In the evening, Wang Jian was having dinner with Qianqian and Yao'er, and the next person reported that the governor Zheng Yuqiao asked to see him.

Wang Jian said "oh", he knew that Zheng Yuqiao would come, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly: it stands to reason that it is not difficult to try the "Discussion of the King", and the crime is also said to be big or small, not small, there is no need to run to return to his life at night.

The subordinate waited for a while, and when he saw that Wang Jian didn't say anything, he retreated.

Wang Jian squinted at Qianqian, and it happened that Qianqian was also looking at him, and his pretty face climbed into a blush and lowered his head.

As soon as Yao'er heard that there was a big official, the atmosphere between the two of them was a little weird, and she looked at Wang Jian on the left and shallow on the right, and she couldn't see anything famous, so she simply said: "Brother Emperor, let me go out and have a look." ”

After Yao'er left, Wang Jian asked, "Do you say that Zheng Yuqiao is here to receive the reward or to ask for sin?" In his opinion, running to recover his life in such a hurry must have a ghost in his heart.

Shallow and unclear, he replied: "Naturally, I came to receive the reward, and the case is not difficult to trial, and it can be tried in half a day." ”

Wang Jian said: "In this case, then why does he have to rush to his life at night? ”

How smart is Qianqian, and said: "What does the emperor mean is that he used the emperor's order to seal his mouth?" ”

"Yes or no, we'll see."

Zheng Yuqiao originally thought it was an ordinary case, but the strange thing was that the emperor designated himself to try it, he waited in the living room for a long time, but no one came out, and he couldn't stop beating the drum in his heart.

When I was anxious, I saw a girl in a yellow palace dress walking in from the inner courtyard, and the people around her had special respect for her.

"Wechen has seen Niangniang."

"Adults don't have to be formal, come here, sit down, watch tea." Yao'er is Wang Jian's personal maid on weekdays, and now she has a bit of a mother's style. "Lord Zheng, the emperor is having dinner, presumably he will be here in a while, you can wait for a while."

"Don't dare, don't dare, it's Weichen who disturbed the emperor's rest." Zheng Yuqiao didn't dare to look at it more, and just drank tea with his head down after speaking.

Yao'er was somewhat dissatisfied, and said secretly: "It's really annoying to know that I bothered you to come." ”

On weekdays, Wang Jian always deals with government affairs until late, Yao'er is very distressed, and finally revealed that she has to go to bed early today, but at this time there is a nasty ghost.

"Is there anything urgent about Lord Zheng?" Yao'er asked curiously.

"This..."

Seeing his embarrassment, Yao'er couldn't help but be a little angry, and said with a small face: "It's inconvenient to say it, forget it, I'm tired, so I won't accompany him." ”

Zheng Yuqiao saw that he had provoked Niangniang's displeasure, and when he thought about it, this matter was also related to the safety of the emperor and the mothers, so he said: "Niangniang, the minister is afraid that assassins have been mixed in this garden, and the matter is very important, so please ask Niangniang to give it to the emperor quickly." ”

Yao'er was startled when she heard this, her sister was responsible for the defense of this garden, and she had always been a thief, but seeing him with a serious face, it was impossible to talk nonsense about this kind of thing, and she couldn't help but be a little worried.

Just as he was worried, he saw Wang Jian and Qianqian walking in together.

"Brother Emperor, it's not good, there are assassins in our garden!" Yao'er hurriedly said, the majesty that had just pretended to be in front of Zheng Yuqiao was instantly broken, and she returned to her original innocent nature.

Wang Jian's face turned pale, and he said, "What kind of system are you talking about?" ”

Yao'er was reprimanded, knowing that she had lost her manners in front of her subordinates, so she puffed out her mouth and stopped talking.

Zheng Yuqiao is also in his fifties, half of his body is in the ground, and he can't help but love Yao'er's naïve romance, secretly thinking about whether to take another concubine when he goes home, he accepted it and said: "Cough." Your Majesty, the ministers received a report a few days ago that a beggar had died at the city gate. ”

"The Assassins did it?"

"The emperor is shengming, just guess it. According to eyewitnesses, the murderer was a young girl with strong martial arts, and the beggar was stabbed in the back of the heart by her and killed with a sword! ”

Wang Jian heard it in a fog, he asked Zheng Yuqiao to host the small case of "Scott Gentleman", how did a big assassin case pop up again. Since he was an assassin, of course he killed all the big shots, so how could he run away to kill a beggar if he had nothing to do?

Zheng Yuqiao felt that he was about to solve a shocking case, and he said excitedly: "Your Majesty, according to Weichen's investigation, that assassin has infiltrated the garden!" ”

Wang Jian felt a chill in his neck, thinking that he had lost all his martial arts, if he really encountered any assassins and Qi'er was not around, he couldn't help but shudder.

