Chapter 8: Gone
"Sister-in-law~~" Zhao Fujin said in embarrassment: "I naturally believe in the prince's brother's character." ”
was beaten to the gate by the Jin people, and only knew that the person who sent gold and silver to the woman did not have the courage to assassinate the official's family.
"It's just that the official family is angry at this time, and I go to intercede, I'm afraid it won't help."
"Emperor!" Zhu Lian took a few steps forward, grabbed Zhao Fujin's hands, and knelt down without warning: "Emperor Ji, save Your Highness!" He is reckless and straightforward, and he has always been unloved by the official family, this time, no matter who sees it, he will not think of having anything to do with His Royal Highness, but the official family~~~ This case has not been tried, and His Royal Highness has already been convicted......"
Zhu Lian cried sadly, Zhao Fujin didn't pull it up a few times, so he had to squat down, and persuaded him with good words: "Sister-in-law, you think about it too much, Xu is the official family asked the prince's brother to discuss the matter." ”
"My grandfather's family has been imprisoned, and the Zhu family is also surrounded by guards~~" Zhu Lian cried: "If it is really the uncle of the Cheng family, he should also be arrested and tried, and if he is convicted, our two families are joint crimes, and I also admit it, but this crime has not yet been decided, and the punishment has already been given!" ”
Zhu Lian got a letter from the little eunuch before entering the Ning and the palace, the Zhu family was surrounded, Lord Zhu was summoned into the palace, Cheng and Zhu Liuniang returned to the house, the door of the house was closed, and the situation inside was unknown.
Zhu Lian was angry and anxious, angry that Zhao Ji disregarded the relationship between father and son, and slapped the face of the prince like this; I hate that the uncle of the Cheng family is not seen at this critical moment, he is innocent, and he should prove his innocence, so he hides like this, isn't it harmful!
She knows very well that the prince will never do such a rebellious thing, but ~~ If her uncle is really related to the assassination of the official family, the prince will not be able to wash it even if he jumps into the Yellow River!
She could be calm before, but now she can't be calm no matter what: "Emperor Ji, please help Your Highness, if Your Highness can escape this catastrophe, I will repay the entire East Palace!" ”
The entire East Palace?
It is estimated that whether this matter has anything to do with Zhao Huan, it is impossible for him to live in the East Palace again.
"In this case, I guess I won't be able to help my sister-in-law!" Zhao Fujin let out a long sigh and looked at Zhu Lian sincerely: "The eldest sister-in-law came to beg me, it is better to ask for a few ministers in the court, the prince's brother occupies the eldest son, if the official family wants to deal with it, they have to be a little scrupulous." ”
How many people do you ask?
Zhu Lian was stunned for a moment, and said a little dazedly: "Your Highness is afraid of being tabooed by the official family, and has never befriended your ministers......
"If the prince's brother doesn't make friends with the princes, it doesn't mean that there is no friendship." Zhao Fujin pointed out: "The prince is benevolent, and he has long been known for being frugal and diligent, but whoever is dedicated to the country's courtiers, who doesn't want to have this prince?" ”
Hearing this, Cai Yan lowered his head and smiled.
The official family is more luxurious than enjoyable, and there is such a thrifty prince as a comparison, and it does make some sense that he doesn't like it.
"But if Uncle Cheng accidentally fell into the villain's way." Zhu Lian hesitated: "My eldest uncle has been good at the trail for many years, and he is extremely profitable, if he is used......
Dizzy, what does this Zhu Lian's brain think!
Is this going to give her an explanation?
Zhao Fujin was speechless: "If this is the case, the eldest sister-in-law will have to kill her relatives in righteousness." If possible, it is better to find someone back. ”
Zhu Lian was silent, was helped up by Zhao Fujin, and sat down together on the collapse: "Sister-in-law, think about it seriously, is it possible that your Uncle Cheng is conspiring with others?" Why did he conspire with others?
You are the crown princess, as the princess's foreign family, he only needs to fight steadily, and the glory in the future will definitely be unlimited, what reason does he have to assassinate the official family? ”
That's right, Uncle Cheng is a heavy profit, and he has always attached great importance to love, how could he participate in the assassination of the official's family?
