"Trouble ......"
Zhao Junchen muttered. (The first text is published in the reading room biquge.info)
I used to focus on the overall situation, but I ignored the things around me.
If he even forgets the wives and concubines around him, he will inevitably attract suspicion.
"As the saying goes, you can't hide it from anyone, you can't hide it from the person next to you, don't show your feet, it's really not good, and you can only use injury and amnesia as an excuse to shirk it."
Zhao Junchen thought helplessly.
Although, these days, Zhao Junchen has been explaining his abnormal expression to Xu Qingyan under the pretext of "injury and amnesia", but after returning to the capital, Zhao Junchen doesn't want to use this excuse anymore - especially in the court, using this excuse again will make him fall into passivity.
Not to mention that once Emperor Deqing knew about the attack by the people throwing stones, with the character of Emperor Deqing, the people who attacked him would inevitably lose their lives, and many innocent people would be implicated if they were not good, and even Liu Changan, who had become a henchman of Zhao Junchen, could not escape responsibility.
What's more, once this matter is known to Zhao Junchen's political enemies, those people will inevitably use Zhao Junchen's amnesia as an excuse to "kindly" build Emperor Deqing to let Zhao Junchen recuperate at home, in order to take the opportunity to seize power!! And the financial power in his hands is the foundation of Zhao Junchen's foothold in the government and the opposition, how can he give it up lightly?
Therefore, Zhao Junchen had already told Xu Qingyan that he must not disclose his "injury and amnesia" to others.
Even so, if he really can't hide it, Zhao Junchen can only raise the shield of "injured amnesia" again, but fortunately, they are just people in his own mansion, and they can't reach the ears of Zhao Junchen's political enemies.
However, before that, Zhao Junchen still decided to inquire with Xu Qingyan first, and first have a general understanding of the wives and concubines in the house, and after some preparation and understanding, maybe he can hide it.
After all, Zhao Junchen once said to Xu Qingyan that although he has amnesia, he is not strict, but he has forgotten some unimportant things, if he even forgets his wife and concubine now, it will be too much to say.
………
"Qingyan, come here, I have something to ask you."
Thinking like this, Zhao Junchen shouted outside the car.
Not long after Zhao Junchen's words fell, Xu Qingyan had already jumped into Zhao Junchen's carriage, and after entering the carriage, he sat next to Zhao Junchen and asked, "Young Master, what do you command?" ”
After pondering for a moment, Zhao Junchen asked, "Qingyan, what do you think about that...... Well, what do you think of that Mrs. Ruyi? ”
To Zhao Junchen's surprise, Xu Qingyan not only didn't feel that Zhao Junchen's question was abrupt, but after being slightly stunned, he seemed to think of something, and his face was full of surprise.
"Young master, you finally figured it out!! I told you a long time ago that Mrs. Ruyi is too shrewd, she will find out the problem sooner or later, and at that time, with her means, we will be in trouble, and we must be wary of her. ”
Hearing Xu Qingyan say this, Zhao Junchen only felt inexplicable, but he couldn't ask in detail, so he could only say with a flat face: "Qingyan, don't care what I think, first tell me what you think of her, and talk about it in detail!" ”
After Xu Qingyan's explanation, Zhao Junchen finally understood why Xu Qingyan had such an abnormality after mentioning "Mrs. Ruyi".
Zhao Junchen has not married the main room, not even the side room, but there are several concubines, and the most favored of them is Mrs. Ruyi.
Mrs. Ruyi's name is Fang Ru, because she was favored by the original Zhao Junchen's special room, and the people in Zhao Junchen's house did not dare to look down on her because she was just a concubine, and they all respectfully called her Mrs. Ruyi.
This Fang Ru was from a bad background, and was sold into the Qinglou by traffickers at a young age, because he was a beauty billet since he was a child, he was not only cultivated by the Qinglou as the top brand, but also suffered a lot of humiliation and abuse.
Two years ago, Fang Ru was in the second eight, although he had not yet "come out of the cabinet", but he was already famous in Beijing, everyone knew that there was a woman named Fang Ru in the Baihua Building, who was charming in appearance and talented, on that day, Fang Ru sold herself for the first time, and the one with the highest price won it, which actually caused a commotion in the city, but fortunately, the original Zhao Junchen made a timely move, not only redeemed Fang Ru, but also brought her into the house as a concubine, so that she avoided the life of the Qinglou sent to her.
