In order to find a way out for himself, Li Langzhong has been working hard to gnaw books when his brothers and others were fighting cocks and comparing themselves to wealth.

Although the Hou Mansion did not expect their children and grandchildren to enter the imperial examination, they still attached great importance to the education of the next generation.

Several Xixi in the mansion are all well-educated people, in addition to teaching the children and grandchildren of the current Marquis of Anqing, they also teach those side branches who have long been divided into mansions, as well as the children of the relatives of the masters of the Hou Mansion.

Li Langzhong was mixed with his brothers, cousins, and cousins, and studied diligently for seventeen or eighteen years, and also hid for seventeen or eighteen years.

It wasn't until he took the exam and took the exam all the way from the white body to the jinshi as fast as possible that the people of the Hou Mansion looked at him differently.

The attitude of his cousins and subordinates in the mansion changed from contemptuous and ridiculed to polite and polite, and his mother-in-law and his brothers, who were originally higher in the mansion than him, changed their attitude towards him from often ignoring him and occasionally bullying him to monitoring and suppressing him.

His mother-in-law married him the daughter of a petty official who did not help him in his career and had a very soft personality, and said that his father would divide all the concubines who were married, including him.

Of course, when it comes to dividing it, it is just to make the face of the Hou Mansion look better, in fact, these concubines who were swept out of the house only got a small village and a small mansion each.

As an unfavored little transparent concubine, Li Langzhong got the worst Zhuangzi and house among all the brothers.

However, compared to his unsuccessful but favored brothers, his father and grandmother demanded much more from him.

After more than ten years in the office, he himself can't remember how many things he has done for the Hou Mansion and his brother-in-law, and how many messes he has cleaned up for other concubine brothers, and how many black pots he has carried.

But even so, his father and mother-in-law still refused to let him and his little family go, and he and his wife and children were about to be called over by the Hou Mansion at every now and then, humiliated and beaten in the name of admonition.

In order to add to the blockage of their small family, his mother-in-law has done more than once stuffed him with a concubine and a maid and a maid next to his wife.

Their home is like a leaky sieve, not to mention hiding any privacy, even if there is something suddenly more in the house one day, they will not be able to find out in the first place.

Li Langzhong was powerless to change the status quo, so he could only deceive himself and comfort himself that it would be good to survive until his father and mother passed away, and their family would be able to breathe a sigh of relief.

However, it is a pity that his patience and endurance are not exchanged for the fact that one day he will be able to see the moon and see the moon, but that his second brother and his current official will join forces to plant the blame.

His second brother relied on the family shadow and became a langzhong in the Ministry of Industry.

However, although the two of them are both Langzhong, the Langzhong of the household department and the Langzhong of the Ministry of Industry have slightly different weights in the court.

Li Langzhong's second brother looked at him very unpleasantly because of this, and under the matchmaking of Li Langzhong's mother's nephew, Li Langzhong's second brother hooked up with Li Langzhong's current Shangguan.

It happened that Li Langzhong's current Shangguan Han Shilang needed an unlucky ghost who took the blame for the disappearance of disaster relief food, so Li Langzhong was honorably selected in a hit between the two.

His immediate boss, Han Shilang, was responsible for providing strong evidence such as account books, letters, gold and silver, and his second brother was responsible for smuggling things into Li Langzhong's mansion at the right time through those subordinates who were placed in Li Langzhong's mansion by Madame Hou, so that the people who came to search could come and seize the stolen goods.

When Yu Zizhen received the task, Li Langzhong had just been selected by Han Shilang as the substitute ghost for the disappearance of disaster relief grain, and strong evidence such as account books, letters, gold and silver had not yet surfaced at that time.

Yu Zizhen didn't want to startle the snake, so he didn't have an open contact with Li Langzhong, who was surrounded by sieve eyes.

It was not until the key evidence of the disappearance of the disaster relief grain case was taken out by Han Shilang and a part of it was given to Li Langzhong's second brother for framing and framing, that Yu Zizhen became enthusiastic about this last short-term task.

In the plot of the original book, Li Langzhong didn't know anything about being framed by others, until his family "had an uneasy conscience and mustered up the courage to denounce the main family", and Li Langzhong's family was imprisoned, and he was still confused and couldn't come back.

The people who planted the false accusations were well prepared, and the officials in charge of trying the case, among them, also benefited from the disappearance of disaster relief grain, so naturally it was indispensable to shield the accomplices, so Li Langzhong was soon convicted because of "ironclad evidence".

After his conviction, he had his family property confiscated and awaited beheading with his eldest son, who was now an adult, his wife and daughter were confiscated as official prostitutes, and his second and youngest sons, who were still minors, were sentenced to exile.

On the contrary, those concubines and subordinates who were placed by Mrs. Hou were quietly bought back by Mrs. Hou when they were sold by the government.

Of course, Mrs. Hou didn't buy them to save them, she just didn't want these people who knew a little bit of the inside story to go outside and talk nonsense.

After Li Langzhong and his eldest son were beheaded, his wife and daughter committed suicide in prison, and his second and youngest sons died in exile, those who had denounced the lord's family because of their "uneasy conscience", as well as those women who had been Li Langzhong's concubines, all died quietly and in various tricks in Madame Hou's dowry Zhuangzi.

Their family was almost dead from master to servant, but the rest of the Hou Mansion was hardly affected by the disappearance of the disaster relief grain.

According to the system, the court of Daqi is now declining, showing a trend of comprehensive decay, the darkness of officialdom is far beyond ordinary people's imagination, and corrupt officials live better and longer than virtuous officials.

In other words, there are really not a few people like Li Langzhong who suddenly fell into a black pot from the sky, thus ending their future and even the lives of their families.

Of course, this is not a good thing for the survival of the Great Qi Imperial Court, but for Yu Zizhen, who has to rely on points to exchange for all kinds of good things, the more cannon fodder, the more points she can get, so she wishes that the system could release her a few more cannon fodder rescue tasks.

"Those who have been brought back by Li Langzhong's second brother, he will have to be transferred to Li Langzhong's mansion sooner or later, and I will go to steal the beams and change the pillars at that time."

Compared with his second brother's house, Li Langzhong's garrison is more lax, and it will obviously be easier for Yu Zizhen to do tricks.

"As for the share that Han Shilang kept for himself, when I rest next time, I will find a way to sneak into his mansion and smuggle things out."

Anyway, she has the "disguise" skill that can greatly transform into a living person, and it is still very convenient to steal something.