……
In a brothel in the southeast of Shengde Place, people come and go very lively.
On the first floor of the brothel, there is a messy utility room.
The turtle slave carefully opened the door and walked in, holding the tray, and there were scattered tattered objects in the room, and in the middle of it, there stood a shelf full of cobwebs.
The turtle slave held the tray, leaned his back against the shelf, and with the force of his feet, he squeezed the shelf a few centimeters away, exposing the hole under the shelf.
He turned and inspected his surroundings before cautiously lifting the tray above his head and stepping down the steps of the hole. After walking seven or eight steps, his feet were only a little flat, and it was dark in front of him, and there was the laughter of prostitutes and cheerful customers overhead, but he had already come to another courtyard.
With seven or eight steps upward, he pushed his head against the wooden plank above his head, and the whole person appeared in a luxurious and bright room.
The black whistle in the house was playing chess with Cheng Xing, and when he saw the turtle slave coming, he threw the chess pieces in his hand on the table with a "whoosh" sound: "Forget it, forget it, I won't play with you, it's really boring, you are still a member of the Central Plains, and you play chess so stinky!" ”
"It's Wu Ye's superb chess skills, and the villain is really not an opponent." Cheng Xing gathered the chaotic chess pieces together, slowly separated the black and white chess pieces, and threw them into different chess bowls.
"Two masters, this is dinner for the two of you, do you want to put it on now?" The turtle slave lowered his head and placed the tray on the table.
"Swing it! How's it going out there? Wu Sentry stood up and stretched, Cheng Xing hurriedly stepped forward, took off the wet handkerchief on the shelf, and handed it over, asking him to wipe his hands.
"Back to Wu Ye's words, the prince and Zhu Bocai have been summoned into the palace by Zhao Ji. The Zhu family was surrounded and was not allowed to enter or exit, and the guards in and out of the East Palace were staring at them, and the Cheng family~~" The turtle slave spoke, opened the cage on the tray, and served the food outside: "More than 20 people from the Cheng family were all arrested and imprisoned. ”
"How could you find the door so quickly!" Cheng Xing's face tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "Where is the courtyard of Shengde Fang?" ”
"Cheng Ye, rest assured, Mrs. Ru and the three little sons of Shengde Fang have followed the fifth master to the north, and they may have boarded the ship at this moment." The turtle slave set up the meal and saluted the black whistle: "Master Wu, what our prince means is that you can send someone to contact the prince." ”
"There's no hurry." The black whistle stretched his sleeves, sat down at the table, looked at the dishes in front of him, and showed a satisfied look: "Zhao Huan has not yet reached the time of desperation, at this time, it is estimated that there is still a little bit of spirit, and the probability of success is too low." ”
"Wu Ye~~" Cheng Xing hesitated for a moment, and persuaded him: "The prince is timid, and if he delays for too long, he will be pulled off the position of prince." ”
"That's not right, his position as the crown prince is gone, just enough to break the axe and sink the boat, for my use!" Wu Whistle glanced at Cheng Xing: "Don't worry, as long as Zhao Ji can't catch you, he won't be guilty." The people of the Cheng family are not much in prison. ”
Cheng Xing naturally knew that the people of the Cheng family would be fine in a short time.
But the family was arrested, and he really couldn't calm down.
And staying in this dark place, he was in a state of panic all the time: the prince took away his outer room and three sons, which made him extremely uneasy: "Emperor Mingde is just a little girl, but she has a little talent, what can you do, Wu Ye, you and the prince have gone to such great lengths for her, it's really not worth it." ”
He has been lurking in the Great Song Dynasty for Dajin for decades, and with the support of Dajin, he has become an imperial businessman, his sister-in-law married into the Zhu family, and his niece has become the housewife of the East Palace.
He was entertained with delicious food and drink, and after the fifth prince finished his travels, he just had the idea of returning to Dajin, but he heard a loud sound of the earth shaking the mountains.
This loud bang shattered his stable and happy days, and he never returned.
