I am a ruler in troubled times
Chapter 40
Just a few words have brought great harm to Ping Zhang's fragile heart.
Fortunately, the second half of 'Elopement' started in time, and Ping Zhang took advantage of the opportunity to focus all his attention on the high platform, pretending not to feel Chong Yi's ridicule.
The second half of 'Elopement' begins with the elopement of the scholar and the girl.
If we say that the first half is the beginning of love between teenagers and girls, romantic encounters have blossomed into beautiful flowers.
The second half is the murder scene where the mundane mixed with oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, pouring love flowers to death.
First, the girl's family directly announced her sudden death to the outside world in order to prevent the marriage of the girl's sisters of the same clan from being affected by her.
Then the girl and the scholar spent all the private house brought out by the girl outside, and both of them had nothing to do with childbirth and could only go home.They dare not go back to the girl's house, so they can only go back to the scholar's house.
The scholar's family refused to recognize the girl as their daughter-in-law. Instead, they blamed the girl for leading their son badly, and regarded the girl as the culprit for their son's failure to go to high school.
The girl wanted to go back to her natal family to find someone to support her, only to find that she had 'died suddenly'.
In the end, the girl had no choice but to commit herself to being a concubine for the scholar. Her natal mother and elder brother were willing to subsidize the girl in private, but they refused to meet her again.
The girl gave all the money to the scholar to continue studying, and she worked as a cow and a horse for the scholar's family, doing all the hard work that she had never done in her natal family, just because the scholar promised that he would tell his parents when he was in high school and marry her as his wife. wife.
Three years later, the scholar was the last one on the list. The girl thought she had finally made it, but she heard that the scholar's tutor valued the scholar and wanted to marry her daughter to the scholar.
The scholar went home and talked about this with his parents. They were afraid that the teacher would change his mind if he knew about the girl's existence, and made up his mind to poison the girl to death.
The final outcome of "elopement" is that the girl put drugs in the meal before the scholar started, and then set fire to the scholar's house.
The fire burned for three days and three nights before it was extinguished. The government found three charred corpses in the ruins, two elderly people and a middle-aged man. They were the scholar and his parents, but they did not explain where the girl went.
Seeing that something was wrong, Song Peiyu took Chong Yi and the others to the third floor in time before the guests on the first floor could react.Block the shouting on the first floor and the crying on the second floor.
Ping Zhang was also curious about where the girl had gone, so he couldn't help asking Song Peiyu.
Song Peiyu asked back, "Where do you think the girl went?"
"She lost her original identity, and spent so many years in a scholar's house..." Ping Zhang shook his head, "It's a pity that she is a rich official, and I'm afraid she can only fill in houses for businessmen."
After Ping Zhang finished speaking, he insisted on asking Song Peiyu if he guessed it right, but he only got the answer of 'the card back recovers'.I feel even more anxious, wishing I could go directly to the house of the script writer and ask the girl what happened in the end.
Mu Qing also wanted to know who wrote the script, but he didn't care about the girl's final outcome. He wanted to know what the meanings of "rushing for the exam" and "teacher" in the stage play were, and he was very worried about it.
Regarding this, Song Peiyu could only tell them regretfully.
He accidentally discovered the script of elopement from the book collection in the study room, which was not signed, and he did not know who the original author was.
Hearing the words, Ping Zhang put the story of 'elopement' behind his head, went to the window on the inner side of the private room like a thief, and found that he couldn't see the female relatives on the second floor, so he lost interest and shouted a few more words instead. Individuals go to the corner of the room to play mahjong.
On the contrary, Mu Qing was more concerned about the origin of 'elopement', and asked Song Peiyu if he could find out where the word 'elopement' came from.
Song Peiyu repeatedly begged for mercy, only saying that he really didn't remember, and quickly took Mu Qing and Chong Yi to look at the long table on the other side of the room, where Song Peiyu's ancient version of billiards was placed.
Song Peiyu personally showed Mu Qing and Chong Yi how to play, and Ping Zhang, who had already played mahjong, also came to join in the fun.
There is one white ball, fifteen red balls and six colored balls on the table.
Because it was a demonstration, I didn't pay much attention to the rules.
Song Peiyu hit three red balls in a row, and the fourth shot was a bit weak, so she handed over the club to Pingzhang.
Ping Zhang took a deep breath and walked around the long table several times before deciding which ball to hit.Lie down on the table and take a good posture, raised his hand suddenly, and directly sent the white ball and the black ball hit by the white ball flying.Thanks to Chong Yi's sharp eyesight and quick hands, he caught the black ball flying towards Song Peiyu's face in time.
Ping Zhang touched his head, and apologized to Song Peiyu embarrassingly.
In comparison, Mu Qing was much stronger. Although he didn't get the ball into the hole the first time he played, at least he didn't almost accidentally injure his partner.
Chong Yi took the cue stick, weighed it in his hand, and turned to Song Peiyu, "A red ball, a colored ball, and then play a red ball?"
Song Peiyu remembered Yupei who lost to Chongyi because of mahjong last time, and smiled, "The rules are like this, your Highness wants to compare with Chen?"
"Hmm," Chong Yi responded dispensably, looking around Song Peiyu's waist, "What do you plan to use as a prize?"
Song Peiyu thought for a while, and said, "Eh, I found something new, but I don't have enough Zhuangzi in my hand. If it is, the Huangzhuang under the name of His Highness will be considered as a dividend by the end of the year."
"If you don't want to forgive him, he heard the lawsuit and said, "Then let the mace go to the head, and all the future will belong to His Highness. "
Before Chong Yi said anything, Ping Zhang laughed first, "Is it wrong? Why is it that whoever wins, His Highness's Zhuangzi will be in your hands?"
Mu Qing also laughed, "No wonder Song Shaoyin's business is doing so well, it turns out that he has never done business at a loss."
After hearing Song Peiyu's bet, Chong Yi immediately lost interest, went straight to find a good position, and moved the ball to the ground.
He didn't care about what the Huangzhuang under his name looked like, since Song Peiyu was interested, he could just mess with Song Peiyu.
When Chong Yi scored the first red ball, Song Peiyu applauded very appreciatively, secretly thinking that Chong Yi is quite talented in playing, mahjong is like this, and billiards is not bad, no wonder he is always boring in every possible way on weekdays.
If even half of these talents can be used in government affairs... Sigh
After Chongyi scored sixteen consecutive goals according to the rules of billiards, Song Peiyu's expression gradually became stiff.
He doesn't mind the future of Huangzhuang in the bet, even if there is no billiards, he will find other opportunities to plant the good seeds brought from Lihua Village in Chongyi's Huangzhuang during spring plowing.
For this reason, Song Peiyu also made people run all the way back to Lihua Village, and brought most of the seeds left over from last year to Xianyang.
If it weren't for the fact that the seats in the Emperor's Empress Palace were not sold at a higher price, which would have filled the grain storage, and the experiment with off-season grains was far less successful than off-season vegetables, Song Peiyu would have offered the good seeds before the spring plowing.
But it is safer to accumulate seeds for next year without experimenting on Chongyi's Huangzhuang first.
Seeing that Chong Yi scored four more goals in a row, Song Peiyu swung her fan faster than before, "Your Highness, have you ever played billiards before?"
"No" Chong Yi turned his wrist neatly, and the last red ball went into the hole.He paused for a moment, and said to Song Peiyu, "It's very interesting, I will send a set to the palace later, and then let someone teach Eunuch An and Laifu how to play."
And let them play pool to amuse you?
Song Peiyu put down the cue directly, crossed his arms and watched Chong Yi hit all the balls on the table into the holes, secretly regretting that Chong Yi was born in the wrong era.
If he was born in the era he originally lived in, wouldn't it be soft to get the gold medal?
Waiting for Chong Yi to temporarily lose interest in billiards, he asked someone to come up and perform "Jueying" and "Birthday" for him.Song Peiyu silently left the room, quietly went downstairs to check the situation.
The second floor is full of female relatives, even if he is the boss, it is not easy to set foot there. Song Peiyu just stood at the stairs and called the steward in charge of the second floor to answer.
This steward was originally the shopkeeper of Song's Cloth Village, and he was not stage-frightened even in the face of Su Wangfei and many official family members, and his speech was very clear, and he could explain the situation on the second floor clearly in a few sentences.
After watching "Elopement", the female family members on the second floor were deeply touched, and the handkerchiefs specially prepared by the teahouse were almost sold out.While the wives were sad, they had to use the experience of the girls in the story to educate the girls present, and some people scolded the scholar's family for their death...
From the first program "Elopement" to now when the storyteller started to talk about "Journey to the West", no one left.
