Recently, because of the deficit turmoil in the DPRK, Tong Yuan has been running to the Prime Minister's Mansion in the past few days, although this matter has nothing to do with his criminal department, but he also has some silver borrowed from the treasury in his hand, although the amount is not much, but how to say that it has stepped on the boundary, plus now the emperor's attitude towards this matter seems to be quite tough, he can't help but be a little worried. Today he went to the Prime Minister's Mansion again, and he didn't return to the Mansion until Haoyue was the head. Seeing that Tong Yuan had finally returned, the housekeeper finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a bitter face: "Your Excellency, you are back!" Today, Mrs. was invited by the ladies in the palace to listen to the play, and when she came back, she didn't know what was wrong, and she lost her temper for a while. ”

"In the palace?" Tong Yuan was stunned and hurriedly walked to the inner room. As soon as I stepped into the door of the bedroom, I saw that the floor was full of broken porcelain tiles and flower pots, and the whole room seemed to have just been swept by a strong wind, and it was a mess. The green tendons on Tong Yuan's forehead jumped suddenly, and he had a premonition that nothing good would happen next. He walked slowly to the back room, and saw his wife sitting on the bed, glaring at him angrily. Tong Yuan sighed heavily and said, "What's the matter?" With such a big commotion, are you going to smash the whole house to the ground? ”

"What's wrong? Are you too embarrassed to ask?! Mrs. Tong stepped forward, grabbed Tong Yuan's cuffs, and kept shaking and pulling. Where did you go when you came back so late? Which vixen hooked it again? ”

Tong Yuan impatiently pulled away Mrs. Tong's hand and scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? Where did you hear all the rumors? ”

Hearing Tong Yuan's denial, Mrs. Tong became more and more hysterical. "Nonsense?!Everyone knows, you're still playing stupid for me here? Do you really think you're a genius in the world? You don't want to think about it, if it weren't for my father, you would have been able to have such a smooth career?"

Mrs. Tong is not wrong, after Tong Yuan was admitted to the Jinshi, he has been doing a small idle job in Beijing, and then inadvertently met the daughter of the former criminal department Shangshu, that is, the current Mrs. Tong, with the help of the old father-in-law, this began to rise all the way, and sat on the current position of the criminal department. But there are always gains and losses in life, although Tong Yuan relied on the power of his wife's mother's family to ascend to the top, but the young lady he married was not a good master, not only had a hot temper, but also did not allow Tong Yuan to have the slightest bit of trouble outside. Originally, it was not uncommon for a man to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention a second-class member of the court like him, but Mrs. Tong once said that if Tong Yuan dared to marry the second room, he would definitely have nothing and fall from the clouds into the mud. Tong Yuan was already timid, so for many years, he was also able to keep to himself, and he didn't dare to deviate at all, until he recently met the Youruo girl in the Yanyu Building, and he had a change.

Tong Yuan sighed tiredly, and there was really nothing he could do about his wife, so he said in a dumb voice: "I've been tired all day in the Criminal Department, and now I don't have time to go crazy with you!" ”

"Am I crazy? You were poked in the backbone by me, and your heart is weak, right? Mrs. Tong shouted unrelentingly, grabbed the teacup in front of her casually, and smashed it towards Tong Yuan. What kind of criminal department is busy, it's all fart! I see that you stay at the vixen in the Yanyu Building, and you can't miss it! ”

Hearing the words 'Yanyu Building', Tong Yuan couldn't help but be shocked. He went to Yanyu Tower and asked, "What did you say?" Who chewed the root of your tongue with you? ”

"Hmph, even the ladies who are locked in the palace know about it, but I'm still in the dark! What else do you say about today's busy affairs and turbulent situation, it is clear that every day is called what is it... If you are there, sing every night! Mrs. Tong was so angry that her face turned red, and she wailed as she spoke, and sat back on the bed and cried. Oh my! How could I have fallen in love with such a conscienceless thing back then?! When Mrs. Tong looked up, Tong Yuan had already run out of the house and disappeared.

In the noisy smoke and rain building, most of the benefactors were already slightly drunk, and the sound of silk bamboo and laughter was endless.

Tong Yuan hurried over, without saying a word, he pulled Liu's mother straight and asked, "What about Youruo?" ”

Mother Liu is the old bustard of this Yanyu Building, although she is a half-old, she still has charm, plus a three-inch tongue that is not rotten, she can always coax the guests to laugh, and willingly take out a lot of white flowers. When Mother Liu saw that it was a child who she hadn't seen for a long time, she immediately grinned and greeted, "Yo! It's you, a child! It's been a few days since I came, and I thought you forgot about me! ”

Tong Yuan didn't have the heart to be polite to her at the moment, and asked again: "Don't talk nonsense, let me ask you what about Youruo?"

Mother Liu smiled embarrassedly, "Youruo? Ouch, it's a bad luck for you to come today, and she went out. ”

"Not there?!" Tong Yuan's face was gloomy, and he said angrily, "Did you force her to go out to pick up guests again?" Didn't I say that she had already been taken over by me and was not allowed to meet outsiders again? You really take the words of this official as a deaf ear! ”

Liu's mother only felt aggrieved, and spit bitter water vigorously. "Oh, the conscience of heaven and earth! How dare I touch you, old slave? Naturally, he served properly, and he didn't dare to go against the slightest intention of the girl. But this time it's different! ”

Tong Yuanhu asked suspiciously, "Why is it different from the past?"

Mother Liu pulled Tong Yuan out of the crowd and said mysteriously: "It's the people in the palace who are back this time." He said by name that he wanted the girl to enter the palace to play and sing. Your Excellency, you know, I am here to do business, how dare I offend the guests? What's more, it's a guest from the palace again! So as a last resort, I had to send people over. ”

After many years of crawling in the land of fireworks, Liu's mother has not only practiced a clever mouth, but also has a pair of sharp eyes that have insight into people's hearts. At this moment, she saw that Tong Yuan's expression was wrong, and immediately opened her mouth to comfort: "But Master Tong, you can rest assured, I heard that the lady in the palace has heard for a long time that the girl has extraordinary piano skills, so she recruited people to perform in the palace, presumably the girl can't suffer a loss." ”

"The lady in the palace?" Tong Yuan's eyes rolled uneasily, "Do you know which lady invited you?" ”

"I don't know which palace it is, and I don't dare to ask. However, the father-in-law who came to pass the word said that he was a noble master. Mother Liu said softly, and suddenly she sounded something, and hurriedly took out a small note from her cuff, "Yo!" Look at my elm brain, I almost forgot about it. The father-in-law who took the person away just now said, if anyone comes to find Miss Youruo today, let me give him this note, what is written on it? ”

Tong Yuan took the note from Liu's mother's hand, and the moment he opened it, he only felt a chill rush from his back to his head, and his hands trembled from the cold. Suddenly, without saying a word, he disappeared into the night.
