The reason why Steward Zhuang looked at Qi Yunheng with such eyes was precisely because he didn't trust Qi Yunheng and didn't want to treat him as his real master. He felt that he would not only be of no benefit to Ouyang, but would also bring many disasters to Ouyang.

But why did the old housekeeper in Zhubian show such a look?Could it be that he, like Steward Zhuang, is wary of Qi Yunheng, His Majesty the Emperor?

Ouyang observed carefully for a while, and soon found that although the old housekeeper was watching them secretly, although he was on guard, he didn't see any hatred or resentment, more like fear.And the old butler didn't just pay attention to unexpected guests like Qi Yunheng and Ouyang. When he stared at his master Zhu Bian, he also showed nervousness, worry and fear in another sense.

This is not the attitude a loyal servant should have, Ouyang thought.

So, is there something wrong with Ju Bian, or is there something wrong with this old butler?

With a change of mind, Ouyang made a decision——

Just look it up.

That night, after sending Qi Yunheng away, Ouyang called his housekeeper over and asked him to go to Zhu Bian's mansion to fight against Zhu Bian's old housekeeper.

For such an inexplicable job, the butler Zhuang was very reluctant.

But the distance is not far, and there is no trouble. The butler Zhuang complained a few words about his master's whim, and then went to work honestly.

When Steward Zhuang came back from Zhu Bian's mansion, the expression on his face changed 180 degrees.

Similarly, after listening to Steward Zhuang finish the investigation results, Ouyang also flew over an unformed Wu Da, and there were only two words left in his mind——

I rely on!

In Ouyang's view, a guy like Zhu Bian who wanted to do bad things but turned out to be an extremely human minister is really sad enough from a certain point of view.

Of course, in the eyes of the old housekeeper in Zhu Bian, his master was never a villain, it was only because of a sudden change that his family was ruined that he turned black in anger and became a villain.

But now, the family's vendetta has been avenged long ago, and Zhu Bian himself has become famous and rich.The old butler only hoped that he could remarry and have a son, to spread the branches and leaves for his old master, and live the rest of his life happily.However, Zhu Bian wanted to go to Hei with all his heart, and he didn't mean to put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately.

The old butler couldn't persuade his master, and he was worried that what his master had done and what he was about to do would be discovered by others, and they would be stabbed to the emperor.

"What evil is this Zhu Shangshu planning to do now?" Ouyang asked curiously.

"It seems that they want to provoke the relationship between your emperor's wife and Qin Guogong, force that Qin Guogong to oppose him, or let your emperor's wife take the lead in raising the butcher knife against that Qin Guogong." Zhuang Steward shrugged, " It seems that there is another plan, but Master Zhu's willpower is quite strong, so it is not easy to deal with. I cast a spell from a distance, but it didn't work, and it aroused his vigilance, so I didn't dare to get close .The things I told you were all dug out from the mouth of the housekeeper, and it is not ruled out that there are elements of imagination, and there may be a little difference from the reality."

Ecstasy is not a panacea, and it cannot directly read memory. The most depressing thing is to encounter a neuropathy that treats fantasy as reality.

But even if Zhu Bian's housekeeper was sick, it wouldn't be too serious, and the things that came out of his mouth, at least there would be no major problems in terms of framework.

——However, the relationship between Qi Yunheng and Qin Guogong is still being provoked by Zhu Bian?

—— Just a piece of fake jade seal is enough for Qi Yunheng to hate Qin Guogong for a lifetime!

——His wife's mind is so small that she can compete with him!

Ouyang Xin slandered, but asked the butler Zhuang: "Can you put a nail in this person's side?"

Ouyang has no interest in stopping Zhu Bian from doing bad things and harming people, but he has to prevent Zhu Bian from suddenly becoming blackened to the point of madness one day, and committing an assassination like "Jing Ke Assassinates the King of Qin" and hurting his wife—even if he didn't It's not good to be hurt or startled.

But it is not feasible to tell Qi Yunheng directly about this matter.

Firstly, Ouyang couldn't produce evidence to prove this; secondly, he couldn't explain how he knew about it.

Empty talk and white teeth, if you say it casually, it seems to be sowing discord, maybe it will make Qi Yunheng suspect him in turn—Qi Yunheng may not suspect that he is lying, but he will definitely suspect that he has hidden power, and then think about it. .

"Let me give it a try." Zhuang steward frowned, but did not say anything dead, "Master Zhu's family is not big, and like our house, no newcomers are needed. It is almost impossible to bring in newcomers, but if you buy them , we have to find the kind of confidant who will serve him by his side, anyway, it is still very difficult... I say master, we can't hurry up and just..."

The butler Zhuang cut his throat.

"Your wife still needs him to work!" Ouyang shook his head and rejected the proposal of the butler Zhuang.

Qi Yunheng is now in the helpless stage of "you have to be suspicious of people, and you have to use people you doubt".

As long as he can do things for the emperor, even if he has ulterior motives like Qin Guogong, as long as he doesn't pierce the window paper and tear his face, Qi Yunheng will tolerate it and squeeze out the value of this person first.

