Chen Ruyi's Ruyi Garden is located near Zangjin Bridge, not far from the Fan Tower.
Wang Chao was riding in a sedan chair, and several of his attendants came to the Ruyi Garden. When they arrived at the garden, Han Bin, his confidant who Wang Chao had ordered to go back to get the beads, happened to drive over on horseback, wiping the extra sweat with his sleeves.
He handed a brocade box to Wang Chao and asked, "Sir, is this one?"
Wang Chao opened the brocade box and took out two beads lined with silk and velvet. They were the size of pigeon eggs. They did not lose their luster under the scorching afternoon sun. He was thinking about Chen Ruyi's charming face and seductive eyes.
Zi, said: "This is it..." and asked his confidant Han Bin, "Do you think Miss Ruyi will like it?"
Han Bin and Wang Chao have been together for five or six years. Although they are not children of the same family, Wang Chao has bullied men and women over the years, and Han Bin has taken care of him properly and is very trustworthy - these are the two South Pearls.
, I don’t know where Han Bin got it from.
Money is easy to find. Wang Chao, who was born into a wealthy family, has never seen a few of such flawless pearls. Thinking about women looking at precious jade, it should be easier for Chen Ruyi to spread her legs with these two southern pearls knocking on the door.
Thinking of Chen Ruyi's long and beautiful legs, which were as smooth as jade, spread across the brocade couch, Wang Chao's heart was filled with excitement, and he didn't want to waste any time in the garden.
Wang Chao followed Chen Ruyi's maid to the depths of the house. Han Bin and a few personal servants were waiting in the foyer of the front yard, and the mother-in-law brought tea to greet him.
"I don't know how long we have to wait," Han Bin took out a few pieces of silver from his arms, threw them on the table, and said to the other servants, "I'm waiting here, you can go and have some fun.
I might have to stay up all night here..."
"Has Old Han hooked up with Miss Caihe? Looking at your flirtations, you think we are an eyesore here!" one person said with a smile.
Han Bin smiled and wanted to take the silver back, but the man stretched out his hand to snatch the silver lock, and said with a lewd smile, "Adults eat meat, and Han also drinks soup. If the eldest daughter with smooth skin and tender flesh can't get it, neither can we."
All we can do is find some soup dregs and a few wild animals to satisfy our greed..." Knowing that the master has been favored by Miss Ruyi today, he is in a good mood and will not care about their off-duty affairs. He takes the money and goes out in a swarm to find someone nearby.
Let's go have fun in the kiln.
After sending the attendants away, Han Bin walked to the inner house, passed the hanging flower hall, and met Chen Ruyi's maid Caihe, who had just come to the feudal mansion to report a message. Seeing that there was no one around, he asked in a low voice: "Second Young Master, who else is there?"
In the garden?”
"Second Young Master asked you to go over..." Caihe led Han Bin to the side courtyard, and opened a secret door in an unobstructed corner. There was a secret door hidden inside that only allowed people to walk sideways.
It leads to a courtyard behind Ruyi Garden.
There was also a secret door at the other end of the corridor. After two gentle knocks, someone opened the door. It was a firewood courtyard. She Feihu stood in the firewood courtyard with his hands behind his back. When he saw Han Bin coming in, he asked
: "I feel aggrieved to have you by Wang Chao's side all these years..."
"I'm willing to go to hell for the second young master. Why bother having fun with Wang Chao?" Han Bin said with a smile, "Wang Chao has already gone in. Second Young Master, isn't it..."
"Lure him into the trap first, and I will show up at the end!" She Feihu said. If he shows up, there will be no room for relaxation. Before Wang Xueshan, Wang Chao and his son can be sure to submit, this risky move must be made last.
"You go over first, follow the plan, throw out the bank case first, and see if you can scare Wang Xueshan into a sweat. Regardless of whether you can succeed or not, after this time, you will leave Jiangning with me. I am also short of manpower."
She Feihu said.
"Yes!" Han Bin responded and walked out with Caihe.
It is already a hot summer in the south of the Yangtze River in June. The back garden is full of straight green bamboos. When I walk into the bamboo forest, I feel that the world has changed and I suddenly feel cool. Chen Ruyi is wearing a light skirt and leaning on the bamboo couch.
