old friends return

"Are you sure that thing was sent to Dali Temple?" Zuo Xiang turned his back to the people, looked at the ink painting hanging on the wall of the study, lowered his voice and asked the half-kneeling person behind him.

"Responding to my lord, the little one waited there all night yesterday. This morning, I saw Chen Yuting, the Minister of Dali Temple, personally took the letter, so I dared to come back and reply." The person behind him was the one who waited in the dark yesterday. , came back early this morning to report to Yan Qi.

Yan Qi nodded, "Well done, let's go down and receive the reward."

"Thank you sir!" The man stood up happily and was about to go out, but just as he opened the door of the study and took a step, a dagger was stuck in his throat, Yan Qi turned around Come on, with a calm face and a cold voice: "Let's deal with it."

There was no answer outside the door, only the "rustle" sound of dragging the corpse on the floor very quickly, Yan Qi had a very relieved expression on his face, and walked out of the study to the side hall.

But Dali Siqing was holding the letter in his hand, and he was still thinking about who sent it. The two people on duty yesterday insisted that they appeared out of thin air. They were so frightened that their minds were clearly unconscious. What they said Where can I believe it?

What's more, the contents of the letter are not harmful to him, and it doesn't seem to matter where the letter came from. The important thing is that the owner of the letter obviously wants to use his hand to get rid of Liu Yinzi.The letter mentioned that Liu Yinzhang had exceeded his power as a director, and also had extremely bad corruption.

Between the lines, there are many clues about Liu Yintiao, but because he has no right to investigate the matter thoroughly, so this letter is in the hands of him, the Minister of Dali Temple.

But where did he get the right to touch the Liu family?Besides, how did that person know that he would obey his wishes and hand over this letter to Emperor Hengde?After all, there is no direct conflict of interest between him and Liu Yinyi.

But how could he miss this good show?

Chen Yuting put the letter in the memorial that he was going to present tomorrow, lay down on the back, raised his head, and started humming. It's a pity that Liu Yinzi seemed to be on leave for three days because of the death of his mother at home. He's not up, otherwise I really want to see how he will defend himself...

As for making things worse, he would be happy to see it.

"Your Highness, Your Highness. A letter from Mr. Liu!" Gao Zhan ran in excitedly, and bumped into Gao Jin who had just come out of the main hall. Frizzy? I don’t know how to be careful!”

Gao Zhan scratched his head and said with a silly smile: "I know foster father, I must be more careful next time." After finishing speaking, he trotted in to find Cheng Muzhi, without waiting for Gao Jin to have anything else to say to him, Gao Jin looked Looking at the back of him running away, he shook his head helplessly.

The person Cheng Muzhi had been thinking about for so many days finally sent him a letter, and without waiting for Gao Zhan to talk nonsense, he took the letter directly from Gao Zhan's hand, then waved his hand to signal Gao Zhan to go out, and he stayed alone You have to read carefully what Liu Qingyan said in the letter he sent.

"Your Highness is well these days."

This is the first sentence, Cheng Muzhi said in his heart, it's very good, but it's not good not to see you.

"This time, the minister returned to the mansion to serve the sick, and it was originally planned to return in ten days, but now..."

This is the second sentence. Cheng Muzhi's face is broken before he finished reading it. Why, it's been more than ten days and he still hasn't come back?Could it be that something happened again?I had no choice but to be patient and continue to look down.

"It's just that my grandmother is seeing her back. As the eldest grandson, I have to keep a vigil for my grandmother for seven days. My father also asked for leave yesterday. I'm afraid there are a lot of things to prepare. I hope the palace will postpone my return this time. The day of vigil will be seven days." When it’s over, I will return home.”

"Chen: Yours sincerely, Liu Qingyan."

The letter was not long, and the handwriting was even somewhat scribbled. It could be seen that Liu Qingyan wrote it hastily. Cheng Muzhi put down the letter, feeling a little worried about Liu Qingyan's current situation. The fact that the old lady of the Liu family passed away was beyond his expectation. I have always heard that the old man is in good health. This time when Liu Qingyan went back to serve the sick, he only let Liu Qingyan go back because the old man missed his grandson too much, and he was unwell, but he didn't expect it to be a serious illness, let alone the serious illness. , so old...

However, no matter how worried I am, I won't be able to go to the Liu Mansion at this time. The Liu Mansion should still be busy with Mrs. Liu's funeral. If you come here, you won't be able to help at all, but it will be more troublesome. Why don't you go alone in a few nights, whether you see Liu Qingyan or not is the second priority, and it's good to just go and have a look.

With a whistle in his mouth, two people suddenly came down from the beam, half kneeling and said: "What is the master's order?" The people who came and went in and out these two days, there are a lot of things going on in Liu's mansion recently, there must be some unfamiliar faces, you should pay more attention. If there is anything wrong or there are other changes, come back and tell me immediately."

"Yes, master." The two men complied and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

After some arrangements, Cheng Muzhi finally felt relieved.Ah Yan, he definitely won't let himself worry.

Morning the next day.

As usual, there is something to start and nothing to leave the court. At this time, Chen Yuting, the Minister of Dali Temple in the central government, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I have this to start." Emperor Hengde looked at Su Wenquan, and Su Wenquan immediately went down the steps to In front of Chen Yuting, he took the memorial and presented it to Emperor Hengde.

Cheng Muze looked at Prime Minister Zuo, and seeing Prime Minister Zuo nodded towards him, he knew what was going on in his heart, while Prime Minister Zuo tilted his head slightly, and glanced lazily at Prime Minister Cheng Muzhi and Prime Minister Right.

This glance... there is something strange in it...

Emperor Hengde opened the memorial, flipped through it a few times, and found that it was just an ordinary criminal case handled by the Dali Temple Mansion a few days ago. He wanted to leave the court just as he was about to say a few words, but saw that there were too many in the memorial. A folded corner of a piece of letter paper came out, and when I stretched out my hand, it turned out to be a complete letter. I looked at Chen Yuting who was standing below with some doubts and said, "Is there anything else in Ai Qing's memorial?"

Chen Yuting looked surprised, bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, forgive me. This letter was originally a report letter that I received yesterday and I don't know who handed it to the Dali Temple. I read it yesterday because I don't know what is in it. Said whether it was true, so I still wanted to investigate it a little bit before reporting it to the emperor, but now it is caught in this memorial... Most likely, when the servants came to clean up the table for the minister, it was caught in it. Let the emperor see it, it was my negligence, I hope the emperor will not blame you."

Emperor Hengde waved his hand, and said indifferently: "It's okay, I don't despise these things, what can I blame you for? I want to see, which unknown warrior is reporting this letter to me? Minister, I'm also here to join in the excitement."

No one spoke at the bottom, and everyone stood up straight, for fear that the letter was talking about themselves.Grand Tutor Li Ye saw Zuo Xiang's confident appearance, and had to admire Zuo Xiang's foresight in his heart, and found a Dali Temple Minister who was so good at acting to be the pusher.
