Chapter 61: Chain
The tip of the iceberg was revealed, and it was too late when the Titanic was discovered, and it was finally a tragedy of shipwreckage and death. However, this small piece of ice stone of the Shen family seemed to have just dropped a piece of ice slag, which had already caused enough panic, at least Lord Xu Huanxiang was extremely panicked. So Duan Zhong always thinks about some problems happily. In this world, there are some people who are always very curious or suspicious, which is the same as picking up a woman's clothes, when you pick off the first piece, you will want to pick up the second piece, until you finish picking it, and then you can't pick it up, so you can only put aside the appearance of the clothes and do in-depth research. And Lord Xu Huanxiang is the kind of adult who likes to pick up women's clothes.
Shen was taken to the inner hall for trial, and there was no one else present except Lord Xu Huanxiang and a few upright officials and general judges. As usual, Duan Zhong and Xiao Beiping, two idlers, expressed great concern about the case, if they wanted to stay, Xu Huanxiang would indeed not stop them. And Xiao Beiping really wanted to stay, but Duan Zhong showed an attitude: avoid suspicion.
So Xiao Beiping reluctantly went out of Kyoto Mansion with Duan, and went to drink with Duan Chong back to the mansion. Although the building outside the building was burned down and under repair, the cook was still there. Today, Duan Zhong specially summoned the chef of Louwailou to the mansion, made a few pieces of Dongpo meat, made a few side dishes by the way, and set up a feast in the mansion to wait for Xiao Beiping's arrival.
So when Xiao Beiping walked into the room and saw a table of sumptuous meals, he felt a little incredible. It was as if he had expected when he would arrive, as the food on the table was still steaming. At the dinner table, Xiao Beiping held back countless questions in his stomach and wanted to ask Duan Chong, but Duan Chong just waved his hand: "Eat, eat!" "I also called Su'er to eat together. Naturally, there are countless polite words on this table. Of course, there is such a big beauty as Su'er on the table, and Xiao Beiping is also very happy.
During the banquet, Duan Zhong also suddenly confided in an extremely terrifying thing: "When I marry Su'er next year, don't forget to prepare a lottery for me." Of course, it would be better if you could dig up some treasures from your daddy. ”
These days, Su'er has been following Duan Chong, diligent, hard-working, no matter what Duan Chong does, he will not complain about anything. And never mentioned marriage, after all, Su'er is twenty-seven years old, and she hasn't married at such an age, which is already incredible in the eyes of others, for such a gentle and beautiful woman, Duan Zhong has always been both loving and apologetic. Although Duan Zhong had already expressed his attitude to marry Su'er when he was ten years old, and reiterated it again when he first came to Nanliang, the authenticity and reliability of the words spoken by a young man with a weak crown were really worrying.
So Duan Zhong made his words clear, and said in front of His Royal Highness the Prince of Daliang: "I not only want to marry Su'er, but also marry beautifully, not only your Royal Highness of Daliang has to prepare a bride price for me, but your emperor Laozi also has to prepare it for me." ”
So Xiao Beiping looked at Duan Zhong with wide eyes and horror, but it was clear to him that his concept as a senior brother had always been diametrically opposed to the world. Then Xiao Beiping suddenly thought of a very interesting thing, that is, if Duan Chong took Su'er as the main house, where would Liao Jiajia, the daughter of the governor, be placed? After all, Xiao Beiping has a very good impression of Liao Jiajia, although they haven't been together for a long time. Moreover, Duan Zhong had already made his attitude clear and competed fairly, so Xiao Beiping couldn't help but be a little discouraged, after all, he couldn't compare to this senior brother. However, since Liao Jiajia can't become Duan Chong's main house, she can!
Although the Governor is about to fall, but in the final analysis, the main perpetrator is Liao Xulin Liao Gongzi, if the Governor can solemnly state that this matter has nothing to do with him, but there is no way to teach his son, at most he will be demoted to a lower grade, and he will not continue to stay above the fat difference of the Governor of Jiangnan. And if he asks his father for marriage, as long as he insists on it, this thing is completely feasible.
Just when our prince Xiao Beiping was planning for the future, how could he know that his brother had already fallen in love with the governor's daughter two or three years ago, and his senior brother from Dali had already made a private agreement with Liao Jiajia for life in the dead of night.
And the current situation is that Duan Chong, Xiao Beiding and Xiao Beiping seem to have entered a complex four-corner relationship. This is even more bloody than the plot of a Korean TV series that has been bloody for a lifetime. If Duan Zhong knew this, he didn't know if he would vomit blood and die on the spot.
