Xiao Chen has always looked down upon ordinary women.
Especially those women with heavy makeup and dazzling looks, who don't even bother to raise their eyelids.
Most of the corrupt officials he dealt with in Jiangnan had a background in scientific research. In the early days, they were also good officials who were able to serve the people with ease.
But his ears were weak and he could not resist the vanity and comparison with his mother-in-law at home, so he gave up his official career step by step.
Deep in Xiao Chen's heart, the happiest thing in his life is to compete with those corrupt officials who are intelligent but only seek profit for themselves.
Xiao Chenli didn't even want to deal with the family members of ordinary corrupt officials, let alone interrogate them.
But the Wang in front of him was obviously not a short-sighted person.
Although what he said was taking the opportunity to avenge his personal revenge, it was just a slightly angry question after seeing most of the servant guards being killed, but being able to say it like this was enough to show that there was still something in her mind.
Perhaps she knew something about Dingxi Hou Wang Rong's conspiracy against her father.
"Avenging a private vendetta?" Xiao Chen smiled faintly, "It is our consistent practice to ransack our homes in the east factory and kill them if they resist. If the people of Dingxi Marquis were not used to behaving badly every day, how would they dare to resist when their homes were ransacked? Although Wang Rong was
The master of the Dingxi Houfu has the final say on all matters, but as the wife of the Houfu, it is also your duty to discipline the servants, right? You don't exercise strict restraint on weekdays, and you develop an arrogant and arrogant character.
There is only the Emperor's Dongchang, and they can only use their lives as a price in exchange for awakening in the next life. This should be your responsibility, right?"
Wang was startled.
This person looked so young, but how could he be so sharp-tongued? These words made me unable to refute them for a moment.
But this Wang family seems to have a weak character at home, just to calm things down so that Wang Rong doesn't have to be angry about the backyard.
When outsiders want to take advantage of the Hou Mansion, Wang also has her strong side.
In the absence of the Marquis, the Hou Mansion is the biggest one.
It is your duty to preserve everyone's life.
"Your Majesty is right. This is all the result of my lax restraint and indulgence. However, if Your Excellency kills too many people, it will not be easy to explain to the Emperor later, right? After all, the Dingxi Marquis was personally granted the title by Taizu.
, only a dozen people were brought back, and the emperor asked, how do you do business?"
"I don't need to worry about this, madam. Wang Rong, the Marquis of Dingxi, is secretly hiding armaments and intends to rebel. What the emperor wants is his head. As for how to deal with the mess at home, how can the emperor have the energy to care about this? It's not my business.
Does the factory have the final say? Madam just asked me if I was avenging my personal revenge by killing so many people. Now I can tell you for sure that I am not just avenging my personal revenge. I am also killing people in the Marquis for fun. What can you do to me?
"
The corners of Xiao Chen's mouth raised slightly, as if he was a villain gaining power.
It's okay to reason with me. But if you threaten me with possible adverse consequences, I'm sorry, you have the wrong person.
I don’t eat soft food, but I also don’t eat hard food.
Wang was extremely angry.
What is this thing, and why is it so different from ordinary people? When he spoke just now, he sounded like a court official. After listening to himself enumerating the possible serious consequences of killing too many people, he became like a street gangster, speaking as he pleased without any rules.
Follow?
But anger is anger, and it is a real thing that the lives of his family are in his hands.
A person who is so prone to anger will not be very scheming.
Following his temper may save many lives.
At that moment, there was a hint of apology on his face: "Your Excellency is the envoy of Dongchang to carry out the emperor's instructions. You can do whatever you want. How can I do anything to you? However, since it is a house raid, I must not only do it for Hou."
This is just a piece of property, right? What I want from my slave is to keep a few more people. Maybe I can get something from their mouths that I don’t know about now. I shouldn’t refuse the unexpected harvest.”
"Unexpected gain?" Xiao Chen chuckled, "Madam, what do you mean, there are things hidden in the Hou Mansion that shouldn't be there?"
Wang frowned.
Could this person's thinking be so quick?