His skin was as tender as snow. When he saw Wang Chao approaching, he got up and said, "I am so sick that I have caused Lord Wang to wait in the feudal tower. I really feel sorry for him, so I have to trouble Lord Wang to come over."
…”
"What are you talking about?" Wang Chao looked at Chen Ruyi's exposed jade feet, which were crystal clear. Compared with them, the Nanzhu in the brocade box in his arms had become a common thing, and he felt that Chen Ruyi was calling him every time he frowned or smiled.
She was so fascinated that she wanted to sit down and greet her, but she was afraid of offending the beautiful lady, so she stood there stupidly and said with a smile, "I just took a look, but I really feel uneasy. Is Miss Ruyi's health any better?"
"What is called good and what is called bad?" Chen Ruyi stood up, took Wang Chao's hand, and said, "Master Wang can come here to talk, and the slave family will feel better..."
Wang Chao felt like he was in a cloud dream. When he sat down, he felt the fragrance fragrant. Chen Ruyi's little hand was in his hand, as if he was holding a piece of warm nephrite. Chen Ruyi was lying on the side, her dress was light and fell on her body, and her waist sank.
, the plump buttocks are bulging high, and the curves make Wang Chao look at her closely, and he has to swallow his saliva subconsciously.
"I've been lying in the garden very ill these past few days. I don't know what's going on outside. I don't know if Mr. Wang can pick up a few interesting things to tell me to relieve my family's fatigue." Chen Ruyi said softly, her voice so soft.
Remove human bones.
"Why don't you make a fuss about Xie Chaozhong leading the troops to the expedition!" Wang Chao said.
"What's there to make a fuss about? Let Xie Chaozhong lead his troops out of Jiangning as soon as possible. He's following you like flies and can't even drive them away." Chen Ruyi frowned and mentioned Xie Chaozhong in disgust, "The slave family has been hiding all day.
Not going out in the garden is partly due to illness, and partly because I am afraid that Xie Chaozhong will come and pester the slave family. Mr. Wang also knows that the slave family is somewhat unworthy of fame, but you have a thick waist and strong arms, and the slave family has a sick body.
Can’t afford to offend…”
Wang Chao frowned slightly. Xie Chaozhong had been very focused on the expedition recently and rarely visited the land of flowers and willows. If he couldn't lead the army and stayed in Jiangning, how could he argue with him about Chen Ruyi?
Chen Ruyi glanced at Wang Chao's face, stretched out his hand to beckon, and said: "Master Wang, what do you think about leading the troops?"
"What do I think?" Wang Chao smiled. He naturally didn't want Huaidong to gain power again. Yu Pijiang also hinted repeatedly that he wanted the Wang family to support Xie Chaozhong's expedition. He didn't have any objections, but he was worried.
A victory by Xie Chaozhong would bring no great benefits to them, but a defeat would bring great worries. Why bother to wade into such troubled waters? Even though Wang Chao believed that Xie Chaozhong could easily achieve a great victory by leading his troops on an expedition, he was not particularly enthusiastic about this matter.
Wang Chao smiled and said: "If Miss Ruyi finds Xie Dutong bored, of course I hope he leaves Jiangning."
"Speaking of this matter, I remember something I heard a few days ago, but is it related to you, Mr. Wang?"
"What can be related to me?" Wang Chao asked with a smile.
"Xie Chaozhong is going to lead the army. I heard that Prime Minister Chen will be the first to come out and object," Chen Ruyi said. "Everyone will inevitably guess how Prime Minister Chen will object - Fan Ji Liang was drunk in the vassal building a few days ago.
Jiu, saying that there is a big case to be uncovered in the Ministry of Revenue, Guan Bao can stop Yu Xinyuan's mouth. I know that Yu Xinyuan is Xie Chaozhong's uncle. If Yu Xinyuan is unlucky, Xie Chaozhong will be implicated, and naturally he will not be able to lead the army. But it is called
The slave family didn't understand that Yu Xinyuan was the censor of Zuodu and had never been able to get along with the Ministry of Household Affairs for eight lifetimes. Fan Jiliang said that he wanted to dig up cases from the Ministry of Household Affairs. How could he be blamed on Yu Xinyuan? It was just that Fan Jiliang was drunk at the time.
