Chapter 139 Identity Exposed
"After years of development, the Qu Family's Benzong has become one of the largest clans in Dongyin County. Mr. He will come to Dongyin County to serve as the county magistrate, so he must visit the Qu Family's Benzong." Shi Yun said fairly, " However, I don't know how they communicate in private. But there are indeed not many contacts in the public. "
Chen Chaoyan took advantage of the situation and asked, "Are there any members of the Qu family in this purge?"
"Not only the Qu family's main sect, but also several large families with similar power as the Qu family's main sect." Shi Yun said, "There are also many small families."
Chen Chaoyan was not surprised by this. He Yunhu came to Dongyin County alone to take up the post. If there were no local forces secretly helping him, how could he dare to act recklessly so quickly?After taking a sip of tea and listening to Yue Jian's output, Chen Chaoyan smiled and said, "If it's like that, it's becoming more and more respectable for Mr. Shi."
"Miss Chen is serious." Shi Yun's eyes were clear and calm, "The children of the poor, who studied hard for ten years, won the Jinshi once, and after being appointed as an official, it is normal to indulge in pleasure. As long as you indulge in pleasure, you will not lose your temper." The people were persecuted so conscientiously that they were left homeless or had no clothes or enough food to eat, and everyone just endured it and passed.”
"If you indulge in too much pleasure, like Mr. He, relying on the benefits of being an official, completely disregarding the lives of the people, and everyone can't bear it no matter how much they endure, then they can only stand up and expose him."
"My father..." Shi Yun lowered her eyes slightly, and after a while, she continued, "My father is not as precious and respectable as Miss Chen said. We grew up in Dongyin County since we were young. If he does, he will always be in Dongyin County for the rest of his life. Dongyin County is our home and our roots, if Mr. He wants to destroy our home and dig up our roots, my father will naturally stand up and expose him."
"At the end of the day, my father has the heart to fight for the injustice of the common people, but in the end it is because his own interests are involved, so he dares to stand up and expose Mr. He regardless of the consequences."
What a smart girl, Chen Chaoyan's eyes flashed a little appreciation.Shi Feng's act of exposing He Yunhu, no matter whether it was out of selfishness or publicity, would undoubtedly offend all the clans involved.The clan is powerful and involves a lot, even Xie Xuan would not be able to uproot them all at once just because they helped He Yunhu do harm to the common people.The disaster caused by this is that there is no guarantee that they will not report him in the same way as others.
In the officialdom, how many people are there who really have a clean sleeve?
Shi Yun is getting a vaccination in advance.
In the future, if the Qu family wants to expose Shi Feng, there is this inoculation. As long as he is not like He Yunhu, who is so rampant that he doesn't care about the life and death of the people, Xie Xuan will definitely not punish him severely.
Thinking this way in her heart, Chen Chaoyan said with a smile on her face, "What is protecting the family and the country? You must have a family in your heart before you can sacrifice yourself for the country. Master Shi can bravely stand up to testify against He Yunhu regardless of his heart. Everywhere, the people have been saved from water and fire. Just because of this, he is also a valuable and respectable person."
Seeing that Chen Chaoyan understood the meaning of her words, Shi Yun smiled lightly and said, "Originally, I should have prepared two tables of banquets first, and then apologized to Ms. Chen. But after getting worried, Ms. Chen left immediately. Just take advantage of what's available, replace wine with tea, and make amends to Miss Chen first."
"Two days ago, when I was looking for an opportunity to expose, in order not to attract the attention of people around me, I deliberately used He Qiluo to throw stones at Ms. Chen to ask for directions. Please don't blame Ms. Chen."
Yuejian was surprised: "Then He Yunhu still arranged eyes and ears by your side?"
Shi Yun nodded calmly, "He Yunhu is a minion for a tiger, so he is naturally afraid of being exposed. The county government, shops and teahouses, and even towns and villages are all supervised by him. The maid named Qiuyan who is missing by my side is It was arranged by He Yunhu to supervise me. Rongrong, Huaijin and He Yue also have eyes and ears like her. Therefore, before Ms. Chen came to Dongyin County, although I had heard of Ms. Chen's reputation, I still didn't dare As soon as they met rashly, they would talk about the matter directly. They could only take advantage of He Qiluo's defiant attitude and first throw stones at Miss Chen to ask for directions."
Chen Chaoyan raised the teacup, touched her briefly, took a few sips, and said with a smile: "Since it's to expose He Yunhu, it's not a matter of apologizing. It's just that the two tables of banquets are unavoidable. Okay? Wouldn't it be a pity to come back to Dongyin County once and leave without eating?"
After Shi Yun's eyes lit up slightly, she also started joking: "I originally said this, just to show that I was careful in handling things, but I didn't expect Miss Chen to take it seriously. Now it's all right, not only the banquet is unavoidable, but also a special event. Just do it."
"That's right." Chen Chaoyan joked, "If it's bad, I'll turn my back on you. I'm currently in the prince's favor, and if you offend me, you won't have any fruit."
"Yes, yes, yes," Shi Yun said with a smile, "I will definitely do something special to make sure Miss Chen eats and drinks well."
Taking advantage of the good atmosphere, Yue Jian hurriedly said: "Since Ma Quan has already confessed to Wu Hai, don't we need to look for Qi Wu's clues?"
The servant who stayed behind to wait on him jokingly said, "Ma Quan confessed to Wu Hai, what does it have to do with you inquiring about Qi Wu?"
"Pull out the radish and bring out the mud." Yue Jian said confidently, "Ma Quan can confess to Wu Hai, so Wu Hai must be able to confess to others. One can always confess to Qi Wu."
