The general will eat grass

"What did you say, say it again!" Zhao Yuansong came out from behind Feng Jingde, stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Yuanwang's lapel and said angrily, "Who do you say is disloyal or filial?"

As soon as Zhao Yuanji heard that his younger brother was speaking without thinking again, he immediately stood up to stop him. His weak body swayed because he stood up too fast. The people of Beixuan are not persecuted by the Huns, they are our great heroes. You have such a bad mouth, you can’t tell the truth!" He snatched Zhao Yuanwang from Zhao Yuansong, pushed him to the front of the hall, and pulled him together Kneeling in front of Zhao Zongqi, "Sixth Uncle, Yuan Wang uttered lies, please punish him, and my godbrother has nothing to do, so please also plead guilty."

Zhao Zongqi's heart followed suit, civil servants talked about integrity, military commanders talked about loyalty to the emperor, Zhao Yuanwang's words hit people's hearts straight.If people pursue him, he can be punished for slandering the court officials, and he will be imprisoned if he is mild, and his family will be implicated if he is serious.

Zhao Yuanwang spoke quickly, but he was very smart, and he knew that he had made a big mistake after he finished speaking.He kowtowed to the patriarch first, then got up and walked to Feng Jingde, bowed deeply, "The boy is reckless, he said something wrong, I hope the general will forgive him."

Feng Jingde was not angry, because he had never heard of the name Zhao Yuanwang when the Zhao Clan in Wuyang was destroyed in the previous life, he must have survived and never participated in the affairs of the Marquis of Changle.

Feng Jingde waved him to get up, and looked at Changlehou: "Changlehou, it's getting late, you'd better have a quick trial, about the people in the family being drugged."

Changle Hou clenched his fists, and lowered his tone, "Come on, let's sit down." Having said so much in a hurry, the dominant power went to the other party, and Chang Lehou couldn't help it, so he had to formally interrogate Dongping.

Dongping was injured, and the corner of his thin clothes was stained with blood. He trembled, and repeated his previous confession, blaming Zhao Yuansong for all his faults, saying that he was responsible for everything.

Zhao Yuansong sneered: "Dongping, I have already demoted you to a second-class servant?" After he nodded, Zhao Yuansong continued: "Second-class servants cannot enter the main house without the permission of the master. Why did you go in this afternoon? ?”

"Young master, you ordered the younger one to invite the young master to come over, that's why the younger one entered the main house."

"Oh, when did I tell you?"

"Probably the next moment."

"It's not a moment, are you sure?"

Dong Ping had already exchanged good words with Ling Dang, and Hao nodded without hesitation, but Zhao Yuanji and Zhao Yuanwang looked surprised.

Zhao Yuansong looked at Zhao Yuanji and the two: "If I remember correctly, I was helping cousin Yuanji back to the guest room with cousin Yuanwang."

"This, maybe I misremembered the time, it was three quarters before the end of the day, yes it was three quarters." He didn't go to the Chenxiang Pavilion in the front yard, and he didn't know Zhao Yuansong's whereabouts. At this moment, he realized something was wrong and immediately changed his words.

"It's three quarters before the hour, so I don't know when the cousins ​​of the Guo family came to Zizhu Courtyard?"

The Guo family members were in awe, pointing at Dongping, only Guo Shilin said forcefully: "He misremembered the time, you don't have to keep grasping this, the medicine is always you who prescribed it, don't make excuses anymore."

Zhao Yuansong raised the corners of his mouth: "Cousin Guo can't talk nonsense. Apart from him, who else can prove that I gave the medicine? However, I have doubts. Look, you, me and cousin Yuanji have all been hit. Medicine, then the only place we stay together is Chenxiang Pavilion, and we drank a jug of wine together. If I remember correctly, the jug of wine is on the small table in front of you, cousin of the Guo family, right?"

"Really? I don't remember." Guo Shilin avoided Zhao Yuansong's gaze.

The doubts are really too obvious, as long as you investigate carefully, you will always find the real suspect, but Chang Lehou and Zhao Zongqi never want to investigate further, their attitude makes some people feel that they can operate secretly.

