Chapter 18 Hole cards are out

Lou Yuyu left Chanxin Garden and immediately went to Mei Xin Garden, and Jixiang welcomed him into the door.

When he entered, Xue Shicai was eating, and when he saw Lou Yuyu coming in, he asked people to withdraw the meal.

"How do you have time to come over today?" Xue Shicai didn't think that Lou Yuyu was here to chat with her.

"I came this time to tell Chang Xuan about what we didn't finish talking about last time," Lou Yuyu thought that Xue Shicai should have been waiting for him for a long time.

"You all stand down, I'll talk to Lou Yuyu," Xue Shicai sent out all the people who were waiting around him, and Lou Yuyu, who was relieved, continued the topic: "Then Mo Chenghuan is ready?"

"I only owe you this east wind," Lou Yuyu smiled wickedly and slyly.

A few days later, when it was the day when He Chong set off for the south, Dongtianji asked Xue Shizhang to see him off, and he had already discussed and arranged it earlier, He Chong walked out of the city gate and followed the caravan to the Xintong freight road.

Two days after He Chong left, there was a crazy rumor circulating in the streets and alleys that He Chong was nominally going to suppress, but in fact he was going to disaster relief.

It is also said that He Chong did not know when he got acquainted with the principal of the Xintong Commercial Bank, and actually persuaded Xintong to help him transport grain from Fenglan, this rumor stirred up a thousand waves, and the people of the Sima family and the Mo family panicked, if this matter is really as the rumors say, once He Chong's disaster relief is successful, then the entire three southern provinces will fall into the hands of Xue Shizhang, you know, the three southern provinces have always been the most important military fortress of Canglei.

Canglei's largest naval army is here, and there are several military workshops, as long as He Chong does this well, he can make the entire south owe him a favor, most of these naval forces and military workshops are absorbed from the locals, as long as the south remembers his kindness, it is not difficult to control the south in the future.

The more Sima Kun thought about it, the more scared he became, and he wanted to stop it, but he Chong was covered by Xintong, they couldn't help He Chong at all, and the killers sent out again and again couldn't even get close to He Chong's body, and dozens of top killers were sent out, He Chong didn't even have a sword out of the sheath, and Xintong's dart masters had already solved all the troubles for him, after all, the reason why Xintong was invincible in the business world was not only because of those long-sleeved shopkeepers who were good at dancing in business, but also because of the merits of these extraordinary and bloody and sweaty dart guards。

Just when everyone's attention was on He Chong, the palace maid in charge of Concubine Jing's courtyard was arrested by the Criminal Procuratorate on charges of stealing treasures from the palace.

In fact, this kind of crime is not a big deal in general, at most, Concubine Jing meditated in the palace for a few days, but when the Criminal Procuratorate searched for the stolen goods in Concubine Jing's courtyard, it was found that there were several supreme treasures that should have been placed in the Treasure Hall for safekeeping, each of which was priceless.

As soon as this incident came out, Xue Shizhang was like a hunting dog, seeing that the prey was biting tightly, he insisted on extending the small crime of stealing to the height of disrespect to the emperor and the thunder, and this one after another big sin high hats were pressed on the top of Concubine Jing's head, and Dongtian was extremely helpless, so he had to abolish Concubine Jing's concubine position, demoted to Yuxiu, and moved to Mei Xindong - Zhu Yuge.

Sima Yi lost a Concubine Jing inexplicably, and immediately sent someone to investigate the cause of Concubine Jing's innocent sitting because her subordinates committed the crime of theft, but she didn't expect that before she had time to investigate, the truth surfaced by herself.

It turned out that Concubine Jing's father committed an accident in Rongcheng, robbed the women, and forced a family of three to death.

Originally, this matter was over, but unexpectedly, halfway to bite the gold, the staff officer of the Mo family army under the seat of General Zhou Lin Qin Hao took leave to return to his hometown to visit the old lady, passing by here, heard the family of the county Cheng talking about this matter, where can the chivalrous staff officer tolerate such a rebellious thing in the eyes of the chivalrous and courageous officer, and immediately returned to the barracks to report to Zhou.

This week Lin Gang is not a, as soon as he heard this, he immediately asked people to send a letter to An Minle, the Jiedu envoy who governed Rongcheng, to report the matter, this Rongcheng is under the jurisdiction of Yuzhou, and the Jiedu envoy of Yuzhou is Xue Shizhang's person, and as soon as he got the news, he immediately reported it to Xue Shizhang.

When Xue Shizhang heard this, he just took the opportunity to eradicate Lu Jiakang, a thorn in his eye, this Lu Jiakang grasped the economic lifeline of Sima Kun, Sima Kun's financial resources were all controlled by Lu Jiakang, and as soon as Lu Jiakang was eliminated, it would be equivalent to cutting off Xue Shizhang's important economic source.