Song Peiyu told the steward to take care of her carefully, mainly not to allow any men to appear on the second floor.If someone wants to break in, no matter who it is, just ask someone to throw it out.
"Song Shaoyin!" Yun Chen, who had been waiting anxiously on the first floor for a long time, saw Song Peiyu's eyes light up, and he couldn't wait to come up to him.
"Master Yun, I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect you to come here in person. Please forgive me if the hospitality is not good." Song Peiyu looked at Yun Chen with surprise.
Yun Chen's expression was strangely anxious, he looked behind Song Peiyu, opened his mouth and closed it again, with a forced smile, "Unfortunately, I didn't see the 'elope' ordered by His Highness himself."
Song Peiyu pretended not to notice Yun Chen's strangeness, and said nonchalantly, "I have asked your highness several times, but your highness was not tempted, and then changed his mind on a whim. If your highness decided to come to Mingkeju to cut the ribbon a long time ago, I will give you a special Post an invitation."
"It's not too late now, Fu Guhuang has already met me, can Shaoyin help me?" Yun Chen couldn't hide the anxiety on his face anymore, and pulled out a palm-sized wooden box from his sleeve. He was about to stuff Song Peiyu's hand.
Song Peiyu stretched out his hand to cover Yun Chen's hand, and said coldly, "Lord Yun, don't do this. If someone else sees it and spreads rumors, it will not only flirt with you, but may also affect His Highness."
Yun Chen froze when he heard the words, and saw that although Song Peiyu had a smiling face, the strength in his hand was very firm, so he could only put the wooden box away, with a look of pleading on his face, "I beg Shaoyin to help, as long as I can see you Your Highness, Father Shao Yin's 3000 taels of silver's wish."
Song Peiyu looked at Yun Chen in surprise, unable to understand why Yun Chen was so urgent.
3000 taels of silver is small, but what deserves Yun Chen to give him 3000 taels to see Chong Yi is the big deal.
It was inconvenient to talk on the first floor, so Song Peiyu brought Yun Chen upstairs, but instead of going to Chong Yi's private room, he went to another empty private room. After Yun Chen sat down, he told someone to get the hot water. Refreshments.
"Master Yun, if you have any questions, can you talk to Dongdan Zhao Qianqian first, please ask Your Highness to call you into the palace for a reply, or ask Your Highness to leave the palace." Song Peiyu explained, "There was a happy event in the palace yesterday. With this feeling, I specially invited His Highness to go out of the palace to relax, and asked Mu to accompany Heping Xiaoqi in the matter."
Upon hearing this, Yun Chen immediately realized that the happy event that Song Peiyu mentioned was the entry of the eldest daughter of the Sheng family into the palace yesterday.
After all, it was the noble concubine, and it was the Sheng family who made a good start that allowed Emperor Yonghe to get a far unexpected amount of food.Although Emperor Yonghe ordered everything to be simplified in the palace entry ceremony in the name of waiting for prosperity, he gave Sheng Guifei's natal family a lot of grace.
Not only Concubine Sheng's father got the illusory title of Prince Shaofu of the second rank, but also Concubine Sheng's younger brother Sheng Tairan became Zizhi Shaoyin of the third rank, who happened to be in the same rank as Song Peiyu.
As the son of Concubine Shun, Chongyi would be sad because of this, which is also reasonable.
Yun Chen was silent for a long time, finally made up his mind, and said with a wry smile, "It's okay to talk to Shao Yin."
The reason why an aristocratic family can be called an aristocratic family is not only because there are people who have been officials for generations, but also because they hold something that can guarantee that the family will not be ruined even if there are no good talents in the family, at least two generations can only dawdle.
Yun's ancestral house is in the south, holding two iron mines.Although he is not conspicuous in Xianyang, he has to be attached to the Mu family to have the right to speak in the court, but in the south, he is enough to be domineering.
What made Yun Chen so anxious, even lost his sense of proportion, was Yun's iron mine located in the south.
The two iron mines of Yun's are only two hundred miles apart. They have been mined by Yun's for several generations, and they can still find high-quality ore from the surface.
Three days ago, a large number of black-faced slaves suddenly died suddenly at the two iron mines.
Coincidentally, the Yun family had just received the news, and before they had time to deal with it, the Nanlin County Government had already sealed off the two mines and sent heavy guards to prevent anyone from approaching them.Whether it was a living person or a dead person, the Yun family could not see any of them.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the people in the ancestral house quickly delivered a letter to Yun Chen in Xianyang.
Song Peiyu went over the information that Yun Chen had revealed to him in his mind.
The black-faced slaves in the official mines are all sinners or surrendered soldiers, but the black-faced slaves in the private mines are mostly composed of civilians and slaves who have signed a contract of prostitution.
A large number of black-faced slaves died suddenly, even if they were all domestic slaves of the Nanlin Yun clan, this matter would not be acceptable.
According to the laws of the previous dynasty, the Zhao State had the qualifications to privately deal with the slaves who signed the contract of sale, but there was a quota limit due to different official positions.
For example, Mrs. Song told Song Peiyu not to be soft on the servants. If anyone made him unhappy, she would directly pull him out and kill him with a stick, and it would be her fault.
Mrs. Song is a first-rank imperial lady, who can privately execute twelve slaves who make her unhappy and sign a contract of prostitution every year.
Song Peiyu is Zizhi Shaoyin from the third rank, and he can privately execute six slaves with prostitution contracts every year.
……
Eighth-rank officials and ninth-rank officials can only execute two slaves with prostitution contracts each year.
Common people and wealthy businessmen can only execute one slave with a bond of prostitution every year.
If there are too many, it will violate the law of Zhao State.
Although there are a lot of rumors in the deep house compound, especially in the mansion of a wealthy businessman, the annual quota for one is not enough for most families, but there are very few people who have been sentenced for such crimes.
But Yun's Iron Mine had an accident directly at the mine, and the government seized the handle on the spot.
I'm afraid it won't be good.
The smile on Song Peiyu's face was no longer as enthusiastic as before, "I don't know if the black-faced slaves in your mine are private slaves, or they hired the surrounding civilians."
Yun Chen's face became more and more ugly, he drank the remaining cold tea in the cup, and said with difficulty, "One iron mine has many private slaves, and the other iron mine has many civilians. Because the government came too fast, the family handed it over. The news only said that a lot of black-faced slaves from the mining industry suddenly fell, but they don’t know the exact number and the reason, nor do they know whether there are more civilians or more private slaves.”
"The minerals in the family have been passed down to the fifth generation. For many years, I have been timid and restrained. In addition, the surrounding civilians have been black-faced slaves. Some of the surrounding civilians and even three generations of ancestors have been black-faced in the Yun's mines. Slave." Yun Chen almost swore to the sky to show Song Peiyu, "Kill Vごyou broke into the squid to prevent the black-faced slaves from exhaustion in the mine and died suddenly. Suddenly many people died suddenly. Someone must have killed Yun. .”
Song Peiyu lowered his eyelids to avoid Yun Chen's gaze, and said pointedly, "Lord Yun should go to the Ministry of Punishment. If the sentence is too high, the magistrate of Nanlin County will definitely hand over the paper to the Ministry of Punishment for a decision. If it is the case of Nanlin County The punishment is only a fine of gold and silver, and it is not a big deal to the Yun family. He is the left servant of the Ministry of punishment, "
A ferocious look appeared on Yun Chen's face, his eyes suddenly became fierce for a moment, then he closed his eyes forcefully, and said in a muffled voice, "The third master said that this matter is not easy to handle, so the imperial court might take back an iron mine .”
Picking up the teacup, Song Peiyu sighed softly, "Fortunately, Mr. Mu is still willing to help you. It is also a blessing to keep an iron mine."
"Shao Yin!" Yun Chen opened his eyes and got up from the chair abruptly. Before Song Peiyu could react, he knelt down and said desperately, "Please Shao Yin help talk about this matter to His Highness, dare you tell the two of you at home?" Dedicate one mine to His Highness. No matter which one His Highness chooses, the Nanlin Yun Sect will have no choice but to ask His Highness to help the Nanlin Yun Sect get through this difficult time."
Song Peiyu got up quickly, avoided the position directly in front of Yun Chen, and reached out to help him, "Why are you doing this? Didn't the third master Mu already agree with you? If the third master Mu knew what happened today, he would complain to you , wouldn't it ruin Nanlin Yun's and Mu's relationship for many years?"
"Purhuan City!" Yun Chen's eyes were scarlet, and the veins popped up on his forehead, "The new magistrate of Nanlin County is from the Lin family. Half a month ago, the Mu family just snatched the three mountains and forests of the criminal officials of the Yan Kingdom from Lu's mouth. , all distributed to the Mu family's children. Half a month later, something happened in the mine in the south, and I don't think it has anything to do with it."
