The scumbag son-in-law dressed as a husband
Chapter 043
Lang Jun's voice is so weak, like a breeze blowing from a mountain stream and valley, but it can cause thousands of waves in a still deep pool.
Xie Shu looked at Lang Jun's lips, they were delicate and lustrous, sweet and soft, when he opened and closed slightly, his breath was like orchids.
And the man in his arms, even if Xie Shu didn't need to do anything, he could still feel the man's body limp on his body at this moment, like spring water, like fine snow, like a beam of moonlight scooped up.
Xie Shu's breathing was stagnant, and for some reason he was struggling to hold Lang Jun's hand, and it was clear that Lang Jun's body was leaning against him tightly, weak and boneless.
And when the breaths of the two were intertwined and intertwined, Xie Shu's Adam's apple couldn't help rolling.
Xie Shu slowly tightened his arms.
Yu Chuxi's heart was beating very fast, he could feel Xie Shu's gaze on his lips, and he approached him...
Yu Chuxi's eyelashes trembled violently. At this moment, he thought Xie Shu would kiss him.
But no, Xie Shu looked at him, and stopped suddenly at the moment her thin lips were about to touch him.
Yu Chuxi fell down with a heavy heart, but in the next second, Xie Shu held him in his arms again, and then placed a kiss on his hair. The kiss was as light as falling flowers, soft and unbelievably soft, as if implying Infinite treasure and pity.
Yu Chuxi's whole body trembled suddenly, and his heart was filled with joy that he had never felt before, and he just fell into his arms like this.
After Xie Shu kissed Lang Jun's loose and thick black hair lightly, it was only then that he realized that his actions just now were a bit rude.
However, Xie Shu just looked down at Lang Jun, stretched out his hand, and smoothed Lang Jun's messy temple hair to his jade white ear. He smiled softly and said, "Lang Jun, wait for me to come back."
When Xie Shu arrived at the teacher's house, it was much earlier than usual. After the servants went to report, Xie Shu waited silently in the hall.
When Jiang Hong came out, he saw that the student was sitting there upright, except that his face was sinking like water, and his demeanor was a little different from what he used to describe, there was nothing else.
Jiang Hong couldn't help being a little curious, what happened to make him, such a calm student, come to him early in the morning?
After entering the inner room, Xie Shu first asked, "Teacher, do you know about the Holy Lord's tour to the south?"
Jiang Hong didn't expect Xie Shu to ask this too. Has the news spread so soon?
There is nothing wrong with this, Jiang Hong nodded and said: "One month before I left Beijing, the Holy Majesty decided to go on a southern tour. It was useless for me to dissuade you, but in my opinion, the Holy Majesty should have had this intention long ago, otherwise it would be too late. The third prince will not be sent to Jiangnan four months ago. Rong Zhan, why did you suddenly ask this?"
When Xie Shu heard this, a flash of light flashed in his mind. Four months ago, at that time, he had just arrived in this world, and he was still figuring out everything. The only thing he did that involved other people was to go there. A West Garden poetry meeting.
But at that poetry meeting, besides talking with a few classmates, Xie Shu left early after writing the poem. Could there be other things that he didn't know about?
Xie Shu's heart sank, and he didn't answer the teacher's question immediately, but continued to ask: "Teacher, the student dares to ask, in the teacher's eyes, what kind of person is this Third Prince?"
Three princes?
Jiang Hong was even more puzzled. He pondered for a moment and said: "The third prince, Shao Zhen, is the most beloved son of the Holy One. Shrewd..."
These are all well-known things, the current crown prince Shao An is only about three years older than Shao Zhen, so the princes are usually together when they receive teachings.
Back then, the Holy Majesty suddenly tested the talents and learning of the princes, the princes stumbled and couldn't recite them, but Shao Zhen didn't rush and recited them fluently.
As a result, news about the third prince's talent and intelligence soon spread, and the opposite was the prince's dullness.
In fact, in Jiang Hong's view, some people are always smarter than others. , Most of their veterans have no other thoughts.
However, the Holy Majesty has become more and more partial to the third prince in recent years, and it seems that he intends to let the third prince do meritorious service, and even let him take over a major case of a refugee riot. Although Shao Zhen did a good job, he acted perversely and cruelly.
