In the middle of the night in Xiahou Mansion, Su Qian'an was playing two roles in Xia Chu's room.
It turns out that in the afternoon. Du Ming, the second son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, found out about Qiu Zhiting and went to see Bingwen. So he took some people to find Bingwen and asked them about the details of their meeting.
"Bingwen didn't panic at all when he saw Du Ming coming with his people. Instead, there was a bit of coldness emanating from his body, which was completely different from his long-standing scholarly, elegant, modest and polite look. The way he looked at Du Ming was like a poisonous snake spitting out a message. , very scary.”
Xia Chu smiled when he heard this and asked, "What next?"
"Bingwen asked him, who is here? Does he have an official position? Whose order does he serve? Does he have a document? Du Ming was stunned by Bingwen's teasing. I am afraid he has never seen others treat him so rudely. He gritted his teeth and said , he is Prime Minister Du’s son, and I came to question him on Prime Minister Du’s order.”
"Did Bingwen smile contemptuously?" Xia Chu said firmly.
Su Qian'an nodded in astonishment, imitating Bingwen's look and said: "Yes, Bingwen just smiled like that. Then he replied, it turned out to be Prime Minister Du asking. I am a scholar, and I came to Beijing to rush to the Spring Festival. I came early. On weekdays, I just make some pleasant friends here and discuss poems and songs. I have only met the person that Prime Minister Du asked about a few times. What he said is nothing more than romance."
"Bingwen started making nonsense, one after another." Xia Chu laughed and said, "Du Ming will be angry after hearing this."
Su Qian'an had a strange feeling that the young master was present at the scene...
"Then Du Ming snorted and said that Bingwen had a very clever mouth. He took it back to the prime minister's house to see if he could still be so tough-tongued." After speaking, Su Qian'an straightened her back and hit herself with her right hand. He raised his head on his left chest and said: "Then I went up and stopped him as you ordered, and took out the Marquis Mansion Token you gave me. Tell him that this place belongs to you, young master. If you want to bring someone with you in this shop, Let’s go and find you.”
"Well done." Xia Chu nodded, praised, and then asked, "Du Ming is leaving now?"
"No, I was quite polite and even gave him a bow. I asked Mr. Bingwen if we could also discuss poetry and poetry together."
"This Du Ming is really asking for trouble." Xia Chu knew that he would be rejected without even thinking about it.
"Bingwen held his airs, looked at him from top to bottom, and finally said sarcastically, I don't like you, please come back." After Su Qian'an learned this, he couldn't help laughing. After he regained his composure, he continued: "Later, Du Ming went downstairs angrily and stood at the door for a long time before he rolled his sleeves and left angrily."
Xia Chu thought, right now, Du Hanfei couldn't move. It's okay to let Yin Zhi vent his anger and anger his son.
"Master, what should we do next?" Su Qian'an asked for instructions.
"wait."
"wait?"
"Don't worry, if nothing unexpected happens, we should wait until tomorrow..."
"yes."
"You should go back and rest first."
Su Qian'an said yes and retreated.
Xia Chu thought as he knocked on the table, the curtain has been drawn and the main event is about to begin. Therefore, you should be impatient and want to cut off Du Hanfei's right-hand man first...
On the morning of the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, the officials were divided into three factions.
One faction, headed by Prime Minister Du, claimed that the culprit, Runan County Governor Qi Haizhou, had gone to Dali Temple to commit suicide last night. Mr. Zhu was indeed framed and imprisoned innocently. He should be acquitted and his innocence restored.
One faction was headed by Taifu Wu, and the matter of inviting the emperor was extremely strange. Mr. Lu has been unjustly accused for more than half a year, and was sentenced to execution with no one paying attention. Zhu Chenlin was just released from prison, and Qi Haizhou turned himself in. There must be something fishy about the case and it must be investigated strictly.
There is also a faction headed by Mr. Xu, the Minister of Household Affairs, who remains neutral and cannot offend both sides.
Actually, Taifu Wu’s side can’t even be called a faction. Because, in addition to Taifu Wu, the Communist Party of China only added a few distinguished officials.
At present, it is difficult for a few people to win against the crowd, and the trend has become one-sided.
At this time, Xiao Yanjun stepped out and pressed the last straw. Addressing the emperor, he said: "I believe that since Qi Haizhou has surrendered, the matter should be settled. Mr. Zhu has always been an honest official and has fulfilled his duties. As a second-rank minister of the Xiao Kingdom, he cannot continue to be detained in Tianlao. , was slandered by others."
After Xiao Yanjun finished speaking, he glanced at Prime Minister Du with his peripheral vision. When he saw him nodding slightly, he raised his head and looked at the emperor sincerely.
The emperor's brows furrowed into a frown, his face darkened, and he was about to speak.
"The views of my son and minister are slightly different." Xiao Zimu always paid no attention to court affairs. At this time, he stood up.
