Chapter 240: Let Me Be a Wicked Man?
"The general is not busy! There's more news here! β
As soon as Liang Chen was about to walk out, the guards sent by Pei Zhan to deliver the message kept him: "I just happened to meet our Commander Guo on the way down, and he was going to send a message to our general on the order of our general's wife.
"Now on the side of the Xu Mansion, the people of the official mansion and the palace and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are interrogating Lou Zhao and Lu Qi, and because they are still involved in the subordinates around the county lord of Yongping, Xie Yushi also participated in Xu Yin."
Liang Chen couldn't help but high-five when he heard this: "The general's wife really has the same means as it was back then!" That way, I don't have to bother at all! β
asked where Xu Yin was going, and stepped onto the street.
From the time Zhang Feng and his followers arrived at Xu's mansion, someone told Xu Yin the news.
Lin Shangshu's process has gone to the Qianqing Palace, and now he is waiting for the emperor's approval.
After the approval, according to the usual practice, the successor of the Ministry of Rites will also take over the post of Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi, so that he can shoulder two heavy responsibilities and be the real minister in power.
Two or three years ago, when Lin Shangshu took over the previous Ministry of Rites Shangshu was transferred, the emperor proposed to let Xu Yin take over, but at that time, he had only been an official for five years, and there were many doubts in the court, so Xu Yin took the initiative to resign to the emperor.
He said that he still has little experience and still needs to be experienced. This move later won him back a bit of reputation.
Now that he has been an official for nearly eight years, his connections and reputation are almost the same, of course, it is time.
Last month, the crown ceremony was held as well as expected. After the ceremony, the emperor and queen all issued a decree to reward him. So as expected, the rumors of appointing him to take over as Shangshu and Zhan Shi of the Ministry of Rites also came out.
There were people in the court one after another, and the emperor also summoned him to the palace to drink tea twice, and each time he praised him, and the crown prince was mentioned several times.
These signs, a fool can see that the emperor has recognized him Xu Yin.
On the side of the East Palace, there are even people who have touched Xu Yin within the scope of the rules, after all, if he suddenly takes over, many trivial matters will be put together at that time.
Everything is going in the direction Xu Yin wants.
But at this time, the murder case of the murder in Wanbin Building actually caused trouble to his Xu family!
Yongping actually poked such a big basket for him at this time!
"This is what you said to let her deal with Fu Zhen, this is her ability!"
In the official room, Xu Yin, who had just received the news that Yongping had been pointed out by Lou Zhao as the culprit of the murder and was ordered to be demoted by the emperor, gritted his teeth and pointed at Lian Yu, "You don't know who she is?" You actually believe that she can deal with Fu Zhen!
"Well, now she instructed the court officials to murder the children of the officials, and it was for such a ridiculous reason!
"As a royal prince, she didn't work hard to maintain the court, but she even disregarded people's lives and took the innocent Liu Yan to provoke the Zhang family to become enemies with Fu Zhen!
"Who will she do if the palace doesn't handle it?!"
Lian Yu lowered his head deeply: "Damn it, the little one misjudged the situation." The little one really didn't expect the county lord to find Lou Zhao this time, it was a small negligence. Since the quarrel between the lord and the county lord that day, it is time for people to watch more. β
Xu Yin stood under the window, took a deep breath, and gritted his teeth: "I'm still too merciful, it is said that I have already dumped this rotten end!" She can't help me at all! β
Lian Yu raised his head and said, "Master is cautious." Although this time was unexpected, in the end, the emperor only demoted the title of county lord, and there was no more severe punishment.
"The lord didn't show up today, King Rong must have an opinion in his heart, if he still threw fire at the county lord at this time, King Rong's mansion would definitely not agree."
Xu Yin looked out the window with a gloomy face and did not speak.
Chang Sui said outside: "Master, General Liang is here." β
Xu Yin's face moved at this point, and he looked at Lian Yu.
Lian Yu walked out: "How can the general come?" β
"Where's the squire?!"
As soon as Lian Xuan's voice fell, Liang Chen's voice came from outside the door, and Lian Xuan hurriedly bowed: "General!" β
Liang Chen glanced at the door, the door opened, and Xu Yin walked out of the house: "Shaoyang." β
"Why are you still here?" Liang Chen came to him, "Something big happened to your family, don't you know?" β
Xu Yin pursed his lips: "I just heard that I was about to go back." The county lord is really willful this time, and he actually made trouble with Minzhi's daughter-in-law's mother's house, and Minzhi is afraid that he will be annoyed even with me. β
After saying that, he turned to ask, "How did you get here?" β
"I'm here to tell you that Xie Zhang, the imperial historian of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, has sued you, and the excerpts have been handed directly to the emperor."