In addition, the king of God thought about letting the third prince enter the Imperial Academy to take the post of secretary, but Jiang Hong bluntly refused.
Therefore, Jiang Hong was very displeased with the third prince in his heart. Thinking of some deeds of Shao Zhen before, Jiang Hong paused, and continued: "Although this is the case, the third prince is a bit unscrupulous in his actions, and he is conceited and suspicious." There is no kindness. Heart, Jiang Hong did not say the latter sentence.
After listening to the teacher's evaluation of the third prince, Xie Shu carefully recalled the scene of that day, and couldn't help but recall the Mr. Zheng whose appearance was different from others. Not much difference, and Shao Zhen is still Gu Yuanke's cousin, thinking of Gu Yuanke's care for Mr. Zheng back then, Xie Shu is sure.
It's just that Xie Shu still doesn't understand how he offended this Mr. Zheng that day, so that this "Mr. Zheng" can't forget it. A few months later, he will send someone to suppress him, but these are not what Xie Shu needs to think about now matter.
Someone wants to target him, Xie Shu can't guard against it, this is not his problem, what he should do is to solve all this as soon as possible.
At present, there are not many people Xie Shu can trust, and how many people dare to question the prince and grandson?But the teacher is different. Although Xie Shu has only been with the teacher for a few days, he respects the teacher's character and talent very much, and knows that the teacher understands righteousness and will not blame himself for it.
But Xie Shu still didn't want the teacher to involve too much, so Xie Shu made a series deeply, and said: "The student has indeed encountered a major event, which is related to his wife..."
Xie Shu didn't mention the third prince, but only mentioned that Liu Qiang, the eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, went to Jiangnan Province and deliberately didn't see Yu Chuxi.
Jiang Hong frowned when he heard the words, and his mood changed sharply when he heard it.
He has also met Liu Qiang from the House of Internal Affairs. He is a clever and cunning person. How could he target his student's wife for no reason?
Later, when he heard that Liu Qiang asked the salt merchants to pay for the construction of the palace, Jiang Hong couldn't help showing a bit of anger on his face. One of the reasons they discouraged the Holy Majesty's southern tour before was that the treasury was not abundant, and it was a waste of money for the people. It's so absurd to send people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to blackmail local businessmen!
But soon, Jiang Hong's expression became serious. He squinted his eyes at Xie Shu and said, "Rong Zhan, you asked my third prince several times just now, whether this matter is related to the third prince?"
Xie Shu was taken aback, wondering if he should tell the truth, after all, he didn't have any real evidence, it was just a guess in his heart, who would believe it?
At this time, Jiang Hong said coldly: "If you really think that I am your teacher, don't lie to me again."
Xie Shu had no choice but to say: "Students dare not lie to sir, it's just that this matter is a bit absurd..."
Xie Shu then detailed what happened at the poetry meeting four months ago, during which time he described the appearance of Mr. Zheng.
And Jiang Hong never spoke, just kept silent.
In fact, Jiang Hong saw Xie Shu's serious attitude just now, so he guessed that something was different, but he didn't expect that it was related to the third prince.After listening to Xie Shu's ins and outs, Jiang Hong believed another five points. The time and information were all right. Unexpectedly, Shao Zhen actually used the name of Mr. Zheng to hold the West Garden Poetry Club under the guise of Gu Yuanke. Head to attract customers!
It seems that Shao Zhen and the Gu family have already made preparations.
After Xie Shu finished speaking in one breath, he said helplessly: "Everything the student said just now is the truth. The student doesn't know where he offended Mr. Zheng to bring about today's disaster. I don't know if the teacher is willing to believe the student."
Jiang Hong glared at him, and then said displeasedly: "What's so unbelievable, you don't know the reason, but I know it very well, I can ask you, after he gave you the lottery that day, did you reject him? ?”
Xie Shu naturally knew that the teacher was worthy of Shao Zhen. Xie Shu recalled the situation that day and explained: "Teacher, I did exchange the lottery head with another person, Young Master Cui."
Jiang Hong continued to ask: "Then did he take the initiative to talk to you?"
Xie Shu said with embarrassment: "After I finished writing the poem that day, I wanted to return home as soon as possible. He and Mr. Gu did try to persuade me to stay, but I declined."
