My parrot turned out to be your majesty

In the dark dungeon, a man with disheveled hair and a dirty body was leaning against the wall slumped.

He was sitting on dry grass under him, and a mouse crawled quickly in front of him.

Zhou Hongmao sighed deeply: "Thinking that I am an upright third-rank Minister of the Ministry of War, and now I am reduced to being with snakes and rats."

The footsteps gradually approached, and a woman in a plain skirt and a blue gauze appeared in front of him.

Although the woman is dressed simply, but the hairpin on her head, the well-maintained skin exposed and the demeanor of the whole body, it can be seen that this is a pampered woman.

Seeing her coming, Zhou Hongmao's eyes lit up: "Mother Luo, you have come to see me."

The woman's expression was a little indifferent, even disgusted, and she reached out and handed him something, "This is a letter from Heli, you can sign it."

Zhou Hongmao grabbed the woman's hand, lowered his head, his words stuck in his throat, and he couldn't speak.

The woman was startled: "What are you doing! Let go now."

Zhou Hongmao smiled wryly, put his forehead on the back of the woman's hand, and said in a low voice, "Mother Luo, I can't bear you."

"Do you want to drag our family to die!" the woman scolded.

Zhou Hongmao smiled bitterly: "How could I make you suffer."

Luo Niang pulled her hand vigorously, but Zhou Hongmao pulled it very tightly, she sighed: "What are you pretending to do now?"

"Back then, you were the one who wanted to kill my father-in-law's family because of the nobles of my family, wasn't it you?"

"Who keeps saying that he is not yet married?"

Zhou Hongmao let go of Luo Niang's hand, stood up abruptly, and said in a loud voice: "Am I greedy for wealth?"

"I killed so many people because I was greedy for wealth?"

"Luo Niang, I have liked you since the first time I saw you, and I will do anything to get you."

"Killing my father-in-law's family, even my own son, was for you."

"Liu Yongchang is kind to you, and I turn to him because of you."

"That old bastard, he is full of benevolence and morality, but what he actually does is all dirty things. Is Liu Yongchang more noble than me?"

Luo Niang gave him an annoyed look: "Shut up, now that you have signed the Li Shu, we will never see each other again."

"My son's official career was ruined because of you. If you don't want to hurt him again, then sign this reconciliation book."

Zhou Hongmao's chest heaved violently, looking at Luo Niang with forbearance and lust, looking at Luo Niang who turned her head and didn't want to look at him again, he suddenly said:

"For so many years, I have never taken a concubine or kept a concubine. I treat you wholeheartedly."

"Get off and I'll bring you your favorite kidney bean cake. The gentleman is far away from the cook, but I cook every dish you like."

"You only know that my cooking is delicious, but do you know that I didn't know how to cook before?"

"For so many years, even a rock is warmed up?"

"But you, you always look at me so coldly."

Luo Niang's eyes were a little moved, but she still tilted her head:

"I don't know about you and I don't want to know about it. I don't need to mention the past. I will help you in this case and save you from the death penalty."

"It's all about the love between husband and wife."

After talking so much, Luo Niang still didn't want to turn her head to look at him again, Zhou Hongmao's voice was hoarse and desperate:

"Exempt from the death penalty, exile thousands of miles, spend the rest of my life in coolies and whipping, and not see you in this life, what is the difference between this and the death penalty."

He suddenly laughed, the laughter was desperate and crazy:

"Luo Niang, your former lover, your brother Yun, was killed by me."

Luo Niang turned her head suddenly, her voice was unbelievable: "What did you say?"

"I said, I killed Yun Hutian." Zhou Hongmao said word by word.

Luo Niang's hands trembled violently, and she was almost speechless when she pointed at Zhou Hongmao: "Zhou Hongmao, Yunhutian is also your best brother, how dare you."

"It was he who supported you back then, without him, would you be where you are today?"

The woman's shrill voice resounded in the cell: "You are not afraid, he will come to you when you dream back at midnight!"

Zhou Hongmao laughed, and couldn't help laughing, as if he thought Luo Niang's words were very interesting.

"I'm afraid? How could I be afraid?"

"As soon as I thought about his death, you would marry me just because I said that Yun Hutian asked me to take good care of you instead of him."

"I can laugh out loud in my dreams."

Luo Niang covered her mouth and stared at him in disbelief. In front of her was the person next to her pillow, the person she had slept with for decades.

But now it seems so strange.

She married him not because of what Yun Hutian said to take care of him, but also because of the death of her favorite person, Zhou Hongmao treated her very well, so Luo Niang married.

At first, she thought to herself, maybe she will gradually like it in the future.

But if she doesn't like it, she doesn't like it. She can't lie to her heart.

"Beast, you are a beast with a human face and a heart!" Luo Niang scolded sharply.

Not wanting to say another word to him, she turned and left.

Zhou Hongmao looked at Luo Niang's leaving back, and fell powerlessly to the ground.

Taking the pen and paper left by Luo Niang, he signed Zhou Hongmao stroke by stroke.

If he didn't sign this agreement, Luo Niang would definitely be implicated by him, and he couldn't bear it.

As for their son Zhou Hongyuan, Zhou Hongmao loves him only because he loves the house and Wu. Zhou Hongmao doesn't care whether he can have a good future in the future.

What he just said in front of Luo Niang almost ended his own life.

Zhou Hongmao did it on purpose, he would rather die than live and suffer.

Since Luo Niang doesn't love him in this life, then she hates him.

