233 Listening

She nodded and said, "So, Xie Rong is also facing many crises now."

"It's natural."

Xie Wan moistened his throat with tea and said, "In the past, he was just a low-level official. Even if he was a close servant of the prince, it was not the time to cultivate his confidant. But now he is already in the position of the third grade. The key is that he was almost demoted this time. After this matter, he will definitely calm down and prevent such a thing from happening again.

"If there are a few people around him this time and persuade him at a critical time, he may not follow Guo Xing to the private kiln. Then I may not be able to put him in such an awkward situation. I'm sure that he is thinking about how to strengthen his momentum and strive to be the most important assistant around Ji Zhenyuan, and his next goal should be to step on Gu Ruoming first.

"Won't he come to take revenge on you first?"

Mrs. Zhao was a little surprised. Xie Lang was also present with Jin Yong at that time. It is reasonable that Xie Rong can easily suspect Xie Wan. Why did he deal with Gu Ruoming first, not against her?

Xie Wan put the tea bowl and said, "Because if Xie Rong can't be the most important person around him in Ji Zhenyuan's interior, then even if he retaliates against me, others will continue to target him.

"And no matter who his opponent is, Gu Ruoming, who is jealous of him, is easy to be used, which is extremely unfavorable to Xie Rong. He must first settle down. Only after strengthening his position in Ji Zhenyuan's heart and facing foreign enemies in the future can he fully use Ji Zhenyuan's power.

Mrs. Zhao couldn't help nodding deeply.

She has always admired Xie Wan's calmness. At present, it seems that she really thinks more deeply than these women. Like these things, she often counts when she sees the surface. How can she think about the deep meaning behind this?

Xie Wan looked ahead and said, "So, I must stop Xie Rong's plan now.

"Although it may not be that he only has this way, as long as I find one, I will interrupt one. And in all the relationships he can get together, the in-laws are the most reliable. What's more, Xie Wei worships him like this. If Xie Wei marries the children of a high-ranking official, it is not easy to handle. Only the children of this poor family who are eager to make progress are easy to handle and absolutely reliable, because they have the same

When Mrs. Zhao heard this, there is nothing she doesn't understand anymore. If Xie Wei marries the children of high-ranking officials, she can not be busy to stop it. On the contrary, the children of poor families should guard against it. She muttered, "But Xie Rong has not personally expressed his idea of recruiting a son-in-law to these people now, and we can't stop him."

Xie Wan turned his head with a deep look in his eyes: "So we should turn passive into active. Before he proposes this bait, let's solve the marriage for these young scribes who may be chosen by him, and that's it."

As long as these people have a marriage contract, Xie Rong's calculation will fail, and even if he looks for it again, it will not be something that can be found in a while. At the same time, Xie Wan can continue to destroy it in the same way. She doesn't think it's unreasonable to destroy Xie Wei's marriage. Xie Wei is her enemy. If she doesn't attack her, the other party will also follow her.

In the final analysis, this is an unscrupulous contest.

"So, I should be the matchmaker next." Mrs. Zhao held the tea with a smile.

Xie Wan smiled and said, "Although there are different government departments, the officials under the six departments are almost in the same circle. These officials are also in the capital, either the old mother or the parents are here, and there is no reason for them alone. Lord Zhao and his wife have a diligent relationship with those outsiders and the masters, so you are really the only one to do this matter.

Mrs. Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Although I don't know them, it's not difficult to know the officials under the Ministry of Criminal Justice. - Since the girl trusted me, she gave it to me. I have to help her do this!"

Xie Wan got up and said goodbye.

Mrs. Zhao insisted on keeping the meal. She smiled and said, "I really can't keep it. My cousin will get married in about ten days. I didn't have time to help my aunt for these trivial things at home. Before I came today, I agreed to cut the window flowers for my aunt. It's easy to eat. If you turn around, you will definitely come and disturb your wife.

Because Mrs. Zhao often went to the maple alley, she was also very familiar with the Yu family. She also knew that Qi Ruzhen was indeed going to get married, so she was no longer reluctant.

sent her to the second door, and then said, "On the day of Mr. Qi's marriage, come again to congratulate him."

Several imperial historians led by Wucheng Bingma Si and Jin Yong conducted a large-scale investigation of private prostitutes in the whole city. Because things happened too quickly, they also took a lot of people who lost their horses in a few days, including several senior officials above the third grade.

As soon as this incident happened, the people were more excited than Xie Rong's punishment. The hottest thing recently was that who was finally down and who was finally investigated. The scandals in Xie Shilang's house, which had repeatedly become a chat on the street a while ago, were not worth mentioning.

