Chapter 746: Conspiracy
After a while, Niu Jinsong respectfully withdrew from the main hall, and then Li Xin swept away the previous secret.
"Okay, don't cry and lose your face, I'll give you an account today, everything is under control, you go back and do your job, just wait to watch the show!"
The Marquis of Zhenyu has spoken to this point, what else can Chen Wenjiao and Zhu Yuncai say? Thinking about coming to Zhenyuhou and saying that there had been arrangements for a long time, there must have been a countermeasure early in the morning, and Niu Jinsong, who had always been low-key just now, came and went mysteriously and hurried away, it must be for this matter.
Thinking of this, the two of them finally landed on a big stone in their hearts, so they had no reason to stay, so they confessed and left.
In the Wei Mansion, all the servants and miscellaneous servants were silent, and they all acted with ten thousand cautions. Since the old man came back, he first scolded two family members who had been too much to toss and drove them out of the mansion, and then locked up the little grandfather. Even the old butler, who had always been trusted by his old man, was severely reprimanded and cut off two months' worth of silver. In fact, the most unlucky is the little grandfather's personal servant, someone told the old man, saying that the servant girl seduced the little grandfather to prostitute during the day, and the old man was even more angry, and the servant girl who seduced the little grandfather was beaten and then openly sent home.
It is said that the servant girl could not stand the humiliation and committed suicide by hanging herself on the night she returned home. After some rectification, the Wei State Mansion, which was originally tossed by Xu Wenjue, regained its former majesty.
"Say it! How did they treat you? ”
Wei Guogong Xu Hongji's face sank like water, his voice was so cold that it could turn into ice, but his eyes showed a look of hatred for iron and steel. At this moment, Grandpa Xu is already like a mouse who has seen a cat, just trembling with the chaff, where does he still have the courage and mind to answer the question. Don't look at Grandpa Xu who is arrogant outside, but when he arrives in front of his father, he has no momentum, except for fear or fear.
"Yes...... Be...... It's ......"
Xu Wenjue was for a long time, but he didn't say a complete sentence. Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, saw that his eldest son looked like a wreck, and he was angry, but after all, he was too old to be angry. His right hand clutched the tea bowl on the table, but his heart was turning back and forth, and he asked himself about the Ming officialdom for decades, and he never lost his eyes.
This Li Xin's initial impression to him was just a somewhat tricky martial artist, but after a series of measures by this person in the past six months, he actually made Nanjing easily change the real power, and even he returned to Nanjing in embarrassment under his influence.
Xu Hongji learned from the pain, the previous light enemy made him suffer a lot, and he regretted that he should not have made the decision to leave Nanjing to attack the enemy easily. That was also out of contempt for the Huangmei thief, hoping to completely stabilize his position in Nanjing City by quelling the chaos. But leaving Nanjing, it just gave Li Xin the opportunity to take the opportunity to start, and cut off the nest of rotten silverfish in the Nanjing Ministry of Industry in one fell swoop. Although these people have little to do with him Xu Hongji, they have shocked the hundreds of officials in the city, and judging from the observations of the past few days, several Shangshu in Nanjing are afraid that they have already softened to Li Xin.
Zheng Sanjun and Gao Hongtu are the grass on the wall, Xu Hongji asked himself as long as he successfully regained the initiative in his hands, he was not afraid that they would not fall back to himself. But now the tricky thing is that Li Xin's wife is actually eyeing his eldest son. It's hateful that this indisputable thing causes trouble everywhere and leaves a handle everywhere.
"You say! How much money did you take from the Chen family? ”
Xu Hong basically doesn't want any of the Chen family's money, and only by disposing of all the family property impartially can he appear to be selfless. But after thousands of calculations, I just didn't expect that this unscrupulous son would have such a big courage to dare to swallow such a big family property behind his back.
Xu Wenjue knew that he couldn't hide this time, so he had to avoid the important and explain some things, he naturally couldn't swallow the Chen family's property alone, so he hit it off with Ruan Dacheng, the huge rich man in the city, and then put it into practice through Yin He Kegang, who was Yingtianfu at the time.
Speaking of which, it was he Xu Wenjue who participated in it, but in fact, his role in it was very limited, and the money he should have received was also invested in the big deal under the persuasion of Ruan Dacheng, and it was the Chen family brothers who personally participated in the disposal. Originally, according to Ruan Dacheng's intention, he wanted to kill the Chen family brothers, but Xu Wenjue hesitated at the critical moment, so he had to listen to the advice of one of his subordinates, and secretly bought the jailer to throw the two brothers into Yingtianfu Prison. He concealed this matter very successfully, even Ruan Dacheng thought that the Chen family brothers had disappeared from the world, but people are not as good as heaven, who would have thought that they would be discovered by Li Xin's family by mistake.
But these are not big deals, in fact, what makes Xu Wenjue most distressed is that almost all the silver money in his hand has been invested in Ruan Dacheng's body, just waiting for the end of the year. It's a pity that before the dream of counting silver could be touched, Ruan Dacheng let Li Xin's guy uproot, and even this person's backstage, when Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the court, was out of reach, and finally was driven out of Nanjing City.
