And those behind it are in a bad mood.

The civil and military officials in the court are also worried that they will be the ones who will be kicked off the horse next time, so people everywhere are panicking.

Because of this, even the Mid-Autumn Festival and the birthday of the saint were not very big this year, just a hasty meal.

Baiguan has no mind, the old sage is so cool that he is not available, he has wanted to centralize power for a long time, and he has a rare opportunity at this time, so he naturally wants to go all out.

After deposing many people, we have to support our own forces, which requires talents.

At this time, the old sage felt that there was a shortage of talents, and he felt that the Hua family could not fall. He thought about it, the Hua family was first destroyed by the man in black, and then he was framed and said that he was borrowing a good hall to collect money, but he was afraid that he would have a grudge in his heart.

The sage thought about it for a while, and felt that Luo Feng was from a humble background, and he would inevitably fall into Hua Ke's style, and Luo Feng and Zhou Yuan were concubines, and the two of them were afraid that they would also be difficult in the circle of noblewomen. If the Hua family is compensated and the two ladies are compensated, it should be the most appropriate, and it is also the easiest to arouse the gratitude of the two Hanlins.

The old sage thought about it again, although Hua Tian was married, but he was married to Zhong Liche, so it was not good to say nothing, so why don't you just give some compensation together? But Hua Tian is now the county lord, and if he rises again, it is estimated that the old queen mother is not willing to do so.

After thinking about it, in the end, the old sage gave Zhou Yuan and Luo Feng the title of third-class lady, and the rank was from Hua Heng and Hua Ke. And what was given to Hua Tian was various rewards such as gold, silver, and jewelry.

As soon as these rewards came, the civil and military officials were shocked.

The old sage's grace to the Hua family is simply heavenly. Who said that the saint was going to deal with the Hua family? That's nonsense!

This kind of reward for saints. It's compensation for the Hua family's previous experience. Look at the poor Right Prime Minister and Yang Taishi, no, the latter is not a Taishi now, and the former, what will happen in the end, it is just not decided yet.

The hundred officials saw the sage's mind clearly, and knew that the Hua family was definitely a celebrity in front of the old sage, so his thoughts increased, and even some small officials who had no foundation even climbed over. Trying to hug the thighs from now on.

The Hua family has received so many rewards. Hua Heng and Hua Ke naturally understood the old sage's thoughts. There is no indication of the various thigh-hugging behaviors. Huajia Academy, there will be a steady stream of talents, why accept these people who come from Wenli now?

For Hua Heng, Hua Ke this kind of thinking. Zhou Yuan and Luo Feng are both clear. But the two have been in the capital for a long time. I also know some unspoken rules in officialdom. Therefore, he spoke out to persuade him.

Although it is said that everyone does not have to be included in the Hua family's sphere of influence, they can be selected from them. If you are really capable, why not help? There is a great crowd in the world. It's just for the sake of profit. If you can give this person enough benefits, you don't have to worry about his betrayal.

Hua Heng and Hua Ke did not accept this kind of persuasion at first, in their opinion, they came for the sake of interests, and one day, the interests of the Hua family could not keep up, and those people might betray. If there is a risk of betrayal, why accept it?

Later, Zhong Liche had a deep conversation with the two, and finally changed their minds.

Time flew by, and soon it was deep winter.

It began to snow heavily one night, and the next morning the snow was so thick that the thatched houses of poor people outside the city were even crushed by the heavy snow.

The old sage got the news early in the morning and hurriedly sent people to inspect the disaster relief around the capital. Although I knew that it would snow last night, no one expected that it would be so big, so I was not well prepared.

There were quite a few people who were sent to the capital to relieve the disaster, and there were people from all directions in the southeast, south, and northwest, and they were busy for three days before they were all settled.

Among them, the Hua family and the Xie family also issued an order to Yishantang and asked them to send people to neighboring villages and towns to relieve the disaster.

Generally speaking, Yishantang in each place has two henchmen in charge. They had long known that they were going to help the disaster, so in fact, before the order was given, Yishan Halls everywhere took action.

Yishantang opened almost all over the Great Zhou Dynasty, so all places got the help of Yishantang, and for a while, the people were all grateful to the Hua family and the Xie family.

And here in the capital, when the disaster relief came to an end, a big case occurred.

Outside the capital, a pile of dismembered corpses was found. Because of the blizzard, the weather was extremely cold, so the body parts were kept exceptionally intact. But the corpse was so dismembered that it took a long time to collect all the pieces of the corpse.

The corpse pieces had not been put back together, and by the head, it was clear who this unlucky man was.

reported to Jing Zhaoyin, and said that his son was missing, and the former Nan'an Hou Zheng Da stumbled into the mansion. When he saw the corpse's head again, he screamed and fainted.

