Chapter 143
Chapter 143
When Cheng Engong heard the news in the court hall, his eyes went dark and he almost passed out.Before he could think about it, he immediately stood up to argue.Yan Dao Cheng'en's government has always been cautious, following the will of the saints, and would never do such an obsessive thing behind the scenes.The words are sincere, every sentence cuts the heart, and he yells and complains.
It's a pity that no matter how loudly he screamed, Cheng Engong was beaten back with just one word from others.
"Cheng Engong doesn't need to be so excited. Presumably, this matter will make the son more clear."
Cheng Engong held a mouthful of old blood in his throat, on the one hand he wanted to argue, on the other hand he felt guilty because he knew his son's ability to do things, his face changed continuously, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Also looking embarrassed, there was Li Yushi who thought that he could finally bring down Xiang Yuan by catching the ironclad evidence. The first few morning courts, he jumped up and down, jumping up and down to impeach Xiang Yuan.
Hearing that Jing Zhaoyin had other secrets about this matter, and that it was related to the Crown Prince's family, Cheng'en Gongfu, Li Yushi felt his mind was buzzing and went blank, and he couldn't think of anything.After he regained his strength and felt the strange eyes from all directions, Li Yushi felt that he had just impeached Xiang Yuan for negligence of duty and asked the saint to punish him, his face was not ordinary hot.
What's even more shocking is that the saint didn't pay him any attention, as if he didn't care at all.The more Li Yushi thought about it, the more flustered he became. At this moment, he would rather be angered by a saint than to be so indifferent.
Ignored by the sage, what future is there for his official career? !
The stretched back collapsed silently. If it wasn't for knowing that he couldn't lose his dignity, Li Yushi felt that he would fall limp to the ground in a matter of minutes.
The saint waved his hand.Seeing this, Jing Zhaoyin, who still wanted to make an impassioned speech, had to shut up and return to his original position.
"This matter will be transferred to the Procuratorate for trial, and the prince will interrogate."
Li Qiqian's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, and before he had time to think about it, he stood up to accept the order.After sitting down, his gaze involuntarily turned to Xiang Yuan.Seeing that Xiang Yuan still looked calm, the prince felt a little calm in his heart.
And Xiang Yuan, who was regarded as calm, was actually scolding his mother in his heart.
The saint is also treacherous, and he actually called the prince as assistant.He and Cheng'en Gong's Mansion had hated each other because of the crown prince, when Cheng'en Gong's Mansion came out to look at him, they almost pounced on him and took a bite.Now that the crown prince is interrogating, he and Cheng'en Gong's mansion are being considered together. He has a clear conscience, but Cheng'en's mansion is not necessarily the same. .
It is still the saint who can be ruthless and teach. This is obviously trying to force the prince and the Cheng'en government to turn their faces.
From the perspective of a saint, Xiang Yuan can quite understand.After all, the crown prince's biological mother died young, and apart from the saint, there was only his natal family.In this case, the sage would naturally have to be wary of his family becoming too big, and in turn, take advantage of the crown prince.What's more, after so many years, the prince's family not only didn't notice the sage's intention to keep the prince alienated from them, but they were always eager to do something, doing everything possible to prove their position in the prince's heart.There is no wink at all.
Xiang Yuan thought unkindly, the sage must have been bored with them and wanted to get rid of them once and for all.
Think about it, if this matter is really caused by the Cheng'en government, the crown prince will definitely be more alienated from the Cheng'en government.Even if the matter was not done by the Cheng'en government, but flies don't bite seamless eggs, there is no handle, and others can't take advantage of it.This is even more disappointing than actually doing it.After all, as the prince's family, he can't see the situation clearly, and can't tell the distance between relatives and estrangements. This kind of political awareness is really not suitable for being an ally.
The court ministers looked different, but they all remained silent.
After the court meeting ended, Xiang Yuan didn't even cast a look at Li Yushi, who described himself as embarrassed.
Xiang Yuan has always been unwilling to waste his saliva on this so-called speech officer with eyes full of shit and a brain full of tofu.
Hmph, I think I'm strong, but I don't know that I'm being played like a monkey.
The most ridiculous thing is, does Li Yushi really think that it is a coincidence that not only has his own rank not improved, but also that no one in his family has a smooth career?
Do you really think that Xiang Yuan is a good-tempered person, even if he slanders and provokes again and again, can he still smile?
Xiang Yuan's mind has never been big.
