Kowloon wins

Chapter 381

"The child has met the father, the master, and Mr. Li."

The matter is of great importance, Hong Qing dare not delay a little bit, as soon as the old fourteen left, Hong Qing has already pushed off the quilt, jumped up, let Qian'er and others help get dressed, and walked away Then he came to the study room in the inner courtyard. Seeing that the third master was pretending to be calm and gossiping with Li Minquan, but his eyes were always wandering, obviously absent-minded, Hong Qing was secretly amused, but he dared not Losing the etiquette, he hurriedly walked a few steps, rushed to the front, and paid respects in a respectful manner.

"Well, it's free."

Seeing that Hongqing had arrived, the third master's eyes lit up immediately, and the corners of his mouth twitched, as if he wanted to ask for more details, but he didn't want to be too eager, so he just stroked The long beard on the chest groaned pretending to be reserved.

"Thank you, Father Wang Longen."

Even though she was slandering the third master's impatience in her heart, Hong Qing didn't dare to show it, so she just thanked respectfully and stood up, but she didn't take a seat aside, but bowed slightly and made a gesture. A look of respectful listening to instructions.

"What did the old fourteen say?"

The third master obviously appreciated Hong Qing's gesture very much, but he didn't say much praise, but went straight to the point.

"If you go back to the father, the thing is like this..."

The negotiation with the old fourteen is a matter of confidentiality, but this kind of confidentiality is for outsiders, but it definitely does not include the people present. Hongqing naturally has no need to hide it, so she quickly organized her words and said The results of the negotiations and the process were briefly described.

"Well, so to speak, the old fourteen really wants to get such a vote, and I don't know what the eighth brother will care about."

The third master has been oppressed by the prince during this time, although he is not as embarrassed as the eighth master, but he still wears one pair after another of the little shoes, and he can't bear the prince in his heart, so he is looking forward to being able to He overturned the prince to the ground in one fell swoop, if it wasn't for that, the third master wouldn't be in a hurry to join forces with the eighth master. As for getting two important positions, it's just a matter of doing nothing. The third master is satisfied if he is satisfied, but he doesn't particularly care about it. What he cares about is whether there will be any moths on the other side of the eighth master. If he is really tricked by the eighth master, the consequences will not be fun.

"Father, Wang Mingjian, my child thought that Eighth Uncle had no choice."

Hong Qing knew what the third master was worried about, but she didn't explain in detail, she just gave the answer in words. Of course, there was another sentence that Hong Qing didn't say, that is, San Ye In fact, the Lord also has no choice. This point can be seen from the case of the emperor's tomb-although Hongqing's success in breaking the mystery of the emperor's tomb is extremely smooth, but only Hongqing knows the thrill of it. Hong Qing is vigilant, I am afraid that she has already been involved in this case, if this is the case, it will be Hong Qing's turn to plot against the prince, if it is difficult to protect herself, if she is implicated, the third master may not be good Fruit to eat, if you don't take advantage of this case to pull the prince off the horse, once the prince is relieved, it is inevitable that there will be endless troubles.

"Well, master, Zicheng, do you two have any advice on this?"

The matter was of great importance, even though he had already made a decision in his heart, the third master still didn't dare to express his opinion easily, so he threw the question to the two counselors sitting aside.

"My lord Mingjian, my subordinates think that what the little wangye said is true. This is the last chance for Ba Ye, and he will definitely not let it go. However, according to my subordinates, no matter how much Ba Ye struggles, it is all in vain. It's all about scheming, with His Majesty's wisdom, he will definitely not let him succeed, and at the right time, the prince's fortune will come."

Although Li Minquan is also considered a wise man, he is obviously not good enough in figuring out the holy will. Although he can figure out the thoughts of the eighth master and judge the inevitable failure of the eighth master, he is obviously not sure about what the old man will do. Take it for granted.

"Well, well, Master, you see..."

The third master's dream of the East Palace did not last for a day or two. Hearing what Li Minquan said, he was heartbroken for it. Although he didn't say it explicitly, his flushed face already explained everything.

"Let's go for now, and we will discuss the matter in the future."

Old Master Chen saw through what the third master was thinking at a glance, but he didn't point it out, he just simply responded.

"Okay, that's it!"

Seeing that Mrs. Chen had no objection, the third master was really full of ambition, so he didn't delay any longer. With a wave of his hand, he made a bold decision...

"His Royal Highness, Qi Shangshu is here."

Xu time is coming to an end, although the night is not too deep, but it is already time to pay money and food, but Prince Yinreng did not go to rest, paced back and forth in the spacious study room, frowning tightly, Looking worried, just when he was impatient and impatient, he heard a rush of footsteps, Zhang Degao, the deputy chief eunuch of the East Palace, had turned out from behind the screen, rushed to get behind the prince, bowed, and carefully reported One sentence.

