Chapter 596: Do your best
Jiang Xian's eyes were about to pop out, "Who came up with a good idea!" ”
Mu Jiu estimated that most of it was Lin Changsheng who came up with it, and the crown prince added, but she was reluctant to say this in front of Jiang Xian, so as not to be suspicious of showing off, "It is estimated that it is His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness has always been far-sighted." ”
Jiang Xian glanced at Mu Jiu meaningfully, "Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been resourceful, and he will definitely be able to become a generation of Ming Jun in the future!" ”
"Please keep this matter secret, even Lord Luo can't say it, it's not that he doesn't believe Lord Luo, but the fewer people who know, the better."
She needs someone to stand up and preside over the overall situation, Luo Lian's official position is on par with Jiang Xian, but in comparison, the head of the household is more important, in case of an accident, the consequences are unimaginable, under the trade-off, she feels that it is more suitable to let Jiang Xian do this, and telling him the truth is also after thinking.
"Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion."
"Master Jiang does things, I don't worry!"
"As for those who want to defect, let them be, I've been meditating at home for the past few days, and I've figured it out, my mind is not firm enough, and betrayal is a matter of time."
It is not so much about losing a part of the hearts of the people as it is about getting rid of that part of the people who are not faithful enough.
Mu Jiu didn't get the prince's personal admission, but based on his understanding of the prince, he could guess his mind somewhat.
Sure enough, after Jiang Xian left, there were much fewer quarrels between the court and China, but some people fell to Xia Qingyu.
After all, the crown prince is far away from the capital, who can guarantee that he will be able to come back safely, and even if he does, how can he compare to the second prince who has been arranging troops in the capital?
It's not wrong for people to plan for themselves, but their positions are different.
Mu Jiu and Jiang Xian saw this, and just quietly wrote down the names of those defective ministers and waited for the prince to return.
But the tree wants to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop, and something happened to Luo Lian.
One of his right-hand men, Fan Dachang, reported that he had stained the amount of relief money from last year's snow disaster, which amounted to as much as 100,000 taels.
As soon as the incident came out, there was an uproar in the Great Xia Kingdom.
Luo Lian was ordered by Emperor Xia to put him under house arrest and not let people visit, and he would make a decision after the matter was clarified.
Originally, it was only known to hundreds of officials, but it was spread by people with good intentions, and it became known to everyone in the capital, and there were discussions everywhere, and Luo Lian was scolded one-sidedly.
"Sure enough, who would have thought that Lord Luo Lianluo, who has always been famous for his incorruptibility, would be greedy for so much silver!"
"It's not, seeing that he doesn't usually interact with other adults, I thought he was out of place because he was honest and different, but he was worried that others would see him greedy for money!"
"Lord Luo is like this, isn't it worse for others? Greedy for more? ”
"Not necessarily, you look at Prime Minister Zuo, there has never been such a situation, yesterday I also saw him and his wife go out to buy vegetables in person, I heard that there are only a few servants who take care of the housework at home, and there is not even a nursing home."
"I heard that Lord Chen, the right minister who took office first, is also good, and he is honest."
"Speaking of which, it seems that the people of the prince's faction are more greedy."
A group of people in the vegetable market and other places where there are many people, everywhere promote the corruption of the prince's faction, as if they are high-ranking officials in the court and know everything.
The rumors intensified, and even a three-year-old child knew that the crown prince was not a good person, and it was impossible for him to become a good emperor in the future.
In this regard, Mu Jiu and Jiang Xian did nothing, and put all their thoughts on saving Luo Lian.
At Mu Jiu's house, in the winter, Mu Jiu boiled ginger tea.
Jiang Xian, Dong Xinyang, and Meng Yiming, one of Luo Lian's right-hand men, were gathered around a round table.
Meng Yiming was deeply favored by Luo Lian, and his emotions were a little irrepressible at this time, "How can they be so arrogant!" ”
Jiang Xian said, "You are still too young, this is normal, but what kind of person Lord Luo is, the emperor knows in his heart, I don't think it's a big problem." ”
Dong Xinyang is just the young Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, he usually only cares about the security of the capital, and rarely directly participates in the affairs of the court, even if he has an opinion on this matter, he will not say it directly, he just wants to see what he can help.
Meng Yiming looked at Mu Jiu, "What do you think, what do you think, now I have no direction, and you are the only one!" ”
Mu Jiuyi, "How can I be a little girl, don't be like this, what Lord Luo didn't do, it will be fine." ”
"No, every time there is a dispute for succession, there will be innocent people who are implicated, and they will try their best to frame the teacher, so they must be ready, I am worried that the evidence will be forged seamlessly."
Jiang Xian snorted coldly, "What's the use of you being in a hurry with the head of the Mu Academy?" If you have the ability, you won't let Fan Dachang have a chance! ”
Meng Yiming's face flushed, "I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry." ”
"It's fine." Mu Jiu can understand, empathy, if her teacher is slandered, maybe she will be more anxious, "Since the evidence is forged, even if it is seamless, a way to crack it can be found." ”
"I met Fan Dachang yesterday and wanted to talk to him and ask him if he was coerced to frame the teacher, but he said that the teacher is such a person, and he couldn't stand it anymore before he came forward.
