Chapter 18: Ambitions Disappointed

Yun Mian asked for peace in Cheng Tianyun's room, and the father and daughter said some intimate words, and Cheng Yunchong came in. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Big brother." Yun Mian grinned, which was a greeting.

Cheng Yunchong smiled at Yun Mian, and wanted to get down to business, but he was in the way of Yun Mian, so he coaxed: "Find your sister-in-law." ”

Yun Mian refused to obey, didn't move, just smiled and shook his head.

"That's it, that's it." Cheng Tianyun doesn't plan to avoid Yunmian anymore, she is getting older, and she is in the palace, so she knows some tricks and tricks, so she knows how to protect herself, as long as she is greeted and not publicized everywhere.

Cheng Yunchong said: "Father, I have time to inquire about the second child today, Lord Yao Tong praised the second child vigorously, saying that he is diligent and active, and Lord Yao seems to be very satisfied." ”

"Did you find anything else?" Cheng Tianyun was inevitably anxious when he heard this, if the second child was too violent, he was afraid that he would lift a stone and hit himself in the foot.

Cheng Yunchong shook his head and said, "My son asked again, but Lord Yao Tong refused to reveal a word, only saying that although his father was sick, he still did what you wanted." ”

"That's good." Cheng Tianyun breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still faintly worried that Yun Ge would be yin and yang, and he didn't take his father's words seriously.

Cheng Yunchong saw that Cheng Tianyun didn't have any instructions, so he also put his mind at ease, turned his head and instructed Yun Mian: "Don't tell the fourth person about today's matter." ”

"I know," Yun Mian was slightly displeased, complaining that Cheng Yun rushed over, "Big brother, I'm not your brother or your subordinate, can you not keep a straight face." ”

Cheng Yunchong saw Yun Mian's pitiful appearance, and also felt that he was too strict just now, so he embarrassedly 'gnawed' and cleared his throat, "Naughty." ”

Cheng Tianyun's illness gradually improved with the end of Yao Tong's case investigation, and he was able to go to the ground, but fortunately, during this period of time, Cheng Yunge didn't poke out any baskets, but he didn't understand Cheng Yunge's complacent attitude for days.

Cheng's Mansion is deserted, but Yao's Mansion is like a city, and there is no shortage of people vying to visit Bajie, but Yao Tong refused to see them one by one.

said that this Yao Tong is really able to behave in the world, and openly declined the Ming family and the Gu family's request to see him many times, but secretly went to the house to ask for a meeting.

Ming Tiezong didn't want Yao Tong to visit late at night, because he was rejected for the last few times, he was angry in his heart, and he also wanted Yao Tong to eat back to the closed door, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

"Lord Yao, what do you mean by this?" Ming Tiezong sat on the Taishi chair with a black face, and did not let people serve tea, nor did he let Yao Tong sit down.

Fortunately, Yao Tong was thick-skinned enough, so he sat down shyly, and said in every possible way: "Oh, why do you have to be like this, the adults are angry with the lower officials, they really wronged the lower officials!" ”

Ming Tiezong didn't know what he meant, and asked, "Why do you say this?" ”

"My lord, those days were when the lower officials were collecting evidence for investigation, and you sent someone at that time, did you say that the lower officials dared to see you?" Yao Tong looked aggrieved, who knows his hard work?

Ming Tiezong is also a smart person, and when he heard him say this, he understood, the color on his face softened a little, and said, "That's because I blamed Lord Yao." ”

"It's not, but then again, the lower officials are dedicated to Lord Ming, but ......?" Yao Tong showed his thoughts, and then he said that there was something unspeakable.

Ming Tiezong saw that Yao Tong's words were vague, and urged: "If you have something to say, it doesn't hurt to say it, now you are a knife and I am a fish, what else dare not speak." ”

Yao Tong waved his hand modestly, lowered his voice and said: "My lord doesn't know, when Lord Cheng was in charge of this case before, he instructed the lower officials to carefully collect evidence, but unfortunately later Lord Cheng fell ill, and the lower officials asked for the second child of the Cheng family in order to find out the intentions of Lord Cheng, and the second child of the Cheng family was really capable and collected a lot of criminal evidence." As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper in his arms and let Ming Tiezong see it.

Ming Tiezong looked at so many ironclad evidence, his face turned blue, he originally thought that Yao Tong was here to show goodwill, but looking at the situation at the moment, he actually came to blackmail, "Hmph, Lord Yao can handle it impartially and submit these evidences." "So ignorant of current affairs, I want to see if he has the ability to deal with it.

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding," Yao Tong hurriedly laughed, in order to show his sincerity, he burned the piece of evidence, "This is the intention of the lower officials, but these things of Lord Ming, if you think about it, the emperor should know it, and Lord Ming has to have the determination of a strong man to break his wrist." ”

Ming Tiezong never expected Yao Tong to be so knowledgeable, "Lord Yao thinks so much about the old man, then you have to withstand the pressure of the Cheng family, don't worry, the old man will be grateful for your heart." He waved his hand to the butler, bowed his head and whispered, and the butler went.

"The lower official is not to make Lord Ming grateful, but the lower official came to remind Lord Ming and beware of someone making a hindrance." Yao Tong made his words clear, and then stood up to leave.

The housekeeper came in time, and Ming Tiezong stuffed the heavy thank you gift to Yao Tong, and asked Yao Tong to deal with Gu Changyan ruthlessly.

Yao Tong used this method and went to Gu Changyan's mansion, and he got very generous benefits.

Ming Tiezong is suspicious of Yao Tong's words, he undoubtedly wants to provoke the relationship between the Ming and Cheng families, if Cheng Tianyun really has the intention to put him to death, how can he stay out of the matter, Cheng Tianyun is not stupid, the Ming family is in charge of the ministry, and his son's father-in-law is in charge of the military department, I am afraid that the second child of the Cheng family is also instigated by Yao Tong, this Yao Tong is two-faced and three-knifed, how can he not know the reason, take advantage of both ends, I am afraid that he should also find a way to take measures against his sharp spirit.

The case of Ming Tiezong and Gu Changyan was completed in a few days, and there was some evidence of the crime, but after investigation, it was all done arbitrarily by the people under them, and in the end, a few scapegoats were pushed on both sides, and the matter was over.

This case was handled very well, several arms were lost on both sides, and with Yao Tong's instigation, the Gu family also had a grudge against the Cheng family, and now it is a situation of confrontation between the three of them, Bai Yi is quite satisfied with this matter, the ministers do not agree, so they have to rely on him, the emperor, and he, the emperor, should be more stable.

Cheng Tianyun's body recovered, Yun Mian was in a good mood, went to Cheng Tianyun's room to say goodbye, and saw Cheng Yunge coming out of the room with a sad face and a drunken face, "Second brother? ”

"Come and say goodbye." Cheng Yunge could barely squeeze out a smile, nodded like a puppet, and dragged his body to leave.

Seeing Cheng Yunge's dejected head, Yun Mian cautiously asked, "What's wrong with the second brother?" Yunmian was a little afraid of Cheng Yunge, because he always didn't smile, and when he didn't speak softly, he pretended to be a big thing in his heart, and he didn't take a little girl like Yunmian to heart at all, but compared to other sisters, Cheng Yunge treated her well.

"Let's go inside." Cheng Yunge didn't answer Yun Mian's words, and left dejectedly, he really couldn't figure it out, Yao Tong had the same heart as him, why he still dealt with this matter like a father in the end, wasting his enthusiasm, all his hard work was in vain, he thought he would have a good future, who knew that it was so, he was embarrassed to complain at home, let him bear this grievance himself.

Yun Mian sighed inexplicably and went in.
