Chapter 230 Combined Vertical and Horizontal ([-])

"Fourth Master, this step of yours is too dangerous. If there is a slight mistake, the consequences will be disastrous."

The fourth master is a cautious person, after returning to the household department for a walk, he hurried into the palace again, expecting the old man to give the order to supervise the punishment department, he led a group of guards to the punishment department in a hurry, relying on The imperial decree sealed all the important departments of the Ministry of Punishment, and locked all the officials involved in the case in jail, and sent guards in his house to watch them strictly. , but his good mood didn't last long, just as he took his seat in the study, he was smashed to pieces by Dai Duo's first sentence.

"Ah."

Regarding the issue of risk, it's not that Si Ye hasn't thought about it, it's just that in his mind, this kind of risk is still controllable, even if it is a little bigger, he has no choice but to pay off the debt for nothing else. The somersault is really too big, if he doesn't take risks, he thinks that he is powerless to compete with the third master, besides, the Caishikou case happened, it is obvious that the third master wants to attack the eighth master, and his fourth master took advantage of it With all his strength, he really wasn't afraid of not being able to accomplish anything. It was precisely because of this thought that Fourth Master decided to take such a risk. However, hearing what Dai Duo said at this moment, he obviously didn't understand himself. After painstaking efforts, Fourth Master couldn't help but feel a little displeased, but he didn't want to explode on the spot, so he just let out a noncommittal voice.

"Fourth Master, do you think that Third Master will definitely deal with Eighth Master with all his strength this time? If you think so, you will lose nothing!"

Although Dai Duo is not the top wise man in the world, he is not comparable to ordinary people. In addition, he has followed the fourth master for a long time, and he is very clear about the thoughts and personality of the fourth master. Even if the fourth master did not say it, Dai Duo can guess What was fourth master thinking in his heart, he smiled wryly and shook his head, giving an extremely pessimistic judgment.

"how do I say this?"

After being distracted by Dai Duo, Fourth Master could no longer maintain his calm, frowned, and asked with a hint of displeasure.

"Fourth master, although the slave is not sure what the third master is doing at this time, but there is one thing that is certain, that is, the third master's method is definitely not to destroy the eighth master. The reason is very simple. Third master Grandpa is very popular now, without making mistakes, it is difficult for a group of elder brothers to surpass him, so there is no need to go out of his way to punish Baye, it would be better if he had the intention to conspire to take down the prince Directly, moreover, the third master is not an idiot, so how can he not know the truth of doing too much wrong? This is not the case, and the third master does not need to play overseas grain crops in order to get out of the household department. Now that he is doing this, he must It is necessary for Eighth Master to make a compromise. Fourth Master, if you intervene in it, I am afraid that it will be hard to please both sides. The trial of this case is not easy. If one is not careful, it is inevitable that the two parties will cooperate It's dangerous to plot against!"

The matter was urgent, and Dai Duo couldn't take into account the face problem of the fourth master, so he hurriedly explained the strangeness in detail, until the fourth master was sweating profusely on his back.

"This..., so, the plan will be settled?"

Although the fourth master is careful, but limited by his weak intelligence and calculation ability, he really never calculated that the third master might compromise with the eighth master, so he couldn't help but panic. Fourth master jumped into the fire pit by himself this time, how could he dare to be reserved at all, and with an ugly expression on his face, he asked for countermeasures.

"Since the fourth master has accepted the order, this case must be accounted for. Otherwise, the reputation of the fourth master will be greatly damaged. Now, speaking of it, there are only two ways to go. One is to unite with the third master and do our best. Suppress the Ministry of Punishments; the second is to join hands with Ba Ye and let Ba Ye give a reasonable explanation, other than that, there is no other way to think of!"

Dai Duo smiled bitterly, and gave two unreliable choices. The reason is very simple. No matter what the third master wants to get from the eighth master, he doesn't need to have too much to do with the fourth master. If the eighth master gets on the line with the third master, there is no need to join hands with the fourth master. Besides, the third master is holding the handle of the eighth master now - if the third master hadn't caught the Zai Bai of the Ministry of punishment in advance If the goose's proof is true, how would he have the guts to mobilize it on the execution ground? What Eighth Master needs most is to reach a consensus with Third Master, not to flirt with Fourth Master, the ostensible presiding judge.

"Hmm... well, let's go to the third brother's house for a while."

Fourth Master is a shrewd man after all. Although Dai Duo did not elaborate on the difficulties of the two roads, Fourth Master understood it. After thinking for a while, he frowned, let out a long breath, and did not say anything again. Duo hesitated, stood up, left a sentence to confess, and hurried towards the door of the house...

"My lord, fourth master is asking to see you outside the gate of the mansion."

At the end of Youshi, the sky was completely dark, but the third master and the others had no appetite at all, they were still discussing matters in the study room of the inner courtyard, and when the discussion got to the point, they saw Gao Dacheng, the chief executive of the palace, hurriedly turned around from behind the screen. After coming out, he quickly rushed to the third master, bowed, and hurriedly said a word to report.

"Oh?"

