After dinner, Haitang Reef came to the second courtyard under the pretext of eating after dinner.

No one has moved into the second hospital yet. A few rooms have not yet dissipated the smell, but the interior has begun to be arranged, and it is estimated that before the year, Hai Changan and his wife will be able to move in with small stones.

But right now, there is no one in the house, and the yard outside the house is empty. After dark, the second door is locked, and the people in the front yard will not come to the back house if they have nothing to do, and there are few people walking around in the second courtyard, which is more and more quiet and secluded, and it is a good place for secret conversations. As long as they put on a thick cloak to protect against the cold, have a house to block the wind, and have lanterns under the corridor to illuminate, the two brothers and sisters can talk with confidence, and if someone is a little closer to the yard, they can immediately notice.

Haijiao told his sister about today's experience in the Zhenguo Mansion.

Zhang Pinggui was arrested, Zhen Guogong and the old military division were very surprised, and several major generals in Chang'an also heard the news. Of course, not everyone surrounded Zhang Pinggui for interrogation, but the veteran who was good at interrogation was responsible for interrogating Zhang Pinggui in a secluded small room, and the rest of the people sat in a nearby big house, waiting for the juniors of the Zhou family to send back the latest interrogation results at any time.

Everyone listened to the results and discussed how to deal with them.

However, Zhang Pinggui is still a bit cunning. Even if it falls into the hands of the Zhou family, the case on his body cannot be washed away, and he has no intention of confessing honestly. He listened to what the Haijiao and Begonia brothers and sisters told him, and he didn't clench his teeth and refused to speak, but he refused to follow the interrogator's wishes. He just spoke according to his own thoughts, but from time to time his words were mixed with some important information, so that the people who were listening were so anxious that they wanted to beat people, but they did not dare to really fight, for fear that he would not speak again after the beating, so he could only listen to him tell the story head-on.

Haitang wanted to sneer when he heard it: "Is he trying to deliberately whet people's appetite?" Or do you plan to take the opportunity to put forward conditions and let the Zhou family let him go? persuaded him so much, didn't he listen? It was in vain that we persuaded him for half a day's hard work! I said earlier that if he uses his own ideas to speculate about people like Marshal Zhou, the old marshal of Zhenguo, sooner or later, he will pit himself to death! I'm afraid that he hasn't seen a few really powerful shrewd people in his life, just if everyone is as easy to fool as Zhou Shuyi and his wife! ”

Haijiao smiled: "He may have a little bit of an appetite for the Zhou family, but he doesn't necessarily want to fool people." I think he might be trying to sell badly! ”

"Selling badly?" Begonia blinked, "Did he say that his life experience was miserable?" ”

Haijiao nodded: "If what he said is true, his life experience is indeed a bit miserable, but in the word 'miserable', a small half of it is his own sin, but more than half of it is caused by Zhou Shuyi." Horizontal and vertical have nothing to do with the Zhou family. It is likely that he wanted to make a fuss about the Zhou family's daughter and begged the Zhou family to treat him lightly. ”

Zhang Pinggui's background is a bit complicated.

His father was originally a Jianghu man, and he was a well-known snitch when he was young, but he accidentally stole something that should not be stolen, and he was chased and killed by the enemy, and he almost fell into a desperate situation. In order to survive, his father changed his face, hid his identity, and sold himself into the Yingchuan Marquis Mansion, originally just to be a rough servant, for the newly married Zeng Er and his wife, but Zeng Second Wife Zhou Shuyi married among the people, there were well-informed veterans, and soon found out his roots.

The veteran was born as a pro-soldier next to the old lady of the Zhou family, and he married all the way into Beijing to protect Zhou Shuyi. He was worried that Zhang's father would bring trouble to Zhou Shuyi, so he persuaded her to get rid of this person. After Zhou Shuyi asked Zhang's father about his ability, she claimed that she couldn't bear to see people living on the streets, so she sent them to the dowry Zhuangzi she had purchased in the suburbs of Beijing and asked him to be an ordinary Zhuangding.