Holding his breath, Cheng Engong hurried towards the mansion with a gloomy expression, but before he arrived, another worse news came.
Before admitting that the behind-the-scenes instigator was a small official of the Cheng'en government, and recruited the connector to be the steward of the Cheng'en government. After the Inspectorate took over the matter, the court was over and quickly sent people to arrest him. As a result, the steward died .The servant who came to report the letter took a cautious look at Cheng Engong, and said bravely: "Although it seems that the steward committed suicide, but the layout of the scene is rough and there are many loopholes. At first glance, he was murdered and silenced."
Cheng Engong felt that he was going to fall out of the sedan chair.
These words are clearly implying that they are guilty of thieves in the Cheng'en government, killing people to silence their mouths!
"Go back to the house, go back to the house!"
Once Cheng Engong returned to the mansion, he didn't care about anything, he just ran towards the courtyard of the eldest son Zhou Ying.When I rushed to the gate of the courtyard in a hurry, I happened to meet Zhou Ying who was rushing out with big strides.Cheng Engong took a step forward, pointed at him, and said bitterly: "You evil, did you do it?"
Zhou Yan was also dumbfounded at the moment, he just knew that Cheng Engong's mansion was suspected of instigating the glazed tile incident, so he immediately sent someone to call for the steward, but he hurried back within a quarter of an hour after he left, with a horrified expression on his face, he said that the steward was not only dead , and the body was taken away by the Inspectorate.Zhou Yan panicked, and was about to discuss countermeasures with Cheng Engong, when he bumped into his angry father head-on.
"Father, I definitely didn't do it. I didn't instigate anyone to make fake glazed tiles, and I didn't even dare to kill people. How can we say it's us? What evidence do they have?!"
"Without any reason, people can blame you? Just tell me honestly, what did you do behind your back!"
Cheng Engong is naturally not stupid, he naturally understands the virtues of his son Zhou Yi, if he is responsible for the glazed tile incident, it is possible, but he does not have the guts to kill someone to silence him.
Sure enough, Zhou Yan saw that the matter was so important that he couldn't hide it, so he planned to ask the steward to get a batch of glazed tiles at a lower price, so that he could use the opportunity to get some pocket money. Anyway, he didn't do such a thing once. twice.Whenever he encounters such good oil and water, he will take the opportunity to grab it.And those little officials who were in charge of supervising the construction were concerned about his status as the son of Duke Cheng En, and most of them did not dare to disobey, and they went smoothly every time.As a result, the car broke down halfway this time, and before he could make it in time, Zhou Yi felt that the matter was not going well, and it was quite unknown, so he dismissed the idea.
"Father, my son is absolutely true. He really didn't send tiles, so how can he slander out of thin air? Also, I didn't kill the steward. Who knows who did it, and it ended up being planted on us. "
Cheng Engong gritted his teeth and said with a grim face: "You still said, if you hadn't stretched out your hand, how could others have the opportunity to pour dirty water over? Looking at it now, we were plotted to death."
"Then, what should we do? We didn't do it, so we can't take the blame. By the way, there is also His Royal Highness, I will go to the prince to state the facts, and the prince will always believe us."
Thinking of the extremely indifferent expression on the prince's face when someone in the court said that the messenger behind it was Cheng Engong's mansion, Cheng Engong was at a loss.
"No matter what, we really need to tell the prince about this matter earlier. Even if you try to be scolded, you can't let the prince think that Cheng Engong is deceiving and duplicity. Also, if you think about it carefully, what you ordered Nongwa before Who else knows about the steward. Now that the case is being investigated by the Procuratorate, we can't just wait for death and expect others to clear up our grievances. You can't intervene in the open, and secretly support the relationship for your father. You secretly check who the steward had dealt with before his death. Alright, if you have any enmity with Heren, or who you have been close to in the past, don't let go of any doubts, check everything carefully and report it to me."
Zhou Yan nodded again and again, expressing that he kept it in his heart.The father and son discussed in detail again, and then they split up.
But it is said that when Xiang Yuan returned to the mansion, Zhao Shen just came back with the shop, and the husband and wife met at the second gate. Xiang Yuan just took his daughter-in-law's hand when he heard a series of footsteps in front of him. Immediately afterwards, Xiang Zhuozhuo's milky voice came over: "Daddy, daddy, hug, run, cat."
