Reborn I want to be a giant

Chapter 174 Reasonable, Reasonable and Legal
Ever since the child was found, Zhao Yanran had always been with her, almost never letting him out of her sight.But Zhang Wanqing gradually realized that she was disgusted by Zhao Yanran, and she had to beg to get along with her children for a while.And Zhao Yanran refused to communicate with her, which made her very scared.

At this time, something happened to the Zhang family again, and the Orion Village on the outskirts of Beijing was discovered. Except for the forged weapons, all the private soldiers were also imprisoned.During the period when the Zhang Family and Prince Rui's Mansion were under restraint, Dali Temple quickly completed the interrogation of the persons involved in the case and passed the case to the Heavenly Court.

The couple quarreled many times and broke up unhappy. Zhang Wanqing was devastated, but the crisis of the Zhang family did not end there.Someone released the news that there was indeed a high official in the court who smuggled the contraband of the court through the underground channel, and it was the Zhang family.After the spread of this unsubstantiated rumor, it provided the direction of investigation for those gangs who had been cut off from their sources of income.

Zhang Wanqing was like a chicken without a head, but Zhao Yanran became more and more sober.

"If you ask who caused the culvert to be closed, I'm afraid there will be no results for a year or so. But if you ask whether it is the Zhang family who smuggled the contraband, everyone's eyes will be on the Zhang family. The Zhang family talks a lot. What clues can cover up?" Mother Nine said patiently.

"It's not that the Zhang family has no enemies, but if you look around, how many of them can draw such a bottom line? Apart from the Cheng family brothers and sisters, who else have survived from the Zhang family?" No more than forty, one of Prince Rui's confidantes.

Zhao Yanran only had a quarrel with Zhang Wanqing an hour ago, because the Zhang family's property has been disturbed to varying degrees in recent days and suffered heavy losses.The Jingding yamen is caring, but those are gangs, and smashing them on the surface is inappropriate, but no one is better at such low-handed methods as finding people to pour dirty water, provoke trouble, and induce small stewards to commit crimes.

The gangs funded and cultivated by the Zhang family are too busy to take care of themselves, and they can't play much role at all.The desperate clansmen had no choice but to go to the door of the prime minister's mansion to ask Master Zhang to give an explanation, and if they suffered heavy losses, they would directly slam their account books and demand compensation from them.

"My lord, the Zhang family is being slandered. What Orion Village, what private soldiers? The Zhang family is not surnamed Zhao, and they are all civil servants. What can they do? It must be the ghost of the two bastards of the Cheng family. I'm not letting go of what happened back then."

Zhao Yanran was disturbed by her, "You are usually dignified, virtuous, witty and open-minded, and even my father praised you very much. But now you look at yourself. You keep throwing dirt on others over and over again. Water, isn't the evidence found by the joint investigation of Dali Temple and Daying in the suburbs of Beijing not enough for the Zhang family to restrain themselves?"

"I... you said I splashed dirty water?"

"Zhao Yanran, our Zhang family has done so much for you, now you want to get rid of it?"

Zhao Yanran was very disappointed and regretful, and said with a wry smile: "Which one of these things you Zhang family did I know? For me? Oh, for that position? Unfortunately, I am not interested from the beginning to the end, even if the crown prince is being fought by you. If it falls, it won’t be my turn.”

"I can't do anything about the crimes committed by the Zhang family. If you still want to have a place in Prince Rui's residence, you'd better settle down. Otherwise, not to mention your life, even Han'er's position as the eldest son will be lost." The birth mother made a big mistake Being demoted, unless the biological father no longer marries, the son's position as the eldest son will be taken back in most cases.

Zhang Wanqing was furious, "What do you mean?"

Zhao Yanran was very exhausted, he couldn't remember how long he hadn't had a good night's sleep, "Literally, what your Zhang family did is clear to the emperor, and I'm just like a fool Being deceived by you and doing so many evil things for you almost caused a big mistake."

He wanted to warn her not to trouble the Cheng brothers and sisters again, because neither Cheng Han nor Cheng Fu was easy to deal with.Zhang Wanqing may have a lot of tricks in the inner house, and she is used to buying people's hearts in the powerful circle, but for the brothers and sisters of the Cheng family who were abandoned when they were young and fought all the way, her tricks are not painful.It's a pity that now she is in a daze, and it's useless for him to say anything.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yanran asked Mother Nine: "Do you think this king should ask for this favor for the Zhang family?"

Ninth Mother bowed and whispered: "Is it useful to ask?"

Zhao Yanran shook her head with a wry smile, the answer was self-evident.

