cabinet first lady
Chapter 66
Chapter 66
The banquet was halfway through, and Lin Zhengqiao and his wife carried out the full moon's child together.
They carried the child in front of Ruan Muyang.
Ruan Muyang looked at the infant child, a small one, with fleshy arms and legs, like lotus joints, his heart felt soft and he was very happy.
"The child hasn't been named yet. I wonder if I'm lucky enough to ask my wife to help me choose one." Lin Zhengqiao said.
The eldest grandson of the Lin family actually asked a young woman to be named?The guests were surprised, and what surprised them even more was that Master Lin and Mrs. Lin did not object.What is the origin of this woman?
Seeing that everyone's eyes were attracted, Ruan Muyang smiled.Zhang Anyi could choose this name. After all, he was also a great Confucian in the dynasty, and when she was in the Ruan Mansion, she was not very enlightened when she studied with the teacher. The name is to follow the person for a lifetime. If she chooses one casually, she will not Delaying other people's children for a lifetime?
In the future, maybe I will blame her for the rest of my life.
But the Lin family was too enthusiastic to refuse. Ruan Muyang thought for a while and said, "It's better for the father to choose the child's first name, so I'll give him a nickname."
It's good to have a nickname.Lin Zhengqiao smiled and said, "Thank you, Mrs.
Ruan Muyang thought for a while and said, "The nickname should be more pleasant, so let's call it 'Yuanbao'."
Yuanbao Yuanbao, although it has no deep meaning, but it is fluent, and it sounds happy.
The Lin family also seemed very satisfied with this nickname.Lin Zhengqiao said, "Thank you, Mrs.
Afterwards, Lin Zhengqiao and his wife took Xiao Yuanbao to meet other relatives, friends and guests. Ruan Muyang was about to sit back at the banquet, but was blocked by a horizontal fan.
The fan stretched out too suddenly, if she took an extra step, she might hit her chest.
Looking at the man in his 20s, who looked quite upright, but with a self-proclaimed flamboyance, Ruan Muyang frowned.
"Presumptuous!" Fang Fang stood in front of Ruan Muyang and scolded.She looked serious with a serious face, and after being with Ruan Muyang for so long, she could bluff people with a cold face.
This man was the one who watched Ruan Muyang for a long time through the gap in the screen.
The man didn't seem to have expected that a girl from Fangang would have such a temper, he was immediately suppressed, and said: "What an imposing girl."
Afterwards, he looked at Ruan Muyang again, turned his eyes around her face and said, "Hello, Ma'am, I'm going to Sun Haoyou." At first, he only looked at it from a distance, but now when he looked at it closer, he found it looked better.
Ruan Muyang glanced at him and said, "Excuse me, get out of the way."
She hadn't met such a frivolous person for a long time.In the capital, as Zhang Anyi rose through the ranks, others became more respectful to her. How could anyone dare to treat her like this?
Sun Haoyou raised his eyebrows.In Cangzhou, no one has heard his name Sun Haoyou so indifferently.
"Ma'am, I have no ill intentions—"
Before he finished speaking, Ruan Muyang walked past him with enamel.
Originally, Sun Haoyou just thought that this woman was pretty and came up to say hello and feast his eyes, but he didn't expect to run into a wall.interesting.
Just as he was about to catch up, someone grabbed his arm.He looked back and found that it was Lin Zhengqiao.
"Haoyou, what are you doing?" Lin Zhengqiao looked serious.Cangzhou is not too big, but all nobles from aristocratic families are related, so Sun Haoyou can be regarded as his distant cousin.What kind of virtue he is, Lin Zhengqiao knows best.
Sun Haoyou was also very aware of Lin Zhengqiao's rigid temper.Originally, he was impatient to deal with it, but today he asked patiently for the first time: "Cousin, why didn't I hear that you worshiped a teacher outside? What is the background of that woman?"
"She's not someone you can offend." Lin Zhengqiao warned, "I advise you to stop thinking about it, otherwise no one will be able to protect you."
The more he said that, the more interest in Sun Haoyou's eyes became stronger. "Is there anything I can't afford in Cangzhou?"
He is the youngest son of Sun Zhen, the magistrate of Cangzhou, and he is used to running rampant in Cangzhou City. In addition, his mother is from Jinling, and she is a close friend with the current Queen Mother Qiu. Since Emperor Yuan succeeded to the throne, their family has become more powerful.
Is there anyone he can't afford to provoke?
Unless it is the chief assistant of the current cabinet.
But he was in the capital, so he couldn't provoke him even if he wanted to.
Seeing that Sun Haoyou still looked the same, Lin Zhengqiao's tone became more serious: "I'm doing this for your own good."
Literati are just too wordy, and Sun Haoyou actually looks down on this cousin who can only study and doesn't even hold an official position.Not only long-winded but also timid as a mouse.
He perfunctorily said, "I know my cousin."
After the banquet, the Lin family knew that Ruan Muyang came to Cangzhou alone, and wanted to keep her to stay for a while, but Ruan Muyang refused because he had other things to do.So the Lin family sent Ruan Muyang to the carriage very politely and respectfully, and watched the carriage go far before returning.
"Ma'am, the people of the Lin family have good conduct and a very good style." After arriving in Cangzhou, Fang Fang has been paying attention to Ruan Muyang's emotions, fearing that she will feel depressed because of being sent here, so she often talks to her and pays attention to her feelings .
Realizing that she came to Cangzhou, the words of enamel were obviously more than before, Ruan Muyang understood her intentions, and his heart was very warm.She nodded and said, "Yes, the people from the Lin family are really nice."
Not long after, the guard sitting outside the carriage with the coachman suddenly called out: "Madam."
"What's wrong?" Enamel asked.
The guard replied, "Someone is following us."
They just arrived in Cangzhou, they didn't know many people, and they didn't have any enemies. How could anyone follow them?
The first thing Ruan Muyang thought of was the Sun Haoyou he met at the banquet.
"Can you get rid of people?" she asked.
"Yes."
In the end, when they returned to the manor, the tails behind them were naturally thrown off.
Beijing.
The Empress Dowager Qiu couldn't stand the continuous rehearsal, so she summoned Zhang Anyi alone.
"A thorough investigation of unjust, false and wrongly decided cases and wrongful killings is a very arduous task. Is Mr. Zhang Ge sure you want to do this?"
Zhang Anyi is now the head of all the officials, and the pressure on Queen Mother Qiu not only comes from those papers, but also from Zhang Anyi's secret pressure on her.Emperor Yuan was still young, although she listened to the government behind the curtain, she was only the queen mother after all, and the court needed someone who could restrain the officials and be used by her.
