"Your Majesty, this Zheng Renji's ability is still a little capable, it's just that this means." Shen Qianqiu shook his head and said. It is rare for a Shangguan to be obstructed by most of the officials in Hedong City, which shows that Zheng Renji's methods are too fierce, and even the officials under him are afraid.

"This also shows that the local heroes are powerful, and even the imperial court can't control them." Li Xin's face was gloomy, and he said lightly: "The imperial court relies on these officials to govern the place, and who do these officials rely on?" In fact, it depends on these places to be strong and strong, and the squire, so the relationship between the court and the squire has become delicate. The imperial court governs the imperial court, and the squire governs the locality. These people knew that I didn't like the big families, so they thought that moving Zheng Renji away was a way to deal with the family, but in fact, they didn't know that these big families were better, and the local heroes were the real hate. ”

"Your Majesty, what should I do about this matter?" Shen Qianqiu asked in a low voice.

"No need, let Jung In-ki do it! You brocade guards will follow. Can't let Zheng Renji be hurt, and send an edict to Ma Zhou, and also keep an eye on this matter. Li Xin thought for a while and said: "The power of the squire is offended, but it can't be left to them, Xue Chenggui is the most hateful person like this, check it out and see what it may find." ”

"Yes." Shen Qianqiu nodded, at any time, although subordinates can get benefits from reporting their superiors, but in officialdom, it is always a taboo. If the matter of the accusation is really something, forget it, the key is that Xue Chenggui's affairs are actually slandered.

Leaving this matter to Zheng Renji is nothing more than wanting Zheng Renji to handle this matter by himself, so that he can establish his authority in Hedong, Shen Qianqiu can see that Li Xin is still very good to this Zheng Renji.

At this moment, in the back garden of Zheng's mansion, a beautiful girl quietly looked at the peach blossoms in front of her, only to see her eyes wandering, and her beautiful face suddenly showed a resolute look. She is the daughter of Jung In-ki. In Hedong is a well-known existence, called Zheng Liwan. It is known as the first beauty in Hedong. Actually, she didn't like it.

"Miss, Lu Gongzi and Yu Gongzi are here." There was a sound of small broken footsteps behind me, and I saw Zheng Liwan's personal maid Qingwen walking over. Lu Gongzi refers to Lu Shuang, a son of the Jiangnan family, and Yu Gongzi refers to Yu Shinan's son Yu Chang, both of whom are outstanding young heroes today and Zheng Liwan's suitors.

"Please." Zheng Liwan said softly. Her voice is like that of a yellow bird, beautiful and elegant.

"Liwan!" After a few moments, two handsome young men walked in. One was dressed in brocade and the other was dressed in a white shirt, but he was dressed gracefully and looked chic.

"You two, please be seated." Zheng Liwan suddenly showed a smile on her face, pointed to the stone bench on the side, and said, "I don't know what happened to Liwan's two sons?" Can you find out the illegal evidence of the Xue family? ”

The two suddenly looked embarrassed, glanced at each other, Lu Shuang shook his head and said, "Liwan." I'm sorry for this matter, but I didn't find evidence in favor of my uncle in Hedong, and this is not Jiangnan. ”

Yu Chang also spoke: "We questioned many people, and the testimony of these people was not favorable to my uncle. Liwan, I'm afraid this matter can't be done, it's better to ask my uncle to leave Hedong, according to my uncle's ability. Whether it is in Guanzhong or Jiangnan, there can be a place. Why bother in the land east of the river. Gassed on both sides. ”

"Although my father is too resolute, he is an official for the court. The emperor will definitely be happy when he knows what he has done. My father didn't do anything wrong, even if there was anything wrong with the subordinates, it was only because of the subordinates, my father taught a lot on weekdays, but people's hearts are like this, how can they be influenced by my father? Zheng Liwan said dissatisfiedly.

"But the emperor clearly doesn't want to care about this matter, you haven't heard about what happened on the dock yesterday, I think the emperor doesn't like the people in Hedong officialdom, otherwise, he wouldn't live in Li Yuan's palace. Someone must have been sent to inquire about the case a long time ago. Lu Shuang said with some puzzlement: "Liwan, what kind of place is this in Hedong, this is a place close to Gyeonggi, and it is a high-ranking official." ”

"Do you think my father is no longer fit to be an official here?" Zheng Liwan's eyes were burning, and Lu Shuang, who was watching, took back what she wanted to say. Zheng Liwan saw it clearly, and finally sighed deeply and said: "It's Liwan who said it seriously, but my father is not wrong about this matter, in the final analysis, it was my father's original actions that offended the interests of these powerful people, so there is such a thing." ”

"Haha, Liwan is right. It is said that Liwan's beauty and intelligence are incomparable, and now this son has discovered that Liwan's intelligence is no less than that of the world's great wisdom. At this time, a hearty laugh came, but I saw a young man with a pale face walking in with a folding fan in his hand.

