It is difficult for the ministers! [system]

No, the gift she received was not necessarily included in the 33 taels.

It's just that the Princess Mansion is so rich, why would it accept bribes?All of this happened too quickly, so she had better ask for clarification.

"You're really sure."

Hong Shilang didn't dare to say for sure.

He can only say now: "No matter what, Mr. Xiao, the direction of this investigation has already pointed to the Lanyue Pavilion. I don't know more about it. This matter should be left to Mr. Xiao to solve it by himself."

Immediately, he took out 1000 taels and 500 taels, and stuffed it into Xiao Yunfei's hand.

The meaning is obvious, I don't want the 1000 taels you gave me, and I will pay you back the 500 taels.

Xiao Yunfei understood what he meant.

She said speechlessly: "Don't be nervous, maybe things are not that bad, or there may be something hidden in it."

This time the matter was so serious that even the boss did not dare to intervene easily.

So much so that Hong Shilang made up his mind and said: "No matter what hidden secrets, in short, I have no right to investigate the matter of Lanyue Pavilion, and I can't make credit for it."

Xiao Yunfei took a step back and said, "Since you are so afraid, you might as well help me. When the time comes, you will still get the credit that the Ministry of Punishment should have."

Hong Shilang still couldn't believe it: "But what if it fails."

This person is also too timid, as expected, there are as many officials as there are senior officials, and he will coax the soldiers into a nest.

It really can't compare to the Ministry of War. If you look at Liu Shoucheng, he can't afford to mess with complicated characters, and Zuo Shilang, he is capable but a little bloated.

It seems that the competitiveness of the Ministry of War is much higher than that of other departments. Why didn't the big boss transfer her to other departments?This way she can climb up too!

Xiao Yunfei said: "Master Hong, you have been an official for ten years, and you should know that there are risks in everything you do. If you don't take risks, how can you get more credit."

Hong Shilang said: "Then according to Master Xiao's words, you have a solution."

"From now on, you can just listen to me."

"What Lord Xiao said is very true, then Hong will follow the Lord."

Although Xiao Yunfei likes to take money as she should, she never touches what she shouldn't.

"Then you should keep the money."

Hong Shilang touched the money back: "I'm really ashamed, Mr. Xiao."

Xiao Yunfei said: "Nothing, everyone will seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and everyone will be afraid. After all, she is the eldest princess of the royal family of the Great Zhou Kingdom, not an ordinary princess with a title."

"Master Xiao, what should I do next?"

"Follow me to Lanyue Pavilion."

As soon as these words came out, Hong Shilang's legs suddenly went limp: "qaq Lord Xiao, please don't hurt me!"

Xiao Yunfei frowned and said: "Get up, you and I are both servants, although we are in different departments, but you won't kneel to me."

Hong Shilang refused to get up: "My future depends on you."

This made Xiao Yunfei feel that the teammates she recruited were either pig teammates or coward teammates, how could she ask them for help when she had something to do in the future.

Xiao Yunfei had a headache and said: "Hey, since I have involved you in this matter, I will definitely be responsible to the end. After all, I am also the queen of San Gong!"

Hong Shilang finally took a reassurance: "Yes, yes, after the third prince, Mr. Xiao is after the third prince. Except for treason, only the royal family can judge you, but the lord must cover me."

"OK OK."

The two upper officials by the stable were chatting there.

The lower official who happened to pass by this time witnessed this scene.

Zuo Qianhu asked in a daze, "Mr. Du, am I dazzled? Why did I see Mr. Hong kneeling in front of our lords.

Du Tao: ... You read that right, Hong Shilang was still hooking shoulders with our adults in the morning, but in the afternoon, he was kneeling in front of our adults.

Zuo Qianhu: "Wow, although we don't know what's going on, our lord is really amazing."

This matter has been investigated for several hours.

For the subsequent investigation, Xiao Yunfei took Hong Shilang to visit Lanyue Pavilion. Although Lanyue Pavilion is the princess's other courtyard and entertainment venue for many ladies from aristocratic families, it is still secret after all.

Especially the head of Lanyue Pavilion, seeing that thick-skinned guy coming, he wanted to cry but had no tears.

