There are many things in this world that need to be tacitly passed through the motions to make people believe in the truthfulness, fairness and justice, including openness.

And the most representative of them is the great democratic election, which tacitly goes through the motions, so that people who do not believe in fairness and justice "believe" that this is a fair and just event.

Similarly, since Ye Qing occasionally feels a cold, even if no one believes that it is true, obviously, people are willing to believe that what he said is true, so he also needs to act like an occasional cold, just like the passing scene of an election, to ensure the authenticity of the matter, so that people can see that he is really cold.

So Ye Qing, who was full of red light, wore a black fur coat, covered his mouth with a piece of Jinpai that he had taken from Wen Wan's hand, and walked into the private room with great vigor and vigor.

His eyes swept over the private room, and after he came in, his face was pale and cold sweating, more like Zhao Ruyu who was infected with wind and cold than him, and then swept over Qian Xiangzu and Xiao Zhen, and asked angrily: "What's the matter?" How did Liu Dexiu die? ”

"Back to my lord, it's not clear for the time being." Xiao Zhen and Qian Xiangzu said almost at the same time.

Ye Qing glanced at Zhao Ruyu again, and then with his other hand, he directly took the letter in Zhao Ruyu's hand, flipped through it casually, put it on the table, picked up another copy and looked at it.

"Lord Ye......." Zhao Ruyu is like having just lost a battle, no, it should be said that it is Zhao Ruyu who has won a defeated battle, looking up at Ye Qing a little weakly, and before he can speak, he was stopped by Ye Qing.

"Lord Qian went to the backyard of Liu's mansion to look for Liu Dexiu's greedy silver taels, and after finding them, he brought them all back to the Yangzhou Government Office. Xiao Zhen ....... Ye Qing took away the Jinpa that was covering his mouth, paused and said, "Take the person away for an autopsy to see how he died." Inform their family members...... They are allowed to wear linen and filial piety and publish obituaries. ”

"Lord Ye, this silver can't be brought back to the Yangzhou Government Office......." Zhao Ruyu heard that Ye Qing was going to take away Liu Dexiu's greedy silver, and instantly stood up from the chair.

Ye Qing frowned slightly, glanced up and down at Zhao Ruyu, and then said, "You all go out first and take people away." ”

Xiao Zhen and Qian Xiangzu could only obey Ye Qing's dispatch at this time, after all, because of this letter of rehabilitation, Zhao Ruyu's actions and motives had already marked a big question mark, and it was obviously impossible for him to send him to handle the case.

As Liu Dexiu's body was carried away, and Xiao Zhen and Qian Xiangzu walked out of the private room, the originally gloomy private room, the original dignified atmosphere was also slightly eased.

"The silver is the silver allocated by the Ministry of Industry to Huainan East Road for disaster relief in Beidi 4th Road, even if the right minister wants to prove that Liu Dexiu committed suicide because of greed for ink, Huainan East Road can prove it to the right minister, and there is no need to take the stolen silver away. The Shangyuan Festival has passed, and the beginning of spring is just around the corner, once some of the river embankments are melted, it is possible that the yellow water of the four roads in the north will flood again, so this amount of silver, I still need to take it to save the lives of the people of the four roads in the north. Lord Youxiang, you don't have to worry about this silver thing. Ye Qing sat down on the other side and said.

"Lord Ye doesn't want to be greedy for ink, right?" Zhao Ruyu said with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth.

"You're still worried about your business, right? The right minister worked tirelessly and traveled all the way to Yangzhou, it wouldn't be just to take away the silver, right? Or rather...... This letter of Liu Dexiu's letter to the king of rehabilitation, caught your sore feet? That's why the right prime minister took this opportunity to ....... Ye Qing only then began to carefully flip through the rehabilitation book and said.

"Shut up!" Zhao Ruyu shouted angrily, and the body that had just sat down suddenly stood up again: "Ye Qing, you are a bloody mouth, I, Zhao Ruyu, have come here on an errand to ......." ”

"And how do you explain that?" Ye Qing glanced lightly at Zhao Ruyu, who was on the verge of rage, raised the rehabilitation letter in his hand, and said, "You can hide the matter of Jiankang from others back then, but you can't hide it from a few of us who were also present at the time, right?" Shi Miyuan, Han Yanxuan, and I, Ye Qing, are all in Jiankang, and we know better than others what happened that day. Later, I was trapped in the palace of the king of letters, and escaped to Dali Temple in a bloody way, and I also knew what happened later, and I also knew why Shi Hao, the Duke of Wei, did not dare to pursue me to Dali Temple, but he hid in the mansion without saying a word, and did not see anyone for half a year. And you, Zhao Ruyu, are rising above the court because of this. It is true that Emperor Gaozong supported you behind him, but ...... Have you framed King Xin and manipulated King Xin's rights and wrongs in front of Emperor Gaozong? Only then did Emperor Gaozong get angry and completely give up King Xin? ”

"I don't, I, Zhao Ruyu, have been bright and upright all my life, and I have stood upright, what is the reason for the matter with Zhao Xuan, don't you Ye Qing know? is a man, and he can't stand this kind of thing where his wife is hooked up with, and then double cultivation is killed. This kind of thing, if it is put on you Ye Qing, can you bear it? I'm afraid you will lead a large army and burn people to ashes in the first place! And I, Zhao Ruyu, how could I take revenge back then? I have endured humiliation for many years, just for this face, not to make the world laugh at me Zhao Ru is stupid and cowardly, my wife was played to death, and I didn't even dare to let a fart go! Zhao Ruyu's eyes turned red, and he gritted his teeth with emotion, which made people wonder if King Xin came back from the dead and stood in front of him, would he eat his life directly.

