Han Dao world

Madam Yuan's face froze, she hesitated to speak.

She didn't have to tell Yang Biao, but she couldn't lie when Yang Biao asked.

This is the bottom line of trust between husband and wife.

She told about Yuan Mai's mother and son quietly returning to the Central Plains, then got up from the table and knelt in front of Yang Biao.

Yang Biao's expression changed, and he was going to have an attack several times, but he finally restrained himself when he saw the kneeling Madam Yuan.

"Lake paint!" Yang Biao clapped his hands. "It's really a muddy lake! You can still live if you do evil by the sky. You can't live when you do evil by yourself." He stood up and was about to go out.

Madam Yuan was shocked, she stepped forward and hugged Yang Biao's leg.

"Husband, spare their mother and child a life."

"Is that about their mother and son?" Yang Biao was furious. "The Confucian school is just at the time of reformation, and it cannot withstand such twists and turns. If their mother and son are intertwined, and this rare peace is ruined, the emperor will not be angry, and I will kill them with my own hands."

After finishing speaking, he pushed Madam Yuan away forcefully and left in a hurry.

Mrs. Yuan was frightened by Yang Biao's anger, and she didn't dare to move for a long time.

-

Yang Biao came to the atrium, slowed down his pace, and stood on the corridor thinking for a while.

He is very angry, but he knows that anger will not solve the problem, it will only lead to more problems.

Yuan Mai's mother and son are probably not an isolated case. There must be some people who can't bear the hardships abroad and take advantage of the family relationship to sneak back to their hometown.Once traced, half of Kanto may be implicated.

The situation that has just stabilized will be hit hard again.

Yang Biao thought for a while, then turned and went to Sikong Mansion.

Sikong Zhou Zhong is dealing with official business.The autumn harvest is approaching, planning is about to start, and the governors of various states have also entered the busiest time. A large number of documents have been sent to the Sikong Mansion. He dare not relax and must deal with them in time.

Seeing Yang Biao, Zhou Zhong was taken aback, got up immediately, and welcomed Yang Biao to the study.

"What happened?"

"Who said something was wrong?" Yang Biao asked calmly.

"And!" Zhou Zhong raised his hand. "It's okay, you will come to me at this time? The plan is coming soon. I don't know if you are busy or not?"

Yang Biao sighed and told the whole story without covering it up.

After hearing this, Zhou Zhong also changed his expression, stroked his beard, and remained silent for a while.

On the contrary, Yang Biao calmed down, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it slowly.

Zhou Zhong glanced at him and said with a sneer, "Wen Xian, looking at you like this, you must have already made a decision?"

"Jiamou, you should know that the emperor is now reforming the system, especially military service, in preparation for the future Western Expedition."

"It's not a secret, of course I know."

"Wanli in the Western Regions, when do you think the emperor will triumph?"

"At least three to five years, as many as ten years."

"Then let's take an average, let's say ten years. What will happen to the government if the emperor has been away for ten years? Can we handle it well?"

Zhou Zhong's eyes flashed, thoughtful. "You mean, one of the purposes of the Son of Heaven's expedition to the west... is to give us a chance to see if we can handle the affairs of the court well, and whether it is feasible to rule from the ground up?"

"Is it possible?"

"Yes, too much." Zhou Zhong suddenly became a little excited. "It might not be possible for someone else. But with the great talent of the Son of Heaven, it is indeed possible." He frowned again, raised his hand, and scratched the tip of his brow with his little finger. "But if we can't do it, ten years later, the emperor will have to return to court to set things right..."

He raised his eyelids and looked at Yang Biao, with a wry smile on his lips. "In the future, it will be self-defeating to bring up the arch and rule it."

Yang Biao nodded. "Jiamou really lives up to his words, and he hits the nail on the head."

Zhou Zhong waved his hand, and said angrily: "Don't say these are useless. What are you going to do? If this is a thorough investigation, not one or two people will be involved."

"I only hope that they are isolated cases and have not yet formed a trend. But if they are not dealt with in time and more and more imitators are waiting, then it will be a big trouble." Yang Biao sighed. "Jiamou, to tell you the truth, what I'm most worried about is that the emperor knew about it a long time ago, and just took this opportunity to beat us, to see if we can prove our innocence."

"Don't talk about us, it's you. The governor can't care about those trivial matters. The Yuan family is your natal family. How can you not know? Even if you really don't know, I'm afraid it will be difficult to win people's trust."

"I'm not afraid of that." Yang Biao said calmly, "I have a clear conscience, if I don't know, I don't know."

"That's right, you are the queen of Duke Yang who knew you four times." Zhou Zhong teased.

Yang Biao glanced at Zhou Zhong, disdaining to defend himself.

While teasing, the two discussed it and felt that this matter should be reported and asked for a thorough investigation, instead of waiting for the emperor to issue an edict.The sooner it is dealt with, the less the ramifications are, and the fewer people get hurt.

More importantly, the more the emperor can believe that they did not deliberately conceal.

The trust between the monarch and his subjects is too important.Once damaged, it is difficult to recover.

After the discussion, Yang Biao sighed. "The Kanto gentry are still too squeamish, and there are too few young people like Gong Jin. They can't bear this kind of suffering. If they don't temper themselves, they will inevitably fall."

Zhou Zhong felt the same way. "Or Mencius is right, born in sorrow, die in peace. Sincerity is not to be deceived."

-

Coming out of Sikong Mansion, Yang Biao turned around and went to see Jia.

He bowed down in front of Liu Xie, explained the situation Mrs. Yuan said one by one, and then pleaded guilty to Liu Xie.

As a husband, he failed to manage his wife well.

As Situ, he knew nothing about Yuan Mai's mother and son secretly returning to the Central Plains. Even if he was not directly responsible, he had insufficient control over the county.

Liu Xie was also surprised, but he was not angry.

He is very clear that with the current level of technology, it is unrealistic to know everyone's whereabouts well.Not to mention Situ Mansion, counties and counties may not be able to do it.

In other words, the prefect of Runan and the order of Ruyang also have the possibility of being kept in the dark, but this possibility is much smaller.

Therefore, the point is not how it happened before, but how to deal with the problem after it is discovered.

Yang Biao's ability to report immediately and take the initiative to plead guilty has already shown his loyalty, and the mother must be harsh.

"Let this matter be handled by the Taiwei's Mansion, just to see how effective the new military service will be." Liu Xie helped Yang Biao up, and said calmly, "As for Yang Gong, you just need to take care of the family affairs."

"Wei." Yang Biao thanked him again.

Liu Xie immediately summoned Taiwei Jia Xu and Sikong Zhouzhong, explained the matter briefly, and asked the Taiwei Mansion to arrange someone to investigate the whole incident, and the Sikong Mansion would cooperate to deal with the relevant officials.

Jia Xu and Zhou Zhong received the edict and went to deploy immediately.

Especially in Taiwei's Mansion, an order was sent directly to Han Sui, the general of Fujun, asking him to arrest Yuan Mai's mother and son as quickly as possible for interrogation.

At the same time, Yuan Tan, as an insider, was also imprisoned immediately.

Knowing that it was Yang Biao who made the first complaint, Yuan Tan was very angry. In front of Mrs. Yuan, he angrily accused Yang Biao of being inhumane, killing orphans and widows, and that he would be cast aside by thousands of people in the future.

Madam Yuan was furious, raising her hand was a resounding slap.

"What do you know? Your uncle is for the entire Confucianism, not your family."
