Su Ruan listened to Qi Wenfu's words and raised his lips: "You won't." ”

Qi Wenfu frowned.

Su Ruan said: "When I was in Jingnan, I heard people talk about Lord Qi's past. ”

"At the age of sixteen, he entered the Hanlin Academy, and at the age of seventeen, he left Beijing to go to Anrong, pacified the Anrong bandits, and overthrew Sheng Honghai, the governor of the patrol."

"After returning to Beijing at the age of nineteen, Lord Qi entered the Ministry of Officials because of his outstanding political achievements, starting from the seventh-grade principal, and was promoted to the fourteenth rank in three years, and at the age of twenty-two, he was appointed as the waiter of the third-grade ministry."

"If there are smart people in the court, no one can compare to Lord Qi."

It's not that Qi Wenfu has never heard people praise him, and there are countless words of praise compared to this exaggeration, but inexplicably, listening to the little girl in front of him talking about his past, he faintly felt a little happy in his heart.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and then he remembered that the situation was not right now, and quickly pursed his lips to flatten the corners of his mouth, but the fierce color between his eyebrows was much lighter.

Su Ruan watched the changes in Qi Wenfu, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.

What's the matter, or so narcissistic?

Su Ruan suppressed the smile in her throat and continued:

"When Lord Qi was still in his last days, he dared to face difficulties against Sheng Honghai, and at that time, it was only because Sheng Honghai forcibly occupied Anrong Minnu."

"Sheng Honghai forced the woman's body, forcing her to hang herself, and her family sued Sheng Honghai to the government, and you refused to give up after receiving the paper, knowing that you were weak but still chasing after you, Sheng Honghai, who was two levels higher than your official and no one dared to touch, knocked down."

"Later, after you returned to the court, on the road to promotion in the ministry, you stepped on the bones of traitors in the court all the way."

"How can a person like you, who can't tolerate sand in his eyes, watch Jingnan after the great drought, because the DPRK and China are unable to provide disaster relief, villains are troubled, causing Jingnan to starve all over the wilderness, and the people are displaced and indifferent?"

When Su Ruan talked about Jing Nan's matter, the subtle smile faded, and his voice became a little hoarse.

"After you entered the Ministry of Officials, you had a good future, and everyone said that if you didn't make a mistake, you would definitely be able to worship the position of Shangshu before the age of thirty, but you suddenly left the court at the peak of your prime."

"I inquired with my eldest brother about Lord Qi, and he said that no one in the court knew why you left the ministry suddenly, but I vaguely heard rumors that you had a dispute with the emperor before you left the ministry."

"The emperor was angry, although you were allowed to leave the household department, but ordered you to be grounded in the palace for three months, and later the second assistant Nan Yuanshan came forward to intercede for you, which eased the relationship between the emperor and you, and the time of your dispute with the emperor happened to be shortly after the Jingnan incident."

"People in the court say that the reason why the emperor is angry is because you suddenly wanted to resign when you were in your prime, and the emperor ordered a reprimand when he didn't allow it."

"But if I'm not mistaken, Lord Qi shouldn't have wanted to resign at that time, but wanted the emperor to thoroughly investigate the corruption of the household department, as well as the fact that my father died in vain."

Su Ruan looked at him sideways:

"This matter is too widely implicated, far from being clear to a household department, and can empty the treasury, intercept the official ship transporting grain south, intercept and kill the governor of Jingnan, and force the dignified Xuanping Marquis not to speak, how can it be done by just one household department."

"There are countless important ministers in the court, royal relatives, and powerful relatives in Beijing, and although the emperor is in power, there are not no people in the court who are enough to threaten his imperial power."

"The emperor intended to suppress this matter and proceed step by step, but you refused, so it angered the emperor, but afterwards Nan Yuanshan interceded for you, and the emperor took pity on you so that he deliberately wanted to protect you, so he confused the reason for your resignation, and made people think that you were arrogant and looked down on the position of the servant of the ministry, so he left the ministry."

Qi Wenfu listened to the words in Su Ruan's mouth, and his heart shook.

What Su Nguyen said was not far from the truth, and although there were some nuances, they were almost the same.

But when he had a dispute with the emperor and forcibly wanted to investigate the corruption of the household department, only the emperor, Nan Yuanshan and him knew about it, and it was impossible for outsiders to know, let alone Su Ruan.

Qi Wenfu listened to Su Ruan's inference, looked at her closely and said coldly, "How did you know about this?" ”

Su Ruan raised his lips: "Guess." ”

Qi Wenfu, who originally thought that there was a spy by the emperor's side, almost didn't come up in one breath, and glared at him in a rare gaffe: "Guess?!" ”

Su Ruan nodded: "There are a lot of clues, aren't you, you are not a fool, how can you let a good official not do it, and go to do what the country is to oversee the wine, and the time is so coincidental." ”

"If Xie Yuan wanted to harm me and my mother, he wouldn't have brought us back to the capital, but he was secretive about Jingnan and kept silent, nine times out of ten he knew what the emperor meant, put the two things together, and it was not difficult to draw conclusions after a little extrapolation."

Qi Wenfu looked at Su Ruan with uncertain eyes:

"So you just relied on the words you inquired about, and with these speculations of yours, you speculated about the holy will and blew up your identity to lure me over? Aren't you afraid that you've guessed wrong? ”

Su Ruan said lightly: "But you are here, it proves that I guessed correctly, isn't it?" ”

Qi Wenfu is speechless.

Su Ruan said: "In this capital, there are only two kinds of people who will still pay attention to Jingnan's affairs after two years, one is the person who is afraid of what is in my father's hands, and the other is the person who tracks down the truth. ”

"My father used to work in the household department, and he once told me that he left Beijing not voluntarily, and when Jingnan was hit by the disaster, there was no one in the DPRK for a long time, and there was an accident on the way to transport grain, and there was a news that the Chinese treasury was empty, and the household department could not take out the silver, and my father obviously led people to defend the city to death, but he was burdened with the name of a criminal minister, so I knew that my father's death was not so simple."

"Half a year ago, my mother and I were suddenly chased and killed, and those people kept asking me to hand over what my father left behind, and Xie Yuan, who had a grudge against me for killing my father, suddenly came to Jingnan again, and protected it for a few months, I knew that someone in Beijing must have started to investigate, otherwise those people would not jump over the wall in a hurry and suddenly re-enter Jingnan."

"Since a thorough investigation has begun, there will definitely be changes in Jingzhong, and those who are related to the original incident will definitely not be able to sit still."

"No one who is connected with the book will keep me."

"And people who want to thoroughly investigate the truth of the year will definitely come to me."

Qi Wenfu listened to Su Ruan's words, the expression in his eyes changed, and after a long time, he said inexplicably:

"You're going to end up with that alone, have you ever thought about how risky it is for you to do this?"

"What if I wasn't here today, or if I wasn't as willing to stand up for this as you say I was? What do you do to protect yourself and the Xuanping Marquis Mansion? ”
