Chapter 87 Throwing Away

"Zheng Shangshu is really old and confused. He was about to take a break, and even had to go through the motions. However, he was still publicly pleading for mercy for the Brave Marquis's Mansion during yesterday's cabinet meeting. Who didn't know that the Holy Emperor was angry now? He really didn't see the situation clearly. This caused the Holy Emperor Longyan to be very angry. He didn't care if he suffered a lot, but it caused all his colleagues present to be worried and worried with him. Sigh..."

Chen Ying let out a long sigh.

After sighing, he couldn't help but look at Xie Wei's expression across from him.

This is in Xie Mansion.

There was a dispute during the cabinet meeting yesterday afternoon, which almost caused a big incident. But at that time, Xie Wei seemed to have gone to the Fengchen Hall to teach that female student and was not in the pavilion, so he was not involved in the incident.

Chen Ying couldn't help but ponder whether there was any mystery in between.

So, taking advantage of not having to go to court early this morning, I handed over a memorial to express my gratitude to Wei, recounting yesterday's cabinet affairs, and probing the mouth of this young master.

Although Xie Weiren is not here, the situation is clear and clear.

The eunuch who came to the side hall of Fengchen Hall has already reported the situation.

Upon hearing Chen Ying's words, he was not very surprised and only said, "It is precisely because Zheng Shangshu is about to beg for rest, and the folding has come down. People who have half their bodies buried in the ground have fewer concerns than others, so they dare to do such things. If someone else were to replace them, they might even worry about wearing a headband and a waistband. Although the emperor is angry, he must also guard against the world's public opinion, so as not to do anything to Zheng Shangshu."

What's the difference between this statement and not saying it?

Chen Ying certainly knew why the old man Zheng Shangshu dared to say so.

Can

He looked at Xie Wei with a somewhat embarrassed expression and said, "But Zheng Shangshu has been taken into custody, can he still be released?"

Xie Wei smiled and said, "It depends on Mr. Chen and the former subordinates of the Ministry of Justice."

Chen Yingruo pondered.

Xie Wei said indifferently, "The Holy Emperor also remembers old relationships. Zheng Shangshu devoted half of his life to the court and openly angered the Holy Emperor during cabinet discussions. If he is not imprisoned, everyone will follow suit. How can the majesty of the emperor be preserved? Sometimes, even when people go up the stairs, they lack a step down. Moreover, Lord Chen and his colleagues in the Ministry of Justice are all former subordinates of Zheng Shangshu. It is evident to all that Zheng Shangshu's actions are good. The warmth and coldness of human relationships are all in this thought."

Who is unwilling to seek benefits and avoid harm while walking in the officialdom?

Simply relying on the words "benevolence and righteousness" cannot go far.

Chen Ying has always been indifferent to the life and death of others, only thinking about what the people above think. After hearing Xie Wei's words, she felt a slight chill in her heart and understood the meaning behind Xie Wei's words: although the emperor had imprisoned Zheng Shangshu, she also wanted to see how other people in the court reacted to this matter; And Zheng Shangshu was his superior. He had been a subordinate of Zheng Shangshu for many years, and even the position of attendant was promoted by Zheng Shangshu. If he were to fall into trouble at this time, others might not keep their mouths shut, and secretly feel that he is cold hearted and distant; Moreover, the new Shangshu Gu Chunfang is about to take office, and I'm afraid we need to take a look at the character of the people under his command.

How do you know this fire doesn't burn on you?

Upon hearing this, Chen Ying was already fully aware and knew that Xie Wei would soon enter the palace to give a lecture. She dared not disturb him too much, so she stood up and bowed respectfully, saying, "I will give Mr. Xie guidance again."

Xie Wei said calmly, "Mr. Chen is meticulous in his thinking, and even with time, he will definitely be able to think of something. His words are too heavy."

Chen Ying knew that this was just polite.

As the saying goes, "if time passes," there will be sooner or later. Some things are wrong if they are not done earlier. And Xie Wei's most powerful, perhaps fearless, is to have insight into everything just as it happened, to have a clear idea in mind, to play chess in hand, and to strategize.

