Reborn I want to be a giant

Chapter 161 There is no one who can fight

Emperor Chengqi looked at the autumn hunting list drawn up by Concubine Zhu Xian, and he had no doubts, so he asked them to follow the arrangement.Xu Ze poked his head and saw that his name was indeed on it, and his whole face collapsed.

"If you don't shake your body, you can survive for a few years." Emperor Chengqi despised it.

"The minister has exercises every day."

"Since you have practiced, what can you do if you go hunting?" The expression seemed to be boiling oil on a mountain of knives.

Xu Ze slowly uttered a word, "Lazy."

A palace official came in, "Your Majesty, Feng Wenshi of the Jingding Yamen has an urgent case."

……

People gathered outside the gate of Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion, and the common people were talking about it. At this time, the officials of the Jingding Yamen blocked all the entrances and exits. It was not an ordinary case at first sight.

Not long after, all the masters in the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion were brought out and sent to the carriage prepared by Jingding Yamen.

Aunt An heard that Weiyuanhou's mansion committed a major crime, Gu Changyu was taken to the yamen, and immediately ran to the outer study to find Gu Zheng, but because of Gu Changxi's tragic death, Gu Zheng was still sick, and he didn't even want to go home. The concubine moved directly to the old Liang Guogong's mansion to recuperate in another hospital outside the mansion, saying that she didn't see anyone.

Aunt An was angry and anxious, so she had to go to Xiangning Courtyard to find old lady Gu for a solution.The room leak happened to be raining all night, and Mrs. Gu's cash box was pried away. A total of 8 taels of silver notes and a drawer of precious jewelry were gone.

Not only that, Duan Shiyi also said that she lost the flowers given by the Duan family, which she saved for the dowry.

The old lady Gu sent people to search the whole house, and found that An Mingzhu and her close maid, Caiqin, were missing, and the concierge said that the pair of master and servant left the house before dawn, saying that they were going to the outer city to find a name to heal their faces.Everyone knew about An Mingzhu's situation, so they let her go without any doubt.

Aunt An looked at Mrs. Gu's attitude, and obviously put money more important than her granddaughter's life, and her heart was utterly chilled.

Zhou Fangyan was the only one left at home who could help. However, when Zhou Fangyan learned of the accident in the Marquis of Weiyuan, she made a decisive decision and left the city early with her servants. She said she had a nightmare and was flustered and out of breath. I stayed in the temple for a few days and prayed for the safety of my husband who was far away in Jinchengguan.

No one can find anything wrong with this reason, but everyone knows that they are hiding from the blood-sucking leeches of the Gu family.

"The Xi family will peel off their skin even if they don't die." Cheng Fu leaned against the wooden fence and threw fish feed into the pond, feeling good.

The Cheng family's house has been remodeled with great thought, and there are many places where you can relax and pass the time.She just hoped that she would get married in the future and not be able to live here, and her little brother wouldn't be too boring by himself.

"If you touch the emperor's scales, you will lose your title." Xu Ye held up an umbrella for her to shade her.

In order to keep the title, the Xi family has worked hard since the previous generation of Marquis Weiyuan.It's a pity that doing a lot of good and bad things has no effect, so it is the right way to rely on Liang Guogong's mansion and send Xi Hengyun to seek military merit.

I don't want to go to the battlefield, I don't want to be stationed at the border, I just want to stay in the capital to be pampered, but the merits are not enough, what should I do?
From the previous generation of Marquis Weiyuan, the Xi family has been bribing those who hold military power in the court.Recently, the Jingding yamen cracked a case of human trafficking, and the underserved man Yazi revealed his secrets.

His family's ancestors did this kind of business, abducting children from impoverished and uncivilized places in Dayue to the capital, and selling ordinary forged identity certificates to be used as slaves. small.Among the customers of their family is Weiyuan Hou Mansion.

It is said that buying people is not illegal, but what to do when buying so many people is intriguing.

Feng Wenshi is still hesitating whether to investigate further, because with his years of experience in handling cases, there are still a lot of tricks behind this kind of case, and the emperor's reward will only be a lot more if he solves it.

