Hou Fu Di Daughter-in-Law

Chapter 12 Good Words
I haven't seen Yao Shangshu for a while, but I didn't expect that Jiang Chenqi, who is cruel and cruel, tortured the respected and respected veteran to the point of shame.

Zhou Ping felt sad, and felt that Yao Shangshu's life was suffering. It was obvious that a good official did not stand in the right team and was rejected by the new emperor.Yao Shangshu is too principled, so he is not as happy as a hypocrite like Xu Shaoqing.

"Yao Shangshu is not young anymore, Commander Jiang, don't arrange so much heavy work. Look at Yao Shangshu, where is the demeanor of Hubu Shangshu."

Jiang Chenqi replied blankly, with distress hidden in her indifferent eyes, "Yao Shangshu made a mistake first, let him do the farm work, I think highly of him. Since Manager Zhou opened his mouth to plead for Yao Shangshu, I will give you a face. If we don’t have livestock, let the elderly Yao Shangshu and his wife raise livestock.”

Zhou Ping didn't know which was easier, raising livestock or doing farm work.Facing Yao Shangshu who disregarded his image, the soreness in his heart was hard to get rid of.

There was a noise not far away, Jiang Chenqi strode over with a whip in hand, and saw Yao Siniang arguing with a peasant woman.

Swearing at people in rude language, the former delicate young lady has become a hot-tempered shrew in the country.Yao Siniang was so unforgiving that she scolded the peasant woman into a rage.

Jiang Chenqi flicked the whip to separate the two who wanted to fight, and reprimanded with a straight face: "What to do if you are making trouble, I think you are free, and you will have the energy to quarrel if you are not tired from work."

Zhou Ping lamented that the country girl was tough and her abusive aura was irresistible.If Commander Jiang hadn't stopped him, the two of them might have started a fight.

Jiang Chenqi pointed to Yao Siniang who was striding away, and said in a disdainful tone: "The girl from the Yao family is nothing more than that. I thought she was a golden branch and a jade leaf, but she could not change her charming demeanor. In just one month, she became a shrew."

Knowing that the person who scolded was Yao Siniang, Zhou Ping felt dizzy.He remembered that Yao Siniang was beautiful, quiet and talented, if nothing happened to the Yao family, they should get engaged this year.

Take Zhou Ping to visit the dilapidated house where Yao's family lives and see how they eat coarse grains.Jiang Chenqi wished that Zhou Ping would stay and witness the hardships and tortures of the Yao family.

Zhou Ping is the great eunuch next to Shen Yan, and he will definitely report what he saw and heard when he returns to the palace. Jiang Chenqi hopes that the suffering of the Yao family will calm the emperor down.

Sending off Manager Zhou who was in a complicated mood, Jiang Chenqi squatted on the ground with a water bag, "Yao Shangshu don't pretend to be asleep, Manager Zhou has already left. You didn't see Manager Zhou's face, he shed tears in distress when he saw you now, Zhou The steward has a bit of conscience."

As an eunuch, Zhou Ping still has a conscience, and as an emperor, Shen Yan plots against Yao's family carefully. Yao Shangshu figured it out and decided to cooperate with Jiang Chenqi, hoping to protect the family.

Getting up and opening the water bag to drink water, Yao Lixing sighed to the blue sky, "Yao got a good reputation in his studies, and he did not dare to be negligent in his work. He is worthy of the former emperor and the motherland under his feet. Unexpectedly, one day, I will be in trouble because of the new emperor. In the past, I didn't like the emperor. Even now."

The position of Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs is usually handed over to someone trusted by the emperor. Jiang Chenqi persuaded Yao Shangshu to open it, "At least to save the lives of the family, I have sent spies to Master Yao's hometown to take care of it. If the children of the family study and test their achievements, they should be ordinary farmers."

Sometimes it is not a good thing to have a lot of fame and great achievements. The Chu family has both fame and status, and it is not because of conspiracy that they disappeared.Jiang Chenqi took the Chu family as an example and asked Yao Shangshu to consider for her family.

