Chapter 198
Shen Jiangdong said, "If your fourth uncle hadn't been caught, how many times has the Queen mentioned the matter of dividing the family? What did your fourth uncle do, I'm afraid you know better, if he doesn't leave, how many people in Beijing Staring at the wrong place of the Ye family and having a fit, isn't it implicating you?"

Ye Lancheng was silent after hearing this, Jiang Feng was too lazy to mention Siqing's decision to adopt Ye Lanzhi, so he simply kept silent.

Ye Lancheng asked: "The eldest brother left Yuhang last year, so what happened to He Shouzhi?"

Shen Jiangdong said: "Did Anping County have any intention of killing me at that time? Now it has become a case without a head. He Shouzhi followed us out of the city, to the border of Songjiang, and ran away at night. Later we It was only when we arrived in Jinling that we found out that he had voted for Dingfan."

Ye Lancheng nodded, and Shen Jiangdong asked again: "Did Yao Yuantu say something when you came to Beijing? He and your father are not on good terms."

Ye Lancheng said: "I have very little contact with him, but after the elder brother left, he tried his best to speak for the elder brother, I think it is His Majesty's intention."

Jiang Feng said, "Did your Majesty intentionally remove Yao Yuantu from Jiangnan because of the personnel change in Jiangnan?"

"Yao Yuantu himself is definitely not willing," Shen Jiangdong sighed, "Since Emperor Wuzong rehabilitated the Huan Temple, the servants no longer manage the affairs of the Weaving Bureau, but the local government is looking after them. In recent years, the Yuhang Weaving Bureau and Mingzhou Shipping Department Yao Yuantu has often intervened in the accounts. If he moves, can he account for these old accounts?"

Ye Lancheng seemed hesitant to speak, and said for a while, "Mrs. Cheng Ping came to see me and said she wanted to marry me..."

Ye Lancheng pulled everyone's thoughts away from Yao Yuantu, and said something about himself. Shen Jiangdong rarely showed anger when he heard this. Jiang Feng smoothed things over, and Ye Lancheng left first.

As soon as he left, Shen Jiangdong said: "Nonsense!"

Ye Lancheng opened his mouth to marry Shen Huanhua's former maid, Xiaying, as his successor. Shen Jiangdong knew that his marriage to Xiaying was not about love, but about Xiaying. family in-laws.

"Why are you angry?"

"Isn't he messing around? Let the queen know, what will the queen think?"

Jiang Feng said: "It's no wonder the queen knows how to control!"

Shen Jiangdong was angry, Xia Ying came in and reported: "Mr. Wu is here."

Wu Zhenying never came to Jiaguo Mansion, the only exception was after Shen Jiangdong had an accident in Xinjian in the summer of 19 in Xining.This time he came here at night, Jiang Feng didn't know what was going on with him.Wu Zhenying didn't say anything, Jiang Feng just said: "I also explained that my son is going to my uncle."

Wu Zhenying said: "I stopped by and wanted to ask you something." He didn't move forward as he said that, he stood under the screen wall and asked Jiang Feng, "Siqing's family name is Ye, right?"

Jiang Feng said, "That's right, what's wrong?"

Wu Zhenying hesitated for a moment, Jiang Feng said: "Uncle, go into the room and talk."

The two walked into Shen Jiangdong's residence and greeted Shen Jiangdong. Wu Zhenying suddenly asked, "Ye Qiuling, what does it have to do with her family?"

Jiang Feng was slightly startled, "Ye Qiuling is Ye Xiufeng's fourth brother and the queen's fourth uncle. Why did you think of asking him?"

"After we went to Fuzhou, Siqing wrote to Lao Lu and asked Lao Lu to help her find someone." Wu Zhenying said to Jiang Feng.

Shen Jiangdong asked: "The empress asked your people to investigate Ye Qiuling?"

Wu Zhenying nodded, "This person is not very clean, lending loan sharks is a trivial matter, he has a share of the gambling table in the east of the city, and he also engages in... Wuxiang drugs."

Jiang Feng said: "I said this time that Brother Lan Cheng hasn't come back yet, why did Sifang agree to separate the family? It turns out that the queen checked his details."

"I'm not interested in what Siqing wants to do," Wu Zhenying sighed, "I'm just curious. After all, none of the things Siqing asked me to ask was trivial. She would never write to me for an irrelevant person. Lao Lu, as soon as I ask you, I will know." After finishing speaking, he was about to leave.

Jiang Feng quickly asked: "Uncle, is Lin Shiyi's disciple and Du Sizhong's colleague Xu Wenchang in contact with you?"

"Not with me," Wu Zhenying said, "There may be a relationship with Liang. In the past, Xu Wenchang probably knew a little about Brother Fu's involvement in the case. Xu Wenchang used to take the lead in Ye Qiuling's black fragrance. To be honest, such a People have always held high positions..." Wu Zhenying shook her head, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Feng said: "He did not do things properly, he should be used to fill the brazier. He may be involved in the rebellion of King Kang's mansion. Tell Brother Gu to stay away from him."

Wu Zhenying said, "I know."

