Xuanzong's original intention was to scare Wang Zhen, Xuanzong got the news that Wang Zhen's family wealth was all sent to the door by the minister who asked for him, Xuanzong was also blackmailing Wang Zhen in disguise, but the way of employing people lies in a relaxed and relaxed degree, how to be honest and conscientious without giving some sweetness, Xuanzong knows this way, so he also turns a blind eye to Wang Zhen's illegal behavior and does not know.

Xuanzong said: "Back then, I tried my best to set up a special 'inner study hall' to choose witty people to solve my worries and problems, if you were like a fish and a fool, how would I let you be by my side." All right, you get up and speak. Wang Zhen stood tremblingly and listened to Xuanzong say: "What you said just now really surprised me, but I thought about how you could help me deal with the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty without some real skills. If I have something to say in the future, I won't blame you. Wang Zhen said: "The slave and maid thank the emperor for not sinning against this grace!" ”

Xuanzong looked at Wang Zhen and said, "Is Jinyiwei's errand finished and returned to the capital?" Xuanzong casually took a book and put it in his hand, but did not open it.

Wang Zhen said: "If you go back to the emperor, Lord Xiao has returned to the capital and handed over the documents of this case to the slave maid, and after the slave and maid transcribe it, it will be submitted to the emperor for reading." Xuanzong asked, "What does the document say?" Wang Zhen said roughly: "Back to the emperor, the document wrote that a total of 175 households were seized in the case of 'Yuan Ji'**, and 15 cars of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, gold, silver and jade have been put into the 'stolen goods and punishment warehouse' to be counted and handed over to the household department by the slaves and maids. When it comes to how much silver is confiscated, Wang Zhen is very entangled in his heart, I don't know whether to report truthfully, or under-report or over-report, truthfully report that there is no oil at all, but I can't bear my hard work during this time, under-reporting is afraid that Xuanzong's anger will outweigh the gains and losses of the new and old accounts together, thinking of wanting to report more, Wang Zhen's heart is dripping blood, and he quietly glanced up at Xuanzong and found that Xuanzong was not angry and waiting for his answer, and his hand kept shaking the mysterious book.

Wang Zhen hurriedly said: "A total of 1.2 million taels of silver will be confiscated, and after waiting for the emperor for a while, the slaves and maids will be sent to the household department." Hearing Wang Zhen's report of 1.2 million taels of silver, Xuanzong thought in his heart that there were 200,000 taels more than the information he had gotten.

Xiao Qianjun's report to Xuanzong was written on one million taels, and in the case of "Yuan Ji", Xuanzong asked Jinyiwei to personally investigate and handle it, just to prevent the people below from fishing in troubled waters. Xiao Qianjun was under the command of the Jinyi Guard, so that people who were not close to and trusted by the emperor could not take responsibility, so the information in Xuanzong's hands was still credible.

wanted to be an extra 200,000 taels of silver, Xuanzong had an indescribable comfort in his heart, and Wang Zhen was obviously deceived by his master. Xuanzong said with a smile: "You have done a very good job this time, and I am very relieved. Xuanzong got up and came to the table, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of ginseng tea, and said: "You have done a good job, and you are not short of things, come, taste the tea made by this ginseng and the dew collected by the Tianshan Snow Lotus again, it is very delicious!" Wang Zhen hurriedly knelt down and took the tea and said, "Thank the emperor for the reward." "Get up and drink it all, but also show your love for the things given by the emperor.

Although the tea is down, Wang Zhen is dripping blood in his heart, 200,000 taels of silver is worth a bowl of bullshit tea, looking at Xuan Zongle's flowering smiling face, Wang Zhen thought about Ma Shun and said it together, it would be too late if he didn't say it at this time.

Wang Zhen said: "Your Majesty, this errand is done well thanks to the Jinyi Wei and a group of brothers, just now the slave maid made an initiative to let Ma Shun do the Jinyi Wei business, hoping that the emperor will be angry." After saying that, he knelt on the ground.

Xuanzong had more than 200,000 taels of silver for nothing, how could he blame him for letting people do a trick, Xuanzong said: "No defense, you get up and speak first." Xuanzong continued: "It is a matter of course to reward meritorious deeds, since you promise others that it will be difficult for me to let people take it back, this will not make the hundred officials laugh at me and do not understand the reason." Okay, I'm okay now, you go and send the money to the household so that they can allocate it to the provinces that are going to repair the Yellow River. Wang Zhen ordered to withdraw from the Qianqing Palace.

Walking alone in the corridor of the Qianqing Palace, Wang Zhen's whole face was gloomy as if he was about to storm the sky, and he was so frightened that the eunuchs in the past hid far away, for fear that he would be a bird if he was not careful.

Wang Zhen thought to himself that he was hunting all day long, but he didn't expect to be pecked by an eagle, this is because he imagined Xuanzong as a prey to be killed, and he became a hunter who controlled his fate, and he didn't have the kind of humility in the Qianqing Palace just now, and his nails were deeply grasped in the palm of his hand to leave a deep trace, the more Wang Zhen thought about it, the more angry he turned around and looked at the Qianqing Palace, his face was uncontrollably distorted, and a trace of terrible thoughts appeared in his heart, and he slapped on the pillar for a long time before leaving to do the errand ordered by Xuanzong.

