Reborn I want to be a giant

Chapter 171 He will take us into the mountains

Emperor Chengqi, who had not slept all night, did not show fatigue in the morning court, and he was also very patient in the face of the imperial censor who verbally criticized the Zhang family and Prince Rui.Speaking of which, because of proposing that the whole country be mourned for the former empress, an old censor was killed, and Prince Rui's residence and the group of censors completely forged a rift.This time, they framed civilians without evidence, how could the censors let go of this great opportunity to join Zhao Yanran to death.

Emperor Chengqi knew exactly what kind of mentality they were in, so he ordered the Imperial City Guard and the Jingding Yamen to investigate together in court, and the case was directly reported to the Crown Prince, and the East Palace had full authority to handle it.The third prince, Zhao Yansui, made great contributions to this case, and got an important position in a state envoy's yamen, responsible for receiving the envoys of the four countries who are about to visit.Although this yamen belongs to the Ministry of Rites and the superior is Xu Jin, the beauty is that it is an important yamen for Dayue to communicate with foreign countries, and there is a lot of room for self-interest.

Emperor Chengqi's decision was regarded as a compromise in the eyes of the courtiers. Without the insistence of the censors, I am afraid that this matter would have to be lightly exposed again.It's just that many people are also worried about whether Emperor Chengqi did it on purpose, because at this juncture, the prince "falls and hurts".Moreover, Prince Rui is the same mother and brother of the crown prince, whether he will take sides or not, everyone is not sure.

In addition, the high-profile entry of the third prince may not be the plan of the Zhu family and Concubine Xian.I don't know if they will bet all their treasures on the Seventh Prince after today?
Everyone is very curious.

"Your Majesty, the Sixth Young Master didn't eat well or sleep well in prison, and he lost a lot of weight." Xu Ze complained to Emperor Chengqi after they left.

"Did I ask him to go and accompany him to jail?" I couldn't understand how Xu Ye could be a lover, and even more I couldn't understand why he didn't want the princess and so many noble girls in the capital, but he just liked a commoner who smelled of money.

Emperor Chengqi waved his hand impatiently, "Let him go, let him go." If he were to be locked up again, Xu Ze would tell him something was wrong.

And it's not appropriate, there have been public grievances outside, and everyone is panicking, fearing that one day they will be locked up for no reason.This is not the situation that Emperor Chengqi wants to see.

Xu Ze hummed, "If the emperor doesn't want to let go, then he won't let go."

"I've already achieved six supervisors, can you be more mature?" Emperor Chengqi was furious, and the pen in his hand flew directly towards the opponent's face.

Xu Ze dodged his head sideways, and said righteously: "The emperor likes Princess Rui, his daughter-in-law, and always wants to find a proper reason for her actions. I have no right to make irresponsible remarks. But as a senior official of Dali Temple, I really can't It is tolerated that some people use their power for personal gain and maliciously create unjust, false and wrong cases. I cannot tolerate the Law of Dayue being trampled on."

Emperor Chengqi clicked his tongue, turned his face away, "All right, all right, didn't you say let people go."

Xu Ze bowed, "Your Majesty is wise."

Feng Wenshi breathed a sigh of relief after he withdrew him from Cheng's house, but he was not without complaints. After learning that the child had never left the Prime Minister's mansion, he was so angry that he almost wanted to follow Prince Shen Rui and You Xiang's mansion.What do these people think of the Jingding Yamen? This is a naked public weapon for private use.

Cheng Han was going to pick up his sister immediately, and Cheng Fu just arrived home.When the little girl saw her haggard brother, her nose turned red and her mouth curled up, she rushed to hug him and started crying.

Seeing the two brothers and sisters like this, others were also moved.Xu Ye was moved, but he didn't forget that the little girl was still talking about her brother not caring about her before entering the door.Sure enough, she was acting like a baby.

Many people watched outside Cheng's house before, so the picture of the brother and sister reuniting after a long absence was seen by many people. Once passed on to ten, ten to hundreds, the Cheng family gained countless sympathies. Some people even wrote poems to insinuate Rui Wangfu and Zhangjia.All of a sudden, the situation of the two families became worse.

