Chapter 783 785. It’s time to move
"So what else do you want?" Liang Shi scolded, "You are stupid and you can't manage the people under you.
If you can control them, will others plot against you?"
He had been planning to let the matter go lightly, but now Liang He had come running up to him again, reminding him of the results of his investigations over the past few days. He couldn't help but grit his teeth and speak.
"If you hadn't been targeting Madam Gu openly or covertly, people wouldn't have targeted you so quickly.
Do you know that you almost caused me a big disaster this time?
You know, if we succeed in instigating these people, and Gu Wenheng believes that we are plotting against them, and the two sides start fighting, how can Yi Province have peace?
After all these years, I finally had some hope and a good situation, but it almost fell apart.
Now you're thinking of me coming to your house to get back at you. Why don't you reflect on yourself first?
I have entrusted the backyard to you over the years, trusting you and expecting you to do everything well, but I didn't expect you to help me in this way."
Liang Heshi, "...I..."
Liang Shi didn't give her a chance to refute, "I have already written back, and the eldest daughter-in-law will come to assist you in a few days.
If you can no longer manage it, I will have no choice but to send you back home."
Liang Heshi, "Master, you have such a cruel heart... I never thought that after all these years of managing your backyard, I would get such a reward.
Whose mistress is still in charge? Let the daughter-in-law be the head of the household. If this gets out, how can I go around the backyard of Yongchang County?
Although I am the step-wife, it is unfair for the master to be so biased. "
"You come again, you use this excuse every time to stop me," Liang Shi snorted coldly, "Whatever you say, I have made up my mind. You can choose to stay here or I can arrange a carriage to take you back."
Seeing Liang Shi swung his sleeves and left, Liang He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Gu Jin, it's because of you again..."
Jin Qianqian felt her arms suddenly go cold, and she rubbed them, "Strange, I wonder who is plotting against me again."
Gu Wenheng pinched her hand to test the temperature, "Did you wear too few clothes today? How about I ask someone to bring a cloak?"
Jin Qianqian shook her head, "Don't bother, I'm wearing thicker clothes than you.
Let's talk about how to deal with those two people first, shall we?"
Gu Wenheng, "These two people are easy to deal with. I will have them sent to Shangjing and handed over to Bai Jinglie.
Since he has already sent people to cause trouble, there is no need for us to pretend we don’t know. We might as well just tear off this layer of paper.”
Jin Qianqian also thought this was a good idea, "But we can't just let this matter go. Don't forget, your share of the glass workshop is still in his hands.
In recent years, he has also used the excuse that the glass market is becoming increasingly prosperous, and the silver he has sent has become less and less. I think we should send a few more accountants to check the accounts."
"I won't act alone on this matter," Gu Wenheng tapped the table, "It's not just my share here, His Majesty's share is the lion's share."
If we make a big fuss, I don't believe that the superiors won't become suspicious.
The couple smiled at each other and thought this was a good idea.
"The most difficult thing for me now is the Wu family," Gu Wenheng has not yet figured out how to deal with Wu Hao.
"The Wu family..." Jin Qianqian pursed her lips and said, "I went to a banquet a few days ago, and the second wife of his family was planning to marry her niece to Le Ping. I didn't expect that they would turn around and plot against us like this."
Gu Wenheng, "I thought Governor Liang would use this as an opportunity to cause trouble, but I didn't expect him to save trouble and told his men to send the Wu family boss over as well."
The other party was even afraid that he would refuse, so they handed a few prisoners to him and hurried back to report.
Gu Wenheng immediately understood Liangshi's intention and didn't want to get involved in the matter at all.
We had discussed it before, but I didn't expect it to change suddenly.
Gu Wenheng couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. After being an official for so long, is it the most important thing to protect oneself?
Jin Qianqian, "Now that you've caught me, don't just let it go.
In the past year, we have also seen the work of these families.
Although they seem to be getting along well with the government, in fact, due to their promotion, the government cannot do anything to them in many matters.
Even during several banquets, the ladies in charge did not show much respect for the officials.
Sometimes, she even secretly thinks highly of herself and looks down on the wives of officials of lower ranks. "
Gu Wenheng, "This is their cleverness. Several major families move in and out together, which actually opens up a very large network.
This time, Wu Hao dared to follow Bai Jinglie's men to attack us, which was also the confidence accumulated over the years.
It's a pity that he miscalculated this time. I don't intend to let him off lightly. Even if Governor Liang withdraws, I will take this opportunity to inform the major families that as long as they are citizens of Rong Dynasty, they must abide by the law. "
Since her husband wanted to do something big, Jin Qianqian naturally wanted to support him. "I was thinking of slowing down, but it seems like it's time to start opening shops in various places in Yi Province."
"There's no need to start a war this time," Gu Wenheng pointed to the sky, "We are already too conspicuous. It's not a good thing to have too much money in our hands."
Jin Qianqian gave him a sly smile, "Am I so unreliable? Just wait and see, there will be news starting tomorrow."
Seeing her being so naughty, Gu Wenheng reached out and tapped her nose, "You're still keeping it a secret at this point? I'll have to look forward to it."
Jin Qianqian winked at him, "Stay tuned!"
The two smiled at each other and talked about the ones who were imprisoned in prison.
Gu Wenheng was not in a hurry to interrogate them, but he replaced all the people who were detaining them with his own confidants, so that now not even a mosquito could fly in.
Jin Qianqian pointed at him and said, "You are much more cunning than me. If you are locked up for a few more days, some people will probably be anxious and jump up and down."
&
Needless to say, he was locked up for a few days. When the Wu family learned that General Liang had handed the person over to Gu Wenheng, they immediately became restless.
They called several major families overnight to discuss a good strategy.
"Master Meng, you are the boss of our families, please make a decision quickly."
As the head of the Wu family, Wu Nanping had to speak first, because it was a branch of the Wu family that caused trouble this time.
Meng Haotian looked around at the people present. No one spoke at the moment. They were just waiting for him quietly. Although he was satisfied that each family took him as the leader, it did not mean that he liked to clean up the mess.
“This is a difficult matter. Long ago, our ancestors had already agreed that we must not make the government our enemy until we have some outstanding people.
Our companies have done a good job over the years and have not taken the initiative to provoke them.
Your Wu family is very brave this time. Everyone knows that the most difficult person to offend in the entire Yi Province is this Lord Gu.
It seems that not long ago, a boy in your family provoked Madam Gu, but fortunately it did not cause a big conflict and the matter was left unresolved.
It's only been a short time, and he's still causing trouble. This is really inappropriate."
