The first thing Ma Wensheng did after returning home was to send his servants to invite Liu Daxia to come to discuss.

The two came to the study room and sat down with the guest and host. Ma Wensheng took the lead and said, "Yu Qiao, it's useless to worry about the origin of this matter... What kind of news did the cabinet receive before?"

Xie Qian thought about it carefully. The cabinet had not received any news about Chen Xi at all. He immediately shook his head, saying that he did not know, and then sighed:

"The child of Chen Xi has been busy quelling the border troubles of the Southern Barbarians recently. The time of the incident and the time when he led his troops to win the Nanning Victory is nothing more than the time. According to the memorial of Gao Ji, the governor of Nanning, Chen Xi had just ruined his daughter-in-law and won the victory the next day at the Nanning Prefecture City... Do you think Chen Xi's child was thinking about doing something else when planning a war?"

Ma Wensheng frowned: "Yu Qiao, you said you have preconceived ideas, you really... Some things must be viewed from a fair standpoint."

"The victory in Nanning was caused by the active invasion of Jiaozhi soldiers. The city was passively defended and then won. As for the time issue... Think about it, if Chen Xi won a victory in Nanning Prefecture City and had such a merit, how dare the Nanning Prefecture dared to frame the accusation at will, there must be hidden information."

Xie Qian said dissatisfiedly: "Shangshu Ma, what do you mean? According to what you said, the child of Chenxi has won a great victory, and the Gaogong did not dare to accuse him, which means that the child of Chenxi has forced a robbery of a civilian girl. With your understanding of the child of Chenxi, he is the kind of person who does not know the importance of the seriousness of his behavior and openly tramples on the law?"

Ma Wensheng replied seriously: "Many things cannot be generalized by partiality. Based on my understanding of Chen Xi, he has been reading the books of sages since he was a child and is very self-disciplined. Under normal circumstances, he naturally would not do such things, but he led his troops outside. If he was under tremendous pressure, he would do something incredible..."

"Stop talking!"

Xie Qian interrupted Ma Wensheng, stood up suddenly and said, "It's simply nonsense! Shangshu Ma, if you insist that Chen Xi's child is such a humble person, just pretend that I have never come to find him and say goodbye!"

Xie Qian is older and has a bigger temper. The reason why he came to Ma Wensheng to discuss this is because he valued Ma Wensheng, the heavenly official of the Ministry of Personnel, in the court, and his grace to promote Chen Xi by him and Liu Daxia.

Now that the three of them form a "strategic alliance", Xie Qian's younger generation will naturally consult with allies as soon as possible and seek help. Unexpectedly, Ma Wensheng's words are unpleasant, which makes Xie Qian furious and can't help but slap him. After all, who slandered his grandson-in-law is questioning his character and vision.

I think I was Xie Yuqiao, the top scholar, and was successful at a young age. Now I am one of the three elders of the cabinet. My Xie family is a prominent family in Yuyao. Even in the entire Ming Dynasty, it is one of the best aristocratic families. Will I choose a thief who crows and dogs to force a robber of a female gangster as my grandson? This is to believe that I have a poor vision and have found a beast in my clothes as my successor!

Xie Qian had absolute trust in Chen Xi. This kind of conceit comes from his usual insight into human nature and his understanding of Chen Xi. Xie Qian had read many secret reports from the East Factory and the Jinyiwei in the cabinet. Chen Xi repeatedly refused gifts from local officials, including stunning beauty, who would never do anything to force the robbery of the common women.

Xie Qian did not leave in the end and was forcibly stopped by Lian Po's unaged Ma Wensheng.

Ma Wensheng apologized and persuaded: "Yu Qiao, I just talk about the matter, and there is no final conclusion. Why are you here? Let's sit down and talk slowly. Chen Xi's affairs need to be discussed for a long time... This happened in Nanning Prefecture City. Now Chen Xi is leading troops to fight Jiaozhi soldiers. The court cannot handle it at will. It can only wait until the war is over before conducting a thorough investigation!"

"You, Shangshu Ma, just don't believe Chen Xi's son, and insist on finding it to the end?"

Xie Qian looked at Ma Wensheng coldly and questioned.

Ma Wensheng said: "As the Minister of Personnel, I have the responsibility to supervise the officials of the world. If this matter was not for Chen Xi's fault, it would have been a local magistrate who falsely accused his superiors. I would not give up on this matter. If the Nanning magistrate deliberately framed and accused him, I am afraid that Xie Yuqiao would not give up on it, right?"

"That's of course!"

When Xie Qian heard this, his eyes were breathing fire, "If Gao Ji dared to falsely accuse the troops of the six provinces who were also the imperial envoy during the war, and instigate the gentry in the city to have a conflict with the army guarding the country, causing a recession on the border. I will not skin Gao Ji's human beings alive!"

Ma Wensheng raised his hand: "Yu Qiao, don't be impatient. Wait until Shi Yong comes to discuss it. He may get some news about this matter. After all, if Chen Xi is in the southwest, he must go to the Ministry of War for the report!"

...

...

After Liu Daxia arrived, Ma Wensheng roughly told the matter, Xie Qian continued to make up for it, and tried hard to plead for Chen Xi.

Liu Daxia nodded: "Yu Qiaomo is anxious. Shen Jialang has made an explanation to the Ministry of War in addition to submitting the report of the victory..."

"What?"

Xie Qian asked in surprise, "Did Chen Xi explain the matter clearly when he made the report? What did he say...?"

Xie Qian became nervous. He was afraid that Chen Xi would "plead guilty" on his own and make him lose face. After all, he didn't know what was going on in the southwest.

