Jinling City Palace

In the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, the emperor summoned Zhu Zhichun, the king of Yun, and pinched the fold handed back by the Inspection Department in his hand, and immediately reprimanded him angrily: "Look at the good things you have done, the first emperor and I ordered you to go to Jingzhou Mansion to experience the experience, but you let such a horrific thing happen under your rule." ”

"Erchen was wronged, it must have been Ye Chengwei who deliberately framed Erchen."

Zhu Zhichun had already learned about the Jingzhou Mansion, for fear of implicating himself, so he argued: "Ye Chengwei is the proud protégé of Lord Shoufu, and Wei Lao has always been dissatisfied with his sons, he is afraid that he is ordered by Wei Lao's dispatch and wants to provoke the relationship between his sons and his father. ”

"You rebel still dare to climb Shousuke."

The emperor was furious, and threw the fold in his hand directly into King Yun's face: "That Ye Chengwei is the champion selected by me, and now he is talking to you just now, deliberately excusing you, Wen Yuming, Liu Cheng, and Tu Hong Several officials have committed suicide in fear of crime, if it weren't for someone deliberately murdering, I would never dare to believe it, if it wasn't for the inspection department being careful enough, I really want to think that Ye Chengwei is an impartial and upright gentleman." ”

Zhu Tongchun glanced at the excerpt reported by the Inspection Department in his hand, and then realized that it was not Ye Chengwei who suspected that he had something to do with the Baitoushan Coal Kiln, but the people from the Inspection Department who were playing right and wrong, and hurriedly changed his words: "My father is wronged, Erchen and Ye Zhixian have no personal relationship, how can he talk to Erchen." ”

In this way, he tried his best to protect this person, and told the truth what he had heard:

"Please also ask my father to calm his anger, although the son was in charge of the entire Jingzhou Mansion back then, but there are many people below, the son is really difficult to take care of everything, let people take advantage of the loophole, so that thousands of people were killed, the son is also deeply saddened, Ye Zhixian is deeply favored by the emperor to share the worries of his father and the emperor is also understandable, the son heard that this time he was in order to thoroughly investigate the case of Baitou Mountain, he did not hesitate to turn against the governor of Jiang Fang, and pointed the sword at Liu Yan, which saved the innocent people who were ready to sacrifice to the river, this integrity is really admirable."

The emperor looked at King Yun carefully, and pondered it in silence for a long time.

Although it is rumored that the Ministry of Officials in Beijing has long become King Yun's department, Ye Chengwei dared to thoroughly investigate this case and pointed the finger at King Yun, indicating that he was indeed selfless and not a henchman of King Yun.

And this guy found out that the prisoner was not interrogated privately, but he handed it over to the Inspection Division, which can prove that he is loyal to him, and he did not want to instigate the father-son relationship between himself and King Yun, which is really rare.

It's this stinky boy who actually pointed to the history of Jiang defense, and spreading it is really detrimental to Tianwei.

After thinking about it, he waved his hand to King Yun with heavy eyes, and then instructed the chief attendant beside him: "Spread my will, Ye Chengwei, the champion of the new department, is a supreme official, and if he dares to do something arrogant, he will be immediately removed from all positions and escorted to Beijing for questioning." ”

"Father."

When Zhu Zhichun heard this, he was immediately unhappy, and was about to intercede for him, but the emperor directly suppressed a fierce look: "Huh? Why, King Yun, do you want to get involved even with my people? ”

"Erchen doesn't dare."

After Zhu Zhichun bowed down in fear, he had to retreat first.

The autumn breeze is bleak, and the weather is getting cooler and cooler.

At the beginning of September, as the bones of the wrecked mine were found, the excavation of the wrecked mine was gradually completed, the conscripted people dispersed one after another, and most of the bodies of the victims were claimed by the bitter master.

The noisy half-moon in the mountains gradually calmed down.

On the evening of this day, with the help of the camp tent of the Jiangfang garrison, Ye Chengwei personally prepared some wine and food, and invited Hua Rujin to come to the banquet.

The two sat in the courtyard, silently watching the autumn scenery in the courtyard for a long time, Ye Chengwei poured a full of wine unhurriedly and toasted each other:

"It's been a while since I've known Miss Hua, and it's actually the first time I've sat together to drink like today, and I salute you for this glass of wine, and I respect our tacit understanding of working together."

"Tacit understanding?"

Hua Rujin always felt that he had bad intentions in inviting him to come alone today, so he slowly raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "It's true, if there is no Ye Gongzi, I'm afraid that I am still stuck in the quagmire now." ”

"You're welcome."

Ye Chengwei also showed a shallow smile: "But it's all your own creation." ”

Afterwards, the drink was consumed.

But looking at her questioning eyes, he had to patiently explain: "Miss Hua doesn't have to mind, I have no motive to harm you today." ”

Ye Gongzi laughed.

Hua Rujin didn't care about this layer this time, after all, the two glasses of wine were poured out of the same wine jug under his nose, so he drank the wine with confidence.

Ye Chengwei nodded with satisfaction: "What are Miss Hua's plans next?" ”

Hua Rujin didn't know why he had this question, and replied truthfully: "Go home." ”

"And rightfully so."

Seeing that she didn't understand what she meant, Ye Chengwei didn't beat around the bush, and said bluntly: "The official He of the Imperial History should come to Jiang'an County in these two days, I heard that this person likes to recruit talents, and only talents are used, then Yan Huaqing, the lawyer of Jiangling City, is now under his hands, since Miss Hua is so interested in prison, she might as well try to serve under him." ”

"Did Ye Gongzi forget his agreement with me?"

Hua Rujin finally understood his intention of inviting herself here today.

Is this an account of the aftermath?

The patrol has to go out to patrol the states according to the imperial history, and there are a lot of cases to be investigated in hand, which is indeed much more promising than following a county magistrate.

However, she is not a mercenary person, but it is the champion who has achieved who she is today, how can she only think about climbing high branches.

"Ye Gongzi won't be worried that he won't be able to pay for hiring me as your staff, right?"

Hua Rujin approached him, smiled evilly and quipped: "Either I'll give you a cheaper price, and you can reward me with two taels of silver a month, or a little accommodating, and allow me to support my family by taking out private work." ”

Ye Chengwei casually poured a glass of wine, drank lightly and replied: "Wouldn't this wronged Miss Hua." ”

"No grievances, no grievances."

Hua Rujin waved her hand with a big grin: "To be able to become Ye Gongzi's guest, others can't ask for it." ”

"It seems that this county has a very high prestige in Miss Hua's heart."

Ye Chengwei's apricot eyes flickered, staring at her closely.

Hua Rujin was overwhelmed by his sudden direct gaze, hurriedly shifted her gaze, and said lightly: "Ye Gongzi cares about the people of Li and does his best, not only me, but everyone naturally admires Ye Gongzi." ”

"It's over."

Ye Chengwei really couldn't hear the compliment when he heard her words, but seemed to be perfunctory.

It's just that he knows very well the situation he is about to face, although he has a lot of reluctance for her in his heart, but at this juncture, he is already unable to protect himself, so why bother to worry about her.

Quietly put away the disorder in his heart, he put some vegetables in her bowl with gentle eyes, and whispered: "Your temperament is similar to mine, and you can't take care of three meals when you do things, eat more today." ”

"Well, you too."

Hua Rujin smiled indifferently at him.

Seeing him so calm and calm, his heart became more and more uneasy.

I'm afraid that what I've been worrying about all these days is coming.