"Ever since the Yun family decided to follow Mu Gong, they have been sincere to Mu Gong. Even the most important Nanlin Mine will allocate one-third of the output to Mu Gong every year. But how does Mu Gong treat the Yun family?" Yun Shen wiped away his tears, and there was a faint cry in his words, "Even if the third master Mu reveals that he is willing to share the three mountains and forests that are far inferior to the iron mines to the Yun family, the body will be restored!
Song Peiyu blinked her eyes, seemed to be affected by Yun Chen's emotions, there were faint tears in her eyes, she squatted on the ground and said to Yun Chen who was out of control, "Your Excellency, don't be too sad, maybe Mu Shi also has the same intention. It’s just that I haven’t had time to tell you that it’s unknown.”
Yun Chen covered his face and shook his head heavily, his voice was so hoarse that he could hardly make a sound, "Hey, what are Zixi's concerns, as long as you are willing to talk about it, I will ask Mr. Mu first, and I don't need him to help Lie. Even if the two iron mines failed to keep in the end, the Nanlin Yun family would not count the result on His Highness. Hey, he has been in Wulu for 20 years, and he is also a son of a family. Young Master, if you are not extremely disappointed, you will come to beg His Highness again."
Song Peiyu took out the handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Yun Chen, and persuaded him a few more words until Yun Chen stopped crying, and then said, "The matter of Nanlin can't be resolved in a day or two, even if His Highness finds out, I can't do anything before the Ministry of Justice plays, this matter is still in the position of Mu Sanye, so it's better to talk about it."
"However, since you have a difficult problem that cannot be relieved, ah, Kazumata! He heard that the veil in the other sleeve was also given to Yun Chen, "You are right, His Highness can only ask the Ministry of Criminal Justice to investigate this matter thoroughly." , deal with it impartially.No matter how much it is, it can't be done, and it can't be done. "
"So, if you still resolutely entrust this matter to His Highness, go back home and wait for the news. If you change your mind, stealing benzene has obviously hurt your lord, and you will never talk about it with anyone."
Yun Chen wiped the mixture of sweat, tears and snot on the handkerchief, and stuffed the handkerchief directly into his sleeve. Su Rong kowtowed to the front, and said firmly, "Your Highness, please be the master, regardless of the outcome. No matter what, the Nanlin Yun family has absolutely no regrets."
After a long time, Yun Chen was the only one left in the huge room.
There was a wry smile on his face, and then he sat on the ground expressionless and fell into deep thought. Only the cruelty in his eyes did not retreat for a long time, and he was no longer the look on the verge of collapse in front of Song Peiyu.
Song Peiyu came out of the private room and asked someone to bring hot water and washing things to the private room where Yun Chen was. After tidying up the clothes that Yun Chen had wrinkled, she returned to the private room where Chong Yi was.
In the private room, Chong Yi was half lying on the soft bed listening to the Romance of the Gods, with a plate of puffs in his hand.
Ping Zhang and Mu Qing were still circling around the table tennis, quite fascinated.
Looking at the plate of puffs, Song Peiyu felt that her blood pressure was rising. She walked to Chong Yi's side in three steps, took a clean wooden stick from the porcelain vase, and strung most of the puffs into a string neatly.Only the last two solitary puffs were left, and they really couldn't fit together.
Chong Yi stretched out his hand to tie the remaining two puffs on the plate, but Song Peiyu turned around suddenly while holding the plate, and ate the two puffs on the plate first.
Chong Yi's hand paused, and he threw the wooden stick into the trash can not far away.
After Song Peiyu finished eating the string of puffs, she felt her throat was sweet and salty, her gaze fell on the teapot hesitantly, and she was about to ask someone to serve another pot of tea when she heard Chong Yi's lazy voice, "Is that tea still available?" People have used it."
Song Peiyu didn't doubt that he was there, so she picked up the tea cup and drank it.
"Sigh~"
"Is this sweet tea?"
Chong Yi tilted his head to look at Song Peiyu, his black and white eyes looked extraordinarily innocent, "Yeah"
Song Peiyu took a deep breath, and silently told herself that she couldn't put the teacup on this pretty face.
In the end, Song Peiyu went out again, and asked people to directly replace all the tea and wine with warm water, and made a unilateral decision, forgetting to promise Chong Yi to send a cook who can make cream cakes to the East Palace.
When Song Peiyu sat back beside Chong Yi, Chong Yi glanced at him and then turned his head in surprise, "Sweet crying?"
Song Peiyu blinked, but failed to understand what Chong Yi meant at the first time.
Until the cold fragrance hit his face, Song Peiyu took Chong Yi's handkerchief, and later realized that when he should be helping Yunchen, his hand was stained with mud, and then wiped it on his face.
This made Song Peiyu start to carefully consider what Yun Chen said just now, to the point of ignoring the thoughtful expression on Chong Yi's face.
"Do you have something to say?" Chong Yi asked.
"No," Song Peiyu subconsciously said.
There was no rush for Yun Chen's affairs, and what he said to Yun Chen just now were not all excuses.
Emperor Yonghe accepted his concubine solemnly, and gave Sheng Guifei such great honor.Concubine Sheng's father had the title of Prince Shaofu of the second grade, but Mu Shizhong had nothing.
It really doesn't look good in comparison.
Moreover, Emperor Yonghe had been in harmony with Concubine Shun for many years, and there were only a few old concubines in the backyard, so he could naturally put most of his thoughts on Chong Yi.
Now Emperor Yonghe began to accept concubines.
After Concubine Sheng, there are still eight young and beautiful girls waiting to enter the Palace Expo. Their plot must not be Emperor Yonghe himself who can be their father at any age.
Then there is only a higher honor, even the highest honor.
From then on, Emperor Yonghe's mind, besides focusing on government affairs, must also allocate more energy to the harem, and the energy spent on his son who is about to grow up will inevitably decrease.
After all, Emperor Yonghe is just an ordinary person with limited time.
In Song Peiyu's view, Chongyi is about to change from a single-parent child to a poor little one who no one cares about.
At least Song Peiyu didn't want to force Chong Yi too much before all the four concubines entered the palace.
In addition, Song Peiyu also had a faint expectation in her heart.Maybe Chongyi will make changes in order to win his father's attention after he finds out that Emperor Yonghe doesn't dote on him as much as before.
Song Peiyu didn't say anything, Chong Yi didn't bother to ask again.
Under Song Peiyu's arrangement, Chong Yi spent a less boring day at Mingkeju.
Missing the time when the palace gate was locked, Chong Yi stayed at Tianhuju.
Enter the mansion directly from the side door leading to the outside of the mansion from Tianhuju, and live in the east wing room where no one has ever slept.Until the next day when he entered the palace with Song Peiyu and went directly to the school, no one went to Tianhuju to disturb Chong Yi, which made Chong Yi very satisfied.
About Yun Chen, Song Peiyu thought about it several times, but still felt that there was no rush at all.
Even the Yun family, whose foundation is in Nanlin, can't do anything about it, let alone the others.
If Dong Gong was willing to help Yun Chen, he could only wait for the case to be sent to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for handling.
However, Yun Chen seemed really hurt by Mrs. Mu.
Three days later, at the Great Court Meeting, Yun Yushi of Yushitai joined Mu Yushi to form a party for private interests, and framed Zhongliang by creating something out of nothing.The eight crimes of slandering Donggong's companion to read Song Shaoyin are intended to eliminate dissidents, and there is no virtue of uprightness and integrity in the imperial censor.
Unexpectedly, after such a long time, there would be a follow-up, Song Peiyu stood up honestly, and quietly listened to the verbal battle between Yun Yushi and Mu Yushi.
Obviously, the prepared Yun Yushi had the upper hand, and he was about to stun the unprepared Mu Yushi.
Yun Yushi called out the names of the three Yushi other than Mu Yushi in one breath, and Zuo Zhongcheng of Yushitai, and said sadly, "These people have conspired many times in order to frame Song Shaoyin, and they have made an appointment To jointly impeach Song Shaoyin at the Great Court Meeting today, Song Shaoyin must be allowed to leave the East Palace. There is evidence from the minister that these people have frequently gathered together in private since half a month ago, and Mu Yushi also sent several other people of insignificant value. Faye's gift."
The people who were named by Yun Yushi were full of bad luck, but they had to stand up.
Emperor Yonghe's voice could not distinguish between joy and anger, he said in a deep voice, "Look at the recent excerpts on the imperial censor's platform, and bring them all."
Eunuch Meng withdrew from the main hall silently, and went to get the notes as Emperor Yonghe ordered.
