It is impossible for ordinary people to see the small red moles that are often in Qing's private places. But who is Shen Wan, if he can easily believe these unfounded words, he is not a courtier who has been in the court for so many years. He glanced at the letter, and it said that the father and son had now entered the Ding capital and lived in a private house in the east of the city. There was even a specific address on it. Shen Wan quickly tore the letter to shreds. Said: "Prepare the car!"
Shen Wan didn't believe in a letter he didn't know, but he couldn't have unreserved trust in Chang Zaiqing. It was better to see it himself.
When the carriage arrived at the house mentioned by Chengdong, Shen Wan didn't get out of the car, but hid and held down, letting his servant knock on the door.
The person who came to open the door was an eight or nine-year-old boy. Because the boy was too thin, his eyes were a little less naive, and he was a little more mature. He looked like a teenager. Shen Wan gasped sharply when he saw the boy's face clearly.
At that moment, Shen Wan knew that what the letter said was true. There is no other reason, just because this boy and Chang Zaiqing are so similar. Even the sublime charm between his eyebrows is very similar, but compared to Chang Zaiqing's generous and hearty method, this boy will appear much more inferior and cowardly. But no matter what, the appearance is ten percent similar.
The Chang family has no other children, so it cannot be Chang Zaiqing's younger brother. Shen Wan's personal servant was also taken aback by the boy's appearance, but he still asked according to Shen Wan's instructions, "Little brother, do you know where Chang Zaiqing is?"
The boy gave him a wary look and asked, "What are you doing with my mother?"
Shen Wan closed his eyes.
Needless to say, what the letter said was the truth. Chang Zaiqing did indeed have a husband and son in Liuzhou. I just don't know why it was so well covered up. The boy perfunctory said a few words to the boy, returned to Shen Wan's side, and looked at Shen Wan carefully and asked, "Master..."
"Check!" Shen Wan panted: "Send someone to Liuzhou to check! What exactly is Chang Zaiqing, you must check it out for me!"
The reason why Shen Wan admires Chang Zaiqing is that Chang Zaiqing is gentle, hearty, and extremely talented, and he is still pregnant with his child. But if Shui Chang Zaiqing really had a husband and son in Liuzhou, then all this would be a joke! He is still complacent in raising other people's wives, and since Chang Zaiqing has abandoned his husband and son, he must not be as gentle and pleasant as he looks on the surface. Shen Wan was also extremely picky in some aspects. On the one hand, he hoped that his wife could manage the mundane affairs in an orderly manner, and on the other hand, he hoped that the other party would maintain a fairy air that did not eat human fireworks. And everything that happened today made Chang Zaiqing change a person instantly in his eyes, making Shen Wan feel extremely disgusting.
In the next few days, Shen Wan seemed to be busy. He was outside every day, even when he returned to the Shen residence, he plunged into the study, and Chang Zaiqing couldn't see him. Occasionally, Shen Wan came over to deliver cakes, but Shen Wan was not as intimate as before. At first, Shen Wan's attitude made Chang Zaiqing a little uneasy. Shen Wan's personal servant told Chang Zaiqing that Shen Wan had taken an errand in the past few days. Just let go.
But in fact, Shen Wan finally received a letter from Liuzhou.
The letter from Liuzhou was exactly the same as the letter sent by the stranger. Chang Zaiqing had a husband in the past, and in Liuzhou, it was a famous story of a generation. After Shen Wan read the letter, he almost flipped the table in anger. I took a concubine or someone else's wife. Now the husband and son of the other party have come to the Ding capital. Once they are found, I am afraid that they will become a joke in the whole Ding capital, not to mention the censors will not let them go. This is an opportunity to participate in his book.
