Lieutenant Hong left. Thinking back to just now, he spoke and acted cleanly. Sometimes he was very direct, and sometimes he was just right. Sure enough, this Lieutenant Hong was much more powerful than he thought.
After they were sent away, Hong Chenyi came up and said, "Brother Mian, is it a good thing that I said it?"
"I'm talking to Hong Dadu, the matter in front of you is obviously different from what you said before. Did something happen?" Lin Haoming asked.
"The family's intention is to cooperate with Concubine Ling. If Concubine Ling gives birth to a baby boy, she will recognize my aunt as her mother." Hong Chenyi directly told the real reason.
"How could this happen?" Lin Haoming was really surprised, but after being surprised, he felt that everything became logical.
Hong Chenyi had been away from the capital for a long time and didn't know the changes during the period, so he felt a little strange about some appointments.
Now that Lin Haoming thinks back on it, when Hong Chenyi was re-employed and promoted, he probably already had this tendency at that time, let alone what happened next.
"Your Majesty is willing to do this, is it to protect an unborn child?" Lin Haoming asked somewhat unexpectedly.
Hong Chenyi looked around, and then whispered into Lin Haoming's ear: "Brother Mian, don't think about it. Although His Majesty is over a hundred years old, he has a general soul cultivation level. His longevity is said to be one hundred, seventy or eighty years old, or even Even longer, Concubine De's child is already almost thirty, and will be almost a hundred years old in fifty or sixty years. If Concubine Ling gives birth to a prince, it will be at the peak of spring and autumn in fifty or sixty years. If that doesn't work, she can choose someone else. "
Lin Haoming naturally understood, but he didn't say anything more. He just said bluntly: "You also know what my purpose is. Working in the Forbidden Army, to be honest, is more about patience."
"Your Majesty is a man of great ambition."
"I know, that's why I'm waiting for the opportunity. I also know what Mr. Taiwei means. If the Empress does not have a prince, then there will be no problem of relatives, so by promoting you this time, His Majesty really wants to use you. I will naturally try my best to do things well." Lin Haoming signaled, this is the only way Lin Haoming really understood what Lieutenant Hong meant until now.
"Brother Mian, although it is true, as long as I have a good life, I will never forget you. If you want revenge, when the time comes, I will try my best to help you." After speaking, Hong Chenyi did not hold back. Covered up.
"I can rest assured about your character. By the way, how much do you know about Shangrongyuan?" Lin Haoming suddenly asked.
"Huh? Did the military arrange for you to live in Shangrongyuan?" Hong Chenyi was also shocked when he heard this.
Lin Haoming looked a little surprised when he looked at Hong Chenyi. He looked at him and asked, "What? Is there anything wrong?"
Hong Chenyi immediately took Lin Haoming's hand and said, "Do you know who lives in Shangrongyuan?"
"It's not that they are all the family members of the generals who committed the crime. It seems that for some reason, although they were demoted as slaves, they were taken care of and lived there." Lin Haoming told what he knew.
"What you said is roughly correct, but... But it was originally done because General Jiang Xingchan's daughter was implicated, so with His Majesty's tacit approval, a place was found for his daughter." Hong Chenyi said.
"What's going on?" Lin Haoming became even more confused.
"General Jiang has always been His Majesty's confidant. When the Zheng family was strong, General Jiang was also the right general. So, His Majesty Ziah gave a signal and deliberately married his daughter to his uncle's grandnephew. Later, the Zheng family fell and General Jiang's daughter became Zheng's daughter. The daughter-in-law of the family was naturally also implicated. His Majesty originally indicated that she could be exempted. However, she had been married for more than 20 years at that time, and her sons had already married. Since her son was a member of the Zheng family, she naturally could not stay, so the relationship was It was difficult to deal with. In the end, in order to avoid trouble, we simply arranged for her to live in the Rongyuan."
"So, General Jiang's daughter lives in Shangrongyuan? But I heard from the steward that there are two courtyards, which are reserved. So there are two courtyards that people cannot live in casually. Who is the other one? ?" Lin Haoming asked strangely.
Hong Chenyi directly smiled bitterly and said: "There is only one family, but they live separately. The one who was imprisoned at the beginning was not only her daughter, but also his grandson's wife who had already lived in a separate family, and the great-granddaughter who later gave birth to a posthumous son. Fortunately, it was a daughter. , if the posthumous child had been a boy, he would probably have been killed as well. Of course, because of this, General Jiang has always felt a lot guilty about his daughter, and the same goes for his great-granddaughter, but the girl was already in her twenties, so she was already an old girl. A few years ago, General Jiang planned to be a matchmaker. After all, the others were slaves, and the girl was not born yet. With such an embarrassing status, it was impossible for the person the old general liked to be willing to marry her because of her status. Even the old general doesn’t like him.”
"You actually know so clearly, could it be because of your age?" Lin Haoming asked, looking at Hong Chenyi.
Hong Chenyi immediately smiled naively and said: "There is nothing embarrassing about this. The first person the old general came to see was my uncle. He wanted to pick a suitable one from my Hong family, but my uncle refused. I think you can guess the reason. It's just that At that time, my Hong family had not yet established its footing, and even my uncle had not yet become a lieutenant, so I would not get involved in such troublesome matters."
"So, by arranging for me to go there, you are interested in me?" Lin Haoming asked.
"In the past two years, as long as the old general thought it was okay, he would send it there. On the contrary, that girl didn't like it, but she didn't care, so it's okay if you stay for a few days. As for the remaining few , they all have connections in the military, some are really unlucky, and it’s boring to live with only one family, so we find some people to comfort each other." Hong Chenyi explained.
Lin Haoming also nodded. He has not officially taken office yet. When he officially takes office, he will be arranged to live in a house. It is estimated that it will not exceed a month, and he will not cause any trouble.
After the matter was discussed, Hong Chenyi took Lin Haoming out and walked around the capital to familiarize himself with the environment here.
When the sun went down, Lin Haoming took the Hong family's carriage, and Hong Chenyi took him to Shangrongyuan along the way.
As soon as he arrived at Shangrongyuan, Lin Haoming heard a flurry of excitement inside.
In the courtyard where Fan Ming mentioned that someone lived, at the entrance of the courtyard, a tall and thick-set woman led a group of women who looked like female soldiers. At this time, everyone in the courtyard was tied up, and a man watching A man who appeared to be in his thirties or forties was begging for mercy.
The woman didn't appreciate it at all, and even gave the man a kick, and then ordered everyone to be tied to a big tree in the middle garden.
At the same time, Guanshi Yu kept saying words of mercy, but the woman didn't care at all and gave the order directly, and the female soldiers immediately broke branches and started beating them.
