First wife's original manuscript

Chapter 189

Zeng Rou's mother's surname is Qi, and she is about sixty years old now. When she saw Zeng Rou with her death-defying eyes, she was not surprised, nor was she happy to be rescued, "Xiaorou, mother is here to find you." , let's go together on the road to Huangquan, back then... Mother didn't find you the right husband, Mother didn't raise you well, don't blame Mother."

Hearing Mrs. Qi's words became more and more weird, Zeng Rou hurriedly interrupted her, "Mother hasn't gone yet, and I haven't died yet. Let's live in the present moment, who wants us to go to hell?"

"Not dead? How could it be? Lord Yu said that you have been deposed by the emperor as a queen and made room for the imperial concubine. How could you not be dead? My daughter would rather die than be insulted by the imperial concubine."

Zeng Rou's head was covered with sweat, the delay of the news killed her, she was in a more dangerous situation before leaning over, but now... Zeng Rou has not been a queen enough, how could she be deposed by the emperor?
"Mom touched my face, I really didn't die."

"what."

Mrs. Qi's withered palm touched Zeng Rou's cheek. The warm and delicate skin told her that her daughter was still alive. She saw the guards who respectfully rescued Zeng's relatives from behind. The pressure of many days made her breathless. , threw herself into Zeng Rou's arms, "Xiaorou... woo...."

"Mom, it's all over, it's all over."

"With me here, no one dares to bully you. The enmity between father and brother, the resentment of niece, I will get back the same."

Mrs. Qi wiped her tears and asked: "Xiaorou is still the empress?"

"En." Zeng Rou helped Mrs. Qi up, "Mother, tell me carefully, what's going on? Is Prince Yu crazy? Anyway, the Zeng family is also a relative of the emperor, and his father is the head of the state, so there is no real deposed queen." News, how dare he...how dare..."

Now this group of princes who made great contributions to the founding of the country are raised by the emperor as pigs, especially the group of empty tube princes outside the customs are more like breeding pigs waiting to die.

Zeng Rou didn't expect them to have IQ at all, but this Prince Yu who bullied the queen's natal family really... said he was a stupid pig, and the stupid pig cried.

It's just that the news is lagging. If he hasn't received the news of Zeng Rou's death or conviction for a day, he should not dare to humiliate the Zeng family so urgently.

Mrs. Qi told the story again, and generally concluded that the Zeng family was down and out. Zeng Rou's niece, who was the daughter of her dead brother, had a beautiful face. Somehow, she was seen by the arrogant and domineering Prince Yu outside the customs. , Prince Yu told Zeng Rou's father that he wanted to take her as a concubine. The daughters of the Zeng family have not been concubines for several generations. Although the Zeng family is poor, the dignity of the ancestors is still there.

How could great father agree?

He rejected Lord Jade, but he never expected that Lord Jade would lead the guards of the palace to rob him. Zeng's father tried his best to protect his granddaughter, but how could the old, weak, sick and disabled in the Zeng family be able to stand up to Lord Yu?Ms. Zeng was also a violent person, she threw herself into the well and died. Zeng's father saw that Prince Yu had forced his granddaughter to death. Although his leg was broken by Prince Yu's men, he still went to the yamen outside the pass to sue Prince Yu.
Officials outside the pass colluded with Lord Yu, humiliated Zengfu severely, and beat Zengfu thirty boards for false accusations. After Zengfu returned home, he vomited blood and died. Zengrou's two uncles went to the Yamen to seek justice. , As a result, he was imprisoned by the adults of the yamen, and his life and death were uncertain.

There were no males, and Lord Yu came to the door even more arrogantly... One died, and there were several girls with fancy flowers, he just wanted to occupy the queen's niece!
Of the remaining young ladies in the Zeng family, only two were protected by a nunnery outside the customs, and the rest committed suicide in name festivals.

The female family members of the Zeng family couldn't bear the humiliation, so they agreed to commit suicide.

Thanks to the loyal servant who couldn't bear to watch the masters commit suicide, Zeng Rou had a chance to save them by replacing the prepared poison.

After hearing what had happened, Zeng Rou was so angry that she was trembling all over. Feudal society did not have the democracy and justice that civilized society could compare to, and there was no justice in the judiciary. I just feel the hatred engraved in the bone marrow.

"You go and ask this palace clearly, even if Prince Yu is a stupid pig, he should know who not to mess with!"

"According to the order."

The eunuch in charge and the guards turned pale with fright at the queen's eerie words, and hurried out to inquire about the news. The eunuch in charge knew that the emperor had given the queen an imperial decree, and outside the pass, the lives of all princes and nobles were in the hands of the queen.

Mrs. Qi wiped her tears, and she and the other female relatives were terrified by Zeng Rou who was as cold as ice, "Xiaorou... Empress Empress."

Zeng Rou forced a smile, "Mom, I'm fine."

She took a deep breath, facing this group of women who could only fight against the injustice with death, Zeng Rou felt sorry for their misfortune and mourned for them.

Suicide will not solve the problem at all.

In addition to guarding the people, another important task of the officials outside the customs is to monitor these princes nearby. It is said that it is impossible for officials to collude with Prince Yu.