He smiled without refuting, then bowed again before taking his leave.

Jian Shu, who was standing beside him, slightly bowed as he passed by. However, after watching the figure of this person disappear at the end of the corridor, he furrowed his brow and said to Xie Wei, "Lord Chen is really shrewd in his conduct. He has to inquire about everything before leaving, and he comes to consult with you on everything. Firstly, he is very cautious, and secondly, he is afraid of showing goodwill to you, so he should have followed your orders. However, he did not handle the matter in the previous palace properly. It is clear that you have instructed him, but when someone from the palace came to the Ministry of Justice to ask him, he brought an investigation case." "Zhang Zhe, the powerful head of the Qingli Department. It's obvious that both sides don't want to offend. They want to do what you have instructed, but they also don't want to get involved, like a falling wall grass at any time."

It's about Ning Er being framed.

Over the years, Xie Wei has seen through the evils in people's hearts, and he didn't feel surprised. Chen Ying did what he expected, but not doing it was unexpected. Instead, he had to think and think about whether he had any problems.

After all, who in the world can not weigh the pros and cons?

===Kunning Section 112===

So he only said, "I have a clear idea whether this person can be trusted or not."

After speaking, he put aside the tea cup in his hand, got up, and walked back to his own Zhuo Qin Hall from the usually hospitable hall.

Surprisingly, there is someone in the hall.

If Chen Yingfang had only just met here, he might have couldn't help but wonder: How could the owner of the Youhuang Pavilion in the capital appear here on such an early morning?

L ü Xian stayed overnight at the Xie Mansion yesterday. Just after waking up, he was yawning and spoiling Xie Wei's good tea.

The top-quality Dahongpao has been brewed three times.

Seeing Xie Wei come in, he smiled and said, "You've come back just in time, and you'll still be able to catch a good brew. So, Chen Shilang sent him away?"

Xie Wei walked up to the empty wall, stood still, raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows tightly, with a faint weariness in the corner of his eyes. He said, "The emperor fears the Marquis's Mansion, and detests it as well. Anyone who comes up to speak for the Marquis's Mansion pokes at the emperor's spine. He may not know what to do to these courtiers, but this account must be recorded in the Marquis's head."

L ü Xian's eyelids twitched and he said, "Zheng Shangshu is not one of us?"

Xie Wei lowered his eyes slightly and said, "Some people insist on killing the Marquis's Mansion."

After the appearance of Prince Pingnan's rebellion in the capital, everything that happened came to his mind became increasingly clear, one by one.

But the clearer it is, the heavier the fierce energy surging in the chest.

He gently opened his fingers, covered his own eyelids and half of his face, and suddenly called out, "Sword Book!"

Jian Shu followed him to the Zhuo Qin Hall, but did not enter. He just waited by the door and immediately said, "Yes."

Xie Wei said, "Immediately send someone to the two camps of Fengtai and Tongzhou, keep an eye on each post road, and don't worry about the delivery. Anyone who delivers letters into the city will be intercepted, and not even those who enter the city will be put in! If anyone wants to spread the news of the incident at the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion, they can be caught, not killed."

This voice is already cold and intense.

L ü Xian felt a chill in his heart upon hearing this.

Jianshu was ordered to leave, but hesitated for a moment before asking, "If, if the person who wants to enter the city is a member of the sect..."

"..."

Xie Wei's fingers on his face slowly slipped down, and the aura of swordsmanship on his eyebrows and corners of his eyes gradually grew cold and heavy. After a long silence, he said in a low voice, "Kill everyone first."

The morning mist floats in the courtyard.

There is still a lingering fragrance of tea in the Zhuo Qin Hall.

However, at this moment, the sword book only felt that the cold air of deep winter had already invaded and penetrated into the crevices of human bones, and unknowingly, it was already a desolate scene!

He gave Xie Wei a few deep glances, but ultimately knew that there was no turning point in this matter with Mr. Xie, so he restrained all his thoughts and bowed down to take orders to retreat.

Lv Xian, however, could not regain his senses for a long time.

