Chapter 320 Huangfu Rou

On the street outside the inn, Huangfu Rou and Shen Qing walked side by side.

After being separated from the county magistrate Dou Wenxi and the county eunuch Yan Xushou, Huangfu Rou finally couldn't control the worries in her heart and whispered to Shen Qing: "You were a little impulsive just now. In fact, there is no need to say those words, it will not be helpful to you."

There was a hint of reproach in her tone, but there was also a hint of unnoticeable concern hidden in it.

Shen Qing did this intentionally, but he could only keep these things in his heart. He could not tell anyone, otherwise it would definitely cause trouble for himself.

Huangfurou naturally didn't know the reason.

Shen Qing smiled bitterly and said, "I'm just telling the truth. I didn't expect Cui Cui's reaction to be so violent."

The breeze blew through Huangfurou's hair. She shook her head slightly, sighed and said, "You are too honest. In this complex and ever-changing world and court, being too honest often hurts others and yourself."

Hearing the word "honest", Shen Qing almost burst into laughter.

If I remember correctly, Huangfu Rouke was always present when he killed several old antiques from the Zhou family and the two monsters.

No matter how you think about it, he has nothing to do with the word "honest".

Not to mention, it was really him who killed Xue Yan, and he did it with the help of Huangfu's family martial arts.

I really don’t know why Huangfurou, who is usually clear-minded, seems a little brainless at this time.

Shen Qing didn't think about any unnecessary explanations. He was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Sir Huangfu is right, it was my lack of consideration."

Seeing Shen Qing's obedience, Huangfu Rou felt a little proud for some reason.

She then thought deeply: "In this matter, the Imperial Envoy and the others have focused on Dou Wenxi and Yan Xushou, so let them deal with it and let us not get too involved. In my opinion, they are not of the same mind. Maybe this matter will turn into a mess in the end.”

"I see."

"Um."

The two continued to walk side by side on Yongzhou Street, silent all the way.

…

Inside Huangfu's mansion.

It was dark, but the main hall was still brightly lit.

Huangfu Rou, who had been busy all day, returned home from the Military and Horse Office.

She gently opened the door, and a warm and familiar breath hit her face.

Suddenly, she frowned slightly and saw servants coming in and out of the main hall of her home, and using whale oil candles that were rarely used on weekdays. She was secretly surprised, how could there be visitors at home?

When he entered the main hall, he saw his father, Huangfu Chuang, sitting at attention. Next to him was a middle-aged man in a gorgeous official uniform, Cui Jin, the chamberlain supervisor.

Cui Jin's face was solemn with a hint of smile, obviously he had something important to discuss.

"Daughter, you are back." Huangfu Chuang saw his daughter returning, with a hint of imperceptible relief in his tone.

Huangfu Rou nodded, his eyes lingered on Cui Jin for a moment, and he asked doubtfully: "Eunuch Cui came to visit late at night, but what is the important matter?"

Cui Jin smiled slightly, stood up, glanced at Huangfu Rou up and down and said, "Miss Huangfu, Your Majesty has a decree to send you to Kyoto in the near future, and enter the Shanhai Department to collect the world's wisdom for Your Majesty."

Huangfu Rou was shocked when he heard this.

She didn't want to know too much about Shanhaisi.

Shanhaisi is in charge of the royal arsenal, has insight into intelligence, and is also responsible for collecting military aircraft for His Majesty. His predecessor has a close relationship with their imperial family.

When Huangfu Chuang saw this, he patted his daughter's shoulder gently to signal her to calm down. Then he turned to Cui Jin and said, "Eunuch Cui, this matter is not trivial. Can we father and daughter discuss it for a while?"

Cui Jin smiled and nodded: "Of course, Mr. Huangfu, please do."

Huangfu Rou and his father stepped aside and started talking in low voices.

"Dad, my Huangfu family has been away from the temple for some years, and I know nothing about the things in the temple. At this time, His Majesty suddenly summoned us to Beijing, my daughter..." Huangfu Rou said with a bit of hesitation, but there was no thought in his heart. end.

Huangfu Chuang sighed and looked deeply: "Daughter, my father knows what you mean. But the sunset of Huangfu's family is now over, and the old people in the court are also dying day by day. This opportunity is really important to us now. If With this opportunity, you may be able to revitalize your family. Furthermore, you have been extremely intelligent since you were young and have abilities that are different from ordinary people. It may not be a bad thing to join the Shan Hai Division."

Huangfu Rou was silent for a moment, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

Indeed, the Huangfu family has declined in recent years. If they can take this opportunity to turn around, it will undoubtedly be an excellent opportunity for the Huangfu family.

And deep down in her heart, she also wants to climb up, and is not willing to stop here and be limited to a mere county.

If she had the opportunity to enter the royal arsenal, or get support from some of the Ji family's military aircraft, her cultivation might be able to go further.

"Father, I understand." After some hesitation, Huangfu Rou finally nodded and his eyes became firm.

The two of them returned to Cui Jin. Huangfu Chuang cupped his hands and said, "Eunuch Cui, my father and daughter have reached an agreement. We are willing to comply with His Majesty's will and let my daughter join the Shanhai Division."

Hearing this, Cui Jin showed a satisfied smile on his face: "Okay, Mr. Huangfu understands the righteousness, and your majesty will definitely be pleased with you. Miss Huangfu, when the matter in Yongzhou is over in a few days, you can follow me into the palace to meet your majesty." Bar."

Huangfu Rou bowed slightly: "Okay."

As the night got darker, Cui Jin didn't stay too long and left directly.

Huangfurou looked at his father's old face and found that he was staring ahead with deep eyes, as if he was thinking about something, with mixed feelings in his heart.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only fall silent again.

Time passed day by day, and a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Dou Wenxi and Yan Xushou investigated all the way, and found out Xue Yan's activities in Yongzhou City one by one, and even found out that he secretly killed the vendors.

The only thing they couldn't find out was who killed Xue Yan.

If you really want to say it, it is that Shen Qing is very suspected of murder, but he took the initiative to cooperate with the communication and investigation, and there is no evidence.

In addition, his prestige in Yongzhou, and he belongs to the same camp as Dou Wenxi and Yan Xushou.

Dou Wenxi and Yan Xushou dared not say this anyway, and they had to bite the bullet and continue to investigate.

While investigating, they dragged it on, and gradually dragged it to the time when Shi Wenbo and others were going to return to Beijing to report.

With the unremitting efforts of the two of them, Xue Yan's death was like a stone of medium size falling into the lake, which set off waves, but eventually returned to calm.

The Xue family in Beijing was under the deliberate control of Shi Wenbo and others. They only learned about Xue Yan's death until now, and just received Xue Yan's body.

The Xue family was shaken.

Xue Bai, who learned the news, did not feel sad at all. Instead, he was very happy because he had lost a strong competitor. He directly told Zhou Su the news.

Zhou Su was stunned.

He almost instinctively said: "Master, it's Shen Qing. This matter must be related to Shen Qing."
