Chapter 33: Secret Mission

Zhao Jiong vomited blood and fell into a coma, Gao Cheng was startled, and he was busy asking people to ask for a doctor and boil medicine.

A few days ago, the doctor who invited Zhao Jiong to treat him, and two of them didn't leave in the old house, and they soon came to diagnose and treat, and the results of the diagnosis and treatment were almost the same, saying that Zhao Jiong was angry and attacked, and he must recuperate, and he couldn't be angry anymore, otherwise he would hurt his body.

Gao Cheng stood in the courtyard with a bitter face, not knowing what to do. How could Zhao Jiong not be angry? To keep the title of Xiao Changfang, he must be sacrificed, he has to bear all the responsibility alone, this decision is still made by his closest family, with his temper, it is impossible to bear it. But what if he gets angry again? He is now far away in Fengxian, and the evidence of the crime is very conclusive, what else can he do except honestly admit his guilt? Gao Cheng is very optimistic about him, but he still feels uncomfortable in his heart, without him, now Zhao Jiong's side is waiting for him to be the most used, and he is also the one who bears Zhao Jiong's anger every day, he is really worried that one day the master's anger will come up, and he will be angry with him, and he will not know if there is still a life at that time.

Thinking that yesterday because Zhao Jiong couldn't feel that Yahuan was massaging him, he decided that Yahuan was lazy and couldn't help, so he ordered someone to drag her out and beat her half to death, and then threw her out of the door, Gao Chengcheng couldn't help but shiver. That is Zhao Jiong's cronies brought back from Beijing, and she also has an errand for the room, before Zhang's return to Fengxian, when Zhao Jiong was in a good mood, she loved this girl very much, and she ended up like this. What kind of card is he Gao Cheng?

He touched the letter in his sleeve pocket, feeling a little confused.

It was not the letter I had just read to Zhao Jiong, but it was written to him by the hostess Jiang. This time, the Marquis Mansion of the capital went south to deliver a letter, and the person sent out happened to be Jiang's henchman, so she sent another secret letter. The content of the secret letter is very simple, since the ancestors and grandchildren of the Zhang family are not dead, then in order to keep the title of Xiao Changfang, Gao Cheng must find a way to kill their ancestors and grandchildren, as long as the lives of the Zhang family and Zhao Wei are not guaranteed, the title of Xiao Changfang will be secure.

Gao Cheng is upset about this, his aunt and grandmother think too well, but where can things go as she wishes? And her idea is completely opposite to what Xiao Changfang Niu's mother and son said, Niu and Zhao Jue both told Zhao Jiong in the letter not to do anything to the ancestors and grandchildren of the Zhang family, so as not to anger the emperor, but the Jiang family had to kill the Zhang family and Zhao Wei completely......

If it is said that killing Zhao Wei is to exterminate the male who can attack the lord in Xiao Erfang, as long as the emperor does not intend to take away the title of his children and grandchildren soon after the death of the old county prince, he can only pass the title to Xiao Changfang, Jiang now has the hope of becoming the Marquis of Jiannan immediately, and it is common sense to have this thought, but what is the purpose of killing the old lady Zhang?

Now whether it is in the palace or Fengxian, everyone knows that Zhao Jiong has poisoned his stepmother and brother, and now he is still living in the same house with the ancestors and grandchildren of the Zhang family. It's also a father-in-law!

Could it be that what the old lady Zhang said at the city gate that day was not groundless? Does his aunt and grandmother really have a handle in Zhang's hands, so they can't wait to kill people? What kind of handle will it be?

Gao Cheng thought about it, and suddenly noticed that someone was peeking at him outside, and when he looked up, he found that there was a mother-in-law who was probing his brain outside the courtyard gate, and when he saw him looking, he immediately shrank his neck and turned to leave. When Gao Cheng chased out, she was gone. But in the other direction, two more mothers-in-law who were mruning flowers and plants peeked at him.