Jiang Hong sneered and said: "That's it, you know, he is the son of the Tian family, he has been loved since he was a child, and he has been going smoothly all the time, but he stumbled on you and was humiliated by you in public. How can you let go so easily?"
I see......
But Xie Shu was still a little puzzled and said: "But even so, as a prince, he doesn't have to be so narrow-minded, just deal with me like this..."
Jiang Hong laughed out loud, and then, he looked at himself, a student who hadn't understood it, with deep eyes and said, "Wrong, he's not dealing with you, but trying to recruit you."
If it wasn't for the fact that the teacher hadn't smiled when he said this, Xie Shu almost thought the teacher was joking, how could he be so attractive.
But Xie Shu thought about it and understood.
This Liu Qiang is a member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he does things according to the order. Who would have thought that he and the third prince were involved behind the scenes?
And Liu Qiang aimed at himself, if he didn't have a teacher, who could he ask for?At that time, there is no need for the third prince to come forward, he just needs to send someone over to give charcoal in a timely manner, why won't he remember this kindness in the future...
The person sent by the third prince doesn't even need to reveal his identity, it's okay to reveal it later, after all, facing the pressure from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who is desperate, what else can he care about?
Jiang Hong saw that Xie Shu understood everything, and his face gradually warmed up. He sighed and said: "Rong Zhan, it's not your fault. The third prince covets the position of the crown prince, so he recruits talents everywhere, but he uses such insidious methods by all means. How can he be worthy of a benevolent monarch? If the great cause of the country falls into his hands, it will be bad. It's just that he is a dragon son after all, and he has won the emperor's heart. There is no evidence for such trivial matters, even if he sues the emperor. It's useless. Now it's Liu Qiang who needs to be solved."
Speaking of this, Jiang Hong slowly showed a smile, his eyes flashed coldly, like a sword out of its sheath: "Even if this Liu Qiang is really ordered by the emperor, he shouldn't act so recklessly! There is one more thing he is wrong about. It's Jiang Hong's disciple who messed with me! Although I'm far away from the court now, my reputation is still there. When the Holy Majesty wanted to reuse eunuchs and establish the Nansi, I held a clearing discussion with my friends, and the Holy Majesty had to give in afterward. ..."
When Xie Shu heard this, his heart was also surging. Following Jiang Hong's words, he imagined the grand occasion at that time. This "clear discussion" is a very special event in this world. Comment on the current affairs of the DPRK, and the words in it can influence the public opinion in the village and affect the situation in the world.
Even the emperor did not dare to ignore it, because the previous dynasty was destroyed because the last emperor threw a large number of well-dressed people into the Yellow River, which aroused public outrage. .
The Qing Discussion Movement has always played the role of "inspiring fame and encouraging each other" among the Confucian scholars, so everyone is willing to respond positively. Even if Jiang Hong is not in the capital now, as long as he makes a call, there will be many people from thousands of miles away All the way to Jinling.
But even so, Xie Shu knew clearly that the discussion was not trivial, and Jiang Hong was willing to do this for him. Xie Shu quickly thanked the teacher deeply, and then said: "But teacher, I think there is still a turnaround in this matter. leeway."
Jiang Hong naturally knew that this was just the worst plan.
In fact, this time, in order to persuade the emperor to make a southern tour, he could have launched another clean-up campaign, but the reason why Jiang Hong did not do so was because he knew well that the clean-up campaign was only a temporary solution, not the root cause. Will bring up old things again.Secondly, it was for the Imperial College.
Jiang Hong came back to his senses, remained calm, and signaled Xie Shu to continue talking.
Xie Shu no longer hesitated, and poured out all the thoughts that came up just now: "Teacher can launch a clean-up campaign and influence the situation in the world. This matter is also clear to others, but Liu Qiang still did it. I think he left the capital to take orders. Before, I didn't know that I had become the teacher's disciple."
Two days ago, Xie Shu came to Jiang Hong's residence for the first time, and the teacher-student relationship between Xie Shu and Jiang Hong was only known to others.
During this period, Liu Qiang was still on his way to Jinling, if he hadn't deliberately inquired, he wouldn't have known about it, and the person behind him wouldn't have gotten the news so quickly.
