"Dad, why hasn't the official messenger come yet?"

Xu Jingqing walked anxiously around in the living room, while Xu Heng was buried in the affairs of the ministry, in recent days, the emperor's attitude towards himself has become better and better, and he has become more and more dependent on himself.

No, let himself sort out the management affairs of the ministry and report it, which Xu Heng would never do in the past, these people under him would do it, but now that the emperor ordered it, Xu Heng naturally wants to satisfy Jiang Yang, which is related to whether he and the Xu family can go further.

Hearing Xu Jingqing's words, he only raised his head lightly, in fact, he thought that Xu Jingqing was worried about these things completely too much, if there was really conclusive evidence to prove that he was cheating, according to Jiang Yang's temperament, he would have already arrested himself, how could he wait now?

But after all, it is his own son, Xu Heng said lightly: "What's the hurry, this has just been released, maybe it's already on the way here, wait patiently." "Dad, why don't I go to the East Gate to have a look?" Somehow, Xu Jingqing's heart was a little flustered.

"Ridiculous." Xu Heng's eyes widened, "It's just a imperial examination, it makes you rush like this, what will you do if you get to the officialdom?" "Alas......" Xu Jingqing sighed and found a chair next to him to sit down.

The sound of horses' hooves outside the door sounded, and Xu Jingqing, who was sitting upright, immediately stood up, with joy on his face. It's just that before the corners of his mouth opened, he heard the sound of gongs and drums outside, followed by a loud voice, "Congratulations to the third son of the He family on the thirteenth place in the second class of high school."

Next door? Xu Jingqing was stunned. He sat down a little dejected.

But as soon as the butt touched the chair, the sound of horses' hooves sounded at the door again, "Is Xu Jingqing, the son of the Xu family, here?" A loud voice shouted at the door.

"Yes."

Regardless of the other party's name, Xu Jingqing also rushed out, his family is very big, and there is no other way to become an official, but if you want to really reach the core of power, there is only the imperial examination.

Especially if you want to compete with Mo Qian, the imperial examination is the first step, and Xu Jingqing has to be nervous.

As soon as he went out, he saw a neat team of officers and soldiers, with serious faces, Xu Jingqing walked quickly in front of them, followed by a family member holding a silver ingot.

The officers and soldiers riding on the horses at the front glanced at the silver ingots and were expressionless, "Xu Jingqing, do you know what we are looking for you today?" ”

"Yes, yes." Xu Jingqing hurriedly said, Xu Jingqing hurriedly asked the family behind him to send the silver ingots to them.

"Now that you know what we're here for, what do you mean?" The official messenger on the horse asked suspiciously, why is the reputation of the official messenger so good now?

Everyone took the initiative to send money, but since he was an official, he had to have a glorious consciousness, so the official took his eyes off the silver ingot, and said, "But even if you are like this, I will not bend the law for personal gain, I am an official with professional ethics." ”

"I know, I know, it's a little meaning, it's not a respect, you guys start quickly!"

Xu Jingqing couldn't wait to listen to them report the good news, he must have taken some great rankings, otherwise how could there be so many people who usually come to report the good news, and his expression is so serious. The corner of the official's mouth twitched, the forest is really big, there are all kinds of birds, the world is in chaos, there are all kinds of birds, and I have never seen a prisoner begging for mercy with money before, but I have never seen a person who took money and let himself quickly raid his house......

"Okay, by the will of the Holy Lord, the Xu family will be raided, and all the people will be detained, waiting for the fate!" The leader almost waved his hand, and the people behind him rushed forward and grabbed Xu Heng and Xu Jingqing first.

"What are you doing?" Xu Heng glared at the other party angrily, and Xu Jingqing was already stunned, and he didn't react at all, didn't these people come to report good news to themselves, why are they facing each other in the blink of an eye now?

The leader sneered, "What are you doing?" Don't you know that you've committed a crime? Don't think about resisting, just follow us, maybe you can pick up a life. ”

"Humph!" Xu Heng squinted slightly, "Your Majesty was still discussing the state with me yesterday, how could you order someone to arrest me today, and when you villains fake your will, let me go quickly, otherwise you will have your head!" ”

Xu Heng was sure that Jiang Yang would not arrest him, not to mention anything else, there was already one less Huang Huaiqi in the Ministry of Officials before, and now things are supported by his years of experience, if he leaves himself, the Ministry of Officials will be just a mess.

I don't know how many things will be messed up, even if Jiang Yang wants to clean himself up in his heart, he can only think about it, he doesn't dare to do these things at all now, so these people must be his enemies and political enemies pretending!

"Dad, we'...... Is it because of that incident......" Xu Jingqing was a little flustered and asked in a low voice.

Xu Heng gritted his teeth and shouted, "Shut up." Xu Heng really wanted to slap this unlucky son to death.

The official approached Xu Heng with a hint of contempt, "The emperor is very kind to you, Lord Xu, but because you have done something amazing to impress the emperor?" ”

Xu Heng was stunned, this is true, he only received the emperor's attention after the Spring Festival, speaking of which, it is just because he became an examiner and has a status among many candidates, but in real terms, although an examiner is very important to the candidates, it is not the case for an emperor, whoever he assigns at will can have glory and wealth.

Seeing Xu Heng's expression, the official continued: "I'm afraid that Your Majesty is not only gracious to you at all, but also to the entire ministry, right?!" ”

"What do you mean......" Xu Heng raised his head, his eyes widened, and his face turned pale, because he thought of a terrible thing, and he was very kind to the entire minister......

"The cunning rabbit is dead, the lackeys are cooking, the birds are gone, and the good bow is hidden! Your Majesty, how can you bear it? ”

Xu Heng became extremely sad and angry, crying and shouting, as if he was a loyal and good man who was murdered by a traitorous minister, "I, Xu Heng, have been an official for 20 years, I have been conscientious, I dare not slack off, I remember the kindness of the emperor in my heart, and I am dedicated to serving the country, why does Your Majesty want to listen to the slanderous words of the villain to kill loyal ministers and hide good bows?!" ”

Xu Heng's facial expressions were extremely rich, and if people who didn't know him really thought that he was a good official for the country and the people, but the leading official shrugged his shoulders.

"Lord Xu, I think you may have misunderstood, go to your loyal dog and good bow, Your Majesty only said one word when we came......"

"What?" Xu Heng was stunned. "The donkey that has unloaded the mill...... It's easier to kill! ”
