Chapter 41: Anger
In addition, it's almost the end of the month, dear ones, these days to guard our comment area, and at the same time accumulate monthly passes, dear people who want to rummage through their pockets every day. Crowd of things
It is the wedding season around May Day. Today I am leaving for two weddings, one on the 26th and one on the 29th. Hurry up, get up early and be greedy, I wrote three more chapters and put them in the background. But counting on my fingers, it doesn't seem to be enough for me to have a successful trip. Of course, I'll bring my computer, but I'll also bring a kid with me, and if he's well-behaved, I'll probably find time to write something to keep it updated in the next two days. If he is not well-behaved, then the time will come...... You get the idea. Dear friends, after the 28th, about the update, please pay attention to the message area, and I will let the management notify whether it is updated or not and when it is updated.
------Off topic------
"When is it? And say this! Xie Chuan barely held his mind, and when he heard hurried footsteps outside, he knew that it was the two sons and two daughters who came, and immediately said, "Don't say it again, they are coming, you take them and find a way to go!" Be quick, or the Guards will come. ”
"You ......" Mrs. Min looked at the two, for the first time, making her realize that this son had tolerated them to the bottom line, she wanted to say something, but opened her mouth and didn't say it.
Xie Linxi looked at the two of them, and his eyes were deeply disappointed, "If the Xie family's long-term house wants to take the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion and replace it, I don't object, but in the same vein, you must use your real skills to carry forward the Xie family's long-standing door, instead of persecuting people with vicious methods behind your back." This is a villain's method, and it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance. Even if one day you overthrow the Marquis of Zhongyong. And how? ”
It was probably because he had never spoken to them so harshly, and when this angry words came, Xie Chuan and Mrs. Min were suddenly shocked.
"What facts? Are you saying that Dr. Sun of Tai Hospital can't diagnose the pulse, and he can't even diagnose whether he is sick or not? Are you saying that Xie Fanghua has been pretending to be sick under the emperor's nose for so many years, and the emperor can't notice it, which is really mediocre? Are you saying that the yin and yang monsters invited by the left minister are incapable and incapable, and they are tricks to fool people? Xie Linxi looked at the two of them sharply, "You know that the matter has been revealed, and the Royal Forest Army is going to besiege the Xie family's long house, so do you know that the yin and yang monster invited by Zuo Xiang said that she was blessed by the Holy Spirit, and she was originally in response to the bloody disaster for nine years, but it was God's love, and the will of heaven caught fire, so that she could be baptized, and she was cured?" After a pause, he said fiercely, "You can't even find out the news, and you still want to harm Xie Fanghua and bring down the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion?" What is not a dream! ”
"Now that the facts are in front of you, do you still need to handle it?" Mrs. Min was startled and suddenly exclaimed.
Looking at the joy on the faces of the two of them, it seemed that he had grasped the handle of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion that could not be put to death, he really couldn't help it, reached out and slapped the table violently, and was angry with them for the first time, "What are you happy about?" Have you grasped the handle of the Marquis of Zhongyong? Did you get the handle of Xie Fanghua pretending to be sick? ”
If he had a choice, he would not have chosen such parents.
There are many things to choose from in life, but parents alone can't choose them.
Everyone said that he was an outlier in the Xie family's long house, and sometimes even he suspected that he might not be their biological one. He shouldn't have parents like that. But they were his parents.
He couldn't understand how he could have such parents. How could he have been reincarnated as their child.
A deep disappointment rose in his heart, and this disappointment had surged into his heart more than once, but this time it was especially strong.
Xie Linxi looked at the two of them coldly, this is his father and mother, he only has their ambition in his heart, and how many years of persistence will drag down the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion. See only desires, but not the foundation under your feet. After a hundred years of reproduction, the Xie family's long house is not as good as the foundation of today's Zhongyong Marquis Mansion.
Mrs. Min was also immediately overjoyed, "Yes, we will go and tell the emperor now, and let the emperor ask the emperor about the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion." Bullying is a big sin! It should be asked. ”
"Xi'er, are you saying that Xie Fanghua's illness is fake? What else is she capable of? Xie Chuan stepped forward, came to Xie Linxi, grasped the point of his words, and said happily, "Xie Fanghua actually dares to deceive the emperor, and the Marquis of Zhongyong has been a monster for so many years?" If this matter spreads, then the emperor will definitely condemn the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion! ”
How can such a woman be a young lady who is raised in the deep boudoir and lingers on the sickbed?