Although Zhang Anyi could restrain the courtiers, she couldn't completely control them.But Queen Qiu had to admit his ability, and that he didn't have the heart of Luo Jie, Xu Hou and others.She is an extremely ambitious woman, but she has to rely on Zhang Anyi.Because the court can't do without him now.
Although the Yin Ji she was cultivating was very capable, he hadn't matured yet, and was easily dispatched by Zhang Anyi, and he was still unable to fight against him.
"On behalf of those ministers who died unjustly and their families, I implore the emperor and the empress dowager to agree." Zhang Anyi said firmly.
The Empress Dowager Qiu looked very pale, but she didn't have another attack.She looked at Zhang Anyi with her head down, anger was contained in her raised eyes.In the end, she closed her eyes, suppressed her emotions and said, "Then Zhang Ge will take full responsibility for this matter."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Empress Dowager."
In the first year of Xinde, on May [-]th, Emperor Yuan issued an order that the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and Metropolitan Procuratorate would cooperate with the cabinet to thoroughly investigate unjust, false and wrong cases in the court during the reign of Emperor Wu and Emperor Ling.
Zhang Anyi assigned this matter to Shen Wei.
Under the pillars outside Wenyuan Pavilion, Zhang Anyi and Shen Wei stood side by side, looking at the many palaces.
Shen Wei was still immersed in the excitement when he heard Emperor Yuan's decree, and there were tears in his eyes, which were as sharp as a man's on weekdays.Isn't it just for this day that she disguised herself as a man and took part in the imperial examination to become an official?Unexpectedly, the goal that was unrealistic at the beginning and pursued only with resentment would really come true one day.
She looked at the tall and generous shoulder beside her who seemed to be able to carry Guanghua for thousands of miles, and she was filled with emotion.
At the beginning, because her father was framed by Luo Jie for corruption, the entire Shen family was implicated, but she survived at her cousin's house.In her heart, she felt wronged by her father and the Shen family, so she secretly ran back to the capital, disguised herself as a man and entered Zhang Anyi's academy, worshiped under the same teacher as him, and became classmates with him.
She has often heard the name of the prodigy Zhang Anyi from her father since she was a child, and only after getting to know him did she realize that he is really talented and talented, and she became a close friend.
One year coincides with the anniversary of Shen Lian's death, Shen Wei secretly burns paper, and Zhang Anyi happens to bump into him.
At that time Shen Wei was startled.
"I wonder why you are so weird. It turns out that brother Shen is Mr. Shen's son." At that time, Zhang Anyi was only 16 years old and had not yet participated in the examination. Same as evildoer.
Hearing that he said it was "Young Master", Shen Wei breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a little disappointed in his heart.
After that, Zhang Anyi treated her better and took good care of her on weekdays.It can be seen that he is a man of conscience.
Later, he failed the exam.
The higher you get, the harder you fall.
At that time, the people who had praised him began to laugh at him, saying that he hurt Zhongyong and that he was exhausted.
But Shen Wei knew that he only participated in the imperial examination because Zhang Laoshangshu expected him to participate.He has been studying how to write stereotyped essays in the imperial examinations. He was able to pass the provincial examinations because of his adaptability and intelligence.His ambition is not above the officialdom.
After failing the ranking, Shen Wei found him: "Why don't you want to become an official?"
Under the ridicule of everyone, he was still as self-satisfied as before, but the ostentatious spirit on his body was restrained a little.Shen Wei still remembers what he said.
"There are so many people who want to enter the officialdom. They think that after becoming an official, they can make a fortune, show their ambitions, and shine on the lintel, but they only know how deep and dirty the water in the officialdom is after they enter. Ended up like your father. What good?"
What's so good about it?He sees so clearly.
Shen Wei bit her lips and said: "I can only rehabilitate my father and the Shen family if I become an official."
"Then wish Brother Shen the title of the Gold List in advance, and your wish will be fulfilled."
"What's your plan next?"
"Go for a walk." This is his ambition.
Zhang Anyi has been away for two years.After returning, although his appearance didn't change much, Shen Wei felt that he had become deeper.
Shen Wei and the others who had a good relationship with him set up wine in the restaurant to celebrate his return.As a result, she drank too much, and Zhang Anyi found out that she was a daughter when he sent her back.
Shen Wei, who was slightly drunk before, was sobered up by the fright.
"You already have the fame of raising people. Disguising yourself as a man is a felony for deceiving the emperor." Zhang Anyi's tone was serious.
Why doesn't she know?
That night, Shen Wei and Zhang Anyi quarreled violently.Later, Shen Wei was afraid that he would persuade her to give up, so she kept avoiding him, afraid to see him, but she still met him in the school.
Shen Wei turned around and wanted to leave but was stopped by Zhang Anyi.At last they came to a secluded place.
"If you want to persuade me to give up, then don't say it. I know how difficult this road is. The Shen family only leaves me alone. I don't want my father and our relatives to die like this." Shen Wei said Be firm.
"At first I thought you were a man and I didn't intend to persuade you, but now I know you are a woman. This is deceiving the emperor. Have you thought about how many people you will implicate if you are found out?"
She has been with her classmates day and night for so long, if it weren't for the accident that happened last time while drinking, who would have discovered that she was a woman?
Shen Wei wanted to refute, but Zhang Anyi's solemn tone made her dare not speak out.
After traveling for two years, she found that he had changed a lot.
"Always, I just want to vindicate my father and the Shen family." Shen Wei said firmly.
Zhang Anyi sighed, and suddenly said: "Sir Shen has been kind to me, I shouldn't just sit idly by. The road to rehabilitating is difficult, and it's inconvenient for you as a woman, so let me do it, and it can be regarded as repaying Mr. Shen. "
Shen Wei looked at him in surprise: "Don't you want to become an official?" Then she heard a sentence that shocked her and she will never forget it.
"My grandfather always wanted me to be an official, and I couldn't bear to let him down. In the past two years, I have traveled abroad and seen a lot of things. The officialdom is muddy water, and I can't stop taking this muddy water just because it's filthy. If you want to escape together, you should do more to treat the sewage, restore the morals of the world, and restore the innocence of those who died unjustly."
Shen Wei was shocked by the firmness revealed in his light tone, and suddenly felt that he was too narrow-minded.
She subconsciously asked: "Then what are you going to do?"
"No monarch is willing to admit his mistakes. If he wants to be a minister who can govern the world, he must first be a minister with power." Become a powerful minister after ups and downs!
At that time, Emperor Wu was in a strong body, suspicious and bloodthirsty, Luo Jie and Xu Hou were divided into two parts of the cabinet, and three immovable mountains were pressing down on him. His ambition seemed impossible to realize at the time.
But that's the only way.