Therefore, Xie Shu guessed: "When Liu Qiang knew about this, he had two countermeasures. One was to report it urgently, and then make remedies according to the subsequent changes in the situation. The second one was that he could still act according to the plan. Will do this for me, and once the teacher has this intention, he will definitely stop immediately..."
Xie Shu suddenly frowned and said: "But the students still have a little puzzlement, that is, who is the third prince's subordinate? Originally, the students guessed that it was the Gu family, but the Gu family should not have missed this point, so the students thought, The Gu family didn't know the inside story about this, and they just imposed a convenience for Liu Qiang."
Hearing this, Jiang Hong also looked at Xie Shu with implicit approval. In this short period of time, Xie Shu was able to think of this, which shows that he is very strategic.
Jiang Hong nodded and said: "Yes, I know Gu Zhong very well. He is the elder brother of Concubine Gu, and a relative of the emperor, but he did not use Concubine Gu to find a court official in Beijing, but came to Jinling Doing salt inspector censor. Don't underestimate the position of inspector salt censor. Although this is only a fourth-rank official position, it collects one-tenth of the national treasury's taxes!
Ten years ago, a major salt administration case broke out in the imperial court. The previous salt censor tampered with the account books and embezzled more than one million taels of silver in a few years. The reason, please ask the sage to let him be the censor of the patrol salt.
In the past ten years, he has been solid in this position, but how much more tax has he paid than the previous one?It can be seen that this person is as cunning as a fox and quite successful, he is definitely not such a reckless person, he is cautious and will not provoke me like this, it can be seen that he does not know.
But Rong Zhan, you don't have to think too much, now the enemy is clear, the initiative is in our hands, just wait quietly for the development of the situation, you'd better stay with me later, and accompany me to meet the guests first. "
Hearing what the teacher said, Xie Shu let out a deep breath, and said in a low voice: "Yes, the teacher is right, then the student will send someone to report to his wife first, so that he won't think about it."
Hearing this, Jiang Hong couldn't help showing a bit of a smile. As a student, he was always inseparable from his husband. It seems that if it wasn't about Yu Chuxi this time, Xie Shu wouldn't be so anxious.
But thinking of the scene when they first met the two of them that day, all this is reasonable again.
Xie Shu was worried that others would go back and report the letter, and let Xi Mo go back.
Ximo also knew how powerful it was, so without saying a word, he left in a hurry with the envelope in his arms.
At this moment, someone outside reported that Mr. Zuo Ran and Wang Jing had arrived.
Zuo Ran is 65 years old, seven or eight years older than Jiang Hong, and has been famous in Jinling for a long time. To show respect, Jiang Hong took Xie Shu to the door to greet him in person.
At the gate of the Jiang Mansion, Wang Jing leaned down and helped an old man with gray hair off the carriage.
At this moment, Wang Jing noticed a young servant walking out of the side door, and Wang Jing recognized this person as Xie Shu's personal servant.
But at this time, why didn't this young man wait for his master, and left Jiang's mansion in a hurry, he must have been ordered by Xie Shu to do something urgent...
Thinking of this, Wang Jing's heart tightened.
On that day, Wang Jing saw that Xie Shu took the first step and had become Jiang Hong's close disciple. In desperation, Wang Jing had no choice but to make friends with Xie Shu first, and find out the ins and outs of it before talking.
But Wang Jing never expected that the plan could not keep up with the changes. He only found out one thing this morning, the third prince actually asked Liu Qiang to put pressure on the Yu family, and then asked him to thank Shu Shien.
And when the person who the third prince placed next to Liu Qiang came to bring him the letter, it was already a step too late...
In fact, the chess move of the third prince is not bad, and Wang Jing is also willing to sell Xie Shu some favors. s student!
What kind of person is Jiang Hong? In the past, the Guozijian sacrificed wine, and scholars all over the world took him as a model. If he could get his appreciation, he would be known as "climbing the dragon's gate". This is different from a teacher who only has a clear name...
Therefore, after learning about this matter, Wang Jing immediately came to the door to see the situation. Unexpectedly, Xie Shu had arrived here early and even sent a servant. Could it be that he saw something?
Wang Jing dare not underestimate Jiang Hong, it seems that everything has changed.
