The abandoned wife of the noble family, she is Black Heart Lotus

Chapter 206 Seeking Death
The friend sitting next to him saw that Qi Jinzhi's expression was wrong and quickly stopped him.

Qi Jinzhi didn't appreciate it and pushed his friend away, "Don't stop me. I'm going to ask that woman if her heart is made of stone. Why is she so stone-hearted?"

The friend just realized that the woman Qi Jinzhi was staring at just now was Gu Deyin. Of course, he did not miss Xiao Mingzhang who was laughing happily with Gu Deyin. If these three people met, something big would happen.

And since he is with Qi Jinzhi, he is likely to be angered by the Qi family, which is not good.

He was afraid of getting into trouble, so he quickly said, "No, you are wrong. I didn't see Miss Gu..."

"She's downstairs."

Qi Jinzhi said angrily, and pulled his friend to the window to show him.

The friend looked over tremblingly, but did not see the regent. Naturally, he also did not see the woman beside him. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where is Miss Gu here? Look, where is Miss Gu?"

Being questioned, Qi Jinzhi looked angrily, but he didn't see Xiao Mingzhang and Gu Deyin even though he opened his eyes wide. Could it be that he was dazzled just now?
He rubbed his eyes in disbelief and began to search for the two people in a large area, but he couldn't find any traces. At this moment, he was stunned in place and couldn't react for a while.

The friend on the side said, "You are just dazzled. Come, come, get drunk and relieve a thousand worries. Today, my brother is willing to go out of his way to drink with you until you have enough. I guarantee that you will not remember caring about girls and not caring about girls."

He hurriedly asked Jinzhi to return to the wine table, poured him wine himself, and clapped his hands to call a famous singer from the capital to come in and play and sing, so as to distract Qi Jinzhi and stop yelling.

He could not afford to offend either Xiao Mingzhang or Qi Jinzhi.

Xiao Mingzhang and Gu Deyin on the other side did not notice at all that Qi Jinzhi was furious in the restaurant. It was purely a temporary matter and they had to end this short time together.

When they parted, both of them looked at each other reluctantly.

In the end, Xiao Mingzhang said, "I won't send you back to the review house today. You can go first."

Gu Deyin knew that time was precious, so she stopped being pretentious. Instead, she nodded, got into the carriage, and waved her handkerchief to Xiao Mingzhang. She walked away gracefully.

However, Xiao Mingzhang felt a little grievance in his heart. She really left without any nostalgia.

He shook his head, that's all, what's there to argue with her?
He mounted his horse and quickly ran away from her. There was still endless business waiting for him.

Eunuch Zhang got Qi Meizhi's approval and immediately went back excitedly to prepare for the trip. The scenery in other places was much better than in the capital.

As soon as he returned, he rewarded Liu Ruohe heavily. Although this woman was stupid most of the time, she would occasionally have a bright idea. This time she gave him a good idea, at least Qi Meizhi was quite happy after hearing it.

Liu Ruohe congratulated Eunuch Zhang with joy on her face, but she was very worried in her heart. Eunuch Zhang would probably never come back. Gu Deyin has always been a vicious person. She must have her reasons for instructing her to do this. She had to find a way to do it in advance. Just get away.

While Eunuch Zhang was happy, she stepped forward to squeeze his shoulders and said softly and gently, "Eunuch, you are running around outside, and I can't help you much. Why don't I go to the temple to pray for my family? I hope that my father-in-law will go well outside." Yes, I don’t know how good it is?”

Eunuch Zhang frowned slightly, but thinking that he was now at the height of his power, Liu Ruohe didn't dare to play any tricks. Besides, most of the wealthy families in the capital like to go to temples or temples to pray for blessings. He can be considered a wealthy family now, and the female relatives at home are like this Doing it is the icing on the cake.

With this thought, he agreed to Liu Ruohe's proposal.

Liu Ruohe was overjoyed. She had already planned her retreat in her heart. Once she left the capital, she could fly freely in the sky.

On the day Eunuch Zhang left the capital, Liu Ruohe took all the valuables he had packed up secretly and headed to Xintai Temple.

Gu Deyin stood at the restaurant closest to the city gate, looking coldly at Eunuch Zhang's motorcade out of Beijing. As she expected, Eunuch Zhang was still in the same arrogant mood. It seemed that he had not learned to restrain himself at all.

In other words, after people's hearts swell, they can't go back to the past. Eunuch Zhang has completely forgotten where he came from, but it doesn't matter, she will send him to the other side where he should go.

After the long motorcade had left the city and was no longer in sight, she turned around and walked out of the box to go home, when she saw her assistants Zhao Mulei and Hua Chao walking up together in a hurry.

She frowned slightly, "What happened?"

Hua Chao leaned into her ear and said, "Girl, Liu Ruohe went to Xintai Temple to pray, and he didn't bring any brothers with him."

When Gu Deyin heard this, she relaxed her eyebrows and said, "I still want to know what happened. Is it abnormal for her to react like this?"

No matter how down-and-out Liu Ruohe is now, she was once a daughter of an uncle's house. Naturally, she found that she had been drinking poison to quench her thirst. She was trying to find a way to save herself.

