Chapter 229: Counterattack

The news that Zhu Yang was raided and imprisoned was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and it also announced that the storm had finally hit.

"This ...... How is this possible......"

Like all those who heard the news, Pingyang Hou's first reaction was to be stunned, but he quickly figured it out, things were not sudden, or rather, the events he originally thought were strange were finally right, it turned out that the emperor had gradually shown his impatience these days, but the arrogant Zhu Yang did not notice it, or rather, without Zhu Chunming, who really understood that the Sacred Heart was at the helm of the Zhu Party, no one in the Zhu Party could clearly perceive the Sacred Heart and use it for himself.

Zhu Yang was imprisoned, and two months after the storm, he was convicted and beheaded, and after this verdict came down, it shocked everyone again.

No one expected that the emperor would really give this order, according to everyone's guesses, at most he would be exiled for thousands of miles, but he didn't expect it to be a raid on his family and extermination.

The emperor gave up decades of affection and courtiers, and beheaded all his children and grandchildren when Zhu Chunming, who had served him for decades, had not yet had an anniversary sacrifice, and the only ones who survived were Zhu Chunming's old wife and a grandson, which was enough to show the emperor's benevolence and prevent his Zhu family from cutting off his children and grandchildren.

Since the emperor had decided so, the officials who had received the order unceremoniously tore off their gentle disguises, allowing the humiliation and resentment that had been pent up for a long time to erupt in an instant, and the revenge swept out of control like a flood.

After a month's break, more than half of the members of the Zhu Party, regardless of their official positions, were uprooted and expelled from the ranks of the imperial court.

In that month, the whole capital was shrouded in a howl of ghosts and wolves, how many families were separated, how many high-ranking nobles and nobles became criminals overnight, the sons of brocade clothes and jade were cut and distributed, and the ladies and ladies who were like treasures of Xiangche BMW were pulled out to be sold as official slaves.

Regardless of the princes of your family, as long as you dare to have a little relationship with the Zhu family, someone will fight you to the death, this is an opportunity to purge treachery, but also an opportunity to show your name in history, big and small eager to express their fierce loyalty The officials are everywhere, day and night, and try their best to clear up the treacherous and evil for the Qing Dynasty of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Among them, the Pingyang Marquis Mansion is targeted.

"Nonsense, nonsense, such a big hat" Pingyang Hou's face was pale, and he faced the officials who came to the door to accuse, "How could Ben Hou be in collusion with Zhu Dang"

These days, the ears of the officials who have listened to this kind of talk are calloused.

"Is there no evidence, will this official frame Hou Ye?" No mistakes, no word skipping. The officials said expressionlessly, waving their hands, "Please come with us.....

"There is something for Kang Yanzhang to tell Ben Hou that you are indiscriminately biting, greedy and slandering" Pingyang Hou was shocked and angry, when these flowing officials dared to be so unkind to these iron-beaten princes.

"Master Kang has a sentence for the official to ask Master Hou......" The officials were not afraid at all, with a contemptuous smile on their faces.

"Words?" Pingyang Hou Tie asked with a blushing face.

"Lord Kang wants me to ask you, are you the ones who are locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department to correct Lord Gu Hai and Gu Cunzhi? There are no mistakes, not a lot of words," the official said lightly.

Pingyang Hou's face suddenly turned pale.

Each of us will do something inadvertently, and we do these things, of course, in the spirit of the principle of self-benefit, but many times, our behavior will become a double-edged sword, there is a good side, when a change of environment, it can become a bad side.

For example, the behavior of Pingyang Hou who was bent on getting rid of the Gu family brothers and sisters, those slaves were collected by him, and all the behaviors at that time were for the sake of the royal reputation, but the premise is that in the eyes of the emperor, the assassinated Zhu Chunming is still a pathetic victim, and the fatherless Zhu Yang is still a pitiful weak person worthy of love, but now everything has changed, and the former victim has become a heinous crime and a prisoner who exterminated his family, so ......

"What's wrong with me doing that? I'm not for them, the Zhu family, I'm for the Great Zhou Law, for the purging of bandits, for the royal family, for the Qingming of the royal family, if I am anyone, I will do the same in the Pingyang Hou Mansion," Pingyang Hou shouted sharply, sneering.

He guessed that this must be the people of the Gu family who grabbed this point, and sued him desperately, this is their counterattack, the hundred-legged insect dies without stiffness, do they think that they can coax the emperor by crying a few words of injustice and saying a few words of grief and indignation?

"But...," the official smiled coldly, "Those slaves said that it was Master Hou who threatened them to give false testimony to frame the Gu brothers and sisters..."

“？” Pingyang Hou was stunned for a moment.

It turns out that ....... real counterattack is here

If you want to persuade some people to sue their old masters, you naturally have to use some means, which is a fact, but what they testified about is also a fact, how can it turn into evidence against him?

"This is slander and slander," Pingyang Hou gritted his teeth and shouted.

"If you are not dirty, if you are not contemptuous, please go to the Criminal Department and say it." The officials stopped being wordy, waved their big hands, and the officials behind them put on a posture of inviting people.

"Ben Hou wants to enter the palace to see the emperor," Pingyang Hou gritted his teeth and sneered.

