Heshen is a strict wife
Chapter 70 Impeachment
Chen Hongmou's participation was no small matter.
The Han Shangshu among the six books is also a first-rank official. How can I say that this Chen Hongmou is also a high-ranking official. Now that his former subordinates have uncovered his dark history, I really don't know what Chen Hongmou thinks.
When Feng Shuangzhi heard what He Shen said about the morning court today, he almost bent over laughing.
"You were not present. Everyone knew that Chen Hongmou looked down on Wang Jie at the beginning. He used Wang Jie as a sword, but he never thought that this sword was a person. As long as he is a person, he will see through it sooner or later... Chen Hongmou is himself. I did it..." He Shen's tone was extremely contemptuous, obviously gloating, he said, "When Wang Jie clearly said that he was going to participate in Chen Hongmou, Long Live Lord was drinking tea with a bad face, and almost took a sip of tea Squirted out..."
At that time, there was no accident in the harem, so Qianlong was in a good mood at that time. How could he think that Wang Jie would join his old boss, and he thought Wang Jie was joking, and only asked him to clean up, because he had a fever Then go back to take medicine and come back again.But he didn't want to, this Wang Jie was a stubborn donkey, and before he could speak, Qian Feng came out to join Chen Hongmou.
Poor Chen Hongmou, a man in his seventies and eighties, still stood in the court hall, and was read by his two juniors, and immediately became angry, but he didn't dare to say anything in front of the emperor.
Qian Feng and Wang Jie are different in terms of participation. Wang Jie said that Chen Hongmou had personally intervened in the salt administration, from which he took bribes and made huge profits. However, Qian Feng said that the Jiangnan officials recommended by Chen Hongmou are now corrupt and perverting the law. .
Wang Jie was originally sharp-tongued than a knife and pen official, and he was aggressive when he spoke in the court. Chen Hongmou was so angry that he lost his composure and yelled at him after he came down from the court, saying that he was a white sheep and wolf for avenging his personal revenge and repaying his kindness. It will help Wang Jie to tide over the difficulties after seeing the eyes.Facing all kinds of insults from Chen Hongmou, Wang Jie was unmoved, and only said "the one who cleans himself cleans himself". If Chen Hongmou had no ghosts, how could he be caught by him today?
It wasn't that Chen Hongmou was blind, it was Wang Jie who was blind. At that time, he didn't understand the rules of the officialdom, so he couldn't see through Chen Hongmou's various schemes.
As for Qian Feng, no matter what, he was also the official censor, and he also relied on his mouth to make a living. He spoke mercilessly and pressed every step of the way, only to refute Chen Hongmou who wanted to defend himself, and was speechless.
Qian Feng and Wang Jie seemed to have made an appointment a long time ago. On the same day, they attacked from both sides. Although Qianlong only said to investigate, the investigation could find out the problem.
Ah Gui was away, so it was inconvenient to deal with the affairs of the palace, so Yong Gui came to investigate the matter, Chen Hongmou did not deal with it for the time being, but still kept his original official position.Qianlong seemed to trust Chen Hongmou, so he didn't believe that Chen Hongmou would do such a thing.
But aside from Qian Feng, Qianlong admired Wang Jie very much. Today, Wang Jie's remarks were as sharp as a sword. He spread the matter of Chen Hongmou and talked about the fate of the country and the fate of the Qing Dynasty. Qianlong had to pay attention to it.
"I didn't know that there were people with such eloquence in the court. Madam, what would you say if I wanted to win him over?" He Shen couldn't help asking, he actually knew the relationship between Wang Jie and Feng Shuangzhi. There is a certain connection between them, but I also guessed that the connection was caused by Chen Xijia, so I didn't care much.
After hearing He Shen's lazy question, Feng Shuangzhi smiled, but said, "If you're joking, that's fine. If you really go to win him over, you will be the next one to be recruited."
Although He Shen has strong ability to handle affairs, he is not a clean official, not to mention that he has a lot of corruption, at least he can't say that he has a clean sleeve.Without the protection of the emperor, a truly clean-sleeved official would have difficulty moving an inch in this court.Since He Shen wants to be a capable minister, he is doomed not to be a truly upright official.
If Wang Jie was wooed, his first feeling would be disgust.
It's better for He Shen not to touch Wang Jie's bad luck - although Wang Jie certainly doesn't like He Shen very much.
Feng Shuangzhi pressed her fingers on her temples, and put her pointy little finger on her cheeks, showing a graceful and subtle charm. She didn't listen to He Shen's reply, so she raised her drooping eyes and looked at He Shen. Looking at himself, he didn't evade and said, "Aren't you going to contribute to Chen Hongmou's matter?"
"Where do I add bricks and tiles, and for whom do I add bricks and tiles?" He Shen was very busy.
"If Lian Shuangcheng said that he has no cooperation with you, I won't believe it." Feng Shuangzhi thought of the box of Mingqian tea left by Lian Shuangcheng, and the letter he handed to He Shen alone. He also said, "The leader of the Cao Gang is also feared by the imperial court. The Cao Gang is powerful, and the grain is related to the Qing Dynasty's national fortune. All ships going to and from the Cao Gang pass through the Cao Gang Pass. It is said that even Shuangcheng can't collect it from Chen Hongmou's crime." Evidence for my son is absolutely impossible."
He Shen suddenly turned over and lay down on the bed, put his hands behind his head, and frowned in thought.
Feng Shuangzhi pinched him, "You are so annoying, what are you thinking?"
"I'm thinking... I found out a Chen Hongmou, what else can it do..." Cooperating with Lian Shuangcheng also requires a price, and He Shen needs to calculate clearly whether the price he paid can get a greater return or a loss. Business He Shen doesn't like to do it.He is a shrewd man, and he has to figure out every detail.
This person's broken habits are really like that philistine businessman, he will only be willing to make a move if he has exhausted his plans.
Sometimes Feng Shuangzhi likes to give it a go, and it complements He Shen.
She didn't speak, and let He Shen think about it. Seeing that there seemed to be a look of understanding in his eyes, she asked, "How is the shopkeeper He thinking?"
"Take down a Chen Hongmou, at least half of the Jiangnan officialdom can be controlled, and even the account books are not needed..." He Shen said to himself, and then said, "Now the forces in the court are in a delicate balance. With Fukang'an as the leader, the new ones are Fu Chang'an, Wang Jie, Qian Feng... Fukang'an has always been more popular than me, but he is easy to get shot at the cusp of the storm, so he is my shield. Before everyone mentions me and Shen We must first think of a Fukang'an who is more popular than me. Therefore, the existence of Fukang'an is both a bad thing and a good thing for me who is fledgling."
"Fu Chang'an has made good friends with you. He has long been on your side. As far as you are concerned, his existence is good and not bad." Feng Shuangzhi continued.
"Yes. But Qian Feng is a disaster. This Wang Jie doesn't know whether he is an enemy or a friend, but I see that the chance of becoming a friend is too small—" He Shen smiled with a bit of evil spirit, he curled his lips, But he said, "This is the upstarts. In the imperial court, Agui, Yonggui, Liu Yong and other veteran officials are the ones who really matter. This time, the matter was given to Yonggui, but one is that Yonggui is old, and the other is a big deal. The son has never been left to one person to finish the matter-the emperor must find another person to handle this matter. Fu Kang'an's wife is Chen Hongmou's granddaughter. In order to avoid suspicion, Fu Kang'an cannot participate. As the impeachment of Chen Hongmou, Wang Jie and Qian Feng may have a share, but they are the ones who impeached Chen Hongmou after all, and they have a prejudice against him, so they have to find another person, whether this person is Fu Changan or me, it doesn't matter at all."
