Four hundred chapters and one calamity
Half an hour later, Ma took a pair of grandchildren out of the house, got into the carriage driven by Uncle Ma and his wife, and drove towards the third room of the Zhou family.
Haixiya left Chang'an yesterday and went on a business trip. After Ma heard the news that his grandson brought home from Haijiao, he had no way to discuss with her husband, so she had to ask her eldest sister about the situation before making a decision.
When necessary, she can also ask her brother-in-law Xie Wenzai for help......
Recently, there have been a series of busy things, and Ma has not visited her eldest sister Zhou Ma for a long time, so when she walked into the door of the third room of the Zhou family, she was startled by the depressed scene in front of her.
Compared with the last time she came, the third room of the Zhou family is now much more deserted, except for the people in the concierge room, there is no change, whether it is the front yard or the inner house, the number of people walking back and forth has greatly decreased. The main hall in the front yard was a mess, as if someone had searched it, and furniture was lying on the ground.
This seems to be a reflection of Tang Meng's words, something really happened to the third room of the Zhou family!
Ma Shi hurriedly asked the servant woman who led the way: "What the hell is going on?" Even the main hall is messed up like this? What about your lords? Where's the wife?! ”
The servant woman smiled bitterly, and couldn't say why, so she could only answer: "Mrs. originally wanted someone to clean up the front hall, but the master said that there was no need, anyway, the officers and soldiers would come again sooner or later, so let it go, so as to save others from thinking that he had done anything ......"
The hidden meaning of these words is even more terrifying.
Ma pursed his lips tightly and strode in the direction of the main courtyard, without asking the servant woman any more. She knew that if the third room of the Zhou family really encountered a major event that would be raided by officers and soldiers, it would be impossible for a newly selected servant woman to know the details......
As he walked, he turned his head and looked at the direction of the front hall a few more times, and he had some bad premonitions in his heart.
The three ancestors and grandchildren finally came to the main courtyard where Zhou Ma lived. Cai Juan and Cai Luo greeted the door, and said to Ma Shi with red eyes: "Auntie, you can come!" My wife really didn't know who to talk to, so she had to do it in a hurry. ”
Ma couldn't help but say angrily: "Something happened to the eldest sister's family, why don't you send a letter?!" If I hadn't heard from others, I wouldn't have known that my eldest brother-in-law had encountered difficulties! What does the eldest sister say to the extra? Don't you treat your forehead as your own family?! ”
Zhou Ma is now lying on the kang, with a wide forehead tied to his forehead, his face is yellow, and he has not wiped any fat powder, and even his hair is simply pulled up, and two silver hairpins are inserted at random. She looked haggard, and when she listened to her sister's words, tears immediately fell: "Yumei! It's not that the eldest sister wants to talk to you, but the eldest sister doesn't know what to do! If your family really has no way to live this time, then it's better not to bother you. ”
Ma Shi angrily sat down on her side of the kang: "What the hell is going on?!" What's going on with your family? Isn't the old woman in the West Courtyard under house arrest? Why can there be another moth? You and your brother-in-law don't take a good look at people?! It's not like to say, eldest sister, you and your brother-in-law are too kind! That kind of vicious woman, just in the name of a stepmother, has actually done a lot of bad things for decades! If you don't anger her children, you are kind enough, why do you have to provide her with good food and drink, but it seems that she is still some kind of noble and decent old lady! ”
Zhou Mashi cried weakly: "Don't say it, the more you say it, the more you regret it!" I knew that today, I called her sick and died a few years ago, but she was still clean! Just because she is still alive, if he wants to get rid of the crime, he can't! As he spoke, he began to cry more and more.
