Chapter 374: The Secret of the Hou Mansion
When Lin Shuran was investigating the affairs of the Yuan family, he learned that Yuan Chong and his wife Gongsun believed in the gods, Buddhas and ghosts in order to ask for a son, and they would go to the temple on weekdays to add more money than others, but they prayed to God and worshiped Buddha for so many years and did not ask for a son.
At the beginning, Su Sanqiang's fierce fighting caused the Su family to be convicted, if it weren't for the protection of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, Yuan Chong, the secretary of the military department, would also be implicated, the Yuan family did not do much less evil than the Su family, but the power behind it was great, so that the emperor did not dare to touch him easily.
Lin Shuran thought of the previous episode where Kou Zhun pretended to interrogate Pan Renmei at night under the pretense of Yin Cao, and she decided to also give Yuan Chong a Yin Cao meeting, so that he could feel the eerie horror of the Yama Palace.
So, Lin Shuran informed Xu Junze of his thoughts, and at the same time asked a little embarrassedly: "Do you think it's a bit child's play?" I thought that since Yuan Chong and his wife believed in ghosts and gods very much, let the ghosts and gods tell them that the reason why they were childless was because they were immoral, had done too many evil things, and had been robbed of their blessings, anyway, these are also facts. ”
Xu Junze was silent, if he had disdained to pretend to be a ghost in the past, the emperor had an "account book" in his hands for the things Yuan Chong had done, but he had not yet found a chance to punish him, and Wei Qianjie and Yuan Chong were intertwined in the court, and if they wanted to uproot them, it would be very difficult for the emperor to rely on his current strength.
But now that the emperor is being forced by Wei Qianjie and his party, as long as they can disintegrate them, no matter what means are not so glorious, they must try their best.
Lin Shuran saw that Xu Junze didn't speak, thinking that it was his own proposal, and he didn't approve or like it, so he sighed softly, was he thinking superficially?
Unexpectedly, Xu Junze said at this time: "You can give it a try, do you have specific ideas?" ”
Lin Shuran's originally lost expression immediately showed a look of surprise, and said, "I have, I have, you sit down, I'll talk to you!" ”
Like a primary school student who has been affirmed by the teacher, Lin Shuran began to tell Xu Junze very excitedly about her specific operation plan for this matter, and the two couples have not slept in the middle of the night.
When he woke up again, Xu Junze still left the house early to be busy with business, although Lin Shuran slept late last night, but she was in good spirits, Xu Junze not only listened to her idea, but even planned the details with her, Lin Shuran told him some of the skills he knew in modern times to create a terrifying atmosphere, and even helped him design the plot of the character dialogue.
Then Lin Shuran did not directly participate in this incident, she only knew that half a month later, Yuan Chong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was seriously ill for a few days, and then his wife Gongsun went to Long'an Temple to pray for blessings, and then Yuan Chong, who recovered from his illness, had a big quarrel with the brother-in-law of Dingyuan Marquis Wei Qianjie in the court, and even said that Wei Ying, the eldest son of Dingyuan Marquis Wei Qianjie, was not abducted and stupid at all, but was fed a stupid decoction by Wei Qianjie.
No one expected that Yuan Chong would tell the secret of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion in a fit of anger, and Wei Qianjie, the Marquis of Dingyuan, naturally would not admit it, and scolded Yuan Chong for saying nonsense, and Yuan Chong directly asked the emperor to let the imperial doctor diagnose and treat Wei Ying, and he would know the truth at a glance.
This matter was boiling, Emperor Zhao You had to ask the imperial doctor to check Wei Ying's body, and after some diagnosis and treatment by the imperial doctors, no one expected that Wei Ying's stupid illness was gradually getting better.
Such a strange thing spread all over the streets and alleys in an instant, and Yuan Chong deliberately let people let out the rumors, saying that the reason why Wei Qianjie made his eldest son stupid back then was to keep the wealth of the Hou Mansion.
"As a Hou Ye, how can you listen to the words of the warlocks of the rivers and lakes and make your son stupid, isn't Wei Ying your biological son, you are really confused!" The queen mother called the Marquis of Dingyuan and his wife to reprimand them fiercely, it is really unbelievable that there are such parents in the world, and the emperor directly ordered the Marquis of Dingyuan to think about it behind closed doors at home for three months, and all things in the court are not allowed to participate.
Yuan Chong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was also fined for one year for this matter, but he didn't care about this bit of silver, because he finally took a bad breath, and he was even more convinced that his experience that night was real and magical, Lord Yan said, Wei Qianjie fooled his son and took away the blessing of his Yuan family, and only by breaking the situation can he have a successor.
Lin Shuran felt that the development of things was not going according to her established route at all, although the purpose of separating the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion and the Shangshu Mansion had been achieved, but Wei Ying was not stupid, was it an unexpected joy?
"Seventh brother, Wei Ying is not stupid, are you unhappy?" Xu Mingxuan glanced at Xu Minghao, who had no intention of reading, strangely, since he knew that Wei Ying was not stupid, Xu Minghao didn't look so happy.
Xu Minghao pursed his lips, he really wanted to tell Xu Mingxuan that Wei Ying was not stupid from the beginning, although he didn't understand why Wei Ying acted in such a play, but as a friend, he naturally couldn't tell others his secret.
Lin Shuran happened to come to bring them snacks, heard the conversation between the two, and also saw the expression on Xu Minghao's face, she felt very strange, but she didn't ask too much, thinking that Xu Minghao should have a sense of gap in his heart, after all, Wei Ying and him after not being stupid have a big gap in age and psychology.
After that, Lin Shuran went to see Chen Jiayu, but she didn't expect to come to Chen Jiayu's courtyard and see Wei Ying also here, at this time, Wei Ying really didn't have a trace of stupidity on her face, her eyebrows were clear and handsome, and her eyes were deep and unfathomable, this is too different from before, right? Lin Shuran always felt strange in his heart.
"Mrs. Xu!"
"Viscount Wei!"
Lin Shuran and Wei Ying greeted each other, the two were familiar before, but at this moment, they felt unfamiliar, and it was inevitable that they would be a little embarrassed.
Wei Ying took a deep look at Chen Jiayu's room, then looked at Lin Shuran in a pleading tone and said, "Please also ask Mrs. Xu to help me speak, she doesn't want to see me!" ”
Lin Shuran sensed the emotion in Wei Ying's words, and seemed to understand something for a moment, surprise flashed in his eyes, and he glanced at Wei Ying a little strangely.
At this moment, Mama Cai pushed open the door and walked out, she greeted the two, first invited Lin Shuran into the room, and then said to Wei Ying: "Viscount Wei, my young lady please go back, she will not see you again in the future, you better go!" ”
Lin Shuran only paused when she heard what Mama Cai said to Wei Ying, and then stepped into the room, while Chen Jiayu was sitting on a chair by the window, with mixed emotions on her face, her eyes were slightly red, and she had obviously cried.
