Nongmen Shenjue

Wen Jixue didn't say another word to the other party, nor gave him another look, and left the prison.

He heard Cai Junchi's crazy laughter coming from the prison, resentment, unwillingness, pain, and ferocity, all kinds of emotions intertwined, mixed with the rattling of chains, shouting and cursing of jailers, and the whistling of whips in the air, hitting the prisoner. dullness in man.The prison guards' suppression did not change Cai Junchi's condition. Until he left the prison and all the voices disappeared, the guards were still trying to "control" the prisoners.

Originally, I regretted what I said to Cai Junchi, because I didn't want to expose my identity and cause trouble.

Seeing Cai Junchi's reaction is not a bad thing.

For a person like Cai Junchi, the death penalty and the extermination of his family are all within his tolerance, at least he has envisioned the outcome if he fails.But now, with a living Xueji standing in front of him, and able to calmly walk into the prison to listen to his interrogation, defeating all his defenses, death will not be peaceful.

Cai Junchi will die, and the Cai family will be wiped out, leaving behind a reputation that will last forever.

The Xue family of Duke Hu's mansion is gone, but the eldest son Xue Ji is still alive, and the Xue family's grievances will be cleared up.

Cai Junchi's plan was in vain and lost.

This is what Cai Junchi can't accept until his death.

The law of heaven is clear, and the retribution is not good.

The sky has turned pale, and it is almost dawn.

Although most of the shops in the market are closed, you can hear the busy sound inside, especially the morning stalls, which have to start preparing early.Occasionally there are passers-by, who are listless and smirking, most of them have stayed overnight and have not returned home, or they have come out of gambling houses or brothels.There are also Yexiang cars walking along the street, trying to get out of the city when the sky is bright, after all, this job doesn't smell good.There are also waterwheels that move around. The rich and powerful in the city must use good water for tea, so they naturally choose mountain springs in the mountains outside the city.

Wen Jixue walked from the street, went around many places, and finally returned to her residence.

It wasn't that he deliberately went around, but that he walked around unconsciously with a blank mind.As the sky got brighter and there were more and more people, I calmed down my thoughts.

As soon as he stood in front of the small courtyard door, the courtyard door opened.

Mu Qingyan heard his footsteps and observed his expression, it was better than expected.

"Have you made breakfast yet?" Wen Jixue smiled, as if she had lifted a heavy burden.

"Go and wash first." Mu Qingyan waited for him to come back, and when he had nothing to do, he just cooked to pass the time.

Wen Jixue walked into the house, and Gao Tian went to get hot water.

Jiao Li went out for a while, then came back and said, "No one followed."

Mu Qingyan nodded, he also believed in Wen Jixue's ability, but Wen Jixue was in a bad mood, so he was more cautious.

Breakfast is white rice porridge and fried buns. Dried radish sticks are served with chili oil as a side dish. It has a special flavor and is served with rice.

The decoction buns were not big, Wen Jixue ate about twenty of them and drank a bowl of porridge, and then she became sleepy and went back to the room to catch up on sleep.

Before lunch, Wen Jixue woke up, cautiously recovering well.

The two talked about what happened last night.

Wen Jixue said: "The matter of the Yan family is easy to talk about. I guess I will handle the matter with the Xue family. Originally, if it wasn't for the deal between me and the new emperor, the matter of the Xue family would not have been revealed. Since the new emperor promised, then follow the trend It is more convenient and trouble-free to take care of the affairs of the Yan family together. After all, it was brought out by Concubine Hui's mother and son. It can be inferred that Cai Junchi took the initiative to confess when Cai Junchi was interrogated.

Furthermore, the eldest princess may contribute to the matters of the Yan family. "

The eldest princess has only met Mu Qingyan twice, but this is enough to show that the other party takes the Yan family's affairs to heart.If the eldest princess really can't hold on anymore, she will definitely do something.The new emperor is considered to be the younger generation of the eldest princess, and there was no conflict between the two parties in the past. The new emperor actually slapped the first emperor in the face of the Xue family case. The first daughter, the new emperor's first sister, the new emperor also has a good reputation for giving preferential treatment.