Moreover, Ouyang doesn't think Zhu Bian is so dangerous.

The villains who really do bad things don't need to look forward and backward like him, and do all kinds of calculations. Just setting a few fires on the street is more effective than his current method.

What's more, judging from Zhuang Guanjia's description, Zhu Bian still has a bit of a bookish spirit, very high-spirited, dismissive of small evils, and insists on creating major events that will disrupt the world.

But based on Ouyang's experience, as long as anything involves the world, it will inevitably provoke God to intervene, and God likes to tease people the most. Everything he interferes with should be like this sentence--it is up to you to make things happen In the sky, the influence of luck will be above everything else, and only relying on heart and hard work will not produce results.

Because of this, those who want to disrupt the world are likely to benefit the world without knowing it, while those who want to benefit the world with all their heart are more likely to create the "green crop law" that only has good intentions. , but the result was a big black pot that harmed the whole world.

"Just give it a try." Ouyang said, "If it doesn't work, you don't have to force it."

Anyway, in two months, he will return to Qi Yunheng's side.

Even now, there will be no shortage of loyal people around Qi Yunheng who can sacrifice their lives to protect the Lord.

In a few days, the second grand court meeting in April arrived as scheduled.

This time, no matter whether it was in progress or after the end, there were no more moths.

During the period, although some officials publicly impeached Ouyang for killing innocent people, they were easily dismissed by Qi Yunheng in an understatement, and the official was questioned until he was speechless and ashamed.

After the Great Court Meeting, Ouyang left Xuanyuan Palace while yawning like last time, and did not go to Qiankun Palace with Qi Yunheng.

But this time it wasn't Ouyang's temper, but Qi Yunheng wanted to discuss the restructuring with the ministers in a sober state, and he really didn't dare to keep Ouyang by his side to affect his emotions and reason.What's more, Qi Yunheng and Ouyang had already driven an express train in the Qiankun Palace before the grand court meeting started, pouring out their desires in a torrent of wind and rain. Today's great court meeting ended early, and neither of them survived. Get ready to fight another round.

But just when Ouyang walked out of Xuanyuan Palace, Lu Zhuo chased after him again, but he had already received the transfer order from the official department, and he would leave Beijing to take up his post after the handover, so he wanted to invite Ouyang out to eat before leaving After drinking, thank him for dealing with himself in front of the emperor, so that his family can be preserved.

"You don't need to thank me, you don't resent me for kicking you out of the capital to suffer." Ouyang said indifferently.

"How could it be!" Lu Zhuo immediately shook his head like a rattle, "I understand, you made this arrangement for my own good, and picked me out of this muddy water."

In fact, when Lu Zhuo first heard the order to transfer abroad, he also felt a little resentful, thinking that Ouyang was deliberately punishing him, and sent him to a remote village to suffer some hardships through the emperor's hand.

However, it is impossible to hide this matter from the family - according to the usual practice, Lu Zhuo has to take his wife out of Beijing to take up the post, so Lu Zhuo can only tell his wife about it.

Then, Lu Zhuo's wife became suspicious and "tortured" Lu Zhuo, and finally forced Lu Zhuo to tell the whole story, not only about the deal between him and Zhang Carpenter and Yu Gugu, but also Zhang Zhuo. The reward given to him by the carpenter and Yu Gu Gu has been exposed by the huge sum of money he hid as his private house.

Lu Zhuo's wife suddenly became furious, scolded Lu Zhuo severely, and then quickly changed her face, crying heart and soul, and finally let Lu Zhuo break free from the gap between self-pity and blaming others, He is soberly aware of how big a mistake he has made - not only did he not go to join Ouyang as soon as he returned to Beijing, but he also failed to hold on to the end, and got involved with the remnants of the previous dynasty, with a small amount of money. The fifth-rank official status serves as a protective umbrella for others-such a terrible toss, not to mention being transferred out of Beijing, or being demoted and dismissed.

Seeing that Lu Zhuo understood, Lu Zhuo's wife sorted out the situation he was facing from the beginning to the end, so that he could fully understand: now he can no longer be a straight minister, he can only hug the emperor Jiuqian tightly. year-old thigh, praying that his boss Ou can speak to His Majesty the Emperor, and remember to speak to him.

After such an in-depth explanation, Lu Zhuo proposed today's request to Ouyang at the suggestion of his wife.

But Ouyang has no interest in drinking.

"It's fine to eat and drink, it's not convenient for me to go out now."

—especially holidays.

Ouyang shook his head, but did not accept Lu Zhuo's invitation.

Lu Zhuo suddenly showed a look of disappointment, like a puppy who was rejected by others.

Ouyang twitched the corners of his mouth, and added soothingly, "Tell me when you're leaving, so I can prepare Cheng Yi for you."

"Don't, don't!" Lu Zhuo hurriedly waved his hands, "How dare you spend money!"

"Don't talk nonsense with me!" Ouyang glared at Lu Zhuo impatiently, "If you talk too much, believe it or not, I'll beat you up?!"

"Trust!" Lu Zhuo subconsciously nodded, and then laughed a few more times, but in the end he didn't dare to say no again.
