Chapter 87: throw away

"Zheng Shangshu is really old and confused. The general begged for a rest, and all the papers came down, but he still pleaded for the Yongyi Hou Mansion in public during the cabinet meeting yesterday. Who doesn't know that the Holy Majesty is angry now? He really didn't see it clearly. The situation. No, it caused the sage Longyan to be furious. It doesn't matter if he suffers alone, but all the colleagues present are worried with him, alas..."

Chen Ying let out a long sigh.

After sighing, he couldn't help but look at Xie Wei's expression on the other side.

This is in Xie Mansion.

Disputes arose during the cabinet discussion yesterday afternoon, which almost caused a major incident. But at that time, Xie Wei seemed to have gone to Fengchen Palace to teach some female students, and he was not in the pavilion, so he was not involved in the incident.

Chen Ying couldn't help but wonder if there was any mystery in it.

Therefore, taking advantage of the fact that I don't have to go to court early today, I took the time to hand over the name card, came to pay my respects to Xie Wei, narrated the affairs of the cabinet yesterday, and probed into the tone of this young teacher.

Although Xie Weiren was not around, the matter was clear.

The **** who came to the side hall of Fengchen Hall had already reported the situation.

Hearing Chen Ying's words, he didn't look very surprised, he just said: "It is precisely because Zheng Shangshu will beg for a divorce in the year of the year, and the booklets have all come down, and people who have half of their bodies buried in the ground have fewer worries than others, so they dare to Doing this kind of thing. If it were someone else, I might have to worry about wearing it on the head and wearing a ribbon around the waist. Although the Holy Majesty is angry, he has to guard against the rumors of the world, so as not to do anything to Zheng Shangshu."

What is the difference between saying this and not saying it?

Of course Chen Ying knew why the old man Zheng Shangshu dared to speak so much.

Can…

He looked a little embarrassed, looked at Xie Wei and said: "But Zheng Shangshu has been imprisoned, can he still be released?"

Xie Wei smiled: "It depends on Mr. Chen and the former subordinates of the Ministry of Punishment."

Chen Ying was thoughtful.

Xie Wei said indifferently: "The Holy Majesty also misses the old love. Zheng Shangshu devoted half his life to the court, openly offending the Holy Majesty during the cabinet discussions. If he is not imprisoned, everyone will follow suit. How can the majesty of the emperor exist? But sometimes There is still a step to go down when you go up the steps. Besides, Mr. Chen and other colleagues from the Ministry of Justice are all former subordinates of Zheng Shangshu, and it is obvious to all to see how Zheng Shangshu behaves. The indifference and warmth of human relationships are all in the middle of this thought."

Walking in the officialdom, who doesn't want to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages?

Simply relying on the word "benevolence and righteousness" will not go far.

Chen Ying always cared about other people's life and death, and only focused on thinking about what the people above thought. Hearing Xie Wei's words, his heart was slightly awed, and he understood the meaning of Xie Wei's words: Although the emperor sent Zheng Shangshu to the big prison, But I also want to see the reaction of other people in the court to this matter; moreover, Zheng Shangshu is his boss, he has been Zheng Shangshu's subordinate for many years, and even the position of servant was promoted by Zheng Shangshu, if here When things got worse, other people might not say anything, but secretly felt that he was cold-hearted and secretly alienated; what's more, the new minister, Gu Chunfang, was about to take office, so I'm afraid he had to look at the character of the people under him.

The new official took office with three fires.

How do you know that the fire doesn't burn yourself?

As soon as Chen Ying thought about this, he became clear, and knew that Xie Wei would soon enter the palace to give lectures, so he didn't dare to bother him too much, so he stood up and bowed respectfully, "Thank you, sir, for your guidance."

Xie Weiping was very calm: "Master Chen is thoughtful and thoughtful, and he will be able to think of it in time. It's too serious."

Chen Ying knew that these words were just polite.

The so-called "taking time" means that sooner or later, some things are wrong if they are not done sooner. The most powerful thing about Xie Wei, perhaps, is that when everything just happened, he had an insight into the situation, knew it well, held the chess in his hand, and planned a strategy.

