Chapter 825: Standing Tall
When Zhao Jing'er heard this, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, nodded again and again, and said: "Okay! Let Liu Jinfeng fight, I still have some confidence in him, if he knows that the emperor is going to marry me and Zhou Tianxing, he will definitely go to the palace to ask the emperor to change his mind......"
Xing Xirong wrinkled her eyebrows and looked at her daughter, who didn't know what she was ashamed of, and said in a low voice: "Jing'er, Hugh has to talk nonsense in front of your grandfather and father. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Look at you, where do you look like a lady? It's really a shame for my mother!"
Zhao Jing'er's face turned red, she immediately lowered her head, and muttered: "My daughter is not one of those pretentious young ladies, my daughter is a ...... of the tiger girl."
Xing Xirong was so angry that he twisted Zhao Jing'er's arm, gritted his teeth and whispered: "You shut up for me!
Zhao Fengwen also shook his head helplessly, and said with a straight face: "Today's matter, no matter what, your mother and daughter did something wrong, I understand that I have to go to Qin Laoshangshu to apologize and ask for the guilt." From this moment on, Jing'er will not be allowed to go out of the house again, follow your mother to learn Nuhong, and then follow your aunt to learn to take charge of housework. You're about to get married, but you don't know what a girl should know, and you don't even understand the rules. In the future, no matter which house you marry in, won't you have to disgrace us as parents?"
Zhao Jing'er's head hung lower, nodded heavily, and said: "Father's lesson is that from now on, Jing'er will definitely not go out of the gate, and will not step out of the second door, follow the rules of the eldest aunt, and never disgrace her father and mother in the future." ”
Zhao Fengwen saw that his daughter was so well-behaved, he didn't talk back to him at all, but felt a little strange, and couldn't help but look at Lin Wan, and said secretly, if it is close to Zhu Zhechi! This child has often been with Wan'er these days, but he has become more practical.
Zhao Zhengxiang nodded and ordered: "Xirong, Feng Wen and I still have something to say to Wan'er, you take Jing'er back first." ”
"Yes, father!" Xing Xirong curtsied and walked out of the study with Zhao Jing'er.
Lin Wan looked at Zhao Zhengxiang suspiciously, frowned and asked, "Grandpa, has something happened?"
Zhao Zhengxiang shook his head slightly and said, "It's not a big deal." As Feng Wen mentioned just now, there are now several officials in the household department who are involved in several corruption cases. But they are all just people who do things below, although they have made some small profits, but the person who has made the most profit behind them is, of course, Qin Lizhong. Now our criminal department has some evidence, but it is not enough for the emperor to convict him. If we can't move his roots, of course we won't act rashly. ”
Lin Wan thought for a while and said, "The last time Xingmin Street happened, the emperor was already very dissatisfied with Qin Lizhong and Lu Zhenwei, if he could catch him this time, he would be punished." Then, it must be a very big blow to the Lu family. ”
Zhao Zhengxiang nodded, twisted his eyebrows and said: "Over the years, Qin Lizhong has been very close to the Lu Guogong Mansion, and it is precisely because of the relationship between the Lu family that he has been able to stand tall in the important position of the household department for so many years. Because of this, it is not easy for us to bring him down. ”
Lin Wan smiled slightly, shook his head, and said, "Grandpa, if we want to bring down Qin Lizhong and the Lu Guo Mansion, of course it will not be easy. However, what if the emperor wants to use our hand to attack the Lu family? Wouldn't that be easy?"
Zhao Zhengxiang thought about it, nodded, and said, "The emperor has long been dissatisfied with the Lu family, and he is also quite displeased with Qin Lizhong. However, the emperor has not thought about moving the Lu family for so many years, how do you know that the emperor wants to attack the Lu family now?"
Lin Wan hooked his lips and smiled, and said, "Grandpa, for so many years, the emperor has not touched the Lu family, because he is not completely sure. Moreover, the Queen Mother has been very low-key over the years and has not blatantly interfered in political affairs, so the emperor can still be patient. But recently, the queen mother's hand has been stretched longer and longer, and the emperor will naturally not allow anyone to threaten his imperial power. For the Queen Mother and the Lu family, the emperor has endured it for a long time, and now that there is such a good opportunity to get rid of the Lu family's biggest minions, the emperor will naturally not let it go. ”
Zhao Fengwen also nodded and said to Zhao Zhengxiang: "Father, I also think what Wan'er said is feasible. In fact, a few days ago, Han'er had already looked for me privately. Han'er said that although he didn't stay in the household department for a long time, he also discovered some secrets that the household department did not know. A large part of the reason why he approached Miss Qin Jialiu during this time was to search for Qin Lizhong's incriminating evidence. If he can really find conclusive evidence, then if he wants to bring down Qin Lizhong this time, he will be foolproof. ”
Zhao Zhengxiang frowned and asked, "What secret did Han'er discover about the household?"
Zhao Fengwen nodded, and said: "Han'er found that many of the industries and silver taels in the current accounts of the household department are actually no longer in the treasury. It was precisely because Wan'er discovered Xingmin Street last time that it attracted Han'er's attention. Because of that Xingmin Street, in the accounts of the household department, that Xingmin Street still belongs to the state, but in fact, it has been sold to Lu Zhenwei. After being known by the emperor, Qin Lizhong didn't dare to say that he sold Xingmin Street to Lu Zhenwei, but only said that it was rented to him, so he was able to take Xingmin Street back so quickly this time. The Lu family suffered a dumb loss this time, but they didn't dare to say it. ”
Lin Wan frowned and thought for a while, and asked, "Then how can Brother Xing find evidence? If the emperor is allowed to check the treasury once, will all the secrets of the household department not be able to hide?"
Zhao Fengwen nodded and said, "Han'er said that Liu Zhicheng, the left attendant of the household department, has been following Qin Li for decades, and all the account books are in his hands. As long as you can get the account book, you can convict Qin Lizhong, and you can also ask the emperor to order a thorough investigation of the household department. However, it is not easy to get the ledger. ”
Lin Wan smiled and nodded, and said, "Grandpa, second uncle, I know how to do it, leave this matter to me and Brother Xing." With Brother Xing's help, we should work together inside and outside, are we afraid that we won't be able to get an account book?"
Zhao Zhengxiang no longer asked Lin Wan what he planned to do, nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll suppress these cases from the Criminal Department first, and then handle them together when you get the account books." This time, we must let Qin Lizhong, an old moth, confess his sins and subdue the law together with those little moths under him!"
Lin Wan thought for a while and said: "This matter is not urgent, don't startle the snake, it is best to wait for the queen mother's birthday banquet before reporting to the emperor." Otherwise, the emperor may be restrained because the queen mother's birthday is imminent, and he will not dare to tear his face with the queen mother. After the birthday banquet was over, the emperor could use this matter to give the queen mother a warning. ”
Zhao Zhengxiang and Zhao Fengwen both smiled and nodded, looking at Lin Wan's eyes full of appreciation.
