The Xia family discussed it very well, but they didn't expect that in just one day, the third brother would bring back news from the wine shop. King Xing's family turned out to be sick, injured, and gone, and now there is only one good man left. It's really a twist and turn, and for a while, even Xia Xiucai didn't know how to deal with it.

The third brother said the gossip he heard in the tavern: "There is a pregnant concubine in the prince's room, who is already six or seven months pregnant. Because there are so many things at home these days, I actually had a miscarriage. In the end, it collapsed with blood, one corpse and two lives, and I heard that it was still a baby boy. Look, isn't it a leak in the house? ”

He also said: "People outside say: The princess has only been gone for two days, and the backyard is in chaos." Shizi was so angry that he simply attacked a few mothers-in-law and aunts in the backyard, and even drove out a few of them. ”

When Xiaoyu heard this, she sighed and said to Xia Xiucai: "I think, it's better to wait and send someone to the second brother." However, the countryside should take care of it, especially the Zhuangzi that I just bought from Mrs. Wu, and store more grain. Dad, it's better to send Ruhai and Rushan over and have more dealings with those villagers. The third brother has to pay attention to the movements of the Sun family again, King Xing has fully shrunk, and the Sun family may also have some tricks. ”

He stroked his chin again and said, "I have to let Ruhai go back quickly and ask my mother what she means." Alas, at this time, it is better to let the mother be here. Let sister-in-law Zhang Luo's sixth brother get married, she is also measured. ”

The third brother and Xia Xiucai looked at her in amazement, one idea after another, and there was a bit of a shadow of Xiao Xia's mother-in-law.

In the study room of the Sun Mansion, the head of the house, Sun Lu sat behind the bookcase with his fingers crossed, and several staff groups sat on the left and right, all silent. King Xing's shrinkage made Sun Lu unable to start, and now the emperor's intentions are too obvious, and several princes are probably in danger. Some time ago, Zhang Zi, the squire of the Ministry of Works, wrote a letter, proposing to use land to atone for the crime, and if the kings broke the law, they would follow the example of the previous dynasty and recover part of the fief as punishment. The emperor actually stayed in the middle and did not send it, which shows that this is to completely eradicate the vassal king.

Sun Lu's staff Song Zonghui, thirty or forty years old, wore a cyan silk shirt, his hair was curled in a bun and a white jade hairpin was inserted, a white and chubby round face, squinting his small eyes, twisting a few sparse beards and saying: "Yesterday, the young master also went to Xingwang's Mansion to visit the county king, and I heard him say that the county king's injury this time was indeed not light. It's just that this is too coincidental, and the family is suddenly like this, I'm afraid it's a bit of a shame. ”

Staff member Li Yi was the oldest, under the cyan Liuhe hat, showing gray hair, a face as thin as a knife and axe, wearing a green cloth robe, sitting opposite Lord Sun and saying: "If King Xing is really willing to stay honestly, it is also our blessing." I'm afraid that he is waiting for an opportunity to make trouble with other princes in the future. At that time, King Xing's fief is with us, and I am afraid that Lord Fu Yin will be unable to escape the blame. ”

Sun Lu nodded and said, "I'm also worried about this." It's always unfavorable! He turned his head and asked Chen Yuqing on the right: "How about going to guard there today." ”

Chen Yuqing has a Chinese face, wears a green silk straight embellished, shakes the folding fan in his hand, although he is dressed as a scholar, his big hands are thick bones, and he is actually a practitioner. "The garrison is also restless. The brothers on the rivers and lakes have news from the fiefdom of King Song, and I heard that King Song has found the wrong place and started to do it. ”

Sun Lu was shocked: "Is this news reliable?" How sure are you? ”

Chen Yuqing lowered his eyes, dusted his sleeves and said, "Six or seven percent sure." There are also rumors from King Zhou, saying that he got rid of a concubine. ”

Li Yi said: "King Xing is too cunning, we just wrote a letter last time to test the emperor's intentions, and he ordered the palace to be closed. Now it's not easy to even get in, if you want to find the handle, alas! It's hard! ”

Song Zonghui snorted coldly: "Now the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die." Handle or something, just point out one casually and then what's so difficult. The key is whether the adults have made up their minds. ”

Sun Lu couldn't help but squint his eyes: There is no excuse for the crime that you want to add!

In the Xingwang Mansion, I think that now that the catastrophe is coming, it is rare for the husband and wife to lie side by side, whispering and talking. It's like going back to when we were newly married.

Princess Xing sighed: "I don't know, where Li'er has gone." ”

King Xing stroked his wife's shoulders and comforted: "Li'er goes to his third uncle, it is safer than following us." ”

Princess Xing pursed her lips and couldn't hold back her crying. Instead, he smiled: "That Xia family girl is really clever, I heard that your wolf teeth were almost killed by her." He laughed mischievously and looked at him with a bit of mockery.

When King Xing heard this, the corners of his mouth involuntarily curved up: "I started wearing your riding costume, I thought it was you." Oops, delicate red sleeves, riding a horse leaning on the bridge. ”

Princess Xing heard this and said, "Phew, you don't know how to learn." It is clear that he was young at that time, with thin shirts, riding horses and leaning on the bridge, and the building was full of red sleeves. You see that it took the red sleeves to pick me. ”

King Xing rarely saw his wife making a small temperament, and couldn't help laughing.

Angry, Princess Xing pinched him fiercely, and whispered in his ear: "I'm pretending to be sick, and I'm still so angry." ”

King Xing's face sank, and his laughter stopped abruptly.

