Chapter 528

Bai Wei twisted Mrs. Su to go out first. Mrs. Su looked at Cheng Xue again before leaving quickly.

The servants came in to collect the broken porcelain pieces on the ground. Cheng Xue was not in the mood to stay at the villa anymore and ordered a car to be prepared to go back to the city.

At the same time, in the Household Department, Li Hui was drinking tea comfortably and reviewing the accounts from the Rites Department.

He was the only one in the government office, and after going to court, he was like a loach, slipping away early with Yan Mu's help. Cui Shangshu and Lin Chensong were not so lucky. They were caught by various ministries, and they probably would not escape so quickly.

"Sir, the accounting issues of the Ministry of Rites have been sorted out a long time ago. But this thing left over from the previous dynasty..."

"As long as there is no trace of the money, the scapegoat still has a problem and must be brought out for separate calculations."

"But the whole family of the person who took the blame and committed suicide is gone. If we bring it out, there will be no evidence." Zheng Shuo had told the truth.

"Who?"

"Ma Feng."

"What did you do originally? Did you hold a high position in the former Ministry of Rites?"

"This official doesn't know. He only came to the Ministry of Household Affairs in the 17th year of Yongle." Zheng Shuo shook his head and answered.

Xu Enyang, a native of the capital who was dawdling on the side, came forward and said with a smile:

"If you ask Ma Feng, I am the only one who knows about the entire household department except Mr. Cui."

"What, you met again?"

"That's not true, my grandfather..."

As soon as Li Hui heard the familiar opening remarks, he quickly interrupted:
"Okay, I know you have a great grandpa, hurry up."

"Okay, I'm just waiting for your words." After Xu Enyang finished speaking, Nuanluo moved forward and said, "Sir, what I told you is all that I said. My father won't let me say anything. We have a good relationship. , please don’t betray me then.”

"If you keep nagging, I might have to sell you. What's wrong with you?"

Xu Enyang was completely reassured by his words, smiled and whispered:

"This Ma Feng was a clerk in the Ministry of Rites of the previous dynasty, which is the same as my official position. But he has real power and I am just messing around, so the meaning is different. This money was originally proposed by Mr. Cheng Xiaokun to build a school, but the previous dynasty Hunjun nominally agreed , but in fact, he secretly misappropriated money to build an altar to help him ascend to immortality.

After the incident was exposed, Ma Feng was pushed out to top the cylinder. Mr. Cheng has been proud all his life and has a clear sense of right and wrong. He doesn't want to let this matter go by in silence, let alone Ma Feng. But you know, my lord, that your arms can't break your thighs, let alone the fact that a foolish king is in power. The Ministry of Punishment hastily concluded the case, and all the Ma family members were sentenced to be beheaded. Mr. Cheng vomited blood in court and has been unable to recover from his illness.

My grandfather once visited his old man's home, and when he came back, he resigned and returned to his hometown. My father was just a small editor at the time, so he got the opportunity after the establishment of the new dynasty, and then he went to the Ministry of Punishment and became the minister. I don’t have that big ambition, anyway, I just have something to do. "

Xu Enyang finished speaking simply, Li Hui always felt that Mr. Xu would not go to see Mr. Cheng in vain. More importantly, Mr. Xu is now the Minister of Justice. He does not think this is a coincidence.

"There are two ways for you. One, you accompany me to find your father. Two, I go to your father and sell you."

"...Huh?" Xu Enyang was confused, looking at him with a puzzled face, his mind went blank.

He knew that he was not motivated, but he considered himself a smart person, so he had been in the Ministry of Revenue for many years, and he felt most secure in this idle position. The reason why today is so eventful is nothing more than a disguised way of telling Li Hui that although he has no strength, he can be helpful in terms of gossip and connections, so don't touch him.

The idea was perfect, but I didn't expect that the other party was so determined to sell him.

If you go along, you will inevitably get a beating when you get home. If you don't follow, you will still get beaten when you go home.

It's embarrassing to say that, even though he is now the father of two sons and a daughter, if his father is angry, he will still get beaten.

What a real dilemma! "It's not right for you to do this, sir. I told you because I trust you. If you sell me like this, you will lose me."

"No, I will reuse you."

"Stop making trouble." Xu Enyang rolled his eyes speechlessly.

Even when he started pretending to be sick and making trouble, he knew that he would not be in the good graces of the minister. If you don't have expectations, you won't be disappointed, but now this person wants his life, this... this...

Don't talk about martial arts!

Li Hui ignored him, stood up, took the account book, and said calmly:
"I'll wait for you outside. If you don't come out after a cup of tea, don't tell me I'm going to the Ministry of Justice for a walk."

"No, no, no, I'll go, can't I go? I really owed you my last life!"

Seeing his face full of bitterness and hatred, Li Hui smiled and patted his shoulder, his eyebrows slightly raised.

"Then you have to pay off the debt properly, otherwise I will be indebted to you in my previous life!"

what?
Xu Enyang was completely dumbfounded.

I thought he was a shameless brother, but I didn’t expect that Mr. Li was even more shameless than him. It’s really awesome!
The two of them arrived at the Criminal Department by car. Xu Enyang learned from Chang Sui who was beside his father that Gu Wei was inside, so he took Li Hui to the room where his father was taking a lunch break. Each department has a room for officials of the third rank and above to prevent them from having no place to rest while working on cases at night.

Li Hui knew Gu Wei, and his wife was Mrs. Gu, the daughter of the Su family. He didn't think it was a coincidence that this person came to Xu Qing at this time. He glanced sideways at Dexi, who immediately left the room.

Bored of waiting, Xu Enyang brought the white jade chess pieces and invited:

"Sir, kill two sets?"

Li Hui nodded, took the chessboard and placed it on the table, and the two of them played chess in peace in the room.

It is said that chess quality is like character. Although he knew that Xu Enyang was a second-generation ancestor, he discovered through his chess play that this second-generation ancestor was not simple. He seems to be hot-tempered and heartless, but he is actually very intelligent and smart.

If his performance hadn't been too intuitive just now, Li Hui would have thought that he deliberately brought him here today.

"How old is your eldest son?"

"I'm fifteen. My father has always been in charge. He will go to the martial arts exam this year. I heard that your eldest son will also participate. Maybe the two of them will be colleagues in the future."

"Is your family a military commander?"

"Well, my grandfather once fought alongside the emperor's father." Xu Enyang did not hide it. "But later my grandfather was injured, so he returned from the frontier. He took a job as a sinecure in the Ministry of War to provide for his retirement, but later he had no money to support him."

"You are so filial, complaining about your grandfather like this."

"I'm a dead pig now and I'm not afraid of being scalded by boiling water. I can't escape this beating. Of course I can be as happy as I want."

Seeing that he was resigned to his fate, Li Hui rarely spoke kindly to comfort him:
"Don't worry, I won't let you get beaten."

"Don't beg for mercy. My father is a shameless person. The more he begs for mercy, the harder he will beat me. It's better to just let nature take its course. I can still have my life to serve you."

After finishing speaking, the door of the room opened, and Xu Qingzhong spoke with full enthusiasm——

"Wait outside, I have something to say with Mr. Li."

"Okay~" Xu Enyang put down the chess pieces in his hand and walked away dejectedly...
