Mr. Xue’s face suddenly became ugly.
He said: "Do you still remember how many women there are?"
Marquis Dingyuan was a little embarrassed. He didn't want to talk about this kind of thing at all. The reputation he created in the capital was due to the loving relationship between his wife Liu and his wife, and they didn't even have concubines in common, although he secretly kept two outlaws.
.But he is so secretive that he will never be exposed.
Who in the capital doesn’t say that he has deep love and righteousness? Who doesn’t say that the family tradition of Dingyuan Hou Mansion is pure and upright?
Now, you have to say such private things to a counselor? Especially when this counselor is his nephew!
He reluctantly said: "I don't know how many there are. There weren't any at first. They were arranged later. Three or four at a time. A new batch will be replaced every four or five days. There are about twenty in total."
Let’s do it!”
A burst of anger surged in Mr.
In less than four months of providing disaster relief, he slept with more than 20 women, three or four at a time!
He said that the local officials made arrangements to please him, the imperial envoy, but how could he know that the local officials would comply without his request?
"Is it just you, or are the other three also like this?"
Dingyuan Hou felt a strong conflict in his heart, but he also knew that this was the person sent by the eldest prince to solve his problem. He said solemnly: "I don't know!"
I don’t know, then we don’t do this kind of thing together.
He asked again: "How were those women placed later?"
Marquis Dingyuan felt that his tone was a bit aggressive and condescending, which made him very unhappy. He said calmly: "How do I know?" He knew that the county guard had flatteringly told him that all
Women will handle it cleanly without leaving any trace.
It was a famine at the beginning, and people were starving everywhere. The lives of dozens of women were too ordinary. I don’t know how many people died of starvation on the roadside!
As soon as Mr. Xue looked at his face, he knew what he was thinking. He sighed and said: "Master Hou, don't like to hear it. Now that one has come, the storm is about to come. If there is a second one, it will be doomed!"
”
Marquis Dingyuan said in a deep voice: "Of course not, not even this!" This seemed to open up his mind: "Could it be that this is not true, but he happened to know what happened back then, and was set up like this?
”
Mr. Xue: "..."
No, Marquis Dingyuan, you are the uncle of the eldest prince. You have always acted cautiously and steadily, and you are very successful. In the court, you can be regarded as someone who has opened up situations for the eldest prince. Why do you speak so childishly now?<
/p>
If it wasn't true, would others dare to start a fuss directly at the gate, or take advantage of you to entertain guests at Dingyuan Hou Mansion?
It's not that there is no way to make a fake out of something that actually happened, but anyone with eyes can see it. That Ruan is clearly an ignorant country woman, and that child is not clever either, but he looks too much like her.
Marquis Dingyuan.
It's almost like a mirror.
What Mr. Xue is more worried about is actually not this. If Marquis Dingyuan refuses to admit it, as long as Ganyi County does it cleanly and leaves no evidence or evidence, even if he goes to Bo Court, there is still room for change.
However, he had already reminded the eldest prince before discussing with Marquis Dingyuan, but the two of them were locked in the room and did not know what they said. They did not listen to a word of his advice, and they even braved the wind last night.
Go do it.
It's okay if it works, but now it seems that most of it may have failed.
Mr. Xue understood that the eldest prince did not want to lose the help of Dingyuan Marquis, so he was a little confused. After all, if he lost Dingyuan Marquis, he would no longer be able to fight against the fourth prince in the court.
The advantages he had gained from running the business for many years were suddenly lost. He was unwilling to bear such a result, and he wanted to preserve Dingyuan Hou no matter what.
But Mr. Xue doesn’t think he can keep it.
What's more, Marquis Dingyuan actually has a kind of mysterious self-confidence. At this time, he is not thinking about solving the problem. Instead, he is scolding the governor of Ganyi County for not being able to handle such a small thing!
Just when Mr. Xue was about to tell his plan, the housekeeper from Dingyuan Hou Mansion suddenly came in a hurry, and he had to swallow the words that came to his lips.
Marquis Dingyuan said in a deep voice: "What's the matter?"
The housekeeper said: "Master Hou, Jing Zhaoyin's head catcher has arrived at the house, saying that Ruan family has accused Mr. Hou, and asks Mr. Hou to ask questions!"
Dingyuan Hou said: "I know!"
But the housekeeper didn’t leave.
Marquis Dingyuan frowned and said, "What else is there?"
The housekeeper glanced at Mr.
Marquis Dingyuan understood that this was not an ordinary question, nor was it a polite invitation. He couldn't help but get angry: "Does he still want to take away my lock?"
Mr. Xue sighed in his heart and said: "Master Hou, this matter cannot be acknowledged. As long as you deny nothing, His Highness can deal with the rest!"
Marquis Dingyuan said: "I know!"
He angrily walked to the front yard.
Mr. Xue also left quickly. He had to go back and discuss countermeasures with the eldest prince!
When Marquis Dingyuan walked to the front yard, the king bowed his hands and bowed, and said businesslikely: "Master Marquis, someone has sued you now. I follow the rules and come to ask the Marquis for questioning!"
Dingyuan Hou said: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!"
As soon as Mr. Wang raised his chin, the four detectives behind him came forward with chains!
Marquis Dingyuan was furious and shouted: "How brave! Are you trying to lock me down?"
Wang Captou said: "Master Hou, please calm down. The fourth prince was attacked in the other courtyard last night. This matter is also related to Master Hou. Because it involves serious matters, everyone involved in the case must be arrested and brought to justice!"
"Wait!" Marquis Dingyuan looked at Wang Baotou coldly, with a hint of oppression in his eyes: "The fourth prince was attacked in another courtyard?"
"Exactly!" Wang Captou didn't hide it: "Master Jiang, the commander of the city patrol, arrived in time and captured the thief! After interrogating him all night, the thief confessed that it was the Marquis who ordered it!"
Marquis Dingyuan was panicking. Why would the fourth prince go to another courtyard if he was not in his palace? However, after all, he was a person who could scold Fang Qiu in the court. He quickly regained his composure and his eyes became more threatening:
"You're going to lock up a second-grade marquis because of a little thief who talks about dirty things?"
The second rank of Marquis Dingyuan is not that of a marquis, but because he is the minister of punishment, so he is of the second rank!
Under his glare, Wang Captou felt a little lack of confidence.
He is just a head catcher, how can he withstand the glare of such a high-ranking official and a noble courtier? After thinking about it carefully, I think it makes some sense. Although the culprit was identified, Ding Yuanhou was not convicted.
He is the brother of Concubine Ning in the palace, and the uncle of the eldest prince!
He hesitated for a moment and said: "This villain has not thought carefully enough. Lord Marquis, please!"
Marquis Dingyuan snorted and ordered: "Prepare the carriage! I am going to Jingzhao Yin Yamen!" The steward responded: "Yes!"
Even Mr. Wang didn’t dare to stop him!
