Chapter 182: Books of Account

Hua Rujin tried hard to recall some of the fragments of last night, and couldn't tell which ones happened in reality and which ones were her own dreams, and she vaguely felt that Ye Chengwei seemed to have indeed come.

She asked Xiaolian and Xiaowei again: "Did Lord Ye really come?" ”

Thinking of the scene last night when the young lady was splashing and rolling all over the ground and asking for wine, Xiaolian and Xiaowei were really hard to speak, so they just gritted their teeth and nodded heavily.

Look at the two little girls honestly and refused to elaborate, Hua Rujin didn't ask more.

Heng Zhi has good wine, and he will not do anything bad to him.

After washing, I changed into clean clothes, hurriedly used some porridge boiled by Xiaolian, and thought that I was not in the government office for half a day yesterday, so I rushed to the inspection department early.

Seeing that Ye Chengwei was sitting upright in the hall, looking thoughtful, she smiled and waved her hand to him: "Morning, adult." ”

"You and Us"

Ye Chengwei recalled the kissing scene with her last night, and wanted to remind her, but Hua Rujin swaggered and walked directly past him like a nobody.

"Is this Nizi trying to deny it?"

Ye Chengwei showed a puzzled face, and looked at her departing back with disdain.

"Or did she forget what she did?"

Thinking of this, Ye Chengwei was even more contemptuous.

I confessed my heart to her seriously, but she forgot it all.

Ahem, the wine is really bad.

Hua Rujin sat on the side of his desk, secretly glanced at Ye Chengwei, and didn't seem to be happy when he buried his head tightly, thinking of the quarrel with him yesterday, I was afraid that he was still angry because he prevented him from continuing to investigate the Zhuo family's affairs.

But he didn't mean to protect Luo Chuhuai, so why should he be a thief and explain too much to him, which would attract him more suspicions.

He just regarded himself as a subordinate and colleague, and he couldn't report to him in every detail.

Throughout the morning, the two of them were busy with their own work, until noon, Ye Chengwei was summoned by the political envoy to go to the political envoy's yamen, Hua Rujin finished processing the official document in his hand, recalled the conversation with King Ning in the restaurant yesterday, and always felt that something was wrong, so he wanted to explain it to him seriously.

But as soon as he left the mansion, he met Luo Chuhuai's sedan chair.

Seeing this person again, Hua Rujin held back a fire in her heart.

"Rujin, can you accompany me to the teahouse opposite to talk?"

Luo Chuhuai asked politely.

Hua Rujin also had a lot of things to talk to him about, so she followed him to the teahouse opposite in silence.

When they arrived at the secluded place of the teahouse, Luo Chuhuai asked for a pot of tea and a few snacks, and the two sat down, seeing that she looked a little haggard, Luo Chuhuai couldn't help but worry: "But didn't you rest well last night?" ”

"I'm resting well."

Hua Rujin raised her eyes coldly and glanced at him: "What is the reason why the Metropolitan Governor is looking for me today?" ”

"It's the New Year's Festival in a few days, you are lonely when you first come to the provincial capital, I'm afraid it's too late to rush back to Jiangling City, this New Year's Festival will go to your father's mansion."

Luo Chuhuai smiled faintly: "It's just time to buy more New Year's goods for my father, if you like anything, you can tell your father." ”

"I won't bother with the governor."

Hua Rujin didn't bother to talk to him about these trivial things anymore, and asked bluntly: "Why did the Metropolitan Governor frame Ye Gongzi?" ”

"Framing Ye Chengwei?"

Luo Chuhuai pondered for a moment, and immediately reacted to what she mentioned, and replied with a smile: "You are talking about Hua Minze, you are really wronged as a father in this matter, is it possible that if your father doesn't hand over Hua Minze, Ye Chengwei will not investigate this matter thoroughly?" I'm just helping him. ”

After a pause, his smile became even more wanton: "Ye Chengwei is a rare talent, how can I be unfavorable to him, besides, how can a father not see your thoughts, even if it is for you, I will not frame him, when he overthrows King Yun, he will get the weight of King Fu, in this way, his career will only skyrocket." ”

"Get the weight of the Blessed King?"

Hua Rujin kept sneering: "The Metropolitan Governor is really a good plan, do you want him to be embarrassed with you and collaborate with the enemy and betray the country?" ”

"Collaboration with the enemy and traitor?"

Luo Chuhuai looked angry, and reprimanded dissatisfiedly: "How dare you talk to your father like this, for your father's dignified governor of the five armies, the governor of the five armies, and the emperor is deeply favored to lead the whole country's soldiers and horses, how can you do such disloyal and unrighteous things, who did you listen to instigated?" ”

"Was it really instigated by someone else?"

Hua Rujin looked at him sharply: "The Zhuo family is just an imperial businessman, if there is no one to support them, how dare they dare to open iron ore privately, and where does the excavated ore go?" ”

"How can you be concerned about these things?"

Luo Chuhuai was even more dissatisfied with her questioning: "Your girl's family is getting more and more disagreeable, and you are actually involved in these things all day long, and you don't want your head?" ”

Realizing that he shouldn't be so strict with his daughter, he took a sip of tea slowly, his voice gradually softened, and he persuaded in a serious tone: "Rujin, listen to your father's advice, the affairs of the court are not what you should ask, and you have also got the desired result in the case of the Zhuo family, so stop it, if you and Ye Chengwei insist on going their own way again, you will anger King Fu, and your father will not be able to protect you." ”

"Could it be that in the eyes of the Grand Governor, the safety of one person is not as important as the Jiangshan Sheji?"

Listening to him take a bite of a blessed king, Hua Rujin felt cold.

It's really King Fu's loyal dog, but it's a pity for those soldiers who are out on the battlefield.

How disappointed they would have been to learn that their master, who had fought so hard, was so virtuous.

Luo Chuhuai thought that this girl just wanted to earn a few silver, but now she gradually realized that it was not so simple.

I don't know where she got such courage that anyone dares to provoke her.

After sorting out his thoughts, he reprimanded very seriously: "You are a yellow-haired girl, where do you know what to do, my father has spoken very thoroughly today, whether you listen to someone instigating or you are jealous, you are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the Zhuo family." ”

Thinking that his daughter was so stubborn, perhaps instigated by Lu Ming, he finally reminded:

"I don't object to you liking Ye Chengwei's kid, but don't forget, his father is the new first assistant, and he is King Yun's henchman, you keep saying that your father collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, do you want to help that old thing calculate your father? Don't think about it, King Fu is the son of His Majesty, how could he do such a thing? ”

With that, he left angrily.

Hua Rujin carefully reflected on Luo Chuhuai's words, and listened to his tone, but she was afraid that she didn't know much about King Fu and the Zhuo family.

Ye Chengwei came out of the political envoy's office, and a small official came up mysteriously, handed over a wrapped booklet to him, vigilantly looked around, and whispered: "My lord, someone suddenly presented this account book today, which records every place where the iron ore mined by the Zhuo family has been privately mined over the years. ”

Ye Chengwei sat back on the carriage, opened the account book and took a look, only to see that not only every transaction was recorded on it, but also the list of officials involved in smuggling ore was also clearly recorded.

He was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Who presented the account book?" ”

The little official shook his head blankly: "I didn't hold that person." ”

Ye Chengwei nodded hesitantly: "It's okay, it's enough to have this booklet." Then he began to think about what to do with the booklet.
