Accumulate Wealth in Life

Shuzi Gaomen (53)

After two rains, it cooled down in the morning and evening. It is hot for two hours a day, and at other times, it will not make people feel the heat is unbearable. Especially at night, the mat should be put away and wait for next year.

Tonight, Lin Fanghua is very happy, because the emperor did not leave as usual. But after taking a shower, lie down on the couch. She carefully looked at the emperor's face and slowly leaned over.

"Your Majesty!" She called out softly, and put her hand on the emperor's chest. Seeing that he was not pushed away, he boldly put his head on the emperor's shoulder again, "Your Majesty! Are you not leaving tonight?"

Emperor Yongkang abruptly opened his eyes and gave a faint 'um', here, at least his heart is not tired.

The queen is very good, but in front of the queen, he is almost like seeing a minister. She didn't dare to let her know about anything, and after a long time of pretending, who wouldn't be tired. Coupled with the Queen's temperament, he is really not commensurate. After a long time, he has no idea of ​​getting close to the Queen. The two have been married for more than ten years, but they are still strangers.

As for the Gan family, compared with the queen, it can only be said that it is better! With her, you can see each other calmly. She's seen the nastiest, worst side of herself, but she's too smart. I'm afraid that her good idea is wrapped in poison | medicine that she didn't notice. But he knew that this woman was poisonous, so he couldn't help but keep her by his side.

"Your Majesty." Lin Fanghua looked at Emperor Yongkang's expression and asked with a light smile, "Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Thinking what? Even if she said it, this stupid woman would not understand.

Emperor Yongkang retracted his thoughts and said with a chuckle, "You have served well. If you want anything, I will reward you."

Lin Fanghua's eyes suddenly lit up: "You are serious!"

"You have no jokes." Emperor Yongkang closed his eyes again. I don't know if it's because of the headache and dizziness, or because I don't want to see Lin Fanghua's face. This woman, when she was young, was not a great beauty, but now, at her age, there is no way to compare with that young and beautiful. Sometimes, when I think about it, I feel that I am wronged by the emperor. What kind of wealth can be in the world, even the beggars on the street can experience the happiness, but I can't understand it myself.

Lin Fanghua sat up and stroked Emperor Yongkang's chest: "You are busy on weekdays, and you don't have much time to accompany your concubine. The concubine is not young anymore, and the most fearful thing is loneliness. The concubines who were left behind by the late emperor couldn't be busy with their lawsuits. Concubine Chen did not know what she was busy with, and she didn't seem to be at leisure. She was also an idler. Your Majesty, as I told you before, I think adopt a child……"

Emperor Yongkang opened his eyes, this woman, I thought it would take some effort to get her to bring up this topic again. I didn't expect to be so courageous. I just rejected it last time, so I gave a little face and put it up again.

Lin Fanghua shrank for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, is it okay?"

Emperor Yongkang nodded: "Then take it over and keep it."

"Really?" Lin Fanghua's eyes widened in an instant, and the emperor agreed so easily. She was a little surprised. I finally took the first step. With a grandson in his name, he will definitely turn him into a grandson in the next step. After becoming the grandson, the prince, the queen, and the **** of the Gan family will all go to hell.

Emperor Yongkang nodded without saying a word.

Lin Fanghua kissed Emperor Yongkang's chest all at once, and drew a circle with his hand on his chest. Then move down little by little.

Emperor Yongkang slammed Lin Fanghua's hand away, followed by a push, "It's an inch!"

Lin Fanghua once again saw Emperor Yongkang's moodiness. This time, she didn't dare to be obsessed, and just quietly watched the emperor get dressed on the bed, and then strode away.

But in my heart, I can't help but guess, why is the emperor? Why is temper so elusive?

Early in the morning, Mrs. Chu received a message from the palace and asked her to enter the palace to greet her.

This is a little weird.

Mammy Bai pulled the little **** who was sending the message, stuffed a purse and asked in a low voice, "Little Eunuch, I don't know which master called you?"

