A few large candles and lanterns were hung under the eaves outside the door of the duty room, and from the top of their heads shone four eunuchs who were sitting on chairs at the door. Chen Hong sat on the chair in the middle on the upper right, his still red and swollen face that others could not see clearly; The second Bingbi eunuch sat on the chair in the middle and the lower left, and the third and fourth Bingbi eunuchs sat on the chairs on both sides, just like Chen Hong, with a shadowy face.

The faces of the twenty or so people standing in the courtyard were all brightened by the lanterns.

More than a dozen leaders of the Criminal Division stood on the left side of the courtyard, more than a dozen leaders of the Zhenfu Division stood on the right side of the courtyard, and Zhu Qi and Qi Dazhu were both standing in the first row on this side.

The third level of the official university is these people. In addition to kneeling on both legs, this is the place where you kneel on one leg. When the people arrived, more than 20 people knelt down with their right legs and supported the ground with their left fists: "Subordinates, see Gonggong Chen, Gonggong Huang, Gonggong Shi, and Gonggong Meng!" ”

Only Chen Hong knew the will, and at dusk an order called everyone over, and the three eunuchs on the chair, Huang, Shi, and Meng, did not know what to do, so they all looked at him at this time.

Chen Hong slowly stood up: "There is a will, kneel that leg for me!" ”

It turned out to be a message! brushed the ground, and the 20 or so people who were still kneeling on one leg immediately knelt down on their legs.

Huang, Shi, and Meng were also stunned, and quickly stood up and knelt down in front of their chairs to Chen Hong.

Chen Hong was already tall when he stood alone, but at this time, the palace hat on his head was covered with layers of white silk, and it looked even taller.

"The Criminal Division, the Suppression Division, you minions have listened!" Thinking that tomorrow it would be possible to take charge of the big seal of the celebrant eunuch, and at this time it was the time to establish authority, Chen Zhishi's voice was particularly sharp, "Since Emperor Cheng Zuwen set up the Punishment Division and the Suppression Division, there are rules, and the two divisions are directly in charge of the chief eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch. Some minions actually bypassed Chen Hong and directly reported to Lu Fang without authorization! When did I change the rules for you? Or the rules that Lu Fang changed for you? I regard you as siblings, and I have no choice but to see me as a fiction! There are even those who know that sarcasm and slander are not only not indignant at the monarch's father, but also exonerate him in every way! I raised you minions for nothing! With Chen Hong Xianger and others reaffirming the law of the ancestors, those who have committed the above-mentioned offenses will be punished lightly in order to show warning. ”

Chen Hong deliberately paused there after announcing his decree, and the courtyard was dark and quiet.

Anyone who can kneel here has the ability to feel the reaction of others without using their eyes. At this time, everyone's sixth sense could see Chen Hong's gaze looking at the two people on the right: one was Zhu Qi and the other was Qi Dazhu.

"Bring it in!" Chen Hong didn't move Zhu Qi or Qi Dazhu first, but shouted outside the courtyard.

The two eunuchs of the Criminal Prosecution Division rushed in one by one with a person's wrists from behind - under the lantern, it could be seen that the person was actually a middle-aged brocade guard who took Hai Mu's money in front of Hai Rui's door to buy wine and food for her!

The two eunuchs pressed him to kneel in front of Chen Hong.

Chen Hong: "Whose subordinate is this minion?" Admit it to yourselves! ”

The leader of the Punishment Division on the left and the leader of the Suppression Division on the right all raised their heads and looked at the middle-aged brocade guard who was escorted.

"Admit it yourself!" Chen Hong drank again.

"Wait!" Huang Jin, who was kneeling in front of the chair, shouted.

Chen Hong was stunned.

Huang Jin raised his head and looked at Chen Hong at this time: "May I ask Gonggong Chen, has the will been read?" ”

Just waiting for Huang Jin to raise the bar with him today, at this time, he was naturally going to call himself out for asking such a question, but Chen Hong did not answer.

"Is it all over?" Huang Jin raised his voice.

"How about the reading? What if you don't finish reading it? Today is not the past, Chen Hong's rhetorical question has revealed a murderous aura.

Huang Jin stood up suddenly: "Let us kneel after reading out?" Is it the emperor or you who are kneeling now! If you don't talk about the rules, you ask others to talk about the rules. Rise up, all stand up! ”

"Who dare!" Chen Hong's voice is like a bird's night call.

Except for Huang Jin standing there, none of the others dared to stand up, including the other two eunuchs surnamed Meng and Shi.

The screams slowly faded in the air, and the courtyard became even darker and more silent.

"Command!" Chen Hongbo suddenly announced the decree at this time, but his voice was deliberately low, but his eyes were slanted to Huang Jin.

It was Huang Jin's turn to be stunned, and he held his breath in his throat, but he had to kneel down again.

Jiajing's dictation has always been cloudy and foggy, and the original intention was to make those officials figure out and be frightened, and they had no choice but to mention that the Criminal Division and the Suppression Department had not read any books, so there was a kind decree, and the celebrant could use his own words to explain to them when he passed the decree, Chen Hong happened to use this power to carry his own words at this time, imitating Jiajing's tone to use thunder to beat people: "It's really 'There must be grass within ten steps!'" ’”

Chen Hong deliberately stretched the word "Fang" longer and said it very heavily, and stopped when he said this, letting everyone figure it out. Everyone was really surprised, especially Huang Jin. He understood that this thunder had actually slashed at the old ancestor!

Chen Hong then imitated: "The twenty-four yamen in the palace are overgrown with fragrant grass, and now even the Zhenfu Division is overgrown with fragrant grass. Jinyi Guard, you minions, first look at the clothes you are wearing, which one is not full of flowers? But I don't know how expensive or cheap, I want to add grass to it! I don't have more than eight sets of clothes for the four seasons, and none of the officials in the court who are below the third rank are better dressed than you. When did I treat you badly? The kung fu practice is too much, and the elbow is turned outward! A small head of the household department, under your noses, I started to write an article, and the Thirteen Taibao had two to help him speak! Which two, stand up for yourself! ”

Zhu Qi and Qi Dazhu stood up almost at the same time, walked to the stone road in the middle, and knelt in front of the middle-aged brocade guard in front of Chen Hong.

"It turned out to be the seventh master and the thirteenth master." Chen Hong's tone pretended to be particularly friendly, "The seventh master is good, the thirteenth master is good!" ”

"Grandpa Chen!" Zhu Qi stood up like a mountain, "The subordinates have committed which one to deal with, and they will be guilty." After speaking, he tore off his clothes and took them off and put them on the ground, leaving his body naked.

