Grand Chapter

*************************

These movements...

The ministers in the hall were a little puzzled, and the emperor's brows were also wrinkled, looking at Zhou Maochun, who was a little crazy.

How to look at these, Zhou Maochun is like a spring.

Aren't these recitals impeachment, but praise?

That's not so exciting.

Zhou Maochun pushed these pieces over and didn't finish it, and turned around to pick up the scattered pieces on the ground.

"Keep them all, I'll keep them all, don't worry about anyone, let's settle accounts one by one!" He muttered as he picked it up.

The faces of the ministers in the main hall darkened.

In the depths of the night, a eunuch carefully carried a palace lamp and placed it on the table.

There were already four lamps on the table, and the surroundings were as bright as day.

The emperor leaned on the dragon bed and looked at a notebook, and suddenly smiled.

"Look at this, this person's name is Wu Dede." He pointed to the notebook in his hand.

The eunuch on the side was busy watching it, but of course he didn't dare to really look at it, just made a show.

"Wu deserves? I deserve it, he dares to scream. The eunuch smiled softly.

The Emperor smiled and continued to watch, laughing a few times and frowning from time to time, this time he did not read the recital as fast as before, but very slowly.

One of the eunuchs looked at the four or five books on the table, and then saw that the wooden box was still full.

What kind of thing is this, how does Your Majesty look so fascinated?

There was a soft sound outside the door, and a red-robed eunuch walked in.

"My Majesty, it's not too early." Cai Zhong chuckled in a low voice.

The emperor did not take his eyes off the book and waved his hand.

"It's really boring to go to bed on time often, and it's good to sleep once late." He said.

Sleeping has become boring...

Cai Chong couldn't laugh or cry.

The lights in the main hall remained on until they turned white in the east.

The Emperor put down a yellowed notebook in his hand. The eunuch on the side hurriedly handed over the hot towel, and the emperor wiped it before pinching his eyes with his hand.

"Your Majesty, let's squint for a while, this is unbearable." Cai Zhong said worriedly.

The emperor hummed and glanced at the book at the bottom of the box.

"I'll see this after noon." He said.

Look, what is this? How did the emperor see it with such interest.

The eunuchs were amazed.

Zhou Maochun jumped up and down the main hall, crying and grabbing the ground, wanting to fight a lawsuit and confronting those who impeached him, but was blasted out by the emperor.

Could it be that these are the incriminating evidence of those who impeached him that Zhou Maochun obtained?

"What about Zhou Maochun? Did you really go to the prison of the Criminal Department? The emperor wiped his face with a hot hand towel and asked as he remembered something.

Speaking of this, Cai Zhong was a little helpless.

"Yes. No matter how much you persuade you, you just stay in prison and don't leave. He said.

The Emperor smiled and tossed the hot towel in his hand.

"If he likes to live, let him live and stop him from doing anything." He said. With that, he got up and walked in.

Cai Chong's heart turned a few corners.

The emperor's most taboo and disgusting thing is to be blackmailed.

This Zhou Maochun, if he really took the handle of others, the smart thing to do would be to cry and complain about his grievances, and turn this matter into a small matter, how could he make a fuss instead.

Then this is not just to say that those people have wronged themselves, but that the emperor has wronged himself.

A courtier, don't say that the emperor didn't wronged you. What if I really wronged you?

Thunder, rain and dew are all graces, are they all said in vain?

Zhou Maochun obviously had a chance to turn over this time, but he wanted to die.

Cai Zhong shook his head.

It seems that this time things are like this.

Staying alive is the best outcome.

He was looking down to think when the Emperor, who had walked to the curtain, suddenly stopped.

"Tell the people on duty not to move these movements. Put the new ones first. He said.

Cai Zhong replied.

The emperor thought of something again and waved his hand.

"Needless to say, Li Tong knows everything." He said.

Cai Chong's heart skipped a beat.

Li Tong?

"Your Majesty, Master Li Tong Li, go and guard the city gate at the behest of Your Majesty..."He hesitated and said with a smile.

The emperor didn't look back. Lift the curtain with one hand.

"I asked him to pick up people, and everyone did. What else is he doing there? Do you not have eyes to see or do you want to stay there for the rest of your life? He said lightly.

The curtain fell, and the footsteps were gone.

