these refugees.

Although I don't expect to find out anything, but at present, I can only start from this point, and I hope to find some clues. ”

Uncle Wu nodded approvingly: "Qian Youchen and Cao Wanli, the two old foxes, are very cunning, they dare to be so presumptuous under the noses of the imperial city, it can be seen that what they do must be leaky, it is difficult to find really useful clues, but this account book still has to be checked, in case something unusual can be found." ”

Dou Guan thought for a while, "Since that's the case, then I won't be polite with the two of you, how about I go to check on the household department?"

Liao Weizhang and Uncle Wu naturally had no opinion, the two glanced at each other again, and Uncle Wu waved his hand and said: "I am a scholar of the Criminal Department, and the investigation of the case is not as careful as you, but the judge has a set." ”

"In that case, then I might as well be respectful. ”

The three of them each received a division of labor, Uncle Wu stayed in Dali Temple to be responsible for interrogating the captured refugees, and Dou Guan and Liao Weizhang went to the Yamen of the Six Ministries together.

A white shadow fell in the sky, fluttering its wings and cooing, and the gray-clothed little man stepped forward to take a look, and saw that the pigeon's feet were red, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly took the bamboo tube on the pigeon's feet and ran to the inner courtyard.

"My lord, there is news from the palace. Qiu Bing handed over the note.

Qiu Wanao only glanced at it and looked away, Qiu Bing understood, and put the letter paper into his sleeve.