Qi Dazhu took off his clothes and put them on the ground, and he was also naked.

Chen Hong's gaze quickly enveloped the masters in the courtyard, knowing that it was time to collect and release, his voice softened suddenly: "Just now, Gonggong Huang asked me if the emperor's will has been read, and now I tell you, the holy will has been transmitted." Kneeling should be on your knees, and if you have chairs, please sit on a chair, and if you don't have a chair, sit down in the yard. ”

Huang Jin led the other two eunuchs to stand up. Especially Huang Jin, this time he got up very heavy, the two eunuchs sat down, he slowly sat down in his chair, and after sitting down, he bowed his head and said nothing.

The leaders of the Criminal Division on the left and the leaders of the Suppression Division on the right also sat down cross-legged in the courtyard.

Only Zhu Qi, Qi Dazhu, and the middle-aged brocade guard knelt on the stone road in the middle.

"Liu Er." Chen Hong called the middle-aged brocade guard.

The middle-aged brocade guard was still wearing a shirt, and raised his head: "Back to Gonggong Chen, the slave is here." ”

Chen Hong: "You've been in the Zhenfu Division for almost 20 years, right?" I really didn't expect that an old man like you would go to the house of a scapegoat as an errand boy to buy something. Touch your chest and do the math, the emperor can spit out the things he fed your family and load them on several boats, right? How can I cure you if you have no conscience like this? ”

"Grandpa Chen!" Qi Dazhu raised his head suddenly, "Liu Er is my subordinate, that head of the household Hai Rui once saved my life, I asked them to take care of the point, and all the sins should be taken care of." Please ask Gonggong Chen not to pursue Liu Er. ”

"Hero!" Chen Hong immediately praised it, "Zhi'en Tubao, your words really stumped me." Seventh Master, you are his master, how do you say to deal with it? ”

Zhu Qi had no choice but to answer: "If the Long Live Lord didn't say to cut off our heads, according to the family law, Liu Er should have twenty court staffs, Qi Dazhu should have forty court staffs, and I should receive eighty rods!" ”

"Then let's do it according to the law of the family." Chen Hong's gaze looked at the leaders of the Criminal Division in the front row on the left, "You know what to do." Break the skin and flesh and give it to the Lord Banzai. Let the master long live the lord discouraged. Do you understand? ”

The candles in front of the altar were lit, and the lanterns that should be lit in the ashram were also lit.

Jiajing didn't know when he put on the robe embroidered with the Tao Te Ching, knelt down on the altar of worship, bowed three times, knelt there, held the Dharma fingers in his hand, and recited words in his mouth.

Lu Fang knelt on the edge of his futon, lying on his stomach tightly and motionless.

After Jiajing finished reciting the mantra, he stood up, walked to the imperial case, picked up the cinnabar pen, dipped the cinnabar in the cinnabar box, and then quickly drew on a piece of yellow table paper - a strange-shaped talisman was drawn!

Jiajing put down his pen and looked at the talisman for a long time.

The cinnabar on the talisman quickly dried up, and Jiajing held it with both hands: "Lu Fang." ”

"Slaves, slaves are here." Lu Fang was still lying on his stomach, his voice choked.

Jiajing: "I've been with me for most of my life, and with this, I can keep you safe for the rest of your life." ”

"Slave ......" Lu Fang choked up when he said these two words, and swallowed the tears for a long time, "I can serve my master for more than forty years...... The minions are content......"

"Take it." Jiajing stopped looking at him, walked to the dragon bed in the curtain, and lay down on his side.

Lu Fang turned around, kowtowed three times to Jiajing's lying back, then stood up, slowly walked to the imperial case, held the talisman with both hands, and walked out of the door of the fine house with his head down.

Jiajing was lying facing the bed, his eyes were open, and there were tears dripping from the corners of his eyes at this time. Suddenly, he heard voices in the main hall outside the house.

It was Lu Fang's voice: "Grandpa Chen, long live the master, please leave it to you." I've kowtowed to you. ”

Jiajing rolled over and sat up.

Chen Hong's voice immediately came from outside: "Kill the minions!" It is the duty of a slave to serve the master, and the ancestors must not fold the life of the slave! ”

Then came the sound of two people kowtowing.

Then there was silence. Obviously, Lu Fang had already walked out of the palace gate.

Jiajing stood up, slowly walked to the futon and sat down cross-legged.

Chen Hong's figure appeared at the door of the house: "Long live the master, the minions of the Zhenfu Division have been punished, and now they themselves have come to ask the master for their crimes." ”

Jiajing: "Come in, come in." ”

"Let's go inside." Chen Hong led in front, the first was Zhu Qi who was naked, the second was Qi Dazhu who was naked, and finally Liu Er, who was naked.

Chen Hong kowtowed to Jiajing and stood up beside him.

Zhu Qi led Qi Dazhu and Liu Er to kneel down with difficulty, kowtowed with both hands on the ground, supported the ground with both hands, knelt and turned around, and turned his back to Jiajing.

The backs of all three people are bloody and blurred!

"Alas!" Jiajing sighed for a long time, "'If you can't raise your father, you can't teach the teacher to be lazy'." I've had it too! ”

Chen Hong knelt down: "Long live the master, the master said so, and the slave will take the court staff by himself." ”

Jiajing: "You should think about your mistakes. I told you to say hello to them, and I didn't tell you to beat people like that. ”

Chen Hong immediately raised his hand and slapped loudly on his still red and swollen face, and then fanned again.

"That's it." Jiajing stopped him.

Chen Hong fell down.

Jiajing: "Zhu Xi said that everything has a reason. How could the old thirteen come to me on an errand? It's all because that Hai Rui saved him at the beginning. If he doesn't even recognize Hai Rui today, he won't recognize me in the future. That's the reason. A baker's dozen. ”

Qi Dazhu lay down with his back to him: "The slave is here." ”

Jiajing: "Go to that Hai Rui's house, the benefactor who saved his life, he should go and see." ”

Qi Dazhu was lying there: "It's ......"

Jiajing: "I saw it with my heavenly eyes, the Li Shizhen who treated King Yu is now at Hai Rui's house, you go and let Li Shizhen treat your injuries by the way." There is good medicine for you, and my master and Liu Er also ask for some. ”

"Yes......" Qi Dazhu replied with tears in his eyes.

Jiajing turned to Chen Hong and said, "A small head of the household department, he doesn't even have a needle in his hand, what are you sending so many brocade guards to guard at his door?" All called back. ”

"The minions obey."