"Sick seedlings?" Xie Linxi smiled mockingly. He remembered Xie Fanghua he had seen a few days ago in the forest on the top of Xie Yunji's Villa Mountain. Defenseless, he was poisoned. He was smart and studious since he was a child, and he didn't want to be like those people in the Xie family's long house who were only staring at pulling the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion off the horse, so he had nothing to do, and in order to divert his mind, he drilled a lot of things. boasted that although she was not harmful, she could avoid shady means, but she didn't know that she could poison him without him knowing.
"You...... You mean......" Mrs. Min couldn't digest what Xie Linxi said for a while, "What is Xie Fanghua's ability?" Isn't she just a sick seedling who stays at home? ”
Xie Linxi sighed, "Mother, don't you still understand?" Is the young lady of the Marquis of Zhongyong so easy to be killed? Can a fake monk kill her? For so many years, what is the situation of the Begonia Garden of the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion, in addition to being able to smell the smell of medicine from afar, how many roots have you found inside the Begonia Garden of the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion? When the words fell, he said, "Where can Sister Fanghua use me to send messages?" How could a fake monk get her? If she doesn't have the ability, then how can Qin Zheng, who is above the top of Prince Ying's mansion, be pestered to marry her? ”
"What about you...... Could it be that you secretly informed Xie Fanghua? Let her catch that fake monk? Mrs. Min was furious.
"I am the son of you and your father, what have you done with your father! How could I not know? Xie Linxi turned his head, a little sad.
Mrs. Min was forced to take a step back by Xie Linxi's seemingly smiling words, but in fact she was laughing at herself, and glared at her, "You...... Do you know what I did to Xie Fanghua? ”
"Kill the head?" Xie Linxi smiled even more, "Mother, you obviously know that the Xie family's long house has always been completely unfavorable at all. It's just a branch of the lineage of the Marquis of Zhongyong. It is necessary to compete with the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion, but to have ambitions to replace the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion. has always been high-minded and high-eyed, and I don't estimate how many catties I have. Even if you want to act, should you think about a way out? Do you never want to retreat before you do anything? I just thought about hurting Sister Fanghua, and I didn't think about what to do if I failed? Blind arrogance, undefeated is strange! ”
Mrs. Min choked and immediately cried, "But it's better than killing your head!" ”
Xie Linxi suddenly smiled, put away his pen, and looked at Mrs. Min's pale face calmly, "Even if I am smart, I have a way to take my brother and sister out of the capital." But I also know that there are some things that can be done and some things that cannot be done. Now in such a situation, the Imperial Forest Army is about to besiege the Xie family's long house, and not a single fly in the Xie family's long house will not want to fly out. Don't say that you can't walk anymore, even if you can walk, you can't go. Are you willing to let your children flee everywhere in the future, being wanted by the imperial court, and not daring to live with their true faces and names? ”
Mrs. Min immediately said urgently, "Aren't you the smartest?" Think of a way. You must have a way. ”
Xie Linxi waved his hand to block it, and said lightly, "Mother, the capital is blocked, where do you tell me to take people to?" Can't go? ”
"Now that you've heard that, why are you still painting? Don't hurry up and go! Mrs. Min anxiously reached for his brush.
"I heard you!" Xie Linxi retracted his gaze and continued to paint.
"Xi'er, did you hear that?" Seeing that he was just looking at her, Mrs. Min tugged his sleeve again.
Xie Linxi glanced at Mrs. Min, where was she still a dignified lady in the past, but now she looked panicked, like a frightened bird, and the whole person was shrouded in an atmosphere of fear. In the past, in front of him, as a mother, he was arrogant to him, the son who disobeyed her the most, hated iron and steel, and always scolded angrily, but today he is so begging and anxious. It's a world of difference.
But it was only for a moment, Mrs. Min stepped forward and grabbed Xie Linxi's sleeve, "Xi'er, you quickly find a way to take your brothers and sisters out of the city immediately!" ”
After the two broke in, they were stunned for a moment, panicked and out of place in this room.
Xie Linxi's room was very quiet and quiet, lit with soothing incense, and the aroma of the incense came out of the smoker, lingering throughout the room.
In the blink of an eye, Xie Chuan and Mrs. Min had already rushed into Xie Linxi's room.
