The world of film and television begins with Ning'an as a dream

Although Sheng Hong and his wife are often not on the same wavelength, today, as their eldest daughter's marriage was at stake, they showed a rare tacit understanding in the study room, causing Yuan Wenchun and his wife to suffer a loss.

After all, what Mrs. Yuan did was so obvious that even a woman like Madam Sheng who was not good at house fighting could see it, not to mention the cunning Sheng Hong.

Using the excuse given by Wang Yue, the couple insisted that Yuan Wenchun find a way to add another pair of wild geese and bring them over when the wedding date was announced, otherwise the wedding would have to be postponed.

Yuan Wenchun and his wife had no choice but to swallow their anger. They thought that they would definitely not come next time.

……

Sheng Hong had just come out of the study feeling refreshed when he felt something was wrong with the servants. He hurriedly and calmly sent Yuan Wenchun and his wife to the front yard, then quietly hurried back.

When the two arrived, they happened to see Wang Yue standing on the courtyard wall, talking to Chang Bai.

Sheng Hong frowned. It was obviously impossible for him to blame Wang Yue, so he scolded Chang Bai, "Chang Bai, what are you doing here? You came here to disturb your grandmother's rest! Don't you know that your grandmother has just recovered from her illness?"

When Minglan heard Sheng Hong's voice, she turned around and saw Sheng Hong and Madam Sheng coming over. She ran over with her short legs and said, "Daddy, Madam, we are catching wild geese."

Sheng Hong was about to scold Ming Lan, but after hearing what Ming Lan said, he asked in confusion, "What wild geese are we catching? Chang Bai, tell me."

Changbai didn't care about Sheng Hong's serious face at all. He said seriously, "Father, we found the wild goose that was released by my third brother flying in the sky, so we went to the Bai family to borrow two stone bows and prepared to shoot the wild goose down."

After hearing this, Madam Song asked excitedly without waiting for Sheng Hong to ask, "Did you shoot it down?"

Changbai nodded, still with a stern face, and said, "Father, Mother, they have been taken down. Brother Ye from Tokyo is chasing them. He will probably be back soon."

When Sheng Hong heard that he was shot down, he was delighted and asked excitedly, "He's not dead, is he?"

Changbai's expression didn't change, and his voice was calm as he said, "My eldest cousin led us to sharpen the arrows. We will definitely not hurt the wild goose. Don't worry, father and mother!"

Chapter 167 Assassination!

After hearing this, Madam Shengda said very proudly, "You are just worrying about nothing. My brother's brother Yue has always been the most cautious in doing things, and with Changbai's personality, how could he make mistakes?"

Sheng Hong saw Madam Sheng's smug look and was about to agree with her when his expression suddenly changed and he shouted excitedly, "Xiao Yue, what are you doing!"

Mrs. Sheng Da suddenly heard Sheng Hong yelling, and thought that Sheng Hong couldn't stand her family being well off, so she immediately retorted, "Why are you yelling! Are you scared..."

She only said half of the sentence. When she looked up at Wang Yue, she found that Wang Yue was quickly drawing the bow and drawing the arrow. In the time she watched, Wang Yue had already shot five arrows.

Sheng Changbai hurriedly and laboriously climbed to the top of the wall, but he was short and didn't know any martial arts skills, so he had no way of climbing up.

When Mother Fang saw this, she quickly signaled to the two servants to go and help, and only then was Sheng Changbai able to climb up.

After Changbai climbed up, the two servants also climbed up quickly, only to find that there were several people lying outside.

Changbai hesitated for a moment, still a little confused and asked, "Cousin, why did you kill someone?"

After hearing Changbai's words, the others were also shocked. They didn't know why Wang Yue suddenly shot a few arrows. Was it just to kill people?

Just when everyone was confused, Gu Tingye's voice came out, and he said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about, little yamenei? Brother Wang is trying to save me, otherwise he wouldn't have shot the arrows."

As Gu Tingye said this, he handed over the wild goose in his arms and said with dissatisfaction, "It's all because of your wild goose, otherwise I wouldn't be in such a mess."

Changbai took the goose and found that it was intact. Only then did he believe what Gu Tingye said.

He quickly handed the wild goose to a servant, and then asked excitedly, "Did these people want to kill you just now?"

Gu Tingye climbed up the wall with great effort, pointed at the wound on his shoulder, and said unhappily, "Of course, look at this knife wound, if it wasn't for Brother Wang's fast sword, this knife would have at least broken my bones, and I would probably have died directly!"

