Chapter 162
The atmosphere in the imperial study room is good today, maybe there is an autumn hunt this year, the people on the list are honored, and those who stayed behind to accompany the crown prince to supervise the country also feel that the days without the emperor and officials are no different from vacations.

There are many people in the Imperial Study Room today, so whether the rules are loose or not depends entirely on whether the emperor is in a good mood.So as long as the emperor is discussing government affairs with someone, other people can take the opportunity to say something small.

"Xu Jiancheng, how did I hear that Liang Guogong's aunt has gone to your house?" Someone from the left minister started talking.

"Is it An Shi, the birth mother of Marquis Weiyuan's daughter-in-law?" The officials next to him also joined in the fun.

"Isn't the case in the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion a certainty? Hiss... I remembered, the Marquis of Weiyuan's daughter-in-law Gu Shi and the son's concubine Cheng Shi are sisters, right?"

The person on the right side pretended to be surprised, "Don't Dali Temple avoid suspicion?"

Lou Shaojie stood behind Xu Ze, his brows deepened as he listened, while the people in front of him still stood upright without any reaction. He took a deep breath, just thinking they were talking birdsong.After a while Xu Ze turned around and smiled at him, as if to praise him for his progress.

Lou Shaojie suddenly felt embarrassed.

The crown prince sitting at the head of Emperor Chengqi was really impatient to listen to these maneuvers. If anyone thought that Xu Ze might have favoritism, wouldn't it be straightforward to submit a letter and ask Emperor Chengqi to transfer to the Metropolitan Procuratorate or the Ministry of Punishment.Do these people really think that Xu Ze can be disgusted by a few words?

Emperor Chengqi was surrounded by Lang Guan from the Ministry of Industry. He was listening to the report of the river engineering, and felt that the atmosphere of other people was not right, so he raised his hand to let the people from the Ministry of Industry stop first.

"It doesn't stop again?" He looked at the ministers.

The imperial study room was instantly quiet, and a needle could be heard falling.

The prince got up, repeated the words of the ministers who questioned Xu Ze just now, and suggested: "Father, my son thinks that Jiancheng should avoid suspicion, so why not send the case back to the Jingding Yamen, and then the Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will cooperate to handle it." .”

"Whispering." Emperor Chengqi was obviously displeased.

Being rejected, the prince sat back and continued to work on his own work, while the others were thinking of their own, no one wanted to stand out, and no one teased Xu Ze anymore.

In fact, Aunt An couldn't enter the door at all, and was scolded by Pang's and Tian's natal family for blocking the way.No one cared about these things, everyone consciously planned in their minds that she had already entered Xu's mansion and met Xu Ze, and indeed climbed to Xu's house because of Cheng Fu's relationship.

"ridiculous."

Knowing that Aunt An approached Xu Ze under her banner, and begged him to see that Cheng Fu was Gu Changyu's sister, and to spare Gu Changyu, Cheng Fu felt that she was still too immature and not thorough enough.

Just as she was thinking about how to deal with Aunt An, Gu Yanya stepped into Cheng's door.

Without too many pleasantries, he cut to the chase, "She has to live." He knew very well that with the importance his little sister attached to Xu Ye, any disturbance to Xu's family due to his grievances would touch her against her scales.

He didn't stay with Aunt An out of kindness, but because this person was also related to Aunt Tang's death, so he had to drag her into his hands.

Cheng Fu hesitated for a moment before saying: "Okay, but don't let her talk to me again." She had already murdered Aunt An.

Gu Yanya reassured her, "I'll find something for her to do." It doesn't make sense for her daughter to go to jail and her father to sing and sing every night.

After the matter was settled, the two chatted about some experiences, both deliberately avoiding the difficult part.Seeing this third younger sister again, Gu Yanya is not too unfamiliar, probably she should be like this.

"Do you want to see Gu Changyu?" How should I put it, if I carefully arranged this situation, if I didn't show off in front of the villain, I would be a little sorry for the money and manpower I spent.

"No hurry." Even exile would not leave so fast.

