Provincial Government, Yuan Family.

Mrs. Yuan helped Commissioner Yuan take off his official uniform, hesitated for a moment, and said: "I heard that the Yan family has a close relationship with the Prince Heping's Mansion. If the master arrests Magistrate Yan like this, will he offend that person?"

Bit?"

Chief Yuan had a nonchalant look on his face: "Xiao Yeyang's status is quite valuable in the eyes of local officials, but behind our Yuan family there are Empress Dowager De and the fifth prince. As for the second princess, do we still need to be afraid of him?"

Mrs. Yuan: "You can't say that. After all, we are descendants of the royal family, so we shouldn't get too serious."

Ambassador Yuan Bu snorted coldly: "When I arrested Yan Zhigao, I acted according to the rules. If he lost his army rations, I would not be afraid even if he went to the emperor to make trouble."

Ambassador Yuan was not a person who liked to listen to advice. Seeing that Mrs. Yuan seemed to want to say something else, he suddenly became impatient.

"Okay, Xiao Yeyang has been away from Beijing for many years, and neither Prince Heping nor the relationship with the Emperor is close, so don't worry about it."

Then, he laughed.

"Before, when Prince Ping helped to rectify the Ma family, Xiao Yeyang did not dare to return to Beijing to cause trouble. It can be seen that he is a coward. Even the children of the royal family are not afraid of such a person."

"Isn't he close to the Yan family? I've been arresting Yan Zhigao for a whole day, but he doesn't even show up, and he doesn't send anyone to inquire. This is either because he is afraid of my Yuan family, or there is no legend.

I want to be on good terms with the Yan family."

"Okay, collecting military rations these days has exhausted me. I'll go to Aunt Shui's place tonight to relax."

After saying that, she strode away without waiting for Mrs. Yuan's reaction.

Looking at her husband walking away, Mrs. Yuan frowned.

At this time, Yuan Zhilei came to the main courtyard and saw her mother sitting alone, lost in thought. She stepped forward and asked, "Mom, has father gone to Aunt Shui's place again?"

Mrs. Yuan asked her daughter to sit down and didn't talk much about the concubines in the mansion. She had already looked down on it over the years. The master was a good-looking person. Aunt Shui had just been sent here by Chiang Kai-shek for a few months, so she was fresh.<

/p>

"Are you here for something?"

Yuan Zhilei frowned. Although her mother didn't answer, she already knew the answer. However, as a daughter, she couldn't say much about what happened in her father's room, so she opened her mouth and said the purpose of coming: "Mother, I heard someone say

, the eldest son of the Yan family asked to see his father several times, but was turned away by his father. Is this going too far?"

"Although Magistrate Yan lost the army rations, his crime still has to be decided by the emperor. Moreover, Magistrate Yan has a good reputation among the people of Zhongzhou. What my father is doing now is so ruthless, I am afraid it will arouse criticism."

"My daughter really doesn't understand why her father would do this?"

Mrs. Yuan sighed: "Your father has that kind of temper. Our family held a reception banquet in February. All the officials in Zhongzhou came, but Magistrate Yan was absent. Your father felt that he did not take the Yuan family seriously. Now he has

If you have a chance, don’t be angry.”

"Moreover, the Yan family has good relations with Xiao Yeyang. When he was a child, Xiao Yeyang often bullied the fifth prince in the palace. He once beat the fifth prince until he lay in bed for more than half a month. Your father has always remembered this.

."

"Xiao Yeyang is the son of Prince Ping. Your father can't deal with him directly, but the Yan family has no worries."

"Also, Chiang Kai-shek visited your father a few days ago and mentioned that Magistrate Yan had discovered a high-yielding food called potatoes. This great contribution to the country and the people made your father think about it."

"You also know that since the emperor was seriously injured while worshiping his ancestors, the several princes who have entered the court have become fiercely competitive. Your father wants to offer potatoes to the fifth prince to increase his prestige among the people."

Yuan Zhilei frowned more and more as she listened: "Mom, Jiang Shenzheng told his father about the potatoes, he clearly had ulterior motives. In recent years, although our family and the Jiang family have said that they are not in conflict with each other, the Jiang family has no reason to help our family.

, especially now that the queen has raised Ma Bin’s son, the Jiang family does not want to see other princes excelling. My father must not be fooled by Jiang’s participation in politics.”

Mrs. Yuan was also worried: "You and I can see the problem, but your father doesn't feel anything wrong at all. Without the constraints of your grandparents, he is doing whatever he wants."

"When the family decided to send your father out, I was very worried. But it was your grandparents who decided everything at home, so my mother was helpless."

Yuan Zhilei suddenly stood up: "I can see that it is Aunt Shui who is whispering in my father's ear. My father usually behaves inappropriately, but he does not lose his sense of proportion at all. Jiang Shengzheng sent Aunt Shui over.

It’s really vicious.”

Mrs. Yuan signaled her daughter to be calm and calm: "Okay, don't be anxious. Fortunately, the Yan family has no foundation. If he is arrested, he will be arrested. The emperor will not embarrass our family because of him."

"I have already written to inform your grandparents about the situation. I think it won't be long before your grandfather will send his staff to assist your father."

Yuan Zhilei nodded: "I hope my grandfather's staff will come soon."

......

Jiang family.

Jiang Shenzheng squinted and listened to the report of his subordinates. After his subordinates left, Mrs. Jiang walked over and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Chiang Kai-shek: "I'm thinking about Xiao Yeyang."

Mrs. Jiang: "Huh?"

Jiang Shenzheng said nothing, squinting in thought.

This time he attacked the Yan family, firstly to vent his anger on his daughter. The eldest girl of the Yan family dared to seduce the person his daughter liked. She was really impatient to live.

The second is to test Xiao Yeyang.

His father and eldest brother wrote several times asking him to test Xiao Yeyang, thinking that Xiao Yeyang was probably the Emperor's specially appointed Jinling Guards commander, Mr. Xiao. Unfortunately, he failed to find out anything the first few times.

In early July, the Eight Kings failed to seize the city. It is said that it was because Master Xiao took action and took away many of the Eight Kings' men.

After receiving this news, he planned the food seizure incident.

From the standpoint of the Jiang family, he does not hope that the rebellion in Northern Xinjiang will subside too quickly. If the Eight Kings are eliminated, the emperor's ruling power will become stronger and stronger.

Without the constraints, the emperor will definitely turn around and weaken the powerful Jiang family.

No one in the Jiang family wants to see this.

Taking away the 100,000 grains from Ningmen Mansion can not only clean up the Yan family, but also create trouble for the emperor, and also make a small fortune, killing three birds with one stone.

He should be very satisfied with this result, but now that Xiao Yeyang has not appeared, the joy in his heart has been reduced by half.

Mrs. Jiang misunderstood Jiang's intention to participate in politics, and sneered at this: "I usually see that Xiao Yeyang has a good relationship with the Yan family. Before, Wanying saw him and the eldest daughter of the Yan family walking closely together, but now the Yan family has a good relationship."

Something happened to Zhigao, but he ignored it, which shows that he didn't really take the Yan family to heart."

Jiang Shenzheng shook his head: "We haven't seen Xiao Yeyang for several months. Is he still in Zhongzhou? Over in northern Xinjiang, the mysterious Master Xiao has appeared again."

Mrs. Jiang was stunned for a moment, then she thought of something and widened her eyes: "Master, you mean... Xiao Yeyang is that Master Xiao?"

Jiang Shenzheng breathed out: "Nine times out of ten." After saying that, he strode to the study.