"Ah~!"

“Blood~!”

Accompanied by the exclamations of several servants, everyone noticed that the knife wound on Gu Tingye's shoulder was so deep that the bone was visible.

Sheng Hong also realized the seriousness of the situation. He turned around and said to Dong Rong, "Quickly take people to check it out! Someone actually assassinated the son of Ningyuan Marquis in Yangzhou City! This is simply too lawless."

Dong Rong did not dare to shout loudly, so he quickly called a few servants to follow him and climb over the wall to check.

When they rushed over, Gu Tingye had already turned back and found Zhique, who was dying, in a pool of blood.

Speaking of which, this kid was quite lucky. The killer was anxious to kill Gu Tingye and slashed him in the chest, but before he could use all his strength, he was shot in the throat by Wang Yue.

Although the arrows in Wang Yue's hand were rounded, at such a close distance and with a two-stone hard bow, the arrows hit the throat. Although they did not penetrate the throat, they shattered the Adam's apple and cut into the throat, causing serious damage to the throat.

After Dong Rong came over to check the situation, he did not dare to act rashly and quickly sent someone on horseback to call a doctor. He just bandaged Zhique first and then went to report to Sheng Hong.

After hearing the news, Sheng Hong asked Dong Rong to watch the scene and went to the front hall to call over the prefect who was visiting.

After the prefect learned the details, he was horrified and even followed him. When he arrived at the scene, he was also stunned by the situation.

Except for Gu Tingye's servant Zhique, the others were either shot in the throat or in the eye sockets or ears, and each one looked more miserable than the other.

After listening to the description of the situation by Sheng Hong and Gu Tingye, he immediately sent people to call all the police chiefs and coroners in the city.

After verifying everything, he went to comfort Gu Tingye and Wang Yue, "My two nephews, I have understood everything clearly. You don't have to worry. I will definitely find the real culprit and handle this case thoroughly."

When Wang Yue heard this, he understood that this meant that Gu Tingye was asked to go back and explain things to Lord Gu, and he was just doing it in passing.

He was just a scholar now. Although he didn't have to bow when he met the county magistrate, he was nothing in front of the prefect.

Gu Tingye obviously didn't understand the meaning of the prefect's words, so he said directly, "Sir, I suspect the assassin this time was sent by the second branch of the Bai family."

The prefect was stunned for a moment. He did not expect Gu Tingye to be so straightforward. He asked calmly, "Nephew, why do you say that?"

Gu Tingye thought the prefect was enthusiastic, so he answered honestly, "After my grandfather was kicked out of the Bai family, he worked hard to build his current foundation. He didn't want to give it to those ungrateful people, so he called me here and passed the family property to me.

I heard from the housekeeper that the people from the second branch had come to our house to harass us many times after hearing that my grandfather was in poor health.

Now that they have not received a penny of the family property, they probably won’t be willing to accept this. That’s why they want to find someone to kill me so as to force my grandfather to redistribute the family property.

Please help me punish the murderer, otherwise I will have to go back to Beijing and ask my father for help."

After hearing this, the prefect thought of Old Man Wang, whom he had just met yesterday. He remembered that Old Man Wang said at that time that Mr. Bai deliberately cooperated with the Wang family for the sake of his grandson in order to protect the family property.

He thought that Old Man Wang had already given him benefits, that there were people in the Wang family who were worthy of being enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and that there was another person who was the prefect on the other side of the river, and it was not easy for him to offend them. Now with the Ningyuan Marquisate, he really needed to give a satisfactory answer.

The prefect had been in office for so many years that he could tell at a glance that Gu Tingye had no intention of blackmailing them. He was just young and impatient. Besides, he was about to be transferred, so he wanted to give everyone face.

Therefore, he did not care about Gu Tingye's slightly threatening words, and smiled and comforted him, "My dear nephew, don't worry, this matter is easy to deal with. Isn't there another killer who just fainted? With a little interrogation, he will definitely reveal the mastermind. You just need to attend the wedding banquet."

Seeing that the prefect had explained it so clearly, Gu Tingye politely bowed to the prefect and then thanked him repeatedly.

He had an injury on his arm, and although it was simply bandaged, when he reluctantly saluted, he touched the wound again, and some blood seeped out.

