Since the Tieliang corruption incident was exposed, the entire previous dynasty has once again been in turmoil. Most officials are in panic all day long, fearing that the monarch will conduct a thorough investigation and clean up. As long as an unclear official is found, they will be implicated by following the clues!
However, what you are afraid of will come to you. Just two days after finishing the Tieli case, the monarch suddenly issued an order in the morning: rectify the corruption!
And this huge difference happened to fall on the head of the great minister Kou Pei'an.
This decision of the monarch made the whole court even more shocked!
Ge Shu Wuluan was very clear about the monarch's consideration on this matter. If he wanted to clean up the corrupt practices that shocked the courtiers, only those with high authority and strong efforts would be able to do the job. The chief minister, Kou Pei'an, was in charge of picketing and other matters. He is the perfect candidate to rectify corruption.
Although Pei An was afraid of avoiding the corruption investigation, this matter was related to people's livelihood, peace and stability of the country. He couldn't avoid it even if he wanted to, and couldn't push it away even if he wanted to. In the end, he could only accept it reluctantly. Such a chore!
In the final analysis, Pei An has relied on two things to win over officials to form cliques for personal gain over the years: power and money. Intimidation is one thing. The most important thing is to offer inducements. After the money is spent, those people will treat him. Submissive.
Now, he has taken on such a hot potato. Not only does he want to set an example for himself and establish a clean and honest culture, but he will also offend a few courtiers in private. Let's see what he can do to win over those officials who are willing to follow their own interests.
I'm afraid that the monarch has long been wary of Pei An's control of the court, so he wants to use this to suppress his arrogance!
No matter what, just seeing Pei An like a mute eating Coptis chinensis and accepting orders despite countless hardships, Ge Shu Wuluan felt extremely happy!
night.
The wind blew up outside the palace, and the gauze on the palace window was slowly fluttering, bringing in a little scent of azaleas, mixed with the late dew of the spring night, and it smelled unusually fresh.
Under the lamp, Ge Shu Wuluan was sitting in a camphor chair and looking at the duty register of the female palace maid. Fei Se moved the lamp closer to illuminate it.
"My lord has finally recovered from the cold, and this slave is relieved now." Feise said leisurely, looking at the woman's radiant cheeks.
Brother Shu Wuluan hummed slightly and continued to look at the booklet without raising his eyes.
Feixi blinked her eyelashes and spoke again cautiously, "Slave, I heard that the monarch has been very angry about official corruption recently, and this morning he handed over the investigation of corruption to the chief minister..."
At the end of the sentence, it was as thin as a mosquito, and even she herself couldn't hear it clearly.
Brother Shu Wuluan slowly put down the book in his hand, glanced sideways at Xi Se, and slowly raised his lips, "Are you very concerned about government affairs?"
In the past few days, she had been busy with Tie Li's case and had not spared time to deal with the matter between her and Pei Yingjun. Now, she couldn't hold it in any longer!
It seems that this scarlet girl is really blinded and deceived by her personal love! Even if Pei Yingjun is involved in corruption, Pei An is his biological father, and it is Pei An who has the final say in investigating corruption. If he doesn't do it for anyone, he has to do it for his own son!
This can't go on like this. Sooner or later, this scarlet will be taken advantage of. She must find a way to completely break the bond between them as soon as possible!
Feise didn't dare to look at the woman's face and couldn't hide her panic as she replied: "I don't dare! I just, just..."
After hesitating for a long time, I was sweating and couldn't say a single word.
Ge Shu Wuluan raised his eyebrows and sneered at the corner of his mouth, "Just what? You are not an official of the previous dynasty, what are you worried about? Or... there was an official of the previous dynasty, making you worry about him?"
These tepid words immediately startled Fei Se, who hurriedly knelt down on the ground, "No, no! I have always kept the palace rules in mind and will never dare to break them!"
Although she said this with great assurance, little did she know that her panic had completely betrayed her.
