In the middle of the night, this sudden call and noise was particularly harsh.

In a short period of time, many people in the vicinity woke up from their sleep and followed the sound.

And most of them are illiterate, just curious.

So, a few of the literate guys quickly took the blood book and read it.

A story is described from the Blood Book:

That day, the county lord and Wang Yue ordered Steward Zhang to go there with a plan. They deliberately beat him on trumped-up charges, and all they really wanted to do was go to his house and rummage through it.

When Steward Zhang returned to his residence, he found that his residence had been searched, and the little thing hidden under his bed was gone.

Among them are his savings over the years.

These savings were saved by him for more than ten years, and they were used by the whole family. A total of three hundred taels, all gone!

He's half-dead, so it doesn't matter, but what about his family? He couldn't live, he knew that the only people who took the things could be the county lord of Jinxi and the princess Wang......

The reader was amazed, was this the case?

Someone hurried under the bed to look for it, and when he saw that two gray bricks had been lifted, but the inside was empty......

And from the square traces at the bottom of the cave, it can be seen that something must have been hidden in it before, so Lao Zhang's savings were really all taken away?

Immediately, some people began to scold angrily, saying:

After Zhang was removed from his position as steward a while ago, the reason why he didn't leave as soon as possible was that he was waiting for his family to come to the capital for a reunion. His hometown is in Ludi, and this year he was hit by a locust plague that caused no harvest. In desperation, his whole family in their twenties came north to look for him. So he began to sell all the valuable things around him a few months ago, and scraped together three hundred taels of silver, just waiting for his family to come to reunite.

It is precisely because of this that he did not dare to leave even if he was not treated in the house, because he was afraid that his family would not find him after entering Beijing, so he stayed......

"I seem to have heard Lao Zhang say this."

"Indeed, I have heard of it, too."

"It's true, Lao Zhang's silver ticket was changed by my two brothers, and it has only been ten days since I got it, and it's still hot. It is the exchange of Daxing Bank, and there should be a record of it. ”

"A few days ago, Lao Zhang also asked Lao Li to go to the south of the city and the suburbs to find a place, saying that it should be a bigger place to accommodate twenty or thirty people, which turned out to be the reason."

"If Lao Zhang hadn't been suddenly sent down by Concubine Wang a few months ago, he would have found a place a long time ago."

"You don't know that this year's locust plague in Ludi has been particularly severe, many people have been displaced, and those who can afford to leave have left their homes. Lao Zhang has always mixed well, can his family still live if he doesn't come to him? ”

"I see. The old silver ticket was stolen, so I felt ashamed of my family, I couldn't accommodate my family, and I felt that I had no face to see people, so I chose to commit suicide, right? ”

"Hey, how can he see him? I have become a waste person again, can't I help my family and become a burden again? Lao Zhang has always been a master, how can he stand it? ”

But the two whom he testified against...... As for taking his money? ”

"That's right."

"What's strange, I found it and left. Throw a few copper plates in front of you, and you won't bend down to pick them up? ”

"That's it! Aren't the princesses and that fellow countryman? The family is all engaged in trading, and the businessmen are not all goose pluckers? ”

"That'...... Isn't this going to force Lao Zhang's family to death? More than 300 taels, enough for this family to live for decades. ”

"No, they should all live on this silver. It's so ruthless! ”

Everyone remembered the inexplicable beating that Steward Zhang received two days ago.

At that time, it was true that the county lord and Wang Yue came to his residence, and the group was inside for a long time, and some people were guarding outside.

To say, Lao Zhang hadn't come back at that time, and this house was clear at a glance, what could they do here? Chatting? I'm afraid what Lao Zhang said is true.

Many people still vaguely remember that it was after the county lord and Wang Yue left that day that Lao Zhang was sent back.

After that, it seems that no one has seen Lao Zhang again, and no one has ever come to Lao Zhang's residence again.

If there is a problem, if it is really stolen, then it is really inseparable from the princess of the county lord. Only in this way can we explain what the county lord and the princess are doing well in this old Zhang's subordinate room.

"I'm afraid it's true!"

Someone pointed to a hole in the corner. "Concubine Wang obviously hates Lao Zhang, do you think that hole looks like a dog hole? Even the rice was stuffed through such a hole, not only slapping Lao Zhang's face and scolding him for being a dog, but also torturing Lao Zhang! Lao Zhang was covered in injuries, and he had to suffer a lot of sins from the bed to this hole. It's really aggrieved to live like this, according to Lao Zhang's heart, I'm afraid that I will already have the will to die, right? ”

"You mean, Concubine Wang has wanted to force him to death for a long time?"

