wealthy queen

Unsurprisingly, on the third day of Shen Liang's donation, seeing their reputation rising day by day, the wives and children of the major families in the imperial city also joined the ranks of giving porridge to the refugees one after another. , and even distributed meat buns. Although they earned a good reputation for them at that time, it is a pity that the good times did not last long. If the starting point is too high, they will be overwhelmed. Continuing, as more and more sponsorships were received, more and more bamboo plaques were distributed every day. The victims who received their relief were all deeply moved by the five people, and the reputation of the Five Living Bodhisattva spread like wildfire.

A few days later, the empress went to the funeral, and the emperor went to the funeral in person. All the relatives and relatives of the emperor were present. From one day onwards, the common people officially removed their filial piety, and the folks could also carry out marriages. The old emperor was worried all day long, for fear that Pei Yuanlie would suddenly propose to marry Shen Liang. Today's Shen Liang, his personal reputation alone is enough to make him He is afraid, let alone those forces behind him.

The strange thing is that Pei Yuanlie doesn't seem to have any intention of marrying, and Shen Liang also sits in the shop every day, and has no intention of marrying. , It is said that for several days in a row, the imperial physician went to ask for pulse.

The Hou's mansion was in a state of unrest, and the more the two brothers Shen Ruiqing quarreled, the more Shen Ruiting insisted on separating the family. The old godly woman who woke up a few days ago was so angry that she almost fainted again. Afterwards, a group of people discussed, Decided to let the old godmother continue to pretend to faint, and wait for a while before talking. I thought everything would be stable for the time being, and Shen Ruijiang and his wife happily prepared their daughter's dowry. Who knew that on this day, a piece of news broke their self-righteousness again. calm.

"What, what?"

The old godly woman lying on the bed and unable to move stared in disbelief. Zhao Lan and Lu Yang were also a little frightened. He was arrested by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and now the people in the mansion are panicked and in chaos, Madam specially asked the little one to come to Madam for help."

This happened so suddenly that they were all caught off guard, and the master didn't make arrangements in advance. Now the University Scholars' Mansion is surrounded by people from the Criminal Department, and there is no man in charge. The front and back yards are all in chaos.

"This……"

How can it be?

Once again, I made sure that I didn't hear wrongly, and the other party didn't say wrongly. The old godly woman still couldn't believe it. The University Scholars' Mansion was his natal family, and now her younger brother is in charge of the house. Several nephews are very promising. He is also extremely careful in doing things, how could he be caught by someone?Now that the criminal department is directly arresting people without saying a word, I am afraid that they have enough evidence. Even if they don't, how many people who are officials can stand the investigation?

"Mother……"

Zhao Lan and Lu Yang both looked at him. The old godmother lost her mind for a while. Although he is awake now, he is completely paralyzed from the neck down, unconscious, his mouth and eyes are crooked, and he can't even shut his saliva. He wears a bib around his neck, speaks indistinctly, and often jumps out with one or two words. Given his current situation, it is definitely unrealistic to go back to his natal family. If he is looking for Shen Ruiting, she will pretend to be dizzy. It will be exposed, and when the time comes... Now she is not sure whether she can still stabilize Shen Ruiting, and she doesn't dare to take risks easily.

"Madam, people from the Zhao and Lu residences are here."

Just when they were at a loss, Chunxiang came to report with lowered eyebrows. Zhao Lan and Lu Yang looked at each other, and an ominous premonition hit their hearts instantly. Could it be...

"Let them in quickly."

They didn't dare to think about it, they gave orders excitedly in unison, after a while, two people dressed as butlers walked in, and they said the same words as the servants of the University Scholars' Mansion as soon as they opened their mouths.

"Impossible, it's impossible..."

Both Zhao Lan and Lu Yang fell on the chairs, murmuring in disbelief, her mother's family has been fine all along, how could she be investigated just because she said she was investigated?

"Small, little bastard..."

The old godly woman who was paralyzed on the couch suddenly uttered a few words, Zhao Lan suddenly came back to his senses, and said with dark eyes: "Yes, it must be Shen Liang, he framed my natal family."

Even if Shen Liang didn't have that ability, wouldn't there be King Qingping behind him?As long as he asks King Qingping for help, can King Qingping refuse to agree?

"No, I have to go back to my mother's house to have a look."

Lu Yang stood up and wanted to run outside, Zhao Lan also followed closely after seeing this, but...

"The old lady is not well, Master Hou has come to the Lotus Fragrance Garden."

"what?"

Hearing this, the people in the room were in a mess immediately. After being busy for a long time, the old lady pretended to be unconscious again, and the servants of the three residences hid behind the screen, while Zhao Lan and Lu Yang sat by the bed and stood behind her. Pretending to be taking care of the old godmother.

"Master Hou."

Accompanied by the greetings from the servants, Shen Ruiting stepped in. At the first moment, he felt that something was wrong in the room, but after a closer look, it seemed that there was no difference. Shen Ruiting didn't get entangled, and walked towards the bed: "Mother hasn't seen you yet. good?"

"Didn't uncle see it? Why are you asking us?"

Zhao Lan and Lu Yang didn't look at him at all. Taking the opportunity to speak, Zhao Lan leaned over and wiped the cold sweat from the forehead of the old godmother naturally. Staring at him, the deliberately pretended indifference did not arouse Shen Ruiting's suspicion, but only slightly displeased him. They were the ones who did the wrong thing, so why would they dare to look extremely wronged?

