This was a sudden event, and suddenly Chen Kuan, who had been the eunuch of the master of ceremonies for many years, found the hanged corpse before, and his head was rarely blank. However, at this moment, tremblingly kneeling in front of the emperor, the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of the expression on Li Rong's face, and the original faint doubt in his heart unconsciously turned into conviction.

People may really commit suicide, but whether they are afraid of sin or not, now only God knows.

However, Chen Kuan's thoughts would not reach Zhu Houzhao's heart, his face changed from surprise to surprise to final anger, it was just a sudden thing, and when Chen Kuan finally said the four words of suicide, he couldn't help but stand up, and angrily opened his mouth and scolded: "This bastard, he is innocent of death!" ”

At the same time that Zhu Houzhao stood up and cursed, Li Rong also knelt down next to Chen Kuan, and actually kowtowed three times in a row, and then said in a miserable voice: "The emperor is angry, and all the mistakes are that the slaves and maids are not strictly controlled, so that there is such a black sheep below!" I think that when Gonggong Xiao was there, the celebrant was like an iron bucket up and down, but now he has stabbed such a basket, and the slave and maid deserve death! The slave maid is already seventy and seven this year, and the heart is more than enough but the strength is insufficient, so I implore the emperor to let the slave and maid return to old age in the years when the slave and maid served you. ”

Seeing Li Rong's white-haired head slammed against the sturdy terrazzo floor tiles, Zhu Houzhao, who was originally furious, couldn't help but soften his heart a little again. When he was hesitating, Chen Kuan on the side also kowtowed twice, and then said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Gonggong Xiao is not here, Gonggong Li has not yet corrected his name after all, and there is no name to control the upper and lower levels, there are always people who are not convinced, and he can't be blamed for this matter." The slaves and maids are also the master of ceremonies, and they also have the name of negligence, so please punish the emperor. The slave was willing to resign. ”

Although Chen Kuan had never served Zhu Houzhao, when Emperor Hongzhi was there, he also told Zhu Houzhao that Chen Kuan was fair and could be reused, so at this time Chen Kuan also submitted his resignation, and Zhu Houzhao immediately hesitated. After thinking about it, he didn't come up with a perfect idea after all, so he couldn't help but sit down on the chair in annoyance, and blurted out: "One by one, I know that I will resign and pick a son, what do you let me do!" If such a big thing happens, just knowing what is the use of saying this, it is better to find out the matter first! ”

Speaking of this, that trace of pity finally prevailed, he gritted his teeth and said: "Since Xiao Companion has already resigned from illness, then give him ten people, every Chinese New Year's Eve Shi Lumi pension, this palm print matter Li Companion you take it first, but the first thing is to investigate this case to the ground, and you are not allowed to let one go!" There is also Chen Kuan, Li Companion is old, you are a few years younger after all, help him more! ”

"Thank you...... Thank you for your compassion, slave maid...... The slave maid is desperate, and she must take care of this matter thoroughly. ”

Although Cui Ju, who hanged himself, took everything on himself, with Chen Kuan's previous understanding of Zhu Houzhao, even if Li Rong and him resigned, he was full of thought that Zhu Houzhao would be furious, so as to turn the celebrant upside down, and he didn't know how many people would be dismissed. Therefore, when he found that the emperor was thundering and raining, he didn't mention the surprise in his heart, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath when he looked at Li Rong, who was choked with his hands tightly on the ground.

It's a good means to turn over the clouds after the rain, and the ginger is still old and spicy!

Liu Jin's current status in the palace comes from Zhu Houzhao's favor, so others are not in Chengqian Palace, but this is not trivial. He originally went to Xing'an Bo Mansion to discuss with Xu Xun with great interest, how to strike while the iron was hot to get the position of the eunuch in charge of the seal of the celebrant in his hands, but when he arrived at the place, he was empty, it turned out that Xu Xun actually went to the Dingguo Mansion. He couldn't wait, so the surname Suo went straight to the Dingguo Mansion, and it was easy to pull Xu Xun out, and before he could say a few words, the messenger from the palace rushed over, saying that Li Rong took advantage of his absence to ask to see the emperor. His surprise was not trivial, and he immediately put aside the discussion for the time being, and hurried to the palace, but when he arrived at Chengqianmen, he collided with Li Rong Chen Kuan and several attendants who came out of it.

Although he hated these old guys who were old and immortal and stole their positions, and he had been promoted to eunuch, Liu Jin didn't dare to leave it too much after all, so he had to avoid it and bow to the side. However, to his great surprise, Li Rong, who usually ignored him, suddenly stood up when he passed by his side this time.

"Grandpa Liu, is this coming back from outside?" Seeing that Liu Jin straightened up and answered, his eyes dripping, Li Rong sighed and said, "Before, you were ordered to go to the celebrant to track down Xu Xun's clips, and our family was blinded for a while, and I almost blamed you." Today, Cui Ju committed suicide with the Tang Dynasty and left a suicide note, and our family regretted it. Fortunately, the emperor was lenient and generous, not only forgiving the past, but also giving our family the palm seal of the master of ceremonies, which really made our family ashamed. Next, to inquire about this case, I have to ask Gonggong Liu to work together. ”

Cui Ju committed suicide in fear of crime? Doesn't this mean that Cui Ju memorized such a thing? Liu Jin was shocked and angry, but in an instant, he realized that what was important was not the life or death of such an insignificant guy, but that Li Rong didn't know what tricks he had played in front of the emperor, but he turned the situation around lightly and skillfully, and even snatched the palm print of the celebrant in his hand!

