Chapter 22: Worry
There are all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas on the table, and the fragrance is striking, but in the face of these delicacies, Wang Renshou has no appetite at all, and he can't swallow it after just eating a few bites.
Seeing the old man like this, Mrs. Wang's heart was like this, and it was like this at lunchtime, thinking that the food was not suitable for the old man's appetite, and the cook beat him hard, but at night the old man was still like this, looking at the back of the old man sighing and leaving in depression, Mrs. Wang really realized that the old man did not have an appetite, he was sick of the heart.
I don't know what troubles the lord encountered, when he went to the court in the morning, he was fine, he was in a happier mood, and he became sullen when he got home, Mrs. Wang felt that it should be related to officialdom, and the lord had not encountered any troubles in life, and only the court could make him annoyed, but Mrs. Wang never asked the lord about the court, and the deception in it was not something that she could understand.
It was her duty to teach her husband and children, but now that her husband is in trouble, she can't help anything, thinking about it like this, Mrs. Wang suddenly has a feeling of powerlessness, and when Wang Renshou's back disappeared at the door, she only sighed helplessly.
The food on the table was still hot, but Mrs. Wang had no appetite, just a few mouthfuls of her stomach seemed to be very full, she couldn't eat a mouthful, and with a command, three maids poured in, and quickly transported the food on the table, and the people had a good mouth tonight......
Wang Renshou paced in the study with his hands in his hands, his thick eyebrows tightened, and his gloomy face looked even older, he hadn't been so worried for a long time, the anger of the emperor in the early dynasty shocked and frightened him, he didn't care about the death of Rousseau's family, he only cared about the emperor's attitude, from the attitude of the emperor to Rousseau in the early dynasty Wang Renshou can see that the emperor has a subconscious rejection of famous families like them, especially for the former ancestors.
Wang Renshou and Rousseau were two people valued by Gaozu, and among other famous families, their two families were regarded as a column relied on by the emperor in the court, although the important positions did not belong to them.
It's just that this is not what it used to be, the dynasty has changed hands, everything has to start again, even if he once favored the court, to the new monarch ascended the throne, he may not still be favored, each emperor has his own circle of relationships, he usually puts his cronies in more important positions around him, so that he can control the court.
There are basically no courtiers who can get along with the two generations of emperors, Wang Renshou boasts that he does not have such talents, and he cannot be comfortable with the two generations of emperors, he does not want to have a good relationship with the new emperor, he has also spent a lot of effort, and he has touted it several times in the court but the new emperor is indifferent, as if each emperor likes to have his own independent relationship network different from the previous emperor, and the attitude of the new emperor makes Wang Renshou feel that he is rejecting.
Especially after the destruction of the Rousseau family, he believed this even more convictionally.
If it weren't for the fact that the sky lantern was already known, Wang Renshou would not be as troubled as he is now, the emperor repelled his own family, the emperor's anger from Rousseau has not disappeared, if something goes wrong at this juncture, the emperor will definitely take the Wang family again, on the one hand, he punished the Wang family, on the other hand, the emperor has become a virtuous monarch, and his position has been consolidated.
Wang Renshou didn't want to hit the knife like this, but thinking that the insider hadn't landed yet, his heart was as uncomfortable as an ant crawling, Cao County's order was quite efficient, and he investigated the literati situation in the three townships in four days, but the result was not ideal.
He thought that there would be results according to his initial expectations, but after the results of the investigation came out, he was helpless, and he really didn't know how to proceed next.
If it weren't for the Rousseau incident at this juncture, he would not have been in such a hurry, and he would not have taken it so seriously as he does now...... This matter can only be solved quickly!
Wang Renshou, who made the decision, was firm and cold in his eyes, no matter what the cost, he had to deal with this matter, otherwise he would be uneasy every day, and it would not be so easy to be happy in the following days.
