Mu Huagui

Chapter 179 Strict Wife Control

"I'll send someone to take you back home." Chen Jiao'er heard that his tone was wrong, and nodded obediently.Zhou Mingyuan immediately arranged for the steward to send the imperial concubine back to the mansion, and he himself recruited all the subordinates who had been dispersed just now.

I waited until very late at night, but Zhou Mingyuan didn't come back. Chen Jiao'er was about to send someone to ask, but Zhu Sheng came back and reported, "Master, I'm afraid you are worried, so let me come back and report a letter. There is a case to be tried tonight, so let's rest." In the yamen."

Chen Jiao'er packed the licorice for a change of clothes, and prepared food for Zhusheng to take away.I went to the house to look at Brother Shun, saw that he was sleeping soundly, maybe he had dreamed of something, suddenly showed a smiling face, and kicked his calf.Seeing that Chen Jiao'er's heart was about to melt, she bent down and kissed her son's face, but the uneasiness in her heart could not be lingered.

Zhou Mingyuan only said that this was aimed at the emperor, only Chen Jiao'er had a faint guess in his heart that this incident might also be aimed at him.The matter of rebirth, like a big rock, has been pressing in her heart.I can't tell anyone, and I dare not say it.

She is afraid, afraid that if she speaks out, everything she owns will disappear, and she will become that Chen Jiao'er who has nothing.No relatives, no friends, never see my son again.No, maybe Brother Shun will also be implicated by her.

Chen Jiao'er suddenly stood up, no, she can't lose, women are weak but mothers are strong.For Brother Shun, she must not lose.Seeing her son, she seemed to have infinite courage, making her fearless of anyone and anything.

The second version of the rumors came out soon. Zhou Mingyuan listened calmly to the reports from the people below, and clenched his fists tightly.Zhu Sheng whispered, "Don't be annoyed, my son, those people have ulterior motives, so they naturally attack the place you care most about."

"Enter the palace." After staying in the yamen for a few days, interrogating prisoners every day, and taking clues to catch the rumor-mongers, I was very tired.I understand in my heart how much the emperor attaches importance to, even if I don't report it myself, someone else will report it.

The emperor was not very surprised when he heard this, but he was not as optimistic as he thought, "Continue to investigate this matter, and all rumormongers will be executed in secret. Don't think that you can relax your vigilance by targeting a woman. , a trick to drive people apart."

One sentence made Zhou Mingyuan understand in an instant. In the winter, he broke out in a cold sweat, knelt down on his knees, and respectfully nibbled three heads, "Thank you, Your Majesty." Then he was willing to get up.

"You." Emperor Tianqi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he usually showed him a lot of kindness, but he didn't take it seriously.Only for this woman, it seems that once related to her, he loses his sense of proportion.He has no doubt that this best friend since childhood can give up everything for his wife, including the inheritable title.

Back at the palace, seeing Chen Jiao'er, before the servant girl stepped forward to help him change into homely clothes, she stepped forward and hugged her.

"What's the matter?" Chen Jiao'er was a little flustered, it was the first time seeing him look so depressed.

The servants all tiptoed back, Chen Jiao'er helped him change his clothes, and wiped his face and hands with a hot handkerchief.

"No matter what happens, I will protect you and Brother Shun, no matter what happens." Zhou Mingyuan seemed to be emphasizing something, looking at Chen Jiao'er, looking at her Moyu-like eyes, just like when he first saw her Clear and bright.

"I am neither a vine nor a grass. I will stand by your side, no matter who it is. If you dare to destroy my home, I will make her life worse than death." Chen Jiao'er put down her veil and held his hand tightly. hands, firm eyes.

Zhou Mingyuan laughed happily, and only his own woman would not cry, make noise, or fear when any danger came, but use her own means and courage to stand with him.They... depend on each other and depend on each other.

Today's words from the emperor woke him up. The person who came here did not directly attack the emperor, but focused on Chen Jiao'er, simply to make the emperor in a dilemma.Chen Jiao'er is the eldest daughter-in-law of Prince Dong, and also the eldest concubine on the royal jade plate.If things get serious, and it really comes to the day when it will be cut off, it will either break the hearts of Zhou Mingyuan and all the heroes of the royal family, or break the hearts of the people in the world.

No matter what it hurts, the result of people's dissatisfaction is naturally to allow other people to take advantage of it.After Zhou Mingyuan understood, he was both scared and angry.Who would point the finger at Chen Jiao'er? Now, he can't wait to find out this person and tear him into pieces.

"Do you still remember that Lin Zhicong?"

"He was not sentenced to exile." Of course Zhou Mingyuan remembered that this case was still handled by him, so there was nothing unclear about it.

"He faked his death and was rescued back to the capital. Maybe it was in Qin Yiyi's hands." Chen Jiao'er thought about it, and she was the most suspected one.Of course there are other people who hate her, but no one else has the ability to do such a thing, let alone dare to oppose the emperor.

"What does he know?" Zhou Mingyuan looked at her strangely.

"He doesn't know about Chunye and I, and thinks we are the same person." At the beginning, Chen Jiao'er made up a lie, saying that she wanted to avenge Chunye, because she saw a letter in the Poison Sutra left by Mother Qiao.Helping her out of sympathy.

"How is this possible? Such an absurd thing needs to be believed." It is absurd, but it is a time of catastrophe, and it is driven by caring people.Coupled with the fact that the emperor will seek stability in everything soon after taking power, it is really uncertain what will happen.

