[Qing Dynasty] "Gege" is polite
Chapter 65
Wen Liang never thought that Yinzhen would come.
Everyone is likely, this fourteenth elder brother who has been gnashing his teeth at him must be the most unlikely one, unless...he lowered his eyebrows, and Yinzhen found out about that.
Wen Liangfu raised his eyes again to look at the galloping horse galloping in front of him. The sudden pull of the rein made the horse stomp impatiently. strangeness."
Yinzhen smiled proudly, and threw the small box into Wen Liang's arms, "It's something you should take away." He benefited a lot from being entrusted to come here.At least the fourth brother won't torment him anymore.
Wen Liang looked down at this inexplicable thing, "Brother Lao Fourteen, don't worry."
His tone was slightly cold, obviously he didn't think so.
Yinzhen heard the meaning of Wen Liang's words, "You are not happy, I am happy in my heart, I really want to know what fourth brother asked me to give you."
He turned around.
"Don't die on the road."
Yinzhen even spoke so harshly of blessings that didn't match his heart.
The horse came and went quickly, Wen Liang frowned looking at the small box in the palm of his hand, and returned to normal after a while.
The sound of horseshoes clattered away, and Yinzhen didn't know what the thing he handed over to Wen Liang meant.
Just as the man far in the inner city wanted.
Wen Liang opened the box, and a small seal was placed in the wooden box.The thing that he personally delivered to the study outside half a day ago.Yinzhen needs to go to the early court, and Wen Liang never needs to report when he enters his outer study.
Wu Sidao sighed softly, "Wu did something wrong." If he hadn't stayed here, Wen Liang would have left long ago.
Wen Liang pursed his lips and said, "It's just a trivial matter." He bid farewell to Wu Sidao quietly, boarded the carriage, and the escorting convoy staggered and left in the distance.
Wu Sidao watched the team gradually disappear from his field of vision, stretched out his hand and rubbed the space between his brows, feeling very unsure of himself.He staggered towards the carriage, hoping that there was nothing hidden in it, and it was not what he thought.
……
In the spring of the 46th year of Kangxi, Hangzhou.
The south of the Yangtze River is like a leisurely unfolding ink painting in the pen of literati and poets. In the hazy rain scene, a beautiful girl with a paper umbrella strolls on the stone bridge to watch the scenery. Under the bridge hole, there are boatmen humming water tunes, making the boat pass by.An unknown flute sounded melodiously, drifting away along the drizzle, stirring the green wicker on the shore with the wind.
The continuous drizzle is always the representative of Jiangnan.
Lu Yi is wearing fashionable clothes, the delicate color sets off her red lips and white teeth, her hair is loosely tied in a bun, trembling slightly with her movements.Her gaze swept to the secret corners of those guards, they protected the entire courtyard.
She was picking out something, and the letters and invitations sent by the concierge were all screened by her before they were handed back to Wen Liang one by one.
When she saw the familiar handwriting, Luyi subconsciously raised her head and looked in the direction of the study, and then continued to sort it out, and then reorganized all the letters and invitations that needed to be handed over to Wen Liang, and sent them all to the study .
Wen Liang was standing safely in front of the desk at the moment, writing something with his sleeves rolled up, Lu Yi bowed and said, "Sir, these are letters that need your review."
Wen Liang said softly, "Let it go."
Lu Yi put the things on Wen Liang's left hand as she said, and then quietly retreated.When Wen Liang finished writing the letter and his eyes fell on the pile of things, the topmost letter jumped into his sight.
Wen Liang picked up the letter, then sat down and opened it, letting more familiar and sharp words fall into sight, and the words of greeting on it were revealed with Wen Liang's movements.
"The spring is cold, I hope you will cherish it." Yinzhen's handwriting.
After Wen Liang read it, he opened the small wooden box under the shelf, and there were several letters with the same handwriting inside.He lingered for a while, and finally took out the remaining few letters and glanced at them before he found the fire pocket.
The unused brazier in the corner of the room was found by Wen Liang. He squatted here, opened the fire folder, and lit the first letter. Following Wen Liang's movements, the flames began to lick the white letter paper. live to be swallowed up.
Wen Liang let go, and the flame wrapped in the letter fell into the brazier, and the four characters "见" on it remained for some reason until the end, but they were also engulfed by the growing flames.The torn letter papers were thrown in one by one, and eventually all were reduced to ashes.
"gentlemen."
Lu Yi re-entered the room and found Wen Liang squatting in the corner of the room. She paused for a moment and continued, "Master Wang Ran, Governor of Zhejiang, sent you a post, inviting you to come to the mansion to enjoy the flowers in three days." Mr. still burned those letters Yes, even though this should be the case, if the remaining correspondence is found out, it will not be a good thing.
However, every time Luyi saw it, she still felt a little inexplicable.Maybe it's because every time the husband saves up several copies, he burns them all at once. I don't know if it's for saving trouble or for other reasons.
Wen Liang got up and took the post from Lu Yi's hand, walked back to the desk to look at it, and then started to grind the ink.
Wen Liang has been in Hangzhou for more than a month, and has always lived in seclusion and had no activities.Not to mention the officialdom in Hangzhou, even in the whole of Hangzhou, there is no one who knows him.
The governor of Zhejiang is looking for him, isn't it because of Yangzhou's affairs?He closed his eyes slightly, thinking to himself.
Hangzhou has its own magistrate, and the governor of Zhejiang is only stationed in Hangzhou. With this immediate boss around, the prefect of Hangzhou must also be under great pressure.
"Master, all the information has been sent to the capital." A hoarse voice suddenly sounded in the room, Wen Liang nodded silently without opening his eyes, and the man quietly left.
When Wen Liang left Beijing, he stayed in Shaoxing for a few days at first, and then came to Yangzhou.Yangzhou is full of flowers, and it is also a transit point for shipping from all over the world. It is really a lively place, and it is also a place where fish and dragons are mixed.Wen Liang made a big mess there, and even attracted the attention of Cao Yin from Jiangning Weaving. Just as the affairs in Yangzhou were almost settled, Wen Liang took people to move to Hangzhou.
The mansion he leased did not have a plaque on it, nor did he have any friends, but no matter what the governor of Zhejiang meant, Wen Liang wanted to meet him.After all, this can be regarded as someone who took the initiative to deliver it to the door.
A few days later, Wen Liang arrived with a letter of worship. The concierge of the palace had a very good attitude, and someone quickly went in to report, and then led Wen Liang back into the mansion.
Wang Ran was just promoted to the governor of Zhejiang Province this year, and Wen Liang and Wen Liang came to Hangzhou in the same time.In this short period of time, traces of haste could still be seen in the mansion.However, the servants of this palace should be well-trained, even when they walk, they are very light and their movements are very soothing.
Flowers and plants can be seen everywhere in the mansion, and the dark fragrance faintly spread out as they walked, lingering on the corners of their clothes reluctantly, and finally being left behind as they walked farther and farther, but within half a step, there were different flowers and trees, It is really beautiful under the cover of layers.
"Sir, please come this way." The attendant bowed, and then led Wen Liang to the pavilion in the middle of the lake. There was already someone sitting there, looking handsome and thin, and there was a half-grown boy standing behind him. Talk for a few words, with a gentle attitude, and look more like a father and son.
There is only one road leading to the Huxin Pavilion. The half-grown boy noticed Wen Liang's approach first, and when his eyes fell on Wen Liang, he immediately showed joy. He stretched out his hand and pulled the cuff of the middle-aged man in front of him. Following his strength, the man raised his head, saw Wen Liang at a glance, stood up immediately, and took a few steps forward, "This is Mr. Su?"
Su Ran is Wen Liang's pseudonym, but he never left his name, so if anyone outside knows his identity, he will only know his surname Su.
Wen Liang cupped his hands and saluted first, "Your Excellency, Corporal, I feel deeply guilty, but I don't know why Your Excellency invited Su to come here. I don't understand this matter, and I feel uneasy."
Wang Ran laughed loudly, and stepped forward to support Wen Liang, "Mr. Su is right, Lang Er, come here."
The half-grown boy came up to Wen Liang, bowed, and said with a blushing face, "The kid was living in the capital. If it wasn't for someone helping him, he would have been powerless to get out. I got off the boat at the pier a few days ago, and I saw it from a distance. Sir, you are very similar to your original benefactor, so you rashly asked uncle to invite you here. Please forgive me for being reckless." The young man spoke clearly, and explained the reason clearly in a few words.