He smiled, did not refute, and bowed again before taking his leave.

Jianshu who was standing by the side bowed slightly when he passed by, but when he watched the figure of this person disappear at the end of the corridor, he frowned tightly and said to Xie Wei: "This Mr. Chen is really shrewd. I have to ask you clearly before leaving. I have come to ask you for everything. One is that he is really cautious, and the other is that he may also have the intention of showing favor to you. It is said that he is obedient to the master. But when he returned to the palace last time He didn't handle this matter properly. You clearly told him to be him, but when someone from the palace came to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to ask for it, he brought along Zhang Zhe, the head of the Department of Officials who was very good at investigating cases. It was obvious that the two parties did not want to offend. I want to do what you told me to do, but I don't want to be involved in it, like a grass that will fall at any time."

It was about the incident where Ning Er was framed.

Xie Wei has seen the evil of people's hearts for many years, and he doesn't feel any surprise. Chen Ying did what he expected, but it was unexpected if he didn't do this. Instead, let him think about it. Is there something wrong with me.

After all, who in the world can not weigh the pros and cons?

So he just said: "I know whether this person can be trusted or not."

After finishing speaking, he put down the teacup in his hand, got up, and walked back to his Qinqin Hall from the usual reception hall.

There was someone in the hall.

If Chen Yingfang had just come here to meet, I'm afraid he couldn't help but wonder: How could the owner of the Jingzhong Youhuang Pavilion appear here at such an early morning?

Lu Xian stayed overnight at Xie's Mansion yesterday, he just woke up and was yawning and wasting Xie Wei's good tea.

The best Dahongpao has been brewed three times.

Seeing Xie Wei coming in, he smiled: "It's just in time to come back, and I can catch up with a good time. Then Chen Shilang sent away?"

Xie Wei, however, walked to the empty wall, stood still, raised his hand to pinch his brows tightly, and showed a trace of tiredness in the corners of his eyes, and said: "The emperor is afraid of the Marquis Mansion, the one who hates it. It's also the Hou's Mansion. Anyone who comes up to speak for the Hou's Mansion will poke the emperor's spine. He may not do anything to these courtiers, but this account must be charged to the Hou's Mansion."

Lu Xian's eyelids twitched: "Isn't Zheng Shangshu one of us?"

Xie Wei lowered his eyes slightly: "Someone must put the Marquis Mansion to death."

All kinds of things that happened after Pingnan Wang Nidang appeared in Beijing all came out of his mind, and one by one, they became more and more clear.

It's just that the clearer it is, the heavier the hostility surging in the chest.

He stretched his fingers lightly, covered his eyelids and half of his face, and suddenly called out: "Jianshu!"

Jianshu followed him to the Qinqin Hall, but he didn't enter the door, he just waited by the door, and immediately said: "Here."

Xie Wei said: "Immediately send people to Fengtai and Tongzhou camps, and keep an eye on the post roads. It doesn't matter if you send letters to the city. Anyone who sends letters into the city will be intercepted. Don't even let anyone who enters the city! If you can figure it out Those who spread the news of the incident in the Yongyi Hou's Mansion will be arrested if they can, and killed if they can't."

This voice is already cold and fierce.

Lu Xian felt a chill in his heart.

Jianshu was ordered to go, but hesitated for a moment, but hesitantly asked: "Ruo, if the person who wants to enter the city is a member of the sect..."

"..."

Xie Wei's finger resting on his face slowly slid down, but the air of swordsmanship stained on the corners of his eyes and brows gradually became colder. After a long silence, he said in a low voice: "Everyone should be killed first."

Morning mist floated in the courtyard.

There is still the fragrance of tea in the Qinqin Hall.

However, Jianshu at this moment only felt that the cold air of the deep winter had invaded and penetrated into the body in advance, and penetrated into the crevices of human bones, and before he knew it, it was a death scene!

He took a deep look at Xie Wei, but he finally knew that there was no room for Mr. Xie to change this matter, so he restrained all his thoughts and bowed to accept the order to retreat.

