Chapter 174

Mrs. Du couldn't believe that her husband who had been loving for decades actually let her lead her to practice?

"What did you say? Say it again, I didn't catch it."

Ten thousand ten thousand do not believe, this is not what the man she loves said.

Du Shuai's complex expression cannot be described in words, "You and I are in love with each other. For the sake of the children, I can't give up on you, but it will also make you worry-free for the rest of your life. This is the best ending for you and me."

The young master of the Du family cannot have an abandoned mother.

However, the truth of the He family collaborating with the enemy has been made public. Mrs. Du, whose surname is He, is the daughter of the He family.

Whether she knew it or not, she was destined to be implicated.

Mrs. Du's head was blank, her heart ached and she wanted to die, "Husband, you don't want me anymore?"

Du Shuai looked at his tearful wife, feeling reluctant and sad, but also relieved.

"For the reputation of the Du family, for the future of the three children, and for the stability of the Xiliang area, the He family can no longer stay by my side."

"The He family did not commit a small mistake, but treason, and the court and the public cannot tolerate it." Du Shuai had already written a letter to the emperor and reported it, but no one knew what the king was thinking.

He was betting on the future of the Du family.

He accidentally married a wife, which ruined the Du family's reputation for a hundred years. He was willing to suffer all punishments, but he couldn't let Du Shaoxuan be affected in the slightest.

Mrs. Du was born and grew up at the border, so she naturally knew the seriousness of treason.

However, knowing is one thing, feeling is another, there is no way to kill relatives righteously.

"But, it's obvious that you can hide it. No, it's all Mu Wanqing. She hurt our Du family for her own sake." Mrs. Du needs to find someone to vent her resentment, and Mu Wanqing, who is in charge of this matter, is naturally the first to bear the brunt.

"Husband, you are bringing the wolf into the room, quickly get rid of her, and then put all the responsibility on her head, we can still live as before, I promise you, I will no longer care about the life and death of the mother's family, the male is all... It doesn't matter if you die."

Don't look at Mu Wanqing's generosity, saying that if she survives from the forward camp, she doesn't need to die, she only needs to be exiled for three thousand miles.

In fact, 12 out of 10 of the Qianfeng Battalion survived, that is to say, one out of ten survived.

Only a few of the He family's dozens of people can survive, and, well, they must be on the front line and fight the enemy to survive.

It can be considered a crime and meritorious service, which is allowed by the court.

Therefore, the people did not make a fuss.

It has to be said that Du Shaoxuan's decisive handling was very clever, which greatly calmed the anger of the people.

Mu Wanqing did things on this basis, so as not to arouse the disgust of the people.

Du Shuai saw it in his eyes and understood it clearly. He couldn't help but have mixed feelings. Some people are born to be excellent strategists.

"Do you know why I picked Mu Wanqing? Because she won't bend the law for her own sake, so she doesn't need to look at the Du family's face."

She does not belong to any force, has nothing to do with Xiliang, and has nothing to do with the capital.

Her stance is neutral and she acts objectively.

"The most important thing is that the emperor trusts her."

Mrs. Du hated her deeply, "What kind of onion is she a woman? How can the emperor remember her in all his life? You think too highly of her."

Du Shuai closed his eyes and sighed silently. He was really stupid and had no political consciousness.

I used to think silly and cute, but now...

"The main mansion of Qingping County is not located in other places, but it is located in Liangcheng. The deep meaning of it is obvious. These are the eyes of the emperor."

There is a limit to how much a king can trust in a person, and it is already a rare good emperor to be able to put this step on the bright side.

Some things don't need to be explained, everyone knows it well, he understands, and so does Mu Wanqing.

However, Mrs. Du didn't understand. She couldn't understand this, and she was at a loss, "This...how is this possible?"

"Not everyone has the right to be heard directly, you can't, neither can our two daughters." Du Shuai sighed softly, "But Mu Wanqing can, she can submit a memorial and write to the emperor. Private letter, this is the right owned by the honor of the county head, you can't see this, and many people can't see it."

Everyone thought that the position of Qingping county head was just a decoration, and the picture had a false name.

Yes, Mu Wanqing had no real power, but she was able to send many powerful people to prison.

She only needs to write a letter to the emperor, and the emperor will ask Wuyiwei to verify.

The saints are her greatest advantage, and she has not lived up to the king's high hopes.

Du Shuai didn't just pick a random person out, but he kept the king's suspicions down to a minimum.

As soon as Mu Wanqing took office, she acted vigorously and openly attacked the He family.

This is an attitude of neutrality and loyalty to the king.

This is not the attitude of the Du family, and it is also showing loyalty.

There are too many twists and turns, most people don't understand.

He rarely said two more words, "Actually, Mu Wanqing is also saving the Du family. There is no airtight wall under the sky. She took the lead to lift the cover and handled it neatly, so the emperor would not be too angry."

Sometimes, what the emperor wants is an attitude.

You have dealt with it yourself, and shown your loyalty, the emperor will not chase after you.

The world is not black and white, and there are no perfect saints.

"The most powerful thing about her is that she skillfully separated the He family from the Du family, and kept the Du family's century-old reputation as well as the Du family's position in the hearts of the people of Xiliang."

He couldn't do this, but Mu Wanqing did it, and she understated it, as if it didn't take much trouble.

He didn't understand, but was shocked.

Although he knew that Mu Wanqing did this for Du Shaoxuan, he was still deeply grateful.