Not that it doesn't matter at all, in fact there is no difference at all.
When the matter fell on Fu Chang'an's head, it also fell on He Shen's head. Fu Chang'an and He Shen got mixed up when they were guards in front of the imperial court.Because of all kinds of rumors about Fukang'an's life experience, Fu Changan is not very close to Fukang'an. Even if Fukang'an has the meaning of being an elder brother, it is hard to put down his face and say it. He can only look at Fu Changan and He Shen. Getting closer and closer.
Now that He Shen had calculated everything, he laughed and said, "I'm going to Jiangnan to make meritorious service for my husband."
Once the stakes are considered, He Shen can rest easy, so he worked hard for what Feng Shuangzhi said the day before yesterday that he wanted a daughter.
On the second day of court, the situation was exactly as Heshen had expected. Qianlong ordered Yonggui, Wang Jie, and Heshen to go to the south of the Yangtze River to thoroughly investigate Chen Hongmou's case.
He Shen received an errand here, but he wanted to leave Beijing temporarily, so he went back to his residence to make preparations, and passed the news to Feng Shuangzhi by the way.
A business trip is a common thing, Feng Shuangzhi didn't care much about it, she was just worried about the safety of the trip to the south of the Yangtze River, she said: "In the early years, Fukang'an cooperated with the Cao Gang, I am afraid that the influence in the south of the Yangtze River is not weak. Don't overdo it, it will hurt your life."
In fact, He Shen knew all this, and Feng Shuangzhi also knew that he knew it, but he was still worried, fearing that the matter would really make a big fuss, and those individuals would jump over the wall in a hurry, and didn't know what to do.She was worried about Heshen, but Heshen couldn't bear to make her worry any more, so she said: "The imperial envoy has your godfather Yonggui, and the investigation has Wang Jie, a stubborn donkey. come back."
Feng Shuangzhi burst out laughing, sighed, and knew that this was nothing to worry about, so he just said: "The real ability is to be able to make peace with the mud."
As long as Zhichen is "straight", he will stand aside in all his calculations, but a person like He Shen has to weigh all parties, which can be described as a laborious effort.
He Shen pulled her to sit down and have lunch together, saying that the old man Chen Hongmou was probably scared out of his wits now.
Feng Shuangzhi immediately thought of Chen Xijia. Yonggui and Heshen naturally had nothing to do with Chen Xijia, but Wang Jie, the main force in the investigation, was her old friend. There are some things that Chen Xijia can still do.
The facts were exactly as Feng Shuangzhi expected.
Now, Fukang'an is still living in Chunhe Garden. After Chen Xijia heard the news in the backyard, she was really uneasy, and asked the little Bazi who came to tell her the news-Where is the little Bazi? When Fukang'an was in the palace, the emperor gave Fukang'an a little eunuch who had followed Fukang'an for many years.
Just now when Fukangan came down to the court, he asked him to tell his wife about it, as long as she knew it, and don't move around.
At that time, Xiao Bazi had a bitter face, but he didn't dare to disobey his master's words, so he could only bite the bullet.He knew that this errand was not easy, and he always felt that his wife was not a good person to deal with, and this time he saw it.
After hearing the news of Chen Hongmou's impeachment, Chen Xijia couldn't sit still immediately, and stood up from the brocade bench, "You said my grandfather was impeached by Wang Jie and Qian Feng?!"
Little Bazi groaned in his heart, he had already expected such a situation to happen, so at this moment, he could only answer tremblingly and falteringly: "Yes."
Chen Xijia almost lost her footing, but the maid beside her helped her so that she managed not to fall down.
"I...I'm going to see Grandpa..."
Little Bazi thought of Fukang'an's words, and knew that now Fukang'an never wanted to see Chen Xijia, who likes a troublesome old man?Nothing happened in the past, but everyone was carrying it around. Now it is Chen Hongmou who offended someone, offending that stubborn donkey and prickly head. How can Wang Jie be so easy to provoke?Now it's too late for the master to get the people under his command, so how can he care about Chen Hongmou?
Thinking about it, Xiao Bazi quickly went to stop him: "Ma'am, Master said no—"
Chen Xijia had already stepped forward, but she didn't expect this dog slave to stop her in front of her. Now the matter is urgent, and the imperial envoy may leave tomorrow. She must go to Fu Kang'an to explain this matter clearly, for her own sake. Grandfather begged for mercy, at least he was Fukang'an's father-in-law, so he should help him no matter what.
She was thinking very well, if it was normal, it would be fine, but Fukang'an is deeply involved with the Jiangnan officialdom, and now Chen Hongmou didn't know how to pull out the carrots and bring out the mud, just like a bunch of gourds How much is pulled out, the most urgent thing is to clear up the relationship between oneself and the other side, to protect yourself before you can protect others.
This time, the incident happened suddenly. Fukang'an hadn't received any news at all before, and now he is so busy that he doesn't want to see anyone. Isn't Chen Xijia going to cause trouble?
So even though he knew that his wife might hate him because of this, and was thinking about his master's order, Xiao Bazi still stopped him.
Unfortunately, he didn't finish his sentence, and Chen Xijia slapped him in exchange.
Now Chen Xijia is in a hurry, her grandfather's matter is bigger than the sky, if Chen Hongmou really falls, she will lose her biggest backer, and she will not be able to gain a foothold in this Fu Heng Mansion.So seeing Xiao Bazi standing in front of her, Chen Xijia was furious. She just felt that this slave was too courageous and cunning. He didn't care who he was, so he slapped him; "Am I the master or you?" Is it the master? The slave doesn't look like a slave, get out of the way, and you can intervene in the affairs of the masters?!"
Her attack was very vicious, just because she was so angry that she had already lost her sense of proportion and severity, only half of Xiao Bazi's face was swollen and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Anyway, Xiao Bazi has been serving Fukang'an for so long, and the slaves who came out of the palace know a lot. Fukang'an usually uses him as his confidant, but now it's just a report, and he was actually taken by the woman. The master punished him like this, but the little Bazi was not convinced, he looked submissive on the face, stepped aside without saying a word, and kept sneering in his heart.
Anyone who dares to touch the third master Fu's brow now will only have a dead end. The wife is not someone who is on the top of my heart. The only reason I respect her is because the two are husband and wife. The rules and face are still to be given, but the master She never had half of her sincerity.For a woman like this, it would be fine if she behaved with her tail between her legs, but she just didn't know how to avoid suspicion, and she flirted with Wang Jie, so I had a suspicion in my heart.Now the Lord has made it clear that he won't help Chen Hongmou, at least he can't do anything now, and the wife wants to go in to make trouble—at least the little Bazi is Fukang's confidant, she hits whenever she says, really doesn't understand the rules.
It's no wonder that those who come out of the Jiangnan portal don't hang out at the emperor's feet, and their eyelids are always a little shallow.
The closest slave to the master has always been respected by the mistresses. Take Feng Shuangzhi and He Shen as an example, Liu Quan'er in the middle is He Shen's slave. After the master Feng Shuangzhi, he never treated him badly. He even had many things to ask Liu Quan'er, and assigned all the affairs outside the house to Liu Quan'er. Liu Quan'er also respected the mistress. Only then can I be at peace.
