Chapter 111: The Secret of Zhang's Mansion

Every day before dawn, Li Mao has to get up.

When Li Mao got up, Fang didn't actually sleep well, but she still made a good sleep and opened her eyes in a daze, watching Li Mao get up and dress, ready to go to the court.

Li Mao took the towel handed by his subordinates, turned around and saw Fang's eyes open, and said with a smile:

"Still woke you up. You can make up for sleep later. ”

Fang nodded, "That's good, master." ”

"Did you sleep well last night?"

In fact, what he wanted to ask was, did you see your sister-in-law again last night?

"I slept well, except for one time at night, when I slept until dawn." Fang Shi cheered up and tried to make herself laugh, she touched her stomach, "This kid, as soon as I toss me at night, I will go to the toilet, it's really too energetic." ”

Li Mao smiled very contentedly.

"If you have a good spirit, if you have a spirit, you may be a kid."

He knew that Fang Wan was just sick with his heart, if he was open-minded, where would there be any ghosts asking for his life!

Li Mao hummed "Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water", and went out with a satisfied face.

This is just a song that Gu Qing sang to coax the two children, and was once listened to by Li Mao, and from then on it became a melody that he hummed after tea and dinner.

Fang Shi watched with a smile as Li Mao went out of the court to go to the court, and his spirit relaxed.

Li Ming, who had just slept in the same quilt with Li Mao, had a small head emerging from the quilt.

"Mother, mother, will you sleep with me? Dad just left, and it's still warm in the quilt! ”

Seeing Li Mingxiao's cute appearance, Fang Shi lifted the quilt and really got into their stepping bed.

Even Li Ming didn't expect his mother to run barefoot on the ground, let alone that his mother, who insisted on "not sitting at the age of seven", would run to his bed to sleep together.

"What, just lip service?" Fang slipped into the quilt and chuckled at his son.

"No, no, mother, let's go back to sleep, it's just dawn!" Li Ming held Fang's hand, "Mother, why are your hands so cold, I'll cover your ......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Mother? ”

Fang sniffed the smell of her husband and son in the quilt, listened to her son's broken thoughts, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Li Ming is ten years old, and he is embarrassed to nest in his mother's arms anymore, but he still falls asleep by his mother.

He secretly stretched out his hand and touched Fang's round belly.

Ahhhhh

Li Ming's eyes widened.

Is his brother or sister made of stone?

He touched it again unwillingly.

Boom!

Ahhh Will move!

Li Ming was so frightened that he retracted his hand.

His younger brother and sister are somersaults monkeys!!

Li Mao took two days off, and naturally there were many things to do before going to court. Many of his colleagues wanted to talk to him about what they were going to do today, and there were also other officials who wanted to do something. He was happy in his heart, and he had a smile on his face from beginning to end, and his hands were also loosened when he was doing things, so that these officials repeatedly called "lucky".

They actually chose a happy day for the grandfather of the country to do things!

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Li Mao was kept by the emperor as usual, listening to the emperor tell him some political affairs. After the emperor finished speaking, Li Mao bent down, received the holy message, and said:

"Your Majesty, the minister's troubles have been solved for a while, and he is going to go home to live."

Chu Rui heard Li Mao say this, and when he saw Li Mao's happy face again, he said with a smile: "Oh, Aiqing has seen some happy event in Lu, and he is not even afraid of the generals' Guan Shuo?" ”

Li Maocai would not tell the emperor that he was in a good mood because his wife had a good night's sleep. "Yes, Your Majesty, when I was sweeping the tomb a few days ago, the minister 'bumped' into a few adults, and the minister has already rejected these people, and they probably won't come to the door again. The minister will be able to go home with peace of mind. You also know that the minister's mother has an injury on her hand, and the minister's wife is pregnant again, and the minister is really relieved......"

Chu Rui and Li Mao have been together for a long time, and naturally know what kind of person Li Mao is. People like this are rare among the people around him.

But such a mediocre person with no bright spots, unexpectedly getting in tune with him also reassured him.

At least, this prince has never covered up his shortcomings and shortcomings, has been constantly listening to the opinions of the people around him, and is not keen on fighting for power and profit, he is really learning how to do this "important minister" little by little.

Such an important minister made him very fresh, and it also made him want to see how far this second child of the Li family could go.

"Then you go back, you're not a beauty, I won't keep you!" Chu Rui said with a smile, thought about it again, and instructed: "Your family's back house ......"

Li Mao's heart lifted.

