Chapter 168: Hidden Deeply
The man paused, and then continued: "The prime minister is discussing that he wants to collect benefits from Yichuan. ”
"Reap the benefits?"
Qiao Nian made up his mind, this is the so-called corruption? If the prime minister is also corrupt, then this is a big crime. According to his memory of this dynasty, this is to be raided.
But the Qiao family, because of Qiao Mingxin, is also related to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so it will definitely suffer.
"That's right, the amount of money he wants to embezzle, it's amazing."
The man was in the right way. If he hadn't pretended to be crazy and stupid, then it is estimated that he would have been disposed of by the prime minister a long time ago. At that time, he pretended not to know anything, and he happened to catch up with the opportunity, so the prime minister did not suspect that he heard anything particularly important, but according to the prime minister's suspicious character, he must not be able to stay with him for a long time, so he pretended to be crazy and was kicked out of the house.
"What can I do?"
After hearing this amazing news, Yun'er looked at Qiao Niannian very worriedly. Because if the prime minister knew about these things by the emperor, then Qiao Niannian, as a member of the Qiao family, would definitely be punished.
Could it be that you still disposed of King Yan?
Although Qiao Niannian thought so, because he didn't know the character of King Yan, it might be impossible if he gave up on her in order to protect himself. She's just a little woman, and he's done his duty to repay his kindness, so it's impossible to protect her all the time, right?
Qiao Mingxin is dead, even if she is dead, she can't let the Qiao family cover this layer that she shouldn't have, after all, she was raised by the Qiao family, and her dead mother was also from the Qiao family, so Qiao Niannian couldn't tolerate the prime minister doing that.
Then, you can only start first.
Through the window, the sunlight that poured in shone on the ground, and Qiao Niannian's indifferent photos were reflected on his face, and the cold air spread to the entire room, making the sunlight have no temperature at all, but reflect the temperature of the body, which seems even colder.
"It's his first time, right?"
The man didn't understand what Qiao Niannian meant, he just thought about it in his head.
"According to the tone of the prime minister, yes."
Hearing this, Qiao Niannian stretched her brows slightly, if it was only the first time, then it would be easy to do.
The next day, the prime minister's house.
The first rays of sunlight shone into the courtyard in the morning, and at this time, when the rooster was crowing and the people were preparing for an early hour, the prime minister got up early.
"Oh, I said, what are you doing!"
The voice came from the prime minister's study, but it did not come from the prime minister's mouth. Present in the room at this time was another important minister of the imperial court, Lord Si Yi.
The prime minister changed his posture at this moment, sat closer to Lord Si Yi, looked around, and lowered his voice as low as possible.
"I can guarantee that there will never be a third person other than you and me who knows about this matter."
Hearing this, Master Si Yi's brows, which were already frowning, are now wrinkled more and more clearly. He sighed again and again, because he was too old to straighten his waist, so his whole body could only lean against the table next to him.
But looking at Lord Si Yi's reluctance and disdain, although the prime minister didn't say anything on the surface, he scolded him in his heart.
Wasting his sleep time in vain and coming here to reason with him. Since he was able to come to this trip without hesitation before going to court, he must have the intention of joining.
What to pack!
"I said, Master Siyi, you can rest assured. I'll vouch for my prime minister's hat, okay? If something happens, it's all mine! What do you think? ”
The prime minister's tone became very pleading, he knew that this was what Lord Si Yi meant, so he didn't hesitate and said it directly.
"That'...... Since you have decided, Prime Minister, if you shirk it again, it will be the lower official's. ”
Master Si Yi paused, then smiled bitterly and said.
"Haha, that's right. Let's go, go up! ”
The prime minister then got up, as if he had finally solved a matter on his mind, and walked towards the door very comfortably.
Lord Si Yi and the prime minister soon left the mansion, and what they didn't know was that after they left, some changes were taking place in the mansion.
"Be careful not to be seen. Also, this matter has to be decided immediately, and there can be no hesitation, understand? ”
On the periphery of the Prime Minister's Mansion that was inaccessible, Qiao Niannian handed over a bottle of medicine to Yan Xuan, and asked him to take advantage of the Prime Minister's absence in the Mansion to control a subordinate next to the Prime Minister in the Mansion, so that he could obey her arrangement.
"Understood."
Yan Xuan had already made a plan, and his martial arts could still be done by sneaking into the mansion and not letting others find out. After Qiao Niannian explained some precautions, he jumped and turned into the Prime Minister's Mansion.
And they couldn't stay here for a long time, so Qiao Niannian and Yun'er left together.
She came to the Prime Minister's Mansion in person this time, not specifically to watch the hypocrisy enter the mansion, but to see with her own eyes who she wanted to embezzle with the Prime Minister.
And Qiao Niannian calculated the time, left the place just now, and when she walked to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she saw two people wearing official uniforms, one must be the Prime Minister, and the other is his colleague.
"That one, Master Si Yi, is a civil official, but he is also an important minister of the court."
Yun'er had seen this person before, so she said to Qiao Niannian. And Qiao Niannian was just silent, watching the two of them get into the carriage, he pretended that nothing had happened, turned around and walked towards the front.
is almost the same as she thought, and those who can embezzle together with officials like the prime minister must be important ministers of the court.
"I'll naturally come back after I've done something, let's go back to the house first."
