Chapter 832

The backyard of the Duke's Mansion.

The lights were brightly lit, and Wang Ping'an was instructing the servants at home to clean the rooms, and he wanted to clean up several courtyards overnight for living.

After Wang Ping'an got home tonight, he got the news that the Wangs and his wife had already arrived in Chang'an with Xiao Taiping. According to the estimated distance, they would arrive in the afternoon tomorrow.Di Renjie also went to Beijing with his parents.

Originally, Di Renjie was not allowed to go to Beijing. He was still a county magistrate anyway, so it was impossible for him to leave his own land.But because brother Yi is now the prime minister, the so-called people in the court are easy to be officials, and once Wang Ping'an became prime minister, the number of people who flattered and flattered him was countless.

There was no need for Wang Ping'an to speak. Someone from the official department issued a transfer order to transfer Di Renjie back to Chang'an, and the sycophant was very good at doing things. When he transferred Di Renjie, he really worked hard. Dali Temple has worked as an office worker, which can be regarded as an "internship" for a period of time.

So, logically, Di Renjie was transferred to Dali Temple and became a master. He was a Beijing official under the seventh rank, and he was promoted to Di Renjie who was now at the seventh rank. Infinitely bright, the position of being thin but easy and easy to get promoted has always been filled by the sons of the big men in the court.

Not only that, even Qiu Tingxuan was also promoted, taking over Di Renjie's position as magistrate of Heshui County and becoming the head of the county.

When Wang Pingan heard that his parents would be able to enter Beijing tomorrow, he was overjoyed and didn't care about anything else. He immediately called out the servants and asked them to clean the room, change the bedding, and make preparations for the old man and his wife, as well as for Xiao Taiping. All the utensils that babies need, you can't wrong your baby girl.

While he was busy, the porter came to report that an imperial decree had arrived, and the person who delivered the decree was Mi Xiaomiao.The concierge is a clever boy who is best at identifying people, no matter if it is a big man in the court or in the palace, he knows everyone, Mi Xiaomiao didn't give his name, but he still told Wang Ping'an.

When Wang Pingan heard this, his head was buzzing, he was really angry and angry from the heart, and the evil came to his gallbladder.He strode out of the backyard to meet Mi Xiaomiao.

Mi Xiaomiao didn't enter the yard, he was embarrassed to go in, knowing that the matter had become a big deal, and it had reached the point where it would be difficult to end it.Wang Ping'an was assigned by the emperor to handle the case, but Wang Ping'an would definitely think that he was "recommended" by him.Let Wang Pingan stir up the smelly and dirty puddle of mud, not to mention Wang Pingan, anyone would be furious!
Wang Pingan came to the front yard, but did not see Mi Xiaomiao, and asked, "Where is Mr. Mi, didn't he bring the imperial edict?"

Hearing the voice of questioning, Mi Xiaomiao quickly stood up from the door and shouted: "President Wang, our family is here. We have something important to tell you. It is very important. It can make you get promoted and get rich!"

Wang Ping'an saw him coming in, his face darkened, and he said, "Promotion? I'm already the Duke of the state, and then I will be the king of the county. Do you think it's possible! Get rich? Which eye of yours has seen that I like yellow and white things?" !"

Mi Xiaomiao's face collapsed, and she said: "Oh, Wang Xiang, Grandpa Wang, Mrs. Wang, our family knows this and I'm sorry for you, but we can't blame our family!"

After saying something soft, he straightened his face and said: "The emperor has an order, Wang Ping'an accepts it!" After Wang Ping'an knelt down, he spoke out Li Zhi's order.

After the emperor's oral order was announced, before Wang Ping'an got up, Mi Xiaomiao knelt down for Wang Ping'an with a plop, and the two brothers knelt face to face.There were quite a few guards and servants in the courtyard, and they were all surprised to see the imperial envoy kneeling down to his master. What happened, why did he kneel down too?

Mi Xiaomiao said with a bitter face: "President Wang, we are our own people, so we don't talk about two different families. Tonight's matter, it is not you recommended by our family, but someone else. , you resign yourself to your fate, let's go!"

Seeing him kneeling down, Wang Pingan was taken aback for a moment, then said dissatisfiedly: "I said Master Mi, what did you say, it wasn't you who dragged me into the water, could it be someone else?" He stood up, He didn't help Mi Xiaomiao, his eyes were wide open, and he glared at Mi Xiaomiao.

Things in the imperial court are difficult, but they can always be done. Even if they can’t be done well, they can always be done badly. If it’s really not possible, I’ll stare at them and bully others. This kind of thing doesn’t need to be taught, as long as the official reaches a certain level Yes, of course it will!
But the affairs in the palace are not only difficult to handle, they are simply impossible to handle, and no matter how they are discussed, the emperor will definitely be involved in the end, which is absolutely thankless.Even if the matter is finally done, it will offend a large number of people, and some people even don't know how to offend them, and they will become enemies for no reason!
For affairs in the palace, hide as much as you can, especially the matter of Concubine Xiao Shu. Wang Ping'an is very clear that this is not a case without a head, but "difficult to handle with a head". It is either to offend the Queen or Shi Zhongchen. At that time, Changsun Wuji had to jump out and point fingers, and in the end he had to mix up this puddle of mud into a pot of shit, and whoever handled the case, this shit pot would be on his head.

