After retiring from the dynasty, the first thing Murong Shi did when he returned to the house was to ask Gao Ling to inquire about the situation.

Check the origin of the person who entered Beijing to sue the emperor, how the gold mines over there are in Qinling, and what happened to the haunts. I was afraid that Mrs. Li had something to hide, so I sent someone to inquire about it.

Mrs. Li had never received any letter from Li Yuanzhong, only if Li Yuanzhong was still supervising the opening of gold mines in Qinling. Hearing such news, I couldn't help but feel weak for a while, and reluctantly comforted Gao Ling and said, "It's a mistake, right?" We've been extra careful not to be noticed! ”

His Highness also said that he had not heard anything. If there is such a thing, how can there be no rumors at all! ”

Everyone who was comforted by these words was relieved, they thought that they knew everything well, and the situation was in the palm of their hands, so no one felt that this matter was rushed to them.

It was only in the evening that Gao Ling returned to Murong Shidi's mansion in a panic, and said in shock: "Your Highness, it's us, it's us!" ”

Murong Shi was stunned and asked Gao Lingdao: "What are we?" You give me a breath before you speak. ”

"That Chang Gon is the county magistrate of Muping County, and he is suing us for the gold mine we opened in Qinling!" Gao Ling was at a loss and said: "The emperor has already sent someone to Qinling yesterday, and the little one is afraid, and now it's too late to say anything." ”

Murong Shi had been deliberately guarding against this matter before, but he didn't expect that it would really be sent out. How could it be! This matter was carefully discussed by Concubine Li and Duchess Yuguo, and she had noticed before that Mrs. Li's people were indeed very meticulous. How could there be a county order to come to Beijing to sue the royal court, and the people below didn't know at all, and they didn't even send the news to Luoyang?

Murong Shi couldn't sit still, stood up directly, and instructed Gao Ling: "Prepare the car, let's go to the Yuguo Mansion immediately!" When Murong Shi said this, he reminded Gao Ling very cautiously: "Don't use the car in the house, use an ordinary carriage, go through the back door, don't bring too many people, let's go quietly!" ”

Mrs. Li didn't know what was going on in Qinling, but after she heard about the private opening of the gold mine from Gao Ling, she immediately sent someone to contact Li Yuanzhong to inquire about the gold mine.

Unexpectedly, the person who inquired about the news didn't wait, but waited for Murong Shi, who was a light car.

As soon as Murong Shi entered the door, he didn't delay for half a minute, and at the same time asked people to invite Mrs. Li, he also invited Duke Yu Guo over.

Mrs. Li was very surprised by Murong Shi's arrival, and when she heard that the servants in the house had invited Duke Yuguo, her heart sank, and she asked Murong Shi, "Why is Your Highness here?" Isn't something really going on? ”

Murong Shi's face was solemn, he sat on the circle chair indifferently, and said coldly: "Third aunt, there is really something wrong over there in Qinling. ”

When Mrs. Li heard this, her heart was cold. She couldn't come back to her senses, and reluctantly smiled: "Something's wrong? What's wrong? How does this say? ”

Murong Shi said solemnly: "Chang Gon, who came to Beijing to sue the emperor, is really telling us about opening a gold mine. Third aunt, the person you sent is afraid that it will be planted! ”

Mrs. Li couldn't accept the reality, and shook her head again and again: "There can never be such a thing!" If something goes wrong, he'll definitely get the news back. This matter is infallible, how can it be discovered! ”

"There is indeed an accident over there, and your people were detected by Mu Pingzhi County and sent to prison. Third aunt, haven't you received any rumors? Murong Shi frowned unhappily when he said this.

Mrs. Li shook her head and replied in disbelief: "It's just because there is no news at all, no letter has come, and the news of the past few days has also said that the mining has been particularly smooth." What goes to prison, what Mu Pingzhi County. ”

Murong Shi's heart was slightly angry, his eyes showed a hint of coldness, he glanced at Mrs. Li and said, "Third aunt, you also know what kind of crime it is to be caught by the imperial court for digging gold mines privately. This matter still has to be discussed with Yu Guogong! ”

When Mrs. Li heard this, she became even more nervous, and vetoed it repeatedly: "This gold mine is originally my own business, why should I discuss it with Grandpa Guo?" Don't talk to him. Let's figure out a way...... What Muping County decree sued the royal complaint, let's send someone to get rid of him! There are also people from Qinling, I will send a letter to Li Yuanzhong and ask him to deal with all the people...... Who can find out about us? ”

Murong Shi's face was grim, and he reluctantly smiled and reminded Mrs. Li: "Third aunt, it's not that you can find out about us. I can't find out about the queen mother and me at all. It's too late for you to get rid of the people on the other side of Muping County and Qinling now. If you could grasp the news from Qinling as early as possible, why would you be so passive now? As soon as Chang Gon came out of Mu Ping, he could get rid of him. Now that people have entered Luoyang and have also faced the saint, it will be more troublesome to get rid of it at this time! ”

At this time, Yang Fu had already entered the door. When he saw Murong, he immediately saluted respectfully and said politely, "Why is the Seventh Highness here?" ”

Murong Shi frowned, and told Yang Fu all the things about her and Mrs. Li's private mining, the accident in the mine, and the county order of Muping County to enter Beijing to sue the emperor.

