Chapter 122
Cheng Hui felt that it should not be too difficult to convince Qi Shengwen. At the beginning, Qi Shengwen convinced her to accompany Li Youde to the frontier. Although he thought so much about her at the time, she felt a little inexplicable, but the result was good. He was a person with great ambitions. , And what she said is not purely from the perspective of repaying kindness.
Originally, bad guys in a system cannot be forbidden, especially in the eunuch system, because the eunuchs are physically disabled, which leads to a greater proportion of mentally disabled people, but the eunuchs are also the emperor’s close ministers. Naturally, the emperor has an advantage. Trust them more than courtiers-at least now this emperor is so. If Li Youde is taken down, his position will definitely be topped. Ministers can't carry forward their spirits and castrate themselves into the palace, right? Therefore, instead of waiting for someone who doesn't know how to go to the stage, it is better to leave Li Youde, at least Li Youde still has her with her, and can say a few words if necessary.
"Prince Qi, since you were able to pin your hopes on me before, now I want to know more clearly how much convenience I can bring to you in the future?" Cheng Hui said, "I believe that if you consider carefully, you will definitely agree. my words."
Qi Shengwen was really moved by what Cheng Hui said. It is indeed better to leave Eunuch Li with another person. At least they will be opposed to Eunuch Li in the future, and they will know who can hope to solve the problem. He is not a pedantic person who is jealous and hateful. Sometimes he wants to get things done, but he can't go straight.
"Ms. Chen really makes some sense." Qi Shengwen said, "I just didn't expect Ms. Chen to do this for Eunuch Li."
"Yes." Cheng Hui said, "I will treat whoever treats me well."
Qi Shengwen touched his nose, always feeling that Miss Chen's words were a bit ironic to him. Fortunately, he was thick-skinned enough that he didn't hear anything, and smiled: "I will think of a solution for Miss Chen in this matter, but I can't guarantee..."
"Prince Qi, you are wrong. You are thinking of a solution for your own future." Cheng Hui said, "For this, you should do your best."
Qi Shengwen laughed: "Ms. Chen really refuses to suffer at a loss."
"I'm telling the truth." Cheng Hui said, "Then I will leave. If Mr. Qi makes any progress, please inform Li Residence on Changfu Street." Li Residence was sealed, fortunately, Li Residence The title deeds are in Cheng Hui's hands, so it's fine.
Qi Shengwen responded and sent Cheng Hui out of the yard.
Cheng Hui breathed a sigh of relief when he got into the carriage. Qi Shengwen himself may not have much energy, but he has a very good relationship with Lang Yu, who was the former Secretary of the War Department and now promoted to Shangshu of War Department. Lang Yu's network Then spread out, it must affect some people. Lang Yu had a rift with Li Youde, but she believed that Qi Shengwen would persuade Lang Yu, after all, she also proved her worth in the frontier.
On the second day, Cheng Hui continued to guard at Zheng Mansion, but this time, she did not wait for a whole day, but at noon, someone came out and said, Madam Zheng invited Ms. Chen to Longsheng Restaurant for a while.
Cheng Hui was overjoyed and asked Little Six to drive to Longsheng Restaurant. There was a maid waiting at the entrance of the restaurant. When she met Cheng Hui, she came up and led her to the private room.
Madam Zheng was waiting for Cheng Hui. When she met Cheng Hui, she apologized: "Ms. Chen has been tired these few days."
Cheng Hui smiled and said, "It's not in the way, it should be."
She seemed to feel a little hard to say, Madam Zheng hesitated for a while before she said: "Miss Chen, you also know that my master is in an embarrassing position now, and he is also afraid that you will not be able to say it after entering the house, so he has to avoid suspicion."
Cheng Hui's heart moved: "Mrs. Zheng, who led me to meet here, did Master Zheng mean?"
Madam Zheng was embarrassed: "I meant it."
In other words, Zheng Yong is afraid that he is unwilling to help.
Cheng Hui said: "Mrs. Zheng, Hui Niang, please, intercede for me in front of Master Zheng and let Eunuch Li go."
Cheng Hui didn't mention Zheng Rongrong's original incident. Madam Zheng was willing to see her because of the face of the incident. If she always mentioned it, it would make Madam Zheng embarrassed and even uncomfortable. Everyone knows it well.
"Oh, this is really..." Madam Zheng looked embarrassed. She respected her master as a guest, and she was able to talk about many things, but she didn't understand this kind of court affairs, so she couldn't say anything casually. .