Gu Yanya wanted to tell her that Gu Changyu's charges were actually enough to kill him.Others put loan sharks, 11 taels of silver are still 13 to 15 taels, she puts loan sharks, and she has to pay back [-] taels, and the time limit is short, double the speed, and cooperate with those desperadoes in the underground bank who have carried an unknown number of murders.If something goes wrong, if someone else goes out of the city with another identity, there is still a way to survive. She is a shining Mrs. Marquis of Weiyuan, and she is sure to catch her. It's no wonder that the Jingding Yamen doesn't use her as a knife.

"After you and I have settled our affairs, let's have a good talk." Gu Yanya came from the small door, and naturally walked through the small door. Cheng Fu personally saw him off. The two of them had nothing to say along the way, and both of them felt heavy in their hearts.

Cheng Fu nodded indiscriminately, "My brother will come as soon as he passes the provincial examination."

Gu Yanya wanted to laugh, but felt that this little sister was quite cute when she was ignorant.

"Be careful in everything." They have grievances with the Zhang family, and I can't help them in general, but it is still possible to arrange a way out for them.It's just that saying this now seems to be pouring cold water on their brothers and sisters, so let's put it aside for now.

……

Qian Shan has integrated into the general environment of the capital within a few days after he came to the capital. Cheng Fu is concerned about whether he can adapt, and he honestly said that many innate conditions are better than Jinling.At the feet of the Son of Heaven, no one is particularly prominent, and the cost of doing evil is very high, and the private fights of the powerful and powerful will not affect the livelihood of the people.

In addition to these innate conditions, the culture is also highly tolerant, and anyone can find their own circle here.

Qian Shan's investment has completely freed Gao Sheng from the tedious work, and Ma Xiaodong is now telling stories in the tavern while following the school to manage affairs. He is busy from morning to night every day, and even bought his own house.

"I asked. Do you still remember the last time she owed us money for drinks? Others paid the money, and it was too late to hide from those plague gods. She took the initiative to find someone to take her into the gang." Just thinking about how much money he could earn every day, I never thought about the risk, how to protect myself after an accident.

Which gangsters on the road didn't see the six roads and listen to all directions, and sailed carefully for ten thousand years, and whoever had a long life didn't come all the way.Gao Sheng didn't know whether to say that Gu Changyu was simple-minded or drifted away in the past few years. He didn't take the court's laws seriously, and forgot that this place was under the feet of the emperor.

Cheng Fu remembered that the time for the Autumn Hunt was coming soon, "Are Prince Rui and his wife on the Autumn Hunt list?"

"Yes." He handed the list to the other party.

This item was given to him by Xu Yemo, because the little girl didn't want to trouble the Xu family too much, so she kept Xu Ye from participating.Xu Ye wanted to help her very much, so he turned a corner and found Gao Sheng.

Cheng Fu quickly glanced over the list, then got up, "Let's go to Wuyifang."

Xufu
Xu Ye spread out on the soft bed where Xu Ze was reading, and when he heard Xu Ze and Guang Zhi talking, Lu Yan came to report that the little girl took Gao Sheng to Wuyifang, and knew that she had got the list.The little girl didn't hide anything from him, but she just didn't hide it, and he couldn't get involved if he wanted to.

"Before she died, the empress drew up a decree for bestowing marriage, which is in the hands of the Ning family."

Guang Zhi was surprised at first, and then laughed, "Except for the Ning family, no one would hope that this marriage will be successful, right? What is the purpose of being so obsessed with this?" As for Xu Ye, who would rather stay alone than settle down for the rest of his life, Whoever is wishful thinking is sad.

Xu Ze squinted his eyes and lay on the bed looking at the ceiling. His son, who was thinking about something, felt... like a dementia.

"So this decree has yet to see the light of day, but if the sixth young master wants to get engaged to someone else, the Ning family will definitely use it as a monster." He thinks that since the last time they had a falling out, the Ning family should have given up.After all, even if Xu Ye is willing to marry Ning Ying, what good will come of marrying him.They wanted this decree probably for some kind of protection.

But it's a pity that as long as he is alive, no one can make things difficult for his son.

Xu Ye didn't take it seriously at all, there were always some people who consciously beautified him because of his background and fame, only he knew that he was nothing and had no bottom line.Especially in terms of marriage, whoever makes him unable to marry Cheng Fu, he will ruin the family.Not to mention Yizhi, even if it is an imperial decree, he can set it on fire.

