Chu Lixue looked the middle-aged man up and down, the man was fat, with a flatbread-like face, a pair of smiling eyes, and said to Chu Lixue with a smile: "Niangniang doesn't need to send someone to invite, the grass people have money, I've seen Niangniang!" ”

"You're the money?" Chu Lixue's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Exactly, mother."

"You opened the Leshan Hall?"

"That's right, because of Lord Lu's latest calligraphy and painting, for some sundries in the town, the grass people will ask the master to do it for them." Qian Jin said lightly.

"Do you ask the master to do it for you? Who gave you the right? Chu Lixue slapped Tang Mu and said angrily.

"Of course, it's Lord Lu who is in trouble, the queen mother, the grass people know the laws of the imperial court, and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the mother really shouldn't come to the court to show her face." Qian Jin said proudly.

Looking at Qian Jin's face, Chu Lixue really wanted to let people beat him a few boards to get angry, but she had to suppress the fire now, otherwise how could she let him finish singing?

"This palace is patrolling the heavens today, and it is the emperor who is sitting in this hall today, and this palace is just doing the emperor's business. Could it be that you have an opinion on the emperor's arrangement? Chu Lixue raised her eyebrows and said.

"I don't dare, it's just that Leshantang has been helping Lord Linlu deal with small things, if you are sealed, if this person has something, how should you deal with it." In the opinion of the grass people, it is still ......"

"Or what?" A loud male voice sounded behind Qian Jin.

Chu Lixue looked around, and what she saw turned out to be Nangong Yihan's figure, everyone raised their eyes, Qian Jin frowned slightly, the man in front of him walked like a tiger, his bearing was extraordinary, he dared to break into the court, and he was not an ordinary person.

"The concubines see the emperor." Chu Lixue saluted respectfully.

"The queen is flat, and the queen has really worked hard to pay a private visit for me." Nangong Yihan said with a smile.

"It's nothing, this is what a concubine should do." Chu Lixue smiled lightly.

This kind of thing is normal for outsiders to see, but the people who have been with Nangong Yihan and Chu Lixue for a long time don't look so used to it, they have long been used to the queen's husband, and the emperor's wife, such an affectionate title, suddenly so respectful, it is indeed a little unaccustomed.

Since Nangong Yihan had arrived, Chu Lixue naturally had no need to sit in the position of the chief judge, and then stepped aside and asked Ning Xiang to move a chair for herself.

Nangong Yihan's sudden arrival made Lu Ji frightened, and he knelt on the ground with a puff and shivered. He is an official who spent money when Nangong Anyi was the emperor, let alone a trial, and he didn't even know a few big characters, if the emperor knew about it, then his official position was not guaranteed, and it was difficult to say whether his life could be saved.

"Qian Jin, you don't seem to have finished talking just now, you go on." Nangong Yihan is so good that he can take a while.

"Your Majesty, do you want to say it, or ......, or let Master Zhang help Master Lu a lot, so that Lord Lu doesn't have to work so hard." Qian Jinyu said with a smile.

"Oh? I see, I thought you wanted to keep Leshantang. Since you don't think you need to keep Leshantang, it's better to let Leshantang be a pharmacy. Nangong Yihan said lightly.

Hearing this, Qian Jin really gritted his teeth, a queen is already a difficult character to deal with, and now there is another emperor, so he naturally wants to save his life.

Nangong Yihan saw that Qian Jin didn't have anything to say, and swept his cold eyes towards Lu Ji, "Lu Ji, are you guilty?" ”

"Back to ...... Return...... Your Majesty, Weichen has confessed his guilt and begged the emperor to spare his life. Lu Ji kept kowtowing.

"Guilty? Tell me, what did you do wrong? "Nangong Yihan is so tidy.

Hearing this, Lu Ji knelt on the ground, counting the crimes he had committed with his fingers, he really didn't know what to say and what not to say. If the emperor already knew something, he didn't say it, it would be a crime of defrauding the king, but if the emperor didn't know about it, and he recruited all of them, it would be a crime of one more degree.

For a long time, he didn't see Lu Ji say a word, Nangong Yihan was also a little impatient, but as long as he saw Chu Lixue, his heart was much more comfortable, he hurried a few days to get here, he thought that he would see Chu Lixue when he arrived at the inn, but he didn't expect that the guests in the inn were saying that the queen was trying the case of the boss behind the scenes of Leshantang in the public court, and he couldn't wait to rush over.

"Haven't you figured it out yet? Do you want me to tell you the number of piles and pieces? Nangong Yihan said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, Weichen should die, Weichen should die, Weichen has done a lot of wrong things, I don't know which one you are talking about, Your Majesty?" Lu Ji looked up and said aggrievedly.

Hearing Lu Ji ask, Chu Lixue burst out laughing, I really didn't expect that such a stupid person could be an official, if the officials of Beichen were like him, then there would be no hope for the country of Beichen.