Mu Yushi couldn't help but argue for himself, pulled his sparse beard and said, "As a censor, your duty is to supervise the officials and clean up the government. Even if you and several colleagues impeach Song Shaoyin at the same time, it is also the salary of the emperor. To share your worries, I just happened to see one place. This is the job of the ministers."
"On the contrary, Song Shaoyin, who was in the East Palace, actually stretched out his hand to Yushitai. In order to cover up his criminal evidence, he bribed Yun Yushi, and beat him up first. His ambition to cover the sky with one hand is really appalling." Mu Yushi went directly to The frontmost position went to find Song Peiyu who stood honestly, and pointed her trembling fingers straight at Song Peiyu's face, wishing to eat her flesh raw.
Song Peiyu took two steps back and hid behind Chong Yi.
Mu Yushi was even more excited when he saw this, and his voice was harsher than the eunuch's, "Song Shaoyin is guilty, what are you hiding? But the old man was right, and I feel ashamed of your majesty's trust and the court clothes on you?"
Chong Yi, who seemed to be sleeping with his eyes open, suddenly raised his wrist and raised the table above his head.
Can't wait to pull Song Peiyu to the center to accept the condemnation from the court, to prove that he is right, Mu Yushi completely ignores Chong Yi who is between him and Song Peiyu.So that he was caught off guard and bumped into the corner of the table that was raised suddenly, and fell unsteadily on Mu Shizhong's body.
Poor Mu Shizhong was defenseless, rolled into a mess with Mu Yushi, and became Mu Yushi's meat pad.
Song Peiyu coughed lightly, barely holding back the smile in his throat, and bowed to Mu Shizhong and Mu Yushi who were lying on the ground, "I'm not guilty, but I can't face the boss with his mouth open, halazi An overwhelming fear."
It seemed to confirm Song Peiyu's words.
With a bang, the table that Chong Yi held above his head with one hand fell to the ground.
Chong Yi stood up from his seat for the first time since going to court, and his face was extremely ugly.
"puff"
King Su stared wide-eyed, and looked around aggressively, "You look at what this king is doing? Why don't you hurry up and help the two elders?"
All the officials dared not speak out, and they couldn't be like King Su, who smiled and refused to admit it. They could only hold back, their faces flushed.
When Eunuch Meng came back from the apse, he ignored the chaos in the court hall and put a stack of papers in his hand on the imperial case of Emperor Yonghe. In the three-day memorial, I found a memorial signed by several adults."
Emperor Yonghe reached out and tapped on the script, and said loudly, "Who is young and full of energy. Come and read the script for everyone to see if they can communicate with each other before submitting the script."
Those who met Emperor Yonghe's eyes all lowered their heads, no one wanted to step into this muddy water.
Emperor Yonghe snorted coldly, and said in an impatient tone, "Then whoever puts in the booklet will read it, starting from the top one." Emperor Yonghe opened the booklet, looked at it, and threw the booklet down from the top, "Yu Shitai Zuo Zhongcheng, come on, read it out loud for me!"
Standing up from Yun Yushi, Zuo Zhongcheng of Yushitai, whose face was not good-looking, became even more ugly when he heard the words, but he dared not disobey Emperor Yonghe's order.
He was the first to recite his own scriptures, so he was lucky enough to hope that the rest of them would be able to use their brains when they read the scriptures. Therefore, although it was inevitable that he was short of energy and his voice was not loud enough, at least he could read all the scriptures from the end to the end. over.
The second book that was dropped from the imperial case came from an exceptionally young imperial censor.
He doesn't have the good concentration of Zuo Zhongcheng.
Since Zuo Zhongcheng began to read the scriptures, the dense sweat on his forehead has not disappeared. After hearing Emperor Yonghe call his name, the young Yushi looked around blankly, and when he took a step, his feet went limp and he fell to the ground.
The young censor cried out of fright, knelt on the ground with all four limbs, begging for mercy frantically, "Your Majesty, forgive me, Your Majesty forgive me!"
Emperor Yonghe was so angry with such idiots that his head hurt, he said in a deep voice, "What is your crime?"
The young Yushi was stunned, and subconsciously looked at Mu Yushi and Zuo Zhongcheng.
Song Peiyu took a step forward, just blocking the gaze of the young censor, and smiled kindly, "Bring me the booklet?"
After finishing speaking, Song Peiyu did not wait for the reaction of the young censor, bent down and took the folds scattered on the ground in his hands.
Facing Song Peiyu who was slowly approaching, the young censor seemed to have seen a scourge, crawled back with his head held high, hands and feet, and said indiscriminately, "I plead guilty! The content of this note is the same as that of Mr. Zuo Zhongcheng. It's exactly the same, it's Mu Yushi's confession
"You also slandered that Lubeng Liaoshi hit his head just now, and he just recovered. Hearing what the young censor said, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to pounce on the young censor.
Song Peiyu was taken aback and backed away again and again to avoid accidental injury, but suddenly felt a strong force coming from her waist, and she threw herself forward uncontrollably.
Mu Yushi and Song Peiyu fell to the ground at the same time, but not together.
Before Mu Yushi could reach Song Peiyu, he fell down by himself, lying on the ground and rolling his eyes, his right arm was also bent into a distorted appearance.
In contrast, Song Peiyu fell much lighter, and Murong Jing reached out and grabbed Song Peiyu in time.Although Song Peiyu only pulled off half of Song Peiyu's sleeve because he was too far away to use his strength, it eased the momentum of Song Peiyu's fall to the ground. Except for the sore frame, there was no serious problem.
Song Peiyu looked in the direction he was avoiding before, and found that they were all people who had no impression, so he could only hold back his anger for a while, and pleaded guilty to Emperor Yonghe, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for your dishonesty."
Yu Shitai Zuo Zhongcheng took the lead and questioned Song Peiyu, "What did Song Shaoyin want to do just now? Even if Mu Yushi impeached you, he was only doing his job, and you are so angry that you can't silence on the spot?"
Sneering came from the crowd, Yun Chen pointed at Yushitai Zuo Zhongcheng with a sneer on his face, "Since those tricks of yours are useless, don't worry about it. The place where Mu Yushi fell is so far away from Song Shaoyin, you can still rely on it." To Song Shaoyin?"
Yushitai Zuo Zhongcheng saw Yun Chen's face that was very similar to Yun Yushi's, and then he remembered where the source of all this chaos came from, and suddenly he was angry, and even the young Yushi's unscrupulous words in his heart The fear arose, he lost his mind in an instant, and said with scarlet eyes, "Old dog Yun, you will not end well if you eat inside and outside like this, Mr. Mu..."
Mu Shizhong suddenly kicked over the table in front of him, interrupted Yushitai Zuo Zhongcheng's words in time, and stood there with a livid face, "What do you think the court hall is, and you are acting like a housewife?"
Song Jinyu coughed lightly, and said slowly, "Why is Shizhong Mu so furious? His Majesty hasn't said anything yet. I think His Majesty has never seen the faces of his courtiers before. He was curious and wanted to see more, but you Disturbed interest."
"You don't need to look at such rude and disrespectful behavior." Mu Shizhong said coldly.
Song Jinyu shook his head and stopped arguing with Mu Shizhong.
There was a young censor who didn't tell himself, and there were several excerpts with almost exactly the same content in the back.
The crime of forming a party for personal gain was firmly held on the Yushitai, and most of the Yushitai could hardly absolve themselves of the blame.On the contrary, Song Peiyu, who was supposed to be a target today, was ignored, and she knelt on the ground wearing most of her court clothes and fell into autism.
Fortunately, Song Peiyu was very popular in the palace. When he saw that his court clothes were damaged, a little eunuch went to fetch the cloak, but he didn't dare to come easily because of the solemn atmosphere of the court, so he could only wait at the door with his head bowed.
Chong Yi also saw the little eunuch holding the clothes, and waved towards him.
Only then did the little eunuch dare to come over, and put the cloak on Song Peiyu's body to block his sleeves that were pulled off.
Song Peiyu thanked him in a low voice. Seeing that Emperor Yonghe and the bosses in front hadn't noticed him, he got up and wrapped his cloak, and then found... it was mopping the floor again, not his cloak.
Song Peiyu subconsciously looked at the owner of the cloak, only to find that Chongyi's boots embroidered with dragon patterns had been scratched for some reason, and the whole dragon's tail was in a mess and mixed with dust, which was incompatible with Chongyi.
In the end, Yushitai Zuo Zhongcheng, and all the censors with the same papers were all beaten to the end.
Although Yun Yushi was successful in reporting, he was originally in a small group that formed a clique for personal gain.
Nian Zaiyun Yushi turned back in time and did not give him the same punishment as the others, so his merits and demerits were equal.
Song Peiyu was also verbally warned and fined half a year's salary.
