"The prince thinks so thoughtfully, the old body is grateful." Mrs. Mu stood up and wanted to salute Zheng Ying, but Zheng Ying hurriedly stood up and held the old lady up.

"Red clothes," Mrs. Mu was helped by Zheng Ying and couldn't salute, so she beckoned to her granddaughter: "Quick, give a big salute to His Royal Highness King Xin for your fifth brother." ”

Mu Hongsheng immediately leaned over, and before she could bow her head and salute, Zheng Ying had already let go of Old Madam Mu very quickly, and turned around and put her arm in front of Mu Hongsheng, blocking her.

"Lord, I should do this ceremony." Mu Hongsheng raised her face and had a pair of big eyes, like the brightest star in the sky: "I should thank you for my fifth brother." ”

Zheng Ying felt that Mu Hongsheng's shining eyes must be tricky. When she looked at him like this, he suddenly let go of his hand in a daze, and let Mu Hongsheng bend down in front of him and make an extremely solemn salute.

Zheng Ying, who received Mu Hongsheng's salute, was a little annoyed, he felt a little rude, and before the matter was done, he actually asked the Mu family to bend down to thank him. He felt that he must have not rested for too long, so he was looked at by Mu Hongsheng's sparkling eyes, and he was a little dazed for a while.

However, chagrin is annoyance, His Royal Highness King Xin is still very able to hold his face on the surface, he nodded at Mu Hongsheng with a calm face, and said: "Miss Mu don't worry, since this king has accepted your gift, this king will do what he should do." ”

However, in order to hide her slight discomfort, Zheng Ying couldn't help but reach out and pinch the bridge of her nose, which made Mrs. Mu feel a little sorry. She looked at the sky and suggested, "It's late at night." Your Highness, you still need to go to court tomorrow, so you should go back to your home early to rest. ”

"It's fine." Zheng Ying nodded and responded: "It's better to hide when you go back at night, so as to be less alarming." ”

"Red clothes," Mrs. Mu instructed her granddaughter, "You send His Highness for me, and personally hold the lamp for His Highness." ”

Mu Hongsheng really did as Mrs. Mu ordered, and personally took the lamp to send Zheng Ying out. She and Zheng Ying walked quietly along the dark stone road towards the side gate of the Anguo Mansion.

Seeing that he was about to arrive at the door, Zheng Ying suddenly stopped, he glanced back at Mu Hongsheng, hesitated, and still said: "Remember to tell Jiling them directly if you have something, don't be polite to me." ”

"Hmm." Mu Hongshang nodded: "I know." ”

"Then I'm leaving." Under the cover of darkness, Zheng Ying reluctantly looked at Mu Hongsheng twice: "You...... Don't send it. Not far in front is the side door, your housekeeper is waiting at the door, someone helps with the lighting, go back. ”

Mu Hongshang hesitated for a moment, stood in place and nodded. Zheng Ying was about to walk to the door, but Mu Hongshang suddenly spoke: "Your Highness...... You ......"

"Huh?" Zheng Ying turned around again and looked at Mu Hongsheng with an inquiring expression, thinking that she had something else to ask him.

"I mean to say......" Mu Hongsheng took a step forward and said in a low voice, "Please be careful." Li Xiang and He Wenmao are both people of King Yi, and they ......"

"Don't worry about me." Zheng Ying decisively interrupted Mu Hongsheng's words: "And this is not something you should care about. You are the Mu family. ”

"But I still hope you're doing well." Mu Hongshang replied in a low voice: "It's smooth." ”

Zheng Ying turned her head, didn't look at Mu Hongsheng's face, and replied in a somewhat stiff tone: "I will naturally go smoothly." As long as I can find out about the affairs of your family, I can naturally overpower Zheng Jin in front of my father. It doesn't matter what it is, no matter how many people there are behind him, it doesn't matter, what matters is the attitude of his father. ”

Mu Hongsheng raised her head, looked at Zheng Ying's back, and finally didn't say anything more.

"I'll go first." Zheng Ying didn't look back, he only dropped a simple goodbye, and then strode towards the corner gate of the Anguo Mansion.

Mu Hongshang stood in place and saw the steward waiting near the corner gate running over with a lantern and pulling a small crack in the corner gate, Zheng Ying quickly dodged out through the crack in the door.

The moment Zheng Ying went out, she couldn't help but turn around. The distance was far away, and it was dark, and he couldn't see Mu Hongsheng's face clearly. I could only see her figure carrying a lantern, standing straight in the night, lonely.

When Zheng Ying left the Anguo Mansion, it had actually passed the third watch, but in the middle of the night, there were many people who hadn't slept like this, such as Gu Zhengze and Gu Sanye's father and son in Gu University's mansion.

Not only did the two of them not sleep, but they didn't even eat dinner, and as soon as Gu Sanye came home, the father and son locked up in the study to discuss the current situation. After Gu Sanye got all the information from Scholar Gu's mouth, his face was blue, he was both panicked and happy, fortunately, it was not too late, and there was still room for reversal.

"It's definitely fine on the books." Gu Sanye told Scholar Gu like this: "I am the head of the branch, and all the current accounts of the household department must pass through my hands. Grain-related affairs, Changping belongs to me, but most of the Hu bucket is actually in the warehouse, the two Beijing warehouses are accumulated, and the Tokyo grain, Baiguan Lusu kitchen materials, etc. are accounted for by the warehouse, and the accounts are handed over to me, and I am responsible for review. ”

"Do you know anything about your warehouse secretary?" Scholar Gu asked.

"After I entered the household department, I changed a secretary, and now this is also an old man in the household department." Gu Sanye replied: "In the past, he was the head of the Ministry of Gold, and he was in charge of rewarding and hiding money and silk in the treasury of hundreds of officials. Last year, I was transferred to the warehouse to be the secretary, and I was transferred, not promoted, and the errand of the warehouse department was not as easy as the gold department, I thought that He Wenmao wanted to install his own people in the gold department, so he transferred the former head of the gold department. Right now......"

"This secretary must be He Wenmao's cronies." Scholar Gu immediately made a judgment: "He Wenmao was originally a student of Lin Xiang, Lin Xiang has controlled the household department for many years, and many elderly people in the household department are forest officials. What about the priest before him? Where was it transferred? ”

"Ship." Gu Sanye immediately replied: "It is also a good beauty difference to manage the transportation of the imperial river, the flying money of merchants, bridges, and the three taxes, which is better than that of the warehouse department." ”

"In the past, this priest was eighty percent of Sun Shangshu's people." After thinking about it, Scholar Gu said, "Otherwise, He Wenmao would do such a painstaking transfer layout. ”

"It seems that he had premeditated." Gu Sanye frowned: "Otherwise, why don't you directly insert your own people into the shipment, the royal river transport, the merchant flying money, the bridge, and the three taxes are full of oil and water, according to me, it is stronger than the warehouse." ”