Cheng Jia
Xu Ye's head injury has not healed yet, not only the little girl is not allowed to let go, but the emperor also issued an order to let him recover from his injury.So he has nothing to do every day except eat, drink and lie down.On the contrary, the little girl was afraid that he would be bored, so she made fun of him in different ways, and went home to accompany him after finishing her business in the business.

On the other hand, Xu Ze got a vacation, and the Cheng family visited him every day, and Xu Xiaoba was also brought along.

"Did you tell the auntie?" In fact, the father and son didn't care much about this injury, but Cheng Fu took it as a big deal, and was so nervous every day that both Cheng and Xu became cautious.

Xu Qian held in his hand the small cage that Cheng's gardener wove for him out of dead branches, and he hadn't decided what to put in it yet.

"Don't worry, Sixth Brother, my mother heard that Fifth Uncle took me, she was too happy, so she didn't ask, and I didn't tell me." Every day I had fun at Cheng's house, and I couldn't think of leaving.

It was sunny today, and the two brothers were basking in the winter sun on the grassy slope. Xu Xiaoba looked at Xu Ye who was acting as usual, "How long will it take for your injury to heal, Brother Six?"

"No problem." Xu Ye was absent-minded.

Recently, I always feel that I am fat, which is not a good thing.If you are fat, you will look bloated and old.He thought that this face was the only thing he could get his hands on, if the little girl thought he was ugly, what would she do if she didn't want him?After all, this woman is surrounded by one-in-a-million men.

Xu Xiaoba didn't know what he was thinking, "Aren't you going to go home in the future?" The Cheng family doesn't look like much from the outside, but it occupies a large area and the inside is also very luxurious. In addition, the brothers and sisters of the Cheng family have no elders, so Xu Xiaoba Ba thinks that living here should be more comfortable than living in Xu's house.

Xu Ye touched the scabbed and itchy wound, "Where is she, I am."

Xu Xiaoba blinked, "Can I follow you?"

Xu Ye threw a few fish food into the small pond, "Your parents will be sad." Pang's own children either went out to study or got married and left the house. Now only Xu Xiaoba is by his side, and one day Xu Xiaoba will also grow up.

The two brothers chatted without saying a word. Two nuns appeared on the path on the lawn. After saluting them, they hurried to the big study.Seeing these two people, Xu Ye knew that trouble was coming.They are all nuns who support the front yard. They are good-looking, well-educated, knowledgeable and well-spoken, and very clever. After Cheng Han handed over the front yard to them, he really relieved his worries a lot.

"... She brought a mother and daughter over, and she won't leave unless she sees you."

Cheng Fu went to Lianghexuan early this morning, and the meat and paper products were not well-known in the capital, so they were welcomed.The supply is so low that unnecessary gossip has already begun.Cheng Fu asked Song Xinyi to prepare the post and hold an explanation meeting after the year.As for expanding the breeding farm, she has no idea for the time being, and plans to discuss and decide after Wu Ying goes to Beijing.

Cheng Han is studying at home today, drying books, washing the cat, and checking the family's income and expenditure account books by the way, there are many things.

Looking at the magnificent welcoming hall, Chen Mengling was a little dazed, and couldn't remember how long it had been since she had been in or out of such a place.

In the past in the Chen family and the Gu family, she was rich and precious, and she had what she wanted, so she never cared about these things.Since she couldn't go back to Chen's house, she never experienced this kind of life again.

The Chen family took back part of the dowry brought back from the Gu family, and the rest belonged to her, which was more than enough to keep her face.However, in just a few years, not to mention property, even the nanny who grew up with her was sold.

That's why she would show up at Cheng's house today, asking for money from her children who had been abandoned by her for many years.

Cheng Han walked in with his hands behind his back, glanced at the few people in the hall, and sat down on the main seat. The little maid quickly served him hot tea and snacks.

Chen Mengling was a little surprised, she almost blurted out "You've grown so big" with her mouth open.It's really that Cheng Han's current appearance is far from the impression in her mind. She thought Cheng Han was still a white and tender baby.

The young man in front of him has long faded from his immaturity, and his body exudes a maturity and alienation that does not match his age.If he still had a background in Liang Guogong's mansion, he must have been reused early because of his shelter, why bother to study hard and strive for fame.

"Master, this is Yuyang County Lord, and these two are Madam Luo and Miss Luo." Mammy introduced.

Cheng Han casually made a gesture of invitation, "Sit."