The prefect was very satisfied with Gu Tingye's reaction. He felt that the second son of the Yongyuan Hou family was not as rogue as the rumors said.

He asked someone to send Gu Tingye home, and he arranged for the captain of the police to handle the case, and then hurried to attend the banquet.

Sheng Hong is going to Beijing soon, and he might be promoted to the next level, which means he will be at the same rank as him. He cannot but give him face.

After everyone left, Sheng Hong returned to Shou'an Hall. Mrs. Sheng was with him at the moment, and he came to report what had happened.

When Mrs. Sheng saw Sheng Hong coming over, she asked in confusion, "How is the situation outside being handled?"

Sheng Hong sat down next to the old lady, and then said with emotion, "The prefect has already arranged it, and I don't need to get involved in this matter."

After listening to the two people's story, Madam Sheng said in disbelief, "Did someone really die outside?"

Sheng Hong knew what Madam Sheng was talking about, and he also said with emotion, "Four dead and one injured, the shots were either in the eyes or the ears, and the shots were extremely ruthless."

Madam Sheng was a little stunned. She asked in disbelief, "How could this be? This is too cruel."

Sheng Hong understood what was going on, so he said helplessly, "What do you know? Didn't Changbai tell you before? Yue'er sharpened the arrowheads of all his arrows into round shapes in order to shoot wild geese.

If the round head hits a person, at most it will injure him a little, but it won't kill him at all. At that time, the situation was too urgent, and Xiao Yue could only set up these vulnerable places to save Gu Tingye's life.

In fact, it was Brother Yue who saved our family from trouble. If Gu Tingye had died because of our family’s affairs, I’m afraid…”

When Mrs. Sheng saw Sheng Hong say this, she deliberately praised him and said, "You are calm in the face of chaos and act decisively. You are already a scholar at such a young age. Your future is limitless!

It's a pity that Hualan has already been engaged, otherwise, it would be very suitable for Hualan to marry Brother Yue."

She was not joking when she said this. Sheng Hualan suffered a lot with her parents when she was young. Only after coming to Yangzhou did she enjoy a few years of happiness. She was also taught by the old lady since she was young and had some of the old lady's demeanor.

A child who has been trained in this way is very suitable to be the mistress of a harem, especially the harem of a man with great abilities.

Hearing what the old lady said, Sheng Hong nodded and said, "What the old lady said is true, but although Hualan is already married, don't we have other daughters in our house?"

Although Madam Shengda felt that Wang Yue was a bit cruel, she was still a person who listened to advice. After hearing her mother-in-law and husband say that Wang Yue was good, she decisively said, "Yes, our Ru'er is good. It just so happens that Brother Liu Yue may stay at home for a while, so the two of them can spend more time together."

Sheng Hong twitched his lips and wanted to refute but didn't say it. He felt that Molan was more suitable. Although they were both his biological daughters, Rulan's personality was too much like her mother's. She was average-looking and a bit honest and straightforward. Wang Yue might not like her.

But he didn't say it in front of his stepmother and daughter-in-law, and could only change the subject and said, "No matter which daughter it is, as long as Wang Yue likes her, I will agree to this marriage."

Old Madam Sheng understood her illegitimate son's thoughts at that time, but she did not tell this honest daughter-in-law. She just nodded and said, "That's right. Such a good son should of course try his best to stay at home to thank Enhui. Even if we can't become relatives in the future, with the relationship between the two families, he can also be an assistant."

Chapter 168: Sheng Hong’s incident happened!

Sheng Hong understood what the old lady meant, which was that Wang Yue might not like Molan, so he should not force it.

He said hesitantly, "Madam, I just passed the assessment this time. I think I can get an excellent grade. I might go to Beijing to take up a post. I'm afraid I can't stay for too long."

When Madam Sheng heard what Sheng Hong said, she slapped her thigh and said with regret, "Master is right, it's just that the time is too short. If they are separated for a long time and the children don't have contact, it will be difficult to cultivate feelings."

Old Madam Sheng was very calm. Seeing that the couple were confused, she smiled and reminded them, "You two are thinking wrongly. Have you forgotten what the young man from the Wang family said when he first came here?"

Madam Sheng was stunned for a moment, then asked in confusion, "What did you say?"

Sheng Hong thought about it carefully, and then said excitedly, "When his father came, he said that he would come to Yangzhou to help Dalang choose a good teacher, so that Wang Dalang could study hard and prepare for the imperial examination.

