Luo Zhongsheng and Mrs. Qiao came out of the East Ear House, Mrs. Qiao's tears fell, Luo Zhongsheng gently pushed her, and returned to the main house, Mrs. Qiao looked at Luo Zhongsheng and choked up: "She didn't mention the Qingmei raised in the old mansion, she is ...... She has always loved to be petty, but this time, she didn't go to her heart at all, she was ......"

"Alas, I know, she is annoyed that Chen Xing didn't treat her sincerely, alas, I have already thought of it, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to persuade her to come back, Sister Wan is dead to Chen Xing and the Chen family, so she doesn't even care about these things. Alas, this is also compared, if you look at the sons-in-law of the Li family, Sister Wan often comes and goes with them, no wonder Sister Wan ...... Don't cry, I'm not to blame you. ”

Luo Zhongsheng sighed again and again, and when he saw that Mrs. Qiao's tears fell into strings, he hurriedly comforted him.

"Why don't you blame me? When Mrs. Yan began to pick people for Sister Nan and Sister Mei, she told me that it was more difficult to choose a son-in-law than to marry a daughter-in-law, and she had to do it as soon as possible...... Why don't you blame me? Don't blame me, who do you blame? Mrs. Qiao thought about the sons-in-law of the Li family, and the more she thought about it, the more sad she became.

"Wasn't it because of the draft at the time, if you want to blame me, how can you blame you? Think about the child of the Tang family, our Sister Wan'er has a similar temperament to Sister Tang, Sister Wan, it's so ......" The latter words, Luo Zhongsheng couldn't bear to say it, his sister Wan is still alive, Sister Tang, I'm afraid that the bones have melted.

"Don't worry, now is not the time to regret it, it's useless to regret it. This matter, since it is connected to those major events in Potai Mountain, you can't be in a hurry, you must not be in a hurry.

There are a lot of things, especially Ruan Seventeen's trip to Chen's house, I have to find someone to inquire about it, I must inquire clearly first, alas, we know too late, I didn't expect that Hu Shi to be in the middle, you relax first, Ruan Seventeen can send Sister Wan back first, at least our family is not a big deal, Sister Wan is not a big deal, don't worry. ”

In fact, Luo Zhongsheng himself was also very chaotic, but he could still stabilize it. As he said just now, Ruan Qiqi can send Sister Wan back first, judging from this, the Luo family will at least not be implicated, and the catastrophe is coming, with this big premise, he is also a small mess, and he is still stable.

Luo Zhongsheng ate half a bowl of rice indiscriminately, and went back to the yamen.

Entering his small courtyard in the yamen, Luo Zhongsheng went straight into the west wing.

The west wing is now the place where Counselor Zhu assists in the affairs of the ministry.

Since entering the capital, to be precise, since Li Xiading became a member of the Qin Palace, Guo Sheng has become more and more important in the Qin Palace, and Counselor Zhu has become more and more important, and over the years, he has been firmly sitting in the top spot among the counselors next to Luo Zhongsheng.

Counselor Zhu is an extremely calm and low-key person, and now under this heavy use, he is no different from when he was in Hangzhou, he is still dressed in half-used clothes all the year round, with humility and kindness from the inside out, wherever he goes, he is the appearance of the good-natured old private school gentleman.

Seeing Luo Zhongsheng come in, Counselor Zhu hurriedly stood up, asked Luo Zhongsheng to sit down first, brought water from the red clay stove, and made a cup of tea for Luo Zhongsheng.

"My sister Wan made an accident with her mother's family, have you heard?" Luo Zhongsheng got straight to the point.

"I heard, someone from the Chen family found this place just now, and when I heard that you weren't there, I left, and I didn't say anything." Counselor Zhu replied slowly.

"Look at this Erlang, how can he be stupid like this? What's the use of him looking for me? It's all like this, the lady of their family, and now there is their family, who are you sorry for, who have you offended, don't you understand? What's the use of finding me here? He and his father, and even the old lady of his family, didn't hurry to the Ruan family and the Lu family to kneel and beg for mercy, and the Li family all went to the Lu Mansion to accompany them, so they were still serious relatives. What's the use of him looking for me? ”

Luo Zhong was angry and didn't fight anywhere.

Counselor Zhu sighed and did not answer.

The Chen family is the in-laws of the Luo family, and the matter between the two parents' families is the housework of the Luo family, and he has never spoken or touched his hands in housework.

"What's even more annoying......" Luo Zhongsheng slapped the table a few times, he was really angry.

Counselor Zhu listened intently to Luo Zhongsheng about how Ding Ze'an told Chen Xingxing the details of that night, how did Ding Ze'an think, not only did he think, but he was afraid that he had also confessed to Chen Sheng, and he had to tell himself about it, but Chen Shengsheng hid all these words like this, and his eyebrows were raised, "What Ding Ze'an said is that Mrs. Hu helped the bandits search for the Ruan family and the Lu family's daughters?" ”

"Is Ding Ze'an saying so, I don't dare to say it, but at least Ding Ze'an's daughter-in-law said so, this sentence is extremely important, Mrs. asked clearly, and I asked clearly." Luo Zhongsheng thumped the table a few more times.