"Xue Hongye, what are you doing here?" Yu Chang stood up and looked at each other with disgust, he was Xue Chenggui's son and one of Zheng Liwan's admirers.

"Liwan, what are these two people doing here? Can they help Uncle? The only one who can help my uncle in Hedong is our Xue family, how about it, you and I are married, my uncle and my father are allies, one is prosperous, and the other is lost. This can also be dissolved. Isn't it great that my uncle is still the prefect of Hedong, and my father is still the envoy of Hedong? Xue Hongye glanced at Lu Shuang and Yu Chang with disdain. Didn't take these two people to heart in the slightest.

"A small envoy is so arrogant, His Majesty already knows about this matter, do you really think that you can eliminate this matter with your Hedong Xue family?" Lu Shuang sneered: "A place is so bold and powerful, isn't it afraid that the imperial court will come to destroy your nine clans?" Don't think that what your Xue family did in Hedong can hide from others, can you hide it from Jinyiwei? ”

"You, good, good! Zheng Liwan: Is this your attitude? If you don't get rid of these two today, tomorrow I'll ask my father to look good. Hehe, now all the people in Hedong are on the side of my Xue family, who made your father a failure and offended too many people, it is impossible to turn over. Xue Hongye said loudly. He is the first son of Hedong, when has he been said like this, his heart is full of anger, his handsome face is distorted, and he looks indescribably ugly.

"It's funny, do you think the court doesn't know your mind? The emperor is so wise and powerful, how powerful the brocade guard is, as long as His Majesty gives an order, your conspiracy will be exposed in front of the world, the emperor doesn't like the family, but he won't like you who are strong on the evil side, my father works for the court, but you frame him, sooner or later the emperor will know. Zheng Liwan stood up, with a resolute look on her face, pointed at Xue Hongye and said: "This world is the emperor's world, the court's world, not your powerful world." Wait! I will now go to His Majesty the Emperor and ask His Majesty the Emperor to deal with this matter personally. I want to see if your Xue family is really unbreakable and can resist the wrath of His Majesty the Emperor. ”

"You, you're crazy. You actually went to see His Majesty the Emperor, can anyone see the Emperor? Xue Hongye was anxious for a moment when he heard this. said loudly: "This matter is a matter between the family and the local county, why should Your Majesty be involved?" Xue Hongye didn't dare to guarantee that Li Xin would personally take action in this matter. Because judging from the performance on the dock today, Li Xin dislikes the officials in Hedong very much, and he is also dissatisfied with Zheng Renji. If Zheng Liwan really saw Li Xin, it would inevitably have other thoughts, you must know Li Xin's hobbies, the whole world knows that Zheng Liwan is beautiful and rare in the world. If he is taken into Li Xin's pocket, not only will he lose a stunner, but he will also have an important impact on the case. Although the Xue family is very powerful, it must not compete with the emperor.

"Liwan, this matter is absolutely unacceptable." Lu Shuang also said: "This is a collision between the family and the squire, since ancient times, the court has mastered the place, and the squire has mastered the people, this has been a practice, if Your Majesty is allowed to make a move, this convention will be broken, and when the time comes, everyone in the world will blame the uncle, and the uncle will be an official in the local area in the future." ”

"Why, you're all scared?" Zheng Liwan showed a hint of pride, how did she not know this convention, she didn't use it before, it was also because of this convention, but at this time she suddenly found that if she didn't use this convention, she and her father would be unlucky.

If Zheng Renji is unlucky, he will definitely lose his official position and resign, according to how much better the result can be if he offended so many people in Hedong. What's more, it goes without saying that his appearance is needless to say, without Zheng Renji's protection, I am afraid that he will become someone else's plaything, such as Xue Hongye, who he hates in front of him, is one of them. Zheng Liwan didn't want to live this kind of life. So, even if there is a convention in front of her, she has to try to break it.

As soon as she thought of this, Zheng Liwan knew that she had always walked into a misunderstanding, in Datang, there was something else that could stop Li Xin's progress, and she only asked Li Xin to have something to solve. If she becomes Li Xin's woman because of this, at least she will be better than these people in front of her, and she will not become someone else's plaything.

"Zheng Liwan, you have to think clearly. If you meet Your Majesty, not to mention whether you can see Your Majesty, even if you do, whether Your Majesty will break this convention and whether you can find out the key to this case is also a question, but your father will definitely become the abandoned son of the family and the enemy of the county in the future. Xue Hongye said loudly.

"It's better than being your plaything." Zheng Liwan retorted, her neck raised, as arrogant as a little swan. (To be continued.) )
