Chapter 427: Temptation
Qin Niang looked at him for a while before asking, "Isn't the prince of the county joking?" ”
Song Xi wants to choose the third highness? Isn't he tempting her?
This ambition is clearly revealed, and she is still here pretending to say that she wants to choose the third prince, isn't this teasing her?
"The king of this county seems to be so idle?" Song Xi asked with a smile undiminished.
Qin Niangmo, she thought to herself, you look really idle, otherwise you wouldn't have come here to talk nonsense.
The ambition is so obvious, and he dares to say that he wants to choose the third prince, don't you feel empty when you say this?
"The prince of the county really thinks highly of me, for me, whoever is the emperor will not have any impact on me, the Yang family has always only been a pure minister, not standing right, nor involved in party disputes, besides, I am just a woman, and I don't have any opinions on the affairs of the court, the prince of the county specially invited me to ask me such a question, I'm afraid I'm going to be disappointed."
Qin Niang didn't want to talk to her more, at this time, the show in the garden below seemed to be almost underway, and the crowd began to drink and talk in twos and threes, and the scene looked extremely lively.
However, compared to the bustle below, the desertion in the gazebo is in stark contrast.
As soon as Qin Niang's words came out, Song Xi and her didn't speak again, and for a while, everyone had different thoughts, and there was only the rustle of the breeze blowing through the trees outside the pavilion.
"Young Lady Gu, who will be the emperor in the future really has nothing to do with your Yang family?" After a long while, Song Xi suddenly asked.
Qin Niang turned her head and looked at him, only to see him lift the teapot on the table with his white and slender hand, pour himself a cup of tea leisurely, and said with a smile: "What if the fifth prince succeeds to the throne?" I remember that the two of you have been inseparable for a long time, right? ”
The matter between the five princes and the Jiang family has long been spread in the aristocratic circle, and with the Jiang family's temperament, he doesn't believe that Yang Qinyan is not afraid that they will retaliate.
"The prince of the county is really joking, Your Majesty has so many princes, and he is still in the prime of life, why did he choose the fifth prince?" Qin Niang casually pinched a piece of pastry and brought it to her mouth, and took a bite gently, "Your Majesty can reign for at least twenty years, even if he wants to choose the crown prince, he doesn't have to rush at this time, do you say yes?" ”
After speaking, she took another bite, chewed carefully, and said no more.
Her attitude has been made clear, whether she wants to pull her in line or want to test her, she will not get an answer here.
She has been playing with the other party from beginning to end, and her words are not leaky, and she will not let the other party find the handle at all.
"Since the Yang family is only a pure minister, then I won't say much, but I don't know if there is still a chance to be a pure minister with the current situation of the Yang family." Song Xi said, smiling incomprehensibly, "If Young Lady Gu changes her mind, it's best to tell the king of this county as soon as possible, otherwise it will ......."
He didn't say any more about the rest of the words, everyone is a smart person, so he can naturally hear about the threat behind the unfinished meaning.
Qin Niang smiled, and said to Song Xi: "Since the painting has been completed, the courtiers will not bother much and leave." ”
After speaking, she led the two maids to walk quickly towards the outside of the pavilion.
The moment Song Xi turned around, her face instantly became gloomy, and the hand hidden in her sleeve tightened, he didn't expect it to come to this point, this woman was still soft and hard, and she didn't know whether she was alive or dead.
After Qin Niang came out of the gazebo, she only felt a chill on her back.
"Miss, what do you mean by this King of Changle County? He inexplicably gave you a post, is it possible to tell you that? Qiu Tao asked inexplicably.
"Silly Qiutao, people are giving me an ultimatum, you haven't understood it yet." Qin Niang pulled the corners of her lips, bypassed the corridor, and walked all the way towards the Yimen of the Changle County Palace, and lowered her voice, "He threatened me just now, didn't you see it?" ”
Qiu Tao's head flashed, and it was clear in an instant.
Song Xi felt that the Yang family had been forced to a dead end, and he just wanted to see if Qin Niang would be forced to commit it.
It seems that Song Xi was also very interested in the people Song Huai wanted to get at the beginning.
Moreover, Qin Niang faintly had a feeling that Song Xi knew that they were helping Song Yu behind their backs, so she specially ran over to test her.
Although she didn't show any flaws, Song Xi had already made up her mind about it.
When the group got out of the gate of the palace of Changle County, got into the carriage, and soon returned to the Gu house.
Two days later, the emperor sent his personal guards and rushed into Yang's mansion early in the morning.
The accompanying ones are all six parts.
The common people didn't know why, and they gathered outside the door of Yang's mansion to discuss.
"What happened to this Yang Mansion again? Last time I was besieged, will I have to raid my house again this time? "Okay
"This Yang family has always been loyal to the monarch and loves the people, and this copy of the family should not be copied to the Yang Mansion."
"Isn't it? Lord Yang has been an official for many years, he has always been diligent, he is a good official, what can he copy from his mansion? ”
At this time, a young Fang priest in the crowd suddenly interjected: "You don't know this, right?" Some people will not show their greed for bribes, I heard that the dam in Yao County was only half repaired, and it was washed away, Your Majesty Shengming, suspected that the Yang family was greedy for the silver taels of the disaster, so they let people come to raid the house. ”
The young man's words were like a boulder, and in a few words, they immediately exploded in the crowd.