He quietly signaled a follower behind him to follow the servant.
On the other side, in the hall of the Gu family, the house here is deep, with carved beams and painted buildings. There is a red gold Kowloon plaque on the hall, and a line of vermilion characters "Zheng Da hall" is written on it, which is a gift from the imperial pen.
The furnishings here are magnificent and different from other places.
A man in his early forties, with a fair face and wearing a scarlet official robe, was sitting at the head. He was meditating and stroking his beard.
This person was Gu Zhong, the censor of Yanyan, and in front of him, Gu Yuanke also frowned and remained silent.
As early as a few months ago, Gu Zhong received a secret decree from His Majesty, saying that he would come to the south for a tour.
Gu Zhong calculated in his mind that when His Majesty came to Jiangnan, he must come to his house, but how could the emperor live in his old house?Therefore, Gu Zhong still needs to renovate all parts of the house and build another palace.
Gu Zhong couldn't help being very embarrassed by this, he has accumulated a lot of wealth over the years, but how can the emperor's ostentation be small, such spending is like water, even he can't stand it.
But the emperor was not even willing to report this expenditure to the national treasury. If it was in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he would be dissatisfied with him, so Gu Zhong only wanted to think of his own way.
At this time, the third prince Shao Zhen made a suggestion to him, that everything can be settled without his own intervention, all he needs to do is ask the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to summon the salt merchants to pay, and how rich the salt merchants are, Gu Zhong doesn't know what to do. is that clear?
But no matter how rich a businessman is, he is still a businessman after all. They need to rely on him as the censor to feed them, and the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs are in the front.
Who knew something went wrong at this critical moment!
Why did Liu Qiang insist on provoking the Yu family?
The son-in-law of the Yu family has already been accepted as an apprentice by Jiang Hong, how could he be so easy to provoke?
Of course, when Gu Zhong thought about it, he understood who Liu Qiang was ordered by.
At this time, Gu Yuanke couldn't help but said: "Father, this matter must not be made public. It will be bad if it reaches Mr. Jiang's ears. Should we do something?"
Gu Zhong shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's too late! This Xie Shu is not a fool, so he naturally wants to find Jiang Hong."
Gu Yuanke sighed when he heard the words: "When I held the Xiyuan poetry meeting before, I saw that he was talented and learned, and I originally wanted to make friends with him. At that time, he was not Jiang Hong's student, but he was still very indifferent to me. From what I can see, this person has a cold temperament and feels a little lonely."
When Gu Zhong heard this, he felt a little relieved. It is best for a literati to have a literary spirit. Even if such a person has outstanding talents and learning, he will not last long in his official career.
At this time, Gu Yuanke saw that his father showed no signs of anxiety, so he couldn't help but ask, "Father, have you figured out a solution?"
Gu Zhongcai took a sip of Yuqian Longjing slowly and said: "It's nothing, do you know why Jiang Hong resigned in the first place? Why does he have to get involved in this matter for this apprentice he just accepted? Of course, the Yu family's affairs have to be resolved …
How about this, you go there in person and explain the stakes to Liu Qiang, except for the Yu family, the rest of the salt merchants will continue to store them, and we don't need to take action when the time comes, can those salt merchants be able to balance their hearts? "
The author has something to say:
Xie Shu looked at Lang Jun's lips, they were delicate and lustrous, sweet and soft, when he opened and closed slightly, his breath was like orchids.
And the man in his arms, even if Xie Shu didn't need to do anything, he could still feel the man's body limp on his body at this moment, like spring water, like fine snow, like a beam of moonlight scooped up.
Xie Shu's breathing was stagnant, and for some reason he was struggling to hold Lang Jun's hand, and it was clear that Lang Jun's body was leaning against him tightly, weak and boneless.
And when the breaths of the two were intertwined and intertwined, Xie Shu's Adam's apple couldn't help rolling.
Xie Shu slowly tightened his arms.
Yu Chuxi's heart was beating very fast, he could feel Xie Shu's gaze on his lips, and he approached him...
Yu Chuxi's eyelashes trembled violently. At this moment, he thought Xie Shu would kiss him.
But no, Xie Shu looked at him, and stopped suddenly at the moment her thin lips were about to touch him.
