Here, Xue Nong also walked to the study with Chu Queluo, and at the same time, Li Gang and Lu Wu walked in. Seeing that Li Gang also closed the door, Lu Wu also hurriedly spoke: "My lord, what the hell is going on." ”

Xue Nong also smiled and said, "Let's talk about it, girl, I don't know much about this matter." ”

Chu Queluo also looked at everyone's eyes focused, and also nodded and walked to the front and said, "I've seen three adults." ”

"Hey, since I said to accept you as my daughter, then you are my daughter. I don't need so many courtesies, even if my Xuenong's daughter arrives in the two capitals, they still want to give me a face. Xue Nong also said arrogantly.

"Yes, thank you, Father. Chu Que Luo also showed a trace of gratitude in her eyes, and then said, "Actually, my daughter doesn't know clearly, because this is the case." When I was still sorting out some things this morning, I was put into a sedan chair by this Lu Peng's people, and then I heard my mother say that Lu Peng bought me and wanted to give it to the official, but I didn't expect it to be my father-in-law. ”

Li Gang also touched his head and said: "This Lu Peng wants to show goodwill to his father-in-law, so that his father-in-law can leave Jiaxing Mansion earlier." ”

And Xue Nong also glared at Li Gang and said, "Don't use your brain." ”

Li Gang also looked at Xue Nong and said, "The subordinates are stupid, please ask the adults to make it clear." ”

"He, Lu Peng, is a person who will bow his head? If he wants to bow his head, he can completely sink this case, find one or two scapegoats at random, and he can deal with me, but this Lu Peng is bent on staying in Jiaxing Mansion, how can he bow his head at this time?" Xue Nong also nodded.

Lu Wu also patted his head at this time and said, "My lord has been tricked." ”

Li Gang also asked, "Lu Wu, what did you think of? Besides, didn't the adults already turn this welcoming relatives into a righteous girl?"

Lu Wu also sighed and said: "Why don't you understand, the key to this matter is not the relationship between the adult and Miss Chu, but the relationship between the adult and Lu Peng, don't forget that Miss Chu's ransom money is out of Lu Peng, what does this make the people of Jiaxing think? Doesn't this mean that Lu Peng and the adult are friends who are irreversible? If not, why did Lu Peng give such a large sum of money to the adult?"

"It's a macons. Li Gang also said uneasily, "How about we send a sum of money to the Lu Mansion now?"

"No need, if Lu Peng had this idea, then the news would have spread all over Jiaxing Mansion. Besides, can we really afford such a sum of money for our six doors? If we take it out, it will inevitably be true, and if the money we take out is far lower than the real price, it will also be criticized. said that this was my Xue Nong deliberately put on a show, because this big head was taken out by him Lu Peng. Forget it. Xue Nao also smiled and said.

"It's all my daughter's fault for causing trouble to my father-in-law. Chu Que Luo also said uneasily.

Xue Nong also looked at her and smiled and said, "You stupid boy, he Lu Peng was originally going to target me, what does it have to do with you." Even if it's not you, there will be other Qinglou women to send it, maybe there are many people who are far less temperamental than yours. Xue Nong's words are sincere, if Lu Peng really chooses a veteran on the Fengyue field, and does not accept Xue Nong's so-called righteous girl, then Xue Nong's situation will be quite embarrassing. Hearing Xue Nong say this, Chu Que Luo also smiled and said, "In this way, my daughter thanked her father-in-law." ”

But at this moment, Xi Ren was also kneeling there in the imperial study, and Zhu Jianji also sneered and said, "What's the matter?

"The grass people don't dare to do it, but the minister has ten books. Xi Ren also looked at Zhu Jianji and said.

Zhu Jianji also smiled and said, "Then I'll listen to what you have and present it." ”

"Back to the emperor, the twists and turns of the grass people are all in my mind. Xi Ren also spoke.

"Bold, Xi Ren, are you playing tricks on the emperor?" Cao Anhua also shouted.

"The grass people don't dare, they just tell the truth. Xi Ren also said lightly.

