54. Water mixing
Yu Mingyi woke up in the middle of the night, probably because Zhou Zhifu had slept with him every night during this time, and suddenly there was one less person around him who was not used to it, or maybe he was worried about Ah Wan, and he woke himself up when he turned over. He usually wakes up in the night and never sleeps again.
This long night, he did not alarm the waiter, quietly put on clothes, it was just in the courtyard around, you can see not far away, the small pavilion on the rockery, where there is a big lantern, the dim light reflects the scenery on the rockery, there is a different taste, at this time, he actually wants to go to the pavilion to sit.
He put on a thick cloak, gathered the hot small hand stove, and quietly walked to the side of the rockery, because it was the New Year, although the yard was not full of lanterns like Chinese New Year's Eve, but there were also lanterns hung in several secluded corners. With these glimmers, he walked very smoothly.
The rockery looked close, in fact, it was going to take a while, and by the time he sat down in the pavilion, it had already been more than half an hour, but he was tired. He wore a dark cloak, and his whole body was shrouded in the night, and he leaned motionless against the pillar to rest. Suddenly, I saw a fire in the backyard of the barren general's mansion opposite, as well as the smoke of burning incense and candles, and it was obvious that someone was secretly worshipping at this time.
"Could it be that there are other people alive in the General's Mansion? Or is someone still reciting the general's affection? Yu Mingyi said in his heart.
Although he knew that the eldest prince of the General's Mansion was still alive, everyone knew that the eldest prince had disappeared a long time ago. Some people even privately speculated that the eldest prince was not missing, but dead. But at this time, the people who came to the General's Mansion to worship obviously had a lot to do with the General's Mansion. He thought like this, but he didn't expect that it didn't take long for him to see a black shadow quietly sweeping over the courtyard wall, and it didn't go into the night, looking at the direction of the black shadow should be a place with fire. Sure enough, it didn't take long for him to hear the sound of people stepping on tree branches, as well as the sound of low shouts and fights, although these sounds were extremely low, but they were very clear in the dead of night.
He stared nervously at the other side, his ears wide open, he was wondering what the hell was going on with these two people, and he even forgot to be afraid. It didn't take long for him to see two dark shadows climb over the courtyard wall, one after the other. By the light of his back door, he saw the person in front of him quickly disappear into the night. The person who was left behind did not chase after him, but seemed to be carefully looking around, and then when he didn't expect it at all, the black shadow actually rolled into the courtyard of his house, jumped a few vertically, lightly avoided the light, and disappeared. Yu Mingyi was so frightened that she bit her lip and didn't dare to move for a long time.
I don't know how long it took for him to find out that he actually broke out in a cold sweat, and was blown by the cold wind, and his whole body shivered with cold. He looked around cautiously for a while, and then he came out of the pavilion, and along the way he didn't dare to look into the corners and corners at all, picking up the usual people-to-go road.
When he returned to the room, he poured hot water on the stove and scrubbed it, changed into dry clothes and covered them in the quilt, and it took a long time to warm up. At this time, he realized that he was afraid that someone in his baron's mansion had been monitoring the general's mansion. I don't know if it's official or private? Is it in good faith or in bad faith?
"Do you want to cut the grass and eradicate the roots?" He doubted in his heart that because the eldest prince of the General's Mansion was not dead, many people knew about it. Everyone will also privately guess whether this eldest prince will take revenge. In fact, many people know in their hearts that the general's death is not clear.
Yu Mingyi heard Governor Zhou mention a few words about the General's Mansion, and also inquired about it, although the General's Mansion was raided, the emperor did not condemn Ah Hao. It's just that after Ah Hao left the Hou Mansion, the eldest son and son of the Hou Mansion, that is, Ah Hao's husband, and the Hou Ye all had accidents one after another, the Hou Ye died, and the son was disabled. Although the Hou Mansion still has two sons, they are both young and have no foundation. At this point, the Hou Mansion is almost over, although there is a young son who became the Hou Ye at a young age, but it is still early for him to grow up.
