The fake eunuch who lurked in the palace

In Chen County, the man in brown clothes filled the glass with wine for the man in blue clothes across from him, "Brother Xu, are you going back to Beijing tomorrow?"

The man in blue nodded, "I'm really worried about Dali Temple. Brother Lu, is there anything you need me to help deliver?"

"I've already been in trouble once, how can I continue?"

"That's obvious." The man in blue showed displeasure. "In the early years, I heard you mentioned that the Queen Mother was very fond of the fruit wine on South Street," the man in blue pretended to be unintentional.

The man in brown clothes smiled, "She is happy to be home, but she can't drink more than a few drinks. Once she exceeds the limit..." The man in brown clothes thought of something, shook his head and laughed, "Just bring a small jar."

"The Lu family cannot enter the court. Thank you for helping her in the past two years." The man in brown clothes raised a glass to the man in blue clothes. If it weren't for the Lu family's eldest daughter, Lu Zhan would have been interested in Xu Zhimao.

Her talent, appearance, and conduct are all top-notch, and she is a perfect match for Li'er.

It's a pity that Li'er is destined to be trapped in the red wall. The love between ordinary couples can only be imagined in dreams.

Fortunately, Chao'er has succeeded to the throne, the government and the public are harmonious, and everything is stable, so Li'er won't have too much difficulty.

"The Queen Mother is the Phoenix of the Nine Heavens. Brother Lu, if you go to Zijing City to see her, you won't say this. It is she who has made everyone successful."

"What we did was insignificant compared to her."

Xu Zhimao's eyes welled up with admiration, as well as a hint of unbearable distress and tenderness.

In just a moment, he hid everything deep in his heart again.

At this time, in the Xu family's mansion, the servants were carefully carrying their luggage.

"Slow down, the young master has specially explained the things inside, so there can be no mistakes."

Xu Zhimao's personal entourage kept a close eye on everyone to prevent them from missing anything.

Despite his repeated warnings, there were so many people that things could easily get into trouble. The servant behind him stumbled, the man carrying the box in front couldn't get away, and several people fell into a ball.

There was a clang and a snapping sound, the aroma of wine instantly filled the air, and the scene fell silent.

He was so aggrieved that he said, "Look what you have done!"

"Young master is usually too gentle, look at you two, you two are so itchy! What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you go to South Street and pack the wine before the master comes back?"

The servant nodded hurriedly and ran towards South Street.

……

"The Lu family cannot really be trapped in Chen County for generations. Now that Li'er is in power, orphans and widowers also need brothers to help each other. You know the treachery in the court."

In the Lu family, an old man blew tea and spoke quietly.

"Uncle, the more this happens, the more children of the Lu family will be unable to leave. They will be obsessed with power. Once the relatives become big, the country will be in chaos." The middle-aged man's face was serious, and his words were unquestionable.

"Zizhong, you should also think about the children in your clan. They have studied hard for many years and are eager to be put to good use. When you were young, I remember you were also very high-spirited."

"Uncle, the rules cannot be broken." The middle-aged man's expression did not waver at all.

Seeing that he could not convince the middle-aged man, the old man put down his tea cup, sighed, and walked out with his back bent.

"Wen Gou, I'll kill you!"

As soon as Wen Fangqi left the capital, a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old rushed towards him with a dagger in her hand and a face filled with resentment.

Wen Fangqi didn't need to take action, the guard at the door was kicked out by the girl.

"Wen dog! Beast!"

The girl pointed at Wen Fangqi and cursed angrily, her eyes full of unwillingness, and finally she tilted her head and fainted.

Wen Fangqi frowned. In the past, no one came to scold him, but this was the first time he was arrested and scolded by name. He had not participated in the recent house raids.

You keep yourself clean on weekdays, you beast? Who has he ruined? Wen Fangqi was silent.

"Go find out where this girl came from."

The guard nodded. Seeing that Wen Fangqi was about to leave, he pointed at the girl and asked, "Captain, what should I do with this person?"

"I'll put him in the prison cell first, and then deal with him after we find out." Glancing at the girl's face, Wen Fangqi didn't stop any longer.

After walking around for a whole morning, seeing that the girls were not so interested anymore, Li Yi took them to the farm. They usually eat fine food, so it was time to try something else.

"These sour bamboo shoots are excellent." Wen Kuang praised repeatedly.

"I'll ask the head of the village later how much stock he has, and I'll bring some back to the palace for you." Li Yi picked up the fish bone and said casually.

"Yes." Wen Yu responded softly. It felt so good to be pampered like this.

Lin Shu looked at Mao Wenyun and said, "Well, don't worry that she will notice that the atmosphere is not right. She is obviously stuck in the book again, and her eyes are not moving at all."

"Slow down."

Seeing Xiaobao choking on the soup, Li Yi hurriedly helped her.

Lin Shu narrowed her eyes. Although this bastard was nothing, he was indeed patient and careful with his children.

After dinner, Li Yi asked everyone to have a rest and visit the farm later.

In the room, Lu Li leaned in Li Yi's arms, her face lost the lightness in front of others, and she gently opened her lips:

"Li Yi, how cruel can people be for themselves?"

"I just read the information submitted by Du Qianwei. Three generations of historians have served as river transport envoys. The Huai Canal on Sunning Mansion East Road was dug out by Master Shi Xiang in seven years with only a few hundred people."

"It is precisely because of this credit that Shi Xiang was saved from death."

"He did not like to read the Book of Songs since he was a child. He only loved books related to rivers. He would stay by the river all day long. When he was young, he was extremely arrogant and threatened that within thirty years, the Jishui River would flow around the north and south."

"I left home at the age of twelve and visited the entire Daqian river canal. When I first became the river transport envoy, I proposed to build the Luo Canal. However, at that time, powerful officials were in power, corruption was prevalent, and Shi Xiang was too staunch, so his memorial was never submitted. On the Imperial Case."

"In the same year, Heti collapsed, and the case was settled very quickly. Some people appealed on his behalf, but they were all suppressed. The passion in his heart fell into the darkness of officialdom before it could be used."

"During the twenty years of his travels, he visited every river in search of its end. But a man who was determined to open canals and benefit all people had his tongue cut out, destroying all hope."

"I have lived with my injustice for ten years without anyone questioning me, and I am barely able to survive even the most basic self-care."

Lu Li raised his head slightly, his eyes turning red, "The Luo Canal was finally dug out to divert water into the fields, irrigating Chenglin County and avoiding floods in Sunning Mansion."

"But all this has nothing to do with Shixiang. People in both places are grateful to the governor of Heyun, praising him for his integrity, his dedication to the people, and his uprightness."

"Li Yi, where is the justice in this world?" Lu Li muttered.

Li Yi gently stroked her back, "Li'er, even the sun has places it cannot shine, but as long as it is exposed, all the darkness will recede."

"Wang Jin is very close to the Lu family, and he married the sister of the former clan leader." Lu Li spoke.

"If you can't do it, I will."

Li Yi chuckled, "Let them know who controls this big job. Even the Queen Mother can't do anything to me."

Lu Li shook his head, "Li Yi, I know you want to bear the blame alone, but this time, you can't. Shi Xiang has been wronged for ten years. Only if I give him justice can the resentment in his heart be alleviated."

"He wants the power of an emperor, not a powerful minister."
