Whose Evil in the Red Chamber

Huan Yi thought that he had arranged the affairs of Wuhegang perfectly. His cronies and aides who needed him had sent a letter back, reporting that they were resettling these people in batches, and when the limelight passed, they would reorganize the cottage, change their names and continue to work for the family. Used by the palace.Huan Yi didn't know that his cronies who needed to be used had already been imprisoned by Wei Zhen and several important leaders of the cottage, and were being secretly escorted to the capital, and the so-called autograph letter was nothing more than that person Forced to write it helplessly under Wei Zhen's supervision.

Huan Yi would never have imagined that the huge Wuhegang would be uprooted so silently, so he naturally had no doubts about the news from his cronies, and stopped paying attention to Wuhegang He put all his attention on the matter of swallowing Xue's family.

Since Jing Xuan got the news brought back by Sanniang and others, and learned that the scene he arranged had successfully invited Jun into the urn, he put on a look of staying out of the matter, watching Huan Yi and Shui Rong jump up and down around Xue's house with cold eyes, It's much more interesting than watching a monkey show.

Especially watching Huan Yi for a while instructing the Qin family to maliciously poach the shopkeeper of the Xue family, which caused a lot of turmoil in the Xue family's shop, and then ordered the Dong family to help, pretending to inadvertently bring out the name of the palace to Mrs. Xue Passing Huatou to the front, he showed a good person while stabbing a knife to the fullest, which made Jingxuan watch with relish, and at the same time watched Huan Yi pull out the carrot and bring out the mud without any effort—you know, there are some people on weekdays. Although the aristocratic family invested in the palace, it was difficult to catch them. This time, there is no need to send someone to investigate carefully. It is enough to keep a small account just to see who is acting for Huan Yi.

"As long as you carefully check these people, the truth of what good things Huan Yi has done through these people over the years will be revealed." Jing Xuan sneered and gave the roster to Yu Hua. Naturally, he didn't need to do the detailed investigation. The people brought by Yu Hua are good players, he just needs to wait for the results and analyze them a little bit.

At the side, the emperor stroked his gray beard and drank tea, and waited for Yu Hua to leave, then he said unhurriedly, "It seems that Huan Yi has offended you badly, look at your crispness, it's better than that." Lin Ruhai's procrastination is much more straightforward." As expected of our family!The emperor added in his heart.

"Wei Zhen led a large group of people outside to open up a great situation. I can't be idle here, can I? When the time comes to the Golden Luan Hall, it is best to have all the witnesses and physical evidence." Jingxuan tasted tea , said leisurely.

The emperor was indeed right about one thing, if Huan Yi hadn't disgusted him again and again, he really wouldn't have put in so much effort.He has done too many things like fighting openly and secretly, fighting for power and profit, and dragging others down in his previous life. Although fighting with others is a lot of fun, there will always be a time when you get bored, how good it is to play a little trick leisurely?

At the beginning of this life, he himself was in a difficult situation, so he could only do his best to save himself, and he simply made a lot of friends around him, which was much better than being alone in his previous life, and he felt much more at ease.When two big backing mountains fell from the sky, he was even more happy to lean against the big trees to enjoy the shade.

In the past three years of keeping filial piety, he has pushed all the matters of the restaurant to Wang Qi. Naturally, the Jin family has to worry about the affairs of the escort. He felt that his temper was much better, but some people kept jumping up and down to provoke him. The old birthday star is really tired of hanging himself, isn't he?

Well, once this matter is over, he seems to have the inspiration to write a new play again. Thinking about it this way, it's not a bad thing at all.

"You trust Wei Zhen, you even gave him the military talisman and imperial decree." When the emperor saw Wei Zhen mentioned by his grandson, he couldn't help but raised his beard and said sourly.

Although he maintained a tacit attitude towards the matter of Jingxuan and Wei Zhen, it doesn't mean that he has no objection to Wei Zhen. Originally, seeing Wei Zhen's stupidity, the emperor thought in his heart what was wrong with this big stupid man He didn't even think he was good enough for his precious grandson; later, he found that Wei Zhen looked honest and responsible, but his stomach was full of blackness. He was smarter than anyone else, and the emperor was not happy anymore. Lied to.

