She immediately asked Sanqiao to find Side, but Side was not in the house, so Hua Fushu gave up the idea of ​​​​taking care of Side.

Side is indeed not in the mansion. He sent several copybooks of Ye Zelin to the Ling mansion and is currently in the Ling mansion.

Ling Zhiheng handed the copybook to the servant and asked him to take it to the study.

After the servant left, Ling Zhiheng looked at Side with a smile. Side panicked and took a few steps away from Ling Zhiheng.

Ling Zhiheng strode towards Side and said, "Side, I want to ask you something."

Side said: "Master Ling, what do you want to ask?"

Ling Zhiheng said: "I want to ask about my sister-in-law."

Little sister-in-law?

Side quickly understood who the sister-in-law Ling Zhiheng was referring to, "What do you want to ask Mr. Ling?"

Ling Zhiheng asked: "When will my sister-in-law's injury heal?"

Side couldn't help but become vigilant, "Master Ling asked why."

Ling Zhiheng said: "My sister-in-law plays polo well. Don't you want to play another game with her?"

Side was relieved and said again: "The little lady's injury has not healed yet."

Ling Zhiheng said again: "Say hello to your young master first, and then ask my sister-in-law what she wants. When her feet are healed, come over and talk to me."

Si De agreed and returned to the General's Mansion.

It happened that Ye Zelin also returned to the house, so he told Ye Zelin what Ling Zhiheng told him. When Ye Zelin heard about it, he told Hua Fushu and asked Side to go busy.

After entering the house, Ye Zelin told Hua Fushu what happened and asked her what she meant. Thinking of Ling Zhiheng's annoying face, Hua Fushu suddenly became unhappy and said, "I'm not going!"

Ye Zelin just smiled helplessly and followed the flowers.

In the evening, Ye Zelin returned to the house after washing, took "Guiguzi" from the case, sat on the wooden couch, opened a page and read.

Hua Fushu studied the Ouyang family's acupuncture techniques. She looked at Ye Zelin and said, "I'll take that phoenix-head hairpin."

Ye Zelin was immersed in the book, without raising his eyes to look at her, and asked casually, "Do you like it?"

Hua Fushu was delighted, "I really like it."

She rolled her clear and round eyes, "Did you give it to me specifically? Why didn't you give it to me in person? Instead, you asked for the lychee to be handed over."

Looking at Ye Zelin's dark and deep eyes, Hua Fushu's eyes reflected a hint of hope.

However, I just heard him say calmly: "My mother won't accept it, and my sister-in-law doesn't want it, so I can only give it to you."

These words were like a basin of cold water poured on Hua Fushu, and the hope was instantly extinguished.

She stared at Ye Zelin, gave him a roll of her eyes, and continued to study the acupuncture techniques.

Looking at Hua Fushu's back, Ye Zelin couldn't help but chuckle. He was just teasing her, but he actually took it seriously.

The next day, Ye Zelin entered the palace following the imperial edict. Also entering the palace at the same time was Yu Xuanji, the Minister of Punishment, and they both entered the Chui Gong Hall.

Chui Gong Hall is located in the south of Xiangning Hall. It is where the king usually handles government affairs and summons ministers.

Zhao Zixu, wearing a crimson round-collar brocade robe, was sitting on the dragon throne, reviewing documents. When Superintendent Luo reported that the Minister of Punishment, Ye Zelin, had arrived, he put down his ink pen.

Ye Zelin and Yu Xuanji greeted each other, and Zhao Zixu made them sit down.

The two of them thanked each other and dared to sit down.

Zhao Zixu handed a folder to Superintendent Luo and said to Ye Zelin and Yu Xuanji, "This folder is from Yuezhou Prefecture. Take a look and tell us what you think."

Superintendent Luo handed the folding book to Ye Zelin and Yu Xuanji. After they saw it, they were so shocked that the folding page almost fell to the ground.

This piece of information was sent by Cheng Wenbo, Yin of Yuezhou Prefecture, accusing Cai Yuanchang, the governor of Dongting County, of plundering people's wealth, deducting funds for water conservancy construction, unjust, false and wrong cases, human trafficking, etc.

