Chapter 238: Hiding a knife in a smile
At dusk the next day, a carriage stopped in front of the courtyard where the Wu family was located, and a middle-aged man with a big belly got out of the carriage and led a middle-aged woman into the courtyard, and a maid followed behind the two, carrying a lot of supplements in her hands. It is recommended to read novels, read books, and read the Internet
This middle-aged man with a big belly is Zhao Yu in the priest of the Ministry of Rites, and when he learned that Zhao Yu was coming, Wu Shaoqing, who was massaging the old lady in the house, hurriedly greeted him and invited Zhao Yu and his wife in.
After the Wu family was smashed, the Hanlin Academy sent people to renovate it, and now the doors, windows and furniture of the Wu family have been completely renewed, and they are all purchased by the Hanlin Academy, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.
Zhao Yu had already asked his wife to visit the old lady at Wu's house yesterday, and today he specially came to visit with gifts, which shows the depth of his friendship with Wu Shaoqing.
Because Zhao Yu came, Wu Shaoqing's wife asked his eldest son Wu Hai to go outside to buy a few snacks to entertain Zhao Yu, but was stopped by Zhao Yu.
Soon, the guys in the restaurant delivered the wine and food ordered by Zhao Yu, and slowly set up a table, Zhao Yu and Wu Shaoqing talked about the wine, and the atmosphere of the scene was relaxed and warm.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, a sudden thing happened, Zhao Yu, who was talking and laughing with Wu Shaoqing, suddenly fell down from his seat, rolled his eyes, and lay on the ground trembling all over, foaming at the mouth.
"Brother Zhao, Brother Zhao?" Wu Shaoqing was taken aback when he saw this, and hurriedly leaned over to check, he had been friends with Zhao Yu for many years, and it was the first time he had seen Zhao Yu like this.
"Quick, go get a doctor." Zhao Yu didn't react at all, just trembling there, and there was more and more white foam in his mouth, which made Wu Shaoqing couldn't help but be quite worried, and hurriedly said to Wu Hai.
Without waiting for Wu Hai to go out, Zhao Yu, who had been trembling, suddenly quieted down, and lay on the ground with his eyes closed, as if he was dead.
"Brother Zhao?" Wu Shaoqing's heart sank when he saw this, and tentatively probed his hand to Zhao Yu's nose, and then relieved his mouth, Zhao Yu still had a snort.
At this moment, Zhao Yu suddenly opened his eyes, stood up from the ground with a sudden, and glanced at the people in the room who were looking at him with concern with a blank face, his eyes were a little dull.
"Strangle you, strangle you, scourge!" In the end, Zhao Yu's eyes fell on Wu Shaoqing's body in front of him, his eyes widened, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Wu Shaoqing's neck, and said viciously.
Zhao ...... Brother Zhao ......" Zhao Yu was obese and his hands were also powerful, Wu Shaoqing suddenly felt a huge sense of suffocation, and couldn't help but struggle hard, wanting to push Zhao Yu away, but he couldn't succeed.
Seeing this situation, Wu Hai hurriedly hugged his two younger brothers, and the three young men used the strength of milk to break Zhao Yu's hands holding Wu Shaoqing.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yu pushed away Wu Hai, who grabbed his right arm, picked up the wine jug on the wine table on the side and smashed it on the forehead of Wu Shaoqing, who was standing in front of him and coughing constantly covering the pinched place.
With a crisp sound, the wine jug shattered, and blood fell from Wu Shaoqing's cheek with the blood.
Wu Shaoqing didn't have the slightest defense, snorted, covered his wound and stepped back.
"Kill you, I'm going to kill you, scourge!" Wu Shaoqing's right palm was cut by the broken wine jug fragment and was bleeding, his brow furrowed slightly, and then he waved the wine jug fragment in his hand and shouted to Wu Shaoqing, but was pressed to the ground by Wu Hai's three brothers.
