Recently, the emperor was busy with court politics because of the fraud case, and rarely came to Chenzhi Palace, so Mu Qing also secretly enjoyed a few days of leisure. She sat alone in the house, and the morning sun was still scorching, and the slanted light through the window lattice made her suddenly crave such peace for a moment.

The little eunuch bowed his head and whispered, "Niangniang, the soup is hot, please take advantage of it!" ”

Mu Qing picked up the porcelain bowl from the table, scooped up a spoonful of hot soup elegantly and slowly, and gently blew away the hot air on the noodles.

Seeing that the spoon full of hot soup was already in her mouth, Mu Qing suddenly paused, her dark eyes flashed with a dark light as sharp as a knife, and in an instant, she suddenly raised her hand, and the hot soup was like a hidden weapon, and the water droplets shot straight at the 'little eunuch' kneeling in front of the desk.

The 'little eunuch' spun around and dodged Mu Qing's attack very skillfully. Then his voice changed, and he shouted dissatisfiedly: "I'm going to die!" So hot soup poured at me, that's your hospitality, huh? ”

Mu Qingqiang held back a smile, and joked in a weird way: "You are becoming more and more capable, even the eunuchs pretend to be similar, and this disguise technique is getting longer!" If it weren't for the fact that your hand handed the soup was smooth and white, and it didn't look like a eunuch who was used to rough work, I really wouldn't have recognized it. ”

"Who are you messing with!" The man sat beside Mu Qing and crossed Erlang's legs uninhibitedly, "Fortunately, Young Master Ben, I reacted quickly, if Young Master Ben's noble body has three long and two short, you can afford to pay for it!" ”

"Yes, I don't know that you Qiu Da Gang Master is here, and I am really ashamed to miss the welcome." Mu Qing smiled and handed the tea to the man.

"Go, go, go! What kind of helper doesn't help the master, shouting that I am like a bandit leader who robs houses and houses. The man said angrily, "Please call me Qiu Daguan!" ”

Mu Qing sneered, "Okay, good, Qiu Daguan is really close to Zhu Zhechi, who has dealt with literati and scholars a lot, and has begun to exude a sour and rotten atmosphere." ”

"No conscience! Who am I staying in the piano hall all day? If it weren't for deliberately approaching that Zhang Xiucai and revealing the inside story of the fraud case to him, would I need to chew on words with those so-called scholars? You don't know how awkward those people are, Wen Zou Zou is sour, and it makes me uncomfortable to hear. The man grumbled.

"I don't want to let you feel the breath of poetry, books and literature more, and also set off your erudite and elegant temperament!"

"Excuse me! In the future, it would be better to let me do less errands like this. The man flatly refused, and then showed a greasy evil smile, "Next time, do you need me to follow a few lustful old men in the court?" I've heard that they hang out in the fireworks all day...."

Mu Qing immediately interrupted: "I think you want to go yourself!"

"But then again, I just walked around outside, and the harem is really beautiful like a cloud, that figure, that posture, tsk... Liang Yinhao's kid is really going to be happy! Qiu Feng said with a fine light in his eyes, obviously dreaming of his Spring and Autumn Festival, "Another day, I will be disguised as a palace maid, and I will be mixed into which concubine's house..."

Mu Qing shook his head and sighed, "Qiu Feng, you are a dignified leader of the Lingshan Gang, why are you always so indecent when you speak?" The deceased old gang mainly knew that you were so out of tune, and they didn't know how to get angry! ”

"So what? Can the old guy still crawl out of the coffin and pull me? ”

As we all know, the Lingshan Gang is good at Gu poison and does not play cards according to common sense, both good and evil, so it has always been criticized by the people of the rivers and lakes for being treacherous and ruthless, and acting perversely, since the new gang leader named Qiu Feng took over, the situation has become even worse. There used to be some so-called decent people who wanted to jointly annihilate the Lingshan Gang, but the Lingshan Gang's whereabouts were erratic, and there was no fixed residence, and the true identity of the brothers in the gang was even more confusing. But who would have thought that such a terrifying and mysterious organization, the gang leader would actually be such a dissolute and uninhibited appearance.

Mu Qingse asked, "Okay, seriously, did you bring what I wanted?"

"Na!" Qiu Feng took out a porcelain vase from his arms and put it heavily on the table, "Have you thought about it?" ”

"You said that this medicine is safe and not dangerous. Are you sure it's foolproof? ”

"Don't worry, Lingshan Gang's ability to make drugs is the second, who dares to be the first in the rivers and lakes?" Qiu Feng said proudly, and after a slight pause, a rare worry appeared on his face, "I'm worried about you!" You must know that once you start this qiē, there is no going back. ”

"This qiē has already begun." Mu Qing looked back at Qiu Feng calmly, but there was a determination in his calm tone that could not be ignored. "I never wanted to go back."