As soon as the fourth master came, a bright light flashed in the third master's eyes immediately, but he didn't give a reply whether he saw it or not. Instead, he let out a soft sigh and cast his gaze on Hong Qing.

"Father Wang Mingjian, Fourth Uncle came here out of intentions. He just wants to join hands with us in handling the case. There is nothing wrong with dealing with it."

Hong Qing had long expected that the fourth master would come, and seeing the third master's inquiring gaze, she couldn't help but smile, leaned forward, and gave the answer confidently.

"It's fine for the little prince to go see him, but he said that the prince occasionally feels cold, so it's not suitable to see guests."

As soon as Hong Qing finished speaking, before the third master could express anything, Old Master Chen had already interjected.

"It's so good, Qing'er, let's go."

Although Old Master Chen didn't clarify the truth, but the third master understood it, he was just asking for a room for maneuver, besides, since Hongqing is in the name of deputy judge, it would be appropriate for him to deal with the fourth master. At this point, the third master no longer hesitated, waved his hand, and agreed to Old Master Chen's proposal.

"Yes, baby, let's go!"

Since the third master had confessed, Hong Qing had no reason not to do so, after a respectful reply, accompanied by Gao Dacheng, she rushed to the gate of the courtyard.

"My nephew met my fourth uncle!"

Surrounded by a group of servants, Hong Qing just walked out of the mansion, and saw the fourth master standing proudly in front of the screen wall, his extremely serious face was clouded by the nearby lanterns, and his brows were full of waving Undoubtedly, there is no doubt that the fourth master has a new judgment on the current situation, and the reason for it is obvious. Hong Qing secretly laughed in her heart, but her feet were not slow at all. After taking a few strides down the steps, he bowed all the way to Fourth Master, saluted and greeted him respectfully.

"Oh, it's Qing'er, no, no, has the third brother ever rested?"

Seeing that the person who was about to come out was Hong Qing, Fourth Master's face turned dark involuntarily, and a bad feeling suddenly surged in his heart uncontrollably, it's just that everyone came, but it wasn't good Just turning around and leaving like this, he could only suppress the unhappiness in his heart, and asked with a fluke mentality.

"Back to the fourth uncle, I, Ama, felt a cold earlier and fell asleep. If the fourth uncle has something to say, my nephew will take care of it."

Hong Qing had already guessed the reason for Si Ye's visit, but now she heard him ask the question like this, she became a bit more certain. Although she secretly burst into laughter at Si Ye's behavior of asking for trouble, she did not bring it to the public. Instead, he apologized sincerely.

"Well, that's the way it is. It's okay, since Qing'er is the deputy judge, as an uncle, she has to discuss it with Er Haosheng."

Hearing such a lame excuse from Hong Qing, Fourth Master's already dark complexion suddenly darkened a little bit, and he was so angry that he wished he could just walk away, but he couldn't do it. After doing this, probably because Hong Qing's cooperation is really inseparable from the trial of the case, even if the fourth master and the eighth master have achieved a tacit understanding, they still dare not ignore Hong Qing, who has always played cards out of common sense. No matter how angry he was, when it was time to discuss with Hong Qing, fourth master didn't dare to lose his temper indiscriminately, so he could only let out a foul breath secretly, and opened his mouth in a deep thought.

"What Uncle Fourth said, please come inside!"

There's no need to talk about it, Hong Qing knows what fourth master is going to say, but anyway, fourth master's face is still to be given, no matter what, they are always customers when they come to the door, Hong Qing will naturally not do things that spoil the scenery, so He just turned sideways respectfully, made a "please" gesture, and very politely let the fourth master into the gate of the house.

"Well, please!"

The fourth master nodded reservedly, without saying anything more, he lifted his foot and stepped up the steps, walked in unhurriedly, and arrived at the front hall without saying a word. The servants of the palace rushed to serve the freshly brewed fragrant tea, and then they all retreated, leaving fourth master and Hong Qing alone in the hall.

"Qing'er has made great contributions to the imperial court in exposing the dark activities of the Criminal Ministry. However, the case is complicated and difficult to understand, but it still cannot be ignored. I wonder if Qing'er has any concerns about this?"

Si Ye has always liked talkative people, but Hong Qing doesn't want to rush to talk about things now, so the atmosphere in the front hall can't help but become a bit dull, and the two sides sit upright as if impatiently After a long time, at the end, the fourth master, who was still worried, couldn't hold his breath at first, but seeing the corner of his mouth twitch, he forcefully squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying. He first praised Hong Qing, and then immediately Some of them couldn't wait to get to the topic.

Hey, are you getting impatient?Alright, let's play with you first.

Seeing Fourth Master being so impatient, Hong Qing couldn't help muttering in her heart, her eyes rolled slightly, she already had an idea, so she put on a humble look, and replied sincerely "Fourth Uncle taught me the lesson. My nephew is young and reckless, so I don't dare to care about it. Let Fourth Uncle decide everything."

Hong Qing's words seemed courteous, but in fact they were prevarication. The fourth master was choked up and his face turned livid. For a moment, he really didn't know how to go on. The dullness of suffocation.
