Princess Fuyao

Chapter 57 Yao Guangyu's Evil
Fuyao made some inquiries, and he knew what happened nine years ago that made Yao Guangyu panic.

When he was governor of Zhongzhou, he colluded with local salt merchants to buy and sell private salt.Nominally, he raised money for Jinshang through King Fu, but he also made a lot of money himself. There was another thing that made him shudder. In the name of a beauty pageant, she was forcibly taken into the mansion. Who would have thought that the girl died inexplicably before he had time to get close to her.He suspected that it was his wife who did it. Since then, the couple have been inseparable.

Fearing that the matter would be revealed, he drove the small businessman to ruin.

Nine years ago, a man who claimed to be the girl's uncle voted for the first prize in front of his successor, Ren Qingming.

A month later, Ren Qingming went to Beijing with the people who complained, but on the way, the boat he was on sank in the river and died, and the matter was over.

After listening to Fuyao's report, Mr. Hong thumped the table angrily. At that time, he had already taken office in Dali Temple, but he had no evidence and no one to sue. What can he do to Yao Guangyu?
Seeing that he was able to get something out of the servant's mouth, Master Hong regained his spirits. After repeated interrogations, he found out many evil things about Yao Guangyu, including his embezzlement of grain and grass in northern Xinjiang.

The Holy One was furious and ordered the Yao Mansion to be seized.

The result was surprising. Yao Guangyu's family property was far from the amount he had embezzled and accepted bribes. He could see clearly his daily living expenses, so it was impossible for him to spend so much.

He is actually no richer than officials of the same level as him in the capital. His family has some, and other people's families have almost as well. Where does the money from corruption go?Not to mention anything else, the food and grass in northern Xinjiang alone is not a small amount.

"Your Majesty, Yao Guangyu has committed so many crimes, how could he hide it from everyone? In private, he must have given bribes to other officials, otherwise, he would not have concealed it until today."

"Then what is he plotting?"

"This is called drinking poison to quench thirst. At this point, it seems that he can't help himself not to be greedy."

The emperor was speechless, the money that Yao Guangyu corrupted at the beginning was said to be spent for his superiors, what about the later ones?Does Prince Fu, who always speaks well for him, get more than him?

Thinking of Lord Fu, the emperor felt very bitter, should he protect him?What did this daring slave do behind his back?It seems that sometimes it's not that the superior wants to be cunning, and the birds do their best to hide, but that some people are arrogant and greedy, so that the superior has to do black hands.

The Yao family was completely finished this time. The female relatives returned to their hometowns, and the males were exiled. Yao Guangyu's blood debts to Beijiang were repaid by his descendants generation after generation.

Lord Fu not only lost his powerful arm in the court, but also lost the trust and protection of the emperor, and life suddenly became difficult.

General Guo asked Fuyao to continue to investigate Aunt Huo's affairs, so where should she start!

Worrying is useless, Fuyao still has one important thing to do.Liang Mingrui teamed up with General Guo and actually found a piece of meteorite iron, weighing about [-] to [-] kilograms. Fuyao drew a diagram of the parts and asked him to take it to the Jinggong Battalion dedicated to serving the royal family to build a new type of small crossbow.

This kind of crossbow has an auxiliary bow, which can accelerate the arrow again, and the arrow shaft is engraved with a special spiral groove, and the arrow will rotate quickly, which is beneficial to long-distance and maintains high accuracy.

Of course, manufacturing is extremely difficult, and ordinary blacksmiths cannot complete such high-precision work.

When the meteorite fell, the temperature was very high, and the iron ore was fused with other impurities, so it was not easy to smelt it. The ore was not big, but the steel obtained in the end was only a small piece, and it could not make a few crossbows. Fuyao, Liang Mingrui, and Guo Bin each I got one, and asked General Guo to give the other two to the people in the northern Xinjiang army. Even Fuyao failed to get one for Dahu and Erhu. Finally, the Jinggong Battalion made another batch with ordinary steel before giving it to him. The two are matched, of course, if there are these two, there will be Yinhu, otherwise this guy hasn't realized that he has been exposed?

After Yinhu and Dahu recovered from their injuries, they practiced kung fu very hard. Yinhu also used his own kung fu to help Dahu open up the meridians in his body. In just a few months, Dahu's martial arts has made great progress. Silver Tiger is just a little bit closer.

In the past, Fuyao couldn't catch up with Chen Qiangrui in terms of his kung fu, but now, he probably can't catch up with Guo Bin.
.

Winter has come, Yaoqian and Zhang Chengyi, according to Fuyao's wishes, bought a small courtyard in Beijing and let the family live in it.The level of Zhang Chengyi's roast duck is getting higher and higher. In addition to the [-]-month salary, there will be a bonus at the end of the year. Although he is only given half of the shares, it is not a small amount.

When Lu saw that her daughter was rich, she immediately lost two to five to eighty thousand. Today she wanted to buy this, and tomorrow she wanted that. For a copper coin, you have to ask Yaolan to ask for it. Fuyao finally had time to visit them once, and he listened to the quarrel between Lu and Yaolan from the beginning to the end.

