Do you know: I am Yuan Wenshao

Chapter 336 System
Minglan didn't bother to waste more words and said directly: "Old madam, you gave birth to this eldest lady. You know her temperament and character. It is impossible for her to do such a thing. This matter was all bewitched by Kang Wang, and so was the poison. She bought it. Now that I have obtained the evidence, I invited the Kang and Wang families to discuss how to deal with the Kang Wang family. "

As soon as Minglan said these words, the faces of the Wang family and Kang Jin all changed.

Mrs. Wang's eyes flashed. She was naturally very angry when she learned that Mrs. Kang Wang had done such a thing, but she was her daughter after all, so she naturally couldn't watch her die.

Although Mrs. Wang told her before that it was Kang Wang who bewitched her, she did not say that the Sheng family had obtained evidence.

Mrs. Wang's idea was to pretend to be confused and blame the entire incident on Mrs. Wang.

The Sheng family wanted to be famous, and since both Sheng Changbai and Hualan were born to Mrs. Wang, they would definitely intercede for Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Wang would suffer a little at most.

However, after all, Mrs. Wang has experienced strong winds and waves, and she still has her official life, so naturally she will not be confused because of this. She looked at Minglan and said calmly: "They say that married daughters throw water away. Now I and I When will your father and aunt talk to you, a married girl, to interrupt? I wonder if this is because the Sheng family has no rules, or because you have become disrespectful because you married into the Hou family? "

After saying that, he glanced at Sheng Hong.

Facing Mrs. Wang's gaze, Sheng Hong lowered his head and said nothing.

How could he offend Minglan now? Once he tried to suppress the matter and Minglan revealed it, his reputation would be ruined.

Even if he doesn't want to, he still has to stand with Minglan now.

Minglan smiled and said: "What the old lady said makes no sense. Now it is a matter of the Sheng family. Although I am married, my surname is still Sheng. On the contrary, it is the old lady. Since you said that the married daughter threw water, plus This matter is related to your two daughters, and the government’s handling of the case is related to you, so why should you avoid suspicion? What do you think, Madam?”

"Okay, very good, really sharp-tongued."

Even though it was Mrs. Wang's palace, her face was turned green and white by Ming Lan, which was very ugly.

Mrs. Wang turned to look at Sheng Hong and asked, "Second uncle, is this what you mean by not speaking?"

"Don't be angry, mother-in-law. After all, this matter involves my eldest sister. If my eldest brother-in-law doesn't come, there is something wrong." Sheng Hong said.

"Okay, very good!"

Mrs. Wang snorted coldly and said, "Tell me, what do you want to do?"

"It's very simple. The Kangwang family is left to the Sheng family, and the Kangwang family is not allowed to interfere!" Minglan said.

"Impossible!" Mrs. Wang said without even thinking.

Sheng Hong was also a little angry and said: "Brother, mother-in-law, my aunt seduced my wife and poisoned my mother. This matter must not be let go easily!"

He wanted to cover up the matter, but that was just his inner thought. In front of Wang Kang's family, he naturally had to behave like a filial son and a virtuous grandson.

Otherwise, if word spreads, he will have no shame in being a human being.

What's more, Minglan was already determined to vent his anger on Mrs. Sheng. At this time, he could only correct his attitude and not give in.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Aunt Wang's family quickly came out to smooth things over and said, "The Kangsheng family is the real owners of this matter. My mother-in-law is old, how can she stand it? Brother-in-law, please don't come after us."

She had a disdain for the Kang Wang family, and she often got into trouble. Uncle Wang, forced by the old lady, had to help her deal with the aftermath.

If the Kang Wang family had not caused some bad things in recent years and spent a lot of favors, and Old Master Wang deserved to enjoy the legacy of the Ancestral Temple, how could his official be a fifth-rank official now.

Therefore, she didn't want to care about this matter, and the Sheng family was now much stronger than the Wang family.

The Wang family has a reputation worthy of the Imperial Ancestral Temple. It sounds nice, but in fact it is really not as good as the Sheng family.

I will have to rely on the Sheng family for help in the future.

Minglan sneered and said: "What my aunt said is true, but it's a pity that the Kang Wang family doesn't think so. She is from the Wang family. Even though she is married and does such a thing, once word spreads, how can the Wang family still have the face to be seen by others?

And the reason why she is so unscrupulous is because she thinks that if something happens, the Wang family will come forward to protect her."

"enough!"

Mrs. Wang said coldly: "What's the use of talking about this now? It's my daughter's fault. No matter which daughter it is, it's my Wang family who didn't teach her well. I'm also very guilty for what happened to Mrs. Sheng. This time Come here and bring a century-old wild ginseng here to replenish Mrs. Sheng's health. When she wakes up, I will go to her in person to apologize!"

"Impossible! It doesn't matter any other compensation, but the Kang Wang family must be handed over to the Sheng family!" Minglan said.

