Chapter 74: Two Prisons
Wang Zhen was completely different from her usual calm and relaxed appearance at this time, and she was quite shocked.
Wang Xiao had no choice but to say: "Big brother is at ease, there is nothing at home." ”
Wang Zhen asked in surprise again: "You have been identified as an accomplice?" ”
Wang Xiao shook his head and said softly, "I came in by myself." ”
Wang Zhen was stunned.
He was a wise man and soon understood.
"It's not good that your house is raided." Muttering like this, he added, "You shouldn't have come in." ”
"Should I have come in?"
Wang Zhen looked at Wang Xiao again, and her gaze was already a little different.
These days, he knows that his third brother has opened his mind, and he has joys and worries in his heart.
Just look at this child's behavior these days, he is very frivolous and unruly. Even if the heart is not bad, it is also a little worrying.
But today, no matter how he is, he still has affection and righteousness for his eldest brother.
"Big brother, do you know who framed you?" Wang Xiao asked.
He was separated from Wang Zhen by a wooden fence, and his voice was very low so that the prisoners in other cells would not hear it.
Wang Zhen smiled and laughed at herself: "How do you know that I didn't kill Zhang Heng?" ”
Wang Xiao rolled his eyes, when did he still joke with me.
Wang Zhen muttered: "Who is behind this matter, and who is it aimed at, I will probably be able to know one or two tonight." ”
"You're saying they're going to torture you?"
Wang Zhen said: "We are just a family of merchants, and the death is just a small principal, but the Taiping Division and the Criminal Department are dispatched to deal with us, some of the fuss is made, and I think the target should be the backer behind our family." ”
Wang Xiao asked, "Then who are our backers?" ”
Wang Zhen glanced at him and asked, "How old are you that you decided to be involved in these things?" ”
"Then I can't get you out," Wang Xiao muttered.
Wang Zhen just looked at him with a smile.
All along, he only regarded Wang Xiao as a child.
The world was like a quagmire, and he didn't think about dragging this child into the quagmire.
It was supposed to be up to him to protect this demented brother, but he never thought that one day it would be his turn to protect himself.
Wang Xiao looked at Wang Zhen's eyes, and had no choice but to say: "Under the nest, there are no eggs?" ”
Wang Zhen took a deep breath, nodded a little gloomy, and said: "There are two possibilities for this matter, one is for the selection of the attached horse, and the target may be the Jianingbo Mansion." Jianingbo has some bad deeds among the people, and he is the queen's own brother, if this matter comes because of him, it may be that someone wants to bite a piece of meat on the prince's party. In this way, your eldest brother and I can only be regarded as an introduction, and not even an appetizer......"
Wang Xiao nodded and asked, "What about the second possibility?" ”
Wang Zhen was silent for a moment.
He looked at the small air window on the prison wall, and suddenly said, "Xiao'er, do you know why your sister-in-law wants to reconcile with me?" ”
"I don't know anything like that." Wang smiled.
At a time like this, it doesn't matter if it's good or not.
"Your sister-in-law has always been the strongest, if she is reconciled, it is inevitable that some people will say that she can't manage this marriage well, and it is definitely not what she wants." Wang Zhen sighed and said, "But she is still determined to reconcile with me, but she is worried that one day her uncle's matter will happen, and it will affect our Wang family...... Oh, a husband and wife of twelve years, how can I not understand what kind of person she is? ”
Wang smiled silently, and when he thought of Tao Wenjun's decisive appearance today, he became a little confused.
You see, there is a big problem with the joint sitting system of your Chu Dynasty.
Wang Zhen leaned on the wooden fence, and didn't know whether to be relieved or sad, and muttered: "My Wang Zhen has a wife like this, what more can my husband ask for?" Over the years, others have envied me for my poetry and books outside, but I don't know that people live in the world, and when there is a catastrophe, it is the wife of the family who can get along with each other......"
Wang Xiao rolled his eyes.
But, big brother, I don't care about that.
So after Wang Zhen muttered a few more words to himself, he asked, "What did the sister-in-law, this uncle, do?" ”
"Embezzlement of disaster relief food." Wang Zhen said: "Now that I am in prison, there may be someone who intends to pull out this big crime through me." Haha, if that's the case, when it comes to this matter, I am a traitor, and the other party is a righteous defender. ”
The king smiled and said, "If a righteous person wants to defend the way, he should go to find his sister-in-law's uncle." Taking advantage of the opportunity to lay out is nothing more than a blow to political opponents. ”
Wang Zhen smiled bitterly twice and said: "Wenjun's uncle Bai Yizhang has been in the position of the right attendant of the household department for nearly ten years, not that he can't be promoted, but this position, they are reluctant to lose. ”
"Them?"
"Some people say that they are the Donglin Party, but in fact, they are no longer the Donglin Party." Wang Zhen sighed: "In the previous dynasty, Gu Xian became the elimination of the government and the opposition, the revitalization of the Chu Dynasty, and the contact of people of insight to discuss the current affairs. But now more than 30 years have passed, when those enthusiasm and ambition have faded, only this name is left to today's scholars as a fig leaf for seeking origin, fame, power and money. ”
"More than 30 years ago, when high-ranking officials and nobles were corrupt and disorderly, and Mr. Gu raised his arms and shouted that the world was in danger, such as holding his salary on the fire, so the people of the time praised it, and the voice of reform and government salvation was rising. And more than 30 years later, the world is still dominated by those high-ranking officials, corrupt and corrupt governments, but instead they have put on the name of a clean stream dedicated to the country...... Last time you asked me how many years there is in the Chu Dynasty's qi, haha, if it goes on like this for a long time, let alone a hundred years, I am afraid that there is no number of half a hundred. ”
Wang Xiao was a little speechless, this eldest brother always said that the Chu Dynasty's qi was still fifty hundred, which interfered with his judgment.
Wang Zhen shook his head and said, "It's far away, speaking of Bai Yizhang." It is not so much that he is a Donglin Party, but that he is a Kun Party. In recent years, the Kun Party has been quite powerful in the DPRK and China, and Lu Zhengchu, the second assistant of the cabinet, came from it. Hehe, when people have power, they will start to exploit the people. And they actually started from the relief food......"