Wen Liang suddenly realized that this was the matter.
The capital, young man...Wen Liang looked carefully at the young man's appearance. Is this the child who was in the bookstore back then?
"Are you the kid from the bookstore?" Wen Liang frowned, recalling the scene back then, he rarely went out dressed as a woman at that time, and he went shopping in the bookstore, that's when he bumped into that child.
If it weren't for the child's dedication to learning and caring for his elders, Wen Liang at that time would not have had superficial kindness.
Surprise burst out of the young man's eyes, and he said repeatedly, "That's true, I think it must have been rescued by my husband and sister, and please give me a bow from the boy—" If it wasn't for the golden leaf back then, let alone being rescued by my uncle. What he found was that even his mother's illness could not be cured. Unexpectedly, he could thank his benefactor in person now, which is really a miracle.
Wen Liang avoided this etiquette, and said in a low voice, "At the beginning she gave a helping hand, and she never thought of repaying it in the future, so you don't need to keep it in mind." This is considered to have recognized the words of the sisters.
Wang Lang said earnestly, "Is saving your life such a trivial matter? You don't have to be so humble, sir."
Wang Lang was indeed from a wealthy family as Wen Liang judged at the beginning. Later, his father died suddenly, his mother was sick and weak, and then his wealth was taken over by his relatives, so he followed the wave of refugees to the capital. Later, most of them were sent back to their original places. Wang Lang His mother didn't want to go back, so she took Wang Lang to live in the dark and could hardly survive.
It was Wen Liang's casual action that solved their urgent need, and even made it possible for Wang Lang to leave his study.Later, Wang Ran tried his best to find his younger siblings and nephews, which will be a later matter.
During the conversation between Wen Liang and Wang Lang, Wang Ran kept watching with a smile on the sidelines, until Wang Lang was a little confused by Wen Liang's words, then he smiled and said, "Lang'er, the purpose of inviting Mr. Hua, I can't let you go around in circles with your husband all the time."
Wang Lang suddenly felt this, smiled shyly, and temporarily retreated behind Wang Ran.
Wang Ranfa's wife had passed away long ago, and he had no children. Because of the love of his husband and wife, he did not want to remarry. Now he still treats Wang Lang as his own child, and naturally he loves him very much.He gently patted Wang Lang's head, looked at Wen Liang and said, "Mr. Su, if you don't want to accompany me to enjoy the flowers and have tea, if this benefactor is not a benefactor, let's leave it for later."
Wen Liang leaned back, "That's the way it is."
Wang Ran is a very gentle and introverted person, his aura is even more ordinary when he is not in the government office, and getting along with Wang Lang is like an ordinary father and son, without any airs at all.This is also the reason why Wang Lang dared to interrupt when Wen Liang and Wang Ran were sitting opposite each other.
"Mr. Su, did your sister come with you?" When Wang Lang said this, his face was shy. After all, a woman was mentioned in the words, "Boy's mother wants to thank you personally, I don't know..." He He hesitated for a moment, afraid that Wen Liang would not want it.
Wen Liang paused, and opened his mouth to refuse the matter, but just as he was about to speak, he suddenly remembered something, and then said, "It is true that I came here with a certain one, but she is weak and has been resting. "
He made up a delicate persona for his "sister" with a deadpan face.
Wen Liang needs to be prepared with both hands, so that if something happens to his apparent identity, he won't even have time to avoid it.If there is a "sister", maybe he can do something.
Wang Ran interjected, "Do you need to find a famous doctor?" After all, he is Lang'er's benefactor, and Wang Ran is also very concerned.
Wen Liang shook his head, and said lightly, "It's innate, and it can't be resolved. If Madam wants to see her, I will let her come to the house next time."
Wang Ran laughed and said, "It happens that Mr. can also bring the girl here."
Wen Liang sees the tricks, "If you have time, it's natural." It will only be that you will never be free.
After sending Wen Liang away, Wang Ran took Wang Lang back to the inner courtyard. After visiting his mother, Wang Lang returned to the study to stay with his uncle.Wang Lang stayed by Wang Ran's side for several years, and his personality became more gentle through precepts and deeds, and he was no longer as anxious as before.
"Uncle, what do you think of Mr. Su?" Wang Lang said cautiously, although from his words, Wang Lang definitely believed that it was Wen Liang's younger sister who donated money back then.But his childhood experience made him a little more suspicious, and he was no longer the immature child at the beginning.
Wang Ran stroked his beard and looked at Wang Lang with a smile, "If you know this, it proves that you are really thinking about it seriously. Let me tell you your opinion first."
Wang Lang said, "Mr. Su seems to be indifferent and very reticent. However, every word is precious, and there are few false words." He has a quick mind, and there are very few people who can make him feel this way in these years. The uncle in front of him is one, Mr. Su is another one.
Wang Ran nodded, agreeing with Wang Lang's meaning, "This Mr. Su is not an ordinary person. Some time ago, he caused a lot of troubles in Yangzhou, and then disappeared. I never expected to appear here." Just now he called Po that person's surname, but his expression remained unmoved, I don't know if it's because the city is deep, or it's always been like this.
Judging from the previous deeds, it should be the former.
The young man was stunned, and he didn't seem to understand, "Uncle, what's the explanation?" Uncle actually knew the origin of Mr. Su!If so, was his meeting with Mr. Su calculated?Ever since he followed Wang Ran, Wang Lang felt that his knowledge was shallow, that such and such things happened, and people's hearts were just like that.
Looking at Wang Lang's blank eyes, Wang Ran chuckled, "How did I teach you when I learned that I was going to take over as governor of Zhejiang?"
Wang Lang thought for a moment, and then repeated the words accurately, "The situation in Zhejiang is complicated, and the minds of the superiors are uncertain, so we should do things with peace of mind, and ignore others, so as not to cause trouble." My memory is very good, so it can be regarded as a retelling.
The officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River is complicated, and it can only be said that it is normal to act like this, not to mention that there is a Cao family here who does not have much to do with Wang Ran.
Wang Ran nodded, stood up and took out a booklet from the box behind him and handed it to Wang Lang, "Let's have a look."
Wang Lang hesitated to accept the memorial, after all, it was a memorial from the court, and Wang Ran rarely showed it to him easily.If Wen Liang hadn't come here today, it just gave Wang Ran a good opportunity to educate Wang Lang, Wang Ran wouldn't be like this.Sharp thinking and flexible thinking can help people act, whether it is for officials or businessmen.
"This, this is impossible!"
After reading it, Wang Lang suddenly looked up at Wang Ran, pointed to the contents of the memorial, and said, "This, this is completely inconsistent with Mr. Su..." How could someone who caused such a big event with just a few words in this memorial? Is it the indifferent Mr. Su? !
On a certain night in December last year, red ink was splattered on the walls of the government office in Yangzhou to smear a complaint, hundreds of words profusely reporting the circumstances of the abduction and trafficking case.In the early morning of the next day, people spread word of mouth about this matter, and within half a day it spread throughout Yangzhou Prefecture!Just when the magistrate of Yangzhou was in a rage, the well-known lawyers in Jiangnan arrived and brought thousands of complaints from the victims, accompanied by countless conclusive evidence, and several big businessmen and officials in Jiangnan were also involved in the kidnapping case, which involved a lot !
When the capital learned of this, they issued three memorials in succession, admonishing the Yangzhou magistrate to deal with it impartially. Wang Ran's assumption of office was a promotion, but he was actually transferred because of his involvement in this matter.Among the officials on display, Cao Yin was on the list!
It's just that among the people who were announced afterwards and implicated in prison, his name was not there.
Wang Ran patted Wang Lang on the shoulder, and put the book away again, "This matter is intertwined, whether it is the complaint on the wall, or the coming of the litigator, it is all based on timing. Yangzhou is so big, if there is no one Pushing behind the scenes, within half a day, the whole of Yangzhou would know about it? Without such a big public outrage, and the sudden appearance of thousands of sufferers, do you think the capital would move so quickly?"
If you want to quell public anger, you need to cut through the mess quickly, and suppression is useless.This is the reason why the capital did not let the magistrate of Yangzhou transfer the matter to the governor of Zhejiang. The incident broke out in Yangzhou, and it needs to be dealt with quickly in Yangzhou in a short period of time. This is the most appropriate way.
