Chapter 21: A pawn in front of the horse
Mrs. Liang was startled, and before she could speak with trembling lips, a young man of fourteen or fifteen years old ran out of the room.

The young man shouted loudly: "Aunt, my nephew's family has a grievance, please ask my aunt to make the decision!"

Ah?
Zhao Fujin's eyes were dazzled, and a young man who even knelt down on her shoulder knelt down in front of her with a snap: "Ask aunt to make the decision for my family!"

The young man's face was reddish and his clothes were in tatters. When he raised his head, he realized that the Di Ji who came to the door was a beautiful little girl.

However, in order to save his home, he shamelessly kowtowed again and begged:

"This house was left by the ancestors of my Xu family. It has an independent house deed and is not built by the government. How could Mr. Wang just ask for it if he wants it, and just open his mouth and kick out the whole family, old and young?"

"Huh? Jianmingtang actually handles internal affairs?" Zhao Fujin said with doubts and looked at the clever Qiong Yu: "Send someone back to the palace to ask the official to see if he is confused. This Xu family's house is It cannot be assigned at will.”

After receiving the order, Qiong Yu turned around and left immediately.

Qiong Ye was startled. Just as he was about to persuade Qiong Yu not to follow the nonsense, he heard Hui Fu loudly say: "This is not the official's will. Please wait first."

As he spoke, he turned and winked at the little eunuch behind him.

Then he pointed to the east courtyard wall of Xu's house, pretending to be uneasy: "Look, your highness, the house behind this wall is the house given by Wang Fuxinde, the great scholar of Xuanhe Palace -"

"Oh, that house is not suitable?" Zhao Fujin was too lazy to listen to his rambling: "If it is not suitable, how about I go to the palace to find the official and ask him to give Wang Fu another house?"

What do you mean?It doesn’t matter what your status is, you are just an imperial concubine with no power or position. If you are not favored by the officials, who will care about you?

"That..." Hui Fu cursed in his heart, but didn't show it on his face.

He glanced at the cowering Mrs. Xu and Xu Pan who was kneeling on the ground, and was secretly angry in his heart. However, this mother and son had no rules. They had to bargain when Jianmingtang came to the door!

Emperor Kangfu could speak well in front of the officials, and in the future, the governor would smooth things over, and his reputation as a bully would also be recognized in front of the officials.

He let out a long sigh in his heart, and looked back at the eunuch behind him, only to see that the little eunuch was kneeling extremely honestly, without even raising his head. The two glances he made showed the blind man!

He was extremely irritated and said bravely: "The house given by the government is naturally very good, but behind this wall is a viewing pond, which is close to the wall. The academicians are afraid that the water in the pond will collapse the courtyards of the two families." The wall is damaged, so I plan to renovate it to avoid disturbing the Xu family’s wife, so..."

"Is that why we drove them away?" Zhao Fujin's voice was cold: "The governors in Jianming Hall are supposed to work for the officials. When you came here, did you follow the orders of the officials?"

"This..." Hui Fu naturally did not dare to say what he said to Mrs. Xu and her son in front of Zhao Fujin: "When the official gave the mansion to him, he told Bachelor Wang to repair it as he saw fit."

"Let him repair his own yard as appropriate. Why did you go to the Xu family's house?" Zhao Fujin took two steps forward and kicked Hui Fu on the shoulder: "Those who take advantage of human power are doing harm to the officials outside. reputation!"

"Come on, grab them for me!"

After hearing the order, the guards were all stunned for a moment. After all, they were only ordered to protect the Emperor Ji when they went out, which did not mean they could arrest the eunuchs of Jianmingtang.

The leader of the imperial guards was named Hu Mingfang. He only hesitated for a moment before stepping forward and pressing Hui Fu to the ground.

With him taking the lead, the remaining guards also quickly took action. The five eunuchs, including Hui Fu, were pinned to the ground by several guards in just a moment.

Xu Peng's face lit up, and his originally awkward kneeling posture straightened up a bit. He said loudly, "Thank you, aunt, for upholding justice!"