After such a big change, coupled with the experience of disguised as a man in the past few years, Shen Wei's character has become stronger and stronger, and as a woman, her ability is not inferior to that of a man.She has already made up her mind to become an official, if she gives up at this time, what should she do next?get married?Have a child?These are not what she wants.
She would not think about these things until the Shen family was rehabilitated.
"After talking so much, you still want to persuade me to give up?" Shen Wei asked.
Zhang Anyi nodded: "This road is too difficult. It is even more dangerous for you to disguise yourself as a man. I will do the redress for you."
"Why do you replace me? I won't give up." Seeing his gentle look, Shen Wei became angry, "Zhang Er, you will be your minister of power, and I will follow my official career."
After this bad breakup, it will be the New Year.
After the [-]th day of the first lunar month, after the new year, a story about Zhang Anyi was widely circulated in the capital.It is said that at the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the lady from Ruan Shilang's family who was betrothed to King Xie Zhao of Yong'an fell into the lake with Zhang Anyi, and then Zhang Anyi carried the lady from the Ruan family to the shore under the eyes of everyone. .
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Anyi's marriage was settled.
He is getting married.
When Shen Wei heard the news, she felt a faint sense of loss, but she chose another path, so she no longer has the right to think about it.
The second year after Zhang Anyi got married was the general examination, and then the imperial examination.
From then on, they entered the turbulent court and experienced many thrilling moments. From Emperor Wu, to Emperor Ling and now Emperor Yuan, they witnessed the demise of two generations of kings. Xu Hou.The two seemingly unshakable mountains of Luojie fell down, and they have come to the present in the ups and downs of the officialdom.
Now Emperor Yuan finally decreed a thorough investigation of unjust killing and wrongful killing.Not only can she vindicate her father Shen Lian, but she can also vindicate more ministers who have been wronged like the Shen family and her father.
The events of the past ten years flashed through Shen Wei's mind quickly. She looked at the palace walls, and there seemed to be something surging in her eyes. "I didn't expect today to come so soon." Her voice trembled uncontrollably.
"Yes." Zhang Anyi looked into the distance, and the emotions in his eyes were extremely complicated.
Afterwards, he withdrew his gaze and looked at Shen Weidao: "Yin Ji already knows your identity. This person is deep in thought, and I am afraid that he will not be under you and me in the future. If this inspection of the two rivers and the two Huaihe Rivers returns smoothly, I am afraid it will not be so easy to suppress It's a disaster. After this matter is over, you can find a way to leave."
Shen Wei's first reaction was that he didn't want to leave.
"I don't want to leave."
After leaving the court, she can find a secluded place away from the capital and transform back into her daughter.But she didn't expect that.For so many years, she has become accustomed to pretending to be a man, and also accustomed to the intrigue in the court. Although it is good to stay away from disputes and restore her daughter's body, she doesn't know what she should do next.
Find someone to marry?
I'm afraid she won't be able to find a desirable husband in her life.What's more, she is not young anymore. At her age, ordinary women don't even get married, and most of them have children.Who would marry her an old maid?
Zhang Anyi frowned: "You can't be like this forever." He said cryptically.
"Why not?" The wind blowing from the deep palace blew Shen Wei's clothes, her voice was extremely firm, "Only you, Zhang Er, are allowed to have lofty aspirations, and others are not allowed to have lofty aspirations?"
Who says women are inferior to men?
She, Shen Wei, is now in the cabinet, looking around the world, most of the men are not as good as her.
Seeing the disapproval on Zhang Anyi's face, Shen Wei continued: "The Empress Dowager Qiu has great ambitions. She wants to train Yin Ji to become her own sharp sword. Yin Ji is indeed not simple, so you are above the court Don't you need more help? Luo Jie has fallen, so what is a Yin Ji who has not yet grown up?"
If he dared to reveal her identity, she would dare to get rid of him.
"Besides, I don't think Queen Mother Qiu can use this sharp sword well."
"It's up to you." Zhang Anyi said helplessly, "If something goes wrong, I will take other measures for Master Shen."
Shen Wei stopped talking to him, but changed the subject and said with a joke: "You have always put on a straight face these days. I heard that Mrs. Sister-in-law went to Cangzhou to eat the full moon wine given by Lin Zhengqiao's eldest son?" Although her facial features were feminine, her brows were soft. His demeanor is full of masculinity, and when he teases people, he is also suave and personable.
Zhang Anyi looked into the distance again without answering.
Outside the city of Cangzhou.
It has been two days since the Lin family came back from the banquet.
Zhang Anyi didn't send anyone to pick up Ruan Muyang, and Ruan Muyang didn't think about it anymore.Far away from the capital, far away from court disputes and intrigues, she lived a very leisurely life, and picked up the half-learned paintings a few years ago, and continued to practice.In the next few years, she was worried about being discovered by Zhang Anyi, and all she could think about was the situation in the court, and she had long since lost her leisure and elegance.
Pick it up just right now.
Because Ruan Taifei, who was still Concubine Ruan, painted a pattern of birds facing the phoenix, Ruan Muyang was best at drawing birds.
It is already the end of May, but the weather in Cangzhou is not hot, so it is just right to draw under the shade of trees.
Suddenly, a servant came over and said, "Ma'am, the son of the magistrate's family came to visit and said he wanted to investigate the rogues at sea who appeared recently."
Cha Liu Kou found her here?And how could it be the son of the magistrate's family who came to investigate the bandits?
Ruan Muyang put down his pen, and asked suspiciously: "The son of the magistrate's family?"
A person suddenly came to mind, and she asked, "What's the name of that young master?"
"Sun Haoyou, Mr. Sun." Many of the servants in the villa are locals from Cangzhou, so naturally they don't know Sun Haoyou's name.
Sure enough, it was him.I don't know if they came to investigate the bandits.
Yesterday, Ruan Muyang asked Mother Pan about the aristocratic family in Cangzhou, and also knew who Sun Haoyou was.He is the youngest son of the magistrate of Cangzhou. His mother's natal family is in Jinling, and she and Queen Mother Qiu are close friends in her boudoir, that's why he can be so arrogant.
Fang Fang's complexion changed: "Madam, it turned out to be him! Do you want to drive him away?"
Sun Haoyou's background is one of the best in Cangzhou, but he just doesn't have much discernment.
Ruan Muyang shook his head, and said to his servants: "Let Mr. Sun come in." You can find it here, and in the name of the government investigating the pirates at sea, how can she not see her?At that time, she will be accused of harboring bandits. Although nothing will happen in the end, it will alarm the capital.
After leaving the Lin's house that day, he was lost, but Sun Haoyou didn't worry about not being found.As long as he was in Cangzhou, there was no one he couldn't find.This time, the men he sent out took a full day and a half to find out Ruan Muyang's residence, which took much longer than he expected.