If it was the queen, the person who sent it was obviously wrong. But if it was Concubine Chen, why would she summon her master? Is it because of what made it difficult for the fourth young grandmother before? How long has it been since then? Besides, Fourth Young Grandma doesn't eat dry rice either. No loss at all. It's okay if you don't suffer, and also put your own wife together. Now, what is the reputation of his wife. These ladies in the royal family don't like to deal with their own ladies anymore. She had offended the eldest Princess Wenhui before. Now, the fourth young lady has become a princess, and there is another princess among the offenders. Madam is really angry and can't sleep night after night. It just feels like nothing is going right. Now, if Concubine Chen is still unrelenting, the master is afraid that he will be really angry and get sick.

Madam Chu barely managed to keep her face from showing anger. She also guessed that the one who troubled her should be Concubine Chen.

But he didn't want the little **** to be very tight-lipped, so he just giggled: "Madam, you'll know when you go."

The Empress would not be secretive, and Concubine Chen would not be able to do so. Both of them are qualified to summon the wife of destiny. There are also regulations on what grade of eunuchs should be used when going out of the palace to spread the word. Could it be Li Cairen who is so reckless?

But it seems that he has no friendship with Li Cairen, right?

With such a guess, Madam Chu entered the palace suspiciously. When she saw Lin Fanghua dressed up in the palace, Madam Chu was immediately frightened: "You...you..." Aren't you dead?

The feeling of seeing a ghost in the daytime made Madam Chu back several steps in fright before she stood firm with the help of Mammy Bai. Pointing at Lin Fanghua: "You...you're not dead! Why are you here?"

Lin Fanghua looked at Madam Chu and showed a cool smile at first, which made Madam Chu's heart think of four words - the villain's ambition.

Mammy Bai looked at Lin Fanghua, who was dressed as a palace and a concubine, and whispered in Madam Chu's ear: "Master, be careful. This is Li Cairen! People are similar, that's all!"

Chu's complexion changed, and he couldn't help but look at Lin Fanghua again.

Lin Fanghua showed a smile: "Look, it's better for a servant to understand."

As soon as Madam Chu heard this voice, she felt a little more confident in her heart. She only owes the body, a small talented person, who really does not have the qualifications to receive the courtesy of the lady of her country.

Lin Fanghua's expression changed slightly before he smiled again: "Madam, please take a seat."

People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. Madam Chu glanced at Lin Fanghua before sitting down on the stone bench.

This is a pavilion in the Royal Garden, surrounded by flowers, and it is also a good place to enjoy the scenery.

Lin Fanghua sent all the servants away, and then looked at Madam Chu seriously: "We had some misunderstandings before, but it was all for the sake of the children. You are for your son, and I am also for my daughter. Today, I am looking for my wife for the sake of the two. a child's matter."

Mrs. Chu's face suddenly turned ugly. "Don't mention the matter of picking two rooms on one shoulder. It's been more than half a year since the marriage. What's the point of bringing it up again? How do you say it to the outside world? I don't have that face!"

Lin Fanghua sneered: "You have the final say whether you want to change your mind after listening to my words." A smug smile appeared on her face, "The emperor has promised me that he will choose a child from the royal family to be adopted under my lap, For grandchildren..."

Madam Chu looked at Lin Fanghua in amazement, "What does this mean?"

"I mean, Madam, don't you understand yet?" Lin Fanghua pointed at Madam Chu, "I heard that my niece gave birth to a son. So this child is also related to me by blood. But this is the only point. No, he is a concubine after all. If this is recorded in Duo’er’s name, then this is my grandson. Since he is related by blood and is a grandson in name, I naturally choose this child. Madam is a sensible person. Come here, many things will be difficult to say in the future. The future of this child is not what you can imagine. "

Lin Fanghua's voice was a little low. But this deep voice seemed to have magic power, and the bewitched Chu shi's heart was beating wildly, "The talented person wants to adopt Brother Yuan?"

"Yeah! What? Madam can't bear it?" Lin Fanghua smiled, "I know that once this child is recorded in Duo'er's name, the relationship with the prince will be further away. The biological father becomes an uncle..."

Only then did Mrs. Chu understand what Lin Fanghua meant, but she still had to force herself to agree to pick two rooms on one shoulder.

She is very enthusiastic about sending her grandson to the palace for career advancement. But Qi Duo'er was reluctant to respond, "I can't promise this talent right now, it can only be decided after discussing it with our grandfather."

