There are always bad guys who want to attack me

Although the head of the Zhou family is Zhou Rong, Duke Fu, but because of Zhou Rong's old age and lack of energy, the current head of the Zhou family is Zhou Rong's son and also Zhou Lixian's father, Zhou Yan.

I don't know if it's because there were too many killings, Zhou Rong has been having a difficult time with his offspring.Either she accidentally miscarried while she was pregnant, or she died when she was young.

It wasn't until Zhou Rong passed his age that he finally had a son like Zhou Yan. Naturally, the whole family wanted to pamper them to the bottom of their hearts.In case of this hard-won son, Zhou Rong didn't dare to let him practice martial arts hard, so he could only practice boxing and kicking.

As a result, Zhou Yan grew up in the brocade pile, not only failed to inherit Nai's father's glory, but was raised to be superior and inferior. In the end, he could not succeed in literature and military, so he had to rely on Zhou Rong's face to get a idle job in the Ministry of War.

Zhou Yan was unwilling to bury his talent, but he didn't have the courage to go to the battlefield to fight for his achievements, so he always placed high hopes on his children.

It's a pity that like Zhou Rong, he has few heirs, and he has only one legitimate son and one legitimate daughter until now.

There are three concubines, but he has always ignored him, and he can't beat and scold the only concubine.

Fortunately, although the son-in-law is not good at martial arts, his literary talents are not bad. Once he enters the officialdom, he will surely stand out.

As for the only prostitute, Zhou Yan placed high hopes on her, and taught her strictly since she was a child, just to make her the queen of Daliang.

This time, all the ministers urged Gao Zixin to get married, but it was actually Zhou Yan who was pushing the flames.

After all, Gao Zixin is a man, so it's okay to procrastinate casually, but Zhou Lixian can't!Once she passes the age, she will never even think about entering the palace and becoming a queen!

Unexpectedly, when they first entered the palace, they were all fine, and the news from the palace was that the queen mother valued Zhou Lixian, and she would definitely be selected in the final selection.As soon as the final selection was made, something happened!

Zhou Lixian, who was placed with high hopes by the whole family, was only awarded the rank of a talented person, and was even demoted to Baolin because of her crazy words in a blink of an eye!

It's a pity that Zhou Yan made many inquiries, but failed to find out what Zhou Lixian said at that time, and the other eight noble ladies present were also silent and refused to say more.

Zhou Yan felt uneasy at the time, and wished he could go into the palace immediately and ask Zhou Lixian what was going on.

It's a pity that Zhou Lixian is only a sixth-grade Baolin now, and according to the regulations, she is not qualified to meet her parents and relatives. Moreover, something happened to her just after entering the palace, and the Zhou family had to avoid suspicion.

After Zhou Yan was warned by Zhou Rong, he didn't dare to inquire about Zhou Lixian's situation in the palace anymore. Instead, he restrained Zhou's family and only waited for the opportunity to meet Zhou Lixian after passing this test.

Unexpectedly, after only three days, something happened again!

Someone actually went to Dengwen Drum Academy to beat drums and sue the imperial court, and it was the Zhou family who sued!

Zhou Yan sneered when he heard the news, he was just a pariah, yet he dared to sue the emperor's relatives!

Although Zhou Lixian is just a Baolin now, Zhou Yan believes that with her daughter's ability, sooner or later she will be able to enter the harem and become the queen of a country!

I don't even look at it, there are nine noble ladies in the final selection, except for her daughter who stayed in the palace, the other eight noble ladies were all sent home.

What does this mean?It shows that although his daughter is only Baolin, she is still valued by the queen mother and the emperor.

He didn't pay much attention to the young man who sued the imperial court, so when the housekeeper asked whether he should tell Zhou Rong the news, Zhou Yan waved his hand directly: "Father is not in good health recently, so there is no need to worry about such trivial matters." Go and bother his old man."

Zhou Rong has been in the army for many years, and he has suffered countless injuries on the battlefield. Now that he is getting older, those old injuries have begun to show up, especially after Zhou Lixian was downgraded from a fifth-rank talent to a sixth-rank Baolin three days ago because of his speech madness. The condition is getting worse, and I have been taking medicine recently.

Zhou Yan knew in his heart that the entire Duke's Mansion was now completely supported by Zhou Rong. As long as Zhou Rong, the veteran of the three dynasties, was there, no matter whether it was other ministers or the emperor and queen mother in the palace, they would have to sell the Zhou family some face.

But once Zhou Rong left, the glory of the Duke's Mansion would be gone forever.

So Zhou Rong must have nothing to do.At least, before Zhou Lixian becomes the queen, he can't have anything to do.

As long as Zhou Lixian became the queen, the Zhou family would be serious relatives of the emperor.At that time, both he and his son will have endless benefits.

So he simply blocked the news, not letting anyone tell Zhou Rong about the impeachment.

So much so that Zhou Rong was kept in the dark until the Dongchuang incident happened.

Zhou Yan felt that this was just a trivial matter. Now that Zhou Lixian had just entered the palace, if such a thing happened at this juncture, the emperor would definitely cover it up for the Zhou family, at most push a scapegoat out, and the matter would be over.

