Chapter 117: Perceiving
"Miss Fu is probably asleep. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Song Ze lowered his head, "In the past few days, two young masters have come up from the Fu family's mansion, it seems that they are ...... Jiangnan He's family, that is, Mrs. Fu's mother's family. ”
Wang Yan's footsteps to leave suddenly stopped.
"What did you just say?"
Song Ze looked up in surprise, but he didn't expect the overseer to hear his words, and he knelt on the ground in fear, "The overseer forgives his sins, and his subordinates ......"
"What did you just say, who is the family in Jiangnan?" Wang Yan's eyebrows were tightly locked, but he was staring at his own question, and there seemed to be a thought in his mind that was about to flash by.
Song Ze nodded, "Yes, Overseer, the He family in Jiangnan is here." ”
Wang Yan's fingers unconsciously rubbed against the jade wrench, and his eyes dimmed, "Leave two guards behind, and the others withdraw to the West Factory." ”
Song Ze was stunned for a moment, and didn't nod until Wang Yan walked away, "Yes!"
To have such a big industry and power in Jiangnan, the He family is not simple, and it is not good to let the people of the He family know his identity too early.
Next to the carved hollow carved window, two figures swayed, and the corners of He Jiuye's lips hooked up a chuckle, "In this family, what is worth making the West Factory fight?"
"It's really not easy!"
He Jiuyan's eyebrows tightened, "Is there anything in the Fu family that is worth fighting in the West Factory?"
"Or is it because of the He family?"
He Jiuye shook his head firmly, "When we came, there were already lackeys from the West Factory guarding outside. ”
"Let's watch first!"
He Jiuyan glanced at He Jiuye, this attitude was too casual, it was a chilling West Factory behind his back, and he didn't respect people at all.
He Jiuye spread his hands, but he was serious for half a moment, "Let's just take my aunt and little cousin away before leaving, then no matter how arrogant Wang Yan is, there is no reason to go against our He family!"
"Unless...... He doesn't want to pump oil and water anymore?"
Money talks.
It's the same thing throughout the ages.
The He family is rich.
The kind of rich people who rival the country, the He family's shops, fields, and other businesses have enveloped half of the Ming Dynasty, and the annual tax alone is enough to fill half of the treasury.
Speaking of which, those factory guards in the West Factory may still rely on the He family's silver to worship, and openly oppose the He family, and the He family doesn't need to take action in person, so naturally someone will come forward to solve it.
He Jiuyan pursed his lips, although he and He Jiuye are twin brothers, his body is ...... , the He family will be controlled by He Jiuye sooner or later.
And he does have the ability.
"What about the people sent by my grandfather?" He San and He Si could not have come to Yingtian alone to participate in the imperial examination, He Chengwei sent many people to follow, and even He Quan, the old housekeeper who had been used for many years, was sent, called care, but in fact guards.
However, He Jiuye thought of a way to break them up, but it was not a long-term solution.
"You don't know what the old man thinks, it's harder than our father, and you think about what your aunt thinks about, don't worry. Uncle He will leave it to me. ”
The smile on the corner of He Jiuye's lips deepened, "Anyway, I also came to the imperial examination, let's make a show first, otherwise the old man will chase us all over the yard with a dragon's head and crutches when he goes back." ”
He Jiuyan glanced at He Jiuye, "You have been able to memorize these "Mencius" and "Xunzi" backwards since you were seven years old, do you still need to watch them again?"
He Jiuye was angry, "Then aren't you the same!"
This time, the corners of He Jiuyan's mouth hooked up with a smile, "Pretend." ”
The two handsome people, although they have different temperaments, are particularly pleasing to the eye when they stand together at the moment, and they are even more heartwarming when they talk and laugh.
They are impeccable in every way.
He Jiuye and He Jiuyan have the ability to never forget, so they are first-class in auditing and business, and as for studying in the imperial examination, it is really not uncommon to have a small solution.
After all, the He family is too rich.
Both brothers chose to keep their minds shut.
is on the cusp of the storm, and it is not good to be targeted again, the country is strong when the youth is strong, and the same is true for the family in business.
He Chengwei has a lot of sons, but they are all mediocre talents, but when it comes to the grandchildren, there are two talents, and the heirs of the next generation can fight for strength to make the He family go further!
"Sleep. He Jiuye muttered out of the room, but he was racking his brains in his mind, how to bring Fu Mingmei back to Jiangnan from Fujiakeng, "Ah, this rain is really annoying." ”
If it weren't for the rain, Fu Mingmei rushed home, and they would have been able to eat at the same table tonight.
He Jiuye thought about it, if those brothers in the family knew that he and Jiuyan had come out to see his sister, they would definitely be envious.
……
"Overseer, you're back. Li Sheng looked at Wang Yan, who left in a hurry and came back in a hurry, with some doubts.