After the plan, he immediately replied to the Yuzhou Jiedu envoy to take over the case, and at the same time, Xue Shizhang also arranged for someone to block all the news, and Yanjing's attention on this matter was on He Chong, and Sima Kun did not find out that he had cut off contact with Lu Jiakang at all.

Everything was as expected, An Minle successfully convicted Lu Jiakang in Rongcheng, the only unexpected thing was that Xue Shizhang blocked the news strictly, but he only omitted to enter the palace to let Lu Yuchan raise money to dredge one.

Lu Yuchan was also in a panic, and forgot to inform Sima Yi of the matter, only to end up that Sima Yi didn't react, her charges had already been implemented, and she was deposed as a concubine.

By the time Sima Yi came back to investigate the reason, An Minle had closed the case and was reporting to the imperial court.

Originally, the Mo and Xue families intervened in this matter, and as soon as it reached the court, you said it, I said it, how could Sima Kun intervene, and the two parties directly carried out verbal persecution, and gave Lu Jiakang's guilt, without giving Sima Kun and others any chance to make a defense.

Lu Jiakang's crime was convicted, Xue Shizhang was not willing to give up, and directly mentioned Lu Yuchan, who had been deposed, on the charge that Lu Yuchan did not report it, abused power for personal gain, and wanted to exonerate Lu Jiakang, which was like a crime.

Dongtianji wanted to defend Lu Yuchan for a few words, but was refuted by Xue Shizhang's righteous words, and had no choice but to sentence Lu Yuchan heavily, take over Lu Jiakang's direct beheading, his belongings were copied, Lu Yuchan was deprived of the beauty rank, and sentenced to be confined in Qingyue Palace for life.

Ruihua Palace

Sima Yi was making a lot of noise in the store, smashing things to vent his anger, just as Xiaoxue ran in.

"Niangniang, the slave has something to report!"

"Go out and give it all to the palace! The palace doesn't want to hear anything!!" Sima Yi was dizzy with anger, how could he care about anything else.

"About Xue Shijing!" Of course, Xiao Xue also wanted to follow Sima Yi's order to withdraw, but she felt that if Sima Yi didn't know about this matter, Sima Yi would be even more angry.

"Say!" As soon as Sima Yi heard the word Xue, he immediately stopped smashing his hand.

"The slave maid has already found out the origin of Yang Fu, and it has something to do with Xue Shijing," Xiao Xue is also a person who has undergone some training, and she is still calm in the face of Sima Yi's anger.

"Go on. Sima Yi sat in the lobby and looked at Xiaoxue Dao condescendingly.

"This Yang Fu is under Luo Zhiqi's control, and Luo Zhiqi doesn't seem to be involved in the factional dispute, but secretly meets Xue Shijing, and the slave maid sees that this matter is strange, and then investigates it, and finds that many people in the palace who don't seem to be attached to any faction have actually secretly intersected with Xue Shijing for many years, and a lot of news in the palace has been transmitted outside the palace through their hands," Xiao Xue tepidly told Sima Yi all the clues she found.

"Okay, you Xue family brother! The inside and the outside should be combined! Today, this palace will let you know that I am not a soft persimmon, and I will knead it with you, and Xiao Xue will pass on the orders of this palace! Use all the resources in our hands! I will leave no eyeliner of the Xue family brothers in the palace!" Sima Yi gritted his mouth and silver teeth with a "gurgling" sound, and his face was hideous as if he wanted to cut the Xue brothers with a thousand knives.

"Niangniang, if you are so excited, I am afraid that it will anger the Xue brothers, and when the time comes, they will fight back, and I am afraid that we will not be able to retreat!" Although Xiao Xue also hated this Xue brother, she could also clearly distinguish that it would be inappropriate for Sima Yi to do things like this.

"Those who become big things are not informal, in order to wipe out these two brothers, what is it to sacrifice a few small pawns! This palace wants them to die! This palace wants them to die!" Sima Yi was dumbfounded, he only wanted to take revenge on this Xue brother, how could he manage so much.

"Yes!" Xiao Xue saw that she couldn't be dissuaded, so she had to follow the order.

Within a few days, the news from the palace reached Xue Shijing's ears, and Xue Shijing was naturally angry, so many ups and downs were avoided, but today he was swept away by this Sima Yi several eyeliners at once, which made him how not to be annoyed and how not to be angry.

In a fit of anger, Xue Shijing decided to fight back, so the battle between Xue Shijing and Sima Yi to clear each other's eyeliner kicked off in full swing.

