Everyone was shocked when they heard Zhuang's words, you must know that Qiongzhou is a miasma of smoke, and it has been a place for exiled prisoners since ancient times. Zhuang's cold proposal to go to Qiongzhou to take care of Wu Boyong made it difficult for everyone to react for a while.

The first to raise objections was Zhuang Zhiyong, after hearing the news that Zhuang was going to Qiongzhou to take care of Wu Boyong, who was seriously ill, Zhuang Zhiyong rushed over from Jinling directly and said that he would not let Zhuang go.

"No matter what you say today, I won't allow you to go to Qiongzhou, I thought that when we were in the capital, we all said that you stay in Yangzhou to take care of Wu Yuan, and someone in Qiongzhou will naturally take care of Boyong. That's not something you should worry about, even if you go? Do you know the art of medicine? Will you take care of the sick? Even if you could, would you be able to reach Qiongzhou alive? It's not as prosperous as Yangzhou, there are miasma insects and snakes, do you know who are there? All exiled criminals! Is that where you should be? Have you ever wondered what you will do with Wu Yuan when you leave? If you insist on going, don't blame me for ignoring the brotherhood and sisterhood! When something happens to Wu Boyong, don't blame me! Zhuang Zhiyong said excitedly.

He must make the necessary means to stop his sister, he doesn't mind being a villain, all this is for his sister's good, for his sister to forget Wu Boyong and live well, for the rest of his life without the drag of Wu Boyong, without the permission of the government, he went to Qiongzhou to visit an exiled prisoner privately, which would cost Zhuang's life!

Zhuang was silent, the moment she heard that Wu Boyong was seriously ill, she made up her mind to go to Qiongzhou, what about the remoteness, since Guangling business can be opened to Qiongzhou, Zhuang believes that she will be able to live in Qiongzhou. She didn't believe that Zhuang Zhiyong could do anything unfavorable to Wu Boyong, the two of them had known each other since childhood, saying that they were brothers-in-law, more like brothers.

"Brother, you don't have to persuade me, let alone threaten me, no matter what you say, I must go to Qiongzhou, Yuan Niang is also older, and she has also gone to school, the Wu family will take good care of her, she is the eldest lady of the Wu family, she is Boyong's blood and bones, her brothers and sisters will take care of her, she will grow up well." But Boyong is different, if I don't take care of Boyong, Boyong will definitely die in Qiongzhou, Boyong only has me, and only I am the most suitable person to take care of him, he is already disheartened, no matter who others go, they can't let him cheer up, and I am his wife, at this time, I should stand in his perspective for his sake. Don't worry, I will take good care of myself, I have enjoyed the glory and wealth, and I can also live the days of coarse tea and light rice. ”

Zhuang looked at the eyes of the eldest brother and said word by word, and went straight back to the house without Zhuang Zhiyong refutation.

Zhuang Zhi slammed his palm on the table and walked out of the middle courtyard angrily.

Back in Jinling, Zhuang Zhiyong immediately sent the housekeeper to Qiongzhou, in the name of transporting goods, sent a large number of medicines to Qiongzhou, Zhuang Zhiyong told the housekeeper that these drugs should be handed over to the shopkeeper of Guangling Firm, telling him that this is all the medicinal materials that can be purchased in Jiangnan, so that he must give Wu Boyong medicine.

Zhuang Zhiyong was a little painful, he stubbornly thought, this is for the good of his sister, he only has such a sister, he can't let his sister accompany Wu Boyong to die, Wu Boyong's body is not good, even if there is no medicine to go down, he will die in that wild place sooner or later, he can't come back to this prosperous place like flowers in the south of the Yangtze River, at least it is impossible to come back when he is alive.

Zhuang Zhiyong guessed the intentions of those people when Wu Boyong was sentenced to exile, Zhuang Zhiyong thought silently, even if our brothers see you off, I believe you will definitely choose this way, Wu Boyong is such a proud person, he will not be willing to become a marionette in the hands of others.

Zhuang Zhiyong comforted himself, this is all for everyone's good, Boyong, only if you die, the Wu family will not become a pawn in the hands of others, and the Zhuang family and Wu Yuan will not become the funeral objects of the Wu family.

