Chapter 579 The Yun Family
Several pairs of eyes fell on his face, with different expressions.
Xuanyuan Yao frowned slightly, then looked at him thoughtfully and said nothing.
"Why are you so anxious?" Nan Xi raised her lips with a hint of a smile, "I just want to say that Jiajia's daughter is not in the public eye very often. You and Prince Yao usually come into contact with many outstanding men. Let's see if there are any suitable ones. You can give me some advice.”
Xuanyuan Yao secretly cursed a bitch fox. He couldn't hold his breath anymore. Where had his usual poise, depth and energy gone?
"Xiao Jin has someone he likes? I wonder who it is?" The eldest princess looked at him with a playful expression, "But which girl in the imperial capital is talented and beautiful? I should know her."
"The eldest princess knows him." Xie Jin's voice was calm, "But he is not a girl with both talent and beauty. It should be said that he is a girl with both civil and military skills."
Xuanyuan Yao's face changed slightly.
This damn fox! What nonsense are you talking about?
He glanced quickly at Nan Xi and Rong Yu, then looked away as if being burned by fire, his heart beating like thunder.
Rong Yu's expression was calm, with no fluctuations in mood or anger.
Nan Xi's expression was gentle, but she also looked enigmatic, which made people feel even more unsure.
"I will pay attention." Xie Jin narrowed his eyes and said before the eldest princess continued to ask, "If there is a suitable young talent, I will definitely match him with Miss Lin."
Lin Jia looked at him without saying a word, feeling that this handsome young man seemed a little uncomfortable. With his pale face and frowning from time to time, he must be enduring some discomfort.
But she didn't say anything. She smiled faintly when she heard the words: "Actually, I'm not in a hurry. Marriage is about fate, but I still want to thank you, sir."
Xie Jin stood with his eyebrows lowered and his thin lips pursed slightly. He noticed the playful or calm eyes on the table, and couldn't help but think, thinking he wanted to be so impulsive?
If the stool wasn't so hard that he couldn't sit on it, he could have calmed down.
"Sit down." Nan Xi said gently, "Don't be too formal."
Xie Jin is really not a prude.
He just took this opportunity to stand up slowly, because his butt hurt too much.
But can this reason be given?
If he really dares to say it, the Lord will allow him to sit on the stool for five hours and feel the ecstasy.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xie Jin took a deep breath and slowly sat down.
I don't know if they noticed his physical discomfort and were taking care of his face, or if they really didn't have anything else important to say next, so they had a peaceful meal.
Xie Jin survived until the end of lunch.
After the meal, Her Majesty the Queen and the eldest princess stayed in the Dazheng Palace to take care of Hao'er. Rong Yu ordered Xie Jin and Xuanyuan Yao to follow him to the imperial study to discuss matters.
Hearing the words "Royal Study Room", Xie Jin's spine tensed subconsciously.
It's really not a pleasant place to be.
He thought again and again, and even turned to Xuanyuan Yao to confirm: In the past three days, I have not made any unforgivable mistakes, right?
Xuanyuan Yao also frowned slightly and shook his head slowly: You didn't make a mistake, don't be nervous.
It's not that Xie Jin is sensitive, but that what Rong Yu said three days ago is still echoing in his ears. From now on, the place of discussion will be moved to Qinzheng Hall. This royal study is reserved for you two. The cane can be soaked at any time...
Only three days have passed, and I can't forget it even if I want to.
Rong Yu didn't pay attention to the eye contact between the two people behind him. He walked into the imperial study, took a file from the imperial desk and threw it to Xie Jin: "You two go to Shangning to investigate the Yun family."
Xie Jin took the file, his expression changed to a deep expression in a moment, his eyes fell on the file, his delicate eyebrows were filled with deep thought: "The Yun family and the Su family seem to be related by marriage."
Su family?
Xuanyuan Yao frowned: "Su Ce, Minister of Household Affairs?"
When it comes to the Ministry of Household Affairs, most people think of corruption. It is obviously unrealistic to say how incorruptible an official in charge of the treasury is. However, when the water is clear, there will be no fish. What the king needs is not an honest official who has a lot of money, but an honest official who has a lot of money. A capable minister who can run errands well and has a bit of desire.
A capable minister also needs to eat, drink, have sex, deal with favors, and support his family, so he should be greedy appropriately. As long as it does not exceed the bottom line and his appetite is not too big, most kings will turn a blind eye.
However, there are rules for being greedy for ink. If the appetite is too big, the ambition is ambitious, and the degree of corruption is beyond the bottom line that the king can tolerate, involving collusion between officials and businessmen, and even seriously damaging the interests of the people and affecting the stability of the country, then it is not a matter of turning a blind eye. It's a matter of closing one eye.
Xie Jin's mind was spinning fast. His master said that he was investigating the Yun clan, so it was obviously not groundless, nor was he just being idle. Rather, it was the Yun clan who had done something they shouldn't have done -
In other words, the Yun family and the Su family need to be rectified.
"I will give you manpower to investigate this matter secretly. There is no need to alert others." Rong Yu said in a calm tone, "I want conclusive evidence."
Xie Jin accepted the order: "Yes."
"The Yun family is quite powerful. The head of the Yun family is in Shang Ning's hands and eyes. After you two go there, be patient. Don't be too anxious. Check it slowly. I will give you enough time." Rong Yu gave him You can use the personal token token, "There is only one thing I will remember."
His eyes fell on the two of them, and Rong Yu said in a cold voice: "The king asked you to investigate the case, not to let you go deep into danger, and if you dare to do anything to put yourself in danger, don't blame me for stripping you when you come back. Your skin."
Although his voice was cold, it was so cold that Xie Jin felt his arm begin to hurt again.
But as if by miracle, a warm feeling slowly filled his heart.
He realized that this was an opportunity for Rong Yu to give him experience, with no time limit, just to prevent him from taking risks. As long as they caught the big fish of Yun, he and Xuanyuan Yao would have a firm foothold in the court.
Even if the new nobles in the court had achievements, they could not go far just by relying on the emperor's favor, and could not convince people. Only political achievements were the most solid and powerful evidence.
Xie Jin knelt on one knee and bowed his head to accept the order: "I will obey the order of the Lord. After arriving in Shangning, I will be careful and cautious, and dare not be negligent and willful."
Xuanyuan Yao pursed his lips, with some hidden worries in his heart: "The Yun family has deep roots, and the background of the Su family extends to Shangning. It is not something that ordinary people can pry open. My Lord, the two of us, Ajin and I-"
"Did the king say that the power in your hands cannot be used?" Rong Yu said in a faint voice, "Just don't put yourself in danger. No matter what other methods you use, the king will not interfere."
Xuanyuan Yao was silent. The power in their hands?
To be honest, his father is far away in Huainan, and his power cannot reach Shangning at all. He only has 18 guards under his command, unless Xie Jin has someone available.
Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Yao turned his head and looked at Xie Jin, thinking that Ah Jin should be confident, otherwise he would not dare to take on such a heavy task.
