Mrs. Su's maid guarded the door to let off steam, Su Yinghua and Su Houhua's sister and brother stood silently aside, and Mrs. Su tearfully told Wen Yi about the reason: "Not long after the master took office, he noticed that there was an abnormality in King Zheng's mansion, and he was worried that he would not be able to win the trust of people by rashly suing him, so he sent someone to inquire about the news. King Zheng personally came to the door and asked our master to cover it up, because he mentioned that the Dongping Mansion was also involved, and our husband and wife did not dare to act rashly, so we had to make a false mistake and look for an opportunity to report. ”

Wen Yi thought of the situation mentioned by Jiang Yao's father in the secret letter, as well as Luo Mingmin's words, and guessed a little in her heart: "This is also human nature, is it a vassal king, a holy son, if there is no conclusive evidence, how can he win the trust of others?" Since the grass has been alarmed, in order to spread the news and protect yourself, it is also right, otherwise wouldn't the crimes of King Zheng's Mansion be revealed to the world? ”

Mrs. Su choked up and said: "Not only did our master think so, but the three directors of the Qingzhou Mansion at that time all thought like this, but they didn't say it explicitly. But that King Zheng was really cunning, he didn't believe that we were really obedient, so he sent many minions to infiltrate the mansions, whether it was the outer courtyard or the inner house, they all planted people, monitored every day, and when there was any change, he secretly imprisoned people, and even secretly assassinated. I'm not afraid to tell my niece and daughter-in-law that you know that there are auxiliary officials in the prefect's yamen and the political secretary's yamen, so they were killed by the people of Zheng Wangfu, and they only said that they died of a sudden illness, and even their families were sent away, and their lives and deaths are unknown......"

Wen Yi was taken aback: "He actually dares to be so bold?" That's an official sent by the imperial court, so he's not afraid of alarming the capital? ”

Mrs. Su shook her head: "It's just an auxiliary officer, it's not as important as the chief officer, he killed people here, and he sent someone to fill the vacancy after Jingli, and for some reason he became his henchman." As for other officials who were unwilling to obey, he also put the whole family under house arrest, and then let his cronies handle official affairs on his behalf. How do the people in the capital know that something has happened in Qingzhou? ”

Wen Yi still couldn't believe it: "Even if he can cover the sky with one hand in Qingzhou, how can he do it without leaking?" Not to mention the fact that the officials here come from different backgrounds and origins, and each has their own relatives and friends, as long as they come by private messages or old friends, wouldn't it be extremely easy to be discovered? After a pause, she tentatively asked, "If any official's relatives and friends come to visit, what about King Zheng's Mansion?" ”

Mrs. Su sighed: "There are not many officials who have been assassinated or imprisoned by King Zheng's Mansion, most of them can only be coerced by their families to continue to handle official business as usual, otherwise with only a few staff members of King Zheng's Mansion, how can they handle the official affairs of this government properly?" Even if there is a private message or a visit from relatives and friends, as long as I don't leak the news, I won't find out the clues. You also saw it just now, when I saw you two young people, didn't there be someone 'waiting' around me? There's another one outside the master's study."

Wen Yi frowned, a little worried about Jiang Yao, since she went to Jinnan, she was naturally different from relatives and friends passing by, she was going to live for a long time, but it was better not to show her stuffing. You know, Uncle Jiang really leaked the news

Mrs. Su said again: "Originally, if King Zheng's Mansion was just like this, it would be fine, and our husband and wife would not respond to the story for the time being." At present, it is almost the end of the year, and I plan to send a few family members to Dongping Mansion in the name of giving New Year's gifts to my sister and brother-in-law, and quietly transfer to the capital on the way to deliver a letter and report this earth-shattering secret. Who knew that King Zheng actually ......" she gritted her teeth, "actually ......" before she finished speaking, she burst into tears.

Su Yinghua's face turned pale, he took a deep breath, and said calmly to Wen Yi: "King Zheng is worried that his father is not sincere and convinced, and he wants to take the opportunity to get closer to the Dongping Palace, so he proposed to his father that he wants to marry me as a side concubine, and he will pass the door in the spring next year." ”

Wen Yi stood up suddenly: "What? She turned to Mrs. Sue: "How does this work?" "Wen Xian, who is the daughter of Jinshi, is still reluctant to be the side concubine of the vassal king, let alone Su Yinghua, the daughter of the third grade? Besides, the Su family is also a family of eunuchs and royal in-laws, how can they be willing to suffer such a great humiliation?

Mrs. Su said angrily with tears in her eyes: "The master refused, so King Zheng went to Dongping and asked his sister and brother-in-law to be a lobbyist." My sister actually wrote to me and said that Princess Zheng's Yao family background is mediocre, and she doesn't know the general situation, and her only son is also weak and has mediocre qualifications. With the backing of Dongping Palace, I don't worry that King Zheng will treat Ying'er badly."

