Beautiful mayor's wife

There is another thing that makes Ma Xiaoyao not very satisfied. Since Li Shilang came, he has devoted all his energy to the case of Ding Xiong and Wu Haibiao's murder and almost ignored Guan Yi's corruption case.

After observing for a few days, Ma Xiaoyao couldn't help it anymore, so he asked Li Shilang, and the answer he got was: the case of Ding Xiong and others is more serious than that of Guan Yi, so investigate the case of Ding Xiong and others first, and wait for the investigation After clarifying, go to investigate Guan Yi's case.

Li Shilang's answer was quite satisfactory, even Ma Xiaoyao couldn't fault it, and in the end he could only return to the General Military Mansion angrily.

Gu Zhiqiu walked into the living room with an ugly face: "My lord, that Li Shilang only focused on the case of Ding Xiong and others, and ignored the case of Guan Yi. I think he did this on purpose, as if he wanted to cover Ding Xiong's case." Xiong and others are overturning the case." At this point, Gu Zhiqiu added: "The past few days, Li Shilang has contacted many people in private, and the inquiries are all about Ding Xiong and others. Oh, yes, He also asked the generals about your lord's affairs, I guess he has no good intentions."

"Reverse the case? Who does he think he is?" Ma Xiaoyao snorted coldly: "The case of Ding Xiong and others is solidly proved. How could he reverse the case just because he said so?"

"It's not a solution to be checked by him all the time." Gu Zhiqiu frowned.

"Let him check, just check, I don't believe he can find anything." Ma Xiaoyao waved his hand indifferently: "Besides, the emperor has been watching these two cases. If Li Kaikai delays for a long time, the emperor will Outraged, when the time comes, we don't need to take action, someone will clean up Li Kaifa."

"Your Excellency is right." Gu Zhiqiu nodded: "I was a little impatient, so let him check, anyway, nothing can be found."

……

Imperial City.

Xuanwuhou Mansion.

back yard.

Xuan Wuhou sat alone on the bench and sighed. He had a miserable life these past few days. The reason was because of his concubine, Guan Yi's daughter. This concubine is really troublesome Ever since she heard that Marquis Xuanwu would no longer rescue Guan Yi, she immediately turned upside down, crying and fussing every day, committing suicide twice, fortunately she was found and rescued in time.

Later, Marquis Xuanwu directly sent someone to watch the concubine all day long, not to give the concubine a chance to commit suicide, but he didn't expect the concubine to go on a hunger strike. Xuanwuhou was so angry that he was furious. After he was angry, he felt a little distressed. He still cared about this As a concubine, Xuanwu Hou felt uncomfortable seeing the concubine's increasingly haggard appearance, but he really couldn't help it. It was a case handpicked by the emperor. How could Xuanwu Marquis have the ability to intervene?

"Alas..." Marquis Xuanwu heaved a long sigh: "Living this life is really too difficult."

"Why is Lord Hou so sad?" A middle-aged man walked over from a distance with square steps. The middle-aged man was called Gongsun Yang. He used to be a teacher. Several sons became teachers, and this Gongsunyang was not only handsome, but also very knowledgeable. It took less than a year to change the sons of Xuanwuhou, for the better, of course. I am happy, and from then on I have attached great importance to Gongsun Yang.

"Mr. Gongsun is here, please take a seat." Xuanwuhou greeted politely.

"Master Hou, I see that you are frowning and sighing. Did you encounter any difficulties?" Gongsun Yang asked softly, "If it's convenient, can you tell me? Maybe I can help Master Hou. "

"Well... Actually, there's nothing I can't say..." Xuanwuhou sighed: "The little madam has been arguing with me these days, which really annoys me."

"Why are you making such a fuss, little madam?" Gongsun Yang asked.

"It's not because of my father-in-law." Xuanwuhou was in a very depressed mood, and he happened to confide in Gongsunyang: "My father-in-law was a commander in the White Tiger Banner Army Camp. "Next, Marquis Xuanwu briefly explained what had happened.

"You must not neglect the education of your children, otherwise it may lead to catastrophe." Gongsunyang expressed his feelings.

Xuanwuhou nodded in agreement: "Mr. is right, you must strictly restrain your children, and you must not let them do anything wrong."

"Master Hou, what do you think?" Gongsun Yang asked suddenly.

Xuanwuhou was taken aback for a moment: "What do you think? I don't quite understand what you mean, sir?"

"I'm asking, how do you plan to deal with your father-in-law? Do you help? Or stand by?"

"This...Of course I want to help, after all, it is my father-in-law, and the little lady is dying, I am also very annoying every day, but my father-in-law's case has already alarmed the emperor, and the emperor is determined to investigate and deal with it My father-in-law... I really can't do anything..."

"Things should be turning around."

"Transfer? What transfer?"

"I have a way to help your father-in-law get rid of the crime, but...it's a little risky. I don't know if Lord Hou will dare to accept my proposal."