Chen Xijia obviously didn't understand this truth.
Liu Quan'er is a domestic slave, but in fact he is not as good as Xiaobazi.Little Bazi came out of the palace anyway, although he didn't say he was superior to others, but after all, he had the name of coming out of the palace, and Fu Kang'an had to speak up for punishment. The only person in the entire Fu Heng Mansion who could deal with Xiaobazi was Fukang Ann, even Fu Heng doesn't have the qualifications. After all, Little Bazi is famous in the palace, and only people in the palace can punish him except his master.
Now Chen Xijia gave him a slap without saying a word, but the little Bazi hated him in his heart, and didn't bother to care whether Chen Xijia committed suicide by himself, and only looked at her back after seeing her rushing towards Fukang'an's study "Bah" sounded.
"What are you! Shameless stinky 1□□!"
What Xiaobazi thought was that half a point would not be bad.
Chen Xijia pushed open the door of Fukang'an's study room without thinking, but he didn't think that Fukang'an was talking to his counselor about keeping some people from Jiangnan: "Zheng Hongqu is——"
The voice suddenly stopped, and Fukang'an's cold eyes fell on Chen Xijia, and his tone was stiff: "Why are you here?"
As soon as Chen Xijia opened the door, she realized that she had forgotten to knock on the door, and saw several counselors sitting in the room, but it was too late to dodge, and she forgot to speak for a while.
It's just that the counselors were smart after all, so they bowed to Fu Kang'an and left the study one after another, leaving only Chen Xijia and Fu Kang'an.
Knowing that he was angry, Fukang'an suppressed his breath and asked again: "I'm discussing something important, what are you doing here?"
Didn't Xiaobazi tell her what to do?Where did Xiaobazi go?
Fukang'an took a cup of clear fire tea on the table, took a sip, suppressed the fire, and looked at Chen Xijia.
Chen Xijia came in and said, "I heard about my grandfather, so Wang Jie and Qian Feng impeached my grandfather... My grandfather has always been clean and honest, he would never do such a thing, it must be Wang Jie Publicly avenging private revenge, collaborating with Qian Feng, and wanting to put my grandfather to death! Lord, you save him, you have such a wide network in central Beijing and Jiangnan, there must be a way—"
Her voice was trembling with fear at the back, even a little sharp.
Ever since Qian Feng and Wang Jie impeached Chen Hongmou yesterday, Fukang'an has been busy clearing things up in Jiangnan. He didn't sleep long last night. Now his temples are throbbing and the pain is severe. Chen Xijia This scream seemed to make his whole brain explode, Fu Kang'an suddenly raised his voice, and told her to shut up: "Before the matter came out, I was crying and crying, I didn't know that your grandfather was dead It’s up to you! You know if he’s clean or not. If you think he’s clean, let Wang Jie and the other three investigate and he’ll be fine. Why are you begging me?!”
Fu Kang'an, who suddenly became angry, obviously frightened Chen Xijia. She trembled, her face turned pale, and tears rolled down her face, "Master, are you going to ignore my grandfather?"
When you can't take care of yourself, how can you find time to save others?
Fu Kang'an sneered, "If you marry into the Fucha family, you are no longer a member of the Chen family. I haven't pulled out all the chess pieces in the south of the Yangtze River. You don't care about me, but you worry about your grandfather, so good. "
The voice finally regained its calm, but it only made Chen Xijia feel colder.
Chen Xijia is not a stupid person. Now that she heard what Fukang'an said, she knew what mistake she had just made. She wanted to explain, but she opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only say something dry. : "The concubine is just too worried..."
Too worried?Fu Kang'an sneered, but he was exhausted physically and mentally. He still thought that the matter was not easy, and he didn't really want to see Chen Xijia, so he said, "Let's go."
"Concubine—"
She also tried to argue with her pale words, but Fukan'an threw the teacup in her hand directly towards her, brushed her cheek and passed, Fukan'an said coldly: "Fuck off!" .”
She felt that she had been hurt, and served Fukang'an wholeheartedly, but now she even refused to agree to plead for her grandfather. Ahi treated herself like this, she was really wrong, she wanted a good relationship, but she didn't want to treat herself circle in!
Turning around and throwing it away, Chen Xijia cried very sadly, stumbled all the way, and thought of the little things about getting along with Wang Jie in the past, compared with Fukang'an, but felt that everything was good, why was she so stupid, so Silly!
Chen Xijia fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
Xiao Bazi was just about to go back to the study, saw this scene from a distance, snorted, touched his face, turned around and took a long way, then avoided Chen Xijia, and went to Fukang'an's study from the other side .
Before entering the door, he saw the broken teacup by the door, several counselors were waiting outside, Xiao Bazi didn't think it was strange at all, it must be that the master lost his temper.
He knocked on the door frame and said respectfully, "Master, the slave is back."
As soon as he raised his eyes, Fukang'an saw the scar on Xiao Bazi's face, and immediately frowned, "How did it happen?"
The little Bazi faltered and said nothing, so Fukang'an understood, and after a long time he said: "Be patient first, let someone come in."
Xiao Bazi knew that he was referring to the counselors outside, so he turned around and went out to ask some gentlemen to come in, and he himself followed and closed the door.
Fu Kang'an said: "The older Chen Hongmou is, the more confused he is, and he has been caught for corruption."
One of the scribes, wearing an apricot shirt and holding a folding fan, said: "Now we have to abandon our pawns to save the car, so Chen Hongmou can't keep it."
After saying this, the counselor made a cross-cutting gesture with one palm towards Fukang'an, which meant that Chen Hongmou had been eliminated.
Fukang'an crossed his hands and ten fingers together, thinking of Chen Xijia just now, after thinking about it for a long time, he still said: "After all, he is my grandfather-in-law, so I will find a way to say hello to the Lianghuai side, destroy all the books, and take him out if he can." .”
The counselors also knew the identity of Chen Hongmou, and the third wife of Fu came just now, probably to plead for mercy, but now that Fu Kang'an had made a decision, they couldn't say anything.
Just going out, the counselor in the apricot-yellow shirt was so anxious that he knocked his head with the fan in his hand, "Chen Hongmou, an old man, can't be kept, he is a fall at the first sight, Yonggui, Wang Jie and Na Heshen, if they really follow him If something comes out of your mouth, then things will explode."
"Anyway, it's the grandfather-in-law of the third master, so don't be too ruthless. If the husband and wife don't get along later, you will be charged with a lot of crimes." Another counselor advised him.
The counselor known as Qiu Shan sneered: "Look, this Chen Hongmou is definitely going to do something bad!"
Everyone persuaded him that he had no choice but to leave it alone, and went to work independently without mentioning it.
Qiushan's full name is Luo Qiushan, and he can be regarded as a talented man with a lot of strategy. During Qianlong's fourth southern tour, he met Fukang'an in a flower boat. They watched the oiran dance together. What he saw was a glamorous thing. But they were all family and country strategies, and they talked until midnight, and felt that they were in harmony, so this Luo Qiushan became Fu Kang'an's counselor.
He also came from Lianghuai back then, he used to be a Yangzhou scholar, it's not that he has never heard of Wang Jie's name, but now it's really difficult for this stubborn master to fight against his old boss.I don't know how this Wang Jie got the hang of it, and he suddenly became difficult to deal with.
