Yuan Shang felt slightly proud when he saw Zhen Rong's appearance.
Gao Lan was just a casual move on his part, but he didn't expect that his second brother would swallow him up so easily. Once he swallowed the bait, he couldn't help it anymore.
He looked sad: "General Gao went to Beixin City because I secretly asked him to find out what my second brother was doing in Beixin City."
"According to reports from spies in the military camp, General Gao Lan took several personal guards out of the camp overnight that day, and apparently discovered an extremely important secret."
"But Beixin City dispatched a large number of troops and horses to intercept. Since then, there has been no news from General Gao. It has been half a month!"
Zhen Rong exclaimed and sat down on the ground with tears in his eyes.
After so long and no news, Gao Lan must be in serious danger!
She murmured: "How could this happen?"
"I have only been married to him for a year..."
She raised her head helplessly, her eyes blank, confused by the news.
Yuan Shang felt proud and sighed: "Second brother did too cruelly. General Gao was loyal to my Yuan family, but he was poisoned by him. It's really not worth it."
Zhen Rong wiped away her tears, then came back to her senses and bowed: "Young Master, please do justice to your husband."
Yuan Shang looked down at Zhen Rong's slender figure. When he saw her bun hair falling down, revealing her fair and slender neck, he couldn't help but his throat moved and he swallowed, wondering: "It's difficult, after all, that is My second brother, even if he does something wrong, my father will not punish him and will most likely cover it up."
Zhen Rong raised his head and said in panic: "What should we do?"
"The Zhen family is just a family of merchants. Who can seek justice? Is this the end of the matter?"
Yuan Shang looked hesitant and said, "I know your wife's difficulties. Unless the second brother has a big scandal, there is really nothing we can do about him."
Zhen Rong murmured: "A scandal, an scandal, what kind of scandal can there be?"
Seeing that the time had come, Yuan Shang said, "It's not impossible."
"Tomorrow my second brother will lead his troops to leave Yecheng. When he comes back, he will marry his wife and sister."
"If you don't take action tonight, your sister will marry the enemy who killed your brother-in-law."
"Madam, you don't want this to happen, right?"
Zhen Rong has now been completely taken away by Yuan Shang.
On the one hand, it was because Yuan Shang had an excellent reputation, and most of Yuan Shao's nobles had defected to him, so they naturally spared no effort to promote him.
On the other hand, Zhen Rong was devastated when she heard the news of Gao Lan's death, and Yuan Shang's clever words slowly led her into the trap.
Yuan Shang always has advisers to give advice. He can help Yuan Shao handle military affairs and suppress Yuan Tan. He is definitely not an ordinary person.
How can a woman like Zhen Rong, who never leaves home, see through this?
Zhen Rong thought of her husband, who had been married for less than a year. As the fourth pillar of the court, he somewhat humbly flattered the noble officials, walking on thin ice, living cautiously, and now he was killed!
She immediately bowed and said, "Young Master, please show me a clear path."
Yuan Shang smiled and said, "Tonight, I will arrange a farewell banquet for my second brother."
"You will accompany my wife to attend when the time comes."
"At that time, I will persuade him to drink more. When he is drunk, I will ask you to help him take him back to his room."
"When he gets to the house, he will definitely do something to you while he's still drunk. If you shout, my wife will arrive with someone to stop him."
"If word of this gets out, my second brother will be ruined!"
He sneered in his heart, "Second brother, don't you want prestige?"
My dear wife who has not yet committed rape, I want you to be infamous in Yecheng, in Jizhou, and throughout the world!
Zhen Rong felt something was wrong: "Isn't this a frame-up?"
"Besides, if the second young master drinks alcohol, he may not molest me."
Yuan Shang sighed: "It is indeed not so upright, and it has wronged my wife's reputation, so I am also very hesitant."
"I can only hope that he drinks more wine. I will send all the maids away in advance. After the madam sends him back to the house, what happens in the house depends entirely on the madam's words."
He looked grave: "I don't want to be like this, but you know, the second brother is very popular with my father, and this is the only way to deal with him."
"I respect General Gao very much, and I don't want him to die unjustly."
"If Madam doesn't want to do anything against her will, I will never force her."
Zhen Rong's mind was completely confused at this time. He finally thought of Gao Lan and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Since the young master trusts me so much, I should avenge my husband!"
"Please also ask the young master to make arrangements!"
After hearing this, Yuan Shang sighed: "My wife's virtue can be learned from heaven and earth!"
"Shang must avenge my wife for killing her husband!"
"If my wife's reputation is damaged by this, I would still like to take her as my concubine!"
"If Madam's brother Zhen Yao works under me, I will also vigorously promote him!"
After hearing this, Zhen Rong panicked and said, "Young Master, please don't do this. This is done voluntarily by me, and I will never harm the Young Master afterwards."
Yuan Shang then smiled and said: "We will discuss this later. Madam, please go find my wife first and I will arrange the banquet."
After Yuan Shang watched Zhen Rong leave, the corners of his mouth curved.
These women of the Zhen family are still too young and can easily be persuaded by just a few words.
If Zhen Rong refuses, he still has several follow-up ideas, but now he saves a lot of trouble.
Moreover, Zhen Rong would not have thought that Yuan Shang did not expect Zhen Rong to come forward to testify against Yuan Xi.
But let the two of them make a fait accompli!
Yuan Shang opened the cabinet at hand and took out a porcelain bottle. This was his secret Five Stone Powder. The effect was extremely domineering.
At that time, Wu Shi San had not yet become popular, and it was only spread privately among certain sects, so its reputation was not obvious.
Different from the ordinary Five Stone Powder, the one in Yuan Shang's hands not only has the function of Five Stone Powder to induce hallucinations and seize the spirit, but also has a strong aphrodisiac effect.
After the drug takes effect, a man and a woman living alone in the same room will definitely end up rolling together within a few moments.
Zhen Rong thought that the Hong family would arrive with someone, but in fact no one would come.
Because Yuan Shang would also drug Zhen Rong.
This is the safest approach.
After the matter is completed, Yuan Shang will lead people to break into the house and break this adultery scene.
Moreover, Zhen Rong was still a newly widowed widow. As long as Yuan Shang let out some rumors and pointed Gao Lan's death at Yuan Xi, this bloody matter would inevitably spread widely among the nobles.
The nobles in Jizhou dare not spread it, but what about all the nobles in the world?
There are many enemies of the Yuan family, and they are eager to spread this news widely!
In this way, Yuan Xi's reputation will be ruined, and his marriage with Zhen Mi will also fall through.
As for Zhen Rong, the person involved, it was already too late when she figured it out. Even if she wanted to go back and testify against herself, who would believe her?
Second brother, second brother, since you chose to join forces with the eldest brother, don't blame me for being cruel.
However, the second brother is also blessed with beauty. Zhen Rong is young and has a good appearance and figure. This can be considered as compensation for the second brother.
But there is no need to think about the second brother Zhen Mi. The reputation of the Zhen family will be damaged as a result. Those who have the ability to marry Zhen Mi may not dare to marry her. The prophecy of great wealth and great wealth is really something that ordinary nobles have some scruples about.
Only I have the ability and status to marry Zhen Mi!
Killing two birds with one stone!
Yuan Shang couldn't help laughing.