Yu Chuxi fell down with a heavy heart, but in the next second, Xie Shu held him in his arms again, and then placed a kiss on his hair. The kiss was as light as falling flowers, soft and unbelievably soft, as if implying Infinite treasure and pity.
Yu Chuxi's whole body trembled suddenly, and his heart was filled with joy that he had never felt before, and he just fell into his arms like this.
After Xie Shu kissed Lang Jun's loose and thick black hair lightly, it was only then that he realized that his actions just now were a bit rude.
However, Xie Shu just looked down at Lang Jun, stretched out his hand, and smoothed Lang Jun's messy temple hair to his jade white ear. He smiled softly and said, "Lang Jun, wait for me to come back."
When Xie Shu arrived at the teacher's house, it was much earlier than usual. After the servants went to report, Xie Shu waited silently in the hall.
When Jiang Hong came out, he saw that the student was sitting there upright, except that his face was sinking like water, and his demeanor was a little different from what he used to describe, there was nothing else.

It was useless for me to dissuade you, but in my opinion, the Holy Majesty should have had this intention long ago, otherwise it would be too late. The third prince will not be sent to Jiangnan four months ago. Rong Zhan, why did you suddenly ask this?"
When Xie Shu heard this, a flash of light flashed in his mind. Four months ago, at that time, he had just arrived in this world, and he was still figuring out everything. The only thing he did that involved other people was to go there. A West Garden poetry meeting.
But at that poetry meeting, besides talking with a few classmates, Xie Shu left early after writing the poem. Could there be other things that he didn't know about?
Xie Shu's heart sank, and he didn't answer the teacher's question immediately, but continued to ask: "Teacher, the student dares to ask, in the teacher's eyes, what kind of person is this Third Prince?"
Three princes?

In fact, in Jiang Hong's view, some people are always smarter than others. , Most of their veterans have no other thoughts.
However, the Holy Majesty has become more and more partial to the third prince in recent years, and it seems that he intends to let the third prince do meritorious service, and even let him take over a major case of a refugee riot. Although Shao Zhen did a good job, he acted perversely and cruelly.
In addition, the king of God thought about letting the third prince enter the Imperial Academy to take the post of secretary, but Jiang Hong bluntly refused.

Jiang Hong saw that Xie Shu understood everything, and his face gradually warmed up. He sighed and said: "Rong Zhan, it's not your fault. The third prince covets the position of the crown prince, so he recruits talents everywhere, but he uses such insidious methods by all means. How can he be worthy of a benevolent monarch? If the great cause of the country falls into his hands, it will be bad. It's just that he is a dragon son after all, and he has won the emperor's heart. There is no evidence for such trivial matters, even if he sues the emperor. It's useless. Now it's Liu Qiang who needs to be solved."
Speaking of this, Jiang Hong slowly showed a smile, his eyes flashed coldly, like a sword out of its sheath: "Even if this Liu Qiang is really ordered by the emperor, he shouldn't act so recklessly! There is one more thing he is wrong about. It's Jiang Hong's disciple who messed with me! Although I'm far away from the court now, my reputation is still there. When the Holy Majesty wanted to reuse eunuchs and establish the Nansi, I held a clearing discussion with my friends, and the Holy Majesty had to give in afterward. ..."
When Xie Shu heard this, his heart was also surging. Following Jiang Hong's words, he imagined the grand occasion at that time. This "clear discussion" is a very special event in this world. Comment on the current affairs of the DPRK, and the words in it can influence the public opinion in the village and affect the situation in the world.
Even the emperor did not dare to ignore it, because the previous dynasty was destroyed because the last emperor threw a large number of well-dressed people into the Yellow River, which aroused public outrage. .
The Qing Discussion Movement has always played the role of "inspiring fame and encouraging each other" among the Confucian scholars, so everyone is willing to respond positively. Even if Jiang Hong is not in the capital now, as long as he makes a call, there will be many people from thousands of miles away All the way to Jinling.
But even so, Xie Shu knew clearly that the discussion was not trivial, and Jiang Hong was willing to do this for him. Xie Shu quickly thanked the teacher deeply, and then said: "But teacher, I think there is still a turnaround in this matter. leeway."
Jiang Hong naturally knew that this was just the worst plan.