How did things come to this, Pingyang Hou can't think about it now, the most important thing at the moment is that he must not be taken from home to the Criminal Department like this, in this way, even if it is okay in the end, his face will be lost.

"Don't you know? His Majesty was unwell and moved to the Xiyuan Palace to recuperate, and he didn't see anyone, so everything was left to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince....." The official once again showed a contemptuous smile, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has personally granted Lord Kang the Holy Decree, and is responsible for this three-division trial, and no one is allowed to resist the decree."

Pingyang Hou's heart felt like a scoop of cold water had been splashed, and his face was pale, this time it seemed that the incident had far exceeded his expectations, and it was very bad......

Could it be that his Pingyang Marquis Mansion would be planted in this gutter? It is impossible and impossible Pingyang Hou only felt a hot pain in his throat, panting but unable to say half a sentence, knowing that the situation was still unfavorable, and persisting any longer would only bring humiliation on himself, so he had to follow these officials with a flick of his sleeves.

With the departure of Pingyang Hou, Pingyang Hou's Mansion suddenly fell into chaos.

In the panicked atmosphere of the slaves in the courtyard, there was a sound of porcelain breaking from the house of the white jade county lord, which stimulated everyone's fragile nerves even more.

"I am the crown princess, I am the crown princess" Everything that can be smashed is smashed, and the white jade county lord standing in a mess has a hideous expression, she looked at the luxurious princess wedding dress on the hanger, staggered over, hugged the luxurious and well-made dress, and repeated this sentence in a muttered manner.

The hustle and bustle of the outside world, for Gu Bainiang, I don't know anything, the guards with expressionless faces outside the door are still thunderous, eating simple three meals a day, the yard experiences spring and summer, flowers and trees, all the flowers and trees that can be picked by her are finished, and the bark is almost peeled, no one comes to visit her again, but there are constantly things sent, and they are not so rare and precious, just some medical books, it seems that they are counting the time for her to finish reading, and there will be new ones every once in a while.

Closing the last page of the book, Gu Bainiang raised her eyes to look at the bookshelf that was simply built with a few wooden boards, which was already full of thin and thick books.

"It's been so much....." She put the book in her hand, stroked a book with her hand, and muttered in a low voice, although no one has ever said who sent these, but Gu Bainiang knew very well in her heart, the thought flashed, her heart beat sluggishly, and the hand on the book retracted as if she had touched charcoal.

Just like the brocade quilt that was placed in the cabinet, there were some things she didn't dare or wanted to touch, so she could only pretend not to see them.

There was a sound of footsteps outside, and Gu Bainiang turned around as if she was a thief.

It's really early to deliver food today...... She thought to herself, and when she looked at it, she couldn't help but be stunned.

The sunlight was draped obliquely on King Wenjun's body, still dressed in plain white robes, without a crown, only a hosta pulled up his black hair, and stood there indifferently, just like half a year ago.

Looking at Gu Bainiang's stunnedness, he smiled slowly.

"I've seen Your Highness." Gu Bainiang immediately bowed to the ground.

"Get up....." King Wenjun said.

Gu Bainiang got up and lowered her head.

"Do you have anything to pack?" No mistakes, no word skipping. King Wenjun didn't come over, but stood where he was and asked, his voice with a hint of imperceptible joy and ease, "You can go back....."

This sentence was like a thunderbolt that exploded in Gu Banniang's ears.

She jerked her head up and looked at King Wenjun.

"The Zhu family has fallen?" She asked.

The eyes of King Wenjun, who had a shallow smile on his face, fell on her face, and the smile gradually dissipated.

"Gu Xiang ....." He said slowly, "Did you know that there would be such a day......

This fluttering sentence came, Gu Bainiang's body couldn't help but be shocked, and a layer of sweat immediately appeared on her forehead.

"Your Highness....." She leaned down again, not daring to say more, only to feel the sharp gaze on her head weigh down.

Yes, she knew that there was such a day, although she didn't know how all this happened, she didn't know how many officials were planning in it, she didn't know how the Zhu Party fought back and struggled, and she didn't know the emperor's thoughts, she didn't know that in her previous life, she was nesting in the Shen family's mansion, guarding only the piece of heaven above her head, but what about her, she knew that the Zhu family had fallen, and the result of the exile of the family was beheaded.

Of course, in the fate she knew in her previous life, the fall of the Zhu family was three years later, and Zhu Chunming did not die, nor was he beheaded, but exiled, but this did not prevent her from having the courage to gamble on this fate, the fate of the Zhu family, and the fate of the Zhu party, although she didn't know how long she would have to wait, or maybe for a lifetime... But it's better than just regressing and letting others slaughter her, no matter how she lives for a lifetime, then she would rather choose this unknown bet.

So she tried her best to destroy herself, and she also had to confront Pingyang Hou, she knew that the Pingyang Hou family wanted to use Lingyuan's matter to hold herself, so she naturally could use this matter to hold them, she just wanted him Pingyang Hou to have a relationship with the Zhu family, because no one knew better than her that when the Zhu family fell, those so-called Zhu Party members were severely purged and liquidated.

Now she's winning the bet.
