With his hands behind his back, he ate a melon, and the country's fortune soared.
Chapter 42: The Rong Family (1)
Save the entire Daxia?
Xiao Qianqian was shocked, and Luqiao was even more shocked. She kissed the little princess' chubby little face and said, "Well, our little princess is the lucky star of Great Xia."
Before Xiao Qianqian could ask the system what was going on, a question came from outside the carriage, "Excuse me, is this the carriage of Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
Li stared at the carriage with sparkling eyes. Well, the last time the little princess left the palace, she seemed to have been riding in such a low-key carriage.
There were Royal Guards guarding the carriage again today. She saw them from afar and hurried over to ask.
Luqiao asked the eunuch to lift the curtain of the carriage, and Madam Li immediately stuck her head to look inside the carriage.
When she saw the little princess, she grinned with her big white teeth, "Oh my, it really is the little princess." She couldn't wait to get on the carriage with her hands and feet, "Oh my God, it really is the little princess."
She got into the carriage without any hesitation and gently held the little princess's hand. "Little princess, are you coming out to play? Oh, Queen, don't worry. Little princess, our Li Mansion is so much fun. Do you want to go for a stroll?"
Green curls...
Li Shangshu's wife is really a perpetual thief, always thinking about kidnapping the little princess. Lu Qiao moved to the side and said, "Madam Li, that..."
Before she finished speaking, Lin Wei came back and reported in a deep voice, "Aunt Luqiao, I have found out. The woman in the alley, Rong, is from Xinghua Village outside the capital. She married the youngest son of the Zhang family in the same village for eleven years and has a son and a daughter. Last spring, Rong's husband died of illness, and the Zhang family seized Rong's property. The Zhang family even forced Rong to marry the eldest son of the Zhang family."
Lin Wei rarely spoke so much, and took a deep breath with some discomfort, "Rong Shi didn't want to, so the Zhang family threatened to sell her two children. She came to the capital today because the fifth son of the Zhang family forced Rong Shi to agree to marry the eldest son of the Zhang family. Rong Shi refused to obey, so," she frowned in disgust, "then there was that dirty thing in the alley."
Although Madam Li didn't know what happened in the alley, she understood Lin Wei's words clearly and couldn't help but get angry. "How dare you! Where did this unruly person come from? The Queen has changed the law for more than four months. In Rong's case, she can go to the government to register a female household to inherit her deceased husband's property and raise her children alone."
She slapped the carriage wall angrily, "The Zhang family is openly defying the law. Are they tired of living?"
[That’s right,] Xiao Qianqian frowned tightly, [The Zhang family is courting death, or courting death.]
The system was helpless. [Ah, little princess, although your mother changed many laws related to women, some officials did not take them seriously at all, and there were too many who pretended to obey but secretly disobeyed.]
[That won’t do,] Xiao Qianqian suddenly laughed, [Humph, I can use this Zhang family incident as an example to scare the monkeys.]
[That’s right,] the system was relieved, [but the little princess’ Rong is very powerful. She has now developed a very efficient textile machine. Originally, she would have been killed by the five sons of the Zhang family in this dark alley.]
[The fifth son of the Zhang family even sold her two children.] The system sighed, [When the eldest son of the Rong family, Zhang Junmo, was fifteen years old, he took his sister to the State of Chu and became a very powerful weapon master in the State of Chu.]
[Really? So amazing? ]
[Yes, it's very impressive. When the Chu State launched a war against Daxia, they used the weapons researched by Zhang Junmo, and Daxia suffered heavy losses.]
【Hmm,】 Xiao Qianqian pouted, 【I feel so unhappy.】
The system sighed, [His sister is also very capable. Originally, Rong was murdered, and her textile machine was buried in the dust of history. However, Zhang Ran was influenced by his mother since he was a child, and he remembered the production method of the textile machine very clearly.]
[Later in the State of Chu, she used her mother's loom as a basis to develop a more efficient loom, which helped the economy of the State of Chu to take off by leaps and bounds.]
[Oh my god,] Xiao Qianqian was shocked, [This family is incredible, is the Rong family so powerful?]
[Yes, although the Rong family is a carpenter, their ancestors have produced some very powerful people. However,] the system sighed, [Zhang Ran's ending is not good either. His sister was a careerist, but was later forced by the King of Chu to enter the palace and become one of his many concubines.]
[Zhang Ran didn’t want to waste her youth in the harem with no way to escape. She was in too much pain. Finally, she couldn’t stand the old perverted King of Chu and committed suicide. Alas.]
Xiao Qianqian was a little angry, [What happened next? Didn't Zhang Junmo avenge his sister? ]
[It's reported, Zhang Junmo and the King of Chu died together. 】
Madam Li felt aggrieved and let out a deep breath. She took a deep breath and then asked, "Miss Luqiao, what happened?"
Lu Qiao quickly seized the opportunity, briefly explained the matter and asked, "I wonder if Madam Li is willing to help?"
Madam Li smiled softly, looking at the little princess with loving eyes, "As a woman, I know it's not easy for women in this world," she sighed softly, "Since there is no reason to ignore it, the jackal of the Zhang family is left to me. I will let my husband take action. If the Dali Temple dares to pretend to obey but secretly disobey, I will definitely tell the Queen and raid Zhu Yuan's house."
Her voice was soft and her words were spoken without reservation. Luqiao nodded. It was difficult for her to do anything with her status. It was just right to have Madam Li around.
"Then I'll trouble you, Madam Li."
Madam Li looked at the little princess with the eyes of a wolf grandmother. Lu Qiao was frightened by her eyes and her hair stood on end. She coughed dryly, "Ahem, since this happened today, I'd better take the little princess back to the palace as soon as possible and let the imperial physician take a look at her. Don't scare the little princess."
Mrs. Li felt a little regretful when she heard this, but the little princess was just a baby after all, so she persuaded herself that there was still a lot of time left.
So he asked the two secret guards Lin Tong and Lin Wei to accompany him and bring the Rong family of three back to his own house.
That afternoon, Li Yu personally went to the Dali Temple and told the Dali Temple Minister Zhu Yuan everything about the Rong family.
Zhu Yuan is now in his fifties and has served as an official in the capital for decades. He is best at playing the role of a smooth player among the powerful and wealthy.
There was no other way. There were too many powerful people in the capital who were not to be trifled with. When Li Yu saw the kind smile on his face, he knew that this old man was going to start the "dragging" tactic again.
His face darkened, "Master Zhu, do you know what happened to King Liang, King Jing and others?"
The smile on Zhu Yuan's face froze, and Li Yu asked again, "Master Zhu, have you heard about the current relationship between His Majesty and the Queen?"
Zhu Yuan's mouth twitched and he dared not answer. Li Yu laughed and said, "The Queen has changed the law for more than a few months. There are many officials in various places who despise the law. Master Zhu," Li Yu bowed, "I advise Master Zhu to live a muddy life and take it easy. After all, the bloodstains in those princes' mansions are not dry yet."
Zhu Yuan's body suddenly stiffened and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Ten days later, the five sons of the Zhang family in Xinghua Village were beheaded in public at Caishikou in the capital, and the rest of the relevant persons were sentenced to exile three thousand miles away.
With the help of Madam Li, Rong successfully established a female household and took back the property belonging to her and her two children.
