Hongli saw that his father was no longer angry, and he relieved his heart and quit. Seeing Li Hansan stomping his feet and still waiting under the big willow tree at the double gate, he smiled and said, "You can go back to the house first, there are still no guards here?" Besides, this is Beijing, the land of the underworld, will there be a big thief who cuts the path? Li Hansan helped Hongli to get on the horse, and he also rode closely behind, glanced at the guards and soldiers who followed behind, and said in a low voice: "Fourth master, there is something very bad, I am afraid that I will be bitten by dogs!" Hongli was stunned for a moment, turned his head and asked, "Who?" ”

"Zhang Xi, that bitch." Li Hansan said, "He recognized me." It was originally called 'Zhang Xi', I think there are many names and surnames in the world, but I didn't think that the road was narrow, but it was really the one who had trouble with me in Kaifeng! ”

Hongli reined in the horse, pondered for a while, and immediately pulled out the weight of this matter: That Zhang Xi's heart for survival is flourishing, what can't he do? It doesn't matter if the case of the science field is connected, if Zeng Jing, Zhang Xi and Li Hansan are connected in a line, he will be suspected of harboring rebellious repeat offenders...... Thinking about it deeply, Yue Zhongqi has always walked around his house diligently, and Li Hansan was planted with a stolen stolen slot again, and the two cases were combined, and he would immediately throw himself into the center of the monstrous evil waves! He pursed his lips, and the first thought that flashed in his heart was to let Li Hansan escape from the wind, or simply kill him, but he immediately denied this risky idea: Li Hansan will either die or leave, in case Zhang Xipan bites out, it will become an inexplicable thing - what if Zhang Xi is killed in the secret field? He thought again, of course, this is less risky, but Zhang Xi is now an unfinished criminal in the case, and it is not easy for five or six yamen to take public care, and if he can't get it, the fake will become real...... For a while, this steady and dignified young prince was a little confused. He thought for a while and said, "I'm not going to the Prison God Temple, let's go back to the house and count." Because he called the servant and ordered: "Don't follow, send someone to ask Liu Tongxun to come to the house." "After that, he whipped the horse and went to Li Hansan. When they entered the alley deep in the flowers, they passed by the gate of Hongyang Mansion, but saw that the door was sending off guests, and the two of them put Mahler in the corner, but saw that it was Fang Bao who resigned from inside. Hongli didn't want to socialize at this time, so he only flashed into the middle of the road with Li Hansan, and waited for Fang Bao's sedan chair to pass before returning to the house, and saw Liu Tongxun dismounted at the door.

"Yanqing, you are quick to reverse your legs." Hongli pressed his heart and invited Liu Tongxun to enter the West Study together, while letting Liu Tongxun and Li Hansan sit, he smiled and said: "Walking from the rope craftsman alley is a little farther than this side, one step ahead of us." Liu Tongxun said with a smile: "I came from the beekeeping road, Li Wei said that you went to the emperor, and I came to the house to wait." The two of them thought about it and couldn't help but smile. Liu Tongxun is a person who is very familiar with walking around in the house, because he saw that Yanhong and Yingying both opened their faces, he smiled and said: "You have made a side blessing, congratulations on your promotion!" What about the Wen family? ”

Yan Hong smiled and served tea to everyone, glanced at Hongli with a red face, and said, "Lord Liu just make us happy!" I heard that you have been promoted to the head of the household, so you have been promoted! Mother Wen was hot for several days and didn't come to wait. Xiaoying only turned her back and smiled.

"Okay, all high!" Liu Tongxun laughed and said, "Aren't we all entrusted with the blessing of the fourth master?" Several people laughed. Liu Tongxun said again: "Yu Hongtu repaired the river, and asked the household department to provide 2,000 pieces of wood, and the wood of the household department was allocated to the military department. This is one thing, I haven't been here for a few days, and I really thought about it, so I ran here. As he spoke, he presented the timber transfer slip.

Hongli didn't even think about it, he picked up the pen and signed, and said with a smile while writing: "This Yu Hongtu is amazing, dedicated to doing things, and shrewd and skilled, and young, do you want to be a famous minister!" Liu Tongxun smiled but didn't answer, took the transfer order, grabbed it with one hand, and said: "There is such a problem, I am afraid that it will be difficult for a famous minister!" Hongli's eyes flashed and asked, "What, the hand chief asks for money?" Don't dare to speak without evidence! Liu Tongxun smiled and said: "I only listened to some rumors." ”

"There are too many rumors in this world, and the shrewd people are confused." Hongli sighed and said, "I called you here because I was afraid that the wind would talk about it." Because he said that Zhang Xi recognized Li Hansan, he said: "You know how Hansan followed me, and I won't hide it from you, if Zhang Xi bites someone and goes to the No. 1 lawsuit of Tianzi, it will be very troublesome!" Li Hansan said: "Fourth master, I caused trouble for you, and I still accept it." I can go to the criminal department and surrender. ”

