Bai Yu'an's words immediately left Yin Yanguan speechless.
Originally, it is your freedom to participate, but it is your fault to involve others.
Since you want to be a bitch, don't blame him for the pain.
In this way, Li Hui also seized the opportunity and asked the question again, leaving Yin Yanguan Wen alone and helpless, making him an outcast in this court game.
In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that if Li Hui brought this matter to the court, the most that the emperor could do was to warn Gu Huai and then ask him to apologize to Li Hui, and then the matter would be over. The emperor would still have to go to court if he was interested.
She scolded Li Hui for being petty, but that didn't concern anyone else.
However, the authorities were confused and Yin Yanguan took the initiative to send him to the door. So Zhou Fang cannot be blamed for seizing the opportunity to remove the censor Yanguan so that the emperor could be replaced with someone he likes.
The final result of the matter was that Gu Huai apologized and fined Cheng Xue half a year's salary, which was regarded as the Gu family's apology. As for the censor Yin, he was directly demoted to the northwest of Chuyang County as the county magistrate and set off immediately.
He was demoted from the third rank to the seventh rank, and was demoted from the prosperous capital city to the desolate northwest. The gap in between was not a small one. As for whether Master Yin regrets it, only he knows for himself.
Yan Yunchen scolded Li Hui lightly, and the matter was settled.
After the interlude, the main meal was ready to be served. The Minister of Rites participated in the performance in front of the court, so Yan Yunchen, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately seized the opportunity and sent someone to deal with the matter strictly.
The guards steal, steal and replace others, and line their own pockets...
One after another, each one is a major crime that implicates the nine tribes. But after all, they are relatives of the emperor. It is impossible for the nine tribes to survive, but their lineage cannot be preserved at all.
The matter was handed over to Zhou Fang from the Ministry of Personnel, Xu Qing from the Ministry of Punishment, and Xiao Qinglin from the Ministry of Rites to jointly investigate and deal with it.
Anyone with a discerning eye would know the backgrounds of these three people at a glance, so the other aristocratic families in the court were anxious to return home, so they wanted to go to court quickly and go home to investigate for themselves.
Following the words of Eunuch Fuyong, "Retreat - to the court -", all the civil and military officials left one after another.
Li Hui specially came to Gu Huai's side and reminded him in a normal volume:
"Sir Gu, today I am resting and staying at home with my wife to wait for your apology and apology from you and your wife."
Gu Huai was furious, but he didn't dare to yell at him, so he could only squeeze out the word "Okay" through his teeth as a response.
When it comes to irritating people, Li Hui modestly calls himself "second" while no one dares to call himself "first".
He shook his head and hummed and left, almost making Gu Huai's nose become angry.
Xu Enyang had been waiting outside. When he saw Li Hui coming out, he came forward with a smile. He planned to go to the Royal Garden together, but he didn't expect that this man actually handed over the important work of replacement to him, and he became the hands-off shopkeeper himself.
"...Why are you looking at me like that? I really have something to do, not just lazy."
"Sir, you are always there to keep an eye on me, but I suddenly go over by myself. This... this is not appropriate."
"There is nothing inappropriate. You are my subordinate. If I have something to do and I can't go, it's only natural for you to go. Don't worry, you just need to do your job well and don't worry about anything else."
After Li Hui finished speaking, he strode away without paying any attention to Xu Enyang's picky look on his face.
After leaving the palace and getting on the carriage, he seemed to have known the people in the carriage for a long time. Da CiCi sat down and said:
"He is actually very capable, but he is so protected by you that he is too lazy to do it."
"You know that's not why I'm here."
Li Hui nodded obediently and said with a smile:
"I know, but the time is not yet ripe now. I will definitely invite you over for dinner after the martial arts exam is over. My wife's craftsmanship is very good. When the time comes..."
"Are you really willing to let her cook?"
Li Hui shrugged and said proudly:
"You don't understand this. It's not that I don't want to part with it, it just depends on whether she wants to. She likes to cook, why should I stop her from doing so? After the martial arts test, go to my villa and I will buy a dog.
Let’s roast the sheep and eat it.”
Seeing his "used to it" look, Xu Qing finally nodded.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. If we really find out what happened back then..."
"Just send someone to notify you, we will be on standby at any time."
"OK."
After Xu Qing finished speaking, he knocked on the car and the carriage "squeaked...squeaked..." and left the palace.
It was nothing new that Gu Huai and his wife came home to apologize that day, but the apology was beyond imagination. It was agreed that it would be half a year's salary, but they didn't expect that it would include a lot of jewelry, fabrics, and utensils.
Li Hui and Cheng Xue were not polite. After accepting everything, they refused to spread the news the next day. They said, "Except for half a year's salary, everything else was converted into supplies and sent to the North, Northwest, South Xinjiang, East China Sea and other places."
garrison barracks".
Suddenly, the Li family's reputation soared, and Gu Huai's nose almost became crooked.
With a "bang" sound, he threw the teacup on the ground, slapped the table and yelled:
"Su, you said that as long as they accept it, their reputation will be ruined. Is this how your reputation will be ruined? Ah——"
Mrs. Gu also didn't expect that Li Hui and his wife could be so "selfless". She bit her lower lip in grievance and slightly twitched the corners of her mouth in defense:
"Master, this is really an accident. Think about it, who would throw things and money out! I haven't sent anything to the North in the past two years, and she is unwilling. How could I know that she is just pretending!"
"How do you know, how do you know, then what do you know?!"
Gu Huai's head was "buzzing" with anger. He was obviously at the same level as Xu Qing, but now he was marginalized by the Ministry of Punishment and had been staying at home for several days without anyone paying attention.
When did this situation begin to appear? How did it end up like this?
Mrs. Gu was also aggrieved. She was obviously the "First Lady of the Capital", respected by her husband, valued by her husband's family, loved by her natal family, and even the ladies in the rich circle regarded her as the only one who respected her. But now she not only lost her status, it seemed that she was about to lose her status.
I can no longer keep my reputation as the "First Lady of Beijing".
Gu Huai was still about to have an attack, so Chang Sui came in in a hurry and said eagerly:
"Master, the old man is not very good. Please go over and take a look."
When Gu Huai heard this, he stood up immediately, then glared at his wife fiercely and strode out of the house.
At this moment, he really regretted that he should not have listened to his father-in-law and drugged his father. If his father was still healthy, the court would always be able to help him, instead of being like a headless fly with no goal like now.
of rampage.
After walking a few steps out of the yard, he suddenly stopped and said:
"Go to the Su Mansion and ask my father-in-law to come over. Just tell me something's up."
Chang responded with a "yes", but when he came back after burning the incense, he was alone.
"Master, the steward of the Su Mansion said that the old man is ill and cannot come over."
Gu Huai, who was waiting in front of the bed, heard this and smashed the medicine bowl in his hand on the ground...
