The news of Yun Rui and Lu Cheng's engagement reached Shen Yuan's ears. Shen Yuan was happy for them from the bottom of her heart and wanted to go to Yun's house to congratulate her in person. However, it was almost lunch time, so she had no choice but to give up. It happened that the palace had another gift. When the tribute fruit came, Shen Wan asked Haitang to pick out a box of tribute fruit, and then took a box of snacks made by Li Yuchu and sent them to the Yun family.

Let’s talk about the Yun family. Yun Mo’s marriage to the young master of the Minister of Rites’ Mansion is enough to make everyone in the Yun family happy. Yun Rui’s engagement to the eldest son of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion is like a dream, especially when Mr. Yun and Mrs. Xuanping Marquis come to propose marriage. At that time, he was not in the house. When he returned to the house, he learned that Mrs. Xuanpinghou had come to ask for Yun Rui's hand in marriage for his son. Mr. Yun believed that Mrs. Yun was joking with him.

Mr. Yun liked Prince Yanping, Tang Ze, and Lu Cheng very much. He would be very happy if Yun Qi could make friends with them, not to mention that he could become his grandson-in-law. Mr. Yun would be so happy that he could not open his mouth from ear to ear.

This marriage quickly spread throughout the streets, teahouses and restaurants, attracting countless discussions. After all, there was a huge gap in family status between the Yun family and the Xuanping Hou Mansion, but now no one dared to underestimate the Yun family.

The eldest young master of the Yun family is about to marry the head of Qinghe County of Prince Yanping. The eldest girl of the Yun family is marrying the right minister of the Ministry of Rites. The second girl of the Yun family is engaged to the prince Xuanping Hou. There are many wealthy families in Kyoto, but in terms of marriage, they are better than Yun. There really aren't many people in the family, but relying on marriage, the Yun family has been able to support their family status. Those who looked down on the Yun family in the past are now almost beyond their reach.

Shen Wan was leaning on the small couch, eating fruit while listening to the maid's gossip on the street, her mood was bubbling with beauty.

The weather is getting hotter, and people are not so sleepy anymore. After lunch, Shen Wan is leaning on the small couch reading a book, while Yin Shuang is fanning Shen Wan.

The book in her hand was very interesting. Shen Wan read it carefully. When Haitang came back from delivering things to Yun's house, she opened the bead curtain and entered the house. Yinshuang asked, "What's wrong with your hand?"

Shen Wan looked up and saw that Haitang's hands were wrapped in gauze, her sleeves were torn, and blood stains could be seen on her skirt.

Shen Wan frowned, "Injured?"

Haitang looked at her scratched hand, which hurt when she moved. She said, "When I left the house, some maids in the yard asked me to help buy some silk threads. After I sent the things to Yun's house, I went to the street. , but not long after I went to the street, I encountered the young master of the Wang family riding a horse in the downtown area, and the street became a mess. When the slave tried to avoid it, he accidentally knocked over the stall and cut his hand..."

Shen Wan saw that Haitang was neatly bandaged, and it didn't look like she could bandage it, so she asked, "Can the wound be treated by a doctor?"

Haitang nodded, "I asked a doctor to bandage it on the street."

The wound was a bit deep, and she didn't know how much blood would bleed when she returned home to see Dr. Tao. She could only pay for the doctor.

As long as the wound is treated, Shen Wan said, "Who did you just say was riding a horse in the downtown area?"

"The young master of the Wang family."

Afraid of not being clear, Haitang said, "It's Mr. Wang's cousin from the Liangjiang Salt Administration who was involved in the accident. Mrs. Wang returned to Beijing today."

Shen Wan really didn't expect Mrs. Wang to return to Beijing so soon. She should have left before they received the news that her cousin was colluding with officials and businessmen for personal gain, otherwise Mrs. Wang would not have come back so quickly.

As for rushing back in such a hurry, no need to ask, it must be to save his son's life.

Government officials colluded with businessmen, and they took risks when seeking personal gain, thinking that they would not be so unlucky to be discovered. But now that the incident has failed and someone has caught the evidence, they regret it. They feel that life is the most important thing compared to money.

Such people really do not deserve sympathy.

It's just that if his father suffers, he will definitely be begged by the old lady and Mrs. Wang to save his cousin.

Yinshuang asked Haitang, "The young master Wang's cousin rode his horse in the street. Didn't the city patrol arrest him?"

