Chapter 338 Salt Patrol Censor
When Mrs. Sheng heard about Aunt Kang's experience, she called Mrs. Sheng in front of her and scolded her, telling her to have less contact with Aunt Kang to avoid becoming the target of other people's ambitions.
It's just that Mrs. Sheng saw that Wang Yue was well-informed and reminded her out of good intentions. However, after Mrs. Sheng was reprimanded, she felt that she was embarrassed because of her age, so she complained to Aunt Kang.
Aunt Kang couldn't find anyone to worry about at the moment. When Madam Shanda said this, Aunt Kang started to hold a grudge.
Within a few days, Wang Yue received the news from the secret guard, saying that Aunt Kang asked the Qi Da steward of the Kang Mansion to find an alchemy Taoist priest and secretly brew some oleander liquid with unknown intentions.
Wang Yue rolled his eyes. He had been influenced by Ah Zi who followed him for a while, and he had learned many methods of poisoning. He also knew a lot about the poison formula.
However, at this time, Wang Yue still felt that those poisons were of no use. It would be better to use the method he learned from the Murong family to repay the poison.
So, Wang Yue ordered someone to pour some of the oleander liquid prepared by Aunt Kang into Aunt Kang's mouth. This amount would only cause coma at most, which meant he wanted to warn Aunt Kang.
But within a few days, Wang Yue received news that Aunt Kang died unexpectedly on the day she was given oleander liquid.
When Minglan got the news, she felt incredible. She knew that Wang Yue would take action, but when she just heard that there was a fire at Aunt Kang's house and her legs were broken at the same time, she thought that the matter was settled like this, but she didn't expect that Wang Yue would take action. Yue actually killed Aunt Kang.
This made Minglan a little confused. Could it be that Wang Yue's benevolent appearance was just an act? She thought of Wang Yue's treatment of Sun's mother and son, but that time he only let them mine for a period of time. Compared with the effect, the man named Sun is now starting to make progress, and he has done good things, but why is he so ruthless this time?
As the person next to him, how could Wang Yue not notice the change in Minglan's expression? After thinking about it for a moment, he understood the reason. He held Minglan in his arms and said with a smile, "It's because you are worried about your mother Kang." Thinking?"
Minglan nodded. She didn't ask clearly about this matter, and it was really uncomfortable to hold it in her heart. She thought about it for a moment, and then she mustered up the courage to say to Wang Yue, "Aunt Kang is indeed hateful, but she can't be punished until death."
Wang Yue was a little dumbfounded. Minglan didn’t know what Aunt Kang was planning to do. Otherwise, she would definitely be more ruthless than herself. But it’s just that this thing had already been done, and she definitely couldn’t take the blame. He smiled and said, “You won’t Do you really think that I took your Aunt Kang’s life?”
After Wang Yue finished speaking, he saw the look in Minglan's eyes. He was a little speechless and quickly explained, "Aunt Kang made some family peach juice liquid and boiled it. I don't know. Who is going to be harmed, but I think it’s very likely to be Mrs. Sheng.”
Minglan knew that Wang Yue would not be innocent. After listening to Wang Yue's words, she sat up directly. Her face no longer had a gentle look, but there was a hint of cruelty. She asked angrily, "Old lady and It doesn’t matter to her, why would she do this?”
Wang Yue glanced at Minglan and said with a smile, "It's not like you don't know how much the old lady loves you. After you told the old lady last time, she said she wouldn't embarrass the lady, but in fact she was still admonishing her. After saying a few words, when your Aunt Kang broke her leg, Madam Shanda went to Kang's house. Not long after she left, Aunt Kang started brewing that poisonous juice. Guess who the poisonous juice was prepared for. "
Minglan was a little frightened and trembling all over. She asked in fear, "Why are you doing this? Why are you doing this?"
Wang Yue gently supported Minglan's back, comforted her, and then said, "I asked Aunt Kang to pour some of the oleander liquid she brewed into her body. However, the amount is not fatal at all." , leading to coma at most, why do you think Aunt Kang died?"
Minglan's eyes widened, and she asked in disbelief, "You mean, Uncle Kang did this? I heard that on the day of the accident, he was the first to find Aunt Kang unconscious, but he didn't rescue her."
Wang Yue shook his head and said with some uncertainty, "It might be him, and the probability is very high, but I can't say for sure. What if someone else entered Aunt Kang's yard first and took the opportunity to kill Aunt Kang? Maybe."
After hearing this, Minglan was silent for a while. He sighed, and then said, "I have heard that Aunt Kang is doing evil at home, abusing her children and concubines. I think these people may seize the opportunity. Revengeful."
Wang Yue saw that Minglan looked a little sad, so he quickly comforted her, "Let's not worry about these troubles. You just know that there will be no Aunt Kang in the future to provoke the eldest lady."
After Minglan felt relieved, she felt that the matter should be over by then. But what she didn't expect was that within a few days, Minglan's maternal grandmother found the Sheng family and said that Aunt Kang was sending food to Minglan. After the two concubines, things happened one after another in the family, and Wang Yue was asked to give an explanation.
Sheng Hong was always dwarfed in front of his daughter-in-law's family. Now that he heard that it had nothing to do with the Sheng family, he quickly sent people to Wang Yue's house, called Wang Yue and Minglan over, and asked them to confront him.
