"Zhang's dead?"

Wan Zicheng, director of the First Bureau of Investigation, bowed his head tremblingly.

"It's frustrating!"

Zhu Yunwen said secretly.

Today is the third day of the Lunar New Year, and it is a festive day for the emperor to entertain the princes and princes of the Manchu Dynasty.

seemed to feel the emperor's dissatisfaction, and Wan Zicheng lowered his head.

Alas!

Last time, I didn't report in time and was reprimanded, this time I reported in time, but the timing was wrong, and I guess I would be reprimanded, but I can't blame the emperor, I can only blame myself for bad luck, and I also have to blame that Zhang Jinse died at a bad time!

Soon, Zhu Yunwen shook his head and put aside the emotions just now, he felt that he seemed to be too cold-blooded, but at this moment, a thought suddenly came to his mind: "Zicheng, how did the Zhang family die?" ”

"I heard that he died of illness."

"Sick to death? How old is she? ”

How big?

Wan Zicheng is a little big, what's wrong with the emperor? How do you inquire about the age of the courtier's wife?

"Maybe thirty or so!"

Wan Zicheng hesitated for a moment, and said with some uncertainty.

"Oh,"

Zhu Yunwen was silent for a while, and said, "You send someone to investigate, how did the Zhang family die?" Does it have anything to do with Shao Yun? ”

Shao Yun? Yes?

Wan Zicheng involuntarily opened his mouth wide and looked up at the emperor, but found that the emperor was staring at him, so frightened that he quickly lowered his head.

"Obey the order!"

"Check it out for me? I need to know before the feast is over, understand? ”

"Yes! Be! I understand! ”

After Zhu Yunwen finished speaking, he immediately turned around and left, Wan Zicheng gave a salute, and then hurriedly ran out, the time was urgent, only two or three hours at most, if you don't hurry, you can't do it!

......

"Your Majesty, the ministers of the Zhang family have inquired clearly."

"Hmm!"

"Zhang's death should have nothing to do with Shao Yun, her health has always been bad, and after Shao Yun returned to Beijing, she also asked the Imperial Doctor Lan of Taitai Hospital to see her, but Imperial Doctor Lan couldn't do anything about it."

"According to Imperial Doctor Lan, Zhang's has been depressed for many years, which has led to depression in the heart, and now it is even more broken, even if he takes care of it, I am afraid that he will only live for a few months, and now he is dead, in fact, it is normal."

"Oh, that doesn't have anything to do with Shao Yun?"

Hearing this, Zhu Yunwen nodded and said.

"It should be, yesterday afternoon, Zhang's and Shao Yun also played a song "Xiaoxiang Shuiyun" in the garden of Shaofu, which is said to be the song they played together when they were in love in the past...... It should have nothing to do with Shao Yun. ”

"Xiaoxiang Water Cloud"?"

Zhu Yunwen sighed slightly: "The song of their love turned out to be "Xiaoxiang Water Cloud"? I really don't understand what they think? It's so unlucky, it seems that I am too worried! ”

......

"Liu Zhen, you go to Shao Yun's house, give Mrs. Zhang's second grade, another thousand gold coins, fifty brocades, and other ......" Zhu Yunwen thought for a while and said, "By the way, you go and ask the queen and listen to her arrangement!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

......

Shao Fu.

Shao Yun and his two sons, seven-year-old Shao Bingyi and five-year-old Shao Binglin all wore filial piety hats to welcome guests at the door, and their little faces were red in the cold wind......

There were not many people who came to mourn in the morning, because most of the courtiers and ministers attended the annual banquet in the Fengtian Palace, and many people didn't even know about it.

However, after the banquet, there were not many people who came to mourn, most of them were Shao Yun's classmates in martial arts, such as Huguang Dusi Tan Yuan, Wu Anbo Zhang Fu and a few others.

But around 3 p.m., the situation changed abruptly.

The envoy in the palace came, it was Liu Zhen, the chief eunuch of the emperor's side, who brought the emperor's holy decree and the queen's decree, and comforted Shao Yun's family......

This is like a signal, the nobles in Beijing have been dispatched, rushed to the Shao Mansion to condole, for a time, the door of the Shao Mansion crown covers, the door roll call continued......

"The Yiguo Mansion came to condole!"

"The Liguo Mansion came to condole!"

"The Duke of Wei came to condole!"

......

"Lord Hu, the envoy of Annan, came to offer condolences!"

What the? Annan?

