108. Wrath
Xu Xun is crying, can Liu Zhien not tell the truth? He slowly withdrew his hand, moved away from the kang, and knelt down in front of Xu Xun.
"Slave and maid are guilty of death." Kowtowed first, Fang continued, "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just a little bit different...... The commanding lady, the fourth cousin of the lady's noble cousin, is now in the human flesh and skin business. Uncle Wutang also has strong buying and selling in Nanjing and Wuxi, and occupies a lot of ......"
When he told the truth, Xu Xun calmed down, her red eyes stared at Liu Zhien deadly, and after a while, Fang said, "You mean, my uncle, my uncle is fine?" β
"Several of my relatives are funded by the government, and they also have no worries about food and clothing." Liu Zhien hurriedly said, "Niangniang's uncle is reluctant to leave Nanjing, because he wants to support Mrs. Tai. As for the two uncles, although they also have the intention of doing business, they were persuaded, according to the slave maid, these are close relatives, and the control is strict, that is, those distant relatives, who have never had contacts, and now the lady and the old man are in Beijing, and the whip is beyond their reach, and they don't know anything about what they do. β
Xu Xun exhaled a long breath, and his heart beat wildly, and then he slowly quieted down: if it was really her in-law's uncle and uncle who were doing nonsense outside, Mrs. Xu didn't say a word, and comforted her with good words. That...... Then Xu Xunzhen didn't know what to do, what to think. Just now. Her entire shijie was almost shattered to ashes.
Now that I have calmed down, I am not so flustered, but when I think about it again, I am more and more angry: if my closest relatives are swaggering and deceiving her in the name of her, although it is also bad, but after all, it is a close relative, and there is nothing to say. What are the fourth cousins and fifth cousins, Xu Xun doesn't remember whether he has met them or not. They do bad things, they are using Xu Xun's reputation to pay, can she be willing?
Besides, Liu Zhien and Zhang Guifei both knew about this matter, Zhang Guifei didn't talk about it first, it is estimated that the Zhang family knew that the two had a good relationship, so they gave Zhang Guifei a mouthful - the Zhang family still has a family in Nanjing. But where did Yoo Ji-eun's old relationship come from? Those close attendants around the emperor! Even these close servants know, maybe the emperor also knows?
Thinking that he was still worried about the victims in Yunnan, Xu Xun couldn't wait to stuff his head into the kang cave and never come out to see anyone again. The emperor may have laughed at her in his heart at that time, her own family was a mess, and she still had to sympathize with the victims in such a fake way......
Even if this human trafficking makes a living in a green house, Xu Xun doesn't know about it, but how come she hasn't experienced such a thing as Haoqiang occupying an area? If it weren't for Mr. Xu's talent and fame, he would be more or less a local squire, and he had a good relationship with Zhao Juren, but I was afraid that their family's land would inevitably be bought at a very low price. In the years that Xu Xun remembered, after the arrival of several county magistrates, family members came out to buy land, and for two days of thirty taels of silver per acre, the county magistrate's family was very conscientious when they came out to fifteen taels and one acre. If you go up to the top official's house to buy it, you will have it to open up to two or two acres! The most direct consequence of forced buying and selling is that the people who originally lived and worked in peace and contentment were instantly reduced to poor tenants who had to sell their children and daughters in order to survive...... If it was a little more miserable, if it offended Shangguan's house slaves, the whole family would disappear overnight.
The area around Yuhuatai is close to Nanjing, and there is no such thing. Tangshan is a mountain col, there has been such a thing, a family because of the sale of the field, offended I don't know which big family, the family went to the neighboring village to eat wine disappeared, reported to the county, the result of the county's zuihou research was washed away by the torrent. Xu Xun was in Tangshan when this incident happened, and he was so afraid that he didn't sleep well for a few nights, and secretly scolded with the adults behind his back: The dog official who suffered a thousand knives, when it comes to the time when you will be punished in the underworld!
Now, someone is going to do such a thing in her name! Xu Xun thought about it, she hated to crush the silver teeth, she wanted to have a sword, she really pulled it out and went to the house of those two damn cousins and cousins.
"Human trafficking, open a green building......" she barely suppressed her anger, and asked Liu Zhien again, "I don't think about the dirty thing of forcing Liang to become a prostitute?" I don't understand this, so I have to tell me. β
Liu Zhien has said enough, he pushed it cleanly, "The slave maid has been clean since she was a child, and she always grew up in the palace, and she doesn't know anything about this matter......"