It's just that Song Peiyu was fined just this morning
Fortunately, the second half of 'Elopement' started in time, and Ping Zhang took advantage of the opportunity to focus all his attention on the high platform, pretending not to feel Chong Yi's ridicule.
The second half of 'Elopement' begins with the elopement of the scholar and the girl.
If we say that the first half is the beginning of love between teenagers and girls, romantic encounters have blossomed into beautiful flowers.
The second half is the murder scene where the mundane mixed with oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, pouring love flowers to death.
First, the girl's family directly announced her sudden death to the outside world in order to prevent the marriage of the girl's sisters of the same clan from being affected by her.
Then the girl and the scholar spent all the private house brought out by the girl outside, and both of them had nothing to do with childbirth and could only go home.They dare not go back to the girl's house, so they can only go back to the scholar's house.
The scholar's family refused to recognize the girl as their daughter-in-law. Instead, they blamed the girl for leading their son badly, and regarded the girl as the culprit for their son's failure to go to high school.
The girl wanted to go back to her natal family to find someone to support her, only to find that she had 'died suddenly'.
In the end, the girl had no choice but to commit herself to being a concubine for the scholar. Her natal mother and elder brother were willing to subsidize the girl in private, but they refused to meet her again.
The girl gave all the money to the scholar to continue studying, and she worked as a cow and a horse for the scholar's family, doing all the hard work that she had never done in her natal family, just because the scholar promised that he would tell his parents when he was in high school and marry her as his wife. wife.
Three years later, the scholar was the last one on the list. The girl thought she had finally made it, but she heard that the scholar's tutor valued the scholar and wanted to marry her daughter to the scholar.
The scholar went home and talked about this with his parents. They were afraid that the teacher would change his mind if he knew about the girl's existence, and made up his mind to poison the girl to death.
The final outcome of "elopement" is that the girl put drugs in the meal before the scholar started, and then set fire to the scholar's house.
The fire burned for three days and three nights before it was extinguished. The government found three charred corpses in the ruins, two elderly people and a middle-aged man. They were the scholar and his parents, but they did not explain where the girl went.
Seeing that something was wrong, Song Peiyu took Chong Yi and the others to the third floor in time before the guests on the first floor could react.Block the shouting on the first floor and the crying on the second floor.
Ping Zhang was also curious about where the girl had gone, so he couldn't help asking Song Peiyu.
Song Peiyu asked back, "Where do you think the girl went?"
"She lost her original identity, and spent so many years in a scholar's house..." Ping Zhang shook his head, "It's a pity that she is a rich official, and I'm afraid she can only fill in houses for businessmen."
After Ping Zhang finished speaking, he insisted on asking Song Peiyu if he guessed it right, but he only got the answer of 'the card back recovers'.I feel even more anxious, wishing I could go directly to the house of the script writer and ask the girl what happened in the end.
Mu Qing also wanted to know who wrote the script, but he didn't care about the girl's final outcome. He wanted to know what the meanings of "rushing for the exam" and "teacher" in the stage play were, and he was very worried about it.
Regarding this, Song Peiyu could only tell them regretfully.
He accidentally discovered the script of elopement from the book collection in the study room, which was not signed, and he did not know who the original author was.
Hearing the words, Ping Zhang put the story of 'elopement' behind his head, went to the window on the inner side of the private room like a thief, and found that he couldn't see the female relatives on the second floor, so he lost interest and shouted a few more words instead. Individuals go to the corner of the room to play mahjong.
On the contrary, Mu Qing was more concerned about the origin of 'elopement', and asked Song Peiyu if he could find out where the word 'elopement' came from.
Song Peiyu repeatedly begged for mercy, only saying that he really didn't remember, and quickly took Mu Qing and Chong Yi to look at the long table on the other side of the room, where Song Peiyu's ancient version of billiards was placed.
Song Peiyu personally showed Mu Qing and Chong Yi how to play, and Ping Zhang, who had already played mahjong, also came to join in the fun.
There is one white ball, fifteen red balls and six colored balls on the table.
Because it was a demonstration, I didn't pay much attention to the rules.
Song Peiyu hit three red balls in a row, and the fourth shot was a bit weak, so she handed over the club to Pingzhang.
Ping Zhang took a deep breath and walked around the long table several times before deciding which ball to hit.Lie down on the table and take a good posture, raised his hand suddenly, and directly sent the white ball and the black ball hit by the white ball flying.Thanks to Chong Yi's sharp eyesight and quick hands, he caught the black ball flying towards Song Peiyu's face in time.
Ping Zhang touched his head, and apologized to Song Peiyu embarrassingly.
In comparison, Mu Qing was much stronger. Although he didn't get the ball into the hole the first time he played, at least he didn't almost accidentally injure his partner.
Chong Yi took the cue stick, weighed it in his hand, and turned to Song Peiyu, "A red ball, a colored ball, and then play a red ball?"
Song Peiyu remembered Yupei who lost to Chongyi because of mahjong last time, and smiled, "The rules are like this, your Highness wants to compare with Chen?"
"Hmm," Chong Yi responded dispensably, looking around Song Peiyu's waist, "What do you plan to use as a prize?"
Song Peiyu thought for a while, and said, "Eh, I found something new, but I don't have enough Zhuangzi in my hand. If it is, the Huangzhuang under the name of His Highness will be considered as a dividend by the end of the year."
"If you don't want to forgive him, he heard the lawsuit and said, "Then let the mace go to the head, and all the future will belong to His Highness. "
Before Chong Yi said anything, Ping Zhang laughed first, "Is it wrong? Why is it that whoever wins, His Highness's Zhuangzi will be in your hands?"
Mu Qing also laughed, "No wonder Song Shaoyin's business is doing so well, it turns out that he has never done business at a loss."
After hearing Song Peiyu's bet, Chong Yi immediately lost interest, went straight to find a good position, and moved the ball to the ground.
He didn't care about what the Huangzhuang under his name looked like, since Song Peiyu was interested, he could just mess with Song Peiyu.
When Chong Yi scored the first red ball, Song Peiyu applauded very appreciatively, secretly thinking that Chong Yi is quite talented in playing, mahjong is like this, and billiards is not bad, no wonder he is always boring in every possible way on weekdays.
If even half of these talents can be used in government affairs... Sigh
After Chongyi scored sixteen consecutive goals according to the rules of billiards, Song Peiyu's expression gradually became stiff.
He doesn't mind the future of Huangzhuang in the bet, even if there is no billiards, he will find other opportunities to plant the good seeds brought from Lihua Village in Chongyi's Huangzhuang during spring plowing.
For this reason, Song Peiyu also made people run all the way back to Lihua Village, and brought most of the seeds left over from last year to Xianyang.
If it weren't for the fact that the seats in the Emperor's Empress Palace were not sold at a higher price, which would have filled the grain storage, and the experiment with off-season grains was far less successful than off-season vegetables, Song Peiyu would have offered the good seeds before the spring plowing.
But it is safer to accumulate seeds for next year without experimenting on Chongyi's Huangzhuang first.
Seeing that Chong Yi scored four more goals in a row, Song Peiyu swung her fan faster than before, "Your Highness, have you ever played billiards before?"
"No" Chong Yi turned his wrist neatly, and the last red ball went into the hole.He paused for a moment, and said to Song Peiyu, "It's very interesting, I will send a set to the palace later, and then let someone teach Eunuch An and Laifu how to play."
And let them play pool to amuse you?
Song Peiyu put down the cue directly, crossed his arms and watched Chong Yi hit all the balls on the table into the holes, secretly regretting that Chong Yi was born in the wrong era.
If he was born in the era he originally lived in, wouldn't it be soft to get the gold medal?
Waiting for Chong Yi to temporarily lose interest in billiards, he asked someone to come up and perform "Jueying" and "Birthday" for him.Song Peiyu silently left the room, quietly went downstairs to check the situation.
The second floor is full of female relatives, even if he is the boss, it is not easy to set foot there. Song Peiyu just stood at the stairs and called the steward in charge of the second floor to answer.
This steward was originally the shopkeeper of Song's Cloth Village, and he was not stage-frightened even in the face of Su Wangfei and many official family members, and his speech was very clear, and he could explain the situation on the second floor clearly in a few sentences.
After watching "Elopement", the female family members on the second floor were deeply touched, and the handkerchiefs specially prepared by the teahouse were almost sold out.While the wives were sad, they had to use the experience of the girls in the story to educate the girls present, and some people scolded the scholar's family for their death...
From the first program "Elopement" to now when the storyteller started to talk about "Journey to the West", no one left.
Song Peiyu told the steward to take care of her carefully, mainly not to allow any men to appear on the second floor.If someone wants to break in, no matter who it is, just ask someone to throw it out.
