81. The Zhou family

Imperial Doctor Zhu is inconspicuous in the Tai Hospital, but his medical skills are extremely high, even the emperor trusts him very much in private, because he never talks nonsense outside, and no one knows that he is good at chess. Lord Zhou invited him, the emperor was playing chess with him, just finished a game, I heard that Lord Zhou invited him to the Baron's Mansion, and he actually smiled: "Imperial Doctor Zhu, you said that Mr. Yu is pregnant again." I look at Mr. Zhou and Mr. Yu, but the plaice is very affectionate. ”

"How did the emperor know?" Imperial Physician Zhu also quipped.

"One day, I saw Master Zhou secretly unbuttoning his collar and eating, I was in a hurry, he didn't have time to tidy up his collar, and I saw a few tooth marks on his neck. I didn't expect Mr. Yu's teeth to be so good. The emperor said that he had kept this gossip in his heart, and he had long wanted to find someone to talk about it, and today he finally found an opportunity.

Imperial Doctor Zhu was taken aback, and said without changing his face: "Your Majesty, how do you know that Mr. Yu bit it, there are many beauties in Lord Zhou's mansion." ”

"Hehe, those beauties, with Lord Zhou's caution, will he get involved? And he has people like Mr. Yu in his arms, where can he still look down on those vulgar fans. ”

"Mr. Yu's demeanor is indeed unique, Your Majesty, are you still down?" Imperial Physician Zhu said with a smile. He knows the relationship between Zhou Yu and Yu better than the emperor, and he knows that Lord Zhou doesn't like Fang's family, and Lord Zhou himself may not know, but as a doctor, he understands very well that Lord Zhou likes Xianggong and doesn't like women. However, the person who gave the beauty to Lord Zhou also knew Mr. Yu's name, so he didn't dare to send it to him.

"No, you better go to the Baron's Mansion to take a look, if Mr. Yu is really pregnant, then you have to find someone to keep an eye on the affairs of Anning Mansion." The emperor said, ready to return to the palace.

Imperial Physician Zhu sent the emperor away, rushed to the Baron's Mansion, and when he saw Young Master Zhou, he realized that he had nothing to do with Mr. Yu at all, and he was really relieved. If Mr. Yu wants to conceive a body, he has to make some achievements in Anning Mansion School in at least two more years. The emperor has great hopes for him. This place in Anning Mansion has always been a thorn in the throat of the emperor of the current dynasty, and he can't take it out and swallow it. You can't be too those people here, but you don't want to let them do whatever they want.

Now they have finally found a way to change them, and they can only succeed and not succeed. There are a lot of meritorious nobles in Anning Mansion here, and they were originally allowed to retire here and guard the royal mausoleum by the way, but I don't know when Anning Mansion actually slowly got rid of the emperor's support and control, and all of them were like the emperor of the soil, controlling the local economy and politics.

In recent decades, Ruoda's Anning Mansion has not played any role in the Daqing Dynasty at all. A large amount of taxes are held in the hands of some powerful figures here, not to mention, they often have to reach out to the court to ask for silver, guarding the imperial tomb, but they need a lot of manpower and financial resources, they always have various names to ask for silver, and the emperor can't completely refuse to give it, and he can't let the cemeteries of several generations of emperors be wasted.

Therefore, Yu Mingyi is a weapon sent by the emperor to clean up Anqing Mansion, and it is still a weapon that is not bloody. Imperial Physician Zhu was originally a person cultivated by the emperor when he was a prince, and he had a relationship with Lord Zhou very early. Imperial Physician Zhu and Lord Zhou have a very good personal relationship, since he understands what the emperor means, of course, he also hopes that Yu Mingyi can satisfy the emperor, otherwise the consequences dare not imagine, so he soon arrived at the Baron's Mansion.

This look frightened Master Zhou and Yu Mingyi, it turned out that Young Master Zhou looked very normal, and even in good spirits, but in fact, he didn't live well for long. He was drugged, a very simple means of seeking children for women in the house, this medicine can make a man rise in a short period of time, and it is easy for a woman to conceive, but it is also a kind of tiger and wolf medicine that overdraws a man's life. Most of them are the kind of people who are dying, and they take advantage of the last time to leave their offspring.

