In the Hou Mansion of Hejian, a group of servants stood in front of the second lady Yuan Wanqiu, the third lady Yunyan, and the female steward Mang Chong, who knew that the second lady was weak and the third lady was from a humble background, so he said to everyone on their behalf: "Today, we are invited to the palace and I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse, but no matter the blessing or misfortune, we must firmly believe in it, but as long as the Hou Ye is still there, we will be fine." In addition, don't tell anyone about everything in the house, the Hou Ye's relatives are only two ladies, and there is no one else, everyone remembers. ”

"Remembered." Everyone knows that Miss Mangzhong is talking about Shang Wan'er, although Shang Wan'er has almost lived in the palace with Xuanyuan Chenghua this year, and people in the mansion rarely see her, but everyone in the mansion knows that the lord has a righteous sister.

Mang Chong nodded to the two ladies, and the two finally put their minds at ease, Zhang Xiaowu was originally an orphan, and the only people close to him were the two ladies and his godsister Shang Wan'er. Yunyan reminded everyone not to mention it, and because Zhang Xiaowu was very good to the servants on weekdays, everyone knew that the servants Kuhu swore to keep it a secret and would not divulge anything about Shang Wan'er.

Yuan Wanqiu also asked people to distribute their family wealth to everyone, and told them that once they encountered misfortune, the people in the house could disperse on their own, and the money was severance money, and everyone did not have to tie it to this big tree and wait for death. The servants did not want to disperse, and they all said that they would stay in the mansion and wait for the Hou Ye to return, and Mang Chong said that you would stay in the mansion only for fear that you would be affected by the disaster of the Hou Mansion in the future, but the servants expressed their willingness to live and die with the Hou Ye and the Hou Mansion, and the two ladies were immediately moved to tears.

In the end, Yuan Wanqiu said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the lord often says that you are also born and raised by your father, and your limbs and facial features are no different from the noble royal family, even if you leave the mansion, he doesn't want everyone to practice themselves in the future." How will you live in the future? The people who went out of the Hou Mansion in Hejian? In the future, the waist will be straightened, don't fall into the reputation of the Hou Ye. ”

"Yes."

Yuan Wanqiu let Mangzhong stay in the mansion again? Yunyan also said, "Yes, sister? You don't have to accompany us, you haven't married yet? There is no need to accompany us into the palace to receive death. ”

Mang Chong shook his head and said: "I will follow you into the palace to serve you, and you can't lack a messenger by your side." ”

Wanqiu said: "The master has always treated you like a sister? How can anyone think of you as a messenger? No matter what you say about him, he is smiling slightly, how can you see yourself as a subordinate. ”

Mang Chong smiled and said with tears: "How can I not know that I have known the general for more than six years? Don't you know that he treats me like a relative? Why? I have to accompany you and my two sisters-in-law. ”

The three of them cried together, and then left the Hou Mansion, and saw Li Cunyuan standing at the door, Mang Chong stared at him and suddenly said, "Li Junhou is okay." ”

Li Cunyuan didn't remember mangzhong for a long time? And after so many years, Mangzhong has long grown from a thin little girl to a fat girl? He was completely impressed, but who could call him Li Junhou? It must be the old man of yesteryear. He wondered, "Are you?" ”

"In the past, when Li Jun was under the account of General Cheng, how much did my lord have dealings with the general? The two of you also cherish each other and become close friends? The lord often says? Li Junhou and his eldest brother are the dragons and phoenixes among the people, and they are the ones who led the army to expel the dogs and make immortal feats. Mang Chong reminded, and then smiled and said: "I hope Li Junhou will never forget the ideals that he told my master in the past." ”

Li Cunyuan's face was suddenly flushed, and he suddenly remembered that this maid was the maid who served left and right when he and Zhang Xiaowu were drinking and chatting together, but he didn't expect that she was still in the Hejian Hou Mansion now. He nodded and said, "You are just a member of the palace, so you don't have to go with the two ladies." ”

Mang Chong said: "I am the righteous sister of the Hou of Hejian, and I am the steward of the Hou Mansion of Hejian, how can I not accompany the two ladies when they enter the palace?" ”

Li Cunyuan approached her and whispered, "Go, nine deaths." ”

Mang Chong said unconsciously: "The righteous sister of the Hou of Hejian, how can she be greedy for life and afraid of death. ”

Li Cunyuan admired it in his heart, and then asked people to carry the sedan chair over, and led the three of them into the imperial city to the Tai Hospital. Dong Zhen, the director of the Tai Hospital, arranged the best room for them early, and there was no lack of warmth, nor a lack of food and drink. Everyone in the Tai Hospital knew that they were the family members of Zhang Xiaowu, the Hou of Hejian, and how could they dare to treat them badly, although they were under house arrest, they did not suffer any grievances, but the people of the Tai Hospital forbade them to contact people.

After Emperor Dade killed the four families of Lu, Xiang, Shi, and Shi, he ordered the Su family to be punished, even if Su Yu's father and eldest brother had already parted ways with him, they were also arrested by Emperor Dade. In order to survive, Su Yu's eldest brother Su Jing specially reported that his second brother Su Yu was corrupt and perverted the law to collude with Hejian Hou to try to rebel, and personally brought people to Su Yu's house.

Su Jing saw Su Yu's home, counted it carefully, and found that Su Yu's two sons were not here, and was about to expose it, but when he saw his younger siblings staring at him with red eyes, he suddenly felt weak and stopped talking. He found Su Yu's correspondence with Zhang Xiaowu over the years at Su Yu's house.

Su Yu naturally said a lot of things in the White Tiger Army back then, but most of them were about the war situation and people's livelihood.

The correspondence between the two was immediately sent to Emperor Dade's table, and after Emperor Dade read a few articles, he slapped the table and said angrily: "Okay, when he was a silver guard, he was worried about the war in Jiangnan, his ambition is not small, his ambition is not small, this Su Yu family will be killed......"

"Your Majesty, no." Gu Yong stood up in time to object, "Su Yu is dead, the Su family doesn't know about it, and he won't die yet." ”

"Except for Su Jing, the rest of the people were all executed." Emperor Dade could not refute.

The ministers of the imperial court were panicked, for fear that Emperor Dade would investigate the fact that they had taken refuge in Zhang Xiaowu. But fortunately, at this time, Gu Yong also fought on the basis of reason no matter what, and Li Cunyi also supported it strongly, and the strength of the two was enough to make Emperor Dade jealous, so he stopped his revenge plan.

The hundred officials were relieved, and then the Great Emperor asked the hundred officials to prepare for the Spring Festival of the fourth year of the Great Virtue, to make the Dragon Capital City happy, and the hundred officials had to please in every possible way, and fulfilled the wish of the Great Emperor and prepared to go. In fact, in addition to the two major events that happened at the end of the year, one is that the White Tiger Army forced Longdu, and the other is that the Inuyi broke through the Two Wolf Pass, the whole Dade said that the wind and rain were smooth, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the income of the imperial court did not decrease with the exemption of agricultural taxes.

It's just that now that Inuyi has broken through the barrier and gone south, the world is shocked, and the children in Longdu City have drawn one ding to the north to expel Inuyi, and how many people can be happy. Helplessly, Emperor Dade asked to celebrate the New Year, so the people had to pretend to be happy, and their hearts were still anxiously waiting for the news from the front, looking forward to the safe return of their sons.
