Separating from the two spy chiefs, Yang Rong went straight to the Penal Department Yamen.
Li Guan, the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, was an old friend of Yang Rong. Hearing that he had returned to Beijing, he hurriedly welcomed him out in person and invited him into the custody room. After having tea and reminiscing about old times, he asked: "You haven't gone to see the prince yet, have you?"
?”
Yang Rong smiled and nodded.
"Then just come to me, I'm sure nothing will happen." Li Guan smiled bitterly and said, "You won't let me wipe the butts of Wang Xian and Ji Gang."
Yang Rong smiled and nodded again.
"It's really..." Li Guan sighed depressedly: "This is really a fight between gods and the devil will suffer."
"You are a dignified minister of the Ministry of Justice, but you call yourself a kid? Isn't it too presumptuous to belittle yourself?" Yang Rong said with a smile.
"The big one and the small one are not judged by their rank, but by their abilities. Compared with the old and the young, I consider myself a kid from the bottom of my heart." Li Guan said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I really admire Wang Xian.
In just over half a year, we were able to completely separate Beizhen Fusi from Jinyiwei and compete with that old ghost Ji Gang. This ability is unique in the world."
"That he is capable is one thing." Yang Rong said lightly: "But more importantly, Ji Gang's troubles are really outrageous. The emperor needs someone to check and balance him."
"That's not something that ordinary people can stand up to. Anyway, I am very convinced." Li Guan praised and said seriously: "I know what you want me to do, but to be honest, I don't want to swim in this muddy water."
"I'm just asking you to temporarily accept those ghosts and monsters," Yang Rong said with a smile, "I'm not asking you to go to trial."
"It's okay." Li Guan still wanted to give Yang Rong this bit of face, and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll do it for your sake." After deciding the matter, Li Guan asked softly: "Your Majesty, this is
I sent you here this time, I’m afraid it’s not just to investigate that case.”
"Why do you say that?" Yang Rong said.
"What's there to investigate in that case? It's obvious that it's all lice on a bald man's head." Li Guandao said, "If it's just for this matter, would the Emperor be willing to let your right-hand man go south?"
"Haha..." Yang Rong smiled and said: "Actually, it's not a secret. It doesn't hurt to tell you. I do have a mission here, which is to supervise His Highness the Crown Prince's rectification of banknote laws in the capital."
"This is a big pit." Li Guandao: "What kind of rectification method?"
"Gold and silver are prohibited." Yang Rong said word by word.
"Ah" Li Guan said in surprise: "Are you kidding?"
"Am I kidding?" Yang Rong said with a bitter smile: "I was so worried along the way that I had to throw my orders to His Highness every time I didn't have any countermeasures. Even if His Highness didn't say anything, he would complain in his heart that I was too ruthless.
of."
"Then you have thought of a way?" Li Guandao.
"No." Yang Rong shook his head and said: "The treasure banknotes have been abandoned by the people. Gold and silver are the real wealth of the people. What the prince wants to do now is to steal people's money. No matter how much the people loved him originally, once this incident happened
, everyone will definitely look at it with hatred, and it will cause big trouble if it doesn’t happen.”
"Yes, this matter cannot be solved by mortals. Only gods can solve it." Li Guandao.
"Where can I find the gods?" Yang Rong glanced at Li Guan complainingly, and he even said witty words to me at this time.
"There are still gods. Didn't you meet one today?" Li Guan said with a smile.
"You mean...Wang Xian?" Yang Rong said.
"Who else could it be if it wasn't him?" Li Guandao said: "There were two immortals in the Ming Dynasty, an old immortal named Yao Guangxiao and a young immortal named Wang Zhongde. It would be better if you can move the old immortal, otherwise you can only count on the little immortal.
God. If he says there is nothing he can do, then there is probably nothing he can do."
"Although I think highly of him, this matter is really beyond human control." Yang Rong said with a bitter smile.
"Don't rush to conclusions. Ask the little god first." Li Guan said with a smile, "Maybe he can find a way."
"Hey, I can only treat a dead horse as a living doctor." Yang Rong sighed helplessly.
After people from the Ministry of Punishment took away the big boss, the Jinyiwei people withdrew. Wang Xian also returned to the Zhenfu Division with his men and announced a three-day holiday. He was relaxing in civil and military ways, and his men were already holding back in the camp.
If you wait too long, problems will arise over time. Now that Yang Rong, the imperial envoy, has arrived, all parties must take a break and take the opportunity to give his subordinates a holiday.
After explaining the matters at hand, Wang Xian also went home to live. Lin Qing'er will give birth next month, so he naturally wants to spend as much time with his wife as possible. As expected, Lin Qing'er was very happy to see him come home. It was so torturous.
The pregnancy symptoms seemed to have disappeared. After the couple had dinner, Wang Xian helped her walk in the yard for a while and then coaxed her to sleep early.
After a night of silence, Lin Qing'er woke up early the next morning and found her husband looking at her with a smile. She couldn't help but feel elated: "I thought I wouldn't see the official again when I woke up."
"Hey..." Wang Xian felt ashamed after hearing this. He was really sorry for his wife. Even though they were all in the capital, they still spent less time together and separated more. Even seeing him when they woke up in the morning made his wife so happy.
He kissed her little hand and said, "I'm not going anywhere today. I'll stay at home and stay with you."
"That's great." Lin Qing'er was so excited that she couldn't sleep and had to sit up to freshen up.