"Imperial Physician Zhu, is there really no room for this?" Lord Zhou asked through gritted teeth.

"There's really no way, or Lord Zhou will find someone else to take a look. This kind of selfish method is not uncommon, and even this medicine is very easy to obtain, but the consequences are quite terrible. Imperial Physician Zhu sighed. This old guy has a very good relationship with Lord Zhou, so he will bluntly sue him.

Dr. Li is a fellow disciple of Imperial Physician Zhu, but almost no one knows about it. But Dr. Li is out of Beijing now, and I don't know where to play.

Although Geng Qiu made an appointment with him, he must return to the General's Mansion again. But he's only been gone for two months, so where can he find it? Besides, Imperial Physician Zhu said that there is no way, and Dr. Li may not have a way.

Lord Zhou was so tired that he couldn't say a word for a long time. Yu Mingyi didn't know that there would be such a result, so she had to send Imperial Doctor Zhu out first, and then returned to persuade: "Let Ah Qiu send a message to Dr. Li." Maybe Dr. Li has a way. ”

"It's useless. Dr. Zhu's skills are no worse than Dr. Li's. Besides, Imperial Physician Zhu is used to seeing such selfishness, and he can't do anything, Dr. Li has always been just a cure, and he doesn't know this. I only hate Fang's stupid woman, under my nose, I didn't even find out that my son was killed by Xiao Fang's family. ”

"Don't be too anxious, maybe there's a way, take your time." Yu Mingyi herself felt powerless to say this, but she had to say it.

"No, I'll have to go back and take a look, and you can leave this one alone." Zhou said.

After Imperial Physician Zhu went back, he thought about it, and went to the emperor to report the matter without any concealment.

When the emperor heard about it, he was taken aback and said in disbelief: "Lord Zhou's mansion is really chaotic." You said that Lord Zhou is such a shrewd person, how can he make a Zhou Mansion like this. No wonder he refused to go back to the Zhou Mansion, the Fang family didn't have a good thing, if he hadn't interceded, he would have been killed a long time ago. "The emperor has always had a bad impression of the other party's family.

At that time, the Fang family was ordered to be ordered, and it was completely a ghost made by the first prince, how many ghosts were caused by the Fang family and the people of the first prince's family at that time, if it weren't for the fact that they were really not the henchmen of the first prince, let alone in front of Lord Zhou, there were ten Lord Zhou who didn't have such a big face, and they would have been beheaded by the family raider.

"Alas, Lord Zhou is also unlucky. Fang's grandfather is actually good, but he didn't raise a good son or grandchild, this is not as good as the generation. But isn't he afraid of being discovered with such a ruthless method? Imperial Doctor Zhu said.

In fact, back then, Old Lady Fang used some trickery to get Master Zhou into it. He has a vision, hoping to borrow a helping hand for the Fang family. It's a pity that the son didn't have the skills, he didn't even do it, he didn't even teach his grandson well, and the eldest granddaughter of the Fang family didn't be able to capture the heart of Lord Zhou. At that time, Lord Zhou didn't want to marry this family at the beginning, but Mrs. Fang was very good to him, he was young and had no foundation, and if he wanted to gain a foothold in the court, he had to rely on the strength of his wife's family.

As everyone knows, the Fang family was not happy, and privately complained that the old lady promised her to a poor rural scholar with no foundation, and all the ladies who were about the same status as her were married to people of equal status, even high-ranking families, at that time, she was also considered a low marriage. But the old lady set the family matter, not to mention that she wanted to oppose it, even her parents couldn't have children, the whole family relied on the support of the old lady, the old lady didn't last a few years after all, and the Fang family and Lord Zhou passed away in the second year of marriage. The son of the old lady, Fang's father was originally an idle job with a low rank, and after keeping filial piety, there was no way to even recover, but it was Lord Zhou who worked around a lot to find an idle job.