If it was just like that, it would be fine, it was rare that Chen Rou Qiu was divorced because of Chang Zai Qing, and he even had a grudge against the Chen family. Now it's rumored that others will only say that he mistakenly regarded the fish eyes as pearls. Shen Wan now has a faint feeling of regret in his heart. Although Chang Zai Qing has his children in his belly, he is also afraid of ruining himself because of Chang Zai Qing. 's career. In terms of affection and power, he still depends on how much power he values. What's more, Shen Wan couldn't let go of it when he thought that the woman sleeping beside him was someone else's wife.
He thought deeply for a while, and was about to order to go out, but he saw one of his long followers hurried in and shouted: "Master, something happened! It's not good!"
Shen Wan frowned and said angrily, "What kind of demeanor is it to be in a panic!"
That Chang Sui handed Shen Wan a letter tremblingly, and for some unknown reason, his eyes were somewhat dodged.
Shen Wan looked suspiciously at Chang Sui. This Chang Sui was the one who followed him, and he was the one who followed him and his colleagues to deliver letters on weekdays.
After reading two lines, Shen Wan's complexion suddenly became incomparably livid. If he looked seriously, he seemed to be able to detect a bit of fear.
…
In the imperial study, Emperor Wen Hui was furious.
Throwing the memorial in his hand to the ground, Emperor Wen Hui sneered. The eunuchs around him didn't dare to let out the air, and the emperor was furious and buried millions of corpses, especially now, he didn't dare to touch the bad head of Emperor Wen Hui.
The first items in the memorial are all things Shen Wan has done from a few years ago to the present, and it doesn't seem to be a big deal. However, Emperor Wen Hui was also someone who had come through the bloody storm like the brothers' struggle for power. The memorial was very cleverly written, but every line described the unusual relationship between Shen Wan and King Ding Fu Xiuyi.
Among the nine sons of Emperor Wen Hui, the most reassuring were the Crown Prince and King Ding. After all, the crown prince was from an orthodox background, and his body was weak, so Emperor Wen Hui would subconsciously relax him. On the other hand, although King Ding was excellent, he did not ask about the affairs of the court. In addition, Concubine Dong Shu also had a temperament of not fighting or robbing, which made Emperor Wen Hui feel extremely comfortable. The open and secret struggle between the princes was seen by Emperor Wen Hui, but he would not say a word to stop it. As long as the trouble is not too much, this kind of mutual check and balance is also what he is most happy to see. Once a person is in a position of power, he will not be willing to let it go. Seeing his sons grow up one by one, at the age of fierceness, Emperor Wen Hui will also be wary.
What he hates most is that the prince and the minister are too close. Although this is an unavoidable fact, such as his nine sons, each has a group of advocates. But when this son became King Ding, who was not fighting or robbing on weekdays, Emperor Wen Hui was still a little unacceptable. Instead, he was more angry than ever.
Fu Xiuyi's freewheeling behavior in the past, regardless of world affairs, has now become a word in Emperor Wen Hui's eyes: Pretend!
"Kill the chickens to warn the monkeys." Emperor Wen Hui said with a gloomy expression: "It's easy to be fooled by all of them, and in this case, I will fulfill their wishes!"
…
The matter of the court was originally a sudden change in the situation. There are many people who ascend to the Heavenly Hall in the morning and become Tian Shelang in the evening. If something happened, it would be good luck to become Tian Shelang, but the others were all behind bars, wiping the neck with a knife and implicated the nine clans.
Shen Wan is this person.
Following the incident between the Shen family and the Chen family a few days ago, I thought things had gradually calmed down. Who knows, but a group of officials suddenly came to the Shen residence to arrest people. When some curious people inquired about it, they heard that Shen Wan was not doing well in the court, and the entire Shen residence was implicated. It's not clear what exactly the crime was, but the common people were so cowardly, they believed it if it was inconvenient. But there was a wise man who saw that this was unusual. You must know that if the errand is really not done well, why would the entire Shen residence be taken over. This is clearly an act of committing a serious crime to punish the Nine Clan.
