Cen Yu's always calm face finally appeared momentarily stunned, "...... Are you sure it's Qiao Yushi? ”

He naturally knew that the relationship between his family and the Qiao family was not harmonious, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate had not been less than a few bullets in the past to impeach Jiang Taifu and his party.

Mrs. Jiang is the father of his mother Jiang, but now he has returned to Danzhou to retire.

Jiang Taifu has many disciples, and his in-laws have accumulated over the generations, although the relationship is a little weaker with his grandfather's Zhishi, but his son is angry, and now the Ministry of Rites is also a former disciple, and his son-in-law has also become a servant of the Ministry of Officials.

Cen Yu put down the notebook in his hand, and couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

Qiao Jiali taught Senran, Qiao Si girl can say these words, and the rumors are not all true, at least Qiao Lang is not rigid.

"The palace let you look at the exchanges between Qiao's Mansion and other mansions, why are you still eyeing the affairs of the back house?" Cen Yu said helplessly.

In the early years of His Majesty's accession to the throne, the Investigation Institute was ordered to inspect and arrest important officials of the imperial court, and used many dishonorable means to achieve the goal.

If you do too many evil things, you will inevitably suffer retribution.

Feng Shui takes turns, and after Daye turns to benevolent government, the Investigation Institute is not as important as it used to be in His Majesty's heart. The civil officials complained about them even more, and they were eager to get rid of them as soon as possible.

Yao Xiang has made several statements in the palace, requesting that the investigation court be abolished and the Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate be delegated.

It's just that he was persuaded by the rules of the middle palace.

Cen Yu's afterglow swept over someone: "Eavesdropping on the corner of the imperial historian's house, if the news is known to Yao Xiang, there will be a few impeachment excerpts to be presented to the emperor, and I still have to write to express my feelings." ”

The man wanted to say that now as a courtier, whoever doesn't carry a few impeachment folds on him is embarrassed to say that he is a Beijing official, but when he heard Cen Yu's tone, he quickly smiled: "I didn't want to explore such internal affairs, but Miss Qiao didn't shy away from people when she first said it, which made the whistle aware of it." ”

Cen Yu's gaze stared at his face for a long time: "Everyone has been removed from the back house, and today's news has been swallowed in the stomach, if the middle palace asks, you say that Miss Qiao Si likes me, don't mention the reason behind it." ”

There are people with the queen in the investigation court, and the news may not be hidden.

But those who go to Qiao's Mansion are all his henchmen, and they will not expose the news.

More is better than less, staring at the Cen family too much, he doesn't want to make any trouble.

"But look at Miss Qiao Si, she is a bold and capable person, and it is not impossible to be the housewife of Cen Mansion." The man smiled.

The Cen family is harmonious on the surface, but it is dark on the inside, and the housewife and the old lady keep making trouble, otherwise Cen Yu would not have moved out of the house and only lived in the investigation yard.

The man knocked on the side: "Miss Qiao Si is transparent, and she wants to deal with all kinds of soft nails and hard stubble." ”

Cen Yu looked up helplessly: "...... I see that you are really idle when you come back from Luoyang, and you are still in the mood to take care of the affairs of the Cen family. ”

The man was scolded by Cen Yu, but he was quite happy, and immediately left with a smile.

In fact, Miss Qiao's momentum of breaking off love is really suitable for Cen Mansion.

The strength of "you are strong, you are strong, the breeze blows the hills", no matter which careful person comes, it is not to clean up one by one, and to clean up a pair of two.

He felt a slight regret in his heart.

……

After a few days, there was no major news in Beijing, only heard that Wen Yuanbo was sent to prison in the investigation institute, and after several heavy sentences, he was no longer human, and spit out a lot of things.

A line of confessions with bloody fingerprints was presented to the Imperial Palace.

The emperor sat on the couch and stared at a piece of testimony for a long time, and the sandalwood square table on the side was piled up with a lot of freshly assembled folds, all of which were said to be the white slip handed by the Empress a few days ago.

The emperor watched it several times, but all of them were left behind.

There's no reason for that.

He is the emperor, and the entire Daye is his, what else can he do to harm the ancestral foundation?

These old ministers are too corrupt.

The emperor's tone couldn't hear joy and anger, and he was heavy: "That's what Uncle Wen Yuan and that little father-in-law said?" ”

According to the confession, Wen Yuanbo intended to bribe the East Palace, contributing ten treasures, a Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, a number of gold, silver and jewelry, and 3,700 taels of silver.

It's just that these things were not directly handed over to the prince, but were transferred by a personal father-in-law.

Cen Yu: "After Uncle Wen Yuan confessed, the minister detained his father-in-law for arraignment, and the other party changed his words several times, and finally under the torture, he said that he was deceiving his superiors and subordinates, and the prince did not know. ”

At this time, his face did not change, respectful and humble.

