Four hundred and twentieth chapters are hard to guard against
Liu Jin stood in front of the Office of the Ministry of Rites, not knowing whether to enter or retreat.
The theory that Tang Ning was the broomstick who defeated the Minister of Hubu and sent the Minister of Punishment to Tianlao has long been spread throughout the capital. However, this is actually a bit exaggerated. Both the Minister of Hube and the Minister of Punishment were found to have problems themselves.
, you deserve to die, you deserve to be caught, you have to take the blame on yourself, you can’t blame others.
But the Ministry of Rites is different.
As soon as Tang Ning entered the Ministry of Etiquette, a fraud case was discovered among the doctors of the Ministry of Rites, and the host and guest doctor suddenly fell seriously ill. If Liu Jin still didn't know that he had tampered with it in order to get the position of the wedding messenger, he might as well resign and return home.
Township, so as not to be swallowed up in the officialdom and leave no trace.
The Ministry of Rites is the territory of the Tang family. Tang Ning and Tang Shangshu have a sworn hatred. He can't defeat Tang Shangshu, so he has to vent his anger on them. I'm afraid this is the truth - the legend that Liu Jin is not afraid of the broom star.
What he was afraid of was Tangning's methods.
Countless examples prove that those who are targeted by him will not end well.
He was walking around in the ancestral hall. All the doctors from the three departments had taken a long leave like him, and now he was the only one here. So if Tang Ning wanted to continue to stir up trouble in the Rites Department and take revenge, wouldn't he be the first to bear the brunt?
He looked anxious, and after thinking for a long time, he strode out of the Ancestral Department and headed towards the Yamen where Liu Feng, the Minister of Rites, was staying.
When walking up the steps in front of the corridor, he felt that a certain blue brick on the step was a little loose. Liu Jin thought about it, put a little force on his feet, and moved the green brick outward a few minutes.
He had just arrived at the Ministry of Etiquette and had to ask for leave again. In case the Lord Assistant would not approve it, he had to make adequate preparations first. If he sprained his foot when going down the steps, he would have to lie down at home to recuperate. I don't think the Lord Assistant would be unreasonable.
.
He knocked on the door and walked into the government office. Liu Feng, the doctor of the Ministry of Etiquette, looked at him and asked: "Mr. Liu, is he well? You came back just in time. Several of you have been on leave these days. The affairs of the Ministry of Rites are piling up. If you don't
When you come back, I will go to your home to visit you."
Liu Jin stepped in and said awkwardly: "Your Excellency, Sir, I am here to ask for another month's leave..."
"What?" Liu Feng looked at him and frowned: "What's going on with you guys? You just asked for such a long leave, and now you have to ask for it again. I think you are in good spirits, and you don't look like you at all."
You look seriously ill, if you can't tell me a reason today, I won't agree to it."
The Lord Assistant is considered one of his own. Liu Jin said with a grimace: "Your Excellency, you should also know that Tang Ning has returned to the Ministry of Rites. I am really worried about staying here. I don't know when he will be killed.
So I want to go home first to avoid the limelight, and then come back after he leaves the Ministry of Rites..."
"Absurd!" Liu Feng stood up and asked: "Do you also believe that the broom star's theory is false?"
Liu Jin said: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens."
Liu Feng walked out of the office and said, "Don't worry, he won't come to the Rites Department again after today."
Liu Jin was startled and asked, "Is he leaving?"
Liu Feng nodded and said: "Although he has not been in the Ministry of Rites Yamen for a long time, he is on this mission as a doctor in the Ministry of Rites. He has been away for half a year. There is no need to stay in the Ministry of Rites any longer. He came today to pack his things.
of."
"That's good." Liu Jin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I won't ask for leave."
"You would believe such a ridiculous thing?" Liu Feng walked out of the office, glanced at him, and said, "Outsiders also rumored that he specializes in controlling the minister. He has been in the Ministry of Rites for so long, how come I don't have anything to do?"
Liu Jin quickly complimented: "Your Excellency, the Minister, is blessed by gods. How can a mere bumbling star be your opponent?"
Liu Feng waved his hand and said, "You should go back and do your work. I have some things to do with Mr. Shangshu."
He walked down the steps and stepped on a green brick on the steps.
A small part of the blue brick was hanging outside, and when he stepped on it, it tilted up.