Xie Linxi heard the footsteps outside and hurried over, and he didn't need to look up to see it, he knew that it was his parents. He waved his hand, and the man in black quietly retreated.
The guard stopped and stood quietly behind Xie Linxi.
Xie Linxi was painting in the middle of the house, and a black-clothed guard stood behind him to finish telling the Dharma Buddha Temple. From beginning to end, there was no expression on his face, and his pen did not pause in the slightest moment.
The two of them almost trotted all the way to Xie Linxi's residence.
"Yes!" The little guy immediately answered.
Walking to the courtyard, Xie Chuan immediately ordered a servant, "Go and call the eldest son, the third son, the eldest lady, and the second lady to the second son's residence." Just say that if there is an urgent matter, you must watch it, so that they are not allowed to delay. ”
The two of them hurried out of the room together.
Xie Chuan could only nod.
"It's time-consuming to let people shout back and forth, why don't you and I hurry over to see him!" Lady Min seemed to grasp a straw and pinned all her hopes on Xie Linxi.
"Yes!" Someone outside immediately responded and went to call Xie Linxi.
"That's right, call Lin Xi to come over!" Xie Chuan immediately shouted outside, "Someone, go and call the second son." ”
"Let Lin Xi leave with his brother and sister." Mrs. Min thought of Xie Linxi and said to Xie Chuan, "Lin Xi is smart, he has learned martial arts and literature for so many years, and he is better than his brother and brother. You and I can see it. This kid is just too stubborn, saying that we shouldn't want to be loyal and brave and not participate in our affairs, but when such a big event happens, we are a family, and we are all his closest relatives, how can he not care? There must be a way for him to leave with his siblings. ”
Xie Chuan was a little shaken.
"Now even if I do it wrong, it's useless. Let's figure it out! Mrs. Min cried, "Even if we are disposed of, we can't implicate the children." Let the kids go! Hasn't the emperor just issued an order now? There is still a period of effort for the Imperial Forest Army to come to our house, and this period of effort is enough to leave. ”
Xie Chuan was speechless.
"It's all my fault, right? Am I not for you? For the Xie family's long house to take the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion and replace it? Mrs. Min shed tears with a white face, "Our sons and daughters are all outstanding, do you want them to be ridden by the Loyal and Yong Marquis Mansion for the rest of their lives?" Like you, even if you occupy the identity of the Xie family's long house, but you are also a concubine? ”
"You obviously know that now Qin Zheng is fascinated by Xie Fanghua, and Prince Ying and Princess Ying love her son Aiwu and protect Xie Fanghua. You shouldn't have taken advantage of the fact that Princess Ying was taking her to the Dharma Buddha Temple to make a move behind her back and hurt her. Xie Chuan looked at her with hatred, "I've endured it for so many years, when is it now?" Why can't you bear it? It's not just our longhouse staring at the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion. Because of the marriage between the second son of Zheng and Xie Fanghua, the emperor has long regarded Zhongyong Marquis as a thorn in his side. ”
"What I did was already secret enough, who knew that I was caught......" Mrs. Min is also remorseful now, "It must have been caught by Prince Ying's people." ”
"I told you a long time ago, now that the shape is unknown, let you wait any longer, you won't listen. If you have to advocate and take the opportunity to harm Xie Fanghua, even if you hurt her, what if you hurt her? Isn't the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion still standing? Xie Chuan looked at her and suddenly became angry, "It's good now, how is it?" Something happened, right? ”
Mrs. Min panicked, "What then?" We can't afford to sit back and wait. Even if you and I are beheaded, it's fine, but what about the children? What about our children? ”
"Now that the city gates are closed, the emperor has ordered that no one is allowed to leave the city. Escape? Can you go? Even if you can go, where to leave? Xie Chuan's face turned pale.
Mrs. Min's body shook violently, and she grabbed Xie Chuan, "Master, hurry, let's run away!" ”
Xie Chuan stood up suddenly.
The spy said, "The emperor has given an order, and five thousand royal forest troops will besiege the Xie family's long house. ”
"What can the emperor say about it?" Xie Chuan calmed down and asked the spies.
Xie Chuan, the master of the Xie family's long house, and his wife, Mrs. Min, suddenly turned pale, and the six gods had no master. Originally, I thought that this matter could be seamless, but who would have thought that the murderer would be caught and brought to the emperor. So although the thoughts of the Xie family's Changfang to harm the loyal and brave marquis have always been obscure, it can be said to be obvious today. Then, whether it is disposed of by the emperor or by the Xie clan, I am afraid it will not be good.