"Song Shaoyin!" Yun Chen, who had been waiting anxiously on the first floor for a long time, saw Song Peiyu's eyes light up, and he couldn't wait to come up to him.
"Master Yun, I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect you to come here in person. Please forgive me if the hospitality is not good." Song Peiyu looked at Yun Chen with surprise.
Yun Chen's expression was strangely anxious, he looked behind Song Peiyu, opened his mouth and closed it again, with a forced smile, "Unfortunately, I didn't see the 'elope' ordered by His Highness himself."
Song Peiyu pretended not to notice Yun Chen's strangeness, and said nonchalantly, "I have asked your highness several times, but your highness was not tempted, and then changed his mind on a whim. If your highness decided to come to Mingkeju to cut the ribbon a long time ago, I will give you a special Post an invitation."
"It's not too late now, Fu Guhuang has already met me, can Shaoyin help me?" Yun Chen couldn't hide the anxiety on his face anymore, and pulled out a palm-sized wooden box from his sleeve. He was about to stuff Song Peiyu's hand.
Song Peiyu stretched out his hand to cover Yun Chen's hand, and said coldly, "Lord Yun, don't do this. If someone else sees it and spreads rumors, it will not only flirt with you, but may also affect His Highness."
Yun Chen froze when he heard the words, and saw that although Song Peiyu had a smiling face, the strength in his hand was very firm, so he could only put the wooden box away, with a look of pleading on his face, "I beg Shaoyin to help, as long as I can see you Your Highness, Father Shao Yin's 3000 taels of silver's wish."
Song Peiyu looked at Yun Chen in surprise, unable to understand why Yun Chen was so urgent.
3000 taels of silver is small, but what deserves Yun Chen to give him 3000 taels to see Chong Yi is the big deal.
It was inconvenient to talk on the first floor, so Song Peiyu brought Yun Chen upstairs, but instead of going to Chong Yi's private room, he went to another empty private room. After Yun Chen sat down, he told someone to get the hot water. Refreshments.
"Master Yun, if you have any questions, can you talk to Dongdan Zhao Qianqian first, please ask Your Highness to call you into the palace for a reply, or ask Your Highness to leave the palace." Song Peiyu explained, "There was a happy event in the palace yesterday. With this feeling, I specially invited His Highness to go out of the palace to relax, and asked Mu to accompany Heping Xiaoqi in the matter."
Upon hearing this, Yun Chen immediately realized that the happy event that Song Peiyu mentioned was the entry of the eldest daughter of the Sheng family into the palace yesterday.
After all, it was the noble concubine, and it was the Sheng family who made a good start that allowed Emperor Yonghe to get a far unexpected amount of food.Although Emperor Yonghe ordered everything to be simplified in the palace entry ceremony in the name of waiting for prosperity, he gave Sheng Guifei's natal family a lot of grace.
Not only Concubine Sheng's father got the illusory title of Prince Shaofu of the second rank, but also Concubine Sheng's younger brother Sheng Tairan became Zizhi Shaoyin of the third rank, who happened to be in the same rank as Song Peiyu.
As the son of Concubine Shun, Chongyi would be sad because of this, which is also reasonable.
Yun Chen was silent for a long time, finally made up his mind, and said with a wry smile, "It's okay to talk to Shao Yin."
The reason why an aristocratic family can be called an aristocratic family is not only because there are people who have been officials for generations, but also because they hold something that can guarantee that the family will not be ruined even if there are no good talents in the family, at least two generations can only dawdle.
Yun's ancestral house is in the south, holding two iron mines.Although he is not conspicuous in Xianyang, he has to be attached to the Mu family to have the right to speak in the court, but in the south, he is enough to be domineering.
What made Yun Chen so anxious, even lost his sense of proportion, was Yun's iron mine located in the south.
The two iron mines of Yun's are only two hundred miles apart. They have been mined by Yun's for several generations, and they can still find high-quality ore from the surface.
Three days ago, a large number of black-faced slaves suddenly died suddenly at the two iron mines.
Coincidentally, the Yun family had just received the news, and before they had time to deal with it, the Nanlin County Government had already sealed off the two mines and sent heavy guards to prevent anyone from approaching them.Whether it was a living person or a dead person, the Yun family could not see any of them.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the people in the ancestral house quickly delivered a letter to Yun Chen in Xianyang.
Song Peiyu went over the information that Yun Chen had revealed to him in his mind.
The black-faced slaves in the official mines are all sinners or surrendered soldiers, but the black-faced slaves in the private mines are mostly composed of civilians and slaves who have signed a contract of prostitution.
A large number of black-faced slaves died suddenly, even if they were all domestic slaves of the Nanlin Yun clan, this matter would not be acceptable.
According to the laws of the previous dynasty, the Zhao State had the qualifications to privately deal with the slaves who signed the contract of sale, but there was a quota limit due to different official positions.
For example, Mrs. Song told Song Peiyu not to be soft on the servants. If anyone made him unhappy, she would directly pull him out and kill him with a stick, and it would be her fault.
Mrs. Song is a first-rank imperial lady, who can privately execute twelve slaves who make her unhappy and sign a contract of prostitution every year.
Song Peiyu is Zizhi Shaoyin from the third rank, and he can privately execute six slaves with prostitution contracts every year.
……
Eighth-rank officials and ninth-rank officials can only execute two slaves with prostitution contracts each year.
Common people and wealthy businessmen can only execute one slave with a bond of prostitution every year.
If there are too many, it will violate the law of Zhao State.
Although there are a lot of rumors in the deep house compound, especially in the mansion of a wealthy businessman, the annual quota for one is not enough for most families, but there are very few people who have been sentenced for such crimes.
But Yun's Iron Mine had an accident directly at the mine, and the government seized the handle on the spot.
I'm afraid it won't be good.
The smile on Song Peiyu's face was no longer as enthusiastic as before, "I don't know if the black-faced slaves in your mine are private slaves, or they hired the surrounding civilians."
Yun Chen's face became more and more ugly, he drank the remaining cold tea in the cup, and said with difficulty, "One iron mine has many private slaves, and the other iron mine has many civilians. Because the government came too fast, the family handed it over. The news only said that a lot of black-faced slaves from the mining industry suddenly fell, but they don’t know the exact number and the reason, nor do they know whether there are more civilians or more private slaves.”
"The minerals in the family have been passed down to the fifth generation. For many years, I have been timid and restrained. In addition, the surrounding civilians have been black-faced slaves. Some of the surrounding civilians and even three generations of ancestors have been black-faced in the Yun's mines. Slave." Yun Chen almost swore to the sky to show Song Peiyu, "Kill Vごyou broke into the squid to prevent the black-faced slaves from exhaustion in the mine and died suddenly. Suddenly many people died suddenly. Someone must have killed Yun. .”
Song Peiyu lowered his eyelids to avoid Yun Chen's gaze, and said pointedly, "Lord Yun should go to the Ministry of Punishment. If the sentence is too high, the magistrate of Nanlin County will definitely hand over the paper to the Ministry of Punishment for a decision. If it is the case of Nanlin County The punishment is only a fine of gold and silver, and it is not a big deal to the Yun family. He is the left servant of the Ministry of punishment, "
A ferocious look appeared on Yun Chen's face, his eyes suddenly became fierce for a moment, then he closed his eyes forcefully, and said in a muffled voice, "The third master said that this matter is not easy to handle, so the imperial court might take back an iron mine .”
Picking up the teacup, Song Peiyu sighed softly, "Fortunately, Mr. Mu is still willing to help you. It is also a blessing to keep an iron mine."
"Shao Yin!" Yun Chen opened his eyes and got up from the chair abruptly. Before Song Peiyu could react, he knelt down and said desperately, "Please Shao Yin help talk about this matter to His Highness, dare you tell the two of you at home?" Dedicate one mine to His Highness. No matter which one His Highness chooses, the Nanlin Yun Sect will have no choice but to ask His Highness to help the Nanlin Yun Sect get through this difficult time."
Song Peiyu got up quickly, avoided the position directly in front of Yun Chen, and reached out to help him, "Why are you doing this? Didn't the third master Mu already agree with you? If the third master Mu knew what happened today, he would complain to you , wouldn't it ruin Nanlin Yun's and Mu's relationship for many years?"
"Purhuan City!" Yun Chen's eyes were scarlet, and the veins popped up on his forehead, "The new magistrate of Nanlin County is from the Lin family. Half a month ago, the Mu family just snatched the three mountains and forests of the criminal officials of the Yan Kingdom from Lu's mouth. , all distributed to the Mu family's children. Half a month later, something happened in the mine in the south, and I don't think it has anything to do with it."