But Lu Xian couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

He looked at Xie Wei, and it was rare that he was not as relaxed as usual joking: "Is the situation in the teaching already so unbearable?"

Xie Wei closed his eyes and said: "He is getting older, he can't wait, and Gongyicheng has always been against me. After I go to Beijing, the Jinling matter will be beyond my reach. If he doesn't take the opportunity to plot, his reputation will be ruined." The world is not chaotic, and the teachings are not passed on. The Yongyi Hou Mansion is very strict in governing the army, and has a high reputation among the people. Once the design of the dynasty forces the Hou Mansion into a desperate situation, and the emperor fears to take action to eliminate it, the court will lose the hearts of the people. Teaching talents can make a comeback. Not to mention that the Marquis of Yongyi controls three points of the military power in the world. Both the Fengtai and Tongzhou camps have heavy troops stationed there, and Xiang is led by the Marquis. If someone takes this opportunity to spread news to stir up the morale of the army and cause mutiny in the army..."

This is taboo for kings.

At that time, no matter whether the Yongyi Hou's mansion is innocent or not, I'm afraid they will not be able to escape the crime of exterminating the nine clans!

Lu Xian could also think of this point.

only…

He actually wanted to say that if something really happened to Yongyi Hou's mansion, it might not be a good thing. After all, the court lost the hearts of the people, the emperor lost the hearts of his ministers, and the Fengtai and Tongzhou camps could take advantage of the opportunity to win over the troops. As long as the banner of returning the Marquis's mansion to innocence and crusading against the faint emperor is beaten, the former Yongyihou's mansion may come to vote.

In this way, sacrificing a marquis mansion can bring about the overall situation.

But here at Xie Wei, things seem to be unusual.

He didn't know the pros and cons of it, and he didn't dare to speak nonsense, so after looking at Xie Wei for a long time, he finally didn't say anything, but said: "Where did you send the saber and piano? I found out that You Fangyin wanted to see Ren Wei today. Chi, there is a lack of someone to listen to and listen to."

Xie Wei glanced at him and frowned: "Daoqin is not free."

Lu Xian immediately stared.

Xie Wei reminded him lightly: "You are too persistent about You Fangyin."

Lu Xian didn't take it seriously at all, and snorted, rather preoccupied: "It's shameful enough for me, Lu Zhaoyin, to lose to you Xie Wei in the entrance examination to become an official. In business, you study hard, ask yourself the timing, and calculate favors. After all, it is impossible for you, Xie Wei, to go into business, and I never thought that anyone would overwhelm me in this way. When I was in raw silk, I was caught first. Can you bear this tone?"

Xie Wei remained expressionless: "I can."

Lu Xian: "..."

Can this **** have a good chat and talk about things!

He wanted to refute, but after carefully thinking about Xie Wei's life these years, he didn't have the confidence to speak up, and finally waved his hand and said angrily: "It doesn't matter, if you don't borrow people, don't borrow them, I can't go by myself. Have you checked? You Fangyin is a little girl, I, Lu Zhaoyin, can easily catch him!"

After finishing speaking, he drank the cup of tea he was holding in one gulp, and walked straight out of the Qinqin Hall.

Xie Wei didn't stop him either.

After Lu Xian walked to the gate of the courtyard, he looked back and saw that the surname Xie was already facing the wall again, and he couldn't help but secretly cursed: "Grandma, I really don't want to stop me! Okay, it's ruthless. This time I have to deal with it." It’s beautiful, let’s take a look!”

After scolding, he snorted, backed his hands, waved his fan, and went out into the street.

Shuxiang Inn is still the same.

Lu Xian thought about going to talk to Ren Weizhi first, so as to find out who else wanted to buy this stock. Unexpectedly, he just stepped into the door of the inn with his front foot, and when he looked up with his back foot, he saw You Fangyin standing over there talking to the shopkeeper.

Well, the enemy's road is narrow.

Hearing that Ren Weizhi received another sum of money recently, Lu Xian checked secretly, and it turned out to be from the Qingyuan uncle's mansion, and it seems to be from Miss You Er in the back house. And during that time, he happened to see You Fangyin in this inn.

