Xi Cui came out of the palace, Nangong Yufeng sensed that something was wrong, and quietly followed him, after listening to her conversation with Rui Niang, although Nangong Yufeng did not fully understand why Xi Cui had to insist on snatching back this mansion for Rui Niang, but he also probably knew that Xi Cui was going to deal with the Yang family. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

That night, he sent someone out to investigate the details of the Yang family. It's a pity that I can only find out the fact that the Yang family bought officials in the early years, and in these years, this Lord Yang has been corrupt and bent to loot people's wealth, and the person who sold the official to him back then was the son-in-law of the imperial prince, and now Han Bin, the provincial servant of Zhongshu. In these years, there have been partisan disputes between the DPRK and China, but the Zhongshu Province and the Yushitai, where the Taishi is located, have always been neutral and have no bias, and there is nothing abnormal about the news they have found here. Is it because the direction of investigation over the years has always started from the Lao family, and the people from these two institutions seem to have no direct contact with the Lao family, so they have not found a breakthrough? My father said that the more solid the bucket looked without a single flaw, the more serious the problem became, and it seemed that they had found a crack in the bucket......

Early in the morning of the second day, he found the third prince, as well as Zhang Fuzi and other old ministers who supported the three princes. After discussing for a while, several people decided to pass the news to Xi Cui and secretly help Xi Cui act according to her plan.

After Nangong Yufeng came out, he suddenly felt very uncomfortable in his heart, he always felt that these old foxes were clearly using Xi Cui to stand in front of them. Although it was quite refreshing to hear them praise Xi Cui, but when I looked back, I always had the illusion of being used.

The VIP building soon received those news, and Xi Cui told Qi Yu about this, and said his plan, asking Qi Yu to cooperate accurately when the time comes.

Qi Yu immediately entered the palace. He has followed the emperor since he was still the crown prince, and it goes without saying that he knows him well, and more importantly, he knows a lot more about the Lao family, who has always supported the emperor, than others. For example, the relationship between Han Bin and the Lao family, I am afraid that his father-in-law, who is the master, does not know that his son-in-law was cultivated by Uncle Lao Guo at all. After the new emperor ascended the throne, Uncle Lao Guo used the excuse of the old lady's old age several times and deliberately let Han Bin replace him. If it weren't for the fact that the emperor had always been suspicious of the Lao family, he repeatedly found reasons to delay, and during this period, he talked to Qi Yu about some fur, and Qi Yu found out some eyebrows. Otherwise, no one would dare to believe that Han Bin would have a relationship with Uncle Lao Guo, you must know that they have hardly met in all these years. Moreover, Han Bin has been operating in Zhongshu Province for many years, and maybe the entire Zhongshu Province is now under the control of the Lao family. The reason why the emperor kept Han Bin in that position and did not move him although he suspected Han Bin was because he saw that Han Bin was still good at doing things over the years, and he could be regarded as an honest official. However, in Qi Yu's opinion, I am afraid that after this incident, Han Bin will be passive......

At the appointed time, the people who were posted came to the VIP building one after another. In order to show their identity and status, the Yang family naturally arrived last, but they didn't expect that as soon as they arrived downstairs in the VIP building, they were stopped by a woman on the street as soon as they got off the sedan chair.

As soon as the woman saw Lord Yang, she was immediately excited, and stepped forward to grab his arm, "Yang Yuanwai, it's really you!" I heard that you have now returned to Beijing as a big official, and today you are in the VIP building to convene the old handover, I still don't believe it, but when I came to take a look, I didn't expect it to be true! Yang Yuanwai, oh, no, it's time to call you Lord Yang, why don't you know us when you come back today, no matter how you say it, we're old friends! Let me tell you, my son is also a general now, and he is still on an errand by the emperor's side......"

