Ye Dushan looked at Zhu Songtao on the ground, and said with a smile: "Gu Shangshu, after all, Wang Shilang is your subordinate, and he may not be as reliable as you, but I am worried that something has gone wrong, do you need to take a look at this evidence in person and investigate it in detail?"

Zhu Songtao kowtowed repeatedly, and his mouth was indistinct, probably some words of His Majesty's forgiveness.

The smile on Ye Dushan's face gradually converged, and a chill suddenly rose. "He's from your Dali Temple. Qin Cong answered, and Ye Dushan walked back without looking back.

"Fellow Horse has arrived!"

The voice suddenly sounded, and there was a sudden silence in the imperial study. Then Zhu Songtao suddenly showed joy, but he didn't dare to stand up, and his fat body lay on the ground, as if he was convulsing.

Ye Dushan obviously didn't expect Ma Pingchuan to come suddenly, and his face was a little surprised. Wang Shilang showed a look of horror on his face, and he didn't hide it, he hurriedly lowered his head. Only Qin Cong frowned slightly, and then returned to normal.

Ma Pingchuan walked into the imperial study quickly, his eyes swept around, and quickly observed the situation in the imperial study. Ye Dushan first asked, "I don't know what is the matter with the scholar, you want to break into my imperial study?"

"The old minister disturbed His Majesty, I really deserve to die. It's just that I heard that someone is stirring up the relationship between the monarch and the minister, and Weichen thinks that this matter is very important, after all, His Majesty has little experience in the court, and the old minister thinks that he should come to give advice to His Majesty. ”

Ye Dushan sneered and said, "Scholar Ma is really well-informed. Hearing rumors from the DPRK and China, the scholars of Ma University can see thousands of miles and hear in all directions, but they don't know whether they are true or not.

"Some rumors, Your Majesty should be a joke and listen to it, but it can't be taken seriously. Ma Pingchuan said with a dry smile.

Without waiting for Ye Dushan to speak, Qin Cong suddenly spoke: "The person in the mouth of the scholar can refer to Qin? Since ancient times, the monarch is the king, the minister is the minister, the household department is still the treasury, the bribery is conclusive, the evidence is conclusive, what is the relationship between such a thief and His Majesty?"

Ma Pingchuan only felt that his mouth was dry. He also believed that the emperor would not suddenly make trouble, but after all, the position of the household department was very important, and he couldn't rest assured, so he rushed to take a look, and as soon as he came in, he saw that Zhu Songtao seemed to have been frightened and lying on the ground like a worm, and there was Wang Shilang standing next to him, which must have been revealed. After testing the situation for a while, he had the idea of retreating. Now the plan is to abandon the car to protect the handsome.

"The old minister was just worried that His Majesty's experience in the court was still young and difficult to deal with, so he offended His Majesty and asked His Majesty for forgiveness. However, it seems that with Lord Qin and Wang Shilang on his side, the case is clearly understood, and the old minister is unclear about the details, so it is inconvenient to say more, so he retired. Ma Pingchuan bowed deeply. Wang Shilang's expression softened slightly, and Zhu Songtao's whole body was like no bones, and he couldn't stand up again. Ma Pingchuan caught a glimpse of Zhu Songtao's reaction, scolded secretly, ignored it, and wanted to withdraw.

"University scholar, the status of the head of the household is not low, as a member of the court, you should stay and be a witness, right?" Ye Dushan's voice came from behind him, and Ma Pingchuan's actions were sluggish. He reluctantly turned around and squeezed out an ugly smile: "With Lord Qin and Wang Shilang here, the old minister is a bit in the way here." What's more, the old minister still has some things to deal with, so he will leave first. ”

Ye Dushan chuckled and grabbed Qin Cong's previous recital, and said lightly: "On the list of bribes accepted by Zhu Songtao, there are a few names that are a little unexpected by me, according to the scholars, how to deal with them?"

Ma Pingchuan said with a dry smile: "This matter should be handled by Dali Temple according to the law, old minister...... It is inconvenient for the old minister to intervene. Ye Dushan's gaze scanned for a moment on the fold, and gently spit out three words: "Ma Pingchuan......"

