Mu Zhenliu said: "Although the Bureau of Armaments is not the official of Zebei's parents, the manufacture of ordnance, making the country rich and the army strong, are also important matters."

Yu Donghai was so soured by Mu Zhenliu's official accent: "Brother Mu still treats me as an outsider."

Mu Zhenliu said, "I'm not married yet."

Yu Donghai didn't know why he suddenly changed the subject, he was startled and said, "Oh? Are you engaged? Do you want your sister-in-law to help you find out?"

Mu Zhenliu said slowly, "I'm not married, so I don't have a wife yet."

……

Without an insider, the others are of course outsiders.When he said he didn't want to be an outsider, he meant that he wanted to be his wife.

Yu Donghai stared at Mu Zhenliu's calm appearance speechlessly, and couldn't believe that he was being teased seriously by him.

I want to turn my face, but because of such a small matter, I am really embarrassed to turn it over.

But let's swallow this breath, and feel that the neck is stuck, and the chest is uncomfortably tight.

He stared at Mu Zhenliu, and after a while he said with a dark face: "Brother Mu really likes to joke."

Mu Zhenliu really gave him a smile.

"..." Yu Donghai said, "Let's get down to business. Brother, since I'm standing here today, I won't play tricks with you. Let's be honest, as soon as you left that day, Ju Cheng asked someone to deliver a message, Tell the whole story of your conversation. He knew that he had fallen into a trap, and he couldn't do anything. He begged me to send his family back to his hometown. Although I hate him for his depravity, I also feel sorry for him. Besides, he was wrong , I couldn’t be more wrong than my family, so I agreed.”

Mu Zhenliu had expected this result, and listened expressionlessly.

Yu Donghai said: "Brother Mu, don't look at Fang Hengxie staying behind closed doors. The Tianji Mansion has been in operation for many years, with power in the government and the public. There are countless forces in the open and secret. If he wants to make a move, he can shake the world without leaving home! Why do you think Huo Jue fought Aqiu and went to the capital? Why do you think Xi Tingyun stayed in the Nanjiang palace as the chief executive? Fang Hengxie covered the sky with his hands, it didn’t happen overnight. The Weapons Bureau is just the tip of the iceberg. Don’t be afraid You are joking, if you hadn’t arrived in Pingbo City and entered the Weapons Bureau, my brother and I would have watched Bureau Cheng and his gang go amok as usual. How could there be such courage to bring them to justice?”

Mu Zhenliu was silent.

As the saying goes, the enemy of the enemy is the friend.

The question is, Qu Kangyun and Fang Hengxie, who is the real enemy.

Seeing that he was deep in thought, Yu Donghai cheered him up: "I know that Vice Minister Qu and Prime Minister Shen were a little unhappy, but this is the internal affairs of the High Heaven Pavilion. It's normal for my family to fight and fight behind closed doors. After so many years, Prime Minister Shen and Deputy Prime Minister Qu have long since turned their hostility into friendship, so why should my brother still be worried about it?"

Mu Zhenliu found out that Yu Donghai's face was unusually thick.

"If my brother is still hesitant, I still have a few words. If you are still indifferent after listening to these few words, even if I, Yu Donghai, have blind eyes and misjudged the wrong person." Yu Donghai emphasized his tone, as if his patience had been worn out .

But who is Mu Zhenliu?Shen Zhenghe, the son of the first staff member beside him, used both soft and hard methods. He had never seen Fan Ji since he was a child, but he still treated him calmly: "Master Yu, please speak freely."

Seeing his reluctance, Yu Donghai was also a little discouraged, and the interest in speaking was not as arrogant as before, with a bit of alienation: "Do you know why Fang Hengxie hid in Tianji Mansion and dared not come out? "

Mu Zhenliu said: "Palace Master Fang has always acted unexpectedly, forgive me for being blunt and unable to guess."

Yu Donghai said: "Fang Hengxie's existence today is all thanks to the emperor's hand. Without the emperor, he is nothing. It is precisely because he knows this that he avoids living in Tianji Mansion. This is a sign of weakness and self-punishment. It's a pity. No matter how low his posture is now, it's useless, the emperor already hates him to the bone! If he hadn't had many henchmen, even the emperor would be wary of rats, he would have been imprisoned long ago!"

Susha said so, and Yu Donghai said so, it seems that the emperor really detested Fang Hengxie.Nine out of ten times that rumor is true.