In fact, Wang Yue ordered someone to open a hole in Steward Zhang's residence to deliver food, which was indeed intended to torture and torture him.

But a large part of the reason is because Steward Zhang has helped Zhu Chang'an steward for many years, and even if he leaves office, he will inevitably have a certain amount of control over King An's Mansion.

At that time, Ziyu said that Steward Zhang still had contact with Zhu Changan, Wang Yue was surprised, she finally got the right to get a temporary place in the mansion, and she naturally couldn't let the right be taken away or weakened again, at least not until Zhu Changan came back.

She had to avoid Zhang from having contact with the people in the house as much as possible, so she ordered that even if she delivered food and medicine, she could only send food and medicine from the entrance of the cave.

Where would she have thought that her assertion would become one of the powerful evidences of her suspected crime of persecuting Steward Zhang at this moment.

The crowd is growing, and the blood books, stories, and speculations in the room are spreading at a rapid pace.

"Everyone, don't worry, I haven't finished reading it yet!" The one who read the blood book just now screamed.

"The point is not just because of three hundred taels, there is a more important reason. It turned out that there was an important thing left by the prince hidden in the pit under the bed. Before leaving Beijing and going to the northwest that day, the prince told Steward Zhang that no matter what happened, he must keep a box.

The prince said that the box is worth a thousand gold, people are in the box, and the box is ruined! It was Lao Zhang who came back and found that his silver ticket and the box were lost, and he felt that he was shameless to either the prince or his family, he was seriously injured and could not recover, his subordinates had no right and could not mobilize manpower, he knew that he was alone, and he was completely unable to compete with the evil forces, so he could only choose to die.

First, he was desperate and forced to be helpless, and second, he only used this way to make a big deal about it, so that the evil forces could not cover up the evil deeds, and he hoped that he could use his death to report the thief.

Third, he hopes that even if you don't look at him, you can stand in the public position to help justice be done, after all, the stolen box contains the most precious things of the prince. Whether the prince can wash away his grievances in the future is in that box......"

At this point, there was a lot of discussion again.

The most important thing for the prince to wash away his grievances is nothing more than that - the silver that has disappeared.

Worth a thousand dollars? Isn't it just ten thousand taels of silver?

Really!

That's right, no wonder even the saints can't find those silver, it turns out that it is hidden in the ground!

So, it was the county lord of Jinxi and the princess Wang who took away the silver?

Yes!

Only in this way can those doubts just now be fully solved.

The reason why those two beat Lao Zhang and came here was because they knew that Lao Zhang had the treasure of King An in his hand, and it was only incidental to take away the more than 300 taels.

Lao Zhang's suicide is not only unthinkable, but also a proof!

Tens of thousands of taels!

Anyway, it's dead horizontally and vertically.

It's better to maximize the effect of death and find out the culprit!

A lot of people sighed.

Looking at so many blood books and blood words around him, how determined and persevering Lao Zhang is? This blood is all consumed by yourself, right?

If it weren't for the deep hatred, how could Lao Zhang torture himself so much?

In fact, even if no one in the crowd is deliberately guiding, many people have already believed in Lao Zhang and sympathize.

No matter how rich the county lord and the princess are, it is impossible for them to not be unmoved by tens of thousands of taels, right? What's more, both of them heard that they had some problems with His Royal Highness King An. Deliberately taking away the silver ticket, maybe there is a deeper purpose...... After all, the emperor has been angry several times for King An's silver.

But in any case, Lao Zhang died too miserably. Lao Zhang's family is too pitiful. This is something that even refugees have to do, they have to become beggars!

"Look, Lao Zhang has even drawn the shape of the treasure box that he lost. said that the lock of the box was not easy to open, Lao Zhang asked him to report to the police as soon as he found his body, and follow the clues of the box to investigate, and he will definitely be able to capture the prisoner in one fell swoop! ”

Everyone found that on the back of each blood book was a picture of a lost treasure box, from the pattern to the shape, all the details were clear, and even the size was marked.

The old slave with Zhu Changan quickly insisted that he had seen the box, which was owned by His Royal Highness King An, and he specially found a famous teacher to build it before leaving Beijing that day, and it was used by King An to store valuable things, and he did not take it out of the capital, but he didn't want to stay with Steward Zhang......

