Unparalleled Concubine

Xiao Huai bowed his head and said: "Plum Blossom Guard was liquidated in Jincheng, it should be your godfather who leaked the news to Mrs. Li."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Zheng's expression changed drastically, his long and narrow eyes were full of fierce light, almost looking like he was about to eat people.

Xiao Huai lowered his head and didn't see his godfather's expression. He continued: "After my son found out about this, he... wanted to handle this matter for his godfather."

"After returning to Beijing from Yongzhou, my son has been busy with this."

Xiao Huai lowered his head and said slowly: "Plum Blossom Guard has a record about this matter. It took my son several months to change it bit by bit. The teahouse where you went out to meet Mrs. Li back then should be killed." The son of man also killed for you."

Xiao Huai raised his head, glanced at Xiao Zheng who was full of astonishment, and took a deep breath.

"In the past few days, my son tried to find a way to kill everyone who knew about this incident in Plum Blossom Guard and who had read the records of this incident."

"In this way, godfather can... sit back and relax."

Xiao Zheng stood where he was, silent for a long time.

Even he himself didn't expect that the son in front of him who was brought up by himself and who usually does things with a bit of sinisterness, turned out to be... a big dutiful son?

Chapter 987 Not So Clean

In today's civil service circle, there is a strict hierarchy. No matter you are a student or a junior, you can't have any dissatisfaction with your teachers and elders. If you harm your teachers and elders, even if you gain power for a while, you will not be able to get along in the circle. down.

Not only that, even if it's your own boss, you can't report him, otherwise, even if you pull the boss down, no one will dare to use you again in the future.

But this set of things is only applicable to the outer court, and it doesn’t work in the inner court. The eunuchs in the palace will not be bound by the moral standards outside. Their world is so big. What's more, people outside the palace can't control the affairs of the inner court, and the power of the eunuch in the inner court is so powerful and so attractive, so it is normal for godfathers and adopted sons to kill each other in the palace, and intrigue between superiors and subordinates After all, there is only one eunuch, the chief servant, and there are too many palace people in the palace.

Xiao Huai obtained the evidence that could kill Xiao Zheng a few months ago, but not only did he not report on his godfather, but he spent several months helping Xiao Zheng erase the traces left by this incident , I want to completely bury this matter in the soil.

It has to be said that this is extremely rare.

Even though he had been a great eunuch for more than ten years, he was shocked when he saw Xiao Zheng who had experienced many winds and rains. He stood there silently for a long time, then glanced at Xiao Huai, and sighed heavily.

"You...have a heart."

Xiao Huai bowed his head respectfully: "The son was in the palace back then. He was a coward who was bullied by others. He was not a godfather. He is still washing clothes in Shangyi prison. When the son was young and had not entered the palace, the family People teach their sons to be gracious.”

"This is what a son should do."

Xiao Zheng patted Xiao Huai's shoulder, and let out a long breath.

"This matter, no matter whether you have selfish intentions or not, you are in favor of me after all, and I will remember it in my heart."

The power field is the most cruel, and it is extremely difficult to maintain a conscience at 01:30 in it. What Xiao Huai has done makes Xiao Zheng quite grateful.

Of course, if you look into it carefully, it's hard to say whether Xiao Huai has selfish intentions.

Because he is not the only young prison guard!

There is another junior prisoner who is even older than him in the internal guard. If Xiao Zheng is overthrown, but he does not climb to that position, in the end it will be a loss outweighed the gain.

Of course, guessing others with evil thoughts is the worst thing. Only he knows what Xiao Huai is thinking in his heart, but he has actually done a good deed for Xiao Zheng.

Xiao Huai walked behind Xiao Zheng, with his head slightly lowered.

"Godfather, according to the information collected by Plum Blossom Guard, Mrs. Li is probably... heading towards the capital."

"If Taifu Li enters the capital, shall we arrest him according to His Majesty's wishes?"

Xiao Zheng shook his head: "What His Majesty is thinking of is to invite the Marquis of Jing'an to the capital. If he is willing to enter the capital on his own initiative, it will be a matter between their master and apprentice, and has nothing to do with us slaves."

"When the time comes, just inform His Majesty."

………………

In June of the fifth year of Yuanzhao, the weather was hot.

In the capital, only under the big tree in Liushufang can have some cool air. The big families in Yonglefang and Mingdefang have already asked their servants to open ice cellars and use ice to cool down.

It is worth mentioning that because of Li Xin's arrival, there has been a lot of food in the capital in the past ten years. Many people are selling along the street.

In the scorching sun, a middle-aged man in Tsing Yi, who looked to be in his early 30s, was walking lazily on Desheng Street, alone, with a fan in his hand.

He was wearing very ordinary clothes, and his appearance was not outstanding. There was nothing wrong with the photo guides on his body. The soldiers in the capital didn't even recognize who he was, so he wandered into Yongle Square in a leisurely way. , came to the back door of Chen Guogong's mansion.

He reached out and knocked on the door, and the back door of the Duke's Mansion opened quickly. The concierge at the back door naturally recognized him. After seeing him, his expression changed, and he said in a voiceless voice: "Li..."

"Master Li, why are you here?"

This middle-aged man is naturally Li Xin who came to the capital secretly. He deliberately did not trim his beard, and in addition he was wearing ordinary clothes. After leaving the capital, no one found him.

But it doesn't matter if someone finds out, he entered the capital to let the court find out.

Li Xin smiled: "I've been in the south for a long time, so I naturally want to come back to the capital. Is Ye Mao at home?"

"At home at home."

The concierge nodded quickly, and said, "My father-in-law has been in the study for the past few days, and the villain is leading the way for Lord Li."

"It's work."

Li Xin is familiar with Chen Guogong's mansion, and most of the old people in the Guogong's mansion recognize him. It didn't take long for him to arrive at the backyard of Ye's house. Before he arrived at the door of Ye Mao's study, Ye Mao was also dressed in coarse clothes. Chong Chong ran out, and when he saw that Li Xin was really coming, the black-faced man widened his eyes and swallowed.

"Uncle Li... why are you here?"

From Ye Mao's point of view, his uncle has completely betrayed the imperial court. Even if he returns to the capital in the future, he should enter the capital instead of suddenly appearing in the capital at this time.

Ye Mao even made a plan not to see each other for the rest of his life.

The reunion at this moment lifted the spirits of Chen Guogong, who was in a bad mood.

Li Xin patted Ye Mao on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Master Ye told me to help him take care of the Ye family. I heard that the Ye family was in trouble in the south, so I went to the capital to take a look. .”

"It's not like my Ye family is in trouble..."

Ye Mao shook his head and smiled wryly.

"It's...that's all."

He took two steps back and bowed deeply to Li Xin.

"Master Uncle can make this trip for the Ye family, Ye Mao is very grateful."

Li Xin glanced at the big man with a half-smile, and laughed: "What do you believe in, no wonder people forced you to this point!"

Ye Mao stretched out his hand and scratched his head.

"Why don't you invite me in to sit down? After a while, I'm afraid I won't be able to sit down."