Originally, Xu Wenjue planned to take advantage of the fire to rob and want to get a piece of Ruan Dacheng's assets, but after some investigation, he found that Ruan Dacheng did not have much money in Nanjing, in other words, what Ruan Dacheng had raised before was just an empty shelf.
So here's the problem, as far as Xu Wenjue knows, Ruan Dacheng once raised a lot of money in the city, and he was not the only one who paid the money. In addition, the Chen family's large fortune is also very large, where did all this go? Xu Wenjue was puzzled, but he faintly felt that there seemed to be a pair of invisible big hands behind him that he couldn't see. But he wanted to take a closer look, but found nothing.
Xu Wenjue told what he had done and what he doubted. Then he peeked at his father with a weak heart, but he didn't find a trace of joy and sorrow on his father's face, so he became even more worried in his heart, not knowing what his father would do with him.
"Where are the Chen brothers now?"
Xu Hongji knew very well in his heart that the deeds of his son and Ruan Dacheng were all things without evidence, and the money would fall into Ruan Dacheng's hands in the end, and I was afraid that a lot of it would fall into Zhou Yanru's pocket, and this unfortunate thing was sold by others and helped to make money. He secretly lamented that he was a hero, how could he give birth to such a stupid and greedy son.
Now the only one Li Xin can use as a handle is the Chen family brothers, judging from the description of this unscrupulous son, he still has some conscience in his heart, and he does not care about human life. But it was this Tianliang who brought him today's trouble, if he had destroyed the corpse according to Ruan Dacheng's idea, the Chen family brothers would have long since ceased to exist in this world. Now there is naturally no reason for Li Xin to hold on to this matter and not let go.
Alas! It's really a thing that doesn't have enough to do and more to lose.
"That's it! Go back and read well! ”
"Yes, yes! The son wrote it down! Xu Wenjue trembled, but he couldn't move under his feet, and his body was still shaking.
"Say it! What else? "What kind of character Xu Hongji is, this Xiaozi can't escape his eyes with every move, knowing that his son still has something to say, his heart suddenly softened, and he couldn't help but ask.
"Daddy, son, my son borrowed the big merchant in the city, the Xu family, three, thirty thousand taels of silver. When you didn't come back a few days ago, Xu Yongji came to the door, threatened, threatened his son, and said, if you don't pay back the money, you want our Xu family to look good, and your son is afraid, afraid of ......"
Xu Yongji's debt collection, as soon as Xu Hongji returned home, the old housekeeper told him 1510. As the saying goes, Hades is easy to see, but imps are difficult. Xu Yongji is also a suspicious person around Xiaozi, and if he doesn't handle it well, it may be a trouble.
"Good! Got it, go back and think about it behind closed doors, and read hard! ”
Xu Wenjue heard that his father's attitude seemed to have softened, and he knew that he had passed the test today, so he retreated as if he had been amnestied, probably because he was too nervous and stumbled over the high door. This made Xu Hongji smile bitterly and shook his head, not only could his son not help him, but he also had to wipe his ass before and after being a father.
Suddenly, Xu Hongji became melancholy, he could always protect this unscrupulous son, but sooner or later one day he would follow the first emperor, who would protect him at that time?
The old butler tiptoed into the study, "Master! ”
Xu Hongji raised his head and said with a long sigh: "Spend 30,000 taels of silver from the account to send it to the Xu family in the city!" Now is the critical moment, and we can't let those rats go bad! ”
The old butler nodded in response, and then said, "The person has been sent out according to the master's instructions, I don't know if the master still has orders?" In fact, he asked Xu Hongji if he had any tricks, but because of habit, he couldn't ask directly.
Xu Hongji and the old housekeeper have been the master and servant for many years, and the two seem to be friends but not friends, like master and servant but not master and servant. The old housekeeper's words and deeds, he naturally revealed the meaning clearly.
"This one move is enough, no need for a second move!"
The old housekeeper was a little excited after hearing this, "The old servant always heard that this Li Xin is cunning and cunning, and he will repay him." In case you don't die if you hit the snake......"
"No way! Unless Li Xin rebelled against the Ming Dynasty and did not recognize himself as a Ming courtier, he could only calmly lead his neck into Weng! There is no other choice! ”
Xu Hongji said categorically, as if he was already winning, and the only thing he needed now was to wait.
"There are still a few troubles, Shao Hualong is usually obedient, but he is in too much trouble, even if I can't save it! Okay, everything that should be cleaned up is cleaned up, don't be afraid of any public opinion, as long as there is no proof of death, no one dares to touch the old man......"
In front of the old housekeeper, Xu Hongji's words were obviously more, and he chattered for a long time.
Early the next morning, the old housekeeper bought the new "Bulletin", Xu Hongji rinsed his mouth and picked it up and glanced at it a few times, but he couldn't help but slam the tea bowl in his hand on the ground!
