Xu Xiuning was silent for a moment, and then spoke, "There is a relative from my mother's family who is a petty official in the northwest, and he was also involved this time. It's just that although he didn't help the abuse, he also had the hidden worry of not reporting it. ”

Fu Yuanling looked at Xu Xiuning with some suspicion when he heard this, "Wouldn't it be better for you to discuss this matter with the fourth brother?" ”

Xu Xiuning smiled bitterly, "No, the prince has always been upright, I don't want to embarrass him." And I'm also worried that if someone knows that the prince is interfering at this time, it will be unfavorable to the prince at that time. ”

"Then what did Master Hou say?" Fu Yuanling asked, if something like this happened, it was impossible for An Nanhou to do nothing.

"My father is also embarrassed now, and he is also afraid of affecting the prince." Xu Xiuning smiled bitterly, "I don't have a good way for a while, so I can only come and ask my ninth brother and sister to help think about it." ”

Fu Yuanling said: "Your Majesty ordered a thorough investigation this time, which shows how firm the attitude of the imperial court is. I heard that many officials and wives in the northwest have come to Shangjing to beg for people everywhere, even in our house, the prince doesn't care about this matter, and some people ask to come to the door, fourth sister-in-law, I advise you to think twice. ”

Xu Xiuning sighed, "If this is a faint official, it will be fine, but this relative of our family can indeed be regarded as a good official if he is an official." has been a county magistrate for ten years, and he hasn't moved his buttocks, and he doesn't dare to say that he doesn't leave the road behind, but the people are also simple, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. When his wife came to me, she didn't complain about her grievances, she wanted to ask if their master could save his life in this matter, but I really couldn't say no. ”

Fu Yuanling: ......

If that's the case, he's really a good official.

And with his back to the Hou Mansion of Annan, he can still be the magistrate of the county for ten years without moving his nest, which shows that he is an official who really wants to do things for the people.

Fu Yuanling was also worried, she didn't know much about the things in the court, so she looked at Xu Xiuning and said, "I'll go back and find someone to help ask, fourth sister-in-law, you wait for my news, I can't tell you what to do now." ”

Fu Yuanling really doesn't understand these things.

Xu Xiuning looked at Fu Yuanling, "There's really no way to forget it, don't be embarrassed." ”

Fu Yuanling nodded, and she didn't care about gossiping, she got up and said goodbye.

Leaving from Fengbo Yashe, Fu Yuanling went directly to Liu's Mansion.

Mrs. Liu was very happy to see Fu Yuanling, took her hand and said, "I have long wanted to go to see you, but I can't move away from home." ”

Fu Shuhui was pregnant with her second child, two months older than Fu Yuanling's belly, and the two smiled as soon as they met.

Mrs. Liu asked the two of them to sit down, and then said, "How is your appetite now, can you worry about this in your stomach?" ”

"I was very embarrassed a few days ago, but now I am much better." Fu Yuanling replied and said.

Fu Shuhui looked at Fu Yuanling and said, "I was a great toss last time, but this time it is worry-free, I can eat and drink." ”

Fu Yuanling said with a smile: "I can see it, my sister-in-law's face is very good." ”

Fu Shuhui touched his face, he was a little fat.

Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "It's a blessing to be able to eat, if you want to look good, it's not too late to wait until you are born, you are now eating two people's food alone, you can't dislike eating too much." ”

The two of them responded with a smile, Fu Shuhui got up and said, "Lang Zhong asked me to walk more, I'll go to the kitchen and let them stew a cup of bird's nest soup, just slippery." ”

Mrs. Liu looked at her daughter-in-law with a smile, "Go, take your girl and go slowly." ”

"Hey, I know, mother." Fu Shuhui smiled and went out.

Fu Yuanling knew that Fu Shuhui thought that he had something to say to Mrs. Liu, so he deliberately avoided it, but the affairs of the Chu Wangfu were indeed not easy for too many people to know.

Fu Yuanling didn't plan to tell Mrs. Liu, so he asked, "When will my father-in-law come back, I have something I want to ask." ”

"It's been a busy few days, and we'll have to wait. I'll ask someone to go to the yamen and ask, you're waiting at home. Mrs. Liu beckoned her own girl to give a few words, and then said to Fu Yuanling, "I'm old, I can't be idle all day, and now because of the affairs in the northwest, it's common for your stepfather not to go home for two or three days in Xiguan Mansion." ”

"How so?" Fu Yuanling was quite surprised.

Mrs. Liu sighed: "The imperial court thoroughly investigated the affairs of the northwest, and some people knew about it, so they came to Beijing in droves to sue the emperor. When people arrive in Xiguan Mansion, they can't check and look at the road guide before they can release people, isn't it busy when there are many people? ”

Fu Yuanling didn't hear about this, and said in shock: "The people are coming to Beijing? I didn't hear the wind at all. ”

"Your father-in-law suppressed the news, how could such a thing be spread, naturally it is to appease the people first, and then report to Your Majesty." Mrs. Liu had a headache, "These people are really bold, they dare to report the drought during the Taiping years, and when it comes to the drought year, the relief given by the imperial court to the victims also dares to swallow, a group of beasts dressed in human skin." Read the books of the saints and do the deeds of animals. ”

Fu Yuanling's heart was pounding, this is a lawsuit against the emperor, it is really going to make a big fuss.

The righteous father pressed it down, just to see what His Majesty meant.

What if Your Majesty lets the victims into the city?

What about the permission to sue the royal court?

Fu Yuanling felt a little panicked, the list was originally a double-edged sword, which injured King Wu, but King Chu couldn't retreat with his whole body.

Fu Yuan made them gamble on loyalty, but no one dared to say that His Majesty valued this.

When Liu Songjin came back, the sky was dark, his face was gloomy, and he saw Fu Yuanling waving his hand, "You are sitting, if you can't bring a word over, what are you doing running back and forth like this now?" ”

Listening to his father-in-law's words of concern, Fu Yuanling smiled, and was about to speak, when Mrs. Liu said, "You two are talking, I'll go see Brother Ran." ”

Liu Song nodded respectfully, "Go ahead, that kid can't be indulgent, you have to take care of it, don't raise me a little gentleman." ”

Mrs. Liu left with a straight face, and Lord Liu looked helpless.

"Tell me, for what?" Liu Songjin took the teacup handed over by Fu Yuanling, took a sip of tea and said.

Fu Yuanling said the matter, looked at his father-in-law and asked, "Is there any room for this kind of thing to turn around?" ”

"Being an official is timid enough to be like this, he doesn't know the law and breaks the law, he has a good political performance in office, and he is backed by the Marquis of Annan's mansion, no one will deliberately target him and harm him, what is he afraid of? There are hundreds of officials in the northwest, and Your Majesty can't kill them all. Liu Songjin was angry and laughed, "Ten years is still in the position of the county order, and I don't dare to go up with my political achievements in hand, what kind of official is the courage of a rat?" ”

Fu Yuanling was silent for a moment, but he didn't know what to say.

Liu Song looked at Fu Yuanling and said, "Unless his immediate boss has something big, and he is in the know, he will be afraid." ”

Fu Yuanling frowned slightly, "What do you mean?" ”

"If it's not cowardly, then there are other plans, anyway, with a lot of merit in hand, you can still calm down and stay in the position of the county magistrate, this little county official is not simple." Liu Song said meaningfully.
