After rebirth, I became the villain's Mr.

Tao Jiusi went out under the scorching sun that day, and after a few steps on the horse, he was overwhelmed by the scorching thirst of the hot summer, so he got off the horse, found a teahouse, and bought a pot of tea to quench his thirst.

Although it was still early, many people were already sitting in the tea room enjoying the cool air. The strange thing was that these people were either sitting or standing, and without exception, they were reading with a piece of paper in their hands, and they were still muttering words.

Tao Jiusi thought to himself, what kind of recitation competition is Jingluo going to hold?Or did the Imperial College organize some reading activities?

In Nahan, there was a man sitting at Tao Jiusi's table, holding up a paper in embarrassment and saying: "My lord, I, I can't read, can you read?"

Tao Jiusi looked at the man's flushed cheeks and waterfall of sweat on his forehead, and immediately handed him a large bowl of tea, saying, "Brother, drink some tea first, and let me see what the paper says." .”

Tao Jiusi looked at the paper while drinking tea, but after a while, the red-faced man saw the gentle man in front of him, his eyes and lips were filled with surprise.

The red-faced man asked eagerly, "What did you say on the paper?"

What was said on the paper was that last month David Baoshun, the magistrate of Baoshun County, came all the way to the capital to write a letter, and by the way, he bumped his head to death at Zhengtianmen.

It stands to reason that although this matter will be discussed by the people of Jingluo for a while after dinner, it will be forgotten, and the enthusiasm will definitely not be too long. After all, there are endless new things in Jingluo, and everyone is used to the enthusiasm for nothing but a stick of incense.

But this time there was a subtle difference. The papers brought by the county magistrate at that time somehow got out, and were printed into thousands or tens of thousands of copies, which were circulated in Jingluo City.

The red-faced man wiped his sweat and urged, "My lord, what did you say on the paper?"

Tao Jiusi pursed his lips and remained silent. He found that the way he had been waiting for the big event came back in a much more vigorous way than in his previous life.

In the previous life, after the death of the county magistrate, the excerpts were only read by six ministers. Even so, there was a lot of turmoil. I don't know if the momentum in this life is much bigger, and the final outcome is even more uncontrollable.

Tao Jiusi didn't speak, but a scholar at the next table started to read in frustration: "There are unscrupulous women in David's harem, who control the government and play tricks, making the country unstable and internally weak. The severe drought is actually a warning from the heavens. Your Majesty should be close to the virtuous and far away from the sycophants, eradicate the vixen, and select virtuous people to enter the East Palace as soon as possible. If not, the severe drought will definitely intensify, and David will be crumbling."

The red man finally heard the gossip, and answered with satisfaction: "This foxy...isn't she talking about Concubine Du Gui?"

The scholar said: "Naturally it is Concubine Du Gui. You may not know that this Concubine Du Gui is also a strange person. It is said that when she was born..."

What scholars say is chasing after wind and shadow, and those who sit idle have the right to listen to it as a story.Tao Jiusi couldn't sit still any longer, took a piece of paper, got up and galloped into the palace.

When I arrived at the Ministry of Officials, there were indeed discussions everywhere, the same department, the same piece of news, colleagues exchanged gossip, all looking like they were waiting for a good show.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Du Qingyao pulled Tao Jiusi aside, and said in his ear, "Have you heard?"

Tao Jiusi nodded, and said in a low voice, "It is estimated that no one in Beijing will know about this."

Du Qingyao asked: "What do you think is going on? Could it be that Baoshun's county magistrate is really sincere?"

Tao Jiusi shook his head: "Someone must have instigated him. His memorial was originally to describe the disaster and asked the court to reduce taxes and provide timely relief. But at the end, he insisted on involving some warning from heaven. He is not afraid of offending His Majesty, let alone Baoshun." fruit to eat?"

Du Qingyao pondered: "Could it be that my aunt played tricks again?"

Tao Jiusi knew what was going on in his heart, but it was not convenient to talk to Du Qingyao at this time, so he shook his head and said, "I don't think so."

While speaking, Zhu Shunli entered the gate of the official department, with a sullen handsome face, and said dully: "Lord Tao, Lord Du, I have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

Du Qingyao pinched his chin and gloated, "I heard the bad news."

Zhu Shunli: "Lord Tao, the imperial concubine asked me to pass on a message, asking you to come with me to the Hall of Zhengxin."

Du Qingyao hurriedly said, "Does the good news mean that the bad news is fake?"

Zhu Shunli shook his head with a sad face: "No, the good news is that I was promoted and became the Minister of Dali Temple."

Du Qingyao was surprised: "It's such a great thing, why are you so embarrassed?"

Zhu Shunli: "I'm afraid of losing my life if I get promoted too much and too fast."

Although Tao and Du were used to Zhu Shunli's brain circuit, they were still speechless for a while.

Tao Jiusi asked, "Then where did Qian Ning go?"

Zhu Shunli: "Naturally, I will go to the Ministry of War to make up for Xu Yi's vacancy."

Du Qingyao suddenly said with emotion: "I am a second-generation official with background and strength, how come I can't get promoted faster than you two?"

Tao Jiusi patted Du Qingyao on the shoulder: "There is a long way to go, Brother Du."

After saying that, I went to the Hall of Zhengxin with Zhu Shunli.

Concubine Du Gui being able to meet the two of them in the Hall of Zhengxin naturally shows that not only was she not punished for being called a vixen, but she also took the opportunity to sing a crying scene full of emotion, which made Wei Wuyue, who wanted to get rid of her emotions and desires , and was dragged back to the mortal world.

