"I see."

After listening to Shen Ji's explanation of the cause of the incident, Li Yunyao's expression was unpredictable.

Shen Ji thought she would blame him for not telling him immediately, but she didn't say anything, which made Shen Ji feel more uneasy: "Don't you blame me for making my own decisions?"

"I'm just a little surprised that you will deal with this matter in such a gentle way."

In Li Yunyao's impression, Shen Ji's hot-tempered personality might have gone to Wu's house to go to war right after he found out the source of the rumor, how could he have endured it for so long?

It can be seen that Shen Ji has indeed calmed down a lot, and his mind has become more mature and rational.

Seeing Shen Ji being praised so much, he smiled openly and wanted to raise his tail, Li Yunyao said again: "I didn't mean to praise you, don't get carried away."

Shen Ji tugged at her sleeves, hooked her fingers, and said fawningly: "I didn't do this to get your praise, I really can't tolerate Wu Lao San spreading rumors to harm you!"

Shen Ji defended her so much, saying that she was not touched was a lie.Li Yunyao said: "Didn't he make up rumors about the two of us? How did you pick yourself out?"

"What are the rumors about me? I am not a man, so I naturally don't care what they say is 'inhumane'. But you are different. People in the world, especially Confucian scholars, like to use chastity to kidnap and kill women. I How can you just watch them kill you? I will protect you and not let any of them hurt you."

Li Yunyao was moved by her sincere words, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth unconsciously.

Sitting on the couch with Shen Ji for a while, Li Yunyao said: "It seems that I can't always be immersed in the sea of ​​books, it's time to go out and have a look, otherwise the rumors outside are well known, and my client Still kept in the dark."

Shen Ji also hoped that Li Yunyao could go out and walk around more, so he didn't stop him.

The young couple decided to find a chance to go to Changqing Building to watch Zaju again. Changqing Building arranged a performance for seven days, and it was still publicized at the wharf where people come and go. Qinglou's free tea, so crowds and file in.

In just a few days, this drama spread to the common people in Bianliang, and woodcutters picking firewood and shopkeepers selling sundries could sing a few lines from it casually.

Some scholars noticed the story in this drama, and couldn't help but think of the legendary story "The Story of Yingying" written by Yuan Zhen in Tang Dynasty, so they used the tone of female boudoir resentment to express their underappreciated poems.

However, some people noticed that the Wu family behind Wu Sanlang was not mentioned in the whole drama, but it pointed out the indifference of the Wu family, because Mrs. Li served her in-laws carefully and caringly, and no one said anything wrong with her. Pure and filial, but the Li family lost power, and their son wanted to divorce his wife, but they didn't stop him, which shows that they are also followers of power.

The parents-in-law are mean and indifferent, and the son is heartless and ungrateful. The Wu family is even more shameless than that rascal.

After all this, the story of Wu Sanlang, a ruthless and ungrateful man, reached the ears of the Wu family. They vaguely felt that this drama was alluding to something.

The Wu family's ancestral home is Taiyuan, so isn't the wealthy Wu family in Taiyuan alluding to the Wu family?

Then there is Li Shi, the granddaughter of Li Jing, the Duke of Wei. Although Li Jurun is compared to Li Jing, Li Jurun is a high-ranking minister, but Li Jurun was also an important minister before Zhou Shizong and Zhao Boss. Master, you can see its glory.

Therefore, the allusion to Li Yunyao by Li Jing's granddaughter can also be explained.

As for the Wu Xing Shen family, it has nothing to do with the Taikang Shen family, but who made the Shen family a rich family now?Its sect even surpassed Wu Xingshen's.

Coupled with all the descriptions in the story, the Wu family is sure that this drama is alluding to the fact that the Wu family resigned from the marriage contract with the Li family because they were becoming popular. After Li Yunyao married Shen Ji, Wu Sanlang came to see him. After being rejected, he angrily reprimanded Li Yunyao for giving and accepting with Shen Ji...

