Chapter 63: A two-pronged approach

Ming Lanying told Ye Jielu what she wanted to do, Ye Jielu nodded seriously after hearing this, and praised softly, "Lady Hui has a blue heart, and she is different." ”

gave Ming Lanying goosebumps, she really didn't like Ye Jielu to praise her seriously.

raised his foot and kicked him to drive him away, Ye Jielu was not annoyed, reached out and grabbed her bare feet, and rubbed it, "Leave this matter to the husband, just wait to see the news." ”

Ming Lanying broke free like an electric shock, and her face turned crimson unnaturally, "Hurry up!" ”

Ye Jielu saw her bright red cheeks, and when she got up, he took advantage of her inattention, stole a fragrance on her cheek, and slipped away through the window satisfied.

Article 6 of the Wife Chasing Code can be appropriately sneaky and slippery, not too much.

Ming Lanying covered her face and was stunned for a moment, and only then did she come back to her senses, and scolded with a red face, "Dengzi!" ”

The rumors fermented overnight, and the next day Ming Lanying had become a lowly assassin prostitute who everyone was punished, and even the people in the beggar alley in the south of the city were disgusted, but no one explained the family affairs anymore.

When the rumors about Ming Lanying reached the peak, the court officials made a move, and they began to impeach Ye Juelu for not knowing people clearly, the emperor listened carefully to the words of the officials, and summoned Ye Juelu into the palace on the same day and questioned him in front of the ministers.

Ye Jielu's face did not change and said that someone had framed him, and asked the emperor to investigate, otherwise he would resign as commander and accept punishment. The emperor ordered on the spot that the Metropolitan Procuratorate should investigate the matter within a month.

The ministers shouted that the emperor was wise, and the old man Ming narrowed his eyes and his expression was obscure.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate, which supervises, impeachs, and recommends prosecution, is specially set up for officials in the court, and has high enforcement powers, but it is also unruly and upright. Once the Metropolitan Procuratorate intervenes in this matter, everyone else will only have to watch.

But no one knew that Ye Jielu had someone in the Inspectorate.

With Ye Juelu's hint, the Inspectorate investigated Ming Lanying with great fanfare, and the whole capital knew that she was being investigated, and everyone stretched their necks to watch, but Ming Lanying still lived in a simple place, and no one knew what she looked like.

In order to avoid suspicion, Ye Jielu was driven to stay in the Praetorian Guard camp for two days, and the distance between him and Ming Lanying was even farther away, causing him to be in a bad mood every day, and when he practiced the Praetorian Guard, he was even more ruthless.

The procuratorate investigated for seven days, and Ming Lanying herself didn't find anything, which surprised the people who ate melons, Ye Jielu moved back to the house overnight, but after following the rumors to check, he found out that something was wrong.

All the rumors came out of the beggars and hooligans alley in the south of the city, and if they continued to investigate, they were all said to be instructed by someone, and the inspectorate arrested a few hooligans for interrogation, and tortured and questioned the person who surprised everyone who ate melons, the descendants of the Ming family.

The Inspectorate told the emperor directly without waiting for a while, and the emperor asked the old man Ming about this in front of the ministers in front of the early dynasty, and the old man Ming shouted that he was wronged, and asked the Inspectorate to continue to investigate to prove his innocence, and the emperor agreed.

After Mr. Ming went back, he called the third room of the Ming family to question, Ming Jiazhen didn't expect the inspectorate to get involved, and repeatedly assured him that things were done perfectly, and the people in the inspectorate deliberately framed him.

Master Ming trusted this excellent granddaughter, and he also expected that this was just a trivial matter, at most a few subordinates, so he didn't condemn it anymore, thinking about how to get the Ming family out of this matter.

But I didn't expect that I couldn't pick it off now, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate investigated more and more, but in a few days, it found the head of Jiang Heyu, the wife of the Ming family's big house.

Jiang Heyu did let people spread rumors before, and he made nonsense about Lanying's innocence, but he didn't deal with it, and now he has been found by the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Although the real culprit was not found, it was not a loss to find a big house in the Ming family.

