After Shao Xi separated from Bai Jinqing and Hu Yushan, he walked out of the Yintai Gate to get the horses, and just as he was about to leave, he heard someone call him again.

Shao Xi wondered in his heart, what day is this? How can someone look for you wherever you go?

So he turned back to follow the prestige, and saw a carriage parked not far from the Yintai Gate, and a man standing next to the car.

Shao Xi almost couldn't help laughing when he saw it, he didn't expect this Yu Ji to be really patient, he had been idle with Xiao Yuming for an hour, and chatted with Bai Jinqing and Hu Yushan in the Yintai Gate for a while, he could actually wait outside for so long!

It seems that this matter of Fengyang County really made him very concerned, although he had already prepared in his heart that he would come to find him, but he didn't want him to be so urgent, and he went directly to the door of Yintai to block himself, which did make Shao Xi feel a little surprised.

However, Yu Ji is a household secretary, and he took the initiative to greet him, and he was not too rude.

So he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "It turned out to be Lord Shangshu!" Lord Shangshu, is this the end of talking to the saint? I don't know why I stopped the lower official here? Is there something wrong with the adults looking for the next official? ”

Shao Xi's pretending to be stupid and stunned, and asking knowingly made Yu Ji quite embarrassed.

He knew in his heart that Shao Xi knew what he was looking for, but now he was pretending to be confused in front of him, it seemed that some words could no longer be hidden, it was better to simply tell him directly, so as not to make the other party feel that he was hypocritical.

So he arched his hand and said to Shao Xi: "Lord Shao, don't make jokes about this official, this official is waiting for Lord Shao here for the matter of Fengyang County, why should Lord Shao knowingly ask?" ”

Although Shao Xi knew that Yu Ji wanted to intercede with him, he didn't want to give him a chance so easily.

The heart said that you Yu Ji is the head of the household department, in charge of the world's money and grain, even Xiao Changyi, the emperor, you dare to change the way to make things difficult, and even in Fengyang County, you support the Tong family's father and son as a disaster place, your unlucky son has a holiday with me, how can he let you go so easily?

So Shao Xi continued to pretend to be confused.

"What do you mean, Lord Yu? Although the matter of the father and son of the Tong family in Fengyang County was handed over to the lower officials to investigate, what does this matter have to do with Lord Yu?

"Lord Yu is a high-ranking and powerful scholar in the court, how can he be so concerned about the affairs of Fengyang County?

"It seems that Lord Yu is really worried about the country and the people, and he is so concerned about the little things in this place, which is indeed commendable!"

Yu Ji knew in his heart that Shao Xi was clearly mocking himself, but now that his pigtails were in the hands of others, he didn't dare to attack even if he was unhappy.

Hurriedly accompanied by a smile and said to Shao Xi: "Lord Shao, don't laugh at this official anymore, this official knows that since Lord Shao found out about the Tong family in Fengyang County, he must have also found out the relationship between the Tong family and this official, but he didn't say it explicitly in front of the saint, and this official would like to thank Lord Shao for saving face for this official." ”

Seeing Yu Ji say this, Shao Xi became more and more interested, and continued to pretend to be confused: "Oh? Then the Tong family in Fengyang County still has a relationship with Lord Yu? The officials really don't know about this matter, and dare to ask Lord Yu what is the relationship between Lord Yu and the Tong family in Fengyang County? Maybe it will be of some help to the lower officials to investigate and deal with Fengyang County. ”

Yu Ji saw that Shao Xi was going to pretend to be this fool to the end, and he was helpless in his heart, he knew in his heart that Shao Xi was pinching him at this time, but he couldn't attack it anyway.

At this time, the expression on his face can be said to be extremely exciting, he wants to be angry but does not dare to be angry, and he is reluctant to laugh and laugh more ugly than crying.

In the end, he simply turned his heart to the side and said to Shao Xi bluntly: "Lord Shao, you don't have to pretend to be confused, you must have found out that the Tong family is a distant relative of this official in Fengyang County, and now they are to blame for committing such a major event and being stabbed by Lord Shao, and they deserve it."

"It's just that this matter will inevitably implicate the official, especially the official who is now serving as the secretary of the household department, and it is very easy to be considered to be the backer behind the Tong family's evil for many years, so the official came to Lord Shao this time to clarify with Lord Shao that although the official and the Tong family are related, they are not familiar with each other.

"If the people of the Tong family are doing evil outside in the name of their own officials, they are really making their own opinions, and this official really doesn't know, and I ask Lord Shao to be able to see clearly when the time comes, don't listen to other people's slander, and return the official's innocence.

"I know that the dog in the family is negligent in discipline, there are many inappropriate behaviors on weekdays, and there has been a conflict with Lord Shao, the official is here to apologize to Lord Shao for the dog, and I hope that Lord Shao will be magnanimous and not take it to heart.

"The innocence of the official's net worth is all tied to the hands of Lord Shao, and please take a lot of care from Lord Shao, Lord Shao's help will definitely be remembered by the official, and he should be grateful afterwards!"

Shao Xi heard that you couldn't pretend anymore, so he just told me the truth!

