After a meal was rushing, the two of them left Qinghe Garden by car.

Chen Ping went to the newspaper office to arrange tasks according to Chen Xu's instructions. Chen Xu looked at it too late and was too lazy to go to the laboratory to check the refining of essential oils. He did not go back to the other courtyard but went directly to his Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion and arranged for his servants to go to the other courtyard to inform Shui Qingrou and others not to go home tonight.

He was speechless all night. The next morning, Chen Xu went to court and deliberately stopped Feng Quji at the entrance of the court hall, asking him not to mention the memorial yesterday for the time being, and Feng Quji naturally agreed.

Yesterday, the two discussed for half an hour. Feng Qujigu said that he was naturally unwilling to break up with Wang because of this matter. After Chen Xu returned, he searched in the newspaper office. His hard work paid off. Finally, he found several articles about the conflict between the soldiers guarding the border outside Yanmen Pass and the local people. However, perhaps the local reporters were afraid of the soldiers guarding the pass, or only later learned about it, so the record of this matter was not very specific. The cause and process of the incident were unclear. Only the result was written. The Jingbian Temple, which was worshipped by Li Mu, was destroyed, and the conflict resulted in three deaths, more than ten injuries, and hundreds of people were arrested. As for the subsequent outcome, there was no further information.

Moreover, these articles are concentrated in mid-to-late March after the incident. As for the manuscripts that have entered April, Chen Xu and Chen Ping read hundreds of articles, but there was almost no related report. Therefore, Chen Xu speculated that the subsequent reports on this matter might have been intercepted by local officials.

If the guess is valid, then you can only inquire through private business travel.

There is no new topic in today's morning court discussions. The civil and military officials of the three provinces and six ministries reported on the matters as usual. After the court was dispersed, they returned to their respective offices to work step by step.

After the court dispersed, Chen Xu caught up with Meng Yi, who was about to return to the provincial supervisory province, and invited him to have tea and chat.

Meng Yi naturally went there happily for the invitation from his son-in-law. Two Shangqing special cars, which are almost well-known in Xianyang, walked through the streets and alleys, and soon arrived at the quiet and elegant Sanwei Teahouse.

"Please, my father-in-law, this is the Ziyun Fairy Tea I personally fryed in the beginning of spring, and there is not much left now!" After coming to the Sanwei Teahouse, Chen Xu asked the tea girl to make a pot of tea she brought. After serving it, Chen Xu poured a cup for Meng Yi himself.

Meng Yi picked up the teacup and sniffed it slightly, then took a sip. The hot tea water entered his throat, and his face suddenly showed a relaxed and satisfied expression, "I have drunk a lot of tea, but Ziyunxian tea tastes the sweetest and mellow. I must leave some for me next year. Well, Dahongpao from Jiangdong Tea House is also good, it feels much better than the tea from Shuishi Tea House!"

"Don't worry, my father-in-law, the production of Ziyunxian Tea should increase next year. I will definitely help you keep more. Dahongpao, please arrange for the butler to go to Jiangdong Tea House and just say it. Why do you have to let me come forward in this way?" Chen Xu pouted unhappily.

My father-in-law is not only greedy for money and lust, but also stingy. Since he gave his daughter to him, he always used various tricks to get benefits from him. His filial piety alone is worth less than 100,000 yuan every year. If he had changed to a poorer son-in-law, he would probably have hanged himself.

"You, do you think I don't know that the Dahongpao given to you by Jiangdong Tea House is the authentic Dahongpao. I heard that you specially guided me to pick it from the cliffs. Other Dahongpao growing on the ground are not authentic!" Meng Yi also curled his lips to his fancy son-in-law.

"Cough cough cough cough cough..." Chen Xu almost choked with a mouthful of tea. He held back his tears and said, "Dadfather-in-law even knows this?"

"Hmph, I monitor the world, what else can I hide from me!" Meng Yi hummed disdainfully.

Well, your supervision province is the most awesome, so awesome that heifers stand upside down.

Chen Xu wiped his mouth clean and then spoke slowly: "Since my father-in-law supervises the world, do you know the reason why my son-in-law invited her father-in-law to come for tea today?"

Meng Yi put down the teacup and glared and said, "I am not the roundworm in your belly, how do you know?"

Chen Xu:...

"Tell me, I know you won't invite me to have tea for nothing. I usually see me running faster than a rabbit..."

"Hehe!" Chen Xu laughed dryly, thinking that if I don't run faster, I'll lose money again. Your baby girl is simply a money tree for you to improve your quality of life. I have to prepare a serving of any delicious food and drink for you. However, since I learned that Meng Wan was pregnant, Meng Yi's attitude towards him has improved a lot.

"Actually, it's nothing. There is something that may be related to the official voice and future of my father-in-law. My son-in-law wants to remind me about my father-in-law!"

Meng Yi frowned and said unhappy when he heard this: "Why do you have to hesitate when speaking? Do you think I am a person who cares about official voice and future?"

Holding the grass! Chen Xu looked at Meng Yi with a trembling face, his mouth wide open. Can you speak more shamelessly?

Meng Yi slowly blew the tea foam, took a few sips happily before continuing: "I am in charge of the provincial supervision, and there is no official voice at all. All civil and military officials regard me like snakes and scorpions, secretly cursing me to return to the west early, and never had a good word. As for the future, I am now ranked as the Supreme Minister and one of the three central provinces. The glory and wealth that I should enjoy has come to an end. How can I have a better future?"

