CHAPTER XXVI
This simple "shhhhhh
Qiu Ye's face changed, and he cautiously glanced in the direction of the main house, and then whispered: "Our old lady believes from the bottom of my heart that the sudden breaking of the white flag is the manifestation of the county grandfather!" If she knew, it was just you...... Or let the Hou Ye know......"
The guard smiled, and said with great confidence in his tone: "Jiannanhou won't know, my kung fu of playing stones is a family heirloom, and the emphasis is on not knowing the ghosts, if someone finds out, I might as well pack up my baggage and go home, what kind of guard are I still in the Guangping Palace?" I dare to pack a ticket, the people who know that I have done something today, including you, the girl, will never be more than three people! ā
Qiu Shi didn't think it was a big deal at all, but was very panicked: "Three people? Who else but me and you? Will he tell the Marquis? ā
The guard raised his index finger and shook it: "In addition to you and me, it is possible that our lord will know the truth, and the other palace guards will not know, the lord is naturally reliable, and he will not tell the marquis in private, and Mrs. Zhao, if the girl doesn't say it, she will naturally not know." Rest assured, girl. ā
Where can Autumn leaves be safe? She was so anxious that she stomped her foot: "Naturally, I won't talk nonsense, but even I can see what you did, how do you know that no fourth person will see it?" If you shout out and let people know that the manifestation of the county grandfather is actually a ghost made by our people, the old lady's situation will be embarrassing! ā
Seeing that she was really anxious, the guard realized that his words made people worried, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, girl, you can see it because you are standing right in front of me, and because you were worried about Old Madam Zhao, you happened to turn your head and stare at her, so you can see what I am doing." In fact, at that time, everyone was looking at Jiannanhou and Old Madam Zhao, and no one paid attention to a few of us, not to mention that there were people in front of me and left and right, and it was you who stood in front of me. The stones pop up obliquely from the bottom to the top, the size is very small, and the bounce is fast, light yƬ will not be seen, and then it falls to the ground, mixed with the rest of the gravel on the side of the road, and will not show any abnormality at all. As for the Commander, he didn't really see me do it, but he knew I had the skills to do it, so he could just speculate. Besides, unless I am caught on the spot, who can confirm that I have actually done it? Now that Jiannanhou is a rat crossing the street, he will only think that he is quibbling. ā
Akiba listened to his words and gradually calmed down. Recalling the situation at the time, she only seemed to see a small pebble in his hand to pop out, but where the pebble went after ejecting, she actually didn't see it, only saw the white flag breaking, so she had this speculation, maybe no one else really saw what he did, even if he did, he didn't expose it at the time, and it was useless to say anything later.
It's just that she is still a little worried in her heart: "Don't make your own decisions in the future, this time you can hide it from luck, and if there is a second time in the future, it will be difficult to guarantee that no one will notice." You were kind enough to help our old lady, but don't be self-defeating! ā
The guards hurriedly raised their hands and swore, "I will never make my own decisions again." The Commander has already quietly scolded me. I just can't get used to Jian Nanhou's style, obviously I did something wrong, and I still didn't admit it, and even spewed blood and poured dirty water on the old lady's head. Since he said that Zhao Jungong can't manifest his spirit, then I will let Zhao Jungong show his spirit once, and Zhao Jungong will not really come out and say that I lied. ā
Akiba couldn't help but glare at him: "How do you know he won't?" The county grandfather really appeared, otherwise you think you broke two white flags, and our old lady would believe it so easily? She didn't believe in this before, and she was always talking about something. ā
The guard was surprised: "Zhao Jungong really appeared?" When was it? How is it revealed? ā
Qiu Ye was about to answer, when he suddenly heard the big housekeeper Wang Siping accompanying Zhang Chaoyi, the second uncle of the Zhang family, and the old lady Zhang Chaoyi to this side, hurriedly retreated a few steps, pretending to be coming from the corridor and going out of the courtyard gate.
The guards also cooperated with her movements, standing upright beside the pillars as guards.
Zhang Chaoyi and Wang Siping entered the courtyard gate, and Qiu Ye hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Second uncle, old lady." ā
Zhang Chaoyi recognized who she was, and nodded: "You old lady can be in the house?" I have an urgent matter to consult with her. ā
"The old lady is talking to the guard commander of the Guangping Palace in the house, the second uncle and the old lady, please wait, and wait for the slave and maid to go and pass it on."
"The commander of the guards of the Quang Binh Palace?" Zhang Chaoyi's eyes lit up, and he glanced at Wang Siping, more confident in what he was going to say.