People passing by looked at the Shen Mansion, which was not what it used to be. It was said that two years ago, the Shen family had to split up when Shen Xin was in desperation, and later they removed Shen Xin from the Shen family's clan name.
When these words reached Shen Miao's ears in the Shen residence, Shen Miao just smiled indifferently. Luo Tan clenched her fists tightly, with an angry expression on her face: "This is called not reporting the time and not coming. Back then, they practiced uncle and aunt. If they knew that you are all right now, I'm afraid they would be angry."
Luo Ling pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "What crime did Mr. Shen San have committed to make such a big fanfare?"
Shen Miao said, "Since His Majesty is so angry, he must have done something to be rude to Tai Sui. These things have nothing to do with us."
Luo Tan nodded: "Indeed, let's just wait and watch the show."
Shen Qiu looked at Shen Miao with a worried look on his face, but he stopped talking. After Luo Ling and Luo Tan left, Shen Qiu did not leave, he dragged Shen Miao into the house, and after seeing that the door was locked, he asked Shen Miao, "Sister, did you do the affairs of the Shen family?"
Shen Miao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Big Brother, why do you put everything on my head. Your Majesty wants to deal with people who are not good, and I do not have the ability to intervene in Third Uncle's errands."
Shen Qiu pressed his forehead with a headache and said, "Sister, eldest brother knows that there are some things you don't want to tell outsiders. But the affairs of the court are not as simple as you think. Sometimes it seems that you have won. Maybe there will be variables in the future, and I will involve myself in it…”
He rambled on and Shen Miao was helpless: "Big Brother, the truth is with you, this matter really has nothing to do with me, Shen Wan was imprisoned because Chen Rouqiu stabbed a knife in the back. Do you think that Chen Rouqiu will give up?"
This time it was Shen Qiu's turn to be surprised, he asked, "Chen Rouqiu?"
"Chen Rouqiu has lived with Shen Wan for so many years and knows Shen Miao's affairs well. It is easier than ordinary people to stab a knife in the back." Shen Miao said, "Shen Wan was harmed by the person beside her bed and was implicated. What does it have to do with me?"
When Shen Qiu heard this, he thought for a while and then looked at Shen Miao suspiciously, "How do you know these things so clearly?"
“I was looking forward to their unlucky all day long, so naturally I sent someone to monitor their every move.” Shen Miao and Xie Jing Xing had been together for a long time, and there was a mixed meaning in their words.
Shen Qiu usually saw Shen Miao with a dignified and dignified appearance, this was the first time he saw this appearance and for some reason he felt a little familiar. Then he shook his head, interrupting his own thoughts, and said, "Even if we monitor this matter, it's too coincidental..." He widened his eyes, looking a bit funny, and said, "Sister, it's not you who are here. Is it behind the scenes?"
Shen Miao smiled, "Elder Brother thinks how he thinks it is, and these things have nothing to do with me at all."
Shen Qiu's face collapsed, and he said, "How dare you be so courageous, if this pierces the sky..."
Shen Miao interrupted his nagging: "How did eldest brother become a mother-in-law and mother, it is just a trivial matter, the Shen family fell into such a field, it is all self-inflicted. If Shen Wan didn't do things badly, how could he be caught, if How could he be provoked successfully with Chen Rouqiu and Chen Rouqiu? You should first think about what you have done wrong before saying that others are not?"
Shen Qiu was stunned when Shen Miao spoke bluntly, until Shen Miao's maid was sent to the outside of the yard, Shen Qiu reacted, patted his head suddenly and came back to his senses. Shen Miao was clearly arguing and arguing, and she didn't know where she learned it from. It was clearly the boldness that even imperial court officials played with applauding, but she said she was extremely innocent. Shen Qiu was surprised, when did Shen Miao learn this kind of nonsense, and this gesture was so familiar, as if she had seen it before… where was it
In the room, Shen Miao sent Shen Qiu away and sat at the table with a long sigh of relief.
