Chapter 28: After one night, you have become even worse?
Feng Zhi saw that her eyes were fixed on the banknote in his hand: "How about I give it to you."
Su Nuobai really wanted to reach out and take it, but after thinking about it, she decided not to: "Let's go eat first! There are a lot of delicious food on the roadside, let's go for some snacks."
The two men came out of the alley and turned into men again. They were not in a hurry to go to the stalls, but ate whatever they saw along the way.
After eating at two shops, Feng Zhi could no longer eat. He saw Su Nuobai still eating, which stunned the owners of a row of roadside stalls.
Some people recognized her as the fortune teller sitting next to Uncle Jia, and seeing the way she ate, they understood why her fortune telling money was meat buns.
Shengjing Palace.
Su Deyi stood in the ranks of civil servants, but today everyone looked at him with a somewhat subtle look.
He didn't sleep well last night and his mind is still in a daze.
"Minister Su, Minister Su."
When Su Deyi heard someone calling him, he quickly came back to his senses and looked at the young emperor sitting in the hall.
He quickly stepped out of the queue and saluted respectfully: "I am here."
Xi Jinyou looked at the memorial in his hand and said, "Minister Su, I remember I reprimanded you in the court yesterday. How come you've become even more aggressive in just one night?"
Su Deyi looked puzzled: "I don't know what your majesty means."
Xi Jinyou threw the memorial in his hand at his feet: "Then Lord Su, please take a good look at the memorial impeaching you today."
Su Deyi quickly bent down to pick up the memorial on the ground, and when he opened it, he almost vomited blood.
It was said that he stole money from his concubine's daughter, did not give her food, and made her make paper figurines to supplement the family income.
Another book said that he concealed the illness of his eldest daughter and intentionally caused an infectious disease.
He quickly knelt on the ground and said, "I am innocent! Your Majesty, please understand."
Xi Jinyou sneered: "I think you are wronged."
Su Deyi had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Xi Jinyou's next words.
"In order to clear your name, I sent someone to your house to take a look. Your illegitimate seventh daughter lives in the same courtyard with her concubine, and there are even paper figurines placed there to supplement her household income."
"People from the Imperial Hospital also went to check on Miss Su Si at the farm. It's indeed cat litter, and it's contagious."
"Tell me, which of these things has wronged you?"
Su Deyi is now speechless. He had clearly issued a gag order last night. How did these people know about it?
"I am guilty."
"Since you are guilty, you should reflect on yourself." Xi Jinyou snorted coldly.
He then looked at the court officials and said, "Su Deyi failed to manage his family properly and concealed the fact that his daughter was infected with an infectious disease. He is demoted to Right Vice Minister and the imperial edict of the Cai family is revoked."
"The former Right Vice Minister will temporarily take over the position of Shangshu."
Su Deyi looked as pale as death. He had finally reached this position and was about to have a chance to enter the cabinet, but now this incident happened.
If it is not handled properly, I am afraid it will be difficult to take up the position again in the future.
"I obey the order."
Xi Jinyou looked at the people below and said, "If there is nothing else, please adjourn the court. Minister Lu, please go to the imperial study to discuss matters."
Lu Heyu stepped out of the ranks and said, "I obey your command."
Censor Tang looked at Su Deyi and said, "Lord Su, please treat your daughter well. We are neighbors, and I can hear everything that happens."
Su Deyi gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you, Lord Tang, for reminding me."
After leaving court, Lu Heyu went to the imperial study to wait for Xi Jinyou.
Xi Jinyou changed into casual clothes and came to the imperial study, dismissing everyone around him: "There are no outsiders here now, so don't be so restrained."
Lu Heyu casually found a chair nearby and sat down: "Your Majesty, are you planning to start with Minister Su?"
Xi Jinyou looked at the letter in his hand and raised his head to look at his childhood friend: "If you have something to hold over my head, I'd better not use it."
He put down the memorial in his hand and said, "But this Miss Su Qi is a wonderful person. She helped us a lot."
Lu Heyu didn't know what he was thinking about, but a smile appeared on his face: "It's really interesting."
Seeing his expression, Xi Jinyou felt a little pain in his heart: "He Yu, it seems that he is particularly concerned about this Miss Su Qi."
Lu Heyu retracted the expression on his face: "What if I say that she might be the person I'm looking for?"
Xi Jinyou clenched the memorial in his hand with a little force: "Good news, if she can really cure you, it will be a happy event."
"Otherwise, if twenty is your limit as they say, I'd find it a shame."
Lu Heyu looked at Xi Jinyou, noticing his unintentional little movements just now. "Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that I will have too much power after I recover?"
Xi Jinyou smiled and shook his head: "I'm not afraid."
He thought of something and changed the subject: "I see that both the cases reported by Jingzhao Yin and your Ministry of Justice involve Miss Su Qi. What is going on?"
Seeing that he was talking about serious matters, Lu Heyu told him everything he knew.
Xi Jinyou frowned: "Are you saying there really are ghosts?"
"There are all kinds of things in this world, including ghosts and monsters, and naturally there are capable people." Lu Heyu said lightly.
Xi Jinyou was silent for a while before speaking: "Do we need to set up a separate department? I'm afraid ordinary yamen runners can't handle these things."
"It's worth considering." Lu Heyu said without hesitation.
"I'll leave this matter to you. It's up to you to decide what kind of people are needed." Xi Jinyou made the final decision.
Lu Heyu stood up and saluted: "I obey your command."
"If there is nothing else, I will take my leave. The Ministry of Justice has a lot of things to do." Lu Heyu said and prepared to leave.
Xi Jinyou looked at his back as he turned and left, and asked softly, "Is she okay?"
Lu Heyu paused slightly: "It's fine at the moment."
Xi Jinyou smiled, and looking at the gate where no one was, he let out a long sigh.
Jin An walked up to him and asked quietly, "Your Majesty, since you want to see Miss Su Qi, why don't you go and see her?"
Xi Jinyou looked at the young eunuch who had grown up with him and said, "I can't give you anything now. Although I sit in this position, the people below me are all old foxes."
"I'm already walking on thin ice, why should I let her get involved in this mess?"
How could Jin An not know his suffering? Although he sat in this position, he also came out of life and death.
Even now, his brothers are still eyeing this position, and so are all the ministers in the court.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has urged you to participate in the selection several times. It has been a while since you ascended the throne, but the position of Queen and the harem are still vacant."
Xi Jinyou felt irritated for a while. Sometimes he really wished he was not in the imperial family.
The imperial family may seem glorious and powerful, but it is also a layer of shackles that have imprisoned him so much that he can hardly breathe.
If Lu Heyu hadn't helped him all these years, he probably wouldn't be alive today.
"Let's go to Tai'an Palace to pay our respects to our mother!"