No matter how you say it, the emperor always picks his nose and eyes at Wei Zhen, and he is not satisfied with anything. He catches the opportunity to say something bitter in front of Jing Xuan. Jing Xuan has long been used to it, and immediately laughed when he heard the words: There must be no one in the world who is more reliable than him and worthy of my trust, Grandpa, please try this, this dim sum is made according to the dim sum recipe sent by Wang Qi."

When the emperor saw that the good-looking grandson personally picked up the dim sum and put it on his lips, he immediately burst into a smile, and he didn't care about being sour, it was more important to eat the dim sum from the good-looking grandson.

Seeing that the emperor was successfully distracted by himself, Jing Xuan secretly laughed in his heart, and said strangely that he was an old child, and it was not bad at all.But the military talisman and imperial decree mentioned by the emperor, it can be said that the emperor had the foresight.On that day, Yu Hua was ordered to bring a large number of hidden guards to escort the Supreme Emperor to Weiyang. At the same time, he also handed Jing Xuan a military talisman to mobilize the army and three stamped but still blank imperial edicts.

One is that the emperor is worried about the safety of the emperor, and is afraid that those people will jump over the wall in a hurry and take risks. With the military talisman and holy decree, he can mobilize the army to protect the emperor at critical times.The second is to let Jingxuan act cheaply in case of emergency.This time Wei Zhen came forward to "suppress the bandits" and used these two.

In such a large cottage, it is not something that Wei Zhen can do with a group of hidden guards if he wants to make a circle. Therefore, after Jingxuan handed these two things to Wei Zhen, Wei Zhen quietly contacted the Zhao family. The emperor's direct descendant of the military family, the Zhao family's uncle is now leading the army in the Jiangnan camp. After meeting Wei Zhen, he immediately dispatched troops who are good at fighting in the mountains and forests and quietly approached Wuhegang.

And Wei Zhen, after investigating several family members in the cottage, locked the third family as a breakthrough. After successfully instigating the opposition, he came to cooperate with the outside world. This not only kept Xue's father and son unscathed, but also gave the huge cottage It ended silently.

The so-called corpses that the Xue family sent people to find back were just the remains of a few bandits with similar builds. They couldn't be seen after the scuffle, so naturally they didn't arouse suspicion.This made Wei Zhen rush to the capital with several important criminals very smoothly.

Wei Zhen has arranged a step-by-step plan, and his plan is going smoothly, so Jingxuan's side can stir up the flames for this group of people. Look at the so-called all kinds of sentient beings, isn't it?Facts have proved that as long as the fire is hot enough and the circle of interests is tempting enough, there is no fear that these foxes will not show their tails. Look, not only Huan Yi is jumping up and down, but even the son of the Prince of Jing, Shui Rong, can't sit still, can't he? ?Otherwise, where did the Liang family in Gusu have the guts to gobble up the two most valuable shops of the Xue family in Gusu?

As for the people of these two factions who are afraid, it is the shop that the Xue family cooperates with Wang Qi and the Escort Bureau. After a disturbance, the main family would rather break the contract and pay compensation than continue to cooperate with Wang Qi and Jin's family. Apart from secretly pondering the key points, the main family is tenable on the surface.

Greed is never-ending, and it will make people lose their vigilance. It seems that they have tasted the benefits of swallowing Xue's shop. Huan Yi and Shui Rong changed their cautious and cautious attitude at first, and became more aggressive. The Xue family's property has shrunk by nearly [-]% in less than three months. Except for Jinling's local property, which is fairly complete, the Xue family's other properties in the south of the Yangtze River are in a pool of muddy water: They were bought directly by various means and changed their names, some of them still bear the name of the Xue family. From the shopkeeper to the staff, they are not the group of old people who are loyal to the Xue family.

Mrs. Xue is not stupid. Although she is very paranoid due to her prejudice against Jingxuan and the Jin family and her doting on her son, she is generally a shrewd person. Mrs. Xue has no reason not to notice.

However, although she sensed something different, many eyes and ears have been planted around her now, and the wives of officials and eunuchs who come and go have also received orders from their superiors, and pots of dirty water are poured on Jingxuan and Wang Mrs. Xue was the one who followed Qi and Jin's family, so she never had any doubts.

Among them, Dong's family is the most shameless. In order to win merit and face in front of Huan Yi, they don't even care about being ugly. They even use the matter of their children's marriage as a weight, and pour a lot of soup on Mrs. Xue.

