Chapter 1066 Yuan Wenshao was punished!

After his daughter gave birth, the old man felt deeply guilty. He picked up his daughter and wanted to go home, but Shen Congxing naturally stopped him with words.

"Father-in-law, I promise to treat Fen Niang well in the future~"

"Brother Shen!"

Yuan Wenshao grabbed Shen Congxing and shook his head slightly. Such a big thing happened. If you don't let people vent their emotions, you are taking the British public too seriously.

In his heart, he really didn't want to care about this trivial matter. The Shen brothers and sisters were not very kind, but now they are on the same team. Sometimes right or wrong doesn't matter anymore. This butt determines the head.

Here, Shen Congxing struggled with his eyes, but finally let go.

"Old Duke, go slowly. Don't let the lady get cold. Mr. Shen, please go over and see her off!"

As Yuan Wenshao spoke, he kept winking at Shen Congxing next to him. This guy is so unsightly. Don't you know how to give it away?

"Yes, yes, I'll go right away~"

"My little girl, don't bother Uncle Shen Guo anymore!"

"General...general, save me~" The disheveled little Zou is no longer as arrogant as before, begging for mercy with fistfuls of snot in his nose.

"Stop fighting, I really know I was wrong~"

"Master Yuan reminded me that the old servant has kept everything in mind!"

Instead, he called the steward of the Shen family and gave him instructions again.

The slaps again and again made little Zou instantly bruised and swollen. The eunuch in charge of the punishment was the eunuch in charge of the Queen Mother's palace. After many years in the palace, he was very skillful in slapping, and even deliberately left some nails on his face. It soon became apparent on his face. Blood.

Shen Congxing did not make any move, he was still kneeling there with red eyes, fighting between heaven and man in his heart.

"Clap~"

"Alas~" Yuan Wenshao sighed and took the people back to his home.

"Snapped!"

The team over there left in a hurry, Minglan also yawned and returned home. Although Yuan Wenshao was sleepy, he did not leave directly.

"Old Shen!"

"Whoo~"

Little Zou cried and begged for mercy, her voice gradually getting weaker and weaker, until there was no sound at all.

The old Duke said so, but now that he was holding his daughter Zhang Guifen in his arms, other servants naturally did not dare to stop Shen Congxing.

"Your Marquis has a deep affection for Mrs. Zou. You must take good care of him. Now that such a big thing has happened, the palace will definitely reprimand little Mrs. Zou. But can't he be allowed to make any mistakes?"

"Clap~"

As expected the next day, the Queen Mother showed sympathy for the old minister and personally sent someone to punish the little Zou family. She even slapped Shen Congxing in the face with great fanfare in order to provoke Shen Congxing into making a mistake.

This is all that can be done to obey fate. If Shen Congxing still refuses to listen, he deserves to suffer such a disaster and be plotted...

Shen Congxing was thinking about Yuan Wenshao's reminder yesterday, clenching his fists tightly with both hands, kneeling and panting as if he didn't hear it.

"Snapped!"

"Master Yuan, please give your orders!" The steward of the Shen Mansion said respectfully.

The eunuch in charge of the Queen Mother's Palace curled his lips in disdain when he saw little Zou fainting. He had been working in the palace for so many years and he had never seen such a person.

By the way, this acting is a bit fake. You have to close your eyes tightly when you are pretending to be dizzy. What's the matter with secretly looking at me?

However, he did not expose it, but simply added fuel to the fire and deliberately spoke in his unique duck voice.

"Hey, the person fainted. The Queen Mother ordered us to give him thirty strokes. Now we are still fifteen times away. Someone come and find some cold water and wake me up~"

"As ordered!"

Soon a little eunuch came over with a bucket of water and poured it on little Zou who was pretending to be faint.

"Ah!" Little Zou woke up miserably.

"Okay!" Shen Congxing couldn't bear it anymore. When he saw the eunuch raising his hand again, he got up and rushed over in excitement.

As for the chief steward of the Shen Mansion, he had always remembered Yuan Wenshao's reminder last night and had just been waiting beside his master. When he saw this, he was quick-witted and hugged him without saying a word.

He also shouted to the side: "Come here, Mr. Hou is not feeling well. Take Mr. Hou down to rest quickly~"

No matter how much effort Shen Congxing had, he couldn't stand up to four or five servants holding his waist and legs, so he was taken directly into the house.

"Alas~" The eunuch shook his head with regret when he saw this. The audience watching the show was gone, and the next few mouths were also hasty.

Then he returned to the palace and reported quickly.

"Madam, what should we do next?"

Empress Dowager Cao was arranging flowers there and didn't pay much attention to the matter after hearing it. Now that the matter has been settled, the British father-in-law has taken his daughter back, it doesn't matter whether Shen Congxing is angry or not.

While taking scissors to repair the flowers, he sighed with a smile.

"Little Lizi, I didn't expect that the Shen family, a countryman from Yuzhou, would actually have some sensible and loyal servants. You don't need to be beaten~"

"It doesn't matter whether the slave is beaten or not. It's a pity that General Shen didn't fall into the trap!"

Eunuch Li took the opportunity to show his loyalty.

……

Although Shen Congxing did not hit anyone, he also made amends after Yuan Wenshao reminded him, and personally sent the British family back home that day.

However, the Queen Mother and her family found an excuse. People from all walks of life impeached Shen Congxing for spoiling his concubine and killing his wife. Zhao Zongquan could not resist the pressure and could only temporarily remove his brother-in-law.

By the way, he was asked to quickly win back the British Duke. He could not reconcile under any circumstances, otherwise the morale of the army would be unstable.

In this way, the only person in Yuzhou who can speak in the court is Yuan Wenshao himself. Now he can hardly speak alone. Every time he makes any suggestions, he will be attacked by a group of people.

He was even openly targeted by Kumamoto Satoshi, the imperial censor, and a thick memorial was filed.

"Your Majesty, Uncle Yuan is really not suitable to be the commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division. I have listed several of his crimes in detail!"

"Selling officials, releasing prisoners, accepting bribes, bullying traders, and so on, there are countless other behaviors. Since taking office, he has openly collected protection fees and named this shameless behavior tribute fees. It is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!"

"My lord, I hope your majesty will let someone else take on this important responsibility!"

"I second the proposal!"

In an instant, Yuan Wenshao became a heinous person, and a third of the civil and military officials knelt down. This was because the noble officials did not express their opinions after learning about yesterday's incident.

Otherwise, even if Zhao Zongquan wanted to protect him, he could not withstand such great pressure. Yuan Wenshao was eventually fined three years' salary, and at the same time, the collection of "tribute fees" was completely stopped.

"Damn!" Yuan Wenshao couldn't help but cursed as soon as he returned to the carriage.

"This bastard Kumamoto, he's quite happy if I don't bother him, but he still has the nerve to care about me when his crotch is dirty!"

"Sixth Son, go to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division!"

"As you command~"

When Yuan Wenshao arrived at the Yamen, he summoned everyone for a meeting without saying anything.

"Tell me what we should do about this matter!"

When they learned that the extra money was gone, whether they were people from the Queen Mother's side or those who were attached to the new king Zhao Zongquan, both factions exploded, and everyone scolded Xiong Benli.

After all, the purpose of being an official is to make a fortune. Otherwise, what would you do if you were an official?

After a few good days, someone actually wanted to buy it and destroy it. It was all a sign of anger, and they wanted to take a knife and kill Kumamoto's whole family.

Then the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division collects protection fees no longer every day or two. This is an unspoken rule handed down from Taizu's time. If you don't let your soldiers have enough to eat, who will take the risk to work for you? ?
