I'm a detective for Dongchang

Feng Guozheng had a solemn expression on his face, and he came out to respond: "Your Majesty, the two incidents of prime minister dereliction of duty mentioned by Zhou Yangsong can actually be summarized into one incident, which is a matter of purchasing grain. I think that Da Jin's removal of gold, It has only been a few decades since the unification of the empire, and it is not ruled out that the remnants of the Jin Kingdom are still lingering. They are extremely cunning and meticulous in their actions. Extremely worried Lord Hou? I think that this matter has nothing to do with Lord Hou. Now it is a big deal to track down the remnants of the Jin Kingdom and the war at the southern border border, but it is a minor matter to hold Lord Hou accountable. Half a year, just as punishment."

When Feng Guozheng spoke, his words were extremely cautious, and his words did not mean to excuse Xuan Pinghou.

Qi Tianyin smiled coldly.After thinking for a while, he said: "Doctor Feng is right, apprehending the remnants of the Jin Kingdom is really the top priority."

The emperor went on to say: "In this case, Marquis Xuan Ping will reflect on himself at home, and the five counties under his jurisdiction will be temporarily taken over by Yuan Renjie, Marquis of Zhenyuan."

No one dares to disagree...

It's night, Xuanpinghou Mansion.

Inside the Fushou residence, the whole family of women sat at the banquet talking and joking around the old matriarch, at least on the surface, the Xuanpinghou mansion was peaceful as usual.

But it is not difficult to see that, except for the old lady, everyone's smiles are somewhat far-fetched, and where the old lady can't see, they are frowning.

Zhu's and Wang's two granddaughter-in-laws were busy running around, unable to rest for a moment, just to avoid embarrassment and uneasiness.The two wives were sitting on the first seat with the old lady, surrounded by some decent elderly mothers. The old lady put down her silver chopsticks and asked with a smile: "Are you free to come to this yard these two days? I feel like I’m getting fat, why hasn’t Yu’er come back yet?”

Zhu Qiao, who was carrying the dishes into the room, paused for a moment, with an unnatural expression on her face. She glanced at her husband who was being pulled over to drink, and forced herself to smile, "I sent someone back in front of the head, saying that I was recruited by Mr. Chang." I'm going to have a drink with Master Shang Shu, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back tonight."

"Oh." The old lady said with a smile: "Hehe, we Yu'er are blessed. At the end of the year, you will add a great-grandson to me, and I will be satisfied with my old bones. Come, come, let's eat ours, Leave him alone."

The others all nodded with smiles, and praised Fan Ming's ability and so on. The old lady listened with a smile, and Mrs. Zhu hurried forward to refill the wine when she saw this.

However, before the three rounds of drinking, all the people who could not express their sufferings excused that it was too late and did not prevent the old man from resting, so they all got up and left together.

Mrs. Zhu planned to wait for the old lady to massage and wash her feet, and watched them leave one by one, then turned and went into the kitchen to fetch hot water.

Today is the third day since my husband was taken away, and if they can't think of a way, they won't be able to hide it anymore.Since the old lady suffered a stroke last year, her health has been deteriorating. If she knew that her most beloved grandson had committed a serious crime, she might not be able to breathe...

If the old matriarch is gone, Lord Hou will not be seen by the emperor even more. How should the Fan family deal with themselves.

Sighing, Mrs. Zhu ordered the girl to carry the hot water into the house. She was halfway there when she heard intermittent crying.

Seeing Mrs. Hou crying pear blossoms with rain, kneeling in front of the old matriarch and crying loudly, while the second lady was pale and kept wiping her tears, and the second master was also standing aside, with his hands behind his back and his face grimacing.

The other girls and brothers were not there, so they should have gone to another house to take refuge temporarily.

what happened?Clearly agreed not to tell the old lady, mother is...

Zhu Qiao muttered to herself, and hurried forward, seeing the old lady pointing at herself, said in a low voice, "Qiaoer! Do you know what Yuer did? Tell me!"

Immediately, Zhu Qiao's throat became dry, and he said in a jerky voice, "I know."

"Then why didn't you say it?" The old lady was furious.

Zhu Qiao smiled bitterly and said: "Back to the old lady, you can't make any mistakes in your body, so... besides, your birthday is coming soon, if you make everyone lose their interest, wouldn't it be a crime? I thought there was some misunderstanding, but my husband didn't It may be released in a few days. So I thought it would not be too late to wait until the matter was over."

"You, you are so angry." The old matriarch looked excited, and pointed at the second son and the two wives with trembling fingers: "What did the old master say when he just left? Xuanpinghou's mansion is not easy to come by. He is of mediocre talent, but he still has a noble title, so the whole family can enjoy the glory. I hope that Yu'er can make achievements in his official career and carry forward the Marquis Mansion! After all, it is a blessing for him to be appreciated by Shangshu , how did you commit a murder all of a sudden! How dare you hide it from me!"