In fact, this time, in order to persuade the emperor to make a southern tour, he could have launched another clean-up campaign, but the reason why Jiang Hong did not do so was because he knew well that the clean-up campaign was only a temporary solution, not the root cause. Will bring up old things again.Secondly, it was for the Imperial College.
Jiang Hong came back to his senses, remained calm, and signaled Xie Shu to continue talking.
Xie Shu no longer hesitated, and poured out all the thoughts that came up just now: "Teacher can launch a clean-up campaign and influence the situation in the world. This matter is also clear to others, but Liu Qiang still did it. I think he left the capital to take orders. Before, I didn't know that I had become the teacher's disciple."
Two days ago, Xie Shu came to Jiang Hong's residence for the first time, and the teacher-student relationship between Xie Shu and Jiang Hong was only known to others.
During this period, Liu Qiang was still on his way to Jinling, if he hadn't deliberately inquired, he wouldn't have known about it, and the person behind him wouldn't have gotten the news so quickly.
Therefore, Xie Shu guessed: "When Liu Qiang knew about this, he had two countermeasures. One was to report it urgently, and then make remedies according to the subsequent changes in the situation. The second one was that he could still act according to the plan. Will do this for me, and once the teacher has this intention, he will definitely stop immediately..."
Xie Shu suddenly frowned and said: "But the students still have a little puzzlement, that is, who is the third prince's subordinate? Originally, the students guessed that it was the Gu family, but the Gu family should not have missed this point, so the students thought, The Gu family didn't know the inside story about this, and they just imposed a convenience for Liu Qiang."
Hearing this, Jiang Hong also looked at Xie Shu with implicit approval. In this short period of time, Xie Shu was able to think of this, which shows that he is very strategic.
Jiang Hong nodded and said: "Yes, I know Gu Zhong very well. He is the elder brother of Concubine Gu, and a relative of the emperor, but he did not use Concubine Gu to find a court official in Beijing, but came to Jinling Doing salt inspector censor. Don't underestimate the position of inspector salt censor. Although this is only a fourth-rank official position, it collects one-tenth of the national treasury's taxes!
Ten years ago, a major salt administration case broke out in the imperial court. The previous salt censor tampered with the account books and embezzled more than one million taels of silver in a few years. The reason, please ask the sage to let him be the censor of the patrol salt.
In the past ten years, he has been solid in this position, but how much more tax has he paid than the previous one?It can be seen that this person is as cunning as a fox and quite successful, he is definitely not such a reckless person, he is cautious and will not provoke me like this, it can be seen that he does not know.
But Rong Zhan, you don't have to think too much, now the enemy is clear, the initiative is in our hands, just wait quietly for the development of the situation, you'd better stay with me later, and accompany me to meet the guests first. "
Hearing what the teacher said, Xie Shu let out a deep breath, and said in a low voice: "Yes, the teacher is right, then the student will send someone to report to his wife first, so that he won't think about it."
Hearing this, Jiang Hong couldn't help showing a bit of a smile. As a student, he was always inseparable from his husband. It seems that if it wasn't about Yu Chuxi this time, Xie Shu wouldn't be so anxious.
But thinking of the scene when they first met the two of them that day, all this is reasonable again.
Xie Shu was worried that others would go back and report the letter, and let Xi Mo go back.
Ximo also knew how powerful it was, so without saying a word, he left in a hurry with the envelope in his arms.
At this moment, someone outside reported that Mr. Zuo Ran and Wang Jing had arrived.
Zuo Ran is 65 years old, seven or eight years older than Jiang Hong, and has been famous in Jinling for a long time. To show respect, Jiang Hong took Xie Shu to the door to greet him in person.
At the gate of the Jiang Mansion, Wang Jing leaned down and helped an old man with gray hair off the carriage.
At this moment, Wang Jing noticed a young servant walking out of the side door, and Wang Jing recognized this person as Xie Shu's personal servant.
But at this time, why didn't this young man wait for his master, and left Jiang's mansion in a hurry, he must have been ordered by Xie Shu to do something urgent...
Thinking of this, Wang Jing's heart tightened.