Some of the intricate grievances and grievances back then were experienced by Ye Qing himself, and some were old things, either he knew them after he became the commander of the Imperial City Division, and some of them were known from Zhong Qing's mouth.

So he was never surprised by some ugly things in the royal family, just like the emperor gave his concubine to the saint today, and now he has the same grace from the saint, which makes the tension between the queen and Huang Guifei today.

In the final analysis, the royal clan, as the most eye-catching and dazzling group of the imperial court, has done a completely unsatisfactory job in terms of exemplary behavior in the whole society.

Ye Qing sighed slightly, meticulously folded the letter of rehabilitation and put it in the envelope, deliberately did not look at Zhao Ruyu's angry gaze, and said lightly: "If there is no this rehabilitation, Lord Right is on Huainan East Road, in order to investigate Liu Dexiu's corruption, Ye will never ask." But...... Ye is also a minister of the imperial court, as the commander of the Imperial City Division, he is also responsible for the safety of the royal family. As for the right minister, Ye naturally has no right or qualification to ask, but Liu Dexiu's matter, I'm afraid that the right minister can't be allowed to interfere for the time being, and as for whether the right minister stays in Yangzhou or returns to Lin'an, Ye doesn't ask. ”

"In your opinion, is this someone secretly harming me?" Listening to Ye Qing's words, Zhao Ruyu, who gradually calmed down, asked in a deep voice.

"If I were Han Cheng, I would do the same, and even more ruthlessly than this." Ye Qing took the two letters, stood up and smiled.

"You mean Han Cheng?" Zhao Ruyu had doubted Han Cheng, but he didn't think that Han Cheng would be able to react so quickly.

With Han Cheng's old scheming, every time he plans and then acts, even if he falls into a temporary passivity, the old fox has enough endurance, and will break the situation and recover the disadvantage in an orderly and unhurried manner according to his plan.

Especially when he was suppressed by Wang Huai in the court, he was like a lost dog, but Han Cheng was still unhurried, not at all anxious about the passive situation he was in at that time, he fought steadily, and did not give Wang Huai any chance to completely knock him down, so as to finally turn defeat into victory.

"Are you a dead man? You've been friends with him for many years, who is he, don't you need me to remind you, right? Ye Qing sneered and said.

"But...... He didn't want to send troops to the southwest, and judge Ziqi and Luo Dian again, how could he still have the mind to ....... Zhao Ruyu still asked with some disbelieving.

"When you set off from Lin'an, I haven't received your letter yet, even I, the pacification envoy of Huainan East Road far away in Yangzhou, knew about King Qing's secret impeachment of Liu Dexiu, do you think Han Cheng and his son will not know?" Ye Qing asked with a smile, and then began to walk out.

Wen Wan and a few guys, including a few arresters from the Criminal Department, were still standing next to her, signaling that this private room should be sealed first, and no one was allowed to enter, and the decision would be made after the cause of Liu Dexiu's death was investigated.

"What would you do if so?" Zhao Ruyu, who walked to the door of the slanting wind and drizzle building, still asked a little unwillingly.

Although he didn't trust Ye Qing very much, and even in his heart, Han Cheng, Han Yanxuan's father and son, and Ye Qing were all people he hated very much, but right now, for a while, before he couldn't find a suitable candidate for discussion, he still wanted to hear Ye Qing's advice.

After all, although Ye Qing is not very old, he is already a sinister and cunning old fox with a deep city government above the court.

"Ruined this letter of rehabilitation?" Zhao Ruyu looked at Ye Qing who was smiling and didn't speak, where did he look like a person who occasionally felt cold, looking refreshed, and he didn't know how much better than his mental state at this time.

"Ruined? Is it useful to ruin it? Ye Qing smiled and said, "If what I expected is right, this is just a reminder to you, I'm afraid it will ......." After glancing at Zhao Ruyu, who was in chaos, he continued: "On the Lin'an court, and even on the table of the saint, there is already this recital for King Xin's rehabilitation. Do you think that Han Cheng will only let Liu Dexiu impeach you and rehabilitate King Xin? What kind of thing is Liu Dexiu? Is he above the court? It's just a Yangzhou prefect, is he on the stage in Lin'an, how much can he know about the secrets of the royal family? To put it bluntly, the reason why Liu Dexiu wrote to rehabilitate King Xin, I guess, is to protect his family from being implicated, and to exchange his family's life for his family's life in front of Han Cheng. Therefore, your way out is in Lin'an, and staying in Yangzhou will only make the fire behind you bigger and bigger. ”

"How do I feel that you are involved in this? The wall is down and everyone pushes it? Zhao Ruyu, who gradually began to calm down, especially listening to Ye Qing's words to drive him out of Yangzhou, couldn't help but squint his eyes suspiciously and asked.

