Jin Chengan felt relieved. Even if it was a princess, as long as the fourth brother could hold it, it would not be a problem. He couldn't help but smile on his face and praised the Fourth Master: "You are more promising than your elder brother."

At least in terms of grasping the wife, the boss's ability is really embarrassing.

The Fourth Master choked. In this regard, he really didn't want to compare. Seeing that the Chu family sitting on the side was not good, the Fourth Master pulled Lin Yutong up, "This is something..." He looked at Qi Duoer with some meaning, "It's more appropriate to say it privately."

Seeing Lin Yutong get up, Jin Chengan and Chu also got up and sent it out.

Turning back, Chu looked at Qi Duoer with a complicated expression.

Lin Yutong and the Fourth Master passed by the gate of the Crown Prince's Courtyard, and from afar, they could still hear the noise inside. The two looked at each other and knew the end of the Chu family. On the day when Jin Chengan secretly returned, they were a little closer.

In the evening, Chu Yuan, wearing a black cloak, entered the Duke Jin's mansion.

Jin Chengan was waiting in the study room, and when he saw Chu Yuan, he quickly bowed: "Father-in-law, you have to go this trip to the middle of the night."

Chu Yuan waved his hand and sat straight on: "Sit down! Sit down and talk."

Jin Cheng'an's face changed slightly, and then he restrained himself, "I have heard about the matter in the teahouse. What is my father-in-law planning to do?"

Chu Yuan shook his head and sighed: "The princess who came from the wrong way will not call me anything. But the real cause of the disease lies in the emperor's heart. If the emperor really wants to do it, then no one can stop him?"

Jin Chengan nodded and said tentatively: "If my father-in-law really can't swallow this, then we..."

"No!" Chu Yuan waved his hand repeatedly, "That little property is our last reliance, and nothing we say should not be easily revealed. Now, it is not time to end our end."

Kim Sung-an showed a little apology on his face, "Looking at my father-in-law suffering, I feel in my heart..."

Chu Yuan was a little relieved: "You are my husband's son-in-law, and I will protect you. Don't worry about this! I know how to choose."

Kim Sung-an nodded gratefully: "Who does my father-in-law want to throw it out this time?"

Chu Yuan shook his head immediately, "If you don't move, you can't explain it to the emperor. Since it's a hard trick, you have to act more seriously. What do you think about Fang Zhao?"

Fang Zhao, now the Minister of Personnel! He is also the earliest person to defect to Chuyuan.

Now the Minister of Personnel is about to reach the age of retirement. Fang Zhao has to endure for another two years and is the Minister of Personnel! At this time, cutting off such a person is not just cutting off his arms, but also cutting off half of his body.

Jin Chengan admired Chu Yuan's decisiveness and ruthlessness: "Okay! The emperor attaches great importance to the place in the Ministry of Personnel. If you have freed up the seat here, the emperor should be satisfied."

Chu Yuan nodded, but a trace of light flashed in his eyes.

Jin Chengan also smiled and slowly lowered his eyelids. The Chu family kept it, and it was already useless!

Lin Yutong and the Fourth Master were sitting in Fang Zhao's study at this moment.

"Your Highness and the prince consort are visiting late at night, and I am really frightened." Fang Zhao personally poured tea for the two of them, and then carefully tentatively said: "I wonder what your highness has to give?"

The Fourth Master pointed to the chair on the side: "Sir Fang, let's sit down and talk."

Fang Zhao had to sit down with a heart full of doubt, and his butt only occupied one-third of the chair.

This person is a very cautious person. Facing his improper princess, he does not dare to be rude at all.

"Master Fang!" Lin Yutong looked at Fang Zhao seriously, "Do you know this person Xue Heng?"

Fang Zhao's face turned pale all of a sudden, "Why did Your Highness ask... Xue Heng is Chen's cousin..."

"Cousin?" Lin Yutong narrowed her eyes slightly, "Then I'll ask you, if your cousin is Xue Heng, who are you?"

Fang Zhao stood up all of a sudden: "My...My...Fang Zhao doesn't understand what the princess meant?"

The Fourth Master put the teacup heavily on the table, "Fang Zhao, twenty years ago, thirty-eight Jinshi in Bingzi 20 years ago. He is from Meixian, Qingzhou. Both his parents died and stayed at his aunt's house. His aunt married the merchant Xue family and gave birth to a son and a daughter. His son was named Xue Heng, who was the same age as Fang Zhao. Fang Zhao looked like a father, but Xue Heng followed his uncle. Therefore, to outsiders, Fang Zhao and Xue Heng were like twin brothers..."