The people who were eating tea and chatting in the back hall raised their heads one after another, looked out, and saw a middle-aged official wearing a scarlet official uniform with a slightly dark complexion walking in, and under the guidance of Shao Yun's younger brother Shao Qi, he went to the spirit to offer incense and worship three times......

"Envoy of Annan, please go this way!"

Hu Shuangxuan slowly walked into the back hall, swept left and right with his eyes, and walked to Shao Yun first: "General Shao, please mourn!" ”

"Thank you!"

After a few words of greeting, Hu Shuangxuan turned around and hugged his fist at Zhang Fuyi next to him: "Wu Anbo is in front, the lower officials are polite here!" ”

"Envoy Annan, you are too polite, you don't dare to be a messenger!"

"Deserve it! Well deserved! ”

In the face of Zhang Fu's politeness, Hu Shuangxuan said with some excitement: "The day before yesterday, Xia Guan went to the uncle's mansion and planned to meet the uncle, but it is a pity that Shuangxuan was blessed and did not see the uncle, I didn't expect to have the opportunity to meet the uncle today, it is really a blessing for three lives!" ”

"Huh,"

Zhang Fu smiled: "Thank you Hu Envoy for your love, but Zhang Fu is just a pawn of His Majesty, and he is not a great character, I am afraid that the envoy will be disappointed!" ”

"Nope! No! Uncle ran thousands of miles, wiped out Warat and Mongolia in one fell swoop, and established immortal feats, if it wasn't for the uncle being too humble, he should have been the respect of the Hou Ye now! In the heart of Xia Guan, the uncle can be called the dragon and phoenix among the people, whether it is his merit or character, and he is a handsome man in the world, so Xia Guan hopes very much to make friends with the uncle, and hopes that the uncle will not hesitate to give advice! ”

When Hu Shuangxuan and Zhang Fu were talking, the people around them gradually stopped talking, and turned their heads to look at the two.

Zhang Fu was silent for a while, then hugged his fists and said: "What the envoy said, Zhang Fu is ashamed to take it seriously, all the achievements are caused by His Majesty's heavenly might, and the last general is just fortunate to participate in it!" ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Fu suddenly turned his face blank: "Lord Messenger, I'm really sorry, my sister has just passed away, Zhang is sad in her heart, and she really has no intention of chatting, I hope your lord will forgive me!" ”

After speaking, Zhang Fu turned around and said, "Brother-in-law, I'll go back first for my brother, and I'll talk about it another day, okay?" ”

"Well, okay, I'll send my brother out!"

Shao Yun nodded, got up and sent Zhang Fu out, while the others also got up to say goodbye.

So when Shao Yun came back, only Hu Shuangxuan was left in the back hall, sitting on a chair with a very ugly face.

......

Inn.

"Alas!"

Hu Shuangxuan sat on the chair, looked at the pen and paper in front of him, and sighed heavily.

Unlike the long-sleeved dancing of the former envoy Hu Pingkang, Hu Shuangxuan is not sociable, and he can replace Hu Pingkang, the main reason is that he is Hu Jiyak's distant nephew and has won Hu Jiyak's trust.

Hu Pingkang was ineffective and was put on the spot by Daming, which made Hu Jiyak extremely angry.

The Ming Dynasty sent troops to escort Chen Tianping, landed on the coast, announced the relocation of the capital to Anhai City, and ordered Hu Jiyak to go to the court, which made Hu Jiyak in a dilemma, so he could only agree on the surface, but he delayed due to serious illness, and at the same time secretly actively dispatched troops, and at the same time sent Hu Shuangxuan to Daming to inquire about the news, hoping to learn the true intentions of the Ming court.

It's just that Hu Shuangxuan's investigation was not successful, and the Ministry of Rites directly hung him there and ignored him; And when he came to visit the noble courtiers, most of them were not shirked, and even if he saw it, there was no valuable news.

The death of Shao Yun's wife this time made Hu Shuangxuan see the opportunity to come to the door to offer condolences, Shao Yun would not refuse, so that he would have the opportunity to meet a group of courtiers, especially Wu Anbo Zhang Fu, who was said to be sent to Annan, maybe there would be unexpected gains.

Sure enough, Hu Shuangxuan did have a harvest, but unfortunately, it was not what he wanted.

After pondering for a long time, Hu Shuangxuan spread out the paper, studied the ink, picked up the pen, and wrote on the paper:

"The Emperor:"

"The minister is incompetent!"

“......”