After checking it, I found that there were more, Jiang Heyu was a continuation, and he had a few lives in the boudoir in his hand, both big and small, and the official position of the Ming master was bought, and he also used his position and the convenience of the Ming family to be greedy for no less than 200,000 taels of snowflake silver in office.

Just buying officials is enough for the emperor to be angry, and the emperor is the most taboo about buying officials, corruption and fraud, and the three of them are accounted for.

The imperial examination was not sure that the invigilator knew the question in advance, but he still didn't win and directly bought a small official, and he was not promoted for so many years and was not discovered, but there were a lot of greed.

The emperor was angry and scolded eighty boards, and the old man Ming only fined fifty boards for intercession, but he still deposed his officials, demoted him to a wasted person, and was not allowed to enter the court as an official for life, and even deprived of the right to do business. He also fined the Ming family for a year, and thought about it behind closed doors for three months, which was a big blow to the Ming family.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate found out that the eldest master was also a hint of Ye Juelu. The elder of the Ming Dynasty and the elders of the three dynasties, the Ming family, the nearly century-old tree in the capital, has deep roots and thick leaves, and it can't be shaken now, but it's okay to saw a few branches of it and let it hurt.

Mr. Ming attaches great importance to the third master of Ming, and he ignores the eldest son, the eldest son is dispensable, and he can be used as the one who opens the knife, and when the old man Ming wants to pull it, it is already too late.

Jiang Heyu cried and begged his father-in-law, but the old man Ming didn't see it, the eldest son and daughter-in-law have always been mediocre and incompetent, he won't waste his mind on useless chess pieces, and there are still many useful people in the Ming family.

After investigating for half a month, he deposed the official position of the Ming lord, punished the Ming lord for thinking about it behind closed doors, and the work of the Metropolitan Procuratorate ended here, and the twists and turns handed over to the emperor also ended with the affairs of the Ming family.

The rumors in the market have also become the affairs of the Ming family, the melons of the Ming family are bigger and more ripe, and the rumors of the Ming Lanying before can't stir up big waves.

The emperor also waved his hand, let Defu draw up a holy decree, returned Ming Lanying a clean slate, and rewarded some gold and silver to appease, and poured all the dirty water on the head of the Ming family's big house, which was satisfactory to everyone, and the old man Ming was also satisfied with the gritted teeth.

Although things were not as perfect as Ming Lanying expected, she actually wanted to reverse the rumors in the capital and return them all to Ming Jiazhen, but Ye Jielu's operation also made her see clearly how deep the Ming family's foundation was.

If she really did what she originally intended, she might hurt 1,000 enemies and 800 herself. Ming Lanying rubbed her hair irritably, she really wasn't the material for house fighting, she was annoyed.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate made the matter end in half a month, and it also snowed a few heavy snows in the capital to try to cover up the pickling and dirty things in the imperial city.

Ming Lanying saw the red lanterns and red silk hanging in the house and the festive window flowers pasted on it, and she suddenly remembered that it was another year, and she was a year older in this world.

As soon as the snow stopped, Hebai took Ning'er and the wolf cub to build a snowman in the yard, and the two of them wore Ming Lanying's newly made rabbit head hat, looking like they were having fun in a simple way.

Ming Lanying sat under the porch and looked at the reply letter written by Dong Xia, it was another year, but the two families did not celebrate the New Year together, which made her very regretful, so she had to look forward to the stars and the moon and wait for them to go back early.

The letter also said that Imperial Physician Zhao wanted to show her relatives this year, and she was troubled for a few days before she temporarily stopped thinking about it, and begged Ming Lanying to write a letter to help her persuade the elderly.

Ming Lanying shook her head funny, thinking that Dongxia was only eighteen or nineteen this year, she was indeed not in a hurry, and she was reluctant to live a good girl for the rest of her life.

At that moment, he wrote four pages freely, and when Ye Jielu came back, he pulled him to write two more pages and added them, and a thick letter asked Xiao San to hurry up and send it over while there was no wind and snow in the past few days.

At dinner, Ming Lanying mentioned this matter at the dinner table.

"Zhao Lao wants to find someone for Dong Xia this year, although I think it's still a little early, such a good girl in Dong Xia can't settle, but it's okay to take a look more."

