Summary of the previous chapter: At the critical moment, Li Qinghan finally showed the Jinyiwei token given to him by Ma Xiaoquan, successfully reversing the disadvantage and forcing Wei Zhongxian and Lu Zhan away...
When Wei Zhongxian returned home, he first asked his doctor to give him a good look at what he said. After being kicked by Li Qinghan, he probably had to wait for more than a month.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Wei Zhongxian ordered his servants to call Tian Ergen. After burning incense, the servants came back and said that Commander Tian was not at home.
"Why aren't you at home? Damn it, where did this piece of shit go? Find it for me. If you can't find it, come to me with your head raised," Wei Zhongxian roared angrily.
...
It was hard to find the servant, and finally found Tian Ergeng in Chunmanlou.
When Tian Ergen heard that it was Wei Zhongxian who was looking for him, he didn't dare to neglect him, and all his thoughts of having fun again were suppressed.
Seeing Wei Zhongxian with a straight face, Tian Ergen felt bad and quickly asked with a smile: "Eunuch Wei, what's wrong? Who provoked you?"
Wei Zhongxian glanced at Tian Ergen and asked, "Ergen, where have you been today?"
Tian Ergen shook his head: "You didn't go anywhere? You're just at home. What's wrong?"
"At home? At your mother's house." Wei Zhongxian took off his shoes and threw them at Tian Ergen. Tian Ergen was smart and dodged.
Wei Zhongxian scolded: "Did you know that bitch Li Qinghan took Ma Xiaoquan's deacon token and transferred the Jin Yiwei people away today?"
Tian Ergen was stunned, shook his head and said, "No way? How is this possible?"
"Humph, why is it impossible? You will know just by asking."
Tian Ergeng secretly resented it. It turned out that bitch Li Qinghan gave him money to treat her, and the reason for causing trouble for a long time was to distract him. In fact, it was also Ma Xiaoquan's arrangement.
"Eunuch Wei, I really don't know about this. I didn't expect that bitch Li Qinghan..." At this point, Tian Ergen quickly stopped, good guy, if Eunuch Wei knew that he had accepted someone else's
Money, that would be troublesome.
"Hey" Wei Zhongxian sighed, "Actually, I can't blame you. I heard from my servant that one of your sweethearts is ill and is not at home. I think it's better for you to marry that sweetheart as your concubine."
Tian Ergeng secretly smiled in his heart. Fortunately, when he came, he gave Wei Zhongxian's servant a piece of silver and asked him to make up a lie. Otherwise, if he knew that he had gone to Chunmanlou, Wei Zhongxian would be mad.
"This... Eunuch Wei has said so. Then I will do this some other time. Eunuch Wei, I heard what you said. Li Qinghan now holds Ma Xiaoquan's deacon token?"
"Yes." Wei Zhongxian nodded, "Lu Zhan also went there. He recognized the token. It's not fake. Ma Xiaoquan, Ma Xiaoquan, this kid is so pervasive."
Tian Ergen chuckled and said: "Actually, this is easy to handle. Father-in-law, don't you have a letter from the King? You can show it to me."
"It's on, it's useless"
Tian Ergen thought for a moment and said: "Then please ask the emperor to personally take action."
"What? Please ask the emperor to take action personally?" Wei Zhongxian was startled.
Tian Ergeng said gloomily: "Eunuch Wei and Master Lu, the three of us wrote a letter together, saying that there were Jurchen spies in the merchant gathering place of Ma Xiaoquan, but because Li Qinghan blocked the investigation, we had to ask the emperor to personally intervene.
Already."
Wei Zhongxian smacked his lips and said, "The emperor is easy to coax, but Wang Wenyan and the Donglin Party are not easy to coax."
"Don't worry, father-in-law. The Donglin Party's demands are reasonable and well-founded. Let's just call them together to see what they have to say."
Wei Zhongxian nodded: "Okay, okay, let's do it like this, just do it like this."
...
The next day, Lu Zhan, the Minister of Punishment, Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch in charge of Li Bingbi, and Tian Ergeng, the commander of the Jinyiwei, jointly submitted a letter, imploring the emperor to personally go to the merchant gathering place to investigate the Jurchen spies.
As expected, the Donglin Party stood up and raised questions, and Wei Zhongxian and others had already discussed countermeasures and invited the Donglin Party to go with them.
Although the Donglin Party still didn't believe it and didn't bother to go, because the emperor suddenly stood up and said that he was going, the Donglin Party had to suppress it for now.
In fact, Zhu Youxiao was able to agree to go to the merchant gathering place because of Wei Zhongxian's actions towards the diners Yinyue.
Last night, Ke Yinyue met Zhu Youxiao. The two of them didn't know what they did. Anyway, what they did must be shameful. Anyway, the emperor agreed today. It's that simple.
...
On the third day, the merchant gathering place finally regained some vitality. Suddenly, it received an order saying that the emperor was coming to conduct an inspection in person, so that no one could enter or leave the gathering place.
Li Qinghan felt bad. The emperor had come in person, and Wei Zhongxian and his gang must have come as well. No matter how capable he was, he would probably be framed by them and accused of hiding an adulterer.
Sure enough, after meeting Li Qinghan, Wei Zhongxian was the first to stand up and angrily rebuke her, and even cried and knelt down to read a copy of Li Qinghan's book, saying that she was unruly, had an affair with her brother-in-law, was hiding a Jurchen spy, etc.
Li Qinghan denied it and asked Zhu Youxiao to investigate.
But... Zhu Youxiao was still a child and did not yet have a deep sense of right and wrong. In addition, Lu Zhan, Tian Ergeng and others were fanning the flames. Zhu Youxiao actually angrily rebuked Li Qinghan and ordered his subordinates to kill Li Qinghan.
Qinghan caught him.
Seeing that Li Qinghan was captured, Wei Zhongxian was overjoyed and hurriedly asked Zhu Youxiao for it. He said he wanted to torture Li Qinghan, but in fact he wanted to put Li Qinghan under house arrest first and wait for his words to be resolved so that he could enjoy it.
Wei Zhongxian's thoughts are all understood by the officials present. If such a peerless beauty leaves you as an eunuch, where will we leave normal men?
In an instant, all the officials were shamelessly arguing over Li Qinghan's affiliation, and Wang Wenyan of the Donglin Party was also among them.
At this time, Zhu Youxiao said the most dizzy words: "Then you come one by one, well, just tell me the result after the torture."
The emperor's words were like acknowledging the thoughts of the officials. After hearing the emperor's affirmation, all the officials were willing to show humility to each other. Everyone wanted to be the first to try it. After all, the sooner they try it, the better the taste.
Li Qinghan was so angry that she struggled violently. She resented her peerless appearance and that she was a woman. At the same time, she began to pray silently in her heart, hoping that someone would help her.
"Stop!" At this moment, a stern female voice came from behind everyone. They turned around and saw that it was Mrs. Ma.
Mrs. Ma walked forward with a cane, saw Zhu Youxiao, and said coldly: "The old woman has paid your respects to the emperor."
Zhu Youxiao knew that Mrs. Ma was the first-class wife given by his grandfather, so he didn't ask for more kneeling.
Mrs. Ma said: "Your Majesty, Qinghan is my Ma family's daughter-in-law. How can we let these people fight over her? Can't Your Majesty see that they covet my daughter-in-law?"
How could Zhu Youxiao not see it, but there is no way, his mind is not here at all now, the carpentry work in the Yangxin Hall has not been finished yet.
