After seeing off Han Jiao, Liu Tong was still immersed in excitement.

He finally understood why King Yan and several princes liked Han Jiao.

Perhaps this kid is not a flattering person who is following others, but just knows how to reciprocate and benefit with others, and others will naturally get close to him.

After calming down a little, Liu Tong began to think about the authenticity of this matter.

If it is fake, what purpose will Han Jiao have?

Want to make him lose his job?

Why did Han Jiao, a prince's favored minister who is in full swing, take action on Zhan Shi, who has a gloomy future in Yanwangfu?

Liu Tong used to treat Han Jiao as if he was a junior, not to mention respectful, but he never blushed, and he never had any public disputes in private.

Han Jiao didn't seem to be aware of his disrespect, and always smiled when he saw him, he really looked like a junior, and it was said that the two of them had no grudges against each other.

Even if there is some dissatisfaction hidden in his heart, now that Han Jiao is a celebrity in front of the prince, if he wants to make him lose his official position, do he still need to go to the door to deceive him in person?

What's more, even if Han Jiao had the guts of a bear, he wouldn't dare to lie about the words of the prince. ?

After ruling out the possibility of conspiracy, Liu Tong blushed again with excitement.

When his wife entered the bedroom, she asked him why he was so happy, and he only said that it was because he had just discussed academics with his colleagues and gained a little.

The wife was a little suspicious, but since the crown prince fell into the hands of King Ling, her husband hadn't smiled for a day, and he sighed all day long, lamenting his bad luck. I dare not ask more questions.

Even after confirming the truth of the matter, Liu Tong still hesitated: If the crown prince already has a right-hand man in a year or two, and forget about him, what should we do?

Then I thought that since Han Jiao had made a promise to him, he would naturally speak for him in front of the prince when the time came.

If not, Liu Tong only needs to send a letter to Han Jiao, giving a slight hint, and he would not dare to deny what he said today.

As long as he can return to the imperial court smoothly, even if he is a magistrate, he will have a brighter future than Zhan Shi in Yan Wangfu.

The salaries of the officials of the Great Chu were low. In the past, Liu Tong relied on his status as the teacher of the King of Yan, and he was able to enjoy the filial piety from all walks of life. Now the status of the King of Yan is not guaranteed, and his mansion is empty all night.

If this continues, his wife and children will not be able to support him, so he must seize this way out.

The determination was made, and Liu Tong explained to King Yan the next day his determination to resign.

Facing King Yan's stunned and angry expression, Liu Tong couldn't bear it.

He has been with King Yan for more than ten years, and his feelings for King Yan are not false, but if he can't bear King Yan, who can't bear him?

The loss of King Yan's reserve position will not affect Antai's life, but Liu Tong only has a salary of four taels of silver per month. Even if it is for his wife and children, he cannot miss this opportunity.

He gave King Yan two reasons for his resignation. One was that he failed to help King Yan ascend to the position of prince, and he had no face to face King Yan; He wants to see what is out of sight.

King Yan talked with him for a while, wanting to persuade him to stay, but finally sighed and did as he wished.

If it was the previous situation and status, King Yan would definitely not let him go, but now, he can't give Liu Tong any future, so letting him go might be considered kind.

After Liu Tong left, King Yan sat alone for a long time, feeling a sense of desolation in his heart that he had never felt before.

After the ninth brother was established as the prince, it has been a long time since he made a special trip to visit him.

It must be because of the busy government affairs.

King Yan comforted himself, which meant that Lao Jiu had really grown up.

Extraordinary talent and hard work, the father was right.

There is also Han Jiao's assistance.

King Yan lowered his head and muttered to himself, "Mr. Xiaobai may not have seen you for a long time."

The eunuch hurried in to announce: His Royal Highness Duan Wang is here again.

Hearing this, King Yan's dim eyes suddenly lit up, he nodded with a smile and said, "Let him come in quickly!"

Life is impermanent, King Yan never thought about it, and after eight years, Lao Qi has become the only follower he can't get rid of.

Xie Xiu brought his attendants into the door together, and the two attendants behind him were carrying a half-person-high wooden instrument in their hands.

"What is this?" Yan Wang stood up, looked at his younger brother's new invention with great interest, and suddenly remembered: "I saw you made one before, but it is much smaller than this one."

Xie Xiu pursed his lips to hold back his complacency, and stared at Sixth Brother with bright eyes: "Sixth Brother, try the wind power of this one, it's much stronger than that one."

King Yan nodded, walked around the machine and found the joystick.

Xie Xiu made this kind of equipment when he was a child.

This is a wind-making device with three fan-shaped pieces of wood. Just turn the rocker on the back of the machine ten times, and let go, and the three wooden fans in front will rotate rapidly, and can continue to fan the wind for a while. .

Xie Xiu called this machine "Blowing Fan". He was only under eight years old when he first built this thing.

At that time, the young ninth brother was still very active, jumping up and down in the imperial garden in the summer, and when it was lunch break, he made excuses and refused to rest, saying that the fan of the attendant was too weak to sleep, and the seventh brother therefore Came up with this device.

The first blower fan made was only as big as a pumpkin.

At that time, King Yan was stronger than his younger brothers. He took the initiative to run to send the fan and then turned the joystick vigorously. As soon as he let go, he flew around to the fan to feel whether it could really send air.

"The wind is much stronger than that of a fan, just like the northwest wind!" King Yan turned the joystick so that his face was covered with sweat, and he leaned in front of the fan to blow it, so comfortable that he couldn't move his feet.