At this moment, if you use the words "thunderbolt on a sunny day" to describe Liu Jin's mood, it is not an exaggeration. Because of the bitterness in his heart, he really couldn't pretend to be respectful in front of Li Rong, and after holding back a sigh that he must do his best, he could only watch Li Rong and Chen Kuan go away together. stared at the back for a long time, and when he saw a chamberlain coming up quickly, he asked sharply without waiting for anyone to speak: "What did that old thing bewitch the emperor?" ”

"Father-in-law Liu, I really don't know...... the little one" The waiter replied with a sad face, and seeing Liu Jin's fierce face, he hurriedly explained, "As soon as Gonggong Li came, he said that he had something important to discuss with the emperor, and he blocked us out. The little one only saw that the entourage of Gonggong Li was holding a large stack of scrolls in his hand, like calligraphy and painting......"

"Fart, where did the emperor get so interested in calligraphy and painting!"

Moreover, even if the emperor likes calligraphy and painting, he will not abolish major events because of this, it must be Li Rong's other way to make trouble!

In this palace, even if Xu Xun doesn't inquire, someone will naturally come to report to him. That night, Zhang Yong came to visit, and vividly talked about Liu Jin, Li Rong and Chen Kuan on the opposite side of the Chengqian Gate, and only then sighed and said at the end: "I really didn't expect that this originally one-sided situation could be brought back so easily by Gonggong Li, I really can't underestimate these old men." The emperor seemed a little embarrassed to see Lao Liu, and personally agreed to enter his inner eunuch. But even so, Lao Liu was still angry, and he was probably pulling Grandpa Gao to drink stuffy wine at this moment. ”

Xu Xun didn't have much frustration about failing to bring down Li Rong but letting him take advantage of the situation. His previous twist was not only designed to frame Li Rong, but it was because of Xiao Jing's coincidence that he took advantage of the situation and gave it a try. At this moment, he thought for a moment and asked, "Lao Zhang, can you find out what Gonggong Li said to the emperor?" ”

"It's just that I found out, and I said that you can't underestimate these old men!" Zhang Yong slapped his thigh hard, and suddenly raised his voice and said, "Do you know what Gonggong Li used to impress the emperor?" He actually cut into the matter after the election of the emperor, and the emperor was naturally happy, and then he used the old things to speak...... He is the one who brought the emperor from a young age, don't look at him back then, he was already in his sixties, and once let the emperor ride on his neck to swim through the imperial garden and climb Banzai Mountain, if you really want to talk about love, we all have to stand aside. Now that the emperor has aroused these old feelings, he will not be able to move him for a while. ”

Seeing that Zhang Yong directly said for a while, instead of for a long time, Xu Xun couldn't help but smile, but he was sure in his heart. This thing is no better than others, and if you want to use it as a shield, it will of course be used once less than once, and you can't always be smart every time. What's more, with Liu Jin, the younger generation who regard Zhu Houzhao as their biggest backer, even if Li Rong continues to control the celebrant and supervisor, it is uncertain how many years he can stay.

After Zhang Yong said this, seeing Xu Xun drinking tea with a calm smile, he couldn't help but ask: "I said Brother Xu, this time Lao Gu slipped away, you persuaded me before that I wouldn't touch my hands without touching my hands, but how did I plan such a scene?" You know, you offended Li Rong to death this time. ”

"Hengzhi Lao Liu also saw that he was not pleasing to the eye and wanted to pull him down, so I just pushed him down. Who made him too selfish? He used to count on me many times, and he didn't come and go. ”

Xu Xun replied with these two sentences, but he was very satisfied. Those who have offended the dead a long time ago don't care about one more time. With the same hatred and hatred this time, Liu Jin naturally regarded him as his own person even more, isn't this very cost-effective? Besides, Jiao Fang used to wear a pair of pants with Li Rong, but now he voted for Liu Jin, and Liu Jin's good situation was once overturned by Li Rong, and if he wants to be anxious, Jiao Fang should worry about it, what headache does he have?

Zhang Yong saw Xu Xun's refreshing answer, and couldn't help but admire Xu Xun's righteousness in his heart - he took Zhang Yong out but fell into it, and he didn't seem to be resentful because of the fight now, where to find such a righteous person? Thinking about it, he suddenly remembered a piece of news that had just arrived, and immediately hurriedly said it.

"By the way, a few years ago, when the turmoil of the Tatar annihilation was the largest, a small flag called Jiangshanfei was missing in the West Factory, and I didn't care about it at that time, but today I met a hundred households in the West Factory, and he revealed that he was ordered by Lao Gu and Zhong Hui to track down the matter of Jiangshan Fei, and actually said that he had been a Jiangyang thief for a few years after the West Factory was dispersed, and then somehow he was subdued by Min Jue, who was still the imperial history of the capital, and then led the half of the Criminal Department, so it is suspected that this person has been in the West Factory for more than half a year and leaked a lot of news. It is said that this person is good at coming and going, and now Min Shangshu of the Criminal Department is also looking for people everywhere. At the same time, there is no news under the investigation of the Criminal Department and Xichang, and this person has some skills. And he is hunchbacked, one shoulder is high and the other shoulder is low, and the reasoning is the best to check. ”
