Chapter 218: Venting
Chapter 218: Venting
Xue Mingrui was referring to Gu Ying's matter, Prince An's distress this time was just the beginning, and there would be even greater changes in the court in the future.
Gu Ying is a lead, I don't know who it will burn to in the end.
Tao Zhengan's matter, as long as Xue Mingrui helps, she will do it more smoothly.
Coming out of the suite, Rong Hua and Xue Mingrui entered the study.
The study has just been incense, the faint aroma is refreshing, it makes people smell a lot more relaxed, the sky is cloudy and it seems to be raining, the colorful ears of the palace lamps blown by the wind are fluttering, Chunyao and Mu Hibiscus are busy closing the window, and the new little maid follows Jinxiu with the tea tray, which contains a teacup and a small tea hanging.
The little maid had just learned the rules, and she only knew how to serve the tea, Jinxiu stretched out her hand and glanced at the little maid, and the little maid immediately stopped smartly and put the tea tray in her hand on the table.
Chunyao took everyone to retreat, and went to the newly selected maid green banana from below in Jinxiu Sect, "The rules are correct, but our yard is different from others, Master Hou doesn't like the maid to come forward to serve, it is all the young lady herself, if there is such a thing in the future, you can just put it down from afar." ”
Hearing this, the green banana hurriedly responded.
Jinxiu smiled slightly, the newly selected little maid wanted to explain to them that there were big rules in this courtyard, and there were few other thoughts, so that those ill-intentioned cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods outside would not dare to come in.
The rain fell quickly, and only the sound of wind and rain could be heard, and the house was quiet, Xue Mingrui picked up the teacup and drank tea. How long did Rong Hua get married? There are rules everywhere in the yard, and the people below can do things in peace, and the placement in the house makes people feel fresh and warm.
I didn't realize that the house was always a little lonely before, but now I want to go home non-stop as soon as I come out of the yamen. The home makes people feel comfortable and relaxed, and they are also used to enjoying the tranquility and Rong Hua sat down to talk, "Last night, Rong Chuan took Shi Jinzhou to almost all over Dongcheng, and finally roughly delineated a range. It didn't take much effort to find the courtyard of Song Zhao, an official of the Ministry of Industry, and the emperor used the Beijing camp to arrest people directly. Also arrested was Fan Shen, the official of the Criminal Department who took people to Prince An Zhuangzi to check the dirty silver. ”
"It took a lot of effort to interrogate these two people, and Shi Mian was the same as Shi Mian at first, and then they heard that Shi Mian confessed, and the two of them were relieved, and they pushed the charge to Shi Mian, saying that Shi Mian learned that the matter of greedy ink was going to be revealed, so he asked Song Zhao to transport the silver out, and it happened that Prince An had newly purchased a Zhuangzi, and Zhuangzi was repairing, and there were not many people on the village, so Song Zhao ordered someone to branch out the steward of Zhuangzi and hide the silver in Prince An's Zhuangzi."
Rong Hua heard the clue, "Did Song Zhao say who he was doing things for?" "It is impossible for a small official to think of framing Prince An.
Xue Mingrui said: "This is what Song Zhao and Shi Mian refused to confess, Song Zhao said that he was ordered by Shi Mian, and Shi Mian said that Song Zhao was a villain and blamed him for all the sins." Prince An relentlessly demanded to find out the truth, saying that Song Zhao was instructed by someone behind him. ”
Prince An still doesn't give up?
The case has been tried to such a point, and the verdict is the most favorable for Prince An, and expanding the case to the attention of the government and the opposition will inevitably cause partisan disputes and affect the government and politics.
Xue Mingrui said: "Prince An knelt in the palace all night, and the emperor only said four words, and the matter was calm. ”
I'm afraid that the four words of Ningren are not just for Prince An.
The drought in the south, the unrest everywhere in the frontier, a large mess of things to deal with inside and outside, and the princes only cared about attacking each other and trampling on each other.
What's more, Prince An is not sure that he can find out all this, how many people in the court are on his side.
"Prince An's newly bought Zhuangzi has built a big stage and raised a troupe, and the repair of the Zhuangzi has always been according to the meaning of the servant."
Even singing and dancing are forbidden in the palace, but Prince An is raising servants and setting up a stage, and letting those servants take care of things, how can those servants be reliable? No wonder Prince An is reluctant to show the matter of Zhuangzi as it is.
Xue Mingrui told Prince An what he had talked to him secretly that day.
Although Rong Hua had expected it, he was still surprised that Prince An really thought that such a big matter could cover up the past.