Thinking of this, Shen Ruiting's face darkened: "This Marquis is here to tell you that the Liu House, the Zhao House, and the Lu House were reported for corruption and bribery at the same time. Furious, after convening the cabinet for discussion, it has been sent to the Ministry of Punishment to demand severe punishment, the Marquis has inquired, and the evidence submitted by the supervisory censor is very sufficient, basically it is just arresting people according to the rules, you can do it yourself."

After finishing speaking, Shen Ruiting walked away without any intention of helping. They treated his son like this, and they looked like they had been greatly wronged. He had already taken advantage of them by not playing tricks behind his back.

"Beast, beast..."

After he left, the old godly woman stared in the direction of the door and spit out two words, her eyes were as vicious as if they had been poisoned.

"I'm going back to Lu's house first."

At such a time, how could Lu Yang have the mood to share the same hatred with her, and left in a hurry after leaving a word. Zhao Lan thought about it and followed closely. Support, how will they gain a foothold in the future?I'm afraid that the first person who doesn't want to see them is her husband.

"Quick, go back to Lu's house."

The servants quickly got ready, and Lu Yang hurriedly climbed into the carriage with two servant girls, while Zhao Lan also got into another carriage, and the two carriages drove away from the Hou Mansion one after the other.

"Bump..."

"Ah ah ah ah..."

Just when they were about to turn out of the official residence area and enter the commotion, two loud noises came, accompanied by the shock of the carriage, and the two corpses were thrown into their carriage respectively. The ragged clothes and Zhao Lan, Lu Yang and the maids all screamed in fright at the dense sores that were still bleeding pus on the dark skin, rolled their eyes and passed out.

This matter quickly alarmed Shen Ruiting, because the incident occurred near the downtown area, their screams attracted the attention of many people, someone reported it to the government, Jing Zhaoyin personally brought people to check, and asked them to take the body away and then Went to the Hou Mansion to meet Shen Ruiting in person, Zhao Lan and Lu Yang fainted from fright, and couldn't ask any questions for the time being, but the two of them had been officials for many years, and they more or less realized that they had nothing to do with the two lepers who were thrown into the carriage. There must be some kind of connection between the sick beggar, otherwise why the corpse was not thrown into someone else's carriage, but why was it thrown into their carriage?

After waking up, Zhao Lan and Lu Yang were greatly frightened, their expressions were in a trance, and they kept muttering in a daze. It was still impossible to ask anything, but it was not known whether it was someone deliberately guiding them, or the Jingzhao Mansion's handling of the case was efficient. Improvement, before dark, Jing Zhaoyin sent someone to send a message to Shen Ruiting, and found out the identities of the two deceased, the beggars in the refugee area, suffering from leprosy, these are not surprising, the strange thing is that they It suddenly disappeared 20 days ago. Before disappearing, someone had seen the carriage of Tanglin Houfu, and someone said that they saw two similar people when they went to Xiangguo Temple two days later. It happened that people from Tanglinghoufu went to Xiangguo that day. Combined with the fact that the old godmother plotted against Shen Liang to destroy his innocence, the matter is quite clear, but Jingzhao Mansion has no evidence to prove that everything is Shen Liang's revenge, and the two beggars died of natural causes , It wasn't human-made killing, and Shen Liang had been sitting in Jiulipu for a consultation at that time. Jingzhao Mansion felt that it was pointless to investigate again. At most, it would dig out more darkness in the backyard of Donglinghou Mansion, so it could only close the case here.

"bump!"

Shen Ruiting slammed his fist hard on the desk, even Jing Zhaoyin guessed the truth, how could he not?They are so cruel, where did Xiao Wu provoke them?They were going to insult him with two such filthy beggars.

"Master Hou..."

Chen Xiang, who was on the sidelines, looked at him helplessly. What those people did was really disgusting.

"Xiangzi, how bitter do you think that child is?"

I don't know how long it took, Shen Ruiting choked up and said, his tearful eyes couldn't help looking at the portrait in the room again. After the strange death of Guichen Lao Daoist, he was almost sure that there was something wrong with the evil star's misfortune. Years of estrangement made it impossible for him to get close to his son immediately. These days, he gradually recalled the pity and love he had for his son before he was said to be a curse of evil stars. The second son is still a twin like his beloved wife, and looks very similar. He is the treasure left by his beloved wife, but how has he treated him these years?

Now knowing that the family he had been protecting had hurt him so much, Shen Ruiting felt that his heart was going to die of pain.

"Master Hou..."

Seeing this, Chen Xiang sighed slightly: "Master Hou, you should clear Fifth Young Master's name, it's not too late."

As long as you have the heart to repent, it will never be too late. I am afraid that he will do nothing but hide and repent alone.

"I……"

Turning to face him, Shen Ruiting opened his mouth, but suddenly his eyes narrowed again, and he clenched his fists and said, "Let your Ling'er prepare the carriage, I'm going to Wangyue City immediately."

He couldn't wait for a moment, he had to see Master Rui'an right away, and hear him tell him with his own ears that his youngest son was not a child of evil!Although he was probably the one who suffered the most at that time, but now he doesn't care so much, Xiangzi is right, he has to return Xiao Wu's innocence.

"Yes."

As soon as Chen Xiang was happy, he immediately turned around and left. Shen Ruiting turned around and walked to the portrait of his beloved wife, raising his hand to paint the smiling face of the portrait: "Ze Qian, if I'm really wrong, you and Liang Liang will still forgive me." ?"

The only response to him was the desertedness of the room.
