The scumbag son-in-law dressed as a husband

During this time, let alone rain, there were no clouds visible to the naked eye in the sky.

The climate is long and dry, the heat is unbearable, and the days are extremely difficult, but the emperor's dragon boat still needs thousands of trackers to tow it.

It is unimaginable to have to do such extremely arduous work under such a vicious sun.

In less than a day, hundreds of trackers fell ill one after another, and some could never stand up again.

Therefore, during the journey from Yangzhou to Jinling, the trackers changed batches after batches, which caused complaints from everyone around them, and they couldn't bear to hear about it.

It's fine if the government has a pension, but this is a compulsory apportionment by the government, and it doesn't take money from the treasury. How can the government be willing to pay more?

Usually the wages of the trackers are one tael of silver, but when it is the turn of these people, they are only paid one tael, and if they die unfortunately, there will be no more.

Of course, it was not that no one wanted to advise Emperor Qing on this matter, but these days, Emperor Qing never showed up, and Ziwei ordered Lu Shuo to convey all his wishes.

Lu Shuo was in charge of summoning the trackers, so who would dare to have any objections?

Seeing that Jinling was approaching, the long-lost rain finally fell from the sky, Emperor Qing's Long Yan was very happy, and no one dared to touch the emperor's bad luck at this time.

The dragon boat is about to arrive in Jinling.

Jinling City is the most important place under the jurisdiction of Jiangnan Province, and many officials from Jiangnan Province also stay here all year round, including Gu Zhong, the censor of Yanyan.

All the civil and military officials of Jinling City are waiting for the arrival of Shengjia at the port.

After an unknown period of time, a dragon boat sailed across the clear and pristine Qinhuai River, several feet high and almost the entire width of the water.

At this time, people took a closer look and found that those were densely packed ships that accompanied them as far as the eye could see.

The dragon boat that Emperor Qing was on looked like a lifelike dragon, with resplendent and magnificent carvings on it.

When the dragon boat is running, the dragon's head is facing the sky, the dragon's tail is on the ground, and the boat is full of colorful flags, fluttering and swaying, like a flying dragon rising against the wind, which is extremely magnificent.

Surrounded by the crowd, Emperor Qing stepped down from the dragon boat step by step, climbed onto the newly built high platform, and accepted the congratulations of all the officials, followed by Ziwei Ling Lu Shuo.

Everyone respectfully lowered their heads to pay respects, and at the same time, they couldn't help but secretly glanced at the demeanor of the most honorable person in the world.

Although Emperor Qing is 45 years old, he is well-maintained and walks like a dragon and a tiger without getting angry.

But the emperor was a bit old after all, there were some wrinkles between his eyebrows and eyes, and there were more gray hairs in his hair.

As for Lu Shuo, who was standing beside the emperor, he was so majestic and majestic that he could compare with the three princes behind him!

After Emperor Qing finished his performance, he looked around and soon saw a familiar face among the crowd in front of him. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Gu Zhong, come forward and let me see you."

The smile between Gu Zhong's brows and eyes almost overflowed, how could he have imagined that His Majesty would give him face like this, and he would be the first one to express condolences to him, this kind of honor is really the only one.

When Gu Zhong came up, Emperor Qing patted him on the shoulder kindly and said: "Gu Zhong, you have done a good job in Jinling for the past ten years as a patrolling salt censor, and you have guarded the Jiangnan salt administration for me. It is related to the lifeline of the country, and I am very relieved to entrust it to you."

Gu Zhong hurriedly said: "This is the duty of a minister. Your Majesty's praise, I am ashamed and dare not take it."

"Haha, why do you have to be so modest? I praise you because you did a good job. By the way, you have been away from Beijing for so many years, and I may not have seen you for a long time, and your nephew."

Emperor Qing looked at Shao Zhen behind him, meaning something.

Shao Zhen had a surprised smile on his face, as if he really saw Gu Zhong for the first time in so many years. In fact, Shao Zhen had already met his uncle the last time he secretly went south under the order.

Seeing the emperor's actions, all the civil and military officials present also tacitly agreed.

After a while, the emperor began to receive high-ranking local officials, and the prefect Lin Wanming stepped forward nervously. Fortunately, His Majesty didn't have much impression of him, so he just offered a few casual words of condolence, and let him stand aside.

After the interviews were over, Eunuch Liu, who was in charge of building the palace before, stepped forward and saluted cautiously: "Slave Liu Qiang, I respectfully welcome Sheng'an, and please take a look at the palace by Your Majesty."

Eunuch Liu lowered his head, cold sweat poured out of his back one after another.

From just now, when Emperor Qing asked Gu Zhong to come forward, Eunuch Liu secretly felt something was wrong.

In charge of the palace this time, Eunuch Liu also knew that he had offended Shao Zhen.

Shao Zhen is the third prince and His Majesty's most beloved son. Why doesn't Eunuch Liu understand that if he goes against Shao Zhen, what will happen?