Princess Xing couldn't help but regret it, she just pretended to be sick, she didn't go out of the door, and she couldn't escape death if she didn't step out of the second door. Leaned over again and asked King Xing softly: "Is the concubine of King Zhou's family really getting away with one?" ”

King Xing nodded: "Nine times out of ten, I heard that I also went to the third child." Alas, the fifth child has to change something after giving up the family, this concubine is the most proud son of the fifth child, named Zhou Chong, two years older than Li'er. He is good and resourceful, it turns out that our brothers are a pity that he is a concubine, you can pick up a life at this time. ”

Princess Xing nodded, this concubine has been replaced, and it is not very eye-catching, but the concubine is checked tightly.

King Xing said again: "It's a pity that the little girl of the Xia family, although her background is worse now, it is more than enough for us to be worthy of Li'er." The elder brothers in her family, the seventh brother and the fifth brother, will definitely be able to get into the jinshi. Even that nephew's future can't be wrong. ”

Princess Xing nodded: "That talented lady is very powerful, and that demeanor is really from a rich family." I heard that it was the family that suffered and was defeated? ”

King Xing nodded, and the person who went out to check came back and said: It is a branch of the Lu family, a big family in the northwest, and there is a big drought in the village, and many bandits have come, and they have slaughtered the village. However, there are also rumors that the Di people came to rob them disguised as bandits.

Princess Xing smiled: "It's really leaky when it comes to talking. said that Miss Xia's marriage must wait until her brothers take the imperial examination, so as not to wronged the girl. Listen, this heart is not big, but it is not small. ”

King Xing nodded: "If you get through this time, it's not bad to tell Li'er about such a family matter, and you will have peace of mind in the future." Let his daughter-in-law take care of him. ”

Princess Xing was a little unhappy when she heard this: "What the hell is a girl from a banker's family, and she is so powerful." ”

King Xing smiled: "Don't you see, that girl is amazing." In the future, if she has a child, Li'er will not be able to break into a big disaster if she is under her control. Even if it is a little trouble, that girl can protect him. ”

Princess Xing said angrily: "I have been protecting you for so many years." ”

King Xing saw her eyes wandering, and her look of anger seemed to be coquettish, and he couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart.

The next day, Xiao Xia's mother-in-law handed over the sixth brother's family affairs to her sister-in-law Zhang Luo, and she hurried back to Fengxiang Mansion. Just sat down, and before the tea was drunk, the third brother hurriedly ran back with a pale face.

The third sister-in-law was surprised and asked, "You are not watching in the store, what are you doing at home?" ”

The third brother said in a panic: "Go and call someone to the house to learn to send my father, Lao Qi and Ruhai to the house, and say that my grandmother is sick, and we will go back to the countryside overnight today to serve the sick." ”

Xiao Xia Pozi was shocked: "Did the prefect do it?" ”

The third brother's eyes widened, and he swallowed his saliva before saying: "The entire street of Xingwangfu is surrounded by officers and soldiers, and I heard that the garrison and the prefect moved together. ”

Xiao Xia said: "What kind of crime can be said to be not?" ”

The third brother nodded and said, "Secretly hiding ordnance with the intention of rebellion." ”

Xiao Xia Pozi only felt that her legs were weak, and cold sweat was dripping down her spine, so Xiaoyu hurriedly helped her sit down.

The third brother said again: "It's better to call my father and them back first." ”

Mrs. Xiao Xia waved her hand, her slender fingers on the table, and her fingertips tapped gently: "I don't know what the situation is yet, let Fu Bo, who is guarding the door, go to the wine shop to call a guy over, and ask again." ”

Xiao Xia squinted and thought for a long time, and whispered, "Could it be that the holy decree has come down?" ”

At this moment, the fifth brother's servant hurried in, and the porter Fubo was still shouting something behind.

The little guy also saluted quickly and said, "The fifth master said that it was 100,000 urgent, so you should hurry up and see this." As he spoke, he handed over a paper bag.

Rao is Xiaoxia Pozi is determined to be determined, and her hands can't help shaking at this time, or Xiaoyu opened the paper bag. But it is the latest Di newspaper, the Song King of Datong was cut to a commoner and sent to Zhangzhou. Xiao Xia Pozi secretly complained in her heart, she never thought that she would be so reckless today, and she would be like a mountain and a sea without any foreshadowing, and she would cut three kings in a row.

At this time, Xiaoyu called out in a low voice: "Mother, look at this." What the hell is this for? ”

Xiao Xia Pozi looked down and looked again, she couldn't cry or laugh, and there was a small article in the newspaper: Zhou Yu, the eldest son of King Yi, went out of the capital yesterday. It is said that King Yi's old injuries recurred, his health deteriorated, but the Jurchens and the Mongols flanked on both sides, and King Yi lost his troops in these battles. had to recruit the eldest son to serve in front of the army.

Xiaoyu asked Fu Bo to beckon the fifth brother's servant to go down to rest first, and then told him to go to the wine shop and call a clever guy to come over.

Xiao Xia's mother-in-law sent the third sister-in-law to prepare dinner again, and then discussed with the third brother and Xiaoyu. It was only a matter of two cups of tea, and the guys in the wine shop came.

"It's a mess out there right now. The garrison and the prefect surrounded the king's mansion like an iron bucket, and I heard that it had been two or three hours since they had been in it. ”

Xiaoyu couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice, "Can you see them being escorted out?" ”

"I haven't seen anyone taken out. Some people who know the subordinates of King Xing's mansion say that Princess Xing and King Xing also have the prince and the king of the county are not in the mansion at all. Now the garrison and the prefect are in a hurry. ”

"Huh!?" Xiao Xia's mother-in-law, Xia Sange, and Xiaoyu couldn't help but widen their eyes and exclaimed.