Wen Yi couldn't help but say, "How could Princess Dongping say such a thing? Isn't her cousin her niece? ”

Mrs. Su sneered: "Their husband and wife only have power in their eyes, where can they still take care of their flesh and blood?" They colluded with King Zheng's mansion and agreed that when King Zheng ascended the throne as emperor in the future, they would assign Dongping, Taicheng, and Guihai to all of them as vassals, and the dispatch of officials and taxes would be taken care of by themselves, and the imperial court would not interfere. King Zheng has no sisters, Dongping Wangfu already has a princess, and there is no county lord, they want to borrow my Ying'er to marry a dream, my daughter has her own parents, why should she follow her uncle's wishes to marry? ”

Wen Yi was taken aback again. Once it falls into his hands, the annual tax income of the imperial court will be less than 30%, and the sea will be under his jurisdiction, and the people in the lower reaches of the Dongjiang River will be controlled by it, and the vast territory south of the Dongjiang River will inevitably not escape his involvement...... King Zheng is really dizzy, and he is willing to agree to such a condition, King Dongping simply wants to cut the land as the king, and if Longwang Shu really lets him get it, as long as he lives and runs for a few years, the throne in the capital may also belong to him

Thinking of this, Wen Yi couldn't help but be anxious: "Since Dongping Wangfu means this, it can't be trusted, is my aunt planning to let Xianggong and I quietly take my cousin away?" ”

Mrs. Su nodded heavily: "It doesn't matter if the master and I do, I'm afraid that the two children will be trapped by King Zheng." Since I heard that Brother Xing'er is going to come here, our husband and wife have discussed, first in the name of visiting relatives and giving New Year's gifts, let Hou'er's personal clerk pretend to be him, and go north to Dongping with gifts, Hou'er secretly stayed at home, pretending to be a small servant, Ying'er also pretended to be a maid, hid in the sewing room, and then her maid pretended to be her sick, and when you came, the child was handed over to you in the name of giving slaves and maids. As long as their sisters and brothers are safe and sound, and the lord and I are related to the Dongping Palace, King Zheng will not dare to do anything to us. ”

Wen Yi said worriedly: "I'm afraid that if he is angry, it will be unfavorable to my aunt and uncle." Moreover, now the Dongping Royal Mansion is ......"

Mrs. Su sneered: "When they proposed marriage, our husband and wife were clearly opposed, and my sister also knew it. We objected, not because King Zheng was rebellious, but because we didn't want our daughter to be a concubine. Even if King Zheng knew that I secretly sent Ying'er away, he would only think that our husband and wife were dissatisfied with the family affair and would not think too much. Now that the Qingzhou political envoy is sick, the entire political envoy has no one to do anything, and the Qingzhou prefect is incompetent, if there is no one to preside over the judge, he still wants to hide it from the court? Besides, they thought that Hou'er was on his way north to Dongping, and until the truth was discovered in the Dongping Palace, our husband and wife would be fine. ”

Wen Yi hurriedly asked, "Then when they find out, what about my aunt and uncle?" ”

Mrs. Su sneered again: "If you find it, you will find it, by that time, Ying'er Hou'er has already successfully escaped, and our husband and wife will deal with him that I want to see my own sister, who sacrifices my niece's own sister for a little more money in the domain, is she willing to give up even her own sister's life?"

Wen Yi frowned, and Su Yinghua knelt down in front of her mother with tears in her eyes: "For the sake of my daughter, my parents are in danger of life and death, how can my daughter feel at ease?" Besides, if his daughter escapes, if Zheng Wangfu knows about it, he will definitely send someone to chase him, and he will affect his cousin and sister-in-law. It's better to give up your daughter and let your cousin and sister-in-law only take her younger brother, and her daughter will really enter King Zheng's mansion, and she won't fall into the name of the Su family."

Mrs. Su's face turned pale: "What do you want to do?" Don't think that your mother doesn't know your thoughts, you are the same as your brother, your mother was born in October, and for more than ten years, you have been suffering from hard work and careful upbringing, and you have been pulled so big, how can you bear to let your father and mother suffer that heartache, and the white-haired person sends the black-haired person? ”

Su Yinghua couldn't hold back anymore, hugging her mother and crying. Although Su Houhua was only in his early tens, he was already sensible, and when he saw his mother and sister so sad, he knelt beside his sister and said word by word: "If my sister doesn't leave, I won't leave either." I can't leave my father and mother to suffer here."

"You kid, why are you disobedient?" Mrs. Su was so anxious that she raised her hand to hit him, but she couldn't do it, so she could only hug him and cry together.

Wen Yi was a little at a loss: "Auntie, cousin, cousin, don't cry first...... " Yahuan, who was guarding the door, was also anxious, rushed in and lowered her voice: "Mrs., Miss, young master, be quiet, don't alarm the back" Mrs. Su and Su Yinghua suddenly stopped crying and hurriedly wiped their tears. Su Houhua was a little confused, but he also wiped his face with his sleeve and sniffed again.