Lin Fanghua smiled: "Madam, this is not for you to discuss. It's just that I can make the emperor's order." She said, and leaned towards Madam Chu, "Think about it, this child wants to succeed. , we have to rely on Duke Jin's residence and the Chu family to support us. The closer our relationship is, the easier it will be for things to happen. Do you think this is the truth?" After speaking, she stood up, "Okay. Come on! Mrs. Chu, I'd like to trouble you for a trip today. Come back! I don't think you'll ask me to wait for a long time, and you will definitely give me a reply as soon as possible."

Madam Chu stood up and watched Lin Fanghua rush away. She couldn't tell how she felt.

Mammy Bai supported Madam Chu's arm: "Madam, go back first."

But as soon as he entered the house, Liu Wu quickly greeted him and said in a low voice, "Madam, Master is back."

Shou filial piety is half, just run back like this... It must have come back secretly.

The Chu family held the hand of the white mammy, and suddenly tightened: "Now what? Where is the person?"

"In the main courtyard." As soon as Liu Wu finished speaking, Mrs. Chu went to the main courtyard with a breeze.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see that in the flower hall of the main courtyard, everyone in the family is almost there.

Lin Yutong and Fourth Master sat opposite Jin Shouren and Chu Huaiyu, both of them holding tea, neither of them said a word. In fact, being invited by Jin Chengan so solemnly to attend the secret family meeting, Lin Yutong was quite surprised.

Jin Chengan is actually a very elusive person. He invited Lin Yutong so generously, as if he didn't take you as an outsider, but Lin Yutong felt that he couldn't control him.

The Chu family looked at Jin Chengan in confusion, smiled stiffly, then sat down in his seat and said in a low voice, "What's wrong?

Jin Chengan shook his head: "Something happened, I'll come back and deal with it." Then he immediately changed the subject, "I'm entering the palace today, what's going on? There are no outsiders here, and everything will be poured out, and everyone will take a look. "

The Chu family glanced at Lin Yutong and the fourth master before turning his head and saying to Jin Chengan, "It's okay! Just please be safe..."

Lin Yutong raised his eyebrows: "If it's inconvenient, I'll..."

Before he finished speaking, Jin Chengan waved his hand: "Your Highness, sit down. At home, I have nothing to hide from you." He said to Lin Yutong, and turned to look at Chu's eyes with a bit of sternness, "Why? Not good to speak?"

This is the steps for the Chu family, telling her to go down the **** and forget it.

The corner of Chu's mouth moved, and she looked at Qi Duo'er: "Li Cairen in the palace has some relationship with the second daughter-in-law..." She said, closing her eyes and saying, "What the talented person means, take Yuan Geer Put it in the name of the second daughter-in-law, and in the future, it will be the son of Ren'er and Qi's... The emperor will adopt Brother Yuan..."

These words were half-concealed, and people couldn't react for a while.

Li Cairen in the palace has a relationship with Qi Duoer. What is the relationship?

Brother Yuan is placed under the name of Qi Duoer, what does this mean?

But these words are not important to everyone, the important thing is the last sentence, the emperor wants to adopt!

Jin Chengan's eyes flashed for a moment. The emperor had promised this before, but he said that he was the son of the fourth son. In fact, which grandson he adopts is the same to him. But it happened to meet the filial piety of the family and the country again. Even if the fourth and the couple are about to give birth, it is uncertain when they will give birth to a grandson. Children are not meant to be born. Besides, who can guarantee that he will be a grandson from birth. If you really tell yourself to wait blindly, you really don't know if you have to wait until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse. Now there is a Li Cairen, and the one to be adopted is the son of the eldest son, which is of course the best. The emperor really hates the prince to get rid of it and then quickly. Now I don't do it because I don't want to do it myself. And holding his grandson, doesn't he just hope that he can once again become a knife in his hand and pull the prince down?

Waiting for the grandson to become the grandson, coupled with his own power over the years, to directly support the grandson... Wouldn't this be justifiable to change the name?

The room was quiet, and Chu Huaiyu suddenly said, "My mother-in-law didn't quite understand what my daughter-in-law said just now. Brother Yuan is the son of the Shizi and Qi's. How do you say this?"