The woman looked calmly at the crimson who lowered her head to the ground. Her voice was like clear water flowing, but it contained the power of a stormy sea. "It's best this way! Also, I'm telling you one thing, you shouldn't inquire." Just shut up and stop asking. There are some things and some people. It's not your turn to worry about 'him'! What a palace servant should do is to do his job well and keep his duty! There must be no trace of it. If you have any selfish thoughts, you will not only harm others, but you will not be able to save your own life!"
When these few words were clicked out, Feise was immediately frightened. She fell on the ground, bit her lip hard, and calmed down her mind, saying: "Yes, I understand!"
Brother Shu Wuluan looked at her trembling shoulders, narrowed his eyes for a moment, and said in a warm voice, "Okay, get up. Even though you are not a female palace attendant, you will not be pardoned from the palace when you reach marriageable age. If you can live peacefully, Follow me, and in two years I will ask the empress to let you leave the palace. At that time, I will find an honest man who will keep his own integrity and take care of you for the rest of your life."
Her words were like a warm breeze in spring, soft and gentle, but they could not warm the scarlet heart.
At this moment, Fei Se's heart felt like layers of ice, swallowing up the warmth in her body inch by inch. When the last trace of feeling was about to disappear, she hurriedly said, "This slave is willing to spend the rest of his life..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a shout, "Sir, something happened!"
Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of hurried footsteps, and a female palace attendant was seen running into the palace out of breath.
Brother Shu Wuluan sat sideways in the chair, his face was cold and solemn, and he frowned and asked: "What on earth is going on, so turbulent?"
The visitor took a breath and said anxiously: "My lord, the eldest prince ordered our female palace maids to be tied up, and he also said that he would use them as targets to practice throwing knives! At present, several of them have been seriously injured. Please hurry up, sir." Go and have a look…”
Upon hearing this, Brother Shu Wuluan jumped up from his chair with cold eyes, "What did you say?! Let's go!"
After she finished speaking, before she could finish repeating, she rushed out of the ear hall in a gust of wind.
Fei Se was also shocked and hurriedly climbed up from the ground and followed the female palace attendant who reported the news to the woman.
Yanlang Hall.
The gauze tent in the hall was half-covered, and a wisp of night wind blew up, fluttering the fine gauze curtain. I saw Wang Zilang with his shirtless upper body and only a pair of milky-white obscene trousers on his lower body. His green silk hair was pulled high on his head, and he wore a golden crown. Buttoning it up, a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.
A bloodthirsty smile flashed across Jun's face, and with a whoosh, the sharp flying knife in his hand cut through the silence of the hall and flew out, followed by a shrill scream.
The flying knife was inserted impartially into the leg of the woman tied to the palace pillar. Blood was like a stream, flowing down the trouser legs and all over the floor, but the apple as the bullseye remained intact. On top of her head.
Under her feet lay several women bleeding profusely. Their whole bodies were covered with wounds from sharp knives. They were dying and struggling to breathe air.
He barely had any breath left, and if he didn't stop the bleeding and heal his injuries in time, he might not be able to live much longer.
"My Highness has taken action, come again!" Wang Zilang was extremely excited. With a wave of his hand, the eunuch in the chamber hurriedly rushed to the woman to draw the throwing knife.
Hearing this sentence, the whole body was filled with pain, and several dying women fainted instantly, while the woman tied to the pillar screamed again, "Ah! No, please spare my life, Your Highness..."
The chamberlain handed the unplugged flying knife to Wang Zilang with trembling hands, wiped the blood on his hands, and retreated to the side, muttering to himself: Your Highness is not practicing flying knives, he is asking Lord Jinyihou If the provocation reaches Jin Yihou's ears, I'm afraid...
Before he could finish, Wang Zilang's personal eunuch, Eunuch Liu, rushed into the palace from the entrance of the palace in a panic, begging with horror on his face: "Your Highness! Ancestor! Please stop, Lord Geshu is here!" "
The man glanced at Eunuch Liu nonchalantly and sneered: "Come here, my highness will train with her!"
