Those Years In Quest Of Honor Mine

Zhong Wan read the letter again and sighed.

Xuan Jing, Xuan Qiong, Yu She... Now there is probably another Xuan Rui.

The most important thing now is to send someone to check on Xuanrui's situation.

Zhong Wan squeezed the letter, recalling the past few months since entering Beijing...

When did Tang Ming intervene?

He knew that he fell in love with Yu She, knew that he would completely leave Qian'an Palace to help Yu She after he was relieved, and also knew that what he had been thinking about since he entered Beijing was to send the children of King Ning back to Qian'an.

The death of the third prince Xuan Jin was a variable, so he sent Xuan Rui away first, but this variable didn't hurt or itch for Tang Ming, all he wanted was to separate himself from Xuan Rui.

Tang Ming and Lin Si were new acquaintances, and Lin Si almost created a rift between Lin Si and himself after only seeing each other twice. Then how would he drive a wedge between Xuan Rui and Xuan Rui?

Xuan Rui is timid, how can Tang Ming arouse his idea of ​​seizing the heir?

Zhong Wan was secretly startled, if it was a coincidence, forget it, if Tang Ming had been plotting since he entered Beijing, and everything was under his control, then this person is too powerful.

Not only powerful, but also ambitious.Xuan Rui is the nephew of Emperor Chong'an, if he is to succeed, at least Xuan Jing and Xuan Qiong must be killed first, where does he have the confidence?

Such a difficult matter, just in case, Xuan Rui's life will be gone...

Zhong Wan burned the letter in his hand, got up and called a confidant in the mansion, Jia Future, and told him so and so, let him get up and go to Qian'an today.

Zhong Wan did enough acting, and went to Tang Ming by himself the next day, when Tang Ming asked why he didn't send Lin Si to come again, Zhong Wan's expression moved slightly, and she whispered that it was better to be safe by herself.

Ruo Linsi had developed a rift with him, this reaction was the most appropriate.

But Tang Ming's expression remained the same when he heard the words, which naturally made Zhong Wan wonder if he was being overwhelmed.

In any case, if Tang Ming intends to provoke, he is now sure that he has succeeded.

Zhong Wan's bumpy trip was not in vain.

After tossing and tossing all day, Zhong Wan was sore all over after returning home, he took a sip of tea, closed his eyes and carefully recalled every bit of the conversation with Tang Ming.

Tang Ming is very smart, and he is almost impeccable in speaking and doing things, but Zhong Wan has already made sure that he has no doubts about him, and that his senior brother is secretly helping Xuan Rui.

But for a moment Wan just couldn't figure it out, how on earth would he persuade Xuanrui? !

Isn't this forcing the rabbit to eat people?

While Zhong Wan was thinking hard, the outer door was pushed open.

It is Xuan Congxin.

"Are you back?" Xuan Congxin was used to Zhong Wan always running out, she guessed that Zhong Wan was going to meet someone, she was embarrassed to ask more, and pretended not to know, "After you left this morning, someone came to the house to look for you, Xuan Yu sent it for you, so he asked the man's name for fear of delaying your business."

Zhong Wan smiled: "Is the Fourth Prince here again?"

"No." Xuan Cong said in his heart, "It's your old acquaintance, called... oh, Shi Hong."

Shi Hong, the son of Mrs. Shi.

Zhong Wan was surprised.

When King Ning had just left, Zhong Wan and Yu She bought it. One time they ran into Shi Hong when they went out, and Zhong Wan was scolded bloody by his sonorous sentences. Zhong Wan still remembers it clearly.

Xuan Cong thought to himself: "Xuan Yu is so stupid. He let him go when he said he would go, and he didn't keep him for dinner. Don't be your important old acquaintance, right? You're neglecting..."

"My teacher's youngest son, who entered Yushitai two years ago, is suitable for him... Old friends are old friends, but he really can't be called close to me." Zhong Wan laughed, "I've been back for so long, I'm afraid he will beat me up When I came out, I didn't even dare to visit him, it's strange...he hates me so much that he hates me to death, what is he doing here?"

Xuan Congxin shook his head: "I don't know, but don't worry, I didn't really neglect him. After Steward Yan left, the little stewards saw a man in official uniform and came to flatter him as a prime minister. Xuan Yu also rushed out to follow him. He spoke, but he left as soon as he heard that you were not here... you are going to call tomorrow?"

Zhong Wan didn't have the heart to meet that nerd, "Forget it...don't have anything to say to him, it's better to give him something, don't be too generous, it's fine if you like it, I have a bad reputation, don't let people gossip about my teacher's house."

Xuan Cong was displeased: "Why is your reputation so bad?"

"I..." Zhong Wan smiled, "I'm fine, what else did you need yesterday?"