This thick-skinned!
Mrs. Xu didn't have the shame to look at it. She turned away and lowered her head, gave a Wanfu gift, and followed her son's voice and said, "Your Highness, the Xu family is grateful."

She is not so shameless as to call Di Ji a sister.Huifu didn't react after being held down. He originally thought that Emperor Kangfu would be taboo after announcing Jianmingtang's name, no matter how favored he was. However, he didn't expect that even though he was kind to her for a while, she didn't even hesitate. He was pressed to the ground affectionately!
Dang Ji shouted loudly: "Di Ji, my master is Liang..."

"Shut his mouth!" Zhao Fujin didn't wait for him to finish shouting, and shouted sternly: "You are still here ruining the reputation of a court official. I think you don't want to live anymore!"

It was the first time he had done something like this. Zhao Fujin was quite nervous. He held his hands tightly in his sleeves for fear of losing his momentum.

Hui Fu was gagged, but he was still whining, staring at Zhao Fujin with his eyes, extremely dissatisfied.

Zhao Ji is different from other officials.

He has a large number of heirs, and Guang Diji currently has more than 20. If there are too many, they will not be very noble. Others don't know, but they who are inmates know everything.

Many imperial concubines of the official family died in infancy. Apart from giving them posthumous titles, he never even looked at them again.

Even if Emperor Kangfu was favored, she was not given special treatment. At most, she could only see the officials a few times and get advice from the officials.

As for power, there is no money.

There is no comparison with Liang Dujian, who holds real power, but he did not expect that she would be so unreasonable and arrest her after just saying a few words!

He had been following Dujian Liang for so long. He was held in high esteem wherever he went, and now he was caught by a little Di Ji. How could he be convinced?
At the moment, I just hope that Liang Dujian can get the letter soon and rescue him.

"You, send someone to take them to Kaifeng Mansion, hand them over to the governor, and say that he falsely conveyed the official's will, humiliated the family members of the officials in the dynasty, and injured the officials' children." Zhao Fujin looked at Hu Fang, who was the first to take action: " Just say what I said, if he is not brought to trial, I will go to him personally to ask for an explanation!"

Hu Fang had complied with the order before, and this time was no exception. He immediately named five imperial guards and asked them to send the people to Kaifeng Mansion.

The five eunuchs were escorted out of the door. Mrs. Xu's eyes were red, and she immediately knelt down: "Di Ji, it's a child who is ignorant. He got Di Ji into trouble, and he asked Di Ji to hold him accountable!"

"Mother~~" Xu Panggeng nodded: "This is the only house we have in our family. Even if Di Ji takes my life, I won't regret it!"

"You still said!" Mrs. Xu's tears finally broke down: "This house is nothing more than an external possession, so what if it is taken away, but it drags Di Ji into it. If she is targeted by that villain in the future because of this, you What kind of compensation can I get?"

"The Emperor is kind-hearted, but you don't know~~" Mrs. Xu thought that Zhao Fujin didn't know the power of it, and planned to tell her about Liang Shicheng so that she would be prepared and not be tricked by Liang Shicheng.

Qiong Ye rolled her eyes at the side, feeling extremely depressed: Mrs. Xu didn't say a word when Di Ji was in the spotlight, but after she left, she looked so guilty. It was really shameless. pole!
If it were someone else, that would be fine. If Di Ji offended someone, she would just hide in the imperial city, and no one could reach out to touch her.

It happened to be Liang Shicheng. Even though the servants in the palace were not from his name, they were still very attached to him.

If he had evil intentions and secretly attacked Di Ji, it would be impossible to guard against it.

In addition, there was Empress Meng who was watching her, and Di Ji suddenly made two powerful enemies.

However, Di Ji didn't know anything about it. She was completely unprepared for Mrs. Xu's hypocritical face, which really made people worried.

Qiong Ye let out a long sigh, her brows knitted together, her face looking extremely ugly.

Xu Peng was scolded by Mrs. Xu, but he showed no regret at all. He put his elbows on the ground, his long and thin body lying at the feet of Zhao Fujin: "Your Highness, I am not talented. I am willing to be driven by Your Highness in the future, pointing east and west. I risked my life by fighting the West, and I only wanted to be His Highness’s pawn!”