'Whoosh' The flying knife stabbed out again. Just as the woman closed her eyes tightly and gritted her teeth to welcome the solid blow, a strong wind blew through her hair, but the expected pain did not come.
Her eyelids timidly opened a crack, revealing the dark blue back, and the woman suddenly exclaimed, "Sir, please help this subordinate..."
Brother Shu Wuluan looked coldly at the flying knife still stained with blood in his hand. His voice seemed like a cold blade tempered with ice and snow. It was rolled out of the hall with the force of thunder, "Bring this person back to me." , I’m inviting some royal doctors to treat their injuries!”
Several palace guards guarding outside the palace listened to the order and hurriedly walked in, untied the woman tied to the pillar, lifted up the unconscious female palace servants on the ground, and avoided Wang Zilang in panic. With that vicious look in his eyes, he hurriedly exited the hall.
The whole hall was filled with the smell of blood. He glanced at the red liquid all over the floor. Brother Shu Wuluan gritted his teeth secretly, his eyes were as cold as hooks, and the corners of his lips were condensed. "The master has misbehaved. As a slave, he should be admonished, but Instead of admonishing me, you actually indulged me. If you bastards like you are allowed to cause trouble in the inner palace, will the entire palace have peace for a moment? Drag the two of them to serve in the violent chamber!"
The flying knife in his hand was thrown to the ground with a clang as he spoke.
Immediately, Eunuch Liu and the young chamberlain fell to their knees on the ground, and both of them exclaimed, "This slave deserves to die. I hope you will forgive me for this momentary mistake!"
"Your Highness, save this old slave..."
If they entered the violent room, how could they survive? How can I wait until I don’t beg for mercy now
Eunuch Liu hugged Wang Zilang's thigh and burst into tears. The man glared angrily at his brother Shu Wuluan, kicked Eunuch Liu away, stepped forward and shouted: "Whoever dares to touch one of my people, I will call her Completely surrender to Yanlang Palace!"
The two palace guards who had just walked into the palace gate after hearing the order looked at each other and hesitated who to listen to. Both of them were masters of invisible sins. However, the eldest prince was indeed at fault first, and the Marquis of Jinyi was the head of the inner palace. Disciplinary officer, there seems to be nothing wrong with punishing two little slaves...
Seeing the two people hesitating, Brother Shu Wuluan's face darkened, "My words are of no use, are they? Why are you still standing there in a daze? Why don't you take them away immediately!"
Her voice was deep and cold, and she heard the two palace guards hurriedly rousing their spirits. They dragged the two mourning chamberlains away with one quick step.
The candlelight in the palace was extremely bright, and it almost reflected the light in Wang Zilang's eyes. He turned around suddenly and shouted angrily at the two palace guards who were dragging the servants to the entrance of the palace: "I've rebelled against you! I've really rebelled against you." !Who is your master..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a porcelain cup was thrown out, hitting the palace door with a 'dong' sound, and then fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
There was a crisp sound at the feet, and the two palace guards rushed out of the door like frightened rabbits, carrying the servant who was begging for mercy.
The whole hall was illuminated by candlelight as clear as day, and the man was standing with his back to his brother Shu Wuluan, trembling, and the scabbed scar on his shoulder suddenly appeared in her eyes.
The scar looked a little thin and long, like a dagger stabbing it.
Brother Shu Wuluan was slightly surprised on the spot, and suddenly recalled what the eunuch said last time outside the Royal Medicine Hall, 'The eldest prince was stabbed in the shoulder! '
At that time, she still suspected that he was the man in black robe, but now it was obvious that the wound was not caused by the crossbow arrow she fired.
