The whole family is in limbo? He went crazy after listening to Zai's voice

Chapter 204 Late Night Conversation
On the other side, Thirteen pointed his sword at the only conscious bandit.

"Tell me, who sent you here?!"

The bandit was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Sir, spare your life. We just heard people say that there will be big fat sheep passing by on this road. We were obsessed with money, so we came to rob them."

Chu You asked sharply: "But what did those who escaped just now say? Who are they?!"

The bandit nodded wildly and pointed in the direction where those people disappeared.

"That's right, they are the ones who instigated our boss. We don't know who the other party is. They only said that they have a grudge against you."

He swallowed nervously, becoming more and more panicked and stumbling over his words.

"He also said that after the matter is completed, the money will belong to us, and your lives will belong to them."

Hearing this, Han Qi sneered, walked over and put his sword on the bandit's neck.

"It seems like I can't ask anything else. It's useless to keep it. Why not..."

The bandit was so frightened that the blood drained from his face, he clasped his hands together and kept begging for mercy.

"No, no, no, please spare my life, hero, I...I remembered!"

Along with this sound, a foul smell came.

Li Wanming held Yaoyao a few steps away in disgust.

"I remembered, when I went to pee before, I vaguely heard the woman talking about Han Jifu."

Hearing this, Chu You's eyes flashed with understanding.

It’s indeed the Han family!
Those few must be from Shangguanzhi!
Li Wanming looked thoughtful.

It seems that the water in Luozhou is quite muddy.

He glanced at the little guy in his arms.

Fortunately he came.

"Your Highness, I have a few things to say. Let's escort you and Yaoyao back to the city first."

"Wait a moment!"

Chu Yaoyao raised her little hand and looked at the man wearing a bamboo hat on his head.

"Jinshu! I have something to say!"

Being recognized, Jinshu simply pulled off the scarf.

"Little princess, what do you want to say?"

Chu Yaoyao waved to him mysteriously, "Come on, come closer."

After Jin Shu walked in, he turned his head slightly.

Chu Yaoyao leaned into his ear and said, "There is a person in the village who can help. Your Highness..."

Jin Shu looked at her in disbelief, "Seriously?!"

"Reliable!"

Chu Yaoyao nodded vigorously and raised her hand to pat his shoulder.

"You don't want to, just follow me and keep an eye on her."

[Protect the witnesses and quickly cause trouble for the male protagonist! 】

Hearing this, Jin Shu respectfully bowed his hands to her.

"Thank you very much Princess Qiyuan for informing me. I will take my leave!"

After tying up the bandits, the group prepared to return to the city.

In the evening, as soon as they returned to the house where they settled, there was a "pinging, banging, banging" sound from the Han family's study.

"Trash, those trash!"

The housekeeper stood aside tremblingly, sweating all over his body.

After a long time, Governor Han sat on the chair, his face was horrifyingly sinister, he gritted his teeth and muttered a sentence.

"Those two scoundrels from the Chu family are really lucky!"

Seeing that he seemed to have calmed down, the housekeeper whispered: "Master, what are your plans next?"

Governor Han raised his eyelids and glanced at him.

"Go and send a message and let them come to see me tonight!"

In the house in the east of the city.

After running around for a long time, Chu Yaoyao was exhausted both physically and mentally. She let Ah Shi carry her down to wash up.

After she left, Li Wanming changed his gentle expression to a serious one.

"Your Highness, did you send a letter to the capital before? Mentioning the cheating incident of Qiu Wei of the Han family?"

Chu You suddenly put the tea cup on the table, "How did you know?"

Li Wanming tilted his head and slowly poured himself a cup of tea.

"Your Highness, don't get me wrong. On the way down, I happened to encounter someone who shot down a carrier pigeon and tried to destroy the letter. After I found out that the person was from Huashan, I snatched the letter back."

After hearing this, Chu You's heart that was suddenly lifted up gradually fell back to its original place.

"That……"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I have sent someone else to deliver that letter to the capital."

Hearing this, Chu You breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was not intercepted, otherwise not only would he have been alerted, but the Han family would also have jumped over the wall.

He solemnly thanked Li Wanming, "Thank you very much."

Li Wanming raised his tea cup and saluted him, "I won't accept this sentence for now. Let's thank you together later."

