Sui Dynasty: I, Yang Guang, am both scrupulous and stable

Chapter 110 Complex human desires

Yang Guang returned home and felt a little tired. Xiao Menglan rarely saw His Highness looking so tired, so he stretched out his slender hand to press his head, and held it in place.

"Why is Your Highness so tired? Is there anything that makes you feel uncomfortable?"

"It's nothing serious, I just have a headache after being worried for days."

Yang Guangshun told her that this case was committed by evil spirits.

Upon hearing the evil spirits, Xiao Menglan's expression changed. Many people in this era kept this kind of thing a secret. There were too many things with strange powers and chaos, which made people panic.

"Your Highness, are you really evil?"

Yang Guang nodded: "Today I have ordered people to go to Shu Guogong's Mansion to look at it, and tomorrow morning I will go and seize the statue of the Evil Bodhisattva. This thing is a little weird, so it's better not to know more about it."

"Then I won't tell those ladies either."

"No, I have to say, just tell them everything."

"Ah? Why is that?"

"We can't hide this matter, it doesn't matter if you say it."

Yang Guang casually prevaricated a few words and let it pass.

……

Yang Guang, who was riding a tall horse, arrived outside Duke Shu's mansion. Duke Shu, who was now in the mansion, was worried. He had been discovered secretly when he worshiped evil spirits. What he was worried about now was not the case, but whether the emperor and empress would take the matter into consideration. If you touch him, you have already made the decision to fight to the death.

Yang Guang entered the mansion and met Duke Shu.

The handsome man had a sad face at this time. The two sat down and Yang Guang said, "Duke Shu, I have looked a lot more haggard these past two days."

Duke Shu Guo didn't reply.

"Shu Guo Gong, before I went out this morning, I received an oral instruction from my father, the Queen, and my empress. This case was caused by evil evil spirits. Duke Shu Guo was tricked into bringing a statue of Evil Evil Bodhisattva back to his house for worship. Duke Shu Guo was also a victim in this matter, but the impact of the incident was bad. This Please ask Duke Shu to rest in your house for a while in two months."

Liu Fang looked at Yang Guang in surprise. He thought he would be punished for what happened this time, but he didn't expect that he would be punished at all. He was just asked to think about his mistakes behind closed doors, which was not painful for him.

"Your Highness King Jin, is this true?"

"How can the news that my father, the emperor, and my mother sent someone here early in the morning be false? How dare I pretend to pass on the edict?"

"Of course not, of course not. Wei Chen thanks the two saints. Wei Chen will never dare to do that again."

Yang Guang put his hands behind his back and said, "After this incident, my father, the Queen, and my mother also plan to rectify these evil heretics. Lord Shu, please rest in your house for a while."

When leaving, Yang Guang asked someone to pull a prison car from the government office in a serious manner. The iron cage was tied with iron chains and then attached with yellow talisman paper. It was a complete set for a show. This kind of scene was quite It was extremely oppressive, and the people watching around them got out of the way. The descriptions of this prison car also became more magical as the rumors spread.

As Yang Guang left, Duke Shu's expression became gloomy. He did not think that this was a gift from the emperor, but that the emperor was afraid that he had some evidence of the revised edict.

As long as he holds the handle, the emperor dare not do anything to him.

Sighing secretly: "It seems I have to rest for a while."

……

After Yang Guang came out of Shu Guogong's Mansion, he ordered the prison car to be sent to Jingzhao Mansion. He himself led a small team to Liang Guang's residence.

Liang Guang was just an ordinary official. Naturally, his family's residence was completely incomparable to places like Duke Shu's residence, and his servants were not many.

His wife had just died, but no funeral was held at home, and the body was left in the Jingzhao Mansion Office without anyone claiming it.

After all, it was not a normal death. No one would collect the body of such a shameful death. Liang Guang hanged himself once before, but he was rescued. It was probably just a show for the emperor and empress. He has no shame in living. You have to give it to me. An explanation.

Wearing a hat has been the most taboo thing since ancient times, not to mention that his wife died trying to save her lover after wearing the hat. Liang Guang knew that he would probably have to wear the hat for the rest of his life.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw an old woman slapping a straw man with a shoe sole board. Mrs. Liang Guang's name was written on the straw man, and she was cursing loudly.

"Slap you on the head like a prostitute, and you will be beaten by thousands of people in your next life."

"Punch a prostitute's legs" will be praised by thousands of people in the next life. "

Liang Guang walked over quickly, pulled up the old woman and said, "Mother, please go inside and rest first. His Royal Highness the King of Jin is here."

The old woman continued to curse with hatred on her face, and while beating her, she went back to the room accompanied by the maid.

Liang Guang walked up to Yang Guang and said respectfully: "I am here to see His Highness the King of Jin."

Looking carefully at Liang Guang, he was a man who looked like a scholar. He had a square appearance and no features. Compared with the elegant and handsome Shu Guogong, his demeanor was indeed far different.

"His Royal Highness King Jin, please come inside."

The two sat and talked, and Yang Guang said: "Liang Yushi, this case has been investigated by my king and the result has been obtained."