Qiu Feng stared at Mu Qing for a long time, and finally rolled his eyes and said, "Yes, I can't persuade you to use this piece of wood, it's a waste of my tongue." ”

Mu Qing hooked the corners of his mouth self-deprecatingly, "I will find a suitable time to make a move, it is best to temporarily lure Huo Pei'an away from the capital, so as not to obstruct him." ”

"Are you tired after thinking so much?" Qiu Feng snorted disdainfully, "Now that you have messed up the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment, I don't think Huo Pei'an has the energy to get involved in the harem anymore." ”

Mu Qing asked again, "What about Zhang Xiucai?" ”

"Don't worry, I have arranged for Brother Bangzhong to escort him out of the capital, and I have changed his identity again, and the people in the court will not be able to find him." Qiu Feng got up and said, "How come you have the spare time to care about everyone, but not about yourself?" ”

Mu Qing looked at him puzzled, "What's wrong with me?" ”

"Have you cleaned up all the eyeliner around you?"

"Seven-seven-eight-eight. And I will turn these eyeliners into my people, and when the queen wants to get news from me, it can only be the news I want her to know. Mu Qing elegantly wiped his mouth with a silk handkerchief, and his deep pupils were as deep as a black hole.

"Okay, okay, I get goosebumps when I hear it." Qiu Feng shuddered for a moment, then got up and walked out, "Let's go!" I thought this palace was so fun, but I didn't expect it to be so easy to get in, what the hell are those Praetorian guards doing! ”

As soon as the words fell, in the blink of an eye, Qiu Feng disappeared.

Mu Qing looked at the porcelain vase on the table and was stunned, her expressionless face made it impossible to guess what she was thinking about-

As soon as Shangshu of the Criminal Department stepped into the Prime Minister's Mansion, he saw that Huo Pei'an had already packed his bags and looked like he was ready to go out. As soon as Tong Yuan heard the news that the prime minister had left Beijing this morning, he immediately rushed over. He gasped and asked, "My lord, will it be inappropriate for you to leave the capital at this time?" ”

Huo Pei'an soothed: "Don't worry, I've only been away for five days, and I have already taken leave from the emperor this morning, and I will be back in five days!" ”

Tong Yuan walked beside Huo Pei'an and said cautiously: "However, now that the Ministry of Rites of the Criminal Department is being investigated, without your backbone, the lower officials' hearts are bottomless!" ”

"Anyway, haven't I already taught you?" Huo Pei'an said, "Besides, I left this time for the sake of the Ministry of Rites. ”

"Did you find that Zhang Xiucai?" Tong Yuan was overjoyed.

Huo Pei'an shook his head, "It's strange to say, since Zhang Xiucai came out of the palace, the world suddenly evaporated, and the people I sent didn't find any traces." ”

"That's what the Lord said?"

Huo Pei'an sighed deeply, and his blackened pupils revealed the scheming city. "Now that Jiang Yihong has been dismissed and investigated, the seat of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites is vacant, so naturally someone has to fill it."

"The lower officials heard that the emperor intends to promote Chai Wu, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites."

Huo Pei'an's face turned a little colder, "It is precisely because of this that I am in a hurry to leave Beijing!"

Tong Yuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Don't you like that chai wu?" Although this man is honest and inflexible, he has never explicitly opposed us. ”

"You only know one thing, but you don't know the other!" Huo Pei'an said, with a fierce gloom between his eyebrows, "At first, I thought so. I didn't want to report the eyeliner of the first few ****, but I saw Chai Wu and Wei Ming meeting for tea and listening to books, and the two looked like they had been friends for many years. Later, I also checked that Chai Wu and Wei Ming were the top three in the palace examination at the same time, but I am afraid that they have a lot to do with each other! If we let that Chai Wu sit in the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, wouldn't it be a surrender of the Ministry of Rites to our enemies? ”

"And such a thing? Adults are really cautious! Tong Yuan's face quickly crossed a look of horror, and he said worriedly: "Then what should we do now?" There is no one in the court who is more suitable for the position of Shangshu than Chai Wu? ”

"Since there is no one in the court, then we will find it from outside the court!"

"Looking for it outside the court? Are you looking for people from the mountains? Tong Yuan really didn't know what the other party said, thinking that this Prime Minister Huo Cheng shouldn't be in a hurry, right?

"Right now, there is only one person who can stop Chai Wu from sitting on the seat of the Ministry of Rites." Huo Pei'an's face was calm, and the light in his eyes was like fireflies, "That's Zhou Wenxin!" ”

"Zhou Wenxin?" Tong Yuanyuan opened his eyes and asked, "Zhou Wenxin, the former secretary of the Ministry of Rites?" At that time, he did have many political achievements, and he was upright, so he won the trust of the first emperor. It was only shortly after the emperor ascended the throne that he suddenly fell seriously ill and resigned to return to his hometown. How could an adult think of this person? ”

"I got the news that he had come back a year ago, and his health was back as usual, but he had been living in seclusion in a small mountain village outside Beijing as a commoner, and he played with silk strings all day long, regardless of the government." Huo Pei'an continued to walk slowly, and at this moment the carriage had been waiting outside the mansion for a long time.

Tong Yuan suddenly realized, and his tangled brows finally relaxed. "So my lord left Beijing this time to persuade Zhou Wenxin to go out of the mountain?"

"Not bad. Although Zhou Wenxin is not my person now, at least he is not Wei Ming's person, and as long as I am here, he will never become Wei Ming's person in the future! The sneer on Huo Pei'an's face gradually deepened, his eyes were cold, and thousands of coldness shot in and out, and those two eyes were as sharp as two sharp blades.