He looked at Xie Wei and said, "Is the situation in the teaching already unbearable to this point?"

Xie Wei closed his eyes and said, "He is getting older and can't wait any longer. Moreover, Gongyi Cheng has always been against me. After I went to the capital, the Jinling incident was beyond my reach. If he didn't take the opportunity to plan, he would have ruined his reputation. The world is not chaotic, and education is not spread. The Yongyi Marquis's Mansion is very strict in military governance and has a high reputation among the people. One design forced the Marquis's Mansion into a desperate situation, which made the emperor wary of taking action to eliminate it. This way, the Heavenly Cult can make a comeback. Moreover, the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion controls three parts of the world's military power, with Fengtai and Tongzhou being two places." There are heavy troops stationed in the main camp, led by the Marquis's Mansion. If anyone takes this opportunity to spread information and incite military morale, causing a mutiny within the army... "

This is a great taboo for kings.

At that time, regardless of whether the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion is innocent or not, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape the crime of the Nine Clans being exterminated!

Lv Xian can also think of this.

Just

He actually wants to say that if something really happens in the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion, it may not be a good thing. After all, the court has lost the hearts of the people, the emperor has lost the loyalty of his subjects, and the military forces of the two major camps in Fengtai and Tongzhou can take advantage of this opportunity to win over. As long as the banner of restoring the innocence of the Marquis's Mansion and suppressing the corrupt ruler is raised, the old troops of the former Yongyi Marquis's Mansion may come to join.

In this way, sacrificing a marquis's mansion can bring about the overall situation.

But here with Xie Wei, things seem unusual.

He didn't know the pros and cons, and didn't dare to speak recklessly. After seeing Xie Wei for a long time, he didn't say anything, just said, "Where did you send the sword and qin? I've learned that today's You Fangyin wants to see Ren Weizhi, and there's a lack of someone to investigate."

Xie Wei glanced at him and frowned, "Dao Qin is not available."

Lv Xian immediately stared.

Xie Wei lightly reminded him, "You are a bit too persistent about the matter of You Fangyin."

L ü Xian didn't pay much attention to it and sneered, somewhat calculating: "I, L ü Zhaoyin, lost to you in the civil service examination and was already shameful enough. I have been studying the business field with great care, and I ask myself that timing and calculating human relationships are all excellent. After all, it's impossible for you, Xie Wei, to enter the business field. I never thought anyone would continue to pressure me in this way. That time, Sheng Si was taken first. Can you bear this?"

Xie Wei remained expressionless and said, "I can."

Lv Xian: "..."

Can he still have a good chat and talk about things!

He had a heart to refute, but after careful consideration of Xie Wei's life over the years, he didn't have the confidence to speak up. After all, he waved his hand and said, "No matter what, if you don't borrow me, I won't borrow it. Can't I go investigate on my own? A little You Fangyin, I, Lv Zhaoyin, have been captured!"

After finishing speaking, he drank the cup of tea he was holding in one gulp and walked straight out of the Zhuo Qin Hall.

Xie Wei didn't stop him either.

After walking to the gate of the courtyard, Lv Xian turned around and saw that someone surnamed Xie was already facing the wall. He couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Grandma, you really didn't stop me! Okay, that's tough enough. I insist on doing a good job this time, I'll tell you to take a look!"

After cursing, he snorted, turned his hand back, shook his fan, and then went out onto the street.

The Shuxiang Inn is still the same as before.

Lv Xian thought about going to talk to Ren Weizhi first, so that he could explore the situation and see who else wanted to join in. Unexpectedly, he only stepped into the inn door with his front foot, and when he looked up with his back foot, he saw You Fangyin standing there talking to the shopkeeper.

Okay, enemies have narrow paths.

I heard that Ren Weizhi has recently received another sum of money. Lv Xian secretly investigated and found out that it came from the Uncle's Mansion in Qingyuan. It seems that it was from Miss You Er in the backyard. And during that time, he happened to see You Fangyin in this inn.

At this moment, he didn't quite understand.

Is it true that the previous incident involving raw silk was led by the Bo family behind the scenes, and this insignificant illegitimate woman was just a pawn sent by the Bo family?

