Chapter 189: A farce in the court

Zhou Xiaocao looked at Du Shangshu, who was still kneeling on the ground, but his ears were about to stand up, he smiled secretly in his heart, blinked his eyes, and said: "The 100,000 taels of silver, naturally I took it out, do you still expect a small official in the Qingshui Yamen like Wailang, a district member of the Ministry of Industry, to be able to take it out?" What a joke, you're not very good! Alas, speaking of this arithmetic, when I was in Cangzhou, I once held a refresher course for Mr. Ledger, each person only had fifty taels of silver, I built yƬ You follow me to learn this arithmetic, otherwise you go to the street to buy vegetables, and you don't know if you are cheated! ā€

Master Ma was furious: "Full of nonsense! I'm a member of the court, what arithmetic do I need to learn with you? And to go to the street to buy groceries, to do such an inferior thing that only the inferior do? Absurd! ā€

Zhou Xiaocao said solemnly: "This adult, I don't like to hear what you say!" Don't you eat vegetables every day? That dish was also grown by inferior people, and it was also made as a cook of inferior people, right? There are also inferior people like maids and servants who serve you to eat, right? You eat inferior people, use inferior people, enjoy the service from inferior people, and you still scold them, is this what a court member should do? Under the wise leadership of our emperor, you and other officials should care about the people of Li, how can you look down on them! ā€

Zhou Xiaocao had just eaten a few steamed buns stuffed with leeks, and when he got close to talking, the mouth full of leek flavor sprayed straight at Master Ma, smoked a big man, and lowered his face.

Zhou Xiaocao said triumphantly: "Look, there is nothing to say, right?" You know it's a shame, right? Still covering your face, I see you are"

Master Ma said, "Who is ashamed? It's not your leek."

Emperor Tianze couldn't stand it anymore: "Okay, okay!" Above the court. Don't you two look out of sight? Shut up! ā€

Master Ma hurriedly bent down and said, "What the emperor taught me is that Weichen knows that he is wrong. ā€

Zhou Xiaocao said softly to Master Ma, "You are just wrong. Hee-hee! ā€

Master Ma was furious: "Believe it or not, I raided your house? I don't know how thick the sky is! ā€

He said this very lightly, but it only touched Zhou Xiaocao's bottom line. What does Zhou Xiaocao hate the most? Raid the house! When I was in Cangzhou. Chang Daren led people to raid his house, copied his house to the bottom, and arrested everyone except him Zhou Xiaocao. This time I went to Taihang Mountain, and when I came back, those so-called "clansmen" were almost like raiding the house, except for my wife, who didn't move, and wanted to take the rest. What's the difference between this and robbers?

Emperor Tianze asked, "Ma Aiqing, what did you just say?" ā€

Master Ma hurriedly replied: "Back to the emperor, Weichen is saying, how can he have so much money in this descendant?" Moreover, even if he is rich, he and Na Du Gongzi have never met, how can they contribute so much money for others? There's fraud in this. ā€

This is obvious. That is to say, I don't believe what Zhou Xiaocao said!

Emperor Tianze asked, "Zhou Xiaocao, what do you say?" ā€

Zhou Xiaocao said: "Your Majesty, this is actually very easy to explain!" Why am I rich? One. My father-in-law used to be a big merchant in Cangzhou and was rich; Second, I also cured His Royal Highness the Prince's illness. Your Highness has rewarded me with a lot of money! As for Du Gongzi, Master Ma. Do you know what it means to fall in love at first sight? What is Instant Killing? That's what we are. Good friend, stick a knife in your ribs for your friend. Just 100,000 taels of silver, I paid it! ā€

Master Ma still didn't give up, and snorted coldly and said, "Okay, let's believe you once." But on what basis do you say that you paid for the money? What is the evidence? ā€

Zhou Xiaocao smiled: "The evidence is obvious, that Ice Spirit girl is in my home at the moment!" If you don't believe it, Master Ma can go and take a look, and I'll ask her to give you a 20% discount, a discounted price, how about it? That Ice Spirit girl is a big beauty! ā€

Master Ma's eyes lit up: "Really? 20% off? What a shameless person! Such a solemn place actually said such a nasty thing, phew! ā€

