Do you know: I am Yuan Wenshao

Chapter 150 Thunder and Rain
But this incident also made Yuan Wenshao see the usefulness of Aunt Kang.

People like Aunt Kang are toads. Even looking at them is disgusting, let alone being stained with them.

However, she is Hua Lan's biological aunt. When someone comes to visit her, she has to see her. If she gets anxious, she doesn't know what crazy things she will do.

The reason why Yuan Wenshao agreed was that he wanted to keep it for himself and then release it to disgust others.

But after thinking about it carefully, he felt something was wrong.

It is difficult to control people like Aunt Kang. If you let her do things, it will be like giving her an excuse.

Who knows if Aunt Kang will threaten him in turn in the future.

Based on this consideration, Yuan Wenshao gave up the idea.

Unexpectedly, I really got useful information from Aunt Kang this time with the attitude of giving it a try.

Although there was too little information to help him much, it could make him prepare.

……

"It's already summer, and several states in the north haven't had rain for several months. There's a fear of drought. I'll go back and draft a charter to ask local officials to organize people to store river water for irrigation. The Ministry of Household Affairs also needs to raise food and grass and make preparations for disaster relief. ." The official said.

"Yes." Officials from the Zhongshu Provincial Department and the Ministry of Household Affairs responded.

"If there is nothing else, just retreat from the court." The official said.

At this moment, an official came out of the Ka Yuan's queue.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report." Feng Min said.

The official said calmly: "Tell me."

"Your Majesty, I want to impeach Jiang Ping, the military quartermaster of Xiaoyong Camp, for embezzling money and perverting the law. As the commander of Xiaoyong Camp, Zhongyong Bo also has an unshirkable responsibility." Feng Min said.

"Is there any evidence?" the official asked.

"This is what I discovered through secret investigation. There are also testimonies from many people. Please let the officials take a look." Feng Min said, holding a memorial in both hands.

The eunuch in charge came forward, took the memorial, and presented it.

Yuan Wenshao frowned slightly. He originally thought that Feng Min was looking for problems in him when he impeached him, but he didn't expect that Feng Min was starting from the Xiaoyong camp.

Although the quartermaster of Xiaoyong Camp was under his jurisdiction, in fact the entire logistics of the western suburbs camp was managed by the general in charge of baggage.

He was negligent at best, how guilty could he be?
After the official finished reading, he looked at Yuan Wenshao and said, "Does Uncle Zhongyong have anything to explain?"

"I was negligent. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Yuan Wenshao bowed.

Since Feng Min has provided evidence, it is definitely not false.

"This matter has nothing to do with you, but as the general of the Xiaoyong Camp, you are also responsible for not noticing it in advance." The official was silent for a while and said: "From now on, you will step down as the general of the Xiaoyong Camp. .”

After the official finished speaking, many people looked surprised.

It stands to reason that if Yuan Wenshao did this kind of thing, it would be an oversight at most, and if he did it too much, he would be fined a little salary.

This dynasty is different from other dynasties. Officials are officials and positions are positions.

Yuan Wenshao was previously a fourth-grade General Zhongwu. Over the years, he was promoted one level and became a third-grade General Yunhui. This is an official.

And it is his duty to let him take charge of the brave camp.

There were more than 3 officials in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but the actual positions were less than [-]. Nearly half of the officials were only officials but no positions.

The officials did not remove Yuan Wenshao from his official position, but removed him from his position. This punishment was a bit severe.

Many people came to their senses and began to think about the officials' intentions in doing this.

There were also some who were unhappy with Yuan Wenshao, and looked at Yuan Wenshao with eyes full of amusement and ridicule.

Yuan Wenshao was also stunned by this punishment, but he quickly came to his senses and saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Thunder and rain are all grace.

Even though the officials punished him a bit harshly, he could only express gratitude.

Yuan Wenshao speculated in his heart that it was the official suspicion caused by Prince Yan's visit that took the opportunity to seize his military power.

To be honest, the imperial court took very strict precautions against military generals and separated them. This military power was not important, and it would be gone if it was gone.

But he had planned before that when Zhao Zongquan received the blood edict, he would respond immediately and help Zhao Zongquan put down the rebellion.

Now that he has lost his position as the commander of the heroic camp, his plans have been completely disrupted.

King Yong's face showed a hint of joy, and he looked at King Yan with some pride.

When he dealt with Yuan Wenshao, he really suspected that Yuan Wenshao had defected to King Yan.

However, he asked people to investigate Yuan Wenshao, but no clues were found.

There is no way, Yuan Wenshao himself is rich and cannot commit corruption, and he rarely interacts with officials in the DPRK and China.

Of course, it's not without problems.

Yuan Wenshao once arranged positions for the younger brother of Kang Jin and his sister-in-law Feng, which was definitely not in compliance with the regulations.

But there are many people doing this kind of thing, and Yuan Wenshao is not the only one. It is an unspoken rule.

