Ming Dynasty, starting from the empty seal case

Chapter 23 Take Su Guiyuan!

Household Department.

After all the officials went to court, they had nothing to do and went home. Today they had to go back to the government office after work. Only the officials from the Ministry of Revenue were not left behind, and they all gathered at the government office.

However, when a group of people came to the government office, they didn't say anything and just stood nervously.

The heavy rain was so heavy that the blood outside the Meridian Gate was washed away, spreading blood everywhere. When these household officials lowered their heads, they could see the blood on the soles of their shoes. Thinking of the recent murders, they felt sad for a moment. They felt that there was no other gloomier moment in life than this.

at last.

Following the sound of footsteps, several people quickly raised their heads and looked forward.

I saw two figures walking away in a hurry.

The leader is old and strong, and the one behind him is pure and elegant.

"Master Shangshu, Minister, have you heard clearly? What does the memorial say?"

When everyone in the household saw the two men coming back, they immediately ran forward excitedly and asked.

"Oh, stop asking, I can't ask anything." Wang Lifu, the minister, sighed helplessly. Maybe he was tired from walking. It was really hard work for someone of his age. He sat down on the chair as soon as he came in.

The person who spoke was none other than Li Wentai, the left minister of the household department.

As soon as the court came, the two of them wanted to use their "facial brushing" to go to the Zhongshu Province to ask the two prime ministers and let them explore the tone of Shi Tujie.

but……

"I don't know if Tu Jie's mouth is locked or glued. He is clearly following Xiang Hu's lead, but at this time, he hesitates and dares not speak. Huh! Let's ask him three hundred times, I can’t tell you a single thing!”

Li Wentai, the left minister of the household department, although he looks elegant and elegant, his words are strong and powerful, and his words are full of vigor.

Wang Lifu, on the other hand, may be really old.

He just sighed: "Tu Jie is a smart man. Keeping silent at this time is of course a smart man's approach."

"Bullshit!" Li Wentai yelled, "He is clearly looking out for us, and is afraid that if we leave, he will pour the beans through the bamboo tube."

"By the way, I'm talking about Shangshu, where did the words of Qin Tianjian and Sheng Shangguang thunder but not rain come from? Are they filled with mud in their heads? Or are they sincerely harming us? If it weren't for that memorial that attracted everyone today Having caught His Majesty’s attention, the shaky official hats that you and I, the Household Department members, are wearing, will probably be taken off today.”

Wang Lifu said helplessly: "With your temper, I have the support of the Hubu sky. If it collapses, it will also fall on me. But this time it is not without gain. Didn't we hear it? The Holy One has released the news, so that those The matter of inspecting Su Guiyuan has spread."

"It's probably the memorial. We need to find the person behind it! The Holy Emperor is suspicious. No matter how abundant the evidence is, he won't believe that it was written by a little kid."

Li Wentai added, "What happened today can be regarded as an anecdote from ancient times to modern times!"

Wang Lifu seemed to have had enough rest.

He stood up slowly, with a hint of sincerity in his old eyes.

"That's true. I just don't know whether what Su Guiyuan said is true or false."

Li Wentai interrupted directly, "It must be fake!"

"Don't worry!" Wang Lifu said calmly and maturely, "It doesn't matter if it's true or false, or it doesn't matter if it's false or true."

"The Holy One is really interested in murdering this case. The number of people killed today is less than a hundred at all costs. Fortunately, the memorial interrupted the Holy One."

"Whether it's true or not this time, it can be delayed for at least three to five days. I just hope that Su Guiyuan, or the person who submitted the memorial, really knows a little bit. I don't want to be completely right, but I also want not to be wrong so much."

"This is hope."

Li Wentai wanted to say something, but in the end he sighed helplessly, "We never imagined that one day our lives would be related to the Ninth Grade Inspection!"

"It's not your life." Wang Lifu seemed to comfort him, and then pointed to the hat on his head.

"It's my official hat. It looks like it can be worn for three days."

……

"Xian'er! Xian'er! They're gone."

It is already dusk in Xinghua Lane.

My mother, Wu Xiu, had been watching the door. She was confused before, but finally listened to Su Xian's analysis.

As long as the people outside are still there, my father will be fine for the time being.

If they broke in and took the two of them away, something must have happened to my father.

After Wu Xiu heard this, he looked outside almost every quarter of an hour.

As for Su Xian, it was impossible to say that he wasn't uneasy, and he kept paying attention.

But suddenly.