Shen Jiangdong said: "I don't understand why Xu Wenchang cut off the mat with Ye's family after Ye Xiufeng died, and then made people inside and out."

"As soon as Ye Xiufeng died, he broke up with the Ye family. Later, when his daughter died like that, he and He Shizhi couldn't get along. It's not surprising that he wanted to change families," Jiang Feng said.

Shen Jiangdong asked: "Uncle, it is said that Xu Wenchang, the household secretary, and Yao Yuantu, Zhejiang Fuyuan, both came from the Gushan Club. Why do they have such different political views? Also, Xu Wenchang and Du Sizhong came from the same school. They don't seem to be in harmony, you know Is there a reason?"

Wu Zhenying said: "You have to ask Brother Fu. I heard Brother Fu mention one or two things before. Before the case of Lord Jingguo and Yu Yunhe, Lin Shiyi and Zheng Yiqin in the Gushan Society parted ways. Zheng Yiqin was a minister, and Lin Shiyi never served Ordinarily, they shouldn't have conflicts. After Yu Yunhe's case happened, Yao Yuantu took more control, Xu Wenchang made it clear, and since then, the Gushan Club has been in disarray."

Jiang Feng asked in a low voice: "Brother Liang Fen said today, what is Xu Wenchang, what is His Highness holding grudges?"

Wu Zhenying smiled, "Oh, I know that. After the case of Yu Yunhe, Brother Fu abandoned his family property and concealed his identity. It was very embarrassing for a time. That year when Xu Wenchang's mentor Lin Shiyi celebrated his birthday, Xu Wenchang went to Lin's house, and Brother Fu happened to be there too. The Lin family. Xu Wenchang saw that Brother Fu was so embarrassing, and he was dragging a pair of young children. At that time, who knew that Siqing was Ye Xiufeng's daughter. Then Xu Wenchang talked a lot, saying that Brother Fu would be kind, and his family is not good, so keep a brother Forget it, why don't you sell the girl and keep it for nothing? Isn't that girl Siqing?"

Jiang Feng said: "No wonder Du Sizhong looked unhappy."

Wu Zhenying said with a smile: "Whether Siqing holds grudges or not, then I don't know."

After he sat down for a while, he got up to say goodbye. Jiang Feng sent him out. When he came back, he saw Shen Jiangdong's face was flushed, so he asked, "Are you all right?"

Shen Jiangdong shook his head, "It turns out that the queen checked the details of the fourth house."

Jiang Feng said: "Ye Lanmo is dead."

"Who? Didn't you just adopt to the Li family?"

"It's not that one, it's the younger sister of the one adopted to the Li family."

Shen Jiangdong asked: "How did you die?"

Jiang Feng shook his head, "I only know that he was killed."

"What does the queen want to do?"

"How would I know."

Shen Jiangdong said: "Well, we don't care about their Ye family's affairs. How did you find out about Xu Wenchang?"

"Kang Wang's mansion has the ability to support thousands of private soldiers, where does the money come from?" Jiang Feng said, "Your Majesty and the Empress want to use this to expose the sin of Anping County King's defeat and Kang Wang's mansion's treason. Who is helping Kang Wang's mansion? Xiao Xu, or which clansmen are helping Xiao Xu? Your Majesty has been with the Ninja Kings for a long time, haven’t they?”

Shen Jiangdong raised his eyes, "The boundaries of the military and guards of the government are getting more and more outrageous. From law and order to economy, isn't it too much?"

Jiang Feng said: "Then you can impeach me."

Shen Jiangdong smiled, "Do you know what the consequences of your actions will be? In the early years of Xining, an official wrote a letter saying, 'Your Majesty's mighty handle has been stolen by the kings'. Your Majesty wanted such a plan, and the Queen wanted it. Zong The kings also want it. Your Majesty wants to get rid of the constraints of the Zongwang, so there will be no chaos ahead. But as long as your Majesty makes a move, the kings of Duankang'an will want to continue the battle ahead."

Xiao Yi knew that the attendants could not find Siqing, and that Siqing must have gone to Xiyuan to go up to the small island near the south bank of Taiye Pond, so he carried the lantern in one hand and the civet cat in the other, and went to the south bank to look for Siqing.The lantern went out on the way, Xiao Yi simply put the lantern on the ground.

Walk along the arch bridge on the south bank of Taiye Pool to the island, pass through an archway, and climb up the spiral stone steps, facing two tall poplar trees.On the high place of the island, a platform is built of smooth mirror marble, and there is a temple named Qiongyu.

The hall was not lit, so Xiao Yi went in and circled around, and there was no one there.He was feeling strange, but someone said: "Look up."

Then under the bright moonlight, Xiao Yi saw a person standing on the mountain top of the main hall, whose clothes fluttered like celestial beings, it was Siqing.

Xiao Yi said, "How did you get up there?"

Siqing said, "You come up too."

Xiao Yi lifted the civet cat, "I'm still holding it."

Siqing smiled and said, "Let go of it, it will know to go back to Ninghua Palace by itself."