Yu Xuanji clenched his fists, veins bulging out, "Your Majesty, these criminals who commit crimes should be killed or shaved. If they are not killed or shaved, the people will be indignant and it will be intolerable to justice!"

Zhao Zixu looked at the furious Yu Xuanji calmly and asked Ye Zelin, "What do you think?"

Ye Zelin said: "If what Cheng Wenbo said is true, then Cai Yuanchang's crimes are too numerous to describe. However, Cheng Wenbo's words alone are not trustworthy. It is also possible that Cheng Wenbo framed Cai Yuanchang. This matter needs to be verified."

Zhao Zixu said: "Cheng Wenbo is already dead. Not long after I received this brochure, I also received Cai Yuanchang's brochure."

Supervisor Luo handed a folder to Ye and Yu, who were stunned after seeing it.

Yu Xuanji was no longer as excited as before, and said: "Your Majesty, there must be a hidden secret in this matter. Cheng Wenbo sent out the bag with his front foot, and his back foot died. Cai Yuanchang knocked him down and put all the crimes he committed on Cheng Wenbo's head."

Ye Zelin said: "Your Majesty, these two reports are very conflicting. The minister thought that Cai Yuan-chang should not know that Cheng Wenbo had reported the crime he had committed to Heaven. Cai Yuan-chang was afraid that the accusation would be exposed, so he simply killed Cheng Wenbo and blamed Cheng Wenbo instead of himself." clean."

Yu Xuanji said: "What the young general said makes sense."

Zhao Zixu said: "I am ordering you two to enter the palace. I want you two to go to Yuezhou to investigate the matter clearly. In whose hands did Cheng Wenbo fall into the hands of the one hundred thousand wages? Did Cheng Wenbo commit suicide out of fear of crime or died an unexpected death? Yu Shangshu, you will punish all the people in the Ministry of Punishment." The matter has been handed over. In five days, you and Ye Zelin will go to Yuezhou. You will be the presiding judge, and Ye Zelin will assist you and be responsible for your safety."

Ye and Yu stood up and bowed, saying that they were obeying the order.

Yu Xuanji made a speech, exited the Chui Gong Hall, and went to the Ministry of Punishments, while Ye Zelin was left behind by Zhao Zixu. There were several copybooks that he wanted to discuss with Ye Zelin, so the monarch and his ministers moved to the Wende Hall.

When they arrived at the Wende Hall, Superintendent Luo kept all the palace guests outside the hall and refused to enter to disturb His Majesty and the Major General as they read books and discuss chess.

Wearing the round-necked uniform of a palace eunuch in deep red, he stared at the blue sky. If someone came up to him and asked him what he was looking at, he would scold him.

Zhao Zixu landed a black piece and captured Ye Zelin's white piece, "I don't completely trust Yu Xuanji."

Ye Zelin picked up a few white stones from the chessboard and put them back into the chess urn. "Among the six departments, the Hu and Gong departments are controlled by Fox. The Rites and Staff departments are used by His Majesty. The War Department has taken refuge in the Shangshu Ling. Only the Punishment Department's movements are unknown. The parties in the DPRK are clearly divided. , intrigues, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss. Yu Xuanji does not dance with the party, stays out of the matter, gets along well in the Punishment Department like a fish in water, and has the Punishment Department firmly in his hands. He must be outstanding. If he gets Yu Xuanji, he will It is equivalent to taking control of the Ministry of Punishment. The fox has not taken Yu Xuanji for his own use so far, which shows that Yu Xuanji is not simple and not easy to conquer."

He held a white stone and dropped it, "Your Majesty, do you think the fox will take Yu Xuanji for his own use?"

Seeing that Ye Zelin had blocked his chess piece, Zhao Zixu looked for another solution, dropped a black stone, and said with a smile: "The fox is in a high position and has great power. Nearly half of the officials in the court are his confidants. He is in charge of the hundred thousand kings in Beiling. Everyone He is a good and wise king who is praised and trusted by the Queen Mother. A mere punishment department may not really take it seriously. Moreover, the punishment department really has nothing to gain, but I would like to take Yu Xuanji for my own use. It will be a help in the future. , after all, I don’t have many ministers available to me.”