The servants act according to their facial expressions, and if the master does not investigate carefully, they will not speak up.In that environment, whether intentional or not, everyone is silent together, and some servants will take advantage of this to stand in line, spread rumors and lie with all means, and even if it is not a fact, it will become a fact.This kind of thing in the big family is far more serious than the isolation of the students. The students still have parents, and they can go home, but as a member of the big family, where can he hide?

This is also where the third master concubine feels powerless in the Hou's mansion, even though he is clearly the master.

"Oh, I don't remember!" Zhao Yuansong's tone was full of distrust, and he searched the faces of the two senior elders, and found that their expressions finally showed embarrassment.

The two brothers Zhao Yuanji and Zhao Yuanwang were even more furious. "Brother Guo, what's going on?" Zhao Yuanwang spoke first, ignoring his elders.If all this had nothing to do with Zhao Yuansong, wouldn't he have wronged a good man!

"How do I know, this matter has nothing to do with me, and I am also a victim." Guo Shilin stepped back a few steps, dodging his eyes.

There was an exclamation at the entrance of the main hall, the curtain was lifted, and Gondo and Xiao Wu put the bell in.She was wearing a cotton padded jacket, her eyes were red and swollen, and her hair was disheveled. She didn't look injured, just overly frightened.

Feng Jingde asked someone to throw the bell beside Dongping, "I have already captured this escaped slave. If you have any questions, please ask Marquis Changle."

Mrs. Hou, sitting at the lower head of Changle Hou, leaned forward nervously. She glared at Bell fiercely and said, "Ling Dang, Lanzhi has been worried about you. Where did you go this afternoon?"

Ling Dang raised her head slowly, and took a deep look at Mrs. Hou. After this look, her spirit faded away, and only a stunned expression remained on her face, "Returning to Mrs., this afternoon, this servant will send the fourth young master to release under the order of the second young lady." Wine and tea."

Madam Hou breathed a sigh of relief, her statement was consistent with that given by Zhao Lanzhi.Zhao Lanzhi said that Zhao Yuansong spit out wine in Chenxiang Pavilion, so he sent Bell to visit his brother.With so many people present, her daughter's reputation is very important. Fortunately, Ling Dang is a witty girl who didn't talk nonsense.Madam Hou relaxed her body, held the handkerchief and pressed the corners of her mouth...

"When the servant delivered the hangover tea, the fourth young master was not in the Zizhu courtyard, so the servant lit the acacia incense in the fourth young master's room as the young lady ordered."

"What did you say!" The corners of Madam Hou's mouth drooped instantly, she patted the armrest of the chair and shouted: "Bing Dang, think it over before you say it, what did Miss tell you?"

"Order the servants to prescribe medicine to the fourth young master, and then seduce the fourth young master. After the matter is completed, the fourth young master will no longer be able to marry into Dingguo Duke's mansion."

"Nonsense, it's nonsense, come and drag this vicious little maid down." Madam Hou lost her nobility and elegance, stood up and shouted.

"How does madam know that this maid is telling lies, but this boy is telling the truth?" Feng Jingde asked coldly, his eyes seemed to turn into sharp knives, scraping every inch of Dongping's skin.

Madam Hou clenched her handkerchief tightly and fell silent.Dongping's forehead touched the ground, and he curled up into a ball.

"Marquis Changle, as the leader of the central government, you can't tell who is telling the truth and who is telling the lie?"

Yes, no one can understand such a clumsy lie.

The wedding is coming soon, Chang Lehou didn't expect Feng Jingde to come here at this time, he had thought too well before, and with a sharp knife, the matter was settled, and they happened to break away from Dingguo's mansion.

Thinking of what he had done, people had seen his true thoughts, Chang Lehou no longer concealed it, stood up and said respectfully to Feng: "General Feng, let's move to the study to talk in detail."

Feng Jingde nodded, and dragged Zhao Yuansong along.

Zhao Shoucheng, who had been listening in, returned to the guest house and told his wife this incident as a joke, "You didn't see that Mrs. Hou's face was distorted by anger at that time. Hahaha. This Miss Zhao is really vicious, framed My own brother, I don't know what she is planning?"