Cai Zhong exhaled.

I see!

It's really tortuous and twists and turns, and this emperor's mind is really hard to guess!

"Grandpa, the little one is waiting for you to rest." A eunuch about thirty years old nodded and laughed.

Cai Zhong gave him a kick.

"Serving what? Who are you serving? Don't share worries for Your Majesty, what are you tossing around? He scolded angrily, "Why don't you go and invite Master Li Tong and Li back, what have you done here?" ”

The eunuch was confused by the scolding, but he didn't dare to slack off, and rushed out with a roll.

At this time, the gates of the city had just opened.

Because of the warmer weather, more and more people are entering the city earlier and earlier.

A carriage rushed first, and the coachman threw the whip off in a frustrated manner.

"You son of a bitch, when will you open the door! Delay Lao Tzu's big event, can you afford it? He scolded.

Li Tong couldn't dodge it and was pumped on the shoulder.

"Daring, where did you come from, this is our Lord Li..."A small soldier couldn't look at it and shouted angrily.

But the coachman was not afraid at all, and spat out.

"Master Li? It's you who hit! Don't say that you are a Master Li guarding the city gate, that is, you are Lord Huo of fifty percent of the soldiers and horses, and you have to avoid three points when you see my carriage! The coachman scolded.

Before he finished speaking, an object smashed head-on, and the coachman couldn't avoid hitting the face, and the smell was extremely fishy.

It turned out to be a ball of horse manure.

"I'll fuck you grandma." At the same time, someone scolded, "Get down and kowtow to Master Li!" ”

The coachman was angry and frightened, wiping his face with his sleeves indiscriminately, and then he saw a few people rushing over, and he was greeted by a son in a brocade robe and a jade robe, followed by four small servants. One of them was still holding horse manure in his hand.

"It's the other way around! I didn't see whose carriage it was. The coachman shouted.

Before the words fell, the little guy raised his hand again.

The coachman ducked, and with a pop, horse manure smashed on the body.

Seeing that there are many people here, the crowd is fierce and violent, and the coachman and the husband can bend and stretch the judgment, and when the situation is raised, the horse rushes over.

"Grandson, you wait!" He threw down a sentence and ran away.

Fan Yilin didn't expect this kid to run so fast, and he was in a hurry to chase after him, but was hurriedly stopped by Li Tong.

"What are you angry with a coachman?" He laughed.

"Yes, yes, that's the carriage of the Imperial Warriors." A soldier said with a worried face.

"The dog fights the human power, and I don't like this, master." Fan Yilin scolded.

Haven't you always been like this?

The people around him reconsidered in their hearts. But don't dare to say it.

Fan Yilin sat down in the pergola on the side angrily.

Li Tong looked indifferent and poured him a cup of tea.

"You're not angry?" Fan Yilin said angrily.

"I'm not angry, I did something wrong, Your Majesty will punish me." Li Tong said.

That is, His Majesty has called me to be angry. All this is to be expected.

Fan Yilin exhaled.

"Don't worry, Qi Niangzi is back, those guys who are jumping and tossing will soon stop, Your Majesty will definitely be." He said.

Before he finished speaking, he heard a rush of footsteps coming from the street.

Seven or eight men in poor clothes stood up, their eyes swept around fiercely.

"Who is Li Tong?" A black-faced man at the head shouted, shaking the chains in his hands.

Something happened again?

The minions stood up suddenly.

"I am." Li Tong said.

"Take it away!" The man waved his hand and shouted.

Seven or eight people immediately gathered around. Fan Yilin jumped up.

"What are you doing?" He shouted, "You are so bold. ”

"This young master, someone sued the city guard Li Tong for his private investigation and asked for money. We were ordered to take him back for questioning, and you had better not hinder us from doing our errand. The leader shouted.

Before Fan Yilin could jump to his feet, someone spoke next to him.

"I said Fan Yilin, you jumped out to speak in such a hurry. For what? ”

Fan Yilin and the others looked and saw a young man swaying over. Behind him were seven or eight domestic servants.

"Oh no, this is the son of the Han family, the left waiter of the Criminal Department, who was stopped by Lord Li for interrogation a few days ago." The little soldiers recognized it, their faces became ugly again, and they all stepped back again.

