It wasn't until the little eunuch came to the Nuan Pavilion to clean up the mess that Xue Shu left, bringing with him a plate of unfinished dragon beard crisps.

He was dressed in the clothes of a former soldier in Xichang, with serious eyes, but he held a plate of snacks in his hand. On the way back to Xichang, he attracted the attention of many people.

Even Yin Chengjing, who had just returned to the palace, noticed it. He squeezed a folding fan, leaned drunkenly on a beautiful actor, squinted his eyes for a while, and asked the waiter beside him, "Is that Xue Shu?"

"Yes, that's right." The waiter didn't really recognize Xue Shu's appearance, but he had heard it mentioned several times in the past two days.

On the night of the New Year's Eve banquet, Xue Shu single-handedly killed the demon fox. His sword was sharp and his brows were blood-soaked. His bravery left an indelible impression on many people present.In addition, the emperor later appointed him to investigate the demon fox case, so the name of Xue Shu can be heard from time to time in the past few days.

It is said that he was a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old. He offended the steward of the East Palace as soon as he entered the palace, and was sent to Xichang to eat ashes.Who would have thought that he would have such a skill, he just got up from the mud again with a knife.

Many people even speculated that with such a No. [-] person, the Xichang, which had been silent for a long time, might rise again.

"That good elder brother of the king, there are times when he is mistaken. No wonder he has been summoning people to the East Palace these two days. I'm afraid he is busy trying to win him over. Let's go and meet him for a while."

Yin Chengjing snorted, pushed away the actor who was supporting him, straightened his clothes, stepped forward waving a folding fan, and blocked Xue Shu's way: "Little Eunuch Xue is going back to Xichang?"

?

It was the first time for Xue Shu to be called that by someone, and he was taken aback for a moment before he realized it.Although he has not purified himself, he is now a eunuch.He lowered his head to hide the emotions in his eyes, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Return to the third prince, that's right."

Of course he recognized Yin Chengjing, and he even remembered that at the New Year's Eve banquet, His Highness always glanced at Yin Chengjing intentionally or unintentionally.

"What are you holding in your hand is dragon beard crisp?" Yin Chengjing probed for a while, and said, "Brother always likes to eat this stuff, wouldn't it be the one who gave it to you?" He raised his eyebrows in a surprised tone : "I heard that you just broke the demon fox case, so the eldest brother will reward you with this?"

Xue Shu frowned, he couldn't hear others saying that Yin Chengyu was not good at all.

"I like to eat it, so I asked His Royal Highness for it."

However, Yin Chengjing obviously didn't believe it. He covered his lips with a fan and smiled inexplicably: "Little Eunuch Xue is content."

Xue Shu quickly raised his eyes to look at him, and his patience began to run out: "If the third prince is fine, I will retire first, and the file of the demon fox case needs to be sorted out and submitted to His Majesty as soon as possible."

His tone was not respectful, but Yin Chengjing was not annoyed at all, and stepped out gracefully: "Then don't delay little Eunuch Xue's work for the emperor, please."

Xue Shu brushed past him unceremoniously.

Yin Chengjing watched his back go away, and after a long time, he turned his head and told the actor who was supporting him: "Tell the news of today to the second child, just say... Xue Shu made great achievements, but was dismissed by the prince with a plate of snacks." .”

As for the rest, let his second brother do it.

Because of recalling his previous life, Yin Chengyu never summoned Xue Shu again in the first few days, but the news about Xue Shu did not stop.

Taoist Wangchen "suicide in fear of crime", Emperor Longfeng was furious.Not only did the high-ranking people who had been invited back to make offerings be thrown out of the palace, they also ordered people to throw the body of Taoist Wangchen to the mass grave to feed the wild dogs.In a short time, he probably won't trust those high-minded Taoist priests anymore.

Because of this incident, even Dongchang and Jinyiwei were suspended. Gao Xian and Gong Hongfei were fined for one year after being reprimanded by Emperor Longfeng for their negligence.

The eunuchs and the commanders of Jinyiwei, the dignified ceremonial supervisors, naturally do not lack this kind of salary, but more of it is the shame of face and the fear of losing the sacred heart.

And Xue Shu, who was in charge of solving the case, won Emperor Longfeng's favor without accident.

His posture of beheading the demon fox was really brave, and Emperor Longfeng was even more delighted when he learned that he was not transferred from Jinyiwei to Xichang, but a servant in the palace.