Randomly picking up a piece of weed, Jiang Chenqi said casually: "If it wasn't for revenge, I wouldn't want to stay in the capital, and would rather go to the mountains to live an ordinary life in seclusion. Yao Shangshu should stop thinking about serving the country, the emperor is jealous of your Fame can't stand you, don't be stupid and ruin your family."

When the Chu family was wiped out, the servant Gardener and the old slave who guarded the gate, including the cats and dogs, did not survive.Jiang Chenqi felt that the elders were too stupid to guard against the ruthless emperor.

Yao Lixing's heart ached when he mentioned the mansion of General Zhen Guo. General Chu was an upright and upright gentleman, the kind of general who defended the country and died in battle.He didn't die on the battlefield, but died in the infighting among his own people.

Unable to persuade Jiang Chenqi to let go of her hatred, Yao Lixing sighed helplessly and said: "I understand what you mean, I am in the eyes of the emperor, I should go back to my hometown and live a low-key life. But you are a child who makes people worry, take care of your body, don't be stupid to listen to the emperor's orders, Think more about yourself."

Yao Wuniang put down her hoe to rest, and seeing her father talking to Jiang Chenqi, she said angrily: "Mother, look at my father, how can he get close to the enemy. Jiang Chenqi is really not a good person, I wish her bad luck."

Mrs. Yao stretched out her hand and patted her daughter's arm, and said with a stern face, "Don't complain in a low voice, there is no good fruit for offending Commander Jiang."

Taking a look at the calm Jiang Chenqi, Mrs. Yao sighed in her heart when she thought of her husband's words.

The previous resentment disappeared and only pity remained. Commander Jiang is a good boy who knows how to repay his kindness.If it wasn't for Jiang Chenqi's secret help, the whole family entered the dungeon of Dali Temple, wondering if they would be able to leave alive.

Those who took the initiative to visit Yao Shangshu felt distressed when they saw the haggard Yao Shangshu, and cursed Jiang Chenqi behind his back for being cold-blooded and heartless.

Anyone with a discerning eye knew that the evidence that convict Yao Lixing was false, but the emperor was blinded by the treacherous minister Jiang Chenqi.

Qu Yibie, who was recuperating in the Hou Mansion, went out of the city in disguise and returned to the Hou Mansion with an ugly face.

"Fortunately, I have changed my mind about Commander Jiang. I feel that the foolish things she did in the past were all following the emperor's orders. This time, the emperor did not order Yao Shangshu to be tortured, so Commander Jiang tortured people so badly. Why not send Yao's family to Dali Temple?" , better than farming and raising pigs.”

Xie Jinghuai tasted the tea leisurely, without looking angry at all.

Everyone in the capital knew about Commander Jiang's torture of Yao Shangshu, and Qu Yibie was left behind because of the news of his recovery.

Seeing that Lord Hou is calm, Qu Yi should not be anxious, and begged Lord Hou to show kindness and help Yao Shangshu, "I have dealt with Yao Shangshu before, and I admire his character and character. Yao Shangshu is a good official and should not be humiliated. .”

Young people look at the problem simply. Xie Jinghuai put down his teacup and said unhurriedly: "The more difficult Yao Shangshu's life is, the more he can escape. Do you know what the emperor wanted to trouble the old minister for a long time? Don't forget that Yao Shangshu Waiting for the old ministers, there are not many people who support the emperor. The emperor has a small heart and is full of calculations, and wants the Yao family to die with a word."

Picking up the pastries and savoring them carefully, Xie Jinghuai said mockingly: "You praised Yao Shangshu as a good official, and I also feel that I am a good general. I didn't do anything wrong to Bei Qi, so I was still jealous by the emperor. I pretended to be sick to hide my strength. Yao Shangshu If there is any problem with being a farmer in the country, Jiang Chenqi is helping him."

Jiang Chenqi obviously can ignore this matter, hand over the collected evidence to Dali Temple, and don't have to bother to settle the Yao family.

Jiang Chenqi took the risk of offending Dali Temple, and she did not hesitate to be feared by officials and hated by scholars, in order to protect the Yao family.