Wang Lang murmured, "Then how does Uncle know that this is Mr. Su's handwriting?"
After all, what was written in the memorial was only the Yangzhou case, nothing else was involved, and the identity of the person behind the scenes was not mentioned at all.
Wang Ran smiled and said, "Of course it's Cao Yin."
Being exposed in front of people for no reason, even if he was dealt with quickly in the end, how could Cao Yin bear this tone?After all, Cao Yin is in charge of weaving in Jiangning, and he is also inspecting the Lianghuai salt canal to supervise the censor. It is not difficult to find someone who has made a mark in Jiangnan.
This Mr. Su entered the eyes of Jiangnan officials at this time, but there were only some faint traces, and he couldn't find anyone if he was not slippery.He originally thought that Mr. Su should be in Shaoxing, but he didn't expect to appear in Hangzhou.
Wang Lang pouted, feeling that Wang Ran spoke very lightly, but he couldn't understand at all.Wang Ran patted him on the shoulder, "You, Mr. Su, are not easy." You can easily avoid these things, and you don't know who is behind the scenes... If there is no one, then this Mr. Su is even more curious.
The sword is slanted, but it is so practical, such a genius, it really makes people want to recruit.Unfortunately, he should be late.
Wang Ran smiled and asked Wang Lang to go back and think about today's affairs, and walked behind the desk and sat down by himself.
Yangzhou's ending is so crisp and neat, but the broken wrist is admirable.Cao Yin searched like that, but he didn't know that people were moving under his nose.Did this Mr. Su know about Wang Lang before he came here?Or, he himself also came with a purpose?
So good.
Wang Ran showed a smile. It is good to have a purpose. If there is a purpose, there will be action, and if there is action, some clues can be seen. For Wang Lang's sake, Wang Ran ordered people to sweep away all traces of Mr. Su in Hangzhou.
The Cao family is in full swing in the south of the Yangtze River, so there are naturally people who dislike them, and unfortunately, Wang Ran is one of them.
When Wen Liang returned to the mansion, Lu Yi greeted her as soon as she entered the mansion. There is no need for other things to go here. The husband will not let her follow, even if she knows that there must be someone guarding in the dark, Lu Yi is very worried about Wen Liang's situation. Wen Liang returned safely, and Lu Yi felt relieved.
"Lvyi, send someone to pick out the clothes, as well as the powder, daisy and rouge, just choose according to the habit in the capital." Wen Liang inadvertently ordered, which immediately made Luyi jump.
Ever since Wen Liang returned to her original attire, she never touched those clothes again, and Lu Yi thought that her husband had completely abandoned all the previous things.
Wen Liang took off his cloak and hung it on the shelf, "Wang Ran still has doubts about me, it's easier to change into women's clothes." Tongque didn't follow out of Beijing, and only Wen Liang and Tongque knew about the gift of gold leaves, just right, knew The fewer people there, the better.The less people know, the less people will discover the relationship.
Luyi still had doubts in her heart, but she still followed the order, and soon sent people out to buy this item, and according to Wen Liang's instructions, it was not a big purchase, but just to pretend to change the clothes of the season.
Wang Ran was just smiling, and Wen Liang knew about it within a short time of meeting, and Wen Liang even thought that he should know what he had done in his current capacity.Fortunately, there is friction between Wang Ran and Cao Yin, and he will definitely not have other connections with Cao Yin.
Wen Liang stroked the books placed in the corner, adding Cao Yin's name back then was indeed risky.The other officials, even the prefect or the governor, are not as powerful as the Cao family, and they are a big family in the south of the Yangtze River.Moreover, the Cao family has been in charge of Jiangning weaving for three consecutive generations, and now Cao Yin is in charge of the Lianghuai salt department, and even fewer people dare to offend him.
But the depth of the Cao family's participation in it is unprecedented.Cao Yin controls the Cao family, but the Cao family is not limited to Cao Yin alone!
When Wen Liang dug out the secret connection between Cao's family and the former prince, he gave this gift to Yinhu without hesitation, and sent someone back to Beijing to inform Yinzhen of the matter, and immediately blew it up.Now according to the movements in Beijing, no matter how much Cao Yin is favored, he will have to calm down in the past few years.Perhaps these things were not done by Cao Yin, but as long as the name of the Cao family is mentioned, it is Cao Yin's responsibility. Who said that the current head of the Cao family is Cao Yin?
In this operation, there are quite a few officials in the south of the Yangtze River who have repeatedly lost their horses. They are those who are trying to gain fame, and there are people's anger in front of them. The capital's handling is merciless.
Most of the newly appointed officials are innocent people, and there are also new officials who were put down by Kangxi for training, which is better than before.Maybe after they have sunk for several years, they will go back to the old path of their predecessors, but it will take time to know.Among them, there are also a few people who were able to act by Yinzhen, and they were cleverly placed at the key points.Although it is not a conspicuous leisure place, there are more news that can be learned during the turnaround.
This is also the reason why Wen Liang picked up this matter to do it. The kidnapping case is too involved, and the people who know about it are just passing by, so if they live in peace, it will be the best thing.After all these things were superimposed, this atmosphere created a strange scene where the Jiangnan officialdom was fighting internally and externally. If Wen Liang wanted to leverage this Jiangnan, he needed a foothold.
This is just the beginning.
Wen Liang thought inadvertently that maybe even Emperor Kangxi knew that he was in Jiangnan right now, so he didn't know how the old man was feeling now, just don't get into a rage.Even though his mission was so, he also wanted to watch the old man live for a few more years.
Emperor Kangxi was indeed angry.
After court the next morning, he arrested Yinzhen to Qianqing Palace with a blank face, looked at the fourth child and said, "When Wen Liang left Beijing, why did he tell you?" That brat!
Yinzhen's expression was as usual, and he bowed and said, "Mr. only said that he wanted to go back to his hometown and enjoy the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River. My son thought about Mr.'s situation over the years, so he agreed to this matter. Besides, Mr. If the master wants to come and go, the minister will not be able to stop him."
Emperor Kangxi casually threw the memorial in front of Yinzhen, stood up and paced back and forth, "Tour? What's going on in the south of the Yangtze River? Doesn't he know about Wen Liang? Bullshit!" He suddenly stopped and looked at Yinzhen, "Before Wen Liang moves, Do you know about this?"
Yinzhen said frankly, "That's true. The day before the action, sir, he sent someone to come over by water." He really didn't know that Wen Liang wanted to move, but long after he let Wen Liang go out of Beijing and gave him a seal to protect him, I knew this day would come sooner or later.
Wen Liang is an unrestrained horse, if he puts on the bridle forcibly, both sides will suffer in the end.It's like on a cliff pontoon, it's up to you to see who can beat who.
Emperor Kangxi snorted, the day before the action...
It will take seven or eight days to come here by water from the south of the Yangtze River. When the news reaches Yinzhen, the day lily will be cold!
Emperor Kangxi sat down and looked at Yinzhen with an inexplicable expression, as if he wanted to see something different from Yinzhen.Yinzhen leaned forward, and took out a letter from his arms, "This is the letter that Mr. Wang hopes his son will pass on to Lord Long Live."
He didn't hand it to Emperor Kangxi hastily, but just stood calmly at His Highness.After a while, Emperor Kangxi waved his hand, Liang Jiugong went down the steps silently, and took the letter from Yinzhen.
Yinzhen didn't stay longer, knowing that Emperor Kangxi's current thoughts were not on him, so he quit.He originally planned to go to Yonghe Palace to meet De Concubine, but he remembered the little friction that would happen every time he went to see De Concubine during this period, so he paused with a headache and went directly to Elder Brother's office.
After Yinzhen realized that he was not among the elder brothers who left the palace in the first half month, his consciousness was depressed for a long time.
But most of the elder brothers who lived in the elder brother's house had to move out of the elder brother's house after they became adults and married wives, and the old nine and ten had already left.Since the relationship between Yinzhen and Yinxiang has become better, it is also because they will leave the house together in the future.However, Emperor Kangxi was very fond of him, and Yinzhen was not included in the list of going out of the palace, and he still stayed in elder brother's house.
