Chapter Ninety-Four: Confession

Zhao Wei ran over with the Zhang family, just to catch the thief and take the stolen goods, and then asked Zhao Jing and the eighth old lady to be a witness, so that the clan could discuss in advance and drive the little long house out of the family. Unexpectedly, things changed like this, Lu Dashou actually attacked his parents and escaped. Zhao Wei looked at the scene and was a little at a loss.

It was Zhang who took the first step to regain her composure, and when she saw the miserable appearance of Lu Changxiu in the house, as well as Lu's mother's painful appearance, she didn't care about asking about the crime or anything, and immediately ordered someone to ask for a doctor.

The doctor arrived quickly, and he first showed Lu Changxiu the injury, by which time the latter had already finished convulsing and was completely unconscious. However, he has not lost his breath, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune. The doctor judged that he was pushed away by his eldest son, and when he hit the shelf, he grabbed the shelf in order to stabilize his body, but he didn't expect to fall down with the shelf, and all the things on the shelf fell down, and the ironwood box on the top floor was no exception. The box was heavy, and the sharp corners hit Lu Changxiu's head, causing him to be seriously injured. However, a head injury is not trivial, even if the person is not dead, it is difficult to guarantee whether he will wake up again, or whether there will be sequelae after waking up, and it will take a few days to determine.

Lu's mother didn't have much of a problem, but she hit it badly, and she would be fine after a little recuperation for two days.

Lu Changxiu was carefully moved into the inner bedroom, and Lu's mother stayed behind to take care of him. Suddenly suffering one blow after another, her eyes were red from crying, and now there are almost no tears, and she is not in the mood to understand the fate of her eldest son. Regardless of whether the husband's injury was intentional or accidental, the eldest son dared to do such a cruel hand to his biological father, how is it different from a beast? The old lady is looking at the master-servant relationship with her for many years. She has repeatedly treated her eldest son lightly, but now it has reached the point where she can't do it without punishment, and she doesn't want to cause trouble for her master anymore. only dropped the sentence "It's all up to the old lady to decide", and without looking at Lu Dashou, he entered the inner room.

Zhao Wei woke up from the surprise, his face was slightly red, he felt that he was too uncalm, how could he panic because things suddenly changed? He hurriedly pointed out the topic, under the witness of Zhao Jing and the eighth old lady. asked Bilian to take the packet of medicinal powder off the beam of the room and hand it to Wang Siping for judgment to confirm that it was poison "poured in seven days". asked Xiaoman about Lu Dashou's escape from his father, so he asked his sister and brother to stay and take care of his father, and he took a group of elders to escort Lu Dashou back to the main courtyard.

Zhao Xiu also got the news. Rushed over. She sent other girls to comfort Bilian in advance. He also instructed his subordinates to ask for medical treatment for Lu Changxiu, and not to be negligent, when things came to this point, they acted more generously, but they appeared to be magnificent, and the most important thing was to firmly grasp the loyalty of Lu Ma, Bilian and Xiaoman.

Lu Dashou already knew that he couldn't escape at this time. He was relieved to hear that his father was not dead, but he did not ask how serious his injuries were. He couldn't say it himself. Why did he push his father away on impulse, after seeing the tragic condition of his father's injury. Instead of informing his mother and siblings, he ran away. But it's too late, and all he can do now is to atone for his sins as much as possible and confess everything he knows, so that he can hope to get the master's forgiveness. He didn't expect to be lightly punished again, he just tried his best to save his life.

It turned out that since the title of Xiaochangfang was revoked, Zhao Jiong died, Jiang was imprisoned, Zhao Jue went to Jinzhou to be a sesame mung bean official, and Niu moved out of Jiannanhou Mansion with his family and moved to a house lent by his mother's family, Xiaochangfang's life has not been very good. Most of the property of the Hou Mansion was not brought out, and what she could save in her hands, in addition to her own dowry, the Jiang family's dowry, and the private rooms of her husband and son, there were only 20 or so servants left. Later, she successively dismissed some of her subordinates, saved expenses, and because the Jiang family did not want her daughter to be divorced, she made a deal with the Niu family, funded some money and industry, and the Niu family helped her, she also had 20,000 or 30,000 taels of silver in her hands, and there were several thousand yuan of income every year, mainly relying on the more than 9,000 acres of land distributed by the family, as well as a few shops that were classified as private houses. Compared with the time when he was in the Hou Mansion in the past, this amount of money is of course nothing, but compared with ordinary people, it can be called rich. As long as it is a good business, the population of the small long house is not large, and there is no need to worry about living a bad life.

But the Niu family has been the wife of Jiannan Hou for more than half a year, and she is used to living a rich life, how can she be willing to lose the dignity of the Houmen Mansion? She has been thinking about getting the title back, and for the sake of her son's future, she usually gives gifts to people. In less than a year, more than half of the money was spent, and if it continues like this, I am afraid it will not be able to hold on. But she wanted to tie up with the Ying Palace, and wanted to give gifts to the princess and princess, but she couldn't come up with spare money for a while, so she had to buy a decent enough gift, so she had to hit the idea on the head of the second room.

The Zhang family returned to his hometown with the small second room, but the house in Beijing has been retained, and many of the furniture and other things she got when she was divided, as well as the gifts she received from the old county prince over the years, most of them were left in the house, and there were many treasures. The old county lord was very generous to this young stepfamily. The Niu family wanted to buy Lu Dashou, who was looking at the house, and wanted to get a few good things from the small second room, anyway, the Zhang family was not in Beijing, and when she found that the things were missing, maybe it would be a few years later.

