When he left Shuijing'er Hutong, Hu Xiaotian's joy at being promoted had completely dissipated, and his somewhat dazed mind became clear again. This heart-to-heart conversation with his father made him realize that the situation of Dakang
Nothing has changed because of this palace change, and the situation of their father and son has not fundamentally changed. The old emperor's return to power may not mean anything good for the Hu family.
Hu Xiaotian asked the coachman to take him to Dongmenwai Street where Baofengtang is located. He is now living in Fuxi Inn, which is very close to Baofengtang. Although Baofengtang also has a place for him to live, Hu Xiaotian just wanted to cover up others.
He made this choice to prevent others from noticing the relationship between him and Baofengtang.
When they came to the door, the door opened from the inside. Huo Shengnan came out with a concerned look on his face and said in surprise: "Are you back?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded, walked into the room and closed the door behind his back.
Seeing his attire, Huo Shengnan knew that he should have successfully solved all the problems when he went to the palace this time. He said softly: "Looking at your arrogance, you should have been rewarded by the imperial court."
Hu Xiaotian nodded happily and said: "Not only was I awarded a reward, but I was also given the position of deputy commander of the Imperial Guard."
Huo Shengnan blinked and said, "Isn't that the same official position as Shi Kuan?" Shi Kuan is the leader of Dayong's Golden Scale Guard.
Hu Xiaotian said: "It's half a level short, but I can't insert much."
Huo Shengnan said: "I didn't expect that your Dakang family is so special that you actually let a eunuch serve as the commander of the bodyguards."
Hu Xiaotian was furious at her words: "Who do you think is the eunuch?"
Huo Shengnan glanced at him, and at this moment, silence was better than sound.
Hu Xiaotian pointed out the five-color dragon gold medal around his waist to her, then he lifted up his hem and sat on the Grand Master's chair in an extremely cool manner, crossed his legs, and said with a proud smile: "I never told you in the past. I am a monk.
The emperor pretended to be an eunuch and entered the palace to collect evidence that Ji Feihua usurped power and rebelled. Now that he has retired, the emperor has officially issued an order to restore my freedom. I am a man! From today on, I will be that upright man again!
"
Huo Shengnan spat: "What's so great? Anyway, you can't deny that you were all eunuchs in the past!"
Hu Xiaotian was choked by her, nodded, and suppressed a vicious sentence: "You have seen it with your own eyes and touched it with your own hands. There is nothing I can do if you don't admit it."
Huo Shengnan's pretty face turned red, and he was about to become angry from embarrassment.
Hu Xiaotian quickly sued for peace: "What, let's not talk about my ***, there are still important things to deal with."
Although Huo Shengnan suffered a loss in terms of words, she also understood that even if the bickering continued, she would still have to be defeated. She had no choice but to compare to his shamelessness and vulgarity, so she glared at Hu Xiaotian and said: "You have something to do, I'm not interested.
"
"There has to be a helper..."
"Fuck me!" Huo Shengnan was so angry that he couldn't help but explode.
Hu Xiaotian glanced at her perky buttocks.
Huo Shengnan quickly twisted his body: "What are you looking at?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Follow me to the Punishment Department. It's time to get our family's things back."
In the afternoon of that day, Hu Xiaotian first sent the ashes of Princess Anping to the palace, and then went to the Ministry of Punishment with Huo Shengnan to go through the procedures for taking back the property that had been seized. Hu Xiaotian took the directory of the property that had been seized and looked at it. In fact, he was just pretending.
, he didn’t know exactly how much property he had at home. He asked the official, “All of them are here?”
The official smiled and said: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, they are all here."
Hu Xiaotian waved the inspection list in front of the official's eyes: "It's such a thin book, I feel like our Hu family has more than just this."
The official said: "Your Majesty, the subordinates are responsible for collecting statistics and treasury according to the inspection list. As for counting the property and registering the list, it is not within the jurisdiction of the subordinates. When the inspection of your house was carried out, the person in the household department was responsible for registering the inspection list.
of."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Who is responsible?"
The official said: "I remember it should be Mr. Xu Zhengying, the current Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs!"
Hearing Xu Zhengying's name, Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but feel angry. In the past, Xu Zhengying was just his father's subordinate, and he tried his best to flatter himself, but later his father was in trouble. Xu Zhengying not only took the opportunity to take over, but also
He also betrayed himself, and the account has not been settled with him until now. Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "Okay!"
The official said: "Master Hu has seen the list and if there are no problems, please sign and stamp it. I will immediately send someone to sort out the things and return them to the house."
Hu Xiaotian picked up the brush and dipped it in thick ink, wrote his name on the receipt, pressed his fingerprint, grabbed the key to the door of Hu's house, turned around and walked away.
Huo Shengnan followed Hu Xiaotian and ran all the way to the House of Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue. He got off his horse in front of the gate, but saw that there was still a seal on the door. Hu Xiaotian came to the door and tore off the seal, took out the key and unlocked the door.
The iron lock was wide open, and the gate of Hu Mansion, which had been closed for many years, finally slowly opened. Looking up, the courtyard was overgrown with grass, and it no longer looked as neat and elegant as it used to be. The eaves and corridors were covered with cobwebs and dust, and the corners of the road were covered with
Vine moss.