Wang Yan said without looking back, "Go and get those account books." ”
Song Ze's casual words reminded Wang Yan, he went to the Fu family and saw that the candle flame of the Fu family was not extinguished, so he thought that Fu Mingxian had not fallen asleep, but in fact, the Fu family came to the two young masters of the He family.
In the same way...... Could it be that there is also an important task hidden behind the ledger that he can't figure out.
All along, those chaotic branch lines seem to be connected together, and only need to ...... One last step!
"Ah...... Yes!" Li Sheng looked at the urgency between Wang Yan's eyebrows, and was a little stunned, where did the overseer go?
The candle flame illuminates the dark room, the rain outside the window continues to fall, and the lightning and thunder from time to time are even more thrilling.
Wang Yan's eyes were solemn, and the brush stained with red vermilion lacquer circled some industry names from time to time.
Li Sheng compiled the names and industries marked by Wang Yan into a separate book.
The candle flame burned overnight and turned into a puddle of wax and dripping onto the candlestick.
The rain that had been falling all night gradually stopped, and the sky was showing the whiteness of the fish's belly.
Sleepless nights.
Wang Yan's face was even more tired, and his fingers kept clicking on the rearranged ledger on the desktop.
"Boryeong Qian Zhuang is not true. ”
"Longnan Mizhuang is not true. ”
"Jiangxi jewelry shop is not real. ”
“……”
Baoning, Longnan, Jiangxi, these places are the places where he investigated the ministers who were killed before, and they are also the places where Xu Shanxin appeared and disappeared.
Xu Shanxin.
Yu Wuzhen.
Perhaps, Yu Naixu, there is no counter, and it is really the same treasure.
The seemingly chaotic clues are finally strung together.
"Xu Youzhen. ”
Wang Yan closed the ledger, put his hand on his temple to relieve fatigue, and even spit out a person's name in his mouth.
Although Wang Yan's tone was light, the gaze in his inky eyes was gloomy, and it seemed that his suspicions were really not wrong.
The character hidden behind these truths is really Xu Youzhen.
No wonder he couldn't find out about Xu Shanxin anyway, because if the head of the cabinet wanted to erase a person's existence without a trace, it was too easy, and that person was still himself.
"Huh. Wang Yan suddenly chuckled, Xu Shanxin, this person he had heard his grandfather mention it when he was a child, when he wanted to ask his grandfather for an official, but he was refused.
Originally......
All of this is nothing but wanton revenge with hatred!
Wang Yan's fists were clenched, and his forehead was even more faintly bruised, the old man who seemed to be kind and kind, the breeze on his sleeves was just an illusion, and his heart was extremely dirty, which made people feel disgusting.
Li Sheng was a little shocked to see it.
Just because these three words are too shocking.
When the head of the dynasty is Xu Youzhen, no matter how talented the younger generations are, they stand on all four legs, and the cabinet is always better, if Wang Yan is springing up after the rain and rising every day, then Xu Youzhen is a towering tree in the Ming Dynasty, which can not be shaken easily.
What's even more terrifying is that Xu Youzhen ......
It is almost impossible to investigate the means behind him, because most of the time he is idle in the mansion to raise flowers and birds, and he has rarely appeared in court in recent years, but he is just hanging the name of the first assistant of the cabinet.
However, this is the most frightening thing, obviously he doesn't do anything, and he can still control the whole situation.
"Overseer......"
Li Sheng also stayed up with Wang Yan for a night, "You...... What's next?"
Wang Yan glanced at the rising sun that came out of the sky, "No matter how strong it is, it can't withstand the cycle of cause and effect, no matter how turbulent the wind and rain are, it will eventually stop, even if it ...... He's the head of the cabinet!"
……
"Ming Yuan, the imperial examination is close at hand, what else do you not understand?"
Lu Lijiu was dressed in an ultramarine robe with a hosta hairpin on his head, even though he was now in a high position in the Ministry of War, he still liked his current outfit.
Many of his preferences have not changed due to time or other identity changes.
Fu Mingyuan bowed his body, and he respected Lu Lijiu from the heart, "Thank you for the teacher's teachings, the students feel that the mouth is suddenly opened, and the content that the teacher explains that needs to be memorized, is also reciting by heart." ”
Lu Lijiu nodded with satisfaction, even if Fu Mingyuan's mind is not smart, but he is diligent, the top three may be a little difficult, but the ranking of the latter is not impossible.
Lu Lijiu frowned slightly and said, "Among the four books, "Mencius" is the most obscure, if you want to understand all the truths in it, I'm afraid it will take a while, and you can't recite it forcibly, and then the palace test will become difficult." ”
"Rather than that, it's better to settle for the next best. ”
Lu Lijiu pointed to a few contents in the book and said, "Sometimes, give up appropriately, or move forward, "Mencius" does not understand, you have three other parts to study, and it is faster to spend your energy on feasible things, which is faster than a strong bow and crossbow." ”
Fu Mingyuan's eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized that during the last imperial examination, Fu Mingyuan was in a hurry to study the other three books because he focused on "Mencius", but "Mencius" did not understand, but delayed the time of other books.
