The Minister of Industry's personal intervention finally had an effect.
I rushed to the household department again, and after some pulling and pulling, I finally got through the door of the household department.
Hou Junji stopped a group of people in the main courtyard of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Standing in front of Zhang Liang, he asked with a smile: "Master Zhang, what is it that makes you so anxious?"
Zhang Liang coughed lightly: "Master Hou, where is Lu Yao, the Minister of Household Affairs?"
"Why does Lord Shangshu come to see a minister in person? Besides, this is the minister of the Ministry of Industry. Isn't it inappropriate to turn around and come to see the minister of the Ministry of Revenue?"
Zhang Liang had already made up his mind and smiled: "Lu Yao is supervising a reconstruction area in the west of Chang'an. I want him to go to the construction site today because there is something urgent."
"Is that so..." Hou Junji looked hesitant on his face.
Bai Song was a little anxious and interrupted: "Where is Lu Yao now?"
All the officials looked at this young man in casual clothes and frowned.
How dare you interrupt Mr. Hou Junji? What does he have to do between the two ministers?
"Who is this?" Hou Junji cast a curious look.
"This is Princess Runan's consort Bai Song." Zhang Liang explained.
"It turns out he is the Prince Consort..." Hou Junji nodded slightly to Bai Song.
His face remained calm, but he looked at Bai Song carefully in his heart.
I have heard the name of the Bai Song Dynasty for a long time, but I have never seen anyone from the Bai Song Dynasty. When I saw him today, he really looked like a scholar, but he was a little reckless.
There are great discrepancies with the various rumors from the outside world.
Some people wonder why the princess is so afraid of such a young boy?
To put it simply, Hou Junji's first impression of Bai Song was unremarkable.
Hou Junji didn't change his expression and slowly explained: "You want to see Lu Yao, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you all. Today Lu Yao fell off his horse while riding outside. He suffered some injuries and has difficulty moving. No matter what,
, let’s wait for two days before talking about it.”
"Falled while riding a horse? How is that possible? Lu Yao doesn't know how to ride a horse at all." Bai Song frowned and retorted directly.
Hou Junji smiled: "Prince-in-law, do you mean that I, the Minister of Household Affairs, will still lie to you?"
"..." Bai Song frowned, knowing that what he said was disgraceful, but it was related to Lu Yao's life and death, and Bai Song couldn't stay calm.
Hou Junji changed his usual temper and was polite to the prince-in-law, and then explained: "It was precisely because Lu Yao couldn't ride a horse that he was injured. Is this explanation satisfactory to the prince-in-law?"
"Where's Lu Yaoren?!"
"Cough! Cough!" Zhang Liang coughed twice, signaling Bai Song to pay attention to his tone. This kid was getting more and more excessive.
Bai Song frowned and tried to restrain himself. He originally thought that his continuous offense would make communication difficult.
Hou Junji was unexpectedly patient and said, "The person is inside. If you don't believe me, please go in and see for yourself."
Hou Junji pointed to a room.
Bai Song went straight into the room without thinking, shocking all the officials' jaws.
Xin said that even if you were the prince-in-law, you wouldn't think so little of Master Shangshu, right?
And Mr. Hou, when did his temper become so good?
Bai Song didn't care about the looks around him.
After entering the house, he saw Lu Yao lying on the bed covered in blood.
"Lu Yao!"
Hearing Bai Song's voice, Lu Yao turned his head with difficulty and grinned at Bai Song, with bloodshot eyes all between his teeth.
Bai Song's face was gloomy, he walked over and asked in a low voice: "Did Hou Junji do it?"
"What if it's him? What if it's not him?"
"If it's him, I will naturally vent my anger on you!"
"He is a second-grade official. What are you?"
"No matter who he is, he must be angry when he needs to be angry!"
"Don't be so hypocritical in front of me. When you beat me on the boat yesterday, you were no more gentle than Hou Junji."
Bai Song frowned: "I am angry that he will not fight!"
"No fight? Do you think I, Lu Yao, will not fight?"
Bai Song seemed to have some other meaning when he heard this, and lowered his voice: "What happened? Why did Hou Junji know what happened yesterday?"
"I told Hou Junji that you leaked it, but in fact it was me who leaked it myself."
Bai Song was shocked: "Did you leak it yourself? Are you desperate for your life?"
Lu Yao smiled laboriously and looked at Bai Song with some pride: "This time, I deceived you! Even if I lose half my life, it's worth it."
"You...what exactly do you want to do?"
"When we were still young, it was easier to get things done with superficial opposition than cooperation. The way to get close to Hou Junji was not just to become his son-in-law. As long as you create the illusion that you and I are at odds, the enemy of your enemy is your friend. Hou Junji
Now he has recognized me! Even though I tried to possess his daughter, high-ranking officials like them are so powerful that when faced with real interests, they will not care about the honor and disgrace of their families."
"Did you do everything on the flower boat on purpose?"
"Of course, although I, Lu Yao, am despicable and shameless, I still disdain to use such a shady method to possess a woman."
"You...why are you doing this?" Bai Song sighed, not knowing what to say.
"I will help you buy time, remember to let Yu Ji play his role! After today, we can't meet again."
Bai Song suddenly didn't dare to face Lu Yao's eyes.
This bastard risked his life to help him, and he actually spent the whole night doubting him!
"right……"
Bai Song wanted to say an apology.
Hou Junji's voice came from outside.
"Prince-in-law, do you have any questions now?"
Bai Song stood up silently, glanced at Lu Yao, left the room, and returned to the courtyard.
Hou Junji said with a smile on his face: "Prince-in-law, do you believe it now?"
Bai Songyi held up his hand: "Lu Yao was indeed injured in a fall while riding a horse. It seems that he has been unable to move in the past few days. Things on the construction site can only be delayed."
Zhang Liang didn't know what was going on in the room, so he looked at Bai Song.
Bai Song gave Zhang Liang a leaving look.
Zhang Liang understood, clasped his fists at Hou Junji, said a few words of farewell and left.
Zhang Yuhan was almost anxious to death at the door of the household. When he saw his father and Mr. Bai coming out, he hurriedly asked.
"how's it going?"
Bai Song said in a deep voice: "Lu Yao was beaten half to death by Hou Junji, but fortunately he saved his life. It's bullshit that he was injured while riding a horse."
Zhang Liang patted Bai Song on the shoulder: "Enough is enough. If something like this happens, it is a blessing to be able to save one's life. With Hou Junji's temperament, he has already given me and my consort a lot of face today."
Bai Song nodded in agreement: "Yes, as long as you can save your life."
Things are very clear.
Lu Yao made a big mistake on the boat and Hou Junji found out about it.
It is understandable that Hou Junji killed someone in a rage.
Perhaps because Lu Yao had an official position, Hou Junji resisted the temptation to kill him.
Based on what Lu Yao did, being beaten half to death was something he asked for.
You are lucky to be able to save your life.
The ending is already very good, there is no need to get involved in it.
At this moment, Hou Junji was asking Lu Yao on the bed: "You said it was Bai Song who leaked the news. Why did he come to you so nervously? You guys are from the same school, why are you so hostile?"
