Zhou was shocked when he heard this, got up from his seat, and knelt down with a "poof".

She raised her head slightly, and her eyes were full of misunderstood grievances. He cried in a low voice: "Father, my mother has already instructed that the storage of porcelain must be supervised by me throughout the whole process, and no one else can see it." ”

Wei Yuanhou was unmoved, and said coldly: "Tell me the reason." ”

Zhou was silent, lowered his head as if considering whether to say it or not, and turned his head to look at his husband.

Xiao Xin saw his wife asking for help, got up and knelt down beside his wife, and arched his hand: "Father, I believe in Madame, she will not do this for no reason." Madam, all of you are close relatives, you can say anything, and me. ”

Zhou Qian was sheltered by her husband as she wished, her heart moved slightly, and then she pulled back her thoughts.

Only then did he whisper: "Back to my father, my mother paid 30,000 taels of silver to the account office and ordered a batch of porcelain for the third brother to use as a parent." But I didn't go to Longquan kiln to order, but ordered Baishi kiln, which only cost 18,000 taels. ”

Speaking of which, everyone understands a little, no wonder no one else handles it.

Then Zhou said: "My mother said that I should hide it from others, and the Wu mother in the treasury are all people who have seen the world, and I am afraid that I can't hide it, so I didn't let them come in to help." ”

Wei Yuanhou didn't expect that the Yue clan would be so greedy. As for the authenticity, Wei Yuanhou is not worried, after all, the Yue family is still in the Liuying Academy, and the Zhou family does not dare to lie.

"What about tonight's cotton clothes, it's also a coincidence?"

Zhou Shi trembled, glanced at Fang Shi casually, and then replied in a low voice: "Father, it's cold, I see that their clothes are thin, so I want to do my best." I just want to make it easier for everyone to be there when I change guards. I didn't expect that it would leave the fourth brother alone. ”

Xiao Xin saw his wife's trembling appearance, and knew that she was not the housewife, and doing so would make her sister-in-law's face gloomy.

But he didn't care so much, so he hurriedly stepped forward: "Father, although Mrs. has broken the rules, her starting point is good, please open up the net." ”

Wei Yuanhou looked at the tearful, weak and helpless Zhou, and also had a little headache.

I thought she had a problem, but now it seems that there is a reason for it. If the conviction is based on mere coincidence, it will not be able to convince the public, and it will also hurt the relationship between father and son.

Wei Yuanhou thought for a moment and looked at Xiao Yao: "Xiao Yao, you say, how to deal with this?" ”

Xiao Yao got up and arched his hand and said, "Since there is a reason for the incident, the second sister-in-law thinks that it has nothing to do with the Jurchen assassins." It's just that I still don't understand, where did these twenty-two assassins come from? Second sister-in-law, there are really no Tibetans in those porcelain? ”

Zhou shook his head in a panic, bean-sized tears rolled down, biting his lip and pulling Xiao Xin's sleeve anxiously.

"Husband, you believe me, if I see an assassin, I will not hide it."

Xiao Xin looked at Wei Yuanhou and arched his hand: "Father, I can vouch for Mrs., she is gentle and virtuous, from a famous family, and she will definitely not be a meticulous work." ”

Wei Yuanhou thought about it again, and had no choice but to say: "I will confirm the matter of porcelain to the Yue family." As for how the Jurchen assassins entered the mansion, check again! ”

The three sons gave their hands at the same time: "Yes!" ”

Xiao Yao returned to Qingbo Courtyard with a lot of worries, and was about to go back to the house, but saw Yan Shaoxun sitting outside.

"Fifth Prince, you haven't rested so late?"

Yan Shaoxun said with a smile: "I heard Zibin say about your assassination, and I couldn't sleep for a while." What, there are no clues yet? ”

Xiao Yao didn't hide it, and replied: "There are no clues, those people seem to have come out of thin air, and they don't know where they entered the Hou Mansion at all." ”

Yan Shaoxun said strangely: "Isn't there a little abnormality in your Hou Mansion?" How is it possible to sneak so many people in at the same time? ”

Xiao Yao was silent for a moment, and told the five princes a little about the situation of the Zhou family.

Yan Shaoxun laughed after hearing this, and smiled at Xiao Yao: "Didn't you suspect her?" This is too much of a coincidence. ”

It's not that Xiao Yao doesn't understand this truth, but the Zhou family, as a member of the Weiyuan Hou Mansion, really can't find a reason for the Zhou family to betray the Hou Mansion.

Yan Shaoxun looked at Xiao Yao and said tentatively: "Since the Zhou family said this, I have reason to suspect that she has joined forces with the Yue family. ”

"Fifth prince, do you have a way to find out her flaws?"

Yan Shaoxun smiled, raised the wine glass in his hand, and touched Xiao Yao lightly: "Fortunately, I am in the court, and it is in the criminal department that I have experienced, I think I still have a little way, you can give it a try." ”

"I want to hear about it."

Yan Shaoxun pulled Xiao Yao and went to his room, muttering along the way, as if he was teaching some tricks.

Although Wei Yuanhou seemed to believe the Zhou family that night, the next day the Zhou family still found that there were many strange guards outside his courtyard. It doesn't affect the action, but there are some things that can't be done anymore.

With Zhou's advance report, when Weiyuan Hou went to find out the truth, Yue's was extremely cooperative.

"Yes, I told the Zhou family, so what?"

Wei Yuanhou was puzzled and asked: "You have not worried about food and clothing all these years, and you have no other relatives to compensate, why do you still want to covet this silver tael?" ”

"In the eyes of Master Hou, I do have no expenses, but my father left behind a lot of old departments when he left, and they are now a little poor, and if I want to use them for me, it will always cost one or two."

Yue's words were reasonable, and the Marquis of Wei Yuan was furious and asked, "You actually raise private soldiers?" ”

"Master Hou, you don't have to say it so ugly, I just want to see if there is anyone available who can help me a thing or two. However, most of these people followed Lei'er and a few of them, raising private soldiers, and I don't have enough money. ”

Wei Yuanhou was sullen, and finally brushed his sleeves away, leaving Yue Shi looking at his back with a complicated expression.

"Zhou Qian, Zhou Qian. I can help you, but whether you can achieve it or not is up to you. ”

Instead, Yue Shi said to Xiao Dao again: "I asked you to prepare, are you ready?" ”

"Mrs. Hui, it's ready."

Yue Shi sneered, pulled down an orchid in the pot hard, and said coldly: "Since she wants to ruin my good deeds repeatedly, then he can die." ”

Xiaodao was still a little hesitant: "Madam, after all, he is a county lord, and he is still a favored county lord, will he cause trouble." ”

"I don't care who he is, as long as it spoils my business, she will die."

The Yue family doesn't care so much, these years Weiyuan Hou has guarded the mountain customs, and there is no merit and hard work. It is impossible for the emperor to scold the Marquis of Weiyuan because of the death of a niece.

No matter how much she says about her niece, she can't compare to her son, the fifth prince is fine, she believes that the emperor will not pursue it.

What's more, the county lord of Mingzhu died accidentally, and he has nothing to do with the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion. The emperor didn't want to end up with a mediocre name, so he wouldn't move the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion.
