Zhu's always calm and self-contained face was torn into pieces, and he pinched his palm hard, his eyes almost bulging out. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The family members hiding in the private house were actually arrested by Ah Zhuo?

How can it be?

Oh no, the point is how did Azhuo know that the old village owner and the children were in the private house?

Zhu's heart was in turmoil, and she instinctively refused to believe everything she heard.

She, Anayi, the smartest and most scheming person of her generation in several major families, has been a step-by-step strategy since she can remember.

And now she's been tricked by a recognized 'fool'?!

Zhu's heartless smirk appeared in Zhu's mind, and he refused to believe it even more.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, just that idiot of Ah Zhuo, it is impossible to calculate me in reverse. There must be some reason for this. ”

Unconsciously, Zhu actually said what he thought in his heart.

Ma Zhongtai also chased after him when he heard the movement, and when he heard Zhu's muttering, his brows couldn't help frowning.

The heart speaks, Anayi, what's wrong? At a critical juncture, you can't even tell the priorities?

The most important thing now is to make sure that the 'plan' is going well, not to worry about these useless things.

Ma Zhongtai tugged at Zhu's sleeve and reminded in a deep voice: "The matter has happened, it's useless to talk about it, let's decide what to do next." ”

Zhu came back to his senses, endured the anger and anxiety in his heart, and quickly asked the two servants: "What's going on?" Tell me more about it. ”

What's going on?

The two servant women looked confused, saying that how did they know what was going on?

The two of them are just rough servants of the Ma family, because they are strong and have the strength of their hands, they are often arranged by the hostess to run some errands.

can touch the inner courtyard, but he is not the master's henchman, and the information is not so well-informed.

What the master didn't know, how did they know?

Swallowing his saliva, one of them had a more flexible brain, and described in detail the whole process of the two of them 'escorting' Ah Zhuo to settle down.

Although this is not an accurate answer, it also gives Zhu a hint.

Zhu asked with a gloomy face, "You mean Ah Zhuo went directly to the courtyard of East Street?" "In other words, Azhuo knows the way? Or even familiar?

The servant woman felt an inexplicable coercion, and was worried, and when she heard this, she hurriedly nodded: "That's right, and the old slave thinks that when Fang was on the road, Miss Zhan Er seemed to have changed into a different person." ”

The other did not want to make his companion showy, and hurriedly added: "That's right, that's right, when the old slave found out that she was going the wrong way, he deliberately stopped to warn her, but she was severely reprimanded, not at all, not at all, not like-" The legendary 'single stupid'.

Zhu's face was so gloomy that she could almost wring out water, and the servant woman was so frightened that she swallowed the words behind her.

The servant woman said that these were originally intended to 'comfort' Madame - no wonder you were deceived, but Zhan Azhuo was too cunning, who would have thought that the famous 'Miss Han' in Shuixi was a pig and a tiger.

didn't want these words to fall into Zhu's ears, and it became a mockery of Hongguoguo.

"......" Zhu's eyes turned black for a while, his hands covered his chest, and his body was like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind, and he would fall down at some point.

Ma Zhongtai's teeth were clenched, and he endured it for a long time before asking, "What do you have to say to Zhan Azhuo?" ”

The plan failed!

A 'silly girl' like Zhan Azhuo can turn into a powerful woman, and it is estimated that there are other 'changes' in the plan.

Changes?

Ma Zhongtai narrowed his eyes, perhaps, their plan had already been leaked, and everything that happened today was just someone else's plan.

No wonder things are going so well!

Ma Zhongtai completely calmed down, and revisited his actions in the last few days, which really made him discover a few suspicious points.

First, although the heads of the five major families are weaker, they are not paper tigers that can be broken at the first poke, on the day of the Torch Festival, several of their families were indeed injured, and after they returned home, they were unusually calm.

This is not normal.

Those few are not fuel-efficient lamps, and they shouldn't be able to see the cats in them, according to common sense, someone in their own family has been plotted, even if they don't investigate and arrest the culprit with little fanfare, they will quietly mobilize people to return to the city to protect their homes.

But Qu, Yang and the other five did nothing.

is so abnormal, either their family has too many casualties to take care of anything else, or they already know the Ma family's plan and secretly unite to fight against the Ma family.

Second, Azhuo's performance is also very strange. Even if she has been hiding all along, the Zhan family, the Ma family, and the Zhu family have no life-and-death enmity, even if Anayi is suspected of using her, she has not caused harm after all, and Ah Zhuo does not need to be so desperate.

But Ah Zhuo did this, directly copied the secret base of the Ma family, and arrested all the children in the family.

This is the rhythm of the two families tearing their faces.

If it was the reckless Azhuo of the past, it would be normal for her to do so; But the problem is that Ah Zhuo is not stupid at all, and should understand what is at stake.

