The real daughter is really not a human being

So that night, when Lord Li and his family were preparing to rest, the main gate was suddenly knocked by a group of imperial guards.

Lord Li, in a panic, wearing only his pajamas and without even combing his hair, ran into Eunuch Tian, ​​the chief eunuch of the palace, who had broken into the backyard.

Could it be that he wrote too harshly in the memorial yesterday, angering His Majesty, and now he is here to confiscate his property? Or was it that the Lord he impeached framed him!

Lord Li was extremely panicked at the moment, his mind went blank!

"Sir Li, sorry to bother you!" Eunuch Tian smiled.

The eunuch's smile made Lord Li even more uneasy.

"Hello, sir. I wonder why you have visited me so late at night?" Lord Li asked with a stern face, ready to sacrifice his life for justice.

Eunuch Tian smiled even more brightly and said, "It's not a big deal, but it's not a small matter either..."

Everyone in the Li family trembled with fear after hearing this.

"Today, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory reported that something was not right with the celestial phenomena. A comet landed in the west, disrupting the world's order and affecting the people's harvest next year..."

Lord Li sneered in his heart: What a great Imperial Observatory! They are telling lies to confuse the emperor!

"Since this concerns the people, Your Majesty was extremely cautious and asked the Imperial Observatory for a solution. But the Imperial Observatory's supervisor said that the problem could be solved by slightly changing the structure of the capital. The key lies in you, Lord Li..."

Imperial Observatory, I, Li Xinru, will not let you go even if I become a ghost! The other censors will not let you go either! Li Xinru thought angrily.

"His Majesty asked me to visit Mr. Li's house at night and ask you to move. His Majesty gave you the house next to Prince Shou in Dingkang Lane. He hopes that you, Mr. Li, will move there as soon as possible for the sake of the country. The Queen has sent a large group of palace maids, eunuchs and imperial guards to help you move..."

Imperial Astronomical Observatory...

What good officials they are!

Li Xinru sighed silently, not knowing which adult was so kind to him and mentioned his name.

The courtyards in Dingkang Lane are not ordinary. Most of them are reserved for future princes and princesses to use when they go out of the palace, and secondly for some dukes and relatives of aristocratic families. The courtyards there are only slightly larger than theirs, and the environment is even more quiet, and they are closer to the road to court.

So after going through so much trouble, Your Majesty gave him a bigger mansion?

It doesn’t seem unacceptable!

The children and grandchildren of the Li family who were kneeling behind him were also a little confused. Was it a dream? A blessing from heaven in the middle of the night?

Seeing that Li Xinru didn't say anything, Eunuch Tian added fuel to the fire: "This is the emperor's order, do you want to disobey it, Lord Li?"

"Your Excellency is too kind. I was just wondering if this is against the rules."

"This is the biggest rule when it comes to the people of the world."

"Then Li will obey your order..."

So, the Left Vice-Minister of the Imperial Censorate began to move overnight.

Not only did the people from the Li family join in the battle, but even the maids and old women in the mansion were called upon to wake up. Rows of lanterns were hung in the mansion and were not extinguished all night long.

There were not many people in Li's house. There were more than seventy people including the master and servants. It would take more than one night to move all the stuff with so many people.

So the thoughtful queen also sent a large number of palace maids and eunuchs to help clean up.

The carriage frames were all available. After the yard was tidied up, the servants carried them outside and the carriage frames of the Imperial Guards were transported directly to Dingkang Lane.

But the noise of moving in the middle of the night disturbed the neighbors.

The servants guarding the gates of the left and right mansions came out and saw that the gates were full of imperial guards! They were still carrying things and were about to be raided!

Go back and report to your master immediately!

It's His Majesty's Royal Guards who are ransacking the house!

What? The house they raided was that of Lord Li, the Left Vice-Minister of the Imperial Censorate!

Didn't they say that censors should not be moved? Your Majesty, do you want to be a tyrant?

Your Majesty even confiscated the houses of the censors, let alone them? Who knows, I might be the next one?

The Wei family was right next door to the Li family, and there was a big commotion in the house next door, so it was impossible for the people in the Wei family not to know about it.

If it was just a common case of disturbing someone's sleep, they could still send servants to persuade them, or their elders would go out and give advice in a friendly manner.

But who would dare to take the risk of the Imperial Guards raiding their homes? If they said a few words, they might be charged with disobeying the Emperor's order.

The whole family was here, so they could be killed in one pot. They were like quails, not saying a word.

Wei Pengyan, in particular, couldn't sleep all night.

Wei Pengyan is the head of the Wei family. He holds the fifth-rank official position and is in charge of the Du Shui Si. He is also a doctor of the Du Shui Si.

The Dushuisi was originally the yamen of the Ministry of Works, but later it was dismantled. Under the six ministries, there are too many fifth-rank officials like him. His rank sounds good, but he does a lot of work, but has little real power. When he goes out to drink with the adults of the same rank, he has to sit at the end of the table.

Wei Pengyan is fifty-three years old this year. He doesn’t know how many years he can live, let alone when he can get a promotion.

Don't just give up hope of promotion and kill your whole family!

Isn’t Mr. Li next door a good example?

I don't know what he did to anger His Majesty and cause His Majesty to confiscate his property overnight. Lord Li has a good reputation, so how did he suddenly get caught?

Wei Pengyan thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, but one thing was very important: he must be careful with his words and actions and not let the emperor catch him, otherwise he would lose his fifth-rank official position.

If the Imperial Censorate could fall, how could he fall? There were too many people who could replace him.

So Wei Pengyan picked up a pen and wrote down his omissions in the court and the government office to make sure that he had not done anything wrong. He also called all the men in the Wei family and gave them a beating.

After knocking, hearing the noisy noise next door, Wei Pengyan saw that his sons didn't say much. Thinking that they had to go to the yamen to be on duty tomorrow, he let them all go down.

When Wei Pengyan was about to wash his face, he suddenly remembered something!

What his nephew told him about the things in the backyard today!

He was very disappointed with his nephew Wei Pengyan. It was obvious that his nephew had the greatest talent and was good at poetry and prose, but he was not interested in a career in politics and was determined to resign!

He had advised Wei Qichen several times to return to the court, but Wei Qichen turned a deaf ear to him.

So Wei Pengyan has been very nice to him over the years.

His nephew came to see him yesterday and told him about what happened in the rear house. After listening to it, he felt that his daughter-in-law was foolish, but he didn't take it to heart.

He also told his wife to return the silver.

Seeing his wife's unhappy face, Wei Pengyan knew that she was unhappy. But if the news of asking the second wife for money to live got out, how could he survive in the officialdom?

Not to mention that people would think that his Wei family was in decline, there might even be censors who would come out and accuse him of not managing his household properly and bullying loyal and good people. The son of the second branch of the family died while helping the current emperor control floods!

The more he thought about this, the more worried Wei Pengyan became.

When it was dawn, he went to beat his wife and even had his eldest daughter-in-law, Yu, called over.

Just make it clear in front of them!

He is in a difficult situation in the court, and the harem must not hold him back! If His Majesty knew that the Wei family treated their relatives like this, their fate might be the same as the Li family next door! Deal with the family affairs quickly! Don't delay!

It was the first time in Yu's life that she was scolded by her father-in-law, so she didn't dare to say much.

Even if Song was foolish, she would not dare to hinder the future of her husband and son. Money can be earned again, but promotion is not so easy.

After Wei Pengchun left, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were still in the room, one sitting and the other kneeling.