Of course, people who understand also know that this is what some people have done to do by the way, because this not only saved Xie Rong and Guo Xing from the attack of public opinion, but also offended other officials. In this way, the emperor's attention was also focused on how to be serious about the platform. It is said that he took it. Several senior officials smashed several palace lights in the Qianqing Palace that night, and even the dragon case was overturned.

But this has led to a huge problem. Since it was decreed that night that no matter who is found, it will be dealt with according to the law, will so many officials also be reduced or demoted according to the law? In this way, the court will definitely be in chaos.

But if it's not neat, where is the majesty of that day?

It turned out to be a little difficult to get down.

So the emperor was also angry these days and rested for a few days in the early morning.

Now the people of the soldiers and horses in the five cities don't know whether to continue to investigate or not. Because they were all nobles, they gathered together at the residence of the commander-in-chief, the Duke of Lu.

It's not easy for the Duke of Lu to take the measure in this period. If you don't investigate, it will be the crime of resisting the decree if the emperor blames at that time. Investigate it. The emperor is already angry like this. If you drag out a few more, I'm afraid it will be bad. But if you hide it and don't tell the truth, there is also a coveted Metropolitan Procuratorate on the side, which is really in a dilemma.

On this day, the Duke of Lu had a headache. When his wife saw that he was in such pain, she came up with an idea and said, "In my opinion, you'd better go to the Duke of the Protectorate. Please help me get an idea. Their family is the closest to the royal family. He just doesn't know what it means, right?

The Duke of Lu thought so deeply that he carried two foot-high jade Buddhas to the Protectorate that night.

"The ancestors all came out of the country. Please take a look at this and dial us."

After the Duke of Lu finished his intention, he said to the end. Although they are all dukes, their own dukes are too far from the Huo family. At present, they have to ask for others, and naturally they should be full of sincerity. Besides, the Huo family has never had much contact with the nobles. They take the liberty to come to the door. Of course, they want to express themselves.

The Duke of the Protector said, "Why is the world so out of sight? When we were young, we went hunting together in the suburbs of Beijing. I think we were really bad at the beginning..."

The Duke of Protector seemed to not understand his intention at all, and he talked about the old things of his childhood. It turned out to be an hour, and the tea continued several times, but I didn't see him turn the topic around the recent matter.

The Duke of Lu complained incessantly. Seeing that it was getting late at night, he gritted his teeth and took advantage of him to raise his glass to moisten his throat and said, "The Duke of Lu, I have something important to ask for when I come today. I have been ordered to investigate the brothel. I hope the Duke of State to

After the Duke of Protector sighed for the tea, he said, "Of course, the emperor told you what to do. If you really don't understand, you can ask His Royal Highness. Now His Royal Highness is supervising the country. It's always right to listen to him.

Although he did not clearly tell him how to do it, the Duke of Lu was also like a Mao Sai. Indeed, there was a prince in the country in addition to the emperor! At present, the emperor is ill, so he should ask His Royal Highness. Why did he forget this?

At present, he said to the end: "Little brother, thank you for your call! Come back to the prince for tea some other day, and I'll say goodbye!"

The Duke of Protector caught him with one hand, pointed to the jade Buddha and said, "Take it back!"

The Duke of Lu broke free of his arm, laughed and said "a little meaning" and slipped away.

The Lord Protector watched him go away. When he returned to the inner room, Yin Yu was still sitting in front of the chessboard and meditating.

Seeing him coming back, he smiled and said, "The Duke of Lu must have come for the emperor's order to investigate the inn."

The Duke of Hu raised his eyebrows and sat down, looked at the chess game, picked up a black man and fell down, and said, "Ji Zhenyuan has done too much about this matter, and the emperor may not know it. This is in our favor.

Yin Yu frowned, "I don't think it was made by Ji Zhenyuan."

"Oh?" The Protector raised his eyebrows, dropped another son, and said, "How can I see it?"

Yin Yu saw the place where Bai Zi was put down, ate his slap, and then said, "If Ji Zhenyuan did this to cover Xie Rong, he didn't have to make such a big battle at all. It is precisely because the battle is too big that I don't think it should be done by an old fox like him.

The Duke of Protector stared at the blank space eaten by him and said depressedly for half a day, "In addition to Ji Zhenyuan and our faction, there were also some people in the court you mentioned last time. Did you find out?"

"Luo Qi is dead." Yin Yu frowned, "Yesterday, it was found that the body was abandoned in his own room. His body was covered with scars, and he was much thinner. His tongue was broken. He should have been tortured and died after being tortured. It seems that it can be inferred that the people who took Luo Qi away at the beginning also want to know who is behind Luo Qi, and it is likely that they still haven't asked the result this time, otherwise Luo Qi will not kill himself.

The Duke of Protector threw away his son and was not in the mood to go on. "The deeper this person hides, the greater the conspiracy. Now we don't know what they are for!" RS