On that day, Wang Jing saw that Xie Shu took the first step and had become Jiang Hong's close disciple. In desperation, Wang Jing had no choice but to make friends with Xie Shu first, and find out the ins and outs of it before talking.
But Wang Jing never expected that the plan could not keep up with the changes. He only found out one thing this morning, the third prince actually asked Liu Qiang to put pressure on the Yu family, and then asked him to thank Shu Shien.
And when the person who the third prince placed next to Liu Qiang came to bring him the letter, it was already a step too late...
In fact, the chess move of the third prince is not bad, and Wang Jing is also willing to sell Xie Shu some favors. s student!
What kind of person is Jiang Hong? In the past, the Guozijian sacrificed wine, and scholars all over the world took him as a model. If he could get his appreciation, he would be known as "climbing the dragon's gate". This is different from a teacher who only has a clear name...
Therefore, after learning about this matter, Wang Jing immediately came to the door to see the situation. Unexpectedly, Xie Shu had arrived here early and even sent a servant. Could it be that he saw something?
Wang Jing dare not underestimate Jiang Hong, it seems that everything has changed.
He quietly signaled a follower behind him to follow the servant.
On the other side, in the hall of the Gu family, the house here is deep, with carved beams and painted buildings. There is a red gold Kowloon plaque on the hall, and a line of vermilion characters "Zheng Da hall" is written on it, which is a gift from the imperial pen.
The furnishings here are magnificent and different from other places.
A man in his early forties, with a fair face and wearing a scarlet official robe, was sitting at the head. He was meditating and stroking his beard.
This person was Gu Zhong, the censor of Yanyan, and in front of him, Gu Yuanke also frowned and remained silent.
As early as a few months ago, Gu Zhong received a secret decree from His Majesty, saying that he would come to the south for a tour.
Gu Zhong calculated in his mind that when His Majesty came to Jiangnan, he must come to his house, but how could the emperor live in his old house?Therefore, Gu Zhong still needs to renovate all parts of the house and build another palace.
Gu Zhong couldn't help being very embarrassed by this, he has accumulated a lot of wealth over the years, but how can the emperor's ostentation be small, such spending is like water, even he can't stand it.
But the emperor was not even willing to report this expenditure to the national treasury. If it was in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he would be dissatisfied with him, so Gu Zhong only wanted to think of his own way.
At this time, the third prince Shao Zhen made a suggestion to him, that everything can be settled without his own intervention, all he needs to do is ask the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to summon the salt merchants to pay, and how rich the salt merchants are, Gu Zhong doesn't know what to do. is that clear?
But no matter how rich a businessman is, he is still a businessman after all. They need to rely on him as the censor to feed them, and the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs are in the front.
Who knew something went wrong at this critical moment!
Why did Liu Qiang insist on provoking the Yu family?
The son-in-law of the Yu family has already been accepted as an apprentice by Jiang Hong, how could he be so easy to provoke?
Of course, when Gu Zhong thought about it, he understood who Liu Qiang was ordered by.
At this time, Gu Yuanke couldn't help but said: "Father, this matter must not be made public. It will be bad if it reaches Mr. Jiang's ears. Should we do something?"
Gu Zhong shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's too late! This Xie Shu is not a fool, so he naturally wants to find Jiang Hong."
Gu Yuanke sighed when he heard the words: "When I held the Xiyuan poetry meeting before, I saw that he was talented and learned, and I originally wanted to make friends with him. At that time, he was not Jiang Hong's student, but he was still very indifferent to me. From what I can see, this person has a cold temperament and feels a little lonely."
When Gu Zhong heard this, he felt a little relieved. It is best for a literati to have a literary spirit. Even if such a person has outstanding talents and learning, he will not last long in his official career.
At this time, Gu Yuanke saw that his father showed no signs of anxiety, so he couldn't help but ask, "Father, have you figured out a solution?"
Gu Zhongcai took a sip of Yuqian Longjing slowly and said: "It's nothing, do you know why Jiang Hong resigned in the first place? Why does he have to get involved in this matter for this apprentice he just accepted? Of course, the Yu family's affairs have to be resolved …
How about this, you go there in person and explain the stakes to Liu Qiang, except for the Yu family, the rest of the salt merchants will continue to store them, and we don't need to take action when the time comes, can those salt merchants be able to balance their hearts? "
