Chapter 789: Rich and Lustful, Not Greedy
As soon as Mu Yunzhao walked out of the Jiewang Mansion, his heart was immediately not so panicked, but he regretted it a little.
Although he was confused with Fang Qingqing that time, if Fang Qingqing was pregnant with his child only once, it would be a disaster!
Mu Yunzhao clenched his fists fiercely and wanted to go back and talk to Fang Qingqing again, but he still didn't set foot in the Jiewang Mansion again.
He decided to let people secretly spy on Fang Qingqing, if Fang Qingqing showed signs of pregnancy, he would make the child who shouldn't have appeared disappear completely.
If necessary, he would no longer care about Fang Qingqing being his teacher's child and be soft-handed, and Fang Qingqing would completely disappear from this world.
Thinking about it like this, Mu Yunzhao felt a lot more relaxed.
After learning that Yun Guifei gave birth to a princess, she didn't even want to see the princess's face, and the queen also felt that she was very excessive.
And Gurti originally wanted to visit her with a gift, but because of this, she only asked the palace maid to send a congratulatory gift, and she didn't dare to appear in front of Yun Guifei.
During the day, the emperor came to visit Yun Guifei once, and only that time did Yun Guifei reluctantly glance at the little princess.
The emperor also saw that she didn't like this daughter very much, but the emperor didn't say anything.
If Concubine Yun is still so indifferent to the little princess after a while, then the emperor will arrange a place for the little princess.
When Mu Yunzhao came back from outside the palace, he happened to meet the emperor who was going to the Gulti Palace.
The emperor asked him what he was doing, and Mu Yunzhao lied and said that he wanted to visit Yun Guifei, but thinking that it was not very proper for him to go today, he turned back halfway.
The emperor also praised him for his filial piety, but he told him that Yun Guifei was in a bad mood and that he should be careful when he went to see Yun Guifei.
Mu Yunzhao respectfully agreed.
Originally, Mu Yunzhao was about to leave, but the emperor suddenly didn't open any pot and mentioned which pot.
"I heard that your third brother invited you to the house for a drink a few days ago? You drank a lot of greed, and you were carried back. You tell me the truth, did you drink so much from your third brother because you were happy to be a father, or did you deliberately drink too much because you didn't want to get along with your third brother? ”
Mu Yunzhao hated King Jie so much that he hated him, but he didn't dare to show anything in front of the emperor.
Mu Yunzhao replied incorrectly: "If you go back to your father's words, your son is naturally greedy because he wants to be a father, not because he doesn't want to get along with the third brother." ”
The emperor nodded slightly, "It would be good if you really thought so." Now that the situation is stable, you brothers should be closer to each other, and you must not let others see the jokes. ”
Mu Yunzhao replied respectfully: "The sons and daughters will follow the teachings of their father, and they will definitely be brothers in harmony." ”
The emperor said: "You can help me give a message to the crown princess: as long as she may give birth to me at that time, she will be very happy, and she will not be affected by some people and have any burden." ”
Mu Yunzhao understood that the emperor was reassuring Lu Qiu Guangrui, asking her not to think about having a boy because of Yun Guifei's words.
Mu Yunzhao thanked the emperor and returned to the East Palace in a good mood.
Mu Yunzhao relayed the emperor's words to Lu Qiu Guangrui, and she was also very happy after hearing it.
Originally, Mu Yunzhao had already adjusted his mood, but as soon as he saw Lu Qiu Guangrui, he inevitably thought of Fang Qingqing's hateful face and the absurdity of that night, and he couldn't help but feel guilty about Lu Qiu Guangrui.
He didn't let Luqiu Guangrui see that there was anything wrong with his expression, it was getting late, so he coaxed Luqiu Guangrui to sleep first, and he went to be busy with government affairs.
The emperor was still immersed in the joy that Yun Guifei gave birth to a princess and the crown princess was happy, but a few days later, he received an urgent letter from Wan Lin and Qi Hongkuo.
After reading the letter, the emperor's face was immediately covered with a thick haze.
"How can this small Quanling County still hide such a big case? Ge Pu is a person who relies on the backer of King Huan to do whatever he wants? I can't imagine that Huan'er still has such courage! ”
The emperor was about to ask someone to call King Huan for questioning, but after thinking about it, calling King Huan now would be a bit alarming.
The emperor knew that King Jie had made some small moves recently, and he had also heard that King Huan had not been honestly grounded.
But he thought that as long as they didn't cause any trouble, even if they had some of their own plans, it was normal.
However, the emperor didn't expect that King Huan's subordinates would have such a number one person as Ge Pu, if he really had something to do with Ji Ji, this matter would have to be counted separately.
The emperor immediately sent a letter back to Wan Lin and Qi Hongkuo, telling them that they must guard Ge Pu, and also told them that no matter who Ge Pu's backer is, don't be afraid, we will investigate the case if you want to.
Wan Lin also wrote in the letter about the water thieves they encountered on the way to Wulin Mansion, Wan Lin said that the water thieves came strangely, and there were internal ghosts among the officers and soldiers, but they were currently busy with disaster relief and did not have the energy to find internal ghosts.
The emperor also told Wan Lin that if the inner ghost would not affect the disaster relief and would not put their lives in danger again, it would be okay not to look for him for the time being.