This Lord Yang actually didn't recognize who this person was for a long time, but when he heard her say that her son was on an errand by the emperor's side, he didn't dare to offend, and quickly changed his respectful face, "I thought that I Yang had been away from Beijing for many years, and I thought that things were wrong for a long time, but I didn't expect that there would be an old person like Mrs. who was so concerned about me, which really touched me." Come to Mrs., please go upstairs with me, I immediately asked the shopkeeper to prepare a secluded private room for Mrs. Lao, and wait for Mrs. Yang for the time being, and when Yang quickly finishes the matter at hand, he will immediately go to greet Mrs. After speaking, he said to the lady beside him, "Why don't you go and sit with the lady first?" ”

Without waiting for his wife to answer, the woman hurriedly said, "What do you mean, Lord Yang?" I've heard that you obviously called the current shopkeeper of the Yang family shop this time, just to get back to those industries. Lord Yang, don't forget, the reason why these things were able to get into your hands back then was also due to me, why are you ready to kick your original benefactor away now that you have returned to your hometown? ”

"What did you say?" Lord Yang only carefully stared at the woman in front of him at this time, and suddenly the lady beside him exclaimed, "You, you are the Cai family!" ”

Cai's proudly straightened his collar and raised his head high, "That's right, I'm Cai's!" Now that everyone knows each other, this matter is easy to do, and our Liu family wants half of those shops! ”

"Why?" Before the two adults of the Yang family could speak, the daughter of the Ma family, who they married, was in a hurry, and stepped forward to push the Cai family away, "I don't know where the old shrew came out of nowhere, she dares to go wild here!" Get lost! ”

Cai was pushed to the ground, and immediately became angry, and when he got up, he gave Yang a slap.

For a while, the lively crowd quickly gathered around and pointed at the few people in front of the sedan chair. The windows of the private rooms on the second floor are all open, and the outside is clearly visible.

Seeing that there were too many people, Lord Yang hurriedly called his subordinates to pull the two women apart and take them upstairs.

Entering the private room, Lord Yang sat on the top seat in full clothes, and Cai and his wife and daughter sat on both sides. The rest of the people sat in the lower hand seats, like fish on a cutting board, waiting to be slaughtered.

Lord Yang said a lot of things freely, which is nothing more than saying that he had to sell his wealth and go out to be an official, and now he has come back rarely, and he wants to take back his ancestral business to fulfill his filial piety, and I hope that everyone can fulfill it, and it will be convenient for everyone in the future. As for the price of the redemption of these shops, he did not say a word.

Cai will not make a fuss, sit quietly and wait for him to get things done. If he could get all the shops for nothing, she wouldn't be able to ask for it, and it just so happened that she didn't have any money now.

Lord Yang said that the people below were silent for a long time, and finally Yang was anxious, "What do you mean by this?" Are you afraid that we will take your shop for nothing? Is our Yang family that kind of family? I think you guys are a bunch of snobs! ”

As soon as the people below heard that there was still money to take, they began to whisper, and then Cai's heart began to panic. She didn't bring much money here, so if the Yang family really paid a lot of money to buy back these shops, she wanted to get a piece of the pie, but she couldn't get any bargains. But she wasn't stupid enough to show her hole cards out loud at this time.

"So, at what price is Lord Yang going to buy back the shop in our hands?"

Hearing this, Lord Yang was silent for a while, and took out a stack of things from his arms, the handwriting on them was already very old. Lord Yang handed these things down, and said while they were circulating, "This is the note that I sold these shops back then, and how much money was sold on them, I will buy them back now." ”

The people below looked at the numbers above, and all of them changed their faces. This Lord Yang is simply a clear robbery! Not to mention that these shops have changed hands several times over the years, and the price is different each time, just to say that many parts of the capital have been rising in price over the years, and the money on this is not even enough for a fraction of the time they bought these shops! This Lord Yang said that he was buying it back, and he was simply selling dog meat on the head of a sheep!

There was silence again below, and the Cai family naturally guessed that they were not satisfied with the price given by Lord Yang. Seeing that Lord Yang didn't speak for a long time, he was afraid that he would really follow the wishes of these people and raise the price, remembering the words that Liu Qian taught her when he came to her last night, he stood up directly, pointed at the people below and scolded, "You things that can't be put on the table, Lord Yang is willing to spend money to buy it, which is enough to give you face, what else do you want?" You must know that Lord Yang will soon be the patrol of the nine cities in the capital, and everything on the street will be in his hands at that time, you don't give Lord Yang face today, think about whether you want to mix in the capital in the future! ”

