Chapter 147: The Decline of the Zhao Family

The frost falls on the solar terms, the weather officially turns cold, everything is completed, the sun enters the ground, and the yin begins to condense........

Gu Xiaoman had another nightmare, and after waking up and sitting up, he found that the mattress was still cold, sighed lightly, and pulled the futon on his shoulders up again....

The carbon furnace not far away has gone out ....

When he opened his mouth, he was going to shout hibiscus, but when he saw that it was not yet dawn outside, he thought about it and got up by himself.

The cold charcoal stove gradually warmed up, she put her hands on the carbon light and roasted for a while, then walked to the desk next to the bed, on which was a jade plate green lotus incense burner.

She likes incense and is even better at mixing incense, because sometimes, incense can be used as a substitute for medicine and as a poison.....

Mo Qing taught her to recognize herbs and make dry incense, which was also used to pass the time during her recuperation, but she didn't want to, the more she learned, the more interesting it became, so that later she was asked to use some means.

But no matter how much she understands, she can't understand Mo Qing who taught her, so the incense in her room is personally blended by Mo Qing, and it is said that several rare medicines are added to it, saying that it can alleviate her nightmares, but after sleeping for half a year, it is not effective to sleep with that person... She sighed in her heart.

She took out the porcelain jar of incense pills from the dark compartment on the side, opened the lotus lid of the incense burner, and was about to put a few grains into it, when a faint smell made her hands feel uncomfortable....

Frowning, this is .... What does it taste like? Why haven't you smelled it before?

Since Chu Luo left, Xu was reluctant, or greedy for the smell he still had in the room, she hadn't lit incense for several days, and the smell here was definitely not the incense made by Mo Qing.......

She picked up the incense burner and leaned over but sniffed lightly, and there was a trance in her mind, she hurriedly held the desk with her hand to stabilize her body, and the qi and blood in her body began to surge.... When she realized what was wrong with her, two hot streams gushed out from the tip of her nose, she frowned, brushed her fingers, and sure enough.... Is it a nosebleed.....

This incense... Poisonous....

An hour later, the sky slowly brightened, but in the past few days, for some reason, Yaodu's head seemed to be shrouded by something, even if it was the hour, the sky was gray....

And I don't know if it's to cope with this weather, an explosive event also happened in the imperial court, and some officials reported that Zhao Xiangye privately mined iron ore and made pig iron.... Not only did he take out the evidence, but he also said that the address of the mine was accurate

When the emperor found out, he immediately sent the Red Eagle Army to investigate thoroughly, and two days later, a holy decree was issued, the Prime Minister's Mansion was copied, and everyone in the Zhao family was imprisoned.

Overnight, the Zhao family disappeared like a brilliant firework.....

After Zhao Wenbin received the news, he immediately asked people to call a carriage to go back, but there was no one in the Xiangfu for a long time, and the Xiangfu with its original lintel and exquisite courtyard became chaotic, and the people in the mansion were gone, and even the valuable things in the house were almost emptied.....

Zhao Wenbin limped and faded into it step by step, the more he walked, the more his heart sank, how could this be.... By the way, grandmother... What about grandmother ....

Just as he was thinking about it, an old man in his fifties suddenly ran over.

"Oops... Young master, why are you back..."The old man was startled and quickly pulled him inside.

Zhao Wenbin grabbed him and said, "Uncle Zhang, where is my grandmother...."

Uncle Zhang wiped away his tears: "Old lady. They took them away......"

They... Referring to the Duya?

Zhao Wenbin stared, these people, don't even let go of such an old lady?

turned around and walked out, Libera couldn't hold back, and he didn't dare to shout loudly for fear of attracting others, so he could only hang his head and sigh.

After Zhao Wenbin got into the carriage, he asked the coachman to go to the capital yamen immediately, but after thinking about it, he has no silver on his body now, let alone seeing his grandmother, I am afraid that he can't even enter the capital yamen.....

After thinking about it for a while, he asked the coachman to turn around and go to his cousin's house instead, his cousin's family name is Cheng, his mother is Zhao Qingshan's distant cousin, in fact, he is also the kind of distant relative who has almost no blood relationship, but back then, when Cousin Cheng's father first came to Yaodu, it was Zhao Qingshan who helped him and let him mix up with an idle official position, and then the Cheng family has been in contact with them, and this Cheng cousin has a good relationship with him.

When he arrived at Cheng's mansion, Zhao Wenbin saw that Cheng's cousin was just going out, and he immediately limped up.

"Cousin, cousin....."

But who would have thought that after Cousin Cheng saw him, he immediately turned around and went back.

There was a family member guarding the door and not letting him in, so he had to let the family go in and report it, but after a while, the family came out and said that Young Master Cheng didn't know him.

Zhao Wenbin understood now, although he had never been mixed with officialdom, but in a place like Yaodu, even if he was a gentleman, he was mixed up under various exclusions and various forces, how could he not understand what the Cheng family was doing now?

immediately pushed the family away, and when the family saw that he dared to make a move, he was not polite.

Zhao Wenbin is Chu Luo's apprentice, although his foot is injured, it is more than enough to beat a family, and when the family is wailing on the ground, he limps into the door, and sure enough, the cousin Cheng is hiding behind the door.

Seeing that Zhao Wenbin dared to make a move, he had already called someone over, and said, "Zhao Wenbin, don't deceive people too much..."

Zhao Wenbin smiled angrily: "Am I deceiving people too much? Or did you once fight with dogs, but now you are not even as good as dogs? ”

Cousin Cheng was suddenly angry, holding a stick and said: "Zhao Wenbin, don't be embarrassed, the emperor copied your Zhao family, and now everyone in the Zhao family is in prison, I didn't go to the capital to report you It's already taking care of the past....."

Zhao Wenbin sneered: "Then it seems that I have to thank you?" As he spoke, he picked up a flower pot at hand and threw it over.......

At the door of Guiwei Fang, Gu Xiaoman was holding the soufflé he had just bought, and he ate it without a bite....

She never thought that it would be so difficult to quit drinking, and she could see seductive celadon everywhere in her fun, which caused her to be tempted all the time, so she had no choice but to pull Jiang Yao out to divert her attention........

Jiang Yao came out of it with another pack of walnut crisps, and was about to say something to Gu Xiaoman, when a carriage ran by, the curtain flew up, and she looked at the people inside.

"Hey, isn't that Zhao Wenbin? How did he come out? ”

Gu Xiaoman turned around and only saw the tail of a carriage.

Zhao Wenbin? Isn't his foot still hurt? What are you doing here?

Just thinking about it, his hand was pulled by Jiang Yao: "Let's go, go over and take a look....."

The carriage did not go far, and when it turned a corner, it stopped at the door of a large house.

When Jiang Yao dragged Gu Xiaoman to arrive, he saw that Zhao Wenbin was holding the collar of the doorkeeper and flicking it back, and then limped in anger.

The two stood on the corner of the opposite street, Jiang Yao shook his head while eating the walnut crisp in his hand and said, "Tut-tut, look at that, I'm afraid I'm going to suffer after I go in..."
