Chapter 52: Blame

Xue Wenfu was woken up from his sleep by an anxious-looking servant today. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After hearing about the incident, he washed up briefly, changed into an official uniform and followed the father-in-law in the palace into the palace in a carriage.

His brow furrowed, and his mood was not light.

A few days ago, when two officers and soldiers were innocently killed, he knew in his heart about Chen He's greed for ink.

Greedy for a small amount of public silver, shoddy such things have been a lot in the past dynasties, this time their Ministry of Industry is just a collaborative dam repair, he wants to manage it and is powerless, and he is afraid of Xue Jingran, so he did not react for a while.

But now it seems that what Chen He is greedy for is probably the big head, and the fine silver left behind is used to repair the dam......

It's really ridiculous, a few houses have collapsed in a single earthquake, and no people have been injured, but most of the dams built by the imperial court have been destroyed......

In such a serious situation, I am afraid that the saints will have to fidget, and those who are responsible for them are even more guilty.

That's not what he's worried about. Under normal circumstances, if they were to blame, it stands to reason that the crime of their Ministry of Engineering was not big. But there is one thing that is too strange. The dam was built with an admirable amount of inferior materials, and the officials of the Ministry of Industry were all experts and could see through it at a glance, but he had never heard from anyone......

Is it just because he is afraid of Huang Zheng behind Chen He, or rather, Xue Jingran?

He twisted his eyebrows and pursed his lips: Could it be, in this matter, there are also officials from his Ministry of Industry involved, right?

With a feeling of anxiety, when I arrived at the white jade steps in front of the Qianqing Palace, I saw two other people coming from the other side.

His eyes were cold, and he looked at the two of them.

Seeing that the two glanced at each other, the person on the left stepped forward and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Lord Xue, why, you were also summoned by the Holy Lord?"

The person who spoke was Chen He, but seeing that he behaved moderately, he greeted him unhurriedly, without showing a trace of nervousness.

Xue Wenfu was even more suspicious in his heart, as the culprit, he was about to be questioned, how could he still laugh? Did he make up his mind that he would not be exposed? Where did he get his confidence......

"Master Xue, I haven't seen Brother Ling for a long time, and I don't know how he is doing?" but Huang Zheng seemed to suddenly remember something, and opened his mouth with a smile.

Xue Wenfu glanced at him, his face was not shocked, but the alarm bell sounded in his heart, making his younger brother ...... Naturally, it will not be the third child who has been like a hermit who has only the ambition of idle clouds and wild cranes to the outside world for so many years, then only the fourth child who also serves in the Ministry of Industry...... In such a situation, he was suddenly mentioned......

He clenched his fists, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said with a smile: "It's hard for Lord Huang to be so meticulous, the fourth child has always been honest and responsible, so naturally nothing will happen." ”

Huang Zheng smiled slightly: "So that's the case." "I don't see a wave.

Xue Wenfu's heart sank, this Huang Zheng had made up his mind to protect Chen He, did he mention the fourth child to make himself scruples, and not to talk nonsense in front of the saint for a while?

He was in a state of confusion. On the one hand, he was thinking about how a person as responsible as the fourth child could get involved in these things, and on the other hand, he was suspicious that Mrs. Huang went directly to the East Mansion instead of the West Mansion a few days ago......

He closed his eyes, no matter what, first delayed, and asked what role the fourth child played in this is the most important, if it is just their slander, then these two can run today and can't run tomorrow, sooner or later.

But if that's the case......

He shook off these thoughts, and without looking at the two of them more, he went straight up the stone steps and into the main hall.

Chen He showed a little nervousness at this time, and asked quietly: "Big brother, does this Xue stunned person understand?"

Huang Zheng glanced at him unhappily, and also went up the stone steps, but slowed down his pace and said in a low voice: "This is the palace inside, you should pay attention to what you say." ”

Chen He nodded hurriedly and looked at Huang Zheng with blank eyes.

Huang Zheng glanced at Xue Wenfu's back, and was confident: "Don't worry, he has a delicate heart, but he has always disdained to associate with us people." Hehe, the people of the Xue family are all one top and one to protect the short......"

Chen He was a little surprised, he didn't think that Xue Wenfu was as clever as Huang Zheng said. You know, this guy has never socialized in officialdom, and he either accompanies the princess's wife in the mansion or builds projects under the command of the Ministry of Works.

In his heart, such a person is just a stupid person who is lucky enough to read and read. If he hadn't married a princess and was born in the Xue family, where could he have such good luck and sit in the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Industry at a young age?

What kind of title, he sneered at it even more, such a skill, in his opinion, is not a skill at all.

It's just that the person in front of him is his big backer, and he can't question it, so he smiled brightly: "What the eldest brother said is, I'm relieved." ”

Huang Zheng glanced at him, only boredom in his heart. In this way, he will only meet the mediocre officials who will reap the benefits, and dare to look down on Xue Wenfu......

You must know that in the eyes of Song Ge Lao, this is a more powerful opponent than Xue Xianyan back then, not only familiar with the world, but also disguised as a lonely minister, the most important thing is that with the irreplaceable role of the prime minister, he can stand tall in the court, not to mention the emperor's sister-in-law, how to look, he will be a stable candidate to enter the cabinet in the future.

It's Chen He, if it weren't for his sister-in-law, and there was that person, he wouldn't care if something happened, and it was only right to get rid of it from afar.

"Okay, okay, let's go in quickly, in front of the Holy One for a while, you have to cheer up your spirits. Huang Zheng said impatiently, carrying the hem of his official uniform up the last step.

A hint of fierceness flashed in Chen He's eyes, and he still responded like a pug.

Entering the Jinluan Palace, Emperor Li Yue sat on the top with an expressionless face, holding a book of music in his hand.

Xue Wenfu was already standing on the left side with his hands down, and the two bowed together, but they didn't hear the emperor ask them to get up.

Chen He's waist bones are not good all the year round, and he couldn't stand it after kneeling for a while, so he raised his head and looked at the emperor, wanting to say something.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he looked up, he saw a golden piece flying towards his head, and with a muffled sound, Chen He's head immediately turned red.

He was stunned, Huang Zheng next to him secretly scolded a fool, and quietly pulled his sleeve, he reacted, and kowtowed busily, and kept chanting in his mouth: "The emperor has atonement ......for his sins" Xue Wenfu was secretly scolded in his heart, or did he give him eye medicine in front of the emperor in advance? and Huang Zheng, it's all bullshit inferences!

But he listened to Huang Zheng and said unhurriedly: "Holy Lord, Chen He, who is subordinate to the minister, is indeed guilty of negligence, but it is only right to ask the Holy Lord to arrest the culprit first, recover his greedy silver, and appease the people!"
