The rich and noble peasant daughter

Chapter 274 Unexpected Disaster, Imperial Envoy

Chapter 274 Unexpected Disaster, Imperial Envoy

Everyone is a little fuzzy in their hearts. If Ruan Wenshan got the true biography of the poisonous lady, wouldn't it be very easy to use poison to harm people in the future?Everyone has not forgotten what happened to the guards we saw just now.If it weren't for Shizi Yun who has capable people around him who can detoxify, I'm afraid these few people's lives would not be saved.

One of the women said with a fake smile: "This Miss Ruan is indeed very powerful, and she can easily come up with the right antidote." I couldn't help stepping on it.

But everyone present felt that what she said made sense.There are so many poisons on the Poison Lady, Ruan Wenshan can come up with the antidote for any kind of poison, which shows that she has a lot of medicines on her body.But after all, they are not from the Third Prince's Mansion, and Ruan Wenshan can't get under their heads normally.

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but look at Yang Yeqing and Su Wan sympathetically—these two are the most likely targets.

The third prince, Chu Ling, still had no expression on his face, but the fingers holding the finger were a little bit hard.He had mixed feelings of anger and disgust.

Originally, Chu Ling thought that Ruan Wenshan was a gentle, kind and talented woman, but she treated her differently in her heart.But he never thought that the other party was actually raised by the poisonous lady. He didn't believe that Ruan Wenshan, who carried the antidote anytime and anywhere, didn't know the identity of the poisonous lady.For a vicious and ruthless person like Poison Lady, Ruan Wenshan still chose to protect her and never let her identity be exposed.This obviously doesn't match the kind woman in his impression.

Thinking that he thinks he is very knowledgeable, but he never thought that he was slapped in the face by a woman, which cannot but be said to be a great irony.

At this moment, Chu Ling had no pity for Ruan Wenshan, only disgust.

The servant girl who was sent to guard Ruan Wenshan came back soon, and said respectfully, "My lord, Miss Ruan said that she wants to see the lord." Normally, these servants should call her Ruan side concubine. The basic eyesight of the middle class is not bad.At this time, calling her side concubine would mean stabbing the prince in the heart.

Chu Ling frowned, and said in a cold tone, "I have nothing to say to her, I'm optimistic about her."

At this time, he didn't even want to give Ruan Wenshan the last bit of face.

Yun Xi took Chu Ling's expression into her eyes, and she was very happy with such a development.It is conceivable that even if Ruan Wenshan can stay in the palace in the future, she may not be favored by Chu Ling.

To be honest, even if Ruan Wenshan didn't have those old grievances with her, Yun Xi would not be able to forgive her if she was able to assassinate even children for her own benefit and protect the poisonous lady.It's fine if she doesn't know, since she knows, she can't pretend she didn't see it.

Yun Xi felt that after this incident, Chu Ling wondered if she would have a psychological shadow on Ruan Wenshan, a white lotus type.

A good wedding banquet ended in such a weird atmosphere in a hurry. The guests were calm on the face, but they had big gossip in their hearts, and they were ready to go back to help promote it at any time.Chu Ling had no intention of keeping them, so after drinking symbolically, they dispersed.

Yun Xi and Yun Shen walked out of the palace slowly, and when they looked up, they saw Duoduo, her family, standing beside the carriage.

Yun Xi's eyebrows twitched, so Ming Zuoting helped Duoduo just now?

She stepped forward, intending to whisper something to her sister, so she unceremoniously drove Yun Shen to another carriage.

Dodo frowned tightly, and said: "This time I was negligent, so I almost got caught." Dodo has always been proud of her martial arts, so she doesn't think that the poisonous lady will hurt herself, but the poisonous lady is Using poison, this piece almost suffered a disadvantage.

What made her even more troubled was that the one who saved her was Ming Zuoting, whom she hated very much before.

