The emperor summoned, where can it be delayed. And looking at Xu Sheng's appearance, presumably His Majesty the Emperor in the palace is in a very bad mood, and this can't be delayed. Putting down the teacup in his hand, Xu Youzhen didn't care about eating breakfast, put on his official uniform under Xu Shengliang's service, and hurriedly got into the carriage and rushed to the palace.

"There is something strange about today." Xu Youzhen looked at the heavy rain outside the window, and said secretly in her heart.

Wencheng Street, which had been silent for more than ten years, suddenly had an assassination incident, and even died under the monitoring of the East Factory, and even Haoguo's heavy weapon, the Seven Star Crossbow, appeared. If the seven-star crossbow that appeared on Wencheng Street was not from the palace, then the spearhead would be directly pointed at the person surnamed Luo from the procuratorate.

What does King Luo Bin mean, every year Dongchang acquiesces that he can go to pay homage once, in order to stabilize him. But what does it mean now, impatient? Send someone to make something happen on Wencheng Street, so that His Majesty will completely lose faith in Dongchang?

But this method is too inferior, but if you think about it, King Luo Bin will not do such a stupid thing, not to mention whether he can disappoint His Majesty, just because of the loss of the Seven Star Crossbow, His Majesty can punish him for a serious crime. But apart from King Luo Bin, who else dares to be presumptuous in front of Dongchang. And if it weren't for King Luo Bin, then this incident would be provoking the two of them. Today's Haoguo officialdom can withstand the Dongchang and the procuratorate, but the people have not yet appeared.

"This incident may have something to do with the assassin." Xu Youzhen supported her chin with one hand, thoughtfully.

It's just that it's been so long, and there is no news about the person who was assassinated, who is sacred, and it is worth the people behind it, so he didn't hesitate to use the seven-star crossbow, and chose to do it under the nose of Dongchang.

"Ni Songhan, is there any other news?" Xu Youzhen asked.

"Lord Ni didn't say anything." The factory guard who drove the horse grabbed the reins, stopped the carriage, then got out of the car, opened the oil-paper umbrella, and said respectfully: "Factory governor, it's here." ”

Xu Youzhen straightened her clothes, stretched out a white hand to lift the curtain, and then stepped on the step stool and got out of the carriage.

"Factory Governor, is the little one coming in with you?" The cronie asked.

Xu Youzhen just waved his hand, and as a result, the umbrella in the hands of his cronies said: "Whoever our majesty calls, he will take it, but I don't like other people to follow." Just wait here. ”

Raising his head and looking at the magnificent imperial city, Xu Youzhen sighed, gently lifted the hem of his clothes and walked inside, the guards guarding the palace gate also knew him, lowered his head and said hello, and did not stop him.

After passing the city gate, he stepped on the white steps of the imperial study along a straight royal road, handed the umbrella to the little eunuch on his side at will, and was about to go inside, but before the door was opened, Wangcai walked out of the inside and stopped him.

"Father-in-law Wangcai, what does this mean?" Xu Youzhen looked at Wangcai who was blocking in front of him, with a smile on his face, and asked.

Although the Wangcai in front of him is only forty, and it is not a position such as the head of the harem, Xu Youzhen knows that there are few people in Haoguo who can be compared with Wangcai now, and even he and the one in the procuratorate cannot be compared. He can have nothing to do with King Luo Bin, but with the prosperity in front of him, he should be polite, after all, behind the family is the emperor of Haoguo now.

Wangcai didn't speak immediately, but just made a gesture of invitation to the outside of the hall.

Since Wangcai is not allowed to enter, that is what the emperor means. Following Wangcai's instructions, Xu Youzhen walked outside the hall.

"Your Majesty is busy now, Governor Xu needs to stay outside." Wangcai didn't have any expression on his face, and his tone was even more flat.

Xu Youzhen was not angry, smiled wryly, and asked, "I wonder when Your Majesty will finish his work?" ”

"We don't know about this." Wangcai put his hand in front of his lower abdomen, looked at the imperial city immersed in the heavy rain, and said, "But Your Majesty said that if Governor Xu Chang is tired, you can kneel down first." ”

Wangcai said very plainly, and his tone did not fluctuate without any fluctuations. Of course, in the eyes of others, this sentence is just to convey the emperor's words, but in Xu Youzhen's eyes, it is not just that.

With his ability, he won't have trouble standing all day, and His Majesty also knows it, but at this time, he said that he can kneel when he is tired, where is it, it is clear that he will kneel and wait. His Majesty, the emperor of Haoguo, really likes to make people kneel.

didn't ask much, Xu Youzhen straightened out the hem of her clothes and slowly knelt down. Wangcai glanced at Xu Youzhen obliquely, didn't speak, and stood aside, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xu Youzhen also glanced at Wangcai, and seeing that the latter ignored it, he shook his head and knelt down to look ahead.

The rain was still falling, and the bean-sized raindrops fell on the eaves and crackled. The room was still quiet, and there was not a single sound.

Xu Youzhen is not in a hurry, anyway, there are still people who have not arrived, and he can't get in for the time being.

"Dean Luo." But after a long time, Wangcai behind him shouted.

Looking for the sound, King Luo Bin walked briskly in the heavy rain, still in the same scholarly costume as always.

"Father-in-law Wangcai." Luo Bin saluted Wangcai, then put away the umbrella, and put the umbrella in the hands of the palace maid with a smile.