Just when he was hesitating, several women held hands and walked through the crowd to beat drums outside the Jingding Yamen to express their grievances.

They are very special, good-looking, well-dressed but not like people with dignity.The people were attracted by their resolute expressions, and they walked side by side to the gate of the government holding hands. This behavior is quite unusual.

Since someone complained of grievances, Feng Wenshi will naturally be promoted.Coincidentally, the life experiences of these women are similar and pitiful. They all said that they were abducted to the capital when they were young, trained with sticks until they were fourteen or fifteen years old, and then sold to high-ranking officials and nobles. dignitaries.

They now have only one request, to restore the body of a good citizen and severely punish the wicked.Feng Wenshi found that their oral experience matched the Renya case, so he followed the clues and brought them out of the Weiyuan Hou Mansion...

"The case has been transferred to Dali Temple. If the involvement is extensive, the emperor will probably only let the Marquis of Weiyuan take the responsibility." When the water is clear, there will be no fish. The emperor is good at grasping the scale of punishment.

"After being busy for two generations, I still fetch water from a bamboo basket." Now even if Xi Hengyun has military merits, it will not help.

The little girl squeezed the space between her eyebrows. She has been thinking a little too much lately, which consumes a lot of energy, "This matter is not over yet."

Xu Ye handed the umbrella to the maid next to her, and helped her rub her head, "Cut the weeds and root out, so that we will never suffer from future troubles?"

The little girl giggled, "I can't control the intensity."

How Emperor Chengqi finally came to a conclusion was one thing. It was Dali Temple's duty to turn the case upside down, and that's why Gu Changyu's scandals in the major gambling houses and flower houses were also investigated to the end.

"There is no one who can fight." The person Gao Sheng placed in Gu's house said that Aunt An was begging for help to save her daughter, but neither Gu Zheng nor Mrs. Gu had any intention of doing anything.

Gu Zheng was immersed in the tragic death of his eldest daughter, and Mrs. Gu was distressed by her stolen money.After Zhou Fangyan came back from the outer city, she went straight back to her mother's house, and she hasn't returned to the Duke's mansion until now.Aunt An's heart was ashamed, but she didn't want to accept her fate.

Xu Ye and Gao Sheng didn't participate in this matter, it was all Cheng Han's people, so Gao Sheng only found it ridiculous when he learned that Gu Changyu was finished so soon.

"I think so too." Gu Changxi and Gu Changyu, she really overestimated these two people.

Gao Sheng glanced at her, and said quietly: "Could you also overestimate Zhang Wanqing?"

Cheng Fu sighed, "She must be smarter and know how to use her own advantages." Prince Rui's love is heavy, and he gave birth to a grandson who is very much in Emperor Chengqi's favor.

However, in Cheng Fu's view, Zhang Wanqing's confidence mainly comes from Zhang Xiangye.

Zhang Wanqing's original decision made Zhang Xiangye angry, shameless and contradicted.But blood is thicker than water, and Zhang Wanqing did gain a firm foothold in the royal family by herself and gave birth to a grandson.The right minister who has been in the court for a few years suddenly became unwilling, so why can't the Zhang family go to the next level...Ambition has been raised like this.

In fact, the Zhang family still has a way out, but it is a pity that they chose to go to the dark one way, so the ending will not be good.

Even without the brothers and sisters of the Cheng family, the Crown Prince and the Seventh Prince would not make it easy for them.To put it bluntly, the road to imperial power is built of white bones, and there is only room for one person in that position.

Gao Sheng sneered, "I'm sure that Prince Rui is easy to deceive." The Ning family is like this, and the Zhang family is also like this, it's no wonder that the Crown Prince looks down on this younger brother more and more.

Suddenly remembering his important business today, Gao Sheng took out a letter from his cuff and handed it to her, "Look at this."

Cheng Fu accepted the letter, and she recognized the handwriting on it as Chen Mengling's, and it was addressed to Cheng Han who was far away in Jinling.

