So as soon as he went out and went in, Ye Xingyuan earned 2,700 taels of silver. Jingzhao Mansion closed the case according to the original verdict, Li Wei was already heartbroken, and he thought that even if he didn't have to kill people to pay for his life this time, how could he lose his official position and go to his post, and he had no future, so what was the interest in living?

Who knew that he was only transferred to the prison once, and he was put back as he was in two or three days, only saying that he was caught by mistake, and there was no explanation, which made him confused. obviously confessed to killing people on the street, how did he get acquitted?

When he got out of the prison, Ye Xingyuan took him back to the post house, explained in detail, and handed over all the money to him, Li Cheng knew that Jingzhao Mansion was corrupt and stupid, and it had reached such a point, and he had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know how to react.

He is loyal to the country, since he can remember, he has been loyal to the country, and he hates the dark and corrupt things of officialdom the most, but now he saves his life and future because of the corruption of officialdom, this feeling is really impossible to talk to outsiders.

Li Cheng is a sincere person, he didn't dare to accept the silver that sold the knife, and he forced it into Ye Xingyuan's hands. He said gratefully: "Brother Ye Xian has done a little bit for me, how can I not know this kindness? This treasure knife has fallen into the hands of others, if there is no virtuous brother to fight for reason, how can I get silver?"

I understand very well, even if my life was saved by you, brother Xian, how dare you take this thing outside your body again? Please leave these pieces of silver, you will spend a lot of money in Beijing, and you need to keep some more entanglements. ”

Ye Xingyuan said with a smile: "I am in the same righteousness as Brother Li, so I just reached out to help, but it was just a gesture, how dare I take the silver taels that you exchanged for your heirloom knife? Not to mention that Brother Li was already very poor, so he had to sell the knife to help his brother, you should keep this silver, I will use it enough." ”

The current Ye Xingyuan is not the original, because of the three adults' treasure donation funds, plus Tang Shiyan's private small treasury, he really doesn't look at thousands of taels of silver in his eyes.

Li Cheng insisted on refusing to accept it, and was bitter by Ye Xingyuan. His face was just red, and he barely took a fraction of seven hundred taels, "There are seven hundred taels of silver, and our brothers can always hold on to the difference, and if the remaining two thousand taels are not accepted, they will look down on me." ”

Ye Xingyuan pondered for a while and said: "Then I will accept it temporarily, anyway, I plan to do some business in Beijing, and I am about to raise capital." Since Brother Li is full of intentions, then these silver should be your shares, and you will start business in the future. Own your dividends. ”

He paused, and then said: "This time we were forced to lose the treasure knife of Brother Li's family, if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely try my best to redeem it for Brother Li." ”

As long as Li Cheng is willing to accept the money, he doesn't care what kind of business, not to mention that he thinks that Ye Xingyuan knows what kind of business he knows? As long as he doesn't lose too much money, he won't say anything about what dividends he expects.

As for the heirloom sword. Li Cheng felt very sorry in his heart, but the situation was stronger than people, and he knew that if he didn't let out the treasure sword, it might be a disaster for his life, and he couldn't see it through, let alone suffer poverty in the capital for many days. He had already thought of giving up when he went to the street to sell knives, but now he is not very sad.

Ye Xingyuan said that he wanted to redeem it, but he opened his mouth to persuade him: "Virtuous brother don't have more branches, now the eunuch is in charge." I also know that the father-in-law of Wang Li, who is still the eunuch of Shangshan, is the righteous son of Wang Ren, the eunuch of Bingbi, since the knife fell into his hand. Let's put up with it. ”

Li Cheng has been in Beijing for many days, although he has a loyal and upright temperament, and he will not be able to slip around and shoot horses, nor can he go through the door, but the general relationship between the characters is still much clearer than that of Ye Xingyuan, who has just arrived.

Ye Xingyuan suddenly realized, no wonder this little book can be powerful in Jingzhao Mansion, it turns out that there is such a big man behind it. Fortunately, although he was offended today, his bottom was not revealed, even if the eunuch Bingbi was unhappy, he would point the finger at Governor Hu who was carrying the black pot.

Ye Xingyuan entered Beijing this time and sent the crow god Xiangrui, representing the entire Dinghu Province, which means that the officialdom of Dinghu Province was inadvertently tied to his young man.

Although Governor Hu and the others thought of this section, they always thought that Ye Xingyuan was very low-key and steady in the provincial capital, and he would inevitably be cautious in his words and deeds when he first entered Beijing, so as not to abuse this identity. Who knew that this kid was bold, and he had only been in Beijing for three or five days, and even the eunuch Bingbi had already offended.

If they had known in advance, the three leaders of Dinghu Province would never have been so entrusted. It's a pity that even if he later knew that Ye Xingyuan crossed the river and caused a big storm in Beijing, it would be too late, and it would be too late to regret it.

Ye Xingyuan had already figured out along the way, since he had entered Beijing from the beginning, and even did not hesitate to get the word "fortunate to enter" that Qingliu scholars were most worried about, of course he had to maximize the use of all resources. This identity name is used to fake the tiger, and Jingzhao Mansion is just a first try, and the effect is good.

Of course, the top priority now is to wait for the news of the Ministry of Rites, Xiangrui Face Saint, and other arrangements in Beijing must be postponed. After Ye Xingyuan rescued Li Cheng, he waited patiently in the post house and did not go out easily.

