Wait, who was the secretary of the criminal department back then?

Ren Xiaohang quickly turned out the files of the Ministry of Officials in his mind, fifteen years ago, the name of Kong Xuanhan, who was the secretary of the Criminal Department at the time, turned out to be the father-in-law of the second prince and the father-in-law of Meng Diquan, the current secretary of the Ministry of War. However, the second prince Jiang Junhong is only twenty-five years old this year, fifteen years ago Jiang Junhong was only ten years old, and Meng Qianqian, the eldest daughter of the Meng family, is only five years old. At that time, the emperor had not yet been married, and the Meng family and the second prince had not yet married. So, the fifth prince will Junzhang secretly investigate the past fifteen years ago, and it should have nothing to do with the second prince, why did the second prince Junhong kill the fifth prince? Could it be that Concubine Shu joined forces with the Meng family fifteen years ago? Isn't that scary? What did you frame the Ouyang family for fifteen years ago, just for military power? But now the military power is not in the hands of the Meng family, right?

Ren Xiaohang was puzzled.

Seeing Ren Xiaohang's thoughtful expression, Jiang Junzhang asked, "What did you think of?" ”

Ren Xiaohang said what he thought of Kong Xuanhan just now and what he didn't understand.

Jiang Junzhang thought about it carefully and said: "Is there a possibility that the eldest daughter of the Meng family was chosen by the father and the emperor to marry the second prince under the reminder of someone with a heart?" ”

Ren Xiaohang said puzzledly: "Even if this is the case, what is their purpose?" ”

Not to mention Ren Xiaohang and Jiang Junzhang's speculation and analysis in the restaurant, the Sun family mentioned by them at this time was a different scene.

The ancestral house of the Sun family is located in the northeast corner of Shiyan Town, backed by Dalingzi Mountain, which stretches for hundreds of miles, covering an area of about 100 acres. The whole ancestral house is composed of the lower courtyard, the middle courtyard and the upper courtyard, surrounded by a blue brick courtyard wall as high as two zhang thick, and the four corners of the courtyard wall are also built with a strong castle that is higher than the courtyard wall, and there are guards and patrols in the castle for twelve hours. The entire ancestral house of the Sun family is really impregnable, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

It is said that Sun Shimiao, the ancestor of the Sun family, is also Sun Weizhong's great-grandfather, who once served as a county official in Qipin in a certain place in the south. It was that he was only a teenager, not yet married, and was a famous prodigy at the time. Later, a group of bandits came out of nowhere, and the county government was washed in blood, and Sun Shimiao was dying. Except for Sun Shimiao, no one in the Sun family survived.

Sun Shimiao saw through his career and resigned from his official position and returned to his hometown ancestral home. At that time, the ancestral house was dilapidated, and the people who guarded the ancestral house were gone. Sun Shimiao went from being penniless to earning a piece of family business, and tasted all the ups and downs. It is said that Sun Shimiao has done everything, is practical and capable, and is willing to pay for hard work. He put down the shelf of a scholar, treated everyone equally, was modest, honest to others, and was able to quickly earn a lot of family business, which was inseparable from his personality.

In the generation of Sun Weizhong's grandfather Sun Mingyuan, he also passed the Xiucai examination, but he didn't pass the examination after trying a few times, so he had to give up and go home to keep the success.

Sun Weizhong's father, Sun Wenchao, did not even get into Xiucai, and Sun Weizhong's grandfather was disappointed and pinned all his hopes on Sun Weizhong. Sun Weizhong lived up to his grandfather's hopes, at the age of fifteen, he went all the way from showing talent and lifting people, and one was admitted to the Jinshi, and his grandfather was so happy that he smiled all day long, only saying that God opened his eyes, and finally let the Sun family change the court.

But Sun Weizhong encountered unprecedented resistance when sending officials, and no one in the court made him hit a wall everywhere, and he didn't know where to use the silver. When he was anxious, the Meng family extended an olive branch to him, married him the concubine of the Meng family's side branch, and soon had an official position.

