On the way back between Ning Xi and Shu Heng, Ning Xi couldn't help asking, "Will King Xian be in trouble?" ”

Hearing Ning Xi ask like this, Shu Heng couldn't help but think of Li Yu once saying that the emperor planned to let Ning Xi into the royal family, and his heart suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and he seemed to smile and said, "Are you worried about him?" ”

Seeing this, Ning Xi knew that Shu Heng was thinking about it again, and couldn't help but glance at him: "Second sister is now connected with his fate, I naturally care, what are you thinking about." ”

Shu Heng rubbed his nose a little embarrassed and turned his gaze, Ning Xi reached out and poked Shu Heng's waist, Shu Heng frowned, Ning Xi saw this and poked his waist again, Shu Heng turned his head and gently wrapped Ning Xi's unruly little hand with his own hand: "Don't make trouble." ”

Ning Xi leaned closer to Shu Heng again: "Eh, what did you and the Xianwang God say mysteriously?" ”

Shu Heng was a little unsure of Ning Xi's thoughts, and asked, "Do you really want to know?" ”

Ning Xi simply put his head on Shu Heng's lap, looked up at Shu Heng, and said with a smile: "If you don't say it, I also know, after all, it is inseparable from the recent things that have happened in the court, but I don't know that you are actually doing things for King Xian in private." ”

Shu Heng pinched Ning Xi's nose: "It's not that it's not doing things for him, it's just that I and I have been friends for many years, compared to others, I hope that the person who will succeed is her, but the Shu family will always be loyal to the emperor." After a pause, he said, "You don't have to worry about the affairs of the court, I will deal with it." ”

Ning Xi was not interested in these things, so he nodded.

A month later, in a teahouse, two people dressed as ordinary people sat together and whispered.

"Do you remember the incident of the mountain bandits in Jiangbei a while ago?"

"Hey, that's it, why don't you remember, I don't know how many refugees poured into the capital at that time, or it was the Marquis of Zhongyi who sent troops to solve the matter, speaking of this Marquis of Zhongyi, he really deserves to be a hero, do you know that the lives of the saints today were saved by the former Marquis Zhongyi."

"Yo, there's still this matter, but you definitely don't know what I'm going to tell you about Zhongyi Marquis today."

"What's it, don't sell it, say it quickly."

"I heard that the Marquis of Zhongyi received a lot of people's fat and ointment in the homes of those corrupt officials in Jiangbei, do you know how the Marquis of Zhongyi dealt with it, I heard that most of it was distributed to the local people, and the people over there are grateful to the Marquis of Zhongyi, and some people even say." Saying that, the man looked around, lowered his voice and said, "This Zhongyi Marquis is more effective than the emperor." ”

Hearing this, the man at the next table put down the money and walked out, seeing that the person next door was gone, the two people who spoke at the right time hooked the corners of their mouths, and also got up and walked out, and finally turned into a hidden alley, where a masked man was still standing, and the two walked up to the masked man and said, "My lord, the matter has been done, you see the silver taels you promised to the little ones before." ”

"Take it, let's go." The man's voice was a little hoarse, and as he spoke, he handed each of them a bulging purse.

Just now, the two of them couldn't wait to open the purse and take a look, and then immediately put the purse into their arms and left with a lewd smile on their faces.

On the morning of the second day, as soon as the eunuch finished speaking, he had a book to play and no book to retreat, and Chen Yushi stood up: "The minister has something to play." ”

The emperor saw that it was a person from the Imperial Historical Tower, and he felt a little powerless, this group of people usually went around to inquire about the parents of officials in order to admonish, and even a little trivial matter had to be moved to the court to talk about it, and this time I didn't know what to say.

"What's the matter, Chen Yushi." The emperor's tone was quite perfunctory.

As if he didn't hear the emperor's impatience, Chen Yushi still said unhurriedly: "The ministers want to participate in the Zhongyi Marquis to deceive the superiors and subordinates, and embezzle the stolen goods without authorization." ”

The emperor frowned and said, "Chen Yushi, you are not confused, Marquis Zhongyi has been staying in Beijing recently, and he has not participated in any cases, so how can he say that he embezzled stolen goods." ”

"The ministers are what the Marquis of Zhongyi did when he was in Jiangbei."

Shu Heng frowned when he heard this, and sneered in his heart, it seems that he really did it over there, but they used the same method both times, and they couldn't help but trust Yushitai too much, thinking like this, he heard Chen Yushi say again: "As far as the minister knows, Marquis Zhongyi has confiscated a large amount of money from local corrupt officials in Jiangbei, and it stands to reason that these money should be sent to the treasury, but Marquis Zhongyi gave most of the silver money to the local people without asking for the emperor's consent, and the minister even heard that in Jiangbei, the majesty of Marquis Zhongyi can be compared to the majesty of the emperor, The minister had to suspect the intentions of the Marquis of Zhongyi. ”

After Chen Yushi finished speaking, the officials in the court quieted down, and secretly scolded Chen Yushi in his heart, what a mallet, even if you want to imply that Shu Heng is suspected of being a meritorious master, then you should say it alone when you see the emperor, or implicitly hint at the emperor, how can anyone put this kind of words in the court with a big grin.

