After dinner, Xie Rong went to Guo Xing's mansion.

Guo Xing has been promoted to the rank of servant of the ministry, and he has also changed his house, when Xie Rong arrived, Guo Xing was painting, and when he saw him coming, he smiled and said: "Weiping has returned from visiting relatives, can the journey go smoothly?" ”

Xie Rong smiled: "Brother Tuo Guo is worried, everything is fine. ”

Guo Xing put down the pen, stretched out his hand and invited him to sit down, and he also sat down beside him. After the people served tea, Guo Xing called everyone out, and then said to Xie Rong: "In the past two days since you went back, something big happened in Beijing. Yin Yu, the waste grandson who was originally trapped outside the East Palace, disappeared at some point. On the morning of the first day of the new year, when the clan went to the temple to worship his ancestors, the emperor ordered someone to bring him to worship, only to find out about it. ”

Xie Rong's eyes flashed, and he said, "Didn't the emperor send someone to take care of him?" How will it go missing? ”

Guo Xing sighed, picked up the tea, and said, "Who is Yin Yu?" Since the age of three, there are no less than ten attendants around him to teach him martial arts, and at the age of five, he was personally taught by the Duke of Huguo to ride the bow and shoot, and at the age of thirteen, he secretly went to the East China Sea, and joined the army under a pseudonym for three years. ”

Xie Rong said: "But in addition to the group of people around the emperor, there should also be a group of people staring at him." ”

Guo Xing nodded, and said with a half-sigh: "But no matter what, he still escaped." ”

Xie Rong silently took a sip of tea. Half a day later, he said: "He has been removed from the clan, but the emperor also asked people to call him back to worship his ancestors, which shows that he is not dead to him." Even if he escapes, the palace probably won't investigate deeply. ”

"That's what I'm worried about." Guo Xing sighed. Look ahead. The emperor not only asked him to come back to worship his ancestors, but also kept the news unpublished, and only ordered his attendants to secretly go out of the palace to find it. And this incident was only learned by my father-in-law when he got a glimpse of the spiders. If you are in Beijing for the past two days, you will also find that there have been many people in and out of the Protector's Mansion in the past two days, and you are obviously very nervous about this matter. ”

"What does Elder Ji Ge think about this?" Xie Rong asked.

"I don't know." Guo Xing retracted his gaze, "I've been busy with the transfer of officials these days, and I have a pile of resumes waiting for review, and I haven't had time to see my father-in-law." I'm going to finish these two days and then go for a walk. Why don't you go with me? ”

Xie Rong smiled and shook his head: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

Two days passed. On this day, Xie Rong handled some affairs in the Zhan Mansion, and estimated that the early dynasty was over, so he went to the yamen of the ministry and found Guo Xing. Let's go to Jifu together.

Ji Zhenyuan has just returned to the house. I didn't even have time to change my court clothes. When he saw the two of them, he said, "You have come just in time, and I have something to tell you here." As he spoke, he pulled out a folded piece of paper from his cuff. While sitting down, he handed it to Xie Rong: "Look at it, this is Jin Yong's book of the Cao Gang's indiscriminate collection of hired money this morning, I copied it, you take a closer look!" ”

Xie Rong hurriedly took it and looked at it carefully.

After a while, he raised his head and said, "Now it is the Protector of the Nation who is in charge of Caoyun, and Jin Yong's participation in the Cao Gang is not equivalent to participating in the Protector of the Nation?" ”

Ji Zhenyuan brushed his beard and said: "That's true. But if you think about it carefully, over the years, there have been countless books of the Cao Gang indiscriminately collecting ship silver, and almost all of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Six Departments have not taken it seriously, why did Jin Yong suddenly want to participate in the Cao Gang seriously this time? ”

Guo Xing was silent. Xie Rong groaned and said, "Isn't there another reason?" Thinking again, "Could it be that the deputy capital of the Imperial Court of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is about to die of old age recently?" As long as Jin Yong persuaded the emperor to investigate the matter, his competitiveness would become more and more intense. ”

Ji Zhenyuan snorted and said, "Even if there is no such thing, he will participate." Since this luck fell into the hands of Hoda, it has become a stone that many people want to gnaw on but can't gnaw on. Do you think he is so stupid, knowing that moving luck is equivalent to moving the Protector of the Mansion, and he still wants to be in the limelight? This time, he has evidence of collusion between the Cao Gang and the court officials! ”

When Guo Xing heard this, he was taken aback, "He has evidence?" ”

Xie Rong also frowned, obviously feeling that this matter was not as easy as they thought before.

Ji Zhenyuan exhaled and said, "Although the old man doesn't know what evidence he has in his hands, judging from the emperor's attitude, he is ready to file a case." Although I can't find out about this matter, you all pay attention to it. This matter will involve the whole body, and when the time comes, it will be a big loss, and he will lose his wife and soldiers. ”

Guo Xing hurriedly bowed his head and said yes. Xie Rong also hung his head silently.

Out of the gate of Jifu, Xie Rong and Guo parted ways at the intersection of the street and went directly back to Siye Hutong.

