Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 170 Find someone who can call the shots

Naturally, Wang Mang instructed Lu Yuan to release these rumors, which is what Zhao Zifan meant.

Zhao Zifan's idea was that even if Zhao Si could not be killed, Zhao Si's name should be completely stigmatized. Zhao Zifan absolutely did not allow Zhao Si to have any hope of inheriting the Zhao family's position.

Therefore, Zhao Zifan asked Zhao Si to just pour the dirty water on the Du family's extermination case, which is also the basis for the cooperation between the two parties.

In the residence of the Zhao family, Zhao Zhiheng looked at Zhao Zifan with a gloomy face, and said in a low voice, "Sir, don't you have anything to explain?"

"Explain what?" Zhao Zifan looked calm.

"Rumors on the street outside." Zhao Zhiheng narrowed his eyes.

"Rumors on the street? Are you talking about the fourth child?" Zhao Zifan said.

"What do you think I said?" Zhao Zhiheng looked at Zhao Zifan.

"What does that have to do with me?" Zhao Zifan said indifferently: "I didn't do this thing, you can find whoever did it."

"Do you dare to say that it has nothing to do with you?" Zhao Zhiheng looked at Zhao Zifan firmly, and said, "These rumors began to spread in Xinyang City after you left the county government."

"Second brother, you are chasing after the wind and shadows!" Zhao Zifan's face turned cold, and he said, "Others don't know, how can you not know, I went to the county government to prevent Lu Yuan from putting the principals of our family in Xinyang under house arrest. Yes, in fact, I succeeded. I bowed my head to Lu Yuan. Splash dirty water on yourself!"

Zhao Zhiheng was in a hurry, and he thought to himself, who doesn't know that you, Zhao Laosan, are a famous big idiot, and you have always been defiant. You can bow your head to Lu Yuan, and you can persuade Lu Yuan to let go of the four principals?If you really have this ability, you won't go to the county government just because I provoke you.

But Zhao Zhiheng could only keep these words in his heart instead of saying them out, otherwise the brothers would really fall out.

The four major principals looked at the Zhao brothers' tearing up one by one expressionlessly, and no one said anything, but they agreed with Zhao Zifan on one point in their hearts, that is, after Zhao Zifan went to the county government, the original county government told them Calling Bento never happened.

The Zhao family brothers had different thoughts here, while Wang Mang looked at Sister Hua with a half-smile.

Sister Hua was directly summoned to the county government by Wang Mang's order. He had no reason to look for Hua Mingyue, but he still had a good reason to look for Sister Hua.

And the reason is very good, Wang Mang said directly: "Sister Hua, I didn't take Yan Hao's matter seriously before, but now someone has reported to me that Wang Wengui's escape is related to your Huafang, so I have no choice but to report through Mr. Lu. His mouth summoned you."

Lu Yuan nodded at the side and said: "Sister Hua, what should I say, what should I not say, there are no outsiders here, so let's talk to Wang Butou from Six Doors."

Sister Hua has no expression on her face, but her heart is tense. She is a person in the scene, and she has a lot of dealings with officials. She knows that most of the officials are smiling. If you talk to you politely, there is definitely a problem. The more polite you are, It means that the other party wants more.

After thinking about it in her mind, Sister Hua respectfully said: "My lords, Wang Wengui, Minnv knows about it, but it's only limited to business contacts. Minnv really doesn't know about other things."

"Then you mean that someone has falsely accused you?" Wang Mang's eyelids moved.

"My lord, it's definitely a false accusation!" Sister Hua said with a smile: "Who doesn't know that our boats are the most trustworthy, and we will never..."

Sister Hua was about to say something, but when she looked at Wang Mang's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, she suddenly stopped. Only then did she realize that their so-called Xinyang of painting boats had already failed in front of Wang Mang.

Huafang may brag about their reputation with other people, but they must not brag about their reputation with Wang Mang.

Wang Mang waved his hand and said, "Sister Hua, don't be so cautious. I have already said it before. I don't care about Yan Hao's matter. You don't have to care so much. You can continue to talk about what you have to say."

"Minister..." Elder Sister Hua thought for a long time, bit her lips, took a deep breath, raised her head and said: "My lords, women of the people know very well the reason why the people don't fight with the officials, the lords are looking for the women of the people, Probably not because of Wang Wengui's affairs."

"It's still about Wang Wengui's affairs." Wang Mang said with a smile: "Whether Xinyang, the imperial court, or Nanyang, everything that has happened so far has a lot to do with Wang Wengui's escape from Xinyang. Up to now, the relationship with Wang Wengui is not that great, but the person who tied the bell still needs to be untied. I still need to figure out Wang Wengui's escape. Sister Hua is the person in charge of Huafang in Xinyang, so don't tell me that you don't know anything. have no idea."

Lu Yuan echoed: "Sister Hua, you know what kind of business Huafang is doing in Xinyang, and I know it too. There are some things that I don't want to explain too clearly."

"This..." Sister Hua frowned, she now fully understood that what Wang Wengui said was just an excuse, she was looking for trouble, and even Lu Yuan was threatening him.

Sister Hua understands that although Wang Wengui's fleeing to Xinyang had nothing to do with their Huafang, they had a close relationship with them before he fled. It provided some convenience for Wang Wengui to escape from Xinyang.

But she can't say anything about these things. After all, this matter has become a big deal now. The four major families that dominate Nanyang have never dared to offend them for so many years. The understanding of the characters of these two people in front of them is also a little bit confusing for the two young masters who came to Xinyang again.

If she really admits this matter, Sister Hua will never think that Wang Mang or Lu Yuan will really let her go as promised. He has seen a lot of officials turning their backs and denying their account.

Sister Hua didn't speak, but Wang Mang couldn't let her just stay silent so easily. After a while, he said again: "Sister Hua, it seems that you are not the one who can call the shots, so find someone who can call the shots!"

"Huh?" Sister Hua was surprised.

"For example, your boss Hua Mingyue?" Wang Mang said with a smile, "It seems that she hasn't left Xinyang yet?"

"Ah?" Sister Hua was startled, Hua Mingyue did not leave Xinyang, but this matter was hidden, how did Wang Mang know.

"Looking at your expression, isn't Hua Mingyue in charge?" Wang Mang showed a clear expression on his face, and said, "By the way, I heard that a nobleman from your painting boat came to Xinyang recently, it seems that this The noble person who hides his face is the head of your Huafang in Xinyang?"

"Ah?" Hua Dajie looked shocked, stood up straight away, and said loudly: "Who leaked the news? No more than five people in the entire Huafang know about this matter, how could you know?"

"Hehe." Wang Mang said with a smile: "How did I know, you don't have to worry about it, just go find the master!"

"..." Sister Hua.

Lu Yuan said on the side: "Don't think about leaving, the official has ordered the four gates to be sealed off, and there are many yamen servants around your painting boat. If there is any trouble, Xinyang painting boat doesn't need to exist."
