Do you know: I am Yuan Wenshao

Chapter 116 Method (for Subscription)

On the second day of the lunar new year, my aunt's family came to visit. The two families decided on the marriage between Chen Xian and Yuan Wenying, and waited for Yuan Wenying to get married at a later date.

Originally, Yuan Wenshao was supposed to accompany Hualan back to her parents' home in the second year of junior high school, but because his sister was engaged, he couldn't leave, so he had to send someone to the Sheng family to inform him that it was changed to the third year of junior high school.

For a while, Yuan Wenshao either visited relatives and friends or entertained guests at home. It was not until the Lantern Festival that he had some leisure time.

On this day, Yuan Wenshao was practicing martial arts at home, and his servants came to report that Sheng Changbai and Sheng Changwu had arrived.

Yuan Wenshao wiped his sweat, went back to his room, washed up, changed his clothes, and came to the main hall.

In the main hall, Hua Lan was talking to the two of them, but his expression was not good.

"What happened?" Yuan Wenshao asked confused.

"Official, there is a letter from my uncle saying that Shulan's husband has been suspended for investigation because of corruption and bribery." Hualan said.

Yuan Wenshao frowned slightly and said, "I know a little about Fang Hang's character, and with my uncle as my father-in-law, he should not be corrupt."

The salaries of officials in the Great Zhou Dynasty are not low, but being an official requires high and low management on weekdays, and the cost of welcoming and sending them is very high.

Salary alone is definitely not enough.

This is why Sheng Wei sends a lot of money to Erfang every year.

The cousin has already been given away, and his son-in-law must not be left out. How could Fang Hang engage in corruption and affect his future when he is not short of money.

"Brother-in-law, my brother-in-law was wrongly accused. Now he is detained by Shouzhou Zhizhou in the name of assisting in the investigation. My sister is very anxious and doesn't know what to do. She can only send someone to inform my father. Father I took my eldest brother and rushed over there. I tried my best but couldn't even see anyone. My father had no choice but to send someone to deliver a letter and ask my uncle to help inquire to see if he had offended anyone. After some inquiries, my uncle found out that There is no news at all. I can only come to ask for help from my eldest brother-in-law." Chang Wu told the story again with an anxious look on his face.

"Don't worry. We are just assisting the investigation now, not convicting. Since it has not been settled for so long, it means there is insufficient evidence. Moreover, the magistrate of Shouzhou has no right to detain a county magistrate for so long. You go back first, and I will find someone to inquire. ." Yuan Wenshao said.

The magistrates of the Zhou Dynasty were not governors of a single state, but governors at the state level.

The full name of Zhizhou is Quan Zhijunzhoushi. To put it simply, it is equivalent to the permanent imperial envoy sent by the imperial court to the local area. It does not have the right to directly intervene in local government and military affairs.

Although the Zhizhou has the authority to deal with the corruption and bribery of officials, but without actual evidence, the Zhizhou cannot keep detaining the officials.

"Thank you, elder brother-in-law." Chang Wu said gratefully.

"We are all a family, so why are you so polite? If you are upset right now, please take leave to rest at home. If there is any news from my side, I will tell you as soon as possible. Changbai, if you have nothing to do, please stay with him as long as possible to save him from having random thoughts." Yuan Wenshao said.

Changbai understood what Yuan Wenshao meant and said, "Don't worry, brother-in-law, I will watch over him."

After seeing the two of them off, Hua Lan said worriedly: "Sir, will my brother-in-law be okay?"

Yuan Wenshao pretended to be relaxed and said: "What could be the matter? If there is something, the other party will definitely prepare enough evidence and other things, and it will not be as simple as assisting in the investigation. I guess he has offended someone, and the other party wants to give him a Warning, maybe they have been released by now. Don’t worry, I’ll find someone to inquire about it now.”

In fact, he was not so optimistic in his heart.

Sheng Wei rushed there in person, and he must have spent a lot of money, but there was no news at all, and he didn't even see anyone, which showed that things were not that simple.

But if someone really framed Fang Hang, even Sheng Wei couldn't find out the information. Obviously the person who did it was of high status.

In this case, there are ways to prove the charges.

But the other party didn't do this, and just arrested Fang Hang on the pretext of corruption and bribery.

Fang Hang is just a small county magistrate. If you want to deal with him, there is no need to go to such trouble.

Yuan Wenshao guessed whether this incident was directed at him.

After comforting Hua Lan, Yuan Wenshao took Zhang An and left home.

After leaving the mansion, Yuan Wenshao said: "Zhang An, go and find out the news about the magistrate of Shouzhou. The more detailed the better. After you find out more about it, come to Fanlou to find me."

"Yes." Zhang An responded and hurried away.

