Chapter 133: The Wind and Waves are Rising, the Deer is Crowing and the Waves are Calming, and the Letters from Home are Dark and Suspicious

However, Sun Shaozong hurried to the front hall and exchanged greetings with others. Before he could get down to business, Cheng Rixing, Lin Delu, Zhou Da, and other subordinates came outside.

These people were not on the same level. Sun Shaozong had to arrange them into two groups to take care of them, respectively.

It was not long before Xu Shouye and others of his same year of the martial arts examination arrived.

Sun Shaozong became even more reluctant to come.

Fortunately, people just came to visit him and did not want to hold him up to talk in detail. After a few words of concern, they dispersed one after another.

But Xue Pan was the only one who didn't hesitate to stay there. He insisted that Sun Shaozong visit his house on the eleventh day, this afternoon.

It was said that they would make up for the housewarming banquet on the sixth day of the lunar month. It seemed that Sun Shaozong could be bothered in the Mansion without going there.

Sun Shaozong could not refuse several times, so he had to nod his head and promise. Xue Pan returned to his nest happily.

When the hall was empty, Sun Shaozong suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to give Jia Lian's construction price list for the garden.

Fortunately, according to Jia Lian, the Provincial Courtyard of the Rongguo Mansion was about to be completed. At that time, they would definitely invite relatives and friends to visit. He would then find an excuse to leave it at Jia's house.

Sun Shaozong thought like this and was ready to go back to the backyard.

Unexpectedly, just arriving at the entrance of the hall, Cheng Rixing hurriedly turned back under the guidance of the servants.

The two were employers. Sun Shaozong would not be polite to them, so he asked in front of the door, "Why did you come back? What happened to the Yamen?"

Cheng Rixing pointed in and said, "Let's go in and talk, Master."

Sun Shaozong had to lead him back to the living room.

After the guest and host took their seats, Cheng Rixing said with a little worry, "The trend of events in the Yamen is not right these days, Master. Suddenly, a lot of bad news came out for you. It seems that..."

"It seems what?"

"It seems that someone has set his sights on the position of the Minister!"

Someone has set sights on the position of Minister?

Sun Shaozong frowned, but he was not surprised. Although he was the best candidate to succeed in this position according to common sense, the best candidate was not the only one!

Apart from that, the Ministry of Punishment alone has more than a dozen members [from the fifth rank] and principals [from the sixth rank] who were qualified to be promoted to this position.

Although these people were not as capable as Sun Shaozong, they couldn’t stand the seniority of others.

However, if these people wanted to incite trouble and create confusion in the Central Judicial Office, it was beyond their grasp.

The one who was capable of making trouble in the Central Judicial Office and who was qualified to succeed in the Minister position would only be him.

Zhao Liben, the Assistant Prefectural Magistrate of salt and iron?!

But Han Anbang, the backer of this guy, was about to fall. How could he be confident and dare to compete with himself for the position?

Could it be that this guy also betrayed Han Anbang secretly, so he was supported by Jia Yucun?

Something’s not right.

Jia Yucun has been stuck in the place for the Imperial Examination for more than half a month, and this kind of officialdom strife cannot be delivered through the gate.

After pondering for a while, Sun Shaozong still didn't understand. He had to listen again and said, "Who did Zhao Liben get closer to recently?"

Cheng Rixing said without hesitation, "The Assistant Prefectural Magistrate Fu, and County Magistrate Wang of Daxing County!"