He had never heard of this manor outside the city, and he sent people to inquire about the owner behind it, but he couldn't find anything, it was very mysterious.As for the identity of the woman living in the courtyard, his subordinates did not find out either.
What a bunch of trash!
When the servants of the villa invited him in, Sun Haoyou smiled triumphantly, and said to the officials following behind him, "Go, go in."
After entering, he followed the servants while looking at the scenery in the manor, and finally came to the reception hall.
Seeing Ruan Muyang sitting there, he smiled and said: "Mrs. Zhang, the rogues who came from the sea recently made trouble outside the city of Cangzhou, burned, killed and looted, and I was ordered by the magistrate to search for the rogues." While speaking, His gaze swiveled on Ruan Muyang's face.
There is no male master in this manor house, her accent is not from the local area, her identity is not disclosed, making it so mysterious, her temperament is not like an ordinary woman, she is probably the outhouse of a big family or an official in the capital city or not. Beloved wife.
Ruan Muyang pretended not to feel his malicious gaze, and said, "Young master, check it out."
Sun Haoyou said to the official who came with him: "Check it out carefully, be careful not to let the bandits sneak in and disturb Mrs. Zhang."
"Yes."
The officials began to search around the courtyard.
Sun Haoyou himself did not move.He still stared at Ruan Muyang, and continued with a look that he thought was chic and suave: "For Madam's safety, I have to ask a few more questions." A bit greasy.
"Young master just ask."
"Did Madam notice any changes during the past two days?"
"Never."
Sun Haoyou asked again: "Where is Mrs. Zhang from? Why did you come to Cangzhou?"
"People from the capital, come to the full moon banquet for the eldest grandson of the Lin family, and stay in Cangzhou for a while."
Obviously he was the one who asked the question, but Sun Haoyou felt that he was at a disadvantage in terms of momentum.This feeling made him feel bad.
In the hall besides them, there was a servant girl and a servant. Seeing Ruan Muyang's dignified appearance, Sun Haoyou had other thoughts.He stepped forward calmly, and said with some momentum: "I think Madam's identity is a bit suspicious, and she appears again at this time, I'm afraid I need Madam to go down to the government."
Seeing him getting closer and closer, Fang Fang stood in front of Ruan Muyang and shouted: "Presumptuous!"
Ruan Muyang pressed the enamel to make her calm down, and asked with a smile, "I don't know what is suspicious about me?"
Sun Haoyou felt that Fangang's scolding had lost his face, and he was dissatisfied in his heart, not as amiable as before.He sneered and said: "You are all foreigners, and the time of your appearance coincides with the appearance of the rogues. The rogues have been ashore for several days, but they have not been caught just outside the city of Cangzhou. They are obviously hiding. This manor house The guards will be martial arts, and the people in the manor house do not communicate with the outside world on weekdays. When it gets dark, the gates are closed, and the rogues—”
Speaking of this, he paused, looked at Ruan Muyang's face: "And the rogues happened to appear in the dark."
He wanted to see Ruan Muyang show a panicked expression, and even confess his innocence to him, but Ruan Muyang let him down.
"Young Master, are you done?" Ruan Muyang smiled with a calm tone.
Her smile imitated Zhang Anyi's three-point appearance, the old god was there, and she looked a little advanced.
Sun Haoyou frowned.
"The young master is here to investigate the bandits, so I have to ask the young master some things first." Ruan Muyang's voice sounded slowly, allowing no one to question, "Does the young master have any fame? Does he have an official position in the government office?"
"Why are you asking this?" He, Sun Haoyou, still needs fame?
"Then there is no more." Ruan Muyang continued, "Since the young master has no official position, how can he bring an official to work for the prefect? Mostly it is for the benefit of the public, right?"
Sun Haoyou couldn't help laughing at her words: "I didn't expect Mrs. Zhang to be sharp-tongued."
A dangerous light flashed in his eyes, and he shouted, "Come on!"
Official errands appeared immediately.
"Everyone in this mansion looks very suspicious, especially her." Sun Haoyou pointed at Ruan Muyang, and smiled meaningfully, "Bring her back to me. My son will interrogate me personally, and the others will strictly guard her."
"Who dares!" Enamel said coldly.
Sun Haoyou smiled: "There is also this arrogant girl, let me take it away with you!"
Seeing the official messengers appearing, Ruan Muyang didn't panic, but calmly reminded: "I would like to advise Sun Gongzi, if Sun Gongzi goes back like this, it should be treated as if there has never been such a thing as today's fake public affairs for personal gain."
"Dare to threaten me? What if I don't?" Sun Haoyou became even angrier, "Do it!"
Enamel shouted: "Protect Madam!"
Immediately, five guards ran into the hall from the outside, and two of them quickly came to Ruan Muyang's side to protect her.
Sun Haoyou brought eight officials here today.Eight officials should be more than enough for five guards.
But what he didn't expect was that the eight officials he brought were subdued in one fell swoop.
Aside from the nursing home that originally existed in this manor, Zhang Anyi even arranged for guards to follow her when she came to Cangzhou this time.These few official posts brought by Sun Haoyou are nothing to be afraid of.
"I don't intend to cause trouble, and there are no rogues here, Mr. Sun, please go back." Ruan Muyang said.
She just thought it would be better to have one less thing than to do more, fearing that her identity would be revealed, and the threshold of the manor house would be broken down, disturbing her tranquility, so she didn't reveal her identity.But in Sun Haoyou's eyes, this turned into fear of causing trouble. He was even more sure that Ruan Muyang was the concubine of a nobleman or official in the capital, and those who wanted to arrange people to come to Cangzhou were probably not favored.
Since he had to hide and cover him like this, no one would openly investigate him if he moved, and besides, he was not favored.
Sun Haoyou's mind turned quickly, and he said: "This is a member of the government, are you trying to make an enemy of the government?"
"My lord misunderstood, we didn't mean that." Sensing that Sun Haoyou's crooked intentions had not been dispelled, Ruan Muyang reminded again: "A word of advice, now that there are rogues in Cangzhou, it is better to really focus on searching for rogues. Release Cangzhou The most important thing is to make the people of Cangzhou feel at ease."
After finishing speaking, she signaled the guards to release those officials.
Sun Haoyou had never been pointed at by a woman before, and he felt resentful in his heart: "An outsider, you really take yourself seriously? Let's go!" Just wait and see!
Ruan Muyang was taken aback by what he said.
Outer room?
Where does she look like an outsider?
After Sun Hao wandered away, Ruan Muyang thought about it, and just to be on the safe side, he called the commander of the guards who followed him this time and said, "I'm afraid he won't let it go so easily, can you give some advice to the magistrate in the name of the second master? "
(End of this chapter)
The banquet was halfway through, and Lin Zhengqiao and his wife carried out the full moon's child together.