"You don't want to talk nonsense, how could Lord Yang do such a thing?" Someone in the crowd questioned it.
The young Fang Shi looked arrogant, glanced at the man, and said incomprehensibly: "This piece has been handed to the imperial front for several days, how can I talk nonsense, if there is no problem with this Yang family, then why did Your Majesty order to confiscate it?" ”
You must know that Yang Yuanhai is now a second-class member of the imperial court, how can he say that he will be confiscated? If there is no evidence for this, if he can't copy anything from such a rash raid of the mansion of a second-class official, wouldn't the emperor want to slap himself in the face?
The words of the young alchemist silenced most of the people in the crowd.
But after all, the Yang family has always had a good reputation, and there will still be people who express doubts and raise objections, and the crowd is noisy and shouting, and it will soon boil.
However, the crowd eating melons outside the door was in full swing, and the people in charge of the raid inside did not stop.
"Search carefully, the treasury, and the study, even with the back garden, don't miss every corner, it's hard to know that the Yang family not only hides a large amount of gold and silver, but also hides a large number of weapons, after all, the eldest lady of the Yang family may be able to endure it, and even firearms can be improved." Fan Chiwu commanded those soldiers, as if he had seen the Yang family hiding these things.
"That's it, search carefully, don't miss a trace." Hai Qing echoed the tiger's fake tiger might.
Cai Shangshu of the household department couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw this: "Lord Fan, Lord Hai, we are just here to be overseers today, those pro-guards know how to search, and there is no need for you to shout and point fingers here." ”
Fan Chiwu glared at him, and said in a sour tone: "Cai Shangshu, I know that you have always been close to Yang Yuanhai, and it is understandable for you to help him speak, but it is Your Majesty who ordered the raid of the Yang Mansion, even if you are dissatisfied, you have to hold back." ”
Hai Qing pointed at Cai Shangshu's nose and snorted: "That's it, if you defend the Yang family like this, you are questioning Your Majesty's decision-making." ”
Cai Shangshu turned around, too lazy to bother with these two mad dogs.
At this moment, a pro-guard soldier hurriedly walked over, hugged his fist at a few Shangshu and said: "A few adults, we have indeed found a lot of precious jade and antique calligraphy and paintings in the warehouse, and the account books have been ordered to be retrieved. ”
When Fan Chiwu and Hai Qing heard this, their eyes immediately lit up.
They know that there must be something wrong with the Yang family, as the saying goes, the water is clear and there are no fish, there is no official in this world who is not greedy at all, as long as the house is raided, there will always be some unsightly things.
As long as the Yang family has the slightest problem, they will expand the problem and report it to the emperor, and directly condemn Yang Yuanhai and his son to death.
Fan Chiwu and Hai Qing glanced at each other, and they both saw a bright light in each other's eyes.
Cai Shangshu and Cheng Anhou glanced at each other, and a trace of worry appeared in their hearts.
Cheng Anhou is the most impatient to deal with this kind of thing on weekdays, if it weren't for Fan Chiwu and Haiqing today, if it weren't for the fact that Fan Chiwu and Haiqing were also there, for fear that these two people would join forces to make ghosts, such a trivial matter as raiding the minister's mansion, why would he be there in person and send a henchman.
The group had different thoughts, and soon came to the Yang family's warehouse.
As the guard said, there were many treasures in the treasury, and even some of them could not be bought by money.
"I'll just say that there must be something wrong with this Yang family, a small Ministry of Works, where did the money come from to buy these things, it seems that this Yang Yuanhai is a lot of greed on weekdays." Fan Chiwu looked at the things in the warehouse, and a flash of greed flashed in his eyes.
When the time comes to collect it, if he can take advantage of the chaos to take a few antiques......
Thinking like this, Fan Chiwu's whole body was full of enthusiasm.
The movements of the Yang family, Qin Niang naturally couldn't be unaware.
At this moment, she disguised herself as an ordinary woman, leading Qiu Tao and Qiu Xue to sit in the teahouse opposite Yang's Mansion and drink tea, glancing at the crowd from time to time.
"Miss, that man looks like a toot." Qiu Xue's eyes were sharp, and she recognized at a glance the young Fang Shi who was inciting the Yang family to be corrupt and bribe, "He must have been instructed by someone to deliberately stir up public resentment here." ”
Following the direction of her finger, Qin Niang and Qiu Tao both saw the young man standing in the crowd and talking endlessly.
He said it clearly, and those ordinary people who were still a little unbelieving were suddenly shaken.
"Miss, do you want the slave to go and arrest him in a while, and see who he is instructed by." Qiu Xue said, touching the short road hidden in her sleeve.
"Otherwise, let him continue to talk nonsense, I'm afraid that in less than half a day, everyone in the capital will think that our Yang family is really greedy for the silver tael of the disaster." Qiu Tao said, looking at Qin Niang with inquiring eyes.
