As soon as Chu Qing and Fu San returned to the house, Chu Wensheng, who wanted money at the expense of his life, also came back, and they were both in trouble.
As soon as Chu Wensheng entered the house, he cursed loudly and harshly, but he didn't say who he was scolding.
Chu Qing had just finished changing his clothes, and before taking a hot bath, he heard his father yelling and scolding and walked out of the house.
"Qing'er is back." Chu Wensheng suddenly changed his face and said cheerfully: "Father, I haven't seen Qing'er for a long time. Come and let me see that Qing'er is bent."
Chu Qing posed and flashed his biceps: "Dad, please stop making trouble. I haven't seen you for more than half a month. How can I be wronged? I eat every meal in the palace and I'm still fat."
Quite a few.”
"It's good to be fat. It's good to be fat. When you're fat, you look rich. Qing'er is a blessed person."
The father and son walked into the main hall. After sitting down, Chu Qing asked: "Dad, you started scolding me as soon as you came back. Who were you scolding? Who made you angry again?"
"Who else could it be? Of course it would be that stupid emperor..."
"What is the emperor?"
"The ministers in the palace!"
Chu Qing asked in confusion: "You went to court today?"
"That's true." Chu Wensheng sighed deeply: "His Majesty indeed convicted the Ministry of Works. In addition, the emperor also went to Taowu Palace."
Chu Qing's expression suddenly became tense.
In fact, he himself had no idea whether the Taowu Temple was well repaired or not.
You can definitely live in it, but to be honest, both the exterior and interior are "not as good" as other side halls.
Looking at the other side halls, the materials used are all extremely luxurious, and the carved dragons and painted phoenixes are majestic.
Looking at Taowu Palace again, it requires professionals but no professionals, and no budget. After all, Chu Qing cannot go to other side halls to study inside. Just from the appearance, he feels that it is not as good as other side halls.
As for the inside, Chu Qing could only take the wrong approach and try to find comfort.
However, Taowu Hall is a side hall after all, and Chu Qing also had a certain sense of luck. The emperor would definitely not stay there. Besides, he was so busy all day long, so it was impossible for him to go to Taowu Hall for a walk without business.
Now when he heard that the emperor was gone, Chu Qing's heart suddenly rose to his throat.
"I guess it's been fooled. Although the emperor was furious, he didn't punish him..."
Speaking of this, Chu Wensheng's teeth chattered: "But that dog... the emperor who is diligent and loves the people, deducted half a year's salary as a father!"
Chu Qing's face was filled with joy: "After seeing the palace, I just deducted half a year's salary from you?"
"good."
Chu Qing smiled so brightly that his teeth could not be seen.
The salary was only deducted for half a year, which meant that although I was dissatisfied, I was not particularly angry.
The stone in Chu Qing's heart completely fell.
The matter of Taowu Palace has been revealed, and the people from the Ministry of Industry and the Emperor will no longer cause trouble to my father over this matter.
"Okay, great." Chu Qing said happily: "As long as there is no problem with Taowu Palace, other things don't matter. Congratulations to dad for escaping this disaster."
Chu Wensheng said nothing.
He did not feel that the penalty of half a year's salary was "dodged".
"Did anything else happen in the Assembly Hall, about the victims of the disaster?"
Chu Wensheng said angrily: "What else can I do? The biggest thing is that my father's salary will be deducted for half a year. The other things are just trivial matters."
Chu Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The emperor hurriedly brought hundreds of officials into the palace to attend court. The biggest thing in the end was to deduct money from his father. The emperor had enough time to spare.
"Anyway, the matter of Taowu Palace is over. My son will go to the Ministry of Revenue tomorrow as an errand, so he has nothing to worry about."
Chu Qing added some hot water to his father's tea cup: "This finally settles the matter."
Chu Wensheng raised his head and poured the hot tea into his mouth: "Qing'er, why do you only pour half a cup of tea for my father every time?"
"You can't fill the tea fully."
"Why?"
"It's just..." Chu Qing thought for a moment: "That's all."
"Isn't tea for drinking?"