Xu Yin's eyebrows twisted: "Xie Zhang? β
"Yongping made such a big fuss, but the emperor was still extrajudicial and only demoted her to the title, and the Zhang family did not forgive, and it happened that Shuntianfu tried out that your family also did a lot of bad things, Xie Zhangsui also participated in you, blaming you for not being strict."
Liang Chen's face sank when he said this: "You have always done things steadily, and you have never made mistakes, why did you leave such a big hole in your inner house?" β
What can Xu Yin say?
He didn't show up at all that day, because he didn't want to have anything to do with this stupid thing Yongping did.
Earlier, because of the preparation of the crown ceremony for the prince, Xu Yin went to the East Palace a few more times, and at that time, Xie Zhang was targeted, and he was almost crowned with a private hat for the prince.
Who knew that Concubine Yu would hook up with Yongping again......
On this day, Xu Yin only cared about Yongping causing trouble for her, but forgot that Yongping would definitely not be able to bypass the minions around him when he did these things.
He Xu Yin is the head of the Xu family, and Yongping's minions are also his Xu family's minions, and now those subordinates are exposed to be involved, doesn't it make Xie Zhang grab the handle? !
Xu Yin was furious, and his head was buzzing without stopping!
Xie Zhang's accusation, the emperor may not really cure his crimes, but it is extremely difficult to say whether there will be twists and turns in his promotion!
He put his fist-clenched hands behind his back and said to Liang Chen: "It's hard for Shaoyang that you came here on purpose for this, the county lord made a big mistake for a while, but he has always been my wife, and I don't have anything to say at this moment." β
Liang Chen said: "You don't go back?" β
Xu Yin said: "Since they have already been sued, let's wait until they finish the trial." β
Liang Chen looked at him: "That's your wife." β
"So what?" Xu Yin frowned, "If she commits a crime, she should suffer the consequences, even if I am my husband, I can't cover her regardless of my principles." β
"But you almost became my uncle." Liang Chen looked directly at him, "In the years since my aunt's death, even though you have married and had children, you still maintain close contact with the Liang family.
"You always say that you are half of the Liang family, such as today, everyone knows that Xu Shilang is a person who values love and righteousness, even if he becomes a horse in King Rong's Mansion, he still does not forget his ex-fiancΓ©e.
"If you ignore Yongping, then the world will definitely think that your heart is still on your aunt, and the Liang family will also be saddled with some infamy because of you."
Xu Yin frowned.
Liang Chen's expression in front of him was already a little tense, and there was some displeasure in his eyes.
Xu Yin's heart sank suddenly.
None of what Liang Chen said was false.
Xu Yin has deliberately maintained contacts with the Liang family over the years, just to let the world see his love and righteousness, but now he has no choice but to maintain this "affection".
He can let Yongping fend for himself, or he can not care about the Rongwang Mansion, these two are of little use to him at present.
But he must not care about the Liang family.
Liang Chen is the general of the dynasty!
And there is a Pei Zhan beside him!
The combined strength of these two people is enough to shake the world!
If he doesn't act, there will indeed be people behind his back who question whether his "love and righteousness" is true, so as to make some guesses, and point the finger at Liang Ning and even the Liang family.
He lowered his posture and interacted with the Liang family, the Liang family has not been enthusiastic, if the Liang family listened to the gossip this time, then Liang Chen would definitely stand with Pei Zhan without saying a word and cut off contact with him.
How can he have the ability to become the enemy of the two fierce generals of the Great Moon Kingdom who worked together to destroy the Great Moon Kingdom?
What's more, he's just a squire right now!
And all of this was brought to him by Yongping!
"I see." Xu Yin nodded, "I'll clean up, and I'll deal with it." β
Liang Chen said: "For so many years, you have never forgotten your aunt and the Liang family, and we all remember it in our hearts. I have always treated you as our own family.
"I'll be honest, I stand with you in my heart who you are enmity, but you are with Minzhi - if this knot can't be resolved this time, the two of you become enemies, and the biggest headache will be me.
"That's all I say, you can do it yourself."
With that, he turned around and left.
Xu Yin stood under the door, his face quickly turning cold. "Go get the car!"
Lian Xun stepped forward: "Master, you can't get anything good when you go back at this time, even if what General Liang said makes sense, simply Xie Zhang's fold has already been handed over, and it doesn't hurt for us to go back after all the trials are completed."