As soon as he made a decision, Cao Xian Ling actually came together, which made Wang Renshou very surprised, he had already been angry when he reported the results last time, and he had ordered him not to come to see him again if he couldn't find anyone in the know, could it be that he was confident this time?
After Steward Wang led Cao Xianling into the study, Wang Renshou asked coldly where the so-called came from, his anger did not scare Cao Xianling away, but he began to make plans for his follow-up career with great interest.
"Xiaguan is so anxious to see you, mainly because he is too worried about the position of the water envoy of the capital water supervisor, especially when the lower official heard that Lord Lu moved to Dengzhou and moved his family to Dengzhou, he was very envious, and the lower official also wanted to be promoted as grandly as Lord Lu one day, even if the old house was included in the treasury."
Wang Renshou knew that this was just an excuse for the emperor to cover up people's eyes and ears and cover up the truth, as long as the Lu family left Chang'an Qianli Road, it would be their Huangquan Road, not the road to Dengzhou, he didn't care about this, he just wanted to know what the reason was that Cao County Ling would swear so much.
He glanced at Cao Xianling coldly and said, "You are so ashamed, could it be that you have found the whereabouts of the insider?"
Seeing Cao Xianling nodding with a smile, Wang Renshou was suddenly happy in his heart, but he frowned again and said, "Since it has been found, why hasn't the old man seen him?"
Cao Xian Ling stroked his still thick black beard and said confidently: "The person has not really been found yet, but the lower officials are sure that this person will be found this time."
Wang Renshou said angrily: "People are so ashamed to speak so loudly before they are found, what a big breath!"
Cao Xian Ling hurriedly bowed down and said: "Your Excellency, it's not too late to be angry after listening to the official's analysis for you."
"Xiaguan started the investigation from Yayu Township, and after no result, he looked for the neighboring two townships, and the final result has been known to the adults, and the lower officials are extremely unwilling to have such a result, and all the energy has been spent on pondering this matter in the past few days, and the hard work has paid off.
Xia Guan thought that only the people of Yayu Township knew about the mountain where your ancestral tomb was located, and the peaks facing the ancestral tomb were all from the location of the ancestral tomb of the people of Yayu Township, and only they could find the giant wax.
The previous investigation of Yayu Township was fruitless, which also showed that the insider was in Yayu Township, and he may have heard the rumors, so he deliberately covered up his original handwriting when writing.
In addition, after investigation, the Guo family has not yet given Qiaoqiao a marriage, and the only way to say that it is possible that a young man has a crush on Qiaoqiao, and the Guo family does not know, as for whether it is a scoundrel who wants to meddle in his affairs, the lower officials and the county officials have discussed with each other, this kind of statement is extremely unlikely, and now when it is impossible to fill the stomach, who will take care of other families' affairs, not to mention this kind of life and death matter.
Therefore, Xia Guan thinks that the theory of secret love is the most credible, this person must be a young man who is not very old, and there are only a handful of talented people in Yayu Township, and there are only three people who are not very old, one person each in Tianli, Anyangli, and Tiananli, among which Lin Fan in Anyang is the youngest, and Xia Guan thinks that this son is the least suspected, because he has not yet reached the age of knowing how to talk about love.
The biggest suspect is Chen Xiao in Tiananli, I heard that his family is going on a blind date for him, it is the age of marriage, and it is normal for this son to fall in love with Qiaoqiao.
Now the scope is narrowed, but he is in the dark, we are in the light, it is not easy to catch him, if you want to find out this person, you still need iron-clad evidence, we only have a handwriting in our hands, this time we still start with this, focusing on the three young talents. ”
Wang Renshou took a sip of tea, while thinking about Cao County's words, and after pondering for a while, he stared at Cao County's order and asked: "I have checked the handwriting before but found nothing, and now I will check it again, will there be any gains?" The man knew that we were looking for him, and he would definitely hide himself from us and not let us find any clues, and no matter how much we checked the handwriting, I am afraid that nothing else will be found, and you have not thought of any other way? ”
