Xuanmen Xiaoguo Shi is divination again

Chapter 697 The Inner Ghost
Yu Deyong raised his head in response, and saw Liao Zhen coming in a hurry with his wide sleeves tossed, a sneer could not help but twitched on the corner of his lips.

In fact, he saw Liao Zhen coming with Anpinghou early in the morning, and he was curious about whether this guy could hold his breath this time.

look now...

The old eunuch hugged Fuchen and sneered silently. It seemed that he really overestimated this Liao Xiangguo.

"So the Prime Minister is here too." Yu Deyong arched his body and lowered his eyebrows, his half-drooped eyelashes just concealed the contempt leaking out of his pupils, leaving only the proper respect on his face, and his voice was relaxed. Xu Youping, "But I don't know, Master Xiang, you suddenly called out to stop the old slave, why?"

"Hey~ Eunuch's words are out of the ordinary." Liao Zhen laughed and waved his sleeves and said haha, the smile on the side of his face was slightly stiff, "I have nothing to do, so I can't come over to say hello to you, Eunuch ?"

He originally didn't want to show his face in front of Yu Deyong this time, but Zhu Sheng, that incompetent old boy, is really useless. He saw his bewildered and stupid look from a long distance, and couldn't hold it back for a while——that's why he Stepped forward on impulse.

"Speaking of which, Eunuch Yu, it seems that we haven't seen each other for a long time? How are you doing, Eunuch?" Liao Zhen smirked, and from the corner of his eye, he looked at the group that had already dispersed outside Anpinghou's mansion. The soldiers of the Imperial Army looked slightly dark.

"Master Xiang was joking, the old servant is by His Majesty's side every day, except for Xiu Mu, you have to go to court every day—" Yu Deyong rolled his eyes and smiled slightly, "We only met once this morning, so we can't call it that." It says 'Long time no see'?"

"Hey, that's different. The meeting at the top is the meeting at the top, and the meeting in private is the meeting in private—" Liao Zhen waved his hand, "Eunuch Yu, you and I haven't met in private for a long time. Are you right?"

"Whether this is right or not, it doesn't really matter." The old eunuch's expression remained unchanged, only the corners of his lips that were slightly hooked before, now slightly retracted, "It's just that Xiangye, it's already time, you can There's no need to sell anything to the old slave."

"If you have anything to say, you might as well tell the old slave directly, the old slave is still rushing back to the palace to return to His Majesty."

"Haha, Eunuch Yu is still so neat and straightforward in his work." Liao Zhen smirked, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "So, the next official will speak directly."

——He has always hated Yu Deyong, an eunuch who is hard and soft, and this time, if his good brother-in-law didn't live up to him, he really didn't want to confront this half-male old man.

"I don't mean anything else, I'm just a little curious. What kind of oral order did you send, Mr. Lao, your majesty? Why did you use so many imperial guards?" Liao Zhen said, his head turned suddenly , the tone immediately became three points more roundabout and tactful.

"Naturally, the words of the lower official are not to question the decision of the Holy Majesty. The lower official just feels that this incident happened suddenly, and he is somewhat confused."

"After all, although my brother-in-law is a little reckless in his daily actions, he is not too hard-eared and is easily misled by others, but he has been under my nose recently, and he has never caused trouble around. It stands to reason..."

"Shouldn't you accidentally offend His Majesty at this time?"

"Master Xiang, you are worrying too much." Yu Deyong cupped his hands and smiled, his eyes were light, "Master Hou has indeed never offended His Majesty this time."

"It's just that someone submitted a report letter to His Highness the Sixth Highness, saying that Hou Yexu was related to the old case of the Bo's House and the big scientific examination fraud case three years ago."

"—It involves the imperial examination, which is related to the foundation of the country, and should not be taken lightly."

"Just to be on the safe side, His Majesty specially ordered this old slave to send the foot ban order to Lord Hou, and asked the crown prince to borrow a hundred and ten elite imperial guards to protect the integrity of the Hou's mansion and prevent 'interested people' from trying to harm Lord Hou."