Lu Lijiu's words were like an initiation.
The imperial examination is not only a test of Mencius, but also a good idea if there are unique insights in other aspects.
"Thank you for your advice!"
Lu Lijiu put his former codex in front of Fu Mingyuan, "These are the ones I used in the past, which can be regarded as a congratulatory gift to you, I hope you can have a good result." ”
Fu Mingyuan is like a treasure.
Lu Lijiu seemed to be a little hesitant.
"Teacher, is there anything else you need to tell the students?" Fu Mingyuan asked.
Lu Li pondered for a moment, then pondered and said, "I heard that the Fu family and the Shen family were a little involved?"
The smile on the corner of Fu Mingyuan's mouth froze on his face, it was about Fu Mingxian's reputation, but Lu Lijiu had always been the object of respect in his heart, he didn't want to hide it, and Lu Lijiu didn't look like a person who would talk nonsense about the reputation of a girl's family.
Fu Mingyuan thought for a while and then said truthfully, "I don't hide it from the teacher." ”
"Once my sister had a marriage contract with the third young master of the Shen family, but because of the matter of Shen Banshan, the grandfather of the Shen family, the marriage contract had to be dissolved, and the student ....... Fu Mingyuan was a little embarrassed, "The student doesn't want to deceive the teacher, but it's about my sister's ......reputation."
Lu Lijiu's clenched hands were released again, and his complexion softened a lot, "Don't worry, I'm just worried about whether it will affect your mood for the imperial examination." ”
"Master, it's not good!"
When Lu Lijiu was talking to Fu Mingyuan, Lanzhi suddenly rushed in crying, "Master...... Madame she ......"
Lu Lijiu stood up from his seat abruptly, "What the hell is going on?"
"Sir...... Let's go check it out......"
Laneige sat upright on the ground, unable to sob.
Lu Lijiu was a little flustered, glanced at Fu Mingyuan, and ran directly towards Zhao Wanrong's residence.
The room was filled with a pungent smell of blood, not even the smell of herbs.
Lu Lijiu suddenly paused, and his heart was even more flustered for no reason.
"Wan ...... Wanrong ......"
Zhao Wanrong's clothes behind the green gauze curtain were soaked with blood, her face was even whiter, her hands were weakly prostrate on the bed, and there was a large pool of blood on the ground.
Zhao Wanrong opened his eyes with great effort, and saw Lu Lijiu's figure suddenly tears slid down from the corners of his eyes, "Long." ”
Zhao Wanrong muttered softly.
Lu Lijiu had already stepped forward quickly, and she held it in her arms, "Why, why did you never speak." ”
"You're already so sick. ”
Lu Lijiu's voice was a little hoarse, but Zhao Wanrong smiled with satisfaction, shaking his head hard, "I know, it's too late." ”
"Now that it's ...... It's too late, so why bother you!"
Zhao Wanrong's voice was crying, "It's been a long time...... I think...... I want to ask you. ”
"Do you hate me!"
hates her meddling back then, otherwise who knows if Fu Mingxian will be tempted by him, after all...... Lu Lijiu is so good.
Lu Lijiu pursed his lips and was silent.
Hate?
He has always been very good at suppressing his emotions, and his parents have died since he was a child, but he is left alone, except for ......
Zhao Wanrong looked at Lu Lijiu with teary eyes, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I know that you like Mingxian, but I still insist on marrying you." ”
"If so...... If I had argued with my mother, there would not have been a time for you to marry me!"
Ahem......
The blood on the corner of Zhao Wanrong's mouth couldn't stop flowing out, and it fell with tears, "I am...... Really like you. ”
"Lasting. ”
Zhao Wanrong suddenly raised her head and didn't want to see Lu Lijiu's appearance clearly, she slowly stroked Lu Lijiu's face with her hands, "Fu ...... Miss Fu is really like Mingxian. ”
"It's not...... It's not because it looks like ......"
Zhao Wanrong seemed to use all the strength of her body, "It's character and demeanor,...... Especially those eyes. ”
"When I die...... Marry her. A faint smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Wanrong's mouth, slowly closed his eyes, and tears slipped from his eyes, "It's just ...... I'm going to wronged her to be a steproom, but ...... If you really like it, I can feel a little less guilty in my heart......"
"Madame......" Laneige's screams echoed in his ears.
Lu Lijiu's body stiffened.
Fu Mingyuan, who followed behind Lu Lijiu, looked at the scene in the room and stiffened, and his mouth seemed to be blocked by something. (To be continued.) )
