Pei Xu didn't want to believe that the so-called Yue family's secret affairs that Du Bailou asked from the suspect's mouth turned out to be these trivial matters, but what he was more eager to know at this time was what happened to his family that fell into the control of those Beiyan people. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Only then did he remember that Du Bailou and Yue Laoye's guard Yue Ying were old acquaintances, and they were once the worship of the Yu family in Jiangling, and he couldn't help but be even more angry, secretly thinking that this must be Du Bailou's intention to return to protect the Yue family.

Master Yu has always seemed to have a low sense of existence from before, until Du Bailou said about the Yue family, he saw that the emperor seemed to be a little disappointed, and the same was true of the little fat man and Li Chongming's uncle and nephew, so he smiled and said: "It seems that the older Xianggong is a model of officialdom, and even trivial things such as his son hiding private money will be reported to Jin Aqi." I don't know what kind of secret things those Beiyan people found out about Zhao Laogong? ”

Du Bailou saw Zhao Qingya smile slightly, obviously without any uneasiness, so he said with a straight face: "Someone has found out that there is a porter in the Zhao Mansion who accepts the door bags of foreign officials, and there are thousands of front and back. It's just that I happened to hear that Mrs. Zhao rectified the order in the house a while ago, and many domestic slaves who took bribes without permission were sold, and they also donated money to the good hall of the eldest princess of Dongyang in the name of the imperial court officials. ”

Zhao Qingya squinted his eyes slightly when he heard the first half of the words, but when he waited for the second half, he stretched out a whole slap with a smile, stretched out his five fingers and said: "The position of the porter, there is no hard work and hard work, so I allow the porter to collect a certain amount of hard-earned money, whether it is money or local products, it must not exceed two times a day." Since someone has passed, then it will naturally be punished! ”

When he said this, he sighed deeply and said: "Two times a day, and sixty times a month, which is a lot. ”

Seeing that Zhao Qingya also passed the test easily, Pei Xu only felt that the heart that had just mentioned his throat gradually relaxed, and then he laughed and said: "It seems that the Northern Yan treacherous plot may not be effective, our officials have their own ethics, and it is futile for them to investigate the smuggling." ”

Yue Qianqiu smiled and asked slowly: "Master Du, now only Pei Xiangye is left, who doesn't know that our Pei Xiangye has been clean and impartial since he came out, he shouldn't have any handle for people to catch, right?" ”

Knowing that Yue Qianqiu was deliberately saying beautiful things, Pei Xu couldn't help but snort coldly, with a face full of disdain: "The Pei family is a famous family with huge assets, so naturally there is no need to be like those who have never seen money, and only want to fill their pockets." ”

When he said this, Pei Xu felt relieved, but when he saw a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, he remembered that Zhao Qingya and Yue Taichang were all found to be "trivial" money problems. But he thought that the Pei family had been inherited for hundreds of years, and the family was a long-lived eunuch, so he comforted himself in his heart that there was no big mistake between the Zhao and Yue families, and he couldn't have it.

Du Bailou glanced at Master Yu, who had been in a good time, and saw that his face was relaxed, but his eyes revealed a distinct aggressiveness, thinking about the previous guests and hosts for many years, the Yu family was also good to himself, although he did not mean to deliberately rectify Pei Xu, but since he really found a case that he could not tolerate, whether it was for the sake of the Yu family, or the Yue family, or Pei Xu's annoying faction, it was impossible for him to let Pei Xu fool him casually.

Therefore, in the eyes of the expectant people, he said lightly: "Pei Xiangye himself may really be spotless, but the Pei family is not so clear. One of the guys I tried confessed that Pei Xiangye's younger brother took a fancy to a play, and after asking for it to no avail, he forced the owner of a drama troupe to death, and the rest of the people were framed and imprisoned in the name of theft, forcing the actor to sell himself into slavery. ”

If it weren't for Wu Renyuan's precedent, the Chief Arrest Department of the Criminal Department has set a rule that the minister must not be monitored over the years, and the head catchers are even more afraid of being reported for violating the ban, so they don't care about the minister's family affairs at all, this kind of thing would have been exposed a long time ago!

It's a cliché......

Yue Qianqiu sneered in his heart. Unless it is a person with clear ears and eyes and a clear heart like a mirror, like Old Lady Yue or Zhao Qingya, who is distracted and takes care of the family, and has deep prestige, then he can barely control the selfishness of those in the house, otherwise, how many people are really successful in the family of dignitaries? How many mediocre people can suppress the desires in their hearts?

"Nonsense, this is slander!" was poked in front of the emperor that his younger brother had done such an ugly thing, Pei Xu's face suddenly turned blue, but before he could continue to plead, he only heard a knock, but saw that it was the emperor who patted the handrail lightly.

