When Xu Xiyu heard this, his eyes instantly became gloomy, and he shook his head desperately at Fourth Master Sun, signaling that he couldn't speak. If you say that, all your work will be wasted, and they will all fold here!

However, Master Sun Si already hated Xu Xiyu to death in his heart. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, he would have really stabbed Xu Xiyu to death.

really believed in her ghost, and if she climbed the Xu family, she would die!

It's better to die than to live.

Cao Youxian smiled, and took a step closer towards Fourth Master Sun, "Then let's talk about it." ”

Cen Yin also hooked his lips and smiled, and whispered to Mu Yan: "No matter how hard the bones are, this fight will be broken." ”

Mu Yan clapped his hands casually, patted the scraps between his hands, shrugged and said, "After all, it's not the first generation." ”

The first generation of the Sun family to come to Dasheng was Sun Xi's father, Sun Zhi, who came to Dasheng with such a heavy responsibility, and was naturally loyal to Nanhuai. Sun Xi was born in Nanhuai, grew up in Dasheng, and was raised by Sun Zhi himself, Sun Xi is also loyal to Nanhuai, so he will take so much trouble to raise so many daughters to marry.

However, by the time of Sun Ding and Sun Yan's generation, they were already born in Dasheng and grew up in Dasheng. They have taken root in Dasheng for many years, and they are used to this rich life, and their cognition of Nanhuai comes from their parents and grandparents, so their loyalty to Nanhuai will not be as high as that of their ancestors, and they are more afraid of death.

Therefore, they did not directly interrogate Sun Xi, but first interrogated Sun Ding and Sun Yan's brothers.

Sun Xi's words are afraid that he will be more loyal, and his teeth will be harder, and Sun Ding's children and nephews, as the fourth generation of the Sun family, are afraid that they still know very little.

Cen Yin understood what Mu Yan meant, the smile on the corner of his lips deepened, and he picked up the teacup in his hand again.

Master Sun Si sorted out his thoughts, and said in a trembling voice: "Our Sun family is a fine ...... placed in Dasheng by Huaiguo."

When the first sentence is spoken, the rest of the sentence is much simpler.

Mu Yan and Cen Yin have long known about this part of the information about the origin of the Sun family, such as the Sun family has been lurking in Dasheng since Sun Zhi, for example, the Sun family has raised a lot of adopted daughters to marry Beppu and so on.

Cao Youxian wanted to hear more than that, and said, "Our family doesn't want to hear these things that we already know. ”

Master Sun Si was even more shocked in his heart, and he was not sure how much Cao Youxian knew.

He swallowed his saliva uncertainly, and could only throw out the secrets of the family in exchange for a chance to live: "My father has two account books. ”

"Oh?" Cao Youxian raised his eyebrows, and seemed to be quite interested.

The fourth master Sun breathed a sigh of relief, and said endlessly like pouring beans from a bamboo tube: "In the past few decades, our Sun family has 'honored' a lot of silver to some officials in the court every year, and the names and amounts of officials are recorded in one of the account books. ”

"There is also an account book that records all the news that the married girls have handed back."

This second account book is actually used to control the adopted daughters who got married, Sun Xi was afraid that after these adopted children gave birth to their husbands' children, they would be unfaithful to the Sun family, so he kept this account book as a handle, forcing them to continue to be loyal to the Sun family.

"What about the books?" Cao Youxian asked lightly.

"The account book is in the hands of my father, and he alone knows it." Fourth Master Sun said helplessly.

Seeing Cao Youxian frowning again, he was even more afraid, and continued: "Actually, my father brought Xu Xiyu back to the Sun family from the Xu family, and he wanted to raise him like an adopted daughter, and if he married and married Beppu in the future, he could also serve Huaiguo. ”

"......" Xu Xiyu's body trembled slightly when she heard this, and she looked at Master Sun Si in a daze, like a stone carving.