They carried the child in front of Ruan Muyang.
Ruan Muyang looked at the infant child, a small one, with fleshy arms and legs, like lotus joints, his heart felt soft and he was very happy.
"The child hasn't been named yet. I wonder if I'm lucky enough to ask my wife to help me choose one." Lin Zhengqiao said.
The eldest grandson of the Lin family actually asked a young woman to be named?The guests were surprised, and what surprised them even more was that Master Lin and Mrs. Lin did not object.What is the origin of this woman?
Seeing that everyone's eyes were attracted, Ruan Muyang smiled.Zhang Anyi could choose this name. After all, he was also a great Confucian in the dynasty, and when she was in the Ruan Mansion, she was not very enlightened when she studied with the teacher. The name is to follow the person for a lifetime. If she chooses one casually, she will not Delaying other people's children for a lifetime?
In the future, maybe I will blame her for the rest of my life.
But the Lin family was too enthusiastic to refuse. Ruan Muyang thought for a while and said, "It's better for the father to choose the child's first name, so I'll give him a nickname."
It's good to have a nickname.Lin Zhengqiao smiled and said, "Thank you, Mrs.
Ruan Muyang thought for a while and said, "The nickname should be more pleasant, so let's call it 'Yuanbao'."
Yuanbao Yuanbao, although it has no deep meaning, but it is fluent, and it sounds happy.
The Lin family also seemed very satisfied with this nickname.Lin Zhengqiao said, "Thank you, Mrs.
Afterwards, Lin Zhengqiao and his wife took Xiao Yuanbao to meet other relatives, friends and guests. Ruan Muyang was about to sit back at the banquet, but was blocked by a horizontal fan.
The fan stretched out too suddenly, if she took an extra step, she might hit her chest.
Looking at the man in his 20s, who looked quite upright, but with a self-proclaimed flamboyance, Ruan Muyang frowned.
"Presumptuous!" Fang Fang stood in front of Ruan Muyang and scolded.She looked serious with a serious face, and after being with Ruan Muyang for so long, she could bluff people with a cold face.
This man was the one who watched Ruan Muyang for a long time through the gap in the screen.
The man didn't seem to have expected that a girl from Fangang would have such a temper, he was immediately suppressed, and said: "What an imposing girl."
Afterwards, he looked at Ruan Muyang again, turned his eyes around her face and said, "Hello, Ma'am, I'm going to Sun Haoyou." At first, he only looked at it from a distance, but now when he looked at it closer, he found it looked better.
Ruan Muyang glanced at him and said, "Excuse me, get out of the way."
She hadn't met such a frivolous person for a long time.In the capital, as Zhang Anyi rose through the ranks, others became more respectful to her. How could anyone dare to treat her like this?
Sun Haoyou raised his eyebrows.In Cangzhou, no one has heard his name Sun Haoyou so indifferently.
"Ma'am, I have no ill intentions—"
Before he finished speaking, Ruan Muyang walked past him with enamel.
Originally, Sun Haoyou just thought that this woman was pretty and came up to say hello and feast his eyes, but he didn't expect to run into a wall.interesting.
Just as he was about to catch up, someone grabbed his arm.He looked back and found that it was Lin Zhengqiao.
"Haoyou, what are you doing?" Lin Zhengqiao looked serious.Cangzhou is not too big, but all nobles from aristocratic families are related, so Sun Haoyou can be regarded as his distant cousin.What kind of virtue he is, Lin Zhengqiao knows best.
Sun Haoyou was also very aware of Lin Zhengqiao's rigid temper.Originally, he was impatient to deal with it, but today he asked patiently for the first time: "Cousin, why didn't I hear that you worshiped a teacher outside? What is the background of that woman?"
"She's not someone you can offend." Lin Zhengqiao warned, "I advise you to stop thinking about it, otherwise no one will be able to protect you."
The more he said that, the more interest in Sun Haoyou's eyes became stronger. "Is there anything I can't afford in Cangzhou?"
He is the youngest son of Sun Zhen, the magistrate of Cangzhou, and he is used to running rampant in Cangzhou City. In addition, his mother is from Jinling, and she is a close friend with the current Queen Mother Qiu. Since Emperor Yuan succeeded to the throne, their family has become more powerful.
Is there anyone he can't afford to provoke?
Unless it is the chief assistant of the current cabinet.
But he was in the capital, so he couldn't provoke him even if he wanted to.
Seeing that Sun Haoyou still looked the same, Lin Zhengqiao's tone became more serious: "I'm doing this for your own good."
Literati are just too wordy, and Sun Haoyou actually looks down on this cousin who can only study and doesn't even hold an official position.Not only long-winded but also timid as a mouse.
He perfunctorily said, "I know my cousin."
After the banquet, the Lin family knew that Ruan Muyang came to Cangzhou alone, and wanted to keep her to stay for a while, but Ruan Muyang refused because he had other things to do.So the Lin family sent Ruan Muyang to the carriage very politely and respectfully, and watched the carriage go far before returning.
"Ma'am, the people of the Lin family have good conduct and a very good style." After arriving in Cangzhou, Fang Fang has been paying attention to Ruan Muyang's emotions, fearing that she will feel depressed because of being sent here, so she often talks to her and pays attention to her feelings .
Realizing that she came to Cangzhou, the words of enamel were obviously more than before, Ruan Muyang understood her intentions, and his heart was very warm.She nodded and said, "Yes, the people from the Lin family are really nice."
Not long after, the guard sitting outside the carriage with the coachman suddenly called out: "Madam."
"What's wrong?" Enamel asked.
The guard replied, "Someone is following us."
They just arrived in Cangzhou, they didn't know many people, and they didn't have any enemies. How could anyone follow them?
The first thing Ruan Muyang thought of was the Sun Haoyou he met at the banquet.
"Can you get rid of people?" she asked.
"Yes."
In the end, when they returned to the manor, the tails behind them were naturally thrown off.
Beijing.
The Empress Dowager Qiu couldn't stand the continuous rehearsal, so she summoned Zhang Anyi alone.
"A thorough investigation of unjust, false and wrongly decided cases and wrongful killings is a very arduous task. Is Mr. Zhang Ge sure you want to do this?"
Zhang Anyi is now the head of all the officials, and the pressure on Queen Mother Qiu not only comes from those papers, but also from Zhang Anyi's secret pressure on her.Emperor Yuan was still young, although she listened to the government behind the curtain, she was only the queen mother after all, and the court needed someone who could restrain the officials and be used by her.
