The two forbidden soldiers walked into the cell and came to Zhang Zhongxin's side in a few steps, just as Zhang Zhongxin was lying on the ground now, but it was also a matter of trouble, and he said "offended", and the forbidden army raised the court staff and beat it down.

"Oops......" Zhang Zhongxin didn't understand what was going on at first, but he just thought that the forbidden army was forcibly pulling himself out by order, and when the board came, he reacted, this is a fight. As soon as the staff went down, he screamed in pain.

In fact, the forbidden army saw that he was the uncle of the country and the queen's younger brother, and he had already shown mercy to his subordinates, but Zhang Zhongxin said that the injury he suffered yesterday was not healed, so where could he stop it.

The old lady also came in with Zhang Fu, Zhang Shou and a gan servant, and when she heard her son's scream, she was so distressed. scolded Yue Su in his heart again, and at the same time did not forget to count his daughter.

"Crackling" After the forty court canes were beaten, Zhang Zhongxin was so painful that he almost didn't roll his eyes, and he couldn't stop cursing in his heart, what kind of world is this, and some people dare to fight Uncle Guo.

After the two forbidden armies finished fighting, they informed Liu Mingguo and went out. Liu Mingguo arched his hand at Zhang Zhongxin, who was lying on the ground and couldn't stop moaning, and said: "Uncle Guo, the villain is also acting according to orders, please don't be surprised." Then he turned to Mrs. Taikang, "Old lady, the little one has completed the decree, and the decree has just been read, as for whether the person wants to go or not, and it is not within the authority of the villain, I will not say much." The little one will return to the palace at this moment, and he will not be accompanied. ”

With that, he strode outside. Jin Chan stood in place, bowed down and said to the old lady: "Old lady, I don't know if you will take Uncle Guo away, if you don't want to leave, the little one will be closed." ”

The old lady was also anxious now, seeing the jailer's posture on the door, the old arms and legs hurriedly grabbed a few steps, entered the prison, squatted beside her son and cried, "My son, what kind of evil is this, your sister is the current queen, you are a dignified uncle, and someone dares to beat you." We must find a place to go, you go with your mother, don't suffer here, my mother will go to sue the royal court tomorrow. I have to cut that Yue Su with a thousand knives. ”

After saying that, he reached out to help his son. Zhang Zhongxin is in a terrible pain now, grinning at the slightest touch, tears flowing, "Mother, you must be the master for me." I've grown up this big, and no one has ever beaten me like this. It doesn't matter if the emperor beats the court staff, but I hate the Shuntian Mansion, and yesterday I dared to use a big punishment on me. Take me away, I don't want to stay in this hellish place anymore. ”

He is not stupid, he originally planned to force Yue Su to comply, but he didn't expect that people didn't care about him at all, if you don't want to leave, they will close the door. In the prison place, how could he be willing to stay for a moment longer.

The old lady hurriedly called to help, helping to support carefully, although it was cautious, Zhang Zhongxin was also screaming in pain.

After leaving the prison, Zhang Zhongxin was helped into the carriage, and everyone left in a hurry. As soon as I returned to the house, I heard from the servants in the house that the queen sent two imperial doctors to prepare to treat the injuries of the uncle, and now they are using tea in the side hall.

Hearing this news, the old lady's mood was a little smoother, at least this daughter still thought about this brother and knew to send the imperial doctor in time.

Zhang Zhongxin's injuries are all traumatic, and it is still easy for the doctor to go out. Apply the medicine, and then add a few pairs of oral and external medicines.

The old lady took care of her son, and immediately set off, intending to go to the palace, and it was a coincidence that before she could go out, the palace sent a eunuch to pass the decree, saying that the queen had summoned the old lady into the palace. This eunuch is Liu Mingguo again.

"I wanted to go to you, but you came to me first. When we meet, I must ask you, what did you say to the emperor. Now your brother is so badly injured, you have to give me an explanation! "Lady Taikang entered the Forbidden City with a heavy heart and came to Kunning Palace.

As soon as she entered the palace and saw her daughter, the old lady forgot the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, and said angrily: "Daughter, what is going on, you must give me an explanation today." Your brother was already beaten and bruised all over his body, good guy, and he was rewarded with forty court rods by the emperor, which didn't let your brother live! ”

"Mother, take your breath and come and sit." Zhang Yan calmly walked to her mother's side, helped her mother to a chair and sat down, and then sat aside by herself. I peeled an orange and handed it to my mother.

Seeing her daughter so considerate, the old lady was half of her daughter's resentment, and said in a slightly gentle tone: "Daughter, my mother knows that you are filial. Mother only has you and your brother two children, I am happy when I see the two of you are good, and if you two are not good, my mother will be sad. Now our family is also a relative of the emperor, everything is smooth, and outsiders have to take a look at it. But who wants to come to the capital, but your brother let Shuntianfu arrest him, and even tortured and beaten him, your brother is now covered in injuries, and it hurts to touch it, how can you let Wei Niang look at it......"

As she spoke, the old lady's tears flowed.

"Mother, just when you saw your brother being beaten, do you know why he was beaten?" Zhang Yan asked softly.

"It's not that Shuntian Mansion Yin doesn't take you in his eyes, and he is bold. I don't know if it's Uncle Guo today, I think he did it on purpose. Daughter, you must show the emperor this matter today, and let the emperor treat him well. The old lady said indignantly.

"Mother......" Zhang Yan said bitterly: "Why do you always think about this place, if my brother doesn't rob men and women in the restaurant, why should people arrest him and beat him." If he is innocent, you don't need to say it, I, the queen, must stand up for him and personally question Shuntianfu. But what is the truth, it is my brother who is molesting other people's daughters, so how can I be embarrassed to come forward to question others, I am the queen, my brother has done such ugly things, what kind of face do I have in the world. ”

In the end, Zhang Yan's words were sonorous and powerful, and the old lady was speechless.

