Chapter 1411 A gentleman keeps his abilities to himself!

At night, after Pei Zhixiu coaxed his second daughter Ye Yiren to sleep, Jingxuan found his mother again.

Although her son is still very young, looking at the serious expression on his tender face, Bae Ji-soo, as a mother, feels even more helpless.

Because she had to work at Changshan Medical Clinic before, and now she has to teach at the medical school, she is rarely at home during the day. This also means that the son and daughter in the family have to be taken care of by the palace maids and nannies, and Liu Ying is the maid who mainly takes care of Jingxuan!
Therefore, rather than saying that Liu Ying is her maid, it would be more appropriate to say that she is Jingxuan's nanny. Ever since Jingxuan was sensible, Liu Ying has been serving the Fourth Prince, and the master and servant have accumulated some feelings, so Pei Zhixiu was not surprised that her son came to her at this time!
Feeling the confusion and anger in his son's eyes, Pei Zhixiu sighed and said:

"They are right. I was the one who ordered Liu Ying to be beaten to death!"

Jingxuan could no longer control his emotions after hearing this, and he spoke with tears in his eyes:
"Mother, why are you doing this?"

"Why don't you give Sister Liu Ying a chance to correct her mistakes?"

Facing this question from her son, Pei Zhixiu had several reasons in her mind that she wanted to tell, but in the end, Pei Zhixiu didn't say any of them. She just touched her son's head and said with a wry smile:

"Jingxuan, when you grow up, you will understand!"

Facing his mother's perfunctory response, Jingxuan asked again:
"Did she threaten you?"

“No one threatens me…”

"Then why did you have to do this? Sister Liu Ying is my best friend, why did you want to kill her!"

Seeing that his son was determined to get to the bottom of the matter, Pei Zhixiu was a little helpless, but he still waved his hand and a strong wind blew, and all the doors and windows were immediately closed. After doing this, Pei Zhixiu asked his son with a serious face:
"Jingxuan, you are a smart kid. Do you know why this happened?"

Jingxuan hesitated for a moment and said:
"Sister Liu Ying delivered a love letter for someone else!"

Pei Zhixiu shook his head and said:

"This is just the superficial reason. There are deeper reasons!"

"What's the deeper reason?" Jing Xuan blinked and asked in confusion:
"The deeper reason is because of you, Jingxuan!"

"I?"

Hearing his mother say this, Jing Xuan's expression became even more shocked. The little boy looked at his mother in disbelief. Under his gaze, his mother nodded solemnly, indicating that the little boy had not heard wrong, and then said with some mixed emotions:
"Jingxuan, I know you didn't do it on purpose. It's normal for a young man to have such a mentality. The mistake is that you were born in an imperial family, and you're not the crown prince. So when you steal the crown prince's limelight, some people will not like it or even be very annoyed. They will want to destroy your momentum so that you can't threaten the crown prince!"

"Even if there was no Liu Ying incident, the other party would not give up. They would fabricate other events to achieve their goals!"

Listening to his mother's helpless narration, the little boy was also deeply shocked. After a long while, he murmured:
"Mother, I never thought of becoming a prince?"

Pei Zhixiu stroked his son's face tenderly and said:
"Mother knows that you have never thought of becoming a crown prince, but you are too smart, which is a sin in the eyes of others!"

"Then what should I do, mother?"

Pei Zhixiu stroked his son's face and taught him:

“A gentleman hides his ability and waits for the right time to act. He appears dull to others and attacks them with his sharp edge…”

The next day, at 1:00 p.m.

Wang Xuecheng arrived at the Coordination Office slowly. Although he had come to work, he was yawning in the classroom. Last night, Wang Xuecheng went home because he heard that his son was sick.

Originally, Wang Xuecheng just wanted to take a good look at his son's condition to see how serious his illness was, but his crazy wife Ye Ling, as soon as she saw him, was like a gunpowder, and all kinds of dirty words came out of her mouth.

At first, Wang Xuecheng still thought that as a real man, he, as a prime minister, could tolerate a big problem and would not argue with Ye Ling, a shrew.

But who would have thought that Ye Ling seemed to be determined to quarrel. Seeing that Wang Xuecheng didn't say anything, she became more and more excited, and the more she spoke, the more insulting she became, and she even wanted to curse Wang Xuecheng's ancestors. So in the end, Wang Xuecheng broke down and the two of them started quarreling again.

