Chapter 53: Discovery
The emperor sneered: "Isn't the culprit right in front of me?" What else do you need to check? ā
Huang Zheng looked surprised, and quickly glanced at Xue Wenfu, who was silent: "Why did the emperor say this?" The few people present are all loyal and good generals. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
The emperor saw his reaction in his eyes and waved his hand: "You don't need to look at Xue Aiqing, who is responsible for building the dam, and who is the most suspicious, I know it clearly." ā
Chen He came back to his senses and saw that Huang Zheng glanced at him, hurriedly crawled forward a few steps, and shouted loudly: "The Holy Lord is clear, and the minister has also been framed......
The emperor's expression moved slightly, and he said coldly: "Then you should tell me, who framed you?" And how is it framed? My lord is the capital of the Imperial History. The second half of the sentence is said word by word, quite a bit of gnashing of teeth.
Chen He broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly put all the words prepared in advance on the bright side.
"Returning to the Holy Lord, although the minister led the supervision this time, many of the matters were handed over to the local prefect of Hanyang Prefecture to supervise. The prefect Wu Qingquan has always had a good name, and the minister thought that the strong dragon would not suppress the head snake, and it might be smoother to hand it over to him, but he didn't know that this kind of thing happened, it was really the negligence of the ministers......"
After speaking, he glanced at the emperor, and saw that the other party did not answer immediately, so he looked indignant: "This incident must be caused by greed for ink, three years of Qingzhi County, 100,000 snowflakes of silver." Weichen thought that this Wu Qingquan would be different from others, but he also had an ugly face...... When it comes to this silver tael, Weichen can assure the emperor that he is not greedy for more than half of the money, and if the emperor does not believe it, he can send someone to search the minister's mansion......"
The tone sounded very real and not fake.
The emperor couldn't help but feel a little shaken in his heart, paused, and said, "You two should get up." ā
Chen He was overjoyed, although his back was very sore, he still helped Huang Zheng to stand up.
The emperor saw it in his eyes, and he had some calculations in his heart.
After giving the three of them a seat, Chen He's tone became more comfortable.
He straightened up, and babbled "clearly" the ins and outs of the matter with a handful of snot and tears, Huang Zheng interjected a sentence or two from time to time, and the emperor's eyes gradually warmed a little.
Xue Wenfu listened from the sidelines and remained silent, this matter has nothing to do with him, silence is the best way. It's just that there is a thoughtful expression between the eyebrows.
ā¦ā¦
Lian Jingqian left the Xue family, did not return to the Hou Mansion, nor did he go home, just wandering on the street.
I don't know why, he's in a bad mood right now, and he's not very interested in doing anything.
There is a tea shed on the side of the street, in which three or two flat-headed people gather to drink tea, his expression moved, he also asked for a pot of tea, sat down, and drank slowly.
While drinking tea, while thinking back to the scene just now, I suddenly felt a little ridiculous.
Clearly said before that he felt that her eyes were real, but he had to ask her step by step why she wanted to help him, and when he got this answer, was he really relieved? What kind of satisfactory answer did he want?
He played with the teacup with his fingers, a little absent-mindedly, and after a while, he let out a long breath.
It's his mistake, the heart of the villain. Ingratitude is not the right way to be a man, he should not be like this, and he will not do it again in the future.
The moment he raised his eyes, he saw a horse-drawn carriage speeding through the downtown area, leaving a sky full of dust.
He couldn't help but stare at him, threw a copper plate on the table, and dodged out of the tea shed, following in the direction of the carriage.
If he was not mistaken, the sign of the carriage was ......
After following about seven or eight streets, the carriage stopped in front of a private house.
Lian Jingqian wiped his sweat, it was so far away, and it was a little difficult for him to do it lightly.
Then he saw a man wearing a black cloak, covering half of his face, and said something to the coachman, who nodded his head and galloped away again.
Lian Jingqian saw the man looking around, so he hid his figure, and when he knocked on the door, a woman in her twenties with a graceful figure opened the door, and the two looked at each other, and the man quickly flashed in and closed the door.
Lian Jingqian's face couldn't help showing a playful look, and he waited for a moment before flashing onto the eaves and looking at the scene inside.
The man in the black cloak took off the cloak and sat on a bluestone bench in the courtyard. The woman who opened the door for him smiled and put on a pot of tea, poured the tea herself, but was pulled into his arms.
Even Jingqian saw that the two of them were grinding their ears and temples, and they muttered softly, and they didn't look at it anymore, and dodged down.
Walking on the road, he couldn't help but laugh helplessly.
This is really a coincidence, both uncle and nephew were arrested by him. He said that Kong Xian was familiar with this matter, it turned out that the upper beam was not right and the lower beam was crooked, and someone had already taught him.
However, if he remembered correctly, Huang Zheng should have been summoned into the palace for questioning today, and he should have just come out of the palace at this time, so he came to this outer room in such a hurry......
He often passed by this street, but he didn't see the Huang family's carriage passing by once, but this time he ran through the downtown area so openly, and when he arrived, he hurriedly let people go......
I put the outer room on the top of my heart.
He couldn't help but raise his eyes to look in the direction of the Xue family, and hooked the corners of his mouth: Hmm, saying that he is not qualified to help him if he doesn't get back the title, look, isn't it that he bumped into a big cake as soon as he went out!
I was in a much lighter mood for a while, thought for a while, and went straight back to my accommodation.
The servants of the Golden Water Gate were surprised today.
Master Xue of Guanghuali, who has never come to the door, is Xue Wenfu, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, who is the second master of their house, suddenly came to the door, and his face was very ugly.
didn't let anyone inform, and went straight to the residence of the fourth master.
Someone quietly went to Mrs. Cheng's place to communicate.
Sun was accompanying Mrs. Cheng to water the flowers, and she was pulling the letter from her sister-in-law a few days ago, but was interrupted by the maid who came in a hurry.
She was a little displeased, but the maid trembled her voice and bowed her head and said, "Old ...... Old lady, the eldest lord of Xifu is here. ā
Mrs. Cheng's hand trembled, and the flower pot in her hand fell straight down, and the water was scattered all over the ground.
Sun Shi also looked shocked, glanced at Mrs. Cheng, and said sharply to the maidservant: "Fang Cai's words, can you take it seriously?" Did the second brother really come to the house? ā
The maid did not hesitate, and nodded her head again and again like a chicken pecking rice.
Old Madam Cheng showed surprise on her face, and hurriedly said, "Then don't hurry up and invite him in!" ā
The maid resignedly said: "Back to the old lady, the second master went straight to the fourth master, and the slave and maid looked at it, and her face was not very good-looking." "I also followed the Sun family and called Xue Wenfu Second Master.
Old Madam Cheng and Sun glanced at each other, and their faces became serious.