Ah Zhuo did this, did he get the instructions of the Shuixi Zhan family?

What's more, the private alliance between the Ma family and the Annan Royal Mansion has long been noticed by several major families in Shuixi? It just so happened that Anayi wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone, so the An family came up with a plan?

If that's the case, then it's going to be a problem.

Ma Zhongtai couldn't help but wonder if Qi Jinzhi and his wife were also involved in the big drama staged tonight?

Don't look at the rebellion in Shuixi last year, the Tusi of the Yi tribe and the Han army seem to have a big feud, however, in private, the relationship between the An, Lu, Zhan and other wealthy families and the imperial court is very good.

Otherwise, the imperial court would not easily let go of the Xuanfu envoy who provoked civil unrest, and the new Xuanfu envoy would not continue to be selected from the An family.

Even if someone hates the court, or hates the Qi family, that person is just a relieved envoy.

And the new Xuanfu envoy is also grateful to the imperial court to a certain extent, without the support of the imperial court, with his identity, it is impossible to replace his brother as the new head of the family, and his children and grandchildren will not be able to enjoy wealth forever.

The new head of the An family is interested in the imperial court, and several wealthy families in Shuixi are looking forward to the An family, so they are naturally not happy to see the king of Annan gaining power.

Ma Zhongtai's thinking is getting clearer and clearer, and he feels that he has touched the 'truth'.

"If that's the case, then—then our family—"

Ma Zhongtai's mouth was full of bitterness, one moment he was still winning, thinking that he could shine on the lintel, but the next moment he fell from the clouds into the quagmire, and even the people involved were questioned.

At this moment, Ma Zhongtai only hoped that King Annan did not raise troops, as long as King Annan did not rebel, then the Ma family would have the possibility of getting rid of the crime.

It's a big deal to push everything on King Xiaoliang, such a thing has not happened in the past.

Thinking of this, Ma Zhong Taifu had the energy again, and carefully recalled that there was any evidence left in the entire plan that clearly pointed to the Ma family.

In the meantime, he will also set out his ears to receive the answers of the servants.

I only heard one of them say respectfully: "Miss Zhan Er left a message that after half an hour, she will be waiting for you in the back office, hoping that you will bring the things you should bring." ”

"Something? What is it? Zhu's sanity returned, and he vaguely had an answer, but he still wanted to confirm it.

The servant woman who spoke looked embarrassed, "That's what she said, and the old slave didn't know anything else." ”

The other hurriedly nodded his head, indicating that this was indeed the case.

Ma Zhongtai already had a way to 'get out of trouble', and a touch of gloom flashed in his eyes, but when he raised his eyelids, he returned to his former calmness.

Waving his hand, Ma Zhongtai sent the two of them down, and immediately said to the Zhu family: "The plan should have failed, what I am most worried about now is that Shuixi has already formed an alliance with several families in Wumeng, and maybe there is also Qi Jinzhi's share." ”

Zhu was silent, her pride and reserve for half her life were knocked into scum at that moment.

Although she tried her best to keep her composure, she couldn't help but question her abilities.

In normal times, Zhu had already talked with Ma Zhongtai and told her speculations and thoughts in great detail.

It's like now, I obviously guessed it, but I didn't dare, or I didn't have the face to say it to show off.

Ma Zhongtai didn't seem to notice Zhu's abnormality, and seeing that she didn't speak, he continued to speak: "The riots in the city are probably fueled by them. ”

Ma Zhongtai couldn't help but taunt.

His face flashed with despair and unwillingness, he reached out and wiped his face away, wiping away the tears that rolled down, "Ah Zhuo is the antidote for you to hand over the Golden Silkworm Poison Gu, and by the way, hand over the list of secret agents who were planted in Shui'an's family, Wusa Quyang and several others, as well as the county government." ”

After saying this, Ma Zhongtai stopped talking and looked at Zhu quietly.

Zhu's expression was dull, and only his two hands unconsciously twisted the handkerchief.

Ma Zhongtai knew his wife and knew that she was thinking about it.

After a cup of tea, Zhu suddenly spoke, "Perhaps, there is still room for things to turn around." Over there at the Annam Palace—"

After planning for so many years, but in the end it fell short, and the Zhu family was unwilling in the end, and there was still a trace of luck.

Moreover, this time in conjunction with the Annan Palace, the Zhu family occupies the majority, and the Ma family is just a subordinate, if it really fails, the court will track it down, and the Ma family may be able to escape, but the Zhu family is dead!

Zhu was flustered.

According to the plan, the mother's side will also create chaos in various places in Shuixi, attracting the soldiers of the Shuixi battalion to rescue everywhere.

