The New Year is coming soon.
This year, Long Da was guarding the border and couldn't come back. Naturally, his family members accompanied him and didn't come back. Bao'er cried twice because she hadn't seen brother Qingsheng for a long time, even during the Chinese New Year.
This year, because Ju's house burned down, Ju Daddy and the others also celebrated the New Year at Long's house. Father Ju hasn't been able to get along with Xiaowa for a long time, seeing how Bao'er and Qiao'er like each other, and he likes to talk and tell stories, Bao'er likes to be with him. He saw Bao'er crying, and his heart ached so badly, he coaxed her for a long time, more anxious than other serious parents.
The wedding date of Long Er and Ju Muer was set on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month. Such a coincidence, this year is another good day.
Ju Muer was surprised: "Why is it this day again?"
Long Er dragged his voice coolly: "What's the matter these days?"
Ju Muer immediately stopped talking when she heard the words. The closer the wedding date was, the more arrogant her second master became. She still behaved like a good boy and didn't dare to send her to his door to be teased by him.
But Long Er caught this topic by chance, but he didn't want to let her go: "You want to say that this day is not good, don't you? You want to say that last time we got married during this day, but in the end we got married. I left, so it's not a good day to pursue it, is it?"
Ju Muer lowered her head and said nothing. In fact, that's what she thought in her heart.
Long Eryi poked her forehead with his finger: "Think about it, who did the good thing when we finally reconciled? Who was out of their wits to think up bad ideas by themselves?"
Ju Muer didn't dare to make a sound, and finally couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Then what does the second master think about this day?"
"What's the good thing? It's good that it's close!" The Empress Dowager ordered to prepare as quickly as possible, and this day just happened. Moreover, his family Mu'er has been recuperating for a few months, so there should be no problem with the wedding night, so it would be best to choose the closest date.
Ju Mu'er didn't speak anymore, anyway, she was only responsible for recuperating during this period of time, drinking medicine, eating supplements, and sleeping to refresh her spirits, and she couldn't take care of the rest.
And after Zizhuo Yishu's death, the people behind the scenes seemed to be afraid, and there was no further movement. Long Er's behavior is also a bit mysterious, he often goes out for a long time but does not reveal his whereabouts. But Ju Muer was weak during those days, so she didn't have the energy to pursue it. It's just that the whole thing doesn't seem to be disturbed on the surface, but I don't know if the bottom of the water is turbulent or not.
In any case, on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, Ju Muer got married for the second time.
Still married to Long Erye.
The bridal sedan chairs circled around the capital bustlingly, and the ostentation was even bigger than when they were married for the first time. But Ju Muer wasn't too nervous this time, she even thought that after being married once, she lost the freshness. Most importantly, the groom was still the same person, which really made her nervous.
When the sedan chair entered the Dragon Mansion, all the rules and procedures were the same as last time. This time Ju Muer didn't panic at all. Long Er took her hand, and she would step over the threshold if she was asked, and she would jump if she was asked to jump into the brazier. Anyway, she knew that the man beside her would not let her fall.
The two worshiped the heaven and the earth, and the father-in-law sent by the queen mother presented a congratulatory gift. If they acted like this, the rest of them would naturally not be lenient. The congratulatory gifts are better than the last one, Long Er's mouth is almost grinning to the back of his head.
Feng Wu accompanied Ju Muer to wait for the groom in the wedding room. She keeps saying that poor Ju Muer has worked so hard, and getting married is so tiring, she has to go through it twice. The two women also talked about how much money Long Er had amassed through the wedding.
Just as he was talking happily, Long Er came in.
Long Er gets angry when he sees the sister-in-law eating and drinking without any scruples. Although she is married for the second time, she should look like a new bride and sister-in-law anyway, right? That's all, it just happened that he heard the two of them calculating his gift money as soon as he entered the door.
He said coldly: "I didn't collect much, it must not be enough for 88,000 taels of gold."
As soon as these words came out, Ju Muer immediately became honest. And Feng Wu sent a sympathetic glance, said goodbye and left.
After the salutes and happy words were sung, soon there were only the second-married couple left in the room. Seeing that no one disturbed Long Er, he felt better. He threw off the cumbersome wedding clothes on his body, lay down on the bed, and called out loudly: "Madam, come and beat my husband's back."
The word "for a husband" is extremely heavy. Ju Muer was amused by him, and went to beat his back for him.
After beating for a while, Long Er put his feet on her knees again: "Beat my husband's legs."
Ju Muer was thumped again.
After beating for a while, Long Er got up again, sat in front of Ju Muer, put her hand on his chest: "Undress my husband."
Ju Muer let him go, and stripped his clothes without saying a word.
Long Er hugged her tightly, and bit her ear: "You are heartless, you are not afraid to freeze Grandpa in the cold weather."
