In the Manna Hall, the little emperor was sitting in his seat, looking at the document in his hand, and saying words that had nothing to do with the document in his hand.
"The Criminal Department...it's time to rectify it."
His Majesty the Emperor glanced at Gao Ming and said calmly: "Since you have already come forward in this matter, it is not convenient for me to come forward. However, the matter has already come out. The Ministry of Punishment is full of loopholes and should be dealt with."
"Go see Zhao Changping and ask him to go to the Ministry of Punishments to investigate this matter."
As he said that, the emperor looked at Gao Ming.
"I'll give you an explanation."
Gao Ming quickly lowered his head and said, "I obey, my slave."
At this point, the two masters and servants in the Manlu Palace probably knew who was behind the scenes in the Punishment Department.
After all, before this, the internal guards had already noticed that people from the Criminal Department were investigating Shen Yi.
At the level of Minister Fan, he is already a real high-ranking member of the imperial court. Because of his level, Fan Dongcheng and the lady from the Zhao clan were mixed up in the past, and His Majesty the Emperor turned a blind eye and pinched his nose to pretend. I didn't see it, just because I didn't want to make things worse.
But now, in addition to the incident at Jiming Temple, the Fan family has once again provoked the palace, and it is not the descendants or relatives of Fan Shilang who are causing trouble, but Fan Shilang himself...provoking the palace.
Coincidentally, after Fan Tong completely broke up with Ganquan Academy, she began to have unclear relations with Yang Jingzong. It was indeed time to settle things.
Gao Ming nodded immediately, quickly went down and left the palace according to the emperor's instructions.
He didn't go anywhere else. After leaving the palace, he went straight to the Shen residence. In the Shen family's residence, he met Shen Yi who was studying in his brother's study.
After Shen Yi saw Eunuch Gao, the smile on his face was gone. He squeezed out a very forced smile and cupped his hands towards Eunuch Gao, which was quite a smile.
"The lower official has met Eunuch Gao."
Seeing Shen Yi's expression, Eunuch Gao raised his eyebrows: "Why didn't Shen Sizheng go to the residence to report to the department today?"
"Took a leave of absence."
Shen Yi sighed: "I'm not feeling well. I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the Di newspaper office these days."
Eunuch Gao smiled hoarsely: "We know that you feel uncomfortable."
"Don't worry, the court will give you an explanation."
Eunuch Gao looked at Shen Yi and asked, "What about Xu Fu? Take us to meet him."
Eunuch Gao spoke, and Shen Yi could only lead him to the room where Xu Fu rested. At this time, Xu Furen had woken up and was talking to Xu Xiaomei who was sitting by the bed. After Shen Yi entered the room, he coughed: "Everyone Let's all go out, Eunuch Gao from the palace is here to visit Xiao Xu."
Everyone quickly followed the instructions and left, leaving only Xu Fu, Shen Yi and Gao Ming in this house.
Xu Fu also knew that Eunuch Gao had a high status, so he struggled to sit up and salute to Eunuch Gao.
Eunuch Gao shook his head slightly and said, "You're welcome, just lie down."
Xu Fu still sat up, bowed his head to Gao Ming and said, "Young people have met Eunuch Gao."
Gao Ming nodded slightly and sat beside Xu Fu's bed. He looked at Xu Fu for a few times and asked, "Do you have any family members at home?"
Xu Fu was silent for a while, shook his head and said: "Back to my father-in-law, when I was seven or eight years old, there was no one left in the family, only Xiaomin himself."
Eunuch Gao nodded slightly.
"He is a miserable child."
He lowered his eyebrows and said, "Our family had a hard life back then, and we had no choice, so we threw ourselves into the palace. Now we can no longer find our family members."
Eunuch Gao raised his head and looked at Xu Fu.
"We have hit it off, so you can be our nephew."