I feel that there is a reason to trust my courtiers. It's not that he relies heavily on his courtiers. It's really that Jin Yiwei and courtiers are too useless!

He even asked Xue Shu to take turns competing with a dozen guards in brocade clothes in the school field in the name of the school examination.

The result is naturally Xue Shu wins.

Xue Shu's fists and kicks have been practiced in the market for more than ten years. He has a ruthless strength in his bones, and his strikes are ruthless and merciless. The guards in brocade clothes who go on stage are always carried away by others. go down.

Emperor Longfeng's sacred heart was overjoyed, and he issued an order on the spot, and promoted him to be the supervisor of the Royal Horse Supervisor, and the admiral of the Four Guards; he also served as the supervisor of Qianhu in Xichang, and his status was only under the admiral of Xichang. Pet.

"Seeing that His Majesty is going to reuse the West Factory, people inside and outside the palace are flustered. Those who move quickly have already started to find a way to catch up with Supervisor Xue. I heard that the second prince has also sent someone to see him off. As for the congratulatory gifts for promotion, Supervisor Xue accepted all comers."

Speaking of this matter, Zheng Duobao was rather indignant, but he knew the most about Xue Shu's promotion all the way, wasn't it all paved by their highness?

Now that the fruit has grown, some people want to pick the peaches, which is really annoying.

And that Xue Shu, who thought he was loyal, turned out to be so short-sighted and greedy for money!This is when it started to gain momentum, and began to receive gifts!

On the contrary, Yin Chengyu didn't see how anxious he was. He turned a page of the book unhurriedly and said, "What's the hurry? Xue Shu doesn't like them."

It's not that he is too confident in his ability to control people, but that these people have all tried to win over Xue Shu in the previous life, but they all failed.

No matter the past life or present life, Xue Shu is still the same Xue Shu.It is impossible to look up to someone who was looked down upon in the previous life in this life.

What's more, now that Emperor Longfeng reused Xue Shu and restarted the West Factory, it was not only because of Xue Shu's meritorious service in saving his family.Emperor Longfeng had always been suspicious, and now he was stimulated by the demon fox case, he probably still suspected that there was a remnant of Emperor Xiaozong secretly wanting his life, and everyone thought he was a traitor.

Xue Shu had meritorious service in rescuing him, but his background was not obvious, and he had no connection with the inner and outer courts. There was no one who reassured Emperor Longfeng more than him.

When Emperor Longfeng was suspicious, whoever tried to win over Xue Shu was to tell Emperor Longfeng that he had a different heart?

That is to say, the second child has a simple mind to do such stupid things.

Zheng Duobao is not as reassuring as Yin Chengyu at this time, he always feels that Xue Shu will be blinded by the momentary glory, and he will not be able to recognize who his master is.But His Highness didn't care, and it was useless for him to say more, so he could only change the topic to another matter: "The subordinate came to report, and there is news about the matter His Highness ordered to investigate."

"Tell me," Yin Chengyu became interested, and put down the book in his hand.

"That Taoist Wangchen is not from the Wangjing family. It is troublesome to check, and no definite news has been sent back. But the scholar surnamed Zhao has a clue. The Zhao family has been wiped out, and the murder of the demon fox is just a cover-up. "

The family of the scholar surnamed Zhao moved to Wangjing a year ago.He was originally from Tianjin Wei. After making his fortune by water transportation, his family moved to Wangjing.Because the Zhao family is kind and charitable, they are also quite famous in Wangjing City.

Later, it was rumored that the demon fox destroyed the family, and the people who had received favors sighed for a while.

But these are all things on the surface. After Yin Chengyu sent people to dig deeper, they found that the fox demon's evil deeds were fake, but it was true that the Zhao family was exterminated.

"People from Tianjin Wei, have you made a fortune by water transportation?" Yin Chengyu tapped on the table with his fingers: "What are you transporting? Where are you going?"

Zheng Duobao said: "Take the canal and head south. On the surface, it is said that wine, noodles, glutinous rice and other things are transported, but in fact, the transport is Changlu salt."

The Changlu Salt Farm is under the jurisdiction of the Changludu Salt Envoy Division, and the Changludu Salt Envoy Division's yamen is located in Tianjin Wei.

"Private salt?" Yin Chengyu suddenly raised his eyes and figured out all the tricks in an instant.

Dayan has five salt transshipment divisions in Lianghuai, Liangzhe, Changlu, Shandong, and Hedong. The management and control of official salt trading is very strict.