Thinking of this, Lv Xian's face lit up with a smile. Wearing a long robe, he looked quite refined. He even took the initiative to bow his hand to You Fangyin and said, "I met a girl here last time, and I heard that she has also had contact with Prince Ren. Today, fate has arrived, so let's meet again. Why don't I also come to find Prince Ren? Why don't we go together?"

You Fangyin was momentarily stunned.

She is still living in prison, and the last time You Yue went to the yamen with her was not a glorious event, so You Mansion did not make any public statements. And she waited until You Yue had already entered the palace before choosing a suitable day to ask Zhou Yinzhi to release her and prepare to do what Jiang Xuening had entrusted to her.

Encountering Lv Xian, she didn't expect it.

I didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to chat.

L ü Xian saw that she had been silent for a long time and tentatively asked, "Miss?"

You Fangyin just came to her senses, but she was both reserved and cautious. She didn't know the details of this person's identity, nor did she know what their intentions were. Moreover, when she saw Ren Weizhi today, she had other things to say, which made it inconvenient for others to be present.

So she lowered her head and said, "I'm not familiar with you, let's go by ourselves."

"..."

Lv Xian has been rolling around in the business world for a long time, and has never heard anyone reject him with such a straightforward reason.

Not familiar with

He had a stiff smile and said, "That's what the girl said."

You Fangyin lowered her eyebrows and eyes, not daring to say much. She only bowed to him as a gesture of respect, then thanked the nearby shopkeeper and buried her head as she went upstairs.

Lv Xian could only watch from below.

As You Fangyin walked higher and higher, she became more and more nervous. She waited in front of Ren Weizhi's door before taking a deep breath, closing her eyes and calming her mind. When she opened her eyes again, she was already determined and knocked on the door, saying, "Is Ren Gongzi there?"

Ren Weizhi has been staying at the inn these days.

Because he already had money to come in and someone was willing to invest in dry stocks, his hope of returning to Sichuan to revitalize his family's salt farm gradually came to him. Looking at it these days, he was no longer so haggard, and his eyebrows and eyes also showed a hint of vitality.

At first glance, there was a hint of a handsome and plump figure.

He smiled and invited You Fangyin inside, saying, "I didn't go out yesterday after receiving the news, and I waited here. I didn't expect Miss You to come so early."

You Fangyin sat down inside.

She took out two things directly from her sleeve and placed them on the table: two silver bills totaling ten thousand taels on the left, and a thin page of paper with birthdate and eight characters written on it on the right.

At first glance, Ren Weizhi was stunned.

He said, "Miss You, today..."

You Fangyin said, "I will invest money in the stock."

Ren Weizhi's heart suddenly jumped, almost immediately wanting to say that having these ten thousand taels was almost enough, but when he looked at You Fangyin's expression again, it seemed not so simple. After a moment of hesitation, he remained silent.

Sure enough, You Fangyin said, "But I have two conditions."

Ren Weizhi said solemnly, "Miss, please speak up."

You Fangyin sat across from him and said, "Firstly, when entering into a contract for the shares I invested in, it should be stated that I can transfer them to others, and you have no right to interfere."

Ren Weizhi frowned suddenly, but then let go.

He said, "It's already difficult for others to pay. If the girl is willing to pay, and the money comes into my hands, I can invest it in the salt field. As for how the shares will be distributed in the future, it doesn't matter to me. Although there seems to be no precedent in the business world, it's not impossible."

This is a promise.

You Fangyin nodded.

Ren Weizhi said, "What about the second one?"

You Fangyin crossed her hands in front of her and lowered her eyes slightly. After a moment of silence, she lifted her head and looked directly at him, saying, "Secondly, marry me."

Ren Weizhi: "..."

Sitting opposite You Fangyin, he was stunned as he looked at the girl with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes.

*

Lv Xian is good at everything, and his intelligence and strategy are also top-notch, but he has a slightly bad temper.

I don't want to be behind others in everything.

