Of course, Guo Heng knew what he was waiting for, and he had already said so much before, that is, if Guo Heng wanted to understand the meaning and want to live together peacefully, he would raise his hand and let Li Lingyue go.

It's really leaky everywhere, and people can't hold a little solution.

But this matter is not something he can decide, he asked Shen Hong to go home and talk about it tomorrow, Shen Hong left like this, naturally knowing that this matter is not completely decided by him.

Seeing Shen Hong away, Guo Heng took out a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and instructed the attendants beside him: "Prepare the carriage." ”

"Yes."

Guo Heng got into the carriage and went straight to the Hubu Shangshu Mansion, but when he arrived at the Mansion, the Hubu Shangshu was not in the Mansion, so he waited for a while before Shi Shiran returned from the Hubu Shangshu.

Tobe Shangshu is a middle-aged man who is a little thin, but he is quite tall, looks very upright, has a little beard hanging down in front of his neck, often smiles, looks like he is full of poetry and books, and has a good temper.

Guo Heng walked up: "My lord, it's not good. ”

Tobe Shangshu frowned: "What can be wrong?" "Apparently he was unlucky.

"My lord, Shen Hong has found me."

"Shen Hong? He still couldn't sit still, why, did he want to beg them to let Li Lingyue go? He was bold enough to work so hard for a fellow countryman. ”

Guo Heng shook his head: "No, my lord." He lowered his voice and roughly repeated what Shen Hong said to him, and the more he listened to it, the more ugly his face became, and when he heard it, the smile on his face had completely disappeared, and he had a cold face.

When he is not smiling, he looks particularly scary, especially when he is not covered by a smile, and his eyes are even more cold.

Tobe Shangshu didn't speak, but walked briskly inside, and the two of them arrived indoors before they began a formal conversation.

"Shen Hong really said that?"

"Yes, the subordinates did not say a word."

"Okay, he is much tougher than I thought, no wonder the emperor took a fancy to him at a glance, and the prince also relied on him so much, it is indeed a personal character." Skill, means, style, none of them have been left behind, and he is indeed a difficult person to deal with.

"My lord, what are we going to do? He's really not an easy guy to deal with. ”

Hubu Shangshu picked up the teacup, skimmed off the foam on it, and took a sip of tea: "What to do to deal with him, the prince values him, he wants money and power, he is a man from a poor background, he has not married any family, and he has such a good relationship with the family, if we have to deal with him, we will have to be skinned if he dies, since he has dared to say this, it means that he already has a lot of evidence in his hands." ”

"That'...... Still keep him? ”

"Of course, keep him, since he has only brought out these things now, it means that he doesn't care, what the common people, the people, we don't care, he doesn't care, what he cares about is Li Lingyue, he can't replace Li Lingyue, can he really turn his face and ruin his career for this matter?"

Hubu Shangshu smiled and was complacent: "No, he is gambling, betting that we are afraid, then we will also bet, betting that he will not dare." ”

Guo Heng looked at him cautiously: "So? ”

"It's very simple, tomorrow you don't have to pay attention to him, treat him well, give him enough face, but don't answer any words, he is so smart, what else will he not understand? We are willing to give him three points of thin noodles, but otherwise, it is impossible, a place like Shangjing is not a place where he can get to the bottom after a year or two, thinking that he can do whatever he wants. ”

Guo Heng nodded, anyway, with the above words, he just did it, and there would be no mistake according to the above meaning.

On the second day, Shen Hong had lunch as usual, rested for a short time, and then went to the house of the left servant of the household department, where he was given an excellent reception.

"I knew that Lord Shen was coming today, so I specially prepared some things, so that it wouldn't look too simple like yesterday."

Guo Heng clapped his hands, and the pastries and tea fruits were brought up, and the wine and dishes were sent up.

"Lord Shen, take a sip, this wine is the best daughter red, this kind of wine, our house has only two jars a year, Lord Shen must taste it." Guo Heng held the wine glass in one hand and pointed to the wine with the other, sniffing the aroma of the wine.

Shen Hong looked at Guo Heng and didn't answer, only talking about wine, without mentioning anything else, whether it was taxes, Dali Temple, or the meaning above, as if there was no such thing, no attitude is the clearest attitude, Shen Hong naturally knew what they meant, and put the wine glass on the table.

"The younger generation is shallow, so I won't drink this cup and leave it to the adults."

Guo Heng shook his head: "Hey, Lord Shen, don't say that, I, Guo someone, still don't lack this glass of wine." ”

Shen Hong stood up: "Then the adults drink slowly, and the juniors will leave first." ”

"Lord Shen, don't be in a hurry to leave, sit down for a while."

Guo Heng watched Shen Hong leave, disappeared from sight, and sneered: "Although everyone makes him thin, I think it's better for young people not to be too arrogant, now that we don't let him, what can he do?" Isn't it dry yet? ”

The attendant on the side poured wine: "My lord, that's right." ”

Outside Guo's mansion, Shen Hong stepped into the carriage, and Shanzi looked at him: "My lord, ...... this?" ”

"Nothing."