Shouldn't he be a simple-minded street gangster who can't hear the slightest threat?
"My lord is joking. What do you mean by this slave? Since the emperor wants you to search the house, there must be evidence that the Marquis has committed a crime. In recent years, this slave has been unable to manage the house well. The guards at home must have used the name of the Marquis's house to secretly save money."
A small amount of money. This money does not belong to the Hou Mansion. If you can ask them from their mouths, it will be a lot of income."
In the last few sentences, Wang deliberately lowered her voice.
It seems that such words are not suitable for outsiders to hear.
"What I thought was a good thing turned out to be silver." Xiao Chen waved his hand and turned around, then walked towards the lounge chair under the shade of the tree. "I am just a loner. It is useless to ask for so much silver. Instead, I am left behind.
The bad reputation of practicing favoritism and malpractice is not worth it, it’s not worth it.”
"My slave, please keep talking. In the eyes of adults, what is a good thing?" Wang quickly changed the subject.
As long as everyone's lives can be saved, the next steps will be taken into consideration.
Sitting down on the recliner, Xiao Chen slowly lay down: "Good stuff? I really don't know what good stuff is. I just follow the emperor's instructions. People in the Hou Mansion are not arrogant, and I won't either."
Killing innocent people indiscriminately. But after so many years of cultivation, the arrogance engraved in their bones cannot be changed for a while. Madam, there is no need to beg me here. If you have the time, why not clean up the property of the Hou Mansion so that we can save money?
Just think of the snacks as a way to alleviate Wang Rong's sins."
"Your Excellency just said that the Marquis secretly hid arms and intended to rebel. But this is just an intention, and there is no rebellion. In the final analysis, it has touched the interests of the Emperor and has not caused harm to the people. The slave family wants to alleviate the situation for the Marquis.
There is no crime that can be mitigated."
Wang did not retreat, but spoke sternly.
Hearing this, Xiao Chen suddenly jumped up from the recliner.
"No guilt? In Madam's eyes, Wang Rong is a good man. Did the Emperor wrong him?"
"No, I didn't say that. The Marquis is not a perfect man, but he has good intentions towards the people and has never done anything excessive. So I think that the Marquis has made mistakes, but he is not guilty."
"Hahaha..." Xiao Chen looked up to the sky and laughed.
"It turns out that in your eyes, Wang Rong is still an out-and-out good person." Xiao Chen's face turned cold instantly, "Wang Rong colluded with Gong Changwei commander Zhang Xing in Gongchang Mansion, and ended up
A large amount of military equipment was hidden in a cave in Nanshan. Afterwards, the five hundred Gongchang Guard soldiers who helped him hide the equipment were brutally buried alive. These soldiers who dedicated themselves to serving the court did not die on the battlefield, but were killed by themselves.
The commander of the army was buried alive by the marquis of the imperial court. How dare you lick your face and tell me here that he was not guilty?"
Wang's face changed drastically, and she shook her head vigorously, with a look of disbelief on her face.
"It's impossible, it's impossible. For so many years, the Marquis has loved his people like his own children and would blame himself even if he stepped on an ant while walking. How could he bury five hundred army lieutenants alive? Impossible, you must be lying to me."
Xiao Chen snorted coldly: "This is impossible, you don't want to believe it? Then you will definitely not believe that Wang Rong was afraid that his incident would be exposed, so he poisoned his youngest son, Gongchang Magistrate Wang Kuan, with his own hands."
"Mr. Hou poisoned Kuan'er to death?" Wang's mouth was half-opened, and her whole body froze.
Although she was infertile, Wang Kuan was born to the Li family who was always against her. But a woman's nature made her treat Wang Kuan as her own son since she was a child.
Wang Rong, the biological father, actually poisoned his own son.
Even if there is a great reason, this is not something that a person worthy of being called a human can do.
"Poor woman, thanks to you still thinking about him, it turns out that you don't even know about many of the things he does."
Xiao Chen turned around and was too lazy to talk to Wang anymore.
How can a woman be so smart when her husband hides such a big thing?
