Nine thousand years old [rebirth]

After coming out of Jingren Palace, Xue Shu returned to Xichang.

Ever since he came back from Tianjin Wei and won the favor of Emperor Longfeng, Xichang has changed his appearance.Xue Shu first promoted a few excellent performers from among the five hundred soldiers who followed him to Tianjin Wei to be the leaders, and then transferred three thousand soldiers from the Four Guards Camp to fill the manpower of the West Factory.Now, although he is only in charge of thousands of households, Xichang is full of his staff, and he is the only one who follows the lead.

As soon as he entered the door, the head on duty greeted him: "Does the supervisor want to go back to the room to rest?"

Xue Shu waved his hand and said, "Go and see Chen He first."

Chen He is now in the prison of Xichang. Xue Shu has been interrogated once before, but Chen He is a tough man, and he is also considered loyal to Yin Chengjing, so he didn't spit out anything.

Xue Shu was not in a hurry at first, thinking that he was too old to withstand severe punishment.He didn't push him too hard, and he was locked in a dark prison for the past few days to sharpen his ambition first.

But after what happened today, Xue Shu was full of hostility, he just wanted to cause Yin Chengjing some trouble, and he didn't want to wait any longer.

No matter how hard the bones are, they also have weaknesses. He doesn't believe that Chen He is really not afraid of anything.

He ordered Chen He to be taken to the execution room.

Chen He was locked in a dark prison for several days, without light, without drinking water, and not even hearing a sound, and his whole body was very depressed.When he was framed by the two guards, he stared at him for a long time before he saw that the person in front of him was Xue Shu, and cursed, "What are you going to do?"

Xue Shu narrowed his eyes and looked at him, then said slowly: "Master Chen still not willing to explain? The silver taels copied from your home don't match the figures from Wan Youliang's confession."

Chen He snorted: "It's just Wan Youliang's random accusations, so of course I can't do it! Thinking that I've been an official for decades, I don't dare to slack off in my work, you stray dog ​​can't be tortured into a trick! I just gave up this one Fate will not allow you to succeed!"

"Master Chen really has backbone." Xue Shu laughed inexplicably: "I just don't know that your little grandson has inherited Mr. Chen's backbone?"

Chen He's face changed slightly: "What do you mean?"

Xue Shu sat down on the chair and looked at him contemptuously: "You don't think you can keep the Chen family by giving up yourself, do you?"

He clapped his hands, and a waiter led a six or seven-year-old boy in.The boy looked ignorant, and when he saw Chen He tied to the torture rack, he was about to pounce on him, still calling "Grandpa".

The fan servant behind him hugged him in time to prevent him from coming forward, and the boy struggled and cried.

Chen He's eyeballs trembled, and he said in a hateful voice: "A dog! He's only six years old!"

"Our family heard that when Master Chen was at home, he doted on this little grandson the most. Now it seems that the rumors are true."

Xue Shu laughed, but there was no pity in his expression.He got up slowly, and picked up a red-hot iron with pliers: "Young Master Chen was born smart and cute, and what Mr. Chen committed will not implicate his family. It's just that the Chen family is in ruins right now. When the young master grows up As an adult, there may be a chance to make a comeback." At this point he paused, and slowly approached the red soldering iron to Young Master Chen: "But if our soldering iron falls, Young Master Chen is missing something , the hope of the Chen family in the future will be cut off."

After saying that, the soldering iron approached slowly, only one foot away from Young Master Chen's cheek.

The boy probably sensed the danger instinctively, struggling and crying in fear, calling "Grandpa" indistinctly for help.

Chen He's eyes were wide open, the fundus of his eyes was bloodshot, and his canthus were about to split.

With a smile on the corner of Xue Shu's mouth, he stared at him firmly, the soldering iron in his hand was still gradually approaching.

For a moment, the only sound left in the execution room was the cry of children in terror.

Other than that, no one made a sound, and the silence was terrifying.

Seeing that the red-hot soldering iron was getting closer and closer, and the red-hot light of the soldering iron had already reflected on the child's tender cheeks, Chen He finally couldn't hold back, and shouted hoarsely: "I said! Don't touch him!" !"

"That's right." Xue Shu removed the pliers with a smile, threw the soldering iron back, and said to the fan officer: "Take the young master outside, and wait for Mr. Chen to explain everything that needs to be explained. Just let them Grandpa and grandson get together for a while."

Chen He looked at him full of hatred, but he knew that he didn't see the rabbit and didn't stalk the eagle, so he didn't dare to provoke him anymore, so he could only explain everything.

