Zhang Zhen couldn't understand the reason why the spring breeze blows and gives birth again. He spent a lot of trouble and didn't intend to just put it down like this. After thinking about it, he said, "I might have misunderstood it, but the youngest son is timid. Although Zhang is a mediocre A commoner, but also a father, with all due respect, the child was frightened today, I just hope that Madam will not let such a misunderstanding happen again next time."

Others saw that although he was afraid in front of the prince, he still insisted on the bottom line, and they looked up to him in their hearts. At the same time, everyone knew in their hearts what the truth of the matter was, so they respectfully waited for Madam Hou's current aggressive attitude. You can see what's going on.

Naturally, Xu Wen didn't want to tolerate the words of someone who was a lowly person in her eyes, and was even quite annoyed at his warning. The anger that had been relieved suddenly came up again: "I am obedient to the mansion, even if it doesn't work now. , It’s not something you, a boorish man in the market, can say, you have to know that in this capital, you can only control your head if you control your own mouth!” After speaking, he stepped forward and left without waiting for others to speak.

But Xue Yinchang blocked the door, with a bad face and said: "I didn't know that Gong Shunhou's mansion is so domineering now, Madam's tone seems to be reckless or what?"

Xu Wen didn't know Xue Yinchang, and she didn't see him among the princes and ministers at the royal banquet last year, so she didn't take him to heart. She always looked down on him: "Bold, you Is this trying to slander Mrs. Ben?"

After saying this, Xu Wen suddenly felt that she was in a much better mood. She looked at the people around her carefully, only to realize that she had just made a mistake, and now that she took a closer look, she realized that there were not many honorable people around. , although the Hou Mansion has fallen, but at any rate, they have received the favor of the emperor. Naturally, Xu Wen is not afraid of this group of people.

Thinking of this, Xu Wen's body became straighter and straighter. Even if she really bullied others, who would offend Gongshunhou Mansion and Shilang Mansion for a stranger?She was too flustered just now, so she almost lost the prestige of being obedient to his wife.

Xu Wen thinks she has found her way back, but other people look at her with gloating eyes. She can't even recognize the famous people in front of the emperor. There is a reason why the Gong Shun Hou Mansion has not fallen until now, and it's okay if she is not popular today. Now, the news is still so lagging, who will fall if you don’t fall?

Speaking of this group of people, as Xu Wen thought, there are not many officials with high official positions. Either the juniors of your family were curious to watch the excitement when they heard the voice, or some small officials saw Xue Yinchang coming and wanted to make friends , the real status people naturally all sit in the boxes or downstairs, and only the servants need to find out what's going on.

Of course Xu Wen didn't know about this, she just thought that the delicious shop was nothing more than that, she was proud of herself, bypassed Xue Yinchang and left the shop, thinking that Xu Zijia made herself ugly today, and she would never spare them in the future!

Xue Yinchang didn't stop him this time. Seeing that so many people had seen or knew what happened today, he had a charter in his heart. Today's goal was achieved. After everyone else left, he said to Zhang Zhen: "Brother Zhang, don't worry, I will definitely solve this matter properly."

The two are friends, and Zhang Zhen is naturally not polite to him anymore. He has already told the other party what is going to happen today. Hearing this, he apologized: "It's just that, so I have to trouble Brother Xue."

"Don't say that. You and I are friends. Besides, she wanted to plot against Brother Xu first. Naturally, I can't let such a thing happen. If I talk about troubles, I won't let it go." He really regarded Zhang Zhen as a friend, and the other party was a man Not only is he warm-hearted, but he appreciates the kindness and enmity that he has now.

Xue Yinchang didn't stay for too long. He still had follow-up things to do. After leaving the door, he turned to the door of another box. After knocking on the door to make sure to enter, the people inside immediately greeted him with a smile.

In the second hall, Gong Shunhou was involved in a fortune by Yu Shicheng, saying that he was suspected of buying and selling officials, and that Mrs. Gong Shunhou openly oppressed the people, uttered evil words, and even had the idea of ​​ignoring human life.

As soon as this remark came out, Xue Yinchang immediately seconded the proposal, and many other courtiers present said that they had heard about it personally or indirectly. Although Gong Shunhou is not a big official, but because of the meritorious deeds of his ancestors, he can still be in the court. Hearing this , almost blacked out, and was about to faint.

However, it is impossible to simply faint. With so many people watching, even if Gong Shunhou feels that he has no face on weekdays, he must maintain his last bit of courage at this time. No matter what he says, he cannot faint in public. What's more, if you really faint, isn't it just a fear of sin in the eyes of others?

So, as soon as the emperor's question came out, he immediately knelt down respectfully, sweating profusely and said: "I am wronged, although I don't know why Master Liu would say this, but I have been honest since childhood, and I will definitely not do it." If such a thing happens, please the emperor to investigate clearly!"

