The next day, Weng and his son-in-law went to see Wang Zhi with heavy gifts, and it happened that Wang Zhi came back from the palace.

He is the most trusted eunuch of Emperor Chenghua and Concubine Wan Gui, and he has his own mansion outside the palace.

Back home, the little eunuch reported that Mr. Yu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, was waiting in the living room.

Although Wang Zhi is very powerful, he is only a fourth rank, but the minister of the Ministry of Industry is a senior member of the second rank, and he usually has a very good relationship, so he can get along with his face, so he hurriedly changed his clothes and went to see the guests.After entering the hall, he smiled and said, "Master Yu has been waiting for a long time!"

Yu Qiu and Mu Qi hurriedly stood up to greet each other, Yu Qiu said: "I heard that Mr. Wang came back from a victorious battle in the North, so I'm here to congratulate you."

He turned around and ordered the servant to present the gift list, and the little eunuch with Wang Zhi took it and presented it to Wang Zhi.Wang Zhi opened the post to have a look, and said with a smile: "Master Yu is still so polite, please take a seat. Who is this?"

Yu Qiu introduced to him: "This is my son-in-law Mu Qi, a newly promoted Jinshi this spring, and now he is a small head of the household department."

"Oh~ I've heard that the young Jinshi is really heroic! Yu Gong is blessed, he recruited a good son-in-law!"

Mu Qi hurried forward to meet him, calling him "Mr. Wang" and calling himself "Student".

Wang Zhi likes to be arty, and he was overjoyed to see scholars being so modest. He laughed and quickly helped him up and said, "We can't be a new Jinshi." This Wang Zhi has been in the Shanxi Army for a long time, but he likes to use it The title in the army is self-proclaimed, which seems more masculine, and it becomes a habit if you talk too much.Alas, it can only be smeared with words.

Mu Qi quickly laughed and said: "Wang Gong's reputation is widespread, and his virtue is known to the world. Who doesn't know? He has made great military achievements today. Throughout the ages, there are few people who can match him. The student is a literati who only knows a few words. Not wanting to kill enemies for the country on the battlefield, so I have paid homage to Duke Wang for a long time, and I am so honored to see you today, this worship is just out of my heart."

Wang Zhi was even happier, smiling all over his face, and said, "Come here, bring the jade ruyi we usually use, and give it to Mr. Mu, a little gift, as a meeting gift. Young people are awesome, and the waves of the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Master Yu, we all old~"

Yu Qiu also agreed.

Seeing that the words were almost finished, Yu Qiu lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Wang, I came to the door today, but I still have something difficult to ask Mr. Wang."

After finishing speaking, he looked around, Wang Zhi understood, waved his hand, and sent away his subordinates.

As soon as the door was closed, Mu Qi fell to his knees, knocked his head on the ground, and burst into tears.

Wang Zhi was puzzled, he quickly bent over to help him up, and said, "What is Xianqi doing? If you have any embarrassing things, just tell me."

Since he called himself Xianqi, Mu Qile got close, and immediately burst into tears: "My nephew is sorry for Wang Gong. This time I am going back to my hometown to worship my ancestors. Master Hu and my nephew are going to play together. Master Hu..." He was choked with sobs.

Wang Zhi was even more puzzled, "Hu Lin? We haven't seen him for more than half a year. What's the matter with him?"

Mu Qi burst into tears: "Lord Hu is dead."

Wang Zhi was taken aback and said, "He was in good health. He was in his thirties. Why did he die? What disease?"

"It's not that I'm sick, it's all my nephew's fault, because when I got home, I was too busy to dissuade him, Master Hu got drunk and competed with others, and died from a knife wound by mistake."

"Ah? Who dares to hurt our godson!" Wang Zhi clapped the handle of the armchair, stood up and shouted.

Mu Qi slandered in his heart: It's your godson, not mine.But he hurriedly said: "It's all my nephew's fault, my little nephew's fault."

Wang Zhi shook his head and said: "Xian Qi has nothing to do with you. You just need to speak clearly."

Yu Shangshu wiped his cold sweat secretly, but he picked himself up clearly.

My son-in-law is good at acting, thanks to his tears.

Mu Qi said with tears in his eyes: "My nephew went back to his hometown to worship his ancestors this time. Mr. Hu said that he heard the quiet scenery of Tonglu and the beautiful scenery of Fuchun River. He wanted to go for a visit. My nephew naturally agrees." He choked up again, and continued: "Hu My lord played privately with my nephew without accompanying him, who knows it would cause a big disaster."

Wang Zhi frowned.

Mu Qisheng said weakly: "Oh, my nephew and Mr. Hu are not familiar with each other on weekdays. I don't know that he likes beautiful women very much. It's not a big deal to take a few servants. It's just that Mr. Hu was drunk that day. , On the street, he even dragged a scholar who was studying back home, but the scholar refused, and the two began to quarrel. I heard from the servants that Mr. Hu took the dagger to scare the scholar. Who knew that when he did that, In the chaos, the scholar accidentally injured Sir Hu. When my nephew arrived, Master Hu was already dead. This incident is all due to my nephew’s lack of protection, please be punished by my lord.”

Wang Zhi frowned, and said: "This matter has nothing to do with you, so there is no need to talk about it. Just let that murderer take his life."