This time, he was a little confused.

Could it be that the matter of raw silk last time was indeed led by the Bofu, and this insignificant concubine was just a **** sent by the Bofu?

Thinking of this, Lu Xian put on a smile on his face, wearing a long gown is quite refined, he stepped forward to bow to You Fangyin, and said: "I met a girl here last time, I heard that the girl is also in contact with Mr. Ren, and today the fate has come, so I will meet again. I will also find Mr. Ren, why not go?"

You Fangyin was startled for a moment.

She is still living in prison now, and the last time You Yue entered the Yamen with her was not a glorious thing, so You Fu didn't say anything about it. On the other hand, she waited until You Yue had already entered the palace, and then picked a suitable day to ask Zhou Yinzhi to release her, and prepare to do what Jiang Xuening told her.

She did not expect to meet Lu Xian.

I didn't even expect the other party to take the initiative to strike up a conversation.

Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Lu Xian asked again tentatively: "Miss?"

You Fangyin just came back to her senses, but she was cautious and cautious. She didn't know the details of this person's identity, nor did she know what this person's intentions were. What's more, she met Ren Weizhi today, and she had other things to say, which was inconvenient Others are present.

So she lowered her head and said, "I'm not familiar with you, so go by yourself."

"..."

Lu Xian has been in the business field for a long time, and he hasn't heard anyone reject him with such a straightforward reason for a long time.

unfamiliar...

His smile was a little stiff: "The girl is right."

You Fangyin lowered her eyebrows and didn't dare to say much, she just bowed to him as a salute, then thanked the shopkeeper next to her, and went upstairs with her head buried.

Lu Xian could only watch from below.

The more You Fangyin walked up, the more nervous she became, and when she reached De Ren Weizhi's door, she took a deep breath and closed her eyes to concentrate, and when she opened her eyes again, she was determined, knocked on the door and said, "Is Mr. Ren there? "

Ren Weizhi has been in the inn these days.

Because money has already come in, and some people are willing to contribute money to dry stocks, he gradually has the hope of returning to Sichuan to revive his family's saltworks, so looking at him these days, he is no longer so haggard, and his brows and eyes are a little brighter.

At first glance, he looked a little handsome.

He smiled and invited You Fangyin to come in: "I didn't go out after receiving the news yesterday, and I just waited here. I didn't expect Miss You to come so early."

You Fangyin went inside and sat down.

She directly took out two things from her sleeve and put them on the table: two silver bills totaling 10,000 taels were placed on the left, and a thin sheet of paper with birthday and date written on it was placed on the right.

Ren Weizhi was stunned when he saw it.

He said: "Miss You today..."

You Fangyin said: "I'll pay for the shares."

Ren Weizhi's heart skipped a beat, and he almost immediately wanted to say that ten thousand taels would be enough, but looking at You Fangyin's expression, it seemed that it was not that simple, he hesitated for a while, and then he didn't make a sound.

Sure enough, You Fang Yin said: "But I have two conditions."

Ren Wei Zhisu said: "Girl, please tell me."

You Fangyin sat upright opposite him, and said: "First, the dry stock I invested in must be written in the contract that it can be transferred to others, and you have no right to interfere."

Ren Weizhi frowned, but then let go.

He said: "It is already very difficult for others to contribute money. If the girl is willing to contribute money, I can invest the money in the saltworks. How the dry stocks will be distributed in the future makes no difference to me. Although there seems to be no precedent in the business field , but it’s not impossible.”

This is promised.

You Fangyin nodded.

Ren Weizhi said, "What about the second one?"

You Fangyin folded his hands in front of him, lowered his eyes slightly, and remained silent for a moment, then raised his head, looked directly at him, and said, "Secondly, marry me."

Ren Weizhi: "..."

Sitting opposite You Fangyin, looking at this pretty girl, he was stunned.

Lu Xian is good at everything, and his intelligence is first-rate, but his temper is slightly bad.

Don't want to stay behind in everything.