Chu You was puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Li Wanming shook his head, with a mysterious look on his face and a faint smile.

……

In the imperial palace, in Qionghua Palace, Chu Yaoyao's room.

After reading the letter, Emperor Qixuan was furious, "How brave!"

The imperial concubine on the side sighed slightly in her heart.

No, I really didn't expect that Governor Han was a remnant of the previous dynasty.

"I'm going back to the imperial study first."

After saying that, Emperor Qixuan hurried out and stopped when he reached the door.

"Yaoyao's room, don't let anyone else in for now."

The imperial concubine bent her knees slightly and said, "I understand that I will clean this place myself in the future."

Seeing this, Emperor Qixuan nodded with satisfaction, "Thank you for your hard work, concubine."

Thinking of what happened just now, his expression darkened again.

"I have been busy with government affairs recently. I will let my beloved concubine and the Queen Mother talk about the affairs of the Han family."

After that, he strode down the steps and walked away.

The imperial concubine was left alone by the door. She blinked and pointed at herself in disbelief.

"What do you mean? Let me tell you?!"

She was so angry that she stomped her feet and shook her fist at Emperor Qixuan's back.

The Queen Mother had just changed her mind about her in the past two months. She was actually asked to do such a thankless thing? !
Your Majesty is really...

It's too much!

At night, the imperial study room.

After reading the letter, the prince looked solemn.

The topic of this autumn palace was thought up by Old Master Zhou and the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy, and the affairs of the autumn palace were taken care of by the Ministry of Personnel, which was widely involved.

What's more, the Han family can get the test question range, but what about other families?
Is the person who leaked the test questions only one Qian Baiyin?
How much weight does this ranking on the list hold?

How many people, like that scholar, were forced to lose the opportunity to take the exam...

"What do you think about this matter?"

Hearing this sound, the prince's thoughts returned and he bent down slightly.

"My minister thinks that we should first arrest the official Qian Baiyin and torture him severely to find out how many people he has disclosed the scope of the examination questions to."

"Are there any accomplices?"

"But this matter needs to be done secretly. After all, the second brother and Yaoyao are still in Luozhou. It would be terrible if the Han family jumped over the wall in a hurry."

Hearing this, Emperor Qixuan nodded, "Han Jifu will definitely be dealt with, but in the future, the candidates for the governor of Luozhou..."

As he said that, he raised his eyes and looked at the prince, "Who do you think is qualified for this position in this court?"

The prince thought for a moment and replied cautiously: "Father, do you still remember Xu Guang, editor of the Hanlin Academy?"

Emperor Qixuan frowned slightly and thought for a long time.

"The Xu family? Are you talking about Liang Fei's brother?"

"Yes."

The prince nodded, "Xu Kuang is an upright, honest and talented official. My son and I have chatted with him several times. He is resourceful and a rare talent, not to mention..."

Could the number one pick back then not be outstanding?
The position of editor of the Hanlin Academy is originally a transitional official position, but...

Having said this, he quietly raised his eyes to glance at the person on the throne and coughed lightly.

"My son once heard that when the second brother and the good concubine were in power, Xu Kuang often helped them. But now that the second brother is in power, he has never asked for repayment or made any demands."

"Therefore, I believe that this person's talents, knowledge and character are the best choice."

After hearing this, Emperor Qixuan lowered his eyes and thought for a long time.

In the early years, the prince was in poor health. Even though Chu You was disabled, he never felt completely at ease with the Xu family.

Therefore, except for the eldest son's grandfather, Xu Shengneng, who was a minister in the Ministry of Civil Service, all the other male members of the Xu family were below the seventh rank.

It is precisely because of this matter that Xu Shilang and his wife have not given the second son and his mother a good look for more than ten years.

Over the years, they have indeed been wronged by their mother and son.

If Xu Guang is really what Chu Jun said, there is no harm in promoting him.

Emperor Qixuan pointed to the chair next to him and motioned for him to sit down, with a serious tone.

"Chu You founded a business in Luozhou. If his uncle is appointed as the governor of Luozhou, do you know what this means?"

In a prosperous land, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. With money and power, there is no guarantee that he will not become the next king of Canaan, or the Xiao family!

Chu You, of course he believed it.

But what about the future?