"It was the second master who let me go."
"What are you calling me for?" Long Er patted her butt, pulling her down on the bed.
"Sir."
"Hey." Long Er responded with a grin, really satisfied with this address.
But after Ju Muer called this, there was no movement again. Long Er patted her again, and Ju Muer tactfully called again: "Mr.
"Hey." Long Er replied again.
After answering, Long Er cheerfully took off his wife's clothes. Getting married is a joy.
"Sanggong, you said that there has been no movement for so long, is he planning something?" Ju Muer was very worried about the person behind the scenes.
"Sister, you have been busy for a while, and I didn't have a chance to discuss it with you. Since the matter has come to this point, and you and I have become husband and wife again, no matter what, the case must be settled properly, otherwise something will happen. It will hurt the Long family."
Long Er's clothes were also picked up, his posture was also arranged, and he was planning to have a good time on his second wedding night, but his second wife kept talking about spoiling things.
He stopped and stared at Ju Muer.
Ju Mu'er seemed to feel his displeasure, but couldn't help but say again: "Really, look, I thought nothing would happen, but my house was burned. If there is something else..."
Ju Muer didn't finish her sentence, but she exclaimed, she was turned upside down, and sat on Long Er's body.
"Long Jushi, I don't want to talk to you now."
Ju Muer sat timidly, not knowing how to react. After Long Er said this sentence, there was no movement, and Ju Muer did not speak, and waited quietly.
"What should you say at this time?" Long Er was unhappy again.
"Don't you want to talk?"
"I won't say it, but you can say it."
"Sir, would you like to hear what I have to say?"
Long Er choked, and wanted to spank her ass again.
"Are you cold?"
"A little bit." There was a small stove for heating in the room, which was actually okay, but she was always afraid of the cold, and she was stripped naked again, so she felt a little cold without a quilt at the moment.
"Why don't you hug me to keep warm?"
It turned out to be like this.
Ju Muer quickly leaned over and hugged Long Er.
"I don't want to talk to you, wouldn't you just gag me first?"
I see.
Ju Muer hurried over to kiss him.
Long Er grabbed her tightly and kissed her deeply, and finally let go, but he heard Ju Muer say: "Second Lord, have there been any news from Li Huwei and Master Yali?"
"you shut up."
"But I suddenly thought of something."
Long Er sighed in his heart, that's all, if she doesn't gag him, he will gag her.
That night, after all, Ju Muer failed to properly discuss the case with her second-marriage husband. Not only was there no discussion, but she was treated badly. In the end, she had no choice but to carry out the doctor's order of Han Xiao, saying that she should not be too tired and ended the long night.
What Ju Muer thought of, she told Long Er on the third day after the wedding. She was thinking, why did such a wonderful piece of music remain unknown before it was passed on to Shi Zechun? But most of the piano players have the problem of showing off. How could no one have heard of such a wonderful piece of music? It shouldn't have been spread by Shi Boyin until Shi Zechun got it.
Long Er couldn't answer this question. He thinks why no one knows about this piano piece is not the point, but where Shi Zechun got the sheet music is a useful clue, but unfortunately no one has known this point, and they have no way to track it down.
On this day, Long Er went to see the emperor.
He went there with the dossiers of those privately raised Jianghu spies from the Ministry of Punishment. He wants to report the secret, saying that Ding Sheng and his subordinates of the Ministry of Punishment have the intention of treason.
In fact, Ding Shengyang's private detective may not have this intention, and it cannot be judged from all the evidence that they have this intention, but Long Er must drag the emperor into trouble.
False accusations are but a means to an end.
The emperor would not do anything to Ding Sheng or the Ministry of Punishment just because he read the file, and Long Er himself was just a commoner, so he could not take advantage of this incident to do anything to Ding Sheng and the Ministry of Punishment. All he had to do was to make the emperor suspicious of the Ministry of Punishment and be wary.
Then, what he wants to do can start.
After the emperor finished reading those files, he didn't say anything. He just asked people to set up the chessboard and wanted to play against Long Er.
After the two of them were halfway down, the emperor stepped back and said, "How could your Long family find out about these things?"
"It's not a day or two for my youngest child to work for the court." Long Er pressed a chess piece, understating it. There is nothing wrong with this statement. Many things that are not convenient for the court officials to come forward to do, many of them are done secretly with the help of Long San's power in the world. This emperor knows it very well, but he is not so easy to fool.
"No reason, why go to investigate?"
Long Eryi raised his eyes, with a smile that was not a smile: "Could it be that the emperor knew about this in advance and wanted to blame me for taking unnecessary actions? Don't worry, the emperor, I didn't startle the snake, and those people are all in their positions, thinking that nothing happened. If the emperor has another Arranged, I must have never done anything bad."