Although Zhang Anyi could restrain the courtiers, she couldn't completely control them.But Queen Qiu had to admit his ability, and that he didn't have the heart of Luo Jie, Xu Hou and others.She is an extremely ambitious woman, but she has to rely on Zhang Anyi.Because the court can't do without him now.
Although the Yin Ji she was cultivating was very capable, he hadn't matured yet, and was easily dispatched by Zhang Anyi, and he was still unable to fight against him.
"On behalf of those ministers who died unjustly and their families, I implore the emperor and the empress dowager to agree." Zhang Anyi said firmly.
The Empress Dowager Qiu looked very pale, but she didn't have another attack.She looked at Zhang Anyi with her head down, anger was contained in her raised eyes.In the end, she closed her eyes, suppressed her emotions and said, "Then Zhang Ge will take full responsibility for this matter."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Empress Dowager."
In the first year of Xinde, on May [-]th, Emperor Yuan issued an order that the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and Metropolitan Procuratorate would cooperate with the cabinet to thoroughly investigate unjust, false and wrong cases in the court during the reign of Emperor Wu and Emperor Ling.
Zhang Anyi assigned this matter to Shen Wei.
Under the pillars outside Wenyuan Pavilion, Zhang Anyi and Shen Wei stood side by side, looking at the many palaces.
Shen Wei was still immersed in the excitement when he heard Emperor Yuan's decree, and there were tears in his eyes, which were as sharp as a man's on weekdays.Isn't it just for this day that she disguised herself as a man and took part in the imperial examination to become an official?Unexpectedly, the goal that was unrealistic at the beginning and pursued only with resentment would really come true one day.
She looked at the tall and generous shoulder beside her who seemed to be able to carry Guanghua for thousands of miles, and she was filled with emotion.
At the beginning, because her father was framed by Luo Jie for corruption, the entire Shen family was implicated, but she survived at her cousin's house.In her heart, she felt wronged by her father and the Shen family, so she secretly ran back to the capital, disguised herself as a man and entered Zhang Anyi's academy, worshiped under the same teacher as him, and became classmates with him.
She has often heard the name of the prodigy Zhang Anyi from her father since she was a child, and only after getting to know him did she realize that he is really talented and talented, and she became a close friend.
One year coincides with the anniversary of Shen Lian's death, Shen Wei secretly burns paper, and Zhang Anyi happens to bump into him.
At that time Shen Wei was startled.
"I wonder why you are so weird. It turns out that brother Shen is Mr. Shen's son." At that time, Zhang Anyi was only 16 years old and had not yet participated in the examination. Same as evildoer.
Hearing that he said it was "Young Master", Shen Wei breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a little disappointed in his heart.
After that, Zhang Anyi treated her better and took good care of her on weekdays.It can be seen that he is a man of conscience.
Later, he failed the exam.
The higher you get, the harder you fall.
At that time, the people who had praised him began to laugh at him, saying that he hurt Zhongyong and that he was exhausted.
But Shen Wei knew that he only participated in the imperial examination because Zhang Laoshangshu expected him to participate.He has been studying how to write stereotyped essays in the imperial examinations. He was able to pass the provincial examinations because of his adaptability and intelligence.His ambition is not above the officialdom.
After failing the ranking, Shen Wei found him: "Why don't you want to become an official?"
Under the ridicule of everyone, he was still as self-satisfied as before, but the ostentatious spirit on his body was restrained a little.Shen Wei still remembers what he said.
"There are so many people who want to enter the officialdom. They think that after becoming an official, they can make a fortune, show their ambitions, and shine on the lintel, but they only know how deep and dirty the water in the officialdom is after they enter. Ended up like your father. What good?"
What's so good about it?He sees so clearly.
Shen Wei bit her lips and said: "I can only rehabilitate my father and the Shen family if I become an official."
"Then wish Brother Shen the title of the Gold List in advance, and your wish will be fulfilled."
"What's your plan next?"
"Go for a walk." This is his ambition.
Zhang Anyi has been away for two years.After returning, although his appearance didn't change much, Shen Wei felt that he had become deeper.
Shen Wei and the others who had a good relationship with him set up wine in the restaurant to celebrate his return.As a result, she drank too much, and Zhang Anyi found out that she was a daughter when he sent her back.
Shen Wei, who was slightly drunk before, was sobered up by the fright.
"You already have the fame of raising people. Disguising yourself as a man is a felony for deceiving the emperor." Zhang Anyi's tone was serious.
Why doesn't she know?
That night, Shen Wei and Zhang Anyi quarreled violently.Later, Shen Wei was afraid that he would persuade her to give up, so she kept avoiding him, afraid to see him, but she still met him in the school.
Shen Wei turned around and wanted to leave but was stopped by Zhang Anyi.At last they came to a secluded place.
"If you want to persuade me to give up, then don't say it. I know how difficult this road is. The Shen family only leaves me alone. I don't want my father and our relatives to die like this." Shen Wei said Be firm.
"At first I thought you were a man and I didn't intend to persuade you, but now I know you are a woman. This is deceiving the emperor. Have you thought about how many people you will implicate if you are found out?"
She has been with her classmates day and night for so long, if it weren't for the accident that happened last time while drinking, who would have discovered that she was a woman?
Shen Wei wanted to refute, but Zhang Anyi's solemn tone made her dare not speak out.
After traveling for two years, she found that he had changed a lot.
"Always, I just want to vindicate my father and the Shen family." Shen Wei said firmly.
Zhang Anyi sighed, and suddenly said: "Sir Shen has been kind to me, I shouldn't just sit idly by. The road to rehabilitating is difficult, and it's inconvenient for you as a woman, so let me do it, and it can be regarded as repaying Mr. Shen. "
Shen Wei looked at him in surprise: "Don't you want to become an official?" Then she heard a sentence that shocked her and she will never forget it.
"My grandfather always wanted me to be an official, and I couldn't bear to let him down. In the past two years, I have traveled abroad and seen a lot of things. The officialdom is muddy water, and I can't stop taking this muddy water just because it's filthy. If you want to escape together, you should do more to treat the sewage, restore the morals of the world, and restore the innocence of those who died unjustly."
Shen Wei was shocked by the firmness revealed in his light tone, and suddenly felt that he was too narrow-minded.
She subconsciously asked: "Then what are you going to do?"
"No monarch is willing to admit his mistakes. If he wants to be a minister who can govern the world, he must first be a minister with power." Become a powerful minister after ups and downs!
At that time, Emperor Wu was in a strong body, suspicious and bloodthirsty, Luo Jie and Xu Hou were divided into two parts of the cabinet, and three immovable mountains were pressing down on him. His ambition seemed impossible to realize at the time.
But that's the only way.
