The wife is the king of the palace

Chapter 20 Don't come here.

Jin Qi only felt a loud buzzing in his head, as if something was burning, burning his brain hot.

He shivered slightly reflexively, and the scalding temperature instantly enveloped his whole body with this movement.For a moment, Jin Qi wondered if his body was on fire, that's why he was so hot and painful.

Jin Qi's eyes widened, his heart beating like a drum, and he looked in disbelief at the person who dared to openly talk nonsense in this court!He knew that this person was bold, but when did this person become so open-mouthed?

Looking at Lin Xu again, he still had that solemn and indifferent appearance, not at all like someone who just uttered such shameless words.

Sensing that Jin Qi was looking at him, Lin Xu raised his head and looked at him. The moment his eyes met, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up, and his mood became better and better.

Jin Qi's breath was stagnant, don't look away at the beginning, but the red tide filled his face, making his majestic eyes gradually covered with a thin layer of water vapor.

"There are many capable people in my Dayu, I wonder who the Prime Minister wants?" Wan Yu was puzzled, the authority given to Lin Xu by the emperor was already large enough, if it was just an ordinary person, he didn't need to mention it in the early court.

At the same time, Wan Yu glanced worriedly at Jin Qi on the dragon chair. He always felt that Jin Qi was a little strange today, and the flushed face seemed to be seriously ill.

After Wan Yu's words fell, other people on the side also looked at Lin Xu suspiciously. Everyone had been paying close attention to the tax collection, but Lin Xu had remained silent. Now that he suddenly said that he was an important person, everyone was naturally curious.

"I think Wan Shangshu is good." Lin Xudao, and at the end he didn't forget to pull Su Fanyi, "There is also Su Shangshu. In the past, tax evasion had to be checked and collected from new accounts. Only one minister was afraid of delaying the grace of the emperor."

As soon as Lin Xu said this, the atmosphere in the Golden Luan Hall changed instantly. After Wan Yu and Su Fanyi, who had completely ignored each other, looked at each other, they immediately became furious and hated each other.

Before anyone else could speak, the two started arguing with each other.

All the officials in the court have different thoughts, some persuasion and some adding fuel to the fire, all of them are calculating for their own side, if they can get close to Lin Xu, Lin Xu's movements will be easy to control.

"You want them both with me?" In the confusion, Jin Qi's voice suddenly rose.

The atmosphere in Chaozhong was hot, but Jin Qi, who was originally tense, was almost suffocated by his own breath.

Seeing that the people in the court didn't seem to understand Lin Xu's meaning at all, he realized later that the words had another meaning in other people's ears. No wonder Lin Xu dared to be so bold.

Knowing that he was being teased, Jin Qi turned his gaze coldly, and looked at Lin Xu with murderous intent, but the moment he touched Lin Xu's gaze, his eyes moved away in a panic uncontrollably.

"The two ministers are young, strong and capable people. Naturally, what I want is them, or is it someone who the emperor thinks I want?" Lin Xu still kept his unhurried tone, but his scorching gaze had already overwhelmed him. Jin Qi looked at it from top to bottom.

Lin Xu's gaze was hot and presumptuous, just like yesterday, like a scorching tongue of fire, licking Jin Qi's whole body clean.

Jin Qi's face had already turned into a pig's liver, he opened his mouth to say something to win back, but embarrassment flooded his cheeks.Seeing that Lin Xu's eyes fell on his waist and abdomen, he even took a deep breath to fold his abdomen.

Jin Qi had goosebumps all over his body, but the itchy and numb feeling was extremely refreshing and excruciating, making him restless.

"I agree!" Jin Qi gritted his teeth and said almost word for word.

"Your Majesty..." Wan Yu was still a little unwilling to get involved.

"Yes, I will do my best to help." Su Fanyi smiled and agreed immediately.

Although this matter is not directly related to the household department, it can also gain insight into the household department from it. This is a great opportunity, how can he miss it?

Su Fanyi agreed, Wan Yu naturally couldn't push it any further, so he changed his words immediately.

When this matter was settled, Jin Qi saw that there was nothing wrong with the court, so he waved his hand to make everyone retreat.

As soon as the words fell, Jin Qi left as if fleeing, his back in a panic.

Jin Qi was in a hurry, and many people in the court were extremely puzzled, but soon everyone's attention was focused on business and tax matters.They didn't dare to do anything on Lin Xu's side, but they would not let Wan Yu and Su Fanyi go.

Apart from Wan Yu and Su Fanyi, everyone also got the news yesterday that Lin Xu's master came to Beijing and is currently living in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After waiting for Lin Xu not to return for a long time yesterday, many people have already set their minds on him.It doesn't make sense to Lin Xu, but if his master were to tell it, the matter would probably be much simpler.

After making up his mind, someone bribed the servants of the prime minister's mansion after the early court, and they learned of Master Lin Xu's whereabouts and went to look for it.

Sure enough, compared to Lin Xulai, his master is much easier to talk about, as long as he has money, he can talk about anything.After the news spread, everyone who had just waited and watched all rushed forward.

As soon as this incident happened, Beijing and China were lively for several days.Not to mention those who live nearby, even many merchants from far away also came here one after another after hearing the news, and prepared generous gifts, just to see each other.

