Chapter 275: Death
Xu Fu watched through the window as Zhang Yi was coming towards him in the night, his steps were steady and heavy, and his demeanor faded away from the previous fierceness, and he was a completely different person. Thinking of Zhang Yizheng and Zhao Huang's trouble, I vaguely understood that this matter had nothing to do with Brother Xu Ying, so I didn't think about Zhang Yizheng's thoughts about bringing him here, just saying that the way this matter was handled from beginning to end was really good. If he didn't die, presumably Brother Xu Ying would not be too bad to live this life with Zhang Yizheng.
"Fifth brother, offended." Zhang Yizheng pushed the door in, sat down in a robe, and Zhu Gui personally sent the banquet in, and quietly withdrew after pouring the wine.
"Please." Zhang Yi was holding up the wine glass, and her demeanor and tone were very polite.
Xu Fu sat down opposite Zhang Yizheng without saying a word, drank all the wine in front of him, and then filled it up, saluted Zhang Yizheng, and then did it as a respect. The wine is a good aging, mellow and fragrant, not spicy in the throat, the body is warm, three glasses of wine in the stomach, Xu Fu felt that there was something in the body gradually came to life.
Zhang Yizheng didn't say much, just buried his head in eating and drinking, and after a while, the two of them put their chopsticks when they were full of food and drink, and looked up at each other. He took Zhao Huang in, and he always owed Zhang Yizheng an explanation, Xu Fu said calmly: "The third master has something to ask." ”
In the past, Xu Fu was in front of Cui Cheng, and later Xu Fu was silent disdain and confrontation in front of Zhang Yizheng. And today, after killing Zhao Huang and hanging Zhao Huang's head on the city wall to show the public, and unceremoniously inviting Xu Fu here, Xu Fu can finally treat himself with such a safe and equal attitude. Life is really wonderful, Zhang Yizheng smiled, and said carefully: "Yesterday, Zhao Huang said something to me, I don't understand something, so I want to ask the fifth brother." ”
When people are cornered, they will do many unexpected things, not to mention that those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, Zhao Huang has already broken off with his brother and sister. There is no reason to hide anything from them. Looking at Zhang Yizheng's reaction, he must have known something. But the matter has reached this point, and it is impossible to hide it, it is better for the soldiers to cover up the water and earth, Xu Fu thought about it and said calmly: "Third master, please ask." ”
Zhang Yizheng saw that Xu Fu's eyes that looked like Brother Xu Ying, although they were half-hanging and refused to look at him, his whole person looked calm. sat upright, and sighed a little in his heart for Xu Fu's calmness, but he didn't directly say what Zhao Huang said, but said: "I know from the beginning, the fifth brother looks down on me, and even hates me very much." It's all for Brother Sakura, but is there such a thing? ”
Xu Fu thought for a long time and nodded lightly: "Although things have come to this point, it is useless to say more." But if the third master can. Please put yourself in your shoes, and you will know that the Xu family and even Brother Ying hate you deservedly. ”
Zhang Yizheng's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he said with a smile: "According to what the fifth brother said, if the Xu family can, it is normal to put me to death?" ”
Xu Fu shook his head: "Such a big family wants to live." Brother Sakura is already married to you, and now you are doing well. There is no need to talk about this topic again. The third master asked the others. ”
Zhang Yizheng smiled and said meaningfully: "Of course, you don't need to ask this topic again, although the fifth brother is sometimes confused." But Xu Hou has always been very clear. ”
Xu Fu saw that he had been going around in circles, and he was secretly a little irritable, but he couldn't directly pick out the words. There can only be silence.
Zhang Yizheng also fell silent, and after a long time, the lights exploded, and Zhu Gui knocked lightly on the door outside, and said in a low voice: "Third master, the hour is almost up." ”
Zhang Yizheng said again: "Zhao Huang said a lot, but I think that no matter what, since Brother Ying has married me, the Zhongxin Marquis Mansion and the Kangwang Mansion are already in-laws, and this relationship should be maintained." What's more, I really love Brother Sakura and want to have children with her and live a good life. Fifth brother, do you understand? ”
Xu Fu nodded with some difficulty.
"I won't say more about that. Today's situation is not the same as many years ago, the Loyal Marquis Mansion and the Kang Wangfu are already grasshoppers on the line, if one is not good, the other cannot escape. It is one that is prosperous and one is lost. Zhang Yizheng believed that Xu Fu could understand what he meant, and stood up with a smile: "Anyway, Fifth Brother, you are always surnamed Xu, and you are the lifesaver of me and Brother Ying, I can't treat you too politely, so I will personally send Fifth Brother out early tomorrow morning." What do you think, fifth brother? ”
It's not so much a request for advice as a notice. Xu Fuzi knew that he had no room to refuse, so he said lightly: "Third master, please take care of yourself." ”
Zhang Yizheng walked out of the door and instructed Zhu Gui: "After greeting the other two people, Haosheng asked, what is their relationship with King He's Mansion?" Hold your breath, it's enough to be able to speak," he said, striding out, turning over and riding away.
Xu Fu listened to the movement outside, and suddenly felt an indescribable sense of peace and tranquility in his heart.
