When sun Shangshu arrived at the imperial study, there were only three people in the spacious and luxurious space. They were yuanjingdi, who was high on the throne; Wang Shoufu, who was resourceful and resourceful; daqingyi, whose temples were slightly frosty.

Shangshu adults habitually looked at Shoufu elder brother, found each other's face dignified, eyes heavy, this let originally thought just an ordinary small court meeting of sun Shangshu a Leng.

What kind of demon is Wei Yuan doing? He looks at Da Qingyi in an instant, but this talented eunuch is gentle, deep and introverted, which makes people can't see through his inner thoughts.

Sun Shangshu had a bad feeling. After saluting, he stood in his own position in silence.

As time went by, the ministers came one after another and bowed to their seats. Emperor Jingdi of Yuan Dynasty kept his eyes closed until he heard the voice of the Minister of the Ministry of industry.

Yuan Jingdi opened his eyes and looked down on the ministers. Those who could participate in the small court meeting were all senior officials, and ordinary senior officials were not qualified.

"Wei Aiqing, let's talk to you."

Wei Yuan stepped out and said: "last night, watchmen found a house in inner city where they kept Luan children and prostitutes. The women were good families, and the teenagers were children of ordinary families. They were kidnapped and held here by human traffickers, and forced to serve the guests who came to the house to get drunk at night... "

" last night, the watchmen stormed out to encircle and suppress the gang of thieves, and arrested 13 prostitutes, of whom 10 had official positions, and three were big businessmen in Beijing. In addition, the watchmen found 40 skeletons in the well in the backyard, all of them were good families who had been maimed. "

Wei Yuan's words caused a huge storm in the imperial study, and the ministers began to talk loudly, regardless of the rules of the court.

Abducting and trafficking in human beings, keeping prostitutes, power and sex trading... Any one of them can make the officials involved in the incident irreparable, especially during the period of Beijing inspection.

However, Wei Yuan's words were not finished yet, and another important material came out: "according to the investigation, the owner of the private house was involved with the wizard of the sorcerer cult, and the ghost raising mantra depicted in the well is the evidence. After the private owner confessed, he worked for Liu Shangshu of the Ministry of industry. That private house is not only a place for gangs to have fun, but also a base for secret contact with the sorcerer religion. "

All the ministers were in an uproar.

If we still maintain a certain image just now, now it has become a vegetable market. Some people scold Wei yuanpan for biting and slandering, while others propose to behead Wei Yuan.

The eunuch standing next to Emperor Jingdi of the Yuan Dynasty called for three times of silence, but still did not suppress the chaos.

To form a clique for personal gain, to abduct and sell people, and to force good people into prostitution are all within the scope of crimes. But colluding with the sorcerer is different. It's wanted for treason.

According to Dafeng's law, he wanted traitors and nine ethnic minorities.

"Pa!" As soon as emperor yuan Jingdi patted the table, the imperial study was quiet. His fierce eyes swept all the officials and fell on Wang Zhenwen, the first assistant.

"What does Wang Aiqing think?"

The chief assistant came out and said in a deep voice, "this matter should be thoroughly investigated and should not be tolerated."

This sounds like a mixture, but Sun Shangshu of the Ministry of punishment is acutely aware that the elder brother is leaning towards Wei Yuan. He immediately understands the meaning of the elder brother.

As for Wei Shangyuan, the most important thing is to sell his face.

Standing at Weiyuan, once it is verified, the Secretary of the Ministry of industry will be finished. The Qi party lost a leader.

In the Sangpo case, the Wang Party tried to frame the Minister of the Ministry of industry and inflict heavy damage on the Qi party. It's a failure, but it's an opportunity.

Yuan Jingdi looked at Wei Yuan: "where are the criminals?"

Wei Yuan shook his head and sighed: "the criminal was killed by witchcraft last night. There is no proof of his death."

Yuanjingdi frowned.

The imperial study suddenly fell into a dead silence. The ministers looked at Wei Yuan with strange eyes, as if to say: no picture, you can say a few.

Wang Zhenwen, the pure first assistant, frowned at Wei Yuan.

