Chapter 85 Concubine Hang’s Test
After Sun Jizong finished speaking, Sun Zhong also fell silent.

It's not that he hasn't considered this matter. If he doesn't take sides, or in other words, doesn't care at all whether Zhu Qizhen comes back, then Zhu Qiyu has no reason to deal with the Sun family, and he won't deal with the Sun family and cause trouble. dissatisfaction.

Sun Zhong was very clear about this, but his daughter was the Queen Mother Sun, whom Zhu Qizhen called his maternal grandfather.

If you don't care about the Queen Mother, then who cares about her?Who helps her?

It was all because of her that he could be granted the title of Huichang Bo. Now, if he helps her, everything may go back to the original point. It may even be better to go back to the original point.

The father and son had been silent for a while, and Sun Zhong said: "Just this time, if things cannot be done, forget it. We should be more honest, but we still need to make some preparations in advance!"

Sun Jizong also nodded after hearing this. It was impossible not to help.

"You take your youngest son and his son and find an excuse to declare them dead. If that doesn't work, find two scapegoats, and then arrange for them to hide in the south of the Yangtze River, taking the family's cash with them. From now on, the Sun family No matter what, it has nothing to do with either of them. They need to change their names!
Make sure that our family lineage cannot be cut off. When the matter is completely over, let them come back and let them take away a copy of the genealogy!Don’t tell anyone about this!Including your wife! "Sun Zhong explained to Sun Jizong.

After hearing this, Sun Jizong nodded with difficulty and said, "Okay!"

"As for this matter, do it quickly. You have to do it in two days. Take away all the cash at home. If the daughter-in-law disobeys or may leak the news, then kill her in advance. If we can endure it, we can arrange for her to get sick and die in a year or two. Of course, the premise is that our family can survive this hurdle. If not, if this person has any signs of leaking out, kill him immediately!" Sun Zhong sat there and said calmly.

Sun Jizong still nodded, knowing that this was the only way to leave blood in the family!

The next day, the modern crossbow parts customized by Lin Cunde were also delivered to his house. After Lin Cunde assembled them, he found ten of the guards and asked them to train in the use of modern crossbows in his training room. .

These guards were all from the military, and as soon as the modern crossbow came into their hands, they knew how powerful it was.

Lin Cunde also told them not to leak it out. They must keep a close eye on these crossbows. There are special numbers engraved on the crossbows. If they were lost, he would be in trouble with them.

Those guards naturally knew about it.

Lin Cunde's actions also made Qiu Shuang guess a little.

Qiu Shuang saw Lin Cunde sitting at the tea table drinking tea, as if thinking about something. Lin Cunde hadn't read much in the past two days.

Qiu Shuang hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, something is going to happen in the house?"

"Huh?" After hearing this, Lin Cunde looked up at Qiu Shuang, then shook his head and said, "No, why do you ask?"

"The young master takes that thing with him to the bedroom every day, and also carries it to the study when he comes to the study. This thing doesn't look like a good thing to me, it looks like a weapon!" Qiu Shuang turned around and pointed at Lin Cunde's crossbow hidden at the foot of the desk and asked. .

Standing here, Qiu Shuang couldn't see the foot of the book desk. There were carved wooden boards blocking the foot of the book desk. But Qiu Shuang would polish ink for Lin Cunde and go around behind the book desk, so he could naturally see the crossbow.

"Ha!" Lin Cunde smiled and said, "Be prepared!"

"But is it related to that letter?" Qiu Shuang asked again.

"Don't ask so many questions!" Lin Cunde didn't want Qiu Shuang to know too much.

"Oh!" Qiu Shuang could only say oh and sit down.

On Wang Ying's side, Wang Ying has sent people to keep an eye on the Sun family's mansion, including several sons of the Sun family, all under Wang Ying's surveillance. This morning, Sun Zhong went to visit other noble houses.

After Wang Ying received the news from Wang Meilin yesterday, she became more vigilant. Sun Zhong went to see the Queen Mother Sun. Who knows what news the Queen Mother Sun passed?
Wang Ying didn't want anything to happen to Lin Cunde, so he ordered Zhu Ji to continue sending more Jinyi guards to patrol near Lin Cunde's residence.

In the palace, Concubine Hang continued to come to pay her respects to Queen Mother Sun.

Inadvertently, Queen Mother Sun handed Concubine Hang a small cloth bag.

Concubine Hang also put it away calmly.

After Concubine Hang returned to her palace, she entered the study and sent out all the people serving around her.

After making sure the door was bolted, Concubine Hang took out the cloth bag and opened it. There was a note and an inconspicuous small sign inside. There were several ancient characters on the small sign. If you look closely, it seemed to have the word "Yu" written on it.

Concubine Hang opened the note and it read, "Leave this token in the hands of the shopkeeper Wang of Manyu Store and not in the hands of others!"
When Concubine Hang saw it, she smiled and threw the note into the stove to burn it.

Putting the token away, he gently opened the door bolt.

In the past two days, she also found out about Lin Cunde. When the news came, Concubine Hang wanted to get rid of him quickly. This person might be Wang Meilin's money bag.

Moreover, His Majesty went to this man's mansion to rest for a day on the second day of the Lunar New Year.If he were an ordinary minister, he would definitely want to make friends with him or even take him for his own use. However, since this person is Wang Ying's future second son-in-law, it is unlikely that he will be taken for his own use. It would be in his best interest to get rid of him.