Now is an eventful time, he doesn't want to make things bigger, and he doesn't want Lingyue's situation to be too difficult, so Lin Piao will only become more and more worried.

But now, they didn't plan to let Ling Yue go, and they also had the intention of competing with him.

Toast without eating and eating penalty wine.

When Shen Hong returned to the house, Lin Piao had been waiting for him early, the matter of the second dog had not been resolved, Lin Piao was always worried, and the family had been hanging in their hearts for a long time, and it was not peaceful for them to organize a meal or send things to Dali Temple Prison, or they were worried about dealing with the matter of the second dog.

Lin Piao waited for him in the courtyard, sat under the eaves to enjoy the shade, and on the table was a pot of tea and a plate of yam cakes.

"How's it going?" Lin Piao looked at Shen Hong.

Shen Hong walked up the steps and said lightly: "It's a little difficult." ”

"Difficult?" Lin Piao didn't know what the problem was, but Shen Hong said that it was difficult, and I am afraid it would be very difficult: "That...... Is there any other way? ”

He knows it's difficult, but as long as there is a way, and there is a way to do things.

"If it's someone else, there's no way, but Lingyue, there's still one, it's just one point, it's too difficult for him to get out, and if he wants to get out, he will have to pay much more than he imagined."

Lin Piao looked at him: "This...... It won't affect you, will it? ”

Shen Hong shook his head: "The person who has to give everything is Lingyue. ”

Lin Piao thought for a while: "If you can get through the current difficulty first, and in the future, no matter how big the difficulty is, as long as you survive, the days will always pass after a long time." ”

Shen Hong nodded: "That's true." ”

"What the hell are you going to ask him to do?"

"The last trick without recruitment will always be, the bottom of the kettle."

Lin Piao felt a little familiar, and it didn't feel like Shen Hong had taken this path for the first time, but this time it was used on Ergou.

"Then you have to discuss it with Ergou first, otherwise he won't be able to catch the matter and will be messed up."

"Naturally, I have already asked Wangshan to go to see him, and there will naturally be results in two days."

Lin Piao heard Shen Hong say this, and knew that it should have been arranged properly, Shen Hong said this, there should be nothing wrong, and the second dog should be decisive and will be able to come out after a while.

Although Lin Piao had no bottom, his unconditional trust in Shen Hong gave him a feeling that the matter could be over.

The two talked together, and Shen Hong said: "Go to the study, it's windy and hot outside. ”

Lin Piao really didn't want to go into the study, but he didn't want his evasion to be seen by Shen Hong, and there was plenty of time for this meeting, and Shen Hong rarely had to stay at home without going out to engage in official documents and team building, which was the longest time the two of them could spend together in a day, and he didn't want this time to be wasted like this.

As soon as Lin Piao walked into the study, he saw the desk and chair sideways, he really couldn't bear to look at it directly, not that he was shy, but the memory of his death suddenly came out and gave him a backstab, feeling that his face was a little hot, and his toes were a little picky.

Lin Piao turned around and took a small chair, dragged it to the side and sat down, Shen Hong watched his movements with a smile and didn't say anything, just sat down behind the desk, and then started chatting.

Lin Piao couldn't help but sigh: "Fortunately, the weather is not bad now, neither cold nor hot, the prison is already cold, and it is just right to offset the heat, otherwise I really don't know how Ergou will live this day." ”

Shen Hong listened, the people in the family were concerned about Lingyue, but now Lin Piao only needs one mouth, and he will inevitably be the second dog, hanging on his mouth all the time, worried in his heart, so that Shen Hong wants to hear something else from his mouth.

"Piao'er, why didn't you wear the hairpin I gave you a few days ago?"

Lin Piao thought for a while, and then remembered what Shen Hong said: "That hosta is so slippery, don't stop your hair, you're afraid that you've been deceived, although it looks good, but you can't sell it so finely polished, otherwise you can't stop it." ”

Shen Hong now gives him gifts, he has no other interests, he loves to give hairpins, Lin Piao thinks he is very sullen, hairpins originally have the meaning of love, one by one to give him hairpins, the meaning is going to be written on his face, and he is always very possessive, every time he wears other hairpins, he has to knock on the side and ask, and he doesn't say much, but that attitude Lin Piao naturally smacked and touched his meaning.

Shen Hong wanted him to wear only the hairpin he gave.

Shen Hong said lightly: "I just saw that the hairpin was good-looking, so I thought about giving it to you, and I will pick another one for you another day." ”

Lin Piao touched the hairpin on his head: "The hairpin you gave is valuable, I'm afraid of knocking, it's not good to always wear it when I go out, this hairpin was given to me by Juan'er and Xiaoyuehe, there are two sets in total, I only wore one today, and I'm going to go to Yuemingfang later." ”

Shen Hong listened to his words, his expression softened a lot, he naturally knew that Lin Piao was coaxing him, he didn't wear his hairpin because he cherished it, and today he wore other hairpins because he was going to Yuemingfang, so he naturally wanted to pin the hairpin given by Juan'er Xiaoyue, although there were many reasons, but he loved to listen.