Chen Hong replied, but there was silence in his heart.

The friends of the ancients were able to accompany each other all day long without tiredom when the other party was in adversity. Li Shizhen diagnosed Hai's wife's pulse, prescribed medicine, and personally went to buy medicine for her, and came back, so that Hai Rui could get through, and at this time, he also accompanied Hai Rui, Hai Rui, to sit here and talk.

The three of them were here, and the pot was boiling on a small charcoal stove in the room, steaming hot.

"Stand out for some charcoals." Li Shizhen said to Hai Rui.

"Yes." Hai Jui stood up and walked over to the small stove, picked up the tongs and pulled out some charcoals.

Hai Mu looked at Li Shizhen: "Imperial Doctor Li, although the house is narrow, it is not easy for you to leave with those people standing outside the door at this time, just make a bunk in the study and sleep with Ruxian." ”

Li Shizhen smiled: "I don't sleep with him, his snoring makes me sleep badly." The people outside the door couldn't stop me, so I'll sit for a while and leave. ”

Hai Rui came back: "Mother, you are tired of getting old, go to rest first, and my son will talk to Mr. Li again." The medicine was boiled and sent him away. ”

Haimu stood up, and Li Shizhen stood up, but at this time someone knocked on the door.

All three of them looked at each other, then at the courtyard gate.

"The mother goes to rest first, and the son goes to see." Hai Rui said and walked out of the house, stood in the courtyard gate and asked, "Who?" Is it a business matter, or is it a private matter? ”

In the main house on the north side of the open door, Li Shizhen and Hai Mu also looked at it.

Qi Dazhu's voice came from outside the door: "Engong, it's me." Dazhu came to visit Mrs. Tai, Mrs. and Engong. ”

Hai Rui was silent for a moment: "I have already said during the day, the past is over, and there is no need for you to come and see us." It's late at night, Mrs. Tai and Mrs. are asleep, you can go. He turned around and was about to leave.

"Eun Gong!" Qi Dazhu's voice outside the door was a little excited, "I was ordered to come to see Engong!" ”

Hai Rui stopped in his tracks, his eyes flashing.

In the north house, the sea mother spoke: "Open the door and let the family in!" ”

Hai Rui walked back to the door, pulled the latch and opened the courtyard door.

A little lantern light came in, and a person in brocade clothes stood on the side of the door with a lantern, and Qi's wife stood at the door with Qi Dazhu in her arms.

Qi's wife was also very excited when she saw Hai Rui's eyes: "You helped yourself up." ”

Qi Dazhu stretched out a hand to hold the door frame, and his woman knelt down to Hai Rui outside the door: "Dazhu's daughter-in-law kowtowed to Engong!" He kowtowed.

Hai Rui was very polite to her: "Hurry up." Please come in. As he spoke, his eyes were already focused on Qi Dazhu, who was standing there with difficulty.

Qi's wife stood up and went to pick up Qi Dazhu again.

"Hurt?" Hai Rui looked at Qi Dazhu.

Qi Dazhu smiled: "Flesh injury, don't worry about Engong." ”

Hai Rui: "Help him in." ”

Qi's wife helped Qi Dazhu cross the threshold and entered the courtyard gate.

The brocade guard with the lantern was waiting outside the door.

Hai Rui closed the door: "Walk slowly." Come with me. ”

The three of them slowly walked towards the main house to the north.

Overnight, the four people who were still on duty in the cabinet during the day were urgently summoned.

The four of them knew that there must have been a big change, although they were in the study, everyone was more nervous than in the cabinet during the day, and they didn't sit down in front of their respective chairs, and they all looked at Xu Jie, who was sitting in the middle.

Xu Jie's face was solemn, but his tone was still calm: "Sit down, please sit down first." ”

Li Chunfang was on his right, Gao Gong was on his left, Zhao Zhenji was next to Li Chunfang, and Xu Fan was next to Gao Gong.

The stack of tickets was still on Xu Jie's lap, and he slowly looked at the four of them: "I just received the order, the emperor ordered us to bring these tickets to Yuxi Palace tomorrow to approve the red." ”

Gao Gong immediately answered: "The emperor approved these votes? ”

Xu Jie sighed lightly: "What do you want us to do in Yuxi Palace?" ”

All four were silent again.

Xu Jie: "I'll tell you another piece of news." Father-in-law Lu Fang and Father-in-law Lu have been sent to Nanjing to guard the tomb of Emperor Taizu Gao! ”

The four of them were all startled, and they looked at Xu Jie with wide eyes, almost in disbelief.

Xu Jie: "Chen Hong and Gonggong Chen took over the position of the eunuch in charge of the seal, and he should approve tomorrow's red." ”

All four of them were silent.

Xu Jie: "I can't hesitate anymore. Tonight, we will recount the votes, allocate 1.5 million yuan from the other items to the Ministry of Industry, immediately feed the materials, and immediately repair those palaces and those two Taoist temples! ”

Li Chunfang took the initiative to answer this time: "The military department can divide 500,000 taels, and Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang's military department sent them a document, don't take the initiative to attack this year, hold a few fortresses, and guard against the Japanese first." ”

Xu Jie: "Quasi-proposed." Su Qing, can the arrears owed to officials be repaid less this time? ”

Gao Gong: "What else can't." Officials of various ministries and halls in Beijing, governors of other provinces, political envoys, and officials at the level of procurators will not receive their salaries this year. The Beijing officials below the fourth rank will make up half of it, and the local officials below the fourth rank will make up all the supplements, otherwise they will let go of their hands and be greedy. ”

Xu Jie: "How much silver can be divided in this way?" ”

Gao Gong: "It should also be four or five hundred thousand taels." ”

"That's still five or six hundred thousand." Xu Jie looked at Zhao Zhenji, "This can involve the people in the affected areas and the people in the places where taxes are harsh." Is there a way for the Ministry of Households? ”

Zhao Zhenji: "I want to find a way. Let's divide 600,000 taels from this piece first. ”

Xu Jie: "Then hurry up and redraft the ticket!" ”

On the main hall of Yuxi Palace, two large red sandalwood cases were placed on the left and right.

There is still a celebrant standing on the left, but there is no longer Lu Fang, and the robe on Chen Hong's body has also changed, which is the first-class uniform that Lu Fang originally wore. Next to him was still Huang Jin, who was not implicated, but changed into the uniform of the chief eunuch. Then there are the original two eunuchs, and one has been added, which is a fresh face.

There is still a cabinet standing on the right, the first one is, of course, Xu Jie, there is an embroidered pier beside him, but he doesn't sit. Next to each other are Li Chunfang and Gao Gong. Next down are Zhao Zhenji and Xu Fan, who are present.

