At the end of May, Uncle Zheng Tian, the secretary of Dali Temple who investigated and collected evidence in Hexi, finally returned with human and physical evidence. This national tax case, which affected most of the imperial court in the capital, was officially opened.

After more than half a year of investigation, the trial took less than half a month. The three divisions were tried, and I thought that the Sun family would not be able to escape. But what he didn't want to try was all done by Sun Yunzhou, the eldest man of the Sun family. It didn't involve the Sun family at all.

Sun Xiang, who was already dying, was finally dismissed from office and never hired.

After the verdict of the national tax case, Sun Yunzhou, the principal involved in the case, was beheaded in the autumn. The tomb of the Sun family in the land of exile. One-third of the officials involved in the DPRK and China were large and small, and most of the officialdom in Hexi was in bad condition.

The heavens of the entire court have changed, the Sun family has fallen, and the Zhuo family has grown.

Just when everyone was still thinking about their attitude towards the Zhuo family, another thing came, which made everyone who was preparing to warm up the Zhuo family stop moving.

Lan Guifei was rejected by the king because of her confrontation with the emperor and was sent to the cold palace.

In the harem of the two dynasties, no palace concubine has ever entered the cold palace, this Lan Guifei, who was originally in full swing, was suddenly beaten into the cold palace, what sign is this?

Could it be that after taking the Sun family, the emperor is going to start moving the Zhuo family?

When Zhuo Yijia received the letter, he was in the house outside the southern city, holding the list of officials of the imperial court who had been suspended, demoted, or dismissed because of the national tax case.

With one hand on the table, the other hand holds a pen and marks the list. The silver-white mask was set aside, and the hair on his forehead was a little loose because it was gone.

Sanniang hurriedly walked in and informed Lan Guifei that she had been beaten into the cold palace.

Zhuo Yijia was so shocked that the pen trembled, and the ink spilled on the paper. She looked up at Sanniang and exclaimed, "How come? A few days ago, I saw that she was still fine!"

Sanniang looked at Zhuo Yijia and shook her head: "I don't know the specifics, the news from the palace generals just came." ”

Zhuo Yijia listened to Sanniang's words, frowned and put down the pen in his hand: "This thing is too sudden, there must be something strange." ”

Sanniang nodded: "The subordinates also think that something is wrong." I have already informed Mama Bai beside Concubine Lan and asked her to come and see me tonight. ”

"Just meet me. Zhuo Yijia said, turned his head to look at the sky outside the house, and then turned his head to look at Sanniang: "Go and tell Changyu that I won't go back today." By the way, let Zhao Fengyao send someone to keep an eye on the movements of Zhuo Mansion. ”

Sanniang nodded, looked at Zhuo Yijia's response, and stepped back.

Zhuo Yijia got up, walked outside the house, and looked at the water tank in the center of the courtyard. Then I looked up and looked at the somewhat dim sky in the sky. It was still sunny at noon, but suddenly it was gloomy.

The night is getting darker. Zhuo Yijia stood under the eaves with his hands behind his back. Looking up, the already sinking sky was shrouded in dark clouds.

There was movement from the side. Zhuo Yijia turned his head and watched Zhao Fengyao walk out of another room with a secret passage.

He walked straight to Zhuo Yijia's side, and then took out a glutinous rice dumpling from his arms: "I heard Sanniang say that you haven't had dinner yet, and it's still hot." ”

As soon as he saw Zhao Fengyao, Zhuo Yijia inexplicably cooled down, and said coldly while turning around: "Don't eat." ”

Zhao Fengyao looked at Zhuo Yijia and didn't say much. just buried his head and untied the glutinous rice dumplings, and then handed them to Zhuo Yijia: "Eat, have you eaten less of my things?"

Zhuo Yijia turned his head, raised his eyebrows to look at Zhao Fengyao, and said dissatisfiedly: "When did I eat your things?"

"Didn't you eat my honey?" Zhao Fengyao said confidently, his voice was lowered again, and he muttered while turning his head: "And my mouth." ”

"Ahem. The saliva swallowed by the good fish following behind him was suddenly choked. blushing, he glanced up at Zhao Fengyao in front of him, and quickly lowered his head, looking at his nose and his heart.

Zhuo Yijia stood aside, her face flushed from Zhao Fengyao's words. She bit her lip and glared at Zhao Fengyao, and after a while, she held back a few words: "Zhao Fengyao, can you not be so unserious?"

"Then do you like me to be so improper?" Zhao Fengyao turned his head and calmly handed over the glutinous rice dumplings in his hand as he spoke.

Zhuo Yijia looked at Zhao Fengyao with a tense face, and her teeth rattled.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry. If you eat the glutinous rice dumplings, I'll tell you something serious. Zhao Fengyao said, and padded the glutinous rice dumplings in his hand again: "It's very sweet, if you taste it, you will definitely like it." ”

Zhuo Yijia listened to Zhao Fengyao's words and looked down at the glutinous rice dumplings he was holding in his hand.

"Hurry up and eat, I'll tell you about the Zhuo family after eating. Zhao Fengyao handed the glutinous rice dumplings in his hand while the iron was hot.

Zhuo Yijia hesitated, but finally stretched out his hand to take it, and then glanced at Zhao Fengyao: "Just say it, what's the matter." ”

Zhao Fengyao watched Zhuo Yijia pick up the dumplings and start eating, so he laughed: "The people of the Zhuo family don't do anything outside, they can't control the emperor's harem." However, Hua Taijun fainted angrily. ”

Zhuo Yijia listened to Zhao Fengyao's words while eating dumplings. remembered Hua Taijun I saw when I went to the Zhuo family for a banquet before. Old and sickly.

"Hua Taijun's body is getting worse and worse. Concubine Lan is her most beloved granddaughter, and she naturally can't stand it when she hears the news. Zhuo Yijia ate the dumplings, and turned his head to look at Zhao Fengyao: "What about the Zhuo family's big house, what are the movements?"

"The questioning will definitely not, but Zhuo Shunwu allowed Zhuo Ziheng to send the secret guard of the General's Mansion to investigate this matter. Zhao Fengyao said, sat down on the bench under the porch along the pillar, and patted the position next to him: "Sit down." He continued: "In this way, the daughter of the Zhuo family in the third room is still alive in the third room." ”

Zhuo Yijia sat down in Zhao Fengyao's position and shook his head: "That's not certain." Zhao Guyi's body is also getting worse day by day. Listening to Sanniang, she coughed up blood at the beginning of the month. ”

Zhuo Yijia said, finished the last bite of glutinous rice dumplings, and looked at the window coffin facing the chair in the corridor.

As he spoke, Zhuo Yijia turned his head to look at Zhao Fengyao: "What kind of disease is Zhao Guyi?" Sanniang said that it was a disease brought out of the mother's womb, and the disease brought out of the mother's womb, how could she live so long?"

"That's what he can do. Zhao Fengyao looked at Zhuo Yijia, who had already eaten, and took out a Jinpa and stretched out his hand to wipe the corners of her mouth for her.

Zhuo Yijia dodged his head. She turned her head and glanced at Zhao Fengyao: "You are very handy." ”

Zhao Fengyao smiled and withdrew the Jin Pa plug back into his arms: "I can do anything to you." ”

Zhuo Yijia turned his head, frowned again, and looked at Zhao Fengyao with a slight headache.

Zhao Fengyao didn't seem to see Zhuo Yijia's appearance, turned his head and leaned against the pillars of the corridor with his head in his arms, and said, "Do you explain that Emperor Xian's actions are like rumors that he is going to do something to the Zhuo family?"
