Ning Wei knew very well that the collapse of the Imperial Academy had exposed Liu Boxue's shameless behavior in broad daylight, allowing people to see his sanctimonious face.
I'm afraid this matter won't simply go away.
Although she didn't understand what was going on in the court, she had a vague feeling that a storm was coming.
Ning Wei's mind was in a mess. In order to calm down, Ning Wei picked up the account book on the table and looked at it.
She had just finished reading an account when Zaohua came in and said, "Miss, sir, they are back.
"Oh? So fast!" Ning Wei said as she looked up at the hourglass on the chest of drawers. It only took more than half an hour before Hu Rui and the others came back.
"Where are the people?" Ning Wei asked.
Zaohua replied: "I went to wash up and change clothes. The husband said he would come to see the lady later."
"I know." After saying that, Ning Wei continued to look at the accounts, and picked up a pen to mark those that had been checked.
"Miss, it's destined to be a sleepless night in Prime Minister Liu's Mansion today." Hu Rui said to Ning Wei behind the desk as he entered the room.
Hu Rui's voice was cheerful. Ning Wei raised her head and looked at Hu Rui, "Oh, how do you say this?"
Hu Rui walked straight to the desk, put his hands on the desk, looked at Ning Wei, and did not answer her question directly, but said: "Miss, I didn't go with you tonight. It's a pity to miss such a big show."
.”
Ning Wei's curiosity was aroused by Hu Rui, and she asked: "What's the big show?"
"Miss, guess what did we see when we arrived at Prime Minister Liu's Mansion?" Hu Rui looked at Ning Wei with bright eyes and asked.
Ning Wei put down the account book in her hand, leaned back, and asked, "What did you see?"
Hu Rui stood up straight, sat down on the desk, and said with excitement: "I thought it was too early to make a move at that point.
Who would have thought that when we arrived, Prime Minister Liu’s mansion would already be surrounded by people.
Miss, you haven't seen it. That scene is comparable to going to a temple fair during the New Year, people are bumping into each other, there are people everywhere.
What is different from temple fairs is that temple fairs are very festive.
People were very angry at tonight's scene. Some people threw excrement water at the prime minister's house, some threw pig blood, some threw rotten eggs and torn vegetable leaves.
Oh my god, there are so many things thrown away. People are throwing them and cursing them, and they have been scolded by all the ancestors of the Liu family for eight generations.
It wasn't until the troops from the Military and Horse Division came and drove away the people surrounding Xiang Liu's mansion that the people dispersed."
Ning Wei's heart was high as she thought about such a scene. She didn't expect that this matter would cause such a big disturbance, and even people from the Military and Horse Department would be dispatched.
In the previous life, after Liu Jijiu's affair was exposed, he was impeached by the Yushitai. Under pressure, Liu Jijiu resigned due to illness. Later, the matter was settled.
Today's incident caused such a big fuss. How many incidents will happen next? How will Prime Minister Liu's Mansion respond?
How will Prince Chen's Mansion, Prince Yan's Mansion, and Chengqian Palace respond? What is the emperor's attitude? What will the East Palace do when the opportunity arises?
Ning Wei had a lot of questions in her mind and asked: "Where is Uncle Wei? Is he back?"
Hu Rui shook his head, "I don't know, but we got separated after we got to the north of the city.
I took Ruoqing and others to throw excrement. I wonder where Wei took Wanping and others to where they went?
I just asked the concierge, and the concierge said that Old Wei and the others have not returned home yet."
Ning Wei asked: "Where is Qingsong? Will he be with you?"
"We were still together at first, but then we separated at some point, and Qingsong never came back," Hu Rui said.
Ning Wei stood up and walked to the window, opened the window and looked outside, murmuring: "Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night."
Hu Rui nodded, "Yes, what do you plan to do next?"
Ning Wei looked up at the dark night sky and said: "We have already started, but from now on, all parties will end up.
There is nothing we can do and we can live our lives in peace and contentment.
The husband asked Ruoqing and the others to take a rest early, and let's go to Dongshui Pier early tomorrow morning.
The last batch of grain this year will arrive tomorrow and tomorrow. Uncle Liu and Uncle Shi have returned to Beijing. I will go pick them up."
Hu Rui bowed and said, "Yes, I understand."
After Hu Rui left, Ning Wei said to Zaohua: "When Uncle Wei comes back, ask him to come to the study to see me."
Zaohua bent her knees and responded, "Yes, I understand."
Prime Minister Liu's Mansion, Prime Minister Liu was so angry that he was spinning around in the book.
A servant held his breath and entered the room with his heart in his heart. He bowed timidly and said: "Mr. Xiang, the eldest sir is awake."
Just after the report was finished, another servant hurriedly came in and reported: "Master Prime Minister, the people from the Military and Horse Division have arrived and dispersed the people who were surrounding you."
Liu Xiang stopped, turned around and looked at the servant who came in first to report, and asked in a deep voice: "What did the doctor say? Is that evildoer in danger of his life?"
The servant hurriedly leaned forward and replied: "Back to the prime minister, the doctor said that the elder has injured his brain and spine. He may not be able to straighten his back in the future..."
Without waiting for the servant to finish speaking, Liu Xiang grabbed the cup on the table and threw it at the servant, cursing: "You who don't understand, I ask you if your life is in danger with that evil barrier?"
The servant was hit by a cup, and blood was flowing down from his forehead, but he didn't dare to reach out and wipe it away. He quickly knelt down and said, "This slave deserves to die. Please punish me. The doctor said that my life is not in danger."
Second Master Liu, Deputy Privy Councilor Liu Zhongxue, who was standing aside, bowed and said: "Father, please calm down, don't get angry."
Liu Xiang looked at his second son, took a deep breath, walked behind the desk, sat down, and said to the servant who was kneeling on the ground: "Since the evildoer is awake, let him kneel at the gate of the palace tomorrow morning to apologize."
Master Liu Er heard this and stopped him: "Father, no!"
Liu Xiang looked at Liu Zhongxue and asked, "Why not?
Do you know what he committed? As a minister of the Imperial Academy, he did such an immoral, despicable and dirty thing. Shouldn't he plead guilty?"
Master Liu Er leaned forward and said, "Father, calm down first.
This matter is indeed my brother's fault. My brother has betrayed the emperor's trust and should apologize.
However, my father also saw what happened today.
The people's resentment towards my brother is extremely deep. My father letting my brother go out at this time is undoubtedly putting my brother in danger, and my son is worried about his life."
Liu Xiang closed his eyes slightly and said frustratedly: "Then what do you think we should do about this matter?"
Mr. Liu Er thought for a while and said: "Let's just say to the outside world that my brother has not woken up yet and is still in a coma. We will wait until he has recovered for a few days.
In this way, we can not only wait for the emperor to calm down, but also check the person behind it."
Liu Xiang opened his eyes and looked at his second son, and said to his servants: "Please step aside first!"
After the servants left, Liu Xiang asked: "Looking at the people behind the scenes, do you mean that this matter is man-made?"
When the question came out, Liu Xiang suddenly woke up. Without waiting for his second son to reply, he nodded slightly and murmured to himself: "This matter is indeed not simple.
Last night, several Tao brothers were injured, and today there was another incident in the Imperial College. A series of things happened one after another. It was definitely not an accident, but someone did it deliberately.
This is a man-made disaster! How did you think of it?"