After such a big change, coupled with the experience of disguised as a man in the past few years, Shen Wei's character has become stronger and stronger, and as a woman, her ability is not inferior to that of a man.She has already made up her mind to become an official, if she gives up at this time, what should she do next?get married?Have a child?These are not what she wants.
She would not think about these things until the Shen family was rehabilitated.
"After talking so much, you still want to persuade me to give up?" Shen Wei asked.
Zhang Anyi nodded: "This road is too difficult. It is even more dangerous for you to disguise yourself as a man. I will do the redress for you."
"Why do you replace me? I won't give up." Seeing his gentle look, Shen Wei became angry, "Zhang Er, you will be your minister of power, and I will follow my official career."
After this bad breakup, it will be the New Year.
After the [-]th day of the first lunar month, after the new year, a story about Zhang Anyi was widely circulated in the capital.It is said that at the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the lady from Ruan Shilang's family who was betrothed to King Xie Zhao of Yong'an fell into the lake with Zhang Anyi, and then Zhang Anyi carried the lady from the Ruan family to the shore under the eyes of everyone. .
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Anyi's marriage was settled.
He is getting married.
When Shen Wei heard the news, she felt a faint sense of loss, but she chose another path, so she no longer has the right to think about it.
The second year after Zhang Anyi got married was the general examination, and then the imperial examination.
From then on, they entered the turbulent court and experienced many thrilling moments. From Emperor Wu, to Emperor Ling and now Emperor Yuan, they witnessed the demise of two generations of kings. Xu Hou.The two seemingly unshakable mountains of Luojie fell down, and they have come to the present in the ups and downs of the officialdom.
Now Emperor Yuan finally decreed a thorough investigation of unjust killing and wrongful killing.Not only can she vindicate her father Shen Lian, but she can also vindicate more ministers who have been wronged like the Shen family and her father.
The events of the past ten years flashed through Shen Wei's mind quickly. She looked at the palace walls, and there seemed to be something surging in her eyes. "I didn't expect today to come so soon." Her voice trembled uncontrollably.
"Yes." Zhang Anyi looked into the distance, and the emotions in his eyes were extremely complicated.
Afterwards, he withdrew his gaze and looked at Shen Weidao: "Yin Ji already knows your identity. This person is deep in thought, and I am afraid that he will not be under you and me in the future. If this inspection of the two rivers and the two Huaihe Rivers returns smoothly, I am afraid it will not be so easy to suppress It's a disaster. After this matter is over, you can find a way to leave."
Shen Wei's first reaction was that he didn't want to leave.
"I don't want to leave."
After leaving the court, she can find a secluded place away from the capital and transform back into her daughter.But she didn't expect that.For so many years, she has become accustomed to pretending to be a man, and also accustomed to the intrigue in the court. Although it is good to stay away from disputes and restore her daughter's body, she doesn't know what she should do next.
Find someone to marry?
I'm afraid she won't be able to find a desirable husband in her life.What's more, she is not young anymore. At her age, ordinary women don't even get married, and most of them have children.Who would marry her an old maid?
Zhang Anyi frowned: "You can't be like this forever." He said cryptically.
"Why not?" The wind blowing from the deep palace blew Shen Wei's clothes, her voice was extremely firm, "Only you, Zhang Er, are allowed to have lofty aspirations, and others are not allowed to have lofty aspirations?"
Who says women are inferior to men?
She, Shen Wei, is now in the cabinet, looking around the world, most of the men are not as good as her.
Seeing the disapproval on Zhang Anyi's face, Shen Wei continued: "The Empress Dowager Qiu has great ambitions. She wants to train Yin Ji to become her own sharp sword. Yin Ji is indeed not simple, so you are above the court Don't you need more help? Luo Jie has fallen, so what is a Yin Ji who has not yet grown up?"
If he dared to reveal her identity, she would dare to get rid of him.
"Besides, I don't think Queen Mother Qiu can use this sharp sword well."
"It's up to you." Zhang Anyi said helplessly, "If something goes wrong, I will take other measures for Master Shen."
Shen Wei stopped talking to him, but changed the subject and said with a joke: "You have always put on a straight face these days. I heard that Mrs. Sister-in-law went to Cangzhou to eat the full moon wine given by Lin Zhengqiao's eldest son?" Although her facial features were feminine, her brows were soft. His demeanor is full of masculinity, and when he teases people, he is also suave and personable.
Zhang Anyi looked into the distance again without answering.
Outside the city of Cangzhou.
It has been two days since the Lin family came back from the banquet.
Zhang Anyi didn't send anyone to pick up Ruan Muyang, and Ruan Muyang didn't think about it anymore.Far away from the capital, far away from court disputes and intrigues, she lived a very leisurely life, and picked up the half-learned paintings a few years ago, and continued to practice.In the next few years, she was worried about being discovered by Zhang Anyi, and all she could think about was the situation in the court, and she had long since lost her leisure and elegance.
Pick it up just right now.
Because Ruan Taifei, who was still Concubine Ruan, painted a pattern of birds facing the phoenix, Ruan Muyang was best at drawing birds.
It is already the end of May, but the weather in Cangzhou is not hot, so it is just right to draw under the shade of trees.
Suddenly, a servant came over and said, "Ma'am, the son of the magistrate's family came to visit and said he wanted to investigate the rogues at sea who appeared recently."
Cha Liu Kou found her here?And how could it be the son of the magistrate's family who came to investigate the bandits?
Ruan Muyang put down his pen, and asked suspiciously: "The son of the magistrate's family?"
A person suddenly came to mind, and she asked, "What's the name of that young master?"
"Sun Haoyou, Mr. Sun." Many of the servants in the villa are locals from Cangzhou, so naturally they don't know Sun Haoyou's name.
Sure enough, it was him.I don't know if they came to investigate the bandits.
Yesterday, Ruan Muyang asked Mother Pan about the aristocratic family in Cangzhou, and also knew who Sun Haoyou was.He is the youngest son of the magistrate of Cangzhou. His mother's natal family is in Jinling, and she and Queen Mother Qiu are close friends in her boudoir, that's why he can be so arrogant.
Fang Fang's complexion changed: "Madam, it turned out to be him! Do you want to drive him away?"
Sun Haoyou's background is one of the best in Cangzhou, but he just doesn't have much discernment.
Ruan Muyang shook his head, and said to his servants: "Let Mr. Sun come in." You can find it here, and in the name of the government investigating the pirates at sea, how can she not see her?At that time, she will be accused of harboring bandits. Although nothing will happen in the end, it will alarm the capital.
After leaving the Lin's house that day, he was lost, but Sun Haoyou didn't worry about not being found.As long as he was in Cangzhou, there was no one he couldn't find.This time, the men he sent out took a full day and a half to find out Ruan Muyang's residence, which took much longer than he expected.
