In the evening of this day, as soon as the sedan chair of Sun Kai, the head of the household department, arrived at the gate of the house, a flower child who asked for rice suddenly rushed out. When the subordinates saw it, they quickly surrounded the people.

Xiao Xianghua was not afraid, and his little hand took out a letter from his tattered cotton jacket, saying that someone had spent money to ask him to hand over the letter to Lord Shangshu himself.

Sun Kai lifted the sedan chair, coughed lightly, and the personal servant hurriedly took out two taels of broken silver from his arms and stuffed them into Xiao Zhaohua's hand.

Xiao Yu spent the money, weighed it in his hand, stuffed the letter into the little girl's arms, turned around a few times, and the person ran away without a trace.

Sun Kai opened the letter, and his face changed after just a few glances. This night, the lights in Sun Kai's study were lit until midnight.

Early in the morning of the second day, the Sun family reported that the eldest wife Cao voluntarily handed over the power of housekeeping in order to atone for the expelled uncle, set up a Buddhist hall in the house, ate fasting and recited Buddha, and led the practice.

When the news reached the East Courtyard, Li's mother said angrily: "There are two lives in her hands, and she has harmed the second lady like this, and she has cheapened her by eating fasting and chanting Buddha." ”

It turns out that Cao's person seems to be gentle and generous, a group of kind, and his ability to deal with people secretly is really not small.

Her husband Sun Yun originally had a beautiful concubine named Liu Fang, who was born in a small family, and the only younger brother in the family had a strange disease, and spent all the family's savings, and was still hanging half-dead, so he had no choice but to sell himself to the land of fireworks and willows.

Sun Yun saw that his complexion was beautiful, it was the cardamom years, and he was innocent, so he spent some money to redeem the person home, and in just three months after entering the house, Liu Fang became pregnant.

At this time, Cao had just married into the Sun family for a year, and he was not pregnant.

Coincidentally, this Liu Fang has been doing housework in her mother's house since she was a child, and her body is extremely strong, and she has been sad for half a year, but she is pregnant again.

This deeply stimulated Cao's family, she took bitter medicine every day, begged God to worship the Buddha, and couldn't conceive. Aunt Liu is good, she has one pregnancy after another, she can't look at it, she is really more human than human, she is angry, Cao's hatred in her heart.

It just so happened that a maid carried her aunt's concubine and waited for Sun Yun since she was a child, and she had a little bit of a big deal in front of the Cao family, so she made a move to set up a blame and kill two birds with one stone. Unfortunately, Liu Fang's body has not yet recovered, she is pregnant, she is already in deficit, and she has experienced the pain of a miscarriage.

The little concubine couldn't distinguish between them, and wrote a suicide note to die Mingzhi, and a bed of sheets ended her life. How do you know that Cao's chess is a high one, and he bought off the next person early and burned the suicide note. As a result, the little concubine died without a clear will, and ended up committing suicide in fear of sin.

Coincidentally, two months after the two aunts were killed, Cao was actually pregnant, and after she became pregnant in October, she gave birth to a son, who was Sun Jinghui.

Sun Jinghui has been gifted and intelligent since he was a child, with a dignified appearance, and is very talented in reading, and is regarded by Sun Shangshu as the successor of the Sun family. should have a bright future, flowers blooming and rich, how do you know that such an outstanding person, but he suffered from a man's most fatal disease, and it can be seen that in the blindness, there is his own providence, cause and effect reincarnation, and retribution is unhappy.

Xin Yao put down the medical book, smiled faintly at Mother Li, and said: "The camp has been in the camp for a lifetime, and it has disappeared in one day, mother, there is no better retribution than this." ”

Jiang Xinyao didn't want to kill them all, but in the matter of Jiang Xinyu, she was in line with the principle of hello, me, and brothers. You give me a way out, I'll let you go, everyone knows it, maybe you can say hello when you meet.

How do you know that the Cao family has been in the Sun family's house for decades, and it is the first time that they have suffered such a big loss, how can they be willing? If you can't find Jiang Xinyu, it's good to spit two mouthfuls of saliva on the Jiang family. So, after figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, Jiang Xinyao thought for a while, and told the man what she was thinking about at night, so there was the scene where the little flower child was at the gate of the Sun Mansion.

… Although Mother Li was not angry, when she saw the eldest grandmother say this, she had to put it down, she thought about it and said, "Second Miss, did you ...... this news?"

Xin Yao was silent for a long time before she said lightly: "Cao's matter, tell her that she is defenseless, how to act, let the second sister make up her own mind." My mother brought another 2,000 taels of silver, which was my gift to the child. ”

Mother Li remembered Xin Yao's words one by one, and got up to work outside.

……

In the early morning of this day, the emperor was about to go down to court, and the chamberlain hurriedly came to report and presented the secret letter in his hand.

The old emperor watched the tantra with a gloomy face and did not say a word. Just as the drums were beating in the hearts of the hundred officials, the emperor ordered the attendants to read it aloud. After hearing this, the officials were secretly frightened but hung their heads silently.

It turned out that after the beginning of winter, heavy snowfalls fell frequently in Huguang and Guangzhou, many houses collapsed, people were homeless, and many people froze to death. In addition, this summer there was a flood, there was a shortage of food, the people sold their sons and daughters, and there was no way to live.

After the chamberlain finished reading, there was silence in the hall for a while.