Didn't this man open his eyes and speak nonsense? Thinking that the teacher had spared no effort to cultivate him before, but he framed the teacher in turn, how could there be such a person, it was simply too hateful! ”
"He must have done a good job of mental construction before he stood up, it is impossible to listen to what you say easily, in the eyes of some people, what is the moral bottom line, power and power are the key, you don't have to go to him again, maybe he will bite you back and say that you want to threaten him."
Meng Yiming agreed, "He has already said this to the outside world." ”
Mu Jiu pondered for a moment and said, "Lord Jiang, can you help me check Fan Dachang's past?" ”
Jiang Xian continued, "Yes, it's easy. ”
Meng Yiming said, "No need to check, I know that his family background is not very good, and when he goes to the position of the household servant, it can be said that it all depends on his own efforts and the help of the teacher, but he will take revenge and frame the teacher, the scum of the human race!" ”
Mu Jiu had a rough idea in his heart, and poured a cup of ginger tea for everyone, "I'll go back and explore the emperor's tone, and for the rest, do your best." ”
Meng Yiming suddenly stood up and bowed to Mu Jiu, "Thank you Courtyard Master Mu." ”
"We are in the same boat, and we shouldn't let Lord Luo have an accident." I'm afraid, I'm afraid, things are harder than I imagined.
After sending a few people away, Mu Jiu asked Zero One to go to Shu Yuezhai and asked Shu Yuezhai's people to check Fan Dachang's origin, and after that, everything went according to plan.
The next day, headed by the Zuo Prime Minister in the court, a group of people began to put pressure on Emperor Xia Yuan, requesting that Luo Lian be dealt with as soon as possible.
Jiang Xian was able to resist on his own.
But after he went to court, he found that his wife was attacked by wanderers when she went out to buy vegetables.
Mu Jiu was so angry that he went directly to Ankang, "Ankang! ”
"Ouch my sister, why are you so angry?" An Kang didn't know why, but he was very innocent, "I sent a lot of people around your house to make sure you are okay, you don't have to worry." ”
After all, Ankang was innocent, Mu Jiu realized that her attitude was a little too much, "Your territory is about to be robbed, are you still here to roam?" ”
"Who dares to take my turf? It's almost as good as robbing me of the position of elder. ”
Mu Jiu hated that iron could not become steel, but he was helpless, "The wife of Lord Jiang of Jingzhao Mansion went out to buy vegetables and was attacked by a wanderer and was injured, isn't this your territory being robbed?" ”
Ankang didn't raise his eyelids, "Just those few miscellaneous things are worth your anger?" Sister, after your brother-in-law's absence, your temper has become more and more irritable. ”
Who saw his brother-in-law unpleasantly before, so he had to let her go with him? Now I'm very close to my brother-in-law!
Getting back to the point, "Help me find those people." ”
"Follow me."
Ankang took Mu Jiuqi around and walked to a small courtyard, and saw that the surrounding environment was very familiar, and it was actually next door to the small courtyard where she used to live.
Mrs. Jiang asked the painter to draw a portrait before, and Mu Jiu had also seen the portrait, so Mu Jiu recognized at a glance that the five people who were detained by Ankang were the five people who attacked Mrs. Jiang.
"You ......" is such a quick action!
Ankang still looked lazy, scratching his dirty hair, "Just these few miscellaneous pieces, what to use to rob Lao Tzu's territory, sister, don't worry, I even found out who their master is." ”
"Who?"
"Lan Yunfeng's people."
Mu Jiu and Jiang Xian had already guessed that this matter was related to Xia Qingyu, but it was confirmed from An Kang's mouth that Mu Jiu was still a little surprised.
originally thought that with Xia Qingyu's prudence, it would be impossible for Lan Yunfeng to come forward directly, but he didn't expect that Xia Qingyu was too lazy to cover up in order to consolidate his power as soon as possible.
Although he knew that the more arrogant Xia Qingyu was, the faster he would die, but Mu Jiu was worried that if he didn't wait for Emperor Xia to clean up Xia Qingyu, most of their people would be damaged.
It can't go on like this, Mu Jiu went to Jiang Xian again, "My lord, it's really not good, let your relatives try not to go out, you really have to go out, bring a few guards, and don't go to remote places, so as not to be taken advantage of, let other adults do the same, just survive this time." ”
What else can Jiang Xian do, "Don't worry, I have already ordered it to go down, I don't believe it, they can still hit my house!" ”
Since he arrived at Jiang Xian's house, Mu Jiu showed Mrs. Jiang the injury by the way, prescribed a prescription to help her with medicine, and then left Jiang Mansion.
Back at home, Zero One happened to come back from Shu Yuezhai, "Master, Shu Yuezhai has collected information about Fan Dachang before. ”
Zero One handed Mu Jiuyi a stack of papers, all of which were densely written with Fan Dachang's information, which was very detailed, even including what out-of-the-ordinary things he had done before.
Mu Jiu read it carefully, and had an idea in his heart, "Zero One, let's go to Fan's Mansion." ”
To achieve the position of the household servant, Fan Dachang's power is not small, the location of Fan's mansion is not far from Qijin Street, when Mu Jiu took Zero One to go, Mrs. Fan and the two maids just wanted to go out.
"Mrs. Fan." Mu Jiu and Zero One stopped in front of her, "Can we talk to you?" ”
Obviously, Mrs. Fan had been instructed by her husband in advance, and she wanted to leave with a straight face, "I have nothing to talk to you about." ”
