When I got home in the evening, as soon as I stepped into the hall, I saw my father sitting in the Zhengbei armchair, watching him with embarrassing eyes as he walked in the door.

The mother was playing around with her younger brother, but when Han Jiao came back, she immediately turned serious, bent over to pick up Ah Mo, and walked to the back hall.

Han Jiao was taken aback for a moment, this battle seemed to be the rhythm of his father's preparation of family law.

"Father?" Han Jiao called out in a daze, not daring to sit down, and stood obediently in front of Master Han, ready to listen to the training.

"Why don't you tell the family about the Ninth Prince?" Father cut to the point with a stern expression.

Han Jiao was surprised.

This incident has actually spread to the Yamen of Dali Temple!

The level of gossip among officials really exceeded his imagination.

"Oh, this happened the day before yesterday." Han Jiao tried his best to be indifferent: "I said I was afraid that you and mother would be worried, but the matter has already been explained clearly by the Holy One, and my son is not responsible."

"You actually planned to hide such a big matter like this?" Master Han was full of disbelief.

He always felt that his son's temperament had changed a lot since he passed the Jinshi examination. After careful observation for a long time, he felt that his son's habits and preferences were not different.

Such a big matter was actually told to Mr. Han by his colleagues vividly and vividly.

In the past, his son would never be so calm.

Although this kid is usually ostentatious and shows off, as a father, he knows that his son is childish in his bones and cannot bear such a big shock. After the incident, he and his wife should be asked to talk with him all night to suppress the shock.

But the son was fine.

Master Han and his wife carefully recalled his son's reaction in the past two days. Fortunately, his wife was careful. She remembered that Han Jiao's face was very ugly on the night of the incident.

She thought it was because her son was angry outside, and she was too embarrassed to complain to her mother, so she could only let him go, but she didn't expect it to be such a big deal.

"Ajiao, have you lost your heart with this family?" Master Han's eyes were full of disappointment: "Where did father disappoint you?"

"Father!" Han Jiao hurried forward and knelt in front of his father on one knee: "Don't think about it? It's just because the matter is serious. Am I afraid of scaring your elders?"

Master Han was taken aback, his heart felt sore and warm for a moment, he looked down at his son's youthful face, his voice stuck in his throat, he couldn't speak for a long time, and after a while he said in a low voice: "Ajiao, dad is still very healthy, Dad can handle this family, you don't have to learn to take care of things so quickly."

Han Jiao's eyes turned red, the hurdle that had been in his heart since crossing suddenly began to collapse.

He hasn't had such a heart-to-heart relationship with his father for a long time.

Intentionally or unintentionally, he blamed his father for the death of his family in the previous life, but the parents in this world are so similar to the previous life, if not for their different looks, he almost forgot the difference between the two, so he also The complaints he had made towards his father in the previous life were unconsciously imposed on the man in front of him.

After coming to this world, he kept a certain psychological distance from his father, as if he was afraid that after he got close, he would gradually be assimilated into the same person as his father.

The tragic experience in his previous life made him completely deny his father's character.

But it took him two years to deny his father, but nearly 20 years to regard his father as a hero.

At this moment, with a word from his father, Han Jiao, who had been hiding far away, was pulled back to his father again, becoming a child who needed to rely on.

"Father, sometimes you carry too much. You have to carry this family, you have to carry the hardships of the people, you have to carry the justice of heaven. Sometimes you only care about the other end, but you can't take care of the other end."

Master Han was stunned for a moment, seemed to sense the reproach in his son's words, frowned and said, "You blame dad for not taking good care of your mother and child? Blame dad for not accepting ice and charcoal to respect those filial piety?"

"No." Han Jiao denied. Looking at his father's face that was older than his peers, he hesitated for a long time before saying: "Our family's life is not bad. My son is worried that the burden of official duties on your shoulders is too heavy. You are always reluctant to let go of the things that should be let go."

Master Han looked surprised, remained silent for a while, and asked in a low voice: "Do you know about the case involving King Yan? Your mother told you?"