When the fake monk of the Dharma Buddha Temple confessed, the spies reported the news back to the Xie family's long room.
In the capital of Southern Qin, especially the Changfang branch of the Xie family, they have always wanted to replace the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, so naturally they have secretly cultivated a lot of forces and spies.
Just when Yongkang Hou was jumping in a hurry in the study, the Xie family's long room was in a panic.
Several strategists were silent, and for so many years, people outside could clearly see and understand that the old lady and lady of the Yongkang Hou Mansion were in charge, and some things were decided privately without going through the Yongkang Hou. It's just that there has never been such a big event, so it has always been peaceful. But now this is a matter involving the assassination of Prince Ying and Princess Ying and the second son of Zheng, which is not a trivial matter, but a major matter.
After Yongkang Hou finished instructing the chief butler, he sat on the chair, "What a woman, what a woman!" ”
The chief butler of the Yongkang Hou Mansion hurriedly responded, immediately ran away from the study, and ordered someone to ride a fast horse to intercept Mrs. Yongkang Hou.
"Now, quickly, you immediately send someone to ride the fastest horse to the Xie family's long house, and take a shortcut to stop Madame for me." Yongkang Hou was anxious when he heard this. The lady who secretly scolded her has no brains since her son left, when is it, and she ran to the Xie family's long room to be involved with the Xie family's long house.
The chief manager of the Yongkang Hou Mansion also turned white when he heard this, "Madame just sent back the news, saying that she is going to the Xie family's long house, and she will not return to the house for the time being." I don't know if people have arrived in Xie's long house now! ”
Zhongyonghou's face changed, and he said angrily, "Just now the spies sent back the news that the Xie family's Changfang bought a fake monk to kill Xie Fanghua and was caught. The emperor ordered 5,000 Royal Forest troops to besiege the Xie family's long house, why did she go to the Xie family's long house? ”
"Madame seems to have gone to the Xie family's long house." The main pipeline of the Yongkang Hou Mansion.
"Since she was blocked out of the palace gate, let her come back quickly." Yongkang Hou commanded.
The chief manager of the Yongkang Hou Mansion hesitated for a moment, and told the news that he had returned, "Back to the Hou Ye, someone just came to report." The palace door was closed, and the queen made a will, and no one is seen today. Madame was barricaded out of the door. ”
"Did Madame enter the palace and return home?" Yongkang Houfu asked.
"Master Hou!" The chief manager of the Yongkang Hou Mansion has been guarding outside the study and immediately responded.
Yongkang Hou nodded when he heard this, and shouted outside, "Someone!" ”
"The subordinates are just guessing, it is better for the Hou Ye to ask Madame, if there is no such thing, Madame only uses the fire in the Fafo Temple to spread the remarks to tarnish the reputation of Miss Zhongyong Houfu, even if the queen mother takes the handle, she is not afraid. After all, now everyone in Beijing knows that because Yan Xiaohou Ye left Beijing, the Yongkang Marquis Mansion and the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion have completely exchanged evil. Because of the evil between the two governments, sometimes there are some small means of revenge, which is not a big deal. The emperor has always maintained his trust in you, Lord Hou, and has always supported the Marquis of Yongkang. Presumably, even if the emperor comes back and learns about this, he will not blame him too much. ”
Yongkang Hou's face changed slightly, "Are you saying that this matter was done by Madame on her own initiative without me knowing?" ”
"It's just speculation from the subordinates, the Dharma Buddha Temple is now on fire, and the fire spread by the wind, burning down the courtyard where the princess and princess Ying, the old lady and others lived. Someone took advantage of the fire to assassinate the princess, the second son of Zheng, and the young lady of the Marquis of Zhongyong. If it is said that a fire falls from the sky, although it is unusual, it is not impossible, after all, the weather is dry in the spring, but it was assassinated during the fire, and if such a thing happens, it is necessary to take a good look at it. Did someone set the fire? Is there anyone planning something to borrow from the fire? A strategist said.
