Fu Xiaoguan was really anxious because his three wives at home were about to give birth.
Xu Xinyan gave birth in April. At that time, he was busy with the oil business in Siyang County. He did not go back, but only sent a letter home, which made him feel extremely apologetic.
If he missed the births of his three wives again this time, he would probably feel guilty for the rest of his life.
No one knows who will own the kingdom in the future, but his wife will definitely be his.
He was not very interested in the country, but he could not let any of his ten wives be neglected.
Whether it's a son or a daughter, they will have their own lives in the future. Only a wife can accompany you throughout your life.
Fu Xiaoguan, who didn't have a girlfriend in his previous life, cherishes his ten wives very much.
Think about Chunxiu's nervousness when she was pregnant, Susu's childlike surprise when she had a child, and Zhang Peier even burst into tears when she found out she was pregnant - it's not easy for them. As their men, if I could be with them when they give birth, I think this would be the greatest comfort in their hearts.
He didn't know that the officials from the Ministry of Personnel who were investigating the administration of officials arrived just as he left Nanping County. He also didn't know that Zuo Zhongtan had arrested County Magistrate Pan and collected all of his crimes in three days.
County Magistrate Pan was escorted to Guanyun City, where he would be interrogated by the Ministry of Justice.
Naturally, those who were escorted away together were Magistrate Pan's family, and Pan Qian'er, the woman who was originally going to become the daughter-in-law of the prefect of Wuyuan Prefecture, would spend the rest of her life in the Jiaofangsi.
The Ministry of Personnel arrested County Magistrate Pan, and the news reached Wuyuan City as quickly as possible.
Wuyuan Prefecture Governor Chen Yang received three pieces of news at the same time:
First, the emperor returned home.
Second, County Magistrate Pan was arrested and was on his way to Guanyun City.
Third...his son Chen Zheng died in Nanping Temple.
After learning these three pieces of news, Chen Yang seemed to have aged ten years.
He stayed alone in the study for a long time. When he came out, there were no traces of tears on his face, and no expression of joy, anger, sorrow or happiness could be seen.
He issued an order to his confidant - to kill County Magistrate Pan and absolutely not let him reach Guanyun City alive!
As for my son, let him be buried in Nanping Temple.
Isn’t it said that the Nanping evening bell is extremely spiritual?
Perhaps by listening to the bell, he could be reborn as a human being sooner.
"Father..." His eldest son Chen Zheng bowed, "My condolences..."
"Son, take your wife and children with you and set off for the Yu Dynasty tomorrow."
This matter had been decided long ago, but Chen Zheng did not expect it to be so urgent.
"After I leave, I'm afraid it will take a long time to come back..." Chen Yang looked up at the setting sun in the sky and felt that he was just like that sunset. "Before I leave, you need to do something."
"Father, please speak!"
"I have a jar of fine wine in my study. Take that jar of wine and your wife, and go have a drink with your father-in-law tonight as a farewell."
"As you command, my child!"
Chen Yang narrowed his eyes and took out a small paper bag from his sleeve pocket. "Take this with you too. Remember, put it in your father-in-law's cup and don't let your wife know."
Chen Zheng was suddenly shocked. This was obviously poison. Why did his father do this?
"Don't ask me why. Only if more people die can I, your father, see the rising sun."
Chen Zheng took the small paper bag and lowered his head.
"Don't worry about it. The poison won't take effect until three days later. No one will know it was you who poisoned it. Go ahead."
"Father," Chen Zheng didn't go, but instead asked, "I heard that the Ministry of Personnel has already arrived in Nanping County, and the Censorate is probably already secretly investigating in Wuyuan Prefecture. How about... we go together?"
Chen Yang smiled faintly and shook his head. He looked up at Chen Zheng and said seriously, "Remember, you are a descendant of the thousand-year-old Seventh Clan Chen family of the Wu Dynasty! When you go to the Yu Dynasty, your uncles and brothers will welcome you and take care of you."
"I'll live a good life in the Yu Dynasty for now. Maybe I'll have a chance to come back soon."
"Dad can't leave. Dad still has a lot of things to do. Go, it's getting late. Go have a few drinks with your father-in-law."
Chen Zheng turned and left. Chen Yang looked at the setting sun again, frowning. What he was thinking about was the news from the Yu Dynasty - there had been no progress in lobbying the emperor of the Yu Dynasty to prepare to raise an army to attack the Wu Dynasty.
The young emperor of the Yu Dynasty seemed to have little interest in attacking the Wu Dynasty, or perhaps he did not have the courage. What should be done?
It would be a pipe dream to conquer the Wu Dynasty with just the 100,000 troops trained in the Yi Kingdom.
The only way is to bring Yu Chao along. Yu Chao now has a Tiance Army of 300,000!
Together with the 100,000 new troops of the Yi Kingdom, there will be an army of 400,000 to fight against the young emperor's army of 200,000... The armies are all trained in the same way, and a lot of flintlock rifles were bought from the Yu Dynasty. If everyone works together, it is not impossible to defeat the Wu Dynasty in one fell swoop while the young emperor is out to sea, because there are key people inside who can work together inside and outside, which is many times stronger than the coup launched by the Queen Mother Xi.
How can we make Yu Wendao firm in his determination?
Fu Xiaoguan must die!
For the sake of my son and for the Chen family.
Just when he was thinking and extremely confused, a piece of paper flew towards him, as sharp as a knife.
He suddenly turned around, stretched out a hand and held the paper, but he could not see the person who gave it to him.
His eyes fell on the piece of paper, on which there was only one line of words: The treasure of Confucius Temple is under the Star-Picking Terrace!
Chen Yang was shocked. The story of the treasures of the previous Yu Dynasty was known to the world. And a few years ago, Emperor Xuan ordered Fu Xiaoguan to blow up the Confucius Temple, and the treasure underneath disappeared, which also caused a lot of controversy.
That treasure is actually under the Wu Dynasty's Star-Picking Platform?!
How could it have come to Wu Dynasty quietly?
This thought only flashed through Chen Yang's mind. This was not the point. The point was the intention of the person who sent him this message - this intention was very obvious, and the best news happened to be delivered when he needed it most.
He believed that if he told Yu Wendao this news through his clansmen in Jinling, Yu Wendao would no longer be able to sit still.
The Yu Dynasty was short of silver, a lot of silver!
Yu Wendao was limited by the empty treasury and did not dare to start an army rashly, but if he knew that the mountain of gold that should have belonged to him was now in the hands of Fu Xiaoguan... could he still sit still?
No wonder the little emperor dared to print banknotes on a large scale. It turned out that he had a mountain of gold hidden.
This little emperor is quite powerful, so what other tricks does he have that he hasn't revealed yet?
This news was sent to the Yu Dynasty that night. Three days later, Chen Yang, the governor of Wuyuan Prefecture, investigated and prosecuted the governor of the river, Ge Su, for corruption. Ge Su committed suicide out of fear of punishment.
On the same day, County Magistrate Pan, who was being escorted to Guanyun City, was assassinated.
Two days later, this piece of paper was placed in front of Yu Wendao.