Han Jiao was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect to deceive his father's thoughts unintentionally.

Involving King Yan?

At this point in time, isn't that the murder of a good man?

Why would Dad worry about this?

Han Jiao's heart turned, his expression changed immediately, he stood up slowly, and looked down at his father: "Father, you don't want to directly bring this case up, do you?"

The case of killing Liang and committing crimes is a major matter, involving the three judicial departments, and his father is also a case investigator.

In the original book, this case had already been suppressed by Elder Xu Ge, but King Yan was still in his upright youth and determined to investigate thoroughly.

Several upright officials from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple stepped forward, but before the evidence was found, they were beaten up by the backers of the criminal general, and all of them were impeached and imprisoned. King Yan was also suspected by the emperor because of this case.

Han Jiao originally didn't intend to show his face in this difficult case, but now, seeing his father's reaction, he doubted that his father was one of those cannon fodder officials.

Seeing that he actually knew about the case, his father stood up slowly, took a few steps, and said in a deep voice, "The Liaodong frontier defense is already beyond words. In order to keep his military position, Tu Cun risked meritorious deeds, how dare he! Whose power do you think he is relying on? Those commanders in Liaodong, and even the commander-in-chief, all have such faces! The Holy Majesty was kept in the dark, The people below dare not touch their backers, the frontier defenders are about to rot to the bone."

Master Han turned his head and saw his son's pale face. He hurriedly restrained his worry, and said with a wry smile: "You don't understand these things, don't talk about them, you're hungry..."

"Father!" Han Jiao stepped forward and said urgently, "You must not meddle in this case! We will do whatever Elder Xu Ge wants to do, and we can overthrow Elder Li Ge with just a little command." Otherwise, it is impossible for Mr. Xu Ge to disobey King Yan's wishes and insist on suppressing the case!"

Master Han was surprised: "Ajiao, how do you know so much?"

Han Jiao thought about it nervously, and whispered: "How can there be an impenetrable wall in the imperial court? Think about it, even I heard the wind, let alone that old Li Ge. To put it bluntly, you Among the colleagues in the courtyard, there are so many people rushing to inform Mr. Li Ge, we must never take this as an early bird."

Master Han frowned, turned his back, and said lightly: "If you don't show up this time, I don't know if there will be another chance."

"There is no chance this time!" Han Jiao quickly walked around to his father, and said eagerly: "King Yan decided to investigate thoroughly, can this be regarded as a chance to bring down Mr. Li Ge? It depends on whether the ruler is willing to investigate thoroughly! Qi Ning Guan Dajie's residence newspaper has already arrived in the two capitals and thirteen provinces, and the government and the public are full of praise, who can turn this case over?"

"It's because the emperor was kept in the dark!" Master Han said sharply, "The salary of my generation eats the king..."

"It's time to worry about the king!" Han Jiao interrupted his father: "Ten months ago, Li Ge tried his best to rebuild the Jiangnan palace for the emperor. If he himself committed a capital crime, the emperor will suppress it for him, Dad, you can't take the cliff as an opportunity and jump down with your eyes closed."

Master Han was shocked by his son's words, looked at him for a long time, and murmured: "Ajiao, you just stepped into the officialdom, how did you become..."

"My child's heart hasn't changed." Han Jiao looked at his father firmly, "It's just that after going through the life-and-death disaster the day before yesterday, I suddenly realized some truths. To eliminate the government and the opposition, we should see the current situation clearly, wait for the opportunity, and not make fearless sacrifices."

"Ajiao is right!" Mother's voice suddenly came from behind the door.

The father and son turned their heads, and saw Mrs. Han lift the curtain into the hall with an angry expression, and stared at her husband complainingly: "Even the children understand the truth, but you don't understand it! You are going to hit the south wall by yourself, why not?" People stop you, I, Ajiao, Amo, can't drag you down!"

After all, the matter endangered the safety of his wife and children. Master Han didn't dare to argue with his wife, so he went back to his room in silence.