Liu Tongxun no longer had a smile on his face, shook his head and said, "It's not okay to surrender." What did you vote for? Zeng Jing's case has nothing to do with you, and the court has withdrawn the troublesome case. As long as no one has the heart to rectify the fourth master, this matter is nothing at all. If he sincerely brought down the fourth master, he would not necessarily use this method. As far as Zhang Xi is concerned, recognizing Li Hansan as Qin Fengwu will not be easy to say. The emperor has the heart to forgive him, why does he want to kill himself? If the court wants to kill him and pull a cushion on his back, then he may talk nonsense - this is human nature. How many cases have I judged, even the dumbest fool knows how to avoid the serious. As soon as he said it, Hongli and Li Hansan were relieved before they realized that they were fans of the authorities. Yan Hong and Ying Ying only realized Hongli's worries at this time, and hung up on their minds. Yan Hong frowned and said, "What if someone is going to make it bad and provoke Zeng Jingpan to bite the people in the court?" ”

"No, it won't."

Liu Tongxun was silent for a long time, and suddenly smiled, "You care more than the fourth master, so you think so." Zeng Zhang's case was presided over by the fourth master, and the fourth master did not allow them, who dared to flirt indiscriminately? He pondered for a while and sighed, "If it falls into the hands of someone else, it will be really difficult to say." It's not that I'm complaining, when the fourth master returned to Beijing, he should have made the things on the road clear as they were, and if he found out, he wouldn't have so many worries today. You are too generous and too good, people think that you can only laugh and not kill, and he dares to do it on his face! "Won't kill?" Hongli smiled slightly and said: "As the emperor's elder brother, it is not good to have a toothy eye revenge in his heart, but it is still above board." I'm not unguarded, though. If you don't take precautions, you will become a bad person, and you will not be able to complete the career of your father. He leaned back in his chair with some relaxation, and for a moment his mind was relieved. Liu Tongxun said: "You didn't pay attention, what I said just now is one thing, and there is one more thing to ask the master, the blind man Wu who said before has come to Beijing, and he came with the slaves, please see me." ”

"Blind Wu," Hongli glanced at Yan Hong, and said, "You call someone to pass him in." As soon as the words fell, I saw a small sound between the bamboo shadows outside the window, and a voice like a bell said outside the door: "Wu Xuexue knocks on Prince Bao!" Hongli and Li Hansan were both taken aback, only to see that the cotton curtain moved, and Wu Xuexue had already stepped in. Hongli nodded slightly stiffly, looking at this Jianghu high-roller nicknamed Wu Blind. I saw that he was wearing a sauce-colored homespun robe, his figure was similar to Liu Tongxun, with a pitch-black beard on his square face, his nose wings slightly open, and two thick eyebrows on his black and red face. He kowtowed to Hongli on the spot and said: "The slave is Wu Blind, homophonic with his real name, and loves to squeeze and blink, so he simply followed this nickname." Hongli didn't have a stand at all, looked at Wu Blind with a smile, and ordered: "Yingying, serve tea to Wu Zhuangshi." ”

Yingying agreed softly, but without using a teacup, she vacated the bamboo strip tube from the Jiangnan belt and put it firmly on the coffee table in front of Wu Blind, and turned back to carry the pot. Everyone didn't pay attention, and Liu Tongxun was still complaining: "Let's come together, the fourth master came back, and when he turned around, he disappeared from you." I invite you in a dignified manner, but I want to sneak in, and the rivers and lakes will not change! Hongli saw Yingying carrying the pot over to pour water into the bamboo strip "cup", and said with a smile: "Yingying, that's a pen holder!" Don't you have bad eyes? Ying Ying smiled: "Wu's blind eyes are not good, he is on fire." The bamboo strip tea water dispels the heat, and the situation is drunk. Even if it doesn't work, I'll just change the glass. ”

"Make, make." Wu Blind smiled and picked up the "cup" full of sieve eyes, and still calmly talked to Liu Tongxun: "There is an old woman of the Wen family in this mansion who played a prank, stole my belt, and changed me with a hemp rope. If you don't look at the face of the fourth master, you will hang the hemp rope for her! As he spoke, the "cup" was filled with water, but it was strange that it did not leak. Hongli was so surprised that his eyes widened, he left his seat and came to him, and looked carefully, the cup full of hot water was emitting white smoke, and the sieve eyes seemed to be protected by some transparent glue, and he was stunned that there was no leakage! Hongli didn't pay attention to what the blind man Wu said, and used the handle of the fan to pluck the hot mist, and said, "Strange, strange!" Is this a spell or real kung fu? As he spoke, he reached out and took his cup. Wu Blind said with a smile: "This Nizi can not be faked in front of me, this is my protection with my anger, the fourth master is at one end, and it is quasi-leaking." He looked up and smiled at Yan Hong and said, "Give me some tea, how to eat white water?" ”