It turned out that after Liu Mingguo had just returned to the palace, Zhang Yan called him to Kunning Palace to inquire carefully, understood the general situation, and knew his grievances. expected that his mother would definitely come to him to speak for his brother, so he sent Liu Mingguo out of the palace to summon him first.

"But...... But how can you say that it is also your brother, today's uncle, how can he be beaten by a small Shuntianfu without authorization, even if he is guilty, he must play the emperor, and the emperor will send it down. Mrs. Taikang thought of this reason again. This is also reasonable, Shuntianfu really has no right to beat the uncle without authorization.

"Mother, what you said is true, Shuntianfu really has no right to beat Uncle Guo, but people have already said it, I don't know that it is Uncle Guo, and there are Zhang Fu, Zhang Shou and my brother's handwritten charges, thinking that they are pretending to be relatives of the emperor. In this way, isn't it a vain fight after the fight, and those who don't know are not guilty. Zhang Yan explained.

"That was also forced by Shuntianfu, you go and tell the emperor, please ask the Criminal Department to retry this case and exchange your brother's innocence. Zhang Fu and the others were able to testify that it was Shuntianfu who made a move to force them to say so. "The old lady is still very stubborn.

Zhang Yan shook her head and said, "Mother, don't you still think that our family is embarrassed enough?" Do you really want to make my brother's molestion of other people's daughters all over the city, and everyone knows about it? To tell the truth, Yue Su is well-known for law enforcement in Yanjing City, this matter is a big trouble, can you move it down He said in two sentences, our Zhang family has been notorious since then. There is also the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, relatives are not allowed to interfere in politics, if they are re-referenced by the officials, the daughter will have no face to be the queen again, so she can only go to the emperor to ask for punishment and cut her hair for a nun. ”

As soon as she heard this, the old lady came back to her senses, as soon as this matter got out, it was so embarrassing, and from then on, the Zhang family was really upright for thirty miles. Especially with the daughter's last sentence to ask for punishment and cut her hair for a nun, the old lady was scared half to death. The glory of the family is all earned by the daughter, if there is no daughter as the queen, who will not be able to return to the liberation before the liberation. At this moment, she was in a hurry and stammered a little when she spoke, "Girl, girl, then, what do you say?" ”

"In fact, Yue Su said that his brother was pretending to be his uncle, which was meritorious and intended to protect the reputation of the Zhang family. Mother, you really hurt my brother when you make such a fuss. Now that the matter has come to this, I have no other way, if you want, go and apologize to Yue Su, if you don't want to, then that's it, don't mention it in the future. When my brother recovers from his injury, take him home as soon as possible and think about it behind closed doors, don't stay in Beijing anymore and cause trouble. Zhang Yan said indifferently.

"Good, good...... I listen to you, daughter. ”

*****************************************************

Shangshun Tianfu admitted his mistake to Yue Su, the old lady couldn't pull this face, and after returning home, she honestly stayed at home and never mentioned the matter again. Zhang Zhongxin asked once, if he wanted to avenge himself and vent his anger like this, he was scolded by his mother, and he didn't talk anymore.

Ten days later, the examination officially began, and the lifters who gathered in the capital from all over the world entered the Gongyuan one by one. Conduct the exam in a step-by-step manner.

The examination is quite strict, and candidates who are late will naturally never be allowed to enter the door.

At dusk, there was a young man on horseback who was riding a horse and rushing straight to the capital, and behind the child, there was a young man dressed as a scholar, riding a donkey and chasing after him.

"Xiao Jiu, hurry up, you won't be able to enter the city gate if it's too late, and you still have to take the exam today?" The boy in front turned around and shouted. This son is none other than Pei Yingjie, the Kaizi he met when Yue Su participated in the examination.

Pei Yingjie arrived in the capital a few days ago, and after the Gongyuan marked the registration, because he was okay now, he took the scholar Xiaojiu to the mountains and rivers outside the city. I was going to come back last night, but who wanted it to rain heavily and the road was impassable, so I delayed the trip. Now that the exam has begun, if you are someone else, you may not go, but he is confident that money can make the ghost grind, and he should still be able to enter the examination room with some money.

Xiao Jiu rode a donkey, where can he keep up, now the distance between the two is very far apart, because he was afraid of delaying Gongzi to enter the city, he had to shout: "Childe, I really can't keep up, you go to the city to take the exam, I'll wait for you in the Huguang Guild Hall." ”

"It's fine." Pei Yingjie was very anxious, no longer talking, and hurried up. Finally, in front of the gate of the city, I entered Yanjing City.

He has been to the Gongyuan and knows the path, and he is also running all the way after the capital.

As we approached Qipan Street, a carriage approached from the opposite side, surrounded by a group of attendants in black robes, who seemed to be well-trained and followed the carriage without any confusion.

Pei Yingjie went straight with his head covered, and the speed of the carriage was not slow, so he couldn't dodge it twice, and hit it directly. Fortunately, the horses of both families were not blind, and the emergency moment was slightly relieved, so there was no traffic accident.

Pei Yingjie was startled, but because he was in a hurry to go to the Gongyuan, he was about to leave, but now where can he go, the black-robed attendant "Hula" rushed up and surrounded him in the middle.

"What do you mean?" Pei Yingjie scolded and shouted.

At this time, I saw the carriage curtain lifted, and a person poked his head out, but this person was Wei Zhongxian, and the servant who followed him was naturally the son of Dongchang. This has to be put on hold in the past, and Wei Zhongxian killed him without even asking. But today Wei Zhongxian seemed to be in a good mood, and scolded: "You kid, hurry to the funeral?" ”