The emperor was silent, and said for a long time, "Then the cane will be killed, and the execution will be carried out in the open space outside the Qianqing Gate, so that the courtiers will watch, and the prince will also come to see." ”

Cen Yu should be.

"I am grateful for the loyalty and filial piety of the ancestors of the Yan family to Daye, and I will not punish him, but only exile Yan Zhishou and go-" The emperor stretched out his finger and said in a deep voice: "...... Qiongzhou. ”

"Yan Zhou is the queen's cousin's sister, I don't want to be harsh, if she wants, she will go to practice."

"His two unfortunate sons heard that there are still pickled things on the side, you can deal with it yourself, whether you are dead or alive, you don't need to inform me."

The monarch and the ministers talked a little, and the emperor was a little tired, and called out to the inner supervisor who was waiting for the pen and ink, "Let the prince come after noon." ”

Let's look at Cen Yu again.

The light came from the window and fell on the bridge of the nose and eyelashes of the young man opposite, making the whole person's complexion pale as if blurred by ink lines, leaving only the color of light and shadow.

After months of tiring travel, he was able to clear up a lot.

The emperor sighed deeply: "An errand trip in Luoyang has made you lose a lot of weight." ”

He laughed at himself in a self-deprecating tone: "I also said that I would let the imperial doctor show you, and I was troubled by the prince's affairs, and I forgot about it, the older I get, the more useless I become." ”

"Jiaodong has recently offered a few high-quality old ginseng, and I will send someone to send it later, and after you are busy with the Yan family, you can rest more."

Emperor Liucen Yu had lunch in Xinuan Pavilion, and only let people go back when the prince was waiting outside.

Cen Yu met the prince when he went out.

The crown prince was only one year older than him, just twenty years old, handsome, thin, born very much like the emperor when he was young, but his heart was melancholy, he was restless for days, and his face was full of sickness, and his eyes were dark.

Seeing a sound at the door, the prince hurriedly raised his head, and when he saw Cen Yu, he wanted to step forward, but he stopped talking several times.

Cen Yu shook his head imperceptibly, and said loudly: "Your Majesty is waiting for Your Highness." ”

When the prince saw his expression, his heart froze.

……

Joe's House Gardens.

Mama Fang whispered back and told the news she had inquired about in recent days.

People love to listen to the excitement, especially gossip.

The investigation institute was frightened, and it did not delay the private discussion on the streets.

"There are all men in the investigation courtyard, only the grand duke from the palace is not, so the relationship between the grand duke and the courtyard is extremely delicate."

said that they were all men, Qiao Zhaoyi and Qiao Zhaolan thought they were talking about the distinction between men and women, but they didn't expect to be followed by a father-in-law from the palace.

The subtle differences are naturally extra attention-grabbing.

Qiao Zhaolan's face was slightly embarrassed, but her ears were not lowered.

Qiao Zhaoyi's face was as usual, and he thought in his heart, Xiao Deng's father-in-law was born beautiful, why can't he eat it in the men's pile, what if people are withdrawn and disdain to be in the company of others.

"If you want to say who this grand duke hates the most, it should be Lord Cen of the same level, because this person is proud of his beauty, and Lord Cen is more handsome than him!"

Deng Yi is such an extravagant character, most of the rumors in the market are processed with three points of information that can be glimpsed, and Mama Fang doesn't know how many hands she heard, and she doesn't even know Deng Yi's surname, she only knows that she lives beautifully.

As for what Cen Yu looks like, Qiao Zhaoyi hasn't seen it yet.

But the white moonlight of a noble girl from a high family is always not bad, to say the least, it is similar to Deng Yi.

Qiao Zhaoyi listened with relish, in recent days, there has been an endless stream of people proposing relatives at home, Qiao Zhaoyi occasionally went behind the screen to take a few looks, and found that it was not as good as the one she wanted, so she stopped her interest and listened to Mama Fang's gossip instead.

"The pretty official uniform is black, Lord Cen likes to be white, like a funeral, every time the two of them appear, they are like the impermanent lord of the underworld, if ordinary people don't avoid it, they will have to rush to the evil spirit, and they will not be able to live in peace for three or four days in a row."

“…… From time to time, the two of them had disputes about working together, and even to the point of being so bad, they had to use their fists and feet, just that you pestered me, and I pestered you, until Lord Cen had a sudden illness, vomited blood in his mouth, and his lips were like cherries and new red, which caused the already bewildering skin to be even more gorgeous and abnormal, making Her Royal Highness the princess who left the palace feel dark——"

Mama Fang suddenly got stuck and got up from the stone bench with a handkerchief.

When I first came here, I heard Lin in the corner: "......"

"Mama Fang!" Lin was annoyed, "You can learn anything!" ”