Yingying said: "Fourth master, don't believe him, I think he is also a piece of the rivers and lakes, and this is not a great skill." You see, I can also use my breath to protect this water from spilling! As she spoke, she picked up the grate, and sure enough, it did not leak, and as soon as she said, "You are nothing more than that-," and suddenly the "cup" of water spurted out like an arrow, and it splashed on her feet. Yingying put the cup on the coffee table with an "ouch", and the cup did not leak. Almost at the same time, Yan Hong stood a foot away, grabbed a large handful of tea leaves, and said, "Give you tea!" ”

"Don't be a prank, a little is enough!" The blind man Wu squeezed his eyes, his hands were open, but he saw that half of the house of broken tea leaves was swirling and gathering like a demon, and slowly moved to the front of the blind man. Wu Blind calmly took out a handful of soaked in water with three fingers, pushed the tea ball with his hand and said, "Go back!" The hydrangea big tea ball flew back, and Yan Hong was busy picking it up with both hands, and it was already scattered on the ground. She blushed and said, "Admire, Wu Blind has no name." ”

At this point, a literary battle ended, and the victory or defeat was self-evident, and everyone smiled. Hongli smiled: "Two Ponizi dare to be so slow, it's too untrained." Yan Hong said: "We crossed the Yellow River and saw him in Suojia Town!" Even if you didn't catch up with the Yellow River crossing, and later in the battle of the old locust tree, the battle was shaky, how dare you stand by and watch? Didn't you follow Master Li's orders to protect our master? ”

"The little one is guilty." Blind Wu smiled magnanimously and said, "I am indeed present in Huai Shutun. Because Gong Yu repeatedly instructed that the matter was not in a critical situation, he would not take action. Those wild sorghum flowers, soil and clumsy sickles, I see that they can't resist the impermanence. However, the iron-headed Jiao, as well as the black impermanence that fell into the well, are still in my hands, and I brought it to you this time when I entered Beijing. He turned his face to Yan Hong and Ying Ying and said: "You are the adopted daughter of the Wen family's grandmother, and I am the adopted son of the black grandmother. It's the same root, don't be too anxious to fry each other, okay? Yan Hong also smiled.

Hongli was overjoyed when he heard that he had captured the leader of the iron-headed Jiaojiao, but he was a dignified and dignified person, staring at Wu Blind with only his black pupils, and said with a smile: "It's really not easy, it's really hard for you!" Speaking of which, it is still Li Wei who will do things. Ironhead Jiao is the one who contacts the bandits from all sides, and he must know who is the mastermind to hunt me down. I'm going to get to the bottom of it this time. Yan Qinggong, you say that I don't kill people, I can only admit that I don't kill people easily. I must ask you to see if Hongli is a coward! ”

"The Iron Head Jiao has been recruited." Wu Blind glanced at Liu Tongxun uneasily, and said after considering the words: "This person is not afraid of fighting, he is not afraid of killing, I can't cure him." Li Zhengtai said to try a few women, so he picked out a few female dogs in the kiln, and sure enough, he was retried, and he was promised to be a few women, and the iron-headed Jiao made all the moves. As he spoke, he glanced at Yan Hong Yingying again, and the two of them turned their faces and laughed secretly when they heard his foul words. Liu Tongxun, a very smart person, knew that it was inconvenient for him to be there, and he didn't want to know too much about these things, so he got up and said goodbye because of the timber transfer order, and said: "The iron head Jiao has been handed over to the Xing family brothers to take care of, and the slaves have not tried them, and they were judged by Li Zhitai." They have already opened their mouths, and the fourth master only asks them. Hongli also stood up, said a few words of business, and said: "Yu Hongtu, you can talk half-truthfully, this is a talent, but it's a pity that the material is gone." ”

Sending Liu Tongxun away, Hongli immediately asked people to bring iron head Jiao and black impermanence. Wu Blind was about to withdraw, Hongli smiled and said: "Don't learn from Liu Tongxun, he is an official, and you are a master of the rivers and lakes." Wu Blind smiled and said: "It's Li Zhitai Jun's order, don't let me walk around in the official face, as soon as the people on the rivers and lakes become dogs on the official face, they won't be able to eat on the underworld." Hongli laughed and said, "Can they still go back to the rivers and lakes?" If you enter this house, you are this family, and Li Wei controls the underworld through your hands, right? I'm not wrong about you. Wu Blind said: "I am also only in charge of a few provinces along the Yangtze River, and how Li Zhitai controls other people in other provinces." Now that Li Zhengtai has a relationship with Mama Hei and the Duanmu family, I don't know much about it. ”

"What is the identity of the Duanmu family, and the reputation of the rivers and lakes is so prominent?"

"This—" said the blind man, "don't these two girls know?" ”

"I'm asking you." Hongli smiled.