"Elder Xu Ge." Chen Hong palmed the palm print for the first time, and was very respectful to Xu Jie, and said with a bow, "Report the votes of the cabinet to be subordinate." ”

"Okay." Xu Jie looked at Li Chunfang first, "Elder Li Ge, the military department will report first." ”

Li Chunfang: "Yes." He replied and picked up the ticket in front of him.

In the fine house next door, Jiajing sat on the futon again, and the copper chime was placed beside him again. With his eyes closed, his ears pricked up when he heard this.

Li Chunfang's voice came from outside: "The Ministry of War recalculated it again yesterday day and night, and the original amount of silver is not used so much at the moment, and it can be reduced by 500,000 taels for the Ministry of Industry to repair the Wanshou Palace and the Yongshou Palace." ”

Jiajing opened his eyes, and his left hand slowly reached into the copper chime and picked up the chime and pestle, but stopped there.

In the main hall, Chen Hong immediately glanced at the new Bingbi eunuch at the end, and the eunuch hurriedly walked to the opposite side and picked up the ticket handed by Li Chunfang and intended to send it to Chen Hong.

Chen Hong picked up the red pen and listened to the chime and pestle falling with his eyes.

Everyone was waiting for the sound of the copper chime.

The sound of the copper chime on the side of the Jingshe finally sounded, and Chen Hongyun's pen was like flying, and he soon approved the red on the ticket in the Ministry of War.

Xu Jie: "Officials! The ticket of the tall man newspaper department is proposed. ”

Gao Gong: "The officials of the two capitals are willing to temporarily not receive the arrears, and many officials with good family backgrounds can also temporarily not receive the arrears, so the officials can also reduce 400,000 taels to relieve the worries of the monarch and allocate the Ministry of Industry to repair the palace." ”

The last eunuch immediately came over, picked up the ticket and gave it to Chen Hong.

This time, the copper chime on the side of the Jingshe sounded quickly, and it was particularly crisp, and it showed the relief in Jiajing's heart at this time, which could not be seen but heard!

Chen Hong quickly approved the red.

"It's time for the Ministry of Households." Xu Jie looked at Zhao Zhenji, "Zhao Zhenji, the money of the household department involves the people, have you thought of a way?" ”

Zhao Zhenji immediately replied: "I have already thought about it." This year's disaster-stricken provinces and overtaxed provincial capitals must be appeased, and every penny that should be allocated must be fully allocated. ”

Chen Hong immediately looked at him.

All eyes were on him.

A glimmer of light appeared in Jiajing's eyes on the futon, and the chime pestle was slowly placed on his lap.

Zhao Zhenjilanglang's voice came clearly: "The way of heaven has always been to make up for what is lacking. I have two capitals and thirteen provinces in the Ming Dynasty, and there are also rich provinces. The household department has already written to Nanzhili, Zhejiang, and Huguang, asking them to take out some surplus money from their respective treasury, or allocate some surplus grain from their respective official warehouses, to help the provinces that have been affected by disasters and have been overtaxed. In this way, the Ministry of Household can also allocate 600,000 taels of money to the Ministry of Industry. ”

Jiajing's eyes slowly opened, and it was peaceful, but he didn't go to get the chime and pestle immediately, but waited more intently to listen to Zhao Zhenji's clear and pleasant voice.

Next came Xu Jie's voice: "It's very appropriate for the household department to arrange it like this. It's just that Nanzhili, Zhejiang, and Huguang have any objections? ”

Next was Zhao Zhenji's nice voice: "Back to the elder, my subordinates have already discussed it with these provinces a month ago. Yesterday, their palindromes came, and they were all willing to allocate funds for food and relief, and they all said that it was incumbent upon them to relieve the worries of the monarch and the difficulties of the victims in the Soviet Union. ”

Jiajing immediately picked up the chime and knocked it three times in a row on the copper chime!

Chen Hong couldn't hide his excitement when he criticized this red, and immediately warned himself in his heart to be stable, so he slowed down his penmanship and neatly changed to regular script to slowly approve the red on this ticket.

This red approval was approved, and finally it was time to report to the Ministry of Industry, Chen Hong no longer asked Xu Jie to ask, and looked directly at Xu Fan: "Xu Shilang, this way it is proposed, and the money originally scheduled for the palace to repair the palace and the immortal temple will have four million taels." Is four million taels enough? ”

Xu Fan replied loudly: "Back to Gonggong Chen, the monarch who is dedicated to the world, the Ministry of Industry will definitely use the four million taels for the project, and ensure that all the projects will be completed by the end of this year, and the emperor will have a fixed residence!" ”

No longer have to wait for Jiajing inside to knock on the chime, Chen Hong said loudly: "Then the ticket of the Ministry of Industry will be used immediately to approve the red!" ”

Xu Fan didn't wait for the eunuch on the other side to come and get it, and personally sent the ticket from the Ministry of Works.

Chen Hong was simple this time, full of cinnabar, and only wrote a big "quasi" word on the ticket!

The dust settled, and all eyes were on Xu Jie, waiting for him to end the meeting.

Xu Jie: "I have passed on the Ming Dynasty from Emperor Taizu Gao to the current saint for the eleventh generation, blessed the world, the saint is towering, and he is chasing Yao Shun!" Zhao Zhenji, you are in charge of the household department, and yesterday a new director of the household department discussed the holy will in vain, have you asked? ”

Zhao Zhenji raised his voice, obviously to let Jiajing inside hear more clearly: "Go back to the elder pavilion, please turn the elder to play the saint." Today, the household department ordered, and that Hai Rui came to report. The minister rebuked him, and he was a man born in a barbarian land, and he was upright, but he had no other thoughts. After listening to the minister's punishment, he also understood his mistake. The minister was going to punish him for six months, and he was willing to be punished for the six sentences he had written in vain. I wonder if such a punishment is appropriate? ”

All the people were silent, and all ears were listening to the sound of the ashram.

"Shoot when it's time to shoot, and spare people when you have to!" Before anyone saw it, Jiajing's voice had already come from the door of the house.

All ten people in the two cases walked to the front of the case and knelt down.

Jiajing had the spirit of fluttering sleeves again, and walked to the royal chair in the middle and sat down with the wind.

