After drinking a few glasses of wine, Longkodo approached the fourth master and said, "I heard that Mr. Long live has recently arranged an errand for you in the Ministry of Finance?"

The Fourth Master's eyes darkened, his expression turned cold, he looked steadily at Longkodo, and responded lightly: "Yes."

Longkoduo's eyes looked at the fourth master with a smile for a moment, and he said very calmly: "Is the household department busy recently?"

Fourth Master raised his eyebrows and responded quietly: "Yeah, it's not bad."

Longkodo looked at the fourth master with a pair of smiling eyes, the eyes were dark and gloomy, then he leaned closer and said: "I heard that the long live master will go south in a while, and then the household department was found to have insufficient money?"

The fourth master's eyes dimmed, he raised his eyes and looked at Longkodo, and said with a flash of confusion: "There is such a thing, but we are still investigating."

"Haha." Long Keduo smiled again with his eyes and said bluntly: "Long Live the last time I cut the vassalage, I made such a big fuss. When I fought with Wu Sangui, I spent a lot of military expenditures, but I heard that there were also greedy people among them. There are quite a few, why don’t Fourth Brother go there and check?”

Fourth Master's dark color darkened, and after a few seconds of silence, he responded quietly: "Well...Thank you, uncle."

"In addition, the relationship between Long Live Lord and the Crown Prince has become increasingly tense during this period. During this time, Lord Long Live often criticizes the Crown Prince in court. Do you know this?" Longkodo looked around with a pair of smiling eyes. Master, he spoke word by word.

When the Fourth Master heard this, his whole body darkened, then darkened, and a chill flashed through his heart.

He knew very well that Longkodo was testing him. After all, Longkodo was from Huang Ama, and he himself had always had a good relationship with the prince, and had been relatively close to him some time ago. The outside world had always said that " "Princeling", but now that the relationship between the prince and Huang Ama is so stiff and stalemate, Huang Ama can't help but be suspicious, and even more suspicious.

Then the Fourth Master paused in his heart and looked at Longkodo with fixed eyes: "I don't know about this. I haven't had any contact with the prince during this period. There are many things in the house, so I didn't go to the prince like this." .”

"Oh? Really?" Long Keduo stared at the fourth master with his eyes, not drifting away for a moment.

And the fourth master looked steadily at Longkodo with his eyes, without any evasion or concealment.

The two people looked at each other steadily for a while, and then looked at each other.

"Hahaha!"

Suddenly, Longkodo burst out laughing, looking at the fourth master with smiling eyes, and said word by word: "Okay, okay, uncle believes in you. Since you don't know, I can't force you too much." .”

The fourth master sat there and looked at him without saying a word, then picked up his wine glass and took a sip of wine.

"Okay, okay." Longkodo said with a smile again, then picked up the wine bottle in his hand and filled Fourth Master's wine glass with wine and said: "Come on, come on, come on, uncle will fill it up for you. Since you are here, let's Have a good meal, there is no need to waste such a table of good wine and food."

Longkodo immediately filled the fourth master's glass with wine, and then brought the fourth master some vegetables.

The two of them sat in the restaurant and drank until midnight, and then the Fourth Master returned to Sibeile Mansion smelling of alcohol.

The carriage jingled on the road.

As they drove leisurely on the road, the driver kept his eyes fixed on the front, always paying attention to his surroundings, for fear that something unexpected would happen.

In the carriage, the Fourth Master, who just smelled of alcohol just now, was sitting in the carriage and immediately regained his clarity. A pair of deep eyes looked forward deeply, flashing through the darkness.

Thoughts flashed through his mind.

Nowadays, the relationship between the emperor and the prince is very tense. The court is divided into two parties: the emperor and the prince. There are secret turbulences between the elder brothers, and the situation is changing dramatically.

Last time something happened in the Mingzhu Mansion, the Eighth Prince took the lead and became the "outstanding bird". Then during this period, he began to be favored by Huang Ama, and he handed over everything to him from time to time. Even the Ministry of War He has to do all the work as his eighth elder brother.And he also heard that the eighth prince has been very active in the house recently.

The fourth master was shocked, and a thought flashed across his mind. It seemed that the eighth man was going to become famous.

For a moment, complex and confused emotions emerged in his eyes.

Suddenly, he breathed out slowly and sighed: "That's all, there is no need to run to Chaozhong during this period, just take a good rest in the mansion."

After thinking for a while, he closed his eyes again and lay there to rest.

The carriage moved forward, and after a while, it returned to his mansion.

Just as the carriage stopped at Sibeile Mansion, the fourth master got out of the carriage and walked up the steps towards the mansion.

At this moment.

Su Peisheng came out immediately with a lantern, walked respectfully in front of the fourth master, and then helped him walk inside.

"Master, you are back." Su Peisheng said with an apologetic smile.

"Well, I drank a lot." Fourth Master responded quietly as he walked.

"Do you want to take a rest? I'll have someone prepare a sobering soup for you." Su Peisheng came over and said with a smile.

"No need, I'm still quite sober." Fourth Master waved his hand and said, "By the way, how is the investigation going that I asked you to investigate?"

Su Peisheng paused for a moment, raised his head and looked into Fourth Master's sober eyes, hesitantly said: "Back, back to Fourth Master, we've found it out, that's it."

"What is it?" Fourth Master turned his head and looked at Su Peisheng, his eyes were very deep.

"It's just that the situation is a bit serious." Su Peisheng stood aside and responded with his head lowered.

"How serious is this?" Fourth Master responded coldly: "If you tell the truth, I won't blame you."

"This, this, yes." Looking at the sharp eyes of the fourth master, Su Peisheng immediately said truthfully in fear: "My guess is correct. The incident where the second elder brother was almost killed last time was indeed related to the direct descendant Fujin, and the direct descendant Fujin Still the mastermind.”

There was a trace of stasis in the air, as if you could hear a needle drop.

"Ha ha!"

The fourth master sneered, and the voice was very sarcastic and mocking. He looked cold and indifferent, and looked forward with his eyes dimming and brightening, and said in a deep and deep voice: "This woman has become more and more attractive to me in recent years. I can’t understand it. He was so dignified and virtuous now, but now he only looks full of calculations. It’s really disgusting.”

Su Peisheng stood aside and did not dare to raise his head to look at the fourth master. He seemed silent and very nervous and reserved.

"First it was the eldest brother Honghui, and then the second brother. Fujin and Li really went to great lengths in their so-called struggle for power."