"Kill you, kill you scourge." Zhao Yu struggled hard, and at the same time glared viciously at Wu Shaoqing, who was already bleeding, his face was a little hideous.
"This ...... What's going on? Seeing this, Zhao Yu's wife was already frightened, and asked Wu Shaoqing with a pale face, Zhao Yu was still okay just now.
"Dad, I think Uncle Zhao seems to be evil." At this time, Wu Hai, who was holding Zhao Yu's right arm firmly, couldn't help but say to Wu Shaoqing that Zhao Yu's abnormal reaction at this time had no other reason to explain except for evil.
"Evil?" Wu Shaoqing was stunned when he heard this, to be honest, he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but he couldn't explain the scene in front of him.
"Dad, go and get some filthy things, I have heard that the filthy things will ward off evil spirits." Wu Hai then remembered something and shouted at Wu Shaoqing.
"Quick, go get the filth." Wu Shaoqing saw Zhao Yu staring at him with a hideous expression, and he didn't care much, so he hurriedly ordered his wife and daughter-in-law on the side.
Wu Shaoqing's wife hurriedly walked towards the toilet when she heard this, while Wu Hai's daughter-in-law thought for a while and entered the inner room, and came out again after a while, carrying a white belt in her hand, with some red marks on it, and threw it at Zhao Yu's head and hung it on Zhao Yu's face.
The white belt was a little warm, exuding a fishy smell outward, Zhao Yu's eyes suddenly revealed an unnoticeable depressed look, he recognized this white belt as the menstrual belt used by women when they came to Tianhua, and the red marks on it were definitely women's filth, which could be described as the most filthy thing in the world.
Without waiting for the people around to reflect, Wu Shaoqing's wife walked in with a stinky crockpot in her hand, which was the feces she scooped from the latrine, ready to splash on Zhao Yu's body.
Seeing this, a trace of panic flashed in Zhao Yu's eyes, he was unlucky enough to be thrown in the face by the menstrual belt, wouldn't it be unlucky if he was poured with feces again, and then screamed, and lay on the ground with his eyes closed.
Seeing this, Wu Shaoqing's wife couldn't help but stop, looked at Wu Shaoqing suspiciously, didn't know whether to splash the feces in the crockpot, and waited for him to make an idea.
"Brother Zhao, Brother Zhao?" Wu Shaoqing waved his hand at his wife, ignoring the injury on his forehead, leaned down, covered the wound with one hand, and gently pushed Zhao Yu with the other.
"How did I sleep on the floor?" After pushing a few times, Zhao Yu slowly opened his eyes, woke up leisurely, glanced around at Wu Shaoqing and the others around him, and asked Wu Shaoqing with a confused expression.
Subsequently, Zhao Yu reached out and took off the menstrual belt hanging on his face, and when he saw clearly what he was holding in his hand, he was taken aback, and threw it out with a shake of his hand.
Wu Hai's wife picked up the menstrual belt that was thrown to the ground with a red face, and walked out quickly with her head down, if it wasn't for the urgency of the situation just now, she wouldn't have taken out such a shameful thing.
"How so?" Zhao Yu was then helped to sit on the chair, he didn't seem to have a trace of what happened just now, after listening to Wu Shaoqing, who was wrapped in bandages on his head, after the previous scene, he couldn't help but show a stunned look on his face, as if he didn't believe that he could do that kind of unbelievable thing.
"Is it really evil?" Then, Zhao Yu muttered to himself again, looking dazed.
"Dad, could it be that demon who did it?" At this time, Wu Hai on the side couldn't help but ask angrily, this kind of thing must only be done by a person like Venerable Yuan Xia, in order to take revenge on Wu Shaoqing for impeaching him.
"Brother Wu, you have to be careful, that Venerable Yuan Xia is really a bit evil, I heard that the emperor is obedient to him." Zhao Yu frowned when he heard this, and opened his mouth to remind Wu Shaoqing.