"Madam Zheng, I have learned from the people close to the emperor that the emperor does not really want to deal with Eunuch Li. As long as Master Zheng releases Eunuch Li, the emperor will not blame it." Cheng Hui said, "Please Tell Master Zheng for me...If Eunuch Li steps down, Eunuch Wang will have more power, and Eunuch Wang is not as easy to talk as Eunuch Li."
Madam Zheng gave a long sigh, looked at Cheng Hui and said earnestly: "Miss Chen, why are you doing this? Eunuch Li is losing power now. Isn't it a good time for you to go home? I don't understand why you want to do this. "
Cheng Hui was taken aback. Faced with Madam Zheng’s confusion, she naturally wanted to change her rhetoric. She lowered her head and said in a warm voice: "Mrs. Zheng, they all say that women have to be the same. Since I have followed Eunuch Li, it is him. How can you think of leaving him when he loses power?"
"Oh, you...you kid, it's true that Eunuch Li is so powerful, but he...but he's not a real man!" Madam Cheng puzzled, "The so-called end is to be right. Whose."
"Then the term'finish from one end' is meaningless." Cheng Hui said, "Besides, Eunuch Li is pretty good to me. I'm afraid it will be impossible to find someone better than him to me in the future. "
"How could it be? We all know your character, good looks, and there will be many people who come to ask for relatives." Madam Zheng persuaded her without giving up.
Cheng Hui's expression is a little weird. She is a former eunuch. How could there be many people asking for marriage? Who can bear this humiliation... If she wasn't a transgressor, maybe she couldn't bear it either. Wasn't the original body committed suicide for it?
"Ms. Zheng is absurdly praised, but I have already identified Eunuch Li." Cheng Hui said.
Seeing Cheng Hui's firm attitude, Madam Zheng knew she couldn't persuade her, so she could only sigh in her heart.
"Mother, I want to help Girl Chen." The Yajian door was suddenly opened, Zheng Rongrong walked in, and then it was Princess Shu Ning who followed.
Madam Zheng looked at the two in surprise.
"Auntie, I also want to help Hui Niang!" As soon as the Shu Ning came over, she hugged Madam Zheng's arm and winked at Cheng Hui by the way.
Cheng Hui looked at the two who suddenly appeared with joy, and new hope surged in his chest.
Madam Zheng didn't expect the two to come over, and she was surprised: "Why are you here? How did you know that I invited Ms. Chen to come here? Forget it... It's a big deal, not just a few words from your little girl. of."
"Aunt Hui Niang is begging us, how can we not help?" Princess Shu Ning pursed his lips, "We are not ungrateful people." She naturally knew about Zheng Rongrong.
"That's not what it says." Madam Zheng sighed.
Zheng Rongrong said: "Mother, you can just talk to Dad." She paused and then said again, "Dad is not a selfless person with iron face. If he can let others go, why can't he let Eunuch Li go?"
"Rongrong, what are you talking about!" Madam Zheng gave Cheng Hui a little embarrassed, and hurriedly scolded her daughter. Although Princess Shu Ning is her niece, her father is King Qing after all. She is not good at saying Princess Shu Ning, so she has to train her daughter.
"Mother, my daughter is telling the truth." Zheng Rongrong said, "Father is the presiding judge. Whether Eunuch Li is guilty or not, isn't it the father who has the final say? Since the emperor doesn't want to convict Eunuch Li, why bother with the emperor. Happy?"
"How can your father be so powerful? He is the presiding judge, and the people in the procuratorate are watching. Dali Temple will also look at his closing file." After all, Mrs. Zheng is the wife of the Ministry of Justice, and some procedures are still very difficult. clearly.
Princess Shu Ning hurriedly said, "Auntie, go and persuade my uncle! I will also persuade my father! My father is King Qing, and Dali monastery inspectors, this point of face should be given to my father. !"
"You...you are fooling around!" Madam Zheng sighed, shaking her head.
"Ms. Zheng, Eunuch Li will stay in his position. It is indeed better than changing someone to the stage." Cheng Hui is backed by Zheng Rongrong and Shu Ning. He is more confident and smiles playfully. "At least there is still Eunuch Li behind. It’s me. In the future, Master Zheng or other adults will see Eunuch Li not pleasing to your eyes. You can come and tell me, I will let Eunuch Li change!"