Wu Blind Man snorted: "They are the great families who fell in the previous Ming Dynasty and have been more than 200 years old. During the Wanli period, he changed his name and surname to go darts, sealed the knife from the 30th year of Kangxi, gathered the clan to practice martial arts and farming, and no longer interfered in the rivers and lakes. However, his brand is too bright, and every New Year's Day, the black and white of the green forests and darts from all over the country go to congratulate the master. Last year, the old man passed away, and on his deathbed, he said, 'Whoever meddles in the affairs of the rivers and lakes will be expelled from the Duanmu Gate, the Taiping world, practicing martial arts is only for fitness, and farming and eating are better than anything else.' He looked at Yanhong and Yingying and smiled: "Don't look at them with identity, they may not even have a place to return to now!" Hongli sighed: "This master is well versed in the way of life-" To go on, seeing Xing Jianye coming in with the iron-headed Jiao one after the other, he stopped and stared at this iron-headed Jiao. In the wind and waves of the Yellow River, I only cared about the chaos, and heard him shout a few words. Huai Shutun met for the second time, but he was far away, and he didn't see his face clearly. At this moment, I saw that this iron-headed Jiao was about thirty years old, fair and delicate, and there was no evil appearance at all. is only thin, smart, with a pair of eyes and bones, not very peaceful. When Hongli saw that he was moving, he asked abruptly:

"I heard you're a flower thief, right?"

Tietou Jiao propped up his hands, stared at Wu Blind, and said, "Lord Wang, don't listen to others put me in bad water." The children's skills I practiced were only ...... this time Broken vows. The iron sign hanging in front of the old Duanmu's house, 'Flower thieves have entered but not exited'! I want to pick flowers, dare to come to the door every year to pay respects? These two girls, it's Li called Hanako—no, Li Zhitai gave me ......"

"Why are you called 'Iron Head Jiao', is your head extra strong?"

"The villain's original name was Fan Jiangchun, and he made a living in the water. Some people on the rivers and lakes hurt me and called me 'Panjiang worm'. I was disgusted with it, and once I begged in the water to exchange a boatload of porcelain, and the brothers did not sink it with a chisel, so I dived over and made a big hole in the bottom of the boat, and since then I have this name. ”

These two questions and answers have nothing to do with Hongli's desire to know the master who hunted him down. Everyone was puzzled when they heard it, and when they were stunned, Hongli sighed and said: "There are all capable people and heroes on the rivers and lakes, but it's a pity that I went to the underworld with a thought." As a thief, you can take care of other people's women's names, which can be said to be unconscionable. You admit it, who is the mastermind of the intention, and who is the collusion of the rivers and lakes to take my life? This king cherishes talents, and you have to return your background. ”

"Xie Wang Ye Chaosheng," Tietou Jiao kowtowed again and again, and said, "I really don't know who is responsible for this." It turned out that the Yellow Water Monster was in charge of the contact, saying that there was a third prince in Beijing who wanted to take the life of an enemy. The silver came out to 300,000 yuan, and he said that if he did it in the Yellow River, he would give me 100,000 yuan. I thought of this set of wealth, and from then on I washed my hands, so I agreed. The master of the palace had met three or four times, sometimes his surname was Jiao, sometimes his surname was Wang, and later he said that his surname was Xie. When the Yellow Water Monster failed, Master Xie rode a fast horse to see me, and asked me to invite the Shandong heroes to intercept the land, and gave me 200,000 taels of gold and 50,000 silver tickets, saying that if I intercepted this vote, I would give 250,000 and 300,000 could also be discussed. As a result, I met with the gentlemen in Huaishutun...... After the defeat, Master Li chased after me, and I fled to Beijing. I went to Prince Cheng's Mansion first and said that there was no such person. Later, I went to Sambele House, and the man at the door said that the surname Xie died. Later, Master Kuang came again, and said that Master Xie was not dead, so he asked me to enter the house. I saw that he had bad intentions, and took advantage of the small relief to dive out of the garden pavilion and escape...... To tell the truth, this is the situation of the festival, and the villain no longer dares to deceive at all. ”

Hongli listened to it with a heart-shaking heart, and his eyes were in a daze. Although he had already vaguely felt that this "third brother" was the source of strange things around him in the past few years, once it was confirmed, he was still deeply shocked; actually invested hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to buy the underworld characters in the rivers and lakes, chased hundreds of miles, and struggled for his life! Thinking of Hongshi's polite appearance, with a trance-like and unfathomable smile, Hongli couldn't help but shudder...... What is it like now? It is categorically impossible to continue to pretend to be vague and "with the light and dust", but if this matter is to be exposed, it will immediately cause a sensation in the government and the opposition: the aftermath of the "Eight Masters Party" of the older generation is still there, the "party formation case" of Li Fu and Xie Jishi is in the ascendant, the Zeng Jing case is still being tried, and it is suddenly another appalling big case of "three masters plotting for a concubine", and the situation in the court, which has always been turbulent, will not settle down until one day. But if you forbear and don't give in, it is related to your own future, your life, once Hongshi has your ambition, a hundred years after Yongzheng, it is also a delusion that you want to be an Anle Gong like Hongday. He gritted his teeth and thought about it, he had already made up his mind, and sneered: "I have let him many times, killing people is forgivable, and it is unreasonable to tolerate - with this brother with a tiger and wolf heart, he is a king and a minister, and he is not at peace." He looked at Wu Blind and Iron Jiao with a cruel smile and ordered, "Get up." Having said it thoroughly, we can turn hostility into friendship. If you don't get rid of the troubles, I will lift you up, and I won't be able to stop others from rectifying you, so you have to think about this reason! ”