"Murder case! Will he be released in a few days??" The old matriarch threw down his crutch, and the rough wood broke in response. It can be seen that he was very angry.

Zhu Qiao's face was full of pain, she wiped the corners of her eyes with a sweat towel, and said in a low voice, "Qiaoer knows I was wrong."

"Huh!" The old matriarch sighed, then shook his head and said: "The family is unfortunate, the family is unfortunate! There is such a wicked thing, the heavens will kill my Fan family!"

Seeing this, Mrs. Hou cried: "Old Madam, you watched Yu'er grow up. Don't we know what kind of character he is? I...I don't believe that he would do such a bad thing. Do you want to see him?" Thinking, if what happens, it is His Highness the Crown Prince's confession, how dare he refuse to listen?"

"Shut up." The old lady stared at her fiercely with a red face.

He spoke harshly and shouted loudly: "Are you stunned or have you taken the wrong medicine? How dare you speak like that, what is the identity of His Highness the Crown Prince? Do you still think that our family's life is not long enough?"

"Didn't you hear what the second child said? Your precious son killed several young girls and even skinned them! How dare he frame such a serious matter? The evidence is solid! Even the emperor is furious!"

"Your Majesty didn't kill that vicious animal with a rod on the spot, it's enough to give the Hou family a bad face!"

Mrs. Hou was hesitant to speak at the moment, but seeing the angry look of the old lady, she didn't dare to continue to defend her son. In fact, she was also confused. How could his son save his life after committing such a serious crime?

Thanks to God bless it!
In order to ease the atmosphere, the second lady said: "Old Madam, please calm down. Although Yu'er was arrested and taken to the East Factory, Lord Hou also ordered one or two. Someone came back and said that Yu'er...except that she doesn't eat much, she sleeps in the same place. It's clean. Hou's mansion is in a difficult situation now, and Lord Hou is also anxious to get angry. He stayed in the barracks for a few days to find a way, and I hope the old lady will take care of her health."

The old matriarch patted the table: "No wonder she ran to me every day for a few days, because she wanted me to get rid of my old face and ask the empress dowager!"

When Mrs. Hou heard this, she seized the opportunity and cried again: "Old Ancestor, you don't want to see the Hou Mansion's family business destroyed for so many years. Besides, if Yu'er... is really wronged, you have to do it for me." Yuer is in charge!"

Although the old matriarch was very angry, she was someone who had experienced the storm. After a while, she said sadly: "You are all confused."

"The Holy Majesty hasn't executed him yet. Why? In my opinion, besides waiting for Yu'er to plead guilty, there is also... that there is a greater use for keeping Yu'er, and I don't need to explain this use. You all know it in your heart." ?”

Regardless of whether Yu'er pleaded guilty or not, the Marquis of Xuanping's mansion has already been included in the party faction of the prince and the Chang family.

The old matriarch smiled wryly: This day has finally come. When the old Hou Ye was dying, he said that he must not put the Hou Mansion in the face of the prince before the Holy Majesty retired.But after more than ten years, Qi Tianyin didn't do much. She thought that the crown prince would ascend the throne sooner or later, so she followed her son's idea and didn't interfere with her grandson's relationship with the prince.

The second lady had a disgusted expression on her face, and was also worried about her future prosperity, or the misery of being ransacked and wiped out, so she stood aside and complained: "Yu'er is a fool, An Ansheng is a son, continue to copy Lord, isn’t it good to shine on the lintel? How could you commit such a terrible thing.”

The old matriarch was very angry, and pointed at Madam Hou who was crying and lying on the ground: "Isn't it because of him, a mother who wants to save face? Otherwise, Yu'er will lose his mind and go crazy and run to curry favor with Chang Renxin?"

"Now you are talking about regrets. Ever since Yu'er clinged to the Chang family, it seems that you have been beautiful all day long? Now it's all right, even the Hou's mansion may be gone. From now on, you can only ask for blessings. "

Madam Hou's eyes were red, and she choked with sobs and said: "My daughter-in-law knows she was wrong. After this incident, she just wants to stay by her side in peace, and she doesn't ask for power and authority anymore."

"Okay, okay, stop crying, you're not dead yet!"

The old lady finally got impatient: "Get out!"

Everyone knew that it was the old lady who had issued an order to evict the guests, so they packed up their emotions and withdrew.

Xuanpinghou Mansion is doomed to sleepless nights.

And those who have not slept all night are not only the Xuanping Hou Mansion, but also the son of the Hou Mansion who is facing Lu Xizhi in the cell of Dongchang.
