Chapter 100 Impeachment
In Kunning Palace, the emperor who resigned from the court could not hide his anger.
The money from Jiangnan has not been shipped back yet, but everyone in the morning today was asking him for money.
"Shameless!"
The emperor did not smash the cup, he smashed the pillow that the queen used to use. "Those people have made up their mind to keep me poor and unable to do anything."
"Who said that?"
The queen picked up the pillow, patted the dust on it, and whispered softly: "If you scatter nearly ten million dollars, it will be a problem." She said to the emperor He smiled when he looked over, "Those adults all feel that their matters are extremely urgent, so the Emperor will decide which one is really urgent. The choice is in your hands. This is the advantage."
The Emperor: "... ..."
His irritable mood slowly calmed down.
"Without this money, you still have to work hard to squeeze out money for the Jiubian warriors and raise money for the disaster areas in urgent need of disaster relief. Now that you have this money, at least you don't need to worry about these two things."
The queen herself poured another cup of tea for the emperor, "Come, have a sip of tea, then go to the Supreme Emperor and do what needs to be done."
"..."
The emperor took the tea , "I have to thank my father for pointing you out to me."
"Your Majesty~"
"Hahaha!"
The emperor laughed, " Am I wrong? "
He can sit firmly in this seat because every time he gets impatient, the queen can help him stabilize from another angle.
The emperor drank the tea in one gulp and said, "Wait, I will go to your father to ask for credit."
He lost so much money in one fell swoop, he still couldn't tell his father. You're so cute, do you want to reward the queen?
As an emperor, he, as the emperor, has to bear the national affairs, and so does his father.
He had worked hard for a long time to get Jiangnan's money. Since he was forced to give it away, he should be generous and worry about his father's needs, and then get some good things from his father for the queen.
This would also prevent her from being targeted and offended by Concubine Zhen everywhere in the harem.
The emperor made up his mind and walked faster and faster.
Unbeknownst to him, King Jin, who had been scheming with a few of his confidants, was also coming to the palace in a hurry.
To convince the emperor, he must get the support of his father.
The Li family’s nearly tens of millions of silver, the father would definitely not be happy to fall into the hands of the emperor at this time.
King Jin was very confident that his father would be on his side and convince the emperor.
……
Ningguo Mansion, Shen Ning’s head hurts.
The nearly tens of millions of money from the Li family has disrupted the peace of the capital and the court.
This is definitely not the case in the Red Mansion.
Speaking of the timeline at this time, there are still several years before Yuanchun becomes a concubine. In other words, the Supreme Emperor was still in control of everything at this time.
But the money that the emperor worked so hard to obtain...
The Supreme Emperor would not let him control so much money.
There is also King Jin. King Jin will definitely try his best to use the court to intercept the money. Will the emperor be able to bear all this?
Shen Ning wanted to sigh.
While she was worried about further changes in the capital, she was also worried about Jia Lian.
He should know about the seventh son of the Li family running away, right?
As long as you stay at the inn, where the information is well-informed, you will know. If you know this, you should be able to take precautions.
There are also people who come to rescue...
Shen Ning pinched her eyebrows and said, "Prepare the sedan and go to Xifu."
Rather than waiting at home, it is better to take the initiative.
So, not long after, Wang Xifeng, who had just left the Rongxi Hall, saw the person coming in a sedan chair.
She was very surprised, "Auntie..."
While calling someone, Wang Xifeng was already thinking a lot in her mind, wondering if she and her parents-in-law had done anything wrong recently. , "Is there something wrong? It's so late, you can just give the order, so why come here in person?"
When she laughed with her and helped the person in person, Ping'er carefully stepped back and hurriedly went to report.
"Lian'er is coming back, but the journey may not be peaceful."
What?
Wang Xifeng was surprised.
But Shen Ning had already strode to the Hall of Rongxi.
After receiving the news, Jia She and Mrs. Xing also hurried over to greet them.
"Sister-in-law!"
"Have you received the news that the Li family in Jiangnan was raided?"
Ah?
“Yes!”
Jia She nodded hurriedly.
Just because he received the news, he asked his daughter-in-law to come over and order the banquet that night, "I just told my daughter-in-law that I wanted to invite her brother Zhen to come over to celebrate."
"..."
Shen Ning was speechless, "Li Haifeng, the seventh master of the Li family, escaped. The Li family colluded with Japanese pirates and destroyed several salt fields in the south of the Yangtze River. They also set up an ambush outside Yangzhou City to rob other salt merchants. Do you know?”
“Know…know.”
Jia She lowered his head.
At this time, he finally understood why his sister-in-law passed away.
“Don’t you know the truth about cutting grass without eradicating the roots, but the spring breeze will bring new growth?”
