The front line is fighting, and the household department has the important task of raising grain and straw, which is undoubtedly very busy, and the yamen is busy and chaotic, but the fourth master has no intention of paying attention to those official duties, and even specially ordered the commander of the guards who are waiting outside the office door, saying that he will not be a guest today, as for why, there is no explanation.

The fourth master doesn't work, it's not that he doesn't want to, but he can't do it, there is no side, the fourth master is very annoying, it's not an ordinary annoyance, the root cause, it's naturally out of Hongqing's body - it's the fourth day, Hongqing hasn't shown up in the household department, this is obviously not a good sign, the fourth master doesn't believe that Hongqing will really not move the household department, even if he has secretly ordered the nails in the military department to reveal the filth of the military department in his hands, trying to induce Hongqing to kill in the military department, but when it comes to the possibility, the fourth master is not sure at all, Thinking of this, the fourth master can't help but be a little upset, there is no other, although the fourth master is self-conscious and has no corruption within the handle for others to handle, but he can't stand the head of the people and other big and small mistakes, plus this time in order to squeeze out the silver two of the Ministry of Industry, the fourth master is a little bit of a move on the treasury report, although it is very hidden, but it may not be able to guarantee that it can hide the demonic Hongqing, plus there is still Zhao Shenqiao in the household who does not listen to greetings, the fourth master's heart is really difficult to settle down.

"Lord Yu, the king of Renjun has arrived outside the yamen!"

Just when the fourth master was pacing back and forth with a heavy heart, he saw that the commander of the guards waiting outside the office had already turned out from behind the screen in a hurry, and he rushed to the front of the fourth master in a few big strides, bowed, and hurriedly said a word.

"Oh? Check it out! ”

The fourth master was still thinking about when Hongqing would appear, this time he heard that he had actually arrived outside the yamen, his heart couldn't help but sink, and he subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but the words came to his mouth, but he held back stiffly, no side, Hongqing came with the holy decree in his hand, and he couldn't tolerate what the fourth master couldn't say, so he had no choice, so he could only frown, snorted lightly, flicked his big sleeves, and walked out of the office slowly, and walked towards the yamen unhurriedly.

"The little nephew has seen the fourth uncle."

As a messenger and a central minister, Hongqing didn't need to be polite, so he could lead people straight into the yazhong, but Hongqing didn't do this, but stood at the door of the yamen modestly, waiting silently, until he saw the fourth master turn out of the back hall, Hongqing took a few steps forward, and then stood reservedly, bowing very respectfully.

"Qing'er is here, be very polite to Uncle Wei, come, and talk inside."

The fourth master's qi cultivation kung fu is very good, and he has long cultivated to the point where his skin is as thick as a wall, even if he hates Hongqing in his heart, he can show incomparable affection, but seeing that he is about to go up, he politely stretched out his hand and shook it, and said with a smile.

"Fourth uncle, please first."

The fourth master's face is thick, Hongqing's face is not thin, and the etiquette on the big face is also very smooth, but when he saw his side, he gestured with a smile on his face, and said sincerely and authentically.

"yes, okay."

The fourth master didn't give in much, nodded approvingly, and after waving his hand, he immediately turned around and went inside, Hongqing saw this, and followed half a step behind, and the uncle and nephew walked to the back hall with a smile all the way, and the closeness was really quite the same thing, and no one could see that the relationship between the two was actually a great enemy of life and death.

"Qing'er, come, please have tea!"

The uncle and nephew sat down in the fourth master's office, and the palace guards who had their own attendants hurriedly served the freshly brewed fragrant tea, and then retreated, leaving only the uncle and nephew to sit alone.

"Fourth uncle, please."

The fourth master was not in a hurry to ask, and Hongqing would not be in a hurry to say what he wanted, he smiled calmly, compared a gesture of "please", and immediately picked up the teacup and tasted it slowly, as if he really came here to drink tea.

"How are Qing'er's messengers doing?"

Hongqing is smiling and sipping tea, the fourth master is quietly playing with the teacup, the uncle and nephew obviously do not plan to speak in a hurry, even if the room is strangely silent, a full stick of incense time has passed, the fourth master finally can't hold back and take the lead in breaking the silence, no way, Hongqing is now the initiative, if you want to say, you can say, if you don't want to say, don't say, but the fourth master is not this blessing, knowing that whoever speaks first at this moment will have to fall behind, but the confidence is insufficient, The fourth master could only reluctantly open his mouth and say a tentative word.

"Alas, it's tricky, so don't mention it."

It's okay that the fourth master didn't ask, but under this question, the smile on Hongqing's face disappeared immediately, replaced by a sad face, his brows wrinkled slightly, and he smiled bitterly with a sigh.