"Ever since the Yun family decided to follow Mu Gong, they have been sincere to Mu Gong. Even the most important Nanlin Mine will allocate one-third of the output to Mu Gong every year. But how does Mu Gong treat the Yun family?" Yun Shen wiped away his tears, and there was a faint cry in his words, "Even if the third master Mu reveals that he is willing to share the three mountains and forests that are far inferior to the iron mines to the Yun family, the body will be restored!
Song Peiyu blinked her eyes, seemed to be affected by Yun Chen's emotions, there were faint tears in her eyes, she squatted on the ground and said to Yun Chen who was out of control, "Your Excellency, don't be too sad, maybe Mu Shi also has the same intention. It’s just that I haven’t had time to tell you that it’s unknown.”
Yun Chen covered his face and shook his head heavily, his voice was so hoarse that he could hardly make a sound, "Hey, what are Zixi's concerns, as long as you are willing to talk about it, I will ask Mr. Mu first, and I don't need him to help Lie. Even if the two iron mines failed to keep in the end, the Nanlin Yun family would not count the result on His Highness. Hey, he has been in Wulu for 20 years, and he is also a son of a family. Young Master, if you are not extremely disappointed, you will come to beg His Highness again."
Song Peiyu took out the handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Yun Chen, and persuaded him a few more words until Yun Chen stopped crying, and then said, "The matter of Nanlin can't be resolved in a day or two, even if His Highness finds out, I can't do anything before the Ministry of Justice plays, this matter is still in the position of Mu Sanye, so it's better to talk about it."
"However, since you have a difficult problem that cannot be relieved, ah, Kazumata! He heard that the veil in the other sleeve was also given to Yun Chen, "You are right, His Highness can only ask the Ministry of Criminal Justice to investigate this matter thoroughly." , deal with it impartially.No matter how much it is, it can't be done, and it can't be done. "
"So, if you still resolutely entrust this matter to His Highness, go back home and wait for the news. If you change your mind, stealing benzene has obviously hurt your lord, and you will never talk about it with anyone."
Yun Chen wiped the mixture of sweat, tears and snot on the handkerchief, and stuffed the handkerchief directly into his sleeve. Su Rong kowtowed to the front, and said firmly, "Your Highness, please be the master, regardless of the outcome. No matter what, the Nanlin Yun family has absolutely no regrets."
After a long time, Yun Chen was the only one left in the huge room.
There was a wry smile on his face, and then he sat on the ground expressionless and fell into deep thought. Only the cruelty in his eyes did not retreat for a long time, and he was no longer the look on the verge of collapse in front of Song Peiyu.
Song Peiyu came out of the private room and asked someone to bring hot water and washing things to the private room where Yun Chen was. After tidying up the clothes that Yun Chen had wrinkled, she returned to the private room where Chong Yi was.
In the private room, Chong Yi was half lying on the soft bed listening to the Romance of the Gods, with a plate of puffs in his hand.
Ping Zhang and Mu Qing were still circling around the table tennis, quite fascinated.
Looking at the plate of puffs, Song Peiyu felt that her blood pressure was rising. She walked to Chong Yi's side in three steps, took a clean wooden stick from the porcelain vase, and strung most of the puffs into a string neatly.Only the last two solitary puffs were left, and they really couldn't fit together.
Chong Yi stretched out his hand to tie the remaining two puffs on the plate, but Song Peiyu turned around suddenly while holding the plate, and ate the two puffs on the plate first.
Chong Yi's hand paused, and he threw the wooden stick into the trash can not far away.
After Song Peiyu finished eating the string of puffs, she felt her throat was sweet and salty, her gaze fell on the teapot hesitantly, and she was about to ask someone to serve another pot of tea when she heard Chong Yi's lazy voice, "Is that tea still available?" People have used it."
Song Peiyu didn't doubt that he was there, so she picked up the tea cup and drank it.
"Sigh~"
"Is this sweet tea?"
Chong Yi tilted his head to look at Song Peiyu, his black and white eyes looked extraordinarily innocent, "Yeah"
Song Peiyu took a deep breath, and silently told herself that she couldn't put the teacup on this pretty face.
In the end, Song Peiyu went out again, and asked people to directly replace all the tea and wine with warm water, and made a unilateral decision, forgetting to promise Chong Yi to send a cook who can make cream cakes to the East Palace.
When Song Peiyu sat back beside Chong Yi, Chong Yi glanced at him and then turned his head in surprise, "Sweet crying?"
Song Peiyu blinked, but failed to understand what Chong Yi meant at the first time.
Until the cold fragrance hit his face, Song Peiyu took Chong Yi's handkerchief, and later realized that when he should be helping Yunchen, his hand was stained with mud, and then wiped it on his face.
This made Song Peiyu start to carefully consider what Yun Chen said just now, to the point of ignoring the thoughtful expression on Chong Yi's face.
"Do you have something to say?" Chong Yi asked.
"No," Song Peiyu subconsciously said.
There was no rush for Yun Chen's affairs, and what he said to Yun Chen just now were not all excuses.
Emperor Yonghe accepted his concubine solemnly, and gave Sheng Guifei such great honor.Concubine Sheng's father had the title of Prince Shaofu of the second grade, but Mu Shizhong had nothing.
It really doesn't look good in comparison.
Moreover, Emperor Yonghe had been in harmony with Concubine Shun for many years, and there were only a few old concubines in the backyard, so he could naturally put most of his thoughts on Chong Yi.
Now Emperor Yonghe began to accept concubines.
After Concubine Sheng, there are still eight young and beautiful girls waiting to enter the Palace Expo. Their plot must not be Emperor Yonghe himself who can be their father at any age.
Then there is only a higher honor, even the highest honor.
From then on, Emperor Yonghe's mind, besides focusing on government affairs, must also allocate more energy to the harem, and the energy spent on his son who is about to grow up will inevitably decrease.
After all, Emperor Yonghe is just an ordinary person with limited time.
In Song Peiyu's view, Chongyi is about to change from a single-parent child to a poor little one who no one cares about.
At least Song Peiyu didn't want to force Chong Yi too much before all the four concubines entered the palace.
In addition, Song Peiyu also had a faint expectation in her heart.Maybe Chongyi will make changes in order to win his father's attention after he finds out that Emperor Yonghe doesn't dote on him as much as before.
Song Peiyu didn't say anything, Chong Yi didn't bother to ask again.
Under Song Peiyu's arrangement, Chong Yi spent a less boring day at Mingkeju.
Missing the time when the palace gate was locked, Chong Yi stayed at Tianhuju.
Enter the mansion directly from the side door leading to the outside of the mansion from Tianhuju, and live in the east wing room where no one has ever slept.Until the next day when he entered the palace with Song Peiyu and went directly to the school, no one went to Tianhuju to disturb Chong Yi, which made Chong Yi very satisfied.
About Yun Chen, Song Peiyu thought about it several times, but still felt that there was no rush at all.
Even the Yun family, whose foundation is in Nanlin, can't do anything about it, let alone the others.
If Dong Gong was willing to help Yun Chen, he could only wait for the case to be sent to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for handling.
However, Yun Chen seemed really hurt by Mrs. Mu.
Three days later, at the Great Court Meeting, Yun Yushi of Yushitai joined Mu Yushi to form a party for private interests, and framed Zhongliang by creating something out of nothing.The eight crimes of slandering Donggong's companion to read Song Shaoyin are intended to eliminate dissidents, and there is no virtue of uprightness and integrity in the imperial censor.
Unexpectedly, after such a long time, there would be a follow-up, Song Peiyu stood up honestly, and quietly listened to the verbal battle between Yun Yushi and Mu Yushi.
Obviously, the prepared Yun Yushi had the upper hand, and he was about to stun the unprepared Mu Yushi.
Yun Yushi called out the names of the three Yushi other than Mu Yushi in one breath, and Zuo Zhongcheng of Yushitai, and said sadly, "These people have conspired many times in order to frame Song Shaoyin, and they have made an appointment To jointly impeach Song Shaoyin at the Great Court Meeting today, Song Shaoyin must be allowed to leave the East Palace. There is evidence from the minister that these people have frequently gathered together in private since half a month ago, and Mu Yushi also sent several other people of insignificant value. Faye's gift."
The people who were named by Yun Yushi were full of bad luck, but they had to stand up.
Emperor Yonghe's voice could not distinguish between joy and anger, he said in a deep voice, "Look at the recent excerpts on the imperial censor's platform, and bring them all."
Eunuch Meng withdrew from the main hall silently, and went to get the notes as Emperor Yonghe ordered.