Ma Pingchuan's smile suddenly froze on his face, and his eyes stared at Ye Dushan, trying to find some clues from his expression. I saw Ye Dushan showing a thoughtful look, pondering for a moment, and gently closing the fold. Ma Pingchuan only felt that his heart was about to jump out. Ye Dushan raised his head and said with a smile: "One horse and one horse, the official fortune is prosperous." Ma University scholar and veteran of the three dynasties, a very popular minister, may be a lot of blessings thanks to this name. It's just that a friend of a scholar may not have the blessing of you, but there are many people who seem to have a close relationship with a scholar. ”

After speaking, Ye Dushan handed the fold back to Qin Cong, clapped his hands and said, "This matter will be handed over to Dali Temple, don't let me down." He walked up to Ma Pingchuan and patted him on the shoulder.

"Accepting bribes is a very important matter, and it involves the friends of the Scholar of Ma University, and the Scholar of the University of Malaysia will not complain about the ruthlessness of my iron hand, right?" Ye Dushan said with a smile.

Ye Dushan's hand touched Ma Pingchuan's shoulder, and he felt his whole body stiff. Then Ma Pingchuan's smile was still stiff, but the light in his eyes burst out: "Your Majesty said that you are laughing, the old minister is Your Majesty's person, where did he come from, the old minister doesn't know anything." Your Majesty Shengming, no matter whose name there is on it, presumably Lord Qin will not be untargeted, and he will naturally be severely punished. If Your Majesty is fine, the old minister will retire first. ”

Ye Dushan didn't stop him anymore, and watched Ma Pingchuan come out of the imperial study.

Ma Pingchuan just walked out of the imperial study and wiped the sweat from his forehead, but his previously cowering gaze suddenly became sharp, his rickety back was also straight, and his invisible aura spread out. A guest from the palace who had been guarding the door of the imperial study for a long time greeted him and asked, "My lord, is Your Majesty to blame?"

"Nope. Zhu Songtao will definitely not be able to keep it, and we are afraid that we will have to let out the position of the household department. However, His Majesty didn't embarrass me anymore, just took a copy of Qin Cong's recital and glared at me for a long time to scare me, which made me a little afraid. Ma Pingchuan frowned slightly.

Keqing asked, "Is it the list of Zhu Shangshu who accepted bribes?"

Ma Pingchuan snorted: "He's beating me, but he doesn't want to tear his face with me for the time being." Keqing thought for a moment, and then asked, "Maybe it's not that His Majesty's subordinates are merciful, but that there won't be an adult's name on the list?"

Ma Pingchuan shook his head and said firmly: "No." The loss of Zhu Songtao was entirely because I never expected Wang Rong to suddenly defect. He dared to do this, he must have relied on something. He naturally knew that Zhu Songtao was my henchman, and for him, it was the safest thing to bring down my backstage together. The list he provided, including the evidence he left behind, would naturally focus on me. ”

"Wang Rong was originally a disciple of an adult, how did Your Majesty subdue this Wang Rong?"

"Naturally, it's money. Our majesty has reminded me that since these people can be bought by us, they can naturally be bought by others and betray us. ”

Keqing's face showed a puzzled look: "Before, the household department was in the hands of the adults, and the adults knew the cost of money and silver well, where did Your Majesty take out the money enough to buy a household servant?" As soon as the words came out, he thought of something, and after a moment of silence, he let out a soft "oh".

He himself continued: "The reward given by His Majesty is naturally the position of the head of the household. Most of the oil and water in the household department were fished away by Zhu Songtao before, so it is no wonder that Wang Rong wants to find another way. He betrayed us, so naturally we have to move closer to Your Majesty in order to protect ourselves. ”

Ma Pingchuan slowly walked in the direction of his mansion and muttered, "This Your Majesty is a little different from what we expected. ”

"Then Qin Cong, can you still use it for us?" Keqing followed behind Ma Pingchuan.

"There is a price to negotiate for everything, and accepting Qin Cong is naturally no exception, but the price given by the emperor may not be able to afford it. Ma Pingchuan's words have a deep meaning.

"With the financial resources of adults, can you still afford it?" The guest Qing looked incredible, and even showed a cautious expression, "Could it be that Prince Han ......?"

Ma Pingchuan glanced at him and shook his head unhappily.

"What Qin Cong wants, like the emperor, is to be peaceful and peaceful, and the four seas will return to their hearts. Only the same way can be used by the emperor. Would you like to help him?" Ma Pingchuan glared at the guest with a mocking look on his face.

The man hurriedly replied, "My subordinates don't dare." ”

Ma Pingchuan snorted and said with a cruel smile: "It's a pity that I'm just a layman, and I only love this shiny gold and silver jewelry!"