"Shall it not be? With Qing'er's ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, how can he be stumped by such trivial things, heh, Uncle Wei doesn't believe it. ”

Seeing Hongqing open his mouth, he was bitter, the fourth master not only did not let go, but he was more worried, no side, the fourth master has let people pass the corruption of the arsenal and the officials to the old thirteen, it is said that with such a breakthrough, Hongqing can take advantage of this to dig deeper, first, he can play a big trick in the military department, and second, he can also use this to fool the messenger in the past, and even if it is not good, he can also keep the part of the Ministry of Industry that should allocate two silver, which can definitely be regarded as a public and private penny, at least in the eyes of the fourth master, But now Hongqing is still complaining, obviously the taste is not right, how can the fourth master not worry about it, but the fourth master is deep in the city, but he never showed it, but squeezed out a smile that is better than crying and can't see where to go, shook his head, and questioned a sentence in a pretentious gesture.

"The fourth uncle said this, the little nephew can't afford it, alas, even the whole world can come, the little nephew is just an ordinary person, can have a small work, that is all thanks to the emperor Ma Fa Hongen, this time this time this messenger ......, alas, tricky, really tricky, but no matter how tricky, the little nephew has no place to shirk, so he can only do his best, no, find the fourth uncle for help."

Hongqing is a top master of acting, he will not be moved by the flattery of the fourth master, and it is impossible to tell him the truth, he sighed sadly, and after saying two things, he went around the head of the fourth master.

"Where did Qing'er start with this? It's very unclear for the uncle. ”

As soon as he heard Hongqing's words, the fourth master immediately had a sudden break in his heart, did he have the heart to change the topic, but Hongqing's pair of "thief eyes" were staring at him deadly, and in desperation, the fourth master could only pretend to be confused.

Load, you just load it, and look back to see how the master cleans you up!

Hongqing is a shrewd individual, how could he not understand what the fourth master is thinking, and secretly sneered in his heart, but his face is a sincere color, and he arched his hand towards the fourth master very respectfully, and said euphemistically: "So that the fourth uncle will know that the little nephew has sent a lot of manpower to tinker in the military department, but unfortunately the time is limited, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to make a big breakthrough for a while, the little nephew is grateful. ”

"Cooperation? I don't know how Qing'er plans to act in the household department? If you need to cooperate with your uncle, you might as well say it clearly. ”

Hearing that Hongqing really wanted to do something in the household, the anger in the fourth master's heart immediately surged up, did he have a heart attack, but Hongqing held the holy decree in his hand, and held the name of righteousness, it was really not something that the fourth master could refuse, even if he was angry in his heart, the fourth master could only endure it, raised his eyebrows, and asked in a light tone.

"Thank you for the generosity of the fourth uncle, hey, the little nephew actually doesn't have a big request, so to speak, the little nephew has accepted the will of the emperor, and must review the military expenditure, just check the military department, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with it, after all, you still have to get the household department to go through the motions, since the fourth uncle is willing to help the little nephew, then hurry up and not late, bother the fourth uncle to help the little nephew pass an order, at the end of the day, please all the officials above the palm seal Lang to the lobby to discuss, the little nephew can also arrange the inspection matters, do you think so?"

The fourth master's original intention of asking was just to explore Hongqing's tone, but in fact, there was no intention to cooperate, but Hongqing didn't care so much, and thanked the fourth master with a smile, and then made a sincere request, which was deliberately misinterpreting the fourth master's tentative words.

"Hmm......"

The fourth master really didn't expect Hongqing to misinterpret it so deliberately, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he couldn't say it? Hongqing is holding the holy decree in his hand, and he really wants to block it, in case Hongqing takes this opportunity to run to the old man to complain, his fourth master has to eat and hang, but do you want to say okay? The fourth master was really worried that Hongqing would play conspiracy in the household department, and in a dilemma, he hesitated for a long time and couldn't say why.

"Is there any difficulty in the fourth uncle?"

Seeing that the fourth master was suspected of deliberately delaying and pretending to be stupid, Hongqing didn't intend to follow his intentions, so he pressed with surprise on his face.

"It's too hurried at the end of the day, I'm afraid it's not easy to arrange for my uncle, why don't you wait for a day or two, and let me prepare for my uncle?"

Seeing that he couldn't stop it, the fourth master's eyelids jumped, and he planned to play a delaying strategy.

"The fourth uncle smiled, today is the fourth day of the little nephew's errand, and it really can't be delayed, however, the fourth uncle is in the way, and the little nephew is not easy to force, right? Well, the time for the discussion is set for tomorrow morning, so it should be done? ”

The fourth master's procrastination strategy is simply a pediatric trick, how could Hongqing be blinded, but he didn't rush too much, and he generously postponed the time for half a day.

"Well, it's okay, just do your best for your uncle."

Since Hongqing had already said such a thing, even if the fourth master was reluctant in his heart, he couldn't talk any more, so he could only reluctantly accept it......
