After thinking for a long time, Zhu Di decided to help his two eldest daughters again.
After all, it is a family relationship where blood is thicker than water, and we can never let go of it no matter what.
But the younger daughter also needs to be comforted, otherwise the boy's rebellious psychology will be aroused, which may be self-defeating.
After a moment, Zhu Di waved to a chamberlain: "A few days ago, Annan paid tribute to a batch of southern pearls and corals and sent them to Princess Chang Ning. By the way, I remember that there are also agates transported by Uzang in the warehouse. Quite a few, and a pair of jade Ruyi from Hotan, please send them to Chang Ning as well."
"In addition, there are Shu brocades from Shu, new embroidery from Suzhou, and furs from Liaodong..."
Zhu Di recited a bunch of words in his mouth, and when they were sent to Jinghaihou Mansion, it turned into a long motorcade.
There are more than twenty carriages, all of which are rare treasures from various parts of the Ming Dynasty or foreign countries. If any one is lost among the people, it will be a treasure that can be passed down from generation to generation.
Zhu Di rewarded so many things that the warehouse of the Hou Mansion could hardly contain them.
Zhu Yuelan frowned: "I am so disrespectful, why did my father reward me with so many things?"
Chen Kan smacked his lips and said, "Maybe it's a reward for making up for the Yuan Festival?"
Zhu Yuelan was still a little suspicious: "But wasn't the reward for the Lantern Festival just delivered two days ago?"
Chen Kan smiled and said: "Whatever, your Majesty is rich all over the world. This thing is just a drop in the bucket for your Majesty. Just accept it. If you feel uneasy with it, you can often take time to go to the palace to accompany your Majesty."
"All right."
Zhu Yuelan was a little worried, how should she spend the money in her lifetime?
It just so happens that my husband is also a money-maker.
well!
So troubled.
Chen Kan paced up to the front hall with his hands behind his back, and summoned Yuncheng to tell him, "I'll inform Ying Tianfu's Yamen, and I must give my Hou Mansion a clean slate."
"yes!"
Yuncheng didn't ask why.
Although according to the previous plan, Sun Hai would ask Ying Tianfu Yamen to find out the truth after beating the Dengwen drum, and it would be best to bring the mastermind behind the rumors to justice.
But since Lord Marquis has ordered that all he needs to do now is to be innocent, then all he needs to do is be innocent.
He believed that his Lord Marquis must have a reason for doing this.
Watching Yuncheng walk away, a smile appeared on Chen Kan's lips.
Zhu Di's generosity was somewhat beyond Chen Kan's expectations. He did not expect that Zhu Di would spend such a high price for two wastes.
Although Chen Kan never thought about eradicating the roots, the things Zhu Di sent should not be in vain.
As for complaining about Di being partial, Chen Kan had never had such an idea.
After all, Yuan Rong and Li Rang are also Zhu Di's sons-in-law.
Even though they had little ability, Chen Kan would not kill them for Zhu Yuelan's sake.
After asking Yuncheng to withdraw the Hou Mansion's methods, the matters that Ying Tianfu Yamen had to deal with changed from severely punishing the real culprit to returning the Hou Mansion's innocence.
But... I don’t know whether Yuan Rong and Li Rang are really stupid or fake.
Just after Sun Hai beat the Dengwen drum, they not only did not close the door to thank the guests immediately to avoid suspicion, but instead sent the family steward to the government office to watch the excitement of the Hou Mansion.
The actions of Yuan Rong and Li Rang shocked the entire capital, as well as Zhu Di, who had just pleaded with Chen Kan on their behalf.
"Idiot, simply stupid, extremely stupid!"
Zhu Di was furious in the hall, making the palace maids and eunuchs tremble in fear.
"Come, let's announce that Marquis Guangping and Marquis Fuyang are entering the palace."
Zhu Di was breathing heavily, with a fierce look in his pupils, obviously wanting to teach these two incompetent things a lesson.
A young eunuch left in response.
As soon as the young eunuch left the palace, several Jinyi captains in charge of the capital's movements hurried into the palace.
"Report, Your Majesty, the Longping Marquis's house has openly announced that it will stop all dealings with the two princes-in-law."
"Report, Your Majesty, in addition to the Longping Marquis Mansion, the Mansion of Duke Qi, Duke Cheng, and Duke Cao have also announced that they will cut off all contact with the two princes."
One piece of news after another was passed into the palace, and Zhu Di's face became increasingly ugly.
He never thought that there could be such stupid people in the world, but these two idiots were still his sons-in-law.
He couldn't help but begin to doubt his own vision. Did he marry his two daughters to them because he was deceived by lard? What was the difference between this and pushing his daughter into a pit of fire with his own hands?
After a long while, Zhu Di suddenly couldn't help but sigh, and then called a young eunuch and said: "There is no need to announce the Marquis of Guangping and Fuyang."
Zhu Di was able to lower his face and bribe his little daughter for them. It can be said that he has done the utmost in benevolence and justice.
As long as the two of them have a little bit of brains now, they should learn from Chen Kan and stay behind closed doors.
For the sake of his own face, Chen Kan would not really make the matter a big deal. At most, he would just make a fuss and get over it.
Although this would damage the reputations of Yuan Rong and Li Rang, would his daughter and son-in-law be allowed to eat chaffy vegetables as long as he was around?
No matter what, not everyone in this world has a brain.
They want to see Chen Kan's jokes, but they don't want to think about who poured the dirty water on Chen Kan. It would be fine if the rumors were true, but how should they deal with it if there is no evidence?
