King Qi asked, "I wonder what rumors my grandfather heard?" However, it doesn't matter what people outside say, their mouths grow on other people's bodies, who cares what people say? The Chu family is not arrogant. ”

He thinks that people outside say that the Chu family is arrogant, and they have been saying this for many years, and they don't just say it now, I'm afraid that my grandfather only heard it now, right?

The Chu family, in fact, is really arrogant, how many people outside have to shiver three times when they hear the Chu family?

Chu Shoufu didn't seem to hear King Qi's words, and looked at Mrs. Chu, "Madam, do you know what the people outside say?" ”

Mrs. Chu was named, but she was not afraid, she only smiled and said: "Father, daughter-in-law has never cared about the nonsense rumors in the market. ”

"Yes," Chu Shoufu's eyes were as white as knives, and he said sharply: "You have never cared, if you care, you should know that rumors are like poisonous arrows, which can kill people invisibly." ”

Mrs. Chu didn't dare to look at him like this, and lowered her head, "Yes!" ”

There were many people present who knew what Chu Shoufu meant.

Because this rumor is too powerful, but in three or two days, it has swept the whole city, streets and alleys, and even the inner courtyards of various mansions are talking about this matter.

It's no wonder that the protagonist of the rumors turned out to be the contemporary Shoufu, the Chu Shoufu whose prestige is close to that of the emperor.

And the other one is Xi Mama, who has served the Emperor for a lifetime, and can follow the Emperor for a lifetime, what a lot of trust and grace.

Naturally, this matter has attracted special attention.

The old lady of the Chu family's face also trembled, and lowered her eyes.

She warned that the old man can carry around big things.

But only those three words were touched, which was his death hole, and his six relatives did not recognize him.

She had warned that no one could mess with that person.

However, it is obvious that the four words arrogant and domineering are really right.

In their eyes, they look down on anyone.

Chu Shoufu asked slowly, "Do you know who Fang Yu is?" ”

His eyes were still looking at Mrs. Chu.

That's what he said.

Mrs. Chu shook her head, "I don't know." ”

Many people say they don't know.

However, in fact, many people know that this Fang Yu is the person who was rumored to have an affair with Xi Mama and was finally executed by the Emperor Taishang.

The second lady of the Chu family heard the rumors outside, and when she saw that everyone said that she didn't know, she said: "Father, this Fang Yu, and the daughter-in-law know, I heard that he was executed by the Emperor Taishang because of the chaos in the palace and his fornication with Mama Xi. ”

Chu Shoufu's cold eyes fell on Second Mrs. Chu's face, and Second Mrs. Chu hurriedly waved her hand, "The daughter-in-law just listened to the people outside, and the daughter-in-law doesn't know anything." ”

However, Mrs. Chu didn't like this atmosphere very much, thinking that her father would not help Na Xi Mama in front of the big guy, so she said: "Father, what the second lady said, the daughter-in-law has actually heard it, this Fang Yu really deserves to die, he dared to hook up with the chief palace maid next to the emperor, and he really deserves to be damned." ”

What is there to justify such a thing? People have been dead for so many years, besides, who will investigate what happened back then?

The forbidden army was executed, and many people knew what was going on, that is, they were killed by the rod after touching the Holy Wrath of the Emperor Taishang.

A person who was executed by the Emperor Taishang, an old lady who has served in the palace for many years, is not worthy of such a stirring up of the public.

Chu Shoufu's eyes were shocking rage, but his voice was as steady as spring water, "Fang Yu, at the age of sixteen, followed the Emperor Taishang's side, after the Emperor Taishang ascended the throne, he was named the imperial guard, and since his tenure, he has been loyal to his duties, the Emperor Taishang drove the expedition in person, he went with him, that tragic battle, the old man and the free prince, and him, escorted the Emperor Taishang to escape from the pile of dead people, and retrieved the main force, in the end, that battle, we turned defeat into victory, and the day of victory was yesterday twenty-eight years ago. ”

The people of the Chu family rarely listen to Chu Shoufu talk about the events of the year.

Chu Shoufu is in this family, he is not verbose, he does not say too much, his orders are simple and clear, and he will not mention his past in front of his wife and concubines.

The people of the Chu family knew that he had been on the battlefield, that he had escaped death, and that he had made great contributions to the Northern Tang Dynasty, but no one knew the specific things.

Now that they heard him talk about the battle, everyone waited with bated breath, waiting for him to continue, because Fang Yu had protected the Emperor Taishang and saved the Emperor, and the Emperor Taishang finally killed him with a rod, which shows how serious the crime he committed.

Chu Shoufu continued: "Fang Yu sacrificed the year, twenty-six, younger than several of you here, not long after the Emperor ascended the throne, there was a ceremony to sacrifice to the sky, the Emperor Taishang went out to inspect two days in advance, Fang Yu followed as the imperial guard, as everyone knows, the Emperor Taishang's trip was learned by the traitor Thirteen Masters of the year, sent someone to assassinate, Fang Yu sacrificed to protect the Emperor, after his sacrifice, the Emperor Taishang posthumously named him the Marquis of the Protector, he is the first Marquis of the Protector of our dynasty. ”

Everyone was shocked.

Fang Yu is the Marquis of the Protector? Right? Didn't it say that there was a royal guard surnamed Fang who was killed with a rod because of the chaos in the palace?

Mrs. Chu was also a little flustered, and hurriedly said, "Really? It turns out that he is the protector of the country, how can he say this outside? It can be seen that it is really nonsense, and the father does not have to take it to heart. ”

Chu Shoufu finally picked up the tea placed next to him, raised his head, and his eyes were like lightning, flashing, cold, and the cup in his hand flew out.

The cup smashed on Mrs. Chu's body.

"Grandfather!"

"Father!"

After everyone was shocked, they all stepped forward and knelt down, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Mrs. Chu's face was stiff and embarrassed, the teacup smashed on her collarbone, and the tea leaked out and flowed down her chest, feeling clammy and frozen.

She stared at Chu Shoufu, her tone stubborn and resentful, "Father, what did your daughter-in-law do wrong, you just said it, you killed your daughter-in-law, and your daughter-in-law has no complaints, but you have to explain why." ”

The fury in Chu Shoufu's eyes suddenly erupted, and he said sharply: "Because of the rumors outside, you ordered people to spread them, and you ordered people to spread rumors, you not only insulted Mama Xi, but you also insulted the protector of the country who saved the life of the emperor, this matter, the emperor already knew about it, and ordered severe punishment, you just said, kill you, you have no complaints, you really can't have complaints, if you don't die, no one in the Chu family can escape." ”

Mrs. Chu's eyes showed a look of panic, but in the end, it was the eldest lady of the Chu family who had seen a big battle and experienced wind and rain, so she forced herself to defend herself: "Father, you said that your daughter-in-law is good at everything, but you can't say that your daughter-in-law spread rumors, your daughter-in-law has not done this, it was not done by your daughter-in-law, and your daughter-in-law will not admit it if she dies." ”

"You don't need to admit it!" Chu Shoufu's eyes were cold, and it fell on the face of the uncle of the Chu family, "Prepare a letter of resignation, prepare poisonous wine, and after the letter of resignation is issued, give her a drink of poisonous wine, and send the body back to her mother's house." ”

The uncle of the Chu family was flustered, kowtowed, and said, "Father, can you investigate this matter clearly?" I'm afraid that she is wronged, and even if she does it, she will not be guilty of death. ”

"She doesn't die, you die," Chu Shoufu looked at him, "You admit this matter to the Emperor, and you alone bear the charge, but before you die, I still want to expel you from the Chu family and cut off relations with me." ”
