Yipin Tianxia
Chapter 437 Life and Death
The price for Zhuang Ke to be a hero is Gao Xian's decree to kill all the men of the Zhuang family scattered all over the place.
As for Zhong Shan, Gao Xian gave him a chance to survive, "Ask your brother who is the mastermind behind the scenes. If he is willing to tell the truth, you still have a chance. Go down to Huangquan, go see Mr. Zhuang and sue me again."
Without even hiding anything, Zhong Shan told Zhuang Ke clearly what the emperor meant.Then, without saying a word, he waited silently for his decision.
"Emperor Dog, he, how dare he threaten me like this?" Zhuang Ke felt a little remorse at this moment.
The imperial power is greater than the sky.
In this world, as long as the descendants of the Zhuang family are still in the records, as long as the descendants of the Zhuang family are still in the Liang Dynasty, their life and death are all in Gao Xian's hands.This is no joke, and there can be no fluke.
Zhong Shan looked at his younger brother who was also tortured to the point of being out of shape. He felt pity, but also a sense of helpless sadness, "The emperor is just ordering to execute the group of people who were listed in the search list back then, and their children will not be implicated. If If you continue to resist stubbornly, the emperor may kill the grass and exterminate the nine clans. At that time, when you are under the underworld, how will you explain to the ancestors of the Zhuang family."
Zhuang Ke closed her eyes and finally opened her mouth, "Yes..."
Suddenly, the lights in the cell were suddenly extinguished.
The sound of the wind flashed by, and when the jailers yelled, "Who is it?" Zhuang Ke was already dead when the lights were turned on again.
A sword seals the throat.
But all the guards' knives were clean, and they turned the prison upside down.No additional murder weapon was found.
The matter was quickly reported to the emperor, Gao Xian was not angry, nor did he lose his temper, but sneered a little playfully, and ordered Zhong Shan to be brought to him.
"Although your brother is dead, I can still let you live."
"Please order, Your Majesty." Zhong Shan was not a fool, and knew that he was going to be used.But for the sake of the family members who are still alive, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire, he has to go through it.
Gao Xian threw the silver hairpin that was used as evidence at that time in front of him. "Find out the mastermind behind the scenes, and I will spare you."
Although this silver hairpin was used to frame Su Cheng, it also pointed out the direction for Gao Xian.
The person who ordered Zhuang Ke to assassinate him must be related to the person who hunted him down in Dingzhou back then!Most likely someone from the grasslands, of course.Also involved in the palace.Otherwise, it would be impossible to have such a great ability to cause troubles under his nose again and again.
If this person is not removed, it will really make him sleepless.
Zhong Shan had no other choice at all. Picking up the silver hairpin, he only had one request, "Your Majesty, if the villain lives up to his fate and finds out the real culprit behind the scenes. Can the emperor allow the villain to go home?"
Dealer?High-sighted inquiries.
Zhong Shan bowed to the ground, "I owe Mr. Su, and I want to pay him back."
Gao Xian nodded and ordered someone to take him down.
That night, a moderate fire broke out in the prison, and some prisoners died, including Zhong Shan.
After Nianfu heard about it.It was very uncomfortable, and I personally took someone to collect the body.But all he got was a corpse that was so charred that he couldn't see its face clearly.
Because he is a guilty person, it is not easy to do things for him blatantly, so we can only ask the maids to burn more paper money and scriptures, and prepare to put on clean clothes for burial, which can be regarded as showing the love of master and servant.
But when Liu Er came back to collect the corpse, she took out her silver jewelry with red eyes and asked her quietly, "Princess, can I exchange some gold with you? Not too much, the smallest gold ingot is fine. I heard the old people say , when you are buried, you need to have something like this in place, so that you won’t be underestimated by the little devils when you go down to the underworld, and maybe Butler Zhong can have a good pregnancy.”
Nian Fuyuan wanted to say, then simply take a large ingot of gold to see if there is something special, and prepare a few more for Zhong Shan.But Liu'er was afraid that she would not agree, so she said again, "I thought that silver is also acceptable, but silver is too unflammable, I think it is real gold that is not afraid of fire, that's why I came to ask the princess."
Nianfu was slightly startled, "What money?"
Liu'er lowered her head, her voice choked with sobs, "Last time, Steward Zhong helped me. I gave him two pairs of shoes, and later he gave me a piece of new material, so I embroidered a purse for him. The small silver vase has a serial port, but when it was collected just now, it couldn’t be found, so it must have been burnt.”
Nianfu paused, seeing Liu Er's expression, she and Zhong Shan seemed to have some budding feelings.It must be sad to be cut off now.
Not right!Real gold is not afraid of fire, nor is pure silver.At most, it will be burnt black, but it will never burn out.
She hurriedly asked, "Have you looked carefully, is there really no pair of small silver bottles on the corpse?"
Liu Er was taken aback, "Master, why do you ask such a question? Could it be..."
Nianfu thought for a while, if Zhong Shan is really not dead, then his existence must be extremely secret.I don't know that the year of the monkey can only come back, so it's better not to give people unnecessary hopes.
So he said, "I was thinking about it for a while. Since it is a purse, it is very likely that it fell into prison when the fire broke out. You go to my box and get two gold ingots. You can figure out what you want to do." "
Liu'er didn't doubt him, so she agreed to leave, but Nianfu felt something was wrong.