Xu Xun had no choice but to sit and sulk, Liu Zhien saw that she had calmed down, so he said, "In the foolish opinion of the slave maid, Niangniang might as well move her relatives to live in Beijing, and the affairs in Nanjing have little to do with Niangniang." After all, you are a concubine of the country, and there are many villains who use your name to make profits, even if the emperor knows about it, it will not depend on you-"
"No way!" Xu Xun's anger came up again, "I'm such a haode person, how can I be tired of these scoundrels who have never even met in person!" ββYou go to the Qianqing Palace to find out the news, and ask Wang Jin to give you a message, just say that I miss the eldest brother, and I will go and tell the eldest brother about this matter myself! β
Liu Zhien wanted to speak and stopped, it seemed that she didn't agree with Xu Xun's idea very much, but Xu Xun was iron-hearted this time, she glared at Liu Zhien, "Don't go quickly!" β
Liu Zhien had no choice, so he had to respond respectfully and go to the Qianqing Palace to send a message.
#
There are very few close attendants in the Qianqing Palace, and there are very few who have no relationship with Xu Xun, at least they are also familiar with each other, Xu Xun has a good reputation among the inner attendants, who is not willing to pass on the word? Wang Jin was not on duty, and Jin Ying handed him this word, "Liu Zhien's kid, he was outside to probe his brain, and the slave maid came in just now and took him down for interrogation......"
Xu Xun had never done this kind of thing before, and it was precisely because of this that the emperor put Liu Zhien by her side. He felt that Xu Xun was too stupid, if he didn't have an inner guard who could have casual contact with the people around him, he wouldn't know what to say in front of him even if he was wronged.
I heard that Xu Xun wanted to ask for a meeting, and the emperor saw that Zuihou had also approved half of the batch of folds, and then it was annual leave, so he said, "Send someone to pick her up, this little girl will pick the opportunity, and I don't know if it's weishenme coming." β
Yesterday, my mother's family just entered the Hajj, and I will see you today, most of the time it is for the sake of my mother's family, but it may not be so anxious, not to mention the emperor, even Jin Ying has a trace of curiosity, he went for a long time, and led a crying Concubine Zhuang into the Qianqing Palace.
"Big brother." Xu Xun's tears really weren't squeezed out, the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, the more angry she became, feeling that her family had been bullied, and now she was at a point where she couldn't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River. When she saw the emperor, she cried even more violently, which caught the emperor off guard.
If someone else, even Concubine He Hui, came to cry to show him, the emperor would inevitably feel bad luck in his heart - what tears did he shed under the New Year? I don't know what kind of heart it is. But Xu Xun's crying made the emperor feel distressed. This honest child will never be deliberately pretentious, and he must have been wronged so that he came to find her.
I'm afraid that no one in this palace will be angry with her, could it be that someone outside the palace bullied her mother's family?
While instinctively thinking about the reason, he hurriedly hugged Xu Xun into his arms and coaxed him like a child, while the emperor glanced at Liu Zhien, who came in with him.
Liu Zhien's smile was a little helpless, he also understood that Xu Xun was angry now, and the matter was unclear, so he knelt down and tried his best to explain the little thing that Xu Xunniang's family had done, and specially emphasized, "Niangniang has not seen these two relatives very much......"
Xu Xun nestled in the emperor's arms, wiped his eyes, his nasal voice was thick, and he couldn't wait to say, "Big brother, arrest them!" Punish severely! β
When the emperor heard this, he exchanged a look with Liu Zhien, and both of them had a little smile in their eyes: they were amused by Xu Xun.
He waved his hand, and the chamberlains withdrew from the room in amusement, and the emperor had time to spare, and he decided to raise his concubine Zhuang himself. "Silly boy, what a big deal, can I still misunderstand you because of this? Stop crying. β
Xu Xunxin, this time she really didn't cry because she was afraid, "I just can't swallow this breath!" I'm such a haode person, my reputation has been ruined by them! β
The emperor smiled again, "What a big deal, where is it." This is not fatal, and there is no rebellion, can it be said that it is a waste of reputation. β
He also complained about Liu Zhien, "He shouldn't have told you, but he provoked your heart." β
Seeing Xu Xun's eyes widening, he slowly reasoned with Xu Xun, "Three teachings and nine streams, any business, as long as you abide by the rules and don't violate the law of the country, everyone can do it." Don't you want to buy people to come in? Although this money is not decent, it is extremely rich. If your house is not opened, someone else's house will be opened, in this case, your house will not be opened? β
Xu Xun couldn't even speak, and listened to the emperor continue in a daze, "As for buying land, Liu Zhien didn't say it just now, it was all bought at half of the market price, and it wasn't too black-hearted." This kind of thing can't be managed at all now, and all the ministers in the cabinet are boasting that they are all virtuous ministers, and they all have hundreds of hectares of fertile land behind them. It is true that there is an effect, but were those fields that were connected like that in the first place? In the middle, there is no need to oppress people, so let's turn a blind eye. As long as no one lives are killed, the Imperial Observatory doesn't bother to report it......"