"What are you talking about?" Ma couldn't help but repeat it, and Haitang hurriedly interrupted her: "Grandma, don't be busy scolding your aunt and grandmother now, let's figure out what happened first, right?" How did the third room of the Zhou family get into trouble? Why is there no way to live? No matter what bad things Mrs. Ma has done, her aunt and grandfather don't know about it! They have also been being calculated by Mrs. Ma all these years! ”
Ma was reminded by her words: "Yes! I almost called the eldest sister, you brought the ditch. Don't just patronize and cry, hurry up and make it clear to you, what the hell is going on, right?! ”
Zhou Ma opened his mouth, didn't say a word, and cried loudly again, which made Ma's heart anxious: "Sister, don't patronize and cry!" ”
Or did Haijiao find out a little bit from Caijuan and Cailuo's mouths: "Old Madam Ma fornicated with foreign enemies?" This is the Tu commander from the capital who found out with the same knowledge? Did he come to the door to threaten his aunt and grandfather? ”
Ma Shi was taken aback: "What? How is this possible?! ”
No matter how vicious Mrs. Ma is, she is also the widow of the old lady in the third room of the Zhou family. The old lady of the Zhou family was a general on the battlefield in the past, and even if he retreated to the rear, he was always in charge of the logistics of the Northwest Frontier Army and was a powerful figure in the border army. How could his wife have fornicated with a foreign enemy? Does this foreign enemy refer to the Hu people? If Mrs. Ma really colluded with the Hu people, the old lady of the Zhou family's third room would be in trouble!
Only then did Haitang understand why Zhou Ma and his wife thought that they had no way to live. If Mrs. Ma really committed the crime of fornicating with foreign enemies, not to mention the name of the old lady of the Zhou family's third room, the entire Zhou family's third room may be killed! This is a great sin that will implicate the whole family!
Ma Shi hurriedly asked Zhou Ma: "This is impossible!" Your old lady hasn't been on the battlefield for decades! He is only in charge of the grain and grass. His wife fornicated with foreign enemies? What can you do to help the Hu people? It's more than 2,000 miles away from the frontier battlefield! His wife has never been to the front line, how can she collaborate with the enemy?! ”
Zhou Ma choked up and said, "The Hu people sent spies into Dachu...... That General Tu said that the A family helped the spy enter the Central Plains and went to the capital......"
Ma gasped. The charge seems even more terrifying. If Mrs. Ma only betrayed the intelligence on the frontier front, then it was only the soldiers of the Northwest Frontier Army who suffered, and the imperial court might not care. But if Mrs. Ma helped the Hu people enter the hinterland of the capital and threatened the safety of those dignitaries in the court, even if it was only inadvertently used, in the eyes of the people in the court, it would be an unforgivable crime!
Once this kind of thing spreads, not to mention whether the Zhou family's three rooms can survive, I'm afraid that even the Zhou family will be implicated!
Ma Shi was also numb suddenly. She'd never encountered anything like this before, so what could she do......
Haitang was also shocked when she heard it, and hurriedly asked the key point: "When did this happen?" So how did General Tu know? Could it be that the capital caught the Hu people's spies? ”
Zhou Ma shook his head with tears and said, "General Tu said...... He is the one who tried Du Boqin, and he tried the ......"
"What? Du Boqin?! Ma Shi hurriedly said, "Isn't this person Sun Ge's accomplice?" How can his word be believed? Maybe it was the Sun family who instructed him to lie and deliberately frame the Zhou family! The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case, and she hurriedly said to Zhou Ma, "Eldest sister, have you mentioned this matter to your brother-in-law and Zhen Guogong?" If he knew that the Sun family had dug such a big pit for the entire Zhou family, Grandpa Guo would definitely not sit idly by! ”
Zhou Mashi said with tears in his eyes: "The master said, don't alarm the long house...... Just wait for the results of General Tu's investigation. Whether it is dead or alive, the Ah family is a person in the third room of the Emen, and what she commits is just a matter of being borne by her own family. If the long house is implicated, the He clan will be unlucky, and then the traitor will really succeed! ”
Ma got it. No wonder there was such a big thing in the third room of the Zhou family, but there were no rumors outside. If it weren't for the children of the Tang family who privately reminded the reef, the Hai family would still be in the dark!
It's just that the three rooms of the Zhou family are hiding from the Guogong Mansion in Changfang Town, which is not a smart approach.
This disaster may implicate the entire Zhou family at any time, and now continue to hide it from Zhen Guogong, what if the situation becomes worse in the future and Zhen Guogong has no time to deal with it?!