"Anyway...... Sooner or later, the county lord will let the lord coax him. β
Xu Yin turned around and entered the room and picked up the black gauze hat on the table: "Are you for me?" Wrong, I'm for myself! β
After speaking, he put on his hat and his eyes were deep: "The matter between Yongping and Concubine Yu, the evidence is still in the hands of the Zhang family, right?" β
He paused for a long time.
Xu Yin dressed in his robe: "Enter the palace!" β
β¦β¦
The trial of the Xu family here has come to an end.
Since He Qu came, the next process has been very smooth.
After Xie Zhang left, Dali Temple and the Criminal Department also came, and they were really tried.
The little eunuch brought the emperor's holy decree to punish Yongping, Fu Zhen was of course not satisfied, the Liu family and the Zhang family were of course not satisfied, and the Zhang family was also dissatisfied.
Yongping and Princess Rong have been disgusted with the Zhang family for so many years, and they have long been resentful, although Yongping can't do anything big, and they are quite responsive to the moths every once in a while.
When the matter comes to the moment, of course the Zhang family wants to completely suppress her, is there still a possibility of reconciliation between them?
What is the use of being demoted to the county lord?
If you come out of the ground, you can still make waves.
It's just that this is the emperor's holy decree, and the Zhang family is helpless. She kept glancing at the box in her hand, and she just wanted to send it to the palace and present it to the emperor!
However, although this can push Yongping to a dead end, the emperor and queen will not be happy to see a nephew and daughter-in-law who has fallen into a well. In the end, Yongping collapsed, but he had to make a note in the emperor's heart, which was really worth the loss.
When he was weighing it repeatedly in his heart, someone outside the door walked in, lowered his voice and said to King Rong next to him: "King, lord, Lord Shilang has entered the palace!" β
King Rong looked gloomy: "What is he doing in the palace?" β
"Lord Squire has gone to intercede with the county lord!"
ββ¦β¦ Plead? β
Several people looked at each other in surprise.
Fu Zhen was next to him.
She thought that after Liang Chen went to find Xu Yin, most of the people surnamed Xu would come back to make a appearance, but she didn't expect him to enter the palace directly! And still to intercede for Yongping?
At this time, I ran to intercede......
It's really poisonous!
She suddenly looked at Yongping with a complicated look on his face, but quickly turned calm again.
Zhang Shi glanced at Fu Zhen and said, "The general's wife is very good today, I haven't seen you jump like thunder and catch someone to fight after sitting for so long." Xu Yin entered the palace to intercede, aren't you worried? β
Fu Zhen raised his lips: "The real subject is the maiden uncle of the princess, you are not worried, what am I worried about?" β
"It's so focused." Zhang snorted lightly, "However, aren't you curious about how Yongping supported Lou Zhao to command a dignified Five Cities Soldiers and Horses?" β
"What about curiosity? The county lord of Yongping will not explain to me. β
Zhang pushed the box in front of him forward: "What if I tell you?" β
Fu Zhen looked at her: "Make the words clear." β
"Mrs. General, Bing Xue is smart, how can she not see what I mean?" Zhang's Zhengse, "Doesn't the general's wife want to hit the opponent?" The deadly weapon is here, do you want it? β
Fu Zhen looked at her for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Why does the princess pick the wicked person to do it for me?" β
"That's what I said." Zhang Shi looked at Yongping on the other side and said slowly: "As long as the common enemy can be defeated, does it matter who will be this wicked person?"
"The general's wife has been sitting here for most of the day and hasn't left, at least half of the reason is on my box, right?
"When it comes to this, no one wants to be uncertain. As long as you send this to the palace, Yongping will definitely have no chance to turn over. Don't you want to cut the grass and eradicate the roots? β
Fu Zhen lowered his eyes and looked at the box for a while, opened the lid and flipped it over, and closed it again.
"The princess asked me to be a wicked person, but I didn't give all the things, do you want the emperor to go back and ask, and then take the rest of the things to pinch your parents-in-law? Or wait for the future when I come to you and pinch me?
"There is only a record of Concubine Yu giving money to Yongping here, what is the evidence that Yongping took the initiative to deal with Concubine Yu?"
She sneered: "If you take me for a fool, then you are looking for the wrong person!" β
With that, she pushed the box back again.
Zhang took a deep breath, and after a moment, she glanced at the maid at an angle that King Rong and his wife couldn't see.