Wangcai waved his hand and motioned for the palace maids on both sides to step back, then stretched out a hand and said, "Your Majesty is busy now, please ask Dean Luo to wait outside the hall as well." ”

King Luo Bin arched his hand, smiled and handed over the other folding fan in his waist to Wangcai, and then strode forward and knelt down with Xu Youzhen.

As early as when he came, he saw Xu Youzhen kneeling in front of the imperial study from a distance, and he also saw Wangcai standing aside, and he knew what His Majesty meant at a glance. And Xu Sheng, who came to him to enter the palace today, did not look very good, listening to Xu Sheng's words, King Luo Bin could know that His Majesty's mood today was not very good, although he didn't know what the reason was, but looking at the posture outside the palace, he was not optimistic.

Kneeling down a few steps away from Xu Youzhen, King Luo Bin didn't want to take a look at the overseer of Dongchang who made him nauseous.

Xu Youzhen didn't look over it, and greeted with a smile: "Dean Luo, you can sleep comfortably last night." ”

King Luo Bin did not answer, and knelt quietly.

Seeing King Luo Bin's reaction like this, Xu Youzhen also spoke more, turned his head, and knelt quietly.

From a distance, outside the imperial study of the imperial city, the two powerful ministers in the political arena of Haoguo are kneeling so quietly, looking a little embarrassed against the background of the rain.

However, the two kneeling did not have a trace of complaint, nor did they dare to complain. Although the two of them are in charge of almost all the secret agents and spies in Haoguo, none of them dares to guarantee that His Majesty sitting inside will not leave a hand, and the kneeling next to them is an old opponent who has been fighting for many years, so they need to be cautious in their words and deeds at this time.

As the minutes ticked by, the two of them kept kneeling. Xu Youzhen is okay, after all, he is a practitioner, but King Luo Bin, although he has been in charge of the procuratorate for many years, he is still a weak scholar in nature, and after kneeling for so much, his face slowly turned pale, and his originally straight body was a little weak at the moment.

"If Dean Luo can't do it, ask Your Majesty for a favor, and let's save some effort." Xu Youzhen said in a weird way.

King Luo Bin just smiled miserably, and said slowly: "Governor Xu Chang is old, don't kneel down to make a mistake, you have to ask the imperial doctor when the time comes, it's better to worry about yourself first." ”

"Hmph." Xu Youzhen snorted, glanced at King Luo Bin, and then said, "Dean Luo is so confident, don't you really know what happened today?" ”

"Luo doesn't know, does Governor Xu know?" King Luo Bin turned his head and looked at Xu Youzhen and said.

As soon as they finished speaking, there was a rush of footsteps behind the two. Without waiting for the two to look, they saw Wangcai holding a royal plate, pushed open the door and walked in.

"Can Dean Luo see the object in Wangcai's father-in-law's hand?" Xu Youzhen covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "It seems to be the seven-star crossbow that His Majesty placed in your courtyard." ”

King Luo Bin also saw the object placed in the plate, and if he was not mistaken, it should be a crossbow and a long knife. If nothing else, that crossbow is the seven-star crossbow, but I don't know why it appears here, is it the one in the palace, but it's not like ah, the one in the palace won't be taken out so easily. If it's not the one in the palace, it's one of the six in the procuratorate's possession.

In this way, the official of the procuratorate who guarded the Heaven Guarding Pavilion this morning was not wrong, and it was indeed one missing. No wonder Xu Youzhen is so happy, the loss of the seven-star crossbow is a big crime, presumably this is the reason why His Majesty is in a hurry to summon him.

"I don't know if Governor Xu saw it, the knife on the plate seems to be your Dongchang thing." King Luo Bin exhaled, not to be outdone.

"What!" Hearing King Luo Bin's words, Xu Youzhen was startled at first, and then began to recall what he saw in Wangcai's hands just now, just paid attention to the seven-star crossbow, and didn't pay too much attention to the long knife placed on the side, now in retrospect, that long knife is really his Dongchang.

Xu Youzhen panicked at first, at first he just thought that someone was borrowing Wencheng Street to make trouble, so a seven-star crossbow appeared, so that he could throw everything to King Luo Bin, and he could get out, but now it is different, the knife of Dongchang has also appeared, and now he can't shake it if he wants to. I just don't know where it is sacred, to do such a bureau, to involve both families.

No wonder Your Majesty is so angry today, these two objects appear at the same time, there is always a hint of it, it seems to say that Dongchang has reached some kind of cooperation with the procuratorate. This is the last thing His Majesty wants to see, more than ten years ago, Dongchang and Jinyiwei were in the same stream, more than ten years later, there is so, I am afraid that Your Majesty will quickly cut through the mess and eradicate the two families.

Similarly, King Luo Bin also has this concern, he and Xu Youzhen have been shaking for so many years, and now these two objects appear at the same time, combined with the Wencheng Street incident that I learned today, although I don't know who was assassinated, but there is no need to guess, Your Majesty is very angry.

Without waiting for the two of them to think about it, Wangcai pushed open the door, walked out of the hall, and said to King Luo Bin and Xu Youzhen: "Dean Luo, Governor Xu, Your Majesty will let you in." ”

The two of them looked at the imperial study, and their hearts couldn't help but tighten, and secretly said, this trip to the imperial study, I'm afraid it's not that simple.
