Chapter 24: Greed
In Kyoto, Shi Miyuan was talking secretly with his confidant officials, and the housekeeper of the Shi Mansion hurriedly ran in from outside, shouting as he ran: "The matter of the master has been clarified!" ”
Shi Miyuan was very annoyed when he saw it: "I don't know the system, don't go down quickly." When the housekeeper saw that the old man was talking about things, he hurriedly confessed and withdrew.
After a while, the guests left, and the housekeeper hurriedly entered. Shi Miyuan picked up the fine porcelain tea bowl on the table, pecked at the dragon well and asked, "Why were you so flustered just now?" ”
After the housekeeper confessed, he said: "My lord, I went to Jizhou to investigate your nephew's affairs and got important news. ”
Shi Miyuan put down the hurried tea bowl: "Come on!" ”
The butler wiped his sweat with his sleeve and said, "The person who killed your nephew is involved with the nobles in the capital. ”
Shi Miyuan was surprised: "Oh! There is also this matter, so do you inquire clearly who killed my nephew, and which noble person is involved in the capital? Let's talk about it soon. ”
The housekeeper hurriedly said, "Master, it was Empress Yang's family who killed the nephew and young master. ”
Shi Miyuan was suspicious: "Isn't Empress Yang without a family?" How did it pop up now. ”
Housekeeper: "Master, the little one can tell from all sides, it won't be wrong, Queen Yang is an orphan, but she has an adoptive father, and her surname is his adoptive father." ”
Shi Miyuan: "Oh! And such things, why didn't anyone find out? ”
"Sir, the people who went to investigate were killed or bought, so there was nothing in return. Now the small ones were discovered with the help of the people here on the north side. ”
Shi Miyuan woke up and said: "It seems that it can't be faked, so who is her adoptive father." ”
"Master, now Empress Yang's adoptive father Yang Zeng Taiyuan has come to serve as a county in Anfu, Jizhou. Now he lives in Yangjiazhuang, ten miles away from Anfu, Jizhou. ”
Shi Miyuan thought thoughtfully: "Yang Zengtai, Yang Jiazhuang, well, who killed my nephew?" ”
"Master, it was the two great-grandsons of the Yang family who did it, and they didn't enter the city that night after they took the beggars to kill the nephew and young master. So it wasn't found out until now. The butler said respectfully.
Shi Miyuan is very uncomfortable now, his face is white and angry for a while, and he hesitates for a while. The housekeeper anxiously waited for Shi Miyuan's instructions, and after waiting for a while, Shi Miyuan slapped the table hard, and then said calmly: "This matter can't take revenge now, it mainly involves Queen Yang, and we still have to use her, and after our affairs are done, I will uproot his Yang family." ”
After Shi Miyuan finished speaking, the housekeeper praised with a wicked smile on his face: "The master is clever, let him be rampant for a while, and then even destroy him." High, sir, it's really high. ”
Shi Miyuan is now sometimes angry and sometimes happy to laugh: "Hahahaha! ”
Since Liren used the identity of Wang Hansan's fake nephew Wang Qing, although he had to use a lot of money in Anxi County, he was like a fish in water. The general from the state capital called him a brother and a brother for a day, and the magistrate had already treated him as the god of wealth.
On this day, Liren came to the county government with rich gifts, and Zhang Zhixian warmly received Liren. Looking at the gold, silver and jewelry in the box in front of him, he smiled and said, "Virtuous nephew, what is going on today?"
Li Ren saw that it was almost the same and said to the magistrate: "Uncle, the younger generation wants to open a workshop in your county. ”
Zhang Zhixian asked: "Doesn't the virtuous nephew plan to be loyal to the country?" And to do the Tao Zhu thing? ”
Li Ren smiled and said: "Uncle is generous, and the little nephew himself also wants to be loyal to the country, but I see that there is no reliable person in the court, even after I go, I will be loyal." The little nephew wants to open this workshop, firstly, to earn a sum of money for himself, and to find a reliable person in the capital in the future. Second, the little nephew also wants to reduce the burden of his uncle's annual taxes. Uncle, you think it's good. ”
Zhang Zhixian was very satisfied after hearing this, and thought in his heart: This Wang family is very close to him, and he thinks that his uncle is also very close to him (mainly because he gives a lot of silver). Ay! It's a pity that he was killed by thieves all over the house, and his nephew came to my Anxi County alone to avenge his uncle, what an idiot. For the sake of his uncle's dead face and the gold and silver in front of him, I still promised him.
Thinking of this, Zhixian nodded with compassion on his face: "Okay, you just go and do it, if there is any difficulty, my uncle will make the decision for you." ”
Li Ren said with a sad face: "Thank you, uncle, my nephew still has a matter, I wonder if my uncle can help?" ”
Zhang Zhixian saw Liren's sad face and asked, "Why is my nephew so sad?" But it doesn't hurt to talk about it. ”
Li Ren bowed deeply and said to Zhang Zhixian: "Thank you, uncle, my little nephew wants to go back to my uncle's Wangjiazhuang, I don't know if I can do it?" ”
Zhang Zhixian thought about it: "Since the virtuous nephew wants to go back to Wangjiazhuang, I'm afraid it's a little difficult, and now the murder case in Wangjiazhuang has not been understood." ”
Li Ren took out an egg-sized pearl from his sleeve and handed it to Zhang Zhixian and said, "Uncle, the little nephew wants to go back to Wangjiazhuang just to leave a thought, and ask my uncle to fulfill it." Li Ren bowed deeply to Zhang Zhixian.
Zhang Zhixian, who was holding the pearl tightly in his hand, immediately smiled: "Hehe! The virtuous nephew just wants to leave a thought, which house will be reluctant to make it difficult and agree to you. But the virtuous nephew will ...... in the future," Zhang Zhixian looked at Liren and smiled.
Li Ren took out two egg-sized gold ingots from his sleeve and put them on the table, and arched his hand at Zhang Zhixian: "Uncle, will this be in the future, hehe, the little nephew will treat my uncle the same as my uncle, please rest assured." ”
Zhang Zhixian looked at the two gold ingots with green light in his eyes and drooled: "The virtuous nephew declares righteousness, uncle, I am very relieved." ”
Li Ren looked at Zhang Zhixian, who was looking at the gold, silver and jewelry with a greedy face, and smiled: "Since my uncle is relieved of my nephew, it would be good for my nephew to send someone to the county office tomorrow to handle the handover." ”
Zhang Zhixian didn't think about anything now, grabbed the pearl in his hand and only looked at the jewelry box and the two gold ingots in front of him: "It's all good, hehe, it's all good!" ”
Li Ren saw that he had achieved his goal, and said goodbye to Zhang Zhixian, who couldn't pull out his eyes, and came out of the county office and came to the street.