It's really going to die, and I don't know if this Li Tong is born with bad luck or if people are deliberately looking for him uncomfortable, guarding the city gate for a short period of time fully proves the sentence of beating the water dogs, the soldiers under him don't take him seriously, and there are people who cross the city gate to cause trouble every day.

"Say, did you two collude together? Is my ancestral jade pendant that was taken away by Li Tong also have your share? The son of the Han family shouted loudly.

Fan Yilin took a sip.

"The surname Han, what kind of virtue do you have, and the ancestral jade pendant, it's good that you can have a stone belt!" He scolded.

The Han family's son's face was black, if he had stayed in the past, he would have to retreat from this Fan Yilin, but today is different from the past!

The son of the Han family also spat unceremoniously.

"Come on, take it away, if there is a yamen and ask questions, you will know." He said, waving his hand.

The scene suddenly became chaotic, although Fan Yilin's little servants were few, they were not afraid of causing trouble with their master's temperament, so they desperately surrounded Fan Yilin and Li Tong, and pulled with the seven or eight errand soldiers.

These errand soldiers are errand soldiers, and they also know what kind of people Fan Yilin and Li Tong are, they don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, and they don't dare to be really ruthless.

Seeing that so many people couldn't take a single Li Tong, the son of the Han family became anxious.

"Little bastard, I think you are a toast and don't eat penalty wine." He scolded, and rolled up his sleeves to rush up himself, when seven or eight people rushed in with the sound of hurried horses' hooves and the sound of whips opening the way.

Seeing this scene, the people on the horse couldn't wait for the horse to stop, jumped down, grabbed the shoulders of the Han family son after a few steps, and then fell with one hand.

The son of the Han family was caught off guard and fell to the ground.

Suddenly, the voice of scolding the mother overshadowed all the noise.

"You little bastard! Ate the ambition leopard gall! Dare to come to the city gate to make trouble! ”

The angry voice sounded more sharply.

This voice made the Han family's son's scolding stop, and he saw the person in front of him from the ground in a daze.

"Big brother! You've come just in time. He shouted aggrievedly. This little mongrel surnamed Li is detained.... ”

Before he finished his words, he was trampled on his face by the man in front of him, blocking the words he was about to speak.

The scene was a little quiet for a while.

The officers also stopped and looked at the man.

This man is none other than the eldest son of the Han family!

The eldest son of the Han family was already wet with sweat at this time, and he was still a step too late to catch up!

Last night, he was on duty in the Criminal Department, and he was made a night by Zhou Maochun, and when he saw Zhou Maochun clamoring to be in prison, the sweat on his head came down.

This kind of place in a prison. It's not like anyone who wants to come!

Originally, it was not uncommon for Zhou Maochun to come, they had been prepared for this these days, but Zhou Maochun should not come like this, if he came like this, it would mean that he would not come.

This string doesn't come and go around in my head. Han Dagongzi was not dizzy, but sobered up in an instant!

It's bad, the impeachment of Zhou Maochun, who was originally a certainty, has changed!

He immediately rushed home, and sure enough, he learned from his father what was happening in the hall, although he was confused about the music sent to him and didn't know what it was, but this did not prevent everyone from quickly judging the situation.

Zhou Maochun couldn't move...

Then the people related to Zhou Maochun's incident naturally can't move....

The father and son of the Han family were glad that they did not take the fold this time, and after some analysis, they had to sleep with peace of mind when they were white in the east. As soon as he lay down, the eldest son of the Han family remembered a trivial matter, his uncompetitive younger brother borrowed a few errands to do something.

This is really a trivial matter for the son of the Han family, but when he thinks of who the parties involved in this little matter are. The eldest son of the Han family was completely sleepy, and he didn't even bother to change his clothes and rushed out.

Zhou Maochun is going to live in prison by himself, is Li Tong far away from returning to the palace to serve in front of the emperor?

If you can't even see through this situation, don't stay in the capital as soon as possible.

The little son of the Han family was stunned when he was trampled in public. What made him even more stunned was that the eldest brother on his face couldn't wait to swallow his own mouthful, and he actually hurried over at that Li Tong. And in the blink of an eye, there were enthusiastic smiling faces.

"Master Li, are you alright?" He asked, a little worried, apprehensive, and worried.

The little boy of the Han family still stared at the servants around him in surprise.