The more Fang Zhao heard, his face became whiter and his breathing became heavier, "Your Highness, Your Highness! It's not what you think. I don't..."

As he was talking, the door of the study was pushed open. A middle-aged man with a cane walked in from outside.

"Your Highness, don't be embarrassed by your cousin." As he said that, he knelt down, "Xue Heng, the grass-rootsman, have seen Your Highness."

Lin Yutong looked at Fang Zhao and then at Xue Heng: "You are really... Now the fake ones have become real."

Xue Heng left a beard to cover his face. Seeing Lin Yutong sighing like this, he said, "Your Highness! Everything about Caomin is given by the Xue family. On that day, Caomin returned to his hometown after high school and encountered a water bandit on the road... He lame one leg, so he saved his life. But for more than ten years of hard study, he couldn't see that he was just going to waste. What can Caomin pay for the kindness of the Xue family? So, he changed his identity with his cousin. From then on, he was Fang Zhao, and I was Xue Heng."

The Fourth Master continued, "He doesn't know how to be an official, but you can. So you hide your identity and become a counselor by the fake party summons."

Lin Yutong sighed, really admiring these two people for twenty years. She looked at Xue Heng's lame leg and said, "I heard that Mrs. Zun looks ugly and never sees outsiders. Even at home, she wears a face towel. If I guess correctly, your wife should be the girl who died early in the Xue family."

Fang Zhao nodded helplessly, and when he saw that he was exposed, he didn't hide it: "That's right! My sister got engaged with my cousin back then. Who knew what happened next? If I want to impersonate Fang Zhao, then he must be Xue Heng. In this way, to outsiders, he and his sister became brothers and sisters. The mother had no choice but to call her sister 'dead' and then she changed her face and married in."

He lowered his head: "I am guilty of being a crime! I am guilty of deceiving the king! I die!"

Lin Yutong then said, "Get up! We came to the door while the night was dark, and the place we were talking was in your study room. I just didn't plan to make things difficult for you."

Xue Heng leaned on a crutch, but with his other hand he went to bait Fangzhao.

Seeing that these two people did not mean to exchange their names and identities, Lin Yutong said, "Then follow the current name?"

Xue Heng felt a little sad: "Now Caomin has almost forgotten that he was Fang Zhao." He shook his head, "Camin has known for a long time that the bigger the official position, the greater the danger inside. There has never been an airtight wall in this world, and secrets will always be dug out. It's just a difference that is a little later, a little earlier!"

Fang Zhao showed a look of shame: "To be honest with your highness, my cousin said when I was the prefect of Yunzhou that I would be fine if I reached the fourth rank. I should not go back in the capital, just retire like this. After all, I am an official family. I am unable to let go of my future career. I have been fascinated by this illusory prominence over the years."

Lin Yutong then looked at Xue Heng again, "Then tell me, why am I here today?"

Xue Heng glanced at Fang Zhao and sighed again: "Caomin told his cousin before that Prime Minister Chu's roots are too deep, so deep that the emperor cannot do it. But his cousin is in an important place in the Ministry of Personnel. If the emperor's influence in the Ministry of Personnel is not as great as Prime Minister Chu, then his cousin, as the minister, will be done to the end. Now, when the princess comes, Caomin is more sure that this time, if either the emperor wants to take action, he will be the Prime Minister Chu will have to cut off his arms."

Fang Zhao's face turned pale: "Blame me! Blame me!" He sighed, "Human hearts are not enough, snakes swallow elephants! If I had listened to my cousin, it would be a great thing to return to my hometown now."

But there is no regret medicine in the world.

Xue Heng was a bachelor, and said bluntly: "Your Highness comes and you must have an explanation. At this critical moment, everything you say is fake. I just want to save the lives of the Xue Fang family..."

Know the fun!

Lin Yutong looked at Xue Heng: "Don't be so pessimistic. If you get things done, I will not only protect you from the two of you, but also give you a big future."

Xue Heng looked at Lin Yutong in shock, then smiled bitterly at his lame legs: "Your Highness's kindness, the people have appreciated it. But..."

Lin Yutong waved his hand: "It's just that your legs are lame, not your heart is lame. Over the years, although you have depended on Chuyuan, you have some remarkable points as an official. No matter where you serve, the people's labor service and taxes are collected at least. Not to mention the exploitation of fish and meat, this is enough."

Fang Zhao was relieved at this time and knelt down heavily, "Thank you for your rebirth!"

Lin Yutong glanced at the Fourth Master, and then the Fourth Master took out an account book from his arms, "Get up and see this."

