There is a saying that 'the year is afraid of the Mid-Autumn Festival and the moon is afraid of half, and people are afraid of the cold at the age of four or nine'.

After the autumn decision, winter is in the blink of an eye. In another blink of an eye, the end of the year is approaching.

Hu Weiyong, who was hit by the pain of killing his son twice, lay at home for two months before he recovered. Laba finally began to meet guests on this day.

It was Hood who picked up the guests for him. In the past two months, it was also Hood who took care of him with and urine.

There were already few people in his house. Now that the son is gone, the wife has also returned to her parents' house and never came back, even the coachman Lao Huang and the porter Uncle Qin have folded. Beat and scold, and can only count on his nephew.

There were eight guests who came to his house to drink laba porridge today, and there were many of the seven monkeys, as well as Li Shanchang's younger brother Li Cunyi. Li Cunyi's son Li You was also killed by the Zhu family's father and son a few years ago, so he and Hu Weiyong have a sense of hatred.

And the case of the seven monkeys and the four princes has dragged on until now. So they're monkeys now......

In fact, the case was about to be closed, and Zhao Butang of the Criminal Department had already given both sides a treat.

On the fourth side, the main trouble is that shot. After Zhao Zhu and the swordsmen and penmen of the Criminal Department combined, they were given to open a 'cannon', not a 'cannon'.

Because the cannon on the edge of the stone word is a stone thrower. The fourth child uses this kind of cannon for the purpose of throwing stones to break the door, which is equivalent to a door opening tool such as a door breaking mallet.

Of course, the severity was much lower than that of artillery in the capital.

As for the seven monkeys, it's even simpler, and it's over with nothing technical at all.

Who knew that just before the case was closed, Zhao Butang, who was bent on eliminating disasters with others, was actually slaughtered first.

Last month, because the defendant was sent to accept bribes and commuted his sentence, Boss Zhu was furious, and he was pushed out of the court and died with a stick.

Boss Zhu, who was still angry, ordered Zhao Zhu's entire family to be beheaded, and even the ancestral grave was dug up for him......

Those who know the inside story know that the emperor is simply using the topic to play. Zhao Zhu actually died on slaughtering the white duck for Hu Weiyong.

The dignified secretary of the criminal department, the emperor's minister of justice, did not strictly enforce the law for the emperor, but instead acted favoritism for the prime minister. No emperor can keep him if he does this.

This kind of thing happened to the previous ministry, and Kaiji, who took over Shangshu, was naturally cautious, and it was too late to cross the river with his eggs, let alone wade into this troubled water.

As a result, the case was put on hold indefinitely. The emperor didn't urge, but when the New Year was approaching, he lifted the ban on the four princes and the seven monkeys and let them go out.

But I don't know when the title and position will be restored, let alone the military power......

It is conceivable that the seven monkeys are full of complaints and resentment, and they are about to fill up the Qinhuai River.

So today's Laba banquet can be said to be the meeting of the Alliance of the Frustrated......

~~

The fragrant laba porridge was served, and Hu Weiyong didn't drink two sips, so he began to burst into tears.

Everyone knows that Hu Xiang misses his son again.

Li Cunyi also shed tears with him, touching the scene, and he also thought of his son who was barbecued by Boss Hu.

Although the seven marquis couldn't shed tears, they also sighed for a long time, and couldn't help but complain about the emperor's coldness and ruthlessness.

"Old man, you're ready to rebel." At this time, Hu Weiyong suddenly said quietly.

The atmosphere of crying, crying, mourning and resentment came to an abrupt end, and everyone looked at Hu Weiyong, who had been criticized for being timid.

"Haha, Hu Xiang, I didn't hear clearly." Lu Zhongheng hahaha: "You mean you still prepared breakfast for us?" ”

"Don't bother, we won't stay and drink until we are home." Li Cunyi and others also hurriedly laughed and said:

"Come, drink, drink."

Hu Weiyong's eyes swept over everyone coldly, and he raised his voice and said:

"What the old man said is that I'm ready to rebel, do you understand?!"

"......" Now everyone can't interrupt, and no one dares to pick up, and the hall is deadly silent.

"What, you're scared?" Hu Weiyong's contemptuous gaze swept over everyone and teased: "Aren't they all quite heroic? Do you talk about 'if you provoke Lao Tzu, you will go against his mother' all day long?

"Aren't you scared of the old man all day long? Now that the old man is strong, why are you cowardly? Hu Weiyong got up on crutches and passed the shoulders of several monkeys with the tip of the cane.

A few monkeys didn't have a temper at all, and Lu Zhongheng whispered with a cramped face: "Didn't you also say it, beware that the wall has ears." ”

"Don't worry, there is no outsider in my house now, and even this meal was delivered by Xinghualou." Hu Weiyong said lightly: "Look at how scared you are." ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good, that's good......"

"Why did Hu Xiang suddenly come up with such an idea?" Fei Ju asked, and everyone also looked at Lao Hu, wondering if he was sick or if he had taken the wrong medicine.

"Why, my only son, was killed by their father and son, and twice—isn't this reason for rebellion sufficient?!" Hu Weiyong's old face turned red, even if two months had passed, he still couldn't calm down when he remembered that he had been played so badly.

"Ah, didn't the sixth child do that, could it be that the emperor was also involved?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

"Without the emperor's acquiescence, he dares to play with the old man so unscrupulously?" Hu Weiyong said coldly.

In fact, Boss Zhu was not involved in that incident at all. But people, after failure, always tend to think of the opponent as strong. As if this can make your failure seem less humiliating.

"But the upper position has always been very partial to Hu Xiang." The crowd was puzzled.

"Preference?" Hu Weiyong was so angry that his mouth was crooked, his hands trembled, and he said with resentment: "If you really like it, you won't know that the old man is kept in the dark, but he will pretend to pardon my son." After the old man refused, he asked me to go to the prison to behead. And then deliberately let the old man find out, my son was replaced again? Since ancient times, it has been rare to see an emperor who plays with the prime minister like this! ”

"It's really perverted." Everyone sighed and said: "Don't feel sorry for Hu Xiang just thinking about it." But why did the emperor treat Hu Xiang like this? ”

"Not because of you?" Hu Weiyong said coldly.

"Ah, us?" Seven monkeys pointed at themselves.

"Why did you ignore the old man's words in the first place?" Hu Weiyong completely stopped being polite to them, and reprimanded them with a split face:

"Did the old man tell you that you just need to ask for confessions and get those spies out of the house. It's good that you have the audacity to beat them to death one by one, and send them to the door of the fourth family to demonstrate!

"Do you think the emperor doesn't know, is this going for him? It's good now, the thing that originally took up enough of Li'er has become a forced palace! If it weren't for that iron card, the emperor would have skinned the seven of you and hung them on the noon gate for public display! ”

ps. I can only write it today, so I sent it. Go on......