Xuan Cong thought: "No, I'll arrange for people to go to the Shifu."

After Xuan Congxin left Zhong Wan's courtyard, she asked someone to prepare a gift and sent it to the Shifu. She thought that Zhong Wan would stay in Beijing, and the more friends the better, the better. I only wrote Zhong Wan, thinking that people will only accept Zhong Wan's love, and take care of things later.

Do bad things with good intentions.

The next day.

"Hahahaha..." Xuan Qiong shook his head and laughed, "Zhong Wan is really not afraid of death. Shi Hong went on to report Qian'an Zhizhou's behavior | Bribing Qian'an King, and Qian'an King's frequent contacts with local officials. Hong sent a gift, hahaha...isn't this crazy?"

Concubine Yu smiled and lowered her head to sip tea.

Since Xuan Qiong offended Yu She because of Zhong Wan's matter, and was pushed into the water by Yu She, she had bad luck. She was either calculated or reprimanded for many days, and she was so angry that she almost fell ill. After so many days, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. After getting the news, he excitedly entered the palace to look for Concubine Yu.

"I told you earlier, don't be reckless, I have arrangements for my mother." Concubine Yu put down the teacup, a cold light flashed in her eyes, "That Zhong Wan... I heard that he and Yu She are not clear about hooking up, huh , Yu She pushed you into the water last time, most likely because of his attention, I wanted to deal with him a long time ago, but your uncle stopped me."

Xuan Qiong respected and feared Yu Mucheng, hesitated for a while after hearing this, and said in a low voice: "Uncle won't let us fight Yu She, if he knows, will it, will it..."

"No." Concubine Yu said calmly, "It's the unlucky King Qian'an who has too much contact with the officials of the fief, the one who bribed was the local officials, and the one who received the bribes was Zhong Wan, let this matter be exposed It's Shi Hong, what does this have to do with us from beginning to end?"

Xuan Qiong thought for a while, then smiled: "Yes, yes, hey... how did the concubine mother check this matter and save the evidence?"

Concubine Yu laughed but said nothing, unable to hold back Xuan Qiong's urging questions, she had to whisper: "Actually, it depends on your uncle."

Xuan Qiong didn't understand: "My concubine didn't say that uncle would know?"

"He doesn't know." Concubine Yu snorted, "He still doesn't know that his people have already taken refuge in me."

Concubine Yu told Xuan Qiong about Tang Qin, and she whispered: "This old eunuch knows a lot, but he's still very cowardly. If you scare him a little bit, he can do whatever he wants. I said I want to kill Zhong Wan." ...He told me this, and with the help of your uncle, he found witnesses and physical evidence, no, within two days, the matter has already been brought to Yushitai."

Concubine Yu leaned comfortably on the soft pillow, and sneered, "Your uncle is really powerful. I thought he was really a soft persimmon by Princess An, but I didn't expect him to raise so many people secretly, and they are all so good." It's a pity, no matter how powerful he is, he can't always keep an eye on his people, especially those in the palace."

Xuan Qiong was overjoyed, and hurriedly urged Concubine Yu to see Tang Qin. Concubine Yu was not very smart, but she was still a little self-aware, knowing that Xuan Qiong was more restless than herself, and was afraid that he would go wrong if he knew too much about the dirty things of the previous court , frowned and said: "I always see him, what should I do if your uncle finds out? Then he will kill the old eunuch with a bowl of poison, and we will become blind again."

Xuan Qiong had no choice but to listen.

"I'll let you off the hook first." Concubine Yu smiled at her son, "Don't mention anything else, just befriending local officials to give|receive|bribe is enough to take Zhong Wan's skin off."

Xuan Qiong also laughed, "What about King Qian'an?"

Concubine Yu didn't care and said: "Who knows what crimes will be committed, it doesn't matter."

Xuan Qiong thought about it, and said with a smile: "This time Zhong Wan is in prison, but I can go to see him?"

"Don't get sick." Concubine Yu frowned, "What did you see him for?! I've heard that he has a bad reputation. You haven't married yet. Don't get involved with this kind of person. It's really annoying... Wait He was taken into custody, tell the subordinates, and give him some suffering in prison."

Concubine Yu sat upright, frowned and warned: "But you have to wait until after the first session! Don't come up and get bloody, even a blind person can see it."

"Of course I know." Xuan Qiong smiled, "Just wait for him to pass the court once, and any injuries can be passed on to the torturers in front."

"I didn't expect that he would go up to give Shi Hong a gift at this very moment." Concubine Yu couldn't help laughing, "It's really impossible for a god to save him. It will be interesting tomorrow morning."

Xuan Qiong slapped the table happily, "At this time tomorrow, I'll have someone hang him up and beat him!"

The next day.