"Mother, I didn't hear you say a word, how can I take good care of my eldest sister and little nephew?" Fu Yao didn't directly embarrass this confused mother, but asked quietly.

Lu's face immediately flushed red.

"Brother-in-law has earned money and brought everyone here, probably not only because he wants to be filial to you, right? He is not a son-in-law who recruits." Fuyao's tone of voice seemed to be a kind reminder, but the meaning of condemnation was already sufficient.

As expected, Mrs. Lu lowered her face, and said unhappily: "One and two are for nothing."

"Mother, I have something I want to ask you." Fuyao pretended to be very modest, Lu's spirit came to life, he raised his airs, and asked, "What's the matter?"

It doesn't matter that Yaolan is behind her, curling her lips in disdain.

"Grandpa and grandma only gave birth to you, and you can be said to be spoiled by thousands of pets. How did you show filial piety to their elders? Just like the eldest sister, give them money? Take them to our house to eat and dress well?"

Lu's face turned red and purple in an instant, how could she have the intention of being filial to her parents back then?The second elder left the family property, just the small courtyard, to the cousin. Naturally, the cousin and his wife died for the second elder, and she had no responsibility at all.

It was also because of this that Mrs. Lu lived in her cousin's house begging for nothing, but the couple did not dare to throw her out.

"If you want to be fair, turn it upside down, don't ask us to do things that you haven't done all day long." Yaolan's naked reprimand made Lu Shi angry, but seeing the disdain in the eyes of the two daughters, she gritted her teeth After a while, nothing was said in the end.What can she say?

"Mother, it's so easy to have enough food and clothing, and no worries about food and clothing, so you can live in peace. People want to cherish their blessings, and they are not wealthy people. How can they think about brocade makeup flowers, Suzhou embroidery and Hangzhou silk? Wash the coarse clothes and wear them neatly. White flour steamed buns are only pickled all year round, and there are tofu and cabbage at the ends every three days. Half of the people in the capital can’t afford it these days. If you are not satisfied, go to your father and younger brother, that’s your home.”

"That's right, all the money Daddy earns belongs to you, and we don't want any of it." Yaolan's mouth was as sharp as a knife.

Lu didn't say a word.Yaoming had already gone to the camp in northern Xinjiang, and wrote a letter, complaining about poor food and clothing, he spent all of Ji Zhenggang's money, how could he send anything back?Mrs. Lu also complained, and the sisters all blamed her for not teaching her son well. Now, Mrs. Lu is most afraid of hearing this.

Only then did Fuyao put on a straight face and said to his mother: "You don't know how to live at all, and you don't know how to go out to earn money. You have been eating and wearing other people's clothes all your life. What right do you have to be picky and picky, and dislike food and clothing? When I come back next time , if I see you still arguing with the third sister and trying to waste the money of the elder brother-in-law, I will send you to the camp in Beijiang."

Fuyao doesn't have the slightest affection for Mrs. Lu. The reason why she is willing to take care of her is because this society has too high requirements for filial piety, and Yaoqian is too filial.She didn't want to be too out of line, to attract people's attention, and she didn't want to make her eldest sister Yaoqian sad.She originally thought that Lu's family should have a better memory after suffering for a few years, but she didn't expect her to revert to her old ways just as the days got better.

Yaofang is just like a stranger to Lu. When she first learned about the restaurant, she clamored to learn how to roast duck. In the end, she found that she didn't have that much energy, so she followed the chef to practice chopping vegetables. Seeing that she wanted to learn the craft, Fuyao finally asked someone Let her learn carving with a cook from the palace. Yaofang is now in the restaurant, and the shopkeeper gives her a monthly salary of two taels of silver.Two liang of silver is enough for an average family of five or six to spend half a year. After hearing about it, Mrs. Lu murmured behind her back that she thought Yaofang was not filial to her, but she never dared to say that, let alone Yaofang would always be like that to her. Even the most tempered Yaoqian with a cold face dared not speak out.How could she have the face to ask Yaofang to be filial?

Yaoqian's baby looks like Yaoming, with a chubby face, big black eyes, and a toothless grin. A model husband, with the careful care of his younger sister Yaolan, his body is recovering very well. When he saw Fuyao, her smile was filled with satisfaction and happiness. As soon as Fuyao saw the elder sister, the irritability and worry in his heart disappeared in an instant.

The days are getting better day by day, and she has tried her best to prepare for the troubles in the future. There is no need for her to spend every day without smiling.

Yaoqian still remembered Guo Bin and Chen Qiangrui, and heard from Fuyao that these two had gone to the camp in Northern Xinjiang, and she chanted regretfully: "What two boys, your brother-in-law still wants to invite them to eat roast duck."

"In the future, there will be opportunities." Fuyao reassured.

Yaoqian had other thoughts, seeing her sister speak innocently, she sighed quietly in her heart.