Lao Qi was very proud, shaking like a tumbler and said: "The wind can be stronger, but the eight boards only have such a big wooden plank. The ninth brother is enough to use it. With it, he will be able to fall asleep quickly."

The five-year-old ninth brother was very happy when he heard the words, and impatiently put his little head in front of the blower fan. He accidentally stretched out his head, and there was a muffled "boom", and the ninth brother was directly knocked unconscious by the fast-rotating wooden board. .

King Yan was so frightened that he picked up his younger brother and shook him desperately for a long time. Fortunately, Jiudi's little head was still strong, and he woke up soon, and asked him what happened with a blank face.

Lao Qi said worriedly: "A Duo, you fell asleep just now!"

The ninth brother was stunned when he heard this, raised his chubby face, and asked him in astonishment: "The effect is so fast?"

At that time, King Yan was so angry with laughter.

However, Lao Qi didn't know what was funny, and Lao Jiu was not very sensible, so the two younger brothers stood beside the fan, looking up blankly at him and laughing alone.

King Yan was surprised that he could still remember the events of that year, and he couldn't help laughing when he thought of Lao Jiu's dazed little fleshy face.

Smiling and laughing, suddenly his eyes became a little sore.

In the eight years since Lao Qi left, he always felt that a part of his heart was missing when he played with Lao Jiu.

Now that Lao Qi is back, Lao Jiu seems to be a lot alienated.

He would rather his brothers never grow up.

After Liu Tong submitted his resignation letter, he was stopped halfway by Mr. Xu Ge, who made a private appointment with him that night for a detailed discussion.

Liu Tong was very worried about being scolded. After all, he was the only confidant of Old Xu Ge who could often get close to the King of Yan.

If I had known this before, I shouldn't have submitted my resignation in the cabinet, and I should have asked Han Jiao to find a way to bypass Elder Xu Ge.

Now that Mr. Xu Ge had noticed it, and there was no way to avoid it, Liu Tong obediently came to the door and had a meal of both soft and hard threats, before returning home listlessly.

After such a delay for a few days, Liu Tong felt unwilling, and secretly went to visit Han Jiao's house, hoping that he would pay attention to him.

"Mr. Xu Ge dares to block the resignation?" Han Jiao was also stunned: "Do other cabinet members just let him do things like this? Does Mr. Li know?"

Liu Tong shook his head: "After I handed over my resignation to the Ministry of Officials, someone must have informed Mr. Xu Ge in the Ministry of Officials, so the resignation was stopped."

Han Jiao thought for a long time, and asked Liu Tong to keep his resignation letter. He planned to find a way by himself and submit it to the imperial case through the cabinet.

However, before Han Jiao could do anything, Liu Tong actually waited for the Ministry of Punishment to interrogate him first.

The reason is that a distant cousin of Liu Tong, a small family member in Fusi, Beizhen, had an accidental death of a prisoner half a year ago.

Liu Tong broke out in a cold sweat. After careful calculation, even if his cousin committed the crime of killing the clan, he would not be implicated. Why did the Ministry of Criminal Justice want to interrogate him?

After being imprisoned and tried, he learned that the Ministry of Criminal Justice found that Liu Tong's distant cousin was far from being able to reach the position of hundreds of households based on his merits and qualifications, so he suspected that this person got in through Liu Tong's network.

This is suspected of using Liu Tong's official equipment for private use, using the power of King Xu Ge to promote his own family.

This kind of thing was not considered a serious crime in the past, because the famous people in the court would find some "shortcuts" for their relatives and even fellow countrymen.

However, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs somehow made things difficult for him. It was obvious that someone behind him wanted his life.

Ever since the Tatars raided the capital, the imperial court found out that the generals who abandoned the city had climbed up through the Yan Wang Party.

Liu Tong was caught off guard and was so frightened that he couldn't speak during the interrogation. When he regained his composure, he yelled to see King Yan, but the interrogating officer kept a straight face and ignored him at all.

There were no confessions on the first day.

After sleeping in the interrogation cell all night, Liu Tong didn't wait for King Yan's rescue, but he waited for several acquaintances.

Among them is Han Jiao.

"Xiaobai Xiandi? Why did you come in?" Liu Tong was terrified!

Are these people in the Ministry of Criminal Justice crazy?I don't know if this is the celebrity in front of the prince?

As soon as Han Jiao entered the cell, he pulled Liu Tong to a corner and asked in a low voice, "Have you ever helped those hundred households? Tell me the truth."

Liu Tong said angrily: "No! No! I was wronged! My distant cousin is a martial artist, with a rude nature, you know I always look down on such people!"

Han Jiao breathed a sigh of relief, frowned and thought about the countermeasures.

Early this morning, an officer from the Ministry of Criminal Justice asked Han Jiao to record a statement.

It turned out that there were spies secretly following Liu Tong recently, and anyone who had any contact with Liu Tong would be interrogated.

Worried that Liu Tong would lose his life before his scheme started, Han Jiao gritted his teeth and deliberately used ambiguous confessions to involve himself in it.

If Xie Duo had used this move, no matter how Han Jiao tried to find a way out, he would not be able to rescue Liu Tong in the end.

Han Jiao could only give it a go, come in and join Liu Tong's advance and retreat, maybe he can make Xie Duo slow down, so that Liu Tong's resignation can be handed in, so as to avoid the disaster of killing himself.
