Early this morning, Li Xiuyuan went to the palace very early to attend the court meeting.

However, as soon as he walked on his front foot, Qiu Rong followed and left the government office.

She felt that she had been living in the government office for several days, and that she should go back to the dart bureau to see if she had received a reply to the letter she had sent last time, and if so, she should urge her father to come to the capital as soon as possible.

Thinking of himself and Li Gongzi, a trace of shame always flashed in Qiu Rong's beautiful eyes.

But when she came to the dart game and returned to the backyard, she vaguely heard the sound of a woman crying and sobbing from the empty bedroom.

"Miss Xiao Xie, are you crying in the house? What happened, did someone bully you? Qiu Rong hurriedly knocked on the door and asked with concern.

Xiao Xie's sad voice sounded: "You haven't returned for a few days, I heard that the people of the dart bureau said that you live in the government office and are with Li Gongzi, I think you have entrusted your body and mind to Li Gongzi and got what you wanted...... It's hateful that I'm a female ghost, I can't get close to Li Gongzi's side, and I can't be like you

served Li Gongzi like this, and now every time I think of it, I can't help but cry sadly. ”

"Little Miss Xie, I'm sorry. Qiu Rong said with some shame when he heard this.

"You don't have to apologize, it's my shallow fate, I don't have such a blessing......" Xiao Xie's sobs came from inside the room again.

Qiu Rong didn't listen to it, she knew that Xiao Xie admired Li Gongzi very much, and it was already like this when she didn't come here, but as a female ghost, she had a heart of admiration but couldn't do anything, she also heard Xiao Xie mention her husband's situation, ordinary ghosts and gods can't be relied on

Near.

"Miss Xie, don't be sad, your husband will definitely find a way to solve your problem, and I will go and explain your situation to my husband. Qiu Rong was soft-hearted, and couldn't bear Xiao Xie to hide in the house all day and be sad, so he wanted to go back to the yamen and wait for his husband to come back to explain the matter.

Xiao Xie didn't reply, only the sound of sobbing kept coming,

When Qiu Rong was about to leave the dart game, a dart head called out to her: "Madam, madam, please stay, the little one has something to tell Madame." ”

"Are you calling me?" said Qiu Rong.

"Naturally, I was calling Madame. The dart head gave a respectful salute: "Not long after Mrs. returned to the dart bureau just now, a businessman named Qiushou claimed to be Madame's father, saying that he was looking for Madame, and now he is waiting in the lobby.

Let's see if this merchant of Qiushou is Madame's father, and if not, the little one can find a reason to send him away. ”

"Qiu Shou is my father, is my father in the lobby? Great, I'm going to see my father. Qiu Rong said in surprise.

With that, she hurriedly turned around and walked towards the lobby.

At this moment, in the lobby, a middle-aged businessman with a mediocre appearance was drinking tea at the moment, waiting quietly.

"Father, is that you?" Qiu Rong was very excited when he walked over and saw the man.

Qiu Shou was not surprised at the moment, but immediately put down the teacup and became a little annoyed, "You, an unfilial girl, are so unkind, you were deceived and sold to the capital hundreds of miles away, do you know how much trouble you have caused to the family." ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help jumping up, and he didn't know where to find a branch and hit Qiu Rong.

The daughter knew that she was wrong and asked her father to calm his anger. Qiu Rong hurriedly knelt down, not daring to say more.

But when Qiu Shou was about to fight, the dart master on the side came quickly, grabbed his hand, and stopped him from teaching Qiu Rong a lesson.

"This dart master, do you want to take care of my daughter when I reprimand my daughter here?" Qiu Shou said angrily.

The dart master smiled: "If the old man wants to reprimand his daughter, he can't manage it naturally, but there is a way to spill the water out of the married daughter, and the old man wants to beat the wife, and he has to ask the opinion of the eldest young master, if the eldest young master does not agree, the old man can't come nonsense." ”

"What?"

Qiu Shou's eyes suddenly widened: "You, you have become the wife of another family, this, this ......."

"Yes, yes, father, the daughter is now Li Gongzi's person. Qiu Rong bowed his head and said.

"I'm so angry, you, an unfilial girl, have a personal affair with someone else, see if I don't kill you, an unfilial girl, today. Qiu Shou was suddenly ashamed and angry, he knew that why he had to come all the way to the capital to pick up his daughter, so he simply didn't give birth to it.

He was so angry that he wanted to fight, but he couldn't beat it, and the dart master on the side kept stopping him.

The dart master is not wrong, Qiu Rong is now Li Xiuyuan's concubine, and she is a member of the Li family, except for Li Xiuyuan, no one else is qualified to beat and scold, even if it is his own father.

