It's night, the shallow grass is faintly red, and the waning moon hangs on the dredging tree.

Chen's Mansion, with a plaque on the book "Dongchang Admiral's Eunuch's Mansion"

Seeing that there was no one around, Luo Kedi knocked on the door of the house.

After a while, I only heard the voice of the old housekeeper of the Chen Mansion from inside the mansion: "Who, it's so late?" ”

Luo Kedi stuffed the note into the door of the mansion and said inside: "This is for your grandfather." After saying that, he turned around and walked north of the street.

The old housekeeper picked up the note, looked at the street with dim eyes, and only faintly saw the back of a person who seemed to be wearing brocade clothes, so he hurriedly sent the note to Chen Hong's room.

"Master, Jinyiwei...... Sent by Jinyiwei! ”

Chen Hong hadn't fallen asleep at this time, and was thinking about how to rule Yang Jisheng, whether to kill or stay, when he heard the old housekeeper's shout, he hurriedly walked out of the outhouse, only to see the old housekeeper lower than a note, and couldn't help asking: "This is ......"

"It was sent by a stranger, I didn't see the face clearly, but the clothes seemed to be brocade guards."

Chen Hong nodded, looked down at the handwriting of the dragon flying and phoenix dancing on the note, and suddenly his heart jumped wildly, he was too familiar with this name, and even more familiar with the hidden danger of this note in the poem!

"Hattori Heiji!" Chen Hong thought that his only nephew had sold the grain of these Japanese slaves, and when he saw that this note was sent by Jinyiwei, he couldn't help shouting, and he actually ran out of the study with the note in his hand and ran to the door.

He raised his eyes to look at the mouth of the alley, and there were few pedestrians. A few sergeants on duty, standing on both sides of the gate like clay statues of King Kong, turned around and asked Dongchang Fanzi, who was standing in front of the foyer:

"Do you see who gave this letter?"

"A young man."

"Young man?"

"Yes, it looks like a brocade guard thousand households Roke enemy."

"What about people?"

"Leave the letter and leave."

"Go chase him back."

"Yes."

The gatekeeper said yes, but he was slow at his feet. Chen Hong stomped his feet angrily and shouted, "There's no fucking to eat, hurry up!"

Fanzi was startled, and he didn't dare to slack off, and ran towards the mouth of the alley as if flying. Chen Hong had been watching his back disappear intently, and suddenly realized that it was inappropriate to stand at the door, and stumbled back to the study again.

After a while, Fanzi came to report with a sweaty face, saying that he couldn't find the person who delivered the letter.

"Do you dare to conclude that it is the enemy of Jinyi Wei Qianhu Luoke?" Chen Hong asked with a tense face.

"Absolutely."

"What does it look like?"

"Skinny, looks slippery."

"Got it, go ahead."

After Fanzi left, Chen Hong flipped through the note and read it a few more times, knowing that his net worth and life were in Xia Mu's hands, he couldn't help but be furious, looked at the old housekeeper with gloomy eyes, and asked, "Where is that unfilial son now?" ”

"Young nephew, young nephew is in the room......" The old housekeeper's legs trembled when he heard this, that kid brought back three or four girls from the curtain alley tonight, maybe this room is happy.

Chen Hong walked towards Chen Shaosheng's room angrily, and before he could wait, he heard a woman's giggling sound from the room, and he was immediately furious, and kicked the door over.

I saw that Chen Shaosheng was lying naked on the woman's belly, and he asked an old man to push the cart, but he frightened his mother-in-law, and suddenly the young man who was still as hard as iron was suddenly frightened like a weak mouse who saw a cat.

Chen Hong's face turned blue with anger, and he went up and smacked the two ear scrapers that did not grow, and the frightened Chen Shaosheng knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Chen Hong's face turned blue and white, white and green, hated him for not being angry, and scolded: "You little king and eight calves, I am serious about marrying you a daughter-in-law, you don't know how to live a good life, you spend all day outside with flowers and grass, and you actually bring these indiscriminate goods to the house to have fun, so that your pregnant mother-in-law hanged herself, and now she is here to harm Lao Tzu, you want me to go to the funeral with you when you die!" ”

Chen Hong's yelling directly frightened Chen Shaosheng, but he didn't dare to speak, I don't know where this master is not angry tonight, then he will be angry himself.