"Who wrote this drama?!" Mrs. Wu was very angry.Although it was true that they divorced because of the Li family's loss of power, how could they not make her angry when someone tore the fig leaf off her body? !

"I don't know who wrote it. It was arranged and performed in Changqing Building." Wu Yuanfu said.

"A mere lowly businessman dares to shoot at our Wu family? Is it true that when our Wu family loses power, we can be bullied at will?!"

"Yes, let's take someone to demolish his Changqing Building!" Wu Jiaerlang shouted angrily.

Wu Yuanfu felt that this was not an easy matter. Changqinglou's campaign to attract people to watch dramas was clearly done on purpose.And their Wu family has no entanglement with the Jing family behind Changqinglou, and the other party will not target them for no reason, so there must be other driving forces behind this.

He tended to think that this was the work of the Shen family, but why did the Shen family suddenly attack?He thinks this needs to be looked into.

He said: "Wait a minute, don't be impulsive. I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. It still needs to be investigated carefully. After we figure out what's going on, we can make a long-term plan."

"What are you waiting for? Some people have already started talking about our Wu family, saying that our Wu family is ungrateful and ungrateful. Just find a reason to have the shopkeeper of Changqinglou arrested and tortured. What else can't be found out?" Wu Erlang said.

Wu Yuanfu looked at Wu Yuanfan who said nothing, "Third brother, do you have any clues?"

Wu Yuanfan's body trembled, and he covered it up and said, "No, I also support Second Brother's statement."

If he hadn't withdrawn the zaju in Changqinglou earlier, I'm afraid his reputation would be ruined!

He vaguely knew that Shen Ji did it, but he didn't think it was caused by him, so he felt more resentment towards Shen Ji in his heart.

Wu Yuanfu was much more cautious than Wu Erlang, and thought more: "No, we have just returned to Beijing after observing filial piety, and the situation in Beijing and China is changing, we should keep a low profile and go to Changqing Building with such a big fanfare to make trouble, I'm afraid it will cause trouble upper body."

"But brother, when we returned to Beijing with great difficulty, it was time to try to win over father's old friends and uncles. If these rumors affect their views on our family, who would want to have anything to do with us? Who would want to get involved with us? Will you still say good things to us in front of the officials, and let us fill in the officials?"

Although what the eldest son said was reasonable, Mrs. Wu still stood by the second son for the sake of the future and reputation of her sons.She said: "Even if we don't go to Changqing Building to make trouble, we still have to report to the officials to stop the drama in Changqing Building and ask Changqing Building to give us an explanation."

Wu Yuanfu said: "Then let me go to Changqing Building to negotiate with the shopkeeper. It would be best if they are willing to stop this drama. If they are not willing to stop, then follow what the second brother said!"

So when Shen Ji and Li Yunyao went to Changqing Building to watch Zaju, one moment before Shen Ji was commenting on the actor's acting and singing skills, and the next second he saw Wu Yuanfu leading an official in official uniform.

The shopkeeper of Changqing Tower obviously recognized the official, and rushed to greet him with a bright smile: "Lu Hu Cao, are you here today to perform official duties or have tea?"

That Luhu Cao glanced at him, and saw the scene of Wu Sanlang's divorce of his wife being performed on the stage, he couldn't help shouting: "Stop!"

The man knew that Luhu Cao's visitor was not kind today, so he hurriedly sent someone to find Jing Jiuniang.

But the stage had to stop the performance because of Lu Hucao's stop, which made the people who were already outraged by the plot of divorcing their wives even more angry, and couldn't help but point the finger at Lu Hucao: "Why should you stop?"

The people at the foot of the Son of Heaven are much more courageous than the people in remote places. They know that if they have grievances, they can go to the Dengwengu, so they are not afraid of Lu Hucao, who is known to be a low-level official at first glance, so they will still be merciless when it is time to hate him. No mercy.

Lu Hucao was so annoyed by their backlash that Jing Jiuniang came out at that moment. On the one hand, she comforted the restless people, and on the other hand, she invited Wu Yuanfu and Lu Hucao into the cubicle for a conversation.