Liu Feng only felt that his feet were empty, and then he staggered, his body became unstable, and he fell forward.
There was a small flower garden under the corridor, which was surrounded by bricks and stones. Liu Feng fell down from the corridor, hit his head on the edge of the flower garden, and instantly started bleeding profusely.
Tang Ning walked out of the guest office, holding in her arms the novel he had put in the Yamen room to pass the time when he was in the Ministry of Etiquette. She was about to come over and say something to Liu Shilang and leave. When she saw Liu Feng fell through the air, he lay on the ground holding his arms.
His head was groaning, and he was still in a daze.
Liu Jin ran out of the government office and looked at the scene in front of him. After being stunned for a moment, he immediately said loudly: "Liu Shilang is injured. Someone, come quickly!"
The doctor who came after hearing the news finally helped Liu Feng stop the bleeding. Liu Jin looked at him and asked: "How is the injury of the Minister?"
The doctor looked at him and said: "There is no fear of life, but the minister accidentally bumped into the corner of a blue brick. Even if he is cured, I am afraid he will leave scars in the future..."
Thinking of the blue brick, Liu Jin felt weak in his heart and said: "It's fine if it's no big deal, it's fine if it's no big deal..."
Liu Jin came out of the room and saw many people standing in the courtyard, looking around and talking in low voices.
"That man is really the nemesis of the assistant minister. Fortunately, Mr. Liu is very lucky. If he had moved an inch further to the side and hit the sharp corner of the brick, he would probably be dead by now!"
"He, he is not the broom star, he is clearly the King of Hell..."
"It's so scary, it's impossible to guard against it!"
…
"Cough!" Liu Jin coughed, and everyone immediately stopped talking.
With a calm expression, Liu Jin pointed to the step where the Minister of Rites fell, and said: "Have people repair it so that no one will fall down again. In addition, throw the brick that injured Minister Liu farther away...
…”
…
After bidding farewell to the Ministry of Rites, Tangning could stay at home for a few more days before reporting to the Ministry of War.
Both the home and the princess' mansion were under construction, and Zhao Man announced that he would build a garden in the backyard. In this way, even if there was a big noise later, no one would suspect it.
Princess Anyang took them out for a walk today, and even Tang Yaoyao came to join in the fun. It seemed that the bracelet he gave by accident really worked. Since then, she has never mentioned Li Tianlan and Li Tianlan again.
What happened to Zhao Man.
Twice Tang Ning went to see her and found that she was actually watching "The West Chamber" and "The Peony Pavilion" again, taking notes while reading. Tang Ning originally wanted to see what she was taking notes, but she ruthlessly kicked her out.
He was alone at home and had nothing to do, so he sat next to Xiao Xiao and watched her read.
In addition to practicing martial arts, Xiaoxiao would spend at least an hour reading every day. Unlike the playful Fang Xinyue, she had a very calm temperament, was serious about her work, and could persevere for a long time. However, in Tangning's view, although reading books was necessary,
When it's time to play, she can't be vague. She didn't have a happy childhood, and now she can make up for it as much as she can. She and Fang Xinyue complement each other perfectly.
Tangning and Xiaoxiao were sitting in the pavilion, and Lao Zheng was sitting in the yard, teaching Nannan how to read, occasionally looking over here.
I don’t know how much time passed, but the old beggar came out of the corner, looked at Old Zheng, and asked, “Pig-killer, why do you keep looking at my apprentice?”
Lao Zheng turned around, looked at him and asked, "Is there any?"
The old beggar said: "Don't try to deny it, I have been watching you for a long time."
Lao Zheng looked over again and said: "The little girl has amazing bones and is very talented. It is really rare to see a good young talent practicing martial arts."
"You really want to steal my precious apprentice!" The old beggar narrowed his eyes and threatened: "I'm warning you, Xiaoxiao is my apprentice. If you want to pass on your pig-killing skills, you can find an apprentice yourself. Young Master
You want to take advantage of my precious apprentice, otherwise, I won’t blame you for being rude..."
Lao Zheng shook his head and said: "You misunderstood, I didn't want to accept the little girl as my apprentice."
Hearing this, the old beggar frowned even more and said, "What do you mean by this? My apprentice is so talented that you only meet her once in a hundred years, but you don't want to accept her as your apprentice?"
Lao Zheng was silent for a moment, looked at him and asked, "Are you sick?"