Han Jiao still wanted to catch up and explain, but was stopped by his mother.

"Mother will tell him tonight, don't worry, are you hungry? Today, Mother made your favorite fried pork."

"It's been three days, why is it still so swollen?" The sixth princess frowned as she watched the imperial doctor apply medicine to the ninth brother's wound.

The gauze was all on the wound, and when it was uncovered, the sixth princess closed her eyes and dared not look at it, her nose felt sore, and she couldn't help crying again.

"Don't cry, sister." Xie Duo fixed his eyes on the gauze, calmly comforting him: "The imperial doctor said that the swelling will subside in seven days."

The grievances of the girl's family are always coaxed more and more vigorously. Upon hearing this, the sixth princess cried "hmmmm" even more.

Xie Duo turned his head to look at Sixth Sister helplessly, and said seriously: "I really want to cry, can you be softer? Which girl cries with a rough voice like a man's, and when she heard it outside, she thought it was me crying, my face It's not enough to lose."

The sixth princess, who was born with a rough voice, stopped her tears immediately, became furious, and began to complain again: "Which of the sisters has not shed tears for you these days? Now you know how to save face? You usually look very clever, copying You even picked a child prodigy to copy this policy theory, you really don’t want to write it, even if you ask our sisters..."

"Thank you for reminding me that it's been three days, sister." Xie Duo stared at the sixth princess with a pair of sharp eyes: "My brother already knows himself, and there will never be a next time."

The sixth princess still couldn't help complaining: "Don't be soft-hearted if you want to lose face. If you don't act like a hero, you will be beaten like this just because of a low-ranking little concubine?"

Xie Duo closed his eyes in despair and leaned back in the armchair.

In the past two days, officials from the Hanlin Academy have been coming to the Nansan Institute to see and visit, weeping and weeping like mourning concubines, expressing their gratitude to the Ninth Prince's benevolence.

Standing up to take responsibility for a good man, this matter, let the Ninth Prince's love for talent spread throughout the government and the public, but in fact...

"I, really, no, I'm a hero." Xie Duo closed his eyes and said in pain: "When Father asked, I insisted that it was a few servants who instructed me to write that policy theory. I didn't expect that kid to see me. When I got to my father, I immediately knelt down and admitted that he wrote the theory, how can I shirk my responsibility? It can’t be said that he put a knife on my neck to force me to copy it, right?”

"You can say that he wrote it on his own initiative and sent it to imply that you copied it."

"The copy has already been copied. It's meaningless to drag a little scumbag to die with him."

"You have dragged him into suffering together." Xie Jing's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

The sixth princess turned her head to look, and saw brothers Xie Jing and Xie An walking in quickly.

"Mr. Han waited for you outside the upper study room yesterday, and was almost beaten up by the third brother!" Xie An rushed to report the news as soon as he entered the door.

Xie Duo turned his head to look at his younger brother: "What are you waiting for me for?"

"He seems to be bringing you medicine." Xie An sat in an armchair beside him, recalling yesterday's situation: "Mr. Han is so miserable. In order to wait for you outside the upper study room, he even pretended to lose his purse and searched for it everywhere, but was caught by the third brother." Just touched the sleeve pocket and found it..."

Imagining the situation at that time, Xie Duo was caught off guard and laughed aloud, his arm shook, and the hand that was applying the medicine poked the medicine spoon, instinctively withdrew his hand, grinned in pain and lowered his head.

"Oh, don't move around, you!" The sixth princess stood up in fright.

"You're still laughing, Brother Ninth!" Xie An muttered, "Mr. Han is so pitiful. Third Brother scolded him and threw away his pack of medicine. Mr. went to pick it up again and put it back in his bosom like a baby. Li, looks so angry..."

Xie Duo raised his head and asked Xie An, "What did you scold him for?"

"Call Mr. Han to be courteous to you for fame."

Han Xiaobai: I'm so mad!I'm furious!

Big boss: If you dare to scold my wife, pay attention.