Old lady Fang has been shrewd all his life, but he has not many heirs, Fang's father is his concubine, and he is more than ten years younger than the eldest son, the eldest son who has become a weapon, but he died in his twenties, and he didn't even stay. This concubine was originally young, and because he was a concubine, he was not as carefully educated as his concubine, but after the death of his eldest son, Mrs. Fang could only teach this younger son again, but it was too late, and the most important thing was that the wife he married was also a very ordinary person. The two of them don't have much ability, and the old lady is old and not in good health, so he can't take care of raising his grandchildren. Although the old lady did his best to pave the way for them, he couldn't calculate that he would end up where he is now.

After listening to Imperial Physician Zhu's explanation, the emperor sighed and said, "I see. ”

"Fang's person, he thinks he is smart, how ugly the matter of Baron Yu was that year, I am afraid that at that time, Lord Zhou and Fang's family will have no husband and wife relationship. Not to mention, she actually ignored Lord Zhou's opposition, and insisted on setting up a family affair for her two children that Lord Zhou repeatedly opposed. It's only come to this point. After speaking, Imperial Physician Zhu shook his head. When encountering a stubborn and incompetent woman like Shang, who still thinks she is smart, Lord Zhou can be regarded as having fallen for eight lifetimes.

Not to mention the sighs of the emperor and Imperial Physician Zhu, Lord Zhou returned to Zhou's mansion angrily and went straight to the Mei Courtyard where the Fang family lived. Although the Fang family was scolded by the current queen, when she was still the crown princess, she had been avoiding the inner courtyard and not going out, saying that she was reflecting at home, but the entire Zhou Mansion was actually controlled by her. If something so big happens, you have to find her first.

Fang's personal mother, seeing Lord Zhou's appearance, didn't have time to kneel down and salute, when she heard Lord Zhou shouting: "Stay outside, don't come in alone." ”

"Yo, Lord Zhou, this is the majesty of the family." Fang's yin and yang said angrily, holding a cup of tea in his hand, whether it would burn people or not, he threw it directly at Lord Zhou's face. As soon as she thought of Yu Mingyi's infinite scenery, but she had to stay in the inner courtyard and couldn't even get out of the door, she wanted to kill Lord Zhou and Yu Mingyi.

She never reflected on what she had done wrong. Maybe she didn't realize that she was wrong at all, maybe she knew but didn't dare to admit it, in short, she put all the qiē on Lord Zhou and Yu Mingyi, scolded Lord Zhou for being ungrateful, wolf-hearted, and cursed Yu Mingyi for being a shameless fox, seducing Lord Zhou and losing his mind.

Lord Zhou stepped forward quickly, slapped her hard, and beat Fang Shi for a long time, and when she spit out a mouthful of blood, just about to spill, Lord Zhou stepped forward in a sinister manner, pinched her neck, and shouted in a low voice: "In addition to making trouble with me, you don't have any skills, Qing'er was plotted by your good nephew under your nose." Did you know or not? ”

"What plot?" Fang was puzzled.

"Hmph, Qing'er was given a child-begging drug, how many days do you think he can live?"

"Child-seeking medicine? You said to ask for child medicine, Qing'er let people ask for child medicine? Fang's eyes widened and he exclaimed in disbelief.

"Hmph, go and ask your good daughter-in-law where she got the medicine." Lord Zhou sat down and gasped fiercely. I can't wait to kill the woman in front of me. He is extremely angry now, even if he kills the entire Fang family, he can't relieve the regret and hatred in his heart.

Fang Shi shook his hands, didn't care about wiping the blood from the corners of his mouth, and shouted fiercely: "Mother Zhang, go and call the young grandmother over." ”

Mother Zhang got the order, and just wanted to go down, Lord Zhou shouted: "Slow down, let people watch the door tightly, don't let the people of the Fang family leave, not a single one." Mother Zhang looked at Fang strangely, a little incomprehensible.

Lord Zhou shouted again: "I understand no, if there is one person missing, I will fill your life with your family." In addition, call Butler Xiao Zhou over. ”

Zhang's mother had weak legs and didn't dare to speak, so she immediately went to do something.