Lu Hu Cao was a member of the Kaifeng government and participated in the military. He was in charge of household registration, marriage, taxation, fields and warehouses, and sometimes he was in charge of litigation with Si Lu joining the army.Therefore, it is not the first day for him to deal with Jing Jiuniang. He knows that Jing Jiuniang can gain a foothold in Kaifeng and open such a large restaurant, and there are people behind him.

But Wu Yuanfu was more worthy of curry favor and win over than Jing Jiuniang, that's why he chose to take this muddy water.

"Someone sued you that the zaju performed in Changqinglou alluded to Wu Shizhong's Wu family and slandered the Wu family. Now we have ordered your Changqinglou to stop the performance of this zaju and explained to everyone that the Wu family in this zaju has nothing to do with Wu Shizhong. It doesn’t matter, you have to apologize to the Wu family.” Lu Hu Cao simply explained the purpose of coming.

Jing Jiuniang was not surprised, she just looked at Wu Yuanfu with a smile: "May I ask why inspector Wu thinks the story told in this drama is alluding to the Wu family?"

Wu Yuanfu frowned: "You know it well, do you still need me to point it out?"

"General Wu, we are not in the mood to wrong people with empty words."

"Are you planning to fight against our Wu family?"

Jing Jiuniang calmly said, "Inspector Wu said without evidence that our zaju was alluding to the Wu family, and accused us of being against you. We can't bear the false accusation of this piece of paper."

Wu Yuanfu stared coldly at this merchant woman whom he regarded as a low-class business woman, and said, "Okay, if you don't want to tear up this drama, you should tell me who arranged it."

"Sorry we have nothing to say."

Even someone as calm as Wu Yuanfu was annoyed by Jing Jiuniang's impeccable rhetoric: "Are you really not afraid of death? Very good!"

Although he didn't want to cause trouble, he couldn't allow a merchant to ride on his head. ——Although he is only a military officer, his uncle is the commander of the Chengde Army's horse infantry, and his uncle is the commander of Long Jie. These are all officers in charge of the military. With their support, he has no need to be afraid of this little boy merchants and the forces behind them.

Jing Jiuniang pursed her lips. When she opposed the Wu family, it was natural that she would use an egg to hit a stone. However, she could not betray Shen Ji and Li Yunyao, nor could she confess them, because confessing them would be tantamount to admitting that this drama was alluding to the Wu family.

At this time, the door of the compartment was knocked, and Shen Ji's voice sounded outside the door: "I heard that someone is looking for me?"

Jing Jiuniang was taken aback, and Wu Yuanfu frowned even more tightly.

After a while, Jing Jiuniang went to open the door, and Shen Ji came in carelessly. Seeing Wu Yuanfu, she smiled: "Wu Dalang, long time no see!"

"It's you." Wu Yuanfu figured it out in an instant.

That's right, knowing the past of the Wu family and the Li family's divorce, deliberately targeting the Wu family, and writing about how happy the marriage was after the Li family married Shen's son, who else could there be besides the Li and Shen families? !

But when and where did their Wu family provoke Shen Ji, and "he" wanted to slander their Wu family's reputation like this?

"it's me!"

Jing Jiuniang hesitated to speak, and Shen Ji looked at her: "One person does the work and the other person is in charge. The drama I wrote is just for you to perform on stage. How can I let you bear the blame and face the threats and persecution of these officials?" Woolen cloth!"

Shen Ji often haunts Bianliang, Luhu Cao naturally recognizes her, so when he learned that the person behind Jing Jiuniang was actually Shen Ji, he regretted coming to this muddy water very much.

"How about it, how is my level? Is the story you wrote very exciting and touching?" Shen Ji smiled playfully, not restraining himself at all.

"You!" Wu Yuanfu was really annoyed, but after knowing that it was Shen Ji, he knew that he might not be able to use his power and connections to solve this matter.

