Beautiful mayor's wife

"Your father-in-law? Which father-in-law?" Concubine Hua can't be blamed for asking too much. The main reason is that Marquis Xuanwu has too many wives, which leads to too many father-in-laws. For a while, Concubine Hua really didn't know who the father-in-law Xuanwuhou was referring to.

"..." The corner of Xuanwuhou's mouth twitched: "It's Guan Yi..."

"Guan Yi." Concubine Hua was stunned: "What trouble did he get into?" In Concubine Hua's impression, Guan Yi is a mature and stable person, he is also very principled in his work, and he is capable, so logically speaking, he should not cause trouble ah?Let me add one more thing here, among the many father-in-laws in Marquis Xuanwu, Guan Yi is the only one who can make Concubine Hua look up to her. In her eyes, the others are just a bunch of waste who are waiting to die.

"Guan Yi embezzled more than 100 million taels of military expenses. Oh, no, to be precise, his son Guan Qilin embezzled military expenses. Guan Yi took the initiative to take the blame in order to save his son."

"What? More than 100 million taels of silver? Guan Yi's son is too courageous!"

"Yeah, that kid is bold and reckless. This is a bit like me, but he is young after all. He is young and ignorant, and it is understandable to make mistakes. In fact, that kid Guan Qilin is not bad, he is quite filial."

"Just speak up for them."

"I'm telling the truth. Guan Qilin's kid is pretty good, and my old father-in-law is also pretty good... They are in trouble now. As a son-in-law, I should come forward and help."

"How is Guan Yi doing now?"

"He was arrested by the new chief soldier of Baihu Banner. As for his family... I don't know. The situation must not be optimistic."

"Have you visited the emperor?"

Xuanwuhou nodded: "I've searched for it, but it didn't work. In the end, I was scolded by the emperor. I really have no choice but to beg you."

"You will create problems for me." Concubine Hua gave Xuanwuhou a look, "Guan Yi caused too much trouble this time, and there is nothing I can do."

"Don't." Seeing that Concubine Hua didn't want to take care of her, Xuan Wuhou immediately became anxious: "Sister, you must take care of it no matter what. If Guan Yi can't be rescued, my little concubine will definitely seek death..."

"You're a big man, you can't even discipline a woman, I'm really ashamed of you." Hua Guifei said angrily.

Xuanwu Hou blushed: "The main reason is that I am too soft-hearted...Sister, I know you are resourceful, and there is definitely a way to save Guan Yi, or...you go to the emperor to intercede, I know the emperor listens to you most It's..."

"If I go to the emperor to intercede, the emperor will definitely be angry, and maybe he will ignore me in the future." Concubine Hua snorted.

"It's not that serious, is it? Isn't it just a trivial matter..." Xuanwuhou said casually.

"A trivial matter?" Concubine Hua Gui was amused: "A small commander-in-chief has been greedy for more than 100 million taels of military expenses. Can this be a trivial matter?"

"At worst, I'll pay back the money." Xuanwuhou said.

"You really aren't afraid of death!" Concubine Hua cursed bitterly, "You are indeed a Marquis, but how much is your salary for a year? Even if you don't eat or drink for a lifetime, you can't earn it 100 million taels of silver, if you take out 100 million taels of silver to help close a hole, it will probably take less than a day, and your papers will be piled up on the emperor's table. Due to the excitement of the crowd, the emperor will definitely order a thorough investigation You, then you will be finished."

"Sister, don't scare me...I'm timid." Xuanwuhou's face turned pale instantly.

"Do you think I look like I'm scaring you?" Concubine Hua softened her tone, "Brother, I know you want to help Guan Yi, but you have to be careful, and don't let yourself get involved in the end." , Concubine Hua added: "The relationship between you and Guan Yi is not a secret at all. Many people must know it. Now that Guan Yi has committed a crime and was arrested, there will definitely be many eyes staring at him in the dark. If you make it public Once you are convicted, people hiding in the dark will definitely jump out and attack you, and then you will be in a difficult situation, at least you won’t be able to remove one hat of perverting the law for personal gain, and you may even lose your title in the end.” As expected of a shrewd person who overwhelmed the empress, this kind of brains is not comparable to that of ordinary women.

"Then what should we do? Just let Guan Yi be beheaded? Don't care about it?" Xuanwuhou asked without confidence.

"There must be control." Hua Guifei said in a deep voice: "If you don't care, others will say that you are cold-blooded and ruthless, and it will be a big blow to your reputation. Besides, your little concubine will not forgive you Yes, when the time comes, you can just wait for the restlessness."

"I can't control it, I can't care about it, what the hell is going to happen." Xuanwu Hou was very depressed.

Concubine Hua pondered for a moment: "As I said just now, you must take care of it, but you must be careful not to get involved too deeply. The main thing is to put on a show so that others can't find fault with you."

"So... Guan Yi is definitely going to be beheaded?"

"It's still a bit arbitrary to draw conclusions now. It mainly depends on the attitude of the emperor. If he insists on killing Guan Yi, the gods will not be able to save him. If the emperor opens the Internet, then Guan Yi will be able to save his life."