So he and the man in black robe are indeed not the same person! But who is the man in black robe who knows everything about the inner palace
If Wang Zilang was not the man in black robe, then who was the one who stabbed him? Why didn't he make any noise afterwards, but he secretly asked his personal eunuch to get the medicine? What was he hiding
I don’t know since then, the number of occurrences in the inner palace has become more and more frequent, becoming more and more weird, and becoming more and more unpredictable for her!
Just as the woman was lost in thought, Wang Zilang suddenly turned around angrily, his handsome eyes seeming to be burning with clusters of flames.
However, when he found that the woman's eyes were falling on his shirtless upper body, the fire in his eyes returned to normal as if being extinguished by a glass of ice water, and the anger hidden in his heart also floated away at the same time. at.
Gradually, he felt like something was tickling his heart. Gradually, his heartbeat became disordered and became increasingly out of his control.
The man gritted his teeth in frustration, tried to steady his heartbeat, and said coldly: "What are you looking at?"
Has she never seen a man before? She was so unscrupulously obsessed with his shirtless upper body, damn it!
Wang Zilang was annoyed that he was easily aroused by her, but he was also happy and angry at her actions. These contradictory emotions were mixed together, making him impetuous beyond words.
Brother Shu Wuluan hurriedly put away his thoughts and looked away from the man indifferently, his face not wavering at all, "Nothing. The official was just thinking that His Highness is their master, but right now, two chamberlains have violated the palace rules. They have no choice but to do what I, the Marquis of Jinyi, who is in charge of discipline in the inner palace, say!"
Looking at her indifferent expression, Wang Zilang felt wave after wave of anger in his heart. Suddenly, he sneered and returned to his previous romantic appearance.
Since she came to his door tonight, he wanted to have some fun with her!
The man swayed his tall and graceful figure, slowly walking towards the woman step by step. The cool night breeze blew in from the door of the palace, stirring his trousers and making a soft sound.
He stopped in front of Ge Shu Wuluan, his eyes full of thorny frivolity. He looked at her from head to toe, looking like a virtuous libertine. Finally, his eyes fell on her face. He stretched out his long fingers to caress her beautiful cheeks, and said frivolously, "Marquis Jinyi? Ha! In the eyes of His Highness, no matter how high you climb, you are just a dog raised by Brother Shu Sheng, a bitch! It's inevitable. You have to wag your tail at the feet of His Highness and beg for favor. Since you can't bear the loneliness now, then My Highness will reluctantly help you. Where is the bed? Go over there and lie down obediently!"
Her cheeks were as smooth and delicate as white porcelain, and as warm as jade. The moment she touched them gently, it was like a spring wave surged in his heart, creating ripples in the lake of his heart. This feeling There was no shock from the turbulent waves, but it made his heart palpitate even more!
He hated her for being the confidant of that bad woman Ge Shusheng, hated her for unknowingly confusing him, and hated her even more for secretly seducing his biological sister!
But at some point, his hatred was gradually replaced by his heartbeat. Did he really have true thoughts about her
No matter if you are really tempted or just on a whim, you need her first!
Ge Shu Wuluan gritted his teeth in shame and anger, suppressing the bad breath in his heart, and spoke as calmly as water, "His Highness naturally has his eyes set high above his head, and is very arrogant, but I am very curious, His Highness is so noble. But you are openly flirting with a subordinate who is just a dog in your eyes. Isn't it worse than a dog? How can the word 'animal' be used to describe it?"
After saying this, an imperceptible sneer appeared on the corner of his lips, and he struck the numb area of the man's elbow with a flick of the wind.
Looking at Wang Zilang again, he looked like he was having an epilepsy. He hurriedly withdrew his hand from touching the woman's face. While rubbing his numb elbow, he shouted angrily with a dark face, "How dare you insult my Highness? …”
This voice shouted out, and several palace guards rushed in at the door of the palace, waiting for orders.
