Heshen is a strict wife

Qianlong has been the emperor for too long, and maybe everyone is guessing when he will die.

At the time of Lord Kangxi, the prince had been the prince for four or fifty years, but didn’t he disappear in the end?Lord Yongzheng only reigned for 50 years after succeeding to the throne, even though he was getting old and his health was failing.How long has Lord Qianlong been emperor now, and several of his sons are gone, and this old man is still alive and strong here.Yongyan wants to succeed, but the emperor is still alive, so what?

He Shen suddenly became vigilant, what Yong Yan was thinking behind his back, what plans he had, he couldn't predict at all.Now he and Fukang'an can control the government by joining forces, which can be said to be a great help for Yongyan, but there is also a problem-the threat is too great.

The two talked about it cryptically, and after Fu Kang'an told him, they felt that such a thing was actually unavoidable.Once a person has ambition, why dare not do it?

Sometimes being ambitious is not a bad thing.

It is rare for He Shen to go with Fukang'an and Wang Jie. These three people are actually not quite right, but today's matter is different from the past after all.

In Wang Jie's view, the three families joined forces to do this matter, but in Wang Jie's opinion, it was just a matter of seeking skin from a tiger, but Qian Feng was already involved in this matter, so it was impossible to avoid it.What's more, they Qingliu officials, even if there is no such thing as He Shen, they still have to do this thing. Now it's just that everyone has the same purpose.

It's just that this kind of situation is extremely rare after all, the three of them came out from the gate of the palace, and went to sit together in Juxian Building as usual, but they didn't know what to say when they sat together.

Wang Jie glanced at the two people, and said: "The emperor is afraid that he still wants to favor those two people."

Fu Kang'an said: "There is nothing the emperor can do to show favoritism. As the saying goes, the law does not blame the public. Today you are the only ones who came out, and more will come out later."

Since they have already torn faces with Li Shiyao and Sun Shiyi, it is impossible for He Shen and Fu Kang'an to be merciful in this situation. Who is not a ruthless person who has been in the officialdom?Now if Sun and Li don't take advantage of their "illness" to kill them, maybe something will happen.Even if the current situation is very dangerous, they can't just let it go so easily.

Sun and Li were let go today, and these two dogs will bite them in the future.

The poisonous plots in He Shen's heart came up one after another, but before he could use them, he took a cup of tea and said: "One is that the law does not blame the public, and the other is that we have to be reasonable. In the end, we must follow the laws of the Qing Dynasty. You don’t have to worry too much if you leave as usual. Now that the fifteenth brother is in charge of the country, he should be persuading the emperor behind his back.”

How to persuade, that is beyond He Shen's imagination.

Wang Jie only said: "The two Sun and Li are now detained in the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Hearing that the emperor is partial to them, he has become arrogant and domineering. If these two people don't get their retribution, I'm sorry for the common people Liming... Well, let's stop here today. Master Liu Yong has something to ask, and Wang Jie still has to attend the appointment, so I will leave first."

Liu Yong and Wang Jie must have a good discussion on this matter, and it will be difficult to deal with any troubles later.

As soon as he left, He Shen and Fu Kang'an didn't have much to sit on. Everyone couldn't understand each other, and went back to the house after a few polite words.

It was originally said that Fukang'an was going to marry another wife, but because of the death of the empress dowager, now that the red thing is banned, it is just secretly looking for a candidate, and Fukang'an has become a good man that everyone in the capital wants to marry.

Thinking of this, when He Shen entered the door, the smile on his lips widened.

Inside, Fu Lu Shou Xi was standing. Seeing that He Shen had just come back at this time, one person smiled and said, "Why did you come back so late today? The second master brought a good drink to you today, but you are not here, so the madam entertained you." The second master and the second wife are still sitting in the flower hall at the back. Madam asked the servant to tell you that if you come back, you can go directly to the Xu Liao Water Pavilion, where she will be waiting for you."

He Lin went out to build the mansion by herself, but if she was not busy, she would come back from time to time to have a look or two. The relationship between the brothers has never been weak.

Hearing what the servant said, he just turned around and walked towards the waterside pavilion in the back garden.

Not long after, I saw a banquet inside, and Feng Shuangzhi stood up to serve Yuanlan with a smile on his face.

The warm yellow light shone on the lake, which made Feng Shuangzhi's figure even more slender.He Shen only felt happy to see such a family and happy scene.Even though there were many changes in the court, I completely let go when I returned home.

Walking through the steps, before entering, Feng Shuangzhi had already noticed him, so he smiled naturally, and said: "You came back late today, I heard that something serious happened in the palace again."

The news was brought by He Lin, Feng Shuangzhi heard it, and before he had time to think about it, he saw He Shen come in.

