Chapter 691 Master Is Not an Ordinary Man

Now Ruoyin was confused, which one is it?

Had he guessed her intentions?

Despite the gallop in his heart, Ruoyin still showed an embarrassed but polite smile.

"Fourth Master, you don't know me yet." She pulled down the quilt, exposed her whole head, and said sullenly: "Master is always so mysterious, and I can't guess your thoughts. If you don't explain it clearly, I really don't know what you mean, so you just tell me directly, so that I can know everything without saying anything."

Fourth master clenched his fists, coughed lightly, and said, "Do you really think that Chen Biao is well-rounded, has a kung fu, and is stronger than ordinary men?"

"Indeed, after all, he has practiced martial arts, and he is better than ordinary people who study literature, but..." Ruoyin looked at fourth master with admiration, and changed the topic, "For someone like you who studies literature and martial arts like you, This is no ordinary man."

Hearing this, fourth master didn't speak, but the coldness between his brows disappeared.

His eyes fell on the woman, and his mysterious and deep black pupils stared straight into her eyes, searching for something.

After a long time, he just got up and said calmly: "Okay, I still have something to do, go back to the front yard first, if you feel sleepy, you can rest for a while."

"Thank you for your compassion." Ruoyin sat up, saluted meaningfully, and watched fourth master leave.

After the stalwart body disappeared, she raised her eyebrows slightly.

Is fourth master really being fooled by her, or is he pretending not to be suspicious?

But no matter what, it was impossible for her to tell fourth master the truth.

Couples who are deeply in love with each other also have their own privacy and unspeakable secrets.

What's more, she and fourth master are just the most common married couple in Qing Dynasty.

Couples who have no emotional basis don't have to say everything so clearly.

If she told fourth master directly, it was because Chen Biao belonged to him and was not loyal to her, so he sent him away.

Then everything starts to go sour.

Moreover, fourth master will not only transfer Chen Biao back, but also strictly guard the main courtyard.

I thought she really had something shameful.

The little trust that remains between each other will also disappear.

A shrewd man like Fourth Master seems to be indifferent, but she always feels that he has already guessed something.

It's just that, like her, he didn't break through the window paper.

Just as Ruoyin thought, when the fourth master left the main courtyard, he ordered coldly, "Su Peisheng, arrange an errand for Chen Biao. Also, look more strictly at the main courtyard!"

"Hey."

After returning to the front yard, Chen Biao came in before the fourth master's stool was warmed up.

"Fourth Master, just now the guards in the palace came to report, saying that Lord Long Live has urgently invited you into the palace."

Since Kangxi personally summoned him, Fourth Master did not neglect for a moment.

After leaving the yard, he pulled a fine horse and drove towards the palace non-stop.

On the way, I met Wu Sidao.

The fourth master reined in the horse, and let out a "wow".

He was riding on horseback, looking down at Wu Sidao.

It's not that he was full and had nothing to do, so he ran into him on the way.

I am afraid that there is a reason for blocking his way at this critical moment.

Sure enough, Wu Sidao looked left and right, leaned closer and whispered: "Fourth Master, the servant opened a small private room in a nearby teahouse, so that I can show my face?"

The fourth master glanced around, and got off the horse neatly, "I'll make a long story short later, Huang Ama is in a hurry to call the master into the palace, so don't neglect."

"Yes, yes, the slave understands." Wu Sidao echoed.

When we arrived at the small elegant room of the teahouse, Wu Sidao spoke directly.

"Fourth Master, I heard that something happened to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and a person was killed unjustly. That person was a servant of the Thirteenth Master, who took the blame for others. It happened that the Long Live Lord asked the Thirteenth Master to discuss the matter, and the Thirteenth Master told the matter. Let me tell you. Lord Long Live gave an order, and we must find out the truth of the matter!"

"How unreasonable is this? Both Huang Tiren and Xiao Guoxing have already been executed, and the Ministry of Punishment is still so embarrassing."

"As long as the Crown Prince is still in charge of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the Ministry of Criminal Justice will not be peaceful. So this time, the servant persuaded Fourth Master not to take up this job. Anyway, Eighth Master really wants to catch the Crown Prince. Let them fight."

"Why?"

"First of all, we don't know what the Lord Long Live means. If the Lord Long Live still wants to cover up the prince, if we don't find out the truth, the matter will be messed up. If we find out the truth, we will also bear the reputation of "fighting in the nest", which is not worthwhile. How about Let Ba Ye do it, anyway, if he does this, he will be the deadly enemy of the upright Prince Cha."

The fourth master twirled the Buddha beads regularly, and replied lightly: "This matter still depends on how Huang Ama arranges it. If he doesn't arrange it for me, I won't grab it. If it is arranged for me, I will naturally take it. I can't." escape."

"Fourth Lord... absolutely no, even if Lord Long Live asks you to take over this job, you can't really accept it." Wu Sidao was extremely excited.

"Okay, I have my own measure." The fourth master got up and patted Wu Sidao on the shoulder, "It's getting late, I have to enter the palace."

After finishing speaking, he strode out of the teahouse.

Wu Sidao stood on the teahouse, watching the back of Fourth Master.

A pair of seasoned eyes closed helplessly.

He always thought that Lord Long Live would definitely hand over this job to fourth master.

After a stick of incense, Fourth Master rushed to Qianqing Palace without stopping.

When they got there, only Kangxi sat on the dragon chair at the top.

"Fourth, I called you here today to tell you about the unjust imprisonment of the Ministry of Punishment." Kangxi said straight to the point.

"Ah? Isn't Second Brother always in charge of the Ministry of Criminal Justice?" Fourth Master asked pretending to be surprised.

But he was thinking in his heart, it seems that Huang Ama no longer intends to protect the crown prince.

Otherwise, if you want to protect the prince, just let the prince handle it by himself.

Where there will be a lot of fanfare, the matter will be announced, and he will track it down.

Kangxi, who was at the top, sighed, and said: "It is true that the Crown Prince has always been in charge of the Ministry of Punishment, but too many things have happened in the Ministry of Punishment recently. I order you to thoroughly investigate this matter!"

"Since Huang Ama entrusted this time to my son-in-law, my son-in-law will definitely supervise and handle it well." The fourth master readily agreed without saying a word.

After about a cup of tea, he left the Qianqing Palace and rode back directly to the mansion.

For a while, those princes and ministers who paid attention to this matter all knew that fourth master had taken over this job.

However, after fourth master returned, he went straight into the inner room of the front yard.

Spreading his arms, he said coldly: "Su Peisheng, go to the ice cellar and get some ice water and ice cubes. I want to take a bath."

"This..." Su Peisheng was eye-catching, and he knew what fourth master was thinking with just a guess.

With trembling lips, he cautiously persuaded, "Master, your body is important, we must not hurt our body."

"Shut up!" Fourth Master grabbed a piece of clothing and threw it at Su Peisheng.

Su Peisheng was so frightened that he took the clothes and went out to make arrangements.

In the early morning of the next day, news of the fourth master's serious illness spread from Prince Yong's residence.
