In the Hubu Yamen office, no one was on duty, and they were all waiting outside the main hall.
The doctor had just left and said that Chu Qing had nothing serious, just a flesh injury, mainly due to "tiredness".
Everyone expressed their understanding, and it was indeed tiring. Killing a jailer, arresting three people, and robbing a prison was not a laborious job.
Wei Changfeng walked out of the main hall, smiled slightly and waved his hand: "Everyone, go back. Chu Qing is awake. It's okay."
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs swarmed in, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
I have to say that Chu Qing really made Hu Bu feel embarrassed.
In the morning, soldiers and officers from the Jingzhao Prefecture came to arrest people at the entrance of the Yamen Office. As a member of the Household Department, there was no one who would not be angry, but there was nothing they could do if they were angry. At most, they would curse twice.
Looking at Chu Qing again, he "infiltrated" directly into the enemy's interior. I heard that he almost didn't order it for Jingzhao Mansion. What's that called, blushing and relieving his hatred!
Chu Qing, who had just woken up, was surrounded by a tight crowd. He kept holding his hands and couldn't laugh or cry.
It was obvious that the expressions of concern on everyone's faces came from the bottom of their hearts.
Chu Qing is willing to teach everyone arithmetic, firstly, and secondly to vent everyone's anger, which is even more rare. Of course, they also heard that even Sun An went. For various reasons, Chu Qing was like a hero returning.
He was warmly greeted by everyone.
After a lively chat, everyone told Chu Qing to take good care of his health before leaving.
It has to be said that under the leadership of Wei Changfeng, the Hubu Yamen Department does have a cohesion that is different from other Yamen.
Again, the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs are not popular with others, so they are very united internally.
Chu Qing sat up from the bed and saluted Wei Changfeng.
"Thank you, Mr. Wei, for coming to the rescue."
"As it should be."
After sitting down, Wei Changfeng shook his head: "I owe it to you to tell me in detail what happened."
Chu Qing didn't hide anything and explained the situation in detail.
Wei Changfeng knew that the Li family was ruthless, but he didn't expect that they would dare to do so blatantly.
Of course, Li Lin actually didn't expect such a big mess to happen. It wasn't a big deal to find two jailers, let Chu Qing take custody, and trick Tao Shaozhang into it.
It's a pity that he underestimated Chu Qing's "background", and he really didn't expect this guy to dare to kill someone and rob him of prison.
"This Li family really does everything they can. They will stay at home for a few days to recuperate. After they recover from their injuries, they will come back to work as errands. When they come to the government offices in the future, they can have your followers go in and out of the household department to protect you at all times."
Chu Qing frowned and asked, "The Li family still dare to attack me?"
Wei Changfeng said nothing
This Li family is really not an ordinary aristocratic family.
Many times, Changlu was like a joke to these aristocratic families, but more often, the aristocratic families would pick up Changlu as their shield.
Just like the Chu Qing incident, normally the Li family should not take action anymore, because as long as something happens to Chu Qing, the first person everyone will suspect is the Li family.
But the problem is that there is no evidence. Even if everyone in the world knows that it was the Li family who did it, the problem is that there is no evidence. Even the emperor cannot do anything to the Li family just because of suspicion.
For a moment, Wei Changfeng felt a little nostalgic for the time when the Supreme Emperor was in power.
When the old emperor was in power, he did not care what scholars, noble families, or ministers from other dynasties thought, he would do whatever he wanted.
On the contrary, the new king always wants to do everything perfectly, always wants to be a "smart king", and cares too much about the opinions of outsiders. He must also do things according to the law, and he doesn't want others to find any faults.
Having been immersed in the officialdom for many years, Wei Changfeng was a little bit embarrassed. The emperor seemed to want to reform the tax problems, but he also wanted to get rid of some aristocratic families. It was already a difficult task, but he still had to do it openly and above board. It can be said that
It’s getting harder and harder.
Thinking of this, Wei Changfeng asked strangely: "I haven't asked you yet, why did Sun An, the emperor's close servant, also go to Jingzhao Mansion?"
"Don't do it." Chu Qing was also confused: "The dead eunuch ran to Jingzhao Mansion and said that he had an imperial decree and the emperor wanted to grant him an official or something."
Looking back now, Chu Qing also found it extremely strange.
No matter how arrogant the Li family is, they can bribe the governor of Jingzhao Mansion, but they can't also bribe the prince's personal attendants.
"Given an official position?" Wei Changfeng became even more confused: "Have you met His Majesty?"
"No, I just took a look at it from a distance when I was building the Taowu Palace, and I didn't see what he looked like... I didn't see how majestic he looked."
"What's strange is that Sun An is the chief eunuch of the Internal Affairs Bureau and a close attendant of the royal pen. It must be the emperor's order that he comes to declare the imperial edict. But why should the emperor grant you an official position?"
Speaking of this, Wei Changfeng showed an expression of sudden realization and said with a smile: "It must be about the Taowu Palace. Even I saw it in the palace that day. The emperor was extremely satisfied with the Taowu Palace. Although
In my eyes, it is a bit unorthodox and violates the rules everywhere, but the emperor is very happy. By the way, he almost forgot to mention it. If he has some free time another day, he can go to my mansion and repair a bamboo leaf fan."
"Didn't you say that it was neither fish nor fowl?"
"That's right, I just want to see what is wrong with it. After understanding the details, I can teach you."
Chu Qing's face was full of admiration.
No wonder he is a shameless person even if he reaches the position of minister.
The clerk on duty ran in: "Master Wei, Mr. Chu Wensheng, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, is outside the government office. He said he was here to pick up Chu's tutor. He has been waiting for a long time."
Wei Changfeng nodded and told Chu Qing a few nonsense words about bringing extra guards with him on weekdays. The latter put on his clothes and hurried out of the government office.
Chu Wensheng and Fu San were waiting outside the door, anxious. When they saw Chu Qing running out, their father hurried up to meet him, looked him up and down, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"But I am anxious to die as a father. It's okay as long as it's okay. It's okay as long as it's okay."
Old Chu's eyes were red and he patted Chu Qing's shoulder hard.
Still patting the injured area, Chu Qing took a breath of cold air.
Lao Chu's expression changed drastically: "What's wrong? Are you injured?"
"No, I just miss you."
Chu Wensheng laughed loudly: "As a father, I also want to support my son."
Fu San laughed at the side and said: "Young master, you don't know that I was so anxious that I took people to the mansion of Jingzhao Mansion. As soon as I rushed in..."
Chu Wensheng glared at Fu San fiercely, and then the latter stopped talking.
Chu Qing's expression changed slightly: "Have you gone to see the Governor of Jingzhao Mansion?"
"Oh, I'm just asking casually." Chu Wensheng said perfunctorily: "How come the governor of Jingzhao Mansion is also a third-rank official, and his father is a mere left minister of the Ministry of Industry? He couldn't say anything, so he begged grandpa to tell grandma to find someone he knew.
The general of the army went to Mr. Ma's house, said all his good words and begged for a long time, and then Mr. Ma informed my father that you had returned to the Hubu Yamen Office."
Chu Qing's face was filled with guilt.
You can tell by looking at the old father's appearance that when he went to Ma's mansion, he must have been begging for a long time but was made things difficult by that bastard Ma Rui in every possible way.
"I will try my best not to cause you any trouble in the future. I have realized my mistake and will never let you be upset again."
Fu San on the side looked helpless.
Fortunately, Ma Rui said it too early. If he hadn't said that you were released as soon as he opened his mouth, dozens of members of the Ma family might have been cut into pieces by the master.