"Fourth Master, I understand what you mean." Wu Blind said, "The rivers and lakes are fighting for a hall master, and they are all drugged to knock over a pot of soup!" Not to mention this big world of flowers? Whatever you command, just say it! "It's not entirely my business, and it has a lot to do with you." Hongli's eyes flickered faintly: "If you don't get that Master Kuang now, you can't tell you about this matter in Henan, the case in Henan can't be solved, and Li Wei will be hung up one day." This time, I want to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and you will help me, and the matter of capturing Master Kuang will fall on your heads. Wu Blind was stunned for a moment and said, "He wants to hide in the Third Master's Mansion and not go out, and he is afraid that it will be difficult to capture him alive." ”

Hongli smiled and said, "You can only be captured alive." The surname Kuang took this iron-headed Jiao in his hand, and he had to prevent himself from being the second Master Xie to make people lose his mouth, and I concluded that he would rather escape and never dare to stay in the Third Master's Mansion again. I'll give this person to the two of you, and you'll think about it. Tietou Jiao grinned and said, "I know that the surname Kuang has a big sister Li in Nanshi Hutong." Let's cover him there, Zhun Cheng! Wu Blind smiled: "Then let's dig out his nest tonight!" ”

…………

Hongli rested in the study that night, but his heart was surging, and he couldn't sleep all night thinking about it. It's easy to fall asleep in the middle of the night. By the time I woke up, it was already three poles of the sun. He got up with his eyes on, hurriedly asked for green salt to wipe his teeth and rinse his mouth, and said with a smile: "I have never gotten up so late, but fortunately, there is an errand to try and handle the case here." Otherwise, I have already gone over by mistake to ask Huang Ama to say goodbye. As he was talking, Xing Jianmin came in, handed the newspaper of the day to Yan Hong, and said, "Master Li of the Criminal Department is here, can you see it?" Hongli took a piece of dim sum and ate it, and said, "Lao Li is still polite to me, please come in." As he spoke, he read the newspaper, and a few lines of the title came into view:

Yungui General Cai Ling impeached Yang Ming when he privately withheld the salt tax, and asked for permission to check it.

The ministry of Prince Yuan Cheng Yunzhi made a decision, and the will was reconsidered.

The purpose of the request to return to Beijing to recuperate is to instruct the prefect of Zhangjiakou to solicit famous medical diseases on the spot, and the matter of returning to Beijing is not to be discussed. Yu Hongtu asked to clear the old road of the Xingji River, and has summoned 10,000 migrant workers, and asked for the supply of the river industry and silver.

Hongli only looked at the reason for Yang Mingshi's offense, but it was for the opening of Erhai Lake in Yunnan, the private collection of salt taxes, and the reversal of his arguments, but he did not. I didn't have time to sort out my thoughts, Li Tingyi had already come in to say goodbye. Hongli shouted and said with a smile: "The words that the Holy Decree asked Zeng Jing have already been listed one by one, so it's not the same if you ask me?" ”

"I came to see the prince for the sake of trying Zeng Jing's case." Li Tingyi sat upright, looking like an old pedant, and said, "When I go back to the ministry today, I said that I want to make a few people out of Li Fu." I went to Li Zongzhong to supervise and behead, and I came to meet the fourth master. Li Fu is guilty, and he shouldn't be guilty of a capital crime, I want to ask the fourth master to meet Banzai, please Banzai open a glimmer of wisdom, forgive him! "When I said that, my eyes felt red.

Hongli stood up and flipped through the newspaper again, only Wu Ling resigned and returned to his hometown, never using a clause, and there was no will of Li Fu to make a decision, Li Tingyi said on the side: "The will just received proposed that Li Fu will be beheaded outside the gate at noon." Hongli couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, "Launching the noon gate to ask for a cut", it was actually a joke, that is, when the politics of the former Ming Dynasty was in a coma, it was just to take the minister of crime to the court staff room outside the noon gate. How did Yongzheng deal with this? After thinking about it, he said: "I'll go to Changchun Garden, you go to the noon gate to watch Li Fu, and wait for my words before going under the knife." With that, the two hurried out and got on their horses and ran their own ways. Hongli dismounted at the double gate of Changchun Garden and went straight to Ningju. At this time, the sky is full of sunshine, the snow lions and snow piled up everywhere in the garden are like snow Maitreya Buddha white and shining, a tree silver snow hanging branches are staggered, and the thick green evergreen bamboo is hung with crystal dazzling snow, as if it is slowly flowing down. He didn't care about appreciating the people who had things on his mind, so he came to Taningju, and heard that Yongzheng was angry:

"Hongli? Come on in. ”