The principal walked over and said, "Master Xiao, you are here."

Xiao Yunfei didn't talk nonsense, the business was important right now, she had a lot to tell Li Tang now.

She said: "Master, I want to meet a distinguished guest today."

"Didn't you see it a few days ago?"

"A few days ago was a few days ago."

The principal hesitated and said, "It seems that the distinguished guest has no time now."

Xiao Yunfei insisted that she wanted to stay here: "Then we wait for the distinguished guest, do you mind the master?"

The chief hurriedly said: "Don't dare, how dare you, I'll go and inform the chief above."

"By the way, add more tea, more snacks, is there any fruit?"

Master Hong: ...

It feels like Mr. Xiao regards this place as his own home.

Afterwards, a lot of fruits that were not in season were served. Only the nobles in the capital could eat such a good thing. After all, they were all shipped from Hainan Island.

Hong Shilang felt uneasy about eating: "Master Xiao, is it really okay for us to eat and drink here?"

Xiao Yunfei said speechlessly: "I found that you were shy like a tortoise when you entered Lanyue Pavilion. You are a servant after all, can you sit up straighter?"

Hong Shilang hesitated to speak but said: "I think it's Mr. Xiao, you don't know about the eldest princess..."

The Eldest Princess is terrible. All the factions in the court compete with each other and exclude each other. Everyone is vying to flatter His Majesty and fight for meritorious deeds. But many officials dare not provoke Zhao Xiang at all, and they also dare not provoke the Eldest Princess.

Even though the eldest princess is very low-key now, anyone who knows the situation of the court will feel that the eldest princess is terrible.For example, although the [-] soldiers who sacrificed did not find the inner ghost, none of the people who participated in being bandits in the northwest mountainous area were wiped out by Wen Qing under the eldest princess. Cut the weeds and uprooted them.

This is why His Majesty has been secretly attacking the power of Her Highness the Princess recently, because Her Majesty's power has risen with the momentum of the east wind.

Xiao Yunfei asked strangely: "What happened to the eldest princess?"

"no no."

"If you don't have the guts to hang out with me, go back."

Hong Shilang immediately said: "How can that be done, Mr. Xiao, have you heard of Wen Qing?"

She has heard of Wen Qing, who is said to be the descendant of Wen Gong, the first great general to protect the country. His family has been fighting with the current royal family for nearly 300 years. There are not many loyal warriors, and his elder brother Wen Fei is even more The military general in front of Emperor Mingguang was a big celebrity, and he had already been appointed as the Chief Imperial Palace by Emperor Mingguang at a young age.

Yu Zongsi is equivalent to Emperor Mingguang's right-hand man in the ranks of military officers, and is directly in charge of the safety of the entire capital. Unlike Zhao Xiang's city guards, he is guarding a relatively remote area of ​​the capital.The Yu Zongsi is in charge of public security in the bustling area.

Even Wen Fei married the third princess and became the first man in the entire generals family to have this honor.

Compared with the power of generals in this prosperous age, the power of generals is often restricted by Emperor Mingguang, who usually only suppresses them. As a general, Wen Fei is even valued for the sake of marrying his daughter, which shows how much Emperor Mingguang valued Wen Fei.

Xiao Yunfei said: "I've heard that Wen Fei is the younger brother of Chief Yu."

"I heard that General Wen Qing has made countless meritorious deeds recently and has accumulated military merits. Now he is the general in charge of one side."

Hong Shilang began to gossip: "Not only that, recently I heard that Her Highness the Princess intends to let General Wen Qing return to Beijing."

What greeted us was Xiao Yunfei's indifferent response: "Oh."

Hong Shilang was very puzzled.

"Master Xiao didn't have any other reactions?"

"How should I react?"

Hong Shilang stepped up and said: "I heard that General Wen Qing has also reached the age when he should get married. Also, Her Royal Highness should have married a long time ago, but it was delayed because of her real power."

Xiao Yunfei still acted in her own way.

"and then?"

Hong Shilang felt that the emperor was really not in a hurry and the eunuchs were in a hurry.

He said: "Master Xiao, are you pretending not to know, or are you pretending not to know?"