Seeing Zheng Da's reaction, Jing Zhaoyin also understood that this corpse was Zheng Yan, the son of the former Nan'an Hou.

Ordering someone to help Zheng Da out to ask for a doctor, Jing Zhaoyin sighed and shook his head, his face full of tiredness and sympathy. Since the second half of the year, major incidents have occurred frequently, how dare the Zheng family come out and cause trouble?

Zheng Yan came out to make trouble, who in the capital doesn't know about the river painting boat? It's enough to be arrested, but Zheng Da felt sorry for his son, so he fished out the person with the relationship and money. The boss knew that the sage did not have the intention of cutting off the line of Nan'an Hou Mansion, so he received the money and released him.

But you see, how long has it been since he was released, and the former prince of Nan'an Hou had an accident, and it was still such a tragic thing.

In the future, Nan'anhou Mansion is afraid that it will decline.

Because the killing methods were extremely cruel, this matter spread all over the capital in a few days. Many people were frightened and inexplicable, and they were in full swing when they discussed with their neighbors, but when they returned home at night, they all closed the doors and windows, for fear that the perverted killer would come out and do evil.

Zheng Yan died tragically, and his parents fell ill all of a sudden. Former Nan Anhou, who saw his son's tragic situation with his own eyes, turned gray overnight.

The old sage learned that he rewarded a lot of things to the Nan'an Marquis's mansion, and gave the title of Nan'an Marquis to Nan'an again.

Poor Nan Anhou lost his beloved son in old age and regained his title, and there was no trace of joy. He got the will, and immediately changed it, and went to the palace to ask the old sage to investigate the matter thoroughly and avenge the prince of Nan'an.

Nan Anhou believes that Zheng Yan usually acts. At most, it is to steal incense and jade, and do some fragrant things, and will never offend people who should not be offended. But after the incident of displacing the river painting boat, Zheng Yan offended the Duanyi County Lord, Li Shangshu Mansion and Taishi Mansion, and this matter must be related to the three or two families.

Among them, the most suspicious is Yang Shizhong of the Taishi Mansion. The private relationship between the Duanyi County Lord and Zheng Yan was broken on the spot, Yang Shizhong and the Taishi Mansion became the laughing stock of Beijing, and Yang Shizhong even abused the child born by the Duanyi County Lord, so you can imagine how resentful he was against the Duanyi County Lord. How resentful he is against Zheng Yan!

Because Zheng Yan has shown his face in front of the old queen mother since he was a child. So when he had an accident, the old queen mother was very concerned about it, and asked the old sage to find out and punish the murderer. Give Nan'an Hou Mansion an explanation.

The former Yang Taishi got the news. In a hurry, he took Yang Shizhong into the palace. Now their family is simply in decline. If this charge falls on Yang Shizhong's head again, they don't have to mess around.

The two confronted each other and quarreled in the imperial study. Among them, Nan'an Hou's heart is like ashes. The quarrel went out, and the Yang family retreated.

Later, fortunately, the old sage mediated, saying that Jing Zhaoyin was pursuing clues and would definitely return justice to Nan'anhou Mansion.

Jing Zhaoyin quickly found out that the prince of Nan'an Hou died on the night of the heavy snowfall, because he was buried in the snow just after he died, so the body did not decompose, and there was no change, and it was lifelike.

However, even if this is found, the suspicion cannot be traced.

Yang Shizhong was in the study with his father that night, and asked the officials of the Yang faction to think about what to do next, which many people can testify. But just because Yang Shizhong is here doesn't mean that he won't send people to kill people.

Yang Shizhong also proposed that the people in the house could be interrogated to see if anyone went out in the middle of the night.

Jing Zhaoyin naturally took care of it, and he didn't want the Yang family to decline.

Hua Tian had already gotten the news, and when he heard that the prince of Nan'an had died so tragically, he was also taken aback. You know, even if she lived in that society in her last life, it is rare for her to die so miserably.

For the prince of Nan'an Hou, she also has no special hatred. She has sought justice for everything he has done, so she will not continue to hold grudges. The title was snatched, from being sought after by everyone to being trampled underfoot, Hua Tian thought that this lesson was enough.

As for Cheng Yun, it was the Guo family who did it, she was just fanning the flames, and it was nothing.

Although many days have passed, Laiyi and Fennel and other girls still frightened Yurong when they talked about Zheng Yan's tragic death.

Sandalwood's face turned pale, "A living person, I heard that the death is too pitiful...... The ears have been cut off......"

"Sandalwood, just say it, what do you do in such detail?" Laiyi's face became ugly, and her stomach churned.

Fennel herself has killed people, but her face is also pale at the moment, "It's too cruel, I don't know which one did it......"

