Gao Qing sat on the upper seat and looked coldly at the officials sitting below, "It's come to this point, you have all picked yourself up, don't let people catch the handle again!" The faces of the officials below are not very good, they are a little carried away, after all, they have accumulated for several dynasties and generations, and there have been no accidents in the past hundred years, they have become accustomed to this, and they have long lost their initial caution.

"What about the household?" Some officials are still not convinced, mainly because they are insatiable and have illusions, and the household department is their biggest pillar, and if they are dug up now, it will be difficult to take root in the future.

When Gao Qing heard this, he was extremely angry, and smashed a teacup down casually, splashing a splash, and his voice was high-pitched, "Put away your thoughts, no one is allowed to participate in this matter anymore, if you have dirty water in your hand, quickly splash it out for me." ”

Not to mention that Her Royal Highness the princess, who was burdened with the mandate of heaven, suddenly appeared and made them helpless, let's just say that the public anger caused by this incident was not something they could control.

Or he felt that he was too excited, so he spoke again: "The household department can't be saved, now, we have to do everything we can to not let Xiao Ye's people occupy the position of the household department." ”

Gathered in the middle of the night, the officials looked depressed, and Gao Qing also had a depression in his heart, "Can the man next to the princess find out?" ”

"Find out, his name is Seventeen, he is the boss of Zhangyunjian, he came to Kyoto three years to do business, and he didn't find any background, and the people at the city gate said that he accidentally saved the princess when he came back from a trip to the city tonight." A guard stepped forward and handed him the booklet in his arms, which was all the information about entering the house in the palm of the cloud, and he really didn't find anything special.

Gao Qing and Xiao Yedou are also equal in his life, how can he swallow this breath now, the booklet in his hand was torn to shreds in an instant, "Find him some trouble, let him stay in Kyoto, and then find a hidden place to let him disappear." His eyes revealed a fierceness, as if he was about to cut seventeen thousand knives.

When Yiren heard what happened to Shan Ce, he didn't feel good in his heart, the official rank of the household servant was also high, and he was not low, just because he still had a little bit of faith, and he didn't collude with them, so he ended up like this, his family was imprisoned, he was excluded in the officialdom, and all the Yulu used to open a school, not even a basic guarantee, and he was still wearing the old robes of a few years ago.

Shan Ce has long lost the enthusiasm of his youth, and said decadently: "I tried all kinds of methods to find my mother, and now I don't dare to hope for it, so let me have a heart before I die."

"I know where your mother is."

As soon as these words came out, the three of them all looked at Seventeen in shock, and Shan Ce stood up excitedly, and the movement was so loud that he knocked down the lotus pots on the table.

"Where? Where's my mother? "There is a man who has tears and does not flick, but he has not reached the sad place, and the mother he owes is probably the pain in his heart.

Seventeen pondered for a moment before saying, "Golden Bird Palace."

"What!" Shan Ce staggered a few steps and sat down on the ground, his face full of shock.

Yiren didn't expect it to be this place, the Golden Bird Hall they went together, the hall was full of beautiful young women, I didn't see any women and children, and I was a little suspicious, "Are you wrong?" ”

Seventeen frowned, "Your mother is small, with a navy blue scarf on her head, a bent back, and six fingers on her left hand. ”

"Yes, yes, it's her, she's not in good health, she hasn't sat well in confinement, she has a headache all year round, she can't blow a little wind, and she always wears a headscarf."

His father died early, and his mother pulled him up for his imperial examination, helping people to work day and night, leaving the root of the disease on his back and never being able to straighten up again, and because of the six fingers being rumored to be ominous, the mother and son had a very difficult time, so they hoped that he would get ahead and be a good official.

Although Xiao Yu'an had never been to the Golden Bird Palace, he had heard them talk about it, and he had a basic understanding, and when he saw that Seventeen was so sure, he was also a little puzzled, "How do you know?" ”

"She is small, I didn't pay attention to it, I noticed the young man next to her, the young man is about sixteen or seventeen years old, and his right foot is quite good, I only suspected it when I heard you say this today."

"How did you notice, why didn't I see it?" The two went to the Golden Finch Hall together, and she really didn't see such two people.

"Do you remember Mei Nu?"

She can't forget this, she still remembers that when she came out at noon on the second day, Yu Meinu collapsed on the ground with her clothes wide open, a thin layer of sweat on her body, and her eyes were blurred, she thought that this person was sick with something, and was about to step forward to ask, but she was caught off guard by a big hand blindfolded, and Seventeen grabbed her waist and dragged her out.

She didn't understand at the time, but when she saw Seventeen's cheeks crimson, and a pair of eyes dodging and not daring to look at her, she roughly understood that she was so confused that Seventeen ignored her all the way, but she didn't find anything wrong?

Seventeen also remembered the scene when he came out of the door, the roots of his ears turned crimson, he coughed lightly, and said unnaturally: "I also saw it when I came out, the young man brought firewood from a dark place in the distance, walked unnaturally, and his right foot was a little bit, and your mother sat by the stove and threw the firewood into the wall, and the fire was bright, so I could see her six fingers clearly."

No wonder the Golden Finch Hall is underground, but there is no darkness at all, and it is a little hot after staying for a long time.

"It's lame!" The painful look on Shan Ce's face was visible, and it seemed that he suddenly remembered something, he bowed back and said in horror: "I won't be silent, I won't expose it, as long as they can live, as long as they can live." said, as if he had lost his soul, and these few sentences were repeated over and over again.

He was determined to die, because he didn't know what was going on with his mother and his children, and even if his mother was seriously ill, they threatened him, and he thought they were dead, and now that he knew that they were still alive and suffering, he didn't dare to hope for anything more, and he compromised.

Xiao Yu'an didn't expect this person to compromise so easily, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, and he lifted the person up, "You said give up today, you let your mother be imprisoned for the rest of your life?" And your adopted son, aren't you afraid that he will hate you and look down on you in the future? Your mother provided you with education and made you an official, not a coward. ”

"Xiao Shizi!" It was a reminder to pay attention to proportion.

Xiao Yu'an heard her voice, calmed down instantly, condensed, and retreated to sit, he heard that he was going to give up, for some reason, anger arose spontaneously in his heart.

Shan Ce still sat on the ground, his eyes had returned to his senses, staring at a lotus seed at his feet, Xiao Yu'an's words gave him a slap in the face, no matter how hard and tired her mother was, she never said that he should give up his schoolwork and devote himself to the imperial examination as an official, his mother said that she had worked hard enough in this life, so she hoped that her son would be a good official for the rest of her life, so that more people could live better than her.

He got up, patted the dust on his body, and saluted the three of them, his face was gloomy, and there was a little more firmness, "Shan is ashamed, thank you for persuading." ”

"Master Shan doesn't have to be polite, your mother and adopted son will come back safely."

This is a promise, Shan Ce is grateful in his heart, and he doesn't know why a small study house is in charge, and he can make such a promise, even if it is comforting, it can make him feel half at ease.

The four of them sat around and discussed countermeasures, Xiao Yuanjun also sat in the middle room, listening to their conversation, his fingers unconsciously knocked on the edge of the teacup, remembering Xiao Yu'an's unwarranted anger just now, he smiled, shook his head, and drank all the water in the cup.