Yongkang Hou was stunned, "What else has she done?" ”
Several strategists lowered their heads in unison, and one of them said, "Master Hou, although the rumors spread and slandered the young lady of the Marquis Mansion, this matter is nothing more than a repnomy from the emperor. After a pause, he said, "I just don't know, has Madame done something else behind her back?" ”
"You've been talking about it for a while? Did you come up with a good idea? Yongkang Hou looked at several strategists with a calm face.
Especially when he ran away from home after leaving Yanting, Yanting is the only son of the Yongkang Hou Mansion and the only root system. was forced to run away from home. Although the Yongkang Marquis Mansion blamed the responsibility on the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, behind the scenes, the subordinates also muttered to themselves, all of them forced the little Marquis to leave because the old lady and the lady were too tightly controlled. Xie Fanghua was just a reason for him to run away in frustration.
The Marquis of Yongkang is a handful older, and now the old lady in the mansion still manages him occasionally, and he has been unhappy in his heart for many years.
Several strategists glanced at each other, and they all knew that the Yongkang Hou Mansion had always been a woman's master. Since the old marquis's generation married a powerful lady, that is, the mother of the current Yongkang Hou, many things in the Yongkang Hou Mansion have been decided by women. Especially the old lady married a powerful daughter-in-law to Yongkang Hou. Since then, the Yongkang Hou Mansion has flourished and declined.
"Sure enough, you can't let women mess around!" The Marquis of Yongkang walked in the study for a while, and said a word with some annoyance.
If it is a big trouble, then the move of the Yongkang Hou Mansion can be light or serious.
Being blamed is still a trivial matter, I'm afraid this matter will make a big fuss.
The princess, the second prince of Zheng, and the young lady of the Marquis of Zhongyong encountered assassins, and this matter must be investigated thoroughly by the emperor. At that time, the Yongkang Hou Mansion must be involved and blamed.
After all, the fire at the Dharma Buddha Temple is a big deal, and now although the sky has rained heavily to extinguish the spreading fire, there are no casualties. But according to the news from the spies, Prince Ying, Princess Ying, the second son of Zheng, and Miss Fanghua were all assassinated by the dead. At this time, the Yongkang Marquis Mansion spread rumors about Xie Fanghua's filth, and the mother-in-law was captured by the queen and brought into the palace.
Several of the advisors sat together and discussed, and they also felt that this matter was extremely difficult.
Yongkang Hou was so anxious that he walked around the room.
Although the emperor is not in Beijing, the mother-in-law was arrested and put into the palace, which is the couch side of the Son of Heaven, not who said that if you can go in and ask for someone, you can ask for someone to come back.
Now that the queen has captured the dowry girl, she has seized the evidence behind the Yongkang Marquis Mansion to incite the people to slander Xie Fanghua.
Her wife did it very secretively, and she calculated the opportunity, but unfortunately, she missed the queen who was recuperating from her injuries in the palace.
However, he didn't expect that in the fire of the Fafo Temple and the panic in Beijing, the queen would take action to thoroughly investigate the matter and take people.
Yongkang Hou knew that her wife wanted to ruin Xie Fanghua's reputation, because Yan Ting ran away from home for Xie Fanghua, the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion ignored it, he looked for it a few times, and the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion shirked Yan Ting's departure completely, and he was already angry, so he did not stop it.
The discussion was nothing more than the rumors spread by the Yongkang Hou Mansion that Xie Fanghua had polluted the Holy Buddha of the Dharma Buddha Temple and was caught by the wrath of the heavens, causing a fire, and the queen made a move in the palace and sent someone to capture the wife of the Marquis of Yongkang. The mother-in-law was captured and taken to the palace, which naturally alarmed the Yongkang Marquis Mansion.
In the study room of the Yongkang Hou Mansion, the Yongkang Hou was discussing with several strategists.
Marquis Yongkang did not follow the emperor, Prince Ying, and left and right to the Dharma Buddha Temple, but stayed in the palace.
Mrs. Yongkang Hou immediately turned pale, knowing that this was the queen who took someone, so she avoided seeing her, and made up her mind to wait for the emperor and others to come back from the Fafo Temple to question the Yongkang Hou Mansion. She said good things to the palace people, but the palace people had already obtained the queen's will and did not dare to let her into the palace. Seeing that this road was impassable, she didn't dare to delay any longer, so she could only go back to the Yongkang Hou Mansion.
The palace people rejected her request, saying that the queen had made a decree and no one would be seen today.
On the same day, Mrs. Yongkang Hou came to the palace gate to meet the queen.