Emperor Kangxi's favor is naturally what the brothers hope for, but there is a difference between leaving the palace and leaving the palace.Yinzhen always felt that something was wrong, and Yinxiang was so angry that he tugged at his ear and told him a lesson. At the same time, he gave him a serious science education about the money needed for living outside, which immediately dispelled most of Yinzhen's sadness and loss.
Life in Elder Brother's Institute is indeed cramped, but the exchange of favors and courtesy is much less, not to mention the cost of three meals a day for living outside is the simplest thing.Yinzhen naturally thought about this, but the one who calculated these things most clearly should be Wanyan, he himself didn't think so much.
Yinxiang pulled him to sit down, "I always feel that you have developed such a brain for nothing."
Yinzhen's abductor stabbed Yinxiang's back pain. This kid has been in the martial arts field for a long time, and his black hands are getting more and more ruthless.Yin Xiang rubbed this place helplessly, and when he was about to say something, he heard a report that Si Baylor was coming.
Yinzhen and Yinxiang stood up, and Yinzhen came in with a wet body, "Fourth brother, why don't you open an umbrella?" Yinxiang frowned, and hurriedly asked the personal servant to fetch the clothes.
Yinzhen patted the raindrops on his shoulder, and stretched out his hand to stop Yinxiang's movement, "It's okay, the clothes don't get wet very easily." Yinzhen stretched out his hand to touch twice, but he didn't really feel the moisture inside, "This cloth is Not bad."
Yinzhen's unintentional words reminded Yinzhen of the Cao family.It can be seen that Huang Ama still has feelings for the handling of the Cao family, especially Cao Yin.When he went to Jiangnan several times, Kangxi chose Cao's family to pick him up. This kind of friendship is rare.At the same time, it also planted the root of the Cao family's high self-esteem, as well as the huge deficit.
Yinzhen speculated about this matter, and revealed it at the right time, which should be a huge blow to the Cao family.
"Fourth brother?" Yinzhen shouted dissatisfiedly, seeing that Yinzhen finally came to his senses, "Will you come here just to stand in front of the two of us?"
Yinzhen glared at him, and they sat down to talk, Yinxiang unknowingly mentioned the matter of Jiangnan, "If Huang Ama hadn't been lenient, I would like to know who that person is?" After all, in the prefect How courageous is it to splash red ink outside the yamen?
Yinzhen nodded, with a more serious expression, "Those people should be killed! It's really abominable!" No matter how much people are admired and loved, human trafficking is the most disgusting act.
Yinzhen tapped the table with his fingertips, looked at his two younger brothers and said casually, "It's Mr.'s handwriting." Before he came in, he asked people to clear away the surrounding palace people.Talking in the palace is easy to hear through the walls, so we have to guard against it.
"Sir, what first... sir!" Yinzhen turned his head and looked at Yinzhen suddenly, with such a strong force, Yinzhen could even hear a clicking sound, presumably he was a little twisted.Yinzhen touched his neck and wailed, "It hurts me to death——"
Yinzhen suppressed the thought of sighing, and summoned Su Peisheng to knead him for a long time before he felt more comfortable, "Fourteen, why can't you settle down?"
Yinzhen clutched his neck, if he didn't feel uncomfortable now, he would shake Yinzhen's shoulders himself, "So what does it have to do with Wenliang?"
Yinzhen patted his forehead, "Call me sir." Then he said, "The situation in Jiangnan is complicated. He went to open up the situation and picked this matter to start with." Yinzhen had never discussed such a deep issue with the two of them before. , Now that Yinzhen speaks, it is self-evident.
A look of joy flashed in Yinxiang's eyes, and he stepped on the boot that Yinzhen kicked over, "Fourth brother, that Huang Ama..."
"Of course I know." Yinzhen Quan pretended not to know the two little tricks underneath, and his playful character has not changed until now.Fortunately, they knew in their hearts what should be said and what should not be said.
"Fourth brother, what is Mr. Wen's identity? It's impossible for Huang Ama to spoil an ordinary person for no reason, right?" Yinzhen's neck finally felt better, and he moved the chair and sat beside Yinzhen, with piercing eyes The fourth brother is bound to give an answer.
Yinzhen turned his head back calmly, "This is Mr.'s own secret. If he hadn't mentioned it to you, I wouldn't have said anything."
Yinzhen turned back again, "But the starling also knows!" On the eve of the accident, he vaguely knew what Yinhu had been busy with, and it was all related to Wen Liang, as well as the matter of Wen Liang's man disguised as a woman.
Yinzhen's expression was slightly cold, "Of course he knows." Not only Yinhu, but Yinzhi should also know about Wen Liang's disguise as a woman, but the only person who knows his identity should be Yinhu.
Yinzhen touched the goose bumps on his arm, and poked Yinzhen with his hand, "Fourth brother, don't be air-conditioned. If you don't say it, don't say it. When Mr. Wen speaks, you don't even know the year of the monkey." He secretly guessed in his heart that what Emperor Kangxi valued so much may have something to do with the royal family.It's just that he can't guess which one it is, it can't be Huang Ama's illegitimate son, right?
etc!He stared at Yinzhen with wide eyes in astonishment, before he could speak, Yinzhen's generous palm pressed his eyes, "No, don't think about it."
"Why does the fourth brother know what I'm thinking? Hey, no?" Yinzhen heaved a sigh of relief, it's okay if he doesn't, this guess is really too violent, he can't bear it a bit, so it's better not to think about it.
Under this fright, Yinzhen found that his neck was completely healed. He stood up and twisted around twice, and he felt much more comfortable.Seeing that Yinzhen seemed to have the intention of leaving, he suddenly remembered something, "Fourth brother, have you gone to Erniang's?"
Yinzhen paused.
Yinzhen understood, he sat down and said helplessly, "fourth brother, I don't know what you are stubborn about. Although the fourth sister-in-law...but it's all over now, if there is no one in the house, it's really not good." It is to keep filial piety Well, it only takes one year for a husband to mourn for his wife, and it has already passed by now.If it weren't for Yinzhen who knew very well that the fourth brother was not a person who loves his sons and daughters, he would have thought that Yinzhen was in love with Ulanara.
Yinzhen looked solemn, "There is no need to say that again."
"Fourth brother." Yinxiang couldn't help but also said, "This matter is not a serious problem now, but if Huang Ama forces the order, what will happen then?"
Emperor Kangxi was not incapable of making things difficult for others, but Yinzhen declined several times this year, which indeed aroused suspicion.If Yinzhen hadn't been acting normally, Kangxi would have started to doubt whether he was in good health...cough.
Yinzhen said, "Don't say any more." He looked calm, unable to see what he was thinking, Yinzhen and Yinxiang had no choice but to give up.According to the fourth brother's temper, if he didn't want to do something, no matter how hard he tried, it would be useless.Stubbornly tight.
……
Qianqing Palace.
Not long after Yinzhen left, Liang Jiugong came in and whispered, "Sibeile went to elder brother's place."
Emperor Kangxi seemed to nod his head, and his eyes fell on the letter that Yinzhen brought just now. Even Yinzhen didn't know what was in it.Just thinking about what the kid might say, Emperor Kangxi felt a headache.This trouble-making ability is really not small.
That's it.
Emperor Kangxi rubbed the center of his brows, took out the gold-rimmed glasses, put them on, and opened the envelope.
After reading it for a long time, Emperor Kangxi was almost laughed at by Wen Liangqi. This kid is really brave, and he still wants to get a promise to do things cheaply from him?The suppression of the previous incident had wasted a lot of Kangxi's efforts, and now seeing Wen Liang's continued actions, Emperor Kangxi felt the urge to send someone to bring him back.
Emperor Kangxi tapped the envelope with a pen, Jiangnan... He thought of the two imperial envoys who died suddenly for no reason, and his eyes were deep and dark, with a hint of malice.
"Liang Jiugong, take the blank imperial decree." Emperor Kangxi recruited the eunuch in charge, and he was in charge of these.
Liang Jiugong hurried to get the object and offered it with both hands.
Emperor Kangxi spread out the blank imperial decree on the table, raised his hand to write a few lines of small characters, and then took out the jade seal ink pad and stamped it on the lower right corner.
"Send this to Jiangnan and hand it over to Wenliang." Emperor Kangxi put it away and threw it into Liang Jiugong's arms casually, "Let's make trouble, I'll see how Wenliang can turn Jiangnan upside down!"
