Chapter 83: Resentment

As soon as Zhong Su returned to the Hou Mansion, the Tan family greeted him first. When he saw Zhong Su, his eyes were red, and he said repeatedly: "It's okay if you're okay, it's okay if you're okay......"

Zhong Su held Tan's support, lowered his voice, and said, "Mother, I'm fine, I'm sorry for you." ”

"Silly boy, they've lost weight." Tan touched Zhong Su's face, then looked at Ran Ning, who came back with Zhong Su, held her hand, and said, "Good boy, this time also made you pay a lot of trouble." ”

Ran Ning smiled and said, "Mother said this, but it was still the strength of the master and the uncle, I just followed them." ”

"You kid......" Tan sighed, from the time Bizhu came back to pretend to be Ran Ning, Tan knew that Ran Ning had her own plan, "Okay, I'll let people boil chicken soup, you two quickly drink it back to the room and sleep well, and the rest will be talked about when you wake up." ”

"Yes." The two of them answered, and then went to greet their grandfather and father.

Seeing the two of them, Zhenbei Hou let out a long sigh, patted Zhong Su's shoulder, and said, "It's good to come back." I already know the matter, before you come back, Lord Xu just left. I will handle Zhong Jin's affairs with your father, don't come forward, so as not to fall into the hands of others. The good student rests in the house, and continues to report illness in the court. ”

"Yes." Zhong Su replied respectfully. Grandfather let him continue to complain, but he was also dissatisfied with the emperor.

"It was my poor godson who made Su'er suffer an injustice. I will not tolerate that evil obstacle, no matter whether it is national law or family rules, I will not gently uncover it. As the eldest son, I don't ask him to make contributions, but I never expected that he would harm the entire Hou Mansion. The anger in General Zhong's eyes was hard to dissipate, and he said to the Marquis of Zhenbei: "Father, let's listen to Lord Xu's fate in this matter, if you want to kill or scrape, it is the evil obstacle that should bear it." ”

Zhenbei Hou nodded, although Zhong Jin is also his grandson, but this kind of framing that caused the entire Zhenbei Hou Mansion to be in a situation of life and death, it is difficult for him, a grandfather, to forgive.

Back in the room, Ran Ning and Zhong Su drank the chicken soup that Tan had stewed and went to bed to rest.

When the officers and soldiers evacuated, Bizhu already knew that there would be no trouble, and he was greatly relieved. When Ran Ning was drinking soup, he told the situation in the house in detail in the past few days, and did not retreat until the two of them wanted to rest.

Lying on the bed, both of them were sleepy, but in good spirits.

"I'm thinking about something." Ran Ning said.

"What?" Zhong Su hugged Ran Ning and asked in a low voice.

"Your letter was imitated by Jia Yi, but what about King Ning's letter?" Ran Ning had a lot of doubts in her heart, "Jia Yi didn't mention imitating King Ning's handwriting, whether it was on the letter, or the paper that imitated the handwriting he left, there was no King Ning's handwriting." Can this be said that King Ning's belief is true? ”

Zhong Su frowned, all the evidence and the books of the Criminal Department were shown to him, and there were indeed two letters from King Ning in them, and it was because of those two letters that he was more sure that he had colluded with Xiya.

"If it's not a copy, then those two letters should be true. King Ning's seal should be more difficult to obtain. Zhong Su felt that there was only one possibility.

"If it is really written by King Ning himself, then the one who colludes with King Ning should be the eldest prince." Otherwise, how could it be possible to get a letter with the seal of King Ning?

"Well, I'll pay more attention to the eldest prince's side." Zhong Su said. They don't have clear evidence, but if they do, there will always be evidence. This time, the eldest prince did not knock him down, so he had to be ready to be knocked down.

"If it is true that the eldest prince and King Ning colluded, then it should be the eldest prince who poisoned you in the first place." The speculation of the people in the palace sometimes made Ran Ning a little breathtaking.

"He does have a chance." Whether it is the eldest prince or the eldest prince's mother, Concubine Jiang, they all have this opportunity to drug him in wine.

Ran Ning sighed slightly, "We still have no evidence now, you have to be more careful in the future." ”

"I know, don't worry." With a goal, it is naturally easier to prevent it, and it is better than to have no clue about it.