Liang Guang listened to the whole process of the matter. After listening, he smiled bitterly: "Although your highness is stupid, but... that's all. The two saints have already said it. I can only think that my family is unfortunate. My family is unfortunate..." Listen Listening to Liang Guang's lament, Yang Guang said: "My wife was bewitched by evil spirits and made a big mistake. She did not betray Liang Yushi. This matter should not be discussed by outsiders."

Yang Guang felt relieved after saying this, but he also knew that this matter would have little effect.

"Liang Yushi has always had a reputation for being honest in the capital, and my father also knows that. In two days, my father will issue a decree to make you the governor of Yingchuan County and reward you with a thousand taels of silver."

There cannot be any compensation for the suffering owner. Of course, the money must be paid by Duke Shu.

After Liang Guang heard this, he stopped lamenting: "My family is unfortunate and faced with such a disaster. Thanks to the love of the two saints, Liang Guang is extremely grateful. He can only devote himself to death and die."

Rather than get to the bottom of it and get nothing, it is better to take this opportunity to get money and a position, and go out, so that fewer people will know about his affairs. Of course, his resentment towards Duke Shu will never be reduced in this life.

He already knew that the imperial court would favor Duke Shu, and that the Second Saint would favor Duke Shu. After all, he was the Duke, and he was just a minor official in front of him. This quarrel would at least lead to promotion and wealth.

The two of them walked out of the room. Liang Guang had lost his previous gloomy look and followed Yang Guang respectfully.

"Liang Yushi, the matter is over. Let the family go to the Jingzhao Mansion Office to bring your lady's body back for burial as soon as possible."

There was an undetectable look of disgust in Liang Guang's eyes, and he said calmly: "Wei Chen will send someone to notify her natal family. If anyone in her natal family is willing to take it, she can take it. If no one takes it, I will pack some money and trouble Jingzhao Mansion." The people from the government can just help find a mass grave and throw it away, so that the old mother at home will not get angry after seeing it."

Yang Guang didn't say anything more. He turned around and said goodbye to Liang Guang: "As for Liang Yushi, I will leave first. Liang Yushi is about to take office. He should be busy with a lot of things, so I won't bother you anymore."

"Your Highness, wait."

"What else?"

Liang Guang respectfully stepped forward and bowed: "The affairs at home are related to honor and honor. Your Highness, King of Jin, has been busy for many days. The family is poor and there is nothing to repay. I can only give you a sincere heart. Your Highness will be useful in the future." In my place, I will repay your kindness to His Highness."

Yang Guang returned the favor with a smile in his eyes, whipped up his whip and spurred his horse forward.

The dust has settled on this matter, and rumors about evil spirits are spreading in the capital, but they are all nonsense. The real attention of this case has dropped a lot. No one cares who died, no one cares who is The murderer.

……

Three days later, Yang Guang came to the Jingzhao Mansion again, handed over all the relevant matters, and met with Bai Lun, arranging for him to follow all the released slaves of the Duke Shu's Mansion back to the Duke Shu's Mansion to continue his spy work.

As for the matter of Duke Shu and Duke Xi's wife, only he and Yu Qingze know about this matter. This is a hidden mine. I don't know when it will explode, but it will definitely explode.

"Yu Shangshu, please keep this matter in mind regarding Duke Xi's wife. This matter will cause a bigger fuss than the previous case. It's better to worry about more than to worry about less."

"Wei Chen understands."

As the two walked, they happened to encounter a few guards carrying a corpse wrapped in mats, and a foul smell came from them.

"What are you doing? Don't you know how to avoid it? You hit His Highness."

"Your Highness, please forgive me. Your Highness, please forgive me. I am short-sighted."

"Who's in there?"

"She is Liang Guang's wife. Liang Guang didn't want to come and take her away. Her natal brothers were also embarrassed and no one wanted her. Liang Guang paid some money and asked the Jingzhao government office to find a place to throw it away. Her reputation was ruined. Don't take her away. When it comes to ancestral graves, we even have to dig out the family trees.”

Yang Guang took out some money and asked Wang Yi to pass it to the group of guards carrying the body: "Send it outside and bury it. Don't expose the body to the wilderness when the person is dead. At least dig a hole and bury it with some soil."

He took the silver and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes."

Yang Guang left the Jingzhao Mansion Office first and went to a small courtyard. In the small courtyard was none other than Nanxi girl.

The woman who had lost her makeup was much more cute and gentle. When she saw Yang Guang, she came up to him and bowed slightly.

"My little lady has met His Highness Prince Jin."

Although it was exposed that his business dealings were dishonest, he also explained to Yang Guang in disguise that he was still innocent, which was beneficial.

"How are things going these days?"

"Yunya Pavilion is closed, and there are a lot of people coming to look for trouble. But if His Highness lets it go, they can just pay the money and settle the matter."

"What's your plan next?"

"The little girl has no plans, His Highness has the final say."

"You did a good job at the auction before. I have stopped cooperating with Yun Dingxing, but the auction still needs to be done. Do you have the ability to do it?"

Faced with the olive branch offered by Yang Guang, Nanxi had no reason not to accept it. She just said worriedly: "But now that I have lost my credibility, I am afraid that it will affect His Highness's business."

"Things will pass soon. Changlefang will open in at least a year. In tomorrow's bidding meeting, Granny Bo Lan won the bid, and Yunya Pavilion will also be reopened in Changlefang."

"As long as His Highness is willing to use me, I am willing to be used by His Highness."