Dodo is a person with clear grievances and grievances, even if he doesn't like Ming Zuoting, it is a fact that he saved her.She pursed her lips and said, "I will prepare a thank you gift and send it to the Ming Mansion." Then she also talked about something that made her very puzzled, "Speaking of it, the poisonous lady's poison seems to have little effect on Ming Zuoting None."

Obviously Poison Lady also sprinkled things on Ming Zuoting.

Yun Xi said: "Ming Zuoting has been hiding very deeply, so it's not clear that he has some unknown defensive means." This is also a capable person, the entire capital only knows that he is Duanxiu, and knows nothing about his ability .

Dodo blinked and said nothing.She just happened to come here today, but she was unlucky and bumped into the poisonous lady.The poisonous lady also knew that she was Yun Xi's cousin, so before leaving, she wanted to take her anger out on her.

Since the poisonous lady fell into the hands of those people who had enemies with her, one can imagine her fate.

Duoduo asked Yunxi about the Grand View Garden, "By the way, sister, how is the construction of the Grand View Garden going?" The garden has been under construction since last summer, even though Yunxi had prepared a lot of wood and stone in advance. Finally, he also spent 10 taels of silver, which was simply burning money.But this money is still very cost-effective, just like the Grand View Garden created by Yun Xi's brain from watching Dream of Red Mansions. If guests are invited at that time, I don't know how many people will be amazed.

When Yun Xi thought of this, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up in joy, "It's not bad, it's almost finished. I'm going to wait for the next post in April to invite relatives and friends to come and play."

At that time, the weather was relatively pleasant, and there would be no continuous drizzle like these days.

The two sisters chatted with each other, and soon arrived at home.

What happened at the wedding banquet quickly spread as the guests returned.The Ruan family, which took in the poisonous lady, suddenly became the target of public criticism. No one believed that the Ruan family did not know her identity, and scolded them behind their backs.

The Ruan family naturally refused to admit it to death, saying that they were also deceived.Even so, Ruan Wenshan's father was also implicated by this, and was charged with an unknown person, fined half a year's salary, and humiliated once in the capital.

Ruan Wenshan was still under house arrest in the courtyard with several people guarding her.Her misfortune was not limited to this, Chu Xiyuan ordered Ruan Wenshan to be demoted to concubine.Ruan Wenshan's status is worthy of being a concubine, but now she is a concubine. This is indeed a very ironic thing.

Those who have hatred against the poisonous lady don't believe the Ruan family's words. In their eyes, if the Ruan family hadn't protected the poisonous lady, they would have found each other to take revenge.So one night, some people directly removed the silver from the Ruan family's treasury, and used it to rob the rich and help the poor.

The Ruan family was so angry that they couldn't find the murderer. Who let the poisonous lady have enemies all over the world.And after the incident got out, no one sympathized with them, thinking that they did it on their own.Some people also said that those people are grand thieves. Didn't they see that they stole money and used it to help the common people?

Yun Xi could eat an extra bowl of rice listening to the Ruan family's jokes these days.

At the same time, Yinmen also passed on the fate of the poisonous lady.After those people took the poisonous lady away, they found all kinds of poisons from her body, and then poured all the poisons into the poisonous lady's mouth.

There are at least ten kinds of poisons on Poison Lady's body. When these poisons are mixed together, it is unknown what is produced.In the end, the death of the poisonous lady was particularly miserable, half of her body was festered, and her face was completely unrecognizable.She used poison to harm people all her life, and finally died under the poison she created, repaying retaliation.

After Ruan Wenshan was demoted to concubine concubine, the girls of the Ruan family became more and more unable to hold their heads up, and kept a low profile in the capital.A side concubine became vacant in the third prince's mansion, and both the eldest prince and the second prince were stripped of their titles. Only the third prince stood out. In addition, Chu Xiyuan handed over some political affairs to the third prince, so many people followed her The position of the side concubine.

Yun Xi didn't pay much attention to this, and she didn't have any relatives or friends who wanted to marry into the palace, so she just needed to watch the fire from the other side.