The emperor stared at the chessboard, and said slowly: "I just found out about this, but I know your personality too well. Forming a party for personal gain and cultivating a private army are serious crimes, and only high-ranking people dare to do it. You are very It is clear that it is not a good thing to offend someone with a high position and authority. Especially what you have shown me is not solid evidence. If you say something bad, it is suspected of false accusation. If there is no solid evidence to punish them in one fell swoop, those who come to report You will definitely cause trouble. With your shrewdness, you will never ask for trouble."
"These people are not good for the emperor, so naturally they are not good for me. How can I be asking for trouble when I have nothing to do?"
"That's why you shouldn't be such an early bird. According to common sense, you will find a loyal and courageous minister who is not very clever. After a few instigations, he will rush to me to complain without hesitation, instead of like You are like this now."
Long Er calmly said, "People like me will not arouse suspicion. Although these can only be evidence, who knows if this is just the tip of the iceberg? Letting others expose it will indeed keep me out of the matter, but the emperor said this But the side is going to be troublesome. Your majesty, will you tell me or not, will you investigate or not? If your majesty wants to investigate, all the factions on the other side will be implicated, and they will make great moves. What else can your majesty find out? If your majesty does not Cha, how can the loyal courtiers be appeased? The people of that faction will also be greatly disappointed and disheartened, where is the imperial prestige?"
These words are reasonable, but the emperor is not happy. He threw the chess piece away, and said coldly: "At the beginning, you were asked to help me as an official, but you didn't want to. With your brain, if you are in the upper hand, how many things can you help me accomplish?"
"Isn't it possible for me to serve the emperor when I am outside the court?" Long Er played with the chess pieces, "There are so many courtiers in court, and there are also many shrewd ones in terms of loyalty and shrewdness. What the emperor lacks are people who are kept in the dark. This That's why the emperor didn't insist on letting me be an official, isn't it?"
The emperor didn't speak, just stared at the chessboard. Long Er knew that he was meditating. It is one thing for the emperor to set up hidden stakes himself, but it is another thing for the courtiers to secretly arrange their own power. What's more, Ding Sheng was too popular, he didn't know how to restrain himself, and he thought he had touched the emperor's dragon scale.
"What's your purpose?" The emperor suddenly asked.
Long Er raised his eyes, and looked directly at the emperor: "I just hope that everyone in my Dragon Mansion is safe and sound."
The emperor looked at him and said, "So you can't wait to marry that blind girl back?"
Long Er smiled, but did not deny it.
"It's no wonder that the imperial sister and the queen mother want to get involved in this matter. Presumably it's your hands and feet. If you want to marry a woman back, you don't need such a big fight."
"My wife is not a worry-free person. If I talk to her carefully, I don't know how many years and months it will take, then this matter will not be done. So speaking of it, I still want to thank the princess and the queen mother for making it happen."
"What did the Criminal Ministry do to make you like this?"
"My wife almost died at the hands of Jianghu spies raised by the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Someone burned her house that night. If my guards hadn't happened to pass by, my wife would have died. This must be well known in the capital, but everyone thinks it's Xiaoxiao What I did, and I tracked it down, only to find out that this matter is hidden behind the Ministry of Punishment."
The emperor frowned: "Why did the Ministry of Punishment spy kill your wife?"
"I don't understand this, and my wife doesn't understand it. She can't see things, so she can't provoke anyone. I guess she may have stumbled across some scandal of a spy from the Ministry of Justice, and the other party thought she saw something. I did it rashly. My wife escaped by chance, and I tracked down the murderer, only to find out the former private detective of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Weighing the stakes, I dare not pursue the matter with the government office, so I first came to report to the emperor."
What Long Er said was impeccable. The emperor also heard that Long Er mentioned that Ju Mu'er encountered a murder case in the inn, and the murderer thought that the witnessing incident was almost wiped out, so now that this happens again, he thinks it is reasonable, but this blind lady is too unlucky .
"Your majesty, you must be able to understand the utter loyalty of the grass-roots people."
The emperor gave him a blank stare: "Your flattering skills, any one in the palace can be better than you."
"Then they must not be as sincere as I am. Loyalty is also in vain."
Long Er spoke seriously, which caused the emperor to sneer: "Although I feel like I have been tricked by you, you are right. The Ministry of Punishment is powerful, and it is indeed a bit too big. That Ding Sheng has attracted many courtiers to stand On his side, there are some things that I can't do anything about. The private spy matter can be big or small, but the evidence in the file alone is useless, and he can find many excuses to evade it. The most important thing , You have not found out that these spies violated the laws and regulations, and the charge of treason and rebellion cannot be settled casually, once the officials question it, I must convince the public."
