Wei Yuan calmly picked up the fold and opened it to read, his pupils shrinking.

He didn't say a word, knelt on the ground and shouted: "The minister deserves to die for his crimes, and he has betrayed His Majesty's trust, and the minister only wants to die." ”

Wei Yuan's posture made him ready to stand up and attack, and asked Emperor Yuan Jing to behead the people in the matter, and he didn't know how to speak.

Emperor Yuan Jing sneered: "You are honest, Wei Yuan, if you quibble today, I will send you to the heavenly prison." ”

Wei Yuan lowered his head and did not speak.

Emperor Yuan Jing snorted coldly: "The one who reported you was the golden gong Zhu Yang who beat the yamen. ”

Wei Yuan still didn't speak.

In that recital, some evidence of corruption and perversion of the law in recent years was written, some of which were conclusive evidence, and some of which were purely slanderous.

Of course, there is also a newly recruited gong is also among them, and the crime is not small, in just one month, he used his position to collect thousands of taels of silver, and he lingered in the teaching workshop every day, sleeping with the Oiran.

At this time, one of the people in the criminal department gave a list of the matter, and said: "Your Majesty, the watchman uses his power for personal gain, knows the law and violates the law, and the minister proposes to behead Wei Yuan to deter the watchman and eliminate unhealthy tendencies." ”

Immediately, several ministers seconded the motion.

Emperor Yuan Jing glanced at Wei Yuan, who pleaded guilty to the law, and said in a deep voice: "This case will be handed over to the Dali Temple Qing of the Criminal Department and the government to deal with it jointly, and within three days, I will have a result." ”

End of meeting.

Nangong Qianrou followed behind Wei Yuan with a gloomy face, and after taking a few steps, she heard someone shouting behind her: "Duke Wei stays." ”

The father and son stopped and looked back, and it was Dali Siqing who caught up, he was wearing an embroidered cloud goose scarlet robe, and he was a member of the fourth grade.

Dali Siqing, like Jingzhao Mansion Yin, is an official whose position is not too high, but he holds great power, and his weight is very heavy.

In the capital, an official's status and right to speak are never based on grade, but on how much power he has.

Xungui is still beyond the grade, and he is not also squeezed to the edge of the power stage.

The old man with gray hair and a clear face bowed his hand with a smile: "This official wants to know the details of those criminals on the list from Duke Wei." ”

Wei Yuan nodded without joy and anger: "When I go back, I will let someone send a copy of Dali Temple." ”

Dali Temple Qing bowed his head with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "There is another thing, the official sees that Zhu Jinluo is a talent, upright, and wants to transfer him to Dali Temple." This official will greet His Majesty later, and come to greet Duke Wei first. ”

Seeing that Wei Yuan was still calm, Dali Siqing took a few steps forward and said, "Duke Wei knows what this official wants. ”

Wei Yuan laughed, "It's not a loss." ”

Dali Siqing looked at Wei Yuan's back with a gloomy face.

Returning to the carriage, Nangong Qianrou drove in the direction of the Yamen of the Guard, and in the carriage, Wei Yuan rubbed his eyebrows and sighed:

"Eye-catching, eye-catching...."

Nangong Qianrou sneered: "Father-in-law, you know that he may have different intentions, but you want to remember the old love. It's good now, it's not as simple as losing your troops. ”

In the yamen, in addition to those who are dead-eyed like Li Yuchun, there is also a stereotypical martial arts idiot like Yang Yan, who is not interested in beauty and money.

is like a paranoid like Nangong Qianrou, who likes to soak in the dungeon all day long and toss death row prisoners, she doesn't love silver, women.... Am I pretty?

"Kill him or not. Nangong Qianrou said hatefully.

"Settle accounts until after autumn. Wei Yuan replied calmly.

Without saying anything all the way, Nangong Qianrou drove through the bazaar, entered the secluded street, and continued: "Although this matter is not because of that kid, he is an introduction, and you could have avoided it, father-in-law." That kid deserves so much attention from his father-in-law?"

"There are a lot of golden gongs, but there is only one person who is so interesting, and I am looking forward to his growth. Wei Yuan chuckled, and the conversation changed:

"Your Majesty, you won't rest assured that you will see me do big. ”

When he said this, Wei Yuan finally had a hint of gloom.

"Dali Siqing just wanted to use that list to exchange the secret letter in the hands of his father-in-law, why did his father-in-law refuse?" asked Nangong Qianrou.

He knew that his father-in-law's last sentence "the words are not lost" was not to agree to the exchange of Dali Siqing, but to decide to endure the pain and replace the golden and silver gongs, and both sides lost.

He was answered by silence.

It's been an eventful year, no, every time Jingcha is a big upheaval. The team that my father-in-law cultivated with great difficulty, this time I have to break my muscles and bones.... Nangong Qianrou sighed.

Every time there will be a winner in Jingcha, and the Wang Party rose in the last Jingcha. But one thing is inevitable, that is, after the end of Jingcha, all parties will lose a lot. The winner is also a pyrrhic victory.

"Back to the yamen, you go to Xu Qi'an and let him hide for a few days, and I will find a way to get him out. ”

"Yes. Nangong Qianrou nodded sourly.

......

At dusk, Xu Qi'an, who ended his house inspection early, spent an hour shopping with Chu Caiwei, and bought whatever he saw delicious.

The big-eyed beauty is full of interest and has a lot of fun, and always has a sweet smile on her face.

Shopping is really more tiring than fighting, this tiredness is not physical, it is mental.... Xu Qi'an let out a sigh, as long as she coaxes this woman to be happy, it is worth being tired.

I heard a saying in my last life that there are 70 ways to coax girls, one is shopping, and the rest is 69.

