However, Hong Zhou reported this matter to Yinzhen, which made Yinzhen very unhappy. He reprimanded Hongli and asked him to be more careful in the future and not to make any mistakes again, otherwise he would be severely punished.
Hongli, who had always had the will of the Holy Spirit, was so disgraced and embarrassed this time that he couldn't help but explain that he had read it carefully at the time and was not mistaken, and that he did not know why he made the mistake.
This time, they would naturally hear it as his excuse. Only a few people knew what was going on. After the court came down that day, Hong Zhou entered the study from the back door of the Duke's Mansion. Yingge had already
Waiting there, when she saw him coming in, she quickly raised her hands and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Master Beile, you are really angry."
Hong Zhou sat down in the chair and said with some annoyance: "It's a pity that it was too hasty and we could only do this. Otherwise, if the results of all the official assessments were messed up, that would be great!"
"As long as Mr. Wu Beile has this idea, are you afraid that there will be no chance?" After Hongzhou followed his words and acted as Hongli's envoy, Yingge became much less wary of him, and then said: "By the way, I don't know.
Is Fourth Brother suspicious of Lord Baylor?"
Hong Zhou glanced at him calmly and said, "Probably not. I was very careful at the time."
Yingge clapped his hands and said with joy: "That's good. The official assessment will not be completed until several months. Mr. Baylor has many opportunities, but this time he can't let anyone discover it again. The bigger the mistake the fourth brother makes, the right
The better for us.”
Hong Zhou casually took the kumquats on the plate and tossed them up and down, saying, "Is it better for me or for you, Lord Yingge?"
Yingge heard something was wrong and quickly said with a smile: "Master Baylor, what do you mean? We are all in the same boat. There is no difference between you and me. You still don't believe me now, right?"
Hong Zhou glanced at him sideways and said in a strange way: "Originally, I really believed that you were deliberately forming an alliance with me, but since the first day of the Lunar New Year, you said that your second brother had made great achievements in Henan and would return to Beijing in a month.
I'm not sure. Sir Inge, are you using me as a gun user? After using it, you throw it as far as you want, and you even want to stamp your feet so that I will never have a chance to stand up again.
"
Yingge was startled, then smiled and said: "Look what Mr. Baylor said. If I have this intention, I will be struck by lightning and die badly. Besides, if Mr. Baylor can't stand up, then I won't
Is it also miserable?”
Hong Zhou sneered and said: "How can you be so miserable? There is also the second brother. He will return to the court with meritorious service this time. He must be very proud. When the time comes, he will protect your uncle, and it will be too late to be proud!"
Yingge didn't expect that Hongzhou would think of this job, but he was so cunning, but in the blink of an eye he thought of an excuse, sat down next to Hongzhou and said: "Master Baylor, where did you think of this? How could I be like this?"
Such an ungrateful person. Besides, what if the second elder brother comes back? We are already strangers to him, how can he protect us anymore? After all, everything still depends on Lord Beile."
Hong Zhou was a good chess piece that he used to deal with Hong Li. How could he be willing to abandon this useful chess piece before Hong Li could make a comeback?
Ying Ge regards Hong Zhou as a chess piece, but little does he know that Hong Zhou also sees him as a chess piece. They are both using each other. The only difference is that Ying Ge is in the light and Hong Zhou is in the dark.
"Really?" Without waiting for Yingge to nod, Hong Zhou said again: "How can there be an overnight feud between relatives? After all, he is also your nephew. If you really didn't intend to ignore him, you would have done it when he was in prison.
I won’t make a special trip to see him. You’ll have to take care of him in person in the future.
He took it out." At this point, Hong Zhou suddenly tightened his hand and trapped the kumquat he was playing with in his fingers, letting the juice flow down his fingers, "Yingge, if you want
If you use me to pave the way for your second brother, then you have made the wrong calculation."
Yingge said without changing his expression: "Master Baylor, you really misunderstood. I told you that I didn't have this intention. Why don't you believe me? Yes, I went to visit the second elder brother. As you said, there is no relationship between relatives."
Although they are not biological uncles and nephews, they have feelings for each other after so many years, but the second elder brother is against the emperor.
The stepmother misunderstood deeply and couldn't listen to the explanation at all. She was also very cold towards me and didn't care about family ties at all. It's really sad. How can you think of such a cold and cold person again? So from that time
After that, I had no contact with him, and I didn’t know what was going on with him in Henan. I didn’t know until the first day of the Lunar New Year.”
Hong Zhou looked at him doubtfully, "Really?"
"Now that we have reached this point, do you think it would be interesting if I lied to Mr. Baylor again?" Saying this, Yingge shook his head and said: "If Mr. Baylor really doesn't believe it, I can't do anything about it. Maybe God wants the fourth brother to gain power. I don't know.
By then, there will still be room for my Nala clan in the court."
Hong Zhou stared at him and said, "Is everything you said true?"
Yingge said helplessly: "I have said all I have said. If Lord Baylor believes it, please continue to stay and seek great things. Otherwise, just forget everything I said to you."
Hong Zhou said those words just to test Yingge's attitude, but now he has a rough idea in his mind. Naturally, he will give up as soon as he sees fit and won't just walk away like this. Otherwise, wouldn't all the things he did before have been in vain?
?
"It's not that I don't believe Mr. Inge, it's just that the second brother's matter really makes me uneasy. If I offended you with my words just now, I hope you won't take it to heart."
Seeing that his attitude softened, Yingge said quickly: "It's natural. If I were replaced by Mr. Baylor, I'm afraid I would be worried. It's better to talk about it now, so as to save Mr. Baylor from always having a thorn in your heart."
Hong Zhou threw down the kumquat in his hand and said: "Okay, since we have to continue to cooperate in the future, then I will open the skylight and speak frankly. I am not enough for the fourth child, even if I really find a chance to mess with his hands.
I'm afraid that what the officials here are testing is not enough to give him a fatal blow, so I need Sir Yingge to think of a way to see if we can do both, and this is also the time for Sir Yingge to show his sincerity."
Ying Ge understood that Hong Zhou was forcing him to take action. Ying Ge did not want to get involved in the drama of their brothers' fight. After all, if he took action, he would take corresponding risks. It was far better to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger.
Dou was so comfortable. But he finally calmed Hong Zhou down. If he suddenly refused now, he would probably make Hong Zhou dissatisfied.
After thinking carefully for a while, he said: "Master Baylor is absolutely right, but if you don't do something like this, you have to hit it with one hit, so you have to let me think about it carefully."
