For the Empress Dowager Zhang of Shouning, who had intended to match herself, Xu Xun had only met once in the Marquis of Shouning's mansion, and her only impression was that she was a little clever, but her surname was arrogant. Therefore, the little emperor asked the eldest lady to choose Ruyi Langjun by herself, which really made him breathe a sigh of relief. At this moment, when he heard Zhang Jingxuan open his mouth and say that Zhang Heling was wrongfully framed, his face couldn't help but feel a little strange.

If you don't know, you can't do it unless you do. This matter will be poked out so quickly, it is he who ordered someone to intentionally expose it to Li Mengyang, and Li Mengyang has won the trust of the Hubu Shangshu Hanwen, plus the military quartermaster was originally the transfer of silver taels by the Hubu, and the cannon battle that exploded at one point exploded together, and Zhang Heling, who originally wanted to cover the lid, was directly uncovered in three moments.

In all fairness, Zhang Heling originally took over this military supply, and he had the idea of shoddy, and the price negotiated with other merchants for 150,000 cotton robes was only 50,000 taels of silver, but when he was transferred to the barracks, it was a full 150,000 taels, and he got 100,000 taels of silver as soon as he entered and exited. Zhang Heling just didn't expect that what he bought was just inferior goods, and what others really wanted to give him was so bad that he couldn't use it at all, and he could barely say that he was framed and could get by - after all, if he hadn't been instructed behind his back, which wouldn't have dared to collude with the Hou Mansion and be the uncle of the dynasty like this?

Therefore, seeing Zhang Jingxuan's natural appearance, he smiled slightly, and then looked at Mrs. Shouninghou who was full of nervousness and said: "Military supplies are very important, and the emperor is naturally very angry, and this is the first time that the emperor has handed over a major matter to Shouninghou, but he has poked such a big leak, and it is not enough to calm down those discussions in the court if he does not investigate thoroughly." Even the queen mother is not good at protecting her brother in such a major event, so she will not see her illness under the pretext of illness. Therefore, please let the lady and the eldest lady be restless. ”

"It can't be!" Although Zhang Jingxuan knows that her father is lustful, arrogant and short-tempered, she can be a child, except for a small number of ruthless people who can kill their relatives in righteousness, most of them are elbows turned in. Therefore, after screaming without thinking, she shouted angrily, "I want to enter the palace to ask the emperor!" ”

Seeing that Zhang Jingxuan strode outside regardless of it, and suddenly the outside world became a mess, Xu Xun saw that Mrs. Shouninghou was obviously in chaos, and even forgot to stop people, so he coughed lightly and said: "Madam, this matter of Shouninghou is bigger than the sky, but it is not really unclear, as long as the people who handle this matter, as well as the merchants who handle this batch of cotton robes, it will be much easier to clear this matter." When my father and son first arrived in the capital, the Hou Ye used to take care of them, and I will definitely try to find out a clear picture of this matter, please rest assured. ”

Just now, a heart fell to the bottom, but as soon as Xu Xun's words came out at this moment, Mrs. Shouninghou suddenly felt refreshed, and even forgot all the noise of her daughter outside. She stood up relentlessly, stared at Xu Xun with dead eyes and asked, "Uncle Pingbei, are you serious?" ”

"Naturally, take it seriously. I think if it weren't for the support of Master Hou, my father and son would not have gained a foothold in the capital so easily. I have never had a chance to repay this great favor, and now that the Hou Mansion has encountered this kind of thing, I am naturally duty-bound. ”

Her husband's own sister didn't see her because of her illness, and her younger brother even left it alone, and Xu Xun, an outsider, agreed to take this matter down so sincerely, Mrs. Shouninghou only felt deeply touched in her heart, and almost regarded people as saviors at this moment. Therefore, when Xu Xun asked her to still be miserable to the outside world, not to show the clues, she agreed without thinking. When Xu Xun got up to say goodbye, she suddenly remembered her daughter who had just run out impulsively.

"Uncle Pingbei, please stay for the time being, then my Jingxuan ......"

"If the eldest lady makes a fuss, others will think that the Shouning Marquis Mansion is in chaos and has lost the sacred heart, which is not without benefit." When Xu Xun said this, seeing that Mrs. Shouninghou's face was a little calm, he smiled again, "Besides, the emperor and the eldest lady have a deep relationship between brothers and sisters, and they just gave a good family affair before, and now they definitely won't blame the eldest lady for saving her father." ”

"I hope so......"

Mrs. Shou Ninghou nodded with a smile, and personally sent Xu Xun out of the second gate. After waiting for the people to get on the horse, they quickly disappeared around the corner with their entourage, and learned from Qian's mother on the side that Zhang Jingxuan had indeed prepared a car to enter the palace, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and squeezed her forehead a few times with the back of her hand with her right hand.

"Madam, please relax, the eldest lady and the emperor have often met since childhood, maybe there will be a turnaround in this trip to the palace......"

"What a turnaround...... This frizzy girl is still like this when she gets married! ”

Mrs. Shou Ninghou shook her head and sighed, remembering the way Xu Xun sat in front of her and talked eloquently just now, and suddenly a deeper regret surged in her heart. Even if Xu Xun is not knighted this time, just by virtue of the name of a son of Xing'an, her daughter will never suffer a loss if she marries - she has seen the boy of the Zhao family once, he is handsome, and it is said that he is also quite good at martial arts, but when the family encounters such a crisis, what is the use of that appearance and martial arts, it can't help at all!