When Zhang saw his younger brother coming, he didn't think much about it: "Have they arranged a place for you to live?" Zhao Jiong is really rude, he only has the Qian family in his eyes, and he has forgotten that the master of the Qin family and you are his serious uncle. ā
There was nothing to say about the residence, Zhang Chaoyi was concerned about other things: "Why don't you see that commander?" ā
Zhang didn't want to be deep, and said: "He left beforehand." Then he was a little puzzled: "Is there anything you are looking for him?" ā
Zhang Chaoyi coughed lightly: "I just heard the discussion of the people below, saying that Zhao Jiong fell off his horse and may be paralyzed?" The evil slave named Gao Cheng was asking a doctor to treat his injuries, and I heard that he had invited a very famous one, but he suspected that he was a quack doctor, and he didn't want anyone to treat him. ā
Zhang said lightly: "Whoever he likes to invite to go, I won't interfere in this matter." If I don't go to the government to accuse him of disobedience and unfilial piety, and punish him with a capital crime, it is already extremely lenient and merciful, is it possible to care if he is sick or injured? Even if I do, I'm afraid he won't be able to trust me. ā
"Sister, I don't want you to take care of this matter." Zhang Chaoyi said, "Just now Wang Siping arranged the mourning hall for his nephew and wife, I went to see how he arranged it, by the way, I asked you about your experience these days, only to know that there are so many dangers, if it weren't for God's mercy, let my sister and two grandchildren escape, and get the protection of King Guangping, I'm afraid that Zhao Jiong's calculation will really be successful!" He is so vicious, is it because he is paralyzed now that his sister will let him go? I know that my sister has always been a soft-hearted person, but the blood feud between my nephew and husband is here, even if it is for the sake of the future peace of the two children, you can't let him go! ā
Zhang said, "Why do I plan to let him go?" However, he fell off the horse in a good manner, and nine times out of ten it was the county grandfather who appeared and wanted to teach his unfilial son a lesson. The county grandfather has always loved his eldest son, but now Zhao Jiong is paralyzed, his future in this life is also ruined, and he will have to suffer for a lifetime in the future. If I insist on Zhao Jiong's death, my heart is happy, what will the county grandfather think if he is in the spirit of the sky? ā
Zhang Chaoyi disagreed: "My sister is thinking about what her brother-in-law thinks, but everyone else is dead, what can I do if I think about it?" Zhao Jiong killed his sister's child, killing people to pay for his life, as it should be, no matter how reluctant his brother-in-law is, he can't cross the national law! Besides, the nephew was unfortunately killed, and most of it was his brother-in-law who killed him, if he didn't distinguish between his concubines and had to set up a fake concubine as the son, how could he let Zhao Jiong override his mother and brother as a concubine? If he follows the law of the country and the law of etiquette, and makes his nephew the son of the world, then Zhao Jiong will not be able to become the Marquis of Jiannan, no matter how much he calculates. ā
Zhang lowered his head a little sadly: "Why do you think so?" The county grandfather was also thoughtful, but Zhao Jiong was incompetent, so he let him enjoy peace and wealth with the marquis; Zhuo'er is smart, and the road to fame is also smooth, and she can go to a higher position from the imperial examination. If he inherits the palace at a young age, it will not be good for him to be admitted to the Jinshi in the future, and it will be impossible to go to the pavilion to pay homage to the prime minister. The prince of the county couldn't bear to let the title block Zhuo'er's career, so he arranged it like this. ā
Zhang Chaoyi was not persuaded by her: "My brother-in-law's arrangement is not a big mistake, but it is easy to make trouble if there is no distinction between the concubines and the concubines." Zhao Jiong has grown so big, he even has a grandson, even if his brother-in-law was busy fighting in the early years, he has been at home for more than 20 years, is it possible that he can't see that Zhao Jiong's character is unreliable? He is old, if he really wants to let his two sons get along, he should have made more arrangements, or divide the family property in advance, so as not to suffer a loss to his nephew, or ask the emperor to come forward and give his sister and nephew a shelter, or arrange the funeral in advance, so that he will not be buried for him, let the two people argue endlessly, and give Zhao Jiong a chance to kill your mother and son. But my brother-in-law didn't make any arrangements, as soon as he died, Zhao Jiong easily killed you, isn't it his responsibility? ā
When Zhang heard this, he couldn't help but feel sad: "Grandpa Jun also made some arrangements, and he also mentioned it to me, but it has not yet been implemented." Although he is old, he has always been in good health, and no one thought that he would suddenly ......" She choked up, bowed her head and wiped her tears: "It's not that he doesn't have this heart, it's just too late." ā
Zhang Chaoyi frowned: "How could it be too late?" Even if he has a recurrence of his old illness, he should have time to see his children for the last time, saying that the emperor respects him very much, is it possible that he will not be able to visit the patient in the future? As long as he mentioned a word to the emperor, Zhao Jiong didn't dare to act rashly! ā
Zhang shook his head with tears: "It's really too late, it's half a day's work, and when the palace got the letter, his corpse was cold......
Zhang Chaoyi was surprised: "Could it be that when he was critically ill, his sister was too flustered and forgot to tell the palace?" "This shouldn't be, with his sister's temperament, he shouldn't make such a mistake.
Zhang was still sad and did not answer this question, it was Wang Siping who answered on his behalf: "Second uncle and old lady, the old lady was not at home that day, the old lady of the Zhuguo General's Mansion was on her birthday, the old lady took the second wife over to celebrate her birthday, and the second old man also went out to meet friends, only the elder brother and sister were at home, and they stayed in the yard all the time, and were taken care of by the nursing mother. I got up early that day, the county grandfather was still fine, ate a big bowl of breakfast, played three times of boxing, and there was no abnormality at all, and he also instructed the old slave to put the accounts of the shops in the East Fourth Archway on a plate, and he wanted to check it at night. When the old slave was halfway through the accounts, he heard that the county grandfather was not good, and when he rushed to the main courtyard, the Hou Ye and his wife were lying on the corpse and crying, saying that they fell down while talking, and they couldn't wake up no matter how they screamed, so they invited the familiar Imperial Doctor Liu to come to diagnose and treat, but when Imperial Doctor Liu arrived, the county grandfather was already out of breath. They cried together, and in a panic they didn't remember to go to the palace to report the funeral, and after the old slave arrived, they sent someone to ask the old lady and the second master to come back and report to the palace. ā
Zhang Chaoyi's brows furrowed again, he looked at Zhang, and when he saw her nodding, he knew that what Wang Siping said was the truth, but this "truth" couldn't help but make people think more: "What did that Imperial Doctor Liu say?" Why did my brother-in-law suddenly faint? At that time, there was only Zhao Jiong and his wife in front of him, did the illness really have nothing to do with them? ā
Zhang was stunned.