Hongli stepped into the hall with one foot, because the room was dark, and he saw that Yongzheng was writing on the big case in the main hall after a little calm, and Caixia and Qiao Yindi slowly moved one by one holding the paper. Hongli asked An and didn't get up, and was about to speak, Yongzheng smiled: "I know the purpose of your visit, but it's just to beg for Li Fu Xie Jishi, right?" Hongli was guessed by him, and couldn't help laughing: "Holy Mingjian, why not!" Erchen has already called Li Tingyi to go to the noon gate, waiting for the news of Erchen's request. ”

"Qin Gou'er went to the noon gate, and said the words of Prince Bao, and asked Li Tingyi to go back to the beekeeping road to do a serious errand." Yongzheng wrote, ordered, and said to Hongli: "You are waiting for news here." Hongli said: "Please Ama tell his sons to be a quasi-son, otherwise I will be waiting here, and I will be uncertain." Yongzheng laughed all of a sudden, and said, "It was Lu Shengnan and Huang Zhenguo who were killed." Li Fu and Xie Jishi are guilty, but their sins are not to death. I want them to accompany the Dharma field and collect their hearts of party aid. Hongli, you are also a person who has been born and died several times, you must know that you can't just read books. Learning also comes from experience, so that Li Fu Xie Jishi can see the blood, which is much more useful than asking them to just read the "Four Books"! ”

Hongli's worried heart was put down, no matter what, Li Fu's life was saved first. Yin Fu smiled and said: "Li Fu is pretentious, and this son also knows." He didn't accept gifts from others, and he was annoyed when they left. This is not pure in heart, and he loves names too much. He had the skill of restraint, and the saints made it out for mortals. Restraint is better than no restraint, and it is better to love your name than to be profitable. He is incorruptible, and with this rule, killing him will do more harm than good. Yongzheng nodded and said, "This is almost reasonable, get up." Hongli got up and came closer to see, and saw that Yongzheng Lin wrote a large regular script. It was Sun Jiagan's "three words" that couldn't help but be taken aback, and said in a lost mouth: "Does the emperor want to hang this piece?" ”

"No, I'm just copying it and talking about it." Yongzheng said, "In fact, Tang Taizong also hung up Wei Zheng's "Ten Gradual and Final Sparse", and Sun Jiagan is my Wei Zheng, and there is nothing that cannot be hung up." This morning, the decree has been issued, Sun Jiagan has entered the Wenhua Palace Fellowship, and he has been promoted by two levels—he deserves this recital. While writing, he stopped writing and said: "The difference between Sun Jiagan and Li Fu is that he only has Jun in his heart, not himself." Li Fu is wholeheartedly dedicated to making meritorious contributions to himself, this is the difference! - Do you understand? I was furious that day, and I didn't say anything about 'flesh and blood' for him, but what was difficult was that he dared to speak up and others didn't dare to say it. At that time, I suspected that he was 'stopping donations' to speak for the people who supported the party in the imperial examination, but if you look closely, I don't have this meaning, and I didn't consult with others when I wrote the recitals. The first is the general, and he spits on the face of Jin Wengong, and Wengong wipes his face and admits his mistake, that is a sage! I learned the measure of Jin Wengong! He turned his face to stare at Hongli, "You need to have this measure too, you know?" From now on, you must have the heart of the prince to do things, learn from Sun Jiagan's heart of being a minister, and also learn from me the way of being a king! ”

Hongli never expected that Yongzheng would promise the prince in person, and his heart suddenly jumped and he knelt down on his knees: "The emperor is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the ministers dare not say this!" Even for the sake of the sons, the emperor should not say this at this time, the first emperor established the heir too early, resulting in the brothers fighting, and the aftermath is not exhausted, rather than make people afraid? Yongzheng's spirit looked very tired, but he was very calm, and he sighed and said, "You don't know, last night here was lively all night. Hongday, Fang Bao, Zhang Tingyu, and Ortai only withdrew in the morning, and Tu Lichen had already been ordered to secretly take Hongshi. At this moment, Zhu Shi and Sun Jiagan are picking up the thief's nest of Sanbeile! ”

"Huh!?" Hongli was stunned, he didn't believe his ears, and he couldn't believe that Fang Cai's words came from Yongzheng's mouth, he shook his head like in a dream, and stammered and asked, "Third brother, ——?! ”

At this moment, Gao Wuyong came in with a curtain. Hongli looked at him in shock, his eyes were red and dark, and he obviously didn't sleep all night. Kneeling down and about to speak, Yongzheng asked, "Huang Zhenguo and Lu Shengnan have been disposed of?" ”

"Long live Hui, I've already killed." Gao Wuyong said. Qiao Yindi and Caixia also trembled in their hearts, and their faces immediately turned pale and abnormal. Gao Wuyong had just come down from the court, and he seemed to be a little frightened, and said with a stutter: "Huang Zhenguo said: 'Living up to the country's grace is deserved. Lu Shengnan said: "I can't think of an article that will give you a life." ’”

"What about Li Fu and Xie Jishi?"