"What proposal? Hurry up!" Xuanwu Hou urged: "Sir, if I can really save my father-in-law, I will definitely repay you."

"Well, Lord Hou said just now that the Criminal Ministry sent people to the Baihu Banner barracks to verify the situation of your father-in-law?" Gongsun Yang asked in a deep voice.

Xuanwuhou nodded hurriedly: "Yes, there is such a thing. The people from the Ministry of Punishment have been gone for several days."

"Who is leading the team?"

"I've inquired about it. It's a servant named Li Kaifa."

"May I take the liberty to ask, what is the relationship between Lord Hou and this Li Shilang? Is there any friendship?"

"Uh... I have some friendship with the Minister of the Ministry of Justice. As for Li Shilang... I don't know him at all."

"Does Hou Ye have friendship with Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice? Is the friendship deep?"

"It's not bad. We have had dinner together a few times. Well, he also helped me solve a few small troubles. We can be regarded as good friends."

"That's easy." Gongsun Yang nodded: "Master Hou went to the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment and asked him to come forward and say hello to Li Kaifa's servant, so that Li Shilang could favor your father-in-law a little while verifying the situation. It is best to get rid of the crime, if the crime cannot be cleared, then find a way to minimize the crime, and in the end your father-in-law will definitely give a lighter punishment, so that the little lady should be able to calm down."

Xuanwuhou blinked: "You're making me make a mistake. If things come to light, I won't be able to afford it."

"Hehe..." Gongsun Yang smiled slightly: "I just came up with such a method because I saw Master Hou frowning. There must be risks, but the effect is also significant. The most important point is that it can help Master Hou eliminate his troubles... Of course, I just said it casually, Lord Hou makes up his own mind, if you think my proposal is not good, then pretend that I didn't say anything. "

Xuanwuhou was silent for a moment, and then asked: "I have some friendship with Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, but I want him to help... I guess it will be very difficult..."

"There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as there is a heart." Gongsun Yang said with a smile: "As long as Lord Hou gives more benefits, I think the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment will definitely be tempted."

"Even if the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice finally agreed to help...and he has done the ideological work of that Li Shilang, but what I want to ask is...is there a way for Li Shilang to clear my father-in-law?" This is what Xuanwuhou is most concerned about. .

"The person who can become the servant of the Ministry of Punishment is definitely not an ordinary person. As long as he is willing to agree, there will be a way." Gongsun Yang said with certainty.

Marquis Xuanwu struggled for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth: "Okay, I will listen to my husband, and tomorrow I will go to the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment... No matter what conditions he proposes, I will try my best to agree."

"Master Hou, if you have made up your mind, you'd better go to the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment now. The longer it takes, the worse it will be for your father-in-law." Gongsun Yang said seriously.

"Yes, what you said is right, I will go to the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment now." Xuanwuhou was also impatient, so he stood up and left in a hurry.

Looking at the back of Xuanwuhou who was going away, Gongsun Yang had a strange smile on his lips.

……

It was not until the middle of the night that Marquis Xuanwu dragged his exhausted body back to the Hou Mansion.

"Master Hou, what's the matter?" A figure quickly greeted him from a distance.

Marquis Xuanwu looked up and found that it was Gongsun Yang: "Eh? Mister hasn't rested yet?"

"I'm worried about Master Hou, so I've been waiting in the yard."

"Let Mr. worry."

"How's the matter? Did the Minister of the Ministry of Justice agree to help?"

"Well, although the process was a bit tortuous, but in the end, I finally convinced the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, but in this way, I owe him a big favor, and I don't know how to repay it in the future."

"Favours can be repaid slowly, the most important thing right now is to rescue your father-in-law."

"Yes, you're right, sir, I'm lucky to have you give me advice today, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully today."

"Although things have made some progress, Lord Hou can't take it lightly. Before things come to fruition, everything is unknown." Gongsun Yang warned.

Xuanwuhou nodded: "I understand. I will keep an eye on this matter. With the help of the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, my father-in-law should be fine, at least he can save his life." Speaking of this, Xuanwuhou thought of one thing: "That's right. , I forgot to mention one thing, the Minister of Criminal Affairs told me that in order to reduce my father-in-law’s crimes, I must replace them with embezzled military expenses, as long as the military expenses are repaid, things will be easy.”

"That's more than 100 million taels of silver? Can Master Hou get it out in a short while? Well, I still have some savings on hand. Although it is not much, it can be used in an emergency." Gongsun Yang said very loyally.

"How can I ask for my husband's money?" Seeing Gongsunyang thinking of himself everywhere, Xuanwuhou was very moved: "Although more than 100 million taels of silver is not a lot, I can still get it out. I still have a lot of money these years." Save less."

"Master Hou is really amazing." Gongsun Yang admired sincerely: "Your father-in-law really burned high incense in his previous life, and it is only in this life that he meets such a good son-in-law as you."