No matter who it is, as long as he thinks about framing Prince An, he must have thought of a good move, even if the court can't find out, Song Zhao is responsible for the silver that is greedy for ink, and he will definitely not be able to get out, so it is better to do nothing and try his best to drag Prince An into the water.
Xue Mingrui said again: "Prince Zhuang stood outside the palace gate all night, waiting for the face saint to intercede for Prince An. ”
No wonder Prince Zhuang has a reputation for benevolence and virtuousness, standing outside the palace gate for one night can not only know the holy will as quickly as possible, but also get rid of his suspicion, at least to make Prince An and his party speechless.
The emperor suppressed this matter, and taught Prince An a lesson openly and secretly, as long as Prince An behaved as his prince from now on, there must be no more major incidents, I am afraid that Prince An will not listen to the advice, and he must try his best to avenge this revenge.
Rong Hua thought carefully about Xue Mingrui's words today, why did he make these things clear to her, and his heart suddenly lit up, "What does Master Hou mean is that Gu Ying's matter is related to Prince An?" ”
Xue Mingrui's eyes suddenly showed a bit of approval.
"How can Asari be ...... recently" is so uneasy.
Xue Mingrui said lightly: "The emperor usually goes to accompany him in early April and returns in early September. This time, there are so many things in the capital, and the emperor has to go to accompany the capital, and they all say that the capital is clean and suitable for recuperation. ”
So they all think that it is an emergency, and when will it be when they don't fight for being ugly.
In the evening, I went to the old lady's house for dinner
Xue Chongyi and the second wife entered the house and saw Rong Hua and the old lady talking and laughing.
The old lady beckoned Xue Chongyi and the second wife to sit down, and instructed Xue Yu, "Go and serve two bowls of white fungus lotus seed soup," and said and joked to Rong Hua, "This is Rong Hua's own hands, and he also made pastries, you can taste them later." ”
The second wife looked at Rong Hua and sat next to Xue Mingrui, with a soft smile on her face. Today, she was in the house all day listening to the news outside, but Rong Hua still had the leisure to give it by herself?
The old lady got up and went to the back to change her clothes, and Xue Chongyi and the others sat and talked in the hall.
Xue Chongyi didn't wait for the maid to bring the lotus seed soup and asked Xue Mingrui, "How is the errand of the Ministry of Works?" ”
Xue Mingrui said: "The case has been closed, and the fold has been handed over." ”
Xue Chongyi was very surprised, "So fast? Got it all figured out? ”
Xue Mingrui said: "It's all clear." ”
Xue Chongyi's eyes flickered, in disbelief, "Prince Na'an......"
Xue Mingrui seemed to point out, "Thanks to Rong Hua and I going to Prince An's Mansion, otherwise this case might not have been handled so smoothly." ”
This sentence was said so sharply, Xue Chongyi looked at Rong Hua along Xue Mingrui, and his face was a little annoyed.
Rong Hua's heart was cold, and Xue Chongyi's eyes looked like she had complained to Xue Mingrui. In fact, if Xue Chongyi blamed her, she didn't mention it in front of Xue Mingrui.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became so strange that anyone could perceive it.
Xue Mingrui also seemed to be surprised, and didn't understand why Xue Chongyi reacted so strongly, so he turned his head to Xue Chongyi and looked at him in a daze.
Xue Chongyi's originally menacing gaze made Xue Mingrui look at each other motionlessly with questions, Xue Chongyi breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
Xue Mingrui hesitated to speak, "What does the second uncle think is wrong?" ”
Xue Mingrui had already said that thanks to going to Prince An's mansion to investigate the case so clearly, what else could he say inappropriately? Xue Chongyi coughed twice, with a stiff smile on his face, "It's nothing, it's just that I'm worried that you won't be able to do your errand." ”
The old lady changed her clothes and came out of the inner room.
Xue Mingrui said: "Second uncle, don't worry. ”
The second wife said with a busy smile: "The case of the Ministry of Industry is concluded in the first instance, and the master may be able to go back on an errand." ”
Xue Chongyi seemed to be smiling.
Xue Mingrui picked up the teacup to drink tea, and Rong Hua quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Xue Mingrui really said such things inadvertently? She turned her head and clearly saw Xue Mingrui taking a sip of tea, his slender eyes curled.
Rong Hua lost his mind slightly, and the old lady took the list in her hand to the second wife, "Rong Hua will let people write a list of all the children of the right age, and they will be brought into the house to choose from tomorrow, and you must inform in advance how many people you need in your yard." ”
The second wife nodded and smiled: "I really have a few people short." ”
Rong Hua took a sip of tea and turned her face to look at the second wife, she asked her to go and check it roughly, there was no shortage of maids and mothers-in-law in the second wife's room, and the short ones were in Xue Mingwei's house.
