When the Zongren Mansion came out, the sixteenth elder brother went to the beekeeping with Yaerjiang, and Wei Zhu happily received Yaerjiang's reward and went out of the city to return to the palace.

Although it was almost dusk, the sun had not yet set, and people were lazy and didn't want to open their eyes.

As we approached February, the weather was getting warmer, and the snow on both sides of the road was melting. Occasionally, you can see the half-branch magnolia exposed in the roadside wall, playing with flower bones, dispelling the chill of winter.

The sixteenth elder brother rode on a horse and walked side by side with Yarjianga.

Yaerjianga pondered for a while, and finally couldn't bear the curiosity in his heart, and asked: "Why does this matter between Yanshou and the Cao family still involve the eighth elder brother?" Hooray...... What does that mean? ”

When the sixteenth elder brother heard this, he shook his head and said, "I don't know, I haven't heard that there is anything to do with that side?" I'm also a Nahan, how can I be so alive, and the emperor's aunt thinks of the starling brother again? If it is like before, it is good to rest for a while, and after a long time, Huang Ama's anger is extinguished, and the starling may have a chance to turn around...... Now this will only make the father and son dissatisfied......"

In the end, he also had a bit of sadness in his words.

Although the eighth elder brother moved his mind that should not be moved, and committed a holy secret, but his flesh and blood are rich, why is this?

Thinking of the eldest brother and the abolished prince who are now circled, as well as the thirteenth elder brother who has been reduced to an idle clan, the sixteenth elder brother can only sigh helplessly.

The eldest son of the brave emperor who once made Huang Ama proud, the abolished prince who has been the prince of more than 30 years after the Yuan Dynasty, and the thirteen elder brothers who followed the holy car to the south and north at a young age, these three are the sons favored by Huang Ama.

In Huang Ama's heart, his son, like all the people in the world, must first be submissive to him, the emperor, and then he will occasionally put down the emperor's face and show a loving father.

The three most favored elder brothers, because they offended his emperor's authority, were circled by him, wasted, and cold.

Not to mention the eighth elder brother, who has never been close, can't make him treat him differently at all.

The courtiers after the "abolition of the prince" recommended the prince to make a farce, which made the eighth elder brother go to cover up and mingle in the team of seizing the heir openly.

More than half of the courtiers recommended it, and the name of this "virtuous king" was not in vain.

But it is a fan of the authorities, and half of the courtiers recommend it, what does this mean? Even before the crown prince was abolished, there would not be half of those who dared to pat their chests and say that they supported the prince.

Is the crown prince really indispensable? Except for private morality and misconduct, it is so useless?

University scholars Zhang Ying and Li Guangdi are the prince's concubines, and the emperor has been teaching by word and deed for many years, so he has not grown at all?

To put it bluntly, it's just that the emperor is used to being arbitrary, and he does not allow the power to be dispersed...... The sixteenth elder brother was thinking nonsense, and Yaerjianga was not idle, thinking that the eighth elder brother was stopped from paying silver and rice.

How is the eighth elder brother involved?

The one who instigated that stupid fool to play tricks was the eighth elder brother's person?

It's just okay, what is the eighth elder brother doing with all these hands and feet? The Cao family is not only the relatives of King Chunjun and King Pingjun, but the most important thing is that Cao Yin has returned to Beijing.

Although Cao Yin's title is just an uncle, he doesn't like to be lively, and he rarely goes out of the house to socialize, but anyone with a discerning eye should be able to see that the long live lord transferred Cao Yin back to the capital, just to let him be honored.

The Cao family has been in Jiangnan for many years, and some people have forgotten the relationship between the Cao family and the Long Live Lord...... If you want to step on the Cao family, you also want to see if you want to see if you want to follow the Long Live Lord. If the Holy Grace is there, if you act like this, what is it that is not looking for death?

It's just that everything has cause and effect, so which one is calculating the Cao family, and what is it for...... The beekeeping road is not far from the Zongren Mansion, and it is only a cup of tea, and the sixteenth elder brother and Yaerjianga have arrived...... Although Yan Shou confessed to the incident the night before, the case has not yet been decided, and it is not too difficult to see him.

When they entered the beekeeping mecca and saw Yan Shou, the sixteenth elder brother and Yaerjiang Adu couldn't help but change color.

Yan Shou hunched over, lying on his side on the ground, pain condensing on his face, and the person was completely out of breath. Beside him, there is a legacy.

Dead people don't speak. After confessing his guilt, he was afraid that he would be exposed by others and cause trouble to his son. That's why you use the method of "suicide in fear of sin" to kill yourself, right?

Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, and it is his great blessing to favor that bastard thing, and to have such parents.

He had already given Yanshou a general examination, there were no external injuries, and he had not drunk, so he did not die of poisoning.