At that time, some people privately spread that the affairs of the General's Mansion were related to the Hou Mansion. As soon as the general's mansion was raided, Ah Hao was kicked out of the house by the Hou Mansion. Not only that, but the Hou Mansion also coveted a lot of Ah Hao's dowry, although Ah Hao was not out of the house, but most of the dowry was irretrievable. The Hou Mansion did not have any affection at all when he asked to marry Ah Hao, not to mention that Ah Hao saved the life of the son of the world, so the two would get to know each other, and then the Hou Mansion invited. At that time, Concubine Zhu Xian's family, who was not yet the queen, came forward to protect the media, which prompted the marriage of the two.
And after the general's incident, the people who got the most benefit were the new queen and the new prince. And the Hou Mansion was able to invite Concubine Zhu Xian, who was not the queen at that time, and it was obvious that she was also a member of the new queen's faction. Otherwise, it would not have been after the Hou Ye and the prince had an accident one after another, and the palace immediately ordered a five-year-old child to be the Hou Ye.
The most important thing is that the Hou Mansion swept Ah Hao out of the house, using the reason that Ah Hao couldn't have children, was jealous, and killed the pregnant concubine of the son. Although Ah Hao married Hou Fu for three years and did not get pregnant, it was only three years, and there was no imperial doctor who said that Ah Hao really couldn't give birth, and Ah Hao did not kill the pregnant concubine of the son. Because the prince has always shown affection for him, although there were two people in the room before marriage, but after getting married, no one came to him to serve tea at all, and the prince had no serious concubine room on his face. The noble family is the most suspicious of the housewife and the heir of the husband, especially the housewife herself can't give birth, isn't this going to cut off the incense of others?
The Hou Mansion came up with this kind of reason, and some people who were originally unhappy for Ah Hao in private were embarrassed to stand up for him. After all, my family doesn't want such a daughter-in-law. At this time, Ah Hao's father learned a weight news from a nail buried in the Hou Mansion in advance before Ah Hao married into the Hou Mansion.
It turned out that Ah Hao hadn't been pregnant for three years because Shizi had taken the child avoidance pill when he had sex with him. After Ah Hao learned the news, he was simply angry and shocked, he immediately understood that his marriage to the prince was originally a play designed by others to calculate the general, and he was in it without knowing it, and he inadvertently became a sharp weapon against his father.
It's just that he is stupid, although he was reluctant to marry the prince at first, and he was still very resistant to having sex with the son, but under the tender and cheeky attack of the prince, he collapsed. What's more, the prince of the world only loves him alone, and even the people in the room before marriage have been sent away, so he lives alone, and it is his blessing to meet such a husband. So he began to slowly tell the prince some of his things, among which he inadvertently revealed that there were many righteous sons adopted by the general under the general's account. Even some of the secret forces that the general left to him were revealed.
It was precisely because of this that the Hou Mansion and the five princes at that time were able to slowly take the opportunity to disintegrate the general's power. As a result, there were fewer and fewer henchmen around the general, and in the end, he was defeated and injured on the battlefield, and was later accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason.
At that moment, he wanted to kill himself, he gave himself a few slaps, but was quickly persuaded by the people around him. And he also grew up at this moment, he knew that he couldn't die, he was left alone in the entire General's Mansion, and he not only wanted to take revenge but also inherit the incense. But he couldn't swallow this evil breath, so that night something happened in the Hou Mansion, the Hou Ye died, and the son was crippled. And the price he paid was the death of two henchmen and the breaking of the nails that his father buried in the General's Mansion.
Subsequently, he was chased and killed by the Hou Mansion and the prince, losing manpower all the way, and almost destroying all the men and horses left by the general, at this time he understood better that these people would not let him go, if he didn't make the first move, he was afraid that he would die faster. Then, he disappeared incognito from the world.
Although what happened in the Hou Mansion was characterized as an accident, many people talked about it in private, and it must have been the revenge that the Hou Mansion did something unfavorable to the General's Mansion. It also made some discerning people understand that the general's affairs are tiresant. But since the emperor wants to move the general, everyone has to think that they don't know, who thinks that they have a long life. It's just a sigh for the general in private.
Yu Mingyi was frightened and frightened in the second half of the night, thinking that someone was buried in his house, always monitoring the abandoned General's Mansion, he couldn't live at this time. This Baron's Mansion is too dangerous. Even with the ten subordinates here, he didn't believe them in the first place, and now he felt that everyone was suspicious. He recalled carefully, the ten people in his impression, in fact, he didn't have much contact with other people except for being familiar with the housekeeper Wan You. Even if he has a super complete memory, he can recognize anyone who has seen one or two faces, but on a winter night, he really can't distinguish the masked man in black.
