The belly of the fish was slightly dewed in the east, and the sound of abacus sounded all night. Finally stopped when the rooster crowed for the first time

come

Silence didn't know when he fell asleep. When the rhythmic sound of the beads stopped, he suddenly woke up and saw that he was lying on the bed in the inner room with his shoes off, still covered with a quilt. He rubbed his eyes, saw the back of Ruohan outside through the beaded curtain, and was talking to the women who were settling accounts

Yes.

Shen Mo understood seven or eight points in his heart, and he was tired last night. Ruohan coaxed him and said that she had learned a method of head massage that could refresh her mind and clear her mind. Don't get sleepy all night. Shen Mo was overjoyed when he heard this. lay down and let Ruohan behave, but who knew that she was gently pinched on her head, and she quickly fell asleep sweetly.

Thinking about the cause and effect, a burst of warmth rose in Shen Mo's heart, and his face was also hot, and he said secretly, "Obviously I am the master, but I have become the only one who sleeps." Hearing that it was almost over outside, I was afraid of being laughed at by those women, so I continued to pretend that I couldn't sleep.

In the outer room, Ruohan whispered to the ten women who had been busy all night and looked tired, "It's hard work." Tonight is not your share of the errand, go to Shen An later, each person will withdraw ten taels of silver from the internal account, and I will give you a day off, and have a good rest Although the women are extremely well paid, a salary of twenty taels per month. Now that I can get half a month's reward, of course, I am very happy, so I whispered thanks and went out happily.

When the women all went out, Ruohan tidied up the stack of papers on the table and held it in her hand, "Xin opened the curtain, and saw that Shen Mo was still asleep, but the quilt was kicked aside, so she went over lightly, bent down and wanted to cover Shen Mo. Who knew that he opened his eyes and smiled at himself, but before he could react, Ruohan was pulled down to his chest by him. Hold tightly in your arms.

Ruohan was embarrassed for a while, but heard him say softly in his ear, "Thank you, I'm tired after a busy night, Ruohan can't stand this kind of casual sweet words, and his hands and feet are weak, and he just wants to be close to him." Of course, before closing her eyes and enjoying this hurried warmth, she still looked at the door outside with her spare eyes and saw that it was closed. That's when I was relieved.

The sweet time is fast, and in the blink of an eye, the rooster crows three times, Ruohan is afraid that he will delay his business, so he gets up from him with great perseverance, and says, "The master gets up and freshens up, and has to go into the palace for some breakfast."

Silent but not in a hurry, he clasped his hands behind his head and said with a smile, "So, the problem of being a husband has been solved by Madame?" ”

"The eldest lord's orders, dare to neglect the concubine?" Ruohan chuckled, sent the stack of papers to Shen Mo and said, "All the discrepancies and discrepancies have been ascertained, you really have to ask those people." If you move all the money from the court to your own home, aren't you afraid of retribution?! ”

Shen Mo took the stack of papers, read it carefully, and after a while, his face became very serious, and after reading it, he said to Ruohan Chang with a sigh of relief, "With this thing, you can send Yan Dang to step down." ”

111111, 111111, 1111111, 111111, 1111111, heart 11, 1111, 1111, heart 1111, heart 1111, heart 1111, heart 11

The Jiajing Dynasty was a general affair without a dynasty. It is all the kings and ministers who communicate in writing through edicts and recitals, and only encounter some of the most important things. Or when it is necessary to communicate in person, the ministers can come to Xiyuan to ask to see the emperor. But Jiajing is very idle, seeing at most three or five every day, and the minister, sometimes he is unhappy, and he may not see any of them. Therefore, the ministers who want to do things will come to the palace gate early before the door opens in the West Garden, and wait in the low and simple duty room. In order to occupy a good position.

Tu Li came a little late, and when he entered the duty room, there were already three or four ministers sitting inside, and everyone knew his holy purpose, so they knocked on the side to test his tone, wanting to know the case of Xiao Ge Lao. How it ended up was to be expressed when facing the saint.

But Tu Li's mouth was very tight, and he refused to reveal a useful sentence, which made several adults itch and want to know what was going on. At this moment, a smiling silence also came.

