Innocent cast of white iron

On the first day of the new year, everyone in the prime minister's mansion was beaming with joy. The red envelopes given by the prime minister were not thin, and no one bought a new set of clothes. They were allowed to have a day off to play.These maids and servants were naturally very happy, happily put on new clothes and went out to play, leaving only a few cleaning gardeners and cooks.

Zhao Qi was practicing calligraphy in the study at this time, when suddenly Wang Fu knocked on the door, "Master?"

"come in."

Wang Fu just went in, but he handed a red envelope to Zhao Qi, and said, "Master, although you are the head of the family, you are still a child in my eyes. When I entered the mansion, you still I can’t walk, I’m getting old with this lie, you are the prime minister of one person and more than ten thousand people! These years, the master and wife are not here, and the second master has also gone, alas! You still have to take care of yourself, what’s the matter? Tell me everything, huh?"

Zhao Qi accepted the red envelope, his eyes were slightly red.Wang Fu watched him grow up. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is an elder. His parents have passed away for many years. Over the years, he has worked hard as the head of the family, and this is the first time he has received a red envelope from an elder.In addition to joy, there is also some sadness. In his previous life, he cared too little for the mansion, and even ransacked all the houses. All the servants were sent to the frontier to work as coolies.In this life, you must repay it well.

"Thank you, Uncle Fu."

"Hey, what are you talking about? I don't have much money and I'm just thinking about it. Don't be too little." Wang Fu patted the back of his hand, turned around and went out again, closing the door by the way.At some point, the servants got to know him better and stopped calling themselves slaves.Zhao Qi didn't mind these things, but felt that they were very close.That's fine.

Everywhere during Chinese New Year is lively and bustling, and the Wang family is no exception.At this time, Wang Manman was pestering his parents to go to the prime minister's mansion to play.

Of course Wang Lu disagreed, what's the matter with a girl running to find a man?Wang Manman didn't take it seriously. Anyway, she was a husband-in-law at that time, so it was no big deal to go there to play.

Of course, Wang Lu couldn't resist this daughter, so in the end he had to let Wang Zheng take her with him.

Zhao Qi was sitting in the yard. It had just snowed heavily a few years ago, and the thick layer of snow hadn't melted yet. The pine trees in the yard were covered with a layer of snow, and the branches were so crooked that they were about to break.In the end it didn't work out either.Zhao Qi thought to himself, even this tree can withstand such a great pressure, let alone people?

After a while, I heard someone report that the future wife and uncle came to the house to pay New Year's greetings.Zhao Qi was taken aback, he hadn't gone to Wang's house yet, why did they come here first?Quickly called the servants to welcome the two into the living room.

Before Zhao Qi had time to enter the room and change his clothes, Wang Manman had already run towards him.Zhao Qi knew that Wang Manman never knew taboos, but he didn't expect her to be so bold, so he couldn't help saying to Wang Zheng behind, "Didn't I ask someone to take you to the living room, why did you come here in person?"

Wang Zhengdao, "My sister insists on coming to see you, but I can't help it."

Zhao Qi couldn't help but laugh. At this time, Wang Manman was already standing in front of him, smiling like a peach blossom, with a small face that was blushing or frozen.Wang Manman smiled coquettishly, but called out, "Mr.

Wang Zheng was shocked, why did he call it that before he got through the door!Quickly scolded, "Sister! You are so ignorant of etiquette, how decent it is!"

Wang Manman said coquettishly to his brother, "Brother, my husband didn't say anything, why are you so anxious!"

Zhao Qi wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it right now, and said, "Brother-in-law, Manman's outspokenness is better than being coy, and I really like it."

Wang Zheng didn't have anything to say now, and thought to himself, as expected, husband and wife are of the same virtue.

That night, after the brothers and sisters of the Wang family went back, Wang Fu said, "Master is really lucky. I think this Wang family is not a high-ranking official, but they don't like to make trouble. Miss Wang is kind and sensitive, and the family's trivial matters will definitely help the master. Prince Wang has real talents and learning, if he enters the court and becomes an official, he will definitely help him a lot."

Zhao Qi nodded, "Well, what you said makes sense. However, the Wang family has a big business and many shops. Since I am in charge of the court, it is better for Wang Zheng to be an official than a businessman. After all, money can turn ghosts around. Woolen cloth?"

Wang Fu nodded in agreement.

Unexpectedly, this was actually the last time Zhao Qi saw Wang Manman.

In February of the second year of Mingde, the winter had just passed, the ground was still covered with a layer of snow, and the streets looked silvery white.

