Concubine Hanhan's Concubine Gongdou

Chapter 675 Three Things

Since he found out that Zhao Zhong's son had died yesterday, his right eye began to twitch wildly, feeling a sense of imminent catastrophe.

At this time, he was writing quickly, writing several letters in a row, and handing them over to the steward immediately after writing, so that the steward would secretly send someone out to stabilize those who followed and made friends with him.

This is the first thing he has to do: reassure people.

After sending out the letter, he gritted his teeth, calmed down, and began to write a note to resign from the title of Earl of Loyalty. Keep your duty, hope that the country will prosper, and hope that the people will live in peace. How can He De get this title?

His heart is bleeding, the official position is not as good as the title, no matter how high the official position is, it will be gone after death, and the descendants will have to start all over again if they want to be an official. An unattainable glory.

He handed down the title that so many people expected.

But he had to do this, because the introduction of Zhao Zhong to quell the emperor's heir caused too much commotion, and he did not expect that the emperor would oust Zhao Zhong's clan. The Ministry of Punishment moved too fast. The full confession was obtained on the [-]st, and the case was determined. He didn't even have time to deal with Zhao Zhong. The emperor's golden words had already been delivered.
He is not afraid that Zhao Zhong will bite him back, what he is afraid of is that the people who follow him will fall apart, they have worked hard for many years, and if they are careless, they will lose everything!
The case of Zhao Zhong caused many people to suspect him. Those who don't know, like the ignorant common people, think that he is the hero who eradicated traitors. Those who know, like the aristocratic family, many courtiers, and those who follow him, must think that he is cold in nature. Stepping on the bones of Zhao Zhong's three clans, he ascended to the throne and won the title of Earl of Loyalty.

Therefore, no matter how heartbroken he was, he had no choice but to reject it, so he could express his position to the world, and most importantly, to his followers and the aristocratic family that he united this time. Climb the indifferent person, so as to restore prestige.

Except for the loss of the title, the rest are benefits. The emperor will think that he is loyal, the people will recognize him as noble, the scholars will praise him for his reputation, and even history books will praise him for his reputation.

Xue Ping kept persuading himself, listing many benefits in his heart to comfort himself, not to be greedy for temporary wealth, but to look at the long-term to be true, otherwise he really didn't know whether he could keep writing.

This is the second thing he has to do: resign the title and express his position to restore his prestige.

While writing the notes, Xue Ping also sorted out his thoughts and made up his mind.

When he goes to the court tomorrow, he will play this letter. He doesn't know if the emperor rejects it or not, but he must do enough to show the world to see this gesture.

Thinking it through is thinking it through, as long as he thinks that the loyal uncle he just won, he will push him out before he warms up, his heart aches unbearably.

Anyone who resigns the title he has already obtained will feel heartbroken. He made this decision himself. If his son and Xue family clan members know about it, they will not agree to it, and they will even quarrel with him at that time.

Putting the written notebook away and not looking at it anymore, Xue Ping seemed to be tired from a long time, his face was full of exhaustion.

With a sigh, he has to deal with the third matter, which is the matter of the Guo family.

He understands his nephew, he can stretch and bend, he is ruthless, he has no courtesy, justice and shame at all, he is like a jackal, whoever has flesh is a mother.

If he doesn't do something to stabilize the person, I'm afraid something will happen.

The list mentioned in the letter threatened him, which made him terrified. He was not afraid of [-] or just in case. Even if Guo Neng lied to him, he didn't dare to bet. He had to keep the talent anyway.

It's all because of those idiots, a bunch of trash, so many people, they can't even kill two of them, so what's the use of them!
Thinking of this, Xue Ping felt a surge of hostility in his heart, and he was extremely irritable.

He recruited Xue Changgui and asked, "I heard that someone went to Shuntian Mansion to sue Guo Neng and imprisoned the only son in the family?"

Xue Changgui replied respectfully: "Yes, master."

"Is there such a thing?"

Xue Changgui continued: "There is indeed such a thing. This person's surname is Sun and his name is Da. He is a tea merchant in Yangzhou Prefecture. He came to the capital on a northward journey and had many business conflicts with Master Guo. Downwind, there were rumors that this person wanted to meddle in the affairs of the imperial business, so the young master of the Guo family simply did not stop and arrested this person's only son. Young Master Guo is causing trouble. But now that something happened to the Guo family, that person came out to make trouble, and the only son of that person was indeed found from the Guo family dungeon..."

"Idiot!" Xue Ping slammed the table hard, interrupted Xue Changgui, and cursed: "There is an old man in the outer court, and Jun Wan in the inner palace. His status as an imperial merchant is very stable, so why worry about these people! What a short-sighted woman! Human kindness!"

Now that people have been offended, they should be punished to death so that they will never stand up again.

It's really stupid to keep a culprit in your hand, and catch one right at a time!
Xue Ping was trembling with anger, but after getting angry, he had no choice but to accept his fate to clean up the mess, and ordered Xue Changgui to "discuss" with that Sun Da, so that he would withdraw the lawsuit first, and then talk about the rest.

Clean up the matter first, the five hundred catties of private salt, after all, is not Guo Neng's work, the most important thing for a selfish person like his nephew is not to cause harm to himself, and the rest, whether it is his own father or brother, can be done. abandon.

If he asked Sun Da to withdraw the pleadings and settle the matter, at least Guo Neng could see that he was indeed cleaning up the mess for him and stabilized him.

As for taking out Guo's house, it's a fool's talk. How many of those who were captured by the Department of Internal Security can come back intact?

Only his stupid nephew was so innocent.

but……

With a thought in his mind, this matter seems to be exploitable...

He pondered, the Guo family is his brother-in-law after all, if something happens and they don't care about it, it will inevitably have a bad reputation, especially at this juncture, the aristocratic family and followers have a lot of suspicion about him, if he doesn't care, I'm afraid that If the Dao zhezi is on, there will be doubts about him.

If he asked a few words about the Guo family's affairs at the court, expressing that he didn't know the reason at the beginning and dared not comment, but now that he knows it's really fragrant, he will criticize him first and pluck himself clean, and then plead for the Guo family. Wouldn't it be able to save people's hearts?

Thinking of this, Xue Ping let out a long sigh of relief, and his heart became much brighter.

"Master, did the little one go to work?" Xue Changgui hesitated.

Just for a while, he saw that his master's complexion was cloudy and uncertain, and after several changes, he finally became much better visible to the naked eye. He didn't know what happened, he didn't dare to ask, and he didn't dare to leave.

Xue Ping came to his senses, in a good mood, and said, "There is one more thing I need you to do..."
