Yijing, Youyan, according to the regulations of the previous Zhou Dynasty, the officials of the Chasi Mansion Yamen must start working at the Yamen at Mao in the morning. This is also commonly known as Dian Mao... ·····However, as Ye Mingsheng came to power, he felt that this time was a bit too early. It was not yet dawn at Mao Shi, so he revised the regulations and extended the time by one hour, allowing officials to come to the Yamen at Chen Shi. Clock in to work.
At this time, the time had not yet reached Chen time, and some low-level officials in the Inspectorate had already started to go to work on errands, but high-level officials such as the Inspector, Deputy Envoy, and Chief Minister had not arrived.
After about an incense stick, a carriage slowly arrived in front of the government office. The guards of the government office wanted to check, but when they saw the sign on the carriage, they immediately respectfully invited the carriage in.
With the appearance of this carriage, some officials from the Ancha Division also began to whisper. There were also some unexplained rules in the Yamen of Da Zhou Mansion.
For example, low-level officials must arrive before the specified time, while high-ranking officials such as Qian Shi, Deputy Envoy, and Inspection Envoy can arrive a little later. You can come at three o'clock.
And the carriage just now belongs to Murong Hui, the current third-rank Youyan inspector of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Murong Hui was born in the Murong family and has always been very strict about rules. He usually arrives at the Yamen at exactly three o'clock in the morning, but now it is not even two o'clock. He just came to the Yamen, which can be said to be very rare... There is a demon, so many people are speculating that something important is going to happen!
At this time, Murong Hui didn't care what his subordinates thought. When he came to the government office, he immediately summoned Xia Lianyang, the minister.
Xia Lianyang, the minister, had just arrived. He was just about to make a pot of hot tea when he heard that the Inspector was coming to see him. He couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart. He had a bad premonition, but he still packed some clothes and came. In front of Murong Hui.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty the Inspector!" Murong Hui, who was looking at the documents, raised his head when he heard Xia Lianyang's voice and bowed his head slightly as a gesture of greeting, and then asked: "Did you check the case of the Shangdang? How's it going?" After hearing this, Xia Lianyang's heart suddenly became anxious, but he still pretended not to know and said: "For your information, Your Excellency, I have two pieces of information from the Shangdang in my hands. One is One of the Shangdang gentry Liu Yuan was killed, and the other was the Shangdang underground bank. I don’t know which one you are talking about, sir?" Murong Hui said without thinking: "Of course it is the underground bank. Sir, this case is one that the Justice Bureau has named for supervision!" Xia Lianyang felt a little more relaxed after hearing this, and immediately said: "I'll tell you, sir, this case has been investigated by the superior and underground parties. The mastermind of the bank is Zhao Shen, a local gentry. This man has recruited a group of ruffians and makes a living by lending money... ··”
"Based on the evidence we have now, it can be confirmed that Zhao Shen is the mastermind of several murders and robberies. Zhao Shen has been arrested by the local county government. I am sorting out the materials and preparing to let the Shangdang officials know in the next few days. Escort the person over here!" Murong Hui nodded when he heard this and said: "The sooner we handle it, the better, but there should be no mistakes, especially in the process. Director Wang of the Justice Bureau is very concerned about this case. He values it very much, don't let him find any faults!" Hearing
The words "Director Wang" made Xia Lianyang's eyebrows jump. There was only one deputy director in the Justice Bureau, and that was Wang Xuecheng, the former deputy director of the Coordination Office. He was a ruthless character. Thinking of this, Xia Lianyang felt nervous. He immediately nodded solemnly towards Murong Hui and said, "Sir, I understand. This piece of evidence is already a piece of evidence. Even Director Wang will definitely not be able to find fault with it!"
"That's all. You go back to work and check to see if Liang Hao is here. If he is here, ask him to come over!"
"Yes!" After receiving Murong Hui's order, Xia Lianyang immediately bowed and exited the room. After walking out of the room, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and thought to himself that he was lucky. It seemed that Murong Hui had not discovered anything yet, but he couldn't put this aside. The eucalyptus was left in his hand, and he couldn't keep this hot potato... He made up his mind to go to He walked to his office. As a clerk of the Ministry of Justice, he also had an office of his own.