The Minister of the Ministry of industry drew a line from the corner of his mouth and walked out with a sneer, shouting: "Your Majesty, I am wronged. Wei Yuan has slandered Wei Chen. Please let your majesty decide. "

Emperor yuan Jing was calm: "Wei Yuan, what can you say?"

Wei Yuan was very calm and said in a loud voice: "please summon Xu Qi'an."

Causeway Xu Qi'an... The ministers who heard this name suddenly looked strange. Based on the incident of Zhou Chixiong last time, Xu Qi'an was summoned at this juncture to make the ministers realize that there was a follow-up to the incident, and Wei Yuan had something to hide.

In particular, the members of the Wang party had a slight PTSD to the sentence "summon Xu Qi'an".

The minister's face changed slightly, but he quickly hid his emotions and kept calm.

Emperor yuan Jing was silent for a few seconds and said, "Xuan."

More than ten minutes later, wearing a black robe, hanging a gong and a cape, Xu Qi'an entered the imperial study, and the black gold sword hanging on his back was seized.

Accompanied by the white clothes of Chu Caiwei and two sky supervisors.

"Meet your majesty." Xu Qi'an bows.

Emperor Yuanjing looked at the small Gong indifferently. Wei Yuan turned his head and said with a smile, "tell your majesty what you found."

Xu Qi'an immediately plans to use his Majesty's money to buy a house, only to find the haunted house, and then through empathy, he finds the private house... He says it all.The more he listened to the Minister of the Ministry of work, the worse his face became, and his heart sank slowly.

People have been killed. Last night, the watchmen were furious about it. They had no evidence and wanted to deceive my official. The Secretary of the Ministry of industry stabilized his mood and laughed in his heart.

How many ups and downs have I experienced in my half career? Just this little trick, ah.

When Xu Qi'an finished speaking, he saw that emperor Jing of Yuan Dynasty was indifferent and expressionless. So he added: "the female ghost is taken in the geomantic omen dish of lady Caiwei. If your majesty wants to verify it, you can pick someone you can trust and share feelings with the female ghost."

With that, he thought darkly in his heart: we must find a man to share our feelings.

After pondering for a moment, yuan Jingdi looked at the eunuch beside him. If anyone on the scene was trusted by him most, it was the eunuch who had been waiting for him since he was a child.

"For your majesty." Eunuch Fu Shen Dao.

"Don't panic, father-in-law. It's nothing serious." Seeing that the eunuch was a little frightened, Xu Qi'an thought that the other side didn't know what empathy was and comforted him.

At most, it's like being ridden by a man in his crotch by his first sight. But don't worry, it's like watching a movie. There's no specific feeling.

Xu Qi'an thinks that this is a gift for eunuchs who miss a good chicken. If they can't sleep with a woman, they can make up for it if they are slept with a man.

Chu Caiwei takes out the Feng Shui plate and comes to the eunuch. The Feng Shui plate is in full bloom, and the Taiji fish is spinning, and a black fog pops up.

She gently flicked the black fog to the center of the eunuch's brow, who subconsciously leaned back, trying to avoid. The next moment, the black fog invades the spirit of the opponent.

Chu caiweiyu's advice is in his eyebrows to help him integrate with the female ghost. Otherwise, with the strength of the great eunuch, he may be assimilated by the spirit of resentment and can't tell who he is.

Yuan Jingdi and the ministers in his study watched the eunuch, and his face changed from fear to ferocity, from despair to pain.

The process lasted for a quarter of an hour. Chu Caiwei drew out her jade finger and the black fog, and took back the Feng Shui plate again.

The eunuch opened his eyes and knelt down to cry: "Your Majesty, your majesty, you are going to make the decision for your maidservant..."

he cried and suddenly realized that he was a man, at least before. What he just realized was the memory of the female ghost, not himself.

After realizing this level, the eunuch dried his tears, his face gradually recovered, and his tone was still a little sad: "Your Majesty, I've seen you all."

Yuan Jingdi nodded: "say."

He immediately looked at the white clothes of the three sky wardens including Chu Caiwei, and saw that their eyes were flowing with pure Qi, so he looked back at the eunuch with ease.

