Colleagues here are all white lotus [Rebirth]

After Xie Yin sent the doctor away, he sat alone in the front hall, rubbed his face vigorously, and was stunned for a while.

Finally made up his mind and called Qin De.

Xie Yin sipped a mouthful of Longjing, and one sentence shocked the old servant who had served in the Hou's mansion for many years.

"...Qin De, tell me, how about I resign now? Will the emperor agree?"

Qin De took a look at Xie Yin's face, and said cautiously, "Young Lord has held an important position in the court before he was a weak crown, which shows that the emperor values ​​it. If he resigns from the official position at this time, I'm afraid there is no reason why he must do it. The emperor will not Allowed."

Xie Yin sighed, and said in his heart that if I continue to work, I will definitely die.Wouldn't it be nice to resign from the official position and take the money from the Hou's mansion to be happy and happy.

Seeing that Xie Yin's expression was not good, Qin De thought it over and said with relief, "Young Lord, don't be discouraged, even if the court is more difficult, the Empress Dowager still cares about the orphans of the Hou's mansion, and will never let the little Lord be killed by others." insulted."

Xie Yin drooped his ears in despondency, and suddenly remembered what happened last night, "How did the assassins sneak in last night, is there still a loophole in the defense of the Hou Mansion?" He must cherish the life bestowed by God.

"Li Da, who was on duty under the courtyard wall, was ill the day before yesterday. He secretly replaced the talent and something went wrong. The old slave has already dispatched a group of people and checked the outer courtyard again. Fortunately, the guards in the inner courtyard were personally selected by the brothers and sisters of the Wei family. , more vigilant than ordinary guards, and thus caught the assassin."

"Brothers and sisters of the Wei family?" Xie Yin looked at Qin De's puzzled face, and took a sip of tea as a cover-up, "I told you this morning, maybe I had a fever last night, and now I can't remember many things clearly."

Qin De hurriedly said: "Brothers Wei Bai and Weiqian were abandoned babies taken in by the old Hou Ye, and their kung fu was taught by the old Hou Ye, now that the old Hou Ye has gone, Wei Bai Weiqian will stay in Hou Ye The government continues to do things for Lord Hou. Master Wei went to Yunnan last year and has not returned yet. Some time ago, Lord Hou wanted to investigate the evidence of Xue Shilang and sent Miss Wei to go. I think he should be back soon."

"Hmm..." Xie Yin nodded, "Sit down."

Qin De was about to refuse, when Xie Yin said, "Sit down and tell me everything about the Marquis's residence, I'm in a daze right now, I'm afraid I've missed something."

After Qin De heard this, he sat down on the lower stool, and carefully told Xie Yin about the situation in the Hou Mansion.

After listening for most of the time, Xie Yin realized that the affairs in the Hou's Mansion were very simple to deal with. The original owner's parents had passed away, and he didn't have many relatives. It's just that Mrs. Xianhou was born by Emperor Jing and was named Princess Jing'an. The empress dowager has a sort of sister-in-law friendship, so the empress dowager often misses the orphan of the Hou family.

Therefore, Xie Yin is the only master in this Hou's mansion, and he can make a fuss as much as he wants, so he doesn't need to worry about being seen as strange all the time.

After Qin De finished talking about the Hou Mansion, Xie Yin asked about Chaozhong again.

Qin De should be the closest person to Xie Yin in the past, so he can talk about the affairs of the court, whoever is offended and whoever is easy to talk to.

In order to save his life, Xie Yin asked the most important question: "...Which adults have I made enemies with? Apart from Xue Shilang this time, is there anyone else who wants to kill me?"

Qin De fixedly looked at his young master, and felt that the fever caused by the young master really changed him.He opened his mouth and swallowed the words several times, and finally chose the most euphemistic rhetoric.

"Hou Ye acts upright in the court, and he has read many of his colleagues' papers. On weekdays, those who can't even do kung fu on the surface, there are Zuo Xiang and Liang Taifu. When the old slave took Hou Ye down to the court, he saw him twice. People speak harsh words to Lord Hou. It's just that... besides these two, Lord Hou also needs to be careful of His Highness King Zhao and King Yu, and most importantly... Lord Bo Juebo."

Xie Yindun felt a headache, how many enemies he had made in the court!

After a long pause, he seized the last sliver of luck, "Then... what about the senior officials who have made friends with me?"

After listening to this question, Qin De was silent for a long time, and then forced a smile in Xie Yin's increasingly desperate eyes, "Your Majesty is used to being alone, and you don't usually make friends with your colleagues. Among the generals, there are often those who admire the old Marquis Xie." Well, Lord Hou rarely dealt with them, but several generals greeted Lord Hou. When the more disciplined General returned to Beijing last year, he sent someone to invite Lord Hou to visit the General's Mansion, but Lord Hou refused at that time."

Xie Yin pulled the corner of his mouth and showed an ugly smile, which meant that, except for the military generals who guarded the border all the year round and rarely saw each other... no one wanted to see Xie Yin at all...

The heart is desolate.

Qin De was about to say something when someone came from outside to report that His Royal Highness King Yu had sent the Imperial Physician Wang to see Lord Xie Hou.

Xie Yinzheng was having a headache about how to save his life, how could he have the time to deal with other things, thinking that everyone has offended everyone anyway, and this time is not too bad, so he asked his servants to refuse.