However, there are still lies in this truth, it is clear that you are behind your back to support the Tong family to do evil in Fengyang County, and you also reap benefits from it, and now that you see that the Tong family is dead, you will push the blame away, and what kind of innocence do you talk about with yourself?

Sure enough, he is a ruthless old guy, and he does not hesitate to sell his relatives and son in order to protect himself, since he talks about thanking him, Shao Xi really wants to know what this Yu Ji will do to thank himself.

So he pretended to be righteous and awe-inspiring, impartial and selfless and said to Yu Ji: "Lord Yu, who does this regard as a subordinate official?" What is the relationship between the Tong family of Fengyang County and Lord Yu, the lower officials will find out, and as for whether what they have done in Fengyang County for so many years is related to Lord Yu, the lower officials will also find out.

"If Lord Yu has no ghost in his heart, why is he afraid of what others say? Lord Yu, please rest assured, the festival between your prince and Xia Guan is another matter, he bullied my family in the future, I will go to him to settle accounts, Lord Yu, as his father, wants to intercede for him is reasonable, Xia Guan deeply understands.

"But this matter of Fengyang County! It's another matter, this matter is about the stability of a county at best, and it is about the people's aspirations of my Jingyuan Dynasty at a small level, and this matter is personally assigned by the saint, how dare the lower officials show favoritism?

"If Lord Yu is not the person who supports the Tong family behind him, the lower officials will definitely not retaliate for personal gain, but if there is something unspeakable in the hearts of Lord Yu, then the lower officials will persuade Lord Yu to do it himself.

"But then again, you and I are both officials in the same dynasty, and Lord Yu is a grade higher than my official, whether it is in terms of age or seniority, Lord Yu is the predecessor of the lower officials, and the lower officials naturally don't want to embarrass Lord Yu, as for how to do it, it's up to Lord Yu himself."

Shao Xi can be regarded as beating Yu Ji now, your son has offended me, I will definitely settle accounts with him in the future, what will happen to him when the time comes, you Yu Ji can't even let out a fart.

And I also told you that I will not use this incident to clean him up, so in the future, your handle is in my hands, and you can only watch how I clean up your son.

At present, the matter of Fengyang County is big or small, if I want to suppress this matter, it is not impossible to do it, then it depends on what kind of thank you method is in Yu Ji's mouth.

If you don't understand the situation and want to get away with me, then I'm sorry! I can make this matter bigger, and make you rob your family and destroy your clan, and you will be ruined.

Shao Xi told Yu Ji plainly, I will always hold this handle in my hands in the future, and as long as you are disobedient in the future, I will use this matter to deal with you.

But on the surface, I will still leave this face to you, if you figure me out, you will have face inside, if you can't figure it out, then don't ask for face!

Yu Ji has been an official for so many years, and he is also a scheming and cunning guy, how could he not understand Shao Xi's words?

In fact, at this time, he wanted to tear the guy with a wicked smile in front of him to pieces, but he was weak.

As Shao Xi said, the matter of the Tong family in Fengyang County is indeed big or small, and at worst, it is a local evil force, so it is okay to get rid of it.

But if he pulls himself out, this will involve the collusion between the court and the locality, if Shao Xicheng wants to make this matter bigger, he can say as big as he can.

So in the face of Shao Xi at this time, he could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, he had to endure it if he could, and he had to endure it if he couldn't.

After weighing it, Yu Ji had no other way, so he could only say to Shao Xi in a low voice: "This official believes that Lord Shao will definitely investigate and deal with it impartially, and he will definitely return his innocence."

"In the future, no matter what difficulties Lord Shao encounters in the court or where he can use his own officials, he only needs to send someone to inform him, and this official will definitely help him wholeheartedly, cooperate sincerely, and never shirk his prevarication!"

Shao Xi didn't actually need Yu Ji to take any heavy gifts to thank him, what he wanted was Yu Ji's words.

You must know that Yu Ji is a scholar of the household department, and he is in charge of the world's money and grain, if he can fully cooperate with him in everything in the future, it can be said that there are few things that cannot be done in this Jingyuan Empire.

What Shao Xi wants is to use this power in his hands.

Yu Ji is also wise, and he doesn't say anything like other people, he knows very well that his current identity is the most valuable.

So since he gave Shao Xi this promise, fulfilling the promise in the future will be a heavy thank you to Shao Xi, and he is really a smart person who is easy to do!

When he said this, Shao Xi also felt very satisfied.

So he bowed his hand to Yu Jiyi and said: "What Lord Yu said is extremely true, the lower officials should do their best in this matter, since Lord Yu has nothing to do with the Tong family, the lower officials should also return Lord Yu's innocence."

"We are both holy ministers, we should work together for my Jingyuan Dynasty, there are still many places that may have to bother Lord Yu in the future, and I will ask Lord Yu to take care of me at that time, and the lower officials thank you in advance!"

As he spoke, Shao Xi bowed down and gave Yu Ji a salute, and Yu Ji hurriedly returned the salute.

At this time, although Yu Ji was greeting Shao Xi's family in his heart, he still had to maintain a smile on his face.

But why isn't Shao Xi like this?