"Li Fu is a slave question. The servant asked him, 'Do you know the benefits of Tian Wenjing now?' Gao Wuyong looked at Yongzheng's face and said cautiously, "At that time, Li Fu propped up his arm and said, 'I don't think Tian Wenjing is a good person until I die!'" —Xie Jishi also asked this sentence, he said, 'Tian Wenjing is today's Zhou Xing, Lai Junchen [1]

！ —The minion didn't understand, and he said, 'There's no reason to call you this...... Kill to understand'! And the minions came back to their lives. ”

Yongzheng looked at the dazzling garden with sadness and joy on his face, as if he was about to get rid of the depression in his chest, let out a long sigh, and said: "Passing the decree, Li Fuge will go to wear the title, and go to the emperor to compile and repair the "Eight Banners Tongzhi", which will be under the jurisdiction of Fang Bao. Xie Jishi was sent to serve in the Altai army. Hongli said on the side: "Altai is nearly 10,000 miles away from the Central Plains, a wild and barren land, Xie Ji is a weak scholar, and he also begs the emperor to be light." Yongzheng smiled: "It's not as bad as you think." Fupeng, the king of Pingjun, was stationed in Altai, and Fupeng praised Xie for his conduct and knowledge in front of me several times, and he would not suffer any loss. In the provinces of the Central Plains, if you ask him to go, the officials below will try to cater to my intentions, and maybe they will violate him. Or find out if he is not, do you say kill or not? ”

"The Emperor Shengming!" Only then did Hongli realize that Yongzheng's heart was still kind in the final analysis. A full army, there is a lot of knowledge, he is also inspired, but at this moment he is more worried about Hongshi, last night he was still worried about the capture of Kuang Shichen's witness, I didn't expect to wake up, the enemy has been imprisoned, this world is too incredible! Hongli was still thinking about how to bring the topic back to the topic of "prince", and Yongzheng had already spoken: "You don't care about Hongshi's affairs. He will not be handed over to the ministry, and I will deal with it according to family law. From now on, you will have to take charge of the study of the military aircraft department and the second department of the household soldiers, one is to learn government affairs, and the other is to take on some work on my behalf. I've been looking at you for many years, and I have no other orders, just four words in this position: 'Prevent the slightest slightest'. Have you ever heard the story of a farmer going into town? A farmer went into the city in new shoes, and it had just rained, and the mud was not much. He was lazy, thinking that his shoes would not get dirty if he was careful, so he didn't take them off. After walking for a while, the soles of his shoes were dirty, but he was still very careful, carefully picking the dry places and jumping away, and the upper of his shoes was also stained with mud for a while; After walking a little longer, there were more people, splashing each other, and the uppers of their shoes were dirty. He thought again, anyway, it was already dirty, and he didn't take the road, and he didn't avoid the sewage puddles, and when he didn't reach the city gate, his new shoes were already soaked, and they were like mud. Wasn't Hiroshi wearing 'new shoes'? He didn't know these four words, and he made himself a ghost and a ghost. I'm sad to see him come to this point! As he spoke, he burst into tears. Yin Di hurriedly brought the towel over and persuaded: "Long live, from midnight to now, I have been sad and tearful when I talk about it." The third master is not good, he has already won it, and you can't be angry and sad for this kind of person. ”

Yongzheng wiped his face, tears were still pouring out, and he choked up and said: "My heirs are far inferior to the Holy Ancestor, there are thirty-five of my brothers, twenty-four of the preface teeth, and twenty-two of the living ones. What about the son? Only three out of ten survived, and Hiroshi became a beast that was not as good as a pig or a dog! Oh, my God...... Is I guilty of evil in the past life, or is it cool in this life, so that I can't live a comfortable day ......" He lay on the dragon case, his whole body was convulsing and trembling violently, tears welled up, and Sun Jiagan's manuscript and papermaking were all wet. The palace maids in the hall have never seen Yongzheng laughing and scolding, or being mean and sarcastic, or talking, or irritable, or warm and pleasant, no one has ever seen this stubborn and strong emperor so sad and crying. Hongli Gao Wuyong and Yindi helped him to Dongnuan Pavilion, and said comforting words like a child, Yongzheng was about to be extremely tired, and fell asleep with tears in his eyes.

Hongli bowed silently to Yongzheng, who was asleep, and exited the hall to Yunsongxuan. This place is already crowded with officials of all sizes waiting to see Hongshi, and they don't know that Hongshi has had an accident, seeing Hongli come in, they all stood up and gave way, and some people still whispered, since the fourth master is here, the third master should also come. Suddenly, the inner mantle moved, Zhang Tingyu flashed out, bowed to Hongli, and turned his face to everyone: "Everyone, the third elder brother Hongshi is in poor health, the emperor has a decree, and the fourth master also came back to do business, and he is also in charge of the study of the military aircraft department and the household department of the military department, and approves the imperial fold on behalf of the emperor." I would like to give an explanation here, and if you can do anything that can be done by the military aircraft department of the ministry, do not give special approval here. We can't be the master, so naturally we have to ask Prince Shibao. From today onwards, the Military Aircraft Department and the Sixth Department will send officials from Zhangjing to contact each other at any time. Big and small things come here to stir up the fourth master, I know it's not to follow, but understand? ”

"Understood!"