The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at Chen Yushi for a while, before turning his head to look at Shu Heng: "You have something to say." ”

Shu Heng walked out and stood beside Chen Yushi, compared to Chen Yushi's fat and short figure, Shu Heng stood there like a tall pine tree, much more pleasing to the eye.

"Before the minister left Beijing, the emperor once said that in case of special circumstances, the minister can deal with it by himself, and the minister saw that the people of Jiangbei were not hungry, so he took it upon himself to divide some of the stolen goods and went out, and it was really helpless to inform His Majesty in advance, but when the property was distributed, the ministers were sent out in the name of the emperor, and I believe that King Zhou could also testify to this." Saying that, Shu Heng glanced at King Zhou, King Zhou smiled and nodded, and then Shu Heng said to Chen Yushi: "There is another point, Chen Yushi may not know, I immediately reported this matter to the emperor after returning to Beijing, and the emperor also agreed to this matter, I don't know if Chen Yushi still has any questions, just raise it, I can answer them for you one by one now." ”

Shu Heng's words were said more, Chen Yushi's face turned white, and in the end, his face was completely bloodless, he thought that he could sue Shu Heng and add a strong stroke to his achievements, but he didn't expect that he was too anxious to seek merit, and he said this without verifying the truth of the matter, not only did he not bring down Shu Heng, but he let himself lose face in the main hall, and for a while, Chen Yushi's face was very exciting.

"Haha." After Shu Heng finished speaking, the emperor couldn't help laughing, and said to Chen Yushi: "Chen Yushi still has any questions, just mention it, I will let the Marquis of Zhongyi explain it to you." ”

Chen Yushi's face was full of embarrassment, and he couldn't wait to find a crack to turn in: "It's nothing, it's the minister's negligence for a while, and he misunderstood the Marquis of Zhongyi, and the Marquis of Zhongyi should not worry about the petty officials." ”

Shu Heng glanced at Chen Yushi coldly, although he knew that he was being used, but he never liked this kind of person who had no brains and was so happy, and only after a while did two words come out: "Don't dare." Then he stepped back.

Chen Yushi also retreated to his original position, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat after returning to his position, this Zhongyi Hou was also terrifying at that glance just now, he thought that he would be frozen to death by Zhong Yihou's eyes, even if it was a great achievement in the future, he would not dare to participate in Zhongyi Hou, it would be good to have this terrifying experience once.

After retiring from the dynasty, the emperor left Shu Heng: "Don't you think it's strange that Chen Yushi suddenly joined you today?" ”

Shu Heng buried his head: "The position of Yushitai is to supervise whether officials accept bribes and other illegal acts, and it is not surprising that any official is involved by them, naturally, it is normal for ministers to be involved." ”

The emperor looked at Shu Heng with interest: "But where did he learn about your actions in Jiangbei?" I don't think that Chen Yushi has the ability to find out for himself. There is also the matter of the Shun'an Hou Mansion, the evidence of the Yushitai is too complete, I still know their abilities, and there is no one behind them to help, so they can't find out so much. ”

"Shu Heng, I ordered you to investigate this matter, I want to see who is behind the ghost, I don't care who you suspect in your heart, as long as there is suspicion, you can investigate, but I must see substantial evidence." The emperor's tone was full of unprecedented majesty and sternness.

Shu Heng's eyes sank, and sure enough, the emperor also saw the unusualness, and even had doubts in his heart, but without evidence, the king was still reluctant to move that person.

"The minister commands." Shu Heng replied.

The emperor nodded, waved his hand, and let Shu Heng retreat, and after Shu Heng walked out, the eunuchs beside the emperor couldn't help but ask: "The emperor trusts the Marquis of Zhongyi so much?" The last sentence of Shicai Chen Yushi is not unreasonable, compared to you who are far away in the high hall, for the people of Jiangbei, it is really closer to the Marquis of Zhongyi, who has been to Jiangbei. ”

The emperor coldly glanced at the eunuch beside him: "When did you talk so much." ”

The eunuch hurriedly knelt down: "The slave is also for the emperor's sake." ”

Only then did the emperor retract his gaze, Shu Heng, he still wanted to believe it, but the little eunuch's words were not unreasonable, or at this time, he could consider using Pingle.

On the other side, after King Zhou returned to the mansion, he poured himself a pot of tea hard, and only then did he barely calm down, Ouyang Ling saw this and sneered: "I persuaded you at the time, this method is not reliable, you want to go your own way." ”

When King Zhou heard this, he smashed the table hard: "It was the king's mistake, I didn't expect that Shu Heng's father before he went to Jiangbei actually gave him an edict that he could deal with Jiangbei on his own, and even told his father about it behind my back, otherwise he wouldn't want to get out of the matter with his private use of stolen money." ”

"Don't be angry, not this time, next time I'll change to another method." Ouyang Ling comforted.

King Zhou sneered: "But this time, at least I left a thorn in my father's heart, and my merit is high, which is a big taboo for every emperor." ”(.)
