"No matter what you do, one thing is certain." A cold light flashed in Yin Yu's eyes, "This person must have something to do with Ji Zhenyuan." This time, the emperor selected someone to investigate Luo Qi's case, and after Gu Ruoming and Xie Rong ran towards him in different ways, they should have wanted to get involved in this case. It's just that Luo Qi died, and their fight was meaningless. ”

"Since it is suspected that it is related to Ji Zhenyuan, then we might as well send people to keep an eye on him at all times." Protect the country and justice.

"It's useless." Yin Yu stood up and shook his head, "I've been staring at him for more than a month, and he has been in contact with too many people, all of whom are court officials, and they are all official contacts, so there is no way to tell which people are the target." ”

"So what are you going to do now?" The Lord Protector looked at him.

Yin Yu stared at the Lao Tzu picture on the wall for a long time, and said, "Everyone will have their own purpose in doing things.

"Ji Zhenyuan is almost sixty years old, only two sons, now one has been released, and the other is also in Zhan Shifu, if he has no disaster, he will stay in the position of the first assistant cabinet minister for another ten years at most. He cultivated party henchmen in the name of recruiting protégés, it should not be as simple as just paving the way for his children and grandchildren like others. I would like to find out his motives first. ”

When Lu Guogong left the Protector's Mansion, he went straight to the General Administration of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to discuss with the commanders. Although the hint given by the Lord Protector was to enter the palace to ask the prince, everyone also knew that the prince's mind was unpredictable, and it was not easy to say whether he could get the will, but he had to go anyway, and this errand was handed over to Rong Enbo, who was the first to receive the decree to investigate.

Here Zeng Mi returned to the house from the General Administration and asked about Ren Ruhua's contact with Siye Hutong.

Ren Ruhua said: "I just heard that Xie Rong was actually rewarded by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with a concubine to serve in the mansion. Now Mrs. Xie seems to be in a very stiff relationship with Xie Rong over this matter, and even the marriage of her son Xie Yun has been delayed. ”

Zeng Mi also vaguely heard that the prince rewarded the concubine to Xie Rong, but he didn't care about these inner house matters.

only said: "Wait until this time has passed, but it's useless!" At that time, Xie Rong will be a majestic squire of the criminal department, and this icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow. Now that the Holy Providence has come down, it is a good time for me to make meritorious contributions, and when I make some achievements in this inventory, I will let Xie Rong talk to Ji Zhenyuan for me. This promotion is just a matter of words. ”

Ren Ruhua sighed when he heard this: "But this looks." How are you going to let me get there? People think I'm going to see a joke. ”

Zeng Mi thought for a while and said, "I heard that Xie Rong and Mrs. Xie have a deep relationship, so you might as well think of a way to deal with Mrs. Xie first." Didn't you see her in Qinghe before? Such. You create a chance to meet her. Then take the opportunity to reminisce. This relationship is naturally connected. ”

Ren Ruhua nodded in a deep voice, "That's what you said." He glanced at him again and said, "You have opened your mouth to come to these side doors." ”

Zeng Yi smiled. straightened up and said: "In the officialdom, you don't have a lot of kung fu to do the left and right way, can you stand up?" ”

Ren Ruhua didn't know her husband's virtue today, so she didn't bother to pay attention to it, and after Zeng Mi left, she asked her subordinates to go to the people in Siye Hutong and didn't mention it.

And Maple Hutong has been busy here for more than half a month, and it is finally about to usher in Qi Ruzheng's wedding.

Xie Wan watched the red lantern hang up in the mansion again, and he was also very happy, and followed the Yu family to take care of all the trivial things. Hong Lianzhu is now in charge of all the affairs of the house, and this time Qi Ruzheng's wedding, she will also take on the responsibility of welcoming guests.

At night, the aunt and sister-in-law were sorting out Ming'er's menu in the main courtyard, Hong Lianzhu suddenly remembered the heart of the Wang family and Xie Qi when she got married, so she said to Xie Wan: "That Wang family has done a lot of evil, and now she has fallen into a seal and enjoyed the blessings in the four-leaf alley, it can be seen that God has no eyes, and I don't know what will happen to her in the future." ”

Originally, Xie Lang was hindered by her identity as a man, and some rights and wrongs were not so clear to her, so she only had a concept in her mind about Wang's evil deeds, but now that she is with Yu every day, she learned from her how the Wang family has targeted so many poisonous hands against Xie Wan over the years, and her heart is as uncomfortable as blocking a stone, so seeing that although the Wang family is gone, but living the life of an old feudal monarch, she can't help but feel a little unhappy.

When he first entered the mansion, he was indeed a little polite to Xie Wan, even if he knew that Xie Wan was good, he only had a very vague feeling, and he didn't have a very real feeling. But when Xie Wan handed over everything in the family to her, and after making a few turns in front of the Wang family for her, she naturally saw her sincerity. Therefore, ten of the dissatisfaction with the Wang family is out of pity for Xie Wan.