So, he made up his mind to leave the place immediately, and not to leave a single person of his own. As for what would happen to this baron's palace, he wasn't too worried. Anyway, all the subordinates here are sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and if something happens at that time, it will be over with a push. Originally, he was going to leave a few people behind and run it slowly, but now he doesn't need it.
However, there are many things that he can still hand over to Zhou Zhifu to do, after all, the two of them are now one, and Zhou Zhifu is much better than him in handling interpersonal relationships, plus Zhou Zhifu himself has been operating in Beijing for many years, and there is always some power of his own.
So, as soon as Governor Zhou came back the next day, he told him what happened last night.
"Don't make a noise here, it's a big deal." Governor Zhou was taken aback and immediately reminded him. He even took a closer look around.
"I see. Who can I talk to, I don't have any friends here. Yu Mingyi said impatiently. He's not stupid, no one will shout about this kind of thing.
"What are you going to do? This is a house given by the emperor. Governor Zhou asked thoughtfully.
"What else? Anyway, I'm going back to Beixian in two days to go to Guanxian to study, so I can live here for a few days. We took all the people we brought. ”
"Yes, this is also a way to adapt to change. I'll arrange for people to keep an eye on this. Governor Zhou nodded, and Yu Mingyi is much more mature now than before. It's not going to overwhelm him. On the contrary, Fang's family, he became more and more disdainful. As for the sons and daughters-in-law, daughters-in-law, and granddaughters and grandsons in the family. I don't know why, he can't raise his enthusiasm.
Seeing that they all had the same bitter and mean demeanor as Fang's, he felt upset. It's just a little teasing of the two grandchildren at home for a while. His son gave birth to a daughter, who was only two years old, and his daughter gave birth to a son, who was just over a year old. The child was small, and he hadn't seen it much, so he had prepared a lot of courtesies. But as soon as the son and daughter opened their mouths, as if he owed them something, the lion opened his mouth widely, and he was greatly displeased. In fact, as soon as these two children were born, he sent them a lot of things. He felt that he had never treated them badly.
In fact, he has managed well over the years, and his family's assets are also a lot, most of which are lost to the Fang family, Yu Mingyi has been married to him for more than ten years, and he only got one-twelfth of them. Before Ah Wan, what Yu Mingyi got was just an old mansion in his hometown, but the Fang family and his children were still not satisfied.
They live a luxurious life that does not match their status, but they do not know how to make progress and do not know how to operate. I only knew that I reached out to him, the head of the family, but I didn't want to think about it, in this family, almost everything was decided by the Fang family, and even the marriage of the children, he couldn't be the master, which really hurt his heart.
In particular, the son also said: "My father is really capable, and he has won the title of baron over there, but my son and I are still white." "The son is speaking openly about him, and he does not use his strength against his own sons, and does not seek their good. But this son, to be honest, now regrets that he didn't take him with him to discipline him, but put him in the Fang family to study with the Fang family's children and nephews.
As a result, I didn't have much knowledge, but I was very good at raising my heart, full of bad problems, and I had no ability at all. I've taken the exam countless times, but I'm still just a white body, and I'm embarrassed to beg the official? Don't want to think about how capable you are?
He only stayed at home for a day and a half, and no one in the family greeted him, all of them came to ask for benefits, they all looked sour, and they felt that his heart was on Yu Mingyi's side. To be honest, Yu Mingyi, a baron, really doesn't have much to do with him. His initial plan was just to fight for Yu Mingyi's reputation and get some credit for himself.
Who knows, the development of things is like a wild horse that has escaped, he just started a small head, but then it became a major event that caused a sensation in the entire Daqing Dynasty. He knew that there were forces acting through him, and he even knew that there must be several manpower stirring up the situation. But that's not something a petty official like him can know.
In fact, this result is really not what he wants, although they have received great benefits, but he has not been calm in his heart, as if something has been hanging in his heart, he knows that there will be something in the future. But now he is completely out of control, and he can't even find out. Now all he and Yu Mingyi can do is to be conscientious and conscientious, and do everything under their jurisdiction properly, so that they can be safe.