However, Changlu salt can only be sold to North Zhili, Henan and other places according to the policy of "leading the shore for exclusive sales".

But in recent years, because of the huge profits of private salt, private salt dealers have repeatedly banned them.There are often private salt dealers who transport the private salt to various places in the south and earn huge profits.In addition, the officials of the Salt Envoy and the local tyrants and gangs collude with each other, reselling salt, selling private salt, disrupting the salt market, and driving up prices.

In the last life, Fang Zhengke, the inspector of the salt inspector, was ordered to go to the Changlu Salt Envoy to inspect the salt class, but after one month, eight hundred miles rushed back to the memorial, denouncing the Changlu transfer envoy for colluding with profiteers, privately selling salt, and obtaining The salt profit reached millions of taels.

As soon as this incident happened, the court was in an uproar, and Emperor Longfeng was even more furious. He ordered a thorough investigation, and no one in the Changlu Salt Envoy was spared from top to bottom.

However, Wan Youliang, the Changlu transshipment envoy at the time, cried out bitterly after being escorted to Beijing, and produced a lot of evidence to identify that only half of the millions of taels of stolen money went into his pocket, and the bulk was actually embezzled by the previous transshipment envoy.And the reason why he participated in the private sale of Yanyin was also bewitched by the other party.

The transfer envoy of Dayan Salt Envoy is appointed every three years, and the eldest uncle Yu Chen is the previous transfer envoy of Changlu Salt Envoy.

At that time, Wan Youliang was identified in court with tears of tears and blood, and there were many letters and evidences of his contacts with Yu Chen.And everyone knows that Wan Youliang is Yu Shoufu's disciple and has many contacts with Yu Chen, so he has no reason to frame Yu Chen at all.

Yu Chen, who was suddenly implicated in it, couldn't argue with anything, and was sent to prison immediately.

Afterwards, the three divisions held a joint trial, and Emperor Longfeng personally convicted him, and everything was done in a hurry.

Smuggling salt, selling illegal salt, and accepting bribes are serious crimes of ransacking one's family and exterminating one's family.The virtuous reputation accumulated by my grandfather's life was destroyed in one day, and the Yu family was punished all over the family, and their reputation was ruined.

On the contrary, Wan Youliang, who was dragged out at the beginning, was only sentenced to exile because of the Yu family standing in front of him.

And the mastermind behind the scenes was even more unharmed.

Zhongliang bears a bad name, and the villain sits in the high hall.

Thinking about it now, Yin Chengyu gritted his teeth with hatred.

He lowered his eyes and thought for a long time before he said coldly: "Prepare the sedan chair, I have to go to Nanxunfang alone."

——The Yu Mansion is in the Red Factory Alley of Nanxunfang.

It has always been his heart disease that he failed to save the Yu family in the previous life.

Later, when he ascended the throne, he wanted to thoroughly investigate the old case, but due to the long time, the files and evidence at that time were also burned by those who cared, and Wan Youliang died long ago in exile.There was no witness or material evidence, and he couldn't even reverse the case for the Yu family and clear the stigma.

If Xue Shu hadn't found the only remaining blood of his uncle later, he might not be able to let go of it until he died.

Yin Chengyu got off the sedan chair, looked at the "Yu Mansion" plaque above his head, closed his eyes and calmed down, and then walked in.

In this life, whoever should be is whoever it is.

None can escape.

Yin Chengyu had a long conversation with his grandfather and two uncles, and Zishi had passed since Yu Mansion left.

He leaned against the sedan chair wall, although his face was a little tired, it was not as tense as when he came here, and he seemed much more relaxed.

Therefore, when the sedan chair stopped in front of Ciqing Palace, and Yin Chengyu saw that it was Xue Shu who was pulling the curtain of the sedan chair, he didn't feel angry any more, and even smiled a little more in his eyes—if Xue Shu hadn't been astute and discovered Paper, although he can also try to save the eldest uncle from disaster, it must not be so easy.

"You don't sleep in the middle of the night, just to wait here and close the curtain for Gu?"

Xue Shu shook his head: "I have something to give to Your Highness."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Yin Chengyu with a good eye, waiting for his response.

Yin Chengyu glanced at him, and stopped reprimanding him for his offense: "Come in and talk."

The flowing cloud-like hem of the clothes floated past in front of him, and Xue Shu smelled the cold fragrance of plum blossoms again.

It's sweet and smells good.

He greedily caught the scent that seemed to be absent, and strode behind.