Xie Wan smiled when he faced the menu: "What's the hurry, as long as the Wang family stays in Siye Hutong, she will always suffer in the hands of Xie Rong." ”

Hong Lianzhu was a little unconvinced, "The Wang family is Xie Rong's mother after all, can he really destroy his own mother?" ”

"I'm not sure. It's just that if the Wang family wants to make trouble again, it will definitely be impossible. Xie Wan said firmly, "Xie Rong's patience with the Wang family has reached the limit, now if I want to harm the Wang family, it is very simple, as long as we let the two people who are inserted in the four-leaf alley provoke something to the Wang family, and the Wang family will get something out to pit Xie Rong, I am sure that the Wang family is either crippled or dead." ”

The closer he got to the target, the more Xie Rong would not tolerate the people around him dragging him down, he even sent Xie Wei to Qinghe, what else did he have to scruple about the Wang family? It's just that at this stage, killing a Wang family really doesn't give her any sense of accomplishment, and she can't afford to work her.

And if the Wang family is interested, she should stop from now on, if she is not interested, then let Xie Rong clean her up.

What she has to do next, in addition to Xie Rong, there should be some people who keep popping up - no one should be optimistic about her marriage with Yin Yu, so far only Xie Wei and Xie Qi have come to spoil her, which is really a bit unusual. They are just the first time, and at what point in the unpredictable future will there be someone else?

For example, in the palace or in the Protector's Mansion.

Needless to say in the palace, the emperor still announced in a high-profile manner on the first day of the Lunar New Year that Yin Yu went to the temple to worship, indicating that Yin Yu still has weight in his mind, although it is not easy to say whether it is a good thing or a bad thing to have weight, there is always one point, at least when Yin Yu is summoned to the temple to worship next to him, he will not want to see a woman from a civilian background standing next to him.

Although the attitude of the crown princess is not clear now, judging from the fact that the Protector Mansion specially gave Yin Yu more than three grades to find a lady with a clean family background and a deep foundation as her spouse, Yin Yu will definitely surprise them by choosing her, which can be seen from the fact that the matchmaking between the two after the marriage proposal was explained by Yin Yu to Pang Bai, and the Protector Mansion never asked about this matter again.

Their wedding date is scheduled for April next year, and now that is only half a year away, she will soon have to face his circle of relatives. Of course, she came from a humble background, and Yin Yu was only a nominal match, in essence, there was a difference of 108,000 miles, and it was impossible for her to ask his relatives to respect her as a golden branch, but she was not willing to put herself in an inferior position because of this.

Her principle is that people respect me for a foot, and I respect people for a foot.

This is another trouble with marrying him, in addition to enemies with a clear position, there are also some of his relatives who are opponents to her.

It's a tough way to get around, and she just hopes things aren't as troublesome as she thought.

Hong Lianzhu looked at her and counted the menus on the ground, looking very absent-minded, thinking that she was still thinking about Wang's affairs, afraid that she would cause a bad mood, so she said: "When the happy event at home is over, let's go out for a walk and take you shopping, and then you become relatives, and we won't have so much time to be together every day." Although you are also familiar with Jingshi, you are not as good as me, a native. ”

She smiled and brought her a cup of tea.

Xie Wan took it and said affectionately: "It's inconvenient for my sister-in-law at that time, right?" There should be a little doll in the belly by then! ”

Hong Lianzhu's face was red, a little shy, but he also said generously: "I also want to get pregnant soon, our family is too thin, have a few more children, let them love each other, and they will have a support when they grow up in the future, wouldn't it be good." ”

Hong Lianzhu's father, Hong Hui, is a concubine, and he has no siblings, and he doesn't interact with other cousins, so he is also lonely over there. Hong Lianzhu himself has a younger brother, and now he is only ten years old, and Mrs. Hong is thirty-six or seventeen years old, whether there will be any more heirs depends on luck, Hong Hui has suffered enough of the hardships of the concubine, and has no plans to take a concubine, therefore, the people on both sides are not prosperous.

Speaking of the matter of Rending, Xie Wan remembered something again, "My sister-in-law has been in the door for a few months, and I should let my brother handle the matter of entering the family tree." Otherwise, it will be difficult to show up during the New Year's sacrifice. ”

Clan affairs are under Xie Rong's management, although it is impossible to go back to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors this year, but you have to incense in the Buddhist hall in the house, and you have to put your name into the family tree on Xie Rong's side before you can act. Otherwise, what if the serious housewife in this house can't go to worship the ancestors? It's not a concubine.

Hong Lianzhu also realized the importance of this problem, but she couldn't bear her husband being complained, so she said: "Your brother has been busy recently, because the emperor has ordered to investigate the private deeds of officials, and many yamen have to replace people. ”

Xie Wan looked at his sister-in-law and smiled: "Yo yo yo, my brother is in pain." ”

Hong Lianzhu's face turned red again, and she laughed while looking at her, and said, "One is a husband, the other is a sister, both of you, I hurt." (To be continued.) )
