Ye Yongjia spread a stack of official documents on the table, flattened it with his hands, and handed it over to Lu Deguang for reference. Lu Deguang looked at the acquaintance beside him and asked:

"You gave the order to the planning room?"

Tongzhi's face turned pale: "It's Ye Tong's judgment." ”

"Lord Tongzhi, you're not good," Ye Yongjia argued, "This chapter was obviously written by you, how can there be evidence that it is me?" ”

"The prefect's chapter is not in your hand? I also know that the yamen can't get it! Seeing that he did not admit it, Tongzhi was already anxious.

"Adults can come whenever they want, and no one dares to take a stamp and stamp it, right?"

"You ......" Tongzhi pointed at Ye Yongjia, and then turned his face to Lu Deguang and said: "Lord Lu, I have evidence!" If you invite Scribe Chen to come, he must also say that the seal was sealed without authorization! ”

"You know that I have discussed the matter of cutting the six rooms, and the scribe Chen has a grudge because of this, how can he say good things about me? I know that this is deliberately harming me! Ye Yongjia was indignant.

"Okay," the silent Lu Deguang finally spoke, "Tongzhi don't involve others to come in, just admit it." ”

Tongzhi couldn't refute it, but he felt that his eyes were weak, and he touched the sweat on his forehead with trembling hands.

The hearing was held in the lobby. Because of the presence of that piece of paper, the evidence is conclusive, and the process is much more casual; After the crime was punished according to the law, the documents were submitted to the provincial government, and after the provincial approval was given, the matter of dismissal was discussed. As for Chen Shuyi, because of Yuan Lun, Lu Deguang didn't want to offend, so he could only let him live in the planning room for the time being.

It was noon, Lu Deguang was busy with his official work, felt tired, and suddenly became sleepy, so he came out of the court, and fearing that someone would see him, so he simply slept in the yamen and went straight into the meeting room.

He strode into the back room, took off his official uniform, threw it to Li Yong, told him to pour a bowl of tea first, and sat on the innermost bed by himself, watching Li Yong busy with his work. "Ye Yongjia is really capable of doing great things. Last time, the salt ship was successfully sent to Huaining, and this time the matter of Chen Shuren was able to get out of the way. I really don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. ”

"Of course it's a good thing." Li Yong put the tea in front of Lu Deguang.

He took a sip and sighed: "Li Yong, you understand it so well, why don't you understand this truth?" He is not an idle man, and if he is full-fledged, he will rival me; Besides, I have a feud with him, and it is inevitable that something will happen! ”

"Don't you still want to use him against Yuan Lun?" Li Yong asked with a smile unhurriedly. It was a wicked laugh.

"That's right. There is no way to have it both ways. Lu Deguang shook his head and drank the tea ceremony.

"Slaves have a plan."

Lu Deguang's eyes lit up, put down the tea bowl, and stared at him intently: "Say!" ”

"If you know the same thing, why don't you let Ye Yongjia replace it? Tongzhi has taken care of two houses, and everything such as bribery, secret fraud, murder and extermination, etc., must go through the hands of Tongzhi. No matter how he has a clean sleeve, in this situation, if he does not accept stolen goods, he will be excluded by everyone and depressed. In this way, it is not less than a year, and it is all tied to the same rope with the complicity and benefit of the master; If he wants to argue with his master, his bad deeds will be revealed, and he will have to bow down and obey his master's orders. This plan can be applied, and Ye Yongjia is like a puppet. In addition, as he gets older, his ambition is determined and his spirit will be damaged, but he is just a staff member. Lai lightly recounted his long-term plans.

"You are really the brains of this mansion, and you are extraordinary!" This ruthless trick made Lu Deguang sigh and praise.

"But it's going to ruin that kid......" This is the rest of the emotion.

However, a few days later, the provincial government approved the document, ordered the dismissal of the original acquaintance, and agreed to fill the vacancy; Lu Deguang played Chen Ye Yongjia as a witty and clever government, and he could be the same knowledge, so the province immediately moved Ye Yongjia to the same knowledge according to his opinion.

After these dangerous and dangerous tribulations, the promotion could no longer produce any wavering in his heart, perhaps this official hat of the same knowledge still hid a deeper intention, but he did not know. He was like a blind man, walking alone on the edge of a cliff, surrounded by bottomless darkness. He was wandering above the darkness, helpless fear was the only thing that enveloped him, and every step was a wandering of unknown circumstances.

But he is still the same as always, just like when he faced Wei Huai in Qi He, he retains great enthusiasm for his own heart. But when he has gone through all the torments that followed, who can accuse him of all his bad deeds?

Ye Yongjia and the two of them entered the yamen. In front of the lobby, there were four officials, standing in shifts, and they all greeted the new colleague. Ye Tongzhi also returned the salute to them, asked some unhurried official duties, and went around from the lobby to the courtyard at the back. The courtyard is open-air, leaning on the west side of the council room, and the east side is the second hall, with a few simple tables and chairs, and there are no calligraphy and paintings on the wall; There is also a study inside, which is extremely simple. Looking at it, it is naturally not as grand as the prefect's office.

Ye Yongjia came out of the study and saw a big man who seemed to be doing rough work and greeted him with a smile, he rolled up his sleeves, his arms were strong, his legs were thick and powerful, but his body was not fat, but he was strong.

"Below is the groom of the same prefect's house, just now the official gave me your horse, and I led it to the stable from the back door and tied it in the shed, so I came late. I'm going to let you meet this person. The man smiled kindly.

"Tongzhi Yamen also has a groom?" Kou Zhong looked at him from the side.

"There's another one, but watch the horses at the stable." He smiled heartily all the time.

"Who sent you?" Ye Yongjia asked.

The man restrained his smile and said, "That's it...... The deposed fellow likes to raise horses, and we will take care of it. ”

Ye Yongjia saw that he didn't speak in a good tone, and according to the previous events, he must not take it lightly this time, so he asked, "Where are you sleeping?" ”

"We are all poor, it is enough for someone to pay us, how dare we ask for a house to sleep!"

"Got it. Go ahead and get busy. Ye Yongjia glanced at him suspiciously until he left the courtyard.

"The poor man's face is still so white...... Full of lies. Kou Zhong muttered.

"I guess the people sent by the Governor's Office may want to kill me......," Ye Yongjia paced, "but it's definitely not in the yamen." There are officials outside here, and they don't dare to do it...... It may also be just a message to Yuan Lun. ”

He turned his face to Kou Zhong and smiled: "Or maybe I'm thinking too much, I shouldn't have to worry about my life." ”

"The master still has to worry." Kou Zhong was thinking about Ye Yongjia all the time.

Ye Yongjia went straight back to the lobby, and saw that several officials were talking about idle days, so he called the two of them and ordered in his ear: "When you have time, go to the backyard to spy on those two grooms, and report whatever you say." Remember not to be noticed. ”

The officials were all from Lu Deguang's new faction, and Ye Yongjia also trusted them, and patted them on the shoulder, and then walked out of the yamen.

"Don't go, sir! I have something for you. ”

A lean old man stood in front of him, looking at him with a sly eye, which made him uncomfortable.
