Chapter 213: The Medium Plan (II)
In the early dynasty, the Chinese military officials of the DPRK first waited outside the court, and dozens of ministers wearing vermilion court clothes gathered in groups to talk and laugh, which was the norm every morning, but today everyone is talking about Lu Huilin's corruption and imprisonment for tax corruption, and even worse, hiding in the corner from Lu Huilin to the Lu family, and from the Lu family to Xiao Ying.
Xiao Zhen stood at the forefront of the ministers, standing beside him Shangshu Province Shangshu Ling Pei Fengzhi, two servants of Shangshu Province, and the four of them were also laughing, but while laughing, they pricked up their ears and listened to how others talked about Lu Huilin.
The ministers were talking about it, and suddenly saw Xiao Ying arrive, a little humble and timid, you look at me, I look at you, they all shut up and stopped talking, as for those who are high and powerful, they are naturally still whispering.
However, the whispers finally came out, Xiao Ying naturally heard everything, at first I heard that they were only pointing at Lu Huilin, Xiao Ying endured it, because Zhu Jian and Yu Taifu both told him that the person who was imprisoned for tax corruption this time was Lu Huilin, not him King Linchuan, so when others regarded Lu Huilin as a laughing stock for talking about it, he must be calm.
Unexpectedly, those who had a slightly lower official position saw Xiao Ying'an standing quietly, and seemed to be unaffected at all, so they continued to discuss, but this time they were talking about whether Duzhishangshu was corrupt and tax, whether it was instigated by the king of Linchuan.
Xiao Ying, who was standing in front of him, had been listening, and when he heard this, he suddenly couldn't hold it down, and immediately turned around and wanted to rush over, but he only took two steps, and was dragged by a person from behind to grab his arm, he turned around angrily and looked around, only to see that it was his father-in-law, Xun Boyu, a regular attendant of Jishu Province.
Xiao Ying looked surprised, and at this time, Xun Boyu also let go of his hand and said: "The Qing is self-purifying, if His Royal Highness has nothing to do with this matter, he doesn't need to pay attention to what others say." ”
Xun Boyu was completely expressionless when he spoke, but there was a chill in his eyes, which seemed to remind Xiao Ying, but in fact, it seemed to be interrogating Xiao Ying, and Xiao Ying was really uneasy to see, so his eyes flickered, and he didn't dare to look at him, and then he cleared his throat, with a trace of nervousness and uneasiness in his gestures, saying that it was ugly, this is a weak heart.
"What Yuezhang said is that this king knows," Xiao Ying said casually, using this to perfunctory Xun Boyu, but Xun Boyu was originally an old Jianghu, and he was only able to "remind" him, just to test Xiao Ying, but now seeing him with such an uneasy look, he has a bottom in his heart.
Although his daughter married Xiao Ying as the princess of Linchuan, even though the Yingchuan Xun family had this nepotistic relationship with the Linchuan Palace, the Xun family was in the court, and they had never helped Xiao Ying in the past five years.
Because Xiao Ying was incompetent and had never treated his wife and children well, when his two-year-old grandson died of a serious illness five years ago, Xiao Ying accompanied his concubine to hunt deer in Zhongshan, and since then, the Xun family has been dead to him.
Now that Xiao Ying was involved in Lu Huilin's tax corruption case, Xun Boyu was not surprised at all.
At this time, the few petty officials who were talking about Xiao Ying saw that Xiao Ying was going to come over to settle the account, so they hurriedly stopped their mouths, did their duty, and stood back honestly.
At this time, Xiao Ye had also rushed outside the court, and saw Xiao Ying holding the jade wat in both hands, standing quietly in front of him, his face was longer than a horse, and he did not have the arrogance of the past, so he also said cool words, looked at him, and teased: "Yo, the third brother came quite early today, I used to see you, but you were the last." ”
Xiao Ying glanced at Xiao Ye sideways, but did not speak, Xiao Ye then deliberately said: "Why is the third brother pulling his face, but if there is anything to worry about, I will say it and call my brother I... Happy, happy. ”
Zheng Hui also followed behind Xiao Ye with a wat board, and when he heard Xiao Ye's words, he deliberately laughed, Xiao Ying was particularly annoyed, but he didn't dare to lie it, so he glanced at Xiao Ye again, this time, Xiao Ye intensified, and said without hesitation: "I look at the third brother, I think it's because I'm worried about Lu Huilin's affairs, oh no... It's worried, worried that Lu Huilin will confess the mastermind behind the scenes. ”
Xiao Ying glared at Xiao Ye sideways, gritted her teeth and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
"What do you mean?" Xiao Ye turned his head and smiled at Zheng Hui, then replied to Xiao Ying, and sneered: "We all have acquaintances in the Imperial Authority, third brother rest assured, Zheng Hui will look at my younger brother and my face, and take care of Lu Huilin." ”
In the face of Xiao Ye's provocation, Xiao Ying finally couldn't bear it anymore, clenched her fists at the moment, and slammed Xiao Ye's cheek without saying a word, Xiao Ye didn't react, Xiao Zhen next to him walked three or four steps, and raised his hand to catch the punch for Xiao Ye.
After all, Xiao Ye is not practicing martial arts, although he is not powerless, but in the end he is just a weak scholar, and when he reacted now, he was so frightened that he hurriedly took two steps back, but he was still stupid and stupid.
"It's all my own brothers, if you have something to say, why bother to do it," Xiao Ying held Xiao Ying's fist, Xiao Ying listened, even if he couldn't get angry, he had to endure this evil breath, so he broke free and withdrew his hand, but all the civil and military officials turned their eyes, obviously seeing the scene where Xiao Ying was angry and wanted to do something to Xiao Ye, although he didn't dare to talk about it anymore, he was also thinking about it in his heart.
And Xiao Ye also knew that he was embarrassed and embarrassed, only blaming himself for not being good at dancing knives and guns, and unable to fight alone with Xiao Ying, he pretended to be calm again, and then snorted coldly at Xiao Ying, and then turned around with his sleeves and turned his back to him, pretending to be generous and not caring about it.
Xiao Ying then snorted coldly, and then turned around, the brothers were in a posture of incompatibility, Xiao Zhen glanced at the hundred officials gathered in groups of three or five, and saw that everyone's eyes were here, so he took out the posture of the crown prince to avoid suspicion, and said: "Okay, okay, wait for the ranks, the time has come, it's time to call the palace." ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw the inner eunuch bowing out of the hall from the front and announcing the summons, and the ministers listed the order of official titles and walked towards the court together.
Today's morning dynasty is only half an hour at most, except for the flood in Jin'an County, there is nothing to do, but Xiao Daocheng does not leave the matter of severely punishing corrupt officials and corrupt officials, which really makes Xiao Ying panic.
After the early dynasty, Xiao Ying didn't even care about the palace, and hurriedly took the ox cart to the Taifu Yu Yuangui Mansion, the ox cart drove to the door of the Taifu Mansion, Xiao Ying and Zhu Jian walked to the front steps of the mansion one after the other, and before they had time to order the gatekeeper to enter the house, they happened to see Yu Yuangui coming out of it, and he was also walking quickly, looking hurried, and taking a closer look, he was still holding a letter in his hanging hand, which was covered by wide sleeves and could only see a corner.
