Chapter 46: How to find fault without mistakes

Wu Qian is Wu Qian after all, since he can be called an old slippery head by those taller and bigger figures, how can he be an idle person. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

He quickly calmed himself down, no matter how serious the situation is, he can't be chaotic, because once the proportion is messed up, there may be mistakes in handling, and the consequences of this can be imagined.

But before the countermeasures could be figured out, a very unexpected figure came to the Gyeonggi governor.

This person is, Qi He, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

What is he doing here? Wu Qian said in shock.

Of course, there is a reason why Wu Qian would think so, because those first-class officials like Qi He and others, they can directly enter the palace to face the holy recital for anything, in their eyes, the status of the governor of Gyeonggi in the imperial court is basically negligible, since they have never been put in their eyes, how can they deign to come here in person for no reason? Therefore he must have come for a reason.

But where did he have this time to think, he could only welcome him out at the first time, and the purpose of Qi Hehui's sudden arrival here would naturally be clear.

When Wu Qian walked out, Qi He had already entered the gate of the mansion and was coming head-on.

Wu Qian hurriedly hugged his fists and said with a smile, "Ah! Lord Qi Shangshuqi, what kind of east wind is this, which actually blows you all here? ”

Qi He walked forward and laughed, "Old Wu slippery, why, you don't seem to welcome me here!" ”

Qi He is slightly younger than Wu Qian, although it is difficult to resist the erosion of the years, and there are many fine wrinkles on his face, but his qi is still the same, and his body is still quite vigorous, and it can be imagined from the contours of his face that when Qi He was young, he must have been a heroic and extraordinary person, so it is reasonable to have a daughter like Concubine Chen. What's more, if there is no strong backing support, how can Concubine Chen Guifei compete with Queen Gao in the harem without scruples, and still have a transcendent status second only to Queen Gao when she is no longer favored.

Or it can also be said that Concubine Chen's powerful position in the harem offended other concubines naturally countless, and most of the concubines in the harem were born in official eunuch families, and many of them were members of the court above the third grade, so how could the courtiers who wanted to suppress Qi He and bring down Concubine Chen be in the minority, and even sometimes Emperor Chen would be dissatisfied with Concubine Chen's over-ostentation and even domineering, and it was inevitable that he would be bored with Qi He, but to this day, Concubine Chen's status is still transcendent, and Qi He is still stable, to some extent, Qi He is a person who makes no mistakes, even Emperor Chen is no exception.

Unlike Wu Qian, who has been trained by decades of experience in the ups and downs of officialdom, he is sleek and sophisticated, and can bend and stretch, no one will think that Qi He is sleek, let alone a person who can bend and stretch, and even Chen Huang can't make him change when he is firm, there is only one reason why he stands tall, that is, there is no mistake to be found.

But there's nothing wrong with being able to make so many people who stare at you and want to bring yourself down a lot of hard work, which in itself is a great wisdom.

Many people understand this, and Wu Qian is certainly no exception.

"What is Lord Qi talking about, Lord Qi can be willing to come here, it is already making this Gyeonggi Mansion Yapeng shine, I am afraid that I will not be able to invite you, Lord Qi, how can we not welcome it?" Wu Qian replied with a smile, "Lord Qi, please come inside!" ”

Qi He smiled lightly and said nothing, and slowly entered the rest hall in the back courtyard of the yamen with Wu Qian.

"Because there have never been any guests in the Yanei, and I am not a person who understands tea, so there is no good tea here to take out to entertain Lord Qi, the tea is rough, and I hope Lord Qi will not dislike it!"

Qi He smiled and shook his head, "Lord Wu's words are serious!" Although I don't know much about tea, I also know that this tea is the Xiling sweet tea exclusively sold by Jiyue Pavilion, and it takes a few hundred taels of silver to buy a catty. ”

"Where is it, Lord Qi can taste this Jiyue Pavilion Xiling sweet tea at once and even know its price, I think my understanding of tea is not shallow, how can I not understand it!"

Qi He smiled lightly, "I'm really not afraid of Lord Wu's jokes, I did go to Jiyue Pavilion to buy tea some time ago, and the errand workers in Jiyue Pavilion saw my appearance, thinking that a big customer had come, so they hurriedly and enthusiastically came to give me all kinds of introductions, what about me!" It really put on the appearance of a big customer, and asked him to give me all their high-quality tea, each of which gave me a little taste, which made the poor worker very happy, and hurriedly brewed a small cup for me one by one, so I tasted it for an afternoon, and tasted more than 100 kinds of precious tea in the Jiyue Pavilion, and the final result was that I wanted a pound of fine mountain tea, holding a stomach of tea, and left! This is still when I was really embarrassed to say that I wanted Iron Buddha tea, and I was even more embarrassed to buy it without asking for anything. ”

Wu Qian was embarrassed for a while, so he had to smile and change the topic, "Lord Qi is in a high position and has a busy schedule, so if he can spend precious time here, he must not just come here to chat, but I don't know why Lord Qi came here today?" ”

This is what Wu Qian is most concerned about, and it should also be the key reason for Qi Helai.

But Qi He didn't seem to be in a hurry to answer this question, he just shook the teacup in his hand leisurely, blew the floating tea leaves to the side, and then brought it to his mouth, took a shallow sip, and then put it down, before he looked up at Wu Qian, and asked with a smile, "If I wasn't dazzled, when I just entered the yamen, I seemed to see two guards hurriedly escorting away a young woman in red, right, Lord Wu?" ”

Wu Qian's hand holding the teacup stiffened slightly, and then said with a smile, "Lord Qi's eyesight is really good!" It's not a big deal, I think you also know that Lord Xu Changzhen Xu was assassinated in the house half a month ago, but the assassin was not caught afterwards, and I have been having a headache for this matter, until today, it is estimated that it is really a desperate reason, and the woman who assassinated Lord Xu finally appeared and turned herself in. ”

"She was the concubine of Lord Xu before, right? What's it called, Muyi? ”

Wu Qian smiled and nodded, "Lord Qi is really well-informed!" ”

Qi He shook his head with a light smile, "What a well-informed person, not well-informed!" ”

"Why did Lord Qi say this?" Wu Qian asked with a smile.