Tu Li was very surprised by his appearance, and said, "Lord Shen, what are you doing here?"

Shen silently saluted him and said, "Tu Gong is really a noble man who forgets things, have you forgotten that we made an appointment to meet the saint together today?" ”

Tu Li was a little confused and said, "We made an appointment?" ”

Of course, he smiled silently: "Am I still going to spread rumors?" ”

When encountering this kind of scoundrel, Tu Li can still say anything. In order to maintain the demeanor of a high-ranking official, he had to keep silent.

Tu Li's silence was in the eyes of others. It was acquiescence, so he surrounded the silence again. They asked him one after another, "Lord Shen, let me reveal, this time Xiaoge is always fierce or auspicious?" ”

Shen Mo shook his head and said, "I don't know who Ran Lao is."

Everyone said, "Oh, it's hypocritical," but it's better to say it than not to say it, so they explained, "It's the Ministry of Justice, right?" ”

Knowing that Shen Mo nodded, glanced at Tu Lidao, "What Tu Gong said shall prevail." ”

"Hey, everyone cheered and said, "Master Tu is Xu Shu entering the barracks, not a word." We just asked you. ”

Since Master Tu didn't say anything, he apologized to everyone silently and smiled: "Then I can't say it clearly." Let's just hit a sharp machine, seven. Words, clouds in the blue sky, water in the bottle" how to understand is your business. None of them have anything to do with the lower officials. ”

When everyone heard this, they thought for a while, and they all said, "It seems that Xiaoge is always safe and sound, so he looked at Tu Lidao, "No."

Tu Li had to say something now, and he glanced at Shen Mo with some displeasure, and the clue was right.

For a time, two ministers belonging to the Yan Party. All of them showed joy on their faces, and the remaining one was Xu Dang, who asked Shen Mo with some frustration, "What about Gao Yinglong?" He's from Bingchenke. "In other words, how can you betray the same year in order to tie up with Yan Shifan? Aren't you afraid that the world will laugh at you?

"I've said it all, the clouds are in the blue sky, the water is in the bottle," Shen Mo said lightly, "Do you think he will be fine?" ”

"Is he okay?" Now everyone is confused, impeachment is not a house, but a political struggle to the death, since Yan Shifan is fine. Of course, the Ministry of Yinglong, who impeached him, should be unlucky.

Silent smiled: "The clouds are in the blue sky, the water is in the bottle, how can it be okay?" A few people still didn't understand and wanted to ask again, but they were silent but didn't answer.

When the hour came, the ministers began to meet in turn, and when the conversation ended, they fell silent in the room. After a while, there were only two people left in the duty room, Shen Mo and Tu Li, and Tu Li said angrily, "Lord Shen, you are a little arrogant."

"I don't know what the lord means." Shen Mo smiled and said, "Did I say something that shouldn't have been said?" ”

"Why did you tell them the results in advance?" Tu Li said angrily: "The purpose of their inquiry." I just want to show myself to the emperor. If we say good things about the old people, the emperor will definitely blame us for not being strict-mouthed! ”

"No, it won't." Shen Mo smiled affirmatively.

"What do you mean by the clouds in the blue sky and the water in the bottle?" Tu Li asked, saying that I would sue the emperor later.

"Yun is Yun Qing, Gao Yinglong's word." Shen Mo didn't sell anything to him, and said lightly: "Evil Ying Long Qingyun goes straight up." The man he impeached. It's like rain falling from the clouds and being locked in a bottle. ”

Tu Li understood this time, and lost his demeanor and said, "Didn't we say it, everything is unsubstantiated, and it is really a false accusation by the Ministry of Yinglong?" When the case was concluded yesterday, didn't you have no objections?! ”

"I didn't have it last night, it doesn't mean I didn't last night," said silently, "I reorganized the relevant account books last night." I really don't know if I don't check, and I'm shocked when I check it. I really caught a few big bugs! ”

Tu Li's face changed in an instant, and he stared at Shen Mo in disbelief and said, "Don't treat me as a three-year-old doll, so many accounts, how can you sort them out overnight?" ”