Xue Shu looked at the confession with satisfaction, and said to Chen He, who had hatred in his eyes: "Master Chen, you don't have to look at our family like this. You have suffered so much in this prison to cover up for the third prince. You don't know if it's not Our family has arranged for people to watch, and your family can't keep it. Speaking of it, you have to thank our family for saving your life."

After finishing speaking, regardless of what happened to Chen He, he took the confession and went to report to Emperor Longfeng.

Emperor Longfeng is summoning people from the Ministry of Industry to discuss the repair of the Taoist temple. Recently, they have raided the homes of a number of ministers one after another. The treasury is quite abundant, so Emperor Longfeng has the idea of ​​​​repairing the Taoist temple.

Hearing that Xue Shu asked for an interview, he threw the blueprint back to the newly appointed minister of the Ministry of Industry, saying: "If you change it again, this Taoist temple is not grand enough."

The servant of the Ministry of Industry took the drawings and went out with a sad face, just passing by Xue Shu.

He sideways looked at the person secretly, only to feel that Xue Shu's face was stern, and his brows and eyes were extremely hostile.Seemingly aware of his gaze, he glanced sideways, which sent a chill down the bottom of his heart.

The minister of the Ministry of Industry did not dare to look any further, and hurriedly retreated.

Xue Shu entered the hall and saluted.

Emperor Longfeng put his hands on his knees and leaned forward to look at him: "What's the matter?"

Xue Shu was different from Gao Xian, Gao Yuan and others, when he met Emperor Longfeng, he never flattered him, and he seldom talked nonsense, he directly presented Chen He's confession.

"Chen He has confessed, this is a confession."

Emperor Longfeng took it, and he just glanced at it casually, but stopped when he saw Yin Chengjing's name, his face gradually became ugly: "It's the third child?"

In his impression, the youngest, Yin Chengjing, never liked to participate in government affairs and make friends with officials. Although he was a bit dissolute and always hang out with actors, he didn't have to inherit the rule, and it didn't matter if he indulged a bit.In addition, Yin Chengjing's biological mother, Concubine De, is an old man in the hidden mansion. Although her color is no longer, she has a gentle and understanding temperament, and he is willing to go over occasionally.

So for this son, while he was relieved, he also indulged and loved him somewhat.

But the confession presented by Xue Shu now broke his usual impression of the third child.

Before he knew it, the third child actually colluded with Chen He and got a share of the Changlu Salt Farm!

Emperor Longfeng had always been a suspicious person. He had never been suspicious of Yin Chengjing before, but now that he was suspicious, he began to suspect that Yin Chengjing really only got involved in this matter all these years?Are there other officials in the DPRK and China working for Lao San?

Originally, he only thought that the prince was a threat to him, and he intended to support the second son to check and balance the prince.But now it seems that the prince is not the only one who is thinking about the dragon chair under his buttocks.

Emperor Longfeng suppressed his anger, and said in a deep voice: "Go and announce the third prince!"

When Yin Chengjing was announced to the imperial study, a bad premonition lingered in his heart.

Just as something happened in Jiaoyuan today, Emperor Longfeng announced him to come over. No matter how you look at it, the two are inseparable.But he had already cleaned up the matter of the banana orchard, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't be found.

Yin Chengjing settled down, restrained his mind and entered the imperial study.

When he saw Xue Shu standing beside him, his eyelids twitched inexplicably.Just as he was about to salute, he was knocked down by Emperor Longfeng's feet with an inkstone, and the splashed ink splashed all over his body.

Yin Chengjing was startled, and quickly knelt down, with a panicked expression: "Father, calm down, I don't know what my son has committed?"

Seeing his innocent face, Emperor Longfeng smiled instead. He looked at this son for a long time, as if he was meeting him for the first time.After a long time, he threw Chen He's confession at Yin Chengjing's feet: "Look for yourself."

Yin Chengjing's heart skipped a beat, he picked up the confession and glanced at it, then immediately grabbed the ground with his head: "It's all because of the obsession of my son and ghost, please father Mo because of my son's anger and ruined my body."

Seeing that he didn't quibble, Emperor Longfeng's anger eased a little, and he looked at him with an indistinct expression: "Oh? Tell me what's going on?"

