Chapter 144: Smell of Conspiracy!
In the yamen of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, Yuan Wenshao sat on a chair in the hall, looking at the news gathered by all parties on the table, and couldn't help but have a headache.
There is an undercurrent in Beijing now, and the forces of all parties are intertwined, and the ancient word "filial piety" is simply too powerful, especially Zhao Zongquan is not the son of the first emperor, and he must be courteous to the queen mother.
"Rongbao!"
"Yes, my lord~"
"Go and transfer a team of soldiers back to the house, and tell Uncle Zhong that he should not pay more attention during this time, and send more people to the school hall for a few children!"
"Yes!"
"Alas~"
Yuan Wenshao looked at the case in front of him, and couldn't help but feel upset for a while, and now he wanted to do it at all.
But this thought was immediately put to the back of his mind, because power is indeed obsessed, and if he loses the position of commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, then he is an idle nobleman, and he is not even a fart in this capital.
I have also offended a lot of people in the past two years, and I am afraid that I will have to be retaliated against by others, and Liang Han, who was beaten twice first, probably can't let himself go.
While his thoughts were flying, a small official suddenly came in from outside the door
"My lord, someone from your house has come to say, saying that there is an urgent matter and you are asked to go back!"
As soon as Yuan Wenshao heard this, he got up without saying a word and ran, came outside to see his little servant, and went up directly and grabbed this person's shoulders.
"Sixth son, what's going on at home?"
"Back to the lord's words, it was Gu Hou's eldest lady who sent someone over, saying that she was looking for you in an emergency, and she was afraid that there would be many people and some people would say irresponsible things, so she asked the little one to come over and spread the word!"
Yuan Liu, who was choked, didn't dare to slack off, and hurried over to explain the ins and outs.
"Whew~" Yuan Wenshao breathed a long sigh of relief, it's good that nothing happened to his family.
Only then did he realize that there was still a person standing next to his little house, and he had met a few times before, a cronie in Gu Tingye's house, but he forgot what his name was.
"What's the matter with me?"
"Lord Yuan, Mrs. Weiyuan Hou has a good relationship with my eldest lady, and she just sent someone to deliver a message, saying that she is about to give birth and wants to see her!"
Yuan Wenshao frowned after hearing this.
"No, General Shen said that the due date is still a few days, so he went to the western suburbs to run an errand, and besides, she wants to see your eldest lady, what are you doing here?"
As Gu Tingye's confidant, the little servant of Gu Mansion is naturally a person with brains, and his words are also clear.
"My lord, this is also the purpose of my eldest lady to send a villain, she went to the Hou Mansion and found that it was the little Zou clan who collided with Zhang Da Niang, which led to premature birth!"
"The eldest lady has already sent someone to invite General Shen and the British couple, and I want you to come over to help, I'm afraid that the scene will not be controllable at that time!"
"Well, good!" Yuan Wenshao nodded.
The reason why he agreed so happily was that he smelled of conspiracy here, why did the Zhang family see that they were about to give birth, and Shen Congxing would be transferred to run an errand?
Although the little Zou clan is arrogant and domineering, why do you want to pick this juncture to do it, if you want to say that no one provokes it, you don't believe it when you kill Yuan Wenshao.
"Qilang, order two teams of soldiers to follow me to the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion!"
"Obey the order~" Yuan Wenxu, who was dressed in black leather armor next to him, replied.
"Drive!"
"Driving~"
Everyone is a cavalryman, and Yuan Wenshao is also a fast horse, for fear that Shen Congxing will be angry and cause trouble.
At the gate of the Shen Mansion here, Shen Sheng was pacing back and forth with an anxious face, because of Yuan Wenshao's secret hints before, this kid was not crooked, and he didn't listen to his aunt's words, but was quite close to Mrs. Zhang.
Zhang Guifen was born in a family of military generals, and his temperament is also quite bold, and in the face of this situation, he can be regarded as raising this stepson with his heart.
Shen Sheng, who was raised by his mother Zou Da Niang, is not a bad person, but he has become more and more calm over the past few years, and he has a little more respect for this mother-in-law, and she is naturally more anxious when something happens.
Seeing the arrival of a group of cavalry, Shen Sheng seemed to see a savior.
"Uncle, you're here!"
"Brother Sheng, how is the situation?" Yuan Wenshao said and turned over and dismounted.
Shen Sheng led everyone to the house, and at the same time explained: "Mother is still having a difficult birth, my father has just rushed back, and the British duchess has also arrived, I heard that the old man is rushing over!" ”
"Today is all up to Aunt Minglan, and now she is comforting the old lady~"
Yuan Wenshao paused after listening to the footsteps, turned his head and instructed him: "Brother Sheng, you hurry up and go to the palace and report this matter to the queen mother!" ”
"This..."Shen Sheng hesitated a little.
After all, his mother-in-law had a difficult birth inside, but he ran to the palace, which was a bit bad for it to spread.
Yuan Wenshao didn't rush when he saw this, patted him on the shoulder and explained in a whisper: "Listen to me, I'm afraid there is a conspiracy here!" ”
"Brother Sheng, you are not too young, you should know that Grandpa Zhang is still training in Shandong, so you must let the official family and Niangniang be prepared, and bring more people when you go!"
"Uncle, I listen to you!"
The thirteen or fourteen-year-old of the wealthy and powerful already understood something.
"Well, let's go~"
At this time, the sun was about to set, Yuan Wenshao came to the main courtyard of the Hou Mansion, and before he could go in, he heard Zhang Guifen's painful wail inside.
"Alas~" shook his head helplessly.
Some words are not easy to say clearly, they can only rot to their stomachs, in fact, except for Shen Congxing, everyone in Yuzhou has a lot of complaints about the queen's approach, doesn't this play with the British public?
Da Zou Niangzi saved your life, if you want to repay the kindness of the Zou family, it's no problem, then you should give Xiao Zou a fate, and then find a good family to marry, isn't this better than being a concubine in the Shen Mansion?
Even if Shen Congxing strongly asks for it, he should not agree to this matter, that is, the British Duke is completely loyal, if it is replaced by himself, he will conspire with the Queen Mother to overthrow your Zhao Zongquan's throne 100%!
"Big brother-in-law, you're here!"
"Zhongxuan~"
"Who is this?" The British Duchess wondered.
"Back to my aunt, this is the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, Yongding Bo Yuan Wenshao, and also the husband of my eldest sister, specially called over to help with it!"
As soon as she heard this, Mrs. Zhang was relieved, even if she was angry now, she also knew that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized.
But Yuan Wenshao is also a noble child, and he can be regarded as a family.
"Brother Shao'er, good boy, is your father loyal and diligent?"
"Mrs. Hui's words, my father is Zhong Qinbo!"
"It's hard for you, come back to drink tea at home!"
This is not nonsense, the British Duke is the leader of the honor, Mrs. Zhang's words mean that from now on, my family will cover you, and the title of Yongdingbo will be a member of the big family of honorable from now on.
You must know that Yuan Wenshao, the earl, is not handed down from his ancestors, so he is a little unjustified outside, and he is often looked down upon by those old nobles!
After exchanging a few polite words with Mrs. Zhang, he called out Shen Congxing, who was like ashes on the side, and took him to the corner of the courtyard.
"Brother Shen, are you crazy?"
"If there is no aunt of mine today, once something happens to Mrs. Zhang, how can we explain it to the kilometer side of the UK, don't you push him to the Queen Mother's side?"
"I..." Shen Congxing had nothing to say.
Naturally, I understand this truth, otherwise I wouldn't be so depressed......
