After sending Zhang Mingyang away, Nan Qiao fell into deep thought.

Zhang Mingyang is trustworthy, although he has always been a little ignorant of the world because of his identity, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know anything.

Half a month has passed since Mu Baizhuo got married, and Chang'an City, which was originally quite peaceful, spread rumors on this day, roughly saying that Mu Baizhuo and Liu Feiyan met an assassin when they went out, and what is surprising is that the assassin is none other than the staff of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The staff threatened to like Miss Liu San for a long time, but before she could pursue it, Miss Liu San married someone else, so in a fit of anger, the staff made a move on Mu Baizhuo, but was taken down by Mu Baizhuo.

Under severe torture, the identity of the staff also surfaced, how did the emperor know about the assassination of the king of Dongjun, this is not known, but the investigation found out that the staff is a spy of another country, and even the identity is disguised, and the prime minister blindly promoted him before.

In the end, the staff actually confessed that the prime minister deliberately helped him conceal his identity, confirmed the prime minister's words of collusion with other countries, and also took out some evidence of collusion, so that the prime minister, who has always been able to speak well, was stunned and couldn't refute a word.

Immediately, Yu Wenmo ordered the prime minister to be detained, except for the married Liu Feiyan, the rest of the people were all taken to the prison, which was the second time that the prime minister's mansion was raided.

Just when the court was in turmoil because of the prime minister's affairs, among the more than 100 people who had just participated in the imperial examination, several stood out and were quite appreciated by Yuwenmo.

In the teahouse in the afternoon, it was very quiet, and Nan Qiao personally cooked a cup of tea for Zhang Mingyang and put it in front of him.

"Hard work, among several people this time, your article is the most top-notch, and it has been appreciated by many ministers, tomorrow is the palace test, and you can breathe a sigh of relief after tomorrow."

Zhang Mingyang picked up the cup of tea in front of him and took a sip gently, "I'm not worried about the palace test, I won't disappoint you tomorrow." ”

Nan Qiao admired him a little more, "This time, your fame depends on your ability, your family has not contributed much, and after the palace test, it is time to hold the power in your own hands." ”

Zhang Mingyang nodded slightly, "Well, what you want me to do, I'll do it!" ”

The day passed quickly, and the next day, Nan Qiao was playing with the lotus ring on her finger, the purple color was getting lighter and lighter, and she could feel that she was obviously not so attached to Cen Xi.

After so many days, she has searched for the shadow in private, but she has not even found half a trace of him, this person is like evaporating from the world.

After a while, the maid hurriedly came in, "Master Nan, Master Zhang... Missed! ”

Nan Qiao came back to his senses and looked at her in disbelief, "What's the matter?" ”

The maid said, "This morning, when Zhang Gongzi's carriage passed the official road, the horse was startled and threw Zhang Gongzi off the carriage..."

Before the maid finished speaking, Nan Qiao got up and quickly went out of the door and went to Zhang's mansion.

At this time, Zhang Mingyang was lying on the bed with gauze wrapped around his head, and when he saw Nan Qiao coming, he hurriedly supported his upper body to get up, but was pressed back by her with a movement.

Before he could speak, Zhang Dacai heard that Nan Qiao was coming and hurried with his other two sons.

"Master Nan, which gust of wind blew you here?" He concealed his weakness under his unusual enthusiasm, and he didn't dare to look at Nan Qiao at all.

Nan Qiao's pupils narrowed slightly, let go and pressed Zhang Mingyang's shoulder and turned around, her eyes were close to a few people, and she coldly ordered the maid beside her,

"Someone, go check the carriage this morning! Is it an accident, or is it man-made or animalistic... I'm not going to let go of any of them! ”

When Zhang Dacai and the others heard this, they were shocked, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, and the hand on his side moved slightly behind him, and the gesture hinted at the other two sons behind him.

Seeing this, the other two immediately walked to Zhang Mingyang's bedside with a caring smile, shouting and asking for warmth like a kind brother.

A scene of brothers, friends and brothers was presented in front of Nan Qiao's eyes, and then looking at Zhang Mingyang's expression, it was obviously stiff to deal with.

Zhang Dacai also asked the maid to bring some tonic at this time, and took the nourishing decoction with his own hands, "Yang'er, drink this soup first, otherwise it will be cold in a while!" ”

Nan Qiao stepped aside slightly, looking at this farce with cold eyes.

After a while, the maid came in, spread out the things in her palm, and said something in her ear, Nan Qiao nodded slightly, glanced at the few people over there, and then said coldly,

"Don't pretend, the third prince was shocked when he wanted to test the palace the next day, how could there be such a coincidence, you think that the third prince is so easy to handle, he didn't even bother to take off the nails nailed to the horse's hooves, it's really blatant!"

The eyes of several people were rolling, and they couldn't hide it, how would they know that Nan Qiao cared so much about Zhang Mingyang, and personally came to Xingshi to ask for the guilt.

"Master Nan, maybe the horse accidentally stepped on it..."Zhang Dacai explained weakly.