After listening to Murong Shi's words, Yang Fu's expression gradually sank, and he glanced at Mrs. Li with a gloomy look. Finally, he bowed his hand to Murong Shi and said ashamedly: "The insiders are really not like words, let His Royal Highness and the noble concubine Niangniang worry about it." Wechen will look at this matter, but please rest assured! ”

When Murong Shi heard Yang Fu say this, the smile on his face became genuine. He nodded and said politely: "Duke Yuguo, please rest assured, my mother and I will not sit idly by in this matter, regardless of the third aunt's." But in the end, the people under the third aunt are not worried, you and the third aunt must always have a charter for disposal, according to my will......"

Yang Fu smiled reluctantly, and then Murong Shi's words: "Yes, for today's plan, Weichen and the insiders will pretend not to know anything." Even if something comes out, it's the same, nothing is known. Your Highness, you and the concubine don't know anything! ”

Murong Shi was secretly satisfied in his heart, and suddenly understood why Emperor Yonghui was so reusing Yang Fu like this. This Yu Guogong is really too discerning and knowledgeable about current affairs!

Murong Shi smiled with Yang Fu, and said: "I can save it, and the matter will be done according to the will of Yu Guogong, this matter, none of us know!" ”

Yang Fu nodded, and when he saw Murong Shi, he looked like he was getting up and wanted to leave, and hurriedly greeted him and said, "Weichen sent His Royal Highness Seventh out of the door." ”

Murong Shi was stunned, and immediately bowed his head, and his smile became brighter. Out of the gate of the Yuguo Mansion, Murong Shi moved Yang Yuyan's mind for the first time.

Yang Fu is a person who can be counted on too much, and he can use it! It's just that although the Yuguo Mansion has Mrs. Li and Li Guifei there, in the eyes of others, the Yuguo Mansion has also turned into the power of his seven princes. But for Murong Shi, Yang Fu is still difficult to grasp. There is a considerable distance between him and the princes. Murong Shi didn't think that Yang Fu would turn around and become his power because of the relationship between Concubine Li and Mrs. Li.

Therefore, if you want to catch Yang Fu, ask to marry his daughter, and become a family with him is the best choice. But at present, Yang Qiqi is too chicken for Yang Fu, and the daughter left by his cousin's wife is not as good as Yang Yuyan's status in Yang Fu's mind.

But now let Murong Shi let go of Yang Qiqi, and Murong Shi can't do it at all. He urgently needs an opportunity to test which of Yang Yuyan and Yang Qiqi is more important in Yang Fu's mind.

When Murong was sent away, Yang Fu immediately returned to the main hall.

Mrs. Li had been with him for too long, and she knew Yang Fu's anger too well. On weekdays, anything that can make him open his mouth to reprimand immediately is not considered anger, and it will be solved with a simple hand. But this time it was different, Yang Fu sat there quietly and didn't say anything.

Mrs. Li drank half of the tea nervously and thirstily, and she didn't hear Yang Fu say a word.

"Guogong, sir! You ......"

Yang Fu "clanged" and put down the teacup in his hand. Warm tea spilled from the teacup. It was sprinkled on the table with a mahogany carved treasure flower.

"You're more daring now! Open a gold mine? If you lose the money from the grain and oil shop, where will you have the money to open a gold mine? Yang Fu raised his eyebrows, and his eyes were extremely sharp.

Mrs. Li was so frightened that her heart was pounding, and she explained helplessly: "The noble concubine Niangniang and the Seventh Highness both gave the concubine silver, and the money ......."

When Yang Fu heard this, he shouted directly: "Yufeng, go and let Li Kangping's family take the account books of Gongzhong." ”

When Mrs. Li heard this, her face turned green, and she immediately knelt on the ground in fright, and said tremblingly: "Master, master......"

Yang Fu looked at Mrs. Li's empty expression, and angrily slapped the table and said angrily: "I don't even have to think about it, I know that you have embezzled the silver from the Gongzhong!" How much did you move? ”

Mrs. Li timidly gestured a finger and whispered: "One hundred thousand taels, the concubine has moved one hundred thousand taels......"

When Yang Fu heard this, he was also furious, and raised his hand towards Mrs. Li suddenly, so frightened that Mrs. Li immediately fell to the ground in embarrassment, and said timidly: "Master! ”

Yang Fu's lips trembled, and in the end, he didn't slap down, but only returned to the circle chair, and said angrily: "You go back to me and think about it behind closed doors, don't interfere in this matter at all!" ”

Mrs. Li's lips turned white with fright, and she asked Yang Fu in a low voice, "Master, what are you going to do!" If you don't talk to your concubine, you want your concubine to ......."

Yang Fu was furious, "What are you going to do?" What else do you have to do? More than one million taels of silver, not to mention being beaten by you, and now you have caused this murderous thing! What else do you want to do? ”

Mrs. Li cried a handful of snot and tears, and did not dare to say anything more.

Yang Fu stood up directly angrily and walked out of the room with his hands in his hands.

Li Kangping's family naturally heard the movement, and when they saw Yang Fu going out in anger, they directly stepped forward to support Mrs. Li and said, "Madam, what's the matter?" ”

Mrs. Li gritted her teeth and said, "You go find someone for me, and ask for the life of that Chang Gon's dog!" ”