And Zhu Jianji also raised his hand to stop Cao Anhua, who still wanted to step forward, opened his mouth and said: "He is carrying a coffin, you can't scare him." Say, I listen. ”

Xi Ren also smiled at Zhu Jianji and said, "The one that is played in this chapter is not another king, it is the king of Xia Yu." Since King Yu ascended the throne, he has enjoyed 485 years of blessings, and then a monarch named King Ji. The king listened to his sister's slanderous words, and there was no way. ”

Zhu Jianji also looked at Xi Ren's face and continued as usual: "Keep playing." ”

Xi Ren also nodded and read: "The two ways of the grass people are not played by other kings, or the king of Yin. Since the king ascended the throne, he has favored a concubine, whose name is Daji. Since Daji sat in the palace, he built and repaired the deer platform, built the cover and picked up the stars, and built a large number of buildings, wasting the people's money and burning the heart. Can be regarded as a faint gentleman. ”

"Bold!" Cao Anhua also pointed at Xi Ren and said, "You are comparing the emperor with the faint monarch of ancient times, and your heart can be punished." ”

"Let him keep playing, I want to see what he can say. Zhu Jianji also said with a smile, but his smile was a little stiff. "Play your three chapters. ”

"The three ways of the grass people are played in this chapter is not another king, or the king of Zhou You. Since King You's accession to the throne, she has favored a concubine, known as Bao Xi, and since Bao Xi sat in the palace, her face has not been smiling, and there is nothing you can do about it. In order to repair the Litai with the height of the second zhang in the middle, the two of them have fun with the drinkers on the Litai every day. Beacon Theatre Princes. But the faint gentleman no. Xi Ren also opened his mouth to speak, and seeing that Zhu Jianji didn't speak, he continued, "The minister's four ways are not played in this chapter, it is not another king, it is the king of Chu Ling. Since the King of Spirit ascended the throne, he did not love the fat man, but only the man with a thin waist. Regardless of the dragon son and grandson, the palace lady Cainu, the nine counties and eight concubines, if the family is still fat, he will cut off his body with a steel sword. There was nothing to be done about the civil and military forces, and on the 369th day of the palace to congratulate, the waist was tied with a plain belt first. Long live, since this faint monarch ascended the throne, it is difficult to disturb the civil and military concubines, and it can be regarded as a faint monarch. ”

"The emperor can't let him continue. Cao Anhua also said to Zhu Jianji.

And Zhu Jianji said with a smile: "If he doesn't let Xi Ren finish playing these ten books, I think he will dare to kill me in this imperial study today, continue to read!"

"It's the emperor. Xi Ren also nodded and continued to read: "The five realms of this chapter are not played by other gentlemen, or by the Jin Xiangong. Since Xiangong ascended the throne, he has favored a concubine named Li Ji. Since Li Ji sat in the palace, she and His Royal Highness had a discordant speech, so as to turn her lips and chew her tongue in front of the old king, the old king is the king of benevolence and virtue, and she insisted on not listening. Spoiling his wife and killing his son is chaotic. There is no rescue for the catastrophe in the court, and he loses people. ”

"Xi Ren, do you really want to die?" Cao Anhua couldn't persuade him, and Zhu Jianji also said to Xi Ren.

"Father-in-law Cao, why do you bother to say this?" Xi Ren also looked at Cao Anhua and sneered.

Zhu Jianji also glared at Cao Anhua and said, "Cao Anhua, if you talk more, let me go outside and kneel." ”

Xi Ren also smiled and sang: "King Ping was originally a Taoist king, and his father accepted his son and wife in chaos. Wu Hao's doctor Jingua died, and Wu Shang's oil pot returned to yin. King Xiang was originally a no-way king, and his favorite concubine killed his son. There was no rescue from the catastrophe in the DPRK, and he lost the country to outsiders. King Wu was originally a Taoist monarch, bullying the people and women. He did not hesitate to use it, and he lost the society to outsiders. Yang Guang was originally a Taoist gentleman, and his wife and sister-in-law raped his sister. Qionghua will have a big incident, and he will be executed and scolded by the faint king. ”

"Six, seven, eight, nine. Zhu Jianji also counted lightly and said, "You have only nine books so far, is this tenth book reserved for me?"

"The grass people don't dare. Xi Ren also knelt and said. Seeing this, Cao Anhua was also relieved. The heart said that this old man also had a good time. But Zhu Jianji also opened his mouth and said: "Is there anything else you don't dare? It's all the last one, so let's talk about it." I've been waiting for me for a long time. ”

Xi Ren also knelt on the ground and said: "Long live my lord in this tenth book of grass people, the Ming Dynasty is dedicated to the emperor, heavy eunuchs, and light loyalty." Depreciate the prince and use villains. As a result, the territory of the Ming Dynasty was lost, and the domestic troubles were unaware. ”

Zhu Jianji's face is also getting more and more difficult to look at.

"Did Cao Banban hear it? He thinks that this Ji Ning is lost, you eunuchs are ruining this court, and these civil officials are loyal and good. Zhu Jianji also sneered and stood up, grabbed a book and threw it directly on Xi Ren's head and said, "What nonsense!"