"I saw that Bao'er from my sister's family is a good girl. She is so young, but she behaves so well, dignified and quiet, and she can compare with many ladies! If I am a bastard, I can hire Bao'er." Being a daughter-in-law is a great thing!" Mrs. Dong was very eloquent at a young age, and said with a smile as she looked at Mrs. Xue's face.

Mrs. Xue didn't expect this aspect at first, but she listened to Mrs. Dong's words, which aroused her worries. Now the Xue family has no man to support the family, and now there are some signs of decline. When her Baochai grows up, she will lose her father. It's not easy to find a prominent husband's family with her brother as the master and only relying on her as a mother?

This Dong family is not such a prominent family in Jinling. In the past, Mrs. Xue might not have taken a fancy to the Dong family's family status, but now the situation has reversed. If the wife of the Dong family can say such a thing, Mrs. Xue has something in her heart. How happy.

Seeing Mrs. Xue's expression, Mrs. Dong knew that she was moved, and quickly added a fire, pretending to be mysterious and said: "If our two families become in-laws, there is another advantage. Now those villains are staring at you." The property of the family, sister, have you worked hard to prevent thieves for thousands of days? Dragging the corpse, our two families got engaged, and we found an official media as a guarantee. My sister drew up a dowry list for Baochai, and put some important stores into her dowry. In the past few years, my sister has temporarily handed over these shops to our Dong family. One is to prevent those villains from coveting, and the other is that they will all belong to Baochai in the future. But if you have to report to the government, sister is still afraid that I will steal your things?"

Mrs. Dong is eloquent. Mrs. Xue was a little hesitant at first, but after listening to her words, she was really moved. Now only Baochai is left in the Xue family, and the huge property belongs to her daughter. It doesn't make any difference if you give it late, since the Dong family is willing to take over the care, and can find a good relationship for Baochai, why not do it?

In this way, Baochai, who was only four years old, was betrothed to a baby relative. The young master of Dong's family was only one year old now, and he was still a nursing baby.However, the engagement of these two little dolls caused a stir in the south of the Yangtze River, and the common people talked about it for a long time.

The Dong family cheated the best shops of the Xue family as they wished, turned around and sold them in front of Huan Yi, and Huan Yi also promised to move the positions of several men of the Dong family, and the young master of the Dong family was also taken away by Huan Yi. Doing things by your side is like a chicken and a dog ascending to heaven.Shui Rong knew that Huan Yi had eaten the most attractive property of the Xue family, and while his eyes were red with anger, he couldn't help admiring Huan Yi's cunning and shamelessness.

On the contrary, although people with discerning eyes don't know the tricks in it, they can always see that it is very wrong. Xue Biao heard the wind outside, and brought it up with his mother when he got home. Sister Xue is also a sensible person. This Xue family is exactly When the wind and rain are turbulent, it is inappropriate to drop pies from the sky, no matter how you hear it, it involves the child's life-long event, so you have to be more cautious. Therefore, out of kindness, Mrs. Xue persuaded Mrs. Xue a few words.

However, Mrs. Xue has become determined after eating the weights, and her eyes are full of the bright future that Mrs. Dong has outlined for her. How can she listen to her sister-in-law? He couldn't hang up either, and said unhappily: "Sister-in-law, don't talk about it, let your family's Baoqin make a small order for Mei Hanlin's baby relatives, and my family's Baochai is not allowed to be favored by the Dong family? There is such a reason!"

Sister-in-law Xue tried to persuade her kindly, but was choked back by Mrs. Xue's words. Seeing that she brought up her own daughter to talk about the matter, she was naturally unhappy. After the two broke up unhappy, there were some rumors outside, saying It was Xue Biao who coveted the property of orphans and widows.

How could Xue Mingyi and Xue Pan, who cheated to death, not know about the chaos caused by the Xue family?The two of them can get very accurate information through Wei Zhen anytime and anywhere. At first, when they heard that Huan Yi and Shui Rong had invaded the Xue family's property in a different way, the father and son were angry and also had a desire to watch the show. Thinking, now that the two of them have swallowed up so much of the Xue family's property, and they will go to the capital to sue the imperial court in the future, they will all spit it out!For Mrs. Xue, both father and son felt somewhat guilty.

