One Hundred and Forty-Seven: The Insider
Jiang Songwen is an easily complacent person.
He should also be proud, his status is exalted because of his father, his father is invincible, and Emperor Longqing is an even more important right-hand man than Lin Sanshao.
It was folded in the hands of Wei An and Shen Chen before, and he almost had an accident, which was his only frustration.
This time, with his father's hand, he quietly made Wei An and Shen Chen bleed, which made him extremely proud.
As soon as people are proud, they will inevitably be more proud, and on the way to the court one day, when he saw Du Ziling, a protégé of Chen Yushi kneeling in Zuo Shunmen, who interceded for Chen Yushi, he sneered.
followed by Du Ziling and went to prison.
The crime is to intercede for disloyal and unkind criminals like Chen Yushi, which is disrespectful to the heavenly family.
Lin Sanshao had no intention of asking for Du Ziling's life.
At first, it was obvious that Emperor Longqing did not have this idea.
For him, although this kind of intercession is hateful, but after the human performance, he forgets that it is not worth his effort.
Generally speaking, Lin Sanshao can dispose of Du Ziling by himself, let him stay in the edict prison for a while, and wait until Emperor Longqing's anger is gone, and then find an opportunity to let him out.
But this time something happened.
Du Ziling died, and after being imprisoned for more than a month, he died in the Imperial Prison, and his death was miserable, he was tortured to death by excessive torture.
The terrifying thing is that this matter was not Lin Sanshao's instructions.
He has already given an order not to worry about Du Ziling, this is to tell the people below his attitude.
But this time, no one listened to his orders, which can only show that Jinyiwei is no longer under his control.
In fact, on the surface, it is said that it is because of the intercession for Chen Yushi that angered the saint, but smart people have their own scales in their hearts, and they know that the joints of the matter are not here at all, but because Du Ziling interceded for Chen Yushi and offended the father and son who reduced the price, so they will suffer from this catastrophe.
After this incident, the power of the Jiang family has risen to a higher level, and it has the meaning of those who oppose me to die, and those who follow me to prosper.
Even Lin Sanshao couldn't compete with it, and everyone was afraid of the Jiang family's father and son to the top.
Mrs. Ping'an Hou was uneasy, she couldn't sleep all night after night these days, and finally looked forward to Ping'an Hou Xiumu, so she asked him very frightened: "What will we do in the future?" Seeing that the Wei family and the royal mansion are ....."
She slumped in her chair, her face tired and haggard: "I know that the Holy Lord is both useful and wary of the Linjiang Palace, but I don't know that the Holy Lord would be so angry because of a Chen Yushi......"
The words were a little incoherent, but Ping'an Hou understood what she meant, reached out to hold her arm to support her, and he shook his head lightly: "You don't have to think so much, now there is no other way to think about it except to calm down." ”
Mrs. Ping'an Hou couldn't agree with him, the woman's family was always more insecure, she sobbed for a while, shook her head lowly, and seemed to be talking to herself: "How can you not think about it more?" Du Ziling had an accident a few days ago..... The people of their family begged for mercy everywhere.... Think about it, the Du family can be regarded as a solid family, but there is no way, he is Chen Yushi's protégé, so many people have not been able to save him, he has a daughter-in-law, born with first-class beauty..... In the past, because Du Ziling was in an official position, there was nothing to ..... But Du Ziling had an accident..... Immediately after that, something happened....."
This matter is known to the Marquis of Ping'an.
Du Ziling has a daughter-in-law who was born in a merchant, looks extremely beautiful, and is also famous in the circle of the capital, beautiful women have always been the focus of men's pursuit.
But as soon as Du Ziling fell into trouble, it was useless to ask people everywhere, so something happened.
He couldn't imagine how these old and weak women and children in the family would be preserved if he fell into the quagmire one day.
Seeing that he was silent, Mrs. Ping'an Hou knew that what she said was also in his mind, and couldn't help but say: "The people of the Jiang family are so pressing and refusing to back down, and the saint is so fortunate to them..... Where can the Wei family compete with it? I'm just afraid, if the Wei family falls, how good will our fate be? Do you say that if you turn against now, will you ......?"
She also wants to maintain the previous relationship with the Wei family, after all, in addition to the old relationship with Mrs. Wei, just talking about the cooperation with the Wei family these days, the return she has received is enough to satisfy her.
And she didn't hesitate to throw her niece out and fill the house for Wei Yangqing.
But now it is a matter of life and death for their family, she really has no way to continue to maintain her previous composure and self-confidence, it's okay if nothing happens, once something happens, it will be the life of the family, just looking at the fate of Du Ziling now, you can know how deep the Jiang family's father and son's fear of them has become.
They are much closer to the Wei family than Du Ziling.
She really had to think about the way forward for herself and her family.
Ping'an Hou immediately reacted to his wife's meaning, shook his head categorically, and said without hesitation: "This can't be done, if we do this now, who will we become?" The father and son of the Jiang family may spare our lives, but the future of our family will end here, and we will be laughed at for the rest of our lives! Besides, have you forgotten? King Linjiang and Mrs. Wei, which of them is easy to deal with? If we have any different intentions, they are not the Bodhisattvas in the temple and have no temperament, and when the time comes, what can we get? It's really not a good idea to break the covenant at this time. ”
Mrs. Ping'an Hou lowered her eyes, only to feel very depressed in her heart.
It didn't work, it wasn't good, she didn't know what to do to get through the difficult time in front of her.
The two were relatively silent for a long time before she sighed deeply and frowned: "It's really uncomfortable to hang people like this, I'm really scared." Isn't there any way for the Wei family and the King of Linjiang to save the situation? If the Jiang family continues to act like this, what will happen to the Linjiang Mansion and the Wei family at that time? Could it be that the county lord is so unconcerned? ”
Ping'an Hou immediately shook his head, looked at the honeysuckle outside the window, and said firmly: "That's not necessarily, I don't think the county lord is such an easy person to accept his fate, it is impossible to admit defeat before the war, there must be some reason .....in it."