Okay, you won. Chen Xu took a few sips of tea with a depressed expression. Meng Yi didn't speak. The two sat alone for a few minutes. It was not until they finished drinking the hot tea in their cups that Meng Yi stood up and picked up the teapot to refill the cups for the two of them. Then he stroked his beard and said calmly: "What do you need to help me and speak as soon as possible? You and my father-in-law and son-in-law don't need to hide it. I will naturally help you and my husband!"

"I'm afraid my son-in-law will not agree!" Chen Xu said quietly.

"You useless aggression, how did you know I refused!" Meng Yi was like an old fox and was not fooled at all.

"Since my father-in-law said that, please read this memorial first!" Chen Xu flipped his hand, took out the memorial that had been prepared and gently put it in front of Meng Yi.

Meng Yi's face became slightly serious. He opened the memorial and read it quickly. He even missed the disposal opinions of the Ministry of Justice and the reviews of the Secretariat. After reading it, Meng Yi closed the memorial and then closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

"There are different inside stories behind this memorial. In fact, it is far more than just someone was injured. After seeing the memorial yesterday, my son-in-law went to the Ministry of Justice to inquire, but he did not get more useful information. Therefore, he went to the newspaper office to check the news releases from Yanmen County. Finally, he found some clues. The soldiers guarding the border destroyed Jingbian Temple, killed three people in the battle, injured more than ten people, and more than a hundred people were arrested and imprisoned by the guards of Yanmen Pass..."

"I have been to Yanmen Pass, and I have heard of this Jingbian Temple. It was the temple where people from Zhao worshipped Li Mu. The soldiers from the Northern Army camp clashed with local people at Jingbian Temple. This incident may involve the Marquis of Wucheng Wangli. Could it be that you want to pull me into the water!" Meng Yi suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Chen Xu.

"It's not that the son-in-law wants to pull his father-in-law into the water, but that Feng Xiang wants to push this matter to you!" Chen Xu shamelessly sacrificed Feng Quji.

Meng Yi was silent for a long time again, then nodded slightly and said, "If things really are as you said, I am indeed guilty of misunderstanding. Feng Quji did not know the inside story, and he did not want to conflict with Wang. It is understandable that I am in love, but it is shameless to try to push me to the front to block the arrow!"

"How can my father-in-law be so unreasonable and wronged the son-in-law? If the son-in-law hadn't stopped Feng Xiang in advance when he was in court today, Feng Xiang in the court would have reported the matter to the emperor. Then my father-in-law would have been at a loss now. The son-in-law was not wrong, right!"

"Well, that's right, but I think if no one urged him, Feng Quji would not take the initiative to cause trouble for himself. No one can afford the consequences of offending Wang. Feng Quji cannot do it, and I cannot do it either, but..." Meng Yi stared at Chen Xu with two big eyes and said word by word, "You can only do it!"

Chen Xu was completely out of temper. In front of an old fox like Meng Yi, all tricks were useless. Like Feng Quji, he could see the essence clearly through the phenomenon. He belonged to the ninth level of the official pirate. There was nothing in this world to fool them.

Judging from the history of later generations, both of them were loyal to the Qin Dynasty and would rather die than surrender. In other words, it is meaningless to deal with Meng Yi and Feng Quji, and they can only rely on conspiracies and tricks to deal with Meng Yi and Feng Quji, and they can only rely on unreasonable tough measures.

However, all three of them are Shangqing, with their political status exactly the same, and they can't suppress them unreasonable. Although Chen Xu has the identity of an immortal disciple, this is a pure visual aura. In fact, it is really inconvenient to use. Feng Quji and Meng Yi will not buy it. After all, offending Chen Xu is at most a little cursed by heaven, and offending the three big and small tigers of the Wang family is very easy to predict. He will definitely be punished by the emperor or even seized his official position. In a flash, he will be deprived of his glory and wealth.

"Brother-in-law, do you think the general knows about this matter?" Chen Xu decided to discuss it in another way.

"According to my understanding of the general, he must not know it, but if you want to use this to test the general, I advise you to forget it. I heard that the general has been lying on bed for several years. Half a month ago, the general guards entered the palace to pay homage to the emperor and asked the Marquis of Tongwu to return to Xianyang in advance. I guess that the general is not far from the funeral sky, but the battle in Lingnan has come to an end. Your Majesty did not want the preparations for several years, so he did not agree. Instead, he arranged for many imperial physicians to go to Meiyuan to treat the general. It seems that he wanted to extend his life to the general..."

"There is still this matter, why don't I know?" Chen Xu opened his mouth wide.

"Hmph, you are lazy in official business. You usually go to court for three days and do two days to dry the Internet. The official business in the Secretariat is even more messy. I heard that you have been staying in Qinghe Villa recently to accompany a group of wives and concubines to have fun, either making mooncakes or opening a baking restaurant. How to have any worries and concerns? And yesterday, I was even more serious, and I was actually tutoring a group of wives and concubines at home to make sachets!" Meng Yi hummed and rolled his eyes.

Chen Xu's face turned dark in an instant. No wonder you didn't know what happened in Yanmen County. It turned out that everyone was monitoring me.

"Don't think too much, I'm not interested in monitoring you every day. At noon today, Wan'er went back to her parents' home to visit and gave your mother-in-law a sachet..." Meng Yi continued to drink tea with disdain.

So that's it. Chen Xu suddenly realized that Meng Wan couldn't help but seduce her father with a sachet.
Chapter completed!
