Speaking of this villain, Wang Siping was obviously a lot excited: "It is the second manager Gao Cheng!" Originally, he was just doing a small purchase in the outer courtyard, but because he won the favor of his grandmother, he was promoted to be the manager of the purchase, and now he has climbed to the position of the second manager of the house. This time back to the south, he was not on the entourage roster, and I don't know which master was coaxed to open his mouth and temporarily insert him in, along the way, he did not stammer with the Hou Ye, talking and doing things high and low, often saying in front of the Hou Ye that the old lady and the second master are not, if he didn't slander everywhere, the Hou Ye would not have been confused to this point, and the old lady and the second master would not be saved! ”

When King Guangping heard this, he raised his eyebrows. Big grandma? Could this be the one mentioned by Zhao Xiu's little doll?

The Zhang family also thought of this, if this Gao Cheng is really Jiang's person, then the inside story of this villain's slander is not so simple, I can't imagine that she is soft-hearted for a while, and she can't bear to see Zhao Ze's ignorant child's future ruined, and she actually buried her son and daughter-in-law in vain!

Zhang's breath didn't come up, he fainted on the spot, everyone in the tent was panicked for a while, and the king of Guangping hurriedly ordered people to send Zhang's back to the carriage to recuperate, and continued to interrogate Wang Siping: "You said that this Gao Cheng villain slandered the Marquis of Jiannan, and the Marquis of Jiannan was so ruthless and ruthless, so if there is no Gao Cheng, what will happen to the Marquis of Jiannan?" Will he leave his stepmother and brother behind and see him die? Will they order someone to kill the man who escaped from the sunken ship? ”

Wang Siping hesitated, he wanted to say no, but thinking about the confusion of the master Jiannanhou, he didn't dare to boast about Haikou, otherwise a dignified marquis would actually let a steward fiddle with it and commit the big crime of killing his mother and brother, wouldn't it seem too incompetent? In the end, he could only say: "If there is no villain, the Hou Ye may be dissatisfied with the old lady and the second master in his heart, and he may not be saved when he dies, but he will not be killed, and even the servants will not let go......"

In other words, it may not be easy for stepmother and younger brother to let go.

King Guangping had a number in his heart, and he couldn't help frowning at the temperament of Jiannan Hou, such a virtuous and wicked person is really in vain for the blood of the old county prince! Even if it is for the sake of the old county prince to spare his life, he must not be reused in the future.

He asked Wang Siping again: "Jiannanhou left in such a hurry, how did he tell you to wait before leaving?" He just ordered you to collect the bodies of the old lady and Second Master Zhao and transport them back to their hometown? ”

Wang Siping replied in a low voice: "Master Hou originally planned to send someone to find all the people on the sunken ship, whether they were dead or alive, they were not allowed to leave their lives behind, but afterwards they only deduced that it was too stormy and accidentally fell into the water." Who knew that someone found us and said that he had rescued a person, but the Hou Ye was afraid that the news would leak out, so he said that it was not our person, and sent someone to extinguish the mouth, and instructed the person sent to go directly back to the Zhuangzi in Gaotang afterwards, and not to come back to the ship again, so as not to be discovered. Gao Cheng persuaded Hou Ye again, and he didn't know how much the caravan that rescued people heard from the mouth of the rescued person, so it was better to kill the matter together, and then find a remote place to bury the person, and no one would find out. ”

King Guangping sneered when he heard this: "This Gao Cheng is really capable, and he refuses to let go of irrelevant people, he is really a villain!" "Don't blame him for being angry, if it weren't for the emperor's unease and insisting that he bring a few more guards, maybe he would have died on the edge of the canal last night without explanation. Jiannan Hou is really a sin and deserves death!

Wang Siping shrank his head, his body trembled slightly, he knew which owner of the "caravan" came to the door, and he knew that his master's future was not good, how could he not understand that his words were adding fuel to the fire? It's just that the matter has come to this point, and he didn't end well when he helped Jiannanhou speak, so why not just tell the truth? He was originally promoted by the old county prince when he was there, although he was more inclined to Jiannan Marquis Zhao Jiong, but seeing him so ruthless, he was a little panicked. As the saying goes, once the son of heaven and a courtier, Zhao Jiong attacked the lord, Mrs. Niu presided over the feed, and he will definitely promote his confidant to take over the position of the big butler, he has now taken over the dirty work of the aftermath, if Gao Cheng then enters a few words of slander to the Hou Ye, he may be extinguished, so as to make room for the latecomers, but Gao Cheng can be infinitely beautiful from now on, he can't swallow this breath!

Thinking of this, Wang Siping continued: "That Gao Cheng not only persuaded Hou Ye to kill his mouth, but also said that after all, the caravan is an outsider, no more than his own servants, it is easy to start, but there will inevitably be rumors afterwards, in case someone finds out that their caravan has an accident, Hou Ye and his party are nearby, it is not good, it is better to leave early, but also to go as much as possible, so that everyone can see, so as to get rid of suspicion, as long as a few people are left to clean up the traces." Hou Ye agreed, and instructed the villain that if there was anything wrong with the corpse collected, he would cover it up slightly, and if he couldn't cover it up, he would simply burn it to ashes, and don't let people see the flaws. In case of alarming the local government, it can be inferred that they have encountered bandits on the river, and they are instructed to chase and suppress them, and in the name of the Hou government, ask the local parents about the crime of arson and robbery, until they no longer ask. ”

King Guangping seemed to smile: "Sure enough, he is a talent, and he has thought of it in all aspects, and he is a small second steward in Jiannanhou Mansion, and he was really wronged, so there should be a better place to go." ”