He Shen sat next to her, as if he had been there from the beginning, but he just left halfway and came back at this time.

He glanced at He Lin, and He Lin said: "There is a lot going on in the palace. I also heard about it. I told my sister-in-law when I came back, but I haven't thought much about it yet. Then Wang Jie also got involved in this matter." It's here, I'm afraid Sun Shiyi and Li Shiyao are doomed."

Feng Shuangzhi also nodded, probably thinking the same way.

She was idle and bored, recently drew a few round fans, and now she gave one to Yuan Lan, and kept two for herself.That finger rested on the handle of the fan, and the hand that was shaking the fan suddenly stopped, not knowing what it was thinking of.

He Shen said: "I just don't know how long it will take."

Turning his gaze around, he saw Feng Shuangzhi's strangely dazed expression, and he was surprised, "Ma'am, what's the matter?"

Feng Shuangzhi's fan covered half of his face, then slowly put it down, frowned and said, "It's nothing serious, it's just that I suddenly thought of the current emperor's body, can I still endure such torture?"

He Shen's eyes flashed, "The thing that should be done is always to be done. You can't not trigger these two people just because the emperor's health is not good. To say something disrespectful in private, the world belongs to the emperor, and it also belongs to the people of the world." world."

There is a saying that the emperor commits the same crime as the common people. Although it is not very appropriate, Sun Shiyi and Li Shiyao are not the emperor after all.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Helin always felt a little mysterious, but he was cheerful and unwilling to think about these nonsense things.

After a few rounds of drinking with He Shen, He Lin will go back to the mansion, and tomorrow she will be working in front of A Gui, so it can't be too late.

Before leaving the Hefu, Yuan Lan asked: "Why do you hear that there seems to be some other mystery in what my brother and sister-in-law said? I am confused and don't understand what it means. You can understand ?”

He Lin smiled, and said: "The two of them like to hide their words, only they can understand, why should we listen to them?"

Yuan Lan laughed at him: "You are so lazy because you don't want to think about what they say."

Sighing, He Lin held Yuan Lan's hand tightly, and said, "What's wrong with elder brother and sister-in-law? It is because of their calculations that we are here. The tension between the court and China seems to be calm, but after all, the emperor Illness, the fifteenth brother is stable, but who knows if the eighth and eleventh brothers have given up? On weekdays, you can learn a lot by walking around with your sister-in-law for a few minutes. "

What he said touched Yuan Lan's heart, "It's really true. I think that Zhou Qu is a man under sister-in-law's subordinates. He is very capable, but he is also obedient under sister-in-law's subordinates."

It's not just the Zhouqu, even Liu Quan'er, among the people in the house, who would not accept Feng Shuangzhi?

Yuan Lan admires Heshen and his wife for being so good. After so many years of getting along, there is actually very little friction.

But when he mentioned Zhou Qu, He Lin said: "Others are fine. After all, Zhou Qu is not from the mansion, and he has no contract of prostitution. He is not like a counselor, but he lives in the mansion. Sister-in-law and He is innocent, and he is only afraid of other people's gossip."

I don't know where the rumors came from recently. After all, Zhou Qu was Feng Shuangzhi's right-hand man. Feng Shuangzhi relied on him more, and Liu Quan'er wanted to follow He Shen's side, and he couldn't get away from handling the affairs of the house. Yes, one more person to take care of it is very compliant.The bad thing seems to be that Zhou Qu is a pretty good-looking person, with elegant conversation and the ability to do things. There were many people who came to matchmaking, but Zhou Qu rejected them all.Such a man is capable and capable, and he is highly valued by the hostess. It is inevitable that some people will gossip.

This kind of nonsense is not only found in He Shen's mansion, but also in other places, but it's hard to tell the truth.

There have been no such rumors in the past, and I don't know where it started in recent days.

When Yuan Lan heard this, she remembered the matter, but she didn't think much about it at this time, and went back to the mansion with He Lin, waited for him to rest, and still contacted Feng Shuangzhi in two days.

It's just that something happened to Feng Shuangzhi this night.

In the middle of the night, he flipped through the books in the study, knocked over the candlesticks, and burned the books that Feng Shuangzhi copied long ago.

This is the account book left by Wang Jie back then. What she handed over was the original, and the copy is still in her hands. She thought it was the same thing whether she kept it or not, so she put it on the bookshelf. A little startled.

He Shen heard the movement in front of her and came over to see her knock over the candlestick. A corner of the ledger was ablaze, and hurried over to put it out. The fire started for no reason, which is not a good omen.But He Shen is a person who does not believe in fate, so he has no worries.

He hastily pulled Feng Shuangzhi aside; "Did it burn?"

