Chapter 385 [Open Heart] (II)
When he left Shuijing'er Hutong, Hu Xiaotian's joy brought by his ascension had completely dissipated, and some of his dazed minds had become sober again, and this heart-to-heart conversation with his father made him realize that Dakang's shape had not changed in any way because of this palace change, and the situation of their father and son had not been substantially changed, and the old emperor's return to the throne might not mean anything good for their Hu family.
Hu Xiaotian asked the coachman to send him to Dongmenwai Street, where Baofeng Hall is located, he now lives in Fuxi Inn, very close to Baofeng Hall, although Baofeng Hall also has a place for him to live, but Hu Xiaotian made this choice in order to hide people's eyes and ears and prevent others from detecting the relationship between him and Baofeng Tang.
When he came to the door, the door opened from the inside, and Huo Shengnan came out of it with a concerned face, and said in surprise: "Are you back?" ”
Hu Xiaotian nodded, walked into the room and closed the door with his backhand.
Huo Shengnan saw his outfit and already knew that he should have solved everything smoothly when he went to the palace this time. He said softly: "Look at your style, you should have been rewarded by the imperial court." ”
Hu Xiaotian nodded diligently and said, "Not only was I rewarded, but I was also given an errand as the deputy commander of the imperial guard." ”
Huo Shengnan blinked his eyes and said, "Isn't that similar to Shi Kuan's official position?" "Shi Kuan is the leader of the Dayong Golden Scale Guard.
Hu Xiaotian said: "It's half a level away, but I can't plug in much." ”
Huo Shengnan said: "I didn't expect that your Dakang was special, and he actually let a eunuch be the commander of the guards." ”
Hu Xiaotian was angry by her words: "Who do you say is a eunuch?" ”
Huo Shengnan glanced at him, and silence was better than sound at this time.
Hu Xiaotian pointed out the colorful dragon gold medal on his waist to her, and then sat on the Taishi chair with a very chic hem, crossed Erlang's legs, and smiled proudly: "I haven't sued you in the past." I was ordered to pretend to be a eunuch to enter the palace and collect evidence of Ji Feihua's usurpation of power and rebellion, and now that I have retired, the emperor has officially issued an order to restore my free body, I am a man! From today onwards, I will be that dignified man again! ”
Huo Shengnan chirped: "What's the big deal." In short, you can't deny that you used to be a eunuch! ”
Hu Xiaotian was choked by her, nodded, and held back a vicious sentence: "You have seen it with your own eyes and touched it with your own hands anyway, and I can't help it if you don't admit it." ”
Huo Shengnan's face was flushed, and he was about to be annoyed and angry.
Hu Xiaotian hurriedly begged for peace: "What, let's not talk about my **, there are important things to deal with." ”
Although Huo Shengnan suffered a loss in words, she also understood that even if she continued to fight, she still had to bow down. There is no way, it is not as shameless and obscene as him, he glared at Hu Xiaotian fiercely and said, "You have something to do, I'm not interested." ”
"There has to be a helper......"
"me!" Huo Shengnan was annoyed and angry, and couldn't help but be rude.
Hu Xiaotian looked at her upturned buttocks.
Huo Shengnan hurriedly twisted his body: "What do you see?" ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "Come with me to the Criminal Department, and our family's things should also be brought back." ”
In the afternoon of the same day, Hu Xiaotian first sent Princess Anping's ashes to the palace, and then went to the Criminal Department with Huo Shengnan to go through the procedures for recovering the confiscated property and property. In fact, he is also pretending, and he is not clear about how much property he has in his family. He said to the official, "All here?" ”
The official smiled and said, "Lord Qiyu, all of them are here." ”
Hu Xiaotian shook the roster in front of the official: "Such a thin book, I feel that our Hu family seems to have more than just such a thing." ”
The official said: "Your Excellency, the lower officials are responsible for the statistics and storage according to the raided register, as for the inventory of property and the registration of the register, it is not under the jurisdiction of the subordinate, when the raid of your mansion was made. It is the responsibility of the person in the household department to register and raid the register. ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "Who is responsible? ”
The official said: "I remember that it should be the current Hubu Shangshu Xu Zhengying Xu!" ”
Hearing Xu Zhengying's name, Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but feel angry, Xu Zhengying was just his father's subordinate in the past, and he was also extremely flattering to himself, but later his father was in trouble. Xu Zhengying not only took the opportunity to take the position, but also betrayed himself, this account has not been settled with him until now, Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "Okay!" ”
The official said: "Master Hu has read the register, if there is no problem, please sign and draw on it, and the lower official will immediately send someone to sort out the things and return them to the house." ”
Hu Xiaotian picked up the brush and dipped it in thick ink, wrote his name on the receipt and pressed his handprint, grabbed the key to the gate of Hu's mansion, turned around and walked away.