Seeing that his face was not good, Huang Shi hurriedly made him a bowl of tea and asked, "Didn't you go to see Ji Ge Lao?" How did you come back so early. ”

Xie Rong sat down and sighed, took the tea and drank half a sip, and said, "Elder Ji Ge scolded me and Master Guo, and without even asking, he said goodbye and came back. ”

Huang hurriedly said, "What's the matter?" ”

He glanced at her and said in a gentle voice, "If something goes wrong in business, it's okay." ”

Xie Rong's whereabouts were told to Xie Wan in real time.

The matter of Cao Yun was handed over to Jin Yong, and he naturally had his own way to deal with it. No matter who the person who secretly helped Tong Fen is, as long as this matter is done and the court officials behind the Cao Gang are pulled out of the water, although he may not necessarily become a famous minister, he can be regarded as a famous figure in the history of speech officials. Such a big gift was given to him as a New Year's gift, which could not be said to be grand enough.

Next, she went to visit Zhao Zhen, and Cheng Yuan got shocking news from Zhao Zhen. ——On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the emperor actually announced that Yin Yu should go to the Taimiao Temple to worship!

Xie Wan was slightly stunned, "Did the emperor really announce the edict to let the abolished grandson worship his ancestors?" ”

"Absolutely." Cheng Yuan nodded, "Although only people from the clan were present in this matter, it was the palace people who gave the order, and the palace people had our eyeliner in the palace department." But lately they've been very tight-lipped, and it seems that something important has happened. But I don't know if it's an accident in the harem or something else. ”

Xie Wan was silent for a long time and said: "In this way, the emperor is not dead set on abolishing the grandson. ”

"That's what I thought too." Cheng Yuan nodded.

When Xie Wan and Cheng Yuan were discussing Yin Yu, Huo Jue met Luo Qian and them two streets away.

"I know about the first day of the new year. Now there are a few things for you to do, first, go to the East China Sea to summon Gongsun Liu and them to Beijing as soon as possible. Second, hurry up and find a house for me. ”

Luo Qian's jaw is the first to say yes. Then he looked up, "Is the Lord ready to show up?" ”

"When will you not show up?" Huo Jue straightened his cuffs and said, "Give you half a month to do it for me." ”

Xie Wan also called Luo Ju the next day.

"Go see if there's a good house for sale nearby, I'm going to buy it."

Luo Ju will go to Tianjin in a short time, and this matter must be done while he is there.

The emperor had already guessed in advance, after receiving the transcript and summoning Huo Da, the protector of the country, into the palace for questioning, immediately issued an order for Dali Temple to file a case, and the imperial history and six sections of the Imperial Procuratorate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were given to Jin Yong to supervise the case.

It is said that the face of the Protector was very gloomy when he left the palace, although he only showed his face for a short time, but it immediately caused a lot of waves, because such a face means that he never heard anything in the palace this time, and the long-lasting Protector Mansion actually has today, so all kinds of speculation have sprung up, and the streets and alleys have been full of various legends in the past few days.

Even though Xie Rong didn't go out, the wind outside fell to his ears without a trace.

In fact, speaking of which, Jin Yong's participation in the situation he is in now, and he has surrounded the protectors who are difficult for others to shake, which is only good for him. But Ji Ge Lao's words are also right, Jin Yong is not a reckless person, it is precisely because the Huo family's status is difficult to shake, if he is not sure, he will not do it.

Moreover, the attitude of the emperor now also speaks for itself, doesn't it?

However, where did Jin Yong get the certainty or evidence that the Shencao Gang colluded with the court officials?

Xie Rong was puzzled.

"Master, Mr. Seven, I will ask you to meet in Guizi Hutong."

Pang Xin walked into the courtyard and handed him a post to him lying in a rattan chair in the sun.

"Mr. Seven?" Xie Rong heard this and took the post.

When Xie Rong went to Guizi Hutong for an appointment, Xie Wan asked people to call Ning Dayi.

Ning Dayi was very happy that Xie Wan had come to Jingshi.

After a few pleasantries, Xie Wan said: "Recently, someone has been involved in the Cao Gang, have you heard of it?" ”

Ning Dayi thought for a moment, "I heard." "Although he is a full businessman, he doesn't care much about the government and politics, but because there are many people in the restaurant, these things will inevitably be heard." I heard that it was your cousin Jin Yongshen, who was also bold, and even dared to participate in the subordinates of the Protector of the Kingdom. What's wrong? ”

Xie Wan said: "Actually, I asked him to participate." Looking at Ning Dayi's stunned look, she said again: "It's because I found something." Then she told him the ins and outs of the matter, and then said: "Now that the matter is over, I don't want to hide it from you, my target is my third uncle." I just want to see who is behind this matter, mainly whether it has anything to do with him, and how much it has to do with it. ”

Even if she didn't tell Ning Dayi about it, Ning Dayi knew a little bit about her for so long.

He said, "Whatever you want me to do, just say it!" But don't let me study and become an official! He shook his hands violently, revealing an obscure look.

Xie Wan said funny: "I let you be an official, do you deserve it?" ”

After speaking, she said with a straight face: "Jin Yong's participation in the Cao Gang, the Protector Mansion will definitely be affected." But I didn't want to provoke them. There are many people in our Dongxing Building every day, you help me release some rumors there, to the effect that Jin Yong joined the Cao Gang this time because he found that someone was secretly coming to the Protector Mansion, so he wanted to find out the moth behind it.

"I don't care what you say, in short, you want to find a way to speak for the Protector Mansion, and calm their grievances." (To be continued.) )