But what he never expected was that in the Hall of Qinzheng at this time, Gao Zixin was talking to Li Yi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, Liu Quan, Minister of Dali Temple, and Tang An, doctor of imperial history: "This case will be heard by your three divisions. I will investigate carefully, and no matter what I find, I will punish you severely!"

The three of them instantly understood that Gao Zixin was determined to run the Zhou family this time.

The emperor's order has been issued, although the three of them feel that it is not easy to handle, they can only accept the order obediently, and promised Gao Zixin: "I will definitely investigate this matter and give Your Majesty an explanation!"

However, Gao Zixin was not happy when he heard this. Instead, his face darkened: "You not only need to give me an explanation, but also the people of the Li people! I have entrusted you with this case. If you let me know, Some people bend the law for personal gain, and I will never forgive them lightly!"

The three of them were awe-inspiring, cautiously not even daring to breathe.It wasn't until they left Qinzheng Hall that the three breathed a sigh of relief, exchanged anxious glances, and thought about what to do about this incident.

But no matter what, this time it is absolutely impossible to bend the law for personal gain.

The three of them took the copied complaint, went back to discuss it, and then sent people to investigate the Zhou family's robbery and occupation of the property mentioned in the complaint, forcing people to death.

Feng Xuan had already made arrangements, and the people sent by the three parties quickly found the key things, even the witnesses and physical evidence.

However, what the three ministers didn't expect was that they just sent people to investigate the Zhou family's robbery and occupation of land and forced people to die. As a result, they found many other clues, and followed those clues one by one. , but discovered a big crime committed by the Zhou family!

The person in charge of investigating the case felt that there were ten opportunities for meritorious service, so he immediately tried his best to investigate, but it was hard for the three ministers in charge of the case.

The three of them looked at the incriminations submitted by their subordinates, and laughed so much that they were uglier than crying, wishing they didn't know anything!

The three of them are not stupid, and the investigation of the case went so smoothly, even the evidence and news seemed to be sent by themselves, it was clear that someone was fueling the flames.

Moreover, this person who contributed to the flames obviously wanted to put the Zhou family to death!

However, those accusations and evidence are still true, and there is no element of falsification at all.

The more they looked down, the more the three of them frowned. Who knew, the matter was far from over!Just when they were shocked by the many crimes committed by the Zhou family, they suddenly got a news that someone from the Zhou family was secretly selling private salt and iron ore!

Both of these are serious crimes of ransacking one's family and exterminating one's family!

The three of them were shocked by the thunderous news, but after calming down, they suddenly realized that this was the crux of the case.

Speaking of it, Gao Zixin's anger was a little abnormal at the beginning. At that time, they thought Gao Zixin was young, so they were filled with righteous indignation when they encountered such a tragedy for the first time, and they kept urging them to deal with it strictly.

But at this moment, after learning the news that someone in the Zhou family was secretly selling private salt and iron ore, the three of them had a suspicion in their hearts.

Could it be that His Majesty knew about this from the very beginning, and that's why he was so furious?

But if this is the case, will His Majesty's city mansion be too deep?He is only 16 years old this year!

The three of them were a little uneasy. The emperor who was too deep in the city was not what they wanted to see, which meant that they had to be extra careful in the future, and they might get caught if they were not careful.

It's just that right now they have already been overwhelmed by the Zhou family's case, and although they have doubts in their hearts, they don't dare to think too much about it.

The most important thing right now is how to handle the Zhou family's case, rather than thinking about what's there and what's not.

Selling private salt and iron ore is a felony, and the water here is too deep. Once the three of them sink into it, they may end up drowning in it!

So after the three of them discussed in private, they quickly decided to stop their efforts, cut off the clues at Zhou's house, and stop investigating further.

Otherwise, it will inevitably involve a lot of people in the end, and it is even more likely to cause a big mess!

The progress of the investigation on the Zhou family can be said to be advancing by leaps and bounds, and the monitoring of Du Xin in the palace at this time has also made progress.

Gao Zixin soon knew that there was indeed something wrong with Du Xin, the imperial physician who dared to hook up with Zhou Lixian.

At this time, Du Xin was just a small person in the Imperial Hospital, but he was handsome and gentle. Although he had just entered the Imperial Hospital not long ago, he had already developed a lot of contacts.

Moreover, this person often secretly treats and treats eunuchs and maids of low status, thereby attracting many people, and even has unclear and ambiguous relationships with many court ladies.

The person who was sent to watch him discovered that he had been secretly inquiring about the case of Zhou Lixian and the Zhou family recently, and had even connected with some people.

Gao Zixin had someone stare at him for a few days, and he roughly determined who the people who connected with him and those who were bewitched by him were. Seeing that there were no other suspicious people in contact with him again, he simply and neatly asked people to arrest him. They were arrested and tortured.

Poor Du Xin is also a talent with some tricks, until he was arrested, he didn't even think about what he was showing his secrets.

He was obviously careful and careful, but why was he still discovered?

It's a pity that he won't know until he dies. He will be exposed because of a lover from the future!

Obviously there was nothing to do, but because the future lover was reborn, all the efforts were wasted.

This sourness is simply incomparable.