"yes."
"If it is what it is, why do you have to pour it half full and not quench your thirst?"
Chu Qing fell silent.
Yes, this makes sense. Why do tea drinkers only pour tea seven-quarters full?
"I don't know. I think everyone does this. Maybe it's some kind of etiquette. It's embarrassing to pour it all over your hands, maybe."
"Useless rules."
Chu Qing shrugged and refused to comment. He had not studied this kind of culture and etiquette related matters.
"You've been overworked for half a month. I'll ask the kitchen to prepare some more side dishes for you. Let's have some drinks."
"No, no, no." Upon hearing this, Chu Wensheng waved his hands quickly: "Pickles, pickles and porridge will be fine."
"The matter at Taowu Palace is over. Your official position, Lord Wei, can be kept. You should celebrate. Eating pickles and drinking porridge is nothing."
Chu Wensheng had troubles to express.
If you already have a negative balance sheet, you will definitely have to eat pickles and porridge.
"By the way, as soon as you mentioned the official position, my father suddenly thought of it. Don't worry, Qing'er, the matter has been settled."
Chu Qing's face was full of confusion: "Is it over?"
"That's true."
"Isn't it because the ministry of Weijiang Granary poured dirty water on you? Qianqiying and the Ministry of Punishment are still investigating, so how come it was settled and the emperor ignored it?"
"The Qianqi Camp has completed the investigation. Today in the palace, the emperor ordered the palace guards to escort Hiro Haishang and others to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."
Chu Qing's face was filled with shock; "Is it true or false?"
"This is still false. It's not just the Weijiang granary, but also the official affairs of Lan County and the military guards. It was revealed that the private pockets of Guan Haishang and others were exposed. The emperor was furious. He took down more than ten people from the palace, all of whom were officials of the Ministry of Industry.
."
"No..." Chu Qing was dumbfounded: "Didn't you just say that nothing major happened in the political hall today except that the emperor took your money? Are you afraid that I am worried about fooling me?"
Chu Wensheng laughed dumbly: "How can I make fun of this as a father? Apart from deducting my father's salary, nothing major has happened."
"But the right minister and other officials have been captured. Isn't this a big deal?"
Chu Wensheng was slightly confused and asked: "Is it a big deal?"
"Doesn't it count?"
"It doesn't count." Chu Wensheng scratched his forehead: "As a father, I think that the emperor's deduction of salary is a big deal."
"Brother... no, dad." Chu Qing almost vomited blood: "Having half a year's salary deducted is a small matter, but the arrest of those bastards like Hiro Haishang is a big deal. Are you too funny?"
Chu Wensheng was silent for a long time and then asked: "The salary that the emperor deducted was from my father. It is a big deal for my father. The emperor just wanted to seize the family of Kuang Haishang and wipe out the family. That is the matter of the Kuang family and has nothing to do with my father.
It’s a small thing, isn’t it?”
Chu Qing also fell silent.
There is nothing wrong with what Dad said.
The money is yours, this is a big deal.
Life belongs to others and has nothing to do with you. This is a trivial matter.
Dad’s idea is impeccable!
In fact, this is not the case. Chu Wensheng is not a fool. He knows the methods of Qianqiying, so he has never worried about it. Sooner or later, the truth will be revealed. He doesn't take it to heart at all. Heng Haishang and others will be arrested, but it will only happen sooner or later.
So it's not a big deal to him, but deducting money is a big deal.
Chu Qing cupped his hands: "Dad..."
Chu Wensheng said happily: "Eh..."
"If you don't tell me such a good thing right away, if I don't ask, I don't know how long I will have to worry." Chu Qing was finally convinced and convinced by his father's brain: "Are you my biological father?"
"What does this mean?" Chu Wensheng's expression changed slightly: "Is it possible that you heard something outside?"
Chu Qing was dumbfounded: "What do you mean?"
The father and son looked at each other.
After a few seconds, Chu Qing swallowed: "I haven't heard anything."
Chu Wensheng was relieved: "That's right, my father is your biological father. It's true!"