But if the inner ghost dares to act again, dares to destroy the results of everyone's disaster relief, or puts them in a trap again, let Wan Lin spare some energy to find the inner ghost.
Soon after Wan Lin and Qi Hongkuo arrived at the state capital of Wulin Mansion, they received a letter from the emperor.
With the emperor's letter, the hearts of the two people suddenly bottomed out.
They discussed whether they needed to escort Ge Pu back to the capital first.
Wan Lin thought of the incident when he was escorting Zou Yi before, and encountered Lian Jingwei sending someone to rob and kill him, so he was also worried that Ge Pu would suffer the same thing.
Because Ge Pu's crimes are even worse, and there is also a suspicion of collaborating with the enemy and treason, the most important thing is that he has admitted that his backer is King Huan.
If King Huan knew that Ge Pu had committed such a crime and confessed himself, then King Huan would definitely be murderous to Ge Pu.
And King Huan is the prince after all, even if he is grounded, isn't it easy for him to find some killers?
Wan Lin thought about it again and again, but he still dispelled the idea of escorting Ge Pu to the capital first, and would rather treat him as a burden to stay by his side all the time.
The governor of Wulin Mansion is called Ji Shaojun, and according to Wan Zhang, he is still an official who is responsible for the people.
Ji Shaojun was born in a famous family, probably because his family was already wealthy, so he didn't care much about money, so bribery didn't work for him, which greatly reduced the probability of him making mistakes.
And because his family is well-off, he has the conditions to raise some beautiful wives and concubines, and it is not easy to use beauty tricks to tie him down.
In addition to the public granary, he also donated most of the grain in his own granary.
Not only that, Ji Shaojun also asked his wife to set up a porridge shop with seven concubines and many children, and donated a lot of clothes to the people.
If Wan Lin and Qi Hongkuo hadn't heard these things from Wan Zhang's mouth and seen these scenes with their own eyes, they would have found it hard to believe that Ji Shaojun, a white fat man with swollen eyelids and fat silkworms, was actually a good official who cared about the people.
In Ji Shaojun, Wan Lin understood what it means to "people cannot be disguised".
Wan Lin and others' trip to the state capital for disaster relief this time was also very smooth, but the drought in the huge state capital was greatly alleviated in a few days.
After the disaster was alleviated, Wan Lin and Qi Hongkuo had time to ask Ji Shaojun about the case of the Chai family and Ge Pu's personality five years ago.
Ji Shaojun said that he had just arrived five years ago, but he didn't expect that before he could sit firmly in the position of Zhizhou, the Chai family was wiped out.
Ji Shaojun was frightened at that time, and hurriedly sent a lot of officers and soldiers and officials to Dongzhou County to investigate the case of the Chai family's extermination.
Fortunately, someone provided a path to the cottage of the bandits in an anonymous letter, and the officials sent by the county magistrate of Dongzhou County and Ge Pu led people to kill them from that path.
The people sent by Ji Shaojun also arrived in time, so that the gang of bandits could be quickly exterminated.
However, it is a pity that the bandit leader was killed by random arrows, and the other leaders also lost their lives in the struggle with the officers and soldiers.
At that time, the Dongzhou County Commander thought that there was not much left of this gang of bandits anyway, and the treasure looted from the Chai family had also been found, even if it was to avenge the Chai family, he wanted to close the case.
But after the Chai family was looted and burned, no one knew how much treasure their family had been robbed.
The officers and soldiers found some gold, silver and jewelry in the cottage, but they did not know how much of these gold and silver jewelry belonged to the Chai family, and how many of them were there before the cottage.
Anyway, all these treasures have been handed over to the public, and no one has traced whether there are any other treasures.
After Ji Shaojun finished talking about the Chai family's case, Wan Lin asked people to take out the gold artifacts belonging to the Chai family found in Cai Jinping Village.
Ji Shaojun is a person who is used to seeing good things, but when he saw these gold objects, he was still amazed.
"These goldworks are complicated and exquisite, but they are not just gold, these golds are treasures! The Chai family can have so many gold objects, it can indeed be called a rich family! ”
Wan Lin said: "It turns out that these gold objects are so valuable! No wonder some people became greedy when they saw them, and they colluded with the bandits regardless of their conscience and duty, and then betrayed the bandits and monopolized the gold! ”
Ji Shaojun asked tentatively, "What Lord Wan said is that bastard Ge Pu?" ”
Wan Lin knew that Ji Shaojun would guess the person he was talking about, but he deliberately asked, "How does Master Ji know that the person I am talking about is him?" ”
Ji Shaojun replied: "This notoriety subordinate of Ge Pu has long heard of it, and among the officials in the entire Wulin Mansion, he is the only one who dares to rely on the backer of King Huan to run rampant, even if he is not very respectful to the subordinate official, so the subordinate guessed that it was him." But the subordinate has never caught any of his handles, so he can't punish him. It's the incompetence of the lower officials, and the two lords of the Qincha are also asked to punish them. ”
Wan Lin said empathetically: "Ge Pu is treacherous and vicious, in the territory of Quanling County under his jurisdiction, who dares to tell the truth to denounce him?" It's normal that Master Ji can't hold on to his handle. Fortunately, God has eyes, so I finally found the evidence of his guilt and brought him to justice. It's just that there is one thing that I don't know if Master Ji has noticed? ”
Ji Shaojun hurriedly asked, "May I ask what Lord Wan is talking about?" ”