"The maid saw that she was abducted and sent to the capital. Every day she was forced to wait on the guests who bought Huan... No, the guests didn't pay."

Ministers looked at each other, so it seems that what Wei Yuan said is true. This is a private house that abducts and sells good families and forces good people into prostitution.

"Later, she served a guest named tamraha, who was appreciated and became his friend."

Tamraha... It's an alien name.

Emperor yuan Jing narrowed his eyes, glanced at the Minister of the Ministry of work, nodded and said, "what happened later?"

"One night, she overheard a secret conversation, heard the words" artillery "," equipment "and so on, and was brutally killed and thrown into the well. The maid saw that the person who talked with tamrahim... "

speaking of this, the eunuch turned his head, pointed to the Minister of the Ministry of industry, and said in a sharp voice," it's Liu Shangshu. "

Emperor yuan Jing's face turned black in a flash.

The imperial study exploded, the wind turned sharply, and the ministers turned their spearheads to attack the Minister of the Ministry of work. Among them, the Minister of Dali Temple reacted fiercely, expressed his feelings, and denounced Liu Shangshu for not being a son of man.

In the midst of all the criticism, the Minister of the Ministry of work's face was as earthy as a puppet without vitality.

...

after leaving the palace, Xu Qi'an rode with Wei Yuan's carriage.

"Duke Wei, Minister of the Ministry of industry, is one of the leaders of the Qi party. If you hold him in your hand, you can uproot the Qi party." Xu Qi'an said in a deep voice.

In the carriage, Wei Yuan's laughing voice came: "now is not the time to pull out the Qi party. Without the Qi party, the biggest beneficiary is not us."

Xu Qian, who is a silver standard in politics, did not tangle with this topic. Instead, he tentatively said, "can I count myself guilty and meritorious?"

Wei Yuan said, "well, the Ministry of punishment will not arrest you any more. The rest of the watchmen will depend on your Majesty's intention. Later, I'll give a fold to the palace. "

Well, it's up to Wei Yuan to handle these things... I should be sure of my promotion to silver Gong... Go home first and comfort my second uncle and aunt.

Xu Qian immediately asked for leave, bid farewell to Wei Yuan, patted the little mare's buttocks, and rushed to the outer city.

Second uncle on duty, not in the house. There are only aunts and two sisters in the family.

My aunt sat on the chair in the front hall, drinking tea, eating snacks, and occasionally feeding a small bean that played with wooden toys.

She was wearing a dark blue suit, her hair was high, her beautiful face was beautiful, and her makeup was exquisite.Seeing the unfortunate nephew coming back, the aunt's face changed slightly, and her voice was pressed to say:

"what are you doing when you come back? Your second uncle said that there are dark sons from the Ministry of punishment nearby. Get out of here."

"Big pot, big pot..." Xu Lingyin cheerfully came up and made a sudden stop in front of him. His small body shook and raised his small face:

"did you bring delicious food back?"

"No

Xu Qian's indifference broke the young sister's ardent expectation.

"Oh."

Xu Lingyin is also a realistic girl. She immediately abandons her elder brother as my shoes, shakes her little butt and goes to play by herself.

Xu Qi'an didn't want to take care of her aunt. She went to the side of the case and reached for the cake. She was slapped open by the beautiful woman, staring: "I'll talk to you."

Xu Qian said carelessly: "things have been settled. I'll tell you when I come back."

When she heard that the matter had been settled, her aunt showed a little smile on her face and quickly restrained herself. She said, "I know how to make trouble all day long. Can I have a peaceful life at home?"

From the beginning of the tax and banking case, the trouble has not been settled, and it has been made every three or five times. Aunt from the beginning of the fear, to now has some habits.

That's not a good thing.

Ignoring his aunt's beep, Xu Qi'an said, "I've chosen the house. I want to take Lingyue and Lingyin to have a look. Is aunt going?"

Hear to choose a house again, beautiful Mou brush of bright rise, reserved way: "horizontal and vertical also have no matter, then with you go to see."
