Empress Meng also nodded, her face was a little solemn, and said: I also saw this. I'm just strange, Thirteen Lang has always been a steady character, and his temperament belongs to the more tranquil kind, why is he so reckless today, he dares to ignore the taboo of the forbidden palace, and go straight to the harem, with such courage, there may be people in the world, but it will never be the king of Yan!

Ouyang Shu shook his head and said, "Actually, it's not strange at all. King Yan was only sixteen years old. This age is not small, but it is not too big. He has his own thoughts, but he is also easily deceived. Judging by his conduct today, it should be impossible that he has not been deceived by others!

Empress Meng and Zhao Jing nodded at the same time, both agreeing. Zhao Jing forgot her shyness at this time, her face was solemn, and she muttered: It's just that who is this person who bewitched him?

Ouyang Shudao: Actually, this range is both big and small. Think about it, if King Yan inherits, who is likely to get the most benefits besides himself? Moreover, the premise is that this person should not be a descendant of King Yan's side, because King Yan's style of behavior has never been as bold as it is today, which means that this person has only recently returned to King Yan.

Zhao Jing groaned, her brows tightened, but she was still confused. Empress Meng's expression was also somewhat similar to her, but her brows quickly relaxed: I understand, it must be the minister of the court. Only the ministers of the court are attached to the thirteen langs, and when the thirteen langs ascend the throne, they will have the merit of the dragon, and then they can get a lifetime of glory and wealth, and even a wife and a son. Moreover, today's matter should be cooperated by the minister, once I prevent him from coming to the audience, the minister should be the first to clamoring for him, showing solidarity with him, and at the same time arousing the dissent of the ministers!

Ouyang Shu nodded and said, "This is also Wei Chen's speculation.

Zhao Jing hurriedly said in a hurry: Which minister is that? There are so many ministers in the DPRK and the central government, so you can't doubt every single one.

Ouyang Shu shook his head and said: If you want to investigate this matter, you still have to start with King Yan. After today's incident, King Yan will definitely go to that minister to discuss this matter, or that minister will take the initiative to find him. However, one thing is for sure, that minister should have a good status in the court, if the official is lowly, it is difficult to say that the king of Yan is moved!

Empress Meng thought so, and asked: Then how should we start investigating this matter?

Ouyang Shu said: Niangniang, have you forgotten that you have another power at hand that no one can match: the Imperial City Division!

Hearing the three words of the Imperial City Division, Empress Meng's face turned pale. This yamen left a bad impression on her. Four years ago, after the abolition turmoil, Zhao Xu handed over the case to the Imperial City Division for questioning, and the people of the Imperial City Division arrested almost all the people around Empress Meng and tortured them, and finally turned into a trick and deposed Empress Meng. This matter has always been a pain in Queen Meng's heart, and in the past few years, when she thought of the Imperial City Division, she gritted her teeth and hated it.

When Ouyang Shu saw Empress Meng's face, he knew that she remembered the unbearable things in the past, and hurriedly persuaded him: Niangniang, Weichen knows that you have a lot of trouble with the Imperial City Division. Weichen is actually the same, he doesn't have any good feelings for the Imperial City Division. In fact, a yamen like the Imperial City Division, who lives in the dark, really can't make people feel good. However, the existence of the Imperial City Division is meaningful, and it is even indispensable for the royal family, which Niangniang should also know.

Moreover, because of some of the things they had to do with Niangniang back then, the people of the Imperial City Division should be restless now. If Niangniang is too alienated or even suppresses them, they may instead throw themselves into King Yan for a fight. If that's the case, the mother will lose a lot because of a small loss. If the mother puts aside her prejudices and entrusts them with heavy responsibilities, they will be grateful and loyal, and they will get twice the result with half the effort.

I also hope that Niangniang can focus on the overall situation in the future, make good use of the yamen of the Imperial City Division, and use it to do good things for the people, which can be regarded as redeeming some of the sins it has created in the past.

Empress Meng's eyes were cloudy, and after a while, she finally sighed and said, "Since Aiqing said this, let's leave this matter to the Imperial City Division! A very pleasant dinner is finally over." But at the last moment of this meal, there was something that was not particularly pleasant, but this did not ruin Ouyang Shu's mood, because this unpleasantness had nothing to do with him.

The shopkeeper came to meet the account, and after calculating it, it was one hundred and twenty-six thousand five hundred and thirty dollars. Since money is generally calculated in thousands, this is actually equivalent to one hundred and twenty-six yuan.

Chenghui, give you a fraction, a total of one hundred and twenty thousand!" the shopkeeper smiled humbly. The two of them ate so much, it was simply one of the highest records in his store, and he had no reason to be unhappy about making such a big deal.