Everyone is likely, this fourteenth elder brother who has been gnashing his teeth at him must be the most unlikely one, unless...he lowered his eyebrows, and Yinzhen found out about that.
Wen Liangfu raised his eyes again to look at the galloping horse galloping in front of him. The sudden pull of the rein made the horse stomp impatiently. strangeness."
Yinzhen smiled proudly, and threw the small box into Wen Liang's arms, "It's something you should take away." He benefited a lot from being entrusted to come here.At least the fourth brother won't torment him anymore.
Wen Liang looked down at this inexplicable thing, "Brother Lao Fourteen, don't worry."
His tone was slightly cold, obviously he didn't think so.
Yinzhen heard the meaning of Wen Liang's words, "You are not happy, I am happy in my heart, I really want to know what fourth brother asked me to give you."
He turned around.
"Don't die on the road."
Yinzhen even spoke so harshly of blessings that didn't match his heart.
The horse came and went quickly, Wen Liang frowned looking at the small box in the palm of his hand, and returned to normal after a while.
The sound of horseshoes clattered away, and Yinzhen didn't know what the thing he handed over to Wen Liang meant.
Just as the man far in the inner city wanted.
Wen Liang opened the box, and a small seal was placed in the wooden box.The thing that he personally delivered to the study outside half a day ago.Yinzhen needs to go to the early court, and Wen Liang never needs to report when he enters his outer study.
Wu Sidao sighed softly, "Wu did something wrong." If he hadn't stayed here, Wen Liang would have left long ago.
Wen Liang pursed his lips and said, "It's just a trivial matter." He bid farewell to Wu Sidao quietly, boarded the carriage, and the escorting convoy staggered and left in the distance.
Wu Sidao watched the team gradually disappear from his field of vision, stretched out his hand and rubbed the space between his brows, feeling very unsure of himself.He staggered towards the carriage, hoping that there was nothing hidden in it, and it was not what he thought.
……
In the spring of the 46th year of Kangxi, Hangzhou.
The south of the Yangtze River is like a leisurely unfolding ink painting in the pen of literati and poets. In the hazy rain scene, a beautiful girl with a paper umbrella strolls on the stone bridge to watch the scenery. Under the bridge hole, there are boatmen humming water tunes, making the boat pass by.An unknown flute sounded melodiously, drifting away along the drizzle, stirring the green wicker on the shore with the wind.
The continuous drizzle is always the representative of Jiangnan.
Lu Yi is wearing fashionable clothes, the delicate color sets off her red lips and white teeth, her hair is loosely tied in a bun, trembling slightly with her movements.Her gaze swept to the secret corners of those guards, they protected the entire courtyard.
She was picking out something, and the letters and invitations sent by the concierge were all screened by her before they were handed back to Wen Liang one by one.
When she saw the familiar handwriting, Luyi subconsciously raised her head and looked in the direction of the study, and then continued to sort it out, and then reorganized all the letters and invitations that needed to be handed over to Wen Liang, and sent them all to the study .
Wen Liang was standing safely in front of the desk at the moment, writing something with his sleeves rolled up, Lu Yi bowed and said, "Sir, these are letters that need your review."
Wen Liang said softly, "Let it go."
Lu Yi put the things on Wen Liang's left hand as she said, and then quietly retreated.When Wen Liang finished writing the letter and his eyes fell on the pile of things, the topmost letter jumped into his sight.
Wen Liang picked up the letter, then sat down and opened it, letting more familiar and sharp words fall into sight, and the words of greeting on it were revealed with Wen Liang's movements.
"The spring is cold, I hope you will cherish it." Yinzhen's handwriting.
After Wen Liang read it, he opened the small wooden box under the shelf, and there were several letters with the same handwriting inside.He lingered for a while, and finally took out the remaining few letters and glanced at them before he found the fire pocket.
The unused brazier in the corner of the room was found by Wen Liang. He squatted here, opened the fire folder, and lit the first letter. Following Wen Liang's movements, the flames began to lick the white letter paper. live to be swallowed up.
Wen Liang let go, and the flame wrapped in the letter fell into the brazier, and the four characters "见" on it remained for some reason until the end, but they were also engulfed by the growing flames.The torn letter papers were thrown in one by one, and eventually all were reduced to ashes.
"gentlemen."
Lu Yi re-entered the room and found Wen Liang squatting in the corner of the room. She paused for a moment and continued, "Master Wang Ran, Governor of Zhejiang, sent you a post, inviting you to come to the mansion to enjoy the flowers in three days." Mr. still burned those letters Yes, even though this should be the case, if the remaining correspondence is found out, it will not be a good thing.
However, every time Luyi saw it, she still felt a little inexplicable.Maybe it's because every time the husband saves up several copies, he burns them all at once. I don't know if it's for saving trouble or for other reasons.
Wen Liang got up and took the post from Lu Yi's hand, walked back to the desk to look at it, and then started to grind the ink.
Wen Liang has been in Hangzhou for more than a month, and has always lived in seclusion and had no activities.Not to mention the officialdom in Hangzhou, even in the whole of Hangzhou, there is no one who knows him.
The governor of Zhejiang is looking for him, isn't it because of Yangzhou's affairs?He closed his eyes slightly, thinking to himself.
Hangzhou has its own magistrate, and the governor of Zhejiang is only stationed in Hangzhou. With this immediate boss around, the prefect of Hangzhou must also be under great pressure.
"Master, all the information has been sent to the capital." A hoarse voice suddenly sounded in the room, Wen Liang nodded silently without opening his eyes, and the man quietly left.
When Wen Liang left Beijing, he stayed in Shaoxing for a few days at first, and then came to Yangzhou.Yangzhou is full of flowers, and it is also a transit point for shipping from all over the world. It is really a lively place, and it is also a place where fish and dragons are mixed.Wen Liang made a big mess there, and even attracted the attention of Cao Yin from Jiangning Weaving. Just as the affairs in Yangzhou were almost settled, Wen Liang took people to move to Hangzhou.
The mansion he leased did not have a plaque on it, nor did he have any friends, but no matter what the governor of Zhejiang meant, Wen Liang wanted to meet him.After all, this can be regarded as someone who took the initiative to deliver it to the door.
A few days later, Wen Liang arrived with a letter of worship. The concierge of the palace had a very good attitude, and someone quickly went in to report, and then led Wen Liang back into the mansion.
Wang Ran was just promoted to the governor of Zhejiang Province this year, and Wen Liang and Wen Liang came to Hangzhou in the same time.In this short period of time, traces of haste could still be seen in the mansion.However, the servants of this palace should be well-trained, even when they walk, they are very light and their movements are very soothing.
Flowers and plants can be seen everywhere in the mansion, and the dark fragrance faintly spread out as they walked, lingering on the corners of their clothes reluctantly, and finally being left behind as they walked farther and farther, but within half a step, there were different flowers and trees, It is really beautiful under the cover of layers.
"Sir, please come this way." The attendant bowed, and then led Wen Liang to the pavilion in the middle of the lake. There was already someone sitting there, looking handsome and thin, and there was a half-grown boy standing behind him. Talk for a few words, with a gentle attitude, and look more like a father and son.
There is only one road leading to the Huxin Pavilion. The half-grown boy noticed Wen Liang's approach first, and when his eyes fell on Wen Liang, he immediately showed joy. He stretched out his hand and pulled the cuff of the middle-aged man in front of him. Following his strength, the man raised his head, saw Wen Liang at a glance, stood up immediately, and took a few steps forward, "This is Mr. Su?"
Su Ran is Wen Liang's pseudonym, but he never left his name, so if anyone outside knows his identity, he will only know his surname Su.
Wen Liang cupped his hands and saluted first, "Your Excellency, Corporal, I feel deeply guilty, but I don't know why Your Excellency invited Su to come here. I don't understand this matter, and I feel uneasy."
Wang Ran laughed loudly, and stepped forward to support Wen Liang, "Mr. Su is right, Lang Er, come here."
The half-grown boy came up to Wen Liang, bowed, and said with a blushing face, "The kid was living in the capital. If it wasn't for someone helping him, he would have been powerless to get out. I got off the boat at the pier a few days ago, and I saw it from a distance. Sir, you are very similar to your original benefactor, so you rashly asked uncle to invite you here. Please forgive me for being reckless." The young man spoke clearly, and explained the reason clearly in a few words.
