Reborn I want to be a giant

Chapter 172

In the case of the Spring Banquet that year, three court ladies were involved. Among them, the little court lady who was tricked into inviting Gu Changyan to the banquet was Gu Kao's own sister, Gu Lan.After the incident, Gu Lan was almost killed, but now she has disappeared, and only Gu Kao knows where she went.

Xu Ye has no official status, but he often assisted Xu Ze in handling cases from the sidelines in the past, so the old acquaintances in Dali Temple all acquiesced that he was his own.His suggestion was reasonable, and everyone had no objections, so the troops were divided into two groups immediately, Lou Shaojie went back to the city to ask for orders, and Xu Ye and Huang Que tried to enter the mountain with hostages.

Right Xiangfu

Since the child was found in Mrs. Zhang's house, all officials in the Zhang family were banned.After the case of the Imperial City Guard was finalized and the crown prince gave his final instructions, the case would be considered over.Mrs. Zhang never thought that she would encounter such a strange event one day.

After Prince Rui and his wife went to the autumn hunt, Xiao Shizi has been taken care of by her at the Zhang family.Xiao Shizi is well-behaved and sensible, and it is very worry-free to bring.There happened to be a visitor at home that day, so she went to deal with it for half a day, and the child disappeared in just such a short time.

Not only was she surprised, but the rest of the Zhang family were equally astonished.Prince Rui's son is different from other princes, he deserves Emperor Qi's favor the most, so his family naturally pays more attention to him.No matter when and where, there are more than 20 servants and guards in total. Even if they are taking a nap, there is a wet nurse and maid beside them who are not distracted.

After Mrs. Zhang went to a social event that day, the big guy played hide-and-seek with the child as usual, and the child disappeared just like that.

After the housekeeper learned about it, he immediately sealed off the mansion and informed Mrs. Zhang at the same time.The Zhang family searched for a whole day but found nothing. The old lady, who had been indifferent for a long time, sat down in person, including the masters, and the Zhang family was interrogated one by one.

The servants who sweep the door and go in and out usually never see the master at all, so naturally they don't know what the little prince looks like.After learning that a child had been lost at home, someone said that they had seen a plainly dressed fat woman go out with a child in her arms. She was about the same age as Xiao Shizi, but her clothes were very ordinary. The child was not crying and was playing with something Locking the head, I kept asking how to open it with a slurred speech... They were not sure if it was Xiao Shizi, but they just described what they saw carefully.

Mrs. Zhang did not delay, and immediately checked the entry and exit register of the Sansaomen. Sure enough, she found that someone had used someone else's name card to enter and exit, and the child did not need to register, which also took advantage of the loophole.In this way, it is almost certain that Prince Rui's son will be carried away.

The Zhang family dispatched a large number of people to search secretly, and Prince Rui's residence also dispatched soldiers.Zhang Xiangye also checked the entry and exit records of the city gate, Feng Wenshi was sure that no child who looked like Prince Rui's son entered or exited.Unwilling to give up, Zhang Xiangye asked the Jingding Yamen to file a case, and at the same time ordered people to rush to the palace to inform Prince Rui and his wife.

After that, Princess Rui insisted that Cheng Fu was the one who did it, so Cheng Fu was imprisoned, Cheng Han was restrained, and Lianghexuan and Cheng's business were searched to the bottom.As time went by, the Zhang family and Prince Rui's Mansion had nothing to gain from the Cheng family brothers and sisters, and the public opinion outside became more and more biased towards the Cheng family.

Both families were under tremendous pressure. Although Zhang Xiangye was dissatisfied with Zhang Wanqing, Cheng Fu was the most likely to do such a thing no matter how he looked at it.

Mrs. Zhang has sent killers to Jinling many times over the years, and the enmity between the Zhang family and the Cheng family brothers and sisters has long been on the surface.

And this pair of brothers and sisters are cunning and cunning, not only did they not disappear under the Zhang family's many tricks, but they became more and more active, no wonder Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Wanqing had trouble sleeping and eating.And with their careful management, the Cheng family became more and more powerful. Mr. Zhang knew very well that the brothers and sisters were preparing for revenge, and the two sides would be in a life-or-death situation in the future.

Now that the Zhang family and Prince Rui's residence have long been integrated, it is meaningless to push Zhang Wanqing out.Therefore, regardless of whether Cheng Fu took away Prince Rui's son or not, using the emperor's hand to get rid of their brother and sister, for the Zhang family and Prince Rui's residence, it was regarded as a solution to a future problem.

The Zhang family advocated torture to extract a confession. Although the prince had an ambiguous attitude, at least he did not object. He only emphasized that he should bear the consequences himself.However, something went wrong on Zhao Yanran's side, and he hesitated, so that Cheng Fu lived in prison with delicious food and drink.

And then Xu Ye rushed back to the capital, went to accompany Cheng Fu with great fanfare, and died in the prison, which was ridiculous.But neither Emperor Chengqi nor the crown prince drove him out.His Majesty the emperor may not like Cheng Fu, but the Xu family is much closer to him than the Zhang family.

Master Zhang had to admit that the Zhang family missed this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The memorials of impeachment piled up like snowflakes in the imperial study. There were so many children in the Zhang family who had entered the officialdom, and the children had not been found for a long time. The whole family was under great pressure.

Seeing that the brothers and sisters of the Cheng family were about to regain their freedom, Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Wanqing decided to use all their strength to get rid of the brothers and sisters regardless of the cost.Zhang Xiangye only felt that his eyes were covered with a thick layer of gray fog, he couldn't see his future clearly, and was extremely irritable.