"Whether it's true or not, I don't know, what's the use of shouting? If Jin Aqi, who was captured by Qianqiu Design this time, is really the confidant of Lou Yingchang, the deputy envoy of the Northern Yanqiu Hunting Division, then unless this Lou Yingchang is captured in one fell swoop, all of you should be prepared. What Du Qing just said was only three, if Lou Yingchang had planned for six years, they would probably find thirty, three hundred, or even three thousand! ”

Seeing that Pei Xu's face was really pale, Zhao Qingya and Old Lady Yue were also solemn, but Master Yu seemed to want to speak and stopped, the emperor waved his hand first, and then looked at Shen Zheng and said: "Shen Zheng, now that you have confessed your guilt, then I have to deal with you with national law." Wu Desi has neglected to observe this, I am responsible, and you are also to blame. ”

When Shen Zheng heard that the three prime ministers had also been severely checked, he knew that he had no luck, and at this time, his forehead was already firmly attached to the ground, and he said in a dry voice: "The minister confesses his guilt......"

His three very reluctant words had just come out of his mouth, but he only heard someone cough lightly suddenly. If it is in the court, this is definitely an act of dishonorability, but in such a discussion as the vertical arch hall, most of the records of the living house will be much more relaxed, but still not everyone can be so presumptuous. Even he could hardly resist turning his head to look at the coughing man at this time.

Because that's none other than Yue Qianqiu!

Before everyone else, the little fat man said angrily: "Yue Xiaojiu, you are not old, is your throat broken?" If you want to speak, just say, cough cough, where is this a bad habit! ”

Yue Qianqiu was brewing her emotions, but she didn't expect to be interrupted by the little fat man like this, and she suddenly became angry: "It was such a cold day last night, I was in a hurry and fighting, and after the fight, I had to clean up the aftermath to calm people's hearts, and my throat was already uncomfortable after a night, can't I cough twice?" ”

"Then you don't cough early or late, but you cough when Lord Shen confesses?" The little fat man felt that he was pitted by Yue Qianqiu last night, and he seemed to have lost the wine with Li Chongming, so he was naturally very dissatisfied, thinking that he and Yue Qianqiu were well-known rivals anyway, so he simply played tricks and said, "Lord Shen has already confessed, you should be generous, don't dwell on the past." ”

Shen Zheng didn't expect that His Royal Highness the King of England, who had always been obviously displeased with him, would defend himself, and after being stunned for a while, he couldn't help but regret a little because he wanted to avoid suspicion, and he never smiled at the little fat man and kept his distance. However, immediately after that, he ushered in something that made him even more unexpected.

"Who said I was going to hold on to the past? I want to say that Lord Shen is very wronged this time, if he bears all the blame, Beiyan should celebrate with his forehead, why! ”

Yue Qianqiu ignored Shen Zheng's unbelievable stiff face, and bowed deeply to the emperor: "Your Majesty, ministers have always been on the basis of facts, Xu Houcong and others from the Shengong Gate defected, but they pursued the elder disciples of the Shengong Gate who came to the capital to participate in the rebuilding of the martial arts record, and the minister felt that it was inappropriate; Now someone pretends to be a member of the Wude Division to do mischief, and Lord Shen has suffered it alone, and the minister also feels that it is inappropriate. ”

The next moment, he straightened up and said very seriously: "Jin Aqi's confession is difficult to ask, but a few people from Lord Du's confession are easy to ask, so simply ask Lord Shen to be responsible for it?" I'm afraid that the case files that Jin Aqi sorted out would have been sent to Lou Yingchang a long time ago, with Lord Shen taking the lead, he could pry out some more inside information from those people, and it should be easier to deal with this matter when he goes back to the imperial court. ”

"Regarding those court officials and private affairs, since Lou Yingchang is all in his hands, there will naturally be two uses. One is to use the handle as a coercion, forcing people to be their eyes and ears, or to say a few good words for Beiyan at a critical moment. On the other hand, maybe the Emperor of Beiyan will send a letter of state, in the name of beauty, to screen the virtuous and the unscrupulous for my dynasty? ”

Hearing the last sentence, there was silence in the arch hall for a while. Pei Xu, who just thought that Yue Qianqiu was pretending to be generous to intercede for Shen Zheng, felt as if a basin of ice water had been poured on his head, and the whole person was cold.

It is said that the Emperor of Northern Yan has always been a retributive character. Before Liu Jingxuan and Dai Jinglan returned to the south with four families, it is said that Emperor Beiyan cut off a lot of heads afterwards and it is still difficult to vent his anger, otherwise there would not be the same defection of Shengongmen. Although the situation that Yue Qianqiu said was the worst, I am afraid that the Northern Yan Emperor really did it!

And Shen Zheng also gasped. He also thought that Yue Qianqiu would change his temperament and intercede with him, it turned out that Yue Qianqiu was not kind at all, and handed over all the drudgery of screening information to him!

Otherwise, if the Emperor of Northern Yan really sent that kind of thing, even if the emperor could pretend to be generous and burn it, Anzhi Beiyan people would not keep a copy, and then hype it up that the imperial court was appeasing and nurturing traitors and shielding officials? If you want to prevent the Northern Yan people from taking the lead, the imperial court has to wield a knife by itself and cut off the tumors one by one.

But how many people will the one who wields the knife offend?

And Han Yu, who also woke up to this, only felt palpitations, and threw a grateful glimpse at Yue Qianqiu for a while.

Fortunately, otherwise, if he really wanted to take Shen Zheng's position for a while, how many people would he offend?
