Chapter 849 The vicious woman who poisoned her husband 17
The ladies of the various mansions exchanged glances, and understood tacitly—
Tsk~
It has to be the current emperor.
On the surface, he let the mighty general off lightly, but in fact, he let Ji Hefu take the blame and killed him to make an example of him, right?
Ji Hefu is a good person to get along with.
Are you taking all the blame for this?
They said that judging from the emperor's usual style, he was not a tolerant and generous person. The mighty general's mansion pointed at him and scolded him, but he just brushed it off.
So it means the settlement is delayed, right?
The above are the thoughts of the ladies from various mansions who had talked with Shu Jiao.
After hearing the news, those governments that had no contact with Shu Jiao developed obvious fear and dread of Ji Hefu.
Just because someone impeached him, he killed someone.
What a cruel attack!
Ji Hefu is a man who cannot be provoked.
If you insist on provoking him, you have to beat him to death with a stick, otherwise you will be doomed.
Emperor Kang Zheng: ???
"Ji Hefu framed General Weiwu and killed him in order to retaliate against him for impeaching him?"
To be honest, Emperor Kang Zheng was confused when he heard the news.
Others may not know why Ji Hefu dealt with Yuan Guang, but doesn’t he know?
That's not even what he hinted at.
and!
This news has spread all over the streets, there is no way Ji Hefu doesn't know about it, but he doesn't care at all?
Emperor Kangzheng was somewhat curious, so he summoned Ji Hefu to question him.
Ji Hefu lowered his eyebrows and looked very respectful, "Your Majesty, I am actually thinking about the emperor!"
Emperor Kang Zheng: ...
If you say so, I'm interested.
"Tell me carefully."
Ji Hefu began to explain, "Your Majesty, General Weiwu's son caused that incident not long ago, and coupled with the Zuo Minghou Mansion..."
"These two are both meritorious officials. I am afraid that others will misunderstand and tarnish your reputation, so I released this news."
Ji Hefu paused and didn't continue.
But Emperor Kang Zheng understood.
Accidents occurred at the Mansion of Marquis Zuo Ming and the Mansion of General Weiwu one after another.
What if someone misunderstood that he was starting to settle accounts with meritorious officials, wouldn't it cause turmoil in the court and make the officials uneasy?
In comparison, it is much easier to deal with the case of Ji Hefu being vicious, vindictive, and deliberately retaliating.
He looked at Ji Hefu with a look of relief in his eyes, "My dear, I was right about you."
This kid is worthy of being promoted by him.
It's loyalty!
"I will not hesitate to die to relieve the emperor's worries."
Ji Hefu said again: "It's just that I acted on my own initiative in this matter, and I didn't ask the emperor for his opinion. I hope the emperor will punish me."
Punishment?
What is this punishment for?
Isn't Ji Hefu doing this for the sake of his reputation?
Emperor Kang Zheng smiled and said, "My dear minister, let's not talk about this. Has the Third Master done anything unusual recently?"
"The Third Prince is fine, but the Crown Prince seems..."
Ji Hefu paused for a moment before continuing, "The prince secretly handed me some evidence of the crimes of the court officials, hoping to use me to get rid of these people."
"The third brother's people?"
"Yes."
"Ha~"
Emperor Kang Zheng laughed mockingly, "The third brother is very patient. I thought he would beat the fallen dog. Since the crown prince has handed the evidence to you, you can do whatever you want."
"Leave some manpower for the third brother, don't let him get scared."
How can I continue to fight with the prince when I'm so scared?
If he doesn't jump out to challenge the prince, how can he, as the emperor, sit back and watch the fight between two tigers and maintain his noble status?
"I understand."
Ji Hefu lowered his head, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.
The Third Prince, the Third Prince~
Your father is really sure you want to steal his throne this time~
You better keep your head close to it, be careful not to lose it!
"My dear, I heard that your wife likes fine clothes and pearls?"
Emperor Kang Zheng suddenly asked.
After hearing this, Ji Hefu was a little unsure of what he meant, so he replied, "Madam is young and kind, and she is good at managing the household. This is her only preference, so I will naturally give in to her a little more."
"Ah."
Emperor Kangzheng replied with this word and told Ji Hefu to leave.
Ji Hefu:???
what do you mean?
Of course, it was impossible for him to strangle Emperor Kang Zheng and force him to give a clear answer.
He could only think on his own.
Did Emperor Kang Zheng hint that he was corrupt or taking bribes, or was it something else?
As a result, as soon as he returned home, he received a reward from the palace.
Um--
Several boxes of gold.
Ji Hefu: ...
It seems that what the madam did this time really hit the emperor's heart.
He immediately sent all the gold to Shu Jiao's courtyard.
"Madam is really smart."
Ji Hefu praised.
Then he briefly told Shu Jiao about today's conversation with Emperor Kang Zheng.
Shu Jiao raised her head slightly with a little pride, "Oh, my husband, my shoulder is a little sore~"
It looks quite cute.
Ji Hefu looked at her with a smile on his face, and coaxed her, "Then I'll give you a massage. Madam, you must tell me if the pressure is too light or too heavy."
"My legs are a little sore, too."
"it is good."
Ji Hefu changed his sitting position, put Shu Jiao's legs on his legs, and massaged them attentively and seriously.
Shu Jiao was half-sitting on the couch, holding her face lightly with one hand and looking at him with her head tilted.
The atmosphere was just right for the moment.
Ji Hefu felt quite satisfied when he saw her eyes on him.
But within two days, Ji Hefu became busy.
The emperor assigned him tasks, the crown prince found him jobs, and several princes wanted to dethrone the crown prince, so they often sent him messages.
He has so much to do that he has to work overtime all day.
Shu Jiao waited for him at first.
Later, I was too lazy to wait and just entertained myself.
There has been a lot of news in the mansion recently, and all the spies have started to move. Shu Jiao has nothing to do, so she asked someone to capture the evidence.
"Ma'am, those guys are moving."
Qingwu suddenly came to report.
"Oh?"
Shu Jiao chuckled playfully, "Caught?"
"We caught him. The evidence is solid."
"it is good!"
Shu Jiao stood up and put the account books together, "Let's go and deal with the trouble."
When the master and servant walked into the courtyard, they saw several people being forced to kneel on the ground, including the old woman, the maid, and the front yard boy...
The servants of the mansion were also standing in the yard.
The attendant brought a chair and Shu Jiao sat down. He picked up the tea lid and scratched the teacup casually, saying calmly, "Tell me, what happened?"
"Madam, we found fifty taels of silver under Mrs. Wang's pillow. There is no record of this in the mansion..."
"At midnight the night before, Tian Zhu secretly delivered the letter under the pretext of going to the toilet..."
As Qing Wu spoke, he asked someone to present evidence.
Catch the thief and seize the stolen goods!
"You guys~"
Shu Jiao sighed softly, her face full of disappointment and sadness, "Since I married my husband and took care of all the affairs in the mansion, have I ever treated you badly?"
"Have I ever deducted a penny from your monthly salary?"
"I understand you and have told you that if you have any difficulties, just go to the steward and get some money."
"Normally, if you guys make some mistakes, as long as it doesn't affect the main business, I will turn a blind eye and never pursue it. But you, why are you doing this?"
Shu Jiao said this, looking at the servants standing in the yard.
Some of them had flickering eyes and looked so stupid that it was obvious that there was something wrong with them.
