Not far away, there stood a young man with a drooping little face, looking coldly at the porter. The young man in Tsing Yi who followed behind him anxiously persuaded the young man to do something, and the young man snorted coldly, but he shouldn't.

Sun Wencheng brought his sons over to ask for peace some time ago, and the porter still remembered that he didn't dare to make an idea when he saw this, so he went back to report to the steward Wu Sheng.

Wu Sheng heard that it was "Sun Wuye", and remembered which one it was, it was the sibling brother of the eldest aunt's family.

In addition to the Li family, this also involved the Sun family, Wu Sheng didn't dare to be self-focused, but asked Su Xin, who was in charge of the internal affairs of the West Mansion, to take the idea.

The young man was Sun Ban, and when he saw that the Li family had reported his name, the concierge of the Cao family did not come forward to ask for peace, but went behind closed doors, and his little face was red with anger.

Ignoring the little guy's obstruction, he "kicked" a few steps forward on the ground, looked up at the plaque, and said, "It's really shameful to be so powerful!" ”

The man on the ground saw this closed gate, he was desperate, listened to Sun Ban's words, turned around and knelt in front of him, and cried: "Please also ask the fifth master to call the shots of the little one, now the situation in the south has changed, earlier only the master, the uncle and a few stewards were detained, and the family members were just not allowed to go out, but now even the third young master has been detained." The third young master's body is not solid, where can he afford this. If there is no one to help, the third young master ...... The little one is still smart, so he was able to hide outside the house......" In the end, he couldn't cry.

He is Li Cheng's grandfather, named Wang Gui. Because the daughter-in-law she married was Sun's dowry, she was often sent to Hangzhou to pay tribute in her early years and saw Sun Wencheng.

The three generations of the Li family's ancestors and grandchildren are in prison, and it was the Sun family who took the opportunity to send Wang Gui to Beijing, originally asking him to go to the Sun family and ask his mother's family to help him move around.

Sun Wencheng didn't see Wang Gui, but only sent the housekeeper to reward him with two taels of silver and sent him out. The reason is also sufficient, now there is no one with grade here, how to go to the officialdom to move around?

Sun Ban happened to encounter this matter, and he was very unwilling, the Li family is the in-laws of the Sun family, or the uncle of Caofu. Why is it that at this time, the Li family is in prison, the Sun family is idle at home, and there is only the scenery of the Cao family?

Therefore, he showed Wang Gui the way and asked him to come to Cao's house. Even if the Cao family refuses to help, there is still a second old lady of the Li family, and they can't watch the younger generations of the family suffer.

After the Cao family's porter did not give the communication, he came over again to participate.

Their crying inevitably attracted the sideways glances of passers-by, and they didn't know how to do anything, so there were people standing not far away to watch the excitement.

In front of everyone's eyes, Sun Ban felt that he had lost face, kicked the man away, and said, "What are you crying about? ”

Just when Su Xin got the news, he came to the front yard with a few maids, and heard the noise outside the gate.

Su Xin asked that there were only three people, so he instructed Wu Sheng to "invite" them in, so as not to make a mess at the gate and make people see jokes.

As for the person who comes, if you really can't leave, you will find an excuse to delay for a few days. The fifth master of the Sun family asked someone from the Sun family to discipline him.

When Sun Ban saw that someone in charge came out, he was already a little proud, and walked in with his chin raised.

When he arrived in the side hall, he held the shelf and said, "I haven't been here for a long time, I'll go and say hello to the old lady." ”

He also kept an eye on it, thinking that the Li family was the aunt and grandmother from the Li family, and she nodded when she said it, and Cao Hao, who was a son, also had to listen.

Wu Sheng only glanced at it, and saw that this Sun Ban was arrogant in his words and his eyebrows flashed, and he was not an honest person. I used to think that he was a cousin, but now that I have Su Xin, I already have a plan in my heart.