Mu Yushi couldn't help but argue for himself, pulled his sparse beard and said, "As a censor, your duty is to supervise the officials and clean up the government. Even if you and several colleagues impeach Song Shaoyin at the same time, it is also the salary of the emperor. To share your worries, I just happened to see one place. This is the job of the ministers."
"On the contrary, Song Shaoyin, who was in the East Palace, actually stretched out his hand to Yushitai. In order to cover up his criminal evidence, he bribed Yun Yushi, and beat him up first. His ambition to cover the sky with one hand is really appalling." Mu Yushi went directly to The frontmost position went to find Song Peiyu who stood honestly, and pointed her trembling fingers straight at Song Peiyu's face, wishing to eat her flesh raw.
Song Peiyu took two steps back and hid behind Chong Yi.
Mu Yushi was even more excited when he saw this, and his voice was harsher than the eunuch's, "Song Shaoyin is guilty, what are you hiding? But the old man was right, and I feel ashamed of your majesty's trust and the court clothes on you?"
Chong Yi, who seemed to be sleeping with his eyes open, suddenly raised his wrist and raised the table above his head.
Can't wait to pull Song Peiyu to the center to accept the condemnation from the court, to prove that he is right, Mu Yushi completely ignores Chong Yi who is between him and Song Peiyu.So that he was caught off guard and bumped into the corner of the table that was raised suddenly, and fell unsteadily on Mu Shizhong's body.
Poor Mu Shizhong was defenseless, rolled into a mess with Mu Yushi, and became Mu Yushi's meat pad.
Song Peiyu coughed lightly, barely holding back the smile in his throat, and bowed to Mu Shizhong and Mu Yushi who were lying on the ground, "I'm not guilty, but I can't face the boss with his mouth open, halazi An overwhelming fear."
It seemed to confirm Song Peiyu's words.
With a bang, the table that Chong Yi held above his head with one hand fell to the ground.
Chong Yi stood up from his seat for the first time since going to court, and his face was extremely ugly.
"puff"
King Su stared wide-eyed, and looked around aggressively, "You look at what this king is doing? Why don't you hurry up and help the two elders?"
All the officials dared not speak out, and they couldn't be like King Su, who smiled and refused to admit it. They could only hold back, their faces flushed.
When Eunuch Meng came back from the apse, he ignored the chaos in the court hall and put a stack of papers in his hand on the imperial case of Emperor Yonghe. In the three-day memorial, I found a memorial signed by several adults."
Emperor Yonghe reached out and tapped on the script, and said loudly, "Who is young and full of energy. Come and read the script for everyone to see if they can communicate with each other before submitting the script."
Those who met Emperor Yonghe's eyes all lowered their heads, no one wanted to step into this muddy water.
Emperor Yonghe snorted coldly, and said in an impatient tone, "Then whoever puts in the booklet will read it, starting from the top one." Emperor Yonghe opened the booklet, looked at it, and threw the booklet down from the top, "Yu Shitai Zuo Zhongcheng, come on, read it out loud for me!"
Standing up from Yun Yushi, Zuo Zhongcheng of Yushitai, whose face was not good-looking, became even more ugly when he heard the words, but he dared not disobey Emperor Yonghe's order.
He was the first to recite his own scriptures, so he was lucky enough to hope that the rest of them would be able to use their brains when they read the scriptures. Therefore, although it was inevitable that he was short of energy and his voice was not loud enough, at least he could read all the scriptures from the end to the end. over.
The second book that was dropped from the imperial case came from an exceptionally young imperial censor.
He doesn't have the good concentration of Zuo Zhongcheng.
Since Zuo Zhongcheng began to read the scriptures, the dense sweat on his forehead has not disappeared. After hearing Emperor Yonghe call his name, the young Yushi looked around blankly, and when he took a step, his feet went limp and he fell to the ground.
The young censor cried out of fright, knelt on the ground with all four limbs, begging for mercy frantically, "Your Majesty, forgive me, Your Majesty forgive me!"
Emperor Yonghe was so angry with such idiots that his head hurt, he said in a deep voice, "What is your crime?"
The young Yushi was stunned, and subconsciously looked at Mu Yushi and Zuo Zhongcheng.
Song Peiyu took a step forward, just blocking the gaze of the young censor, and smiled kindly, "Bring me the booklet?"
After finishing speaking, Song Peiyu did not wait for the reaction of the young censor, bent down and took the folds scattered on the ground in his hands.
Facing Song Peiyu who was slowly approaching, the young censor seemed to have seen a scourge, crawled back with his head held high, hands and feet, and said indiscriminately, "I plead guilty! The content of this note is the same as that of Mr. Zuo Zhongcheng. It's exactly the same, it's Mu Yushi's confession
"You also slandered that Lubeng Liaoshi hit his head just now, and he just recovered. Hearing what the young censor said, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to pounce on the young censor.
Song Peiyu was taken aback and backed away again and again to avoid accidental injury, but suddenly felt a strong force coming from her waist, and she threw herself forward uncontrollably.
Mu Yushi and Song Peiyu fell to the ground at the same time, but not together.
Before Mu Yushi could reach Song Peiyu, he fell down by himself, lying on the ground and rolling his eyes, his right arm was also bent into a distorted appearance.
In contrast, Song Peiyu fell much lighter, and Murong Jing reached out and grabbed Song Peiyu in time.Although Song Peiyu only pulled off half of Song Peiyu's sleeve because he was too far away to use his strength, it eased the momentum of Song Peiyu's fall to the ground. Except for the sore frame, there was no serious problem.
Song Peiyu looked in the direction he was avoiding before, and found that they were all people who had no impression, so he could only hold back his anger for a while, and pleaded guilty to Emperor Yonghe, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for your dishonesty."
Yu Shitai Zuo Zhongcheng took the lead and questioned Song Peiyu, "What did Song Shaoyin want to do just now? Even if Mu Yushi impeached you, he was only doing his job, and you are so angry that you can't silence on the spot?"
Sneering came from the crowd, Yun Chen pointed at Yushitai Zuo Zhongcheng with a sneer on his face, "Since those tricks of yours are useless, don't worry about it. The place where Mu Yushi fell is so far away from Song Shaoyin, you can still rely on it." To Song Shaoyin?"
Yushitai Zuo Zhongcheng saw Yun Chen's face that was very similar to Yun Yushi's, and then he remembered where the source of all this chaos came from, and suddenly he was angry, and even the young Yushi's unscrupulous words in his heart The fear arose, he lost his mind in an instant, and said with scarlet eyes, "Old dog Yun, you will not end well if you eat inside and outside like this, Mr. Mu..."
Mu Shizhong suddenly kicked over the table in front of him, interrupted Yushitai Zuo Zhongcheng's words in time, and stood there with a livid face, "What do you think the court hall is, and you are acting like a housewife?"
Song Jinyu coughed lightly, and said slowly, "Why is Shizhong Mu so furious? His Majesty hasn't said anything yet. I think His Majesty has never seen the faces of his courtiers before. He was curious and wanted to see more, but you Disturbed interest."
"You don't need to look at such rude and disrespectful behavior." Mu Shizhong said coldly.
Song Jinyu shook his head and stopped arguing with Mu Shizhong.
There was a young censor who didn't tell himself, and there were several excerpts with almost exactly the same content in the back.
The crime of forming a party for personal gain was firmly held on the Yushitai, and most of the Yushitai could hardly absolve themselves of the blame.On the contrary, Song Peiyu, who was supposed to be a target today, was ignored, and she knelt on the ground wearing most of her court clothes and fell into autism.
Fortunately, Song Peiyu was very popular in the palace. When he saw that his court clothes were damaged, a little eunuch went to fetch the cloak, but he didn't dare to come easily because of the solemn atmosphere of the court, so he could only wait at the door with his head bowed.
Chong Yi also saw the little eunuch holding the clothes, and waved towards him.
Only then did the little eunuch dare to come over, and put the cloak on Song Peiyu's body to block his sleeves that were pulled off.
Song Peiyu thanked him in a low voice. Seeing that Emperor Yonghe and the bosses in front hadn't noticed him, he got up and wrapped his cloak, and then found... it was mopping the floor again, not his cloak.
Song Peiyu subconsciously looked at the owner of the cloak, only to find that Chongyi's boots embroidered with dragon patterns had been scratched for some reason, and the whole dragon's tail was in a mess and mixed with dust, which was incompatible with Chongyi.
In the end, Yushitai Zuo Zhongcheng, and all the censors with the same papers were all beaten to the end.
Although Yun Yushi was successful in reporting, he was originally in a small group that formed a clique for personal gain.
Nian Zaiyun Yushi turned back in time and did not give him the same punishment as the others, so his merits and demerits were equal.
Song Peiyu was also verbally warned and fined half a year's salary.
It's just that Song Peiyu was fined just this morning
