Hu Zhe's death may be a good thing for many people in the capital.

Before his death, this Xuyang Marquis did absolutely bad things.

With the support of Queen Hu, there is no dust under his eyes, and he dares to punch and kick you to the hundred officials in the capital, no matter how high your grade is, and he doesn't take you in his eyes at all.

Now that he is dead, many officials who have accumulated hatred for him do not dare to celebrate openly, but there are also many people who have made an appointment with a few friends to go to the restaurant to drink and sing on the night of February 20, and some even have to stay up all night to thank God for finally sending the guy who has no one in his eyes to hell.

However, for the Hu family, February 20 was not intended to be a disaster.

At night, in front of Hufu, two white lanterns are hung.

The housekeeper of the Hu Mansion leaned against the door, dozing off.

At this moment, a group of people carried a coffin and walked to the door of Hufu.

A gust of cold wind wafted by, waking the butler.

The housekeeper of the Hu Mansion looked at the people coming towards him strangely, walked down the steps with a few menzi, and asked suspiciously, "Hey, hey, who are you?" Why did you carry the coffin to the door of my house? ”

"This uncle, we were ordered by Mei Gongzi to bring what your master wants the most."

In the team that delivered the coffin, one of the leaders stepped forward and said to the housekeeper of Hu Mansion with his fists in his fist.

When the housekeeper of the Hu Mansion heard this, he was even more puzzled, and he thought in his heart that this group of people had deliberately come to the mansion to make trouble.

So, he said to a few disciples around him: "You guys, blow them away for me." ”

A few men were about to step forward.

The leader immediately stopped and said: "This master, the stakes are very high, it is small to drive us away, and it is a big thing to delay the affairs of your family." ”

Seeing that he didn't hide his words, the housekeeper of Hu Mansion thought about it and said, "You wait for me here, I'll go back to the house to tell the master, and then settle accounts with you." ”

The leader nodded and said with a smile: "Eh, you go, we'll wait here." ”

After speaking, he did not mean to ask the person behind him to put the coffin down.

Hu Wei entered the palace to talk to Queen Hu, and the person in charge of the Hu Mansion now is the waiter Hu Tang.

After Hu Tang heard about the strange thing outside the door from the housekeeper of the Hu Mansion, he hurried out.

When he saw the coffin at the door, he looked at the person in front of him with some anger and said, "Who are you and what do you want to do?" What's in the coffin? ”

When the leader saw Hu Tang, he hurriedly handed over a note in his hand, and then said: "The son who asked us to send the coffin, he didn't say anything, but told me to wait, and when he was treated to the lord of Hu Mansion, he handed him this note." ”

Hu Tang glanced at the other party strangely, then took the note and opened it to take a look.

I saw that the note read:

Uncle Rongyu, the little nephew was a friend of Hu Gongzi before his death......

The words on the note are handsome and flying, and at first glance, people unconsciously admire the other party's superb level of calligraphy.

When Hu Tang saw the note saying that he had spent a lot of money to get Hu Zhe's body back from the Criminal Department and store it in the coffin, Hu Tang was not allowed to put down the coffin until Hu Fu was not allowed to put it down, Hu Tang suddenly burst into tears.

He pointed to the coffin with trembling bodies, and immediately commanded: "Hurry, quickly take the coffin into the mansion, quickly!" ”

The housekeeper of the Hu Mansion saw Hu Chao's anxiety, but he still didn't forget to ask, "Master, what's in this coffin?" ”

"Don't ask, don't ask!" Hu Chao glared at the housekeeper of Hu Mansion, then looked up at the coffin with the fake Hu Zhe's body parked in the mansion, gritted his teeth and said, "For a while, park this coffin in the lobby, and call a few henchmen to change the coffin with me." ”

Change the coffin?

The housekeeper of Hu Mansion didn't understand, but he hurriedly followed Hu Tang's meaning and did it.

Hu Tang held the note tightly in his hand, and when he saw the payment at the end, he read it in his mouth:

"Mei Changsu, Mei Changsu, when did Zhe'er know such a capable person? I have never heard of such a capable person in the capital, I can actually say that the person from the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, that Zhao Yi, who is a person who does not enter the oil and salt, can actually be moved by him, this person is really powerful, I have to enter the palace immediately to tell the eldest sister and the eldest brother. ”

After Hu Tang replaced the real and fake Hu Zhe's corpses, he entered the palace in a sedan chair overnight.

……

……

Kunning Palace.

