The Red Mansion's Doting Wife Maniac

In the morning of the next day, Chen Yun was ordered to come to him after he had finished his physical training.

"The uncle ordered the younger one to come and ask the second master if he is ready."

Chen Yun excused, "When I take a shower and change my clothes, I'll go find my elder brother."

"Yes." After washing the ink and returning to the command, Chen Yun asked someone to prepare water quickly, and then took a shower and changed clothes within a quarter of an hour. The weather in early autumn was still very hot, and Chen Yun was only wearing a thin green shirt, which made people wonder I have prepared a set of strong clothes, and I will change them when I go hunting.

When going out, Chen Yun was about to ride a horse, but was stopped by his elder brother, "No need to ride a horse."

"Aren't you going to hunt?" Chen Yun asked suspiciously.

Chen Yunxian said with a smile, "If you want to hunt, you have to go home to rest and go out to meet friends. You don't need to bring these things. Wash the ink and take it back for the second master."

Chen Yunxian handed over the clothes that Chen Yun borrowed to Ximo.

When he was away from home, Chen Yunjue's experience was definitely not as good as Chen Yunxian's, so he didn't express any objection.

The two brothers got into the carriage, driven by Fu Rong.

"Are we going to Uncle Zhongyong's mansion?" Chen Yun asked, Chen Yunxian shook his head, "We are not going to Uncle Zhongyong's mansion."

"Ah?" Chen Yun was puzzled, "Doesn't Uncle Sheng live in Uncle Zhongyong's mansion? If we don't go to Uncle Zhongyong's mansion, where will we meet?"

"Let's go to the Biezhuang on the outskirts of the city to meet." Chen Yunxian said, "Whether it's me or Qinghan, it's very eye-catching when we go out. In order to avoid trouble, we went to meet each other at the Biezhuang on the outskirts of Beijing."

Chen Yun was puzzled, "Uncle Sheng is not what it used to be, why do you have to be so secretive when you meet?"

"Because Qinghan wants to take the No. [-] Scholar exam." Chen Yunxian sighed.

He is the first number one scholar in this dynasty to win six consecutive awards. Even though Sheng Qinghan has become an uncle now, in the eyes of many people, Sheng Qinghan's status is still far inferior to him.

If they meet each other, don't hide it, even if Sheng Qinghan wins the exam and wins the number one scholar in the future, it will be regarded as relying on him.

Sheng Qinghan was proud, he wanted to clear his name. m.bīQikμ.ИěT.

"These people can only gossip, but they can't ignore it." Chen Yun sighed.

Chen Yunxian smiled slightly, "Sooner or later, they will be dealt with."

The imperial court gave too many exceptions to these scholars, so that for thousands of years, these scholars have shouted loudly, but once they passed the exam, they became some corrupt officials, and there were not many good officials who really served the people.

Chen Yun borrowed the words to give some wax to those sour scholars who have been nagging all day long.

His eldest brother is afraid that he has been eyeing these people very early, but he has to slowly plan to shake the foundation of these scholars.

Even the emperor dared not talk about the interests of these country gentlemen.

Once upon a time, aristocratic families became malignant tumors, but now... these country gentlemen and noble families are not too far behind.

The carriage staggered out of the city, and then stopped in a manor built in a dense forest.

As soon as he got off the carriage, someone from the garden came to pick him up.

Chen Yunjue got out of the carriage first, and the servant who came to pick him up saw Chen Yunjue, and was stunned for a while, and only reacted when Chen Yunxian got off the carriage.

"Mr. Chen, please come inside. Uncle has been waiting for a long time."

Chen Yunxian greeted his younger brother and entered the manor together.

This manor occupies a large area, with pavilions, terraces and pavilions in the garden, mountains and rivers and rockery, it is worth a lot of money at first glance.

"Did Uncle Sheng buy this? Does it cost a lot of money?" Chen Yun clicked his tongue.

Chen Yunxian said with a smile, "This is a reward from the emperor."

"So it seems that the emperor likes Uncle Sheng quite a bit?" Chen Yun asked unexpectedly.