Lin Yutong glanced at Chu Huaiyu with a sullen face. This is really what everyone hears is different. Chu Huaiyu only heard the part that was closely related to her. She turned to look at Qi Duo'er who was sitting in the bottom seat, and saw that she glanced at Jin Shouren from time to time with a shy face, and then lowered her head again.

The atmosphere in the room was a little awkward.

Jin Chengan looked at Jin Shouren, "What do you say?" Chu's words were very vague, but the meaning was very clear. This is to bring old things back to life.

Jin Shouren glanced at Chu Huaiyu: "What do I think, it's not important, it's all trivial matters. The key is to see what the palace thinks. If it's really what the palace means, I won't be in any trouble here. It's about the family. The future...it's just..." After saying that, he looked at Qi Duoer again, "It's just that I have to be wronged..." The second younger brother and sister, this title, can't be called out now.

Chu Huaiyu was so disgusted by this gesture that she sneered and stood up, "You agree, but I don't." She looked at Madam Chu with a mocking expression, "You are really good to me. Aunt! What did you say when you came to the door? Now that you have concubines and concubines, you’re still not happy? It’s a disgusting panic!” After speaking, she raised her feet and walked out, “Qingping, pack your things, Let's go back to Chu's house!"

"Stop!" Jin Shouren's face flushed, "You go out of the gate today, and you will never come back in your life." The Chu family wanted to marry the prince, and his son was going to adopt and be the grandson. If the attitude of the Chu family is still the same, it will ruin the big thing.

Chu Huaiyu pouted, chuckled lightly, and walked away without any hesitation.

Lin Yutong immediately realized the importance of the Chu family to Jin Chengan before. Otherwise, Chu Huaiyu would not be so arrogant.

"Father, look at her!" Jin Shouren was embarrassed by his daughter-in-law in public, and his face was a little embarrassed, "She looks like this..." But when he turned around, he had to go to the Chu family to beg her in a low voice. "She looks like this, where is the material to be a clan's wife! I don't know what the big picture is at all."

"Okay!" Jin Chengan waved to Jin Shouren, "Go and stop your daughter-in-law first, and teach your son in person, but you don't understand the reasoning behind teaching your daughter-in-law."

When Jin Shouren saw Jin Chengan's eyes, he immediately understood. Now he can't make it public, and he can't be extravagant.

Lin Yutong noticed that when Jin Shouren went out, a little girl also went out. If the guess is correct, this little girl is afraid that she also has some skills. Chu Huaiyu wanted to leave the Duke's Mansion, but it was not so easy.

Jin Chengan retracted his gaze, turned his head and asked the Fourth Master, "What do you think?"

The fourth master looked at Lin Yutong, and then said: "Father, don't worry, the princess has the same meaning with me. This is a good thing for our house."

Jin Chengan's eyes suddenly lit up. If Lin Yutong's attitude was support, some problems would be much simpler. Concubine Chen will not make trouble, and only the prince is left.

Lin Yutong nodded at Jin Chengan: "I listen to our master."

Jin Chengan was relieved. Even if it is a princess, as long as the fourth child can handle it, then all this is not a problem. He couldn't help showing a smile on his face, and praised the fourth master: "You are better than your big brother."

At least when it comes to handling his daughter-in-law, the eldest's ability is really shameful.

Fourth Master choked, he really didn't want to compare in this regard. Seeing that Mr. Chu, who was sitting on the side, looked bad, the fourth master pulled Lin Yutong to get up, "There are some things..." He looked at Qi Duo'er in a meaningful way, "It's more appropriate to say it in private."

Seeing Lin Yutong get up, Jin Cheng'an and the Chu family also got up, just send them out respectfully.

Looking back, Chu looked at Qi Duo'er with a complicated expression.

Lin Yutong and the fourth master passed by the gate of the Shiziyuan, and from a distance, they could still hear the noise inside. The two looked at each other and knew that the end of the Chu family was a little closer on the day when Jin Chengan secretly returned.

In the evening, Chu Yuan, dressed in a black cloak, entered Duke Jin's mansion.

Jin Chengan was waiting in the study room, and when he saw Chu Yuan, he hurriedly handed over his hands: "Father-in-law, you have to make a trip to the old man's house at night."

Chu Yuan waved his hand and sat straight up: "Sit down! Sit down and talk."