In order to survive, the fourth master Sun can only know how much to say: "My father didn't expect Xu Jingsi, the lord of Xinle County, to have such a career. ”

Later, Xu Jingsi's position in Puguo became more and more stable, first he was made the queen, and later he was in charge of the government of Puguo with the dignity of the queen mother. My father felt that Xu Xiyu could have a greater role. ”

Therefore, my father took advantage of Xu Xiyu's old age and wanted to talk about family affairs, and sent people back to Xu's house. At first, my father wanted Xu Xiyu to inquire about Xu Jingsi and the letter sent back by Xu Jingsi, so that he could plot Puguo in the future. ”

"But I didn't expect the Xu family to get up again, the regent recalled the Xu family back to the capital, and my father asked her to go to Beijing to help the Xu family listen and plan ......"

The more Master Sun said, the more he hated it, and he felt that it was Xu Xiyu who had affected the Sun family.

If it weren't for Xu Xiyu's uselessness, Mu Yan saw that he was on the horse's feet, and he was taken down by Dongchang, why would their Sun family be planted all over the house, and the day would be precarious. And my father too, who entrusted such an important matter to a little girl who was only sixteen years old......

With the words of Master Sun Si, Xu Xiyu's expression changed several times, cloudy and uncertain, and his eyes were so deep that they were like a bottomless cold pool.

She endured the sharp pain in her jaw, raised her eyes to look at Mu Yan and Cen Yin, and couldn't understand what Mu Yan was thinking.

Why was he so sure that he personally sent his handle to Cen Yin's hands?!

Xu Xiyu's heart sank little by little, and her face became worse and worse.

The fourth uncle has said everything that should have been said and what should not be said, which means that her persistence has become a joke.

That means she's worthless!

At this moment, Xu Xiyu began to be afraid.

It was as if the shell that had long been scarred had been completely shattered at this moment.

It dawned on her that what she had thought she had relied on was nothing.

For Mu Yan, her identity as a daughter of the Xu family is not a problem.

For Mu Yan, she was not necessary at all.

Xu Xiyu's slender body trembled visibly with the naked eye, and on her haggard face, her face was pale, and she was panicked.

She doesn't want to die yet!

She's only sixteen years old, she still has a good life, and she doesn't want to die yet!

"......" Xu Xiyu wanted to say something, but her jaw was removed, and she couldn't say anything at all, so she could only make a "woo-woo" sound.

She wanted to beg for mercy, she wanted Mu Yan to know that she was valuable, and she knew a lot of things.

However, Cen Yin and Mu Yan didn't look at her at all, and while laughing, the two of them had already stood up.

"Take your time." Cen Yin dropped a sentence at Cao Youxian and walked towards the door. Anyway, the Sun family's mouth has been pried open, and next, they have to say it if they don't say it.

Mu Yan also followed, and he didn't look back.

Seeing that Mu Yan and Cen Yin were about to leave, Xu Xiyu was anxious and wanted to chase, but he didn't dare to move, and his mouth made a "woo woo" sound, trying to attract the attention of the two, but in vain.

Cao Youxian, who was on the side, naturally noticed Xu Xiyu's abnormality, and pulled the corners of his mouth with a disdainful expression.

They deliberately left her here to let her watch them interrogate with her own eyes.

Let her see that they are not afraid of killing.

Let her understand that once she enters the East Factory, she doesn't think about what she wants.

Instead, they have to say whatever they want her to say!

"Greetings to the Overseer." Cao Youxian respectfully saluted Cen Yin's back, and followed, and saw Mu Yan affectionately hugging Cen Yin's shoulder.

Cao Youxian frowned, and several other Dongchang fans also looked at Mu Yan disapprovingly, glared at him fiercely, glared at him, and continued to stare at him.

Mu Yan seemed to be unaware, and put his arm on Cen Yin's shoulder and proposed with a smile: "In my opinion, it's a pity that this chef in Dongchang only fried peanuts, at this time, he should be allowed to make a sugar fried chestnut by the way to make the best use of it, right?" ”

The faces of several Dongchang fans were even more eccentric. What kind of regent is this, he knows how to eat and eat, and he hasn't said a few serious words!