It was nearly the third watch, and the entire Kangwang Mansion had already fallen into silence, Brother Xu Ying raised his head from the drawing paper, rubbed the back of his sore neck, and said softly: "The third master hasn't come back yet?" ”
Qiu Rong, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly said: "When it was not, the maid had instructed the second gate before, if the third master came back, he would come to report immediately, so that the kitchen could prepare food." No one has come to report yet. ”
Brother Xu Ying's heart was inexplicable. There are really too many things happening these days, not to mention the illness and treacherous situation of Empress Zhu in the palace, even tonight, there is also a Xu Fu who is locked up with the chaotic party left by the previous dynasty, and Zhang Yizheng led Xu Zhi to pick up Uncle Chi outside the palace gate, and he wants to deal with Uncle Chi. Also, Zhao Huang's death and Chi Bo's disappearance are next to each other, will it arouse the alarm of those people? What will be the reaction and countermeasures of those people? I'm even more worried about whether Zhang Yizheng's trip will not go well and cause some trouble.
Brother Xu Ying pinched his eyebrows hard, and secretly told himself that this was the most difficult threshold, and everything would be fine when this threshold passed. Seeing this, Qiu Rong said cautiously: "Grandma is tired, the maid will rub it for you?" ”
Brother Xu Ying looked at Qiu Rong, this is Princess Kang's carefully selected place next to her and Zhang Yizheng, which has the function of connecting rooms, but has never been used This function, more of a function is to make her a lubricant for all kinds of intertwined human relationships up and down in King Kang's mansion. She didn't know what Qiu Rong thought, but in her heart, Qiu Rong did a very good job of making this lubricant, and she had no reason to refuse Qiu Rong's overtures, so she smiled and nodded: "Okay." ”
Qiu Rong cleaned her hands, took a silk handkerchief and wrapped it on Brother Xu Ying's head, and gently held it for her, but her technique was not much different from Qingyu, which was more authentic. Brother Xu Ying remembered the situation when Mama Qu and Princess Kang kneaded on weekdays, so he asked, "Is this what I learned from Mama Qu?" ”
Qiu Rong didn't deny it, and said generously: "Yes." Mama saw that the maid had a good hand, so she taught the maid this hand. In the past, when the grandmother was not there, she was a servant serving the princess. ”
Brother Xu Ying smiled: "Then I picked up a big bargain." It is also the mother concubine who is willing to have you and sister-in-law, how much heart has been saved here and outside. ”
Qiu Rong knew that she was lifting herself, so she couldn't help but purse her lips and laugh, working harder and harder, until Brother Xu Ying's whole body was full of Tai and drowsy. In a trance, he heard a soft knock on the courtyard door, and hurriedly sat up straight and said, "Go and see, is the third master back?" ”
As soon as Zi Haze opened the curtain, she saw Qingyu hurriedly entering from outside, and said, "Grandma, there is a decree in the palace, the concubine asks grandma to make up according to the product, hurry up." The incense case is already being set up in front of me. ”
At this time? Brother Xu Ying thought of Empress Zhu's condition, and was a little more worried, so he hurriedly got up and ordered someone to take clothes and jewelry to dress up, and asked, "Do you know what is going on?" ”
Qingyu shook her head: "I don't know the specifics, the right maid asked the grandmother who passed the word, although she couldn't say anything, but she didn't have a panicked look when she met." ”
That's good. Brother Xu Ying hurriedly packed up and rushed out, halfway through, he saw a row of lanterns in front of him, it was Zhang Yiduan who was the first, followed by the delicate and weak Feng Bao'er, and had to say hello to the two of them.
"I've seen my third sister-in-law, why don't you see my third brother?" Zhang Yiduan was as respectful as ever, but the light in his eyes was much brighter than usual.
"He has gone out for something, and he has sent people to look for it." Brother Xu Ying swept over Zhang Yiduan's face, and his eyes fell on Feng Bao'er's face, seeing that the husband and wife were pretending to be calm, but their eyes were not normal, and the corners of their lips were also trying their best to pull down, and there was a faint number in his heart - Empress Zhu even solved Zhang Youran's troubles, how could she not care about Zhang Yiduan, an adult grandson born to a side concubine and who was born to a poor family? smiled and said: "The third uncle and the third brother and sister are really in good spirits on happy occasions, and they look so good." ”
Feng Bao'er couldn't help but touch her cheeks proudly, and said with a sarcastic smile: "Really? In the middle of the night, the third sister-in-law can be so star-like? ”
Zhang Yi glared at her and said, "Third sister-in-law, don't be like her." Look at her frivolously. ”
Brother Xu Ying confirmed his guess, calmed down the uneasiness a little, smiled and went forward to join the Wang family and the others. When he went to the front, he saw that the middle door of King Kang's mansion was wide open, and the prince Zhang Yicheng and others had already set up an incense case and waited in front, and Zhang Yizheng was also standing inside. Where the two looked at each other, Zhang Yizheng looked calm, so the stone hanging in Brother Xu Ying's heart fell steadily.
Sure enough, it was Zhang Yi who was the duke of Duanping County, and Feng Baoer was officially awarded the title of the second grade. Except for the husband and wife, they finally got their wish and were beaming, but the prince Zhang Yicheng and others were worried. When the hustle and bustle dissipated and everyone returned to the room, Zhang Yizheng's first sentence was: "Niangniang is not good." The second sentence reads: "The old craftsman surnamed Chi died, and what was sent out was a corpse, and the cause of death was unknown." ”
Brother Xu Ying was a little dazed, his heart was heavy and uncomfortable, he stayed for a moment, and said, "Then do we have to prepare?" ”
Zhang Yizheng smiled bitterly: "It's not good to prepare, right?" Before the words fell, I heard the earth-shattering commotion outside, but what I shouted was: "The queen is dead!" Then they mourned, and wept loudly inside and out.
At this time, it had not been more than half an hour since Zhang Yiduan's decree was issued.
