Chapter Seventy-Five: Beheading Officials and Suppressing the Court (2)

I saw Eunuch Lu smiling wickedly, swaggering over, and slapped the documents in his hand on the table: "Shi Siban, tell me, how to deal with it?" ”

Shi Xiushen saw that he had bad intentions, and he had doubts in his heart, so he hesitantly took the paperwork, opened a page, and his face turned dark.

"What letter?" Ye Yongjia became more and more uneasy, stretched out his hand to ask for it, and read that it was written: "Please forward this letter to Ye Shilang: Your Majesty's will has been decided, and there is no place for the new policy to turn around." You Su went to report to the willow thief and persuaded him not to go against the will of the people. ’

"How?" Eunuch Lu saw that he had almost finished reading, so he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Lord Ye, you are very wrong, and don't conspire with the traitorous party." ”

Ye Yongjia's hand trembled and grasped the corner of the letter: "Father-in-law, let me tell you about this slowly...... First, I am the most up-to-date defender of the New Deal, this is not nonsense, everyone has seen it; Second, the letter was placed in the library, indicating that Ye had never received it, so it was stored here. ”

"My lord misunderstood. The people in our palace only bother to serve the emperor, how can we know what is going on outside? I don't know how many faces the people outside hide; As for the confiscation of this letter, it has been verified by many parties, and it is not our responsibility. But our family still has some questions: if you want to transfer it to someone, why not put it in the middle hall, but hide it in the library? It was probably the sudden arrival of the army today, and their people were caught off guard, so they hid this letter. ”

These words were like a huge thunder that exploded, straight into Ye Yongjia's ears, and immediately made him tremble. He felt the extreme danger of his current situation, but now he was suspected of this, and he was afraid that it would become a sin to open his mouth to defend himself, so he was silent, resolutely not spitting out a word, and put all his hope on Shi Xiushen.

"Lord Ye, so you are...... Admit? Although Lu Xinzhong faced Ye Yongjia, Yu Guang turned to Shi Xiushen.

"I'll take another look." Shi Xiu ignored his vicious eyes and snatched the letter back with his hand.

"Shi Siban, only one or two sentences horizontally and vertically, what do you want to look at it?" Eunuch Lu raised his voice even higher, "Chief Shen sent me here to prevent you from favoritism. ”

Shi Xiushen sneered: "What can I do for selfishness? No one and I have no affection, except for the emperor! ”

Seeing that he had lifted the emperor out, Eunuch Lu really had no choice but to turn his face: "It's better to be like this, don't be like that Rong Qing, and don't spare people with your bare mouth." ”

Shi Xiushen glared at him, then re-examined the content of the letter, and took this opportunity to think hard.

"I'm done." After not waiting for a moment, he folded the letter and threw it to Eunuch Lu.

"What do you think?" Lu Xinzhong asked.

"The official thinks that it is not enough to spend a lot of time. If the father-in-law still has hesitation, he can find out who the messenger was at that time and ask him to come in for questioning. ”

Eunuch Lu said angrily: "You are obviously covering up for him!" The whole army is their people, how can it be true? ”

Shi Xiushen also stood up and patted the case: "There is no witness, let alone physical evidence, then this is difficult to establish lone evidence!" ”

"If the evidence is not evidence, there is suspicion, take it away!" Eunuch Lu blew the dust in his hand.

"Shi Mou said that the forbidden army only obeys the emperor alone. The emperor only said that he would search for Jiewenwu, but did not say that he would arrest another person. If you want to transfer my soldiers, write a request on the spot and let Manager Shen submit it to the emperor for approval! Shi Xiushen propped up the table with both hands, and a pair of tiger eyes stared straight over.

How could Lu Xinzhong ever see this posture? He timidly removed his left hand from the table, and a hint of fear flashed across his face, and most of his temperament disappeared.

"Do you write?"

"I ...... I don't write! Eunuch Lu still deliberately maintained an angry tone, but he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, "This way and that, it's all up to you to toss!" ”

After that, he walked outside the house with a smile and called the little eunuch who followed him: "Get up the sedan chair!" Let's go back and give the boss an errand! ”

The two hurriedly followed, and Ye Yongjia persuaded half-stopped and half-sent: "The matter of verification is not over yet, I hope my father-in-law will stay." ”

"The suspects can talk, what do I have left? Walk! As soon as he waved his hand, he strode into the sedan chair, the curtain was rolled up, and the little eunuchs carried it away with a sway.

"Congratulations to Grandpa Lu!" Shi Xiu looked into the distance and hugged his fists, showing beads of sweat on the back of his palms and hands in the sun.

"Hard work Brother Ming!" Ye Yongjia bent over him and bowed.

Shi Xiushen laughed, and immediately patted him on the shoulder a few times: "Don't thank me, it's this eunuch who doesn't know the height of the sky, and comes to confront you, the protΓ©gΓ© of Liu Zhennian!" However, it is not good for anyone to be stalked like this. ”

"What does this eunuch do? The arrogance is so arrogant, even more powerful than Manager Shen. ”

"You're not in the forbidden, of course I don't know where this guy came from. He is over 40 years old this year, originally a domestic slave appointed by the former prefect of Jinan, and was later expelled from the palace for committing crimes, and had no livelihood, so he came to Beijing from the palace to work as a eunuch. But in recent years, he has been appreciated by Shen Jing, although he has not moved, he often stands around, gives advice, and is deeply loved. This person is vicious and domineering, but he has ink in his stomach and is very intelligent, if it were not for my position to suppress him, it would be difficult to win with his tongue alone. ”

Ye Yongjia remembered it in his heart, nodded, and returned to the book pavilion with him, and sat down again.

"By the way, Tinglong didn't ask ......"

"Brother Ming Zhen saved Zaixia's life again, that kind of words...... What else do I have to say. Ye Yongjia lowered his head and sighed.

"No, I was just trying to confide in you." Shi Xiu said cautiously, "On the matter of Jiewen and Wu's kneeling on the day, I was thinking, first, to be worthy of the emperor, and second, to be worthy of the new policy that the people of the world are looking forward to." If you persuade them to go back, you will miss the country's plan if you delay it again and again! Besides, a person like Jie Wenwu is still protecting him! ”

Ye Yongjia remembered the conversation with Jie Wenwu, and his heart couldn't help but feel desolate. He replied in a low voice: "Maybe I am taking care of my selfish intentions, but I really think that Jiegong is not bad, but he was blinded by this so-called peaceful and prosperous world, so he was regarded by you as aiding and abusive." In a few days, he will be dismissed, which is actually a good thing, as long as he stays away from the interference of officialdom, sooner or later he will see through this. ”

Shi Xiushen stopped talking.

"In other words, can Shi Siban help me in the new policy?" He looked up again.

Shi Xiu listened cautiously and smiled faintly: "Although I admire your new policy and want to contribute to the country's prosperity with you, my identity does not allow me to do this." As a foreign surname, I can rely on my loyalty to the emperor. Fulfilling the emperor's will and alienating myself from the courtiers is something I must do. So just like now, you and I can take a look from a distance and understand it, needless to say, it's enough. The so-called: the friendship of gentlemen, light as water. ”
