Seeing Zhong Zhengli and Jian Mingyu, Zhong Qingan became more and more uneasy, and asked anxiously, "Third Uncle, what happened? Where is my father?"

"Get in the carriage first. I don't know much about it. You will know when you get home. As for your parents, they are all at your grandfather's house." Zhong Zhengli was in a state of confusion, and he didn't have the time to talk to Zhong Qing'an. After speaking, he entered the carriage .

The two brothers Zhong Qing'an and Zhong Qingfeng looked at each other, and they both climbed into the carriage.

As soon as he entered the carriage, Zhong Qing'an's jaw dropped from the shock of the situation inside, and he felt even more uneasy. Could it be that something went wrong with his parents because of yesterday's incident?

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Zhong Qingran began to check everyone's luck.Everyone else is fine, only Zhong Wen's situation is special.Since looking at people's luck consumes luck, Zhong Qingran will not use this ability at will.He had used this ability to see Zhong Wen before. At that time, the red light was very strong on her body, and the green light was not seen at all, but now it is red light mixed with green light. The red light still has the upper hand. Those green lights But no matter how you look at it, it's weird.

Zhong Qingran has never seen this kind of situation before, whether it is him, someone else, or Zhong Wen in the past, the green light on his body is either a green light representing bad luck, or a red light representing good luck. He was lucky enough to see it in Zhong Wen's body.

Zhong Qingran half-closed his eyes, covering his probing eyes, and didn't know what was going on with Zhong Wen.

Accompanied by everyone's anxiety, the carriage slowly drove towards Hewan Village.It's not that Jian Mingyu doesn't want to go faster, it's just that the carriage is carrying a lot of people, plus there are many things, and the load is too high, the speed of the carriage cannot be raised at all.

After more than an hour, the carriage finally drove into Zhong's house.

"Huh? Why did you even come to Qing'an Qingfeng?" Mr. Zhong was puzzled.

"Grandpa, I have something to say, you send someone to call my father and fourth uncle." After arriving home, Zhong Qingran finally looked a little better.

No need for Mr. Zhong to say much, the two brothers Zhong Qingan and Zhong Qingfeng split up to call someone.

After everyone gathered, Zhong Qingran brought Jian Mingyu into the upper room, and explained the whole story in detail. Everyone present was stunned for a while, and in the end they were all dumbfounded. Their mouths opened and closed, but they didn't make a sound .

"Qing Ran, what you said is true?" Mr. Zhong's pupils shrank sharply, and his eyes were full of fear.

Zhong Qingran nodded.

"What should I do, what should I do!" Mr. Zhong was in a panic.

Offending a lord, even if the lord Fu is behind the scenes, even if the lord will not do anything to the Zhong family on the surface, wouldn't he attack the Zhong family secretly?This is really a blessing and a curse. If the Zhong family is not as rich as it is today, perhaps this disaster will not happen, but this kind of thing is unavoidable, and they cannot give up eating because of choking.Even if the Zhong family remained the same as before, they were still likely to suffer persecution. It was better to climb higher than to lie on the ground where anyone could trample them.

Zhong Zhengli's face turned pale, and even with the brazier on, he couldn't feel any warmth on his body.It is impossible for him to defile the princess. It is impossible for him to be kind. Zhong Zhengli trembled when he thought of the end he might face.If he brought the entire Zhong family down because of him, then he would be a sinner, why would he have the face to meet the ancestors under the Nine Springs?

But people cherish their lives, not to mention, he is also a victim, so he can't do it if he is asked to commit suicide.As long as there is hope of living, he is unwilling to die in such a humiliating manner. He still has a lot of good days to live, and he doesn't want to just go to hell like this.The rest of the Zhong family might be able to escape, but he is in danger. Even if the prince can spare his life, the princess will not let him go.

Zhong Zhengli stood up tremblingly, and walked in front of Zhong Qingran tremblingly, with hope shining in his eyes: "Qingran, you are the only one in the family who is capable, you must save the third uncle!"