Seeing him frightened like this, the emperor believed his words instead, and he was more cowardly than courageous. Although he had heard of some absurd things he had done, he could be regarded as a playboy in the early years, but in recent years because of the There are difficulties, so I restrain myself a lot. I guess I don't have the guts to openly oppress the people.

Xue Yinchang came out and said: "Although there is little definite evidence for the matter of buying and selling officials and titles, many people saw Mrs. Gong Shunhou bullying others yesterday. Although Mrs. Gong Shunhou pushed the matter of selling officials to a slave, But Wei Chen believes that this matter needs to be investigated carefully!"

"Is there such a thing?" The emperor has only been on the throne for a few years, and he is still young, but his majesty is no less than that of the previous emperor.

Gong Shunhou immediately kowtowed and said: "I really don't know about this matter. If my wife really does such a thing, I will definitely not tolerate it. I also ask the emperor to allow me to investigate first and prove my innocence!"

"Your majesty, I have my own report!" Before the emperor gave the order, Master Liu, the censor, stood up again, "As a speech officer, although I pay attention to listening to the wind, I also need to pay attention to evidence. I found out that the Gongshunhou mansion did indeed buy and sell officials, although they were all small officials like yamen servants, but it lasted for several years, so bold, I ask the emperor to look into it!"

Seeing that he spoke so carefully, he must have grasped the evidence, and dared not argue anymore. In his heart, he scolded Xu Wen for everything. It was all that woman who exposed her good deeds. Shouted: "Your Majesty, I was just confused for a moment. Bewitched by that temptress, I knew my mistake, and I knew my mistake, Your Majesty! I also ask the emperor to forgive me this time, and I will definitely make up for it!"

Xu Qilian, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, didn't want to talk at first, even though Gong Shunhou was his son-in-law in name, but now he heard that Gong Shunhou wanted to pour dirty water on his daughter, and he might be implicated later, so he had no choice but to say: " Gong Shunhou, the little girl is just a girl, although she is not well-educated, gentle and virtuous, but she has worked hard for Gong Shunhou's mansion for several years, it is really chilling for Gong Shunhou to put all the responsibility on the little girl now!"

Naturally, Gong Shunhou couldn't bear all the blame, so he quarreled with Xu Qilian alone.

The emperor looked at the farce under the court, and ordered: "Respectfully wait for the temporary prison, Liu Qingyang and Xue Yinchang will investigate the matter together, and after a thorough investigation, they will be punished according to the crime!"

Gong Shunhou sat paralyzed on the ground, knowing that everything had been settled. In fact, this matter was not considered a big deal. Some prison guards were nothing more than a serious act of betraying an official. But because of this incident, it was stabbed in front of the emperor. Ordinarily, although the final crime may not be serious, what good future can an official who has been completely rejected by the emperor have in the future?

Xu Qilian breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately this incident did not involve his family, but thinking that the emperor did not give him a good face just now, his heart tightened again.Alas, I blame myself for being indecisive at the beginning, but now that I am in this situation, I don't know if Gong Shunhou will say anything more outrageous in the prison, thinking of this, I hurriedly arranged for someone to inquire about the news.

When Zhang Zhen heard Liu Yufeng talk about this matter, he was quietly relieved. In fact, he only found out about Xu Wen's secret selling of officials a few days ago. After deliberate searching, he quickly found clues. It was an unexpected gain to think that Xu Wen actually wanted to sell her official position to herself, and being heard by so many people. Everyone heard it with their own ears. Although Xu Wen pushed it to the servants, it was full of loopholes.

First, he intentionally prevented Xu Wen from finding him to arouse the other party's anger, and then tactfully provoked him, and then lured the other party to say some threatening words so that everyone could hear him. Xue Yinchang came forward to impeach him, and the development of the matter did not disappoint him. Now it seems to be a relatively satisfactory result.

In fact, Zhang Zhen didn't intend to deal with Xu Wen at all at first, and he wasn't even interested in getting to know her. Even if it was Xu Qilian, he knew his current identity, and the little wife didn't plan to have anything to do with him, so he didn't even think about it. What to do with the other party.

But since the other party came to the door on his own initiative, and his attitude was still so unfriendly, Zhang Zhen was not the kind of person who would lightly expose or swallow his anger. He would not take the initiative to cause trouble, but if someone caused trouble, he would definitely accompany him.

Xu Zijia poured two glasses of the newly brewed wine, Zhang Zhen took a sip, and immediately began to boast: "It's delicious, kid, I want another glass, can I?" , looking forward to it.

These were originally prepared for him. Xu Zijia nodded of course, but he still saw the other party holding a glass, so he realized that he poured a glass from his wine glass. Zhang Zhen was satisfied and sighed: "It's better to drink like this." .”

Not counting the teasing, Xu Zijia still blushed, and Zhang Zhen was moved by the sight. When the little daughter-in-law poured a glass of wine for herself, she directly held the other's hand, held it in the palm, and felt the temperature in each other's palms. It's the one he loves, and he should take good care of him!