Chen Hong's eyes were blood-red, he looked at the naked ** women on the bed, and said coldly to the Dongchang fans on the side: "Kill them all!" ”

"Uncle!" When Chen Shaosheng heard that the eight souls had gone to the six souls, those women were even more ghosts crying wolves.

Chen Hong's heart was full of anger, he took a deep breath, glanced at the note in his hand again, and hurriedly said to the old housekeeper: "Prepare a good gift, take the post and send it to Ning Yuanbo's Mansion first, and say that I will visit in person tomorrow!" ”

The old housekeeper hurriedly answered and went towards Ning Yuanbo's mansion.

The next day, early at noon, Chen Hong packed up and went to Ning Yuanbo's mansion, but was told that Xia Mu was not in the mansion and went to Fusi in Beizhen.

Suddenly, Chen Hong's face turned even paler, knowing that this was Xia Mu's dismount, and he was pinched by someone, and he was terrified, he was afraid that if this Xia Mu entered the palace and shook out his nephew's affairs, then he would "be fine". The scene of the old emperor killing Wei in the previous year, he didn't see it, who was not careful at this time, lest he bump into the snatcher.

North Town Fuji.

Xia Mu came here with Xu Jie early in the morning, and let Zhu Xizhong's subordinates show mercy to Zhu Xizhong's subordinates to see if they could get Yang Jisheng from Dongchang to Jinyi Prison.

In the living room, Zhu Xizhong looked at Xia Mu, who was still injured, and then at Xu Jie, who sighed, and drank tea silently, without speaking.

Xu Jie pondered again and again, looked at Zhu Xizhong, whose face did not change, and had to put down the shelf of the auxiliary minister, and said: "Brother should know that this matter should not be too widespread, and I hope to think twice." ”

Zhu Xizhong looked at Xu Jie, silent. He understood the meaning of the sentence, but he was unwilling to take a stand and could not.

Seeing Zhu Xizhong's attitude, Xu Jie had to bite the bullet and put forward another request: "That person still hopes that the old brother will be protected." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Xizhong knew what Xu Jie meant, so he shook his head and refused: "This person's affairs are all over the world, and it is not up to me to do it." ”

Xia Mu knew that Yang Jisheng's matter had reached the sky, and Zhu Xizhong couldn't cover it. Xu Jie could only sigh: "That kid has a stubborn temper, so I, the teacher, will ask the elder brother to pay more attention and let him suffer less." ”

Zhu Xizhong glanced at Xia Mu, and only then nodded for the sake of Xia Mu's affection.

Seeing this, Xu Jie stood up and wanted to leave, Xia Mu hurriedly sent him out of the house, and when he arrived at the door, Xu Jie glanced back at Beizhen Fusi, and whispered to Xia Mu: "Although Chen Hong is the emperor's eyes, but Zhu Xizhong is a relative of the emperor after all, the descendant of Zhu Neng, the founder of the country, the entire Ming Dynasty Chengguo Gong and Wei Guogong are the two great fathers of grace, Yan Shifan wants to execute Jiaoshan in prison, Chen Hong alone can't cover the sky, he will come to Zhu Xizhong for this matter, you step up your probe, don't let Yan Shifan take advantage of the loophole!" ”

"Teacher, rest assured!" Xia Mu nodded, and then sent Xu Jie to the sedan chair.

When he returned to the living room, Zhu Xizhong smiled at him: "Your kid will not die, there will be a blessing, I heard yesterday that Princess An Ning begged for another night in the palace, which exempted you from punishment." ”

Xia Mu smiled, but sighed again: "Adults should know that the phrase "accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger", although Jiaoshan said that he was a little reckless this time, but for the sake of the backbone of the scholar who was interrupted from the 'great etiquette', he did nothing wrong. ”

Before the words fell, Jinyiwei came to tell him, saying that Yan Shifan came to visit in person.

