Chapter 672, Counterattack

In mid-December, every household in the Ningmen Mansion was happily preparing for the New Year, but the Fan family was sad, and Fan Tongzhi was imprisoned by the lower government.

Second Young Master Fan ran around to save his father, where do you still remember the Li Wang family?

Taohua sent someone to tell the Li Wang family of the news. After that, the Li Wang family was completely quiet, and the backyard of the Yan family could no longer hear the screams from the guest house.

Daohuaxuan.

Wang Man'er is helping Daohua pack up the things she went to Taohua Village to celebrate the New Year. Because the old man did not want to come to Yan's New Year, the wife and the master asked the girl to accompany the old man to celebrate the New Year.

Wang Man'er packed his things and said with a smile: “When the chief of the Li family comes, take the Li Wang family away, even if this matter is resolved, our family can live a good year with peace of mind.”

Daohua sat on the desk in front of the window and looked at the accounts of the shops. Hearing Wang Man'er's words, her expression paused: "The matter has not been resolved yet."

"From the very beginning, the Li Wang family were just pawns that were pushed out to damage the Yan family's reputation. Even if the Li Wang family is taken away, the Yan family's reputation has been destroyed, unless the incident is corrected from the source. come over."

Wang Man'er was taken aback, isn’t that the source of Guo’s family.

Wang Man'er hesitated for a while, and reminded: "Girl, the Guo family is my uncle's house." For my uncle's sake, this matter shouldn't be too stiff.

Daohua put down the ledger, stood up and looked at the snow scene outside the window. After a while, she murmured: "You said, if I had a dispute with the Guo family, whom would Xiao Yeyang stand on?"

Wang Maner could not answer this question.

Auntie is really true to the girl, but the respect to Governor Guo is also true.

Daohua turned her head and saw Wang Man'er hesitating, her heart was not very sure. After a while, her eyes gradually became firmer.

The gap between her and Xiao Yeyang is objective. She can’t choose to tolerate and compromise from the beginning because of this gap. Once something starts, she will fall into endless trouble.

Guo House.

Mrs. Guo impatiently sent away Mrs. Fan who came to ask for help.

Looking at Mrs. Fan who was leaving with a sob, Guo Xueming stepped into the room: "Mother, why is Mrs. Fan here again? The evidence of Fan Tongzhi's corruption is solid, or it was found by Jin Lingwei. How can our family help with this kind of thing? If you have the time to ask for help, it is better to quickly find a way to raise money and make up for the corruption, so that you can reduce the crime at that time."

Mrs. Guo sneered and said: "Mrs. Fan said that Fan Tongzhi was found out of corruption at this time because it was caused by helping our family deal with the Yan family. Let our family find a way."

Guo Xueming condensed her eyebrows and looked at Mrs. Guo: "This time is indeed a bit too coincidental."

Mrs. Guo coldly snorted: "I underestimated the Yan family. Yeyang is Jin Lingwei. Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao of the Yan family have been working with Yeyang. They still have some contacts if they want to come."

Guo Xueming expressed concern: "Mother, without the support of the Fan family, the Li family would have no guts to make trouble in the Yan family again. It's too much trouble, my cousin must be unsightly."

Ms. Guo smiled: "Don't worry, I never thought about what to do with the Yan family. If you don't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, Yeyang's face will still be given two points."

"In the past two days, the Imperial Procuratorate's Imperial History, who has come to evaluate officials' political performance and virtue, should be coming soon. It is aimed at the current reputation of the Yan family. Don't even think about evaluating Yan Zhigao in this year's evaluation. In addition, he lost his military rations before. , He will never have the opportunity to be transferred to Beijing as an official."

"After the Beijiang incident is over, Yeyang will definitely be recalled to the capital. As long as the Yan family can't enter the capital, the affairs between him and Yan Yiyi will be left alone."

Hearing this, Guo Xueming's expression also relaxed.

The Li family no longer makes some noise from time to time, and the beggar who broadcasts the message is also controlled, and the voice of the Yan family's remarks in Fucheng has gradually decreased.

The Imperial Procuratorate's official performance of the foreign inspectorate arrived on the eighteenth of the twelfth lunar month. As the prefect, Yan Zhigao was duty-bound to take over the reception.

After the autumn harvest this year, the high-yield potato was reported to the court, which included detailed data recorded by Yan Zhigao. After reading it, the emperor was very happy and decided to start promoting potatoes next year.

Because of this, several censors of the Imperial Court were very good to Yan Zhigao's senses. After seeing the improvement of the living standards of the people in Ningmen Prefecture, they are not lacking in praise.

Mrs. Guo learned that Yan Zhigao had been given good comments by several of the Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and she contemplated for a while, and then wrote a post to the Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the name of Governor Guo. During the period, she invited a few and Yan Zhigao accompany officials who do not agree with his political views.

Cao Chuan, who was paying attention to the movement of the Guo family, knew about all this, and immediately went to tell Daohua.

After listening, Daohua exhaled in silence, and then said: "Go and call the eldest daughter-in-law of Li Wang who has been in contact with the Guo family steward."

Wang Man'er nodded, turned around and walked out quickly.

Soon, Li Wang’s eldest daughter-in-law came over tremblingly. After being beaten by the Li’s patriarch, she no longer had the arrogance and ostentation she used to say: "Is there anything auntie is looking for me?"

Ina Flower: "You want to see the maid who instigated your family to join my house again. Can you still recognize it?"

Li Wang’s eldest daughter-in-law nodded, “Of course, I’m sure to recognize it.” Thinking of her lame son, and thinking of the patriarch said that they would be removed from the clan, she regretted that her intestines were all green. Listening to the mother-in-law's words, encourage her to come to the third sister.

Ina Flower: "Well, I will take you out later. You want to see the maid in charge again, do you know what to do?"

The Li Wang family nodded quickly: "I know I know that as long as the girl doesn't let the patriarch remove our family from the family, I am willing to do anything." Without the family, their family will become rootless people, and they can only do anything when they die. Lonely wild ghost.

Daohua's expression is faint: "Don't say that. Those who don't know think I'm persecuting you. You know, because of your family's arrival, our family's good reputation that has been managed so hard over the years has been completely destroyed. Do you think you should bear the responsibility?"

"I don't want you to do anything against your will. You just need to tell everyone what the maid said to you back then."

Li Wang's eldest daughter-in-law nodded repeatedly: "I see."

Daohua looked at Wang Man'er: "Go and prepare the carriage. By the way, let Yan Shouhou take the beggars who have been in contact with the Guo family."

At the banquet of Guo’s Mansion, several of the court officials heard the Yan family’s treatment of the Li Wang family, and they all shook their heads: “Yan Zhigao is a good official, but I didn’t expect his personal virtues to be so unbearable.”

An official smiled and said: "We all the people of Ningmen Mansion know this, but because of the prestige's official prestige, everyone dare not mention it on the open. If several Yushi don't believe it, you can go to the street and ask. Ask, everyone knows that the prefect’s denial of stepmother."

Several Yushi glanced at each other, but did not respond. They wanted to investigate this matter.

Unknowingly, Governor Guo looked at the accompanying officials and frowned.

After the banquet, Governor Guo personally sent out a few of the Imperial Procuratorate's censors. As soon as he walked out of the gate, he saw a woman in ordinary dress pulling the maid beside Mrs. Guo and crying.
