I can only say this, Old Lady Xu's brows furrowed, and her face was a little indescribably solemn.

Listening to Shen Ge Lao's meaning, the person behind the attack was not Chu Tingchuan!?

She pointed her finger on the small coffee table, looking at the smoke of the Purple Gold Rui Beast four-corner incense burner on the coffee table, and was slightly distracted for a while.

Mrs. Shizi didn't dare to interject, and waited anxiously, until Mrs. Xu raised her eyebrows, and then urged softly: "Mother, say something, now our whole family is in dire straits, if it continues like this, I don't know what things will become." ”

You can't really just sit and wait to die, right?

A few days ago, there was an impeachment on the front line, saying that the British public was ineffective in handling the matter, so that the rebels fought back, and vented their anger with the captured innocent people, and beheaded these innocent people outside the city in front of the soldiers on the tower of the city gate, and the public resentment boiled.

Now the rebels are in a great position, but it has become the reason why the previous dynasty attacked the British government and led the troops ineffectively, and they all said that this disaster was caused by the British prince who was too eager for quick success, which caused heavy losses to the imperial court.

The war on the front line is tight, and the imperial court has been raising military rations for the front.

But the problem is that not only is there a war in Yunnan, but also the Wara in the north and the Japanese in the coastal area, which have to be fought and trained, and these days as soon as he opens his eyes, Emperor Jiaping is chased by the cabinet and asks for money.

The household department has already been under a lot of pressure, and on the coastal side, at least there is still a small achievement in fighting the Japanese invaders, and it can be regarded as a silver spent on the blade, and the effect can be seen, and the Warat side has also been very effective since they adopted the strategy of lifting the little prince, and it has been quiet for a while.

At this time, the news of the great victory came from Yunnan before, but the rumors that had always been unfavorable to the British government were finally alleviated a lot.

After all, a big victory is always a joy, and since it is said to be a big victory, it proves that the battle is about to be finished, and the silver used will naturally be less.

But at present, the anterior line of this bone has changed, and the situation is developing in an unfavorable direction.

As soon as there was such a fuss, the battle line on the Yunnan side dragged on even longer and smelly, as if it had become a bottomless pit, and it was possible to fill it with as much silver as possible.

Of course, this result could not satisfy these people in the imperial court.

Therefore, even the old friends and old departments of the British government, although they also stood up to speak for the British government at this time, it did not have much effect.

After all, Emperor Jiaping and the cabinet now want nothing to happen in Yunnan.

Fighting a small rebel army has dragged on for so long, which is also inconsistent with the reputation of the British Duke for being brave and good at fighting.

Mrs. Shizi has been listening to the guests in the palace analyze the situation with the old lady and the second master these days, and she also knows that if this continues, the situation in the court will only become more and more unfavorable to the British duke.

She couldn't help but panic in her heart.

Old Mrs. Xu knew what she was worried about, but at this time, there were too few things they could do.

In the final analysis, the key is still in the British Duke himself, if the old man can win this time, then it's okay, everything can be said later, but if the old man is in front or loses, then the British government may be really worried.

Although Emperor Jiaping has a very good impression of the British public and has always trusted him, this incident is extraordinary, and it is not something that he can pass by deliberately covering up.

Besides, if things are like this, I'm afraid that Chu Tingchuan will also play a part in it at that time.

This is really a wolf and a tiger, even if Mrs. Xu is shrewd and capable, she can't help but sigh a little panicked at this time, but she has lived for so many years, although she has not paid too much attention to things outside, but she still has some foundation, and she quickly grasped the key to the matter.

That is the grandfather of Tang who went to supervise the war.

The British Duke has many years of experience in leading troops, and he is definitely not the kind of person who does not know how to handle relations and allows himself to be exposed to the enemy.

Since no one came out to impeach at the most difficult time, and now that the battle has been won, why did Tang Gonggong suddenly run out to impeach?

Someone must have been behind this.

Who can instruct the disciples and grandchildren of the popular Xu Gonggong?

Old Mrs. Xu frowned and looked at Steward Xu.

Steward Xu immediately understood what Mrs. Xu meant, and he shook his head: "Old lady, my subordinates have already tried to find a way to inquire, and Father-in-law Xu has not expressed an opinion on this matter." ”

That's not Xu Dongying.

But since it's not him, who can let Gonggong Tang do this?

Old Madam Xu quickly thought of a candidate, and couldn't help frowning.

Mrs. Shizi was worried, and when she saw that Mrs. Xu didn't speak for a long time, she couldn't help but be even more scared, but she didn't dare to ask too much, she just sobbed quietly.

Steward Xu sighed, it's really not good to have only women in the family, Mrs. Shizi can show her majesty when she usually manages the house, but if she goes outside to run, how can she show up as a woman?

It's just that Mrs. Xu is too old, and her goal is too big to go out.

Mrs. Xu came back to her senses when she heard Steward Xu's sigh, nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Then according to your meaning, since Gonggong Xu doesn't know about this matter, but Gonggong Tang went to do it, who is making trouble behind it?" ”

In fact, she already had a vague guess in her heart.

Steward Xu didn't hide it, and said straightforwardly: "Old lady, forgive me for telling the truth, when we sent Lu Guangping out of the city, who else knew?" What reason did we force him to help? ”

Mrs. Shizi stopped crying, looked at Steward Xu thoughtfully, and her thoughts were a little confused for a while.

Of course she knows about Lu Guangping, if you count it, she still tried her best to send Lu Guangping away with the prince in the end, and for Lu Guangping to go smoothly, the third girl in the second room is still dead.

And who the prince went to find at that time, of course she also knew about it.

..... Zhang Qing?

Zhang Gonggong......

Mrs. Shizi was a little incredulous.

Zhang Qing's relationship with the British government has always been good! At the beginning, he was still a small chamberlain, and when he was serving in the palace of Concubine Sheng, if it wasn't for the British Mansion to take care of him all the time, how could he go so fast and so far?

And in terms of all these years, the British Mansion has nothing to do with Zhang Qing that can't stand him, why did he turn around and deal with the Guogong Mansion? !

She looked at Mrs. Xu in shock, but saw that Mrs. Xu was not surprised at all, as if she had expected it a long time ago, and laughed without any surprise.

The worry in Mrs. Shizi's heart was even higher, if it was really Zhang Qing, it would really be even more terrifying than Chu Tingchuan's shot.