Shen Ning hates that iron cannot be made into steel. But when they took advantage of the opportunity, they all took action quickly. How could Li Haifeng be in trouble? The Li family couldn't escape in time because of Lian'er, so that everything from money to people was wiped out. How can he not hate it? "
Jia She: "..."
Wang Xifeng: "..."
The expressions of both of them could not help but change.
"Lian'er and Sister Min have two options when they return to the capital: water or land."
Shen Ning said: "Zhen'er has already taken people to Tongzhou. Brother Shen, you can go to Tianjin. Of course it's better if nothing happens. If something happens... you can take action in time."
"I, I..., I'll go right away."
Jia She lifted up his robe and was about to leave.
Although his son has always praised his second brother and his family, he is also his biological son.
It was his wife who risked her life and left him with her last thoughts.
"Why are you so anxious?"
Shen Ning hurriedly stopped, "The people of the Li family... are brave and careful. We have already sent people to meet Lian'er by land. If the other party meets Lian'er, They are outnumbered, so they may not take action, but they will definitely find a way to get closer and observe."
Anyway, she would definitely do this if she were Li Haifeng.
"Remember, when you meet Lian'er and the others, don't rush to recognize them first, carefully observe the people around them. If you have a Yangzhou accent and follow you to Beijing all the way from Jiangnan, please notify the government. Take them all before talking."
Shen Ning stared at Jia She, "Check it out and apologize immediately if you take it wrong. The Jia family will recognize the loss and don't be stingy."
"Don't worry, sister-in-law."
Jia She held up his hands and strode out, calling out, "Come here, hurry up and spread the word of Lin's filial piety!"
He left in a hurry, and Shen Ning turned to Wang Xifeng, whose face turned pale, and said, "Don't be afraid, he brought four guards from Dongfu before. Your Uncle Lin in Jiangnan will definitely send more people to escort him." Your Aunt Min will be fine normally.”
“...I understand.”
Auntie is planning for a rainy day.
Wang Xifeng nodded.
But understanding is one thing, and worrying is another. "If he and Aunt Min haven't arrived in Tongzhou or Tianjin, then..."
"Your father-in-law is not stupid. , he will welcome you.”
It’s not easy to welcome you here at Tongzhou Pier.
However, since Li Jiatong was a Japanese pirate, and Lin Ruhai had been an official in Yangzhou for many years, he had noticed that he would not let them come back by boat easily.
Shen Ning nodded towards Mrs. Eat hers. "I'll accompany my sister-in-law."
Mrs.
The couple finally managed to return to Rongxi Hall.
If something happened to Jia Lian, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Besides Jia Lian, the only other person in their big house now is Jia Cong, who is just eight months old.
"As a family, there is nothing to be polite about."
Shen Ning knew that Mrs. Xing had been outside with her on the day she gave birth, so she was willing to be more patient with her, " Feng'er, come along too!"
"Yes!"
Wang Xifeng suppressed her uneasiness and supported Shen Ning on the right.
Rongxi Hall is only a stone's throw away from Jia Muyuan, almost two hundred meters away.
The old lady smiled from ear to ear when she heard Shen Ning coming over to eat.
“Why don’t you bring Yue’er over?”
“She was sleeping when I came.”
Shen Ning knows that the old lady has delicious food here "Auntie, I finally came here. You can prepare a few more dishes."
"..."
Jia Mu couldn't help laughing, "Girl Feng, hurry up and give me your instructions." Kitchen, add four more dishes.”
What doesn’t Ningguo Mansion have?
It is very rare for Shen to come and have dinner with her.
"Today we have steamed duck with fermented wine and chicken marrow and bamboo shoots. I remember you have always loved eating them too."
"Yeah!"
Shen Ning smiled and nodded, "Auntie still loves me."
"Hahaha~"
The old lady laughed, "You have such a sweet mouth, tell me, do you have anything to ask me for?"
"That's not true."
Shen Ning glanced at Wang who came in with a smile and said, "That's right, I just recruited Brother Shen out."
< br>What?
Jia Mu was stunned.
Is something really wrong?
“What’s the matter?”
“Lian’er did something big in Jiangnan.”
Shen Ning knew that Wang must have received the news. Instead of letting her add fuel to the fire and frighten the old lady, she might as well do it on her own, "More than a month ago, Li Haizhong, a salt merchant from the south of the Yangtze River, collaborated with the Ministry of Industry. Did Mr. Chen frame our family? Zhen'er was so angry that she sent a letter to Lian'er. When Lian'er received the letter, she went to the Li family to make a big fuss. It happened in full view of the public, and the Li family suffered a loss as a result.
