Enter the Room

Yuan Yunzhong was talking to Shao Qing. When he saw Song Jiyun coming in, he did not avoid it. Instead, he nodded towards her and continued to say to Shao Qing: "This matter has been decided. The emperor will not deal with Prince Ning at will, especially Prince Ning." My ancestors once made an agreement with Emperor Yongle to 'draw the river and rule'. The emperor can't deal with anyone he wants."

Shao Qing didn't think there was anything wrong with letting Song Jiyun hear this.

In his heart, Song Jiyun was a very reliable person. Even if she knew about it, she would not talk nonsense to others like ordinary women. So he just smiled at her and answered Yuan Yunzhong's words with shining eyes: "But his right-hand men can handle everything according to law."

Yuan Yunzhong nodded, and his neat profile was as sharp as a knife: "Kill those who deserve to be killed, and jerk off those who deserve. Don't let others think we are joking."

Shao Qing laughed after hearing this and said: "Anyway, we didn't touch Prince Ning. Can't we still touch those lawless people?"

Yuan Yunzhong glanced at him indifferently and said, "I finally put my brain to use."

Shao Qing felt a little aggrieved and said, "Who said I don't need my brain anymore? I just can't think as fast as you, Master."

Then he pushed Song Jiyun to Yuan Yunzhong: "I'm going to do something. Miss Song, sir, you guys talk first."

Song Jiyun greeted him with a smile, and when he saw him walking out the door, he turned around and sat down on Yuan Yun's middle finger chair with a smile, and said, "How are you these days?"

Yuan Yunzhong nodded, and when the waiter who had served tea withdrew, he said lightly: "You don't have to put much thought into teasing cats and dogs. When you remember it, just stir it up. If you can't remember it, it doesn't matter."

Song Jiuyun laughed.

This man caused a hurricane in Jiangxi official circles, but he spoke as if he was just doing it casually.

She drank tea and told Yuan Yunzhong that the eldest lady came to her to plead for Song Tao.

Yuan Yunzhong understood her state of mind quite well. Not only did he not misunderstand, he also said: "Don't worry, you can handle this matter how you want. If she was really wronged by Mr. Hong, there is no need to step on her at this time. Feet. People like her will die if they do any injustice. There will be many times when they will seek death in the future!"

Song Jiyun also meant the same thing, but she was still curious: "Did the Hong family really participate in Prince Ning's smuggling case? The small village where we were trapped that time was their wild kiln?"

Yuan Yunzhong nodded and said: "I will investigate clearly when we return to the city. However, I was not prepared to deal with Prince Ning before. I thought that regardless of whether it was a wild kiln or not, those people were living a pretty good life and they could make a living, so there was no need to I have to keep an eye on them. But they can chase us, which shows that they are not good things. I originally thought that giving them a lesson would be enough. Who knows that when my people passed by, they all disappeared.

"I was still surprised at the time. Even if someone discovered it, they didn't have to walk so cleanly. It looked like the place had been run for several years, and they just gave up just like that. It's not something ordinary people can do.

“I was thinking that if I find the person in charge, I need to get to know him.

"I never thought that I would follow this line and find out that it was related to Prince Ning.

"To be honest, if we hadn't been in this situation, I wouldn't have discovered Prince Ning's secrets so quickly."

Looking back now, Song Jiyun also finds it quite strange.

She laughed and said, "This is a blessing in disguise."

"Forget it!" Yuan Yunzhong said cheerfully, but the topic stopped abruptly.

The study was quiet for a while.

Song Jiuyun was confused.

Although they had often talked incoherently before, there was never such a situation where they seemed to have nothing to say.

Could it be that Yuan Yunzhong has been too tired these days? Or is there something that is not convenient to say to her?

Song Jiyun changed the subject wisely and said, "How are Master Xu and Master Deng's military exploits? Does the court recognize them?"

"Recognize it!" Yuan Yunzhong said, "Even if the emperor doesn't want to admit it, there is the Duke of Dingguo and the Duke of England, so it is impossible for the emperor to deny it."

Deng Chen was a distant relative of the British government and came to Jingdezhen via the British government.

Song Jiyun said: "Master Xu and Master Deng will be promoted because of this, right? Then won't the Jingdezhen Governor's Department be replaced again soon?"

Yuan Yunzhong said "hmm" and had nothing to say.

If it were in the past, even if he didn't speak, he would still show an expression of "what are you worried about, I will take care of everything."

Song Jiuyun is not stupid.

Yuan Yunzhong was trying to draw a clear line with her.

The relationship with others was better when they came back from the disaster. Why did they become even more estranged when they came here?

Is it because of her previous rejection?

Song Jiyun thought about it in his heart.

A man dressed as a young boy came in to say that Eunuch Wan was coming to visit him.

Yuan Yunzhong said impatiently: "Why is he here to join in the fun? It's not his turn to deal with him yet?"

Song Jiyun looked at the young boy and wondered whether he was serving Yuan Yunzhong or was transferred from another yamen to serve Yuan Yunzhong. He spoke very boldly and said, "I told him the same thing. Third grade, There are still a lot of fourth-grade officials who have not been dealt with, so why is it his turn as a small fifth-grade internal eunuch to plead guilty? But he is used to serving others, and he can do all kinds of pretentious things. How many times have I been stuffed? Not only was he a little ingot, he took off his shirt and knelt at the door with a thorn stick on his back, saying that he would bear the thorn stick to apologize. I looked at the crowd of people watching the excitement and pointed at him, fearing that he would ruin the reputation of the Song family, so I left him He let him in and told him to kneel down in the yard if he wanted to."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Song Jiyun.

Song Jiyun asked: "What do you call me, brother? I'm sorry for your trouble."

The boy hurriedly saluted Song Jiyun and was about to speak when he was interrupted by Yuan Yunzhong: "I knew he was acting cowardly and yet I made him kneel in the yard - tell him to leave immediately!"

The boy agreed, but when he walked out, he muttered in a low voice: "Don't I think that if I let him kneel in the Song family for a while longer and let everyone in the Song family see it, he would be embarrassed to come to the Song family?"

Song Jiyun smiled.

However, Wan Gonggong rushed in despite being surrounded by all the boys, carrying a thorn stick on his back: "Master Yuan, Master Yuan, you have to save my life! There really is nothing wrong with Prince Ning. I sold him to His porcelain was all made by Master Wan Shenwan, who asked me to do it."

With that said, he knelt down in front of Yuan Yunzhong, hugged Yuan Yunzhong's right leg, and continued to cry out his injustice with tears and snot in his face: "I still have in my hand the letter and fabrication given to me by Mr. Wan." I also keep the official documents from the office and the factory receipts for the porcelain. The affairs of Prince Ning’s Mansion really have nothing to do with me. I am just a business person!"

Yuan Yunzhong's face turned green and he shouted: "Where is the gatekeeper of the courtyard?"

Liuzi ran in anxiously and angrily.

When Yuan Yunzhong saw this, he inexplicably lost his temper again. He glanced at Eunuch Wan, kicked him and said, "Stand up and speak!"