Furthermore, although the new emperor ascended the throne smoothly, it is not that simple to sort out the court.

Whenever the throne changes, there will be ups and downs among the officials in the court, which is related to factions.In the court today, there are people from all walks of life, small fish and small shrimps can be ignored, but some people in important positions, the emperor is not at ease, and if he wants to replace them, he must have a good reason.

The Yan family was the head of civil servants back then, if the matter of the Yan family is investigated, certain people must be involved.The emperor can move some people's positions according to the situation, so passive things can actually benefit from it.

This is the same as dealing with the matter of the Xue family.

Xindi is very open-minded in this regard and will self-regulate. Since things are inevitable, try to show its good side.Just as the first emperor thought, the new emperor is not the aggressive kind of person. Generally speaking, his handling methods are peaceful and generous, but there is no lack of decisiveness at critical moments. He has gone through a series of times and is indeed the most suitable for succession people.

Early the next morning, the eldest princess came to announce the funeral, and the eldest princess went last night.

It was Manager Zhang from last time who came to report the funeral. He talked about the funeral arrangements, and said that the eldest princess walked very peacefully, which was Fu Jingchun's order.

Yao Zhan and Rong Du from Songping Mansion failed to reach the capital, it was still too late.

Two days later, someone came to the door.

The people who came were the uncles and nephews of the Yan family. When they first arrived in the capital, they first met Fu Jingchun and found out where Mu Qingyan lived, so they came over.

"Little Four!" Yao Zhan saw Mu Qingyan for the first time, but as Rong Du said, he would definitely recognize him at first sight.Rong Du had never met his young grandfather Yan Zhihe back then, but when he saw Mu Qingyan, he felt familiar. Yao Zhan grew up under Yan Zhihe's nose. The brothers were all enlightened by Yan Zhihe, how could they not be familiar with him.

"Uncle." Although Rong Du was still a year older, he was not embarrassed by the address, and was generous.

Although Mu Qingyan is not the original body, he has a keen sense and can feel the ups and downs of the two people in front of him.Furthermore, he still has a good impression of the Yan family, so when he met the two of them, he also felt a little kind.

"Third brother." Mu Qingyan smiled and invited the two into the room.

Although it was the first time for the three of them to meet, and it was the first time they had known each other for many years, since they had heard about each other for a long time, and they were both men, there were no tears in their eyes, at most it was Yao Zhan's red eyes, which made him more emotional.In comparison, when the accident happened to the Yan family, Mu Qingyan and Rong Du were both at an uninformed age, only Yao Zhan was sixteen or seventeen years old, and his temperament changed drastically.

It's not bad, it's a blessing that Yao Zhan doesn't have any hostility.

Wen Jixue was not there, so she avoided it on purpose so that they could talk.

Yao Zhan's real name is Yan Zhan, and although he did not bring any family members with him when he came back to the capital, he brought along servants in charge, so he had some plans.The only thing I didn't expect the eldest princess to go so soon, even though I knew that the eldest princess was not in good health, I thought it would be another two years.Similarly, the situation in Beijing and China is changing really fast.

Yan Zhan said: "Before the eldest princess died, she met the emperor and asked for one thing, and the emperor agreed."

"About the Yan family?" Mu Qingyan immediately guessed.

Yan Zhan nodded: "The eldest princess asks the emperor to re-investigate the case of the Yan family's ambush."

The case of the Yan family is different from the case of the Xue family. The Yan family was subjugated and investigated back then, but it was anticlimactic and shelved.It is only a matter of the emperor's words to investigate again now.Similarly, Yan Zhan and others, who escaped by chance, are not afraid of revealing their identities, but will be compensated and favored by the court.

Mu Qingyan asked doubts in his heart: "What did Concubine Hui do in it?"

