240 What should I do if the troublemakers are always trying to kill me? Urgent, wait online!
Since their daughter Wang Wanying was granted the title of princess and married away with the Northern Yi mission, the presence of the Wang family in the court has been declining again and again.
The princess-in-law sounds nice, princess, and of royal blood, but in fact, in the eyes of countless Qingliu people in the court who came from the imperial examination, or officials who relied on the favor of aristocratic families to cheat in the imperial examination, this is synonymous with being unfriendable.
Because if you are not careful, you will be charged with genocide and treason.
In addition, the Wang family has made good friends with three factions in the court, and then successfully broke up with the three factions. They have become slaves of the three surnames in the court, hated by everyone...
So let alone making friends with them, as soon as the Wang brothers stopped there, other officials automatically backed away, directly isolating them.
If the two Wang family members were only minor officials in the court, or in ordinary positions, they would not be worried about this.
But they happen to be sitting in the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works. One is a money bag and the other is an oil can.
The former blatantly made money and took advantage of the Dayan trade route.
The latter was in charge of repairs, almost making a fortune from each repair, which could be said to be the envy of everyone in the court.
Not to mention the Xiao family, which is currently the most prosperous in the court, and the three major factions that are like wolves and tigers, even among the neutral Qingliu officials, there are many people who want to unseat them and restore the treasury to a clean state.
If it weren't for the fact that the Wang family has a lot of money and power, and their actions of disregarding human life often caused the personal hatred of the people below, and if a princess was just married, the papers to impeach them would have been handed over long ago.
So the two Wang family are worried.
While he was anxious, he still sent someone to deliver a message, hoping that when Wang Ting returned to Beijing, they could talk to her in person.
Isn’t the Xiao family poor?
Aren't you short of money?
They are willing to give it! As long as the Xiao family takes care of them, whose pocketbook are they not?
However, at this juncture, something happened to their Wang family again...
"Brother, this strange disease in Su County is so dangerous. I'm afraid it's not a plague..."
In the study room of the Wang family, Wang Zhi, the Minister of Industry, was looking at his brother tremblingly, his face turning green and white.
This Su County is one of the richest counties among the twelve counties in the river, and it is also the main gathering place for the royal family's industry and influence.
It can be said that out of the ten officials there, seven or eight are from them.
The governor of Su County, Yu Gaogeng, was his brother Wang Zheng's favorite disciple. He had just married a woman from their Wang clan not long ago, and he had close ties with their Wang family.
However, just an hour ago, Yu Gao sent a letter. The letter described in detail a strange creature that suddenly appeared in Su County, causing people to have sores on their bodies, high fevers, and death in a few days.
sick.
The disease had no origin or cause. He had seen and heard nothing about it, so he immediately wrote to Beijing and asked his teacher to make a decision.
"Dad, if it is really a plague, we should report it to the court immediately and ask the court to send an imperial doctor to Su County to save people..."
Next to Wang Zhi, Wang Meng, a rising star of the Wang family who had suffered a series of bad luck after meeting Xiao Xiruo, was looking at his father with fearful eyes.
There is a plague from heaven, and death comes in the morning and in the evening.
Since ancient times, this has been one of the most feared disasters for the imperial court.
Unless the evil spirit is suppressed before it spreads, otherwise there will be corpses everywhere...
"Plague? It's just a small disease. How can there be a plague! You read every day, but the book has ended up in the dog's belly?"
Seeing the hopeless looks of his son and brother, Wang Zheng felt dizzy, bloated, blood boiling...
how?
Even his disciple knew the truth, but they didn't understand it at all?
Report?
Regardless of whether it is a plague or an ordinary pimple disease, they can only suppress it and ignore it.
Why?
Because the Wang family is in a precarious position and cannot withstand the baptism of dereliction of duty.
Who is Yu Gao?
His disciple!
The teacher and his students were both prosperous and devastated. Once the imperial court sent people to Su County, regardless of whether there was a plague in Su County, those who were interested could use this to investigate Yu Gao and his Wang family's influence in Su County.
.
Not to mention how much greed there is, just the few murders committed due to their enclosure of land or robbery of formulas are enough for those people to uproot the Wang family.
Cannot report.
This matter must not be reported!
After listening to Wang Zheng's narration, Wang Zhi and Wang Meng nodded in agreement despite their quarreling.
After all, in front of a group of unrelated human lives, their own lives are obviously more important.
Besides, this is not necessarily a plague...
It's just a pimple disease, nothing to worry about.
After convincing his son and younger brother, Wang Zheng immediately wrote a letter and asked his servants to hand it over to the messenger, so that it could be sent to Su County as quickly as possible.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Wang, that the little one will be delivered to my master as quickly as possible."
The man who delivered the letter, Mr. Wang, thanked the steward of the Wang family for the money and put the letter into his arms.
go back?
I have just received such a large ingot of silver, so I have to go shopping in this prosperous place in the capital to find a kiln girl who suits my taste!
Thinking of this, Wang Captou couldn't help but laugh twice, and then he went straight to Jingcheng East Street while humming a little tune.
But maybe he was riding too fast these past two days and accidentally choked on the wind. He hummed and couldn't help but cough.
That’s all, it’s hard work.
After six or seven days of high fever and ten days of self-cultivation, Empress Dowager Hua, who was so angry at Xiao Xiruo that she couldn't get out of bed, finally recovered.
However, what was waiting for her was that the Hua family suddenly fell from the clouds to the bottom, becoming the mess at the end of the three factions.
But the more this happened, the more she believed what Mo Fan said, saying that Xiao Xiruo must be a monster. If not, how could her Hua family have such a big problem when they met her...
So the first thing she did after she got better was to send Yan Jin'er and Hua Suyi to visit her home in person and invite Taoist Taiqing to come out and talk.
However, what she was waiting for was not Taiqing's coming out of the mountain, but the same prophecy as before. Taiqing even made it clear that a catastrophe had occurred and asked her to be careful in everything.
Hearing this, Empress Dowager Hua felt uneasy. She immediately ordered Hua Qingsong to enter the palace and asked him to report the matter to the court again and tell everyone in the court that Xiao Xiruo was a monster!
If we don't get rid of it, Dayan will suffer disaster!
Has Hua Qingsong played?
Played.
But what did he get?
Probably dozens of big eye rolls.
I have made memorials, rumors and petitions before, but not only did they not come to fruition, I was treated submissively by Xiao Xiruo.
Now Xiao Xiruo not only has the protection of the emperor and the Xiao family, but also has Yao Zhong as a guarantee for saving the people. It can be said that anyone who scolds her is a fool...
Slowly walking down the stone steps of the Jinluan Palace, Hua Qingsong couldn't help but begin to doubt Taiqing's words, thinking that this guy was playing tricks on himself.
However, no one expected that seven days later, several prostitutes would die one after another at Yichun Court on East Street...
There were big sores on the body and bleeding from the seven orifices. Anyone who came into contact with them would invariably get fever and be bedridden. The appearance was terrible...
