After Zhang Qingting sent everyone out, seeing that it was good, he reached out and snatched Zhu's baby into his arms, faintly holding it hostage, "Madam, I'm sorry, I offended"

Zhu Shi was taken aback: "You...... What are you going to do? ”

Zhang Qingting had already prepared a handkerchief soaked in **, afraid that the child would cry, so as soon as he got his hand, he immediately covered the child's mouth and nose with a handkerchief, which instantly stunned him. She kept moving her hands, and said with a solemn face, "Madam, please rest assured, this is just an ordinary **, and the weight is shallow, so it can't hurt the child." But please don't panic and come with me."

Zhu Shi suddenly changed color, "Didn't you say ...... good"

Zhang Qingting smiled bitterly, "Madam, your father-in-law is so shrewd, if it is an ordinary act, can you deceive him?" I can't say it, I have to wronged you" Although she grabbed the child in her hand, her words were still sincere, "We really just want to save people's lives, and we also hope that Lord Yan will not force people too much"

Yan Bo, who had already mixed in to pick her up, saw that she had won so quickly, and immediately flashed in, "Sister-in-law, we really won't hurt you, just please come with us, just wait for this door, and we will return the child to you."

Now that the matter has come to this, what else does Zhu have to say? Although he secretly regretted believing in people's words, but in the final analysis, it was his father-in-law who caused the trouble, so he had to helplessly take the black cloak handed over by Yan Bo and put a hood on his head, "Then you have to talk no matter what, this child is also surnamed Yan."

"Sister-in-law, please rest assured," Yan Bo said half-sarcastically and half-self-deprecatingly, "If even I can do something to this Yan family's child, then the entire Yan family should really cut off Sun We have already sent someone to negotiate with the eldest brother, as long as the negotiation is completed, we will send you home immediately." ”

Zhu felt ashamed, lowered his head in embarrassment, and quietly came out of the side door with the two of them, but he didn't alarm anyone. There were already green pines here who had prepared the carriage, and everyone got on the carriage and walked around the market first, and the Zhu family didn't know where to take their mother.

Zhang Qingting kept his promise, they are all mothers, and they can understand her worries. said that he would return the child to her when he got in the car, and he really returned the child to her. Zhu hugged his son, and saw that he was breathing steadily, as if he was asleep, and did not feel much discomfort, so he calmed down a little. Now they can only count on Yan Bozhai to quickly release their relatives so that their mother can go home.

When the maids came over with the cloth, they immediately found that the lady and the little master were lost, and Zhang Qingting was missing. Regardless of whether they thought that the lady was willing to go with the family or was abducted, they couldn't hide it. At that moment, the experienced servant woman divided the matter into two parts, one sending someone to look around immediately, and the other sending someone to hurry back to the house to report the news

Qiu Sheng was also taken aback when he heard that the young master had lost it. But when I think back to the events of this day, something is wrong everywhere. He has followed Yan Bozhai for many years, and he knows the importance of doing things. Don't panic to find it first, first inquire about the little guy on duty at the back door, and then find Mama Zhao to testify.

Although Mama Zhao heard that something had happened, she was a little flustered, but she was not old and confused. I'm afraid of causing trouble for my wife, so I insist that I don't know anything. I only heard that Mrs.'s relatives sent someone to deliver the child's clothes, but I couldn't help but even Mrs. was deceived

Qiu Sheng couldn't ask why, and remembered Zhang Qingting's feelings, thinking for a while, he suddenly remembered that it was not a relative's wife at all, it was Zhao Ju's daughter-in-law

Then the motive for her to rob Mrs. is unknown, and the Zhu family does not know her, but willingly follows her, then this is not a hijacking, it is a conspiracy

What Yan Bozhai did on the night of the Lantern Festival, Qiu Sheng knew. Because that day, he received Yan Bozhai's order and sent a group of outlaws who had been taken in from King Yan's mansion to do the murderous work for him

But Qiu Sheng had no way of knowing what the specific situation was afterwards, because Yan Bozhai intentionally or unintentionally excluded him, and sent another henchman to do it. This is also his mastery, everything is done by different people, so even if one is caught, he will never confess all the circumstances.

Qiu Sheng is a little undecided now, whether to hide from him that it was Zhang Qingting who came to rob the Zhu family. If he said that, as a housekeeper, he would not be able to escape the blame for such a thing no matter what. But if you don't say it, if you are found out by Yan Bozhai, then your fate will definitely not be easy

But after thinking about it, now the maids and servants around the Zhu family are all insisting that Mrs. was lured away, so why do they have to do the opposite? Not to mention, at least you can get through the difficulties in front of you first. If he said it, he would immediately be responsible. With Yan Bozhai's violent nature, I'm afraid the first person to blame is himself. Then why are you still doing this stupidity?