"Although due to time constraints, I have not found out the flow of all the funds, but at least the ins and outs of the 800,000 taels of silver, I have figured it out, and now I will briefly record it and recite it for Tu Gong." Silently speaking, he took out a piece of paper and read aloud: "In March of the 38th year of Jiajing, Yan Shifan approved 50,000 taels of project money, which was remitted to Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province in the name of purchasing official porcelain, through the Japanese Yichang Qianzhuang, and then within a year, he remitted money to Jiangxi in three installments in the same name, totaling 150,000 taels; By the time of completion, the Ministry of Engineering had only received one batch. The price of Jingdezhen official porcelain is 50,000 taels, but on the settlement account book of the Ministry of Industry, it is marked that the payment is clear. Write off the balance of 150,000 taels! ”

Take a look at Tu Li, whose face has turned pale. Shen Mo continued to read: "Jiajing thirty-seven years in February. The Ministry of Industry allocated 500,000 taels to make the Yunnan political envoy to purchase all kinds of precious timber, and when the project was completed, the Yunnan political envoy sent a total of 250,000 taels of various timber to the capital, and through the civil sea, military ship escort, arrived in the capital, paid 50,000 taels to the maritime merchants and Fujian and Guangzhou sailors, and the balance of 300,000 taels was transferred to Nanchang Japan, and the payee was Yan Shifeng, Yan Ge's cousin! ”

If the previous one only made Tu Li sit still, then this one made him almost faint. Because it directly proves that Tu Lihuai's "shipbuilding costs are quite extraordinary." There is no longer a foothold. Seeing that Shen Mo was still going to read, he finally couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted in a hissed voice, "Don't read it!" ”

On his silent face, there was still a warm smile that had not changed for thousands of years, and when he heard the words, he stopped his voice and looked at Tu Li quietly.

The two looked at each other for a long time, but one of them looked calm like water, and the other was full of fear and hesitation. Finally, the cowardly man couldn't hold it anymore, and his face was full of pleading. He whispered, "Lord Shen, you can't burn all the jade." ”

"Who is the jade and who is the stone?" Said silently.

"Of course you're jade, and those people are stones." Tu Li sweated profusely and said, "Everyone knows it, you can explain the 800,000 taels clearly, and they can also explain the other 700,000 taels, if you make a big fuss, they will definitely poke the matter out, of course they will be unlucky, but where is the face in the palace?" At that time, the emperor was furious, how can you and I have good fruit to eat? ”

"Tu Gong's words, I can't agree with you!" I don't know when, Shen Mo changed into an upright face, and said to Tu Li with righteous words, "Kong said Chengren, Meng said to take righteousness, the sage taught us to be righteous men and gentlemen, how can we violate our own personality and damage the interests of the country because of personal misfortune and blessing?!" ”

Tu Lixin said, "I really don't see it, this is still a hot-blooded young man." Last year in Xuanfu City. He had learned the strength of the silent two-pole, but he didn't expect to be given two by him again this time.

Is silence really two? Of course not, but he found a way to deal with the scoundrel, and that is to be more two than him!

Didn't you Yan Shifan find out that the emperor couldn't afford to lose face, so the old man forbearance wanted to blackmail Yousi and dare to shake out my ugly things, so I let the emperor not be able to make the sauce a scoundrel in the market, but it was very effective, so that all the high-level wisdom was ineffective.

To deal with this kind of scoundrel, you can only be more scoundrel than him, but this method is a taboo in officialdom and will be spurned.

The gang of Yan Dang are barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes. is already discredited, of course I don't care about being spurned again, but the officials who tried the case can't stand it, how dare they fight poison with poison?

After a night of silent meditation, I finally remembered that there is another kind of person who can cure scoundrels, that is, a direct minister and counselor who has the spirit of not giving up until the goal is reached. In fact, these people are essentially similar to scoundrels, but they occupy the height of morality, and scoundrels have become indomitable and indomitable! As long as I believe in something, I will stick to it and die without looking back!

If you don't give in, you don't look back, you have to compare who is harder and who is more two.