The eldest son of the Han family didn't grovel so much in the face of his father, right?

Did this kid take the wrong medicine?

Fan Yilin and Li Tong were also stunned for a moment.

As the indisputable sons of the world, the legitimate sons of these big families simply don't even bother to look at them a few more times, let alone come and go.

That is, as the saying goes, things gather like and people are grouped.

Why is this son of a high-class group who has never dealt with him suddenly be so kind to them, a person from an underclass... Polite?

Just as he was stunned, he heard the sound of horses' hooves, accompanied by the sound of whips, and the crowd of onlookers was already skilled and immediately separated from each other.

"Master Li!" A feminine and shrill voice shouted.

This is the unique tone of the eunuch, and then everyone saw that the people on the four or five horses were not the eunuchs in the palace, they hurriedly dismounted, saw where Li Tong was, and took it with a smile on their faces.

"Oh, my Lord Li, you can make it easy for our family to find it." The eunuch smiled, and took Li Tong's hand as he spoke, "Quick, quick, I'm waiting for you to take over the shift, you can't delay." ”

When this sentence was spoken, everyone's heads thundered, and it was transparent!

The eldest son of the Han family was sweating on his forehead.

He guessed that he would return to the palace, but he didn't expect it to be so fast!

I was afraid for a while, fortunately I came quickly, otherwise this Li Tong would really be put in prison by his younger brother, how would it end!

Thinking of this, he turned his head fiercely and glared at his younger brother who was still lying on the ground.

"Look how I clean you up!" He gritted his teeth and shouted, turned his head to look at Li Tong, his expression was more respectful and kind, "My lord, you see that you are busy first, you can rest assured of this matter." I'll give you an explanation. ”

"Confession?" The eunuch on the side heard it, and also sensed that something was wrong at the scene, and immediately raised his eyebrows and asked softly, "What do you want to do?" What's wrong? ”

The sweat of the eldest prince of the Han family suddenly ticked down, and when he looked at Li Tong, his heart rose to his throat.

At this moment, there was another bustle outside.

"This is here, this is here, surnamed Li."

Seven or eight more people rushed in, led by the coachman who had just left, followed by a boy in a brocade robe. The same swagger.

"Li Tong, you dare to stop my family's carriage, hello..."The brocade-robed boy shouted loudly when he came in, and he swept his eyes as he spoke, and was suddenly stunned.

He saw Li Tong and Fan Yilin. I saw the eunuch standing in front of Li Tong, it was the godgrandson of the great eunuch Cai Chong, I saw the eldest son of the Han family who was about to serve as the secretary of the Criminal Department, I saw the little son of the Han family who was lying on the ground with a footprint on his face, and the most important thing was to see the expressions of the eunuch and the eldest prince of Han.

That kind of humility, flattery, timidity, worry, anxiety, anxiety, fear...

"Little Master Wu, how am I?" Li Tong looked at the boy who rushed over and asked.

The little boy didn't stumble, and when he raised his foot, he kicked the menacing coachman in front of him.

"You don't give face! Such thieves and slaves. You should have been killed on the spot if you were so polite! He shouted angrily.

The people watching around, including Fan Yilin, who could see the wind and make the rudder speak without blinking, all dropped their jaws in shock.

Okay, he is worthy of being the son of the imperial historian, look at this strain speed of watching the six roads, listening to the eight directions, observing the words and looking at the color, and being able to bend and stretch out the white lipstick teeth and turn the clouds and rain. Everyone is ashamed of themselves.

What the hell is going on?

Fools can also see that these people are uneasy to come to this Master Li Tong, why did they become like this in a blink of an eye?

Li Tong followed the eunuchs on the horse and hurried, although Li Tong didn't say anything. But before leaving, Cai Chonggan's grandson's cold and gloomy eyes still made the Han family's son, the martial family and others feel cold.

Fan Yilin also turned over and rode over these people like the eunuch.

"I said it a long time ago. You don't believe me—" he said slowly, then snorted, and without saying a word, slapped his horse away.

Fan Yilin, who was chattering endlessly and ignoring it in the past, wanted to stir up three points, and this humming made everyone's hearts cold again.

Li Tong can see that he is honest and has no temper, and it should be easy to make peace if he offends him, but this Fan Yilin is different, this is a master who will repay nothing and make trouble!