Luo Qiushan only felt annoyed. Thinking of that bad thing, Mrs. Fu San felt that this woman was short-sighted, and hated Fu Kang'an for not being able to marry a good wife.This woman had a reputation as a lady in Jiangning back then, but Luo Qiushan never liked it, and now she feels that Chen Xijia is a drag...
He was extremely worried, so he went up to Liuzuilou to drink, he didn't want to be upstairs, so he saw a small blue sedan chair coming out of the small gate of Fu Heng's mansion, looking at the maid walking beside the sedan chair, she looked quite familiar, looking carefully Thinking about it, isn't this the person next to Mrs. Fu San?
At that moment, Luo Qiushan felt that something was different, he frowned and thought for a while, then threw a couple of pieces of silver, put down the wine glass, went downstairs and followed the sedan chair from a distance, only to see that the sedan chair had gone to Wang Jie house.
Luo Qiushan raised his eyebrows, thinking that it's no wonder that this woman committed suicide by herself, so when she turned around, Luo Qiushan directly asked someone to wait for Fu Heng who had to pass by on the capital road every day.
Chen Xijia paid homage to Wang Jie's mansion alone, and now Wang Jie lives alone, although the emperor wanted to grant him a marriage, but Wang Jie refused in every possible way, and now he wanted to go to Beijing for business, so he put it aside.
The mansion is very small, there is only one old slave and a woman. Wang Jie takes care of himself in daily life. The woman and the old slave only take care of the chores in the mansion, and they are never allowed to enter Wang Jie's study.
This time Wang Jie knew that the matter of investigating Chen Hongmou must be dangerous, so after thinking about it, he hid the account book, showed it to the woman, and said: "If I can't come back this time, you can take this account book." Mrs. He, who gave it to He Mansion, said that I, Wang Jie, left it for her, and I only hope that she will not give it to He Shen and use it for treachery."
The mother-in-law is nothing to do, and she lives in a muddle on weekdays. The only good thing is sincerity. Wang Jie can do whatever he says. Now that he has said that he will hand it over to Mrs. He when he comes back, she will not give it to others.Hearing what Wang Jie said was so dangerous, the woman thought that something serious was about to happen, and was about to ask more questions, when she heard a knock on the door, "I'll go and have a look."
Wang Jie was packing his things, so he only responded, thinking about who was coming, and when he didn't want to raise his eyes, Mrs. Zhang had already brought Chen Xijia in.Immediately Wang Jie was not happy: "Mrs. Zhang, why are you bringing everyone into the mansion?"
It was just now that Chen Xijia directly stuffed Granny Zhang with a bag of silver to scare people away, and made Granny Zhang, who was knocked unconscious by the pie, bring her in.Now Chen Xijia couldn't care less about her reputation. She believed that Fukang'an had a bad heart for her, and she had already concluded that the other party would not save her grandfather, so now she could only ask Wang Jie's door.
"You don't need to talk about my mother-in-law, I insisted on coming in." Chen Xijia winked, and the maid she brought dragged her out, and then she said to Wang Jie who stood there silently, "You impeach my grandfather?" , what is the intention?"
Wang Jie sneered, "What intentions can I have? If he dares to be greedy, I dare to impeach him!"
Wang Jie was born with tough bones, he was not afraid of the sky, he was not afraid of the earth, he walked upright, and even thunder could not hit him, he had a clear conscience, and he spoke with awe-inspiring righteousness.
Now Wang Jie is not what he used to be, and he already has the demeanor of a generation of famous ministers, but his words are hidden, facing the current Chen Xijia, his former sweetheart, this "sweetheart" can't be better.
Chen Xijia couldn't stop crying when she thought of the grievances she suffered in Chunhe Garden. She thought that Wang Jie would soften his heart when she cried, and she didn't want Wang Jie to stand there and not move.
Chen Xijia cried and said: "My grandfather is already over seventy years old, so you let him live the rest of his life well, are you still unwilling to let him go? At least he protected you and promoted you back then. Although you and I failed at the beginning, But since you are interested in me, why are you targeting my grandfather? He is old and his health is not good... Wang Jie, just because of our past friendship, can't you let him go?"
Wang Jie didn't know what to say anymore, he said every word clearly: "Miss Fu San, you also said that the love is from the past. Today, I, Wang Jie, as an official of the court, will never tolerate those who break the law. Mr. Chen Hongmou If he did it, he did it, and if he didn't do it, he didn't do it. Mrs. Fu San thinks that I, Wang Jie, are avenging private revenge, so that means she believes Mr. Chen is innocent, so why bother to beg Wang Jie?"
This rhetoric turned out to be the same as what Fukang'an said at the time.
Chen Xijia didn't expect Wang Jie to be so ruthless, she suddenly felt that she seemed to miss something, Wang Jie's eyes had changed - this was not the same Wang Jie back then.
She felt cold for a while, took two steps back, and said, "You are not that Wang Jie back then, you let me down so much..."
Just for a moment, she remembered her relationship with Wang Jie back then, and she could only comfort herself, saying that Wang Jie was just annoying her, so she took two steps forward again, and she wanted to reach out to pull Wang Jie, but she didn't want Wang Jie to be so annoying. His eyes are as bright as frost and snow.
Wang Jie said in a cold voice: "Miss Fu, please respect yourself, don't let me realize that I was wrong and blind at the beginning."
It's insulting her.
Chen Xijia finally got angry, and she also sneered: "Okay, okay, okay, you've got your skills today, just watch, sometimes when you cry!"
What she said was already stern and stern, since he is a womanizer, and he is not someone like Feng Shuangzhi who is careful to plan and plan, how can he plot against Wang Jie?
Wang Jie didn't pay attention to her at all, and when she left, he sighed, with a taste of the past that he couldn't bear to look back on.
Standing on the spot and thinking about it carefully, he took out the account book again, looked at the vertical plaque hanging on the pillar in the house, then stuffed the account book behind the plaque, and attached a rope to the side. Left and right still feel that the woman is not trustworthy, so there is such an arrangement.
Picking up a pen and dipping in ink was a wild stroke, he wrote "The road is long and long, I will search up and down", and then randomly pressed this page of rice paper on the inconspicuous corner of the desk, and pointed it out to The mother-in-law put a copy of "Mandarin Language" in the place where the account book was hidden, so she clapped her hands and laughed to herself. She only hoped that her tricks would be exhausted, and it would be good if it was not used in the end.
If Feng Shuangzhi was smart, he would know the mystery at a glance.
But after Chen Xijia walked out, his face changed, and Granny Zhang followed, flatteringly speaking nice words to Chen Xijia.Chen Xijia only thought that this woman was disgusting, but suddenly thought of something, changed his smile, took off the jade bracelet on his wrist, and handed it to Granny Zhang; "Grandma Zhang, Mrs. Wang and I are It’s saving friends, I wonder if Lord Wang told you something?”
Grandma Zhang smiled happily when she saw the jade bracelet, and quickly wiped it with her sleeve, almost drooling, and said absent-mindedly: "The master said, I want to send something like a small book to the Hefu—— "
Chen Xijia didn't wait for the woman to finish speaking, so she interrupted her and asked: "What does that book look like?"
"The little blue book, it looks worn out, it doesn't look like other books in the old man's house at all...it's the same as the ledger in the counting room." The woman said without raising her head.