He had just started, but Emperor Wen Hui had a resolute temperament, and he could not tolerate the prince and courtiers getting too close, not to mention that all those things started a few years ago.
From the beginning, don't forget who you want to deal with. Since the rebirth, many things have gradually faded away. For example, in the Shen family, even if she does nothing, she can kill herself. But Fu Xiuyi was different.
Fu Xiuyi was like the most venomous snake lurking in the dark. It looked harmless, but would suddenly come out and bite. Just like the last time he asked Shen Wan to match up with Zhou Wang. Even though Shen Miao had tried her best to hide in front of Fu Xiu Yi, Fu Xiu Yi still stared at her.
It is no longer suitable to think about forbearance and planning, it is better to tear off the covering cloth, and now start a close game of chess.
What is Fu Xiuyi most afraid of, what is most afraid of is that his ambitions will be revealed.
Shen Wan's incident, although it would make Emperor Wen Hui suspicious, but with Fu Xiuyi's methods, he would not have been defeated so easily. He will definitely come up with a way to refute it.
But how could Shen Miao miss this opportunity? Even if he couldn't be defeated this time, Fu Xiuyi had to take off his skin.
Just one Shen Wan is not enough, this chess game must be more exciting. Shen Miao asked Jing Zhe to call Mo Qing in from outside and gave Mo Qing a few words in a low voice.
…
From the flowery mansion to the prison, it was just a matter of one night.
Shen Wan felt that over the past two years, the Shen residence had been very unlucky. It was as if something had collided, and everything went wrong. Originally, the second room had an accident, but after the second room had an accident, it was the third room's turn. Now the entire Shen residence is imprisoned, oh, except for the big room. The big room has now been reactivated by Emperor Wen Hui, no matter what the future will be, at least it is better than them now.
Speaking of which, the Shen residence has been in trouble one after another, as if it started after the big house was separated, or to be more precise, it started when Shen Xin returned to Beijing two years ago. Could it be that someone put a curse on the Shen residence behind their backs
In the cell next door, the female family members of the Shen family were locked up. Old Madam Shen and Chang Zaiqing were locked together. Listening to Old Shen Furen's complaints and moans, Shen Wan gradually developed some irritability in his heart.
Thinking back to two years ago, the mighty General Shen's residence was full of people who came to visit every day, although they were all for Shen Xin's name. But Shen Xin was not in Beijing all the year round, and the Shen residence was not short of money. Although Shen Gui and himself are civil officials, they are still climbing year by year. The two daughters are slim, and climbing a good in-law can also be a help. Shen Yuanbai and Shen Yuan were still alive, but Ren Wanyun was shrewd and Chen Rouqiu was gentle, but it was a good picture of a family and everything going smoothly.
But in just two years, things are right and people are wrong, and they will fall into such a situation.
Shen Gui asked sickly, "Third brother, what did you do? Your Majesty even arrests our entire residence?"
"Am I doing something wrong?" Shen Wan sneered and said, "Second brother was also a servant in the imperial court. I don't know who your Majesty wants to arrest, can you arrest someone for any reason? This is His Majesty. Find out my reasons." If it's really bad, I definitely won't arrest everyone in the whole house, which is clearly meant to invite teachers to ask for guilt.
When Chang Zaiqing next door heard the words, he exclaimed, with a little anxiety in his words, and said, "Is it your Majesty's intention? Why did His Majesty do this deliberately? Could it be that the Master has angered His Majesty somewhere?"
If it were normal, Shen Wan would certainly comfort Chang Zaiqing with a few words. But when he thought of the news that he had received from Liuzhou, Chang Zaiqing turned out to be a man with a husband and son, and he felt disgusted. Seeing that Chang Zaiqing is so intertwined right now, Shen Wan feels a little relieved in his heart. Chang Zaiqing is devoted to the future of wealth and honor, so he conceals his true appearance, but now the wealth and honor are all in vain, I am afraid that it will be too late to regret it now.