Cen Yin hooked the corner of his lower lip, his beautiful face softened by three points, and said with a smile: "If you want to eat, just say it." ”

Mu Yan made a look of "Then I'm welcome", "Actually, Zhen Zhen likes to eat fried chestnuts with sugar the most." ”

A few Dongchang fans were still unaccustomed to it at first, but when they heard that this was to fry chestnuts for the four girls, their faces changed again in an instant, and they said in their hearts: Okay, although this regent is a little unreliable, he has a heart for the four girls. is barely qualified to be the brother-in-law of the Overseer.

Cen Yin and Mu Yan said as they went out of the interrogation room, leaving Xu Xiyu and the Sun family behind.

As soon as Mu Yan talked about Duanmu Fei, he became energetic and gushed: "When the chestnuts are fried, you remember to ask me to pick them up, I'll wait to send them to Zhen Zhen!" ”

"You don't know, this Ministry of Rites, it's really hard to do things, and I can't even arrange such a little thing, so I always go to trouble Zhen Zhen, and I have nothing to do with her."

"I can't even let Zhen Zhen worry about it, they're cheeky."

"No wonder grandfather said that this guy Fan Peizhong is a scoundrel, he is not wrong!"

Mu Yan muttered, the grandfather in his mouth of course referred to Duanmu Xian.

The two of them walked along the narrow passage of the Imperial Prison, and for a while, only Mu Yan's voice echoed in the air.

Noisy. The little scorpion smurmured in the back.

Cen Yin is a smart person, even if Mu Yan didn't say it plainly, he understood, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "For the queen?" ”

Mu Yan nodded and spread his hands.

Isn't that it?

The concubines, princes and princesses in the harem were almost settled, only the queen insisted on refusing to move out of the palace, and the Ministry of Rites went to Fengluan Palace three times, but they were all turned away.

Fan Peizhong really had no choice, so he ran to Duanmufei again yesterday and asked her what she was going to do, but this time Duanmuxian came back earlier and drove the people away directly, and ordered the porter not to let Fan Peizhong enter the house again.

Early this morning, Duanmuxian went to Mu Yan to "complain", told Fan Peizhong about running to Duanmu Fei twice to come up with ideas, and also reprimanded Mu Yan.

Mu Yan, as the future grandson-in-law, could only obediently listen to the training, and when he turned around, he also sent Duanmuxian a few cans of good tea and seal stones to please Duanmuxian, for fear that Duanmuxian would regret it again and want to delay the marriage, so it would be too late for Mu Yan to cry.

For the queen, Mu Yan also felt a little tricky.

He himself has no feelings for the queen, neither disgust nor family affection. For him, the queen is just an aunt who doesn't know her well, and she has been a little bit of face for many years.

However, Wuyang and Duanmu Fei have always been good, and Wuyang is now married to Jun Ran, and the relationship between Mu Yan and Jun Ran is excellent, which can be said to be a friend of life and death.

There is a saying that you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha.

Mu Yan took care of Wuyang and Junran's faces, so he couldn't reach a conclusion.

Otherwise, it is impossible for the queen to move or not, and Mu Yan will let her move.

As he spoke, the two came to the gate of the Imperial Prison, and the iron gate in front of them opened again.

Mu Yan couldn't wait to get out of the edict prison, and said with a smile: "I also asked Zhen Zhen to play, so I left first." ”

He only took two steps, and then turned back uncomfortably and said, "Don't forget my sugar-fried chestnuts." ”

"......" Cen Yin looked at Mu Yan's brisk back, and smiled again, his eyebrows shining.

The little scorpion looked at Cen Yin's soft side face from behind, and said in his heart: For this, he reluctantly endured the regent's rudeness.