He had never heard of this manor outside the city, and he sent people to inquire about the owner behind it, but he couldn't find anything, it was very mysterious.As for the identity of the woman living in the courtyard, his subordinates did not find out either.
What a bunch of trash!
When the servants of the villa invited him in, Sun Haoyou smiled triumphantly, and said to the officials following behind him, "Go, go in."
After entering, he followed the servants while looking at the scenery in the manor, and finally came to the reception hall.
Seeing Ruan Muyang sitting there, he smiled and said: "Mrs. Zhang, the rogues who came from the sea recently made trouble outside the city of Cangzhou, burned, killed and looted, and I was ordered by the magistrate to search for the rogues." While speaking, His gaze swiveled on Ruan Muyang's face.
There is no male master in this manor house, her accent is not from the local area, her identity is not disclosed, making it so mysterious, her temperament is not like an ordinary woman, she is probably the outhouse of a big family or an official in the capital city or not. Beloved wife.
Ruan Muyang pretended not to feel his malicious gaze, and said, "Young master, check it out."
Sun Haoyou said to the official who came with him: "Check it out carefully, be careful not to let the bandits sneak in and disturb Mrs. Zhang."
"Yes."
The officials began to search around the courtyard.
Sun Haoyou himself did not move.He still stared at Ruan Muyang, and continued with a look that he thought was chic and suave: "For Madam's safety, I have to ask a few more questions." A bit greasy.
"Young master just ask."
"Did Madam notice any changes during the past two days?"
"Never."
Sun Haoyou asked again: "Where is Mrs. Zhang from? Why did you come to Cangzhou?"
"People from the capital, come to the full moon banquet for the eldest grandson of the Lin family, and stay in Cangzhou for a while."
Obviously he was the one who asked the question, but Sun Haoyou felt that he was at a disadvantage in terms of momentum.This feeling made him feel bad.
In the hall besides them, there was a servant girl and a servant. Seeing Ruan Muyang's dignified appearance, Sun Haoyou had other thoughts.He stepped forward calmly, and said with some momentum: "I think Madam's identity is a bit suspicious, and she appears again at this time, I'm afraid I need Madam to go down to the government."
Seeing him getting closer and closer, Fang Fang stood in front of Ruan Muyang and shouted: "Presumptuous!"
Ruan Muyang pressed the enamel to make her calm down, and asked with a smile, "I don't know what is suspicious about me?"
Sun Haoyou felt that Fangang's scolding had lost his face, and he was dissatisfied in his heart, not as amiable as before.He sneered and said: "You are all foreigners, and the time of your appearance coincides with the appearance of the rogues. The rogues have been ashore for several days, but they have not been caught just outside the city of Cangzhou. They are obviously hiding. This manor house The guards will be martial arts, and the people in the manor house do not communicate with the outside world on weekdays. When it gets dark, the gates are closed, and the rogues—”
Speaking of this, he paused, looked at Ruan Muyang's face: "And the rogues happened to appear in the dark."
He wanted to see Ruan Muyang show a panicked expression, and even confess his innocence to him, but Ruan Muyang let him down.
"Young Master, are you done?" Ruan Muyang smiled with a calm tone.
Her smile imitated Zhang Anyi's three-point appearance, the old god was there, and she looked a little advanced.
Sun Haoyou frowned.
"The young master is here to investigate the bandits, so I have to ask the young master some things first." Ruan Muyang's voice sounded slowly, allowing no one to question, "Does the young master have any fame? Does he have an official position in the government office?"
"Why are you asking this?" He, Sun Haoyou, still needs fame?
"Then there is no more." Ruan Muyang continued, "Since the young master has no official position, how can he bring an official to work for the prefect? Mostly it is for the benefit of the public, right?"
Sun Haoyou couldn't help laughing at her words: "I didn't expect Mrs. Zhang to be sharp-tongued."
A dangerous light flashed in his eyes, and he shouted, "Come on!"
Official errands appeared immediately.
"Everyone in this mansion looks very suspicious, especially her." Sun Haoyou pointed at Ruan Muyang, and smiled meaningfully, "Bring her back to me. My son will interrogate me personally, and the others will strictly guard her."
"Who dares!" Enamel said coldly.
Sun Haoyou smiled: "There is also this arrogant girl, let me take it away with you!"
Seeing the official messengers appearing, Ruan Muyang didn't panic, but calmly reminded: "I would like to advise Sun Gongzi, if Sun Gongzi goes back like this, it should be treated as if there has never been such a thing as today's fake public affairs for personal gain."
"Dare to threaten me? What if I don't?" Sun Haoyou became even angrier, "Do it!"
Enamel shouted: "Protect Madam!"
Immediately, five guards ran into the hall from the outside, and two of them quickly came to Ruan Muyang's side to protect her.
Sun Haoyou brought eight officials here today.Eight officials should be more than enough for five guards.
But what he didn't expect was that the eight officials he brought were subdued in one fell swoop.
Aside from the nursing home that originally existed in this manor, Zhang Anyi even arranged for guards to follow her when she came to Cangzhou this time.These few official posts brought by Sun Haoyou are nothing to be afraid of.
"I don't intend to cause trouble, and there are no rogues here, Mr. Sun, please go back." Ruan Muyang said.
She just thought it would be better to have one less thing than to do more, fearing that her identity would be revealed, and the threshold of the manor house would be broken down, disturbing her tranquility, so she didn't reveal her identity.But in Sun Haoyou's eyes, this turned into fear of causing trouble. He was even more sure that Ruan Muyang was the concubine of a nobleman or official in the capital, and those who wanted to arrange people to come to Cangzhou were probably not favored.
Since he had to hide and cover him like this, no one would openly investigate him if he moved, and besides, he was not favored.
Sun Haoyou's mind turned quickly, and he said: "This is a member of the government, are you trying to make an enemy of the government?"
"My lord misunderstood, we didn't mean that." Sensing that Sun Haoyou's crooked intentions had not been dispelled, Ruan Muyang reminded again: "A word of advice, now that there are rogues in Cangzhou, it is better to really focus on searching for rogues. Release Cangzhou The most important thing is to make the people of Cangzhou feel at ease."
After finishing speaking, she signaled the guards to release those officials.
Sun Haoyou had never been pointed at by a woman before, and he felt resentful in his heart: "An outsider, you really take yourself seriously? Let's go!" Just wait and see!
Ruan Muyang was taken aback by what he said.
Outer room?
Where does she look like an outsider?
After Sun Hao wandered away, Ruan Muyang thought about it, and just to be on the safe side, he called the commander of the guards who followed him this time and said, "I'm afraid he won't let it go so easily, can you give some advice to the magistrate in the name of the second master? "