Fang Zhao stood up quickly, took it and flipped through two pages, then his expression suddenly changed and he handed the account book to Xue Heng.

Xue Heng frowned and looked at it, his face looked a little ugly: "That's right! The number is right! For this matter, we are grateful to Prime Minister Chu, but we didn't expect it to be like this."

Fang Zhao nodded: "That year, after the autumn tax revenue came up, he was going to escort the people to Beijing. When the servants came back, they said that the autumn tax had been paid. But soon, they received a letter from Prime Minister Chu asking why the autumn tax had not been paid. I was puzzled at the time and immediately called the general responsible for the escort to ask, who knew that the general died suddenly on the same day. Naturally, I didn't believe it was a coincidence, and I just thought that it was cheated in the capital. Later, Prime Minister Chu dealt with it, reported the drought to Yunzhou and reduced taxes. We were not held accountable,

If you lose the autumn tax, you don’t have to collect it from the people anymore. This is really a joy. Prime Minister Chu wrote again, saying that it caused us disaster because of his reasons. We thought it was a man who was not in dealing with Prime Minister Chu. We felt deeply that Prime Minister Chu was open and honest. He didn’t have to tell us about these things. But he still said that our brothers felt that Prime Minister Chu is worthy of deep diploma. Soon afterwards, I was transferred to the capital. This was also the effort of Prime Minister Chu. Unexpectedly, he swallowed the autumn tax...

Xue Heng waved his hand: "This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that he swallowed the autumn tax. Where did the grain and silver be used? This is the most deadly." As he said that, he looked at Lin Yutong, "Yunzhou Prefecture is adjacent to Beiliao. This autumn tax was probably not out of Yunzhou, so it was thrown away. He entered the capital and really went..."

"Bei Liao?" Fang Zhao was stunned. This was a collaboration between the enemy!

Of course it was not a collaboration between the enemy! Those things did not go to Northern Liao, but entered the horse farm of Duke Jin's mansion.

But there is no need to tell these two people.

Lin Yutong's eyes flashed, "You know now, what should you do next?"

Fang Zhao looked at Xue Heng, and Xue Heng gritted his teeth and nodded: "It's better to start first! Your Highness can rest assured."

Lin Yutong felt that this fake Xue Heng was really a very decisive person. Such a person could only hide in the dark after being lame with one leg. It was a pity for this talent.

The next day, Lin Yutong was still sleeping and was suddenly awakened by a sound of drums.

"This is..." She rubbed her eyes, "This is Dengwen Gu!"

The Fourth Master listened, "Yeah! It's Dengwen Gu." As he said that, his expression changed and he jumped up quickly, "Get up and go into the palace quickly."

Lin Yutong was stunned at first, and then cursed. According to their intention, he asked Fang Zhao to directly submit a memorial to the emperor, but who knew that the Dengwen drum was ringing. It was Xue Heng who beat the Dengwen drum.

This person is really cruel and doesn't leave any way out for anything.

If Fang Zhao submitted a memorial, even if Chu Yuan was not taken down, it would be a matter between his colleagues. Even if he was punished, how much sin would he be? Demolishing is the most serious punishment. But now when the drum sounds, there is no way out. This is to take out all your life and life.

"I'm afraid it won't work when I enter the palace." Lin Yutong sighed. Can Gan still enter the court?

The Fourth Master stuffed some snacks into Lin Yutong's mouth: "You act according to the opportunity. I'll visit a few people now, just try to delay..."

"Who are you visiting?" Lin Yutong asked while eating.

The Fourth Master urged her: "Don't worry about this. I asked the third brother to pass on the message to the Gao family before. The Gao family has not been idle for the past few days. Since someone has sacrificed his life, I can just throw it off for her..."

When the drum sounded, Lin Yutong and the Fourth Master woke up. The whole capital was awakened.

Emperor Yongkang was sitting opposite the Gan family, and the two had breakfast together.

Gan’s meals are not so particular, and they are very homely. But Emperor Yongkang likes to eat this bite. The two of them don’t talk about troublesome things, but only talk about eating and drinking, which is quite pleasant.

There was a sudden drum sound, and Emperor Yongkang and Gan immediately looked up, wanting to look at each other, but they both saw shock in each other's eyes.

"Not you?"

"Not you?"

The two spoke in unison.

Gan shook his head: "It's really not what I arranged." She never thought of trying to get Chu Yuan so high-profile.

"Then where did this wind come from?" Emperor Yongkang put down the chopsticks in his hand and walked out quickly.

Gan's face was so shocked that this was the thing in the world. No matter how careful the plan was, there would be accidents. And what could he get from this accident?