Qiu Sheng made up his mind, and on the one hand, he sent someone to deliver a letter to Yan Bozhai, and on the other hand, he personally rode a horse and led people to pretend to find the Zhu family and the little young master. However, he also explained to the person who sent the letter, "I told the lord that someone pretended to be a relative of the lady's maiden family and abducted the lady and the young master."

Today, above the court, many courtiers and the capital's leaders have discussed a lot, and the matter of the chief examiner of the Spring Mansion, which is the most concerned, has finally been decided.

No one expected that due to the death of "heartbroken" Master Yan, the emperor decreed that the position of chief examiner this year would be temporarily vacant, in order to show the emperor's remembrance and commemoration. Only Yan Bozhai and Meng Shangde were appointed to serve as deputy examiners together with the head of the academy.

The ministers were all in an uproar, what did this mean? It is said that it is vacant, but there is still an emperor above, wouldn't this become a saint who will personally serve as the chief examiner this year? The candidates of this year have really become protégés

But is this the emperor's occasional act this year, or is it a convention? Does that mean that the emperor doesn't want to see a dominant situation in the future, so he has to do this act to set an example? The ministers had their own speculations in their hearts, but no one dared to say anything. just obeyed the emperor's will and let him issue the decree.

But are there no objections? Of course, it will not be like Yan Bozhai, who held his breath and pretended to persuade His Majesty, "Take care of the dragon's body, don't worry too much about the death of your father, especially not to abolish the country for personal reasons."

What does he mean? With a little chewing, those scheming ministers will understand. People don't want this position to be vacant, and there is also the title of the division, who doesn't know how to worry about Yan Bozhai? But Your Majesty is just pretending to be confused, pushing the four and not giving it to him, so what can he do?

But can this be said explicitly? can't be because he stands in Yan Bozhai's position, even if he doesn't intentionally want to compete for the position of the main exam, he can also please and listen to it. It's just that what his mind is, it's Sima Zhao's heart

Meng Shangde thought it was funny, but he didn't want to get an empty assistant examiner. Even if the examiner doesn't give it to him, and doesn't give it to the Yan family, don't bully yourself, Your Majesty, okay?

Relying on the old and virtuous Shao, he also came out to add oil and vinegar, deliberately following Yan Bozhai's words, but his meaning was more tactful, to the emperor's benevolence and filial piety, and not to forget the flattery of the teacher. However, he thought that the country was worried, and the court of the Baoju Yuan was the main examiner, so as not to make the emperor too hard.

The two of them are powerful in the middle of the court, and as soon as they jumped out to express their attitude, the subordinates on both sides jumped out to echo each other, but the emperor sitting on the golden dragon chair had made up his mind, and the final word was finalized, "This matter has been decided, and please don't discuss it anymore."

Others were just fine, but Meng Zhan was secretly worried behind the main hall. I felt in my heart that my father's actions today were a bit reckless. No matter how the Meng Yan family looks like each other, but today's move has a faint intention of joining forces to force the emperor to comply, which is a bit disrespectful. Although the emperor didn't see the slightest fluctuation on the surface, he was probably a little unhappy in his heart

Recently, with the investigation of Yan Bozhai, Meng Zhan also had some bad premonitions in his heart. If it is said that Yan Bozhai framed Yan Bozhai back then, and faintly got the tacit consent of that year, does it mean that the emperor has calculated to bury a wedge of discord between the two of them since then?

Since ancient times, the king's power and strategy have been the most important way of people's hearts and checks and balances. If the emperor had thought about how to support the two of them back then, and then let them restrain each other, wouldn't his family have died more unjustly?

Meng Zhan decided that after returning home tonight, he had to talk to his father about this issue. But after the next dynasty, he had more important things to do.

After the court, a long-life lock worn by a child and a hairpin for a woman had been sent to Meng Zhan's hands. And Yan Bozhai also received the news that his wife and children were kidnapped.

"What?" Yan Bozhai was furious, and suddenly rewarded the person who came to deliver the message with a big slap: "There are so many people in the entire mansion, how can you still lose people?" Are you all blind and deaf? ”

The subordinates who were beaten did not dare to make a sound, and rushed back with the angry Yan Bozhai.

Meng Zhan took the two ornaments and weighed one or two, Yan Bozhai was frustrated in the court today, and he was already in a bad mood, if he rashly came forward directly, he was afraid that he would be forced even more. So he asked the little servant to hire someone and wrote a note to entrust him with these two things to send to Yanfu.

When Yan Bozhai returned to the house, he received this package of things and a sentence, "If you want their mother to return, send the people you caught on the night of the Lantern Festival to the bottom of the Yan Tower in the east of the city at sunset."

Yan Bozhai was furious and slammed something to the ground, he knew who was the ghost

(There are still 2 hours to start the college entrance examination, I wish all the students who are going to take the exam at home can achieve satisfactory results, come on)