"Hmm." Ran Ning found a comfortable position in his arms and whispered, "Sleep." ”

"Okay." Zhong Su hugged Ran Ning tightly, the two closed their eyes together, and fell asleep after a while.

When Zhong Su woke up, Ran Ning was still sleeping. Zhong Su didn't bother her, and after washing up briefly, he changed his clothes and went out. He went to Zunchen first and thanked Zunchen and Shen Feng. Shen Feng didn't want him to thank him, and when Zunchen saw that he was fine, he was also relieved, and said that he still had to take care of his body in the future, and he should not be sloppy.

Coming out of Zunchen, Zhong Su went to the prison of the Yamen, and the cell boss knew him and knew what was going on, so he didn't stop him, and after receiving the wine money given to him, he went to his own place.

The prison here is much more chaotic than the penal department, with three or four people in almost every cell, and the smell is really bad. Most of the prisoners here are prisoners who don't know martial arts, and basically they won't cause any serious trouble.

Zhong Su came to Zhong Jin's cell according to the road pointed by the cell leader, which is also rare, Zhong Jin is actually held alone, which can be regarded as special treatment.

At this time, Zhong Jin was sitting in the corner, dressed as a subordinate, unable to see his face clearly, and he didn't know what he was thinking......

Zhong Su didn't call him, just stood outside the cell.

I don't know how long it took, Zhong Jin seemed to notice someone, so he slowly turned his head, and after seeing Zhong Su, he showed a smile that was expected, but with a very resentful smile, and said, "I knew you would come." ”

After the initial panic, he had come to his senses. He was still waiting, waiting for the eldest prince to come and save him, waiting for the moment when he was released......

"The hearts of the people are insufficient, and the extravagance is too great. You brought this fate upon yourself. Zhong Su said coldly.

Zhong Jin chuckled, "Arrogant and inhumane, how much better can you be than me?" ”

"I don't rob things that shouldn't be my own." For Zhong Su, even if he wants to, he must weigh it before deciding whether to make a move or not.

"Hehe......" Zhong Jin stood up, his clothes were stained with some dust, his hair was quite neat, and he approached Zhong Su with a stagger, and said, "What doesn't belong to me?" What doesn't belong to me? In my opinion, every qiē in Zhenbei Houfu should belong to me! ”

Zhong Su didn't speak, just looked at him silently, there was no too complicated love in his eyes, he just wanted to know something, as for what Zhong Jin thought in his heart, it didn't matter to him at all.

Seeing his indifferent look, Zhong Jin was very dissatisfied, and said loudly: "I am the eldest grandson of the Marquis of Zhenbei, and I obviously have the right to inherit the throne, but why don't I ask, my grandfather is going to pass the throne to you?" Yes, you are a son-in-law, but you are also a devil who kills people without blinking, why should you be the Marquis of Zhenbei?! It's just me, it's just me! ”

Zhong Jin gritted his teeth and continued: "You can just become an official because you can fight, and I am immersed in hard study all day long, and I am talented, but because no one appreciates me and I failed the exam, I can't become an official." But as long as I am given a little more time, I will definitely come back with a top score, but my grandfather said that if I fail the exam, I will donate a petty official to me, why? Just a petty official, how can you be worthy of me?! ”

"Do you think you can be the Marquis of Zhenbei like this?" Zhong Su felt that Zhong Jin had read books for so many years, and he had not learned humility and ethics, but had learned to be arrogant.

"Of course!" Zhong Jin stared at him and said, "Without you, the Hou Mansion will naturally be inherited by me, and I will naturally be the next Marquis of Zhenbei!" My talent will never be buried again! ”

Zhong Su felt that mercy was superfluous to Zhong Jin, Zhong Jin was simply stupid, "You designed to frame me for collaborating with the enemy and treason, once the crime is confirmed, it will be the crime of the Nine Clans." Don't talk about you, even my grandfather will be affected by me. ”

"Grandfather has won the emperor's trust, and he will definitely be fine." Zhong Jin said firmly.

Zhong Su only had mockery left in his heart, "You really don't know anything." ”

"I know everything!" Zhong Jin hated Zhong Su's attitude, which made him feel like a clown.