Haitang smiled and said, "The eldest young master of the Duke of Tan's mansion even arrested his own father, Mr. Tang. The young master of the Wang family made a mess on the street. How could the patrol department let him go? He was immediately detained , The young master of the Wang family didn’t know who they were, so he brought the Marquis out to suppress them, saying that he was the nephew of the Marquis of Pingyang.”

Haitang had never met the young master of the Wang family before. If he hadn't revealed his identity, she wouldn't have known who he was.

Her own father is in jail. She doesn't know how to restrain herself when she goes to Beijing. She dares to use her father's guise to use power to suppress others. She can see the leopard at the first glance. How dare she act so unscrupulously in Kyoto? On the territory of Liangjiang Salt Administration I still don’t know how to show off my power and bully the good.

Shen Wan's face was gloomy, "What then?"

Haitang said, "The eldest young master of the Duke of Tan's residence punched the young master of the Wang family in the stomach. It hurt so much that he couldn't straighten up..."

After Tang Ze finished beating the man, he picked up the young master Wang's cousin by the collar and said, "It's very courageous to use power to suppress people in front of the city inspector. Not to mention that you are just Pingyang Hou's cousin, even Pingyang Hou is riding a horse in the street. You also have to go to the city inspection department."

If these words came from other people's mouth, they would definitely think that he was bragging, but the eldest young masters of the Duke of Tan's Palace were new officials, and on the first day they took office, they arrested their own fathers and imprisoned them in the city inspection department for a night. , let alone arresting Marquis Pingyang, even if the emperor was walking on the street one day and was arrested for disturbing order, no one would find it strange.

Tang Ze threw the young master Wang Jiabiao, who could not recover from the pain for a while, to the city patrol officers and soldiers, and ordered, "Register the losses of these pavilions and ask them to go to the city patrol department tomorrow to collect compensation."

In the past, when people made trouble on the street and caused harm to the small stalls, most of them had no choice but to consider themselves unlucky. Since Prince Yanping and the others entered the city inspection department, anyone who made trouble on the street and caused harm to innocent people would be compensated according to the price.

Business is much easier now than before. Not only does no one dare to charge protection fees, but people also have to pay for damage to things. These small vendors are extremely grateful to the city patrol department.

Prince Yanping and others knew that the young master of the Wang family was Shen Du's cousin, but they would definitely not cause trouble for Shen Du. They only arrested him and locked him up in the City Patrol Prison, without sending a message to Shen Du to bring money to the City Patrol Department to compensate him. Redeem people.

Shen Wan was not very concerned about the Wang family's young cousin being arrested and sent to the city inspection department. She wanted to know what Mrs. Wang asked the old lady to save the Wang family.

In the evening, news came that Mrs. Wang returned to Beijing. She did not even go back to the Wang family's mansion in Kyoto. She went directly to Pingyang Hou Mansion to discuss with the old lady how to save the Wang family.

The old lady couldn't bear the blow of Concubine Shen Ying being demoted to the concubine. She had been bedridden for the past few days. She couldn't save herself. How could she have the ability to save the Wang family? The old lady approached Shen Jing, but Shen Jing used the excuse of being busy with military affairs. Before going to Qinghui Courtyard, Mrs. Wang was eager to save her son, so she went to the study to find Shen Jing.

Mrs. Wang found the study, and Shen Jing had to see her. Mrs. Wang begged Shen Jing to protect the Wang family. He had won the trust of the emperor. If he helped the Wang family to plead for mercy, the emperor would definitely deal with it leniently. Shen Jing's request made Shen Jing frown for a long time. "What is the crime of collusion between government and businessmen, and private selling of salt? As a salt official in Liangjiang, I know better than anyone else that knowing the law and breaking the law will be punished with an additional penalty. I, the Marquis of Pingyang, and the Wang family are cousins. I have derelict in my duty by not fulfilling the responsibility of supervision. Why? Come here to help the Wang family plead with the emperor? "

The emperor trusted him, and he couldn't live up to the emperor's trust.

If the Wang family uses power for personal gain, they should pay the price for their actions.

Shen Jing's attitude was resolute. Mrs. Wang knelt down and begged Shen Jing, "The Marquis still has half of the Wang family's blood on his body, so can he bear to watch the Wang family's destruction? The old lady will not rest in peace even under the Nine Springs."