After hearing what her mother said, Su Xian quickly looked out the door.

Sure enough, he left.

"What, what's going on? Can we go out?"

Wu Xiu was nervous and didn't know what to do, and finally looked at his son, but he was too young and needed to be protected by himself. He gritted his teeth thinking about it, and after a long psychological struggle, he had the courage to walk outside.

As soon as she went out, Wu Xiu still closed her eyes because of fear, as if she was afraid that someone would take her away. After waiting for a while, everything was as usual, and she looked around in surprise.

"Xian'er, I'll wait for you while my mother goes out to inquire about the news."

With that said, Wu Xiu walked out of the street.

Su Xian stayed where he was. It was a good thing that there was a change outside the door, which meant that the memorial must be useful. If he left now, could it be that his father was fine?

He felt uneasy. Anyway, the entry for [Tong Yan Wuji] had now completely turned into a bronze color, and even faintly started to sparkle with some silver stars. Just when Su Xian's thoughts were racing.

Sudden.

Wu Xiu walked towards home in despair, with a mixture of joy and sorrow in her eyes, "Three days, three days..."

"What?" Su Xian looked at him.

But Wu Xiu suddenly looked at Su Xian, "Xian'er, tell mother, what exactly did you write in that memorial? Your dad... your dad's brain is so stupid, can he figure it out?"

Soon, Wu Xiu told Su Xian everything he found out.

Su Xian was confused when he heard this. Why did Emperor Hongwu pay more attention to the case than the empty seal case itself, so he had to focus on the memorial?

Can father figure it out?
  Su Xian himself didn't know. He originally wanted to be more detailed, but as soon as he opened his mouth, people outside the door rushed in and took his father away...

It was obvious that her mother had heard about the river of blood outside the Meridian Gate, so the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and Su Xian knew that there was nothing she could do to comfort her at this time.

He frowned, thinking about what Emperor Hongwu was paying attention to.

In addition, he has discovered that the more the words are used, the better the effect seems to be, and the words themselves seem to be changing and strengthening.

Gradually.

Su Xian seemed to have made up his mind.

Now that we've reached this point, it's better to do another big one!

Anyway.

In addition to the memories of later generations, Su Xian himself grew up in this family from a baby waiting to be fed to what he is now. He originally wanted to grow up safely, but the world did not give him this opportunity.

Even if his father Su Guiyuan is outside, no matter how old-fashioned and pedantic he is, he is so sincere and dull that he is bullied.

Then he is also his father!

During the Hongwu period, he gave everything he could. He even risked his shame to let himself go to study at Guozi, and for the first time he learned how to find a way and begged for mercy.

Su Xian was a nerd in later generations. He had no hobbies except reading, and he didn't like to deal with people.

He knew very well that letting people like him go out to make friends with others and seek connections would be as good as death.

My father was able to risk his life, and he had the protection of his words. There was no reason why he couldn't risk his life.

not to mention.

He also needs his father to be promoted so that he can continue to add entries.

If he is really exiled, he will be a family member of the guilty minister, and there will be no chance of his status being improved. On the contrary, he could not tell at what point he caught the cold and died.

That is not only extremely tragic, but also a shame for time travel!
  While thinking about it.

Su Xian is also waiting for the last moment. Of course, if his father can think clearly, everything will be fine.

however……

first day.

Jinshen Hall, where Zhu Yuanzhang handled memorials.

"Has Su Guiyuan thought of it?"

"Your Majesty, there is no response yet."

"Well, don't worry about the first day. What about the Su family's small yard?"

"Except for the woman who went out yesterday to inquire about information, there was nothing else happening."

"Perhaps there has been some movement?"

"Your Majesty, your subordinates are watching. The Xinghua Lane itself is near the capital. I don't know how many times we have investigated it over the years. Most of them are familiar faces."

"Well, let's wait until the next day."

the next day.

"Still no movement?"

"Return to the Holy Spirit, no."

"Neither on either side?"

"Yes."

"That's weird. Didn't you go out to buy food or have it delivered or something? Just no movement at all?"

The voice that answered seemed helpless, "My subordinates looked at it carefully, and it was definitely not the case. The woman didn't go shopping for the past two days. Instead, she killed the chickens raised at home."

"Oh, that's very thoughtful, but children still need to eat more vegetables..."

Day three.

"Mao Xiang?"

"Your Majesty, there is still no movement..."

"We won't ask you this time!"

"Take Su Guiyuan!"