"You guys eat first, I'll go out for a while." Seeing the food being served, Zhou Mingyuan was setting the table, but there was no taste at all, so he picked up his cloak and walked out.

Seeing Zhou Mingyuan, Lu Huo'er was a little surprised, "Why do you come here when you have time?"

"Why are you here?" Seeing Chang Zaixian, Zhou Mingyuan was a little surprised. He had just got married, and he didn't stay with his wife in the mansion, but went to Lu's house to fool around.Coupled with his jumpy temperament, Zhou Mingyuan felt a headache when he saw him.

"Haha, how can I forget my friends when I see sex, of course I have to spare time to spend time with him, an unmarried guy." Chang Zai Xianyue said with confidence, the more he said something was wrong.

Sure enough, Lu Huo'er mercilessly exposed, "Obviously he was kicked out of the house by his own wife, but he still came to tell me that a good brother is loyal. If you have the ability, you go back now and see if you can enter the house." "Finally, he sneered twice.

Chang Zaixian touched his head, not at all embarrassed, but instead asked, "My cousin was kicked out by my cousin too."

The two of them rolled their eyes at Chang Zaixian at the same time. Lu Huo'er knew that he hadn't eaten dinner after asking, so he asked his servants to add an extra tableware.

Jokes aside, both of them knew that Zhou Mingyuan would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and Chang Zaixian couldn't help asking without waiting for him to open his mouth.Knowing that someone was using the calamity year to spread rumors and make trouble, the first one jumped up and rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'd like to see who is so courageous."

"Find Lin Zhicong first..."

"Lord Marquis, people in the palace have urgent matters to find the eldest son." Lu Huo'er has inherited the title and is now the Marquis of Zhenyuan.

The servants naturally knew about the relationship between the two families. Zhusheng had been waiting outside, and when he heard the sound, he walked in quickly and told him, "Someone in the porridge shed suddenly fainted after drinking our porridge, and when he woke up, he went crazy, saying What evildoer has come out, the mantra is buried under the city wall, and it will be dug with people."

The three of them stood up at the same time, and rode to the place where the accident happened in a very tacit understanding.

Several people and stone tablets were tied together, and more than a dozen officers and soldiers formed a circle and confronted the victims.Many people shouted "Get rid of the evildoer."

"They are the spokespersons of the heavens, and they cannot be arrested, otherwise they will be punished by the heavens."

Everyone shouted and shouted, the scene was chaotic, and the situation was about to get out of control.Seeing the cowardly look of his subordinates, Zhou Mingyuan rode his horse and rushed through the crowd, scanning the onlookers with his eyes like a cold wind.

Shen Jing said, "If those who gather today don't disperse, all porridge sheds will be closed for porridge tomorrow."

Saying a word, the onlookers ran faster than rabbits with a "boom", and there were seven or eight big men left, with thick arms and round waists, who didn't look like disaster victims at all.He was yelling hard, "Don't believe them, be careful of God's wrath..."

A shoe was thrown from Chang Zaixian's horse, and it hit him in the mouth, and blood spurted far away.With a wave of Chang Zai Xian's hand, the soldiers who rushed to get the order tied up the seven or eight big men, and threw them into the carriage with the bundled ones before, and dragged them to Dali Temple.

A dozen or so people from Dali Temple clasped their fists at Zhou Mingyuan dejectedly, "This subordinate deserves to die."

Zhou Mingyuan shook his head, he was still too careless, and there were too few people, which caused them to focus on one thing and lose another.These people hid among the victims and fanned the flames. They were hard to guard against, and it was difficult to clean them out without enough manpower.

After they were sent to Dali Temple, Lu Huo'er and Chang Zaixian didn't feel like going back to their residence at all, and went straight into the yamen in a swaggering manner.There was a great intention to accompany him in the trial, and Chang Zaixian was gearing up for it. He generously said to the servant, "Go, go back and tell the young lady, just say that I am going to trial the case in Dali Temple, and I won't go back for a few days. Go and go quickly." .”

After the people below put the prisoners in solitary confinement, they checked the basic situation one by one.The servants of the Chang family came back, panting from running, it seemed that they were urged hard enough by the young mistress.Chang Zaixian is very proud of himself, if it is not winter, he would like to shake a folding fan.

"Young Mistress said, if you want to go back or not, if you want to try the case, you will stay in Dali Temple for the rest of your life. I won't serve you, Auntie."

After shouting, he said with a mournful face, "Master, it's not the young one, it's the young lady who said that if you dare to change a word casually, you will tell the young one to be a bachelor for the rest of your life."

Both Zhou Mingyuan and Lu Huo'er couldn't help laughing, Chang Zai was so angry that he flew out, "Get out, get out."

They came up for interrogation one by one, and they were directly sentenced to severe punishment if they were not asked. Zhou Mingyuan didn't have the patience to entangle with them at the moment.All statements were put together, they were hired by the same person.Apart from knowing that it is a man, I don't know anything else.Every time he shows up, he wears a mask.

According to the clues they provided, they went to several houses and went to nothing.The information of the owner of the house can only be found tomorrow, so the three of them simply slept in Dali Temple.

They each sent their servants back to fetch some change of clothes, Lin Ruofen saw that Xianggong was really staying at Dali Temple, so she believed it, and sent a servant girl to bring ginseng and chicken soup there.To Chang Zai Xianhao's dissatisfaction, he had to wake up the two people who had already fallen asleep and drink soup together.