"It's just a side-door, why be afraid?" Wu Shaoqing sneered, since he dared to impeach Master Yuanxia, he naturally had already put life and death out of the way.
"Your Majesty?" Zhao Yu was about to open his mouth to persuade Wu Shaoqing again, when he suddenly remembered something, his face couldn't help but change, and he said in surprise.
"Brother Zhao, what's the matter?" Wu Shaoqing saw Zhao Yu's color change, and couldn't help but look at him, and he didn't understand his intentions for a while.
"Do you remember that some time ago, Zhang Wang, the steward of the imperial dining room, knocked on the drum and reported that he suspected that the Venerable Master Yuanxia had used demon magic to murder the emperor, which made the emperor's food taste change greatly?"
Zhao Yu pondered for a moment, and looked at Wu Shaoqing with a stern expression, "I originally thought this was just nonsense, but Zhang Wang died inexplicably, coupled with what happened just now, this Venerable Yuanxia really doesn't look simple." ”
"How did I forget about it?" After Zhao Yu's reminder, Wu Shaoqing suddenly came back to his senses, and couldn't help but reach out and pat his forehead, so that the Venerable Yuan Xia and Emperor Hong Xi were connected, wouldn't that mean that Emperor Hong Xi was in danger now?
"If the Venerable Yuan Xia, who is of unknown origin, really murdered the emperor with demon methods, then the Ming Dynasty will be in danger!" Zhao Yu quietly glanced at Wu Shaoqing, whose expression was becoming more and more solemn, and said worriedly, "It's a pity, Venerable Yuanxia is now the emperor, and you and I can't shake him in the slightest." ”
"Such demons can't stay in the palace!" Hearing that Zhao Yu mentioned Emperor Hongxi and the Ming Dynasty, Wu Shaoqing's eyes flashed coldly, and he said coldly, how could he sit back and watch the Venerable Yuanxia harm Emperor Hongxi and Daming?
"Brother Wu, Yuan Xia is powerful, and we don't have real evidence in our hands, how can we move him at all, you must not mess around, so as not to be harmed by him!" Zhao Yu's eyes flashed with joy when he heard this, and then he advised him with a concerned expression.
"Death is heavier than Mount Tai, and it is lighter than Hongmao, if the life of the next can make the emperor see through the true face of that demon, he would rather die!" Wu Shaoqing knew that Zhao Yu had good intentions, but he had made up his mind, and he could never change it, so he said solemnly.
"Alas!" Zhao Yu couldn't help but sigh, and an imperceptible smile flashed from the corner of his mouth.
On the way home, Zhao Yu leisurely leaned on the carriage of the carriage and closed his eyes to recuperate, and the five fingers of his right hand rhythmically beat the beat on his legs, looking very relaxed.
"Master, you said that the Wu family can get through this this time, right?" The wife sitting opposite had been uneasy, and couldn't help but ask with concern, she also knew that Wu Shaoqing was going to attack Master Yuanxia, so Master Yuanxia was easy to provoke?
"The emperor is benevolent and righteous, and he will not embarrass the Wu family." Zhao Yu replied absentmindedly when he heard this, he had successfully completed the errand given to him by Qin Yongxiang, and put on a good show in front of Wu Shaoqing, so that Wu Shaoqing wanted to shake the Venerable Yuanxia on the grounds of Emperor Hongxi's safety, so he was now thinking about what benefits he could get from Qin Yongxiang, and where did he have the heart to pay attention to Wu Shaoqing's affairs.
Zhao Yu's wife couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard this, unlike Zhao Yu, she had deep feelings for the Wu family, and she didn't want to see the Wu family suffer, let alone know what Zhao Yu had done today.
Zhao Yuguang thought that he could be promoted and make a fortune after defecting to Qin Yongxiang, but he didn't realize that he had fallen into the whirlpool of fierce confrontation between the queen and the king of Han, and it was still difficult to conclude whether it was a blessing or a curse.