Like a dead dog, he didn’t say anything no matter how much he asked. It’s really curiosity that kills a cat. The slave family has been thinking about this for the past few days. I don’t want to ask Mr. Wang to inquire..."
Wang Chao seemed to have been doused with ice water in the coldest month of winter. He stood up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, grabbed Chen Ruyi's wrist, and asked: "Did you really hear it? Fan Jiliang said he wanted to open an account."
A big case for the department?”
"Master Wang, you are hurting my family!" Chen Ruyi said coquettishly, "I don't know whether it is true or false. Don't you ask Master Wang? Could it be that neither Master Wang nor Mr. Wang know the details at all?"
Wang Xueshan is in charge of the household department, and Wang Chao is also a member of the household department. If there is any trouble in the household department, naturally they should not hide it from their eyes and ears, unless this big case also involves them.
Fan Jiliang was a scholar from Pingjiang and once served as a minor official in Jiaxing. He was recommended by Chen Mingshu to come to Jiangning to serve as Chen Xiyan's staff. Although he did not have a prominent official title, Fan Jiliang was a well-known figure in Jiangning city - Wang Chao let go of his hand,
He didn't realize that Chen Ruyi was panicking at all, and concluded that Fan Jiliang was telling the truth while drunk, and that Chen Xiyan was really going to drag Yu Xinyuan into trouble through a major case at the Ministry of Household Affairs in order to stop Xie Chaozhong from going on an expedition. A cold sweat suddenly broke out down his spine.
Said: "...I think there is one more important thing to do, so I have to excuse myself today..."
"Master Wang has so many things to do every day, how dare the slave family keep Master Wang? I just hope that Master Wang will not forget the slave family." Chen Ruyi said.
"How dare you, how dare you?" Wang Chao took out the brocade box from his arms, handed it to Chen Ruyi, and hurried out, almost bumping into Han Binying.
"Master, are you going back?" Han Bin asked.
Han Bin said in embarrassment: "I thought you were going to spend the night here. Chen Liu and the others were too lazy to go out. I went to look for them..."
"No, borrow a carriage from Ruyiyuan and you accompany me back first." Wang Chao knew the character of his followers and hurried back, saying, "I'll take care of these playful bastards later."
As the Minister of Household Affairs, Wang Xueshan had to stay in the Yamen during the day to handle official duties, but he was not as carefree and happy as the officials below. Wang Chao rushed back in a panic, and Wang Xueshan was wiping the sweat on his forehead with a sweat towel twisted with well water.
"Dad, something is not good..." Wang Chao said anxiously when he saw that there was no one else in the room.
"What's wrong? How old are you? You don't have a prudent attitude when talking or doing things!" Wang Xueshan asked, stroking his long beard under his chin.
"Chen Xiyan wants to bring down daddy!" Wang Chao said in detail what he heard from Chen Ruyi, "Chen Xiyan wants to investigate a major case in the Household Department, doesn't he want to bring down you, daddy?"
"Chen Xiyan wants to check the bank?" Wang Xueshan said with a frown.
"Besides this, what other major case can involve Yu Xinyuan!" Wang Chao said anxiously, "But if Chen Xiyan really investigates this case, Yu Xinyuan will not only be brought down, but even Mr. Wang Tian will be involved.
ah!"
At that time, the Ministry of Revenue learned from the Huaidong Bank and also planned to establish a bank directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue in Jiangning. The Ministry of Revenue directly took out 500,000 taels of silver as the principal at one time. Wang Chao served as the head of the bank as a member of the Ministry of Revenue.
The bank bank has been established to this day. Apart from a few pawn shops in Jiangning City that are barely operating, there is no other property. Even the five hundred thousand taels of silver invested by the Ministry of Household Affairs have been lost. Participate in the carving up of this
With the exception of Wang Xueshan, Wang Chao and his son, Yu Xinyuan and Wang Tian could not escape the open line among the five hundred thousand taels of silver.
"No way," Wang Xueshan frowned and thought, "You are in charge of the bank affairs from beginning to end. How can there be any clues exposed?"
"Who knows, but Fan Jiliang uttered the truth after drinking. This is not something that can be said casually. We must strike first!" g!~!