Zhong Su glanced at him and said, "If you knew, you wouldn't have run to my study and stamped the seal on my desk on that counterfeit letter." If your faith can be imitated, why can't my seal? ”

Zhong Jin was a little dumbfounded and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"How stupid do I have to be to get my seal away? A few days before you stole the seal, I deliberately asked Xiao Wu to reveal that I would casually throw the seal on the table in the study when I was in the house, which was actually a set for you. My seal is carved with extremely rare black jade, and the one you see on the table is just an imitation of me with a stone, and I also deliberately carved a corner, so the seal stamped by these two seals, as long as you carefully screen, it is not difficult to find the difference. I communicate with people, I don't need to be sealed, do you think others will believe? Zhong Su felt that it was a waste of his time to say more, "That day, Ran Ning invited Zuo Shangle to come, and there was no one left in the courtyard to serve, first, to give you a chance to enter the study; The second is to make you believe that the female guest is coming, and I have a reason to avoid it; The third is to let Zuo Shangle be a witness, you did sneak into my study. Otherwise, do you think that the study is heavy, and you can enter it if you say it? ”

"Impossible...... That's impossible! Zhong Jin felt that he was going crazy, he didn't expect that the heaven-given opportunity he thought was just a trap prepared by Zhong Su.

Zhong Su didn't care if he was crazy or not, and continued: "For the eldest prince, you are already an outcast. From beginning to end of this matter, only you yourself have been identified, and you have no evidence at all if you want to identify the eldest prince, and he has not appeared in front of anyone. In the final analysis, it is still you who are not careful, if it weren't for Ran Ning accidentally meeting you and having dealings with the eldest prince, I'm afraid I will not be able to prevent you from doing this. ”

"Ran Ning?" Zhong Jin never expected that his initial failure had already been caused.

"In short, what you do yourself, you will bear the consequences yourself, and listen to Lord Xu's judgment." After saying that, Zhong Su turned around and left. Looking at Zhong Jin's appearance, he must have been played with by the eldest prince, he didn't know anything, and he couldn't ask anything useful. If you have this time to spend with Zhong Jin here, it is better to go back to accompany Ran Ning.

Zhong Jin sat on the ground dejectedly, he just wanted to be a marquis, he wanted to be looked up to, and he wanted to get rid of the inferior situation of his concubine, why did he end up with all his strengths, or nothing?

In fact, since he can remember, Zhong Jin has hated his identity as a concubine, feeling that his father doesn't love him, his grandfather and grandmother don't pay attention to him, the Tan family doesn't care about him, and his mother complains all day long...... These made him feel that he had to impress the people of the Hou Mansion and sit in the position of Zhenbei Hou in order to get rid of this nightmare of inferiority complex and live the life he originally deserved. But God was like a joke with him, Zhong Su was better than him in everything, so that even if he was unwilling, he couldn't show it too much, because he knew that the more he came out, the more people would be defensive.

He grew up day by day in such a state of mind, and although he seemed to be indisputable with the world, he could not let go of the idea of inheriting the throne for a day in his heart. About half a year ago, the eldest prince found him and said that he felt that he was more suitable to be the Marquis of Zhenbei. At that moment, Zhong Jin felt as if he had found a soulmate. So they began to plot to frame Zhong Su. It's just that he didn't think about it, his dream of being a marquis, but in the end he became a prisoner.

He hates the injustice of God, hates Zhong Su for not dying, hates all the obstacles that make him unable to become the Marquis of Zhenbei, if this hatred can turn into anger, then the first to be burned must be the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhenbei.

Li didn't see Zhong Jin's shadow until night, and he was a little uneasy. Quarrels are quarrels, but it's almost bedtime and Zhong Jin hasn't seen anyone yet, this seems to be the first time. She couldn't go out of the yard, so she had to ask the maid to ask the housekeeper.

Zhong Jin's housekeeper also knew, but he didn't know if the mansion wanted to tell the young lady, so he brought the maid to the Tan family. It just so happened that General Zhong was also there. As soon as Tan and General Zhong combined, they also knew that there was no need to hide this matter, so Tan went to Li and informed her of the matter.

When Li heard this, he was immediately frightened and had unbearable abdominal pain. The Tan family hurriedly asked people to ask for a doctor, and the Hou Mansion was in chaos in an instant......