Yan Zhan obviously understood it from Fu Jingchun, and sighed: "Concubine Hui? She just planted a seed in the heart of the former emperor."

After the Xue family incident, the first emperor's health was not good, and he was critically ill.How could the emperor spare his life, but unfortunately, no method was effective, and when he encountered a vision from the sky, he was even more suspicious of urging his life.

Concubine Hui bribed the people of Qin Tianjian, but when the emperor asked, she hesitated to speak, and then told the emperors in history how to deal with the vision.

The emperor may not be unaware of such rumors, and he may have even thought about it in his heart, but he can't say it, and he is not a faint king.When someone mentioned it, the emperor would also reprimand him to show his righteousness.But when the condition became more and more serious, and it seemed that she couldn't survive it, the thoughts in her heart would be shaken, and she even felt that the queen had been ill for so many years, and it would be a good thing if she died at this time.

After all, they are the original couple, they have been together for many years, how can they really have no feelings.

It's just that when one's own life is at stake, one's own self is the most important.

Concubine Hui also did one thing, flattering and killing the Empress Yuan.Empress Yuan has been ill for many years, and has been intermittently getting better, but not getting worse. Concubine Hui secretly spread the word that Empress Yuan was protected by the emperor's dragon spirit.For a long time, "bathing the emperor's favor" and "accepting the emperor's blessing" are all flattering words that show the emperor's ability and ability, but when I listen to it now, I have a different feeling, as if the empress of the Yuan Dynasty absorbed the dragon's energy to prolong her life. damage the emperor himself.

Although it was the emperor who made the final decision, Concubine Hui played a significant role in promoting it.

Concubine Hui accurately grasped the emperor's mind.

When the emperor learned later, did he regret what he had done to the Empress Yuan, or did he resent that he was "manipulated" by Concubine Hui?

This resentment continued to King Xianjun, which made the emperor directly cut off the qualification of King Xianjun to succeed to the throne.The mother is more expensive than the child, and vice versa.Even Concubine Hui's mother's family was disgusted, and the emperor personally made an order before his death, which is why.

As for the one who ambushed and killed the Yan family, it was indeed Concubine Wen.

The emperor had an idea in his heart, but he didn't want to do it himself, so he deliberately gave Concubine Wen a chance.Concubine Wen leaked the news of the Yan family's business accident to Empress Yuan, and Empress Yuan fell ill because of it, so she didn't carry it over.The reason why he didn't carry it over, maybe the emperor secretly wrote it, but Concubine Wen was responsible.

As for the reason why Concubine Wen attacked the Yan family, it was because of cutting grass and roots and profit.

Concubine Wen didn't know what the emperor was doing in secret, and mistakenly thought that her words had stimulated the Empress Yuan, leading to her death.After all, it is the Empress of the Yuan Dynasty, and the Yan family has a profound heritage. If there is a comeback, she will be the first to bear the brunt.Therefore, Concubine Wen ordered to attack the Yan family, not only to eradicate future troubles, but also to make her family's interests more stable.

As everyone knows, after Concubine Wen there is an emperor, and after the emperor there is Concubine Hui.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows behind, that's all.

When they learned all the truth, all the Yan family felt was helplessness and sadness.

"I plan to open the restaurant to the capital." Although Yan Zhan changed his name and surname before, he became a businessman after all, so he is not suitable to be an official again.Rongdu is suitable, although he is a nephew, but once the family is separated, the imperial examination will not hinder him, and the court will give compensation, so he will have a good position.

However, Rong Du refused.

"I don't like being an official. It's boring. Besides, it's the emperor's order to find out what happened to the Yan family. After all, it touches the interests of many people. It's definitely uncomfortable to be an official. It's better to be cold and wait for the next generation." Then the imperial examination to become an official. The Yan family can't afford to wait, there are still side branches in the ancestral land."

Yan Zhan knew these words a long time ago, so he no longer expressed anything, but only looked at Mu Qingyan: "What is Xiaosi's plan?"
