Volume 1: Treacherous officials causing chaos and harming the state affairs Chapter 117: Looking for clues [1]

In the evening, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, and Cen Wenxing, the minister of household affairs, were sitting opposite each other in a pavilion in the courtyard of Guo Mansion.

On the slate table, there is a kerosene lamp and several books.

Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs, was holding a brochure in his hand. He was sitting on a wooden chair and looking at the brochure in his hand attentively.

His eyes moved with the words.

Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, sat in front of Cen Wenxing, the minister of household affairs, and looked towards Cen Wenxing, the minister of household affairs.

The crescent moon hangs in the sky, and its light falls on the ground, adding a bit of brightness to the not-so-bright pavilion.

A few birds that were chirping just now suddenly stopped singing, and the bamboo leaves made a crisp sound when the breeze blew.

Seeing that Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs, did not say a word for a long time, Guo Kang, the Censor of Zuodu, became a little impatient.

"Cen Shangshu."

He shouted, but when he saw that Cen Wenxing, the minister of household affairs, still had no response, he shouted again.

"Cen Shangshu?!"

At this time, Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs, turned his eyes away from the book and looked at Guo Kang, the Censor of Zuodu, with a confused look on his face.

"You have been watching for so long, have you found any clues?" Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, asked.

Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs, looked at the book in front of him, sighed, looked at Guo Yushi, and replied: "I don't see anything wrong with this book."

After saying that, Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs, looked at Guo Kang, the Censor of Zuodu, with a questioning look on his face: "Censor Guo, do you think there is really nothing wrong with Yu Si Bai Gaoyuan?"

Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, shook his head, sighed, looked at Cen Wenxing, the minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and said: "As the saying goes, you know people, they know their faces, but they don't know their hearts, and their methods are different. If it hadn't been for you, Cen minister, to stop this case today, I'm afraid

The case was settled long ago."

After saying what he was thinking, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, looked at Cen Wenxing, the minister of household affairs, and asked what he was thinking: "Shang Shu, Cen, what kind of person is this Yu Si Bai Gaoyuan? Why do you conclude that he did this?

I'm sorry about the affairs of the household department and the imperial court?"

Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, had a kind smile on his face.

"Bai Gaoyuan studied hard in his early years. He failed to pass the imperial examinations for many years. He failed in several imperial examinations. It was not until he got an exam that it was not difficult for the court to set the questions. He also worked very hard later. He passed the examinations and the imperial examinations.

All of them are successful. I am extremely serious when working in Yusi. I was promoted to the position of Yusi just a few years ago. Now I have been working as an errand for four years."

"As for why Cen made such a conclusion. Based on Cen's eyes, since everything he hears is false, what he sees can't be false, right?"

Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs, said that Guo Kangdun, the Censor of Zuodu, also began to doubt Yu Si Bai Gaoyuan.

"Cen Shangshu, according to your opinion, how did Yu Si transport this grain in just a few months without being discovered by others?"

When Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, asked, Cen Wenxing, the minister of household affairs, sighed: "It's easy to transport this grain. Besides, Yu Si is not in the palace, and there are not many guards. Pick one."

Time, use of medicine, is casual. Or, they also get to divide the money of this grain, who can say that? Guo Yushi, do you think this is what Cen said? "

Guo Yushi nodded and said nothing more.

Cen Wenxing, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, looked up at the sky, sighed, took a few brochures in front of him, stood up, and smiled slightly.

"Guo Yushi, it's getting late, so Cen will take his leave first."

"Okay. Then Guo will give it to you."

Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs, waved his hand: "No need to send it away. Cen stayed in your Guo Mansion for so long today, which affected Guo Censor's rest."

"No, no, Guo usually sits in the courtyard like Cen Shangshu at this time, just reading some idle books."

Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs, smiled and waved his hand: "If you don't want to send it, I won't send it."

"Cen Shangshu, walk slowly, walk slowly."

After watching Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Revenue, go away, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, sat down and thought about other things.



"Master, why did you come back so late?"

As soon as they saw the figure of Master Cen Wenxing, several ladies from the Cen Mansion hurried over, saying nice things one after another, just like the women in the harem competing for favor.

Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs, ignored him and walked directly to the study.

As soon as he entered the study room, Cen Shangshu immediately closed the door, shutting out several ladies who wanted to compete for his favor.

The sound of arguing just stopped.

"Okay, sisters, please don't disturb me. Let's all go back."

A gentle and somewhat old-fashioned voice came.

I saw that these women all turned around and looked at the person who made the sound.

Yes, this person is the principal wife of the Cen Mansion. She is wearing a brown robe and her hair is covered with various decorations.

"yes."

After several women responded, they dispersed.

After watching the women disperse, the Madam smiled slightly on her face.

Although she looks like a girl in her twenties now, in fact, she is already in her thirties or almost forties.

Her surname is Bai.

After Mrs. Bai glanced at the study, she saw that the doors and windows were closed. Without saying anything, she walked towards her bedroom.

Cen Shangshu in the study did not rest, but read the book again.

Focus on looking for clues.

As I watched, without realizing it, the crescent moon outside the window was about to slide to the west.

At this time, a breeze blew up outside the window, and the bamboo leaves hit the water in the pool, making a small crisp sound.

Cen Shangshu yawned, squinted his eyes, placed the booklet on the table, rubbed his eyes, stood up, and walked towards the couch.

Early in the morning, Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Revenue, got up and hurried from the study towards the door of the mansion with a few books.

"master."

"master."

Several servants passing by said hello, but Cen Shangshu ignored them and walked away in a hurry.

"master."

Madame Bai called out, but Cen Shangshu still didn't respond.

"Have a meal before leaving?!"

Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs, shook his hand and hurried away without saying a word.

"fragrant flower."

"lady."

"My master has been like this since he came back yesterday, but what happened?" Mrs. Bai was a little worried.

"Madam, don't worry. Nothing will happen. Maybe the master is busy."

Seeing that the master was missing, Mrs. Bai walked away.

After leaving the mansion, Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs, hurried away.

Even if it is a court meeting, it will not be so early.

Since the founding of the Mo Dynasty, the time set by the imperial meeting has been Si hour, and it was not long after dawn, so it was close to Chen hour.