"Don't forget, my second daughter is also involved in this matter. The three Wang Kangsheng families will be embarrassed if it gets too big." After Mrs. Wang finished speaking, she looked at Sheng Hong and said, "Xian son-in-law, you have to think clearly. ”

"Grandma, our Sheng family has thought about it very clearly. Mother has indeed made a mistake. If grandma really wants to make things worse, she will recognize whatever punishment she deserves."

At this moment, Hua Lan's voice came from outside.

As soon as the words fell, the person had already appeared at the door.

Hualan walked to her mother, helped her up from the ground, and said, "Grandma, our Sheng family has made up our mind to give grandma an explanation no matter what!"

"you…"

Mrs. Wang looked at Hua Lan in disbelief and said, "Those are your mother and aunt. They are your closest relatives. Are you really so cruel?"

"I'm not cruel. My aunt was able to poison my grandmother this time. If I let her off easily, she will definitely do it worse next time." Hua Lan said.

"Okay, since you want to handle it, let's leave it to you. Let's go!" After Mrs. Wang finished speaking, she got up and walked out.

Uncle Wang, aunt Wang, and Kang Jin were stunned for a while and then followed.

"What should we do now?" Sheng Hong asked anxiously.

Although Mrs. Wang said that she would leave the person to them, but the matter had not been settled, how could they dare to deal with it.

After all, they are not government agencies, so they do not have the right to judge and deal with matters.

Otherwise, if the Wang family goes to sue the officials, the Sheng family will be in trouble.

"Father, don't worry. Mrs. Wang did this just to show a tough stance and force our Sheng family to make concessions first. Now that the man is in our hands, we can afford it." Minglan said lightly.

"But if it takes too long, the news will always be leaked." Sheng Hong said worriedly.

"The news shouldn't be leaked in the short term. The next step is to see who can't sit still first." Minglan said.

Sheng Hong opened his mouth, sighed and said, "It's up to you."

Then he left.

"Sister, please send the lady back to the house to rest first," Minglan said.

"Yes." Hua Lan nodded and helped Mrs. Wang go.

……

In the next few days, the Wang family did not come to the door again, but Kang Jin came to the door several times, begging for mercy for his mother.

And the news that Mrs. Sheng was ill slowly spread.

On this day, Mo Lan and Liang Han went back to Sheng's house to visit Mrs. Sheng.

After sitting in Shou'an Hall for a while, Sheng Hong chatted with Liang Han, while Mo Lan went to Sheng Changfeng's yard.

The brother and sister hadn't seen each other for a while. They were overjoyed when they met. After chatting for a while, Mo Lan sent the maid away and asked, "Brother, did something happen at home?"

"What happened?" Sheng Changfeng asked confused.

"If I knew, why would I ask you? Grandma has always been strong. How could she suddenly become so ill? She was in a coma for several days. And I heard that people from the Wang family came to visit a few days ago, and their faces were ugly when they left." Mo Lan asked.

"I didn't know that during this period of time, I was so focused on studying that I never left the courtyard." Sheng Changfeng shook his head.

He wasn't telling a lie, he really didn't know.

However, the Sheng family was in turmoil during this period, and he had heard some rumors. He originally wanted to inquire about it, but was persuaded by Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu asked her to study peacefully and ignore what was going on outside.

You can't say that Sheng Hong has a good eye for people, but Liu's appearance is average. Sheng Changfeng didn't like her at first. However, Mrs. Liu was very resourceful and sent away all the warblers and swallows in Sheng Changfeng's courtyard as soon as she entered the house. Sheng Changfeng was very angry about this and did not give her a good look.

However, she didn't care. She smiled every day and arranged Sheng Changfeng's life very carefully.

He also reasoned with Sheng Changfeng out of emotion and reason.

No matter how angry Sheng Changfeng was, she was not angry.

As time passed, Sheng Changfeng was also moved by her.

Sheng Changfeng didn't have the slightest opinion. In the past, with Lin Xiaoniang around, he didn't have to worry about anything and was a dandy for a while.

But after Lin Xiaoniang was sent to Zhuangzi, Sheng Hong didn't want to see him, and after Mo Lan got married, he was basically dispensable in the Sheng family, and his sense of presence was very low.

There wasn't even anyone to talk to.

Mrs. Liu patiently talked to him every day, and he slowly expressed his grievances and dissatisfaction.

Mrs. Liu not only comforted him softly, but also encouraged him to study.

Tell him that as long as he can pass the exam, it doesn't matter whether he goes out to work as an official or separates his family and leads a different life.

As long as they work together as husband and wife, things will definitely get better and better in the future.

Sheng Changfeng also slowly accepted this wife, listened to his words very much, and began to study hard.

"Brother, why are you so stupid? Something must have happened at home now. As long as we can figure it out, we might be able to find a chance to save my little mother. Don't you care about my little mother's life or death at all?" Mo Lan said angrily.

