Distressed wife

Chapter 444 Confused (5)
Mu Ziyan raised her eyebrows proudly, "Everything is waiting for news from cousin Zhang and brother."

"Okay." Zhang Zong just replied helplessly at the moment, when did he do such a deceitful thing?Who told him to be short-handed?
Zhang Yu and Mu Lingxuan saw Zhong Xian blushing, and they looked at each other. After Zhong Xian was completely drunk, one supported him, while the other turned around and went into the dark room, changing into a night clothes , Waiting for Zhang Ni to help Zhong Xian back to the Zhonghou Mansion, put him on the bed, and then staggered away.

Zhong Xian was really drunk. After staying for two hours, he felt a little thirsty, so he got up and fumbled for the teacup. At this moment, he saw a black shadow flashing past. Thinking of the assassin last night, Zhong Xian Xian's alcohol smell was also half gone, so he chased him out immediately, until he reached Lord Zhonghou's courtyard, Zhong Xian rushed in, still holding a long sword in his hand, and saw a bed not far away, The assassin was raising his hand to slash, so he raised his sword and stabbed at it.

The servants outside heard the movement, and the housekeeper led the servants to rush over. Because there were no candles in the room, only Zhong Xian's back was seen, and he was stabbing the bed with his sword at the moment.

The black shadow left early in the morning, and this scene was seen by the people who arrived later. It was Zhong Xian who was about to kill Lord Zhong Hou after he was drunk. throw down.

Zhang Zong led the people ready, and immediately broke into Zhonghou's mansion, seeing the scene in front of him, he quickly said in a low voice, "What's going on?"

"Young Master, he's gone crazy." A servant at the side said.

The butler originally wanted to suppress this matter, and wait until Hou Ye woke up to talk about it, but now, Jing Zhaoyin bumped into him, he couldn't hide it, but he could only hold on.

"Slave dog, what nonsense are you talking about?" the butler said in a deep voice, "Young master is drunk."

"Oh?" Zhang Zong stepped forward and saw Zhong Xian lying on the ground at the moment. His alcohol smell had completely dissipated. How do you explain that?"

"I..." Zhong Xian took a deep breath, "I did it."

"Oh, Eldest Young Master." The housekeeper cried out that something was wrong, and rushed up.

How could Zhang Zong wait until the housekeeper stopped him, he raised his hand and said, "Please Mr. Zhong to go to the Yamen of Jingzhao Yin's Mansion."

"Yes." The yamen servant behind him was ready, and immediately stepped forward and stood on both sides of Zhong Xian, "Please, Mr. Zhong."

Zhong Xian raised his eyes and glanced at the housekeeper, then walked out following him.

The housekeeper was very anxious, turned around and looked at Lord Zhong Hou who was still unconscious on the bed, remembering being at a loss.

When Zhong Xian came out of the yard, he saw someone rushing over. After getting closer, he saw Mrs. Zhong and Zhong Yu. Mrs. Zhong stopped in front of her immediately, "Wait a minute."

"Old lady, this official is handling the case impartially." Zhang Zong said in a low voice, "Elder Prince Zhong intended to assassinate Lord Zhong just now, and this official saw it with his own eyes."

"Can you wait a little later and make a decision after Master Zhong wakes up?" Mrs. Zhong looked at Zhong Xian and said in a low voice, her tone pleading.

"This..." Zhang Zong was hesitating when he heard an order from outside.

"So it's Chief Manager Zhang." Zhang Zong raised his eyes and saw Zhang Xi approaching not far away, and then he stood there as if relieved of a heavy burden.

Zhang Xi stepped forward, looked at Mrs. Zhong, and then at Zhang Zong and Zhong Xian, "The emperor has a decree, Mr. Zhang will immediately bring Zhong Shizi into the palace."

"I obey the order." Zhang Zong bowed his head in response, and then looked at Mrs. Zhong, "Old lady, this is really... I can only invite Mrs. Zhong into the palace."

Mrs. Zhong trembled when she heard this, knowing that this matter might be a foregone conclusion, she became anxious immediately, but she was helpless, watching Zhang Zong take Zhong Xian away with her eyes.

The next day, after Master Zhong woke up, Madam Zhong sat aside with red eyes.

Master Zhong Hou obviously paused, supported his forehead, and said in a low voice, "Mother, what is this?"

"Brother Xian is gone." Mrs. Zhong was so angry that she knocked on the crutch in her hand, and then looked at Lord Zhong, "You woke up too late."

Lord Zhong was stunned, he didn't know what happened, he suddenly encountered an assassin, he was hit by a sword and then fainted, he just woke up, how could Xianer be gone?
The housekeeper quickly knelt down, and reported the events of the past two days to Lord Zhonghou in detail. When Lord Zhonghou heard this, his face was gloomy and angry, and he spat out a mouthful of black blood, "The emperor killed him that night. Given to die?"

"Exactly." The housekeeper knelt on the ground, "The body of the young master was also destroyed by the emperor."

"What?" Zhong Xianke only had this son. After waking up, how could he expect that the son he cultivated so hard would disappear like this?His eyes turned cold, "Why didn't the emperor leave a whole body?"

"Father killing is a felony. The emperor decreed that he should be punished immediately. The people in the palace saw it with their own eyes." The steward knelt on the ground and replied truthfully.

"No." Master Zhong Hou rolled his eyes angrily, and immediately passed out.

Mrs. Zhong had already fainted when she heard that, and the Zhonghou Mansion was completely in chaos. On the same day, the palace sent Zhong Xian's ashes over. Master Zhong trembled violently as he looked at the cold general jar. After a few moments, he sighed. He had been planning for so long, and even if he got what he wanted in the future, he would have no heirs to inherit. How could he be reconciled to this?The emperor cut off the queen of his Zhong family.

Master Zhong Hou shot a cold light of hatred in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Bury the young master well."

"Yes." The butler carefully backed out with his hands in his hands.

On that day, it was known in the capital that Zhong Shizi had attempted to kill his father, but happened to be captured on the spot by Jing Zhaoyin, Master Zhang. The emperor Longyan was furious, and he was sentenced to death that night.

The Zhonghou Mansion collected the ashes, so they couldn't make a big fuss about the funeral, so they had to secretly find a cemetery for a hasty burial.

But at the moment in the Jingzhaoyin Mansion, Zhang Zong looked at Zhong Xian who was sitting across from him, sipping tea calmly, with a natural indifference in his brows and eyes, not even half of the elegance of a nobleman. Now he looks like a knight in the rivers and lakes.

Mu Ziyan sat across from each other, looking at Zhong Xian, "Brother Zhongbiao, have you ever thought about where to go?"

"Zhong Xian is dead, you can call me third brother in the future." Zhong Xian looked at Mu Ziyan and said.