Silence, of course, does not have the spirit of looking at death as home. But it doesn't prevent him from pretending to be a Danxin Zhichen, showing his hardness, and comparing with Yan Dang who can hold it better. Of course, he can hold it up better. Because for him, it will only anger the emperor and not violate the law, so the worst result is only to be dismissed and return to his hometown, which will not affect his wife, let alone ruin his reputation. Opposite. He will also gain great prestige and live in the admiration of the people from now on.

But the Yan Party can't bear the consequences, they will be in the emperor's anger, they will be scolded by the rod to go to prison, raid the house and kill the head, and even harm the relatives and friends of the children and grandchildren" This is not unfounded, Zhao Wenhua is dead, the family property has been confiscated, and the emperor also ordered his son to continue to compensate, and it will never be finished if he does not pay it off.

And what's even more terrifying is that the wall is pushed by everyone. The bad things you have done in the past will inevitably be liquidated, and it will really be a catastrophe.

Through one, Shen Mo skillfully transposed the opponent of the Yan Party's game from the emperor to himself. Let Yan Dang suddenly change from a coercion to a coerced person, and he will never dare to follow him!

Soon, Tu Li also figured out the Tao inside, knowing that Yan Dang could certainly blackmail the emperor, but there was absolutely no way to blackmail Shen Mo, if Shen Mo really wanted to bring things to the light, then the heaviest losses would be themselves.

He looked at Shen Mo fixedly, and said quietly, "Lord Shen doesn't look like that kind of muddy person, right?" ”

"If you are worthy of your conscience, you are a bad person?" Shen Mo sneered: "Then I'd rather muddy it all the way!" ”

"Are you really going to be desperate? Tu Li said with difficulty, "You are the sixth and first, less than thirty years old, and you have an infinitely bright future."

Needless to say, he raised his hand silently. Interrupted him, "No matter how beautiful the future is, it can't compare to the beauty of the soul!" After saying this, he was about to vomit. The heart said, "Why am I so disgusting?"

But Tu Li on the other side was about to cry, it was almost like a plea there, if someone didn't come in at any time, he had to kneel down silently. Silent but with a straight face, he didn't react at all.

At this moment, an inner supervisor came in and said meaninglessly, "Two adults, it's your turn." ”

Shen Mo smiled at Tu Li and said, "Tu Gong." Please. ”

Tu Li sat there motionless, his complexion changed several times, and finally he gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and hugged his stomach, "Oops." screamed. Frightened, the little eunuch hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and said with concern, "What's wrong with you?"

"It may be that I have a bad stomach in the morning, and it hurts." Tu Li said, while peeking at Shen Mo and said, "I really can't hold on, I have to go back, I bother my father-in-law to sue the palace, I will go back and ask for guilt!" ”

"That is done, that is done" The little eunuch naturally agreed, although this kind of thing is rare, but it is not impossible, you can't let the minister pull a pair of pants when he faces the saint, right?

With the permission of the eunuch, Tu Li said to Shen Mo with a pleading face, "Lord Shen is really not going to do it today, let's come back tomorrow." ”

Shen Mo sneered in his heart, knowing that he wanted to escape this catastrophe with. Then go to Yan Shifan, He Bin and others to ask for advice. But today, he was silent and deliberately caught off guard, of course he couldn't let him go, he had to strike while the iron was hot, and it wouldn't work overnight! Then he said with a concerned face: "Master Tu is sick." Just hurry back to see a doctor, don't worry, I am here, and I will help you explain it to the emperor. ”

"Ah, aren't you leaving?" Tu Li was taken aback. Almost exposed the filling, hurry up "Oops, hey, hey." of the disguise up.

Master Tu was sick and confused, and smiled silently, "I don't have a stomach, why do I want to go back." As he spoke, he arched his hand to the little eunuch and said, "The emperor is summoned, and he doesn't dare to slack off." The father-in-law took care of Mrs. Tu, and the next official took the first step. ”

This was reasonable, and the little eunuch naturally agreed. Seeing Shen Mo walking out, Tu Li finally panicked. rushed forward, grabbed Shen Mo and said, "Wait, I'll go with you!" He finally knew. Don't try to stop the silence, just keep up first.

"Your stomach doesn't hurt anymore?. Silent play.

"Compared to seeing the emperor come up, this pain is nothing!" Tu Li's face was hideous.

Early today. Huh"
