Chapter 537 Inside Story
The turmoil in the temple is never just a blow in the Wanmin Palace, and it will disperse when it goes out of the palace gate, and it has never been a joke.
The fact that Pang Ban, the Commander of Xuanqing Guard, was ordered by the emperor to have a five-day deadline at the court meeting has already become an uproar. Except for the common people on the street, everyone who is well-informed has heard about it and is curiously waiting to watch the play.
At this time, no one dared to speak indiscriminately. Obviously this time is another round of contest between the civil servants and Xuan Qingwei, the winner or loser is unknown, rashly joining in a certain direction and talking nonsense is easy to be missed, and whispering behind closed doors in a small circle or at home is not bad.
And the center of the incident was the Qin family. If it's mainly to watch the fun outside, then the Qin family's life and death are at stake.
Looking at the Qin family's mansion, which has been guarded as a pig cage now, you can know the current situation of the Qin family. Under normal circumstances, how dare Xuan Qingwei blatantly surround the mansion of a dignified fourth-rank official? Being so arrogant now is completely treating the Qin family as dead.
But even though he was nervous, for three days in a row, the Xuanqing guards just surrounded him and didn't take a step forward. At the same time, it will not restrict the people of the Qin family from entering and leaving the mansion, but those who come out will be followed, but they are not allowed to use the teleportation circle or go out of the city.
This situation of staying still is very puzzling. You must know that the news from the previous temple has been spread in these three days. The five-day deadline given by the emperor is not a joke.
Could it be that Xuan Qingwei encountered some troubles and couldn't move forward? !
This kind of thought became more and more surging in the afternoon of the third day. The Qin family saw the hope of life, and the civil servants who watched with bared teeth also saw the hope. There are still two days, and we will see the outcome in two days!
It was still the small courtyard hidden in the imperial city.
Shen Hao didn't toss any hard dishes today, but ordered himself a bowl of plain noodles for lunch. Standing opposite is still Zhang Liao. This guy brought his own meatloaf today, so he didn't go to join in the noodle fun with Shen Hao.
"So Qin Yurou and Chen Youwen really have friendship? And it's not normal?" Shen Hao took a big mouthful, and while chewing, he asked Zhang Liao vaguely.
"Yes, my lord, the sugar shops around Baideng Mountain have been operated by a new group of people, most of them are taken over by some local gentry and government shops. But the people inside have not changed much. Some veterans are in the shop. People who have worked in this industry for more than ten years or even decades, when asked, many people can think of a person named Chen Youwen here many years ago.
Back then, Chen Youwen had a lot of empty talk to talk about in the sugar shop, but at that time there was the Wen family, and those who knew the situation were silent, now that the Wen family is exterminated, these people have made it clear for the sake of money."
In fact, the Impermanence Department sent by Zhang Liao did not have enough manpower, and they even borrowed some people from the Ghost Department. Otherwise, I don’t know how long it would take to collect these scattered news.
According to the news obtained by Zhang Liao, there was such a news that a noble lady in Wen's family fell in love with a small sugar worker with a strong body and a mature and serious face. This little worker is actually quite old, he was almost fifty at the time, and it is usually difficult to achieve success after learning so late, but he was always taken care of, all the way from a handyman to a core apprentice, and he was even able to make sugar by himself in a pot for more than a year , And it usually takes five or six years of familiarity to have a chance.
This little worker is Chen Youwen.
And the lady in the rumor is Qin Yurou, the head of the Wen family.
This kind of thing has been spread in the small circle of the sugar shop from the beginning, and it won't be the first time. But no one felt envious at the time. Because the person who was gossiping with "a certain lady of the Wen family" has disappeared. Some people say that they have seen corpses in mass graves and haystacks in the wilderness. It's not a good thing to get in the way of knowing that getting involved with that lady is not a good thing.
Later, Chen Youwen really disappeared after learning most of the sugar making skills in the second year. People around Baideng who knew about it all said that Chen Youwen was dead. Now if someone hadn't asked about it, they might have forgotten about this "little worker" who appeared and disappeared in a hurry near Baideng.
Ordinary people might think this kind of thing sounds like a fairy tale, that the headed wife of the Xiu clan would go out and mess around? The subject is still a low-level laborer? But in Shen Hao's eyes, this kind of thing is really not uncommon.
From the outside, it seems that the red walls are full of masters, and those who are not inside will always attach their best life wishes to them and imagine themselves, so they feel that the red walls are full of beauty.
And those who know a little about the world inside those high-ranking red walls will not associate the inside world with "beautiful", the inside and the outside are the same. What is bright is dirty.
There are too many unsatisfactory marriages due to marriage, not to mention the combination of a high-ranking monk and an ordinary woman who cannot practice. The huge gap in this is beyond the imagination of outsiders. The decay of a single body is very realistic: a monk in his seventies or eighties can still toss in bed two or three times a night, and ordinary people will wet their shoes when they pee at that age, there is no comparison. It's not a joke that an ordinary woman's face is easy to age.
But from another angle, on the one hand, it is being disgusted by others, and on the other hand, it is the outside world where you can get whatever you want, no matter men or women, it is hard to say that you can keep yourself clean.
Shen Hao knows that there are many so-called noble ladies who come out to look for little wolf dogs and local dogs. Otherwise, how can the small hall for female guests in the flower building be so popular?
"So the relationship between Chen Youwen and Qin Yurou is likely to be mistress?" Shen Hao finished a bowl of noodles, and continued to listen with interest while drinking the noodle soup.
"Yes, my lord. But everyone in the Wen family is dead, and no one who really understands the truth is currently available. We can only learn some bits and pieces from the old man in the sugar shop. But what is certain is that Chen Youwen did indeed have a relationship with Qin Yurou. In addition, it was Qin Yurou who greeted the local sugar shop so that Chen Youwen could learn in the sugar shop for two years what others could only learn in five or six years, and finally became a master of sugar making.
In addition, news came back from the Jinfengyuan workshop in the imperial city, saying that the reason why Chen Youwen was able to become a sugar master as soon as he entered was because he followed the path of the Qin family, but it was not Qin Yurou who came forward, but a steward of the Qin family. Yes, it's called Huang Ping. "
"Huang Ping? Are you still in the Qin family?"
"Yes, I have always been there. Now I am the foreign affairs steward of the Qin family's big house, and her status is quite high."
"Foreign affairs? That means you can often meet outside? Find a chance to bring him back for interrogation, and see if Chen Youwen's entry into Jinfengyuan is Qin Yurou's help.
In addition, Chen Youwen's line can start to list the dossiers. "