This time, they cheated the entire Xue family. Hearing that his wife (mother) and daughter (sister) were crying in front of the dead, they lost a lot of weight. Don't mention it's sad.It's just that this matter is of great importance, if the rumors are accidentally leaked, the whole game will be lost.Therefore, both father and son have made plans in their hearts. When the truth comes out, they will definitely comfort their wife (mother) and daughter (sister)!

Xue Mingyi did not blame his wife for the defrauding of Xue's family property. His wife lived in the inner house all year round and did not interfere with the business of the store. The culprit is real.Until the news that Baochai was engaged to Dong's milk doll this time, both Xue Mingyi and Xue Pan jumped up.

How could he jump into such a bright trap!This is a major event in the life of the daughter (sister). If it is a private engagement, it will be fine. The big deal is to regret the marriage silently. Based on what the Dong family has done, this time after the fall, the settlement will definitely be included, and the marriage will naturally be understood by then. .

The bad thing is that this marriage has been widely publicized in Jiangnan, and everyone knows about it!Xue Mingyi is not Mrs. Xue. After a little thought, he understood what the Dong family was planning. They coaxed their wives to give them their property without worry. The thing that hurts the most is the reputation of the woman. Even the Dong family will be hindered. After all, the Dong family is a boy!Their Dong family is planning to get rid of the daughter of the Xue family who is worthless in the future. This kind of wishful thinking is now invisible to the blindfolded wife.

This incident made Xue Mingyi and his son very angry. Immediately, the Dong family became the person they hated the most after Huan Yi, the culprit. With Xue Pan's impulsive temper, he wished he could go back to Jinling immediately to settle accounts with the Dong family. Still being held down by the calm Xue Mingyi.However, even though Xue Mingyi persuaded his son, he couldn't restrain his uneasiness in his heart, his usual smile was gone, and he sighed.

Seeing his father and son's dejected looks, Wu Niang frowned, shook her head and said, "Father, why should you be so worried? In my opinion, my sister's matter is not only not a disaster, but maybe it's a great thing!"

Xue Mingyi and Xue Pan hurriedly looked at Wu Niang, their eyes lit up, Xue Pan asked anxiously, "What do you say?"

Wu Niang smiled: "Then the Dong family's tossing around, it must not end well in the end, it looks like they folded their sister into it, but they also did things for the emperor, how can they know that it is not a blessing? The eldest son looks so sad Ruthless, he protects his own people closely, but it is difficult for ordinary people to be regarded as his own by the eldest son. Although my sister's reputation has been damaged this time, those who really understand it may not care about it. In the future, my sister will grow up , when it's time to discuss marriage, as long as the emperor doesn't forget and the eldest son remembers, are you afraid that my sister won't find a good family?"

Both Xue Mingyi and Xue Pan were dumbfounded, and it took a while to come back to their senses. Xue Pan was naturally overjoyed, and repeatedly said, "My lady is right." Wu Niang spit and stared at her.But Xue Mingyi shook his head and smiled wryly. In fact, the truth is not profound, but he himself is confused when he cares about it. He didn't think of it at all for a while. Delaying my daughter's cry is not worth the candle!

After figuring this out, Xue Mingyi put his heart into his stomach, but he still blamed his wife in his heart, and he became more and more confused. It seems that he has to take care of his body and live for a few more years, otherwise if he Leaving first, leaving the old wife to torment Pan'er and his wife, but it is a sign of prodigal.

Except for the little episode of Xue's family, Wei Zhen and his team arrived at the palace in the suburbs of Beijing smoothly in early July, and met the emperor who was serving the queen mother in the palace to escape the summer heat; Huan Yi and Shui Rong are still trying their best to dig out more oil and water from the Xue family, and at the same time, they are also consolidating the property they just acquired, and a large amount of gold and silver money has also been secretly transported back to the palace in the capital.

While doing this, the two of them are also preparing to return to the capital. After all, next month is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there will definitely be a banquet in the palace. They, the princes, must attend. If you don’t hurry up and prepare now, it will be too late Yes, but there will be a lot of delay on the way.

Just the night before the two of them were going to return to the capital, the army of the Jiangnan Camp entered Weiyang City just as the city gate was about to close, and surrounded the residences of Huan Yi and Shui Rong. The leading general was the Zhao family Uncle Zhao Mengjia and his eldest son Zhao Qi.
