The Regent's Tender Darling

That night.

Xuemei had already waited, and Lin Jiaojiao was lying on the bed in Shuanghuaju, staring at the darkness in front of her with her eyes open.

There are no follow-up clues about Qin Zhi. The person behind the scenes must have noticed that the Qin family was silenced! Otherwise, there would be no movement at all.

There were rebellious people like Qin Zhi in her yard, so how many rats were hiding in the darkness in the entire Regent's Mansion?

The Regent's Palace is located in this capital, a place surrounded by jackals and poisonous insects.

If it is not cleaned up, I am afraid it will become more and more rampant.

…

——The next day.

The sun was rising in the east, and there was no sign of wind and snow. However, the morning breeze was still cold, and the officials who went to court were all shivering from the cold.

Palace entrance.

Old Prime Minister Mu Quchen got off the carriage, and next to him happened to be the carriage of Gu Yunzheng, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue.

"Prime Minister." Gu Yunzheng bowed his hands to the old prime minister.

"Master Gu."

Although the two are about the same age, the prime minister already has white hair. If he didn't look energetic, he might be regarded as a deaf and blind old man.

And this Gu Shangshu is obviously better off than the old prime minister. His hair is still green and white, and the beard at the corner of his mouth makes him look a little unkempt.

But in terms of temperament, Gu Shangshu still falls short of the old prime minister.

The two of them walked side by side, and Gu Yunzheng said: "It's getting colder and colder these days. You have to be careful with your old bones."

Hearing this, Mu Quchen smiled happily and said, "My body is still strong."

"Can the regent come to court today?"

"I heard that I was infected with cold."

Gu Yunzheng couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: "The regent has not been in court for several days. I'm afraid there will be another scene today."

Although they didn't mention each other by name, the two of them knew each other tacitly.

The emperor was late for less than half an hour, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were already used to it. This was considered fast when the regent did not come to the court. The latest day forced the civil and military officials of the Manchu court to wait until the next court.

At this time, Yan Anzhi on the throne was still yawning, looking like he had not woken up.

If he hadn't heard yesterday that the regent wouldn't come today, he wouldn't have dared to come too late, so he said: "If you have something to do, leave the court, if there is nothing to do, leave the court!"

The moment he said these words, Yan Anzhi was about to leave the throne, and he was ready to go to court at any time.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

The loud voice of the Dali Temple Qing came and Yan Anzhi had a headache.

Seeing that the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Minister of War had come out from among the courtiers, he could only sit back down.

After waving his hands, he said impatiently: "That's right..."

Before the words "Zhunzou" could be uttered, the Dali Temple Minister's loud voice spoke loudly: "Your Majesty! I have found out the truth about the Lin'an Prefecture's extermination of the family."

When the words "Lin'an government office" appeared, whispers began to start in the court. This matter that had made people worried for several days finally had a voice.

"I found a surviving witness from the Lin'an government office in Lin'an. This person was a cook. He jumped into a manhole when the fire broke out because he was up late at night and escaped."

As soon as the Minister of Dali Temple finished speaking, Yan Anzhi looked disgusted, but he didn't say anything and continued to listen.

Immediately afterwards, someone presented the testimony of the case, and he took it over and flipped through it casually.

The Minister of Dali Temple continued: "According to the guy, he heard a group of people shouting, 'Dog Guanfu, if you dare to arrest our brothers, you will definitely pay the price!'"

"It was said that when there was a fire near the Lin'an government office, I saw a group of people rushing out of the government office."