Seven days later, Xue Shijing suddenly realized that this war of attrition did him no good at all, just consuming the savings he had accumulated over the years in vain, so he hibernated.

In this room, Sima Yi didn't react at all, and was still tirelessly clearing Xue Shijing's eyeliner, but he found that Xue Shijing suddenly stopped resisting, it seemed that there was not much eyeliner left, and it seemed that he was deliberately hiding.

But Sima Yi couldn't control that much, she only regarded this as a victory, and Xue Shijing retreated, which was showing weakness.

When Sima Yi was triumphant, Chu Luoluo came to the door.

"The concubine has seen Niangniang," Chu Luoluo hurriedly saluted and came to Sima Yi's side.

Seeing Chu Luoluo's brows, Sima Yi knew that it was an important matter, and immediately motioned for the attendants to withdraw from the hall.

"Niangniang, have you been clearing Xue Shijing's eyeliner recently?" Chu Luoluo was impatient, so he asked bluntly.

"Yes," Sima Yi said overjoyed.

"Why didn't Niangniang tell me?" Chu Luoluo had been fighting this war for more than ten days, and she only got the news today.

"What's the matter, do you still have your permission to do things in this palace?!" Chu Luoluo's words similar to reproach made Sima Yi think that Chu Luoluo was challenging her authority, which made her very displeased.

"The concubine doesn't dare," Chu Luoluo realized that his words were wrong, and immediately knelt down to apologize.

"Then what do you mean?" Sima Yi glared at Chu Luoluo angrily to demonstrate his honor.

"Don't worry about it, please listen to the concubine," Chu Luoluo knew that this matter was not suitable for strong arguments, so he had to persuade him softly.

"Say!" Seeing that Chu Luoluo was soft, Sima Yi no longer cared.

"Why did Niangniang want to fight with that Xue Shijing?" Chu Luoluo didn't dare to say directly, Sima Yi was stupid, so he had to guide slowly.

"In order to let this Xue Shijing know, this palace has a way to let him die!" Speaking of Xue Shijing, Sima Yi was furious.

"Since Niangniang has said that there is a way, then why rush at this time?" Chu Luoluo was saying in disguise that Sima Yi had done something foolish for the sake of a momentary hurry.

"What do you say?" Sima Yi could hear Chu Luoluo was in his words, but he couldn't understand what Chu Luoluo meant.

"You and Xue Shijing have a lose-lose fight, just let others see the joke, you can't get any benefit!" If she had known that Sima Yi would be so impulsive, she would have been desperate to stop her, but the most angry thing was that Sima Yi didn't take her words to heart at all, and completely forgot to inform Xue Shijing, and even called her over to discuss together.

"Who said there is no benefit! Xue Shijing has succumbed to this palace! They have also lost a lot of chess pieces, and now he is like a turtle with a shrunken head, holding his fiasco and grieving alone!" Sima Yi only thought of Xue Shijing's defeated appearance, and his heart was filled with joy.

"He is soft, he has seen through the essence, and he doesn't want to consume it with you!" Maybe this was originally a trap prepared by others, and I wanted to watch them fight and lose both, so they could sit back and enjoy the success.

"You're not right! We've won!" Sima Yi had already thought of what Chu Luoluo wanted to express, but she just didn't want to believe it.

"Where did we win? After fighting with Xue Shijing to the death, in the end, not only were there only a few people left who could be used, but also the whereabouts of the remaining people were exposed!" Chu Luoluo hated that iron could not become steel, and shook his head with regret.

After Chu Luoluo said this, Sima Yi finally recognized the essence, and was shocked and couldn't say a word, his eyes were full of remorse.

"What should I do now?!" Sima Yi grabbed Chu Luoluo's arm like a straw.

"The matter has come to this, the most important thing we should do to be blind is to let that Mo Chenghuan suffer some losses, so that we can make up for the losses that she calculated when she came back," Chu Luoluo read Mo Chenghuan's name viciously.

"Then what should I do?" Sima Yi also hated Mo Chenghuan, but after this incident, she didn't dare to act rashly.

"This matter has to be considered in the long run, let's first put our remaining manpower in order, so that we don't find the people who need to do things at that time. "Chu Luoluo is waiting for an opportunity, Mo Chenghuan is too smart, and rash action will only outweigh the losses, so they need to be patient.

Xue Shijing thought about it at home, and finally understood, ventured into the palace, and asked Xue Shicai to call Lou Yuyu over to test it.

"What has Doctor Lou been busy with lately?" Xue Shicai endured her anger and pretended to gossip with Lou Yuyu calmly.