Sometimes hate is stronger than love, so Luo Niang can remember him forever.

Zhou Hongmao does not allow it, and will never let Luo Niang forget him, or regard him as a cloud in his life, only recalling him occasionally.

He wanted Luo Niang to remember him day and night, and think about him, even if she gritted her teeth with hatred, even if this thought meant cursing him to go to the [-]th floor of hell.

As long as Luo Niang remembers him, that's fine.

With Zhou Hongmao's cooperation, the case was soon settled.

Because of his heinous crimes, he was sentenced to death.

Since his family didn't know about it, and Zhou Hongmao was an official to the third rank, taking care of the common people, his family was not involved in this matter.

Before Zhou Hongmao's execution, the generals who went to Zhanzhou finally came back, and they came back together with the money he copied from the prefect and the guard's home in Zhanzhou.

Since this matter was discovered and reported by Liu Wuwu, Liu Wuyu was also present at the court this time.

Looking at the white silver and golden gold in the hall, they are all full of boxes, several big boxes.

The officials present were all speechless.

Liu Wuyu was also speechless, but what he lamented was Liu Yongchang's greed.

The silver from the house raids must be filled into the national treasury, but the silver in this hall is only half of what Liu Wuyuan saw last time.

You know, last time Liu Wuyu only found the silver hidden in the home of the prefect of Zhanzhou.

The officer clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, these are all the silver coins that I found in the prefect's and garrison's home in Zhanzhou."

Li Xingsu looked at the money, he was angry but calm: "These are probably not consistent with the amount on the ledger."

He said in a deep voice: "Could it be that you used your power for personal gain and embezzled dirty money?"

The general said quickly: "Return to Your Majesty, I will never dare to do this. There is really only so much money."

"The magistrate and the guard of this Zhangzhou have always been extravagant and spend money like water. Both of them spend money at home."

"This house has been repaired one after another. I'm afraid all the money has been spent on these places."

Liu stood aside for no reason, sighing in his heart, these courtiers really deceived the little emperor for a fool.

Unfortunately, his gaze fell on Li Xingsu. The little emperor in dragon robe had slightly curved deer eyes, looking gentle and harmless.

It's a pity that this gentle and harmless little emperor is not a fool, and he hibernates and pretends to be a lion of elk.

Liu Yongchang said in a deep voice: "The magistrate of this Zhangzhou lives extravagantly. I have heard that I have sent people to check it recently."

When he opened his mouth, it meant something.

A group of officials who have never been to Zhanzhou and never knew any prefect spoke one after another:

"I also heard that the prefect of this Zhangzhou spends money lavishly."

"Yes, yes, I have heard of this matter."

"In this way, it is reasonable that the books do not match."

Zhang Chengen snorted coldly and remained silent.

He is not a royalist, Liu Yongchang has been greedy for this money, and it is impossible for him to let Liu Yongchang spit it out again.

The corners of Li Xingsu's mouth curled up, looking at the group of ministers below who spoke, he smiled lightly and said:

"I seldom go out of the palace, and I don't know anything about the outside world. It all depends on the ministers."

"If that's the case, let's fill the money into the treasury."

The general knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty is wise."

"It's just that the prefect and the garrison of this state, although the two are dead, but how did their family members deal with it, and which garrison soldiers were involved, have you found out?"

The general said loudly, with some complacency in his words: "Return to Your Majesty, I have found out everything, and the guards who participated in it have been escorted back to Beijing, and we are waiting for Your Majesty's order."

Li Xingsu did not answer, but looked at Liu Yongchang: "According to Liu Xiang, what should we do?"

Liu Yongchang nodded with satisfaction: "According to my opinion, the magistrate and guard of Zhanzhou, all the women in the family were demoted to slavery and sent to the Jiaofang Division, and the males were tattooed and exiled. They were sent to the palace as slaves under the age of ten. "

"And the group of guards, beheaded."

Li Xingsu smiled back, "Just as Liu Xiang said."

"Fortunately, Liu Xiang presided over the court for me in this court, otherwise, I really don't know what to do."

A group of courtiers knelt down one after another:

"Your Majesty is holy, Prime Minister Liu is holy."

Li Xingsu's eyes were dark, and his voice was smiling: "My loves, please stand up."

At this moment when everyone was satisfied, a burst of laughter resounded in the hall.

Everyone looked around to find out who was so bold to laugh out loud at this moment.

The person who laughed was naturally Liu Wuyu.

Shengming?He Liu Yongchang can also afford it.

The words used to praise the emperor are all used on himself, and he still pretends to be a minister.

Liu Yongchang looked at him sullenly: "Why is the queen laughing?"

Liu waved his hand for no reason: "I just thought of a tortoise that I raised in the past."

"It has already shed its shell and walked around with its buttocks bare, and it has to pull a piece of gauze to hide its shame."

There was silence in the hall.

Liu Yongchang's low smile broke the dead silence: "As a father, I don't know when the queen raised tortoises."

"There are so many things Liu Xiang doesn't know, just like you don't know that your sons once stuffed dirt in Bengong's mouth."

Liu Yongchang didn't want to chat with him anymore: "This court hall is not the place where the empress should come, don't come here in the future."

"It's cold in winter, the queen should be careful, don't catch the wind and chill and die."

This is threatening him, interesting.

Liu raised his eyebrows for no reason: "Father is the real talent. I am still young and now only twenty-three, with a healthy body. Father, is this year your Geng?"

Don't turn a handful of old bones into broken bones.