Zhong Wan sneezed all morning, and Xuan Congxin poured ginger soup down his stomach.

"I'm really not freezing. It's probably because someone spoke ill of me behind my back..." Zhong Wan laughed bitterly, "Who made this ginger soup? There's no sugar at all."

"I made it up." Xuan Congxin frowned, "It's obviously freezing again, you can't go out today! Drink a pot of ginger soup, and you'll be fine for a day."

Zhong Wan couldn't hold it any longer, "If I'm really cold, what are you doing here? What if I catch it? Go, go..."

"I don't get sick once in a few years, I'm afraid of you?" Xuan Congxin said, "Drink! I'm not honest when I'm sick."

The two circled around, there was a lot of noise outside, Zhong Wan's yard was closest to the gate, he got up, "Go back to the backyard, I'll take a look."

Xuan Congxin couldn't show up even if he didn't want to, so he had to hide first.

Outside, a servant stumbled into Zhong Wan's courtyard, got up quickly after falling, shaking his tongue: "Da Da Da..."

Zhong Wan greeted him, "What's the big deal?"

"Outside, there is a military master outside... saying that he wants to arrest the young master." The servant stammered in fright, "Said the young master... committed a crime!"

Zhong Wan frowned slightly: "What did I do?"

The servant said fearfully: "I encourage the prince to have private relationships with fief officials, with unknown intentions, to give|bribe|bribe|bribe, and...and..."

Zhong Wan's face turned pale, he couldn't hear what the servant said behind him.

The mystery that had plagued him for the past few days was finally clear, a white light flashed in Zhong Wan's mind, and the lingering and chaotic fog instantly dissipated.

Why is Tang Ming so confident? Why does Tang Ming seem to have confirmed that he can persuade Xuanrui...

"Private friendship with fief officials".

This alone will allow Emperor Chong'an to punish Xuanrui.

This matter can be big or small, Emperor Chong'an will not kill Xuanrui because of it, but he will definitely be punished.

If it is serious, it will cut the title, if it is light, it will be reprimanded.

I have no rank or nobility, and I want to take the blame for Xuanrui. The best situation is that I will go to jail. By then, Xuanrui can't find me, and he is suspected by Emperor Chong'an.

With Xuanrui's temperament, when Tang Ming helped him when he was in panic, he would listen to and believe everything.

As long as Tang Ming accompanies Xuan Rui through this difficult time, he will be able to gain Xuan Rui's trust and reliance. At that time, Tang Ming only needs to use a little more tricks to convince Xuan Rui that Emperor Chong'an will kill him sooner or later, and then he has to fight back... …

Tang Ming knew his own affairs well, knew that he had no food in Qian'an back then, and it was not surprising that he colluded with local officials and accepted bribes. He said before that he had someone in the palace, so he would disclose this matter to someone who cared It is also very convenient.

If he wants to make a big fuss, this must be given to the person who hates him the most...

Most likely Xuan Qiong.

In a flash, Zhong Wan had already smoothed things out, but it was useless.

too late.

Tang Ming was so thoughtful that he arranged for Shi Hong, who was denied by his relatives, to come to the mansion when he was out of the city.

Because Mrs. Shi passed by Shi Hong, he would probably pay a return visit, and even if it was not good, he would give some earthenware.

Can't wash.

"Master Zhong? Young Master?" Seeing that Zhong Wan was stunned for a moment, the servant hurriedly urged, "What should I do? What should I do?"

Zhong Wan closed her eyes, grabbed the servant's hand, and collected herself, "Don't panic, tell the young lady and the young master that no matter who asks you, you won't know anything, don't plead with anyone, Lin Si...he doesn't know where to go Where is it, when he comes back, explain everything to him, tell him to protect himself first, don't be arrogant, take care of the two little masters for me, and kill Tang Ming for me when he has time."

The words were so ominous that the servant burst into tears, "What should I do, young master, you..."

"I'm going to get some thick clothes... They have some interrogation, I can't be frozen to death first." Zhong Wan knew in her heart that these people would interrogate Xuanrui once she died, "Let them wait..."

The servant cried and nodded: "Master, go quickly, the officials of Dali Temple are urging you!"

Zhong Wan paused, then turned around: "Who?"

The servant wiped away his tears: "The official of Dali Temple! I didn't shout, but there are so many people here, it's scary enough..."

Zhong Wan murmured: "Supervising the arrest and punishment of stolen goods is a matter for the Ministry of Criminal Justice..."

The servant was frightened: "Young Master, what are you talking about?! You are from Dali Temple, what happened to Dali Temple?"

Zhong Wan's raised heart was instantly filled back into his stomach.

Some people are so used to being idle and neglecting their work that everyone has almost forgotten that the current Dali Temple Minister is named Yu and She.