It was Zhao Yansui, the third prince who made it all over, who no one cared about.

He suddenly stood up and suggested that Emperor Chengqi search the Zhang family and Prince Rui's residence.Seeing the imperial city guard rushing into the house, Mr. Zhang's head was hit hard by a sap, and he had a very strong feeling of bad premonition.And before he had time to figure out the pros and cons of this, the deputy commander of the imperial city guard found the innocent little son lying on the bed in Mrs. Zhang's room.

There are small toys such as rattles, cloth tigers, and locks on the bed. The child is wearing comfortable clothes, and the longevity lock and the bell ring on the foot are still there.It's like being coaxed to sleep after a day of playing around.

Everyone in the Zhang family was dumbfounded, but there was nothing they could do, the facts were in front of them.The Deputy Commander of the Imperial City Guard found out, and he will not favor any side, and will only report the truth.

Zhang Wanqing hugged the child and asked where he had been these days. The child said in a daze that he was looking for his father and mother, but he would not come up with any further questions.And Huangchengwei also found the woman who went out from the Sasao door with the child in her arms that day. She was a poor branch of Zhang's family who didn't come and go often. Life at home was difficult and she wanted to come to Zhang's family to find work.When you go in, you go through the chariot door, and when you go out, the mother in charge said that the eldest lady has guests coming in through the chariot door, and told her not to embarrass her relatives.She had to walk and sweep the door, but because someone led the way at the time, she was not listed in the entry and exit register. For some reason, she was mistaken for the person who kidnapped Xiao Shizi.

The Imperial City Guard also found out the person who led the way for their mother and child at that time, and asked the servants who worked at the sweeping gate to recognize them, and there was no problem in the end.

"The person who ran to Qiuhun and reported that Xiao Shizi disappeared was from the Zhang family, and the person who pointed Cheng Fu as the kidnapper was also from your Zhang family. Now the son is found in Zhang's house... Right minister, I dare to ask, you What exactly do you want to do? Have your Zhang family ever put the emperor, the law of Da Yue, and the people of the world in their eyes?" Zhu's family has people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and those old officials who are ruthless can kill people.

The members of the Zhang family and Prince Rui were all blocked and speechless.

But this matter will not be as good as before. The people of the Imperial City Guard were extremely patient, and recorded the statements and whereabouts of everyone in the Zhang family these days one by one, sealed them in a book, and placed them in the support hall of the East Palace.

"If we hadn't been so sure at the beginning, we didn't have to imprison him, but now a misunderstanding can be resolved. Now it's all right, let alone the people in the capital, the people in Da Viet think that we personally planned this frame-up. "Zhang Xiangsen punched the table heavily, and the tea splashed.

Ever since her son was found in her mother's house, Zhang Wanqing has been in a state of intense unease.But at this moment, she still thinks that her judgment is correct, "Their brothers and sisters are very scheming, and our whole family has been put together. Grandfather, father, we can't just let them go..."

Zhang Xiangsen is not very old, but in the past few years, he has to study and learn about family affairs, so he has aged a lot.He didn't want to break up the past with Zhang Wanqing, anyway, it's already like this, how to recover the disadvantage is the most important thing.

"In my opinion, my brother-in-law and sister should take their children to plead guilty to His Majesty, admit to impulsive judgment mistakes, and are willing to do their best to make up for the brothers and sisters of the Cheng family. As for other crimes, don't admit to them." Even if Mrs. Zhang sent someone to assassinate Cheng Fu , this matter has not been put on the table, so naturally there is no need to dig a hole for yourself.

But Zhang Wanqing couldn't agree, and was even surprised that her younger brother would make such a suggestion, "Are you crazy? You want me to apologize to that lowly maid? Do you know what she did to me back then?"

Zhang Xiangsen interrupted her sternly, "I advise you to forget about what happened back then, otherwise people will really get to the bottom of it, and your verbal addiction will be your arrow."

Zhang Xiangsen gritted his teeth. Does this elder sister think others are stupid? Outsiders may not know it, but no one in the Zhang family now knows that the disputes during the Spring Banquet were tricky.She was ashamed to think of herself as a victim.

Zhang Wanqing was surprised, "You..."

"Don't say a few words." Master Zhang sighed.

Zhao Yanran said wearily, "Just do as he said."

"My lord, do you want me to make an apology?" Zhang Wanqing's eyes widened, thinking she had heard it wrong.

The husband who pampered herself to be lawless, and the husband who has always been guilty of what happened to her all the time, the recent changes made her uneasy.

"If you don't want to, I'll go." Although there is no proof, Zhao Yanran is not a fool, he knows that all of this has something to do with Cheng Fu.

Thinking that the other party just temporarily brought the child to a place where no one would notice, he made the Zhang family and Prince Rui's mansion look ugly, and at the same time lost the hearts of the emperor and the people, he had to admire such means.

Not only Zhang Wanqing, including Zhang Xiangsen, were surprised by Prince Rui's reaction, only Zhang Xiangye, he had a vague guess that his grandson-in-law might have known the truth back then.

Now both of them are on the cusp of the storm, and they don't communicate as frequently as in the past, and they don't know how much trouble will be caused if it spreads out.Zhao Yanran glanced at his son who was playing outside, and said to everyone in the Zhang family: "I just hope he grows up safely and smoothly." After speaking, he strode out and picked up his son.

Before Zhang Wanqing could turn her head around, Master Zhang walked up to her and said in a deep voice, "It's too late, you can do it yourself." If Zhao Yanran had understood the truth back then, then he hasn't had an attack so far, which means that he still has some affection for his granddaughter .