Zhong Qingran would not be so cruel.Although the Zhong family was not on the same page, no one had done anything harmful to the world. Besides, this matter happened because of him, so he couldn't stand by and watch.

"Third Uncle, you'll stay in Hewan Village. As long as you don't leave Pingyang County, I don't think it's a big problem. King Qi hasn't got any news yet. Before shopkeeper Fu finishes negotiating with Lu Jing, you can stay here in peace. Don't go for the time being. As for after that, I'm not sure. If it doesn't work, you can leave Pingyang County, go from Lushan, and live incognito. It's better than worrying all day long. If the Zhong family is prosperous, maybe you There will be a day when you come back."

Zhong Qingran was a little disappointed. If he hadn't intervened, then Zhong Zhengli would have married Lu Xiang'er who was an imposter, and he might have lived in peace for a while. Although the end result would not be good, at least he would not have such a big worry in his heart even if he was alive. burden.

Zhong Qingran shook his head, putting this unrealistic thought behind him, he just thought about it like this, the fact is definitely not the case.Afterwards, Princess Chun'an didn't do anything directly, but just wanted to hide the fact that she lost her dignity to others, but will the people behind the scenes let her do what she wants?Zhong Qingran dared to guarantee with his head that he would not.

The plot behind the scenes is so undisguised, even if they are sure that even if they know about it, nothing will be changed, so how can they not publicize it?Presumably, after a while, rumors about Shangjing should start flying.Under such uproar, the chief of Chun'an County either married far away, or under great pressure, insisted on marrying into his fiancé's family.If she does this, her future life can be imagined. In addition, she has to endure the torment of being pointed at by others and being treated with strange eyes from time to time.

This is already a good ending, if it wasn't for her status as the princess, she might have lived with the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng for the rest of her life, or even more tragically, she would have been abandoned by her family and died directly.

The purpose of the behind-the-scenes has been achieved, and the people behind King Qi and Shopkeeper Fu will inevitably have a rift. As for the size of the rift, it depends on how the situation develops.

Zhong Zhengli covered his face, and his body slid directly to the ground.

"Zhengli, get up, what does it look like to be so cowardly in front of the juniors?" Mr. Zhong scolded in a low voice, "It's not going well now, so you scare yourself, and if you really meet in the future, what are you going to do? You If you can’t stand up, your family will be over. Fourth, help him up.”

It took Zhong Zhengzhi a lot of effort to move Zhong Zhengli, who was limp on the ground, to the chair.It's not that Zhong Zheng is weak in intelligence, in fact, he was also frightened, and his hands and feet were also a little weak.

It was beyond his imagination to have a nephew who was enshrined in the family, and to offend a princess and the prince standing behind her, this was something he could never have imagined before, but now it all happened in front of him. .If it weren't for the third nephew who said this, he wouldn't believe any junior in the family, even his brother.But just because he believed it, he couldn't suppress the fear that rose from the bottom of his heart.

In this era of supremacy of imperial power, even a small yamen servant standing in front of him would make the common people feel uneasy, let alone a high and mighty prince, that was a height that they could not reach.

Zhong Qingran's words were a bit serious, he wanted his family to be more vigilant, so as not to cause unnecessary regrets.Seeing that Zhong Zhengli was frightened, Zhong Qingran gave everyone present a shot in the arm: "Third Uncle, what you offended was a prince, not the emperor, and Pingyang County is far away from Shangjing. It is difficult for the power to extend here, as long as shopkeeper Fu and the others do not have any problems, you are safe."

After hearing these words, Zhong Zhengli's face was finally no longer pale, but he still couldn't see where he was going. He felt lingering fear. This is really a person sitting at home, and the disaster came from the sky.

"Qing Ran, what about your Fifth Uncle?" Mr. Zhong's eyes were gloomy. Zhong Zhengxin is currently the most likely member of the Zhong family to become an official. If he is cut off from promotion, it will be digging the roots of the Zhong family.Not only Zhong Zhengxin, but also so many grandchildren in the family who have just entered school, if Zhong Zhengxin's official career is blocked, it will be difficult for others to make a difference. This has nothing to do with talent, but just the proper use of power.