……

Soon, everyone was in no mood to talk about Ruan Wenshan.Chu Xiyuan ordered Zhang Peng, the prefect of Huizhou, to be thrown into a prison cell, and his black hat was taken off. The Zhang family ransacked the house directly, and all the female relatives went into the cell together to accompany Zhang Peng.

Yun Xi knew that this was an incident in Huizhou, and the people sent by Chu Xiyuan in private must have seen the real situation in Huizhou and reported the matter to Chu Xiyuan.

Chu Xiyuan had already thrown out all the evidence before the officials who were friends with Zhang Peng pleaded.

Embezzling relief money, food and rice, fabricating false disaster situations, and defrauding money, these crimes are enough to cause Zhang Peng to die [-] times.In the end, Zhang Peng was sentenced to be beheaded, the men of the Zhang family were exiled, and all the female family members were confiscated into the Jiaofang and became lowly.

Officials from the household department confiscated a total of 60 taels of silver from Zhang's house. On the day Zhang Peng was beheaded, many ordinary people threw things at him.Thinking of the disaster relief items being swallowed up by corrupt officials, and how many ordinary people have been harmed, everyone hated him so much.

Many censors impeached the third prince, Chu Ling. After all, it was Chu Ling who recommended Zhang Peng.Some people directly stated that Zhang Peng's corruption was instigated by Chu Ling.

It can be said that Chu Ling's lingering is not good during this time. First, there is a poisonous lady, and then there is Zhang Peng.

Yun Xi could still trust his character in this aspect, and knew that he had just suffered an innocent disaster.

Among them, the first prince and the second prince were undoubtedly the ones who worked together to pull Chu Ling down.The two princes, who had been fighting for more than ten years, temporarily put aside their previous suspicions for the sake of their common enemy.Zhang Peng's crimes were too great, and Chu Ling was also suspended in the end, and was banned by Chu Xiyuan for three months and fined for one year.

After the decree came down, Zhang Yang, Zhang Peng's wife, directly reported to the Yamen that Zhang Peng had an outside room with a son and a daughter under his knees.Now it's all right, Zhang Peng's two remaining bloodlines were not let go, and they were sent to the cell together.

It is said that Zhang Peng was so angry that he slapped Zhang Yangshi on the spot, and kept calling him a poisonous woman.Zhang Yang's family is Yang Yeqing's sister.After being slapped, she smiled instead of anger, and said, "Why is that bitch's child still alive and well after my son dies?"

Li Qiu has never been left behind in this kind of gossip, so he quickly came to gossip with Yun Xi, "The people from the household department copied more than [-] taels of silver from the house in the outer room, and the money was obviously from Zhang Peng. It is specially reserved for their retreat."

"Zhang Yang's son died of illness half a year ago. She found out about the outsider at that time, but Zhang Peng used the excuse that the outsider's hands and feet could not reach the mansion, and protected her. Zhang Yang hated her to death. him."

"Even the people from the household department were able to search out Zhang Peng's carefully hidden silver so quickly. It was Zhang Yang who tipped off the officials of the household department."

Yun Xi was amazed when she heard this, this Yang family is also capable.Zhang Peng was sorry for her, so she retaliated fiercely.

"Ms. Zhang Yang has meritorious service in reporting, so His Majesty is lenient and sent her and her dowry back to the Yang family, so she doesn't have to be a lowly family like other female family members."

Under Chu Xiyuan's iron and blood methods, the Zhang family quickly became history and became a topic of conversation after dinner.

It's just very fast, and everyone is not in the mood to gossip.Although Chu Xiyuan strengthened the embankment of the Qiu River again and again last year, due to the heavy rainfall this year and the thick snow in winter, after the snow melted, it turned into a raging tide... In the end, the flood broke the embankment and wiped out the river. Those low-lying places flooded into rivers.

Thanks to Chu Xiyuan who said this in advance, the nearby residents basically moved to higher places, so the casualties were not too many, which is also a blessing in misfortune.