Emperor Tianze spoke at the right time: "Ma Aiqing! You've gone to such great lengths just for this? This is just a farce of a small people like Zhou Xiaocao, and the facts show that it has nothing to do with our court's important ministers! ā€

Master Ma said: "This emperor is wise, it is all speculation by ministers, and the sins of ministers!" However, the minister is out of a heart that is loyal to the country! The ministers really don't want to see that such a wise emperor has someone under him who is a traitor, so the ministers and ministers "

He ministered for a long time, and no minister came out for a reason. Emperor Tianze watched his performance, smiled secretly in his heart, threw a kind smile at Zhou Xiaocao, and praised him for doing a good job. Then he said: "Okay, I understand Ma Aiqing's intentions, and I don't mean to blame you." Well, in this case, you are here to accompany Lord Du, who has suffered an unjustified disaster, and this matter will be considered in the past. ā€

"Huh?!"

Not only was Master Ma taken aback, but the rest of the civil and military officials were also surprised. In ancient times, the authority of the official was still very large, even if what they said was false, they would not be blamed, at most they would not let him be the official, he was not suitable for this, just change the department. However, now, he wants him to make amends for the sins of his impeached people, which is too embarrassing, right?

Du Shangshu was there at this time, with a smile in the corner of his eyes, and secretly stared at the blind Master Ma who was anxious, with the meaning of "If you don't make amends, I won't get up".

Master Ma hesitated, and the emperor added another material to him: "There is a story of Lian Po and Lin Xiang's guilt in ancient times, I can't imagine that there is such a thing in my dynasty, I am really happy!" ā€

Yes, the guilt of Jing has come out, and if you don't go to accompany the crime, maybe there will be some kind of moth!

Master Ma walked towards Du Shangshu, bent down and said: "Lord Du, the investigation of the lower officials is not true, which has caused great inconvenience to Lord Du, and the lower officials are polite here!" ā€

Du Shangshu was still kneeling there, grinning his teeth. What is the matter with this Ma adult, is it still on the shelf? Do we have to bear the guilt?

Du Shangshu said: "The old man has been kneeling for too long and can't get up. ā€

"Boom!"

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty almost collapsed, this reason is absolutely absolute!

Master Ma had no choice but to gently pick up Du Shangshu, Du Shangshu couldn't get better for a while, and he had to support him like this for a while. The two political enemies have never been so "close" as they are today. Anyway, how awkward it looks!

Emperor Tianze waved his hand: "How good is this!" Scatter the dynasty! Zhou Xiaocao stayed. ā€

The hundred officials knelt down to send Emperor Tianze away, and Zhou Xiaocao stood there, not knowing what to do. Fortunately, Zhu Mao came over to lead him: "Let's go, the emperor wants to see you." ā€

Zhou Xiaocao followed behind Zhu Mao and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, what is the emperor looking for me?" ā€

Zhu Mao stopped, turned around and said, "Come here, bring your ears closer." ā€

Zhou Xiaocao did so, but Zhu Mao grabbed his ears: "You little rabbit cub, really know everything in our family?" Well? This time, if you commit some heinous felonies, even our family won't be able to save you! But tell you in advance, the emperor's face is not good, you have to deal with it carefully later, don't do anything else! Don't understand? ā€

Zhou Xiaocao hurriedly nodded: "Understood, understood!" ā€

Zhu Mao shook his head: "You understand a fart!" Why did our family recognize you as a foolish nephew? Iniquity, alas! ā€

But looking at him like that, I'm afraid it's more spoiled than blamed. Zhou Xiaocao is also grateful to this old eunuch. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have died in this palace no less than twice, right?

When he arrived at the Wenxuan Palace, where the emperor stayed every day, Zhu Maocai said: "Go in, the emperor wants to see you alone." ā€

"Huh?"

Zhou Xiaocao panicked and looked at Zhu Mao, but Zhu Mao twisted to the side, looking helpless.

Zhou Xiaocao had no choice but to go in. But seeing that the setting in the Wenxuan Hall was extremely simple, Emperor Tianze was sitting on a soft couch, and there was a palace maid standing on one side, and there was no one else. Zhou Xiaocao walked over tremblingly and asked, "Your Majesty, is your old man looking for me?" (To be continued......)

Also, ask weakly, are there any recommended tickets and monthly passes?