Xiao Yunfei admits that even if she shows no interest now.

But her ears couldn't help but prick up: "You, what do you want to say?"

Hong Shilang said: "Now that there is one Wen Fei, there is no guarantee that there will be another Wen Qing."

Xiao Yunfei didn't take it seriously at first, but it was hard not to take it seriously when Shilang Hong continued to speak in such an orderly manner, and her attention gradually shifted towards Li Tang's marriage.

Even her mood became a little heavy, because she didn't know the specific reason, but it was really harsh at the moment.

She immediately said: "Shut up, how is it possible?"

Seeing that she clearly cared about her, Hong Shilang pretended to care.

He continued to gossip: "As the saying goes, if a man is talented and a woman is beautiful, if a husband loves a concubine, he will be like a fire."

Before he finished speaking, Hong Shilang suddenly felt someone walking in front of him. When he looked up, he saw Xiao Yunfei standing above him and staring at him, his eyes were almost cross-eyed.

Hong Shilang was so frightened that he quickly moved his chair and took a step back: "Oh my mother, Mr. Xiao, what are you doing so close to scare me to death?"

Xiao Yunfei said in a bad tone: "What kind of men are talented and women are beautiful? I admit that the princess is beautiful, but what is a hot spring? Is he as good-looking as me?"

Hong Shilang was so frightened by her that he still hadn't recovered: "Master Xiao, it's Wen Qing, not the hot spring."

Now Xiao Yunfei finally couldn't bear it anymore.

She said coldly: "I don't care who he is called Wen, duck plague, chicken plague, His Majesty must not marry Princess Guantao to a big bastard."

Hong Shilang still felt that the matter was not big enough, so he continued to gossip: "Then if the princess surrenders her status and wants Her Majesty to fulfill the marriage, it is impossible."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yunfei turned over his cuffs.

Hong Shilang watched Xiao Yunfei take away his bank note with a dazed expression.

He said: "Huh? Master Xiao, what are you doing? Master Xiao, that is my money. You shouldn't be angry because of what you are doing."

Xiao Yunfei held up the bank note and said boldly: "How can I be angry, I will keep the 500 taels for a thousand miles first."

"why?"

"I'm afraid you'll mess around."

"I don't care what you do..."

The two argued for a while, and the master finally came back.

The principal said politely: "My lord, the distinguished guest said that he is not free, so please come back tomorrow."

Xiao Yunfei was a little irritable, but Li Tang didn't come to see her at this time.

She simply took the sheep by hand and said, "Please pack two servings of the fruits here, one for Mr. Hong."

When Hong Shilang heard that Xiao Yunfei got himself a piece of fruit, he smiled politely, "Hehehe, no need."

"Then don't give it to Master Hong."

"Don't, don't, it's really rare to be able to eat Hainan Island's seasonal fruits this season."

The master knew that every time Mr. Xiao came over, he would eat something and take something out of the house.

Waiting for the two of them to leave the door with a fruit basket.

Hong Shilang was still thinking about the previous incident, and said: "Master Xiao, let me tell you that although we have only known each other for a short time, I have hit you off right away, and I also heard that you had a close relationship with Lanyue Pavilion a while ago, and you often suspected that you were with the princess. See you."

"But I support you. How can a good princess, Her Royal Highness, let a big bastard get away with it? It's us civil servants who know elegance and taste, so it's better for you to work harder."

Xiao Yunfei felt a fly buzzing in her ears: "You don't want this fruit anymore."

Hong Shilang immediately protected a large basket of fruits, and said, "I'm just advising you, why are you angry, remember to return the bank notes to me."

Xiao Yunfei chased him away like a fly: "Okay, you go back, and what I promised you will definitely be done. And I'm not angry."

Before Hong Shilang left with the fruit, he couldn't help thinking about it.

He whispered: "Obviously I'm angry, and I still show it on my face... If you want me to say don't lose face, who is the eldest princess? She is His Majesty's darling..."

"Let's go, you."

Xiao Yunfei suddenly became inexplicably irritable to the extreme, and she scratched her hair impatiently.

What does her gossip matter to me? !Why should I care!
