Chapter 182 Books
Hua Rujin tried her best to recall some small fragments of last night, but she couldn't tell which ones happened in reality and which ones were her own dreams. She vaguely felt that Ye Chengwei had indeed been there.

She asked Xiaolian and Xiaowei again: "Master Ye really came here?"

Thinking of the scene where the young lady was beating and begging for wine last night, Xiao Lian and Xiao Wei couldn't help but gritted their teeth and nodded emphatically.

Seeing that the two little girls were honest and refused to elaborate, Hua Rujin didn't ask any more questions.

Anyway, his wine taste is good, so he won't do anything bad to him.

After washing up, he changed into clean clothes and hurriedly ate some porridge cooked by Xiao Lian, thinking that he was away from the government office for half a day yesterday, so he rushed to the inspector's office early.

Seeing Ye Chengwei sitting in the hall, looking thoughtful, she smiled and waved to him: "Good morning, my lord."

"You and us"

Ye Chengwei recalled the kiss scene with her last night, and wanted to remind her, but Hua Rujin swaggered past him like a normal person.

"Is this girl trying to deny it?"

Ye Chengwei showed a confused face and rolled her eyes with contempt as she left.

"Or did she forget what she did?"

Thinking of this, Ye Chengwei despised him even more.

I confessed my heart to her solemnly, but she forgot all about it.

Cough, the wine is really bad.

Hua Rujin sat at her desk, and secretly squinted at Ye Chengwei. Seeing him with his head buried tightly, he seemed unhappy. Thinking of the quarrel with him yesterday, he might still be blocking him from continuing to investigate Zhuo. Angry about things at home.

But I didn't mean to protect Luo Chuhuai, so why bother to explain too much to him, which would arouse his suspicion even more.

Anyway, he just regards himself as a subordinate and colleague, and he can't report to him in detail.

Throughout the morning, the two of them were busy with their own business. Until noon, Ye Chengwei was summoned by the chief envoy to the chief envoy's office. After Hua Rujin finished processing the official documents in his hand, he recalled the meeting with King Ning in the restaurant yesterday. After a conversation, I always felt that something was wrong, so I thought about explaining it to him seriously.

But as soon as he left the government office, he ran into Luo Chuhuai's sedan chair.

Seeing this person again, Hua Rujin was filled with anger.

"Rujin, can you accompany me to the teahouse opposite to have a chat?"

Luo Chuhuai asked politely.

Hua Rujin also wanted to talk to him about many things, so she followed him silently to the opposite teahouse.

When they arrived at the secluded place of the teahouse, Luo Chuhuai ordered a pot of tea and some snacks, and the two sat down. Seeing that she looked a bit haggard, Luo Chuhuai couldn't help but asked with concern: "But you didn't rest well last night?"

"I'm well rested."

Hua Rujin raised her eyes and glanced at him coldly: "What is the matter that the governor is looking for me today?"

"In a few days it will be the New Year's Eve. You are lonely in the Provincial Mansion, and it may be too late to rush back to Jiangling City. This New Year's Eve should be celebrated at Weifu's Mansion."

Luo Chuhuai smiled faintly: "It happens to buy more new year's goods for my father. If you like anything, you can tell my father."

"I won't bother the governor."

Hua Rujin didn't bother to chat with him about these trivial matters anymore, and asked straightforwardly: "Why did the governor frame Ye Gongzi?"

"Frame Ye Chengwei?"

Luo Chuhuai pondered for a moment, then immediately realized what she had mentioned, and replied with a smile: "You are talking about Hua Minze, right? You have really wronged my father about this matter. Could it be that my father didn't hand over Hua Minze? Cheng Wei won't investigate this matter thoroughly? I'm just helping him by the way."

After a pause, his smile became more wanton: "Ye Chengwei is a rare talent, how can I be against him, besides, how can a father not see your thoughts, even if it is for you, I will not He will frame him, and when he brings down King Yun, he will gain the respect of King Fu, and in this way, his official career will only skyrocket."

"Won the King of Fortune's respect?"

Hua Rujin kept sneering: "The governor really has a good plan. Do you want him to work hand in hand with you, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country?"

"Collaborate with the enemy and betray the country?"

Luo Chuhuai's expression was furious, and he reprimanded dissatisfiedly: "How dare you talk to Weifu like this, who is a dignified governor of the five armies, the governor of the governor's mansion of the five armies, who is deeply favored by the emperor and leads the soldiers and horses of the whole country, how can he do such infidelity and injustice? , who did you listen to instigation?"

"Is it really instigated by others?"

Hua Rujin stared at him sharply: "The Zhuo family is just an imperial merchant, if there is no one to support them, how dare they open the iron ore without permission, and where does the ore go?"

"How can you ask about these things?"

Luo Chuhuai was even more dissatisfied with her doubts: "You, a girl, are getting more and more outrageous, and you have been involved in these things all day long, don't you want your head?"

Realizing that he shouldn't be so strict with his daughter, he took a sip of tea slowly, his voice gradually softened, and he persuaded him earnestly: "Rujin, listen to my father's advice, the court affairs are not your business, You have also achieved the desired result in this case of the Zhuo family, so stop now, if you and that Ye Chengwei insist on going your own way and offend King Fu, you will not be able to protect you as a father."

"Could it be that in the eyes of the great governor, the safety of one person is not as important as the country and the country?"

Listening to him talking about King Fu, Hua Rujin felt chilling.

It's really King Fu's loyal dog, but it's a pity for those soldiers who are away.

How disappointed they would be to learn that the master they were desperately serving was such a virtuous man.

Luo Chuhuai originally thought that this girl was just trying to earn some money by standing in for others, but now she gradually realizes that it is not that simple.

I don't know where she got the courage to provoke anyone.

After straightening out his thoughts, he reprimanded him very seriously: "You are just a yellow-haired girl, how can you know anything about the country and society? My father has already spoken very thoroughly today, no matter whether you are listening to someone's instigation or guessing randomly, Zhuo You are not allowed to intervene in family affairs."

Thinking that his daughter's stubbornness might be instigated by Lu Ming, he finally reminded:

"You like Ye Chengwei, I have no objection, but don't forget, his father is the new chief assistant, and even King Yun's henchman. You keep saying that you are collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country for your father. Do you want to help that old man?" Are you here to plot against your father? Don't even think about it, King Fu is His Majesty's son, how could he do such a thing?"

After all, he left angrily.

Hua Rujin pondered Luo Chuhuai's words carefully, judging from his tone, I'm afraid he didn't know the details about King Fu and Zhuo's family.

When Ye Chengwei came out of the government envoy's office, a small official came up mysteriously, handed a package booklet to him, looked around carefully, and whispered: "My lord, someone suddenly showed up today. Here comes this account book, which records every whereabouts of the iron ore privately mined by the Zhuo family over the years, and the lower officials dare not specialize in it, so I ask your lord to make a decision."

Ye Chengwei sat back in the carriage, opened the account book and took a closer look, and saw that not only every transaction was recorded on it, but also the list of officials involved in the smuggling of ore was clearly recorded.

He was overjoyed and asked quickly, "Who submitted the account books?"

The little official shook his head blankly: "I didn't catch that person."

Ye Chengwei nodded hesitantly: "It's okay, this booklet is enough."

Then I began to figure out how to use this booklet.