Just like Bing Jing and Tan Jing, who are civil servants who accept filial piety from local officials, they are also considered bribes. However, neither Dali Temple nor the Ministry of Punishment will classify this as corruption when investigating cases of official corruption.

Because most civil servants have accepted this thing, and no one dares to expose it.

In desperation, King Yong could only start elsewhere.

In the end, the quartermaster of Xiaoyong Camp was found to be corrupt. Although Yuan Wenshao could not be held accountable for this matter, Yuan Wenshao was also responsible. This was a warning to Yuan Wenshao first.

Otherwise, if Yuan Wenshao had rejected his advances before and turned to King Yan, how would others see him if he had been inactive for a long time?

Unexpectedly, the officials punished Yuan Wenshao so severely. He felt that the officials must be suppressing King Yan by doing so.

King Yan noticed King Yong's gaze and ignored it, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Let's dismiss the court." After the official said, he stood up and left the hall.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

After the morning court, as soon as Yuan Wenshao arrived home, Yuan Weichang, Sheng Hong and Wang Dongyang arrived.

"Dad, father-in-law, uncle, please sit down quickly."

Yuan Wenshao knew that they had something to ask, so he asked his servants to bring tea and not let them go down.

"Erlang, what's going on? Is it possible that you really took refuge in King Yan?" Yuan Weichang asked.

"Dad, how dare I get involved in this kind of thing? Didn't I tell you everything about Prince Yan's visit last time?" Yuan Wenshao shook his head.

"Then how come the official dismissed you from your post because of this matter?" Yuan Weichang frowned slightly.

Yuan Wenshao smiled bitterly and said, "How would I know."

He is very confused now. He has been thinking about it for so long and now it is all messed up.

"My father-in-law, the official was only removed from office, not dismissed. Maybe he has other uses." Sheng Hong consoled him.

He and Wang Dongyang came here originally wanting to ask about the reason, but when they saw that Yuan Weichang couldn't ask anything, they didn't ask.Seeing that they couldn't find anything, the three comforted Yuan Wenshao for a few words and left.

As soon as they left, Hua Lan walked in.

"Officials, father-in-law and the others suddenly came over. Did something happen?" Hualan asked.

Yuan Wenshao told Hua Lan what happened in the early morning court, and he couldn't hide this kind of thing.

"Guanren, are you okay?" Hua Lan asked worriedly.

"What can happen to me? This matter is still a good thing for me. After all, I will not be removed from office. King Yong and King Yan have always been watching me, causing trouble. Now it's better. I have no value, and they won't keep their eye on me." I won’t let you go.”

Yuan Wenshao originally wanted to comfort Hua Lan, but the more he talked, the brighter his eyes became.

He had been falling into a misunderstanding, thinking that by taking charge of the Xiaoyong Camp, he would be able to take the lead in responding to Zhao Zongquan's rebellion and make the first contribution.

But I forgot that in the play, Gu Tingye went to the western suburbs camp with a blood edict to mobilize troops. Someone did respond, but it seemed that he was not reused.

Zhao Zongquan fully attributed this contribution to Gu Tingye.

Even if he is not from the Gu family, Zhao Zongquan may not trust him because of this.

After all, Gu Tingye was able to gain his trust because he saved Zhao Zongquan's life when he was still young and integrated into the Yuzhou circle.

After thinking about this, Yuan Wenshao suddenly realized that being dismissed from office was indeed not a bad thing. Without his position, King Yong and King Yan would not keep an eye on him.

And he can also seek to be released outside and find opportunities to contact Zhao Zongquan.

At the worst, he could wait until Zhao Zongquan came to Beijing and send secret guards to protect his family.

Look at little Zou, just because her sister saved the future queen, she was able to consecrate all her concubines.

After thinking about this, Yuan Wenshao happily hugged Hua Lan, kissed her, and said with a smile: "Madam, you are really my lucky star."

If it weren't for the purpose of comforting Hua Lan, he might still be getting into trouble.

"My lord, I don't know how to pay attention in broad daylight. If someone sees me, how can I behave?" Hua Lan said with a blushing face.

"Haha, I don't know who was pestering me last night..."

"Don't tell me."

Hua Lan covered his mouth in embarrassment. A few days ago, she had already finished taking the medicine for a month. In order to conceive the child, she took the initiative at night.

But how can we talk about this kind of thing?

But she felt relieved when she saw that Yuan Wenshao was really fine.

……

The funeral of Marquis Ningyuan took more than a month before he was buried.

Yuan Wenshao was not related to the Gu family, so he did not need to attend the funeral. However, on this day, he and Chang Bai accompanied Gu Tingye and followed the funeral procession from a distance.

Xiao Qin was indeed ruthless, driving Gu Tingye out of the Gu family and not even giving his father a chance to honor him and bury him.