Xia Mu and Zhu Xizhong glanced at each other and smiled at each other.

Xia Mu saw Zhu Xizhong glaring at him again, so he got up and hid behind the screen.

After a while, I only heard a loud laugh outside the house, and Yan Shifan, the "one-eyed military advisor" with a big belly and big ears, walked in, but his attitude was much more domineering than Xu Jie.

Although Zhu Xizhong didn't like it in his heart, he greeted him with a smile on his face.

The two exchanged pleasantries, and Yan Shifan showed his fangs, intending to execute Yang Jisheng and King Yu. Zhu Xizhong felt a chill in his heart when he listened, but on the surface, he kept nodding his head to show that he was willing to listen to the will of the elder Xiaoge, and Yan Shifan went satisfied.

Xia Mu behind the screen listened to it for a long time, but he also heard that there was something wrong with this matter, and this time he walked out from behind the screen, looked at Zhu Xizhong, who also had a bad face, and asked, "Your Excellency has also guessed the reason?" ”

Zhu Xizhong nodded, slammed the teacup on the ground, and scolded: "This one-eyed dragon must have received King Jing's silver, so he took King Jing out without mentioning it, and King Yu has a gap with the father and son of the Yan family. ”

"This matter, let's put it aside for the time being, let the people we put in the East Factory be secretly smart, protect Yang Jisheng, and save it if it can be saved, and we can't let him die in vain like Shen Lian!" Xia Mu thought about it again and again, and there was only one way to do it today.

Zhu Xizhong nodded, let people order, and said: "Yan Shifan must lead the disaster to King Yu, it depends on how Yang Jisheng explains his words of giving people a handle, if he is smarter, Yan Shifan may not have a way, and he can't cover the sky in Dongchang!" In this matter, you have to think of it yourself, ask someone to send news to Yang Jisheng, and let him find a good excuse! ”

"I'll take care of this myself!" Xia Mu responded, and then thought about Beizhen Fusi and walked outside, although he was worried about An Ning's injury, but he was now a sinner, he couldn't enter the palace without an edict, and the ministers couldn't step into the harem, and they only had to be in a hurry.

At night, the weather warmed up slightly, Xia Mu returned home early, and asked Ah Sang to give gold sore medicine, and called the doctor from the Tai Hospital to take a look, and then he had to rest.

He was lying on the bed and hugging Xu Xiyi, but he missed peace in his heart, and remembered the love scene between the two of them, and his heart was unsettled.

But just when he was about to sleep, the old housekeeper came to report to Yu Shi Zou Yinglong and asked to see him.

Xia Mu still heard of this imperial history, this person is a disciple of Xu Jie, a disciple of the Jiangyou School, and has a good relationship with Yang Jisheng on weekdays.

Since the news spread that Yang Jisheng and Xia Mu were being sceptered, Shilin seemed to be boiling over.

Wang Shizhen and others clamored to mobilize all those who disagreed with the court staff in the whole capital to sign the letter.

In this way, things will get bigger and bigger, Zou Yinglong dissuaded them, and then rushed to Ningyuan Bo's mansion alone, he hoped that Xia Mu would come forward to persuade the emperor to retract his will to kill Yang Jisheng.

Xia Mu thought about Zou Yinglong's so-called thing, but if he wanted to intercede by himself, didn't he want him to die? I can't guarantee that Yang Jisheng will die earlier, this Zou Yinglong is so brainless, thinking of bad ideas! It was deliberately rubbed for a while, and when he walked into the flower hall, Zou Yinglong, who had already sat down, hurriedly got up again to salute him.

Xia Mu sat down politely, but he was a little unhappy in his heart, and asked coldly:

"What is your business here?"

Zou Yinglong heard that there were bones in his words, he glanced at Xia Mu, who was still injured, and replied cautiously:

"The foolish office has come this time specifically for the scepter."

"What do you teach?"

"Yang Jisheng and Uncle have objections to Shoufu, and they wrote to impeach, which was originally the duty of a courtier, and the foolish thought that the uncle is fine now, but Yang Jisheng was on death row, and asked the uncle to go to the Holy Lord to plead for mercy."
