When the two people screamed the most miserably, Minglan covered her eyes with her sleeves, pretending that she couldn't bear to look directly, and walked in: "Madam, my grandmother sent me to ask what happened at home.
Such a big movement?"
Minglan's house fighting rank has already revealed some clues. Seeing Lin Zongshuang being beaten, she was obviously very happy, but she also looked like she couldn't bear to see it.
"I'll go explain to grandma." Sheng Changbai Mansion said to Minglan.
Here, Wang Ruofu beat Lin Zongshuang and Chang Feng, which is basically the end. The next step is just to repeat it a few times, and it is impossible to beat them to any good.
Wang Ruofu was not ruthless enough, and the lesson he taught Lin Zongshuang was not as harsh as the lesson Gu Yan had taught Gu Tingye, his son.
"You go ahead. After you go, explain to the old lady what these two did." Wang Ruofu waved his hand and said.
"...Grandma, that's what happened. My father was a bit unlucky. He was regarded as a target of power by the officials and stayed in the palace."
The emperors of the feudal dynasty seemed to have centralized power, but they were far from being able to do whatever they wanted. Especially the old emperors of the current dynasty who hoped to become a wise emperor were even more constrained.
The old emperor was just like ordinary people, bullying the weak and fearing the strong. The court was full of princes and ministers who were clamoring and urging the old emperor to appoint a heir as soon as possible. The emperor couldn't control it.
Sheng Hong, an honest man in the officialdom, was chosen to establish his authority.
The fifth-grade rank is in the middle of the nine-grade official system. The official position is not too low. This position has touched the floor of middle- and high-ranking officials.
I work in the Ministry of Industry, and my job is a casual job. Punishing me is not a big deal.
It happened that during this period of time, Sheng Changfeng was in a bad mood because he had failed in the examination. He was very anxious outside. He wanted to curry favor with the retainers of King Yan, so he took the shortcut of Conglong and entered the official career. He drank wine and flattered King Yan outside all day long, and this showed up.
The old emperor was in a very embarrassed position being forced by his ministers in the court. If he wanted to resist, Sheng Hong became the best candidate to establish his authority.
"Changbai, since the official wants to use our family to establish prestige, then our family must cooperate with the official and make a strong impression. Although the official is a benevolent and righteous king, it is not impossible to be dissatisfied and angry.
Dispose of your father."
An old lady is still an old lady. She has not eaten salt for so many years in vain, and she knows the importance of it.
When Wang Ruofu was thinking about how to clean up Lin Qige, the old lady was already thinking about things outside.
"My grandson understands that he will go out to the old homes of his relatives and friends and ask people to go to the palace to find out about his father and plead for his father. We must let this matter spread to the homes of all the noble officials in Bianjing."
The old emperor wants to establish his authority, so of course the Sheng family must cooperate with the old emperor and perform this play well.
The momentum should be as loud as possible, so that everyone with sufficient status will know that Sheng Hong has angered the old emperor.
When others know the reason why Sheng Hong was imprisoned, they can also understand the emperor's unwillingness to be forced to establish a heir apparent.
Let people understand that after the emperor is angered, he will also jump over the wall to intimidate his ministers.
If he really did not cooperate with the emperor's performance, Sheng Hong would have been locked up in the palace and could not go home, and the Sheng family would still be sitting on the Diaoyutai.
The emperor could not achieve the effect of establishing authority, so he could only really punish Sheng Hong to achieve the effect of establishing authority.
Sheng Hong would inevitably be relegated to some remote and poor place to eat dirt.
...
"Shibo, something bad happened. My father was left in the palace by the officials and he has not returned yet."
"Yuanruo, I have no choice but to ask you for help..."
"Brother Zhang, I'm here to ask for help. I would like to ask my uncle to..."
Next, Sheng Changbai was running around the whole Bianjing city, galloping on horseback, and went to various old homes of the Sheng family to ask for help.
Before it got dark at night, Sheng Changbai visited more than a dozen companies, and they were all carefully selected by Sheng Changbai.
That is, by department and home address, try to spread the news as widely as possible.
Because of the horse riding in the busy city, Sheng Changbai alerted all the guards in Kaifeng Mansion, and the commotion was definitely getting louder.
The next day, Sheng Changbai also directly took leave at home, and continued to build relationships, find connections, inquire about information, and find people who could talk to the emperor to enter the palace to convey love.
Just to tell the emperor that the Sheng family had finished cooperating with the performance, the Sheng family was very scared and panicked, and made a lot of noise.
The play is almost over. If the Emperor is satisfied, you can put Sheng Hong back.
"Changbai, have you found any specific information about where your father is being held by the officials and when he will be released back home?"
When Sheng Changbai returned home after a long trip, he was greeted by Hua Lan.
"Sister, Princess Pingning has already said something. My father is still fine now. You don't need to get too angry."