Concubine Hang went to the soft couch and lay down, thinking about the pros and cons of this matter.

She is also worried that if it is revealed, it will be very detrimental to herself.

Moreover, she is aware of the reputation of the Queen Mother Sun. If she is not careful, she may be betrayed by her. Therefore, she is also considering whether to cooperate with the Queen Mother Sun.

In addition, she also needs to find out, what does His Majesty think of this Lin Cunde?If he is one of your Majesty's most valued ministers, and his Majesty discovers that he assisted the Queen Mother Sun in getting rid of Lin Cunde, it may affect his and his son's status.

However, there is no need to think too much about getting rid of Lin Cunde, just how to get rid of him.

At noon, Zhu Qiyu came to the palace of Concubine Hang and teased Zhu Jianji.

Concubine Hang is also with her.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty hasn't sat at the Queen Mother's side for a long time. The Queen Mother complained today!" Concubine Hang stood there and looked at Zhu Qiyu with a smile.

Zhu Qiyu responded nonchalantly: "I am busy during this period. When I finish my work in a few days, I will go. Thank you for your hard work during this period!"

"It's okay for me to go. The Queen is also pregnant again, so it's natural for me to go more often. The Queen now manages the entire harem. Fortunately, there are soaps and soap workshop profits coming in. Otherwise, it will be even more difficult for the Queen. Yes, I heard that Lin Cunde is really good at business and can bring so much money to the Queen!" Concubine Hang continued to ask tentatively.

"Well, Cunde is good!" Zhu Qiyu continued to play with his son, and simply ignored Concubine Hang's words.

Concubine Hang Guifei was not sure when she heard what Zhu Qiyu said. This did not mean that His Majesty valued Lin Cunde, so she continued to ask tentatively: "If such a person who is good at business is placed in the Ministry of Household Affairs, wouldn't it be more helpful? "

Zhu Qiyu raised his head and glanced at Concubine Hang, then continued to look down at Zhu Jianji and said, "That won't work. Cunde is keeping filial piety. Now let her assist Wang Ying in managing the fifth military camp in the Central Military Governor's Mansion. That's fine. Cunde is a great talent. You’re young, so you don’t have to worry about these things!”

"Oh, Your Majesty also values ​​virtue so much?" Concubine Hang heard what Zhu Qiyu said and immediately answered the question and asked.

Zhu Qiyu raised his head and looked at Concubine Hang suspiciously, and asked, "Why are you asking about him?"

"Ah, no!" Concubine Hang quickly covered it up and said hurriedly: "The main reason is that I heard some rumors about Lin Cunde and learned that this person has such a talent. I want to congratulate Your Majesty!"

"Well, Cunde is indeed good!" Zhu Qiyu still didn't want to talk about Lin Cunde. He didn't want too many people to know about Lin Cunde. This was a good thing for Lin Cunde.

Moreover, in the past two months, I followed Lin Cunde's advice and exercised for a period of time every day. My body became very good, I became more energetic, and I even gained a few pounds, which made Zhu Qiyu very satisfied.

It's just that Lin Cunde is still observing filial piety and cannot be mobilized to his side. Otherwise, he must let Lin Cunde enter the Imperial Academy and let him be by his side to advise him.

And now, he also knows that Lin Cunde may face revenge from the Empress Dowager Sun. Therefore, Zhu Qiyu tries to keep silent about Lin Cunde-related matters. This means that if Concubine Hang asks, if others ask, Zhu Qiyu will definitely become vigilant.

Concubine Hang heard that Zhu Qiyu still said that Cunde was good, and she understood in her heart that Lin Cunde was probably very important to her Majesty.

Concubine Hang also began to hesitate in her heart.

After Zhu Qiyu left for a while, Concubine Hang sat in the study and considered the matter carefully. If she wanted to kill Lin Cunde, she had to take herself out.

But what he didn't know was that when she went to find the people from Manyu Store, she was not actually going to kill Lin Cunde at all, but was arranged by the Empress Dowager Sun to rescue people from Zhu Qizhen.

Empress Dowager Sun made this arrangement with far-reaching considerations.

All plans cannot interrupt the plan to rescue Zhu Qizhen.

Concubine Hang thought about it for a long time, thinking that she couldn't let people in the palace go directly to Manyu Shop. She also needed to change hands. Don't let people find her directly. Otherwise, she would be in danger. Sons may also be affected.

Soon, Concubine Hang began to make arrangements.

In the next two days, Lin Cunde stayed at home. Of course, he always carried the modern crossbow with him, but he didn't care about putting it aside. The ten guards who had received the modern crossbow often practiced using it in the training room.

That evening, a middle-aged man carried a load of oil and entered Sun Zhong's mansion through the side door. About a quarter of an hour later, the middle-aged man came out with a pole. After entering a private house, the middle-aged man again carried a load of oil. , went to an escort office. Half a quarter of an hour later, the middle-aged man came out with a pole and returned to the house. Then, he saw the middle-aged man changing his clothes, holding a package in his hand, and leaving the house.

No one noticed all this, not even the Jin Yiwei who was observing in the dark outside the Sun Mansion could not detect the abnormality.
