Xiao Hongjin didn't know that Governor Yu, whom he was thinking of, was next door. After drinking tea, he prepared to go back home regardless of King Hui's persuasion.

The teahouse box was covered by a fine bamboo curtain, and the two curtains next door were lowered, so he couldn't see the people in the box, but the people in the box could see the outside clearly through the moving light and shadow of the bamboo curtain.

Governor Yu looked at the familiar slender figure, full forehead, and high nose bridge of the leading man... He could even see through the gap under the bamboo curtain, the bright hem of the man's clothes, black boots, and moon-white trousers that were raised by the man's excessive strides .

Until the figure disappeared, Director Yu slightly raised the end of his eyes, and silently lowered his head to drink tea.

Zuo Heng, who had a panoramic view of this scene, clicked his lips silently, since he thought about it, let's go see him!Hiding his head and showing his tail like this, peeping secretly, he is almost not like their calculating, ruthless and decisive Master Governor!

"My lord, my uncle is here. I have been waiting for you in the side hall for half an hour." The housekeeper of the palace said when he saw Xiao Hongjin.

Xiao Hongjin was not surprised at all, but when the housekeeper asked him if he wanted tea, he asked him to replace the tea with honeydew melon ice tray and snacks - he drank a lot of tea in the teahouse, and he was a little hungry now.

Uncle Xie Guo was a thin middle-aged man with deep lines between his brows and a dignified face.His face is [-]% similar to Empress Xie, but [-]% similar to his nephew King Jin. When he was young, he should have been handsome and handsome, but now he looks a little old because of his white temples and facial lines.

When he didn't see Xiao Hongjin, he was still a little anxious, but when he saw his leisurely and idle appearance, he became angry again, and reprimanded him with a straight face.

Xiao Hongjin retorted dissatisfiedly: "This king didn't even question uncle about the rumors, but uncle started to scold me first."

Uncle Xie Guo paused: "Your lord knows all about it?"

It just so happened that the butler led the servants to bring the ice tray, Xiao Hongjin sat down, picked up a piece of honeydew melon and gnawed on it: "There are rumors everywhere, this king is not deaf."

To Uncle Xie Guo, he still said the same thing.

Uncle Xie Guo looked at him as a fool, he didn't have a good-looking nephew, he was actually struggling before he came, as soon as King Jin returned to Beijing, such rumors spread in Beijing, obviously he came prepared.

He knew King Jin's character, impulsive and domineering, and he came to the door in person, but he was actually planning to coax King Jin and marry his daughter Jingshu to him.

But who would have thought that his nephew didn't like Jing Shu?King Hui explained it before him, no wonder King Jin is so calm now.

Uncle Xie Guo is not the kind of person who doesn't care about his daughter's life for the sake of profit, on the contrary he dotes on Xie Jingshu very much.King Jin made it clear that he didn't want to marry his daughter anymore, and it was impossible for Uncle Xie Guo to ask them to join forces by force. He sighed, and hurried back to discuss with the clan elders... and Empress Xie in the palace, for sure. Also let me know.

Xiao Hongjin really received another summon from the palace within a few days. He took a deep breath and went away full of fighting spirit.This time he met Emperor Cheng and Empress Xie, no matter how much they questioned him, he said that if he didn't marry the princess, he had to marry the most beautiful one in the world!

King Jin's character has always been competitive, he would say that, Emperor Cheng and Empress Xie were both mentally prepared, but they were surprised that King Jin didn't even want a side concubine or serving maids.

"You don't think so at all?" Chengdi asked with a strange expression. There is nothing wrong with his son, right?It's fine if he didn't grow that tendon when he was young, but now he's grown into a young man, and none of his sons are thirteen or fourteen years old, so they can't wait to hire the maids around him.

Empress Xie looked sideways at Emperor Cheng with her elegant makeup on.Emperor Cheng has been obsessed with meditation these years, and their relationship is not so much a husband and wife, but a relationship between superiors and subordinates is more appropriate.She hasn't seen Emperor Cheng show such an expression for many years, let alone ask such outrageous words to her own son...

Empress Xie said, "Why don't you arrange a few aunts for Jin'er to teach?"

Empress Xie felt that her son probably didn't understand, and when he realized the beauty of it, he would take the initiative to ask for a concubine.

"Don't!" Xiao Hongjin immediately objected: "Mother, you can't let those vulgar fans spoil your minister!"

"What kind of vulgar fans, teach Aunt Xi to be a gentle, charming, beautiful woman who is knowledgeable about etiquette." Emperor Cheng smiled angrily, and really waved for a group of beautiful court ladies with graceful postures, shyly letting King Jin choose.

Xiao Hongjin was not restrained at all, and commented on each of them. For a while, he felt that this waist was too thin, and he was afraid that someone would break it if he pushed it; that chest was too fat and unattractive; ...

In short, after picking and picking, none of the twenty beautiful court ladies was satisfactory to him.

Empress Xie felt that her son was nitpicking. You must know that these court ladies were not all from poor and humble backgrounds, and several of them were not as good as the noble ladies in terms of appearance and demeanor. Her son was so picky, could it be that he really wanted a fairy?

Xiao Hongjin poked his neck: "Anyway, I don't like any of you!"

He didn't eat oil and salt, and Emperor Cheng was angry with him and left.

Empress Xie grabbed her son's sleeve and asked him quietly: "Jin'er really doesn't like your cousin Jingshu?"

