After Zhuang Yue wiped his sweat and drank tea, he slowly told Du Jinning about Runzhou.

Zhuang Yue was so angry when he heard this, he stood up and arched his hand: "Young Master Qi, I want to go to Runzhou." ”

Qi Muyuan pressed his palm, told him to sit down, and said, "You don't know your young master's skills?" Now that the emperor has sent someone to escort Cao Hongshou and Wang Yugui into Beijing, the Chen family is almost finished. I came here today to tell you, don't be steady, don't mess up; You must guard everywhere, don't let the Chen family take advantage of the loophole, bite you before you die, and cause a big disaster to your young master. ”

"Yes." Zhuang Yue stood up solemnly and bowed deeply towards Qi Muyuan, "Thank you Young Master Qi for this friendship." My young master knows about it, and he will definitely be grateful to Young Master Qi. ”

Qi Muyuan, who had always had no expression, showed a rare smile on his face, and stood up to help Zhuang Yue with his own hands: "Your young master's backyard is guarded by you." During this time, it is better to do less business or no business at all, and you must ensure that nothing happens. ”

"Young Master Qi, don't worry, the villain knows what to do." Zhuang Yue is again.

"Then you hurry up and decorate, I'll go back."

"Young Master Qi walks slowly."

After sending Qi Muyuan away, Zhuang Yue asked someone to summon the shopkeepers from all over the place to come over for a meeting.

When the shopkeepers arrived, Zhuang Yue immediately announced: "The day after tomorrow is the first day of the new year, and the newly engraved "Farming Story" will be temporarily suspended. ”

"Big shopkeeper, this can't be done. At the door of the bookstore, I am afraid that someone will smash rotten eggs. A shopkeeper said.

The other shopkeepers nodded.

"Farming" is published once a month, and many book lovers are looking forward to it, and on the first day of every month, you can see a long queue outside the bookstore. If it were suddenly announced that "Farming" would not be released, these people would probably riot.

Zhuang Yue's face was full of seriousness: "The young master is fighting with Zhizhou in Runzhou, and the Chen family in Beijing impeached the young master, and the situation is tense." If someone makes a fuss about the content of "Farming", picking bones in the egg, the young master's situation will definitely be worse. Therefore, tomorrow, each bookstore will put a large piece of paper at the door, saying that due to problems in the printing workshop, the manuscript of the new volume of "Farming Notes" has been destroyed. At this time, the author was being asked to rewrite, so the release of "Farming" was postponed. As for when it will be available, we will wait to be announced. ”

As soon as they heard that this matter involved Du Jinning, the expressions of the shopkeepers also became serious.

Why is their business doing so well? That's naturally because the owner has the ability. Once something happens to the owner, it is like being uprooted, and no matter how prosperous the flowers here are, they will be defeated in two days, and there will be no more life.

Therefore, which is more important, there is no need for Zhuang Yue to say, they are all very clear.

In addition to "Farming", the bookstore sells the Four Books and Five Classics, and I am not afraid that someone will use it to make a fuss. And the young master called the "newspaper" that was issued, because he had no experience, the progress was relatively slow, and the content had not been collected yet, and it was not printed. So stop selling "Farming", even if those people want to make a fuss about the bookstore, they have nowhere to speak.

"Aside from the bookstore, what about the florist? Should the florist's business be suspended? A shopkeeper asked.

Zhuang Yue shook his head: "I don't know how long this contest will last, and there is no need for the flower shop's business to stop." But ......"

He glanced at everyone: "First of all, during this time, you have to keep an eye on the shop all the time, restrain your guys, someone will provoke, tell them to endure and not cause trouble for the young master." Secondly, if someone comes to order a flower basket to congratulate him, he must send more than two experienced people to send it, so as not to be manipulated. ”

Hearing the latter sentence, the shopkeepers' expressions suddenly became solemn and nodded frequently.