"Where is it so easy to have an accident?" Feng Shuangzhi shook his head, and looked back at the account book, "I don't know why I suddenly went into a daze today, as if I remembered something, but I was just hit by the fire and forgot again."

"If you can't remember it, think about it slowly. I'm afraid it's not something important. If you forget it, you will forget it."

She wanted to talk to He Shen just now, but now she completely forgot about it.

He Shen saw that she was fine, so he went over to clean up the mess, when he suddenly saw the ledger, he held it in his hand and flipped through it.

He had seen the ledger from a distance when the case was settled. After all, it was in Qianlong's hands, and it was not easy for them to touch it personally. Feng Shuangzhi took the ledger directly through Yi Ajiang, and never After He Shen's hand.Now he picked up the ledger, his eyes suddenly fell on a line of words, and he was suddenly stunned.

Feng Shuangzhi was wondering why he didn't move, so he went up and asked, "What happened again?"

"... something big is going to happen."

He Shen just took a deep breath and hoped that nothing happened now. With such a commotion today, the matter of Sun and Li might lead to the people behind them. He hurriedly rolled up the account book, He said, "Something has happened."

He didn't care about explaining too much, so he just asked Feng Shuangzhi to go to bed first tonight, and then he turned back and went out, opened the door and called Liu Quan'er: "Liu Quan'er quickly go to Wang Jie's mansion, and let him interrogate Sun Shiyi and Li Shiyao overnight .Don't be dazed, go first, I'll wait for him at the Ministry of Criminal Justice!"

"Hey." Liu Quan'er shivered violently from He Shen's icy voice, ran out in a hurry, got on the horse, and went to Wang Jie's mansion first.

On He Shen's side, he rushed directly to the Ministry of Criminal Justice with the ledger in his arms, hoping that things would not be as bad as he imagined.

When Liu Quan'er arrived at Wang Jie's mansion, Wang Jie was not asleep yet, just sitting in front of the desk with his index fingers crossed, just an oil lamp that was getting dim, he didn't speak, let alone move, as if he was in samadhi.

As soon as he heard someone shouting outside, he went out of the study door and walked to the atrium. He saw the porter opened the door for Liu Quan'er. I don't know why, but I came out in the middle of the night and asked you to go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to interrogate Sun Shiyi and Li Shiyao overnight—"

Before Liu Quan'er finished speaking, she saw Wang Jie's expression suddenly changed, and then heard him say, "It's really broken".

Wang Jie walked directly past Liu Quan'er, pulled Liu Quan'er's horse, and went straight to the Ministry of Punishment.

Liu Quan'er was dumbfounded. What on earth do these gentlemen do?Wang Jie rode his horse, so how could he go back?

Regardless of Liu Quan'er's complaints here, Wang Jie has already rode his horse directly to the Ministry of Punishment, and when he just entered, he heard the sound of throwing a glass, but He Shen scolded: "Can you afford to delay things?!"

Just hearing this, Wang Jie knew something was going to happen.

He is the servant of the criminal department, and he is also in charge of this case. When he entered the door, there was only one sentence: "Do as you told your lord."

The official below was shaking like a sieve, his legs were weak. He Shen said just now that he was going to pick him up in the middle of the night, and he was about to leave slowly. One voice: "I don't have the strength to do things now, so don't do things in the future!"

This is already a threat, but Heshen has the capital to threaten.

Seeing that the official was about to collapse after his words, he kicked him, knocked the official to the ground, and looked at Wang Jie again.

Wang Jie ignored the situation here, directly spared the back hall, and went to the prison of the Ministry of punishment.

Along the way, the jailers were so frightened that these two masters came to interrogate the prisoners in the middle of the night, they hurriedly stood up and straightened their clothes and hats.

He Shen and Wang Jie walked quickly through the hot and smelly prison cell, and the crazy prisoners on both sides stretched out their hands, trying to hold them back, but the two of them didn't even look sideways at them. One glance, two strokes and then passed by.

The jailer led them all the way to the place where Sun Shiyi and Li Shiyao were imprisoned. These two were high-ranking officials before, and the place where they were held was cleaned up. They were not with ordinary prisoners. Pretty nasty.

The cells of Sun Shiyi and Li Shiyao were relatively far apart, and because they were afraid of collusion between the two, they were separated.

Now the first person to see was Sun Shiyi. Wang Jie raised his hand, moved his finger lightly, waved his hand, his eyes were calm, and asked the jailer to open the door.

The jailer shouted: "Master Sun, get up, and you will be interrogated tonight!"

No movement.

The man in the white prison uniform huddled on a pile of hay, with some wine and food brought in from outside beside him.

He Shen knew it was going to be bad at a glance. In this stinky prison, he raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose. Seeing Wang Jie's cold face, he continued to walk forward, but he didn't leave. He just stood here watching The jailer turned Sun Shiyi over.

