In the Hubu Yamen office, no one was on duty, and they were all waiting outside the main hall.
The doctor had just left and said that Chu Qing had nothing serious, just a flesh injury, mainly from "tiredness".
Everyone expressed their understanding, and it was indeed tiring. Killing a jailer, arresting three people, and robbing the prison was not a laborious job.
Wei Changfeng walked out of the main hall, smiled slightly and waved his hand: "Everyone, go back. Chu Qing is awake. It's okay."
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs swarmed in, all breathing a sigh of relief.
I have to say that Chu Qing really made Hu Bu feel embarrassed.
In the morning, soldiers and officers from the Jingzhao Prefecture came to arrest people at the gate of the Yamen Office. As a member of the Household Department, there was no one who would not be angry, but there was nothing they could do if they were angry. At most, they would curse twice.
Looking at Chu Qing again, he "infiltrated" directly into the enemy. I heard that he almost didn't order it for Jingzhao Mansion. What's that called, long face, relieving hatred!
Chu Qing, who had just woken up, was surrounded by a tight crowd. He kept holding his hands and couldn't laugh or cry.
It was obvious that the concerned expressions on everyone's faces came from the bottom of their hearts.
Chu Qing is willing to teach everyone arithmetic, firstly, and secondly to vent everyone's anger, which is even more rare. Of course, they also heard that even Sun An had gone. For various reasons, Chu Qing was like a hero returning. He was warmly greeted by everyone.
After a lively chat, everyone told Chu Qing to take good care of his health before leaving.
It has to be said that under the leadership of Wei Changfeng, the Hubu Yamen Department does have a cohesion that is different from other Yamen.
Again, the Ministry of Household officials are not popular, so they are very united internally.
Chu Qing sat up from the bed and saluted Wei Changfeng.
"Thank you, Mr. Wei, for coming to the rescue."
"As it should be."
After sitting down, Wei Changfeng shook his head: "I owe it to you to tell me in detail what happened."
Chu Qing didn't hide anything and explained the situation in detail.
Wei Changfeng knew that the Li family was ruthless, but he didn't expect that they would dare to do so blatantly.
Of course, Li Lin actually didn't expect such a big mess. It was not a big deal to find two jailers, let Chu Qing draw a prisoner, and trap Tao Shaozhang.
It's a pity that he underestimated Chu Qing's "background", and he really didn't expect this guy to dare to kill someone and rob him of prison.
"This Li family really does everything they can. They will recuperate at home for a few days, and then come back to work as errands after they recover from their injuries. When they come to the government office in the future, they can have your entourage go in and out of the household department to protect you at all times."
Chu Qing frowned and asked, "The Li family still dare to attack me?"
Wei Changfeng said nothing
This Li family is really not an ordinary aristocratic family.
Many times, Changlu was like a joke to these aristocratic families, but more often, the aristocratic families could pick up Changlu as their shield.
Just like the case of Chu Qing, normally the Li family should not take action anymore, because as long as something happens to Chu Qing, the first person everyone will suspect is the Li family.
But the problem is that there is no evidence. Even if everyone in the world knows that it was the Li family who did it, the problem is that there is no evidence. Even the emperor cannot do anything to the Li family just because of suspicion.
For a moment, Wei Changfeng felt a little nostalgic for the time when the Supreme Emperor was in power.
When the old emperor was in power, he would do whatever he said, no matter what the scholars, aristocratic families, or ministers from foreign dynasties thought.
On the contrary, the new king always wants to do everything perfectly, and always wants to be a "smart king". He cares too much about the opinions of outsiders. He must do things according to law, and he doesn't want others to find any faults.
Having been immersed in the officialdom for many years, Wei Changfeng was a little bit embarrassed. The emperor seemed to want to reform the tax system, but he also wanted to get rid of some aristocratic families. It was already a difficult task, but he still had to do it openly and above board. It can be said that More difficult than ever.
Thinking of this, Wei Changfeng asked strangely: "I haven't asked you yet, why did Sun An, the emperor's close servant, also go to Jingzhao Mansion?"
"Don't do it." Chu Qing was also confused: "The dead eunuch ran to Jingzhao Mansion and said that he had an imperial decree and the emperor wanted to grant him an official or something."
Looking back now, Chu Qing also felt extremely strange.
No matter how arrogant the Li family is, they can bribe the governor of Jingzhao Mansion, but they can't also bribe the prince's personal attendants.
"Given an official position?" Wei Changfeng became even more confused: "Have you met His Majesty?"
"No, I just took a look at it from a distance when I was building Taowu Palace, and I didn't see what he looked like... I didn't see how majestic he looked."
"It's strange. Sun An is the chief eunuch of the Internal Affairs Supervisory Committee, and he is also the close attendant of the royal pen. It must be the emperor's order that he comes to announce the imperial edict. But why should the emperor grant you an official position?"
Speaking of this, Wei Changfeng showed an expression of sudden realization and said with a smile: "It must be about the Taowu Palace. Even I saw it in the palace that day. The emperor was extremely satisfied with the Taowu Palace. Although In my eyes, it is a bit unorthodox and violates the rules everywhere, but the emperor is very happy, and by the way, he almost forgot to say that if he has some free time another day, he can go to my mansion and repair a bamboo leaf fan."
"Aren't you saying it's neither fish nor fowl?"
"That's right, I just want to see what is wrong with it. After understanding the details, I can teach you."
Chu Qing's face was full of admiration.
No wonder he is a shameless person even if he reaches the position of Minister.
The clerk on duty ran in: "Master Wei, Mr. Chu Wensheng, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, is outside the government office. He said he was here to pick up Chu's teacher. He has been waiting for a long time."
Wei Changfeng nodded and told Chu Qing a few nonsense words about bringing extra guards with him on weekdays. The latter put on his clothes and hurried out of the government office.
Chu Wensheng and Fu San were waiting outside the door, anxious. When they saw Chu Qing running out, their father quickly went up to meet him, looked up and down, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"But I am anxious to die as a father. It's okay as long as it's okay. It's okay as long as it's okay."
Lao Chu's eyes were red and he patted Chu Qing's shoulder hard.
Still patting the injured area, Chu Qing took a breath of cold air.
Lao Chu's expression changed drastically: "What's wrong? Are you injured?"
"No, I just miss you."
Chu Wensheng laughed loudly: "As a father, I also want to support my son."
Fu San laughed at the side and said: "Master, you don't know that I was so anxious that I took people to the mansion of Jingzhao Mansion. As soon as I rushed in..."
Chu Wensheng glared at Fu San fiercely, and then the latter stopped talking.
Chu Qing's expression changed slightly: "Have you gone to see the governor of Jingzhao Mansion?"
"Oh, I'm just asking casually." Chu Wensheng said perfunctorily: "Why is the governor of Jingzhao Mansion also a third-rank official, and his father is a mere left minister of the Ministry of Industry? He can't say anything, so he begs grandpa to tell grandma to find someone he knows. The general of the army went to Mr. Ma's house, said all his good words and begged for a long time, and then Mr. Ma informed my father that you had returned to the Hubu Yamen Office."
Chu Qing's face was full of guilt.
Just by looking at the old father's appearance, you can tell that when he went to Ma Mansion, he must have been begging for a long time but was made things difficult by that bitch Ma Rui in every possible way.
"I will try my best not to cause you any trouble in the future. I have realized my mistake and will never let you be angered again."
Fu San on the side looked helpless.
Fortunately, Ma Rui said it too early. If he hadn't said that you were released as soon as he opened his mouth, dozens of members of the Ma family might have been cut into pieces by the master.