Gao Cheng knew that now the personnel in the old house had been mastered by Wang Siping's old goods, and the old goods must have taken refuge in the old lady Zhang's family, and sent countless people to peep at the situation in the east courtyard every day. Gao Cheng was very angry about this, but he couldn't do anything about it, and now he was able to control Zhao Jiong's cronies well, which was already very difficult. He was originally a powerful person under the Jiang family, the Marquis Mansion in the capital was originally the steward of the Zhang family, but now it is the world of the Niu family, and the Jiang family can only share some rights from his mother-in-law, and he has not yet established enough authority. As the Jiang family's roommate, if it weren't for the blue eyes of the Hou Ye, those stewards would not have taken him seriously.

When Gao Cheng thought of this, he couldn't help sighing, his aunt probably didn't know the situation in his hometown, right? In this situation, even if he wants to attack the ancestors and grandchildren of the Zhang family, there is nothing he can do......

He had better wait a little longer, now his aunt must not have received the letter he sent back to Beijing, and it would not be too late for him to do it until she received the revised instructions......

Gao Cheng guessed one thing correctly, Wang Siping did report the news of Zhao Jiong's vomiting blood to the Zhang family at the first time.

Zhang didn't care about whether Zhao Jiong vomited blood, she didn't plan to pay attention to his condition for a long time, she was more interested in the fact that Zhao Jiong had just received a letter from the Marquis Mansion in the capital before vomiting blood. Wang Siping knew everything about the personnel in the old mansion, so he could naturally find out that the Marquis Mansion in the capital had just sent a messenger, and even that the messenger was someone from the Jiang family, he knew it.

The Zhang family is now very wary of the Jiang family, and as soon as they heard that the messenger who came was her person, they immediately pointed out: "This person will definitely meet with Gao Cheng in private, and you should let people pay attention to their actions, and then send someone else to keep an eye on Gao Cheng." ”

Wang Siping hurriedly agreed. He even regretted that when the messenger first entered the door, he didn't immediately send someone to keep an eye on them, and if the messenger had already communicated with Gao Cheng, it might not be useful to send someone to keep an eye on them.

Zhang remembered that King Guangping specially sent Lu Yunpeng to her house, and hid his official body to stay in the name of Xixi for a few years, in order to protect their ancestors and grandchildren, presumably he was also guarding against the other end of the small long house, right? If you want Zhao Wei to inherit the title of Marquis of Jiannan, you really have to beware of the little Changfang dog jumping off the wall and harming the child.

She immediately gave orders to both Wang Siping and Qiu Ye: "Strictly guard the door, close the door and thank guests, only say that we are mourning at home, we don't see outsiders, and even relatives in the clan have as little contact as possible." If anyone brings something, it is important to check it one by one to make sure that everything is okay, especially food, no matter what the test result is, no one in our family can eat it in their mouths. Brother Wei and Sister Xiu'er and I have three meals a day, all in the small kitchen in this courtyard, and Wang Siping needs to check the rice, fruits and vegetables every day, and then send them in, and there must be no mistakes. ”

Wang Siping and Qiu Ye hurriedly responded.

Zhang thought about it again and decided not to let her grandchildren leave the courtyard where she lived for the time being, although Wang Siping was in the old mansion, who could guarantee that all the servants were reliable?

Qiu Ye was a little embarrassed by this: "My sister is still young, and I only let people hug me to the front of the mourning hall every day to show her face, that's it, my brother has to go to the mourning hall every day to kneel on the spirit, how can I not go out of the courtyard?" If you don't let you go to the front mourning hall, I'm afraid that someone will talk. ”

Zhang frowned, this is indeed a problem. She counted the days, and simply said: "Well, counting from the day of the capsizing, Zhuo'er and his wife have been going for twenty-one days, just after the third seventh, and the county grandfather is still waiting to be buried, so let them go into the ground together." ”

The aftermath of Zhao Zhuo's husband and wife was originally very unorthodox because of Zhao Jiong's negligence, and the Zhang family reopened the mourning hall after returning to the old house, which was a bit of a thing. It's just that they died horizontally, and they were buried on the 3721st day of the cessation of the spirit, which is also reasonable. To be honest, their corpses had been soaked in the water, and although it was autumn now, the smell was not very good. And the coffin of the county grandfather should have been buried on an auspicious day a long time ago, and if it drags on any longer, it will cause gossip.