Hearing his words, Xu Fu's expression changed slightly. He first looked up at Shen Yi and saw Shen Yi frowning. Xu Fu thought about it and gritted his teeth and said, "Father, my surname is Xu, and I don't want to change my surname..."
"It doesn't matter."
Gao Ming said calmly: "Our family's original surname is not Gao. Who would want to taint their own surname when they join the palace?"
He looked calm and said, "Although our family's original surname is not Xu, from now on, our family's original surname will be Xu."
He looked at Xu Fu with no expression on his face: "We are exactly one generation apart in age. From now on, you are our nephew."
He looked at Xu Fu and asked, "How?"
Xu Fu swallowed his saliva.
He raised his head and glanced at Shen Yi again. Shen Yi had been listening to the whole process. He seemed to have figured out something now and nodded slightly to Xu Fu.
Xu Fu no longer hesitated and stood up to kowtow to Gao Ming.
Shen Yi walked to the bed and helped him up from the bed. Xu Fu endured the pain in his body, knelt down with difficulty, and lowered his head to Gao Ming: "Nephew... pay homage to uncle."
"Eh."
Eunuch Gao responded with a smile, then stretched out his hand to help Xu Fu up, helped him sit back on the bed, and said with a smile: "I am in the palace, and I don't know how many godsons and grandsons there are, but none of them are like you. This sound is pleasant to my uncle's ears."
Speaking of this, Eunuch Gao sighed with emotion: "From now on, we are uncles and nephews."
After saying this, Eunuch Gao took out a kit from his arms, handed it to Xu Fu's hand, and said with a smile: "This is a meeting gift from my uncle. You should rest well until you feel better..."
Gao Ming looked at Shen Yi and continued, "I'll ask Shen Sizheng to bring you to me."
Xu Fu stretched out his hand to take it with some fear.
After saying a few words of thanks, Shen Yi and Gao Mingcai left the room where Shen Yi rested one after another.
After leaving the room, Shen Yi stood behind Gao Ming, thoughtfully: "Father-in-law, is Your Majesty going to deal with the Criminal Department?"
"What does this matter have to do with Your Majesty?"
Gao Ming turned around and glanced at Shen Yi with an expressionless expression: "The people in the Punishment Department do not follow the rules and bully the common people. They almost beat people to death in the Punishment Department prison. It's okay if they bully others, but now they have bullied our own family. On my nephew."
He snorted coldly: "Now, our family wants to touch the Ministry of Punishment!"
After that, the eunuch left with his hands behind his back.
Before getting on the sedan chair, the eunuch looked back at Shen Yi and said calmly: "It won't be long before everyone in Jiankang City will know that Xu Fu is our nephew. Shen Si is about to have a mentality." Prepare."
Hearing this, Shen Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart!
Xu Fu was definitely a blessing in disguise this time!
After a beating, I got a "relative uncle" who had great power in the court!
This is a great opportunity!
He nodded slightly: "I understand."
…………
After Gao Ming recognized his nephew in the Shen family, he went to Zhao Shilang's house without stopping and gave an overview of what happened in the Ministry of Justice. Then he bowed his head slightly to Zhao Changping and said: "This matter in the Ministry of Justice blatantly violates the rules of the court. , to open eyes for traitors..."
"Zhao Shangshu cannot sit idly by and ignore this."
Having said this, he sighed: "It's a shame to say that our family is a member of the inner court, and we should not get involved in the affairs of the outer court. However, the Xu Fu who was killed by the Ministry of Punishment this time was our nephew... "
At this point, Gao Ming stopped talking.
Zhao Changping took the document handed over by Gao Ming, which probably contained the history of this incident. After reading it once, he said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, father-in-law, Zhao will definitely submit a letter to the Ministry of Punishments!"
Gao Ming let out a long sigh, cupped his hands to Zhao Shangshu and said, "Thank you, Zhao Shangshu, for extending your hand."
"Our family can't thank you enough."
…
The next day, the memorial from the Ministry of Punishment flew into the Zhongshu Council Hall like snowflakes.