Chen Xijia was startled, looked at the woman, and smiled, "Grandma Zhang, can I ask you something?"
The Han Shangshu among the six books is also a first-rank official. How can I say that this Chen Hongmou is also a high-ranking official. Now that his former subordinates have uncovered his dark history, I really don't know what Chen Hongmou thinks.
When Feng Shuangzhi heard what He Shen said about the morning court today, he almost bent over laughing.
"You were not present. Everyone knew that Chen Hongmou looked down on Wang Jie at the beginning. He used Wang Jie as a sword, but he never thought that this sword was a person. As long as he is a person, he will see through it sooner or later... Chen Hongmou is himself. I did it..." He Shen's tone was extremely contemptuous, obviously gloating, he said, "When Wang Jie clearly said that he was going to participate in Chen Hongmou, Long Live Lord was drinking tea with a bad face, and almost took a sip of tea Squirted out..."
At that time, there was no accident in the harem, so Qianlong was in a good mood at that time. How could he think that Wang Jie would join his old boss, and he thought Wang Jie was joking, and only asked him to clean up, because he had a fever Then go back to take medicine and come back again.But he didn't want to, this Wang Jie was a stubborn donkey, and before he could speak, Qian Feng came out to join Chen Hongmou.
Poor Chen Hongmou, a man in his seventies and eighties, still stood in the court hall, and was read by his two juniors, and immediately became angry, but he didn't dare to say anything in front of the emperor.
Qian Feng and Wang Jie are different in terms of participation. Wang Jie said that Chen Hongmou had personally intervened in the salt administration, from which he took bribes and made huge profits. However, Qian Feng said that the Jiangnan officials recommended by Chen Hongmou are now corrupt and perverting the law. .
Wang Jie was originally sharp-tongued than a knife and pen official, and he was aggressive when he spoke in the court. Chen Hongmou was so angry that he lost his composure and yelled at him after he came down from the court, saying that he was a white sheep and wolf for avenging his personal revenge and repaying his kindness. It will help Wang Jie to tide over the difficulties after seeing the eyes.Facing all kinds of insults from Chen Hongmou, Wang Jie was unmoved, and only said "the one who cleans himself cleans himself". If Chen Hongmou had no ghosts, how could he be caught by him today?
It wasn't that Chen Hongmou was blind, it was Wang Jie who was blind. At that time, he didn't understand the rules of the officialdom, so he couldn't see through Chen Hongmou's various schemes.
As for Qian Feng, no matter what, he was also the official censor, and he also relied on his mouth to make a living. He spoke mercilessly and pressed every step of the way, only to refute Chen Hongmou who wanted to defend himself, and was speechless.
Qian Feng and Wang Jie seemed to have made an appointment a long time ago. On the same day, they attacked from both sides. Although Qianlong only said to investigate, the investigation could find out the problem.
Ah Gui was away, so it was inconvenient to deal with the affairs of the palace, so Yong Gui came to investigate the matter, Chen Hongmou did not deal with it for the time being, but still kept his original official position.Qianlong seemed to trust Chen Hongmou, so he didn't believe that Chen Hongmou would do such a thing.
But aside from Qian Feng, Qianlong admired Wang Jie very much. Today, Wang Jie's remarks were as sharp as a sword. He spread the matter of Chen Hongmou and talked about the fate of the country and the fate of the Qing Dynasty. Qianlong had to pay attention to it.
"I didn't know that there were people with such eloquence in the court. Madam, what would you say if I wanted to win him over?" He Shen couldn't help asking, he actually knew the relationship between Wang Jie and Feng Shuangzhi. There is a certain connection between them, but I also guessed that the connection was caused by Chen Xijia, so I didn't care much.
After hearing He Shen's lazy question, Feng Shuangzhi smiled, but said, "If you're joking, that's fine. If you really go to win him over, you will be the next one to be recruited."
Although He Shen has strong ability to handle affairs, he is not a clean official, not to mention that he has a lot of corruption, at least he can't say that he has a clean sleeve.Without the protection of the emperor, a truly clean-sleeved official would have difficulty moving an inch in this court.Since He Shen wants to be a capable minister, he is doomed not to be a truly upright official.
If Wang Jie was wooed, his first feeling would be disgust.
It's better for He Shen not to touch Wang Jie's bad luck - although Wang Jie certainly doesn't like He Shen very much.
Feng Shuangzhi pressed her fingers on her temples, and put her pointy little finger on her cheeks, showing a graceful and subtle charm. She didn't listen to He Shen's reply, so she raised her drooping eyes and looked at He Shen. Looking at himself, he didn't evade and said, "Aren't you going to contribute to Chen Hongmou's matter?"
"Where do I add bricks and tiles, and for whom do I add bricks and tiles?" He Shen was very busy.
"If Lian Shuangcheng said that he has no cooperation with you, I won't believe it." Feng Shuangzhi thought of the box of Mingqian tea left by Lian Shuangcheng, and the letter he handed to He Shen alone. He also said, "The leader of the Cao Gang is also feared by the imperial court. The Cao Gang is powerful, and the grain is related to the Qing Dynasty's national fortune. All ships going to and from the Cao Gang pass through the Cao Gang Pass. It is said that even Shuangcheng can't collect it from Chen Hongmou's crime." Evidence for my son is absolutely impossible."
He Shen suddenly turned over and lay down on the bed, put his hands behind his head, and frowned in thought.
Feng Shuangzhi pinched him, "You are so annoying, what are you thinking?"
"I'm thinking... I found out a Chen Hongmou, what else can it do..." Cooperating with Lian Shuangcheng also requires a price, and He Shen needs to calculate clearly whether the price he paid can get a greater return or a loss. Business He Shen doesn't like to do it.He is a shrewd man, and he has to figure out every detail.
This person's broken habits are really like that philistine businessman, he will only be willing to make a move if he has exhausted his plans.
Sometimes Feng Shuangzhi likes to give it a go, and it complements He Shen.
She didn't speak, and let He Shen think about it. Seeing that there seemed to be a look of understanding in his eyes, she asked, "How is the shopkeeper He thinking?"
"Take down a Chen Hongmou, at least half of the Jiangnan officialdom can be controlled, and even the account books are not needed..." He Shen said to himself, and then said, "Now the forces in the court are in a delicate balance. With Fukang'an as the leader, the new ones are Fu Chang'an, Wang Jie, Qian Feng... Fukang'an has always been more popular than me, but he is easy to get shot at the cusp of the storm, so he is my shield. Before everyone mentions me and Shen We must first think of a Fukang'an who is more popular than me. Therefore, the existence of Fukang'an is both a bad thing and a good thing for me who is fledgling."
"Fu Chang'an has made good friends with you. He has long been on your side. As far as you are concerned, his existence is good and not bad." Feng Shuangzhi continued.
"Yes. But Qian Feng is a disaster. This Wang Jie doesn't know whether he is an enemy or a friend, but I see that the chance of becoming a friend is too small—" He Shen smiled with a bit of evil spirit, he curled his lips, But he said, "This is the upstarts. In the imperial court, Agui, Yonggui, Liu Yong and other veteran officials are the ones who really matter. This time, the matter was given to Yonggui, but one is that Yonggui is old, and the other is a big deal. The son has never been left to one person to finish the matter-the emperor must find another person to handle this matter. Fu Kang'an's wife is Chen Hongmou's granddaughter. In order to avoid suspicion, Fu Kang'an cannot participate. As the impeachment of Chen Hongmou, Wang Jie and Qian Feng may have a share, but they are the ones who impeached Chen Hongmou after all, and they have a prejudice against him, so they have to find another person, whether this person is Fu Changan or me, it doesn't matter at all."