"It's all you bastard!" The eldest prince of the Han family kicked over.

The little boy of the Han family, who had just stood up and was rubbing his face, suddenly fell to the ground again, his hand was on his nose, and suddenly the nosebleed came out, and he let out a dry howl.

The martial artist here did not lag behind, and kicked the chauffeur who was pale and trembling.

"Bound this wicked slave and kneel before the gates of this city for three days and three nights!" He shouted.

With the departure of the people in front of the city gate, the excitement dispersed, and the soldiers were still stunned.

"This, this, what's going on?" One asked dumbfoundedly.

"What else can I do, Master Li has been reinstated." The other said smartly.

When these words were said, several people suddenly had complicated feelings in their hearts.

The official has been reinstated?

Became a close attendant of the Son of Heaven again?

"Then we won't see each other again, will we?" One muttered.

"Nonsense." Someone said.

The status of the ministers and these little soldiers is heaven and earth, and it is not easy to see each other in this life, and I still want to make friends!

Thinking of this, several people's hearts were even more sour.

In fact, they had the opportunity to make friends, if Lord Li treated each other well when he was here, presumably Lord Li would definitely remember them, let such adults remember, and find an opportunity to mention their names, wouldn't the future be bright?

It's just a pity that not only did they not make friends, but they treated each other indifferently and sarcastically...

A few people looked at the already empty street, and their bowels were blue with remorse.

Why didn't you think of it?

Why didn't you treat people well?

But how can you think of it? How dare you do it?

For a down-and-out person, who would have thought that he would not rise again in the future, for a down-and-out person, in order to please some people, all everyone has to do is to scramble to step on it, who would dare to offend the down-and-out person for this down-and-out person?

Taking a long-term view is the hardest thing in life.

There was another sound of horses' hooves, this time from an acquaintance.

The minions stood and looked at their immediate superiors.

The man in the official robe swept their gaze coldly.

"Why just a few of you?" The man asked, "What about the four?" ”

None of their people have ever come, every time three people come, and then Li Tong has to take one person, after coming to the city gate for so long, Li Tong has basically never left except for having to go back to change clothes and wash.

These things, the people above must also know, otherwise how dare they do this, it is not the default support from above, but now they are the only ones who are unlucky...

"Tell them they won't use it in the future!"

Sure enough, the man didn't wait for an answer at all, and threw down a sentence to urge the horse away.

Only then did the soldiers dare to raise their heads and glance at each other.

How did it seem like everything had changed overnight?

I feel that the official yamen of the entire capital are busy.

What the hell is going on?

At this time, Qi Yue was also pulling Chang Yuncheng to ask this sentence.

"What the hell is going on? Why are you hiding it from me? She shouted.

They were sitting in the room outside the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, yesterday the emperor blew all the people in the hall away, but worried that the emperor was going to question, Zhou Maochun couldn't stop him from going to the prison, and the eunuchs had to keep Qi Yue waiting outside the hall, and waited until dawn to learn that the emperor was asleep and had nothing to ask, so she left the palace.

Chang Yuncheng didn't see Qi Yue come out, so he waited outside the palace gate, and when he met, Qi Yue learned that Zhou Maochun was making trouble and wanted to live in prison, so he had to follow Chang Yuncheng to the prison.

"It's not that I have to hide it from you, it's just that I don't know if I can make it, and I don't know how long it will take, so I didn't tell you." Chang Yuncheng said with a smile.

After all, the follow-up effect of the wounded soldiers is uncertain, and it is best to be effective, if it is ineffective or the effect cannot be seen for the time being...

"So my father-in-law is responsible for taking responsibility first, what about you to deal with these, only I don't know anything, I am well guarded at home by my aunt, worried about this and that?" Qi Yue said unhappily.

Chang Yuncheng smiled again.

"What's the matter, I was about to tell you, don't you see Your Majesty." He said.

Qi Yue snorted.

The two officials on duty outside the palace gate came in.

"Lord Shizi, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you? It's all here. They said respectfully.

Chang Yuncheng stood up.

"No need, we're going to the prison of the Criminal Department, don't eat here." He said, looking at Qi Yue, "On the way, I'll take you to taste the delicious food in the capital and go early." (To be continued)
