Chapter 1035 Family Thief
The people surrounded Wang Xian all the way to Chengtian Gate, and then reluctantly left.Because further inside is the imperial city where the princes and nobles live, but ordinary people are not allowed to enter...

Most of the guards in the imperial city are the sons of the Duke's family in Beijing, and they are the most well-informed. Now they have heard about the commotion caused by Wang Xian's return to Beijing, and they all look at this legendary big man in awe!

In the eyes of these aristocratic children, no matter what fate awaits Wang Xian in the future, if he can have the infinite scenery that all people respect and follow, he will not be in vain to come to this world to make a splash!

Wang Xian looked at those energetic young faces, he could see longing and envy in their eyes, and he could see his own shadow many years ago from them.That is the earnest desire to make contributions and become famous in the world...

However, if you bravely go up this thorny road, you will find that the higher you go, the more murderous you will be, because the emperor who stands on the top will never tolerate sharing with others. status.What the emperor needs is a hard-working and obedient lackey, not a heroic tiger!Once they realize that the running dog has a tendency to evolve into a fierce tiger, they will not hesitate to kill and replace it with another one!
In this Great Ming Dynasty, the only one who is really beautiful is the emperor, who was born as a subject, no matter how hard he tries, he is just a dog that can be killed at any time...

Until Dai Hua whispered outside the car window: "My lord, we're here."

Only then did Wang Xian shake his head, put away his chaotic thoughts, opened the curtain of the car, and saw the long-lost Earl's Mansion.The servants in the mansion were notified a long time ago, and they all waited at the gate of the mansion.But it may be that he was a little pessimistic about Wang Xian's fate. The housekeeper didn't let people repair the front of the mansion in advance, and the scene in Wang Xian's eyes inevitably showed some traces of dilapidation...

"It's only been a year..." Wang Xian couldn't help but sighed softly, carefully helped Gu Xiaolian get out of the car and entered the mansion.

At first glance, the Earl's Mansion was still the same as it was when he left last year, but the white walls of the courtyard had already shown traces of mold and mildew, and weeds had also emerged from the cracks in the bricks on the ground.Fortunately, after the snow in midwinter, the flowers and trees in the yard were covered with a thick layer of snow, but there were no more signs of distress.

Enduring the unhappiness in his heart, Wang Xian helped Gu Xiaolian through the moon gate and entered the back house. After Dai Hua pushed the door of the east wing room where Gu Xiaolian lived, he saw the thick dust on the table on the ground. Finally, Wang Xian couldn't help but exploded: "Call me in, Guanshi Chen!"

When Chen Guanshi rushed over in a panic, he saw Wang Xian standing in the east wing room that had been cleaned for a long time, with a gloomy face pouring out of the water, and hurriedly nodded and bowed: "I just found out that Uncle returned to the mansion, so I hurried to clean the main room. Clean it out, uncle, please move to the main room, and I will arrange for someone to clean this room."

"Don't dare to trouble you?" Wang Xian snorted coldly, looked at Guanshi Chen's frightened but indifferent face, and said gloomyly: "I just want to ask Guanshi Chen, there are dozens of people in this house, What have you been up to all day?"

"This..." Chen Guanshi still did not know how to argue: "It is true that the people below are negligent, and they all think that Mrs. Gu has already..."

"Already what?" Wang Xian glared at Guanshi Chen sharply, causing Guanshi Chen to shrink his neck in fright. He hurriedly slapped himself lightly, and said cautiously: "It's all villains who have not been well disciplined, and those bastards below If you dare to be lazy and play tricks, you will be punished severely in the future!"

"I'm afraid it's not just laziness, is it?" Wang Xian sneered and said, "Where have all the ornaments in this room gone?" Before, there were dozens of calligraphy, paintings, literary toys, and ornaments in Gu Xiaolian's room. All of them are worth a lot of money.Now there are less than ten pieces, and they are all worthless...

"Let's not talk about decorations, where are all the clothes in the closet?" Wang Xian pointed to the empty closet and couldn't hold back his anger and said, "Okay, I have really raised a bunch of house thieves!"

"This..." Chen Guanshi's face turned pale, and he hurriedly said: "The villain doesn't know what's going on, so let's investigate thoroughly. If anyone's hands and feet are really dirty, I'll break his crutches!"

"I'll break your lone crutch first!" Wang Xian sneered, staring at Guanshi Chen closely with his eyes like arrows, and said, "You have been my governor of Jinyiwei for so many years, are you just a freelancer? You little house thief turned the sky upside down?!"

Before the words finished, Dai Hua strode in from the outside, holding a stack of pawnbrokers in his hand, glared at Guanshi Chen with disgust, and reported in a deep voice: "My lord, search this from the room surnamed Chen!"

Seeing the stack of pawn tickets, Chen Guanshi panicked, quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said: "Uncle, the villain was confused for a while, please forgive me this time..."

Wang Xian ignored Chen Guanshi, took a look at the pawn ticket in Dai Hua's hand, and saw that it was evidence that Chen Guanshi had pawned all kinds of treasures, and Qing Yishui was a dead pawn that could never be redeemed again!And the belongings are far from being limited to this west wing room, almost all the valuable things in the room have been sold by him for money!
"Okay!" Wang Xian threw the pile of pawn bills on Chen Guanshi's face, and said murderously: "This is how you manage my house! What else can you say?!"

