Pei Guang dismantled the bamboo tube, quickly scanned the note hidden in it, his face changed, and said, "Jingzhao's news, the Tao is ...... Queen Qian is out of the cold palace. ”

Not long after Empress Dowager Liping was relegated to the cold palace, Empress Qian was demoted to the cold palace. When Queen Qian first entered the cold palace, many people made a lot of efforts to ensure her out, but it was ineffective.

It's been three years, and Pei Ding, like many people think, Queen Qian will always stay in the cold palace.

But the news from Jingzhao was: Queen Qian is out of the cold palace!

If Queen Qian was out of the cold palace, why did her father's face become so ugly? Could it be ......

Thinking of this, Pei Ding's heart tightened, and he immediately asked: "Since Queen Qian is out of the cold palace, what happened to the Qian family?"

Pei Guang crumpled the note vigorously, and said: "Qian Guanshang is sparse with the bones of a sick old beggar, and the emperor has already allowed it." All the children of the Qian family are on the resignation form......"

Pei Dingfeng's eyes widened angrily, and he shouted in disbelief: "Father, what the Qian family is doing...... Is it to exchange the future of a family for money, and the queen is out of the cold palace? How is this possible? Or is something happening?"

Pei Guang shook his head, his eyes were also puzzled, and he replied in a deep voice: "It's not clear yet, there must be an inside story about this matter." However, Qian Guan is too fine, if it weren't for him, he wanted to leave the household. Even the emperor can't easily move him. Now the situation of the household department is still unclear, so we still have to wait. ”

It was because Qian Guan was too fine, so when they knew that he had left the household, Pei Ding's father and son felt incredible.

Qian Guan has been in the position of the head of the household department for ten years, and although his qualifications are long enough to be promoted to the second rank, he has never moved his position. I heard that when the Empress Dowager Li Ping tried her best to make Qian Guan the secretary of the household department, she once said with a smile: "If the money jar is in the household department, the mourning family will be relieved." ”

Since the beginning, Qian Guan has been called a money jar by a group of officials, and in the past ten years, no one can ignore Qian Guan's political achievements in the household department.

Three years ago, when Queen Qian entered the cold palace, Qian Guan sat in the position of the head of the household department and remained still; now Queen Qian is out of the cold palace, but Qian Guan is leaving the household department, and even the Qian family has withdrawn from the court, why is this?

Even if they were in Jingzhao, they might not be able to know Qian Guan's thoughts, let alone that they were in Hedong.

Pei Guang stretched out his palm, caught the little bird flying towards him, his eyes were soft and warm, and he said half-loudly: "The sky is going to change......

Pei Ding replied: "Father, after Gantang Yaji, I'll go to Jingzhao." ”

......

......

At this moment, in the Chaoyang Courtyard of the Yongning Hou Mansion, Xie Shi closed the lid of the cup heavily, and then said coldly: "You say it again, what do you mean by not knowing?"

Kneeling in front of her was the coachman who sent Zheng Heng to Yudong School Palace. He hung his head so that he could not see what his face was, but his body trembled like chaff.

"Back to the second lady's words...... Minion...... Minion...... was negligent, just careless, the servant girl was already gone, and the slave didn't know it...... When did it disappear. The coachman cringed.

The second lady is a good person, but she will not show any mercy to those who are incompetent. The coachman knew that he had messed things up, and thinking of the punishment that the second lady had given to his subordinates before, he didn't dare to say that he had disappeared before he arrived at the Yudong School Palace, and only said that when he was waiting for the eldest girl to come out, the maid did not appear.

Hearing these words, the anger on Xie's face was even worse. It wasn't the servant girl she cared about, but the coachman who was so negligent that he didn't even know when he didn't see anyone.

Now I'm still in charge of the house, these subordinates are so perfunctory, if the Zhang family is in charge again, then what will happen to these people?-Xie Shi thought like this, and his face became more and more ugly.

When Zheng Chao returned to Chaoyang Courtyard, he saw this scene: Xie Shi's face was angry, the coachman was constantly kowtowing, and there were broken teacups on the ground.

Seeing Zheng Chao come in, Xie's anger subsided by three points, and he ordered, "Let's all retreat." Zhang Da went to Shenxingtang to receive twenty sticks of family law, and the matter was settled. Be more careful in the future. ”

Shenxingtang is the place where the Yongning Marquis Mansion specializes in punishment, and the twenty-stick family law is not a simple matter, even for a strong man, it is very difficult. As soon as she said this, she saw that the coachman named Zhang Da trembled even more, but she could only retreat with Jing Niang and the others with a dead face.

"What's going on? That's the coachman in the house, right? Provoke the lady so angry, Shen Xingtang is still less than twenty sticks, it seems that the punishment must be increased. Zheng Chao said this, obviously saying words to please his wife, but he looked quite windy.

This time, the remaining anger in Xie's heart also disappeared, she glanced at Zheng Chao coquettishly, and then said: "Today, Sister Heng went to the school palace and took two maidservants out, but when she came back, there was one less person, but the coachman said that he didn't know what was going on. The servant girl is small, if everyone in the house does things like this, it will be a mess......"

She explained the matter carefully. If it weren't for Jing Niang's carefulness and discovery that Zheng Heng was missing a servant girl by his side, maybe the coachman wouldn't have told the truth and dared to deceive the master, these ten sticks are still less!

Zheng Chao listened, but he felt that he had grasped something, and couldn't help asking, "A servant girl, what handmaid?"

"It's a maid newly bought by the old lady, and it is said that she is a homeless person from Beizhou, and she has no household registration documents yet. I was still thinking about training this servant girl well, but I didn't expect her to be gone. That's why I punish these people. Xie replied, wondering why Zheng Chao would ask about this maid

A handmaid without a household registration...... He subconsciously thought of what Ye Yong said in the Assassin's Mansion, as well as the sea fishing document without a portrait.

That night, no bandits were caught in Jishan Street, and then when the officials of the two prefectures gathered in the Assassin's Mansion, Ye Yong showed a sea fishing document with the imperial seal, saying that a young girl had committed a serious crime and fled to Hedong Road, so that the officials paid more attention, and briefly talked about the girl's situation.

A girl in her twenties with a maid is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack to find such a girl in Hedong Road. This sea fishing document is equivalent to no in Zheng Chao's opinion.

But now, there is such a girl in the Yongning Marquis Mansion! Whenever anyone who appeared around the Zhang family, Zheng Chao paid twelve points of attention, so he hurriedly asked: "Is that handmaid in her twenties?

Hearing Zheng Chao ask, Xie Shi recalled the sallow-faced and cowering maid, so he shook his head and said, "No, that maid is older, just an ordinary poor girl." Sir, what's wrong?"

Zheng Chao had a disappointed look on his face. Girls from poor families in general, this doesn't match. Ye Yong repeatedly emphasized that the fugitive came from a large family. He also thought that the Zhang family had taken in the fugitives, which was a pity......

Immediately, as if he had thought of something, his eyes showed a fine light, and his mood gradually improved.
