Back To The Beginning Of Ming To Do Charity

The Zhao family in Tongzhou is also a century-old prominent family. Although there are not people who have been officials for generations, the family background is there. The head of the family is Zhao Shoucheng, and his name is straightforward. The elders' appeal to him is very simple, just keep it.

But Zhao Shoucheng himself didn't think so. He was the eldest son. He learned the six arts of a gentleman since he was a child, and studied the teachings of Confucius and Mencius. He thought he was talented.

A gentleman can do it, and a villain can do it too.

Regardless of his family's objections, he gave Jiaoer to Lu Hui.

Lu Hui only thought that Jiao'er was his maidservant, but only the Zhao family knew that Jiao'er was his daughter.

Jiao'er is his youngest daughter at the age of 40. She was born with beautiful looks since she was a child. He piled her up with rich clothes and food, and also showed her the difference between the rich and the poor. Jiao'er also knows that she will one day It will become the knife in the father's hand, slashing at unknown enemies.

No one would have thought that Zhao Shoucheng would give his own daughter to someone else as a concubine, even if the other person was Lu Hui, the magistrate of Tongzhou.

"Ma'am!" Jiao'er knelt down on the ground and walked to the feet of the mistress, tears streaming down her face, "My lord... my lord!"

The mistress helped her up and sighed heavily.

Now that the matter has come to this point, the mistress will not give up a concubine now. The husband is dead, but the crisis in Tongzhou is still there.

The mistress said to Jiaoer: "Why don't you persuade the adults to be more?"

Jiao'er knocked her head on the ground, and she sobbed, "I'm persuading you, my lord won't listen."

Where can women compete with men?

The matriarch sighed again.

Her husband died, she was not sad, just anxious.

She also hated why her husband left without leaving a son behind.

Even if it was born by a concubine?

No matter it is born by a maidservant or a concubine, it would be nice to have a son!

Did he leave, or died in the woman's belly, but now that Tongzhou looks like this, should she be asked to preside over the overall situation?

The mistress took a deep breath, and she said to Jiaoer: "I remember, you used to be from the Zhao family?"

Cold sweat dripped down Jiao'er's forehead, and she hurriedly said: "I only know that I eat the food given by the mistress and wear the clothes given by the mistress, so I have nothing to do with the Zhao family!"

The mistress: "You go and ask someone to invite the master of the Zhao family. Don't reveal your husband's affairs. Go!"

She had to hide the news of her husband's death, now Tongzhou is in chaos, if Lu Hui dies again, some people will force their family to die.

Zhao Shoucheng has been waiting since before dawn.

When his confidant brought the news of Lu Hui's death, Zhao Shoucheng finally couldn't help but stood up, clapped his hands and said "OK".

"As expected of my sweetheart." Zhao Shoucheng wiped away the pretentious tears from the corner of his eyes with his fingertips, and said to his confidant, "Madam Lu hasn't sent someone yet?"

He had started asking his wife to make friends with Madam Lu a few years ago.

After going back and forth, I naturally found out Mrs. Lu Qian's temper.

Mrs. Lu is a lady of every family, a lady of everyone who has been raised stupidly. She regards her husband as the sky, and she is what her husband says. her place in the family.

But after a long time like this, she will naturally become a marionette. Once no one makes up her mind, she will become a headless chicken.

The confidant whispered: "The envoy is on the way, Mrs. Lu wants to suppress the news of Mr. Lu."

Zhao Shoucheng's eyes lit up: "It's the right time and place!"

The bet is right now, and in the future, his Zhao family will be right in Tongzhou!

In this world, the east wind never overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. The Zhao family is cautious, why can't they take a gamble?

If you win, your family will ascend to heaven; if you lose, only Jiaoer will die.

"The Zhao family killed Lu Hui?" Lin Yuan's expression became more complicated when he received the report from the spies, and he turned to look at Song Shizhao, "Is this person so stupid?"

In the current state of Tongzhou, there is no Lu Hui, and there is no leader among the dragons. What's more, Lu Hui is the magistrate appointed by the imperial court. He relies on the imperial power and has soldiers in his hands. How can someone else have the strength of Lu Hui's words?And now that Tongzhou has become an isolated island, it is impossible for the imperial court to appoint another magistrate. If the Zhao family kills Lu Hui, they think they can keep the news of Lu Hui's death secret?Is this treating Tongzhou officials as fools?

Song Shizhao said with a smile: "The Zhao family is in charge of this generation. Zhao Shoucheng is short-sighted and delves into small ways. It is not surprising that he did this. If you think about it, the news of Lu Hui's death will be suppressed."

Lin Yuan: "It saves us trouble."

Song Shizhao: "Exactly, he will naturally do things that offend others."

"How did the Zhao family gather Lu Hui's soldiers?" Lin Yuan asked, frowning, "I can't think of that."

Song Shizhao was also a little strange: "If the Zhao family killed Lu Hui out of fear of Lu Hui's military strength, without Lu Hui, the soldiers would have to eat, except they dismissed the soldiers?"

Lin Yuan shook his head: "The soldiers will rebel."

Is the Zhao family still willing to pay a sum of money to dismiss the soldiers?That's not a small fortune.

To be precise, it is food.

Zhao Shoucheng from Tongzhou is also having a headache about this matter.