Ge Shu Wuluan curled his lips and smiled, the smile was like an orchid blooming quietly under the night lamp. He took out a silk handkerchief from his sleeve and carefully wiped the side of his face that was touched by the man, and said slowly: "Yes. , come here! Invite His Highness to Qingxin Hall and confine him for three days. No one is allowed to let him out without my permission!"
On that day, the monarch entrusted her with a heavy responsibility, ordering her to punish the traitors of the nobles at the top and punish the evil businessmen and the mob at the bottom. She could not live up to the high expectations of the monarch.
Now, she was going to take the first stab at him!
The palace guards who were standing at the door looked at me and I looked at you. For a while, they were frozen there and no one dared to move.
Since His Highness the Second Prince was crowned king, no one in the inner palace knew that the eldest prince had already taken the throne. Who dared to meet the eldest prince at this juncture
Now, Lord Geshu is punishing His Highness without permission. If something goes wrong, Your Majesty will be supported by the concubine. She has nothing to fear emotionally, but they, the little palace guards, may be in trouble!
But they didn't dare to disobey Lord Geshu. Neither side could handle it easily. What should they do? How difficult it is!
The palace guards were still hesitating on the spot, fearing that they would be confused and stand in the wrong line.
Wang Zilang never expected that his brother Shu Wuluan would dare to insult him. He was stunned in the palace for a moment. When he came back to his senses, fire burst out in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and sneered: "How brave! Who do you think you are?"
The woman glanced arrogantly at the angry man, and walked leisurely in the palace with her hands folded, "Who do you think I am when you ask, Your Highness? Now I'm here to tell Your Highness, I will take care of things that others don't dare to take care of, and I will take care of those who others don't dare to kill." Kill, I will solve the cases that others can't solve. In a word, I will take care of the things that others can handle, and I will take care of the things that others can't handle even more! From the royal family and ministers to the common people and beggars! The Wuji Order, the imperial power promises! This It’s me, Jin Yihou—Brother Shu Wuluan! Is it clear enough?”
Her tone was like a breeze in the morning, and her voice was clear, bright, noble and solemn, floating throughout the hall and reaching the ears of everyone present.
The warm yellow candlelight flickered in the night, and the cold silver light that flashed from the woman's hand was extremely dazzling.
I saw brother Shu Wuluan tilting his head proudly with a look of disdain, one hand behind his back, and the other hand holding up a token. His pure and clear color made the people in the hall dare not look at him.
Wang Zilang looked at the token in front of him with the word "Wuji" engraved on it, and was filled with surprise. His father actually gave her the Royal Order? !
Before he could fully digest this matter, two palace guards had already lifted up his arms and were about to drag him out of the palace, "Your Highness is offended!"
Lord Geshu is holding a royal order given by the monarch, so the order from her is a royal charter. Anyone who dares to disobey is despising the king and being treasonous! Of course they can clearly distinguish between the pros and cons of seeing a prince who sins against a king who despises his country!
While Wang Zilang was struggling angrily, he shouted viciously: "Brother Shu Wuluan, you have the guts... bastard, how dare you! Let me go, Your Highness..."
However, he struggled for a long time to no avail. After all, he had no martial arts skills and could not break free from the palace guards' grasp.
Brother Shu Wuluan looked at the scene in front of him coldly, and suddenly called out: "Wait..."
The two palace guards, carrying the struggling and panting Wang Zilang, stopped in surprise. Could it be that the master has changed his mind
At this time, I saw her bending down to pick up a silk brocade robe from the ground, throwing it away, and by coincidence, it landed on the man's face.
Wang Zilang was furious and pulled off the robe covering his face, only to see the woman walking towards him.
When she walked to his side, she paused slowly, raised her eyebrows, and said, "Put some clothes on Your Highness, so that you won't damage the royal dignity by going out like this!"
The stars outside the palace were still there, the moon was dimming in the night, and the shadows of the flowers were mottled. The breeze came in bursts, fluttering his clothes and flying like butterflies. In the end, only the handsome back of the dancing man who was carried away by the palace guards was left.