However, this was all on the surface. Secretly, the Li family probably felt that something was wrong because of Li Haizhong's crime, and packed up their things. He colluded with the Japanese pirates and wanted to make a big profit before escaping. As a result, because of Lian'er's intrusion, all the respectable young masters of the Li family suffered a lot. They couldn't escape for a while and were taken over by the emperor's people transferred from other places. "
Jia Mu: "..."
She couldn't help but recite Buddha in her heart.
But Wang...
is very unconvinced.
"Sister-in-law, how did I hear that the Lord of the Royal Envoy wants to impeach Lian'er because he is using the power of the Duke's Palace to show his prestige in the Li family?"
One of the Wang family members He looked worried, "The master heard about it and went out to inquire early, but he hasn't come back yet."
"..."
"..."
The room was silent for a while.
Jia Mu’s face was extremely ugly.
What can her second son ask about?
If you go out, you will be scared.
“What does it mean to take advantage of the influence of the Duke’s Mansion?”
Shen Ning took the tea brought by the little maid, took a sip and said, “Lian’er is from the Duke’s Mansion. Heir. What? If the Li family is allowed to frame our Jia family, why can’t the Jia family speak out? If the Li family is really right, why don’t they report it to the official? She snorted coldly, "Brothers and sisters, please don't forget, Lian'er is from the Jia family. He knows that his family is being bullied, but he is timid and pretends not to know, or tells others that he is a gentleman. Do you believe it?" I can break his legs when he comes back."
After saying this, Shen Ning threw the tea cup on the small table, "What are you asking about, second brother? Come back, if you let me know, he is just trying to please others outside, saying that his nephew is wrong..."
There was a murderous intent in her eyes, and when she was about to say something, Jia Mu hurriedly stopped her. Her harsh words, "Don't worry, Zheng'er won't do it."
When she said this, the old lady had already winked at the maid beside her.
Out of the corner of her eye, Shen Ning saw the maid carefully retreating. She didn't care at all and just stared at Wang. "Did the second brother and sister mean by what they just said, did they blame Lian'er for being impeached?"
"...No."
Ms. Wang glanced at the six strong women who were about to rush in when they heard her sister-in-law was angry. The corners of her mouth trembled uncontrollably, "I Mr. He just heard about this and wanted to find out who wanted to impeach Lian'er. Remember him. "
"That's it!"
Shen Ning said to Qing Ping who was accompanying him. : "Go back to the government and send someone to ask Brother Rong to inquire. Just tell me what I said. Whoever dares to impeach Lian'er about the Li family's affairs will be suspected of collaborating with Japanese pirates. Let him write a report on his father's behalf and die for me. Impeachment.”
“Yes!”
Qing Ping went in a hurry.
All of a sudden, everything was so quiet inside and outside the door, from the master to the maid.
Xing and Wang Xifeng were moved and admired, while Jia Mu and Wang were panicked.
Both of them were very afraid that Jia Zheng was telling people that his nephew was wrong.
If he said this, Mrs. Shen would probably expose him.
“An official who does not distinguish between right and wrong is not worthy of standing in the court.”
Shen Ning turned to Jia Mu, “Auntie, do you think I am right?”
>
"Yes!"
Jia Mu nodded hurriedly, "I want to see, old lady, who dares to impeach Lian'er for this."
This grandson is quite good.
They have already beaten her at home, and he knows that he is at their door again. If he doesn’t fight back... she will also be angry.
The old lady glanced at Mrs. Wang with disgust and said, "Go back!"
This daughter-in-law has a bad heart, is stupid, and can't speak.
If she was allowed to stay any longer, the old lady was worried that her nephew-in-law would hit someone, and then overturned the table where she was eating.
She is old, and she really can't bear this sudden surprise.
"...Yes!"
Wang's face swelled, her head lowered, and she bowed out, "The wife resigned."
My mother-in-law refused to give. Her face, Mrs. Wang is simply too shameless to see anyone.
Especially in front of so many people.
As soon as she left the house, Mrs. Wang covered her face and had red circles under her eyes. When she turned around, she saw her daughter-in-law Li Wan and her daughter Yuan Chun walking towards them, talking and laughing.
She...
"Mother~"
Moon Chun was so surprised to see his mother like this!
But when she saw the six strong women who belonged to the eldest uncle alone, she became a little clearer.
My mother was not convinced by my uncle, so she wanted to mess with her whenever she saw her.
But every time she was provoked, she couldn't defeat her uncle.
"Sister-in-law, help me confess my sins to my grandmother and aunt, and I will send my mother off."
Yuan Chun helplessly supported her mother, "Mother, let's go back!" she wanted Ask what happened again, and analyze to your mother how many mistakes she made.
