Lin Yuan didn't know that He Wenchang was going to resign, as a scholar and politician in Yuzhou, this time the imperial court had already characterized He Wenjin's case, but the reason He Wenchang used to resign at this time was precisely He Wenjin's case.

Those who know, such as Yasukuni Gong and others, naturally know what He Wenchang is planning. Those who don't know think that someone in the court is framing He Wenchang and forcing him to resign and tell his old age.

In order to stabilize people's hearts, the emperor naturally will not do anything to He Wenchang, but once this dangerous move is played, He Wenchang will not just say goodbye to his hometown and return to his hometown.

"Young master, let's go out of Beijing." Yu Shi said outside the car.

"What about Zhang Li?" Lin Yuan asked.

"Listen to your orders, I've already gone to Jiangxian." Yu Shi replied.

Jiangxian is close to Yuzhou, is the only place to go south to Yuzhou, although they have troops on hand, but for no reason to transfer into Yuzhou is easy to be attacked by others, in order to be a little cleaner, Lin Yuan let Zhang Li lead people to be stationed in Jiangxian first in case of accidents. The Xue family has been operating in Yuzhou for many years, and they don't believe that the other party has not infiltrated the army when they kill Lin Yuan, so it is not a bad thing to prepare more.

"How many people did you bring?"

"Three hundred, Zhang Li said that it is easy to alarm the Xue family if there are too many people and horses, if it is not enough, there is still a garrison in Jiangxian County, and he can also mobilize to help."

"I have the right to transfer Jiangxian soldiers and horses?" Lin Yuan was a little strange, how could he not know that he could still mobilize the soldiers and horses of Jiangxian County.

"Young master, Jiangxian is special. Because of guarding the gate of Yuzhou, the emperor put the jurisdiction of Jiangxian County under the name of the Jinzhou border army, and you still have the authority to lead the troops in the north now. Yu Shi didn't know much at first, and it wasn't until Zhang Li explained that he figured out the reason, so he was able to explain it to Lin Yuan.

It seems that the emperor is thinking farther than himself, and he is afraid that he has been guarding against the Xue family for a long time. With Zhang Li in Jiangxian County, he can let go of his hands and feet, even if his Xue family is really in a hurry to jump off the wall, he is not afraid of the other party.

"Let's go, don't be in a hurry, when you're tired, tell everyone to rest." Lin Yuan said a word and returned to the car.

Xue Mansion, Xue Huaitao clicked the letter on the table and looked at Xue Huaiyi who was sitting aside: "He Wenchang's letter has been delivered for two days, have you read it?" ”

"What's the use of seeing it, what's the use of not seeing it. He Wenchang was promoted by his father, and even the Xue family in Nanyang City was not as valued as He Wenchang. What's the use of reading this letter a thousand times? Xue Huaiyi said lightly.

"So wait for news from the bamboo garden?" Xue Huaitao asked.

"What? Big brother asked? Xue Huaiyi looked at Xue Huaitao, who was frowning, and asked.

Since Xue Yong retreated in the bamboo garden, Xue Huaili, the Xue family's big house, was in charge of the big and small affairs of the Xue family. After He Wenjin's case, he was worried that He Wenchang in Nanyang would be implicated, but fortunately, there was no new action in the imperial court, but the large article praising He Wenchang published in the weekly newspaper made Xue Huaili suspicious.

Half-step saint, this title is the most widely circulated in private, you must know that his father Xue Yong is also a 'literary saint' title, He Wenchang has been in charge of Yuzhou academic politics for many years, and his literary style is also famous all over the world, but even so He Wenchang did not dare to trespass, because he was in Nanyang, and Nanyang had Xue Yong.

In the past few days, because of these rumors, Xue Huaili has asked Xue Huaitao about this matter, but He Wenchang has fainted several times in the past few days, and Xue Huaitao can't come to the door to question this time even if he is thick-skinned, and there has been no news from Zhuyuan, which makes Xue Huaitao very uncomfortable.

"It's been three times, and I'm being asked again this morning, it seems that the new issue of the weekly newspaper is still touting He Wenchang." Xue Huaitao said.

"A small workshop opened by a foreigner, just send someone to check it, what do we need to do with He Wenchang for this matter?" Xue Huaiyi frowned.

"It's light to say, if it's so easy, how can the other party drive until now." Xue Huaitao smiled bitterly.

"Where did you come from?"

"I checked it once when it first opened, but people took the path of the Ministry of Rites, and you also know that Cui Yan of the Cui family is still in front of the Ministry of Rites." Xue Huaitao explained.

"People from the Cui family?" Xue Huaiyi asked with a frown.

"I don't know, there's no way to verify, if it's really from the Cui family, it's easy for us to offend the other party to death if we do this."

"Could it be Yasukuni's people?" Xue Huaiyi guessed.

"Impossible." Xue Huaitao shook his head and explained: "The boss of this weekly newspaper is a person named Wang Ming, who wrote from the capital before saying that this person had offended the Yasukuni Mansion by committing two deaths, and it was originally a branch of the Jinzhou Wang family, but because he was worried about the reproach of the Yasukuni Mansion, he was removed from the family tree, and he has not returned yet. ”

"The Wang family is also going back more and more." Xue Huaiyi sneered. After thinking about it, he said: "It looks like it's really a hedgehog, how did He Wenchang offend them?" ”

"I haven't heard of offending, but there are rumors that He Wenjin's opponent in the capital put it." He Wenjin was promoted to the left servant of the Ministry of War, and such a position of real power would naturally offend many people, and there is some truth in saying this.