At this time, His Majesty the Emperor, who came down to earth by chance, was sitting in a side hall talking to ordinary people: "Your name is Zhu Shunli? I have some impressions. Lord Yang said that you are very capable, and recommended you to be the Minister of Dali Temple. I hope you can check it carefully. Case, return Aifei's innocence."

Then he said: "Tao Aiqing, Concubine Ai has always valued you, and this time I also hope that I will arrange for you to investigate this case with Zhu Aiqing."

Concubine Du Gui sat aside, her eyes were really red, she took the words: "Master Tao, you know that I am a human being, so why did you take care of the government? I reckon, Rong and now that he has grown up, the emperor intends to establish As a prince, he has been envied and hated for no reason. According to this palace, someone must have taken the opportunity to stir up trouble, you must investigate the case carefully, and don't let down this palace's kindness and expectations of you."

Tao Jiusi said: "Your minister obeys the order, and those who are cleared will be cleared by themselves, so you don't have to worry about it."

Concubine Du Gui said: "Of course I am innocent, but I hate that some people spread rumors and cause trouble, and it would not be beautiful to delay Rong Yu's future."

Wei Wuyue embraced Du Xiangrong, and said: "My concubine, don't worry, I won't let this kind of dirty water splash on Rong'er."

He turned to Tao and Zhu and said, "The two lovers are stepping down for the time being, and you can report any progress at any time."

After Tao Zhu saluted, they left Zhengxin Hall under the leadership of the servants.

Inside the Hall of Zhengxin, Du Xiangrong still had a pitiful appearance, and said gently, "Your Majesty, although this concubine has a clear conscience, but being slandered by this, I think it's the result of not being perfect. I invite you to take the title of imperial concubine. Wear regular clothes and hand over the management of the harem."

Wei Wuyue was shocked, and said: "My concubine, I absolutely don't believe these rumors, you don't have to be too sad and blame yourself."

Du Xiangrong said: "Your Majesty, since this trick is aimed at me, so what if we take a step back in order to tolerate me? As long as our tolerance is good, even if it takes my life, let them take it."

After all, she kept crying again.Concubine Du Gui was already beautiful, so crying so silently made her even more miserable.

Seeing Wei Wuyue, she really felt distressed, and secretly thought that she should establish a prince as soon as possible, so as to avoid these nasty things from happening again.

Concubine Du Gui is Wei Wuyue's first side concubine. They are about the same age. After getting married, they love each other very much and have been a couple of gods and immortals for many years.Later, the late emperor appointed Duan Yanhan to be Wei Wuyue's main wife. Although Duan Yanhan was the most attractive to David, Wei Wuyue missed his old love, and his heart was still with Du Xiangrong.In addition, Du Xiangrong is good at manipulating men, sometimes she looks weak and helpless, and sometimes she is shrewd and capable. After so many years, she has never lost her favor.

After Duan Yanhan was sent to Eastern Qi, Wei Wuyue wanted to make Du Xiangrong the empress, but Du Xiangrong said that she was not virtuous enough to be the empress. Wei Wuyue loved her even more when she saw that she was well-behaved and sensible.

Concubine Du Gui this time invited her to lose the title of imperial concubine, and she was only going forward with her retreat.

There is no queen in David's harem, Concubine Du Gui was in charge of all affairs in the past, now she goes to eat fast and chant Buddha, Concubine Jing is still in confinement, Wei Wuyue can only lift Wang Zhaoyi's position, confer the title of concubine De, and temporarily take charge of the harem.

Wang Zhaoyi is weak and kind, and Wei Wuyue is very annoyed by her management of the harem.

However, Tao Jiusi and Zhu Shunli naturally didn't know about the emperor's housework. After receiving the imperial edict, the two of them investigated the case in Dali Temple with their clothes untied. They never returned home.

Zhu Shunli was looking through a list of Gongsheng students ten years ago, and Tao Jiusi was also looking at the resume of the Baoshun county magistrate. The two of them were thousands of miles away, trying to find some clues through the county magistrate's information.

Tao Jiusi vaguely remembered that it was Qian Ning who finally found out about this incident, but he didn't know Zhu Shunli in his previous life, and he didn't know how to find the evidence, so he did it all over again, even if he knew the culprit, he still had to rely on himself A little investigation and evidence collection.

Tao Jiusi said: "The name of this county magistrate is Wang Haoliang. He was a Jinshi in 37, but he was released as an eighth-rank county magistrate because of his poor ranking. I wish you to look through the 37-year Jinshi and see who else is there. People are also divided into Baoshun."

It is obviously a fantasy that a small county magistrate has contact with the Beijing officials, and even the prince. The two are trying their best to find the connection between Wang Haoliang and the capital.

Zhu Shunli began to search according to the words, and Tao Jiusi continued to look at the resume, and read: "Wang Haoliang's wife passed away, and he has a son under his knee, who is about fourteen or fifteen years old this year."

Tao Jiu thought about this, and suddenly said: "Oops, I forgot to tell His Royal Highness that there will be no class tonight, and he is still waiting for me right now." He frowned and said: "There is a table in the yard that I brought yesterday. Fruits and vegetables, I don’t know if he has eaten them or not.”

Zhu Shunli raised his head and said quietly: "Master Tao, your tone is really strange, it seems to be talking about your son."

"Oh? Mr. Tao has a son?"

Suddenly, a voice sounded behind the two of them. Tao Jiusi turned his head and saw that it was Wei Lingxue he was talking about.