Liu Daxia took out a memorial, which was a phased summary of all the things that happened in Nanning City by Chen Xi, and made a detailed explanation of a series of "wartime economic policies" formulated after he entered the city, and mentioned something closely related to him, which was the cause and effect of Gao Ji's report on his rape of Gao Ning family.

Liu Daxia handed the note to Xie Qian and said, "You Qiao can read it yourself!"

Xie Qian grabbed it and turned over two pages before finding Chen Xi’s specific description of the incident. After carefully reading it, a smile finally appeared on his face:

"Currently, isn't Chen Xi'an saying this very clearly? Nanning magistrate Gao Ji sent his daughter-in-law to lobby because Chen Xi'an sealed off the granary used by illegal vendors in the city to hoard goods. As a result, the woman entered the military camp and roared the court. Chen Xi called the woman to take the mouth. After she went back, she found her life and falsely accused the court of appointing officials..."

Liu Daxia shook her head: "Yu Qiao, this is just the words of Chen Xi's family, and it cannot be done accurately!"

Xie Qian directly patted the note on the table and shouted loudly: "What is the saying of Chen Xi's son, dared to be careless in such matters?"

"You are all his elders. Do you don't know who he is? Especially you, Liu Shiyong, who you had previously assisted in the factory guards and did Chen Xi in the local area. Don't you know what Chen Xi did? He refused to give gifts to him and how many beauties there are, you should know it."

"You have given him a lot of help over the years, based on his character and good performance. Now that he is in trouble, do you just listen to what the local officials say and doubt him casually?"

Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia looked at each other, and finally Ma Wensheng persuaded:

"Yu Qiao, you are too impatient in this matter. In fact, even if the matter really happens, how much impact will it have on Chen Xi? The court will inevitably turn big things into small things and small things into nothing. As an imperial envoy who leads military affairs in six provinces, Chen Xi's reputation is no longer his own business, but involves the face of the court. What's more, the court will definitely send people to investigate thoroughly. If the prefect of Nanning really framed Chen Xi, it will naturally come out and get the punishment he deserves!"

Xie Qian thought about it carefully and found that it was really the case.

It is no longer important whether Shen Xi will commit a forced robbery of a civilian daughter. Whether it is him, the court, Liu Daxia and Ma Wensheng, or even Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, there is no intention of making a statement after this incident, because Chen Xi has achieved another brilliant victory against foreigners in Nanning Prefecture City, which is a model among civil servants.

Originally, the imperial court had the intention of promoting Chen Xi's appointment. If Chen Xi was successful in his youth, he would eventually be considered a vicious person, which would have a great impact on the prestige of the court and would also have a huge blow to the reputation of civil officials.

Li Dongyang had always had prejudice against Chen Xi, but he handed the complaint directly to Xie Qian, which was enough to prove the court's attitude towards this matter.

Xie Qian shook his sleeves: "But I still don't believe that Chen Xi's son would force the girl to steal!"

Liu Daxia smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Yu Qiao, if you care, it will be in chaos! Shen Jialang is now leading troops in the southwest, and there are many people attacking him, just like he took the prefect of Liuzhou, and the local government has already criticized him a lot, and even the Guangxi Provincial Government Office has quite complained about him."

"This incident in Nanning Mansion is a warning to Shen Jialang. After that, I will send important personnel from the Ministry of War to the place to investigate the matter thoroughly and send the details back to the capital. I will definitely find out the truth!"

Xie Qian was a little surprised and asked, "The Ministry of War wants to investigate the case separately?"

"It is related to the reputation of the leading troops, so the Ministry of War must naturally treat it with caution!"

After Liu Daxia finished speaking, he looked at Ma Wensheng, "Shangshu Ma, how should the Ministry of Personnel deal with this matter?"

Ma Wensheng said: "The memorial submitted by the emperor is still in the cabinet and has not arrived at the Sansi Yamen. However, after His Majesty learned the news, he will send the factory guards to investigate. As for the Sansi Yamen, there will be actions... The Ministry of Personnel is just a routine investigation. It is difficult to make a conclusion on what the situation is. Yu Qiao doesn't have to think too much, are you afraid of the shadow being slanted?"

Xie Qian's face was still not good-looking.

When it comes to the character of the chief officials in the border areas, it seems understandable that the imperial court sent factory guards to investigate, but he is afraid that the factory guards' people will make trouble in secret. Because Xie Qian has always not trusted the factory guards so much, these people are arrogant and domineering, and they have done so many things to frame.

Liu Daxia said: "What are Yu Qiao's concerns?"

"Concern? Hum!"

Xie Qian sneered, "I am full of concerns! A fourth-rank prefect dared to slander the soldiers of the second-rank six provinces. Those gentry actually contributed to the fire. How much support do you think the local area will support the soldiers and soldiers of Chenxi children in the leadership of the army? It would be better if we could withdraw our troops earlier now, so as not to stay in the southwest and flow into muddy waters."

"I've been working hard outside in the past few years. I hope I can find a leisurely job for him next. When I have the chance, I will mention it to His Majesty so that he can return to the capital... At the very least, I will go to Jinling to be a leisurely person for a few days!"

Ma Wensheng nodded: "It's good that Yu Qiao has this idea. When this matter is over, I will recommend it to Your Majesty. After the Ministry of Personnel's evaluation is over, we will make arrangements as appropriate!"

Liu Daxia smiled and said, "Yu Qiao, look, even Shangshu Ma supports Shen Jialang so much. What are your concerns? Shen Jialang is an official outside and you are escorting the court. No matter how big the problem he encounters in the local area, it will not be a problem!"