Dealing with the maids in Xue Mingwei's room is a matter of the second room, she is not ready to go through this troubled water, Rong Hua said with a smile: "When those maids are sent to the house, the second aunt will only choose people at that time, and the house will select all the people, and let the rest be brought back." ”
The second wife was a little surprised, the old lady handed over such an errand to Rong Hua, and Rong Hua didn't make enough benefits? Even if she doesn't collect money, she still has to accept favors, so why let her choose people by herself? Could it be something else?
The second wife smiled: "Rong Hua has chosen, I'll let the maid get it." ”
Rong Hua smiled, "Second aunt, don't shirk." "How can the second wife allow others to place people in her yard, even if she chooses it herself, she will definitely be picked out by the second wife, and those who have the heart to get closer to the second wife, she can't keep it, it's better to go with the flow, everyone can see it clearly.
The second wife was difficult to ride a tiger for a while.
The old lady smiled: "Since Rong Hua said so, you will choose it when the time comes, and you will choose it yourself." ”
The second wife responded.
The old lady smiled: "Okay, okay, let's go and see why the others haven't been there?" As he was talking, Mrs. Xue, the third master, the third wife, the fourth master, and the fourth wife all entered the house one after another.
The fourth master's complexion was much better than a few days ago, and the old lady couldn't help but be happy when she saw it, "My son, if you can go on like this, I will be relieved." ”
The fourth old man hurriedly saluted and said, "Let my mother worry." ”
The old lady said, "You should spend more time in the house." ”
The fourth lady said on the side: "The master also felt much better, so he tried to get out of bed." ”
The old lady smiled: "Tomorrow, please come over and ask to see if you can go to the ground to move." ”
The fourth master responded.
The old lady nodded.
The third lady was a little absent-minded from the moment she entered the house, the third old man's face was pale, and the two of them sat on the chair and didn't speak, let alone make eye contact.
The fourth lady glanced at her eyes casually, and hurriedly took the third wife's hand to look, "Why is the nail broken?" ”
Rong Hua followed and looked over, and the third wife's nails were indeed broken and bleeding.
The third wife said busily: "Maybe I went to the greenhouse to fold flowers and accidentally touched them." "Pick up a handkerchief and wipe it.
The maid next to the third lady was busy serving.
The old lady was concerned and complained, "In the future, let the maids do this kind of thing, they all say that ten fingers are connected to the heart, and I don't know how it hurts."
When the third lady heard this, she turned her head to look at the third master.
The third old man turned his face away with a weak heart.
After everyone ate, they went back to the house, walked through the moon gate, Rong Hua lowered his eyelids and whispered, "How did Master Hou know?" ”
Xue Mingrui picked up Rong Hua with his hand, "I can't be wronged in front of my eyes." ”
Rong Hua whispered: "Second uncle is an elder. ”
Xue Mingrui said lightly: "I didn't rush him either." ”
There is no collision...... It's not that there is no collision. On the contrary, I felt very surprised, I didn't expect that the decent and strict Wu Muhou would also use such a method.
Xue Chongyi should also think about the Xue family, and he can't blindly stare at the hereditary title.
"A hereditary title is not necessarily a good thing, sometimes, it is better to have no ......" whether there is a title or not is the emperor's sentence, sometimes everyone wants it, but no one knows the hard work behind the title, especially the hereditary title, which is the source of family discord.
Xue Mingrui's faint voice came, Rong Hua was slightly stunned, and joked: "Then if there is no title, and the marquis does not serve in the imperial court, what should we do?" ”
Xue Mingrui smiled slightly, his voice was clear, "I am a farmer, and you are a peasant woman." ”
……
The case of the Ministry of Industry's embezzlement of ink was quickly decreed, and Shi Mian and other main culprits were all cut in half, and they were immediately executed three days later. Prince An personally supervised the beheading.
After the death of Shi Mian and others, the case was closed.
Two days later, the emperor chose an auspicious day to accompany the capital.
Second Mrs. Xue was already busy, packed Xue Mingwei's burden over and over again, and then personally gave it to the old lady and asked the old lady to help take a look, "It's the first time for Mingwei to go out, and I don't know what to bring, so far away." ”
The old lady smiled: "If you are worried, follow along, the house in the capital has been cleaned up." ”
Second Mrs. Xue smiled slightly, "I would like to, but I have to prepare for Mingwei's marriage," her eyes flashed as she spoke, "There are some things that I still have to let the old lady decide." ”
Oops, I'm sorry
I went out for the exam today so I was late, and I wanted to write a thousand more words, so I ......
It's finally finished.