Hebai was still gnawing on the big pig's trotters in her mouth, Ming Lanying was in a good mood tonight and cooked a table of dishes, she didn't have time to eat, and she barely raised her head when she heard about winter and summer.

"It's up to people in winter and summer? Would you like us to help? ”

Ming Lanying glanced at her, "What can you help, I'm asking you to have a snack yourself, don't look for people to fight all day long, so many good men in the barracks have become the defeated brothers of your subordinates, how can you find a partner!" ”

Hebai choked, silently gnawed on the sauce hooves and stopped talking, Ning'er glanced at Hebai, and comforted her with a chopstick braised pork.

"Aunt Hebai is not in a hurry, she can't marry Ning'er and raise you for a lifetime!"

Hebai rubbed Ning'er's head with emotion, "Good Ning'er, my aunt didn't hurt you in vain!" ”

Ming Lanying glared at her with hatred, "Out of breath!" Ning'er, there is no need to say that my aunt can't get married. ”

Ning Er obediently admitted her mistake, "Aunt Hebai is so powerful, there must be many people who like it!" ”

Ming Lanying squinted at Hebai, who was bent on dry rice in his mouth, Hebai gnawed on the ribs and thought for a moment, and shook his head, "No, absolutely not, we are all brothers!" ”

Ye Jielu has also heard of this, I have never seen a dead rabbit cub in the barracks, and he dared to have a little sign of liking Hebai, so he gave her a chopstick of green vegetables, "Forget it, the child is still young, and it is not too late to raise it for two years." ”

Ming Lanying chewed the vegetables depressedly, she just talked to Hebai, but it didn't really make her find a partner to marry immediately, she just wanted Hebai to have a correct concept of love, and she wouldn't be so easily blinded by rhetoric.

This body gave birth to Ning'er as soon as he reached the end of his life, and he was still a child who was growing his body, so he gave birth to a child, and he walked out of the ghost gate for a while, but his body was in a lot of deficit and loss. She has always paid attention to her body, and she even paid attention to the few girls around her, so that if she could let them get married later and have children, she would not let them marry a day earlier.

"Becoming a parent is a big deal, it is related to my own life and the rest of my life, I don't want Hebai and Dongxia to fold here to have children." Ming Lanying slowed down while eating, and murmured softly: "A woman is willing to give birth to a child for a man, that is to love him with her life, a woman gives birth to a child is to live in the ghost gate, and those who can be safe for the mother and child are all fateful, and the blessing should be behind, instead of being trapped in that boxy backyard all their lives, intriguing with other women, they all deserve better people." ”

Ming Lanying sighed, she didn't know what she was worried about, she raised her hand and rubbed Ning'er's little tender face, "Ning'er, when you grow up and meet the girl you like, you must respect the wishes of others first, if she is willing to marry you one day and have children for you, it will also be your blessing, she loves you with her life, you must also be good to her, and you can't let her be wronged because of you." ”

Although Ning'er didn't understand, she still remembered it word by word, "Mother, don't worry, Ning'er understands!" ”

Ye Jielu also remembered it in his heart, and his deep eyes were full of complex affection, staring at her quietly. When she said this, did she also imply that she loved him? But it wasn't her who gave birth to Ning'er for him now, it doesn't seem to be counted, or if he works harder and has another daughter together? But it was too dangerous to have a child, and he now knew that he was distressed and didn't want her to give birth......

"Sister-in-law, what are you talking to Ning'er about now? How old is Ning'er! He Bai was happy and ate two more bites of food, "With such a sensible mother-in-law as a sister-in-law, I must be very happy to be my sister-in-law's daughter-in-law!" ”

Ming Lanying glanced at the meat and bones in her bone plate, "If you continue to eat like this, you will gain six pounds after the New Year." ”

"No, it won't! I fight one set of punches every day, and it's a big deal to play one more set of swords tomorrow! Sister-in-law, I want to eat big wontons with egg cakes tomorrow! ”

"I'll talk about it tomorrow when I'm in a good mood." Ming Lanying lowered her head and drank the soup for a moment, "No, I have to ask the golden eagle to send a letter to Ming Langtao again, and let him show me the winter and summer, lest my good cabbage be arched by the pig!" ”

Hebai was stunned, "Sister-in-law, aren't you afraid that Ming Langtao will make a move on Dong Xia?" ”

"He dares!"