Unexpectedly, the servant of the King of Yu followed in the second time, bowed respectfully, his words were extremely polite, and he said all the words "Hou Ye is working hard for the country, worrying about working hard and getting sick from overwork", thank you Yin for listening He couldn't help but chuckle, this King Yu is really interesting, he can really make people upset.

Hearing the laughter, the boy looked up in surprise, Xie Yin didn't wear a mask, so the boy hurriedly lowered his head again.

Xie Yin couldn't refuse any more, so he had to ask someone to let Imperial Physician Wang in, and move to the front flower hall for the imperial physician to diagnose.

Perhaps Xie's treacherous officials had accumulated a lot of prestige and did many evils on a daily basis, so the imperial doctor Wang only dared to take a quick glance at Xie Yin's face before lowering his head to feel his pulse, and never raised his head again.

Physician Wang frowned, took his pulse again carefully, and Fang asked cautiously, "I wonder if my lord feels pain between the chest and abdomen?"

Xie Yin thought for a while, "I felt some pain when I got up this morning, but I don't feel much now."

Physician Wang said, "During the midwinter season, adults should be careful about what they eat. The next official will draw up a prescription to detoxify and cleanse the intestines. Take it twice a day for three days."

After Wang Taiji finished speaking, he wrote a prescription on the pen and paper prepared by Qin De, and Xie Yin ordered someone to give him and the servant a reward, and then they sent it out.

So after the imperial doctor stepped out of the gate of the Hou's mansion that day, all the officials in the capital and the princes got the bad news that "that little bastard is indeed not dead".

Unexpectedly, not an hour after sending the imperial physician away, the palace sent another person.

This time, it was someone sent by the emperor, who gave a lot of supplements, and the eunuch who gave the gift smiled slickly, "Since Mr. Xie is fine, Your Majesty is at ease."

So Xie Yin finally understood, and he couldn't go to court tomorrow.

It is very tiring to be a traitor.

The Hou Mansion was really rich, so Xie Yin asked Qin De to take out the ledger at night, counting the money and feeling agitated, feeling that as long as he successfully resigns from the office and saves his life and money, everything is hopeful.

But this Xie Yin's health is really not good, much weaker than his original one, he felt cold after sitting in the flower hall wrapped in fox fur for a while, so he could only nest in the room where the ground dragon was burned.

Xie Yin was an orphan before his death, living off the property left by his ancestors.On weekdays, I like to eat melon seeds and read story books. The chivalrous man's story book has a youthful heart ready to move, and he has studied with an old Taoist priest for several years.

I didn't learn anything from serious kung fu, but a few sets of mental methods can strengthen my body.Now it comes in handy.

Xie Yin drank the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician, and practiced the mental method twice. He felt a burst of sweat all over his body, and fell asleep comfortably after taking a bath.

It's just that he doesn't know, all the servants are looking at each other outside, when did Hou Ye go to bed so early... Hou Ye didn't read a book today... Why didn't Hou Ye order people to do bad things... This is still us Master Hou?

The cold night was like ink, and when the whole capital fell into silence, no one noticed the flames that lit up the sky in the northwest.

Xie Yin fell asleep until the cock crowed, thinking he was in his hometown in the south of the Yangtze River. He woke up suddenly when he saw the heavy tent. He jumped out of bed and kicked on his shoes. Two young men came in with water and court clothes.

After Xie Yin let them clean up, he looked at the map of the imperial city that Qin De had ordered yesterday to make sure that he would not go to the wrong place.

Although Xie Yin has always been bold, but when the truth came, he was still uneasy, and asked Lin Mo, who was dedicated to serving the pen and ink in the study, to bring a few notebooks to hold his feet temporarily.

There are a few notebooks about the salt smuggling case, the misappropriation of disaster relief funds, etc., and the closing documents of the Dali Temple case. Fortunately, Xie Yin has a good memory.I memorized all the recent events, and finally got a score.

Before leaving, Xie Yin put on the mask, but finally felt too boring and uncomfortable, so he put it down.Anyway, for a man, his appearance is not the most important thing.

On the contrary, the servants were very surprised, Qin De asked carefully and stopped talking.

Qin De was getting old, and usually rarely sent Xie Yin to court in person, but after Xie Yin fell ill this time, he couldn't remember clearly, so Qin De followed the carriage and sent Xie Yin to the gate of the imperial city.

At this time, the sky had just turned white, and there was still snow in the city. Only the center of the road was cleared by the government to prevent passers-by from slipping and falling.Some hawkers have opened their stalls, and the aroma of small wontons is wafting in the cold air.

The capital is indeed at the foot of the emperor, with row upon row of high-rise buildings, prosperous and rich.If the shops are open after the next day, you can have a good time shopping.

Xie Yin let out a sigh of relief and put down the curtain, only for a while already felt the air-conditioning go straight to the bones.He held the gilt sleeve stove in his arms tightly, feeling that the inventor of this thing is really meritorious.

Xie Yin came early and was the first to enter the city gate.

This was the first time he had seen the real imperial palace after listening to the rumors in the south of the Yangtze River for so many years. The golden roof was covered with snow, the corridors were carved with beams and painted buildings, and the eaves went straight to the sky.

In the huge palace, the guards were orderly and solemn. Occasionally, there were a few rows of eunuchs rushing by, but there was no sound of anyone.Even the little sparrows foraging in the snow dare not chirp.

If it is said that before entering the imperial city, Xie Yin relied on the spirit of a countryman who went to the city to see the world and did not give up and ran away secretly with money, then now standing in this quiet place, he began to think seriously about running away and not being caught. Chances of being caught...
