"I wonder if Mr. Qi can come forward and explain this matter to Your Majesty?"
Wen Huaimin probed and said that he was not convinced when Qi Yang was elected as the head of the Qi family. A yellow-haired boy dared to point fingers at him! After the death of the head of the Qi family, the money-making businesses managed by the Qi family could have been transferred to the Wen family.
It was enough to become the head of the Qi family. In recent years, his thoughts have become more and more wild. Fortunately, he had the foresight to see that more than half of the wealth gained from those ruthless moves went into the pockets of the Wen family. If not, he would have been there long ago. I want to eradicate him.
Qi Chen looked a little ugly. The Wen family was forced to be like this. How could he have the qualifications to negotiate terms with them? He looked at the elders who were staring at his brother, and their thoughts were written on their faces.
Qi Yang's tone was gentle. The tea in the teacup fluctuated along the water lines, almost jumping out of the cup wall and then sliding back. "It doesn't matter whether I did it or not. At least it is the merit given to you by the elders. In the future, I can say a few words in front of His Majesty."
To blame all the dirty money they have on Shen Hong is to cut off a section of their pockets and cut off their own money.
Thinking of this, all the aristocratic families looked at each other. Unlike the Qi family, they had an old head with a cool face. But if you ask yourself, the old head of the Qi family was much wilder than them when he was young. Now, all the families can't bear to see him like this. Stay sad.
It’s not that easy to wash your hands in a golden basin.
"I don't need to handle this matter. Isn't there still a seventh prince? After receiving such great achievements, what's the harm in adding another one?"
Seeing that Wen Huaimin was a little shaken, Qi Yang continued: "King Hengyuan has such a reputation now, and the shame in the people's mouth is mixed with the conspiracy back then. He must find an opportunity to offset the blame... "
Wen Huaimin pondered these words carefully in his heart, rolling the Bodhi beads in his hand back and forth, trying to calm himself down. What he said was reasonable. Although Qi Yang was ruthless, he only dared to treat members of his clan's clan. relative.
He could see that Qi Yang, who had been pampered in the Qi Mansion since he was a child, couldn't stand the Pang family climbing on him, but he still treated him respectfully and made the relationship between ministers very clear, but he was just looking for a soft persimmon to manipulate.
The Wen family were relatives of the emperor and were beyond the reach of his Qi family. Wen Huaimin could see that this person was always trying to please himself and would never go out of his way.
Cui Cheng, the head of the Cui family, felt something was wrong after hearing this. He watched the fat meat fall into other people's bowls and wanted to calm Qi Yang first. "The seventh prince is acting so arrogantly when he returns to the palace. Will there still be a place for our family in the future?" King Hengyuan has done such wrong things, offended Shen An and Governor Jiang, and the matter of raising prostitutes in the east of the city has been uncovered. Will Your Majesty reuse King Hengyuan again?"
As soon as these words came out, those who originally wanted to keep King Hengyuan also had their minds wavered. After this incident, it became even more difficult for King Hengyuan to take the throne. In addition to King Hengyuan in the court, there is King Rui, who can sit on the throne.
But Wen Huaimin is King Hengyuan's biological uncle after all. Is he willing to give up Xie Shaoheng?
Wen Huaimin wished he had strangled him to death with his own hands since he had lost face at the wedding. He had done such a scandal and had others caught, and the woman who came to his house to wipe her neck didn't know how to deal with it.
What an idiot!
Cui Cheng's words made him a little panicked. Prince Rui went to him directly after the wedding, hinting overtly and covertly that his nephew was no longer a good person. Prince Rui also had a hand in their private activities.
If you take refuge with Prince Rui at this time...
No matter how reluctant he was to let go of King Hengyuan, he had to give up. What's more, Xie Yu could use Jiang Yubai's sword, why couldn't he use it? After using it, assassinate Prince Rui, and the only one left will be his nephew.
Qi Yang half-leaned on the back of his chair, looking at Wen Huaimin with only his peripheral vision, and then completely thought through his mind. At this time, he only needed to give him another sense of crisis to take the bait, "If the Wen family is not at ease, this time Leave the matter to me, my younger brother has a very good relationship with General Shen, and if he comes forward to negotiate with the Seventh Prince, we will get a good result for our family."
Wen Huaimin would not be willing to give away such an honor to the Seventh Prince for free. He was eager to take every benefit into his own pocket.
"Wait a minute, it would be inappropriate to leave this matter to Mr. Qi. He has never been involved in our affairs. If he says something wrong and arouses Shen Zhiyun's suspicion, the gain will outweigh the loss."
Wen Huaimin cleared his throat, "This matter is a family matter of our family. I will ask His Majesty to investigate the matter. As for Shen Hong... I don't think anyone wants to see him testify against us." Bar."
He wanted to send someone to go to the prison in person to silence Shen Hong.
Everyone present heard what he meant, but they were just unwilling to expose their dirty thoughts to the public, so they all agreed,
"Master Wen is saying that Master Shen has always been upright and will definitely not betray us."
For a moment, the hall was filled with horrifying laughter. Qi Yang put the tea bowl in his hand on the table. The originally clear tea was swayed back and forth by him, and the tea residues floated freely along the direction of the water flow, until they laughed. The water ripples also become calmer when they stop.