Not that it doesn't matter at all, in fact there is no difference at all.
When the matter fell on Fu Chang'an's head, it also fell on He Shen's head. Fu Chang'an and He Shen got mixed up when they were guards in front of the imperial court.Because of all kinds of rumors about Fukang'an's life experience, Fu Changan is not very close to Fukang'an. Even if Fukang'an has the meaning of being an elder brother, it is hard to put down his face and say it. He can only look at Fu Changan and He Shen. Getting closer and closer.
Now that He Shen had calculated everything, he laughed and said, "I'm going to Jiangnan to make meritorious service for my husband."
Once the stakes are considered, He Shen can rest easy, so he worked hard for what Feng Shuangzhi said the day before yesterday that he wanted a daughter.
On the second day of court, the situation was exactly as Heshen had expected. Qianlong ordered Yonggui, Wang Jie, and Heshen to go to the south of the Yangtze River to thoroughly investigate Chen Hongmou's case.
He Shen received an errand here, but he wanted to leave Beijing temporarily, so he went back to his residence to make preparations, and passed the news to Feng Shuangzhi by the way.
A business trip is a common thing, Feng Shuangzhi didn't care much about it, she was just worried about the safety of the trip to the south of the Yangtze River, she said: "In the early years, Fukang'an cooperated with the Cao Gang, I am afraid that the influence in the south of the Yangtze River is not weak. Don't overdo it, it will hurt your life."
In fact, He Shen knew all this, and Feng Shuangzhi also knew that he knew it, but he was still worried, fearing that the matter would really make a big fuss, and those individuals would jump over the wall in a hurry, and didn't know what to do.She was worried about Heshen, but Heshen couldn't bear to make her worry any more, so she said: "The imperial envoy has your godfather Yonggui, and the investigation has Wang Jie, a stubborn donkey. come back."
Feng Shuangzhi burst out laughing, sighed, and knew that this was nothing to worry about, so he just said: "The real ability is to be able to make peace with the mud."
As long as Zhichen is "straight", he will stand aside in all his calculations, but a person like He Shen has to weigh all parties, which can be described as a laborious effort.
He Shen pulled her to sit down and have lunch together, saying that the old man Chen Hongmou was probably scared out of his wits now.
Feng Shuangzhi immediately thought of Chen Xijia. Yonggui and Heshen naturally had nothing to do with Chen Xijia, but Wang Jie, the main force in the investigation, was her old friend. There are some things that Chen Xijia can still do.
The facts were exactly as Feng Shuangzhi expected.
Now, Fukang'an is still living in Chunhe Garden. After Chen Xijia heard the news in the backyard, she was really uneasy, and asked the little Bazi who came to tell her the news-Where is the little Bazi? When Fukang'an was in the palace, the emperor gave Fukang'an a little eunuch who had followed Fukang'an for many years.
Just now when Fukangan came down to the court, he asked him to tell his wife about it, as long as she knew it, and don't move around.
At that time, Xiao Bazi had a bitter face, but he didn't dare to disobey his master's words, so he could only bite the bullet.He knew that this errand was not easy, and he always felt that his wife was not a good person to deal with, and this time he saw it.
After hearing the news of Chen Hongmou's impeachment, Chen Xijia couldn't sit still immediately, and stood up from the brocade bench, "You said my grandfather was impeached by Wang Jie and Qian Feng?!"
Little Bazi groaned in his heart, he had already expected such a situation to happen, so at this moment, he could only answer tremblingly and falteringly: "Yes."
Chen Xijia almost lost her footing, but the maid beside her helped her so that she managed not to fall down.
"I...I'm going to see Grandpa..."
Little Bazi thought of Fukang'an's words, and knew that now Fukang'an never wanted to see Chen Xijia, who likes a troublesome old man?Nothing happened in the past, but everyone was carrying it around. Now it is Chen Hongmou who offended someone, offending that stubborn donkey and prickly head. How can Wang Jie be so easy to provoke?Now it's too late for the master to get the people under his command, so how can he care about Chen Hongmou?
Thinking about it, Xiao Bazi quickly went to stop him: "Ma'am, Master said no—"
Chen Xijia had already stepped forward, but she didn't expect this dog slave to stop her in front of her. Now the matter is urgent, and the imperial envoy may leave tomorrow. She must go to Fu Kang'an to explain this matter clearly, for her own sake. Grandfather begged for mercy, at least he was Fukang'an's father-in-law, so he should help him no matter what.
She was thinking very well, if it was normal, it would be fine, but Fukang'an is deeply involved with the Jiangnan officialdom, and now Chen Hongmou didn't know how to pull out the carrots and bring out the mud, just like a bunch of gourds How much is pulled out, the most urgent thing is to clear up the relationship between oneself and the other side, to protect yourself before you can protect others.
This time, the incident happened suddenly. Fukang'an hadn't received any news at all before, and now he is so busy that he doesn't want to see anyone. Isn't Chen Xijia going to cause trouble?
So even though he knew that his wife might hate him because of this, and was thinking about his master's order, Xiao Bazi still stopped him.
Unfortunately, he didn't finish his sentence, and Chen Xijia slapped him in exchange.
Now Chen Xijia is in a hurry, her grandfather's matter is bigger than the sky, if Chen Hongmou really falls, she will lose her biggest backer, and she will not be able to gain a foothold in this Fu Heng Mansion.So seeing Xiao Bazi standing in front of her, Chen Xijia was furious. She just felt that this slave was too courageous and cunning. He didn't care who he was, so he slapped him; "Am I the master or you?" Is it the master? The slave doesn't look like a slave, get out of the way, and you can intervene in the affairs of the masters?!"
Her attack was very vicious, just because she was so angry that she had already lost her sense of proportion and severity, only half of Xiao Bazi's face was swollen and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Anyway, Xiao Bazi has been serving Fukang'an for so long, and the slaves who came out of the palace know a lot. Fukang'an usually uses him as his confidant, but now it's just a report, and he was actually taken by the woman. The master punished him like this, but the little Bazi was not convinced, he looked submissive on the face, stepped aside without saying a word, and kept sneering in his heart.
Anyone who dares to touch the third master Fu's brow now will only have a dead end. The wife is not someone who is on the top of my heart. The only reason I respect her is because the two are husband and wife. The rules and face are still to be given, but the master She never had half of her sincerity.For a woman like this, it would be fine if she behaved with her tail between her legs, but she just didn't know how to avoid suspicion, and she flirted with Wang Jie, so I had a suspicion in my heart.Now the Lord has made it clear that he won't help Chen Hongmou, at least he can't do anything now, and the wife wants to go in to make trouble—at least the little Bazi is Fukang's confidant, she hits whenever she says, really doesn't understand the rules.
It's no wonder that those who come out of the Jiangnan portal don't hang out at the emperor's feet, and their eyelids are always a little shallow.
The closest slave to the master has always been respected by the mistresses. Take Feng Shuangzhi and He Shen as an example, Liu Quan'er in the middle is He Shen's slave. After the master Feng Shuangzhi, he never treated him badly. He even had many things to ask Liu Quan'er, and assigned all the affairs outside the house to Liu Quan'er. Liu Quan'er also respected the mistress. Only then can I be at peace.
