When Cao Yu returned to the yamen, he felt that the hall was particularly quiet today, and his colleagues could not help but keep their voices to a minimum when discussing official affairs.

He returned to his desk, and as soon as he sat down, a colleague came over and asked in a low voice, "Cao Yu, how did Ma Juren provoke Master Cheng again?" ”

Hearing this, Cao Yu looked at him diagonally across the table, Ma Juren's face was flushed, and he looked like there was a big footprint on it, and he sat on the chair in a ten-twisted posture, as if he had a wound on one side of his buttocks.

Cao Yu shook his head, his eyes indifferent.

The colleague continued to gossip: "He is close to you on weekdays, don't you know? ”

Cao Yu pondered, "Is it close?" ”

The colleague who blocked was speechless for a while, and Xindao was really a weird person.

Cao Yu only talks about official affairs in the ministry on weekdays, and holds a book when he has nothing to do. And everything about him was told by Ma Juren.

Ma Juren said that Cao Yu was lucky when he was young, and he was taken care of by Zuo Qiansi when he first came to the ministry. Ma Juren also said that Cao Yu and Zhang Ze and Master Zhang are the same senior brothers, and he can enter the Ministry of Officials must rely on the relationship of Master Zhang; Ma Juren also said that Cao Yu has a beautiful girl, embroidered with one hand, and is a big winner in life.....

But nothing could stop his colleague from gossiping, and he continued: "I have been in the ministry for a short time, and I have never seen Lord Cheng get so angry. ”

The colleague looked at Ma Juren as he spoke, and he happened to meet Ma Juren's eyes and was despised by him.

The colleague coughed twice in embarrassment, got up and walked away.

Ma Juren gritted his teeth and pouted, his eyes were almost on fire, he was not deaf, so he naturally heard the conversation between the two clearly, what does it mean to be close to Cao Yu? If it weren't for Cao Yu's ascension, he wouldn't lick Cao Yu's big iceberg. The ghost knows how Cao Yu found out that the recital was greasy, if he hadn't changed the recital, he would have been beaten by adults today, Cao Yu!

Oops, it hurts, it hurts!

Ma Juren accidentally touched the injury that was kicked by Cheng Kun, and the pain made him gasp, and when he looked up, Cao Yu didn't know when he was standing in front of him.

Ma Juren couldn't help but tremble with his legs, "Cao, Cao Yu, is there something wrong?" ”

Cao Yu's eyes were dark, his bottomless gaze seemed to swallow Ma Juren, and the treacherous exudation around him made people condense their voices, the corners of his mouth raised an appropriate arc, and his treacherous smile carried the arrogance of no one else.

"Last Night's Recital ......"

"Bang dang!"

Before Cao Yu finished speaking, Cao Yu was so frightened that he didn't sit still, his body leaned back, and even the person with the chair fell to the ground, making a loud noise.

"Ma Yitong, what else can you do!"

Cheng Kun, who was in the upper position, roared angrily throughout the entire yamen of the ministry, and everyone was silent.

Cao Yu kindly went to help, but was rejected by Ma Juren several times back. He didn't care if his buttocks hurt or not, he sat on the ground and retreated again and again with his arms propped up, "I, I ......" couldn't even speak coherently.

Cao Yu stood tall, with a handsome face and a smile at the corners of his mouth, handsome and extraordinary.

But in the eyes of Ma Juren, it is a spirit banner in front of the king of Hades. Since Cao Yu knew that he was doing his own tricks, how could he let himself go in the future?

Cao Yu spoke slowly, with a kind gesture, "I forgot to hand over the recital that Ma Juren helped write last night, and I put it here." With that, Cao Yu put the fold on the table.

It wasn't until Cao Yu left for a while that Ma Ju reacted, and he was crazy and turned out the fold that Cheng Kun threw to himself, which was not written by himself at all!

The content of Cheng Kun's self-confession is even more ridiculous than the content of the confession he was going to frame for Cao Yu!

Ma Juren collapsed limply on the chair, the so-called stealing chickens is not a loss of rice, he was completely planted in Cao Yu's hands this time.

Cao Yu returned to the table with his eyes bright and dark, he knew that Ma Juren was going to frame himself with a falsetto, so he simply came up with a plan, imitated his handwriting and wrote a more excessive content, and then pretended that he didn't know, and wrote a correct copy for Zuo Qiansi.

Zuo Qiansi is not a fool, and when he found out that he was talking nonsense, he taught Cheng Kun a hard lesson, and Cheng Kun found Ma Juren through handwriting. Let the horses lift the man and shoot himself in the foot.

Therefore, people are watching the sky, and those who come out to mix will have to pay it back sooner or later!

Throughout the morning, Cao Yu was in a good mood. He finished his official duties early and studied the local chronicles with his hands.

"Cao Yuanwailang, Bachelor Zhang is invited." The little officials of the Hanlin Academy were respectful to Cao Yu, and the sentence of Bachelor Zhang made the entire officials involuntarily prick up their ears.

Cao Yu calmly got up from his seat and followed the little official out.

Zhang Ze was already waiting outside the yamen of the Hanlin Academy, and when he saw Cao Yu coming, he beckoned him to get into the carriage.

"The prince wants to see you."

In the carriage, the two sat opposite each other. The paper fan in Zhang Ze's hand was irritated faster and faster, but he didn't pay attention to it.

Cao Yu said "um" and spoke again, and the two who had been confidants in the past suddenly quieted down, and the atmosphere was inevitably embarrassing.

Soon, Zhang Ze noticed that Cao Yu was staring at him, and there was something wrong in his heart for no reason, so he could speak, "Is there anything on my face?" ”

"The fan is too noisy." Cao Yu said expressionlessly.

Fan? Zhang Ze was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that the fan in his hand was getting faster and faster, and put it away with a dry smile.

There is no air movement in the carriages, which makes it even more dull.

Zhang Ze finally couldn't help it, and said to Cao Yu: "Do you have anything to say to me?" ”

Cao Yu didn't answer, but still looked at Zhang Ze fixedly. Zhang Ze felt that his whole person was about to be looked at by Cao Yu, and his eyes couldn't help but drift away.

The two were at a stalemate.

I don't know how long it took, Cao Yu spoke: "Master Zhang, is the official at ease?" "Betraying his good brother to become an official and a knight, are you Zhang Ze still at ease?

Hearing the ridicule in Cao Yu's words, Zhang Ze turned his head away and smiled a little reluctantly, "Officials and officials are all officials, and they are good officials for the welfare of the people." ”

"Cao Yu, you can't learn from Zheng Renqian, just after being promoted, you will accept bribes."

Zhang Ze seemed to be pointing from the bottom of his heart, and Cao Yu couldn't help but want to laugh when he heard it. According to Zhang Ze's logic, regardless of whether the official position is clean or not, as long as he does something beneficial to the people after becoming an official, he is a good official?

But the official position is not coming from the right way, how can you expect it to be good to the people in the future?

Cao Yu didn't answer, and his indifferent face added a layer of ice, making it impossible to get close.

"Phew—"

The coachman pulled the horse, the two of them got out of the car, and a lush bamboo forest appeared in front of them, and there was a path winding in it between the bamboo trees, which made people not only curious, but also what kind of fairy wind bones would live in this kind of place.

Zhang Ze raised his feet in front and opened the fan with a "swish", but then he put it away, and his face lacked the elated energy. He was slightly half a step ahead of Cao Yu and walked in front.

The green bamboo is faint, and the seemingly quiet and transcendent place will also make a noisy sound when the wind blows, just like the current Dayi Dynasty, which seems to be the country and the people, and there are many people who are ready to move in the dark.