Mu Qi paused, and then said: "If it's just this matter, it would be easy for him to die, but the scholars in that county wrote letters one after another, saying that Mr. Hu took advantage of Wang Gong's power to forcibly collect money and rape scholars. It's insulting to the gentleman, and now the whole county is making a fuss, because it hinders your reputation, Mr. Wang, so it's difficult to handle. My nephew came here specially to ask Mr. Wang to inform you."

Wang Zhi pondered for a moment.

Mu Qi took the opportunity to say: "If you want to talk about this matter, although my nephew shouldn't say it, Mr. Hu is also wrong. Men are beautiful, it's natural, but it's not good to go too far. My nephew has persuaded me several times Master Hu said, if a man is born in this world, if he doesn’t enjoy the beauty to his heart’s content, his life will be in vain? So my nephew couldn’t persuade me, so I had to let him go, I didn’t expect such a disaster to happen.”

Wang Zhi sat there with luck, his face sinking like water.

Mu Qicha looked at his face, and continued: "Although my nephew met Wang Gong for the first time, I really feel that this life is not in vain. My lord's reputation is earned by myself. My lord will cherish his feathers, but he can't stop it." If others take advantage of your reputation to do inappropriate things, and the people of the world still think that you did it yourself, wouldn’t it be unfair?”

Wang Zhi nodded.

Mu Qi said again: "Your Majesty must still remember the case of impersonating you in the 14th year of Chenghua. That person did a lot of illegal things. At that time, who could tell whether it was the real deity of Your Majesty? If it wasn't for you to see clearly later, To solve this big case, I'm afraid the common people will still think that the adults did those things. Isn't this being splashed with dirty water for no reason and staining your name?"

Wang Zhi nodded and smiled, "Yes, I still remember that person was called Yang Fulai at that time."

"Yes. Then Yang Fu pretended to be an adult and committed a shocking case. After the case was solved by the adult, people in the world will know the injustice of the adult, and only then can they know that the honor of the adult is true. Therefore, it is not appropriate to make a big noise about the matter of Sir Hu this time. After all, he raped a scholar. Although the incident is not a big deal, it can't add color to the boss's face. Therefore, if the murderer is beheaded, I'm afraid the whole country will know about it. The people don't know that when this happened, the boss will still In the borderlands, fighting bloody battles for the country and the people, and still saying that the adults ordered it, wouldn’t this ruin the name of the old man? You have worked hard for the country, but you have been misunderstood in this way, and the juniors feel that the old man is not worth it.”

Wang Zhi nodded again and again, thinking to himself, this kid can see clearly and think clearly, and he is a man who can be made. Then Hu Lin, it was in vain for me to trust him. I fucking supervise the army on the front line, and he is having a good time. He also ridiculed me as a crippled person, which is hateful, and, relying on my power to do shameful things, people still say that I did it, I am a fucking eunuch, and I can’t enjoy the ultimate happiness in life When it comes, I have to take the blame for him!

After thinking about it, he smiled and said: "Since you have handled this matter, let you handle it. It must be done comprehensively. There is only one thing, although that person shouldn't die, he is not a good person. If our godson can If we kill him, wouldn't we lose all face?"

Mu Qi's heart trembled again, he was vomited by the word "we", but immediately continued: "The man's death penalty is not sentenced, but it is to silence the scholars. It is true that he killed people. Exiling him to do hard labor in the seaside saltworks is also a lesson for him. What do you think?"

Wang Zhi smiled: "What you said won our hearts. Let's say hello to the Ministry of Criminal Justice later. You will assist in handling this matter and take care of us if necessary. You will definitely be promoted in the future."

Mu Qi said with a smile: "The younger generation will definitely be able to suppress this matter within the county, and not let this matter spread. Just spread and spread that the adults are fair and honest, and do not show favoritism."

Wang Zhi nodded with a smile.

Mu Qi exhausted all his strength to perform this scene, almost collapsed, and finally saved Tao Linghua's life and his official position. As for the county magistrate, Mr. Wu, he didn't even mention it, so naturally he saved it.

Wang Zhi was only recognized as a godson when he saw Hu Lin being filial. Seeing that he didn't give him a face and mocked him as a eunuch, he couldn't enjoy the fun of a man, so he was very angry. He even forgot to think about more things, and he was busy with things. He didn't hold on to Wu County Magistrate and Mu Qi, and he was indifferent to Hu Lin.

As for Hu Lin's family, they are just rich and have no great power. They dare not say a word about "Wang Gong".

A few days later, the official documents from Tonglu County arrived, and indeed there were petitions from scholars from all over the county.

Wang Zhi snorted and let go of the matter.Although Mu Qi is not an official of the Ministry of Punishment, he cannot stand out, but the officials of the Ministry of Punishment know that he is favored by Wang Zhi, so who would not rush to flatter him?

Mu Qixian followed the little eunuch sent by Wang Zhi to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple. After making arrangements, he returned home victorious. After this battle, he almost lost half his life. If he had more power, he could do anything. It's a pity that Tao Linghua can't be taken out at this time, and his life is already a profit.Then I thought that I should become that little goblin right away, because of him, I was so tired that I vomited blood.

It's okay not to think about it, but I couldn't help it anymore, and rushed to Zhejiang at night.After more than a month of running around, this capable master has lost a lot of weight, but he has become more energetic.