"So you are really alluding to our Wu family?" Wu Yuanfu suppressed his anger, "We asked ourselves that we didn't provoke you, why did you do such a despicable thing?"

Shen Ji only felt that Wu Yuanfu's hypocrisy was ridiculous.

Could Wu Yuanfu deny the Wu family's divorce?And when his younger brother spread rumors about others, slandered others, and made others the laughing stock of noble children, why didn't he stand up and tell his younger brother that this was a despicable thing?When you wantonly trample on other people's reputation and face, why don't you think about whether there will be retribution?

Shen Ji put away his smile, his eyes were cold and sharp: "Before you ask me why I did this, why don't you ask your good brother, how did Wu Laosan slander me and my wife outside? I just said what you did to us It’s all about repaying the matter, why can’t you bear it? You also know that you want fame? If you dare to love me and my wife, you don’t need it?”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Wu Yuanfu was stern, because Wu Yuanfan was involved, and he didn't know what this younger brother did.

"I'm talking nonsense? You can find any noble family and ask about the rumors about me, and you will know what Wu Laosan has done!" Shen Ji chuckled, "And you should feel lucky, glad that I haven't let me Father knows about this, otherwise if he knows how others have ruined the reputation of his son and the Shen family outside, I am afraid it will not be as simple as asking me to write a drama."

Wu Yuanfu's lips were drawn into a line, he was eager to find out what happened, he no longer wanted to confront Shen Ji, and left in a hurry.

Lu Hucao swallowed his saliva and ran away in despair.

After they left, Shen Ji apologized to Jing Jiuniang: "I have caused trouble for Jing Jiuniang."

Jing Jiuniang smiled slightly, and said, "Mrs. Yan is kind to me. I'm just doing a little favor. What's the matter with Mr. Shen Xiaolang?"

Shen Ji smiled, and then Li Yunyao also appeared to thank Jing Jiuniang, and finally, looked at Shen Ji: "You shouldn't have stopped me just now."

"If you confront Wu Yuanfu, he will only think that you are vicious and slandered Wu Sanlang in order to cover up the fact that you are not a woman. They are prejudiced against you, so no matter what you say, they will only believe one-third of it. Rather than letting you be insulted by him, you might as well let me have a good fight with him."

Jing Jiuniang showed an expression of appreciation, obviously agreeing with Shen Ji's statement.

Li Yunyao said helplessly: "All right, but I won't make an example."

Jing Jiuniang smiled slightly: "I thought about it just now. This drama will only run for seven days, and many people won't enjoy watching it, so I plan to perform it for a month. How about it?"

She, Jing Jiuniang, is very cautious.

Shen Ji said: "Then the business of Changqing Building will be affected? This is not acceptable, you cannot make a loss-making business."

Jing Jiuniang shook her head: "These are just a small amount of money, which will not affect the business of Changqing Building. Moreover, this time, more people will know about Changqing Building, which is also profitable for Changqing Building."

……

Let's say that after Wu Yuanfu came home, he angrily called Wu Yuanfan, and scolded him immediately: "Look at what you've done!"

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Wu asked puzzledly: "Didn't you go to Changqing Building? Did the matter get resolved? Why did you get angry at the third child as soon as you came back?"

Wu Yuanfu pointed at Wu Yuanfan: "You have to ask him why he provoked Shen Jizong."

Wu Yuanfan clenched his hands into fists: Sure enough, Shen Jizong did it!

Mrs. Wu learned from Wu Yuanfu that the drama was written by Shen Ji, and Shen Ji said that all of this was because the third child provoked them, so she retaliated.She hurriedly asked her third son: "What have you done?"

Wu Yuanfan looked aggrieved: "What can I do? I just wanted to go to Li's house to look for Li Yunyao, but I learned that she married Shen Ji while I was keeping my filial piety. I went to her to ask for an explanation, but I didn't expect It was seen, so some rumors spread..."

Wu Yuanfu and Mrs. Wu were taken aback for a moment, and they looked at each other, feeling guilty.

