Wu Xian got off the sedan and quickly entered the mansion. Before he reached the main hall, he asked anxiously, "Where are the people from Kaifeng Mansion?"
"Sir, the people from Kaifeng Mansion have just left."
The maid waiting for Wu Xian's return home at the entrance of the main hall saw Wu Xian and came up to greet him. When she heard Wu Xian's question, she hurriedly bowed her back and answered.
Wu Xian's brows furrowed into the Chinese character "Chuan", his face turned blue, and he shouted angrily: "Did Liu Mei really sue me?"
In Wu Xian's words, there was no respect at all for Liu Mei, the uncle of the country.
Regardless of Liu Mei's noble status, she also controls 100,000 elite Forbidden Forces, and has a high and powerful position.
But in Wu Xian's eyes, Liu Mei can only be regarded as a low-income person who climbed up through nepotism, and cannot be compared with him, a serious Jinshi with eight hundred years of experience.
More importantly, Wu Xian suspected that he had been tricked by Liu Mei.
Liu Heng, the second son of a concubine in Liu Mei's family, had just pawned "Spring Play" at Donglai Pawn Shop, and then Donglai Pawn Shop caught fire.
As soon as he arrived at the scene of the fire at Donglai Pawn Shop, and before he had time to interrogate him, the government sent someone to tell him that Liu Mei had accused him.
This chain of events looked like a trap, and Wu Xian couldn't help but suspect it.
Now he only regretted that he was greedy and should not have thought about marrying the queen when he was about to marry Ding Wei.
This way, you won't fall into Liu Mei's tricks.
Facing Wu Xian's irritable questioning, the maid was too frightened to say anything.
Wu Xian frowned even more tightly, pretending to fight.
At this time, Mrs. Wu Xian came over after hearing the news and stopped her: "Master, you are angry because you are angry, why do you want to take it out on the maid? Nothing happened in the house. Although the people from Kaifeng Mansion searched the house
, but nothing was found.
Uncle Guo filed a lawsuit against you, but the people in Kaifeng Mansion found no evidence.
This is a false accusation. If you impeach him when you go to court, you will naturally have officials and three ministers to provide you with justice."
"You're a woman, you know nothing!"
Wu Xian cursed angrily.
When Mrs. Wu Xian heard this, she was unhappy.
In front of outsiders, she was as obedient as a quail, but in front of Wu Xian, she was completely confident.
"Oh, you Wu Xian, you got angry and dared to yell at me. If my father hadn't provided money for you to study and go to Beijing to take the exam, you would be where you are today. Now you have become an official of the imperial court, and you have an identity and status.
, have you forgotten the kindness my father showed you back then?"
Mrs. Wu Xian kept dragging Wu Xian to act wildly.
She has a typical arrogant personality.
When the group of Kaifeng government officials showed up just now, she was not so aggressive.
Wu Xian always doted on her, but today he felt angry all the time. He pushed her away violently and cursed: "What time of day is it now, and you are still here making trouble with me.
The Wu Mansion is about to be in disaster.
Liu Mei's guy obviously set up a trap to frame me. Do you think the matter will be over if the Kaifeng Mansion can't find the paintings in the house?
Liu Mei's son Liu Heng also had a pawn ticket issued by Donglai Pawn Shop.
Now that Donglai Pawn Walks on Water, the painting has been burned to the ground.
As long as Liu Mei's son Liu Heng takes out the pawn ticket in his hand, it will be conclusive evidence.
If I can't produce the painting then, I will not only have to compensate Liu Mei's son one hundred thousand guan, but I will also be prepared to be retaliated by him and the Queen together."
Mrs. Wu Xian was dumbfounded when she heard this.
It is not terrible for civil servants to offend Wu Xun.
In the Song Dynasty, it was already a consensus that civil servants who did not offend Wu Xun were not good civil servants.
But offending the queen is a terrible thing.
Nowadays, everyone in Bianjing City knows that Queen Liu E holds great power, and she can live or die with a single thought.
It would be easier for Queen Liu E to deal with Wu Xian than to crush an ant.,
Although Mrs. Wu Xian is fierce, she has been an official's wife for several years and she also knows some things in the court.
After knowing the seriousness of the matter, she stopped making trouble. Instead, she dragged Wu Xian and said with a sad face: "Then what should we do now? If we offend the queen, our family will not be able to survive in Bianjing City.
"
Wu Xian glared at her and said with a gloomy look: "Now, the only way is to quickly seek refuge with Prime Minister Ding. Under Prime Minister Ding's protection, the queen has to think carefully about moving me."
"Go and get the rhinoceros belt for me. I'm going to Ding Mansion."
After hearing this, Mrs. Wu Xian hesitated for a moment and said, "Didn't you say that the Babel Rhinoceros Belt cannot be given to Prime Minister Ding? Once it is given to Prime Minister Ding, it is very likely that Prime Minister Ding will take the Babel Rhinoceros Belt, but kick it
Kick you away."
Wu Xian gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "As of now, I can't care about so much anymore. The Tongtian Rhinoceros Belt is handed over to Prime Minister Ding. Even if Prime Minister Ding shows off, he still has to protect me, otherwise who will seek refuge with him in the future?
Even if Prime Minister Ding kicks me away in the future, I will have enough time to plan again.
But if I don’t give the Bongtian Rhinoceros Belt to Prime Minister Ding, once the Queen takes action against me, she will definitely kill me.”
Mrs. Wu Xian was startled, nodded quickly and said, "I'll go get it right away."
Mrs. Wu Xian hurried back to the back house to get the rhinoceros belt.
Wu Xian stood at the door of the main hall, frowning, wondering what he was planning.
a long time.
Mrs. Wu Xian stumbled out of the main hall in a panic, shouting as she ran, "Master, master, that rhinoceros belt is missing!"
"What?!"
"No more?!"
Wu Xian's expression finally changed.
"It was still there when I watched it last night, why is it gone now? Who has been to the house today?!"
"Kaifeng Mansion..."
Mrs. Wu Xian immediately thought of those Yamen servants in Kaifeng Mansion.
"Yes, it must be them. They must have taken away the rhinoceros belt."
Wu Xian froze on the spot as if struck by lightning. He trembled: "Kaifeng Mansion...Liu Mansion...Queen...Kou Zhun..."
Wu Xian stared blankly and exclaimed: "Could it be... Could it be that Kou Zhun and the Queen have joined forces?"
As soon as this idea came up, Wu Xian was frightened.
It would be terrible if Kou Zhun really joined forces with the Queen.
Together, these two people are enough to control the entire court. Ding Wei, who has so much power in the court, would probably be embarrassed, let alone a little official like him.
I'm afraid that just by talking, someone will put all the heads of the Wu family in front of them.
"impossible!"
This idea didn't last long in Wu Xian's mind before he rejected it.
With Kou Zhun's character, it is absolutely impossible for him to join forces with the Queen.
Kou Zhun had an upright character and had long been dissatisfied with the empress, a woman who interfered in politics. He had openly pointed at empress Liu E's nose and scolded her more than once in the court.
How could Queen Liu E join forces with him?
"But if they didn't join forces, why would the people in Kaifeng Mansion help Kou Zhunlai steal the rhinoceros belt? Liu Mei, why did you set up a trap to frame me at this time?"
