"Is that position really that important?" Xinglan asked, how many people have ended miserably for that position since ancient times, how many people are worried every day, and even the people who sleep next to their pillows cannot be trusted. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Sometimes it's not that you don't want to. Dong Ling Zhixuan said in a deep voice. In that position, even if you don't do anything, others will treat you as an opponent, and it's impossible to be alone.

"Who is it?" Xinglan wondered who was making him so upset.

"Steward Wu. ”

"How is that possible!" Xinglan asked in surprise, she had thought about many people, but she had never thought that it was Steward Wu.

Steward Wu entered the mansion when he was very young, and when the old Duan King was there, he valued him very much, not only let him be in charge of the mansion, but also let him marry the concubine of the distant cousin of the princess, and never regarded him as a slave. Xinglan remembered the scene when the old Duanwang kowtowed to his stepmother before the death of the old Duanwang, and he really had a deep affection for Duanwang.

He is just a house slave, and it is a great honor to have a relationship with the princess, and coupled with the trust of King Duan, his status in the palace can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person, and his conditions are much better than those of many local petty officials.

Dong Ling Zhixuan also trusted him after he took the throne, and there was no reason for such a person to betray Dong Ling Zhixuan.

Xinglan would think like this, and Dongling Zhixuan must have thought this way, so there would be such a big emotion when things happened.

"Do you remember the list that Dong Linghan asked you to steal. Dong Ling Zhixuan asked.

Xinglan nodded, of course she remembered that the look in Dongling Zhixuan when he was about to kill herself was still fresh in her memory.

"Do you know how important that list is. Dong Ling Zhixuan said with a sullen head.

Xinglan nodded again, although she didn't know what was written on the list, she knew its importance just by seeing that Dong Ling Zhixuan and Dong Ling Han attached so much importance to it.

"That list is a list of people that the king sent someone to secretly investigate for a year before sorting out a list of personnel. The records on the list are all networks of people who were secretly sent by Dong Linghan to sell illicit salt in Jiangnan. This is his main source of money, and once this king makes a move, it is equivalent to demolishing half of his country. If that's the case, what qualifications does he have to fight with this king. "Such an important matter, Xinglan didn't expect Dongling Zhixuan to say it to her.

But now that you have the list, why not do it, it's been more than a month since you calculate the time.

"Do you know why this king didn't do it? First, the implication is too wide, there are too many officials, and there is too little evidence in the hands of this king. The so-called pulling a trigger to move the whole body, no matter what goes wrong in any detail, will cause immeasurable losses. The second is that although the emperor allowed a few of us to fight in private, even if the king overthrew Dong Linghan, he also fell into a charge of killing the emperor's uncle, and cheapened Dong Lingxu in vain. Dongling Zhixuan analyzed. 、

Xinglan listened carefully, "But this doesn't give Dong Linghan enough time to solve this matter. ”

"The only thing he can do is kill all the people who have been exposed, and then shrink his power and wait for the right time. For this king, this result is already very good, although he can't fall, but it also hurts his vitality. Dong Ling Zhixuan said.

Xinglan poured him a cup of tea, and then asked, "What does this have to do with Steward Wu?"

"The list is in the hands of this king, he doesn't dare to act rashly, the last time you didn't succeed in stealing the list, they wanted to arrest the old and young of the Wu housekeeper's family and threatened him to steal the list. When the steward did not comply, they killed his wife, sent the head to his house, and killed his only son if he could not get the list. In fact, by this time, the list is not so important. The king had been waiting for him to come to him, but he didn't. He has been in the palace for so many years, and this king trusts him so much that he can't bear to let him die, so let him take the list away. Unexpectedly, he died in front of his father's tomb the next day. Dong Ling Zhixuan said in a deep voice.

It's shameless to face Dongling Zhixuan, and it's even more ashamed of the old Duanwang, so I think about dying.

At this time, Xinglan didn't know how to comfort him, and hugged him with his backhand. Dong Ling Zhixuan buried in her chest, enjoying the tranquility of this moment.

Xinglan didn't know when she fell asleep, she was asleep in bed when she woke up, and she didn't know when Dongling Zhixuan left.

As soon as Xinglan got up, Ah Song pushed the door and came in, and while lifting the bed curtain, he said, "Miss, the second lady has already sent a maid over, saying that she will let the young lady go to Nanyuan later." ”

"Hmm!" Xinglan responded, thinking that Zeng Yun would drag on for a few days, but he didn't expect to make a move so soon.

Gongsun Lu in Nanyuan was losing her temper, she swept the jewelry on the dresser to the ground, and slapped the maid next to her in the face with her backhand, so hard that the corners of the maid's mouth were bloodshot.

"Fool, I can't even get my hair right, take her down to my mouth, and Miss Ben won't want to see her again." Gongsun Lu angrily pressed this sore scalp, Gongsun Xinglan bullied her, but she didn't expect a maid to dare not take her in her eyes.

Zeng Yun came in from the outside, and saw the old mother pulling the maid out, "Madame! The maid knew that Sun Lu was gone, and seeing Zeng Yun was like seeing a life-saving straw.

If it had been placed in the past, Zeng Yun might have been punished lightly, but in the past two days, their mother and daughter were upset by Xinglan, and she was not in the mood to pay attention to these little things.

"Mother, take a look, these cheap hooves must have heard the wind somewhere, this grandson Xinglan is not in charge yet, so he doesn't care about it. Gongsun Lu angrily pointed to the kneeling maid in the room and said.

"Lu'er, let's be confused!What nonsense are you talking about1" Zeng Yun is not as stupid as Gongsun Lu, even if it is the people in her yard, she is not at ease, the so-called partition wall has ears, and it is not good for them to spread such words to Gongsun Nan's ears.

Gongsun Lu was scolded by her mother, and she was aggrieved and didn't speak, Zeng Yun asked her subordinates to step down, and then picked up a comb and carefully combed Gongsun Lu's hair.

"You have to calm down, you know!" Zeng Yun neatly helped her tie up her hair in a bun, looking at the beautiful face in the bronze mirror, her daughter should not be mediocre.

"Mother, do we really need to show her the ledger?" Once they find out that they have embezzled their property, they are finished.

"Rest assured. "They will never see the real ledger.