"Uncle, I'm confused. They say that you died at the mouth of the gourd. I thought it was something that had no owner..." Chen Guanshi was scared, and with his nose and tears, he said, "I will refund all the money. Come back, for my nephew's sake, please forgive me this time..."

Chen Guanshi's nephew is Chen Wu, the steward brand of Taisun's mansion, and it was also Chen Wu who recommended him to come to Wang Xian's mansion to be the steward.Wang Xian looked at Chen Wu's face, and kept turning a blind eye to Chen Guanshi, but fortunately, he was reasonable at first.Unexpectedly, after this year, he turned out to be such an unscrupulous house thief!

"Hmph, for the sake of your nephew, I'll spare your life this time!" Wang Xian snorted coldly, and ordered: "Break his legs and drive him out of the house!"

"Yes!" Dai Hua waved his hand, and two guards stepped forward, dragging Guanshi Chen backwards, and Guanshi Chen yelled in horror: "Uncle, you can't treat me like this, wait for my nephew to come back. How do you explain to him..."

Wang Xian kept a cold face until Guanshi Chen's screams outside and stopped, then he ordered Dai Hua in a deep voice: "You send the rest of the servants out of the mansion, don't leave other people in the mansion..."

Dai Hua responded, and then asked softly: "The people below must have stolen a lot, should we tidy them up and drive them out?"

However, Wang Xian shook his head in disbelief, "No, just let them go."

"That's too cheap for them!" Dai Hua said angrily.

"It's human nature, so be it..." Wang Xian smiled wryly and said, "Besides, when we entered the capital, how many pairs of eyes were staring at us, one thing more is worse than one thing less..."

"Hey..." Dai Hua had no choice but to keep silent.

.

What Wang Xian said was right. From the moment he stepped into the capital, countless pairs of eyes were fixed on him.He was supported by countless people on the street, and many people even shouted, "Uncle Zhongyong is innocent!" ', these scenes that hurt some people's eyeballs soon reached the emperor's ears.

Zhu Di is in a good mood these days. Since taking the elixir refined by Taoist Hu, the body of the dragon has obviously improved. At least for a long time after taking the medicine, the tormenting pain will disappear, and the long-lost strength will return to the emperor's body , Even without the help of others, you can walk down the ground.Until he saw Zhao Ying with his arms hanging, his nose bruised and his face swollen...

"Your Majesty, this old slave deserves to die. He let the Buddha's mother escape under strict guard. He really deserves death..." Zhao Yingfu kowtowed heavily at the emperor's feet.

"You have brought three thousand soldiers and horses, but you can't look down on a Buddha mother. Are you really old and useless?" Zhu Di reprimanded bluntly.

The emperor's reprimand sounded like a fairy to Zhao Ying. He thought that the emperor would be furious, and he might even be dragged out and punished directly. How could he say something so painless?
Seeing that Zhu Di was in a good mood, Zhao Ying quickly raised his head and said, "Yes, this old slave is useless. I didn't expect that the Tao is one foot tall and the devil is one foot high. Wang Xian is so bold as to arrange for someone to kidnap the prisoner!"

"You said Wang Xian did it, do you have evidence?" Zhu Di asked coldly.

"Wang Xian has always done things without leaving evidence, but other than him, no one else has this ability!" The old eunuch took it for granted. He knew that Zhu Di would believe him, because in the emperor's heart, Wang Xian was already a big devil who did all kinds of evil. head off.

"Jin Yiwei has already fallen into your hands, how can he still have so much energy?" Zhu Di really believed it, but he couldn't understand it.

"Your Majesty, before the old slave had time to report, Wang Xian had planned to quietly move the staff and facilities of Jinyiwei out of the capital and to Shandong. Now the Jinyiwei yamen in the Prison Temple is just an empty shell! "The old eunuch added fuel and vinegar.

"It's nonsense," Zhu Di said with a frown, "The Jinyiwei officers and soldiers are all from generations of loyal and good military households, how can they leave the court together with him?"

"The old slave refers to the most important Fusi of Beizhen. Wang Xian put all his henchmen, as well as the gang of people from all walks of life and all corners of the world he gathered, all in it. These people and their disciples and grandchildren, almost There are tens of thousands of them, but they are determined to work for Wang Xian." Fearing that Zhu Di would not believe him, the old eunuch emphasized: "When Wang Xian was in Shandong, he had thousands of new-style muskets in his hands, which were more powerful than those in the Shenji Camp. However, after the old slave took over Jinyiwei, he searched all over the place, but he did not find such a musket. In addition, when Wang Xian returned to Beijing, he was escorted by four or five hundred gunmen. It seemed that he was from Jinyiwei. These people would rather give up their own Identity, we have to fight against him and the court to the end..."

"..." Zhu Di's expression darkened. If the old eunuch wasn't exaggerating, then he really underestimated Wang Xian.I thought that Wang Xian would have no hard power left after removing his official title of Jinyi Wei, and then transferred him out of Shandong, but now it seems that he still has a lot of things hidden...