Chen Xijia obviously didn't understand this truth.
Liu Quan'er is a domestic slave, but in fact he is not as good as Xiaobazi.Little Bazi came out of the palace anyway, although he didn't say he was superior to others, but after all, he had the name of coming out of the palace, and Fu Kang'an had to speak up for punishment. The only person in the entire Fu Heng Mansion who could deal with Xiaobazi was Fukang Ann, even Fu Heng doesn't have the qualifications. After all, Little Bazi is famous in the palace, and only people in the palace can punish him except his master.
Now Chen Xijia gave him a slap without saying a word, but the little Bazi hated him in his heart, and didn't bother to care whether Chen Xijia committed suicide by himself, and only looked at her back after seeing her rushing towards Fukang'an's study "Bah" sounded.
"What are you! Shameless stinky 1□□!"
What Xiaobazi thought was that half a point would not be bad.
Chen Xijia pushed open the door of Fukang'an's study room without thinking, but he didn't think that Fukang'an was talking to his counselor about keeping some people from Jiangnan: "Zheng Hongqu is——"
The voice suddenly stopped, and Fukang'an's cold eyes fell on Chen Xijia, and his tone was stiff: "Why are you here?"
As soon as Chen Xijia opened the door, she realized that she had forgotten to knock on the door, and saw several counselors sitting in the room, but it was too late to dodge, and she forgot to speak for a while.
It's just that the counselors were smart after all, so they bowed to Fu Kang'an and left the study one after another, leaving only Chen Xijia and Fu Kang'an.
Knowing that he was angry, Fukang'an suppressed his breath and asked again: "I'm discussing something important, what are you doing here?"
Didn't Xiaobazi tell her what to do?Where did Xiaobazi go?
Fukang'an took a cup of clear fire tea on the table, took a sip, suppressed the fire, and looked at Chen Xijia.
Chen Xijia came in and said, "I heard about my grandfather, so Wang Jie and Qian Feng impeached my grandfather... My grandfather has always been clean and honest, he would never do such a thing, it must be Wang Jie Publicly avenging private revenge, collaborating with Qian Feng, and wanting to put my grandfather to death! Lord, you save him, you have such a wide network in central Beijing and Jiangnan, there must be a way—"
Her voice was trembling with fear at the back, even a little sharp.
Ever since Qian Feng and Wang Jie impeached Chen Hongmou yesterday, Fukang'an has been busy clearing things up in Jiangnan. He didn't sleep long last night. Now his temples are throbbing and the pain is severe. Chen Xijia This scream seemed to make his whole brain explode, Fu Kang'an suddenly raised his voice, and told her to shut up: "Before the matter came out, I was crying and crying, I didn't know that your grandfather was dead It’s up to you! You know if he’s clean or not. If you think he’s clean, let Wang Jie and the other three investigate and he’ll be fine. Why are you begging me?!”
Fu Kang'an, who suddenly became angry, obviously frightened Chen Xijia. She trembled, her face turned pale, and tears rolled down her face, "Master, are you going to ignore my grandfather?"
When you can't take care of yourself, how can you find time to save others?
Fu Kang'an sneered, "If you marry into the Fucha family, you are no longer a member of the Chen family. I haven't pulled out all the chess pieces in the south of the Yangtze River. You don't care about me, but you worry about your grandfather, so good. "
The voice finally regained its calm, but it only made Chen Xijia feel colder.
Chen Xijia is not a stupid person. Now that she heard what Fukang'an said, she knew what mistake she had just made. She wanted to explain, but she opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only say something dry. : "The concubine is just too worried..."
Too worried?Fu Kang'an sneered, but he was exhausted physically and mentally. He still thought that the matter was not easy, and he didn't really want to see Chen Xijia, so he said, "Let's go."
"Concubine—"
She also tried to argue with her pale words, but Fukan'an threw the teacup in her hand directly towards her, brushed her cheek and passed, Fukan'an said coldly: "Fuck off!" .”
She felt that she had been hurt, and served Fukang'an wholeheartedly, but now she even refused to agree to plead for her grandfather. Ahi treated herself like this, she was really wrong, she wanted a good relationship, but she didn't want to treat herself circle in!
Turning around and throwing it away, Chen Xijia cried very sadly, stumbled all the way, and thought of the little things about getting along with Wang Jie in the past, compared with Fukang'an, but felt that everything was good, why was she so stupid, so Silly!
Chen Xijia fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
Xiao Bazi was just about to go back to the study, saw this scene from a distance, snorted, touched his face, turned around and took a long way, then avoided Chen Xijia, and went to Fukang'an's study from the other side .
Before entering the door, he saw the broken teacup by the door, several counselors were waiting outside, Xiao Bazi didn't think it was strange at all, it must be that the master lost his temper.
He knocked on the door frame and said respectfully, "Master, the slave is back."
As soon as he raised his eyes, Fukang'an saw the scar on Xiao Bazi's face, and immediately frowned, "How did it happen?"
The little Bazi faltered and said nothing, so Fukang'an understood, and after a long time he said: "Be patient first, let someone come in."
Xiao Bazi knew that he was referring to the counselors outside, so he turned around and went out to ask some gentlemen to come in, and he himself followed and closed the door.
Fu Kang'an said: "The older Chen Hongmou is, the more confused he is, and he has been caught for corruption."
One of the scribes, wearing an apricot shirt and holding a folding fan, said: "Now we have to abandon our pawns to save the car, so Chen Hongmou can't keep it."
After saying this, the counselor made a cross-cutting gesture with one palm towards Fukang'an, which meant that Chen Hongmou had been eliminated.
Fukang'an crossed his hands and ten fingers together, thinking of Chen Xijia just now, after thinking about it for a long time, he still said: "After all, he is my grandfather-in-law, so I will find a way to say hello to the Lianghuai side, destroy all the books, and take him out if he can." .”
The counselors also knew the identity of Chen Hongmou, and the third wife of Fu came just now, probably to plead for mercy, but now that Fu Kang'an had made a decision, they couldn't say anything.
Just going out, the counselor in the apricot-yellow shirt was so anxious that he knocked his head with the fan in his hand, "Chen Hongmou, an old man, can't be kept, he is a fall at the first sight, Yonggui, Wang Jie and Na Heshen, if they really follow him If something comes out of your mouth, then things will explode."
"Anyway, it's the grandfather-in-law of the third master, so don't be too ruthless. If the husband and wife don't get along later, you will be charged with a lot of crimes." Another counselor advised him.
The counselor known as Qiu Shan sneered: "Look, this Chen Hongmou is definitely going to do something bad!"
Everyone persuaded him that he had no choice but to leave it alone, and went to work independently without mentioning it.
Qiushan's full name is Luo Qiushan, and he can be regarded as a talented man with a lot of strategy. During Qianlong's fourth southern tour, he met Fukang'an in a flower boat. They watched the oiran dance together. What he saw was a glamorous thing. But they were all family and country strategies, and they talked until midnight, and felt that they were in harmony, so this Luo Qiushan became Fu Kang'an's counselor.
He also came from Lianghuai back then, he used to be a Yangzhou scholar, it's not that he has never heard of Wang Jie's name, but now it's really difficult for this stubborn master to fight against his old boss.I don't know how this Wang Jie got the hang of it, and he suddenly became difficult to deal with.