After hearing this, Aunt Fat Tang didn't laugh, she just jumped up and twisted her husband's ears, "Oh, you're having fun! What's she doing for it? It's not because she's jealous of her younger brother's good marriage. You men are big-hearted, and you can't even think about it. Come out. The daughter of the Hou Mansion, who is so uneducated, will not embarrass our Wuyang Zhao family if you say it. No, you have to go to the patriarch to talk about it."

"Hey, don't push me, talk to the patriarch, what are you talking about?"

"Zhao Shoucheng, Zhao Shoucheng, your head was really kicked by a donkey. Think about it, such a big matter, and Dingguo's mansion is involved, can you not be talked about? There are two unmarried girls in our family. Day is living in the Hou Mansion again, Zhao Lanzhi's scandal will not affect our girl? Which good family do you want her to marry by then?"

"Yes, yes. This is not about our family, but about the Zhao family in Wuyang. We have to go to the patriarch."

Zhao Lanzhi's Mulan Courtyard

Madam Hou dismissed all the maids and women serving in the house, closed the door, turned around and slapped Zhao Lanzhi across the face. "Your father told you 'Fengming Chaoyang', why don't you obediently wait to get married, what are you doing with so many things?"

Zhao Lanzhi didn't expect her mother to beat her, tears fell instantly, and she yelled unwillingly: "Why is he, what kind of serious young master is he? Everything he has today belongs to the third brother."

Hearing her mention of her son, Mrs. Hou's heart also softened, and she hugged Zhao Lanzhi into her arms with red eyes, "Aniang knows that you are doing it for Song'er's good, and also know your thoughts. But your father has already arranged this matter." Well, if you do this, it will only affect your father's plan. He doesn't like disobedient children!"

"Aunt~"

"Don't be disobedient! Your father chose Prince Pingnan's son for you. His family background and knowledge match you. I heard that he is a strong man, and he has no real wife so far."

"I don't want to leave Kyoto."

"You! Don't you understand the meaning of 'Fengming Chaoyang'? So what if you leave, you will come back one day."

She understands, and understands that her parents have the final say on her marriage.Because of this, she also wants to work hard for what she wants. "Aniang, you also told the elder sister this, right?"

"You don't know your eldest sister's temperament yet, what can we expect from her! Well, be obedient, and apologize to your father tomorrow, and then you should stay at home obediently, don't go anywhere, and wait for news from King Pingnan .”

No one knew what Changlehou and Feng Jingde talked about, only that Dongping and Lingdang were both killed that night.

When Dongping was tied up on the bench, he shouted and no one came to rescue him.On the other hand, the bell was very quiet, as the board fell, she suppressed her pain in her mouth.

The pain spread all over his body, Dongping's consciousness was dizzy, and he had no feeling in his lower back at all, but the scene of seeing the fourth young master for the first time appeared in front of his eyes.It was a dilapidated yard deep in the back house, and the roof was full of weeds. When the butler pushed open the heavy courtyard door, he saw a beautiful child squatting at the base of the wall to watch the ants.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, his pure black grape eyes looked over, filled with curiosity and joy. "Who are you? Want to live with me? That would be great!"

The sound went away, and so did the picture. Dongping opened his mouth and swallowed his last breath.

The steward of the criminal hall announced the death of the two men and ordered them to be dragged out and thrown into a mass grave.

Bell woke up in pain, found himself lying on the bed, and saw a blurry figure.This person's voice was so soft and charming that half of her body, who was also a woman, was numb. "Are you awake? My sister didn't lie to you, did she?"

Bell could not speak, so he could only blink his eyes.

"Sister's medicine is hard to come by. It will take ten and a half months for your body to be healed. Don't worry about leaving scars. Sister has nothing else here. There are many beauty products."

Bell blinked again.

"Are you worried about the future? Hehe, don't worry, you've already died, so there's nothing to worry about. Don't worry, my sister won't hurt you." The woman covered her lips with a charming smile, and knelt down Beside Ling Dang, he said softly: "As long as you listen to my sister, my sister will teach you how to live as a master."