The horseshoe sleeves of the officials made a mountain sound, kowtowed to Hongli, and bowed to him. At this moment, Hongli has already tasted the taste of "prince", whether it is in charge of Yun Songxuan or in charge of ministry affairs, being a brother just can't compare. Just as he was about to turn around to speak, an official stopped his footsteps, held the post in his hand and said, "Fourth master, please see Chen Shiqi if you have something." Hongli saw that Zhang Tingyu was unhappy, and said with a smile: "This is what I recognized in Jiangning, and I will cry for a while, I don't believe you." As soon as he let his hand go, he invited Zhang Tingyu to sit down, and asked Chen Shiqi: "When did you arrive in Beijing?" I am the one who recommended you to help with river affairs on the river workers, and the money and goods of the migrant workers are under your control, so you must take care of them carefully. I can trust your character, don't let the subordinates fool you. ”

"Yes! Fourth Master. Chen Shiqi said respectfully, "I am a scholar in the world, I don't know how to do the troubles of the world, and I don't dare to use those old river workers." I want to ask the fourth master to allocate a few accounting experts from the household department. makes his own family members, and he is afraid that they will use their power to do their power and blessings, and if they don't talk about their bad reputation, they won't be able to do the affairs of the court. Zhang Tingyu originally hated Chen Shiqian for stirring up the conversation at this time, and after listening to it, he felt that this person had a good heart, so he smiled and said: "This is a serious idea, the Military Aircraft Department originally selected people from the household department to take stock of several officials of the Aqinaseth black family, I think it is quite capable, and it will be allocated to you." Chen Shiqi was so happy that he stood up and thanked: "I'm relieved, I'm really worried, I don't know how to do this general work, and if I mess up the mission, the fourth master won't say it, and I have nowhere to ......put my face" He sighed again and said: "I see that those migrant workers are really pitiful, they go down to the river to dig up mud, sometimes the roots of their legs go into the water, and there are fine blood holes on one leg." Yesterday I had a few more in my shed...... An old river worker said, 'In the previous Kangxi period, at this time, there was mutton soup to drink, hot and sour soup and rice wine, and hot soup, so that it would not hurt the body when entering the water. "I want to ask the fourth master to be merciful, take pity on these laborers, allocate some silver to set up a few soup and wine sheds on the construction site, and the court will pay a few, which is also ......limited," he said, wiping his tears with his sleeve.

Hongli said with a smile: "Hengchen Xianggong, you see, I know that this Chen Shiqi is going to cry for the people." Okay, don't be sad, add two catties of rice wine money to each migrant worker to the river workers every day, until the Qingming Festival in March. You'll set up the soup shed, okay? Chen Shiqi thanked him again and again and withdrew. Hongli thought of Hongshi, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and asked, "Hengchen, what's the matter with the third brother?" ”

"It was raised by the Thirteenth Master when he was dying, and the emperor didn't say anything, only that the Thirteenth Master was still holding three fingers until he died." Zhang Tingyu said, "These days, Fang Bao has been doing this alone, last night called Hong Day, the two of them talked secretly for half an hour, called me in, legend has it that Hong Shi Zhen law killed his father and brother, and even the monk who died on the day of the Queen Mother's life was also found out, it was the Mongolian Yellow Sect's Bahan Gelong Lama. Fourth Master, you know that I don't believe in these, but then Tu Lichen copied Hongshi's house overnight, copied out a lot of magic objects**, and a few volumes of evil scriptures, all of which were made by the White Lotus Sect. In the house, he also took a master surnamed Kuang, and copied a few letters from him to the bandits on the rivers and lakes, with ambiguous words, and a few whips were also recruited, saying that he had set up an ambush in Hunan to murder the fourth master. The emperor fainted at that time...... The matter just opened like this, and the east window incident was out of control. A few of us also discussed the matter of Long Live going out to patrol the river at that time, and Long Keduo led troops into Changchun Garden without authorization, and no one slept all night...... "He sighed and didn't speak again, in fact, his younger brother Zhang Tinglu was killed for bribery, Hongshi asked for help in advance, and afterwards he fell into the well and saw that he was not saved, and he vomited last night. But at this moment, I felt that I had done too much, and I felt a little remorseful in my heart, so I didn't repeat it to Hongli anymore. Hongli heard the faint glow in his eyes and asked, "The emperor didn't say what to do?" Zhang Tingyu shook his head slightly and said: "The emperor's tone was very light in the end, and he said that he would copy Sun Jiagan's recital and calm down, and we would withdraw." Fourth master, you know, the weaker the emperor, the more his temper will ......" The following words were difficult to speak, so he stopped.

"I didn't expect the third brother to be so unpopular!" The anger in Hongli's eyes flickered, but his tone quickly turned unusually soft, "At this time, there is a fire in the emperor's heart, it is best for us not to speak at this time, and it will be better to wait for things to cool down, and then talk calmly." ”

Zhang Tingyu didn't say anything, of course he understood Hongli's words, and he agreed: Don't save this Hongshi.