"Seriously." Xiao Hongjin looked at Empress Xie seriously: "Queen Mother, don't worry about my son's marriage. The more idiot my son is, the more at ease my father is."

The last two sentences were whispered in her ears. Empress Xie was smart and understood everything: "Jin'er, you..."

She didn't know what she was thinking of, her face became quite ugly, and it took a long time before she smiled bitterly and said: "It's useless to be the queen mother, but Jin'er, you should remind the queen mother..."

Xiao Hongjin patted her on the shoulder and said nothing.

Empress Xie raised her head: "Then if you don't marry Jingshu, who else can you marry? Can't you just stay away from marrying a wife and having children?"

Tiger poison does not eat offspring, no matter how guarded Emperor Cheng is against them, it is impossible for her son to have no descendants.

"My son has his own arrangements. Queen Mother, you put on a show in front of outsiders, and don't worry about the rest."

Empress Xie held his hand tightly, staring at him closely: "Who taught you all these?"

Xiao Hongjin knew that she was suspicious, so he said in a calm and unhurried manner: "I met someone outside, if he hadn't woken up Erchen, Erchen would still be in a daze until now."

One body and two souls can deceive others, but it is a bit difficult to deceive Queen Xie. If it is not true that he cannot hide it, he does not want to use this trick.

Fortunately, King Jin left for two years and gave him enough time to explain this change.

"Who, can you trust it?"

"My son believes him, but I can't tell the queen mother who it is."

Xiao Hongjin actually had a headache. Out of gratitude to the original body, he didn't want to have a conflict with Empress Xie, but he wanted to be with Governor Yu, and conflicts were inevitable.

Forget it, we haven't reached that step anyway, let's go and see all the way.

Xiao Hongjin was kicked out of the palace by the angry Empress Xie because she offended the empress.

Zuo Heng thought that King Jin might not be in a good mood at this time, and he took the opportunity to present a big gift, which should make King Jin feel better - of course, he can't use the governor's reason, otherwise King Jin might be even more angry.

Zuo Heng met King Jin outside, and when he explained his purpose, King Jin raised his eyebrows: "You said you were here to give gifts for Governor Yu, but what about others, why didn't he come to see this King?"

"The governor has something to do..."

"What is more important than this king? He hasn't shown up for half a month, and this king annoyed his father and mother because of his refusal to marry him. He thought that a small gift would make things even? You go back and tell him, no so easy!"

Xiao Hongjin was well aware that Zuo Heng knew about his relationship with Governor Yu, and Governor Yu sent him must have this consideration in mind, so he had no scruples when he opened his mouth.

King Jin's refusal to marry was actually because of their governor?

Zuo Heng was skeptical, and smiled flatteringly: "It's not a small gift, it's something from the Bai family in Huzhou. There are several cars. The governor said that these things should belong to the prince. Yu Jiu finally got them back. The prince will go with the humble job." Shall we go?"

The things of the Bai family, isn't that the property that the former hero Yu Wang received?Unexpectedly, the governor of his family was so powerful, not only killed Bai Jinian, but also brought the Bai family's property.

Xiao Hongjin was curious: "How did Governor Yu pry Bai Jinian's mouth open?"

"Your lord's words underestimate our governor. Is there any iron mouth in this world that the governor can't pry open?" Zuo Heng laughed, which frightened King Jin. Know.

But he admired King Jin quite a lot. Anyone in the East Factory who had seen the superintendent interrogating the prisoner didn't even dare to look at him the next day. They walked around the corner like mice.

However, King Jin was so fascinated by their governor that he gave away the treasure like a small mountain...

Zuo Heng thought that King Jin should compromise with such a big temptation, but the corners of Xiao Hongjin's mouth curled up, and what he said was: "I won't go, my king's sincerity has been declared to the governor, and the governor Whether it’s a bride price or a dowry, he must personally come.”

After finishing speaking, he walked out of the alley without thinking about it, got into the carriage of King Jin's mansion and drove away.

On the other hand, because Governor Yu dealt with Bai Jinian cleanly, the spies from Prince Yu's Mansion failed to catch up with him.

When Xiao Zeyu learned that Bai Jinian had died, he was so angry that he smashed his favorite Chengni inkstone in the study, because he was sure, he knew how to persuade Bai Jinian, and even let the remnants of the Bai family work for him .

But once Bai Jinian died, this plan turned into smoke and dust, but Xiao Zeyu did not give up, he set his mind on the wealth of the Bai family.

At that time, he didn't suspect that Bai Jinian had revealed the things to Yu Huai'en. After all, Bai Jinian had a feud with Dongchang who ransacked his family and wiped out his family.

However, he received news a few days ago that a group of bodyguards who came to Beijing from Huzhou had finished delivering their goods, and were killed by bandits on the way back to Huzhou, and none of them escaped.

There were countless grassroots bandits in the Qing Kingdom, and murders and looting happened every day, so it wasn't worth his attention.But the word "Huzhou" was too sensitive for him, not to mention the money that the bodyguards could bring in the car on the return journey, at most it was the bounties earned by the bodyguards and the souvenirs they bought.

The purpose of bandits is mostly to rob, kill people and kill them so cleanly, that is the only way to silence them.

But King Yu just suspected that he had no evidence, not to mention that with his current status, if he tried Yu Huai'en, he might reveal his secret.

Xiao Zeyu thought for a while, changed a piece of ordinary rice paper to write a secret letter, and then summoned the hidden guards: "No matter what method you use, send this letter to the crown prince."

The dark guard bowed to accept the order: "Yes."