The two were discussing He Wenchang's affairs, when a servant suddenly broke in outside the door, holding a note in his hand and handing it to Xue Huaitao.

Unfolded the note with some doubts, and Xue Huaitao's face changed. Xue Huaiyi frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"There are two news from the capital." Xue Huaitao glanced up at Xue Huaiyi and continued: "First thing, He Wenchang handed the emperor the excerpt of his resignation. ”

"Resigned?" Xue Huaiyi was stunned for a moment, thought about it, shook his head and smiled: "He Wenchang has a good calculation. ”

"What does the third brother mean?"

"The matter of resigning is just forcing the emperor to take action against the weekly newspaper, he knows that he can't deal with the weekly newspaper, and he can only solve the problem through the emperor's means." Xue Huaiyi explained.

"What about the second thing?"

I saw Xue Huaitao's face sank, and he said: "The Duke of Yasukuni has come to Yuzhou from Beijing." ”

"It's so early, there's still some time left for this spring exam." After thinking about it, Xue Huaiyi looked at Xue Huaitao and asked, "What about Yao Lian?" ”

"I'm still in Beijing, and it looks like I won't be out of Beijing for the time being." Xue Huaitao said.

There was a brief silence around, Xue Huaiyi and Xue Huaitao were thinking about the news of Yasukuni's departure from Beijing, when a middle-aged man suddenly walked in the courtyard. The complexion was not very good, and he looked at the two of them with a cold face. A light cough woke them up.

"What do you think?" looked at Xue Huaitao in front of him and asked.

Taken aback, Xue Huaitao hurriedly looked to the side and said, "Brother, you're here." I'm really going to look for you. ”

"What's the matter, there's news from He Wenchang?" Xue Huaili sat aside and asked.

"He Wenchang handed Jingli an excerpt and planned to resign." Xue Huaitao said the contents of the note again.

"Old fox, it seems that he is not old and confused." Xue Huaili thought for a moment and then said.

"There is one more thing, the Yasukuni Gong is out of Beijing." Xue Huaili's face changed, he twisted his eyebrows and thought for a while and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"I don't know, it's just that he just left Beijing, I'm afraid that he will be the same as the previous time in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and privately run thousands of miles to Nanyang." Xue Huaitao thought for a while and said.

"Impossible." Xue Huaili and Xue Huaiyi spoke at the same time, glancing at their favored third brother, Xue Huaili smiled and said, "Third brother, you come first." ”

Without shirking, Xue Huaiyi said: "This time is not as good as Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Lin Yuan's main task this time is the Spring Exam, he will not make Yuzhou chaotic before the exam, he will not dare to do it and will not do it." ”

"We didn't do anything out of the ordinary, he will stop a little for the time being when he has no handle." Xue Huaili said a word, but his eyes swept over Xue Huaiyi and Xue Huaitao.

didn't care about Xue Huaili's gaze, Xue Huaiyi said: "But you still have to be careful, Yasukuni Gong is notoriously unreasonable." ”

"Then let's try it boldly, I don't believe that our century-old family can't compare to an upstart." Xue Huaili sneered and didn't linger any longer, turned around and walked out.

Looking at the back of Xue Huaili leaving, Xue Huaiyi's eyes were cold, but he was not noticed by Xue Huaitao, perhaps because he felt that his eldest brother was a little careless, Xue Huaitao shook his head helplessly.

He Wenchang finally got the news he wanted, and when the capital came, he had to study politics in Yuzhou with peace of mind, and then there was a rebuke from the palace, and the weekly newspaper began to deal with He Wenchang's affairs coldly. And the Xue family also came with news, no blame, just a greeting. But in He Wenchang's eyes, this is tantamount to a gold medal for avoiding death. As long as the Xue family doesn't do it to themselves, no one in Yuzhou will dare to do anything to themselves.

"Is the Yasukuni Duke out of Beijing?" He Wenchang glanced at the housekeeper and asked.

"Back to the master, the news from the Xue Mansion said that it had already departed, and the third master Xue mentioned it, asking us to get the previous things done as soon as possible." The butler said.

"Got it, you go down." He Wenchang waved his hand and said.

Thinking of Chai Yang's appearance in his mind, He Wenchang sighed helplessly. Is this seedling really going to be in his own hands? Although Yu Xin couldn't bear it, if he didn't do this, the Xue family wouldn't be able to pass the test.

Giving up Chai Yang is just losing the lives of one or two people, but if you disobey the will of the Xue family, the He family is afraid that they will not stay. Thinking of this, He Wenchang gritted his teeth and made up his mind. Sometimes living on your own is really living.

Xue Huaitao really couldn't wait, this time the revenge he had been thinking about day and night had finally come true. The Chai family took away their only child with a word of refusal, and everyone said that the Xue family was generous, but Xue Huaitao didn't think so. I've endured it for too long. Except for Xue Huaitao, no one knew how painful his heart was.

"Someone!" He Wenchang shouted. I saw the housekeeper hurriedly flash in, glanced at the housekeeper, and then He Wenchang instructed: "Prepare some people to go outside the city with me." ”

"Got it, sir." After saying that, I went out and got ready.

The housekeeper and his subordinates accompanied He Wenchang towards the bamboo forest outside the city, looking at the scene in front of him He Wenchang's heart was sour, thinking of the past of the Chai family without a bitter smile, at that time it was also a famous Yin Shi family, looking at the scenery in front of him Beware of a bitter heart.

And Chai Yang, who heard the movement outside the door, also walked out at this moment, glanced at He Wenchang in front of him, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