Qiao Niannian's veil covered her entire face, but Yun'er could tell from her tone what she was thinking about now.
And soon after they arrived at the Yanwang Mansion, the hypocrisy returned.
"Madame Hui, the matter is done."
Hearing this, a smile smeared on the corner of Qiao Niannian's mouth. Hypocrisy really lives up to the trust, so that you can start to do "false holy will".
Because he has also learned a lot of history in modern times, Qiao Niannian thinks about what kind of transmission the emperor of this dynasty will be if he wants to pass on the news.
After asking Yun'er some questions, Qiao Niannian probably knew that the emperor would ask the father-in-law around him to use gold cloth to write the words that needed to be transmitted, but she didn't know this kind of font.
But Qiao Niannian was not worried at all, because words were not necessarily needed to convey information. As long as there is a seal, no matter what it is, she believes that since he can sit in the position of prime minister, then he must be able to understand.
"Yun'er, go find a piece of jade that is the same size as the jade seal, a golden cloth, and the tools for carving the seal, and take them all."
Qiao Niannian has learned how to make handicrafts in modern times, and has also learned carving for a period of time, if you pick it up now, it shouldn't be a difficult thing.
Soon, Yun'er came back after going out, and then took all the things she brought and gave them to Qiao Niannian. And after Qiao Niannian saw that the tools were almost complete, he began to prepare. This kind of thing can't be delayed, it has to be completed quickly, otherwise, if the prime minister speeds up the progress, it will be a failure.
"Madam, if the emperor knows about our false holy will, we will be cut off our heads."
Yun'er looked at the movements in Qiao Niannian's hand very worriedly, this is too risky, this kind of thing can not be careless, if this seal is seen by the prime minister, it will be over.
But Qiao Niannian couldn't see any worried look on her face, she just quietly grinded the piece of jade, touched her head almost enough, and began to carve. Although she hasn't practiced for several years, she still feels a little confident in getting started.
Yun'er's worries are actually a little reasonable, but if the prime minister is not stupid, he will definitely be able to understand the meaning, and if he understands, then he will definitely not let others know, let alone be sacred, after all, this is related to his life and future.
A few hours passed, and Qiao Niannian finally made this "fake jade seal". Although the appearance is not similar, if this is printed, it is impossible to tell the authenticity.
took out a piece of gold cloth, so that it was basically the same as the emperor's use, and Qiao Niannian immediately drew a Yizhou appearance on it.
Yun'er looked at this finished product, and the frowning brows just now couldn't help but stretch. But it wasn't because she wasn't worried, but because she was surprised by Qiao Niannian's level of craftsmanship.
It's too similar.
Qiao Niannian looked at this work of his with satisfaction, and then called out the hypocrisy, and handed it over to the subordinate who was under control in the Prime Minister's Mansion today.
"Ma'am, can you really make sure that this thing will go smoothly?"
Because she was really too worried, Yun'er still said the doubts in her heart.
"I believe that the prime minister is a smart man and will not keep this thing for too long."
Now that it was the end of the day, Qiao Niannian got up and stretched his body. Although Yun'er didn't understand it very well, she also understood a rough idea, and she knew that Qiao Niannian basically had the chance to win, so she didn't say anything anymore.
The next day.
"Is this true?"
In the prime minister's house, the subordinate handed over this holy will to the prime minister. And this prime minister, as soon as he received this holy will, he was a little panicked, and after opening the fast cloth and seeing the contents inside, he was even more frightened and his legs weakened, and he sat on the chair next to him.
"It's true, a person wearing palace clothes handed over to a villain must be a holy will."
The man fell to his knees and did not dare to look up.
And the prime minister, glanced at the seal on the lower right, and the sweat on his face flowed straight down.
Does this emperor have clairvoyance or ears? Why did he suddenly know what he had just started doing? Fortunately, the emperor did not deal with it publicly in his face, otherwise, his head would not be protected.
Rearranging the holy will, the prime minister eased his mood for a moment, and then walked quickly to a room with a brazier, and threw the cloth into it.
This, of course, can't be kept, and can't be used as a handle.
Looking at the smoke that suddenly rose, the prime minister wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead with his sleeve.
It's so dangerous, I blame myself for being blinded for a while. It seems that he will definitely not be able to do this kind of thing in the future, otherwise, according to the emperor's temperament, it will be impossible to forgive him for the second time.
And at the same time, the Yan King's mansion.
Gongzhijin is in the study, he has long been exempted from the court, and he is looking at the book intently at the moment.
Because of the prestige of King Yan, no matter what he does, no matter who he is, he will not be dissatisfied, after all, even the emperor has to give him three points.
As for this kind of going to court, he will only go if he feels that it is necessary, and under normal circumstances, it is Ye Mingxuan who comes to report some situations to him.
Today, Ye Mingxuan came to his study again, but this time, the purpose was a little different.
"I found out something about the prime minister."
Ye Mingxuan kept pacing back and forth in front of Gong Zhijin, thinking about what to say. There is something strange about this matter, and it must be someone else operating in secret.
"Oh? How's it going. ”
Seeing him so embarrassed, Gong Zhijin became curious, what else was there that he couldn't say.
And Ye Mingxuan didn't care about Gong Zhijin's expression, he just thought about the wording by himself. But it didn't take long for him to feel a little messy in his mind, so it was better to tell the truth directly.