Yuan Wenshao came to Fanlou, asked for a private room, ordered a pot of tea and some snacks, and waited.

He is a military commander and has a bad relationship with civil servants. In addition, he always remembers Sun Qi's advice back then and does not dare to have close contacts with civil servants. He usually associates with lords.

He couldn't find out anything about this kind of thing.

But what needs to be clarified most right now is whether this matter is aimed at him or Fang Hang.

Yuan Wenshao asked himself that he had not offended anyone. Once he found out who Shouzhou Zhizhou was related to, things would become clearer.

After waiting for more than an hour, Zhang An came back.

"Master, I..."

"Don't worry, drink some water first, sit down and talk slowly."

Yuan Wenshao poured a cup of tea and handed it over.

Zhang An took a few sips and drank it all, put down the cup, sat down next to Yuan Wenshao, and said: "Master, I asked about it. The name of the magistrate of Shouzhou is Hu Tingzhang. He was promoted in the third year of Yonghe. He was promoted from the Ministry of Rites to the magistrate of Shouzhou the year before last. He There are many officials who are familiar with each other in the six ministries, and the contacts are not close. However, Hu Tingzhang and Chen Shunyi, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, are sons and daughters."

Yuan Wenshao narrowed his eyes when he heard this. Chen Shunyi, the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, stood up to support King Yan early. It was considered that King Yan had attracted the highest-ranking civil servant.

Looking at it this way, this matter is probably related to King Yan.

"Are you going to give me a warning, or force me to make a decision?" Yuan Wenshao couldn't guess King Yan's intention for a while.

After thinking for a long time and having no clue, Yuan Wenshao shook his head and said to Ning Yuan behind him: "Do you think this matter was instigated by King Yan?"

Ning Yuan muttered: "Uncle, I feel that even if this matter was not instigated by King Yan, it was done by someone who wanted to please King Yan, so it doesn't matter whether it is true or not."

"Yes, yes or no is no longer important." Yuan Wenshao murmured.

"Uncle, I don't think you need to worry." Ning Yuan said.

"Oh?" Yuan Wenshao was startled and asked, "How do you say that?"

"Even if King Yan didn't instigate this matter, King Yan should know about it by now. King Yan just wanted to win over the uncle, not to push him to King Yong, so this incident is just a warning to the uncle at most. ." Ning Yuan said.

"You are right." Yuan Wenshao thought about it carefully and breathed a sigh of relief.

King Yan probably did this to give him a warning and to show off his muscles.

It was impossible to really care about Fang Hang, otherwise he would be forced to do more harm than good and seek refuge with King Yong, and the gain would outweigh the loss.

But if he doesn't respond for a long time, who knows what King Yan will do next.

At this moment, the guard's voice came from outside: "Uncle, there is a man who claims to be a retainer of King Yan asking to see you."

Yuan Wenshao's face darkened when he heard this, and he said, "Let him in." He had just received the news, and after investigating, King Yan's retainers arrived, which showed that his every move was under King Yan's surveillance.

The door opened, and a middle-aged man with a goatee and a slightly fat figure walked in. He smiled and said with a cupped hand: "I've seen my uncle before."

Yuan Wenshao said calmly: "I wonder what the purpose of His Highness King Yan sent you here?"

"Haha, His Highness is very thirsty for talents and admires my uncle very much. I heard that my uncle encountered some troubles, so he helped him solve it. He specially sent the young man to inform him so that he didn't have to worry about it." The middle-aged man smiled.

"Please go back and tell His Highness King Yan that I understand this matter. Thank you very much for Your Highness's kindness." Yuan Wenshao said.

The middle-aged man said: "Your Highness has prepared a banquet at your residence. If you want to entertain your uncle, why don't you tell your highness in person?"

"No need, I am the commander of the first battalion of the Western Suburbs Camp. It is not appropriate to have contact with the clan." Yuan Wenshao refused.

The smile on the middle-aged man's face froze and he said, "If uncle doesn't give His Highness face, Your Highness may not take care of it if he encounters trouble again in the future."

Yuan Wenshao said coldly: "It doesn't matter. If I encounter trouble again in the future, I will ask His Highness King Yong. I think His Highness King Yong will be happy to help."

The middle-aged man said with an ugly face: "In that case, I will go back and resume my life."

"Excuse me, please tell His Highness Prince Yan that I have no ambitions and just want to live my own small life. I don't want to get involved in some things." Yuan Wenshao said.

"Don't worry, uncle, I will definitely bring this to you." After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he bowed his hands and turned to leave.

Yuan Wenshao rubbed his head and said, "Let's go back first."

Back at the mansion, Yuan Wenshao said to Ning Yuan: "Go back and tell your grandfather that I will wait for him in the study."

