Chapter 017: Son of Heaven
Song Xiang frowned: "Xu Luo called He Shilang a cousin, and you just said that you were going to go to court, so these letters are not evidence of He Shilang's crime?" ”
There are many things about the big officials and the relatives of the local officials who are in trouble with each other, Song Yu said in the past, and later in the Jin Palace, she also heard this from the princess of Jin.
"I didn't say that!" You Shi immediately felt weak again, "How can I know about their men's affairs?" If it is evidence of a crime, then Lord Xu must not be bald these days? But he didn't, and he still served as a businessman.
"It's just that I always feel that this matter is not trivial...... she glanced at Song Xiang, "I am a woman, I just want to live in peace and stability until I am old, how can I think that this child is not an adult, your second uncle can't even keep his official position!" ”
She whimpered and wiped away tears.
Song Xiang rolled his eyes and ignored it.
But she also thought so, if what she lost was really incriminating evidence, how could Xu Luo still stay? Can you blatantly suppress Song Min?
But if it weren't for the evidence of the crime, what would make Xu Luo so precious? The letter from seventeen or eighteen years ago, unless it was a suicide note left by his parents - no, even if it was a suicide note, it was impossible for outsiders to covet it. What can be coveted is naturally related to the outside world.
Thinking of this, she asked, "What else did the thief steal?" ”
"Nothing, just four letters!"
"When exactly did this happen?"
“…… The tenth day of the first month! It's early in the morning of the 10th day of the new year! ”
"The tenth day of the first month?"
Song Xiang stopped drinking tea. The day she woke up from rebirth was the tenth day of the first lunar month, and that morning, Lu Zhan happened to pass out in her vegetable garden alone......
She was silent for a moment, and then immediately said, "Is there a whereabouts of the thief now?" ”
"Nope!" You Shi also took a sip of tea when he was thirsty, and then said: "Catching thieves is the business of the government, and now how to protect your second uncle's official is the most important!"
"I can tell you, if this matter were that simple, Lord Xu would not dismiss your second uncle's official. Since it's not simple, then when the time comes, if you pull out something else, it's called a chicken and a flying egg! Hurry up and give me the silver, and I'll ask someone to do the maneuvering!" ”
Song Xiang looked at her: "Second aunt, is this a debt collection?" When did I say I was going to give silver? ”
You choked again.
Song Xiang closed the tea bowl, got up and said, "I advise the second aunt to go back first and think about how to put on a correct attitude of begging for people, and then come to the door." ”
After saying that, she turned around and walked out of the threshold.
You chased out: "Alas, why do you turn your face and don't recognize people?!" ”
Song Lian, who jumped into the threshold, crossed his waist and said, "Don't leave yet?!" ”
……
Song Xiang returned to the room and sat down in front of the window.
Xingping County ordered the theft in the early morning of the tenth day of the first month, and Lu Zhan appeared single-handedly in Heshan Village, located in Xingping County. The women in the market and the You family all said that the thief was strong in martial arts, and it happened that Lu Zhan was the grandson of the emperor who had been carefully cultivated to be both civil and military.
In his previous life, Lu Zhan had never told her about him, so she didn't know why he appeared here alone this time.
From this point of view, there is a good chance that the thief who stole is Lu Zhan.
But he, a royal grandson who enjoys a peaceful lordship, what is he going to do to steal this?
If it was him, where did the letters go?
Although the You family is shameless, there is one thing she said to the point, although the second room of the long room is separated, but after all, it is a brother from the same mother and father, Song Min still doesn't know what taboo Xu Luo has committed here, what are those letters hiding?
In any case, to the point of losing office, the situation must be not small.
In the previous life, it was because she married into the Jin Palace, and the matter was suppressed, and this life was not so good for the second room, so if there was really a case, she could be connected to the long room casually.
Their family is happy and peaceful, if they are dragged down by the second room, isn't it too unworthy?
It's just not connected, Song Min's official position is not guaranteed, and he is not good at making a living, in total, he is just a famous person, and a pair of children are still underage, and the family's livelihood is afraid that it will become a problem when the time comes.
As the same clan and clan, can the long house still be alone?
It is naturally impossible to borrow money at the moment, and it may not be possible to settle this matter by taking the money, Song Min is a county prince, what useful channels can he buy? Even if it can be bought, it may not be stronger than He Shilang's official authority. Second, it was clear that the You family was here to ask for money, and she had no reason to pour the money into her arms.
But as long as they are still on the same genealogy, it is impossible for the You clan to let them sit idly by.
After standing in the room for a while, she looked at the sky and went down to the kitchen to cook.
By the way, he explained to Song Lian, who was praising the dog: "I'm going out after eating, you do your homework." ”
……
Lu Zhan was allowed to go out by the princess for twenty days.
Although he didn't go out, he wasn't idle these days, after Chonghua came back from the Song family, he asked him to first place eyeliner in Lu Yao and Lu Yun's two palaces, and then sent guards to carefully check He Zhen's steward Tang Zhen.
When the news arrived, he entered the palace in a sedan chair.
The emperor appreciated the peony in the Yangxin Palace, and the peony was only blooming at this time, but there was also a faint fragrance emanating out.
The white-haired emperor walked among the flowers in a half-new robe, revealing the graceful demeanor of the prosperous Mingjun between his clear faces, and when he saw Lu Zhan coming in, he nodded happily.
Lu Zhan finished saluting and looked at his peony: "This peony forest has been around for some years. ”
"Yes, these plants in the east were planted when your imperial grandmother was still there, and although they are old, I am still reluctant to cut them." As he spoke, the emperor carefully cut off a weak branch, and pointed to a few trees that came closely: "It's a pity that a few plants here later caused a disaster, and it hurt your imperial grandmother's heart for a while." ”
The emperor and the empress are childhood sweethearts, and they gave birth to two sons and a daughter when they were in the palace. After inheriting the unification, she gave birth to King Ning and Princess Anjia for several years, and only then did Concubine Na give birth to her fourth son, King Qin and fifth son, King Han.
Therefore, Lu Zhan's two uncles are actually not a few years older than Lu Zhan, such as the fifth uncle Han Wang, who is only nineteen this year and has not yet been married.
The emperor's mind is naturally very comparable, and the things in the palace are not well judged, but even Lu Zhan, who doesn't understand the benefits of having more women in the house, can't help but admit that the emperor's respect for the queen has never been lost.
"How's it going?" The Emperor straightened up and asked him with his head sideways.
Lu Zhan took out two pieces of paper from his arms: "This is Tang Zhen's resume." His ancestral home is Lingnan, and his parents entered Beijing in the year of the first emperor's reunification, and he was later born in the capital.
"When I was young, I went to various houses in Beijing to do chores, and thirty years ago I did some small business, and then I lost my capital, so I started to do chores again. Sixteen years ago, Tang Zhen's family signed a deed of sale with He Fu, and he gradually became a steward. ”
