tease you

In Xisuo Palace, a group of dark guards dressed in black and wearing vertical hair crowns surrounded the five little eunuchs who were kneeling on the ground. Several little eunuchs knelt on the ground and saw the men in black around them. With a ferocious look and despair in their eyes, they know that stealing property from the palace is a capital crime, and this time there is probably no way out.Si'er is also the one kneeling on the ground. While he fears for his own life, he also worries about his old parents. He used to do this to get money to treat his parents. Now that his life is about to die, what should his parents do? Do it?

This group of people waited in panic for an unknown how long before Qu Yi and Wen Renmo entered the Xisuo Palace one after the other.

Li Dajian ordered someone to bring a bamboo chair for the emperor to sit and interrogate, but Qu Yi refused when he saw a white shadow standing in front of him, standing shoulder to shoulder with Wen Renmo, standing in the soft light of the palace In one piece, the temperament is inexplicably blended.

Wen Renmo said indifferently to the eunuch on the ground: "Smuggling property from the palace, you are very bold." Several young ladies kept listening and begging for mercy, only begging the nobleman to let them go, Wen Renmo He said coldly: "According to the rules in the palace, you should all be executed with sticks, but the emperor is merciful, if you can tell who you are instructed by and where you want to transport the things, you can spare your lives. Only once." Qu Yi glanced at Wen Renmo, did not refute, but acquiesced.

Si'er's eyes flickered slightly, and he was a little hesitant, but when he thought of his parents, he raised his head firmly, "My lord, the servant said, I just hope that I can spare the villain's life." Wen Renmo and Qu Yi looked at each other , Qu Yi said very succinctly: "Say", Si'er immediately said: "These things are all to be transported to Li's residence."

Qu Yi's complexion changed slightly, "Li Shangshu Mansion?" "Yes." Si'er nodded, "The servants will go to Xisuo Palace every four or five days to take out the contents and hide them in the swill cart in the palace. Then they get out from the guards, and there will be people outside the palace to pick them up, and those who come will directly transport the things to the Li Mansion." Qu Yi stared at him and said, "How can you be sure that they transported the things to the Li Mansion? Si'er was afraid and said: "The servant has seen their badge, which has the word Li written on it, and they slipped up once and mentioned the name Li Hejia. The servant asked later and knew that he belonged to Li Shangshu." Nephew, now I guess that the things have been transported to the Li Mansion." Qu Yi lowered his head, frowned, and Wen Renmo said to the others: "Anyone else who knows anything, tell them, and they can be judged for their merits." After Si'er took the lead, the others also told what they knew one after another. Qu Yi quickly grasped more comprehensive information. It turned out that Jiang Sheng, the head of the palace's internal affairs office, was the one who arranged everything. The middlemen in contact with the Li family usually follow Eunuch Jiang’s orders, and some of them steal things and hide them in Xisuo Palace. They just transport things out of the palace, but they just didn’t expect to be caught this time. Right, so Qu Yi immediately sent people to arrest Jiang Sheng.

The matter is almost clear, and Qu Yi doesn't want to stay in such a remote place as Xisuo Palace for a long time, leading a lot of people back to Yaoguang Palace.

It was already late at this time, and dusk shrouded the palace, and Qu Yi's side face was dark and uncertain under the light. He was walking when Wen Renmo suddenly said, "Your Majesty, what are you going to do about this matter?" ?”

"What can we do? It's just taking lightly." Qu Yi said in a bad mood, "Unless someone searches Li's house or Jiang Sheng's place for some key evidence, otherwise everything is just a one-sided statement by a servant. I can't just because of A few young eunuchs made a guess and questioned the Li family."

Wen Renmo laughed lightly, causing Qu Yi to take a look, and Wen Renmo said faintly: "Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven above ten thousand people, but you will not feel unwilling to be restrained by the family in everything? "Li Dajian's hand holding the lantern trembled. He didn't expect Wen Renmo to speak so boldly. Qu Yi also stopped, turned around and looked at him silently, "What do you want to say?" Qu Yi said to Wen Renmo for the first time. Mo's tone was a little cold, Wen Renmo didn't care, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me, I'm just worried about you. Today, Your Majesty can lightly expose it for the sake of the Li family. Tomorrow, it's hard to say that you won't be tolerant to the family because of other things. Is this kind of life really what His Majesty wants?" Qu Yi looked at him complicatedly, and said, "I'm not forbearing, I'm just too lazy to care about these trivial matters, and I don't know how to deal with them for a while."

Wen Renmo smiled knowingly, and there was inevitably some sarcasm in his tone, "Your Majesty thinks that the aristocratic family has not touched your bottom line, so you don't care about it? But has your majesty ever thought that people's ambitions are all slow?" Slowly nurtured, His Majesty's letting go time and time again will only make them feel that you are weak and deceitful, and one day it will touch your bottom line, and then what to do, I'm afraid you will have nothing to do." Qu Yi Being guessed by the other party, he inexplicably felt aggrieved while being ashamed and angry. He naturally knew that what the other party said was reasonable, but he also heard the sarcasm in it. It seemed that someone close to him had stabbed him with a knife, which made him feel a little uncomfortable .Qu Yi turned his back to Wen Renmo and said: "I'm tired, I'll go back first, the young man can take care of himself." After speaking, he strode away without even looking at him. Wen Renmo stayed where he was, looking at the His back seemed to be fleeing, the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed.