The emperor had a straight face, and after looking around, his eyes fell on Shi Jie, the secretary of the military department, and said, "What do you think of Aiqing?" ”

As soon as Sun Kai, the head of the household department, heard that Huguang and Guang were in a bad way, he hurriedly stepped forward and said loudly: "The rogue is rampant, and the military department should lead troops to suppress it." ”

Shi Jie, the secretary of the military department who was named, stepped forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the people have no way to live, so they have become rogues, and the ministers think that disaster relief should be the top, pacification is the middle, and suppression is the bottom. ”

Sun Kai said coldly: "If it can be appeased, why can Huguang and Guangzhou send a letter to Beijing in an expedited manner for 800 miles." In addition, the snow in Beijing lasted for several days, several times larger than in previous years, and no one froze to death, nor did the people be displaced, so it can be seen that the so-called lack of life is just an excuse for the criminals to commit crimes. ”

When the officials saw that Shi Shangshu and Sun Shangshu were on the bar, they looked at the two princes silently, waiting for the changes.

King Jing smiled faintly: "Sun Shangshu's words are reasonable. Although the two places in Huguang were flooded in the summer and summer of this year, my father was kind and allocated five million taels of silver to order disaster relief. Although it is snowing heavily, the common people have only been able to get money and food for half a year, and they will not be reduced to risking their lives to be the rogue, it can be seen that some chaotic ministers and thieves use the people as an excuse and have ulterior motives! ”

As soon as Sun Shangshu heard King Jing mention the disaster relief funds, his heart was like a drum, and he was about to cover up the past, but when he heard Shi Shangshu's thoughtful look, he stopped talking: "The prince is reasonable, but the old minister's is not, it's just ......."

The emperor stroked his beard and said, "It's just what, old Shangshu, don't come quickly." ”

Shi Shangshu said rightly: "Back to the emperor, the minister was just worried that someone would borrow money to enrich himself, so that the people would have no money and no food, and they would encounter natural disasters repeatedly, so they raised troops to rebel." ”

"Bold!"

King Han's face changed slightly, and he shouted loudly: When the Empress Dowager was there, in order to stop borrowing for self-improvement, she actually put a heavy canon, and the law was practiced for several years, and no one in the court dared to defy the law. Shi Shangshu, when the words come out of your mouth, you must think twice, lest you be accused of being framed by a court official, you can't hang up your old face! ”

Shi Jie was reprimanded so red-faced, but said solemnly: "Han Wang Mingjian, there is a way that people die for money, and birds die for food. It is not possible that there will be those bold people who ignore the country, the people and the law, so that the officials force the people to rebel! ”

King Han was choked and was about to get angry, but when he saw King Jing, he smiled slightly and said: "Big brother, Shi Shangshu is also kind, if there is one, you will know if you have it." By the way, the person sent to Huguang last time was Su Shangshu's son, Su Mingjie in the Ministry of Works. Su Shangshu, why don't you talk about it! ”

… Su Kangping, the secretary of the ministry, shook his body, and immediately knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, the minister guarantees that he will never dare to act recklessly and be greedy for ink and silver!" ”

King Han held back his anger and said, "Second brother, if the time is delayed, who will bear this charge?" ”

King Jing did not show weakness, and said-for-tat: "Big brother, only by clarifying the truth can we prescribe the right medicine." ”

King Han said angrily: "The truth is already very clear, someone in the name of natural disasters, rebellion, should immediately lead troops to suppress it, so as to prevent future troubles." ”

King Jing sneered: "Natural disasters are by no means the only ones in Huguang and Guangzhou, why don't you see rebellion elsewhere?" It can be seen that this matter is not only a natural disaster, but also **! ”

"Listening to the second brother, it seems that I moved the disaster relief money?"

"The younger brother has no such intention, who moved the disaster relief money, you will know it after checking, why should the eldest brother take it from himself?"

"You...... Licentious! ”

"Big brother, it's an important matter for the court, and the second brother has to be presumptuous!"

The confrontation between the two princes is by no means a past, and there are often quarrels above the court, most of them forbear each other, and it is rare to do it openly like this.

The emperor threw the teacup on the table, and Long Yan said angrily: "Shut up for me." ”

Seeing that the emperor was angry, the hundred officials knelt on the ground with hulala.

Only Shi Shangshu was independent of the people, he bowed slightly, and sighed: "Your Majesty, water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn a boat." The spark of the spark is enough to set the prairie on fire, and the minister implores the emperor to investigate to the end for the sake of the country and the world! ”

After speaking, Shi Shangshu bowed to the ground.

Sun Shangshu glanced at King Han with his spare eyes, gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, the rogue is rampant, messing with our country's fortunes, committing the following crimes, and making great rebellions, the minister implores the emperor to lead troops to suppress it as a warning!" ”

The emperor looked at the ministers under him coldly, his eyes moved from King Han to King Jing, and then from King Jing back to King Han, and he was silent for a long time, as if it was difficult to choose.

The ministers beat the drum in their hearts and waited to see what happened.

The emperor said for a long time: "The rebellion between Huguang and Guangzhou, King Jing." ”

"Erchen is here!"

"From now on, lead the troops to find out the truth of the matter, if it is really a chaotic minister and thief who deceives people's minds and plots rebellion, it will be suppressed immediately."

King Jing's eyes darkened, and he hurriedly said: "Father, son, ......."

"What, do you have any objections?"

The emperor dragged out a long tone, and his face was uncertain.

King Jing's face changed a few times, and finally he said loudly: "The son obeys the order!" ”

The emperor snorted coldly, his eyes moved from King Jing to King Han, and said with a straight face: "The matter of borrowing money to run himself, the household department of King Han and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will investigate together, if anyone really dares to be bold, he will be severely punished." ”

When King Han heard that it was a person from the Household Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he smiled on his face and said solemnly: "The son obeys the order!" ”

"Retreat!"

Su Shangshu and Sun Shangshu glanced at each other and secretly breathed a sigh of relief! RS (Miss Jiang Si.. /0/602/)--