Afterwards, Xiang Yuan squeezed his wife's hand and was ruthlessly thrown away.Facing his smiling daughter-in-law, Ben quickly walked over to meet him, hugged the little chubby, raised his hand high, and kissed Xiang Zhuozhuo's little face twice, and said affectionately: "Zhuozhuo wants Are Dad and Dad playing hide and seek together?"
Xiang Zhuozhuo's chubby face snapped: "Well, play."
Zhao Shen's heart became softer.
Zhuang Zhuang is not as white as Zhuang Zhuang, and speaks much later than Zhuang Zhuang.Now that he is two years old, he still can't speak coherently.Zhao Shen was very anxious at first, shed a lot of tears in private, thinking that Zhuozhuo had something wrong with his mind.However, after being seen by Chuozi a few times, the guy still laughed at him, saying that he cared about it, and he was confused. I didn't see that although Zhuo Zhuo spoke late, he could understand what others said to him. Well, Congzi actually said that he was just lazy, just too lazy to talk.
Zhao Shen was quite angry about this, he always felt that Mongzi cared less about Zhuo Zhuo than about Zhuang Zhuang, and then wondered whether Mong Zi was too fresh, now he was not interested in his youngest son, and would he care about his old wife in the future? Also start to dislike?I have been depressed for several days because of this.Later, if he hadn't been dragged by the scorpion for several days to observe Zhuo Zhuo secretly, and saw that what the scorpion said was true, he didn't know how long he would have been lost.
Zhao Shen and Zhuo Zhuo were sticking together, Xiang Yuan looked at the foolish little follower Hu Zi who was following behind Zhuo Zhuo, and said with a smile: "It's none of your business here, go back and find your parents."
Huzi gave a oh, saluted in a proper manner, then turned and went out of the second gate.
Zhao Shen heard the movement, took a look, and sighed: "Obviously there is only less than a year difference between Zhuozhuo and Huzi, but the tiger is tall and strong, it looks like it is more than three or four years older than Zhuzhuo. "
Huzi is the son of Qi Zhangshao and Niu Er.The two had been with Xiang Yuan and Zhao Shen for a long time, and they did not know when they fell in love with each other for a long time, so Niu Er begged Xiang Yuan, and he didn't mind that Qi Zhangshao had married someone before, and he was willing to marry her.When Hu Zi was born, Zhao Shen considered that Xiang Yu had to be busy with errands, Zhuo Zhuo had been studying in the academy for a long time, and Zhuo Zhuo was lonely, so he asked for the consent of their husband and wife, and put Hu Zi in front of Zhuo Zhuo to fight. Peeing is cultivated as a personal accompanying reading.
"We Zhuzhuo are not bad, look at these small arms and legs, they are strong and full of flesh."
Xiang Zhuozhuo was itchy from being pinched, giggling non-stop.
Seeing Xiang Yuan teasing Zhuo Zhuo dotingly, Zhao Shen laughed in his heart, feeling that he was simply idle because he was thinking wildly before.Knowing that Congzi is not the kind of person who sees things differently and changes his mind, he still has doubts, which is really wrong.
Fortunately, Congzi didn't know his awkwardness, otherwise he might not know how to punish himself.And his punishment methods, every time Zhao Shen thinks of them, he feels his skin burns.
Out of the corner of his eye, he looked at his daughter-in-law with a relaxed expression and a smile on her face.Xiang Yuan couldn't help but bend the corner of his mouth.
The couple have lived together for so long, not to mention that they know each other very well, but they also have a good understanding of each other.The daughter-in-law in front of him is so awkward, do you really think he can't see it?It's just that he doesn't want to talk without evidence, he always values reality when doing things.Looking at his daughter-in-law, if he still can't come here in the next few days, he will try to discuss it with him.
Tsk, reflect on it so quickly, it is missing a good excuse for punishment.pity!
"Speaking of which, how is Xiang Yu's marriage settled? Has there been a set date?"
Zhao Shen paused, walked in with Zhuo Zhuo in his arms, and wrote lightly: "On the second day of the junior high school, I met each other, but I really saw people. I think Miss Lu Er is not suitable for Xiang Yu. I I have sent a letter to tactfully reject this relative, and after a few days I can find out more and choose a new one for Xiang Yu."
Hearing this, Xiang Yuan couldn't help frowning slightly.
Daughter-in-law is not the kind of fussy and fussy.It's inappropriate to ask him to say that, obviously this Lu family is far from the one in the rumors.
But seeing that his daughter-in-law obviously didn't want to say more, Xiang Yuan also changed the topic tactfully.Anyway, it's not just the wife who can ask.