Lord Zhou came in too much of a hurry, and actually forgot to control the Fang family. But he also brought two people with him, both of whom were his best hands. Butler Xiao Zhou came quickly, at the gate of the Mei Courtyard, Lord Zhou whispered a few words to him, and Steward Xiao Zhou left immediately.

Xiao Fang's family didn't come alone, they came with her mother, Mrs. Fang, and their two daughters, and they didn't usually see Lord Zhou, but when they heard that Lord Zhou was back, they immediately came to the door. Where can Zhang's mother stop it, so she has to order someone to guard the gate of the courtyard with a bitter face.

"Ouch, what's going on?" When Mrs. Fang saw that half of Fang's face was red and swollen, and her hair was scattered, she immediately exclaimed. Lord Zhou has always been kind, and he has never done anything to the other party, and he has never even scolded him. The other party's family is also polite. Xiao Fang took a step back, a little scared in his heart. She knew something had to happen. As for why, she still doesn't know.

Zhang's mother closed the door and took the two children away at the signal of Lord Zhou.

There were only four people left in the house: Fang's family, Xiao Fang's family, Mrs. Fang, and Lord Zhou. As soon as Mrs. Fang's words fell, she saw Fang Clan pounce on her like crazy, and the hairpin in her hand stabbed Xiao Fang's body again and again.

Mrs. Fang shouted, went up and pulled, but was also stabbed a few times by Fang's family, Lord Zhou looked at it coldly, and didn't make a sound, until Fang's was tired, and Xiao Fang's and Mrs. Fang's were half dead, and then they spoke: "When did you give Qing'er the medicine, where did that medicine come from?" ”

The half-dead little Fang raised his head, but he didn't say a word, Mrs. Fang was originally howling, but when she heard this, she looked left and right, and didn't dare to make a noise. This matter was originally designed by Mrs. Fang and her husband, originally they wanted to give their little daughter to Young Master Zhou as a concubine, if they gave birth to a son, it would also be a hope and dependence, but Xiao Fang's family didn't agree, she would rather Young Master Zhou take a concubine from the outside, rather than her own sister as her husband's concubine, not to mention that the sister didn't agree. This road doesn't work, the Fang family wants to fight Young Master Zhou's daughter's idea, and wants to let his granddaughter marry back to the Fang family, but don't say that Lord Zhou will not agree, even the Fang family and Young Master Zhou will not agree, and Miss Zhou is only twelve or thirteen years old, and it is still too early to get married.

Mrs. Fang's family thought about it and couldn't come up with a good way, and later a mother-in-law of their family sacrificed a poisonous plan, wanting her own people to give birth to a son for Young Master Zhou, hold it in your hands, and the status of the Xiao Fang family will be preserved in the future, even if you give birth to another daughter, the Zhou family has no son, either recruit a son-in-law, or marry with a thick dowry. According to the temperament of Lord Zhou and the Fang family, they must recruit a son-in-law for their daughter, and they can't wait for Ah Wancheng to become their own son and then inherit the Zhou family. Ah Wan is only ** years old.

The best candidate for this door-to-door son-in-law is, of course, the nephew of the Fang family. Then, not only will the Zhou family's property be returned to the Fang family, but Lord Zhou will also work hard to pull out the Fang family. They had a good idea, but they didn't think about what to do after the accident. Of course, they weren't so stupid and had a scapegoat in the early stages. It is a concubine that Young Master Zhou is currently spoiling, of course, she only knows that Young Master Zhou takes this medicine, and she will conceive a child very quickly. It's still a tonic.

Of course, this medicine was found by the mother-in-law.

After Lord Zhou got the news, he immediately sent someone to bring the mother-in-law and the concubine over, and the mother-in-law knew that the matter was exposed, so she actually ate arsenic herself. As for the little concubine, Lord Zhou immediately asked the doctor to check the pulse, she was not pregnant at all, he did not give up and pulled out all the women in the courtyard for a diagnosis, and no one was pregnant.

Faced with such a result, Lord Zhou's heart was like ashes.