To be honest, the emperor is also a little negative in his heart: If your minister can do this kind of thing, my relatives here can't do it? It doesn't make sense! I want to see who dares to take the lead in firing this first cannon, and if it is released, I will take the opportunity to clean up the fields and rectify the rule of officials, and let your ministers taste the bitter fruits of talking about the emperor's family affairs......
It's just that...... He suddenly remembered the dispute with the ministers a few months ago, and paused, "Well, but your situation is a little special, and the eyes of the outside court are staring at you." β
This is all the residual poison left by the title of the virtuous concubine, Xu Xun now fully understands Zhang Guifei's words: It's not a big deal, but Xu Xun's family has to be careful, don't go too far, otherwise it will be a handle after all.
She didn't bother to argue with the emperor about the crooked reasoning just nowβjust because everyone did it didn't mean it was right! Xu Xun grew up in the market herself, and she could never accept others to use her name to bully those bitter hahas who had no net worth in the first place.
β¦β¦ It's just that although she is angry, she is not angry to the point of losing her mind, when the emperor said that she is with the light, she said that she is clean and self-conscious, isn't that looking for death?
She followed the emperor's words and said, "That's not the case, the eldest brother has to punish them severely, just say that I begged you to punish them-"
"That's not going to work." The emperor rejected Xu Xun cleanly, and he twisted Xu Xun's nose lovingly, "That's not an impostor, it's indeed your relatives, punish them, where do you have face in the palace?" β
Seeing that Xu Xun still had something to say, he sighed and said more and more thoroughly, "Besides, do you think you are the only one in the palace who has relatives?" If you really want to do what you say, don't say that you will offend your Sister Hu, Sister Sun and Sister He, even on the side of Qingning Palace, there are people who will be stabbed by you and unable to stand. β
Xu Xun understood it for a while, and shuddered for a while: being the enemy of the entire harem, even if she had the emperor's favor, then her life would not be able to go on at all.
The emperor saw the change in Xu Xun's expression, and also knew that she had turned this corner, he said, "Since the relatives of the in-laws are all haode, it is not a big deal after all, you send Liu Zhien to your mother's house to spread a word, and let your father and mother come forward to restrain the relatives." If you think Qinglou has a bad reputation and let him stop changing his business to do it, what about those relatives in your family, isn't it all your words? β
For this little thing, he wasted half an hour of effort, he was also angry and funny, nodded Xu Xun's nose, and said with a smile, "Now feel at ease, right?" Blow your nose quickly, crying so much that your makeup is spent, like a flower cat. β
Xu Xun covered her face and ran into the clean room, and when she came out, she was quite embarrassed - she was aggrieved, and hurried over without dressing up at all, her tears were mixed with fat powder, and she fell on the skirt, and a haode pomegranate skirt was so dirty, she had to change it for a while, and how could there be any preparation for this in the Qianqing Palace.
"Then I'll go back!" She greeted the emperor.
The eyes and nose are red, looking at how cute it is, the emperor is angry and funny, and pulls Xu Xun inside, "Where are you, come and leave if you want, cry when you cry, laugh if you laugh...... I'm really spoiled. β
Having said that, he was stunned to catch Xu Xun to play chess and play double land, the two played for an afternoon, Xu Xun won several handfuls, saw that the smile on her face gradually increased, and in the evening I fed Xu Xun a few dishes that Xu Xun loved to eat...... He used all his resources to serve Xu Xun well for a night, and when he let her go back the next morning, the emperor was very satisfied with himself: This little girl should be in a better mood, right?
Xu Xun didn't have a heart-to-heart relationship with the emperor this time, her smiling face was easy to squeeze out - she also knew that she had to reassure the emperor before she could get out of the Qianqing Palace.
As soon as I returned to the palace, I couldn't wait to find Liu Zhien to speak.
"Where did you get your word about this?" She cross-examined Yoo Ji-eun.
Liu Zhien explained very happily, "Niu Twelve, the eunuch of the East Factory, is the uncle of the slave...... When I exchanged letters with slaves and maids to report safety, I mentioned it casually. β
It has not been five years since the establishment of the East Factory, and it is also famous among the people and the palace, Xu Xun completely understands now: this is to see that she has a big reputation in the palace, and she has to be idle to please her. If she had known, Liu Zhien laughed it off, and the matter would have passed. Now that she really doesn't know, isn't Niu Twelve in her hands?