Hua Tian only has the words "perverted killer" in her heart, and if she is asked to judge, she will also think that Yang Shizhong did it.

I'm afraid that everyone in the capital thinks so.

Therefore, this matter must not be done by Yang Shizhong. I'm afraid that the person behind it made a move.

A few maids talked about it, and the more they talked, the more frightened they became, and soon changed the topic and went outside to bask in the sun together.

Not long after, Zhong Li Che came in in with a cold air, said hello to Hua Tian first, went to change his clothes, changed into home clothes, and came out, and he sat next to Hua Tian.

Hua Tian leaned over and asked in a low voice, "How is it now?" ”

"So many things have happened one after another, and the capital has become a pot of porridge." Zhong Li Che picked up the wine jug that was still hot next to him, poured a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.

"The saint has his own plans in his heart, and I think on the surface that he has not dealt with the affairs of the past six months. Except for the Duanyi County Lord and Mrs. Qiu who were locked up in prison, and Yang Taishi was dismissed, there seemed to be nothing left. Hua Tian said lazily.

What she said naturally meant on the surface, but secretly, the old sage didn't know how many powers he had seized from several families, and how many batches of people he had installed in several families.

Zhong Liche stretched out his hand to warm his hands, and when he heard this, he hugged Hua Tian into his arms and said, "Taishi Yang is estimated to be reinstated, and when the benefits handed over are enough, the sage will make an order." ”

Hua Tian was taken aback by this, "Why is this?" ”

"Balance, now there is an imbalance in Beijing. Some people want the Yang family to be completely planted, and this time Zheng Yan died tragically, targeting the Yang family. Zhongli replied.

Hua Tian nodded, she just thought about it, and she thought of it. The old sage in the palace was much better informed than her, and he must have thought of it early in the morning.

Suddenly, she thought of something and looked at Zhong Liche, "Prime Minister Cheng was not dismissed, could it be that the benefits handed over at the beginning were enough?" ”

Zhong Liche nodded in response, "That's right, the saint doesn't know how happy he is in his heart. Prime Minister Cheng has been strong for so long, and the saint has long been on pins and needles. ”

Hua Tian felt that the housekeeper was tired, and she was even more tired of engaging in politics, but fortunately she was not a man in the court.

"Who will you kill the prince of Nan'an?" After a while, Hua Tian asked again.

Zhong Li Che shook his head, "I don't have a clue who the murderer is now. followed the little servant of Nan'an Hou Shizi and said that Nan'an Hou Shizi held back for a long time that night, and finally ran out with great difficulty. After he went out, he entered the Chu Pavilion, and he never came out. The little guy thought that he was going to spend the night inside, so he planned to go back to the house to cover up a day or two, but who knew that after returning home, the snow began to fall, so he stayed in Nan'anhou Mansion. ”

Nan Anhou and his wife were deceived by the little guy, thinking that their son had been at home all the time, so they didn't ask in detail. The little guy went to the Chu Pavilion early the next morning to look for it, but Hua Niang said that the snow hadn't fallen last night, and the prince of Nan'an Hou left. The little guy was a little panicked, he searched around but didn't see it, and saw that Xue Hou had crushed people to death, thinking that most of the Hou Shizi of Nan'an was gone, so he ran away without saying a word. ”

Hua Tian shook his head, how careless is this Nan Anhou giving his son's little servant. After the accident, he actually ran away.

"When did Nan Anhou go to Jing Zhaoyin to report the case and say that Nan Anhou Shizi was missing?" After thinking about it, Hua Tian asked again.

The little guy escaped, and no one was in the house that night, and Nan Anhou and his wife found out. The snow was falling heavily, and they were afraid that something would happen, so they reported the crime while looking for someone. Later, the little girl was found, but the prince of Nan'an Hou was never seen. Got the news again, the people have gone to ......"

Zhong Liche shook his head after speaking, "This Nan Anhou couple is too careless, how can they put such a little guy next to their son?" "And since he was a child, he doted on the Hou Shizi of Nan'an, and he didn't raise him well, and he didn't let him practice kung fu. If you practice and resist, you can also attract people, and you may be able to find a life.

Hua Tian played with Zhong Liche's fingers, "The people behind him want to completely defeat Taishi Yang, what are they going to do?" ”

Zhong Liche lowered his head, rubbed Hua Tian's head, and said in a low voice, "Taishi Yang is the prince's faction, maybe someone wants to do it......"

Hua Tian was shocked in his heart, raised his head and looked at Zhong Liche, if this is the case, why is this person not in a hurry at all?

The old sage is old, maybe he will go that day, but he will not go, if he has no one in his hands, the careerist will be able to act immediately. And the people in the hands of the prince have been broken up so badly, without the old saint, there is no power to fight. (To be continued......)