"There are many private gambling houses in the outer city, and Luo Tingfeng owes money to several of them. The Yuyang county lord filled in his own property and the Chen family's subsidies. The Chen family really doesn't care about her life now." Gao Sheng felt that Gu People like Zheng and Chen Mengling are not worthy of having filial children.

Cheng Fu opened the letter and looked it over quickly. There was no greeting, care, politeness, or even a trace of embarrassment on it. He just asked for money, and he was confident, 10 taels of cash and [-]% of the annual profit of Chengjia Commercial Bank.

She couldn't help but think of the time when Chen Mengling and Li were about to move out of the Duke's Mansion. Although they didn't feel guilty about the two of them, they at least thought that it was not easy for them to survive alone, so they kept the dowry and reminded them of the importance of having money.

At that time, she felt that this biological mother had a normal mind and a little humanity.

Throwing the letter into the brazier, "My brother is very busy, so don't bother him if you are waiting."

Gao Sheng already knew that she would make this decision, "You really have to concentrate on studying."

……

Aunt An spent a lot of money to clear up the relationship, and finally she was able to enter the prison to see her daughter.When she saw Gu Changyu, who was disheveled and blood-stained, she almost thought that she had made a mistake.This couldn't be her high-spirited daughter who became the young mistress of the Hou Mansion.

"How can you use lynching?" Aunt An held Gu Changyu's hand and turned around to scold the jailer.

"Oh, lynching? What kind of place is this, think about it." The jailer stood beside him holding his saber, looking at their mother and daughter with contempt.

"I've lost my wealth, what else do I want to do, and I didn't kill people and set fires. It's just an exile." Aunt An didn't have much time to read and read before. Recently, in order to know if Gu Changyu has a way to survive, she specially invited someone to tell her about Da Yue. law.

The jailer snorted, and said with a half-smile, "Do you think we beat her like this? Ha, she heard that she was going to be tortured, so she resorted to everything." Those running water instruments of torture hung coldly on the wall, useless .

Aunt An was in a hurry, "Then how did she get hurt like this?" Because it was the Marquis, when the Jingding Yamen arrested people, they were put in a carriage, and they were not directly dragged through the streets, so Gu Changyu's injury was not caused on the road.

The jailer raised his chin, signaling the other people in the cell who were huddled in the corner.

Another jailer came over and took a look inside, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Marquis Weiyuan beat her daughter-in-law very cruelly. If you don't know, why is there such a bloody feud? If it weren't for the brothers, your daughter would have been beaten to death long ago. "

Aunt An looked in disbelief at a group of female family members who were sitting in the corner and looked coldly at their mother and daughter. One of them was indeed Mrs. Weiyuanhou.

"Mother...Mother, I'm afraid that I want to go out. You can find a way. You can do whatever you want. I don't want to stay here." Gu Changyu's body trembled like a sieve, and he clenched Aunt An's hand tightly with both hands, revealing every word. Great panic and exhaustion.

Aunt An hated it when she mentioned this, "You, a concubine, are still in the eyes of your father and grandmother."

Gu Zheng has no heart, Gu Changyu is his own daughter no matter what, she has been obedient and filial since she was a child, many times better than Gu Changxi, a troublemaker.Aunt An thought that in the eyes of the other party, even if they were not as good as the Gu Yanyun brothers and sisters, they were at least special than other children.But until now when Gu Changyu's accident happened, Gu Zheng remained indifferent, completely thinking that he didn't have this daughter. What's even more chilling is that after An Mingzhu stole the money and left, Gu Zheng even scolded them in front of Mrs. Gu that An's family didn't have a good thing .

If An Shengmao and Gu Changxi hadn't had an affair, and An Mingzhu insisted on exposing them, he wouldn't have sent Gu Changxi out of the city, and wouldn't have provoked Zhu Ting to make Gu Changxi die tragically... Gu Zheng blamed all these faults on the An family, and he even Forgot that the biological mother of Gu Yanyun and Gu Changxi was also the An family's daughter.

"Zhou Fangyan won't care about your life or my life." Aunt An was very desperate.

Gu Changyu cried softly, "Mother, there is one more person who can try."