Yin Chengjing's eyes darkened, and he said in a trembling voice: "Father also knows that my son has always liked to raise actors. The year before last, because he fell in love with a famous actor, he wanted to take it for his own use, but he was short of money... At that time, he happened to be with Chen Shilang's family. The Second Young Master has some friendship, and when he was drunk, he accidentally heard him leak the deal between Chen Shilang and Wan Youliang, so he became interested..."

He was well aware of Emperor Longfeng's taboos, so he pushed all the transactions with Chen He to the relationship between money and money.

Emperor Longfeng would be more at ease by a dandy who got involved in the salt administration to support actors than a son who was deeply scheming and ambitious to win ministers into thinking about the throne.

After hearing what he said, Emperor Longfeng's expression softened.It's just that he was suspicious after all, and he didn't fully believe it at this time, so he just said with a calm face: "No matter what your motive is, getting involved in the salt government is already a big mistake, and it's your first offense, and you will be fined." One year, three months of confinement. And those actors in your house are really too dirty, and they will be dismissed after going back today."

Yin Chengjing was quite calm when he heard it, but when he heard that Emperor Longfeng wanted him to dismiss the actors, his eyes became turbulent.

Penalty or grounding are insignificant, but among those actors, many of them are undercover spies that he cultivated with great efforts, but it is just to pass the news conveniently by concealing their identities as actors.If they are dismissed at this point and forced to go into the dark, it will inevitably be inconvenient to act in the future.

He wanted to say something more, but Emperor Longfeng didn't want to listen anymore, he waved his hand and sent him out.

Yin Chengjing gritted her teeth and backed out, and could only bear with it for the time being.

Xue Shu glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and curled his lips indistinctly.

After Yin Chengjing withdrew, the emperor looked at Xue Shu again and asked another matter: "I heard that the crown prince called you over today."

He seemed to be asking casually, but Xue Shu did not ignore the temptation in his eyes.

Xue Shu did not deny it either, and bowed back: "Yes. His Royal Highness drank more wine today, and probably recalled some unhappiness with the minister when he was in Tianjin Wei, so he punished the minister to kneel for half an hour. He also gave me a set of worn clothes for my minister to wash."

He lowered his head, and his tone of statement was always flat.

Emperor Longfeng didn't expect such an answer, he was surprised for a moment, and then laughed: "The prince has always been kind, why is he so hostile to you alone?"

"The subject's temperament has never been very pleasing, and it is reasonable for His Highness the Crown Prince not to like the subject." Xue Shu didn't seem to have any dissatisfaction: "Besides, since the subject is loyal to His Majesty, as long as His Majesty trusts the subject, that is enough."

Emperor Longfeng's smile became wider when he heard the words, and there was no temptation in his eyes.

The reason why he reused Xue Shu was because of his unlovable temperament.If Xue Shu was also like Gao Xian and others, with long sleeves and good dancing to flatter left and right, and get close to the prince and courtiers, he would not feel relieved.

The more people who hate the impeachment of Xue Shu, the more relieved he is.

Emperor Longfeng was in a good mood, and after rewarding him, he sent him out.

When Xue Shu came out from the royal study, it was already dark outside.

He glanced in the direction of Ciqing Palace from a distance, knowing that many eyes might be on the prince today, and it would be inconvenient for him to go there, so he went straight back to Xichang.

Although he is now the de facto person in charge of Xichang, Xue Shu still lives in the room he was assigned at the beginning. His room is extremely simple, with no extra items except the necessary utensils.

After returning to the room, Xue Shu closed the doors and windows, lit the lamp again, and then took out Yin Chengyu's clothes.

The clothes were packed in a package, and they were already a little wrinkled. Xue Shu stroked them carefully with his fingers, smoothing out the wrinkles.The material of the prince's robe is naturally excellent, the satin surface is soft and smooth, when the fingertips are passed over, it feels like delicate skin.

Xue Shu unexpectedly recalled the figure reflected on the screen.

The screen was too thin, and the room was too quiet, so that even though Yin Chengyu deliberately lowered his movements and voice, all the movement and sound fell into his eyes and ears.

Xue Shu closed his eyes, and the expression of Yin Chengyu when he threw the changed clothes to him appeared in front of his eyes again.

His plump lips were slightly raised, and his condescending eyes were like baited hooks, leading him to indulge in it step by step.

Knowing that it was a trap, a forked road from which there was no turning back, he stepped into it willingly and happily.

Xue Shu picked up the snow-white coat, buried his face in it, and took a deep breath.

The fragrance of Xueling plum mixed with the smell of heather, the clear and cold plum fragrance is also contaminated with desire, which makes people want to climb and possess.
