Chapter 158: Knowing the face but not the heart
Xiao Huai'an was indeed in a hurry today, but he was not so stupid as to come out directly to testify against Xu Rulie without conclusive evidence, but now that he looks like this, he is afraid that he and these three people will inadvertently meet and talk at the intersection of Changjie, and they are all arranged.
Xiao Lizi breathed a sigh of relief, and collected all those famous schools in the past and put them in front of the emperor, the emperor glanced at it roughly, just the hands of these three people took out, at least a few hundred taels, according to the Yulu of a few guards, they may not be able to save so much for more than ten years.
The silver ticket must have been bribed and given by others, but it may not have been taken out of Xiao Huai'an's hands.
"Bastard!" The emperor's eyes rolled and slapped on the desk, and Xiao Huaian immediately knelt down on one knee with his fists clenched. "Your Majesty is angry, and please ask Your Majesty to be aware that all the financial details of Wechen's family are all recorded, and Wechen does not have so much surplus, so he uses it to buy others."
The financial details, income and expenditure, are usually taken care of by the housekeeper at home, and after Xiao Huai'an married his wife, he handed it over to Su Jiao alone, he said it so clearly, he kept saying that there was no surplus, although it could prove his innocence, but it was enough to make people laugh.
As soon as these words came out, the emperor really believed a little, but Xu Rulie endured the ridicule in his heart, worried that the emperor would really believe it, and hurriedly added another sentence.
"Lord Xiao's words are inappropriate, you are talking to the official position now, but it makes people think that your father treats you slowly, even if you have a record of your daily fortune, hasn't your father rewarded you with anything next to you? Will you also record this clearly? ”
"Your Majesty's grace, you should be more meticulous than Yulu." Xiao Huai'an slanted his eyes and glanced at him lightly, afraid that he would expect him to ask such a question, and he was almost confident in his heart.
"You!" Xu Rulie was almost so angry that he gritted his teeth, the account books of all big families are vague, and no one may be able to drag it clean, but Xiao Huaian can be so sure that he can still sit in this position, how can he not make people angry.
The three guards below didn't expect Xiao Huai'an to get rid of his money so easily, and they were all shocked and trembled slightly.
In the end, it is the first time to do this kind of thing, and there must be no experience, the emperor has gone through vicissitudes of life, has seen a lot, sits in the upper position, and gently sweeps the situation below, and suddenly knows what it means.
"That's enough." The emperor cleared his throat, in order to avoid the matter from continuing to make trouble and lose the royal face, it was better to stop it in time at this time.
"I Daze can have today, it is the joint efforts of the ancestors and heroes, although it has been peaceful for a while, you are so noisy, accusing each other, but people think that I am separated from the royal family and hundreds of officials, and let people see jokes."
"Your Majesty is angry." Hearing that the emperor seemed to be really about to lose his temper, the three people in the hall bowed their heads one after another.
Looking at the ground with everyone's eyes, the emperor's eyes stayed on Xu Rulie for a moment, but he didn't say anything after all.
"Regardless of whether this matter is instigated by someone behind it or has been planned for a long time, it will inevitably lose royal face, and there is no need to mention this matter in the future. In order to show justice, the trivial matters will be handed over to the lieutenant and the criminal department, and the two of you will go back first to meditate on your mistakes. ”
The emperor straightened his back, some things were not that he deliberately wanted to bury the truth, but the situation and mood were different, and he could no longer go his own way like when he was a teenager, and he had to take care of the overall situation, so he had to make a hazy round and expose the matter.
"Yes." The three of them agreed, and although the captain was not willing to trouble, he was helpless.
"It's just that the three of you first climbed the three highnesses and then were suspected of slandering Yushi Zhongcheng, and finally couldn't keep you, you should each go back to your hometown, and in the future, these three families and three generations of heirs will not be allowed to be hired."
According to the rules, anyone who climbed the royal private affairs usually did not have a good result, and was either executed or sent to the border.
Today, the emperor is mainly worried that if the news spreads, the people will think that the royal family is cowardly, so he has to spare their lives, and being able to return to their hometown is already the best result.
After hearing this, the three of them sighed in their hearts, but they didn't dare to beg for mercy more, and they retreated one after another. Although Xiao Huai'an was not angry in his heart, he was also very ashamed that he was beating geese every year, and today he pecked the geese, and he didn't even hear what the emperor said to appease and release the envoys, and he followed the Taiwei out of the palace gate in a daze.
"Lord Xiao is young and frivolous, and he can also afford to take the responsibility of failure, and the officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee are all impressed even if they look envious and jealous in their hearts,"
It was the doctor who held his hand, because his carriage had not yet come, and seeing that Xiao Huai'an looked like he was hit again, he reluctantly comforted him and enlightened him.
"But adults must know that now you are also a person to worry about, and you can't do it as casually as you used to, otherwise who will be called to do something in secret, but it's not just a matter of you."