Jin Chengan's expression changed slightly, and then he calmed down, "I have heard about the incident in the teahouse. What is my father-in-law going to do?"

Chu Yuan shook his head and sighed: "The princess who came from the wrong way won't call me anything. It's just that the real cause is in the emperor's heart. If the emperor really wants to do something, no one can stop him. ?"

Jin Chengan nodded and said tentatively, "If my father-in-law really can't swallow this breath, then let's..."

"No!" Chu Yuan waved his hands again and again, "That little belonging is our last reliance, and we can't easily reveal anything. Now, it's not the end of the world."

Jin Chengan's face showed a bit of apology, "Watching my father-in-law suffer, my heart..."

Chu Yuan was a little relieved: "You are the son-in-law of the old man, and the old man wants to protect you. You can rest assured! How to choose, the old man knows what to do."

Jin Chengan nodded gratefully: "Who does father-in-law want to throw out this time?"

Chu Yuan shook his head immediately, "If you don't make it real, the emperor can't explain it. Since it's a bitter plan, you have to act more real. What do you think of Fang Zhao?"

Fang Zhao, today's official minister! He was also the first person to defect to Chu Yuan.

Today's Minister of Officials is about to reach the age of becoming an official. Fang Zhao will endure for another two years, and he will be the head of the Ministry of Officials! At this time, cutting off such a person is more than cutting off the arm, it is simply cutting off half of the body.

Jin Chengan admired Chu Yuan's decisiveness and ruthlessness: "Alright! The Imperial Ministry is the place where the emperor values ​​the most. The emperor should be satisfied if the seat here is vacated."

Chu Yuan nodded, but a stream of light flashed in his eyes.

Jin Chengan also smiled and slowly lowered his eyelids. The Chu family kept it, it was already tasteless!

At this moment, Lin Yutong and Fourth Master were sitting in Fang Zhao's study.

"His Royal Highness and the concubine came to visit late at night, this minister is really frightened." Fang Zhao poured tea for the two, and then carefully probed: "I don't know what your Highness ordered?"

Fourth Master pointed to the chair on the side: "Sir Fang, sit down. Let's sit down and talk."

Fang Zhao had to sit down full of doubts, his **** taking up only one-third of the chair.

This man is a very cautious man. In the face of the princess who came from the wrong way, she didn't dare to be rude to others.

"Master Fang!" Lin Yutong looked at Fang Zhao with a serious look, "Do you know Xue Heng?"

Fang Zhao's face turned pale all of a sudden, "Why did Your Highness ask... Xue Heng is the cousin of the minister..."

"Cousin?" Lin Yutong narrowed his eyes slightly, "Then let me ask you, if your cousin's name is Xue Heng, who are you?"

Fang Zhao stood down at once: "Chen...Chen...Fang Zhao doesn't understand what the princess means?"

The fourth master put the tea cup heavily on the table, "Fang Zhao, twenty years ago, thirty-eight jinshi of the Bingzi Division. People from Meixian County, Qingzhou. Both parents died when he was a child, and he lived in his aunt's house. This aunt, married To the merchant Xue's family, they gave birth to a son and a daughter. The son's name is Xue Heng, and he is the same age as Fang Zhao. Fang Zhao's appearance follows his father, but Xue Heng follows his uncle. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, this Fang Zhao and Xue Heng Like a pair of twin brothers..."

Fang Zhao's face became paler as he listened, and his breathing became heavier. "Your Highness, Your Highness! It's not what you think. This minister doesn't..."

Just as he was talking, the door of the study was pushed open. A middle-aged man on crutches walked in from outside.

"His Royal Highness, don't make it difficult for cousin." After saying that, he knelt down, "Caomin Xue Heng, I have seen Your Highness."

Lin Yutong looked at Fang Zhao, and then at Xue Heng: "You guys are really... Now the fakes have become real."

Xue Heng kept a large beard and covered his face. At this time, seeing Lin Yutong sighed like this, he said: "Your Highness! Everything about Caomin was given by the Xue family. That day, Caomin returned home after high school, and the road encountered water. The bandit... crippled one leg, and that's how he saved his life. But for more than ten years, he studied hard in the cold window, and he couldn't see it go to waste. The kindness of the Xue family, what can the grass people get in return. That's why I exchanged it with my cousin. From then on, he is Fang Zhao, and I am Xue Heng."