Thinking of this, she smiled coldly, "She wants to escape, but I won't let her get her way. Send someone to keep an eye on her, and stop her immediately if she makes any move."

Eunuch Zhang was going to die, and she couldn't escape alone. What good things could she think of?

She had done her best to keep her alive for so many more days. If she hadn't thought about using the waste, she would have killed her long ago in order to avenge her son who died innocently in his previous life. After Liu Ruohe settled in Xintai Temple, she did not do anything else except chanting and copying sutras. She knew very well that Gu Deyin was lurking in the dark and she could not see her, so she had to be careful.

So she was fully prepared.

Although the uncle's house had collapsed and her father was no longer alive, the Liu family still had several close friends back then. With this relationship, she easily obtained new household registration and road guidance, including her brother Liu Chunhe's.

The two brothers and sisters want to escape together. As for the brothers, they can only hope for their own blessings.

She wants to keep this son as a cover-up.

Anyway, she is still young. Once she leaves this quagmire, she will naturally have new children if she marries again in the future.

Gu Deyin stared at her very closely. She knew even the household registration and road directions she had newly obtained in great detail. She looked at them mockingly. She picked them up and put them on the candlestick, letting the candlelight burn everything. ash.

"I changed my mind. If she wants to escape, let her escape first. I want to give her a heavy final blow when she is full of hope."

Gu Deyin's face at this time looked a little half-dark in the flickering candlelight, and looked a bit scary.

Hua Shu glanced at his master and took the order to make arrangements.

Gu Deyin then picked up the news from Jiangnan and read it. Eunuch Zhang was indeed very arrogant in other places.

As soon as he arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, he put on a grand show and made a lot of money in the name of praying to the Queen Mother. Ding Shibo rushed to give money and things to Eunuch Zhang, and successfully fought with Eunuch Zhang.

"It is said that Eunuch Zhang has verbally agreed that all the items needed in the palace will be provided by the Ding family in the future. He also said that when he returns to Beijing, he will introduce the Ding family head to the Queen Mother. This makes the Ding family head even more obedient to him, as if he has become Eunuch Zhang's side. An obedient dog..."

Hua Chao curled her lips disdainfully and said, whether it was the Ding family master or Zhang Eunuch, she hated them very much. Anyone who bullied her family master should die.

Gu Deyin pinched her cheek in a funny way, "Let's not be so angry. Come on, let's smile. It's the last step to close the net anyway, and they can't escape."

Eunuch Zhang, who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, had no premonition that his death was imminent. He had lived for so many days and had never been as prosperous as he is now. If he hadn't been a rootless man, he would have wanted to take over this world and have a taste of it. Taste what it's like to be an emperor.

The string of rationality gradually loosened. He lived in flattery every day and became a little arrogant. He began to forget how much he weighed.

When he was in a good mood, he would see the greetings from Jiangnan officials. If he was in a bad mood, he would just reject them.

But not everyone agreed with him. Some honest and upright officials showed disgust when they saw Eunuch Zhang's behavior, and they also became dissatisfied with Qi Meizhi, the current Queen Mother.

Once such a voice appeared, the news of Eunuch Zhang's arrogant behavior spread even wider. Some officials who were not ashamed to associate with him did not come forward to receive him. This made Eunuch Zhang, who had high self-esteem due to his popularity, furious.

What he hates most in his life is that there are people who look down on him, so he gets rid of such people quickly.

The conflict intensified day by day. At a banquet, an official walked away. Eunuch Zhang was so angry that he threw the dishes on the table at the back of the man's head, causing him to bleed and faint on the spot.

But he didn't take it seriously, took the handkerchief from the attendant's hand and wiped his hands slowly, "You don't take our family into consideration, that is, you don't take the Queen Mother into consideration, and you are even despising the emperor. This But for a serious crime, death is not an exaggeration."

When other officials saw him being so arrogant and domineering, their faces turned red with anger. It was intolerable for those of them who read sage books to let a person with no roots be so humiliated.

Instigated by Qingliu officials, Jiangnan students began to cause trouble, and they bluntly wanted to pray to the Queen Mother to severely punish lawless people like Eunuch Zhang.

When the news came back to the palace, Queen Mother Qi was furious.

Even if Eunuch Zhang made a lot of mistakes, he was still a dog beside her. Do these people see her as the queen mother of the dynasty?

She refused to bow to these people and continued to let Eunuch Zhang act arrogantly outside.

Eunuch Zhang did not receive a rebuke from the palace, nor did he receive an order to return to the capital. He immediately understood his master's intention and prayed to the Queen Mother to demonstrate her authority and show the world that no one should underestimate her, the Queen Mother.

He intensified his efforts, directly ignored the provincial chief officials, and stepped up his efforts to collect money.

In the end, more and more people were offended, and the voices calling for his execution became louder and louder.

Qi Meizhi remained unmoved. She did not believe that she, the Queen Mother, could not suppress these objections.

Xiao Mingzhang deliberately let it go and allowed the two parties to fight. He sat firmly on the Diaoyutai.

Gu Deyin paid attention to the progress of the situation every day, and it was not until the situation became clear that she said softly.

"It's getting cold, and it's time for Eunuch Zhang to hit the road."
