Although Xu was angry with Yulian a few days ago, he was still fighting for her when he saw someone bullying her. In the final analysis, it's still that people's original intention is not bad, not those villains who do whatever they can for the sake of interests.

Leisurely Haosheng comforts Yulian and asks Xu to send her back to the yard, while he asks people to go out and find out the truth of Zhang Tongzhi's family. On one side, Mrs. Chen regretted that leisurely's face was uncertain and worried. She hurried forward and said, "it's all mine. I shouldn't have brought her here."

She looked at her leisurely, shook her head gently and said, "it has nothing to do with you. How can you know what she is here for?" Seeing her eyes full of fear, she comforted with soft words, "OK, I know what you are. Don't worry about it. Go back first."

Mrs. Chen knew that it was useless to stay, so she said, "I'll go back first. If there's anything I can do for you, please don't give up and just give orders."

Leisurely nodded, "OK, if I really need your help, I'll come to you."

After Mrs. Chen went out, she felt her stomach leisurely and thought that the people in the official circles of Rongcheng might be looking at themselves and talking so easily that they bullied each other to the door. It seems that tigers don't get angry. They really treat themselves as sick cats.

Zhang Yi came home in a rush of anger and told her husband about it. Zhang Tongzhi thought that he was also the Royal concubine's younger brother. He was sure to accept a woman who was separated from the Royal concubine. Unexpectedly, the other party didn't agree? He walked back and forth several times and asked, "did you ever tell her that it was not an ordinary aunt, but a formal wine to make her a second room?"

Zhang Yiren pursed her lips and said, "of course I said it. For the sake of" asking for a wife ", Mrs. Shen also blocked me with a lot of rules. They are all words in books, and I can't learn them."

Zhang Tongzhi sneered, "rules? Isn't her Shen Lin family a servant girl? If you really want to obey the rules, how can you become the governor's wife

Seeing her husband saying this, Zhang Yiren quickly echoed, "no, I don't like her parentage. I hate to be your aunt to my master. Fortunately, I mean to say the rules in front of me. The most exasperating thing is that I've mentioned our lady's name, but she still doesn't give me the slightest bit of affection and let people blow me out. " Then she murmured, "I guess Shen Lin must have taken her elder sister as a cash cow. It's said that when she was in Beijing, she gave a visit to many senior officials and their families, and the reward would be very rich. She must have let the property of sister Mou Tun stop her from getting married. What she said is so nice. "

Zhang Tongzhi felt his moustache and hummed, "that's what it is. Dare to look down on me, I must give her a good taste. You hurry up, write a letter to the empress, tell us something, and let the empress decide for us. "

Zhang Yiren is a little uncertain and says, "can the empress manage this?"

Zhang Tongzhi did not have a good look at her: "you will not send some gifts with the letter. The dowry of empress is not richer than that of Princess Rong, and her husband is also powerful. She is not well-off in her hand, and then she will put on three no, five thousand taels of silver." His daughter-in-law was surprised and said, "not so much? How much money do we have? "

Zhang Tongzhi said impatiently, "didn't the salt merchant Wang's family just send 5000 Liang that day? Use that one. " Seeing that her mother-in-law was still reluctant to do anything wrong, she had to calm down and said, "you know what, I checked the bottom of the Lin family in the Yamen. This year alone, she has set up three or four shops in Fujian, which cost nearly twenty thousand taels of silver. Think about it. If you marry her, these shops will be ours? It's a good deal to exchange 5000 for 20000! "

Listening to Zhang Tongzhi's words, Zhang Yiren's eyes picked out: "the master checked it clearly, but he said that I would have to keep the title deeds of these shops at that time."

Zhang Tongzhi thought that he would coax her to deal with this matter, so he agreed, "well said, well said, our account book is not in your charge?" After the couple's calculation, they wrote a letter and sent their confidants to Jingzhong as soon as possible. Then they waited for Princess Zhou to decide for them.

More than a month has passed. Finally, Princess Zhou's reply was not received, but the imperial edict came first. It turned out that the censor of Fujian reported to the imperial court that Zhang Tongzhi had accepted bribes, engaged in malpractices for personal gain, had an affair with salt merchants, and had forced people to accept women. In particular, one of Zhang Tongzhi's concubines was accepted during the period of national filial piety. After seeing this, the emperor was particularly angry. He ordered to dismiss his official post and exile for three thousand li.

It was not only Zhang Tongzhi and his wife who felt that the accident had come too suddenly, but the whole Fujian officialdom was shocked by it. Zhang Tongzhi is an official of five grades. Among the civil servants, he is the second leader of Fujian. Although he is a bit greedy, he is not a big problem in the eyes of the public. How many officials are not greedy? Why did he let the court do it quietly?

In particular, Lord Luo sent someone to inquire about it. He went back to Shujing and said, "xingku, at the beginning, we were quick to see the opportunity, but we didn't continue to fight with the Shen family. Otherwise, we can't say our end is miserable." Because of his short time as an official and timid, Zhang Tongzhi has never been involved in anything that is really related to human life. However, magistrate Luo is not the same. He is quite cruel in his work. In order to climb up, he has done several things that hurt the natural sense.

After listening to her husband's words, Shujing also felt a little afraid, "how can Xianggong know that this is the Shen family's hand? Their family is very respectable among the nobility, and they have won over a lot of civil servants? "

Lord Luo sighed, "you're right. It can't be counted on the Shen family. It should be done by Mrs. Shen."

Shujing exclaimed, "how could it be her?"

Lord Luo replied, "why can't it be her! If it wasn't for Zhang Tongzhi and his wife's idea to fight lady Lin, I'm afraid they would not have brought this disaster! The world only looks at Mrs. Shen's servant girl background, but forgets that her brother is now a senior official, and the Minister of the Ministry of official is her adoptive father. Apart from Han Shangshu, it is estimated that such a small official can't reach his old man. As far as Lin Zhuangyuan himself is concerned, there are countless close disciples of Han imperial master. If Zhang Tongzhi is clean, it's not easy for others to deal with him because of his pigtails? "