"So Lord Taiwei has changed from the beginning to the way he is now, is it also because of some concern in his heart?" Xiao Huai'an raised his head, and his eyes, which were still straight just now, suddenly regained their former brilliance at this time, and the doctor was stunned.
I thought that Xiao Huai'an had been distracted, and it was the doctor who would say a few words, but I didn't expect him to listen to it all, and the doctor suddenly felt a burst of shame and turned around expressionlessly.
"It turns out that the adult is not necessarily sad at all, but the official has done something more, so Lord Xiao will be the official and say nothing."
"Xia Guan has always admired the heroic deeds of Lord Taiwei, but he doesn't understand why Lord Taiwei has become the way he is. But today, it turns out that the adults still have a warm stomach for the ancient way, so today's events, did the adults have already expected it, so they will say to the lower officials. ”
As a celebrity who the emperor particularly trusts, Xiao Huai'an rarely puts down his body in front of others, this is the doctor Tai Lieutenant, one of the people he sincerely admires.
After hearing this, it was the doctor who stiffened his upper body and turned an angle slightly, nodded to Xiao Huai'an, and turned around again. "There are some things, Lord Xiao better not ask too much detail. It is not necessary to rely on the eyes and ears for everything, but only on how the individual thinks. When the official's carriage arrived, he did not accompany him first, and then he took his leave. ”
The young lieutenant who was so surprised at the beginning was the only person who could go hand in hand with the most high-spirited emperor and walked together, but now he is only silent, running left and right by the carriage, which really makes people want to sigh for the twilight of a beauty, but it is not in line with reality.
Xiao Huai'an looked at the sigh in his heart, and waited for the guard guarding the door to lead the horse over, and then prepared to leave, but he never thought that he would turn a street corner, and he saw Xu Ruzhu, and pulled Younosuke over with him.
"Huh-" Xiao Huai'an's eyes widened, almost thinking that he had recognized the wrong person, and he stopped the horse in time to be sure, but at the same time, he was a little puzzled.
"It's not early at this moment, the Fifth Prince and Lord You are so interested, and some are in the mood to relax on these streets?"
"If we don't think we can see it as much as Lord Xiao, His Royal Highness has already heard about the matter in the palace just now, Lord Xiao will never frame others, but today he fell for my third emperor brother."
Xu Ruzhu politely greeted Xiao Huai'an, but what he said made people feel that he was sneering. Xiao Huai'an didn't answer, only looked at Yunosuke next to him.
Most of the Yunosuke on weekdays are reckless, superficial people who are happy and angry, but looking into his eyes today, it is difficult to guess what he thinks.
"Last time, in order to get out of trouble, the foreign minister specially asked to go to Lord Xiao's house, and thanks to Lord Xiao's help, we were able to get rid of suspicion, but I don't know what Lord Xiao considered, we came here this time because we sincerely wanted to be with the Daze Federation, if we can get Lord Xiao's help, we will be like a tiger with wings."
"As the retainer at the top of the Wen family's generation, the You family can sit firmly in this position, Lord You is really worthy of the son of Prime Minister Youzhiping, such a disguised ability, actually deceived me up and down."
Yunosuke looked calm and relaxed, and just now in the main hall, Xiao Huai'an was almost reprimanded because of the affairs of the Japanese country, and when he heard him speak like this, it was a bit like a faint threat.
The corners of Xiao Huai'an's mouth hooked up an indifferent smile, and his eyes narrowed dangerously. Younosuke on the other side hurriedly waved his hand, "Lord Xiao, don't say that, you can stay in the court for a long time, who doesn't have two faces, it's just that the foreign minister came over and only had a little friendship with the five princes, and he didn't know much about Lord Xiao, so naturally he didn't dare to expose himself, Lord Xiao must not blame." ”
"Lord You's words, but it's not wrong to speak from the heart." After hearing this, Xiao Huai'an rolled his eyes, raised his head again, and actually agreed for the first time.
"Since it is beneficial to both you and me, this official naturally has no reason to refuse, but I don't know what kind of sincerity Lord You can show when he says that he wants to cooperate with this official?"
"Lord Xiao is really a clear-minded person," Yunosuke smiled and clapped his hands happily.
"There is one thing, Lord Xiao must be the most earnest to know the truth now. Those three guards were able to suddenly overturn the testimony in front of His Majesty Emperor Daze and bite back the adult, although they were unsuccessful, but the people behind them, would they let them go as easily as His Majesty the Emperor. ”
"Understood, the Fifth Prince and Lord You are thoughtful, so please lead the way." Xiao Huai'an raised his chin, he had just come out of the palace, and he had so many thoughts in his heart that he almost forgot.
Since the two of them took the initiative to come to the door and wanted to form an alliance, in order to get rid of the current predicament of being constrained by Xu Rulie, they could agree to it in vain.