"Sixth young master, your marriage is really difficult." The girl who loves each other can't let go of her grievances, and has no intention of marrying him;

Xu Ye turned over and ignored them.

At this time, Pang came over and asked outside the door, "Uncle Wu, the festivals for Lianghexuan and Youjian Tavern are here, do you want to see?" Cheng Fu's festivals have always been for Xu Ze, but most of them are If it is taken by the first and second families, Pang and Tian will also be embarrassed.After all, they have already separated.

Xu Zecai remembered that the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming soon, "you can arrange it." He knew that the two sisters-in-law wanted to share some with their natal families, so the fifth wife was more generous, and there would be less trouble later.In case the quantity is not enough, Pang and Tian will quarrel again, disturbing the house.

"Autumn hunting, you are going." After Pang's departure, Xu Ze said to his son.

Xu Ye opened his eyes, "Of course I'm going, autumn hunting is so much fun..."

After leaving Xu's house, I saw a familiar carriage on the opposite side. Although there was no emblem, it felt really good to have someone waiting for me.

"Why don't you go in?" Opening the door of the carriage, there was a sweet smile on his face, which was really more beautiful than the sunset outside.

"...Next time." The little girl lowered her head.

After all, the incident with Aunt An just passed away, and she always felt that she was causing trouble to others again.

"The last time I went to Weng Qimin's house to make trouble, it was your father who took me away. I even cried in front of him..." Looking back now, it's really embarrassing.

Xu Ye suppressed a smile, touched her little face, "Why cry?"

"It's the kind with snot and tears all over your face."

"That's really ugly."

Cheng Fu finally heard that something was wrong, looked up at the other party, and found that the man had been holding back his laughter, and suddenly became vicious, and slammed his fist down on the other party's thigh, but Xu Ye seemed weak and had nothing on his body The meat is actually very strong, and the little girl's movements seemed to him to be flirting.

"Stop beating, your hands are going to swell." Xu Ye took her hand and rubbed it.

In the middle of the night, the Jingding yamen was brightly lit. Feng Wenshi commanded more than 20 troops to search the entrance of the dark canal.Overnight, there was a lot of turmoil among the boat dealers, those with connections escaped, those without connections surrendered themselves for fear of hurting their families, and the officials came to their door.More than a dozen gangs involved are trying to figure out how to overcome the difficulties.

"Have you heard that there are officials who privately manufacture prohibited items from the imperial court and use underground channels to circulate them."

"No wonder, I just said that it's nothing new to use a few tubes of pearl and agate in the culvert, and I haven't seen anything from the court for decades."

"There are boundaries, and if you cross it, you will be knifed."

"There is nothing good about being an official."

Before dawn, the hawkers who came out of the stall chatted about the big events that happened at night.They all lived in a civilian area mixed with dragons and snakes, and the officers had never stopped arresting people all night, making people panic, and they were worried that they would be arrested by mistake.

Cheng Fu and Gao Sheng were also the ones who stayed up all night. The two sat in the big study all night, and the news from outside kept coming in.Feng Wenshi's gains, the reactions of the common people, who went in and out of Zhang's house, where he went, who he met... everything was detailed.

"Someone has left the city." Luo Xing stepped into the study.

Cheng Fu sat up straight, "Which door did you go for?"

"Luoyang Gate."

"Can you see the people from Dali Temple?" Besides them, Dali Temple is also staring at the Zhang family, and they cannot miss this opportunity.

Luo Xing shook his head, "There are too many people, it's hard to identify."

Cheng Fu said sternly to Gao Sheng: "Bring your own people back, you don't have to follow." Anyway, if Dali Temple misses this time, there are others.

The clues of the underworld were provided by her to Jingding Yamen through the channel of Wuyifang, including which gangs mainly profited.The rumors in the market that are quite different from the actual situation are written by Gao Sheng. Once these news, both true and false, are gradually accepted by people, those gang leaders who have suffered heavy losses must thoroughly investigate the inside story and find out who the officials transporting the imperial contraband are.Snakes have their own ways, and once they become ruthless, their methods are much more cruel than those of Yamen.

