Chapter 236 Use power for personal gain

This is Ji Wan's first time meeting Mrs. He.

A woman in her thirties still has charm. She is wearing a light ginger-colored flowered jacket and skirt, and her every move is calm and elegant.

She entered the room and bowed her knees.

"Mife Wang, I have met the prince's wife."

Ji Wan smiled and said, "Madam, don't be too polite, please sit down."

Mrs. He nodded, sat down aside, quickly glanced at the woman sitting at the seat, put away her eyes and said, "I thanked my wife for help from her to avoid the disaster of the little girl. The civilian woman was very grateful. Now I heard that my wife was worried, so I came to the door here, hoping to relieve her worries."

Ji Wan raised her eyebrows.

"oh?"

The previous ones are all scenes, the key is the last sentence.

Mrs. He looked calm and said, "The magistrate of Qinglin County has a concubine, who is the niece of the family of a civilian woman."

Ji Wan was surprised.

She ordered people to go to Yancheng and retrieve the resume of the Qinglin County Magistrate from the government office.

This Qinglin County Magistrate is not simple either.

Cen Hongguang, the second son of the Yongchang Hou Mansion in the capital

That is her aunt, Xiao Zhou's ex-fiance.

When Ji Wan first learned about this, she was quite surprised. This world was really small enough.

That incident that year had a great impact.

Her mother was expelled, Xiao Zhou married far away from Beijing, and Cen Hongguang, a playboy with misbehavior, was also sent to Qinglin County, the northern part of the country to be the county magistrate.

Although the Yongchang Marquis Mansion was prominent, it actually did not have much real power to this generation. Neither the Zhou family nor the Xiao family nor the Yongchang Marquis Mansion could afford to offend him.

The old master reluctantly gave up his eldest grandson, and his second son of the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion would not be able to survive.

Therefore, Cen Hongguang's exile lasted for eighteen years and has not been promoted to Beijing so far.

As you can imagine, there must be complaints in your heart.

"Mrs. I might as well speak out."

Smart people don’t need nonsense.

Mrs. He almost became an official wife, and her mother's family must be an ordinary person. In ancient times, legitimate and illegitimate were clearly distinguished. The daughters of good families would never be concubines. Besides, Cen Hongguang was still an old cow who ate young grass.

Mrs. He deliberately told this matter first, probably because there was something else.

"The young lady is quick to speak, so the private woman will stop beating around the bush."

Mrs. He pondered for a while and told the truth.

"My Wang family is also a scholar, but my brother unfortunately died early, leaving behind a son and a daughter. My nephew is a poor person. He doesn't study hard and thinks about how to take shortcuts. He messed with a group of friends all day long and got sick of his mother. Later, he was imprisoned to go to the gambling house and owed a lot of money. The family couldn't pay it back, so my sister-in-law had no choice but to come to me. Who knew that the other party didn't want money and wanted someone."

Mrs. He said this with a harsh tone.

"My niece was only thirteen years old at that time. It was because my sister-in-law went up the mountain to seek Buddha when she was seriously ill and was peeped at, so she caused this disaster. It was precisely because of this that my father-in-law offended the Cen family and had to resign and avoid Langui Town."

Rely on his strength to bully the weak and rob the women of the people.

It is indeed the most passionate thing for the powerful.

A small county magistrate can rely on his family to do whatever he wants in this barren land.

"We originally thought of suing the case. There are many bureaucrats from northern China who came from a noble family, but they sued the case in the capital if they really didn't work. But Cen Hongguang had a good relationship with Wu Yang Bo. Our lawsuit could not even leave Yancheng, so how could we go to Beijing? Besides, the reputation of my daughter's family is so important. My niece has entered Cen's mansion. Even if she escaped from birth, she could only be twisted her hair and become a sister-in-law. My sister-in-law's condition has worsened and she went there soon. My nephew has changed from then on, studying peacefully, in order to get fame and fortune in the future. This matter has just passed."

Mrs. He's tone contains hatred, sadness, and helplessness.

"The day before yesterday, my niece suddenly sent someone to send a letter saying that she had accidentally heard Cen Hongguang and Wu Yang Bo's secret conversation, wanting to block the front-line military supplies and food, and frame the Anguo Duke's Mansion for corruption in the military supplies, so she came to report it."

The imperial court provided certain military resources to the garrisons in various places every year, and more during marches and wars.

I don’t know how long the battle with Beidi will last. If it is lengthened during the war, there will be insufficient food and grass, and the court will be able to provide supplies to it. We will run all the way, pass through the northern counties, and finally arrive at the front line. Qinglin County is one of them.

If Cen Hongguang and Wu Yangbo join forces to deliberately detain military rations, resulting in the soldiers in front of him being out of food and his morale is in chaos, he will be defeated. The emperor far away in the capital is in a state of anxiety about internal and external troubles, and the political enemies of the Lu family will definitely add fuel to the fire, and Emperor Mingde may not be interested in investigating the truth. After an imperial edict, the Lu family will be devastated.

So cruel!

Ji Wan gritted her teeth secretly.

Since she learned about Cen Hongguang's origin, she has no doubt that he would collude with Wu Yang Bo. The conspiracy in the inner courtyard of the Xie Mansion that year made the Zhou family lose two legitimate daughters and the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion lose a legitimate son, which can be regarded as a counter-offset between the two. But more than ten years later, the Zhou family returned to the capital again and entered the Xiao Mansion as a noble lady. However, Cen Hongguang, due to mediocrity and inaction, the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion could not find an opportunity to transfer him back to the capital.

This hatred was defeated.

She married Lu Feili, and the Lu family became their support for mother and daughter, so Cen Hongguang naturally took the blame for the Lu family. After years of grievances, it broke out when Wu Yang Uncle came to him.

These scums!

"I understand the purpose of my wife." She said seriously: "The Cen family uses power to seek personal gain to harm the people and even the generals on the border, and Miss Wang will be retribution at that time."

This is a promise.

Since we knew the conspiracy between Cen Hongguang and Wu Yangbo, how could the Duke Anguo Mansion let these two succeed?

Mrs. He stood up and said sincerely: "Thank you, Mrs. Prince."

After seeing off Mrs. He, Ji Wan wrote a letter to Lu Feili, asking the guards in the mansion to send them to the front line at a rapid speed.

"Sanlang, if you kill Feng Bo, Wuyang Hou will be resentful and may take revenge afterwards."

After beheading Wu Yang Bo's son, Master Lu Si said to his nephew.

Lu Feili looked calm, "I'm afraid he won't take revenge."

Master Lu Si was full of doubts, "What does this mean?"

Duke An Guo Lu Chang answered his brother's doubts, "The Feng family has gradually declined, and most of the relatives have followed the path of civil servants, but they are not good at it. Wu Yangbo is determined to shine his family and inherit the character of his ancestors, but he is mediocre and incompetent. His son is as ambitious as him. The Feng family holds the title and enjoys the salary given by the court, but he thinks about evil ways all day long, taking shortcuts and not making progress. He even stuffs his son, who is in a pampered bag, and almost causes a disaster. Such borers should have been removed long ago."
