On the Yanzhou Uncle's Mansion, Pan's happy hand held a pair of foreheads and said: "Uncle, take a look, the queen's reward is really not a fool, you see, this ruby, there are no four or five hundred taels of silver on the market that can't buy it!" ”

"Mother, this is a reward in the palace, how can this be valued! Otherwise, you'll give it to your daughter-in-law! Pan's youngest son, Yu Ling, smiled and looked at the forehead wipe on his mother's hand.

"What are you doing here? Get out! Yu Ji looked at the mother and son in front of him and became angry.

After Pan and the youngest son left, only the eldest son Yu Hong was left in the hall, and he saw his father frowning so he whispered: "Father, even if this matter is displeased, but it is over, the emperor let the queen reward her mother, this has already made it clear that more is better than less!" ”

Yu Ji sighed and said: "I don't know, but after all, it made Your Majesty unhappy, our Yu family is not the founding hero, Wu Zongchao was crowned uncle, if you provoke Your Majesty, isn't our little earl just casually being masturbed?" ”

Yu Hong nodded: "Then you said, does Your Majesty have any deep meaning in rewarding us?" ”

Yu Ji really didn't expect this: "Deep meaning? ”

"Father, what do you think, the emperor gave us a gift, do we have to pay attention to a return gift?"

Yu Ji looked at his son in amazement: "You mean, Your Majesty wants our family to pay for the construction of the house burned down by the former military governor's mansion?" ”

Yu Hong nodded, he looked outside, and then said in a low voice: "Our majesty is notoriously stingy, this governor's mansion is burned, and the Ministry of Industry wants to ask for silver from the Ministry of Households!" The household is poor and crazy, where does the money come from? When the time comes, you will definitely have to play the abacus of the inner library! ”

"Let's give the money to Your Majesty now, of course Your Majesty will be happy?"

Yu Ji nodded when he heard this: "As soon as Your Majesty is happy, then we will be fine!" ”

Yu Hong frowned and said, "Dad, this is too ruthless, he burned the Governor's Mansion, and that person sent someone to kill Xu He?" Isn't that redundant? ”

"It wasn't that guy who did it, if he did, he would have told me in advance!"

"Not that person?" Yu Hong was surprised, "Is there anyone else in this capital who wants Xu He's life?" ”

"Of course there is, he ascended to a high position at a young age, and I don't know how many people are red behind him! However, this time he was thankless and rejected by His Majesty, and that was also his own fault! ”

"That's it, to be an official, you still have to be with the light and dust to last a long time!"

……

The hemp paper alley is in the southeast corner of the outer city, and this place is generally crowded with small officials living in Beijing.

There are more than a dozen alleys around, although the environment is much better than that of Luocheng, but it is also slightly shabby.

When Xu He stood in front of the gate of Wang's house, he turned his head to look at Zhang He incredulously: "This is Wang Xuedao's home?" ”

Zhang Yi nodded.

It turned out that although most of the people living in this hemp paper alley were poor Beijing officials, the houses were quite neat and elegant.

The Wang family, on the other hand, is dilapidated and looks out of place in the entire alley.

From this moment on, the appearance of Wang Xuedao in Xu He's heart seemed to be a little blurred again, is this still the little Qipin who participated in the corruption and bending the law?

This is, Zhang He stepped forward and knocked on the door.

It took a while for the door to open, and I saw an old family member dressed in plain clothes, looking at Xu He with cloudy eyes and saying, "I don't know what ...... is the honorable driver?" ”

Zhang He hurriedly said: "My family is a colleague of Wang Dushi, and when I heard the bad news, I came here to pay respects!" ”

The old family looked at Xu He again in surprise: "The old man finally made a conscientious colleague before his death!" Everyone, please come in! ”

As soon as Xu He walked into the courtyard, he saw that the mourning hall was set up in front of him, and the sons of the Wang family were kneeling on the east side in front of the hall, and behind him sat a haggard woman, who was obviously Wang Xuedao's wife.

Xu He stepped forward, took the three sticks of incense handed over by Zhang He from the side, bowed and inserted them in the incense burner.

The men of the Wang family hurriedly kowtowed in return.

After a set of ceremonies, the eldest son of the Wang family got up and said: "I don't know the name of this adult, if my father knows that the adult came to mourn, Jiuquan must be very pleased!" ”

Zhang He just wanted to speak, but Xu He went straight to the point and said: "I am Xu He, who has experienced the experience of the former Military Governor's Mansion!" ”

As soon as his words fell, the children of the Wang family kneeling in the hall raised their heads and glared angrily at Xu He.

The eldest son of the Wang family was shocked and said, "You, you are that Xu He!" It's you who killed my father, you get out, you get out of me, you don't allow you to appear here. ”

The old man who had just opened the door also rushed over angrily at this moment, holding a flat pole that he used to buy vegetables on the street on weekdays.

Seeing this, Zhang He, Ding Ze and others hurriedly protected Xu He.

But Xu He lined up the crowd: "This little brother, you said that I killed your father, where did you start?" ”

"Did you ever ask someone to beat my father?" The prince of the royal family looked at Xu He and glared angrily.

Xu He nodded: "This official wants to keep a file in the past years of the experience department's visit, but your father, as the person in charge of this matter, has blocked me in every possible way, and he is not inferior to me, the official, I do that, is there a problem?" ”

Seeing that Xu He actually agreed to this matter with a big face, all the men in the Wang family were furious, and some even wanted to rush out of the hall to beat Xu He.

At this moment, a broken cry came: "Stop! ”

Everyone turned their heads in amazement, only to see the haggard woman looking at Xu He and the others coldly.

She spoke: "Xu Juma, I heard my deceased husband talk about you, you were also a role model for these children in our family, but you acted recklessly, pampered and arrogant, relying on Your Majesty's trust, and bullying your subordinates at will, now that my deceased husband is gone, what do you mean by coming to our royal family?" ”

The words were polite and courteous, and all the Wang family members stared at Xu He to see how he could tell the difference.

Xu He looked at the woman and arched his hand: "This sister-in-law, I heard that you have also read, right?" ”

The woman said, "That's right, I also read the "Women's Training" when I was in the boudoir! ”

Xu He nodded: "Sister-in-law, there is a saying in "Women's Training", the upright bun thinks about the righteousness of his heart, and the sideburns think about the whole of his heart!" ”

"In the presence of your dearest relatives and your husband's spiritual throne, I dare to ask you a word!"

"Do you understand what your husband is doing in the government?"

When the woman heard this, her face turned miserable.

When Xu He saw her expression, he knew that there was a door, so he continued: "With all due respect, there are some things in the royal capital, which are aiding and abetting, maybe you in Beijing don't understand the difficulties of the Huguang army and the people!" But you should also have heard that the thieves are now wreaking havoc in Huguang, if this goes on for a long time, the country will not be a country, and the home will not be a home! ”

"Although Wang Dushi is not the mastermind, he has also become a sinner of the Great Wei Dynasty!"

"I'll punish him to save him!"

"Nonsense!" The prince glared at Xu He angrily and said, "Don't think we don't know, my father was forced to death by you!" You forced my father to death, and you still spoke cleverly in front of my father's spirit, do you really think that my Wang family has no bloody men? ”