Lou Shaoji, the young minister of Dali Temple who was missed by Cheng Fu and Gao Sheng, was chasing the young servant who left Zhang's house. This time, the Jingding yamen has already made a fuss. Find out the location of Zhangjiajing's outskirts stronghold.

The young servant of the Zhang family has been busy on the road, at first he didn't notice being followed, until he entered the deep mountain, the surroundings became quiet, he heard the hooves of the horse besides the one under him.

He suddenly pulled the rein, turned the horse's head, whipped the horse's buttocks twice, and rushed straight towards Lou Shaojie.

Seeing the opponent's unusual behavior, Lou Shaojie knew that he was going to kill him, so he drew out his saber and prepared to fight.However, as the distance approached, he found that something was wrong. The man pulled out something from his waist, held it up with one hand and pointed it at Lou Shaojie...

Although he tried his best to avoid it, he was still hit by two arrows. Lou Shaoji quickly judged that there was no serious injury and ignored it.The other party thought that Lou Shaojie was dead, so he had no time to evade and was thrown off his horse.

The two rolled around a few times, and as soon as Lou Shaojiu stabilized his body, he punched the opponent's forehead, then removed the opponent's hand, and threw the crossbow arrow on the opponent's body far away.And that person is very skilled, even if one hand is crippled, he can still dodge instinctively after reacting, and look for opportunities to win.

Both of them were seriously injured, and both of them were tense, because they both knew that this was life and death, and if there was any slack, they would die at the hands of each other.

When Xu Ye arrived, Lou Shaojie was on the verge of dying, and the people from the Zhang family were about to give him a fatal blow.Xu Ye drew out the dagger and threw it out, precisely piercing the man's chest.

"Keep... alive..." Lou Shaojie was still a step too late.

Xu Ye went over and kicked the corpse away, fed two life-saving medicines to Lou Shaojie, and then helped him to the side.Then he went back to check the corpse, and there was no evidence other than the crossbow that had been thrown far away.

The Rentuo Dali Temple was at a foothold in the outer city, he drew his arrows and put on golden sore medicine. Xu Ye wanted to go back to the city and invite a doctor, but the high fever persisted. If he walked away, there was no guarantee that nothing would happen during this period.So the dead horse acted as a living horse doctor, and he hired a carriage to take Lou Shaojie back to the inner city and directly into Xu's mansion.

"That means he can stand up to your troubles." Xu asked someone to take his own brand to the Tai Hospital.

Xu Ye touched the back of his neck, "I'm sure he won't die."

The imperial doctor who came here belonged to Xu Ze, so Xu Ze didn't worry about how the medical case was written.The doctor took the time to treat Lou Shao's injuries, and the father and son walked out of the guest room to bask in the scorching August sun in the yard.

"I'm afraid that the night will be full of dreams, why don't you analyze the horseshoe prints." Judging from the experience of the past two days, the Zhang family is very cautious.

Xu Ze glanced at the room, "We'll talk when he wakes up." After the case was handed over to Lou Shaojie, it could be said that he was at odds with the Zhang family. On the one hand, this person is currently the best case-handling talent in Dali Temple, and someone else may not be able to do a better job than him.

However, when he went to court the next day, everyone knew that Xu Ze invited the imperial physician.

"Don't be embarrassed if you have something to hide, my doctor is no worse than Tai Hospital's."

"A man at this age should take care of himself."

His colleagues rushed to give him advice, and each of them seemed to be worried about the six supervisors.Xu Ze's heart was like a mirror, and he was just telling him, after all, he didn't write a medical case this time.

Xu Ze was not the only one who had no medical records in the Imperial Hospital, and it was against the rules, but the emperor didn't say anything. Naturally, some people guessed that Xu Ze had some unspeakable secrets, such as not giving up.

After the court was over, the monarch and his ministers went for a walk by the lake, and Emperor Chengqi said, "What is Lou Shaoji looking for?"

"The Jingding yamen searched the dark canals, and Dali Temple suspected that officials were involved, but there is no evidence to point to anyone." His words are not false. Now he says it is the Zhang family, but there is no substantive evidence. Crossbows are indefensible.

Emperor Chengqi looked at the sparkling lake, squinted his eyes, "Check."