Chu Rui knew everything that the Dao Fang clan had done, and he also despised this woman very much. But as the king of a country, he really shouldn't be in charge of the family affairs in the backyard of the courtier's house, so he only mentioned it slightly.

"Your family's back house was handed over to Mrs. Qiu, and I am very relieved. You are the pillar of the country, I need you very much, I hope you can take care of the affairs of the family, and don't cause any chaos at a critical time. ”

The back house is restless, and the front yard will not be stable.

"Listen to the hadith and take it to heart." Li Mao understood what Chu Rui was worried about, and bowed down and said yes.

"By the way, your cousin and nephew will also take the palace test in a few days, and he looked very interesting to me at that time, like a hilly man in his chest. I heard that this person is just a concubine in the family, and he lives in your house? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, Li Jun is the grandson of the Chentang's uncle, and his great-grandfather and Chen's great-grandfather are siblings. He was the concubine of the family, and because he was good at studying, he came to Beijing to take the exam and lived in the minister's house. ”

Chu Rui nodded. "I know whose child it is. Your cousin's family, who has stayed in their hometown to guard their ancestral land after the world has been settled, is a loyal family, no wonder the children of this family would write such articles. ”

Seeing that the emperor praised Li Jun, Li Mao couldn't help but wipe a cold sweat in his heart.

I hope that His Majesty will see his nephew's ability to "speak without being shocking and dying", and don't blame him.

When Li Mao went home, the family general hurriedly came forward and whispered in his ear: "My lord, the red lady is about to be unable to stand the punishment, and if she is injured again, she will hurt her muscles and bones, and we don't dare to act rashly." Nothing useful has come out now. ”

Li Mao nodded, and without changing his official uniform, he went to the torture room.

In the torture room, the red lady heard the sound from the interrogation room, opened her eyes tremblingly, glanced at Li Mao, and closed her eyes again.

Just at that glance, Li Mao knew that she was definitely not simple.

A woman who has been wronged will not show such a look. There are so many things in that look, the average woman has collapsed by this time, how can she have such eyes mixed with all kinds of emotions?

Li Mao looked at her for a while, asked his subordinates to let her go, and called the Hu family doctor to treat her.

The red lady didn't expect that she would be put down, and when she heard that the Hu family doctor was going to treat her, she closed her eyes with a dead face.

This is not even going to give her death, and you have to torture her all the time.

"I know that you are not simple when you enter my house, and I also know that you are my sister-in-law's person, and you came with ulterior motives. But I guess you're just a pawn that you can't help yourself. Although I don't know what you're insisting on, you still have family and children, do you really not care at all? ”

The red lady didn't know what kind of famous hall Li Mao was playing, so she could only close her eyes and not say a word.

"What if I torture Lianxiu? You don't care at all? ”

The red lady opened her eyes.

"I really don't know what Master Lu Dao is talking about, and what can he say?"

"I don't treat my subordinates as patiently as I do with my own family." Li Mao sighed, "But at least I still have credit." ”

"I know that people like you are not afraid of interrogation, so let me tell you, if you recruit all the people who know the Tao, I will declare to the public that you will be killed, and then find a way for you to be sent to a remote place, and change your household registration so that you can live again."

"You are still young, your daughter is not married yet, although you have been punished, but you are all bitter, you can come over after a while, you think about it yourself."

Li Mao is not lying, nor is he fake kindness, but he thought of his wife and suddenly came up with this idea.

If there is anything that these spies and intermediaries are most looking forward to, it may be to turn back.

He regarded Zhuang Tou's daughter as an assassin, not believing that she was just trying to climb into his bed.

Maybe the original purpose was just to be an aunt, but with the instructions of these people behind the scenes* will drive her to do even more terrible things.

The temptation of the title of Duke of Xinguo led both him and his wife into a lost path, let alone a woman who was even more stupid than his wife?

The red lady raised her eyes and looked at Li Mao carefully, and found that what he seemed to say was not a lie, a glimmer of hope rose in her heart, and she gasped and said:

"I, I don't believe it."

When Li Mao heard her say this, he knew that she already believed it.

"You don't have a choice. It's up to you to tell me the truth if you want to die together as a family of three, and let me transport the three of you out of Lu as corpses and send them to a remote place for proper placement. Li Mao looked at the red lady's eyes, "You can gamble, I rarely have compassion." ”

The red lady was stunned for a long time, thinking wildly in her heart.

Can you do it all over again? Can I take my daughter to live an ordinary life in the countryside? Can we stop listening to the news from there from time to time, threatening to kill their whole family if they don't do anything?

"My name is not Ruan Hong, my real name is Mei Hong......" the red lady finally opened her mouth.