Chen Yunxian said, "This garden is of great value to you, but to the emperor who is rich in the world, it is nothing more than a drop in the bucket."

The implication is, brother, you think too much.

Chen Yunjue: "..."

"Brother Yingcai, we meet again..." The young and handsome Sheng Qinghan came out of the garden and greeted with a smile. When he saw Chen Yunjue, he still smiled, "This is brother Yingcai's younger brother, right? It's a talent."

Chen Yunxian smiled and said, "It's my brother, where is Xiuyun?"

"I'm fishing inside." Sheng Qinghan said with a smile.

Chen Yun saluted with a smile, "Uncle Sheng."

Sheng Qinghan was slightly taken aback, and then laughed, "There's no need to be polite, I'm a good friend with your elder brother, you can just call me Brother Qinghan. Uncle's name is a little strange."

Chen Yun changed his words in a polite manner, "Brother Qing Han."

"That's right, let's go inside and talk." Sheng Qinghan led the two into the garden.

There is a large pond in the manor, and many fish are raised in it. Chen Yun has already seen several koi while walking on the path beside the pond.

A gazebo was built by the pool, and Xie Xiuyun lazily leaned on the deck chair of the gazebo to fish.

"Xie Xiuyun." Chen Yunxian called out helplessly.

Xie Xiuyun came back to his senses, turned his head to see Chen Yunjue, quickly threw away the fishing rod, and turned over, "Yunjue is here too? Brother Yingcai is not kind, and you don't want to tell us when you bring your younger brother."

"It doesn't make any difference whether you say it or not. Let's all sit down." Chen Yunxian sat down first.

Chen Yun sits next to his elder brother.

Sheng Qinghan sat on the other side of Chen Yunxian, and Xie Xiuyun could only sit opposite to Chen Yunxian, each on one side.

After they sat down, someone brought the food and wine to them.

"Do you want to drink?" Xie Xiuyun asked.

Chen Yun shook his head, "Don't drink."

"You're twelve too, right? It's time to learn how to drink..." Xie Xiuyun asked someone to fetch the fruit wine, "The fruit wine is mild and won't make you intoxicated after drinking it. You should like it."

Xie Xiuyun ordered people to get the wine, and someone immediately went to get it, which shows that they come here often, and the people in this manor are very obedient to him.

Chen Yunxian didn't stop Xie Xiuyun, after a while, the fruit wine was brought, Xie Xiuyun poured a glass of fruit wine for Chen Yun, "Come on, Yun Zhe, taste this taste, if you don't like it, drink tea."

Chen Yunjue had never drank fruit wine before, and after taking a sip, it tasted sweet.

"How is it? Do you like it?" Xie Xiuyun asked with a smile.

Chen Yun smiled at him, "It's very sweet."

Like the juice used to coax children, the taste of wine is very weak.

"Looks like I like it. I'll give you this bottle. Let me tell you, brother Qinghan has a lot of good wine here. If you like it, bring some more when you go back later." Xie Xiuyun said with a smile.

Sheng Qinghan scolded with a smile, "You're used to taking my things as favors..." He said and looked at Yunyu, "You're welcome if you like it, we are best friends with your elder brother, and his younger brother is our younger brother, so don't be cautious."

Chen Yun also felt the kindness of these two brothers.

When he saw Xiuyun last time, he felt a little uncomfortable. It's because this person is too striking. See you today. Although he still looks the same, he is much more comfortable getting along with him.

"Thank you two brothers." Chen Yun said with a smile.

Chen Yunxian also poured himself a glass of wine, and the three chatted for a while about what they had heard recently. Xie Xiuyun glanced at Chen Yunju who was drinking fruit wine, and then at Chen Yunxian.

Facing Chen Yunxian's gaze, Xie Xiuyun was a little surprised, his eyes widened slightly.

Looking at each other for a moment, after confirming that Chen Yunxian did not mean to avoid Chen Yunjuan, he put down his wine glass, "Yingcai, there is news about the matter you asked me to check last time."

Chen Yun was attracted by these words, and couldn't help but look at him.