Lu Dashou was young at that time, looking at the house in Beijing alone, without his parents around to teach, he was tempted to leave his nationality and not be an official slave, and he was taken by the people sent by the Niu family to go to the land of those drunken fireworks seven or eight times, and then he loosened up and personally got the kang screen out. However, he only took such a thing, and he happened to bump into the freshly baked prince and princess of the East Palace and sent someone to see Xiao Erfang's house in Beijing, and the palace envoy also asked him if there were any idle people waiting to come to the door to find trouble, such as Xiao Changfang and the like. Lu Dashou was weak-hearted, for fear that the prince would find out what he was doing, so he refused to help the Niu family get things anymore. In the end, the Niu family could only buy a few valuable items at his own expense, and sent them to the Ying Wang's Mansion together with the kang screen.

Niu's was unwilling to let go of Lu Dashou's line like this, she spent a lot of money, time and energy on him, and she always had to get back the original, so she asked Lu Dashou to report to her regularly on the dynamics of the small second room, anything can be, whether there is anyone in the small second room in Beijing, and what to do in Beijing? What did you do in Fengxian? How many industries are there? How much money do you make each year? Who are the stewards of the various industries? Origin of the name. Are there any relatives in the small long house...... And so on and so forth. Lu Dashou thought that as long as he had a heart, he could easily inquire about these things, and he said them all 1510, and later reported all the things about the small second room mentioned by his parents and younger siblings in the family letter to Niu's family. Although the Niu family has the intention of making ghosts. It's a pity that there is a lack of money and people around him, and the only thing he can do is to mix his own people in a group of girls, pass the relationship of Lu Dashou, and enter the small second room in the house in the capital as an errand for future use.

This time, the Zhang family took his grandson to Beijing, and there were people in the noble circle in Beijing who mentioned that Zhao Wei had grown up. can inherit the Marquis of Jiannan left by his grandfather. When the Niu family heard the wind, how could they make Xiao Erfang proud? I also feel that the backer of the small second room, King Guangping, has lost his storage position and is no longer in the climate. She went to the Ying Wang's Mansion again, as long as there is no small second room in the way, the title will return to Zhao Jue sooner or later. So she laid a killer idea, and promised to get rid of the Lu family immediately after the matter was completed. It is used to let them fake their deaths, change their names and surnames, take money and "legal" household registration to live in other places. Tempt Lu Dashou to return to his hometown with Zhang's ancestors and grandchildren, and then secretly poison him, so as to clear the suspicion of Xiao Changfang.

Lu Dashou has been influenced by Xiao Changfang and his wife in the past few years, and he has become accustomed to a rich life, and under the desire for profit, he did not hesitate for long, and agreed to Niu's request and took the bag of poison home. It's just that I didn't expect the Kang Ping incident to happen. Although he returned to Fengxian with his master, he also lost his errand. The bag of medicinal powder in his arms couldn't find a chance to send it into the tea and meals of several masters.

Lu Dashou fell to the ground with a wolf, trembling and finished the following words: "The little one also heard his father say before, if only he could not be an official slave, he told his father about it." Father told the little one to throw away the bag of poison, but if he didn't know about it, don't do it. He said, although he wants to get rid of the identity of this official slave, but he can't risk his life, Xiao Changfang is not at ease, if something happens to the old lady and his brother and sister, it is our father and son who come out to cover the bag, where is our life at that time? As long as Xiao Changfang doesn't know, he can easily occupy the family property and title, and he will never care about the lives of our father and son. Although we are servants in the small second room, he and his mother are both big stewards, and their lives are enjoyable. When the little one heard this, he was also scared, but he was worried that if he threw away the poison casually, it would be discovered, so he hid it first, and when he had the opportunity to go out in the future, he would dig a pit in the wild to find a place where no one was there, and he didn't think that his sister would find out......"

The truth of the matter was revealed, Zhao Wei wanted it to come true, and he was not interested in investigating what Lu Changxiu was involved in, he ordered someone to take Lu Dashou down, so he turned his head and said to the eighth old lady and Zhao Jing: "Eighth Uncle Ancestor, Brother Jing, our little second room and Xiao Changfang have not violated the river water in the past few years, and we have never done anything to them, but Xiao Changfang just refuses to let us go, and even uses the method of poisoning, and if we continue like this, God knows what else they will do?" My grandmother has always been kind and generous, and she doesn't like to care about others, but she can't let others belittle our family? Please make sure the clan is in charge of us! ”

Zhang looked at his grandson with some surprise, and was very relieved. Xiao Changfang's approach has crossed her bottom line, making her remember the pain of losing her son again. At this point, she can no longer deceive herself into looking at the county grandfather and repeatedly indulging the small long house. She said to the eighth old lady with tears: "I can't do anything that harms people's lives, but the Zhao clan can't tolerate such descendants." I want to ask the clan to discuss and expel Xiao Changfang from the clan! From then on, his family had nothing to do with the Zhao clan! ”

Zhao Xiu interjected in a timely manner: "Xiao Changfang is also closely related to Ying Wangfu, I heard that King Ying has always wanted to be the emperor, if something happens, it will involve Xiao Changfang, will it affect our family?" "She heard about it from her brother yesterday.

This time, even the eighth old lady's face changed, and he hurriedly asked Zhang: "Sister-in-law, is this true?!" ”

The lives of the whole clan are at stake, and the Zhang family nodded solemnly: "This is the truth, you are out of this door, don't tell others to go." I'm afraid that even King Guangping's injury will have nothing to do with him. The nobles are already paying attention. ”

The eighth old lady glanced at Zhao Jing with a stern expression, and Zhao Jing immediately made a decision: "The clan meeting will be held tomorrow, and the small long house will not be left!" (To be continued......)
