I want to communicate with the other four surnames, how to contact the head of the family in the palace gate, and rescue the clansmen.

But Yu Linwei did not leave, but guarded the surroundings of Cui's mansion strictly, and before the case of private salt was closed, all the implicated mansions needed to be guarded.

Such a noisy scene naturally attracted the attention of other scholars.

In the Zheng Mansion, Xingyang, when the Lu family received the information from the big house, they thought that there was something wrong with their ears, and looked at the person in disbelief.

"The third lady is in an urgent situation, and I ask you to go to the main courtyard as soon as possible to discuss important matters. I heard that Cui Jiancheng, who is in charge of this matter, has enclosed the mansion of the Boling Cui clan and is about to come to our Xuanyang Fang. ”

She didn't expect that she wanted to put pressure on the other party before, but before she could make a move, the other party's knife came towards her neck.

Somewhat nervously, he poured a cup of herbal tea into his mouth and replied:

"You go back and tell the eldest lady, and say that this lady will come quickly."

After the Lu family relieved themselves, they immediately realized that the big things in their house were not good now, and the people in the big house and the second room had gone to the court today, so they couldn't tell where they were surrounded by Emperor Jianming at this time.

In terms of being able to preside over major events, it is her husband, Zheng Hua.

It's hateful that Zheng Hua wants to avoid as soon as there is trouble, and at this time people are still in Yuntai Temple, but now that the situation is urgent, she can't care about so many people, and immediately shouted outside the door:

"Someone! Quickly go to the stable to lead a fast horse, go to Yuntai Temple to pick up the third master back, and say that there is a disaster of extermination, let him return home quickly! ”

"Whoa!"

Hearing this, the subordinates also knew that this matter was closely related to their own fate, and they did not dare to slack off.

Called a good equestrian servant, led the horse from the stable, and went all the way to the gate of the market.

When pedestrians saw that it was a horse, they didn't care about the identity of the person who came, as long as they knew that they couldn't afford to provoke it, and scattered to both sides of the road.

The people sent out by the Zheng clan in Xingyang happened to miss Cui Zhiyun, who came in a hurry, Cui Zhiyun glanced in the direction of the horse's fast running, and continued to rush to the mansion of the Zheng family in Xingyang according to his own speed of action.

There is no need to be as anxious about the Xingyang Zheng family as the other five surnames, because they are the weakest among the five surnames, otherwise they would not send their own concubines to the palace.

said that it was a concubine, and it was no different from the concubine room when you said it carefully, which made the five surnames ashamed.

In addition, Zheng Fei and his younger brother who were involved were in front of the Xuanzheng Palace, and the people who stayed in the mansion were some little minions, so they didn't have to spend a lot of thought.

Just when Cui Zhiyun and the others passed through the gate of Xuanyangfang, the Lu family had already hurried to the main courtyard, and looking at the embarrassed Wang family and Xiao family on the seat, she hurriedly saluted and sat down.

Wang didn't care about any rules at this time, and said anxiously:

"I heard that the first person to come to the door of the Cui family this time is his own Boling Cui family, many people have been taken away by Yu Linwei, and they were smashed by the onlookers, and they went out of Kangpingfang one by one in embarrassment, so that the world can see it, it is simply an insult to our five surnames.

The head of the family and the second brother both went to the court, and there was no one to discuss in the family, what do you two think about this matter? ”

Hearing this, Xiao Shi couldn't help but roll his eyes at Lu Shi, who was sitting opposite him, and said in a weird manner:

"Speaking of which, yesterday the Cui family came to visit well, and I don't know what happened, but I didn't feel happy to come to us today, maybe it was something that happened yesterday that we don't know."

Listening to these point-in-the-other words, Lu Shi gathered anger in his heart, and said with a look of disgrief:

"Yesterday's incident, which room in the family doesn't know the situation, and I hope that the second sister-in-law won't always say something that divides people's hearts at this time. If you really want to say it, no one in our three rooms has entered the court as officials, so naturally it has nothing to do with the case of illegal salt. If the second sister-in-law thinks that our third room is an eyesore, we can leave directly. ”

As soon as these words came out, Wang and Xiao's faces changed suddenly, and they both understood that what Lu said made some sense.