Although Madam Zheng hasn't been persuaded by a few people, she couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Eunuch Li...can listen to you?"
"Yes." Cheng Hui believes, "Just like the snow disaster at the beginning of this year, didn't the court allocate silver for disaster relief? I said the people who suffered from the snow disaster are very pitiful. I hope that the relief silver can be safely in the hands of the victims, and the father-in-law will respond."
Although she really didn't know the specific result, but...At this time, she would naturally say it as a merit. In this way, Madam Zheng can help her blow the pillow breeze well.
"Auntie, did you hear that? Just go to your uncle and help Hui Niang say something nice!" Shu Ning said.
Zheng Rongrong also said: "Mother, this is also a good thing for Dad. One more friend is better than one more enemy."
Madam Zheng looked at this and that, and finally sighed: "Okay, I'll talk to the master when I go back!"
Cheng Hui's eyes lit up, and he immediately said gratefully: "Thank you Madam Zheng!"
Prison of the Criminal Ministry.
The air was filled with unpleasant odors that seemed to be a mixture of feces, urine and sweat. The light from the small window at the height was not enough to illuminate the entire area, and it was extremely dim.
A footstep sounded and gradually approached a cell in the corner, and in that cell, a person was lying with his back facing the cell door. Compared to other cells, this cell is significantly cleaner.
The footsteps stopped outside the cell, and the tall man whispered: "Eunuch Li."
The person in the cell slowly sat up and looked out. It took a while to recognize the person, and said in surprise, "General Gong?"
The other party was the Senator Gong who went to the frontier to fight together. Among the crowd, he respected Li Youde, so Li Youde had a good impression of him.
General Gong Shen smiled slightly: "I didn't expect Eunuch Li to remember Gong Mou, it's an honor."
At this time, Li Youde didn't know whether the opponent was a friend or an enemy, so he narrowed his eyes and said nothing. He was called for interrogation in the past few days, but no one sentenced him, his condition was OK, but the days of detention made him exhausted physically and mentally. Now his hair is loose, his clothes are messed up, and his spirit is very high. It is malaise. It is naturally impossible for him to admit those charges, but being in jail for several days is a very serious mental torture for him. He really doesn't know how long he can hold on. Maybe the next time he will be tortured, he will recognize everything.
General Gong Shen was standing in front of the cell, looking condescendingly at Li Youde, his expression did not seem to be a show of power, but he didn't mean to be humble.
"Father-in-law, you can't give up hope, there are always people running for you outside." General Gong said.
Li Youde was taken aback, then stood up and rushed to the door of the cell, surprised and delighted: "Who is it? What did the emperor say?"
Gong Shen general took a step back, smiling a little strangely: "The emperor doesn't know about this for the time being... The man who ran for the father-in-law, the father-in-law may not have thought of it, it is Chen Hui Niang Chen."
Li Youde's expression froze, frowning tightly: "Who are you talking about?"
"Miss Chen." Shen Jiang said with a smile, "Eunuch Li, Miss Chen has found a lot of people. She is such an ordinary woman, and she has such courage. I heard that she has been there for the past few days. Master Zheng was guarding in front of the mansion, but Master Zheng refused to see her. Tsk tsk, a beautiful girl who has been in the wind and sun for several days, Master Zheng is really cruel."
Li Youde was shocked as he listened to General Gong's words about things he didn't know, but he couldn't speak for a long time.
He knew that his arrangement had succeeded, and Hui Niang was sent out by him safely, but he never expected that she would not hide well, and she would behave around!
Why is she so stupid!
Yes, he didn't want to die, he was expecting the emperor to say a word to let him go, or someone to save him, but he never thought that it would be her. Hui Niang is just an ordinary boudoir girl, what can she do! Plead for her so-called "kindness" to Master Zheng? But there is still someone on top of Zheng Yong, the presiding judge, what good is she begging for? Moreover, it is impossible for Zheng Yong to let him go because of this little "kindness"! She is so swagger, it will attract the attention of his political opponents, what if, what if something happens to her because of this? He is now in jail and cannot protect himself. How can he protect her? !
What a stupid woman!
"Gong Shenjiang, I, Li Youde, have always been unwilling to ask for help, but today I beg you to bring a message to Miss Hui...Chen so that she can stop busying her life." Li Youde looked at Gong Shenjiang with his eyes on him. Without knowing it, she became red, "Let her leave the capital, the farther the better!"
