Hexi

When I came out, the servants just happened to bring the food.Su Kuo pointed to the courtyard of Su Yan next door and said, "Go to the second uncle's house and eat."

The uncle and nephew went to the next door, the food was arranged, and they sat at opposite ends of the table to eat.

Su Yan was purely accompanying the guests and offered two dishes.Then he asked, "Is there any problem? When will it be finished? I think she's only been doing it for about half a month."

"It's quick to build. I still have ready-made castings. It will take up to three days. At that time, you can think of a way to pay the Hu family to the yard. I have half a day to assemble it."

Su Yan was relieved. "It's just keeping her words from her all the time. If she is really in a hurry, how can she notify others?"

Su Luo glanced at him: "No matter how anxious she is, if you teach her to pull the curtain, she will always be able to do it, right? I put the mechanism's trigger in the tent hook, and she will activate it as soon as she pulls it."

"That's daring!"

Su Yan was completely relieved. "When you finish building it, I'll take him for a walk in the back garden for half a day, and then I'll ask a few long followers around me to help you."

Su Luo didn't object.

After taking a few mouthfuls of food, she slowed down and said, "Did the second uncle think that the second uncle and aunt's marriage was voluntary or forced?"

"Is there a need to ask?" Su Yan glanced at her, "If she is willing to marry, can she still treat me like this?"

"But I just asked people from the Huang family, and according to reliable sources, the marriage was requested by my second aunt."

"How is it possible?" Hearing these words, Su Yan resisted all over his body. "Who did you listen to? This is absolutely impossible!"

Su Luo didn't argue with him either.She lowered her head to take a few mouthfuls of rice, then raised her head again: "I have to tell Second Uncle one more time that no one, including Aunt Hu, should know about the installation of the machine in Aunt Hu's courtyard, otherwise what will happen to Second Uncle in the future?" Things asked me to do, I will never agree."

"Don't worry, your second uncle still knows how to behave." After he finished speaking, he hissed again, looked at her and said, "Actually, that's what I said, but I have some doubts about this matter. Son, wouldn't it be better to tell Mrs. Hu?"

Su Wei put down the bowl and chopsticks, and looked at him deeply: "Second Uncle, do you want the baby to be born safely?"

"Of course I do!"

"Just do what I say."

Su Yan gritted his teeth, nodded and said, "Okay, listen to you!"

With his assurance, Su Luo also stood up and said goodbye.

The more things are under the eyebrows, the more Su Luo can hold her breath.If the statements of the two sides do not match, it means that there is still something to be investigated.

……

Because of the new progress in the case of Chang Wei, Elder Jin Ge submitted his letter of appointment again, and the court put the case on hold for the time being, and seriously discussed the matter of taking over as the chief assistant.

After several months of ups and downs, three of the five elders withdrew from the competition, and the remaining Zhang Yun and Wang Qing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, were the most vocal.

Wang Qing won word of mouth for his successful control of the floods in the Two Rivers, and Zhang Yun was precisely because of the smooth implementation of the three tricks in the disaster relief, which made the relief money available and appeased the hearts of the people. The records for his cousin in the local area were piled up one after another, and they were almost full of imperial cases.

Both of them are ministers of the DPRK and China, and it is really hard to distinguish them from each other.

"I heard that all the gambling halls on the street have started gambling, and the bets on the two elders are all jealous."

In the imperial garden in the afternoon, the emperor was convening the cabinet to discuss matters.The weather was hot, but the emperor seemed to be in a good mood, his folding fan was shaking slightly, and his eyes slowly passed over the faces of the elders.

"You don't have to be nervous. There is a battle for the position of chief assistant. This is my great fortune. It shows that the court is full of talented people. But I still want to remind you dear ones, to occupy their positions, seek their positions, and to serve the country is to serve as ministers." Duty, promotion is still second. In addition to meritorious service, more emphasis is on a word of virtue. No matter who is in the position of chief assistant, you should follow the example of Mr. Jin Ge, and be diligent and thrifty to serve the public. "

"I would like to follow the instructions of the Holy One."

All the ministers bowed down and kowtowed.

The emperor told them that they were dead, and ordered people to serve tea to everyone, and said: "Today, I invite you to enter the palace, and there is one more thing that was discovered during the investigation of Chang Wei's case."

Chang Wei is the Minister of the Ministry of War, and Liu Cong, Minister of the Ministry of War, is already old. In recent years, he has spent more time recuperating from illness and less time in the yamen.But once Chang Wei's case came out, he, as Minister of the Ministry of War, has been very busy recently.

So he was the first to speak out: "Dare to ask the emperor, is there someone else involved with Chang Wei?"

"Jiang is still old and hot, Liu Aiqing can tell immediately." The emperor's voice turned deep, "The people and things involved behind Chang Wei are beyond your imagination. A few days ago, the absconded prisoner Chang He Returning to Changfu at night, intending to rescue his mother and younger siblings.

"When Han Mo, the son of Duke Zhen Guo, arrested Chang He, he was rescued by his accomplices who came suddenly. Chang He was still in the capital after fleeing for several days, and there were also rescuers who came to rescue him. Known partisan."

Naturally, everyone in the city had already heard about it, but it was the first time that the emperor had put this topic in front of him so directly.Because the whole case has been handed over to Zhen Guogong and Su Shou to jointly investigate and deal with it. The two of them reported it directly to the emperor, and not so much information was revealed.

Liu Cong looked at his colleagues beside him, and looked at each other in blank dismay.Only Wang Qing and Zhang Yun looked at each other, and looked at the tea in front of them carefully.

"Throughout the ages, there have been many treacherous ministers with evil intentions, all of whom held great power in the court. Although Chang Wei is in a high position, it is not easy to lay out such a big game of chess with one hand."

It was Dou Yong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments who spoke.

As Chang Wei's boss, Liu Cong was very uncomfortable: "I still don't understand, when exactly did Chang Wei raise those dead men behind Chang Wei? When did he save money to support them? I want to think about it." Go, this process will definitely not be short!"

"Who says it's not?" The emperor's voice was flat and long, "It's just a military servant, and he created such a big show for himself in private. The key is, before the incident happened, I didn't even know about it. And All the lovers present here also don't know!"

A group of cabinet ministers all lowered their heads.

Tang Jin, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, stood up after a long silence in the hall, lifted his robe and knelt down and said: "I am responsible for negligence, please forgive me!"

Following his appearance, Liu Cong also knelt tremblingly: "The old minister is guilty, and I would like to resign and sue the old man to apologize!"

The rest of the people couldn't sit still anymore, Wang Qing stood up: "When Mr. Jin Ge is retiring, you actually want to resign. Could this be blatantly threatening the emperor?!"

"I am the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and I am responsible for supervising officials. If I don't take the blame now, is it normal to ask the emperor for credit? Why is the elder Wang Ge so excited? Is it possible that when I resign, I will also form a negative attitude towards the elder Ge?" What pressure can't do it?" Tang Jin straightened his waist and responded with awe.