He spent a lot of energy today, Yin Chengyu was really tired, and he didn't bother to talk to Xue Shu in the main hall with airs, so he led him to the side hall of the bedroom.

The dragon burning in the hall was very strong, so he took off his cloak, changed into a light casual clothes and soft-soled shoes, and came out to meet Xue Shu.

"What is it that you want to present to Gu in such a hurry? Bring it up." Yin Chengyu leaned lazily in the armchair, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

He originally had a delicate appearance, but at this time the hair crown was removed, and the black hair was half-dossed, which complemented his jade-like complexion and beautiful eyebrows and eyes.But he didn't know it, his posture was lazy, his eyes were sparkling, and under the shining candlelight, he was so enchantingly beautiful.

As if in a snowy field, the red plum trees bloom overnight, shining brightly,

It was the first time Xue Shu saw him like this, and he couldn't look away for a while, and the dark eyes were full of waves.

Yin Chengyu raised his eyes inadvertently, met his gaze, immediately lowered his eyebrows, and put down the teacup heavily: "Xue Shu!"

There was a clanging sound when the teacups collided, Xue Shu then looked away, and held the box at his feet to Yin Chengyu.

The box was one foot high, two feet long and wide, and looked rather heavy to the hand.

"Open it and take a look."

Yin Chengyu raised his chin, Zheng Duobao understood, stepped forward to open the box, and was immediately dazzled by the gold, silver and jade objects inside.

"This is..." He looked at Xue Shu with a puzzled expression.

If you say it's a gift, I haven't seen anyone directly pile up a box of gold, silver and jade wares in one place, which is too shameful!

But if it wasn't for giving gifts, would it be a bribe to move such a big box in the middle of the night?

"Your Majesty rewards me, give it all to Your Highness."

Xue Shu took two steps forward with the box in his arms, and put it on the small table beside Yin Chengyu.

Yin Chengyu picked up a white jade lion and squinted it for a while, then smiled: "Yin Chengzhang gave it to you?"

He had seen such a white jade lion at the second place. The white jade that carved the lion was very rare, and the whole body was shiny and flawless. There were only two green spots. Skillful craftsmen carved it into a lion according to the shape. The two green dots just made the jade lion's eyes.

Because it is very rare, the second child likes it very much, but he did not expect to be willing to use it to win Xue Shu.

"There are others who gave it to me." Xue Shu said "Yes", quite confidently: "I reported it to His Majesty, and His Majesty said that I will handle it."

Yin Chengyu laughed again when he heard the words, and cast a glance at him: "Cunning."

When someone gave him a gift, he turned around and gave it to Emperor Longfeng.Not only won the trust of Emperor Longfeng, but also gained real benefits.

But thinking about it carefully, Xue Shu was the same in his last life, with a dog-like temper.

In order to win over Xue Shu, the second child in the previous life also gave him gifts.

I still remember that not long after he was welcomed back to the East Palace, there were many speculations about his relationship with Xue Shu, and because of Xue Shu's overnight stay in Ciqing Palace, there were many rumors and gossips.For this reason, the second son specially sent people to Jiangnan to find two well-proportioned young men and came back. After training, he eagerly asked someone to give it to Xue Shu.

Unexpectedly, Xue Shu didn't play cards according to common sense, he drew his sword and beheaded the man on the spot, cut off his head and sent it to Lao Er's house, saying that the man he sent wanted to assassinate.

In the end, the second child spent 20 taels of silver to redeem the bodies of the two, and only then did the matter rest in peace.

I didn't expect to see the fun of the second child in the first life again.

If the second child finds out, I'm afraid he will vomit blood with anger.

Yin Chengyu was in a good mood immediately, and gave Xue Shu an appreciative glance: "Not bad."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Xue Shu again, and said tentatively: "Yin Chengzhang treats you so kindly, are you really indifferent?"

Xue Shu shook his head, his eyes fixed on Yin Chengyu's face: "I just want to serve His Highness."

If it wasn't for Yin Chengyu's disapproval, he would prefer to stay in the East Palace.

"The reason." Yin Chengyu's heart moved, and his eyes couldn't help but searched.

Xue Shu thought about it, but said there was no reason,

He did what he thought.

From the first time I saw Yin Chengyu, I couldn't help but want to get close to him, wanting to hold everything in the world in front of him.

People in the world say that demons deceive people, but he feels that it is the gods above the nine heavens who really deceive people.

Yin Chengyu is his god, just a face-to-face meeting can make people bow down and bow their heads willingly.
