When they arrived at the gate of the palace, the two of them got down from the sedan chair, Liu Shouyou hurriedly walked a few steps to Zhang Whale's side, and arched his hand to Zhang Whale with a smile and said, "Father-in-law Zhang, Your Majesty summoned me, what is the matter?" ”

Glancing at Liu Shouyou, Zhang Whale immediately smiled: "Lord Liu, our family doesn't know this, but Lord Liu, the emperor announced that you have entered the palace, for what, you should know better than our family, right?" ”

After listening to Zhang Jing's words, Liu Shouyou's heart sank, and it was really for the sake of the Arsenal Division.

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Yijun looked at Liu Shouyou who walked in from the outside, there was no expression on his face, and after Liu Shouyou saluted, Zhu Yijun didn't speak, so he let Liu Shouyou stand there. Zhu Yijun himself was rummaging through the folds, looking very busy.

After a while, Zhu Yijun put down the fold in his hand and said, "Liu Aiqing, excuse yourself!" ”

Liu Shouyou stood up at this time, although he was very uncomfortable, he still stood by respectfully, quietly waiting for Zhu Yijun to ask.

"A few days ago, I told you to handle the case of the Arsenal Division, and I didn't see you report for a few days, so I wanted to find you here today to ask." Zhu Yijun looked at Liu Shouyou and said lightly: "Is there any difficulty, is there anything I need help with." ”

Although Zhu Yijun's words are very nice and his tone is very gentle, Liu Shouyou is not stupid.

I haven't done my errand for so many days, if I naively think that the emperor is happy, then there will be ghosts. His subordinates can't do good errands, and he has the heart to kill them, and the emperor is estimated to be about the same as himself at that time.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have allowed myself to salute for so long if I had just come in by myself.

Liu Shouyou hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the reply given by the Ministry of War is that it was taken by mistake, the person who went to Beijing to deliver the ordnance took the abandoned ordnance to the Beijing camp, and the person who sent the ordnance was not familiar with the warehouse of the Arsenal Division. ”

"Mistaking the ordnance of an abandoned armory for a good ordnance."

Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Liu Shouyou, and subconsciously blurted out: "That person is not a temporary worker, right?" ”

Liu Shou was stunned, temporary worker? What kind of temporary worker, what does the emperor mean by this?

cleared his throat, Zhu Yijun also knew that this was an inertial reaction, and he was really reflexed by the department that operated as fiercely as a tiger in later generations. After calming down his emotions, Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "They said, you just believe it?" ”

Liu Shouyou said with a look of grievance: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't believe it!" ”

"The minister asked people to check the documents of the Ministry of War, and the documents were not bad at all, and the minister thought that he would bring people back to Jinyiwei for questioning, but the Ministry of War said that unless there was the emperor's will and there was evidence of guilt, they would never allow the minister to bring people to Jinyiwei."

At this time, Liu Shouyou couldn't care about being embarrassed, so he simply locked them up, hoping that the emperor would see that he was pitiful and could open the net.

"The minister asked him to check the Zhang Mu of the Arsenal Division, but the accounts of the Arsenal Division are complicated, and no clues have been found until now, the minister is incompetent, please punish the emperor!" Saying this, Liu Shouyou knelt directly on the ground and pestle the ground with his head.

Zhu Yijun looked at Liu Shouyou and sighed helplessly, is this Liu Shouyou stupid to follow the civil officials for so many years?

Is this how Jin Yiwei investigates the case?

However, Zhu Yijun also knew that Liu Shouyou really had no choice, Zhu Yijun glanced at Zhang Whale and said, "Zhang Whale, you and Liu Shouyou will go and check together!" Saying that, Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said, "Okay, you guys go down!" I'm a little tired. ”

Liu Shouyou walked out with an embarrassed face, which was disgusted.

Glancing at Zhang Whale beside him, Liu Shou said with some flattery: "Father-in-law Zhang, please give me a lot of advice." ”

Zhang Whale smiled and said, "Lord Liu, our family doesn't dare to teach Lord Liu, the emperor asks us to run errands together, then our family will naturally do our best." If Master Liu is not busy, how about going to a place with our family first? ”

Liu Shou was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly nodded with a smile: "I'm not busy, where to go?" Please also make it public. ”

"Wuqing Bo Mansion!" Zhang Whale didn't hide it, and said with a smile.

Liu Shou was stunned, what to do in Wuqingbo's Mansion?

In the capital, who doesn't know Wuqingbo's mansion, not only because Wuqingbofu is the queen mother's maiden family, but also because Wuqingbo is the most influential figure in the capital in recent years. Qing Shui Xuan in Wuqing Bo Mansion is a big name.

Relying on the sale of mirrors, Wuqing Bofu has made a lot of money over the years.

The fresh vegetables every winter, that is a lot of money, Wuqing Bofu has doubled in recent years, which can be said to be extremely luxurious. The people of Wuqing Bofu are also extremely extravagant, and they are definitely sonic shocks in the capital.

In addition to Wuqingbo's mansion, it is the maiden home of the queen mother, which is really Xuanhe's abnormal.

Although Liu Shouyou didn't know why Zhang Whale went to Wuqing Bo's Mansion, he didn't have the right to make decisions now, so he could only follow behind Zhang Whale. The two of them came to Wuqingbo's mansion together, and then stood at the door and waited, letting Menzi go in and report.

Although Liu Shouyou and Zhang Whale, one is the eunuch who is the chief eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi who is ordered to supervise the affairs of the East Factory, and the other is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, but in front of the door of Wuqing Bo's Mansion, they are not as stubborn.

It didn't take long for a person to come out of Wu Qingbo's mansion, it was Li Gao, the uncle of the country.

The two of them hurriedly smiled and saluted: "I've seen Uncle Guo!" ”

Li Gao also hurriedly returned the salute, although Li Gao is the son of Wu Qingbo Li Wei and the elder brother of the Queen Mother, but Zhang Whale and Liu Shouyou came to the door together, and they couldn't wait to ignore it. Smiled and made a gesture of please, Li Gao said: "Two of you, please inside, my father is waiting for you in the living room." ”

The three of them walked in through the side door together, in fact, Zhang Whale and Liu Shouyou were not qualified to let Wu Qingbo's Mansion open the main entrance.

The three of them came to the hall and saw Wu Qingbo Li Wei sitting here.

Zhang Whale and Liu Shouyou hurriedly went up to salute: "I've seen the Guozhang!" ”

Wu Qingbo Li Wei smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, sit down!" After speaking, he said to the maid who was waiting on the side: "Serve tea to Grandpa Zhang and Lord Liu, and use the tea from the last palace reward." ”

Listening to Wu Qingbo's words, Liu Shouyou was a little apprehensive in his heart, and turned his head to look at Zhang Whale.

Zhang Whale had a smile on his face, and seemed to be unimpressed: "Guozhang, we came this time to ask Guozhang for help." Our family and Lord Liu were ordered to investigate a case and wanted to find it. ”

Before he finished speaking, Wu Qingbo Li Wei's face had already sunk: "But it involves our Wu Qingbo Mansion?" Say, "Who is it, tell me, I will not spare it!" After speaking, he glared at Li Gao: "Is it that you kid is causing trouble again?" ”

Zhang Jing hurriedly said: "Guozhang, Guozhang, no, it didn't involve Wuqingbo's Mansion, our family and Lord Liu gave it here to borrow someone." Borrow some bookkeepers, especially old ones who are familiar with paperwork. ”
