Concubine's plan

Seeing Xun Yingju's smart choice to continue listening, Lu Shaoyuan smiled knowingly and said:"When Governor Wei got angry, he punished those officials and strictly ordered them to get to the bottom of this case, otherwise they would not be able to keep their position.

Now The officials were really anxious and began to investigate carefully. Based on the clues left at the deceased's home and the reactions of the neighbors, the officials quickly found out a group of people who made a living from loan sharking. The officials were very efficient this time. They immediately arrested all the loan sharks for interrogation.

It was only during this interrogation that they found out that there were many children of wealthy officials involved in the loan sharking, including Xun Yinglan and Xun Yingzhu."

"really?"Xun Yingju couldn't sit still. Xun Yinglan and Xun Yingzhu, two ignorant little girls, didn't know when the list became bigger and bigger. If they were really involved in loan sharking and there was a murder case, what if If the matter spreads, I am afraid it will affect the official careers of Xun Jingcheng and Xun Jingyu.

There are everyone in the officialdom, but there is an unwritten rule that all officials and their families cannot participate in loan sharking, otherwise the emperor or their immediate superiors will She doubted this person's character.

The more Xun Yingju thought about it, the more worried she became. This was not only the official careers of Xun Jingcheng and Xun Jingyu, but also Xun Hongde's position. She immediately asked:"Brother Lu, is this matter confirmed?"

"Naturally, the loan shark has a cash register certificate signed by two people."Lu Shaoyuan once again dropped a bombshell.

This time Xun Yingju had no doubts, and immediately stood up and said:"Brother Lu, sit here for a while, and before the excitement in the front yard has dissipated, I want to tell you about this. Father, let him be prepared"

"Go ahead. Lu Shaoyuan said, and then accompanied Brother Heng to write.

Xun Yingju did not doubt whether the source of Lu Shaoyuan's information was correct. Lu Shaoyuan worked in the county offices of Qingshui Town and Qingshui County from the beginning, and several friends in the government offices of Anqing Prefecture gave him the information in advance. It is not impossible for him to ventilate. After saying hello, Xun Yingju immediately took Chun Mian out and headed to the front yard.

What Xun Yingju sister thought was that she hurried over in a hurry, but she was still late. As soon as she arrived at the door of the front yard, she saw someone The official guarding the door was curious and secretly guessed:"Are the government officials so efficient in their work? Did you find your father so soon?"

Although she didn't believe it in her heart, she couldn't help it given the facts, so she stepped into the yard. The official at the door did not stop her, and still stood here with a straight face.

"Girl, these officials are really vicious."Yu Sheng whispered.

"Don't worry, as long as we don't do anything illegal, they will naturally not cause trouble for us."Xun Yingju comforted Yu Sheng.

Yu Sheng nodded, but still felt uneasy in her heart. She followed Xun Yingju into the yard. As soon as she reached the door of the hall, she heard a stranger's voice coming from inside. At this time, Mrs. Xun and Hu The female family members of Shi, Bai, Yu, Qin, Xun Yinglan and Xun Yingzhu are gone, leaving only Xun Hongde, Xun Jingcheng, Xun Jingyu and a strange man in his fifties. The man looks elegant and has three strands of long beard. There were several official officials standing with serious expressions.

"It looks like something big has happened in this battle."Xun Yingju murmured in a low voice.

The sound of rain was close to Xun Yingju. Naturally, she could hear these words clearly. She did not rush into the house, but followed her girl closely. The people here are all foreign men. According to the rules of the Zhou Dynasty, men and women At this time, Xun Yingju could not go out to meet these people, but Xun Yingju was very curious. She guessed that the person who came should be Wei Taishou. It was a small loan sharking case. Even if there was a human life case, Wei Taishou would not be let go. Coming to Xun's Mansion in person, Xun's Mansion's background is not that big.

Sure enough, Xun Hongde laughed and said in the hall:"I wonder what the prefect has to do when he comes to my house in person? There was no smile on Taishou Wei's face

, but he said very seriously:"Brother Xun, do you really not know what happened at home?""

This time Xun Hongde was even more surprised. He is really happy today. His two sons have been promoted to high school, and their career will be bright in the future. The development of the Xun family will not be worse than that of the Wei family in the future. He was suddenly said so by the Wei governor, and he was very puzzled. , and immediately asked:"Why did the prefect say this? Today is the day when the dog is selected to go home. What can happen at home?""

"Brother Xun is happy for his son, but he also has to pay attention to what other juniors in the family are doing."Prefect Wei was speechless for a while. At the same time, he felt that Xun Hongde was too confused and incompetent in managing his family. If he hadn't given birth to a good daughter, he might still be the county magistrate of Qingshui County now?

"Could it be that Sixth Girl was doing things outside and causing trouble? Xun Hongde asked with some uncertainty.

Hearing this, Wei Taishou was speechless for a while and said:"Brother Xun, the sixth girl in your mansion has a cheerful temperament and is steady in her work. She has never neglected anyone when doing things outside." And the Xun family is in its current situation, isn't it because of the Sixth Girl? Why can't Brother Xun get along with the Sixth Girl?"

Xun Yingju, who was eavesdropping at the door, nodded in agreement. It wasn't that she really wanted to be praised by Xun Hongde, but mainly because she didn't want to be wronged like this. If someone secretly applied eye drops, she was afraid that her life would be even worse in the future, and she felt sad in her heart. I had an opinion on Xun Hongde.

Then I heard Xun Hongde say:"The prefect has misunderstood, and I don't want to hide it. This sixth girl of mine seems to be well-behaved, but she is aggressive and leaves no room for others. Even my father is in her hands." There is no bargain, the prefect said, so naturally I thought of her first."

"Brother Xun did misunderstand the sixth girl this time. It was the fourth and fifth girls in the family who were in trouble this time."Wei Taishou thought for a moment and continued:"Brother Xun must have heard about the recent massacre of his family in Fucheng. It was caused by this loan sharking incident, and the people behind these loan sharking people are not simple. If the fourth girl Being too involved with the fifth girl may affect the career of Brother Xun and the two young masters."

"What?"Xun Hongde couldn't sit still anymore and kept cursing:"The two little evildoers have such a big list. They dare to go out and do such things. Beat them to death as soon as possible."

"Brother Xun, please don't be angry yet. Please ask the two girls to come out and ask clearly. See what they know. Tell them as soon as possible to avoid delaying the important matter. Master Wei said.

At this time, Xun Hongde ignored his anger and immediately sent people to the backyard to ask Xun Yinglan and Xun Yingzhu to come out. Wei Taishou also ordered several officials to wait outside. These things will affect the reputation of his daughter's family, knowing that The fewer people there are, the better.

Hearing this, Xun Yingju knew that she was a little late, but she still wanted to know what happened next, so she naturally refused to leave just like that. She hid in a side room with the sound of rain, wanting to hear how Xun Hongde dealt with the two of them. people.