And when this side of the carriage came out of the Shouning Marquis Mansion, Xu Xun looked back at the three gold-lacquered beast-faced tin ring gates, and swept around, and then galloped away with a few people. As soon as he left, a figure flashed out of a corner, stared at his back for a moment, and then slipped away. Xu Xun didn't stay outside, but went straight to Xi'an Gate, and when he arrived at the Xiyuan University campus, he saw that Qian Ning was practicing the avant-garde of the five hundred government army selected this time, he stopped and watched for a while, and then a little eunuch came to his side and said, he followed the guidance of people and walked along the Taiye Pond for a stone's throw, and saw Gu Dayong greet him.

"Brother Xu, how did you run this trip to the Marquis of Shouning? There are countless sentries chasing after the buttocks, this is not a pleasant feeling, right? ”

"I know that I am following people behind, but I can only leave it alone, Lao Gu, do you say it tastes good?"

Hearing Xu Xun's rhetorical question, Gu Dayong couldn't help but spread his hands helplessly and said: "I didn't expect that the spies in Dongchang are almost comparable to Jinyiwei, and they dare to stare at you so blatantly...... Having said that, do you think this matter is really Li Rong Wang Yue who is bold enough to dare to calculate Shou Ninghou behind his back? ”

"It doesn't matter if they did it or not...... All I know is that I want him to die while he's sick! ”

Xu Xun has always been a person who seizes every opportunity. Before, he also took advantage of an opportunity to send to the door, he successfully kicked out Min Jue, the secretary of the Criminal Department, transferred Jiao Fang from the Ministry of Officials to the Ministry of Justice, and made room for Ma Wensheng and Zhang Cai in the Ministry of Officials - although the latter is not likely to be a waiter on this, but with Ma Wensheng's importance to Zhang Cai, it is conceivable that he has laid a good foundation for him in the Ministry of Officials. And even if it's just for this, he is even willing to leave the old Long Zhong and his somewhat unhappy Ma Wensheng in the ministry. And this time, in order to create this opportunity now, he even hid Gu Dayong, and only made this one with Huitong, just in case.

"Okay, happy!"

What Gu Dayong hates the most are those hypocrites who are behind their backs, but they are still dignified and refuse to admit it in person, so Xu Xun's cool attitude naturally has a great appetite for him. beckoned Xu Xun to sit down on both sides of the stone table, and he personally poured Xu Xun a cup of tea, and then said in a low voice: "I have already found out about that Zheng San from the Hou Mansion of Shouning, and he is in Dongchang." ”

"Sure enough, in the East Factory?" Xu Xun raised his eyebrows, and then he laughed, "No wonder you think that Li Rong and Wang Yue designed this one, but I didn't expect that even people were in their hands." ”

If Zheng San wanted to take it, he would have taken it a long time ago, and sure enough, Dongchang was like a treasure.

"Who knows!" Gu Dayong shrugged his shoulders, and only a few points of difficulty appeared on his face, "If it were another place, it was the Longtan Tiger's Den, and I could also fish people out, but if it was Dongchang, I really couldn't do it." That place is Wang Yue's old nest that has been operated for many years, and I don't belong to him, and I, the commander of the West Factory, am not the person who is the celebrant of ceremonies, so I can't help him at all. Unless you're willing to take the people of the government army to storm ......"

Xu Xun was startled when he heard this, and immediately pouted angrily and said, "Then you might as well let me rebel!" ”

"Didn't I mean that?" Gu Da frowned for a while, and sighed again, "Speaking of which, this year is really eventful, and there are endless things. After Jiao Fang took office, he acted vigorously and resolutely, and immediately killed Zheng Wang's people, but because of this, some people accused the Criminal Department of abusing the punishment, and even a few stunned officials were talking about the old things of Zhang Yu and Liu Wentai who were executed before, saying that the first emperor was murdered......"

Although Gu Dayong just complained casually, the speaker had no intention of listening to the heart, and Xu Xun only felt a chuckle in his heart. He almost subconsciously approached Gu Dayong, and then said in a low voice: "Lao Gu, you said that if Shou Ninghou is detained in the palace for a long time and does not come out this time, will anyone want to take the opportunity to make a fuss about the relationship between the emperor and his mother's uncle's family, take the opportunity to bring up the old things again, and make a fuss about the emperor's life experience?" ”

Gu Dayong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then stood up suddenly, paced back and forth next to the stone table for several steps, and only stopped suddenly after a while, his brows had already twisted into a big pimple: "Speaking of which, the emperor is just close to the queen mother, and he has always been mediocre to the two uncles of Shouning Hou and Jianchang Hou. If it weren't for the sake of military face, the emperor said before that he should let Shou Ninghou suffer a little, so as not to lose his face if the children of the Zhang family are more than one another...... You mean, take this opportunity to ......"

"The emperor has been haunted by Zheng Wang's case before, but unfortunately all the clues have been broken, and he can't find out what happened. Now that Shou Ninghou is in trouble, why don't you take this opportunity to lure the snake out of the hole? ”

Xu Xun remembered the idea he had made up his mind before, stood up and came to Gu Dayong's side, lowered his voice and whispered a few words to him. After a moment's effort, Gu Dayong exclaimed: "This move...... Wouldn't this move be too ruthless? ”

"Now, to prove whether someone is fanning the flames, we should take the initiative to pour a scoop of oil on the fire that is burning!"