Seeing that Hua Lan had returned to the Sheng family, the news had already spread to Uncle Zhongqin's mansion on the edge of the court.
Sheng Changbai also knew that this commotion had almost reached its peak.
In the afternoon, Sheng Changbai stayed at home to rest.
There was no one in the entire Sheng family to take care of things. If something happened to Sheng Hong, the only person who could take care of things was Sheng Changbai.
From the afternoon of the previous day to the noon of the next day, Sheng Changbai was very tired from all the hard work.
My body is not very tired, but my mind is still quite tired after having acted in such a big drama.
After returning home, Sheng Changbai was actually not very relaxed.
He needs to accompany Hua Lan to comfort the fragile Wang Ruofu.
The day before, Wang Ruofu was still thinking about taking care of Lin Zoshuang.
After last night, Sheng Hong was left in the palace and did not return all night.
Wang Ruofu was completely panicked and scared. He was thinking about the various punishments Sheng Hong might receive, which had scared him.
"Auntie, Brother Bai, is there any news about uncle?"
By the time the clock struck in the afternoon, around four o'clock, Chang Wu also arrived at Sheng's house.
Changwu, a junior official in the imperial army, knew that Sheng Hong was detained by the officials, which is enough to show that everyone in Bianjing City who should know about it can be said to know about it.
Last year, Changwu participated in the martial arts examination and passed the martial arts examination through Sheng Hong's recommendation.
After some activities that were not too difficult, Chang Wu was not assigned to a place and stayed in the imperial army stationed in Bianjing.
"Brother Wu, please sit down and have a cup of tea first. We are also waiting for news about father. The official family has kept father in the palace for two days. I think no matter what, there should be a result." Sheng Changbai replied. .
After adding Chang Wu to the family, there was still no change. That is to say, in the lobby of Wei Ruixuan, there was another person waiting for news about Sheng Hong.
Sheng Changbai also briefly chatted with Chang Wu.
Changwu usually spends holidays at the second house, and Sheng Changbai is quite familiar with Changwu's situation.
The three years of living in Bianjing have been relatively smooth for Changwu.
After practicing hard on horseback and archery, and learning the art of war, Chang Wu has been living like this since he came to Beijing.
What is rare is that Chang Wu has a clear goal and is not lost in the colorful world of Bianliang.
Changwu rarely went to places like the Goulanwashe, not to mention the brothel and Chuguan.
After studying martial arts for two years, I have achieved some success and got what I wanted. I passed the martial arts examination and entered the officialdom.
Although the status of Wu Jinshi is far lower than that of Wen Jinshi, being an official is definitely better than being a civilian.
The big house can be regarded as changing its lintel, from the home of merchants to the home of officials and gentry.
After joining the Forbidden Army, Chang Wu did not let himself go. He continued to practice martial arts and study to improve himself.
In the context of having a big family and a wealthy family, and being able to enjoy life easily, Chang Wu, the rich second generation, is really very motivated.
Changfeng's problem now is to find a suitable in-law to help him in his career.
Uncle Wei had already entrusted this matter to Sheng Hong when he went to Beijing before the Spring Festival.
The children of the Sheng family have all followed this path. From the time when Sheng Lao Tanhua came to Sheng Changbai, three generations have done this.
It is also because three generations in a row have found capable Yue family that the Sheng family is in its current situation.
A good situation is that Sheng Changbai passed the Jinshi exam three years earlier, which caused the butterfly effect.
The Sheng family rejected the Kang family's marriage early enough, and Chang Wu had not yet entered Beijing.
Therefore, no one mentioned that Aunt Kang's eldest daughter Kang Yun'er married Chang Wu.
Although YoonA is born in mud, she is not stained, she is a good girl.
But when Yoona marries Changwu, the Shengkang family becomes even more confused.
Sheng Changbai didn't want his family to have any contact with the Kang family, and of course he didn't want Dafang to marry into the Kang family.
On the basis of Changwu's passing the martial arts examination, his large family fortune, and the background of his second wife.
It would not be difficult for Chang Wu to marry the daughter of a mid- to high-level military attache, and everything would be smoother for him.
There is absolutely no need to get involved with the Kang family, which is already declining.
As for Yoona, she is a good girl. As long as she marries a good person, she will not have trouble living a good life.
…
"Madam, the master is back!"
It was not until late in the evening that Sheng Hong was finally released home by the old emperor.
"Has the Lord come back? Where are the people?" Wang Ruofu was overjoyed at first, then looked at the female envoy who reported the news and asked.
"After the master came back, he went to the Shou'an Hall to say hello to the old lady." The female envoy replied: "The master sent someone here to report that you are safe first, so that the lady will not be anxious."
No matter what he thinks about the old lady in his heart, Sheng Hong does as well as Sheng Changbai in terms of filial piety on the surface.
