Cui's family.

Ning Guogong, An Guohou, and Cui San all hurried to Cui Si's courtyard, probably because they were lying on the bed and were called up in time, and they were even loosely draped with a coat or cloak on their bodies, which looked a little disheveled.

After a few people arrived, Master Cui Si, who was sitting on a chair looking at the booklet, hurriedly closed the booklet and stood up, and said to them: "A few cousins, come and take a look at the list on this booklet." ”

Among the several people, Ning Guogong, who was naturally the oldest and most respectful, took the booklet first, glanced at it a few times, and sure enough, the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became.

Cui Shi on the side was very proud, and began to smile and invite himself to take credit, and said: "Three cousins, in order to find this list, Rong'er and I have worked a lot. Zhu Hong hid this booklet deeply, and he guarded against us very tightly, if I hadn't been careful enough, this booklet might not have been able to be found. ”

After Ning Guogong finished reading it, after listening to her again, he let out an "oh" and said to Cui's family: "Thank you sister, our brothers will take credit for this matter." ”

Cui Shi waved his hand proudly and said, "What credit is not credit, these are all small things, and they should all be deserved." Have you forgotten that my brother is also surnamed Cui?" but that expression clearly hoped that they would remember her credit.

Ning Guo said fairly: "I still have to remember my sister's merits." As he spoke, he forgot about the outside sky, and said to Cui's again: "Sister, let's go back for the time being today, so as not to be seen by the people of the Zhu family." Seeing the embarrassment on her body, she said, "My sister is coming back on foot today, I will arrange a carriage to quietly send my sister back." ”

That's it? Cui Shi was immediately very disappointed.

She thought that she had done such a big thing for the Cui family, how could she be regarded as entering the Cui family's decision-making center, and they would definitely discuss this list later, shouldn't she be allowed to listen to it on the side?

Cui Shi felt that he did not receive the attention he deserved, and he was really disappointed.

But she didn't dare to disobey Ning Guogong, and she and Zhu Rong left the Zhu family in the future, and they had to rely on the Cui family.

Cui Shi then asked again: "Then will Rong'er and I be able to return to Cui's house soon?"

Ning Guo said fairly: "I'm afraid I will have to wronged my sister for a while, my sister came back with Rong'er at this time, wouldn't everything be known to Zhu Hong." ”

Ning Guogong is not concerned about the fact that Cui's mother and son return to the Cui family, for a person who has been married for more than 20 years and has a son in the Cui family, Ning Guogong will no longer regard her as the Cui family.

However, it is still necessary to fool around, so he said: "What's more, the Cui family still has important tasks to hand over to my sister, and my sister still needs to continue to help the Cui family monitor Zhu Hong in the Zhu family." Sister, don't worry, when things happen in the future, my brother will personally send someone to pick up your mother and son home. ”

Cui Shi was skeptical, not knowing if he was fooling her or really like that, but he didn't dare to say more, so he could only smile and say yes. Then he sighed lightly, stood for a while, looked at Ning Guogong and the others who were looking at her and waiting for her to go out, and curtled his knees and said, "Then I'll go back to Zhu's house first." ”

Ning Guogong nodded.

After the Cui family left, Ning Guogong handed the booklet in his hand to An Guohou and said, "You all have to take a look, and then tell your opinions." After saying that, he walked to the chair next to him and sat down first.

After An Guohou read it, he handed the booklet to Master Cui San again, and also walked to the chair next to Ning Guogong and sat down, and then sighed.

After reading it, Master Cui San was the first to speak, frowning and said: "If this list is true, then we used to think that a large part of the people who followed our Cui family and His Royal Highness King Qi will greatly reduce their loyalty, and even say that maybe they were originally the emperor's people and pretended to take refuge in us." ”

An Guohou said: "I think I have to put a question mark on the authenticity of this list, maybe Zhu Hong and the emperor made it to confuse us." ”

They have long suspected that Ruyifang, which is a serious business on the surface, is actually a spy and intelligence agency operated by Zhu Hong for the emperor. Over the years, they have used the Ruyi Fang to install enough fine works in the palaces of the ministers of the court, and even some loyal emperors have pretended to surrender to their ministers, and they have also received the emperor's control through the Ruyi Fang.

Although Ruyifang had done well in the past, it was still low-key, and they had never thought about it. Until the past two years, Ruyifang has become more and more high-profile, and even meddles in things in the DPRK and China from time to time.

Ruyi Fang has been established for many years, and when it was established, Yuwen Hong was still young, and they even suspected that Ruyi Fang was left to the emperor by the first emperor, in order to use it to deal with their Cui family today.

Fourth Master Cui asked: "Second brother thinks that my sister was instructed by Zhu Hong to pretend to give us a fake list?" Cui is the fourth elder sister of Cui Si, and Fourth Master Cui still couldn't help but say a few more words for this sister, and hurriedly said: "No, no, no, my sister will never do this, although she married into the Zhu family, her loyalty to the Cui family is obvious to everyone." ”

Master Cui San said with a smile: "Fourth brother, don't worry, we naturally won't speculate about the third sister like this." We are just worried that Zhu Hong is too cunning and will use the third sister to send a fake list to the Cui family, and use the hands of our Cui family to deal with the people who follow us. ”

In fact, Master Cui San did not rule out that the Cui family might have been subdued by Zhu Hong, after all, the Cui family also gave birth to a son surnamed Zhu, and no one dared to guarantee her loyalty to the Cui family.

Ning Guogong pondered for a long time and sighed: "When I knew this list but didn't get this list, I tried my best to get this list. Now that I have this list, I feel that this list is hot, and I don't know whether to believe it or not. ”

An Guohou said: "Whether you believe it or not, since these people appear in this list, you should take precautions." ”

Master Cui San said: "But if we wronged people, it will inevitably chill these people who follow us, and eventually cause everyone to panic, I'm afraid we won't work together." Once this kind of panic spreads, it is extremely unacceptable. ”

After a pause, he pondered for a moment, and then said: "If you want me to see it, I am afraid that this is the emperor's real trick, deliberately trying to create our suspicions, and to make our ancestors defeat before the battle. So I don't think it's enough to believe this list. The two brothers think about it carefully, what a cunning person Zhu Hong is, we have been tracking his Ruyi Fang for so long, and we can't catch the slightest handle, how can we easily let the third sister get this roster. ”

But An Guohou said: "What if this roster is true? We let so many undercover agents hide around us, even if we make all the preparations, how can it be ......?"

Master Cui Si looked left at this and right at that, and found that there was no place where he could interject.