Sure enough, Yu Donghai said: "It's only Fang Hengxie's fault. His heart is not enough, and he has a heart of disobedience!"

Mu Zhenliu pretended to be surprised: "Fang Hengxie is already under one person and above ten thousand people. The emperor obeys him, so why not be satisfied? What's more, his power is bestowed by the emperor. Without the emperor, his reputation would be unfair , unable to move an inch!"

Yu Donghai said: "That's why he encouraged King Xin to force the palace, and wanted to use him as a puppet, to truly coerce the emperor to order the world!"

When this rumor spread in the capital, it was when the mentor entered the capital.At that time, the emperor led all the officials to greet him, and his mentor was in the limelight. On the other hand, Fang Hengxie hid in Tianji Mansion and stayed at home.The comparison between the hatchback makes the rumors spread more and more widely, and the more they are said, the more true they are.

Neither Mu Zhenliu nor Shen Zhenghe believed it.After all, how could Yi Fang's scheming city government support King Xin, whose mother's family and wife's family are not obvious, his own qualifications are limited, and he has no influence in the court?

Now thinking about it from Fang Hengxie's standpoint, he was very likely to be dissatisfied because of Shen Zhenghe's entry into the capital, and he took the risk because he was afraid that his position as the number one favorite would be shaken.

It seems that power is really a disaster, and even people like Fang Hengxie cannot avoid it.

Yu Donghai saw that there was regret on Mu Zhenliu's face, and he laughed: "If I didn't know the details of my brother, I knew that you and Shen Xiangqing were the same father and son, and judging by your expression at this time, I would have thought you were Fang A crooked person."

Mu Zhenliu said: "When Fang Hengxie Hengkong was born, he was so talented and stunning that it really caught the attention of the world."

Seeing that he made no secret of his admiration for his political opponents, Yu Donghai couldn't help being a little surprised: "Oh, don't tell me you can't be exempt?"

Mu Zhenliu said: "Actually, I had the honor to meet Palace Master Fang once."

What he said aroused Yu Donghai's curiosity.Since he became an official, he has been released all the time, so naturally he has no chance to meet Fang Hengxie. "Oh? Is it really as rumored...extraordinary?"

Mu Zhenliu said: "Looking at his appearance, he can indeed be called a god."

Yu Donghai smiled and said, "I don't believe it. In my eyes, brother Mu is the god."

Mu Zhenliu shook his head and said, "Palace Master Fang and I are like blue tiles and jasper, we dare not compare."

Seeing that he admired Fang Hengxie so much, Yu Donghai felt a little bit of unease in his heart: "Fang Hengxie looks like a glamorous man, but he actually has ulterior motives. Don't be deceived by his appearance!"

Mu Zhenliu said: "What Master Yu said is very true."

Yu Donghai didn't expect him to admit it so happily, and he couldn't figure out what he meant for a while.

Mu Zhenliu said: "To be honest, my teacher is also a little worried about the various weapons bureaus under the jurisdiction of Tianji Mansion."

Yu Donghai secretly rejoiced: It's finally here.

Mu Zhenliu said: "It's just that I couldn't get in the other places, so I was sent here. I was gearing up and ready to show my strengths. It just so happened that Ju Cheng and the others obeyed me. I really didn't expect this to happen later. The change."

Yu Donghai's face hurt a little.Mu Zhenliu's remarks clearly blamed him for meddling in his own business and ruined his arrangement. "Don't think that the bureau chiefs are obedient and obedient now. They did the same to Mr. Liao back then. They bowed their heads and obeyed their orders. After Mr. Liao trusted them with confidence, they began to obey others. You can see these people in the smog of the Military Bureau. dirty tricks!"

Ju Cheng and others couldn't jump out to refute him, and naturally Mu Zhenliu couldn't.

"Actually, I'm looking for Jucheng to make meritorious service as soon as possible..." Mu Zhenliu paused, and said shyly, "Although Pingbo City is good, it's too far away from the capital."

Why didn't Yu Donghai understand what he meant, these words were originally from his heart.