Li Mao saw that the red lady was finally recruited, and finally sat on the stool.

"When I was a child, I was sold by my brother to Renyazi, and later moved into the Zhang family. At first, she didn't ask me to do anything, just to serve Miss, but later, Miss got older and older, I learned more and more, I learned how to distinguish drugs, how to change other people's voices......" The red lady said a word in a man's voice, and then said, "Later, Miss married into the Guogong Mansion, and I began to help deliver the news." ”

She didn't say that she had a grudge against the Xinguo Mansion, she was afraid that if she said it, the prince would not let her go. So she could only erase how she was indoctrinated with hatred, how she wanted to avenge her parents, and just said something else lightly.

"Send the news, to whom?"

"It was first passed on to Zhang's house, and later the place where the east and west were passed on became Dongshi, and the people who connected them were all different." The red lady said, "I actually don't want to get married, and the young lady also promised me to let me go when my uncle becomes the prince of the country in the future." But then, the boss told me that I had to find a steward to marry, or else he would sell me to that kind of place......

"The eldest you said is the father of the sister-in-law?"

"No, it's Miss's grandfather, Zhang Tingyan Zhang."

Li Mao was dumbfounded and said, "Didn't that old man die before the founding of the Great Chu Kingdom!" ”

"It's true that he died, but I am in Zhang's Mansion where he died. Our young lady also grew up in the yard of the old lady and the old lady. The red lady saw Li Mao standing up and kept pacing in the torture room.

"After Miss's death, the people around Miss stopped contacting me, but I know that there must still be people who haven't left, and they won't just let the spies who need to go back. Sure enough, since three years ago, three more zigzag stones appeared under the window of the place where I lived, and I knew at that time that those people would not let me go so much and let me live a happy life. ”

"How do you get a message out to that leader?"

"When I see a stone, I go to the verandah on the side of 'Who Sits on the Pavilion', and the plank under the fourth pillar facing south can be opened, and there will be a letter in it telling me what to do." The red lady saw Li Mao with a disappointed expression, "I don't know who the person leading Lu Dao is, and I don't know what Lu Dao's identity is, I eat every letter, so I have no evidence to prove that what I said is true." ”

"The place where I sent the message was a rouge gouache shop called 'Hongyan' in Dongshi, and the proprietress was not the connector, but the lady who made the powder in the backyard of the proprietress shop was the connector. If you don't have an acquaintance coming to the store, you won't be able to see the fat powder lady. ”

The red lady then said, "My husband, daughter, and my brother really don't know. My brother knew that I had come to the Guogong Mansion with me, and I had married a steward, thinking that I had been doing well all these years, so he didn't quarrel about ransom me anymore. When he came to the door, I just wanted him to stay away, and I didn't want him to wade into this kind of troubled water, but this matter was known by the government, and he never returned to his hometown. ”

"My brother became a tenant in the house with my relationship, and then he planted the land well, and he was honest, Miss asked my aunt to arrange a good errand for him, I knew that Miss Lu Dao would not let him leave the house so easily, and he would simply die and he could still ask for this heart in the house. Miss said that she wanted to use my niece, I couldn't do it, my family's life was in her hands, so I had to follow ......"

Li Mao's face was dark, and the more he listened, the more confused he became.

"Sister-in-law keeps your niece, who is it for?"

"I don't know. The young lady later died, and no one knew what she was up to. ”

"Hongyan, three stones, the letter under the pillar......" Li Mao secretly wrote down these keys. If you leave the house, will they also send messages to one another? ”

"I don't know what to do, I used to only contact Miss and outside the house. Moreover, Miss didn't send a message back to Zhang's house later, and after the boss died, all the manpower was given to Miss, and outside, it seems that there is another wave of people who are not from home who are also in contact with Miss. I often go outside and contact people outside for my wife. After the young lady died, I don't know who these people were in and where they went. The red lady looked at Li Mao.

"That's all I know. For girls like me, there were originally a few around the young lady, but later the young lady died, and the lady accepted the dowry of the young lady, and sent the deed and people of the unmarried girl back to the Zhang family. So no matter how much you ask me, I can't answer. ”

Li Mao had already learned a lot of unexpected things, and things began to progress, so he nodded.

"I'll keep my word. I will send your family to a mass grave, and I will also ask Jingzhao Mansion to give you three a guide for the outcasts. Tongzhou is now accepting displaced people, you take the introduction, go to Tongzhou to find a random township to settle down, and don't come back in the future. ”

He opened a guide, knowing the name and identity, even if you want to find them again in the future.