At this time, Cen Yin called: "Little scorpion." ”

The corners of the little scorpion's mouth twitched, and he respectfully received the order: "The slave will go and order the kitchen." "He's here for the four girls, not for the regent!

Mu Yan, who left Dongchang in a hurry, went straight to Duanmu Mansion to pick up Duanmu Mansion, and the two played for an afternoon on the side of Half Moon Lake, and he reluctantly sent people back to the house with a large bag and a small bag.

At this time, it was already dusk, the sky was dark, and the sun had already set most of it.

Duanmu Xian and Duanmu Heng's ancestors and grandchildren have also returned to the house, Mu Yan completely ignored Duanmu Xian's eyes to drive people away, and he should not leave, waiting for dinner.

After going out to play for an afternoon, Duanmufei was still in good spirits, drinking tea, and talking to Duanmujun about the harvest of going out today: "Sister, Ah Yan and I are lucky today, when we come back, we pass through Xiyang Street, and there happens to be another batch of Western goods just shipped from Minzhou." ”

"Ah Yan and I found a lot of good things, and there is a music box, the shopkeeper said that the music in this music box is a lullaby from the West, and it is the best to coax children to sleep. I want to give it to Zegoer. ”

When the sisters get together, they have endless things to say.

In front of his little granddaughter, Duanmu Xian was embarrassed to be too direct, and euphemistically sent Mu Yan away three times, but Mu Yan didn't hear it and didn't answer Duanmu Xian's words at all.

"......" The corners of Duanmu Xian's mouth twitched, and he felt that Mu Yan, a stinky boy, was really getting thicker and thicker!

Mu Yan didn't see Duanmu Xian's disgusted eyes, and chatted with Duanmu Heng with a smile: "Big brother, next year will open Enke, do you want to try?" ”

Enko?!

Duanmu Heng and Duanmu Xian were both shocked, the ancestors and grandchildren looked at each other, Rao was as calm as Duanmu Heng, and at this moment, his expression also showed a trace of emotion, as well as heartbeat.

Duanmu Xian quickly came back to his senses, frowned slightly, and asked, "Kaienke?" Why doesn't the Cabinet know?! ”

Mu Yan said as a matter of course: "I have discussed it with Lord Cen Du. I've been so busy lately that I've forgotten to inform the cabinet. ”

"......" The corners of Duanmu Xian's mouth twitched, feeling that this Mu Yan was really hairless and unreliable.

Thinking about it, Duanmu Xian didn't object, and said with his head bowed: "It's okay to open Enke!" ”

Since a group of officials sent their heads in advance a while ago, although the imperial court was barely busy, it was somewhat out of place, and it was necessary to inject fresh blood and cultivate new talents.

Thinking about it, Duanmu Xian almost couldn't wait, smiling and brushing his beard.

Duanmu Heng originally planned to go down in the next department, but since there is Enke in the coming year......

He asked Duanmuxian what he meant with his eyes, and when he saw Duanmuxian nodded, he said, "Okay." I'll try it next year. ”

Duanmu Heng's face was solemn, since he was going to end up, he naturally had to go all out, he had already figured out how to adjust the daily arrangement, find some exam papers from previous years to read, and practice more articles.

Duanmu Heng and Mu Yan chatted a few words about Enke, and the housekeeper came to ask if they could set the meal.

Duanmujun was the first to get up and said, "Grandfather, then let's go to dinner first." Ah Yan, you haven't had dinner yet, stay and eat together before leaving. ”

Mu Yan hurriedly responded, made a disrespectful look, smiled proudly, and said secretly: This person still has to be thick-skinned enough, no, he will get dinner by relying on it.

As soon as Duanmu Xian saw Mu Yan's proud appearance, he became angry, but after all, he didn't drive people away, anyway, it was just a matter of a meal. There is no shortage of a pair of chopsticks at home.