But what Xie Shu said before is the same, even if he obeys Shao Zhen's orders, the other party will hold his deadly handle, and he will be controlled by others everywhere in the future, and the end will not be much better.

Therefore, Eunuch Liu decided to take a gamble. Now that he is in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he will do this job well for His Majesty. When he returns to Beijing, he may not be able to make further progress. At that time, it will be difficult for the third prince to do anything to him. Even more difficult, no matter how bad it is, he can still rely on the prince.

However, Eunuch Liu did not expect that when His Majesty first came to Jinling, he showed an extraordinary attitude towards the Gu family.

Gu Zhong is the third prince's uncle, and the Gu family is the third prince's relatives, so why not take the third prince's side.

Not to mention...

Eunuch Liu suddenly remembered a piece of news, he only found out later that the palace was built on the West Garden built by Gu Zhong!

When the thought turned to this, Eunuch Liu was not afraid, and I don't know if it was an illusion, Eunuch Liu always felt cold all over, and it must be Shao Zhen who was looking at him.

Eunuch Liu cursed inwardly, he blamed Xie Shu for hurting him!

Hearing Eunuch Liu's words, Emperor Qing also became a bit interested. Before Eunuch Liu told him that the salt merchants in Jinling offered to donate a palace to him as a token of his kindness.

How could Emperor Qing be unhappy?I can't wait to see this palace.

Emperor Qing was about to speak, when Gu Zhong suddenly said: "Your Majesty, this palace is in the outskirts of Jinling, and it will take some time for Your Majesty to go there. I dare you, why don't you ask Your Majesty to live in my mansion first, and I will definitely do my best to take care of you?" His Majesty."

Hearing what Gu Zhong said, Emperor Qing also remembered that he had said in the secret decree to Gu Zhong that he would live in his house for a few days, so it would be hard to go back on his word.

Emperor Qing nodded in agreement, and the emperor's words could not be changed.

Eunuch Liu watched helplessly, but he didn't dare to say anything more.

When His Majesty went to Gu Zhong's mansion, Eunuch Liu hurriedly went to the door to find Xie Shu, Xie Shu had to give him an idea today.

If he was convicted, Xie Shu would not be able to escape.

Today, because Shengjia arrived in Jinling, the royal road was wide open, and ordinary people were not allowed to walk around the street at will, but could only watch from both sides of the street.

But Xie Shu didn't go to the teacher's house, he had another thing to do.

At this time, when Xie Shu heard the news that Eunuch Liu had come to his house, Xie Shu also felt a bit like a storm was about to come.

Eunuch Liu was in a bad mood, so he came in with a pretentious face.

Seeing this, Xie Shu was still calm, and after meeting Eunuch Liu, he invited Eunuch Liu to sit down and talk.

Seeing that Xie Shu behaved calmly and calmly as always, Eunuch Liu seemed to have calmed down, and the look on his face looked much better.

Immediately afterwards, Eunuch Liu quickly talked about what happened just now.

Since His Majesty showed such kindness to the Gu family, Gu Zhong took the initiative to invite His Majesty to go to the Gu Mansion first. With Gu Zhong as a person, how could he not be prepared to be there?

Gu Zhong definitely wanted to take this opportunity to do something unfavorable to the two of them.

Xie Shu was not surprised when he heard this, but he was also shocked.

He had expected it before, knowing that Gu Zhong would definitely not let it go, but he didn't expect Gu Zhong's actions to be so fast, and Emperor Qing's favoritism towards the Gu family was even more obvious at a glance.

The Gu family has now gained the upper hand, Emperor Qing does not know how long he will live in the Gu residence, during this period, if Gu Zhong says something in front of the emperor, it is impossible to guard against.

The teacher is right, even if you want to make up for it in the future, it is already irreparable.

After Eunuch Liu finished speaking in one breath, he looked at Xie Shu. He thought that Xie Shu's face would show some fear, but what he didn't expect was that his expression didn't change at all. He just lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes, thinking quietly.

Eunuch Liu's heart moved, and he changed his tone of kindness and tentatively said: "Mr. Xie, but what idea did you think of?"

Xie Shu pondered for a while, looked at him and said softly: "To be honest with Eunuch Liu, Gu Zhong is now at the side of the emperor, and it is impossible for the two of us to compare. He has taken the lead, so it may be difficult."

Eunuch Liu didn't know that Xie Shu's words hit the nail on the head, even he, a steward of the House of Internal Affairs, couldn't serve the emperor by his side.

But Xie Shu just now clearly...

The more Eunuch Liu thought about it, the more angry he became. At this moment, Xie Shu showed a complicated look and said, "Eunuch Liu, there is actually another way, but..."

Eunuch Liu doesn't care what it is, he immediately asked: "What is it?"

Only then did Xie Shu speak, he sighed and said, "If you say that the emperor is a close minister, who else can compare to Master Lu Shuo?"

Eunuch Liu's eyes lit up, yes, in fact, it was not Shao Zhen who impressed everyone today.