Since Steward Zhang's residence belongs to the lower people in the house, there is some distance from the front and back yards of the palace. So when the emperor's guards left in King An's Mansion arrived, many people had already gathered at the place where the incident occurred. Rumors have also been spread.

It's too late to seal.

What is astonishing is that someone has already brought a blood letter to the official for the first time.

The palace guards did not stop it, they knew that the emperor was chasing the tens of thousands of taels, so they couldn't interfere in this matter.

In this way, the news is still spreading, and in just half an hour, the lights of the entire Anwang Mansion are all on, and they are as eye-catching as a morning star in the capital that has not yet woken up.

And the hustle and bustle in front of King An's Mansion attracted attention at once.

This time is the time when the officials went to court...... As soon as someone was guided, many officials who were entering the palace nearby were all "by the way......

Not only did the officers and men come quickly, but today's work is also as fast as stepping on the hot wheels.

After the autopsy, a judgment was quickly made.

said that the time of Steward Zhang's death was probably the night before yesterday. Judging from the strength and accuracy of the handwriting he left behind, he should have put a little blood first, and wrote dozens of accusation blood letters little by little, before he began to bleed a large amount of blood, dipped his fingers in blood, and smeared everywhere to complain, and then his consciousness gradually dissipated, so his steps were vain, and he dragged his body step by step to the rope that had already hung on the beam, and hung himself up with the last bit of strength......

In short, in all kinds of voices, the story about Steward Zhang is more and more sensational and pathetic, more and more shocking, and more and more numb.

And Wang Yue, who was in King An's Mansion, bore the brunt of it, and her mother-in-law and maid had already bumped into each other in a panic several times.

"Don't panic!"

Wang Yue is still lazy lying on the beauty couch with bird's nest.

"They came prepared, and it's useless for you to panic. You just need to remember which people are the most inciting, which people are the most powerful, which people are the most powerful, which people are spreading the news at the moment, who went to report to the officials, with whose permission, whose help, those people are all Zhu Changan's henchmen, and they are all guys who want to clean up. Hurry up and do it. I'll get a detailed list of all the people down. ”

Wang Yue bit her lip. Zhu Changan! This rotten man! It's really cheap!

What a good calculation!

"Master, are we going to let the rumors spread like this? Should we take action? It's too bad for your reputation. ”

"What do you think I can do to silence them? I'm going to do it a long time ago, can I wait until now? ”

Wang Yue sneered. "It's even more difficult for me to let people shut up. If I do something, I give them a handle. Perhaps, there are one or two more waiting to be 'persecuted' by me, taking the opportunity to bite me back! ”

So, she didn't want to move.

Instead of going out and tossing, let them bounce on their own.

The dawn has dawned in the east, and this is a good day!

"Let people prepare water, I want to bathe and change clothes into the palace."

"Yes, yes, yes, preconceived, the master should be the first to complain to the Queen Mother."

"Where do you think of it? Today is the day I see my son. And, what grievances do I have to sue? On that day, it was indeed me and Ziyu who took the things. ”

"Huh?" Xiang'er was confused, "Then are you going to throw yourself into Luo ......, no, no, no, are you going to take the blame?" ”

"Stupid!" Wang Yue smiled.

As he was talking, another servant came to report from outside.

"Master, someone from the government has come. An adult would like to ask you to come over! ”

"Don't go! Tell him that today I will go to the palace to see my son. Not available. If he is not in a hurry, he will wait until I get back. ”

"Master, is this possible?"

"Yes, what's not to do. I am the mother of the little emperor's grandson, and I am an authentic royal prince. Want to hold me accountable? Naturally, I asked the emperor what he meant before coming. If he has any opinions and dissatisfactions, let him go to the emperor to ask for orders! ”

Wang Yue stretched and pushed Xiang'er's forehead.

"You're not stupid! It's not me who really has to worry, don't forget that it was Ziyu who took the box. She's in front of her. Calm down! Let's change clothes. I don't know if Ziyu will enter the palace today, it may be quite interesting! ”

"That'...... The slave and maid are looking for someone to go to the general's mansion to ask? ”

"Don't! Just said you were stupid, you were stupid again! What is my person going to find Ziyu now? If you are seen, it is a confession! Are you stupid or not? Rest assured! She's deaf and clear-sighted, you don't need to worry about her! ”
