With Fu Ling's words, how could Zeng Cheng disagree.

Fearing that Fu Ling would regret it the next moment, he quickly asked his subordinates to pass the news back to Beiyan.After all, developing underground forces in the capital and inquiring about news are just a matter of convenience. His real purpose in coming to the capital is to bring Fu Ling back to Beiyan.

Although Dayu's undercurrents are turbulent, strictly speaking, Beiyan's current situation is not much better. The Holy Lord also ordered people to warn him to move faster a few days ago.Now that Fu Ling took the initiative to deliver it to his door, Zeng Cheng couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Although Xie Zhao is a trouble, it is also a useful trouble.

At least for now, he is still very useful.

"The deal is done."

Zeng Cheng straightened up and looked at Fu Ling, who was cold and expressionless, with a smile.Facing the peaceful eyes of the other party, he tapped lightly on the small table in front of him a few times with his fingertips, and said in a good mood: "You have to thank your lord, the next official will naturally obey."

He stood up, stretched his waist, smiled, his eyes flickering: "In order to make you feel at ease, this time, I will go there personally - what do you think?"

Fu Ling rolled up his sleeves, stood up, and said softly, "Very good."

He raised his eyes: "Waiting for Master Zeng's good news."

Zeng Cheng grinned, and Zhang Yang smiled: "I will not disgrace—"

While Fu Ling made a deal with Zeng Cheng for Xie Zhao, other people in the capital were keenly aware that Xie Zhao might be in danger now.

This person is naturally Pei Shaonan.

On the day when Xie Zhao was appointed as the censor, Wan Xu once said to Xie Zhao that it is not suitable to travel.

Xie Zhao didn't take these words to heart, but Pei Shaonan firmly remembered them.As long as there is an imperial edict, Xie Zhao will naturally not shirk his duties because of Wan Xu's few words, so although Pei Shaonan has hidden worries in his heart, he does not stop Xie Zhao from going to Quzhou.

In order to prevent problems before they happen, Pei Shaonan sent Xie Zhao the topographical map of Quzhou before departure.

Topographic maps are the most important thing for any country.When war breaks out, once a region's topographic map and city distribution map fall into the hands of people with ulterior motives, the danger is self-evident.

The Pei family has these things only because they have been officials for generations.

Pei Shaonan knew that he shouldn't have given Xie Zhao something like a trump card.

But he still gave it.

The two had known each other since they were young, and Pei Shaonan thought he knew Xie Zhao's character better than anyone else.

He firmly believes in one thing: Xie Zhao is a person worthy of trust.

So Pei Shaonan gave Xie Zhao the topographical map of Quzhou, and asked Xie Zhao to deliver a message every five days to report his safety.Since Xie Zhao left, he has only received two letters from Xie Zhao so far.

In the second letter, Xie Zhao said that he was about to arrive in Quzhou.Since then, ten days have passed, but Pei Shaonan never received a letter from Xie Zhao again.

Xie Zhao is definitely not a sloppy person, he will never forget to write a letter to himself.

Then there are only two possibilities for him not receiving the letter: first, something happened to Xie Zhao and he was unable to write the letter himself; second, Xie Zhao wrote the letter, but the letter did not reach the capital.

No matter which possibility it is, it shows that Xie Zhao's current situation is dangerous.

As soon as Pei Shulin put on his official hat and came out, he saw Pei Shaonan standing in front of the door looking at the sky that was not completely bright yet lost in thought.He frowned and pursed his lips. From Pei Shulin's perspective, he could just see the young man's sharp jaw and slender neck.

It turns out that Xiao Yi has grown so big...

Pei Shulin couldn't hide his pride when he thought so.He gave birth to a son who is extremely intelligent and gentle as jade, who wouldn't envy him?After all, even Lin Ying, that bad-tempered person, once sighed with him, wishing that Xiao Yi was his own son.

The father and son got into the carriage together.

After the two sat down firmly, the coachman drove the carriage towards the Forbidden Court.

Pei Shulin patted Pei Shaonan on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's really thanks to my good fortune that one day I will be able to go to court with my own son."

Today is neither the Shuo Dynasty nor the Wang Dynasty. Only officials of the fifth rank and above can participate in the court meeting.

When Pei Shulin thought of his son being able to be a fifth-rank official at such a young age, and being an official in the same dynasty as him, he was so satisfied for a while that he couldn't help himself.

Now in the capital, apart from his own son, there is only one Liao Yuan's son, Liao Qingfeng, who has reached such a level at this age.

When Pei Shaonan heard his father's praise, he didn't show any joy on his face.

He was not surprised, and said calmly: "It is my grandfather and father who taught me well."

Pei Shulin was noncommittal, and asked him: "What was Xiao Yi thinking just now? When I returned to Beijing yesterday, I found that you were absent-minded and preoccupied all day long. Did you encounter any problems?"

The Pei family and the Xie family have a very close relationship, and the previous two generations were close relatives and friends.

The reason why Pei Shaonan was able to get the opportunity to be taught by Xie Hui when he was young was also obtained by his grandfather himself.Thinking of the relationship between the two families, he whispered his guess to Pei Shulin.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Pei Shulin also frowned.

"If Ah Zhao is in danger, we will definitely help."

After all, the Xie family only had such an only son.Thinking that there is only Xie Zhao left alone in the amazingly talented Xie family, Pei Shulin also suppressed his smile, and his face was serious: "After today's court, I will privately report this matter to the Holy Majesty, so that the Holy Majesty can send some more people to Qu state."