Before Xie Wei left the mansion and entered the palace, he thought about giving orders to Jian Shu, who had just returned, and said, "Lv Zhaoyin is acting out of line and rebellious, and the overall situation in the capital is in chaos. There is no time to take care of You Fangyin. When Dao Qin comes back, he should temporarily listen to Lv Zhaoyin's orders, so as not to worry about his business all day long."

Jianshu laughed and replied, "Yes."

Xie Wei just put down the car curtain and took the car into the palace.

Although there are classes today, there are no official banquets or court discussions, so the time for entering the palace is slightly delayed.

When he arrived at the Fengchen Hall, Wang Jiugang, a scholar in the Hanlin Academy, had just mentioned calligraphy and left.

Everyone is resting and playing on their own.

Zhou Baoying quietly slipped out of the hall and hid behind the thick pillars, with a smile on her face. Her eyes sparkled as she took out a small oil paper bag from her sleeve.

===Kunning Section 113===

It's bulging inside, containing things.

She carefully opened it and counted it before sighing, "The more I eat, the less I eat. But I can't ask Sister Ning to share a little more with me. That's too much..."

When Xie Wei walked over, he saw this scene and didn't pay attention because he knew that the little girl from Zhou's family loved to eat very much.

But the next moment, Zhou Baoying unexpectedly took out a peach slice cake from the oil paper bag.

Xie Wei's footsteps stopped.

Zhou Baoying took a bite, and her lowered eyes suddenly saw a corner of a green Taoist robe appearing under the steps ahead. Suddenly, she froze and her gaze followed this corner, only to see Xie Wei standing in front of her.

She was so scared that she immediately took off half of the peach cake that was still in her mouth.

Greeting Xie Wei with a solemn expression, "Hello Mr. Xie."

Xie Wei's gaze fell on her hand, as well as on the oiled paper bag. He smiled gently at her and said, "Did the palace also make peach cake yesterday?"

His eyebrows and eyes were clear and graceful, and his smile was more like ink dyed on a distant mountain.

Zhou Baoying became less nervous for a moment. Although she had little contact with Xie Wei except for school, she inexplicably realized that Mr. Xie was an easygoing person, so she smiled and said happily, "It seems like he hasn't made it yet, but Sister Ning has it. My peach cake was given by Sister Ning, it's so delicious! It's even better than what was made in the palace before, and even better than what Rongrong brought last time!"

Xie Wei looked at her calmly and said, "Is it so delicious?"

Zhou Baoying nodded vigorously and said, "Of course!"

She looked at Xie Wei and then at the peach cake that was not much left in her oiled paper bag. Thinking of her parents' advice, she bit her lip and seemed to have made up her mind. She handed the opened oiled paper bag to Xie Wei and said, "Do you want to try it?"

Xie Wei's smile deepened on his lips and he said, "Then give it a try."

He raised his hand and brought the paper bag over.

Zhou Baoying suddenly widened her eyes and looked at her empty little hands, her mouth slightly open, as if she wanted to say something.

Xie Wei whispered, "What's going on?"

In that moment, a strange chill crawled up from behind. Zhou Baoying looked at the smiling face in front of her, and for some reason, she remembered the demons of the Yan Mansion painted on the wall in the temple.

But this is also a momentary illusion.

She felt a bit confused and wanted to say, "I'm just asking you to taste one piece, not all of it for you." But as the words reached her mouth, Mr. Xie's warm and indifferent gaze fixed on her, making her feel embarrassed to say it again. She could only scratch her head and reluctantly said, "It's nothing."

Xie Wei picked up the paper bag with his slender fingers and turned around.

At the moment when I turned my back, all the expressions disappeared from my face.

He entered the side hall.

The young eunuch outside immediately came in to set up tea sets and set up a stove to boil water.

Xie Wei placed the paper bag containing peach cake on the table and sat quietly for a long time.

The eunuch bowed and said, "Young Master, there are new pastries made in the imperial kitchen today. Are you still telling them not to bring them?"

Xie Wei frowned and remained silent.

The young eunuch was somewhat trembling.

After a long time, Xie Wei pointed to the paper bag lying on the table and calmly said, "You don't need to prepare it from now on. Throw this thing away."