But now everyone is a member of the Zheng family in Xingyang, everyone understands the truth that the rabbit is dead and the fox is sad, and the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and the Wang family also knows that since the Lu family is willing to come, it means that there is still room for turnaround.

immediately opened his mouth and said, "Speaking of clan affairs, why did the two of you suddenly start fighting again?" Or is it important to get down to business, third brother and sister, where can the third brother know now? At present, it seems that it is necessary to ask him to come back to preside over the affairs of the family. ”

It was rare for Lu Shi to see the picture of Wang's softness, and his heart suddenly smoothed down, and he said with a flat face:

"When I went out, I had already sent someone to drive the horse to Yuntai Temple, and it was estimated that it would not be long before the third master would come back. But now that the Cui family is about to come to the door, how should we deal with it? ”

The moment the words fell, the room returned to a dead silence.

None of the people present had the experience of dealing with such a big event, and thinking of Cui Zhiyun's posture of killing relatives with righteousness, I am afraid that their Xingyang Zheng family will not be able to escape.

But it is impossible to make them sit still.

Xiao Shi thought about it with his own head, came up with a bad idea, and looked at Lu Shi opposite with some embarrassment, not knowing how to speak.

With such a burning gaze, it was difficult for Lu Shi to ignore it.

As soon as she looked up, she saw Xiao's eyes staring at her, and said awkwardly:

"What is there to say, the second sister-in-law said directly, if it is really wonderful, what can you not say?"

"Speaking of which, please also ask your younger brothers and sisters to recall yesterday's scene, what does this Cui family elder think about your biological daughter? If the other party really has the heart, he will directly take the opportunity to marry his daughter out, get the Cui family's family, and blow the pillow wind, maybe we can take it lightly. ”

The current scene no longer allows any corrupt officials to be missed, but if you let go halfway, bring people back, and continue to use the reputation of the Zheng family in Xingyang, it is not impossible.

Although this sounds like underestimating Cui Zhiyun's temperament, the Zheng family in Xingyang already has a Zheng Guifei, what else can not be done for the sake of interests?

When the three of them discussed, they didn't think about the fact that Zheng Wan was unwilling to become a member of the Zheng clan in Xingyang, but instead thought about how to use the marriage between the two to seek benefits for their own family.

Even the Lu family felt that there was some truth in this, looking at the posture yesterday, Cui Zhiyun obviously protected his own daughter under his command, and he was moved.

If you can give full play to your ability in this incident, you can see who in the government dares to look down on yourself.

And Cui Zhiyun experienced this incident, she will definitely be promoted, and she will be trusted by the saint, and it will be beneficial for her to have such a son-in-law.

Here, the three people in the house are still thinking about Cui Zhiyun and Zheng Wan.

Cui Zhiyun has already taken Yu Linwei to the door of the Zheng Mansion in Xingyang, and it is still the same procedure as in front of the Cui Mansion just now, directly summoning all the people in the mansion to the door and waiting for the will of the saint.

When they heard that Xiao and the others in the second room were about to be arrested, Wang and Lu were suddenly shocked and couldn't believe the scene in front of them.

Xiao himself didn't expect it, and just as he wanted to resist, he heard Yu Linwei warn:

"Please also obey the will and be arrested safely, otherwise we coarse people will not pity the jade!"

The sound that suddenly exploded in his ears immediately frightened the female relatives in the second room to tremble, and suddenly did not dare to make any more unnecessary movements, and slowly walked outside with the other Zheng clansmen.

In the face of such a terrifying scene, the Wang family and the Lu family didn't care that they were still fighting each other before, and helped each other to get up from the ground.

Lu Shi looked at Cui Zhiyun, who only had his back left, remembered what the three of them had discussed before, suppressed the fear in his heart, and said:

"Huai Jin, do you remember what you said yesterday? My aunt was concerned yesterday, and she definitely didn't mean to threaten Wan Niang, after all, it was also the blood and bones on my aunt's body. If you really have the intention of marrying Wan Niang, please send Wan Niang back to ......"

Cui Zhiyun didn't seem to hear the words of the person behind him, and immediately followed the crowd after seeing that all the people involved in the illicit salt case were caught.

Only the helpless Lu family and the confused Wang family were left.

Now the Lu family is really remorseful, if she had known that the two were in this relationship, how could she use the reputation of her concubine to take back her biological daughter.

Her thoughts were completely for the sake of the reputation of the Shi clan, and Cui Zhiyun, as a member of the Boling Cui clan, should understand.

Today's scene of large-scale arrest in Luoyang City is not only the scared of the scholars who are trapped in it, but also the ordinary people.

