My whole family traveled across time with an encyclopedia

Chapter 417
"Dong dong dong, ma'am?"

It was rare for Ma Honglin to listen to him so patiently. Zhou Yulan talked to him for a while without knowing it. When he was getting excited, there was another knock on the door.

"what's up?"

The steward of Ma Mansion came in and said respectfully: "Return to the general, madam, your majesty has sent someone to deliver something."

Ma Honglin was about to sit up when he was immediately pressed down by Zhou Yulan, "Look at what's happened to you. Don't go. I'll just go. His Majesty knows he won't blame you."

A big man was actually held down by his wife with one hand. Ma Honglin also knew how weak his body was now, so he lay back quietly without any further struggle.

Zhou Yulan was led by the housekeeper to the front hall. The young eunuch put down the thousand-year-old ginseng that Chang Yuan had given to his family and led them away.

Originally, he wanted to give it to Ma Mansion as a life-saving medicine, but he didn't expect to receive good news from Ma Mansion soon. Ma Honglin had woken up, and Chang Yuan didn't think of taking it back, and directly used it as a congratulatory gift.

In addition to ginseng, there are also some other precious medicinal materials, all of which are tonic.

……

After learning that Ma Honglin was innocent, Ning Changrong went to see him once.

Then he concentrated on the Changxian incident.

The people sent back one after another sent back the news, and now they have found out that the person behind them is Bai Yunliang.

The gentry who colluded with Chen Da, the magistrate of Chang County, was Bai Yunliang's relative.

The local prefect also knew about their relationship with Bai Yunliang, and was also dragged into the water.

Ning Changrong wrote all the information he had compiled into a memorial, then arranged his clothes and went into the palace to meet the saint.

After reading Ning Changrong's memorial, Chang Yuan spoke with a solemn tone,
"Is this what you checked during this period? Is the result true?"

Ning Changrong said: "I have verified it many times before I dare to present it to His Majesty."

The hall had been quiet, and there was a feeling that a storm was about to come. Even Eunuch Li did not dare to raise his head.

Without raising his head, he knew that His Majesty must be extremely angry.

"Send the message to Mr. Bai to come see me." After a long while, Chang Yuan's words rang in Eunuch Li's head.

"Yes." Eunuch Li walked quickly to the outside of the hall and gave instructions.

The morning had passed, Bai Yunliang was handling government affairs in the side hall, and came to the study with confusion.

Glancing at Ning Changrong standing next to him, he bent down and saluted Chang Yuan.

Chang Yuan had a sullen face and smashed the memorial directly at Bai Yunliang's head, "Take a good look at what good things you have done!"

Bai Yunliang was frightened and knelt down quickly, ignoring the pain on his forehead. He opened the memorial and looked at it carefully. As he looked at it, the cold sweat on his forehead continued to flow down, and the hair on his back stood up.

"Your Majesty! I am wronged! I am wronged!"

Chang Yuan laughed angrily, "You still dare to cry out for injustice now? There are witnesses and material evidence. Do you want me to bring them in to confront you one by one?"

Bai Yunliang tried his best to control his hands from shaking, and begged: "Your Majesty, I am really unjust, I have no knowledge of this matter! This is all made by my relatives, and I have no knowledge of this, Your Majesty!"

Seeing the other party burst into tears, a trace of disgust flashed in Chang Yuan's eyes.

Based on his understanding of Bai Yunliang, he knew that Bai Yunliang should not be the mastermind of this matter, but it was also impossible for him to not know at all, which meant that he was deliberately protecting his relatives.

Chang Yuan was right. Bai Yunliang did know something about what his relatives were doing in Chang County. The other party often sent things over, euphemistically calling them visiting relatives.Bai Yunliang turned a blind eye to what they did, but he never expected that these people were so bold and dared to touch the land.

Chang Yuan relied on land to win people's hearts. It can be said that land is the foundation of Da'an.

Now that these people are reaching out to the ground, Bai Yunliang knows that even he will be killed.

He scolded these people in his heart, but he had to face the furious Chang Yuan.

"Your Majesty, I have indeed collected their things. They are just for simple exchanges between relatives after I moved them to Chang County."

"I dare to swear to God that I really have no idea about what they are doing."

Seeing that the other party was so sure of Chang Yuan, he was also a little confused.

Could it be that the other party really didn’t know anything?
He looked at Bai Yunliang steadily, and after a while, he suddenly smiled.

That's right, he, a person who doesn't believe in fate or heaven, would actually be shaken just because the other party swore an oath?It’s ridiculous to think about it.

The other party had contacts with Bai Yunliang. No matter how much Bai Yunliang knew, he definitely knew some of those things, but he allowed the other party to use the tiger's skin as a banner to show off his power in Chang County, and lived more like an emperor than he did.

"Master Bai, do you think I am a fool?" Chang Yuan looked at Bai Yunliang with a smile.

Bai Yunliang's whole body felt like chaff, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! I really did not deceive Your Majesty!"

"I think you just treat me like a fool!" Chang Yuan suddenly shouted.

He picked up the teacup beside the table and threw it towards Bai Yunliang who was kneeling on the ground, hitting his forehead directly. Bai Yunliang's forehead was covered with tea, and blood slowly flowed down.

Feeling the killing intent in the other person's tone, Bai Yunliang was really scared.

He rolled forward a few steps and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me! Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Until now, he could only grit his teeth and refuse to admit it.

If he admits it, he will only be killed.

Bai Yunliang was also aggrieved because he really didn't know that those bastards had invaded the land.

"Bring Cao Beihai up here and let our Lord Bai hear what good things his relatives have done in Chang County." Chang Yuan said coldly.

Eunuch Li immediately went down and brought the person up.

Cao Beihai was escorted all the way to Jingzhou for strict protection. At this time, he finally entered the palace to face the saint and was able to express his grievances.

As soon as he saw Chang Yuan, he immediately knelt down and cried out his grievances, "Your Majesty, please save our Wuli Village! Save Chang County!"

Chang Yuan came down with a kind face and helped the other person up, "I heard that you are the village chief trained by the second batch of cadre schools. You are a good person. I am here to listen to you today. If you have any grievances, just tell them. , I make the decision for you."

The other party shed tears of gratitude and talked about Chang County, what happened in Wuli Village, and how officials and gentry colluded to dominate.

Bai Yunliang next to him broke into cold sweat, and his whole back felt like it was wet.

He knew that he was finished, and even if His Majesty did not kill him, he would never let him touch power again.

Even if his group of relatives did not touch the land, levied corvees privately, and increased taxes without authorization to get money into their own pockets, even if ten of their heads were not enough to chop off each of these things, although he was not fully aware of this, but He did take money from those people.

He knew from the beginning that those people could not have that much money and that the money came from shady sources. He always thought that they were just using their power to do some business.