Generally, when ordering flower baskets, A pays a deposit, and then asks them to send it to B to congratulate B's family on the happy event. Write A's name on the flower basket.

But if something happens to the guy who sent the flower basket on the way, and the flower basket is replaced with flowers made of white silk or white flowers, and the recipient is a powerful person in the court, this is not a congratulatory blessing but they will get into big trouble for the young master.

"If you don't use the problem with the flowers in the flower base as an excuse, let's also suspend the flower basket business." A 60-year-old shopkeeper said, "Money can't be made, let's still focus on the overall situation." I think even if the young master knew about it, he would agree to our approach. ”

Zhuang Yue frowned and thought about it, and nodded: "That's fine." I'll send someone to deliver a letter to the young master tomorrow and ask what the young master means. Before the young master replied, the flower basket business was suspended. ”

……

On the second day, after discussing the major affairs of the court, Zhao Yu deliberately mentioned Cao Hongshou's twist, and immediately the Chen family came out to ask for severe punishment of Du Jinning.

Seeing that someone took the lead, the officials of the family also came out one after another to ask for Du Jinning to be severely punished.

Because of Du Jinning, they had a bad meal at the beginning. Now that they have the opportunity to fall into the well, they are naturally very happy.

Zhao Yu glanced at the people who came out of the ranks, a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and asked, "I haven't sent anyone to investigate the truth of Cao Hongshou's words, so you have stood up one by one and demanded that Du Jinning be severely punished." In the future, as long as someone impeaches you, I will punish you severely without asking the reason? ”

There was silence in the courtroom.

Zhao Yu asked Chen Yanyun, the elder brother of Chen's director, again: "You ask for Du Jinning to be severely punished, do you have any evidence?" ”

Cao Hongshou is Du Jinning's boss, and he naturally knows Du Jinning's behavior well. gave Cao Hongshou ten guts, and he didn't dare to make false accusations in front of the emperor. As long as the emperor checks on this matter, he will know whether it is true or false, and the minister believes that Cao Hongshou will not be so stupid. Chen Yanyun said.

The other ministers nodded.

No matter how bold Cao Hongshou was, he didn't dare to lie and frame Du Jinning on such a thing that would be clear at a glance. Therefore, Du Jinning's dereliction of duty is certain.

"Your Majesty." Liu Yushi came out, "Cao Hongshou is the son-in-law of the Chen family, and it is Cao Hongshou who is married to Lord Chen's sister." The criminal department tried the case, and the testimony of close relatives was not yet valid, and Lord Chen came forward to impeach Du Jinning on behalf of his sister-in-law, and the minister thought it was difficult to call it fair. ”

As soon as Liu Yushi came out to refute Chen Yanyun, those families who took the opportunity to seconded the proposal shouted bad in their hearts, and immediately scolded the Chen family to death.

Who is Liu Yushi? That's an old stubborn who doesn't look at anyone's face and doesn't buy anyone's accounts, and is very upright. As long as he comes out against it, everyone will have to beat a drum in their hearts. Because this guy doesn't know what means, he can always have some evidence in his hands, and he won't dare to stop until he refutes the person he wants to impeach. Once, he also carried it with the emperor, blocked the emperor's face pale, and went away directly. But because what he said was the truth, the emperor was helpless to take him.

Now he is out to help Du Jinning speak against the Chen family, which shows that Cao Hongshou's words are not credible. The Chen family is afraid that they will be unlucky.

They believed in Cao Hongshou and supported the Chen family, and thought that Du Jinning and Du Jinning had offended the emperor, so they seconded the proposal one by one.

Before they could finish their thoughts, they heard Liu Yushi say again: "The minister feels that Lord Chen's words lack justice, in addition to being Cao Hongshou's brother-in-law, but also because the Chen family hides dirt and criticizes, acts ruthlessly, harms people's lives, and ignores the king's ......law."

As he spoke, he took a fold from his sleeve and held it above his head.