"Is it clear in his letter?" She asked Liu Zhien, "It's really not a fatality, it's just a forced purchase and forced sale?" β
Liu Zhien hurriedly said, "Dongchang is doing things, Niangniang can rest assured, but it is much more dedicated than Jinyiwei." Niu Twelve is not a person who is open-mouthed, and everything he says must have evidence. β
Xu Xun pondered for a moment, then glanced at Liu Zhien, "Big brother told me that this kind of thing is not uncommon, and our family has not done too much...... Liu Zhien, you say, you weishenme want to tell me about this? β
Liu Zhien was a little surprised, but he quickly replied, "Niangniang, the matter of your Injia-"
"The ministers are not clean under their buttocks, how can they make a big fuss about this." Xu Xun brutally interrupted Liu Zhien, "Tell the truth! β
Liu Zhien glanced up at Xu Xun, a hint of strange color flashed on his face, and after thinking for a while, Fang said in a low voice, "Although there are many people in the world who do this, can ...... The slave and maid felt that the mother would not be in the same league with them. You're not that kind of person......"
Xu Xun actually didn't know that she was going to ask Liu Zhien so much, and now that she had forced such an answer, she suddenly wanted to cry a little again: even the eldest brother didn't understand her mind at all, but she didn't expect this lieutenant to think her through.
"You're right!" She forcibly suppressed the strange sourness in her heart, and said viciously, "Others can tolerate such relatives, but I Xu Xun just can't tolerate it!" I've been cautious all my life, I don't even want ants to step on it, and I can't control my family doing such a hurtful thing? What a joke! β
"Yoo Ji-eun!" Xu Xun also exuded a domineering aura, she sat up, and scolded in a non-relenting tone, "Big brother can't do this matter, I'll leave it to you." You go to Nanjing, make things clear, punish those who should be punished, retreat those who should retreat, and spit out how much money the two of them extorted for me, and double the compensation for the bitter master! If there is no fatal case, you can make your own decisions on how to deal with the two families - strict and severe! β
She flicked her sleeves and said negatively, "I don't want to hear the names of the two of them in the future!" β
Liu Zhien did not hesitate, knelt on the ground, and said loudly, "The slave swears to die for the mother!" β
Xu Xun looked at his back, and his heart was also very relieved: Fortunately, the eldest brother gave Liu Zhien to her...... This everything can be regarded as having a backbone, otherwise, she is not sitting in the city of sorrow now, and there is no countermeasure at all?
She thought for a moment, and then said, "As for my uncle and uncle, you should also watch it coldly, if there is anything that can't be done...... You can persuade them to come to Beijing to live. β
Thinking of how shrewd and capable her father and mother were on weekdays, and she didn't know anything about this matter, she was also a little angry, and the small family had a habit attack, and she didn't care about what she was inferior to, and said, "Before you leave Beijing, you go to my father's house, talk to them about the matter, and ask them, do you want me to die?" Can't even get a little wind about such a big thing? Can't they all understand their daughter's troubles in the palace? The two younger brothers of the Queen Mother, who have earned their own military merits, Jingli said that the two of them, who doesn't pick a thumbs up? But my relatives will disgrace me! You and my brother said that if you dare to learn from those two unsuccessful relatives in the future, I will not be merciful! The law of the country can tolerate it, but I can't tolerate it! β
After losing her temper so much, her heart was finally much more refreshed, Xu Xun saw that Liu Zhien retreated silently, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed: it was impossible for her to personally rush at her family and those two distant relatives, and the roar just now, although it was not directed at Liu Zhien, but she still yelled at him.
Thinking about it carefully, since he followed him for the past few days, he has done his best everywhere and planned for himself everywhere, but Yong'an Palace can't repay him the dignity he had when he was in Qianqing Palace......
"This time to go south, you must need silver taels." She softened her voice and stopped Yoo Ji-eun. "You also know the silver in the palace, you can't take it out. You can go to my mother's house and get the expenses you needβ"
Speaking of her mother's family, Xu Xun was a little angry, she added, "Take more!" As much as you have left, it's all yours! β
Liu Zhien originally came back and bowed down to listen to her instructions, but when he heard Xu Xunyi, he was amused by her, and he quickly hid his smile, and said very seriously, "Yes, Niangniang!" The slave must live up to the hard work of the mother. β
Liu Zhien has been out for a long time, and Xu Xun hasn't come back to his senses: Is this obviously her considerate of Liu Zhien, it doesn't matter if Liu Zhien is not moved, that tone - how did he make himself feel as if he was being teased.
"Hmph." She couldn't help but take a sip, "This dead eunuch already knew that he wouldn't let him take advantage of me!" β
When the words came out, I felt that I was not right, and I couldn't help but babble a few more times, and then I calmed down and didn't mention it.
The author has something to say: Xiao Xun is also rare to be a king
XD early today, I want to leave more messages~! (Justifiably.)
P.S. By the way, my cat, now it has a big temper, and when it's cold, it's like growing on my legs, and when I type, it holds my hand to stop me...... Don't let me code words wow! Everyone quickly condemns her inhuman (cat) behavior
