Chapter 902 Cousin Xiangbobo escapes control (28)

Liu's hysteria did not allow her to meet Du Shichu, but Du Shichu sent guards to send her to Jingzhao Mansion because of her forced entry into the princess mansion.

When Mrs. Liu heard this order from the servant with the words, she was so frightened that cold sweat broke out all of a sudden, and her heart almost jumped out of her chest. Go to Jingzhao Mansion?How can this work?She has a guilty conscience, how dare she go there? !

"I'm not going to Jingzhao Mansion! I don't see the Princess, please don't send me to Jingzhao Mansion..." Liu's typical guilty conscience, because she was afraid of being sent to Jingzhao Mansion, her sanity suddenly disappeared, and she refused to die. to see the officer.

The person who sent the message was baffled and said: "Mrs. Zhou, didn't you say that you knew about the robbers and wanted to tell our princess? You went to Jingzhao Mansion and told the judge that it was the same. Why did you So resist?"

When Liu Shi heard his question, she choked up, could she say that she had a guilty conscience?
So having nothing to say, she was taken away mercilessly by the guards, including several of her servants.

As for how the Liu family would lie to herself after being sent to Jingzhao Mansion, Du Shichu didn't know.

This matter is actually very simple, the plan of Zhou Yizhu and Liu's mother and son is too rough and simple, as soon as the people of Jingzhao Mansion interrogated those "robbers", the "robbers" sold Zhou Yizhu in a hurry, If Zhou Yizhu had been more cautious before, instead of going out to invite these fake robbers to act, but letting other people do it, then this case might still take a lot of work, but Zhou Yizhu thought he was smart and met those fake robbers directly On the other hand, I didn't even think about concealing my identity, so wouldn't it be easy to ask people?

He probably thought that after he succeeded in "hero saving the beauty", no one would care about the whereabouts of the "robber", so he didn't bother thinking about the aftermath at all.

So Zhou Yizhu, who was still recuperating in the Huguo Temple, was escorted back to Beijing for trial that day.

Originally, he wanted to grit his teeth and refuse to admit it, maybe he could deny it, but the adults adjudicating the case would not be polite to him, so after only three blows with the board, he confessed very spinelessly. There was no way, he He was injured himself, and he was not a person who can bear hardships. After being beaten a few times, the wound burst open, and his back was still in severe pain. He immediately admitted in tears that the so-called robbery incident was actually written and directed by himself. .

When the truth of this case was presented to the emperor by the Jingzhao Mansion, the emperor almost died of anger. He cursed several times, "There is no such reason", "There is no such reason", and then severely punished Zhou Yizhu who dared to plot against Du Shichu. Of course, this also had the meaning of killing chickens and monkeys. It was a warning to some people that Du Shichu would have to pay a price for scheming.

In the end, Zhou Yizhu was deprived of his fame, banned from the imperial examination for life, and sentenced to five years in prison. After he came out, he was basically a useless person.

As an accomplice, Mrs. Liu was also forced to deprive her of her imperial order and was sentenced to two years in prison.

As for Zhou Zhen, although he didn't know what his wife and children were doing, as a family member, he was not strict with his family and couldn't teach his children well.So he demoted his official position three levels in a row, and demoted him to a remote and impoverished area as a county magistrate.

However, this result is not very good for Zhou Zhen, who has been obsessed with climbing all his life. After all, he is already in his 40s. His son was not outstanding either. It can be said that the entire Zhou family went back to the time when he was not yet a Jinshi in the imperial examination more than 20 years ago. The Zhou family couldn't gain a foothold in the capital, let alone develop.

No matter how resentful, annoyed, and regretful the Zhou family was, the matter was a foregone conclusion. Du Shichu finally got rid of the Zhou family who had been staring at her and wanted to step on her to climb up, and he was very happy.

As Du Shichu's other cousin, Liu Weian broke out in a cold sweat when he knew what happened to the Zhou family. If he hadn't given up before and thought about how to gradually get closer to Du Shichu, then he is now I have no idea at all, I just want to maintain a polite and distant relationship with Du Shichu.

In fact, in the past two years, Liu Wei'an has also passed the Jinshi examination with his own efforts, but his ranking is very low, so even if he is awarded an official, he is only a very humble official. Although the Liu family has some reputation among literati, the Liu family is free His hometown in the city was well managed, and no one was an official in the court, so Liu Weian was alone in the capital, and there was no support for his official career. He only wanted to climb up to Du Shichu before, but he didn't dare after this time.

It's not that the Liu family didn't write to Du Shichu, wanting her to help Liu Weian, but relationships need to be maintained. In the past ten years, the Liu family had never contacted Du Shichu, and when they wanted to use her, He just wrote to her, how could Du Shichu pay attention to them?So even if the Liu family became angry later and sent a letter reprimanding her as an elder, Du Shichu turned a blind eye to them all, and later even ignored their letter.

"Zhou Zhen removed Zhou Yizhu from the family, he didn't recognize his son, and the Liu family, he directly gave the Liu family a letter of divorce, and then left the capital with the remaining children and concubines. "Wu Xiaoran came to the princess mansion to talk to Du Shichu about the follow-up situation of the Zhou family.

Du Shichu nodded indifferently after listening. What happened to the Zhou family has nothing to do with her.

"Sister, you won't feel sad because of them?" Wu Xiaoran carefully observed Du Shichu's expression for a while, and asked hesitantly.

After Du Shichu heard his words, her eyes widened in surprise. She asked Wu Xiaoran in bewilderment, "Brother, why do you think that I would feel sorry for the Zhou family? I have nothing to do with them at all, but they always You just want to have a relationship with me, how could I feel sad for someone who has nothing to do with you? You really think too much. "

"...After all, they are also considered to be related to your mother and concubine?" Wu Xiaoran said.

"I don't care about the Liu family anymore, and I still care about a distant relative who doesn't know how many generations have passed?" Du Shichu sneered.

"By the way, you don't think I'm cold and ruthless. I don't recognize my relatives, which violates filial piety, right?" Du Shichu suddenly remembered that today's society is not as indifferent as later generations. In this era, relatives are still valued. She is so Being deviant and rebellious, will my younger brother have any objections to her?

Wu Xiaoran looked at her with his dark phoenix eyes: "Are you asking me this question?"