"That's it! This is to raid the family and exterminate the family! Chen Erlang: Is this trying to make the Chen family ruined? Counselor Zhu couldn't believe it, spread his hands, and didn't know what to say.

The bloody case in Potai Mountain, said to be a bandit, who and who is behind it, the discerning people in the capital know it well, this is the biggest battle in the world.

This sentence Mrs. Hu helped the bandits search for the Ruan family and the Lu family's daughters, once it was said, the first thing that came to mind was that Mrs. Hu was the secret hand of the Li family in advance, and the Chen family had already stood in line, and they rushed to the front regardless of their bodies, and even Luo Shangshu was afraid that he would be thought to be in line, thinking that he was also charging forward......

Since Ding Ze'an and Ruan Qiqi have said this and made this incident, it is absolutely impossible for the two of them to do nonsense, this is just ......

Counselor Zhu shuddered lightly, according to the current tough style of the prince who suddenly changed drastically, if he didn't raid the Chen family and destroy the clan, how could he be willing to give up? Maybe the Luo family......

"Dong Weng, this is a big deal." Counselor Zhu's heart turned seven or eight times in a row, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, his back was covered with a layer of cold sweat, and his face turned white.

"Me too, when I heard it just now, I was just like you, I was scared and broke out in a cold sweat, and then ......" Luo Zhongsheng leaned over and said what Ruan Qiqi had done when he rushed into Chen's house, "...... Look at it, this is clearly to take Sister Wan'er out first, Lao Zhu, you don't know, I heard that Sister Wan'er came back like this, and my heart fell back into my stomach all of a sudden. ”

Counselor Zhu also sighed lightly, raised his hand and wiped it on his forehead, "Me too, this heart has fallen back." Dong Weng has been friends with the Li family for most of his life, and the prince, as well as the princess and her two brothers, and have a friendship in Hangzhou City for a few years. ”

"Your nephew is also very old-fashioned." Luo Zhongsheng added.

Counselor Zhu sighed lowly, "I haven't seen him for more than a year, and I haven't seen him on the other hand." I told Dong Weng that when Ah Sheng first arrived in the capital, he told me that during the Zhiping period, if you can't see it, you won't see it, and I'll talk about it later. ”

"He's afraid of implicating you, your nephew, it's really not simple, the first time I saw him, I felt my eyes light up." Luo Zhongsheng praised first, "Old Zhu, tell me, what should I do about this?" Sister Wan was said by the seventeenth master, and she cried to death several times, and now she said that she would rather die than go back to the Chen family, you say, what is this called! ”

"That seventeenth master, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as sending Sister Wan back to the Luo family, right?" Counselor Zhu looked at Luo Zhongsheng.

Luo Zhongchang sighed, he thought of this, what he hesitated now was, whether to wait first, or take the initiative, this matter is not only related to his daughter, but now this matter is related to the entire Luo family, he has to be extremely cautious.

"Since the seventeenth master took Sister Wan out first, and asked the two wives and sisters to follow closely to the house to take care of it, according to me, the big thing is up, Dong Weng doesn't have to worry too much, Dong Weng just needs to plan for Sister Wan'er."

This is a family matter, and he should not say more.

"Didn't I just come to you to discuss?" Luo Zhongsheng looked annoyed, "Tell me what this is called!" ”

"Dong Weng, you really want to ...... and leave or something," Counselor Zhu said vaguely, "But the man has to nod, at this time, the Chen family is only afraid of refusing, right?" What if Dong Weng ...... That, that's something heavy. Counselor Zhu was vague, his words were heavy, and he euphemistically replaced the force, "The Chen family makes a fuss, and then it spreads, this is not good, in a few days, the Chen family will have something bad, maybe some people will say how Dong Weng is, does Dong Weng have to think about this first?" ”

"I don't have to worry about that." Luo Zhongsheng looked calm and said slowly: "I really made up my mind...... I don't need to come forward, there is that seventeenth master, he must be happy to come forward to help with a few punches. ”

Counselor Zhu wanted to laugh but held back, nodding again and again.

……………………

King Qin's mansion, Guo Sheng entered the courtyard of the study, and went straight into the upper room, King Qin and Jin Zhuoyan were talking, Guo Sheng saw the courtesy, and first said that Ruan Seventeen ran to Chen's house to make a fuss, and Luo Wan went back to her parents' house.

"What is he doing here? Want to pick up the Luo Chen family to break off? Jin Cunyan raised his eyebrows.