Wang Yue and Minglan were not stupid, so of course they couldn't admit that they did it. Besides, they really didn't kill this person.
But Mrs. Wang seemed to have the same temper as Aunt Kang, so she identified Wang Yue and bit her to death, making Wang Yue wonder, did the old lady think he was easier to bully?
However, Wang Yue didn't pay attention to their behavior. After all, it was not the right time to teach them a lesson. What Wang Yue didn't expect was that within a few days, before he could take action, the Wang family would take action against him.
In the court, King Huan reported to the Emperor that the salt tax was somewhat unclear and hoped that the Emperor would order a thorough investigation.
This was a rather hot-button matter. The emperor asked the ministers who was willing to investigate the salt tax, but there was no answer. At this moment, Sheng Hong's brother-in-law suddenly appeared.
The emperor thought that Uncle Wang took the initiative to ask for the imperial examination, so he said with a smile, "It's rare that Wang Aiqing takes the initiative to ask for the imperial examination, so this matter..."
Brother-in-law Wang broke into a cold sweat after hearing what the official said. He quickly said loudly, "Your Majesty, I have someone to recommend."
The official rolled his eyes. The guy gasped and could only ask, "I wonder who you are going to recommend?"
Brother-in-law Wang laughed sarcastically, and then said in an extremely serious tone, "We should not avoid relatives when promoting talents. I think that Wang Yue, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, is young and promising, and is very suitable to take on this task."
From the beginning with Brother-in-law Wang, several people who were close to him immediately stood up to support him for unknown reasons, with all kinds of strange reasons.
Immediately afterwards, even Han Xianggong also supported it. Seeing this situation, others recommended Wang Yue, the unlucky guy.
Originally, Wang Anshi was prepared to object when he saw this situation. However, when he saw Wang Yue's calm and calm look, he stopped talking. Other ministers who had good relations with Wang Yue also remained silent.
King Heng looked at Wang Yue apologetically. He originally just raised this issue to let the ministers think of a solution, but who knew it would turn out to be this situation.
All civil and military officials in the dynasty saw this shortcoming, but no one was willing to touch this interest group. Thinking of the reforms presided over by Wang Yue, which were now being carried out with great success, he seemed to see a glimmer of hope, so King Heng did not speak out to object. .
When Wang Yue saw this situation, he knew that this matter could not be avoided. He rolled his eyes and no one asked him what he thought. This unfortunate task fell to him.
In fact, Wang Yue was calm and calm just now. When he heard about Yan Zheng, he subconsciously thought of Dream of Red Mansions.
Sister Lin's father was the censor of the salt patrol, and in the end everyone in the family died. Wang Yue felt that whoever took over this job would be facing the same situation as Father Lin.
It is said that Father Lin died of poisoning. He was thinking that if he traveled to Dream of Red Mansions, he would have to change the ending of Sister Lin.
Just when Wang Yue fell into endless reverie, he didn't expect that the errand would fall on him.
So, I’m telling you, when you’re in a meeting, you have to pay more attention, otherwise, you don’t know what will happen.
After the matter was settled, King Heng felt a little guilty towards Wang Yue. After all, it was their Zhao family that had the power, but Wang Yue had to take risks and reform again and again, so King Heng had to thank Wang Yue again.
But his way of thanking him was very special. He heard that the two beauties Wang Yue gave him were trained to be singers, so he sent several singers and dancers to Wang Yue.
Minglan was very surprised when she looked at the suddenly full private singing and dancing troupe. She asked doubtfully, "What's going on with King Heng? Why did he send you so many more beauties? Is it because the other two beauties have something to do?" "
Wang Yue looked at Minglan, who was worried, and said with a smile, "It's not what you think. King Heng caused a big trouble today, but it fell on me. He feels guilty and wants to express his gratitude."
Minglan glanced at Wang Yue suspiciously, and then asked tentatively, "Listen to your description, other ministers know how to hide, why did you come next?"
Wang Yue couldn't tell his wife that he was distracted in the previous court, so he could only coax with a smile, "Aunt Kang's eldest brother recommended me today, and then when the Fujian Road reform was carried out, all the ministers who offended him had to stand up and support him one by one. opinions, as if I am the only one who can handle this errand, and there is nothing I can do about it.”
Minglan's eyes widened when she heard that the court boss was really shameless. She said angrily, "How could they do this? Who in the capital doesn't know what kind of virtue Aunt Kang is? Why are you still embarrassment like this? .”
Wang Yue rubbed Minglan's eyebrows and said with a smile, "Without the protection of the Wang family, Aunt Kang would not have been so unscrupulous, so I am ready to take revenge. When the next court comes, I will take advantage of Aunt Kang's eldest brother in these years." Some evidence has been sent to the Kaifeng government office. I think Mrs. Wang may have to leave Tokyo with her son again."
After hearing this, Minglan's brows widened as expected. She nodded and said with a smile, "That's good. With them here, the Sheng family will be uneasy. It's just that my husband has to deal with the salt administration. Trouble makes me very uneasy."
Wang Yue waved his hand indifferently and said with a smile, "I killed so many people in Quanzhou, it was still a bit of a deterrent. I think those moths will still do the same thing. I will continue, you don't have to worry, your husband." Don’t you understand what I’m capable of?”