After Empress Hu sent away Li Yanshi, the eldest son of King Cheng Li Xian, she said to Hu Wei below: "Da Lang, do you think King Cheng will agree to us?" ”

Hu Wei touched the jade plate in his hand and said, "Support his grandson and become the prince, I thought only a fool was unwilling to do it." Although King Cheng is old and frail, his brain is still shrewd, and now we need them just now, and they have no reason to refuse. ”

Empress Hu couldn't agree with this sentence, she nodded and said, "I think so too, but I just observed that Li Yanshi and saw that although he was very deferential to me, there was still a bit of anger in his eyes. ”

Hu Wei looked at her and asked, "Is Niangniang worried about Chengwang's family and it's not easy to control?" ”

Empress Hu nodded.

Hu Wei smiled proudly: "Niangniang can rest assured, although King Cheng has some power in the court, but in the end it is not as good as our Hu family, our Hu family looks up to his grandson, is to give him King Cheng's face, if he has any different intentions, how can he be our opponent." ”

When Empress Hu heard this, she somehow always felt that she had heard this sentence somewhere.

Yes, Hu Zhe also swore to her at that time that Li Yanxin was not to be afraid.

For the Cheng Wang family, the people of the Peach Blossom Guard can only monitor the periphery, and no one has ever been able to break into the Cheng Wang's mansion.

Therefore, Queen Hu is worried that Cheng Wang is not easy to control.

At this point, there is no other way to explore.

At this time, the palace maid outside the door came to report, saying that the waiter Hu Tang asked for an audience.

Empress Hu and Hu Wei looked at each other strangely, and then asked the palace maid to invite Hu Tang into the palace.

After Hu Tang walked in, Queen Hu asked him: "Erlang, you don't arrange the funeral at home, why did you enter the palace?" ”

Hu Tang said excitedly: "Niangniang, do you know that Zhao Yi of the Criminal Department made things difficult for us in every possible way and refused to return Zhe'er's body?" ”

As soon as she heard Hu Zhe's name, Queen Hu sighed, and then said: "I don't know, that Zhao Yi is really hateful, if it weren't for the fact that he has recently done a few major things for the imperial court, it would not be good to deal with him immediately, otherwise, I would have asked Taohuawei and several ministers in the court to jointly impeach him."

It's just a pity Zhe'er, Erlang, if you really can't say that Zhao Yi, this palace plans to let Taohuawei's people go out......"

"No, no need......"

Hu Tang interrupted Queen Hu's words, and then told Queen Hu about the strange thing that had just happened in front of Hu's mansion.

After hearing this, Queen Hu was surprised and said, "Zhe'er's friend? What's your last name? How come I have never heard of it? ”

Hu Wei on the side also followed: "Yes, I have never heard Zhe'er mention it. ”

Hu said: "Niangniang, the younger brother has also seen the true face of that person, but I know that this person's surname is Mei, his name is Changsu, he was originally a merchant of Qi State, and he was favored by our family Zhe'er. ”

Although the Hu family is the number one family in the capital, it is quite embarrassing that they were tortured by Li Lang to this point.

Empress Hu suddenly asked: "He is an outsider, how does he know that the one in the yamen is our family Zhe'er?" ”

Hu Tang looked at Queen Hu and said, "Niangniang, who doesn't know in the capital......"

Empress Hu was embarrassed, her face turned red, but she asked, "That Mei Changsu, didn't you say anything after you asked someone to send Zhe'er's corpse?" ”

Hu Tang thought for a while and said, "There is one, saying that when Zhe'er is in the first seven, he will definitely come to the door to worship." ”

Empress Hu bowed slightly, sighed, and then said: "Today, February 20th, Zhe'er was killed by that Li Yanxin yesterday, and February 28th is Zhe'er's first seventh, Erlang ......"

Hu Tang arched his hand and said, "Brother Chen, here." ”

Queen Hu said: "On the first seven days, the palace will dress up in disguise and go out of the palace to send a send-off to Zhe'er. ”

What the? The queen is going out of the palace?

Hu Wei hurriedly said: "Niangniang, although you love Zhe'er, but he is a junior in the end." ”

Empress Hu glanced at Hu Wei and said, "I understand what you mean, are you worried that Zhe'er won't be able to bear my farewell?" Da Lang, you are wrong, Zhe'er is also the only seedling of my Hu family after all, and it is my duty as an aunt to send him, not to mention, isn't that Mei Changsu also going too? I was expecting to meet this person that day. ”

When Hu Wei heard this, he understood that Queen Hu sent Hu Zhe was fake, and saw that Mei Changsu was real.