Before Xie Wei left the mansion to enter the palace, after thinking about it, he still gave Jianshu a sentence, saying: "Lv Zhaoyin's actions are deviant, and the general situation in Beijing is in chaos, so where is the time to take care of You Fangyin? When Daoqin comes back, I'd better listen to it temporarily." Lv Zhaoyin orders, so that he will not worry about his work all day long."

Jianshu laughed and replied: "Yes."

Only then did Xie Wei put down the curtain of the car, and entered the palace by car.

Although there are classes today, there are no lectures on the feast day, and there are no big court discussions, so the time to enter the palace is a little later.

When he arrived at Fengchen Hall, Wang Jiugang, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, left after speaking about calligraphy.

Everyone is resting and playing around.

Zhou Baoying quietly slipped out of the hall and hid behind the thick pillars, with a smile on her face and bright eyes, she took out a small oil paper bag from her sleeve.

It was bulging inside, filled with things.

She opened it carefully, counted it, and then sighed: "The more you eat, the less you eat, but you can't ask Sister Ning to give me a little more, that's too much..."

Xie Wei saw this scene when he walked over, because he probably knew that this little girl from Mr. Zhou's family loves to eat very much, so he didn't pay attention at all.

But the next moment Zhou Baoying actually took out a sliced ​​peach cake from the oil paper bag.

Xie Wei stopped in his footsteps.

Zhou Baoying took a sip, and with lowered eyes, she suddenly saw a corner of a green Taoist robe appearing under the steps in front of her. before.

She was so frightened that she immediately took down the half of the peach cake still dangling from her mouth.

He greeted Xie Wei solemnly: "Mr. Xie is good."

Xie Wei's eyes fell on her hands, and also on the oil paper bag, and smiled at her gently: "Did the palace also make peach cake yesterday?"

His eyebrows and eyes are clear, and his smile is even more like the distant mountains dyed ink.

Zhou Baoying suddenly became less nervous. Although she had little contact with Xie Wei except for going to school, she somehow felt that Mr. Xie was an easy-going person, so she also smiled and said happily: "It seems that I didn't do it. But sister Ning has it, and my peach slice cake was given by sister Ning, it is delicious! It is better than the ones made in the palace before, and it is even better than the one brought by Rongrong last time!"

Xie Wei looked at her peacefully: "Is it so delicious?"

Zhou Baoying nodded vigorously: "Of course!"

She looked at Xie Wei, then at the few sliced ​​peach cakes left in her oiled paper bag, remembered her parents' instruction, bit her lip, and seemed to have made up her mind to pass the opened oiled paper bag to Xie Wei : "Would you like to try it?"

The smile on Xie Wei's lips deepened, and he said, "Then let's try it."

He raised his hand and took the paper bag over.

Zhou Baoying suddenly opened her eyes wide, looking at her empty little hands, her small mouth also opened slightly, as if she wanted to say something.

Xie Wei said softly: "What?"

At this moment, a strange chill crawled up from behind, Zhou Baoying looked at the smiling face in front of her, and for some reason remembered those **** monsters painted on the wall in the temple.

But this is also an illusion for a moment.

She became a little dazed, and wanted to say, "I just ask you to take a piece to taste, I don't want to give you all", but when the words came to her mouth, she was embarrassed to say it, being watched by Mr. Xie's gentle eyes, He could only scratch his head, and said with some reluctance: "It's nothing."

Xie Wei held the paper bag with his slender fingers and turned around.

At the moment when he turned his back, all expressions disappeared from his face.

He entered the side hall.

Immediately, the little **** outside came in to arrange the tea sets and set up the stove to boil water.

Xie Wei put the paper bag containing the sliced ​​peach cake on the table and sat quietly for a long time.

The little **** bowed and said, "Young master, the imperial dining room has made new cakes today, should I tell them not to bring them?"

Xie Wei narrowed his eyes and did not speak.

The little **** was a little trembling.

After a long time, Xie Wei pointed to the paper bag on the table and said calmly, "You don't need to prepare it in the future, just throw this thing away."