"That's right, before the truth of this matter is found out," Yu Deyong smiled, his tone was so humble and respectful, and his words fell into the ears of Zhu Sheng and others so sharp and sarcastic, "Your Majesty Don't leave the house."

"Master Xiang, Master Hou, you two should have nothing else to ask this time, right?" Yu Deyong withdrew his hand and stroked the whisk in his palm, "If nothing else, this old slave is really going to leave this time."

"Wait a minute, Eunuch Yu." Liao Zhen frowned and raised his hand to stop the old eunuch who was about to leave, clenching his fists and giving a fake cough, "Cough, I have one last question."

"Eunuch Yu, that's it. It is said that since His Majesty has ordered the Marquis' feet to be restrained, I should leave the Marquis' mansion right away."

"It's just that before you came here, my father-in-law, the official had just arrived in the Hou's mansion, and the rare pot of fragrant tea in the warm pavilion of the Hou's mansion has not been drunk yet—" Liao Zhen said, dragging his tone meaningfully , "Eunuch, look..."

Yu Deyong understood immediately when he heard this.

"Since Xiangye came to the Hou's mansion before the old slave arrived, he was reluctant to waste that pot of good tea." The old eunuch raised his eyes with a half-smile, "Then please drink the tea first, and then drink it by yourself." Let's go."

"So, Your Majesty..." Liao Zhen turned his eyes.

"Don't worry, Mr. Xiang." Yu Deyong lowered his eyebrows, "This old slave knows how to measure, and I will never bother Your Majesty with such trivial matters."

"That's good. With Eunuch's words, I can feel completely at ease." Liao Zhen nodded, then raised his sleeves as a "please" gesture, with a smile on his face, "Come on, Eunuch Yu, come on down!" The officer will give you a ride."

After seeing off Yu Deyong, Zhu Sheng and the two trotted back to the Nuan Pavilion in a hurry. The tea on the table was not completely cold at that time, but the two of them had no intention of savoring the tea carefully.

"Why did Your Majesty suddenly bring up the matter of cheating in the previous scientific examination?" Liao Zhen took the case, with a fierce look on his brows, "Didn't Chao Ling be executed by His Majesty back then? Why is this matter gone!"

"Bah, you ask me, who should I ask?" Zhu Sheng spat low, walking around the room anxiously with his hands behind his back, "In theory, Chao Ling, Zhu Feng, and Liu Si are all dead, except you Apart from me, Lao Song and Shu Yunyuan, there should be no other living people who know about this."

"Furthermore, Yuan'er, Lao Song and the others are in harmony with us, so they won't betray us at this time!"

"Could it be that it's He Kangsheng?" Zhu Sheng frowned, "That kid worked under Chao Ling back then, maybe he could know something."

"No, it's not like." Liao Zhen shook his head, "At the beginning, we had already blamed Zhu Feng for all the faults. If he had substantive evidence, he would have been able to show them all back then, and there is no need to keep it until today. .”

"If he waited to present the evidence until now, wouldn't it prove that he was suspected of deliberately covering up at that time, and he was a criminal deceiving the emperor—He Kangsheng is not stupid, he can't do that."

"According to what you said, is this the ghost in my Marquis Mansion?" Zhu Sheng was suspicious, "Someone secretly tipped His Majesty?"

"No, it doesn't look like that either." Liao Zhen groaned for a while with his chin stuck, "Firstly, ordinary servants don't have the ability to know so many things; secondly, most of the servants in your Marquis' mansion are family-born—— "

"The lives of the family and the whole family are tied to the Hou's mansion. It is obviously not good for them to sue the Hou's mansion."

"So, Lao Zhu, instead of guessing about whether you are a ghost or not, you might as well think about it. When Chao Ling was still alive, did you leave anything that shouldn't be left—"