Although those people below are not compatible with the officials, they can be regarded as some heads and faces in the capital, where have they been so humiliated. A few hard-natured ones spoke, stood up and shot back at Cai's Dao, "What about the Nine Cities Patrol?" This is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, who is not a big official who walks by? If you want to say that we have not seen anyone? I have seen a lot of officials, and even the prince is not something we haven't seen! Let's just talk about the Liwang Mansion, the Zhao family, who was posted with us two days ago, sold the house to the Liwang Mansion! It is said that at that time, it was bought at double the market price, and no one in the palace had a bullying posture like you! We're really anxious, we have to go to the government, no matter what, we have to give us an explanation! ”

Then Lord Yang couldn't help but panic when he heard this, he just came to the capital, and his ass hasn't been hot yet, in case of a lawsuit at this time, let alone taking office, I'm afraid that this black veil on his head won't be able to be saved!

The Cai family was not flustered at all, but as if he expected them to say this, he replied with a straight look, "Are you comparing our Lord Yang with the Liwang Mansion?" No matter how powerful he is in Liwangfu, he is just a foreign surname king, and his surname is still Zhou in this world! How can you compare with our Lord Yang? Do you know who our Lord Yang's backer is? That is the current Zhongshu Provincial Servant Han Bin Han Lord, this Han Lord is quite close to today's Uncle Lao Guo! Uncle Lao, do you know who it is? That is the husband of Princess Yong'an, the princess of the dynasty, and his eldest son Lao Ke, the industrious son, also got married to Princess Chaoyang a few days ago! This is the real royal relative! What is the power of the Liwang Mansion you are talking about? Look at who the princess in their house is pointed out by the emperor, you should know, but the woman I know was just a slave in someone else's house! There are ......" Cai Shi was talking about spittle, and the excitement was over, and Lord Yang ran over and covered his mouth tightly.

Xi Cui, who was in the private room on the other side, finally couldn't help laughing when he heard this, this Cai family really lives up to expectations! Seeing that the situation should be about the same, Xi Cui turned around and asked Lingxiang to go to Ruyi Pavilion to tell Han Yan that this side was going well, and thank Han Yan for her help. If she hadn't controlled Liu Qian now, how could the Cai family be so obedient.

In fact, there are some facts in Cai's remarks that are well founded, such as Han Bin behind Lord Yang, but Han Bin's close relationship with the Lao family was made up by Xi Cui himself. She is now going to use every opportunity to pour dirty water on the Lao family, anyway, with today's suspicious character, she will check whether she has it, even if she can't find out, she will continue to be suspicious. She wants to see how long the Lao family can be arrogant if they lose the emperor's trust?

Where was the Cai family willing to be covered by Lord Yang like this, and he broke free in three or two clicks, and Lord Yang hurriedly covered it. For a while, there was a mess in the private room, and no one even noticed when the door was opened.

The emperor walked in in civilian clothes, followed by Qi Yu and several old ministers from the Imperial Historical Tower, obviously they all heard what they said just now. But where has an official of Lord Yang's level ever seen the emperor, when he saw someone breaking in, he immediately changed his face, pointed at them and shouted, "Who let you in?" Didn't you see Ben-sama talking about things inside? Get out! Without waiting for the emperor to speak, he turned his face to the people below and shouted, "The matter of the shop will be put aside for the time being, but none of you can say half a word about today's matter!" You'd better remember what the official said, if there is any rumor coming out, Lao Tzu will be the first to clean up all of you! ”

"Lord Yang is so powerful! I was a little frightened when I said this! The emperor scolded angrily, walked up to Lord Yang and Cai's in three or two steps, stretched out his hand and gave him a slap, "Bastard thing!" Is it really great to be a sesame official? I still think your backstage can be hard to pass! ”

Lord Yang was stunned by the oncoming slap, and when he heard the emperor call me out, he immediately fainted with fright. Cai's curled up to the side and didn't dare to make a sound, and the merchants below reacted and quickly knelt down and shouted long live. Yang's mother and daughter were so frightened that their souls were gone, where did they know how to kneel, and they stayed where they were like fools and didn't move.

Soon Liu Chen came here with the Praetorian Guards, and when he saw that his mother Cai was also inside, he was first shocked and then deeply disappointed. Qi Yu followed Xi Cui's instructions and said in Liu Chen's ear, "What the emperor cares about is the affairs of the Yang family, you will temporarily detain your mother first, and then ask for a favor when the emperor's strength eases up, and the matter will be over......"

