In the past few days, Xie Tao has been feeling palpitations from time to time.
The inexplicable palpitations frightened him. For this reason, he made a special trip to the Hanlin Academy and entrusted the medical officer of the Hanlin Academy to give him a good diagnosis.
The diagnostic results showed that his pulse was normal and he was in good health.
It was not until the day before yesterday that Xie Tao received a message from his hometown that he finally understood the cause of his heart palpitations.
My nephew Xie Ji told Xie Tao everything about Xie Tan.
In fact, Xie Tao knew about his younger brother's maritime trade.
As a migrant from Fuyang, the Xie family cannot do without money if the family wants to develop.
Money, where does it come from?
You rely on mountains to eat mountains, and you rely on water to eat water. Apart from land, sea trade is the fastest way to make money.
Therefore, Xie Tan, the youngest among Xie Tao's generation, was assigned the task of doing business.
Since Xie Tan participated in maritime trade, the Xie family has indeed become richer and richer. However, Xie Tao's focus is on his official career, and he does not care much about maritime trade.
In his opinion, it is enough to have money in the account, and there is no need to understand everything clearly.
He has no interest in understanding this, nor does he have the time to understand it.
It wasn't until the day before yesterday that Xie Tao knew that his younger brother Xie Tan had used his name to take the initiative to bring Hu Ze into the group.
Now, Hu Ze has been captured by Ding Wei.
With Ding Wei's temper, without even thinking about it, the other party will definitely drag Mr. Xie into trouble!
Every time he thought of this possibility, Xie Tao couldn't help but sigh.
I regret that I should not have been the one on the wall!
There is no risk in playing both sides, but looking at it now, it is inevitable that Ding Wei will be harmed.
Now that Ding Wei has found an opportunity, he will definitely wait for an opportunity to retaliate.
And his incompetent brother.
I personally came forward to pull Hu Ze into the water. I don’t know what I think.
What a pig brain.
Is it necessary to do this kind of dirty work personally?
You can definitely find someone else to do it.
After all, I am also the censor of the Yushitai. As long as my younger brother does not come forward in person, there is no room for maneuver in the matter.
Now that she is fine, even if Xie Tao wants to save her, he has no chance.
Thinking of this, Xie Tao couldn't help but hate Wang Qinruo.
At the beginning, before overthrowing Liu Jun, Wang Qinruo made a promise to him.
Once Liu Jun is brought down, Wang Qinruo will do his best to push himself to the top.
As a result, Liu Jun was brought down as expected.
But he didn't leave anything behind.
In fact, Xie Tao also understood that the final reason why things have developed to this point is because he did not become the censor Zhongcheng.
If he were the censor Zhongcheng now, Ding Wei would have discovered Xie's problem, and the two sides would probably not be at odds with each other.
Say one thousand, say ten thousand, but the official is not high enough and the power is not powerful enough.
what to do?
In the past two days, Xie Tao has been thinking hard about how to rescue him.
The first thing he thought of was to beg Ding Wei for mercy and be completely tied to Ding Wei's boat.
But Hangzhou is too far away from Bianliang, and ten days and eight days passed as the news came and went. Perhaps, before he could ask for mercy, the case was settled as a solid case.
Then, he thought about whether he could ask Wang Qinruo to help.
But when he thought about it again, he thought it was impossible.
The relationship between the King and the Kou Prime Minister was not harmonious, and it was well known to both the government and the public.
Now, with a formidable enemy in front of him, how could the Prime Minister help him cover up Xie's affairs?
Human nature is all common.
In a different place, if he were Wang Qinruo, Xie Tao would not lend a helping hand.
Doing so is tantamount to directly giving weapons to Kou Xiang.
By then, if the matter cannot be accomplished, Wang Qinruo himself will probably be affected, let alone the fact that the matter cannot be accomplished.
After much deliberation, there is only one way left for Xie Tao!
Kill relatives for justice!
He took the initiative to expose his younger brother Xie Tan's guilt, and then took the initiative to apply to the imperial court for employment on the grounds of poor discipline.
But it's also the hardest choice.
Xie Tao's father, Xie Chongli, died young. As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father. Xie Tao's four younger brothers were almost brought up by him single-handedly.
The relationship between them is very deep.
Although Xie Tan would probably not be able to escape jail, it was one thing to be caught out by Ding Wei, and it was another thing to be pushed out by Xie Tao to prevent the disaster.
This day.
Xie Tao finally made up his mind!
Fuyang Xie family cannot fail!
For the continuation of the Xie family, I have no choice but to suffer a little bit.
Today, the younger brother has prevented the disaster. In the future, more of the family's resources can be allocated to the younger brother's branch.
The decision was made, and Xie Tao immediately took action.
The next day, Zhazi, who was pleading guilty, was presented to Li Jie's desk.
After reading the contents of the memorial, Li Jie sent people to recruit Lei Yungong to Funing Hall.
"Take it and have a look."
Taking the memorial from the eunuch's hand, Lei Yungong quickly read its contents.
'How brave!'
At this moment, Lei Yungong couldn't help but curse Xie Tao secretly.
Xie Tao took the initiative to plead guilty, which is taking the credit of the Imperial City Division!
Originally, the Imperial City Division should have found out all this!
'Xie Tao, you deserve to die!'
After getting angry, Lei Yungong had an idea and cursed secretly.
'Old fox!'
Xie Tao did this to give up his car and save his handsome man!
Take a look at what Xie Tao wrote in his memorials?
There was nothing about lack of discipline, or a lack of face to meet with officials, and he blamed the officials when he opened his mouth and blamed the officials when he kept silent, but in fact, Xie Tao was shirking responsibility throughout the whole process.
Trying to make a big deal out of a trivial matter.
Thinking of this, Lei Yungong couldn't help but sneer secretly.
This matter is by no means over!
Xie Tan alone wants the Imperial City Division to stop?
Xie Tao obviously thought too much.
"Is there any secret message coming from Hangzhou?"
Upon hearing the sound of De, Lei Yungong immediately retracted his thoughts and bowed.
"Your Majesty, I just received the secret message early this morning, and the secret envoy has arrived in Hangzhou as scheduled."
"Um."
Li Jie nodded slightly: "Continue to pay attention to Xie's affairs."
"Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"
As soon as these words came out, Lei Yunggong was overjoyed.
We should get to the bottom of this kind of country bug and never tolerate it!
After all, if this were not the case, how could the Imperial City Division's abilities be demonstrated?
The deeper the Imperial City Division investigates, the more opportunities he will have to perform. At the same time, among those arrogant scholar-bureaucrats in the past, which one would dare to look down on him?
"The matter of land invasion should be investigated clearly. After verification, the land that should be returned will be returned, and the remaining land will be turned into public land."
Hearing this, Lei Yungong almost smiled. As soon as these words came out, Mr. Xie was already sentenced to death.
Didn’t you hear the phrase ‘enter the public land’?
In His Majesty's heart, Xie's land already belongs to His Majesty.
After he said yes, Lei Yungong habitually flattered him.
"Your Majesty is so benevolent and kind that all the people of the Song Dynasty can meet your Majesty. It is truly a blessing that has been cultivated for hundreds of generations."
"Go down."
Regarding Lei Yungong's flattery, Li Jie still showed no expression as before. Everyone likes to hear flattery.
But whether it works or not depends on whether the other party has value.
The reason why Li Jie kept Lei Yungong was not because Lei Yungong was nice and flattering, but because Lei Yungong was pretty efficient at doing things.