I asked a few jailers who were walking around at the time, but they couldn't say clearly.

After a while, a jailer whispered: "Lord Belle hugged his stomach and shouted that it hurts, I'm afraid it's swallowing gold, right?" ”

When the sixteenth elder brother and Yaerjiang E'a heard this, their expressions became solemn.

After another half an hour, Lai Du and Long Keduo waited for the news to come, and they were very surprised to see the sixteenth elder brother here.

The adults in front of me, those in charge of the criminal department, those in charge of internal and external security, and those in charge of the sect room, it is quite appropriate to stay here. It's not appropriate to stay any longer.

It attracted the attention of the group of imperial histories who were staring at them and looking for trouble, which was greasy and crooked, and it was not disgusting enough.

Thinking of this, after the sixteenth elder brother met with several adults, he said goodbye and went back to the palace to go to the ......* Cao Jiadong Mansion, and the inner courtyard was in the upper room.

Seeing that his son came back again, Zhao Jiashi couldn't help frowning, and said, "It's been a few days, and you have to take a turn again, why hasn't your daughter-in-law returned?" Is the mother-in-law forced to stay, or is the daughter-in-law greedy for enjoyment and refuses to return?

Cao Songhan laughed twice and said, "Mother, my mother-in-law is okay, it's not that she forced it to stay, it's her son who coveted the wine and food in front of him, drank two more sips, and forgot to mention this stubble." It's not a few days left and right, and my son can go again after a while. ”

When Zhao Jiashi heard this, he frowned and said, "What is this called, I have already married two daughters-in-law, do you want me to take care of the housework?" How many things are going on in a day inside and outside here. If you feel sorry for your daughter-in-law, you forget your mother! ”

As she spoke, she was already a little angry.

Cao Song didn't want to chatter with his mother, so he diverged and said, "Mother has heard about the fire house in Pine Hutong the night before?" The one who lives there is the shopkeeper in the sister-in-law's shop. Ay. What is this called the world, she is a little woman who provokes anyone, and it is not because of the dim sum shop. Is it so easy to do business in this capital? If you make money, you will prevent others from being jealous, and if you don't make money, you will delay the rent for a year. ”

When Zhao Jiashi heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and said: "It's not all your good brother's good deeds, what kind of stewardship in these two mansions can't be found, but I want to call a little widow!" There are a lot of rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, and the matter is so big, I can't make any gossip about Qi Ming'er......"

* Eight Elder Mansion, study.

The eighth elder brother stood at the door, raised the curtain, and looked at the sky.

It is said that the west mountain falls, and only the afterglow of the sunset remains.

The eighth elder brother only felt that his head was a little dizzy, so he inhaled vigorously. Cheer yourself up.

On the bookcase in the study, there is a plate of bluegrass, and next to it is a half-drawn drawing.

After the eighth elder brother walked to the bookcase, he picked up the pen again, but he didn't know how to write. He put down his pen, sat down, looked at the plate of orchids in front of him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but feel a little sad. Is it an orchid, or is it a weed mixed in the orchid?

In the past three or two months, he has gone from frightened to indifferent to helpless, but he has become more and more silent and does not like to speak.

Thinking about it, the eighth elder brother was a little stunned.

When he came over, the anxious Ninth Elder Brother was already standing in front of him, and said hurriedly: "Brother Starling, the big thing is not good, the extension is swallowing gold!" ”

"Swallowed gold?" Eighth Elder Brother frowned and said, "When is it?"

"Just now, I heard that there was a legacy." Brother Jiu said: "This old fool, what are you doing with such a fuss?"

The eighth elder brother glanced at the ninth elder brother, and his expression was a little solemn.

"What's the matter, what is Starling thinking?" When the ninth elder brother replied, he heard the eighth elder brother ask: "Ninth brother, tell the truth with my brother, do you have your hands and feet in the matter over there in Pine Alley?" ”

"This ...... This ......" Brother Jiu waved his hand, and said innocently: "My good starling brother, these are your brothers, I am honest and tight." At this time, I was full of food and went to provoke the Cao family, didn't that add to the blockage of the old man? Although their shop is booming, they still have to look at Seventh Brother's side, and I can only look at it. ”

Eighth Elder Brother smiled bitterly, even if it was not the Ninth Elder Brother who did the tricks, but in the eyes of outsiders, this black pot was afraid that the Ninth Elder Brother would have to carry it...... * Cao Mansion, study.

The lights were already in place here, and Cao Yin and Mr. Zhuang were sitting cross-legged at the kang table. On the kang table, there are a few plates of delicate side dishes, as well as warm wine, and after two days of busyness, they finally have a clue, and the two of them are a little tired. Therefore, Cao Yin ordered the kitchen to send food to this side......