Nan Qiao's eyes approached, "Isn't it too much to do this for the sake of the other two sons?" She then sneered, and said in her words, "Don't you just want your other two sons to have the opportunity to be officials, don't worry, I will let your three sons be officials, absolutely glorify your ancestors, and glorify your Zhangjia lintel!" ”

Zhang Dacai never expected Nan Qiao to say this, looking at Nan Qiao and not like he was lying, he really didn't react for a while How to respond to her, "This... This..."

He was now excited, scared, and a little incredulous, and suspected that Nan Qiao was testing him or something else.

Nan Qiao smiled slightly, but her eyes made people dare not look directly, she put away the indifference just now, and said gently, "You have done so many things for Xi, don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, it is only because Xi gave too few opportunities before, and it is reasonable for you to plan for the other two sons..." ”

Zhang Dacai was excited when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What Master Nan said is true?" ”

"When did I tell a lie?" Nan Qiao asked rhetorically.

Zhang Dacai and the others didn't dare to question it, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to thank her.

"It's just..."Nan Qiao said again, "The third prince was injured this time, and the palace test was delayed, and I still have to work the rest of the matter, as long as you hand over all the affairs of the Chang'an City store in your hands to the third prince, I won't care about this matter anymore!" ”

"This..."Zhang Dacai hesitated.

"Do you have to tell Xi that he will come and give you an order in person?" There was a clear threat in her tone.

"Everything is up to Master Nan!"

At this moment, Zhang Dacai is thinking that as long as he can make his other two sons officials, there will be many benefits in the future, and there will be no loss in business matters for the time being, Zhang Mingyang is just a concubine, where does he have experience, he will wait to move Cen Xi when the time comes, and then he can snatch back the power from the cowardly Zhang Mingyang.

Nan Qiao hooked his lips and smiled, "Before dark, if this matter is not implemented, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people!" ”

"Yes, yes, my subordinates will do it, and I will go!" After saying this, Zhang Dacai hurriedly retreated with his eldest son and second son.

The room was much quieter, and Nan Qiao walked to Zhang Mingyang's side, "Take care of your injuries, and you will take over everything in the Zhang family in the future." ”

Zhang Mingyang smiled bitterly, "I'm letting you see the joke again, I've been a child. It's the least important thing in the family. ”

She put her hand on his shoulder and said with a firm gaze, "In the future, you will be the only one who inherits everything from the Zhang family, and the Zhang family must be yours!" ”

Zhang Mingyang didn't quite understand the meaning of her words, but since she said it, then he didn't have any reason not to believe it.

It wasn't until two days later that Nan Qiao's words were verified, and after his father handed over the ownership to him, the eldest brother and the second brother were taken away and sent to the palace as eunuchs.

My father didn't expect this to happen at all, so he vomited blood that day and was sick in bed.

Later, a few days later, news came from the palace that the eldest brother was beaten with fifty boards and directly paralyzed because he offended the eunuch in charge above, and the second brother was ordered to be strangled by the palace lady because he was molesting the palace maid and did not change his lust, and in such a short period of time, he was the only son of the Zhang family.

Zhang Mingyang quietly listened to Xiao Qian's report on the recent events, there was no emotional fluctuation in his eyes, he finished taking a sip of the medicine that was almost cool in his hand, and his eyes became firm, "The things committed by the two brothers have disgraced the family, pass on my order, the funeral does not have to be handled, just buy two coffins and arrange the burial!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Dacai, who was heartbroken when he heard this, walked in with the support of people, "You... You are not filial son, your mother is a slut who sings, she usually talks to men, and I don't know if you are someone else's species, over the years, Lao Tzu has given you food and drink, and as a result, he raised a white-eyed wolf! I knew that this was the case, Lao Tzu would have directly killed you at the beginning, so as not to let you occupy the magpie's nest and harm the Zhang family! If it weren't for you, your two brothers..."

Zhang Mingyang looked at Zhang Dacai's accusation coldly, calmer than ever,

"Father's words are wrong, if you don't look down on my mother, you shouldn't admit her into the house, let alone condone your wife to torture her to death, you care about her past, and covet her beauty, and you don't cherish it after you get it, even me... If it weren't for some use, would you spare my life? ”

He paused for a few seconds and asked himself, "You won't, if it wasn't for my grandmother's protection when I was a child, I would have been beaten to death by you, my grandmother just left two years ago, you couldn't wait for people to give me Gu, use me to earn your good name and make Long Ye feel that you are loyal, my father is really a good calculation, if it wasn't for the child's life, when he met His Royal Highness the Prince and her, he would have become a dry bone by now!" ”

"You...!" Zhang Dacai looked at him in horror, he had never seen such a smart Zhang Mingyang, "How do you know this?" ”

The corners of Zhang Ming's lips were hooked, and he lowered his head and sneered, "Yes, in fact, I know what you do, father, but I still have a trace of fantasy, thinking that my father's blood is thicker than water, and sooner or later you will treat me like two brothers, but it's a pity..."

In the past, he just wanted to hide his clumsiness and live a low-key life, in order not to provoke his two brothers too much, otherwise all he would get was a reprimand and punishment. I didn't want to upset my father, because as long as he performed a little better, his father's face would be ugly, and he wouldn't even let him continue studying.

Now it's time for him to get back what belongs to him.