"Lu Ji, you ......" Nangong Yihan was speechless by this Lu Ji. I even asked myself what he did wrong.

Chu Lixue saw that Nangong was cold and angry, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, since Lord Lu doesn't know where to start, it's better to let the concubines ask on your behalf, so that Lord Lu can answer." ”

"Well, that's good, that's good, Your Majesty, the queen's way is very good, so let's do it." Lu Ji looked at Nangong Yihan expectantly, and when he saw Nangong Yihan bowing slightly, he looked at Chu Lixue with a smile.

At this time, Chu Lixue is timely rain in Lu Ji's heart, so that if you ask questions, you will be answered, and you will not make mistakes. I have to say that Lu Ji thinks beautifully, but the reality is very cruel, Chu Lixue is not the timely rain who relieved his urgent needs, but the executioner who sent him to the guillotine.

"Lu Ji, this palace asks you, what year did you participate in the scientific expedition? How many places are they? ”

"Hui Niangniang, Weichen is the official position that was bought for two years of comfort and spent 50,000 taels of silver, and he has never participated in the imperial examination, only those who are poor and sour will study hard, as long as I have money, I can be an official." Lu Ji said proudly.

Poor acid? This Lu Ji actually looks down on scholars, although the master is not a member of the court, but they are at least all talented, if it is not that the family has no money, how can he be a master for others? Come to think of it, Zhang Qing's refusal to assist him in doing a good job of the county order is probably related to his despises on scholars.

"Oh? It's simple. Then who did you buy the official from? Chu Lixue continued to ask with a smile.

"Weichen was bought from the original servant of the ministry, that is, the current secretary of the ministry, Ding Yi." Lu Ji said with a smile.

He liked the tone of the queen's questioning very much, as if he was gossiping, and, in Lu Ji's opinion, these questions had nothing to do with what he had done wrong, and he slowly let down his guard.

"Oh. I see. How long has Lord Lu been here as a prefectural magistrate? Chu Lixue asked again.

"It's been almost five years."

Hearing this, Chu Lixue really felt sorry for the people here, but she really didn't expect that the people here had been oppressed by the wicked for five years. Ding Yi, when the secretary was implicated because of the Bai family's affairs, the emperor thought that he was familiar with the affairs of the ministry, so he immediately asked him to take over the ministry first, and he didn't know how much money Ding Yi had earned from buying and selling official positions in the past two years.

It's no wonder that he dared to have someone assassinate him in the city near Bisong Villa before. This person is really bold, as for Ding Ruolan, this woman, Chu Lixue still knows something about her, she is very good friends with everyone on weekdays, although she is a third-grade Shuyi, she has never bullied a concubine with a lower rank than herself, but she is kind to everyone. Now that I think about it, this Ding Ruolan is really hidden deep enough.

Nangong Yihan understood what Chu Lixue was thinking by asking this, she wanted to go from shallow to deep, and let Lu Ji tell the corruption of some officials in the court through some things, and pull out the radish and bring out the mud, which is indeed a good way.

Seeing that Chu Lixue didn't ask any more questions, Lu Ji was also a little anxious, and he didn't know what other questions Chu Lixue would ask.

"Niangniang, is there anything else you want to ask?"

"Lu Ji, this palace asks you, why did you hand over the affairs of the county government to Leshantang to deal with?"

"Niangniang, this Leshantang is actually part of the county government, Qian Dashan said that he is willing to hand over Leshantang to Master Zhang for office use, so that no one will come to the county government to trouble me. Moreover, Master Zhang handled it very well. "Lu Ji is serious.

Well handled? It's really serious nonsense, an official who spent money to buy actually let the master of the county government handle the county affairs, and the person he kept calling him a great good man is actually a big evil person who oppresses the people, this Lu Ji, even if he kills him, he can't heal the wounds of the people here.

"Also, Niangniang, don't you know, these officials in Cloud City have their hearts blackened. I'm here, oh no, it's Qian Dashan who has their black accounts in their hands, if Weichen hands over these black accounts, can Niangniang spare Weichen from dying? ”

Black accounts? This is really an unexpected gain, the black account of the officials of Cloud City, this Cloud City is the center of the imperial city, if you can get this black account, it will be of great benefit to clean up the rabble in the court.

Thinking of this, Chu Lixue looked at Qian Jin, "Qian Jin, what about the black account in your hands?" ”

"Niangniang, the account book is indeed in the hands of the villain, it is the thing that the villain uses to save his life, if the villain hands over the account book, can the emperor spare me from death?"

"Spare you death? Why do you say you will be spared death? Have you done many evil deeds? Nangong Yi said coldly.

"Yes, I've done a lot of bad things with money, and sometimes, even I think I deserve to die, but so what? In this world, what's so good about being a good person, is it just being bullied? If you want to live well, of course, you still have to be evil, and you still have to be a big evildoer. Qian Jin said coldly.
