Chapter 248: Two Eyes
Coming from a modern age, Lan Yi naturally has a deep understanding of the importance of human connections. Born in business management, she has always believed that working hard to expand her network and make reasonable use of it is a wise way to get twice the result with half the effort, "Sister, I just asked Brother Tuesday to deliver a word, and my brother-in-law's ability to have today is mostly his own efforts." β
Not being proud of her achievements, being calm and confident at all times is what Xia Wan admires most about Lan Yi. Hearing her say this, Xia Wan didn't say anything more, waved her hand to let the maids and daughters around her step back, and whispered to Lan Yi: "Sister, I know that Tian Zhixian is going to have an accident this time." β
Lan Yi frowned slightly and listened carefully.
"Yu Yan passed the book for fear of leaking the news, so I didn't tell my sister in the letter." Xia Wan continued, "You must already know that the underground money village in Mei County is related to the son of Tian Zhi County, right? β
Lan Yi nodded, last year, the wife of Tian Chong, the shopkeeper of Wenxuan's rice grain shop, had partnered in business, but was deceived and bankrupt, and that time her partner used the name of the store pΓΉ to borrow a scary donkey from the Meixian underground money bank and run away after rolling the loan shark. Wang Chengde and the others found out that this underground money village was inextricably linked with Tian Daozhi's son Tian Keyuan, and Tian Keyuan and his brother-in-law Wang Mingli were very close, so Wang Chengde deduced that their target was the rice and grain shop in the big house. The investigation of the underground bank has not stopped for half a year, and even Zhang Pingyu and Zhao Zhongxuan have also participated in it, and it is found that the owner behind the underground bank is Tian Keyuan. Later, through their hands, the matter of the son of Tianzhi County opening an underground money bank was made public.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the opening of underground money banks to lend usury was expressly forbidden by the imperial court. Once it is discovered, not only will the property of the money village be confiscated, but the main people at that time will be exiled for thousands of miles to work as coolies. He was not allowed to return to his hometown for three years.
"After Tian Keyuan's underground money bank was exposed, the Dongping Prefecture Yamen directly sent someone down to investigate, although Tian Zhixian tried his best to exempt him from three years of exile, but the property of the money village was confiscated, Tian Keyuan was flogged for 40 years, and he was not allowed to participate in the imperial examination for six years."
The Great Zhou Imperial Examination is held once every three years, and it is a celebration of the country. Enke will also be added, but compared with the previous dynasty, the number of times Enke opened in the Great Zhou is much less. The emperor of the previous dynasty ascended the throne, the emperor married a wife, the emperor and his mother had dozens of birthdays, and even auspicious times fell from the sky. Tian Keyuan was banned from participating in the scientific examination for six years, which undoubtedly ruined his opportunity to become an official during these six years.
People who make black money like this deserve this. She heard Zhao Zhongxuan talk about this matter. Therefore, I am more concerned about how much Cheng DΓΉ was affected by Tian Daozhi in the case of the underground money bank, "My sister said that Tian Daozhi was going to have an accident, so it has something to do with this matter, right?" β
Lan Yi's habit of calling others by name rather than official position, Xia Wan already knew, so she only nodded and continued: "Sister should know, Tian Zhixian and Dongping Zhizhou Wei Xiang Wei have a close relationship, with the care of Lord Wei, Tian Zhixian should be able to get the news in advance." But this time Dongping sent officials down. He didn't get any news and was caught off guard. Very passive. But he immersed himself in the sea and explored his ways, and did not panic, but acted step by step, dealing with the officials sent down. β
Tian Daozhi is very honest and loves the people on the surface, and those who know him know that he is a hypocrite and a villain, but Tian Daozhi is cautious and good at greeting, and it is difficult to be caught in the wrong place. This time, the officials came down to investigate the case, and he was caught off guard, and several officials arrested and interrogated Tian Keyuan overnight, and only found that Tian Daozhi knew about the deposit of the underground bank, but he did not know that his son was involved. One of the officials was instructed by Li Jingang to investigate Tian Dao's corruption crimes, but after checking around, he did not catch him and returned empty-handed.
"This Tian Daozhi is really a skater!" Lan Yi said hatefully, such a talent is the most difficult to deal with.
Xia Wan nodded in agreement, "Your brother-in-law said the same thing, although no other definite evidence has been found, but Tian Zhixian is a parent and has a heavy responsibility, and it is a big mistake for him to know about the underground money bank but hide it." Your brother-in-law said that he will not be promoted in the next year's examination, and it is very likely that he will be demoted by one or two levels. β
Only one or two levels of official demotion? "It's so light?"
"Silly girl, Tian Zhi County is the county of Zheng Bapin, or it has been demoted to the eighth grade, and from the eighth rank it is the same level as your brother-in-law, and it is not considered strict? However, your brother-in-law also said that Tian Zhixian is good at drilling, and may be able to smooth out this matter. β
Yes, with Tian Michiyuki's means, it is entirely possible to smooth out this matter before next year. Tian Daozhi is Wang Mingli's backer, Wang Mingli wants to enter the official career through his way, Wang Mingli's personality is similar to Tian Daozhi, on the surface they are humble gentlemen, but in private they are a bad idea. This person is the biggest threat to Winshare's safety!
Thinking of Wang Mingli's last glance in front of Wang Mingzhe's tombstone yesterday, such a hidden person, but revealing hatred and distortion that could not be concealed, when he turned this gaze to Wen Xuan, Lan Yi was shocked into a cold sweat.
No, Wang Mingli's eyes when he looked at Wen Xuan were more complicated than when he was staring at the tombstone, there was hatred, unwillingness, and even a trace of indescribable love. When he found Lan Yi looking at him, he instantly restrained all his feelings and became the loving second uncle again.
It was because of these two eyes that Lan Yi really regarded him as an opponent to deal with psychologically for the first time. The threat he brought to Wenxuan was not something that could be solved by a thousand miles away!
These Lan Yi didn't even sue their father Wang Chengde, and they didn't want Xia Wan to worry because of this. Lan Yi adjusted her emotions and said with a smile: "Let's just watch the affairs of these men." Listening to my sister mentioning my brother-in-law one by one, I know how sweet your husband and wife life has been in the past six months. β
Xia Wan's cheeks turned red when she heard this, and she looked like a happy little woman, which made Lan Yi couldn't help laughing, where had Xia Wan been ridiculed so boldly, and she was so shy that she couldn't help herself.
The nurse Xia walked in at this time, and when she saw her girl like this, she was happy and looked at Lan Yi gratefully. Since she met Lan Yi, the girl is no longer only immersed in poetry, but has become strong and optimistic, and her relationship with her uncle has become better and better, which makes her happy. Seeing her grandmother and wholehearted master live a stable and worry-free life, this is exactly what she prays in front of the Buddha every day and dreams of.
However, Xia knew that he could not help at all except worship the Buddha and serve wholeheartedly. And Lan Yi, who is also from the next generation, can bring such a big change to the girl, which can't help but make her admire and grateful.
"Girl, second girl, the old slave has prepared the meal." Xia smiled and saluted, "According to the second girl's instructions, the old slave made four dishes with big red fruits, and asked the second girl to taste it." β
Xia Wan hurriedly stood up with Xia's hand and changed the topic, "Let's go, let's have a taste." Nurse, what you make must be delicious, I can't help but eat half a bowl more today. β
Lan Yi still couldn't help but laugh, and helped Xia Wan slowly walk to the main hall of the bamboo house to eat.