Qiu Shou regained some reason after a short period of anger, and his mouth moved slightly, "I categorically will not agree to this matter, how can my own daughter be treated as a concubine, this matter must be forced by that guy, report to the official, I must go to the official, go, if you still wait for me to be your father, just follow it."

I went to report to the official, and then left the capital with my father, and after returning home, I will not mention today's events to outsiders again. ”

"Father, Li Gongzi did not force his daughter, his daughter is willing to follow who Li Gongzi, he is an honest and kind good person, worthy of his daughter's life, even if it is for the concubine daughter, he is willing, father, you agree to the matter of your daughter and Li Gongzi. Qiu Rong pleaded.

"No, my Qiu family has never had a woman who is a concubine for others in three or four generations, don't say anything when you get to the court later, your father will make this matter clear to the prefect, and when the judgment of the yamen comes, you will have no contact with that Li Gongzi, and I will take you with my father."

Go home. ”

Qiu Shou sternly refused, and he had to pull Qiu Rong to report to the official.

Qiu Rong is also ashamed and anxious, her husband is the prefect, if she really goes to report to the official, how should the two meet?

At this moment, Li Xiuyuan didn't know that such a thing had happened in his backyard, he was now in the Zichen Palace, looking at his nose and nose, and standing motionless in a remote corner in a daze.

Above the court, all the princes of Gon were there.

The squire of the six departments, Lord Yang of Zhongshu Province, as well as the civil officials who admonished and the generals on duty, there are many who should come, except for a few who ask for leave.

If you really don't want to go, you can ask for sick leave.

If someone is lazy, it is okay to ask for leave five or six or seven times in a row, or even not to go to the court meeting for half a year.

Of course, the premise is that you are tough enough in the background, so as not to be seized by those admonishing civil officials and impeached and lose your official position.

The official family was still like that, sitting listlessly on the dragon chair, yawning carelessly, obviously very dissatisfied with the five-day meeting.

"The official, the minister has a book, and the minister wants to impeach the prefect of the capital, Li Xiuyuan, Lord Li. ”

A civil official who admonished said, "There are many rumors in the capital that in order to solve the case of Fang Shengyu's assassination, Master Li pointed to the deer as a horse, reversed black and white, and forcibly pointed out a little maid in the Fang Mansion as the murderer, so that he was beaten into a trick and forcibly closed the case. ”

The minister also impeached Li Xiuyuan for being corrupt and perverting the law, disregarding people's lives, and many families in the market were raided and arrested by this Master Li because of the Wutongjiao case, which ruined the family and killed the people, and the people were struggling to make a living. Last night, he personally led troops to surround Ruyi Fang, so dozens of lives were killed, and the official family was asked to severely punish Li

Xiuyuan, remove him from his post and investigate it. "There are civil officials again.

"Last night, the minister was in the Ruyi Fang and could testify. Huang Shilang nodded in agreement.

Li Xiuyuan's eyelids in the corner moved slightly, and he had long expected that many people would impeach him at this court meeting.

"Oh. Is that really the case?"

The official raised his eyelids slightly, and asked with a not strange look.

Immediately, Yan Kuan, who had six doors, stood up and scolded: "Official, the minister thinks this is a bunch of nonsense, the case of Fang Shengyu being stabbed was originally committed by the demon Wang Erxi of the Wutong Sect, this person disguised himself as a woman and mixed into the Fang Mansion to seek money and kill him, Lord Li found out his identity and arrested him, evidence."

Conclusive, no quibbles, here is the file of this case, and the pleadings of Wang Erxi's confession, if any adult does not believe it, he can go to the cell of the six doors to interrogate him in person. ”

The minister also agreed with Lord Yan's statement, this case has been closed, then Wang Erxi should be beheaded according to the law, the list has been shown to the official family, and the hearsay of several adults is not credible. ”

"Indeed, this case has already been closed, so why argue? Master Li has solved the case quickly, and he should be commended. ”

Several other civil officials who didn't know each other actually stood up and said good things for Li Xiuyuan.

Li Xiuyuan glanced at it, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he knew that Fang Shengyu was definitely not implicated in Wang Erxi's case, there were still several officials in the capital involved, and those who helped to speak were probably the ones who had suffered Wang Erxi's loss.

If he continues to investigate, he will definitely shake out all the facts of Wang Erxi's case.

Anyway, Fang Shengyu's family has already been killed, and he doesn't need to care about other people's reputations.

"Well, this is the end of the case of Fang Shengyu's assassination, Li Aiqing solved the case quickly, and he deserved to be rewarded, so he gave a jade belt, a pair of Ruyi, and ten brocades. The official waved his hand and spoke.

"Xie Guan's family. Li Xiuyuan stood up and bowed his hand.

"But what did Master Li say about the Ruyi Fang incident yesterday?" Huang Shilang scolded sternly, "Is it just a matter of ignoring dozens of lives?"