Lin Piao looked a little better and Shen Hong's expression was a little better, wondering how he could even eat Juan'er Xiaoyue's vinegar, but Shen Hong was a very good type, and he only showed a little possessiveness in this kind of detail.

Shen Hong didn't dwell on the hairpin matter more, and asked, "It's about to be your birthday, what do you want this year?" ”

"I don't know, you arranged it for me, what kind of birthday surprise did you say it yourself."

Shen Hong saw that his words were a little arrogant, and he seemed to be very coquettish, and he was willing to be supported, and said with a smile: "Okay, I will naturally arrange it." ”

It's a pity that when Lin Piao's birthday was celebrated last year, because they no longer went to Beijing, although they also sent some hearts, but after all, they didn't get together lively, and this year's Erzhu couldn't easily come back, but they had to get Lingyue out before their birthday, and one less was just that, and if there were two less, they couldn't see anyone, and they were still locked up in prison.

Lin Piao couldn't help but lie on the table, in fact, there are so many things now, one will worry about this, one will worry about that, he will not be in the mood for his birthday, but think about it, if he is anxious and worried, he will not live a good life, then life is full of worries, nothing else is gone, the days will only be more difficult, quiet in the middle of the noise, find a little stable gathering in the chaos, and it can be regarded as a little fun in their lives.

What's more, there are still some days, Shen Hong is so sure, Ergou should also come out by then, Lin Piao didn't ask Shen Hong who he was looking for, the relationship is so hard, he can say that he can get people out, after all, Shen Hong is a great virtuous minister, this kind of thing is just known, and it is really not something Shen Hong is willing to do after a careful discussion.

Lin Piao waited for news at home, and within two days he received earth-shattering news, and Ergou directly wrote a letter of redress and sent an official to the court and handed it to the emperor.

It just so happened that the emperor was in good spirits that day and also went to court.

When the emperor saw this, he was furious, and threw the letter to his father-in-law beside him on the spot, asking him to read it again.

Then he began to angrily reprimand the ministers: "Listen to what is written on it, is there no news that can reach my ears, you are really good at it!" The corpse is a vegetarian meal, the taxes are excessive, and the courtiers who investigated the matter are unjustly killed in prison with one hand, have you stopped taking me seriously? ”

As far as the emperor is concerned, the emperor hates these behaviors that shake the foundation of the country, and although he himself is also shaking, the emperor's affairs are naturally different from those of his courtiers, and if he needs to do everything well, then what do he need his courtiers to do?

For private reasons, he can finally scold these loyal ministers and virtuous ministers.

The traitorous ministers are easy to deal with, and the ministers can be eradicated, but the most bitter is to lie down and taste the guts, and endure for a while, but if the traitors are loyal, this is the most difficult to deal with, the emperor has never thought about mediating, and has never thought of really dealing with them, because the cost is too high and the income is too low.

But now, the emperor looked at the accusations on the letter, and felt extremely angry and excited.

He has another chance to purge the court, of course he knows that every time he cleanses, for the court, it is a new life, for the power in the hands of an emperor, it is a consolidation, more concentrated, stronger, everything will be like a new life, once again firmly grasped by him, just like when he only ascended the throne many years ago, everything is his layout, everything is only with him as the core.

When Lin Piao heard the news at home, he was simply stunned: "Oh my God, crazy ......."

What is the difference between the second dog and sacrificing oneself to blow up a dung pit?

Lin Piao looked at Shen Hong: "This...... This ......"

This is the road you prepared for Ergou? No wonder Shen Hong said that Ergou had to pay everything if he wanted to get out, it was indeed everything, and there was no shortage of that.

"Piao'er, Lingyue wants to get out, and he still wants to stay in the power center of Shangjing, in a normal way, he can't get out."

Corruption is the problem of the whole six parts, Ergou's previous behavior has offended too many people, and his behavior is not appropriate, making people feel that he is a thorn in the head that is easy to jump, but also regard him as a restless person, want to get rid of it quickly, they have not moved before, that is, they are afraid that His Majesty still remembers this person, and they are also afraid that Ergou has any tricks, thinking about observing and observing first, and now the situation is just right, it is time for a cat to catch a mouse, and to torture him to death and force him to death.

People can't get out, they want to protect Ergou, no matter how much effort they spend, they just let Ergou continue to stay in prison indefinitely, and the people above are watching to see when they will consume energy, when they will give up their illusions and be willing to accept the crushing of reality.

Shen Hong naturally noticed their gaze early, he wanted to avoid this falling boulder, but no one was willing to give some space to dodge, so he could only use this stone as a stepping stone to hand over.

He joined forces with the Wen family, Han Xiu, the Liu family, and the crown prince, and made a statement in this name, promising to take this opportunity to purge all officials who regarded themselves very high and did not want to be attached to them.

And Lingyue is the dagger that was handed over.

He will forge this dagger into a knife.