Yahuan retreated to the door, Wen Yi's heart was in a flash, and she had already made up her mind. Although I don't know what Lord Su will say to Liu Dongxing, with Liu Dongxing's temperament, he will definitely agree to save people, and even so, there is no need to be a villain. It's just that the risks are still there, and she needs to think about how to deal with them.

Their husband and wife are going to Kangnan to take office, King Zheng can't detain people, as long as the news of Su Yinghua's escape can be concealed for a while, they successfully leave the territory of Jinnan, Qingzhou, and they are out of danger.

Wen Yi asked Mrs. Su: "Can that Miss Su in the backyard really hide it?" The minions of King Zheng in this mansion really won't find out that it's fake? ”

Mrs. Su wiped away her tears and said, "As early as when the master found out that there was something wrong with King Zheng's mansion, our husband and wife discussed that in case of an accident, the children must be saved, so they asked the people who were waiting for them to dress up as them, and under the pretext of being sick, they stayed at home and did not go out or see outsiders. As soon as the people of King Zheng's Mansion entered the door, the young master of the Su family they saw was fake. It's just that those two children have been waiting with Ying'er Hou'er since they were children, reading and writing, etiquette and conversation, not inferior to other decent people's young ladies, as long as they don't meet people who have seen Ying'er Hou'er before, they won't worry about being discovered. ”

She looked at a pair of children: "Ying'er has been hidden by me in the needlework room, and Hou'er is hidden in my companion's house, except for the henchmen of my husband and wife, no one knows about it." Three days ago, I sent the fake Hou'er away, and also sent away the people arranged by Zheng Wangfu to be by his side, and then I put Hou'er into his own study as a small servant, and then transferred Ying'er to his side, and then let out a little bit in front of the mother-in-law just now......" She glanced at Wen Yi with some guilt, "I said that I received a letter from my sister-in-law, and I heard that you are not allowed to be a brother in the house, so I want to send you a girl......"

Wen Yi smiled: "Such a girl with an extraordinary background and good looks, my father-in-law doesn't have so much dignity to call, our husband and wife naturally want to provide for people well, and wait for them to reunite with their families soon." ”

This is what it means to promise to help, Mrs. Su's expression was relieved, and tears filled her eyes: "I just hope that there will be a day, that is, I will eat fasting and chant Buddha for the rest of my life, and I will be willing......" Su Yinghua also followed with red eyes. Su Houhua's eyes widened and looked at Wen Yi on the side.

Wen Yi hurriedly said: "Auntie, don't think about this first, and arrange things properly." I could have pretended to be aggrieved, reluctantly accepted the people, and then led them away openly. It's just that when you go out this way, it's best to retreat irrelevant people, so as not to let people break it. ”

Mrs. Su hurriedly said, "This is nature. I'll call someone to arrange it. ”

"Also, we are going, because of the tight time, we can only continue to take the land route, but if we want to leave the territory of Qingzhou, it will take two days, and I am afraid that we will be caught up by King Zheng......"

Mrs. Su said solemnly: "Then we will take the waterway, we will have an official ship according to the inspection and envoy department, and the lord will be selfish, and others will not be able to control the lord He has already thought of this, so he has ordered to go down and prepare all the drinking and water utensils on the ship, and even the boatmen are all manpower in the yamen." ”

Wen Yi hurriedly said: "If you don't take the land route, it's just two more people, and we can leave immediately." Changing to the waterway, not to mention what accidents will happen on the way to the pier, when you get off the bus and get on the boat, it is difficult to guarantee that someone will recognize your cousin and cousin, plus the manpower on the boat...... It's not that nephews and daughters-in-law can't trust uncles and aunts, since even officials can ask Zheng Wangfu to buy them, how can they guarantee that the boatmen used by the official ship will not be bought? If King Zheng catches up, all we have to do is ask the boatmen to stop the boat, and we won't be able to move a single step."

Mrs. Su was stunned: "That...... So what to do? It's too slow to take the land route, and by water, it only takes two days to get to the boundary of Cannes. Brother Xing'er is going to go there to take office, which is better than elsewhere. ”

"If you want to hurry, you can't get there." Wen Yi said, "Although the land route is risky, as long as my uncle and aunt hide it well, and we go fast, we can get out of danger safely; Although the waterway is fast, as long as there is a minions of King Zheng's Mansion among the shipwrights, our lives will be in the hands of others. Therefore, aunt, when we are gone, you can't just relax and let King Zheng's people know that you have different intentions."

Just as Wen Yi was struggling to persuade Mrs. Su, in the small garden study thirty feet away, Liu Dongxing also learned the true intentions of the Su family and his wife, and solemnly persuaded Master Su: "Uncle, I know that you don't want to be in the same league as the great rebels, as long as the children are safe, there will be no worries." But...... Wouldn't that be a pity? You could have done more."