A series of decrees were issued, and many officials were sent to deal with the floods.

The money for disaster relief was also distributed to various disaster-stricken places. The orderly actions undoubtedly calmed everyone's restless hearts.Because a large sum of money was just stolen from the Zhang family, and people donated money one after another, there is still no shortage of money.

Yun Xi also led those girls to perform two disaster relief performances, and prepared more than 20 taels of silver to send to the household department.

Perhaps in order to learn from Zhang Peng's lesson, an imperial decree came down like this.

Yun Shen and Zhao Wenshu were ordered to inspect the disaster-stricken area. Zhao Wenshu was the imperial envoy, and Yun Shen and Li Si, the right servant of the household department, were both deputy envoys.

Li Si stumbled over Zhang Peng's matter, and this time it was obviously a crime and a meritorious service.As for Yunshen, Yun Xi always felt that he went there after being gilded.

Yun Shen's patrol will take at least three months before returning.Of course Yun Xi wouldn't stay in the capital to wait for her. Anyway, Zhu Zhu was already one year old now, and she was usually in extremely good health. There was no problem with traveling, so Yun Xi planned to take Zhu Zhu and Yun Shen together.

After Dodo knew about it, she also expressed that she wanted to be with her.

Duo Duo said, "In every disaster year, many people in distress will sell their daughters to support their families. Many people will be sold to such dirty places." Many members of the White Clothes Sect were originally He was sold by his family and rescued by the people taught by Baiyi.

Yun Xi understood, this girl was going to liberate the masses.

She nodded, Baiyijiao is developing very well now, especially among the girls at the bottom, several state capitals have their eyeliner, with Duoduo following, it is much easier to find out the news anyway.

Originally, Yun Xi planned to invite everyone to visit the Grand View Garden, but because she was leaving Beijing, she could only rest temporarily and wait until she returned to Beijing.

The imperial envoy team was finally scheduled to officially depart on April [-]th.Yun Xi felt a little regretful, she was afraid that she would miss Yan Ling's son's first birthday party, so she sent a gift in advance.

Although Dai Yanling felt a little regretful, she also knew that it was reasonable, and she just asked her to take care of herself along the way.

Zhuzhu is now one year old and has reached the age of weaning. Now she basically eats porridge, custard, and meat soup for three meals.Unlike other children of the same age who do not want to be weaned, Zhuzhu seems to prefer flavorful food supplements to milk.

If it weren't for this, Yun Xi wouldn't be able to bring her daughter out with confidence.

These days, she is preparing things that she may use when going out at home, and this trip is not short.Essential oils, crispy noodles, various commonly used medicinal materials...these are all necessary.

What bothered her the most was Zhuzhu's rations. Zhuzhu loved Tunzhou tribute rice the most, and Yun Xi directly prepared a stone of Tunzhou tribute rice, which was enough for her to eat for three months.Just in case, a lot of other varieties are also prepared.

What troubled her the most was the bumpy road, not every place is as easy to walk as the official road.

Yun Xi simply made a spring out of it, made of wire, and installed it in the carriage.Yun Yao was very pleasantly surprised when she sat on it, and said with a smile, "It really has stabilized a lot, my sister is really amazing."

If there is a chance, Yun Xi can still find rubber trees. If there are rubber trees, she can get rubber on the wheels.

Yun Xi asked the people below to rush to work overnight to make more carriages with springs.At that time, it can also be distributed to the Zhao family and the Li family.Both Zhao Wenshu and Li Si are older than them, and they have good personalities. Yunxi is very happy with this kind of effort.

After the carriage was ready, Liqiu and Yindan sent it directly to the two families.

After the two came back, they both received gifts from the two families. Yin Dan sighed and said, "Then Mrs. Zhao is also a poor person."

Yun Xi asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

 Today I finally got the house sorted out, hahaha!The update can be resumed tomorrow, everyone!I'm exhausted... I'm going to freeze to death after washing all day today
