In the inner hall of the Ministry of Industry, Ni Wenhuan, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, was full of sorrow, and said to Cui Chengxiu, a scholar: "Cui Butang, Xu Xianchun actually released Liu Duo, you can't help but ask about this?" ”

Cui Chengxiu frowned and didn't say a word. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info he had already learned about Liu Duo's release from his subordinates, and he was extremely angry in his heart, and it happened that Ni Wenhuan came to urge him again, which made him even more annoyed.

When Liu Duo was imprisoned, Ni Wenhuan just went his way and let him inform the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian. But now that Feng Quan has written a letter, Xu Xianchun has been forced to let go, which makes him put his face where to go.

Ni Wenhuan didn't seem to notice his anger, and continued: "This Xu Xianchun actually disregarded the meaning of the nine thousand years old and Cui Butang, it is really hateful, it is clear that he doesn't take Cui Butang in his eyes......"

"Enough!" Cui Chengxiu interrupted him with a loud shout and said, "It's no wonder that Xu Xianchun is in this matter, if it weren't for Feng Quan's sideways intervention, he wouldn't have the courage to let him go." ”

Ni Wenhuan nodded, and responded: "Yes, yes, what the ministry said is right, no wonder Xu Xianchun is in this matter, but because of the cabinet minister Feng Quan." After a pause, he added, "It's just that Feng Quan has opposed us three or four times, what does he want to do?" ”

Cui Chengxiu snorted and said angrily: "Feng Quan has been acting more and more arrogantly recently, and he inevitably doesn't take me Cui in his eyes too much." ”

Ni Wenhuan echoed: "What the ministry said is that Feng Quan relies on himself as the second assistant of the cabinet, and has the support of the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Gonggong, so he will do whatever he wants, hmph, although Wei Gonggong intends to promote him as the first assistant, he also intends to let Cui Butang enter the cabinet, he is really arrogant and unscrupulous when he behaves like this......

Cui Chengxiu sneered: "He just can't see me enter the cabinet and participate in politics, so he suppressed me three or four times." He really doesn't know how many pounds and taels he has, if I hadn't recommended him to Gonggong Wei at the beginning, he Feng Quan would be where he is today? It's good now, but after entering the cabinet, he has opposed me everywhere, do you really think that Gonggong Wei will not be able to do without him? ”

Ni Wenhuan nodded and said: "That is, who doesn't know that the most trusted person of Gonggong Wei is you Cui Butang, but all important matters will be discussed with you, just rely on him Feng Quan wants to cover the sky with one hand, and he will not see if he has the ability......"

Cui Chengxiu was angry for a while, but his heart gradually calmed down, and asked lightly: "Feng Quan came out for Liu Duo, do you know how much benefit he has received?" ”

Ni Wenhuan said: "This ...... According to the investigation of the lower officials, it seems that he received a lot of silver from the other party, no less than 300,000 taels. ”

"Good you Feng Quan, you are so greedy." Cui Chengxiu slapped his palm on the case, and his anger rose again.

Although he is a eunuch, he does not object to the sale of official positions, but he also has a bottom line for buying and selling officials and asking for bribes and money, and the last time he exonerated an official, he only received a mere 50,000 taels of silver from the other party, and now Feng Quan stretched out his hand to take 300,000 taels, several times more than him, which is simply greedy, breaking the rules set by him Cui.

Ni Wenhuan was also angry when he said this, and said: "Feng Quan is doing nonsense, completely messing up the rules of the court, you must know that you can't become a fat man by eating one bite, he is so dry and fishing, how can I live in the future?" ”

Although these words were said very bluntly and explicitly, Cui Chengxiu didn't blame him, and snorted coldly: "Where is Liu Duo now?" ”

Ni Wenhuan said: "This, it is estimated that it should be in Zhihua Temple." After he was sent to Beijing, his wife and little daughter followed all the way, and after arriving in Beijing, they settled in the Zhihua Temple in Dongcheng, and now that Liu Duo was released from prison, he should go to the Zhihua Temple to meet them. ”

Cui Chengxiu nodded and said coldly: "Since Feng Quan wants to save people, then let's see if he has the ability to save people from my hands." ”

Ni Wenhuan said happily: "How does the ministry plan to deal with it? ”

Cui Chengxiu said coldly: "Let's go to Beizhen Fusi to question Xu Xianchun in person, see how he answers?" ”

Ni Wenhuan nodded and said, "So good, so good." ”

Soon, Cui Chengxiu and Ni Wenhuan took a car to the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen and questioned Xu Xianchun in person.

Xu Xianchun naturally wouldn't take this matter, so he took out the cabinet documents for the two of them to see. Cui Chengxiu knew that he would prevaricate like this, so he carried Wei Zhongxian out and sharply questioned him if he didn't have a 9,000-year-old order, and he released the prisoner privately just by virtue of a letter.

Xu Xianchun sweated like pulp, he was really embarrassed, on the one hand, it was the old faction of the Wei Party led by Feng Quan, and on the other hand, it was the upstart force led by Cui Chengxiu, although he was also one of the five biao, but this matter was really not trivial, and it was not something that he could afford as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, so he frowned and said: "Master Cui, now that the people have been released, even if you get angry with me again, it will be useless!" ”

How could Cui Chengxiu not understand this reason, the reason why he was angry in front of Xu Xianchun was also to make him understand the importance of this matter, stared at Xu Xianchun for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "In this way, you quickly send someone to Zhihua Temple to lock Liu Duo again, and I will deal with it on the cabinet side." ”

What else can Xu Xianchun do, he can only say: "Okay, just follow the words of the ministry." ”

……

The shadow of the moon gradually moved south, and the moonlight passed through the old branches of the Zhihua Temple in Dongcheng and sprinkled on the square in front of the temple.