Ming Lanying glared at Ye Jielu, and Ye Jielu hurriedly explained, "Ming Langtao has a family, and he is not a person who cares about the love of his children, not to mention that Zhao Lao is here, he definitely does not dare to touch Dong Xia, in this regard, Zhao Lao raises Dong Xia very well, and Dong Xia looks down on him." ”

Ming Lanying was relieved, "Then I will write a letter tomorrow and ask the golden eagle to send it to Ming Langtao, so that he can help send someone to protect some winter and summer, so as not to be targeted by indiscriminate people." ”

Hebai nodded, "Yes, now that their lives are better, winter and summer are becoming more and more watery, Zhao Lao still has this meaning, there must be many people who come to the door to find out what it means, but that's a side plug!" There are all kinds of messy people! ”

Ming Lanying drank a bowl of soup and looked fiercely resolute, "Then let them not dare to have this meaning." ”

"Okay."

Ye Jielu silently took a wet hot handkerchief to wipe her hands, and the appearance of the lady protecting the calf made it difficult not to be moved.

Before going to bed, Ming Lanying was a little upset, and asked the king for a small cup of peach blossom brew, and sat alone on the low couch by the window to drink to the moon.

There is a wine cellar in the house, and from time to time brew some wine for the masters to taste, Ming Lanying just wanted to drink some, and the Wang steward picked a little stamina and sent it.

may be the reason for being upset, a small cup of peach blossom brew also made her a little confused, looking at the cold moon on the horizon, thinking of the busy and tired previous life, and thinking of the complexity of this life is unspeakable.

There are thousands of thoughts in his mind, but there is no clear central point, the whole person seems to suddenly want to let go, a small cup of peach blossom brew is quickly drunk, and Ming Lanying is in a daze with his face to the moon.

When Ye Jielu came back from washing, he saw that there was a candle in Ming Lanying's room, the window was not closed, and through the window, he saw her huddled on the couch with her knees huddled, her clear eyes were hazy and misty, at this moment, she was quiet and fragile and made him feel distressed.

He approached lightly, smelling the faint aroma of wine, and then seeing that she didn't notice his approach, he knew that she was confused, and pushed the door in helplessly and distressedly, and just wanted to pick her up, Ming Lanying suddenly turned her head and stared at him.

"Ye Juelu? Why are you here? ”

"It's cold at night, I'll carry you back to bed."

Ming Lanying obediently stretched out her hand to let him hug her, Ye Jielu skillfully took off her cloak and coat, covered her with a quilt, and just wanted to turn around to blow out the candle, her wrist was grabbed.

"Ye Jielu, I'm cold."

Ye Juelu lowered his eyes and looked at her, seeing that she was staring at him with clear eyes, he couldn't figure out whether he was confused or not, after all, it was just a small cup......

The Adam's apple rolled slightly, and Ye Jielu's voice was slightly hoarse, "I'll let them burn the earth dragon, okay?" ”

Ming Lanying didn't let go of her hand, and her black and white eyes looked at him without blinking, "The earth dragon is burning, but I'm still cold." ”

"Then I'm ......"

Ye Jielu hesitated for a while, and Ming Lanying pulled him with a little force, "You are warm." ”

Ye Jielu immediately took off his coat, shoes and socks, and climbed onto her bed with only his underwear, and there was a quilt on the bed, and he slept with her as a matter of course, hugging her carefully.

Ming Lanying found an angle with satisfaction and fell asleep groggy.

Smelling the fragrant fragrance on the tip of her nose and hugging the softness in her arms, Ye Jielu also sighed with satisfaction in her heart, no matter if she was confused or not, how could she make her mother cold!

People who practice martial arts have internal strength to protect themselves, he is not afraid of the cold, holding Ming Lanying is even warmer, raising his hand and waving, his fingertips are windy, and the candle flame in the house is extinguished after shaking twice, and the candle heart is emitting slowly rising green smoke.

Sure enough, I won't write about this kind of fighting back and forth (*)

Let's watch the excitement, brainless cookies before going to bed (:3)
