Chapter 403: Story
Shopkeeper Xia pursed his lips, "Zhang Shijiu has not worked with us and Shuntang for a day or two, he is not stupid, he knows that if he confesses us and Shuntang, it will not benefit him at all, and he should not talk nonsense." ”
Zhang Shijiu's people killed Zhang Lao Wu, although he didn't do it directly, but he was also an order, and his guilt was inevitable.
But he is not stupid, if he doesn't confess to Heshuntang, the Huang family will give him one or two activities outside, and he will still have room to live.
But if he confesses Heshuntang, there will be no one to protect him in the end, and the Huang family will not let go of his wife and children.
Huang Si frowned and didn't speak.
Their Huang family has been operating on Yizhou Road for many years, and a small Zhang 19 will not make their Southwest Hou Mansion hurt.
Even if Zhang Shijiu really confessed to Heshuntang, it would not shake the foundation of Heshuntang.
The Han Governor's Mansion did not have the courage to move the Southwest Hou Mansion.
He was worried about something else.
If He Shuntang is really involved, it will cause a lot of discussion in the city at that time, and he is afraid that the eldest brother and his mother-in-law will find an excuse to take back the management of He Shuntang.
How much effort did he have to get the management of Heshuntang, and he definitely couldn't let them take it back now.
He was even more worried about the consequences of the incident.
From the recent expressions of his father and eldest brother, he probably guessed that Song Yanei had taken over the Praetorian Guard, and he was afraid that he would also take over the Southwest Army in the near future.
At this time, the Southwest Hou Mansion should be more cautious, if there is a matter of Heshuntang deliberately killing and framing Mu Niangzi at this time, with Princess Minghui's attitude towards Mu Niangzi today, Song Yanei will inevitably take action against the Southwest Hou Mansion.
Father shouldn't want to confront Song Yanei now.
Huang Si sighed and implicitly revealed this meaning to Shopkeeper Xia.
Shopkeeper Xia's face turned a little pale when he heard this, he didn't expect it, he thought it was just a battle between Shuntang and Xinglintang, but he didn't expect that the military and politics of Yizhou Road were also involved behind it.
If it really caused trouble for Hou Ye, it would be miserable.
Huang Si sighed, "Uncle Xia, we can be said to be suffering from external and internal troubles now, looking at the situation of Xinglintang's opening today, it will inevitably become a strong rival of us and Shuntang, and it will also affect Heshuntang's income." ”
The Huang family started with medicinal materials, and until now, although the Southwest Hou Mansion has also been involved in many other industries, the medicinal materials and medical halls are also the bulk of the financial revenue of the Southwest Hou Mansion.
If the income of Heshuntang is affected, the income of the Southwest Hou Mansion will naturally drop sharply.
"Uncle Xia knows that I am a concubine, and it is false to say that I want to change Heshuntang without selfishness, but I will not ignore Heshuntang's life or death, you must know that if something happens to Heshuntang, neither you nor I will be able to get better. Huang Si looked at Shopkeeper Xia fixedly, with a frank face.
"Uncle Xia, at this time, we should be in the same boat and unanimously with the outside world, what do you say?"
Shopkeeper Xia's expression changed, the look on his face hesitated, hesitated, and finally gritted his teeth fiercely, "I understand the fourth master, and I will definitely discuss with the fourth master more in the future." ”
Discuss more with the fourth master, but not everyone who listens to the fourth master, Huang Si secretly scolded the shopkeeper Xia for being cunning, but he was also faintly relieved.
Shopkeeper Xia needs him to go to the government to carry out activities, and in the future, Heshuntang's account book will naturally not dare to hide it and not show it to him.
Different from the depressed atmosphere on Heshuntang's side, the Han family's side is jubilant.
As soon as Han Yuntao and Xu Yuzhi entered the door, Mrs. Han and Mrs. Han greeted them with tears in their eyes.
Mrs. Han was anxious about Han Yuntao's arm injury, and when she entered the door, she went to see his arm, "How is the arm injury?" You said that you are a weak scholar, how can you rush up to block the knife for others, or for that ......?"
Due to the large number of people in the hall, Mrs. Han pursed her mouth and swallowed the reproach that came to her mouth.
Mrs. Han Gu pulled Xu Yuzhi, who was following Han Yuntao, over and lifted his robe.
Xu Yuzhi was so frightened that he hid to the side, "Mother, what are you doing?"
Mrs. Han's eyes were red, "Let my mother look at your belly, how could you be so seriously injured?"
Just now they were waiting at home in a hurry, and sent the little maids to go out to find out the news over and over again, and the little maids had already told the situation that happened at the door of Xinglin Hall.
Knowing that Xu Yuzhi lifted his clothes and had a scar more than two inches long on his stomach, Mrs. Han Gu's frightened soul was gone.
"Mother, aren't I fine now? I can run and jump, and my injuries have long been healed. Xu Yuzhi took Mrs. Han's hand and didn't let her lift her clothes.
"My cousin is here, how bad is it for you to lift my clothes, if you really want to see the knife edge, my son will show it to you when I go back to the room, okay?"
Mrs. Han Gu acted in a hurry just now, and she also knew that it was inappropriate at the moment, and saw that although her son was thinner and darker, he was full of energy, and her hanging heart was also put down a lot.
"Cousin, cousin, tell us about your injury. Seeing that their mother and son finally stopped being entangled in undressing, Han Jiu Niangzi immediately ran over, blinked a pair of big eyes, and looked at Xu Yuzhi curiously.
"Well, that's a long story...... Xu Yuzhi helped Mrs. Han Gu sit down and began to talk about how she was injured.
The hall was quiet for a while, and Mrs. Han frowned, but she didn't say anything to stop it.
The return of his son from a long trip was originally a great joy, but because Mu Niangzi's Xinglintang injured her son today, the happy event was discounted.
And with her woman's intuition, she felt that her son was not ordinary to this Mu lady.
It just so happened that she also wanted to take this opportunity today to hear who this Mu Niangzi was and how she met her son?
For a while, only Xu Yuzhi's gushing voice and Han Yuntao's occasional smile added to the hall were left.
After a long time, Han Jiu Niangzi's voice full of surprise and admiration sounded, "Mu Niangzi is really amazing, her cousin is so seriously injured, she can be cured." ”
Mrs. Han Gu folded her hands together, recited the blessing of the Buddha, and said, "I will personally go to Xie Mu Niangzi another day." ”
She only has one son, Xu Yuzhi, and if her son is gone, she probably won't be able to live.
So for Mu Jin, who saved her son's life, Mrs. Han instinctively had a good impression.
"Not only did she cure me, she also cured the emperor's eldest grandson and King Liang, you don't know, the situation at that time caused a sensation in the capital......" Xu Yuzhi said about the rise, and opened the lecture again.
"Yuzhi!" Han Yuntao frowned and interrupted Xu Yuzhi's words.
Han Jiu Niangzi pouted dissatisfiedly and looked at Han Yuntao, she was listening with great interest.
"It's all over the meal, I'm hungry, let's eat first. Han Yuntao winked at Xu Yuzhi.
Xu Yuzhi's eyes rolled, "Yes, yes, I'm also hungry, I've been outside for a few months, but I miss home (⊙o⊙)... (⊙o⊙)… Meals. ”
Hearing that her son was hungry, Mrs. Han immediately forgot everything, "Just listening to your stories, I forgot to eat, come on, let them eat first." ”
After that, he coaxed Han Jiu Niangzi, "Anyway, your cousin is going to live at home for a long time, so if you want to hear the story, you can go to your cousin again." ”
Mrs. Han, who had not spoken on the side, frowned, looking at her son thoughtfully.