Who doesn't know well that His Majesty loves Shao Zhen so much, and half of the intention is to check and balance the crown prince. If His Majesty really wants to change the crown prince, he must first make a big mistake. Besides, the crown prince is related to the country, which is enough to shake the government and the public. Your Majesty Not so confused yet!

Now next to His Majesty, the one who is really valued by His Majesty is Lu Shuo, and Lu Shuo is in the prime of his life, with a strong heart, and his favor is everlasting. His words are more effective than ten sentences of others.

The reason why Eunuch Liu didn't think of Lu Shuo just now was because Lu Shuo was a hard-to-talk person, and he seemed easy to get along with, but it was not easy to ask him to do something.

Besides, Lu Shuo's status is sensitive, and he seldom makes friends with eunuchs, so the thoughts in Eunuch Liu's mind will naturally not go to him.

But when Xie Shu said this, Eunuch Liu also thought of something.

Xie Shu and Lu Shuo are brothers from the same school, now that Lu Shuo is back in Jinling, how could he not visit his teacher's school?

Even if Jiang Hong turned against his master and apprentice, how could Lu Shuo not care about his own reputation?

So Xie Shu is probably the only one who can speak in front of Lu Shuo now...but...

Xie Shu obviously thought of this too, and he said with a disappointed expression: "If the teacher finds out that I went to visit my brother privately, the teacher will definitely regret accepting me as an apprentice."

Then, Xie Shu changed the subject and said to Eunuch Liu: "It's just that this matter concerns your and my lives. I have to go there, but I must not disclose it to others. I also ask Eunuch Liu to keep it secret for me. By the way, help me."

Eunuch Liu laughed out loud, nodded naturally and agreed, and even praised Xie Shu for being resourceful, courageous and insightful, and laughed in his heart. This Jiang Hong thought he had accepted a good apprentice this time, but he never expected that the latter It's the same as the previous one!

However, Xie Shu has such a heart and acts like this, Eunuch Liu is even more optimistic about him. At the same time, thinking that he has such a handle on Xie Shu now, the two of them seem to have no barriers when they cooperate.

After discussing the details with Xie Shu, Eunuch Liu and Xie Shu were about to leave. At this time, Xie Shu suddenly remembered something and said to Eunuch Liu: "Eunuch, there is one more thing I'm afraid I need to ask Eunuch to help."

After a while, Eunuch Liu agreed with all his heart. For him, this kind of thing is really a trivial matter.

It's just that Eunuch Liu really doesn't understand. He also heard the news in the past few days, saying that the merchant, Su Kai, wanted to take a twin son, Wei Qingtong, as his concubine.

I heard that Wei Qingtong was quite famous in Jinling City and was called "Little Guanyin". It was not surprising that Xie Shu wanted to rob someone, but why didn't he put him by his side and send him away far away?

Is it really like what Xie Shu said, it's just a neighbor's relationship, take care of it.

Although Eunuch Liu was curious, he didn't ask, and these words were rarely more important than anything else.

Seeing that Eunuch Liu agreed, Xie Shu was also relieved.In the past few days, Xie Shu investigated this matter and found that it was not simple. This Su Kai had married several concubines before, and they were all very perfunctory. People who are willing to suffer easily.

However, Wei Qingtong was not difficult for Su Kai to win, but Su Kai agreed to several conditions raised by Wei Qingtong one by one, there must be something tricky in it.

Eunuch Liu went out differently than when he came, his pace was relaxed, and just after walking not far, he bumped into Mr. Yu Lang who was walking towards him.

The weather is hot now, and people standing outside can barely breathe. Eunuch Liu has always been afraid of heat, so he had a bitter face for a long time, but when he saw Yu Langjun, Eunuch Liu had already loosened his brows.

Unexpectedly, Eunuch Liu was here, Yu Chuxi was slightly surprised, then nodded with a smile.

Eunuch Liu had no doubts at this moment, Mr. Yu Langjun's appearance had never been seen even in the emperor's palace, and it was even more stunning that Eunuch Liu had seen in his life.As for other things, Eunuch Liu couldn't say anything bad about it.

So it is not surprising that Xie Shu is like this.

Seeing Eunuch Liu go away, Yu Chuxi came back to his senses, always felt that the smile that Eunuch Liu showed just now was a little strange.

By the way, what is Eunuch Liu doing here?

Yu Chuxi was worried that something had happened, but looking at Eunuch Liu's appearance, it seemed that it was not.

Yu Chuxi shook his head, no longer thinking about it, he walked upstairs quickly, or just ask Xie Shu.

Yu Chuxi walked outside the door, just put his fingers on it, and was about to push the door in, but heard a faint voice from inside the house: "Xi Mo, you will go to Wei's house later..."

This voice used to murmur in his ear, coaxing him gently, so familiar.

Yu Chuxi was in a daze for a while, and suddenly realized that he could no longer deceive himself and others. It was Xie Shu's voice.