Chen Yunxian took a sip of wine, and said calmly, "What's the result?"

"The Lu family has been greedy for money from the river course. The amount is huge. The embankment built in the past two years may not be able to stop the flood season at all." Xie Xiuyun said with a serious expression.

The reason why he exchanged eyes with Chen Yunxian before was because Chen Yunjue was good friends with the son of the Lu family, and he was afraid that it would be revealed.

But he trusted Chen Yunxian, since Chen Yunxian didn't mean to avoid his younger brother, then Chen Yunjue was credible.

Chen Yunjue's eyes widened suddenly.

River?

The imperial court spends a huge amount of silver on the river every year to repair the embankment, because once the embankment is washed away, countless people will die in the flood. The flood is ruthless, and it is impossible to save it.

Did the Lu family eat leopard guts?How dare you covet the money of Mohe Road?

Chen Yunxian was not surprised by this, "You also know that my aunt's husband is Mr. Lin, the Minister of the Household Department. At the beginning of the year, when the imperial court had just opened the seal, Mr. Lin came to me in private, suspecting that someone was greedy for money from Mohe Road.

But he was stared at by people in the household department, and he couldn't take the initiative to investigate. There is no evidence for this matter and he cannot be reported to the imperial court, so please entrust me to investigate. I have been investigating for a long time, but also because there is no evidence, I entrust you to investigate the Lu family. All the money that has been spent in the Lu family these years has come from this. "

In fact, Sheng Qinghan and Xie Xiuyun already knew this information a long time ago, and now that they have explained it in such detail, it is clear that they are explaining it to his brother.

Chen Yun could not help thinking back to these years, Lu Yongyuan's food and clothing expenses were really good, but because his family was already rich, Chen Yun did not think much about it.

Listening to what Chen Yunxian said now, when he thinks of Lu Yongyuan now, he seems to see the wailing of the victims.

"Lord Lu is only a small number of people who are greedy for ink. The governor of Hedao got the big head. I obtained a ledger from the governor of Hedao. There are too many people involved in it. Once it is revealed, blood will flow into rivers." Xie Xiuyun's expression was a little uncomfortable. good.

Chen Yunxian stretched out his hand, "Give me the ledger."

Seeing Chen Yunxian begging for the account book, Xie Xiuyun frowned, "Have you thought about it? If this gets out, it will be much more serious than the salt tax case two years ago."

"Think it over, bring it here." When Chen Yunxian wanted to investigate from the beginning, he didn't intend to be perfunctory.

Chen Yun was stupefied for a long time, and finally came to his senses, "Wait, wait, brother, is the river you mentioned the Huai'an side?"

Chen Yunxian nodded, "I've been investigating this matter since February, but I was confined in the capital and couldn't find any evidence. I had to ask Xiu Yun to help me investigate in Jiangsu. Now I finally have evidence."

"The Lu family is crazy. That's the money to repair the embankment. If this is found out, the family will be ransacked and exterminated."

Sheng Qinghan smiled softly, "Brother Yunjue, you never know how greedy a person is. There are many crimes of ransacking the family and exterminating the clan, but there are still people who follow suit. Why? Because of profit."

Facing so much money, there are only a few who can not be tempted.

Chen Yun calmed down by taking a sip of fruit wine.

It was yesterday that he and Lu Yongyuan fell out, and his elder brother asked him to see Sheng Qinghan the day before yesterday. Did his elder brother deliberately take advantage of this opportunity to let him see the face of the Lu family clearly and stay away from the Lu family?

It's just that he didn't expect that before his elder brother revealed the true face of the Lu family, he would fall out with Lu Yongyuan because of other things.

No wonder his elder brother didn't feel angry at all after he told his elder brother yesterday.

According to his elder brother's temper, he definitely wanted to deal with Lu Yongyuan, but he didn't this time.

Now it seems that his elder brother has long decided to take over the entire Lu family, and there will be no eggs under the nest, so what good will happen to Lu Yongyuan?

"If you do too much unrighteousness, you will die yourself." Chen Yuncheng sighed faintly.