The mastermind behind the scenes has not been found out yet, why did Zhuang Ke die for no reason?It happened so coincidentally that a fire broke out in the prison cell. Could there be some arrangement by the emperor?
But these are not things she can inquire about.
Nianfu put these conjectures in his heart, and accompanied Hui Niang to Princess Deqing's mansion.
In a flash, it has been twenty days since Han Si passed away, and only when the capital settled down, his funeral could be arranged.
In just a few days, Deqing has become much thinner and more mature.Dressed in pure white filial piety, greet relatives and friends, although the brows are sad, but the back is strong and straight.
"Good boy, I'm really sorry for you." Even after learning those court etiquettes, Madam Hui still doesn't know how to socialize.
But when Deqing heard such simple words and unaffected tears, his heart was sore and warm, and he shed tears.Nianfu did not persuade.Some tears should be shed, let them flow, and only when the tears flow out can people find peace in their hearts.
After a while, Madam Hui stopped her tears, "Look at me, when I saw you, I just cried and didn't say a word of seriousness. Come on, take me to put incense on your son-in-law's horse. The prince is also coming. But he was also seriously ill when he fled a few days ago, and he was not feeling well in the past two days, so I didn't ask him to come. But after a few days, when the day was right, he said that he had to come."
Deqing hurriedly thanked him, and also greeted him a few words.Bring the mother and daughter who read blessings to offer incense.
In the mourning hall, a woman with nearly all white hair was sitting there blankly, staring at the coffin in the middle without blinking, as if her whole body's energy had been taken away by the coffin.In fact, she is only in her early forties, but now she looks like an old man in her seventies and eighties, who is dying of illness.
Deqing couldn't help feeling sad again.He stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Mother-in-law, Princess Ping and Princess Jiashan are here."
oh.Han Mu twisted her neck awkwardly, nodded, said thank you, and turned to look at the coffin.
Nianfu felt uncomfortable and didn't dare to stay longer. After burning incense, he came out to talk with Deqing on his arm. "It's not a solution for your mother-in-law, it's better to let someone come and untie it."
Deqing smiled wryly. "Why don't I know? Someone has been sent to pick up my aunt's family who came to Beijing. But my mother-in-law has only one son in her life. She is young and widowed, and all her life's hopes are placed on him. Now the white-haired man sends the black-haired man. How can she stand it?"
Hui Niang glanced at her belly, "Have you seen the doctor before?"
Deqing understood that he was asking her if she was pregnant, so he shook his head sadly.
Hui Niang held her hand and sighed pitifully, "No matter how hard your mother-in-law is, there was hope after all, but you are so young, how will you live the rest of your life?"
No one told her such a big truth except the old nanny beside her.Deqing felt sad for a while, and couldn't help but shed tears again.Although the emperor didn't say it clearly, Deqing knew that she would never be able to marry in this life.
Although she and Han Si have been on good terms since they got married, they have only been married for a few days. Unlike Mu Shaoqin and Hui Niang, they used to share weal and woe with deep affection, no matter how good a relationship is, there is a limit.Now she is required to guard her life for the sake of her reputation, which is really too cruel for any young woman.
"Don't be discouraged, take your time." Hui Niang suddenly whispered in her ear, "People's hearts are made of flesh, you are still young, just wait."
Deqing looked up impressively, what does this mean?Could it be that she still has hope?
Niang Hui didn't promise her a bad promise, she just asked Nianfu to take out the supplements she brought, "Keep the green hills, and you won't be afraid of burning firewood. You are still young, and taking good care of your body is more important than anything else. As for In the future, we will all take it to heart.”
There is such a sentence, which is better than countless supplements.
Deqing also knew that this might not be possible.But for someone to plan for her so sincerely, this kind of friendship is very precious.
In the past, like everyone else, she thought that Niang Hui was just a country woman who didn't understand anything, but she just got lucky to marry Mu Shaoqin and became a princess.But now it seems that this uncle and grandma is a really good person with a solid heart.In the past, when I was prosperous, I didn't see her coming, but now I am in trouble, but she still looks like a real elder, worrying about her.
Thinking about it this way, Deqing became very close to Madam Hui from the bottom of his heart, and wanted to have a few more heart-to-heart conversations, but another guest arrived.I had no choice but to greet her first, and told Madam Hui to stay and eat before leaving.
Now that we're here, we must make a good show for others, and Niang Hui didn't rush back, so she and her daughter are guests here with peace of mind.
After a while, another group of female guests were invited in.
Except for Guan Yaozu's old lady, I don't recognize the rest of the blessings.She knew that although her status was respected, she was too young, so she stood behind Huiniang very sensiblely, and blessed all the officials and wives, and performed the junior ceremony.
Others were good, and only one lady in blue said, "We can't stand the princess being so polite. Speaking of which, even a concubine who has not yet started in your house is of high grade, which is not a common decency. But Madam Guan, you have always disliked concubines, why don't you care about your relatives going to be concubines this time?"
Nianfu's heart sank, what is the purpose of holding a gun and a stick like this?Looking at Niang Hui again, after all, she couldn't hide her thoughts on her face, and her expression changed slightly.

As for Zhong Shan, Gao Xian gave him a chance to survive, "Ask your brother who is the mastermind behind the scenes. If he is willing to tell the truth, you still have a chance. Go down to Huangquan, go see Mr. Zhuang and sue me again."
