Episode 47
Sheng Minglan was not in a hurry to check the accounts. Instead, she called Wu Guang and the others to talk as they walked.Wu Guang was a relative of an internal official in the palace, so no one would care about anything that happened to Guyan Village.Halfway through the walk, he saw a tenant on the roadside arresting the man sent by Sheng Minglan to find out the news. Of course Wu Guang meant it, but he still fought with Sheng Minglan.Guyan Village owed a lot of foreign debts, and Wu Guang used these foreign debts to threaten Sheng Minglan. Now Wu Guang could not be touched no matter what.At night, Sheng Minglan flipped through a large box of IOUs sent by Wu Guang and became so angry that she called him a scoundrel and a bastard.
When Gu Tingye came back from the western suburbs camp, he saw Sheng Minglan's angry look and quickly comforted him.Sheng Minglan complained angrily that Wu Guangbu threatened her face to face to get rid of all the debts, and also sent these bad debts over, which was very despicable.Instead, Gu Tingye stared at Sheng Minglan and smiled. He had never seen her with such open teeth and claws, and said that he would go to meet Wu Guang tomorrow.Sheng Minglan felt a little guilty. They had agreed that one would be in charge of the outside and the other would be in charge of the inside. Now Sheng Minglan couldn't help him with outside matters, and she had to drag him into helping her with housework.Gu Tingye countered, these are not considered household matters. Even though Zhao Zongquan has ascended the throne, there are indeed very few places where he can speak. Even these imperial estates cannot interfere. How can a villain like Wu Guang do it in front of Sheng Minglan?It’s not unusual to show off one’s strength.
Sheng Minglan felt that it made sense, so she helped him take a bath. She was shocked when she saw blood on the clothes she changed. It turned out that it was not Gu Tingye's blood. Sheng Minglan felt relieved and was a little sad to hear about Gu Tingye's war, so she quickly covered him with blood.He put on his clothes and said that the house was not sealed and he was not allowed to wash them.Sheng Minglan knew that Gu Tingye had paid for this family property with his life, and she would definitely guard it.Instead, Gu Tingye told a story about a woman who poisoned her cheating husband with poison, saying that if he did something wrong to her in the future, Sheng Minglan would poison him with poison.Sheng Minglan was stunned. This story was so scary.
The next day, Gu Tingye came to Wu Guang and said that he wanted the tenants to come and receive the reward.Wu Guang naturally wanted to hold the money in his hands first and then distribute it well, but Gu Tingye had already asked Shitou to call him.Gu Tingye went straight to the point and asked the tenants if they had been mistreated. Everyone looked at each other and did not dare to speak.Finally, someone brave enough to speak came out. Not only did these managers exploit and plunder, they also raped women. The life of the tenants was miserable.Gu Tingye heard this and called the general judge, but Wu Guang was still talking about the loans, feeling that Gu Tingye would not publicize the matter and damage the royal family's face.Gu Tingye had always been stubborn, so he burned the IOUs and paid for the tens of thousands of taels of silver. Wu Guang would definitely not be able to stay in Guyan Village any longer.
On the way back home, Sheng Minglan was still angry that Wu Guang could not be punished and had to give them a large sum of money.She knew that everything had a seriousness, but she was still angry. After all, it was unfair that Wu Guang was still safe despite doing many bad things.Gu Tingye smiled instead, there was no guarantee that he would be safe.Soon after Wu Guang and others took the money, they were robbers and their legs were broken. It was probably Gu Tingye who did it.Sheng Minglan went home and talked with Mrs. Sheng, saying that Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu had been quarreling and causing trouble recently in order to propose marriage to Sheng Changfeng.
The Queen Mother could not help but admire Gu Tingye after learning these things, but this Gu Tingye would not be easy to deal with in the future.Hearing Concubine Liu Guifei making a fuss in the palace, the Queen Mother lamented that Zhao Zongquan did not know the importance of cutting expenses, and even the prince did not treat her favorably.Chengyuan.Sheng Minglan was dressing up, and when Gu Tingye saw him, he wanted to draw her eyebrows. Sheng Minglan quickly avoided it. Today was the first time since the beginning of spring that she went to the palace to express her gratitude.Sheng Minglan entered the palace with Xiao Shen, feeling a little uneasy. She had only entered the palace once, and that time was very scary.