He waved his hand and said impatiently, "I don't know."
But in his heart, he thought of the letter that Chang Sui had sent to him.
The letter from Changsui was written by a courtier with whom he had a close personal relationship. The courtier did not know where he got the news. Shen Wan's nemesis had a letter written on it. It was evidence of the exchanges between Shen Wan and Fu Xiuyi over the past few years.
Although Shen Wan hadn't really worked for Fu Xiuyi in recent years, he was swaying in his early years, not wanting to give up the move of King Ding, and his attitude was still a little ambiguous. In the eyes of others, it seems that he and King Ding formed an early alliance. And when these evidences were seen by Emperor Wen Hui, it is conceivable that Emperor Wen Hui was furious, but it would be difficult to do good things.
As for how his nemesis suddenly had those evidences, Shen Wan actually vaguely guessed a person in his heart. Chen Rouqiu and him have been husband and wife for so many years, because Chen Rouqiu himself did not understand court affairs, and Shen Wan did not deliberately guard against Chen Rouqiu. Some things are very private, if Chen Rouqiu stabbed a knife in the back, everything is justified.
Thinking that Chen Rouqiu had treated him gently and pleasantly, but now that he was mad, Shen Wan's eyes fell on Chang Zaiqing next door, and his complexion gradually sank. If it wasn't for Chang Zaiqing, why would he and Chen Rouqiu be separated from each other as husband and wife, and this would not be the case. Thinking of this, Shen Wan is also indifferent to his flesh and blood, who is always in the blue belly.
…
The matter of Shen Wan's family being imprisoned seems to be unfavorable on the surface. Anyone who knows the inside story knows that Emperor Wen Hui is angry that Shen Wan is privately approaching Fu Xiuyi. This matter involved the Shen family, and of course, King Ding Fu Xiuyi was also unavoidable.
Fu Xiuyi's eyeliner in the palace was hidden and numerous, and he soon learned the truth of the matter. Fu Xiuyi never thought that Shen Wan and Chen Rouqiu's husband and wife family affairs could involve him. Right now is a critical time, and Emperor Wen Hui must not be suspicious of himself at this time.
At the same time, Fu Xiuyi was also very puzzled. This year, Emperor Wen Hui's body is not as big as before, so he is more sensitive to the relationship between the prince and the courtiers than in previous years. At this sensitive time, it was rumored that he and Shen Wan were getting close, and this timing seemed too coincidental. Although it was Shen Wan who was in charge, in fact, the loss he borne was no less than that of Shen Wan. The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and Fu Xiuyi said coldly, "It's not enough to succeed, but it's more than enough to fail!"
Pei Lang thought to himself, "Your Highness, it's best to get rid of this matter earlier. No matter what method you use, you must prove your innocence."
"Of course I know it is." Fu Xiuyi said, "What do you think sir?"
"The evidence is conclusive, but it is deliberate to deny it. Your Highness might as well admit it and put the matter on Shen Wan alone. Although Your Majesty is taboo against the prince to form a party privately, but if Shen Wan takes the initiative to defect, His Highness will be very annoyed, and Your Majesty's heart may be in trouble. Be wider."
Fu Xiuyi nodded: "Sir and I think exactly the same thing. Shen Wan has to sacrifice this move. But such a waste boy will cause more trouble if he keeps it. It would be better to get rid of it earlier." This means to sacrifice Shen Wan. million. The things in the memorial are undeniable. There is evidence for each one, and anyone who has the will to check can find it. But if this was Shen Wan's idea alone, and Shen Wan wanted to climb up on Fu Xiuyi, but Fu Xiuyi was unmoved, all this would seem to be excusable, but Fu Xiuyi was the one who was implicated.
