Chapter 221 If you want to make a fuss, make a big fuss ([-])
"If Mr. He is in a difficult situation, Ben Baylor will not force it, so just pretend that Ben Baylor didn't agree."

Although it is very necessary to get the words out of He Chong's mouth, Hong Qing is unwilling to show too much eagerness. Seeing He Chong looking over with a face full of surprise, she just smiled lightly and waved her hand very kindly, Said something indifferently.

"Ah, no, no, the little lord has any orders and please speak up, but those who are inferior to their official functions will never dare to resign!"

Over the years, what Hong Qing has done has been invincible, and countless people have fallen from the horse. He has already become a figure like a malevolent star in today's court. Poor He Chong is no more than a mere ninth-rank sesame official. When Hong Qing said that she was not helpful, hearing what Hong Qing said, she couldn't help being a little panicked, and her bowed body suddenly became a little shorter, expressing her attitude in a hurry.

"If that's the case, then it's time to work, come here, show Master He a seat!"

Although He Chong had expressed his opinion, Hong Qing did not rush to say what he wanted to do, but waved his hand politely to give He Chong a seat.

"twitter!"

As soon as Hong Qing finished speaking, the guards of the palace with their own guards respectfully agreed, moved a round stool and placed it on the left side of the study, and then they all exited the study, leaving only He Chong and Hong Qing alone. Solo pair.

"Thank you, my lord, for giving me your seat!"

He Chong was courageous after all, and since he had promised to help Hong Qing, he let go of the previous restraint, and after thanking him humbly, without any pretense, he lifted the hem of his robe and sat upright. He got down, leaned slightly, and quietly waited for Hong Qing's question.

"Master He is at the Qiu Jue office, so he is quite familiar with the matter of Qiu Jue?"

Seeing that He Chong was able to recover from the panic so quickly, Hong Qing gave him a high look in her heart, but she didn't show it, but asked in a flat voice.

"Returning to the young prince, the subordinate officials are not trusted by Lu Langzhong in the office, and most of the affairs in the office are not very involved, and they only do small documents, and I dare not say they are familiar with them."

Hearing that Hong Qing asked about the ministry affairs, He Chong's face turned red immediately, and he replied bitterly.

"Well, Er, have you ever heard of the slaughter of white geese?"

Hong Qing had known before that He Chong was not doing well in the ministry, and seeing him admitting it now, she would not be surprised, and did not continue to ask the reason, but nodded calmly, pointing it out straightforwardly. topic.

"what……"

Although Hong Qing's words were soft, they sounded like thunder in He Chong's ears, but seeing his pupils shrank suddenly, his face turned pale in an instant.

"In this way, Mr. He should have some understanding of this. Could you tell Ben Belle how many white geese there are in the autumn competition in the future, and who are they?"

Hong Qing didn't give He Chong any chance to catch his breath, and didn't care how shocked he was, so he nodded and continued to ask questions on his own.

"This……"

Of course there are a lot of things that the Ministry of Justice slaughters white geese, but they are all done in private. Although there are rumors in the market, no one has ever seen this matter mentioned in the official circle. Asking the question, He Chong's heart suddenly became a mess. It was not for other reasons, but because he himself did not take less money, even though he himself had never done such dirty activities, but at Qiu Jue, he wanted to If you don't want to be completely squeezed out of the officialdom, you have to accept money.

"Is Master He very difficult?"

Now that the point has been made, Hong Qing can't make He Chong back down, probably because the matter has a lot to do with it, if He Chong speaks indiscriminately and perfunctorily, it's hard to say, it should be silenced, Hong Qing will not be soft-handed.

"Phew..., the little prince is clear, the officials only know about some trivial things about this matter, and the concealment behind it is beyond the knowledge of the lower officials. I ask the little prince to forgive me for this one."

After He Chong's face changed from white to red for a long time, he finally made up his mind, sighed loudly, bowed his lower body, and replied cautiously.

"It's okay, Mr. He can say as much as he knows, and Ben Baylor can make his own judgment."

Hearing that He Chong agreed to cooperate, Hong Qing was also secretly relieved, but she didn't show it.

"So that the little prince can know that although the subordinate officials have never been in charge of affairs in the office, they still have a few acquaintances, and they have heard a little about the slaughter of white geese. Among the 12 people who will be judged in the autumn of the next day, there are three white geese." The replacements were Deng Xiang, the second son of Deng Mingda, the shopkeeper of "Dengji Silk and Satin Shop" in Nancheng, who committed homicide, Chen Shutong, a son of the Chen family in Tongzhou, and Sun Miao, the son of Sun Qishi, the shopkeeper of "Sunji Timber Shop". The name of the goose is beyond the knowledge of the lower officials."

Now that he has decided to join Hongqing, He Chong has no reservations, and reports all the inside information he knows one by one.

Hey, it's really black to the extreme, there are three white geese among the 12 people, the old eighth is really daring to do it!

The reason why Hongqing knew about the killing of the white goose by the Ministry of Justice was entirely from the novels of her previous life. She was only half-believed in her heart, and she just asked He Chong to find out about it in the hope of just in case. If there is no loophole here , Hong Qing still had to find another way, and now that he had He Chong's promise, the big rock hanging in Hong Qing's heart finally fell to the ground, but she didn't show much excitement, she just said indifferently. Nodding his head, he did not comment on He Chong's words.