"I'm going out of town, it will take a few days, you wait for me to come back." Xu Ye received the news from Lou Shaojie.

"Is there any danger?" She remembered Xu Ye's experience of dealing with civil unrest in Dongqiao County when she was in Jinling, and she couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"When you meet me, it's someone else's danger."

Cheng Fu wanted to laugh, "Small?"

"Well, it's a small thing." Xu Ye also smiled back at her.

Cheng Fu sent him to the small gate, and she felt that it was useless to say these things early. Seeing her cramped appearance, Xu Ye suddenly felt reluctant, "Put more clothes, eat well, and sleep more."

As soon as Xu Ye left, Gu Yanya stepped into Cheng's door.He came this time mainly to visit her, and to inform the recent situation of the Gu family by the way.Cheng Fu also happened to want to know the Gu family's attitude towards Gu Changyu, so he gave a brief description of the current situation of the Xi family's daughters in prison.

Gu Yanya said she deserved it.

"Gu Changyu has no way out."

Aunt An will not visit the prison again, because she is immersed in the excitement of preparing to give birth to a son to grab the family property and the title of knighthood. Regardless of the life and death of the splashed water, Gu Changyu is equivalent to being abandoned by his biological parents.

Cheng Fu was surprised, "Is she pregnant?"

Gu Yanya sneered, "It's fake, but she believes it to be true."

Cheng Fu understood, and his understanding of this second elder brother deepened.

It seems that he is also good at trying to figure out people's hearts.Once he has identified another person's greatest shortcoming, he will do everything in his power to create an illusion of hopeful fulfillment for the other person.Once he believes it to be true, it will naturally become his murderous knife.

Now that Aunt An has private property and a son by her side, she must want more. I am afraid that the Gu family will never have peace.Cheng Fu didn't know if this counted as a wicked person's own torture.

What Gu Yanya didn't say was that after the news of Cheng Hanzhong's understanding of Yuan reached the capital, Mrs. Gu persuaded Gu Zheng to let Cheng Han recognize his ancestor and return to his clan. I don't deserve it, so I didn't mention her.

But in private, Mrs. Gu told the servants around her that Cheng Fu's money was Cheng Han's money, and when her brother returned to the Gu family, it meant that those properties also belonged to the Gu family.Besides, being a concubine doesn't take much dowry. After Cheng Han came back, she told him that she must take all the property into her own hands, and don't take advantage of outsiders.

After "arranging" the little brothers and sisters, Mrs. Gu thought of Gu Yanya, who had already had a bad relationship, and wondered how to restore their relationship.The people of An's family in the capital gave her an idea to give Duan Shiyi to Gu Yanya as a concubine, so that Duan's family, An's family and Gu's family were also tied together.

Gu Yanya didn't hesitate when she found out, and directly asked someone to poison Old Madam Gu.It is rumored that it is a drug for dumbness made by an old Lingnan poison fairy. Some pets in the house frequently bark and disturb the people. This drug is mixed with food and eaten for two days to make them dumb.

Mrs. Gu was weighed down, and she couldn't make a sound when she woke up from a nap, and her mouth and nose were bleeding from time to time.However, there are many famous doctors in Beijing, and she can already speak now, but the sequelae are obvious, and she feels uncomfortable after speaking a few more words, as if her lung duct has been blocked by someone.

Gu Yanya didn't stop there, he revealed the news to Duan Shiyi through other people's mouth, Duan Shiyi didn't want to be a concubine, and when he learned that Gu Yanya poisoned the old lady Gu with great fanfare, he immediately told Gu Yanya the truth. Granny, because of this, Granny Gu became seriously ill again, and she is still lying in bed.Duan Shiyi feels that the Gu family is no longer reliable, and now frequently writes to her parents, asking them to put pressure on Mrs. Gu.

These details were told by Gao Sheng to the Cheng brothers and sisters.