Liu Chen was a little relieved after hearing this, and ignored Cai's shouts and called for someone to take her away.

It has been three or five days since this incident, and the emperor has never been seen to attack Han Bin, Uncle Lao Guo saw that the emperor's expression was as usual these days, thinking that the emperor had listened to his own persuasion and planned to suppress the matter, and his heart couldn't help relaxing. Who knew that on the second day after he thought that the matter had passed, the emperor ordered the people in the Inner Chamberlain to come up with a lot of Han Bin's so-called incriminating evidence, and immediately seized Han Bin's official position and put him in prison for retrial. And the person who took over this matter was Qi Yu.

This can be regarded as a major purge of Zhongshu Province, and Uncle Lao Guo was so anxious that he almost fainted. Of course, he knew that there were both true and false in those incriminating evidence, and the emperor's purpose in doing this was to get rid of Han Bin. It turns out that the emperor didn't listen to him at all, which means that their relationship is not as strong as before? No, no, he must find a way to mend this relationship! So although Uncle Lao Guo was heartbroken, he couldn't help but not plead for Han Bin in the court.

After going down, Uncle Lao pulled Qi Yu to find a place to sit down.

The only person he can find now is Qi Yu, and at present, Qi Yu seems to be the most trusted person by the emperor, and he doesn't even know what the emperor wants to do this time, so he can only find a way from Qi Yu.

Qi Yu seemed to know that Uncle Lao Guo would look for him, so he didn't shirk it, and followed him to find a secluded place to sit down.

Uncle Lao Guo was probably panicked, and he couldn't get to the point after talking for a long time. Qi Yu was an understanding person, and without waiting for Uncle Lao Guo to sort out his thoughts, he whispered, "Uncle Lao Guo wants to know what the purpose of the emperor's big action is?" ”

Uncle Lao nodded hurriedly, his eyes full of eagerness.

Qi Yu smiled, "Can't Uncle Lao even see this?" Haven't you heard about it outside? Outside, it has been rumored that Han Bin's backstage is not his father-in-law, but your Uncle Lao! After the emperor arrested the man surnamed Yang, did you receive the news and go to intercede with Han Bin first? ”

"The emperor even told you this?" Uncle Lao finally understood how trusted Qi Yu was by the emperor when he heard Qi Yu say this, and he held Qi Yu's hand tighter.

"Let's not talk about this for now, you think, the emperor has always respected you, but you can get entangled with a notorious corrupt official, how can you call the emperor not to be sad? However, the emperor still trusts you very much, but Han Bin can't keep it. You don't look at what he's been known to be like out there! Don't look at the emperor doing this to Han Bin today, but in fact, he still wants to protect you! There have always been rumors outside that you are Han Bin's backer, in order to block the mouths of those people, the emperor locked up Han Bin and did not kill him, and asked me to continue the trial, in order to let the world see the emperor's determination to investigate this matter thoroughly, on the other hand, as long as Han Bin does not speak, he will not be involved in this matter, and those rumors will naturally be broken. You don't know how worried I am about you pleading for Han Bin in the court today, but you didn't say anything, otherwise I wouldn't be able to help you in this matter! Qi Yu took out his hand and gently squeezed Uncle Lao's hand to show comfort.

When Uncle Lao Guo heard him say this, although he didn't believe it all, he felt a lot more relieved.

After the two separated, Qi Yu looked at his distant back, and then looked at the black shadow that flashed not far away, and smiled.

Xi Cui finally solved it like this, which surprised several old men and laughed out loud. This is simply a random planting without reason, and this method makes a few of them think about it, but they can't think of it.

Nangong Yufeng listened to them and didn't go to Xi Cui these days, firstly, he was afraid that Xi Cui would tell the truth, and secondly, he was afraid of affecting Xi Cui, and now that the matter was done, he could finally go to the twilight moon to return, but he didn't expect to pounce, Lingxiang told him that Xi Cui went to see Qi Yu.

Only then did he realize that the whole thing had been done, it seemed that Xi Cui had always been with Qi Yu these days, and sometimes he watched the two of them talking and laughing as if they had a tacit understanding, and suddenly his chest was like a ball of cotton, he couldn't cough it out and couldn't swallow it, and it was itchy and painful! (To be continued.) )