In his early years, he worked as an errand boy by Cao Yin's side in Jiangning, and after returning to Beijing, he served as the head of Cao's mansion, going back and forth to the homes of the powerful, and he had already practiced his eloquence.

casually sent a small guy to the second door to spread the word, and then he moved Laxi to talk, without a word of truth.

is very good at flattery, and he has a "fifth master", and he can't find Sun Ban in the north.

Wang Gui is still old, a little more knowledgeable, and he is very anxious when he sees that this person is in charge of things.

Sun Ban ate two cups of tea, and before he saw the little guy talking back, he urged Wu Sheng to send someone again. Wu Sheng responded with a full mouth, and sent a little servant to pass the word.

Wang Gui couldn't help it, and bowed down and said, "Uncle housekeeper, it's not cheap to see our aunt and grandmother, but it's okay to see our second old lady." ”

Wu Sheng glanced at him, only frowned and asked Sun Bandao, "Fifth Master, which one is this?" Arbitrarily interjected, so I don't know the rules. ”

Sun Ban was also annoyed that Wang Gui was rude, glared at him, and said, "This is Wang Gui, the steward of the Li family in Suzhou, who was ordered to come to greet the two elders." ”

When Wu Sheng heard this, he stood up, hugged his fists and said, "It turned out that the king was in charge, and he was negligent." I don't know if the king is on the orders of the master of my uncle's family, but there is a letter? ”

He asked like this because he knew that Wang Gui had come once, and he only said that he wanted to see him but did not mention the letter from home.

If there was a family letter, he would have taken it out to confirm his identity, instead of sending Sun Ban over.

Sure enough, Wang Guizhi said: "On the orders of our grandmother...... No letters from home......"

When Wu Sheng heard this, he became more and more sure in his heart, and immediately straightened his face and said, "I haven't heard of any slaves who come to the door at will to ask for peace to the master of a relative's family!" If this is the case, then wouldn't this Earl's Mansion be accessible to pigs, dogs, horses, and cows? ”

Speaking of this, he turned to Sun Ban and said, "Fifth Master, this is really my uncle's steward, you are not mistaken, right?" Our uncle's family is a family of eunuchs, how can there be such a steward who doesn't know the rules? Don't let him have a mind on the side, coaxing the fifth master? The fifth master has lived in the south for a long time, and he doesn't know that the boundary of the capital is mixed, and the people who practice the trick of abduction and deception are like carp crossing the river. ”

As he spoke, he also glanced at Sun Ban a few times.

Sun Ban saw that there was suspicion in his eyes, and he regarded himself as an easily deceived bun, he was very angry, and said, "He came out of my house, where did he admit his mistake?" My father also rewarded him with two taels of silver. ”

Wu Sheng remained silent, and said in a long voice: "Since you are really your uncle's subordinate, why do you come to the door with empty mouths and white teeth?" Still asking to see the master? It can't be that he committed something and was kicked out, still under the banner of his uncle, right? ”

Sun Bandao: "There is a letter, it is for my father." He is a loyal servant......"

actually "crackled" and said everything he knew.

Wu Sheng listened carefully, and realized that he didn't have anything to do with his own family, it seemed that it was Sun Ban in front of him who was causing trouble, and he hated it in his heart.

After Sun Ban finished speaking, he regretted it a little, but he still didn't take it seriously, and urged Wu Sheng to send people to the Li family and the Gao family.

Wu Sheng only said that the little guys were naughty, and asked Sun Ban to do a little bit and urge him personally.

Sun Ban waved his hand and told him to go, and then his eyes looked at the ornaments and furnishings in this room, most of them were ordinary things, and he didn't see the extravagance of gold and jade, and couldn't help but whisper: "Could it be an empty shelf......"

Wu Sheng came out of the side hall and ate tea in the gatehouse, and after a while, a little guy saw a little guy come in and tell him that the second master of the Sun family was here.