In addition to the bold and lively, there are fewer people who even go to the street to do business, and they don't go out one by one, as if they have returned to the scene of Emperor Jianming's murder of the participants in the rebellion of the abolished prince more than ten years ago.

Latecomers can only hear the picture of the entire Luoyang City flowing with blood from the mouths of those who experienced it back then.

But I never thought that I would see it again today, and I still saw it in the body of the scholars.

After Cui Zhiyun and Su Xingzhang arrested all the people involved in the case, Emperor Jianming, in order to prevent the people from panicking, directly posted the relevant criminal evidence of this group of people on the city wall to ensure that everyone could see it.

When Cui Hao, who was almost grounded in front of the Xuanzheng Palace, returned home, he knew about it, and could only muttered to himself:

"It's too late, it's too late."

He knew very well that as long as the evidence of the crime was posted and seen by the people, even if they had thousands of ways to save their people in their minds, it would be in vain.

This is also Emperor Jianming's conspiracy, as long as they are confined in the imperial city, they will not be able to learn from the outside world.

Even if they wait for them to come out, they will face a case that can no longer be turned around.

At this time, Cui Hao couldn't help but think that from the moment Cui Zhiyun decided to take the imperial examination, did he already guess Emperor Jianming's thoughts?

He decided to use his talents to perpetuate the Bolingtri clan.

Thinking of this, he began to regret the idea that he had always blindly believed in the power of the five surnames, if he had listened to Huai Jin's words earlier and retreated bravely, what kind of scene would their Boling Cui clan be today.

Before he could continue to think about it, the voice of a subordinate was already heard outside the door.

"Tell Ah Lang, all the clan administrators have arrived at the ancestral hall, waiting for you to discuss the major affairs of the clan."

Chapter 100: Chopping the Pepper Fish Head

Hearing this, Cui Hao's face was full of loneliness, and he forced himself to show a trace of firmness, as the person in charge of the clan, he must not show cowardice in this matter.

After this day, the development of things was similar to what Emperor Jianming expected, almost all the families chose to abandon the pawn to protect the car, and the people who participated in this matter on the surface were executed, and the power of the five surnames was greatly weakened.

In addition to the weakening of the power of the five surnames in the court, it is also reflected in the number of clansmen living in Luoyang City.

Maybe it was Emperor Jianming who was ruthless this time, as long as he participated in it, the whole family was basically killed together.

This incident brought deep fear to the five surnames, and made everyone understand that Emperor Jianming's butcher's knife could not only cut at and compete for the throne, but also prevent him from creating a prosperous era and controlling the imperial power.

Among them, the most obvious thing that hinders him is the five surnames.

For this reason, after the investigation of the smuggling salt case was over, many clansmen planned to leave Luoyang City and stay away from the center of the storm.

In the eyes of everyone, nothing is more important than one's own life compared to a position of power.

Maybe I can return to my hometown, but I can continue to continue the family's bloodline.

But not everyone thinks so, and Xingyang Zheng, who is immediately accustomed to using women's skirts to seek benefits, obviously already has his own "good idea." ”

All in all, in this purge, the only winner was Emperor Jianming.

Although he also lost a child who had admired him since he was a child, he laid a good foundation for the future prosperity of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In this regard, Emperor Jianming is still very satisfied, and it may be a good thing to set up someone else for the crown prince's position.

When it came time to reward meritorious deeds, Su Xingzhang was still in charge of Dali Temple, and Cui Zhiyun was promoted to the squire of the Criminal Department.

In this private salt case, Emperor Jianming was very satisfied with Cui Zhiyun's performance, and also discovered Cui Zhiyun's special talent, he believed that in the Criminal Department, Cui Zhiyun's ability could be brought into play.

jumped three grades at once, Cui Zhiyun also understood that this was his own opportunity, even if he was still reluctant to give up on the capital water supervisor.

"Thank you, Lord Ron!"

After thanking the Holy Grace, Cui Zhiyun returned to the capital water prison with mixed feelings and continued to deal with the official duties accumulated before.

The back kitchen on the other side was in a noisy joy, and everyone was full of expectations for Zheng Wan's dishes today.

The main reason is that before hesitating, Zheng Wan used the dried peppers he bought from the grocery store to make the spicy red crayfish that is still hotly sought after throughout Luoyang.

As a result, the price of peppers in Luoyang City continued to rise, and the merchants of the Western Regions soon discovered this good deal and deliberately drove back to the Western Regions to transfer more peppers to Luoyang for trading.
