And he went to the Xu Mansion, he didn't expect that this Gu Ye would be able to invite Xu Mingyue, but he really couldn't take care of anything for Gu Zifeng.

Gu Zifeng's dismissal is indeed true, the resignation was handed to Song Rujin by Xu Su, and as a secretary, he has the right to impeach officials, but this brochure has not been presented to His Majesty's table, but has been placed here by Xu Yu.

As soon as the carriage stopped, someone greeted him, Ning Ke got out of the car and took a look, and found that there was a carriage next to it, and the style was a little familiar.

"Vice General Ning, please come here, your lord has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Then go ahead."

Under the guidance of the little servant, Ning Ke came to the pavilion by the pool, and Song Rujin, who was dressed in a white robe in the pavilion, was talking to Xu Yu with a smile, and when he saw Ning Ke coming, he called out, "Vice General Ning, long time no see." ”

Ning Ke raised his feet and walked in, and said lightly, "It's true that I haven't seen you for a long time, Lord Song,"

Ning Ke is extremely displeased with Song Rujin, saying that people who are too smart will not be too likable, this old fox seems to be standing with Xu Yu, but in fact, he still has a lot of flowers and intestines in his heart, and he is also hot to contact other officials in private, and he doesn't know what he wants to do.

Xu Yu raised his eyes and bowed his head, "Sit." ”

Ning Ke sat down on the stone chair generously, and soon someone came with tea.

Xu Yu sniffed and asked, "Drinking?" ”

"It's not your nephew, who was fooled into coming to me to inquire about the news, so he accompanied him for a few drinks." Saying that, Ning Ke picked up the teacup in front of him and took a few sips to remove the wine.

Song Rujin chuckled, "It's just a mere waiter, and he made trouble with Deputy General Ning, it's really a big move." ”

Ning Ke agreed, "No, I don't know, I think he is so powerful!" ”

Because of Gu Jinfeng's affairs, he doesn't have a good impression of Gu Zifeng, he is incompetent and talentless, if he really resigns, then he will be called a good thing for the people to petition.

He turned his head to Xu Yu again and asked, "By the way, my lord, how is this matter handled?" ”

Xu Yu picked up the booklet on the side and handed it to him, and said lightly, "This Xu Su is really a good dog of Zhou Kaiming, this waiter said don't want it, now the emperor has gone to explain it, the turmoil will be fine, if you have time, go to the Gu Mansion and let him stop for a few days." ”

Ning Ke took the booklet and flipped through it, and was amazed.

"Okay, that's on me!"

Song Rujin shook the folding fan with a smile and asked, "Xiaguan heard that Adjutant Ning was injured when he went on a mission recently, I don't know if the injury can be healed?" ”

"With Lord Lao Song's trouble, it's already good."

"That's fine, I don't know if Lord Xu ever knows the name Qi Ruhai?" Song Rujin took out a yellowed letter from his cuff and put it on the table.

Xu Yu raised his eyebrows: "What Lord Song said, but this is the richest man Qi Ruhai?" ”

Song Rujin stroked his palm, "Exactly, three years ago, he was worried about thieves because of his family wealth, and thousands of people in the Qi Mansion were slaughtered overnight, this matter should be recorded in the booklet of the Criminal Department." ”

Ning Ke was drinking tea and listening, he wanted to know what the old fox was thinking again, this Qi family was wiped out three years ago, and this family fortune had already been moved away by that group of thieves, and now that three years have passed, there must not be much left, and he is afraid that it will be too late for Xiao to think about this money now, right?

Xu Yu looked at the yellowed letter and asked, "What does Lord Song mean that the Criminal Department wants to re-investigate this case?" ”

He smiled and shook his head, "No, no, no, it's not that the Criminal Department wants to investigate thoroughly, but Your Majesty wants to investigate thoroughly." ”

"Your Majesty wants to investigate thoroughly?" Xu Yu frowned slightly, but soon his brows stretched, "I see, so now Lord Song has a clue?" ”

"Naturally, there is, in fact, Xia Guan has been secretly inquiring about this matter during this time and learned a shocking secret."

"Oh?"