Because of Murong Hui's instructions, Xia Lianyang glanced at the room next door before entering the office. Liang Hao, another deputy director of the Chasi Bureau, was drinking tea leisurely in the room. When he saw Xia Lianyang looking over, Liang Hao was very enthusiastic. He said hello: "Brother Xia, come over for a cup of tea. My friend from Jiangnan sent me a pound of fine Longjing. I just made a pot, so you can come and try it too!" After listening to Liang Hao's words, Xia Lianyang was also a little agitated. He swept the teapot on Liang Hao's table. He was also a tea lover, so he was a little tempted by Liang Hao's words. However, when he thought of Murong Hui's words just now, Xia Lianyang still shook his head and said, "Thank you, Brother Liang, for your kindness." Yes, I have some urgent matters to deal with here. By the way, Lord Murong asked you to come over because he has something to do!" Liang Hao nodded immediately after hearing this and said: "Brother Xia, hurry up and get busy, I will also go see the inspector. Sir, come over for tea when you have time!"
"Definitely! Definitely!" After exchanging a few words with Xia Lianyang, Liang Hao came to Murong Hui. As soon as he saw Murong Hui, Liang Hao congratulated: "Congratulations, sir! Xia Lianyang has fallen into the trap. If My guess is good, he will definitely hand over the matter to the Coordination Office for handling next..." Murong Hui heard this There was no change in his expression, but there was a hint of pride in his eyes. He immediately turned to Liang Hao and asked, "How are your arrangements there?" Facing Murong Hui's inquiry, Liang Hao replied with a smile. : "Everything is ready, all I need is the east wind! This time I can definitely eliminate the serious troubles in your heart!" Murong Hui raised his head slightly and warned again: "Liang Hao, you have to keep a low profile for me recently, wipe the shit on your butt for me. Clean, what needs to be dealt with must be dealt with!" As soon as Murong Hui said this, Liang Hao was stunned, and then looked at Murong Hui involuntarily, and saw Murong Hui's deep eyes looking at him.
The two looked at each other, and Murong Hui said pointedly: "To be an official, you must not only be capable, but also have impeccable personal ethics! If you like money, you have made almost the same in the past few years. Why don't you resign and become a wealthy and idle person? Wouldn't it be nice to live a life of freedom and happiness?" After listening to Murong Hui's words, a thin layer of cold sweat appeared on Liang Hao's forehead, and then he said immediately: "Sir, I know what to do. I will definitely deal with it and leave no hidden dangers!" After receiving this answer, Murong Hui smiled and said: "Knowing your mistakes can make a lot of improvements. It is not easy for the court to train an official. We must treat the mistakes of individual officials and save them. Thoughts························”······················ ... The sun was very bright, the air was very fresh, and Bai Yuanyuan, who was in a good mood, brought her son Jingheng, maids, mama and other people to the back garden of Ye Mansion.
Sitting in the pavilion in the back garden and looking at the sleeping face of her son Jingheng, Bai Yuanyuan couldn't help but have a smile on her face. She just felt that all the hardships she had endured were worth it!
Perhaps because of her age, Bai Yuanyuan's pregnancy reactions were severe throughout her pregnancy. The baby in her belly was better in the early stages. But in June and July, not only did she vomit whatever she ate, but she also couldn't sleep well. It can be said that it was very painful.
It would be better if it was just physical suffering, but Bai Yuanyuan was also under a lot of mental pressure. She knew that although her father and brother never said it, they all had expectations in their hearts. Her first child was A daughter has already disappointed them. Also because the first child is a daughter, Bai Yuanyuan is not as confident about this pregnancy as she was the first time. She is also very worried about gains and losses on weekdays. She is worried that she will repeat the same mistakes this time and give birth to a daughter again. come out.
Although it seems that her husband loves her daughter equally, it is difficult for Bai Yuanyuan to get over that hurdle... Fortunately, although the process is very difficult... The pain made Bai Yuanyuan exhausted physically and mentally, but God was also moved by Bai Yuanyuan and allowed her to successfully give birth to a boy.