Wen Liang suddenly realized that this was the matter.
The capital, young man...Wen Liang looked carefully at the young man's appearance. Is this the child who was in the bookstore back then?
"Are you the kid from the bookstore?" Wen Liang frowned, recalling the scene back then, he rarely went out dressed as a woman at that time, and he went shopping in the bookstore, that's when he bumped into that child.
If it weren't for the child's dedication to learning and caring for his elders, Wen Liang at that time would not have had superficial kindness.
Surprise burst out of the young man's eyes, and he said repeatedly, "That's true, I think it must have been rescued by my husband and sister, and please give me a bow from the boy—" If it wasn't for the golden leaf back then, let alone being rescued by my uncle. What he found was that even his mother's illness could not be cured. Unexpectedly, he could thank his benefactor in person now, which is really a miracle.
Wen Liang avoided this etiquette, and said in a low voice, "At the beginning she gave a helping hand, and she never thought of repaying it in the future, so you don't need to keep it in mind." This is considered to have recognized the words of the sisters.
Wang Lang said earnestly, "Is saving your life such a trivial matter? You don't have to be so humble, sir."
Wang Lang was indeed from a wealthy family as Wen Liang judged at the beginning. Later, his father died suddenly, his mother was sick and weak, and then his wealth was taken over by his relatives, so he followed the wave of refugees to the capital. Later, most of them were sent back to their original places. Wang Lang His mother didn't want to go back, so she took Wang Lang to live in the dark and could hardly survive.
It was Wen Liang's casual action that solved their urgent need, and even made it possible for Wang Lang to leave his study.Later, Wang Ran tried his best to find his younger siblings and nephews, which will be a later matter.
During the conversation between Wen Liang and Wang Lang, Wang Ran kept watching with a smile on the sidelines, until Wang Lang was a little confused by Wen Liang's words, then he smiled and said, "Lang'er, the purpose of inviting Mr. Hua, I can't let you go around in circles with your husband all the time."
Wang Lang suddenly felt this, smiled shyly, and temporarily retreated behind Wang Ran.
Wang Ranfa's wife had passed away long ago, and he had no children. Because of the love of his husband and wife, he did not want to remarry. Now he still treats Wang Lang as his own child, and naturally he loves him very much.He gently patted Wang Lang's head, looked at Wen Liang and said, "Mr. Su, if you don't want to accompany me to enjoy the flowers and have tea, if this benefactor is not a benefactor, let's leave it for later."
Wen Liang leaned back, "That's the way it is."
Wang Ran is a very gentle and introverted person, his aura is even more ordinary when he is not in the government office, and getting along with Wang Lang is like an ordinary father and son, without any airs at all.This is also the reason why Wang Lang dared to interrupt when Wen Liang and Wang Ran were sitting opposite each other.
"Mr. Su, did your sister come with you?" When Wang Lang said this, his face was shy. After all, a woman was mentioned in the words, "Boy's mother wants to thank you personally, I don't know..." He He hesitated for a moment, afraid that Wen Liang would not want it.
Wen Liang paused, and opened his mouth to refuse the matter, but just as he was about to speak, he suddenly remembered something, and then said, "It is true that I came here with a certain one, but she is weak and has been resting. "
He made up a delicate persona for his "sister" with a deadpan face.
Wen Liang needs to be prepared with both hands, so that if something happens to his apparent identity, he won't even have time to avoid it.If there is a "sister", maybe he can do something.
Wang Ran interjected, "Do you need to find a famous doctor?" After all, he is Lang'er's benefactor, and Wang Ran is also very concerned.
Wen Liang shook his head, and said lightly, "It's innate, and it can't be resolved. If Madam wants to see her, I will let her come to the house next time."
Wang Ran laughed and said, "It happens that Mr. can also bring the girl here."
Wen Liang sees the tricks, "If you have time, it's natural." It will only be that you will never be free.
After sending Wen Liang away, Wang Ran took Wang Lang back to the inner courtyard. After visiting his mother, Wang Lang returned to the study to stay with his uncle.Wang Lang stayed by Wang Ran's side for several years, and his personality became more gentle through precepts and deeds, and he was no longer as anxious as before.
"Uncle, what do you think of Mr. Su?" Wang Lang said cautiously, although from his words, Wang Lang definitely believed that it was Wen Liang's younger sister who donated money back then.But his childhood experience made him a little more suspicious, and he was no longer the immature child at the beginning.
Wang Ran stroked his beard and looked at Wang Lang with a smile, "If you know this, it proves that you are really thinking about it seriously. Let me tell you your opinion first."
Wang Lang said, "Mr. Su seems to be indifferent and very reticent. However, every word is precious, and there are few false words." He has a quick mind, and there are very few people who can make him feel this way in these years. The uncle in front of him is one, Mr. Su is another one.
Wang Ran nodded, agreeing with Wang Lang's meaning, "This Mr. Su is not an ordinary person. Some time ago, he caused a lot of troubles in Yangzhou, and then disappeared. I never expected to appear here." Just now he called Po that person's surname, but his expression remained unmoved, I don't know if it's because the city is deep, or it's always been like this.
Judging from the previous deeds, it should be the former.
The young man was stunned, and he didn't seem to understand, "Uncle, what's the explanation?" Uncle actually knew the origin of Mr. Su!If so, was his meeting with Mr. Su calculated?Ever since he followed Wang Ran, Wang Lang felt that his knowledge was shallow, that such and such things happened, and people's hearts were just like that.
Looking at Wang Lang's blank eyes, Wang Ran chuckled, "How did I teach you when I learned that I was going to take over as governor of Zhejiang?"
Wang Lang thought for a moment, and then repeated the words accurately, "The situation in Zhejiang is complicated, and the minds of the superiors are uncertain, so we should do things with peace of mind, and ignore others, so as not to cause trouble." My memory is very good, so it can be regarded as a retelling.
The officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River is complicated, and it can only be said that it is normal to act like this, not to mention that there is a Cao family here who does not have much to do with Wang Ran.
Wang Ran nodded, stood up and took out a booklet from the box behind him and handed it to Wang Lang, "Let's have a look."
Wang Lang hesitated to accept the memorial, after all, it was a memorial from the court, and Wang Ran rarely showed it to him easily.If Wen Liang hadn't come here today, it just gave Wang Ran a good opportunity to educate Wang Lang, Wang Ran wouldn't be like this.Sharp thinking and flexible thinking can help people act, whether it is for officials or businessmen.
"This, this is impossible!"
After reading it, Wang Lang suddenly looked up at Wang Ran, pointed to the contents of the memorial, and said, "This, this is completely inconsistent with Mr. Su..." How could someone who caused such a big event with just a few words in this memorial? Is it the indifferent Mr. Su? !
On a certain night in December last year, red ink was splattered on the walls of the government office in Yangzhou to smear a complaint, hundreds of words profusely reporting the circumstances of the abduction and trafficking case.In the early morning of the next day, people spread word of mouth about this matter, and within half a day it spread throughout Yangzhou Prefecture!Just when the magistrate of Yangzhou was in a rage, the well-known lawyers in Jiangnan arrived and brought thousands of complaints from the victims, accompanied by countless conclusive evidence, and several big businessmen and officials in Jiangnan were also involved in the kidnapping case, which involved a lot !
When the capital learned of this, they issued three memorials in succession, admonishing the Yangzhou magistrate to deal with it impartially. Wang Ran's assumption of office was a promotion, but he was actually transferred because of his involvement in this matter.Among the officials on display, Cao Yin was on the list!
It's just that among the people who were announced afterwards and implicated in prison, his name was not there.
Wang Ran patted Wang Lang on the shoulder, and put the book away again, "This matter is intertwined, whether it is the complaint on the wall, or the coming of the litigator, it is all based on timing. Yangzhou is so big, if there is no one Pushing behind the scenes, within half a day, the whole of Yangzhou would know about it? Without such a big public outrage, and the sudden appearance of thousands of sufferers, do you think the capital would move so quickly?"
If you want to quell public anger, you need to cut through the mess quickly, and suppression is useless.This is the reason why the capital did not let the magistrate of Yangzhou transfer the matter to the governor of Zhejiang. The incident broke out in Yangzhou, and it needs to be dealt with quickly in Yangzhou in a short period of time. This is the most appropriate way.