"Hongfu on the Holy Throne has been busy helping the Holy Shang to regulate his body recently," Lou Yuyu certainly knew Xue Shicai's purpose, but he didn't want to say it clearly, he wanted Xue Shicai to open this mouth first.

"You haven't been in touch with Mo Yuxiu recently?" Xue Shicai thought that he had won a big battle, and he didn't cheer and celebrate.

"Mo Yuxiu is a beauty in the palace, and the official is the imperial doctor in the palace, it would be inappropriate to meet from time to time," Lou Yuyu felt that since Xue Shicai was willing to play sloppy with him, he didn't mind having to say a few more words with her.

"Doctor Lou don't say such things against his will," Xue Shicai got up and walked to Lou Yuyu's side and walked around Lou Yuyu: "Lou Yuyu's words are inappropriate, but in fact, he runs Chan Xinyuan more diligently than anyone else, and even other people's own doctors can't reach it." ”

"Where does Chang Xuan speak, this is the imperial doctor in the palace, which is the honor of you, me and him, this Mo Yuxiu trusts the lower official is the honor of the lower official, just like Chang Xuan, the lower official also runs diligently to this Mei Xinyuan, isn't that how unwell Chang Xuan is?" Xue Shicai wanted to push the secret words to the bright side, but Lou Yuyu wanted to come secretly with you.

"You!" Xue Shicai was very unhappy when Lou Yuyu countered the army, and anger immediately appeared on his face: "Liaison, don't think that Sima Yi's idiot can't see it, so he treats everyone as a fool, and everyone treats these things as accidents, in fact, these are all designed by you, right!"

Lou Yuyu shrugged his shoulders innocently and said, "What has happened these days to make Chang Xuan so angry?

How could he not have received it, Luo Zhiqi and other old attendants who had been in charge of various departments in the palace for many years had fallen one after another in just a few days, such a big thing, even the three great medical officers in the Imperial Medical Department who usually "didn't listen to things outside the window and only read the books of sages" were amazed, and he said this purely to provoke Xue Shicai.

"Don't pretend to be crazy and stupid here, don't you know this? You are the driving force behind this!" Xue Shicai heard Lou Yuyu's words that he wanted to stay out of the matter, and he was furious, and instantly forgot Xue Shijing's words of "don't get angry".

"Chang Xuandon't want to slander the lower officials, the lower officials don't have this ability, the only thing the lower officials can do is to treat the sick and solve the disease, where do they have the ability to do other things, Chang Xuan can't talk nonsense," Lou Yuyu looked frightened, and in a few words, he shirked the charges Xue Shicai said.

"Lou Yuyu! Even now, you still treat me as a fool! I really don't dare to touch you!" Xue Shicai has been tired of Lou Yuyu for a long time, and today he finally waited until Xue Shijing also had an opinion on him, and he didn't seize the opportunity to give Lou Yuyu a dismissal.

"If Chang Xuan wants to say this, the lower official has no choice, Chang Xuan has already determined that what Chang Xuan said is related to the lower official, and it will be useless for the lower official to explain, since Chang Xuan no longer trusts the lower official, then the lower official and Chang Xuan have broken off the friendship during this time, Chang Xuan has doubts about the lower official, and it is not interesting for the lower official to stay here with Chang Xuan," Lou Yuyu pretended to regret.

"I don't have any friendship with you!" Xue Shicai returned to his position, lest he avoid annoying Lou Yuyu.

"Since Chang Xuan said that he has no friendship with the lower officials, then the lower officials' prescriptions that can make people pregnant will be left to others. After Lou Yuyu finished speaking, he turned around and walked out the door.

"Wait! What did you just say?" Xue Shicai hurriedly kept Lou Yuyu.

"Xiaguan will leave the recipe to others," Lou Yuyu deliberately omitted the most important words.

"What recipe?" Xue Shicai raised her eyebrows and asked suspiciously.

"A recipe for making people pregnant. ”

"Do you really have a recipe for making people pregnant?

"Then why don't you give it to Mo Chenghuan and give it to me?" Xue Shicai has been used by Lou Yuyu too many times, and he is already afraid of this Lou Yuyu and does not dare to trust him easily.

"Xia Guan mentioned this matter to Mo Yuxiu, but Yuxiu said that her goal was too obvious, and now she is a thorn in the eyes of others, and if she is pregnant with a dragon species, she is afraid that she will not be sure to keep the child," Lou Yuyu said the truth in the second half of the sentence, but it was not Mo Chenghuan alone, it was their unanimous opinion.

Xue Shicai was silent, she also felt that Lou Yuyu's words made some sense, but she didn't dare to decide this matter alone.

"You made me think about it. ”

"Xiaguan has time for Chang Xuan to think about it. ”
