Chapter 401: Preparation

Chu Lingxuan shook his head and said, "This position is too good, there are many people competing for it, including the second prince and the third prince. The father-in-law is in the way of those people, and they will definitely find something to fix the father-in-law. It's okay if the father-in-law doesn't have a handle, but the father-in-law not only has a handle, but the people in his hometown are basically well-known, and he can't stop the mouths of the people at all. After a pause, he said, "Now some people have begun to impeach my father-in-law, saying that my father-in-law will divorce his wife as soon as he is promoted, and stop his wife and remarry." accepted a large amount of bribes, and within three months, he bought hundreds of acres of land and a four-entry house in the county seat. also connived at the Zhao family's pro-fish and meat township, causing several families to be ruined and displaced, and so on. If it is involved in the matter of his father-in-law being an official in Jiangnan, it will be even more troublesome. ”

Chen Afu was so shocked that his hair was about to stand on end, and asked, "My father will be fine, right?"

Chu Lingxuan held her hand and said, "Don't worry, there will be a way." ”

Chen Afu was flustered. Not to mention the affairs of Jiangnan, Chen Shiyingzhi's things were turned out enough for him to drink a pot. Now, she has regarded Chen Shiying's father as her own father, and she is reluctant to make him sad, let alone want him to have an accident. He is only in his thirties, and he is in the prime of life, what should he do if something happens? And the family, the infatuated Jiang family, the brother Chao who has just been born, what should they do?

Chu Lingxuan pulled her to the edge of the bed and sat down, and said, "The senior waiter of the Ministry of Industry is very old, and he said that he would resign half a year ago, and we always thought that if the emperor reused his father-in-law, he would definitely let him take this position." Two months ago, Zhang Cifu died of a sudden illness, and the original secretary made up for the second assistant, and Huang Shilang made up for the book, vacating the vacancy of the waiter. The emperor originally admired his father-in-law, but later knew that his father-in-law's daughter was Xiao Eleven's biological mother, my daughter-in-law, and perhaps wanted to give this important lack to his father-in-law...... Hey, it's a pity that my father-in-law was killed by the wicked woman of the Zhao family, so he left a handle. My father-in-law is usually very good at being a person, and some people won't say much even if they know his past, but this time he blocked the way of others, and people will make a fuss about those things. In order to completely beat his father-in-law, he may go to Jiangnan to collect evidence of his father-in-law's crime......"

Dingzhou is not far from the capital, only more than 200 miles. Chen Shiying is also a celebrity here, and many of his things are the talk of the common people, and many officials must know about it. The things that Mrs. Chen did were a time bomb, and she didn't know when it would explode.

Perhaps Chen Shiying also knows these "stains" on him, he is usually very tactful, and his official career is also very smooth.

But this time, he wanted to do practical things for the people too much, and he was too high-profile, which hindered the eyes of others. In addition, the position that the emperor wanted him to hold was high and powerful, and he blocked the way of others, so people lifted out his old bottom.

"My dad won't be fine, right?" asked Chen Afu.

Chu Lingxuan said, "The matter of the father-in-law's divorce from his wife after the middle lift, even if it is confirmed, it is only a loss of virtue, and it will not be a big deal." Besides, this was not done by his father-in-law, he was still young at the time, and your father-in-law did not know about the fact that your mother's daughter-in-law did not go to the county government, and your father-in-law was not at home when your mother was kicked out of the house. I'm afraid that my father-in-law won't tell the truth for the sake of filial piety and will bear the blame for the old wicked woman. ”

"How can that be done! The evil old woman did a sin, which harmed my mother and me, and now it hurts my father. I can't let my father take the blame for her. Chen Afu said.

Chu Lingxuan nodded, "Of course." We know this thing best, my father-in-law doesn't say it, I will let someone else say it for him. He added, "Buying the fields in the countryside and the Sijin house in the county seat, the money was given by the Tang family and accepted by the Zhao family, and my father-in-law didn't know about it." None of these things can be completely blamed on the father-in-law, at most the father-in-law is not effective in supervising the family. Fortunately, the father-in-law took action last year to dispose of the Zhao family's evildoers, and returned the money and land of their neighbors. Otherwise, the father-in-law couldn't speak clearly. ”

Chen Afu said again, "What about my father's official position in Jiangnan? My father will not be corrupt." ”

She said this with a little lack of confidence. His father was born in a poor family, and now he has a lot of money.

What Chu Lingxuan was most afraid of was Chen Shiying's official status in Jiangnan. Moreover, he knew very little about Chen Shiying's affairs in Jiangnan, and he didn't know when those people went to Jiangnan to collect criminal evidence and what they collected.

He said thoughtfully, "My father-in-law is cautious and fair-minded, and he shouldn't do anything corrupt or bend the law." My mother-in-law's original dowry can be described as ten miles of red makeup, and I am ice and snow smart, so it is possible to make a lot of money in business. There is also the Tang family, in order for the girl to be able to live well in the Chen family, it is normal to send money and gifts. Take 10,000 steps back and say, my father-in-law really did something inappropriate, he is so smart, and he cherishes his official reputation, and he will not leave a handle. I'm afraid that the Zhao family or the Tang family will do something illegal behind their father-in-law's back......"

After Chen Afu calmed down, he thought the same thing. Chen Shiying is cautious, he has always wanted to be a good official, and he is also worthy of the four words of fairness. Although his money gathers quickly, it may be possible to play a side game, but he will definitely not embezzle. Moreover, there is no handle left. Chu Lingxuan was right, the two major sources of his wealth must be the Jiang family and the Tang family. However, if he doesn't do bad things, it doesn't mean that the bad old woman and the Tang family don't do bad things, or that the Tang family does bad things under his banner.

She didn't quite understand the laws of this era and asked, "What will happen to my father at best, and what will happen to me at worst?"

Chu Lingxuan thought for a while and said, "Putting aside the matter in Jiangnan, although your father is not effective in supervising his family, the promotion of high-yield grain is obvious to all, and no one can erase this feat, and no one can take it away." The best result is to be reprimanded by the emperor and still serve as the prefect of Dingzhou. The worst result is to sit on the virtue and lose it, conniving at the mother to abandon the wife, accepting bribes, and taking the position to the end...... As for the matter in Jiangnan, we are all speculating, and we really don't know what will happen. Tomorrow you go back to your mother's house and ask your mother-in-law, if there is something for her to tell her, let's prepare early......"

Chen Afu pulled Chu Lingxuan and said, "Lingxuan, you must help my father." Now, only your Chu family and your uncle Luo's family can help my father...... Oh, by the way, and the Nine Emperor Princes, Lord Rui. They owe me a great favor, and they have to help. ”

Chu Lingxuan nodded and said, "I'm going to go to Shizhou Mansion tomorrow to find my uncle, he is my father-in-law's immediate boss, and his attitude is very important." I will write to the third uncle and Lord Rui again, and ask Uncle Luo to send the letter, he knows his father-in-law's past best, and he can't let his father-in-law take the blame for that evil woman. Before his father-in-law had nothing to do, he asked Uncle Luo to run in the capital. The Nine Emperors don't need us to say it, he will also speak well for his father-in-law in front of the emperor in private. However, the Chu family and the Nine Emperor Princes cannot intercede for their father-in-law in public, because as long as we intercede, the Second Prince and the Party will definitely oppose it even more clearly. In this way, the father-in-law will have more enemies and it will be against him. If the father-in-law does not commit any crimes in Jiangnan, I hope that the father-in-law can offset the merits, not to mention keeping his original position, even if he is reduced to the seventh grade, he will ......be able to recover in the future."