At that time Li Yunyao wrote a letter to Wu Yuanfan, explaining her marriage with Shen Ji, and also explaining that she had no intentions for Wu Yuanfan.It was they who were worried that Wu Yuanfan would cause some scandal during the filial period, so they concealed him.Afterwards they all forgot about it, and thought that with the passage of time, Wu Yuanfan's affection for Li Yunyao also faded, who would have thought that he would run to the Shen's house without a word after returning to Beijing?

It was naturally impossible for them to tell him that they intercepted Wu Yuanfan's letter. If they told him, it might cause family conflicts.

And they also thought that what they did was for Wu Yuanfan's benefit, so they never mentioned these things.

"Then why did Shen Jizong insist that you were the one who created the rumors?" Wu Yuanfu asked again.

Naturally, it was impossible for Wu Yuanfan to tell his mother and elder brother that he did it deliberately by drinking to vent his personal anger.If the family members know that the Wu family's reputation has been ruined because of his unwillingness and personal anger, he must have no good fruit to eat!

He said with certainty: "It must be Shen Jizong and other adulterers, prostitutes, and shameless people who deliberately framed and framed him!"

Mrs. Wu and Wu Yuanfu also couldn't tell whether he was lying or not. It's just that people have selfishness, and they are no exception. Compared with what Shen Ji, who had grievances with outsiders, said, they naturally chose to believe their close relatives.

"Mother, brother, I know I was wrong, I shouldn't have gone to Shen's house, I shouldn't have given them a chance to slander me..." Wu Yuanfan began to admit his mistake again.

Mrs. Wu sighed: "It's Shen Jizong who is deceiving people too much."

"What should we do now?" Wu Yuanfu also had a headache.

"Why don't we also ask people to write dramas to deal with them?" Wu Yuanfan said.

"This is picking up people's teeth, and if we go to write Zaju, we have already fallen behind." Wu Yuanfu frowned, "For the current plan, we must either go to Shen Shumi or Xianyou Junjun, or wait for the storm to pass."

"Are we going to swallow it?" Mrs. Wu was a little unwilling.

"Otherwise, what else can we do? Prime Minister Zhao has been dismissed, and people in the court are panicked and unable to take care of themselves. Who can help us?" Wu Yuanfu paused, "Maybe we can go to the officials..."

"No!" Wu Yuanfan stopped in a panic.

If Boss Zhao finds out, then with his temperament, he will definitely investigate to the end. When it is found out that he is the fault, then it will really implicate the Wu family!

Wu Yuanfu and Mrs. Wu looked at him puzzled, and he quibbled: "Brother also said that Prime Minister Zhao was dismissed recently, so the official family must have very troublesome things to deal with, how can we take such trivial matters Go bother him!"

Mrs. Wu finally made up her mind: "The old man will go to find Lord Xianyou another day. If he can communicate with her, with her intervention, I believe this matter can be resolved."

However, before she could go to Yan Shu, Boss Zhao finally decided on the prime minister after many days of consideration.

I thought that the prime minister would come from Xue Zheng'an and Lu Yuqing, but what people didn't expect was that not long after Zhao Ping was dismissed as prime minister, Lu Yuqing asked to resign on the grounds of physical illness.

Unlike Liu Xigu who only got permission after submitting letters four times, Lu Yuqing almost submitted a letter to ask for his appointment, Zhao Boss agreed, relieved him from the position of deputy prime minister, and then dismissed him as Shangshu Zuocheng.

Shangshu Zuo Cheng was transferred to the official rank, and he was the fourth rank, under the six ministers.Liu Xigu became an official with the rank of Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and Lu Yuqing's treatment is obviously not as good as Liu Xigu's.

After agreeing to Lu Yuqing's resignation, Boss Zhao worshiped Xue Zheng'an as his servant and Tongping Zhangshi on the same day, and worshiped Shen Yilu as Zhongshu's servant and Tongping Zhangshi.

That is to say, Xue Zhengan and Shen Yilu became the new prime ministers of Song Dynasty on the same day.