The veteran was sent back to Chang'an by Zhou Shuyi in the name of glory within two years, so he didn't know the follow-up. Although Zhang's father went to Zhou Shuyi's wedding Zhuangzi, he actually never farmed at all. He just took the name of Zhuang Ding, but secretly he was ordered by Zhou Shuyi to do some shady tasks in exchange for a rich reward.

Because Zhang's father used to be a snitch, he was good at climbing over the wall to enter the house to steal property, Zhou Shuyi gave full play to his strengths and sent him back to the Yingchuan Marquis Mansion to do something that absolutely no one should know - drugging the Yingchuan Marquis.

At that time, the Yingchuan Hou brothers were newly married, and Zhou Shuyi soon had a happy letter, but Mrs. Yingchuan Hou had not moved. Mrs. Yingchuan Houfu was a little anxious, but she didn't dare to urge more. It is rumored that the Marquis of Yingchuan had a serious illness when he was a teenager and damaged his vitality, perhaps because the doctor at that time said something, and there are rumors within the Hou Mansion that he may not be too smooth in terms of heirs. Zhou Shuyi probably heard about these rumors, so she had a bad heart and asked Zhang's father to sneak into the house of the Marquis of Yingchuan and drug him in his tea, so as to completely cut off the possibility of him giving birth to an heir to inherit the title.

When Haijiao said this, he explained to his sister: "According to Zhang Pinggui, Zhou Shuyi almost got married to the Marquis of Yingchuan, so in order to avoid suspicion, the Marquis of Yingchuan never spent time alone with this brother and daughter-in-law, did not touch the things she sent, and even avoided the maid and grandmother beside Zhou Shuyi as much as possible. Zhou Shuyi wanted to take the medicine herself, but she couldn't do it, and she didn't dare to buy the servants of the Hou Mansion, so she could only let Zhang Pinggui's father sneak into the mansion to do it. ”

Haitang frowned when she heard this: "What kind of medicine did she give to Yingchuan Hou?" If it really has the effect of cutting off people's heirs, why did Yingchuan Hou give birth to more than one child later? ”

Haijiao said: "According to Zhang Pinggui, what kind of secret medicine is that medicine, and it can't be found outside." His father knew that the Zhou family had a queen mother, so he suspected that Zhou Shuyi had a secret recipe from the queen mother. ”

Begonia's eyes widened: "How is it possible?!" "She had been in the Great Chu Palace for decades in her previous life, but she had never heard of such a secret medicine in the palace. There is only the emperor in the palace, a real man, and the people in the palace will only worry that the emperor will not have enough heirs, who dares to cut off the emperor's incense? Even if this medicine really exists, it will not fall into the hands of the Queen Mother, who is not related to the emperor by blood.

Haijiao smiled: "Zhen Guogong and the rest of the Zhou family said that they had never heard of this secret medicine. The old military advisor also said that if there was really such a medicine, why didn't it be used in the palace on the prince of the Hu people who entered Beijing as a hostage? If the old Khan king of the Hu people can't give birth to a child, he will have to worry about the inheritance of the throne just for the sake of succession, where will he have the leisure to expand his territory? No matter how much land is laid, to whom can it be passed on? ”

Haitang was stunned when she heard this, and couldn't help but secretly scold Mrs. Ma again.

It is impossible for Zhou Shuyi to get any harmful secret medicine from Empress Dowager Zhou, but it is possible that she got this kind of thing from her mother, Mrs. Ma.

Mrs. Ma was once the daughter of the clan government, and her mother was originally from a big family, and the family had two queens and a concubine in the previous dynasty. Among them, the reputation of the last concubine is not very good, and there have always been rumors that she is good at using poison and poisoning the last prince with her own hands, resulting in the extinction of the last emperor. Therefore, the girl of the Duke's wife's maiden family was never elected to the palace as a concubine in this dynasty. If the princess's wife really inherited a secret medicine that can cut off people's heirs from her ancestors and taught her daughter, then it would not be surprising that Zhou Shuyi could take out this kind of thing to harm people.

It's just that if Mrs. Ma really mastered the formula of this secret medicine, why didn't she use it when she wanted to take revenge on the scumbag Prince Huren? Where is her revenge ruthless?! In addition to hurting innocents and affecting her family, has she done anything else in her life?!