The palace of Annan and the king of Xiaoliang took the opportunity to send troops to take Shuixi in one fell swoop, and then relied on the materials, gunpowder and natural dangers of Shuixi to deal with the imperial court, and then achieved the goal of occupying the entire southwest.

Ma Zhongtai's eyes flashed, and he personally spoke to break Zhu's 'illusion': "I also hope that things are not so bad, but we must make more preparations, at least, to save the lives of our families first." ”

Zhu bit his lower lip, his face full of painful struggle.

At this moment, a person rushed in from outside.

"It's over, it's all over, the second master, the second grandmother, we have been tricked, the county government is fine at all, and the people who go to the city gate to answer are the people of the Zhan family,"

The man's head was covered in blood, and his right sleeve was cut, revealing a hideous wound, and blood dripped down his arm and fingertips to the ground. He said in despair: "An, Qu, Yang and other five families have also set up ambushes, and as soon as the people over there entered the door, they fell into the encirclement of others, and they were shot into hedgehogs in the blink of an eye, and no one survived......"

It was very quiet in the large main room, except for the man's cry echoing in the room.

"Second master, second grandmother, what should I do next? Do you want to go out of town overnight? After the man finished speaking, he cautiously suggested: "I can't stay in the county seat anymore, why don't you go back to the village to take refuge temporarily?" ”

It's not that there will be big turmoil in the future, you can withdraw to the cottage first, and when the turmoil subsides, it's the same if you come back.

When Zhu heard this, his eyes lit up, but soon darkened again. They can hide, but what about the old village owner and the children? She can ignore her father-in-law, but she must not save her own children.

Alas, if she knew this, she would have sent people back to the cottage directly.

blamed her for being too conceited and harming her family.

Zhu was anxious, remorseful and resentful, wanting to save the child for a while, and wanting to save his mother's family for a while, his brain was almost crowded with all kinds of thoughts.

Ma Zhongtai let out a long sigh, with a bit of resignation in his tone, "It doesn't matter whether our husband and wife live or die, but the father, the children and a few clan elders can't make mistakes, Anayi, Ah Zhuo are not easy to get along with, and the women of the An family are not good people." ”

In this world, not only the Miao people are good at Gu, but also the Yi people.

The Zhu family can use poison Gu to control the Duan family, Xu Si and other officials, and Ah Zhuo can also use poison Gu to 'punish' the people of the Ma family.

Zhu looked at Ma Zhongtai in a daze.

Ma Zhongtai did not shy away from it, and looked back straight at the past.

The husband and wife looked at each other for a long time, but Ma Zhongtai was not sure in his heart, and tilted his head slightly, avoiding Zhu's gaze.

A flash of disappointment flashed on Zhu's face, and finally nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”

Ma Zhongtai's nose was sour, and his heart was full of guilt and apology.

But he still didn't say anything, and watched Zhu walk out alone.

Seeing Zhu's back gradually disappear, Ma Zhongtai wiped his face with both hands, threw his sleeves into the study, laid paper, polished ink, grabbed a brush and wrote.

Zhu went out of the house and looked up at the sky, half of the night was over, and there were a few stars in the inky blue sky.

Zhu sighed silently and walked towards the back office.

There were still some fires on both sides of the street, but the fire had weakened, and some had turned to ashes, and when the wind blew, it drifted everywhere.

Pingbai added a bit of depression, and the rioters and gangsters who had just seemed to be a doomsday carnival disappeared, and the streets were silent again.

Zhu Shi paced lightly, and when he saw this scene, the frustration in his heart became stronger and stronger.

Out of the alley, I finally saw a few busy figures, Zhu glanced at it, and unexpectedly found that they were all Qi Jinzhi's people.

"Ma Zhongtai is right, these people are really generous, in order to lure us into the bait, they did not hesitate to use half of the county to act together,"

Zhu suddenly felt that her loss was not wronged, even without the variable of Ah Zhuo, with Qi Jinzhi's ability, she might not be able to succeed.

In the hall of the main courtyard of the back ya, the lights were bright, and several female dependents such as Ah Zhuo, Gu Jialuo, and Duan sat together, waiting for the Zhu family while talking.

In the front office, Qi Jin ordered the people to open the gate of the county government, light the torch, and sit in the main hall by himself, waiting for Ma Zhongtai's arrival.

Meng Fu and Zhou Wenyuan sat on the chairs below.

didn't wait long, Ma Zhongtai came, walked to the lobby, didn't say a word, picked up the hem of his clothes and knelt down, took out a letter and raised his hands above his head, and said: "County Zun, subordinates are guilty!" ”

Qi Jinzhi raised his eyebrows.

Liu Hu walked down to the hall and took the letter and handed it to Qi Jinzhi.

Qi Jinzhi opened it, glanced at it quickly, and his expression suddenly changed - Ma Zhongtai is too fucking ruthless!