Lu Mingcheng felt a little uneasy in the middle. He was the one who handled the case of Zhang's conspiracy back then. He took money from Shen Hong and left "Xuanwan" behind. Overtly he had Sheng Yuan to help him, but secretly he used Zhang's connections. , handed over a private property to the Lu family to take care of. The Lu family was originally going to be lonely, but they managed to survive with this private property.
If Shen Hong was gone, who else would be able to protect him in his future connections? What's more, it was impossible for the Seventh Prince alone to find out these things in such a short period of time. Jiang Yubai was the one standing behind.
But what exactly is he going to do, turn the capital upside down for a disciple?
Emperor Jing could not withstand the pressure from all sides regarding matters in the eastern suburbs of the city. King Hengyuan was his son after all, and he was reluctant to chop off his head.
...
on carriage
The crowd on the bluestone street was noisy. Shen Zhiyi tightened his clothes. From the beginning, he always felt uneasy in his heart, as if something big was about to happen. Even his breathing became weak.
This feeling......
She was also so distressed when her mother-in-law passed away in her previous life.
"Master, I want to go back home." When Jiang Yubai looked at her, his heart ached inexplicably, as if his eyes couldn't tolerate her discomfort. Today's events happened too fast and she had been tired these past few days, so it was good to go back and rest.
Seeing Governor Jiang preparing to return home, his subordinates were inevitably a little anxious. It was getting late and today was the 15th again. "Master..."
After returning to the house
Shen Zhiyi got off the carriage and went straight to her mother's room and rushed in. Shen An stayed by her side and never left. The medicine bowl was already empty because Shen An had just fed it spoonful by spoonful.
Shen Zhiyi grabbed his brother's arm and kept asking about his mother's condition. He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that she was fine, "Thanks to a black blind Taoist priest who passed by and saved my mother."
Blind Taoist priest? Know medical skills?
"Brother, do you know where the Taoist priest is from?"
Shen Zhiyun shook his head. He had never asked about these things. Shen Zhiyi had doubts but had no time to think about it so much.
Seeing her mother unconscious, Fuling brought a basin of hot water and prepared a handkerchief next to it. After Shen Zhiyi wrung out the handkerchief, she gently wiped her mother's cheeks, and the dead skin turned up at the corners of her white mouth. Shen Zhiyi frowned, feeling worried. Suddenly, she noticed that her mother's hand moved slightly, as if she wanted to grab something.
She immediately took her mother's hand and felt her fingers gently squeezing back. "mother."
"Lord Governor..." Xuexiao originally thought that Jiang Yubai would not come to this mansion today. The mansion he lives in is just a few steps away from here, and all the mansions in this alley are under his name. Jiang Yubai thought it was noisy and simply bought the surrounding area. Except for the occasional people passing by during the day, almost no one passed by where he lived.
There was also a part of the residence under the name of the regent, but the regent hardly went out except for his palace, so this place became a rare and clean place, so Jiang Yubai found the most remote place to live.
There is another reason. If he lives with the Shen family, people who are interested in it will inevitably make a fuss about it. Shen Zhiyi doesn't know what it is like for a daughter who has not yet left the court to live with an adult man.
Xuewei reminded in a low voice, "Lord Governor, tonight is the fifteenth. If you don't want to faint in front of your good disciple, go back quickly."
"It doesn't matter, I have long been used to it," Jiang Yubai wore a smart black suit, and his sleeves swayed gently with his steps.
"Please help me go to the Regent's Mansion to find Cen Fengxing."
With the medical skills of the Cen family, Mrs. Xiang's condition should not be a big problem. Jiang Yubai listened to Shen Zhiyi's sobs through a window and couldn't bear to leave or go in. He knew that this disciple had a stronger nature and had been beaten several times. I cry on my back.
Now that Mrs. Xiang is seriously ill, he only has martial arts skills and cannot even do the simple Qihuang technique. Even he is embarrassed to say that he is Cen Fengxu's nephew. It is a rare reunion between mother and daughter. He does not want to disturb him, let alone cannot bear it. leave.
The black blind Taoist priest used crutches and tapped the ground from time to time to judge the road conditions ahead. His original vision was only slightly blurred. In just one year, his eyes were almost completely blind.
The crackling sound alerted Jiang Yubai who was guarding the door. He looked at the Taoist priest in front of him warily, feeling that he looked familiar...
He was also among the Taoist priests who helped the princess to remove disasters on March 3rd, but this person was strange. Ordinary Taoist priests took the money and fiddled with it in the house for a few times before giving it to the Holy Lord. Not only did this Taoist priest not ask for his money , and left a sentence, "It's all a predetermined destiny. No one can change it. If it goes against God's will, it will be counterattacked."
At first, he just thought that the Taoist priest was talking too much and didn't pay much attention to it. He sent his men to follow him for two days and found nothing unusual, and he dispelled his doubts. Now, at a glance, this Taoist priest may not be simple.
Jiang Yubai didn't believe that he just happened to be passing by...
"Taoist priest of Jiyun Temple, what are you doing here?"
Jiang Yubai was not annoyed when he stopped in front of him. He pinched his fingers with his right hand to calculate what he was mumbling, but Jiang Yubai couldn't understand it. "It's the fifteenth tonight. Young master, I'd better find a good place to exercise and heal his injuries."
How did he know...?