"Xuan!"

The reason why Yinfeng didn't go to rest at this hour was because he was waiting for Qi Shiwu's arrival. As soon as he heard that he had arrived, his heartbeat immediately accelerated, and he gave the order without saying a word.

"twitter!"

Now that Yinfeng had given the order, Zhang Degao dared not neglect it, he hastily responded, and left the study in a hurry, not long after, he came in from outside accompanied by Qi Shiwu, who was in neat court uniform.

"The old minister kowtows to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

As soon as Fang turned his head from behind the screen, he saw the prince approaching with piercing eyes, Qi Shiwu didn't dare to be careless, rushed to the front, bowed his head respectfully.

"Well, it's free."

Although the prince was impatient, he didn't lose his sense of proportion, raised his hand in vain, and yelled warmly.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, Ron."

Qi Shiwu thanked him politely, kowtowed his head heavily, and then got up, but he didn't say much, but glanced around hesitantly, hesitant to speak.

"You all stand down!"

As soon as Qi Shiwu's cautious appearance appeared, the prince immediately nodded knowingly, waved his hand, and gave the order without any explanation.

"twitter!"

As soon as Prince Jinkou said this, Zhang Degao and other eunuchs, big and small, who were in the study all the time, did not dare to delay, they all agreed and left the room.

"How is the situation?"

As soon as everyone retreated, the prince couldn't hold back any longer, and hurriedly asked a question.

"If you go back to His Royal Highness, the old minister has already made arrangements. Qu Wufeng has already agreed to the old minister's request. The condition is that he will not be implicated, and he and his family will have ten thousand taels of silver. If they stay in the future, they must pave the way for their son to enter an official position." , The old minister dared to do so, and he had already agreed to his condition, and the matter was urgent, and the veteran was panicked before he reported it to His Highness Ming."

Although in the study room the emperor and his ministers played alone, Qi Shiwu was still very cautious, his voice was extremely low, so weak that he could barely hear it clearly.

"Well, good, Lord Qi is doing things, I can rest assured, um, how did the team leader surnamed Qin react?"

Prince Qi Shiwu was obviously very satisfied with the efficiency of his work, and he praised Qi Shiwu with a smile on his face, but he did not relax at this point, but turned to ask about the performance of another key figure in the case.

"This……"

When the prince asked about this matter, Qi Shiwu's expression froze.

"Huh? What's going on, tell me!"

The prince has always been a mean and ungrateful master, just now he praised Qi Shiwu's ability, but when he turned his head, his face was full of clouds, and he snorted impatiently, turning his face is a little faster than turning a book.

"Your Majesty the Crown Prince clearly learned that although the old minister is the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, the management of Ba Ye and others there has been going on for a long time, and it is complicated. It is not the old minister who can deal with it lightly. It is very difficult to have the opportunity to meet him privately, let the old minister make arrangements, and there will be rewards tomorrow."

It was only a few months since Qi Shiwu took office as Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. Although he had placed some manpower in the Ministry of Punishment when he took office, after all, there were limited vacancies, and there were not many positions he could get. The prince was forced not to say he was sick at home, but after all, he had the name of the elder brother of the Ministry of Justice. The Ministry of Punishment was definitely not Qi Shiwu's ability to cover the sky with one hand. It was already the limit of Qi Shiwu's ability to successfully communicate with Qu Wufeng in one day. As for Qin Fengwu's side , Qi Shiwu didn't care about it at all, this is the reality, even so, Qi Shiwu couldn't guarantee that the prince would understand, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and explain.

"Hmph! This matter is of great importance, how can it be child's play, at the latest at noon tomorrow, I will have a clear explanation, so I can do it myself!"

Although Qi Shiwu had already explained it very clearly, the prince didn't care so much, he snorted coldly, and gave the deadline without any explanation.

"Yes, the old minister should do his best."

Meeting such an unreasonable master as the crown prince, Qi Shiwu really had no choice but to reply with great reluctance.

"Well, that's good. I've written the book today, and I'm asking Huang Ama to hand over the case to you to preside over it. In a few days, the imperial decree will arrive. Before that, all matters must be completed , it’s really not working, what should I do, I just do it, can you hear me clearly?”

The crown prince gave Qi Shiwu a dissatisfied look, but he did not reprimand him, but confessed with a slight frown.

"Ah... yes, the old minister has remembered."

Although the crown prince didn't say it clearly, but Qi Shiwu knew the unfinished words in it as soon as he heard it, and he wanted Qi Shiwu to kill people if he failed to bribe him. This is a big event that will kill his head. Just when he was about to say something more, suddenly he saw that the prince's eyes were full of murderous intent, Qi Shiwu pursed his mouth a few times, he didn't dare to say more, so he had no choice but to agree to the promise.