Pingbo City is located in the southwest, far away from the capital. It does not have the affluence of the south of the Yangtze River, and it is not like Nanjiang, which is always cared about by the emperor. It is no different from the cold palace.Although he talked about Vice Minister Qu one by one, he knew in his heart that Qu Kangyun might not remember him.On the contrary, the relationship between Mu Zhenliu and Shen Zhenghe is extraordinary, no matter how far they are sent, they will return someday.It is precisely because of this that he wants to have a relationship with Mu Zhenliu. Even if he fails to achieve results, Qu Kangyun will look at him differently based on this relationship.

Mu Zhenliu said: "Master Liao said that there was something unusual about the Military Weapons Bureau, so he thought he could please his mentor. Alas, I was too impatient and rushed in greedily."

Yu Donghai said: "Maybe it's a crooked attack."

Mu Zhenliu's eyes lit up: "Could it be that what Ju Cheng really said?"

Yu Donghai nodded and said: "He said he didn't know what you were talking about, but Mr. Liao had a quirk in his life, he would go to Gutang Town every two months."

Mu Zhenliu said: "Gutang Town is in the north of Pingbo City, close to Zhenxi City, and is rich in sweet-scented osmanthus wine. Master Liao likes wine?"

Yu Donghai smiled and said: "Master Liao is lustful and famous far and wide."

It was a bit disrespectful to tease the deceased, Yu Donghaizhi said a word, but kept silent.

Mu Zhenliu thought for a while and said, "I want to take a look at Master Liao's former residence."

Yu Donghai paused with a smile: "But what's wrong?"

"I just want to take a look." Mu Zhenliu said.

Yu Donghai said: "In order to frighten the back house, Mrs. Liao packed all Master Liao's things into the study. If you want to see it, I will go and let you know. After all, you and Master Liao are also in the same robe. See things and think about others , Mrs. Liao will not refuse if I think about it."

Mu Zhenliu said: "Then there is Master Lao Yu."

Yu Donghai said with a smile: "Brother Mu, if you see something good, don't forget me, brother."

Of course, the good things he said were not money, but related to the Military Weapons Bureau.

Mu Zhenliu said: "Of course."

Yu Donghai came out from the Weapons Bureau, thought through the conversation between the two of them, and suddenly realized that he had been "confiding his heart" for a long time before being dismissed by Mu Zhenliu with a few words.

In any case, at least a preliminary alliance consensus has been reached.

It's good here.

He comforted himself as he walked.

On the other hand, Mu Zhenliu knew that if he entered the door together with Yu Donghai today, it would cause dissatisfaction among the others in the Weapons Bureau, so he immediately took out the silver and asked him to buy five gifts and send them to Wushiling's house.

The show of goodwill finally saved a little word of mouth.

The next day, Yu Donghai sent a sedan chair to pick him up to Liao Mansion.

Mu Zhenliu remembered that Susha was good, and he didn't know when he would come back, so he specially left a letter for him before leaving.

Since Lord Liao's accident, the Liao Mansion has been in decline, and the front door is deserted. When Mu Zhenliu's sedan chair stopped, it seemed a little abrupt.

Mu Zhenliu voted in the greeting card according to the ceremony, and put a stick of incense on Mr. Liao's spiritual seat - this was the first time he came after Mr. Liao passed away.Mr. Liao's visit was extremely disgraceful, and the Liao Mansion was so quiet that no guests were invited to the door.

Mrs. Liao did not come out to receive her, and the housekeeper arranged for it.

When Mu Zhenliu entered the study room, he was surprised by the rich collection of books.The bookshelves are densely packed, and more than a dozen boxes are full of books. According to the housekeeper, this is only a part.

The steward said: "Whatever you want, Mr. Mu, you can just find it yourself."

Mu Zhenliu said: "I wonder if I can take a look at Mr. Liao's calligraphy?"

The butler pointed to a bookshelf and said, "The top row is what the master usually writes."

After Mu Zhenliu thanked him, he couldn't wait to take down the book.

The handwriting of the old Zhangju is very handsome, showing a sense of fortitude.

Mu Zhenliu flipped through each book, and after finishing the flip, he looked a little disappointed.He turned around the room, and suddenly pulled out a scroll from the corner of the wall.The person in the painting is bright and enchanting, presumably it is a certain confidante from the old boss.What really caught Mu Zhenliu's attention was the inscription. It was clearly the same words, but the style of writing was completely different from that on the bookshelf.

Mu Zhenliu suppressed the excitement in his heart and closed his eyes.

The informer is indeed the old boss.
