Chapter 15: Brothers

Han Qinglan was stunned for a moment, and before she raised her eyes, she said in her heart:

'This voice and tone will not be ......'

Sure enough, as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw that there was no one who could not appear here at this time, and he was standing in front of him with a big grin!

"Lao Hong? You are not on an errand in front of the palace gate at this hour, but you come here ......."

Hong Ze didn't wait for him to finish, Pu Fan grabbed Han Qinglan's shoulder with a wave of his big hand, turned in place, and pushed out without saying anything.

"Hey, don't mention it. Go, go, go, do my brother a favor, let's talk on the way if we have something to say. ”

Although Han Qinglan was accustomed to Hong Ze's fiery temperament, he was already late. Now that I have arrived at the entrance of the yamen, I don't even show my face, I don't have a word of explanation, I turn around and leave?

If you really do this, then you don't have to wait for tomorrow, the next moment when the imperial historians inspect here, they can make him troubled, and it will be light to lose his official position!

But he paused, and before he could refuse, Hong Ze actually spoke first and added:

"How idle are you in this yamen, when I don't know? This time is different from the past, don't try to prevaricate me and run away! Besides, even if there is really something serious, my brother will come back to invite you, the great god, but he has brought all the official orders! Do you dare to disobey the announcement? ”

Hearing this, Han Qinglan lowered her eyes and swept over the official article of the military department in Hong Ze's hand, and responded with a wry smile:

"How dare you?"

But in the blink of an eye, when he raised his eyes again, he had changed to a heartless smile.

"However, the younger brother only listens to the tune, not the announcement."

Hong Ze hadn't replied because of Han Qinglan's rare response, but he was wondering, but he was choked in the next moment.

This bastard boy, if he dares to take an official position, he can't get past him, right?

In terms of eloquence, he can't beat Han Qinglan with ten of them. But how could Hong Ze be so weak?

When he was choked on his teeth, he had already raised his hand and slapped Han Qinglan's back, and his strength was able to slap the weak one directly.

"Beautiful, you boy! Don't be verbose, let's go! ”

Although Han Qinglan was still standing firmly in place, she was also gasped by this slap, and secretly grinned.

"Hey, big brother, can't you leave some affection for your subordinates? If you're really going to shoot a cripple, how can you stick a knife in your ribs for a while and go to the soup and fire? ”

While joking, he no longer "struggles".

Even when he turned to leave, he was much more relaxed than when he came.

Although the Treasury Department is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, because there is really no important task, it is located in the west of the Thousand Steps Corridor, adjacent to the Dengwen Temple, and the Zongzheng Temple across the Thousand Steps Corridor, and the military department directly under it is still far behind the Zongzheng Temple.

Therefore, the two of them walked into the corridor from the main entrance of the treasury, and met a young man with a red horse, a young man with a jade crown in silver armor, who was commanding a team of royal forest troops with a horsewhip, escorting a carriage that was so embarrassed that the windows were broken, and went straight to Zongzheng Temple.

"Be in good spirits! Your Highness has taken care of the prisoners! If you dare to make a mistake, your Royal Highness will lose face in front of your father and the civil and military officials, so you will come to see you! ”

The loud scolding, even if it was dozens of steps away, was still like thunder.

And at the end of the thousand-step corridor is the Chengde Gate, where the central government office is located, and the imperial study of Emperor Xuande is not far from here.

The people who dare to make a loud noise here are really the first time Han Qinglan and Hong Ze have met.

But because the other party turned their backs to them, the two didn't recognize each other's origins for a while.

Han Qinglan frowned suddenly, and asked Hong Zedao in a keen whisper:

"What the hell is going on today? And what do you want me to help with? ”

When it comes to business, Hong Ze doesn't have the heart to watch the excitement.

His brows were about to twist into a pimple for a moment, and he sighed loudly as he raised his hand and scratched his head:

"Well, this hasn't spread yet. But you don't have to wait for noon, it's going to be a street talk. ”

Han Qinglan saw that her good brother, who had always been free and unrestrained, sighed irritably, and her frowning brows stretched out, but her expression became more and more serious and condensed.

"Say it. You're obviously busy, but you've been waiting for half a day, and you've struggled to get an official document, don't you just think I can help you? So what is there to hesitate about? Hidden and tucked, easy to self-defeating. If I see it, I will immediately pick it, and there will be no next time. ”

Hong Ze was woken up by a word, patted the back of his head, and said with a wry smile:

"Tsk, look at my elm head! It's either intentional to hide something from you, or ...... Hey, I'll understand when I say it. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately explained in detail all the beginnings and ends of this morning's unsolicited search of the entire Qingxing Street since he received the inspection guards, and then found that Prime Minister Lu was assassinated on the street on the Shangchao Road.

The more Han Qinglan listened, the more solemn his face became, but it wasn't until Hong Ze finished speaking in one breath that he asked:

"That is to say, not only have you searched without permission, but you have found nothing at the moment?"

The sharp and sharp words made Hong Ze's face turn red for a moment, but even so, he quickly replied in a dumb voice:

"Yes, but I'm not trying to take credit. You probably haven't heard that Prime Minister Lu has won the heart of the emperor, and just a few days ago he was given the imperial guards to escort the upper and lower courts, which has shown that his holy family is prosperous and the emperor's grace is mighty. ”

When Hong Ze said this, he couldn't help but sigh deeply again before continuing:

"At that time, I happened to be in front of the temple......"

Han Qinglan nodded knowingly, and continued smoothly.

"So this errand of picking people fell on your head, and the ones you picked out were all your own subordinates, only novices who embroidered their legs?"

In one sentence, Hong Ze's face became more and more pale.

But he didn't dare to delay any more work, so he could only grit his teeth and nod, and continued to say without reservation:

"Traditionally, this kind of errand is to use the imperial guards as decorations. The newcomers don't have enough effort, but their momentum is more than one another, and this kind of errand is just right. In the future, when the temper is smoothed out and the kung fu is practiced, they are all good hands. But who knew it would come out like this, this kind of ......"

Hong Ze breathed a sigh of relief before he could continue: "They were all selected by me, and now they are dying so miserably. In any case, I should give them and their families an account in person! ”

However, he himself is not that material, and he still found nothing after checking for a long time, so he had to ask for help.

Han Qinglan and Hong Ze's family are world friends, although the two did not see each other much when they were children, they are also old friends for many years, and they naturally know this old guy.

Hong Ze was born in Jiangmen, but because there were almost only empty shelves left at home, after joining the army, he was almost like a civilian, and he relied on himself step by step to fight until now. It can be regarded as Emperor Xuande's discernment, so he was exceptionally promoted to his current position.

Therefore, he values real skills more than family background. And unlike ordinary generals of the Royal Forest Army, he cherishes the lives of his subordinates even more. If he recognizes and treats him as a brother, he is a brother.

It is precisely because he knows this that when he heard that Hong Ze would overstep his authority to investigate the case, he had already guessed one or two in his heart, and there was no surprise at all.

But right now, he is really for this brother, and he has a cold sweat in his heart!