At the end, Ye Ling even wanted to rush up and tickle Wang Xuecheng. Wang Xuecheng, who was in a state of heat at the time, did not tolerate this fierce woman and pushed Ye Ling to the ground. Finally, amid Ye Ling's crying, Wang Xuecheng regained some of his composure and felt that he had gone too far. However, given the situation at the time, he could not say anything and could only turn around and leave.

After leaving home, Wang Xuecheng did not go to his mistress Hongyun, but asked his lover Yang out. As the director of the Coordination Office, Wang Xuecheng couldn't even remember how many women he had slept with, and now he still has relationships with nearly ten of them...

However, unlike most of his lovers who came from prostituted families, this Yang was from a good family. She was the wife of a centurion in the General Coordination Office. By chance, Wang Xuecheng met this Yang and was immediately attracted by her charm and appearance. He immediately turned into a thief named Cao!
Compared to Wang Xuecheng's other lovers who were half-heartedly obsessed with power, Yang was still very chaste at the beginning. She said that she and her husband were very loving and hoped that Lord Wang Xuecheng would be magnanimous enough to let her go. But unfortunately, the more she was like this, the more she aroused Wang Xuecheng's desire to conquer her!

Although she rejected Wang Xuecheng at first, unfortunately, Yang was not the kind of chaste and virtuous woman. Under Wang Xuecheng's increasingly fierce offensive, Yang finally succumbed to his power and became one of the mistresses of the director of the Coordination Office!
Yang's husband, Zhao Zibo, a captain of the General Coordination Office, was unaware of this at first. However, when he returned home by chance one day, he caught his wife Yang playing the flute for Wang Xuecheng. Although he was very angry, he had to swallow his anger under the threat of Wang Xuecheng.

Although Zhao Zibo had been patient enough, Wang Xuecheng still didn't want to let him go. In order to occupy the Yang family, he sent Zhao Zibo from the headquarters of the Yijing Coordination Office to Yongliang a few days ago.

In addition, Wang Xuecheng also gave a secret order to Luo Cong, the captain of the Yongliang Affairs Coordination Office, asking Luo Cong to arrange Zhao Zibo to the most dangerous place and perform the most dangerous mission. Zhao Zibo must not be allowed to return from Yongliang alive. If Zhao Zibo does not die before the end of the year, Luo Cong will no longer have a job as a captain...
So last night, when Wang Xuecheng thought about Yang playing the flute for him in front of Zhao Zibo's coffin in the near future, he was very excited!
He was so excited that he took a powerful pill to fight with Yang. The effect of the powerful pill was very strong, which made Wang Xuecheng, a middle-aged man, dream back to his adolescence when he was 18 years old. He fought with Yang for half an hour before he fell asleep exhausted. Wang Xuecheng just woke up from the bed half an hour ago. He didn't want to come to work at first, but when he thought that the Censorate was looking for trouble with the Coordination Office during this period, it would be very troublesome if they caught him absent from work, so he came to work with dark circles under his eyes.

Although he came to work, Wang Xuecheng didn't have anything to do today, so he just changed the place to sleep. As the director of the Coordination Office, his classroom was very large, with not only a front hall but also an inner hall.

There is a bed in the inner hall. It was originally used by Wang Xuecheng to sleep in the yamen when he worked overtime in the yamen too late during the Fengwu Army’s war. This made it convenient for Wang Xuecheng to work the next day.

Later, the Fengwu Army unified the country, the workload of the United Mediation Office became much smaller, and Wang Xuecheng never used this bed again.

So now this bed, which was originally used to facilitate Wang Xuecheng's work, has found its place again.
However, just as Wang Xuecheng was lying on the bed, preparing to take another nap, there was a knock on the door.

Hearing the knock on the door, Wang Xuecheng shouted impatiently:
"What happened?"

Wang Xuecheng's personal clerk Li Feng answered from outside the door:

"Sir, Captain Ge wants to see you about something important!"

Hearing that it was Ge Xiong looking for him, although Wang Xuecheng looked tired and wanted to sleep, he also knew that Ge Xiong must have important matters to talk to him about, so he did not dare to delay. He immediately got up from the bed, washed his face with cold water, and then opened the door...
A moment later, Ge Xiong walked into the classroom, and after greeting, he reported to Wang Xuecheng:

"I have two things to report to you!"