Huo Shengnan followed Hu Xiaotian and ran all the way to Hubu Shangshu Mansion, turned over and dismounted in front of the gate, but saw that there was still a seal on the gate, Hu Xiaotian came to the door to tear the seal, took out the key to open the iron lock that locked the gate, and the gate of Hufu, which had been closed for many years, finally opened slowly, and looked up at the barren grass in the courtyard, which was no longer neat and elegant in the past. The eaves are covered with cobwebs and dust, and the corners of the road are covered with vines and moss.
Huo Shengnan looked at such a large mansion and couldn't help sighing: "I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to clean up such a large house, right?" ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "Thank you for your hard work!" ”
Huo Shengnan blinked his eyes and protested, "Why me? ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "If you stay here and eat and live for nothing, you must pay a little bit, right?" ”
"Who said I was going to live here?" The reason why Huo Shengnan followed Hu Xiaotian to Kangdu with him was not because he was worried that he would encounter danger on the road, she had already completed her mission after arriving in Kangdu safely, but she was willing to leave, but she was worried that Hu Xiaotian would be condemned by the Dakang court because of Princess Anping's affairs, so she stayed and waited for the results, and now it can be determined that Hu Xiaotian was not punished but was rewarded and promoted, Huo Shengnan told him in his heart that he had reached the time to leave, and from then on he would wander the world without worry, But when I think of it, I feel that it is difficult to let go.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Do you really plan to wander the world?" ”
Huo Shengnan nodded and said, "Of course!" ”
Hu Xiaotian looked at her with true feelings in his eyes: "Shengnan, don't go, what should I do if you leave?" ”
Huo Shengnan's pretty face was hot, he bit his lip and said, "Shameless, what do you have to do with me?" ”
Hu Xiaotian was about to tease her a few words, but he heard a surprised voice outside: "Young master! Master! Here we go! Hu Xiaotian raised his eyes, but saw a group of people rushing towards this side, entering the gate, the group of people knelt down one by one, Hu Xiaotian saw that this group of people were all their former servants of the Hu Mansion led by Li Jinhao and Hoover, these two people also escorted him to Xichuan Qingyun, until Pengyin Mountain before returning, the loudest but fell at the end is the big fat man Liang Dazhuang, for a while I didn't see this goods seems to be richer than in the past, leaving the care of the Hu family seems to be quite nourishing.
Liang Dazhuang panted and squeezed away everyone, and knelt down in front of Hu Xiaotian with a plop: "Da Zhuang kowtowed to the young master!" Da Zhuang is not seen for a day as if he is every three autumns, he looks forward to it early and late, and washes his face with tears all day long, as the so-called emaciated for you, and he will not regret it when his clothes are gradually widened, this poem is the true portrayal of Da Zhuang. ”
Hu Xiaotian was angry when he heard him patting his ass, and he also dragged words with himself, and said with a smile: "Da Zhuang, you kid has grown, but why didn't I see you become haggard, but instead eat fat and big ears?" It is obviously wide in heart and fat. ”
Liang Dazhuang cried bitterly and said: "Young master, Da Zhuang's body bones are completely given by my parents, even if I drink cold water, I have to grow meat, there is really no way." ”
Hu Xiaotian smiled: "Let's all get up!" ”
The former family members of Hu Fu stood up at this time, and Hoover became serious, and Hu Xiaotian called him in front of him and asked how they knew that they were coming back.
Hoover said with a smile: "It was the news from above, saying that it was an order from King Yongyang himself, so that we, the old people of the Hu Mansion, came back to help tidy up the mansion and serve the young master, I received an order so I summoned some old people from the former mansion to come back, and sent people to wait for the young master here in advance, and saw the young master coming, so we rushed over." ”
Hu Xiaotian secretly thought in his heart, although he was very young at the age of seven or seven, he could be regarded as having a heart, and he knew that it was useless to return the Hu Mansion to himself without anyone to take care of him, so he specially notified his former subordinates. Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "It's rare that you have a heart, Hoover, you all perform your duties to clean up and down the mansion, and when you clean up and tidy up, I can take my father and mother back to live." ”
Before the Hu Mansion suffered, Hu Buwei had the foresight to send these subordinates home in advance, so there were not many people who were really implicated, and Hu Buwei had always been tolerant and generous to his subordinates in the past, so most of these Hu Mansion subordinates were thinking about the benefits of the Hu family, and now they heard that the Hu family was re-appointed by the imperial court, and they naturally heard the news one by one, and many people will come back one after another in the past two days.
Hu Xiaotian called Hoover and Liang Dazhuang over, asked them if the Hu family had a list of property in the past, and handed the book from the Criminal Department to Liang Dazhuang, asking him to find out the list of past accounts and compare them to see if there were any officials who took the opportunity to embezzle their family property when they confiscated the Hu family's property. It's not that Hu Xiaotian is too careful, this kind of thing is too common. Facts have proved that Hu Xiaotian's suspicions are not superfluous, and the property returned by the Criminal Department to the Hu family is not even one-third of what it used to be, and most of the things, including the antique calligraphy and paintings collected by the Hu Mansion, are not on the list provided by the Criminal Department.
Hu Xiaotian was sure that the family property was greedy for ink in the process of confiscation, and he couldn't help but be furious in his heart.
