Chapter 305: Seeking Advice
"Godfather, godfather, what my son said is true, how dare you hide it!" There are a total of three eunuchs kneeling on the ground, all of whom are pinned with the waist card of the East Factory, looking at the palace clothes on their bodies, the grade is not low, and it is estimated that they are the stall heads in the East Factory.
Seeing that Chen Hong was angry like this, the three of them were all as white as earth, and they kept kowtowing, knocking off the hats on their heads.
One of them was so frightened that his forehead was already covered with flesh and blood.
"Hit, kill these three!" Chen Hong let out a sharp scream, and kept asking the people around him to do it.
Beside him stood two eunuchs with sticks of fire and water, but they were all hesitating.
Wu Jie could see that these three people were Chen Hong's henchmen in Dongchang. Those little eunuchs naturally didn't dare to offend, and they really couldn't do it.
He was also strange in his heart, these three people were admired by Chen Hong on weekdays, why did they make Eunuch Chen furious and want to make such a dead move?
"Why, I won't do it!" Chen Hong jumped up, grabbed a stick, and smashed it at the three of them with his head between his head, and scolded hoarsely as he beat him: "His grandmother, you brutes don't think our family is dying fast enough, don't you, whose benefits are you, and want to set up a situation for our family?" Say! ”
The three of them were beaten and collapsed to the ground, and someone cried: "Godfather, this matter is very important, even if you borrow a hundred bear heart leopard galls from your son, you don't dare to talk nonsense." In fact, that little pavilion old colluded with the palace...... The son already has ironclad evidence in his hands, and he doesn't dare to hide it, so he can only reply according to the truth! ”
"Fart, fart!" Chen Hong's hands didn't stop, and the room was full of the thrilling muffled sound of sticks falling on people: "I asked you to check Xiaoge Lao, what are you doing by pulling out the people of Yuwang Mansion, they are all a bunch of waste...... Shizhen ......"
Seeing Wu Jie coming in, Chen Hong's hand stopped.
Wu Jie's heart was shocked, looking at the situation, Dongchang was investigating a case, and he was going to give Yan Dang some color. But I don't want to involve Yuwang.
Today's strict party has sunset, and everyone is shouting and beating. Chen Hong asked Dongchang to find trouble with Yan Song, which was also in line with the trend, and it is estimated that he also had the intention of asking the emperor for credit and showing favor to King Yu. But he didn't want to backfire, so he pulled the palace into it and gave the future emperor eye medicine, Chen Hong lifted a stone and hit himself in the foot. Naturally, he was furious.
What is it?
The Yan Party and the royal government are political enemies of each other, when were they pulled together?
The stalls of the three Dongchang were all beaten to the ground, Wu Jie was very sympathetic in his heart, and smiled at Chen Hongyi: "I got Your Majesty's will, come and give an account to the celebrant supervisor, but I don't want you to make such a big move here." It's noisy! What about Grandpa Huang? ”
Chen Hong's face softened a little: "Isn't Gonggong Huang waiting by His Majesty's side, didn't you see Shizhen." ”
Wu Jie was stunned: "But I didn't see it." He waved his sleeves at the stalls of the three East Factories and smiled deliberately: "I have official business to discuss with Chen Xiang, what are you doing here, and you don't want to leave?" ”
The three of them naturally wanted to leave here, but they were afraid of Chen Hong, and at the same time their eyes fell on Gonggong Chen.
Chen Hong didn't want to do anything with these three henchmen, just now he was angry and couldn't control his emotions. This is the right time to take this opportunity to go down the ladder. Snorted: "Don't get out yet!" ”
The three of them looked at Wu Jie gratefully as if they had been amnestied, and helped each other to retreat.
Chen Hongchao also waved his hand to several eunuchs beside him: "You all go down, I have something to say to Shizhen." ”
"Yes, godfather."
When the eunuchs were gone, Wu Jie handed over the account at hand to Chen Hong: "It's the same if Gonggong Huang is not looking for you, this is the account of Yuxi Palace." I still have more than ten days to take the exam, so it's good to be early, so as not to delay the exam. ”
and everyone is gone. When only Wu Jie and Chen Hong were left in the room. ..., Chen Hong grabbed the account. Without looking at it, he threw it into the non-paper basket: "This account is meaningless." Don't look at it. ”
Wu Jie looked at him quietly: "Wu Jie is puzzled, and he still asks for advice." ”
Chen Hong looked around, as the head of the Dongchang spy, he showed a rare trace of fear on his face: "Shizhen, I am in big trouble this time, if I want to ask for advice, I really want to ask you." ”
Wu Jie: "Gonggong Chen, if you have something to say, please speak directly." If you can, you will never refuse. "I finally seized a great opportunity to make the governor of Dongchang owe him a favor, and Wu Jie naturally won't let it go.
Chen Hong said in a voice that could only be heard by two people: "There is a problem with the maintenance project of Yuxi Palace, Chen Hong has already found out that the entire project will not need so much money." Yan Shifan of the Ministry of Industry and the father and son of the Li family colluded with each other and embezzled nearly one million taels of silver from it. ”
Wu Jie took a breath of cold air: "This project, looking at the accounts alone, there is nothing wrong with it." ”
Chen Hong: "There are a lot of good bookkeepers in the Ministry of Industry, and they are all strict party members, and it is not easy to settle the accounts, I have evidence for this, how can I talk nonsense." It is said that the Yan Party wants to be greedy for silver, and that is because they are looking for death by themselves, and they are worried that they will not be able to find their handle. But this matter involves the Li family's father and son, but it is a little troublesome. ”
He sighed, with an annoyed face: "I just felt that something was wrong, and I started to investigate it a long time ago." originally planned to use this to move down the Yan family and make a great contribution to His Majesty. But now, it's in big trouble. If he really runs the Li family, he will be the prince in the future...... Our family just has no place to bury. ”
Chen Hong continued: "Shizhen, if our family handles this case, the Li family's father and son and even the palace will hate me to the bone." If you don't do it, the matter is so big, I guess Your Majesty has heard about it. Long live the Lord is also a sight and ear in the East Factory, and when the time comes, it will be unfavorable for me to do things, and I will also be a dead word. You are a person close to Your Majesty, and you have the talent to save me once this time, no matter what. ”
After speaking, he kept giving up his hand.
Wu Jie then remembered that he vaguely saw Chen Hong's figure during the birthday banquet of the Li Mansion, and it is estimated that Chen Hong was investigating this case at that time.
He suddenly laughed: "Gonggong Chen thinks too much, this matter is actually easy to solve, just report it directly to the prince, and the prince naturally knows how to deal with it." The money that should be returned will be refunded, and the law should be punished. Could it be that you and I can still be stronger than King Yu? Besides, this is also a good opportunity to let the prince know that there is your name in Chen's father-in-law! As long as you tell the truth, presumably the prince will not embarrass you. ”
Things in officialdom can sometimes turn bad things into good things.
Without saying anything, Chen Hong's body sank, he stood up suddenly, and waved at Wu Jieyi: "Thank you Shizhen for your advice." ”
Wu Jie smiled: "Okay, my mission is also done, I will leave, I have to take the exam, and when I get the Jinshi, it is estimated that I will not be able to enter the palace and walk around in the future." ”
After saying that, he drifted away.
As soon as he came out of Xiyuan, he saw Huang Jin walking over with a smile on his face and stuffing a brocade into Wu Jie's hand.
"What is this?"
"Go home and open it, and it will be clear." Huang Jin smiled and didn't speak again.