All the people kowtowed: "Ministers, slaves, etc., knock to see the Holy Lord!" ”

Jiajing crossed his legs on the chair and looked straight at Zhao Zhenji: "As a father, you must know how to love your son, and if you are a boss, you must know to forgive your subordinates." One sentence will be fined for a month, that Hai Rui heard that he is still a clean official, and you let his family drink the northwest wind in the past six months? ”

Zhao Zhenji kowtowed again: "The saint is like the benevolence of the sky, and the minister is ashamed if he fails to be the benevolent heart of the saint." The minister was willing to share some money from the minister's own money to pay Hai Rui six months' fine. ”

Jiajing smiled rarely: "There was a person in the Song Dynasty who once had an absolute, called 'Sanguang Sun, Moon and Star', and no one was right up. Su Dongpo is a talented man, only he is right, Xu Ge Lao, you should remember how he is right. ”

Xu Jie: "Yes." Back to the saint, Su Shi connected two pairs, the first pair is 'Four Poems and Elegant Songs', and the second pair is more sophisticated, it is 'Four Virtues Henry Yuan', in order to avoid the respect of Renzong, omitted the word 'Zhen' of Henry Zhenyuan. ”

Jiajing: "In the end, he is a scholar, and he is the Tao when he says it." You are now the head of the cabinet, and there are only three people in the cabinet at the moment: you, Li Chunfang and Gao Gong, which is too hard. Make up the word that Su Shi omitted. ”

All of them were stunned. Especially Zhao Zhenji, kneeling there, beads of sweat were already oozing from his forehead.

Xu Jie: "Initiating the Shengshang, the minister is dull, may I ask the Shengshang, did you add the word 'chastity' to the cabinet?" Is this word 'chastity' among the few people right now? ”

Jiajing: "Zhenzhi, Ji Ye." Xu Ge is also smart! ”

"Commandment. Zhao Zhenji, the secretary of the household department, entered the cabinet on the same day! Xu Jie shouted loudly.

Zhao Zhenji hurriedly kowtowed three times: "Thank you, Shengshang Longen, you can't give up!" ”

Because it was July, and because it was noon, the scorching sun was on the head, and at this time there was only this carriage galloping in the direction of leaving Beijing. From the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty to this time, this post road has been 300 years old, with thick green trees on both sides and cicadas singing.

There is a small stream flowing from the side of the road ahead, which is crystal clear.

"Stop, drink and go." Inside the car was Lu Fang's voice.

The coachman reined in his horse, and the sedan stopped.

The coachman jumped out of the car first, set up a stepping stool, lifted the curtain and helped Lu Fang down.

Lu Fang had already changed into the blue robe of ordinary people, and only his hair was tied on his head, his face was still clean, and he looked at it after getting out of the car, but when he saw that his eyes were full of thick green and flowing water, he breathed a long sigh of relief, turned to the car and said, "Jin'er, come down and drink saliva too." ”

There was no answer in it. The coachman also watched, apparently unwilling or afraid to lift the curtain to pick up the man.

Lu Fang turned to the coachman and instructed, "You go drink water and wash your face first." ”

The coachman: "Yes." So he went alone in the direction of the brook.

Lu Fang went to the side of the car and patted the car door: "Come down." ”

The curtain was slowly lifted a crack, revealing a gray messy hair, revealing Yang Jinshui's stupid face.

Lu Fang said very kindly: "Come, come down." ”

Yang Jinshui only then got out of the car half-crawling, looking around.

Lu Fang stretched out a hand to him, and Yang Jinshui took his hand and stepped on the stool to the ground.

Lu Fang: "Do you know where this is?" ”

Yang Jinshui shook his head, and trotted up alone, and not far away, he ran around the car and the horse.

Lu Fang sat down on a stone under a tree on the side of the road: "Sensei ran away, come here." ”

Yang Jinshui just didn't hear it, and trotted around the carriage.

"Come here!" Lu Fang shouted in a low voice.

Yang Jinshui stopped brushing the ground, showing a very frightened look, and slowly moved towards Lu Fang.

Lu Fang stretched out his hand to him again, Yang Jinshui passed his hand stiffly, Lu Fang took his hand, and Yang Jinshui squatted down in front of him.

In the distance, the coachman was taking off his sweat and wiping his body with the water of the stream.

Lu Fang said softly: "Jin'er, from this moment on, you don't have to pretend, our grandfather and son are safe." ”

Yang Jinshui looked at Lu Fang in a daze at first.

Lu Fang: "It's been really hard for you for more than three years...... It's good now! Let's go and guard the mausoleum for our grandfather. Grandpa Tai will not speak, nor will he be angry. No one counts us anymore. Go to the brook and wash our hair, face, and half of our bodies. From now on, our grandfather and son will be clean and clean. ”

There were tears in Yang Jinshui's stupid eyes, and then his eyes slowly moved, and he suddenly opened his mouth, and cried bitterly, his body kept twitching!

Lu Fang also slowly shed tears: "Cry, cry, cry out all the grievances in your heart." In the future, we don't have to cry, let them cry. ”

It's strange to say that at this time, the sound of cicadas on so many big trees on the whole road stopped, and only Yang Jinshui cried less and less.

"That's it!" Lu Fang stood up, "Wash it!" ”

Yang Jinshui then stood up, grabbed Lu Fang's arm, and helped him walk towards the stream.

Lu Fang, who has been self-alerting for 40 years with "thinking of danger, thinking of retreat, and thinking of change", retreated, and the "internal minister" changed people, and the iron-fisted Chen Hong was replaced, and the inner court was stable. As for the foreign court, he copied more than 10 million taels of silver from the Yan Party, as Jiajing said, the money for the army, the money for the officials, and the money for the people, in fact, the big head is still divided in the palace, these months seem to be nothing, but in a blink of an eye it is the end of the year - the "New Year" has arrived!

It's snowing heavily, and the sky is blowing one after another, and the household department Guangyingku looks particularly tall in the shadows. Many people, waiting for the Chinese New Year, the Beijing officials lined up densely in the heavy snow, a pair of eager eyes, all looking at the door that Guangyingku had not yet opened at this time, and they all imagined that it was full of money and rice.

The so-called New Year's Pass mostly refers to the poor people. At the end of the year, running to hunger and cold, the old and young of the family looked through the eyes and waited for the family to eat meat and add a piece of clothing to the New Year. As for the end of the year for the extremely poor, it is not a longing, but a panic. After a year, I have been full of debts, and what I am afraid of is that the creditors are chasing debts at this time, urging like thunder. In this way, the family members of the family hid out as early as the twenty-third day of the lunar month, leaving the old and young women and children in the dilapidated house with air on all sides to listen to the creditor's scolding, and they had to curse until the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and then left when the time was over. At that time, a couplet was circulated: "The year is sad, this year is the saddest, and you have to get by; The account must be repaid, the account must be repaid, and if there is one, it will be repaid. This is the kind of bitterness of the Tao.