Wang Siping didn't dare to appear, hung his head low, and waited for a long time before waiting for the next words from King Guangping: "Can you handle the few people who stay with you to deal with the aftermath?" ”

Wang Siping didn't understand what he wanted to do, so he hurriedly said: "There are two people who are not familiar with the villain, one of them is left by the hired fleet to identify the body of the shipwrecked shipwright, and the other has always been close to Gao Cheng. The little one was afraid that the people of the fleet would make trouble, and he couldn't get used to seeing the other, so when he saw that he had collected the corpses of several domestic servants and servants, he sent them to Gaotang, and it would take at least two days to return. The remaining two servants and two mothers-in-law are all related to the villain, and they will never say much. ”

"Good." King Guangping smiled slightly, "In the past two days, you will let the rest of the people listen to your orders, put the corpses into the coffin, hire a boat to load the coffin, and wait for the two who went to Gaotang to come back, you stabilize them, don't reveal that the king is here, and don't tell them that the old lady and the two children are safe, just take them on a boat and transport the coffin to Fengxian." This king will escort the old lady all the way south behind you, as for how to speak in the Zhao clan, this king has his own plans. ”

Wang Siping hurriedly responded, and the king of Guangping asked people to take him down, and asked his subordinates to follow them closely to see how they behaved, but he wrote a letter himself. There was such a big change in the Zhao family of Jiannan Hou, and he had to tell his father immediately before he could arrange follow-up matters.

Zhao Xiu didn't know anything about the movements of the adults, only that Qiu Ye woke up not long after, and his little brother Zhao Wei also woke up, but Qiu Ye recovered quickly, but Zhao Wei was always sick, coughing non-stop, which made people worried. As Zhao Wei's cough did not improve for a long time, he was arranged to recuperate in a separate carriage, and then his grandmother Zhang also fell ill, her face was very bad, she fell asleep from time to time, and even if she woke up, she often cried. No matter how Zhao Xiu comforted her, she couldn't make her feel better, and even when she saw her granddaughter so sensible and caring, she would cry even more sadly.

Zhao Xiu didn't know how to persuade her, sometimes seeing her so sad, thinking of her parents in modern times, she couldn't help but cry together.

The convoy of the King of Quang Binh stayed on the river bank for less than two days before they were all transferred to the town of Liulin, a few miles away, and took over the only inn in the town, which actually had only one courtyard and eleven rooms, including three main rooms, three east and west wings, and two inverted rooms.

Because of the small number of rooms, Zhao Xiu was placed in the west compartment of the main house, that is, the room of Gao Zhen, the prince of Dongping. The big girl took care of the little master wholeheartedly, didn't pay much attention to Zhao Xiu's affairs, and handed it over to Yanxia, but she couldn't find fault in the number of etiquette. Zhao Xiu didn't take it to heart, she was under the fence, it would be good to have a place to live, she was just worried about her grandmother and little brother, since she lived in this inn, she hadn't seen them for two whole days. She knew they lived in the East Wing, but she never saw them.

She once asked Yanxia privately, "Can I go see my grandmother and brother?" ”

Yanxia persuaded her very gently: "Old Mrs. Zhao and Little Master Zhao are both sick, and I am afraid that Miss Zhao will be sick, so I specially instructed Miss Zhao not to go over to see them." But don't worry, the girl is taken care of by the princess and Imperial Doctor Jiang, and the old lady and the little boy will be fine. ”

Zhao Xiu responded in a muffled voice, still very worried in his heart, and asked his parents who had been missing for a long time and had not known their whereabouts: "Did the people sent out by the prince find my father and mother?" What about the others? ”

Yanxia looked at her with pity, but her mouth did not leak a little: "I'm still looking for it, Miss Zhao, don't worry, with news, I will definitely tell you." ”

Zhao Xiu had no choice but to continue to be depressed.

Gao Zhen saw that she was in a bad mood and finished the homework assigned by her father to write big characters, so she jumped down from the chair and ran over to her and said, "Sister Zhao, don't worry, your father and mother will be fine, and your grandmother and brother will get better soon." ”

Zhao Xiu smiled back at him, of course that was her wish.

Gao Zhen thought about it, and said to Zhao Xiu when Yanxia and his eldest girl went to get lunch: "Your grandmother and brother live in the east wing, and there is no one in the house at this time, why don't I take you over to take a sneak peek at them, and then sneak back quietly?" ”

Zhao Xiu was greatly moved: "If you let Sister Yanxia know......"

Gao Zhen puffed up his little chest: "Don't worry, there is me." ”

Zhao Xiu jumped off the bed and quietly walked out after him.

Her body is only more than a year old, although she can walk, but her feet are not strong, and she walks crookedly, fortunately, Gao Zhen led her, and carried her down the steps with all her strength, and the two children walked slowly to the east wing.

There are three rooms in the east chamber, and there are two mothers-in-law in the main house who go to night, and one of the compartments on both sides is where Zhang and Qiuye live, and the other is for Zhao Wei to live. At this time, the two mothers-in-law were not there, but there was a sound of talking from the compartment on the left, and it seemed that Princess Guangping was talking with the Zhang family, and Qiu Ye was waiting inside. Gao Zhen was afraid that her mother would blame herself when she saw that she had brought her little sister out, so she hurriedly gave Zhao Xiu a look. Zhao Xiu understood, and lightly touched Zhao Wei's room.

In Zhang's room, Princess Guangping's gentle voice came: "The old lady also asks for condolences, although Ling Langling's daughter-in-law unfortunately died, but you still have grandchildren and granddaughters, if you have a good one, who will the children rely on?" Please also cheer up for Brother Wei and Sister Xiu. ”

Zhao Xiu stopped and looked back in shock.