Huo Shengnan couldn't help but sigh when he looked at such a large mansion: "I'm afraid it will take a long time to clean up such a large mansion, right?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Thank you for your hard work!"
Huo Shengnan blinked and protested: "Why me?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "If you stay here and live and eat for free, you have to pay a little bit, right?"
"Who said I'm going to live here?" The reason why Huo Shengnan came to Kangdu with Hu Xiaotian was not because she was worried that he would encounter danger on the road. She had originally completed her mission after arriving in Kangdu safely, but she couldn't.
As soon as he left, he was worried that Hu Xiaotian would be punished by the Dakang court for Princess Anping, so he stayed to wait for the result. Now it was confirmed that Hu Xiaotian was not punished but was rewarded and promoted. Huo Shengnan told himself in his heart that it was time to leave.
At that time, from then on, I wandered around the world without worries, but when I think of this incident, I feel hard to let go.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Are you really planning to travel around the world?"
Huo Shengnan nodded and said, "Of course!"
Hu Xiaotian looked at her with true feelings in his eyes: "Sheng Nan, don't leave. What will I do if you leave?"
Huo Shengnan's pretty face turned hot and he bit his lips and said, "Shameless, what do you have to do with me?"
Hu Xiaotian was about to tease her a few words, but he heard a voice of surprise coming from outside: "Master! Master! We are here!" Hu Xiaotian looked up and saw a group of people rushing towards this side and entering the gate.
, the group of people knelt down one by one. Hu Xiaotian could see clearly that these people were all their former servants of the Hu Mansion. The two headed by them were Li Jinhao and Ho Fo. These two people had also escorted him to Qingyun, Xichuan, and all the way to Pengyin Mountain.
When I just returned, the one who screamed the loudest but was the last was the big fat Liang Dazhuang. After not seeing him for a while, this guy seemed to be more lively than before, and he seemed to be living a very nourishing life after leaving the care of the Hu family.
Liang Dazhuang gasped and squeezed through the crowd, and knelt down in front of Hu Xiaotian with a plop: "Dazhuang kowtows to the young master! Dazhuang treats the young master like three autumns after not seeing him for one day. He looks forward to it in the morning and at night, and sheds tears all day long. As the saying goes, for you
It makes people look haggard, and their belts get wider and wider, but they don’t regret it anymore. This poem is a true portrayal of Dazhuang.”
When Hu Xiaotian heard that he was flattering him, he became very angry. He even chatted with himself and said with a smile: "Dazhuang, you have made great progress, but I don't see you becoming haggard. Instead, you are getting fat."
Ear? Obviously he has a big heart and a fat body."
Liang Dazhuang complained endlessly: "Master, Dazhuang's body bones are all given by his parents. Even if I drink cold water, I will gain weight. There is really nothing I can do."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Let's all get up!"
The group of Hu Fu's former family members then stood up. Ho Fu was mature and prudent. Hu Xiaotian called him in front of him and asked them how they knew he was coming back.
Hoover smiled and said: "The news was passed down from above. It was said that King Yongyang personally gave the order to let us old people from the Hu Mansion come back to help organize the mansion and serve the young master. I received the order and summoned some people from the former mansion.
When the old man came back, he sent someone to wait here for the young master. When he saw the young master coming, we rushed over."
Hu Xiaotian secretly thought that although Qiqi was very young, he still had a heart. He knew that it would be useless to return the Hu Mansion to him without anyone to take care of him, so he specially notified his former servants. Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "It's rare that you have a heart.
, Hoover, you all should perform your duties and clean up and down the mansion. When everything is tidy and tidy, I can take my parents back to live there."
Hoover responded, and the servants of the Hu Mansion were all beaming with joy. Before the disaster in the Hu Mansion, Hu Buwei had the foresight to dismiss these servants and send them home in advance, so not many were really implicated. Hu Buwei passed by
He has always been tolerant and generous in his treatment of his servants, so most of the servants of the Hu family are thinking about the benefits of the Hu family. Now that they heard that the Hu family has been appointed by the imperial court again, they naturally come to apply after hearing the news. Many people will come back in the next two days.
.
Hu Xiaotian called Hoover and Liang Dazhuang over and asked them if the Hu family had any inventory of property in the past. He also handed the book from the Ministry of Punishment to Liang Dazhuang and asked him to find the inventory of the past accounting rooms and compare them to see if the Hu family was raided.
Did any officials take the opportunity to embezzle their family property? It’s not that Hu Xiaotian was careless, this kind of thing is too common. And the facts proved that Hu Xiaotian’s suspicion was not unnecessary. The Ministry of Punishment returned the Hu family’s property with one-third of the former value.
None, and most of the items, including the antique calligraphy and paintings collected by Hu Mansion, were not on the list provided by the Ministry of Punishments.
Hu Xiaotian was sure that his family property had been embezzled during the inspection, and he couldn't help but became furious. For these officials who fished in troubled waters and benefited from the public good for their own personal gain, this time he must get back his capital and profits.