This year, this couplet will be hung from the homes of poor people to the doorsteps of many six- and seven-grade Qingliu Beijing officials in the Ming Dynasty.

In May, the household department copied the homes of several corrupt people of the Yan Party, hoping to make up the arrears for the first half of the year, but in order to rush to complete the construction of the emperor's Wanshou Palace, Yongshou Palace, Chaotianguan and Xuanduguan, the arrears were only repaid by less than half. After July, 13 provinces suffered disasters in many places, and there was no harvest in the autumn, and the silver and grain could not be handed over to the household department according to the amount, and the arrears were even worse, and by the end of the year, the arrears of many officials in Beijing had reached more than half of the annual salaries. This year can't pass, so I all point to the opening of the gates of Guangyingku today. Therefore, no matter how heavy the snow was, everyone came here early in the morning and lined up for a long time.

Guangying warehouse is the only storage of money and grain in the household. There are three warehouse doors, each of which is two zhang high and three zhang wide, and it is necessary to take the property of two capitals and thirteen provinces. Each warehouse door is two, all of which are equipped with groove wheels up and down, which are pushed to both sides when the warehouse is opened, and pushed to the middle when the warehouse is closed, so as to open and close when the money, grain and various goods enter and exit the warehouse; There is a small door open on the left side of each warehouse door for the household personnel to enter and exit when checking the warehouse.

But at this time, the wide surplus library is wide, and the profit is not profitable. The huge warehouse, at a glance, the walls are empty, only the ground is thinly stacked with a layer of cloth bags. Each pile is a large, medium and small bag: two buckets of rice in a large bag, two liters of pepper in a medium bag, and ten hangs of money in a small bag. Zhao Zhenji, the official of the headquarters, said that there is no unevenness in widowhood, whether it is the officials of the six departments and the nine Qing halls or the seven officials of each department, those who come today will receive three bags per person.

The lanterns were lit, and the officials of the household department were assigned to sit in front of the big case at the gate of the three warehouses, and the rosters of the officials of each ministry were placed on the big cases at the gate of the three warehouses, and the warehouse workers were scattered in front of the piles of bags and waited.

There are only three days left before the Chinese New Year, and Langzhong, who is in charge of the finances of the two capitals and thirteen provinces under the Great Tomorrow, has been sent here today to distribute the New Year's rice to the Beijing officials. The reason why big money is so small is because today's small wealth should be used for big purposes. The treasury was so empty that the arrears had been delayed for half a year, but at this time, each official could only give out two buckets of rice, two liters of pepper, and ten copper coins for the New Year. Once the door is opened, the disappointment and anger of the crowd can be imagined. At this time, the officials of the Thirteen Qing Officials Division have a heavy responsibility on their shoulders, that is, how to persuade everyone to understand the difficulties of the imperial court, be poor and keep the way, and live a peaceful year when they are worried about the world and do not change their happiness.

An official who looked like Lang Zhong shouted: "Everyone! ”

The principals sitting in front of the three barns all looked at him, and Hai Rui sat in front of the leftmost barn door.

The man shouted and then sighed: "Alas! The bottom of the warehouse has been cleared, two buckets of rice, two liters of pepper, and ten copper coins per person, to be honest, none of them can pass this year, but that's all there is to it. I don't know what kind of scolding they will have when they send it to them......"

The principals in front of the three gates all looked at him, and Hai Rui also looked at him.

"But the ugly daughter-in-law always has to see her in-laws." Na Lang made up his last mind and shouted, "Open a position and send something!" ”

The small door to the left of the three barn doors opened, and immediately the warehouse workers carried heavy desks from the inside to the side of the small door, in case someone rushed in.

Immediately, I saw that the three small doors were crowded with people.

The warehouse gate on the left side of Hai Rui is dedicated to issuing money and rice to the officials of the four yamen, namely the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Hanlin Yuan, the Guozijian, and the General Political Envoy Division. These four yamen are all clear streams, and they are the ones who impeach officials and correct the evils of the times, and compared with the six departments, they are the most poor and the most difficult to provoke. Today, Hai Rui sent them to distribute money and rice, which was Zhao Zhenji's arrangement, so that the Qing officials could deal with the Qing officials, and also let Hai Rui know that he was not the Qing officials in the Ming Dynasty. Of course, this meaning can only be understood, not spoken.

Hai Rui looked at the official who was first in line in front of his door and asked, "May I ask which yamen serves and has a great name?" ”

The official replied: "Li Qingyuan, the secretary of the Guozijian Division! Please look for it. ”

Hai Rui: "Disrespectful, please wait." As he spoke, he said to the scribe beside him, "Please find out the roster of Li Qingyuan, the secretary of the Guozijian Division, and Master Li." ”

"Yes." The scribe replied and found the one with "Guozijian" written on the cover of the roster on the big case in front of him, and when he turned to the third page, he saw the word "Li Qingyuan", so he handed the roster to Hai Rui. Hai Rui looked at it, turned the roster upside down, put it in front of the man, and handed the man a brush: "Please sign it." ”

The man quickly took the pen and wrote the words "Li Qingyuan" in the space below the box on which his name was written.

Hai Rui said loudly: "Please give Master Li Siye Li Lu rice!" ”

A warehouse worker behind him immediately picked up a pile of three bags and put them on the big desk in front of the door.

Li Qingyuan opened his eyes wide and looked at the three bags of one large, one middle school and one small and asked Hai Rui: "Excuse me, what are they?" How many are there? ”

Hai Rui replied: "Two buckets of rice, two liters of pepper, and ten copper coins." ”

"It's all here?" Li Qingyuan's eyes immediately widened.

Hai Rui replied in a low voice, "It's all here." ”

Li Qingyuan immediately shouted: "My arrears are more than twenty taels, which is less than five taels of silver." I have a family of six, and there are two servants, and it is not enough to pay off the debts after the New Year! ”

"Isn't it all we have at the first level of the sixth grade?" The official next to Li Qingyuan shouted after him.

Hai Rui looked at them: "No. This year, the officials of the second grade will not send anything. ”

"Don't tell us about the ministers!" Li Qingyuan roared, "Do the officials still need these things for the New Year?" They not only have the annual respect of the provinces, but also the emperor's reward, and they came up with this reason to deal with us petty officials! Do you people in the household department also rely on this little thing for the New Year? ”

Hai Jui was silent.

"What's going on?"

"How much is there?"