"Am I stupid?"

A trace of sadness flashed in Sheng Changfeng's eyes, and he said, "Don't you understand yet? My little lady is dead!"

"impossible!"

Mo Lan screamed: "Father loves my little mother so much, how could she die?"

In fact, she might have guessed this a long time ago, but she has been unwilling to accept the fact.

"You also know that dad dotes on me. If she hadn't died, how could dad not agree to let us visit her after so long? Wake up." Sheng Changfeng said.

"Even if my mother is really dead, we must avenge her! Brother, my mother's death cannot be in vain!" Mo Lan burst into tears.

"revenge?"

Sheng Changfeng sarcastically said: "Who am I seeking revenge from? My mother was beaten to death by my father because of your affair with Liang Han. Am I seeking revenge from my father or you?"

Mentioning Lin Xiaoniang's death, Sheng Changfeng felt angry in his heart.

If Mo Lan hadn't wanted to marry into a high family, how could Lin Xiaoniang have died?

Mo Lan froze when he heard this, and his mind went blank.

Sheng Changfeng was right, she was indeed the one who killed Lin Xiaoniang.

……

"I have met His Majesty!"

Han Zhang walked into the hall and bowed.

"No gift!"

Zhao Zongquan rubbed his aching head, cheered up and said, "Now the court is still arguing over whether to punish Yuan Wenshao. Is there anything the Qing family can do?"

"Your Majesty, I can't do anything about this matter," Han Zhang said.

Zhao Zongquan looked at him deeply and said, "What if I have to ask you to find a way?"

"Your Majesty is really embarrassing this old minister."

Han Zhang smiled bitterly and said, "If your Majesty is really like this, I have a plan."

Zhao Zongquan sneered in his heart, but said calmly: "Tell me and listen."

"Your Majesty, at the beginning of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was a practice of civil servants restraining military generals. This time, Your Majesty appointed Marquis Zhongyong as the envoy of Qin Feng Road Economic Strategy, and controlled the military and political power, but did not send anyone to control it, which led to this series of things.

Marquis Zhongyong's settlement of the pay arrears of Takeo's army can be considered a meritorious service. The merits and demerits are directly offset. Your Majesty can calm public opinion by sending a civil official to control the situation. "Han Zhang said.

Zhao Zongquan's face darkened when he heard this. Da Zhou indeed had this practice.

Like the northern border, the northwest border has civilian officials serving as military supervisors.

Although the military general is nominally the chief general, civilian officials only have control over the situation and do not have the right to mobilize troops, nor can they intervene in military operations.

But in fact, temperate civil servants are superior to military commanders.

After all, they represent the emperor.

The reason why Zhao Zongquan did not send civilian officials to Yuan Wenshao to supervise the army was not because he trusted Yuan Wenshao.

But it's not necessary.

First of all, he did not intend to let Yuan Wenshao serve as the economic and strategic pacifier for a long time. After all, once this kind of official position with exclusive military and political power was held for a long time, he would really become a prince.

Secondly, because Yuan Wenshao only had 5,000 troops.

He appointed Yuan Wenshao as the envoy of Qinfeng Road Manager to prevent Xixia from annexing Hehuang. The only thing Yuan Wenshao could mobilize was Wu Xiong's army.

When the matter is resolved, he will transfer Yuan Wenshao back, and he is not worried that Yuan Wenshao will support himself.

But it's okay to send a civilian official to serve as a supervisor.

But in this way, it would be equivalent to compromising with the civil officials, which Zhao Zongquan could not bear.

Han Zhang lowered his eyes and did not urge him. He could guess Zhao Zongquan's thoughts to some extent. At this time, he only needed to play the role of making suggestions.

The method has been given, it is up to Zhao Zongquan whether he uses it or not.

However, Han Zhang felt that Zhao Zongquan would still compromise with a high probability.

Zhao Zongquan was very ambitious and did not want to always defend like the late emperor, but thought about attacking.

And he also knew about the Pingrong policy proposed by Yuan Wenshao.

It must be said that Yuan Wenshao has a very strategic vision and the land of Hehuang is very important.

This is a critical moment, and if someone makes a substitution at this time, it will definitely give Xixia an opportunity to take advantage of.

As long as Zhao Zongquan does not want the land of Hehuang to fall into the hands of Xixia, he will inevitably compromise.

Zhao Zongquan was silent for a long time and said, "Then who do you think is suitable?"

"I think it is appropriate for Wu Chizhong to be appointed to the Secretariat," Han Zhang said.

"Then let him speak to the Grand Prime Minister tomorrow morning, and I will take the opportunity to propose it then."

Zhao Zongquan had never heard of this name, but Shangshu Tairen was only a sixth-rank official, so it was appropriate.

The grade is low, so it won't be a big constraint on Yuan Wenshao.

It will not affect the layout of the Hehuang land, and it also gives the courtiers an explanation.