……

Under the foundation of Gao Sheng and the development of Qianshan, the operation of Chengjia Commercial Bank is very smooth.As for Lianghexuan, Song Xinyi has tasted all the bitterness and bitterness in the capital in the past few years, and has survived the difficult early stage, and now he is more and more handy.Because of them, Cheng Fu has a feeling that she and Wu Ying will be able to retire in a few years.

One day, she would take Xu Liu, Wu Ying, Wen Xiang Wen Yu Jiu Jiu and the others to travel.

As for the little brother, he has his own vast world.

"Wu Ying will go to Beijing after the new year, he must be more willing to listen to your complaints than I am." Cheng Fu's ears were callused when he heard Song Xin's bitterness.

Sure enough, the capital city is different from Jinling, which was not the case before Song Daguan.

"That's good, only men understand men." Song Xinyi wished that Wu Ying would appear soon.

Cheng Fu laughed, "Why doesn't Lu Qing understand you?"

Song Xin was at a loss for words.

"If you don't like Lu Qing, I can change his contract to a tavern?" Cheng's firm is always short of talents.

"Don't, I'm talking about it, I was wrong." Song Xin was aggrieved.

Lu Qing, who was standing next to him, listened to the conversation between the two, and felt his ears get bored, like this every day.But he understood Song Guanshi very well, he was just joking around, talking to his boss, just to make her happy.

It was no surprise that Cheng Fu learned that Chen Mengling had brought someone to the Cheng family on the way home.

"He went back?"

"No, I was crying just now." Wen Yu thought of the people in the front yard as uncomfortable as if they had eaten flies, "But the young master ordered the slaves to stop you no matter what."

Cheng Fu originally wanted to go to the front yard to have a look, but stopped when he heard what the other party said, "In that case, go and listen, and tell me what they said later."

"Yes." Wen Yu replied, and trotted away.

Cheng Fu looked at the sky and asked Luo Xing who was always inseparable, "Master Luo, what kind of people are your parents?"

"Short-lived people."

Cheng Fu turned to face him, tilted her head and asked, "Then have you thought about doing something for them?"

Luo Xing glanced at her in disgust, "No matter how filial a person is after death, it's just a living person who is guilty and afraid of retribution."

"It makes sense."

Luo Xing felt that she suddenly asked this question very suspiciously, "Speaking of which, what does my father and mother have to do with that county lord's visit? Don't you want to ignore the past and continue the mother-daughter relationship? Miss, don't let me look down on you. "

The corners of Cheng Fu's mouth curled up, "If that's the case, what have I been trying to do all these years?"

Luo Xing hummed, "It's good that you know."

As soon as the guests left, Cheng Han went back to the big study and briefly explained to his sister, then took Zhaohui out to Wuyifang.Wen Yu recounted to Cheng Fu verbatim what she heard in the front yard.

Chen Mengling stuffed all her property into the hole that Luo Tingfeng owed, and now she has only a crippled woman who cannot be sold to serve her, and there are few decent clothes and jewelry, not much better than those ordinary village women.

When she saw Cheng Han, she didn't inquire about his relatives, didn't have a trace of guilt, and didn't even show any courtesy. She straight to the point asked Cheng Han to give her half of the Cheng family's property.She specifically named the taverns in the capital, saying that Jinling was far away, and she couldn't take care of them. The brothers and sisters were still in charge of the property there, and we'll talk about it later.In addition, she also wanted [-]% of the shares in Lianghexuan in the capital, and vacated five positions for her, and she arranged for people to go in.

As for Mrs. Luo and Ms. Luo who were traveling with her, when she heard Yu mentioning these two people, she stomped her feet angrily.

Knowing that Cheng Han is Duke Xie Yuan, with unparalleled looks and rich family background, Mrs. Luo asked Chen Mengling to facilitate the marriage between Miss Luo and Cheng Han, so that she would not mind Chen Mengling's affair with Luo Tingfeng, and allowed them to continue their relationship.Luo Tingfeng also told Chen Mengling that it would be better to get closer. Chen Mengling took his words as an imperial decree, but she didn't think it was inappropriate, so she brought Luo Tingfeng's wife and daughter to the door of Cheng's house.

After meeting Cheng Han, Mrs. Luo and Miss Luo were even more satisfied, as if Cheng Han was already the son-in-law of the Luo family.

"The young master only said that he knew, and asked them to go back and wait for the news."

Cheng Fu didn't turn the corner for a while, "What news are you waiting for? Could it be that he still wants to respond?" I beat him to death.

"...Slave guesses, the young master might want to do it." Cheng Han was smiling at the time, but no one with a little discernment would think it was a friendly look.