Xiao Yi had no choice but to carry the cat into the hall, groped his way to the second floor, and climbed to the top of the hall from the side window on the second floor.The cat didn't make a sound, and grabbed Xiao Yi's collar tightly.Siqing took the cat, "What did you bring it for?"

"It insists on following me," Xiao Yi said, "Yun Chu said he couldn't find you, so I knew you were here again."

Siqing pointed to the brilliant lights of the imperial city in the distance, "I remembered that poem again, the mountains and rivers are never dark and the moon is thousands of miles away. Look, how beautiful it is here."

Xiao Yi said: "I also liked coming here when I was young, but my mother didn't like me coming here, and I don't know why." Xiao Yi mentioned the late Empress Dowager Renkang.

Siqing leaned her head on Xiao Yi's shoulder, and sighed, "It's good here, there's no fireworks."

The cat tried its best to break free from Siqing, and hung on Xiao Yi's collar, preventing Siqing from leaning against Xiao Yi. Siqing smiled and said, "It's jealous of me again."

Xiao Yi said, "What happened today?"

"First, I met Du Sizhong. Didn't I tell you? Then brother actually brought Ye Lancheng to see Uncle Fu," Siqing said, "I don't want to worry about anything, third brother, let me be quiet during this time."

"Would you like Lan Cheng to stay in Beijing?"

"Whatever, just don't let me see him."

Xiao Yi said: "I thought after so many years, you wouldn't care about the Ye family anymore."

Siqing shook her head, "I can't help but think of many things about my childhood. When I was young, I didn't know what it meant to have no parents. My brother was already a magistrate when he followed Uncle Fu, so he always called him Uncle Fu. I When I was very young, I always wanted to call Uncle Fu Daddy. But Uncle Fu disagreed. He often said that because of the disaster in the south of the Yangtze River when he was born, he felt that my parents must have had a hard time abandoning me. He named me "Siqing" ', I also feel that my parents will definitely miss me, and hope that one day I can find my biological parents."

Xiao Yi said: "Mr. Fu is kind-hearted."

Siqing said: "Yes, Uncle Fu is soft-hearted. I remember when I was young, the neighbor next door hunted a big rabbit, and the big rabbit gave birth to a litter of little rabbits. He saw that the family had no shortage of food, but he was afraid that the little rabbits would be killed." I killed them, so I begged the little rabbits to be raised at home. The little rabbits grew up and jumped up and down, and bit my felt-soled shoes to pieces. My brother was afraid of rabbit fur, and would sneeze if he got close to the rabbit. He kept the rabbit in the In the iron cage in the yard, I secretly let the rabbit out, causing him to fight with the rabbit for [-] rounds every day to prevent the rabbit from escaping into the house."

Xiao Yi smiled, "Mr. Fu never got married?"

Si Qing said: "My brother said that he had an engagement, but it's a pity that the other's beauty is unlucky, and uncle is still sad. It is also because of this accident that uncle went away to study medicine."

Xiao Yi said: "So many years have passed and you haven't gotten married again?"

Siqing nodded, "Uncle Fu's family is not very good, and I was afraid that his new wife would not be able to accommodate our brothers and sisters after he got married, so he never remarried. In fact, he is not good at management. My brother, who made money, did not follow uncle I learned it. Looking back now, it was not easy for him to drag me and my brother when I was a child. I remember that one year when the family had plague, I was still young, and Uncle Fu sent me to the Lin family—the home of Mr. Lin Shiyi, the teacher of Du Sizhong and Xu Wenchang. Although no one in his family came out to be an official in this generation, but after all, he is a prominent family in Jiangzuo, and the family has property and land. At that time, the sister-in-law of the Lin family was probably in her 20s and [-]s. She played with me at night. I fell asleep in the middle of the night, and heard her talking to the girl about my pity. But to be honest, I didn't feel much at that time. "

"When I was older, before the case of Yu Yunhe, Uncle Wu's family came to see a doctor for Uncle Fu and lived in our house. At that time, I knew that Uncle Wu's family had been helping us a lot. When the case of Yu Yunhe happened, Uncle Wu's family I brought my brother and sister to live in Lin’s house again. One night my brother’s fourth uncle ran to the Lin’s house from Xiangyang to pick him up, but he refused to go back with him. At that time, I vaguely understood that they all had I am the only one who does not have blood relatives. Later, the remaining cases became more and more serious, and we were worried about staying in the Lin family. After all, there were a few more people in the Lin family. The uncle of the Wu family took us out of the Lin family again, and once wanted to take us back to Beijing, because he was afraid of going too far away. I didn’t give up until I got Uncle Fu’s letter. I thought later, where were the Ye family when I was hiding and fearful?”

Xiao Yi said: "Maybe the Ye family also looked for you back then, but they didn't find you."

Siqing smiled, "Yeah, I thought about it too, so I promised Ye Lancheng to come back to Beijing in 13 in Xining. Ye Lancheng should have known from the beginning to the end that it was a trick to lie to me, and he didn't say anything. The first The person who reminded me to be careful was Huanhua. Uncle raised me up so much, and the Ye family asked me to change my surname to Ye, it’s fine, but no matter what, they should pay back Uncle Fu’s kindness.”