Wu Sheng had already gotten up and personally came out to welcome Sun Jin inside, but he didn't move after passing the shadow wall, he only pointed to the side hall, and said, "Second master, fifth master...... The fifth master ...... There are some things that should not be said by the subordinates, but after all, the fifth master is the cousin of Cao Fu, and the uncle of our aunt and grandmother...... If there is a mistake, how can it be good? ”

When Sun Jin heard this, he was shocked and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Wu Sheng took a silver seal, stuffed it into Sun Jin's hand, and said, "Please also ask the second master to talk to the fifth master...... The capital is prosperous, but it is also a place of filth and filth...... There are some things that you should never ...... This is a relative's house, and the fifth master will not be ...... If it's someone else, the fifth master ......"

He only said half a sentence of every sentence, and Sun Jin was even more worried when he heard it.

Sun Jin still wanted to ask for details, but Sun Ban had already heard movement in the side hall and looked out.

Seeing Sun Jin, he said "Huh", walked out, and said, "Why is the second brother here?" ”

In front of him, Sun Jin was not good again, and said, "Fifth brother, there is something at home, and my father told you to go home." ”

Sun Ban came out of the hall, only to feel strange, what happened at home, why did his father know that he was in Cao Mansion.

He came to Cao's house without telling his family, and he didn't dare to stay longer, for fear of leaking his mouth, so he hurriedly followed Sun Jin with him.

When Wang Gui saw that the Sun brothers were gone, he still refused to give up. Wu Sheng was afraid that he would go out and talk nonsense, so he coaxed a few words, but the head of the family was not there, so it was not easy to make up his mind, so he asked him to come back in a while.

Wang Gui couldn't, so he had to go to ...... in a huffed manner* Wu Sheng finished his errand and told Su Xin one by one, and he didn't even fall behind to teach Sun Ban a lesson.

Wu Sheng was ordered to send people, and some small means were nothing, but the Sun family was cousins after all, Su Xin didn't say anything on his face, but he understood in his heart that the relationship between the Cao and Sun families was not eased because Sun Wencheng went to Beijing.

Even the Li family didn't see anyone, so it can be seen that the Cao family had chosen to watch the Li family's imprisonment.

When Cao Fu came back from the Hanlin Academy, when he heard about it, he sank for a while and said: "The eldest brother is like this, but he is also helpless, the eldest brother is busy in the first month, just for the Li family...... Later, I was admonished by the thirteenth master, and I was afraid of dragging down the family, so I had to be ruthless......"

This is Cao Hao's decision, Su Xin is a brother and daughter-in-law, and there is no room for questioning, so he diverged from the conversation.

Cao Fu looked down on the Sun family in his heart, and when he heard that Wu Mao had taught Sun Ban a lesson, he made people stare at the Sun family, waiting to see the jokes of the Sun family, which is not to mention later...... * Yang Jiazha Palace, the eldest princess of Kejing.

In addition to Chu Yu coming to ask for peace, after the Prince of Ping, Fujin Cao Jia and Cao Yi visited together, all accompanied by a few words, and then went to the Li family in the East House.

The eldest princess Kejing saw that Li's daughter was considerate and her daughter-in-law was submissive, and she was envious.

The Li family couldn't cry or laugh, and the mother and daughter, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were rarely reunited, but they were in the emperor's palace.

Cao Jiashi and Cao Yi had already read the holy decree, and both of them were speechless. In addition to not giving the princess's mansion, the people under this carriage and horses are all treated by Princess Gulun.

Li does not like to be ostentatious, and warned the two sisters that they should not come again when they understand it, so as not to let others gossip.

* The Emperor is here.

Yongzheng saw that the secret decree handed over by Jiang Nan was Li Xu's case.

When he saw that the silver money found by the Li family was only three or four thousand taels, he couldn't help frowning, and a little sarcasm appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He didn't believe that the Li family only had this kind of family background, and there were two possibilities, one was that they had transferred their assets, and the other was that the people who went to raid the house hid too much.

If you take care of the accounts that have not been confiscated from the outside, there will be two boxes of IOUs, a few dozen taels and a maximum of tens of thousands, and a maximum of 34,000 taels of silver with principal and interest.

Even in the capital, where the powerful gather, there are only a handful of people who can lend tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Looking at the real estate, the house, and all kinds of furniture, Yongzheng's face became darker and darker......