Qu Yi has ignored Wen Renmo for three full days. Although the two live in the same palace, Qu Yi always avoids each other deliberately. Leaving for Zuo Shang Office, Qu Yi was late for a while, insisting on lying on the bed until Chen Shi before getting up, Wen Renmo came back from Zuo Shang Office at Shen Shi in the afternoon, Qu Yi wandered outside until You Shi, and he didn't know It was dark and he couldn't see anything, and he was still wandering outside, but Wen Renmo didn't seem to sense that Qu Yi was hiding from him, and he went to the left office to sort out the books as usual every day.

As for the people around Qu Yi, they didn't react much. If you really want to say something, you are probably a little speechless. You say that you are an emperor. Avoiding others like a child throwing a tantrum, it seems that he has done something wrong.

After a few days, Qu Yi went to the morning court this day, and the following officials noticed that the emperor was probably in a bad mood today, and his face was dark when he came in the morning.

Qu Yi casually listened to the reports of the officials below. Suddenly, Wei Kun, the minister of the Ministry of War, came out and said: "Your Majesty, it has been three days since the news of the flood in the Fen River, but the relief items from the imperial court have not arrived. It's been a long time, and I'm afraid that the people will discuss it." Qu Yi frowned and said, "Li Shangshu, you should be responsible for this matter, what do you say?" Li Shangshu said: "Reporting to the emperor, as soon as the news came, the old minister immediately Order people to distribute money and supplies." Wei Kun said angrily to Li Muqing: "There are so many people in Fenhe, and Master Shang Shu distributed so many things, I am afraid that they will be embezzled by officials layer by layer before reaching Fenhe. " Li Muqing said eloquently: "The national treasury is empty, and the minister has nothing to do. No matter how many hairs, how can the court maintain the expenses?" Then the two quarreled.

Seeing that the two were arguing, Qu Yi waved his hand suddenly, and the guards brought up a person, but it was Jiang Sheng. When everyone was still a little puzzled, they heard Jiang Sheng knelt down and said: "My lord, please forgive me, these things are all caused by Mr. Li." The slaves were forced to do it, and the property in the palace is all in the Li family." Li Shangshu's eyelids twitched, not knowing which part of the song he was singing from, and seeing the intentional or unintentional glances of the familiar officials around him, he felt furious. I didn't know the person kneeling in the hall at all, so he said to Qu Yi immediately: "Your Majesty, I don't know who this person is, and why do you want to slander the old minister, please look into it." Jiang Sheng stared and said, "Your Majesty, This slave has proof, this is the token Master Li personally handed over to me, so that this slave can find him in a hurry." Jiang Sheng took out a copper-colored token with the sign of "Li Mansion" clearly engraved on it, and Li Shangshu was about to refute , but inadvertently saw the word "Jia" printed on the back of the token, this is Li Hejia's pass order, so this person said that Mr. Li refers to Li Hejia.

Qu Yi said lightly at this moment: "Li Shangshu, I remember that your Li family's badge has a private seal, why don't you find someone to see what is written on this sign?" Li Shang's expression was a little suspicious Uncertainly, he said: "This token seems to belong to my nephew, but he just lost it a few days ago." "Oh, is it such a coincidence?" Dare to look at the countercurrent light in Qu Yi's eyes.

But Qu Yi didn't let him go, "Since Li Shangshu said so, why don't you let Jiang Sheng take the token to find Nephew Ling and see how Nephew Ling reacts?" "No—no need, Your Majesty" Li Shangshu He said in a hurry, but he quickly returned to normal, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, what we are discussing at this moment is such a major event as disaster relief. Why don't we discuss other matters later?" Qu Yi looked at him with deep meaning in his eyes, "Yes Ah, Li Shangshu just said that the national treasury is empty and there is no way to meet the needs of disaster relief, but I think Li Shangshu's nephew is very capable. Come to think of it, he should have an idea on this matter, right?" "Actually, I want to know what Jiang Sheng said is true. It’s not true, but it’s simple, just send someone to search all Mr. Li’s private houses, Li Shangshu, what do you think?” Li Shangshu’s eyelids twitched violently again, and he finally guessed the emperor’s intention this time. Thought, this is to let the Li family pay for the disaster relief hole. If I say I don’t want to, then the emperor will definitely take Li Hejia to the knife in the next second. The emperor can’t move the Li family’s mansion for the time being. But it's still possible to check Li Hejia's private house, the key is that he was hiding this matter, how did he know if there was anything hidden in that kid's private house? If something was really found out, then, alas.

Li Muqing's thoughts went back and forth, and finally said with a sullen face: "Your Majesty, the matter of disaster relief is of great importance, and the old minister is obliged to do so. I will leave this matter to the old minister." Qu Yi smiled lightly, his eyes were full of teasing, "Really, Li Shangshu, don't force it, as you said, disaster relief is very important, if it goes wrong~" Li Muqing had no choice but to say sincerely: "The old minister will handle this matter properly, if there is a mistake, let the emperor handle it." Only then was Qu Yi satisfied, "Okay, since Li Shangshu is so determined, I'll leave this matter to you, but you must never let it go." "Yes" Li Muqing said helplessly, his heart was bleeding, and now he has to get involved How much money, alas.

After solving the two important matters at once, Qu Yi went to court in a good mood. After calculating the time, Wen Renmo should still be in the Zuo Shang Office, so he went to the Zuo Shang Office humming a little song.

In order not to alarm anyone, Qu Yi came alone this time, not even Supervisor Li.

He stood far away, and saw Wen Renmo writing something with a pen through the window, with a concentrated expression, Qu Yi couldn't help but look a little crazy.However, the bright yellow color on his body is too conspicuous, someone still found him, knelt down and shouted: "The emperor is here, long live -- long live long live." His voice trembled a little, Wen Renmo was disturbed by this, Looking up, he saw Qu Yi walking towards him.