The fourth master said, "He can't be an official, but you can. So, you hid your identity and became a counselor beside the fake Fang Zhao."

Lin Yutong sighed, and really admired the two of them, who played double reeds for 20 years. She looked at Xue Heng's lame leg and said, "I heard that Mrs. Zun is ugly and never sees outsiders. Even at home, she wears a face towel. If I guess correctly, your lady should be the one from the Xue family. A girl who died young."

Fang Zhao nodded helplessly, seeing that he was exposed, so he didn't hide it: "That's right! My sister had an appointment with my cousin back then. Who knows what happened next. If I want to pretend to be Fang Zhao, then he has to It was Xue Heng. In this way, in the eyes of outsiders, he and his sister became brothers and sisters. My mother had no choice but to call my sister 'die of illness', and then she married her in a different form."

He lowered his head: "The minister is guilty! He is guilty of deceiving the king! The minister will die!"

Lin Yutong said: "Get up! We went to the door in the dark, and the place where we talked was in your study. I just didn't plan to embarrass you."

Xue Heng was leaning on crutches, while the other hand went to find Fang Zhao.

Lin Yutong saw that the two did not intend to change their names and identities, so he said, "Then according to the current name?"

Xue Heng was a little disappointed: "Now Cao Min has almost forgotten that he used to be Fang Zhao." He shook his head, "Cao Min has long known that the bigger the official, the greater the danger inside. There has never been an airtight in this world. The wall of the world, the secret will always be dug up. The difference between later and earlier is only!"

Fang Zhao showed a look of shame: "Don't hide it from Your Highness, my cousin said it long ago when the minister was still the prefect of Yunzhou, that if the official reaches the fourth rank, it's fine. Don't go back to the capital, let's just serve as an official. Anyway, it is the same. Officials and eunuchs. It's the minister who can't let go of his future career. Over the years, he has been fascinated by this illusory prominence."

Lin Yutong then looked at Xue Heng again, "Then tell me, why am I here today?"

Xue Heng glanced at Fang Zhao and sighed again: "Caomin told my cousin before that Prime Minister Chu's roots are too deep, so deep that the emperor can't get rid of it. If the emperor's influence in the official department is not as big as that of the prime minister Chu, then the cousin, the servant, has achieved the top. Now, when the princess arrives, the people are more certain that this time, if the emperor wants to do it, the prime minister will decide on his own. arm."

Fang Zhao's face turned pale all of a sudden: "Blame me! Blame me!" He sighed, "I don't have enough people to swallow an elephant! If I had listened to my cousin earlier, it would be a good thing to return to my hometown now."

But there is no regret medicine in the world.

Xue Heng was a bachelor, and said bluntly: "His Royal Highness has come, and there must be an explanation. At this juncture, everything is false. I just want to save the lives of Xue Fang's family..."

Interested!

Lin Yutong looked at Xue Heng: "Don't be so pessimistic. Get things done, I will not only keep the two of you safe, but also give you a great future."

Xue Heng looked at Lin Yutong in amazement, and then looked at his lame leg with a wry smile: "His Royal Highness's kindness is accepted by the people. It's just..."

Lin Yutong waved his hand: "It's just a lame leg, not a lame heart. In these years, although you have been attached to Chu Yuan, you have something remarkable to do as an official. No matter where you work, the people's corvee service taxes are collected. It's the least. There's no exploitation of the fish, and that's enough."

Fang Zhao breathed a sigh of relief at this time and knelt down heavily, "Thank you for your rebirth!"

Lin Yutong just glanced at the fourth master, and then the fourth master took out an account book from his arms, "Get up and look at this."

Fang Zhao got up quickly, took it over and turned two pages, then his face changed suddenly, and handed the ledger to Xue Heng.

Xue Heng frowned and looked at it, his face was a little ugly: "That's right! The number is right! For this matter, we are very grateful to Prime Minister Chu, but I didn't expect it to be like this."