"Grandpa, I'm going to talk to shopkeeper Fu about this matter. If no one in the family is talented, the Zhong family will be like this, let alone contending with King Qi. It's a big joke. As for Uncle Wu, ask someone to inform him That's right, how to choose is his own business. It's better to rely on others than ourselves, we can't rely too much on Shopkeeper Fu and the others, and we must be prepared for them to lose power." Zhong Qingran suddenly had many thoughts in his mind.

He was also imprisoned in his thoughts, so he always considered within the scope of the Great Zhou Dynasty. In fact, he could completely look further.This world is not the only country in the Great Zhou Dynasty, where can he not go overseas?

"Okay, then do as Qingran said." Mr. Zhong finalized it.

Everyone in the room filed out.

Tong Shi and the others who were waiting in the main room saw a group of people including Mr. Zhong, they all looked sad, and hurried forward to ask.Mr. Zhong shook his head. Before this matter was completely spread, the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

Seeing that they couldn't ask anything, Tong and the others didn't ask any more questions, but their faces were stained with melancholy.Although they didn't know what was going on at home, they knew from Zhong Zhengli's move of bringing his two sons back to his hometown from class that this incident might be serious.

On the same day, Mr. Zhong asked someone to go to Pingyang County to find someone to deliver a message to Zhong Zhengxin who was far away in Shangyangfu City.The content of the letter was very simple, did not say the specific reason, only gave Zhong Zhengxin two choices, one is to return to Hewan Village with his wife and children, and the other is, if he is not willing to return, he should pay more attention to himself and leave everything behind. Be careful, don't get caught accidentally, don't walk around if you have nothing to do, it's best to stay in the academy all the time.

Things have already happened, no matter how much you worry, it will not help, but will add a lot of unnecessary troubles to your life.After the initial panic, the Zhong family who knew about it gradually calmed down.The heads of the family are like the needles of the sea. Once they return to normal, the wives and children will stop thinking about it all day long, which will give them an illusion that things are nothing more than that.

From that day on, the Zhong family all stayed in Hewan Village until shopkeeper Fu came in person.

In the study room in the front yard of the Zhong family, Zhong Qingran and shopkeeper Fu sat facing each other, with a cup of tea in front of each of them, and the steam was rising, blurring people's vision.

"Business Manager Fu, how are things going?" Zhong Qingran never liked to beat around the bush when speaking, and got straight to the point.

"It's okay for Lu Jing, with me here, he can't move his hands and feet." Shopkeeper Fu's expression was not as calm as before, and his face was solemn, "Qing Ran, this matter is more serious than I thought, I guess it really can't be done Good. I've made it clear that Princess Chun'an's fiancé, Luo's family, is a family of military generals, with high positions and powers, and is in charge of one side of the military. , Didn’t it hit Imakami in the face? The behind-the-scenes move is so vicious that it’s hard to tell how many eagles were hit by this arrow.”

Zhong Qingran was silent, he thought too sweetly before, if he was just a prince, even if he was unconscious and controlled by anger, as long as he didn't die endlessly, the development of the Zhong family might be hindered, but in Pingyang County, life I can still live, endure for a while, maybe one day I will be able to turn around.Now, Zhong Qingran didn't think so.

The study room is very quiet, even the hot air in the teacup is blocked by the lid because the owner has no intention of drinking tea.

"Business Manager Fu, what do you mean?" Zhong Qingran was actually not worried that the Zhong family would be in trouble for a while, after all, even if they traveled fast, day and night, from Pingyang County to Shangjing, it would take half a month to go back and forth.What's more, after Shopkeeper Fu learned of this situation, he went to Zhong's house in person, and he knew that the people behind Shopkeeper Fu really cared about Zhong Qingran, at least they were unwilling to offend him.