It's just that for some reason, at the end of his three-year term, he returned to his hometown with his wife and children, claiming to inherit the ancestral business.

Since then, he has never been out of office, and he has been running his ancestral business at home wholeheartedly. The Sun family's property has also doubled several times in more than ten years.

At this time, in the east room of the three main houses in the courtyard of the Sun family, the purple veil hung low, and a finely carved jade-inlaid tooth bed was placed in the middle of the room, the bed was embroidered with brocade quilts, and the small incense sachet was hung on the curtain hook on the bedside, and the room exuded a faint fragrance. The walls and roof are covered with purple embroidered brocade, which is warm and welcoming.

The furnishings in the house are all used by the girls in the boudoir, which is luxurious and tasteful.

At this time, Sun Yanjun, the owner of the house, hurriedly walked in with a somewhat stiff smile on his face. She sat down on the bed, and the smile on her face was immediately replaced by cruelty.

Just now, her father, Sun Weizhong, called her and reprimanded her fiercely, saying that she was narrow-minded and could not tolerate people, and only cared about some trivial things, and actually made trouble for him. said that she is like this, how can she be worthy of the second prince?

"Look at what you've done? What's the name of a poor girl? You have been like this since you were a child, you will not forgive others when they touch you and disobey you. I thought that your temperament would change for the better when you grew up, but I didn't expect it to become more and more unscrupulous. In Shiyan Town, the Sun family can still cover you, and when you go to the capital in the future, you will have to rely on yourself. How can I rest assured that you look like this? ”

"I will be the second prince's concubine in the future!"

"You also know that you are the second prince's concubine, but you still have a concubine on your head! You're still like this, and you don't know how you're going to die! ”

"She dares! If so, I don't know whose hand the deer will die. ”

"Shut up! It seems that you have been taught repeatedly, and that's how your discipline mama taught you? Go back and be grounded for a month, copy the female ring a hundred times! ”

Sun Yanjun sat on the bed, her father's reprimand was still in her ears, which made her very angry.

What's wrong with her? Why did that poor girl teach her? She deserves to be taught a lesson. While she was angry, she was very unwilling.

In this family, in the eyes of outsiders, the father listens to the mother, and only she knows that the mother acts according to the father's face. In the eyes of her mother, only her father and two younger brothers never really cared about her.

My father is even more so, except for the family business or the family business in his eyes, he has never seen a smile on his face.

To tell the truth, don't look at her father's gentle and elegant appearance, she doesn't know why she has been afraid of her father since she was a child, and when she saw him, she trembled in her heart.

Only the nurse is sincere to her. Since she was a child, the nurse told her that she was a princess at home and should enjoy the treatment of a princess. In the town, she is the overlord, and she should say the same. Whoever disobeys her will be killed. The first time, she really did it, and her father was so angry that he scolded her, but he still helped her get better. The second and third times her father was also angry, but he still helped her eliminate all traces. The nurse also told her to maintain a ladylike demeanor in front of people and not to lose her temper. If you want to take revenge, you can also settle accounts afterwards.

It's just that what she doesn't know is that every accident will be reported after the fact, whether it is a human life or a serious injury. The Sun family also traced it, but they couldn't find any clues, and in the end they had no choice but to give up.

Therefore, Sun Yanjun's reputation for being ruthless will spread in the town, and everyone is afraid of the power of the Sun family and dare not speak out, but behind the scenes, Sun Yanjun's reputation has long been notorious.

In the Qingzhu Garden, where Sun Yanjun lives, there are two rows of green brick and green tile wings, and Sun Yanjun's nurse lives in the east wing.

At this time, the nurse Jiang sat alone on the wooden bed in the room, unconsciously touching the belly pocket worn by a boy in her hand, her face was no longer a generous smile in front of people, and the monstrous hatred in her eyes was enough to destroy the whole world.

She said sneeringly, saying words that only she could hear clearly: "Xiaobao, how can my mother avenge you?" It's too cheap to kill her, I'm going to ruin her! I'm going to make her worse than dead! Even so, it can't be exhausted from the hatred in my heart! ”