"There are 10 people!" Zhao Shoucheng originally thought that Lu Hui's soldiers were only more than [-], but he never thought that there were [-] soldiers. Although many of these [-] people are old people and young people under fifteen , but he did not dare to underestimate it.

One hundred thousand soldiers are soldiers in Lu Hui's hands, but they are hot potatoes in his hands.

Jiaoer came out from the room, and since Lu Hui died, Zhao Shoucheng took her back to the Zhao family.

She was sitting opposite Zhao Shoucheng, not at all as delicate and tender as she was when facing Lu Hui before, her expression was solemn and her eyes were serious: "Master."

Since she was a child, Zhao Shoucheng has not allowed her to call her father, but can only call her master.

"Jiao'er..." Zhao Shoucheng looked at his daughter. She had grown up, and Jiao'er was spoiled and willful when she was a child. That's why she named Jiao'er. He sighed: "Do you blame me? I gave you to Lu Hui ?”

Jiao'er shook her head: "No wonder, Jiao'er's surname is Zhao."

She is the Zhao family, the honor and disgrace of the family is her honor and disgrace, and the future of the family is her future.

Zhao Shoucheng took Jiao'er's hand: "Jiao'er, there is one more thing you need to do."

Jiao'er pursed her lips: "The master will just take orders."

Zhao Shoucheng: "Gaoyou."

Jiao'er slowly bowed down: "I will share my worries with the master."

"Okay, okay!" Zhao Shoucheng hugged Jiaoer, "As expected of my daughter! Jiaoer, you went to Gaoyou, take pictures slowly."

Jiao'er nodded: "But now that Tongzhou is under siege, how can I get out?"

Zhao Shoucheng was also stunned.

Now Tongzhou is a prison.

Even if his daughter is a phoenix, how can she perform it in a cage?

Tongzhou was already chaotic enough. The soldiers had no food, the doors of the big households were closed, and everyone was in danger.

After starving for nearly a month, the soldiers finally rioted. They killed their Shangfeng, rushed out of the barracks, and rushed to the gate of the big family. When Lu Hui was still there, the soldiers were just asking for food, but now there is no Lu Hui. Hui, the soldiers started grabbing food.

The Zhao family was also robbed.

Zhao Shoucheng issued the decree under the guise of Lu Hui, but unfortunately, under the current chaotic environment in Tongzhou, the new decree could not be implemented at all.

The big households were too busy to take care of themselves, and Zhao Shoucheng finally found something for himself to do.

He began to use those soldiers to put pressure on other big families.

The big households were in disarray and handed over their property in order to survive.

The Zhao family annexed other big households.

After all, the news of Lu Hui's death was not concealed for too long.

After the officials in Tongzhou found out, they also knew that Zhao Shoucheng was behind it. They and Zhao Shoucheng were intriguing, and Tongzhou was full of smog. Lin Yuan got Tongzhou almost effortlessly.

——The people of Tongzhou opened the city gate by themselves.

They couldn't stand such a life anymore. If it was in peacetime, the people of Tongzhou would not have the guts at all.

But now there are backlashes everywhere.

People's mentality is also easy to understand.

If no one did it, they would not dare, but if someone did it, and someone succeeded, they would dare.

When Li Congrong entered Tongzhou, he found that Tongzhou was better than Wujiang before.

At least I haven't seen the tragedy of scrambling for corpses on the road.

But the good is limited, the common people are skinny, the soldiers don't even have uniform uniforms, they are all like savages, the knives are rusty, let alone killing people, it is difficult for the knives to cut through the skin.

The worst is the Zhao family.

The Zhao family's mansion was full of corpses, and Zhao Shoucheng's corpse was lying on the street. He was like raising a Gu, and was finally eaten back.

No one in the Zhao family was alive.

As for who made the move?

No one in Tongzhou admitted it.

So Li Congrong accepted the Zhao family's wealth as a matter of course.

This saved a lot of trouble. After all, the Zhao family had searched all the big families in Tongzhou, and even if there were any leftovers, there were not many.

Li Congrong no longer has to go to verbal lawsuits with those big families.

However, Li Congrong also found the only survivor in the Zhao family.

She hid in the stables, under horse straw, and was found covered in horse manure.

It was not recognized until after cleaning up that she was Lu Hui's concubine during his lifetime.

Only then did the arrested Tongzhou officials know that Lu Hui's death was controlled by the Zhao family.

Jiaoer told everything she knew.

But she didn't know who rushed in in the middle of the night and killed more than a hundred members of Zhao's family.

"First, I heard someone say that there is a flood." Jiao'er was in a daze. "The servants were in a mess. I saw someone outside, so I jumped out of the window and fled to the stable."

Li Congrong found that nothing else could be pried out of her mouth, so he locked her in the room and asked people to watch her.

In the end, none of them noticed, and Jiao'er committed suicide by biting her tongue in the middle of the night.

All the meaning of her existence is for the Zhao family.

Now there is no one alive in the Zhao family except her. She lost the meaning of living and chose to die.

"The Zhao family... committed crimes." Li Congrong couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Giving his daughter to Lu Hui as an actress, Tongzhou at that time was not as precarious as it has been in recent years.

Raising his daughter like this, Zhao Shoucheng is a rare and cruel person.

From then on, Tongzhou became under the rule of Lin Yuan.

Because of Zhao Shoucheng, the remnant forces in Tongzhou were completely defeated.

After painstaking efforts, she finally made a wedding dress for Lin Yuan.