But Zhou Huai's face turned red, he was actually ready to let Ouyang Shu slaughter him today, but he still didn't expect to be slaughtered so ruthlessly. In his pocket, there are only two spindles and twenty taels of knocking wire, and according to the current exchange rate, it is only about ninety yuan. The store gave more than six dollars for free, so naturally it is impossible to be free again. That's about thirty percent left

The shopkeeper saw Zhou Huai's expression, understood everything, and immediately became displeased: Guest officer, I heard that you are the champion of the new department and a dignified court official, you shouldn't be able to afford even a meal, right?

Zhou Huai's handsome face was red and white, white and red, and it was wonderful. But Ouyang Shu spoke up very righteously: Shopkeeper, it's not good for you to talk to the champion like this!

The shopkeeper did not show weakness: Guest officer, my store is a small business, and I can't afford to eat overlord meals. Don't say that the champion asks for money to eat, even if the court's Zaifu, cardinal, or prince and princess come here to eat, they also have to give money. Otherwise, people with a little bit of identity will come here to fill the big tail wolf, eat and drink for nothing, and the small shop will have a small profit, how can they afford it!

Ouyang Shu said dissatisfiedly: Shopkeeper, you are far away. I'm just asking you to pay attention to the way you speak. As for your food money, the champion will not rely on you. It's just that you are a champion and nobleman, and it is inevitable that you will lose everything, he may not have brought enough money this time, or he has forgotten to bring money at all, can you still sell him for money? My meaning is simple, you talk well, there is always a way to solve it, isn't it? If both sides are as ruthless as you, everyone is busy enough to just sit here and be involved, how to solve the problem!

Ouyang Shu's words seemed to be impartial and full of truth, but they were also very insidious, because they completely cleared himself up, as if he was not one of them, but a reasonable intermediary.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he said: "What the guest officer said is also true!" Then he turned to Zhou Huai and said: Zhuangyuan Gong, the villain is a coarse person who is not very literate, I am close to Brother Kong Fang, full of copper smell, you Wenqu Xing is down to earth, a first-class character of the gods, but don't be surprised!

Zhou Huai's handsome face was adjusted to the pink color again, and this time it finally did not turn white again, but became more and more flushed, which simply had a bit of a charming taste: the shopkeeper is in business, and he has encountered a lot of things that are not in debt, and it is inevitable that he will be more careful, which is understandable!

In this way, after both sides take a step back, it is indeed much more convenient to speak.

Soon, the two sides reached an agreement based on the principles of friendship and mutual benefit, mutual assistance and mutual trust, and Xiao Er went home with Zhou Huai to withdraw the money, and the matter finally came to an end.

After Ouyang Shu and Zhou Huaiyi said goodbye, they went home. Today, there is one more thing in his heart, which must be understood, otherwise he will not be able to sleep at night.

As soon as he walked into the house, he saw that Liu Cong was there, and there was no one else around, and he thought that he had been separated for various reasons.

Liu Cong happened to be Ouyang Shu's heart disease, and when Ouyang Shu saw him, he naturally wouldn't have a good face. He smiled sarcastically at Liu Cong and said, "Are you waiting for me?"

A hint of shame flashed in Liu Cong's eyes. After all, since he entered the Li family's mansion, Ouyang Shu still trusted him very much, and treated him well. This is not to give him many fine wines, delicacies, gold, silver, jewelry, etc., but to treat him equally.

Although Zhou Huai is a subordinate, the interaction between Ouyang Shu and him can be regarded as equal. From his remarks, he could see that Ouyang Shu did not look down on these martial artists, and even respected them quite a lot. This kind of respect is very rare in today's society, which has reached a pathological level of emphasizing literature over military force. In fact, the former pavilion master Xu Jiang can be regarded as a very kind person, but some of his words and deeds are inevitably affected by the overall atmosphere of this era, and there is not much common language between Liu Cong and these people, let alone sit at the same table with Liu Cong to eat, let alone allow Liu Cong to peek at the Longyang between men.

But now it seems that the relationship between Liu Cong and Ouyang Shu is difficult to return to the old view, Ouyang Shu's tone is very unfamiliar, and the sense of distance is full. This can be heard by a smart and sensitive person like Liu Cong.

There was no emotional fluctuation in Liu Cong's eyes, he just nodded lightly and said, "Please also borrow a step to speak!"

Ouyang Shu smiled: I can't see a single figure around here, so why avoid people. Besides, your martial arts have reached the subtle realm, even if someone comes from afar, you can still see the fire, so why should we do this?

Liu Cong lowered his head and said, "Pavilion Master Xu is here!" Because of habit, he still praises the Pavilion Master as Xu.

Ouyang Shu was quite surprised. For a long time, the meeting between him and General Xu was that he took the initiative to go to the Xu family's house, and he never thought that General Xu would come to his house one day.
