Chapter 392: Revealing old scores
Zhao Xing does sympathize with Ruyu's experience, but this will not make Zhao Xing soft-hearted.
He said earlier that Ruyu didn’t know much, not to make Ruyu relax her vigilance, but because he really felt that Ruyu didn’t know much.
But even so, the information in Ruyu's mouth is very useful.
But Zhao Xing could feel that Ruyu had deep hatred in his heart.
Even if Ruyu is forced to say something, it is difficult to determine whether it is true or false.
In this case, Zhao Xing didn't bother to ask, and was going to let Yin Hanzhang take his time to talk.
“Yes!”
Yin Hanzhang responded, and seeing that Zhao Xing had no other instructions, he bowed and retreated.
Zhao Xing sighed. He could imagine that the top leaders of the Wizarding Cult were probably people who had encountered some injustice and were full of resentment towards the court.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to hide for so many years and lead many rebellions without any news leaking out.
…………
This arrest of the Wizard Cult is not limited to the Wizard Cult members, but also includes those who have conclusive evidence and have secret dealings with the Wizard Cult.
Including Mo Lan.
Before, Zhao Xing asked Yin Hanzhang to contact Mo Lan secretly, but before he could take action, Zhao Xing ordered his arrest.
Naturally, there is no need to bother.
A group of forbidden troops came to the door and took Mo Lan away without giving any reason.
This frightened Wen Yanjing, and Wen Yanjing hurriedly went to find Sheng Hong.
Sheng Hong's face changed drastically when he heard this. The imperial army was dispatched to arrest people. It must be a big deal.
He quickly asked Wen Yanjing what Mo Lan had done recently, but how could Wen Yanjing know.
Mo Lan has always looked down on him, and the relationship between husband and wife was not harmonious after marriage.
It was only after he was named on the gold medal list that Mo Lan’s relationship with him eased a bit.
Sheng Hong could only send Wen Yanjing to go back first and find someone to inquire about the news.
Soon, he got the news that this time the officials issued an order to arrest people, and they were arresting people from the Wizarding Cult and those who had contact with the Wizarding Cult.
Among them is Hu Zhongyan, the Minister of Civil Affairs.
Sheng Hong's eyes darkened when he heard this and he almost fainted.
At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the imperial court issued a law banning witchcraft, but Mo Lan dared to get involved with the witchcraft cult.
Any family that is not prosperous will be affected.
Sheng Hong didn't even have the courage to go see Zhao Xing and inquire about the authenticity. He immediately returned home and told Mrs. Sheng the matter.
After hearing this, Mrs. Sheng also realized the seriousness of the matter and her face was very ugly.
"Mother, my son is not even close at this time. Do you think his son should go to the palace to see His Majesty and explain that this matter has nothing to do with the Sheng family?" Sheng Hong asked.
Speaking of which, Mrs. Sheng’s contribution to Sheng Hong’s success is indispensable.
Old Mrs. Sheng’s contribution was not just as simple as nurturing Sheng Hong and finding him a good marriage.
The most important thing is to make decisions for Sheng Hong when big things happen.
Although Sheng Hong is a tactful person, when he encounters a big problem, he is either messed up or confused.
Whenever this happens, it is Mrs. Sheng who stands up and makes the decision.
“You are entering the palace now because you want to clear up the relationship?”
Old Mrs. Sheng said coldly: “Do you think the officials have ordered people to be arrested, so you can’t find this? Does this matter have anything to do with the Sheng family?
Once you go, Mo Lan won’t have much of a problem and the punishment won’t be serious. Then outsiders will think it’s you who asked for mercy!
The officials arrested so many people this time, and they want to ask for more mercy! Gone.
When you leave, everything that was originally nothing becomes something. "But if you don't go, if the officials think too much..."
"If the officials don't think too much, our family is probably going to be in disaster." "
After Mrs. Sheng finished speaking, without waiting for Sheng Hong to ask, she turned around and said, "Go and find the eldest lady! ”
When she heard that Mo Lan was arrested, she thought of how Mo Lan had returned to the Sheng family many times before and took the initiative to submit to Mrs. Wang.
At that time, she felt that Mo Lan was helpless after getting married, and she knew the importance of her mother's family, so she showed her kindness to Mrs. Wang.
Now it seems that things may not be that simple.
"Yes!"
Fang's mother responded. Just as she raised her feet, there was a burst of footsteps outside.
After a while, Mrs. Wang entered the hall with the support of Mother Liu.
Mrs. Wang gasped, blessed Mrs. Sheng, then looked at Sheng Hong and said, "I heard that the official came back with an ugly face, but what happened?"
"I Ask you!”
Old Mrs. Sheng looked at Madam Wang and said, “Mo Lan has come back to show her kindness to you many times before. What did you say? What did you do?"
"Why did mother ask that?" Mrs. Wang was surprised: "My daughter-in-law is Mo Lan's aunt. Is it normal? "
When Sheng Hong listened to Mrs. Sheng's words, his face became even more ugly.
He was not at home every time Mo Lan came back. He only knew that Mo Lan came back, but no one told him that every time Mo Lan came back, he would chat with Mrs. Wang for a long time.
So I never thought about this before.
At this time, he finally understood what Mrs. Sheng said before, that the Sheng family was about to be in disaster.
Seeing Mrs. Wang still pretending to be confused, Sheng Hong shouted angrily: "If mother asks you, please tell the truth quickly, otherwise I will divorce you directly!"
"Official Are you going to divorce me?”
Mrs. Wang looked at Sheng Hong in disbelief and said: "I gave birth to children and took care of the housework for an official. Which of the seven rules did I break? Why did the official divorce me? How can an official live today? Thanks to my help from the Wang family, now that Guan Ren has grown up, you think the Wang family can’t help Guan Ren, so you want to divorce me? "
"Stop messing around here. The Wang family helped me, and I am very grateful, but I also helped my aunt deal with those dirty things. It was also to inform the Wang family and make the officials unhappy. Sheng Hong became angry when she mentioned this.
Before, Zhao Xingke promised to make him the governor of Kaifeng.
With his age, if he becomes the governor of Kaifeng, he will have hope for the position of father-in-law in the future.
No matter how bad it is, a deputy prime minister will always be fine.
When you become an official, you will inevitably be granted the title of one of the Three Dukes, who will be worthy of enjoying the Ancestral Temple.
When the time comes, he will be no worse than his father-in-law.
But all this is now in vain.
"I know that the official has always held a grudge in his heart. The official wants to divorce me. Is that because of this?" Mrs. Wang sneered.
"That's enough!"
Old Mrs. Sheng threw away the tea cup in her hand angrily and shouted: "How long has it been and you are still here to settle old scores?"
"My son has realized his mistake. !" Sheng Hong bowed quickly.
Madam Wang scratched her neck and said, "I'm right! The official wants to divorce me, why can't I still speak?"
Old Mrs. Sheng looked disappointed. He looked at Sheng Hong and said, "Tell her what happened."
After hearing this, Sheng Hong turned to look at Mrs. Wang and told the news that Mo Lan had been arrested because of his involvement with the wizarding sect.
A trace of panic flashed in Mrs. Wang's eyes, and she said: "She and I were just chatting, not talking about anything. She just asked me to help mention Wen Yanjing's appointment in front of the officials. ”
It’s just that Mrs. Wang is a little bit wealthy, so how can she hide her expression from Mrs. Sheng and Sheng Hong.