Seeing that Li Mao really kept the contract, instead of killing her after learning all the information, the red lady exclaimed "Luckily" in her heart.

Two days later, the red lady's family of three wrapped in straw mats were pulled out, I heard that it was because the daughter of the Zhuang head who wanted to climb the bed was an assassin who wanted to assassinate the prince of the country, and after being found, he did not survive the torture and was beaten to death.

The head of the village and her daughter were both imprisoned, but the sentence of the criminal department was not severe, and the daughter only ate a few strokes of the buttocks cane. Their whole family was exiled for 3,000 miles and went to Yazhou in the south to farm.

This journey is very dangerous, and there are many miasma gases, but Yazhou itself is not a bitter cold place, and if you get there, it may not be a new beginning.

Outside the north gate of the capital, Lian Xiu supported her mother, who was staggering in disguise as an old woman, and looked at her father, who had not said a word since she came out, and said worriedly: "Mother, what is going on?" What ...... for?"

"Don't ask, don't ask anything, let's get out of here first." The red lady said in a hoarse old voice, "It's my mother who is sorry for you, but now life matters." ”

The second housekeeper Li dragged his heavy steps, looking at the wife who had turned into an old woman at some point, his heart was full of anger and resentment, and he couldn't wait to turn his head back and go to live the majestic days of the second steward of the Thaksin Mansion.

Lian Xiu helped her mother and asked her quietly:

"Mother, the medicine?"

"What medicine? What are you talking about? The red lady raised her eyes, "There is no medicine." ”

Lian Xiu's eyes widened in surprise.

The red lady glanced back at the capital.

The Xinguo Mansion owes her family two lives, and now she takes two, which is called fairness.

The Zhang family, which ruined her life, is not a good thing.

Li Mao did keep his word, but he was too naΓ―ve.

In the Xinguo Mansion, Li Mao's mind was still echoing the words of the red lady two days ago.

"Master Guogong, you let our family of three go, and gave us a family guide, and I will tell you another guess of mine." The red lady got the guide and said a terrible word. "I don't think Miss, it's not quite Madame's biological daughter."

"What did you say?!"

"It's just my own speculation, but you can probe in this direction, Master Guogong. When I was still in the Zhang family, I didn't see how close the young lady and the lady were, and the relationship with the eldest young master was only average, but I was very affectionate with the young master. I heard that when the young lady was young, she was raised in the yard of the old lady and the old lady, and grew up under the guidance of the old lady himself, and did not follow the lady in the house to learn the female red and boudoir training. It's the little young master, who was raised in the lady's room. ”

"I am Miss's personal maid, and I can see very clearly that the lord and lady of the family are all obedient to Miss, but they are a little too good. Also, the eldest young master rarely has physical contact with our young lady......"

"Maybe I'm overthinking, anyway, you just think I'm talking about speculation."

Is what this red lady said true or false?

If the sister-in-law is not the biological daughter of the lady in Zhangfu, whose daughter will it be?

"Come on, prepare the horses!"

Jikumo-in.

The lord of the palace was not at home, and the letters from outside could only be sent to the Zhiyun Courtyard for Mrs. Tai to read.

Gu Qing took the letter and looked at the front cover.

"Huh? A letter from Jingnan's hometown? Jun'er's family? Why don't you send it to the West Garden, why do you send it to the North Garden? Gu Qing asked the manzi, "What about the family who sent the letter?" ”

"It's still ahead."

"Call him over, I'm going to question."

A moment later, Li Lao Wu, dressed in cloth, walked in.

"Li Lao Wu, why are you? Didn't you go back after the New Year? ”

Li Lao Wu knelt down and kowtowed to Gu Qing, Gu Qing asked him to get up, he stood up quickly, and said with a wry smile:

"Mrs. Tai, our lady has sent the young master of the family to Beijing, begging the mansion to ......" he gritted his teeth, "I beg the mansion to stay, so that the young master Jun in our mansion can teach him to be motivated and take a fame test." ”

Gu Qing pinched the letter, and suddenly felt that what he was holding in his hand had become a hot potato.

The author has something to say: I saw your comments and comments, and I was really moved in my heart, as if I had been beaten with chicken blood. Unfortunately, the unit was busy in the afternoon, and this chapter has not been coded until now. Tomorrow, I will strive to write a fat and refreshing treat everyone!

The-stirring stick has gone to Beijing. This is the real bear child.

Small Theatre:

He touched it again unwillingly.

Boom!

Ahhh Will move!

Fetal baby: Mom, who touched my ass!