Although Chen Kan also sent people out to slander their reputation, this was based on the fact that Chen Kan had real evidence.
Everyone in the capital could understand things, but Yuan Rong and Li Rang couldn't understand them at all.
Zhu Di is tired, and his heart is tired!
at this time--
After learning that Yuan Rong and Li Rang actually sent people to see his joke, Chen Kan couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh three times.
What does it mean that if there is a road to heaven, you don’t take it, but if there is no door to hell, you just go to it?
That's it.
After receiving so many gifts from Zhu Di, Chen Kan was already ready to call it quits and turn the big deal into a trivial matter.
But you have to put your head on your neck.
At this time, even Zhu Di couldn't blame Chen Kan for not giving him face.
Yuncheng, who came to report the news, also had a puzzled expression on his face. He didn't understand why there were such stupid people in the world.
Don't they understand what it means to give up when things get better?
After smacking his lips, Yuncheng carefully asked for instructions: "Master Hou, since the other party is already ready to see our joke, what about us?"
"Proceed as planned."
After mourning for Zhu Di for three minutes in his heart, Chen Kan decisively decided to resort to thunderous means.
They are seeking death themselves, no one else is to blame.
After Chen Kan gave the order, the Five Cities Military and Horse Division quickly started to operate.
The sources of rumors against the Hou Mansion were removed one by one, with such efficiency that the nobles of the entire capital could not help but be stunned.
If they still can't understand that this is Chen Kan's plan against the two subordinates, then they are not worthy of being honored.
At the same time, Ying Tianfu Yamen also began to investigate the situation in the Hou Mansion.
But it was different from when Yingtian Fu Yamen inspected Guangping Houfu and Fuyang Houfu.
This time, because Sun Hai sounded the Dengwen drum, Ying Tianfu Yamen suddenly changed from active to passive.
Sun Hai kneeled with his head held high and his chest held high in the main hall of Yingtian Mansion. Sitting in the hall was Zhao Ming, the new magistrate of Yingtian Mansion.
On both sides of the main hall, there are two rows of government officials holding water and fire sticks.
There were crowds of people outside the door, all of them people who came to watch the excitement after hearing the sound of the drum.
"Isn't that person standing inside Sun Hai, the shopkeeper of Sun Fuji? Why is he beating the drum?"
"I don't know, but I remember that Sun Fuji is the property of Jinghaihou Mansion, right?"
"Is it because of the recent rumors about Jinghaihou that the Jinghaihou Mansion can't sit still?"
The people speculated in low voices, craning their necks from time to time to look at the pretense in the courtroom.
This is the original intention of Taizu Taizu to set up the Dengwen Drum. No matter what the case is, as long as people beat the Dengwen Drum, the government must accept it.
It is necessary not only to accept the case, but also to make a judgment that convinces the people. Otherwise, the chief official of the government and even the subordinate officials will be punished.
Now more than an hour has passed since Sun Hai beat the Dengwen drum.
The reason why the trial was delayed was because officials from the Examination and Work Department of the Ministry of Personnel had not arrived.
For cases like this brought to the government from Denwen Drum, officials from the Examination and Work Department must be present to listen and record the trial process in detail.
Because once the drum sounds, it will be a big case that reaches heaven, and the details of the case trial must be submitted to the main hall for the emperor to make a final decision.
Finally, when Zhao Ming had an impatient look on his face after waiting, a dark green official sedan lined up the crowd and arrived at the gate of Yingtian Mansion.
An official in a scarlet robe stepped down from the sedan chair, holding a paper, pen, and file in his arms, and walked into the government office with an expression that said he should avoid strangers.
"I am Tan Kai, a doctor in the examination department, who is responsible for the trial of Sun Fuji and Sun Hai in the Tianfu Yamen today. Let's start."
Tan Kai walked to a desk behind the high hall and sat down, then picked up a pen and prepared to start recording.
The two stewards sent by Fuyang Marquis Mansion and Guangping Marquis Mansion to the government office to watch Jinghai Marquis Mansion's jokes still don't look like they should when a disaster is imminent. Instead, they look at Sun Hai in the hall with a teasing look on their faces.
Everyone was here, Zhao Ming stopped talking nonsense, slapped the table, and said coldly: "Shengtang."
"mighty!"
The water and fire sticks hit the ground in unison, making a dense and neat thumping sound.
The officer said expressionlessly: "Mighty."
The entire government office became solemn in an instant, and even the people watching the excitement at the door subconsciously lowered their talking voices.
Zhao Ming's expression was a little impatient. No one in the entire capital knew that this was a farce directed and performed by the Jinghai Marquis Mansion.
But it happened that Sun Hai chose to beat the Dengwen drum. Even if he wanted to ignore it, he couldn't do it.
So, he saw how Sun Hai didn't like it.
"Pa~"
The Gamen shot again, and the Yamen servants and the water and fire sticks all stopped talking.
Zhao Ming said coldly: "Who is kneeling?"
Sun Hai raised his head and said, "Sir, the common man is Sun Hai, the shopkeeper of Sun Fuji Company in the south of the city."
Hearing Sun Hai announce his identity, Zhao Ming's eyes flashed with disdain unconsciously.
"You are just a businessman, and you dare to beat the Dengwen drum rashly. Do you think you are guilty?"
"Sir, the common people have a huge grievance. Please ask Master Qingtian to make the decision for the common people."
