Chapter 197 A man disguised as a woman
Xiao Cong can be excluded directly. He is too kind-hearted and obviously not a bad person.
[Oh no! I can't even tell which ones are from the Hanlin Academy.]
[This is a bit embarrassing.]
There had been banquets in the palace before, but the ministers that Gu Jianchu was familiar with were only the common ones. If she looked at the various yamen, she had never seen them before.
How can I enjoy the melon if the names don’t match?
Just as she was getting anxious, Xie Ci'an said lazily, "Where are the people from the Hanlin Academy? Since the incident happened in your Hanlin Academy, I'm afraid you need to investigate yourself."
Several ministers of the Hanlin Academy named by Cheng Song stood up trembling, ready to be beaten with a stick like Xiao Cong.
But after they stood up, Xie Ci'an remained silent.
The deathly silence made them even more panicked, but they did not dare to speak. They only felt a chill on their backs and their hearts began to tremble. It would be better to just directly pronounce their crimes.
I didn't expect the Academy to have so many big melons. I definitely fell into a melon field today.
The corners of Xie Ci'an's mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times.
The queen fell into the melon field, and all the ministers under his control were about to collapse.
[Mr. Wu, with his mustache, may look shabby, but he actually likes homosexuality.]
Xie Ci'an loosened his grip on the teacup.
What's the meaning.
Could it be that he is also a man like Minister Xiao Conglin, with whom he has a mutual understanding and admiration?
That's not right.
He remembered that this Lord Wu seemed to have a wife and children in the countryside, and that his wife and children had lived in the capital for a period of time. The Imperial City Bureau had investigated every detail, so it was impossible for him to be wrong.
This Lord Wu is completely different from that little crybaby Xiao Cong. This kind of person is the most disgusting. He secretly enjoys homosexuality, but in reality, he married and had children. He tricked a woman into giving birth to him, and even tricked her into serving his parents in the countryside. What's the difference between him and a free babysitter? If he's purely into homosexuality, he could easily find someone like-minded. There's no need to harm women. The key is that he's still the one down there. Dirty and disgusting.
[In fact, he had not originally intended to bring his wife and children to live in the capital for a period of time. It was because some ministers in the court had some suspicions. He was afraid that his obscene thoughts would be discovered, so he publicly brought his wife and children from the countryside to live with him for a while. Later, when the rumors died down, he found a random excuse and sent his wife and children back to the countryside, where he lived a shameless life with the maids in the mansion.]
[Master Wu's activities are truly perverted. The maids in the mansion are all dressed as women. This is the only way to conceal their identities. But he really enjoys this.]
[The maids in the mansion were originally prostitutes from brothels, and he had redeemed them. They had plenty of work, and Lord Wu loved being with them. Unfortunately, his wife hadn't noticed anything during the two months she'd lived there.]
His wife was truly unlucky to be with him. Although he hadn't committed any serious offenses, he was morally corrupt. It's only right for such a person to be thrown into a pig cage.
Xie Ci’an:…
It turned out that he was a man disguised as a woman, no wonder the Imperial City Bureau didn't notice it at all.
[This Lord Tang next to him isn't a good person either.]
Could it be that the entire Academy will also collapse?
[There's a very shrewd mother-in-law who manages the household. Ever since his wife married him, she's imposed dozens of rules on her, including what time she must get up in the morning to cook and what time she must be there to help her wash. Is she really that clueless? She insists on having her daughter-in-law help her wash.]
[There are a few more things you need to do. You're not marrying a wife, you're marrying an obedient, resentful child.]
If the wife failed to do anything, she would be tortured by her mother-in-law into following the rules. On one occasion, she even lost her two-month-old child. Later, the mother-in-law directly attributed all the faults to the wife, even calling her a hen that couldn't give birth. The wife didn't dare to complain too much. Less than half a year later, she began to persuade Master Tang to take a concubine.
[With a mother-in-law like this, this kind of family will eventually break up.]
[My mother-in-law isn't a good person, and Lord Tang is a man who doesn't do anything. This kind of man, even if he hasn't done anything, can still cause the most damage. If he had been more considerate to his wife and not let his mother-in-law do such evil things, the child wouldn't have been miscarried.]
[A typical mama's boy, it's no wonder he deserves to be thrown into a pig cage.]
Tang's wife, punished by her mother-in-law to stand outside, caught a cold and fell ill. Fearing she wouldn't be able to serve her mother-in-law the next day, she wanted Tang to go and tell her. However, Tang went, but didn't dare to say a word to his mother-in-law and returned home dejected. As a result, the next day, his wife didn't help her mother-in-law get out of bed, and was instead punished by her mother-in-law to kneel in the ancestral hall.
This Lord Tang is only a sixth-rank official, while his wife's father is a fifth-rank official. They're somewhat of a match, but it can also be considered marrying down. You really shouldn't marry down. Although he's not a Phoenix man, a man like this who doesn't do anything is deadly.
[My idea of getting people to divorce has popped up again.]
[After all, living with such an inaction man for the rest of his life would likely mean a lifetime of suffering. Only when his mother passes away can this man escape from her control.]
Gu Jianchu just shook his head helplessly, without any intention of interfering in their fate.
After all, they haven't done anything harmful to the world, and in this situation, the melon owner needs to wake up himself.
[The Mr. Bai next to him has a hobby: hiding his private money.]
Mr. Bai's wife is a henpecked husband, and he is extremely afraid of her. All of Mr. Bai's money is controlled by his wife, and she knows exactly how much he earns every month. He must hand over all his earnings to his wife.
[I once secretly bought a bowl of sweet soup and ate it, and my wife scolded me for a long time.]
"That's not right. Master Bai's money is all controlled by his wife. Where does he get his private money from?"
[It turns out that they were making a profit from the price difference of the paper sold by the Hanlin Academy.]
Lord Bai had previously taken over the purchasing work from Xiao Cong, then replaced all of the academy's previous suppliers. He accepted bribes from the boss and replaced the paper and ink with cheaper, inferior products, but quoted the same price as the previous high-quality paper, profiting from the difference and the bribe money.
However, Lord Bai was a smart man. Fearing discovery, he simply replaced the paper used by his subordinates. For example, the paper sent by Emperor Xiao and other important ministers was always of the highest quality. Those above wouldn't notice, and even if those below did, he could use his position to suppress it.
