Chapter 506: Eyebrows are gradually coming
"Xue'er, you have a good rest at home, rest assured, I want to go to the palace to meet the emperor and queen. Gu Fengmian said to Ouyang Xue while pouring water for Ouyang Xue.
Since the last time Shen Zeyuan summoned Gu Fengmian and told him about the alliance between Shen Zecang and the Martial Arts Alliance Leader, although Gu Fengmian said that he didn't have to worry, he had recently entered the palace more often.
Ouyang Xue also understood that Gu Fengmian was discussing countermeasures with Shen Zeyuan and them, and she also felt that it was still important to be a national matter, so she did not object to Gu Fengmian always not being by her side these days.
"You just go, there must be something moving on Shen Zecang's side again, don't worry about me, there are maids to take care of me when you leave." โ
Ouyang Xue didn't want Gu Fengmian to remember herself when talking about political affairs, so she relieved Gu Fengmian: "I'm serious, you just go ahead." โ
Hearing Ouyang Xue say this, Gu Fengmian was also relieved, and before leaving, he didn't forget to tell Ouyang Xue to drink the fetal pills.
Ouyang Xue looked at Gu Fengmian, who turned back three times in one step, her face was full of smiles: "Go, don't let the emperor wait." โ
After Gu Fengmian left, the maid brought Ouyang Xue a fetal pill, and while she was blowing Chinese medicine for Ouyang Xue, she said to Ouyang Xue: "Madam is really a good life, add such a good man." โ
On weekdays, Ouyang Xue is close and kind, and the maids are also willing to serve Ouyang Xue, so it is naturally more comfortable to get along with Ouyang Xue.
"Yes, they all say that I married a good husband, and I think he will be a good father after the child is born. Ouyang Xue stroked her belly, which had not yet bulged, and smiled with her eyebrows.
After Gu Fengmian left the Gu Mansion, he went straight to the palace, Shen Zeyuan and Song Shuyan were naturally together, and after Gu Fengmian entered, he sat on the chair on the side.
"Shen Zecang's matter, is there any movement?" Before Gu Fengmian could sit down, he couldn't wait to know about Shen Zecang.
"It can't be regarded as a big discovery, but except for the alliance between him and Lin Rui that we knew before, the others are some ambiguous news. โ
Shen Zeyuan had a headache when he mentioned Shen Zecang, but Shen Zecang's movements have been really small recently, I don't know if he hid it too cleverly, or if he was really entangled in housework and didn't make any big moves.
"However, this does not affect the progress of our plan," Song Shuyan said on the side, "For the thing we said before, you can start casting your net." โ
Song Shuyan looked at Gu Fengmian and admonished again: "But it's better to be careful, don't show your feet, so as not to startle the snake." โ
Gu Fengmian nodded, indicating that he would do his best, and then Gu Fengmian spoke: "Then, our plan for the martial arts alliance leader ยทยทยทยทยทยท before"
Gu Fengmian said this because when he was talking about the plan before, he was suddenly called away by the people in his family, and then because he had been busy taking care of Ouyang Xue, who was pregnant, Gu Fengmian didn't know much about the plan.
"You haven't listened to the plan before, so let's say it again here. Song Shuyan didn't mind repeating the plan again.
The three of them discussed the plan for the leader of the martial arts alliance for a while, and after the plan was formed, Gu Fengmian was ready to leave.
"Then it's done, rest assured, Shen Zecang is not enough to be the enemy of the entire Tianmen Palace. Gu Fengmian still didn't take Shen Zecang very seriously.
"If it's okay, I'll go back first, I still have a pregnant wife to take care of. Gu Fengmian changed to a relaxed tone, trying to dilute the tense atmosphere just now.
"Bring the tonic to my sister a little more, it's a little bit of heart. Although the supplements and medicinal herbs had been sent to the Gu Mansion like flowing water before, Song Shuyan still insisted on bringing something to Ouyang Xue.
"That's not necessary, Xue'er herself said that she only stayed in bed all day long, and she was already very healthy. Gu Fengmian deliberately learned Ouyang Xue's tone of complaining to himself.
"If you want to make up for your body again, I'm afraid that your good figure will be out of shape. Gu Fengmian smiled and imitated his wife's demeanor when she spoke, and made Shen Zeyuan laugh.
"Well, since you said no, what you sent before should be enough, so don't worry. Shen Zeyuan spoke, the first half of the sentence was for Gu Fengmian, and the second half was for Song Shuyan.
After Gu Fengmian left, Song Shuyan told Shen Zeyuan about Shen Zecang's recent situation, but it was not about the alliance with the martial arts alliance leader, but some housework.
"Song Wanyan has seen more and more times, and the informant I sent said that she has reached a state of semi-madness, and Princess Qinggele and Lin Xiao will definitely not give Song Wanyan a good life easily, it seems that Shen Zecang is guilty this time. โ
Although Song Shuyan said this, he did not show any concern for Shen Zecang and Song Wanyan, but there was a lot of schadenfreude in his tone.
"By the way, on the way back from the Valley of the Divine Doctor last time, I saw a lot of victims, the children were skinny and looked like they had been hungry for many days. โ
Song Shuyan suddenly remembered the scene he saw on the way back to the capital, and Shen Zeyuan was confused after listening to it: "What's the matter, before, it had already been allocated to the disaster area for disaster relief." โ
Then before Song Shuyan could answer, Shen Zeyuan first gloomy: "That must be the silver taels used for disaster relief embezzled by corrupt officials, okay, this is preparing to deceive me!"
Thinking that those corrupt officials were all so rich, they had a vegetarian meal every day, and they were full of fat, but the people were enduring hunger and poverty, Song Shuyan's heart was also angry.
"We must punish severely, maybe a lot of people will be involved this time, they are all grasshoppers on a rope, and they can't run. โ
Song Shuyan asked Shen Zeyuan to thoroughly investigate this matter, and by the way, Shen Zeyuan also asked Shen Zeyuan to solve the people's affairs first: "But it's still important to the disaster area, first send a few henchmen to bring food and medicine to the disaster relief, in order to prevent corrupt officials from intercepting halfway, it is best to order some guards to guard in advance." โ
Shen Zeyuan nodded in agreement and replied, "Those who dare to embezzle will be executed on the street." โ
For the mediocre officials who rely on deducting the people and enriching themselves, the execution on the street is even cheaper for them, at least they must be stripped of their official positions and exiled as soldiers.
Shen Zeyuan's side finally has some eyebrows about this matter, knowing that there must be a lot of people behind the corruption of disaster funds this time, and if you want to find out these people thoroughly, you must be careful and not startle the snake.
Wouldn't embezzlement under Shen Zeyuan's nose be tantamount to challenging his imperial authority? If he can investigate corrupt officials this time, he may be able to consolidate his position.
After having eyebrows, Shen Zeyuan began to peel off the cocoon layer by layer.