Li Xiuyuan said: "Those people were not killed by the officials, but by the big thief Shi Hu, when the official family, Li Liangjin, the king of Jiushan, rebelled, this big thief Shi Hu was one of the thieves, and now he fled to the capital, and there was a suspicion of colluding with the Wutong Sect to rebel, and the minister did not dare to be careless, so he was suspected of trespassing and dispatched."

The arrest of the six gates, as well as the twenty personal soldiers of the minister, as well as the Yaksha general, helped to surround the Ruyi Fang and kill him. ”

When he heard this, the national teacher who was waiting on the side of the dragon chair narrowed his eyes slightly, and some light flickered.

Shi Hu is dead?

Although he had received the news a long time ago, he didn't think that this old demon of Montenegro would be wiped out so easily, but after yesterday, there was indeed no breath of Shi Hu.

Now let's just let him die.

"The official, the minister thinks that Shi Hu is accused of rebellion, the crime is unforgivable, and now it is a great achievement to be exterminated, and it is inevitable that there will be casualties. ”

At this time, Fu Tianqiu, the squire of the military department, stood up and said: "Even if the merits and demerits are offset, the ministers also feel that the merits are greater than the demerits." ”

"Hmph, you are Li Xiuyuan's father-in-law, naturally speak for him, do you need to mobilize so many soldiers and horses to deal with a thief, and what about the suspicion of trespassing? The people of the six gates, plus their own personal soldiers, and the men and horses of General Yaksha, there are already hundreds of people, and there are two to be mobilized in the capital

A hundred men and horses who have already gone up need the order of you, the squire of the military department, and the mobilization of five hundred men and horses that have already gone up requires the will of the officials. ”

"Li Xiuyuan has mobilized more than two hundred people, and the official family doesn't know about it, and you didn't stop it, Master Fu, I don't know how Master Fu will explain this matter?" a civil official snorted coldly.

Li Xiuyuan glanced at it, this civil official was actually the person who worshiped Fang Shengyu that day, and later it seemed that Fang Shengyu was deceived by his own spell and fainted.

I guess I still have a grudge and want to take revenge.

What a careful eye.

At this time, Lord Yang of Zhongshu Province also took the opportunity to stand up and said: "The minister also thinks that Lord Li has merit in exterminating Shihu, but the crime of trespassing is not small, especially in the sword soldiers, according to the law of the imperial court, the official position should be dismissed, and it will never be hired....."

"Lord Yang, he is doing things for the imperial court, and he has found this case, and the transfer of the six gates at this moment was approved by the official family before, and it cannot be said that he is messing with swords and soldiers in the capital. Fu Tianqiu's face darkened, and he said angrily.

Lord Yang: "It is precisely because of the permission of the official family that the minister thinks that Lord Li's move should be offset by merit and demerit, and he will not be held accountable or rewarded." ”

As soon as these words came out, Fu Tianqiu's face was slightly better.

But Li Xiuyuan looked unmoved, because he understood that if someone really wanted to deal with him, he would definitely not use such a small crime.

In this way, according to Yang Aiqing's words, the merits and demerits are offset. "The official said.

Although the impeachment of civil officials is fierce, Li Xiuyuan is also upright and not afraid of crooked shadows, and the impeachment of emptiness and powerlessness cannot play a substantive role, and it can only be said that this is just a means of civil officials.

It's like eating and sleeping, see who doesn't like the eye and impeach a few times, and then impeach a few times if it doesn't please the eye, anyway, you won't suffer a loss.

"Fortunately, the group of scholars was settled yesterday, if those scholars come to the court today, and jointly write a book, the situation will definitely become out of control. Li Xiuyuan said secretly in his heart.

It can be said that this invisible crisis has been resolved.

A seemingly dangerous court meeting ended in the end.

Although Li Xiuyuan was impeached, he was rewarded in the end, and he was even more unharmed.

However, after the court meeting ended, he was not in a hurry to leave, but planned to take this opportunity to go to Daojun's temple to retrieve the book of life and death.

But after some inquiry, I learned that Daojun's temple was in the harem of the imperial city.

This made him a little embarrassed.

The harem is the place where the emperor's empress and concubines live, and idlers are not allowed to enter or leave unless there is the emperor's permission.

But just as Li Xiu was thinking while walking from afar, a eunuch suddenly came from somewhere in a hurry, and then said, "Is it Lord Li?"

"Huh?" Li Xiuyuan subconsciously became vigilant when he saw the eunuch, but then he went and recognized this eunuch, who was actually the one who sent the show girl into the palace last time, and he also bribed him with a few of these Eastern Pearls.

"It turned out to be my father-in-law last time, I don't know what to do with this official?"