No matter how poor the Zeng family was, it would be impossible for everyone to bully them if no one ordered them to do so.

Prince Yu is a stupid pig, it is not uncommon to be bribed by others, but officials outside the customs are also bribed... and they advance and retreat together with Prince Yu, then this matter is not easy, as long as the evidence of their collusion is dug out, Zeng Rou has enough The reason for killing their nine clans!

The blood debt must be paid with blood!
How could Zeng Rou let go of the person who set up the conspiracy behind him?

Even if the sky outside the pass is pierced and the capital is turned upside down, Zeng Rou will continue to make trouble!
Perhaps with the help of this matter, Zeng Rou can let the people of the world understand what is the mother and queen of the country, and what is the law and justice.

Of course, this is also Zeng Rou's battle of standing up.

After this battle, the group of people who want to fight the queen with golden fingers will understand that since the queen is the last boss, it is not so easy to overthrow.

The stricter Zeng Rou was to the guards and chief eunuchs, the more active they were in their investigations, especially the chief eunuch. Apart from serving the emperor, he also had an official position as the governor of the East Factory, commonly known as the factory official.

The eunuch did not have a supervisor of ceremonies like the Ming Dynasty, but there was Dongchang, which was known as the supervisor of all officials. There was no Jinyiwei, but there was a Zhenbei Fusi in Dongchang, where officials who made mistakes were interrogated.

Zeng Rou didn't think of these things until she was outside the pass.

Dongchang only has the right to investigate and monitor, but not the right to interrogate. The Zhenbei Fusi is independent and is managed by the emperor's cronies. Someone will be there to listen.

These systems were formulated by Taizu. Zeng Rou admired Taizu very much. In this world, Jinyiwei and Dongchang will not have exclusive power.

In order to get married to the empress, the chief eunuch used spies from the East Factory. After finding out the accurate information, the chief eunuch broke out in cold sweat... The black hand behind the scenes pointed directly at Concubine Xiao Shu's natal family!He never thought that Concubine Xiao Shu, who has always been low-key, honest, indifferent, and indisputable, would let her family do such a thing!

If Concubine Xiao Shu's natal family hadn't tipped off the news, and deliberately concealed the news that the queen was not deposed, even if Prince Yu was a stupid pig, he wouldn't dare to bully the queen's natal family.

A dog that bites does not bark.

The chief eunuch mourned silently for the beautiful, indifferent, low-key, and gentle Concubine Xiao Shu, which annoyed the empress. It seems that Concubine Xiao Shu is not having a good time.

"What? Haven't found out yet?"

"no……."

The chief eunuch was sweating from anxiety, but Zeng Rou was not in a hurry anymore, with a smile on his lips, staring at the teacup in his hand... The chief eunuch's shoulders slumped, and it was even more terrifying for the empress to calm down!
It's not that he concealed it for Concubine Xiao Shu, but if it was Concubine Xiao Shu, the emperor's harem would definitely be bloody.

"If you don't speak, I will think it's the emperor." Zeng Rou said to herself, "except for the emperor, there is no one else."

The chief eunuch's knees softened, why did he feel that even the emperor and the empress could take revenge?
"Your Majesty has misunderstood Your Majesty. Your Majesty has always valued Your Majesty."

"value?"

The eunuch in charge lowered his head, not daring to meet Zeng Rou's eyes, and said in a low voice: "According to the investigation by the East Factory banner, Lord Yu and the officials outside the customs have misbelieved the news of the abolished empress, and they thought that His Majesty would punish the empress." mother's family."

"Wrong belief? Think?" Zeng Rou smiled and said, "Continue talking, I would like to hear what other reasons you can give His Majesty."

"no no."

The chief eunuch hurriedly denied, "It's really not His Majesty, but... Concubine Shu."

"Concubine Shu? Concubine Xiao Shu!"

"Yes."

Zeng Rou took the secret report from the chief eunuch, glanced at it, and asked again: "Are you sure the news is accurate?"

"Yes."

"Concubine Xiao Shu, very good, fighting for favor..."

Zeng Rou sat down at the desk, pulled out the dagger she carried with her, made a cut on her wrist, dripped the blood into the cinnabar, the blood was redder than the cinnabar, and melted the cinnabar with the magic stone and blood, I rubbed the ink softly.

Meizi and the manager were too listening to the sound of grinding ink, they exuded cool air from their bones, the bones hurt very much, the empress was not grinding ink, she was grinding their bones.

Zeng Rou wrote a note to the emperor with a pen dipped in cinnabar, and attached the results of Dongchang's investigation with the note.

"I don't care what method you use, the book must be delivered to His Majesty within three days."

"According to the order."

The chief eunuch didn't dare to delay, he went out with the booklet in his hand, and if he stayed by the queen's side, he would be suffocated.

"Didn't you give Concubine Xiao Shu a chance to prepare by sending the booklet? She has been valued by His Majesty recently..." Mei Zi reminded Zeng Rou, "You are not in the capital, and there is no one in the capital. In case Concubine Xiao Shu pleads guilty , let His Majesty believe her, what should you do about your grievances?"