Wang Lang murmured, "Then how does Uncle know that this is Mr. Su's handwriting?"
After all, what was written in the memorial was only the Yangzhou case, nothing else was involved, and the identity of the person behind the scenes was not mentioned at all.
Wang Ran smiled and said, "Of course it's Cao Yin."
Being exposed in front of people for no reason, even if he was dealt with quickly in the end, how could Cao Yin bear this tone?After all, Cao Yin is in charge of weaving in Jiangning, and he is also inspecting the Lianghuai salt canal to supervise the censor. It is not difficult to find someone who has made a mark in Jiangnan.
This Mr. Su entered the eyes of Jiangnan officials at this time, but there were only some faint traces, and he couldn't find anyone if he was not slippery.He originally thought that Mr. Su should be in Shaoxing, but he didn't expect to appear in Hangzhou.
Wang Lang pouted, feeling that Wang Ran spoke very lightly, but he couldn't understand at all.Wang Ran patted him on the shoulder, "You, Mr. Su, are not easy." You can easily avoid these things, and you don't know who is behind the scenes... If there is no one, then this Mr. Su is even more curious.
The sword is slanted, but it is so practical, such a genius, it really makes people want to recruit.Unfortunately, he should be late.
Wang Ran smiled and asked Wang Lang to go back and think about today's affairs, and walked behind the desk and sat down by himself.
Yangzhou's ending is so crisp and neat, but the broken wrist is admirable.Cao Yin searched like that, but he didn't know that people were moving under his nose.Did this Mr. Su know about Wang Lang before he came here?Or, he himself also came with a purpose?
So good.
Wang Ran showed a smile. It is good to have a purpose. If there is a purpose, there will be action, and if there is action, some clues can be seen. For Wang Lang's sake, Wang Ran ordered people to sweep away all traces of Mr. Su in Hangzhou.
The Cao family is in full swing in the south of the Yangtze River, so there are naturally people who dislike them, and unfortunately, Wang Ran is one of them.
When Wen Liang returned to the mansion, Lu Yi greeted her as soon as she entered the mansion. There is no need for other things to go here. The husband will not let her follow, even if she knows that there must be someone guarding in the dark, Lu Yi is very worried about Wen Liang's situation. Wen Liang returned safely, and Lu Yi felt relieved.
"Lvyi, send someone to pick out the clothes, as well as the powder, daisy and rouge, just choose according to the habit in the capital." Wen Liang inadvertently ordered, which immediately made Luyi jump.
Ever since Wen Liang returned to her original attire, she never touched those clothes again, and Lu Yi thought that her husband had completely abandoned all the previous things.
Wen Liang took off his cloak and hung it on the shelf, "Wang Ran still has doubts about me, it's easier to change into women's clothes." Tongque didn't follow out of Beijing, and only Wen Liang and Tongque knew about the gift of gold leaves, just right, knew The fewer people there, the better.The less people know, the less people will discover the relationship.
Luyi still had doubts in her heart, but she still followed the order, and soon sent people out to buy this item, and according to Wen Liang's instructions, it was not a big purchase, but just to pretend to change the clothes of the season.
Wang Ran was just smiling, and Wen Liang knew about it within a short time of meeting, and Wen Liang even thought that he should know what he had done in his current capacity.Fortunately, there is friction between Wang Ran and Cao Yin, and he will definitely not have other connections with Cao Yin.
Wen Liang stroked the books placed in the corner, adding Cao Yin's name back then was indeed risky.The other officials, even the prefect or the governor, are not as powerful as the Cao family, and they are a big family in the south of the Yangtze River.Moreover, the Cao family has been in charge of Jiangning weaving for three consecutive generations, and now Cao Yin is in charge of the Lianghuai salt department, and even fewer people dare to offend him.
But the depth of the Cao family's participation in it is unprecedented.Cao Yin controls the Cao family, but the Cao family is not limited to Cao Yin alone!
When Wen Liang dug out the secret connection between Cao's family and the former prince, he gave this gift to Yinhu without hesitation, and sent someone back to Beijing to inform Yinzhen of the matter, and immediately blew it up.Now according to the movements in Beijing, no matter how much Cao Yin is favored, he will have to calm down in the past few years.Perhaps these things were not done by Cao Yin, but as long as the name of the Cao family is mentioned, it is Cao Yin's responsibility. Who said that the current head of the Cao family is Cao Yin?
In this operation, there are quite a few officials in the south of the Yangtze River who have repeatedly lost their horses. They are those who are trying to gain fame, and there are people's anger in front of them. The capital's handling is merciless.
Most of the newly appointed officials are innocent people, and there are also new officials who were put down by Kangxi for training, which is better than before.Maybe after they have sunk for several years, they will go back to the old path of their predecessors, but it will take time to know.Among them, there are also a few people who were able to act by Yinzhen, and they were cleverly placed at the key points.Although it is not a conspicuous leisure place, there are more news that can be learned during the turnaround.
This is also the reason why Wen Liang picked up this matter to do it. The kidnapping case is too involved, and the people who know about it are just passing by, so if they live in peace, it will be the best thing.After all these things were superimposed, this atmosphere created a strange scene where the Jiangnan officialdom was fighting internally and externally. If Wen Liang wanted to leverage this Jiangnan, he needed a foothold.
This is just the beginning.
Wen Liang thought inadvertently that maybe even Emperor Kangxi knew that he was in Jiangnan right now, so he didn't know how the old man was feeling now, just don't get into a rage.Even though his mission was so, he also wanted to watch the old man live for a few more years.
Emperor Kangxi was indeed angry.
After court the next morning, he arrested Yinzhen to Qianqing Palace with a blank face, looked at the fourth child and said, "When Wen Liang left Beijing, why did he tell you?" That brat!
Yinzhen's expression was as usual, and he bowed and said, "Mr. only said that he wanted to go back to his hometown and enjoy the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River. My son thought about Mr.'s situation over the years, so he agreed to this matter. Besides, Mr. If the master wants to come and go, the minister will not be able to stop him."
Emperor Kangxi casually threw the memorial in front of Yinzhen, stood up and paced back and forth, "Tour? What's going on in the south of the Yangtze River? Doesn't he know about Wen Liang? Bullshit!" He suddenly stopped and looked at Yinzhen, "Before Wen Liang moves, Do you know about this?"
Yinzhen said frankly, "That's true. The day before the action, sir, he sent someone to come over by water." He really didn't know that Wen Liang wanted to move, but long after he let Wen Liang go out of Beijing and gave him a seal to protect him, I knew this day would come sooner or later.
Wen Liang is an unrestrained horse, if he puts on the bridle forcibly, both sides will suffer in the end.It's like on a cliff pontoon, it's up to you to see who can beat who.
Emperor Kangxi snorted, the day before the action...
It will take seven or eight days to come here by water from the south of the Yangtze River. When the news reaches Yinzhen, the day lily will be cold!
Emperor Kangxi sat down and looked at Yinzhen with an inexplicable expression, as if he wanted to see something different from Yinzhen.Yinzhen leaned forward, and took out a letter from his arms, "This is the letter that Mr. Wang hopes his son will pass on to Lord Long Live."
He didn't hand it to Emperor Kangxi hastily, but just stood calmly at His Highness.After a while, Emperor Kangxi waved his hand, Liang Jiugong went down the steps silently, and took the letter from Yinzhen.
Yinzhen didn't stay longer, knowing that Emperor Kangxi's current thoughts were not on him, so he quit.He originally planned to go to Yonghe Palace to meet De Concubine, but he remembered the little friction that would happen every time he went to see De Concubine during this period, so he paused with a headache and went directly to Elder Brother's office.
After Yinzhen realized that he was not among the elder brothers who left the palace in the first half month, his consciousness was depressed for a long time.
But most of the elder brothers who lived in the elder brother's house had to move out of the elder brother's house after they became adults and married wives, and the old nine and ten had already left.Since the relationship between Yinzhen and Yinxiang has become better, it is also because they will leave the house together in the future.However, Emperor Kangxi was very fond of him, and Yinzhen was not included in the list of going out of the palace, and he still stayed in elder brother's house.