The reputation of the Du family for a hundred years was not destroyed in his hands, and he did not become a sinner of the family.

In Mu Wanqing's view, the Du family has been stationed at the border for hundreds of years, fighting the enemy bravely, and sheltering the people, which is already a belief of the people of Xiliang.

Once faith is broken, the consequences are unimaginable.

Then take out the Du family and focus on the He family. Mrs. Du is the link between the Du He family, so let's cut it off.

In fact, it was not just her own credit, but the Du family's century-old achievements in exchange for this opportunity. If she tried it in another family, she had been scolded by the people for a long time.

There is only one chance, if there is another time, the Du family will be completely over.

Of course, Mu Wanqing was also selfish.

The era of Du Shuai has passed, and now is the era of Du Shaoxuan.

Then let her help him clear all obstacles.

He only needs to charge in front and lead the soldiers to defend the home and the country.

When Mu Wanqing learned that Mrs. Du was sent to take her to practice, the He family vanished into thin air, and the matter came to an end.

Sun Tongzhi handed several documents to Mu Wanqing, "County Lord, look, these are all the money raised by wealthy businessmen. These are the houses and fields that were recovered. How do you think they should be disposed of?"

Mu Wanqing casually flipped through it and ordered, "The land is re-leased to the common people, and only 30% of the rent is charged. Everything in the house is confiscated. After sorting it out, sell it for money. As for the house, build a workshop and school."

Sun Tongzhi couldn't help but said, "Didn't you say that you will return it later?"

Mu Wanqing played with the teacup and smiled slightly, "Is there a conflict between the two?"

Sun Tongzhi thought for a while. Later, the owner returned half of the money to redeem it, which was enough for them to build a new concrete building.

Well, this wave is not bad, it can be done.

Ah, it feels so good to play hooligan with the county chief.

No, it's an open and aboveboard helping people take care of the industry, and it's a pleasure to help others!

Mu Wanqing frowned slightly, this amount of money is not enough to spend, "All the money is used to buy food and grass, I don't care how far you run, the more the better, the more the better."

She also bought a lot of food with the money she had, and made careful arrangements.

Sun Tong reminded weakly, "The battle is almost over, right?"

The young marshal's talent for fighting was even higher than that of Du Shuai, and the enemies he fought were losing ground.

The young man is a born handsome man! God bless the Du family, God bless Xiliang!

Mu Wanqing glanced around. There were only two people in the office. She lowered her voice and said, "There will be a civil war soon. Be quick and don't make any noise."

Sun Tongzhi was shocked and wanted to say that you were joking, but looking at Mu Wanqing's serious expression, he shuddered.

Could it be that she got any inside information?

"Yes, yes, I'll go right away."

Mu Wanqing made a point, "It's not enough, just pay a part of the deposit first, and then find a way to pay the balance after you buy it."

Just as he was talking, there was movement at the gate of the courtyard, "The county owner, Jiang Tongzhi and Mr. Qian are here."

Mu Wanqing brought her own team to work, six guards and four maids. The former was responsible for security, while the latter followed her to do chores and was responsible for all trivial matters.

She also took Mu Zicheng's brothers with her. How could she miss such a good internship opportunity?

The route she arranged for the two of them, the elder brother took the imperial examinations step by step, and took the official career seriously.

Therefore, when was busy in renovating the food street, had to open a small stove every night, and have one-on-one classes with famous teachers, and Patriarch Fang gave him lessons in person.

The second brother took the military commander route and arranged for a martial artist to teach him martial arts, practice diligently every day, and also work part-time.

As for her, she is temporarily acting as the chief executive of the Xiliang area, and she is also in charge of the family's business affairs, busy round and round.

Everyone is working hard.

There is such a good opportunity right now, so naturally took it with me.

Mr. Qian's face was not good-looking, "County Lord, a group of refugees have come, and it is only thirty miles away from Liangcheng. How do you think about it? Let people not enter the city?"

refugee? Mu Wanqing pondered for a while, "How many people?"

There have been more than one incidents of refugee incidents in our country's history, each of which has caused great harm and chaos.

"One or two thousand." Mr. Qian frowned. The refugee issue was the most troublesome for the local area.

If it is not handled well, the refugees turn into mobs in minutes.

Wherever the mob goes, nothing grows.

Sun Tongzhi was stunned. He just said that there would be a civil war, and there would be refugees? Not so fast.

"Where did these refugees come from?"

Mr. Qian wiped the sweat from his forehead, "It came from Liangzhou, and there was a locust plague there."

Sun Tongzhi gasped, it was actually a plague of locusts.

"County Lord, Liangcheng can't accept so many refugees, and since there are too many refugees, public security is a big problem. I suggest not to let them enter the city, let them go to the next town."

Mr. Qian has a different opinion. "But people come from thousands of miles away. If you don't give them any hope, will there be chaos here? The number of 10,000 or 20,000 refugees is not small, and if there is trouble, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Sun Tongzhi disagreed, "It's definitely not possible to put it in. It's too dangerous. The soldiers of the Xishan Barracks are all on the battlefield, and there are only 5,000 people in charge of the city defense, and the bullets can't hold it."

Everyone has their own opinions and cannot reach a consensus.

Finally, they all looked at Mu Wanqing.

Mu Wanqing's expression was calm, "First, find someone to infiltrate the refugee team to find out what's going on, check the situation, and see if anyone inside took the opportunity to organize trouble?"