"Say!"

"The first thing is that two days ago at noon, dozens of officials and servants who were laid off in Ji County gathered in front of the Ji County government office to sit in protest. Ji County Magistrate Feng Qingshu did not take any action and let the situation develop. After Wang Yinchuan got the news, he immediately sent a centurion to suppress the protest and arrested Liu Xu, the leader of the riot!"

"Originally, my men wanted to bring Liu Xu back to Yijing for trial, but Liu Xu is very powerful in Ji County. He gathered hundreds of people and surrounded the officers from our Coordination Office. They would not let him leave Ji County until Liu Xu was handed over. He is now trapped in Ji County!"

Wang Xuecheng was very angry when he heard this. As a secret agency directly under Ye Mingsheng, the Coordination Office has always enjoyed privileges, and no one has dared to make public arrests for a long time. However, Wang Xuecheng never expected that such a situation would occur in Ji County!

Although he was very angry about this, Wang Xuecheng was not a fool since he had been in the position of director of the Coordination Office for so long. A trace of doubt arose in his heart. After all, according to Ge Xiong, such a big thing happened in Ji County, but the county magistrate Feng Qingshu did nothing. This was obviously unreasonable!
After all, as the head of the county, the magistrate must take responsibility for such a big thing. So according to normal thinking, he should not continue to let the situation develop, but should actively solve the problem and resolve the conflict.
At this time, Ge Xiong continued:
"Sir, I just investigated Feng Qingshu's background and found that he was promoted by Gongsun Hao, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, and has a very close relationship with the Gongsun family, so I suspect there may be something wrong with this matter!"

Wang Xuecheng realized something after hearing this, and immediately asked back with his eyes slightly lowered:

"You mean to say that Gongsun Hao might be involved in this matter?"

"Your Excellency, I think we cannot rule out this possibility. The Ministry of Justice has already submitted the plan to set up the Inspection Department to the Attendant Department. If something happens to our Coordination Office at this time, it will be a great help to them!"

Wang Xuecheng nodded slightly and fell into deep thought. He had been in the Coordination Office for so long and had rich experience in struggle. Therefore, even though Ge Xiong did not specify what the problem was, Wang Xuecheng could still guess most of it.

If this is a trap in Ji County, then it is very likely that the other party wants to create a conflict between the common people and the Coordination Office, and then make things bigger, so as to occupy the moral high ground with the help of public opinion and attack the Coordination Office in the Joint Censorate!

Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Wang Xuecheng's eyes. Although the matter had not been investigated clearly, this was a trap set for the Coordination Office.

But based on Wang Xuecheng's understanding of Li Jian, Wang Xuecheng and others, he has basically confirmed that this is most likely the case.

And if this group of people's plan comes true, the Coordination Office will definitely suffer a great loss!
As the leader of the Coordination Office, Wang Xuecheng is not a good man. Although I have seen through your tricks, since you want to harm me, I will definitely not let you go easily...
Thinking of this, Wang Xuecheng also asked in a deep voice:
"How is the situation of the Gongsun family occupying the land?"

Hearing Wang Xuecheng mention this matter, Ge Xiong thought for a moment and said:

"According to my previous investigation, the Gongsun family occupies more than 2,000 hectares of fertile land in Liaoyang, and 500 hectares in Youyan.
In Qi and Lu, there are also 800 hectares!"

"Is the evidence conclusive?"

"The Gongsun family hired someone to hold the assets on their behalf. In order not to alert the enemy, we did not touch these people before, so there are still some incomplete pieces in the chain of evidence. But as long as you give the order, we can immediately arrest these people and all the evidence will be clear!"

Hearing Ge Xiong say this, Wang Xuecheng immediately said:
"Find an opportunity tonight to privately invite Cui Hang out, tell him about this, and ask Mr. Cui to administer justice!"

Ge Xiong hesitated for a moment and said:
"Sir, what if Master Cui doesn't care about this matter?"

A cold light flashed in Wang Xuecheng's eyes and he said:

"We have been very polite here. If they are shameless, don't blame us for being ruthless!"

Upon hearing this, Ge Xiong nodded repeatedly. The Gongsun family alone was not scary, what was scary was the old man behind them!
At this moment, Wang Xuecheng also thought of something, and then continued to ask:

"This is the first thing. What is the second thing you want to report, Ge Xiong?"