I only heard Song Rujin say slowly, "This Qi Ruhai is indeed dead, but his son and daughter survived, as far as the official knows, the group of mountain bandits at that time only took less than one percent of the money......"

Less than 10% of the money?! Ning Ke's eyes widened subconsciously, so could it be that the rest was hidden?

Looking at the surprised expressions on the faces of the two, Song Rujin knew that the two of them should have guessed that aspect.

"Xia Guan guessed that the rest of the money must have been hidden by Qi Ruhai, and it is unknown where it was hidden, but the clue should be on the two surviving children."

Xu Yu chuckled, "In that case, has Lord Song found the only remaining orphan?" ”

"This ......" Song Rujin looked embarrassed, "Not yet, but since this step has been checked, it must not be far away, and Xia Guan came today to discuss something with adults." ”

Xu Yu said, "Lord Song, please speak." ”

"Everyone in the world knows that this Qi Ruhai is the richest man, and all his money may add up to more than what can be measured by this ten thousand, I don't know if the adults have the intention of cooperating?"

Ning Ke's hand under the table clenched subconsciously, and said secretly in his heart: This Song Rujin is too bold, right?

This is simply saying clearly, why don't you and I swallow it together?

He has explained before that this is the emperor's will, could it be that he wants to steal silver from His Majesty's eyes?!

Xu Yu's face turned pale, "I don't know what Lord Song means by this?" ”

Song Rujin hooked her lips and smiled, "What does the lower official mean, the Lord should know, why Your Majesty suddenly wants to find this silver, it is nothing more than to fill the increasingly empty treasury, you also have an army under your hands, so you naturally know how much money it costs to raise this army." ”

"Your Majesty has given your lord the right to conduct a thorough investigation at will, which is nothing more than to make you a knife in his hand, when the knife is sharp, it is fine, if it rusts, the ending must be tragic, rather than waiting for that day to come, it is better to plan for yourself earlier."

Song Rujin's voice resounded in Ning Ke's mind, and he pursed his lips in contemplation.

He is right, now Xu Yu is the knife in His Majesty's hand, and it is also the knife hanging over the head of hundreds of officials, and its role is to deter everyone from reviving the dynasty, but if he doesn't need this knife one day, then what awaits him is a miserable end.

"My lord......" Ning Ke wanted to speak and stopped, but what he was about to say was stopped by Xu Yu raising his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Since Lord Song dares to say things so blatantly, there must be backup behind him, let the official guess, but the eldest prince sent you?" ”

"Hahahaha... Lord Xu is not a loser from the champion Lang, and the officials admire him. Song Rujin admitted very happily, Xu Yu put down the teacup, and tapped his fingertips on the tabletop, as if he was pondering something.

Outside the gazebo, the willows fluttered and the birds chirped crisply, but I didn't know what important matters were being decided inside the gazebo.

Today's harem has a total of three princes, because His Majesty has not yet established a prince, and the waves are endless.

The eldest prince Zhao Heng was born to the queen and the first prince, and it stands to reason that the first prince who should be born is the crown prince, but to everyone's surprise, the emperor did not have a prince, and then the birth of the second prince and the third prince one by one also brought pressure to the queen.

Now Concubine De and Concubine Shu are also pregnant, although I don't know whether it is a man or a woman, but this makes the always steady queen unable to sit still, and if the emperor does not set up a prince for a day, then she will not be able to make up her mind for a day, so she secretly began to attract power for her son.

The first to win over was Song Rujin.

He is a smart man, after analyzing the prince's situation, he found an opportunity to test Xu Yu's meaning, and now Xu Yu is a big celebrity in front of His Majesty, as long as he mentions anything, His Majesty will definitely think about it.

"This matter is not a trivial matter, this official still needs to think about it, if Lord Song is fine, then please go back."

Song Rujin knew that this matter was not in a hurry, so when she got up and handed it over, "Then the next official will take the first step, Adjutant Ning, goodbye." ”

"Lord Song, let's go."

After sending Song Rujin away, Ning Ke returned to the pavilion, opened his mouth, and just wanted to ask a question, but was intercepted by Xu Yu halfway, "I know what you want to ask, sit down and talk." ”

"My lord, this position is not a trivial matter, this Song Rujin is too blatant, right?"