Zheng Yuqiao continued: "Moreover, the minister has concluded that the assassin still has accomplices in the garden!" It was a group crime, and presumably the beggar was also an accomplice, and he was killed for some reason! ”

It was about the emperor's comfort, and she was also very anxious, she asked: "This garden is my family's property, and it is all old people who have used it for decades, where did they come from?" ”

Zheng Yuqiao glanced at the shallow and replied: "Niece of the world, the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, this accomplice is Chen Yuanyuan, a famous prostitute in Jiangnan---!" "Wei Chen's subordinates saw with their own eyes, that day, the assassin killed the beggar, and then followed Chen Yuanyuan into this garden, if you don't believe it, please ask Chen Yuanyuan and my men to confront each other face to face!"

Qianqian was also startled, he heard Chen Yuanyuan's name several times in one day, and each time it was more mysterious than the other, and it was actually related to the assassin.

When Wang Jian heard that there was an assassin, his heart was tense, and he was relieved until he finished speaking.

He was a little annoyed, waved his hand, and said, "You don't have to worry about the assassins, how is the case I asked you to handle?" ”

"Huh?" Zheng Yuqiao was a little dazed, he originally thought that if he had done such a big case of assassinating the emperor, he could make a great contribution himself; the second took this opportunity to remove Chen Yuanyuan and remove the obstacles to Wang Qianqian's favor in the harem; The three can also cover up small cases like "the prince of the scarlet discussion", so that the emperor has no intention of investigating it deeply.

But he didn't expect the emperor to reveal the past with a thousand pounds, and he was not interested in the assassin's case, but asked about a small case that he didn't want to mention. He asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, the assassin..."

"I have my own opinions about the assassins, and what I ask is the case I asked you to handle, how is it going?!"

Zheng Yuqiao saw that the emperor was a little angry, and finally replied: "The woman of the Wei family did slander the saint, and there was the testimony of the neighbors, so she was not allowed to deny it. ”

"What?" Wang Jian couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, this Zheng Yuqiao was so ruthless, how could he say that Wei Fantong also listened to his orders to do things for him, and ended up with a ruined family.

Shallow is also cold in his heart, and secretly said how can this Zheng Yuqiao be so stupid, do things so desperately, if he really kills him, then he has no room for the emperor to return at all. The Wang and Zheng families are world friends, how can they not save them when they see death, so they said: "Uncle Zheng, the emperor drank a few more glasses at the banquet that day, and told me that the Wei family's wine has a mellow taste and an endless aftertaste. ”

Wang Jian glanced at the shallow in surprise: When did I say such a thing? Thinking of the ambiguity of that day, he looked at it, and his little face was slightly red.

Wang Jian was fascinated for a while: everyone's ladies are really not good at lying, and they blush, it's so good-looking!

That's where shallow cleverness comes in: lies are telling. Whether a lie is good or not is a performance of a person's humor, and the lies that everyone knows are not lies, but jokes. And she kindly reminded Zheng Yuqiao: Why did the emperor drink too much, don't you have a point?

As the saying goes, don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. The emperor ordered him to preside over Wei Fantong's case, so he thought about killing people and making an iron case, and unknowingly covered up the conspiracy to drunk the emperor at the banquet. For a feudal official like him, killing one or two merchants is like stepping on an ant.

But at this moment, seeing that the emperor's face was not right, his bean-sized beads of sweat finally flowed down his face. After listening to the shallow reminder again, he finally realized that what he was most worried about had happened.

What he did was nothing. To put it mildly, it is to flatter the monarch, pay attention to a moisturizing thing silently, and it is good for the faint monarch, but it is not good for the Ming monarch, because the Ming monarch can often see through his tricks at a glance. Wang Jian is not a wise monarch, but no one likes to be teased by others, let alone an emperor who is high up.

Wang Jian said coldly: "Well, the Wei family's wine is really good, I have explained to you, just to warn the world not to talk nonsense, damage the royal Qingming, and confiscate the family property, but you are smart, you really deserve to die!" ”

Qianqian persuaded at the right time: "Your Majesty, since Uncle Zheng knows that he is wrong, let him be spared this time." ”

"Hmph, if it weren't for my beloved concubine's intercession, I would never spare it, what is useful in troubled times is a capable minister who can do things, not a villain who is cheating and tricky, flattering and bewitching the lord, I hope you will do it yourself!"

"Emperor Xie, the minister is guilty, and the case will be retried immediately after the minister returns." Zheng Yuqiao then felt what it means to be a companion like a tiger: if the horses are lined up, they can't be photographed. The risk of being a minister is too great, so it is better to do your duty honestly. He glanced at Wang Qianqian gratefully, and hurriedly retreated.

Seeing Zheng Yuqiao leaving, Wang Jian and Qianqian looked at each other and smiled, one of them sang with a red face and the other with a white face, and they cooperated very tacitly, which made Zheng Yuqiao, an old fox, stunned.

Wang Jian said: "You say, when did I say that Wei Fan's wine is delicious?" ”

Qianjiao smiled and said, "Brother Jane, you were drunk that day, and you don't remember anything you said." ”

"Oh? I don't remember what I did. I've got to think about it...."Hey, I can't remember, I'll go get the wine later, and I'll remember it when I'm drunk. ”

“…”