Zhang's actions were very efficient, and in less than half a day, her younger brother Zhang Chaoyi had already received the news and rushed to ask: "Why did my sister suddenly change her mind and let Zhuo'er and his wife be buried with her brother-in-law?" It's only been a few days since the mourning hall was up! ”

Zhang sighed: "Although the previous and future things were done hastily, relatives and friends have actually worshipped, and now it is not interesting to worship again, so I simply buried it early." Otherwise, the two children would have to go to the mourning hall every day to blow the wind, they are already young and weak, and if they suffer such a sin, how can they be good if they get sick? ”

As soon as he heard that it was for the two children, Zhang Chaoyi was speechless: "My sister also dotes on her grandson too much, this is a proper courtesy, and they are also willing." "But thinking that my sister has no son now, I can only count on this pair of grandchildren, it is normal for people to be tighter, Fengxian in autumn is indeed wet and cold, in case the child has a good one, who can my sister rely on in the future? He didn't say anything more.

He mentioned the news he had just heard: "I heard people talk about a letter from the Marquis Mansion in Beijing, and Zhao Jiong's unfilial son vomited blood after reading it, and fainted, and he didn't wake up until just now." ”

Zhang raised his eyebrows: "Are you awake?" I thought he was still unconscious. ”

"It doesn't matter if he's unconscious or awake, it's useless." Zhang Chaoyi was more worried about other things, "I don't know what is written in the letter from the capital?" Shouldn't Xiao Changfang want to do some tricks against his sister and two children? ”

Zhang said: "Count the days, how many days will I come back?" This letter could never have been written after knowing the situation in his hometown, maybe it was a reply from Zhao Jiong who sent someone back to Beijing to report the letter when we capsized the boat before, right? After King Guangping rescued our ancestors and grandchildren, he also put a watch on the emperor, this son Zhao Jiong's family is afraid that they are all in a hurry, if they dare to attack our ancestors and grandchildren again, it will really kill themselves. Don't worry, I've ordered people to be on guard, and I won't take the Tao lightly. ”

Zhang Chaoyi nodded: "Since my sister knows it in her heart, I am also relieved." ”

Zhang also told him: "In two days, the king of Guangping will come to see me after finishing his official business, and discuss with me the future arrangements, and you will also come to accompany the guests at that time." I am a woman's family, and I am a widow, in the past, I was in a hurry to obey the power, and I couldn't pay attention to so many courtesies, but now my relatives and friends are watching, and I am inconvenient to speak and act. ”

Zhang Chaoyi couldn't help but feel that his sister was too careful, but he still agreed, and he was still a little excited in his heart. Now that my sister has no husband, her son has died, and her grandchildren are young, do you finally plan to rely on her brother?

Zhang didn't know what her brother thought, she found that her granddaughter Zhao Xiu was hiding by the door of the room and peeking out.

Zhang couldn't help but smile and beckoned to her: "What are you doing hiding there?" Come and meet the second uncle. ”

Zhang Chaoyi hurriedly looked over, Zhao Xiu lifted the door curtain, staggered out, hugged his thighs, blinked his big eyes and sold cuteness: "Second uncle is good~"

Zhang Chaoyi's heart was about to melt, and he picked her up: "Good boy, it's the first time my second uncle has seen you, you look so good." After touching her little face twice, he asked Zhang: "This is what my sister said, the child who was slapped by my brother-in-law in the spirit of heaven?" ”