The slightly cool sunshine in early summer was gradually replaced by the heat of midsummer, but the temperature was completely different in only five or six days before and after, and it was so hot that people panicked.

In the evening, the scale-like clouds were dyed orange red by the setting sun, and Lin Xu entered the palace when the sky was getting dark.

In the courtyard, Jin Qi, who was idly feeding the fish, heard the eunuch report to Lin Xu to see him, and he stood up shivering as if he was electrocuted, who was originally at ease.

"Why is he here?" Jin Qi put down the fish food in his hands in a panic.

"I don't know, but the prime minister is holding a brocade box in his hand."

"Brilliant box?" Jin Qi was a little relieved when he heard that Lin Xu had something to do, but the panic that had gradually calmed down in the past few days filled his heart.

Lin Xu is really bold and presumptuous, and it is very irritating. He neither explained nor said much about the incident before and after, but he was at ease. On the contrary, he has been restless these days.

"emperor?"

"Let him in." Jin Qi took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, adjusted his appearance, and secretly took a photo of the pool at the end.

After tidying himself up, he became a little afraid and guilty, and quickly raised his head to stop the person who was about to go out to deliver a message, "Wait a minute, call the person to the imperial study."

"Yes."

When Lin Xu came to the imperial study room, he saw the imperial table that had been moved far forward at a glance.And the emperor of Dayu, the owner of the imperial study, is sitting at a position far away from the back of the table at this moment.

"What's the matter with Aiqing?" Jin Qi finally sat down after choosing several positions with a calm face, but his heart began to pound when he saw Lin Xu enter the door.

Lin Xuruo's black eyes as deep as a cold pool glided across the table that blocked him. He didn't ask, but put the brocade box in his hand on the table.

"What is this?" Jin Qi sat and looked curiously, but didn't dare to approach.

Lin Xu opened the brocade box, faced it to Jin Qi, and showed Jin Qi the banknotes inside. The banknotes were all large-value banknotes, and a rough estimate might be close to [-].

"Don't the emperor know this?" Lin Xu saw all Jin Qi's hair-blasting guards in his eyes.

"Of course I know it's a silver ticket. I'm asking you where you came from?" Jin Qi looked at Lin Xu warily. Seeing that Lin Xu didn't seem to eat people today, he couldn't help but stood up curiously and walked to the table. forward.

Jin Qi couldn't be more clear about the situation in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lin Xu couldn't afford so much money.If he really had so much money, he would have already replaced all of it with ancient books and famous paintings to enrich his study.

"It was given by someone else."

"Send? There are still such good things in this world, and there are such good things, why don't you call Shangzhen..." Jin Qi vaguely understood halfway through his words.

Jin Qi also vaguely knew about the recent riots in Beijing, but because he absolutely believed in Lin Xu, he didn't take it too seriously.

Jin Qi looked at the stack of banknotes on the table and then at Lin Xu. After realizing it later, he looked at the leader of the hundred officials in front of him with black lines. He was the first one who took corruption and bribery for granted. see you for the first time.

"...You want to give it to me?" Jin Qi couldn't react.

What does this person mean by taking bribes and taking money for him?This person finally couldn't bear the loneliness and was ready to become a corrupt official, and he wanted to share the spoils with him?

"The emperor doesn't want it?" Lin Xu said, ready to collect the things and take them away.

"Yes, of course." Jin Qi hurriedly said, the treasury is short of money now, although there are only tens of thousands here, it can solve the urgent need.

Lin Xu closed the box and handed it to Jin Qi. At the same time, Jin Qi also brought a document, "I asked someone to investigate secretly before. I originally planned to find a time for you, but now it seems that it is useless?"

Jin Qi is not sure. After all, the people in front of him have already accepted bribes. Will he still investigate this matter?

Lin Xu took the information and glanced at it, and solved Jin Qi's doubts, "Nowadays, the collection of commercial taxes and the national treasury should be the most important thing. Even if you want to check the past things, you may not be able to find out in a short time."

It is better to save the country with curves than head-to-head, and what's more, the money he entrusted to his master's design is almost offset by part of the tax evasion.

Jin Qi nodded. He trusted Lin Xu. Although they seemed to be sharing the spoils now, he still didn't think Lin Xu would harm him.

"Sir farewell."

Jin Qi looked at Lin Xu who turned around and left, he was stunned for a moment and then hurriedly said: "I'm leaving now, aren't you going to explain what happened that day? You should know that offending the emperor is a capital offense!"

Lin Xu, who was about to leave, stopped when he heard the words, and turned his head to look at Jin Qi.

Facing his dark eyes, Jin Qi shrunk his neck instinctively, but soon puffed up his chest again. He wanted to know the answer, whether it was liking or teasing, there must always be an answer.

Lin Xu, who was walking back, went around the table and walked towards Jin Qi. Jin Qi, who had just raised his chest and head up, ran to the stool in fright, "What are you going to do?"

"Didn't the emperor ask the minister to explain?" Lin Xu approached slowly.

"Just explain it to me right there." Jin Qi frowned, "Don't come here."

The corners of Lin Xu's mouth curled up, a little sinister and a little playful, and he moved closer, until he forced him to sit on the stool, and his slender fingers immediately lifted his chin.