"The lower official was in the autumn trial. In order to avoid other people's suspicion, he also took the share money a few times. He really didn't dare to lie to the young prince. The lower official had his own faults, so he could deal with it as he wanted. The lower official dared not defend himself."

Seeing that Hong Qing didn't speak, He Chong's heart went blank for no reason, his face flushed, his head bowed, and he confessed his crime.

"It's all right, Mr. He doesn't need to worry about some trivial matters. Well, please keep your mouth shut about what we talked about today. After the incident, Ben Baylor will definitely report back."

Having understood everything that should be understood, Hong Qing naturally did not intend to spend more time talking, so she gave a command with the intention of chasing away the guest.

"The lower official is willing to go through fire and water for the little prince, and he will die!"

Although He Chong has not been very proud of being in the officialdom these years, he is not a fool after all. At this time, how could he miss the only chance to hold Hong Qing's thigh tightly, and fell to the ground with a grunt, knocking heavily A few ringing of the head, expressing loyalty with trepidation.

"Well, I'm afraid it's not good for you to have such a heart. Let's do something with Mingtao and the others first. If there is a destiny in the future, Ben Baylor will take you under the door."

Seeing that He Chong is still astute, Hong Qing is quite satisfied. However, she doesn't plan to take him under the door right away, but plans to investigate for a while. If it is really useful, Hong Qing will be generous. Cultivate it.

"Yes, I would like to obey the order of the young prince!"

Hong Qing is now the most popular figure in the third generation of the Tian family, He Chong couldn't be dissatisfied to get his personal consent, and hurriedly kowtowed gratefully.

"That's good, let's go, don't let people notice your whereabouts."

Hong Qing didn't say any more, after giving a simple order, she served tea to see off the guests.

"Meet the little prince!"

Not long after He Chong left, Cao Yanshan and Chen Size walked in from the study together, facing Hong Qing who was sitting on the head, they all saluted.

"Excuse me, Mingtao and Zisong, from now on, keep an eye on the criminal department for Ben Belle, and report immediately if there is any news. In addition, in the morning of the next day, prepare more people at Caishikou, in case there is any change, and go to work Forget it, Ben Baylor will go back home first."

Although Hong Qing had some calculations in his heart, the matter was so important that he didn't dare to make a decision lightly. After all, he had to convince the third master before he could make a decision. Now that the matter was over, Hong Qing didn't want to linger any longer. After confessing a few words, he got up immediately, led Li Minxing and others to hurried back towards his palace...

In late autumn, it gets dark early, and it’s only four quarters before the sun has set, leaving only a smear of afterglow, rendering the clouds in the sky as red as blood, soaking in the farm outside the city for a whole day The third master finally returned to his house excitedly. Although his feet were muddy and his official robes were spotted, the third master's spirit was excellent, not for anything else, but because of the plan. The overseas grain planting base is basically ready, and it will be ready to sow and cultivate after the spring. Thinking of being able to take such a great achievement in his own hands, the third master feels quite a sense of accomplishment. He was so excited that he didn't even care about dinner, so he led Li Minquan who had gone to the farm with him, and went straight to the study in the inner courtyard, intending to study the promotion of overseas grain varieties one more time to make sure nothing would go wrong.

"The child kowtows to see the father!"

Just now, the third master and Li Minquan turned out from the screen while discussing, and immediately saw that Hong Qing and Old Master Chen were already sitting inside, and couldn't help being slightly taken aback. Before he could ask a question, he saw Hong Qing Having already got up, he took a few steps to get closer, and made a respectful salute.

"No, Qing'er, this is..."

Seeing that Hong Qing and Old Master Chen were both there, it was clear that there was something important to discuss, and the third master was inevitably a little confused. After all, less than a month had passed since the turmoil in the household department, and the various forces would The children are all licking their wounds, so there shouldn't be much trouble.

"Father, around noon today, news came from Heda, saying that the son of Henan governor Rong Zhu and some friends had a conflict with Prince Yu's second son Baoshou last night in the 'Wanhua Tower'. All the people in the nine-door admiral's yamen were locked in the big prison. The boy didn't dare to be negligent, so he went to invite Uncle Sixteen to come forward to negotiate, but unexpectedly, that guy, Tuoheqi, took Mu Ning and others to the prison in front of Uncle Sixteen. They were all handed over to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the matter is serious, and the child dare not execute it, so the father and king will make a clear decision."

The third master asked, and Hong Qing would not hide anything, so she explained the reasons in detail, but ignored the incident at the other end of Xiaochuanzi Hutong.

"What? There is such a thing? Tuo Heqi, how dare he be so rude!"

Hearing what Hong Qing said, the third master's face immediately turned a little uncomfortable, but he just stared at Tuo Heqi's presumptuousness, but he didn't think about the strangeness behind it.

I'm dizzy, if you really just ask Heqi to be presumptuous and rude on your own, why do you need to come forward all the time, we can play that guy to death by ourselves!

Hearing what the third master said, Hong Qing's head immediately dilated a few times. She really couldn't laugh or cry, but it was really hard to point out the fault of the third master for a while. In desperation, she could only ask for help. His gaze fell on Old Master Chen.