Zhong Qingran lowered his eyes, his mind was full of thoughts.Although the things he provided to Shopkeeper Fu and the others were good, it was not worth the people behind Shopkeeper Fu to protect him like this.I'm afraid it has something to do with the lucky beads on his body. It doesn't have to please him, at least not to offend him.

Just like the person behind the scenes that made the Zhong family fall into the quagmire this time, why didn't they directly make a fuss about him?This time the strength may not be enough, but if he works hard for a while, it is not impossible to really move him.Although Zhong Qingran knew that their chances of success were not high, but the behind-the-scenes didn't know, did they?But they chose to abandon the once-and-for-all approach and choose to intervene from his relatives. The reason for this had to make him think deeply.

With the appearance of mysterious and mysterious things like Fu Yunzhu, it is not impossible for some capable people and strange people to appear in the mainland of the Great Zhou Dynasty.Perhaps, the people behind shopkeeper Fu and the behind-the-scenes of this incident are aware of this, which can also explain why the behind-the-scenes dare not confront him directly, because they are afraid of his counterattack power.

As long as anyone who hurts Zhong Qingran, Guangfu Yunzhu's passive ability is enough for them to drink a pot, not to mention, once he directly confronts him, he can turn luck into bad luck and affect anyone involved in this matter , even if they are thousands of miles away.As for attacking Zhong Qingran's relatives, if he wanted to fight back, he had to find the right lord, and he had to do it face to face.In this way, the behind-the-scenes will have room to operate, and there is no need to be too afraid of him.

"It's not safe here now. Although I don't know how to deal with this matter today, even if the master mediates, the punishment of your third uncle will be inevitable, and your family will definitely be implicated. It's better to think about it. if……"

Shopkeeper Fu's unfinished intentions were so obvious, it was impossible for Zhong Qingran not to notice it.

"Let me tell you the truth. My master is the third prince. The current situation is unknown. I will send you to his fief for a while. North Korea." Shopkeeper Fu actually has a good impression of Zhong Qingran. He used to have a high position, but he did not have such great power. Since the third prince entrusted him with the responsibility of cooperating with Zhong Qingran, his status can be said to be straight rise.

Zhong Qingran's heart trembled: "When are you leaving?"

"There is not much time left for you to prepare. I will wait for you at the wharf of Hewan Village in three days' time." After saying this, shopkeeper Fu paused, and then continued, "Don't bring too many things. Don’t take anything with you, and stay in the cabin after boarding the boat, and don’t let anyone see your face except the boatman.”

"Business Manager Fu, will this matter implicate my relatives and clan members?" Zhong Qingran's eyes darkened. He didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of him. What a sad thing.

"It's hard to say. Generally speaking, as long as the crime is not as serious as killing the clan, it should be fine, but the daughter-in-law from your family is very likely to have a difficult life in her husband's house. As for your clansmen, the best situation is that everything remains the same If it is a little more serious, your official career will be hindered, if you get annoyed now, your fate will be predictable, exile into the army, or even your whole family may be executed."

Zhong Qingran frowned, what Shopkeeper Fu had said was almost as if he hadn't said anything.This also means that the end of the Zhong family depends on a single thought today, and the Zhong family cannot bear such a responsibility.Zhong Qingran pondered for a while, and said: "Buyer Fu, prepare a few more boats, as long as the clansmen who are willing to leave with my family, I will take them away."

"Have you thought about it?" Shopkeeper Fu was not surprised. It's fine if he doesn't know about it. If he knows that the consequences may be extremely serious, and he doesn't worry about his clansmen at all, how terrible is this person?Such a person, the third prince would not dare to cooperate with him sincerely, who knows that one day he will turn his face and deny him?

Zhong Qingran nodded.

"Is your token still there?"

"exist."