"Is the emperor angry?" said Xi Ren after taking this book. After all, this Zhu Jianji did not kill him, and he was not injured.

"What do I have to be angry about? It's just nonsense, I just didn't expect that the Dali Siqing, whom I have always relied on, would actually look at me like this. Zhu Jianji also smiled and said, "Cao Banban, go and get the box of things out, and take out the Dali Temple." Show my Zhongliang how clean his Dali Temple is. ”

And Cao Anhua also gave Xi Ren a meaningful smile and walked here alone. Xi Ren said disappreciatively: "The emperor will suffer from the eunuchs who rely on him so much." ”

"That's better than those of you who eat the emperor's food, but don't do things for the emperor. Zhu Jianji also said with a sneer. But Zhu Jianji also felt more and more that after following Xi Ren, sooner or later he would be angry with him.

Here, Cao Anhua also commanded the two little eunuchs to put a box in front of Xi Ren, and then Cao Anhua also asked the two little eunuchs to retreat. Zhu Jianji also walked to the box at this time and said, "Xi Ren, open it and take a look." Look at what your Dali Temple has done over the years. ”

Xi Ren also didn't believe in evil, and after opening the box, he said: "The emperor doesn't need to scare the old minister, and the old minister is not scared." ”

"Why are you called an old minister again, weren't you demoted to a citizen by me?" Zhu Jianji also said with a smile.

Xi Ren also opened his mouth and said: "The emperor wants to use Dali Temple to scare the ministers, so the ministers are naturally the officials of Dali Temple." But after this sentence, Xi Ren couldn't say a word, because a box was densely packed with records and account books, both the statistics of the property and intersection of the officials of the Dali Temple, as well as the bribery situation in the Dali Temple. Seeing these things, Xi Ren also felt that his eyes were dark, and the sweat couldn't stop falling down. Xi Ren was also busy throwing the book aside in his hand and changing the basics, but he knew that these things really existed after a few glances. For a while, Xi Ren didn't know what to say to Zhu Jianji. And Zhu Jianji took the tea made by Cao Anhua and took a sip and said, "How is it, my old courtier." I also didn't expect that this Qingshui Yamen like Dali Temple, you can all mix 100,000 taels of revenue a year, it's really not easy. ”

"Since the emperor knows that Dali Temple is like this, why don't you care. Xi Ren also aged a lot for a while, and asked.

Zhu Jianji also sneered and said: "If this is the case in a Dali Temple, then what should be done with the yamen of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households? But how much can Xi Ren get in these 100,000 taels? That's just a hundred taels." Relatively speaking, you Xi Ren is a clean official, so you can sit in the position of Dali Siqing for so long. ”

"Your Majesty, it turns out that I said that why there are always some people in Dali Temple who have offended the fans of Dongchang inexplicably, it turned out to be instructed by the emperor. Xi Ren also looked at Zhu Jianji and asked.

Zhu Jianji also looked at Xi Ren and said: "How good it would be for you to be so smart, I can allow them to stretch out their hands, but this hand can't be too long, because it's too long, and I'm afraid." ”

Xi Ren also stood up at this time and looked at Zhu Jianji and said: "The old minister is by no means a person who does not know how to be flexible, the emperor is ruthless to these moths, and the old minister understands." But Your Majesty, in order to bring down a Dingguo Duke and let these people die like this, how can you bear it? Those are all your people. ”

"Xi Ren, what do you want to do? rebel?" Cao Anhua also opened his mouth to scold.

Zhu Jianji also glanced at him and said: "If I say, don't you believe this matter with my acquiescence?" I am also very annoyed that he is making his own opinion, but I can't punish him, because he has indeed removed a trouble from my heart for me, and if he is moved, it will inevitably make people feel cold." ”

And Xi Ren also stood and sighed and said: "It's useless to say more, the old minister has one last question, if the emperor answers the old minister, then long live please kill, long live please behead." ”

"You ask. Zhu Jianji also looked at the old man with some pity and said.

Xi Ren also opened his mouth and said: "Isn't the emperor going to pursue immortality?"

"Joke, even if it is Emperor Qin and Han Wu, there is no immortality, how can I have such an unrealistic idea. Zhu Jianji also spoke.

"In that case, why did the emperor imprison the crown prince?" Xi Ren also raised his hand and said, "Could it be that the emperor wants a different prince?"

"That rebel, there is even someone to intercede for him. Zhu Jianji also shook his head in frustration.