A man dressed as a servant stumbled and ran on the silver ground, leaving a long series of messy footprints.The footprints spread all the way from the end of the street to the Prime Minister's Mansion at the end.

Zhao Qi threw the teacup in his hand to the ground heavily, with a cold expression on his usually gentle face, Zhao Qi looked at the servant kneeling on the ground, and asked again, "What did you just say?"

The servant felt that the cold murderous aura was pressing down on him like a mountain, and he couldn't lift his head. His forehead was dripping with cold sweat, "My lord, Wang, Wang, Wang's house was attacked by assassins last night...Miss Wang, Miss Wang is dead!"

Zhao Qi narrowed his eyes and said, "Have you found out who the assassin is from?"

The servant stammered, "My lord, those assassins are very skilled in martial arts, and the only prisoner committed suicide by poisoning himself! Also, I don't know who sent them. But..."

"But what?"

The servant dodged his eyes and seemed unable to speak, and after a while he struggled to speak, "The only assassin who was caught... yes, it was an eunuch!"

"Really, you go down first." Zhao Qi waved his hand, signaling him to back down.

Wang Fu looked at Zhao Qi, who was looking normal now, in fear, and carefully probed, "Master..."

Zhao Qi suppressed the anger in his heart, stretched out his hand and waved the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk, allowing these beloved things to be scattered all over the floor.Zhao Qi suddenly raised his lips and smiled, but there were dark waves in his eyes.

"Han Zhen!"

*****

The only assassin caught was a eunuch, apparently sent by the palace.Then there is no doubt about who the black hand is behind it.Royal affairs have always been extremely dangerous, and the world is impermanent.

Where could Wang Lu have thought that the emperor intended to marry Wang Manman as the queen before, but he would have killed him the next moment.To the outside world, he couldn't tell any rumors that were unfavorable to the royal family, so he could only smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.It is said that Wang Manman fell ill after the year.

There is only such a daughter in the Wang family, who was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, but who would have known such a tragic end.

"Master Prime Minister, my daughter really doesn't have the good fortune to marry into the Prime Minister's Mansion." Wang Lu's voice was sad, and the loss of his beloved daughter made him seem to be several years old, "If the old man knew the result earlier, it would be better to let her marry To the palace!"

Zhao Qi sat across from him, sipped tea casually, and said, "Miss Wang is the person that Truth really likes, and besides, Miss Wang has a child of Truth in her womb, so she has to be famous. So, no matter what, Truth will Marry Miss Wang as his wife."

Wang Lu's heart was sour, if his daughter was alive and he married Zhao Qi, they would surely grow old together!

"It's my daughter's blessing to be sympathized with by the Prime Minister!" Wang Lu burst into tears for a moment.

Zhao Qi lowered his eyes and didn't say any more.

After all, Wang Manman was actually killed by him.Since he insisted on marrying Wang Manman as his wife, and lied to the little emperor that Wang Manman was pregnant, these were the triggers of her death. However, Zhao Qi never thought that the little emperor would be so cruel, knowing that Wang Manman was pregnant. Manman is his wife who has never been married, and he knows that she has the blood of the Zhao family in her stomach. . .

What a Han Zhen!

Zhao Qi put down the teacup in his hand, and suddenly said, "Father-in-law, you and I are a family now, don't say anything else. Now the emperor insists on breaking the face with the truth, there is no reason for the truth to be slaughtered. What do you think?" ?”

Wang Lu has been in business all his life, so he couldn't get involved in official battles no matter what, he couldn't help but dry his mouth, and couldn't help saying, "You, you mean to..." He lowered his voice, "Treason?"

Zhao Qi glanced at him, but didn't answer.

Rebellion?

"Father-in-law's words are wrong, I have never been interested in the throne." Zhao Qi laughed, "However, I have other plans."

There is a lot of knowledge about other plans, since it is not seeking power to usurp the throne, either to establish a new emperor, or to seize the regent power!Which point is not a capital crime beyond redemption? !

Wang Lu was terrified when he heard that, and quickly said, "From now on, both the Wang and Zhao families will be prosperous and the other will be damaged. If the Prime Minister needs anything, just ask! This old man will definitely do his best and never hesitate to die!"

"So good."

Snow fell in the sky again, fluttering and falling, firmly covering the messy footprints outside the door, as if nothing had happened.Zhao Qi looked at the flying snow outside the window, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but it was as cold as frost.

The servants who were waiting on the side couldn't help but trembled. This day seemed to be about to change.