Liu Duo, who had just been entertained by Sun Yueling and Fang Yichen, was escorted here, and as soon as he entered the cave, he saw his beloved wife Xiao Shi and his little daughter Shuying standing on the side of the bronze turtle in front of the palace, both of them with expectant and worried looks.

As soon as they saw him step into the temple gate, the Xiao family exclaimed in surprise and both ran towards him quickly.

Liu Duo also grabbed it quickly, holding Xiao Shi with one hand and his beloved daughter with the other, and thousands of tastes came to his heart.

"Master...... " Xiao snorted and sobbed.

Liu Duo's heart ached, and he said, "Thank you for your hard work." Since he was escorted into Beijing by Tiqi, his wife and little daughter did not hesitate to come to Beijing in order to rescue him.

At this time, looking at Xiao's haggard look and a cloth dress and skirt, Liu Duo felt guilty in his heart. He had no real estate and no relatives and friends in Beijing, and he had not left any savings for many years as an official, and his wife and daughter had to live in this remote temple after entering Beijing, and they couldn't even afford to live in an inn restaurant.

As soon as he thought of this, Liu Duo burst into tears, gently stroked Xiao's face, and said, "I'm sorry for your ......."

"Sir!" Seeing him like this, Xiao Shi was even more emotionally moved, and said, "Master, don't say that, being able to serve the master in this life is my greatest blessing!" ”

Liu Duo turned his face and said to his beloved daughter Shuying: "Shuying, why are you here too?" ”

Liu Shuying raised her head and said: "I know that my father is innocent, he was framed by traitors in the court, my father is by no means what they say, my father is a good person, and he is a good official who stands up to the sky." ”

Liu Duo breathed a long sigh of relief and reached out to stroke Liu Shuying's head. There are women like this, even if they can't eat and dress in this life, it is enough to comfort their lives.

After the people who had sent him here left, Liu Duo took his wife and daughter into the grass room at the back of the monastery, talked with his wife and daughter, discussed some trivial matters of how to live in the future, and told them that his colleagues in the court and China had given him a large sum of silver, which was enough for them to spend for many years.

Xiao Shi was overjoyed when he heard this, and just as the three of them were curling up in the corner, looking forward to a better life in the future, they suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside the grass house, and even more voices came into their ears.

Xiao Shi was shocked and said to Liu Duo: "What's the matter?" ”

Liu Duo gently patted her on the shoulder and said, "I'll go out and have a look." ”

Before the words fell, there was a sudden "bang", and the wooden door of the grass house was kicked open, and several people rushed in, and the iron chains in their hands shone in the moonlight.

Liu Duo fixed his eyes and saw that these people were wearing flying fish suits, who were not Jinyi Tiqi. When his wife saw this group of wolf-like captains, she was so frightened that she couldn't speak.

He was astonished and pointed at them, "You ...... What do you do? ”

The first one smiled and said, "Lord Liu, I'm sorry, Xu Dudu asks you to go back and stay for a few more days!" ”

Liu Duo said angrily: "Are you ignoring the law and discipline and wronging good people, aren't you afraid that the cabinet will blame you?" When talking with Sun Yueling and Fang Yichen, he had learned that he was rescued from the edict because they had gone the way of Feng Quan and Wang Shaohui.

At the same time, Fang Yichen also instructed him not to reveal the true situation of his release from prison, let alone let people know that Sun Yueling had arrived in Beijing, and everything was caused by the secret operation of his Liu Duotuo. So at this time, in the face of these brocade clothes, he never mentioned Sun Yueling and others, but only asked them why they did not follow the will of the cabinet.

The brocade guard was obviously taken aback when he heard him mention the cabinet, and then said: "Lord Liu, I don't know if the cabinet is not a cabinet, but we must do it for him about the things that Governor Xu has explained, otherwise we will not be able to eat and walk around." Don't embarrass me anymore, and come with us, if there is someone in the cabinet to protect you, you will have to come out sooner or later, so go and relax now. ”

Liu Duo couldn't understand why Xu Xianchun rebelled, let himself out in the morning, and sent someone to get him in the evening. But in his heart, he faintly felt that something must have changed, otherwise Jinyiwei would not be like this.

Liu Shuying scolded at this group of horsemen, and shouted: "My father is an honest official, admired by all the people, and is a great good official, if you don't believe it, you can go to Yangzhou and Jiangnan to inquire." You evil dogs, framing and harming my father, sooner or later, it will not end well......"

The man's face changed when he heard this, and he looked at her viciously.

Liu Shuying was glared at by his fierce eyes, not only shuddered, but then became resolute again, and looked at him without avoidance.

Liu Duo was afraid that this person would not be good for his daughter, so he stood up in front of him and said to this person: "In this case, I will go back with you!" ”

"Master......" Xiao Shi cried out sadly, unexpectedly not long after their family was reunited, the husband had just been released from prison on the front foot, and there was a rider on the back foot to fetch people.

Liu Duo turned his face and said softly to her: "I'll go with them, don't worry, Madame, I'll be fine." ”