The latter Xu Qi'an can't be used, so naturally there is no way to verify it, but the effect of shopping is really good.

After entering Guiyue Tower, he ordered a sumptuous dinner worth five taels of silver, Xu Qi'an, in order not to lose money, let go of his belly and fight with Chu Caiwei.

At this time, the feeling of palpitations came.

He quietly stopped eating, took out the jade mirror, and checked the information.

[1: There was an accident in the Yamen, and Zhu Yang reported Wei Yuan for corruption, and the case involved four golden gongs, twelve silver gongs and thirty copper gongs. It is jointly handled by the government office, the criminal department, and the Dali Temple. Does this mean that Wei Yuan is about to fall out of favor and fall during the Jingcha period?]

Zhu Yang became a second and fifth boy.... The whistleblower letter implicates so many people.... Xu Qi'an stared at the text message on the mirror, and his heart set off a storm.

During this period, the partisan struggle in the capital was in full swing, and each had its own victory or defeat. Because Xu Qi'an is not in a good position, he usually uses it as a conversation after tea and dinner, and he doesn't care about it after hearing it.

originally thought that the special positioning of the watchman would be able to sail steadily in this turmoil and would not be overturned, but it seems that he still does not know enough about the situation in the court and the party struggle.

"Zhu Yang, as a golden gong, must be holding a lot of black material in his hands, and now he suddenly rebels, and the watchman is estimated to be broken. ”

"As expected, it must be because of me, I heard that Zhu Yinluo was injured by that knife and fell into the root of the disease, and there is no hope for martial arts in the future. Instead of doing nothing, I was promoted and raised. ”

“.... Indeed, if I were Emperor Yuan Jing, I would definitely not watch Wei Yuan sit big, from the tax and silver case to the Sangbo case, and then to the struggle during this time, the civil official group has played out their brains, and the nobles have generally remained intact, but this is because the power in the hands of the people is not enough, and they do not have the confidence to tear up. ”

"Wei Yuan told me that now that the dynasty is above, the royal party and the people who fight are the strongest. Now the royal party has lost its troops. The eunuch party represented by Wei Yuan will definitely be weakened. ”

"My little gong should .... Damn, it's strange that Zhu Yang will let me go. ”

Xu Qi'an's thoughts flickered, and he once passed the book on the fourth of the court officials: [Corruption and perversion of the law is just a superficial beginning, if you want to say that corruption perverts the law, Wei Yuan is in charge of the watchman, how can there be ugly clothes and beasts in the court?

[Emperor Yuan Jing just took this opportunity to suppress some Wei Yuan. 】

No. 4 is worthy of being an old man in officialdom, he is thousands of miles away, and his analysis is very good..... It's pretty much the same as I thought.... Eh, can't you still see through such a simple truth with the rank of No. 1? Asking such a stupid question... Xu Qi'an input information:

[If it is Emperor Yuan Jingdi's intention, then Wei Yuan can't do anything, right? ] 】

[Four: Hehe, it depends on the attitude of Emperor Yuan Jing and Wei Yuan, if you are just greedy, the punishment will not be too big, but there will definitely be a group of people who will be expelled from the yamen. 】

Shuanggui is it... Xu Qi'an suddenly worried about his future.

"What do you write and draw in the mirror? Chu Caiwei ate pig's trotters in sauce.

So women are big pigs' trotters.... Xu Qi'an put away the mirror and said, "It's okay, after eating, let's go see the ghost house." ”

In any case, it is more important to buy a house first, and to own a real estate than anything else.

Chen Fuyin of the government has a good relationship with me.... If I'm really on the list, I'm not afraid of entering the government, I'm afraid of falling into the prison of the Criminal Department.... I'm sure there is no embezzlement, but it doesn't matter how the facts are .... If you really can't do it, you will disappear for a few days, and ask Wei Yuan tomorrow morning how to arrange it.

Leaving Guiyue Tower, Xu Qi'an handed the jade mirror to Chu Caiwei: "Help me keep it for a few days." ”

"Oh. Chu Caiwei took it and stuffed it into the deerskin bag on her left waist.

After dark, they came to the haunted mansion, and the two climbed over the wall to enter.

"Can you tell me now? Why come here at night?"

The footsteps of the two echoed in the desolate abandoned house, there was no wind tonight, no insects in the middle of winter, and the silence was terrible.

Chu Caiwei held a sugar gourd in her hand, and her voice was crisp: "Yang is abundant during the day, and the female ghost in the well will not appear." If you want to get rid of her, you have to wait for her to come out.

"Also, I suspect there's something strange at the bottom of the well, and I'm going to go down and take a look at it later. ”

Go down and take a look.... Xu Qi'an, who has a phobia of the deep sea, was suddenly stunned, especially when he knew that there was something strange at the bottom of the well.

Wait, wait, the night is getting deeper, Chu Caiwei wondered: "Go down directly, do you want to go." ”

"I'm not going.... If you jump into the well alone, I don't feel at ease. ”

Chu Caiwei nodded, propped up the edge of the well, and jumped down with a pop.

This stupid girl is still very timid when she listens to ghost stories..... Xu Qi'an held the black gold long knife in his hand, and jumped into the well, the well water was cold, and he saw a bright light in front of him, reflecting the light body of the girl in the yellow dress, and she twisted her waist in the water, like a flexible mermaid.

The glimmer of light was the gossip plate around her waist.

After swimming for about ten minutes, Xu Qi'an suddenly saw Chu Caiwei stop, she took off the gossip plate on her waist, as if she was confronting something.

Xu Qi'an swam over, and then the bright light emitted by the gossip plate saw a woman in white lying at the bottom of the well.

She seemed to notice it, and slowly looked up, and it was a bloody face, with eyeballs hanging on her cheeks, and maggots wriggling in her black hole sockets.