"Yes." Ning Yuan responded.

Yuan Wenshao returned to the study and waited for a while before Ning Zhiguang walked in.

"I've met uncle." Ning Zhiguang saluted.

"sit down."

"Uncle Xie."

After Ning Zhiguang sat down, Yuan Wenshao said, "Did Ning Yuan tell you?"

"Already said." Ning Zhiguang nodded.

"Have you thought of the solution I asked you to think about before? Now King Yan is just giving me a warning. If he loses patience later, who knows what he will do. I need a way to stop him from staring at me all the time." Yuan Wenshao said .

Ning Zhiguang smiled bitterly and said: "Uncle, Bianjing is at the forefront of the storm. My uncle has a special status. Regardless of whether he is the King of Yong or the King of Yan, they are worried that he will support the other and will not give up so easily. The best way is to leave. Bianjing.”

Yuan Wenshao said displeased: "You mean it's been so long and you still haven't figured out a way?"

Ning Zhiguang did not answer this question, but asked instead: "Even if things develop as uncle expected, I still think that supporting King Yan has the greatest benefit. The possibilities that uncle mentioned can be resolved in advance."

Yuan Wenshao has naturally thought about this, but sometimes you have to believe in fate.

Before King Yan rebelled, he also considered that the nearby clan would ask King Qin to rescue him and sent an assassin to assassinate him.

Even Zhao Zongquan, a member of the Taizu lineage, was not spared.

As a result, Zhao Zongquan did not die under the protection of Gu Tingye and others. Instead, he was persuaded by Gu Tingye and others to go to Beijing to complain to the officials.

When they arrived near the capital, they happened to meet Minglan who was carrying a blood edict.

If they had not entered the capital, even if they received the blood edict later, King Yan might have forced the officials to write the edict of passing the throne and took control of the western suburbs camp.

At that time, even if Zhao Zongquan had a blood edict, he might not be able to correct the chaos.

Although Yuan Wenshao knows this, he may not be able to change it.

Just like when he asked Gu Tingye to bring a message to Wei Xiaoniang.

Although the baby in Wei Xiaoniang's belly was saved, Wei Xiaoniang still died.

If he uses his knowledge of the future to help King Yan, it will also change the trajectory of the future. Who knows where things will develop?

And as a time traveler, the biggest advantage is the understanding of the future.

Even if he succeeds and King Yan succeeds to the throne, the future will become uncontrollable.

Therefore, Yuan Wenshao did not want to take risks and still wanted Zhao Zongquan to succeed.

But he couldn't explain this to Ning Zhiguang, so he could only say: "Just do as I say."

Seeing Yuan Wenshao's insistence, Ning Zhiguang said: "According to uncle's guess, King Yan wants to rebel. If this is true, uncle's identity is sensitive and King Yan cannot give up. And King Yong only wants to win over uncle for money, but He is not as determined as King Yan to win. If my uncle wants to keep the eyes of King Yong and King Yan away from him, he has only one way."

Yuan Wenshao was a little speechless. These literati just liked to show off, but he still cooperated and asked: "What can we do?"

"Find a way to offend King Yong, and the more severe the offense, the better. In this way, King Yan will not worry about my uncle joining King Yong, and he will not press on my uncle step by step." Ning Zhiguang said.

Yuan Wenshao frowned slightly. Princess Yong had Rong Feiyan kidnapped because she was jealous of Rong Feiyan and her daughter.

It can be seen that his nature is very arrogant and domineering.

Who knows if King Yong also has such a character.

If King Yong is offended too much, who knows what he will do.

Ning Zhiguang saw Yuan Wenshao's face and probably guessed what he was thinking, and said, "Uncle, are you worried about King Yong's revenge?"

"That's right, I heard people say that King Yong's temper will lead to revenge. If he really takes revenge, how should I deal with it?" Yuan Wenshao said.

"If the situation develops as I guess, I don't have to worry at all. Before King Yong is established as the crown prince, he will not dare to take action against the Lord. And if King Yan really wants to rebel, he will not be able to wait until King Yong is established. As the prince. Because when that time comes, the officials will let him return to the fiefdom, and he will have no chance." Ning Zhiguang said.

Yuan Wenshao couldn't tell that Ning Zhiyuan was controlling his army.

What Ning Zhiguang means is that all my ideas are based on your view of the future situation.

As long as your guess is correct, there will be no problem with my idea.

Yuan Wenshao is a reborn person. Although some things have changed because of his existence, the overall situation will definitely not change.

Therefore, he must have confidence, but he has no confidence in King Yong.

Even if he becomes the prince, he dares to attack the sister of the official's favorite concubine before the official is dead, which shows how courageous he is.