In this case, we might as well invite a famous teacher to run a school in our home, so that Yue'er can stay at home longer."

When Madam Shengda heard this idea, her eyes lit up and she quickly said, "If it doesn't work, you can teach him yourself. You are a Jinshi, and it will be easy for him, a scholar, right?"

Old Madam Sheng smiled. She chose Madam Sheng because of her honest and straightforward character. She was indeed very good at making people laugh. She simply didn't say much and just looked at Sheng Hong silently.

Sheng Hong couldn't help but blushing. He was just an ordinary Jinshi, but Wang Yue's talent was obviously among the best. He might even be able to get the third place or the first place in the imperial examination. How could he teach such a genius?

However, since his wife thought so highly of him, he could not refute her and could only say helplessly, "Don't I have official duties to attend to? However, I do know a great scholar. If I write a letter to him and ask for his help, I think he will give me some face."

Old Madam Sheng knew who that person was. She nodded and said, "If we can really invite him over, we will have a suitable reason to let Wang Jiadalang stay in our house to study."

Mrs. Sheng was confused. She looked at her mother-in-law in bewilderment, then turned back to look at her husband. She wanted to ask but didn't dare, and wanted to say something but didn't know what to say.

……

Not to mention how Sheng Hong discussed with the old lady about his permanent residence in the Sheng family, he was now called by Old Man Wang and Old Woman Wang to the front yard, the guest room that the Sheng family had arranged for him earlier.

Old Man Wang frowned and asked, "Xiao Yue, what happened in the old lady's yard just now? Why did so many people go there?"

Mother Wang also said, "I couldn't find your aunt either. Are they all over there?"

Wang Yue saw his father and mother rushing to ask questions and he understood what they were worried about. Of course he couldn't tell the truth, otherwise, with their personalities, it would be difficult for him to get out on his own in the future.

So he quickly explained, "Mom and Dad, don't worry. We saw the wild goose and shot it down. You can go and see later that the wild goose is definitely back in the cage."

After hearing what Wang Yue said, Wang's mother asked Hu Yi, "Really?"

Seeing his mother asking this, Wang Yue pretended to be very aggrieved and said, "Of course it's true, and I shot it down. I originally polished ten arrows, but I shot it down with one arrow."

Seeing Wang Yue's detailed description, Mother Wang believed it. After she felt relieved, she stood up and said, "In that case, I will go to the front. I was chatting with a few ladies and came to ask when I saw the movement in the back."

Father Wang Yue nodded and said seriously, "Go ahead, go ahead. I still need my wife's help to build a good relationship with them, so that we won't have to worry about business in Yangzhou City in the future."

Seeing how much Wang Lao praised her, Wang Lao Ma left with satisfaction, still muttering, "That's right, can this family survive without me?"

After watching Wang's mother leave, Father Wang looked at Wang Yue with a gloomy face and asked, "Tell me, what happened?"

Wang Yue knew that he couldn't hide it from his father, so he reluctantly told him everything that had happened today.

After hearing this, Father Wang asked suspiciously, "When did you become so good at archery?"

Wang Yue looked at his father innocently and said in confusion, "Dad, you are often out and about. Do you know what I do at home every day?"

Father Wang was choked by Wang Yue's words, and then he said angrily, "Who am I running outside for every day? How dare you, little bastard, talk to me like that!"

Wang Yue successfully changed the subject, and then asked in confusion, "How did Dad find out that I didn't tell the truth?"

Old Man Wang still said proudly, "I have been doing business for many years, how can I not tell whether a person's words are true or false? Although part of what you said is true, it is obviously inconsistent with the situation at that time.

If the wild goose was really shot, your aunt and uncle would only have to die. How is that possible? They are still accompanying Old Madam Sheng? It is obvious that they are worried that the old lady will be frightened, so they went to comfort her. "

Wang Yue then understood where his father had seen the clues. It was indeed because Sheng Hong and Madam Sheng were so nervous that people saw the clues.

But we can't blame them. After all, this is a critical moment for Sheng Hong's promotion. If the old lady dies of fright, not only will Sheng Hong's promotion be ruined, but he will also have to observe mourning for three years.

After three years have passed, if you come back again, you still need someone to recommend you. The highest you can get is the position of Tongpan. If you want to be promoted higher, you have to wait for a few more years?

Therefore, the two may not be very filial to the old lady, but when it comes to Shenghong's future, they have to be cautious.