Only in this way, the sins imposed on Shen Wan will be heavier, and under the wrath of Emperor Wen Hui, the punishment for Shen Wan will be heavier. But of course Fu Xiuyi wouldn't care about Shen Wan's fate, Fu Xiuyi would never give extra affection to those who were useless to him or even caused trouble.
"I really have a relationship with the Shen family." Fu Xiuyi said with a cold expression, "Several times, bad things have been in the hands of the Shen family. I don't know why, although Chen Rouqiu rose this time, I don't think it's that simple. It seems like someone is manipulating behind it."
Pei Lang's heart skipped a beat, but his expression was still half as calm as before, and said, "The most urgent matter is, it's better for Your Highness to prove himself first.
Fu Xiuyi laughed: "Although it's a little troublesome, it's not a dead end. But... Do you think the Shen family should stay or not?"
Pei Lang replied warmly, "Since the great cause of His Highness has been blocked, it must not be kept."
Fu Xiuyi smiled brightly, stared at Pei Lang and said, "Sir, what I said is exactly what I want. I still have some things to do. I'll go down, sir, and I will discuss with him if there are important matters."
Pei Lang nodded and said yes, then turned around and left.
But he didn't see that Fu Xiuyi, who was behind him, was staring at Pei Lang's back, and his eyes flashed with a shadow.
…
The news that Shen Wan's family was imprisoned was known to everyone, and naturally it also spread to the Prince Qin's mansion. In front of the stone table in the garden, Shen Yue was stunned when she heard the words, but Huangfu Hao glanced at the spy who came to report and asked, "Oh? Is the whole government really imprisoned?"
"It's absolutely true," the spy said, "I heard that the emperor was very angry, this time to put the crime to death?"
Huangfu Hao turned to see Shen Yue's expression. In addition to being surprised, Shen Yue was a little unbelievable, but the only thing missing was sadness and sadness. Involuntarily, the words Chen Rouqiu said to her that day appeared in her mind again. At that time, Shen Yue felt that there was something in Chen Rouqiu's words. Could it be that the achievements of the Shen family today are all because of Chen Rouqiu? Shen Yue didn't dare to let Huangfu Hao notice her emotions, so she pretended to lower her head, showing a look of grief, and said, "How could it be..."
"It's just that it's not good, how could Emperor Wen Hui raid his house? I'm afraid it's not for this reason." Huangfu Hao smiled: "I'm afraid there is another reason." After he finished speaking, he looked at Shen Yue and asked, "Yue'er think Are you going to see Lord Shen?"
Shen Yue was startled and stammered: "Going now, I'm afraid it will make my father sad and cause trouble to His Highness, no, no need..."
Shen's house raided her house. She was a woman married to the "Wang family", so she was not implicated. But if people find out that Shen Yue is still there, who knows if she will be locked up together. When the catastrophe was imminent, they flew separately. The Shen family was ruthless towards Shen Yue, and Shen Yue had no morals towards the Shen family. For fear that he would be implicated and it was too late to avoid, where would they come together eagerly
Hearing this, Huangfu Hao didn't bother about this issue, he just smiled. Shen Yue breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. After Huangfu Hao left, Shen Yue thought about writing a letter to Chen Rouqiu and asked Chen Rouqiu if this was related to Chen Rouqiu
Although there were still some fears and fears in her heart, seeing the entire Shen family in prison, Shen Yue felt a little gloating in her heart. Especially Chang Zaiqing, the woman who had occupied her mother's position, now she doesn't have to suffer with Shen Wan. Thinking like this, Shen Yue felt that she could be Huangfu Hao's concubine, not so lowly, and even a little complacent. If she stayed in the Shen residence, she would be the one who went to jail together now.
Shen Yue thought so, but on the second day, a secret news broke out in the Ding capital. This secret news was like a stone thrown into the water, causing thousands of waves. Let the people watching the fun outside find new interesting stories again, and they are talking non-stop on the streets and alleys, and people are talking about it.
It also made the Shen family completely a joke after a meal for passersby.