Luo Qiushan only felt annoyed. Thinking of that bad thing, Mrs. Fu San felt that this woman was short-sighted, and hated Fu Kang'an for not being able to marry a good wife.This woman had a reputation as a lady in Jiangning back then, but Luo Qiushan never liked it, and now she feels that Chen Xijia is a drag...
He was extremely worried, so he went up to Liuzuilou to drink, he didn't want to be upstairs, so he saw a small blue sedan chair coming out of the small gate of Fu Heng's mansion, looking at the maid walking beside the sedan chair, she looked quite familiar, looking carefully Thinking about it, isn't this the person next to Mrs. Fu San?
At that moment, Luo Qiushan felt that something was different, he frowned and thought for a while, then threw a couple of pieces of silver, put down the wine glass, went downstairs and followed the sedan chair from a distance, only to see that the sedan chair had gone to Wang Jie house.
Luo Qiushan raised his eyebrows, thinking that it's no wonder that this woman committed suicide by herself, so when she turned around, Luo Qiushan directly asked someone to wait for Fu Heng who had to pass by on the capital road every day.
Chen Xijia paid homage to Wang Jie's mansion alone, and now Wang Jie lives alone, although the emperor wanted to grant him a marriage, but Wang Jie refused in every possible way, and now he wanted to go to Beijing for business, so he put it aside.
The mansion is very small, there is only one old slave and a woman. Wang Jie takes care of himself in daily life. The woman and the old slave only take care of the chores in the mansion, and they are never allowed to enter Wang Jie's study.
This time Wang Jie knew that the matter of investigating Chen Hongmou must be dangerous, so after thinking about it, he hid the account book, showed it to the woman, and said: "If I can't come back this time, you can take this account book." Mrs. He, who gave it to He Mansion, said that I, Wang Jie, left it for her, and I only hope that she will not give it to He Shen and use it for treachery."
The mother-in-law is nothing to do, and she lives in a muddle on weekdays. The only good thing is sincerity. Wang Jie can do whatever he says. Now that he has said that he will hand it over to Mrs. He when he comes back, she will not give it to others.Hearing what Wang Jie said was so dangerous, the woman thought that something serious was about to happen, and was about to ask more questions, when she heard a knock on the door, "I'll go and have a look."
Wang Jie was packing his things, so he only responded, thinking about who was coming, and when he didn't want to raise his eyes, Mrs. Zhang had already brought Chen Xijia in.Immediately Wang Jie was not happy: "Mrs. Zhang, why are you bringing everyone into the mansion?"
It was just now that Chen Xijia directly stuffed Granny Zhang with a bag of silver to scare people away, and made Granny Zhang, who was knocked unconscious by the pie, bring her in.Now Chen Xijia couldn't care less about her reputation. She believed that Fukang'an had a bad heart for her, and she had already concluded that the other party would not save her grandfather, so now she could only ask Wang Jie's door.
"You don't need to talk about my mother-in-law, I insisted on coming in." Chen Xijia winked, and the maid she brought dragged her out, and then she said to Wang Jie who stood there silently, "You impeach my grandfather?" , what is the intention?"
Wang Jie sneered, "What intentions can I have? If he dares to be greedy, I dare to impeach him!"
Wang Jie was born with tough bones, he was not afraid of the sky, he was not afraid of the earth, he walked upright, and even thunder could not hit him, he had a clear conscience, and he spoke with awe-inspiring righteousness.
Now Wang Jie is not what he used to be, and he already has the demeanor of a generation of famous ministers, but his words are hidden, facing the current Chen Xijia, his former sweetheart, this "sweetheart" can't be better.
Chen Xijia couldn't stop crying when she thought of the grievances she suffered in Chunhe Garden. She thought that Wang Jie would soften his heart when she cried, and she didn't want Wang Jie to stand there and not move.
Chen Xijia cried and said: "My grandfather is already over seventy years old, so you let him live the rest of his life well, are you still unwilling to let him go? At least he protected you and promoted you back then. Although you and I failed at the beginning, But since you are interested in me, why are you targeting my grandfather? He is old and his health is not good... Wang Jie, just because of our past friendship, can't you let him go?"
Wang Jie didn't know what to say anymore, he said every word clearly: "Miss Fu San, you also said that the love is from the past. Today, I, Wang Jie, as an official of the court, will never tolerate those who break the law. Mr. Chen Hongmou If he did it, he did it, and if he didn't do it, he didn't do it. Mrs. Fu San thinks that I, Wang Jie, are avenging private revenge, so that means she believes Mr. Chen is innocent, so why bother to beg Wang Jie?"
This rhetoric turned out to be the same as what Fukang'an said at the time.
Chen Xijia didn't expect Wang Jie to be so ruthless, she suddenly felt that she seemed to miss something, Wang Jie's eyes had changed - this was not the same Wang Jie back then.
She felt cold for a while, took two steps back, and said, "You are not that Wang Jie back then, you let me down so much..."
Just for a moment, she remembered her relationship with Wang Jie back then, and she could only comfort herself, saying that Wang Jie was just annoying her, so she took two steps forward again, and she wanted to reach out to pull Wang Jie, but she didn't want Wang Jie to be so annoying. His eyes are as bright as frost and snow.
Wang Jie said in a cold voice: "Miss Fu, please respect yourself, don't let me realize that I was wrong and blind at the beginning."
It's insulting her.
Chen Xijia finally got angry, and she also sneered: "Okay, okay, okay, you've got your skills today, just watch, sometimes when you cry!"
What she said was already stern and stern, since he is a womanizer, and he is not someone like Feng Shuangzhi who is careful to plan and plan, how can he plot against Wang Jie?
Wang Jie didn't pay attention to her at all, and when she left, he sighed, with a taste of the past that he couldn't bear to look back on.
Standing on the spot and thinking about it carefully, he took out the account book again, looked at the vertical plaque hanging on the pillar in the house, then stuffed the account book behind the plaque, and attached a rope to the side. Left and right still feel that the woman is not trustworthy, so there is such an arrangement.
Picking up a pen and dipping in ink was a wild stroke, he wrote "The road is long and long, I will search up and down", and then randomly pressed this page of rice paper on the inconspicuous corner of the desk, and pointed it out to The mother-in-law put a copy of "Mandarin Language" in the place where the account book was hidden, so she clapped her hands and laughed to herself. She only hoped that her tricks would be exhausted, and it would be good if it was not used in the end.
If Feng Shuangzhi was smart, he would know the mystery at a glance.
But after Chen Xijia walked out, his face changed, and Granny Zhang followed, flatteringly speaking nice words to Chen Xijia.Chen Xijia only thought that this woman was disgusting, but suddenly thought of something, changed his smile, took off the jade bracelet on his wrist, and handed it to Granny Zhang; "Grandma Zhang, Mrs. Wang and I are It’s saving friends, I wonder if Lord Wang told you something?”
Grandma Zhang smiled happily when she saw the jade bracelet, and quickly wiped it with her sleeve, almost drooling, and said absent-mindedly: "The master said, I want to send something like a small book to the Hefu—— "
Chen Xijia didn't wait for the woman to finish speaking, so she interrupted her and asked: "What does that book look like?"
"The little blue book, it looks worn out, it doesn't look like other books in the old man's house at all...it's the same as the ledger in the counting room." The woman said without raising her head.
Chen Xijia was startled, looked at the woman, and smiled, "Grandma Zhang, can I ask you something?"