Countless people behind Li Qingyuan asked anxiously.

Li Qingyuan turned his head and shouted excitedly to the people behind him: "Everyone will have two buckets of rice, two liters of pepper, and ten copper coins this year!" ”

The pot exploded immediately behind him, countless heads hugged him, and countless pairs of angry eyes all looked at Hai Rui from outside the door:

"Your household is also dark!"

"Is that all you have?"

"Where did you get all the money of the Ming Dynasty!"

Hai Rui still sat there, looking at the countless pairs of angry eyes and the scolding mouths, silent or angry.

"Talk back!"

"Talk back!"

"Drag him out if he doesn't reply!"

Hai Rui still sat quietly, looking deeply at those people.

Suddenly, an official stood on tiptoe behind a few heads and smashed a snowball at Hai Jui!

That ball of snow smashed on Hai Rui's black yarn!

Hai Jui remained motionless.

Not only this barn door, but also the two barn doors in the middle and on the right have also been full of emotion, and the anger is like a tide!

At this moment, the six ministries, as well as the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the General Political Envoy, the Dali Temple, the Hanlin Academy, the Guozijian, the Zhan Shifu Ministry, and the main hall officials of the Zhan Mansion were all gathered in the Xiyuan Cabinet at this time. Although the four cabinet members are also the four ministers, there are more than a dozen officials from other ministries. The duty room is not too big, and at this time they are all crowded, writing green words in front of the bookcase side by side.

The emperor's Wanshou Palace, Yongshou Palace, Chaotian Temple, and Xuandu Temple will be completed the day after tomorrow, that is, on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month. The first major event in the world, the cabinet ministers and officials of various ministries and halls in charge of hundreds of officials were called here to write a green message of worship to the emperor on behalf of the subjects of the great heaven. It's all the same thing, the articles must be written differently, how to meet the holy will of heaven and the heart, this four or six articles is really more difficult than the three articles during their scientific expedition!

The door of the duty room was covered by a thick cotton curtain, and two large braziers were blazing in the middle of the room, led by Xu Jie, and the bookcases of more than a dozen ministers such as Li Chunfang, Gao Gong, and Zhao Zhenji were roasted around the fire, holding cinnabar pens and weighing words on green paper made of green leaves. It was snowing hard outside, and everyone inside was sweating on their faces. As for the officials on the household department's side making trouble, there are two capitals and thirteen provinces when the sky is falling at this time, and they have no intention of caring about it.

The two cabinet clerks who were guarding outside the cotton curtain were dressed like cotton monkeys, and were stamping their feet there with their hands in their hands to avoid the cold, but they saw a person in the snow staggering towards him.

The man approached, and it turned out to be the same man who presided over the distribution of money and rice in Guangyingku. At this time, only the left wing of the hat on his head was left, the robe on his body was also torn, and there were several bloody marks on his face!

The two cabinet clerks were still stamping their feet: "What's the matter?" What's wrong? ”

Na Langzhong gasped: "Something is wrong!" Hundreds of people are making a big fuss in the house...... What about Lord Zhao? I, I'm going to report to Lord Zhao immediately......"

The two clerks paused slightly, then stomped up again: "I'm writing green words." No matter how big it is, you can't bother it at this hour. ”

Na Langzhong was anxious: "If Lord Zhao doesn't go again, those people are going to make trouble in Xiyuan!" ”

The two clerks were a little concerned at this time, and glanced at each other, and one of them lifted the corner of the cotton curtain: "I want to report to you to go by yourself." ”

Na Langzhong didn't care much anymore, and got through the crack in the cotton curtain.

They all saw the embarrassed Lang Zhong kneeling in front of the curtain, and they all pretended not to see him, and everyone was still writing green words. Only Xu Jie, Gao Gong and Zhao Zhenji glanced at each other.

Zhao Zhenji glanced at Lang Zhong, who was looking at him, ignored him, sped up, finished writing the last word of his green words, stood up and walked to Xu Jie's side, handed it over with both hands, and said in a low voice: "Teacher, it must be that there is a debt over there in the household department, and the student will go and see it first." Student's ......"

Xu Jie took his green words: "I'll help you think about the green words, you go immediately." Don't make an accident at this time. ”

"Students understand." Zhao Zhenji waved at him, and when he turned to walk out, he glanced at Lang Zhong, who was kneeling there, and Lang Zhong got up and walked out of the cabinet room after him.

Xu Jie watched them go out and felt that the situation was serious, so he stood up and looked at Gao Gong, who was also looking at him at this time. Xu Jie gave him a look, and walked slowly towards the door first. Gao Gong put down his pen, got up, and walked towards the door.

Those people all looked up, and they looked at it for a while, and immediately buried their heads in writing their own green words.

"Su Qing, are you done writing?" Xu Jie looked at the heavy snow and asked.

Gao Gong: "Soon, a few more words." ”

"You go too." Xu Jie turned to look at him, "Zhao Mengjing's prestige is not enough, you can only calm down the grievances if you go." ”

Gao Gong looked at the heavy snow that was blowing one after another: "I don't know how to calm the resentment. ”

Xu Jie: "Explain the reason clearly to everyone, and we will find a way to make up the arrears for everyone after the New Year." ”

Gao Gong: "There is only a pot to cook white rice, and there is no reason to set up a pot to cook." I can say that this time the wish can be fulfilled, and the elder will give a real time limit. ”

Xu Jie: "In February next year." In February next year, I will find a way to send everyone this year's arrears. ”

Gao Gong: "I'll go after writing those few sentences." ”

Xu Jie: "Then it's so hard for you." ”

Gao Gong: "It's a matter of duty." It's cold outside, let's go in. ”

Xu Jie glanced at him deeply, the two turned around, and the two clerks outside the door hurriedly opened the curtain, and the two walked in again.

Before Zhao Zhenji arrived, Guangyingku was already in a mess......

The three large warehouse doors were pushed open, and the bags containing grain, pepper, and copper coins were thrown all over the ground, and the officials who had been queuing up in the heavy snow outside all swarmed in, and dozens of people surrounded the officials of the Household Department and the officials who distributed money and rice, and loudly reprimanded and dragged them around!

In the warehouse door on the left, Hai Rui was surrounded by many people, some knew that this was Hai Rui and just stood quietly on the periphery, many people did not know Hai Rui, all crowded in front, showing the face of the same enemy, spitting deafening scolding, as for who said what, what was scolding, it was not clear at all.

Hai Rui stood still, not looking at anyone, not replying a word.

At this time, there was a person standing tightly in front of Hai Rui, trying his best to block the pushing crowd with his body, and that person was Wang Yongji.