This time something happened outside. The first thing I did after returning home was to tell the worried old lady that I was safe and apologize.
"Let's go to Shou'an Hall." Wang Ruofu hurriedly pulled Hua Lan and Ru Lan rushed out.
Although the two of them had an arranged marriage and Sheng Hong was not very kind to Wang Ruofu, Wang Ruofu still had great feelings for Sheng Hong.
"Let's go to Shou'an Hall." Sheng Changbai, who was following behind, ordered: "Mother Liu, go get the hot water and arrange meals. My father has not been back for two days and one night. It is inevitable that he will need to wash up and eat after he comes back."
Sheng Changbai gave instructions, and he and Chang Wu arrived at the Shou'an Hall a few steps late.
Mrs. Sheng had already released Sheng Hong compassionately.
The fact that Sheng Hong has been so successful in being a filial son for so many years has a lot to do with the old lady's understanding and never making things difficult for Sheng Hong.
Looking at Sheng Hong's weak appearance, one knew that Sheng Hong had not been feeling well for the past two days and one night in the palace, and he obviously needed to rest.
Chang Wu was also very understanding of human nature. After paying homage to Sheng Hong, he left the second room.
Sheng Changbai also left Wei Ruixuan, leaving Sheng Hong to wash up, change clothes, and eat.
Being imprisoned by the old emperor for two days and one night, without eating, drinking, or defecating, was enough for Sheng Hong.
This also allowed Sheng Hong to experience firsthand the consequences of pampering Sheng Changfeng.
Civilization has advanced so much in later generations, but there are so many cheating sons.
In this feudal society that emphasizes involvement, it will be easier for a son to cheat his father.
Let Sheng Hong suffer a loss once, and he can make up his mind to correct the family tradition of the Sheng family and educate his children well.
Although Sheng Hong usually likes to act like a strict father, he is really far from being strict with his children.
Except when Sheng Hong targets Ru Lan, he punishes her more, which is because Ru Lan is too stubborn.
When Chang Feng, Mo Lan and the like made mistakes, it was always Lin Zongshuang who coaxed Sheng Hong with a few words, shed a few tears, pretended to be weak, pretended to be pitiful, and then casually fooled them through.
In this way, the children of the Sheng family have been accustomed to have no fear in their hearts, and they will be able to do no matter how outrageous things they do in the future.
...
When he left, Sheng Changbai did not go to the back house. Sheng Hong punished Chang Feng for causing trouble, and Lin Zongshuang for lax discipline, but it was impossible to punish them as badly.
The two of them had just been punished by Wang Ruofu yesterday. If Sheng Hong was asked to punish two more people today, Sheng Hong might not be able to do it.
"Changbai, eldest sister is going back to the Earl's Mansion. I came here to say goodbye to you. I came back in a hurry this time and had father's affairs, so I didn't say a few words to you?"
Hualan was about to leave, and Sheng Changbai came over and said goodbye.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Sister, did the Earl's Palace send someone to urge you to go back?" After watching Hua Lan acquiesce, Sheng Changbai continued: "Their family is really greedy. , it’s getting more and more excessive. Sister, please bear with me for a while, I will deal with this matter as soon as possible."
Before being transferred from Bianliang, Sheng Changbai must completely resolve Hualan's matter.
The family urged Hua Lan to go back because they wanted Hua Lan to go back and spend money to pay for the family's various expenses in the past two days.
Mrs. Zhongqinbo is becoming more and more bold and greedy.
In the past, when Uncle Zhongqin was too greedy, Sheng Changbai urged Sheng Hong to remind Uncle Zhongqin that if he restrained his wife, she could survive half a year.
After that, it was five months, then three months, and now I have been warned that Mrs. Zhongqinbo can't even last two months.
Uncle Zhongqin is indeed not very good, and he really can't control his wife.
Uncle Zhongqin taught his daughter-in-law a few simple words of scolding. If he scolded her too much, her daughter-in-law would become resistant and her words would become less and less forceful.
If Sheng Changbai still stays in Bianjing, he wouldn't mind continuing to mess around with Mrs. Zhongqinbo.
Until Sheng Hong was completely disappointed that Uncle Zhongqin and his wife could treat Hualan well, and asked Sheng Hong to come forward and find someone to give Uncle Zhongqin a concubine, so that the concubine could have a house fight with Mrs. Zhongqin.
Now that we can't wait until that time, only Sheng Changbai himself can step forward to handle this matter.
In the past, I only relied on Sheng Hong because Sheng Changbai didn't have enough connections, but now Sheng Changbai himself has connections and can operate.
It's not a big problem, after all, giving away a concubine is considered an elegant thing in this feudal era.
Even if Sheng Changbai was exposed, it was just a little embarrassing because of his seniority.