Wang Jie went straight ahead to find Li Shiyao. Li Shiyao was in a deep sleep and was woken up unexpectedly. When he looked up, it was Wang Jie standing in front of him. He stood up and cursed: " Well, you are a wolf-hearted dog, but you are just a stunned young man who has just stepped into the officialdom, and you dare to plot against your grandfather and me, and drive the official out tomorrow, and you must have the same face as opening a big dyeing workshop!"

He was cursing, but he didn't want a series of gentle footsteps to come from beside him, and a quiet voice said: "You can still talk, but you are not dead. This foul-mouthed person is upset after hearing it, so why don't you hurry up and dump him?" What the hell, let him stop? Mr. Wang was born as a literati, so he doesn't like to listen to such dirty words."

How did Wang Jie not know that He Shen was also implying irony?It's just that He Shen casually asked someone to come up and beat Li Shiyao directly, which is extremely courageous.

The jailer was a little hesitant when he heard what He Shen said, but seeing that Wang Jie didn't stop him, and seeing He Shen's expression that was half a smile but not a smile, he shivered for some reason. Li Shiyao scratched his ears, and with the sound of "papa", both sides of Li Shiyao's face became swollen after a while, his teeth bit his tongue, and his face was distorted in pain.

This time it was considered clean, He Shen took out a handkerchief, continued to cover his mouth and nose, and said softly: "Dead."

Sun Shiyi is gone.

Wang Jie understood it just now. He had been locked up with a river worker in Jiangnan Road, and he had seen with his own eyes the scenes of people dying in prison. At that time, there were many tricks like this in the Jiangnan officialdom. Unexpectedly, it was his turn to judge the case, and someone dared to attack this person who was a first- and second-rank official of the imperial court.It can be seen that people's hearts are dark.

He waved his hand and pointed to the food in front of Li Shiyao, "Go and see that the food is poisonous."

Sun Shiyi's trick was like this before. A Sun Shiyi is already dead. I don't know what Li Shiyao thinks?

The jailer took the silver needle for poison testing and inserted it into the wine and vegetable. The silver needle turned black after a while. Li Shiyao originally wanted to struggle and curse, but when he saw the silver needle, he was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground with a terrified expression on his face. Unexpected expression.

He Shen said: "Fortunately, our Lord Li is used to shark's fin and bird's nest, a delicacy of mountains and seas, so he can't bear such rough meals. Otherwise, he would have to meet the King of Hades in advance like Lord Sun who is not far away. You have been an official for so many years, no matter what Such a big enemy, right? Mr. Li, you are in jail, you are in jail, and there are still people who hate you so much that they want to put you to death, and I don’t know what crime you have committed. "

Li Shiyao is really a lucky man. The food delivered a few days ago was fine, and he ate all of it. But today, for some reason, he was restless and restless. He couldn't eat anything, so he put it away for the time being. It's unbelievable that such a big thing has happened now.

His mouth was swollen from the beating, and he yelled vaguely at this moment: "Sun Shiyi is dead?!"

Wang Jie sighed, folded his hands behind his back, and said, "It's really my omission."

After he returned home, he felt that something was wrong. He just thought about the whole thing, and suddenly remembered what he said to He Shen and Fu Kang'an when he was sitting in Juxian Building: Sun Li and Sun Li are in prison. Li heard that Qianlong favored them and was very arrogant.

In the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, who communicated with these two?There are still people sending them news, and they are even "arrogant and domineering" as criminal ministers. This is wrong in itself. If there is no support behind them, how dare they do this?

So there is a ghost behind the case between Sun Shiyi and Li Shiyao, and now it is found that one of the two has died, which shows that someone is going to kill someone to silence them.

Standing in the darkness of the prison cell, the smile on He Shen's face had a strange charm.

It was as if everything was under control, and in a blink of an eye he was completely able to control the overall situation.

Seeing him raise his hand, Wang Jie pressed the wrist of his other hand, as if thinking about something.The emperor didn't have to favor these two people, it was normal, but the emperor was ruthless, just saying that these two people were favored, it shouldn't be to such an extent.After being the emperor for so many years, he should kill whoever should be killed, even if he is old, he shouldn't be so procrastinating - if the two elder brothers behind the two were brought out, Qianlong wanted to protect him, this is justified.

He Shen smiled ambiguously, and looked down at Li Shiyao, who was a former official scholar with panic in his eyes, and said only one sentence: "Master Sun has been wronged to see the King of Hades. The so-called cunning rabbit dies, and the lackey cooks--Master Li, You have become a donkey after the mill has been shed, and a bow after the birds have been exhausted, what else can you say?"