Mi Xiaomiao quickly got up and whispered: "President Wang, to tell you the truth, it's really not our family who dragged you into the water, it's someone else!"

Wang Ping'an also asked in a low voice, "If it wasn't you, then who would it be?"

Mi Xiaomiao said: "It's... alone!"

"I know very well that it will definitely not be a dog!" Wang Pingan nodded, with a more serious expression of displeasure on his face.

Mi Xiaomiao sighed, and said, "Let's go into the house and talk!" He and Wang Ping'an entered the living room together, and told what happened.Finally, he wondered and said: "I don't know who that woman in Gengyou Hall is, she doesn't look like a concubine in the palace!"

Wang Pingan chuckled twice, and said: "It's a little nun who looks very similar to the former court lady Wu Meiniang, she..." He dragged his voice, but paused, pretending to swallow his saliva.

Mi Xiaomiao trembled, but he reacted very quickly, saying: "This matter has nothing to do with our family, so don't tell our family about it, Prime Minister Wang, let's talk about business!" The affairs in the palace are nothing more than a couple Ladies, especially when it comes to "former" court ladies, if they don't know, then don't know, this is the law of life preservation.

Mi Xiaomiao said again: "The emperor already knew that Concubine Xiao Shu was not short-sighted by herself, but the emperor didn't ask about the wound, but asked about Fangliang. Do you think it's strange? How could the emperor think... of course, The emperor is extremely wise, he will think of everything, but Fang Liang... Oh, you said that I, who saw the scene with my own eyes, didn't even think of it!"

Wang Pingan thought: "Just because of your IQ, do you still want to compare with Wu Meiniang? It will definitely not work in this life, but in the next life!" He said: "Your Majesty is wise and extremely wise. I, my servants, are willing to bow down."

After finishing speaking, he remained silent. He didn't mean to be negligent, and he didn't blame Mi Xiaomiao too much. After all, he didn't blame him for this matter, but he blamed Wu Meiniang in his heart. How could he let himself judge this case? If you really want to fight against the queen, even if you want to fight, you have to use her own strength, it's none of your own business!
But he didn't speak, and in Mi Xiaomiao's eyes, he still thought that Wang Ping'an was blaming him, and he thought to himself: "I have to find a chance to please him later, and I can't offend him." Without saying anything, he got up and left.

Wang Pingan didn't send him off, and he was not in the mood to order the servants to clean the room. He went back to his own room, thinking: "This is a big bad thing, it's very difficult!"

Lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, until it was almost dawn, then I dozed off, in a daze, a thought suddenly came to my mind, other people can find a scapegoat, why can't I?Why don't you find a scapegoat, push all bad things on him, and then I'll pretend to be a good guy!

As soon as he had this idea, he woke up immediately, and saw the sunlight seeping through the window paper, it was early morning, and he even missed the morning morning.

After getting up to wash and eat something, Wang Ping'an went to Ganlu Hall. He missed the morning time, but it doesn't matter, Li Zhi won't blame himself.But when he arrived at the Ganlu Hall, he found that he was not late, because the emperor hadn't gotten up yet, and he didn't go to court at all.

But the ministers were all waiting in the hall, and there was a lot of discussion, all talking about the death of Concubine Xiao Shu.There are no secrets in the palace, and it spread throughout the palace in just one night, even the ministers who came to the early court knew about it.

Seeing Wang Ping'an coming, Changsun Wuji hurriedly called him to the front and asked, "Wubing, do you know about Mrs. Xiao?"

Wang Pingan sighed, and said, "My lord uncle, of course my nephew knew about it, and he was so unlucky that he was singled out to take charge of the investigation of this case!"

Changsun Wuji was taken aback, and said, "That's really unlucky!"

Chu Suiliang came over and wondered, "When did this happen? Why haven't you heard of it?"

Wang Pingan said with a bitter face: "What happened in the middle of the night yesterday, the emperor sent someone to my house and told me to take charge of the case, but I was so worried that I didn't fall asleep anymore, and I got up late today."

Changsun Wuji was silent for a while, pulled Wang Pingan aside, and said in a low voice: "It's okay, my uncle told you that the most difficult cases are in the palace. The so-called upright officials are hard to solve housework. It's like this in ordinary people's homes, let alone in the palace. Yes. This case is actually not difficult to solve. If you really want to solve it, you can solve it today. It is nothing more than concubines in the harem competing for favor. This kind of thing has happened in all dynasties, and it is not uncommon."

If you don't know the essence, but only look at the surface of the matter, it is true that the concubine's competition for favor is purely a trivial matter for Zhangsun Wuji, so what is the death of Concubine Xiao Shu?Nothing.

Everyone's status is different, and the way of looking at the problem is different. Starting from this point, Changsun Wuji gave Wang Pingan an idea.He said: "Cases in the palace cannot be uncovered, they must be suppressed. The so-called dirty things on the kang can be covered by a blanket. You find a small person and ask him to help you solve the case, and then... you know it!"

Wang Pingan laughed twice, the hero sees the same thing!