However, the fact that Gu Tingye was angry with his father to death has spread throughout Bianjing. Coupled with the image Xiao Qin has deliberately built up over the years, no one thinks that Xiao Qin has done something wrong.

Of course, the Xiao Qin family only drove Gu Tingye out of the Gu family and had no ability to remove him from the family tree. Gu Tingye was still a member of the Gu family.

When Gu Yankai was buried, the Gu family paid their respects and left.

Only then did Gu Tingye come to the grave, unpack his bags and put on the prepared filial robe.

Yuan Wenshao and Chang Bai took out the money papers and put them on the table.

Gu Tingye knelt in front of the grave without saying a word, burned the money and paper, kowtowed three times, and then stood up.

"Be careful."

Because he had been kneeling for too long, Gu Tingye's legs were numb when he stood up. Yuan Wenshao and Chang Bai quickly supported him.

Gu Tingye calmed down for a while and regained consciousness in his legs. He took one last look at his father's tombstone and said, "Let's go."

"What are your plans for the future?" Yuan Wenshao asked.

Gu Tingye was silent for a while and laughed at himself: "It stands to reason that I should keep my father's filial piety for three years, but I think my father doesn't want to see me, an unfilial son, appearing in front of him every day."

"Zhong Huai, I think the reason why the old Marquis is so strict with you is not that he doesn't like you, but that he has high hopes for you." Yuan Wenshao said.

Gu Tingye smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Father, he beats and scolds me all the time. How can he have high hopes for me?"

"I think the eldest brother-in-law is right. I've also heard about your third brother. He often went to Goulanwashe when he was young. The old marquis reprimanded him a few times at most, but never beat him or scolded him. As the saying goes, deep love leads to deep punishment. . The old Marquis has high hopes for you, so he is so strict with you. After all, your brother has always been in poor health and has no heirs. The Gu family will always rely on you," Chang Bai said.

"It's too late to say anything now. My brother and stepmother joined forces, and everyone in the four-bedroom and five-bedroom apartments helped them. No one believed what I said. Moreover, Brother Chang was taken away by that poisonous woman. I Although I want to kill that poisonous woman with my own hands, the child is innocent. No matter what, I want to find the child." Gu Tingye said.

"You are alone, the world is so big, where can you find it? Why not stay in Bianjing, we can also help you." Changbai said.

Yuan Wenshao took out a portrait from his arms, handed it to Gu Tingye, and said, "Do you recognize this person?"

Gu Tingye took it and unfolded it, and wondered: "This is the brother of that poisonous woman. How come you have his portrait?"

"I have been sending people to help you search during this period, and someone saw Mannia and the man in the portrait together." Yuan Wenshao said.

Hearing this, Gu Tingye gritted his teeth and said, "She told me that her brother owed gambling debts and ran away with the money. She is a weak woman and has no other choice, so she came to seek refuge with me."

Yuan Wenshao shook his head. He really didn't know whether Gu Tingye was smart or stupid.

Bianjing and Bailudong Academy are thousands of miles apart. If a woman can find Bailudong Academy, anyone with a little bit of brains will know that there is something wrong.

"Have you found that poisonous woman?" Gu Tingye grabbed Yuan Wenshao's shoulder and asked.

Yuan Wenshao felt the strength on his shoulders and had no doubt that now that Mannia appeared in front of Gu Tingye, Gu Tingye could tear her alive.

"No, my people traced it to a small town and found the courtyard where they lived a few days ago, but the building was already empty. I only heard that they went south. They should have heard the news of the death of the old marquis. Escaped." Yuan Wenshao said.

Yuan Wenshao's guess was correct. Zhu Dazhuang and Mannia wanted to disrupt the marriage between Gu Tingye and the Yu family. When the time came, no one would dare to marry their daughter to Gu Tingye, and they would be found by Gu Tingye again.

As time passed, Gu Tingye's anger dissipated, and maybe Mannia still had a chance to become the first wife.

As a result, I heard the news that Gu Tingye pissed his father to death.

And I also heard that it was for an outer room.

No matter how stupid they were, they knew that Gu Tingye hated them so much that they didn't dare to have sweet dreams anymore and fled Bianjing overnight.

"When I find them, I will definitely skin them." Gu Tingye gritted his teeth.

"The world is so big. You are alone. How can it be so easy to find two people? And what should I do with Sister Rong? It's better to think about it again." Chang Bai advised.

"Shitou's brother and sister-in-law are from the Caobang. There is nothing in the south that the Caobang cannot find." Gu Tingye said.

The Cao Gang was actually formed by many water transporters working as coolies, who joined together in a group in order not to be bullied.

Waterways are important transportation routes in the south. As long as Mannia and the others take the waterways, they will definitely leave clues.

Yuan Wenshao and Chang Bai looked at each other and knew that Gu Tingye had made up his mind, so they did not try to persuade him.

"When are you going to leave?"

"Without further ado, I'll be leaving early tomorrow morning."
