More than three feet of paintings are spread straight on the table, and in front of the table, an old man wearing a Confucian robe, admires and admires as he walks.

"What a picture of the landscape of the south of the Yangtze River, look at this fishing village and wild market, and look at this water pavilion...... No wonder it's a masterpiece that has been handed down to the world......"

While the old man was appreciating the new painting, the two people standing next to him also echoed it.

Suddenly, the beaded curtain hanging in front of the door was opened, and a eunuch on duty in the outer courtyard stumbled in, panting.

As soon as the eunuch entered the room, he knelt down in front of the old man who was appreciating the painting.

"Something happened to the ancestor, something happened! Shitaizhuang's grandfather-in-law was tied up and sent to the palace, and a copy was also sent. ”

Almost at the same time, the other eunuchs in the room transferred at the same time, but the two eunuchs did not speak, but looked at the old man in the middle.

The old man in a Confucian robe standing in the middle was called the inner minister of the outer court, the ancestor of the inner court, and the eunuch Feng Bao, the eunuch of the palm seal of the emperor called the "great companion", and a gloomy color flashed in his eyes, showing that he was also very unhappy, but he was calm, as if nothing had happened, just looked at the door curtain, and those deep eyes seemed to be able to see Shitaizhuang through the curtain.

"Didn't Shitaizhuang just give that tribute envoy? Why is this going wrong? ”

At any time, Feng Bao's words were full of the momentum of the chief administrator of Ouchi.

"What the hell is going on?"

After saying these two sentences, he turned around and rolled up the painting.

"Back to the words of the ancestors, this is the case sent by the same acquaintance, saying that it was Steward Sun who forcibly took the tenants' money and grain in the name of the palace......"

After taking the form, just by looking at the contents of the paper, Feng Bao's face became extremely ugly.

"Hmph, Sun has to like big dog guts!"

The reason why he was annoyed was not because Sun Dexi was greedy for so much silver, but if there were a few eunuchs who didn't like silver, it was not a big crime to do those things in the name of the emperor, but the problem was that people grabbed the handle, this is the problem!

"Dad, my son thinks it's the big dog surnamed Shi, a little acquaintance, who dares to tie up the official in charge of the village, and let him jump for a few more days, maybe he won't even take your old man in his eyes!"

"You know what!"

Feng Bao glanced at his godson, and then said coldly.

"If he didn't take the Sprinkle family in his eyes, how could he send the people and the account books to the palace together? Don't you just don't want to make things bigger and leave them to the Sprinkle family to deal with this matter? This person is a little interesting, I heard that his tribute is also very rare. ”

With that, he asked the godson on his right.

"Cao Xi, you go and deal with this matter."

"Yes, godfather, is this man still kept?"

"The old man who stayed behind in the old man back then originally had to give three points of affection and let him retire there, but since something happened, there is no need to stay!"

Cao Xi nodded, and then withdrew.

"Grandpa Cao."

The eunuch on duty who came to report the good news just now came behind Cao Xi.

"The slave maid heard that Grandpa Sun has been the head of the village for 28 years, and he has a lot of good things in his hands, and it is written on the account that he understands!"

"Hmph, that damn thing, it's greedy for so much silver!"

Cao Xi's eyebrows twitched inadvertently, but he didn't speak.

As soon as he saw Cao Xi, Sun Dexi said that he even knelt down and kowtowed.

"Grandpa Cao, you can save the slave this time......"

"Save you, how can I save you, even the account book was taken out by the family, you say, how can the Sprinkle family save you?"

At the same time as the rhetorical question, Cao Xi said in a thin and cold voice.

"Besides, you still dare to use the name of the emperor, this matter comes out, who can save you?"

Hearing this, Sun Dexi was stunned and froze there.

"You are an understanding person, you shouldn't do those things in the name of the palace, even if you do, you shouldn't let people grab the handle, the ancestor has a word, you can figure out how to die!"

"Cao, Cao's father-in-law......"

Sun Dexi, whose face changed abruptly, didn't come back to his soul for a long time.

"Really, really...... It's really hopeless. ”

Sun Dexi, who knew that the rules in the palace were like this, understood that this thing must be hopeless, things in the palace were like this, no one asked when the matter didn't come out, and no one would bear it for you if something happened, unless the godfather came back to life, but, is that possible?

"Tell me, how do you want to move? Did you simply order it, or something else? ”

This is also the rule of the palace, this is to ask for silver. If he didn't pay the money, they had a way to make him die rather than die and slowly lose his life.

Sun Dexi, who knew that he was going to die, gritted his teeth fiercely and kowtowed.

"Father-in-law Cao, the slave maid has a house in Pi'er Hutong outside the palace, the house is not big, but there are some valuable things in the house, the slave and maid don't ask for anything else, just ask you for one thing!"

"What's the matter? You said. ”

"I beg you to tell the emperor that Sun Mou was killed by the surname Shi in order to urge money and food for the palace!"

His face changed slightly, and Cao Xi stared at Sun Dexi and said.

"Why bother?"

"Father-in-law Cao, the slave maid has no other thoughts, just this one thought, and ask Father-in-law Cao to fulfill it."

Again, Sun Dexi kowtowed.

"Alright, I know what to do. Come and send grandpa on the road. ”

Before leaving, Cao Xi ordered another sentence of "be sharp", left the dungeon, and said to the little eunuch who had been following Cao Xi.

"Ancestor, is Grandpa Sun confused, is he actually thinking like this."

Before he could finish speaking, Cao Xi snorted.

"You know what! Why do you think he bought this idea? It's not because of our emperor! You think his Zhuangzi is easy to take! ”

Dropping such a sentence, Cao Xi glanced into the distance and instructed the little eunuch beside him.

"In the past two days, when you are fine, run to Sun Hai's side more often, and tell Sun Hai about this a few times, you know?"

"The slave knows ......"

For Shi Yiwen, who has just entered Beijing, naturally he doesn't know that he hasn't entered the city, but someone in the city has already calculated himself, for him, after comforting the tenants in the village with kind words, and knowing how many fields and houses his family has from the tent, the next natural interest is to visit his new home.

The home is a typical three-in, three-out courtyard in the north of the courtyard, although there is no such small garden in the courtyard of the house in Nanjing, but with the unique charm of the north, from the front yard to the main courtyard, after visiting the main hall, Shi Yiwen came to the left side of the ear room, which is usually the study.

Pushing open the paper window on the side, he unexpectedly saw a pond with a large area, looking at the beautiful scenery in the pond and the endless fields in the distance, Shi Yiwen couldn't help but say.

"From now on, this is my Zhuangzi!"