"It makes sense." Chen Chaoyan nodded in agreement, "However, you have to take care of Zha Qiwu's matter yourself. In the end, whether it's the radish or the mud that they brought out, when they come to confess, you have to do it yourself. It’s recorded. It’s just like what was recorded by the secretary when I asked Qu’an two days ago.”
Yuejian responded with a quick hello.
Chen Chaoyan had already finished asking all the questions she should have asked.
While chatting, the sunset is gone, and the night is coming, and the lanterns of various colors hanging in the eaves, promenades, pavilions and gardens are gradually lit up.
Lined with the bright white moonlight, it is another scene.
After chatting with Shi Yun for a while, seeing that it was late, he wanted to get up and leave.Ban Xia came quickly at the right time and asked where Chen Chaoyan was going to have dinner tonight.
"Just here." Chen Chaoyan said, "Prepare a few more dishes, and Miss Shi Er will stay here to eat with me."
Pinellia should be ready, quit and get ready.
Seeing this, Shi Yun had no choice but to sit back, and while drinking tea, quietly glanced at Yuejian and Shishu, and at the direction where Banxia left.When she was in Pingba earlier, she and Xie Xuan were the only ones sitting.Now, Xie Xuan's maid came over to ask her where to eat.It was rumored outside that after she climbed up to Xie Xuan, she transformed from a pheasant into a phoenix.But judging from the attitudes of Yue Jian and the others towards her, it was not as if they were treating a pheasant that had turned into a phoenix, but more like they were treating her master.
Reminiscent of Xie Xuan's gentle appearance with smiles on his brows and eyes when he was talking to her, when Shi Yun put down his teacup, he looked at Chen Chaoyan calmly.It seemed that the vague thoughts in her heart were indeed correct.
"Miss Shi Er's banquet will be set up slowly, let me borrow flowers to present Buddha today, and treat Miss Shi Er to have a meal first." Chen Chaoyan helped clear the tea, fruit and snacks on the table while laughing.
Shi Yun also tidied up with her and said with a smile: "Miss Chen has already said so, so I can only be respectful rather than obedient."
For a while, all the tea, fruit and snacks were withdrawn to the side, and all kinds of dishes were put on the table one by one.When eating with Xie Xuan, you have to follow his rules.Now that he is not here, Chen Chaoyan forced Yuejian and Shishu to sit down and have dinner together to join in the fun.
It's not a formal occasion, and in this place where the flowers are full and the moon is full, Chen Chaoyan put aside the rule of 'don't talk when you eat, don't talk when you sleep', and after eating half full, she asked gossipingly: "How long has your father been in the county government?" gone?"
Shi Yun swallowed the food in her mouth, drank two more sips of tea, swallowed the residue, and said: "This year is the 19th year of No. [-]."
Yue Jian answered: "That is, two years after the Qu family case, your father entered the county government office?"
Shi Yun nodded.
"In this way, didn't you witness the downfall of the Quzhai?" Yue Jian asked curiously, "Before the Quzhai collapsed, wasn't the courtyard stretched into stretches, painted pillars and carved beams, so brilliant?"
The secretary laughed at her, "How old is Miss Shi Er? When her father entered the county government, she hadn't given birth yet. How can I witness the downfall of Qu Zhai with my own eyes?"
"That's right." Yue Jian said softly, "I've been running around outside under the scorching sun for the past two days, my mind has been sunburned, and I'm talking nonsense."
"I think it's because Lingyou is not here, no one is teasing you, so you don't have a chance to use your brain, give it a free time." Shi Shu took the opportunity and teased again.
Yuejian counterattacked: "You keep talking about Lingyou all the time, do you have any thoughts about Lingyou? If so, I can go and tell the young master and let the young master fulfill you."
The servant shook his head with a smile, "I do have some thoughts about Lingyou, but I dare not let the young master do it, I'm afraid you will hit me."
"I'll beat you up..." Yue Jian was halfway through her words, but she suddenly recalled it, and after glaring at her, she snorted, "If you have an idea, just say it, what does it have to do with me!"
After Chen Chaoyan blinked at Shi Yun, she smiled and watched the two quarrel.
"Whether it has anything to do with you or not is not just a matter of lip service." Shi Shu took time off.
Yue Jian said coldly: "Then you bring a pen and paper, and I will make an oath for you."
"What oath?" Lingyou's clear voice came from the direction of the moon-shaped arch suddenly.
Chen Chaoyan and Shishu followed the prestige immediately.
Lingyou was dressed in black, looking embarrassed and dusty.But his eyes were as bright and clear as the stars in the sky.
When Yuejian saw him, a gleam of joy flashed unconsciously in his eyes, and immediately he said with a sullen face: "It's none of your business!"
"It's really none of my business?" Ling You patted the big package behind him, "I went to Xiangsu Zhai and queued for nearly half an hour to buy someone her favorite plum cake. Really If it's none of my business, I'm going to throw this plum cake to the dogs!"
As soon as Yuejian heard the plum cake, she immediately put down her chopsticks and stood up, "How dare you!"
"Yes, yes, I don't dare. Come quickly and give me a hand, lest your plum cake break. I've been traveling all the way, and I'm almost exhausted." Lingyou complained.
Yue Jian hurried over, and while helping him with the package, said: "With such a big package, you deserve it if you are exhausted!"
"Do you think I want to bring such a big package? Didn't I bring you sweet-scented osmanthus cake, lotus cake, pear cake and plum blossom stuffing in addition to plum blossom cake? Besides, I brought you all of them, why don't you bring them to the princess? Bring it to Bai Shao, Shi Shu and the others?" Ling You hummed as he walked in.
princess?
Shi Yun quickly looked at Chen Chaoyan.
