Twin Brocade

Chapter 664 The plan to draw wages from the bottom of the pot
"I'm not in a hurry for a while, drink some tea first to moisten your throat." Mrs. Hong said slowly.

"Son, thank you for your mother's concern." Master Hong did not doubt that he was there, took the tea handed over by the maid, and drank it all in one gulp.

After drinking tea, he was about to report the results of the trial in detail, but his feet were weak, his whole body wobbled, and he almost fell to the ground.

"Help him!" Madam Hong ordered.

A daughter-in-law in charge stepped forward, held Master Hong's arm, and made him sit on the chair.

However, Master Hong was horrified to find that he didn't even have the strength to sit upright, and he had to lean on the chair to keep from sliding down.Feeling the rapid loss of strength in his whole body, he widened his eyes in disbelief.

"Mother? You...you poisoned me?"

"It's not poison." Mrs. Hong shook her head, and said, "Ruanjin powder is common in Jianghu. I know you are unwilling, so I prepared a copy."

She sighed: "I just didn't expect this day to come so soon."

"You don't believe me after all." Master Hong never expected that he had been careful all his life, but in the end he fell into the hands of his mother.

"It was because I believed in you that I had to do this." Mrs. Hong said, "I didn't expect that you would still secretly contact that person. It sounds like things are going well?"

Master Hong closed his eyes, not wanting to answer.

If he had known that his mother would do such a thing, he would not reveal a word, and he is still assisting King Ruyang in his affairs.

"Don't blame me for being cruel." Mrs. Hong said: "Brother Liang hoards food privately, the emperor will definitely take the opportunity to send it to you. Do you think that the empress dowager will listen to me if I go to the palace to intercede?"

"Mothers tend to help their sons. This is the seventh year of Qinglong, not back then."

Back then, when the first emperor was alive, the crown prince and King Ruyang were both the direct sons of Empress Xiao, but they were just one elder and one younger.For Empress Xiao, whichever son succeeds to the throne will not affect her status.

Because Master Hong and King Ruyang are close friends, Madam Hong and Queen Xiao are also very close.

But that is all the past, now things are different, and King Ruyang has been imprisoned.How could Empress Dowager Xiao embarrass her son who has already secured the throne for a failed son?

On this point, Mrs. Hong sees it very clearly.

It would not be of any use for her to enter the palace to intercede, it would only expose the Hong family's ambitions even more.

"You don't want to, just don't go." Master Hong said weakly: "Why do you treat your son like this? Why don't you help me as a mother?"

"I'm saving you." Mrs. Hong said in a deep voice, "I'm also saving our Hong family. If you continue like this, you will only destroy the Hong family!"

Seeing that he was not convinced, Mrs. Hong said: "Don't think you are very sure, you only think about your future wealth. That person failed back then, why do you think that this time you can?"

Master Hong held back his stomach and wanted to say something, but the dark plans of King Ruyang are still in the dark.

"You've lost your heart." Mrs. Hong said, "I'll go to the palace right away, beg for your bones, and return home."

She originally thought that her son was just thinking about old love and sympathizing with the imprisoned King Ruyang.Unexpectedly, he actually participated in the restoration of King Ruyang.

Moreover, it sounds like one of the very capable go-getters, with a very deep degree of participation.If this fails, it will be a serious crime of ransacking the family and exterminating the clan.

Just thinking about it made her shudder.

She can't let the whole family be dragged into the abyss, so she can only take this opportunity to cut the mess quickly.

"No!" Master Hong yelled with the last of his strength, "We will succeed, my son assures you!"

Mrs. Hong stood up, and when she passed him, she said calmly: "Impossible." It wasn't that she didn't trust her son, but that she didn't trust King Ruyang.

The Hong family has an inseparable relationship with King Ruyang. Under such circumstances, King Ruyang still wants the Hong family to do things. Does it really mean that Emperor Qinglong is a dead man?
Mrs. Hong can't see through the current Holy Majesty.

She only knew one thing, Emperor Qinglong was unfathomable, everyone who underestimated him was paying the price.

"Take care of him. From now on, he will claim to be sick in bed because of brother Liang." Mrs. Hong ordered: "Replace all the servants and servants who serve the master, and cut him off from the outside world." All connections."

The matter of contacting King Ruyang must be done by the young man next to Master Hong.

Mrs. Hong didn't have the time to investigate one by one, so she simply replaced them all.

As long as the Hong family retreated bravely and left the capital, a place of right and wrong, I believe that Emperor Qing Long would not delve too deeply into these clues.

And without the power in his hand, he lost the position of Si Nong Siqing.The Hong family is no longer important to King Ruyang.These connections, if she doesn't need to deliberately cut them off, they will naturally be broken.

This is a plan to draw salaries from the bottom of the pot.

Mrs. Hong was able to make such a decision in just a short moment, she could be called a heroine.

What happened to the Hong family, under the arrangement of Mrs. Hong, quickly spread in Luoyang City.

For the common people in Luoyang City, today's bustle is one crop after another.

First, Quan Moxian confiscated Hong Ziliang's private stockpile of food, and then Si Nong Siqing fell ill in bed because of his son's anger.Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Hong was sick and begged to see the current queen mother, pleading guilty for her descendants, saying that the Hong family could no longer serve the country.

But Si Nong Siqing didn't even have the strength to speak now, so she, the old mother, had to go out and ask the royal family for forgiveness, and beg for the bones of her son to return home.

Hong Ziliang is hateful, but Si Nong Siqing was so angry that he fell ill, obviously without knowing it.As a result, the people all over the city thought about the benefits of the Hong family, sympathized with them, and hoped that they would have a good death.

When it was time to close the city gate, news came from the palace: the emperor was wise and the empress dowager was kind, and Mrs. Hong's performance was approved.

When Fang Jinshu received the news, he was slightly surprised.

The Hong family was so able to judge the situation and retreat bravely, the advice she gave her father was useless.

However, this is just an idle game of icing on the cake.

Stopping Wei Yixin's conspiracy to use this batch of grain to cause trouble, allowing Quan Moxian to make a great contribution in front of the emperor, and Fang Shuyu's impeachment of Secretary Sinongsi to win more trust from Emperor Qinglong, these are things that kill three birds with one stone. .

Now it seems that because the Hong family took the initiative to resign their old age and return to their hometown, this last thing is impossible.

Fortunately, the most important goal has been achieved, and whether Quan Moxian can use this matter to make meritorious service depends on whether he can break through the obstacles in front of him.

Fang Jinshu didn't know what happened in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but she knew that people who had always harbored ill intentions towards Quan Moxian would definitely not sit back and watch him make another great contribution.

Man proposes, God disposes.

She had already done what she could, and the Hong family's response was beyond her control, and it was up to Quan Moxian himself.