At this time Xu Ye led Xu Qian in, Cheng Fu stared at Xu Qian's hand, Xu Xiaoba felt murderous, and immediately let go, Cheng Fu was satisfied, and skipped over to hold Xu Ye's arm, as if regaining the territory He raised his chin as if arrogantly at Xu Xiaoba.

"What did you do today?"

Xu Ye looked back at the wronged Xu Xiaoba, suppressed a smile, and said to the little girl, "Bask in the sun."

Xu Xiaoba was aggrieved for a moment, and soon entangled Luo Xing heartlessly, asking him to teach him moves.

Wuyifang

Cheng Han was very concerned about beating up Cheng Fu's jailer in the prison of Jingding Yamen.It's just that when Ye Xiaobei caught the opponent, he had already been promoted to work as a supervisor in the quarry.It sounds like a promotion, but anyone who knows a thing or two about quarries knows that this is where the misery begins.

"I just took office yesterday, but I broke my legs in the evening and was carried back." Ye Xiaobei personally went to the quarry and witnessed the tricks of those old criminals.

New to take care of, this supervisor's injury will not heal within half a year.The old supervisors vowed that they would find out who did it for him, and vent their anger on him with stoning.

"He has to suffer." This person doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, and if he is placed in a very vicious place, what results he will get is quite exciting.But Ye Xiaobei thinks that this person is not smart enough, he either died in the quarry or couldn't bear to go home to farm.

Cheng Han wondered, "How did he get to the quarry?" Someone actually made a move earlier.

"The Shangguan of the Ministry of Industry said that next year's fortifications in the suburbs of Beijing will use a lot of materials, and the current amount cannot keep up. He asked the Ministry of Households to allocate money to levy labor. The Metropolitan Procuratorate has been overwhelmed by Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment in the past six months, and is eager to earn some credit. During the Chinese New Year, it was said that the quarry supervisor was lax, and the problem must be there, and they wanted to intervene. The people from the Ministry of Industry didn't care, as long as they could produce the quantity, they didn't care about anything else.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate was afraid that Xu Jiancheng, who was also a senior official in Dali Temple, would be in trouble, so he bypassed him and asked the emperor for orders.In short, the Metropolitan Procuratorate finally got the job, tidied up and down the quarry, and re-established the rules. Those who were clearly dereliction of duty were sent to prison, and many positions were vacated at once. "

Ye Xiaobei took a sip of water, and continued: "People in the Metropolitan Procuratorate don't want to sell their official positions openly, and hypocritically recruit people from various yamen. Those who have been checked will not be so strict in the school examination, and those who have not been checked are naturally hopeless. .”

Having said that, there is no need to continue.The young jailer who used to fight against Cheng Fu in the prison of Jingding Yamen, someone helped him to "take care of it", so he was promoted smoothly and became one of the supervisors of the quarry.

Apart from Xu Ye, Cheng Han couldn't think of another person to put someone to death in such a "reasonable, reasonable and legal" way.

"Is there any news about Yun Jue?" Don't worry about the jailer.

Yu Suqiu, who was busy at the counter, popped up, "She was not suspected, but she just wanted to leave Prince Rui and come to...to your side..."

Yun Jue's appearance appeared in front of Cheng Han's eyes... He likes to wear pure white dresses, he is obviously older than Zhao Yanran, and he does not show his age because he loves his appearance.Back then, many princes and clan relatives in the palace appreciated her, and her heart was raised.The former empress noticed that she had signs of affection for the crown prince, and thought that her intentions were not righteous, and when Prince Rui was about to leave the palace to establish a mansion, she was rewarded to Prince Rui, which was regarded as an expedient measure.

Zhao Yanran didn't like her, she took people in and used her, but she didn't give her a title, so far she is still a housewife with the name of a female official in Prince Rui's residence.In the early years, Zhao Yanran wanted to give her a way out, and men other than the prince let her choose.She made a careful comparison, and the Seventh Prince was the most ideal place to go, but at that time Zhao Yanjin was still young, and Concubine Zhu Xian watched closely. She was afraid that she would not get any benefits under the opponent's hands, so she retreated and chose the third prince Zhao. Yan years old.

But before she could figure it out, Zhao Yanran was "crippled" by Min Qinyue, and then Zhang Wanqing entered the mansion, and in order to show face to outsiders, she didn't send her away.In order to prevent Zhao Yanran from forgetting herself, Yun Jue worked hard to become a capable female officer beside Zhang Wanqing.

"Tomorrow night, let her go to the pier."

There is a pier behind Wuyifang. Because the steps are seriously damaged and the government does not repair it, there are almost no ships to release passengers or unload goods here, so there are not many people.

　Happy New Year, keep warm and wear a mask when going out