Fang Zhao nodded: "That year, after the autumn tax came up, he was escorted to Beijing. The officers came back and said that the autumn tax had also been paid. But soon, I received a letter from Prime Minister Chu asking us about the autumn tax. Why didn't I turn it over for a long time. I was puzzled at the time, and immediately called the **** in charge of the transportation to ask, who would have known that the ginseng died suddenly on the same day. I naturally didn't believe it was a coincidence, I just thought it was a murder in the capital. People were snared. Later, Prime Minister Chu dealt with it, reported the drought for Yunzhou, and reduced taxes. We were not held accountable, and we did not need to collect taxes from the people if we lost the autumn tax. This is really a great joy. Prime Minister Chu wrote again. , said it was because of him that he brought us disaster. We thought it was the hand of someone who did not deal with Prime Minister Chu at the time. We deeply felt that Prime Minister Chu was an upright person. Originally, he did not need to tell us about these things. He still said it, and our brothers felt that Prime Minister Chu was worthy of deep friendship. Not long after that, the minister was transferred to the capital. This was also the power of Prime Minister Chu. I never thought that this autumn tax would be swallowed by him. now..."

Xue Heng waved his hand: "This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that he swallowed the autumn tax, where did the grain and silver go? This is the most important thing." After speaking, he looked at Lin Yutong, " Yunzhou Prefecture is adjacent to Northern Liaoning. I am afraid that the autumn tax has not been out of Yunzhou, and it will be given away. The fake entered the capital, but it really went..."

"North Liao?" Fang Zhao was stunned. This is collusion!

Of course not collaborating! Those things did not go to Beiliao, but went to the horse farm of Duke Jin's mansion.

But these do not need to be told to these two people.

Lin Yutong's eyes flashed, "You know now, what should you do next?"

Fang Zhao looked at Xue Heng, Xue Heng gritted his teeth and nodded: "It's better to strike first! Don't worry, Your Highness."

Lin Yutong felt that this fake Xue Hengzhen Fang Zhao was a very decisive person. Such a person can only hide in the dark with a lame leg. What a pity for this talent.

The next day, Lin Yutong was still asleep when he was suddenly awakened by the sound of a drum.

"This is..." She rubbed her eyes, "This is Deng Wengu!"

Fourth Master listened, "Well! It's Dengwen Gu." After speaking, his expression changed, and he jumped up quickly, "You hurry up and enter the palace."

Lin Yutong was stunned for a moment, then scolded. According to what they said, Fang Zhao could just ask Fang Zhao to submit the book directly to the emperor, but who knows, the drum of Dengwen rang. You don't need to ask, it's Xue Heng who beat the drum.

This person is really ruthless, and he doesn't leave any way out of doing things.

If Fang Zhao was to take the case, even if Chu Yuan was not taken down, it would be a matter between colleagues. Even if convicted, how much of a crime can it be? Relegation is the worst punishment. But now, as soon as the drum was heard, there was no way out. This is a gamble with your life and fortune.

"If I enter the palace, I'm afraid it won't work." Lin Yutong sighed. Can the Gan family break into the court?

The fourth master put a snack in Lin Yutong's mouth: "You act as you see fit. I'm going to visit a few people right now, you can just delay as much as possible..."

"Who to visit?" Lin Yutong asked while eating.

The fourth master urged her: "Don't worry about this, I asked the third child to pass the word to the Gao family before, and the Gao family has not been idle these days. Since someone has sacrificed their lives, I will just give her the bottom line... …”

When the drum sounded, it wasn't just Lin Yutong and Fourth Master who woke up. The whole capital is awake.

Emperor Yongkang was sitting opposite the Gan family, and the two had breakfast together.

Gan's meals are not that particular, and they are very homely. But Yongkang Emperor likes to eat this. The two didn't talk about troublesome things, but only talked about eating and drinking, which was pleasant.

With a sudden drumbeat, Emperor Yongkang and Mrs Gan immediately raised their heads and wanted to look back at each other, but both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

"Not you?"

"Not you?"

The two spoke in unison.

Gan shook her head: "I really didn't arrange it." She had never thought of tossing so high-profile to win Chu Yuan.

"Then where did this wind come from?" Emperor Yongkang put down his chopsticks and walked out quickly.

Gan Shi's expression of astonishment on the face that has just subsided, this is the way things in the world are, no matter how well planned, accidents will happen. And what can you get from this accident?

"Change to court clothes!" Mrs Gan straightened her back and instructed Mammy He.