"Then what are you waiting for? Sister, hurry up and beg the emperor. I don't expect the emperor to let Guan Yi go now. I only hope that the emperor will not kill Guan Yi."

"As I said just now, if I go to the emperor to intercede, he will definitely be unhappy. The case of Guan Yi has a profound impact, and if it is not handled properly, it may cause turmoil. In fact, the emperor is also very difficult. On the one hand, he wants Caring about your feelings, on the one hand, you need to stabilize the hearts of the people, and you must always be on guard against the calculations of Prince Long and others... The emperor is already in a difficult situation, and I definitely can't add trouble to him." Concubine Hua said slowly.

"But..." Marquis Xuanwu was about to speak when he was interrupted by Concubine Hua.

"If you come to find me, the emperor will definitely know. He is probably waiting for me, right? If I go to him, he will be very disappointed in me. If I don't go, the emperor will be very pleased. The deeper I behave Ming Dayi, the more the emperor loves me, the more stable my position in the harem, compared to the emperor's favor, other things can be ignored." Concubine Hua analyzed clearly: "Actually, if I don't intercede, the emperor will There must be a trace of guilt, after all, Guan Yi is our relative, and the emperor might be able to spare Guan Yi's life when the time comes."

"Sister...my IQ is not as good as yours, and my understanding of the emperor is not as good as yours. Tell me what to do, and I will listen to you." Xuanwuhou said with a wry smile.

"You only need to do four words at the moment: wait and see what happens!" Hua Guifei said word by word: "Guan Yi is definitely not going to be rescued, but you can keep his family, and not only get Guan Yi, but also his family." Thanks to your gratitude, you can also get a reputation for loving relatives and friends, and besides, you can also have an explanation with your little concubine."

Xuanwuhou nodded: "Okay, I will follow your orders."

"Brother, the matter of Guan Yi is a reminder to you. You have to restrain those relatives more, and don't let them do anything reckless. Once a catastrophe occurs, it will implicate you, at least it will make your family restless." Concubine Hua said earnestly. Said.

"I see, I will warn them later." Xuan Wuhou nodded in response.

"Okay, don't be so sad, isn't it just a father-in-law? If it's gone, it's gone, what's the big deal." Concubine Hua patted Xuanwuhou's shoulder: "Come on, follow me to the back garden for a walk."

Marquis Xuanwu obediently followed Concubine Hua towards the back garden.

……

The Ministry of Punishment must attach great importance to the case approved by the emperor. That morning, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment held a meeting. Almost all the officials of the Ministry of Punishment attended. After discussing for a long time, it was finally decided that a servant named Li Kaifa would lead the team to Baihu Flag barracks to verify the situation.

Li Kaifa's servant led a group of people to the Baihuqi military camp that afternoon.

At the same time, Ma Xiaoyao also got the news, he let out a sigh of relief: "As expected, I guessed correctly, Jin Tianwei will definitely deal with Guan Yi seriously in order to stabilize the morale of the army." As soon as the criminal investigation team was dispatched, Ma Xiaoyao understood Jin Tianwei's intentions. The meaning is to thoroughly investigate to the end and never tolerate it. If Jin Tianwei wants to cover up, he will not send the criminal department to verify the situation, but directly let Ma Xiaoyao secretly release Guan Yi, and then claim to the public that the investigation is wrong. It's innocent, this situation is what Ma Xiaoyao was most worried about happening, but luckily it didn't happen in the end.

After the criminal investigation team came to the Baihuqi barracks, Ma Xiaoyao gave a grand welcome, especially to the servant Li Kaikai, but what made Ma Xiaoyao depressed was that this Li servant seemed to have some prejudice against Ma Xiaoyao. He didn't give Ma Xiaoyao a good face at all, which made Ma Xiaoyao very depressed. He didn't know how he had offended Li Kaifa.

Originally, Ma Xiaoyao wanted to invite Li Kaifa to live in the General Military Mansion, and all the rooms were vacated, but Li Kaifa didn't accept the offer at all. After he refused, he found an inn to stay in. This inn is far away from the General Military Mansion. It's still far away.

Next, Ma Xiaoyao lowered his figure and arranged a sumptuous banquet for Li Shilang, but he came all the way. As a landlord, Ma Xiaoyao should treat him well and not let him find fault.

But what Ma Xiaoyao didn't expect was that Li Shilang refused without any reason, saying that he didn't want to have dinner with Ma Xiaoyao.

No matter how good-tempered Ma Xiaoyao was, he was a little angry at this moment, and he was a bad servant, wasn't he just a poor servant?What's the big deal?Grass!You don't want to talk to me?I'm not fucking willing to talk to you yet!

Go to your grandma's!I'm not serving you anymore!

After being shut down for a few times, Ma Xiaoyao stopped talking to Li Shilang, and Li Shilang didn't come to Ma Xiaoyao either. To mess around, he specifically told Gu Zhiqiu and Tian Zhengang to keep a close eye on Li Shilang, and to notify him immediately if he found something wrong.
