King Kang was beaten, and this matter seemed to be over.

In the case of burying medicine in Chengyuan Palace, there were occasional voices of discussion among the people, but no one in the court mentioned it again.

It seems that the capital has returned to its former state.

Except for the addition of King Kang.

On this day, the routine political discussion ended, Lou Yan packed up the chapter and paperwork and quit the palace.

Halfway through, I met Xue Shangshu from the Criminal Department.

Today is a small court meeting, only a few ministers and officials from various ministries participated, Lou Yan has the lowest official position and does the most work, so he stays until the end.

Under normal circumstances, Xue Shangshu would have returned to the yamen office a long time ago.

"Lord Xue." Lou Yan saluted him.

Xue Shangshu smiled: "It's Lou Tongzheng, it's such a coincidence, let's go together?" ”

People clearly came to block him, could he still refuse?

Lou Yan nodded: "Yes." ”

The little chamberlain who led the way was sent away by Xue Shangshu, and Xue Shangshu opened his mouth and asked, "You haven't seen King Kang yet, have you?" ”

I've seen this, of course, it's not literal, King Kang has been back for so many days, and there are still some face-to-face photos. It's just that it will not be easy to enter the door of King Kang's mansion or say a few words to King Kang.

Lou Yan smiled: "Xiaguan is just a small general government, where do you dare to disturb His Royal Highness King Kang?" ”

Xue Shangshu couldn't help but be anxious when he saw that he didn't care.

This Lou Si, who previously praised him for being an official, why can't this matter turn a corner.

He said bluntly: "You provoked this matter, aren't you afraid that King Kang's Mansion will make a deal for you?" ”

His Royal Highness King Kang is not a good person.

"Thank you, Lord Xue, for reminding me." Lou Yan arched his hand, "But the lower officials also act according to the rules, presumably King Kang can understand." ”

Seeing that he didn't listen to persuasion, Xue Shangshu was so angry that no one was staring, he lowered his voice and reprimanded: "What are you pretending to be stupid in front of the old man?" Is King Kang such a person? You don't know the bloody wind and rain of the previous years......"

Speaking of this, he had palpitations.

Four years ago, the court and the central government were cleaned up, and some of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty took their posts and returned to their hometowns, some were sent to prison and beheaded, and some lost their lives in a daze......

Lou Si's father-in-law, who didn't have a chance to see him, didn't he die like this?

This kid, it's not a good idea! If he hadn't been his boss for a few years, he couldn't bear to lose his life, so why bother to mention it?

"You......" Xue Shangshu wanted to say a few words to him, but before he opened his mouth, he saw someone coming this way.

"Xue Shangshu, Lou Tongzheng." An old chamberlain approached and saluted them with a smile.

Xue Shangshu recognized him as the person next to King Kang, his heart tightened, and he replied with a smile: "It turned out to be Gonggong Ji, come to see Your Majesty here?" ”

"Not really." Gonggong Ji waved his hand, and then bowed slightly to Lou Yan, "The slave maid was ordered by the prince to invite Lou Tongzheng." ”

The smile on Xue Shangshu's face froze. No way? Revenge is coming so soon?

Lou Yan was calm, in front of the secretary of the criminal department, he touched a silver ticket and handed it over: "Please also ask my father-in-law for guidance, His Royal Highness King Kang summoned the lower officials, what is the matter?" ”

Gonggong Ji confiscated it, still with a humble expression, and replied: "The slave and maid are just a subordinate, how can you know about the prince's affairs?" Lou Tongzheng went, didn't you know? ”

Lou Yan nodded, took back the silver ticket with his hand, and stretched out his hand: "There is Gonggong Lao to lead the way." ”

He was so trouble-free, Gonggong Ji smiled with a smile on his face, and saluted respectfully: "Please." ”

Xue Shangshu was even more anxious.

There is no waiter who does not love money, and refuses to accept money, which means that it is not a good thing.

He couldn't help but stop: "Lou Si ......"

Lou Yan stopped and arched his hand to him: "Say goodbye first." ”

After that, he followed Gonggong Ji out of Zhengyangmen.

Xue Shangshu watched him get into the car of King Kang's mansion, and had no choice but to go back to the yamen of the Criminal Department.

Lou Si won't have an accident, right? But King Kang told him to go like this, and he couldn't stop him! Forget it, this kid doesn't care about himself, he's in a hurry, there are so many official duties to do!

Putting this matter aside for the time being, Xue Shangshu put his energy into business.

When he finished approving the dossier, it was already time to go down, Xue Shangshu thought about it and called Changsui: "You go to the Tongzheng Department to see, Lou Tongzheng has returned." ”

The chief went away in response, and after a short time, he came back and said, "Not yet." ”

Xue Shangshu asked unrelentingly: "Did you come back and go out again, or did you go to King Kang's Mansion and didn't come back?" ”

Chang replied: "The people from the General Administration Department said that Lord Lou has not returned. ”

Xue Shangshu couldn't help but slam the table: "This building four!" ”

It's over, it must have been detained by King Kang.

But what can he do? and they can't come to the door to ask for people.

Lou Yan has been a man under him for three years, and there is a love for incense, but he didn't get that share when he asked him to take his own future for this kid.

Xue Shangshu turned around a few times, and when he saw the people from the Hanlin Academy passing by, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he called out to someone: "Lord Lu!" ”

Lu Kang stopped and gave him a strange look.

I don't have much friendship with this Xue Shangshu.

"It turned out to be Lord Xue." Lu Kang Shili.

Xue Shangshu took two steps back, avoided the flow of people, and said with a smile: "Lord Lu, is this a subordinate to go home?" ”

Lu Kang nodded: "Yes!" ”

Xue Shangshu didn't let him guess, and said directly: "I heard that Lou Tongzheng is familiar with you?" ”

Lu Kang smiled: "Xia Guan has studied in the Boundless Sea Pavilion, so it can be regarded as a friendship of the same family." ”

Xue Shangshu boasted: "Lou Tongzheng is really capable now, Your Majesty doesn't say anything, even King Kang called him over." ”

Lu Kang smiled.

But I heard him continue: "The discussion is over in the morning, and it's not yet noon, right? I didn't come back all afternoon, and it seems that the conversation is very speculative! ”

Lu Kang glanced at him, smiled again, and saluted him: "I suddenly remembered that there was an urgent matter at home, so I will invite Master Xue to tea another day." ”

Xue Shangshu touched his beard with satisfaction: "Go ahead, the official won't delay you." ”

Lu Kang gave another salute and walked quickly to the corner of the street, and sure enough, he saw Lou Yan's little servant waiting there.

"Lord Lu?" The cold light saw him.

Lu Kang nodded, walked over and whispered, "Do you know that your son-in-law went to King Kang's Mansion?" ”

Han Deng's face changed: "What? ”

"After discussing politics in the morning, I was called by King Kang, and I haven't returned yet."

Han Deng threw the reins, raised his feet and ran towards the Yamen of the General Administration, and after a while, Gao Can came back with him.

He hurriedly saluted Lu Kang: "Lord Lu, I'll go back and report the news first." ”

Then he turned over and got on his horse, and soon ran away.

Gao Can didn't follow, and asked Lu Kang instead: "Lord Lu, can you please come to the palace and inform Your Majesty of this?" ”

Lu Kang said: "It's okay to enter the palace, but just tell Your Majesty like this, it may not be appropriate." ”

Gao Can said: "My family is very dangerous now, it is important to save my life, and I will talk about whether it is suitable or not." ”

Lu Kang thought for a while: "Don't worry, I'll act when I have the opportunity." ”
