It is impossible to punish adults

Chapter 593
"Hahahaha! That's natural!" The old county king laughed heartily when he heard this, and answered happily, "My son is able to get married with a smart woman like Yun'er, which is the blessing of the county king's mansion. Come! Have a drink!"

Xie Chongguang also laughed, even claiming that it was okay, Wu Zhiqiu didn't make a sound, and his face was still indistinguishable.

"Speaking of which, I heard that Mr. Wu's recent proud disciple, Jiang Yuanwailang, has some relationship with Mu Tuiguan?" After Xie Chongguang smiled, his eyes fell on Jiang Jin who was standing beside him, as if he suddenly thought of it. What, he asked.

As the only person standing in the entire living room, Jiang Jin was already very restrained and embarrassed. He never thought that he would be suddenly asked this question. He couldn't help but look embarrassed, but Sir Xie asked, he He didn't dare not to answer, so he nodded and replied, "Mr. Xie said that I and Mu Tuiguan were classmates, and we were colleagues for a while when we worked in Jiangzhou Mansion."

Mu Liuyun sat on the opposite side and saw clearly that Jiang Jin was now feeling uncomfortable from the hair to the toes, but Xie Chongguang didn't notice his discomfort and asked himself. Said: "I just don't know that Jiang Yuanwailang and Mu Tui Guan have known each other for so many years. Did you know that Mu Tui Guan Jing was a woman in the past?"

Jiang Jin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I'm so blunt, I really didn't realize it. After learning about this, I was surprised."

Xie Chongguang said with a smile: "That's a pity! Jiang Yuanwailang is also born with outstanding talents, and he is full of experience, and has read books on sages. If he had found out that Mutuiguan was a girl, it might be a good story, but in the final analysis, it is still my sage. The nephew has a vicious eye, and the latecomers come first, this is probably not fate!"

Jiang Jin's face was a little ugly, but he still responded with a smile: "The prince is very courageous and can bear this blessing! After all, people in this world who can stand the autopsy of their mother are by no means ordinary people, and they feel ashamed of their humble jobs. I don't have that kind of courage."

Xie Chongguang laughed, but he didn't say anything, but Yuan Mu and Jiang Jin's faces seemed to be a little gloomy and unhappy. Jiang Jin stood behind Wu Zhiqiu with his eyes lowered, and Yuan Mu didn't even look at him. , both of them have a kind of meaning of turning a blind eye to the other.

When Wu Zhiqiu was seen by Mu Liuyun several times, he always looked unsmiling, and this time was no exception.He was not interested in Xie Chongguang's everyday words, but asked Yuan Mu earnestly, "I don't know if the prince is going to Beijing to report his duties, but what important things are in the Gyeonggi Road area that need to be reported to His Majesty in person?"

The Duke of Zhongyong didn't seem to expect Master Wu to ask such a direct question, and subconsciously looked at Yuan Mu.

Yuan Mu didn't have any special reaction, and nodded: "Indeed, recently, I found traces of barbarian activities in the Gyeonggi Road area. This is a big matter, and I dare not make decisions without authorization, so I went to Beijing to report on my duties. ."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Wu Zhiqiu's tone was light, as if he didn't particularly believe it.

"More than that." Yuan Mu looked at him and added, "In addition to the signs of the activities of the barbarians, I also found that in recent years, there have been problems with the appointment and removal of officials in various places, and many talented people have been arrested for no reason. Transferred away, the incompetent and faint-hearted people are entrenched in various places, acting as a blessing and a disaster.

I have seen it with my own eyes. Taking Jiangzhou as an example, the prefect of Jiangzhou, Mr. Yang, has eaten vegetarian meals for many years. He has taken the credits of his subordinates for his own, deceived the superior and the inferior, and suppressed his colleagues. extremely bad.

Not to mention that in the area of ​​Yanzhou, except for the tyrants like Wu Rongzhi, that can be regarded as what Mr. Wu has seen with his own eyes, so I don't need to go into details. "

Wu Zhiqiu listened to Yuan Mu's undisguised words, his face gradually became gloomy, the tea cup in his hand slammed heavily on the small table beside him, and said coldly, "That's why the prince came to the capital this time, because he came to the sage on purpose. Do you have a copy of this official book in front of you?"

"Master Wu has been thinking too much." Yuan Mu's response was also somewhat suggestive, "Master Wu is a high-ranking person, living in the capital for a long time, and occasionally going to the capital to take exams. The underground people want to deceive you. It's not a difficult thing, if you don't notice it for a while, it's reasonable, and it's not a fault.

I'm just afraid that these signs are not unique. If someone deliberately forms a party, communicates with the barbarians in private, or colludes with other forces to disguise themselves as barbarians, colluding internally and externally, and intends to rebel, that is a major event.

I am also responsible. I must remind the emperor, be careful, and take timely action. "

If it was said that when we met before, Wu Zhiqiu had some yin and yang anger towards Yuan Mu, but Yuan Mu himself was very restrained and open-minded.

When he said this, Wu Zhiqiu's face became even more unbearable, and his face was gloomy and full of anger: "The prince is loyal to His Majesty! It's just that such a report can easily hurt the hearts of all the old ministers.

Just like Duke Zhongyong's family has always been loyal to the emperor, but it was reported that he suspected that Duke Zhongyong and the prince were connected to foreign countries, so I believe the prince would be heartbroken!These are all humiliating words, so you can't talk nonsense! "

Yuan Mu sneered: "Master Wu is threatening me? Just as Master Wu said, from father to son, the Duke of Zhongyong has always been loyal to the former emperor and the current sage, and has never had the slightest second heart. Heaven and earth can be seen!
Even if it is said that the sky is gone, I am afraid that no one will believe that our father and son will be unfaithful, let alone today's holy!This is called the body is not afraid of shadows slanting.

If someone made such a false accusation, it would only be laughable. How could my father and I feel chilled because of such nonsense? ! "

"Hehe, I hope it's as the prince said!" Wu Zhiqiu got up with a sneer, ignored Yuan Mu, and threw his hands at Yuan Huai, the old county king, "Wu still has important things to do, so if it's inconvenient, I'll stay here. I'm bothering you today! !"

After saying that, he gestured to Jiang Jin, then walked away with a look of anger, obviously because Yuan Mu was very angry.

Jiang Jin also had a sullen face, followed Wu Zhiqiu's footsteps and left without turning his head.

"Look at what's going on..." The old county king seemed to be at a loss, sighed, and said to Yuan Mu, "You bastard! Why can't you talk to people properly! Mr. Wu can't stand this injustice!"

"It's okay, Master Wu is not such a narrow-minded person!" Xie Chongguang comforted, "My nephew has been loyal in recent years, and he has done many meritorious deeds. The sage is naturally clear in his heart, where is he likely to listen to other people's slander.

I just talked about it in a hurry, don't take it to heart. "