When the Wu family was at a loss, the letter to the capital came back.

Cui's father said in the letter that Qin Xiangye promised to help and agreed to let Zhuang go to Qiongzhou to take care of Wu Boyong.

The premise is that the Wu family's business should give Qin Xiangye a thirty percent dividend every year, if you want Wu Boyong to live, then you need to pay this money every year, if you don't want to give it, it doesn't matter, Qin Xiangye has various ways to let Wu Boyong die quietly in Qiongzhou. As the backer of the Wu family, Qin Jitong will also tilt towards the Wu family in terms of the share of salt introduction, and on the Guanfu Road, the Wu family will also get help from the Prime Minister's Mansion. In this way, the Wu family and the Xiangfu are firmly tied together, and as time goes by, the Wu Mansion will no longer be an independent merchant, if the Xiangfu is in power, it will be fine, if Qin Jitong falls, the Wu Mansion will be finished.

At a time when partisanship is intensifying, it is not a good time to take refuge in the Prime Minister's House. This is the price of Qin Jitong's help.

Then Wu Zhonghe, who wrote the letter, was silent for a while, and the old lady had also heard the news that Wu Boyong was seriously ill in Qiongzhou, so she hurriedly came to the second room to ask for the news, and Wu Zhonghe showed the letter to the old lady in silence.

The old lady looked at the letter and was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "When I asked him for help, I should have thought of the price I had to pay, when the old lady was alive, our Wu family also dealt with him, your father said that Qin Jitong was a copper-smelling Xiangye, I didn't think much about it at the time, how beautiful the Wu family was at that time, the whole dynasty was like a fish in water, left and right, I was also old and confused, I actually believed that such an insatiable person as him would think of the good of the Wu family, and willingly helped the boss speak in front of the emperor and exempt him from the death penalty, I didn't expect it, His back hand turned out to be here. I'm afraid he's been waiting for you to beg him for a long time, and he's just throwing some good. ”

"Promise him, except to beg him, we can't think of any other way, it's important to save your eldest brother, if your eldest brother really dies of illness in Qiongzhou, I'm afraid that this old bone will also go with him." The old lady thought about it and said with a cold face.

"Mother, don't say that, you will definitely live a long life, children and grandchildren will be around your knees, I will agree to his conditions, as long as I can save my eldest brother, let alone say that it is divided into three percent, even if it is fifty percent, I have nothing to say."

Wu Zhonghe is no longer smart, but he is afraid that now he also thinks of the deep meaning of Wu Boyong's words in prison, but he is afraid that the eldest brother has long expected the thoughts of Qin Jitong and the people, Wu Zhonghe does not dare to think deeply, he only feels that the water in this is too deep, and it is not something he can involve, whether the Wu family can pass this pass safely can only be resigned to fate.

He only hated that he didn't listen to his eldest brother at the beginning, and he didn't take precautions for all this earlier. I'm afraid that the eldest brother's illness is a heart disease, is all his thoughts discouraged, he has long expected that the Wu family will become a victim of partisan disputes.

The Wu family has always been neutral in the partisan dispute, and the two sides are flattered but not clear which faction to support, this time the Wu family is finally going to be involved in the partisan dispute, and the people involved in the partisan dispute in all dynasties have not ended well, this is simply a gamble, it is a bet, the bet is right, from the dragon's work, the bet is wrong, and the door is full of beheading. The Wu family has long had ancestral teachings, and it is strictly forbidden for children and grandchildren to be involved in court disputes.

I heard that Qin Jitong supports the second prince, and the second prince is the prince of the emperor's favorite concubine Zheng Guifei, who is only six years old this year. And today's crown prince has been established, and he is the eldest prince born of the queen. One faction, led by Qin Jitong, supported the re-establishment of the second prince, and the emperor also liked the second prince as the crown prince, but he did not dare to change it at will because of the ancestral system. One faction is headed by Taifu, firmly princeling, and it is the ancestral system that is said to be the same as before.

Wu Zhonghe is now standing on the cliff, he can't choose, and the initiative is not in the hands of the Wu family.