"Be careful." Wang Xian hurriedly supported her and said, "Slow down."
"Guardian, don't worry, I know who I am." Lin Qing'er said with a smile, "Guardian is suddenly at home all day, and I really don't know what to do."
"I will accompany you whatever you want." Wang Xian said with a fond smile.
"Let me think about it carefully." Lin Qing'er thought for a moment and said with a smile: "I don't want to do anything. I just want to stay quietly with you."
"It's hard to say." Wang Xian said with a smile: "Let's have breakfast first. After dinner, we will go to the garden to get some air. The lotus in the pond should be in bloom, right?"
"It's been open for a long time." Lin Qing'er said with some slight resentment.
"Oh, really?" Wang Xian smiled sheepishly: "It seems that I have been back too little."
"It's good to know." Lin Qing'er glanced at him with her beautiful eyes and gave him a beautiful roll of her eyes.
The couple warmed up for a while, then finished dressing up. Wang Xian helped his wife out to eat. Yu Shek had already laid out the food outside, and when they were serving the meal, she took advantage of Lin Qing'er not paying attention and gave Wang Xian a hard look. Wang
Xian couldn't help feeling guilty, knowing that he had kept this girl waiting for too long. But he really didn't have the temperament to have sex with his wife's personal maid when she was about to give birth, so he pretended not to see it and just ate his food.
meal.
The couple was having breakfast when the housekeeper came in and reported softly: "Second Master, someone has sent an invitation." Speaking of which, Lin Qing'er's rectification finally paid off, at least from the outside, the servants of the Wang family
He finally looked like a well-behaved man. Although he couldn't compare with the aristocratic families that existed for dozens or hundreds of years, he no longer looked like the nouveau riche he once was.
"Oh, someone else invited me to dinner?" Wang Xian was very surprised when he saw the invitation. Although he is now a big shot in the capital, but due to the nature of his work, few people dare to take the initiative to say hello.
He, even the fellow countryman with whom he had a good relationship, knew to try not to interact with him openly. This was not surprising, as spy chiefs had always been kept at a distance by everyone.
Therefore, Wang Xian was very surprised when someone posted a message for him. He took the poor-quality invitation that cost only a penny on the market, opened it, and saw sixteen characters crookedly written inside: "Yueyue Ming, on the Qinhuai River, old friend"
Invite me, will you be honored or not?
After Wang Xian read it, he put the invitation on the table and continued to eat his food. But he muttered in his heart, where did I get such an old friend? After thinking for a while, he picked up the invitation and looked at it. Although the handwriting was ugly,
But the strength penetrated through the back of the paper, and it seemed to be written by a skilled man. Two burly shadows appeared in his mind. Looking at the content of the invitation, he ruled out one more. If he guessed correctly, he must see it.
"If you want to go, officials can go." Lin Qing'er said softly: "It's rare for someone to invite you."
"It sounds like I'm very unpopular." Wang Xian rubbed his nose and said, "Okay, now it's true that anyone who sees me has to avoid me." He laughed and cursed, "But this guy is so good. Qin Huaihe is so good."
Commander, do I know where to find him?"
"That's true." Lin Qing'er also smiled.
"Ignore him for now." Wang Xian said with a smile: "It's rare to have a holiday, so let's enjoy our world together."
"Yeah." Lin Qing'er responded sweetly.
After breakfast, the young couple took a walk in the backyard. The breeze blew by, bringing in the fragrance of the lotus pond, accompanied by the whispering sound of cicadas. They really felt like a couple of gods and immortals.
But God refused to let the young couple get what they wanted. Not long after, the housekeeper came again: "Second Master..."
"See no one, do nothing, and block everyone." Wang Xian glared at this incomprehensible guy with some annoyance.
"But... the prince sent someone here to invite the second master to come over to discuss matters." The butler said bravely.
"Uh..." Wang Xian scratched his head depressedly: "It has to be today."
"Go quickly, the prince must have something urgent to do with you." Lin Qing'er was reasonable and comforted him softly: "I am very satisfied that the official can accompany me for half a day."
"Hey, Qing'er..." Wang Xian scratched his head vigorously and said, "I'll be back as soon as I go."
"Yeah." Lin Qing'er nodded and smiled.
After sending his wife back to the room, Wang Xian asked Yu She to help him change his clothes. When he was dressing him in official uniform, Yu She was very forceful, as if he wanted to strangle him to death with a belt.
"So angry?" Wang Xian said amusedly.
"I don't dare." Yu Shek said with a stern face and red eyes.
"Silly girl, you see, even my wife spends less time with me and more time away from me," Wang Xian sighed, "If you follow me, wouldn't you be a widow?"
"I am also willing to live as a widow." Yu Shek said stubbornly: "Ever since the master brought me home, I have regarded myself as the master's person. Well, I am the master's person in life, and I am the master's ghost in death."
"Hey..." Wang Xian sighed, reached out and took the little beauty into his arms and said, "Why are you doing this?"
"The master is the best man in the world. It's not hard to be with the master at all. It's hard not to be with the master." Being held in his arms, Yu She's delicate body softened immediately, and her voice became miserable and said: "My maid again
It’s not that I want you to do anything to your servant, it’s just that it’s very uncomfortable for me to be treated like nothing by you all day long.”
"Okay, okay, I'll keep saying the same thing, wait until the wife gives birth..."