So Xiao Beiping said with a smile on his face: "This is natural, to be able to marry such a gentle, virtuous and beautiful girl, senior brother, you are really blessed." You are the prince of Dali, and the professor of Wen Yuanbo and Taixue of our Daliang, plus you are also my senior brother, who dares not to put these names in your eyes? You can rest assured, I promise that you will definitely be in full swing when you get married next year. ”
Duan Chong laughed twice, reached out and grabbed Su'er's little hand hidden under his sleeve: "Thank you in advance!" ”
And what about Su'er? What is her state? The brain can't react anymore, is this a public marriage proposal? His face was full of shyness, and he didn't react until Duan Zhong grabbed his hand for a long time, then he hurriedly stood up and ran out with a red face.
Duan Chong smiled, he didn't expect to be in his twenties, and he was still so shy! Typical older loli ...... Well, I love it!
———————————————————————————————————————
Su Er ran out and didn't come back, and naturally only Xiao Beiping and Duan Zhong were left at the dinner table. And Xiao Beiping can finally ask some questions that have been held in his stomach for a long time.
Xiao Beiping laughed dryly: "Senior brother, you can make the Shen family have a relationship with the Governor's Mansion, and let the Kyoto Mansion insert a lever in it, I admire it very much." ”
Duan Zhong waved his hand: "If there is anything you want to ask, just ask, I won't have time to answer you after this meal!" ”
Xiao Beiping took a sip of wine and brewed for a while: "This concubine of the fourth room of the Shen family, how did you get in touch?" ”
"If you want to bring down the big tree of the Governor through the Shen family, you always have to investigate in an all-round way. So I dug the old bottom of the Shen family, of course, I still did a lot of work later, after all, I was a villain, otherwise this girl from my own family would have to be recognized. Duan Zhong sighed, "There is actually nothing to ask about these questions, if you do your research, you will naturally know what to do." Some things are also out of helplessness, and what I did was indeed a little sorry for Shen, but I will naturally repay her in the future. ”
Xiao Beiping nodded. Although the Shen family was swept out of the house by the Shen family and did not get the family property, it was not even her mother's family who didn't recognize her anyway, it turned out that there was still a lot of rework in it. However, such an approach is, after all, within the acceptable range of principles. "So what's next? Or what will Kyoto Prefecture do? ”
Duan Zhong smiled: "Today, I pulled you out of Kyoto Mansion, and I have already shown an attitude of not doing anything." Because of the rest, Lord Xu Huanxiang will help us do it. ”
Xiao Beiping was stunned: "For example? ”
"For example, today Lord Xu Huanxiang will ask for not just one of these account books, but many of them. Of course, there are many letters. And the Shen family will also explain the fact that the head of the Shen family secretly buried a lot of ledgers and letters in the ground. ”
Xiao Beiping was stunned: "Hasn't this Shen family's garden already been dug up?" ”
Duan Zhong smiled: "Yes, and the things that were dug up are still in my hands." But I had plenty of time to bury him. ”
Xiao Beiping nodded and made a gesture for you to continue. Duan Zhong continued: "And by this evening at the latest, Lord Fu Yin will confirm that the signature in this account book is indeed the signature of the eldest prince Liao Xulin, and he will send someone to the Shen family in Hangzhou at night, if my guess is correct, Lord Fu Yin will rush there in person." ”
Duan Zhong paused for a moment and continued: "These ledgers will see the light of day tomorrow at the latest, and they will also appear in the hands of our Mansion Lord Yin. If Lord Yin was smart enough, he would not go directly to the Governor's Mansion to say hello, but would investigate secretly. ”
"Although the Governor has not been implicated in the Mansion Yin, it has not been found out for a while, but the Shen family's business is involved with the Governor's son-in-law, which is a layer of relationship that cannot be taken off. And the prince of Chelyosylin could not explain the whereabouts of the silver. If I'm not mistaken, Prince Liao Xulin is not in the house these days. ”
Xiao Beiping sighed: "Actually, Liao Xulin is still a good person, isn't it too much for us to treat him like this?" ”
Duan Zhong waved his hand: "I really don't want to treat him like this." But at the moment, I'm working for you, and if you don't want to, then I won't do it. ”
Xiao Beiping hurriedly shook his head and said, "Don't, I still keep a trace of regret for him in my heart, after all, he treated us well during those days in the Governor's Palace." After a pause, he continued, "Go on." ”
"With the character of Lord Yin of Fu, such a major matter will definitely not be turned into a big thing and a small matter. And the position of Kyoto Prefecture Yin has a lot of power, if it were you, what would you do? ”
Xiao Beiping thought for a while: "Write a secret letter to the emperor to explain this matter!" ”
Duan nodded his head: "In this way, if the matter comes to your Lao Tzu, there must always be some results." I can't guess which direction things will eventually go, but it's certain that the Governor will be demoted by at least a few notches. ”
Xiao Beiping took a sip of wine and gave a thumbs up.