However, after Fang Ru entered Zhao Junchen's mansion and won Zhao Junchen's favor, she actually made a request - she wanted everyone in Baihualou not to die well!!
Obviously, the countless humiliations and abuses he has received since he was a child have made Fang Ru hate the old bustard, the turtle prince and even the "sisters" of Baihualou to the core.
At that time, Zhao Junchen met Fang Ru's request, and within a few days, there was a poisoning case in Baihualou, and no one survived, which became a major unsolved case in the capital so far.
That poison was forced by Fang Ru to drink it one by one in the Baihua Building.
Since that day, Xu Qingyan has been wary of Fang Ru.
Without him, the behind-the-scenes boss of Baihualou is none other than Zhao Junchen himself!!
At that time, Zhao Junchen thought that as long as the people in Baihualou died, there would be no one else who knew except him and Xu Qingyan, and no one would know this secret.
But Xu Qingyan didn't dare to think so, because Fang Ru was too shrewd while his temperament was extreme.
Maybe it's because she has lived in Qinglou since she was a child, Fang Ru's values are quite distorted, she knows that Zhao Junchen is corrupt and perverts the law, but she is not disgusted, but like a virtuous helper, she gives advice and advice to Zhao Junchen, and even many times many things, Zhao Junchen is inconvenient to come forward, and Xu Qingyan is not capable, Fang Ru is in charge.
During this period, Fang Ru's shrewdness and decisiveness made Xu Qingyan more and more worried, and he was worried that Fang Ru would know that the boss behind Baihualou was Zhao Junchen himself, in that case, with Fang Ru's radical nature and shrewd methods, what kind of things would he do, Xu Qingyan didn't dare to imagine.
For this reason, Xu Qingyan reminded Zhao Junchen many times, but the original Zhao Junchen was too fond of that Fang Ru, and it can even be said that he was the favorite of the special room, if it weren't for Fang Ru's background, she would have been promoted to the side room, and he couldn't listen to Xu Qingyan's reminder and warning at all, Xu Qingyan had no choice but to monitor carefully.
And this is also the reason why Xu Qingyan has never met Fang Ru in front of Zhao Junchen in the past two months.
………
"Young master, it's not me saying you, you used to love that Fang Ru too much, and you trusted her too much, if you continue like this, something will go wrong sooner or later......"
After explaining, Xu Qingyan complained to Zhao Junchen again.
Cosset? Trust?
Hearing Xu Qingyan say this, Zhao Junchen felt quite funny, this Xu Qingyan also looked up to the original Zhao Junchen too highly, and in the memory he inherited, he didn't even have the slightest memory of Fang Ru, which shows that the original Zhao Junchen didn't take Fang Ru to heart at all, just used it.
However, Zhao Junchen naturally couldn't say this kind of thing clearly, so he just nodded and said to Xu Qingyan: "I understand, I will be careful in the future, you don't have to worry." ”
After understanding that he didn't have any wives and concubines, only one concubine had more contact with the original Zhao Junchen, Zhao Junchen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, although in Xu Qingyan's mouth, this concubine was shrewd and terrifying.
At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped.
Xu Qingyan was slightly stunned, opened the curtain and took a look, but saw that the convoy had come to the gate of the capital while the two were talking, but for some reason, the city gate was crowded at this time, blocking the road of the convoy.
Before Zhao Junchen could say anything, Xu Qingyan had already ordered an accompanying guard: "Go and see what's going on, let them get out of the way." ”
The guard nodded, then drove his horse forward and shouted loudly, "The frame of Lord Zhao, the head of the household, is here, hurry up and give way!" ”
As the guard's words fell, the originally noisy city gate suddenly fell silent for a moment, followed by a burst of chickens and dogs, mixed with "It's Zhao Junchen, the head of the household, who is here!" After a while, the road in front of the city gate was cleared.
Zhao Junchen opened the curtain and saw the panicked looks of the people around him when they looked at the convoy, and understood the depth of their fear and resentment towards him, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Unlike Lu'an Mansion, in the land of the capital, his reputation Zhao Junchen is even worse, and it is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is not as simple as in Lu'an Mansion if he wants to reverse it.
"Don't yell so much in the future." After glaring at Xu Qingyan, seeing Xu Qingyan's innocent face, Zhao Junchen sighed helplessly and said, "Forget it, let's go, let's go home." ”
………
And with such a fuss, the news of Zhao Junchen's return to Beijing quickly reached the ears of those who had a heart.