"This token can only be used by you. You must keep it well. After entering the fiefdom of the third prince, use this token. No one will interrogate you in the place you pass by, and your whereabouts will be difficult to be grasped. Yes Alright, this time you are going to suffer a little bit, before arriving at the destination, you will try to avoid human habitation as much as possible, and sleeping in the wilderness is common." Shopkeeper Fu carefully explained the matters that need to be paid attention to, and it is impossible for him to participate in the Zhong family's departure this time. go in.

"Where is the fiefdom of the third prince?"

"Jizhou and the surrounding areas are not too far away. It is about four to five hundred miles away from Pingyang County in a straight line. It's just that you want to hide your whereabouts. It's not feasible to go by land. You have to go by sea." Pushing the teacup aside, laying it flat on the table, pointing to Qinghe and saying, "Start from Hewan Village, turn into Shuojiang, and finally go north along the coast. It takes a long time. That's why it's only given to you. The reason for staying for three days."

"The third prince's fief is near the sea?"

"Well, from here to here, it belongs to the fiefdom of the third prince." Speaking of this, shopkeeper Fu finally smiled. The third prince's status among the princes is not bad, otherwise, he would not have any competition Ability.

"My fifth uncle is studying at Cangshan Academy in Shangyangfu City. I asked someone to deliver a message to him. I don't know if he will return to Hewan Village. If he doesn't show up in three days, please make arrangements. If he doesn't let you send Those who go will refuse to leave no matter how persuasive they are, then let him go, everyone has his own destiny, and you can't force it." Zhong Qingran said this, but in fact he didn't want to see such a thing happen.

No matter how open-minded he is today, Zhong Zhengli will not be spared, and the Zhong family will definitely be within the scope of his anger.Zhong Qingran would not be lucky enough to think that the Zhong family could be lifted high and put down gently.When the person behind the scenes cannot be caught, the Zhong family is the best scapegoat.

Regardless of whether he was framed or not, Zhong Zhengli's behavior offended Tianwei. The emperor was furious, and his corpse was floating for thousands of miles. I hope he will not become angry today. Otherwise, the Zhong family has only two options. Zhou Dynasty.

The former is too difficult. There are more than 200 members of Guangzhong's family, and if you count the clan members who are willing to leave with them, there must be [-] people in junior one, right?How big a project is it to arrange suitable identities for so many people?Shanli didn't think about it. Before Zhong Qingran had such thoughts, it was because he had no other choice. Now that there is a better solution, he naturally rejected this one.

"Yes, but I don't have to wait until three days later, I will send people over when I return to the city." Immediately, shopkeeper Fu said solemnly, "I am afraid that all of your clansmen will not go with you. In this case, once the superiors send people over, they will It's the best breakthrough, you can't leave any clues, otherwise, my master will also be implicated. Otherwise, tell them the news an hour before you leave, and tidy up, this time is enough."

Zhong Qingran agreed very much. He didn't want his family to suffer because of his family, but that was without affecting their own family.

"Then, I'll go now. I won't come again if there's nothing serious."

Watching shopkeeper Fu leave in a hurry, Zhong Qingran turned around and entered the backyard, and asked Mr. and Mrs. Zhong to discuss with Jian Mingyu in the upper room.

"Grandpa, that's how things are." Zhong Qingran didn't hide anything, and told the whole story of the future.

Mr. Zhong and Jian Mingyu are fine, they knew a general idea before, but Tong Shi was greatly frightened, and his chest heaved obviously.After a long while, Tong Shi finally regained his composure: "Qing Ran, is what you said true?"

"Ah."

"It's really a crime. The second child is fine, why can't the third child control himself?" Tong's voice was trembling, and his dissatisfaction with Zhong Zhengli was palpable.

"Grandmother, Third Uncle may have been drugged by someone. I guess Second Uncle just incidentally. The medicine is extremely precious. They don't want to waste it on Second Uncle. Second Miss Qian's family can escape this catastrophe." Zhong Qingran Truth be told, at the end of the day, the crux of the matter was him.

This is generally the case in the world, no one can only enjoy the benefits without having to bear the attendant disadvantages.