And with the appearance of this boy, Bai Yuanyuan felt that her hardships had finally come to an end. Not only had her status in the government improved, but her brother Bai Jiujiu had been promoted after years of hard work, and was sent to Anqing as deputy chief envoy, with a bright future. bright!
Even her mother-in-law, Ye Cui, who always looked down on her because of her background, has changed her attitude towards her. Bai Yuanyuan is also very excited about this, and sometimes she even thinks about it. It seems that it is not what she should think about!
For this reason, Bai Yuanyuan specially asked Master Huiyun, a nun, to perform fortune-telling for herself and her child. What made Bai Yuanyuan even more delighted was that Master Huiyun actually said that her Heng'er was a real dragon in the sky in his previous life, and he came here to repay his kindness in this life. In her belly.
For this reason, Bai Yuanyuan was very satisfied and gave Master Huiyun a big red envelope. Although she was very happy, when she thought of her father Bai Wanhao's instructions, Bai Yuanyuan also told Master Huiyun to keep this matter secret and not let others know. to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Nun Huiyun's words also strengthened Bai Yuanyuan's thoughts. She felt that although her Heng'er may not have the strength to compete now, with the current development momentum of their Bai family, the future must be promising!
As the so-called competition in the Central Plains, it is still unclear who will win. The real hero is the one who laughs in the end... Just as Bai Yuanyuan looked at her son's sleeping face , when she was thinking about a bright future in her heart, the maid Xiaoqing suddenly reminded her: "Madam, that bitch is here!" After hearing this, Bian Yuanyuan immediately looked over and saw a very beautiful young woman, who was getting her collar. A little boy was walking towards the back garden.
Seeing this, Bai Yuanyuan, who was originally very happy, also had a little disgust in her expression. She was instinctively disgusted with Shen Yutong. She felt that this woman had become a prostitute and pretended to be aloof to seduce men!
What's even more annoying is that her husband seems to like Shen Yutong's style. If that's the case, Bai Yuanyuan wouldn't hate Shen Yutong so much, but she was pregnant with Shen Yutong at about the same time. Bai Yuanyuan felt that she would definitely be able to give birth to a son, and if a bitch like Shen Yutong could successfully give birth to a child, it would be an advantage for her!
But in the end, Shen Yutong gave birth to a son, Jingcheng, and she gave birth to a daughter, Xingtong. This huge contrast made Bai Yuanyuan very uncomfortable, but Shen Yutong often brought his son out to show off.
This made An Miaoyi feel that Shen Yutong, a bitch, was deliberately angry with her, and she was undoubtedly even more angry. Because of her family's power, and her good relationship with An Miaoyi, Bai Yuanyuan also wanted to control her before. Shen Yutong was single and weak... But Murong Qingwu often protected Shen Yutong before, as the saying goes. The shadow of the famous tree, for Murong Qingwu and the Murong family behind it, although Bai Yuanyuan did not say it, she was still a little embarrassed in her heart, so she often ended up with an anticlimax!
However, now that Murong Qingwu is following her husband on the Western Expedition, and she has just given birth to a son, Bai Yuanyuan's confidence has been restored again. She gave Shen Yutong a bad look a few days ago, but without Murong Qingwu's help, Shen Yutong Tong could only endure it silently.
Seeing Shen Yutong again at this time, Bai Yuanyuan didn't want to let it go easily. She immediately scolded the maid Xiaoqing beside her loudly: "You bastard, madam, please remember that the most important thing for a person is to have If you are self-aware, don't try to be a phoenix with your sparrow's life. If you force it, you will only harm others and yourself, and others will be used as a broomstick to blast away!" Xiaoqing on the side also knew that his wife was not really scolding him, and immediately cooperated very well. He said: "Madam, what you are teaching me is that Xiaoqing is destined to be a maid all her life. It is God's pity to be able to serve you. It is a blessing that I have cultivated for three lives. I will never Dare to have other inappropriate thoughts..."
