Chapter 176: Eternal Interests
Song Nian's actions were one step faster than Bai Weiyi's, and he immediately found out that Aunt Fang had bought off the people around Bai Weiyi.
In the study, Meng Xingci sat in a chair with an indifferent expression, listening to Song Nian's report.
"Bai Zhichen has been arrested and sent to Beijing, and her future is bleak, so she wants to harm adults this time. She got a potion and sprinkled it on the grain, which was good at the time, but moldy after the night. Song Nian said in a deep voice: "I also found out that it was Wei Hongxing who provided her with the potion. ”
Meng Xingci's expression mocked: "Wei Hongxing will actually help Aunt Fang, sure enough, anything can be reconciled in front of interests." ”
Song Nian said: "I have already caught the steward of the Bai family and the person who is connected with the Wei family, my lord, what should I do?" ”
Meng Xingci did not speak.
Seeing her hesitating, Song Nian whispered, "Are you afraid of Bai Gongzi?" ”
Ye Xun immediately looked over.
Meng Xingci said quickly: "Don't talk nonsense, there's nothing!" ”
Song Nian carefully looked at Ye Xun's face, and Ye Xun said coldly: "What do you want me to do?" Ask Lord Meng. ”
Meng Xing said: "It's not for Bai Zhilun, you go to Zhuang Zexian and tell him about the moldy grain, and he will know what to do." ”
Song Nian was stunned for a moment, and he didn't understand the meaning of Meng Xingci.
Ye Xun lowered her eyes and thought about it for a while, but she understood what she meant, "The dealer is finally going to come in handy, and this Aunt Fang has also done a good thing." ”
Song Nian listened to the clouds, obviously Ye Xun already knew Meng Xingci's plan, but he didn't know.
Forget it, he doesn't want to do it anymore, just do what he is told.
Song Nian turned around and walked out, and Ye Xun looked at Meng Xingci: "You plan to take this opportunity to wipe out the Bai family and the Wei family together?" ”
The Bai family and the Wei family have been entrenched in Hedong for so many years, and they must have done many shady things. If Zhuang Ze reported it first, Meng Xingci would be able to serve the two families in one pot in a bright way.
If Aunt Fang hadn't done this, Meng Xingci might not have been able to make up her mind, so she would say that Aunt Fang had done a good thing.
Meng Xingci nodded, his voice a little cold: "I'm a little annoyed." ”
The loss of tax grain this time completely angered Meng Xingci, and the previous step by step disappeared step by step. Now she doesn't need to worry about anything, she can do what she should do.
Zhuang Ze received the news first and immediately sued the Wei family and the Bai family, saying that they colluded with Xu thieves to rob raw silk in order to rob the Zhuang family's fertile land. In addition, there are also people who sue two families for grabbing farmland.
Meng Xing resigned from this notice and sent someone to arrest Bai Weiyi and Wei Hongxing.
One after another, the bitter masters appeared, all of which were about the Bai family and the Wei family seizing farmland and squeezing tenant farmers. In the past, these things were nothing, as long as you stuffed some silver into the yamen, it would pass.
But now Meng Xingci obviously wants to rectify the Hedong Shi clan, and Meng Xingci has put away all these papers, collected evidence, and severely punished the Bai family and the Wei family.
In the study, Old Man Bai had aged several years overnight, and he had just gotten up from the hospital bed.
Old Man Bai looked at the eldest grandson with an indifferent expression, and his heart was sad.
"Lun'er, he's your father anyway, you must save him." Old Man Bai said sadly: "I know that you have a grudge in your heart, but you can't write two white characters with one pen, and the foundation of the Bai family will definitely be handed over to you in the future." ”
Bai Zhilun raised his head and looked at his grandfather, and said with a wry smile: "Is grandfather overestimating his grandson?" Lord Meng's move was originally aimed at the Shi clan, how can I be? Can you still stop Master Meng? Originally, Lord Meng didn't plan to do it so early, but unfortunately, our Bai family handed over the ready-made handle. If the tax grain is moldy, if the emperor knows about this, Lord Meng's official career will end here. ”
"Didn't the Fang clan dare to do this because of this?" Bai Zhilun said, a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth: "It's a pity that she forgot, Master Meng was born in the Jiangnan clan, and such a little food is nothing even if it is all supplemented." It's a pity that my Bai family and Wei family are so reduced to fish and meat! ”
Meng Xing is worried that there is no excuse, now that the Bai family is rushing to find death, how can she let it go?
Bai Zhilun was also annoyed in his heart, it was he who told Meng Xingci to rest assured, but when such a thing happened, he thought that he had no face to see Meng Xingci.
Old Man Bai rolled angrily in his heart: "That slut! After a pause, he said, "Come on, write a letter of resignation, and send me that stirrger to sell!" ”
Bai Zhilun said lightly: "She has a son, how can she sell it?" ”
The concubine who gave birth to a child could not be sold, this was the rule of the noble clan.
Old Man Bai looked at the indifferent expression of the eldest grandson, and said, "Send her to Zhuangzi, don't let her come back!" ”
The housekeeper hesitated a little, Aunt Fang was Bai Weiyi's heart, and sent her to Zhuangzi, can't the eldest master make trouble when he comes back?
"If you don't go, he won't come back!" Old Man Bai said coldly.
The butler was stunned, and immediately turned around and left.
Aunt Fang has been in the Bai family for more than 20 years, and it is the first time that she has been dragged out by her mother-in-law and maid in such an embarrassment.
"I want to see the master, I want to see the master, you can't treat me like this, the master will not let you go if he knows it!" Aunt Fang shouted.
Now she can't maintain her elegance and weakness, and she struggles desperately, but Bai Weiyi is not there, and no one will pity her.
Aunt Fang was dragged out of the second door, and Wei Shi came out when she heard the voice, and looked at her with some panic.
Aunt Fang saw a flash of resentment in Wei's eyes: "You wait and see, your son has harmed my son, he will not end well!" He's not going to end well. ”
The housekeeper frowned: "What are you doing in a daze?" And bring me people down quickly. ”
Here, the Fang family immediately disposed of Aunt Fang, and over there, Meng Xingci also immediately found a lot of things about the Bai family and the Wei family's encroachment on good land by improper means.
Meng Xingci also made a special announcement for this reason, and these fertile fields will be returned to the people.
When Old Man Bai saw the announcement, he immediately fainted. When he woke up, he was still struggling to read the bulletin in his hospital bed.
"Tell me about the things of thirty years ago, Meng Xing quit her and wants to kill our Bai family!" Old man Bai's eyes were red.
What the Bai family has done over the years, Old Man Bai can't remember it clearly. It's just that at that time, in order to become the first scholar clan in Hedong, it was inevitable to make some extraordinary measures.
Bai Zhilun waited beside him, silent.