Pei Shaonan said: "All this is just my guess, I don't have enough evidence to prove that something happened to Ah Zhao."

"It's ok."

Pei Shulin said firmly: "As long as there is this possibility, His Majesty, more than anyone else, doesn't want to see something happen to Xie Zhao."

After all, this is Xie Yan's only blood in the world.

Today's early court seems to be no different from the past.

First, the people from Yushitai scolded a few words about the sacrificial wine of the Imperial College and went out to drink flower wine with others, and then the servant of the household department came out to talk about the recent financial situation.

After everyone had finished speaking, Pei Shulin stood up and began to report on the achievements of the past few years in a gentle voice.

Pei Shulin is the minister of the Ministry of Industry, which means that compared with other ministers, he has to do more things in person.

He is required to take over the country's water conservancy, farming, civil engineering, transportation and other matters.Where roads were built and where royal gardens were built, Pei Shulin had to deal with them all.

Five years ago, the river in the south flooded and flooded many farmlands and houses.Pei Shulin was entrusted by the Holy Majesty to go south to control the water. He built embankments to stop others and built ditches to divert water. He didn't return to Beijing until yesterday.

In order to prove that he has not been lazy in the past five years, he naturally wants to talk about what he has done with the Holy One.

Pei Shulin spoke clearly and logically from below, and Qin Houde nodded repeatedly when he heard it from above.

Pei Shulin is indeed a good official who does practical things, Qin Houde thought in his heart, such a down-to-earth official, after a few years of hard work, it will not be a problem to become a first-rank Taifu in the future.

Pei Shulin spoke dryly, and finally finished talking about the past five years.

The sage above said yes repeatedly with a satisfied expression, and Pei Shulin felt relieved.He knelt down and kowtowed to the Holy Majesty for the reward, and heaved a sigh of relief and returned to the queue.

Pei Shulin originally thought that today's court meeting was coming to an end, but he never expected that the turmoil just started, and he happened to be in the center of the storm.

Chen Fu was about to shout to retreat, but he saw Jia Yongshao, Minister of the Ministry of War, who had been silent in the past, stand out holding the wat board, and without laying the groundwork, he said loudly: "I have a memorial!"

Before everyone could react, they heard him say in a deep voice: "I want to impeach Mr. Pei, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, for corrupting the law!"

Corruption?

This accusation caused an immediate uproar.

Pei Shulin gasped immediately, and quickly stood up to confront Jia Yongshao: "Jia Daren, don't spit blood on people, and if you want to impeach me, please show evidence!"

How can this crime of corruption and breaking the law be carried on his body?This is a life-threatening crime!

"Master Pei wants evidence?"

Jia Yongshao sneered, took out a notebook from his pocket and handed it to Chen Fu, asking him to present it to Qin Houde: "Since you want evidence, of course I will give you evidence, so that you can be convinced."

While Qin Houde was frowning and flipping through the notebook, Jia Yongshao said in a deep voice: "Three years ago, the Holy Lord ordered the minister to be in charge of building the mausoleum together with Mr. Pei. This mausoleum construction is a top priority. I couldn't believe Pei at the beginning." My lord dares to even think about the cost of building a mausoleum."

The so-called building mausoleums means building imperial mausoleums.

But every emperor always has to think about the things behind him when he is alive, and Qin Houde is no exception.Three years ago, Qin Houde handed over the construction of the mausoleum to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry. These two ministries are fully responsible for all matters: the Ministry of War is responsible for recruiting people, and the Ministry of Industry is responsible for building the mausoleum.

At that time, Pei Shulin was still busy controlling the water in the south, and after finalizing the general matter of building the mausoleum, he handed over the matter to the minister of the Ministry of Industry.

Jia Yongshao glanced at Pei Shulin, who was silent, with gloomy eyes: "In the past, the prices of purchased items submitted by the Ministry of Industry were much higher than the market; The price offered is obviously much lower than the price on the booklet.”

Speaking of this, he said with a half-smile: "If it wasn't for the fact that the minister had a good mind and sent someone to investigate after seeing the wrong number, how would he know that such a noble person as Mr. Pei would commit corruption?"

The minister of the Ministry of Industry was single-handedly promoted by Pei Shulin.

But at this moment, listening to Jia Yongshao's words in his ear, Pei Shulin knelt down on the ground, feeling a chill down his back: It was obvious that he had been betrayed.

Standing in the queue, Pei Shaonan's strength in holding the wat board gradually increased, and even blue veins appeared on the back of his hand.

In sight, his father who had just returned to Beijing was kneeling on the ground weakly.In Pei Shaonan's impression, Pei Shulin was an upright and arrogant person, but now, the father who taught him that a gentleman would rather bend than bend turned his back on him, bending his back for the first time.

Facing the ridiculous accusation, he twitched his lips a few times, and didn't even know how to defend himself.

Pei Shaonan closed his eyes, only to feel that there was a flame burning in his chest, so hot that his skin was cold at the moment, but his blood was boiling.

He belatedly understood one thing: the Pei family has never participated in party disputes, but sometimes, there are no parties, which means that the Pei family is the thorn in the eyes of all parties.

And now, it's time for them to get rid of the thorn in Pei's family.

—It turns out that everything was premeditated for a long time.

The author has something to say: There are already more than 50 chapters, and many things laid out ahead will slowly unfold, and everyone will grow a lot, including Liao Qingfeng, Xie Zhao, and Fu Ling. They all have their own paths.