"This matter is inappropriate for the Chen family." King Qin frowned slightly, "I used the word filial piety too much." The way of the sage's father and son, the way of the monarch and the minister, is clear, the monarch and the minister do not say it first, this father and son, must first have the father's kindness, and then there can be the son filial piety, push the son and nephew out to die, this mercy is gone, since there is no mercy, where does the filial piety come from? ”

"That's a lot of it." Guo Sheng's words are not flattery, such a simple truth...... In fact, it's not that people in the world don't even understand this simple truth, but they understand it, turn a blind eye, and only use what is good for themselves.

After all, in the matter of fathers, fathers, and sons, the authority falls into the hands of parents, and it is almost impossible for the children born to them and raised by them to hold authority.

In this world, not every parent can reach the word "parents", it is infinitely lenient and infinitely strict, and it is used between parents and children, and when it comes to filial piety, just like the Chen family, it is often used to blatantly kill people.

"I'm thinking about Pang Chong again." Jin Shuyan looked at King Qin and asked.

Guo Sheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Jin Cunyan, with a questioning expression, Pang Chong is a person he knows, he is a depressed little Yushi who has been sitting on the cold bench for nearly ten years on the Yushi Stage, what's wrong with him?

"This morning, Pang Conflict came out of the ranks, facing the emperor, saying that the tragedy of Potai Mountain originated from the Sixth Route Garrison, and the Sixth Route Garrison did not festered all the way to the extreme, and the plague of the local area for decades, among them, there were more Gaoyou Army sold the imperial court military supplies to the bandits, the Jiangyin Army rebelled, the lives of the Jiangnan were devastated, and the Xuyi Army raided Potai Mountain, killing innocents indiscriminately, so that countless deaths and injuries were inflicted, and the crime was extremely evil. All of this is because the emperor is lazy and has made the emperor guilty. ”

Kim explained succinctly.

Guo Sheng's two eyebrows were raised together, "There are still such hot-blooded people in the imperial court?" I've seen this Pang Chong a few times, but I haven't seen it. This guy is good. ”

"I've been sitting on the cold bench for too long, and I've come up with all kinds of ideas, all of which are selfish, hum." The corners of Jin Clumsy's mouth pulled down, and he snorted coldly.

"That's a bit harsh." King Qin stood up and walked to the window, "There is no self in my heart, I only want to serve the country and the people, that is a saint." When we went from Hangzhou to Fujian, which of the state and county officials we saw along the way was not selfish? Even if you want to leave a name in history, it is selfish.

No matter why he is an official, why he does this or that, as long as he abides by discipline and law as an official, fulfills his duties, and does this thing that is beneficial to the country and the people, and is what should be done in righteousness, this is enough.

If you are too demanding, there will be no one in this world. Even if you and I are able to be completely selfless and devote ourselves to the country and the people? ”

Jin Shuyan pursed his lips tightly and stopped talking.

"I'm also selfish, so are you, and so is he." King Qin pointed at Jin Cunyan and Guo Sheng.

"I'm not only selfish, you all know, I really never thought about serving the country and the people." Guo Sheng said with a smile.

"That Pang Chong, I'll let someone go and see him?" Jin is very quick to teach.

"You can go for yourself." King Qin lowered his head and thought about it, and instructed Jin Zhuoyan, Jin Zhuoyan was a little surprised, this is too blatant, right?

"Over the years, it is rare to have such a strong point, we can support it, we will support one or two, and the courtiers dare to stab the emperor in the face, which is a sign of prosperity." King Qin continued.

"Good. I'll go. Jin Cunyan readily agreed.

Guo Sheng aimed at King Qin, this is simply a face-to-face fight with the emperor, well, it seems that the princess said that such a chaotic situation should be straightened out this year, it seems that it is indeed fast.

"Slow talk, there's one more thing, you listen to it before you leave." Guo Sheng raised his hand to stop Jin Zhuoyan, who was about to go out, "Chen Jiang handed over the word, saying that the petty official of the City Gate Division who was bought by Hu San's military advisor Hei Mao has been found out, and it is Wu Youguang." ”

"Wu Youguang?" Jin raised his eyebrows.

"The one in Hengshan County?" King Qin frowned slightly.

"It is Wu Youguang, the county lieutenant of Master Li San when he was the county commander in Hengshan County, after the obscene temple case, he moved his family into the capital, Su Guangyi found a messenger for him in the city gate, and now he is the little steward of Chenzhou Gate, from Qipin." After a pause, Guo Sheng continued: "Wu Youguang said that this Heimao was introduced to him by Master Li San. ”

"This is nonsense." Jin said politely.

"It's not necessarily nonsense, let Wu Youguang think that this Heimao was introduced by Master Li San, but Master Li San doesn't know anything, this game is very easy to do." Guo Sheng looked at Jin Cunyan and smiled.

King Qin looked at Guo Sheng, "This is a trivial matter, let's not commit a trick, if Chen Jiang summons and asks Li Wu to accompany his father on a trip, he will reply as to what is going on, just make it clear." ”

"Yes." Guo Sheng simply agreed.