It wasn't until dinner that Mu Yan reluctantly got up and said goodbye: "It's not early, grandfather, sister, eldest brother, Zhen Zhen, I'll go first." ”

Mu Yan stared at Duanmufei expectantly, hoping that Duanmufei could send him away, and he could hold her little hand by the way, and say something considerate or something.

Duanmu Xian saw Mu Yan's intentions at a glance, and planned to find someone to send him off.

However, before Duanmu Xian's words could be spoken, Mu Yan, who thought that it was a one, remembered one more thing, and said thoughtfully: "By the way, grandfather, you have been very busy again recently. If you can't keep busy with Zhenzhen's marriage, I can ask my mother to come over and help. ”

"You don't need to prepare a lot of dowry, if there is anything missing, I just ask my mother to send it."

"Grandfather, don't be polite to me, we will be a family in the future, don't see each other."

Mu Yan looked at Duanmu Xian with a smile, and expressed his sincerity with a sincere face, I really wanted everything to be prepared for Duanmu Fei. In fact, as long as someone marries, it's fine!

"......" The green tendons on Duanmu Xian's forehead jumped, and he had the urge to catch people again.

What is this Mu Yan talking about again!

Throughout the ages, when two families got married, how could there be a woman to let the man help, and how could the man come to help the woman prepare the dowry!

I don't know what to say, this kid is really getting more and more ignorant!

In the face of this unobtrusive future grandson-in-law, Duanmu Xian couldn't care about giving face to his little granddaughter, so he was directly shocked.

Mu Yan touched his nose and had to leave obediently, seeing that Duanmu Xian was angry, he didn't dare to add fuel to the fire and propose to let Duanmu Fei send him off.

Hey, beating is kissing, scolding is love, whether it's a big brother or a grandfather, those don't treat him as an outsider.

Mu Yan turned around and walked away step by step.

Duanmu Xian also sent his two granddaughters and eldest grandson down to rest: "Four girls, you're tired after playing for a long time, go back to rest with your sister earlier." Ah Heng, you can also go back to accompany your daughter-in-law and Brother Ze. ”

When the grandchildren left the hall, Duanmu Xian also planned to go back to the outer study, but he got up and stopped suddenly.

Duanmu Xian suddenly remembered one thing slowly, just before Mu Yan left, it seemed that he was going to be very busy again?

What do you mean?!

It's been pretty stable in the court lately.

Duanmuxian pondered suspiciously: Although a group of officials were forced to go to office in advance, after this period of reform of the bureaucratic system, the process of handling affairs was streamlined, and this manpower was barely enough. Everyone is doing their part now, and it's going well.

Wait a minute!

Duanmu Xian frowned again.

Mu Yan, this kid, will never be untargeted, so could it be that he is going to do something "big"?!

When this thought appeared in Duanmuxian's heart, Duanmuxian chuckled in his heart, and a vague premonition floated.

With Mu Yan's temperament, he said that the things that can make him "very busy" are afraid that he will stir up a storm in the court again.

Forget it.

Duanmu Xian broke the jar and said to himself, anyway, it's useless to worry, let's talk about tomorrow tomorrow.

Sure enough, Duanmu Xian was fed.

Early the next morning, Mu Yan ordered a thorough investigation of the Sun family's in-laws, and handed over the matter to Jin Yiwei.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

At this moment, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked.

The Sun family has adopted daughters from generation to generation, and the men of the Sun family have a wide range of concubines, and there are many concubines and concubines, and the in-laws are all over the court.

The in-laws of the Sun family were all scared, and they didn't know what Mu Yan wanted to do.

It stands to reason that unless it is a major case of rebellion, it will not cause trouble to the married woman, and it will not be related to the in-laws.

There was speculation in the court, and people's hearts were in turmoil.

Since the matter has developed to this point, the cabinet no longer hides it, and publicly states that the Sun family is the original Nanhuai installed in Dasheng's internal details.

The hall was in an uproar, and the entire court was almost shaken.

The second watch is at 14:30

Is there a commuter pass for me?