The roar of the crowd inside the two barn doors over there suddenly erupted, as if a fight had already started! It turned out that the officials of the middle warehouse gate and the right warehouse door clearance division couldn't help but scold each other, which aroused the anger of the public, and someone did it. Outnumbered, several household officials broke free and ran outside the barn gate, and many officials roared and chased after them.

Like water droplets splashing into a pot of boiling oil, someone here also roared: "If this guy doesn't reply, we'll fight too!" ”

"Hit him!"

"Look if he can't reply!"

So the two people who approached Hai Jui began to move, one grabbed him by the collar, and the other waved his hand and hit him on the head.

"Stop!" Wang roared louder than they did, grabbing the arm that had struck Hai Rui's head.

This roar worked, and the scolding person jumped and was stunned instantly.

Wang Yongji said loudly: "Don't talk about the king's law! Don't you distinguish between right and wrong? Do you know who this person is beating and scolding now? ”

The official who was grabbed by him: "Wang Yushi, your family is good, you can live the New Year, we have no way to live." Whoever he is! ”

Immediately, several people followed:

"The household is so dark, everyone is the same!"

"If you don't let us live, no one wants to live!"

"Hit! Fight until Zhao Zhenji comes out! ”

Then some raised their fists.

"Who dare!" Wang Yongji had never been so angry, roared, pushed away a few people in front of him, and said loudly, "You can't celebrate the New Year, and you can still come to ask for debts." He can't celebrate the New Year, and he doesn't have to ask for anything, do you know! You can still get three bags of money and rice for the New Year, but he didn't even get three bags of money and rice, do you know! Six months of Yulu was punished by Zhao Zhenji, and you still have to beat him, don't talk about conscience! ”

This sentence was so effective that those who didn't know Hai Jui immediately fell silent and looked at each other.

Immediately, someone who knew Hai Rui answered: "This is the sea master who was fined for the inscription in Liubiju, and he shouldn't be troubled if he makes trouble." ”

Someone else answered: "Yes! You have to find the right person. ”

The most embarrassing thing is that Li Qingyuan, the director of the Guozijian Division, is also a clean official, and his heart is still upright, so he actually bowed his hand to Hai Rui at this time: "I don't know if it's the head of Haibijiahai, I'm offended." In fact, it's not just because we can't celebrate the New Year at home. At this point, he climbed to the bookcase by the door of the left warehouse and shouted, "Everyone! I have a few words to say! ”

There was still a commotion in the two barn doors over there, but when they heard him shouting, they all stopped, and countless eyes looked at him.

Li Qingyuan stood on the bookcase: "The Yan family and his son have controlled the government for 20 years, and their hands are greedy for ink!" May raided the homes of some of them, which is equivalent to tens of millions of silver! The anti-Tatar people in the north and the anti-Japanese in the south still have no military salaries, and so many displaced people still have no money to appease them, and now even the arrears of our officials still cannot be repaid! What are Xu Jie, Li Chunfang, Gao Gong, and Zhao Zhenji doing in the cabinet? What are the officials of the six departments and nine qing doing? Here, for the sake of whether we can make trouble for the New Year, this official should not be! If you want to fight, you have to fight for the state affairs of the Ming Dynasty and the people of the world! We don't fight for the debt, and we can't die if we can't celebrate the New Year! Go to the cabinet, ask them, and don't care about the Ming Society, and don't care about the people in the world! ”

Hai Rui immediately cast an admiring gaze at this person!

Then many people shouted:

"Master Li is right! The country will not be a country, how can the country be a family? Find the cabinet and reason with them! ”

"It's useless to just look for them, everyone goes to write the recital first, and after the writing is done, go to the sparse together, and join them!"

"Shang Shu! Sparse! Join them! ”

It was really a response, and immediately most of the officials rushed towards the three barn gates.

The remaining officials were relatively gentle and fearful, and after hesitating for a moment, they slowly walked towards the warehouse gate. Even the household officials who had been besieged and scolded just now for distributing grain and rice also walked out of the warehouse gate.

The warehouse workers in Guangying Warehouse were at a loss for officials, and they didn't dare to leave, so they began to pack up the bags scattered all over the ground.

Hai Rui was still standing there, and Wang Yongji did not leave, and his worried eyes looked at each other.

"I'm the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, everyone is sparse, and I have to go too. Can't you get on the slack? Wang Yongji asked Hai Rui.

"If I don't go, you don't want to go." Hai Rui immediately replied, "It's useless. ”

Wang Yongji didn't believe that Hai Rui said this: "This is not like what you Hai Gangfeng should say. ”

Hai Rui: "That's what I, Hai Rui, should say. In the Ming Dynasty, there was hardly a foot of pure land within thousands of miles of two capitals and thirteen provinces, and the root was not in the cabinet. It is useless to treat the symptoms unless the root cause is cured. As Mr. Li said, the medical country is like a doctor, either you don't want to treat, or if you want a doctor, you need a doctor! Where is the root of the disease of the Ming Dynasty, you know, I know, everyone knows. No one dared to touch it. If I do something like them, I won't do it, and if I do it, I'll start from the root of the disease. ”

"Be careful!" Wang Yongji was startled, looked around, and whispered to Hai Rui, "Brother Gangfeng, Mrs. Tai is still here, and Mrs. Sister-in-law is pregnant again, you can't even think about criticizing dragon scales now!" ”

Hai Rui sighed gloomily: "This is also where my scruples lie, let's talk about it after this year first." ”

Wang Yongji breathed a sigh of relief: "This is the right thing." I'm not in a hurry now, I'll accompany you to the street to buy some New Year's goods, so that Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Sister-in-law can celebrate the New Year. ”

Hai Jui: "I got it." You have your home, I have my home, don't think about helping me anymore, I have a way to celebrate the New Year. ”

Wang Yongji: "What way, the way to drink porridge?" Mrs. Sister-in-law is still pregnant, so I have to make up for the child in the womb, you and I are not others, let's go. ”

Hai Rui looked at Wang Yongji deeply: "Runlian, one day my family will drag you down, now you don't care." ”

Wang Yongji understood, and was gloomy for a while.

"Those who can't plan for the world can't plan for a while, and those who can't plan for the overall situation can't plan for a corner." Hai Rui said to him very solemnly, "Listen to me, don't be estranged from them this time, and I will discuss with you slowly after the New Year." After speaking, he arched his hand and walked towards the warehouse door.

Wang Yongji was silent there for a long time, and when Hai Rui was gone, he walked towards the warehouse door with heavy steps.
