Lu Kui came to the Hou Mansion, Hou Sui happened to be at home, although the two families have less contact now, but the past love is still there, so they met Lu Kui very warmly.

"Lord Shangshu has a lot of opportunities, so I'm disturbed."

"What are you talking about, our two families used to move around a lot, and the feelings were there, and Brother Lu had something to say."

"Since the adults have spoken, then I will not be hypocritical."

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"I don't know, adults know about this Shuntian Money Village."

"Of course you know, what, are you going to borrow silver taels? How much? Need me to come forward? ”

"My lord misunderstood, it was my future uncle, who was young and vigorous, offended the chief manager there, and is now locked up in the Nanjing governor's prison."

"Oh-" Hearing this, Hou Sui thought thoughtfully, this Wang Chengen is not a good talker, but he is not a bully, how could he do such a faceless thing.

"I don't know why your son-in-law offended the king?"

"Your Excellency knows Mr. Wang?"

"Very familiar." Back then, Wang Chengen coerced the Son of Heaven to order a major rectification in Nanjing, and which official did not live in front of him several times.

"Then I've found the right person, alas! It's all my son-in-law who is not angry, he insisted on borrowing money from Shuntian Money Village for a hundred years, but Qian Zhuang didn't have this business, and he didn't follow it, so he was sued by Qian Zhuang for nuisance and blackmail. ”

Hearing him say this, Hou Sui's eyelids jumped, Lu Kui didn't know that the boss behind the money village was the emperor, he knew, didn't this Ma Wangye's head break the ground, looking for death, what is death, he has seen it today, and he has really lived for a long time.

"Ahem-Brother Lu, it's really a noble son-in-law."

"Who's to say it isn't."

"If you want to say that this is not a big crime, the government will generally educate you and it will be over, so that the punishment will not be too severe."

"So this is where people can't touch the end, and what's even stranger is that the Metropolitan Procuratorate has now begun to investigate my in-laws."

"Why is that?"

"I don't know the specifics, but I just said that the king was in charge."

"Impossible, even if he uses all his means, without evidence, he will not dare to meddle in the investigation of officials casually, there should be other things."

"I don't know about that."

Hou Sui thought to himself for a while and said, "Brother Lu, what do you think of this, you go back first, and then I'll call you back when I ask me about the matter, what do you think?"

"Yes, yes—that's exactly how it should be."

When Lu Kui returned home, Mrs. Lu looked at him with a deep face and asked, "What?" Master, isn't Lord Hou willing to help? ”

"That's not true, Lord Hou is a nostalgic person and very enthusiastic, but this matter seems to be a little troublesome."

"Oh? Why? ”

"According to Lord Hou, he is very familiar with the chief manager of the king, and he also said that the chief manager of the king is a person with a lot of hands, and he should not meddle in the affairs of officials casually, and it is very strange for the Metropolitan Procuratorate to investigate the corruption of his in-laws, so he also has to ask and then give a reply."

"Lord Hou is now one of the three scholars, a very popular minister, and there are still things that he is embarrassed about?"

"Madam, don't say that, the more things go up, the wider the involvement, this is not something we can imagine, let's wait for the news, in-laws, you send someone to a letter, so as not to be suspicious, Juan'er?"

"I'm angry in the house."

"You should enlighten and enlighten more, my in-laws are really a little anxious today."

"Okay."

On the other side, after Lu Kui left, Hou Sui came to Shuntian Qianzhuang in light clothes, and Wang Chengen heard that Hou Sui was coming, so he went out to greet him in person.

"I said why did the magpie keep barking at the door this morning, it turned out that there was going to be a noble person coming to the door, welcome! Welcome! ”

"You're really, you've changed your personality in a different place?"

"Hou Gong smiled, please inside, please inside."

Hou Sui followed Wang Chengen to the private room inside.

"Hou Gong, are you here today to take a loan?"

Hou Sui was speechless, I have to say, this guy is really talented, what is he like: "Although I can't catch up with you, it's still no problem to support my family, besides, I'm afraid that you will give me the whole corruption."

"Haha! Hou Gong said with a smile, your name is known all over the court, who dares to slander Hou Gong, I will be the first to disagree. ”

"It's really weird, when will you be able to investigate corruption?"

"Eh-Hou Gong, please speak clearly." This is not a joke, it involves principles, and it also touches the red line drawn by the emperor, so it must be made clear.

"What are you nervous about, I don't understand you yet, you are meticulous in matters of principle, and never overstep."

Hou Gongjian smiled.

"I just want to ask Wei Dayong what's going on."

"Wei Dayong? - Who is it? "Looking at his expression, it doesn't seem to be a lie, but also, with Wang Chengen's power, he can't be embarrassed as a small official.

"It was yesterday, the father of a young man who was making trouble here."

"Oh oh, you said he, he made trouble here, and insisted that we give him a loan for a hundred years, we don't have this business, let him go, no matter, we can only send him to the official, what? He is your relative, so you have to find the governor of Nanjing, Yamen, but for your sake, we can withdraw the lawsuit. ”

"This is a trivial matter, young people are not sensible, so they should be educated. It is the Metropolitan Procuratorate that is investigating his father's corruption, but there is evidence. ”

"It's been a long time, you say this, this is the Wei Gongzi's father, in front of so many officials, saying that his family is colluded with many businessmen, you know, the emperor had a clear rule when he was in Nanjing's big rectification, officials are not allowed to do business, and family members are not allowed.

"Okay - okay - you know the law of Da Ming, you know it well, I'm not a fool, take my leave."

"Hey-you're turning your face and don't recognize people, kindly remind me if you want to."

Seeing Wang Chengen's cheap face, Hou Sui became angry, but this guy's news has always been more proficient than himself, so he has to listen to it.

"I think that Wei Gongzi's fiancée doesn't seem to be very interested in him, one is a lady, and the other is a scoundrel, this is not the key, the key is that his fiancée knows the emperor, not with the emperor, but also with the queen and the concubine, his fiancée can find here, or the second saint allows, you also know, now the emperor has no heirs, so you know."

"I know a fart, your intentions have been distorted by you, farewell! - "As a veteran of officialdom, Hou Sui doesn't know what to do, this is a jealous play, but as long as the ins and outs of the matter are clear, the emperor's private affairs are not something he can interfere with, and besides, listening to Wang Chengen's meaning, this is still a shadowless matter."

Wang Chengen was happy to send Hou Sui out of the door.