Emperor Kangxi's favor is naturally what the brothers hope for, but there is a difference between leaving the palace and leaving the palace.Yinzhen always felt that something was wrong, and Yinxiang was so angry that he tugged at his ear and told him a lesson. At the same time, he gave him a serious science education about the money needed for living outside, which immediately dispelled most of Yinzhen's sadness and loss.
Life in Elder Brother's Institute is indeed cramped, but the exchange of favors and courtesy is much less, not to mention the cost of three meals a day for living outside is the simplest thing.Yinzhen naturally thought about this, but the one who calculated these things most clearly should be Wanyan, he himself didn't think so much.
Yinxiang pulled him to sit down, "I always feel that you have developed such a brain for nothing."
Yinzhen's abductor stabbed Yinxiang's back pain. This kid has been in the martial arts field for a long time, and his black hands are getting more and more ruthless.Yin Xiang rubbed this place helplessly, and when he was about to say something, he heard a report that Si Baylor was coming.
Yinzhen and Yinxiang stood up, and Yinzhen came in with a wet body, "Fourth brother, why don't you open an umbrella?" Yinxiang frowned, and hurriedly asked the personal servant to fetch the clothes.
Yinzhen patted the raindrops on his shoulder, and stretched out his hand to stop Yinxiang's movement, "It's okay, the clothes don't get wet very easily." Yinzhen stretched out his hand to touch twice, but he didn't really feel the moisture inside, "This cloth is Not bad."
Yinzhen's unintentional words reminded Yinzhen of the Cao family.It can be seen that Huang Ama still has feelings for the handling of the Cao family, especially Cao Yin.When he went to Jiangnan several times, Kangxi chose Cao's family to pick him up. This kind of friendship is rare.At the same time, it also planted the root of the Cao family's high self-esteem, as well as the huge deficit.
Yinzhen speculated about this matter, and revealed it at the right time, which should be a huge blow to the Cao family.
"Fourth brother?" Yinzhen shouted dissatisfiedly, seeing that Yinzhen finally came to his senses, "Will you come here just to stand in front of the two of us?"
Yinzhen glared at him, and they sat down to talk, Yinxiang unknowingly mentioned the matter of Jiangnan, "If Huang Ama hadn't been lenient, I would like to know who that person is?" After all, in the prefect How courageous is it to splash red ink outside the yamen?
Yinzhen nodded, with a more serious expression, "Those people should be killed! It's really abominable!" No matter how much people are admired and loved, human trafficking is the most disgusting act.
Yinzhen tapped the table with his fingertips, looked at his two younger brothers and said casually, "It's Mr.'s handwriting." Before he came in, he asked people to clear away the surrounding palace people.Talking in the palace is easy to hear through the walls, so we have to guard against it.
"Sir, what first... sir!" Yinzhen turned his head and looked at Yinzhen suddenly, with such a strong force, Yinzhen could even hear a clicking sound, presumably he was a little twisted.Yinzhen touched his neck and wailed, "It hurts me to death——"
Yinzhen suppressed the thought of sighing, and summoned Su Peisheng to knead him for a long time before he felt more comfortable, "Fourteen, why can't you settle down?"
Yinzhen clutched his neck, if he didn't feel uncomfortable now, he would shake Yinzhen's shoulders himself, "So what does it have to do with Wenliang?"
Yinzhen patted his forehead, "Call me sir." Then he said, "The situation in Jiangnan is complicated. He went to open up the situation and picked this matter to start with." Yinzhen had never discussed such a deep issue with the two of them before. , Now that Yinzhen speaks, it is self-evident.
A look of joy flashed in Yinxiang's eyes, and he stepped on the boot that Yinzhen kicked over, "Fourth brother, that Huang Ama..."
"Of course I know." Yinzhen Quan pretended not to know the two little tricks underneath, and his playful character has not changed until now.Fortunately, they knew in their hearts what should be said and what should not be said.
"Fourth brother, what is Mr. Wen's identity? It's impossible for Huang Ama to spoil an ordinary person for no reason, right?" Yinzhen's neck finally felt better, and he moved the chair and sat beside Yinzhen, with piercing eyes The fourth brother is bound to give an answer.
Yinzhen turned his head back calmly, "This is Mr.'s own secret. If he hadn't mentioned it to you, I wouldn't have said anything."
Yinzhen turned back again, "But the starling also knows!" On the eve of the accident, he vaguely knew what Yinhu had been busy with, and it was all related to Wen Liang, as well as the matter of Wen Liang's man disguised as a woman.
Yinzhen's expression was slightly cold, "Of course he knows." Not only Yinhu, but Yinzhi should also know about Wen Liang's disguise as a woman, but the only person who knows his identity should be Yinhu.
Yinzhen touched the goose bumps on his arm, and poked Yinzhen with his hand, "Fourth brother, don't be air-conditioned. If you don't say it, don't say it. When Mr. Wen speaks, you don't even know the year of the monkey." He secretly guessed in his heart that what Emperor Kangxi valued so much may have something to do with the royal family.It's just that he can't guess which one it is, it can't be Huang Ama's illegitimate son, right?
etc!He stared at Yinzhen with wide eyes in astonishment, before he could speak, Yinzhen's generous palm pressed his eyes, "No, don't think about it."
"Why does the fourth brother know what I'm thinking? Hey, no?" Yinzhen heaved a sigh of relief, it's okay if he doesn't, this guess is really too violent, he can't bear it a bit, so it's better not to think about it.
Under this fright, Yinzhen found that his neck was completely healed. He stood up and twisted around twice, and he felt much more comfortable.Seeing that Yinzhen seemed to have the intention of leaving, he suddenly remembered something, "Fourth brother, have you gone to Erniang's?"
Yinzhen paused.
Yinzhen understood, he sat down and said helplessly, "fourth brother, I don't know what you are stubborn about. Although the fourth sister-in-law...but it's all over now, if there is no one in the house, it's really not good." It is to keep filial piety Well, it only takes one year for a husband to mourn for his wife, and it has already passed by now.If it weren't for Yinzhen who knew very well that the fourth brother was not a person who loves his sons and daughters, he would have thought that Yinzhen was in love with Ulanara.
Yinzhen looked solemn, "There is no need to say that again."
"Fourth brother." Yinxiang couldn't help but also said, "This matter is not a serious problem now, but if Huang Ama forces the order, what will happen then?"
Emperor Kangxi was not incapable of making things difficult for others, but Yinzhen declined several times this year, which indeed aroused suspicion.If Yinzhen hadn't been acting normally, Kangxi would have started to doubt whether he was in good health...cough.
Yinzhen said, "Don't say any more." He looked calm, unable to see what he was thinking, Yinzhen and Yinxiang had no choice but to give up.According to the fourth brother's temper, if he didn't want to do something, no matter how hard he tried, it would be useless.Stubbornly tight.
……
Qianqing Palace.
Not long after Yinzhen left, Liang Jiugong came in and whispered, "Sibeile went to elder brother's place."
Emperor Kangxi seemed to nod his head, and his eyes fell on the letter that Yinzhen brought just now. Even Yinzhen didn't know what was in it.Just thinking about what the kid might say, Emperor Kangxi felt a headache.This trouble-making ability is really not small.
That's it.
Emperor Kangxi rubbed the center of his brows, took out the gold-rimmed glasses, put them on, and opened the envelope.
After reading it for a long time, Emperor Kangxi was almost laughed at by Wen Liangqi. This kid is really brave, and he still wants to get a promise to do things cheaply from him?The suppression of the previous incident had wasted a lot of Kangxi's efforts, and now seeing Wen Liang's continued actions, Emperor Kangxi felt the urge to send someone to bring him back.
Emperor Kangxi tapped the envelope with a pen, Jiangnan... He thought of the two imperial envoys who died suddenly for no reason, and his eyes were deep and dark, with a hint of malice.
"Liang Jiugong, take the blank imperial decree." Emperor Kangxi recruited the eunuch in charge, and he was in charge of these.
Liang Jiugong hurried to get the object and offered it with both hands.
Emperor Kangxi spread out the blank imperial decree on the table, raised his hand to write a few lines of small characters, and then took out the jade seal ink pad and stamped it on the lower right corner.
"Send this to Jiangnan and hand it over to Wenliang." Emperor Kangxi put it away and threw it into Liang Jiugong's arms casually, "Let's make trouble, I'll see how Wenliang can turn Jiangnan upside down!"