"I, Ye Qing, have never done anything about beating water dogs, but I'm happy to appreciate the dog-eat-dog drama." Ignoring Zhao Ruyu's eyes that warned him and compared him to Han Cheng as dogs, Ye Qing continued: "If I participated, would you Zhao Ruyu still be able to swagger out of the slanting wind and drizzle building?" ”

"In the end, it was cheaper for you, and I got rid of a big trouble for you on Huainan East Road, and then you Ye Qing can recommend a Yangzhou prefect by yourself...... In fact, you have seen through all this a long time ago, and you have been waiting for me to fight Han Cheng, and then sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman? Zhao Ruyu couldn't help but continue to speculate according to Ye Qing's train of thought.

What's more, the current situation is particularly unfavorable to him Zhao Ruyu, and for the pacification of Huainan East Road, it is simply a great advantage for Ye Qing.

Liu Dexiu died because he investigated his greed for ink and silver, and bit himself back before he died, which made his trip to Yangzhou in vain, but Ye Qing profited from it, and he was able to watch himself return to Lin'an and continue to fight with Han Cheng to the death.

"It was after Liu Dexiu died that I figured it out, in fact, before this, I really thought you were here for Liu Dexiu's corruption." Ye Qing said with a smile.

He really figured out some things before he went out today, but it wasn't that he had seen through it a long time ago, but about the letter he asked Liu Dexiu to write for the rehabilitation of King Xin.

Obviously, he also underestimated Shi Miyuan, Han Cheng and others in Lin'an, thinking that he was the only one in the world who lacked the virtue of ethics and the righteousness of etiquette.

But just when he forgot about the slanting wind and drizzle building before going out today, he was suddenly shocked in his heart and cold behind him, and began to feel that it was impossible for Han Cheng and Han Yanxuan, who were far away in Lin'an, including Shi Miyuan, to watch this good show in Yangzhou indifferently in Lin'an, how could they forget to fall into the hole for Zhao Ruyu at this time? So they will inevitably make some moves to take advantage of the situation to suppress Zhao Ruyu.

Han Cheng and Han Yanxuan's father and son have absolute reasons to do so, after all, Zhao Ruyu went to Yangzhou on an errand, as if he had declared war on their father and son at the first time, so how could their father and son miss the opportunity to suppress Zhao Ruyu and then monopolize the power of the court when they were in Lin'an?

As for Shi Miyuan, this goods has a keen sense of smell like a profiteer, and if he doesn't pick up money on the road, how can he give up a great opportunity at this time and win over himself above the court?

Although he couldn't get more benefits in this incident, he took this opportunity to take advantage of Zhao Ruyu's fall, Han Cheng, Han Yanxuan's father and son, and temporarily had no time to take care of his small actions.

Listening to Ye Qing's analysis, Zhao Ruyu, whose face had just returned to calm slightly, suddenly turned much paler.

Ye Qing's analysis is not wrong, because of King Qing's impeachment of Liu Dexiu, he handled the whole matter too simply, too much to take for granted, just thinking that as long as he grasps the evidence of Liu Dexiu's corruption, then it is possible to seize the evidence that Liu Dexiu bribed Han Cheng and his son, which is equivalent to pinching the lifeblood of Han Cheng and his son in the court, and he can use this to suppress Han Cheng in the court, and then he, the right minister, may take this opportunity to dictate the court.

Under the lust for profit, he, Zhao Ruyu, obviously only thought about how to suppress Han Cheng and his son, but forgot how to prevent Han Cheng and his son from attacking him behind his back, which also made the situation so passive today.

"Go back to Lin'an and explain clearly in front of the saint, after all, King Shin has been dead for several years, and it is impossible for him to come back to life. And you are also a clan, and the saint is merciful and wise, and you will always think of a way for you for the sake of your fellow clan and the fact that you supported him as the emperor in the first place. And if you don't return to Lin'an, I guess that in some time, once Liu Dexiu's death reaches Lin'an, it may be difficult for you to go back with a swagger. When Emperor Taishang rehabilitated Yue Fei back then, how many people died, and how did Qin Hui, who was already dead, end up, presumably Yiguo Gong also knew it in his heart, right? So if you go back late, once Han Cheng and his son incite more courtiers to rehabilitate King Xin, then you will be in a desperate situation. Ye Qing stepped on the stool with one foot, looked back at Zhao Ruyu who was dripping in cold sweat and said.

"Lord Ye, can you help me delay the news of Liu Dexiu's death for a few days?" Zhao Ruyu can climb to today's high position, and he can still make a decision at a critical moment.

"I try my best, but I don't guarantee it." Ye Qing said after stepping into the carriage.