"Duan Shiyi came to me." Cheng Han is very busy every day, according to his style, he won't be as verbose as Gu Yanya.

Both Cheng Fu and Gao Sheng were a little surprised.

Cheng Han didn't want to mention it, Zhaohui looked at his master's face, and explained to the two of them, "I just gave birthday gifts for several years in one go, and said I would do it every year, but they were so strict that I never dared to give them. She spoke quickly, and asked why there was no Miss. She cried..." Then the embarrassment of the birthday ceremony passed inexplicably.

The little girl's eyes slowly shifted to Cheng Han's face, "You are not too old..."

Cheng Han squinted, "Is it itchy?"

The little girl shut up aggrievedly.

"It's better to avoid suspicion." Gao Sheng recalled that Duan Shiyi was also well-known in the aristocratic circle of the capital. Because of her smooth and docile personality, she hardly offended anyone, and her popularity was much better than that of the showy An Mingzhu.

If she wants to find a future for herself, whether she uses Cheng Han as a springboard, or she comes here for Cheng Han, it's not a good thing.If one is not very good, the Cheng family will have to make a fuss again.

Cheng Fu was convinced that Duan's poetic actions contained multiple layers of meaning.She probably doesn't want to go back to her hometown to marry a squire, but with the current situation of the Gu family, and no one will arrange the marriage for her, she can only rely on herself.And Mrs. Gu wanted to send her to be a concubine before, which completely chilled her heart.Various reasons contributed to her making this choice.

"Have you collected the things?" She asked Zhaohui.

"How can it be? The young master said that those items are cheap, they take up space in the warehouse, and they are out of order when displayed." Zhaohui glanced at Cheng Han cautiously.

Without him continuing to speak, Cheng Fu already knew how damaging these words were to a girl.And by the way, Cheng Han also blackmailed himself. It is estimated that it won't be long before rumors of Cheng Han disliking the poor and loving the rich, and being snobbish will flood the circle of noble women.

The little girl looked sad, "This family doesn't have a decent reputation."

She has been criticized every day for engaging in business, Xu Ye's playboy's reputation has been wiped out after Ning Ying was hit, and now the little brother has also got the impression of being vain and mean.

Cheng Han laughed at her, "You look like an old woman now."

Then there was a long-lost sound of smashing and smashing in the big study.Luo Xing, who was sitting in a daze on the porch outside, moved to Jin Xiuniang's side, grabbed a ball of cotton from the sewing basket and stuffed it into his ears, Jin Xiuniang was too late to snatch it.

****
This year's snow came early, when Xu Ye found Lou Shaojie, it happened that the mountains in the suburbs of Beijing were covered by heavy snow, and the traces on the ground were completely covered.Fortunately, the people in Dali Temple have basically judged the direction, so it is not a waste of time.It's just that time has dragged on for a while, and the Zhang family member who was killed has not returned to the city for a long time. The Zhang family already knew that there was an accident and acted more cautiously.

"...their stewards go out of the city every three days to go to Zhuangzi to share work. There is a small Zhuangzi near Daying on the outskirts of Beijing that has been abandoned for many years. The steward hardly goes there on weekdays. But the day before yesterday, we found that people came out of Dazhuangzi and went straight there. I live in Xiaozhuangzi."

"They have people in Daying on the outskirts of Beijing, and now they rely on the people inside to spread the letter."

Xu Ye asked, "Where is it?"

"It has been controlled, and he will take us into the mountain." The man from Dali Temple replied.

Xu Ye understood the general process and did not suggest that they set off immediately.Firstly, the mountain is now covered by heavy snow, making it difficult to identify the direction, and secondly, it is unknown how many people there are in the Zhang family's stronghold.He asked Lou Shaoji to go back to the city and ask for soldiers and horses from the camp in the suburbs of Beijing. Both spies and archers should be equipped, and it is best to appoint a thousand household chief named Gu Kao.When Lou Shaojie heard Gu Kao's name, he was amazed that Xu Ye deserved to be Xu Ze's son.