"Didn't you just say that? That Mu Yiyi turned himself in, but guess what I heard from the people below me in the morning? They said, "That Mu Yiyi is here to beat the drum and cry out!" And also said that Mu Yiyi seems to be the daughter of Mu Xianzheng, the left attendant of the former military department, originally called Mu What, it seems to be called Mu Anyuan, and also said, what else did he say, saying that Mu Xianzheng's death was actually related to the Yuyongguan Mutiny that year, and even ......." Speaking of this, Qi He suddenly stopped, sighed long, and continued, "Alas, it's ridiculous anyway!" As a result, I came to you, only to know that the original person turned himself in, you look at you, this news has spread, what else can it be called? I can't believe the news they reported in the future! Lord Wu, do you think this is ......?"

"Smack!" The teacup in Wu Qian's hand fell to the ground.

The cup shattered, and the hot tea splashed all over the floor.

The little official next to him was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My lord! ”

Qi He also hurriedly got up and said worriedly, "Lord Wu, what's wrong with you?" ”

Wu Qian came to his senses in an instant, and hurriedly got up and said to Qi He, "I'm fine, but I'm shocked by you, Lord Qi!" Sitting, adults! This is an old problem, when I am old, my hands are slowly not obeying! Look, sometimes even the cup can't hold steadily, and it's even more difficult to lift the pen! I guess after this year, it's time for me to return home! ”

Qi He nodded, turned around and sat down, and then said, "It stands to reason that Lord Wu has dedicated so many years to the imperial court, and the governor of Gyeonggi has managed the entire imperial capital in an orderly manner under you. However, people like you and me, who have been up and down in officialdom, really want to be able to get out of the way in the end and go back to enjoy the joy of family life, I'm afraid it's not so easy! ”

Wu Qian smiled stiffly and agreed, "That's what Lord Qi said!" ”

Qi He shook his head, looked at Wu Qian, and said with a light smile, "Lord Wu, aren't you going to tell me the truth?" ”

Nishiki House.

Su Jin was lying on the rocking chair in the green bamboo garden in the backyard, covered with a thin blanket in front of her, the setting sun dyed her silver mask into a dazzling golden yellow, and the whole person seemed to be plated with a faint layer of gold, her eyes were slightly closed, as if she was asleep, and it seemed that she didn't, and the two maids next to her just guarded quietly, and didn't dare to disturb, and didn't even dare to breathe too hard, for fear that the person on the rocking chair would be woken up by accident.

Then, Bi Xi walked over from the corridor in the distance, "Go down!" ”

The two maids owed a debt and slowly retreated.

Su Jin opened his eyes.

"How's it going?"

"The case has been filed! An order from Emperor Chen himself. Soon after the text was sent to the palace, the governor of Gyeonggi immediately received an order from Emperor Chen to immediately block the Xu Mansion. Xu Changzhen was temporarily deprived of all his powers, confined to the Xu Mansion, and waited for the truth of the case to come out! The case has now skipped the Gyeonggi Governor and been directly transferred to Dali Temple and the Criminal Department! ”

Su Jin lifted the blanket in front of him, and Bi Xi stepped forward to help Su Jin up from the rocking chair.

Su Jin slowly walked towards the small stone path of the green bamboo forest, and said with a light smile, "Qi He! It's not a simple character after all! ”

Bi Xi followed Su Jin with a thin blanket, and said with some doubts, "Why is the girl sure that Qi He will go to see Wu Qian, and she will definitely intervene in this matter?" ”

Su Jin smiled lightly, "Do you know which two officials I admire the most in this court today?" ”

Bi Xi thought for a moment and replied, "If my guess is right, it should be Qi He He!" ”

Su Jin smiled and shook his head, "There is indeed Qi He, but the other one is not Zhang Yong, but Qu Wenxin!" ”

"I'd like to hear the girl's reasoning."

"Qi He is a person who can only be described in one sentence, that is, there is no mistake to be found! Even if he seems to be meddling in Xu Changzhen's case for no reason today, don't forget, he is the secretary of the Criminal Department, and these cases were originally within his position, and he did not give any orders privately, but submitted the text to the palace to meet Emperor Chen as soon as possible, and he did a very good job in this! Not to mention finding something wrong! As for Qu Wenxin, I don't like this person, but that doesn't affect my appreciation of his ability! In the eyes of ordinary people, the most sleek person in the court deserves to be Yin Wuqian, the governor of Gyeonggi, and even gave him the title of Wu Lao slippery head, but in fact, Wu Qian is really a little wronged on this, if he really wants to be more sleek, how many people in this world can compare to him Qu Wenxin? ”

Bi Xi thought about it, and always felt that this answer was a little strange, so she suddenly reacted to something, and said with some resentment, "Girl, you have deviated from the question I just asked!" ”

Su Jin glanced at her sideways, and then said lightly, "Think for yourself!" ”

Bi Xi said very seriously, "Girl, I'm not Jing Yu, let alone Biyue!" ”

Su Jin smiled faintly, "I know you're not Jing Yu, let alone Biyue, that's why you let yourself think for yourself!" ”
