I'll be a nanny for the lord

Chapter 1195

Bai Shangshu is also a powerful figure.

Now that he knew he couldn't escape, he made a quick decision - go out and meet Xia Ying!

It is still severe winter in the capital, and the weather today is gloomy, with no ray of sunshine overhead.Standing outside, people shivered from the cold after a while, and those with weaker bodies couldn't bear it at all.

However, Bai Shangshu is more than 50 years old, and he is already an old man in this era.However, he only wore plain white homely clothes, his gray hair was pulled up hastily, and he came out in a hurry.

When he walked out of the gate, he tripped over the threshold and almost fell to the ground because he was walking too fast!
"ah!"

When the crowd outside saw this, they couldn't help but exclaimed.

But fortunately, Bai Shangshu grabbed the door frame with one hand, stood firm in front of him, and then stumbled to Xia Ying.

"I've seen Mrs. Ronghua, I've seen Princess Changrong, I'm late!" He repeatedly bowed to Xia Ying, with an indescribably humble gesture and tone.

Mrs. Bai came out right after her. She rubbed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief: "Mrs. Ronghua and Princess Changrong have been waiting for a long time! It's just that after my master found out about the incident yesterday, he dispatched everyone around him to investigate the Luhua case. He was also busy until midnight before finally being able to close his eyes and rest for a while. Therefore, Mrs. Ronghua came to ask for an explanation early this morning. Because I felt sorry for the master and wanted him to sleep more, I wanted to invite the two of you to the mansion to talk. The master woke up Afterwards, I lost my temper, and the concubine realized that she had done something wrong!"

After hearing this, everyone took a closer look and found that Bai Shangshu's face was tired, and there were two big black spots under his eyes. He really looked like an old man who had been overworked.

Many people suddenly softened their hearts.

Bai Shangshu also hurriedly explained to Xia Ying: "In the middle of the night yesterday, the old man just cleared up some clues about the matter, but who knew that he immediately learned about Chu Shilang's suicide, so it was inevitable to make a fuss. When someone came, his energy was low. It was so easy to finish the work, the old man just said to close his eyes and take a rest, who knew he overslept! It was the old man's fault for making Mrs. Ronghua wait for a long time! But please rest assured, Mrs. Ronghua, what you want to know, the old man has already done it here There is a charter, please read it!"

Tremblingly, he took out a thick memorial from his sleeve and handed it to Xia Ying.

This memorial was originally only for the emperor to read, but now he has not had time to hand it over to the emperor, so he took the initiative to show it to Xia Ying first?

He pretended to be humble, but actually dug a big hole for Xia Ying to jump into.

As long as Xia Ying dares to accept the memorial, it is disobedience to the king, and the imperial censor will fly all over the sky to participate in her memorial!
Of course Xia Ying would not be so stupid as to take the memorial.

It's not that she doesn't want to see the old guy pretend to organize some high-sounding words to prevaricate the emperor, but...

"I don't like to read words. Since Bai Shangshu already has a charter, why don't you just say it directly and let everyone listen to it and judge whether it is reasonable or not. Although I provoked this matter, but this explanation But you can’t just give it to me, after all, this is related to the well-being of the soldiers of the whole world!”

She refused so generously that even Bai Shangshu had to bite the bullet and stuff the memorial into her hand.

Sure enough, this woman is too shrewd!

Bai Shangshu cursed secretly in his heart, but he had already honestly dictated the contents of the memorial——

"First of all, after the old man learned about what Madam Ronghua said, he immediately dispatched people to the Ministry of War to check the secret letters sent from various places. Sure enough, he found relevant information in the wastebasket. It's just that this matter was reported by the Northwest Army Quartermaster Lu Changyuan and his team colluded with a party official from the Military Supplies Department. When the news came, the people in the capital intercepted the news in advance and planned to destroy it secretly. Thanks to Mrs. Ronghua who noticed it in advance and gave the old man a reminder, otherwise the old man would really become a I am the eternal sinner of the heavenly dynasty!"

After finishing speaking, he saluted Xia Ying sincerely.

"The old man made a big mistake in this matter, and a crime of negligence is indispensable. The old man has already written an apology and submitted it to the emperor, and he must have been sent to the palace by now. However, the old man is still sitting in front of the minister after all. The position, then the old man must first find a way to deal with the matter, the old man can't let the border guards continue to starve and suffer from cold! Therefore, the old man has asked someone to count out [-] sets of cotton clothes from the warehouse of the Ministry of War, and send them to the northwest border immediately. Now the convoy has set off."

"As well as the question of the accountability of the relevant personnel, the old man has already sorted out the matter. All the people involved in this matter have been found out by the old man, and they have already been imprisoned in the prison. They will only wait for the imperial court to open the seal after the Lantern Festival. The review will begin. Now, this old man can inform Mrs. Ronghua of the names and official positions of these participants."

This person is thoughtful, since he told Xia Ying that he wanted to solve the matter, he really divided the matter into several pieces, and he spoke clearly and logically in every aspect from accountability to compensation.

He is such an old man, generally speaking, most of the affairs in the Ministry of War are handled by the two servants, and he only needs to be responsible for setting the tone of the general direction.

But now, just to give Xia Ying a satisfactory explanation, he stood up in the cold wind and told Xia Ying everything he had arranged one by one.

He almost couldn't stand up several times in the middle, and his children and grandchildren offered to finish the speech for him, but Bai Shangshu refused.He insisted on telling Xia Ying everything clearly.

When the common people saw this, they were all very moved.

After finishing the last word, Bai Shangshu cupped his hands and saluted Xia Ying.

"This old man has done his best. I don't know if all this can satisfy Mrs. Ronghua?"

Xia Ying just looked at the old man who was already crooked and almost unable to stand, and said nothing.

The crowd watching couldn't bear it any longer, and someone began to shout: "Bai Shangshu is a good official! He was dragged down by those villains under his command!"

Someone also said to Xia Ying: "Mrs. Ronghua, just take it as soon as you see it! They have already shown such sincerity! Don't embarrass the old man!"

Ha ha ha.

Xia Ying kept sneering in her heart.

If Bai Shangshu hadn't sent someone to assassinate them in the first place, she would have been really moved by this old man's perfect performance.

however……

Thinking of Gu Tuo who was injured because of herself, and thinking of how she and Princess Changrong had stood here for so long, fighting wits and courage with the people in Shangshu's mansion for countless rounds, it was so easy to wait for this person After a performance, she now just feels like laughing.

These people actually don't take other people's grievances seriously at all.At first they just wanted to forcefully suppress the matter, but seeing that they couldn't suppress it, they began to pretend to solve the matter.

But could things really end so smoothly?

Xia Ying didn't believe it.
