When the dynasty was dispersed, Zhou Shangshu of the Ministry of War, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, several leaders of the three internal security divisions, together with General Jianwei who was in charge of Jin Lingwei, and Yu Chengqi, who was in charge of Xiao Jinwei, everyone's face was not good-looking.

General Jianwei walked beside Zhou Shangshu, he raised his eyes and looked at a few silent colleagues around him, and decided to take the initiative to ask Zhou Shangshu about the military department taking the lead in counting the ordnance, anyway, Jin Lingwei couldn't run, he had to count on his head, it was better to ask Zhou Shangshu how to arrange it first.

Who knew that he had just turned around, and before he could open his mouth to speak, he saw Zhou Shangshu arching his hand towards him with a disillusioned face, and then quickened his pace and left quickly, looking like he didn't have the heart to speak.

Alas! General Jianwei shook his head, glanced at Yu Chengqi again, and asked, "Commander Yu, what do you say?" ”

"Wait for the military department." Yu Chengqi replied: "If the military department doesn't send people down, let's count them ourselves and don't recognize them." ”

General Jianwei nodded and did not answer, and decided to inform his subordinates to prepare in advance after going back. He felt that his words were also in vain. Yu Chengqi is naturally not afraid of anything.

Yu Chengqi is the commander of Xiaojinwei, loyal to the emperor, there are not many people under him, all of them are masters, and they are loyal to the emperor. Yu Chengqi himself is one of the emperor's most trusted people, so General Jianwei feels that even if Xiao Jinwei finds out something, this fire will not be able to burn Yu Chengqi's head.

But he's different! He is in charge of the garrison of the capital, and he has eighteen military camps under his command, each of which has an independent armory, and he really can't keep it all open. In case something is really found out, General Jianwei feels that he does not have as much weight as Yu Chengqi in the eyes of the emperor.

The rest of the military attachés obviously had the same idea as General Jianwei, and everyone invariably quickened their pace, and they all rushed to their respective yamen, wanting to check their arsenal in advance before there was any movement in the military department.

When they were all gone, a few people walked out of the gate of the Chongzheng Hall slowly. At the forefront was Scholar Gu, who had nothing to do with this matter.

The two of them discussed how to draft the edict that would be issued publicly, and turned back side by side, passing through the Moon Gate in the northwest corner of Chongzheng Hall Square, and heading all the way to the Imperial Study.

The next thing that came out was Lin Xiang, Lin Xiang's face was not too good, but it was not bad either. Although he didn't notice it for a while and was cheated by the emperor, in general, he didn't suffer a loss today, after all, he Wenmao, an important student who kept his post, also dug a big pit for the military department by the way, so Lin Xiang's mood is not bad at present.

And Li Xiang, who was following closely behind Lin Xiang, his face was obviously very ugly, he took a few quick steps, rubbed Lin Xiang's shoulder and walked forward, and did not greet him with a smile as usual, but didn't even look at Lin Xiang, and strode over directly.

When he was far enough away from Lin Xiang, Li Xiang let go of his clenched teeth and said hatefully: "Old fox! ”

The last one to leave the Chongzheng Hall was Xie Xiang. He waited until everyone was gone, and then walked out of the hall slowly, standing at the door of the Chongzheng Palace, looking at the empty square, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly...... Laughed.

"What a great opportunity!" Xie Xiang smiled and sighed lightly: "It's not in vain that I'm so patient." ”

……………………

An Guogong went to the north, and Mu Zhengyi was not at home on a business trip with King Yi, so what happened in the court on this day naturally did not reach the ears of the Mu family so quickly.

Therefore, when Mu Hongshang got the news, it was already evening, and her source was still Xie Shurou.

At this time, Mu Hongsheng's arm has gradually improved, Mrs. Mu is no longer so strict with her, and Mu Qingyi is gradually healing, but the two still haven't gone to school and are still in the process of raising.

When the letter from the Xie family arrived, it was already school time, Mu Hongshang and Mu Zhengyi were sitting in Mrs. Mu's room, and several of Mrs. Mu's daughters-in-law were also there, the table had been set, and everyone was waiting for Mu Lingyi to change their clothes and come over for dinner.

Mu Hongshang read the letter and didn't say a word for a long time, but after a while, she suddenly turned her head and looked at Mu Qingyi's face carefully, and said with a smile like some schadenfreude: "Fourth brother, it turns out that you also miscalculated." ”

"Where do you start?" Mu Qingyi asked confusedly.

"Didn't you say it two days ago, even if Sister Xie's family catches human and material evidence, it's useless to report to the official," Mu Hongsheng held the letter directly under Mu Qingyi's nose: "Guess wrong!" Sister Xie told me that her father went to the Yamen to report to the official in person today. ”

Mu Zhengyi took the letter, quickly skimmed through it, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, I went to report to the official!" ”

"Fourth brother, you guessed wrong this time," Mu Hongsheng looked quite proud: "I said before that it was useless to report to the official, why did the Xie family go to report to the official?" Isn't that a shame? ”

"Yes, you're right," Mu Qingyi couldn't help but reach out and rub his sister's cute little face: "It's the fourth brother who guessed wrong." ”

"Did the Xie family report to the official?" Duchess An Guo, who was serving tea to Mrs. Mu, turned around and asked, "Where did you go today?" ”

"Yes," Mu Hongshang nodded and replied: "Sister Xie said that after Lord Xie went down to the court today, she found her father, and the two discussed for a while, and then Sister Xie's father took someone to report to the official." ”

"Your fourth brother didn't say anything wrong before." Old Madam Mu added slowly: "A few days ago, the Xie family didn't go to report to the official, naturally because it was useless to report to the official, and it was useless to do anything." And today they went to report to the official, naturally because it was useful. As I said earlier, although Xie Xiang is meticulous and strong, Li Xiang is also a very shrewd person, if Xie Xiang wants to seek revenge against Li Xiang, it is not so easy, he has to wait for the right time. ”

"Grandmother is saying," Mu Hongsheng's big sparkling eyes looked at Mrs. Mu seriously: "Now is the time that Xie Xiang has been waiting for?" ”

"Nature." Old Madam Mu nodded: "There is movement in the Xie family, so naturally I feel that the time has come." Today, I am afraid that there is something going on in the court, and the eldest daughter-in-law will send someone to the front yard to take a trip and ask Mr. Sun if they know what happened in the court today. ”

"Yes." Duchess An Guo nodded, beckoned to her personal maid Qiulan, instructed her a few words, and asked her to go to the front yard to run errands.

It's just that Qiulan just came out of Mrs. Mu's yard for a while, but she came back again, and brought an old lady who ran errands in the front yard in.

"Old lady, madam," Qiulan pointed to the old lady who ran errands and replied with a smile: "Now the slave and maid can save trouble, it just so happened that Mr. Sun sent an old lady in to pass the word, saying that he wanted to come in and say goodbye to the old lady." ”