However, he said that Wang Li got the treasure knife that day, and he returned to his own courtyard in a hurry, and secretly collected the treasure knife, and then entered the palace to find his godfather Wang Ren.

The celebrant is on the east side of the forbidden palace, and the official documents transferred by the cabinet every day must be annotated by the celebrant and then forwarded to the Son of Heaven, and after the Son of Heaven approves it, it will be transferred to the cabinet by the celebrant supervisor.

From a certain point of view, the celebrant is just the emperor's secretary, playing the role of uploading and disseminating, and his own rank is not too high, if the emperor or the cabinet is strong, they have no status in the middle.

But in actual implementation, no matter where it is, the secretary of the leader often becomes one of the concentration points of power. The celebrant is the bridge between the Son of Heaven and the cabinet, especially the Longping Emperor's neglect of government, and many official affairs have even been handed over to the celebrant to deal with, which further expands the power of the celebrant - this is not in line with the rules set by the sage, but unfortunately in practice, everyone knows it.

The eunuch Hong En, the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, is old and confused, because he is an old man in the palace of Emperor Longping, so he has always occupied this position. But in fact, he only shows his face in prison every first day of the new year, even if he sits, he is dozing, and the real power is in the hands of Wang Ren, who has always been low-key.

Compared with the eunuchs in the palace, Wang Ren is young, only in his fifties this year. He entered the palace at the age of eight, because he was well-behaved and clever, followed the princes to study, studied hard, and climbed up step by step in forty years, reaching this hot position. But he is always modest and cautious, does not involve right and wrong, does not talk about the inner court, and even the outer court rarely says that he is not good.

It's just that in recent years, Wang Ren's godson Wang Li has been a bit domineering, and he has a bad reputation in Jingzhao Mansion, saying that he bullied men and women and accepted bribes, but after all, he was also separated, and he didn't hear of Wang Ren's favoritism.

Most people think that this godson is not angry and blames him, and a few people also think that Wang Ren is now powerful, and he has done self-defiling in order to avoid political disputes in the court so as not to arouse the suspicion of the Son of Heaven, so his reputation is still not bad.

Now Wang Ren'an was sitting in prison, intently looking at a notebook, and carefully annotating it with a red pen -- Emperor Longping was impatient to read the articles of his courtiers, and he was willing to reply only if Wang Ren understood it in the vernacular.

Behind him, two teenage eunuchs served, one hunched over the stove and the other making tea.

Wang Ren was thin, wearing only a jacket, and his face was flushed. He was very afraid of the cold, and because of his status, he could not wear fur clothes in the palace, so every winter in the celebrant eunuch, the charcoal burned very much, and the whole warm pavilion was hot.

Tea is the cage smoke tea of southern overseas, which is the tribute of the southern states, the output is very small, and it has the wonderful effect of regulating yin and yang. Only Emperor Longping was anxious and had a light taste, and he didn't like to drink tea, because he knew that Wang Ren was the best, so half of it was given to him.

This tea is slender and silvery, like flying snow like catkins, brewed with boiling water, only to see the white mist swirling on the tea cup, caged into a ball, and the aroma is bound in it. Wang Ren took the teacup from the little eunuch's hand, inhaled it gently, and inhaled all the white mist into his lungs, only to feel relaxed and happy, and the pain that originally came from the two lungs was also suppressed.

"This thing is wonderful, but it's a pity that it's hard to find, but I'm afraid that it will be out of cooking after the New Year. Wang Ren coughed lightly, took only one sip, and put the teacup down.

Half of the essence of the cage smoke tea is in the aroma wrapped in smoke, and there is no regret when you smoke it, although the tea is sweet, it is just a vulgar thing.

The little eunuch smiled and said: "When the spring of the New Year is over, and it is the time for the tribute to enter Beijing, Long Live Lord will inevitably give this tea again, with the respect of his father-in-law, are you afraid that you won't be able to drink it?

Wang Ren is only willing to drink a cup of cage smoke tea every day to nourish the yin and moisten the lungs, suppress the fire in his lungs, and never drink more, and he is a very restrained person. He said with a straight face: "Heaven and earth spiritual things, there is a fixed number, our family is just a crippled person, because of the blue eyes of the Son of Heaven, in order to taste the best in this world, how dare you not hesitate to cherish it?"

Most people in this world, as long as they have it, they will waste their strength, and they will never retreat. But Wang Ren is different, he has always known the benefits of moderation, and this is also his experience that has climbed all the way up over the years. The little eunuch is ignorant, how can he know that it is a good word?

"Godfather, your heart is over this time!" While they were talking, they heard a triumphant cry from outside, and the little eunuch at the door had not yet reported, and Wang Li had already come in with a fluttering probe, "I got it!"

Wang Ren slowly put down the chapter, frowned and glanced at Wang Li and said, "Little brute, you are not too young, why are you still so reckless? ”

He paused, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his tone was gentler again, "What kind of flashy treasure have you obtained? ”

Wang Li hurriedly expressed his merits, "Godfather, where is the flashy treasure, the Li family's treasure knife, I can get it!"

Wang Ren casually pushed the cantata, closed his eyes slightly, waved his hand, and the two little eunuchs behind him understood, and retreated silently. (To be continued......)