Qingyu has been on the boat for three days since Songlin County, and in these three days, Qingyu has not spoken a word to the people on the boat, always looking out the window or listening to what others say, and when he is really hungry, he spends a few dollars to buy some steamed buns here at the boat's house to satisfy his hunger. The cabin occupants had long been accustomed to sitting in the corner of this young man who didn't say a word.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Qingyu clearly felt that there were more passenger boats coming and going on the river, and there were more fishermen on the river, and the passenger boats slowly rowed into a wharf, only to hear the boatman shouting loudly at the bow of the boat: "Songjiang Mansion has arrived, please prepare early if you want to leave." He shouted like this several times in a row.

No one got up to leave despite the boatman's shouting, at this time the passenger ship had docked in Songjiang Mansion, watching the people on the pier come and go, Qingyu was like seeing home, falling into endless pain, and a sorrow swelled up inexplicably in his heart.

The passenger ship docked at the dock for half an hour as usual, and at this time, several people came up in the cabin one after another, and they did not sit next to Qingyu, but sat next to those who loved to talk, and joined in or listened with interest next to them.

Half an hour was about to pass, and the ship's owner was heard shouting, "Set sail." As he spoke, he saw the men of the boat raising their canvases, and some of them pulling the anchor stones from the river into the boat. Just as the ship was about to leave Matsue Mansion, I heard someone shouting next to me, "Wait, boatman." In the distance, I heard a man's voice shouting.

The people in the cabin stopped talking when they heard a noise outside, and suddenly it was quiet inside, and it was too boring all the way over, always hoping that something lively would happen, and they stretched their stomachs to look outside, and when they heard that someone was going to get on the boat, they resumed their previous voices.

The late guest officer strode on the boat, panting like an ox, and the running just now made him very tired, and when he entered the cabin, everyone took a look, but it was a middle-aged man, who was about to be confused, and the young man stood and glanced around the cabin, and saw that there was an open space next to Qingyu, and he couldn't help but sit next to Qingyu.

At this time, the boat had already left the dock and left Songjiang Mansion, and the boat was rowing quickly with the wind and water.

Qingyu turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window, and the middle-aged man saw that Qingyu didn't answer him, so he took the initiative to say to Qingyu: "This son is really interested, in the lower capital, the surname is Han and a cypress." Qingyu saw someone talking in his ear, just turned his head to look, and saw that it was the person who had just boarded the boat, and turned his head out of the window and continued to look outside.

Han Bai saw that Qingyu ignored him and touched a nail, and he was not annoyed, and continued: "This son's reluctance to talk to others must be because he has something in his heart, he might as well say it and let others discuss it together, so as to find a way, he hides his depression in his heart and is afraid of getting sick for a long time, relying on his parents at home and his friends outside, and his son does not have to reject people thousands of miles away." In the past few days, Qingyu also wanted to find someone to tell the pain in his heart, but they were all a group of three, and five people got together in a bunch. I had long forgotten the young man sitting in the corner.

Now that someone is talking, Qingyu is also willing to open his heart and spit out the unhappiness in his heart, Han Bai's words just now hit Qingyu's heart, Qingyu turned to Han Bai again and said: "How rude it was just now, don't mind, brother." Han Bai said: "Where is it, is it to disturb the son, I am angry and say more, I see the child's brows locked, his face is sad, and the whole person is also lacking in energy, as if he is overly sad, when he enters the cabin, he sees you sitting alone, it is not that there is something at home." Qingyu said: "In Songlin County, Zhejiang, the surname is Qingmingyu" Qingyu has been preparing to be incognito since the day he left Songlin, removing his surname and calling him by his name, and then said: "I don't hide it, my parents have just passed away. ”

When Han Bai heard the news of the death of Qingyu's parents, he also said with a sad face: "It's really damn down, which pot can't be opened, which pot will let the son experience grief again." ”

Qingyu hurriedly said: "Brother Han doesn't have to be like this, some injuries can't be reduced or increased by others whether they say or not, just like the scars left behind, they can't be erased, and the experience has to be experienced." ”

Han Bai said: "The death of my parents is really the biggest misfortune in the world, if Qing Gongzi needs help, I am willing to do my best." ”

Qingyu said: "Thank you Brother Han for your kindness, it's just that this kind of thing can be dealt with alone, so why do you need to make others sad." Han Bai said: "Qing Gongzi's calm mind is admired tightly, we recall the sad things, and the deceased relatives often remember." Okay, let's not talk about the sad things. ”

"It's fate to meet Qing Gongzi, you should drink a cup, I still have a jar of flower carvings here." Han Bai took out a jar of wine from the burden behind him, and took out a bag of things wrapped in lotus leaves.

Han Bai patted off the sealing mud of the wine jar, sniffed with his nose close to a drunken look, and couldn't wait to open the lotus leaf, which was filled with a bunch of peanuts, the weeping round and golden color were very attractive, and the beef was cut next to it, Qingyu, who had eaten steamed buns on the boat for a few days, was very delicious, and couldn't help but swallow saliva in his throat.

The two of them looked at the food in front of them, but they didn't have the right dishes and chopsticks, and they couldn't help frowning. It is impossible for two people to hold the wine jar and you take a sip, and I drink it in one sip, which is really unsightly.

Qingyu still thought of asking the boatman to borrow it, got up and walked out. After a while, there were two more bowls and chopsticks in his hand, Han Bai took the dishes and chopsticks and poured a bowl full for the two of them, Han Bai said: "There is wine today and I am drunk today, no matter if he is worried, come and drink this bowl with us." Qingyu said: "Okay, Brother Han is so Yaxing, I can be disappointed, and I can drink this bowl full." As he spoke, the two of them raised their heads and drank a bowl full of wine.
